Chapter 125: Unrivaled in the World (Update 1)

To be honest, although Su Yun looks childish on the outside but is actually an over-age girl on the inside, because most of the people I met before were well-educated and had maintained their basic qualities, or were decent people who acted well on the surface, so such scenes of slamming the table and glaring at others without any social etiquette and using vulgar language were only seen in those Hong Kong society-themed movies I had watched before...

However, the scene where evil people are dealt with by more evil people is indeed quite bad. After being yelled at like that, Director Jin could no longer utter a word of rebuttal.

Su Yun looked at the pair of brothers who had just risen to power: the face she was more familiar with was actually the older brother, Xiang Xuqiang, rather than the one who slammed the table and glared at Xiang Xusheng.

Thanks to Zhou's comedies, even though she hasn't seen many movies in which Xiang Qiuqiang participated, at least the character of "Long Wu" is still quite profound.

Even though I was just a little kid back then, when I saw Long Wu, played by Qiu Qiang, appear on the screen, I felt from the bottom of my heart that this character was an example of a ruthless man who didn't talk much, and I naturally felt a sense of fear. I admired the crew for finding such a special actor who looked scary - later on, when I found out that this person was actually from a gang, I could only sigh that he acted in his true colors.

But now they were on the road to cooperation, so Su Yun had to restrain her scrutiny of the two of them and instead put on a business-like smile like the adults around her.

After agreeing on the script changes and the film's genre change, everyone at the table ate something in a very "harmonious" manner and then left.

Due to the temporary addition of this film shooting plan, Su Yun had to ask for two more days off from school, with the idea of ​​taking the first two days to find out the current situation of the crew after the content was changed.

It is worth mentioning that after leaving the party last night, she pulled Alan Tam to have another talk. After some negotiations, she finally made an agreement with Alan Tam to exchange the cover rights of the English song they liked for Pok-Yan Chen's cameo in the movie.

I once read an article that said Zhang and Chen are just like Jia Baoyu and Prince of Beijing in Dream of the Red Chamber in many aspects and relationships. Su Yun had the rare opportunity to participate in the production of a movie with the theme of Dream of the Red Chamber (although it was a magical adaptation), so she deliberately put this rare young couple in the Hong Kong circle together on camera.

Although according to the positioning given to his artists by Alan Tam, Pak-Yeung Chen tries his best to focus on the development of the music industry; however, when there is an opportunity to film a movie, he also hopes that his artists can mix in the film and television industry.

Especially for a rare young handsome guy like Chen Baiyang, it is a waste to train him only as a talented singer. If he can be as versatile as Luo Yun in the past, who can sing, write and act, then he will have the best development and will not be prone to failure.

If it weren't for the fact that Luo Yun, with whom he had once worked well, went to Japan for training in 1985 in order to seek development because Taiwanese singers were popular in the Hong Kong music scene, causing local singers to be at a disadvantage, he would not have placed his hopes on a newcomer like Chen Baiyang who was too young and fresh, and even thought about signing one or two more newcomers for training.

However, Luo Yun's return is almost here: Luo Yun has been doing well in the film industry, and he won the championship in the All-Japanese Song Contest held by the Japanese TV station, becoming the first non-Japanese singer to win this award. He has also released three singles as a result, and in addition to his popularity, he has also considered returning to his home country for development.

TBB had previously planned to invite Luo Yun back to record the Cantonese theme song for this year's major TV series "Family Changes". If the transformation and establishment of his style go smoothly this time, he will definitely return to develop in his home country.

But Chen Baiyang cannot accumulate popularity of songs by singing TV drama theme songs like Luo Yun did, and finally convert it into record sales.

If you focus on song production, the exposure may not be enough, and if the exposure is not enough, the sales of the record may not be good.

Therefore, Patrick Tam was always looking for some film and television roles or roles for Peter Chan that only required a good look but not too high a level of acting skills, and from time to time he would notify him to be a guest on this or that variety show or radio program to maintain a certain amount of exposure for him.

Su Yun naturally understood Tan Guoxi's painstaking efforts, so she set up the role of "Young King of Beijing" in the script as a somewhat cold and aloof martial arts master, which is exactly the opposite of the role of Jia Baoyu played by Zhang Querong, who requires quite high acting skills - she has already seen Chen Baiyang's acting skills.

It's not that he didn't try hard, but given his personality, he just couldn't let go and perform naturally, revealing a sense of being out of place in this movie world.

This kind of problem often occurs in the "fresh meat" actors of later generations. It seems that this person is forced into the world of this drama, which is incongruous. Some actors with poor professional level or spirit can even use the same expression and similar appearance to perform in multiple dramas.

And many of them are just exaggerated to be “handsome”!

What about Xiao Li is too fat, Ah Tang is too short, and Zha Lan can't get it, but only my so-and-so has a gorgeous face... Seriously, don't you people have a guilty conscience? !

Su Yun, who has been deceived countless times by fake beauties, feels that these should not be called fresh meat, but rather frozen meat. Combined with the expressionless performance throughout, it is entirely possible to open a magical research course called "Frozen Meat Performance Art"...

Therefore, in the contrast of those frozen young actors in the drama, Chen Baiyang, who is considered to have mediocre acting skills by today's people, is not a big problem for Su Yun: at least he has a good face and temperament! He can also dance!

It was only after they really met that Su Yun realized that Chen Baiyang, who later looked like a good boy and was described as melancholy and introverted in the Hong Kong circle, was actually a nightclub prince who would not go home until one or two in the morning every night. His "dancing" skills were all honed in nightclubs such as Bowring Street and Lan Kwai Fong...

In contrast, Zhang Querong, who looks quite romantic and has a nightclub style, is actually a stay-at-home otaku. When he has no work or invitations, he stays at home listening to music and reading books.

Very good, he is handsome and agile, and with the fighting moves designed by the dragon and tiger martial artists, he can show off his face and skills in the play and maintain the character of the flower of the high mountain. The acting here is left to other actors.

After confirming Chen Po-yang's acting style, Su Yun handed him a videotape signed by Zha Lan, saying, "This is a high-definition collector's edition of 'Lone Killer'. You should carefully study the actor's interpretation style tonight and go for an audition tomorrow."

It is hard to find film and television clips of young handsome actors who act in a frozen meat style nowadays. Fortunately, this movie of Jharkhand is a typical template of young handsome actors' acting skills. He successfully brought the movie to life with his looks, which greatly lowered people's expectations of his acting skills as the leading actor.

Chen Po-yang took it with a sad face: He really wanted to help his friend, but he also didn't want to get himself involved. He hadn't been to a disco for a long time because of recording songs and practicing singing. Now with a contract for the second male lead, it was basically like being in a small dark room with a larger scope of activities...

"Think about it, you don't want to look bad in front of your father, do you?" Tan Guoxi repeatedly comforted this little ancestor who was not very concerned about his career.

Chen Boyang sighed, but finally arrived at the set on time the next day.

At this moment, due to the handover issue, the filming was temporarily limited to some unimportant scenery shots. Zhang Querong saw that he was a little at a loss after coming here, so he immediately came over enthusiastically and prepared to take him to try on makeup.

Due to time constraints, the costumes were borrowed from TBB. Compared to Zhang Querong's specially customized new red brocade robe, Chen Boyan's costumes are more inclined to the modified style of traditional Cantonese opera, with a light gold base matched with purple coiled dragon patterns and a tall gold and jade hair crown on his head. If he had not had the temperament of singing Cantonese opera himself, he would hardly be able to support such a dazzling and brilliant look.

But once it holds up, this kind of costume that focuses on stage effects is indeed more luxurious than ordinary costumes.

Su Yun and new member Xu He are comparing the old script with the previous one while checking the footage that has already been filmed, planning to pick out the usable clips to edit out, an old trick to save money.

Xu He knew that he had picked up the material by chance this time, and because of his seniority, he restrained himself and did not let himself go too much. He patiently discussed with Su Yun about whether to keep the material clips.

He also studied abroad and knew that screenwriters in Hollywood have considerable power, so he did not ignore the comments of Su Yun, the dual leader, screenwriter and assistant director, because of Su Yun's appearance and age.

Wu Shiyuan said that if he performs well this time, TBB will recommend him to participate in the production of the next major drama series "Family Changes". After accumulating experience, he can then transfer internally to Zhao Film Company to make movies.

Zhao's films are now in decline, but there are still many prehistoric bigwigs. With his qualifications, it would be difficult for him to squeeze into Zhao's circle of film directors in the next few years if he doesn't work harder.

While one side was busy organizing the materials, the two male actors, who had just changed into their costumes and done their styling, walked out holding hands affectionately.

Su Yun glanced up inadvertently, and as the light and shadows flowed, the two young men in ancient costumes slowly walked towards them. It seemed as if she really had an illusory sense of time and space interweaving.

One is a romantic and unrestrained young master, the other is a handsome and elegant young man. How fortunate this era is to have such a pair of unparalleled and brilliant figures in the world during its most brilliant years.
