Chapter 134, The slap in the face came so quickly
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the lights were still on in Chengtian Jiahe Company.
There are agents and there are artists.
"How is it? Li Yun, what's that expression on your face?"
After Zhang Baichen returned to Chengtian Jiahe.
The whole person was in a state of confusion.
I feel a little doubtful about life.
"Talk about failure? If you failed, you failed. Don't look like a loser. It's embarrassing." Wang Jinghua looked at Zhang Baichen with a little disgust.
He is a veteran employee of Jiahe, but his ability to control his emotions is so poor.
If we tell others about this, people will think that the company is not professional enough.
“It really didn’t work out.”
"It's normal that the deal didn't work out. There's a lack of everything in the circle, except people. Just look for another one." Wang Jinghua said calmly. This was not an unacceptable result.
But I'm still curious as to why.
"Why? Is it because we didn't treat them well enough?"
"He said we had too many resources and too many restrictions, and the range of roles he wanted to try was too broad."
Zhang Baichen explained Li Yun's request in detail.
After hearing these requests, Wang Jinghua was so angry that she laughed.
"Is he a psychopath? Does he think he's a genius?"
Crazy and arrogant.
"The first requirement for an immersive actor is that he or she must have a wide range of acting skills. I have never heard of such a requirement."
"And there can't be any restrictions. If he makes me lose money, do I have to pay him?"
"I want him to come and make money for me."
Wang Jinghua shook her head at this time: "Only by himself, he will definitely not be able to get better resources than Tianlongbabu. Within a year, his name will disappear from the entertainment industry."
At this time, Zhang Baichen seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
"I met Mr. Xing's people when I was doing my job."
"That's pretty good luck." Wang Jinghua said with some surprise. With Zhang Baichen's professionalism, he must be able to get something out of him.
"Then their project is about to start filming, and the villain is a new generation actor from our Beijing circle."
"Um?"
"New generation? Star Master?"
Wang Jinghua was a little shocked. Which new generation in Beijing was so lucky?
"Have we ever come into contact?"
Wang Jinghua felt that it might be a new actor that she had overlooked.
"That's the Li Yun we want to invite."
"ah?"
The slap in the face came so quickly.
I had said before that he would never be able to get any good resources again, but I didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face so quickly.
"It seems we have been paying attention to his movements in the TV drama circle before," Jing Jinghua suddenly realized.
This Li Yun.
He is active in both film and television.
Li Yun received the notice to join the "Kung Fu" crew and did not hesitate for long. After a little preparation, he was ready to leave for Hong Kong.
What to do next.
It should be after filming "Kung Fu" that he went to audition for the role of Erlang Shen in "The Lotus Lantern".
CCTV's speed from project approval to the start of filming is not that fast.
After the audition for The Lotus Lantern, the Chinese New Year should begin.
"What should I bring?"
"You don't need to bring anything. They provide food and accommodation." Li Yun said at this moment: "Or you can bring some steamed buns. I like this shop downstairs. It has a sour taste of traditional fermentation."
"You're almost a master at tasting steamed buns. I don't know when you started liking this thing. Oh, yes, it was after you filmed The World's Number One that you suddenly fell in love with eating steamed buns."
"I don't like delicacies from land and sea, I just like that old-fashioned steamed bun."
"Really?" Li Yun said as he ate a steamed bun in his hand, "It's like I fell in love with this thing a long, long time ago."
"Then your concept of a long time is really weird. I happen to have some beef jerky here. You can bring some over. I got it from my hometown. It's spicy beef jerky. It can replenish energy and protein."
“I don’t like beef.”
Li Yun was chewing a steamed bun while thinking about his role.
Fire Cloud Evil God.
The ultimate villain of this comedy, the ultimate killer, a psychopath, and a user of Toad Kung Fu.
The first request given by Stephen Chow.
It has to be ugly.
Just to act ugly.
Li Yun was asked to abandon all his natural advantages, use makeup to cover up his appearance, and master this role.
Because he can't be handsome.
He wants to be ugly, he wants to be funny.
This is the quality that the villain of this comedy movie needs to have.
Both in appearance and temperament, he is extremely terrible.
Of course, as long as the image highlights this point, there are no other requirements.
Big shorts, flip-flops, and a white vest.
What a funny image, a clown that appears in comedy movies.
A clown.
In the end, the protagonist who had awakened the Tathagata Palm was captured.
He is similar to the villain in New Police Story.
They all exist from birth to existence, and they all exist to serve as stepping stones for the protagonist.
That's what they mean.
At this moment, Li Yun came to the Xiangjiang area.
Although I have been here many times.
But this time he really came with his head held high.
When he first arrived at the hotel, Li Yun met another person who came here to film a movie.
Wu Yanzu, wearing sunglasses and a small vest, is the coolest person wherever he goes.
It was quite high-profile and attracted paparazzi to take pictures, with a poster of New Police Story next to it.
Li Yun, a mainlander, was holding a steamed bun in his hand, which looked very rustic.
"'New Police Story' also started filming at this time. Are Stephen Chow and Brother Long competing with each other?"
At this moment, Li Yun clicked his tongue.
The promotion started before the filming even started.
It became popular before it was even filmed.
This is the dragon that accomplishes things.
This is the king of kung fu comedy.
He also acts in a high-profile manner.
Quite high profile.
Those paparazzi were like dogs that smelled blood, afraid of losing even a little bit of popularity.
For example, Zhou Xingxing is much more low-key.
Just like Stephen Chow himself.
Quite low-key.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!
More money and resources are invested in filming the movie itself, and large-scale promotion and marketing will only be carried out after filming is completed.
A Pig Cage Walled City was even built for this purpose, which alludes to the Kowloon Walled City of the past, a place where good and bad people mixed together, but the overall tone was inseparable from poverty and the lower class.
Poverty and the lower classes.
The hardship of being unable to live.
It is Kowloon Walled City.
It's the 'Pig Cage City'.
Most of the drama takes place here.
Focus on the story on this stage.
The story of "Kung Fu".
At this moment, Li Yun came to the place where Kung Fu was about to start filming, which was the Zhulong Village that was being built with great fanfare.
Many crew members were here at this time.
Then you can hear Stephen Chow cursing.
"What's wrong with you? Are you a pig? Is there something wrong with your brain? How can you be an actor like this? Go sell pork."
Stephen Chow was holding a script and scolding the people on the other side.
It's "fried with sauce".
At this time, Jiangbao nodded timidly and said yes.
Maybe it’s just a look or an expression, and if you do it wrong, Stephen Chow will get furious.
"Also, you rubbish, can you please pay more attention? We are making movies for the audience, not for me. You are so bad at reading the script."
Master Xing shook his head.
They had already been doing script readings.
The reason why Li Yun was able to join the crew for a longer period of time was purely because of the length of the role, which did not have too many scenes.
Although the position is that of villain No. 1.
But there aren't that many scenes.
Not much but important.
It serves as a foil for the entire protagonist’s growth.
At this time, all the actors saw Li Yun joining the group, and they all had their own thoughts.
Even Yang Xiao Long was there.
The original Fire Cloud Evil God.
However, at this time, he was not here as the Fire Cloud Evil God, but one of the martial arts instructors of Kung Fu.
This man, one of the Four Little Dragons of Hong Kong who once stood shoulder to shoulder with Bruce Lee, now serves as the martial arts instructor in this kung fu crew.
"Hello, seniors." Li Yun also showed the proper politeness.
At this time, Zhou Xingxing glanced at Li Yun and nodded slightly.
"Go get the script later, and then just join us in the reading."
The only person who plays opposite Li Yun is the leader of the Axe Gang.
The landlord and the landlady in "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
Naturally, there is also the protagonist who has learned the Tathagata Palm.
"OK."
At this time, Li Yun took over the thin script.
As Stephen Chow said at the beginning, this role has a lot of discretion.
The bottom line is to act out the feeling of a mentally ill martial arts fanatic.
Let Li Yun play freely with the rest.
It's just free play.
To put it nicely, it is a free play; to put it bluntly, nothing he does affects the performance of the protagonist and the movie.
The biggest villain.
The biggest screw.
It's just a screw.
"She looks quite young and pretty. I don't know if she can achieve the desired effect by pretending to be ugly."
Yang Xiaolong touched his chin at this time and was indeed a little curious about the handsome young man in front of him.
Originally, he had no urgent need to play this role.
The funny and ridiculous appearance of this crazy Fire Cloud Evil God is just to make the protagonist realize his true self and reach the climax of the plot.
There is no emphasis on the text itself.
"But Stephen Chow was a little impulsive to let this young man come. It can be said that this is the second movie he directed and acted in after Kung Fu Soccer. He specially invited us old guys to come out." Yuan Hua looked at Li Yun not far away: "I heard that he was also an actor who was not wanted by Cheng Shilong."
"Of course, if Wu Yanzu could choose me, I would choose him." The landlady Yuan Qiu next to her said with a sigh, and she was quite straightforward.
"That's not necessarily true. The pay of this Xiao Li is far different from that of Wu Yanzu. I heard that A Zu's pay is almost 600,000 yuan, and this one is probably less than 50,000 yuan."
"People in big companies are expensive. I don't know how much of the 600,000 yuan salary A-Zu will get."
"One hundred thousand yuan is a generous gesture from the company."
Amidst the gossip.
Yang Xiaolong touched his chin and said.
"In fact, generally speaking, for us in Kung Fu, his arrival is just another person to be scolded."
Expectations for Li Yun. Wrong.
Or rather, I didn't have much expectation for the role itself.
It is enough to portray the madness of an extremely thin and stereotyped character.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t perform it.
It's a comedy.
Just get the shape.
