Chapter 116: The Origin of My Brother

"Yan Zai, you're not up to par. The actor didn't laugh, but you laughed first! When he said this, Cheng Xiaodong also had a thief's smile on his face. Actually, this ng is no different from cut. Because this shot, that's exactly the end of it. And Lu Yan's laughter completely replaced 'cut'. However, he didn't mind taking advantage of this time to make fun of Lu Yan.

In this regard, Lu Yan shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said: "Mistake, the key is that Rong Shao's performance just now stimulated the cells of my body too much!" ”

And Leslie Cheung, Li Zixiong and the gang didn't know what was going on, and they all looked at Lu Yan in a daze.

For such a ng, Leslie Cheung was a little puzzled: "Director, was my performance not in place just now?" ”

"Nope! No! You played so well just now, I made a mistake and laughed. Seeing the puzzled expressions of several people, Lu Yan hurriedly smiled and explained: "The performance of the male boy is also very ok, but your performance suddenly made the whole scene more bright spots, and I couldn't help laughing." ”

"Hmm......"

Lu Yan's explanation suddenly made Leslie Cheung a little speechless. After filming for so many years, it is the first time I have met a director who laughs because of the actor's good performance.

The strange gazes of everyone also made Lu Yan wave his hand a little embarrassed: "Take a break!" That set of shots just now can be used, let's get ready for the next scene! ”

"Haha......"

As soon as Lu Yan's words fell, the other staff members also laughed. followed Lu Yan from "The True Color of Heroes", and it was the first time I saw such a situation happen to a director. And Lu Yan's deflated expression just now was very exciting.

In fact, Lu Yan has always felt that "A Chinese Ghost Story" is one of Leslie Cheung's best films in the early days, and "The True Colors of Heroes II" and "Rouge Buckle", which were nominated for the best actor below, also have outstanding acting skills.

But "A Chinese Ghost Story" is better than making you notice his acting skills at all, his straightforwardness and simplicity. No matter how you look at it, it's all natural, and there is no trace of artificiality. The panic at the end of the crisis, the bravery of forcing composure, and the helplessness in front of the beauty. The infatuation without hesitation is so convincing, unlike many actors who play this kind of simple youth with traces of pretending to be stupid.

If this person is not deeply involved in the world at all, acting like this may be said to be a true performance. But at this time, Leslie Cheung, who has been in and out of the entertainment industry for nearly ten years, is an idol superstar with unparalleled momentum. How could a person in the rivers and lakes, who was accustomed to ups and downs, perform such an innocent temperament, which was really difficult for Lu Yan to understand at that time.

But now that Lu Yan personally directed and filmed "A Chinese Ghost Story", he has a deeper feeling. Since "The True Color of Heroes", he has become good friends with Leslie Cheung. also slowly discovered that Leslie Cheung is like a big child many times. Because of this, his appearance in many roles is definitely with some true emotions in it. And his hard work and dedication, in fact, it can be seen that he has done a lot of preparation work in one scene.

Not to mention being an incomparable idol superstar, even if you find a newcomer to come over, you may not be able to do such a conscientious job as Leslie Cheung. Moreover, he has not complained in the slightest. As long as Lu Yan arranges it, he will act with his heart.

"Rong Shao, later, you will continue to play the role of Ning Caichen with the feeling you just had!"

"Yes! Just stop laughing......" Leslie Cheung laughed, he did integrate into the play just now.

In the next shooting, Leslie Cheung really continued his superb acting skills at the beginning, and the performance of the scholar who was strong and calm was very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Especially after Li Zixiong threw the steamed bun to him, he gritted his teeth and ate it. As Li Zixiong went away, he was suddenly scared to take his luggage like a chicken and spit out steamed buns...... The shooting throughout the day went exceptionally well. This is obviously a great encouragement for the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Moreover, Lu Yan deliberately selected the beginning part for sequential shooting, which is also a means for the actors to slowly improve and integrate into the script. In fact, the effect is still very obvious, at least Leslie Cheung's performance is getting deeper and deeper.

Later, about the filming of Guobei County, Lu Yan and they naturally pressed back. When the filming here is almost the same, Lu Yan will arrange for the crew to go to the Shaw Brothers studio for filming.

However, after the filming of this day, the most bitter is still Leslie Cheung. Although he has changed into dry clothes now, he obviously suffered a slight injury during the filming of the scene where he slid down the hill.

"Rong Shao ......"

Lu Yan and the others were discussing the filming of the next scene in the simple conference room at this time, while Wang Zuxian outside was facing Leslie Cheung with some apprehension.

She watched Leslie Cheung's performance today, and the two were originally acting against each other, so she wanted to ask for advice.

When he saw Wang Zuxian holding the script and looking expectantly, Leslie Cheung didn't understand. Regarding Wang Zuxian, a little girl, Leslie Cheung was still very friendly and said: "Joey, do you feel that you can't figure it out?" ”

"Yes! I don't know how to grasp the next few scenes......" Seeing that Leslie Cheung, the king of the music world, had no fight, Wang Zuxian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Leslie Cheung took Wang Zuxian's script, read it carefully and said, "I'll take a look!" ”

Although Leslie Cheung is now a star in the music world, he has no quarrel with his colleagues. Even if it is a very ordinary staff, he will greet him with a smile. Because of this, whether it was "The True Color of Heroes" or the current crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the staff have a very good impression of Leslie Cheung.

"So be it! When the time comes, we don't have our role, so we often have the right lines or something. All helpful for us......"

"Thank you, Young ...... Rong" Hearing this, Wang Zuxian immediately said gratefully.

"Why did I hear Joey shout Rong Shaoxian so weird......"

Suddenly, Cheng Xiaodong, who had already come out, laughed. In his opinion, Wang Zuxian's call Leslie Cheung 'Rong Shao' is too weird.

Wang Zuxian also felt that when he called the other party 'Rong Shao', he felt weird. The two have a lot of rivalry in the play, and they have to bring the relationship closer both inside and outside the play.

She thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Or I'll call you 'brother'!" ”

Whether it is Leslie Cheung's age or qualifications, he is enough to be Wang Zuxian's elder brother. And shouting like this, it is both intimate and nice. Leslie Cheung nodded with a smile when he heard this: "Brother, how are you!" ”

"So that's how 'brother' came from?" Lu Yan had just come out of the room with a record book at this time, and he only understood when he heard their conversation.

In fact, the reason why Cheng Xiaodong said that Wang Zuxian's call of Leslie Cheung 'Rong Shao' is too weird, mainly because he hopes that the relationship between the male and female protagonists can be closer. This is also a great help for him to coordinate the actors to play opposite scenes when the time comes. And Wang Zuxian is obviously very smart, and Leslie Cheung is a good person, so the nickname 'brother' was born.

"Everyone is ready to eat, and there are hard tasks waiting for us in the evening." Lu Yan shouted at everyone, and then said to Leslie Cheung: "Brother, shall we eat first?" ”

"Yan Zai, you are going to die!" Seeing Lu Yan joking with himself, Leslie Cheung immediately pounced on the other party 'viciously'.

"You're a murder director, and it's fitting for me to call your brother. Don't you want me to shout 'Uncle Zhang'? ”

"Poof!"

"Haha......"

As soon as Lu Yan's 'Uncle Zhang' came out, everyone immediately laughed.

In fact, not long after, Leslie Cheung completely had two more nicknames. One is 'brother' and the other is 'uncle'. The former became everyone's affectionate name for him, while the latter became a tricky and funny name.

The atmosphere of filming "A Chinese Ghost Story" this time is obviously much more harmonious than when everyone just cooperated on "The True Color of Heroes", and they often joke with each other. When filming, Lu Yan rarely gets angry and scolds.

After eating, everyone did not forget to discuss the shooting of the evening.

"Yan Zai, I mean really get a few wolves...... It's good to let people control it, and shoot it with a long shot! ”

"Actually, I have that idea too!" In the original "A Chinese Ghost Story", the picture of Ning Caichen going to Lanruo Temple at night and being chased by a group of wolves was replaced by wolf dogs. However, Lu Yan didn't particularly care about this small detail. Now that he heard Cheng Xiaodong propose again, he thought about it: "It's not impossible to use wolves, I'm afraid of some accidents." And now I'm going to borrow ...... temporarily."

"No! With wolves, I don't shoot. Suddenly, Leslie Cheung's cold interjection startled everyone.

"No! It's okay to use wolves, I'll hire a few more animal trainers when the time comes...... And the wolf will definitely not pounce on you and bite you......" When Lu Yan heard this, he suddenly hyped up the ferocity of the wolf.

Except for Leslie Cheung, everyone else couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. He's trying to scare you! Wang Zuxian suddenly smiled and said, not forgetting to lose Lu Yan's words.

"Yo! Yo! Talking to your brother so quickly. Lu Yan smiled playfully, and then waved his hand: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry!" I'm not going to use a wolf. ”

Leslie Cheung couldn't see that Lu Yan was taking this opportunity to make fun of himself, he pouted hatefully and said, "Yan Zai, are you jealous!" Jealous Joey was especially considerate to me......"

"Ahem......"

The most exaggerated is Liu Weiqiang's "Poof! The rice squirted out.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became weird.

I have to say that Leslie Cheung's counterattack is more exciting and ridiculous than any words.
