Chapter 275: You can laugh and treat him like a show
September 30th! Beijing Times Cinema!
The premiere of "The King of Comedy" was held here.
Some people say that the luxurious lineup of guests attending the premiere can also verify the status of the film's director.
This is also true.
"The King of Comedy" is actually not a big production. If the cost is not counted as director Li Yi, this is a low-cost film.
But tonight, the guests present here have verified Li Yi's current identity and status.
And perhaps because of the special nature of the film "The King of Comedy," people in the Hong Kong film industry can almost say that all the famous stars and directors are here tonight.
Hong Kong's top celebrities, including Chen Weijie and Cheng Hu, also came to support the event.
As for the mainland, although the level of luxury may be a bit lower for celebrities.
But on another level, it also surprised countless media.
Chen Wen, Tang Lu, and Zhao Zheng, who had some grudges with Li Yi before, all attended the premiere.
Not only that, Zhao Guangming, chairman of China Film Group, also attended.
In comparison, the premiere of "Age of Youth 2: Crazy Age" seemed particularly shabby, although there were many crazy and enthusiastic fans around, as well as fans of the popular celebrities in the movie, screaming.
The sounds come and go.
It seems to be extremely popular, but in fact, everyone knows that compared with "The King of Comedy", "Youth 2" is simply not enough to watch.
...
The lights in the theater dimmed, and the signature subtitles of Li Yi's movie appeared on the giant screen: Director Li Yi's work!
Three seconds later, the entire screen lit up and an image appeared.
The first shot is very dim, with a scary green color, and then a group of zombies with dead faces float past faintly.
Paired with the background sound of the horror movie, all the viewers were immediately stunned.
What is this? A horror movie?
Everyone has question marks on their foreheads.
But the next moment, everyone couldn't help but yell: Director Dog!
Because after the camera turned, the filters and style of the entire film returned to normal. This seemed to be a studio. Yin Tianqiu, played by Zhou Xing, was wearing a straight suit and was standing behind a camera.
The half-head shouted: "Ka! Be more energetic, extras are also actors."
As he spoke, he walked out from behind the camera and stood in front of a group of extras who were as dull as wooden piles. He said with a look of hatred: "We are not making a ghost movie now, although you are all playing passers-by, A, B, C, and D."
, but it still has life and soul, especially since we have the opportunity to perform on the same stage with action movie queen Du Juaner this time, we should cherish it! Please be energetic, okay? Action!"
The audience immediately understood that this guy was the director!
In the movie, the scene returned to the camera again, and the group of extras were still listlessly passing by the camera. Yin Tianqiu frowned, leaned out half of his body and shouted "Click!"
However, this time, the end of his shout was very long, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with the scene. He was about to continue teaching them how to act, when suddenly a flying hand grabbed Yin Tian's head.
Qiu's hair and pulled him aside.
"Who the hell are you?"
A man carrying an assistant director walked into the camera aggressively.
Yin Tianqiu was a little embarrassed, rubbed his palms together and explained, "Well, I'm an actor."
Then before He Xiao could finish speaking, the assistant director shouted impatiently: "Aunt Xia!"
A woman who looked a little stunned came over quickly: "Yes!"
"What does this guy do?"
Aunt Xia, the leader of the group, pointed at Yin Tianchou's nose and said truthfully: "Third brother, this guy is just a walk-on!"
"A walk-on? Please, did you make a mistake? You just let random people mess with my machine?" the assistant director asked angrily.
Anyone who has seen the trailer of "The King of Comedy" knows what this woman is going to say next.
No way, that video is too popular.
As expected, she held the rolling paper in one hand, made some gestures on the empty space, and explained: "I'm sorry, third brother, I just went to take a dump. When I saw that he was idle, I asked him to help rehearse his moves."
"Oh, hurry up and find me some people who are responsive and can act! I'm waiting for you!" the assistant director shouted impatiently.
As soon as he heard this, Yin Tianchou rushed over, looked into the mirror again, and said with a shy face: "Let me do it, third brother."
"You?" The third brother's eyes were full of suspicion and he said casually: "Let's look at it with a nervous expression."
"Well... as far as tension is concerned, there are several types."
Yin Tianchou had a serious look on his face, just like he was explaining the drama to the group of extras at the beginning, and began to introduce it to the third brother.
The third brother also became interested when he heard it, and said dubiously: "It's like waiting for my wife to give birth to the baby in the hospital."
After he said the topic, Yin Tianqiu immediately got into the mood. His eyes were solemn, he looked left and right, and he was restless.
"My son is born." The third brother said another one when he saw that Yin Tianqiu's performance was quite interesting.
Yin Tianchou followed suit and took corresponding actions.
"My wife is dead."
"My son is a genius at calling me daddy."
"He has a chicken on his head, which is deformed."
"Won the Mark Six lottery jackpot."
"My son is dead."
Yin Tianqiu suddenly felt as if his machine had crashed, and there was no response no matter how he called!
"..."
"Hey, my son is dead!"
"..."
The third brother explained several situations very quickly, and Yin Tianchou responded accordingly, but stopped at the "son is dead" part.
I saw him sticking out his tongue in an exaggerated manner, and didn't respond for a long time. Then he regained his energy and explained: "No, if a person is hit too hard, he will enter a state of mental shock and no longer react."
"Damn! Is there anything else?" The third brother scalped Yin Tianchou with a disappointed look on his face and walked to the other side frantically.
The audience watching the movie couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.
Mainly, at the beginning of the film, there are several little tricks in a row, reversal, reversal and reversal.
The first reversal is a horror movie scene, making everyone think it is a horror movie, but it turns out it is not, this is a horror movie.
The second twist is that everyone thought Yin Tianchou was the director, but it turned out that he was not, he was actually just a sidekick!
The third twist is that Yin Tianchou is completely different. Before, he was so awesome and coaxing to give a speech to the group, but later he was kneeling down to recommend himself.
Of course, there is also this series of performances!
Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.
Many ordinary movie fans burst into laughter because they found this scene particularly interesting and at the same time found it incredible. How could one person have so many different reactions in a short period of time?
Some people may even think that the actor who plays Yin Tianchou has really good acting skills.
But in the eyes of an insider, it’s a completely different story!
Because, this series of performances is actually a complete mess!
Of course, the complete mess mentioned here refers to Yin Tianchou in the movie!
The actor who is really good at acting is indeed Zhou Xing, because this scene and this plot not only clearly demonstrate the character of Yin Tianchou's dedication and seriousness as an actor, but also illustrate his lack of talent in acting.
Because in fact, no matter what the state of performance is, it is not that simple!
Of course, the performance effect is still very good.
The plot continues.
The assistant director who was arrogant towards Yin Tianchou just now, when the director came out, he turned into another Yin Tianchou, nodding and bowing. It can be said that there is no difference from the previous Yin Tianchou.
The switching between the two faces can be said to be easy and natural.
Yin Tianchou's previous exaggerated performance still gave him a chance to play a small role.
On the screen, the scene switched to indoors. Yin Tianqiu, dressed in a priest's costume, was standing in the middle of the crowd at a loss.
"light?"
“The lighting is OK.”
"Props?"
"It has been prepared for a long time."
"Actor? Get ready!"
The director made a pretense of shouting around the shooting location, then sat down on the chair in a grandiose manner and was about to start filming.
At this time, Yin Tianqiu got into trouble again, and quickly stopped him and said: "Director, wait a minute, it's like this. According to the character's background and personality, I think the rhythm of the performance will be more naughty, but also a little bit...
Contradiction, do you think this is okay?"
The director, holding a cigarette in his hand, was stunned for a moment by what he said, then nodded and said: "Okay, turn on the camera!"
The score was recorded, the movie started shooting, and the next moment a gunshot was heard, and a stream of bright red blood spurted out of Yin Tianqiu's chest.
The audience in the audience didn't react for a while, and their faces were stunned.
As the co-author, you told the director a lot of things, making it seem like you were a character, but in fact, she was just a supporting role that was completed as soon as she appeared on the scene?
"Hahaha!"
"I thought it was a king, but I didn't expect it to be a bronze one!"
"You said it so seriously, but you ended up just being a walk-on?"
Amidst the laughter, with the sound of a gunshot on the screen, the scene instantly became chaotic, and a fight scene came.
I saw a figure wearing a black leather jacket with long flowing hair breaking through the window from the sky, holding a knife and gun, and entered the crowd to kill indiscriminately.
This kind of scene is relatively rare when it's filmed within a movie.
And compared with before, this scene is obviously very cool!
After the heroine's sharp killing spree, everyone fell down. Only the heroine should have been left on the screen, but in the end, Yin Tianchou covered the shot area and staggered into the frame from behind.
Already.
The director, who was originally very satisfied, suddenly exploded. He stood up and roared: "Ka!"
"What is that person doing in the back? You are already dead!"
With a cigarette in his mouth, he pointed at Yin Tian and cursed with an angry smile: "How come you can't die even if you die?"
However, Yin Tianchou, played by Zhou Xing, obviously did not understand that the director was so angry that he even explained to him seriously:
"That's right, because the character I designed is relatively naughty, so the underlying line in my heart is that I don't want to die."
The director went crazy and made exaggerated movements: "You have to die even if you don't want to!"
"Actually, I'm going to die soon. If you give me a little more time, I'll be completely dead." Yin Tianqiu pinched his fingers and said with a serious expression.
Many of the directors below were a little surprised by Zhou Xing's acting skills.
Because when Zhou Xing's real performance came, he really considered the character creation, but his starting point was a little wrong.
"Hey, do you know how many frames of film are used in one second?" Qi Xiao, who had been listening silently, stood up and stared at He Xiao and asked.
Zhou Xing showed a very respectful smile and said, "There are twenty-four frames, Sister Juan."
"Do you know how many seconds that shot just now lasted?" Sister Juan's face was serious and her voice gradually became louder.
Zhou Xing rolled his eyes and said, "About a minute."
"Then do you know how many seconds, how many frames of film, how much money was wasted because you didn't want to die? How much time and effort of the staff were wasted!"
The confident expression that he thought he had answered fluently just now suddenly turned into embarrassment. His mouth was tightly closed and raised slightly, coupled with the stunned eyes, a feeling of panic in his heart that he had made a big mistake due to his willful actions. Not to mention
It can be said that this expression itself is well performed, and coupled with Yin Tianqiu's exaggerated performance at the beginning as mentioned earlier, it makes people believe that this is his true feeling at this moment, without any unnaturalness.
At the end of the scolding, Sister Juan turned to the director and angrily complained about the quality of the supporting actors. At this moment, Yin Tianchou's frustration reached its peak. He pursed his lips and stared blankly, like a child who had made mistakes waiting for adults to punish him for his "crimes".
Final verdict.
The results are naturally self-evident.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The heroine was pissed off, and the director was even more furious.
When Aunt Xia, the leader of the group, wanted to drive him away, he actually asked with a serious face: "Aunt Xia, what did I do wrong?"
He really doesn't know what's wrong with his desire to perform a good role.
Aunt Xia was just a group leader. She couldn't offend the director or the heroine. She sighed and said, "Don't ask me again, I don't know what you are doing."
"Then I..."
"Let's go!"
"Oh, you reminded me. I have to go back to the neighborhood welfare association to open the door. I'll be back soon."
"You don't have to come back. Please don't let me take the blame again!"
Aunt Xia pushed Zhou Xing out like a plague, and the scene changed again, and they were already outside.
He tidied up his suit, and when he passed by the stage manager, he looked at the piles of lunch boxes, with a flash of desire in his eyes. He paused, as if thinking about whether he was qualified to take this lunch box.
Perhaps for him, this is not just a lunch, but also proof that he is a member of this crew and an actor.
After a brief hesitation, he reached out and quietly picked up a lunch.
"what are you doing!"
A strong big hand held down his hand and asked at the same time.
"Hello, stage manager, I just want to get a lunch." Zhou Xing said a little embarrassed.
"There's no food!" the owner of the big hand refused coldly.
Zhou Xing quickly explained: "I am such a big brother, because I have to leave first..."
"Then you go first!"
The steward said fiercely: "Do you know why you can't eat yet? It's because of you, you bastard! You will die no matter how hard you die! You've caused everyone to have nothing to eat, and I haven't had anything to eat either!"
"Don't you want to eat? You can eat with it!"
With a bang, the steward threw the lunch box to the ground. Vegetable leaves and rice were scattered on the floor, and a puppy came over to lick it.
Zhou Xing's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed and stiff.
Being scolded as worse than a dog, he could only endure it.
But the attendant was still behind and was unforgiving, yelling: "Shit, you are a pile of shit! Life is cheaper than an ant. I ride in a Mercedes-Benz, and you pick your nose! Eat? Eat shit!"
Zhou Xing could only run away in a hurry. The tip of his nose became increasingly red, indicating that a burst of sadness was welling up in his heart. When he got closer and closer to the camera, his continuous blinking was more like tears, and he felt like he was about to burst out.
People in the theater watching this scene didn't know why, they couldn't laugh.
At the same time, they also felt a little depressed. First of all, they sympathized with Yin Tianchou, played by Zhou Xing, but similarly, was it too much for the floor manager to scold him?
To a certain extent, it's not too much, because it was indeed because of him that the entire crew had no food to eat.
In fact, compared to ordinary audiences, Hong Kong actors such as Chen Weijie, who have had the experience of playing small roles, feel more deeply.
This is the helplessness of the little people at the bottom.
Not only Yin Tianchou, but also the assistant director, group leader, and the food manager, to a certain extent, they are all small figures!
Yin Tianchou's helplessness is that he has ideas, but his ideas do not match his identity.
No one cares about what he thinks. Why do you, a walk-on, need so many ideas?
Therefore, his excessive seriousness turned out to be inappropriate!
In fact, it reflects on many movie fans, and they also feel the same.
Sometimes, at work, they are no different from Yin Tianqiu.
No one cares what they think…
Maybe your supervisor took one look at the planning project that you worked so hard on late at night and immediately sent it back to ask you to redo it.
What do you think? Sorry, what does it have to do with me?
After a day of failure, Yin Tianchou returned to the welfare community and spent a boring day. During this period, he called Aunt Xia, the head of the group, twice in a row, but the answer he got was the same, no chance!
Yin Tianqiu returned to his small room. The scene design here is very clever. The walls are covered with posters, which cover local and overseas acting schools. The mirror in the middle is dirty, which is exactly in line with the surrounding posters.
The style matches. At this time, Yin Tianqiu enters the camera with a suspicious look on his face, forming a strong contrast with the high-spirited celebrities around him. His brows are lightly frowned, and the setting sun is shining, asking you how sad you can be, just like Yin Tianqiu in the mirror.
.
Yin Tianqiu had the idea to visit a welfare club on the street and rehearse a "Thunderstorm"!
It's just a pity that his seriousness is incompatible with this place.
People who visited the welfare community on the street regarded this matter as a joke, and no one cared about it.
In fact, Yin Tianchou could only teach the young and Dangerous boys how to play porcelain!
And even when he was teaching young and Dangerous gangsters, he was extremely serious, even though the process was very exaggerated and nonsensical.
