Chapter 303 You need to stand up
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Baoqiang’s whole state changed.
His neck was slightly stretched forward, his shoulders were drooped, and he kept a playful look on his face.
According to what was described in the plot just now, he became a half-kneeling posture, pressing his left hand slightly hard on the ground, as if he was controlling someone's arm.
Pick up the toy with your right hand, raise it high, and scrape it against your scalp a few times,
"You asked for this. Why are you so mean-spirited?"
Then he laughed wildly and dropped his right hand.
Chen Linfeng watched in silence, feeling like he was watching a perverted murder scene.
Although I used too much force, I feel it, and I just need to restrain myself on the set later.
Chen Linfeng checked the form in his hand.
"Okay, you performed well. If there is any news later, the crew will notify you."
Wang Baoqiang had already returned to his honest demeanor at this time, and smiled honestly after hearing this.
But at this time, no matter how others looked at him, they no longer thought he was an honest person. The scene just now left a deep impression on them.
This role can basically be determined to be Wang Baoqiang. Among the other auditionees, there are also some who performed well, but Wang Baoqiang himself is more famous, so there is no doubt about the choice.
The subsequent selection of the villain was really a chaotic dance of demons.
Not only some of the more common villains in the mainland, but also Ji Chunhua and Du Yuming are here.
Several classic villains from Hong Kong, including Zhang Yaoyang, Lu Huiguang, and Chang Wei, are all here.
After watching their performance, Chen Linfeng felt that it was indeed good, but it was not refreshing.
The audience is too familiar with them, and with psychological expectations, they are less likely to have that kind of fear or even fear.
These people can be used as backup to appear in the sequel later.
In the first part, Chen Linfeng still wanted to do something different, or in other words, an actor who could give a fierce performance in a literary drama, and would not make the audience worry too much about the villain even if he was facing off against a slap in the face God of War.
Until he saw a not-so-famous actor, his eyes lit up.
Wang Qianyuan, the Tokyo Best Actor in his previous life in 2010.
The other person had a proper beard on his face, lowered his head slightly, glanced up, and his temperament came out in an instant.
Chen Linfeng watched his subsequent performance calmly.
As expected, he is a mature actor, and his performance is no worse than the classic villains just now. Due to his raw face, the contrast is much stronger.
In the end, when discussing the choice of the villain, Chen Linfeng did not say anything and let several other people responsible for selecting actors express their opinions.
They all liked the people who auditioned just now. Lu Huiguang and Cheng Kui'an were both recommended, and Wang Qianyuan actually got one vote.
Other villain actors such as Chang Wei and Ji Chunhua do not mean that they cannot act fiercely.
The main reason is that the villain in the script also has the courage of some bosses. They are limited to past roles and don't quite have this feeling, so they were dismissed.
Since everyone has different opinions, Chen Linfeng will naturally make the final decision.
Of course he still chose Wang Qianyuan. In his previous life, "Save Mr. My Life", Wang Qianyuan had proven himself, but others don't know much about it now.
It is definitely better to discover actors yourself than to rely on experienced actors.
Others have no objections. It was originally Director Xiao Chen’s decision. Even if he didn’t come today, he still had to give the audition video to the director to watch and make the final decision. At most, everyone would just add an opinion.
The audition is over, and the preparations started before the book was released last month, and are now almost in progress.
At the end of April, Chen Linfeng gathered the staff and prepared to start filming.
Click, click.
The lighting was strong. In the studio, Chen Linfeng, dressed in a black suit, sat in front of a round table.
In the middle of the back stood Jiang Wu, with Shi Xiaolong, Wang Qianyuan, Wang Baoqiang and Wu Mengda beside him.
The five people all looked solemnly and faced the direction of the camera.
"Okay, the angle is good, the expression remains, he's very handsome."
The photographer holding the camera kept pressing the shutter button and talking.
In the subsequent separate photo session, Chen Linfeng continued to pose in various poses according to the photographer's requirements.
“Every time I am manipulated to take pictures, I feel that the posture is very silly. Why do the results in the final photos look good? Is it my own illusion?” Chen Linfeng thought to himself.
By the way, I am the director, why are you filming me endlessly?
"It's time to take pictures of other people, I should be almost done."
Looking at the handsome and handsome figure in the camera, in sharp contrast with the few just now, the photographer felt that his eyes were baptized.
He was about to take a few more photos, but when he heard this, he wanted to retort.
Are you the photographer, or am I the photographer?
But he realized instantly that it was Director Xiao Chen, so he reluctantly agreed.
At this time, Chen Linfeng and the others were letting Sina Entertainment shoot reports and pictures to promote the upcoming "Police Incident".
In addition to Shi Xiaolong and several mainland actors, among the important actors is Wu Mengda, a golden supporting role in Hong Kong.
After all, there is investment in Hong Kong Island, but the face of Hong Kong Island cannot be completely eliminated.
Originally I was thinking of finding a classic Hong Kong villain, but in the end I chose Wang Qianyuan and Wang Baoqiang, so I had to make arrangements among other supporting characters.
Fortunately, the role of the police officer has not yet been officially decided, so Wu Mengda was invited to play the role of the protagonist’s police boss.
The tiger of the crime squad is back. What's more coincidental is that the character played by Wu Mengda didn't even need to change his name or role positioning.
What "Police Incident" shows is the 1980s and 1990s of the last century, which is also in line with the setting of Cao Dahua's era.
For this purpose, Chen Linfeng made a special call to Chen Jiashang, the director of "Fighting Back to School", and the production company to ask for permission.
The other party naturally had no reason to disagree with this section that was more of a tribute, and readily agreed.
After taking photos in the studio, everyone went to the living room next door for interviews.
A beautiful straight female reporter with long black hair, Wang Huiling, held the questions she had confirmed in advance in her hand. She looked at them carefully and felt that there should be no problem.
She attaches great importance to this interview. Not to mention other things, Xiao Chen, it is probably a beautiful thing to be able to get up close and personal with him.
Of course, other aspects are also important. Xiao Chen refuses to accept interviews easily. It is not easy to get such an opportunity. There are many coquettish bitches in the back who are envious and jealous.
Everyone exchanged some pleasantries and the interview officially began.
Wang Huiling asked with a smile.
"Why did Director Xiao Chen have this idea? I mean, after winning the Golden Lion Award, the first movie to be shot was a not-so-big-budget action movie."< br>
“This is an attempt of mine. The development of domestic freehand martial arts action movies has fallen into a bit of a decline. It can be seen from the market situation of movies and TV series in the past two years that the audience has become somewhat dissatisfied. Action movies after catching a cold.
So I want to try something new, and since it’s an attempt, I naturally can’t make it too big. This is my responsibility to the audience.” Chen Linfeng replied sincerely.
Wang Huiling asked with interest, "Where is the new one?"
"Punch to the flesh, return to reality." Chen Linfeng's words were concise and concise.
"Punch to the flesh, return to reality?"
Seeing that the other party didn't understand clearly, Chen Linfeng pointed to Jiang Wu as an example.
"For example, with his current body size, under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible to fight with bare hands like Baoqiang. This is the first impression of most people in reality. I will say that in the movie In response to the audience’s impression, Wang Huiling somewhat understood, “Wouldn’t this kind of real fight be too ugly?”
She also gave an example, "I have watched some ring boxing matches, such as those in "Martial Arts", which really have no beauty."
"How to look good while looking real? Or make the audience feel happy, that is our job as film creators, and this is where I say it is new.”
In this way, Wang Huiling has a general idea and knows one of the selling points of the movie. It's a fighting scene that the director said is different from the past.
“Can you tell me the general plot?”
“A very simple story about police catching criminals.”
Wang Huiling was a little unconvinced, "As the most famous screenwriter in the industry, would you tell a simple story?"
Chen Linfeng laughed and said nothing. The story is indeed not complicated. He just wants the audience to enjoy it. In fact, it is not that It’s difficult, but too many directors just don’t tell stories honestly and insist on playing tricks.
Wang Huiling asked a few more questions, feeling like she couldn't get anything interesting out of them, so she turned to the actors.
The questions basically revolve around Chen Linfeng, who obviously knows where the traffic password is.
She first asked Jiang Wu with interest, "I heard that the director specially asked you to get into such a figure. How long did it take in total?"
"It must be more than half a year in total."
"Do you find it hard to gain so much weight all at once and require high-intensity exercise?"
Jiang Wu Xi said, "It's okay. It’s just eating and practicing, it’s an actor’s job, it’s not hard work.”
…
“Ask Shi Xiaolong, what’s the difference between acting in his brother’s film and other directors. Different? ”
"Maybe he gets scolded less often?" Shi Xiaolong said with a smile.
......
"What does Mr. Wu Mengda think of Director Xiao Chen?"
"I think he is the best storyteller nowadays. Joining the crew this time, I It’s just for him.”
……
Many media outlets are actually a little confused about this report.
What exactly is the "new style" action movie that Chen Linfeng talks about? Is it really going to be good if it pursues real fighting scenes?
Even though Zhen Zidan’s previous action films were said to pursue reality, in fact they were mostly surreal. There is a big gap between many action designs and real fighting.
But looking at Xiao Chen's tone, it seems that he is completely different from Zhen Zidan, so most people are actually a little skeptical.
Secondly, the actors chosen by Xiao Chen are too obvious.
There is only one actor from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he plays a purely supporting role like Wu Mengda.
Last time, "The Exploding Drummer" had big-name stars like Zhou Jielun and Chen Yixun as supporting actors.
I just stopped acting this time. Is this to prove that mainland actors can sustain themselves without relying on Hong Kong and Taiwan stars?
Then you should choose some first-line actors from the mainland. Oh, Shi Xiaolong is a first-line actor, but he is also a supporting actor. I heard that he has not played a role yet.
Isn’t this simply making it difficult for yourself?
The most famous person in the entire crew is the director, and almost all the other actors are not actors who can play the leading role in everyone's mainstream opinion.
Somewhat strange.
Moreover, in the report, Xiao Chen also said that he chose a low cost as it was his first commercial film and he had to work steadily and focus on not losing money.
Does Xiao Chen underestimate your current status?
You have to stand up!
