Actors have no vacation

Chapter 47 Default [Two in One]

"Police Story" is a top-level project, and its behind-the-scenes teams are all top-notch in the industry.

In particular, the martial arts instruction team has won more than a dozen Golden Bull Awards for the [Best Action Design], and it is also quite famous internationally. From their apprentices, they spread branches and leaves in many countries.If it wasn't for Zhang Jingsheng's friendship, otherwise, he might not be able to move the other party.

After the winter solstice, some areas in the north began to snow, and the water surface began to freeze.

The crew has sufficient funds and not bad money, and the action training venue is located in Qiong Province with a suitable climate, so there is no need to worry about the cold weather reducing the training efficiency.There are not many actors with action scenes, two decent, two villains, a total of four people, so it didn't cost much.

Director Chen also followed Qiong Province and usually stayed in a hotel.During the day, I discuss the action design with the martial arts instructor, and at night, I discuss with the main creator how to shoot the best action scenes.

"Master Yuan, come and take a look at this." Director Chen opened a video on the computer and asked the martial artist around him to watch it.

Master Yuan looked over and found that the video scene was in a carpeted room, looking at the decoration, very much like a hotel.

"The warehouse scene. Originally, Zhang Jiaju only needs to compete with Wu Ze, and the competition is with Wu Ze's accomplices, but after reading this, our screenwriter said to see if we could let Wu Ze and Zhang Jiaju compete with guns and martial arts. Defeating Zhang Jiaju, Zhang Jiaju will be even more frustrated." Director Chen said, and clicked the play button of the video.

The video is an audition clip.

Zhang Jingsheng played a warehouse scene with a man wearing half a red mask.

The video skips the previous part and goes directly to the part where the two people shoot.

Zhang Jingsheng's gun-holding posture is very standard and well practiced, which is not surprising.To Master Yuan's surprise, the red mask's gun-holding posture was not bad.

In a way, even better.

Draw the gun, aim, hold the gun with the right hand, hold the gun with the left hand, three points and one line, three points with the right hand, and seven points with the left hand.The whole person showed a state of being loose and tight.

Although Red Mask was holding a mineral water bottle in his hand, he pulled the trigger at the moment when the "muzzle" stopped.

What's more amazing is that after "shooting", even the "muzzle" raised by the recoil and the body's reaction were simulated.

This is someone who has played with real guns and is familiar with it.Master Yuan made a judgment in an instant.

"Who is this?" Master Yuan thought that was what Director Chen had asked him to see.

But the video isn't over yet.Director Chen said, "Let's see."

Inside, Zhang Jingsheng knelt on the ground with a gray face, and the red mask looked down at him. First, he took a deep breath of excitement, trembling as if he had eaten powder, and then the restless excitement in his eyes slowly dissipated, finally empty. Glancing at Zhang Jingsheng, he was ready to leave.

But at this moment, Zhang Jingsheng suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the red mask.

Just like the appointment, the red mask instantly shortened, grabbed Zhang Jingsheng's arm, and fell over the shoulder.The carpeted floor gave a dull "bang".

After the red mask fell to Zhang Jingsheng, he still did not let go and started other actions.

Master Yuan suddenly narrowed his eyes.

After watching the red mask and Zhang Jingsheng's cross fixation, Master Yuan seemed to have finished tasting a spicy dish and kept breathing in the air.

Director Chen watched the video, but his heart drifted to where he didn't know.

In making a movie, there has never been a role that is right or wrong with an actor, but that kind of compromise can deceive others but cannot deceive yourself.People who are engaged in art are always convinced of that mysterious feeling.

He often thinks of Guan Chen, the madness of Guan Chen wearing a mask, and the calmness behind the madness.Sometimes I get tired from thinking about the movie and fall asleep without realizing it. In my dream, Wu Ze kidnaps their group with a gun, takes off the mask, and shows Guan Chen's face.After waking up, Director Chen often feels lost, like a brokenhearted love.

The screenwriters were even more ruthless. When they encountered a bottleneck in modifying the script, they turned out this audition to find out how he would act and what tone would he use if it was Guan Chen. In this way, Wu Ze seemed to be alive. , inspiration gushed out like a spring.

"Who is this? Why doesn't Wu Ze use this person?" Master Yuan asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "It's not because he has a criminal record, did he finally enter?"

Director Chen let out a long sigh, as if in memory of the person who volleyed away, "Don't worry about that," he waved his hand, pointed to the video and asked, "Can this fight be used in the movie?"

"It's difficult." Master Yuan shook his head without thinking.

"Why?" Director Chen was a little surprised.He has checked the information, and the cross is not a particularly difficult movement.Difficult to achieve in the ring, but not easy in the movie?
"Is the style wrong?" Director Chen asked.

Master Yuan thought for a while and said, "The real difficulty in this movement is not these techniques, but this person."

Director Chen didn't understand.

Master Yuan crossed the mouse and pulled it to the beginning of the cross.

Zhang Jingsheng rushed over, the red mask was short, fell over his shoulders, grabbed Zhang Jingsheng's arm and was about to fall to the ground...

"Crack." Master Yuan paused. "look here."

He pointed to the screen, and more specifically, to the slightly bent legs of the red mask.

Director Chen looked at it carefully, read it twice, but didn't understand it.

Master Yuan had to explain, saying that the red mask grabbed Zhang Jingsheng's arm and collar, and his turn was not as simple as throwing over the shoulder, "He has a squatting motion here." The red mask turned around and squatted in the direction of Between Zhang Jingsheng's double spans.Hip drilling is a form of humiliation for the Han Chinese, but Red Mask obviously doesn't care. "He originally wanted to use the kneeling back throw." Master Yuan said that this move was very dangerous. Using his own weight, he would throw the opponent's upper body straight on the ground like a javelin, which could break his neck and cause him to become paralyzed.If the red mask used this trick, with Zhang Jingsheng's rushing energy, the injury would be minor, and there was a high probability that his neck would be broken.In particular, the red mask restricted Zhang Jingsheng's one hand. Even if the latter reacted, holding the ground with one hand would not help.

Fortunately, the red mask changed in the middle of the move. I didn't want to hurt anyone. The legs that were about to squat stood up again, but Zhang Jingsheng was thrown over the shoulder.

Director Chen blinked, stunned.Can't believe how dangerous it is...

Master Yuan said, "This is just the first one."

"The first one?" Director Chen was stunned, "There's more?"

Master Yuan did not speak and continued to play.

In just one second, Master Yuan paused.

In the picture, after the red mask knocked Zhang Jingsheng down, his hands seemed to be stroking a wicker stick, slipped down from his arms, and grabbed Zhang Jingsheng's hand.

"Look at his hand here." The red mask pinched Zhang Jingsheng's wrist with his left hand, while the other hand quietly climbed up on Zhang Jingsheng's finger, "Here, there was a fold movement, but it stopped in the end. Fold." Master Yuan tapped the screen.

Director Chen blinked, not noticing such a detail.

"This is the second one, there's more to come." Master Yuan continued to play.

The red mask grabbed Zhang Jingsheng's arm and lay down on the ground.The cross solid needs to use the legs to fix the arms of the enemy in its arms, use the abdomen as the fulcrum, and use the principle of leverage to destroy.The movements of the red mask are very fluent, and before Zhang Jingsheng can relax, the cross is about to be completed.

"Click." Pause again.

Master Yuan pointed to the legs of the red mask, and said that when the red mask stretched out its feet, there was a rather subtle momentum of kicking towards Zhang Jingsheng's throat, but he stopped and didn't kick.

"This is the third one."

Director Chen was stunned.

The fourth is that after the red mask completed the cross fixation, it did not completely relax.His calf, which was close to Zhang Jingsheng's mouth, was tight, and his eyes were staring at Zhang Jingsheng's mouth coldly, as if Zhang Jingsheng planned to bite and escape, he would immediately break Zhang Jingsheng's arm.

Ordinary people are punching in the ring, how can they prevent such an obvious foul cracking method.

The red mask seems to have completed a cross solid simply and neatly. After careful analysis, there are four dangers unknowingly.

Master Yuan judged that this person was too black to attack, and he was not a trainer from the ring at all.

"With this skill and eyes, I believe that he is the prototype of Wu Ze." Master Yuan asked with a smile, "Where did you find this person?"

Director Chen held his head, heartbroken and speechless.

Master Yuan probably guessed something, shook his head, and answered Director Chen's original question: "Huang Lun has no basic skills, and his physical condition is not particularly good. To develop this feeling, ten days is definitely not enough. It can make him familiar with each movement, and finally shoot them separately, and then cut them together in the later stage. It’s just that it will be broken in the end, and there is no such smooth flow in the video.”

With good editing, ordinary people can become master fighters.But in action movies, it's just a tricky way to goof off.

"The editing is too broken, it will affect the fighting style of other parts." Director Chen shook his head and had to give up letting Huang Lun imitate Guan Chen's [playing style].

Huang Lun is the actor who has a relationship.

To be honest, the level is average.

But Director Chen still has professionalism. Even if he likes Guan Chen again, he will not turn the regret for Guan Chen for not being able to be turned into dissatisfaction with Huang Lun.

Just like playing cards, the cards that you actually hold in your hand are the most important.If you only care about why you don't have a certain card, you will never win.

Moreover, Huang Lun knew that he was in a relationship, and he was very well-behaved.They also get along well with Zhang Jingsheng.

I can only remember Guan Chen first, and I will have the opportunity to cooperate with him in the future.

Director Chen turned off the computer, called the main creator, and started a new day of discussions.

……

……

"Ah!" Guan Chen sneezed.

It has been sunny for a few days in a row, but the temperature has plummeted.

Xie Jinzhu hurriedly brought a padded jacket from the car and put it on Guan Chen.

In addition to Guan Chen being his junior and junior brother, Guan Chen is still a core member of the Wushu instruction team.

Xie Jinzhu had never seen the fighting style designed by Guan Chen and the others before, but he felt it was a new attempt, and he was very supportive.For Xie Jinzhu, this feeling of fighting together with his fellow apprentices was more than ten years late.Even if the final attempt fails, the process makes sense.

"Who is thinking of me." Guan Chen sniffed and put on Xie Jinzhu's clothes.A set of sportswear used to be enough for all weather, but not anymore.

"It should be Mr. Xing." Xie Jinzhu said, "You don't participate in the year-end drama of your class. He said it's okay, but it's a pity in his heart. He wants to recommend you to those big companies."

"Forget it." Guan Chen shook his head and joined those big companies. Would those people let him, an actor, suddenly go to teach martial arts?Certainly not.Therefore, Guan Chen decided in his heart to stay in his studio - [Xie Jinzhu Studio] and work for himself.

As for the [class-end drama], it is a project of Xing Yan's performance class at the end of each year.

Insiders teach classes, and connections are one of the products.

At the end of each year, Xing Yan will let everyone in the class arrange a play together, and then rent a small theater to perform. There will be an audience that day, and he will also invite some familiar industry insiders to come and watch. The students who performed well are very good. Opportunity to be fancy signing.

Guan Chen has been very busy since he joined the Caijiaban martial arts instruction team, so he said he would not participate.

As a result, the morale of the other students in the class suddenly lifted up.Originally, they were worried that, given Guan Chen's level, the title of male lead would definitely fall on him. When he performed, everyone's attention would be taken away by Guan Chen, and there was no chance for others to sign contracts.

Although Xing Yan was a pity, he couldn't beat Guan Chen, so he had to go with him.

To Guan Chen's surprise, Xiaoxiong said that she might not participate in the class drama anymore.

He thought that the little bear finally recognized his level and gave up his unrealistic fantasy.But Xiaoxiong said that because of the high hourly wage at the end of the year, she took many jobs, so she didn't have time for classes and rehearsal.She also said that she will definitely participate in next year's big drama, and she is still the heroine!
Guan Chen had no choice but to bless the little bear.

Sometimes he thinks, maybe he can train Little Bear to become a martial arts star, anyway, Little Bear is as strong as a bear, and martial arts actors are not so demanding on acting skills.

Since he took over the part-time job of martial arts in "Black Flood Dragon 2", he has initially studied martial arts films.

Guan Chen reflected on his previously designed style of play, and found that the truth is the truth, but it is easy to put the movie into the category of [audience under 15 years old are not allowed to watch alone].The director said that a large part of the idol underworld film "Black Dragon" needs audiences under the age of 15, so those parts that "can reflect the cruelty of the underworld" can only be excluded with regret.

He bought a laptop, and every night after returning home, he looked for a few martial arts movies to watch, and found that the [acting] routine was not difficult. There is a brief stagnation.The action seems to be fierce, but the lethality is generally not enough. Even if he is beaten and bleeds, he can still be alive.

In fact, there are also action movies about [play], sports themes, but they are not particularly good-looking.

Guan Chen did not find an action design similar to Donnie Yen's movies or the "Bourne Bourne" series that takes into account both viewing and authenticity.

So Guan Chen found a lot of fighting games, picked out those wonderful moves, sorted them out, and showed them to Master Cai and his senior brothers the next day.They will screen, pick out the movements that are good-looking and not difficult for ordinary people to practice, and then deform and combine them, replacing them one by one according to the [rhythm] of previous martial arts films.Then Guan Chen relied on the classics in his memory according to his memory.

The [rhythm] of fighting is attack or defense, quick attack or counterattack, delay or avoidance, each round has corresponding changes, which can be said to be a tactical arrangement.

The [rhythm] of a martial arts film, like a drama, focuses on foreshadowing, turning points, and endings.Its opponent is the audience, and its main purpose is to guide the audience to relax and tighten their mood when watching the film.

Guan Chen followed them to design the movements little by little, and then taught them to the actors together. When explaining to them, he was no longer "because the underworld is so, so how is this action?", but said that this action, the body language, can Reflect the character's psychology and character.

Sometimes the ghosts start to talk, and they believe it when they say it.

Guan Chen studied boxing with Master Cai's brothers, while designing movements with them. After such an encounter, Guan Chen felt that when he read the script and created the character, he could analyze it from a higher perspective.

If he were to play Wu Ze in "Police Story" now, he would have a different understanding and design of those crimes in different orders.

It has been almost half a month since the audition for "Police Story".Said to let him wait for the notification, but no notification came.

Although Xie Jinzhu kept saying that there was still hope and hope, but when Huang Jin called and conveyed the director's regret, saying that the role of Wu Ze had already been selected, Xie Jinzhu finally realized the reality and looked very sad.

Qian Liangyi came over with a haggard expression and said that it was a big New Year's Eve, what was he doing. "There are so many customers around, and you are about to experience the happiest day of your life. What's the matter with you crying here. You have to cry and go to the toilet."

Xie Jinzhu put on his sunglasses and staggered to the toilet.

As the New Year is approaching, all walks of life are getting busy.

The sign that the New Year is approaching, in addition to more red, is that prices are rising.

Actors from the Caijiaban Training Center began to ask for leave one after another, and they also knew that this time was a good time to make money.And the crew knew this, and let them go.

Xie Jinzhu's studio in the wedding street also ushered in the peak period of business because the end of the year came.In particular, Manager Qian is very brainy. In addition to weddings, he is also willing to take orders from various companies' annual meetings.So the studio also became busy.

After serving another pair of customers, Qian Liangyi came to ask Xie Jinzhu why he was crying.

Guan Chen briefly explained the matter to him.

"That's really immoral." Qian Liangyi condemned a few words humanitarianly, but he didn't agree.Seeing Guan Chen's calm expression, he asked, "Why aren't you sad? Is this your first audition?"

When Xie Jinzhu was unsuccessful in his first audition, he hid at home and cried like a worm.

"It's not over yet. It's like water, my friend." Guan Chen has watched a lot of action movies recently, and he only learns the essence of boxing. He often thinks about not doing Jeet Kune Do here.

Qian Liangyi poured Guan Chen a glass of water.

Guan Chen said: "The senior brother said that the roles have been determined by default, and as a result, they have made some bullshit auditions, and they are going to be hated by people, so there will definitely be people who will come out to play them."

Qian Liangyi shook his head: "He said it wrong. No one dares to do Zhang Jingsheng's crew."

"No one will engage Zhang Jingsheng, but you can engage that person who is appointed by default."

"It's all related households. It's an internal decision. Can the backstage be tough?" Qian Liangyi laughed, thinking that Guan Chen was as naive as a child in some places.

"If you have a relationship like this, it shouldn't be too easy to dismantle the backstage." Guan Chen yawned and said, "Just let the gold owner feel that the pet he keeps is halfhearted, fancying someone else, and being played by someone else. . Then falling out of favor is a high probability event."

Qian Liangyi gradually stopped laughing, and was silent for a long time: "...You want me to spread rumors?"

"It's not your turn." Guan Chen waved his hands lazily, "There will be others."

Qian Liangyi asked who it was.

Guan Chen didn't say anything.

But what came to mind was the agent surnamed Liu I met in the toilet that day.

……

……

Magic City, [Aidu Entertainment], underground parking lot.

"...Wait until they join the group, take some photos of Huang Lun and the heroine and the supporting actress, buy hot searches, say they are in love, behave intimately, etc... This kind of press release will only feel that the crew bought it for hype. When the little milk dog falls out of favor, things will be simple... Then let's break out Huang Lun's struggle history and put pressure on the crew. You can follow up with the producer in time, and you can almost replace it... Don't talk about it. , I'm going to pick up my daughter."
