They have become goddess husbands, who needs a superstar system

Chapter 565 Huang Feihong (two in one)

Yang Yi didn't care much about the ups and downs on the Internet, because the New Year was over. After he and Li Mengfei sent the little taro paste back to the kindergarten and handed it over to grandma Li Aiyi to take care of, they flew to Dali and started work in the new year. .

The filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is scheduled to start in late March, but before that, the crew organized the actors to undergo 20 days of basic martial arts training.

Yang Yi and Li Mengfei also participated. Even though they practice a lot, Li Mengfei, under the guidance of Yang Yi, is able to perform some decent and clean martial arts routines. However, as the two leading actors of this TV series, they still set an example and compare the previous "Dragon Movie" 》The good atmosphere left behind will continue.

During the basic martial arts training, a traditional martial arts actor was also invited by Deng Xingyong and flew from the capital to Dali to audition.

"Teacher Xie Cheng, thank you for your hard work. It's all my fault. I didn't think about this in the capital before, and now I want you to come all the way to Dali!" Yang Yi drove to pick up Xie Cheng personally.

The actor Yang Yi calls Teacher Xie Cheng is actually not too old. He was born in 1984 and is only forty-five years old this year.

However, Yang Yi calls this "teacher" sincerely, because Xie Cheng has been acting longer than Li Mengfei, and has even almost caught up with Yang Yi's age - because as early as 1993, he was only nine years old Xie Chengcheng was selected by a director in Hong Kong City to act with the top martial arts star Li Kit.

Xie Cheng, who started his career as a child actor, was also very popular. He starred in many movies and TV series at a young age, and was even regarded as Li Jeter's successor. But he has not been able to stay popular. Like many child stars who appear briefly and then quickly disappear from the public, although Xie Cheng is still working hard in acting, he is simply unable to stand out in today's ever-changing entertainment industry.

It can even be said that except for some movie fans born in the 80s and 90s who still have a little impression of him, few young people can recognize him!

There are many reasons for Xie Cheng's failure.

"Teacher Xie Cheng, this is the script of the scene you are going to audition for. Please take a look at it first. There is no rush to audition today. We will not have training tomorrow afternoon. I will arrange for you to audition then."

But under this general trend, traditional martial arts actors like Xie Cheng, who are good at martial arts and insist on doing real things, really don't have much room for development. There are no scenes to shoot, or the scenes he shoots are not cool or popular. Xie Cheng's success in recent years is not even as good as an Internet celebrity who sells goods through live broadcasts.

But Xie Cheng is a martial arts actor. He loves martial arts and his identity as a martial arts actor. He has been unwilling to actively seek change for so many years, so he has "imprisoned" himself in this declining circle.

Therefore, he has long lost the pride he had back then. When I saw Yang Yi today, Xie Cheng kept his posture very low, bent down to hold Yang Yi's extended hand, and said respectfully: "Director Yang, don't say that, I'm very excited to receive your audition invitation. Now! Isn’t it normal to take a flight? We filming people fly back and forth all year round, so we are used to it!"

Yang Yi sent Xie Cheng to the hotel where he was staying, handed him the prepared script, and then left.

Xie Cheng didn't dare to neglect. He walked Yang Yi to the elevator. After watching Yang Yi leave, he quickly closed the door and returned to the bedside, picked up the script and studied it carefully.

When he went to Hong Kong City to film, the martial arts movies in Hong Kong City just happened to set off a wave of Once Upon a Time craze! Not only was his "partner" and martial arts superstar Li Jeter who was also his mentor and friend, played Wong Fei Hung, there were also endless stories of Wong Fei Hung and Wong Fei Hung.

Even if Yang Yi's movies are great at the box office, the important thing is that he also won an Oscar, a Berlin Golden Bear, and was named the Berlin Best Actor some time ago.

The thin face, protruding cheekbones, small eyes, thin lips, tanned skin, and a ring of beard around the lips give people the impression that they are almost as good as those peasant uncles in the northwest countryside!

Of course, there are actually many supporting actors who have a bad image but are successful in the film and television industry, and are even loved by netizens.

According to incomplete statistics, there were close to 20 Huang Feihong-related movies produced in Hong Kong in the 1990s, and they seemed to have broken some record.

Xie Cheng shouldn’t be too familiar with the name Huang Feihong!

Ironically, many of Xie Cheng's box office results were contributed by the movies he shot in Hong Kong in the last century. Nowadays, few of the movies he has made can be released in theaters. If they are, the box office results are so bad that he is embarrassed to mention them.

Xie Cheng knows very well how powerful Yang Yi is. Not to mention the TV series "Dragon" which have become popular all over the country, any movie made by Yang Yi has a higher box office than all the movies he has made before. The combined box office revenue of the movies is a lot!

"Once Upon a Time in China? "Once Upon a Time in China: Men Should Be Strong". Director Yang is going to make a movie about Huang Feihong!"

If you don’t look at the rekindled martial arts craze in the past two years due to “Dragon Movie”, the decline of martial arts movies and even martial arts-related film and television dramas is indeed a major trend in the past two decades.

Xie Cheng didn't dare to underestimate the young man in front of him.

For example, he has become "crooked". Compared with his cute and tiger-like head when he was a child, Xie Cheng can't even be called good-looking when he grows up. To say that he looks mature and anxious is to be polite and true. The situation is that the longer he grows, the uglier he becomes.

Seeing the title on the top of the script, Xie Cheng couldn't help but touch the stubble on his chin.

It’s hard to tell whether the downturn in this market is due to the impetuous atmosphere brought about by the previous traffic era, which caused many crews to use traffic stars without any acting skills or martial arts skills to play the so-called new martial arts, or whether it is due to the rise of other types of movies and TV series Too Fast was loved by the audience and took up space in martial arts films.

How could Xie Cheng not be envious of such a world-renowned achievement? He couldn't even be jealous, because he didn't think he could match them. He could only feel that his own era had long passed and would never return.

Yang Yi didn't say that he invited Xie Cheng here just to decide what role he would play. Even if Xie Cheng was the martial arts actor recommended by Yang Yi's master Deng Xingyong, Yang Yi still wanted to take a look at Xie Cheng's acting performance.

Even in the 21st century, Xie Cheng has acted in two movies related to Huang Feihong, but he did not play Huang Feihong, but played a supporting role in it.

Of course, the craze for Once Upon a Time is long gone now, and the movies related to Once Upon a Time that were made later did not make any splash at all.

Why does Yang Yi still want to make a movie called "Once Upon a Time in China"?

Of course Xie Cheng could not have imagined that Yang Yi would not just make one Huang Feihong-themed movie, but he also planned to make three movies, and like "Saw", three movies in one go!

It was only the second part that Xie Cheng auditioned for, but it was enough to surprise Xie Cheng.

Restarting the Once Upon a Time theme, is this the confidence of a great director?

Xie Chenggang wanted to question it, but when he thought of Yang Yi's previous achievements in film and television works, he immediately changed his mind.

No matter how bad the movie made by Yang Yi is, it will still have a box office of hundreds of millions, right?

Thinking of this, the envious Xie Cheng immediately cheered up. He quickly moved his eyes to the text of the script and read it carefully.

Xie Cheng was very immersed in studying the script. When his wife made a video call, Xie Cheng was in a trance and left the world of the script.

"Why is it almost seven o'clock? I just lost track of time when I was reading the script."

"I haven't eaten. I have to go have dinner quickly. The hotel has a buffet dinner. Director Yang just told me that it seems to be available until 7:30!"

"Okay, goodbye wife, goodbye Doudou, you have to obey your mother at home, you know?"

Xie Cheng hung up the video call and hurriedly took out his room card and went out. The hotel's cafeteria is on the third floor. Xie Cheng, who was thinking about the fight between Huang Feihong and Nalan Yuanshu just now, picked up some food on a plate, found a corner, and ate with his head down.

He didn't care at all about the taste of the food he ate. All he could think about was how Nalan Yuanshu and Huang Feihong would fight, and how to use the stick in a beautiful and exciting way!

Suddenly a figure appeared in front of him, shaking his distracted vision.

"Hey, aren't you Xie Cheng? Teacher Xie Cheng!" The man called out in surprise, his voice full of joy and enthusiasm.

Xie Cheng looked up and found a man uglier than himself!

However, compared to Xie Cheng's stern and bitter expression, the other party obviously loves to smile more. Those clean and white teeth, and the corners of his eyes that wrinkle when he smiles, give people the feeling of not only being rustic, but also Honest, simple and very friendly!

Xie Cheng took a closer look and saw that this man was not a stranger, he knew him!

Or to be precise, he saw it on a movie!

This man has appeared in "The Wandering Earth" and "The Long Season", and he was also the leading actor in "I'm Not a Passerby" which became popular last year!

"Xu Xiaoqiang?" Xie Cheng called out Xu Xiaoqiang's name.

This made Xu Xiaoqiang a little flattered.

"Teacher Xie Cheng, do you still know me?" Xu Xiaoqiang scratched his head in embarrassment.

It was originally a star-chasing scene, but it turned out that the big star he liked actually knew him. Xu Xiaoqiang didn't know where to put his hands.

"I know, I remember you had an interview video last year. You told the reporter that you were actually a martial arts actor, and you learned martial arts at the Shaolin Martial Arts School." Xie Cheng politely invited Xu Xiaoqiang to sit down opposite him.

Xu Xiaoqiang's butt just touched the stool. When he heard that Xie Cheng knew him so well, he couldn't sit still.

"Teacher Xie Cheng, you still know this! I, I don't even know." Xu Xiaoqiang was not an eloquent person to begin with.

"Don't be so polite. Let's just call each other by name. We are all martial arts students and love the profession of martial arts actors." Xie Cheng said with a smile.

He also didn't dare to underestimate Xu Xiaoqiang. After all, Xu Xiaoqiang starred in a movie with a box office of 1.1 billion, a figure that was also difficult for him to reach.

Not to mention, Xu Xiaoqiang is much more popular than him now!

Even if we don't mention "I'm Not a Passerby" starring Xu Xiaoqiang, in "The Wandering Earth" which is still in theaters, the supporting role of He Lianke played by Xu Xiaoqiang is deeply loved by the audience!

It is worth mentioning that although later He Lianke desperately plugged in the plug in the computer room when he was seriously injured, making up a key link in trying to ignite Jupiter. This scene was very touching, but earlier He Lianke vomited on the bumpy transport vehicle. The scene where he gave Tim a helmet and then looked at him with a mean smile, and unjustly snatched Tim's clean helmet, left a deep impression on the audience.

Xu Xiaoqiang showed his amazing comedy talent in this plot!

"Teacher Xie Cheng, are you here to play "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" too? Why are you here today?" Xu Xiaoqiang asked straightforwardly.

""The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?" Xie Cheng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly responded, "No, I am not an actor in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"."

He knew about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and also knew that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was going to be filmed in Dali.

Deng Xingyong, who recommended him for the audition, was the action director of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the previous "Dragon Movie"!

Xie Cheng was also very interested in this drama, but unfortunately, he had no channel before to get into the spotlight of Yang Yi and Liao Chunsheng's casting. It was also because of the movie "Once Upon a Time: Men Should Be Strong" that Yang Yi needed to find a martial arts actor with strong stick skills to play Nalan Yuanshu. Deng Xingyong remembered Xie Cheng, who he had worked with a long time ago, and asked Yang Yi recommended him, and Xie Cheng had the opportunity to cooperate with Yang Yi.

Of course, it's just an audition opportunity at the moment. Xie Cheng can only stay if he passes the audition!

"I received an invitation from director Yang Yi to audition for a movie he is going to make later." Xie Cheng said, looking at Xu Xiaoqiang with a somewhat envious look.

Xu Xiaoqiang is also ugly, so why is he so lucky?

Xie Cheng remembered that Xu Xiaoqiang was recognized as his younger brother by Yang Yi's brother, the well-known director Liao Chunsheng, who was also trained by Mumu Film and Television. Therefore, Xu Xiaoqiang is basically an actor directly affiliated with Mumu Film and Television. Judging from the current development of Mumu Film and Television, Xu Xiaoqiang has no shortage of acting roles at all.

Take "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as an example. Yang Yi and Li Mengfei will definitely play the leading roles, but Liao Chunsheng, as the director of this TV series, has no problem arranging a good supporting role for Xu Xiaoqiang.

Xie Cheng has relatively deep self-confidence in kung fu. He has studied hard since he was a child, and coupled with his own talent, he does not think that Xu Xiaoqiang, who was born in the Shaolin Martial Arts School, can be better than him.

But the situation in life is so wonderful. If Xu Xiaoqiang meets a noble person, the road ahead will go smoothly.

Xie Cheng had met noble people before, and that was how he achieved his brilliance as a child.

Now that he has gone through all the hardships in the world and tasted the warmth and warmth of human kindness, after Xie Cheng became envious, he has also become very magnanimous.

If you don’t have such good luck, then continue to work hard on your own!

Even if you don't have such good grades, as long as you keep doing what you like, life won't be too difficult.

"Brother Yang's next movie? Could it be Huang..." Xu Xiaoqiang immediately thought of something after hearing his story, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he quickly closed his mouth.

Xu Xiaoqiang is indeed a bit frank and sincere, but he is not stupid.

The movies that Yang Yi was going to make needed to be kept secret for now and could not be spoken out casually. Xu Xiaoqiang still understood. When he realized that he had almost leaked the secret, he quickly shut up.

"Yes, you know Xiaoqiang too?" The word "yellow" was enough, Xie Cheng asked in surprise.

"I know, Teacher Xie Cheng originally wanted to audition for this movie. Well, Teacher Xie Cheng, I can't talk to you anymore. How about this? After your audition is over tomorrow, I'll treat you to dinner!"

Xu Xiaoqiang scratched his head. He didn't tell Xie Cheng that not only did he know about the Once Upon a Time movie series, he was also the main supporting role in it, and he was also arranged by Yang Yi to be the assistant director of these movies!

With this status, Xu Xiaoqiang consciously distanced himself from Xie Cheng.

Simply, he didn't want others to misunderstand that he had contact with other actors in private, and he didn't want to leave the impression that he had transgressed behavior on Brother Yang Yi.

Moreover, what if he and Xie Cheng had a good chat, and Xie Cheng wanted to use him to establish a relationship to get certain roles?

It was the first time for an older girl to get into a sedan chair as an assistant director. Xu Xiaoqiang quickly said goodbye to the confused Xie Cheng and left the cafeteria.
