Chapter 60: The Life of a Culinary Artist (10)

Director Wu Dayu's new film is a police film.

Although the film with the theme of police and bandits is not a new theme, it can be shot often and always new, and directors of all eras can give it new characteristics through their own understanding.

Ng Daewoo is one of the most talented directors in the industry today, and after he carefully finalized the script and began to prepare for filming with full of creative passion and confidence, almost everyone believes that his new film will add a strong touch to the field of police and gangster films.

Honghui Pictures Company even held a high-level meeting for several days in a row, and finally managed to get a super high budget.

I don't know if it's because of the confidence given by all parties, Director Wu Dayu, who is already known for his pursuit of perfection, is even more serious this time, finding fault in every link and striving for perfection.

So when the actor who played the second male lead failed to pick the most suitable candidate, the progress of the new film was hindered, and the start of the film was postponed.

Until Tong Han sent him a newcomer who didn't have any qualifications other than being beautiful.

At the beginning, Wu Dayu was very angry that Tong Han was solemn and stuffed him with a person - it is an open secret in the circle that Tong Han likes young and beautiful boys, this is Tong Han's private hobby, and others can't care about it. But he actually gave a little lover to a role he valued so much! Is there anything more angry than this for a director who is so serious about his work that he is almost religious!

The second male lead in this film is a character who is both good and evil, and his personality is very distinct.

He is young, handsome, calm, ruthless and at the same time has a hint of conscience. As the adopted son of a big drug lord, he has transcendent power and status in the gang; But because he is only an adopted son, the big drug lord always can't really rest assured of him, and his vigilance and temptation make him develop a sensitive, suspicious and somewhat withdrawn character.

It is extremely difficult to interpret such a somewhat contradictory character, and the company found no less than 20 actors for Wu Dayu to audition, but who knew that Wu Dayu had an obsessive-compulsive disorder attack, and he resolutely preferred to lack it to abuse, and he vetoed all these 20 candidates.

originally wanted to be perfect, and would rather waste some time to find an actor who meets the perfect image in his mind, who knew that the mouse ate meat for the cat, and Wu Dayu himself withstood the pressure from all sides to leave this role vacancy that was used by Tong Han as a favor!

Wu Dayu was so angry that it took a lot of perseverance to control himself to let Sinan audition first instead of slapping the table with Tong Han first, after all, that one was the largest shareholder of Honghui Pictures, and he couldn't really offend.

In order to make his rejection of Tong Hansai's behavior more "reasonable", Wu Dayu deliberately picked a difficult clip for Zhou Yin to audition on the spot.

even in order to "contrast" to produce a distinct effect, he also asked the actor Fang Zikun, who had already decided to play the male lead, to play against him.

Fang Zikun is in his early thirties, he is a veritable powerful actor, although he is not the most outstanding, he is good-looking, plus he has connotation, good temperament, first-class acting skills, and can give his own personal charm to the role while acting like something, he has won many various awards, and he is already a first-line star in China, and he is worth a lot of money.

It stands to reason that Si Nan, a little-known person who has only acted in a group performance, must have pressure to play against Fang Zikun, and he was also asked to audition for such a difficult plot, and everyone present saw that Director Wu Da's purpose was to make him retreat.

Because they are all not very optimistic about inserting/inserting a role in this very rigorous work, everyone collectively came to watch Sinan audition with a play-watching mentality.

When Zhou Yin dressed neatly and carefully according to the requirements of the role, dressed up as a very wealthy nobleman, and walked in elegantly, everyone, including Director Wu Dayu, was stunned, thinking that it was no wonder that Tong Hanken made an exception for him to go through the back door, it is indeed beautiful, and it is rare that the temperament is also excellent! If he is willing to work hard in front of Tong Han on this condition, it is really possible to let the other party make a big deal for him - such as arranging him a role that he was not qualified to get at all.

Si Nan's indistinguishable delicate face has a unique charm after being displayed by Zhou Yin very publicly, it is easy to make people think crookedly, and many people's thinking has instantly turned to how he specifically "persuaded" Tong Han to open this back door for him, and the obscene thinking has unceremoniously thought of the eighteen postures on the bed.

But five minutes into the audition, all these nonsense thoughts were thrown out of his mind, and there was only one thought left: no matter how he got the audition opportunity, it was him anyway!

The audition designated by Wu Dayu is a contest between the male protagonist and the male number two on a cruise ship.

The police got a tip that the gang was going to conduct a large drug deal on a luxury cruise ship on the high seas, so they sent someone (that is, the male protagonist) to break into the gang and follow the cruise ship, wanting to wait for an opportunity to sabotage the deal.

The male number two played by Zhou Yin was very appreciative of the male protagonist who broke into his own interior at first, but he was keen to find a suspicion in the male protagonist's casual words, and then quietly tried to monitor, and finally found the other party's problem, and began to arrange a net on the boat to arrest the male protagonist, but at the last moment, he had compassion and pretended to miss, so that the male protagonist had the opportunity to leave on a speedboat.

What Zhou Yin wants to play is to show compassion and pretend to miss this paragraph.

There are two difficulties in this paragraph:

The first is the psychological change when I feel compassion, because I can't say it, so I can only rely on complex facial expressions and body language to express it;

The second is to pretend to miss, the fighting movements should be smooth, and the miss should be more natural, any bit of stiffness and deliberateness will make the audience feel fake.

Originally, everyone thought that for a person who had no professional skills and whose experience was limited to running a few tricks, it was almost impossible to complete this performance in a hurry!

But the young man recommended by Tong Han rejected this point of view with facts.

"You've let me down!" The beautiful young man sat lazily and elegantly on the sofa with a glass of red wine, and said in a light tone.

Fang Zikun stood in front of him, his face calm, "Young Master Ling, what are you talking about?" Why don't I get it right? ”

Zhou Yin was silent, his sharp gaze fell on Fang Zikun's hand hanging by his side, different from the calmness on his face, his hand was clenched tightly, and his bones were white.

Fang Zikun's eyes flickered, and after quickly assessing the situation, he wisely began to pretend to be stupid and show weakness, "Young Master, is it that I blame Teacher Mike for leaving him angry yesterday?" Raised his hand and smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, I can't apologize?" It's really that the level of what he talks about is too poor, so Young Master Ling might as well let me tell you about it. ”

Young Master Ling played by Zhou Yin is an outlier, in the gang, but he has no interest in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he is not very interested in women, his hobby is to study mathematics, in a sense, his heart is actually very simple, if he changes his growth environment, he may be a sunny boy now.

Young Master Ling grew up abroad since he was a child, and he has always put most of his energy into assisting his father-in-law in managing his subordinates, so his spare time for hobbies is extremely limited, and he can't go to school to study, and sometimes he spends a lot of money to invite teachers from the university to give lectures to him. And Fang Zikun was a highly talented student before joining the police world, with excellent grades in mathematics, physics and chemistry, so he was able to do what he liked after being mixed with Young Master Ling and accompanied him to math classes.

Young Master Ling also appreciated him because of this, Fang Zikun played him not only a subordinate who was so capable that he was about to be promoted unusually, but also a person who could be called a friend.

And he just found out that this friend has a strict problem, and for the sake of insurance, he should immediately get rid of this person!

But this is a friend he recognizes in his heart!

The self-contained spirit disappeared from Zhou Yin's face, and he began to become expressionless, sat up straight and squinted his eyes slightly to look at Fang Zikun.

Although his face was expressionless, everyone could feel from him: he was hesitating and embarrassed! He couldn't bear and didn't want to get rid of the person in front of him who had been a friend.

This is a kind of silent expression at this time in the performance, the use of which is very expressive, and all the experienced people present secretly praise it.

Young Master Ling, played by Zhou Yin, stood up after a short silence, took off his coat and threw it to his subordinates on the side, moved his flexible and slender arms and legs, and raised his chin slightly at Fang Zikun, "It's useless to play stupid with me, my dear, you know my rules, come on!" If you can beat me, I'll give you a good time. The tone was soft, but full of danger.

You must know that the martial arts scenes that the audience sees in the film are all post-processed, many of them are slow-motion and fastened, and they have to be edited and made.

It's not easy to see such a crisp and beautiful section on the spot.

It's also thanks to Fang Zikun that he is a real powerful actor, although he can't be compared with a professional martial arts instructor, he is experienced, and he can still keep up with a few moves, and even at the last moment, Zhou Yin deliberately accidentally kicked an obstacle, he can also react in time and take a few steps to the side, which is counted as the action in the film to take the opportunity to escape after the other party pretends to miss.

Director Wu Dayu shouted to stop, excited and a little strange, and asked Zhou Yin, "Have you studied acting before?" Why is it not in the resume? ”

Zhou Yin politely replied, "I have always had a strong interest in acting and have studied it carefully. "That's the truth, it's not a lie.

The audition went smoothly, and Wu Dayu immediately determined the fastest start-up time, and at the same time took the time to call Tong Han and thank him for sending such a suitable candidate in time.

Tong Han smiled lightly on the phone, "Lao Wu, you don't say much politely, just don't scold me quietly in your heart, and I'll be satisfied if you arrange actors for you." ”

Wu Dayu smiled awkwardly, "How come!" It's too late for me to praise you, I heard Sinan say that he was just a friend of your nephew, and he happened to live with your nephew for a few days, but I didn't expect you to see that he has talent in acting, and his vision is so good! ”

Tong Han didn't need him to say anything nice, he just told him that Si Nan was still a student, and he needed to take more care of him when shooting and going out on location.

Wu Dayu had already stopped thinking about the relationship between Sinan and him, and then he couldn't help but suspect again, he cared so much about him because he was not related to him?!

Han Hui also came to praise his uncle after hearing that Zhou Yinshun got that role, "Uncle, you are so good, you can actually discover Si Nan's acting skills!" He is also too observant, and he shows you all the cooking skills these days. ”

Tong Han, "I didn't tell you, I asked people to send the clip he played in "Worry-free Jianghu" in advance to watch it. ”

Han Hui still admires it, "Then you have to think of it, who would generally think of it for no reason to check whether the chef's acting skills are good." ”

Tong Han's face was expressionless, "It's because he recited a passage of Shakespeare to me that day." ”

Han Hui was surprised, "Huh! What did he read to you? ”

"A very touching confession of love!"
