Teach others what you learn, and help others when you earn.
This sentence is often said by Mr. Liu Dehua, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Of course, they did it.
When Zheng Zeshi went bankrupt, he was the one who helped pay off the debt and take over the drama.
When Zhang Weijian went bankrupt, he also helped pay off debts and invest.
The reason for both bankruptcies was the financial crisis, and they also fell out because of it.
After filming "Infernal Affairs" that year, Andy Lau, as the lead actor, had very high authority on the crew. Not only could he influence the script to a certain extent, he even had the power to influence the editing of the film.
However, he did not interfere with the script, but provided opinions on the later editing.
Don’t get me wrong, he did not use his own rights to subtract his opponent’s time to improve his status in the film.
On the contrary, he proposed to reduce some of his shots!
The reason is that the film's duration is stipulated, and he reduced his own scenes in order to leave more scenes for his younger brother Lin Jialong.
Just like when Zhao Benshan helped Pan Changjiang by reducing the duration of "Selling Kidnappings".
How else could Lin Jialong have followed him wholeheartedly for so many years, always inseparable.
As an elder brother, you should hold an umbrella for your younger brother, instead of using your younger brother as an umbrella.
However, Brother Hua is not a bad person and will help anyone.
Those who can be attracted to him are basically warriors who "dare to fight and dare to fight", and he doesn't look down on ordinary people.
Now, Zhang Yuan has caught his eye.
The next day, morning.
In the hotel where the crew stayed.
Although the crew of "A World Without Thieves" is in the Imperial Capital and Zhang Yuan also has a room in the Imperial Capital, he still stayed in the hotel with the other actors.
First, running back and forth every day is troublesome.
Secondly, the hotel provides free breakfast. I don’t have anyone to cook at home, so it’s a good thing.
The hotel has a separate restaurant for the crew. There are no outsiders, so the actors who have scenes in the morning will gather in the restaurant, and then the crew's boss will go to the set.
"Good morning."
Zhang Yuan had soy milk fried dough sticks in front of him and a piece of green onion pancake in his hand.
Then he saw Liu Tianwang smiling and putting the dinner plate on his table: "There's no one here."
"Sit down."
Yesterday, Brother Hua saw him order During the filming, I almost turned myself into a thief. I thought to myself that this guy can do it and is dedicated enough.
It gave rise to the meaning of in-depth contact.
He knows better than anyone else that the Hong Kong film industry has declined.
"Infernal Affairs" starring him is the last ray of light under this sunset.
Since he knew that the future of the film and television industry was in mainland China, he naturally wanted to make plans there as early as possible.
It’s not a bad idea to discover some outstanding newcomers and introduce some resources.
“The trick you did yesterday when changing your watch was so sharp!” Brother Hua praised with a smile.
This person has no airs, and he will not open a small stove like the little stars of later generations, and his food is very simple.
"They're all little tricks, not worth mentioning."
"Practice them specially for this film?"
"Yes." He couldn't say that he just practiced them casually.
"Wow, you worked hard then." Brother Hua became more and more curious about him: "What else have you learned?"
"Hua, Hua, Brother Hua." This stall , Bao Qiang came back with a pile of food. When he saw Liu Dehua sitting there, he started talking like before and started to grumble.
"Hello Baoqiang." Brother Hua waved to him.
"Brother, eat some eggs. I saw they were hot out of the pot."
Wang Baoqiang picked up a hard-boiled egg, placed it in front of Zhang Yuan, and immediately grabbed his earlobe. , hot.
Zhang Yuan glanced at the eggs, and then at the glass in front of Brother Hua.
Liu Dehua has the habit of drinking ice water.
"Brother Hua, let me borrow your water glass."
After that, he threw the hot eggs into the ice water.
"My water..." Brother Hua looked at him with surprised eyes.
“Didn’t you ask me what other little tricks I can do? I’ll show you another one to add to the fun.”
After saying that, Zhang Yuan counted a few numbers in his mind and added The ice water in the glass was poured onto the dinner plate along with the eggs.
He flipped his fingers and flipped the cup upside down in his hand. Then he waved his arm and passed it through the air like a dice cup, and "sucked" the egg into the cup.
Then he flicked his wrist, as if by magic.
The egg is constantly rotating in the cup, relying on just the right centrifugal force to make it "suspended" and not fall to the ground for a long time.
"What are you doing..." Brother Hua had just asked the question in his heart when he heard crisp sounds coming from the cup, like broken glass or the chirping of summer insects.
"What is this sound?"
Before he could think about it, he saw a large number of pink and white crumbs falling in pieces from the cup, like a rain of cherry blossoms, surpassing the snow in the Forbidden City.
“Egg shell?”
Brother Hua carefully looked at the crumbs on the table and then realized what he was doing.
When he raised his head again, Zhang Yuan had already stopped his hand and put the cup back upright. At the same time, he said to him.
“Brother Hua, reach out?”
In such a confused situation, people will basically do whatever others say.
Just like when you make a phone call, you get what you give.
Brother Hua obediently stretched out a palm.
Dang!
Zhang Yuan tilted the cup, and a perfect, jade-white egg slipped from the cup and fell into his palm.
Brother Hua dared not express his anger and felt the eggs in his hands.
The eggs are very hot, and his heart is even hotter!
“Isn’t this the skill of my character Wang Bo in the script?”
“I thought this was done with stunts, but it turns out a real person can do it!”< br>
He didn’t know that most of the plots of the thieves’ duel in the script came from Cao Shangfei’s descriptions.
And his description comes from the real experience of the thief king Huang Tingli.
Brother Hua was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled and stuffed the egg into his mouth, chewed it hard, and gave Zhang Yuan a thumbs up at the same time.
Baoqiang on the side was also stunned.
What’s going on with my eldest brother?
How can you play with eggs like this?
grass!
Otherwise he is the eldest brother.
His surprise gradually turned into adoration.
Actually, Liu Dehua wanted to make friends with him and get to know him better, so why didn’t he want to do the same?
Otherwise, why would you show off your skills to others?
Brother Hua is a rare actor in the entertainment industry who can be relied upon for his character. He is well-known on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in three places.
If you add his wife Zhu Liqian, she is a well-known figure throughout Asia.
Besides, one more thing is that Brother Hua once again fulfilled his mantra this year: "Teach others what you learn, and help others when you earn." He invested 12.5 million to start a company called "Asian Rising Star Guide" newcomer support program!
It’s not about attracting investment, it’s about him investing!
In other words, these more than 10 million are his own money.
Led by him, several young directors from mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and other places will be selected for special support.
Not only does he provide money, but he also helps with budgeting and promotion. What’s even more valuable is that he contributes money, but will not interfere with the filming, let alone insert actors or change the script. Everything is done by these selected directors. Host it yourself.
But looking at the whole of Asia, I'm afraid there won't be another person who would do such a "stupid thing".
He did this because he saw the market for Chinese-language films in Hong Kong shrinking from an annual box office of more than 1 billion yuan to less than 400 million yuan in more than ten years.
He wants to contribute to making the market bigger so that everyone can have work and food to eat.
At the same time, as a member of the film and television industry, he can also gain a larger market and profits, killing two birds with one stone.
What Zhang Yuan is interested in is the "Asian Rising Star Director" project.
"You are all here." At this time, Liu Ruoying, who had a single ponytail, no makeup, and a fresh face, also came to a few people.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
It took him a long time to come to his senses and said loudly: "Sit down quickly and watch him play!"
Liu Ruoying:! ! !
“Can I not watch it?” Sister Milk Tea replied somewhat tangledly.
Zhang Yuan: ...
What are you thinking!
Zhang Yuan patted Baoqiang on the shoulder: "Go and get me some more water and ice cubes." "Sister Ruoying, please sit down."
It’s okay if she doesn’t misunderstand, but if she does, it’s even more important.
He wanted ice cubes and water because the eggs were very hot and needed to be quickly cooled in ice water to allow the temperature difference between the outer shell and the inner membrane to separate naturally, making it easier to peel.
This is a skill, but also a science.
It can also be used to peel eggs at ordinary times.
Soon, after everything was ready, he came to Liu Ruoying again.
Pa, bang, bang… Sister Milk Tea looked at it and slapped her in the face.
"Why are you applauding?" Hearing the applause, You Yong, who had a generous face, also came to several people.
Ten minutes later...
Li Bingbing came to the breakfast area with sleepy eyes and yawned, only to find that all the crew members were gathered in a pile, and no one was eating at all.
"What are you doing?"
Everyone is curious, even big stars.
“Turn!”
“Turn!”
“Turn!”
This group of people not only surrounded me, but also shouted in unison.
Li Bingbing came to the outskirts of the crowd, pulled someone by the shoulder and asked.
“What are you looking at, so excited?”
“Look at Zhang Yuan playing with his own eggs.”
Three people become a tiger, and the consensus of the people will win gold!
From Zhang Yuan playing with eggs, to Zhang Yuan playing with eggs, to Zhang Yuan playing with his own eggs, it only takes three or four people to pass the message.
Li Bingbing:! ! !
After hearing this, Ms. Li took two steps back with a stiff expression.
Then a death charge squeezed into the crowd!
She is gathering strength.
A fierce man plunged into the crowd, sticking his head out excitedly.
"Where are you?"
"Where are you playing?"
Crash...
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Zhang Yuan raised his hand high and shook the glass with a ferocious expression.
Bo!
A few seconds later, a white and tender egg fell into his hands.
A staff member excitedly took the egg and stuffed it into his mouth immediately.
“Hey, this is the egg we are playing with.” Li Bingbing said with a disappointed face.
As soon as that person finished eating, the rest of the people around him shouted in unison.
"Come one!"
"Come one!"
"Come one!"
Zhang Yuan's hand holding the glass was shaking.
Good guy!
You are treating me like a beast!
In just a short time, I have peeled more than 20 eggs, and I’m still coming!
"What a sin!"
......
When we arrived at the set, we happened to be filming this scene.
Director Feng and Jiang Daohai knew what happened that morning and wanted him to do it again.
"Director Feng, my hand is useless."
"What's going on?"
"Ask them!" Zhang Yuan pointed at the staff present angrily. Everyone turned their heads away.
Seeing his arms hanging listlessly, Director Feng also scratched his head: "Okay, I'll finish the close-up in a few days."
"First shoot the medium shots and other scenes."
Brother Hua performed particularly well this time.
Because the content was originally the first confrontation between him and Uncle Li.
Wang Bo used a cup to peel the eggs, while Uncle Li used his nails to peel the eggs, and the eggs he peeled were still raw.
With Zhang Yuan's performance in the morning, Brother Hua didn't even need to think, he just imitated his movements and made the scene look extremely real.
[Received thanks from Liu Dehua, +1 for singing skills, +1 for anti-aging! 】
"Zhang Yuan, can you come to the one who holds the raw egg with your nails?" After taking a shot, Director Feng came to him again.
"Director Feng, I can't do this job alone." Zhang Yuan looked at him with disgust, really treating me as a god.
Don’t talk about me, even if Huang Tingli climbed out of the grave, he wouldn’t be able to come.
Uncle Li's move was obviously imagined by the screenwriter, and it already has a supernatural meaning.
Not to mention peeling it off with fingernails, even if you use tweezers to pick it off a little bit, there is a certain chance of failure.
Director Feng shook his head in disappointment and continued back to filming.
Bang!
In front of the camera, a translucent shelled raw egg was placed into the beer by Ge You.
The crew tried this one action eight times, and several times the eggs broke as soon as they were put into Uncle Ge's hands.
So despite the fact that there are not many lines in this scene, everyone is extremely nervous.
But when filming, you need to relax, because when you are nervous, you will easily make mistakes.
“You brat, you’ve seen it clearly.” Li Bingbing said the line in a sultry voice: “What Uncle Li peeled off was his own egg!”
After Lao Li said the line, he was also like this After seeing the only line in the scene, I was immediately stunned.
Uncle Li peeled raw eggs... This is the correct line.
She said it wrong!
I blame those people in the morning for saying that Zhang Yuan was playing with his own balls, which made me think so... Li Bingbing cursed in her heart.
She scolded others and herself in her heart.
Finally the egg didn't break this time, but she said it wrong.
Looking at the director, Feng Xiaogang was fine, but the camera director Zhang Li on the side had already twitched his lips.
Li Bingbing feels bad, this person is going to curse!
But at this moment, a voice came.
"Peel your own eggs." Zhang Yuan received from outside the camera: "How painful it is!"
After the audience was quiet for a few seconds, the audience burst into laughter.
Pfft hahaha!
Hoo ho ho!
Hehehe...
Zhang Li, who had already begun to curse, knocked down the fill light beside him.
Brother Hua laughed and punched the table with his fist.
Shuang Bing was not ashamed of the old woman. Li Bingbing also waved her hands and laughed, not caring at all about such a dirty joke.
"Guoli is right, you are a cross talk material." Director Feng grinned and patted his shoulder.
After about ten minutes, the laughter gradually stopped.
Director Feng held his stomach and waved his hand: "Forget it, get another egg and shoot again."
"Bingbing, don't say the wrong words again."
< br>"Hey." Li Bingbing nodded quickly.
Then he looked at Zhang Yuan aside.
Zhang Yuan smiled at her and raised his chin.
Li Bingbing then reacted.
“He just helped me out on purpose!”
Old Li also nodded to him immediately.
