Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 196: There are too many spectators at the theater, Mr. Xu opens a famous scene (2 in 1)
"..."

Although the informal media release of the "Infernal Affairs" crew has ended, the hustle and bustle of the scene has not dissipated.

Whether it is the vast number of entertainment media, the luxurious guest lineup, or the celebrities in the industry who come to join in the fun, they are all waiting...

Waiting for Mr. Xu’s on-set show.

Or maybe you want to see with your own eyes whether Mr. Xu’s performance is as magical and real and natural as the rumors say.

Or there is Chunchun waiting to watch the show, capture the scene of Mr. Xu's mistake, and then make a big news to directly 'dispel the rumors'.

There may be Meng Fangu's "cold look". If Mr. Xu's performance is not satisfactory, the subsequent "daily life" on the set will be more difficult to handle.

There are also those who truly expect Mr. Xu to perform well, and even expect him to be dictatorial forever.

Obviously...the main creative staff including Xu Nian can understand the current situation.

Moreover, long before the scene was in chaos, Li Cheng, Zhuang Hui, and Xu Nian had a brief but substantial private exchange.

Zhuang Hui first expressed some concern: "Teacher Xu, in this situation, there are probably people who have more ideas..."

"Is it so tactful for one of my own?" Li Cheng interrupted dissatisfied, and then said seriously, "I have to ask the second uncle to show his skills."

"The disadvantages of an overly luxurious lineup quickly erupted as expected."

"Now……"

Of course, having a luxurious lineup has many benefits.

For example, the popularity of public opinion on the Internet can easily increase.

For example, being able to fully play each role well.

For example, the viewing experience is satisfying.

such as……

In short, in conjunction with the story design of "Infernal Affairs", the artistry and commerciality can be displayed to the maximum extent.

Obviously, such a good thing cannot be without its drawbacks.

One of the biggest disadvantages is the... movie-watching tide that has already begun to brew.

More than half of the people are waiting for Mr. Xu's "Waterloo".

Few people expect others to succeed so easily and to create a new path to success.

Especially when this person is Xu Nian, some indescribable sense of irony will fill him.

In other words, if Xu Nian cannot fully demonstrate his performance level and control the scene in the first scene, it will be difficult to play in the follow-up.

Even the actors who are invited will have a little more mentality.

At that time, the atmosphere on the set will be more difficult to manage.

The best way is for Xu Nian to directly reject all dissatisfaction through a scene with very high performance requirements.

That way, all sounds will disappear automatically.

After listening to Li Cheng's detailed analysis, Xu Nian, who had already anticipated this incident, asked bluntly: "What scenes can be filmed now?"

"Three plays have given me full confidence in my performance."

Zhuang Hui and Li Cheng immediately took out the screening results: "It just so happens that the guest group scene will be filmed recently, and the shots have been drawn."

"There are a few specific performances that require more complicated emotions..."

Xu Nian listened while flipping through the footage, and then came up with an idea: "This scene is good, but it seems a bit lackluster in isolation?"

"Huh?" Zhuang Hui came over and took a look, "No, this is just a complete play."

"It just shows from more angles that the protagonist 'Xu Yongren''s undercover career is an eternal purgatory, only betrayal and separation. The ex-girlfriend conceals the identity of his biological daughter in a normal state, which will make the atmosphere of 'Eternal Purgatory' more intense."

After listening to Zhuang Hui's explanation, Xu Nian thought for a while and said, "I have a simple idea, we can add a foreplay."

"Letting 'Xu Yongren' accidentally bump into his biological daughter when he was released from prison can fill the character's sad background."

"This scene requires almost no hooking. It can wait until the second scene to explode the emotions on the scene."

Li Cheng and Zhuang Hui looked at each other and raised their eyebrows instantly: "Okay, let's draw a simple shot right away."

Zhuang Hui then sighed: "The Erdaye brand automatic rice feeding machine is well-deserved."

Xu Nian: "..."

Although it is certainly impossible for the feature film to be edited in such a sequence, the current scene can be shot in this way.

Xu Nian's meaning is actually very simple.

four words...

Want to promote first restraint.

And there is a potential benefit that can solve the 'getting started' problem.

So far, none of the crews that Xu Nian has ever experienced didn't care about the auspiciousness of the first scene.

In addition, Mr. Xu is not without a temper.

Since most of them are waiting for a joke, don't blame Xu for deliberately and plannedly making it too big!

Regardless of Sanqi 21, first fill up the artistry, and then play a real performance with full marks, just ask, who else?

Who doesn’t have confidence in performance?

He, Mr. Xu, is great at everything, and his ability is naturally not small!

…………

While waiting for the official start-up, a few people gathered together and talked quietly.

"I'm a bit conflicted. I'm looking forward to Xu Nian turning over and providing material, but I also hope to see him fully shine."

"Sisters, wake up, you are a reporter, no matter what developments, you must try to capture the most topical material!"

"Yes, yes, yes, but what kind of development do you think is more popular?"

"No overturning is the most popular right now. Xu Nian's illiterate role is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is generally said that his performance is real. If the immersion of the scene is also good, it is definitely a talent and will explode."

"Is that so? But... aren't there a lot of people watching the show waiting for them to fall over?"

"It is precisely because of this that it becomes more popular. Think about it, what is the concept of breaking the defense of a rollover?"

"..."

Media reporters basically talk about their own interests.

I hope to have the opportunity to capture the most popular material.

Most of them have a neutral attitude.

They even tend to support Xu Nian's outstanding performance in order to obtain better hot material.

Naturally, different identity groups talk differently.

Some theatergoers just wanted to quickly witness whether Xu Nian's live performance was that exaggerated.

And some have already begun to comment.

"I'm afraid Xu Nian didn't expect to face such a situation directly after turning on the phone, right? Now we are in a dilemma."

"It shouldn't be a big problem. The first scene can't be too difficult. It's just nitpicking."

"Obviously that's the case. The main reason is that the lineup is too luxurious. Who can guess what everyone is thinking."

"I don't know if Xu Nian can still perform normally. At least he has to be picky."

"..."

There are also people who deliberately surround the other 'protagonist' Chung Ka Fai and the actor Long who came to support the guest appearance.

"I think Jiahui and Teacher Xu are familiar with each other. They say that his performance is real and natural, without leaving any trace. Is that true?"

"There will be a lot of scenes between Ka Fai and Mr. Xu in this drama..."

Facing such and such problems, Zhong Jiahui just laughed them off.

He still knows how much he weighs.

What is he talking about now?

To say the least, he, Chung Ka-fai, is just a young and somewhat capable actor.

Mr. Xu is the Best Actor of Baihua, a top domestic entertainment star, and a film investor.

Even if he doesn't look at anything, he has to look at who paid him the salary.

As for Movie Emperor Long, the situation is completely different.

"What role does Uncle Long play this time? Did you play with Mr. Xu?"

"Ms. Xu's performance is okay, will it make things difficult for Uncle Long?"

Actor Long: "You won't believe me no matter what I say now, so you might as well just watch it."

"Don't be too busy."

"..."

Dragon Movie Emperor is famous for his good temper, and his tone is not very difficult, rather indifferent.

However, those who support the fire still have their own resentments.

But now Meng Chao was walking around. He was quite conspicuous, so he couldn't get too close, so he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

'Did the disadvantages break out so quickly? '

'Didn't everyone carry the flowery sedan chairs before, but this time they will be fired after they are carried? '

'It's not a good thing to look too strong. It's hard to pretend to be a passerby. '

It was obvious that Meng Chao was logging in to Meng's mother's account at the moment, and he was extremely worried.

…………

…………

The sun is gradually setting in the middle, and on a corner of a street in Hong Kong, the set of the "Infernal Affairs" crew has been properly arranged.

Although there are many onlookers, everyone knows how to obey the order. Compared with before, now it is like a scene of primary school students sitting in a row.

How can you enjoy the show if it's chaotic...right?
As Li Cheng and Zhuang Hui entered the monitor area, the executive director and other staff on the set took their places.

As soon as the board was struck, the first shot of the first scene was officially shot...

Xu Nian, who said "action" without any makeup and still looking a little youthful, walked into the camera wearing a leather jacket.

His eyebrows are gentle.

His face was calm.

There's nothing particularly idle about his eyes.

Then, an old man in a shirt walked into the camera holding a one or two-year-old girl and stood beside Xu Nian.

The camera cleverly captured only the little girl looking at Xu Nian.

Looking at the cute little girl who was poking her head, Xu Nian couldn't help but smile on his face. He couldn't help but poked the little girl's face with his finger, and then walked out of the camera.

Then a girl walked into the camera with her back turned.

Then, Li Cheng shouted: "Stuck!"

Immediately, he was the first to applaud: "Okay, okay, pass one, tidy it up, and take the second one."

"Good luck starting."

Many crew members applauded in unison and celebrated: "Good luck with the launch, good luck with the launch."

"Teacher Xu, thank you for your hard work."

"..."

Xu Nian just gave a slight signal to everyone, and quickly went to a secluded place to start putting on makeup.

Adult 'Seo Young In' needs a little vicissitudes, and a little more beard.

At this moment Xu Nian just has a little beard, but not much.

The overall sense of 'vicissitudes of life' is not enough. In the future, not only do you have to grow your beard as much as possible, but you also have to adjust your condition... such as staying up late.

Make the facial condition more natural and tend to the vicissitudes of life.

Xu Nian obviously had no experience in staying up late, and he put forward different opinions at the time.

If Meng Chao, a rebellious boy, hadn't interrupted and said... Liver games are fine, Xu Nian would have really forgotten about it.

When Xu Nian went to put on makeup to prepare for the second scene, there was already more talk on the scene.

It was some celebrity groups who came to join in the fun to start the discussion.

"It does have a real and natural flavor, but I always feel like...that's it?"

"It's a decent opening scene. It's simple and stable, but it also uses a child, so it shouldn't be so simple."

"That's a matter of plot design. There's nothing to say just by watching the performance. The smile is natural and the movements are natural."

"I'm still a little disappointed. I thought there was going to be a big start, with multiple emotional changes, so that it would make people convinced..."

"It's actually very complicated, but you won't notice anything with just one or two glances. It will be more intuitive to look at it on the monitor."

"..."

It is not difficult to see that the atmosphere at the scene has begun to change a lot.It's nothing more than that.

Mainly, this scene is relatively short, and the emotional changes are not very clear. The point is... there are no lines.

So I really can't see anything.

Some even breathed a sigh of relief.

Look, in the past, the rumors on the Internet were all about packaging Xu Nian, but in fact they were just average.

Xumen?

Ha ha ha.

Some people's expressions began to become playful, and they could already imagine the atmosphere on the set later.

Xu Nian, who is the absolute core lead actor, can't hold back the scene, and he is afraid that there will be scenes on the set every day.

As for the media reporters, they have no time at all at the moment and are all busy editing news.

what……

"Xu Nian's new drama started smoothly"

"The performance of Xu Nian's new play is quite satisfactory"

“Xu Nian’s new play attracted countless people to watch”

"..."

The emphasis is different, the main thing is to let the heat sink in first and then talk about it.

After all, half of the domestic entertainment industry is here, the news has been flying all over the sky, and netizens are waiting for the next step.

Natural KPI...natural popularity.

Sure enough, as soon as the various news was released, it immediately triggered a massive amount of reading, forwarding and likes.

Although it doesn't have much substance, it is enough for everyone.

Don't you just want to know the latest progress?

.........

The change in the atmosphere of the crowd quickly spread to the dressing room.

Xu Nian, who had expected this kind of scene, was not surprised at all, but instead felt calmer.

For more than a year, he has been either filming or on the road to filming. He knows very well how to perform realistically.

Anyway, it was acted according to the split shots.

As long as there are no random thoughts in your mind and your mood is stable, you can perform well.

When he first filmed Tang Detective 1, Xu Nian really didn't quite understand what point Li Cheng was focusing on.

Now he's clearly in the clear.

In that natural state of true relaxation, you should smile like that.

Xu Nian also found his own way to reach that state... don't think about it.

To put it informally, it means having a clean and clear mind.

…………

…………

It's still the same street, but the location has moved a lot to the side, so the venue is in the middle of the street.

The first person to appear on camera is the role of May, the ex-girlfriend of 'Xu Yongren'.

She walked sideways into the camera, then looked in the direction of the camera, and then Xu Nian, who was obviously a bit vicissitudes of life, walked in with his back to the camera.

The camera made several cuts.

May smiled.

Xu Nian's voice came out first: "What a coincidence?"

May: "Yeah, I happened to be shopping around here."

The camera then switched to Xu Nian's perspective. He had a smile on his face and looked a little surprised.

The camera cut back and forth, and Xu Nian's expression began to change with the context.

"Are you still hanging out on the street?"

When May said these words, Xu Nian was silent, and the camera captured his loss...

After that, the daughter of 'Xu Yongren' appeared again. Xu Nian was a little surprised at first, then a smile appeared on his face, and he reached out and touched the little girl's face...

It took a total of just over 1 minute before the scene ended.

Li Cheng and Zhuang Hui, who were sitting behind the monitor, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Li Cheng raised his loudspeaker and shouted: "Okay, passed!"

"Let's call it a day in the morning."

"..."

There is still the same scene of laughter and laughter here, but... the atmosphere of the crowd has changed greatly.

Many people fell silent, especially those who were not theatergoers.

The silence at this moment can only be described as...deafening.

If they are not insiders, don't understand acting, and don't understand movies at all, then they can pretend that they don't understand.

if they……

Unfortunately, there was no if, so they were left in silence.

After all, my face hurts so much that I need silence to digest it.

Of course, when some people are silent, some people will sigh.

"Looking at these two scenes together, the protagonist's undercover character image is much more complete, a bit stronger..."

"Xu Nian's emotional changes were so natural and complete, as if it was just like that. I really don't know how to evaluate it."

"The movie title 'Infernal Affairs' only took two scenes to show it perfectly. The director is top-notch and Xu Nian's performance is unmatched!"

"It's no longer an area that I can evaluate. This should already be a famous scene!"

"It's no wonder Li Cheng is shaking more and more. It turned out that he hugged his thigh! Teacher Xu's performance level, I can do it!"

"..."

At this time, the media reporters were still writing reports, and they only regretted that they had no head and six arms.

Because as long as you are an audience, and as long as you know a little bit that this movie is a police movie, you can experience the effects of the two scenes.

Xu Nian stars as the protagonist in a police film and becomes a gangster on the road. There is no doubt that there is only one possibility for his identity... an undercover agent.

Coupled with the two scenes before and after, and a few obviously directional lines, anyone can imagine a story.

The background of the character 'Xu Yongren' is instantly clear.

So...media reporters can’t wait to use all their adjectives to write articles.

Because not only is it due to their status, they also urgently need to use various channels to vent the emotions they just felt at the scene!

.........

Perhaps because the writers were so emotional, the news quickly ignited social media networks.

Sparked a lot of discussion.

"What happened today? Are the media all living on the set? What's wrong with this wording? It's so exaggerated?"

"Are you telling me that Xu Nian has secured the Golden Rooster Best Actor?"

"Is the scene so shocking? It climaxed in one or two scenes? What on earth did you do? Is Xu Nian's acting so evil?"

"What an exaggerated wording, what do you think of heaven and hell, what look of sadness? Isn't it just about turning on the phone today?"

"I have never seen these media outlets use exaggerated words to make things happen. Are they trying to praise Xu Nian?"

"That's not right. Xu Nian's current position as a celebrity is useless even if he is praised. He is not a top-notch person."

"This group of media knows how to play with emotions, and it makes me feel itchy."

"..."

All in all, the situation is developing very interestingly.

The title of "Infernal Affairs" has not yet been revealed, but it has been on the front row of hot searches again and again.

All with a simple code name...

'Xu Nian's new play'

When the publicity of "Infernal Affairs" officially starts in the future, it will save trouble, just mention "Xu Nian's new drama" and immediately wake up the memory.

Simply a win-win situation.

…………

The work on the set began to end, and the surrounding excitement began to slowly dissipate.

Some people with thin skin have quietly left the scene in a face-painful silence.

There are still some who can still insist on 'looking on the sidelines'.

However, the media reporters who had obtained enough materials were dispersing with satisfaction.

I have almost completed the KPI for the month today, and I can live a more relaxed life from now on.

It was a wonderful ending that they had never imagined before coming.

Later, Li Cheng held a luncheon on behalf of the crew and invited guests from all over to have a drink.

A banquet has already been prepared on the famous peninsula.

Although he invested by himself, Li Cheng had never fought such a rich battle in his life, so he didn't feel bad at all.

After some of the inevitable procedures at the banquet were completed, Actor Long raised his glass first and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu taught me a lesson today!"

"It's really wonderful. I'm very optimistic that this drama will go abroad and go international. Good art must be unfettered."

Xu Nian quickly said a few words of modesty.

Dragon Movie Emperor's attitude was still very clear, and he didn't hide his love for Xu Nian.

His favor and platform still carry a lot of weight.

For example, the atmosphere at the banquet quickly became much more harmonious, and everyone laughed and agreed.

"Yes, 'Eternal Purgatory' was fully demonstrated in just two scenes. It's simply unimaginable."

"I heard that Teacher Xu specifically suggested adding foreplay to achieve such a progressive effect."

“The startup was perfect and it will only get better from now on!”

"Teacher Xu's performance style is indeed unique. I have poor eyesight and can't see any traces of the performance at all. It's so real and surprising!"

"..."

Nothing else could be heard at this moment, only...praise.

It can be described as flowers and applause all the way.

Later, some people came to Xu Nian with wine glasses and expressed some apologies tactfully.

I feel very upset about some of my preconceived ideas.

Those who can come to the banquet are those who no longer care whether their face hurts or not and need to repair it.

All in all, it was a happy dinner.

…………

Mr. Xu's effect of opening big at the beginning is very good.

Shooting started again in the afternoon, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and harmonious.

The first scene is a scene in which Best Actor Long participates in a guest appearance, which is a relatively large group scene.

Fortunately, Li Cheng, Zhuang Hui and the main crew members are all experienced directors and have good coordination skills.

Start shooting in minutes.

This kind of group portrait scenes are very simple and only require a few seconds of footage.

Although Li Cheng habitually made arrangements to ensure a few things, he did not delay for too long and ended in minutes.

Obviously, Movie King Long's guest role has also been finalized.

Everyone smiled and bid farewell to Dragon Actor, and continued to complete the shooting of various guest scenes step by step.

Oh, yes, Actor Long is not the first one to be completed. The first guest actor to be completed in this film is the person who plays May.

But... Mr. Xu didn't even act, he couldn't wait to start his second uncle's routine on the set.

Actors from all walks of life cooperated with Yan Xiaoyan.

Regardless of the fact that most of them are simple guest appearances, Xu Nian has no interest in changing his habits because of others.

Interestingly, all the work of the crew has become smoother than ever...
