"Card!"
On the set, Zhang Yuan and Tin Kai Man, who had just experienced a small accident, continued filming without stopping.
As for Zhang Yuan’s burnt hair and Tianji’s burnt clothes.
The makeup artist fixed the hair by just pulling the hair next to it to cover it.
This approach is similar to the last bit of stubbornness of the middle-aged bald man, both of which are robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Anyway, it's okay as long as I can take over temporarily. It's a night scene, so it's not that clear to see.
Tianji's situation was even simpler, as there were more than one set of costumes prepared for the main actors, so he just had to change into them.
"No, it's still wrong."
After shooting twice more, Stephen Chow called for a stop again.
"Tianji, you still have the same problem as before, your reaction is wrong." Master Xing walked forward shaking his head.
Then Stephen Chow and Tin Kai Man turned their heads together and looked at him.
"Why are you looking at me?" Zhang Yuan pointed at himself: "Did I act wrong?"
“Hehehe…” Star Master laughed, “It’s not that you acted wrong.”
"You acted fine."
"But Tianji had problems before, and it was you who pointed them out to him."
"So you tell me more."
When Stephen Chow looked at him, Zhang Yuan always felt that, if one only looked at that slightly greedy look, it seemed as if he was the one pulling at me, not me pulling at him.
"Master Xing, can you tell me how to increase the pay?"
“Hahahaha… talk about it later, talk about it later…” Zhou Xingchi replied with a wry smile.
As expected of you.
Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly, and at the same time saw Tianji showing the same helpless and disgusted expression.
The two looked at each other, both trying to hold back their laughter.
Tian Ji knows better than Zhang Yuan how stingy Stephen Chow is.
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Yuan just joked: "Actually the problem is very simple, just like the director said, it's the wrong reaction."
"The master played by Brother Qiwen is as timid as a mouse and a fence-sitter."
“Imagine this scene.”
"If Brother Chen and him were caught together, hung on the stove, and one of them had to die, what would he do?"
"Of course, let Brother Chen die." Tianji replied immediately.
"I think it's more than that. He's not only going to let the other person die, he's going to kick the other person off the stove to make sure the other person doesn't do the same thing to him."
"At the same time, he would say some sanctimonious words to confuse the opponent before kicking him."
Master Xing nodded vigorously, this statement indeed fits the character's personality.
If you dig deeper, you will find that the master is just an ultimate villain, even a bad person, who changes his attitude according to the situation and would rather kill his friends than himself.
In fact, in real life, extremely evil people like Brother Chen are very rare. Instead, slippery and evil people like Master Shiye are the most common and the most difficult to deal with.
It’s the same in the movie, Brother Chen was beaten to death by Fire Cloud Evil God with one palm strike, but Master survived to the end.
"Since this character has such a personality, then the way you tried your best to help the boss put out the fire in your performance just now was wrong."
"After his initial attempts, not only did he not help, he was also afraid that the other party's fire would hurt him. This is the accurate reaction of this character."
Oh... Master Xing and Tian Ji said in unison.
now it's right!
Stephen Chow also recently discovered that Zhang Yuan’s understanding of the role is different from that of ordinary actors.
There are several general ways that actors analyze roles.
Experience type, feeling type, but Zhang Yuan belongs to another type, logical type.
“There’s a lot of logical deduction in his performance, so even if it’s someone else’s role, he can feel whether it’s right or not.”
“But the strange thing is that among the three major schools of acting, there are experiential, expressive and method schools.”
“Most people can only use one of these.”
“But that’s where he’s weird.”
"His performance method is more experiential, he really listens, really watches, and really feels. This can be seen from the fact that he lost weight to shape the character and make himself look closer to the character."
"But his way of thinking is expressionist, and he emphasizes logic."
"And in some scenes that require explosive power, his performance seems to have the shadow of the substitution method used by the method school."
"How can there be someone who can be used by all three sects and in the right place? That's too strange."
"The key is that he is only in his early twenties. How did he do it?"
Even Stephen Chow, who is extremely talented in acting, found it novel.
In fact, this matter is very simple, the system has complicated it...
Fortunately, the attributes extracted by the system have been purified, otherwise his performance would have become a mess.
For example, the experiential performance attributes mainly come from actors like Hu Jun.
If he and Liu Ye were not the experience-oriented ones, "Lan Yu" would not have been filmed to be so gay and unforgettable. After all, the experience-oriented one emphasizes truth.
Leslie Cheung was also a well-known experientialist, which was why he was so obsessed with acting. He took his acting so seriously that even Ge You was afraid of him.
Actors who are experientialists are prone to developing so-called aura.
In fact, Liu Qianqian is also taking the path of experientialism, but... just like what General Fan said: I don’t have the ability to know!
Therefore, her range of experiential acting is very narrow, and she is very picky about scripts and directors.
Many of the points for expressionism were gained from Zhang Guoli, who is considered one of the top masters of expressionism in China.
As for the method school, Wang Zhiwen is considered to be a great method school master in China, and many of his points for the method school were borrowed from Sun Honglei.
"Okay, then let's do it again as Zhang Yuan said."
After Stephen Chow gave a few more instructions, the camera turned on again.
clap clap clap...
After pouring the wine on Zhang Yuan's head, Tianji hurriedly stood up and helped to pat the "flame" burning on Zhang Yuan's hair.
"This smell... seems to be Martell."
Zhang Yuan thought to himself.
Was that real wine or brandy that was poured on his head just now?
People in Guangdong Province love brandy, especially Martell, which is in line with Stephen Chow's status.
After slapping him a few times, Tianji immediately turned around and not only pushed Zhang Yuan, but also raised his head and kicked Zhang Yuan as far as possible, as if he was afraid that the fire on the other party's body would burn his head.
"Card!"
"very good!"
"This is indeed much better than before." Master Xing clapped his hands.
Both of them smiled with relief.
"Try it a few more times and see."
The smile suddenly stopped...
After shooting this shot more than ten times, it was finally passed.
And tonight's scenes have finally finished.
Originally, Yuan Qiu, Yuan Hua and others were planning to invite me to play mahjong.
After the show, he looked at the time and it was already 12 o'clock. He guessed that the old people were ready to go to bed, so he didn't disturb them.
He bit open a bag of cocoa-flavored milk with his teeth. This was his vital sign maintenance meal.
While drinking, he also handed a bag to Tianji.
"Thank you." Tin Kai Man thanked with a smile, but he was actually very tired.
"Is this your first time working with Master Xing?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so tiring."
The two sat in the dressing room, chatting while removing their makeup.
"You're pretty amazing. Many people who act in Stephen Chow's movies collapse after a few days." This was the first time Tian Ji had talked to him so much: "You can hold on. I don't think you're that tired."
"Actually, they are all considered good now, with special effects and a large budget."
"When I was shooting in Hong Kong, the schedule was tight and the pay was low. I had to finish work at midnight and start again in the early morning, and there was no extra food. It was really killing me."
"The mainland is still better."
"In the future, the film market will definitely depend on the mainland."
Zhang Yuan didn't expect that although this person was just Stephen Chow's "henchman", his vision was much better than most Hong Kong people and he could see things more clearly.
The two chatted for a long time and had a very pleasant time.
It seems that after what happened just now, Tianji realized that he had similarities with him and also wanted to make friends with him.
After all, he said that the future film market will be in mainland China, so it is only natural to make friends with promising mainlanders.
Dragging his tired feet back to the hotel room. "I now understand why those young actors in later generations are so delicate when acting in a play."
"It's easy and profitable, who the hell would put up with this kind of hard work?"
If it weren't for long-term planning, he wouldn't have put so much effort into making this movie for which he was only paid $15.
When I got to the room, I found that my phone had run out of battery. I replaced the battery and it lit up immediately.
Every time he changed the battery, he would sigh and wonder why such a convenient design disappeared in later generations.
beep, beep...
Shortly after I turned on the phone, a text message came in.
"Are you busy? The phone is not working."
When he saw the recipient was Cheng Hao, he called back directly.
"Hey, are you asleep?"
"Not yet. What about you? Did you just get off work?"
Cheng Hao's gentle and delicate voice immediately rang out from the other end of the phone.
"Yeah, I had a night party today, and I just got back to my room. I saw your text and replied."
"Don't be too tired and take good care of yourself." There was a hint of sadness and pity in Cheng Hao's voice, and the caring feeling almost crawled into his ears along the telephone line.
"What about you, what have you been doing lately?"
"As for me..." At this point, the voice on the other end suddenly became relaxed and cheerful: "The filming of the play I was shooting before has been completed."
"Oh, congratulations. If you get the pay, you have to treat me to a room, no, a meal."
"Go to hell." The woman on the other side cursed with a delicate smile.
Zhang Yuan knew that she had been filming a TV series called "My Wushu Boyfriend".
When he was in the capital, Cheng Hao accompanied him at night and had to rush to the crew during the day, so tired that she couldn't close her legs.
"You are filming in the Magic City, right?"
"Yes, in Chedun."
"Well, I'm going to the Magic City in the next two days. First, I want to hang out with my friends from the previous crew."
"The leading actors of this drama are all from Hong Kong and Formosa, so I guess I am doing my best to be a good host."
"Also, I'm going to Shanghai to discuss a new drama."
"You've just finished filming one and there's already a new drama?"
"You think you're the only one with a lot of drama? I'm also very popular, okay?" Cheng Hao said proudly.
"Of course, my goddess, for sure."
"Well, that's pretty much it."
After agreeing on a time with her, Zhang Yuan fell into a deep sleep.
Two days later, at noon.
Zhang Yuan had a scene in the afternoon, so he did not remove his makeup and waited for Cheng Hao to arrive in his costume.
Just when he was about to fall asleep leaning against the wall, a fragrant breeze blew into his nose.
As soon as he smelled it, he knew it was Cheng Hao coming.
why?
Because most girls wear perfume, but Cheng Hao's nickname is Cheng Laokou, so she can't afford to buy perfume. She only wears floral water, so you can tell it's her just by smelling it.
But unlike Stephen Chow, Cheng Hao only cares about himself and not others.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be willing to bring my friends from the crew to Shanghai to play.
He was very proud of the scent of the floral water, which was so refreshing and much better than those perfumes with strong powdery smell.
"Hello, is this the crew of Kung Fu?"
When Zhang Yuan opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful face wearing a sky blue long-sleeved top and a ponytail.
He was wearing the old pair of jeans that he was very familiar with.
Why is it so familiar?
Because he had taken off these pants about twenty or thirty times, he was more skilled at unbuttoning them than Cheng Hao himself.
"Excuse me, I want to find Zhang Yuan, where should I go?"
Ok?
From the sound of it, you didn't recognize me?
Zhang Yuan thought about it for a moment and then joked seriously.
"I didn't know there was a person named Zhang Yuan in the crew."
"Ah, is this Kung Fu?"
"Yes."
"That……"
“But I’ve never heard of this guy.”
Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, his eyes were blank, he took two steps back and lowered his head to think.
"Could it be that this guy said he was filming, but he was actually fooling around with another woman?"
"That's not right. Shu Chang is taking classes at the Central Academy of Drama. I've even hired someone to keep an eye on him."
"Is there someone else?"
At this moment, Cheng Hao had already thought of Jiang Xin from Liu Tao, and then of Shi Lan who played Ye Erniang. After all, that girl was indeed "great because of her tolerance".
If Zhang Yuan could read minds, he would probably start cursing now.
Shi Lan, how old are you? You think I’m Peng Yuyan!
Why don’t you suspect Liu Xiaoli!
As Cheng Hao was thinking about it, he was stunned at first, then he suddenly raised his head and stared at him intently.
She walked forward step by step, tilted her head, and stared into his eyes.
Zhang Yuan couldn't hold it in any longer and started grinning.
Cheng Hao opened his mouth, moved his jaw, and frowned, obviously very angry.
"You play with me?"
"We'll talk about this when we get back to the hotel tonight."
Cheng Hao: ...
But she was angry for less than five seconds before she calmed down and looked sad.
"what happened to you?"
"You've lost so much weight?"
Indeed, he has lost a lot of weight, and he has been maintaining the state of Brother Chen both on and off the stage recently. His decadent and crazy look is in stark contrast to his usual self.
Cheng Hao walked up to him and stroked his face gently.
Then he moved his face closer and looked at him carefully.
He rolled up his eyelids and stretched his lips, just like he was examining a large animal.
"what?"
"In your current state, you can't be..." Cheng Hao's eyes suddenly turned red, and two tears kept swirling around, as if they would fall down in pieces if he wasn't careful.
"Did you eat something you shouldn't?" She lowered her voice and asked seriously.
His eyeballs were red, his teeth were black and yellow, and he suddenly lost a lot of weight. His whole spirit and energy were no longer the same as before.
Cheng Hao has been in the entertainment industry for several years. Although he has not eaten pork, he has seen pigs run.
When I saw his state, I thought of the illegal "hobbies" of some people in the circle.
"I don't know how to..." Before he could get to know them, several people came running over from a distance.
These people are Cheng Hao’s friends from the same crew.
There are young actor Li Wei, "Taibai Jinxing" Sun Xing, and Crow Brother Zhang Yaoyang.
Zhang Yuan was speaking when these three people came forward.
"Don't worry, I didn't take any drugs."
Ok?
The three of them pricked up their ears immediately when they heard this.
There’s also an unexpected bonus!
"You are lying. Who would believe you in your current state?" Cheng Hao looked angry, with the beauty of a strict class teacher, and a unique style.
"Teacher Cheng Hao, don't worry, he definitely didn't smoke."
At this moment, Brother Crow stepped forward and advised.
"Yes, yes, we can all see that he doesn't have it. Don't worry." Sun Xing also stepped forward to help explain.
"People who smoke don't look like him."
Zhang Yuan nodded.
Correct.
Of course you two understand.
Because you two are really good at it! (End of this chapter)
