Chapter 254: You can’t live without being crazy
Master Xing has seen the “world”.
In the turbulent era in Hong Kong, many celebrities and bosses smoked "flour".
Even some film and television companies and some small circles use "flour" as a reputation for investment.
Only by holding each other's hand can a fragile alliance be formed.
Moreover, this "method" is not unique to Xiangjiang. Europe, the United States, the mainland, and the treasure island are all no exception.
Hawking had to go to the island even if he was in a wheelchair, which actually means the same thing.
If you want to join the circle and get rich, you have to join in the fun, otherwise who can trust you?
Master Xing has seen too many such incidents and too many such people.
So, he knew very well what these drug addicts looked like.
And what about Zhang Yuan in front of him now?
His eyes were dull, his cheeks were sunken, and the corners of his eyebrows were drooped. He still had the young and talented look from before.
What's more, he kept yawning and sniffing his nose from time to time. That look, that state...
"I didn't let you really suck!"
Xing My head is buzzing.
This doesn’t cost me my life!
I asked you to act, and it’s really okay for you to do it.
“I didn’t inhale?” Zhang Yuan rubbed his eyes and replied weakly.
“No, I sucked it.” He added.
“How dare you admit it!” Master Xing was almost driven crazy.
He knows very well what mainland China's attitude is towards D.
If someone on the crew did this, the whole film would be ruined.
"I smoke cigarettes, what can't I admit?"
"Smoking can make you smoke like this?"
Xing Ye showed the same expression as Lu Yu.
Really? I don’t believe it.
“He is telling the truth, we can prove it.”
At this time, Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu happened to come to the set and heard their conversation.
Zhang Yuan's move of "entering the game with his own body" even amazed the three seniors.
When they debuted, the entire Xiangjiang entertainment industry was in the Shaw Brothers era. The actors of that year were very competitive!
Of course, most of them are forced to do so.
But in this day and age, it is rare for someone to be so cruel to oneself.
“Really?” Mr. Xing was still in disbelief.
"No, I can do a urine test on the spot." Zhang Yuan said and began to unbutton his pants.
Huang Shengyi stuck out half of his head from the side, narrowed his eyes, and looked at it quietly and carefully.
"Forget it, I believe it, I believe it..." Master Xing hurriedly interrupted when he saw his vow.
Huang Shengyi took back his head in disappointment.
Half of his pants were taken off...
Soon after, in the dressing room, Zhang Yuan once again put on Brother Chen's iconic black suit.
“Brother, it’s not that interesting.” Zhang Yuan said to the girly makeup artist. It seems that in the makeup artist profession, among male makeup artists, the probability of Galli Galli being a male makeup artist is particularly high.
"What's the difference?"
"That's it..."
Soon after, in front of the camera, Master Xing waved to him.
Lin Xue lay helplessly into the trash can again.
Zhang Yuan stood firmly facing the camera.
Master Xing hadn't started filming yet, but he just glanced at the monitor, and his heart trembled.
“It’s so similar!”
“You don’t even have to act, the look of a neurotic gangster is already there.”
“This guy is great. Sharp.”
“ACTION!”
Zhang Yuan tilted his head as before, stepped forward, and smiled coldly.
“Stuck!”
“Come here for a moment.” Mr. Xing frowned.
"In this picture, when your mouth smiles, why is it so dark inside?"
Xingye asked in confusion.
Zhang Yuan didn't speak, he just grinned.
When he smiled, his mouth full of black and yellow rotten teeth suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Your teeth..."
Zhang Yuan broke it off hard and took off the whole piece: "It's fake, let the makeup artist do it for me."
"Why..." Mr. Xing just asked, and then he reacted.
A junkie's rotten teeth!
Master Xing nodded slightly, then smiled and patted his shoulder: "Yes, this detail is very good!"
He himself is a maniac about details, and Zhang Yuan is obsessed with details. The meticulous handling made him very useful.
【Received thanks from Zhou Xingchi, comedy talent +1! 】
To put it simply, Zhang Yuan filmed the scene where the Ax Gang goes to the Pig Cage Walled City.
In the play, Yuan Hua, who played the role of the charterer, was lying on the side with a broken flower pot on his head.
Because the shooting cannot be completed in one day, all the flowers above the head are fake flowers.
And there are two sets of these fake flowers.
Note, it is not two pots, but two sets, two sets with different shapes.
One set is in full bloom, and the other set is in full bloom.
Why do the same pot of flowers appear in two different shapes?
Because the blooming flower is used before the Ax Gang arrives, and the closed flower is used after Brother Chen arrives.
The changes in the atmosphere are expressed through the details of the flowers. Master Xing has taken all these details that are difficult to notice into consideration.
The changes and transitions of the flowers have to be done with special effects lenses.
The money for this special effects shot is enough to buy a cart full of flowers.
Just so serious.
Master Xing kept looking at Zhang Yuan in front of him, thinking that the 150,000 he had spent was so worth it!
This kid has the potential to act like a lunatic.
Wow!
A bucket of water dyed pink was poured over the heads of a pair of mother and child actors. Adults and children were curled up, looking at Zhang Yuan who was pacing towards them with horror on their faces. .
"Wow..."
The young actor didn't have to act at all. When he saw Zhang Yuan's face now, he was so frightened that he cried.
There was no arrogance on Zhang Yuan's face, just boredom.
It seems to be saying: Come out quickly and chop me to death, don’t delay me from going back to smoke.
Others regard life as nothing but trivial matter, but when it comes to Zhang Yuan, there is no such thing as trivial matter in their eyes.
After all, even a piece of grass has to be stepped on and pulled out, and even this is annoying to him.
Just like a couple who are strangers, when they are truly and completely sad, they don’t make a big fuss, but they get tired of looking at them more than once.
He grasped this feeling of indifference easily.
Master Xing nodded repeatedly in front of the monitor.
“Those who do the most outrageous things without any arrogance are the most arrogant.”
Huang Shengyi's eyes flashed at the side.
She didn't understand Zhang Yuan's performance at all, and she didn't react until Master Xing muttered to himself.
She felt disgusted when she thought that she couldn't even perform the designated eye shot well, but Zhang Yuan, who was the same age, was already able to create freely.
“Stuck!”
“It was good this time, let’s try it again.”
Star Master, like the King of Sunglasses, never has a single fault. No matter how good the actor's performance is, he will let him perform it several times and finally choose the best one.
Of course, many times, the best time is the first time.
How could the Sunglasses King be almost killed when he was filming "Ashes of Time"?
If you shoot like this day by day, the amount of film alone is astronomical.
In the end, it was Liu Zhenwei who came forward to mediate and personally intervened. He roped in the original cast of "Ashes of Time" and spent 27 days filming "The Last Day", helping the Sunglasses King to increase his budget.
In the end, the box office of "East and West" was 22 million, while "Ashes of Time" was less than 10 million.
But the result is that the king of sunglasses became a great director, Liu Zhenwei, who always helped others to save scenes and rush to work, and Wang Jing and other guys became the kings of bad movies.
Where did these great directors come from if they weren’t supported by these bad movie kings?
After taking pictures over and over again, after reaching the 11th item, Master Xing finally nodded.
“It passed.”
"Huh..." Zhang Yuan relaxed and leaned against the wall beside him with some exhaustion.
That is to say, he has a good physical condition, and most people would go into shock early after such trouble.
"You are too cruel to yourself." Seeing this, Huang Shengyi hurriedly gave him a bottle of water.
They are the same age, and they are both from mainland China, so we have a good relationship.
Ruthless?
Zhang Yuan chuckled, it depends on who he is competing with.
Christian Bale, the famous Hollywood ruthless man, lost weight to 55 kilograms when he played "The Machinist". You know, this guy is 183cm tall!
The whole thing became a skeleton.
After filming "The Machinist", he received the job of "Batman". It took him half a year to increase his weight from 55 kilograms to 100 kilograms!
The body shape changed from a skeleton to a strong orc.
The director thought he was too strong to wear the Batsuit, so he spent another two months losing weight to 85 kilograms.
That's why people gave him the nickname "Rubber Man", but he also suffered from severe gout. If he hadn't been rich and followed by coaches and doctors, he would have died long ago.
"It's not bad." Zhang Yuan nodded to express his gratitude: "It's just work."
This is his first time playing a supporting role in a big-budget movie.
That time in "Cell Phone" I couldn't call it a supporting role, it was at best a supporting role or a guest appearance.
Since it is the first time, you must show your best performance.
After all, these days there is a strict hierarchy between big and small screens, and the gap is huge. It is not easy to take a step forward.
Shuang Bing has both acted in TV series, but after becoming famous through movies, he almost never appeared on the small screen.
Only Gao Yuanyuan, who has mediocre appeal on the big screen, can jump repeatedly.
"I brought snacks, do you want to eat them?" Huang Shengyi asked softly.
“No need, I won’t be able to maintain my condition after eating it.” Zhang Yuan refused.
"The next scene will be yours, have you memorized the lines?" At this time, Mr. Xing walked up with a warm smile. He was obviously very satisfied with him, and even his voice was smiling.
When Huang Shengyi looked at the state of Master Xing and Zhang Yuan talking, and then thought about how he was scolded every day, he sighed heavily in his heart.
There is no comparison!
"Of course I remember, there are only a few words in total." Zhang Yuan smiled and showed his big yellow teeth.
Huang Shengyi on the side shook his head.
Even though his face was gray, his condition was extremely poor, and his teeth were full of rotten teeth, he still did not completely suppress Zhang Yuan's temperament.
He was handsome before.
Now he is ugly and handsome.
"Who did it?"
"I'll count three."
"3, 2, 1."
"It's just a total of eight words plus three It's a number."
Master Xing wanted to remind him of his tone and status, but looking at his "honor", he just smiled and nodded without saying anything more.
Because it's not needed.
"Get ready...ACTION!"
"Who did it?"
Zhang Yuan stood in front of the camera and turned his neck slightly.
"He designed the movements himself." Master Xing saw them all.
"Heibo lives in a state of tension and high pressure all the time. In this state, people's cervical vertebrae are most likely to have problems, so they often turn their necks..."
Master Xing knows that this detail is very accurate.
"Letter to Dad" Yu Rongguang also often turns his neck.
In "Conquest", Liu Huaqiang, played by Sun Honglei, also always turns his neck.
Because these real-life actors have discovered that this little trick will happen to everyone, whether they are gangsters or big guys.
Snap!
Zhang Yuan took out an old-fashioned kerosene lighter from his pocket, raised his finger, and lit it easily.
Then his eyelids drooped, as if he was about to yawn in the next second, and his face looked tired.
"I'll count to three."
His tone was as calm as picking chickens and ducks in the vegetable market.
"3"
"2"
"Huh..."
Before he finished counting, he smiled contemptuously and threw the lighter out.
“Stuck!”
Master Xing frowned and called him to his side.
"You performed very well in the scene just now. Why did you forget the words here and get nervous?"
"You missed a 1." Xing Ye reminded.
I made a vow just now, but as soon as the performance started, I forgot about it.
Huang Shengyi on the side snickered, and felt a lot more relaxed at the same time.
"It turns out that he can make mistakes too."
Before, she felt that she and Zhang Yuan were obviously the same age, but their acting skills and abilities were vastly different.
Now I find that the other party also forgets words, even such simple words.
It turns out that he can also make stupid mistakes!
This made her feel a lot better.
That's how people are. Mental balance often needs to be found from the people around you.
But the next second, Zhang Yuan's words broke her fantasy.
“I deliberately said less.”
He replied seriously.
"Huh?" Mr. Xing put his chin on his finger and asked doubtfully.
"I think it feels better to say one less number."
Master Xing did not answer, after hesitating for a while.
"Well, I don't care what you think, do it again and say all the lines."
"I understand."
The director is God, of course he said it Forget it.
Back in front of the camera, ready to shoot again.
“Who did it?”
“I count to three.”
“3”
“2”
"1"
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he threw the lighter out again.
“Stuck!”
Master Xing looked at the photo he just took, then dug out the previous one and watched it again.
“It seems...it felt better the last time.”
"What's your reason for missing a number?" Master Xing pulled him over and asked.
“Lazy.” Zhang Yuan replied bluntly, and the staff on the side almost laughed out loud.
“But it’s not that I’m lazy, it’s Brother Chen who is lazy.”
“These people in the Pig Cage Walled City are no different from a speck of dust to him.”
"Besides, no matter whether someone jumps out or not, according to his character, he should throw the lighter out and burn the mother and son to death."
Master Xing was stunned after hearing this, and then nodded.
This idea is not in the script, but it fits the character.
After all, Brother Chen didn’t even let women go, and he deliberately deceived the opponent before killing him, but in the end he shot the opponent away.
“Since we all have to kill, reading the numbers is just a formality. What’s the difference between one more and one less.”
“Besides, Brother Chen doesn’t take these civilians seriously, he just I want to kill them all as soon as possible so that I can go back and smoke.”
Zhang Yuan spread his hands and spoke word by word.
Hiss... Master Xing took a breath.
Indeed, with a small number, the feeling of indifference and contempt is even stronger.
If there is one less number, it would be too anxious to just count 3 and throw out the lighter.
After all, everyone in the Chen Ge Ran Ax Gang is wearing suits, so this one still has to pretend to be decent.
Master Xing looked at Zhang Yuan in surprise.
Another small detail, just like the rotten teeth before.
But this detail plays a big role in character creation.
This guy’s perception is too strong!
That’s right, the basics of performance are not just for nothing.
Huang Shengyi on the side was stunned.
Weird!
It turns out that there are so many ways to use one more word and one less word.
Fortunately, I didn’t say a word...
She looked at Zhang Yuan again, with a hint of admiration in her heart.
So cool!
Master Xing took another look at Zhang Yuan's current temperament, the way he spoke, his eyes, and even the way he walked and stood.
This guy is no good at acting.
He is clearly Brother Chen!
