Chapter 228. Talented Actor
Who is the most popular person in the entire movie king entertainment now?
In addition to the boss and director, he is neither Liu Dehua nor Jacky Cheung, nor other big-name stars who join the Best Actor Entertainment, but Zhou Xingchi!
That's right, it's this guy Xingzai.
Speaking of which, since he joined the Best Actor Entertainment, Zhou Xingchi filmed the super hit movie "The Saint of Gambling". In order to revitalize Hong Kong's nonsense comedy, Duan Zihao arranged for him such movies as "The Man of Gambling" and "The Top Martial Arts Award Su Qier".
Now Zhou Xingchi has just finished filming "Tang Bohu's Dots of Qiuxiang". The starring of this drama is him, playing the invincible and talented talented man Tang Bohu, and the role of Qiuxiang is the actress Lan Jieying, who is highly praised by the movie emperor entertainment.
During the filming process, the two of them matched ingeniously and performed superbly. In particular, Zhou Xingchi seemed to have a good impression of Lan Jieying. In such an atmosphere, the filming of "Tang Bohu's Dot of Autumn Fragrance" became very vivid and interesting.
Afterwards, Zhou Xingchi once found Duan Zihao to drink, and couldn't help but say his heart while drinking. He said that he was interested in Lan Jieying and wanted to pursue her.
Regarding this joke, you should know that in your previous life, Zhou Xingchi once liked Lan Jieying while filming "The Legend of the World", but because Lan Jieying had too many suitors at that time, Zhou Xingchi himself felt a little inferior, so he failed.
Now, on the other hand, although Zhou Xingchi is not handsome enough, he is already famous enough, so he has the courage to pursue Lan Jieying.
No matter what, Zhou Xingchi and Lan Jieying are considered to be handsome men and women. Whether they can succeed depends on their own fate.
As for Zhou Xingchi, Duan Zihao has made up his mind. He asked this guy to make a guest appearance in "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and play the role of "Pan Zi" in the play. It is a very terrifying role and is also very suitable for him.
Zhou Xingchi agreed happily about this. You must know that he knew very clearly what the play represents. It is also a great honor to be able to play a role in it. It also shows how Hao Ge values him.
At this time, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Zhou Xingchi also began to be popular in the cinema. Xingzai, who has been known as the new generation of comedy, is even more popular among audiences. His image in reality is similar to that in movies, but there are more nonsensical aspects in the movies. It is natural to be sought after by the audience who love him. Moreover, his image in the movie is more full and more likable. Therefore, with the release of the movie, Xingzai's popularity has increased sharply, becoming the king of comedy and a popular star in confronting Joke Hao.
Shortly after Duan Zihao issued an invitation to Hollywood, Peter Jackson also came to Hong Kong with his special effects team. From his assistant to the actors, the scene was also magnificent.
In order to show his importance, Duan Zihao also went to the airport to pick him up and then returned to the company together. Such a scene naturally could not escape the reporter's eyes, and it was also extremely sensational news for a while.
Besides, this ghost guy Peter Jackson came to Hong Kong to join the new drama of the Best Actor Entertainment. In addition to the high rewards given by Duan Zihao, he also had another idea, that is, he liked Duan Zihao's dance very much.
That's right, Peter Jackson is a dance fan. He liked to dance on the dance floor when he was young, especially the dance of the popular king Mike Jackson is his favorite. But when Joan Tie Hao created the "Space Step" and shocked the world, Peter Jackson understood. He had a strong player and a strong player. This Joan Tie Hao's dancing skills are no weaker than Mike's.
What's more, Joke Hao has become a legend in the film industry. He is not only famous in Hong Kong and Asia, but also well-known in Europe and the United States.
Although Duan Zihao has not officially entered Hollywood yet, his unique investment vision has affected the Hollywood landscape. The invested "Terminator" series and the current "Back to the Future" can be said to be a big deal. Such awesome people, how could these ghost moviegoers not be curious?
It is precisely because of this that Peter Jackson's eyes shone when he saw Duan Zihao, probably imagining what kind of classic this movie would have. While everyone introduced themselves and greeted each other one by one, Zhou Xingchi, who is a celebrity in the entertainment industry, watched coldly and muttered: Damn, a group of foreign devils."
But Duan Zihao was talking to Peter Jackson. Peter Jackson was very excited and talked endlessly about his shooting concept. Finally, he added: "Don't worry, dear Duan, this time we must produce a fine product, and we will definitely not be worse than our Hollywood colleagues."
Duan Zihao, Lan Naicai, Hong Jinbao and others nodded frequently, which was also their idea. However, Zhou Xingchi looked at Peter Jackson on the side more and more disliked him. An old foreigner, who couldn't figure out why he was so polite to him.
"Hey, old man, do you know where this is?" Zhou Xingchi finally couldn't help but step forward and looked at Peter Jackson with a slanted eye. It was obvious that Peter Jackson did not understand Chinese, and Zhou Xingchi also used English, but his education was not high, so it was inevitable that he was a little difficult to speak.
"Where is it? This is Hong Kong." Peter Jackson immediately attracted by Zhou Xingchi's unique temperament when he saw Zhou Xingchi. He intuition was that this young man was careless and had a cynical taste. He was not angry about his unceremonious name, but he was a little strange about Zhou Xingchi's problem.
"That's right." Zhou Xingchi grabbed Peter Jackson's bearded man without hesitation: "Since you know this is Hong Kong, do you still dare to be so arrogant? Do you still dare to be so rude?"
"Arrogant? Unruly?" Peter Jackson was confused.
Duan Zihao angrily asked Zhou Xingchi not to make trouble, but Zhou Xingchi waved his hand: "Boss, please rest, just leave this foreign old man to me."
"Damn, you can't even speak Chinese, so you dare to come to China?" Zhou Xingchi patted Peter Jackson's face even more rudely: "You're very brave."
Peter Jackson understood what Zhou Xingchi meant, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to learn Chinese, it's really too difficult for Chinese."
"If you don't learn it, don't learn it? What's your attitude?" Zhou Xingchi glared: "If you don't learn Chinese, do we have to learn English to accommodate you in China? Although I speak English well, I just can't stand your arrogant attitude. Look at your beard, why are you so useless?"
Duan Zihao and the big guy looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Where did this start? They were worried that Peter Jackson would be angry, but it was strange that the more rude Zhou Xingchi was, the more rude he was. Peter Jackson seemed to be more interested in him.
"Actually, I don't know how to speak Chinese at all," Peter Jackson replied to Zhou Xingchi, then he cleared his throat seriously and said, "Hello. I like China."
"Oh, it's not bad." Zhou Xingchi nodded: "That's right. If you know how to speak, you will speak boldly. If you don't speak well, no one will laugh at you. Seeing that you are so sincere, I will be responsible for teaching you Chinese in the future."
Speaking of this, Zhou Xingchi realized that everyone was not talking. Especially those who came with Peter Jackson, their eyes were about to fall out. In their hearts, they must be wondering who this strange guy is. He said that others are arrogant and rude, but he himself is arrogant and rude.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen an alternative handsome guy?" Zhou Xingchi glared at everyone: "This is Hong Kong. You can't speak a single Chinese. Don't you feel embarrassed? What's so great about being able to speak English? I can do it too. I have the ability to speak Chinese with me.*!"
"Well, be convinced by virtue, and be convinced by virtue!" Seeing that Zhou Xingchi was becoming more and more distorted, Duan Zihao was too lazy to tell him the truth, so he quickly reminded him with this famous saying that has become Zhou Xingchi's catchphrase.
Not to mention, this reminder is really effective. Zhou Xingchi immediately changed his attitude and smiled: "Ha, everyone, it just seems that the atmosphere is too dull. So I'm just kidding you. But that's not wrong. You should learn some Chinese culture, which is good for your progress. Speaking of this, I'll say a few more words. Everyone is here to make movies, so at least they have some understanding of movies. To be honest, our requirements are very strict, and everyone should be mentally prepared. Of course, you can be dissatisfied and feel wronged, but I set an example. Everyone should take me as an example. If you can beat me in some aspects, then I have nothing to say, but if you can't reach my level, then follow my requirements."
Everyone was stunned and couldn't figure out the origin of Zhou Xingchi. Who is this arrogant boy who is more angry than the sky?
Duan Zihao couldn't stand Zhou Xingchi's attitude anymore, so he simply kicked him away. Sammo Hung also stepped forward and said, "Welcome to Hong Kong. This gentleman just now is also a member of the crew. He is a person who loves film art with his life. He is a little too devoted, so don't be surprised." He has some understanding of Zhou Xingchi. In order to avoid similar situations in the future, Hong Jinbao first put him as a movie fanatic. Under such a title, Zhou Xingchi's extraordinary behavior can be explained.
"Okay, not bad." Peter Jackson spoke first, looking at Zhou Xingchi: "This is your Hong Kong king of comedy, right? It has a good image and a similar temperament. It would be great if it could be a little more steady."
"Static, right?" Zhou Xingchi said disdainfully: "What's the difficulty?" This sentence was still the usual Zhou Xingchi style, but as soon as he finished speaking, his image changed.
Zhou Xingchi is still Zhou Xingchi, but to the viewer, he is a different person. Without the usual ruffianism and external ostentatiousness, Zhou Xingchi looks solemn and gives people a very cold feeling. Under such an appearance, his flashing eyes emit a slight ray of ghost light, making people feel his free and easy and nonsensical. This performance is very difficult in performance, because this is not expressed through external exaggeration, but when there is no action, it is necessary to make people feel it. However, Zhou Xingchi is a natural acting school, so it is not difficult to make such a gesture. Especially now, he is a man who "wants all his body and mind to his career". He has put in much effort in this aspect, and has reached a state of unforgettable.
If Zhou Xingchi's series of performances just now only made the newcomers led by Peter Jackson feel strange and funny, Zhou Xingchi's impression now is shocking. Such sudden changes fully demonstrate Zhou Xingchi's talent and skills in performance, and they couldn't speak for a while.
"Oh my God, it's so resembled." Peter Jackson made an exaggerated gesture: "This is simply our Hollywood Jim Carrey, just put on some makeup." After saying this, Peter Jackson also said to Duan Zihao: "Mr. Duan, this person is definitely no less than you in performance."
Duan Zihao smiled slightly: "It's pretty good, but don't praise him too much. This guy is easy to be proud."
"No, he's really good." Peter Jackson and sincerely said: "I don't praise him for sorry for my conscience."
"Old man, it's pretty good, he's quite eye-catching." Zhou Xingchi's slut came up again, and grabbed Peter Jackson's beard and said: "I don't play the protagonist, I specialize in supporting roles, I just like to put pressure on the protagonists. Ha, stealing the show is the most enjoyable thing."
"Did you hear that? Don't be scared by this guy, you'll steal the show." Peter Jackson cooperated and shouted at the team he brought.
Those people agreed in unison, and the atmosphere was extremely warm. It was not ineffective to say that Zhou Xingchi's nonsense was not ineffective. His arrogance was half true and half false. In addition, his sudden appearance of his strong side in performance really put some pressure on other actors. In this way, before the filming of the movie started, all the actors were very excited. Seeing that Zhou Xingchi was so disrespectful to Peter Jackson, others could imagine how Zhou Xingchi would react if he was not performing well. Peter Jackson is now extremely generous, and he could simply hold a boat in the prime minister's belly. Others don't think they can bear Zhou Xingchi's rudeness as calmly as Peter Jackson.
However, what Zhou Xingchi said was not for these foreign actors. In his opinion, those people are supporting roles and even supporting roles. His goal is to directly point to the male protagonist Duan Zihao.
Duan Zihao, Hong Jinbao, Tony Leung and others smiled bitterly. With Zhou Xingchi here, they couldn't do it anymore if they didn't work hard. This guy is clearly looking for trouble. However, Zhou Xingchi definitely does not admit this statement. His statement is an extended version of the theory of "being victorious to others": if you want to convince him, the performance of the protagonists must naturally make him see it.
Less gossip, let’s talk about it after Duan Zihao invited Peter Jackson to join the team. The filming of the entire drama began.
First of all, the efforts made by Peter Jackson and others about the monster's styling design are enough to surprise everyone. "Dark Invasion" in the impression of Joke Hao was perfectly interpreted by Peter Jackson.
Especially the male protagonist played by Duan Zihao has already thought through the role he wants to play before filming. What makes him most difficult is not the main character of the protagonist, that is, the wit and courage that the film should show, and the coldness and determination of the enemy. Through the comparison of hundreds of similar films and the mastery of the story plot, he has grasped this very well. What he feels is the emotional scene. After the separation and reunion with the character played by Joey Wong, he is quite repulsive of the emotional scene.
Originally, in this drama, just like most Hollywood blockbusters, the emotional drama is just a decoration, almost none, so he shouldn't have any problems.
However, once you really get into the role, just as Duan Zihao said to everyone, he must shoot the best. A similar paranoid pursuit of perfection makes Duan Zihao involuntarily want to achieve the best even the most subtle scene. At this time, the problem arises.
In fact, there are only two scenes about love in this film, which are a little more delicate at the beginning and end. Moreover, according to the meaning of Lan Naicai and Peter Jackson, we are not prepared to work harder, just watch it.
As a love scene, Duan Zihao can act well even with his acting skills alone, but it will be a bit difficult to be consistent with the style of the whole film.
In Duan Zihao's mind, he is about to play Wu Xie with a complex personality. He is the gentlest lover to his lover, the most loyal and reliable brother to his friends, and the coldest and terrifying opponent to his enemies. In these aspects, alone, Duan Zihao can be perfectly grasped, but it is the most difficult thing for Duan Zihao to integrate it into one person. If you just play separately, the same role and the same person feels like two people on different occasions, that is a joke.
So Duan Zihao has been thinking about how to play this role alive. Different aspects of the performance are only two aspects of a person's personality, rather than being treated as two people.
For this purpose, Duan Zihao never tires about comparing many characters similar to the videos in his mind, and finally he was satisfied with him.
His self-challenge is still very effective. After the opening of the filming, he has won the praise of Peter Jackson. It was a plot in which the male protagonist and the female protagonist worked together to defeat a strong enemy. In such a scene, from the action to the expression, Duan Zihao performed appropriately. What is particularly appreciated is his eyes. When facing the enemy, when looking at the heroine, he immediately felt the tenderness from the heart. Once he faced the enemy, his eyes became cold and cold that made people coagulate. All of this was perfectly integrated, and no one could accuse Duan Zihao of his performance of being unreasonable.
"What a pity, Duan Zihao, you are a Chinese." After Peter Jackson praised Duan Zihao, he suddenly sighed. It can be said that he had no malice, but he just thought that the United States was the boss of the film industry. Peter Jackson thought Duan Zihao was an absolutely genius actor and that his talent could not be used best, so he said so.
After listening to it, Duan Zihao just smiled slightly and corrected politely: "Wrong, I'm very proud that I'm Chinese."
Peter Jackson saw Duan Zihao's determination from Duan Zihao's eyes, and he didn't say anything more. He just shrugged and continued to work.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, stars like Duan Zihao are truly excellent actors, can support half of the sky, and can make Hollywood look at them.
However, for Duan Zihao, he has only one purpose, that is, to make "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" the first blockbuster among Chinese films, to enter Hollywood, and to promote our country's power! (To be continued)
