Chapter 136: Zhou Xingchi's Distress
Update time: 13-11-05
The way he wanted to tell Zhou Xingchi came from his own "memory".
The trajectory of fate is always similar. In the last life, the Shaolin football crew also encountered this problem.Everyone looked at the empty seats in Jiangwan Stadium, and it hurt their brains. After a long time of distress, they came up with a solution.
He is confident that Zhou Xingchi will accept his current thoughts.
In the afternoon, there were some small reshoots, which were not his business, and he quickly found Zhou Xingchi.
When Zhou Xingchi was not on stage, he personally sat in front of the camera, and when he saw Lin Xiao approaching, he immediately arranged for a group performer.
Most of the reshoots were scenes with little technical content and few lines. They were filmed very quickly, and the day's filming ended before five o'clock.
Those who moved the machine moved the machine, those who dismantled the set dismantled the set, and the studio was busy with the last work before closing.
"Director Zhou." Lin Xiao walked to Zhou Xingchi's side and greeted him.
The former king of comedy, his brows were furrowed, looking at the empty stadium, wondering what he was thinking.To Lin Xiao's greeting, he just nodded casually.
Lin Xiao pondered for a while. He was thinking about how to speak, but after much deliberation, he found that it was better to be straight to the point.
Zhou Xingchi's personality is changeable, and he is paranoid about the film. Even if he thinks of the perfect starting move, he still can't think of what move the other party will use next. It's better to say it clearly from the beginning.
"Director Zhou is still worried about Jiangwan Stadium?" He asked with a smile.
In an instant, Zhou Xingchi's eyes shot over.The annoyance just now had disappeared from his eyes, replaced by the prudence, vigilance, and even a trace of anger that had been experienced in the entertainment circle.
"Give me a reason." His voice also turned cold, and he said without a trace of emotion.
Even if he didn't say it, Lin Xiao could guess that the other party was talking, give him a reason to guess what he was thinking.
"Director Zhou, don't worry, although I have just entered the circle, I am still very clear about what to do and what not to do. I will never read Zhao Wei's script. I only have my own script in hand."
Zhou Xingchi looked at him distrustingly for a while, then said coldly, "Then how do you know the continuation of the plot?"
"It's actually very simple, Director Zhou." Lin Xiao laughed. "My match was a semi-final, which means there will definitely be a final. It's impossible for the final to be filmed in a stadium in a residential area, right?"
"En." Zhou Xingchi nodded, and uttered a single syllable, motioning him to continue.
"Since it's a football game, there must be spectators. It's impossible for a football match to have less than a hundred spectators, right? But if extra performers are hired, the number may be astronomical. I just watched Director Zhou think about the stadium, and I'm afraid it's Did you think of this?" Although it was a question sentence, Lin Xiao said it with confidence.
Zhou Xingchi was silent, and after a while he smiled wryly, and heaved a long sigh as if meeting a bosom friend, "Am I acting so obvious?"
"No, not at all." Lin Xiao said with a smile, "I just guessed because Director Zhou had thought about it for a long time."
"You are a smart person." Zhou Xingchi gave him a meaningful look, "You were laughing just now. That's why I let you continue."
Lin Xiao listened attentively to this sentence without beginning or end.
"Send you a word, smile, is the most used expression by artists, whether you like it or not, even if you are crying and laughing." Zhou Xingchi said lightly, "Okay, you can tell your reason for coming, you won't Come and talk to me just to guess what I think? I don’t have that much time.”
At this moment, Zhou Xingchi seemed to be a heavenly king, far from Zhou Xingchi who had one thought every moment in the "headgear incident".
Lin Xiao froze for a moment, he couldn't even tell which was his real form.If the previous performance was sincere, then he can only be described by the words "great wisdom and foolishness".
"Sure enough, the superstars who have been around for more than ten years are all good people!" He secretly despised for a moment, but still smiled and said, "Director Zhou, I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."
"Oh? You have a solution?" Hearing these words, Zhou Xingchi's eyes flashed a gleam, "Look, I've been thinking of a solution since I won the Jiangwan Stadium, but the several million dollars are going to the group performers." , It’s not what I want to see. If you want to say this, then you don’t need to say it.”
"Of course not." Lin Xiao didn't say it directly, but asked, "Director Zhou, what do you think about using ordinary people to act?"
"No!" Zhou Xingchi denied it in one gulp, with a look of disappointment on his face, and sighed, "Although these ordinary people with a 'meat background' are fully capable, but if they are asked to cry out at a certain time, or to marvel at a certain time, is it still possible?" It is absolutely impossible to have a special reaction at a certain time!"
He frowned and glanced at Lin Xiao, "I've thought about this method a long time ago. The masses don't have the qualities of an actor at all, and they can't follow orders and prohibitions. What do I want to do here?"
Lin Xiao was not disappointed in the slightest. He knew that in the last life, it was the mobilization of the masses, combined with computer post-synthesis and special effects, that made the stadium full of seats!
"What if it was voluntary by the people?" He said with a smile.
"Voluntary? Don't give us a penny, but still volunteer at our request?" Zhou Xingchi shook his head loudly, "Lin Xiao, you are overthinking. Anyone can be an actor, but not everyone can be an actor."
"Others can't, but Director Zhou, you can!" Lin Xiao said firmly.
Looking at the other party's serious face, Zhou Xingchi also restrained his sorrow, and he intuitively told him that the other party was not joking.
Is there really a way to get the masses to act voluntarily?And obey all the orders of the crew?
In the past few days, he has been thinking hard and has not come up with a solution. He naturally requires perfection in the movie that he invested all his money in. The cost of several million extras is not in his consideration at all, because it has greatly exceeded expectations.
So when he heard that there was an acupuncture point coming to him, he almost drove the other party out.
But now, can there be a turning point?Although let the crowd automatically fill the stadium without paying, and still obey his command?
It sounds like a fantasy.But it also made him involuntarily say, "Tell me?"
"Director Zhou, you are a heavenly king and a superstar. It can be said that many people of our generation grew up watching your movies." Lin Xiao said sincerely.
No one doesn't like to listen to good words, and this kind of recognition of strength made Zhou Xingchi smile, "Don't think that you can get over it with lip service, if there is no good way, I won't agree."
"First of all, I want to ask Director Zhou to agree to one thing." Lin Xiao said solemnly, "If this method works, the crew must open it up during filming, even if reporters come in and see it, otherwise, this method will be useless. "
"I agree." Zhou Xingchi thought about it for a while, "You should talk about your method first."
"Second, I think everyone should participate in this matter, because it cannot be done by one or two people."
"no problem."
"The third point..."
"Okay!" Zhou Xingchi's superstar demeanor just flew out of the sky in an instant, and said with a smile, "buzz buzz buzz, you're so tall! Do you think you are Luo Jiaying? It's been so many years since Journey to the West, how can there be such a long-winded person! "
Lin Xiao was also amused, just now he really looked like a Tang monk.
"I agree to everything, you just talk about it." Zhou Xingchi found a place to sit down, dumbfounded, "I haven't gotten to the point after talking for a long time, and my appetite is hanged by you."
"Then I'll just say it straight." Lin Xiao said with a smile, "My solution is to announce the filming location and publicize it, but the slogan reads 'Zhou Xingchi's first trinity movie, fulfill your movie dream, the last scene , you exist!"
Zhou Xingchi moved his mouth, but unexpectedly he didn't deny it, he just said, "What kind of people are you targeting?"
"College students! High school students!" Lin Xiao said brightly, "They are the most powerful level of chasing stars! After graduation, the pressure of life will follow, and there are not many who can continue to chase. We can print notices to publicize cards, put them at the gates of every middle school, high school, and even elementary school! A few universities can also put them..."
"Crack!" Before he finished speaking, Zhou Xingchi immediately clapped his hands excitedly, his eyes lit up, "Good idea!"
He already fully understood what Lin Xiao meant!
Make use of your own brand effect and tell the requirements from the very beginning. When the students come, many of their parents will come!It seems that it is only advertised in the school, but in fact it has attracted the whole family!The number of people has almost doubled!
"Then, let's set the shooting time to Sunday!" Before Lin Xiao could speak again, Zhou Xingchi turned around excitedly, shaking his hands nervously. "Let's see the number of people shooting on the first day! If it's not enough, then Synthesize it with a computer..."
"Director Zhou." Lin Xiao interrupted him for the first time, but Zhou Xingchi no longer showed any dissatisfaction, his eyes were full of joy.
"Tell me, what else do you have?"
Lin Xiao smiled, "That's not enough. When to shout and when to applaud, someone needs to be driven. Although a large number of group performances are not needed, a small number of group performances are still necessary. Their main job is to drive the crowd. , you can put them in a place where they can show their faces or make special reactions, plus our staff, it should be almost the same. I just don’t know if this thing can be done..."
This is his real purpose, and he hides it until the end.
He will definitely do what he promised, although he doesn't like money, but the emotion brought to him by the bearded words is enough for him to give it a try.
Men are such strange creatures, sometimes they will stab someone in the ribs for a touch of emotion, and sometimes they will stab others twice for a touch of pleasure.
Zhou Xingchi laughed loudly, "Yes! It will definitely work! This is the most creative and reliable idea I have heard so far!"
He walked back and forth excitedly, "When the director started the film, I almost forgot that I was the king of comedy! At least for the sake of onlyyou, they have to watch it too!"
Lin Xiao laughed and talked about Journey to the West. The only comedy that can rival it in that era is probably only East and West. It can be called a classic that will never fade in Chinese comedy.
It is also this kind of brand effect that perfectly completed the miracle of seating thousands of people in the previous life.
The way he wanted to tell Zhou Xingchi came from his own "memory".
The trajectory of fate is always similar. In the last life, the Shaolin football crew also encountered this problem.Everyone looked at the empty seats in Jiangwan Stadium, and it hurt their brains. After a long time of distress, they came up with a solution.
