Superstars start as villains

Chapter 119 The Gap.

In fact, Jiang Zhiqiang also has a headache about martial arts guidance. Good martial arts directors only have a few sets of teams, Chenglong's married team, Yuan Heping's Yuan family team, Hong Jinbao's Hong family team, and Cheng Xiaodong's Cheng family team.

Cheng Long’s family-making class basically only serves him alone, and he can’t get money. Hong Jinbao’s Hong’s class rarely takes on outside work, and basically shoots for his own company. Yuan Heping’s schedule is not coincidental. Originally, Jiang Zhiqiang I was more inclined towards Cheng Xiaodong until Zhou Xing recommended Xiong Xinxin to him.

First of all, the overall style of Huo Yuanjia's film is more documentary, which is the strength of Liu Jiaban, a hard bridge and a hard horse. Secondly, Cheng Xiaodong's asking price is relatively high. If you use Xiong Xinxin, you can save a lot of money.

Liu Jiaban had just finished filming Seven Swords and hadn’t received a job yet. The two hit it off immediately. Liu Jialiang heard that Zhou Xing had recommended them to Jiang Zhiqiang. He was more satisfied with Zhou Xing, his nephew. His wife liked him very much.

When Xiong Xinxin called Zhou Xing to thank him, he was already on his way to the airport.

"Senior brother, don't be too polite, I'm just talking about it, you still have enough ability for this job."

The more Zhou Xing said that, the more moved Xiong Xinxin was. Why can't you rely on relationships these days?Especially in this line of work, it doesn't mean that you can do it if you have the ability, if there is no recommendation from Zhou Xing, Jiang Zhiqiang probably would never have thought of Liu's class at all, so why would he let him be a martial arts instructor?

It's just that Xiong Xinxin is not very good at expressing, she wanted to say something but couldn't open her mouth.

"Brother Xiong, I'm about to board the plane, let's talk again when I come back."

"Okay, I'll buy you a drink when I come back."

"Huh? Still drinking?"

In order to restore the plot in the manga to the greatest extent, Mai Zhaohui set the shooting location at Haruna Mountain in RB Niigata, which is also the prototype of the manga Akina Mountain, including the most famous five-series hairpin bend, all of which are real .

"Ah Xing, long time no see. I heard that it's your first time in RB, so you should take a good look around. The hot springs here are quite good." Mai Zhaohui personally picked him up at the airport, which was considered a great deal of face.

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Is that so? You have to see and see."

What the crew rented him was not a hotel, but a homestay similar to an izakaya. According to Mai Zhaohui, this would help him integrate into the environment.

The owner of the homestay is a very kind RB little old man. Through the translator Zhou Xing, I found out that he is not yet 50 years old, but his wife looks quite young. She looks about 35 years old. She is not beautiful, but It was so charming that Mai Zhaohui even cast an ambiguous look at Zhou Xing.

Of course, Zhou Xing only rested for two days before he formally joined the team. He hadn't even been to the hot springs. The accompanying assistant girl said regretfully that this trip was for nothing.

The cast of this drama can be regarded as including the promising actors of the new generation of Xiangjiang. Mr. Chen plays Takahashi Ryosuke, Yu Wenle plays Nakazato, and Brother Xiaochun plays Sudo Kyoichi.

Teacher Chen and Yu Wenle have cooperated with Zhou Xing in Infernal Affairs, and they both have a good relationship. When they see Zhou Xing, they greet each other politely and call "Brother Xing"

Brother Xiaochun was always on the sidelines, and Zhou Xing didn't care much about it. He is not RMB, so it is impossible for everyone to like him, and like Brother Xiaochun, his likes and dislikes are all on his face, but it is more real.

Of course, with Zhou Xing's current status, Brother Xiaochun is not enough. To put it bluntly, if you don't show signs of being with Zhou Xing, the only one who suffers in the end is himself.

At the same time, Zhou Xing also met the heroine in the film, she is a very pure-looking girl, I heard that she is only 18 years old, Zhou Xing does not understand Japanese, so she just said hello and did not communicate any more.

The plot of Initial D is relatively simple. It can be said that it is an idol drama dressed in a racing car. Zhou Xing does not need to devote too much acting skills to such a movie. It is enough to be handsome and cool.

For Zhou Xing, the real difficulty is driving instead. Although a lot of racing car drifting scenes in this movie are done by professional drivers from RB, but as an actor, at least you have to look good, this is the most basic requirements.

In order to let Zhou Xing and the others experience the thrill of drag racing, Mai Zhaohui even let several leading actors sit in the co-pilot for a racing competition.

Zhou Xing watched his body sticking to the guardrail and swaying out of the curve at the limit, his whole body was tense, especially when passing five consecutive hairpin turns, it was so sour.
When getting off the bus at the end, Zhou Xing almost vomited, but looking back, Teacher Chen and the others all vomited in a mess.

The difficulty of shooting Initial D lies not in the actors, but in the racing shots. In Zhou Xing's words: this movie is a bit expensive. There are six crashed cars alone. Even stunt drivers can't guarantee it. Every time the drifting and drag racing can reach the most perfect state, once there is a little mistake in high-speed driving, the consequences will be disastrous. Fortunately, only a few stunt drivers were slightly injured.

While chatting with Mai Zhaohui, Zhou Xing learned that half of the investment in this movie was spent on racing scenes, not just stunt drivers, but more post-production special effects. In fact, the real racing scenes of this movie, even the whole The length of the play is less than one-fifth, but the cost is so high, it turns out that the special effects are burning money.

"By the way, the filming of this film is almost over, do you have any inspiration?" Mai Zhaohui finally couldn't hold back.

Zhou Xing froze for a moment, then remembered that he had promised to write a song for this film.

"Ahem, I have some clues, don't worry, I will definitely not delay the promotion of this film."

Zhou Xing finally fulfilled his promise before the film crew finished filming.

At the wrap-up banquet, Teacher Chen suggested: "By the way, it's your first time to come to RB, right? How about I show you around?"

The rest of them readily agreed that in Xiangjiang, paparazzi would often follow them. After a long time, being an artist would inevitably feel depressing. It was different in RB. No one knew them here. Let Xiangjiang paparazzi come to RB to take a sneak shot.

Zhou Xing could only regretfully say: "You guys have fun, I have to go back to the mainland to participate in the promotion of Seven Swords."

Immediately, the noisy people fell silent, Seven Swords!That's Mr. Xu's movie!What's it like to play the leading role in Mr. Xu's movie?If it were them, I'm afraid they would laugh like crazy in their dreams, right?

Looking at Zhou Xing again, the understatement seems to be just a trivial thing, but after thinking about it, it seems to be right, after all, Zhou Xing also played the leading role in the National Teacher's "Ambush from Ten Daggers", it should be considered Are you used to it?
Teacher Chen and Yu Wenle couldn't help but feel bitter. Like them, Zhou Xing had acted in "Infernal Affairs", but since then, Zhou Xing has been on the rise, and what about them?The Xiangjiang media touts them as the leaders of the new generation, but in fact the gap with Zhou Xing is not even a star.
