Chapter 57: Willing to Gamble and Lose
"Okay, I'm going to take the various movement techniques you designed very seriously to make sure that I won't be casual and perfunctory in the future. Chris Tucker was shocked by Li Xuan's outstanding performance after Li Xuan's easy performance of an impromptu performance, and finally said this defeat reluctantly after a while.
He really didn't expect in advance that Li Xuan would have such a talent-based personal ability, and the level of improvisation was not worse than the average level of his usual performance in the crew. Even in a rivalry scene between the two of them just now, after both of them started to improvise at the same time, he even couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Li Xuan's personal scenes later!
Not surprisingly, director Brett Ratner, on his part, had no objections to the two of them in this improvisational scene, which was quite well clashing. Moreover, the director especially expressed a very strong surprise and welcome attitude towards Li Xuan's sudden beautiful change of script and new self-performance and new characteristics.
"Lee, I really appreciate your new performance that has changed from ordinary fierce and cold to a more complex expression and attitude like a knife in a smile, and you fully reveal the complex personality of a high-ranking arms dealer in this free-play scene. This is the look that a villain with a high status should have, and your impromptu improvisation easily gives your character more vivid colors, and you do a great job!"
Director Bright Ratner took advantage of his free time and came over in person in front of Chris Tucker and specially praised Li Xuan, which made Chris Tucker on the side even more helpless and had to admit that he had failed.
And seeing that Chris Tucker is now looking like he is being devastated and devastated now, director Brett Ratner suddenly said to him with a little dissatisfaction: "Chris, you are in a very bad state now, and even the best improvisation has lost its characteristics." So, hurry up and adjust me back to the best state as soon as possible! Moreover, you had better master the action scenes that Li Xuan designed for you as quickly as possible, otherwise I will add all your action scenes to Jack in the future, or give Li a little more scenes. ”
"Mr. Director, I know it's wrong, I'll work harder in the future, I'm sorry!" Fortunately, Chris Tucker, the black buddy, barely came out of his pride and complacency a little after Li Xuan's sudden blow, and at this moment he quickly understood that he couldn't continue to make the director more dissatisfied with him. So, he had to echo it again and again, and his apology was much more sincere than usual.
Seeing this, director Brett Ratner didn't say anything more, sighed and walked away.
Basically, that's his last piece of advice to Chris Tucker. He'd said it many times, so he might not have just been a threat. At this time, he should really have an idea, once Chris Tucker continues to perform not well enough, he will decisively add some scenes to Fang Long or Li Xuan and others, as long as the scenes are exciting, and the normal production of the entire movie will never be affected because of the problems of Chris Tucker's role.
"Li, can you tell me how you did that kind of wonderful improvisation just now? When you were playing with me, according to the script, you should just raise a gun, then take out a white handkerchief to wipe my face, and finally make a gesture to kill me, which is a very fixed simple scene. Why are you able to improvise so easily to suppress my play, and when did you learn to improvise?"
When the director left here, Chris Tucker still remembered the specific experience of losing the bet just now, and wanted Li Xuan to personally analyze how he beat him with improvisation.
Li Xuan just smiled at this situation, and didn't bother to explain it in a long way, and said simply: "Actually, there is really no special difficulty in improvisation, as long as you fully understand the big scene during the whole filming, and you can think quickly and react quickly, it is not as good as when you were self-righteous in the past." ”
"For example, in the scene just now, the line you said to me was that you used the gun incorrectly, theoretically speaking, the audience will think that my character will put down the gun as you wish. But I'm going to do the opposite, and in a well-soundproofed secret room in the scene, I decisively shoot you in the head with an empty shot, deliberately scaring you first, and doing so will easily create an unexpected situation! ”
"As for the later scenes, I continue to use this kind of pondering the psychology of the audience, and then try to act in a way that they can't guess at all, and at the same time stick to the core factor of my identity as a big arms dealer, and try my best to perform in this aspect. The whole scene is still in control of me at all times, and the improvisation is not a big deal at all!"
"What, it's that easy?" Chris Tucker listened, obviously incredulous.
Li Xuan smiled indifferently again, but nodded seriously: "Yes, it's that easy!"
Chris Tucker seemed to want to dwell on Li Xuan about this issue again, but Li Xuan no longer paid attention to him, but quickly shifted the topic back to those action scenes: "Mr. Chris Tucker, I am willing to lose the bet, since you promised me, don't affect my future work." In fact, I will tell you again now, I have been very serious about teaching you according to your aptitude, and you should be able to easily master the technical movements you designed, and there will never be the kind of difficult movements that you think cannot be completed. ”
Chris Tucker reluctantly nodded: "Well, I'll study hard and hope to master it." ”
His attitude has softened a lot, and the arrogant attitude of Lao Tzu who was the best in the world before seems to be even more hidden at this time.
Li Xuan didn't continue to further hit this guy who had already had low morale, and it was rare to throw a little bait at this guy with a new exciting statement: "My various specific action designs, in fact, can easily bring out your new image of grandeur in the movie." You don't know any kung fu originally, but as long as you follow my requirements and use the moves I designed for you, you can definitely show the powerful state of a super action master in front of the audience. In other words, I can make you look like a real action superstar!"
"You're saying that I'm the kind of action superstar who can play like you, who moves beautifully, and who has a lot of skill?" Chris Tucker's eyes lit up and he was a little excited.
Li Xuan was a little expected of his reaction, and couldn't help but laugh secretly: "Yes, it's the kind of kung fu superstar that makes people think that you are very powerful, which can make you become a more powerful hero in the eyes of the audience." I think I've already told you many times about this, and it will definitely broaden your acting path and make you more popular with action fans. ”
"Haha, in this way, I may really be able to surpass Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the film and television image, and become a new generation of Hollywood action superstars with a different and oriental action aesthetic! Okay, I'm going to calm down again and try to learn the moves you designed!" Chris Tucker has regained some bold struggle ideas, showing that he is still easily carried away by temptation and temptation. It really looks like a fish, and he only has the memory to remember the lesson for a short time.
In the face of this habitual temptation and new motivation, he has not been able to maintain it for a long time in the past, and I don't know how long he will be able to continue to work hard this time.
