"ACTION!"

In the same scene, after Zhang Yuan and Stephen Chow argued for a long time, they reached a new consensus on the character of Brother Chen.

This is a crazy gangster who has killed people without a trace and has drug addiction that has damaged his brain.

Master Xing smiled and nodded repeatedly, looking at Zhang Yuan with admiration from time to time.

Just by adding this small setting, all the logic of the character becomes smooth and all the behaviors become reasonable.

But at the same time, this character can no longer perform as before.

The fat guy Lin Xue once again squeezed his body into the big bamboo frame that was full of garbage and smelled terrible.

Zhang Yuan came in front of the camera again.

But this time, he did not show a ferocious look like last time.

The temperament is also very different from the previous time.

His shoulders were tilted, his eyelids were half drooped, and his lips were slightly open, as if he had been playing computer games all night and was still sleepy.

When he came to the trash can and saw Lin Xue, he slowly opened his eyes and leaned forward.

Star Master on the side was staring at the monitor.

"In addition to caution, there seems to be a hint of... fear in his movement of leaning forward?"

Zhang Yuan leaned his waist slightly forward and backward, then relaxed his body and tilted his neck, which was already crooked due to his crooked shoulders, slightly.

I learned this crooked shoulder look from Mr. Zhang Wenshun from Guangde Building.

So, art should come from life, just like why Uncle Benshan is so good at imitating a blind man and it is so lifelike?
Because in his early years he followed his blind second uncle Zhao Deming from door to door, playing the erhu to make a living. There were blind people around him every day, so he could naturally learn.

Zhang Yuan took a close look at the trash can, his brows did not tighten, but instead relaxed slightly.

At the same time, one corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and his lips and shoulders were tilted in the opposite direction, presenting a strangely harmonious composition in front of the camera.

"Ah."

He chuckled, and the evil in that smile seemed to be able to penetrate the camera and hit Stephen Chow's heart directly.

Disdain, indifference, cruelty.

He doesn't care about the life or death of his subordinates, even if he is an old brother who has followed him for many years.

To him, these people are just tools for him to gain power.

If you die, you die. It’s no big deal.

But after chuckling, his eyes fixed again, revealing a stern look.

It doesn’t matter that my younger brother is dead.

Losing your own face is very important.

"Card!"

Master Xing waved his hand and called him to the monitor again.

"it is good!"

After watching it once, Mr. Xing asked, "I noticed that you looked a little scared and cautious in your actions just now?"

"Yes, because my understanding of this character is that he is already insane and cannot distinguish between reality and hallucination."

"So he's very scared and a character who looks strong on the outside but is actually weak on the inside."

"Strong on the outside but weak on the inside...Okay." Stephen Chow nodded. According to his statement and logic, the performance in the previous shot was basically accurate.

And Stephen Chow also discovered that after the design changes, the image of the gangster Brother Chen became obviously more brutal.

This kid grasped that kind of silent indifference and cruel smile that didn't take human life seriously very well.

Zhang Yuan knew very well that the character of Brother Chen was the exact opposite of Liu Huaqiang.

One has to collect, the other has to release.

Venomous snakes are always waiting for an opportunity, slowly spitting out their tongues and slowly staring at their prey.

So the slower and steadier it is, the more terrifying this character will be.

“This feels about right, but I still need to look for more details.”

Master Stephen Chow is a director who pays great attention to details. It is no exaggeration to say that his details are weird.

Therefore, there is no actor who has not complained about his films. Who can stand shooting one scene dozens of times?

Of course, there is the even more ruthless King of Sunglasses.

Stephen Chow only makes the actors want to curse during filming, while King of Sunglasses makes all the actors he has worked with suffer mental breakdowns.

After filming 2046, Takuya Kimura never dared to come to China to film again.

Carina Lau was photographed hiding in her room and crying every day.

Under his direction, Zhang Zhen was transformed from a sunny boy into a gloomy uncle.

There is only one exception, Wang Fei.

To deal with the King of Sunglasses, you have to rely on Sister Fei.

Just shoot it. I've been paid anyway, so I'll shoot as many times as you ask me to. It's none of my business if the budget is overspent.

Just make time for me to play mahjong in the evening.

The reason she was able to survive under the control of the King of Sunglasses was because of her good attitude. She never treated filming as a job but just as fun.

Master Xing wanted to have a deeper chat with Zhang Yuan about Ren Ne Wu, but was interrupted by him again.

“I think there’s still a problem.”

The other actors are already numb.

I was surprised before that this young man dared to confront Stephen Chow.

But they just said it, and nothing happened.

Not only was there no problem at all, but he also got the approval of Stephen Chow. The filming effect was also obvious to all. These veteran actors could see that after Zhang Yuan's adjustments, the character's characteristics were significantly strengthened.

If what others say makes sense, I will naturally speak up.

In fact, there is one more point that these people didn’t expect.

Zhang Yuan was brought in temporarily by Stephen Chow. Before he came, all of Sammo Hung's people had been driven away.

Then, the more outstanding Zhang Yuan is and the better his performance is, the more we can say that Mingxing’s approach of “sending away” Big Brother was correct.

He gave Zhang Yuan the opportunity to speak for the sake of his own prestige.

"What's wrong again?" So, after he repeatedly asked the question, Stephen Chow still asked politely.

"The character's temperament is not right." Zhang Yuan replied: "I look fair, tender, and healthy. I don't look like a poisonous dog."

“Too strong.”

Master Xing chuckled, it turned out that he was talking about himself.

"Yes, how about asking the makeup artist to touch up your sickly look."

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "Makeup can change a person's appearance, but it can't change a person's temperament."

What's his current state?
If we use storyteller's words to describe it, his temples are bulging, his cheeks are bulging, and the muscles in his arms are bulging!
He practices martial arts!

That spirit and energy is something that ordinary people cannot compare to.

The nickname Cheng Hao gave him was Sai Lao Ai, do you think this is false?
"Master Xing, can you give me three days?"

"Three days, you want to take a leave?" Stephen Chow was shocked, you just came today!
"I'm not asking for leave. I want to adjust my physical condition. Please don't take close-up photos for now. Is that okay?"

Given Stephen Chow's temper, of course he would be unhappy.

But I found the person and signed the contract with him, so I have to stand firm even if it means crying.

"Okay, only three days."

Don't be afraid of close-ups, there are other scenes that can be filmed, and you can use him as a human background or something, and you won't notice a big difference.

After work, Zhang Yuan went straight to Yuan Hua.

"Uncle Hua, long time no see."

"Oh, it's been a long time." Yuan Hua always smiled and stepped forward to pat his shoulder: "Come, let me introduce you..."

"Sister Yuan Qiu." Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded before he finished speaking.

"Calling me uncle, calling me Sister Qiu, do I look so old?" Yuan Hua complained in his heart.

That is, women all call each other sister, otherwise it is easy to make the other person unhappy.

After all, most women are particularly concerned about their age and seniority, and are afraid of being called old.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Liu Qianqian.

"How old are you?"

"Then you can't call me sister, you have to call me auntie."

She is the only one who loves to take the lead...

"I've heard Rong Zhi talking about you for a long time." Yuan Qiu replied with a smile.

Rong Jizhi is Yuan Hua's real name. In this world, apart from his family, probably only his fellow brothers and sisters who are as close as family to him know his real name.

Even after the movie "Kung Fu", many people have forgotten the name Yuan Hua and only remember his nickname "Landlord".

Although Yuan Qiu is a landlady with a bad temper in the film, she is actually very gentle in real life and is a good wife and mother. And like most Hong Kong women, she stopped working after marriage and focused on taking care of her husband and children, buying groceries and cooking.

In comparison, the mainland, where women hold up half the sky and most couples work, is much more advanced in thinking.

"Sister Qiu, do you want to play mahjong tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qiu's eyes immediately lit up.

This guy's card addiction is no less than that of Big Boss Wang.

Originally, Stephen Chow did not have a fixed idea for the character of the landlady. He is just like that, and he often comes up with whatever he wants while filming.

That's why I can tolerate Zhang Yuan's opinions.

During the previous audition, Stephen Chow came outside the door during a break and saw a middle-aged woman with her legs crossed, a cigarette in her mouth, and a head of curly hair... It was Yuan Qiu.

In an instant, the image of the landlady in Stephen Chow's mind became concrete.

This is seeing the real person!
Upon asking, I found out that Yuan Qiu was accompanying his junior sister Yuan Ju to the audition.

Master Xing immediately had a sense of déjà vu.

More than 20 years ago, Stephen Chow’s sister was dating someone. On their first date, she was afraid of embarrassment, so she brought her younger brother, him, along.

The boy on the opposite side did the same and brought his friends with him.

This friend’s name is Tony Leung Chiu Wai!
In the end, his sister and that boy did not get together, but he and Liang Chaowei became close friends.

That year, he went to take the wireless training class exam and took Liang Chaowei with him to help him build up his courage.

As a result, he failed the exam, but Tony Leung was selected.

He saw himself and Wei Zai in Yuan Qiu, and felt even more intimate with him.

"Playing cards is fun." Yuan Qiu became excited when she heard this. Apart from taking care of the children, her favorite thing to do is playing cards.

"Uncle Hua, are you coming too?"

"Okay, I'll find someone else."

In the evening, after dinner, Zhang Yuan came to Yuan Qiu's hotel room.

Although Yuan Qiu is a woman, I'm afraid no one would suspect that someone went to her room in the middle of the night to have sex with her.

After all, Zhang Yuan is almost thirty years older than her.

But some things have nothing to do with age.

Just like 50-year-old Yu Feihong, I'm afraid many 20-year-old young men would also be happy to try the feeling of holding ten gold bricks.

"Coming!"

As soon as I entered the house, the smell of smoke hit my eyes.

Before the card game started, there were five or six cigarette butts in front of Yuan Qiu.

Yuan Hua was also smoking and waved at him with a smile.

When he got closer, he saw a tea egg... no, a dark bald head.

"Uncle Long!"

The poker partner Yuan Hua invited was none other than Fire Cloud Evil God Liang Xiaolong.

When he sat down, there were three peerless masters sitting next to Brother Chen...

"Do you want to smoke?" Yuan Qiu asked.

"I brought it with me." Zhang Yuan took out a whole carton of cigarettes from his backpack.

It’s the Double Happiness cigarette that people in Shanghai love to smoke.

"Sister Qiu, Uncle Hua, Uncle Long, come and try the special flavors of the Magic City."

Others sell cigarettes by the stick, but he sells them by the pack.

How could the elders not like him being so generous? They all looked at him with kind eyes.

But after just a few seconds, the expressions of the three people changed.

From kindness to terror, it only takes five seconds.

Because they saw Zhang Yuan stretch out his right hand, then take out four cigarettes from the cigarette box, pinch one cigarette between each fingertip, light them one by one, and smoke them back and forth like playing a harmonica.

If you look up the most elegant word in the Xinhua Dictionary to describe his current state of smoking, it should be "similar to Yu Qian".

"You're being beaten like this... can your body bear it?" Yuan Hua was stunned for a long time before speaking.

"It's all for the role." Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, showing his strong lung capacity.

"Looking at the way he's smoking, he should be asked to perform the Lion Roar Technique..." Yuan Qiu complained.

The card game started, and according to Zhang Yuan's plan, he intended to feed some cards to a few people as usual, and take some attributes back at the same time.

But I never expected that I would meet a master!
Not to mention feeding the cards, he tried his best to maintain a balance between income and expenditure.

As the saying goes, old ginger is spiciest!

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so strong." Yuan Qiu looked at him excitedly, "Originally, I was planning to win all your film pay tonight."

Zhang Yuan: …

Who is pulling who here?
There is someone outside!
He didn’t know whether these three were peerless masters of martial arts, but they were really good at playing cards!

At the same time, he was secretly observing the three people during the card game.

Yuan Qiu's hands are a little rough, it seems that he has done a lot of housework.

Yuan Hua's hands were very ordinary, with slightly larger joints, obviously from practice.

These two were fine, they were within his expectations.

But when Zhang Yuan saw Liang Xiaolong's hands, he was really shocked.

Those fists are one and a half times the size of an average person’s!
Moreover, the joints are not thick anymore, and each bone stands out like a carrot!

What’s even more shocking is that on each of his knuckles, there is a half-centimeter thick dark callus.

"At his age, he still practices regularly?"

If a sports student comes here, his fists will be covered with bruises, and if it comes to an ordinary person, the fists will probably be covered with bruises here and there.

Zhang Yuan knew that this guy not only knew Northern Kick and Wing Chun, but also knew karate.

When Liang Xiaolong was young, he once fought with more than a dozen thugs armed with machetes in the corridor of a building with his bare hands.

As a result, this person only suffered minor skin injuries, while the person on the opposite side fell to the ground.

But his greatest strength is not his martial arts.

In the 1980s, he was invited to the mainland for exchanges because of his two popular dramas "Huo Yuanjia" and "Chen Zhen".

After returning to Hong Kong, he told the media.

"This is the first time in my life that I have set foot on my own country. As a Chinese, I silently wish my country's economy to take off."

As a result, just this one sentence angered the reactionaries in Taiwan, who forced him to write a letter of repentance, otherwise they would ban him.

As a result, he was banned at the height of his career and he refused to give in.

A few years later, Tony Leung was banned in Taiwan for the same reason, which ruined his acting career for a time, and he could only set up stalls to make a living.

The two actors with the surname Liang are both tough guys.

"We have to find a way to get some benefits from him." Zhang Yuan was very envious of the old man's kung fu.

For three days in a row, the four of them played cards every night. Even though three of them practiced martial arts, on the third night, they started pounding their waists just after 12 o'clock and said they couldn't take it anymore, so they went to bed early.

On the fourth day, Zhang Yuan came to the set shivering.

"Ah...hahaha." He yawned with all his might, then waved his hand when he saw Huang Shengyi passing by.

"Good morning."

"Hello...what's wrong with you?" Huang Shengyi was about to reply with a smile, but suddenly turned pale with shock.

She stood there in panic, not daring to move forward.

At this time, Zhang Yuan's temples were sunken, his cheeks were deflated, his smoke rings were black, his eyelids were slightly blue, and his eyeballs were full of red bloodshot.

He smokes a pack of cigarettes every three days, eats only one meal a day, and plays cards all night long. After the three old men left last night, he stayed up all night without sleep.

At this moment, we can’t say that he doesn’t look like a human, but we can say that he doesn’t look like a ghost.

If he hadn't taken two showers before going out, the smell of cigarette smoke and hair oil on his body would have made his holy robes stagger.

At this time, Master Xing also passed by the two of them, raised his head and waved his hand, and walked forward quickly as always, and then...

He stepped back again.

"Hiss..." Zhang Yuan sniffed his nose and wiped the tears that seeped from the corners of his eyes when he yawned.

Master Xing came up to him with a look of horror on his face, his lips trembling, and he was stunned for a long time before he finally spoke.

"Hey, are you kidding me?"

"I'll let you play the role of a drug addict."

"No one, you really suck!"
