Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 245 - No, no

If you think about it with the director's vision and thinking, Chen Yu and Wu Jing in front of the camera at this moment each have their own advantages.

Chen Yu's appearance and voice are obviously much better; Wu Jing's mastery of dialect is far better than the former.

But it is really difficult for these two to use the word "good or bad" as a criterion for measurement and evaluation in terms of acting skills.

At least Chen Yu's unique interpretation of low-level scoundrels and street gangsters made Guo Fan very satisfied.

Although Chen Yu's super cute pretty face has nothing to do with the "dog rotten" group.

But he used his behavior to turn disadvantages into advantages to create a visual contrast.

For example, when Chen Yu, who transforms into a gangster, looks at people, he will first look at the hands and waist of the incoming person to see if the other person is carrying a sharp blade or firearm.

Different from the mostly scrutinizing gaze of law enforcers, Chen Yu's gaze was sometimes full of suspicion and sometimes full of contempt and provocation.

Coupled with his slightly rickety stance, it really makes serious people want to take a detour at the first sight, and other gangsters will also feel a sense of dislike for their fellow gangsters.

To be honest, Chen Yu's ability to perform so well is mainly due to his imitation ability.

After all, America is rich in hooligans, and you can roughly restore the virtues of that group of people with just a little recall.

Furthermore, as the son of a large farmer, Chen Yu often hung out with the cowboys hired by his father when he was a child.

The quality and character of these guys depends entirely on where they are.

On the vast ranch, cowboys are tough guys who are brave, decisive, and humorous. But as soon as they step into a bar, the tough guys immediately turn into jerks.

Chen Yu will be remembered for his various obscene jokes, dazzling obscene gestures, willingness to stir up trouble and his preference for fighting.

Therefore, playing the role of a gangster was too easy for Chen Yu, and he even had to be more restrained.

But the gangster he interprets is more American-style, which is different from those in China, mainly in the degree of "ruthlessness" shown.

From "Young and Dangerous" to "Conquest", the corporate elements in domestic movies and TV series are more or less pretending to be ruthless and deliberately making people scared at first sight.

Liu Huaqiang, played by Sun Honglei, also uses his inner self to assist and highlight his outer image.

However, Chen Yu's interpretation of the gangster made Director Guo Fan, Dilraba Dilraba, Meng Ziyi and Song Zuer feel disgusted at first glance.

"Stay away from him" was the first reaction and voice of everyone on the set. If Guo Fan was asked to comment, he thought Chen Yu's performance was more in line with the plot structure.

Qu Chuxiao, the male lead in "The Wandering Earth", is actually quite capable, but compared to Chen Yu, he looks very childish.

After all, Chen Yu fought his way to the top step by step from the octagonal cage.

Chen Yu can make the gangster he plays look annoying and also make him fearful.

Although his business ability is not enough to support the smooth transition between the two.

But as long as Chen Yu shows his state in the octagonal cage, even Wu Jing will be afraid.

So at this moment, Qu Chuxiao, who was standing in front of Chen Yu, was so stiff that he couldn't speak his lines. He didn't even have the courage to raise his head and look at Chen Yu.

The air on the set froze for nearly two minutes before Director Guo Fan said in an erratic tone, "Stop." Then everyone gasped in unison.

"Has he ever exposed himself at home?" Xie Nan caressed his chest while turning to ask Reba who was eating an apple.

After hearing this, Meng Ziyi and Song Zuer also cast curious eyes on Reba, but Wang Zhi was still looking at Chen Yu and trying to figure out his recent actions.

Wang Zhi also has a background as a heroine, but it was comedy that really brought her into the attention of the audience and peers.

But unfortunately, the popularity and traffic brought to Wang Zhi by "Charlotte Trouble" are almost exhausted. If she continues to rest on her laurels, she may have to return to her family.

Wang Zhi, who is one year older than Tong Liya, decided to get the certificate with her boyfriend around November this year.

As the director in charge of the set, Guo Fan naturally noticed Wang Zhi, who had a very serious expression. To be honest, compared to Reba, Song Zuer, and Meng Ziyi, Wang Zhi's professional level is really far behind those three, but Wang Zhi's Age and appearance limit her career.

Wang Zhi's appearance cannot be said to be bad, but her facial features are "bitter", which makes it difficult for her to be the protagonist. Even if she is the female lead, she is very picky about the subject matter of her works.

If Chen Yu or Wu Jing are talking about it, when Wang Zhi stands between Reba, Meng Ziyi and Song Zuer, he feels very much like those three elders.

It has something to do with age and experience, but the biggest influence is temperament. Wang Zhi's maturity is revealed naturally, while Reba and the others are purely pretending.

It is important to emphasize here that maturity is not necessarily directly proportional to age.

Similar to the fact that a man is a teenager until he dies does not mean that the man has a defective mind.

Wang Zhi plays the wife of "Liu Peiqiang" in "The Wandering Earth". If it were not limited by the space, Guo Fan would really want to add more scenes to Wang Zhi.

After all, in the cast of "The Wandering Earth", only Wang Zhi and Li Guangjie can be considered "veterans" with both academic background and rich acting experience. Wu Mengda had to go back to the hotel to rest after finishing work due to his physical condition.

Therefore, the important task of opening a small stove for Qu Chuxiao, Song Zuer and Qu Jingjing fell on the shoulders of Wang Zhi and Li Guangjie.

"Then you have to stop in moderation. Wang Zhi was asked by Tong Liya to come here as a guest star, and her boyfriend You Yi also worked as a photographer for the crew for free for a week."

Wu Jing turned sideways and waved gently to Qu Chuxiao while whispering to Guo Fan not to trouble Wang Zhi all the time.

Wu Jing felt that Guo Fan was a little careless in some aspects, and thought that the friendship between friends was far higher than the relationship between financial interests.

It's troublesome that Wang Zhi has been guest-starring and being a tutor for such a long time without showing any signs of it. When Chen Yu and Reba came this morning, they didn't say anything about preparing some fruits, pears, and peaches in advance.

The fruits that the girls were eating now were bought by Xie Nan, Meng Ziyi and Reba themselves.

Guo Fan never expected that the location manager and life producer he was looking for were also fucking awesome! The on-site arrangement was indeed very orderly, but the human relations were a complete mess.

Wu Jing never expected that Guo Fan, who is a technical director, would lead all his subordinates who are also technical talents.

If the production director and executive producer hadn't helped usher him in, the crew of "The Wandering Earth" would have been scolded by all the guest stars and scouts.

It happened that this morning the production director took Lei Jiayin to the airport while the executive producer sent Lu Yang home. As a result, when Chen Yu and Reba arrived, only Zuer and Xiao Meng went out to greet them.

Wu Jing admires Meng Ziyi very much. He thinks this girl from Ji Province has a cheerful personality and can say whatever she wants!
"So if we have the opportunity, we can bring Xiao Meng to collaborate on a movie." Wu Jing handed the warm water to Chen Yu and showed a very sincere smile.

Chen Yu took three big steps back after hearing this. He had no time to get involved in the film and television projects introduced by Wu Jing. Ever since "Wolf Warrior" achieved a small success, Wu Jing began to bet on the projects he was optimistic about.

"I only have two movies in total, my own "Wolf Warrior II" and "The Wandering Earth"!" Wu Jing raised the index and middle fingers of his left hand and waved them in front of Chen Yu's nose.

Moreover, Wu Jing has decided to wait for the results of these two works to come out, no matter whether they are good or bad, before he stops.

Because Wu Jing discovered that although Xie Nan remained silent, he was disgusted with his boldness in spending all his money on the project.

The reason why men make money is to make their parents, wives and children live comfortably.

Therefore, Wu Jing does not want to be as passionate and tossing in the future as he is now.

"Brother, I have gone to Europe and the United States to earn a living, which shows that I am even less willing to struggle in China. Don't force me." Chen Yu faced Wu Jinggong and held his hands.

There are many reasons why Chen Yu is resistant to pursuing a career in the Chinese film and television industry. In addition to his lack of foundation in China, there is also the meticulous and strict review process.

The review system of radio and television not only filters out the dross, but also makes the film and television types and themes that Chen Yu likes deteriorate one after another and even go backwards.

It is not Chen Yu’s turn to comment on whether the radio and television review system is good or bad.

But for Chen Yu, who has a very narrow acting career, completely returning to the European and American film and television markets is indeed the best solution.

"Hey, it's not okay to jump to conclusions without hearing the outline of the project." Wu Jing immediately took three big steps forward and walked to Chen Yu's side to introduce him.

Chen Yu made a pause gesture and emphasized that if it was "Wolf Warrior III", there was no need to waste time. He would definitely not act in such a masterpiece.

Wu Jing curled his lips and said "Wolf Warrior III". Even if Chen Yu invested and asked him to direct, he would have to refuse.

In recent years, films such as the "Wolf Warrior" series, "Operation Mekong" and the yet-to-be-released "Operation Red Sea" have exhausted the audience's feelings about home and country.

"If I still make "Wolf Warrior III" and continue to use patriotism to defraud money from the audience's pockets, I guess no one will be willing to buy my face from Wu Jing."

Wu Jing raised an eyebrow at Chen Yu. At this stage, the way to promote patriotism by working alone has been basically blocked by Wu Jing and a large number of subsequent films.

Wu Jing, who has become fat after drinking soup and eating too much, no longer wants to make money by selling patriotism. He has decided to stop and will return to his role as an actor.

"If you want to use the feelings of family and country as a cover again, it must be a big war scene, you know? My little arms and legs don't have that kind of energy."

Wu Jing shook his arms, sighed and shook his head, so it was good to be an actor and earn some steady money.

But this has nothing to do with the movie project Wu Jing is planning to discuss with Chen Yu.

Teacher Yu Qian, a children's equestrian promotion ambassador and vice-president of the Yanjing Rock Association, as well as a primary school student in the cross talk circle, plans to save a fortune and make a school film.

"This film has no explosions and no flying martial arts, so the cost is not high. I invite you just to gain popularity." Wu Jing said with a sincere face.

Looking sideways at Chen Yu, he was still indifferent. Wu Jing said that he would also make a cameo in the film, and at the same time, everyone in the industry, old and young, came to support him.

"I miss the green and beautiful campus life, and look for the shadow of the past and the ignorant and hazy taste of first love." Wu Jing smiled with a hint of wretchedness.

Chen Yu rubbed his glass of water and refused to get involved. Who among today's young people would want to watch a movie about bitterness and sweetness?
Chen Yu didn't want his figure to appear in works that were destined to hit the streets.

So even though Wu Jing tried his best to talk, his attitude did not change even a little bit.
"You're so stubborn! Then I'll talk to my younger siblings about guest appearances in this film. Do you have any objections to having my younger siblings play an art or music teacher?"
