Superstar starts from the Film and Television Academy - Chapter 491
“What? I’ll play?” Han Fei was stunned. He was a little unprepared for Jiang Qinghou’s proposal. Perhaps he was so impressed with the original that he never thought about himself.
However, in Jiang Qinghou’s view, Han Fei is indeed the most suitable candidate: “first of all, pockmarked Zhang once followed general Cai E to Japan. Although he became a bandit, he is different from ordinary bandits. I think we chose actors from the wrong angle before. We don’t have to be five big three to be a bandit.”
Well, Han Fei admits that Jiang Qinghou is right, but he still has concerns about whether to play pockmarked Zhang. After all, the original Jiang Wen’s performance is so amazing. This time, he competes with two film emperors on the same stage, and the pressure can be imagined.
The three protagonists of “let bullets fly” complement each other. Without one link, the charm of the play will be greatly reduced, which Han Fei absolutely does not allow.
“OK, I’ll take it.” Han Fei thought over and over again and decided to take the role. His last opponent play with Shen Yiming made him remember deeply, and he obviously felt the improvement of his acting skills. As an actor, he also pursued.
Besides, Shen Yiming and he Mingyu are movie emperors. He also won the Huabiao Award for outstanding actor and movie emperor. OK.
“Great, let’s start it now?” Jiang Qinghou smiled.
“Well, turn it on!”
Soon, the news that “let the bullets fly” will hold a start-up press conference next week was soon exposed by the media. For a time, everyone was wondering. There was no news some time ago. Why did you suddenly announce that it was going to start-up?
Of course, the most curious thing for the audience is who will play the remaining three protagonists except Shen Yiming and he Mingyu? There are two big movie stars. Will they just make up three big movie stars?
It’s no wonder that everyone is so looking forward to it. After all, Shen Yiming and he Mingyu are famous for picking scripts. Their ability to take over the “let bullets fly” shows that the script of this play will be wonderful, and Jiang Qinghou’s crew has never let people down. It can be imagined how the quality of this play will be. It’s exciting to think about it if they can form a duel among the three film emperors.
However, some netizens soon said: don’t dream. The two film emperors are already the limit. Haven’t you heard of it? Can’t wang see Wang?
There are indeed such unwritten hidden rules in the entertainment industry, because there is actually a gap in the acting skills between film emperors. For example, Nicholas Tse is also a film emperor and Tony Leung is also a film emperor. Can they be the same thing?
And acting skills also need script blessing. There is only one male number one. Why do you let one film emperor act as a foil for another film emperor?
Therefore, generally at the level of movie emperor, we are very careful in choosing scripts. Unless we are really short of money or need to pay off human debt, we rarely give people a supporting role.
In addition, there is another most important reason. The value of film emperors is relatively high. Generally speaking, if there is one film emperor in a play, the budget is very tight. Adding one more is a great burden, not to mention three film emperors?
Er… Netizens said that they all understand the truth, but can they not be so straightforward? Can you let people daydream?
Ridicule belongs to ridicule. Movie fans still pay close attention to all the trends of “let bullets fly”. All kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky. Either the movie emperor will join today or the actress will be confirmed to play tomorrow. Anyway, things in the entertainment industry can change as long as they are not finally announced. Let’s rub a wave of heat first.
Finally, a week later, on the day of the “let bullets fly” press conference, the reporters swarmed in and were blocked outside the crew. Jiang Qinghou came out for an interview with a leading actor.
“Excuse me, director Jiang, why didn’t Han Fei come to the press conference as a screenwriter? Didn’t he take part in the shooting?” the reporter immediately burst into a pot.
Jiang Qinghou’s tone was a little strange: “er… Of course he will participate in the shooting, but he hasn’t joined the group yet.”
Well, without Han Fei, the focus of the reporters naturally lies in Shen Yiming and he Mingyu. The two film emperors play on the same stage, and there are few such scenes in recent years.
The launch conference lasted half an hour, and Jiang Qinghou ended the conference on the grounds that the crew was about to start shooting. The reporters could only sigh.
“Hoo, it’s finally dismissed. It’s much more difficult to deal with these reporters than filming.” Jiang Qinghou breathed a sigh.
Shen Yiming nodded deeply, and he Mingyu also smiled. After mixing in the circle for so many years, who hasn’t suffered the loss of reporters?
In fact, Han Fei didn’t join the group, but was thinking about the script. Although he wrote the script, who had never thought he would play pockmarked Zhang before?
“Oh, I’m still cramming for it?” he Mingyu joked.
Han Fei turned his eyes: “go ~ ~ ~ it’s not that I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about the script for a few days.”
Shen Yiming still remembers that this guy ruined his honeymoon: “you boy also have today. Why did you go early?”
“Ha ha ~ ~ ~” they looked at each other and laughed, showing signs of collusion.
“Several teachers, the scene is almost ready. Shall we do the modeling first?” the staff asked carefully. It’s hard to serve the two film emperors and their own boss.
“Well, let’s walk?”
“Walk.”
It can be seen that Shen Yiming and he Mingyu have been looking forward to this day for a long time. Obviously, they have understood the role thoroughly.
“Hum, just go.” Han Fei was angry. Didn’t he look down on him?
The scene filmed by the crew today is the scene of Mr. Tang shiye, or county magistrate Ma, at the beginning of the film. A small train is running on the railway. There are three people sitting on the train, Mr. Tang shiye, Ma bond and the county magistrate’s wife.
Qin Bailu plays the wife of the county magistrate. Although her acting skills can only be regarded as ordinary, playing this charming young woman has its own style and is still very popular with the audience.
As for the real master Ma, he is a pure dragon suit in the film. The appearance lens does not take two minutes together. The original party constitution is a guest star of small steel cannon.
Jiang Qinghou directly asked an assistant director to head up. Well, even the film salary was saved. I have to say, it’s a chicken thief.
“The wind blows and the clouds fly…”
It has to be said that Shen Yiming’s acting skills have reached the realm of returning to nature. When he raises his hands and feet, he depicts the image of a complacent county magistrate.
“Ka, great, this one is over.” Jiang Qinghou shouted.
Shen Yiming gets angry and picks Han Fei’s eyebrows, as if to say: it’s your turn. That expression can make Han Fei’s nose crooked.
“Almost. The boy is under a lot of pressure. Don’t go too far.”
Today, there is no he Mingyu’s play, but he still watches it. As an actor, he has to study not only the role, but also the performance style of the actors. Acting requires you to come and go. That’s what’s interesting. It’s like Yan Zidan once played director Guan Yunchang. As a result, Jiang Wen played the biography of Cao Cao.
Shen Yiming leisurely drank a sip of water and said with a smile, “don’t worry. You have a sense of propriety. Besides, you don’t seem to care about anything. In fact, you have to give him some pressure, otherwise the boy won’t explode.”
He Mingyu thought so, nodded and stopped talking.
The next scene is Zhang Mazi played by Han Fei. The horse bandit embedded two axes on the train track. Then, Han Fei took aim with a gun and went down with a few guns. The small train pulled by the horse was undamaged. His men asked, “brother, why is there no movement?”
Then pockmarked Zhang put his hands around his chest and forced, “let the bullet fly for a while.”
Of course, these scenes were shot separately. Han Fei rode on his horse and carried a prop gun. It was also like a model. After the whole shot, Jiang Qinghou frowned slightly.
How to put it? This pockmarked piece doesn’t feel like a bandit.
In fact, after Han Fei finished his lines, he didn’t feel quite right. What’s wrong? Suddenly Han Fei had a flash in his mind and thought of a line in the original version when Zhou Runfa looked at pockmarked Zhang with a telescope: “domineering exposure, death!”
Yes, pockmarked Zhang is such a domineering man. He has been to Japan, met the market and participated in the revolution. Even now he is a bandit, he has no concept of “inferior”. He is a revolutionary and is often proud of it.
“Hoo, do it again.” Han Fei said and picked up the gun again.
This time, as expected, Zhang pockmarked’s temperament has changed, his body is straight, his toes are high, his hands are environmentally friendly, and he can’t leave the trigger in the fingers of his right hand.
“Let the bullet fly a little longer.”
“Ka, that’s right.” Jiang Qinghou’s eyes lit up.
The next shot is the scene of the horse bandits overturning the small train. In fact, the small train pulled by the horse is metaphorical. At that time, the Qing Dynasty actually realized the importance of reform, but was reluctant to give up its power, so it launched a mighty westernization movement.
In 1881, due to the large output of Kaiping coal mine, transportation became a difficult problem. Tang Tingshu, the general office of the Mining Bureau, wants to build a railway. Earlier, Li Hongzhang asked the Qing government to lay a railway, and had argued with conservatives for more than ten years.
At that time, the royal family was worried that when the railway was paved, it would be easier for foreign aggression to transport troops, resulting in a ruling crisis. The scholar officials thought that the black smoke and noise of the train were really harmful. The poor people believe that the construction of Railways will destroy fields and affect Feng Shui.
Under the background that almost the whole country is opposed to building railways, Li Hongzhang, in the name of building express trains and roads, deceived the world and hinted that Tang Tingshu would build railways.
However, when the railway was repaired, the Qing government did not allow the use of locomotives, because the railway track was near the Qing government’s eastern mausoleum in Zunhua. For fear of affecting the imperial mausoleum and thus the dragon vein, the railway did not run at last, resulting in the most absurd farce in modern history – horse drawn fire car.
The train symbolizes the people all over the country eager for reform, and the horses are equivalent to the decadent Qing Dynasty. Can these bad horses pull the train of the people all over the country?
Obviously not, so a large number of revolutionary ancestors overthrew the decadent Manchu and Qing Dynasties, but would the later Republic of China be all right? In fact, it was only the warlords who took the reins from the Qing Dynasty, and the life of the common people was even worse than that of the Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Mazi’s guns are his ideal. He wants to overthrow the control of these bad horses over the people. 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 saw a smile in each other’s eyes.
Three people have to fight the landlord. It’s fun to play. Wouldn’t it be too boring to turn into a duet?
The next shooting is relatively smooth. Shen Yiming and he Mingyu have cooperated with the crew and are familiar with it. However, no matter how many times they have cooperated, they will be impressed by the efficiency and professionalism of the crew. No crew that has experienced in film in recent years can turn several times a day and get off work on time.
“Come on, arrange a seat here, another one in the other corner, and an oval slide here…”
The crew is nervously arranging the theater. The expressions on everyone’s faces are very serious, because everyone knows the importance of the play.
Yes, this is the period when Huang Silang invited Zhang Mazi to his bunker. This play can also be called a classic scene in Chinese films.
After a period of shooting, Han Fei has a deeper understanding of the character Zhang Mazi, but he still has no bottom in his heart about the play.
In the original version, this ten minute play, in which Jiang Wen, ge you and Chow Yun Fat played on the same stage, can be said to be an unprecedented scene in Chinese films.
Three characters, three distinct positions and three completely different personalities all have to be displayed in this ten minute lens, which is undoubtedly a great test for the actor’s acting skills.
Moreover, this section of Jiang Qinghou is going to be displayed with a long lens, so he will be more picky about the performance of the actors, and a little defect will start again.
The three stood in a triangular position. Huang Silang, as the master, naturally took the seat. Pockmarked Zhang and master Tang sat opposite.
“Let the bullets fly. He Mingyu plays Huang Silang and asks,” whose money do you want to make? ”
Pockmarked Zhang smiled: “Whoever has money will naturally earn it.”
Huang Silang seemed more interested: “who has the money?”
“You have money!”
“Ha ha ~ ~ ~ refreshing, take whatever the county magistrate likes.”
“No, Ma is not a bandit, but a county magistrate. The county magistrate always has to pay attention to a decent name to make money.”
“I see. We have two families in goose City. We sell people to the United States to repair railways and earn a beautiful knife.”
At this time, Mr. Tang, played by Shen Yiming, said the first line: “Hey, why are you still talking about the knife?”
Huang Silang snapped his fingers: “no, the money Americans use is called MeiDao.”
Jiang Qinghou looked on the monitor and nodded secretly. At least for now, their performance is perfect, but these are only appetizers, and the real meal is still ahead.
Huang Silang put his thigh on the table and said, “I’m just Liu Dutong’s leg, but now my leg is useless. Ten times I have goods, and eight times I have been robbed by Zhang Mazi. How rich do you say he is?”
Master Tang immediately joked, “we don’t have the courage to suppress the bandits, but we still have the courage to collect money in the name of suppressing the bandits, and we are very brave.”
This period exposed the darkness of the officialdom of the Republic of China. In that era of chaos, the collusion of officials and businessmen, the collusion of officials and bandits, and the collusion between the government and foreigners oppressed the common people?
The common people can only trust the government, because they have no other way. This is also the soil for the success of the revolution. Where there is oppression, there is resistance. When the spring is pressed to the end, the more powerful the rebound is.
