My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 312 Acting Teaching and Recognizing a Thief as a Father

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

Compared with business intrigues, Wu Xiaozu, a serious, pure and honest scientific research filmmaker, prefers to shoot movies and train actors. . .

1024 Locomotive Film Company, two film projects.One is "Suspect" with an investment of 500 million.The other is "Young and Dangerous 500" with an investment of more than 3 million.

The company's administrative affairs did not drag Wu Xiaozu too much.After the shares were established, Jiang Jiahua just returned to Hong Kong Island.

Wu Xiaozu once again plunged into the ocean of art, in and out, and worked hard. This kind of happiness made him enjoy it very much. The atmosphere of art is like juice, overflowing wave after wave.

Kowloon Walled City, minibus make-up car.

The long-legged trembling M Gao Lihong bent over the curve and took the initiative to clean the teaching site.

Despite the air-conditioning in the minibus, she was still stained with a fine layer of sweat.

As the saying goes, there are hard roads in Shufeng, and there are no teeth in the sea of ​​caves.Acting, always learning endless.Relying on the initiative to ask for help twice, Teacher Wu greeted Liu Weiqiang and asked Gao Lihong to play the heroine of "Young and Dangerous".

Wu Xiaozu likes actresses who pursue performing arts.

Today, Hong Kong Island's acting scene is deeply influenced by Western stage plays. The TVB artist training class is one of the representatives, focusing on physical performance is the characteristic of TVB acting class.Looking closely at the stage effects of TVB costume dramas, it is clearly the stage set.

In later generations, the boss Zeng Zhiwei also served as a professional teacher in the TVB artist training class, specializing in instructing newcomers on how to treat others, how to behave and moral education.

When it comes to the field of performances on Hong Kong Island, I have to mention Chung King Fai.Fa Ge, who is crazy about love, is the actor he unearthed.

In 1984, the Hong Kong Island Theater Association was also promoted by him. In the same year, he became the dean of the Drama School of the Hong Kong Island Academy for Performing Arts.Sir James, the face of Hong Kong Island stage theater in later generations, came from Chung King Fai's family.

The second male lead of "Suspect", Xiao Xianrou Huang Qiusheng is also a representative of the Hong Kong Island Academy for Performing Arts.Wang Zulan, the representative of variety show cafes and comedians, is actually from a drama class. He is more professional than many small fresh meat in the film and television industry. He was even hired by TVB as a body language teacher in the artist training class. dry food.

Xie Junhao, who later robbed his brother Golden Horse Best Actor, is also an outstanding graduate of this academy.

Of course, Hong Kong Island's performance theory is too much influenced by the stage form, which makes their performances easy to exaggerate.In the early stage of many actors' performances, you will have a feeling of exaggeration with excessive force, which is very exaggerated.

The most typical one is Zha Zhahui, who needs to experience three minutes to squeeze.

In fact, this is generally the case for actors on Hong Kong Island. It’s just that many of them have caught up with the golden age of Hong Kong Island. They have filmings every month, and they can slowly hone their acting skills.Gu Tianlei and Xie Tingfeng are like this.

The only actor Wu Xiaozu favors should be Mr. Guan Xi.The power and tension displayed by a "dog bite dog" is enough to kill many contemporary male actors in seconds.Pity.

At this time, Huang Qiusheng also had the shortcoming of acting too hard.

Fortunately, Tang Chuan's character design was designed to complement Shishen.

The whole movie, can't both male pig feet suffer?For example, Sherlock Holmes and Watson, Mr. Ju and Xiaobai.Two people only have more dramatic tension when their personalities confront each other or even complement each other.

After all, this is a movie, not a novel called The Devotion of Suspect X.Shooting a movie is itself a secondary creation of the story.

Many people call it directors not to carry private goods, which is bullshit!If the directors all over the world didn't carry private goods, the movie would have died a long time ago.Of course, too much entrainment is easy to be criticized.

For example Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen should not be classified as a good director or a bad director. Like Quentin's video store clerk, he belongs to the category of bull B.Of course, Director B has his own little hobbies.

Quentin's foot fetish is well known all over the world, but it's not surprising that Jiang Wen has a hip fetish.

Gao Lihong smoothed the folds of her hip skirt, and rinsed her mouth with tea.Standing on the outside, watching Wu Xiaozu's vigorous guidance of Zhang Guoying, Anita Mui and Huang Qiusheng's play, jumping up and down, and sometimes appearing in person, it looks very lifelike.

Sure enough, a good director is definitely good at training actors.

Wang Jiawei likes to boil.Tsui Hark likes to dig.Wu Xiaozu likes to get off the horse and guide him personally.

……

shooting scene.

"Da da——when you walk over like this, your eyes lightly glance... here you need to pause—" Wu Xiaozu motioned Huang Qiusheng to look at his figure, and after finishing speaking, he went on stage to perform and demonstrate in person.

Wu Xiaozu's pace was unhurried, his eyes were lazy, and he looked at the sundries in the corridor with a smile on the corner of his mouth seemingly casually.

Step by step, walk very calmly.

He was still shaking the car keys casually in his hand, and the jingling sound matched his steps, showing his casualness.

"when--"

As soon as the key was put away, the movement stopped, and the eyes stayed on a pot of delicate wild flowers.

"Do you understand?"

Wu Xiaozu put away his movements, "You don't have to pretend to tilt your head or blink your eyes when you stay. You just saw this potted flower unintentionally and felt very surprised in this chaotic environment. But this kind of surprise doesn't need you to use it. It’s too exaggerated to perform.”

"But you also said it, director, is it very abrupt?" Huang Qiusheng continued to ask.

"For example!"

Wu Xiaozu put his arms around Huang Qiusheng's shoulders and pointed to the wild cat under the eaves, "You are a wild cat that comes to prey. The meat pad is on the tile, handle it gently. At this time, a small flower next to it makes it noticeable, but it must not be too big. Reaction.

Tang Chuan needs to be fiery on the outside, but he is more rational on the inside.He is the opposite of Ishigami. Ishigami is cold on the outside but a dreamer deep down. "

Wu Xiaozu patted Huang Qiusheng on the shoulder, let him understand it by himself, and walked to Mei Yanshan's side.

Mei Yan might as well tie her head up indiscriminately, wearing ordinary house clothes, with her plain face facing the sky.With a cigarette in his hand, he stared at Wu Xiaozu.

"In the previous scene, your acting was also biased. You were the one standing here cooking—"

Wu Xiaozu quickly put on his apron, signaled Anita Mui to pay attention, and then beckoned Li Zhaoji to cooperate in the audition.

Qiu Litao, Pan Hengsheng, Ao Zhijun, Zou Lin and others all gathered around to listen to Wu Xiaozu's lecture.

Other directors like the screenwriter to be the screenwriter, and the lighting to be the lighting, and then tell the crew the requirements and cooperate to shoot.Wu Xiaozu is different.

He is more used to letting the whole crew participate in the creation together.Let everyone understand the filming intent of the film.

Following Qiu Litao's "OK" gesture, Wu Xiaozu entered the scene instantly.

Wearing a floral apron, standing in front of the stove, skillfully cooking.Really fried!
The shovel flipped lightly, and the fingers naturally pretended to caress the hair next to the ear.Under the smoke and fire, the movements are easy to master.

At this moment, Wu Xiaozu is really like a housewife.

"Dong dong."

The door rang.

"Xiaomei, wash your hands, the food is ready—"

Wu Xiaozu didn't turn his head back, he raised his voice and yelled, with a warm smile on his face.

"Boom boom boom——"

Wu Xiaozu showed doubts, half turned around, and poked the probe, "Is that you, Xiaomei? Didn't you bring the key? You keep forgetting—" He said, wiping his hands with his apron naturally, his movements were smooth and natural.

"Ah Jing, do you understand?" Wu Xiaozu recovered after turning around, looked at Anita Mui, and called out the names of her characters in the play.In order to let the actors into the play, the names of the actors in the crew are all the names in the play.

"The way you walked just now was too dusty. It's not suitable for your role. Although you were born as a bartender, you yearn for a more ordinary life in your heart. Naturally, you don't need to be so dramatic in your daily life."

Wu Xiaozu pointed to the little loli who was sitting next to him, and said seriously to Anita Mui: "In the movie, your main identity is not a woman, or anything else, but a mother for your daughter."

In the process of filming, Wu Xiaozu habitually inspires the divergent thinking of actors.Sometimes it is difficult for an actor to grasp the charm of the character when performing the posture and tone of voice.

This requires the director to inspire.

At this time, Wu Xiaozu personally came on stage to give them a play.Zhang Guoying, Anita Mui, and Huang Qiusheng are often called to stop by Wu Xiaozu in this play, and then he will play a part for the three of them, telling the actor what he needs.

Anita Mui is chivalrous in her bones, but if she can't handle it well, many directors are used to treating her like a quack.There are traces of wind and dust on her body, which is the aura accumulated by her singing in bars and nightclubs in her early years.

Wu Xiaozu hopes that she can have a strong and weak side in the role of mother, so that the character can be fleshed out.

As for Zhang Guoying...

Taking a look at his elder brother who was reading math books with his legs resting on a book, nudging his glasses, Wu Xiaozu also sighed.

In the past few days, due to his busy schedule, Qiu Litao was responsible for some irrelevant shots of the crew.Anita Mui, who has no acting, is preparing for the concert, while Zhang Guoying, who is busier than her, just stays honestly in this room of the crew, immersed in the image of Shishen.

This situation has both good and bad.

It's definitely good for acting.But for the energy of the actors themselves, it is definitely a predatory consumption.Wu Xiaozu can only advance slowly, speed up the shooting pace, and then help his brother to play.

At the same time, Wu Xiaozu also hopes to help his brother to sum up a set of his own theoretical basis for acting.Help him to get through the character difficulties.Now Zhang Guoyi has not sunk deeply, and there is no pressure from the outside media or public opinion. I believe it should be possible to prolong his acting career.

"Director Wu—"

Qiu Litao came over, "Brother Cheng brought Ah Zhi's mother over."

"I see. You take everyone through the scene first, and I will shoot this scene after I come back."

Wu Xiaozu reminded Qiu Litao to go through the precautions, and delineated the shot with Pan Hengsheng, then turned around and waved to the little girl sitting on the desk, "Azhi, mom is here—do you want mom?"

"think--"

Zhang Baizhi finally jumped into Wu Xiaozu's arms, very intimate.

Wu Xiaozu was born in 1964, and Zhang Baizhi was born in 1980. There is a 16-year age difference between the two.No one would think too much...not that there are none.

Standing next to Davies Shally at this moment, Fat Cheng with bright lights saw Wu Xiaozu walking down the stairs with Zhang Baijue in his arms, his small eyes were focused and tangled——

As for what is entangled, I am afraid that only the person involved knows.

The fat hand rubbed the crotch habitually, his face showed embarrassment, his eyes rolled, and suddenly they lit up.

……

"Master Qi??"

Wu Xiaozu stared at Fei Cheng coldly.

"Boss, Ah Zhi's father is probably going to live there for a few years. Besides, they are also divorced. If her mother takes care of the child alone, life will be very hard. And the most important thing for a child is mother's love and father's love.

It's rare that you and Ah Zhi hit it off so well, so I asked Lisa for her opinion, and she also agreed to let Ah Zhi recognize you as Master Qi.I think Hu Xuyong will agree..." Fat Cheng looked at the boss with a sincere face, and poked Dai Lisa's waist.

"Mr. Wu, if possible, I very much hope that you can be Ah Zhi's Qiye." Dai Lisha is not stupid, Wu Xiaozu is definitely a big shot to her, she can find such a support for her daughter, why not for?
Therefore, when Fei Cheng intentionally or unintentionally asked her daughter to recognize Wu Xiaozu as her father, she agreed without even thinking about it.

"Ah Ju—you can call him Lord Qi soon." Fei Cheng's extremely enthusiastic Zhang Luo pretended not to see the big brother Wu Xiaozu's gaze for the first time.

"..."

Wu Xiaozu looked at Zhang Baizhi who was looking at him with big eyes, and reached out to stroke her ponytails.

I feel a little ashamed.But, does this count as admitting a thief as a father?
"Are you willing to recognize me as Lord Qi?" Wu Xiaozu asked.

"Godfather."

Zhang Baizhi nodded obediently, and his voice was very sweet and crisp, without the voice of a descendant male duck.This should be avoided if maintained properly.

Seeing Fei Cheng's smiling face, Wu Xiaozu sneered coldly, "Since Ah Zhi recognizes me as Qiye, then I, Qiye, should pay for her to go to Australia. Mrs. Dai has always wanted to take her to Australia. Do you want a child to go to Australia? I happen to have acquaintances in Melbourne who can help you settle down."

The fat little boy came to an abrupt end——

"Do you have an opinion?" Wu Xiaozu looked straight at him.

"Of course not!" Fei Cheng forced a stiff smile.

"Well, it's better to hit the day than to choose the day, and arrange for them to go abroad as soon as possible." Wu Xiaozu couldn't see what Fei Cheng was thinking.However, the matter of Hu Xuyong is absurd. If there is a change, Wu Xiaozu needs to have a handle that can make Hu Xuyong cast a trap.

Can the wife not care, but the son and the daughter not care?

When they were sent to Australia, Hu Xuyong dared not say anything.I am afraid that I will sleep with one eye open, for fear that talking nonsense in my sleep will cause an accident.

Hong Kong Island Wu Xiaozu is not easy to do it, Australia - just tens of thousands of dollars can make their family tidy.Foreigners don't care about whether your Hong Kong Islander is murdered for money or not in a car accident.

"Okay..." Fei Cheng replied listlessly, always feeling that the Tao is one foot taller than the devil.

"Godfather, will you visit me in Australia?" Zhang Baizhi asked reluctantly.

I want to see your mother - this is Fei Cheng's innermost thoughts.

"Don't worry, study hard over there. When you are older, if you are willing to come back to study, your godfather will pick you up. Besides, you can come back to see your godfather when you are on vacation." Wu Xiaozu smiled and touched Zhang Bai juice head.

Being a godfather at the age of 24 is a sign of maturity, right?
