My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 687 Seminar experience life and a sensation in the circle!
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a subscription!
"Thank you!"

"I should thank you."

Takakura Ken is wearing a gray twill cap, with straight nose wings, cheekbones and nasolabial folds are raised on his bronzed face, his cheeks are slightly narrow, and he smiles calmly and modestly.

Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a tall figure are rare tough and handsome men among Dongying actors, which fits the standard of "Showa men".

The masculine symbol among Japanese people!
Maybe because of the nightly review of the film these days, the whole person is a little tired.

Sakai Quanshui next to him lowered his head and took the teacup with both hands, expressing Hayi—and then translated for both parties.

In contrast, Cui Minzhi seemed to lack aura.In itself, he is a Goryeo actor discovered by Wu Xiaozu, and because of his role as the "old stick" in "God of Gamblers", he is very popular in Goryeo.

At this time, there are not many Korean actors who can go abroad to act in movies, let alone play roles in popular Hong Kong movies!What's more, Wu Xiaozu himself was very popular in Korea.

In this era, the biggest cultural dumping trend in Asia is Hong Kong Stream!
They are able to act in Hong Kong films and Chinese films at this time. For them, it is a godsend opportunity.

Yan Zhenghua whispered in Korean with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes.She and Izumi Sakai temporarily acted as the translators of "Se7en", helping Takakura Ken and Cui Minzhi to communicate with Wu Xiaozu smoothly.

Both Gao Cangjian and Cui Minzhi have good English skills.But, you can't expect Wu Xiaozu to understand the spoken English of Dongying and Korea all at once, right?

That was too difficult for Director Wu!

Lychee charcoal is placed on the wooden table, and above it is an improved version of the stove. White tea is boiled, and the dense water mist disperses, giving off a faint fragrance.

The quiet and melancholy Liang Chaowei stood up and took the kettle, silently helping others to pour tea.

"Thank you."

Jiang Ershao raised the corner of his mouth, and smiled at the other party with his hand on the teacup. His eyes were fixed on the other party's body, and his eyes followed him to observe—grandma is a bear, so strange!

It's not that he hasn't come into contact with Liang Chaowei before, and of course he knows the character of the other party, at least he must understand the character shown!

Although, the other party's personality is indeed a little withdrawn, but he is usually sunny and friendly, with a sweet mouth, otherwise he would not be promoted to the "Wireless Five Tigers"!

In 1987, "Dragon and Phoenix Celebrate Taiqing", Liu Dehua practiced breaking big stones in his chest. He was also a member of the Five Tigers and performed a commercial car that was about the same size as the Jinbei later... There were nine adults in the car~
Who knows why TVB likes to let entertainers perform acrobatics!

Before, Fa Ge stepped on an egg and threw a dart, and Zhang Manyu hung a flying ring...

Principal Tan was the worst. Four motorcycles used ropes to pull his arms from both sides, in order to show his strength... I knew it was acrobatics, but I didn't know that I thought it was divided into five horses!
It's still a mystery! !
Quentin, that ruffian bitch, always thought that all of us Chinese knew kung fu when he was hiring martial arts instructors from Hong Kong Island!

What, you deny?

Don't lie to me!

Smart as me!

Your stars have been exposed!

However, Liang Chaowei, who used to work hard on the car, used to be "brave you, stand there with a thin but proud face..."

But all of a sudden, with you like this, your eyes are melancholy and silent!
This sudden change made Jiang Zhiqiang very astonished. He didn't know how Wang Jiawei trained the actor... After the performance of "Days of Being Wild", his personality changed!
Could it be that this is finding the real me? ?
"Merci (thank you)! Oh~Thank you!"

Adjani, who was wearing a black suit and tulle skirt, was maverick and tasteful, turning the teacup with her slender fingers, and staring at Wu Xiaozu closely with pure blue eyes.

Neurotic and beautiful, crazy and vulnerable!

In addition, Zhang Yimou, Du Kefeng, and Bao Xi, three artists and photographers, were also sitting on the side, and next to them were You Naihai, Mai Zhaohui, Ye Weimin, Luo Zhiyu, and Zou Lin.

The group in front of me is the current main creative group of the "Se7en" script seminar.

"I'll just do it myself! Wei Zi..." Bao Xi smiled, motioned for the other party to sit down, and listened carefully to Wu Xiaozu's request.

"The core of the story of "Se7en" and the general script, I had it in 1982. It can be said that I have conceived this script for nearly 7 years!"

Wu Xiaozu stood in the middle, performing seriously.People around are listening carefully.Yan Zhenghua and Sakai Quanshui also quickly translated Wu Xiaozu's words to Cui Minzhi and Takakura Ken.

Jiang Zhiqiang helped Adjani translate.

"I was imprisoned in 1982. At that time, I was very confused. The prison guards let us attend the Gospel Church. The pastor came to teach us every day... At that time, there were all kinds of prisoners around me.

Everyone has a variety of crimes!At that time I came into contact with Dante's Seven Sins!

Know how I feel?

Hell is empty, and demons are in the world! "

As soon as the words came out, everyone couldn't help showing UC's shocked expression. Ken Takakura stared at Xiaozu Wu seriously, and Ajani showed interest in his eyes.

"So I want to shoot a movie with this theme. This movie will probably take more than 3 months to shoot. Therefore, I also hope that everyone can have a good shooting state. Especially when shooting, it can be in line with my heart. The state of the character.

Before you are your character scripts and job scripts.I hope Mr. Takakura Ken, you can gain at least ten catties in about a month!
Looking at Takakura Ken and Sakai Izumi with firm eyes, "Mr. Takakura Ken's appearance is too tough. I hope you have that sense of fatigue, middle age and life. It's too dramatic now..."

"I'm sorry, let me interrupt, Wu Jun, can you describe the exhaustion, middle-aged feeling and fireworks that you mentioned. I... don't understand it very well." (It's just a translation!)
Takakura Ken looked straight at Wu Xiaozu.

Director Wu put his hand on his lips, pondered for a moment, "Wait a moment!", waved to Mai Zhaohui, muttered twice in his ear, the other party nodded, opened the door and walked out.

The room was quiet, everyone didn't speak, they all stared at Wu Xiaozu curiously, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd!

"Wu Sheng, what's the matter?" The driver Li Shuzhi opened the door and walked in.

"Brother Zhi, I may be very busy here today, you go back first." Wu Xiaozu said with a smile, and then turned to look at Takakura Ken.

The other party is so handsome and tough!
In fact, it does not fit the image of an old police detective who is about to retire in Wu Xiaozu's mind.

What he wants is the image of a middle-aged man who has been sculpted by vicissitudes and years, has seen, passed through countless darkness, and stared at the abyss.

Takakura Ken has this flavor in "The Yellow Handkerchief of Happiness", but it is still too weak.It's appropriate in that kind of drama, but it's too weak in my own drama!

Gao Cangjian looked at the driver, feeling a little bit.

Take a pen and scribble on the character script...

"How about I wait for you at the company?"

"No, let's go home early today." Wu Xiaozu smiled and waved his hand, and the other party turned and left.

"I understand roughly." Takakura Ken nodded.

Personally, he has a strong sense of drama and a slightly thinner sense of life.Fortunately, "Se7en" needs this sense of drama.It just needs to add a little bit of vicissitudes of experience of the characters.

This is also the reason why he chose and chose, but did not start with Hong Kong Island actors.

Hong Kong Island actors are too exaggerated, and I really can't think of anyone to play a contradictory character like the old police detective who shuttles back and forth between justice and darkness.

Maybe Qiuguan who is a few years older should be able to do it, but now he is too "sweet" to be suitable.

in contrast.

After the death of his ex-wife, Gao Cangjian, who is now more lonely, silent and strong in his bones, is more suitable for this role.

"You need to gain muscle, get a little stronger! Then grow a little beard. During this time, I will arrange for you to go to the boxing gym to practice boxing!" Wu Xiaozu said to Cui Minzhi.

"Okay! Director Wu!" Cui Minzhi replied respectfully.

"You need to get a little bloated and push your hair out! Gain weight! Gain weight! Let the flesh loose...make the skin paler...I'll give you a character script that you can play according to your Try to study his character! At the same time——I will recommend you a few books, and you need to read them! Your eyes remain as flat, sad and innocent as they are now!"

Wu Xiaozu looked at Liang Chaowei with a serious expression.

Wu Xiaozu was also very worried before this role was handed over to the other party.After all, the other party is slightly younger in age.

However, after Ms. Liu's accident and after filming "Days of Being Wild", Wu Xiaozu was very happy with his state.

Wang Jiawei washed away the luster on his body!

Some directors tend to wrap the actors layer by layer, while Wang Jiawei peels off the actors layer by layer.

At this time, ordinary actors are like onions, and there may be nothing in the end!

So, you see, Wang Jiawei rarely invites ordinary actors.

However, talented actors shed those routines and show their true talents and selves!

Wu Xiaozu saw it in him at this moment!

No oil!

The true!

This is the image of the "villain" in his mind!

The upright is suffering, the villain is true!
This is the setting in his play!

Of course, in order to cater to the role, Liang Chaowei may have a strong process of gaining weight!
This is also a torment for actors!

It is still the kind of fattening with loose skin, which is also a huge harm to the body!

But that's the way actors have to go!

For the role!

These efforts are a necessary process!This kind of hard work is the job of an actor!
Don't use this kind of effort to justify things!How can I work hard!That's what you should be as an actor!This kind of effort is made hard behind!

The audience spends money to go to the cinema to see the effect of the movie, not to see how hard you work!

No one will think that the boss pays you because of your hard work, right?For any job, what you look at is the result, right?You're working hard, but it's nothing... and it's useless!

The audience is the customer of the movie!
"The script is not very complete, can you give me the script of the whole movie?" Takakura Ken said.

"I'm sorry! I won't distribute the script of this movie to everyone! I just need everyone to take care of themselves!" Wu Xiaozu directly refused.

Apart from him, only Liang Chaowei can watch the complete version of the script of "Se7en".

This is also his means to better present the effect!
The effect of knowing and not knowing is completely different, no matter how you cover it up, it will be different.

"I need you to maintain this sense of exploration and the unknown!" Wu Xiaozu explained again!
Takakura Ken nodded slightly.

He could understand Wu Xiaozu's thoughts.

This involves a question: Is film an art of directing or an art of performance?No doubt!Cinema is of course the art of directing!You typed this answer into the silent film era, and he still answered this way!

The form of performing arts works is drama, drama, and opera, and drama and stage art are the art of performing by actors!

Because the movie has shots, edits, and scenes, no matter how good the emotional performance of the actors is, if I give you a big perspective or cut it off, you still can’t see it!
Conversely, even if the actors don't deal with their own expressions, the appearance of montage may still make the audience feel subjective emotions.

This is the famous Kuleshov experiment!

Takeshi Kitano, a famous figure with facial paralysis, is a typical example here!So... Facial paralysis is not terrible, the terrible thing is that you can't even do facial paralysis well!
In the form of movies, in fact, as long as the director pays enough attention to shooting... even ordinary people who have not received acting training can still give moving performance effects!

The director is hard enough, his ability determines the lower limit of the actor's performance!At the same time, a good director can develop the performance ceiling of some actors!
"Other characters...?" Jiang Zhiqiang asked.

"Well, according to our requirements and character setting, we will audition and select some roles. Of course, you can also send offers to some actors you think are suitable!" Wu Xiaozu thought for a while and said directly.

"This matter doesn't concern the company's people?"

"Priority, but for the sake of movie effects, fair selection! Meeting the requirements is the first standard!"

"This incident will shock the whole circle... I have never done this before! This action is very Hollywood..." Jiang Zhiqiang made a joke, Wu Xiaozu shrugged, noncommittal!
There are a lot of investors in this movie, although Wu Xiaozu has a lot of promises, but he still wants to give others some benefits, right?Although Wu Xiaozu would definitely not be admitted if he really didn't meet the requirements, but opportunities must always be given to others!

"Can I do it too?" Yan Zhenghua asked anxiously.

"Of course, but you still have to go through an interview!" Wu Xiaozu said with a smile.

"YES! I will definitely work hard!"

Yan Zhenghua clenched her fists, she really wanted to develop into acting.It seems that in Asia, actors have a higher status than pure singers!

This era is not yet obvious, and after a few years, when piracy begins, it will become more and more obvious.

You are also cheered less!
Sister Quanshui glanced at Yan Zhenghua, and smiled lightly... There was a kind of wisdom that was clear in her chest.

She herself is not very interested in performance filming, far less interested in Wu Xiaozu than she is!
It may be because of her background in sexy photo shoots and swimsuit calendars in the past few years, she doesn't like the feeling of the camera facing her more and more!
As Jiang Zhiqiang said.

When the news of Wu Xiaozu's public audition for actors spread, it caused a lot of waves in an instant!
The whole circle was shaken!

Many N-line stars are gearing up, for them, this is undoubtedly an opportunity to change their destiny!

Even many second- and third-tier stars are eager to try!

In just two days, the company received hundreds of self-recommendation letters, and there were even photos of people dressed in cooler clothes.

Many people in the company have received many favor calls!

The role of Wu Xiaozu's new play!
Who is not interested? ? ?
