Brother Zhang had no problem with his lines, but he still had some problems understanding the character. Although the first part went smoothly, the latter part of the line got stuck three or four times.
However, the director was not in a hurry, because he saw that this newcomer just lacked some guidance, so he and Brother Zhang came to a small room and said that they wanted to explain the play seriously and carefully.
"Is it an unspoken rule?" Xiao Ma turned around and said excitedly to Wugenshui: "Isn't he trying to unspoken rules for me, my boss? Hold the grass, he doesn't want his life!"
Wu Genshui looked at Xiao Ma in surprise: "You don't know this director? He's a famous director. He's a regular at film festivals. He obviously sees the potential of the Holy Lord and wants to give him a small chance. It's an opportunity that many people dream of.
.”
"I'm afraid that if he takes a liking to the boss, something big will happen."
But fortunately, the director is not the kind of person who will just take the actors and go to the dark room next door to unspoken rules. He is really serious about breaking up the mentality of the characters in the play.
"You have to find the rhythm of your previous one. This character is a young emperor. At the age of nineteen, he conquered the country personally. At the age of twenty-two, he eradicated dissidents and played with power by applause. The arrogance, talent, and courage must be concentrated in him. It is definitely not based on shouting.
To enhance the character's level, you have to compress your arrogance and arrogance into one emotional point. For example, when you first hear that there are assassins outside, and the assassins have even reached the door, but you just look up, you have to
When I bring this emotion in, I don’t see these people at all.”
Brother Zhang was listening carefully. After hearing this, he probably understood the feeling that the director wanted to pursue, so he nodded.
"Okay, let's do another one. You go out and prepare it."
This time, Brother Zhang started again, starting from the line. The first few sentences expressed doubts, but his face was full of disbelief, because the protagonist was his friend who had been in the world together during the private interview in private, and the two of them also
They are close friends, so when he sees the protagonist rushing in, the young emperor needs to have some shock on his face.
The next line is what the protagonist asks the emperor, probably about why he wants to harm the people of the world and why he wants to be a tyrant.
At this time, Brother Zhang will show a kind of disdain, indifference and introspection that is not easy to detect. Then when the other party comes up with the last sentence and says, "There will always be one of us who cannot walk out of the hall today", Brother Zhang's performance tension will be released.
Show that you are not wrong with an absolutely confident attitude, and then talk about the country's shortcomings in the lines. At the end, you must also show a "I have finished reflecting, but I know that only my way is the best."
"Good way" decision, until he turned his back and waited for his Ouchi master to kill all these assassins.
This time, Xiao Zhang easily achieved the feeling that the director needed, even one step closer to the feeling that the director needed. Especially in the final stage when the master Ouchi and the assassin were fighting behind him, the young emperor showed
That kind of indifference to life, that sense of indifference and alienation, is really not something that just anyone can perform, let alone young people, even veteran actors who have been immersed in it for decades.
Can grasp it.
The director also found that the young man who was temporarily brought in by the investor to make a guest appearance had an inherent sense of alienation in him. The look in his eyes that was indifferent to death and pain was definitely not a performance, but something he was born with.
of.
In other words, the protagonist of the next part of the play seems to be tailor-made for this young man. His image, temperament, charm, etc. are all the best candidates. No matter what role he chooses, it is him.
After reading the last one, the director felt like he had found a treasure. He immediately found Wugen Shui and said excitedly: "Amei, where did you get this young man?"
"This...is a friend from the mainland."
"Okay, okay, we can start shooting the next movie directly. He is simply preparing for the next movie."
Seeing the director's earnest expression, Wu Genshui's face was more distorted than if he had eaten a fly. He knew the temper of this famous director, how excited he was now, and how irritable he would be when he knew that his hope failed, and he might even be angry.
Leave the set directly.
"Let's talk about this later...he may not have time."
"Why doesn't he have time? Then let him have time, and you can increase his salary for the film. It's such a good opportunity."
Wugenshui began to explain to the director tactfully. Xiaoma looked a little bored, so he went down to find Brother Zhang who was taking off his costume, and asked curiously: "Boss, how do you feel? It's your first time.
filming."
"It's not bad." Brother Zhang smiled and said, "At least I can experience a life that I can't experience. It's not bad."
Xiao Ma nodded, and then said to him: "The director was arguing with Brother Shui up there just now."
"Why?"
"It's not because of you. The director wants you to directly become the leading actor in the next film. Brother Shui is not very willing. I guess you won't agree either." Xiao Ma leaned over and smiled: "But I'm still looking forward to you.
What about the movie she acted in?"
Brother Zhang laughed, but didn't say anything. He just silently allowed the staff to remove the costumes and props.
Sure enough, by the time he went up, Wu Genshui had already had a huge quarrel with the director. The director wanted Brother Zhang to participate in the next work, and he didn't even care about all the concerns Wu Genshui said, even if it was
He would admit it even if I had to pay for it, he just wanted Brother Zhang to play this role.
"Boss, look at this old man, he is really stubborn."
"Yeah." Brother Zhang nodded and stepped forward to help Wugenshui.
But Brother Zhang never expected that this old man was really stubborn and stubborn. No matter what reasons Brother Zhang gave, he felt that there was a way to overcome it.
He said that he had a job, and the director said that he could communicate with their unit and borrow Brother Zhang, and also said that he would give them a certain amount of compensation. When he said that he couldn't leave, the director said that it was no problem and that he could be put in GZ for filming.
There is no problem with this. The set conditions and other conditions in GZ have long been better than those in Hong Kong. Besides, I can’t act, so the director said that he is already very good. He also used the famous Mr. Shu in China as an analogy, saying that
A simple and natural character with no trace of acting is the best acting skill in his mind.
Brother Zhang was very talkative and not very good at rejecting people. Seeing that this 60 or 70-year-old man had gone so far as to talk, he finally sighed and agreed.
Seeing that he agreed, the old man was unambiguous and immediately started discussing with Wu Genshui about changing the filming location to GZ.
This was something Wugenshui had no choice but to refuse, because in terms of status, this old man was on a higher level than Wugenshui. If he really wanted to live a good life in this world, this old man really couldn’t be offended.
of.
"Gui Lao filmed The Last Emperor and was praised like that. Why can't I film an emperor? Anyway, I can film better than them. Come on!" The director pulled Wugenshui in front of Xiao Zhang, saying this up and down.
He made a gesture: "Let me ask you, does he look like an emperor when he stands here? Look at his temperament. Do you think this is what God gave me? Amei, I am seventy, and I am still
I have cancer and I don’t have much time. God sympathizes with me and gives me such an opportunity. I want to shoot something different from others.”
After he finished speaking, he left with a sunny look on his face. It was not at all like what he said that he still had the characteristics of cancer at the age of seventy.
As soon as he left, Wugenshui looked at Brother Zhang and smiled bitterly: "Holy Lord, this..."
"It's okay, he will forget about it in a few days." Brother Zhang laughed and said, "I'm so bad at acting..."
To be honest, from Wugenshui's point of view, Xiao Zhang's acting skills are really bad, but I don't know why the famous director fell in love with him at a glance.
I hope it will be true as the Holy Lord said, and this matter will be forgotten in a few days.
"Okay, don't discuss this anymore. It's getting late. Let's go get something to eat." Xiao Ma rubbed his belly and said, "I feel like there are ten thousand people dancing in my belly."
The three of them came to the famous local Yanchi Building. This place is said to be the main venue for filming gourmet movies. The century-old store has a long-standing reputation, so the price is naturally high, but Wugen Shui doesn't seem to regard money as money at all. Kaka
One pass.
Xiao Ma sat there and looked at the surrounding environment, and said with great interest: "Boss, do you think this place looks like the place where Brother Crow flipped the table in the Hong Kong movies we watched back then?"
Brother Zhang also looked around and nodded seriously: "It seems so."
"Hong Kong films at that time really influenced a generation." Xiao Ma said with emotion: "Look at what a mess it is now..."
While they were talking, a siren suddenly sounded outside the window, then several gunshots came from the bottom of the building, and then a series of commotions were heard behind the stairs.
"No way." Xiao Ma glanced at the stairs in astonishment: "Is there such a coincidence in the world?"
"It's probably life."
Sure enough, not long after, several gangsters carrying bags and Laifu rushed upstairs aggressively. They guarded the stairwell and elevator room of this old building. One of them threw a grenade down.
After the grenade exploded, they shouted down: "Don't come up, we have hostages here!"
At this time, Xiao Ma looked at Brother Zhang: "Three seconds?"
"One second." Brother Zhang raised a finger: "Three seconds is too slow."
"Okay, one second."
Xiao Ma picked up the six chopsticks on the table and used them as hidden weapons and flew out, and he himself flew out with the chopsticks.
The six chopsticks directly hit the hands of six of the gangsters as if they had eyes, and he restrained the neck of the last one, and it really only took a second to subdue all seven gangsters.
Wu Genshui stood up and began to collect their weapons, while Brother Zhang took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures and sent them to the group.
But just when everyone thought everything was fine, a grenade rolled down from the hand of one of the gangsters. The safety had been pulled out and was about to explode.
When no one in the room reacted, Brother Zhang directly picked up a bowl and threw it over, which happened to cover the grenade. Then the grenade exploded, but it only flashed inside and died down. Even the
The bowl didn't even break into pieces.
At this time, Wugenshui had already started shouting downstairs, and a large number of police officers rushed up and knocked down the gangsters directly.
"You are really unlucky." Xiao Ma threw the person in front of the police officer and turned around and said to Brother Zhang, "Eat a box lunch."
