Chapter 360: The Past(1/2)
Chapter 360 Past
The crew started filming for twenty days, and surrounded by Cantonese stereo for more than ten hours every day, Xu Rong found that she had gradually mastered a new skill, Cantonese.
There is still a long way to go before he can express himself. Because he has not studied deliberately, he can only use some relatively simple vocabulary at the moment, but if someone communicates with him in Cantonese, he can even guess the right answer.
Hearing Du Qifeng's penetrating roar, he tilted his ears to distinguish it carefully. However, unlike his usual scolding for a long time and then retaliate after everyone thought it was over, Du Qifeng's roar suddenly started.
and passed away, so much so that one wonders whether there was an auditory hallucination.
However, he found that everyone on the set quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Rong confirmed that the voice he just heard was not an illusion. Du Qifeng was indeed angry, but the person was still behind the monitor, so the target should be one of You Naihai or Zheng Zhaoqiang.
.
He turned his head and looked at the exhausted colleagues around him, finally landing on Lin Jiadong and Jiang Haowen who were restless.
The plump Lin Nie was leaning on the sofa, looking at Xu Rong with a look of resentment. In his past impression, he had always thought that Huang Xiaoming and Nicholas Tse were already the ceiling for contemporary young actors. If he had to describe it, he probably just frowned.
, the acting skills are explosive, the corners of the mouth are raised, and everything is covered.
He never thought that acting against a young man would be so tiring. Xu Rong's expressions were not rich. Due to the limitations of the script and plot, he could only use so many dimensions, but he found that this guy was very interested in the role of Cai Tianming.
His understanding was too profound, and many times he found Xu Rong's reaction incomprehensible, but after looking back and thinking about it carefully, he realized that the logic of his behavior was highly consistent with some of the character traits of people like Cai Tianming.
And what made him feel helpless was that everyone worked hard, but Xu Rong's personal aura was so strong that others had to find ways to overpower him. The worst thing was that, as the boss of the plot, the seven people
His aura cannot be weaker than his.
Seeing Lin Xue looking at him sadly, Xu Rong smiled. In fact, he didn't do anything, he just completely "binned" himself. In the scenes where he existed, everyone was the background!
In terms of their status in the play, everyone in the Gang of Seven has a higher status than him, and they should not be his background. However, except for Lin Yue who has the ability to resist, even if the others try their best,
It has no actual meaning.
Lu Haipeng and Zhang Siu-fai didn't feel much other than boredom. There were a total of 10 actors participating in the filming. In their respective opinions, the reason why Du Qifeng asked for reshoots over and over again must be because there was something wrong with the other 9 people.
When they first debuted, they were also called good prospects. During their career, they also had the highlight moments of their careers. Now that they have been in the industry for many years, they feel that although their fame is not as good as those of the so-called top artists and superstars, in terms of business ability,
Not to mention in Hong Kong, even though the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places should be top-notch, the reason why they have not been able to achieve it in reality is just because they lack a suitable opportunity.
Ye Xuan curled her lips silently. She could tell that Du Qifeng was showing off, and Xu Rong was also showing off, because the better they could show off, the more the audience and peers felt that it was natural for them to earn so much money. As for acting skills, everyone has different opinions.
, The wise see the wisdom, there is no up and down, there is no standard of measurement, the so-called good and bad are just the audience’s love for the house.
Tan Kai and Li Zhenqi, who had Chinese character faces, lay motionless on the sofa. They were beaten for a long time. The costumes were originally thick and the temperature in the room was high. After repeating it over and over again, the clothes on their bodies became wet and dry.
Wet, almost exhausted at this time, but they are just young actors and have no qualifications to be tired.
Compared with Wu Tingye, Ye Xuan's calmness and Li Zhenqi, Tan Kai's fatigue, Jiang Haowen and Lin Jiadong's state is much more abnormal. They are like two machines. During the reset time, one of them shut down.
He closed his eyes and said nothing, lowered his head and said nothing, but every time he started shooting, he always became energetic immediately and seemed not to feel tired at all.
Jiang Haowen seemed to have a rough and tumble look, but after a whole morning, his progress was the most obvious. From the beginning, he acted based on his feelings, and then slowly started to work on the rhythm, adjusting his own rhythm to be in sync with the overall rhythm of the play.
What Xu Rong couldn't understand the most was Lin Jiadong, who has a Chinese character face and a wide forehead. This guy would be really humiliating his talents by not acting for Wang Jiawei, because he found that Lin Jiadong could come up with something new every time, even though he occasionally
The new things that pop up feel a little wrong, but most of the time people can't help but be impressed.
And the two people's constantly changing and improving performance just shows that they can clearly feel that their acting is not good enough, so they keep trying and changing. The only difference is that Jiang Haowen's changes are perceptible, while Lin Jiadong's
I have such a rich imagination.
Seeing that Du Qifeng had lost his temper and lost his voice, Lin Feng looked at Xu Rong and asked, "Teacher Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Rong waved his hand and did not answer. He had already promised Du Qifeng that he would not ask anything about the arrangements on the set. If Du Qifeng served dinner now, he would eat with him. If Du Qifeng had made up his mind not to eat until the filming was over, then
He was going to collect it and let everyone eat as much as possible first.
“After taking this photo, we’ll put food on the table.”
A cold voice spread throughout the entire set, in response to the sound of relief that was heard from everywhere. As usual, regardless of whether you can eat or not, something like this should have been said two hours ago to give everyone some hope.
Hearing Du Qifeng's voice, Lin Jiadong slowly opened his eyes. He didn't feel hungry at all, but he was extremely excited.
Initially, he planned to act like Ye Xuan, that is, using the facial paralysis style acting that has become popular in recent years. As long as he can hold back his laughter, he can act in any scene.
But who has the best angle, because Xu Rong is sitting diagonally opposite him.
The best thing was that Tan Kai and Li Zhenqi fell to the ground one after another, creating an excellent opportunity for him.
Because this also means that how Xu Rong handled it when Tan Kai fell to the ground, he can also follow Li Zhenqi's example after he fell to the ground.
It takes a lot of brains to design out of thin air, but who doesn’t know how to copy homework?!
"preparation."
"action."
Xu Rong's body was half-tilted, leaning on the armrest of the sofa on one side. Her legs were no longer straight and stable, but her feet were crossed close to the lower edge of the sofa, and she was looking straight at Li Zhenqi and Tan Kai.
"You two are such bastards, you exposed us."
"Sorry, I really can't hear the response."
"Oh, don't kill them here, take them back to Yuejiang and do it again."
Du Qifeng looked at the picture on the monitor and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. During the previous shooting process, the whole thing always gave him a sense of incongruity. It seemed that the four of them, Xu Rong, Lin Jie, Lin Jiadong, and Jiang Haowen, were the same.
Everyone else is completely absent from the scene.
But at this moment, this scene suddenly seemed extremely natural, especially Lin Jiadong, who stretched out his slightly bent index finger and lightly scratched the tip of his brow, making the whole character stand upright.
"Card."
"Put the food on."
When You Naihai heard Du Qifeng's voice, he stayed for a while, looked at him with a mixture of laughter and laughter, and said, "Is this all?"
Du Qifeng was about to get up to eat, when he heard his voice, he turned around and frowned and asked: "Why, is there any problem?"
You Naihai wanted to shake his head, but his head only turned slightly, then stopped and said: "That's right, why do you think you can get through it?"
"Everyone has a good grasp of the role, especially Lin Jiadong."
"Lin Jiadong?" You Naihai asked back, then looked at him blankly, "But, doesn't it look familiar to you?"
Du Qifeng was actually tired and too lazy to guess anymore, so he said, "Just say what you have and don't play riddles with me."
"From the beginning to the end, he was imitating Xu Rong's presentation method." You Naihai stood up, patted his butt, and walked straight out of the set: "Today I finally understand Tai Shigong's saying: 'A wise man lives in this world.
, "It's like a cone in a bag, the end of which is seen immediately." It means that what some people lack is not an opportunity at all."
When Du Qifeng saw You Naihai was about to leave, he asked, "We're eating, why are you going?"
"I have no appetite, I won't eat." You Naihai waved his hand, feeling sleepy and completely losing interest in reading. The script he wrote after staying up half the night yesterday was just like this?
He couldn't accept it.
Du Qifeng stood in the corridor, looking at You Naihai who turned a corner and left, and was speechless for a long time.
He understood You Naihai's disappointment, because he had been in this disappointed mood throughout the morning.
Previously, I only thought that Xu Rong's performance was good, and there was no clear comparison. I always felt that Xu Rong was at least a little better than the younger generation in Hong Kong. However, after the actual shooting started today, he realized that the colored glasses he wore before were too
Well, based on the comparison between Xu Rong, Lin Fie, and Lin Jiadong, once the cultural confidence of mainland audiences awakens, what else can Hong Kong actors who still have high self-esteem have to compete with their mainland counterparts?
Feelings?
But how long can feelings last?
With mixed feelings, Du Qifeng had absolutely no appetite at noon, because judging from the development trends of capital and talent, the decline of Hong Kong movies seemed to be a foregone conclusion.
But despite this, the filming must continue. As a banner of Hong Kong movies, if he can persist one more day, he will persist one more day.
After everything was ready, the filming of today's second scene started with Zheng Baorui's "action."
The plot is that Cai Tianming and the Gang of Seven have dinner together.
Xu Rong was placed between Lu Haipeng and Lin Xue. Xu Rong was eating with his head down, while Lu Haipeng next to him said: "120 million business, come on, cheers!"
The moment Lu Haipeng began to speak, Xu Rong clearly knew that the camera was facing him at this time. He did not immediately raise his head or stop chewing, but gave the camera two forehead lines to tell those behind the camera
He himself was listening and paying attention to every word, every word, because downstairs, nearly a hundred people's guards were ambushed, and the exchanges between him and others fell into their eyes exactly.
After dawn, it is a battle of life and death. If it succeeds, the sky will be high and the birds will fly. If he fails, this will be the last sumptuous dinner in his life. If he eats a few more bites, it will be a farewell to himself.
"It's all thanks to Tim Ming Tsai to accomplish great things."
When Zhang Zhaohui said the word "Tian Ming", Xu Rong picked up the wine glass and raised his mouth that was still chewing. And as his face appeared, the forehead lines moved visibly to the corners of his eyes, as if teleporting.
"Bang."
"Wow."
"Bang."
Seeing a flurry of excitement in the monitor, Du Qifeng and Zheng Zhaoqiang, who were sitting behind the monitor, both covered their faces and let out a sigh in unison.
Lin Nie, who was sitting next to Xu Rong, didn't know what happened. The wine glass slipped from his hands and fell on the table. However, he seemed to be frightened and completely forgot to avoid it, allowing the thirsty water in the glass to splash.
One body.
On the contrary, Xu Rong, who was sitting next to him, reacted inexplicably fiercely. The moment the wine glass broke, he almost instinctively pushed away the chair and crawled to hide in the corner.
It was not difficult to rearrange the scene, but they were completely unsure whether Xu Rong could reproduce the strange operation of moving the wrinkles on his forehead to the corners of his eyes.
