Chapter 285: Stealing the show
On the set.
After watching Zhang Yuan playing with coins, Director Feng looked at You Yong whose fingers looked as if they were covered in starch and looked old-fashioned, and he sighed in his heart.
"Yongzi is very professional, but not suitable."
"Indeed, the old NG is not the same thing."
"How about changing?"
So Director Feng raised his head and waved.
“Yongzi, come here.”
After calling for You Yong, when he stood still, Director Feng winked at Zhang Yuan.
“Come.”
Zhang Yuan then repeated the routine he had performed for Feng Xiaogang.
You Yong slapped him in the face after reading it.
Okay, great!
It turns out we have a master here!
If I had known better, I would have let him teach me. Why am I still practicing by myself for a long time?
"Xiao Gang, what do you mean, let me practice with him for a while before filming?" You Yong raised his eyes and asked.
Director Feng glanced at Zhang Yuan and then laughed loudly.
Every time this guy encounters trouble, he covers it up with laughter.
“No, no, no, it’s too late to learn now.”
“So what I mean is, switch with him.”
"Change?" You Yong raised an eyebrow and asked doubtfully.
“Yes, give him this detailed action, you can relax.”
Buzz!
Hearing this, a white line flashed in You Yong's head, like an electric shock.
He was an old actor and he reacted instantly.
"I'm being robbed!"
It's just a small action of playing with coins, but it's a long shot, a medium shot, a close shot, plus a close-up of the hand.
The total footage of this little action may last ten seconds or even fifteen seconds.
It sounds very short, but this is a movie, not a TV series, and every second counts.
You Yong immediately showed a displeased look.
And what about Zhang Yuan?
Of course he wants to add more drama to himself!
Originally, there are not many shots of the character Four Eyes. It only takes more than ten minutes in total, half of which are group portraits.
Just like in an audition, show off as much as possible so that your trip is not in vain.
"We should follow the script." You Yong said with some dissatisfaction on his dark face with Chinese characters.
How many years have I known you and how long has this kid known you? How come his elbows are turned outward?
Besides, it doesn’t mean that I am a failure. I can’t even do the small trick of playing with coins. It’s embarrassing.
Although Ge You and Li Bingbing were sitting on the same spot, their ears were bent.
Li Bingbing blinked at Ge You, who shook his head slightly.
"It's not easy to handle." Uncle Ge thought so.
You Yong has a tough temper and is not easy to talk to.
Zhang Yuan understood the situation in his heart. After calming down, he spoke slowly.
"Teacher You Yong, it's like this. Director Feng intends to give this move to me, not because I am better at this little trick."
Zhang Yuan deliberately gave this senior Taking a step back and turning this into a "little trick" can be regarded as giving the other party a step up.
After hearing what he said, You Yong felt a little calmer and his expression relaxed slightly.
But he took a step back, not to grovel, but to take a step back to make progress.
“The reason for this change is that the characters and plot require it.”
Zhang Yuan looked at Director Feng: “Director, are you right?”
“Yes. ...," Feng Xiaogang replied hesitantly, while looking back at Zhang Yuan, wondering what he was going to say.
"Teacher You Yong, the fat man you play is the second in command of our gang."
"And the Four Eyes I play is your little brother."
"And according to the setting, it won't be too long since both Sister Bingbing and I have entered the industry, right."
>"Yeah, what next?" You Yong asked, somewhat impatiently.
"You are the eldest brother, and I am the younger brother."
"Playing with coins is a little trick, first of all, because it is boring, but to exercise the flexibility of the fingers."
"As the eldest brother, you play with coins. Firstly, you appear unstable. Secondly, your role is an old thief with mature skills. Why do you need to practice with coins."
"My role is different."< br>
"The original setting is that he is a stupid young man, impatient, mentally immature, and his skills need to be refined."
"This point from the script, the four eyes are eager to make meritorious deeds, and it is not Hua The opponent of Wang Bo, played by me, can tell.”
Hearing this, You Yong’s expression froze slightly, and then he fell silent.
He is not afraid that the other party will steal the show and use forceful reasoning, because he can explain it himself.
The scary thing is that everything the other party says makes sense!
Characters...
Teacher You Yong followed Zhang Yuan's logic and felt that the small detail of playing with coins was obviously more reasonable to focus on the four-eyed head.
If you put it on yourself, it does seem a bit frivolous.
In all walks of life, those who are as still as a mountain and calm as usual have the temperament of a boss.
The same goes for Monkey Sun who followed Pantaoyuan. He was jumping up and down, so he definitely needed to show off his little tricks.
Ouch... You Yong chewed his teeth and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't refute it at all.
"Xiaogang, that's what you mean. You should have said it earlier."
Director Feng glanced at Zhang Yuan, who had just reacted and hurriedly replied.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes..."
Director Feng glanced at Zhang Yuan, thinking that he was indeed a fool!
As the saying goes, it makes people speak with two skins, but it’s all true anyway.
This kid touched his upper and lower lips and was stunned to hear that he was dead or alive.
With this ability alone, he can stand out in any circle he goes to.
"Yongzi, you understand."
"I understand." You Yong nodded helplessly.
What people say makes sense, that is not stealing the scene, but adjusting the scene, which is completely different in nature.
The two returned to the camera and returned to their positions again.
Teacher Ge You glanced at them silently and thought to himself.
Zhang Yuan is very exciting to be able to subdue Yongzi's stubborn donkey.
On the other hand, Li Bingbing's eyes flashed,
She knew from the beginning that Zhang Yuan and Fan Bingbing had a good relationship.
It turns out that she thought that with Zhang Yuan's appearance, he would probably have an affair with Old Fan, so Mr. Fan recommended this young actor to Sister Hua.
Actors are human beings too, especially Chinese people. When you meet a man and a woman who have a close relationship, your first reaction is that they must have fallen asleep.
This was also one of the few times when Zhang Yuan was misunderstood.
He and Fan Bingbing never got tired of each other.
Now that Li Bingbing saw Zhang Yuan take down You Yong alive, her thoughts changed.
You Yong is a senior, so she has to be polite and talk nicely. Although both of their managers are Hua Jie, and she is obviously more popular, she still has to give face.
If she encounters a problem, even if the other party ignores it, she has to be a little tolerant.
But now Zhang Yuan's move really stunned her.
After adding more scenes, the other party still lost his temper.
"I see, this is the reason why Fan Hui fell in love with him and won over him."
Everyone knows that Mr. Fan is a careerist in the entertainment industry.
Isn’t that the other Bingbing who has been fighting with her for many years? Especially at this juncture where outsiders don't know, but both Shuang Bing know, the conflict between Hua Yi and Sister Hua has been undercurrent.
After thinking for a moment, Li Bingbing understood her opponent’s intention.
At this time, Zhang Yuan took the coin from the helpless teacher You Yong, raised his head, and saw Li Bingbing smiling at him and nodding gently.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Weird... Zhang Yuan thought.
He always felt that the way Lao Li looked at him was a little different from before.
The camera opened again, and this time with Zhang Yuan playing, it went much smoother.
“Four Eyes is getting old too, why don’t you talk about him?”
“I’m stepping on your tail!”
"Stuck!" Director Feng smiled and waved his hand: "That's it."
"Change the angle to shoot."
Director Feng said that after Zhang Yuan came, the shooting became much smoother.
If I had known, I would have let him come, how much trouble would have been saved.
【Received a thank you from Feng Xiaogang, +1 for my observation! 】
After changing the angle and shooting a few more times, the shot passed.
Zhang Yuan, who had just finished working on the set of "Kung Fu", was even a little uncomfortable because he was too relaxed.
"This scene will be between you and Yuko."
"The key is skill, understand?"
Before the next scene begins, Director Feng narrated the drama for the two of them.
You Yong and Li Bingbing were not in the camera, so they went to rest.
At this moment, Liu Ruoying and Liu Dehua had also completed their roles in the other group and were running over to join in the fun.
"Hua Zai, you have to watch out later." Wu Zhijiang Daohai came to Hua Ge's side and whispered.
“What’s wrong?”
“You’ll know after reading this.”
The content of this scene was not in the original script.
This scene only happened after Zhang Yuan recommended Cao Shangfei to Feng Xiaogang as a consultant.
What play is it?
Change your watch!
Once upon a time, Huang Tingli, the thief king of Guangdong Province, gathered in the magic city to compete. He relied on this trick of "stealing the sky and changing the day" to steal the opponent's watch, so that he could convince his opponent and accept the defeat.
Director Feng was very excited after hearing this little story.
This style is too high!
Can you steal each other's watch face to face?
He thought at that time that it must be added to the film.
It is used to show the superb abilities of the character Uncle Li based on Huang Tingli!
He originally planned to use special effects to do this part, until... during the audition, he saw Zhang Yuan "replace" Xiao Wang's watch on his arm.
“Come on, get ready.” Director Feng called.
"A World Without Thieves, scene 13, third shot, first time, ACTION!"
"Uncle Li, if anything happens in the future, I will try my best!" Zhang Yuanlai When he came to Uncle Li's side, he leaned sideways and lowered his head slightly while leaning forward.
It means closeness and surrender, and the tone is extremely firm and sincere.
"I hope you will make further progress in your future work." Ge You also turned sideways and gently raised his arm, making a handshake.
The two of them held their palms together and then shook them vigorously.
At this time, Wu Zhijiang Daohai shouted in Hua Ge's ear.
"That's it now, look carefully!"
I heard a crisp click, and an afterimage dazzled my eyes, and quickly moved from Ge You's arm, following the two people's handshakes. The connected arms slid towards Zhang Yuan's wrist.
"Wow, a gold watch!" Zhang Yuan lifted the cuffs of his coat, a metal watch strap appeared, and a golden Rolex appeared on his wrist.
Under the bright lights of the scene, those who flashed could not open their eyes.
“Wow!” Brother Hua exclaimed.
Under the instructions of Director Jiang, he stared at the wrists of the two men and saw the whole process just now.
“Teacher Ge You is so powerful, is he playing a thief, or is he really a thief?”
At this time, Brother Hua cooperated with teacher Ge You for the first time.
I have heard that there are several masters in the entertainment industry in mainland China, but I never expected that they could achieve such success.
"That's wrong." Jiang Daohai shook his head: "It's not Teacher Ge You, it's Zhang Yuan."
"He?"
"Although this action was done by Uncle Li Give the watch to Siyan, but if you look carefully at the movements, it is actually Zhang Yuan who is leading Ge You’s hand to exert force.”
Brother Hua frowned and looked at the two people again hesitantly.
"Do it again, Yu, relax."
Just under the command of Director Feng, the two of them were about to be reassigned.
Brother Hua looked more carefully this time, squinting his eyes and staring closely at the palms of the two people.
Whoosh!
I saw Uncle Ge's palm shaking hard and pushing forward at the same time. Then, a watch slid towards Zhang Yuan's wrist.
“Oh!”
But this time Brother Hua saw it clearly.
It is indeed Zhang Yuanfa’s strength!
Because the shot just now only captured the palms of the two people.
But outside the camera, Ge You's arm was almost motionless, while Zhang Yuan's arm was clearly shaking and exerting force.
So, although Uncle Li is giving a watch to Siyan in the shot, the actual situation is exactly the opposite.
“He is so powerful!” Brother Hua turned to look at Jiang Daohai.
"Well, that is, when making a movie and taking care of the camera, he also deliberately slowed down the speed."
"Hey..." Brother Hua listened, lowered his head and thought about it, and then Lift your head quickly.
"How do you know he will be faster?"
Jiang Daohai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“Because he used this trick to conquer Mr. Wang of Huayi during the audition.”
“I watched it twice at the time, but I didn’t see it clearly.”
“Even the first time I didn’t know he did it.”
Brother Hua was silent. He knew Jiang Daohai's abilities. The two had collaborated as early as in "God of Gamblers".
“I didn’t even see you clearly!”
“I estimate that he must have found some master to specially train this skill.” Jiang Daohai felt Zhang Yuan was scary: “For When filming a scene, he became a thief better than ordinary thieves."
That's right.
The movie is designed based on Huang Tingli’s real tricks.
And this move he learned from Cao Shangfei was Huang Tingli's direct kung fu.
Not to mention ordinary, ordinary thieves will not be able to do this.
Brother Hua thought to himself that he also made a lot of preparations before filming this movie.
We even hired "experts" to practice the art of stealing.
The reason why he attaches so much importance to it is because this year is the first year for him to completely "go north" and enter the mainland film market!
Before this, he was very popular and well-known in mainland China, and all his works were shot in Xiangjiang.
Now that he saw the potential of the mainland film and television industry, he came up with a set of combination punches.
This year, in addition to "A World Without Thieves", there is another mainland-produced movie to be released called "House of Flying Daggers".
As soon as I came to the mainland, Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang were waiting for me with two top directors. What are the Four Heavenly Kings?
“I didn’t expect a junior to have a more serious work attitude than me.” Brother Hua was surprised and gradually smiled.
"I understand!" Brother Hua reacted at this time.
“No wonder Jiadong was not selected.”
“With him here, Jiadong really has no chance at all.”
