The king of all people

Chapter 479 The New Movie Starts Shooting

(Chapter has been modified, sorry everyone)

"Ha, our most handsome male star in history is here!" Zhang Ziyi smiled and said casually.

Although Zhang Ziyi's successive boyfriends were not handsome guys, especially after her love affair with the famous host Sa Beining fell through, she was surprised to come together with Wang Feng.

Many netizens also blamed her for lowering her standards because of this incident, and they were very puzzled.

But at this moment, Zhang Ziyi has not debuted for a long time. Like most young girls, she has more or less the personality of the Appearance Association.Takeshi Kaneshiro is a well-known high-quality idol in China. Now that the two handsome guys have joined the same crew to film, the days on the set in the next few months will definitely not be too boring.

Li Xian's position has a relatively wide field of vision, which is convenient for her to look at Zhang Ziyi who is walking towards her. This is a new generation of Chinese actress who is most likely to break into the international film industry after Gong Li and Maggie Cheung by the media.

The filming has not officially started yet, and the actors have not changed into costumes yet. Zhang Ziyi is wearing a navy blue singlet, which is slightly curled to give her a little mature temperament.To Li Xian's surprise, she went into battle almost without makeup.

Zhang Yimou shook his head with a smile, put down the progress chart he was fiddling with, and took a step forward. "Xiaoxian, don't be surprised. Ziyi has always been quite shocked, but she has always been interested in you. No, you lost your composure when you appeared."

Zhang Ziyi is one of the girls that Zhang Yimou has taken over these years that he is quite satisfied with, as can be seen from his successive behaviors of asking her to film.Zhang Yimou's thinking is relatively conservative. He believes that too handsome a man is not a good thing. To be successful, you need to rely on real skills. The reason why you are optimistic about Li Xian has never been because of his looks.

interested?
Naturally, Li Xian would not be so simple as to directly believe the other party's words.Recently, the outside world has been praising his appearance, but it doesn't make him really lost in such a wave.To be frank, Zhang Ziyi has worked with many male stars in the past few years since her debut. What kind of handsome guy has she not seen?

The words I said to myself were basically polite greetings.

"Hello, you are also very beautiful." Li Xian stretched out his hand when he came and went. Speaking of which, Li Xian has lived two lifetimes, and today is the first time with the girl in front of him, but Li Xian has a subconscious impression of Zhang Ziyi not too good.

In the previous life, the relationship between Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi was not harmonious, it can be said that it is already a secret that is not a secret.

Especially after the widespread promotion on Sina Weibo, various jokers and big V users have revealed many unknown secrets, proving the gaps and gaps between the two.

You can't believe all the gossip news, but in the entertainment industry, you would rather believe what you have than what you don't have.

As the two most popular actresses in the 21st century, Li Xian can't guarantee who is right and who is wrong between Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi, but since Bingbing is now his girlfriend, Li Xian's point of view is naturally on her side.

For Zhang Ziyi, she just needs to be regarded as a colleague who will be filming with her partner.

"Hehe, Li Xian, hello, I'm Takeshi Kaneshiro, and I'm from Taiwan. I've heard your name for the past two years. Last time I didn't come to the "Run, Brother" celebration party, I was in a hurry to get to know you better. Today I finally have It's time."

Takeshi Kaneshiro walked out of the shed built in the scenic spot. The panda eyes in front of him for a week made him look a little haggard. After driving from Taiwan to Guizhou for more than a day, the quality of rest could not keep up.

"Brother Chengwu, to tell you the truth, my mother is half of your fan..." Facing Takeshi Kaneshiro, Li Xian's attitude was obviously much more enthusiastic.He had watched several of his movies when he was young. Li Xian remembers very clearly that when he and his mother saw the comedy movie "Chinese Dragon" starring Takeshi Kaneshiro, Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen on the Central Movie Channel in 95, they never chased after him. She kept boasting that the child looks really handsome...

Since then, whenever there is a movie starring Takeshi Kaneshiro on TV, my mother will take her to sit in the living room and watch it.

The three leading actors, after a simple introduction to each other, are considered to know each other.

After reading the list of actors sent by Zhang Yimou, Li Xian realized that the lineup of the film "House of Flying Daggers" is definitely a fantasy luxury.Except for Andy Lau, some of the other supporting roles are also different from the original movie in Li Xian's impression.

Li Xian plays the handsome hero Jin Butou, Takeshi Kaneshiro replaces Andy Lau's original role, playing Liu Putou, an undercover agent lurking in the government, and Zhang Ziyi turns into a blind girl for revenge , between love and long-cherished wish.

Song Dandan still took over the role of the old mother of Mudanfang, and other veteran actors such as Chen Baoguo, Chen Daoming, Donnie Yen, etc. are also included in the supporting cast this time.

"Okay, okay, time is tight, so we won't delay any longer. By the way, I sent each of you a script a while ago, have you all read it?" Once the preparations were completed, he did not intend to delay any longer.

Sending the script to the actors in advance is not a good thing for a crew that chooses to start the film in secret, and no one can guarantee that the script will not be leaked by those who want to.Zhang Yimou took such a big risk for the simple purpose of letting everyone familiarize himself with the content of the filming in advance. "House of Flying Daggers" is his second film after "Hero" that hits both commercial and word-of-mouth. Be serious.

As soon as the words fell, the people who were chatting and joking together before were taken aback for a moment, and then fell silent.The schedules of stars are generally very full. In the past, before filming, they also had a precedent of receiving scripts in advance. After a long time, they found that the crew usually set aside a few days for the actors to familiarize themselves with the content when the film was launched. I didn't care.

No one thought that Zhang Yimou didn't seem to be just talking.But let them stand up and bravely admit that they didn't read the script, and it would be strange if the media spread it and it would not be magnified by the media.

Even Zhang Ziyi gave up her plan to familiarize herself with the script in advance because of a skin care product endorsement.

Li Xian is a special case among this group of people.

From the beginning of filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", Li Xian has developed a habit of perseverance. At that time, he was weak and famous, and he cherished the hard-won opportunity of the protagonist.In order to perform better and avoid being temporarily replaced by actors, Li Xian often contacts the scenes in the script when he is free, and has not stopped until now.

As he quickly recalled the general story in the script of "House of Flying Daggers" in his mind, Li Xian did not notice the slightly embarrassed expressions of other people present. "Director Zhang, I've seen it. Will the scenes be filmed one after the other in the forward direction this time, or will they be filmed interspersed with scattered time according to everyone's schedule?"

Li Xian took over the film "House of Flying Daggers", which also has the meaning of learning Zhang Yimou's actual director ability.Being a director is no better than an actor. The more you shoot, the better your level of filming will be. Only by gradually learning various shooting methods and understanding various shooting angles can you make the film look good.

Zhang Yimou nodded approvingly, and Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Chen Daoming and others also praised Li Xian one after another, not because these people like to follow suit, but because they were surprised by Li Xian's meticulous thinking and secretiveness.

Only Donnie Yen, who has been acting separately from everyone, has emerged at this time.

"Yo, who am I? Is it called Li Xian? Let me tell you something you don't like to hear. Acting is not a test of an actor's ability to memorize lines. What is more decisive is whether an actor has potential, whether his eyes can speak, whether his mind is sharp... …

Donnie Yen is from Hong Kong. He has no idea whether the mainland will withdraw Chinese nationality, but for those people in the mainland entertainment industry,

Especially Li Xian, who is in the limelight, not only has a kind of illusory aura, but he is not inferior to him in other variety shows and family cultivation. Now he is the absolute number one in the new movie directed by Zhang Yimou. A celebrity who has been unknown for more than three years, why should he step on his own dime!
"Me?" Li Xian didn't know that he was hated by Donnie Yen for no reason, and shook his body in displeasure: "Brother Zhen is wrong, although I don't drink, I won't be hypocritical today. After that, he swallowed a large bottle of canned food.

"Acting is indeed a relatively comprehensive thing. To put it bluntly, whether I can act well or not is not something that can be determined by your own words. Brother Zhen, why don't you care about yourself more? Apart from being good at kung fu, you can also work hard. something better."

Donnie Yen opened and closed his mouth as if he had heard something incredible, but he didn't answer a word for a long time.

What he said just now was rather cryptic. Even if he could hear the meaning of slandering Li Xian, it would be difficult for outsiders to make something out of it. He thought Li Xian was a "puppet" artist who listened to everything corporately. Now it seems , is entirely his own personal conjecture...

This Li Xian doesn't play cards according to common sense at all!
Isn't he worried that media reports will report that he is not polite and likes to play big names? ?
Having worked hard in the industry for many years, Donnie Yen, who was stunned for a moment, soon recovered.

"It's not a skill to be able to play tricks. It's useful to read the script in advance. "House of Flying Daggers" is not the movie you used to love mother-in-law and mother-in-law. I hope that after the filming starts, you won't be able to bear the suffering and cry."

Li Xian pursed his lips and shrugged noncommittally. "Thanks for the kindness, and you too."

Although "House of Flying Daggers" is Li Xian's first costume martial arts film, it does not mean that Li Xian has no experience in filming this type of scene.You know, he was able to grit his teeth and persevere through the inhuman torture suffered by the crew of "Death is Coming".

"Since most people haven't read the script in advance, you should prepare it this morning, and shoot the first scene in the afternoon."

Seeing Donnie Yen's anger burning more and more, Zhang Yimou frowned and arranged for everyone to leave first.He is indeed the chief director of this film, but the conflicts between the actors are beyond his control. In addition, Donnie Yen is an actor arranged by the investor. Although he hates each other as much as Li Xian, But it cannot be reprimanded blatantly.

But after this episode, Li's impression in Zhang Yimou's mind has improved a lot.

A man who is timid can never achieve great things. Li Xian fought back against him without giving the opponent face today. Although it is not justified in terms of etiquette, in the face of real strength and reason, etiquette can be regarded as a fart.

After explaining the task, Zhang Yimou temporarily left the set, went out to Huangguoshu Waterfall with the logistics team, and personally checked and selected some temporary performance props with them.

The chief director was not present, and the few actors who had gathered together just now dispersed in an instant.

Zhang Ziyi, who was the first to greet Li Xian, let out a cold snort and walked past Li Xian with her head held high, ignoring everyone.She has no interest in the conflict between Li Xian and Donnie Yen. Before she took the initiative to say hello to Li Xian, it was because of Zhang Yimou's face, and secondly, she wanted to use the "handsome comparison" between him and Takeshi Kaneshiro in the boring studio. Find some interest here.

As a result, Li Xian's attitude towards her was actually lukewarm, which made Zhang Ziyi, who had always been admired by many stars, sullen all of a sudden.

As soon as she debuted, she was favored by directors of Zhang Yimou's level, and her proud status as a girl shined in the entire entertainment circle, and then she successively played the leading role in the annual masterpieces of various famous directors.There are so many female artists in China, and Zhang Ziyi was proud of being able to beat many opponents time after time to stand out.

In her bones, she thought that she was the absolute protagonist wherever she went, and she was absolutely admired.

At least from the current point of view, none of the actors in the crew of "House of Flying Daggers" caught her eye.

The film "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" directed by Li Xian is indeed still among the top ten box office Chinese movies, and he has indeed starred in several high-grossing commercial movies, but Zhang Ziyi has never thought for a moment that Li Xian's acting skills or directing ability are so extraordinary.

Those films of his are either tainted with youth topics to gain gimmicks, or rely on other big directors and actors to make up the lineup, and Zhang Ziyi also knows that Li Xian debuted as a singer, an actor who has become a monk, what qualifications does he have to compete with her? This kind of pure and genuine academic characters are on par?

Not to mention acting skills, just the breadth of vision and knowledge, then there are two types of people on the same level!

"Brother Li Xian, don't worry, Ziyi has such a personality, she shouldn't be malicious." Takeshi Kaneshiro met Zhang Ziyi two years earlier than Li Xian, but the degree of acquaintance was only limited to the level of meeting by chance.Coincidentally, the handsome-looking man himself is also a member of the Appearance Association. He has always thought that Zhang Ziyi, who is exquisite-looking, is at most just a little girl with a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart...

Li Xian did not refute Takeshi Kaneshiro, but he did not give any other explanations.

Speaking of which, the crew of "House of Flying Daggers" this time is the first time he has met so many people who are "duplicate" since he made several films in more than three years since his debut...

Everyone said that the entertainment industry is very deep, knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, and many people who appear to be sincere are just acting on the spot.In the past, Li Xian felt that this was groundless nonsense, but after this, he somewhat believed in the truth of this sentence.

Kaneshiro Takeshi being able to tell him this means that he is at least a friend who can make friends.Li Xian wouldn't be so petty that he would talk bad things about a star with him behind his back, so he directly skipped the topic, and dragged him to the stone platform beside him to discuss about movies.

After all, the two are "catch-up" partners with plenty of rivalries in the play.

Coincidentally, the film "House of Flying Daggers" has a slightly similar concept to the gangster film "Infernal Affairs" starring Li Xian.

After Zhang Yimou repeatedly discussed with the two screenwriters Li Feng and Wang Bin, he made a special design in the script: the three protagonists have their own false identities.

The three are deceiving each other, but after peeling off the cloak of falsehood and deceit, they will finally find that the feelings they have developed in the process are real.

When Takeshi Kaneshiro heard that Li Xian had acted in an 'undercover' movie, his eyes immediately became hotter.He has been suffering from image problems before, and has been called a male vase many times by the outside world, which hinders the further development of his acting career.

This time in "Ambush from Ten Daggers", the role of Liu Catcher is very emotional, and the inner expression before, middle and later stages of the film is even more exciting. If you can more perfectly guess the inner world of this character, you will naturally be able to perform it. A lot of extra points.

At that time, he will have the opportunity to get rid of the burdensome title of "male vase".

----

After the lunch break, the logistics team led by Zhang Yimou rushed back to Huangguoshu Waterfall in the mountains.

The movie will start shooting in the afternoon, and the makeup of the actors is the first problem to be solved.

They were away from home, and the set was in a scenic area far from the town. Except for Zhang Ziyi and Donnie Yen, the rest of them did not bring a personal make-up artist with them.

Li Xian had to appear in the first scene, and Zhang Yimou arranged for him an experienced makeup artist, but not a senior.

Rao Li Xian, who has always been calm, couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the other party. This age seemed to be no more than 20 years old.Maybe it's really because of her skillful makeup, she actually exudes a faint mature temperament that doesn't match her age.

"Mr. Li, hello, if there are no accidents, I will lead the whole process of your styling and makeup in the crew of "House of Flying Daggers." The voice of the makeup artist is relatively clear, with a girlish feeling.

"OK, just don't make it too ugly."

There are not too many requirements for the appearance of Li Xian, as long as it conforms to the image of the character and is not outrageous.But for some reason, the voice of this young makeup artist always gave him a very familiar feeling...

PS: I just arrived in Shenzhen at 11 o'clock today, and the official internship will start on the 16th. I may not be able to keep full attendance in the future. I will try my best to keep it updated.Thank you for your subscriptions, rewards and votes, good night.
