Emperor Superstar Cultivation System
Chapter 46
Update time: 13-09-25
The next day, cami took the other two to go shopping, and he was left alone in the hotel. After lunch, he rushed to Kempinski immediately.
Knocking on the door of 413, Zhou Xingchi was wearing a very casual T-shirt and denim, lying on a chair, basking in the sun and reading a book comfortably.
"Here we come." Zhou Xingchi smiled, and pointed to the sofa, "Sit down."
Lin Xiao sat down politely, waiting for the other party to speak.
Zhou Xingchi closed the book, looked him up and down, and suddenly asked, "Which star do you think likes to play football?"
What kind of weird question is this? !
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, he knew that the assessment had already started.Sure enough, each director has his own personality. Wen Jun was tested on acting skills, while Zhou Xingchi was tested on this kind of "surprise attack."
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, the other party was the king of comedians, and his answer made him decide to take the risk.
Anyway, there's no harm in joking.
He pretended to be thinking about it, but when Zhou Xingchi noticed his thinking, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes that could not be detected.
"Seeing his performance in Happy Camp is very good, and he can make all kinds of jokes at his fingertips. Don't you think this question is too abrupt? When it comes to my identity and my movie, doesn't he know that this is an assessment?"
Zhou Xingchi sighed secretly, sure enough, it's hard to find newcomers who are right for him, for this role, he has been looking for someone for too long.
I thought I found a suitable "marriage partner", but found that I still let myself down.
Just when he had given up hope, Lin Xiao suddenly raised his head and asked solemnly, "Clinton?"
"Haha!" Zhou Xingchi laughed unceremoniously!And it was a belly laugh.
really!It really is a good seedling!The disappointment in his eyes was immediately washed away by Clinton in the United States.He originally thought that even if the other party understood, they would bring out more serious old-school entertainers, but he didn't expect it to go further.
"Not bad!" The disappointment in his eyes was like passing away, and he asked with a smile, "You know that Clinton is a football star, why did you think about it for so long?"
"I'm just thinking about who is more famous, Yoshiro Mori or Clinton." Lin Xiao said "embarrassed".
"Haha!" Even Zhou Xingchi, who has been "laughing" for a long time, couldn't help but smile. He mentioned a football, but the other party spoofed the prime ministers of the two countries. This kind of unconstrained thinking is exactly what comedians need.
"Okay, let's talk about the drama." Zhou Xingchi smiled and gave a thumbs up, making a "you're ok" gesture.
"The outside world knows that I want to write, direct, and act in a play. Everyone has high expectations, and it is difficult for me to do it." He put away his smiling face and sighed distressedly, "I can't smash my own brand, so everyone who can make me laugh I have to personally interview for the roles that people remember.”
Lin Xiao didn't speak, and quietly listened to the other party's words.
"Other roles are basically finalized, and there is one role left. That role doesn't talk much, and even has only actions. I need a newcomer from the younger generation to play."
Lin Xiao thought about it for a while, and asked carefully, "I don't know how long the shot is for this character?"
Zhou Xingchi laughed, "This is how much I attach importance to this character. He doesn't talk much, but there are definitely a lot of shots, even several minutes of special shots, and there are many close-ups. I mean, this character needs to be brilliant .”
In the end, he said conclusively, "This role is a goalkeeper. My requirements are: cool, handsome, and have personality. But it must be able to integrate into the whole comedy, and not stand alone."
"Boom!" As soon as Zhou Xingchi finished speaking, the system sound that hadn't sounded in Lin Xiao's mind for a long time sounded again, which was the same as Zhao Wei's prompt at that time.
Small golden print!Represents s-level missions!
"S-level mission: Shaolin football is officially launched. Rewards for shooting: All attributes increased by 50. Popularity increased by 0. Rewards will be issued after signing the contract."
Popularity increased by 0?He glanced at his popularity suspiciously, only to realize that this value, which he ignored, was only a pitiful 100 points.
Represents entertainers who are not at all known.And adding 0 points is enough to meet the standards of a third-tier artist.
"May I ask whether it will proceed?"
"Yes!" he thought without hesitation.
At the same time, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and the Bodhi necklace, which had never worked, disappeared.
He remembered that the effect of this necklace was to increase the success rate of receiving plays. He hadn't received any new plays for a long time. He didn't expect that the system's rewards would play a role at this time!
"Mr. Lin, what do you think of this role?" Zhou Xingchi asked seeing that Lin Xiao was silent.
Only then did Lin Xiao withdraw from his mind, and said with a smile, "Of course I really want to be in Director Zhou's play."
Zhou Xingchi nodded, and said earnestly, "I feel good about you. I believe you have no problem integrating into comedy. But you have to pay attention to this character. He is not a funny character. But it must conform to the taste of the whole play. Now, I I need you to do a few scenes."
Lin Xiao nodded. This is the so-called point-to-point test, and it is usually the most important shots of that character.
Zhou Xingchi thought about it and said, "The first one is provocation. Two teams confront each other, and the goalkeeper challenges the shooter."
Lin Xiao thought about it. Point-to-point exams often only have one sentence, and the director can't define the scene at the moment. If the actor's performance is perfect, it is likely to be done once and signed on the spot.
Maybe, one action can be exchanged for a contract, maybe, after talking for half an hour, only one sentence "I'm sorry."
He recalled the scene of Shaolin football, thought quietly for 10 minutes, and finally came up with a relatively complete summary.
It's a very simple picture, but it boils down to two things: **, exaggeration.
Faint expressions and exaggerated movements.
He raised his head, just in time to see Zhou Xingchi's expectant eyes.
"I don't know how he will play it?" Zhou Xingchi was faintly excited when he saw Lin Xiao looking up. He had secretly found many newcomers to play this role, but no matter what, he didn't feel that he needed it.
Under the gaze, Lin Xiao made only one movement, swipe his thumb above his lips, stretched out his right hand, and shook one finger.
Zhou Xingchi's eyes lit up.
The movements are very simple, but when the other party is doing these movements, the expression has also been adjusted. It is not serious, but joking, the corners of the mouth are slightly pulled down, and the body language is quite in place.It doesn't look like it's on the court, but it feels a bit like a young and Dangerous boy.
But this action was exactly what he wanted!
"Good! Very good!" As soon as Lin Xiao's expression relaxed, he heard Zhou Xingchi's applause immediately.
"Can you tell me how you came up with this pose?" The other party immediately asked enthusiastically.
Lin Xiao thought for a while, "It's actually very simple. I think that Zhou Daogui is the king of comedy, and his previous films have a lot of exaggerated styles. If this one doesn't, old audiences may take time to accept it. So just add a little exaggeration. Physical or facial expressions will do."
"That's it." Zhou Xingchi laughed, "To be honest, I have tried many new actors, but their performances are all integrated into the play, very natural, but too natural, what I want not this
Feel.It is the kind of element that needs a little drama in it. "
The more he talked, the happier he was. "It was the same when I approached Zhao Wei. She repeatedly refused to say that she had never acted in a comedy. But I just thought she could do it. Unfortunately, I never persuaded her."
"Then how did Director Zhou talk about it in the end?" Lin Xiao couldn't help being curious.
Zhou Xingchi smiled and said, "Finally, I asked a question, don't you want to try other roles besides Little Swallow?"
Lin Xiao secretly sighed, as expected of a veteran king, if Zhou Xingchi's name wasn't enough to make the popular little swallow try a new way of acting, then this sentence was the last straw that hit the weak point and broke the camel's back.
"When Zhao Wei recommended you to me, I was still a little worried, but now, this kind of worry is completely unnecessary." Zhou Xingchi pondered for a while, then gave a thumbs up again, "OK, no problem."
However, Lin Xiao did not relax. What the other party said just now was the first scene, so it means that there is a second scene.
At this moment, his neck felt cold again, and the disappeared necklace returned to his neck again.
"The second scene..." Zhou Xingchi thought about it, but then he suddenly smiled and clapped his hands, "Forget it, if this scene can be acted well, then this character is pretty good."
Done?OK?
Lin Xiao couldn't believe it. Although Hong Kong directors' auditions are completely different from those in mainland China, sometimes a single sentence can determine whether an actor can get on or not.But it's really rare to pass just one scene!
Is this the function of the bodhi seed necklace?Skip the second step of review directly?
Seeing Lin Xiao looking at him, Zhou Xingchi couldn't help smiling and said, "Congratulations, I can reveal the name of this film to you now. Its name is: Shaolin Football. It will be filmed at the end of the year, and the actors will be announced next month." List, hold a press conference."
Even Lin Xiao, who has been up and down for several years, is unavoidably excited at this moment. This is not an ordinary play, it can be said that it is not even comparable to a big play!However, its impact was far-reaching.Cooperating with Zhou Xingchi in the first film he wrote, directed and acted in, making his debut on the big screen will pave the way for his future acting career!
"Thank you Director Zhou for the opportunity." Lin Xiao said sincerely.
"You have the right taste with this movie." Zhou Xingchi said with a smile, "But your salary is still a newcomer. You paid 3000 yuan for filming Kangxi. The movie is naturally higher, but it's not the protagonist, so it's not much higher. , you have to be mentally prepared."
I have long heard that "Master Xing" picks, and it turns out to be true.Lin Xiao grumbled in his heart, but this kind of opportunity cannot be measured by money.
Seeing Lin Xiao nodding in agreement, Zhou Xingchi said, "In this case, I will return the contract to your company."
After chatting for a while and discussing the content and style of the play, Zhou Xingchi said that after the formal signing, he will send the script, of course only his part, and let his agent arrange the schedule.
The next day, cami took the other two to go shopping, and he was left alone in the hotel. After lunch, he rushed to Kempinski immediately.
Knocking on the door of 413, Zhou Xingchi was wearing a very casual T-shirt and denim, lying on a chair, basking in the sun and reading a book comfortably.
