Chapter 156 That should have been mine!

A few days later, the crew.

"Everything I have today is given to me by you."

"So everyone must die...including you!"

In front of the camera, Zhang Yuan stood in front of Xiaoqian with red eyes and unspeakable sadness.

Swish!
He raised his hand and stabbed Xu Xiyuan's body with a sword...

Of course, it was not a real piercing, it was just a trick shot, with the sword passing through the side of the opponent's skirt.

"Brother Qiye, I really tried to love you."

Our Shancai Xiaoqian raised her hand and stroked Zhang Yuan's cheek, her eyes full of affection.

This action doesn’t seem to be in the script... Zhang Yuan thought to himself.

Ever since he tried to get Xu Xiyuan to agree to change the script by saying that he changed the script just to have more scenes with her, he has been making physical advances during filming.

But Zhang Yuan had nothing to say.

On the one hand, during the filming process, especially between men and women, they are too immersed in the role and their true feelings are easily revealed.

On the other hand, according to the revised script, Qiye and Xiaoqian are the real lovers who have been enemies for seven lifetimes. They are a pair, and Xu Xiyuan's deep affection for him just fits the character.

Never mind, just touch it a few times, as long as you don’t touch it a few times.

Just like when filming "Man of Steel", Amy Adams, who played Lois, often subconsciously touched Henry Cavill, who played Superman, during the filming process, especially his chest muscles and abdominal muscles.

This is also very normal abroad.

Don’t think that only men are lustful. In fact, many women are also lustful.

It’s just that men who touch women are more likely to be sued, while women who touch men are mostly seen as a kind of “honor,” which is unfair.

"You see, under Zhang Yuan's leadership, Xiyuan is more engaged than before." Chen Shisan said softly.

"Indeed, the performance was better than when I worked with Xiaodong, especially the emotional scenes."

"He has to be dedicated enough to motivate others to get involved, but... I'm afraid he'll be too dedicated and cause trouble." Li Huizhu glanced at Zhang Yuan.

He is healthy and good-looking, and he looks more heroic after dressing up. It is normal that girls like him.

"Haha, no, he's a smart man." Chen Shisan certainly understood Li Huizhu's concerns. She was afraid that Zhang Yuan would turn his fake play into reality and attack Xu Xiyuan.

Although in name, Xu Xiyuan is Yang Dengkui's "goddaughter".

But these three words have a meaning.

Goddaughter, goddaughter, that’s the first tone when there’s something going on, and the fourth tone when there’s nothing going on.

If we really get entangled with Xiaoqian and Lao Deng gets angry, no one will suffer.

"You see, the Yinyue Queen Zhu Yan has been very close to Zhang Yuan since the night her hair got tangled."

"If he wanted to, they would have gone to bed long ago."

"But Ma Yuchen was also interested in Zhu Yan. That kid knew that and kept his distance on purpose."

"So don't be fooled by his outward appearance of flirting with cats and dogs. In fact, he has a lot of judgment in his heart."

Chen Shisan agreed with Zhang Yuan on this point and thought he was a man of good character.

"Yes, he always makes the best choice." Li Huizhu also nodded in agreement.

"Kah! Change your look."

After the scene ended, Zhang Yuan was taken to the makeup artist, who took off the black wig that he wore as "Chen Haonan" and replaced it with the same long silver hair that he wore as "The White-Haired Witch".

The hat he took off was cleaned a little and then sent to Nie Yuan.

There is no way, the crew is very stingy, this kind of wig used in film and television is very expensive, and they are reluctant to prepare a few more.

While Zhang Yuan was taking a break from putting on makeup, Nie Yuan changed the angle of the same scene and filmed his own scenes.

The role he plays is Wu Jing's father Zhuge Qingtian, the unfaithful husband of Lan Mo, the most beautiful woman in the Demon Palace.

After changing into the costume and putting on the headgear, Nie Yuan stood steadily in front of the camera, with a calm and elegant temperament and extraordinary bearing.

"He's not bad either," Li Huizhu commented.

After filming a scene, Li Huizhu and Chen Shisan nodded frequently.

In terms of acting skills and temperament alone, Nie Yuan is indeed a leader among his peers in the TV drama circle.

The two directors were quite satisfied, thinking that if they missed this opportunity, they could still work with him next time there was a play.

Nie Yuan noticed the expressions of both of them.

He just tried his best to show himself.

Seeing the two directors nodding from time to time with appreciation, he felt much happier.

How could I be worse than that guy with no professional background?

But he was happy for a short while, because the eight eyes of the two directors who were originally looking at him... both of them were wearing glasses, all looked away.

At the same time, a brighter light burst out from his eyes.

Zhang Yuan, dressed like a demon, is here!

He has beautiful silver hair, wears black leather armor, and has a red cloak on his shoulders. An evil and sinister aura slowly comes from him.

His face was stern, his eyebrows were sharp, and just standing there, without saying a word, he had the surging and domineering aura of a final boss.

"Hey, that's right!" Chen Shisan clapped his hands, "It coincides with the image of the Demon Lord in my mind."

"Hehehe, this guy is still better."

"Compared with him, Nie Yuan's image is still a bit weaker." Li Huizhu blurted out, then looked at Nie Yuan not far away, and quickly cleared her throat awkwardly.

Nie Yuan still had a smile on his face and pretended he heard nothing.

The constant crunching sound coming from his mouth betrayed him.

That was the sharp friction sound made when the back molars were clenched.

It would be fine if my good friend Shen Xiaohai said so, but even the director said so!

He turned to look at Zhang Yuan, who was dressed as a demon lord and was trying to build up his emotions, and said to himself.

“That should have been my look!”

Nie Yuan's forehead was bulging with veins, his eyes were red, he was breathing out of his nose, and he snorted coldly.

After changing to silver hair, Zhang Yuan has few lines, and mostly does posing and fighting scenes.

After all, it is much more tiring than acting in a love scene.

They had just finished work and were discussing tomorrow's scenes with the director and other actors. At this moment, Yuan Hua, who was walking and chatting with his phone to his ear, stood in front of everyone.

"Okay."

"Okay, I got it."

Putting down his phone, the veteran actor smiled and greeted Li Huizhu.

"Director, I have something to do. Can I take a day off?" Yuan Hua looked as friendly as usual, with a playful smile on his face.

"What's wrong?" Li Huizhu still respected this veteran actor and asked quickly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

“No, I have a new movie and I’ll have an audition tomorrow.” Yuan Hua showed an embarrassed expression: “It only takes one day, hehehe…”

After saying that, he began to laugh in a harmless and naive manner.

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Director Li and Chen Shisan looked at each other.

"Okay, let's adjust the shooting plan."

We are all friends, we can’t block someone’s path to wealth.

Yuan Hua smiled and thanked him, then pointed at Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing and said again: "If possible, can I ask for leave for both of them?"

"them?"

"I want to take them with me."

"What kind of movie is this? It's so important?" Li Huizhu was unhappy at the time.

Three people left at once, all of them were the protagonists, which had a great impact on the filming.

"Xing Ye's new movie, please be flexible."

When Director Li heard about Stephen Chow's second son, the anger that had just risen in his heart completely dissipated.

His new movie, that's fine.

Li Huizhu knew that if she were an actor, she would also be eager to watch Stephen Chow's movies, let alone Yuen Hua.

That's a great opportunity to become famous!

Besides, this is a TV series and theirs is a movie, there is a huge difference in level.

Director Li looked at Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing again and sighed.

As the saying goes, "A righteous man has many supporters, while an unrighteous man has few." These two young people in the crew are indeed the hardest-working and best-performing. If they hadn't worked hard in the past, Yuan Hua wouldn't have taken special care of them, and this opportunity wouldn't have fallen on them.

Zhang Yuan was quite surprised. He didn't expect Old Yuan to be so sensible!
"According to this time, Stephen Chow made Shaolin Soccer in 01, which was his first attempt at a kung fu film."

"Then there will only be one film being shot at this time."

""effort"!"

Li Huizhu turned around and said a few words to Chen Shisan, then nodded slightly to show her agreement.

The other actors looked at Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing with envy.

Why don't we have this opportunity!

Even Shen Xiaohai, who usually had a good attitude, felt jealous.

Not to mention formal participation, even the opportunity to audition is hard to come by, and he couldn't find one even if he wanted it.

"Landlord, oh no, Uncle Yuan, thank you so much. I'll help you massage your shoulders later." Zhang Yuan quickly turned around to thank him.

He has put in a lot of effort over the past year, but has ended up struggling in the TV drama circle.

But Yuan Hua brought him into the film industry with just one sentence.

It is true that you need to rely on friends when you go out.

Wu Jing was also stunned for a long time. Only when he saw Zhang Yuan thanking him did he react and hurriedly followed.

Amid the envious gazes of everyone, the two of them went back to the hotel with Yuan Hua to rest.

"Uh……"

As soon as the three of them left, a low muffled sound was heard from the crowd of actors.

"Hey, someone fell down."

"Quick, medic, get the medic here."

Who is this person who fell?

Nie Yuan.

More than ten minutes later, the medical staff removed the stethoscope from Nie Yuan's chest and tied the blood pressure monitor strap to Nie Yuan's arm.

Huchi Huchi Huchi...

The medical staff squeezed the rubber ball and watched the mercury in the meter rise and fall.

"Wow!" A minute later, the medical staff exclaimed.

"120 below, 190 above. If I cut a hole in my wrist, I can use you as a fire truck."

They gave him some blood pressure medication and told him to rest more. When the medical staff saw that his condition was gradually stabilizing, they packed up and left.

"What's wrong with you? I've never heard that you have high blood pressure before." Shen Xiaohai supported his friend and walked towards the hotel.

"I...it's okay."

Nie Yuan felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

He is not sick, he has a mental illness.

Just now, when he heard that Yuan Hua was going to take Zhang Yuan to Stephen Chow's crew for an audition, his blood pressure suddenly soared to the sky!

"This should have been my chance!"

He shouted in his heart.

He felt that he had suffered a huge loss.

What I lost was not only a role, but also an opportunity to meet Stephen Chow.

Just one step away!

It’s just this one step, just over a month’s time.

He discovered that the "unknown" junior whom he met during the audition for "A Chinese Ghost Story" had actually taken great strides forward and was far ahead of him.

Shen Xiaohai observed for a long time and understood.

"Actually, if you don't compare yourself to him, you're pretty good."

Teng!
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but this piece of advice made Nie Yuan's blood pressure, which had just dropped, soar to the peak again.

His feet went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

On the second day, while Nie Yuan was taking large amounts of blood pressure medication, Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing, led by Yuan Hua, went to Hong Kong.

Zhang Yuan knew what kind of crew he was about to face, so he also knew why Yuan Hua brought him along.

Because he and Wu Jing both know kung fu!

No matter how good Nie Yuan is, Yuan Hua will not take him with him because he has no foundation in martial arts.

After getting off the plane, we walked into a building.

At the moment, the crew is still in the early preparation stage and the team hasn’t even been assembled yet, only a few participants have been confirmed.

What is certain about these few people is that the lower limit of this film is at least three or four stories high.

Screenwriter + Producer: Bodhi Patriarch Liu Zhenwei.

Chief Cameraman: Pan Hengsheng, a Hong Kong cameraman who has shot films like “A Chinese Ghost Story”, “A Chinese Ghost Story” (movie version), “Ruan Lingyu”, “The Bund” and “Who Am I”.

As for the martial arts director, Sammo Hung, the leader of the Seven Little Fortunes, was also invited to join the cast.

If these guys get together, even if they mess around, the stuff won't be that bad.

For the previous film "Shaolin Soccer", although we sought cooperation from a mainland company, the main investors were all Hong Kong companies.

But after the film was completed, it needed to be reviewed in mainland China, but the investors were in a hurry and wanted to get their money back as soon as possible.

In desperation, Stephen Chow chose to release the film in Hong Kong first.

However, according to the explicit regulations of the Radio, Film and Television Administration, Hong Kong films co-produced with mainland film and television companies must pass review before they can be released.

This action of Master Xing is a big taboo!
"Shaolin Soccer" was directly banned, and the film's revenue was lost by at least 30% to 50%.

As the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. In this film, Stephen Chow has become more cautious and has learned his lesson.

Before the filming started, Huayi Brothers and China Film Group were directly found to guarantee the film, and the Wang brothers and Han Sanpin were responsible for production and production respectively.

Han Sanpin even brought in Yang Buting, a big shot from the Radio, Film and Television Administration Department, to be the producer, further adding to the film's success.

Many years later, it was this Mr. Yang who took over Lao Han's position, swept him aside and became the chairman of China Film.

With these companies' support, Stephen Chow feels that his position in the mainland market should be completely stable.

He then contacted Columbia Pictures and Lighthouse producer Bill Burton, who had produced Hollywood blockbusters such as "High School Musical" and "Mission Impossible", to handle the overseas distribution of the film.

In this way, before filming began, Stephen Chow had already opened up all the channels, and only then did he settle down to start creating.

What is an international superstar... tactical fade away.

The movie didn't even have a single hair, but it was able to attract a bunch of bigwigs to support it, all thanks to the golden signboard of the three big words "Stephen Chow".

"Senior Brother!" Arriving at an office, Yuan Hua greeted a bloated and fat figure from a distance.

Although the other person is fat, his reaction is extremely quick.

As soon as she heard the figure, she twisted her bucket-like waist and turned around.

"Junior brothers are here... who are these two?"

This senior brother is, of course, the film’s martial arts director, Sammo Hung.

Seeing that there were two people following Yuan Hua, he asked.

But before Yuan Hua could answer, this person walked up to him with a smile and said, "It's Jingzi."

Wu Jingzai is considered a popular young actor in both Mainland China and Hong Kong, so naturally Sammo Hung recognizes him.

Besides, they had co-starred in "The Legend of Zu" before. Although the two did not have much rivalry, they still had some cooperation.

"This is Zhang Yuan. They are both in the same crew as me, filming a movie."

“They performed well and they all know Kung Fu,” Yuan Hua introduced.

"Really? Come on then."

Hong Jinbao smiled and waved at the two of them, as if to lead them inside.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan discovered that Yuan Hua, who had been walking in front of them, suddenly stepped aside.

"Something's wrong."

He suddenly felt something was wrong and was about to step back, but he noticed from the corner of his eye that Hong Jinbao, who was smiling in front of them, suddenly changed his expression!

The rebelliousness between his brows suddenly surged up.

Not only that!

Only two "woooo" sounds were heard, and this "Double Dragons Coming Out of the Sea" threw out both his left and right fists at the same time.

It rushed towards the two people's faces...
