Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 179 Damn Kang Honglei!

When he learned that the script was about to be finalized, Chen Long could no longer sit still.

Instead of waiting anxiously, I decided to fly directly to Beijing. After arriving, I didn't even bother to eat first, and I just kept reading the script.

The old-fashioned storyline did not disappoint Chen Long.

On the contrary, Zhen Jiecheng did not rely on his "genius" to innovate boldly, nor did he engage in "literary youth" self-admiration, which made Chen Long breathe a sigh of relief and made him admire his maturity and experience in commercial films even more.

However, doubts are inevitable. No matter how much attention is paid to a transformational work, it is never too much.

"Jie Cheng, isn't the image of this protagonist a little too... I mean, some of his behaviors."

"Use any means necessary? No moral principles?" Zhen Jiecheng took over the conversation. "It doesn't conform to the traditional public aesthetics and violates basic moral cognition?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Long nodded, "That's what I mean."

"But in the West, under the guise of 'family affection', he saved his lovely 'daughter' as a 'father'. Public opinion is always particularly tolerant of this 'father', no matter what he did, isn't it?"

Women, or feminists, will definitely support it!
At the same time, Western values ​​are also different from those of China.

The latter is "the big family comes first, then the small family", while the former is "family comes first".

“Never choose an Italian as your teammate, unless he is from Sicily.” The Godfather series, as a classic gangster film, has also deeply rooted the Sicilians’ concept of “family” in people’s hearts.

There is also the "Fast and Furious" series. Although I rob, I commit crimes, I drive dangerously, and I abuse guns, I am still a "family".

As long as I am your "family", you may not support my approach, but you must agree with my motives, otherwise it is not right!
"Emm, you are right." Chen Long nodded, "That's true!"

"Ok! Then let's talk about the second point. Brother, if you were a viewer and put yourself in the protagonist's perspective, tell me if it would be cool or not!"

Chen Long did not answer immediately, but frowned and thought for a while.

Killing is decisive and without any delay.

The behavior of breaking out of confinement is not only novel in the stereotyped "rescue" series of action movies, but also brings people the "outlaw"-like excitement of breaking social rules!
To put it another way: it caters to the "rebellion" deep in the hearts of the general public!
So I raised my head,
"Cool!"

"Okay, now for the third point. The opening did not choose the traditional action movie structure of making a splash, but was a straightforward narrative. Brother, this is my attempt! Of course, this is not for the sake of being original or different, but..."

After a pause, Zhen Jiecheng looked at Chen Long in surprise.

"Brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Ah? Do my eyes look weird?"

"Very strange!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded.

"Hahaha!" Chen Long laughed heartily, "Then just pretend you didn't see it!"

"By the way, Jie Cheng, you don't have to continue. You are the director, I will listen to you!"

The reason why geniuses are geniuses is that they can always create different styles based on the original framework.

The original framework was also built by the geniuses of the previous generation using their "fresh" ideas at the time.

The old-fashioned story is a recognition of the "classics", and the innovative pioneering is the pride of genius.

Innovation certainly has risks, but without it, if one simply relies on old practices, how can a transformational project succeed?
Thinking of this, Chen Long suddenly became enlightened and no longer worried.

"Jie Cheng, tell me, how can I cooperate with you?"

"First, in terms of acting." Zhen Jiecheng looked Chen Long in the eye. "Brother, although the world always has fixed labels for you and Jet Li, as a director, I know very well that the two of you are not only representatives of martial arts, but also have profound skills in literary drama."

"But, it's not enough!"

"Your face shape means you can't play the traditional Hollywood cool spy role."

"So we can only dig deeper and jump out of the most superficial stereotypes."

After a pause,
“Give me some examples!”

"Sun Honglei's "Conquer", I wonder if you have heard of this TV series?"

"I've heard of it!" Chen Long nodded.

"Sun Honglei fits the image of a gangster very well. This is a superficial facial stereotype, another way of expressing his true character."

"Another example is when Bao Qi plays a migrant worker. The same is true!"

"As for Mr. Ding Yongdai's "The End of the Road 1997", brother, I strongly recommend you to watch it. This is a typical example of using acting skills to subvert the stereotype."

"Not only did it not make the audience feel uncomfortable, but it made them feel that this is how a gangster should be."

"You too! I don't want you to pretend to be cool with a straight face, because that would only be an imitation of others. In certain situations and contexts, a hearty smile can create a creepy visual effect with just a few adjustments."

"As long as you perform well, the audience will think you are a real agent!"

"On the contrary, the identity can be recognized at a glance. The fixed agent's facial image looks childish!"

Stretch out your hand and show three fingers in succession.

“Lines, micro-expressions, body language.”

“All three aspects need to be improved!”

Without waiting for Chen Long to answer, he continued,

"Then there are also aspects of movement that need to be adjusted!"

"It's not that I don't recognize your achievements and experience in action movies, nor do I distrust the ability of the many action directors in the Cheng family team."

"Brother! This time I want to add another level of quality to your 'Kung Fu' label!"

"Oh?" Chen Long became interested. "What's the quality?"

"National Arts, not Martial Arts!"

"Only killing, no performance!"

Chen Long's eyes changed.

I kept repeating to myself, "Only killing, no performance," and the more I repeated it, the more I looked forward to it.

"Jie Cheng, tell me in detail!"

"Abandon all the flashy moves, and make each move deadly. Complete the killing at the lowest cost, rather than making a big move!"

"That is to say, you can use it to keep fighting. Even when you are 60 years old, you can still be active on the screen as an action star!"

"The premise is that our film can be successful and receive positive response from the market!"

Hearing this, Chen Long tried to adjust his breathing, but couldn't.

His chest was heaving violently!

I tried to calm myself down, but still couldn't do it.

Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were fiery.

"Jie Cheng, keep talking! I'll listen to you!"

"Okay, big brother. Regarding the movement adjustment, I suggest you go up and ask for the contact information of some specially hired instructors in our army."

This is not a leak; the country has already made it semi-public.

Zhen Jiecheng still remembers some related video materials he saw: an old man, estimated to be in his eighties.

He was holding a stick and fighting a soldier, demonstrating to the officers and soldiers. The range of his movements was obviously very small, but suddenly he blocked and then stabbed.

Poke the balls, poke the throat!
Either the joints or the vital points, using the opponent's force to counter the opponent's force, there is no unnecessary movement throughout the process.

Zhen Jiecheng covered his throat, clamped his legs together, and felt a chill on his back!

"So, big brother, you will be very busy from now on! Busy improving your acting skills and busy learning the routine moves."

"After learning the routine, you have to take it back to a professional action director for fine-tuning to make it more in line with the artistic expression of the film."

"I won't get involved in this. Let professionals handle professional matters!"

"But the inspection must be done by me! Only when I nod my head will the action be considered passed!"

"No problem! You are the director, I'll listen to you!" Chen Long, who had been completely attracted by Zhen Jiecheng's promise, blurted out without hesitation.

"It's better to be busy! I like to be busy!"

“I’m just afraid I won’t be busy enough!”

“Or busy without direction!”

Standing up, shaking hands and then hugging hard,
"Jiecheng, thank you for your hard work!"

"Jie Cheng, please!"

"Brother, look at what you said, isn't this also my movie?" Zhen Jiecheng said with a smile.

"Hahaha, you're right!" Chen Long patted Zhen Jiecheng on the shoulder, "Then let's work hard together and cheer together!"

It's another nice day with wind and sand.

Liu Xiaoli got up early, prepared breakfast, and then invited everyone to eat.

"Eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a light dinner. So, both of you must finish eating!"

Yes, Jing Tian stayed at Liu Yifei’s house last night.

After spending some time together, the two saw their own shadows in each other, so they became particularly compatible and soon became good sisters.

"Okay Aunt Liu, I will definitely finish it!"

Jing Tian responded while chattering with Liu Yifei.

It's lively and bustling, in contrast to the past.

Watching this scene, Liu Xiaoli's mood inexplicably improved.

It's just that the look in his eyes is a little weird, or he doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Liu Xiaoli originally thought that Shu Chang was the best match for her daughter, but unexpectedly there was another expert!

The same serious attitude, the same passion for chicken soup, the same dreams, the same amazing talent!

The way they debuted is similar. Although Tiantian had stronger support behind her, the essence of the experience is the same.

Oh yes, even the wisdom radiating from the big eyes is exactly the same.

This is simply outrageous!
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli scratched her head in annoyance.

It's quite frustrating like the parents of poorly performing students going to a parents' meeting.

After dinner, I had to drive these two "students" to "school".

New "school"!
New "teacher"!
I only lasted three days with my last school and teacher, and this is the fourth time I’ve changed schools in two weeks! Liu Xiaoli doesn’t know how many times she will have to change schools next. She just hopes that she can last a little longer this time.

Even if it's four or five days? One more day is progress, it's victory!

It is said that teachers at the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy no longer answer calls from people outside the school.

It is said that faced with the mockery from the Central Academy of Drama, the acting department was too lazy to resist and simply shrank their heads and lay down.

The media suddenly broke the news: Liu Moufei traveled to many places to take acting lessons. A reporter called Beijing Film Academy for an interview, but the call was hung up as soon as he opened his mouth. When he called again, no one answered.

Liu Xiaoli was also numb about this.

What can I do? Nothing can be done!
My own child!

He is nearly 1.7 meters tall and weighs more than 90 kilograms. There is no way he can be put back into the furnace!

What's more, now I have a half-sister.

"Don't talk anymore after you finish eating. Hurry up and change your clothes, then we'll set off!"

"Oh, by the way, let's go to the People's Art Theatre today to see teacher Feng Yuanzheng!"

"I remind you two, you must work hard this time! Teacher Feng Yuanzheng's temper is different from the previous teachers."

"I asked around, and it seems that Mr. Feng may not be acting in "Don't Talk to Strangers"!"

"Not only neighbors and friends, but even veteran employees who have worked at the People's Art Theatre for decades all suspect that Mr. Feng beat Liang Danni."

"Because Liang Danni's mother, Mr. Feng's mother-in-law, was heard by colleagues at the People's Art Theatre when she called Mr. Feng!"

Liu Xiaoli was too lazy to verify the truth of the news and just dumped out all the facts she had found out.

It would be great if the deterrent created could effectively promote the progress of the two.

"Anyway, I've already reminded you, you two can handle it yourselves."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei and Jing Tian looked at each other, and couldn't help but think of the plot and scenes of "Don't Talk to Strangers".

shocked!
I'm panicking!
After changing clothes in a hurry and getting into the car, they no longer laughed and chatted as before.

silence!

Silence is the main theme today.

Until I arrived at the People's Art Theatre and saw Feng Yuanzheng.

The scenes in the TV series fall into reality and gradually match each other.

A huge pressure suddenly descended upon them, weighing heavily on their hearts, causing them to tremble.

"Hello, teacher!"

"Yeah! Hello to you two too!"

Feng Yuanzheng frowned and replied in a low and powerful voice.

Feng Yuanzheng did this on purpose.

The experiences of the first three victims also put Feng Yuanzheng under great pressure.

However, I had no choice but to fall for Kang Honglei's trick ten days ago. He was treated with good food and wine, greeted with kind words, and given massages and gifts. Before I could react, I inexplicably agreed to the promise.

By the time I regretted it, it was too late! Because I couldn't get through to Kang Honglei on the phone, and I couldn't find him either, as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

As a last resort, they had to bite the bullet and receive these two stubborn people who were already "famous" in the industry.

And try to make teaching smoother by establishing the image of a strict teacher. Strive to achieve progress as soon as possible, and pass the buck immediately to the next person after barely handing it in.

"sit down!"

"I have already received relevant information from the previous teacher about your previous performance."

"But for the sake of rigor, I still need to test your background first."

"Jingtian, you come first!"

"Yes! Teacher Feng!" Jing Tian nodded obediently.

"Act out the nervousness first."

"Good teacher!"

Jing Tian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and his mind was filled with An Jiahe’s ferocious expression.

When he opened his eyes again, Feng Yuanzheng's serious and slightly stiff face was right in front of him, and he shuddered subconsciously.

Hmm? The conditioned reaction was well acted! Feng Yuanzheng was surprised. Although the action was simple, it was quite difficult to perform it so naturally.

So I became interested and looked carefully.

I suddenly saw Jing Tian's breathing begin to quicken, but it didn't happen all at once.

The frequency of the chest rising and falling is not fixed.

Not bad, not bad, quite interesting!
The eyes are dodging, and the micro-expressions are captured very subtly.

The fingers of his left hand were wrapped around the corner of his clothes, his legs were close together, and the toes of his canvas shoes were clearly moving.

Oh my god, this body language is great!
Just in this one emotional interpretation, he has already reached the standard of a talented actor!
It’s not that other actors can’t use these techniques to express themselves, but they can’t use them so naturally and realistically!

"Now it's turned into fear!" Feng Yuanzheng suddenly said.

"Ah?" Jing Tian was stunned.

After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that he was still in a daze, Feng Yuanzheng slowed down his tone but remained serious.

That is: the mouth moves but the skin does not.

His eyes were staring straight ahead, and his facial expression was as stiff as a sculpture.

Only the throat and lips moved.

"Now show terror, do you hear me? Do you understand?"

Every word he spoke was spoken in an exceptionally calm tone.

Seeing this, Jing Tian swallowed his saliva.

The eye sockets were dilated, the pupils were shrunken, and the muscles were tense.

The body began to tremble slightly and the rapid breathing suddenly stopped.

"Speak your lines." Feng Yuanzheng reminded.

"Tell me what?"

Not bad, not bad, you have insight!

Incorporate the "lines" into real-life reactions and use them flexibly.

The vibrato and pauses are also used just right!

The more Feng Yuanzheng thought about it, the more he felt that this "stubborn stone" was not untreatable, but that the three previous victims did not use the right method.

Girls of eighteen or nineteen are at a period of time when their minds are wandering, so they must be treated sternly.

After all, if you are friendly to her, she will dare to laugh with you.

In this way, can you still learn it?
Thinking of this, Feng Yuanzheng raised his tone and became more severe.

"just saying!"

"Just say whatever you want to say!"

"I'll just give you a scenario, like I'm a violent murderer right now!"

"Look at me! Look straight at me!"

As he spoke, Feng Yuanzheng's expression was already distorted vividly.

"Robbery, rape, murder!"

"Throw away the body and destroy the traces!"

"And you, you can act too!" He turned and looked at Liu Yifei.

"what!"

The shrill screams echoed in the People's Art Theater Auditorium.

"Yes! That's it! Keep going!"

Tears as big as beans flowed out of his eyes like crazy.

"No, don't come here!"

Body language is irregular, spot on!

The lines are not just simple tremolos, but also mixed with pauses caused by difficulty in breathing and interference of tears on the vocal cords. It's the essence!
The expression was distorted, including the eyelashes, pupils, and whites of the eyes. The cheeks were red, and the skin on the lips was pulled and turned white because the mouth was opened too wide when screaming.

All the subtle parts and adjustments make the emotions particularly full and vivid.

What a seedling!

Just as I was thinking about how to praise without being stern, I heard footsteps and laughter outside the door.

The door opened and the dean came in with a smile.

wave,
"Yuanzheng, Chen Long is coming to our People's Art Theatre for exchange, and he's almost here."

"Come on, let's go to the gate and welcome him!"

"Brother Chen Long?" Liu Yifei was stunned. "Tiantian, isn't your character the daughter of Brother Chen Long?"

"Yes! Yes!" Jing Tian wiped away her tears.

Hearing this, Feng Yuanzheng seemed to be thinking about something.

If this is the case, then there is a reason why this newcomer named Jing Tian has to make up for his acting skills temporarily.

But isn't Chen Long's new work a collaboration with Director Zhen? What does it have to do with Kang Honglei?
and many more!

Kang Honglei signed with Director Zhen’s company!
That is to say, Kang Honglei, who has recently been labeled "tama de" by his victims, was "tama de" by director Zhen, who was born a "tama deity"?

Feng Yuanzheng discovered the blind spot!
