In the desolate Gobi background, the actress playing Guanyin was sitting cross-legged on a high mountain rock, and said to Li Yinian who was standing below: "You originally promised Tathagata Buddha to escort your master Tang Sanzang to fetch the Western Sutra, but
You actually colluded with the Bull Demon King to eat your master! Do you know that you have committed a heinous crime?"
Li Yizheng danced like a stick in front of the camera, pointed upward, and shouted coldly: "Stop drinking."
Huang Bo and others who were watching the play couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. Although it was just a simple appearance, Li Yigang set the script in terms of his voice, expression and body movements, and the unruly and wild Sun Wukong also interpreted it.
Very accurate!
"You chased me for three days and three nights. Because you are a woman, I will not kill you! Don't think that I am afraid of you!" Li Yi raised his head and shouted coldly at Guanyin.
Luo Jiayin, who plays Tang Sanzang, sat on the ground beside him and spoke in a gentle voice: "Wukong, how can you talk to Sister Guanyin like this?"
"Ouch!" Li Yi turned his head fiercely and made a grinning expression at Luo Jiayin, showing that
He was extremely ferocious, his eyes were full of venom, and he shouted: "Don't make any noise!"
The Luo family on the opposite side was immediately startled. It really felt like facing a wild beast, and it was like running away subconsciously!
Fortunately, the camera was still pointed at Li Yi just now. The moment when his body trembled and his face changed color was not captured. And he is a capable veteran actor after all. After a moment of panic, he quickly adjusted his posture.
state.
When the camera moved towards him, he returned to his previous gentleness and said, "You're scaring me again."
Fortunately, in order to create that ethereal atmosphere, the lighting was very dark, otherwise his pale face, which had just been frightened by Li Yi's acting skills, would have been exposed in front of the camera.
"Aren't you afraid of me? Why did you hurt Fairy Zixia and steal her gaze box?" Guanyin continued to ask.
When Li Yi heard this, he took out a small box-like thing from behind and took a look at it, while Guanyin continued: "Don't you want to avoid me?"
"Since I can't hide, I will fight to the death with you!" Li Yi waved his hand and smashed the moonlight treasure box in his hand onto Tang Sanzang Luo Jiayin's lotus crown.
"What are you doing again?" Luo Jiayin turned to look at Li Yi.
Li Yi once again danced the golden cudgel handsomely and put on a fighting posture, but Luo Jiayin on the side had already picked up the Qieguang treasure box he had thrown away and trotted to him, mumbling:
"Don't be angry. Being angry will break the rules of anger! Wukong, you are too naughty."
Li Yi, on the other hand, made corresponding actions based on his lines, either stupidly dropping the golden cudgel and picking it up again, or reaching out to grab the Qieguang treasure box, and then smashed it into pieces in Luo Jiayin's house.
After reading it, his eyes were filled with confusion, looking particularly innocent and confused!
"Pfft!"
Zhu Yin and others who were watching the show couldn't help but laugh secretly when they saw Li Yi's performance!
"Hahahaha! Teacher Luo Jiayin and Brother Yi work together perfectly, it's so funny!"
"When I first read the script, I didn't realize how funny this part was!"
“Brother Yi’s eyes and expressions are simply amazing!”
"..."
While they were discussing in low voices, Li Yi in front of the camera couldn't bear it anymore and burst out with a "Holy shit" and beat Luo Jiayin to the ground!
"Hehehehehe..." Li Yi smiled with helplessness on his face and said to Guanyin: "Everyone has seen that this guy talks at length when he has nothing to do. He chatters, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, as if there is a fly all day long.
Buzz buzz..."
"I'm sorry! Not one, but a bunch of flies are surrounding you! Buzzing, buzzing, buzzing..."
While Li Yi was talking, he waved his arms as if to shoo away flies, as if
There were literally a bunch of flies flying around him.
"Fly into your ears! Ah, one by one." Li Yi dropped the golden cudgel and the moonlight treasure box, with a look on his face that he was in pain and couldn't bear it anymore. He knelt on the ground and covered his ears, shouting in a trembling voice: "
Help~!”
Then, he fell to the ground, rolling and struggling!
Li Yi's performance made Huang Bo and others nod their heads, secretly praising him!
Although Li Yi was only speaking his lines and performing body movements, his acting skills were still fully demonstrated through various details.
It made everyone feel the same. In front of their eyes and in their minds, the image of being entangled by a large group of annoying flies, and finally overwhelmed and on the verge of collapse!
Soon, after Li Yi said some more lines, the assistant director called "Cut" at the right time.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang...
The scene immediately burst into warm applause!
"Brother Yi just performed so well!"
"Yes! Especially the one-man show about swatting flies, it was so vivid, so vivid, and so contagious!"
"Teacher Luo Jiayin's performance is also very good. He also brought out the nagging and annoying energy in the performance!"
"This opening scene is really interesting. The scenes are very simple, but the performances of Yi Ge and the three of them are so eye-catching and draw people in, making them want to keep watching!"
"Brother Yi's version of Sun Wukong is so different. Not only is it very subversive, but it's also extremely interesting!"
"..."
Everyone said in a hurry.
Zhu Yin and others came to Li Yi. Huang Bo walked around Li Yi several times, looking at it and marveling!
"When I saw your appearance before, I was quite worried. I thought it was too ugly and would it affect your performance. I didn't expect that with your acting skills, I feel much more pleasing to the eye. You actually have a strange handsomeness!"
Huang Bo touched his chin and said.
Karen Mok and others also nodded in agreement and praised Li Yi a few words.
Li Yi's facial makeup is still very thick, and basically only his outline can be seen. Except for the eyes, nose, mouth and other places, all the makeup is on, and basically he can't make any expressions.
But just now, Li Yi, with just a pair of eyes and rich body movements, brought the unique Monkey King in the script to life. It was refreshing and a big surprise!
"Brother Yi's appearance is so handsome, isn't it!" Zhu Yin, who disagreed with Huang Bo that Li Yi's appearance was too ugly, smiled and touched Li Yi's furry head and retorted.
"If you touch my head again, be careful of me biting you!" Li Yi made a toothy expression at her and said deliberately fiercely.
"Come on! Bite me!" Zhu Yin felt even more excited and reached out to pinch Li Yi's nose. Li Yi immediately opened his mouth and pretended to bite him, which made Zhu Yin scream and slap him again.
, the two of them had fun together.
"Whose two little brats are these? Take them away quickly, otherwise I will stay and make clay pot rice!" Lan Jieying joked with a smile. Huang Bo and others looked at them playing together like children.
Li Yi and Zhu Yin kept laughing and teasing from the sidelines.
Li Yi is still very stable regardless of his external image or in front of his friends.
Zhu Yin has always looked like a good girl in front of them.
But when these two people met, they had some strange chemical reaction, and they became like two naughty children, playing together from time to time, one laughing more heartlessly than the other!!
The first day of filming for "Westward Journey" went extremely smoothly, and the opening three-person scene was shot on the same day.
The second day of filming still featured Li Yi, but this time, he was no longer dressed as Monkey King. Instead, he put on fake eyebrows, a fake beard, and wore coarse clothes to play the role of a bandit leader.
In the morning, we mainly filmed the scene where Uncle Da and others, as well as Lan Jieying's appearance, were a group scene that established conflicts and caused conflicts.
Group scenes have always been the most difficult to shoot, because once one of the actors makes a mistake, the whole scene has to be redone.
Needless to say Uncle Da's acting skills, Lan Jieying is not only good at acting, but also shows off her charm with every smile she makes when she appears.
Another actor who played the role of the blind bandit in the early stage and the Sha Monk in the later stage was also personally selected by Li Yi, and his acting skills were equally remarkable.
However, the co-actors who acted together would make some small mistakes from time to time. Li Yi was also a very experienced director, so he was helpless when encountering such a situation and could only do it a few more times.
But he was still very patient and explained the scene to every actor who made mistakes. It seemed like a waste of time, but not only did he solve the problem at the time, but the error rate was also much less when filming later!
Li Yi's directing ability is evident from this!
Zhu Yin and some young actors were just watching the fun and simply felt that Li Yi was a kind and patient person.
But Huang Bo, who has been a director, and veteran actors such as Mok Wenwei and Lan Jieying, who often deal with different directors in various crews, know that Li Yi is a better director than many directors, and they sincerely admire him!
The morning group scene was successfully filmed, and in the afternoon, it was Li Yi's turn to appear.
It is also an ensemble show, but the performance is centered on Li Yi, and the other actors are just his foil!
"All departments get ready!" Seeing that Li Yi and others were already in place in front of the camera, the assistant director immediately shouted
"start!"
As soon as the camera started, it gave a big close-up of Li Yi's face. It was seen that the hair on his face was extremely thick, his eyebrows were thick and long, and they were connected together, and his beard had grown to the root of his neck!
Li Yi closed his eyes and looked calm, which was in sharp contrast to his funny appearance!
Even though Zhu Yin and others had seen him look like this just now, they still couldn't help but laugh and had a hard time holding back their laughter!
Fortunately, he had personally trained the costars who acted with him in the morning, otherwise they would have laughed in the face of Li Yi like this!
"Why did Chun Shisanniang come to Wuyue Mountain? This female devil has always been full of treasures!"
In the bandit's lair, in an empty space surrounded by several dilapidated mud houses, Li Yi propped up his head, lying on his side on the couch at the door, and spoke slowly and leisurely.
The camera zoomed out, and in the open space in front of him, Uncle Da and others were all kneeling on the ground, holding the coins on their heads with their hands, and looking at him silently.
"Is there going to be a big deal here?" Li Yi muttered to himself, propped himself up, sat down slowly from the recliner, and opened his eyes.
"Huh?" When he saw the hands kneeling there, his eyes suddenly widened, and he cursed angrily: "Why are you idiots putting money on your head?"
After he finished speaking, he stood up and kicked the subordinate closest to him, looking very angry!
"No way, the money is gone and the head is at stake, gang leader!" Uncle Da shouted anxiously.
"What did you say?" Li Yi rushed over immediately, but passed by him, grabbed the extremely obscene actor who played the role of the blind bandit, shouted "Second Master" in a long tone, grabbed the blind man's neck and rushed away
go out!
Uncle Da on the side was dumbfounded!
"How can you be my second boss if you are so stupid?" Li Yi pinched the blind man's neck and asked.
"Help... Gang Leader! I am not the second in charge, I am a blind man! He is the second in charge!" the blind man said hurriedly.
"Yes, I am the second in charge!" Uncle Da said quickly.
"Don't I know?" Li Yi immediately threw the blind man away, faced Uncle Da, pointed and lectured: "I scolded the blind man to make you feel ashamed, and you still ran away!"
As he spoke, he pushed Uncle Da away who was close at hand, chased him aside, pointed at a puppy tied to the well and cursed: "Look at your character, sneaky, shameful, disheveled.
, you look like a dog, how can you come out with me to wander the world! Ah!"
Uncle Da and others were even more stunned. Not only was it necessary for the plot during filming, but they were also deeply impressed by Li Yi's extraordinary acting skills. They couldn't help but have an idea in their hearts, suspecting that Li Yi was really real from time to time.
There's something wrong with my eyes!
Otherwise, the acting would be too similar, there would be no difference between it and the real thing, it would be too natural and smooth!
In a subsequent scene, the script was set up, and the protagonist of the Ax Gang came to life after being hit by the Seven-Injury Fist, turning his eyes into cross-eyes, and even starting to speak like a sissy!
The large scene being filmed now is undoubtedly meant to be funny, but Li Yi always looks serious. However, the more he behaves like this, the stronger the comedy effect and tension will be.
"Stuck!" After Li Yi shouted the last line into the camera, the assistant director shouted to stop.
"Hahahahaha! I can finally laugh. I was really suffocated just now!"
"Brother Yi's performance is really funny!"
“Seriously funny!”
"It's very common to use serious forms to act out serious things to achieve comedic effects, but it's really rare to be able to act as naturally and as funny as Brother Yi!"
"Brother Yi is also great at comedy!"
.......
The other actors and staff all clapped and laughed.
Li Yi took Uncle Da over and watched the footage again in front of the monitor.
"Brother Yi, you performed so well just now! I didn't expect you to be so good at comedy, it was so funny!" Zhu Yin praised.
"That's for sure!!" Huang Bo said with a smile.
"Ada, what do you think of Xiaoyi's performance just now?" Luo Jiayin asked Uncle Da.
"Lao Luo, aren't you asking questions knowingly? Li Yi's performance just now was obviously nonsensical, and the tone he set for this movie is also typical nonsensical."
Uncle Da said without hesitation: "This style seems simple, but it is extremely difficult to master. At present, only Xingxing can perform the essence of it. No matter how others imitate, they can only paint a tiger but not a dog. Not only can they not perform funny
The effect and evocative feeling are more like being separated from each other, making people feel uncomfortable and even disgusting!"
"But Xiaoyi not only performed the essence and taste of it, but also not just imitated it, but had a unique style of his own, even better than..."
The star in Uncle Da's mouth naturally refers to Zhou Xingchi. He didn't finish his words in the end because he and Xingye have known each other and worked together for many years, so it was difficult to say it out loud.
But Luo Jiayin naturally understood what Uncle Da meant. In terms of comedy talent alone, Li Yi was more talented than Zhou Xingchi.
This was also the feeling he had after seeing Li Yi's performance just now. He just hoped to use Uncle Da's words to
Just say it, after all, compared to myself, Uncle Da should have a deeper understanding!!
