Chapter 9 Actually, I'm an actor

When the film started filming, Wang Jing was entangled in the big and small things in the crew and couldn't get out, and Lin Youlun finally got quiet for a while.

The main shooting scene of this movie "Baby Smart Multi-star" (also known as "Home Alone") is a big house, with a storyboard script provided by Lin Youlun, and Wang Jing's filming speed is not as slow as he wants. Deborah was in charge on the set, and Xie Tingfeng obediently cooperated with the filming at other times, except for the occasional little mood. He is still too young, and he only treats filming as a joke, and his natural innocence is revealed, which makes the film achieve unexpected results.

This is the nature of a child, and it has nothing to do with acting skills, what really makes Wang Jing's eyes shine is the performance of Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda. These two guys are mediocre in other films, but acting in a comedy is like a different person, from the action expression to the deep grasp of the entire role, they are very accurate. Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda have actually known each other for a long time in private, the two live on the same street, often eat together, and cooperate tacitly in the play, as if they were natural partners.

Of course, in addition to being happy, Wang Jing was also distressed, and the problem was precisely Zhou Xingchi, who he was most optimistic about. This guy is born to act in comedy, and Wang Jing has long been convinced of this, but this guy is too thoughtful, and sometimes it is not a good thing for the director.

"Cards!"

Wang Jing stood up from the monitor angrily, pointed at Zhou Xingchi and scolded: "How did you do it, I already told you what to do just now, who asked you to change it?" ”

"But director, don't you think that when this action is added, my performance will be even more funny?" This is the most devoted performance of Zhou Xingchi since he took over this play, he thought that his inspiration flashed and added this action, and the director would applaud after watching it, but he didn't expect it to attract Wang Jing to scold, and he suddenly felt a little aggrieved in his heart.

"Are you a director or am I a director?" Wang Jing's anger is naturally the reason, the contract he signed with Lin Youlun is very clear, Zhou Xingchi does not act according to the script, Wang Jing will not be able to explain to Lin Youlun.

Wang Jing is the only one in the crew who knows about the storyboard script, and on the surface, he is also trying to maintain his authority as a director, so the crew doesn't think there's anything wrong with him getting angry at this time.

What's more, Zhou Xingchi is just a nameless actor, and he has no qualifications to call the board in front of Wang Jing.

Zhou Xingchi was young and vigorous and a little unconvinced, Wu Mengda on the side hurriedly stood up to play a round, he apologized to Wang Jing for Zhou Xingchi, and at the same time gave Zhou Xingchi a look and told this kid to shut up.

"Director Wang, this kid is a newcomer and is not very sensible, don't be like him!"

Wu Mengda is different from Zhou Xingchi, he also had a period of time after graduating from the wireless acting class, if it weren't for his own incompetence, he would be a big star with a head and a face now. With this qualification, Wu Mengda was still a little thin in front of Wang Jing, he opened his mouth to plead, and Wang Jing did not continue to scold Zhou Xingchi, but just glared at this disobedient prickly head fiercely, and the warning in his eyes was very obvious.

"This scene will be reshot tomorrow!"

Wang Jing dropped such a sentence and left in a huff. The people around them all dispersed, and only Zhou Xingchi was still standing in place angrily.

Wu Mengda glanced at him, couldn't help but shake his head, and said: "When I was filming, I did my own thing like you, and I offended a lot of people later, you must not learn from me, otherwise you will be unlucky." ”

Zhou Xingchi pouted disapprenously, "It's a big deal to go back to playing tricks, I don't believe I won't have a chance to ...... in the future."

Without waiting for Zhou Xingchi to finish speaking, Wu Mengda hurriedly made a boo gesture at him, and then looked around to make sure that no one heard their conversation just now, so he pulled Zhou Xingchi aside, "You be quiet, if this word reaches the director's ears, you will really have to roll up and get out!" The person who wrote this script must be a master, he has taken care of all aspects, you change the plot without authorization, can the director not be angry? ”…,

"I convince the person who wrote the script, but not the director!"

Zhou Xingchi suddenly said this, which startled Wu Mengda.

"I don't care what you think in your heart, but don't say it for people to hear, for the sake of your past friendship, I will help you speak, don't be ignorant!"

Wu Mengda warned Zhou Xingchi and asked him to control his mouth and not talk nonsense.

——

Wang Jing turned around and called the assistant director over, saying that today's scene would not be filmed, and asked the crew to call it a day early. He couldn't make up his mind about how to treat Zhou Xingchi, so he could only run to ask Lin Youlun for advice.

Still in that teahouse, Lin Youlun listened to Wang Jing pour bitter water for a long time.

This fat man is complaining about Zhou Xingchi's disobedience on the surface, but in fact, he thinks that the contract and treaty are too strict, and he feels a little constrained as a director, and the actor has little room for free play.

"He has his own understanding of the plot, as long as it's not too outrageous, just let him go." Lin Youlun picked up the teacup and took a sip, "As for you, just shoot according to the script honestly, and you don't need to use too much brains, anyway, I am the one who is most afraid of smashing and losing the most." ”

Wang Jing was hit hard by Lin Youlun's words, and the expression on his face was not to mention how depressed he was.

"Would you rather trust a guy who runs the trick than believe me? It's a shame that I usually trust you so much, it seems that I made a friend of yours for nothing! ”

Lin Youlun smiled noncommittally, many people in later generations thought that Wang Jing fulfilled Zhou Xingchi's status as the "king of comedy", because in the early 90s, "Xingye" also cooperated with other directors when he was at his most popular, but when it comes to audience popularity and box office results, it is still the works he and Wang Jing jointly concocted are the most, and Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi are both representatives of Hong Kong's postmodern nonsensical comedy, and it is inevitable that some people will equate the two.

Once upon a time, the combination of Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi was a symbol of nonsensical comedy and high box office, but unfortunately without Zhou Xingchi, Wang Jing's works are no longer beautiful, but Zhou Xingchi, who is a writer and director, is still brilliant, and the gap between the two can be seen from this point.

In front of Wang Jing, Lin Youlun definitely can't say that you really can't compare to that guy in the future, that would hurt people's self-esteem too much.

"Because you're the director!" Lin Youlun lifted the teapot and filled Wang Jing's cup with water, asking him to drink saliva to moisten his throat first, and then said: "I know that you make movies to make money, but have you ever thought that you can also gain fame and fortune?" ”

Wang Jing couldn't help but didn't speak, for fear that Lin Youlun would dig a pit again this time and make him jump in.

"In this play, you let Zhou Xingchi play freely, if he becomes an instant hit, everyone will think that it is you, Director Wang Da, who has fulfilled him; But if Zhou Xingchi's performance in this play is decent, and he becomes famous in other movies later, everyone will only say that you buried him. Lin Youlun pursed his lips, "I'm saying this for your own good, as for whether you listen or not, it's up to you." ”

Wang Jing sat there and thought for a long time, and suddenly stood up without saying a word and walked out, only to hear Lin Youlun shouting from behind.

"It's your treat, don't forget to check out when you go out!"
