China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 501 The drama bully returns to the rivers and lakes, the director wants to cry but has no tears

The book continues from the above:

It is said that Gao Fei has shot a lot of kung fu movies over the years, but he has never been so tired.

Often, as soon as he got off the camera, he was busy pointing out the actors' movements.

Sometimes it is even necessary to demonstrate in person, otherwise the actors may not be able to accurately understand Gao Fei's meaning.

But tired is a bit tired, but Gao Fei is quite happy.

Especially this time, the martial arts style of "One Man's Martial Arts" tends to be violent as a whole.

Therefore, whether it is teaching or playing, Gao Fei is very happy in his heart.

Although human beings always think that they have established a civilized world.

But bloodthirsty and aggressiveness are part of human nature.

After all, without this innate trait, human beings would not stand out from countless animals and become the only intelligent creature on earth.

So in fact, there is no such thing as animal nature or human nature.

Because animal nature is part of human nature.

It's just that most of the time human beings are bound by acquired rules, so they subconsciously hide it in their hearts.

And this is the so-called acquired domestication!

……

But then again, the reason why Feng Yuxiu was able to kill the Quartet in the movie, in Gao Fei's opinion, was not because his kung fu was really strong and boundless.

It's that his state of mind is completely different from that of martial arts practitioners in the modern city.

He has been devoting himself to practicing martial arts and ignoring world affairs, just like a warrior who is out of touch with the world.

He was not influenced by the rules of the civilized world in his heart, and he didn't even have any fetters.

In this way, he can strike unscrupulously, and his combat effectiveness can also be brought to the extreme.

Although the phrase "blackening and strengthening three points" is just a joke.

But in fact, there is a certain truth.

After all, the soft is afraid of the hard, the hard is afraid of being stunned, and the frightened is desperate!

The same is true for martial arts! ! !

One courage, two strengths and three kung fu, it has been like this since ancient times!
The more courage you have, the more strength you will have.

If life and death can be ignored again, then the opponent will not know how much effort it will take to make up the gap!
Let alone ancient times, even modern society,
If a courageous person dares to risk his life to fight, people who have practiced martial arts are definitely not opponents.

This is why many times when faced with a murderer, it takes so many policemen to chase and intercept him before he can be arrested and brought to justice.

It's just that as the filming progressed, Gao Fei and director Chen Desen had some differences.

Hmm~ how should I put it...

There is no problem with martial arts now, but Gao Fei has a little disagreement about the literary part.

Although in Chen Desen's script, he said that the two characters Feng Yuxiu and Xia Houwu were created according to the two-hero model.

But in the subsequent development of the plot, Xia Houwu unknowingly became a tool man pushed away by the plot.

There is no character arc of the male lead at all, and there is no chance to play it.

It is said to be a male lead, but it is more like a showman.

Except for the prison battle at the beginning, Xia Houwu had almost no chance to make a move.

When Feng Yuxiu killed the boxing champion, he wasn't there.

He was not present when Feng Yuxiu killed the King of North Legs.

When Feng Yuxiu killed the Weapon King, he wasn't there either.

Even when Feng Yuxiu killed his friend the King of Capture, he was still not there.

Sleepwalking the whole time, completely devoid of the demeanor of a "peerless master" that Xiu talked about.

Until the police rounded up Feng Yuxiu at the pier.

It was only then that Xia Houwu had a brief contest with Feng Yuxiu, and his junior sister's fighting scenes were interspersed in it.

So this confrontation can only be regarded as a hasty end in the end.

Therefore, strictly speaking, only the fight scene between Feng Yuxiu and Xia Houwu on the road at the end can be regarded as Xia Houwu's highlight moment.

But in this way, the character Xia Houwu is a bit thin.

Because the so-called "two-hero model" was only established when the male one and the anti-one were evenly matched.

But according to Chen Desen's design, Anti-Yi has obviously become the absolute protagonist.

However, although Gao Fei was a little helpless about this point, he could understand it.

Because Chen Desen's movies seem to have this problem-the male protagonist is always a tool man, and only the leading villain is his true love!
For example, the natural health of "The True Colors of a Man", if it is placed in the European and American film circles, it will definitely be the number one male.

After all, a tragic character who is bound by the shackles of loneliness and pride really suits the appetite of those foreigners!

Of course, even in Chinese movies, the character of Tian Yangsheng is very brilliant.

A group of children struggling to survive from the orphanage, born and raised, vowed to beat out their own world with their fists. If this was placed in ancient times, it would be a template for heroes!

And the rebuttal when he was questioned by the actor in the movie Zhongtian Yangsheng was even more handsome.

"Axiom? Where?"

"Why didn't I see it? Where was the axiom when I had nothing to eat?

"Axiom is achieved with fists. Remember, you must have strength!"

"You have to answer to your woman, and I have to answer to my brother."

"If there is justice in this world, I hope our wishes will come true."

To be honest, such an anti-one is simply more charismatic than the male one.

So Nicholas Tingfeng was really not wronged when he lost at the beginning, even Gao Fei couldn't stand it.

Because this is not an actor's problem at all, but the director's preference for characters.

Sometimes Gao Fei wondered if Chen Desen was always bullied by the leading actor when he was in the martial arts circle.

Otherwise, why does he have such a big opinion of the male one and prefer the villain so much?
You must know that whether it is Tian Yangsheng in "The True Colors of a Man" or Luo Tianhong in "Capturing the Commander", they are all villains who are extremely handsome and full of charm.

The same is true of the killer Aji in "Slaying the Wolf".

The alley battle between Wu Jing and Zhen Zibao at the end of the film can be regarded as one of the most classic decisive battles in Xiangjiang action movies in recent years.

In the narrow alleys of the city, one person wields a stick and the other wields a knife.

They fought fiercely and quickly, extremely dangerous, and the audience watched it heartily.

It is said that this classic fight was later used as a teaching example of street fighting by foreign police academies.

Well, I have to say, this group of foreign devils still knows their stuff!
And Chen Desen couldn't help but smile awkwardly after listening to Gao Fei's words.

In fact, he himself knows this old problem.

Some colleagues in the industry have reminded him before, but when Chen Desen is making movies, he always subconsciously commits the same crime again.

So now that Gao Fei has talked about this, he can only accept advice humbly and ask Gao Fei what he thinks.

In fact, he can't accept advice with an open mind.

Once the two had a disagreement, Chen Desen had no doubt that he would be the one to leave.

Even if he initiated the project in the first place, the result is the same.

After all, what Cheng Long can do, today's Gao Fei can't do it!
……

Of course, Gao Fei did this for the good of the movie.

You must know that he has not been a fool all these years.

From actor, to producer, to director, he has experienced all these identities in the film and television industry.

So Gao Fei's understanding of movies has long been beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Otherwise, do you really think his success was a fluke?

Facing Chen Desen's rather conflicting eyes, Gao Fei didn't flinch in the slightest, and immediately said:

"Punch first, grab second, kick second, from the inside to the outside, five in one... This killing sequence is actually very good."

"Simple and clear, easy to understand."

"The reason why Feng Yuxiu came to Xiangjiang was to kill people. He is a martial idiot who has already practiced martial arts."

"Once the audience accepts this setting, then there is already a clear main line of movie watching."

"In this way, there is no need to be so rigid in the subsequent plot development."

While talking, Gao Fei casually took a piece of scratch paper and drew a tree diagram.

"You see, we can modify the plot a little bit."

"Feng Yuxiu once regarded Xia Houwu as an idol, worshiped him, and imitated him."

"But Xia Houwu betrayed the image of stalwart in his heart and chose to surrender."

"So after Feng Yuxiu has achieved great martial arts, in addition to becoming the strongest, what he wants to break is the god in his heart."

"However, the two of them should have fought each other last, but after killing Xia Houwu's friend, the master capture master, the two just met on the roof of the building."

Speaking of that, Gao Fei drew a circle on the paper with excited eyes, and nodded emphatically.

"This scene can definitely be used as a turning point."

"On the one hand, it can enhance the dramatic conflict of the movie, and on the other hand, it can also increase the suspense of the movie."

After all, Gao Fei confessed his thoughts.

In fact, his idea is very simple, and there is no need to go to war.

It just needs to make some minor adjustments to the script on the current basis.

For example, when Xia Houwu was released from prison, there was absolutely no need to go back to see his junior sister so early.

After all, this kind of indecisive and sticky love scene is not only a bit inexplicable, but also a bit tricky compared to the tragedy of Feng Yuxiu and his wife.

Of course, it's not that love between men and women cannot appear in Kung Fu movies, it's just that we need to pay attention to the timing.

And this brief confrontation on the rooftop is the best opportunity to draw out Dan Ying's role.

……

It is said that during the chase on the rooftop, Feng Yuxiu leaped fearlessly and jumped onto another building, but Xia Houwu reined in the precipice and did not dare to follow.

This made Feng Yuxiu very dissatisfied, so he took the initiative to call the police station to warn Xia Houwu:
"Your performance on the rooftop disappointed me."

"On the day you and I face off, I hope to see you at your peak."

"By the way, I can do you a favor."

"If...the person you love the most dies, I think you should be able to kill anyone."

On the surface, this passage seems to be that Feng Yuxiu was disappointed that Xia Houwu didn't dare to make a desperate leap.

Therefore, in order to stimulate him to return to his peak state, he decided to kill his little junior sister.

But there is actually a dark line.

That is, Feng Yuxiu also wanted Xia Houwu to follow the same path as him - killing his wife to prove the Tao!
In this way, in Feng Yuxiu's own martial arts, there is another comrade.

This idea is crazy, but also sick.

But it can make the character of Feng Yuxiu more plump from the side.

Because Feng Yuxiu felt that if Xia Houwu walked the same path as him, it meant that he did nothing wrong, and everything he did was right and worthwhile.

This can be regarded as a manifestation of Feng Yuxiu's humanity.

And if Gao Fei's design is followed, the logic behind it will be much smoother.

Because he was in a hurry to save his junior sister when he went back, Xia Houwu didn't have time to wait for the police to follow the procedure, but chose to disappear during bail.

In this way, the following scenes will be wonderful:
Two murderers with extraordinary martial arts are on the run at the same time, and the third-party police are chasing after them.

So Xia Houwu had to keep getting rid of the police's pursuit while preventing Feng Yuxiu from killing people.

While Feng Yuxiu was competing with Xia Houwu, he also had to resist harassment from the police.

The three parties are mixed in one place, and the enemy and the enemy are inseparable. While influencing each other, they are constantly playing games.

Such a scene, Gao Fei felt excited just thinking about it.

And Chen Desen, as a senior director, is not just for nothing.

After all, he has been making movies for so many years.

Therefore, only through Gao Fei's language description, he can already outline the corresponding picture in his mind.

So right now he is even more excited than Gao Fei.

His eyes were hot and his face was flushed, and the inspiration in his mind suddenly surged out.

This made Chen Desen immediately optimize Gao Fei's plan.

"No, Teacher Gao, we can definitely make the plot more thrilling."

"Since the assassination of Feng Yuxiu led to the character of Dan Ying, it is absolutely possible for Dan Ying to continue to assist Xia Houwu in the future."

"In this way, the variable of Dan Ying will be added to the follow-up three-party chase scene."

"And this character can actually be very brilliant."

"In Feng Yuxiu's words, it's 'Her swordsmanship is actually quite good, but it's a pity that she doesn't have the intention to kill'."

Seeing Chen Desen's reaction, Gao Fei was also slightly relieved.

As long as he can accept it, if there is no other way, he actually doesn't want to make a fuss.

After all, even if this matter is not difficult for him, it will hinder his reputation after all.

Gao Fei didn't want to imagine that Jiang Wen would live his whole life with the reputation of being a "drama bully".

Although, what he did was actually no different from Jiang Wen's.

Of course, compared to Lu Chuan, Chen Desen still has real skills.

So in the follow-up discussion, the two not only reorganized the logic, but also filled in some plot flaws.

At the same time, it also solved the most critical problem of the imbalance between "anti-one" and "male one".

……

In fact, after Gao Fei pointed out that Chen Desen had committed the old problem of "favoring" the villain again, he had been thinking about a solution.

After all, if this problem is not resolved, the movie will definitely not be able to continue.

Because even if Gao Fei doesn't care about the number of roles, Zhou Yi will not watch Gao Fei as a stepping stone for Wang Baojun... especially when Chen Desen is partial.

And when Chen Desen's thinking was opened by Gao Fei, this problem was quickly solved.

In fact, the method is very simple, that is to let Feng Yuxiu and Xia Houwu compete in advance.

It's just that the form may have to be changed.

For example, after Xia Houwu was released from prison, when he followed the police to the set to watch the murder scene, he could use some traces on the scene to judge the moves of the two fighting.

In this way, Xia Houwu can make a simple simulation in his heart.

Speaking of this, Chen Desen said excitedly:

"According to this design, Xia Houwu's transformation will come out."

"During the group battle in the prison, he kept his hands, and he no longer had the vigor of the past."

"The scene of the murder case after being released from prison, simulating the swordsmanship duel between the two can be regarded as a fight in the air."

"However, this contest does not need to be very long, as long as a few fragments are enough."

"The most important thing is that after Xia Houwu went through some simulations in his mind - he lost!"

Hearing what he said, Gao Fei couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

If it is arranged in this way, it is really okay, and there are still some questions.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei suddenly thought:

"You mean... step by step?"

"Not bad!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Desen nodded decisively and replied:

"Later, when his friend who was good at capturing was killed, the extremely angry Xia Houwu fought Feng Yuxiu again, and this time it was a draw."

"It wasn't until his beloved little junior sister almost died that Xia Houwu's murderous intention suddenly came to him with awe-inspiring killing intent."

"That's how the peak duel on the final road came about!"

Having said that, Chen Desen couldn't help but clenched his fist and waved vigorously:

"Kungfu is a killing skill, and martial arts without murderous intent will always be regarded as half-finished products!"

Hearing this, Gao Fei finally couldn't help but nodded.

If Chen Desen's optimization plan is followed, as long as there are no mistakes during shooting, the final quality of the movie will definitely be higher than the original version.

Because in the optimized version, not only is there no redundant character, but the theme runs through the entire movie from beginning to end.

In fact, this is what Gao Fei admires most about Chen Desen.

He really thinks that "Kung Fu is a killing skill", so he didn't do any reversal or reflection in the movie, it just simply and firmly proves this sentence!

The kung fu of having a killer move without killing the intention can only be a superficial appearance.

As for the so-called personal morality, only the living are qualified to talk about it!
After all, the premise of enlightening the world is actually to have abundant martial arts virtues.

If it weren't for this, Confucius would not have traveled around the world back then.

I am afraid that he will be harmed by wolves, tigers, leopards and mountain thieves before he leaves the country of Lu. How can there be any later books to talk about!
Of course, although Gao Fei and Chen Desen chatted happily, the actual operation was quite troublesome.

At least the coordinating team went crazy because the plan had to be changed again.

Fortunately, all the scenes have not changed, but the original scenes have been expanded or reduced.

So apart from the coordinating team being in agony, there was nothing on the actor's side.

That is to say, Wang Baozhen and Liu Shishi need to learn more moves, and other actors can basically adapt quickly.

It's just that the budget will inevitably be overrun.

But with Gao Fei, a big local tyrant, overspending is not a problem at all.

Even compared to overspending, Gao Fei's more headache is how to deal with the rambunctious little lion.

……

"Do you prefer top or bottom?"

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Shishi, who had just finished a morning exercise, was lazily lying in Gao Fei's arms and suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Gao Fei didn't think too much, and immediately smiled and said:

"Whatever, anyway, whether you are above or below, I am inside you!"

I didn't want Liu Shishi to hear the words, but immediately arched her little head in his arms, and said with a look of disgust:

"Huh~ Men are really big pigs, so you know it's astringent!"

Hearing what she said, Gao Fei laughed angrily.

"Hello? Why don't you make some sense? It's obvious that you mentioned it first?"

Not wanting to hear this, Liu Shishi became angry from embarrassment and started to fight.

After all, besides talking more about love, you have to do more.

So fighting and fighting, the flames of war were rekindled.

If it wasn't for Gao Fei still thinking about filming, the little lion probably wouldn't let him get up.

And this is Gao Fei's biggest headache, the little lion is too clingy, and also loves brains!

I don't know if it was affected by the recent martial arts training. Not only did Liu Shishi's mental state improve, but his physical strength also increased a lot.

Once the physical strength is good, the durability will naturally increase.

As a result, although Gao Fei chose to start the war every time, Liu Shishi decided when to cease the war.

But in this way, Gao Fei was immediately troubled.

He finally understands what is meant by "the spring night is bitter and the day is high, and the king will not go to court early from now on".

That is to say, Gao Fei has been exercising all the time, and his physical fitness is always online.

Otherwise, he might really have weak legs when filming during the day.

Therefore, in order not to let his brand of action star collapse, Gao Fei had to increase the intensity of Liu Shishi's training every day, teaching one set of swordsmanship after he learned it, anyway, he couldn't make her too energetic.

This is how the tall film king will not stumble.

However, although Gao Fei kept his integrity, Huang Xiaoming capsized again in the gutter.

No one thought that Zhang Zhiliang, Huang Jianxin, Tsui Hark, Jin Peida, Yip Jintian, these once famous names would gather together and finally make such a bad movie.

As soon as "The Legend of the White-haired Witch: The Moon Heaven" was released, Huang Xiaoming and Fan Bingbing were pushed to the forefront.

It is said that the public relations team was desperate, because they were too busy, and they couldn't even do the first-day review.

Even though Gao Fei was immersed in the filming of the film crew, he had heard of the name of this bad film.

To what extent is this film so bad, a viewer's comment is actually very representative:
【It's a movie so bad that you want to kill yourself! 】

Tsk tsk~ I have to say that Huang Xiaoming's luck is really impressive.

And Brother Xiao Ming also won the trophy for the most disappointed actor of the year in advance because of "Blood Droplet", "Pimp", "Big Shanghai" and this "White-haired Witch".

It is said that Brother Xiaoming is already depressed and doesn't want to go out.

For this, Gao Fei can only express his deep regret, and then...honestly give a thumbs up to the bad review!

After all, it is said that cross talk is looking forward to death, and acting is naturally not much better.

Of course, Gao Fei still has some integrity.

At least he didn't take the opportunity to help Brother Xiaoming comfort his girlfriend, and he didn't even answer her phone.

Based on this alone, Gao Fei felt that he was worthy of him.

You must know that he is a disciple of Cao Xiang and a follower of Wei Wu...o(*￣︶￣*)o
