Chapter 94: Cameo in 'Master', Brother Chao: Let you play with Liu Yan!
In three days, Lin Yuan accepted interviews from seven or eight media outlets.
The draft before the interview was almost the same, except that some media wanted to know about his difficult years, some wanted to know about his private life, and some wanted to know about his emotional problems.
Finished with this.
Lin Yuan did not think about resting, but took the initiative to ask Sister Xia if she could find some martial arts movies for him. The pay was not important, and the role was not important. The most important thing was that there were people with real kung fu in them, or there were martial arts stars.
.
Hearing his words, Sister Xia was confused and even reminded her quickly: "You are popular now. This kind of martial arts movie is very dangerous. If you get injured, you will not be able to film for several months. Don't act recklessly."
ah."
"It's okay, Sister Xia, aren't you about to audition for Director Xu's martial arts film? Although I have some basic knowledge, it is still difficult to be qualified for the role in this drama, so I want to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly go to the martial arts film crew.
Go around and learn a little bit."
Sister Xia did not agree, but asked: "What can you learn in twenty days?"
It was impossible for Lin Yuan to tell him about his superpowers, so he could only give him a casual look: "It's okay if you can learn a little bit, but at worst, I won't do action scenes like that, just give me any role."
He knew that Sister Xia was worried about being injured. She was at her hottest right now. If there was a big problem with her body, she would have to lie down for at least a few months or at most half a year. Once she lay down, it would definitely affect her future.
stardom.
"Okay, since you insist so much, then I'll ask around."
Sister Xia knew Lin Yuan's temper and knew that she couldn't defeat him, so she simply nodded and replied helplessly.
But she is also prepared and will not accept any dangerous moves, even if they are marginal roles.
With this idea in mind, Sister Xia immediately sent a message to her circle.
[Our artist Lin Yuan wants to take on a martial arts film. The salary can be negotiated. The most important thing is that there are actors with real kung fu. He wants to learn from his teacher's action scenes while filming with the group. 】
Once the message was sent, if it had been half a month ago, no one would have responded within three to five days.
But this time, after her message was sent.
After a few seconds, many people started asking.
"Sister Xia, is your artist the layman who adds money?"
"Sister Xia, are you the actor who plays Brother Jiaqian?"
"Sister Xia, Brother Jiaqian?"
Sister Xia quickly replied: "Yeah."
After learning that he was a Buddhist layman with extra money, the circle was filled with excitement, and all kinds of olive branches were thrown out crazily.
"Sister Xia, this is not a martial arts drama, it is a youth drama, with an investment of 30 million, how about you let him come to my place to try? There is a second male role."
"Sister Xia, I just took on a drama here. It's a costume drama. The investment is 20 million. The male lead has not been decided yet. Are you interested in having your artists come over and collaborate?"
"Sister Xia, I have a suspense drama here. The male lead, do you want to give it a try?"
Such a popular scene is all due to the traffic era.
After a period of fermentation, Lin Yuan has already become quite popular on the Internet. Now whenever the word "add money" is mentioned, everyone will immediately think of him.
This is not the point. The point is that the word "add money" has been re-created by countless netizens.
There are even many editors who specifically add this line to various movies to create a mixed edit.
For this reason, even though Lin Yuan only has a few million fans, his popularity is very strong and his popularity among passers-by is extremely terrifying. Almost all the younger generation of viewers know him.
therefore.
Under this terrifying popularity, the four words "Jiaqian Jushi" are the signature, guaranteed traffic, and guaranteed box office!
Think about it, why do so many movies have Xiaoxianrou come to participate? Is it because their acting skills are good? No, it’s because they bring their own traffic. Even the uninformed audience knows that Xiaoxianrou is a bad actor. Could it be that the producers
Don’t know? There’s no other way. If you don’t invite Xiaoxianrou, it will be difficult for the box office to exceed 100 million. Although you will be scolded if you invite Xiaoxianrou, the box office is guaranteed.
In an era where people are focused on money, no one cares about words. What they care about is money and interests.
Therefore, Lin Yuan also enjoyed the bonus period of traffic after becoming popular.
Sister Xia knew that Lin Yuan wanted to learn martial arts, so she smiled and declined the polite casting directors. At the same time, she also increased her requirements, saying that there must be real kung fu martial arts scenes.
As these words were spoken, the scene became quiet, but after a while, someone from the crew asked.
"My crew has a scene that meets your requirements, but the leading roles have already been decided, and there are only a few supporting roles. I wonder if you would like it?"
The person who spoke was Wu Da, a casting director. Ning Luoxia also knew him, but they were not very close.
Seeing the message he sent, Ning Luoxia also started chatting privately: "Brother Angkor, what do you say?"
"Do you know Xu Haofeng? His play is called "Master", starring Liao Fan, Song Jia, Jiang Wenli, and Teacher Jin. It tells the story of the grievances and grievances of the Jinmen Martial Arts School in the last century, but the overall style is not what we have seen.
The kind of moves that are gorgeous and fly over walls and walls are actually real fighting movies, with smooth movements and deadly moves."
Wu Da didn't expect that Ning Luoxia would really find him, so he answered quickly without thinking too much.
After hearing these words, Ning Luoxia nodded thoughtfully, and then asked a key question.
"Is it dangerous?"
"If it's a starring role, it's a bit dangerous, but if it's a marginal role, I dare say there's no risk."
"Okay, Brother Ang, please send me the book, and I'll let the artist take a look."
Ning Luoxia didn't waste any time receiving this reply.
Wu Da also quickly sent the notebook, took it, and Ning Luoxia forwarded it to Lin Yuan.
After receiving the notebook, Lin Yuan couldn't help but marvel at Sister Xia's efficiency.
It took less than half an hour to find a role for myself.
What he didn't know was that it wasn't how efficient Sister Xia was, but that he had become famous.
This is just like once a person gets rich, people who used to look up to you or look down on you will flock to you.
As an old saying goes, if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives, but if you are poor in the city, you have no one to care about you.
He was not famous before, even if he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, no one would come to him.
Now that he is famous and has become the most popular star at the moment, he is not begging for others, but others are begging for him.
Take Ning Luoxia as an example. Ever since Lin Yuan became famous, at least forty or fifty people from the crew have found him.
There is a very good cast, and the people participating are either first-tier or second-tier, but there are no ordinary people anyway.
There are some with poor lineups, but the prices given are extremely high.
Normally, the price of a second-tier star is around two million, and the role does not exceed two months, but how much is the asking price? Three million, four million, or even a sky-high price of five million, and the only requirement is that he be the protagonist.
Others would have probably agreed and signed the contract quickly, but instead of signing, Ning Luoxia actually declined.
The reason why she did this is also very simple.
Although Lin Yuan is popular now, it is only for a moment. The Internet has no memory, and no one knows how long he will be popular.
For this reason, from the perspective of an agent, she hopes that Lin Yuan will go as high as possible, to the front line, or even become a super front line.
And if you want him to reach the first-tier level, beyond the first-tier level, you have to give up some things, such as these 5 million salary.
At first glance, five million is a lot, but if you take this movie, you will destroy your future, because this kind of movie is all about cutting leeks and cheating the box office. What they spend money on is not Lin Yuan’s acting skills, but Lin Yuan’s acting skills.
Lin Yuan's traffic.
Therefore, as long as you take on this kind of movie, it will definitely receive negative reviews from the audience once it is released.
There are too many bad reviews and a bad reputation, which will definitely be a blow to Lin Yuan's stardom!
Just like hurting Zhongyong, he wiped out everyone.
.......
"Master?"
After Lin Yuan took the script, he began to read the script carefully. He was immediately attracted to it when he saw the title.
In about half an hour, he finished reading the script of the movie.
The movie "Master" tells the story of the Jinmen period of the last century, when Ip Man's fellow disciple Chen Shi, the southern sect master, went north to open a martial arts school.
Because the Jinmen martial arts gym has so many rules, it is simply a fantasy for outsiders to open a martial arts gym here.
Just when there was nothing to do, foreigners were rampant, and all the martial arts disciples in Jinmen were defeated by the foreigners. The reason was not that they were inferior, but that there was an unwritten rule in the Jinmen martial arts school, which was not to teach true skills.
But as the foreigners suppressed and ridiculed Jinmen martial arts everywhere, the people in Jinmen martial arts hall couldn't sit still. Everyone wanted to teach their disciples real skills, but due to the restrictions of the rules, they were more than capable.
In the end, the Jinmen martial arts master cooperated with Chen Shi and allowed Chen Shi, an outsider, to open a martial arts gym to teach his true skills and be the first to break this unwritten rule. As long as he broke it, the other martial arts masters would not have to bear the burden.
Reputation for breaking rules.
But if you want to open a martial arts gym in Jinmen, you must compete in the eight gyms in Jinmen. If the gymnasium is successful, the apprentice will leave Jinmen, and the master will stay in Jinmen to open a martial arts gym.
After determining the cooperation method, both parties began to make arrangements for this, and the story unfolded like this.
After watching the whole drama, there is not a trace of chivalry in it, but only grievances and worldly relationships. It can be said that it is extremely close to the real martial arts, allowing the audience to clearly understand what martial arts is!
But what attracted Lin Yuan the most was not the story, but the action scenes.
This movie doesn't have so many fancy moves, and all the fighting scenes are extremely real. In order to make this movie a success, the director also took great pains and found many well-known domestic masters to guide him.
For this reason, Lin Yuan immediately sent a message back to Sister Xia after reading the book.
"Sister Xia, please help me ask, when will the filming of this movie start?"
The only artist Sister Xia contacted was Lin Yuan, so she replied almost instantly: "I knew you would definitely take the job just after reading the book. I asked you in advance. The filming of this drama has already started. You have time to go now. The other person
The role assigned to you is that of a martial arts master. There won’t be many scenes. Twenty days is enough for filming. If you are willing, you can report there tomorrow.”
Why do younger men like mature women? There is no other reason than that they take care of you and do a lot of things for you in advance.
From Lin Yuan's point of view, he is definitely lucky to be able to partner with Ning Luoxia, as the other party understands him very well.
With a smile, Lin Yuan sent a message: "Give me the address and I'll go there tomorrow."
"Tianjin, I'll give you a phone number. Just call him when you arrive and he will come to pick you up."
After getting the address, Lin Yuan started packing his things without saying a word. He didn't wait for tomorrow and immediately asked his life assistant to book the fastest flight ticket for him.
An interesting incident on the way was that he met a fan at the airport, and dozens of people gathered around him to take photos.
Unfortunately, all of them were men and not a single woman, which made Lin Yuan feel very embarrassed.
What made him even more speechless was that he finally met a female fan, who was also a stewardess.
I asked the other party to pour me a glass of cold water, and she immediately said, "That's not much water left on our plane, so we have to pay extra."
This made Lin Yuan feel helpless and want to laugh, and he also made up his mind to make more good works as soon as possible, so that the audience could not always remember the joke of adding money to lay people.
It’s not that it’s bad, but if the audience only remembers one image of you, it will limit your future acting career, especially in terms of roles. If this role is too deeply rooted in people’s hearts, I guess only martial arts movies will look for me in the future.
Other movies don't think about themselves, and that's not a good thing.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yuan arrived in Tianjin.
I called Wu Da and he came to pick me up outside the airport early.
As soon as they met, Wu Da greeted him warmly: "Teacher Lin, I have admired you for a long time."
"Hello, Director Wu, I have heard Sister Xia mention you before, but I didn't expect to work together so soon."
In the past few years in Hengdian, Lin Yuan had not learned much about acting, but he had learned quite a lot about worldliness. When the other party was polite, he immediately became polite too.
Although people know that they are making it up, they feel extremely comfortable after hearing it.
"Hahaha, no wonder Luoxia said that Xitian picked up a treasure. I think it is true."
After a few polite words, under his guidance, Lin Yuan got into a Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan worth more than one million yuan.
Feeling the customized leather seats, Lin Yuan couldn't help but think about whether he should buy a car?
Cars are a fatal temptation for men. Most men like cars. No one wants to drive a convertible luxury car and enjoy the envious eyes of others while driving on the road.
"Teacher Lin, what do you think of our play?"
Before Lin Yuan could think too much, Wu Da asked.
This question is actually a pun. In disguise, you are asking the other person if they have read the script, and the art of speaking is reflected here. If you directly ask someone if they have read the script, wouldn’t you be questioning their dedication? But if you ask
Whether someone's script is good or not doesn't matter.
Wu Tat can also judge at once whether the other party has read the script carefully through the other party's answers, which can be regarded as a disguised understanding of the other party's level of professionalism.
"I think this script is very good. All the scenes presented to me feel like a story of grudges, redefining the word "jianghu" for the audience. The only thing is that I feel it is very difficult to shoot."
In one sentence, Lin Yuan gave a perfect answer.
When Wu Da heard this, how could he not know that Lin Yuan had carefully read the entire script?
No, he laughed immediately and praised directly: "I didn't expect Teacher Lin to look at it so carefully. Then before we go to the crew, let's decide on the roles? There are currently three roles available, one is
I mentioned to Luoxia, there are two more that you want to see?"
"No, I think the role of senior brother is quite good."
He has seen all the characters in this movie once, and except for the starring role, most of the other characters are basically the same, with nothing outstanding about them.
"Okay, let's decide on this role." From Wu Da's point of view, as long as Lin Yuan participates in the role, it is already a good thing. As for what role he wants to play, it doesn't matter. Anyway, his purpose is to flatter him.
of traffic.
In less than half an hour, the car arrived at the best hotel in Tianjin.
After Wu Da arranged accommodation, he originally asked him to take a rest here, but Lin Yuan refused.
"This is my first time filming a modern martial arts scene like this. Can you take me to the set first? I want to feel the atmosphere."
"Ah? Okay!" Wu Da was stunned after hearing this. He had come into contact with countless young actors, and he had seen dedicated ones, but he had never seen someone as dedicated as Lin Yuan.
The crew was simply impressed.
The filming of "The Master" has already started, and today's scene happens to be a martial arts scene. Chen Shi, played by Liao Fan, meets his disciple for the first time. The two have their first fight with weapons. After defeating Xiao Geng, the other party becomes Chen Shi's disciple.
When we arrived at the set, everyone was in a state of shutdown. The martial arts teacher was explaining the scene to Liao Fan. It seemed that the actions during the previous filming were not up to standard.
"Director Xu, the teacher Lin I told you about today is here."
When Wu Da came to the set, he immediately ran to the director and pointed to Lin Yuan behind him with joy and made an introduction to everyone.
"Oh?" Director Xu knew that Lin Yuan was coming, but according to normal procedures, the other party should be resting in the hotel at this time. How could he come directly to the crew? Out of curiosity, he stood up and followed the other party's gesture and looked at Lin Yuan.
Far.
"Hello, hello." Director Xu didn't say anything, but stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.
In the past few days, Lin Yuan has already become a must-talk figure in the industry.
The main reason is that everyone has witnessed a miracle together. It is not common to become popular overnight in the entertainment industry, especially when the other party relies on their strength to become popular, rather than relying on some flashy gimmicks like some Internet celebrities.
As insiders, they all know that Lin Yuan's popularity is sustainable. Because of this, everyone knows one thing, that is, he has not reached his upper limit.
At least the front-line actors didn't run away. Of course, it would be a different matter if the other party sought his own death.
"Hello, Director Xu."
Director Xu is no ordinary person. He is a screenwriter himself and has also written an award-winning documentary novel. Last year, he won the Best Screenplay Award for his action film "The Grandmaster".
The current film "Master" can be said to be his first work.
They looked at each other, and the other actors also nodded proactively after seeing Lin Yuan coming.
Such as Liao Fan and Song Jia.
Lin Yuan also greeted them politely, and soon the crew continued filming.
I saw Liao Fan holding the Eight-Zhan Sword in his hand, and the role of Xiao Geng was wearing rags with his belly exposed. Xiao Geng rushed to Liao Fan under the instructions of the recorder.
The two people immediately entered into a fight.
In the drama "Master", Director Xu's requirement is one thing: truth, truth, or **** truth.
Therefore, Lin Yuan, who was a bystander, watched the fight between the two people. At first glance, it seemed like they were playing house, not a martial arts competition. But upon closer inspection, he found that although everyone's movements were ordinary, no matter whether
The gesture of raising the knife and the direction of the attack were all not sloppy at all. One second it was a collision of weapons, and the next second the knife was placed at the opponent's vital point.
If you move any further and use any force, the opponent will definitely turn into a corpse.
This kind of fighting method is something Lin Yuan has never seen before, and it feels simple and smooth.
During the viewing process, this scene was still NG. Director Xu was somewhat striving for perfection after facing his first work.
Lin Yuan didn't make any movement, folding his hands and watching quietly.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and it took a full hour before the scene was considered OK.
With the hard acting skills of the other party and the guidance of various martial arts teachers, Liao Fan lived up to Lin Yuan's expectations, and two blue light balls fell to the ground.
"Dingdong, congratulations on picking up [Action and Acting Skills - Weapon +3]"
"Dingdong, congratulations on picking up [Action and Acting Skills - Limb Coordination +2]"
.....
After hearing these two reminders, Lin Yuan couldn't help but frowned.
What the hell are weapons? Aren't these just two ordinary knives? Logically speaking, they should be dropped sword skills? How come weapons are dropped?
Curious, he couldn't help but ask the action instructor on the side.
After some inquiring, he found out that the Eight-Zhan Sword belonged to the Wing Chun sect and was a unique weapon of Wing Chun.
In the Wing Chun lineage, there are three boxing techniques, one stick and one sword handed down.
This refers to the Eight-Zhan Sword.
After clearing up the confusion, Lin Yuan also guessed that the director wanted to ride on Ip Man's popularity.
But this is normal. In these days, a director who doesn't take advantage of the popularity is not a good director.
After the filming of one scene, the crew also dispersed, and Lin Yuan, who was the most popular recently, naturally attracted much attention. After Liao Fan changed his clothes, he happened to bump into Lin Yuan.
"Hello, I am Liao Fan."
"Hello, Teacher Liao, my name is Lin Yuan."
The two shook hands together. Liao Fan was also a straight-tempered person. He had read an article about Lin Yuan a few days ago and knew that he came from a group performer to the present. He liked this kind of person who relied on his strength very much.
, so he didn’t care whether the two of them were familiar with each other, so he immediately asked: “How about a few drinks?”
"Okay, I grew up watching your movies. I have to have a drink when I see my idol today."
No one will ever be at a disadvantage if he talks nicely. Compared to his own popularity, Liao Fan is the one who has truly come to this day step by step. Whether it is out of connections or admiration, he must participate in this drinking game.
"Lao Liu, Lao Huang, Lao Zhang, let's go, let's teach him a lesson."
Liao Fan drinks a lot and likes to drink a few sips whenever he has nothing to do, so after hearing Lin Yuan's promise, he immediately happily waved to his friends.
"Okay, no problem!"
The other drinking friends did not hesitate and responded immediately, and the group quickly headed to the hotel.
When we arrived at the hotel, the alcohol value that Lin Yuan had picked up before came into play here.
They didn't drink any yellow or red wine. They just drank white wine, and it was very high-alcohol, like burning knives.
On the stage, Liao Fan is a tough guy, but at dinner he is a talkative and a sommelier.
Before the food was served, a few people had three or four glasses of wine.
Seeing Lin Yuan motionless, Liao Fan knew that this kid was a bit famous, and he immediately started to grin.
People who drink like to drink with people who drink well, mainly to have fun.
Just like that, the group of people started to behave themselves and had a drink without incident.
Afterwards, everyone's face was flushed, including Lin Yuan, but he was a little better than these people.
Liao Fan drank a bottle and a half by himself and had basically reached his limit. At this time, his tongue was spinning a little when he spoke.
"Brother, you can do it. This is the first time I've seen someone of your age drink like this. I'm determined to be your brother. From now on, I will be your good big brother and you will be my good brother."
Men build friendships very quickly.
A bottle of wine and a cigarette can quickly establish a deep friendship. Of course, this is why Lin Yuan became popular. If Lin Yuan was still an ordinary actor, he could also establish a friendship with Liao Fan, but it would never be so fast.
After a long drink, everyone finally got up at ten o'clock in the evening.
When he returned to the hotel, Liao Fan could no longer walk, so several assistants took him back to his room.
Although Lin Yuan was not as drunk as Lingding, he was still drunk.
He fell on the bed and fell asleep on the bed without even taking a shower. The sound of snoring slowly filled the room.
........
Early the next morning, when Lin Yuan came to the set, Liao Fan did not arrive.
The director immediately cursed when he saw this.
"This Liao Fan, even if he can't drink as well as others, he still insists on drinking. Everyone has come, and he hasn't come yet. He won't be allowed to drink next time."
Listening to the director's scolding, Lin Yuan felt a little embarrassed and was just about to say a word to help.
The director looked at Lin Yuan and said, "You have a good drinking capacity. How about we have a few drinks tonight?"
Lin Yuan: "..."
Good guy, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked!
Drinking for a long time is the corporate culture of this crew.
"No problem, you can do whatever you want, I'll do it."
Lin Yuan, who found the reason, immediately responded to the director's words. In his opinion, this was a moment for building connections.
When the time came to half past ten, Liao Fan came to the set looking drowsy.
After seeing Lin Yuan, he immediately greeted him: "Brother, what's going on with you? When did southerners become so good at drinking?"
"You still have the nerve to say that? Even a young man can't drink it." The director took advantage of every opportunity to scorn him.
Liao Fan blushed and quickly argued: "Who said that? I was in bad condition yesterday, let's do it again tonight."
The director didn't give him a chance to show off: "Go, go, come on, come on, hurry up and film!"
The conversation between the two also aroused laughter from everyone. Liao Fan didn't care and went to change his clothes with a dissatisfied expression.
Lin Yuan still didn't have much of a role today, but he happily watched on.
The beautiful name is learning, but in fact it is secretly picking up attributes.
His "efforts" were rewarded handsomely.
During the filming process, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he chose this crew. If he hadn't chosen, he would have suffered heavy losses.
Because of the special nature of this drama, all the fights must be real. In addition, the director invited various domestic martial arts masters, so the attribute light balls will basically explode whenever there is a fight.
More than ten days passed.
Lin Yuan has already acquired a lot of action acting skills.
Among them, the one with the least number of picks was [Limb Coordination], with a total of 6 points picked up.
The reason why there are so few is mainly because Lin Yuan himself is not bad in this attribute. It is considered good to pick up so many.
The highest attribute points picked up are weapons. According to statistics, a total of 13 points were picked up.
The rest are [Fist +9], [Grab +8], [Sword +6], [Leg +5], [Strength +5], [Speed +3].
After picking up these attributes, Lin Yuan's role was completed. Seeing that there were still a few days left, he left in no hurry and continued to stay on the crew.
It was only in the last few days that he was in a state of failure.
With a little disappointment, Lin Yuan said goodbye to the crew. Before leaving, Liao Fan went on set with the director and had a drink with him.
After this scene, Lin Yuan unexpectedly won the title of Little Wine Master.
Faced with this title, Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh. He knew that after this nickname spread, when he went to other crews, someone would definitely come to him for a drink.
When I took the plane back to Shanghai, Brother Chao called me again.
After taking the call, I could feel Brother Chao's playful smile right through the screen.
"Brother, how about you and Liu Yan acting together? Are you nice to me?"
When he heard the name Liu Yan, the English letter E immediately came to Lin Yuan's mind!
"Not bad." Lin Yuan, who didn't realize there was a trap in it, immediately answered honestly.
"Okay, let's just decide, you and Liu Yan will play together." Deng Chao seemed a little impatient and decided the role for him without giving Lin Yuan a chance to react.
"OK, no problem." Lin Yuan didn't think much and agreed immediately.
But he didn't know that until he got to the crew, he realized that he had been fooled!
