Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 166 Crazy or possessed?

Bang!

The spotlight of the old-fashioned camera flashed and burst into a burst of white smoke, and the two people in front of the camera were frozen.

"Two bosses, young Qiu Ma, no matter what clothes you wear or what style you wear, as long as you put them on, you will look decent and have a mark!"

The owner of the photo studio said flatteringly, and the apprentice next to him immediately came over with a new style of short coat and robe.

It was noisy outside the photo studio, and the students' marching slogans were loud.

Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou in the photo studio were not affected at all. They took off their suits and put on robes and short coats.

Cheng Dieyi stood in front of Duan Xiaolou, with his legs slightly bent and his lower body leaning forward, while his upper body was slightly backward, helping Duan Xiaolou tidy up his clothes.

When the palm brushes the corner of the clothes, you can still see the slightly raised little finger, just like a virtuous and kind woman arranging the clothes for her beloved.

The legs covered by the robe are all vaginal, and you can see the weakness in him. The small movements of stroking his sleeves after sitting down also make people ignore his true gender.

Duan Xiaolou, on the other hand, sat down carelessly, shook his robe and then sat still.

Chen Shiping sat behind the monitor and held his chin up as he watched Leslie Cheung's performance. He was extremely satisfied. Although he didn't speak, Cheng Dieyi's performance was brought to life with just one action.

There were several people crowded behind the monitor. Wang Xiaoshuai and others stretched their heads to look at this new gadget. The monitor is so convenient!

There were a few girls sticking their heads out to look at the gap between the windows outside the studio.

Gong Li looked at Zhang Guorong's performance just now and immediately felt pressure. This acting skill put too much pressure on her.

In Gong Li's opinion, Zhang Fengyi's performance is not bad, but compared with Zhang Guorong, it is more than a step behind. His performance is average and not outstanding at all.

However, this is also related to the role of Duan Xiaolou, and Zhang Fengyi cannot be entirely blamed.

There was a small head squeezed under Gong Li's head behind the window slit, and Zhang Min also saw Zhang Guorong's performance just now.

In my heart, I felt that his movements and stillness just now were too feminine, even though I didn't have such feminine qualities.

That's great, I really envy such acting skills.

No wonder he was directly selected by a strict person like Chen Shiping.

Zhang Min felt that he would never have such acting skills in his whole life. Even with half of his acting skills, he could become successful with this face.

It's a pity that I only have this face, and my acting skills can only be said to be barely passable.

Everyone has different thoughts when watching this scene. Some people see the machine, some see the pressure, and some see envy.

Of course, some people see a sense of powerlessness.

Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng didn't care about Leslie Cheung's acting skills, nor did they care about Chen Shiping's new equipment. They just felt that such a movie would never be made in Hong Kong.

Mainland directors are much more serious about movies than Xiangjiang. The current Xiangjiang movies look brilliant, but their background is too shallow.

There are so many things to do here and there, and no one is just looking for quality, they are all looking to make quick money, so if this goes on, you will take jujube pills.

Chen Shiping had already shouted "Ka" at this time, and did not comment too much on the scene just now. Leslie Cheung is in good condition now, so don't talk about how good his acting was.

Being immersed in the role is more important than anything else. As an experienced actor himself, Chen Shiping doesn't need to say too much about how to act.

As a director, you just need to find the right condition for the actors.

Those who teach actors how to act step by step are forced to act helplessly.

But when the scene was cut, people watching the show started to come over.

Gong Li and Zhang Min both ran to Zhang Guorong to talk and laugh, while Chen Shiping was surrounded by Wang Xiaoshuai and others.

Master Chen, we are here to learn. This work cannot be in vain!

"Director, this thing is really useful. Is it expensive?" Wang Xiaoshuai asked curiously.

Chen Shiping looked at him and said, "You should wait a few years before considering this issue."

Lou Ye didn't care about this issue, and said curiously: "Director, you asked us to come to the set and we can't just do odd jobs, right?"

"Of course not, this is to give you the opportunity to understand how the crew works." Chen Shiping looked at him and explained: "I'm not going to teach you about filming. You have to know how to manage the crew of an independent film and how to cooperate between each department. Work."

Lou Ye nodded, understanding Chen Shiping's intention. Zhang Yuan, who was standing next to him, came over and asked, "Are there any other scenes behind them? Just that kind of thing?"

Chen Shiping looked up at him and asked, "Are you interested in this kind of drama?"

Zhang Yuan nodded and then shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in this kind of drama, but I'm more interested in this kind of emotional relationship."

Chen Shiping was not surprised. Zhang Yuan later made a gay movie, and the scale was not small, but a lot of the content was uncomfortable.

"Okay, don't stick with me. Go and think about what's going on on the set. Also go see what the producer is doing on the set at this time."

After Chen Shiping dismissed them with a wave of his hand, the crew was ready for the next scene.

It was very hot outside. When Chen Shiping was directing the group performances, he walked up to Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng.

"I went to Venice this time to understand something."

Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng turned to look at Chen Shiping, wondering what he meant when he suddenly came over and said this.

Chen Shiping ignored them and continued: "It's really pointless to play with you. It's a waste of time. From now on, follow my rules and I won't lose you."

Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng didn't know why Chen Shiping was so angry, so they both frowned and remained silent.

Chen Shiping stood on the second floor, holding the railing, pointing at the extras and busy crew below and said: "You are very experienced in commercial movies, but you will never be able to make a movie like this.

I was in Venice this time and saw a Hollywood company promoting a new movie called Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Super stars stepped up their production and set up a special effects company. You can't make a movie like this.

So you are a group of people destined to be eliminated. "

Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng stopped talking. They only felt a little red in the face. We can still be friends without telling the truth!

"Okay, you can think about it yourself, whether you want to live or continue to dream."

Chen Shiping waved his hands and left. It was extremely hot today and he was sweating as soon as he came out.

Xu Ke looked at Shi Nansheng and asked, "He is bluffing!"

Shi Nansheng sighed and did not answer. Instead, he said: "I just saw Chen Shiping teaching a few young people. They all seemed to be directing graduates. I also heard about his previous speech at Nortel. He is really I feel like it’s a waste of time.”

Xu Ke chuckled and said: "So his goal is Hollywood? Even Xiangjiang can't stop it, but the mainland can catch up?!"

“When we praised the Yalu River a few decades ago, many people felt that the mainland was not good enough.”

Shi Nansheng said seriously: "We must seriously consider the future situation. Once Bay Area loosens restrictions on Hollywood movies and restricts the entry of Hong Kong movies, and once mainland movies exclude us, do you know how many people in the Hong Kong film industry will starve to death? !”

A lot of people will starve to death, otherwise Fatty Wang wouldn’t have made so many bad movies.

Shi Nansheng has no interest in continuing to watch. No matter how bad the mainland film market is, even if it hits rock bottom, mainland filmmakers will not lack food.

This is a place that Xiangjiang can never compare to. The mainland is so big that even if a mainland director makes a bad movie, he can still make a mouthful of it.

What's the use of arguing with others about who is superior and who is inferior at this time, they can drag you to death even if they drag you! Chen Shiping walked downstairs and stood in the shade watching the noisy group performances.

On the street outside, the extras in student uniforms were in high spirits, waiting for Zhang Guorong to come out.

It's such a hot day, why come here just for a box lunch? !

Although the lunch box is indeed very good, it is not important at all. Watching the celebrities is important!

Most of the extras below are college students, at the age when they are interested in idols.

There will be a face-to-face scene with Leslie Cheung later, and the selected extras are extremely happy at this time.

What’s wrong with just shooting the back of the head? As long as you can meet your idol!

On the stairs of the photo studio, the theater owner escorted Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou down. Slogans outside were shouted loudly, and the students held up flags to vent their anger.

"Defend North China and defeat RB imperialism!"

"Alas! Aren't these the two actors in the photo?"

A student recognized Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou and immediately turned his attention to them.

"I'm going to be a slave to the country, do you know that?"

"What kind of drama are you doing, you guys who are so demonic?"

"You have no family and no country, do you have the conscience of a Chinese!"

Cheng Dieyi stood behind Duan Xiaolou with some fear. The theater owner also wanted to stand up, but Duan Xiaolou behind him spoke first.

"Oh, you can see it clearly. This is a Chinese who is fighting for eight hundred years." Duan Xiaolou raised his thumb, pointed at himself and cursed: "You all can see it clearly!!"

The students suddenly started to make a fuss, and Na Ye quickly comforted these students with a smile on his face.

"Yes, they are all Chinese!"

The man raised his hands and shouted: "Chinese people don't fight Chinese people!"

The students were stunned for a moment and then started shouting. It was young people who were most likely to be carried away by their emotions, let alone such a slogan.

"They are all from the same ancestor!" the old man shouted again, looked at the students and said: "The ancestors were wrong, they can't be wrong!"

The conflict was resolved in this way, and Na Ye quickly protected Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou into the rickshaw and drove away.

The streets are full of students, shouting slogans and smashing Japanese goods.

Duan Xiaolou, who was sitting on the rickshaw, was still angry, scolding those students who only yelled blindly, but they could go out of the city to do it!

The old man also echoed beside him, but Cheng Dieyi remained silent. After entering the alley and losing the dazzling light, he smiled and said: "It's good for the leader to call the martial arts singer. Hey, our first farewell to my concubine is here." Where's the singing coming from?"

"You will remember everything about the year of the donkey and the month of the horse." Duan Xiaolou replied calmly.

The man next to them boasted that he led them to the Zhang Mansion, which made them famous and famous.

The filming of this scene was terrible, but Chen Shiping saw that there was nothing wrong with it and let it go.

The extras performed well and were in high spirits. Zhang Guorong's gentle voice was also very good when he opened his mouth. It's not like he trained for so long in vain.

After Chen Shiping stopped the scene, he asked the crew to rest. It was not easy to pack up so many extras.

It was noisy outside, and the interior scenes behind it were not easy to shoot.

The simultaneous sound can record all the outside sounds, so even if you shoot, it will be in vain.

During the break, Leslie Cheung was sitting backstage in the theater, tracing his face, and soon he had the makeup of Yu Ji.

Zhang Min stood next to him and asked Zhang Guorong to draw one for him with great interest.

"This makeup is so beautiful!" Zhang Min looked at Leslie Cheung's makeup and felt that he really looked like a beautiful actress.

Her eyebrows and eyes are as gentle as water, and she really puts herself into the role.

Chen Shiping was sitting on the chair next to him, chatting with Xu Feng about the subsequent filming. When they were chatting enthusiastically, they heard Zhang Guorong oops.

"I painted too hard, didn't I get it in my eyes?" Zhang Guorong put down the pen and carefully reached out to press Zhang Min's eyelids. The way he bent over and clasped his inner Chinese characters was exactly like Cheng Dieyi.

Chen Shiping and Xu Feng were both attracted by this scene, and they couldn't help but stare at him.

"You really made the right choice, he is simply Cheng Dieyi himself!" Xu Feng couldn't help but say.

Chen Shiping also nodded. Zhang Guorong is really not crazy now, but possessed. He can't distinguish between human and drama.

Zhang Min didn't dare to close his eyes. He could only look at Zhang Guorong like this. Watching Zhang Guorong carefully wipe the paint on his face, he felt his heart pounding.

How can a man be so beautiful!

If he were a woman, Zhang Min would probably be bent over.

After Zhang Guorong finished wiping her, he even coaxed her. Although he didn't know her very well, he had such a personality and seemed to be a good friend to everyone.

Zhang Min wiped the makeup on his face and realized at this time that he almost had a heart attack just now, and now he still has some lingering fears.

How did this person get so involved in the drama? What a great role to play in this state!

Zhang Min couldn't help but ran to Chen Shiping and Xu Feng and squatted down, curiously asking them how they made Leslie Cheung act so well.

Xu Feng said it was talent, and Chen Shiping said it was being himself, which left Zhang Min a little confused.

Talent can understand, what does it mean to be yourself?

Chen Shiping explained: "As an actor, you must believe that you are the character, and being yourself is the role."

"I understand everything you said, but how can I believe it?"

Zhang Min was really moved by Zhang Guorong's performance. Watching it live was completely different from watching it in the movie. She had no pursuit at first, but now she was completely touched.

Just like a man uninstalling the software and deleting the website on a whim one day, vowing to study hard, most of them are only three minutes of enthusiasm.

There are very few people who can really persist, but those who persist have succeeded.

Seeing her sudden enthusiasm for learning, Chen Shiping said, "If you really want to make progress, I will recommend a few books to you later and talk to you when I have time."

"I don't have many roles these days, can I come every day?" Zhang Min asked immediately.

"Okay, it's a good thing to make progress!"

"Is that okay tonight?"

"Wouldn't it be appropriate at night?"

"There's nothing inappropriate, just treat it as a apprenticeship ceremony!"
