Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 33

Luo Junyan began to gain weight. He gained 5 catties during the Spring Festival, with almost one piece of abdominal muscles left.

When Fa Ge first applied for the artist training class, he was lucky enough to be appreciated by a noble person, Mr. Zhong Jinghui, the chief examiner of that training class.

Mr. Zhong Jinghui is an excellent stage director and actor. At the same time, he is also a well-known drama educator and producer in Xiangjiang, and he is very kind.

When Luo Junyan asked Fa Ge for advice on acting skills, Fa Ge directly introduced him to Mr. Zhong, who is a teacher.

In Mr. Zhong Jinghui’s house, Luo Junyan first completed a live performance according to Mr. Zhong’s settings.

Mr. Zhong did not directly point out the problems in the performance, but said: “A Jun, you are very good at using facial expressions and body. There is an old saying in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle that if the artist is popular, it is the master’s taste for food, you have innate Spirituality and audience affinity don’t necessarily have to have received orthodox performance training.”

Mr. Zhong stood up, trot to him in broken steps, leaned forward slightly, his eyes didn’t open too hard, but his eyeballs seemed to protrude.

Immediately, the sense of panic after being stimulated was perfectly expressed, which was more real and stronger than the state Luo Junyan had just shown.

Mr. Zhong returned to his normal expression, and then said: “A Jun, one thing may be the biggest problem in your performance. You are too focused, that is, the traces of the performance are too heavy.”

Mr. Zhong asked Luo Junyan to sit down and talk, and continued: “A good actor will not deliberately complete the role in the play. It’s just a fake, and the fake is just more colorful and finer in workmanship.”

Luo Junyan tried to understand what he said, and asked: “Mr. Zhong, what should the genuine product look like?”

Mr. Zhong replied: “The authenticity is what it is. After enjoying it, different people will have different interpretations. This is the charm of art and the essence of performance.”

Luo Junyan raised his head, savored carefully, and then said, “Isn’t it me who came to the show?”

Mr. Zhong smiled and nodded, and said, “Yes, it’s yourself. To be precise, it’s your own acting style, one with a thousand faces and one with a thousand faces.”

Luo Junyan instantly thought of Xu Guanwen, Wu Ma, Zheng Zeshi, Wu Yaohan, and other outstanding actors on the screen, and seemed to understand what Mr. Zhong said.

When everyone is happy, their performance will be slightly different. If you imitate those subtleties bluntly, you will be imitations, even if others show wonderfully, only your own natural reaction will be the most real and most contagious.

Personal performance style, this is to raise a level to interpret performance art.

If the basic acting skills are made of porcelain bottles, that person’s performance style is the painter who outlines the embryos, and how to use the brush and color requires his own cognition.

Luo Junyan bowed deeply to Mr. Zhong.

In the next time, Luo Junyan tried to change “My Savage Girlfriend” into a screen script to capture the subtle changes of the hero from the inside out.

This is a way of being wealthy, and a lot of time can be wasted.

In recent years, directors Xiangjiang generally don’t take the scripts seriously, and change them whenever they want. And in order to make money, the shooting efficiency is quite high, no one will waste time and energy in the stage of writing the script.

The benefits of a sub-camera script are obvious. This is equivalent to using the lens’ perspective to show the plot logic and character settings, and construct each scene in advance to create a dramatic effect.

Of course, Luo Junyan didn’t plan to work as a director. He tried to figure out his acting style in this way. As a result, it took more than a month to study the first time, and I was overwhelmed by it. The division of shots and the division of scripts are not the same concept.

March 9, 1982, was a day of great commemorative significance for the Hong Kong film circle.

The first Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was successfully held in the theater of the Hong Kong Arts Center.

Although this is more like a self-healing activity for people in the circle, and there are only 5 awards, its positive significance and far-reaching impact cannot be ignored.

“Killer Couple File” won four nominations for best film, best director, best screenwriter and best actress. Except for the best actor, all were nominated, and it can be described as the limelight.

After all, this is the 1981 box office champion film, and the first Academy Awards still have to conform to the market. As for whether to change the route to literary movies in the future, you have to recruit all the stars before you can beat the dog until the door is closed.

When Luo Junyan received the invitation letter, he set aside.

At present, the Hong Kong entertainment industry still has a generally discriminatory attitude towards him, especially his authentic and wild origin. Anyway, no money will be given for winning the prize, so there will be no fluctuating emotions in Luo Junyan’s heart, let alone wasting time to cheer.

In the end, “Killer Couple File” won only one award at the Academy Awards. Sister Army unexpectedly defeated the popular candidate Hui Hongying and was crowned as the first Golden Image Queen. After all, the voice of the masses was too loud.

The first Golden Statue actor won the Best Screenplay Award for “The Story of Hu Yue” starring Fa Ge and Zhong Chuhong with Xu Guanwen, who starred in “Modern Bodyguard”.

On the other hand, during the Spring Festival this year, the “Best Partner” produced by Xinyicheng defeated Jackie Chan’s self-directed and self-acted Long-style kung fu comedy “Long Master” without any suspense.

With a box office of more than 26 million and a box office of less than 18 million, “Best Partner” is violently crushing.

People in the entertainment industry are more optimistic about the future of the Hong Kong film market. This is equivalent to breaking the box office record of “Killer Couples” in less than two months. How long can this record exist?

Although the release period of “Best Partner” exceeded one month, and it borrowed from the scenes of car chases and explosions in “Killer Couples”. But on New Year’s Day, I am afraid that no one will believe that the box office record of 24.62 million will be surpassed so easily. I want to follow the trend and want to sell, and I am more demanding for innovation.

For Brother Cheng, during the Spring Festival schedule, I watched “Shaolin Temple” starring Jet Li in the theater again. Afterwards, he shook his head and shook his head at Luo Junyan, and said: It is a great pleasure to have friends from afar, and it is a gentleman who learns the new by reviewing the past.

At the end of April, news that Luo Junyan was preparing to start shooting a new film was finally confirmed. The director hasn’t settled yet. The first person to find Luo Junyan is Guan Zhilin, and she is still a contract artist of ATV.

Luo Junyan and Guan Zhilin sat in the lobby cafe of the Peninsula Hotel. Luo Junyan looked at the tea cup and asked, “Are you sure it’s your treat?”

Guan Zhilin frowned and looked at him, and said helplessly: “It’s me who treats you. Please use it as you please.”

Luo Junyan just toasted to drink tea, and then smiled and said, “This is the first time I have come here to drink tea. It tastes really good.”

Rosamund Kwan shook her head lightly and said, “A Jun, you are the first man who makes me helpless. Have you ever watched “Headhunting”? Even if you don’t care about me, you have to give it to Fa Ge?”

Luo Junyan said: “Sister Jiahui, I put down your phone and rushed to the theater, and bought three tickets by myself. The left and right positions are empty, just to enjoy your performance without being disturbed. arrive.”

Rosamund Kwan burst into laughter, quickly covered her mouth and looked around, and then said: “Don’t call my sister Hui, I’m only a little older than you. Call my English name Rosamund.”

Luo Junyan nodded and said, “Understood. Then, don’t you mind if I call you closer?”

Guan Zhilin smiled charmingly and said: “Whatever you want.”

Luo Junyan said: “RR, you asked me to come to such a high-end place, isn’t it just for tea and chat?”

Rosamund Kwan was really frustrated, but she didn’t bother to correct his name, and said, “Isn’t the heroine of your new film still not sure about the actor? Then I just want to be a virtuous person to avoid relatives.”

Luo Junyan deliberately pretended to be confused and asked: “Do you have any female relatives in the showbiz?”

Guan Zhilin pointed to herself and said, “It’s me.”

Luo Junyan looked at her big watery eyes and asked: “Aren’t you getting married soon? Do you still need to act to marry a rich man?”

Rosamund Kwan said with a smile: “Why, did you also hear that? We plan to register for marriage in the United States in June. You can give the red envelope when I return to Hong Kong. It is because I will quit the showbiz after I get married, so I want to get married before I get married. Create a classic image as a remembrance for yourself.”

Luo Junyan squeezed his chin and said, “Why don’t you postpone the wedding a few months? My film may not start in June.”

Rosamund Kwan asked curiously: “Why do you have to delay it for so long?”

Luo Junyan said: “I have to gain weight to cover up my muscles, and my face needs to be a little fatter, and I have to wait for my skin color to recover and look like a normal person. In short, I am strong and handsome now. Sweet and lovely.”

Rosamund Kwan almost burst out with a smile and said, “A Jun, I really served you. If you are a rich boy, I will definitely fall in love with you, you are too good at coaxing girls.”

Luo Junyan nodded solemnly and said, “Thank you I am not a child of a rich family. RR, if you are friends, I will just talk nonsense. If you want to marry a rich man, there is no problem with this idea, but you have to write something first. The huge sums of money come out? According to my master’s words, the casino chips are all plastic. Can they be replaced with real money? Finally, it depends on the mood of the casino owner. Don’t get rid of the basket until the end.”

Guan Zhilin pursed her lips, stared at her, and said, “A Jun, since you are a friend, you shouldn’t ridicule me.”

Luo Junyan hurriedly lowered his head, lay on the table, and whispered: “Hey, don’t look back, there is a reporter behind the scenes taking pictures. If this is reported to the newspaper, we may not be able to arrange us, your marriage will be ruined.”

Kwan Zhilin forgot about her anger, and leaned on the table, saying, “No way, this is the Peninsula Hotel.”

Luo Junyan glanced in the distance and said, “Looking like a reporter from an entertainment tabloid. You just sit here quietly. I will leave quietly. According to my master’s words, carefully sail the ship.”

Rosamund Kwan nodded her head in a panic. When Luo Junyan walked far away, she realized that there was nothing that she could not see people.

Luo Junyan hugged the bag, walked along the root of the wall, and left the lobby cafe quickly.

At the gate of the Peninsula Hotel, Luo Junyan turned to look behind as he walked. With a little trick, he can retreat all over his body, and he feels complacent and very proud.

At this moment, there was a soft drink on the face: “Hey, look at the road.”

Luo Junyan hurriedly stopped and turned to look.

On the opposite side stood a thin and tall girl with a little baby fat on her face, but her cheeks were very skinny, and her appearance was exceptionally fresh and pretty at first glance. She was wearing jeans and casual clothes, carrying a travel bag, and draped long black hair with hanging shoulders.

Luo Junyan said: “I’m really sorry. But why don’t you avoid it?”

The girl said: “People come and go in the hotel, I’m worried you will bump into someone else.”

Luo Junyan looked at her carefully, then stretched out a hand and said, “Hello, my name is Luo Junyan, and my friends call me Ajun. Miss, are you traveling to Xiangjiang?”

The girl hesitated for a moment, shook his hand gently, and said, “Hello, my name is Maggie, I am coming to Xiangjiang from the UK for vacation. But how do you know that I am not a native of Xiangjiang?”

Luo Junyan did not answer directly, but asked seriously: “Maggie, how old are you this year?”

Maggie looked at him suspiciously, and then replied, “18 years old. Does it matter?”

Luo Junyan said: “If you are a local from Xiangjiang, you won’t be 18 years old, and you haven’t appeared on TV or movie screens. Even if you don’t go to the beauty pageant, there will be scouts on the street early on. You handed your business card, it’s impossible that I haven’t seen your beautiful photo.”

Maggie laughed, showing two rabbit teeth, and said, “You’re complimenting me? But I still want to say thank you, I’m very happy.”

Luo Junyan said: “Maggie, do you have a Chinese name? If not, I can help you pick one, guarantee that the name is as you are, and fully reflect your beauty and temperament. What’s more important is that I don’t take any money and I am obliged to flatter you. .”

Maggie smiled and bent over and said, “How serious are you telling jokes. Thank you, but I have a Chinese name, and my name is Maggie Zhang.”

Luo Junyan still took the matter seriously and said, “Congratulations, Miss Zhang Manyu, you were lucky enough to ran into me.”

When Maggie Cheung looked over with wide-eyed eyes, Luo Junyan continued with a loud voice, “In Xiangjiang, Maggie Cheung’s name will soon be known to women and children, and in the near future, it will even spread throughout Asia. Miss Maggie Cheung, be When you look back on the past in the future, you don’t have to be grateful for this encounter of you and me, let alone thank me heartily.”

Luo Junyan changed a polite posture and said: “To borrow my master’s rhetoric, I don’t make stars, I’m just a porter in the art world.”
