………………
At the press conference, Zhao Zhenqiang, a great director who once directed the classic drama "Shanghai Tang", joined hands with Chen Xiaotang, Qin Pei, Huang Rihua, Weng Meiling and other stars to appear in front of the media.
In the flashing spotlight, the media reporter interviewed director Zhao Zhenqiang and said: "Director Zhao, do you think this drama can surpass your last "Shanghai Tang"? ”
Zhao Zhenqiang replied, "The drama "Shanghai Tang" is already in the past, and I think as a director, I must look forward, instead of constantly eating the old book. What's more, this time this drama also has people like Chen Xiaotang, Brother Pei, and Andy joining, so I am confident that I will do this drama well! ”
"So is this drama filming for ATV's new drama "Huo Dongge"?"
"How to say, our wireless filming will not target anyone, but will better serve the citizens of Hong Kong and present more exciting TV series for everyone!"
At this time, those reporters began to ask many actors.
Not surprisingly, Chen Xiaotang, who played the leading role in this play, became the target of everyone's questioning.
"Mr. Chen Xiaotang. What do you have to say about your role? A reporter asked.
Chen Xiaotang said with a smile: "The prototype of the character Du Guosheng is Shanghai tycoon Du Yuesheng. I feel very nervous about being able to play such a big role, for fear that I will smash this role and be slapped by everyone-----"
"Clapper bricks?" The reporter was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what this new word meant, and couldn't help but wonder.
Chen Xiaotang continued: "So with an attitude of humbly learning and seeking advice, I looked through a lot of biographies about Du Yuesheng, figured out his character style, his inner world, and his way of doing things, and what I remember most clearly is what he said; Person. Live for three bowls of noodles in this life----- affection, decency, and scene! It can be said that his way of soaring to prosperity has thoroughly understood the differential order pattern of China's rural society. He relied on his skillful interpersonal skills to get what he wanted, and he profited while not forgetting to give alms. From begging vagrants to down-and-out literati and politicians, he was generous. So in a way, he's an out-and-out hero! ”
After listening to this, the reporter couldn't help but ponder for a while, because Chen Xiaotang analyzed Du Yuesheng very thoroughly, and at first glance, he was a person who had worked hard.
"So may I ask, how do you think it is most appropriate to play this hero? How do you compare to characters you've played before? ”
Chen Xiaotang smiled and said: "I thought I had played Murong Fu and heroes like the Golden Snake Langjun, but after all, these characters are just made-up characters in the novel, and the real world does not exist." But this time, Du Yuesheng is a living person. ”
"My mentor, Mr. Qin Pei, once said when he taught me to act, if you want to play a living person, you must integrate into the heart of this character, and use one word to describe it, that is, ----perverted !!" Chen Xiaotang glanced at the supporting actor Qin Pei beside him very respectfully.
"To be perverted is to ---- change your mentality! Only then can you do that you are not you, but this character, this character. This Shanghai tycoon who dominates the ten-mile foreign market! ”
Everyone seemed to hear a kind of confidence and momentum from Chen Xiaotang's tone. Not only sideways.
Next, the reporters interviewed Qin Pei, the old drama bone, Huang Rihua among the Five Tiger Generals, and Weng Meiling, the "pretty Huang Rong" and others.
Because of Chen Xiaotang's admiration for Qin Pei just now, he became the protagonist of the following interview. This is something the old man did not expect, said in his heart. This tang boy is really interesting enough, and he is still popular when he is old. Under the interviews of reporters, he can be regarded as knowing everything and saying everything.
About half an hour later, the crew of "Goodbye Huangpu Beach", as the organizer, beckoned everyone to watch some promotional tidbits that had been filmed.
I have to say that in order to crack down on the ATV forces this time, the new drama prepared by wirelessly using Chen Xiaotang, the "first brother", can be regarded as a big production. But you can see how wonderful it is from the film.
Beginning of the tidbit: A train rolls in with smoke.
Crunch-----
After a deafening stop sound, I saw many passengers getting out of the car.
Close-up, Chen Xiaotang got off the train with a small baggage, took a deep breath, his face was filled with a joyful mood, as if to say, this is Shanghai!
He touched his nose with his fingers----- this signature action is Qiu Guan's signature action when he played "Chu Liuxiang", so many reporters who watched the tidbits could see it at a glance, and couldn't help but laugh, and said in his heart, Tang Zai's appearance is not weaker than Qiu Guan, if he wears ancient costumes, it is estimated that he is more handsome than Chu Liuxiang.
Immediately afterwards, the camera moved, only to see a person fleeing in front, and a group of people in the back chasing with machetes.
The man jumped over the fruit stand, and oranges, apples, and pears rolled to the ground.
Dozens of people went up and slashed the man on the spot, and the people around him seemed to be a little flustered at first, but it seemed to be commonplace, and they no longer paid attention to the dead bodies on the ground.
At this time, the patrol room appeared, and a little boy was knocked to the ground before he could dodge. Chen Xiaotang hurriedly went up to help him up.
"Little brother, are you okay?"
"What's the fuss, that's what Shanghai Tang is!" The little boy glanced at him.
"That's how Shanghai is?" Chen Xiaotang raised his eyes and saw those rampant hooligans~ hooligans, patrolmen who collected protection money......
The tragic song sounded-----
The surging river is rolling eastward
Heroic as a song, like the wind, like thunder
May he be with him without wanting to be awake and drunk
How to divide the merit and sin between love and infatuation
Negative affection won the word righteousness
………………
"Wow. Is this the theme song? It's so imposing! ”
"yes. It's still a domineering tune, and I don't know who created it? ”
The reporters who watched the tidbits couldn't help but comment.
At this time, Zhao Zhenqiang, as the director, couldn't help but say: "This song was created by Chen Xiaotang himself, and he said that such a song will be more brilliant with this play!" ”
"Chen Xiaotang? Ah, why didn't we expect it to be him? ”
"Yes, they all say that he is a great talent, especially in the song industry, he is known as a geek!"
"I'm very surprised, why didn't he be the lead singer for such a beautiful song?"
"What's so strange about this, people don't even disdain to release solo albums, of course such a TV theme song is disdainful of singing!"
Alas, this time his fans are going to heckle again. Everyone waited for him to release an album, but he was still indifferent! ”
"I guess even the god of song doesn't have the concentration he has!"
"Yes, no, he's the future god of song!"
"Alright. Not to mention, watch the film, maybe it will be more exciting later! ”
…………………
After the theme song of "Goodbye Huangpu Beach" ended, two more pieces of flowers appeared.
The first piece of flowers.
Chen Xiaotang stood on the street, holding Sydney pear in his hand, and used the flying knife stunt to peel the pear, but when he saw the flying knife circling on his fingers, in an instant, the pear became bare.
"Wow, isn't this move borrowed from the flying knife stunt in the wireless "Xiao Li Flying Knife"?" "yes. This drama is really good enough, first engage in Chu Liuxiang, and then Xiao Li Feidao! Interesting, really interesting!! ”
In fact, these reporters didn't know that in order to play a role like Du Yuesheng well, Chen Xiaotang began to discuss the role with the director when he received the script, and he also started practicing early according to the script he wrote, and practiced the stunt of peeling pears before the TV series started.
However, this stunt is by no means easy, and Chen Xiaotang practiced hard for several days without results. Later, when he learned that the old drama bone Qin Pei had a good pear, Chen Xiaotang wanted to come to the door to ask for advice with an open mind, but what he didn't expect was that before he could ask for advice, Uncle Pei asked someone to bring him a videotape. Inside is the "pear cutting tutorial short video" recorded by him himself.
"It's definitely the most precious gift I've ever received since I started in the industry." Qin Pei's concern and enthusiasm encouraged Chen Xiaotang, and after receiving the videotape, he desperately practiced peeling pears. After peeling more than 1,000 pears, he finally reached the level of the legendary "Xiao Li Flying Knife".
For Chen Xiaotang to practice the pear cutting stunt, in his previous life, this drama used stunts to show Du Guosheng's "flying knife stunt", and even the amazing picture of "flying knife sniper bullet" appeared, which can be said to have some very martial arts characteristics.
This film made many people see Chen Xiaotang's efforts. and the strength he showed in the play----- strength is not obtained by being handsome and beautiful enough, but by acting skills and word of mouth!
This "pear-peeling" film let everyone have a certain understanding of Chen Xiaotang's handwork, but the next "domineering" film let everyone see Chen Xiaotang's momentum in controlling the heroic character.
In the lens, the surroundings were dim, the lights were turned on, and a beam of light shone on Chen Xiaotang, only to see him wearing a coarse cloth clothes, standing in front of the dragon chair, looking around with some anxiety.
There are green gang tablets all around, and cigarettes are around-----
The black pressed seemed to hide something.
The camera slowly pulls away and shifts.
Then I found that Chen Xiaotang had changed into a snow-white robe, held a folding fan, sat on the dragon chair, and gently swayed the folding fan.
The camera moved, and the dark part gradually became clear, and it turned out to be a group of people who were pressed by black, all of them were prostrate at Chen Xiaotang's feet, and the whole picture was very spectacular!
Not bad!!!
This scene was planned by Chen Xiaotang, and he learned from the year-end drama "Big Shanghai" directed by the great director Wang Jing in his previous life. Among them, the lens transformation of Huang Xiaoming and Fa Ge was packaged by Chen Xiaotang as a transformation of his identity, leaving everyone with a very shocking space for thinking.
At this moment, even people who no longer understand the art of photography understand how shocking and visually impactful this picture is.
You must know that the filming of TV series in Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong is definitely efficient, and the consequence of this ultra-high efficiency is the shoddy production of the lens, such as thousands of troops in the fight, which can be replaced by only a dozen people......
And no one would have thought that in the future, it is this picture that Chen Xiaotang suddenly wants to learn from, which will break the dilemma that Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong TV dramas belong to saliva dramas and have no classic lenses, and become a milestone for TV to move towards a new era in the field of art!
At this moment, everyone is no longer watching anything, because everyone knows that this drama will surpass TVB's "Shanghai Tang" and once again write the myth of Shanghai's hegemony!
........................................................................................................
Worship God, turn on.
The first act of the first part of "Goodbye Whampoa Beach".
In the story, Du Guosheng, played by Chen Xiaotang, came to Shanghai for the first time and went to the bathhouse to rub people's backs under the introduction of a friend.
In order to shoot this scene, it was necessary to find an old-looking bathhouse, Hong Kong is not a big place, and now that the economy is developing rapidly, it is difficult to find such "antiquities".
Fortunately, Chen Xiaotang had followed his father to the happiness pool in Wan Chai's hometown to take a bath before, so he introduced director Zhao Zhenqiang to shoot there.
Director Zhao Zhenqiang was distressed about this matter, and when he heard that Chen Xiaotang had a way, of course he was overjoyed, and immediately led the film crew to Wan Chai quickly.
The owner of the bath was originally grateful to Chen Xiaotang, after all, Chen Xiaotang's popularity helped him earn a lot of income last time. Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaotang brought him a huge business opportunity this time------ he rented his old-fashioned bathhouse for filming.
This boss is also a real person, saying: "Say what to rent or not, as long as you are willing to use it, it is to promote my happiness pool, which is better than anything else!" ”
The boss is not stupid, as long as his bathhouse is famous in the play, maybe he won't have to go bankrupt and go out of business.
It turned out that the boss's "decision" was correct. Later, after this drama became popular, his happiness pool turned out to be a holy place for countless worshippers, and everyone wanted to see what the place where Du Guosheng worked and rubbed people's backs on TV looked like. What's more, borrowing this place to improve his fighting spirit, constantly borrowing the role played by Chen Xiaotang to encourage himself, and become a monopoly in the future, become a big man, and become a tycoon-----
According to incomplete statistics, the number of cattle who came out of this bathhouse will exceed 300 in the future!! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
