Huayu: Female celebrities are looking for treasures in me

Chapter 85 The crew of "The Sound of Wind" is the most beloved! The opening scene of the group of demons
"Besides that," Zhang Li changed the subject, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the media reporters. He spoke calmly, "You are all excellent media professionals who keep up with current events, are well-informed, and have strong professional skills."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Xun and others' expressions changed slightly.

What Zhang Li said didn't seem like flattery, but rather a compliment.

"I'm sure you know about the incident with the lead actor of 'Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together' that everyone was paying attention to a few days ago."

"I am Zhang Li, the actor who plays the male lead Murong Yunhai."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people whispered to each other.

They are certainly familiar with the incident involving the leading actor of "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together", which was discussed by many netizens a few days ago and attracted a large number of official media to comment.

But their focus is on Zhang Han, how Mango TV and Tianyu responded, and how the Central Academy of Drama will deal with Zhang Han.

Apart from those who are more concerned about the drama "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together", they are definitely concerned about the most core issues.

As for Zhang Li, they had certainly heard of his name, but few of them had done any special research to learn more about him.

So it was quite surprising that he mentioned this matter now.

"That's a brilliant answer."

Li Guofu, Huang Xiaoming and others secretly praised in their hearts.

Zhang Han, Zhang Mo, "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together", the name change incident, and the different handling of the Central Academy of Drama are all hot news topics now, and people from all walks of life are watching the show and discussing it.

As the real male lead of "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together", Zhang Li can be said to be at the center of the news and public opinion storm, but he has not received much attention because he is not famous.

Now that he revealed it on the set of "The Whisper", everyone's attention has turned to the fact that the actor who played the third male lead in "The Whisper" is the male lead in "One X Rain".

"The Whistleblower" helped Zhang Li gain more attention in the news and public opinion center, and "The Whistleblower" was promoted to the whole society with the help of Dongfeng.

When something like this happens, no one, whether the investors or the directors or the starring actors, will be angry.

No matter how much Zhang Li becomes popular, it cannot change the fact that he is only the third male lead.

The reporter's eyes flashed with surprise, and he continued to ask: "But you didn't say whether you feel any pressure."

"I thought my answer was clear enough." Zhang Li's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "I'm a newcomer, but I've been recognized by the directors and producers of three TV series, and even by the two directors of 'The Whistleblower'."

"I think everyone can look forward to my performance."

“Of course there will be pressure, but more importantly, there will be happiness.”

"I believe I can learn a lot from working with Teacher Wang Zhiwen, Brother Xun, Sister Bingbing, and Brother Xiaoming."

These words are a bit sharp, but they don't make people feel that they are bullying.

The reporter asked again: "Do you think you can compete on the same stage with these well-known and outstanding actors?"

Zhang Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he had guessed that this reporter was deliberately arranged by someone to cause trouble for him.

This kind of thing is very normal in the entertainment industry.

"My friend, your word choice is problematic." Before Zhang Li could respond, Zhou Xun suddenly spoke up, "A film isn't made by just one or two actors; it's a collaborative effort between all of us, with everyone contributing a little."

"We are in a cooperative relationship, not a competitive one."

"Brother Xun is right." Li Bingbing secretly felt that he had been beaten to the punch. He immediately followed up to defend Zhang Li: "We want to make this movie well, not rush for the limelight."

"Not to mention that Zhang Li performed very well in the audition, he got the role of Bai Xiaonian based on his own strength."

"He's young now, and even if he has some shortcomings, he has the director and us seniors around him."

"It's natural to be able to perform at the level that it should be."

A group of reporters: "."

Among the two ice queens and four actresses, you two are the most ferocious.

When I heard that you wanted to have two female protagonists in "The Whistleblower", I wondered how many people were waiting to see the show.

It’s hard for others to tell if there’s competition when they act together, but there definitely is between you two.

But now they are saying such high-sounding words together.

As expected, he is a talented actor.

"I've known A-Li for five years." Huang Xiaoming said gently, trying to smooth things over. "He was only thirteen at the time, and it was his first time acting, but he played the role of young Yang Guo very well."

"After so many years of study, he is still a student of Beijing Film Academy. His ability will definitely improve. Let's wait and see."

As soon as Huang Xiaoming opened his mouth, people like Director Li Guofu and Duan Yihong also spoke up.

This situation stunned all the media reporters, and they all speculated about Zhang Li's background in their hearts.

These directors and stars are all shrewd people, and they don’t speak up for others out of kindness.

For Zhang Li, a newcomer, to be able to make them "speak up for justice" can only mean that he has a background.

When they thought of this, those who originally wanted to ask some eye-catching questions all gave up.

Zhang Li: “.”

How did he become the group's favorite for no apparent reason?

The opening ceremony ended quickly and the group came to a room.

The staff began to make arrangements as they were going to shoot a start-up scene today, hoping for a good omen.

I don’t know whether he wanted to see the strength of all the actors at once or he trusted all the actors.

The first scene selected by Li Guofu was the scene where a group of actors "caught old ghosts" in a secret place. It was a group play among the leading actors.

If anyone drags their feet, the scene may have to be reshot.

At the same time, if someone performs poorly in such a scene, the contrast will be very obvious.

But if you perform too well, you might even start a "war".

Zhang Li was confused, but that didn't stop him from preparing to perform well.

The role of Bai Xiaonian has so much screen time that no matter how well he performs, he can never steal the limelight from the other leading actors.

Besides, none of Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing and the others were ordinary people, so they were not overshadowed by him.
No matter how well he performed, he was only adding color to "The Sound of Wind" and making himself stand out.

There is no need to worry that others will think he doesn't know the rules and is stealing the show.

On the contrary, problems would arise if he really acted in a restrained manner, making people think that his acting skills were not good.

"When the actors enter the stage, they first look for camera positions and states."

"Photographers, please take your positions and aim your cameras at the stairs. We'll take a bird's-eye view later."

Li Guofu set up the scene with a loudspeaker.

In a restaurant, people were sitting on both sides of a long Western-style dining table.

On the side near the stairs, from left to right are Zhang Li who plays Bai Xiaonian, Zhou Xun who plays Gu Xiaomeng, and Li Bingbing who plays Li Ningyu.

Opposite Zhang Li is Zhang Hanyu who plays Wu Zhiguo, and opposite Li Bingbing is Ying Da who plays Jin Shenghuo.

Everyone is adjusting their status.

Zhang Li doesn't need that. He can just turn on the BUFF after the performance starts.

But he needs to be more restrained, not in terms of acting skills, but in terms of feeling.

In the original version of "The Sound of Wind", the character of Bai Xiaonian was a little lacking.

That's because Su Youpeng wanted to portray the feeling of "Rabbit God" too much, and coupled with his speaking accent, he ended up portraying the feeling of a eunuch, too feminine and not sissy enough.

The feeling he decided to perform was that of Yu Huatian, played by Chen Kun in the future "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate".

Being feminine is not being effeminate, and I feel like I have to find the right one.

"Brother Ali, I heard that you wrote a sketch script for Uncle Benshan and are going to perform on the Spring Festival Gala?" Zhou Xun suddenly spoke to Zhang Li.

Zhang Li: “.”

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

If Zhou Xun knew about this, then Li Bingbing and others must also know about it.

He still underestimated how well-informed these people were, but Uncle Benshan's show on a stage like the Spring Festival Gala did attract attention.

These people just spoke up for him at the press conference, and this may be the reason.

"Yes." Zhang Li didn't hide it, and answered with a sideways smile: "I have been watching Uncle Benshan's sketches since I was a child. I heard that he hadn't confirmed his program for this year, so I tried to write one. I didn't expect that he would take it seriously."

"Uncle Benshan called me this morning and told me that the script has been approved and that I should start rehearsals tomorrow for the fourth rehearsal."

"I have to ask the director for leave later. If he's angry, please ask Brother Xun to say a few words for me."

"Haha." After getting an affirmative answer, Zhou Xun blinked her eyes and nodded with a smile: "Sister, I can help you, but you can't just rely on your mouth, right?" It can be imagined that Zhang Li's weight in her heart is not low now.

"CJ08" was chosen by Stephen Chow and became the box office champion in the first half of 2, with a box office of over million yuan.

"If You Are the One" was valued by Feng Xiaogang and became the box office champion in the second half of 08, with a box office of over 3 million yuan.

In terms of songwriting, there are "Unparalleled in the World", "Painting Heart" and "Pian Ai", all of which are very good.

If you don't take action, it's fine. Once you do, it's amazing.

The dramas to be broadcast include "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Immortal III", in which he plays the second male lead.

Maybe it will become popular after it is broadcast.

Promising and capable.

Wouldn't it be stupid not to make friends with him before he rises to prominence?

At the press conference, it was just a few nice words.

No one is unwilling to do it.

"Take me out to dinner when you have time. Quzhou cuisine, Shaoxing cuisine, or Hangzhou cuisine are all fine." Zhang Li responded with a smile, "Or I can cook for you myself? I can try to find some Jiaxing flavors for you, Sister Xun?"

From Brother Xun to Sister Xun, this is to bring the relationship closer.

The former is a respectful title within the circle, and the latter is a private friend.

"Yes, I forgot you're from Hangzhou." Zhou Xun nodded slightly, his fair skin glowing under the light: "Okay, I'll wait for you to cook for me."

Zhang Li was about to say something when Li Bingbing's voice came from the other side of Zhou Xun: "Brother Li, do you know why the director arranged this scene?"

"I don't know. Please give me some advice, Sister Bingbing." Zhang Li was very humble.

He really didn't have such information.

"I just want to test your acting skills." Li Bingbing replied with a smile: "If you perform well, he will immediately approve your request for leave for the Spring Festival Gala."

"But if you can't act well, you'll have to be a little tired for the next while."

Zhang Li suddenly realized.

It turned out that Li Guofu wanted to test him.

If it's okay, I'll give him leave. If it's not okay, I'll definitely give him leave. After all, he will be more beneficial to "The Whistleblower" after performing in the Spring Festival Gala.

But we must be strict with him and give him reasonable challenges.

Nowadays, all directors who can make movies like to train actors.

"Thank you for telling me, sister. I will definitely do my best later." Zhang Li's expression became serious.

Zhou Xun frowned slightly and curled his lips subtly.

Li Bingbing's words reduced her contribution and also earned her some credit.

Even though she only gained his favor with a few words, she still felt unhappy.

The more people fight for something, the more fragrant it is.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

A few minutes later, Li Guo picked up the loudspeaker.

"Attention all units."

At the Western dinner table, the mental outlook of all the actors changed instantly.

Zhang Li picked up a chopstick on the table and activated the "Bai Xiaonian character BUFF".

In just a moment, his temperament changed.

"Exon!"

The director's voice sounded.

The script supervisor picked up the clapboard and clapped it.

The blackboard lists the shooting location, scene number, and shooting time.

"Snapped!"

As the voice fell, Zhang Li's temperament changed, and he began to tap the bowl rhythmically with his chopsticks.

Under the director's command, the camera slowly descended from upstairs, covering the entire dining table from top to bottom.

The camera then moved to Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing. Zhou Xun took a bite of the dish very naturally, then put his face in front of Li Bingbing and said, "Eat it, why don't you eat it?"

As soon as she said this, Zhang Li put his chopsticks aside and looked forward with a gloomy face.

Li Bingbing smiled faintly at Zhou Xun, seeming somewhat embarrassed, and said nothing.

Zhou Xun sat up straight again and looked diagonally across.

The camera then turned and fell on Yingda's face.

"Crack~"

Ying Dajiang slammed his chopsticks on the table, his mouth twitching, his eyes falling on Zhang Li on the other side of Zhou Xun, and began to criticize him: "A monster is a monster, it's not a human. It can't become a human even if it practices for thousands of years."

The camera switched to Zhou Xun and Zhang Li's faces, taking them both in.

Zhou Xun said in a bad tone: "Director Jin, who are you scolding?"

Zhang Li picked up the chopsticks and started tapping them again.

Yingda glanced at Zhang Li and said sarcastically, "Mr. Rabbit, you are all useless."

The camera moves back, taking in the entire dining table, and finally lands on Zhang Li.
At this moment, both the actors on the stage and Li Guofu and others in front of the camera looked serious.

The first few small actions are not very advanced, they are just doing specific things at specific times.

Now the key is to give a close-up shot and speak the lines.

A good movie can have all the sound recorded live, rather than post-dubbing that makes people feel disconnected.

Whether Zhang Li is a dragon, a bug, or just an ordinary person, the truth will finally be revealed.

"We're eating, why are you arguing?"

Zhang Li sat up straight, picked up a water cup and put it to his mouth, with a hint of impatience and indifference in his eyes.

And his lines surprised Li Guofu.

When auditioning, Zhang Li's voice was too sharp.

The direction of finding the character's feeling is correct, but the state is too much.

But now, the tone is still the same, but not too harsh or sharp.

This is what a Rabbit God with backbone looks like!

It was at this moment that Zhang Li's eyes suddenly changed, with a hint of maliciousness in them.

"hiss!"

Following the screen, Li Guofu was shocked.

Zhang Li raised the water glass and threw it away.

"Shu~"

The water in the teacup flew out with great force, all splashing onto Yingda's face.

The second camera was now focused on his face, capturing his confused expression.

Immediately afterwards, Yingda slammed the table and stood up: "Hey, damn it!"

That angry look doesn't seem like he's acting.

Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing reacted almost instinctively, trying to stop him, shouting, "Director."

Zhang Li turned his head and spoke with disdain in his eyes: "Don't stop him, let him fight!"

"Coward, I don't believe he can get hard."

Zhou Xun and others: "."

Hiss, this bastard deserves a beating.
