Seeing Zhang's expression, Jessica smiled again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Jiang is very charming. Jessica laughed, "You have a good eye, hasn't his problem changed?"

Zhang asked, "What's wrong?"

"It doesn't seem to have changed, it's a bastard. Jessica shook her head and smiled.

Zhang suddenly understood what Jessica was talking about, and she had said the same thing about Jiang Xia a few years ago.

"Is it ......" Zhang looked at Jessica in disbelief.

Jessica shook her head and said, "You're thinking too much. It's just that I know some of his problems. ”

Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Scared me, I thought he was so powerful, what else does he have to do with you." ”

Jessica smiled and didn't speak.

Zhang unveiled the topic just now, changed the topic and asked, "How did you meet?" He still knows you, which really surprises me, if he had known, he would have brought me to ask you for an autograph. ”

"What kind of signature do you want, I'll give you my phone, you come to the United States, just look for me." Jessica said as she took out her phone and swapped numbers with Zhang.

When Andre walked over, he saw them exchanging numbers, and said, "The two of you already know each other?" Zhang, hello, I'm Andre, Jiang's friend. ”

"It's also my boyfriend. Jessica explains.

Zhang hurriedly said, "Hello, hello." Jiang Xia didn't tell me that his friend was in the crew. ”

"Jiang told us that you have good cooking skills, and you must try your skills when you have the opportunity. Andrei said.

"No problem, huh, Jiangxia is out?" Zhang said.

The three of them looked back together, Jiang Xia walked out in a black robe, his hair was cut bald, his eyeliner was darker, and his eyeshadow was darkened, giving people a gloomy feeling.

Andre frowned and said, "This shape is a bit exaggerated. ”

"Why?" Zhang asked, "I think it's good." ”

Jessica also frowned: "It's true, Geralt should be a very weak person in the play." Jiang Xia's shape is slightly killed. ”

"I went to the makeup artist and asked how it worked. Andrei said as he walked on.

Bumped into Jiang Xia head-on, Jiang Xia asked, "Why are you going?"

"What's the matter with your look?" said Andre, "I'll go and ask the makeup artist." ”

"Don't ask, I asked for it. Jiang Xia said.

"Why?" asked Andrei, puzzled.

Jiang Xia said: "It's very simple, in order to better reflect the role. ”

"It doesn't fit the character very well. Andrei said.

"That's the role you understand, that's the role I understand. Jiang Xia said, "What about the director? I haven't met the director yet, so I have to meet him." ”

Andre said: "Director Martin is chatting with the screenwriter, I'll take you there. ”

Before he could get closer, Jiang Xia heard a German accent say, "Why can't you cut the scene?" Geralt, the scene that is only five minutes long, can be deleted completely. The sequel, we can start the story line from other directions, why do we have to keep an eye on Geralt?"

"No, Martin, this is my work, this is my series. Each line is arranged, and other places can be changed, but some places can never be changed, which will affect the direction of the whole plot. The screenwriter is a white-bearded old man who calmly explains to Martin.

Andre and Jiang Xia approached, and Andre shouted: "Director Martin, Mr. Will, this is the actor of Geralt, Mr. Jiang Xia from China." ”

Martin and Will turned their heads together, Martin frowned, and Will thoughtfully.

"Director Martin, hello Mr. Will, I'm Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two.

"Mr. Jiang, why is your look like this? Andre, didn't you tell the makeup artist? He shouldn't play Geralt in such a thick dark style, and what's the matter with this bald head?" Martin asked Andre.

Jiang Xia explained for Andre: "Director Martin, this is my request. ”

"Mr. Jiang, why do you have such a request? I mean, bald head styling and eye shadow. Will asked.

Jiang Xia explained: "This is my understanding of Geralt, I think Geralt's identity should not be simple, this place in the open sea should not be simple, the whole battle between angels and demons is like a conspiracy, according to the understanding of the plot, I think Geralt is eccentric." That's why I designed a character like this to give Geralt some dark wind. ”

Will laughed: "Martin, you also said that the new actor has not auditioned at all, and now it seems that he does not need to audition at all, and his ability to read scripts is better than yours." I designed the identity of the visitor from the sea, and Geralt's"

Martin said: "It doesn't mean that his acting skills are passing." Mr. Jiang, Mr. Ogg recommended you to come over, and stuffed you in without my consent, I know what he means, and I want to end the movie as soon as possible. However, I will not relax my requirements for the movie, if you can't behave, I will fight to turn against Og and take you down. ”

Jiang Xia said: "I will give my best performance." ”

Martin nodded: "I believe that the first in the third tier of the Chinese celebrity list will not disappoint me." Hope happy cooperation. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. Jiang Xia shook hands with Martin again.

Martin then got to work.

"Andre, urge Gonzalez, ask him if he has finished his makeup, hurry up and talk to Jiang first, and then shoot live, we have limited time, we have to shoot six shows today. ”

"I'll go right away. "Andrei ran away and urged people to go.

Jiang Xia said: "I'll go and prepare too." ”

"Good. Martin said.

After Jiang Xia left, Martin asked Will, "What did he say about your thoughts?"

"It's not far off, the visitor from the open sea is a pit, the battle between angels and demons, is the conspiracy of the visitor from the open sea, that is, the human race. Will said, "If there's a chance to get out of Fall 2, the forces of humanity will come in." If you can still shoot Fall 3, then the angel will be completely destroyed, Fall 4, is the fall of Alcatraz Island, and I haven't thought about it yet, so it's a four-part arrangement for the time being. ”

"So Geralt's role is still important?" Martin was surprised, "is it okay for him to play it as a Chinese?"

Will shrugged his shoulders and said: "How do I know, it's not up to me to let me play, whether he can do it or not, you can only count it." ”

Martin nodded, "That's right. ”

Jiang Xia sat aside and read the script, rearranging the dialogue lines in the script.

Ten minutes later, AndrΓ© came out with a brown-haired "demon", who was the star of "Falling", the demon leader Agares.

Demons, like angels, have special decorations, angels have wings, demons should have wings, but they have been modified, some demons have wings, some demons don't, most demons have multiple arms.

The chieftain, Agares, belongs to the category with wings and arms, so his outfit is heavier. I could have done this with special effects CG, but the role I played was a literary drama, so I installed wings for Gonzalez instead of multiple arms, so it was easier to do in the later stage.

When I met Jiang Xia, Gonzalez didn't know Jiang Xia, and to be honest, Jiang Xia didn't know Gonzalez either. He is a person who doesn't look at what the actors are doing now, and he needs to find actors, so he pays attention to the situation of the actors, and usually doesn't care at all.

The two don't know each other, they only know each other's names in the movie, and because they want to play opposite scenes, they also say hello in a friendly way, and then they just wait for the filming to start.

Filming took place on Alcatraz Island, where Geralt's residence was set up on the site of the island, and the location of the first scene was Geralt's residence.

A few cameras were set up, Jiang Xia looked at the facilities in the house, and asked people to move the chairs.

The drama manager looked at Martin, who waved for the chair to be removed.

Originally, Jiang Xia sat on the chair and talked to Agares, but Jiang Xia asked people to move the chair, he thought that there was a chair, which did not match Geralt's identity as a "prophet prophet", and there was no chair to meet the role.

When Martin was filming, he saw many actors who made small changes to the script, and such a scene change did not affect the structure of the overall picture, so he naturally agreed.

In the Hollywood film mechanism, the director's creative space is infinitely smaller, and most people are like a screw, organically combined to form a huge crew. The director is only one part of the overall machine, not the main part.

The actor's performance is also a part of the crew, as long as it does not affect the efficacy of the machine, does not affect the shooting of the crew, and can meet the requirements of the director as long as the actor plays.

After removing the chair, Jiang Xia knelt directly on the ground, there was nothing in front of him, after thinking about it, he called the drama manager, and said two words in the drama manager's ear, and not long after, the drama manager brought Jiang Xia a stick, a very ordinary black stick, and he couldn't see anything special.

"What do you want sticks for?" asked Jessica, curious.

Before Jiang Xia could answer, Martin said, "Jessica, be quiet." ”

Gonzalez smiled, and the rest of the people also smiled, Jessica is a more active person, and Martin is often said to "quiet" in the crew, telling her not to disturb the filming.

After Jessica stepped away, Jiang Xia signaled that there was no problem on his side, and Gonzalez also signaled that there was no problem on his side.

Martin shouted, "Okay, let's shoot, narrator." ”

Geralt saw Agareth as he pushed the door in with his peculiar eyes, so he waved his hand and the door opened, and Agareth walked in the room without the slightest surprise. ”

When an actor acts, the rhythm of some scenes depends on the rhythm of the narrator, and the action must be expressed according to his language.

Jiang Xia's eyes widened a little with the narrator's voice, as if he really saw something, and then returned his eyes to his original Gu Bo without a shock, waved his hand, the door opened, Jiang Xia resumed his previous movements, and put his bare hand on his abdomen, and his wide sleeved robe covered his legs.

This action, Jiangxia is adjusted according to the sitting posture of the Three Kingdoms period, people who don't know must think that this is the action of the island country, but in fact, this is the ancient Chinese way of sitting, in the Tang Dynasty was introduced to the island country, the island people have always admired Chinese culture, and it has been used.

As for my Great Heavenly Dynasty, I later discovered such a good thing as a chair, especially the Taishi chair of the Song Dynasty, which simply opened up a new world, and it turned out that it could still be so comfortable to sit on. In addition, the emperors' inflated psychology, when the emperor was in the court, the emperor sat and the minister stood.

Gonzalez entered the door and saw Jiang Xia, and said to Jiang Xia: "Mr. Geralt, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"

Jiang Xia closed his eyes and said, "Agares, what you should be worried about now is the safety of Alcatraz Island, not how I'm doing. ”

"Mr. Geralt already knows the situation?" Gonzalez asked.

Jiang Xia sighed, opened his eyes, with helplessness in his eyes, he pointed to his eyes and said, "I don't want to know so much, but I do." ”

As he spoke, Jiang Xia picked up the black stick in front of him, stood up with the stick and said, "I remember when I first came to Alcatraz Island, I told you that there will be a beautiful fireworks on Alcatraz Island. ”

As Jiang Xia spoke, he gestured with his other hand, as if a firework was in full bloom. Then Jiang Xia smiled: "Moreover, I also said that the sky after the fireworks belongs to darkness. If you want to ask, I answered you a long time ago. ”

In the tone of his speech, Jiang Xia deliberately chose a slightly mysterious low voice, which seemed a little neurotic.

Gonzalez's eyes lit up and said, "The prophet meant to fight this one?"

"Fight, of course. Jiang Xia's speech suddenly accelerated, and he spoke very resolutely.

Then under Gonzalez's gaze, Jiang Xia leaned slightly on a wooden stick, walked to the window, looked out the window and said: "This battle will be fought sooner or later, now is the best time, and it is also the time to win." I looked out at the river of time, saw the angel garden, fell from the sky to the earth, and countless angels broke their wings and died. ”

Then he turned his head to look at Gonzalez and said, "If this battle is not fought, the river of time will enter a fork in the road, and on that road, I saw Alcatraz Island fall into the depths of the sea, and all the demons are moaning and struggling, but finally they will return to darkness, and the demons will disappear forever." ”

Gonzalez nodded abruptly and said, "Thank you Prophet Geralt, I know what to do!"

With that, Gonzalez turned around and went out.

Jiang Xia in the room, after Gonzalez went out, his eyes narrowed, his body was slightly straightened, it seemed that the corners of his mouth had an arc, and he didn't seem to have it, he waved his hand to close the door, returned to his original position a few steps faster than just now, continued to put the black stick in front of him, knelt behind the black stick again, gathered all his expressions, and returned to calm.

"Ok, click!" called Martin.

Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes to look around. I was immersed in the character before, and I didn't pay attention to the situation around me at all.

When he stood up, Martin applauded, "Jiang, your performance is fantastic." ”

Not only Martin was applauding, Andre and Jessica were also applauding in surprise, and screenwriter Will gave Jiang Xia a thumbs up.

Jiang Xia smiled, finally not ashamed.

Andre came up and hugged Jiang Xia and said, "It's a wonderful performance, amazing." ”

Jessica also came over and said, "It's very powerful, it's really different from the original." ”

Jiang Xia said: "I just said to let the two of you rest assured, you two are still so worried about me, now you can rest assured, right?"

"Pretty reassuring, haha. Jessica and Andre said together.

Martin also came over and said, "Jiang, your performance is great, very good. The handling of expressions is also in place, and the most important thing is that it has passed over one time, and the lines can be remembered so well. It's good, it's good. It seems that Mr. Ogg has a really good eye, and he can find that you are so good at acting. ”

"It's also that the role is relatively simple, give me a leading role to play, two days is definitely not enough. Jiang Xia said with a smile.

Martin's attitude was not a little more enthusiastic than before, and he said in an already familiar tone: "Jiang, do you know Jessica and Andre?"

"Old friends for many years. Jessica said.

Andrei also said: "Yes, almost ten years?"

"Almost. Jiang Xia said.

Martin was surprised: "But I have never heard them mention that they have such a powerful friend, I knew that we would have invited you a long time ago." ”

"It's really great, and some of the details of the characters are fantastic. "I noticed a few details, the tone of my voice, the speed of my speech, and the pace of my back and forth, all of which were different, as were the subtle expressions on my face. ”

Jessica also said, "I noticed it too, what do you think? At first, he was a cripple? But he didn't look like it, and he had a physical problem, but the last behavior showed that he was pretending before?"

Jiang Xia nodded and said: "I think Mr. Will and Director Martin should understand this, it is related to my understanding of the role, and I will explain it to you later, anyway, in my understanding, my role needs to behave like this." ”

"It's good, it's really better than the original. Jessica said.

Martin said two more words before shouting: "This one, change the scene, shoot the next one." ”

A group of people walked out, and the makeup artist had already gathered around to touch up Jiang Xia's makeup, and the prop master also came up and told Jiang Xia how to use the few props that he would use in the next game.

The next shot was in front of a green screen, and Geralt was shot standing on the high mountain of Alcatraz Island, watching the battle between angels and demons up close, and then taking out the props that could sneak attack the energy crystal.

Zhang asked Jiang Xia when he was resting: "How does it feel to be praised by so many people for your acting skills? This is the first time I have seen you play a role that is not your own work." ”

"The truth of acting is to figure it out, understand and analyze the role, substitute yourself into the role, experience the role, think of the way to perform, and finally perform it. I used to play my own work, which is to save trouble, I know how to act, just because I can't play other roles. Jiang Xia said with a smile.

"Come on, maybe you can rely on this role to make a fire in the United States. Zhang said.

Jiang Xia shook his head and said: "It's not enough, I really want to make a fire in the United States, either make a Hollywood blockbuster that meets the aesthetics of the United States, or shoot our own things to influence the United States." For example, I shoot the city full of gold armor, one is to control the blockbuster field, the second is to make money, and the third is to impact the rice market to see the reaction. ”

"Do you want to make costume films?" Zhang asked.

Jiang Xia said: "Besides, it's not decided yet, let's do the work in front of us first." ”

"Come on, play well. Continue to amaze them. ”

"Definitely. ”
