Chapter 51: The Master in the Neurological Hospital
At five o'clock in the morning, he was awakened by the sound of a telephone, and the number was very unfamiliar.
"Hello? Who? β
There was a low voice: "Is it Mr. Yang Liu?" β
Yang Liu sat up with a bone: "Director Zhou Xingxing!" β
Zhou Xingxing coughed: "I'm sorry, maybe it's rare and weird, I thought about it carefully, and watched the camera playback, you really didn't use any special equipment when performing!" You are a real person with real kung fu! β
Yang Liu said: "Well, I was meant to be!" β
Zhou Xingxing said: "I've been making kung fu movies for so many years in vain, and I'm really ashamed!" β
Yang Liu said: "It's nothing, no one can accept it all at once." β
Zhou Xingxing said: "So I thought, can you come over and help me complete the filming of an important supporting role?" β
The ups and downs of life are too fast, it's so exciting!
As an actor, who would refuse the king of comedy!
Yang Liu said excitedly: "Okay! β
After hanging up the phone, he was excited, and hurriedly called Chu Hui again.
"Huihui, I'll discuss something with you."
"You're sick, what time is it?"
"Uh, I'm sorry, I'm going to fly to Dongshan Province right away and play a supporting role in a cameo for about three or four days! Can all the recent announcements be postponed? β
"You're in the wrong head? Do you know how much money we lose? In the current market, making money is like grabbing money! β
"I've decided ......"
"I'll let you die, I don't agree anyway!"
"Uh, forget jì sue sù you, the director and star of this play, it's Zhou Xingxing!"
"What? Why don't you say it earlier, you hurry up and go! β
"Huh?"
"Director Zhou takes a fancy to you, it's like winning 10 million lottery, whoever doesn't go is stupid!"
β¦β¦
In order to facilitate the filming of the two places, Zhou Xingxing chose the filming location in Lingtong City, Dongshan Province, which not only has the largest film and television base in the country, but also has extremely convenient transportation.
As soon as he arrived on the set, Yang Liu was deeply shocked!
He has seen some of the world, but when he sees the huge crew with thousands of participants, he still gasps!
This is not the most exaggerated, it is said that it cost tens of millions of dollars just to build the main shooting location "Old Street"!
What a bold and generous spending!
After experiencing yesterday's "Gecko Swimming Wall" incident, Director Zhou Xingxing has great respect for Yang Liu: "Yang Liu, this play is called "Dragon and Tiger", oh, take a look at the script, due to the schedule, I will finish filming your scene first, of course, the action scene here is the big head, I believe you will not disappoint everyone." β
Yang Liu said: "Don't worry! β
He went back to the hotel he had booked and eagerly flipped through it.
The plot of this play is like this:
The old street where the gangster Ah Xingzu has lived for generations is occupied by the "Tiger Head Gang" of the Black Society, and he wants to recapture it by various means, and after a lot of hardships, he finally achieves his wish and holds the beauty.
At first glance, the story is very old-fashioned, but the nonsensical plots and unbelievable structure still make people scream, "listening to thunder in a silent place" and "laughing with tears", this is the typical style of director Zhou Xingxing.
Yang Liu's own role has roughly four acts.
In the first act, a funny appearance: Ah Xing lost his home, and before his father died, he accidentally learned that he had a second uncle, who was strong in martial arts, but because of his lovelorn and crazy and lived in a mental hospital, Ah Xing hurriedly looked for it and asked the second uncle to go out of the mountain;
In the second act, a shocking appearance: the second uncle really didn't cover it, he was extremely stylish, and he cleaned up the "Tiger Head Gang" of the Black and Astringent Society;
Act 3, conspiracy: Seeing that the second uncle was invincible, the Tiger Head Gang found a killer who resembled his ex-girlfriend to set a trap, and the second uncle fell off a cliff and disappeared;
Act IV, Fighting to the Death: The second uncle survived the catastrophe and desperately protected Ah Xing, buying time for his escape and comeback, but he was heroically defeated at the hands of the big boss of the Black Society.
All in all, Yang Liu, the "second uncle of nerves", does not have many scenes, but throughout the whole play, the role is extremely outstanding.
He studied for a long time, and finally understood one thing: he was in charge of the mask-made performance, he should be funny when he should be funny, he should be pretending/forced to be forced, and there was no need to show any deep inner things at all.
This is also one of the biggest drawbacks of director Zhou Xingxing's works, funny, lively, and profitable, but lacking some so-called "main themes", director zhì has never won the favor of the judges of major mainstream film festivals, so that he is in his forties, and he still has not won any of the actor laurels.
The next morning, after a long preparation, Yang Liu was officially put into filming.
"Action!"
After putting on makeup, Zhou Xingxing was at least ten years younger.
As the camera advances, he takes a young and handsome photo and begins to look for his legendary and powerful second uncle in a mental hospital.
In the middle of the corridor, there stood a stern gentleman, dressed in a straight suit and meticulously groomed hair, and recited aloud: "Who can escape the sanction of time? It can't be seen, it can't be touched, but it affects our lives all the time......"
Zhou Xingxing said: "Uh, can you please let me go?" β
The gentleman said without a smile: "Has Standiniavsky heard of it?" β
Zhou Xingxing said: "Who?" β
The gentleman said: "Standiniavsky! β
Zhou Xingxing shook his head.
The gentleman said: "You should read it, his poems are very profound and full of philosophy of life!" β
Zhou Xingxing said: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, so what is not a dead chicken, let's discuss it later, okay?" β
The gentleman said, "It doesn't matter, I'll give you a copy of his poems." β
Zhou Xingxing took it and took a look, and it was impressively printed with "Boutique Spring/Palace Atlas of the Past Dynasties......
His eyes widened!
As he walked, the gentleman said earnestly, "Be sure to study it carefully, it's very beneficial!" β
I saw that his front was neatly dressed, but his back was torn into a mess, and he was still exposed with a half-white fart/stock......
Zhou Xingxing shuddered, and then walked inside.
There was a sudden mess in front of me, and several patients in blue stripes dragged a foaming doctor like a dead dog, shouting, "Let go!" Let's get it! Dr. Liu is crazy...... Dr. Liu is crazy......"
Zhou Xingxing stuck to the wall in a large font to dodge, and swallowed saliva with palpitations.
He searched for his second uncle from ward to ward, and saw one crazy man after another with strange shapes, and was finally told that the second uncle stayed in the small garden to bask in the sun.
At the edge of the garden, two patients are playing chess.
The lewd/trivial fat man said: "Why can your prime minister cross the river and eat my general?" β
Dry thin glasses man: "He is the prime minister, and his official position is very big!" Go wherever you want! β
The obscene/trivial fat man shouted: "Then why can't my pawns kill your soldiers?" β
The man with thin glasses said: "Shh, because he is an undercover agent sent by me, everyone is their own people, why is it too anxious to fry each other......"
In the depths of the garden, Zhou Xingxing finally found the young and handsome second uncle.
The second uncle looked very normal and sat on the bench with a smile.
Zhou Xingxing said excitedly: "Second uncle! β
Yang Liu said: "Oh, I know you, you are Ah Xing!" β
Zhou Xingxing pulled his clothes: "Second uncle, you hurry up and go back with me, our home is occupied by bad people!" β
Yang Liu said: "That's nothing, the old doesn't go, the new doesn't come!" Take it and take it! β
Zhou Xingxing was dumbfounded: "Second uncle, are you sick?" β
Yang Liu said: "Nonsense, I can still be here if I am not sick?" β
Zhou Xingxing tried his best, but the second uncle just didn't go in the oil and salt, and said that he wouldn't go back.
Zhou Xingxing had no choice but to take out a tattered ragdoll white rabbit, "Do you know this thing?" β
Yang Liu's face showed confusion and pain: "Lan Lan...... Lan Lan! β
Zhou Xingxing said: "Not bad! Those bad guys took your first love, Lan Lan, and snatched her lollipop......"
Yang Liu said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, see that I can't go over and smoke them to death!" β
Zhou Xingxing said happily: "Great! Let's go! β
Yang Liu got up angrily and took a step.
Suddenly, he fell to the ground with a thud, and his face was disgraced, causing a burst of dust and smoke!
The camera moved, and it turned out that there was a thick iron chain on his ankle, and there was an incomparably huge iron ball attached to it......
The first scene was filmed quite smoothly, and director Zhou Xingxing praised: "Oh, Yang Liu, your eyes are so sad when you recall your first love for your girlfriend, not bad!" β
Yang Liu said modestly: "There are many good places in me, you can slowly discover ......"
