Chapter 169: Magic Tricks
Luo Tian and Zhao Wei came to the crew together, Zhao Wei is already familiar with the way, and directly found Zhou Xingxing, Zhou Xingxing is angry at the moment, Zhang Baizhi and Mo Wenwei are too disagreeable, they left directly, and they didn't say a word, and they would be angry if they were replaced by other directors, not to mention Zhou Xingxing, who has a more maverick personality.
However, after seeing Luo Tian coming, Zhou Xingxing also had some interest, after all, he is a Berlin actor, there are few people with such a name in Hong Kong City, even if it is rumored that Luo Tian got the Berlin actor by chance to meet a little lucky ingredient in it, but winning the award is winning the award, at this time, it is not possible to hide the fact that Luo Tian won the award.
And when promoting his own movie, the Berlin actor is also a publicity gimmick. Zhou Xingxing also said very enthusiastically: "Welcome Mr. Luo to our crew, I have been looking forward to your coming for a long time, I am very interested in some of your performances in Xiao Wu, I hope you can have a good performance in my movie." ”
Luo Tian said with a smile: "Director Zhou is polite, you see that now is the start of the audition, or put on makeup." ”
At this time, Luo Tian was actually very straightforward, because he knew that Zhou Xingxing was actually such a very straightforward person, and he was unwilling to delay anything on such a problem.
If it is said that the audition is passed, then everyone is a partner, and eating or something is not a problem, and if it is said that the audition is not passing, then on such a question, at this time, everyone goes back to their own home, each finds their own mother, and there is nothing else to say.
Zhou Xingxing was very satisfied and said: "Happy people, talking to happy people is happy, then we don't want to make up, it's just a formality, this time I invited Mr. Luo Tian to come because of the magic that Mr. Luo Tian performed in Xiao Wu, I don't know if Mr. Luo Tian can perform it on the spot." ”
At this time, Zhao Wei was a little unhappy, the magic show, that needs to be prepared, at this time Luo Tian is wearing a short-sleeved shirt, in the weather like Hong Kong City, it is normal to wear a short-sleeved shirt now. And if you wear a short-sleeved shirt to perform magic tricks, this is somewhat embarrassing.
Therefore, Zhao Wei took over and said: "Director, performing magic requires preparation, and I don't think there is any need for impromptu performances." ”
Zhou Xingxing glanced at Zhao Wei without saying anything, and then glanced at Luo Tian, which means very obvious, now it's up to you.
Luo Tian didn't actually perform immediately, but frowned and said: "The director's request is actually nothing, but I'm here to act, if you perform magic, it is more conflicting with acting, and it is not within the scope of acting."
Therefore, if I want to perform magic tricks and perform magic tricks in front of the camera, then I will have to double my salary at that time, because I am not only an actor in the crew, but also a magician, and one person works part-time for two people, and according to the convention, I have to have two people's salaries. ”
This is Luo Tian's insistence, and Zhou Xingxing asked him to perform magic in a short-sleeved state, which is indeed a little difficult for him. But Luo Tian didn't directly refuse, because Luo Tian was already very clear about Zhou Xingxing's character in such a matter, and he was stingy and stingy, at this time, asking him to increase his salary was a very good means of revenge, on such a problem, Zhou Xingxing was really pale, this Luo Tian is not so easy to deal with.
Originally, Zhou Xingxing thought that letting Luo Tian know his rules was equivalent to killing a wrestle or something.
After all, Luo Tian is a Berlin actor, and he is such a young Berlin actor, so at such a time, if it is said that Luo Tian is young and vigorous and does not obey discipline or anything, then it is understandable on such a problem.
Therefore, at such a time, Zhou Xingxing decided that Luo Tian was difficult to discipline, so there was a direct problem. But he didn't expect Luo Tian to be so cunning and let himself increase his salary.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xingxing said: "You get what you pay for, if Mr. Luo's performance can satisfy me, then I don't mind adding an extra salary." ”
At this time, Zhou Xingxing thought that Luo Tian was in such a situation, he didn't make any preparations, at most he was performing some small magic tricks or something, so at this time, he was very confident that he could suppress Luo Tian.
If it is said that Luo Tian is really performing some small, magic tricks or something at this time, then of course he will not be satisfied with such a thing.
And at this moment, Luo Tian also stood up and said with a smile: "Of course, I believe in my magic and will not disappoint you, Director Zhou, then, now is the time to witness the miracle." ”
After saying this, Luo Tian directly reached out to take the teacup on the table, and between his backhands, the teacup disappeared, the steaming teacup was piping hot tea inside, and the cup of tea that had just been poured disappeared directly from Zhou Xingxing and Zhao Wei's eyes.
It's weird, it's very weird, it's very quiet, as if you can hear a needle drop on the ground. At this moment, Luo Tian continued to pick up some things on the table, what pen holders, scripts, and even Zhou Xingxing's mobile phone.
It's almost like it's in the blink of an eye. In such a situation, Zhou Xingxing was even more surprised that when there was nothing on the table, Luo Tian actually said that he had conjured up all those things one by one, and put them on the table one by one, as if there had been no lyricism in the beginning.
And in the end, Luo Tian directly held his teacup, the tea was still relatively hot, steaming, Luo Tian blew the tea leaves on it, tasted it and said: "Although the tea is good, it is an aged Longjing, and it is not produced in the core production area, if Director Zhou likes it, I will bring some authentic Longjing new tea to Director Zhou." ”
Luo Tian directly shifted the topic to the tea, that was to break the embarrassment of the scene, because Luo Tian's performance was really amazing, it was simply a magical magic trick that had never appeared in front of the camera, this technique, it is hard to believe, it is the general thing that has happened. But this magic trick did happen in front of Zhou Xingxing's eyes, and what he saw with his own eyes naturally meant that he had to believe what this thing was all about.
Therefore, Zhou Xingxing was stunned for a moment, but as if he had obtained a treasure, he said excitedly: "Mr. Luo Tian is really a capable person, after I saw Xiao Wu, I knew that Mr. Luo Tian was a person with unique skills, and the theft in front of the camera was not performed by ordinary people."
Now it seems that I still underestimated Mr. Luo Tian. Okay, you auditioned, and now according to the agreement, I officially invite you to join my Shaolin football crew, one person, two jobs, two salaries. ”
At this time, if Zhou Xingxing's words were known by the outside crew, it would definitely be a big surprise, Zhou Xingxing, a person who picks the door, actually said that he can offer double remuneration at such a time, so in such a situation, it means that Zhou Xingxing is not generally satisfied with Luo Tian.
Luo Tian also smiled and said, "Then, the cooperation is happy." ”
In this way, Luo Tian officially joined the Shaolin football crew.
There is no earth-shattering collision, Zhou Xingxing, who has always been harsh on actors, is also very satisfied with Luo Tian, because he really doesn't know what kind of trick Luo Tian used to make those things nothing.
Although Zhou Xingxing also believes very much in his heart that Luo Tian performed a magic trick at such a time, the key is that you don't know the trick of magic, so this magic trick is magical for you.
Zhou Xingxing didn't know how Luo Tian's magic changed, so the magic shown by Luo Tian was relatively incomprehensible to Zhou Xingxing.
If you are not convinced, although it is said that Zhou Xingxing is more harsh on the actors, Brother Hong Jinbao once said, don't treat yourself as a human being, treat others as dogs, this sentence must be meaningful, which shows that Zhou Xingxing's temper is actually quite irritable, especially when filming, Zhou Xingxing should not be polite at all.
But no matter what kind of temperamental person it is, for people who really have the ability, there must be enough respect.
When the contract was signed, Uncle Da, Huang Yifei and others were on the scene, knowing that Luo Tian was He Ting, who signed a double salary, these people were glasses shattered, this matter is definitely not such a simple thing, Uncle Da knows Zhou Xingxing best, and he cooperates with Zhou Xingxing the most, so although it is said that in such a situation, they are all supporting roles, but no one in the entire crew knows Zhou Xingxing better than him.
Even Uncle Da thinks that there is a problem with such a thing, is a magician worth spending an actor's salary? There aren't too many magicians in Hong Kong City, so just find someone to make a cameo.
But I didn't expect that Zhou Xingxing, who has always been stingy, actually said that he would give Luo Tian a double salary, and at this time, naturally some people were dissatisfied.
However, Uncle Da is also dissatisfied in his heart, he knows this in his heart, but he will definitely not show it, people are old spirits, ghosts and old spirits, when he reaches an age like Uncle Da, then in such a thing, he is actually very careful about the state of hanging high and hanging on his own.
In such a situation, in fact, no matter what it is, there are people who have the same mentality as Uncle Da, but it is not necessary that Uncle Da's life experience can suppress the envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart.
At this point, Karen Mok is a little unhappy, and Mok Wenwei's status in the crew is very special, in such a situation, the relationship between her and Zhou Xingxing is also unusual, it is the kind of thing that everyone knows. And many people in the crew also know that Mok Wenwei and Zhou Xingxing are breaking up now, so the relationship is more tense.
In such a situation, Zhou Xingxing's decision in the crew is generally something that no one dares to disobey, but if Mok Wenwei is talking about the character, then it is not impossible to go against Zhou Xingxing's decision at such a time, or even directly overturn Zhou Xingxing's decision. This is just awkward, nothing else, that is, the relationship between the two people is being tested.
Therefore, in such a state, Karen Mok said a little unhappily: "Director, we are all paid by one person, why after Luo Tian came, a newcomer actually said that he wanted two salaries, how convincing everyone is." Mok Wenwei was not convinced, so she said it directly, in such a situation, no matter how it was said, at this time, in fact, Mok Wenwei did this with enough confidence.
And the rest of the crew, in fact, have the same attitude on such a problem. No one else dares to say such a thing about such a thing.
Zhang Baizhi is actually even more unconvinced, Luo Tian looks like he is about the same age as himself, therefore, in such a situation, he takes one person's salary, and Luo Tian actually said that he takes the salary of two people, which naturally makes Zhang Baizhi very unhappy.
But Zhang Baizhi actually understands very well in his heart, his roots in the entertainment industry are not so deep, and his relationship with Zhou Xingxing is not the deep relationship of Mok Wenwei, so although it is said that at such a time, Zhang Baizhi is also equally dissatisfied, but he does not express it.
And Zhang Baizhi himself actually understands that at such a time, he is the boss in Zhou Xingxing's crew, and if there is one person to challenge your authority, it will already be an accident, if there is one more person, then Zhou Xingxing may say that he can't bear to suppress Mo Wenwei strongly, but if it is said that in such a state, suppress other people, then it is still very possible in such a matter. Therefore, although the actors of the entire crew said that they were not very satisfied with such a news, only Karen Mok jumped out to express her dissatisfaction.
And Zhou Xingxing also seemed to have expected that Mo Wenwei's union would come to this hand, so he directly stood up and said to everyone: "I know, there may be people who are dissatisfied with such a thing and think that it is not appropriate for Luo Tian to sign a double contract."
Actually, I did this on purpose. ”
The scene was quiet, Zhou Xingxing did it on purpose, so why is such a thing, a master is a master, the artist's ideas are really different from ordinary people, generally, the director actually encountered such a situation, and he was trying to cover it up, but he didn't expect Zhou Xingxing to do the opposite.
Zhou Xingxing seemed to be very satisfied with his deterrence, looked at everyone with a puzzled look and said, "Do you know why? In fact, if Mr. Luo Tian and I signed such a contract privately, you don't know the terms of it, right? ”
There is such an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry, and ordinary actors will abide by it, that is, even if it is an actor in the same crew, it is forbidden to inquire about other people's salaries.
Even if the relationship between two people is very good, then in such a situation, it is relatively taboo to ask each other about remuneration or something.
Therefore, in such a situation, Zhou Xingxing is not wrong in saying this, if Zhou Xingxing does not let everyone know about the signing, then I believe that at least few people in the crew know how much Luo Tian's salary is, and even Zhao Wei will not ask Luo Tian's salary how much, let alone other people.
Uncle Da said jokingly: "Director, you won't let us drool, two salaries, but it's the only one in the crew." ”
This is a joke, but on such a question, if you think about it carefully, this matter may not necessarily be a joke.
Therefore, in such a situation, at this time, Zhou Xingxing said with a smile: "It's not a joke at all, in fact, this is just my intention, I just used a contract like this to tell everyone, if you have enough ability, that is, you have enough ability to get the reward you want." I'm just telling everyone, if you have any ability, just take it out, don't hide it.
Mr. Luo Tian gets two salaries, that's because he can perform magic, as for what kind of realm Mr. Luo Tian's magic is, you will know when it comes to filming, and I promise, you have not seen similar magic tricks.
If it's to say that any of you have such a ability, then you will be paid twice, if you say, if not, then shut up and make movies honestly. ”
At this time, Zhou Xingxing said something like this, and the last sentence was directly looking at Mok Wenwei and said, this sentence is actually very common and simple, in such a matter, it is natural to deliberately warn Mok Wenwei, some things should not be done too much, it is better to be more restrained, this is a small warning to Mok Wenwei. As for whether Karen Mok is willing to listen to this warning in such a situation, it is difficult to say. (To be continued.) )
