Full-time actor

Chapter 173 [174] Tianlong is finished, Xiangjiang’s opportunity!

"This movie is quite good. Why is the box office so low?"

After leaving the cinema next to Dali University, Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu with a puzzled expression. This girl actually secretly bought three movie tickets for "Cara is a Dog" behind his back.

Tianlongbabu Film and Television City is on the mountain behind Dali University, so it's just a short walk away.

The three of them had just finished watching "Kara is a Dog" and were now walking back to the accommodation area in the movie city.

"The film is scheduled. There is no film scheduled. Look, you can only buy tickets three days in advance!"

Chen Yu did not tell Liu Yifei about the film schedule, but she was quite concerned about the box office of "Kara".

"I thought it was hard to get a ticket...I didn't think it would be so hard to get a ticket!"

"You can't even buy tickets for "Heroes"..."

Liu Yifei obviously doesn't understand the film schedule yet. Even those who are not in the film and television industry will basically know this. But now in 02, it is a word that is rarely exposed.

"Are you going to finish filming soon?"

Chen Yu suddenly asked her, "Wang Yuyan and Dali" don't have many plots, they only have a few scenes between the princess and Duan Yu.

"Yes, it will be completed the day after tomorrow!"

"Then I have to go back to school to prepare for the semester exam!"

The first semester of Chinese Opera is coming to an end at the end of January. In addition to the assessment of various subjects, each student in the performance department has to prepare for a big play.

It can be a sketch, a musical, or a TV excerpt. Anyway, it is a performance organized together. This is also the most important exam in the performance department every year, and department leaders and others will be present.

When you graduate as a senior, you still have to prepare for the graduation drama, which is the most dazzling moment in the career of an acting student. Many directors in the industry will even come to select actors.

"Semester exam..."

Chen Yu really almost forgot about this these days: "When will the exam be taken?"

"It'll look like the 25th of next month, the specific time hasn't been announced yet!"

"That's okay, there's still time!"

"Dragon" will be finished around the 15th of next month, and Chen Yu still has time to prepare.

"Tongyuan told me before that I would ask you to put on a skit, just like the one in "Not Short of Money" in our art exam..."

Liu Yifei didn't even have time to tell Chen Yu about this matter, but she was considerate. Chen Yu was quite busy recently, so there was no need to distract him.

No matter how talented you are, you have to give people a break, right?

There was a road show for the release of the new movie, so she came to Yunnan to film without a moment's rest, and had to rehearse with her at night. Thinking about it, Liu Yifei felt that Chen Yu was very tired; she was working hard, but she was all studying, and she didn't need to move at all. of.

Chen Yu was running around, exhausted physically and mentally.

So Liu Yifei had actually been holding back on this matter for many days. Then he suddenly remembered it and mentioned it.

"Row!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Yu answered quite readily, as if it didn't matter at all.

Liu Yifei couldn't bear to say: "Why do you always agree so readily? I've never seen you refuse..."

"Isn't that what you said? You don't even look for me when you read nursery rhymes!"

Chen Yu laughed. He really thought Tong Yao was quite interesting. Did he see something?

Otherwise, why would every message have to go through Liu Yifei?

"It's not a rush anyway, there's still a month left..."

"Ok!"

The two of them were walking along the path in the mountains, illuminated by dim street lights, which was quite interesting.

Liu Xiaoli surprisingly walked in front, but her ears were perked up, listening to what Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were saying. Unexpectedly, the two of them were actually talking about studying, which surprised Liu Xiaoli.

"Director Zhou and Producer Zhang had a conflict, did you know that?"

Liu Yifei suddenly whispered to Chen Yu, and Chen Yu nodded: "I know, Director Zhou hasn't been here for many days. Isn't there a new director from Xiangjiang?"

"Yes, this...will this affect the progress?"

Liu Yifei was actually quite worried, fearing that all the previous filming would overwhelm the reshoots. After all, there was a new director and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Don't think too much, it's okay!"

"That director from Xiangjiang is not even old enough!"

This is true. Although the director of Xiangjiang has strong qualifications, his ability is really not as strong as Zhou Xiaowen, who graduated from the Nortel directing department. There are some parts of the TV series "Dragon" that are funny because they were not shot by the same director. of.

Director Xiang Jiang focuses on fighting, but Zhou Xiaowen is good at literary drama, and he is good at filming the love between children.

The fighting scenes in "Dragon" are really not that great, but the literary dramas are remarkable, much better than TVB.

This is indeed Zhou Xiaowen’s contribution.

"Producer Zhang is used to speaking his mind, so it's normal for him to have some disputes with the chief director; he had been busy with things in the studio before, but now that he's finished, he will definitely take care of the crew's affairs..."

Zhang Dabeard is a troublemaker. The more he stirs things up, the worse the filming becomes.

"The Condor" was his last highlight. After that, "The Deer and the Cauldron" and "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" were worse than the last; "Water Margin" was quite impressive, but there were seven or eight production companies, and he I can't make the decision at all.

Afterwards, the two of them chatted all the way and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Liu Yifei's role will be completed soon, so there is no need for him to act opposite her again.

Half a month passed by in a flash.

After Liu Yifei finished filming, she returned to the Chinese Theater Academy to study, and what Chen Yu is currently filming is his last scene in Tianlong.

"Don't miss the good opportunity, watch the sword with concentration, observe and learn by yourself!"

"Does not violate the teachings of our ancestors!"

The eminent monk of Tianlong Temple was mumbling words, but Chen Yu was holding an ancient scroll and reading nervously.

The scene he was filming now was the scene where Jiumozhi went to Tianlong Temple to ask for the Six Meridians Divine Sword, and Duan Yu took the opportunity to learn this magical skill.

"Jue Liang, did I say it wrong? Yu Tsai's literary dramas are better than his martial arts dramas!"

Yuan Bin sat next to Gu Jue Liang, the newly arrived director from Hong Kong. The two of them were familiar with each other, and they were both staring at Chen Yu's performance on the monitor.

"Well, his acting skills are very good. You let me watch his martial arts drama before, and his martial arts skills are also solid!"

“This is indeed the first time I’ve seen such an actor!”

Generally speaking, the acting skills of martial arts actors are not too outstanding. Cheng Long, Jet Li, etc., it is not that they have no acting skills, but they can only be said to be okay; while those with good acting skills, such as Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Tony Leung Ka-fai, have average skills.

There is no actor who can do both; Wang Baoqiang could actually do this, but... his looks were not good enough.

Chen Yu is indeed an exception at the moment. "Do you want to drag him to Xiangjiang for development?"

Gu Jueliang looked at the monitor carefully and subconsciously asked Yuan Bin. Both of them spoke in Cantonese.

"Yes I do!"

"It's a pity that after asking him several times, he has no such plan..."

"The filming of this scene will be finished soon. I don't know if there will be a chance to cooperate next time!"

Yuan Bin has been in contact with Chen Yu's filming for so many days, and he has indeed developed a love for talents; as Gu Jueliang just said, Chen Yu is the only actor these days who can both act and fight.

An absolute rarity.

"What, are you going back to Hong Kong?"

"Well, Johnnie To asked me to go back and make a few movies to get involved in the underworld. He told me several times!"

"Oh, Galaxy Video is great, it's better than mainland TV series..."

"Originally, I was looking for Brother Dong, but Brother Dong pushed me because he had no time!"

"Wow, Brother Dong is so awesome now. "Hero" is so popular that he will probably be shortlisted in Hollywood..."

The Dong brother mentioned by these two people is Cheng Xiaodong, the second best martial artist in the world after Yuan Heping. He is the martial arts director of the currently popular "Hero"; some people also say that Cheng Xiaodong's martial arts scenes look better than Yuan Heping's. More dazzling.

Yuan Heping focused on the artistic conception of martial arts, while Cheng Xiaodong focused on the visual aspect of fighting.

Yuan Bin has been Cheng Xiaodong's deputy for many years. He did not choose to hang out with Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao and Yuan Heping. He is very arrogant personally and appreciates Cheng Xiaodong's action scenes.

"Then you say goodbye to this kid, or give him some roles with Johnnie To..."

Ju Jueliang laughed and picked up the speaker: "Click!"

Chen Yu's last scene was successfully completed. Gu Jueliang has become very familiar with Chen Yu these days. He wore a hat and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Yu Zai, congratulations on finishing!"

"It's finished!"

Chen Yu can understand the spoken Cantonese anyway.

clap clap clap!

The staff next to him immediately gave Chen Yu warm applause, and some even sent flowers.

In fact, Chen Yu was very hardworking and dedicated during the past few months of filming.

"Thank you, thank you everyone!"

Chen Yu was quite touched when he told the truth. Liu Yifei didn't seem to be like this before she left, right?

However, this is indeed the longest and most tiring drama he has shot. The martial arts scenes are indeed much more difficult to shoot than the literary dramas, but after filming, I am not as melancholy as before.

Maybe it’s because I’m familiar with shooting.

It may also be that the role of Duan Yu is much easier for Chen Yu to play than the previous extreme characters.

"Brother Xie Liang!"

Chen Yu hugged director Gu Jueliang deeply, who came forward to congratulate him, but he saw Yuan Bin beside him.

"Congratulations, Yuzai!"

Yuan Bin smiled at him: "Is it finished? It's not easy!"

"good!"

Chen Yu nodded.

"Do you have any plans for next year?"

Yuan Bin actually had something to do with him?

After Chen Yu thought for a while, he said: "It will be available in February or March, but not yet!"

I’m going to Berlin in February, and during that time I should be filming Huo Jianqi’s “Warm”!

"Okay, let's talk about it in April!"

"If I have a suitable role here, would you take it?"

Yuan Bin stood up with a smile, but Ju Jue Liang on the side came up to him: "Du Qifeng, this one from Xiangjiang!"

Gu Jueliang was afraid that Chen Yu wouldn't know Du Qifeng's name, so he gave him a thumbs up.

Of course Chen Yu knew about Du Qifeng.

This director is indeed one of the few in Hong Kong who can handle both commercial and literary films; some have been hits at the box office, and some have been shortlisted for the best films in three major film festivals, and more than one of them has been nominated.

Three in Venice, two in Cannes, and one in Berlin.

Although none of them won awards, six films were shortlisted, which is enough to show the strength of each other.

He is not like the King of Sunglasses, who prefers literature and photography, but ignores the plot; the movies he makes are very miscellaneous and rich. Chen Yu has actually seen a lot of them in his previous life, especially the "Gunfire" trilogy and Underworld series, can be regarded as some of his most glorious films.

"Director Du, I know the great director!"

"Brother Bin, do you want to cooperate with him?"

"Well, the next few movies should be all about him, and the mainland is going to slow down!"

Yuan Bin smiled, and Chen Yu immediately said: "Congratulations to Brother Bin. Director Du's movies are all big productions!"

"I've left a role for you, do you want to try it..."

"I definitely want to!"

Of course Chen Yu's words were polite.

With his current reputation, he would definitely have to get a role from scraps. With so many local actors to choose from in Hong Kong, who would get a mainlander like him?

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll ask you questions when I get back!"

"If you want something suitable, you must come!"

Yuan Bin smiled, and Chen Yu readily agreed: "Okay!"

"Then I'm leaving. I came just to tell you!"

Yuan Bin waved to Chen Yu and walked outside casually. Chen Yu had finished filming and was about to leave. After saying goodbye to the entire crew, Chen Yu returned to his place of residence and began to pack up.

hum-

The cell phone rang on time. Chen Yu thought it belonged to Liu Yifei. She found out that she had finished her filming today.

Unexpectedly, it was Teacher Chang Li.

Do you push yourself to go to class or take a test?

Chen Yu thought of this and answered the phone with some anxiety.
