Entertainment Empire

Magic City Longchang Apartment.

The predecessor of the patrol house designed by the British is nearly a hundred years old and later became a protected cultural relic in Shanghai.

In "Kung Fu".

This is called the Pig Cage Walled City.

Luo Xun is not unfamiliar with everything here, because he has seen the completed "Kung Fu", and the movie also used a lot of ink to depict this distinctive slum.

Shabby green wall.

The most common old public housing.

Five floors surround the courtyard, which is extremely spacious. Each floor is connected by a long public corridor, like an oval runway. Behind the corridor are rooms of various sizes like birdcages, and standing in the courtyard Looking up, it looks like a frog sitting in a well looking at the sky, and it looks like a courtyard building like the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

a few days ago.

The crew closed the scene.

After receiving the money from the crew, the original residents moved out long ago and will not come back until the filming of the movie is completed. Naturally, the crew of "Kung Fu" will be stationed in their place instead. However, there was no scene with Luo Xun a few days before the filming started, so it was more Most of the time, he was on the set watching other people's performances at close range, and he also watched director Zhou Xingchi's plays at close range.

Sauce bursts.

Buck-toothed treasure.

The tenant-in-law charters the tenant-in-law.

There are also coolies and so on.

These artists who left classic images in their previous lives are now performing familiar scenes vividly in front of Luo Xun's eyes, allowing Luo Xun to see the shining side of these gold medal supporting actors.

What makes Luo Xun even more interesting is...

These performances were not completed overnight, but were accumulated through practice. According to Luo Xun, Zhou Xingchi had already ordered the actors who played the Pig Cage Walled City to live here for a period of time in advance, completely following the script. Ask to live here.

This is the Hollywood model.

Only actors over there would get to know a character well, to understand deeply and experience the life of the character. There are not many actors in China who have done this. This gave Luo Xun a reference. If the role requires him in the future, he will also Be willing to experience the life of the character on the ground.

"start!"

Today's scene is that Zhou Xingchi takes his partner Fatty to the Pig Cage Walled City to have his head shaved. The trick is to extort money. Fatty is responsible for relying on appearance, but the whole scene is on Zhou Xingchi...

Zhou Xingchi doesn't use much force in his acting.

But that feeling of lifting weight with ease made it difficult to look away from him. Seeing the other person's acting at such a close distance, Luo Xun suddenly felt the other person's acting skills. It was an indescribable feeling, which brought Zhou The unique flavor of his comedy made Luo Xun vaguely look forward to what would happen if he and Zhou Xingchi acted together.

Except for this.

What impressed Luo Xun the most was undoubtedly Zhou Xingchi's level of trouble. He had an almost demanding pursuit of movies, even to a level that many people couldn't understand.

Often it's just a simple shot.

It actually required everyone to reshoot it countless times before they were satisfied.

This made Luo Xunguang, who was accustomed to the acting method of TV dramas, feel at a loss just watching. He had acted in movies in his previous life, so he naturally knew that movies and TV had completely different high requirements and standards. If you want to make a comparison, Zhou Xingchi's movies are even more Like a higher requirement that is completely different from ordinary movies.

Higher standards!

This is quite a big leap.

In fact, not only Luo Xun is not adaptable, but a group of veteran actors in Xiangjiang are also a little uncomfortable. If an actor with little qualifications is asked to retake a hundred times, the actor will do it, but it is a bit difficult to ask the veteran actors to do the same. , sometimes it is not just a matter of feeling tired physically, but also a matter of losing face.

"Treat everyone equally."

This is the characteristic of Zhou Xingchi.

After the filming of the movie, there seems to be no big difference in Zhou Xingchi's mind, no matter big names or small actors. Some actors who have worked with Zhou Xingchi are okay, but those big names who have collaborated with Zhou Xingchi for the first time are a little unhappy, okay. In "Double Mondays", there are several big mountains in the Hong Kong film industry. No matter what kind of request is made, the final result is that Zhou Xingchi can suppress it.

that's all.

Luo Xun observes every day.

I stayed on the set for five full days.

Five days later, it was finally Luo Xun's turn to play the role, and he starred directly with Zhou Xingchi, because Luo Xun played the leader of the Ax Gang, and this character appeared with Zhou Xingchi in more than one scene in the film.

Morning.

Luo Xun started putting on makeup.

The scene outside is almost ready.

Zhou Xingchi completed the makeup first and directed on the set. After experiencing the training of "Shaolin Football", Zhou Xingchi is now a very mature director and is no stranger to the trinity model.

"All departments are prepared."

Zhou Xingchi is ready for everything...

The assistant director temporarily took over the direction, and the actors took their respective positions. Luo Xun, wearing a suit and slicked back hair, sat at the designated position. The first scene started from his side.

Big back head.

Luo Xun's current image is undoubtedly a bit like the gangster movies of the 1980s and 1990s. The makeup was personally designed by Zhou Xingchi. It is not much different from the original Chen Guokun, but his face is undoubtedly more handsome.

There is also a hint of neurosis.

When talking about the original version, we can't forget the black teeth that Chen Guokun had when he played this role. The character setting of Luo Xun from the original version was also inherited intact, as if it had been dyed.

Luo Xun looked in the mirror.

Because he has a more handsome face than the original version, which is a natural advantage of his facial features, so when he shows his black teeth, the contrast is even stronger. Of course, the effect of the black teeth is made with special materials. Brushing more often The teeth can be brushed clean after a few times without harming Luo Xun's teeth.

"I won't tell you any drama."

Zhou Xingchi, who was directing the movie on the set, seemed to be two different people from him after the work was over. He could usually talk and laugh, but now he spoke with a businesslike attitude: "Luo Xun, as long as you act according to the development direction of the movie, you can use You can improvise the lines in the script, don’t worry about me not being able to catch it. If I improvise, you have to do your best to catch it.”

Luo Xun nodded.

If some actors are not suitable for Zhou Xingchi's style, Luo Xun feels that this mode is more suitable for him. Although he can dance under the conditions of shooting, the complete freedom of expression is truly enjoyable!

So he took to the water like a fish in water.

Today's scene tells the story of the first meeting between Zhou Xingchi and Brother Chen in the movie. Originally, the Ax Gang planned to kill Zhou Xingchi. After all, Zhou Xingchi pretended to be a member of the Ax Gang and went out to extort money. However, Zhou Xingchi escaped death by using lock-picking skills. He saw value in his eyes, so he didn't kill him immediately. Instead, he asked him to kill someone and join the Ax Gang.

The actors exchanged words with each other.

Five minutes later, the assistant director called to start.

Luo Xun had started to adjust a few minutes ago, and now he found the feeling of the character more accurately. He sat lazily on the chair, being served by a four-eyed horse boy, smoking a big cigarette in his mouth, and looking at the big picture Surrounded by smoke, Luo Xun showed an expression of intoxication and enjoyment, and gently closed his eyes.

"This kid..."

"The acting is pretty good."

"You can actually learn the depth of it."

Whether in Hong Kong or the Mainland, this kind of scene of opium smoking can be seen in many movies and TV series. Many actors and even some veteran actors have performed such plots accurately or poorly. Originally, the crew The Xiangjiang actors in it thought that most of Luo Xun couldn't portray that feeling.

But the way Luo Xun looks at this moment...

To anyone, this guy looked like he was addicted to smoking. This was Luo Xun's experience from watching performances in other movies countless times in the past.

As for smoking?

I can't say I like Luo Xun, but I'm definitely not unfamiliar with him, because he smoked in his previous life. Many times, if the role requires that the character he plays is a smoker, he must learn to smoke, and even smoke without leaving his hand.

In Luo Xun's view.

This is just a work requirement, just like trying to gain weight and muscle to play Murong Fu. You can do it when you need it, and you can naturally stop it after filming and return to your original self.

"Click."

At this time, a boy beside him accidentally knocked over the tea cup. Luo Xun slowly opened his eyes, and the intoxication in his eyes gradually faded away. The boy immediately said in a trembling voice: "Brother Chen, I'm sorry, Brother Chen, I was wrong, Brother Chen …”

"It's okay."

Luo Xun smiled gently.

This smile made Zhou Xingchi in the distance slightly stunned. He had just told Luo Xun that he could change the script and play freely, but he didn't expect Luo Xun to act in the opposite direction as soon as he came up!

In the original script.

Luo Xun here should have stood up directly and knocked this boy away with a nonchalant expression. But judging from his current behavior, Luo Xun, the leader of the Ax Gang, is actually particularly gentle.

gentle?

Zhou Xingchi narrowed his eyes.

This is the first scene. There are no lines from him, and there are no shots of him in the previous scenes, so there is no need to hide any emotions. I just quietly watch Luo Xunfang's performance. Apart from Zhou Xingchi, the other group of veteran actors Bones also looked at each other. How could Brother Chen, the boss of the Ax Gang, be so good-tempered?

"Thank you, Brother Chen!"

The boy obviously breathed a sigh of relief and looked like he was crying with gratitude, while Luo Xun's Ma Zai suddenly glared and said, "What are you doing standing there? Didn't you see that Brother Chen wants to drink tea? Believe it or not, I will chop you to death!"

"Yes yes yes!"

Ma Zai quickly continued pouring tea.

Luo Xun stood up and looked at Ma Zai with some reproach: "I know how to fight and kill all day long. I am still a child. Even if you are a gangster, you have to learn to be tolerant."

"Yes, yes..."

The four-eyed Ma Zai smiled like a dog, but the smile froze before it disappeared. Luo Xun suddenly waved the cigarette rod and hit his younger brother's temple.

thump.

The younger brother flew away.

Of course, the filming of this scene was completed by borrowing, but perhaps Luo Xun's performance just now was too gentle, and even the actor who played the four-eyed horseboy was deceived, so that Luo Xun's sudden swing made him I shuddered subconsciously!

tolerant?

Please forgive me, sister!

Luo Xun staggered down the steps, weighing the bloody cigarette rod in his hand, and suddenly raised his voice, his tone full of anger and regret: "We, the Ax Gang, have always been the only ones to bully others, and no one has ever dared to Bullying our Ax Gang, we have lost so many brothers today just because of these two things, I feel so bad!”

Luo Xun beat his chest hard.

His eyes were slightly red.

This extremely inflammatory scene immediately moved the members of the Ax Gang. The members of the Ax Gang looked at each other and looked at Luo Xun, who was grieving for his brothers' injuries, and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice:

"Brother Chen."

"Brother Chen!"

"Brother Chen!!..."

A touching scene was being performed. The four-eyed henchman had someone drag the axe that Luo Xun had just beaten to death with his younger brother across the center. A long line of blood was left on the floor, like a black humor.

"Brother Chen."

The four-eyed henchman stepped forward like a lackey, lit a cigarette for Luo Xun, and pointed at Zhou Xingchi and Fatty on the stage:

"These two people?"

"Chop them up and feed them to the dogs."

Luo Xun said casually while spitting out smoke. The previous anger and dissatisfaction seemed to disappear in an instant. It was an extreme casualness, so casual that people doubted whether Luo Xun would remember what he said in a while.

At this moment.

Many crew members who were watching this scene had goose bumps and their hair stood up.

"Click."

Zhou Xingchi said: "Do it again."

The people around were stunned. Didn't Zhou Xingchi like this tune? Even Luo Xun raised his head unexpectedly and nodded immediately. He didn't know where he was wrong, but if Zhou Xingchi didn't point it out, he could only adjust it himself.

"You guys."

Zhou Xingchi looked at the extras of the Axe Gang: "The reaction of being moved by the big brother should be more intense. Whoever can cry should make the feeling of tears welling up in the eyes. Let's start filming again from the second half. The first half is very good."

Zhou Xingchi looked at Luo Xun.

There was satisfaction in his eyes.

Luo Xun breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was dissatisfied with the extras' reaction. At least his performance was acceptable. Thinking of this, Luo Xun cheered up and started the second filming. Such a result was naturally seen by a group of Hong Kong artists.

"Is this a smiling tiger?"

"No, it's a neurotic performance."

"But his neurosis is completely different from the neurosis of our Hong Kong's Zhenyu in Young and Dangerous. His performance gives people the feeling that there is no trace of action. You can't predict what he will do next, but he always makes unexpected and reasonable actions."

"His understanding of the role is..."

"This is a performance-type personality who is good at playing with people's hearts. Is he an actor who likes to use extreme contrast to express the character's personality, or is he a performance method designed specifically for this role? If it is the latter, it's a bit surprising."

This newcomer is not simple.

PS: 4,000 words.

Because the new plot has started, I will write it slowly. This kind of acting plot is actually not easy to write. If the protagonist is allowed to act directly according to the original version, there is no need to describe it specifically. Everyone can just watch the movie, right.
