Chapter 74, Catch one person and fleece them relentlessly.
Rosamund Kwan was dumbfounded by what she saw!
Is the Jiangnan region so popular in mainland China?
These young people, who looked exactly like college students, were actually crying and begging for his autograph, especially the guy with pimples all over his face. Jiang Nan just shook hands with him.
This kid went crazy on the set of "Arrogance," raising his right hand and shouting:
"I don't plan to wash my hands for a year, because my hands smell of Jiangnan."
Holy crap...
This is insane!
Just as Rosamund Kwan was feeling incredulous, Tsui Hark, who was eating a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), walked over.
"Ah Guan, don't think about it anymore."
"These are all Jiangnan's classmates. I contacted them to be extras. If you want to see more, they have even more outrageous performances."
"wipe!"
Before Xu Ke could finish speaking, Guan Zhilin secretly gave Jiang Nan the middle finger.
"Mom, I thought you were so awesome, but it turns out it was all a lie."
Jiangnan didn't see the beautiful woman's gesture.
After greeting their classmates in this special way, they all went to get their makeup done. The character Ni Yan, played by Rosamund Kwan, was about to have her wedding ceremony. These people, along with professional extras from the Beijing Film Studio, were to play the guests.
Just as Zhu Yuanyuan, Li Naiwen, Tang Xu and other classmates left, Jiangnan, who was holding a horse, stood in a small alley next to the ancient street. As soon as he stood there, the female script supervisor raised the scriptboard in her hand.
"Action!"
Jiangnan wore a straw hat and a worn-out black outfit, his white cane tapping the ground, with a thin, bony old horse behind him.
A man and a horse, following the scent of wine, walked to the outside of the wooden fence.
"Shopkeeper, bring me a pot of wine," Jiangnan said in a low voice.
Rosamund Kwan, dressed in a red wedding gown, was busy setting out the dishes for the wedding banquet with several of her bridesmaids when she heard the sound and turned around.
"Sir, I'm sorry, but I'm getting married today. The newly brewed wine in the jar is only for guests and not for sale."
Jiangnan stood still, without moving an inch, only her Adam's apple bobbing slightly.
"Hehe... sorry, I couldn't resist the aroma of the wine."
"hehe…"
Seeing that Jiangnan looked travel-worn but showed no sign of malice, Guan Zhilin smiled slightly and said:
"Since you're craving wine, there's no need to buy any. Just come in and have a drink as a congratulatory gesture."
...
Jiangnan is filming!
There were quite a few industry insiders watching.
Director Wang Jing, producer Xiang Huasheng, kung fu star Li Lianjie, renowned Taiwanese producer Yang Dengkui, Taipei Film Studio director Cheng Zhigu, renowned martial arts choreographer Yuan Bin, renowned producer Shi Nansheng, and Gao Jingwen, a teacher at the Central Academy of Drama.
No one had any other thoughts.
I just wanted to see how a 19-year-old student could portray the江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) spirit in a movie.
It's worth noting that last year, when Zhao Wenzhuo played the Nine Gates Admiral in "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu," he couldn't act at all; he didn't even know how to find the camera's position.
To teach Zhao Wenzhuo acting, director Corey Yuen went to great lengths, not only personally demonstrating the acting but also designing a special gesture for him to look at people sideways.
And now, another 19-year-old martial arts star has emerged in mainland China.
But to everyone's surprise, Jiang Nan only stood on the filming set once, and the image of a ghostwriter who had seen through the chaos of the world, whose heart was desolate, who only killed for bounty, but still retained a trace of morality in his heart was perfectly presented to everyone.
They have no eye contact; they act entirely with their ears.
When Rosamund Kwan delivers her lines, Jiang Nan doesn't look directly at her. Instead, he slightly tilts his ear and turns his neck slightly, using his hearing to detect the other person's location and emotions. His facial expressions are restrained, rarely fluctuating wildly.
Emotions are always hidden in the subtle movements of the mouth, jaw, and shoulders.
"Hmm, this is interesting!"
After staring at Jiangnan for a while, Wang Jing nodded first.
"It's really good. It doesn't look like a role played by a 19-year-old student at all." Even after seeing it with his own eyes, Xiang Huasheng still found it hard to believe.
This sense of world-weariness and vicissitudes cannot be faked without considerable life experience and the harsh realities of society.
But Jiangnan, by its very nature, perfectly captures this feeling.
"It's alright!"
This kid from Jiangnan was very clever when he took the art exam. In a group of 10, they performed a skit called "On the Bus," with some playing pregnant women, some playing thieves, and some playing policemen...
Only Jiang Nan sat in the driver's seat, playing the role of a bus driver. Seeing Jiang Nan's amazing performance today, Gao Jingwen, his homeroom teacher who led the class to participate in the film, rarely praised his student.
"Hmm... actually, dramatic scenes are just about posing, but in kung fu movies, the most important thing is to fight beautifully on screen."
Li Lianjie was about to say those words, but after thinking about it, he swallowed them back.
When everyone is praising Jiangnan, it seems a bit inappropriate for me to suddenly disagree.
Just as he was thinking this, he felt a fragrant breeze. He turned his head and saw a very beautiful woman walking towards him from a distance, carrying three red plastic bags in her hands.
One pocket contained sunflower seeds and peanuts; another pocket contained a dozen or so packs of cigarettes and a dozen or so lighters; and the last pocket contained bottled water.
"Hello Director Wang, I'm Huo Wenxi, Jiang Nan's assistant and also his agent. Would you like to smoke, eat some sunflower seeds, or drink some water?"
"I can just drink water."
Wang Jing didn't stand on ceremony. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a bottle of mineral water, twisted off the cap, and took a sip.
"Hello Mr. Yang, I have met you before. You and your wife came to our mall to buy clothes. I must say, your wife has a really good temperament."
Even a very ordinary piece of clothing looks like it was custom-made on her.
"Yeah?"
Looking at the outgoing young woman in front of him, he wasn't sure if he and his wife had actually met her before.
"Hello Mr. Xiang, do you still remember me?"
There was this very beautiful girl who was crying and begging to marry you in our mall. I was the one who came to your rescue. I told her that if anyone was going to marry, it would be me marrying President Xiang, not you.
"Hahaha…"
Xiang Huasheng smiled happily.
He was very popular in Hong Kong, and girls often expressed their love for him in public. This was even frequently featured in entertainment magazines. But he never expected that this beautiful girl in front of him could talk about his past gossip in such a humorous way.
Compared to the lively conversation of these people, Gao Jingwen seemed a bit dejected. He wanted to take advantage of this occasion to build good relationships with people in the Hong Kong film and television industry so that he could pave the way for his other disciples in the future.
But there's nothing I can do; I can't speak Cantonese.
Therefore, Gao Jingwen refocused his attention on the performance in Jiangnan.
"Action!"
"Thank you, young lady!"
After saying thank you, Jiangnan led the horse into the courtyard and tied the reins to the manger.
Rosamund Kwan took a rough earthenware wine bowl, filled it with wine, and handed it over.
At this moment, sunlight fell on the red silk, and neighbors, relatives and friends walked into the street-facing tavern while chatting and laughing.
Jiangnan didn't speak, but took the wine bowl, his bamboo hat covering his eyebrows and eyes, and tilted his head back to drink a mouthful.
"Where do you come from, sir?" Rosamund Kwan asked.
"Wandering the martial world, earning a living by wielding a sword."
Upon hearing this, Rosamund Kwan's eyes flashed with curiosity, but she didn't ask any further questions and turned to greet the other guests.
Leaning against the eaves, Jiangnan held his white cane, a rare trace of calm appearing on his face.
"OK, passed!"
In this era, there was no director's monitor. As the director, Tsui Hark watched Jiang Nan's performance on set. Seeing that there were no problems, he exchanged a glance with cinematographer Wong Yue-tai and called "cut" right there on set.
As soon as he gave the order, Yuen Woo-ping and his team entered the venue.
Four martial arts masters are installing the pulley system, which will be used to carry out the wire work later.
Two martial arts instructors stood before Jiang Nan. Yuen Woo-ping merely nodded to them, and the taller instructor suddenly struck, grabbing his fellow disciple by the neck…
Jiang Nan knew that they were demonstrating to him what exactly the Bone Crushing Hand technique designed by Master Yuan was like.
But watching their movements, Jiang Nan felt a chill run down his spine. All the martial arts routines he knew were borrowed, and after being borrowed, they formed extremely strong muscle memory in his body.
Many martial arts moves don't require thinking; just raise your hand and you'll execute the move you want.
But now, we need to use our brains.
Jiang Nan then realized his weakness: what he saw could be reflected in his mind, but the actions reflected in his mind were completely different from the actions he actually performed.
Ok…
There's nothing we can do!
Jiangnan could only turn his gaze to Li Lianjie, who was practicing the Bone Crushing Hand technique on the side. This guy had already mastered it quite well.
