Superstars start from the Academy of Film and Television

Chapter 491 starts filming.

"What? I'll act?" Han Fei was stunned. He was caught off guard by Jiang Qinghou's proposal for a while, perhaps because he was so impressed with the original version that he never thought about himself.

However, in Jiang Qinghou's opinion, Han Fei is indeed the most suitable candidate: "First of all, Zhang Mazi used to follow General Cai E to Japan. Although he became a bandit, he is different from ordinary bandits. I think We had a wrong angle in choosing actors before, you don’t have to be a gangster to be a bandit.”

Well, Han Fei admitted that what Jiang Qinghou said made sense, but he still had concerns about whether to play Zhang Mazi. After all, Jiang Wen's performance in the original version was really amazing, and this time he was competing with two movie stars again. One can imagine the pressure.

The three protagonists in "Let the Bullets Fly" complement each other, and if one link is missing, the charm of this drama will be greatly reduced. This is absolutely not allowed by Han Fei.

"Okay, I'll take it." After thinking over and over again, Han Fei decided to take the role. The last time he played against Shen Yiming made him remember deeply, and he can obviously feel the improvement of his acting skills. As an actor, he also has a lot of pursued.

Besides, Shen Yiming and He Mingyu are the Best Actors, and he also won the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actor, so he is also the Best Actor, right?

"Great, then shall we start the machine?" Jiang Qinghou said with a smile.

"Well, turn it on!"

Soon the news that "Let the Bullets Fly" will hold a launch conference next week was quickly exposed by the media. For a while, everyone was puzzled. There was no news a while ago, why did it suddenly announce that it was going to be launched?

Of course, what makes the audience most curious is, besides Shen Yiming and He Mingyu, who will play the three main characters in the play?There are already two big movie kings, will they just make up the top three movie kings?

It's no wonder that everyone is looking forward to it. After all, Shen Yiming and He Mingyu are famous for picking scripts. Their ability to take over "Let the Bullets Fly" shows that the script of this drama will be very exciting, and Jiang Qinghou's crew has never let it go. People have been disappointed before, so one can imagine what the quality of this movie will be. If it can be a showdown between the three best actors, it will be exciting to think about.

However, soon some netizens said: Don't dream, the two film kings are already the limit, I have never heard of it, has the king not seen the king?
There are indeed such unwritten unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, because there is actually a gap in the acting skills between the best actor, for example Nicholas Tse is also the best actor, Tony Leung is also the best actor, can they be the same?
And acting skills also need the blessing of the script. There is only one male lead, and you let one actor act as a foil for another actor, why?
So generally at the level of actor, one is very careful in choosing scripts, unless one is really short of money or needs to repay a debt of favor, otherwise one seldom plays a supporting role for others.

In addition, there is another most important reason, actor's net worth is relatively high, generally speaking, if there is one actor in a film, the budget is very tight, adding one more is a big burden, let alone three actor?
Uh. Netizens said that they understand the truth, but can you stop saying it so bluntly?Can you still make people daydream?
Joking aside, movie fans are still paying close attention to all the trends of "Let the Bullets Fly", and all kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky, either today a certain actor joins, or tomorrow a certain actress is confirmed to star, anyway, things in the entertainment industry, as long as there is no It may change until the final announcement, let's talk about it after a wave of enthusiasm.

Finally, a week later, on the day of the "Let the Bullets Fly" press conference, the reporters swarmed in and were blocked outside the crew. Jiang Qinghou came out with a group of leading actors for interviews.

"Excuse me, Director Jiang, why didn't Han Fei come to the press conference as a screenwriter? Didn't he participate in the filming?" The reporter immediately exploded.

Jiang Qinghou's tone was a little weird: "Uh, of course he will participate in the filming, but he hasn't joined the group yet."

Well, since Han Fei is not here, the reporters' attention is naturally on Shen Yiming and He Mingyu. The two film kings are on the same stage, which has rarely happened in recent years.

The opening press conference went on for half an hour, and Jiang Qinghou ended the press conference with the excuse that the crew was about to start filming, and the reporters could only sigh in relief.

"Phew, it's finally dismissed. Dealing with these reporters is much more difficult than filming." Jiang Qinghou let out a sigh of relief.

Shen Yiming nodded approvingly, and He Mingyu also smiled. After so many years in the industry, who hasn't suffered from reporters?
In fact, it's not that Han Fei didn't join the group, but he was thinking about the script. Although he wrote the script, who told him that he never thought that he could play Zhang Pocky?

"Hey, why don't you just let this temporary hug?" He Mingyu teased.

Han Fei rolled his eyes when he heard it: "Go~~~ It's not that I don't know that I have been carefully pondering the script for a few days."

Shen Yiming still remembers the thing about this guy ruining his honeymoon: "You kid also has today, why did you go so early."

"Haha~~~" The two looked at each other and laughed, showing signs of collusion.

"Several teachers, the scene is almost ready, shall we do the styling first?" The staff asked cautiously, the two movie kings, plus their own boss, this is not easy to serve.

"Okay, let's go then?"

"Go."

It can be seen that Shen Yiming and He Mingyu should have been looking forward to this day for a long time, and obviously they have already understood the characters thoroughly.

"Hmph, let's go." Han Fei was furious. Isn't this clearly looking down on him?
The scene shot by the crew today is the beginning of the film, when Mr. Tang, or the county magistrate, appears on the scene. A small train is driving on the railway. There are three people sitting on the train, Mr. Tang, Ma Bonde, and the county magistrate's wife.

Qin Bailu played the county magistrate's wife. Although her acting skills can only be regarded as mediocre, she already has her own style for playing this charming young woman, and she is still very popular with the audience.

As for the real Mr. Ma, in the film, he is a pure actor. The total appearance of the scene is less than 2 minutes.

Jiang Qinghou directly asked an assistant director to step up, um, even the salary was saved, I have to say, it's a badass.

"The wind blows and the clouds fly"

It has to be said that Shen Yiming's acting skills have reached the level of returning to the basics, and he portrayed the image of a proud county magistrate to the fullest.

"Ka, that's great, this one is over." Jiang Qinghou shouted.

Shen Yiming raised his eyebrows at Han Fei in shock, as if to say: It's your turn, that expression made Han Fei's nose crooked.

"It's almost done, that kid is already under a lot of pressure, don't overdo it."

There is no play by He Mingyu today, but he is still watching from the sidelines. As an actor, he not only has to study the role, but also the performance style of the actors who play the role. If you have to come and go, then there is something to watch, just like Donnie Yen once After playing Guan Yunchang, Jiang Wen turned it into Cao Cao Biography.

Shen Yiming took a sip of water leisurely, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you have mastered the measure, and don't look at this kid as if he doesn't care about anything, but in fact he is high-spirited, so you have to put some pressure on him, otherwise this kid will It can't explode."

He Mingyu thought about it, nodded, and stopped talking.

In the next scene, Zhang Mazi, played by Han Fei, appeared. The horse bandit embedded two axes on the train track. Afterwards, Han Fei took aim with his gun. After a few shots, the small train pulled by the horse was unscathed. His subordinates asked: "Brother, why is there no movement?"

Then Zhang Mazi put his arms around his chest and pretended to be aggressive: "Let the bullets fly for a while."

Of course, these shots were shot separately. Han Fei rode on a horse and held a prop gun, but he looked pretty good. After the whole shot was shot, Jiang Qinghou frowned slightly.

how to say?This pockmarked Zhang doesn't look like a bandit.

In fact, after Han Fei finished his lines, he also felt that something was wrong. What was wrong?Suddenly Han Fei's mind flashed, and he thought of a line in the original version, when Chow Yun-fat looked at Zhang Pocky with a telescope: "Exposed domineering, courting death!"

That's right, Zhang Mazi is such a domineering person. He has been to Japan, seen the market, and participated in the revolution. Even now that he is a bandit, he has no concept of "inferiority". Always proud of it.

"Huh, do it again." After Han Fei finished speaking, he picked up the gun again.

This time, Zhang Mazi's demeanor really changed, his body was straight, his toes were high, his hands were green, and the trigger was in the fingers of his right hand.

"Let the bullet fly for a while."

"Ka, this feels right." Jiang Qinghou's eyes lit up.

The next shot is the horse bandit overturning the small train. In fact, the horse-drawn train is a metaphor. At that time, the Qing Dynasty had already realized the importance of reform, but they were reluctant to bear the power in their hands, so they engaged in a The mighty Westernization Movement.

In 1881, due to the large output of Kaiping Coal Mine, transportation became a problem.Tang Tingshu, the general manager of the Mining Bureau, wants to build a railway.Prior to this, Li Hongzhang asked the Qing court to lay a railway, and had been arguing with conservatives for more than ten years.

At that time, the royal family was worried that the paved railway would make it easier for foreign aggressors to transport troops, which would cause a ruling crisis.The scholar-bureaucrats thought that the black smoke and the loud noise of the trains were really harmful but not beneficial.The poor people think that the construction of the railway will destroy the fields and affect Feng Shui.

Under the background that almost the whole country opposed the construction of railways, Li Hongzhang used the name of building express roads to cheat Tang Tingshu to build railways.

But the railway was repaired, but the Qing government did not allow the use of locomotives, because near the train track was the Qing Dynasty Tomb located in Zunhua by the Qing government. For fear of affecting the imperial mausoleum and thus affecting the dragon veins, the railway did not operate in the end, and the most absurd thing in modern history appeared. The farce - the horse-drawn train.

The train symbolizes the people of the country who are eager for reform, while the horse is equivalent to the decadent Qing Dynasty. Can these bad horses move the train of the people of the whole country?
Obviously it was not possible, so a large number of revolutionary ancestors overthrew the decadent Manchu Qing Dynasty, but will the later Republic of China be just fine?In fact, it was just that the warlords took over the reins from the Qing Dynasty, and the lives of the common people were not even as good as the Qing Dynasty.

And Zhang Mazi's few shots are his ideal. He wants to overthrow the control of the people by these bad horses. The reason why he said "let the bullets fly for a while" is actually a metaphor. The revolution cannot succeed immediately, but he firmly believes that it will succeed.

Shen Yiming and He Mingyu looked at each other, although they didn't say anything, they both saw a smile in each other's eyes.

Dou Dizhu still has to be fun for three people to play. Wouldn't it be too boring if it became a two-person game?

The next filming went relatively smoothly. Both Shen Yiming and He Mingyu had worked with the crew before, so they were familiar with it. However, no matter how many times they had worked together, the two would be impressed by the efficiency and professionalism of the crew. Congying has experienced the crew over the years, There is no crew that can turn around several times a day and get off work on time.

"Come on, arrange a seat here, another one in the other corner, and arrange an oval slide rail here."

The crew is nervously setting up the theater, and everyone has serious expressions on their faces, because everyone understands the importance of this scene.

That's right, this is the part where Huang Silang invites Zhang Mazi to his bunker. This scene can also be called a classic scene in Chinese movies.

After a period of filming, Han Fei has a better understanding of the character Zhang Mazi, but he still has no idea about this scene.

In the original version, Jiang Wen, Ge You, and Chow Yun-fat played together on the same stage in this ten-minute scene, which can be said to be an unprecedented scene in Chinese-language movies.

Three characters, three distinct stances, and three completely different personalities are all shown in this 10-minute shot, which is undoubtedly a huge test for the actors' acting skills.

Moreover, Jiang Qinghou planned to use long shots to show this part, so he would be more critical of the performance of the actors, and would have to start over for a small flaw.

The three of them stood in a triangular position, Huang Silang, as the host, naturally took the seat, and Zhang Mazi sat opposite Master Tang.

"Let the bullets fly, No.30 second act, first shot, action"

Following the order from Jiang Qinghou's microphone, the entire crew began to operate, and the lights and cameras were turned on throughout the process.

Zhang Mazi, played by Han Fei, pointed to the medal on his chest: "Mr. Ma (pretending to be Ma County Magistrate) was bought as an official. The purpose of buying an official is to make money, and Mr. Ma doesn't like to make money from the poor."

He Mingyu played Huang Silang, turned his head and asked, "Then whose money do you want to make?"

Zhang Mazi smiled: "Whoever has money will naturally earn it."

Huang Silang seemed more interested: "Then who has money?"

"You have money!"

"Haha~~~ Refreshing, whatever the county magistrate likes, just take it."

"No, Mr. Ma is not a bandit, but a county magistrate. The county magistrate must pay attention to a legitimate name to make money."

"Understood, we have two big families in Goose City, who sell their people to America to build railways and make money."

At this time, Master Tang, played by Shen Yiming, spoke the first line: "Hey, why are you still talking about knives?"

Huang Silang snapped his fingers: "No, the money used by Americans is called a dollar."

Jiang Qinghou looked on the monitor and nodded secretly. At least from the current point of view, the performance of the three of them is perfect, but these are just appetizers, and the real feast is yet to come.

Huang Silang put his thigh on the table: "I'm just one of Dutong Liu's legs, but now my leg is useless. Ten times, Zhang Mazi robbed me eight times. Tell me, how much does he have?" rich?"

Master Tang immediately joked: "We don't have the courage to suppress bandits, but we still have the courage to make money in the name of suppressing bandits, and it's very big."

This paragraph can be regarded as exposing the darkness of the officialdom in the Republic of China. In the era of war and chaos, the collusion between officials and businessmen, officials and bandits, and the collusion between the government and foreigners, isn’t it the common people who are oppressed?

But the common people can only trust the government, because they have no other way, which is why the revolution can succeed.
