Chapter 740 Teaching Zhou Xingchi to Act (4000+ chapters, please subscribe)

"This is a man-made utopian world. In this movie, we need to convey to the audience a world where everyone is acting and Chu Xing is the real world!"

Before the crew of "The World of Chu Xing" started, Wu Jianye emphasized the filming situation of the film to the crew for the last time!

"The World of Chu Xing" is different from other movies. This movie is like a Russian nesting doll, with one layer within another.

Chu Xing is the core layer, only he is real!
is the center of the world, the protagonist of the show,

The other actors in the play are the penultimate layer, they are cooperating with the filming of this TV show, they understand all this!
And those extras are the third-to-last layer. In the movie setting, these people are tourists, and they are also one of the company's sources of income.

The audience outside the TV was the fourth floor from the bottom. Chu Xing's daily life was their daily life, and what Chu Xing did was what they wanted to do in their minds.

The outermost layer is actually the director who grasps the truth. He created this extraterrestrial town and created Chu Xing. He arranges all the people in the show. Even the audience is controlled by him through the language of the lens!
It can be said that in the whole movie, the director of the show is like a god who controls the whole town!
Now Zhou Xingchi and others already know the plot of the whole movie. For them, everyone is shocked that Wu Jianye thought of such a movie story.

In private, some people are even asking, what would it be like to live in such a world?
"Chu Xing's World" was launched without gongs and drums. In Wu Jianye's speech, even if "Chu Xing's World" was launched, the entire crew except Zhou Xingchi, the other front and backstage were domestic, and there was no Feel something.

Zhou Xingchi did as the Romans did, and didn't mention anything.

Originally, "Popular Cinema" contacted Tangting Culture and wanted to send someone over to follow the filming, just like when filming "New Dragon Inn", but this time Wu Jianye did not agree.

When filming "New Dragon Inn", Wu Jianye still needed the help of magazines such as "Popular Film" to promote it, but now, it is no longer needed.

It's not that the movie "The World of Chu Xing" is unnecessary, but at this stage, there is no need to spread the story of this movie.

As Wu Jianye decided before, this movie will still adopt the same confidentiality measures as "Jurassic Park".

The shooting community, after a month of reconstruction, has met Wu Jianye's film requirements.

Because overseas audiences have to be taken care of, the layout here is better than that in China.

"The environment here is really good. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Coupled with the weather, it must be a good place to celebrate the New Year during the Chinese New Year!"

Zhao Fei smiled and said to Wu Jianye, everyone is adjusting the equipment now, and the actors are getting familiar with the plot, and it won't be long before the official start of filming!
Wu Jianye chuckled, "If you like this place, come over in a few years and just buy a house here!"

Qiong Province is indeed a suitable place for vacation, otherwise, many local tyrants would not choose to celebrate the New Year here in the future.

Zhao Fei was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Didn't you say that the house price here will be lower?"

Wu Jianye nodded and said: "The bubble will definitely burst, and the housing prices here will drop by then. Now the housing prices here are almost 95, and there is no problem rising to [-], but when the bubble bursts In fact, it is time to buy the bottom, but the timing of the bottom is not easy to control. If you have some spare money, you can buy a few houses here. Of course, don’t think about it before [-]. Already!"

In fact, the housing price in Qiong Province once rose to 93 yuan per square meter in 7500, and the wages of workers at this time had only just risen to about 300 yuan!
The two of them just chatted casually. The people in front of and behind the scenes of the movie are almost ready!
The scene manager took the clapper and shouted: "The first shot of the first scene of "The World of Chu Xing" has started!"

The movie first filmed Chu Xing's daily life.

Wu Jianye sat in front of the camera, looking at Zhou Xingchi in the camera, wearing pajamas, speaking his lines to the camera.

But after seeing Zhou Xingchi's performance, Wu Jianye frowned slightly.

It's not that Zhou Xingchi's performance is not focused enough, on the contrary, Wu Jianye can feel that Zhou Xingchi's performance at this time is very serious.

Zhou Xingchi's achievements in movies are too great, but his acting skills are easily overlooked by others. In fact, Zhou Xingchi's acting skills are not the slightest problem, and they are very advanced.

It's just that comedy-style movies are always not favored by academics
Zhou Xingchi is like this, and so is Jim Carrey.

"Crack!"

Wu Jianye stopped Zhou Xingchi's performance, and slowly came to Zhou Xingchi who was a little confused.

Regarding the performance just now, Zhou Xingchi thought that there was nothing wrong with him. He entered Chu Xing's world the moment he shouted to turn it on. To him, Chu Xing was him!
I don't understand why Wu Jianye stopped his performance!

"Xingzi, your style needs to be restrained. I know your nonsensical style in Xiangjiang. This movie is different from any of your previous movies. I need you to maintain your own style, but you Your style needs to serve the style of the whole movie, that is to say, your personal style can no longer be as strong as the other movies you shot before!"

Wu Jianye preached to Zhou Xingchi.

For Zhou Xingchi, Wu Jianye didn't need to analyze with him how to act in a certain scene, but let him understand the style of the whole movie, and help him design the shooting style of the whole movie at the same time!
Among Chinese actors, there are two special ones.

Their movies, no matter how the story of the movie changes or how the characters in the movie change, as long as the audience sees the movie, they will know that it is their movie, which cannot be replaced by others.

This is Cheng Long and Zhou Xingchi!
Cheng Long's movies are action comedies. Although in the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, Cheng Long was trying to change his way of acting because of his age, but his previous image was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Every transformation, For Cheng Long, it was actually a process of failure.

That's why Cheng Long often said that this is his last action movie!

In fact, Zhou Xingchi also had a similar problem. When he decided not to appear on the screen in the later stage, when he was just a director with peace of mind, in the movies he directed, everyone can be said to be the incarnation of Zhou Xingchi.

It's just that there is only one Zhou Xingchi, and no one can replace him, so the reputation of his movies is not as good as one, but do you think those movies are really bad?

In fact, it is not the case, there is only one reason for the bad reputation, and that is that the actor is not Zhou Xingchi!

What Wu Jianye has to do now is to let Zhou Xingchi restrain his personal style, which is actually a very painful process for Zhou Xingchi.

At this time in Xiangjiang, Zhou Xingchi had already achieved great success, and his personal style had also been formed. It was obviously difficult for him to change his style suddenly.

However, Zhou Xingchi did not refute Wu Jianye's suggestion, but nodded seriously, and said, "Okay, Director Wu, I understand!"

Zhou Xingchi is an actor who likes to accept other people's opinions. Of course, the person who puts forward the opinion must be someone approved by Zhou Xingchi.

In the later stage, why many actors who worked with Zhou Xingchi said that Zhou Xingchi was difficult to cooperate with and could not listen to opinions. It was because at that time, Zhou Xingchi already knew the difference between himself and these people.

A person who regards filmmaking as an art, and a person who regards filmmaking as a means of making a living, how could Zhou Xingchi listen to the opinions of those who only regard it as a means of making a living?
Wu Jianye said: "The restrained style here is not to let you completely abandon your previous style, but to lower your acting style to a certain extent. This degree needs to be controlled by you, but if you can't meet my requirements , I can scold people!"

The more capable a person is, the higher Wu Jianye's demands on him will be. Only in this way can their potential be better stimulated. Zhou Xingchi's potential has obviously not been fully stimulated.

There was no dissatisfaction on Zhou Xingchi's face because of Wu Jianye's words. Everyone knew the style of Wu Jianye's films, whether they were domestic or foreign.

For Wu Jianye, Zhou Xingchi admired him in his heart.

Since his debut, Wu Jianye cannot be called a high-yield director. There are only five films, but all five films are high-quality films. From early literary films to later Hollywood blockbusters, they can always bring something different to the audience. feelings.

This is why Zhou Xingchi admires him!
Then Wu Jianye walked back to his place and continued to start shooting!
After Zhou Xingchi listened to Wu Jianye's opinion, he obviously restrained his personal style, but in Wu Jianye's opinion, it was still not enough.

So the first day of the film's launch was spent in the process of countless calls to stop.

Many people who were working with Wu Jianye for the first time also felt the severity of Wu Jianye's film shooting.

In fact, in the eyes of many people at the scene, Zhou Xingchi's filming in the later stages of today is already very good, without the exaggeration that they are not used to, but Wu Jianye still thinks it is not enough.

Sometimes, Zhou Xingchi's performance even restrained his own style too much, which would also not satisfy Wu Jianye.

As the assistant director of the film, Wang Xiaoshuai watched Wu Jianye earnestly directing beside Wu Jianye, which was also a learning process for him.

In fact, Wang Xiaoshuai's ability is enough to direct a movie by himself, but when Wu Jianye found him, Wang Xiaoshuai chose to join the movie "The World of Chu Xing" without hesitation.

For a new director who has just debuted and has not directed a film independently, it is definitely a rare opportunity to learn from Wu Jianye's side.

In the movie "The World of Chu Xing", there is actually not only the assistant director Wang Xiaoshuai, but also two other assistant directors, both of whom are outstanding young talents discovered by Tangting Culture.

It can be said that Wu Jianye is not only cultivating excellent actors for Huaxia who can be known by more people, but also cultivating more directors!

Because of the appearance of Wu Jianye, the current domestic film environment has undergone great changes.

Many people who Wu Jianye had never heard of had already invested in the film industry.

At night, Wu Jianye was in his room, studying with Wang Xiaoshuai, Zhao Fei and others about the next filming process of "The World of Chu Xing".

This is actually the case with movie shooting. When there is no shooting task, whether it is an actor or a director, they actually have plenty of time, but once they enter the shooting process, their workload increases geometrically.

"After today's filming, Zhou Xingchi has slowly started to get familiar with the style of the movie. What we have to do now is to let other actors get familiar with Zhou Xingchi's style, and at the same time let them maintain their own state!"

Zhao Fei suggested.

Zhao Fei, as a cinematographer, can be said to be the person closest to the behind-the-scenes performance of actors. A successful cinematographer not only controls the lens of the film, he can also provide more opinions for the film.

At this time, Zhao Fei has already matured. For example, in this movie, Zhao Fei is not the only photographer, but there are several other photographers. According to domestic rules, these people are actually Zhao Fei’s. Apprentice.

At this time, Zhao Fei also had his own photography team!
His opinion is still very pertinent!
Wu Jianye nodded, then looked at Wang Xiaoshuai again, and asked, "Xiaoshuai, what about you?"

Wang Xiaoshuai was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that Wu Jianye was consciously cultivating himself, and quickly said: "I still feel that Zhou Xingchi's performance is a bit exaggerated, although he has consciously lowered his personal personality in the filming later today. style, but many times it will be revealed subconsciously in some small places!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "What this movie needs to do is not to completely abandon Zhou Xingchi's personal style. If that's the case, I won't ask Zhou Xingchi to star in this movie. A director can have his own pursuit. , but also for the audience and investors.”

Speaking of this, Wu Jianye looked at Wang Xiaoshuo and continued: "I hope that when you direct a movie in the future, when you pursue your personal style, you must also consider the audience and investors. Film directors can have their own Pursue, but the premise must be to satisfy the audience with your content!"

Wang Xiaoshuai frowned slightly and said, "But if this is the case, isn't it a compromise?"

Wu Jianye chuckled, and said, "Movies are not a kind of self-indulgent art. If you only pursue the so-called art in your heart, and no one will watch the movies you make, then who will invest in you later? Who will invest in you?" Are you going to see your movie?"
