"Breaking news that Zhou Xingchi has joined the cast of "The Truman Show" and will star in a movie again after four years!"
"Comedy masters and commercial film masters join forces, what kind of sparks can Li Qian and Zhou Xingchi collide with!"
"An insider of "The Truman Show" broke the news that Zhou Xingchi has already joined the cast and will play an important role in the movie!"
"Zhou Xingchi, who has retired from acting, does not even appear in his own movies. What kind of movie is "The Truman Show" and how attractive is it to attract Zhou Xingchi to join it?"
There are hundreds of people in the crew, so there is no way to hide the fact that Zhou Xingchi joined the cast.
He arrived a month ago and left on the same day. Except for a few people, no one knew that Zhou Xingchi would participate in the show.
But in the past few days, Zhou Xingchi has been on the set for a week. Although he has not yet had a role, no matter how stupid he is, he knows that Zhou Xingchi will definitely appear.
There are so many people in the crew, all kinds of extras and low-level staff. If everything is not guaranteed, who will reveal it to the media.
The media was very interested in the comedy master Zhou Xingchi joining Li Qian's comedy film. As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused large-scale reports.
The audience was also surprised that Zhou Xingchi did not even act in his own new film "Journey to the West and Conquer the Demons", but instead acted in Li Qian's film. The key point is that this is also a comedy, so that is very important.
"I'll go, no way, Master Xing is filming again, didn't he say he's going to retire?"
"Isn't it all reported by the media? Mr. Xing has never said this. It must be that he is too tired to direct and act, so he doesn't act in his own movie."
"Now that's good, Li Qian's comedy will be joined by Xingye. It's a sure shot. I'm looking forward to it more and more."
"I still hope that Li Qian will have his own style and not copy Zhou Xingchi's comedy style."
"It must not be a nonsensical comedy. Now that you are so old, it will definitely not have the same effect. I don't know how embarrassing it will be by then."
"Li Qian should be able to make more in-depth films. Business and art coexist. And didn't he say it before? It's different from any comedy movie in the world at the moment. It focuses on creativity and imagination."
"In any case, it is definitely a good thing for Mr. Xing to join him. He has not acted in other people's films in the past few years. He must have a very high vision. It means that Li Qian's script is very good, so he can invite Mr. Xing."
Li Qian's comedy film has Zhou Xingchi joining the cast. The audience is happy, but the major companies that are rivals are not happy.
Everyone knows Chow Sing-chi's appeal and ability, even though he hasn't made a movie in four years.
However, "Kung Fu" defeated "House of Flying Daggers" and "A World Without Thieves" to become the box office champion in 2004, and the box office of "Yangtze River No. 7" also exceeded 200 million.
In the past few years, this result has been among the top in the country.
Moreover, Zhou Xingchi is as popular as Cheng Long and Jet Li in China. His comedies are what those born in the 80s and 90s have grown up watching.
What's more important is that Li Qian's movie is also a comedy, so this collaboration will definitely have a huge impact.
Major companies, including Huang Zhongjun, who had always been confident before, are starting to become a little worried.
But the worries don't stop with this company. Just two days ago, they contacted Zhou Xingchi to inquire about the film's post-production process and wanted to win the distribution rights.
As a result, Zhou Xingchi said that the distribution rights had been handed over to Li Qian.
One of the most important goals for next year just flew away and was snatched away by Li Qian.
In addition, Zhou Xingchi also starred in Li Qian's new film. The two things combined made Huang Zhongjun very worried.
He was even thinking about whether to change his plans for the Lunar New Year holiday.
However, within two days, there were media reports that Li Qian and Zhou Xingchi were suspected of having a dispute on the set and that the two were at odds.
At this time, Huang Zhongjun put the worry he had just mentioned into his stomach again.
"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If two tigers fight, one of them will be injured!" He laughed, changed his plan, and just faced it head-on.
Zhou Xingchi has a weird temper, and Li Qian is not someone to be trifled with. The two of them bumped into each other. If something happened, it would be abnormal, but if nothing happened, it would be abnormal.
Let alone Li Qian’s comedy, it’s good if it doesn’t mess up!
The media fabricated various news about disputes and conflicts between Zhou Xingchi and Li Qian on the set, which also aroused concerns among movie fans. After all, there are criminal records in the industry.
Li Qian was also happy to see it. Farts have always been what the media is good at. They brought out all the things about Jiang Wen and Lu Chuan and told them so vividly, as if they were at the scene.
But it didn't affect Li Qian, and Zhou Xingchi never cared about things on the Internet. No one told him, and he didn't even know.
The crew of "The Truman Show" is filming as usual, and has also begun filming Zhou Xingchi's scenes.
The producer's scenes are all in a fixed place, that is, in the studio staring at the high-hanging moon. The moon is actually the base camp of the crew.
However, the scenes in the base camp and the control room in The Moon were all staged in the studio.
In June, Zhou Xingchi's first scene began in the studio.
Li Qian doesn't need to say anything. One and a half months is enough for Zhou Xingchi to fully understand this role. An actor of this level doesn't need much.
"First scene, one shot at a time!"
"start!"
Start shooting directly, a very simple shot, a person is sitting there, and a camera is facing him for a close-up on his face.
You don’t even need to change your makeup, hairstyle, or clothes. The only thing you have to do is to make him look older. After all, the show has lasted for 30 years. The person who can do this show must be a producer with great power and have the resources.
and connections, it’s an exaggeration to have this ability in your 30s.
"We are tired of actors' pretentiousness, and we are also tired of various explosions, car chases and computer special effects.
In some ways, although Truman lives in a fictional world, he himself is not fake at all."
When it comes to Truman, this miracle that he has created over the past 30 years, Zhou Xingchi's eyes gradually light up and he is very proud.
His tone began to lower and his speaking speed slowed down, as if he was recounting his great achievements.
"There is no script, no teleprompter, but it is true to form. This is a true record of life."
"Pass!"
Just once again, Zhou Xingchi’s performance just now was impeccable, as if he was talking about the work of art he created.
No problem, I started the next scene directly. Needless to say, the majesty of killing Zhou Xingchi was deliberately retaken several times. It was unnecessary and there were no conflicts. The crew was very harmonious.
The next scene of Zhou Xingchi was a remote video interview in the monitoring room. Zhou Xingchi was also allowed to rest for half an hour before filming.
"The income from this program is astonishing, equivalent to the annual gross national product of some small countries." The host talked about the program.
Regarding this, Zhou Xingchi was not too proud, but said, "But you have to know that this program also needs a country to maintain it."
The host continued, "It is broadcast 24 hours a day without any interruptions, so all the income comes from product placement?"
Zhou Xingchi nodded, "Indeed, everything on the show is for sale, clothes, shoes, TVs, refrigerators, cars, anything that appears on the show."
"I would like to ask, why Truman never discovered the truth?"
"Everyone will accept the reality in front of them, it's that simple." Zhou Xingchi said matter-of-factly, his tone also lowered here, as if he was talking about a philosophy of life.
Zhou Xingchi's performance is similar to Li Qian's previous thoughts on the role. The only adaptation is that he acted more naturally and positioned himself more correctly.
And when performing, although most of his faces are expressionless, Zhou Xingchi's expressionless face is not like usual. Normally when he has no expression, he will look very melancholy, as if he is in a bad mood.
But as soon as the filming started, all those melancholy disappeared. Even though his face was expressionless, you could see his pride and aloof look.
He is playing a god who is in charge of everything. He has no superfluous expressions. There is no joy, anger, sorrow or joy in his expression, but it can make people feel it. When he talks about The Truman, his expression almost does not change, but the speed and intonation of his speech are slightly different.
Changes give people different feelings.
I took two shots and took a break.
Zhou Xingchi, who had been sitting and resting, suddenly said, "Maybe Truman is not the focus of this world, advertising is."
"How do you say it?" Li Qian asked.
Zhou Xingchi shook his head, "The audience is attracted by the false "real" Truman and is willing to pay time, emotion, and money for the utopia in their hearts. The producers are taking advantage of people's psychology and selling "beauty" in order to maintain
Truman.
But once this layer of sugar coating is peeled off, what’s inside is all kinds of advertisements, all kinds of moral kidnappings, and capitalists’ pursuit of capital.”
Li Qian laughed and said, "Similar to reality, celebrities create various personas for themselves, whether they are pure, strong, or domineering, all in order to attract audiences and let them support their movies, TV shows, and endorsements.
paid for the advertising.”
The truth is very simple, Fan Binbin said "I won't marry a wealthy family, I am a wealthy family" and attracted many fans. It's the same.
"With the development of the Internet era, strong communication and affluence of life, it is estimated that more and more celebrities will create characters to "cheat" fans' money. It is even possible that capitalists will try their best to create characters that meet the needs of the audience.
When a star comes out, it's like the producers created a Truman to sell advertising."
Li Qian thought for a while, and his eyes lit up, "For example, people's lives have become richer, the Internet has developed, and there are more and more young Internet users who do not have perfect discrimination ability, which is equivalent to a crop of mature leeks.
Capitalists have created "Trumans" one after another. These Trumans are like sickles. Use these sickles to harvest the leeks of fans. The leeks grow one after another. When the sickles are blunt, for example, Truman ran away.
, they will also create other Trumans and use these new sickles to continue harvesting leeks."
"Sickle and leek?" Zhou Xingchi was greatly surprised by Li Qian's idea. He didn't expect that this definition could be used.
In this way, in the movie, Truman is the sickle, and the countless viewers watching the live broadcast are the leeks. The capitalists hold this sickle and harvest the leeks one after another.
Zhou Xingchi admires Li Qian endlessly. His ideas are always so unexpected and quite reasonable.
