Superstars start as villains

Chapter 135 A murder caused by a steamed bun.

"Let's shoot the martial arts scene first, Zhou Xing is still injured." Yu Rentai announced.

Although Zhou Xing's injury is not a serious problem, it is definitely not suitable for high-intensity fighting scenes. In fact, Yu Rentai suggested that he rest for a few days, but Zhou Xing knows that as a Kung Fu starring, he will be absent for a day , the entire crew will lose a lot of money, because all the plots revolve around him.

In the martial arts hall, the field staff stepped up to set up the scene, and the martial arts practitioners were also changing their clothes. Zhou Xing also put on braids and changed into mandarin jackets.

After the martial artists changed their outfits, Xiong Xinxin started to convene with the martial artists under him again to arrange their positions.

"Later Zhou Xing will fight like this, you just block like this, and then"

Xiong Xinxin has almost finished the arrangements, and the scene is also set up. The assistant director reported to Yu Rentai, and Yu Rentai nodded: "Director Xiong, how are you doing?"

"No problem, you can start filming at any time." Xiong Xinxin patted the shoulders of the martial artists and said in a low voice: "Behave well, if anyone embarrasses me, there will be no such showy roles in the future."

As a martial arts instructor, Xiong Xinxin naturally wants to leave the opportunity to show his face to the people he brings. The reason why martial arts are united is actually to a large extent that the two sides need each other. In many cases, ordinary martial arts are unwilling to do some difficult moves. To put it bluntly, they just use money to do things, so there is no need to play with your life.

At this time, it is often your own people who take the lead, the rules of this business, people follow you to film, but if there is a disability, you will have to give a bowl of food from now on, but if you don’t follow the rules, no one will work for him, this business There is no way to do it.

"Fearless, Act 8, Scene 141, action."

In the martial arts hall, Zhou Xingduan was sitting in the center, and a group of apprentices were practicing martial arts. Suddenly, Zhou Xing waved his hand and shouted: "Stop!"

All the apprentices looked at him in a daze, Zhou Xing stood up and walked forward: "If you want to practice martial arts, you have to work hard!"

As he spoke, he punched left and right, causing the apprentices to grit their teeth in pain.

"What is Kung Fu?" Zhou Xing asked, pointing to one of them.

Glancing at the horse stance of the two of them, he kicked one of them over.

"Kung fu is tempered by time." As he said, he slapped and fell to the ground one by one.

"You block." With an understatement, the apprentice fell to the ground.

"You block." It was another punch, and another fell.

Zhou Xing pointed to a group of apprentices and scolded: "Two or three years of cat feet."

Turning around, he steadied his horse, and punched a wooden stake on the side where he was practicing. The back of the stake shattered. Zhou Xing said proudly, "I've spent 20 years with this punch, can you stop it?"

"Practice!" With a wave of his hand, just as he turned around, the stake snapped.

The apprentices stared wide-eyed, looked at his back with horror on their faces, and then quickly practiced.

"Ka, this one is over." Yu Rentai nodded in satisfaction. In this paragraph, Zhou Xing not only showed Huo Yuanjia's young, conceited and hostile side to the fullest, but also showed his love for the word "Kung Fu". The understanding and portrayal are very penetrating.

When Huo Yuanjia was young, he only had opponents in his eyes and kung fu in his heart. He knew very well that everything he did today was brought about by his kung fu. Apart from kung fu, he was nothing, so he wanted to prove that he was better than others. This paragraph echoes that of Nong Jinsun.

Soon it was time for lunch distribution, Zhou Xing specially asked his assistant to order milk tea.

"Come on, Brother Xing invites us to drink milk tea, and thank you Brother Xing." Xiong Xinxin's apprentice greeted.

On a hot day, drinking iced milk tea feels a lot more refreshing, and everyone naturally thinks well of Zhou Xing.

"Thank you brother Xing."

In fact, many martial artists are older than Zhou Xing, but this profession is about status and seniority, so the status is naturally different. Zhou Xing is Liu Jialiang's nephew, and most of them worship under Xiong Xinxin's generation. According to the rules of the generation, you should call Zhou Xing Shishu, and you will not suffer if you call him Brother Xing.

"Thank you for everyone's hard work today." Zhou Xing cupped his hands. Although it was necessary for acting, he moved his hands after all, and his posture should be lowered. You can't take it for granted when you hit someone. After a long time, in the circle The word of mouth also stinks.

During the meal, Yu Rentai brought a young man over and introduced him, "Ah Xing, this is the actor who plays the godson of Master Qin—Xiang Zuo, you should take care of yourself on the set in the future."

Zhou Xing was a little puzzled, this young man seemed to have a good face, so he shouldn't be a popular niche, but Yu Rentai's introduction to him with such preciousness obviously has a background.

Xiong Xinxin pretended to be pouring tea and whispered in Zhou Xing's ear, "Xiang Huaqiang's son."

Only then did Zhou Xing suddenly realize that when it comes to Xiangjiang's most famous black society, there are two people who cannot be avoided, one is Chen Huimin, and the other is Xiang Huaqiang.

The Xiang family has been in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry for many years, and their status is very important. No wonder even Yu Rentai has to sell face.

However, Zhou Xing has never had a good impression of Hei Shihui, and he just nodded to the left, without any intention of being close friends. Isn't Master Xing rejected immigration because he helped make a movie for a powerful company? Dealing is always a hassle.

There are not many scenes for Xiang Zuo, basically he just came here to make some soy sauce to make him familiar. There are only three lines in total, but the only three lines are all scenes with Zhou Xing. It can be seen that Yu Rentai still gives Xiang Hua a lot of face of.

Moreover, Yu Rentai switched to Guyuelou after a few days in order to catch up with the scene to the left. In his hand, at this time he is full of ambition.

At the wine table, a group of people chased after him, and Huo Yuanjia, played by Zhou Xing, was also in high spirits.

"You haven't hit my adoptive father, Master Qin." Suddenly, a sentence came from my ear.

"Twitter close-up on seat two," Yu Rentai said into the intercom.

At this time, in the monitor, the expression on Zhou Xing's face was obviously stunned for a moment, and then turned into anger in an instant. He poured a glass of wine, raised his head and suffocated it, just happened to be toasted by others, and pretended to be heroic. .

"Ka, Zuo, come here." Yu Rentai called Xiang Zuo to him, and pointed to the close-up of his profile on the monitor.

"What kind of mentality do you think Lord Qin's son has towards Huo Yuanjia at this moment?"

"Not angry?" Xiang Zuo subconsciously looked at Zhou Xing.

Yu Rentai nodded and shook his head: "It should be three points of resentment, three points of envy, and four points of jealousy."

"Master Qin is the person you admire the most in your life. He is even willing to die for revenge. Huo Yuanjia is only [-] years old, and he can approach Master Qin in terms of momentum, so every time you see Huo Yuanjia shouting and embracing , he would be envious and jealous, so he opened his mouth to sarcasm."

However, acting not only requires talent, but also requires a strong learning ability. Zuo Zuo seems to have neither of these, and this is his first film. It is impossible to expect him to perform so well. If you are interested in training, gradually you don't care so much, as long as you can get by, that's fine.

Within a few days, Xiang Zuo's role was finished and he left the scene, completing his debut in the film and television industry.

Looking back on the entertainment industry in 2005, it can be regarded as a year of turbulence.

Last year, "Kung Fu" won both the box office titles in the Mainland and Xiangjiang. Although Huang Shengyi, who played the dumb girl, did not have a single line, she became popular with her delicate image. However, after less than a year, Huang Shengyi made the star The father went to court and asked to terminate the contract, which immediately attracted media reports from all over the Taiwan Strait and three places.

Mango TV introduced the Korean TV series "Dae Jang Geum", which caused a boom in ratings as soon as it was broadcast. Seeing this, many local satellite TVs also began to add Korean TV series to the purchasing list. A wave of Korean wave is quietly brewing.

In mid-November [The Promise] officially announced that it will be scheduled for December 11th. Chen Kai also made no secret of his ambition. When interviewed by the media, he said: [The Promise] is scheduled to be the box office champion of the year, and even shouted the slogan of breaking 12 million at the box office. .

In late November, [The Promise] released a trailer. The gorgeous special effects made [The Promise] famous, and Chen Kai was also full of ambition.

On December 12th, [The Promise] was officially released. On the day of its release, it broke the first-day box office record in the mainland with 15 million. Although the audience who watched it generally said that they had no idea what the film was talking about.

But this does not prevent the box office from being hot. [The Promise] reached an astonishing 8200 million box office in the first week, breaking the first-week box office record set by [Kung Fu] last year.

All of a sudden, Brother Chen Kai enjoyed unprecedented courtesy. Many film and television companies and investors came to his door with checks. The madness was no less than that of the old Mouzi after "Hero" was released.

However, what Chen Kai seems to have gotten is an "Old Mouzi Experience Card". Before he can recall it, [Wuji] is almost overwhelmed by overwhelming negative reviews.

Brother Chen Kai naturally didn't pay attention to these negative reviews on the Internet, and even shouted in the media: No one will be able to understand [The Promise] within ten years.

However, after spending money to watch this masterpiece that "no one could understand for ten years", out of righteous indignation, a netizen made an edited version of a spoof video and named it "A Murder Caused by a Steamed Bun".

All of a sudden, the entire network reposted frantically. Under the "spirit of sharing" of the majority of netizens, [The Promise] changed from an "epic blockbuster" to a joke. Many netizens may not have seen the feature film, but they must have seen it.【 A murder caused by a steamed bun].

Brother Chen Kai never dreamed that the fantastic start of [The Promise] would come to an abrupt end. Since the second week of its release, the box office has plummeted.

In this regard, Chen Kai attributed all the responsibility to piracy and "a bloody case caused by a steamed bun", and even threatened to sue the author to court.

In the past, those investors who waved checks to ask Chen Kaige to make a movie have long since disappeared, and the "Lao Mouzi Experience Card" has completely expired.

[The Promise] The final box office was 1.8 million. Although it won the box office champion in 2005, for its 3.4 million investment, it was a loss to grandma's family.

The box office failure of [The Promise] also made many investors realize the market situation. The audience is gradually developing resistance to the model of famous director + big production. It is easy to attract audiences, but to retain audiences, it depends on the quality of the film.
