Chapter 159 One word, absolute!
Zhang Yuan still stood in the center of the audition office, facing the "judges".
“What I want to show next is not Kung Fu.”
He said with certainty.
“Oh, what is that?” Mr. Xing and Hong Jinbao looked at each other and asked in confusion.
Zhang Yuan did not answer, but put the stick back on the weapon rack first, then returned to the middle of the open space and stood up straight.
He cleared his throat and relaxed his arms and legs.
Zhang Yuan pinched his throat and said in a voice similar to the Spring Festival Gala announcement: "Now please enjoy the song and dance performance."
The next second, under the gaze of everyone, his hands Both feet moved at the same time.
Left hand, right hand, slow motion, right hand, left hand, slow motion replay...
Zhang Yuan bent his knees and half squatted. While slowly straightening up, his upper body first held his chest, and when he stood up straight, he raised his chest at the same time.
Raise your arms flat and move in a wavy rhythm.
Follow closely with your feet, lift your legs and take a step, then move your legs across each other.
My mouth is not idle, and I am still singing.
“There is singing beside the clear water, I thought my lover was singing.”
"The water birds fly in pairs..."
"Nah yeah, nah yeah!"
That's right, his second performance was when he was on the set of "Conquest" , break dancing from Sun Honglei!
He has been collecting these attributes for a long time, but he has been holding them back to no avail. It is quite uncomfortable to hold them in!
Now that I can finally show it, I feel particularly happy.
Although Xiu doesn't have many attributes, he still has the three-point style of the Dance King Honglei Ge.
Of course, he didn’t dance blindly!
Why did Wu Jing remain calm when he was nervous and scratching his whole body?
Because the role of Coolie Qiang has never been his goal.
His real target is another character.
The leader of the Ax Gang, Brother Chen!
Compared to the coolie Qiang, the tailor and the fried ghost, Brother Chen has obviously more roles, and his importance is even equal to that of the landlord and the landlord.
And this character does not have any fighting scenes in the film, so he can avoid direct confrontation with other martial arts masters during casting.
Just as he expected, for the role of Coolie Strong, in the heart of Hong Jinbao, the martial artist, he couldn't even compete with Wu Jing.
Faced with this dead situation, he did not want to give up the God-given opportunity that Yuan Hua had brought to him.
Simply adjust the track.
The east is not bright and the west is bright.
“I won’t play with you vulgar warriors anymore!”
Look at the judges again.
Sammo Hung’s eyes widened and everyone was dumbfounded!
This, this, what is this?
Is this your talent?
Zhang Yuan's stick technique just now really made Hong Jinbao interested, and he also spoke highly of him.
When Zhang Yuan said that he had other talents, he was very willing to see them, so he patiently wanted to take a closer look.
I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it.
Zhang Yuan was stabbed in the butt with a knife, and his eyes were wide open!
He was puzzled by Zhang Yuan's dance.
He is not an expert and dare not say how he dances.
But this dance step is obviously not in line with the current trend. It looks like a product of the 1970s and 1980s.
Russian dance steps, accompanied by rustic folk songs.
What on earth is he going to do?
The good impression he had just due to the stick technique was gone. Hong Jinbao turned his head to look at Zhou Xingchi with a puzzled look on his face, and then he was stunned.
“Giggle, giggle…”
At this time, Mr. Xing was covering his mouth and laughing wildly, making a standard Zhou laugh.
Hong Jinbao:? ? ?
"Nah yeah, nah yeah..." Zhang Yuan turned around gorgeously, put on an earthy POSS, and finished singing.
"Thank you!"
"Hahahaha!"
By the time he finished dancing, Master Xing finally couldn't hold himself any longer.
He slapped his thighs and laughed wildly. He stopped after half a minute and took a deep breath.
Then gave him a thumbs up.
"One word, absolutely!"
Hong Jinbao seemed to see two fools: "You can dance so stupidly?"
Xing Ye smiled and shook his head: "It's just because of the earthiness that it's amazing!"
As I said before, the old partners Xingye and Liu Zhenwei like to use amateur actors the most.
The fundamental reason is that they like to use the unprofessional and market-oriented images and performances of amateur actors to bring out a special sense of contrast in a very professional movie.
This sense of contrast is the source of laughter in Zhou's comedy.
At the same time, Master Xing is also particularly good at using this sense of contrast in character design.
The landlord who is lustful and afraid of his wife is a master of Tai Chi.
The ferocious businesswoman is kind and caring.
The GAY tailor in GAY is good at using the extremely powerful Hong Fist.
The appearance and interior of each character are extremely contrasting, and that is why they are so impressive.
Zhang Yuan, who is tall, handsome, and good at martial arts, suddenly gave such an earthy performance. The key is that he was full of confidence.
The contrast is immediate!
How could Mr. Xing not be happy?
"Come here." Master Xing waved to him and called him to him.
"Tell me, what have you studied and acted before?"
Hong Jinbao suddenly reacted.
“Is this kid doing it on purpose?”
“Is he trying to attract Xingzi through this behavior?”
The eldest brother looked at him carefully again.
“He didn’t talk about his performance experience before, but now after dancing this terrible dance, Xingzi took the initiative to ask.”
“He really did it!”
Master Xing asked the assistant on the side to hand him a folding stool and asked him to sit down and said.
"Master Xing, I have acted in four TV series before, and now I am filming one TV series."
"If I want to talk about the type of role I am good at, it should be the villain."
"In these five TV series, I have played four villains."
"So it is easier for me to choose the villain role . ”
Zhang Yuan’s words, both inside and outside, are all trying to lead him to the direction of the Ax Gang’s eldest brother.
“Oh, we have booked a lot of villains in the film.” After watching his awkward dance, Star Master burst out with inspiration.
The movie "Kung Fu" has not even been decided on a title yet, let alone filming.
He only designed a few rough images of the main characters and had a script outline that could be changed by him at any time, that's all.
The highlights and characteristics of these characters have not yet been fully determined by Star Master.
After watching his dance, Stephen Chow wanted to add a character who could dance awkwardly in the film.
He is so casual, whatever comes to mind.
But Hong Jinbao on the side raised his eyebrows and immediately stopped him.
"Xing Zai, our movie is a kung fu movie, and it should focus on kung fu."
Faced with Jackie Chan, who pretends to be the big brother, he naturally won't call him Xingye.
Even though he is a martial artist and the other person is a director, he always believes that they are equal, after all, my qualifications are there.
“It’s better to add less of this kind of messy stuff.”
However, Mr. Xing retorted: "Kung fu movies are kung fu movies, but the expression techniques don't have to be so old-fashioned."
"I have been making kung fu movies for more than 30 years, and I know all the routines."
"I came here because you said you wanted to make a real kung fu movie." Hung Kam-bo refused to give in.
Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes and smiled secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, these two had differences from the beginning!
In fact, it is very common for directors and Wu Zhi to have differences.
But the problem is that both of them have overbearing tempers, and neither of them obeys the other. Just like Zhou Xiaowen and Zhang Jizhong, once these two tough-tempered people face off, they will have to create a king.
"No wonder Big Brother left in the end."
Zhang Yuan knew that in the end, the "Eighth Master" Yuan Heping was hired to take charge of the overall situation.
Not long after Zhou Xingchi started filming, the two got into a fight.
Hong Jinbao was angry, put on airs, and asked for leave to go back to Xiangjiang for medical treatment.
Who knew that Master Xing was not used to this old man at all, so he kicked him directly.
After that, the two never interacted with each other until death, and Hong Jinbao kept holding his breath.
And Zhang Yuan also roughly guessed the reason why Hong Jinbao interrupted at this time.
He is not the only one who came to this film!
Hong Jinbao has three sons, Hong Tianming, Hong Tianxiang and Hong Tianzhao.
Among them, the youngest son Hong Tianzhao has been arranged by him to join the martial arts team and takes him with him personally.
The remaining two good guys probably also want to find a job in the crew.
Don’t let the rich water flow to outsiders’ fields.
Especially the eldest son Hong Tianming, because of his father's favor, he has appeared in many supporting roles in film and television dramas.
"Could it be that I'm blocking someone else's way?" Zhang Yuan wondered.
Actually, his guess was pretty accurate. The villain Hong Jinbao was keeping an eye on his son. Now that he was showing signs of interfering with him, the eldest brother would of course have to stop him.
How can I have my own son to kiss my descendants?
The two argued for a few more words, and Mr. Xing waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, I understand."
"Leave his contact information." After saying that, Master Xing turned to look after his assistant.
After Zhang Yuan left his name and mobile phone address, he bowed to several people.
"Master Xing, Master Hong, say goodbye."
Strode out of the room and returned to the lounge.
“Why have you been gone so long?”
As soon as he returned to the house, Wu Jing came up to him, feeling guilty.
"Have a few chats with Mr. Xing." Zhang Yuan said casually.
“What!” Wu Jing raised his eyebrows so sharply that the wrinkles on his forehead appeared.
During his audition, Master Xing didn’t say a word to him.
“Could it be that my brother is going to succeed?”
"If he succeeds, won't I be disappointed?"
My brother wants to drive a Land Rover, what should I do? I'm waiting online. It's quite urgent.
I was nervous before the audition, and even more nervous after the audition!
The two chatted in the house for a long time. In the evening, Yuan Hua returned to the house.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to a good meal and then return to the set.”
"Uncle Yuan, our audition..." Wu Jing asked anxiously, scratching his head and ears.
Yuan Hua didn’t say much, just shook his head slightly.
"Neither of us were selected?"
The question was withdrawn, and the brothers did not drive the Land Rover.
Wu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
None of us were selected, so it’s not that there’s a problem with my ability, but that the requirements are too high.
"Are you okay?" Wu Jing became concerned about him.
“It’s okay, it’s just an audition.” Zhang Yuan stood up with a smile.
Besides, it is still unclear whether there will be a drama...
Needless to say, Yuan Hua was protected by Hong Jin, and his acting was indeed top-notch, so he was arranged for a re-examination on the spot.
And in order to match his time, the second audition was arranged after the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" ended.
When you are strong enough, the crew will change for you.
And even if Hong Jinbao left later, Yuan Heping, who replaced him, was also a member of the Seven Little Blessings and his junior brother, so he would still be protected.
"Go slowly, Wu Jing and Zhang Yuan, we will have the opportunity to come to Xiangjiang to cooperate in the future."
Hong Jinbao went out to see them off in person.
He meant what he said.
Needless to say Wu Jing, Zhang Yuan's performance also made him quite amazing...except for the dance.
"Goodbye, Mr. Hong."
"Senior brother, let's go."
Hong Jinbao waved goodbye, turned around and was about to go back to the office to discuss the script with Mr. Xing, But the cell phone in his pocket dinged.
Picking it up and looking at it, the fierce-looking Hong Jinbao rarely smiled.
"Junior brother, what's going on?"
It just so happened that one of my junior brothers came to my door today and another one called me.
Only brothers who grew up together can make the eldest brother smile from the bottom of his heart.
“Brother, you said before that you were on Master Xing’s crew, right?”
The caller was also an acquaintance of Zhang Yuan.
It is Yuan Bing, the martial artist from the cast of "Dragon Movie".
"It's me, I'm in Xingzi's company now."
"That's just right, I would like to recommend someone to come to your crew to audition." Yuan Bing spoke softly to the senior brother With respect.
“Who is worthy of your recommendation?”
"I know someone on the crew who can fight, dares to fight, is also very smart, and has a bright future."
"That's great, okay, you tell me your name and mobile number, and I'll ask Xinghui's Someone contacted him for an audition. "He naturally wanted to give face to his junior brother's recommendation.
"But as we agreed, I can't be blamed for failure."
"Yuan Hua also brought two juniors today, and they probably won't succeed." Hong Jinbao specifically used Yuan Hua as an example. , say the ugly things first.
"I know, if it doesn't work, it's a good idea to open your eyes." Yuan Bing smiled and replied: "His name is Zhang Yuan, and the phone number is 138..."
Halfway through reporting Yuan Bing's number, he was sharply interrupted by his senior brother.
“What do you think this junior’s name is?”
“Zhang Yuan, what’s wrong?” Yuan Bing was startled.
Did that kid offend my boss?
Hong Jinbao turned around suddenly, ran to the office window, and looked at the figures that had just left the office building and were already the size of soybeans.
"One of the two people Yuan Hua brought today is named Zhang Yuan."
"Ah!!!" Yuan Bing was so surprised that it took him a few seconds to react.
“When I talked to him on the phone a few days ago, he said that he had met a young man with great potential.”
“I also said that I had met a good young man. ”
“Maybe we are talking about the same person! ”
Hong Jinbao looked at one of his three tiny figures, with many thoughts in his mind.
He was recommended by my two junior brothers?
The elder brother’s eyes flashed, recalling Zhang Yuan’s performance in the audition just now.
It’s really different.
Kung fu is not bad, and his attitude is also very good.
"I understand. He has already participated in the audition and is now on the waiting list. There is little hope."
"But..."
"I will discuss it with Xingzi."
Even though he was thinking about his own son, he still cherished the talent of such a talented person.
Besides, the stick fight with Zhang Yuan just now made him helpless, but it was really enjoyable!
After all, it is rare in the entertainment industry to be able to defeat him.
Thinking of this, Hong Jinbao added another sentence.
"If he is not selected for the crew of Xingzi this time, I will give him another chance in the future."
"Thank you very much, Brother." Yuan Bingben As for his intelligence, as soon as he heard the boss express it like this, he knew clearly that he must have seen Zhang Yuan's abilities in person.
Putting down his cell phone, Hong Jinbao poked his head out again. Under the setting sun, the three figures were no longer visible.
