Actor: Thank you.

Just like fools can have advantages.

Smart people also have shortcomings.

The shortcoming of most smart people is that they are easily blinded by their own nature and immediate interests.

This is why our ancestors placed great emphasis on keeping one’s edge and being simple.

Smart people are often ruined by being "too smart" and "overconfident".

Yang Xiu, Xie Jin and others were all like this.

So the "great intelligence" of poet Chen... he is inherently better than ordinary people, both in terms of family background and ability.

Although everyone laughed at "The Promise", the fact that he was able to make "The Promise" shows that his ability has surpassed 9% of directors.

Well, such a smart and confident person would definitely think about it.

"Dig up the lawsuit between me and the video creator!"

"This kid is shameless!"

Especially seeing the overwhelming opposition against him on the Internet, Zhang Yuan was hailed as a "hero" by young netizens.

As a younger generation in the entertainment industry, how can you not be a hero if you dare to challenge your predecessors?

Just like Don Quixote.

When I first heard it when I was young, I felt like I was riding a horse with a gun in hand, challenging the windmill.

This person is either a chuunibyou or mentally retarded.

But when you become an adult, especially when you enter society and encounter injustice and power, you will discover it.

Don Quixote is both dramatic and romantic, a kind of heroism that is both absurd and alternative.

But the reality is ridiculous.

Poet Chen turned his head and took a look.

"I've become a bad guy!"

For ordinary people, if they are ordinary people or neighbors, they would probably stop there if they just thought about this.

Just stop swearing, I have to go find Zhang Yuan to fight!
But he is smart!
Need to think about it.

The more I think about it, the more something seems wrong.

Especially after confronting Lao Han.

"Zhang Yuan has come here to curse me, what's wrong with you?"

"I told you to calm down, why are you still going on like this?"

Zhang Yuan's job is an actor.

The actor's duty is to bring the audience into the preset situation through performance.

Zhang Yuan's phone call criticizing poet Chen was setting up a scenario for Lao Han in which he would be humiliated.

After being told everything by Old Han, poet Chen was still confused.

It wasn't me who did it!

Old Han wouldn't lie to me.

That wasn't done by Zhang Yuan either.

After all, no one messes with themselves.

Who did that?
The more Poet Chen thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

“There are still bad guys!”

OK!

Fortunately, I am extremely intelligent, thoughtful, and have rich experience in the world.

Even though you did it perfectly, you were still exposed in the end.

I found it!
Someone is trying to take advantage of the conflict between me and that kid to cover up the truth!
There are bad guys in our industry!

The more poet Chen thought about it, the more he felt it was right.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been deceived.

Fortunately it’s me!

"But who is this thief?"

The clever director couldn't help but think...

"I want to hit ten!"

On the set, Zhang Yuan held his head high and chest puffed out, staring blankly towards the second floor of the set.

Through the monitor, Ye Weixing seemed to see two flames rising in his eyes.

Not only that, there is also... violence!
That kind of decisive and murderous rage.

According to the script, the Japanese officers were standing on the second floor, so when Ip Man said he wanted to fight ten of them, he had to look towards the second floor.

However, when filming, there were no actors on the second floor, so there was no performance object and no way to get feedback from the opponent actor.

In this case, he showed a very contagious look, which was enough to show his ability.

"Okay, get ready for the fight scene." Ye Weixing asked the extras to go on stage.

Zhang Yuan twisted his neck and prepared himself.

In the scene just now, he recalled and imitated the tyranny that Li Lianjie had in the early stage of "Huo Yuanjia".

That's why Ye Weixing felt that he was ferocious.

In the movie "Ip Man", fighting scenes are very important.

However, Zhang Yuan believes that this one-vs-ten battle is more exciting and memorable than the final battle with Miura.

Because Master Liao had just died, Ip Man was determined to "avenge" him regardless of the danger.

It’s the coolest scene in the whole film.

And Master Liao was killed by a hidden gun, and he didn't even die from boxing or fighting, so the Ip Man here should be the one with the highest anger value among the previous and subsequent films.

Later, when he faced Tornado, Tyson, and Patton, none of them were as fierce as this one.

Because the following people are all Westerners.

Emotionally speaking, they are not as exciting as the Japanese devils.

Zhang Yuan also mentioned this when he was discussing the play with Ye Weixing and Sammo Hung.

In this battle, he not only needs to be fierce, but also brutal.

The moves must be fierce and vicious enough.

Because of the previous rendering, the audience must be filled with hatred when they see this.

It was to the extent that even tearing the Japanese apart with bare hands wouldn't satisfy his hatred.

The fight must be brutal to meet the audience's expectations.

When Sammo Hung and Leung Siu-lung were designing the action, they added a lot of scenes involving broken bones and muscles, which were performed with the help of stunt actors.

A lot of special effects sounds of bone cracking will also be added in the later stage.

This job is something that Big Brother is very familiar with.

In order to demonstrate to Zhang Yuan, the senior asked his assistant to go to the nearby market to buy some celery.

It has to be the kind of celery with particularly thick branches.

With a twist and a bend, the sound of a broken bone in the movie comes out.

And when the celery is fresh, the sound is crisp, as if it is broken into two pieces.

The older the celery, the slower the sound, and it sounds like broken bones with tendons still attached.

Before filming began, Zhang Yuan had taken care of everything with the extras so they didn't have to worry about getting hurt.

Use the right moves and use as much force as you can to make the fight satisfying.

I also told them in advance that if they were hurt, they should tell me immediately.

Everyone was ready and just about to start shooting when the assistant came up to them with his cell phone.

"Hello, Mr. Yang."

Old Yang from Eagle King called him.

"what?"

"Okay, I'll treat you tonight."

"As it should be, we are all friends."

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it."

Yang Shouchen told him that someone was coming to visit the set.

When Zhang Yuan heard this, his heart moved.

Good news!
Because the person who came was none other than Jiang Wen, whom he met on the set of "The Founding of a Republic".

He said he was coming to Shanghai with his wife and friends.

It's normal to come and play or visit the set.

I have also had a drink with him and it was quite enjoyable.

But if he came to play, why did Yang Shouchen call me to take care of him?

This is not simple!
Zhang Yuan calculated the time and it was already the end of 08, and it was almost the New Year, 09. Logically, the play should have started preparations, right?
Want me to act?

It doesn't take that much effort.

There’s no need for the director to come to me, I’m not that big of a star.

I went there as soon as I received a phone call.

So it’s definitely not just about acting.

Zhang Yuan calmed down and decided to make the best of it.

After they arrived and I drank a few cups of Erguotou, everything became clear.

There's no need to guess here.

"Director Jiang Wen will come to visit the set in a while." He went to talk to Ye Weixing.

"No need to make special arrangements. He is quite casual and not the kind of person who cares about ostentation."

"Just let him in any way he wants."

Jiang Wen is quite familiar with the Hong Kong circle, so it was settled right away and the crew didn’t have too much worries.

After an hour or two.

Wearing black-framed glasses and with a face full of stubble, Jiang Wen walked into the set in a carefree manner.

His wife Zhou Yun followed him.

As soon as I came in, I heard cheers from the whole audience.

"Ouch!"

Looking more closely, in the center of the venue, in front of the camera, a man was punching continuously at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, and was madly attacking a man in a karate uniform who was already lying on the ground.

That fist is fast!
There are afterimages left.

Jiang Wen took a closer look and wondered who else it could be except Zhang Yuan.

He had seen the other person act on the set of "Founding of a Republic" before.

The literary drama is not bad, very steady, and the actors get into the mood very quickly.

But I didn't expect that the other party was both civil and military!
He makes movies, so he understands.

Shooting can be done with borrowed angles and accelerated.

But now I’m seeing it with my own eyes. The opponent is beating me with his bare fists, it’s so fast!
It’s exciting just watching!

But at this moment, Zhang Yuan raised his hand after throwing the last punch.

"Card!"

"No, no."

“You can’t shoot like this.”

Then he waved and called Ye Weixing over.

"There are problems with the connection between several actors."

"They were too slow, which left me with gaps in my movements."

"If the connection is not smooth, the filming will definitely not be satisfying."

"If you don't believe me, let's watch the replay."

"I believe it, I believe it. You tell me how to change it..." Director Ye greeted politely and made adjustments according to what he said.

Oh?
Jiang Wen took a look and asked, "Didn't you say he was the leading actor?"
The director listened to him.

interesting.

When it comes to being the "bully on the set" who is aggressive towards everyone, Jiang Wen is second to none and no one dares to say they are first.

The filming of "Furong Town" gave Mr. Xie Jin a headache.

The key point is that he annoys the director during the day, but still has time to "drop by" the heroine's room at night.

Liu Xiaoqing is also a character. If she cheated, she would admit it openly.

Later, when filming "Red Sorghum", Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou quarreled all the time.

There is not a day without quarrels.

I have to figure it out in detail.

But there is one good thing about Lao Mouzi. He is a technical person and he won't hold a grudge if what you say makes sense.

Not as face-conscious as poet Chen.

Later, when filming "If You Are the One", I also sought cooperation with Jiang Wen.

When filming "Looking for the Gun", I was annoyed by Lady Lu.

Lu Chuan's background, personality and temperament are quite similar to those of Chen Shishi, but the two broke up completely after the filming.

During the filming of "The Barber", he directly called Chen Yifei an idiot and ran away after just a few days of filming.

For Jiang Wen, quarreling with the director is basically a daily routine for the crew.

If you can bear it, bear it. If you can’t bear it, let’s break it. I won’t let you!
He has the aura of a great man in the capital who refuses to submit to anyone.

So, he doesn’t like any director, so he has to “rebel” and start making his own movies.

So when I saw Zhang Yuan yelling at the director on the set, I felt that he was similar to me.

And he was even happier to see that Ye Weixing obeyed his orders.

That's how it should be!

You should listen to whoever makes the right decision, and don't always use your position to pressure others.

"Director Jiang, Sister Zhou, here we come!"

Zhang Yuan was communicating with Director Ye when he looked up and saw the two of them.

"What are you taking pictures of?"

As soon as he saw the set, Jiang Wen's old problem came back.

Regardless of whether it is his home court or not, he has to give some pointers.

"Isn't the light too dim?"

"How much did you spend on this place?"

"I think there's an echo in this place, I wonder if the radio can work."

Zhou Yun kept pulling him from the side.

"Why are you picking on me? Let's discuss work."

He was still not happy.

Zhang Yuan didn't care and answered them one by one.

"The scene just now was about beating up the devils."

"It's good to fight the Japanese. It's fun. It's really fucking fun!" He became excited when he heard this.

"Your look just now was quite fierce, that's good."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Wait a moment, I have arranged a dinner after work, let's eat and drink together."

"Okay... By the way, there are a few friends coming too, some of whom you know and some you don't." Jiang Wen said casually.

"It's okay, we'll all get to know each other after a few drinks."

"readily!"

"Ok, deal."

This drama is too big and too complicated to be completed in one day.

After more than a dozen shots, the stunt actors were almost exhausted, so they called it a day and took a break.

I found a big hotel nearby and sat down.

Zhang Yuan also pulled Wu Jing over to have dinner together.

In addition to him, he also called over several big names in the crew such as Ye Weixing, Sammo Hung, and several more famous actors such as Simon Yam and Lin Jiadong.

Jiang Wen is a big director after all, and everyone is willing to have a meal with him to strengthen their relationship.

"Hey, Uncle Ge!"

"You're here too!"

After a while, the bald Ge You also came to the dinner party.

"You're here too."

Zhang Yuan was shaking hands with Uncle Ge when he noticed Chen Kun also came in.

"Everybody sit down, everybody sit down."

Several more people arrived one after another.

There are Liao Fan and Sun Honglei.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan became even more certain.

Jiang Wen came here specially today just for the movie that later became famous, "Let the Bullets Fly"... (End of this chapter)
