Chapter 284: An Awkward Chat with Xing Ye
After "Yangtze River No. 7" in 08, Zhou Xingchi suffered a lot of criticism, and even vicious netizens used "prostitute from good" to describe him.
has been good and recognized by the public, but it is not as surprising as when it was "not in the stream".
Just when everyone thought that "Zhou Lang is exhausted", Zhou Xingchi quietly took out a "Journey to the West".
It's just that in this movie, he didn't act by himself, but chose some mainland actors who had never worked together.
Huang Bo is one of them.
When he was still filming "Thai Embarrassment", the producer of the Demon Suppression chapter called Huang Bo several times and invited him to play the role of Monkey King.
Huang Bo naturally refused, in his words, "Xingye's mountain is too high, I can't climb it."
If he doesn't play Sun Wukong, no one will say that he is not good, if he does, he may be scolded, and even have to apologize.
It wasn't until a few days ago that Zhou Xingchi personally called him, and the two chatted for more than an hour before he was a little moved and agreed to give it a try.
"It just so happened that Xing Ye asked me if I had any recommended actors, so I said you," Huang Bo crossed Erlang's legs and said lightly.
"Then what did Master Xing say, did he really let me try out for the show?" Zhou Jin himself felt incredible.
"I didn't say the audition, I just made a phone call to talk to you. ”
"Then what role should I try, Chen Xuanzang?"
"Who knows, I listen to Master Xing, and I haven't even decided the script yet, maybe I'll let you play Zhu Bajie?"
"Hey, I think it's better to be Tang Seng," Ning Hao accosted on the side: "In this way, the two of you, plus Lao Xu, will learn from the trio." ”
"Heh, I think it depends on whether Xing Ye is happy or not," Zhou Jin twisted his body into a strange posture, moving his sore and swollen arms.
He just faced the basketball and practiced the knife technique for a day, and I don't know if his kung fu has improved, but his arms are a lot stronger anyway.
"I'm still going to shoot "Embroidered Spring Knife" honestly, just go with the flow of the West," Zhou Jin really doesn't think he can have any advantages compared with Wen Zhang.
Whether it is acting, experience, or popularity, Wen Zhang is slightly stronger than him, especially after "33 Days of Broken Love" won a box office of 350 million, which made Wen Zhang's box office appeal even higher.
So far, Zhou Jin has only pushed him to the second line with "Step by Step", and there is still a lack of a real blockbuster movie to prove his box office appeal.
"Guns N' Roses" will be a hope, but unfortunately, it is still very early before its release.
Of course, Zhou Jin is not presumptuous, he also has his own specialty, who let him peek at the hole cards.
It is said that Xing Ye is a tyrant on the set, and he likes to improvise on the set, and a "Journey to the West" has been filmed in several versions, constantly overturned and polished, so that it has the appearance seen on the big screen.
Zhou Jin took the final version of the understanding and went to communicate with Xing Ye, it should have an effect, right?
I just don't know what Xing Ye will say, and what will he ask him.
A few days later, the filming permit for "Embroidered Spring Knife" was finally approved, and the crew was already ready and was about to go to Huairou to start filming.
Zhou Jin put away his embroidered spring knife, returned to the apartment early, and after taking a shower, he lay down on the bed, anxiously waiting for the conversation to come.
It wasn't until it was completely dark outside the window that the phone was finally connected.
"Uh, what have you been up to lately?"
The two said hello, and after a short silence, Xing Ye asked the first sentence.
His Mandarin was a little stiff, and his tone was flat, as if he were chatting normally.
"Recently, I was preparing for a martial arts movie, and it was about to start, so I was practicing swordsmanship," Zhou Jin said honestly.
"Do you know how to practice kung fu?"
"That's right, Wu Zhi made a basketball and hung it up, let us split and practice. ”
"Heh, I also practiced it when I was a child, and I used that mung bean to fry it hot, and I practiced iron sand palms. ”
"Did you practice it later?"
"Of course not, but you can fight cockroaches......"
To Zhou Jin's surprise, Xing Ye did not ask about his resume, nor did he ask him about his understanding of Journey to the West, but talked about a lot of things that had nothing to do with the movie.
For example, "Have you eaten well lately", "Have you slept enough", "What do you usually do...... These are these questions that even Liu's mother has never asked.
If it weren't for the star master on the other side, Zhou Jin would have doubted whether he was on a blind date.
The whole conversation lasted for more than half an hour in this atmosphere, which was not too pleasant, but it was not too tense either.
It wasn't until the end that Xing Ye mentioned it slightly, "Have you ever watched "Journey to the West"?"
Zhou Jin was shocked, he had prepared this question.
"I've seen it, Supreme Treasure and Zixia, it was very funny when I was a child, but now I feel very helpless when I watch it. ”
"Still remembered?"
"Yes, it's still very profound," Zhou Jin talked to him, "I can't save you without the golden hoop, how can I love you with the golden hoop."
Then concluded: "Fate is so helpless, so we must cherish the destined people." ”
These are all words of soup on the Internet, everyone will say it, but very few of them have been done.
Zhou Xingchi chuckled and said, "Then have you ever met a girl like Zixia?"
"It should be...... I met it. ”
"Then you are very lucky," he was silent for a moment, and then said: "I have a movie to be made, and I will come to the imperial capital later, and I will invite you to come over when the time comes." ”
"Okay, no problem," Zhou Jin agreed.
After that, Xing Ye proposed to end the conversation, and Zhou Jin couldn't help but ask one last question: "Why don't you play it yourself?" ”
"Heh, I'm getting older, I don't have the energy to direct and act anymore, and I don't want to be so busy......"
There was some wistfulness in his words.
Then the phone hung up, and Zhou Jin still didn't understand which role he was facing and whether he passed the interview.
But it's an honor to be able to talk to Xing Ye for so long.
At least in Liu Sisi's opinion, it is.
As soon as Zhou Jin's side was over, she immediately called, "How is it, has it passed? What did Master Xing ask you?"
"He asked me ......"
"Ask what?"
"Asked if I've ever met a girl like Zixia, I said I did. ”
"And then?"
"And then it's gone......"
"Hahaha~" Liu Sisi rolled on the bed with a smile, "I heard that Xing Ye is still single, could it be that you showed him?" and then he was very angry. ”
"No," Zhou Jin also muttered a little.
The two were chatting on the phone, and Liu's mother sat on the bed and helped Liu Sisi pack the things she wanted to bring to the crew.
"Embroidered Spring Knife" has to be filmed for at least 70 days, and Liu Sisi does not have many scenes in it, and it can be done in a month at most.
But she was still thinking about going to the set to see the set of the embroidered spring knife, and then copying a copy to come back to decorate her small bar, so she decided to join the group in advance.
After Liu's mother cleaned up her things, she looked at her daughter's lazy image, she was so disgusted that she couldn't wait for her to hang up the phone, and immediately dragged her up, "What do you say, Xiao Zhou is really going to make Stephen Chow's movie?"
Liu Sisi jumped out of bed, checked his four trolley boxes, and said casually: "It's not decided yet, he doesn't know what role he will play." ”
"Don't care what role he is, he has such a good image, he can't play tricks, right?" There is a way that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more satisfied she becomes, and Liu's mother now admires Zhou Jin very much.
"Even if he can't act now, he is still so young, there is always a chance, and the most important thing is that he can catch Zhou Xingchi, this is all connections, you can see your ...... again"
"Ahhh~" Liu Sisi howled at the top of his throat, interrupting Liu's mother's nagging.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Dad Liu was still wearing an apron and hurriedly ran in, "Who bullied you again?"
"My mother!" Liu Sisi pointed at Liu's mother, and immediately began to complain, "What about those small snacks I bought, why didn't you bring them to me?"
Liu's mother was so angry that she patted her, "I know how to eat snacks every day, and it's not good to eat too much junk food......"
"But what if I'm hungry?" Liu Sisi changed his face in seconds and put on a pitiful look, "How can there be so many healthy things to eat on the set, you can't bear to see me starving?"
Dad Liu hurriedly said: "Yes, let's go back to Hengdian, the crew really didn't eat as clean at home...... Hey, why don't I hire a cook for you to take with you?"
"Bring a cook, and you don't have a place to cook?"
"That's easy to do, let's buy an RV, and it doesn't cost much, it's only a few hundred thousand. ”
"Makes sense," Liu Sisi's eyes lit up, following Zhou Jin's example, he touched his chin and thought: "But the cook is free, and you can buy one for an RV." ”
The crew is very messy, and having an RV is equivalent to having a private space.
In between filming, you can also pull Zhou Jin to eat something, take a rest, and sleep in it at night, and you are not afraid of being disturbed, how tempting it is.
As for the price, it's only a few hundred thousand, and it's really not in the eyes of her Miss Liu.
