Superstars start as villains

Chapter 160 Boxer.

"Brother Long, long time no see." Zhou Xing did not expect that the one who came to pick him up was not Xiong Xinxin, but Kwan Zhaolong.

Wrinkle Zhaolong hugged Zhou Xing, then patted him on the shoulder: "How is it? Can you still bear the beating?"

"You'll know if you try it."

The two looked at each other and smiled. The process of making a kung fu film is definitely very painful. To achieve the best visual effects, in many cases it is necessary to fight for real. The strength is enough for a person to drink a pot, and the movements can be designed. It will hurt and hurt if you hit the body, it is inevitable.

However, for kung fu actors, making kung fu movies is a very happy thing, because this is the meaning of their existence. Both Li Lianjie and Chenglong thought about transforming, but in the end they returned to the field of kung fu movies. This is where they are. home.

In recent years, Kung Fu movies have been fading away, and it is not easy to have a big production that can bring everyone together.

"Zhou Xing, it is rumored that Dongfang Film and Television invested 1000 million US dollars to create this police action movie tailored for you. Is it true?" Zhou Xing and Kwan Zhaolong were blocked by reporters before leaving the airport.

In fact, the Xiangjiang entertainment circle has been a sensation these days, and the establishment of the [Fuse] project cannot be hidden in the circle at all, but Huang Baiming has not announced the candidate for the leading actor, and this time the director is Ye Weixin, everyone generally agrees I think this drama is another collaboration between him and Zhen Zi.

However, until yesterday [Fuse Line] crew announced the list of actors, there was no such thing as Zhen Bullet at all, and Zhou Xing's name was impressively written on the position of the male number one.

For a while, there was a lot of controversy in the whole Xiangjiang. It's not that Zhou Xing's coffee position is not enough to be the leading actor in this drama, but from an emotional point of view, some Xiangjiang media are more inclined to Zhen Bullet. After all, he is "" One of our own", while Zhou Xing was always an "outsider".

In fact, with Zhou Xing's rise to fame over the years, Xiangjiang's showbiz also tried to "absorb" Zhou Xing and turn him into "one of his own", but Zhou Xing didn't accept this at all. I haven't been back to Xiangjiang, and I finally went back to Xiangjiang to shoot a few movies in the past two years, and then went back to the mainland after the filming.

This makes people uncomfortable, but Zhen Bullet is different. He has always regarded himself as an action actor in Xiangjiang, so he naturally looks much more pleasing to the eye.

However, it is useless to be pleasing to the eye. The most important thing for Xiangjiang movies is the box office. They are all big sellers. In terms of box office appeal, Zhen Bullets are far behind.

This is the most uncomfortable thing for the paparazzi. According to the usual methods of the Xiangjiang paparazzi, they naturally want to provoke a conflict between Zhou Xing and Zhen Bullet, and then the fans of both parties will tear each other up, so they can fan the flames.

However, the difference in strength between the two sides is too far, the fans are tearing up, but most of the neutral audience are on Zhou Xing's side, alas, it's just someone who doesn't live up to expectations!
"For questions about this film, I think you will get answers at the launch conference. This is a public place, so everyone should leave to avoid disturbing other passengers." Zhou Xing and Wrinkle Zhaolong finally Get into the business car.

"Phew, it's been a long time since Hong Kong Kung Fu movies have had such a big battle." Kwan Zhaolong felt a little relieved, but also a little lonely. The golden age of Hong Kong Kung Fu movies created by Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Tomorrow at [-] o'clock, the script study meeting, go to bed early."

Zhou Xing nodded, he was indeed a little tired, and was about to go to bed, so he called his assistant Xiaomei over.

"Ahem, Central is nearby, don't you plan to go shopping?"

Xiaomei was struck by lightning: "Boss, you, how did you know that I was going to slip away?"

"Oh, I said, why do you bring such a big suitcase with you every time you come back to Xiangjiang? Do you bring goods with you? Is it because you are too free? Or are there too many year-end bonuses?"

Xiaomei tried to escape the catastrophe with a smirk: "Hehe. The boss's life is difficult, and he only earns some living expenses. You should show your hand and let me go."

"It's not impossible for me to let you go." Zhou Xing leaned on the sofa and glanced at her.

As soon as Xiaomei heard that there was a door, she quickly patted her chest: "Boss, what orders do you have, go up the knife mountain and down the oil pan, and you will do whatever you want!"

"Yeah." Zhou Xing nodded in satisfaction: "That's all right, you can help me bring some sets of women's cosmetics."

Xiaomei's face immediately turned green: "Boss, don't make trouble, a set of top-notch cosmetics costs tens of thousands, aren't you trying to kill me?"

Before she finished speaking, Xiaomei got hit on the head, and Zhou Xing said in a bad mood: "You have to save this little life for me to be a cow and a horse. You take this card, and when the matter is done, you can also take care of it." Give you a set."

"I'm sure you're satisfied." Xiaomei changed her sincere and sincere face in seconds, it's a pity that she doesn't mix in the showbiz at such a speed.

"However, who are you going to give these cosmetics to?"

Zhou Xing glared at her: "What are you asking for?"

"No, you have to tell me her age, right? Otherwise, what if I sell it wrong?"

"What does it have to do with age? Aren't all cosmetics the same?"

Xiaomei rolled her eyes secretly, she was indeed a straight man of steel, and she immediately popularized science: "Women's skin properties are different in each age group, and the efficacy of cosmetics is also different. For example, the cosmetics of 20-year-old girls usually focus on acne, oil, and acne. For these whitening effects, 30-year-old women focus on hydration and skin tightening.”

"In his early twenties." Zhou Xing thought to himself, but fortunately he didn't go to buy it himself, there are so many tricks in it.

"Oh~~~ Is it for someone?" Xiaomei's eyes lit up, with a proud expression of a detective solving a case.

"Hurry up, there's so much nonsense here." Zhou Xing became furious, and gave her a head-scratching blow.

No words for a night, turn the sky, Dongfang Film and Television.

All the main creators, including the boss Huang Baiming, gathered in the conference room.

"Ah Xing, have you read the script? What do you think?" Huang Baiming called the names directly.

Fan Bingbing was envious for a while. With her current status, she was barely qualified to be an observer. Even if she had an opinion, no one would listen to her. However, Zhou Xing was the first one called by the boss Huang Baiming to ask for an opinion. It can be seen that his influence.

In fact, it is normal for Huang Baiming to do this. The main focus of kung fu movies is on kung fu stars, and other things are secondary, and Zhou Xing's status is also worthy of such treatment.

Zhou Xing didn't refuse either: "I don't have any other opinions, I just feel that my two emotional dramas are a bit procrastinated, and it doesn't promote the plot of the whole drama."

Xu Qing's face changed when she heard that, because these two emotional scenes were her roles, if they were all cut off, the audience would not even be able to remember the name of her role in the movie.

Ye Weixin didn't expect that Zhou Xing would be the first to strike at him, and he was so ruthless, it was equivalent to cutting off all his literary and opera parts.

Not only Ye Weixin, but everyone present including the screenwriter was dumbfounded. Zhou Xing actually thought that he had too many roles, so he cut the role for himself?

Most of the people at the scene were stunned, only Fan Bingbing was the happiest, because in this way, she became the female character with the most roles in the film, a well-deserved number one female character!

"Well, I also feel that these two scenes are a bit procrastinated. If that's the case, let's cut them off. After the screenwriting team goes down, I will modify these two parts." Ye Weixin made a decision.

In fact, there is no big problem with the literary drama. The plot of this drama is not novel, it is nothing more than the story of the police undercover and then arresting the gangsters.

The real difficulty lies in martial arts. The main reason why kung fu movies are declining more and more is aesthetic fatigue. Cheng Long and Li Lianjie have pushed the pattern of kung fu movies to the peak. They have presented the most dangerous and gorgeous moves to the audience, so When the audience watches other kung fu movies, no matter how they look at it, they feel that it is nothing more than this.

"I don't know if you have seen a Thai action movie [Boxer]." During this period of time, Zhou Xing was not just about falling in love with Tong Lia.

Many people at the scene were bewildered, but Xiong Xinxin and Kwan Zhaolong's eyes lit up, and they almost said in unison: "Tony Jia?"

Zhou Xing nodded: "That's right, Tony Jia's recent momentum is very strong, and he has promoted Thai kung fu movies to the world by himself, which shows that this kind of kung fu movies that are biased towards actual combat still have great market potential, what do you think? "

Xiong Xinxin and Kwan Zhaolong looked at each other and nodded. It is true that there are accidental factors for a certain style of movie to become popular, but more of it is inevitable, which shows that this style of movie itself has an audience base.

"Could it be that we want to add Muay Thai to the action design?" Xiong Xinxin frowned slightly, he didn't quite accept this kind of follow-up approach.

Huang Baiming didn't care at all, whether he would be said to be a fool, his only purpose was to make money from this drama, if it wasn't for Tony Jia's high net worth, he would even invite the deity.

Zhou Xing thought for a while: "In the past two years, there has been a very popular mixed martial arts event in the United States, called MMA. The competition allows fighters to use boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, wrestling, Taekwondo, karate, judo, Sanda, Jeet Kune Do, etc. Skills, the fighting scene is very realistic and beautiful, can we invite some experts to cooperate with the design of the action?"

Wrinkle Zhaolong's eyes brightened: "This idea is good. I actually went to watch an MMA match in the United States. It was really exciting. If you can integrate some of the techniques they use into the movements, the fight will definitely be very exciting. cool."

"Just like this, won't it be more likely to be injured?" Ye Wei said his worries. To put it bluntly, normal fighting is already dangerous enough, and then add those movements such as hugging and throwing.
Zhou Xing said in a deep voice: "Director Ye, we have no choice. Everyone is making progress. Now even Thai kung fu movies have gone global. If we still stick to our old ways, we will be eliminated sooner or later."

"No, it should be said that we have been eliminated!"
