Full-time actor

Chapter 227【54】Zhou Xingchi was shocked!

Early the next morning, Chen Yu received a call from Jiana Shahati.

The granddaughter of Zhao Qilin, a famous official in the late Qing Dynasty, criticized the "distortion" of her grandfather in the TV series "Toward a Republic" and demanded that the writers and directors of "Toward a Republic" clarify the historical facts and publicly apologize, otherwise they will pursue legal action.

Then there are a lot of people on the Internet who say that this drama whitewashed Li Hongzhang, Cixi, and Yuan Shikai...

Seeing the intensification of the criticism, CCTV decided to ban the broadcast of "Toward a Republic" after a formal meeting.

"What the hell is this!"

Chen Yu could only curse, but did this drama beautify it?

Of course there are, and quite a few.

The Douban second rating of 9.6 that leaked later was actually a heavily deleted version, with episodes deleted from 80 to 59, making it a classic instead.

So being punished is not unjust at all.

Today's hastily launched "Good Father, Good Mother" is a rural drama. Chen Yu has never heard of it, and the ratings should be average. Then, the next step is obviously the world of "Golden Dust" and "Conquer".

At least, this is the case in the capital area.

"Conquest" premiered yesterday and should be able to share a lot of ratings; "Golden Dust" is already nearing its conclusion, but the effect will be average.

Yesterday, the 22nd episode of "Golden Dust" saw the wedding of Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu. The ratings have soared to 8.91%, which is only one step away from breaking 9%. However, it will be a little difficult for the ratings to break 9% next.

The wedding of Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu is considered the most interesting part of this drama. What follows is the decline of the family. The ratings are destined to not be as high as they were at the beginning.

So no one knows how high the average ratings will be in the end.

As for "Conquest", the national average ratings for yesterday's two episodes reached 2%, and the regional ratings were 1.13%!

He seems to be full of energy.

"It depends on today!"

Chen Yu packed up and rushed to Ye Daying's crew.

After filming for most of the day, Chen Yu took a leave and prepared to audition at the hotel where Zhou Xingchi currently lives - the Imperial Grand Hyatt Hotel.

This is the family where later Zhou Xingchi often stayed when he came to the imperial capital.

It was just built the year before last, so the hotel is very new. It is located on the famous East Chang'an Street in the center of the imperial capital. It is just a few steps away from the new Dong'an Cinema where Chen Yu premiered "Kara is a Dog". Next to it is Wangfujing Commercial Street. .

It's just a few minutes' walk from the hotel to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. The location is very distinctive and easy to find.

About an hour later, Chen Yu arrived downstairs at the hotel.

Zhou Xingchi booked a presidential suite here, located on the top floor, but not just anyone can enter. There are security guards patrolling the top floor 24 hours a day, and the front desk has to register and report.

It can be seen that the privacy here is still very good.

There was no one in the corridor. Chen Yu thought there were many people auditioning, but it seemed like he was the only one?

"Come in!"

After Chen Yu pressed the doorbell, Zhou Xingchi's voice came from inside.

"Master Xing!"

Chen Yu greeted Zhou Xingchi after entering.

He was casually wearing pajamas, sitting there and watching TV. The presidential suite in the Grand Hyatt was very large, with a reception room, a living room, a bedroom, etc. There was an LCD TV in the living room.

What is playing above is actually "Cara is a Dog"?

"Your acting skills are very good!"

Stephen Chow smiled at Chen Yu who walked in and pointed to the sofa diagonally opposite him. Chen Yu nodded and sat down.

"I just finished watching your new movie!"

"I also asked Huayi, and they said that your acting skills are very good. I haven't seen the award-winning "Blind Shaft" yet. Mr. Wang said that your acting is better in this one, because you play a man in his 30s. miners?"

Zhou Xingchi rang the bell, and a waiter immediately brought tea. He also smiled and said thank you to the other party.

Chen Yu also took the tea, thanked him and then said to Zhou Xingchi: "Well, I am playing a miner in his 30s. Mr. Wang is complimenting me. In fact, I still need to learn more!"

"Young man, don't be humble!"

Zhou Xingchi smiled, suddenly turned off the TV, and said to Chen Yu: "You know kung fu, right?"

"meeting!"

"Hit it twice and show me!"

He spoke Cantonese throughout the whole process, and Chen Yu obviously came prepared. Thanks to the large reception room in Grand Hyatt, Zhou Xingchi probably also took a fancy to this, so he chose this place as the audition venue.

Swish!

Chen Yu stood up and walked to the open space aside. Without any preparation, he directly put his hands on his waist and inserted his fingertips in a standard eight-pole opening gesture.

"..."

Zhou Xingchi also knows some martial arts, but he can't tell the difference.

He has studied Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do. After all, worshiping Bruce Lee is implanted in Zhou Xingchi's bones. Just because Chen Guokun looks like Bruce Lee, he directly recruited him into the company without saying a word and gave him a lot. Opportunities to play roles.

He also likes to imitate Bruce Lee when he has nothing to do. The film often pays homage to him and even shows many Bruce Lee boxing looks.

Boom!

Chen Yu suddenly exerted force with one foot and stamped his heel on the ground. The floor seemed to tremble slightly, and with this stamp, Chen Yu's body moved quickly.

He punched the fist on his waist directly in front of him, then moved his elbow sideways, drawing out an afterimage.

At this moment, Zhou Xingchi felt a change in Chen Yu's momentum. If he had a calm, reserved and gentle personality just now when he walked in, Chen Yu, who was boxing now, was full of a fierce and domineering feeling, and every punch he threw was very powerful.

slam-la-

Chen Yu's movements were not fast, but he played very coherently, and his whole body was full of energy.

While the shadows of his fists were flying, his body movements were indeed hitting in an orderly manner according to the pace. Just when Zhou Xingchi was about to call for stop, Chen Yu's movements suddenly became faster.

Punch and stomp, inch by inch, hard blows, punches and elbows struck in succession, and became more and more powerful, and the air made a hissing sound.

Zhou Xingchi had no doubt that if the punch or elbow hit someone on the face or body, they would definitely be bruised and injured.

The power is indeed fierce.

Just by looking at Chen Yu's moves, he could see the lethality of the punches.

"Whoo~~~"

Chen Yu finished a set of punches and stopped in front of him.

clap clap clap!

Zhou Xingchi clapped his hands like an emoticon, with a smile on his face: "Awesome, awesome, what kind of punch is this?"

"Baji!"

"Oh ho, Baji, I've heard of it, so this is Baji!"

"The power is so strong!"

"Well, Baji's style of play is to pursue strength and crispness!"

Because it is a short-fighting boxing technique, Baji's movements are generally strong and crisp, seemingly simple but powerful.

This style of boxing is completely different from Tai Chi Xingyi.

"Shaking his arms against the sky and falling down, stomping his feet to shake the nine states" refers to Baji.

"Okay, okay, your martial arts skills are very good!"

"You can make action movies and become an action superstar!"

Zhou Xingchi loves martial arts very much, especially the movie "Kung Fu" he wants to shoot, which requires many actors who can fight. To be honest, he gave Chen Yu the opportunity to audition for Mei Yanfang's sake.

However, since he was given an audition, Zhou Xingchi must get to know the actor. This is his consistent principle of seriousness in filming.

Even if the actor came in through the "back door".

You can call him a tyrant on the set, but Zhou Xingchi is really nothing to brag about when filming. Everyone in his movies is completely different from other directors' movies. He can find the bright spots in every actor.

This is also why every actor in his movies is outstanding.

Is it because he has great vision, or is it because the director is awesome?

This is true, but in fact, it is because of his preparation before filming.

Like a neurotic, he will watch your previous movies over and over again to see how you perform as an actor; and he has also been an actor himself, so he knows very well that there are some undiscovered qualities in certain actors. .

Therefore, Zhou Xingchi now discovered that the Berlin actor in front of him had more than just acting skills.

Good acting and martial arts skills are rare in the entertainment industry. Even Zhou Xingchi himself has developed a love for talents. He likes capable actors, so his current attitude is different from the beginning. .

Chen Yu could detect the changes in his face, as well as the change in his attitude towards himself.

"let me see!"

"I want to think about what role to give you..."

Zhou Xingchi really wanted Chen Yu to participate in his movie, but the script had already been written, and there seemed to be... no role that was particularly suitable for him.

"Do you have a brokerage company?"

After Zhou Xingchi asked, he stretched out his hand directly. These words were obviously nonsense.

How could the Berlin actor not have an agency?

Zhou Xingchi was a little hesitant, and just as Chen Yu thought, the only suitable person was probably the leader of the Ax Gang.

This has been decided a long time ago, it is Chen Guokun, an artist from his company.

It is impossible for Zhou Xingchi to spend a lot of money to hire Chen Yulai to play such a role, because he can't do it.

When filming, sometimes you have to consider cost-effectiveness.

Putting aside Chen Yu's salary, changing people actually has little impact on the box office. If you replace Chen Yu as the boss of the Ax Gang, can the box office be better than that of Chen Guokun?

Impossible, Chen Yu has no box office appeal now!

Because he is really not famous enough, and it is impossible to attract fans just by relying on a Berlin actor.

But if this person were replaced by Jet Li and Cheng Long, it would be different.

With such a high salary, people can create higher box office than the salary.

"I'll think about it and give you an answer later!"

In the end, Zhou Xingchi really had no choice but to smile at Chen Yu; Chen Yu was not too disappointed. Being able to get to know Zhou Xingchi was enough for him. There is no chance to cooperate now, but maybe there will be in the future? !

"Then thank you Mr. Xing!"

Chen Yu bowed and was about to leave, but Zhou Xingchi stood up directly: "I'll see you off!"

"Please give me your contact information and we will add it!"
