The day after the phone call, Luo Xun went to Xiangjiang, met with Zhou Xingchi, and got the script of "Journey to the West".

It's been a long time.

Seeing each other again, Luo Xun found that Zhou Xingchi's old age did not seem to deteriorate, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

I read the script for a while in the afternoon.

In the evening, Zhou Xingchi invited Luo Xun to have a dinner with Xiangjiang characteristics, and he didn't talk about "Journey to the West" during the banquet, but talked about some filming things.

Drinking.

Luo Xun said with emotion: "...... At that time, the sticker table was less than five centimeters away from me, almost rubbing my ears to the ground, almost a little, you may not see me, this is the most thrilling experience since my filming career, and I remember it deeply. ”

Luo Xun was talking about the filming of "Slaying the Wolf 2".

At that time, there was a dangerous scene, he was about to jump from a high altitude to subdue Wu Jing, but he didn't stand firm when he landed, and a table fell on the side, which was an accident, if the table hit Luo Xun a little bit, it was indeed a very fatal danger.

Zhou Xingchi was listening more often.

After listening to Luo Xun's big talk, he said with a smile: "When the movie is broadcast, when you watch this paragraph again, you will definitely have a sense of accomplishment." ”

Luo Xun nodded.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhou Xingchi was finally willing to mention "Journey to the West: "Do you know how many scenes you have this time?"

"Male number one?"

Luo Xun looked at Zhou Xingchi.

In the original version of "Journey to the West", Tang Seng is the male number one, and the Monkey King played by Huang Bo is actually the male number two, or ......

Anti-One.

If the script has not changed, then this "Journey to the West" will be the first time in Luo Xun's life to play the male lead in the movie!

"You've guessed it. ”

Zhou Xingchi was a little disappointed, he was looking forward to seeing Luo Xun's excited expression, which would give him a sense of accomplishment.

"Wow, that's so much fun. ”

Luo Xun saw through Zhou Xingchi's thoughts, and immediately made an exaggerated performance, which made Xing Ye can't help but roll his eyes: "You have the skills to shoot my play?"

Luo Xun laughed.

Zhou Xingchi sighed, his tone was a little complicated, it seemed to be reluctant, and it seemed to be relieved: "Anyway, the male number one is given to you, I plan to play the role of Monkey King, this may be the last play in my life that I will personally play......"

The words fell.

Luo Xun didn't move.

Zhou Xingchi raised his head a little strangely, but found that Luo Xun seemed to be stunned at the moment, looking at himself with a stunned face-

It wasn't Huang Bo!

It's Zhou Xingchi himself!

Yes, because "Journey to the West" was born ahead of schedule, Huang Bo at this time was far from the glory of his previous life, and it happened that Zhou Xingchi was still able to act, so he caused this situation by mistake-

This is Luo Xun's heart.

When he came back to his senses, he listened to Zhou Xingchi's joke: "I used to be quite famous for playing monkeys, and many people even think that "Journey to the West" is my signature and masterpiece. ”

"Really?"

Luo Xun looked at Zhou Xingchi fixedly: "But what do I think, you kind of fulfill my meaning, the king of comedy, do you need to give me a movie newcomer to match?"

Zhou Xingchi took a moment to say, "Why do you think so?"

Luo Xun said calmly: "Because the two characters of Sun Wukong and Tang Seng are full of the flavor of Zhou's comedy, which means that you can play Tang Seng or Sun Wukong, and these two roles have a high sense of compatibility with you." ”

"I think so too. ”

Zhou Xingchi smiled lightly: "But I think there is one more thing to add, that is, when the two of us face the two roles of Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, we can achieve swaying, that is to say, I can play these two roles, you can too, Tang Seng, you have no problem, Sun Wukong, you have no problem." ”

This is a great affirmation.

Luo Xun said: "So, why don't you continue to play your male lead, if you are holding a fulfillment mentality, then I don't think it's necessary." ”

"It's not fulfillment. ”

Zhou Xingchi nodded the table: "You yourself came out of the supporting role, don't you understand that the number of roles is not the key?"

Luo Xun was stunned.

Indeed, if you don't stick to the difference between Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, these two roles are quite outstanding in the movie, otherwise Zhou Xingchi would not have chosen a master like Huang Bo to play Sun Wukong......

"You know what?"

Luo Xun smiled bitterly: "People say that in Zhou Xingchi's movie, all the characters and all the plots are serving Zhou Xingchi, but this time it ......"

Let's be honest.

Luo Xun's feeling is that he can't stand it.

Although Zhou Xingchi pointed out the statement that "there is no size in the play", no matter what he said, he couldn't hide the fact that he made a green leaf for Luo Xun this time, after Xing Ye became the king of Chinese comedy, this is probably the only time he matches others, and it may also be the last.

"There's pressure. ”

Zhou Xingchi said with a smile.

Luo Xun spread out his hands: "This pressure is greater than the mountains, if I don't act well in the future, I'm afraid that some people will say that I have ruined Zhou Xingchi." ”

"How can you do it? ”

Zhou Xingchi snorted: "After the release of "Yangtze River No. 7", I have already ruined myself. ”

Luo Xunwaner.

Zhou Xingchi is laughing at himself, after all, the reputation of "Yangtze River No. 7" is not good, this movie comes out, and the most voice from the outside world is "Zhou Lang's talent", in terms of this characteristic, Zhou Xingchi and Jay Chou are quite similar geniuses in these two fields.

"Alright. ”

Zhou Xingchi got up and patted Luo Xun on the shoulder: "Go back and read the script carefully, but you know mine, the script is always just a script, it is something that can be adjusted at any time, in the final analysis, you still have to have your own understanding." ”

Luo Xun nodded.

He knows that Tang Seng is a character full of Zhou's comedy characteristics in "Journey to the West", and he doesn't know how many people say that this role can be played by Zhou Xingchi, and even Sun Wukong is a little less interesting in terms of this characteristic.

This is a test for Luo Xun.

He doesn't want to copy Zhou Xingchi, nor does he want to imitate Wen Zhang, he must still have his own interpretation, but he can't completely separate it, because the overall atmosphere of Zhou's comedy can't be played because of Luo Xun's maverick behavior, which is very difficult to grasp.

As for the script......

I still have to follow my previous assumptions, and do my best to help Zhou Xingchi adjust little by little, so that this movie can remove those so-called slots without departing from the essence.

Advantages cannot be wasted.

After watching the finished product after editing in advance, this kind of gold finger is actually very scary, especially for Luo Xun, a professional who has learned the directing system.
