Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

After staying in the capital for another two days, Zhang and his party met up with Feng Xiaogang and set off for Jinling together.

As the filming of "Founding of a Republic" progressed, more and more stars joined the crew and wrapped up the filming. There were more and more Reuters news reports, and the mere participation of so many stars drove their fans crazy.

But the crew deliberately kept the roles played by the stars secret, so the Internet was full of rumors.

"The lead actor of "The Founding of a Republic" is Andy Lau!"

"It's Cheng Long, okay!"

"Where did this news come from? For a play like this, shouldn't the lead actor be a great man? It should be Tang Guoqiang!"

"Isn't it Zhang Yihang?"

"Zhang Yixing shouldn't be the lead actor. He was filming "Zhu Xian" a few days ago. "Founding of a Republic" has been filming for so long, but he hasn't joined the crew yet!"

The discussion on the internet is heated, which is naturally what Han Shanping hopes to see. As for who the lead actor is, let everyone guess. The more discussions the better. Wait until the movie is released and then trick people in to watch it!

On the plane, Zhang Yixing and Feng Xiaogang were also talking about "The Founding of a Republic".

Feng Xiaogang said to Zhang Yixing mysteriously, "This time, I, a Beijinger, was asked to play Du Yuesheng. Can you guess why?"

Zhang Yixing thought about it for a moment, and an emoticon came to his mind, so he replied: "Who else?"

Seeing Zhang Yixing's answer, Feng Xiaogang laughed and said with emotion: "That's right, the reason is because of Kung Fu! I just played a supporting role in it back then, but as a result, many directors would ask me if I could play the role of a gang leader when they were filming! I always chose to refuse, except for Founding of a Republic, which I couldn't refuse!"

Seeing Feng Xiaogang expressing his emotion here, Zhang Yihang couldn't help but find it funny.

Speaking of which, it was because the boss of the Crocodile Gang he played in "Kung Fu" was so brilliant that with just one sentence "Who else", he created a classic screen character.

Naturally, the impression of him as a gang leader was imprinted in everyone's mind. Even Han Shanping was influenced by this role and felt that Feng Xiaogang was suitable for playing the role of a gang leader.

It has to be said that Zhou Xingxing always has a keen eye for selecting supporting roles. In his dramas, there are always many supporting roles that leave a deep impression on everyone. Even in the era of short videos in the future, they are constantly used as memes.

"By the way, hasn't the filming of "The Great Tangshan Earthquake" started yet?" Zhang Yixing asked.

Feng Xiaogang shook his head and sighed, "It's still in preparation. When making a movie like this, you have to be responsible! Since I had this filming plan, I have started to look for people who witnessed the earthquake in Tangshan and collect stories about what happened that year. Sigh~"

Zhang Yixing also sighed. Disasters are always heavy, and it also takes courage to uncover the history.

He changed the subject and said, "I heard that you are collecting some old items from the past to use as movie props. I have collected a lot of things that I used at home. If you need them, I will have someone send them to you after the filming. But you have to keep them well for me. After you are done using them, I will take them back!"

Feng Xiaogang asked curiously, "Hey, you still have a hobby of collecting old things! I mean, how can you be so nostalgic at your age?"

Zhang Yihang laughed and said, "Everyone can have a hobby!"

Speaking of the things I treasure, they were actually just some of the things I used to have at home when I was a child.

For example, the iron frog, slingshot, glass ball, chain match gun that I played with when I was a child, the old dictionary used by my mother, and those stamps and one-cent banknotes that are now only of commemorative value.

These things that had long been lost in memory are now kept well in Zhang Yixing's small courtyard in the mountains. In the rushing river of time, they are like solidified time.

The two chatted all the way until they arrived at the land of Jinling, and came to Southeast University, the former site of "Central University". According to Han Shanping's plan, the scene that Zhang Yiyi needed to shoot was scheduled directly on the next morning, and they finished the scene with Chen Kun in one morning.

I have to say that the arrangement of this play is like a "big market", and all those who come and go are big stars.

Because it is not a holiday, there are many students on campus, especially there is a film crew here.

When Zhang Yixing and Feng Xiaogang were seen entering the campus, the news spread quickly among the students, and the two were surrounded by enthusiastic students.

"Zhang Yihang, Zhang Xiaofan!"

"Look here, let me take a picture!"

"Director Feng, Director Feng, who else?"

I don't know who in the crowd shouted this sentence, imitating Feng Xiaogang's performance in Kung Fu, which immediately caused the crowd to laugh.

Feng Xiaogang laughed and said to Zhang Yixing: "Look, we were just talking about this on the plane, and now it happens again!"

Zhang Yixing couldn't help laughing until he saw a funny boy holding up a makeshift handwritten sign with the words "Qingtian" written on it. Zhang Yixing put away his smile and quickly shifted his gaze.

After finally squeezing out of the crowd and arriving at the filming location, I saw Chen Kun was already there.

Seeing the two people coming in, Chen Kun hurried over to greet them.

In addition to him, there were many extras who were familiarizing themselves with the shooting location in advance. When they saw Zhang Yixing and Feng Xiaogang, they gathered together and whispered.

Chen Kun had already changed into a Zhongshan suit, apparently trying to get a feel for the situation in advance. He led the two of them to Han Shanping's side, and saw that Han Shanping was sitting behind the camera, checking something, and was not aware of their arrival at all.

It was not until he finished watching a video that he looked up and saw Zhang Yixing and Feng Xiaogang standing next to him. He quickly motioned for them to sit down.

"You're here so early, let's try on the costumes and the acting first. We'll start shooting tomorrow morning, and try to get it right in one take!"

Feng Xiaogang grinned and laughed, "If I pass it in one try, then Master Shan will have to lower his standards!"

Compared to Zhang Yixing's three lines, Feng Xiaogang plays Du Yuesheng and Chen Kun plays the more important role of Jiang Er. The two of them have more and more important scenes as rivals, which is definitely not something that can be performed in just one go.

Han Shanping said: "Chen Kun will be fine. As for you, if you can show off your Kung Fu style, you will be fine too!"

Well, we can’t avoid the Crocodile Gang!

After some more chatting and joking, Zhang Yixing and Feng Xiaogang also changed into their respective clothes.

Zhang Yihang was wearing an old-fashioned suit with a white shirt and tie.

Feng Xiaogang was wearing a black Chinese-style shorts shirt with a nylon top hat, and old-fashioned small round sunglasses. He stood there leaning on a cane, and he immediately gave off the feeling of a gangster boss.

Feng Xiaogang looked around and suddenly turned around and shouted, "Who else?"

The filming set was immediately filled with laughter. (End of this chapter)
