Early in the morning, as soon as I arrived at the set, I heard several scolding voices with a strong Xiangjiang accent.
"Hey, do you know if I want you to speak with your eyes?"
"Why are you staring so big?"
"Sadness reveals tenderness and gratitude, you know Don’t you understand?”
Zhang Yuan watched the show with his arms crossed.
The one who scolded was Mr. Xing, and the one who was scolded was Huang Shengyi, the female number one he had just signed.
If there is a representative figure in the entertainment industry who plays a good hand of bad cards, she is definitely the number one.
Fan Bingbing also broke up with the agency that discovered her, and turned to Hua Jie and Huayi, becoming popular for more than ten years.
But this man, like Mr. Fan, went to court with his agency, but he ended up reaching the peak of his career after his debut, and his life was full of ups and downs...
In fact, we can see some clues from her debut.
This person is from Modu. After participating in the host competition, he entered Modu TV station. This can be regarded as infiltrating the Shanghai circle.
Then, she suddenly turned around and took the Nortel exam.
Oh, I want to join the emperor circle.
Then, he signed with Master Xing’s Xiangjiang faction company.
Finally, at the "advanced age" of 21, she completed the three major circles in China.
In the later period, I even knelt down to Uncle Benshan, which was able to complete the Northeast Circle.
The entire Chinese entertainment industry is not busy enough for her.
Lu Bu is considered loyal and courageous compared to her.
Logically speaking, this person’s family can be regarded as a scholarly one. His father is a professor, his mother is the editor of the Evening News, and his cousin is Academician Wu Jinglian.
Of course, this future husband’s family was also very important. It was the Juli Group that produced aircraft carrier arresting cables.
The problem is, these two families, one is a literary and civil servant, and the other is an industrialist helping the country, how can they produce these two living treasures, and they are able to work together. They are really a "fairy match".
“I couldn’t cry during the filming, but I said you cried very well.” Mr. Xing shook his head and sighed.
"Save your tears and wait until the phone is turned on."
Huang Shengyi has signed a contract with Xingye's company and is his person.
The boss is not polite when he scolds his employees, and Master Xing is also an unkind person.
After Master Xing left, Zhang Yuan stepped forward and took out a pack of tissues from his pocket.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Yuan."
"Huh?" Huang Shengyi raised his head to the sun, and his eyes adjusted for a while before he saw a handsome face with sunshine. Smiley face.
"Hello...thank you."
[Received a thank you from Huang Shengyi, +1 for hosting skills! 】
If you're on the same crew, you still have to be polite.
Moreover, regardless of what happened later, this person's appearance at this moment is still quite pure and pleasant, the kind that can be judged as the school beauty in any school.
"You just came to the crew?"
"Yes, you just came last night."
"Oh..." Huang Shengyi thought in his heart, then he is the star I brought in a substitute.
"I have read your works, "The Eight Parts of the Sky", "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" and..."
"I have also read your work, "Red Apple Paradise"." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile. .
Huang Shengyi nodded happily, of course he would be happy if someone could talk about his work.
He looked good and was quite polite, and the two quickly started chatting.
“Are you a little younger than me?”
Not long after, Huang Shengyi was surprised and looked at Zhang Yuan in disbelief.
“I’m a few months older than him, and I’ve only filmed one TV series so far, and this “Kung Fu” is still my second one.”
“But people are big and small. Xiaodu has made more than ten films!”
She originally thought that if she could join Master Xing’s company, she would be a leader among her peers.
But I never expected that this "substitute" would be much more cruel than me!
Originally, she thought that since she was from Xingye Company and a starring role, she would be a bit arrogant in front of everyone.
But in front of this peer who smiled particularly kindly, she felt a rare trace of anxiety and jealousy.
"Hey, look at him, he seems to be more suitable for that girl than Mr. Xing."
Not far away, there is a colorful perm on the head, a Marlboro between his lips, and a green herringbone on his feet Damn, with this look, if Zhang Yuan was not allowed to see the real person and instead told him orally, he would definitely think it was Brother Qian.
But this is Chedun, not Tianqiao Le, and of course it is not Yu Qian who is here.
"Yes, I have told you before that he is handsome."
Wearing a curly wig and white pajamas, Yuan Hua whispered to his senior sister Yuan Qiu.
Despite how old Yuan Hua is, he is actually two years younger than Yuan Qiao.
"How do you know it will be him?" Yuan Qiu asked confused.
Yuan Hua squinted and smiled: "I took him to Xiangjiang for an audition half a year ago. I knew it then."
Yuan Hua told his senior sister that he almost turned his supporting role into the protagonist on the set of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
"So, he is very fierce?"
"More fierce than you think." Yuan Hua curled his lips: "He can also fight very well."
"Then if he comes now, aren't you afraid that Brother Long will have any objections?" Brother Long in the sky of Yuanzhu is not Jackie Chan, but senior brother Yuan Long, also known as Hong Jinbao.
"Hehe, this is the most powerful thing about him." Yuan Hua leaned close to the junior sister's ear: "Before he came to the crew, he had already gone to the senior brother's place to say hello."
"Oh?" Yuan Qiu was stunned, then turned to look at Zhang Yuan who was chatting with Huang Shengyi again.
“His thoughts are delicate enough.”
“It’s a pity that we don’t have a rivalry.” On the other end, Zhang Yuan was still chatting with a smile.
"There will be opportunities in the future."
Didi didi... Just then, a phone call interrupted their chat.
After giving Huang Shengyi an apologetic look and saying hello, he came to the side.
Picking up the phone, a sad and desperate male voice came from the opposite side.
“Are you on Master Xing’s set?”
“Yes.”
“What a sin!”
The caller was none other than Wu Jing.
"Hehehe...be careful not to get angry."
"Get out!"
Wu Jing cursed angrily.
We went to the audition together, but neither of them was selected. Although he was sad, he had someone to accompany him.
I just learned from someone today that Zhang Yuan unexpectedly joined the crew halfway, which gave him an instant heart attack.
I have been a professional martial arts athlete for so many years, and I know so many seniors, why not choose me.
He has a very good relationship with Zhang Yuan, otherwise he would not have called him directly to get mad and show his envy, jealousy and hatred directly to him.
The real enemy will hide these emotions and turn them into the motivation for revenge.
Zhang Yuan knows very well that this is called being unreasonable.
"Yuan, you are so lucky... No, it's not your luck, it's your strength." Wu Jing was stunned for a while and then said helplessly.
"When you return to the imperial capital, let's drink and celebrate together."
"Of course, I'll treat you." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.
“Nonsense, I have to invite you, I want to give you a good meal!”
Putting down the phone, Zhang Yuan smiled, this guy was quite straightforward.
Although this was Zhang Yuan's first day on the set, due to time constraints caused by temporary substitutions, he had to play his part.
Put on a black suit, black trousers, and black leather shoes.
The leather shoes are shiny black.
The back is shiny and black.
His eyes are also bright and black.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, he attracted the attention of many cast and crew members.
Many of the Ax Gang extras kept nodding their heads when they saw him.
“Otherwise they can be supporting actors, and we can only be extras.”
“Yes, once we appear on the stage, our temperament is different.”
“ Comparing our faces and figures with others, we are destined to die.”
"Hey..."
This scene is after the thug played by Lin Xue is kicked away by the coolie. Brother Chen personally brings people to the door. The scene he takes is the first small climax of the film.
That is to say: Zang Zang, a master of Zhulong City Walled City, Bagua Lang with Southern Fist and Northern Legs.
Before the first "revelation" of these three masters, when Hong Jinbao was a martial artist, he had already filmed the fight between the coolie and the tailor in this scene, leaving only the fried The two had a falling out before the ghost fight scene could be finished filming.
The scene that follows this scene is a big fight scene.
Master Xing is wearing a sun-protective suit and a sun-protective hat on his head, which is similar to a peaked cap but with two curtains on both sides. He looks like a Japanese soldier entering the village.
“As a boss, when you saw your younger brother being beaten half to death, you became furious and ordered your subordinates to threaten their lives to force out the perpetrator.”
“The main thing is to show the viciousness of the boss. Do you understand?”
Zhang Yuan said OK and was ready to start shooting.
This was his first scene, and because he was brought in temporarily, there were so many people curious about him that almost all the leading actors came to watch.
In addition to Huang Shengyi, Yuan Hua, and Yuan Qiao mentioned just now, Shi Xingyu, the actor who plays Coolie Qiang, was also present.
This person’s original name is Zhang Shuwu. From his stage name, many people can tell that, like Shi Xiaolong, this person comes from Shaolin.
But Xiaolong’s master is the host and group chairman Shi Yongxin, and this master is the head coach of the Monk Team.
According to the time of entering the temple, Shi Xingyu was only one year earlier than Shi Xiaolong.
However, because the master he worshiped has such a high status, Shi Xingyu is the 32nd generation disciple of Shaolin based on seniority.
And Shi Xiaolong is the 30th generation!
The two are two generations apart. If we really wanted to talk about it, Shi Xingyu would have to call him Master Shi Xiaolong, who is ten years younger than him.
In addition to him, Zhao Zhilin, who plays the tailor, and Dong Zhihua, the fried devil, are all standing aside and secretly thinking about him, as if to see how capable this young actor is and how he can be... Xingye came to the rescue.
“Every department is in place...ACTION!”
At the scene, inside a large woven bamboo bucket, Lin Xue, a fat man, was lying on all fours, with his hands and neck curled up next to his torso in a very twisted posture.
Under him is a pile of garbage... not prop garbage, but real garbage, scraps of paper, rags, kitchen waste, a hodgepodge of all kinds.
Not to mention lying inside, just getting close and smelling it requires courage.
And this scene was a close-up of Zhang Yuan’s face. Apart from his face, there were only Lin Xue’s two lower legs in the sky.
It actually works if you let a substitute take over.
But Lin Xue came here on her own, just for the sake of two calves that the audience wouldn't care about, so that she could not wear them.
Laogang actors are still dedicated.
Zhang Yuan walked forward slowly, bowed slightly toward the trash can, and looked directly at Teacher Lin Xue, who was pretending to spit foam.
"Fuck..."
There is not a single line in this paragraph. He added this modal particle himself.
Although Mr. Xing is also annoying, unlike the King of Sunglasses and the old lady Qiong Yao, not a word of the lines in the script is allowed to be changed, giving the actors a certain amount of creative space.
His expression slowly changed from surprise to seriousness, and finally his eyebrows raised, his anger rose, and he looked like he wanted to eat people.
“Stuck!”
Master Xing shouted to stop and called Zhang Yuan to the monitor.
The rest of the actors watching the excitement also peeked at the scene.
Master Xing replayed his performance just now.
"Your eyes are pretty good, there are changes." Mr. Xing said, glancing at Huang Shengyi aside.
Miss Huang shrank her neck.
There are not even any lines, only the eyes are needed, but the performance is not good... Mr. Xing thought helplessly.
The other actors looked at it and nodded.
On the first day, the first time, I was able to get into the scene and perform at a high level, which was already pretty good.
This person's acting skills are obviously mature beyond his years and very complete.
"But I think there is something wrong. It is not fierce enough, not ruthless enough, and it cannot reflect the arrogance of this boss."
Xing Ye made exaggerated gestures with his hands.
"Well, I also think there is something wrong." Zhang Yuan nodded.
"But I think it's not my problem." He received it immediately.
As soon as this sentence appeared, the entire director team was instantly silent within a radius of ten meters!
The last person to speak like this was Hong Jinbao, who was "persuaded" by Master Xing to quit.
Yuanqiu stared at his junior brother.
“Hey, is he so brave?”
"This paragraph is considered small." Yuan Hua waved his hand, still smiling: "Look, he must have his own reason for saying this."
"What do you mean?" Master Xing also frowned. frowned.
“I think there is something wrong with the design logic of this character.” Zhang Yuan rubbed his chin.
“You asked me to play the role of a vicious blackboard boss.”
“The Ax Gang should be the biggest evil force in the film.”
"That's right." Mr. Xing replied patiently.
We just signed the contract and found the person ourselves. We can’t just kick them out now. That would be a slap in the face.
Of course we can only communicate well.
“The background of our story is the Republic of China period, right.”
“As far as I know, whether it is Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin of Shanghai, or Li Jinao of Jinmen, .”
"These big guys back then were darker and more fierce than the last."
"However, they all behaved like gentlemen in front of others."
"In other words, to truly become big guys After all, these people not only don’t show vicious expressions at will, but also deliberately hide their viciousness and use kind faces to deceive outsiders.”
“Those who are really full of violence and go around killing people will only do it. It’s a thug, Red Stick.”
“These gangsters will not go down personally unless the opponent’s status is high enough.”
The other actors looked at each other and it was true, he was right.
After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Xing nodded.
That’s right.
Although he has never met those big guys from the Republic of China, he knows that the Xiang family brothers will not kill anyone personally.
“But this character needs a sense of contrast.” Master Xing understood what he meant.
Once he becomes calm and sinister, he will become the image of a traditional gangster.
“But characters also need logic, otherwise I won’t know what to do when I act.”
“Then what kind of logic do you think can make a boss crazy and unusual?”
What the other party said was reasonable, so he had no choice but to ask.
“I think it would be nice to add a setting.” Zhang Yuan said in a low voice.
"Poison!"
"Poison?" Mr. Xing's eyes widened: "Are you talking about white powder?"
"It is this kind of poison, but not white powder. Where did it come from? "White powder."
Not to mention white powder, even ice had just been invented in those days, and it was still used as a military supply and was distributed in large quantities in the army, which was living a good life, under the pseudonym "Assault Ingot".
“I’m talking about big smoke.”
"The gangsters of those days couldn't escape pornography, gambling and drugs if they wanted to make money. As the boss of the Ax Gang, Brother Chen should have easy access to such products."
"And if you eat too much of this stuff, people will He will be drunk."
Mr. Xing's eyes flashed back and forth. He knew this very well. After all, in Xiangjiang 20 or 30 years ago, he had personally seen a drunkard die from poison.
Some acquaintances have even lost their lives because of this.
"It makes sense..." Master Xing suddenly thought that if the setting of sucking D was added, another problem could be solved.
He will ask Zhang Yuan to come. In addition to his good acting skills, the main reason is that his dancing is really special.
Looking at how to connect the plot and logic of making a gangster dance in a Kung Fu movie?
Now that we have the setting of sucking D, it makes sense!
After all, people will dance when they are high, and everything will fall into place.
“Okay, not bad.”
Mr. Xing praised.
Just this sentence made the studio quiet again.
When did Xingye become so easy to talk to? Have you heard the advice of a young actor?
"Well, I think he can do it." Yuan Hua pushed his senior sister Yuan Qiu's arm. This woman's mouth was crooked and her eyes were glaring in disbelief.
Singye is known as the "tyrant on the set".
It is common for a scene to be filmed dozens of times and even the actor’s mother to scold him even if he doesn’t recognize it.
But there is one thing, Master Xing is not stupid.
What Zhang Yuan said makes sense, of course he will listen.
If the character needs to be changed just to add drama to himself, he will naturally not agree.
Zhang Yuan's opinion was just for the character and role logic, and it made sense. He had no reason to refuse.
"Interesting, really interesting."
The rest of the actors all turned their attention to this young man who dared to "correct" the star... (End of chapter)
