Chapter 231: Chinese Kung Fu
After waiting in the break room, Assistant Nicole walked in and picked up a new script for everyone.
A few people took the script, but they didn't show too much surprise.
Hollywood auditions have always been like this, with good secrecy and temporary script changes to test the actors' on-the-spot reflexes.
This role is the one in charge of combat in a team of agents, and it needs to be good and at the same time have a murderous feeling.
This movie Hong Chen has understood, it is not a particularly big IP, it is more like a commercial movie in Hollywood.
However, Hollywood's commercial films are generally also boutique genres, and Hollywood attaches great importance to the quality of movies, after all, they rely on word-of-mouth to eat.
Hong Chen looked at the script carefully, this script is very interesting, it is not like directly giving the actors how to perform and what the lines are when they are in Huaxia.
This script is the setting of a scene.
"In the process of doing a mission, the agent team is intercepted by a strong enemy, and your teammate is shot in the abdomen by the opponent, how do you behave?"
"It's kind of interesting, it's like an exam. Hong Chen looked at the scene in the script and thought secretly.
When a teammate is injured, he naturally has to show concern, hatred and murderous intent.
Again, as an agent, decisiveness and agility are both necessary factors.
With such a combination, the performance is still a little difficult.
Then, Nicole's assistant first asked Li Bing to enter the audition hall for an audition.
About fifteen minutes later, Li Bingxian came out of the audition hall, and Hong Chen noticed that he looked very confident.
Then, it was Hiroyuki Sanada who entered the audition hall.
Liu Chenglu was on the side, looking very humble. The hierarchy of artists in the Han Kingdom is strict, and the seniors are the seniors, and the juniors must use honorific titles when talking to them.
However, Hong Chen could see that Liu Chenglu was a very ambitious person, and he didn't mind writing ambition on his face at all.
Liu Chenglu's eyes also looked at Hong Chen from time to time.
He knows Hong Chen, after all, artists in the Han Kingdom are not particularly profitable in their own country, and if they come to Huaxia, the market is big and they can make more money, so he will also understand the Huaxia market.
Now, among the young Chinese artists, Hong Chen is a well-deserved leader.
His popularity in Huaxia is not low now, but it is even worse than Hong Chen.
Therefore, he was also secretly thinking of a way in his heart, hoping to defeat Hong Chen.
At this time, Hiroyuki Sanada also came out of the audition hall, he usually looked quite serious and expressionless.
After that, it's the flood of dust.
"Mr. Hong Chen, please follow me. Nicole said politely.
Hong Chen stood up, and in an instant, the eyes of several audition actors looked at him.
Hong Chen's image and temperament are very good, and they all know that Hong Chen is a rising star in China in the past two years, and his strength is very strong.
There is no doubt that this is a strong opponent.
Hong Chen followed Nicole into the audition hall, and Liu Chenglu looked at his back, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
In the audition hall, four audition directors sit at four tables, which is the same as Huaxia's film and television companies.
The only difference is that they also have an expensive camera equipment among them.
"Mr. Hong Chen, please look at this camera and tell me your name, age and nationality. Chief director Walter pointed to the camera and said.
This audition method is a very professional audition method in Hollywood, and it is also the best way to screen actors summarized by Hollywood's industrialization system.
Hong Chen was also exposed to this audition method for the first time, and he generously said to the camera in Chinese: "My name is Hong Chen, 24 years old, from China. ”
After speaking, he sat on a chair in front of the four of them according to the director's request.
"Mr. Hong Chen, I hope you will come on. The materials for the LEE audition in your country are still sealed at the Hollywood Theater. These are valuable assets if you can succeed later on. Robert, the investor, is a shrewd-looking businessman, he chuckles.
Hearing this, Hong Chen's eyes changed slightly.
LEE is Bruce Lee, the first movie star in China to appear in Hollywood, and it can also be said to be the founder of kung fu movies.
Bruce Lee was so popular back then, he was truly famous all over the world, and his martial arts reached the pinnacle, repeatedly amazed European and American audiences.
It is precisely because of him that kung fu movies can become popular in the world.
His influence on later generations was also great, not only in China. For example, Quentin, the director of "Kill Bill", is a fan of Bruce Lee, and there are a lot of tributes to Bruce Lee in subsequent films.
There is also Xingye's movie, he was also influenced by Bruce Lee since he was a child, so he was inspired to become a person like Bruce Lee.
Now that Hong Chen heard Bruce Lee's name from foreigners, he naturally felt a little proud in his heart.
At that time, Chinese people were also seriously discriminated against in the United States, but Bruce Lee used his real skills to tear apart Hollywood's pride and prejudice against Chinese people.
"Mr. Hong Chen, you are very famous in Huaxia now, can you tell me what you have relied on to get to where you are today?" asked the assistant director Garcy, looking up.
Hollywood auditions are not just about looking at the actors' performances, but also analyzing the actors' data from all aspects to finally determine the actors.
These surviving video materials are also a good model to help younger generations learn.
Because of this, Hollywood's excellent actors are endless.
In fact, Hong Chen has an answer in his heart, that is, "it depends on the system". But he knows that he has come to this point because of more than just the system.
What the system provides is the ability to act, some auxiliary means, money, etc., relying on these to achieve today's achievements, and his own efforts are inseparable.
"Works and character. Hong Chen didn't talk too much, but replied politely.
He sat in a chair with a straight body and looked very atmospheric.
Listening to his answer, the four audition directors all looked at him in surprise.
This answer is very concise, but very simple.
The actor walked up step by step, relying on his works and character. There is also a saying that "acting is like being a person", and it is useless for an actor with poor character to act no matter how good his acting skills are.
"Mr. Hong Chen, I would like to ask, in your mind, what is the strongest kung fu? karate, taekwondo, or judo?" the producer, Kamai, raised his head and asked with interest.
Hearing his question, Hong Chen replied decisively: "This question, every Chinese person can answer you, that is, the strongest kung fu is always Chinese kung fu!"
"Our ancestors, passed down from generation to generation, have formed a variety of experiences and exercises, from the wide opening and closing of the fist to the Tai Chi of overcoming rigidity with softness, including Xingyi boxing, swordsmanship, knife techniques and so on. ”
"Huaxia is the birthplace of martial arts, with a complete system, each of which is broad and profound, and it often takes a lifetime of energy for a person to master one of them!"
Feeling the confidence in Hong Chen's tone, the four of them all looked at him with surprised expressions.
They also asked Li Bingxian and Sanada about this question just now.
Lee Byung-first answered taekwondo, and Sanada answered karate.
Only Hong Chen, who is talking directly about Chinese kung fu!
"But as far as I know, isn't kung fu a showmanship?" At this time, the chief director Walter raised his head and stared at him, his eyes were a little sharp.
Hearing this, Hong Chen's expression did not change too much, and said: "Kung fu is not a show, traditional martial arts are used to kill people, and martial arts are also killing techniques." ”
It was only in modern times that fighting and killing were not advocated in China, and traditional martial arts gradually transformed into a physical fitness sport, and similarly, in order to pursue the art of performance, martial arts gradually had a variety of moves and movements. ”
"But in the history of China, soldiers had to learn kung fu in order to kill the enemy on the battlefield. Real kung fu is about killing. ”
Hong Chen spoke eloquently, and several audition directors were attracted by his description.
In fact, many foreigners are very interested in Chinese kung fu, otherwise there would be no news on the Internet that "Chinese people know martial arts".
"Can you give us a show?" asked the assistant director, Garcy, again.
Hearing his words, Hong Chen smiled indifferently, "Of course you can." ”
