The best director ever

Chapter 495 Tyrant
In mid-October, "The King of Comedy" was officially launched in Xiangjiang.

In the crew, apart from a few leading actors, the other small supporting roles were all recruited from the Hong Kong Actors Association, and there were even some people who had been upgraded from extras to small actors.

Zhou Xingchi entrusted Han Qiu with the task of selecting supporting roles, and Han Qiu came up with such a lineup.

It's nothing special, Han Qiu thinks it's more down-to-earth.

They are all people in the market, they are all struggling for life, and they are numb for life.
On this day, in a studio of Huanyu, the crew was shooting, and Liang Chaowei's only cameo scene was here.

At that time, Lin Xiaoming heard that Han Qiu wanted to borrow the studio, so he agreed without saying a word.Moreover, he also helped Han Qiuli solve many trivial matters inside and out.Including props, group performances and the like.

At this moment, in this abandoned cathedral that was turned into a studio, Zhou Xingchi was wearing a priest's clothes, holding a Bible, and was making preparations.Liang Chaowei was wearing a vest and sitting leisurely on the side.

"Director Han, it turns out that you also want to make a guest appearance." Liang Chaowei said to Han Qiu.

"What kind of cameo is this? It's just my job." Han Qiu replied.

This time he played a secondary role in the movie, and his identity is also a director, but his lines are much more than Liang Chaowei.

Yuan Meng came over and interrupted their conversation: "Han Qiu, it's OK."

Han Qiu nodded: "Okay, let's start."

Lighting, props, actors in place
"Action!" Han Qiu said.

The performance officially begins.

In the movie, Zhou Xingchi plays a frustrated actor who has always dreamed of becoming a real actor and wants to conquer everyone with his acting skills.

And Mo Wenwei plays a well-known action actress.

This scene is Zhou Xingchi coming to play tricks in Mo Wenwei's scene, but Zhou Xingchi did bad things with good intentions and messed up other people's play.

He played a corpse, but he couldn't die no matter what. He also said that this was caused by the character's mischievous personality, and that's how he should act.

Therefore, Zhou Xingchi was honored to be invited out by the director Han Qiu.The one who replaced him was Liang Chaowei.

Liang Chaowei's guest appearance in The King of Comedy is also a trick.But he was more obedient than Zhou Xingchi, acting like a corpse, he didn't move at all.

After this scene, Liang Chaowei's cameo career is over.

"Director Han, I'm going home first." Liang Chaowei greeted.

Han Qiu nodded: "Okay, I'll see you off."

When the two walked out of the set, Liang Chaowei suddenly asked, "Director Han, how was my performance just now?"

Han Qiu smiled and asked, "Which one are you asking about?"

Liang Chaowei was stunned, only to realize that the scene just now was a play within a play, with two characters.

After recovering, Liang Chaowei kicked the ball back again: "Which character do you think plays better?"

Han Qiu rolled his eyes and said, "You are the most realistic when you play the corpse."

Liang Chaowei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's the same as playing a corpse, what other tricks can you do? Could it be like Zhou Xingchi, you can't die?"

Speaking of Zhou Xingchi, Liang Chaowei's voice slowly sank again: "This seems to be the first time I have cooperated with Zhou Xingchi, right? I didn't expect it to be the last time."

"Didn't you make a guest appearance at Truman last time?"

"You said that, in that scene, I didn't even meet him, so I don't count." Liang Chaowei shook his head.

His guest appearance in Truman was the audience in front of the TV, and Zhou Xingchi performed on the TV.When Han Qiu was filming Liang Chaowei's scene, Zhou Xingchi's role had already ended.

"That's not sure." Han Qiu said with a smile: "When Zhou Xingchi comes out as a director, you can act in his movies. Wouldn't this allow us to cooperate?"

Liang Chaowei, you sighed: "It's over."

He waved his hand: "By the time Zhou Xingchi comes back, I guess I've already quit the arena for many years. Besides, I'm not suitable for acting in nonsensical comedies."

Han Qiu hesitated to speak, wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liang Chaowei.

"Okay, Director Han, just send it here, I will go back by myself. Everyone is still waiting for you inside, don't delay the business."

After finishing speaking, Liang Chaowei stretched out his hand and pulled the vest on his body, patted Han Qiu on the shoulder, and left gracefully, disappearing into the busy street.

Looking at Liang Chaowei's lonely back, Han Qiu's eyes suddenly went into a trance, and his memory gushed out like a tide.

He vaguely saw Liang Chaowei back then, uh no, Chen Yongren.He also left the police academy with such a lonely and reluctant back.

Since then, a policeman fell into the underworld.

But now, it seems that a film king has stepped out of the rivers and lakes.

"Okay, don't look, everyone is gone." Yuan Meng's clear voice suddenly rang in Han Qiu's ear.

"Oh huh? Why are you here?"

"I won't come here again, are you going to stand here all afternoon?"

Han Qiu smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, let's go back now."

Yuan Meng looked at Han Qiu's back as he turned and left, and then turned his head to look outside, but he didn't see Liang Chaowei.

"These two are really strange. They were drunk a few nights ago." Yuan Meng muttered.

Shooting continues.

After Zhou Xingchi screwed up Mo Wenwei's scene, Han Qiu kicked him out of the set and left in despair.

When passing by Xu Mengda's side, he reached out for a bowl of lunch.

"What are you doing?" Xu Mengda stopped Zhou Xingchi without raising his head.

"Hello, big brother, I just want to get a box lunch."

"Not yet."

"No. Because I have to go first, so."

"Then you go!" Xu Mengda's tone was not kind, he stared at Zhou Xingchi with a displeased face, and cursed, "Do you know why you can't eat? It's because of you, you can't die no matter what you die, so that everyone can't die." Eat!"

The more Xu Mengda talked, the more excited he became, as if he had some deep hatred with Zhou Xingchi.

Standing beside Yuan Meng, Han Qiu nodded in relief.Xu Mengda has been with Zhou Xingchi for so many years, and his acting skills are getting better and better.He heard that Xu Mengda had won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Supporting Actor once.

But compared to Zhou Xingchi's acting skills, Xu Mengda is still weaker.
Thinking of this, Han Qiu stared at the camera without blinking, for fear of missing the following clip.

I saw Xu Mengda picked up a boxed lunch and slammed it on the ground next to a stray dog. The food inside spilled on the ground and was bitten by the puppy.

"Do you really want to eat? Go and eat with it!" Xu Mengda shouted.

Zhou Xingchi's face was a bit ugly, facing Xu Mengda's insults and humiliation, he forced a smile, walked past him silently, and before leaving, he even glanced at the leftovers on the ground.

Unexpectedly, Xu Mengda saw Zhou carefully groveling, continued to insult, and even sang: "Shit, you are a puddle of shit!"

Zhou Xingchi turned his back to Xu Mengda, still smiling, but the smile became more and more stiff.

"You are a piece of shit, your life is cheaper than an ant."

Zhou Xingchi couldn't laugh anymore.

"I ride a Mercedes, you pick your booger!"

Zhou Xingchi's smile disappeared completely, his eye sockets began to moisten with tears, and his pace became faster and faster under his feet.

Until the moment he walked out of the camera, tears seemed to be coming out of his eyes.But he blinked hard to hold back the tears.

Behind, Xu Mengda was still scolding: "If you want to eat, go eat shit!"

Outside the arena, many staff members, including Yuan Meng, watched all this in a daze.

Although they knew the plot, they didn't expect it to act like this.

What about the funny scene when he played the corpse in the church?Why did it suddenly become like this
"Cut!" Han Qiu greeted, and Xu Mengda stopped cursing.

However, Zhou Xingchi's eye circles were still slightly red.

Yuan Meng handed over a tissue: "Are you all right?"

Zhou Xingchi took the tissue, but rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, "Thank you, I'm fine."

Seeing Xu Mengda walking over with a sighing expression, Yuan Meng was a little uncomfortable, and teased: "Uncle Xu, you scolded me so much just now, did you practice less?"

"Practice?" Xu Mengda said with a wry smile, "I don't need practice. I've heard it more than once before."

"What? When you were filming before, did other people say this line?"

"Yes." Xu Mengda nodded, "It's just that it wasn't a line, and it wasn't filming at the time."

"what?"

Zhou Xingchi sighed softly: "This really happened."

Hearing this, Yuan Meng's eyes widened in an instant, and she waved her hands unprepared: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it just now."

"It's okay, it was all a few years ago."

The embarrassment on Yuan Meng's face became more intense.

She also finally understood why Xu Mengda's performance was so exciting and irritable; she also understood that the tears from the corners of Zhou Xingchi's eyes just now were not squeezed out, they probably came out of emotion when he touched the scene
Han Qiu shook his head helplessly, stepped forward and said, "Let's rest for a while before shooting."

Zhou Xingchi knew that he had exerted too much force and was out of shape, so he did not refuse Han Qiu's suggestion.

After Han Qiu ordered the crew to take a break, he and Zhou Xingchi walked to where Xu Mengda performed just now and sat down.

Zhou Xingchi smiled bitterly when he saw a large pile of boxed lunches beside him.

"It must have been hard back then." Han Qiu asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhou Xingchi shook his head: "It was hard work at that time, but it has also been hard work in the past ten years. It's just that the hard work back then was mediocre, and these years of hard work finally paid off."

Han Qiu was speechless.

"Director Han, do you know? At that time, I was kicked out by the crew because of a mistake, and Meng Da was also implicated. We both wanted a lunch box, but we were scolded by the scene manager. The scene manager was just like Meng Da before. Da scolded like that."

Han Qiu continued to listen.

"Director Han, you know that I have a bad temper. When I was filming with Director Ye, I even scolded the staff. If Director Ye didn't mind, probably not many people are willing to cooperate with me, right?" Zhou Xingchi said lightly. : "Maybe it's because I have been scolded too much before, and then I want to learn from others and take my anger out on others."

"Director Han, do you know which movie I was most indulgent in filming?"

"Ok?"

"It's time to shoot God of Cookery." Zhou Xingchi laughed and said, "At the beginning of that drama, I was the God of Cookery, and my reputation was not ruined. At that time, I was domineering, moody, and disrespectful. Director Ye also said that I acted like a tyrant." Zhou Xingchi shrugged, "At that moment, I felt like I had released the devil in my heart, unscrupulous."

Hearing this, Han Qiu was a little taken aback.

He remembered that Ye Chen once talked to him about Zhou Xingchi and said, "Old Han, don't look at how bright Zhou Xingchi smiles on the screen, in fact, he smiles less than anyone else in life, and he is completely in harmony with him." There are two people in the movie."

"I don't know how to describe him, vicissitudes? Melancholy? He seems to keep all his smiles on the screen, as if you have to pay first to see him laugh in life. He is very hard and violent when acting. .But only in this style of 'tyrant' can comedy be performed to the extreme."

This was what Ye Chen told Han Qiu himself.

At this moment, when Han Qiu heard the word "tyrant" from Zhou Xingchi again, he couldn't help but feel a little touched.

"Director Han, many actors who have worked with me don't like me, do you think I am not suitable for being in the film and television industry?"

"What's the matter? As long as the audience likes you." Han Qiu shook his head, and he could only attribute this to the fact that geniuses are very different.

"If they know the real me, will they still like me?"

"It depends on whether you want to be a pure star or a pure actor." Han Qiu replied: "Fans follow stars because they like this star, and audiences like you because they like the roles you play in movies. I can only say , It’s enough to be your true self.”

"I understand." Zhou Xingchi nodded: "Director Han, this movie. Let the audience see what I am like in real life."

"The audience will understand you." Han Qiu smiled, "Let's go, let's continue filming."

"it is good."

Looking at Zhou Xingchi's serious face, Han Qiu finally understood why he had to quit.

Just like in the script, Zhou Xingchi said to the heroine: "I am an actor."
