Director Xu, do you mean that today is the character who auditioned for the hot scene?"

"Oh, not an audition. It may be that the expression is a little inaccurate when contacting, and I just want to talk to you. Xu Ke said with a smile.

Talk?

However, when it comes to a director like Xu Ke, he is indeed qualified enough to let an actor fly from Beijing to Hong Kong to chat with him with a phone call.

"Director Xu, you say. ”

"You can tell that Wind and Fire is a character's name, which means that you have watched Mr. Liang Yusheng's "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain", right?"

"That's right! I read it when I was in school. ”

"What do you think of the character of Wind and Fire?"

"It's a big devil who kills people without blinking......"

As he spoke, he thought for a moment, and then burst out with a rare and cultured sentence: "His feelings are pitiful, but his deeds can be punished!"

"His feelings are pitiful, and his deeds are punishable!"

Xu Ke's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he deliberately repeated it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "This is a good point, and it is very prepared to use this to describe the wind and fire." I'm sure you can play this character well. ”

Hey?

He Xin was subconsciously stunned, and the time for these few words was decided?

Isn't it a little too sloppy?

"I'm sorry, Director Xu, can I read the script first?" he muttered.

It is his consistent principle to read the script before taking over the play, and he doesn't want to break this principle because the other party is Xu Ke or some big director.

The only thing that may make him break this principle is probably the director he has always admired - the national teacher. Of course, "Three Guns" definitely doesn't count.

"Script?"

Xu Ke first leaned over and opened the drawer next to his desk, but then hesitated and said, "The script is not yet perfect, and I still need to make further revisions with the screenwriter." In this case, let me tell you what I think of this storm should be like. ”

"Oh, Director Xu, you say!"

He Xin was slightly disappointed, but the character in the director's mouth should be the most accurate character in the movie, after all, when the actor is expressing, many times he needs to follow the director's baton to reflect the director's intention.

"I think in a sense, he's a tragic figure......"

Xu Ke said it meticulously, depicting the character of the wind and fire in great detail, and even casually said some lines of wind and fire.

For example: "Actually, it took me a long time to get used to being alone, but you suddenly came to accompany me, and when you left I had to readjust, I gained and lost, it is better to never get it." ”

"Who gave you the right to judge the life and death of others, and who will judge you!"

"Saving people? That's just a pretense, think about it, since you came down the mountain, who have you saved? Not a single one! But you keep killing people, those who should be killed, those who shouldn't be killed, from the dragon sword, stained with blood, isn't it the same on your sword?...... Well, the sword is here to kill...... There is only one truth in this world, the winner is king, and the loser is the villain!"

Just hearing these lines seems to give people an illusion that the person who can say these words should be a decent martial arts person full of wisdom and philosophy, full of benevolence and morality, rather than some murderous demon king.

"I don't think villains are always heinous, in fact, everyone has his humanity and fragile side. Wind and fire, can be understood as a bad person, can also be understood as the worst good person. ”

“......”

After He Xin listened, he was silent for a long time, he was still digesting Xu Ke's interpretation of the character of the wind and fire.

Xu Ke was not in a hurry, maybe he was a little dry as he said just now, drank a few sips of tea, and then took out a cigar, lit it with a "pop", leaned back in the chair very comfortably, looked at him with a smile through the light blue smoke.

He Xin's addiction to cigarettes was successfully seduced by the aroma of cigars, and he also took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one.

Then I began to summarize what Xu Ke had just said in my mind one by one.

Positioning: The biggest villain!

Identity: Seven Swords' Greatest Enemy!

Killer feature: A person uses two weapons, knife and sword skills to kill people quickly, without spending work. Kill people as quickly as you can, the easiest way to do it. It's very direct, just cut it up, stab it.

Character characteristics: Murderous like hemp, he is the head of a Manchu murderous mercenary army, specializing in killing those decent people with strong martial arts. But in fact, he was also forced to become a villain. He was motivated by the Manchu Qing because of his actions to retaliate after he was hunted down and killed by the Ming Dynasty.

Personality: Very lonely and autistic, born with an inferiority complex, and clumsy reaction to feelings, unable to express it, until his lover dies is very painful.

Aside from the plot, as far as this character is concerned, it is very three-dimensional, and it does not appear out of thin air, there is a complete character line. From a normal person to a ruthless killing machine, there is both a normal side and a schizophrenic side, and it is a very humane character with a lot of room to play.

And what he was most interested in now was a ruthless killer like Feng Huotian, who killed innocents indiscriminately for the sake of financial gain, what was his friendship and love, what was he thinking when he killed people, and what kind of life was he was like when he didn't kill people? All these made him curious.

"Director Xu, why do you think I can play this character well?" he suddenly asked again.

Xu Ke slowly took a puff of his cigar, stared at him and said, "To be honest, I didn't think you were a suitable candidate at first, but then they showed me a TV series you acted in, and the role of Brother Qiang in it impressed me very deeply." Brother Qiang's attitude towards women, his feelings for his brothers, his straightforwardness, etc., many traits are very similar to the character of Fenghuo Liantian. So, I'm expecting you to give me an even bigger surprise. ”

“......”

Xu Ke's answer was what he expected, after all, "Conquest" is very popular, and the character of Liu Huaqiang is not the kind of face-painted villain in the traditional sense, and it will even make people feel sympathy. In this regard, as Xu Ke said, it is very similar to the wind and fire.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the movie "Seven Swords" was too indifferent in his impression, or if he didn't know that there was such a movie, maybe he wouldn't hesitate to take this role next. The reason why I hesitate is to hesitate whether to take this movie that is destined to hit the street.

"Director Xu, I want to think about it. ”

His words made Xu Ke slightly stunned, the main actors of "Seven Swords" are currently only left with the role of Wind and Fire has not yet been decided, and the actors he has seen before, including Lu Yi and Zhang Jingchu under the largest investor Ciwen, the sincerity and fear when communicating with him are as if engraved on their faces.

Even the first-line celebrities in Hong Kong, such as Li Min, Zhen Dan, and Yang Caini, whom he appointed, did not have to consider it. Of course, Liang Jiahui is an exception, after all, he promised Guan Jinpeng to be in front, and he went to him in the back.

Not to mention the Korean investors, they can't wait to use their Korean actors for all the roles.

However, Old Monster Xu's expression immediately returned to his normal color, and said: "No problem, but you better hurry, I plan to start the machine at the end of August, and there is still a need for a period of preparation before that." ”

"Director Xu, don't worry, I will give you a definite answer before I leave tomorrow morning. ”

"So fast?"

Xu Ke was surprised again, but he seemed to think of something immediately, and said with a smile: "Then I'll wait for good news." ”

......

After sending away He Xin and his agent Chang Jihong, Shi Nansheng walked to the office and asked, "How is it, are you still satisfied with this He Xin?"

Old Monster Xu shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands out, "I said a long time ago that he is the most suitable candidate, and some of his own traits are very similar to Feng Huo. ”

What are some of the qualities in me?

Money, of course!

This is a very normal thing in the eyes of their Hong Kong filmmakers, and of course actors are filming for money.

For example, when he supervised "The True Color of Heroes", Fa Ge rolled four dramas at the same time. He still clearly remembers that Dillon persuaded Fa Ge not to play at that time, and Fa Ge spread his hands as he is now: "Everyone fish!"

Shi Nansheng and Xu Ke have been together for so many years, and the two have long cooperated tacitly, and Xu Lao Wei doesn't care about anything other than making movies.

Since he heard her husband say this, Shi Nansheng immediately nodded and said, "I'll take care of this!"
