The conspicuous bag in China Entertainment Taohuawu

Chapter 294 A set of silky acting combos

In terms of status, Chen Xinghe is definitely not as good as Mr. Cheng and Director Ma, but why is Wong Kar Wai so polite to Chen Xinghe and even puts aside his dignity to go out to greet him.

Apart from Chen Xinghe's actual good acting skills, in the final analysis it has to do with the superstition of Hong Kong directors.

In Wong Kar-Wai's view, Chen Xinghe has achieved such great achievements in just two years. He must have "luck" in him. This thing can be believed or not, but people in the circles on Hong Kong Island Just believe this.

Now that the Hong Kong scene is declining, most Hong Kong artists have chosen to come to the mainland to develop, but it is no longer the time for Hong Kong to come to the mainland in the past few years. At that time, Hong Kong artists were all C-level, but since Zhang Xie After the crew beat Xiao Bailong violently, everything changed.

From the original absolute main character, it has slowly become a recurring one. Now, except for veteran superstars such as Andy Lau, there is no one who can play the leading role, and there are not even many supporting actors who have more roles.

That's why Wong Kar Wai insisted on casting Chen Xinghe in "Flowers" because he wanted to borrow some luck from him.

"Boss Chen is here, everyone is welcome."

As soon as he entered the scene with Chen Xinghe, Wong Kar-wai greeted everyone and welcomed him.

Although Zheng Kai and Tang Yan were a little dissatisfied, they still clapped along with everyone out of respect for Director Wong Kar-wai.

"I'm flattered. I'm flattered." Chen Xinghe's posture was very low. Seeing that everyone was so embarrassed, he clasped his hands to greet everyone.

"Boss Chen, these are the main actors in the crew." As he spoke, Wong Kar-wai introduced Chen Xinghe.

"This is Xin Zhilei, he plays Miss Li Li in the play."

"Tang Yan, Miss Wang."

"Ma Yili, Lingzi."

"Zheng Kai, Mr. Wei."

"Mr. You Benchang, he plays the role of uncle in the play."

Chen Xinghe just nodded to the others, but when he arrived at You Benchang's place, Chen Xinghe quickly held the old man's hand, lowered his head and said in greeting, "Mr. You, I am very happy to cooperate with you in the play. I hope to invite you back when the time comes. Don’t hesitate to teach me, I can learn more about acting from you.”

Unlike Li Baotian, Li Xuejian, and Chen Daoming, although Mr. You doesn't have many awards, in Chen Xinghe's opinion, their acting skills are equally matched, especially in the movie "Jigong Living Buddha", in which Jigong is simply beaten by Mr. You. Give it a good performance.

"Let's make progress together. I've seen your performance. Rather than teaching you, it's better to discuss it together."

Mr. You's words were very sincere, and it was obvious that he thought so from the bottom of his heart, so Chen Xinghe did not belittle himself too much and replied confidently.

"Then we have agreed to discuss it more."

Hearing Chen Xinghe's words, the others were a little unimpressed. Zheng Kai curled his lips and thought to himself, "I really don't know what your last name is when I compliment you so much. I'll see if it's embarrassing if you have too many NGs in the show." "

Although Zheng Kai doesn't have many roles with You Benchang at present, there are many actresses. He has seen with his own eyes how several of them collapsed. It would have been a crushing performance in terms of acting skills. If Mr. You Benchang hadn't held back a little bit. A little too much, I'm afraid they can't even catch the scene.

Not only his other female leads also sneered at Chen Xinghe's words.

However, You Benchang himself nodded happily.

"Okay, everyone is from the Mainland. Let's reminisce about old times and talk about the reception banquet in the evening. Now let's continue filming. What about Boss Chen? Is it okay for you to act now?"

After introducing the main actors in the play, Wong Kar-wai asked with a smile.

Chen Xinghe nodded. He already knew the script by heart and could get into the mood at any time.

As early as after he received the script, Chen Xinghe would look through Mr. Bao's personal script and the entire "Flowers" script from time to time. The veteran drama teacher Wang Jinsong once said that lines are like weapons in the hands of a warrior. , how can you go to the battlefield without even holding a weapon?

"I can act anytime."

Hearing Chen Xinghe's confident words, Director Wong Kar-Wai nodded with satisfaction, and then arranged the lighting and camera to move to another scene. In the play, the restaurant Zhizhenyuan's kitchen, and his opponent in the first scene was a little dissatisfied with him. Tang Yan.

This scene is about the first time Mr. Bao came to Zhizhenyuan for dinner, but he only ordered a fried beef river. After learning that the minimum consumption of the private room was 2,000, Ms. Wang personally ordered the dish and bought the low-priced beef. Fees are paid.

The camera positions, reflectors, and sound collectors are all in place, and the extras behind have already taken action in advance. As a background director, it is impossible to specify how they will react one by one. It is always right to let them do their work directly.

Chen Xinghe also adjusted his emotions and prepared to start the show.

"Action" came out as Wong Kar-Wai's voice with a slight Hong Kong accent, and Tang Yan, who played Miss Wang, walked in from the outside, her turbulent look quite fitting the character.

While Tang Yan was taking off her coat, she said with a cheerful face: "Nong Hua is quite knowledgeable. I have been to Zhizhen Garden so many times, and this is the first time I have eaten in the kitchen."

Tang Yan has always given everyone the impression of being silly and sweet, because except for Zixuan, she is mostly remembered as a silly and sweet type. However, her performance this time was quite good, which made Chen Xinghe a little bit He was impressed by her.

However, this performance was quite good only for Tang Yan herself. Compared with Chen Xinghe, it was not good enough. Chen Xinghe, who played Mr. Bao, walked up to Tang Yan with a steaming plate of fried beef.

After just walking a few steps and sitting on a chair, Chen Xinghe vividly performed the role of a famous man on the Yellow River Road. His every move was full of the aura of a winner, and his face also had a smile of a winner.

Because just a few days ago, he had just obtained a batch of domestic T-shirts through various means, and his opponent was the bridge led by the boss of Zhizhenyuan.

"As agreed, I want to apologize to you when I treat you to dinner today, so I have to use my brain. I can eat whatever I want. There are some low-cost ones."

I had only heard people say it before, but today I finally saw Chen Xinghe's acting skills on the spot. Zheng Kai suddenly realized that Chen Xinghe's words just now were not without purpose. It was just that he walked a few steps with a smile and sat on the chair. His cool movements are not something that ordinary actors can do, at least he can't, "Ma is really a monster." After just one scene, Zheng Kai changed his mind. Maybe Chen Xinghe really You won't be suppressed by Mr. You!

Chen Xinghe's performance made Tang Yan a little distracted. How come acting with the young man opposite him was almost the same as acting with Mr. You Benchang, and then he was kicked out again. But she is a professional actor after all. Tang Yan returned to the role in just a few seconds. Fortunately, the camera just focused on Chen Xinghe and did not capture her dazed scene. "What a low-level meal, just two dry stir-fries." What's wrong with Niuhe? We're not a foreign company."

Chen Xinghe noticed Tang Yan's absence, but since the director didn't shout "Ka", Chen Xinghe pretended not to notice and continued acting, "How can there be so many foreign dishes? Although there are two private rooms on Yellow River Road A low consumption of three thousand yuan, but you have to know that everyone is running for hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in business. You think you are eating lobsters, but in fact you are eating opportunities. A lobster is An opportunity is either to socialize or to beg for help. No matter how good the food is on the Yellow River Road, I still have to make a bowl of rice and two dried radishes when I get home. After eating these two things, I will live a comfortable life. "

In one paragraph, Chen Xinghe's tone and expression changed three times. From teasing with a smile at the beginning, to sighing as if recalling his past when talking about opportunities, to finally mentioning the ease and comfort of cooking radish with rice, this series of Tang Yan was stunned by her performance!
Suddenly her mind went blank, "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?" Just as she was stunned, the director's "click" and curse words came over.

"Tiffany Tang, what are you doing? Are you dreaming? What a waste of such a perfect scene from Boss Chen."

After hearing Wong Kar-wai's words, Tang Yan came to her senses, bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted. It's so hard for Teacher Chen and everyone to do it all over again. I'm really sorry for everyone."

Seeing that Tang Yan quickly admitted her mistake, Chen Xinghe didn't say much. He waved his hand and took the fried beef to the corner of the kitchen to start the show again.

When filming resumed, Chen Xinghe is still the same Chen Xinghe, with a set of silky acting skills that are simply terrifying and stable. This time, Tang Yan did not lose focus anymore, but her acting skills are much more immature compared to Chen Xinghe, but after all, it is only a TV series. , and in the opinion of director Wong Kar-Wai, after his training, this is already Tang Yan's best state, so she can just live it like this. Anyway, the gap is just a gap, Tang Yan can only be responsible for beauty.

"It also depends on the person's head. I won't accept this. Have we ever eaten lobster? Every time we eat pork ribs and rice cakes, we still have a good conversation."

"If everyone thinks this way, all the restaurants on Huanghe Road will be closed."

"No matter how delicious the food outside is, it can't be compared with the pork ribs and rice cakes."

"It clicked."

Although Chen Xinghe's first scene when he joined the team did not go so smoothly, it was not due to him. Wong Kar-wai and all the staff and actors present still applauded Chen Xinghe.

"Good acting. I didn't expect you to get into the mood as soon as you joined the set. Do you like it?" Chen Xinghe, who returned to the lounge to touch up his makeup while the director's team changed the position of the scene, lighting and camera, received a compliment from Mr. You.

"No, old man, when I wrote the script before, I imagined in my mind how to act which part to act, so it's not unfamiliar to me."

You Benchang smiled and nodded, "It's good. I'm looking forward to the scenes between the two of us more and more."

It was already evening when Chen Xinghe arrived on the set, and it was not until ten o'clock in the evening that today's filming ended. "Flowers" has a lot of night scenes. Wong Kar-wai himself likes to shoot night scenes because he thinks women look better when filming at night.

As soon as the filming was over, everyone returned to the crew hotel. With so much investment, the crew treated the actors very well. They found a five-star hotel near the set as the crew hotel.

After returning to the room, Chen Xinghe took the time to take a shower and change his clothes. Assistant Liu Li and bodyguard Gao Shengqiang checked Chen Xinghe's room early, and also helped Chen Xinghe lay out the sheets and quilts. Taking a bath was not because of him. To sleep, the crew prepared a reception banquet for Chen Xinghe.

Originally, Chen Xinghe didn't want to go, but director Wong Kar-wai's hospitality was irresistible and the other actor could get acquainted with the other actors in the crew. In the end, Chen Xinghe agreed to Wong Kar-wai's invitation.

Led by the staff to the hotel restaurant, Chen Xinghe found that everyone was already here, and Mr. Cheng from Penguin was also there.

"Xinghe is here, come and sit here." Upon seeing Chen Xinghe, Mr. Cheng quickly greeted him.

"Mr. Cheng."

"What's your name, Mr. Cheng? Just call me Uncle Cheng in private."

Hearing Mr. Cheng's words, Chen Xinghe thought to himself, "Good guy, this is to give me a platform. Is this necessary? No one in the crew should dare to bully me."

Although I thought so, I definitely couldn't say it out loud, so I smiled and responded, "Why did Uncle Cheng come over so late at night?"

"Didn't this happen before? There are a lot of things in the company, and I don't want to be a hands-off shopkeeper like you. Didn't I just finish my work? I heard Director Wang said that he would hold a reception banquet for you, so I came directly here .”

"Hey, if you are a busy person, if you have any good projects, you are still thinking of us."

"Hahahahaha definitely."

Seeing how close Chen Xinghe was to Cheng Wu, the other creative actors were even more confused. How could he be so familiar with a big shot like Mr. Cheng?

Because Chen Xinghe arrived a little late, and Chen Xinghe himself joined the group late, Chen Xinghe punished himself with three cups as soon as he came up.

This time, Mr. Cheng panicked instantly. You must know that after Chen Xinghe punished himself with three drinks last time, everyone at the table drank a lot that day. With a roll of his eyes, Mr. Cheng quickly thought of a way and said :
"Xinghe, I have a cold and a fever recently. It's a pity that I can't have a drink with you. Now that Xiao Zheng and Xiao Tang are here, let them have a drink with you and Director Wang."

As the leader of the Shanghai film and television industry, as soon as Mr. Cheng's words came out, everyone said that they would have no problem eating and drinking with Chen Xinghe and Wong Kar-Wai.

Especially Zheng Kai, my position is not as good as yours, my fame is not as good as yours, and my acting skills are not as good as yours, but I just don’t accept it. How about drinking, can you, a young man, compare with me, an old man who has been in the industry for more than ten years? Give it a try.

It broke at the first touch. After a few rounds, Zheng Kai had already lost his way, and Chen Xinghe acted like a normal person, chatting and laughing with several actresses.

He is handsome, humorous, and well-spoken. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Chen Xinghe made several actresses very happy, and even Tang Yan let go of her grudges.

The meal was relaxed and happy, and everyone got closer at the wine table, except of course Zheng Kai who was carried back to the room by his assistant.

Chen Xinghe knew that these people in the Shanghai circle had some grudges against him as an outsider, not to mention that this drama was still telling the story of what happened in the Magic City, but Chen Xinghe still wanted to have a good relationship with them, after all, they still wanted to be together. It is not a good thing if the relationship becomes too tense after working together for a period of time.

After finishing the meal, Chen Xinghe added the contact information of several people and returned to the hotel.

Silent all night.

To be continued politely. .
