This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Chapter 220 This Kid Can Pretend Too Much

The musicians used in the crew were all selected by Zhang Yimou from an art troupe.

They have rich performance experience. Although they usually only perform music on stage, at least they will not be stage-frightened under the camera, and they can play more naturally.

As for the performance at that time, it is also very simple. From the beginning, they waited on the sidelines. When the music started, they played again.

But Zhang Yimou has already arranged for them, which ones will really get started, and which ones will be in a hurry.

But this time it was Song Dandan who played the bustard in the play. Song Dandan was an enthusiastic person who couldn't relax at all. He asked the musicians to rehearse the moves when they had nothing to do.

In order to avoid any trouble under the camera.

After Jiang Bai created the score, he spent more than an hour every day teaching them.

Although Jiang Bai knew very well that in the movie, it is estimated that these musicians could play for only one or two minutes at most, but Jiang Bai still had to teach them the complete piece.

Moreover, in addition to the pipa, there is also an erhu in it, which also needs Jiang Bai to teach.

Who knows which paragraph Zhang Yimou will use.

This time I recorded everything, maybe I will use it later.

So every morning, Jiang Bai followed Cheng Xiaodong to teach everyone how to move, and waited until after eleven o'clock to think about the script.

After eating at noon, he rested for more than an hour. He started to teach those musicians at two o'clock, and then went to Cheng Xiaodong to do the job of martial arts instructor after teaching at three o'clock.

At five o'clock, Jiang Bai sat down with everyone to read the script, and found out the shortcomings of others and corrected them.

In this way, we discussed while reading, and had dinner on time at six o'clock.

After the meal, the literary and opera actors continued to ponder the script, and the actors with action scenes went to review the movements they learned during the day.

But Jiang Bai doesn't need to do these things, he still has to make the next song.

Some are solo instruments, but some require the cooperation of multiple instruments.

Therefore, after he composes the music, he will have to find an orchestra to perform it, but this will be performed in the recording studio.

But for the very first scene, although the post-recording is also required, there must be music on the scene. After all, it is necessary to ensure that every syllable from the influence can match the hand shapes of these musicians when the movie is playing. .

Such details are basic operations for Zhang Yimou.

He didn't want to wait until the film was broadcast to be discovered by a knowledgeable audience that the actor's hand was in the wrong position.

Been busy for a week.

Just the night before the filming started, Zhang Yimou called all the actors and staff for a meeting.

"Our previous training is basically over. Are there any problems with everyone's lines and movements?"

"No problem." Everyone said in unison.

"Okay, then we are going to start tomorrow. I will invite reporters and the media to come over for a simple visit, but if they ask you anything related to the plot of this movie, don't say anything. If you have to ask If you want to, just push it on me, I don’t want the content of our movie to be leaked so early.”

"Got it, Director!"

"However, you can answer other questions if you need to answer, or if you want to promote yourself well, in short, our purpose this time is to let them know that we are going to make a movie, let them know who is in our movie, let They help us make promotional leaflets, what kind of role each person plays, and the content and development trend of the story cannot be said."

"Director, can you say that type?"

"That's fine. Even if we don't tell them, they can guess what we want to shoot just by looking at the scenes. In this way, the sets are either historical themes or martial arts themes."

"Good director."

After Zhang Yimou told everyone, he asked everyone to go back to rest.

Only Zhang Yimou and Cheng Xiaodong were left.

"Old Cheng, you said that this time I invited Jiang Bai to play the lead role, right?"

Cheng Xiaodong smiled: "What's wrong, what are you worried about?"

"I'm worried he's a little bit underwhelmed at the box office."

"If you say you think about this, isn't that just to make trouble for yourself? I used to think that whether a movie can sell well at the box office depends half on the story and the other half on the faces of the actors.

But then I found out that this is not the case. As long as your story is good, even if you use some actors you have never seen before, there is no problem.

Aren't the two films made by Jiang Bai's company the best proof?How many good-looking ones can you see in those two movies?The best-looking one is Jiang Bai, who else is not crooked?Such a person may have no chance to be the background board in Lao Zhang's movie.

So you don’t have to think about it too much. Jiang Bai is good-looking first, good at acting, and good at martial arts. This is enough. Otherwise, if you look at the new police story that Cheng Long filmed at the beginning of this year, his wrists are big enough. And the scene is also big, the final box office is not only tens of millions, even the money has not been recovered. "

Zhang Yimou nodded: "Since the roles have been selected, then there is no need to think about these things anymore. Since the ones that can be selected here are the best."

On the second day, the film Flying Daggers started on time, and many reporters and media came. After attending the opening ceremony, a short press conference was naturally held.

The reporters asked a lot of questions at the press conference, but after a press conference that lasted for more than an hour, the reporters didn't even get a single useful answer.

No matter how they ask, these main creators always say some oblique words, but they don't answer directly anyway.

The only news they could know until the end was that the name of the movie was Flying Daggers and the list of starring actors.

If Zhang Yimou hadn't paid them enough for their transportation, they would have scolded their mothers on the spot.

Anyway, Zhang Yimou just didn't say anything, as long as he let the outside world know that he has a movie to start shooting, that's enough.

After sending these records away in this way, they also started filming officially.

Zhang Yimou has never been short of money or time for filming. On the set, he can shoot whatever he wants and wherever he wants.

If the weather is bad today, everyone will rest.

When the weather he wants appears, everyone has to be in position to start shooting immediately.

But since the previous shots were all interior scenes, Zhang Yimou also came in order.

The first shot was the Yamen, but now it is called the Bukuai Gongfang, and the area they are in is Fengtian County.

At the moment, there are more than a dozen simple knives leaning on a shelf outside the policeman's house in Fengtian County.

Immediately afterwards, the policemen in the public housing took their weapons one by one.

Then the camera cuts to the house.

Those catchers came to the house, and there were two people in the house at this time, one was Liu Butou, and the other was Jiang Butou.

Liu Butou was sitting on a chair flexing his ankles, while Jiang Butou was wiping his treasured knife.

"Liu Butou, Jiang Butou, the subordinates are out for inspection, so we leave."

They came just to say hello.

After hearing this, the two nodded to him, and then the policemen reported and signaled at the same time, and then left.

And only Jiang Bai and Liu Dehua were left in the house.

"Oh, I'm going to be busy again." After pressing his legs and feet, Liu Butou said with a sigh while making himself a cup of tea.

At this time, Jiang Bai was still wiping his blade, but the camera had already pushed over and began to take a close-up of him. Jiang Bai didn't look up, but just looked at his knife, letting the camera take pictures of his side face: "The state government restricts us The new leader of Flying Daomen will be seized within ten days."

"What? How long did it take to kill Liu Yunfei, the old leader of Feidaomen?"

"A whole month of March!"

"Ten days? Easier said than done!"

Liu Butou said with a look of embarrassment, in his opinion, this is an impossible task at all.

The old gang leader still needs three months, let alone the new gang leader who just took office, he must be cunning, and he will never show his face outside.

At this time, Jiang Butou had already wiped the knife, and stretched forward with one hand, staring at it to see if it was polished brightly.

After checking that there was no problem, he pressed the knife on the table and looked up at Liu Butou: "There is a new peony shop in the local area, do you know?"

"I know." Liu Butou said while eating his snacks.

"Does anyone in there know you?"

"I don't know, the brothers haven't had time to go yet."

"Okay, let's go."

"A clue?"

Jiang Bai inserted the sword back into the scabbard: "Today's secret report said that there is a top card in Mudanfang, whose identity is suspicious."

"Okay, then I'll go play."

After speaking, Liu Tutou drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp.

Zhang Yimou watched the performance of the two from behind the monitor and did not stop.

It wasn't until the two of them finished the performance that they yelled.

Now he suddenly felt that it was too correct for him to arrange the roles in this way!
Liu Dehua was able to play the upright and cynical look very well, and his expression was natural when he said that he was going to play in the Peony Building.

There is no pretense, and the Peony House he said before, he and his brothers have not had time to go in the future, which also shows that they always go to places like brothels.

It's just that Liu Dehua's words seemed a bit obscene, but they seemed a bit righteous when they came out of Liu Dehua's mouth, but if you want to call him righteous, this person often visits brothels.

But no matter what, even seeing Liu Dehua say this is hard to make people angry and disgusted.

As for Jiang Bai, it's different. Obviously Jiang Bai has read the script behind and knows what kind of person Liu Catcher is, but the words that come out of his mouth now are like a serious trapper. same head.

"This kid is really pretending. He is obviously full of bad things, but now he looks more like an upright catcher than Liu catcher."

"Yeah, this kid is so good at pretending. I don't even know what kind of person he is. One second he was serious and outrageous, but the next second he can laugh and laugh. If nothing else, he just It is said that after the film is released, people will never guess that Jiang Butou is an undercover agent of Feidaomen just by watching the front."

Zhang Yimou nodded in agreement, so it is okay to switch the roles of the two headhunters, but considering the plot of the second male lead killing the first female lead, he felt that it would be more appropriate for Jiang Bai to come. Although Liu Dehua The acting skills are also outstanding, but he is still less ruthless than Jiang Bai. What he wants is to bring a strong sense of contrast to the audience. How ruthless the male number two is in the front, and how ruthless the back is.

But after watching it, Zhang Yimou called back those trick-or-treating tricks just now and performed it again.

For the second time, the two still played steadily, and there was no NG in the whole process.

"Worthy of being an actor, Liu Dehua's acting skills are too stable!"

Zhang Ziyi, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but also said.

"I don't think Xiao Jiang is bad. You can see that he and Liu Dehua have no stage fright at all." Song Dandan praised Jiang Bai from the side.

"really."

After the filming here, they came to the cell again.

Although it was still daytime outside, it was very dark in this dungeon, and the room was illuminated by torches lit around.

Two police officers outside a cell were eating peanuts and drinking wine, looking very casual.

And the little girl played by Zhang Ziyi is tied to the frame of the torture instrument, with her head hanging down and her hair loose, and she can't see her face clearly.

Immediately afterwards, two policemen in the corridor walked past on patrol with figure eight steps and knives, but just after they passed by, Butou Liu, who was covering his face on the camera, fell from above.

Liu Dehua and Jiang Bai were watching from not far away.

Here Liu Dehua used a stand-in. After all, this action is a bit difficult. First of all, he has to put himself on the roof, and then jump off with a handsome posture.

Liu Dehua is not an action actor. Although he can do it himself, the movements he makes are not as beautiful as professionals.

Although this action was designed by Cheng Xiaodong, it was taught by Jiang Bai.

Because there is a scene in the back where Liu Catcher flies his feet and kicks the jailer away, Cheng Xiaodong must not be able to do it by himself now, so he can only let Jiang Bai demonstrate, but since Jiang Bai has demonstrated, it is better to let Jiang Bai directly Jiang Bai went to teach, anyway, he got Wu Zhi's salary from the crew.

And Liu Dehua's stand-in name is Du Yiheng, who was Liu Dehua's stand-in at the beginning of his debut, and also appeared in many film and television works with Liu Dehua. He has good skills, learned from a master in legwork, and his footwork is stable and powerful. He can do many moves Be clean and beautiful.

Therefore, when Jiang Bai was teaching the other party, he even talked to Cheng Xiaodong on purpose, and directly removed almost all hand movements, relying on legwork and footwork to defend against the enemy, and the purpose was to better display the strength of this stand-in .

After swiftly finishing off the two patrolling jailers, he flew down again and once again dealt with the other guards guarding the little girl.

After the jailer was dealt with, the stand-in came off the stage, and Liu Dehua, who was wearing the same costume, came on stage, kicked open the cell door, and looked at the little girl inside.

At the same time, the little girl in the prison also moved her ears slightly to perceive the surrounding situation.
