Entertainment Empire

During this period, many Hong Kong artists had a psychological advantage over mainland actors. Although they didn't say it verbally, they felt more or less superior to others in their hearts. VertexX23US

It has to do with economics.

It is also related to entertainment development.

At its peak, Xiangjiang Entertainment was known as the "Oriental Hollywood". Compared with the mainland entertainment that had just started, it was many steps ahead. Although the mainland market is now expanding, Xiangjiang's entertainment industry has entered a development bottleneck. Even if it keeps regressing, this sense of psychological superiority will still appear from time to time when facing mainland artists like Luo Xun.

But today, the sense of superiority is gone.

Luo Xun's first scene easily broke the little Jiujiu in their hearts. Many people just saw it, and even Zhou Xingchi, the tyrant on the set, expressed his affirmation of Luo Xun's performance!

Zhou Xingchi is very strict.

Many veteran actors have to perform continuously under him, let alone Luo Xun. But now that Luo Xun can do this, who dares to underestimate him, a mainland actor?

but……

People think that Luo Xun is very powerful, but Luo Xun is a bit complaining, because he found that Zhou Xingchi's NG sometimes not only targets the leading actors in the scene, but also targets the extras, such as the scene where he finished his speech and his subordinates were moved, Obviously his performance was up to standard, but because his extras didn't perform well enough, he had to do it over again.

It took a long time.

This scene is over.

In the second scene, it was finally Zhou Xingchi's turn to act as the actor, with Luo Xun assisting. However, Zhou Xingchi did not rush to start filming, but announced that everyone should take a break and that it was lunch time for the crew.

The lunch box is of good quality.

When filming "Shaolin Soccer", Zhou Xingchi caused trouble among the extras because the quality of the lunch boxes for the crew was too low. The news was very hot at the time, and Zhou Xingchi's image was also damaged, so now the lunch boxes for Zhou Xingchi's crew are better than those of ordinary crews.

"Luo Xun."

What Luo Xun didn't expect was that Zhou Xingchi actually sat next to Luo Xun while eating his lunch, and his face lost the seriousness he had during filming: "Did you adjust your character during the audition?"

"Adjusted it a bit."

Luo Xun didn't know if Zhou Xingchi had any suggestions, so he said: "From the moment Brother Chen started killing women, laughing wildly, and dancing, I decided to mold him into a performing personality. I believe Master Xing also has this intention. ?”

"You discovered it."

Zhou Xingchi smiled and said, "Call me Director Zhou."

Luo Xun increasingly feels that Zhou Xingchi who is not filming and he who is filming are two different people: "In fact, Director Zhou's movies have many scenes that are similar to performance. The most recent example is the national martial arts training at the end of "Shaolin Football". There is a more recent example. There is a scene in "Kung Fu" that requires Brother Chen to dance with members of the Ax Gang..."

Zhou Xingchi nodded: "I'm relieved."

He stood up and added: "You can express yourself freely in the following scenes. I will not restrict your performance. In fact, I did not set any restrictions on the first scene today. I just wanted to test whether you can accept my style. It turns out that you accepted it well. Did you ask them to make the arrangement for dragging the body? "

Luo Xun nodded.

Zhou Xingchi smiled, because Luo Xun's free play was personally allowed by him, so when Luo Xun made arrangements without authorization, he would not be angry, but would appreciate it.

exaggerate.

Nonsense.

Luo Xun caught both of these points. The most essential part is when Luo Xun moved his subordinates with his impassioned speech, and then returned to calm in a second amid everyone's moved emotions. And here he added because he made a small mistake. The body of the younger brother who was mistakenly killed by Luo Xun was dragged away, leaving only a long line of blood. Combined with the tears of other younger brothers who were moved, this scene achieved the best ironic effect.

Dark humor.

The leader of the Ax Gang, Brother Chen, has a performing personality that loves to play with people's hearts. It also sets a tone for Luo Xun's subsequent performance style. Even if he expresses himself freely, he will proceed on this basis.

In the afternoon.

Shooting continues.

Luo Xun was finally going to play opposite Stephen Chow. There were only a few lines in total. The two only had to face each other, but because the other person's aura was too dazzling, Luo Xun rarely felt a little nervous. But this I was so nervous that when it came time for the official filming, I was immediately thrown away by Luo Xun.

"Something."

After using his lock-picking skills to escape the axe, Brother Chen, played by Luo Xun, finally looked at Zhou Xingchi and Fatty and spoke softly. Before that, he had not even looked at these two people, but like this Small details that only a true connoisseur can spot.

Such as Zhou Xingchi.

For example, the assistant director in front of the camera.

Another example is a group of veteran actors in Hong Kong.

Zhou Xingchi's head was covered with sweat. He bowed slightly and stepped forward. His tone was full of flattery: "Brother Chen, actually we really want to join the Ax Gang so we pretended to be one. Give us a chance, okay?"

This is Zhou Xingchi's unique performance style.

It is also the humbleness of the little man that he is best at.

Luo Xun took a deep drag on his cigarette for the last time, then threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stamped it out. At the same time, he said in a magnetic voice: "Have you ever killed anyone?"

"kill……"

Fatty seemed to be frightened, but Zhou Xingchi did not panic at all and said in a sympathetic tone: "I have been thinking about killing people all day long!"

It’s different from listening to Shi Banyu’s dubbing.

During the filming, Zhou Xingchi spoke in Cantonese, but Luo Xun could understand him, and he remembered the lines very well, so there were not many obstacles for the two of them to act together. He just narrowed his eyes: "Then go kill someone for me."

"Then I'll go kill someone now."

Zhou Xingchi looked serious: "Okay?"

The fat guy nodded guiltily, and the two left. The last scene was a close-up of Luo Xun's expression, and then the assistant director shouted "cut", and Zhou Xingchi immediately went to the camera to see the effect.

"Not bad."

Zhou Xingchi thought for a while: "Keep one shot."

Luo Xun nodded. The so-called "keep one shot" means that this shot can be used directly, but for the sake of insurance, shoot one more shot with different feelings, which is also for the convenience of post-editing.

But what Luo Xun didn't expect was...

Zhou Xingchi's so-called "keep one shot" is far more than just one shot. After discovering that Luo Xun can change different details every time he performs, he pulled Luo Xun to shoot five shots in one breath!

Exaggerated version.

Perverted version.

Insidious version.

Luo Xun acted with Zhou Xingchi in different emotions, while Zhou Xingchi played the humble role of a small person, with a sense of being unmoved. It was not until the fifth take that Zhou Xingchi stopped trying to protect the character. It was also these scenes that gave Luo Xun a general understanding of Zhou Xingchi's acting skills...
