Chapter 494: Zhou Xingzu (Watching after 20 minutes)
In the eyes of many people in the entertainment industry, performing comedy does not require any skills, because comedy, he is just very simple to amuse people.
Under normal circumstances, as long as a person doesn't look particularly sad and sad, and then matches the funny scenes, funny dress-up and makeup, and funny music, the comedy atmosphere will come out.
Because of this, there are very few actors in comedy scenes in the film and TV circles in China, and most of them are young people who have just entered the industry.
Generally, those with some qualifications will use their relationships to challenge some scenes that require superb acting skills, so there are very few comedy stars in the entertainment industry in China, and there are no people who can interpret comedy as labels.
In the end, in the entertainment industry in China, whether it is film or television, comedy has not become the mainstream, but has become a tool for directors to make money quickly.
On the one hand, such a situation in the Chinese film and television industry is determined by the initial positioning of the actors, because the actors want to rely on their strength to gain the recognition of the audience and the directors, and if they want to be recognized, it will not work to take the comedy route.
In addition to the initial positioning of the actors, there are also issues such as the script and director of comedy, film and television works.
At first, seeing the general bad reviews of Chinese comedy film and television works, Qi Ming still didn't believe it.
No matter how bad the comedy is, how bad can it be?
But after watching a few comedy films and television works with slightly higher ratings, Qi Mingjue's Chinese people actually gave these movies high ratings.
Because many comedy movies are funny for the sake of being funny, the plot is very funny, which makes people laugh a little embarrassed even if they laugh, and after watching many comedy film and television works, the brain can be said to be blank, as for what the plot of the movie is, there is no impression at all, because the movie has no plot at all, and the whole story is funny for the sake of being funny.
For various reasons, comedy films and television in the Chinese film and television industry are regarded as rotten, vulgar and other unpopular works, and even the annual film and television industry awards ceremony, pure comedy film and television works are rarely nominated.
Comedians are not taken seriously, most of them are comedians who don't want to carry forward comedy, directors, screenwriters, investors, etc. all use the comedy genre as a tool to make money quickly.
These are the reasons for the withering of comedians in China.
So when Qi Ming got the image of Mo Fan saying that he didn't have the kind of actor he asked for, Qi Ming didn't feel too disappointed, because Qi Ming was already ready for Mo Fan's answer.
"Can you give me a list of the better comedians?" Qi Ming said to Mo Fan.
"This must be no problem, but Brother Qi ......" Mo Fan agreed very simply, but he paused in the words later, and then thought for a while before he said, "Brother Qi, I really said this because I really treat you as a brother, don't forget your heart." ”
Qi Ming roughly guessed what Mo Fan wanted to say when he heard this, so he smiled and signaled that he didn't care, he wouldn't care.
"In the current film and television industry, Brother Qi, you may not know, there are very few comedians, and comedy films and television are basically a film that is scolded and bloody, I absolutely believe in your ability to write scripts, but the script is good, and it also needs good actors to cooperate, but in the current Chinese entertainment industry, I really didn't expect that comedian to be competent for your script, Brother Qi." Mo Fan voiced his worries.
Mo Fan said this for his own good, Qi Ming knew this very well, so he was very moved by Mo Fan's heart-to-heart approach, only his own people would make the stakes so clear.
"Brother Mo, I know your thoughts, and I also know the status of the current comedy film and television works in the Chinese film and television industry, so I want you to recommend me some comedians that you think are excellent." Qi Ming said.
Mo Fan smiled when he heard this, and then said, "I'll call Xu Qing, people in the film and television industry, he is more familiar than me." ”
Saying this, Mo Fan called Xu Qing's phone.
Since filming "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated", Xu Qing has been promoted to a first-class director in the Chinese director industry.
Xu Qing on the other end of the phone learned that Qi Ming was going to make a new movie and the script was ready, so he immediately said excitedly that he would buy a plane ticket and fly over immediately.
In the end, under Mo Fan's persuasion, Xu Qing gave up this idea and began to talk about some of the comedians he had come into contact with.
Every time Xu Qing said an actor, Qi Ming searched for the relevant videos and materials of this actor.
But it's a pity that there are five actors in a row, and Qi Ming doesn't think it's suitable.
Although he was mentally prepared not to find a good comedian, Qi Ming still felt a little uncomfortable in the face of this fact at this time.
"Do you want to put the script on it?"
For the new script, Qi Ming didn't want to invite some people who didn't meet the requirements to act, because it would be a shame for this script.
"Brother Qi, take a look at Cui Shaopeng." Just as Qi Ming was pondering, Mo Fan said.
Qi Ming quickly typed Cui Shaopeng in Qiange Search, and then clicked search.
In the next second, Cui Shaopeng's relevant information came out.
After a quick glance at Cui Shaopeng's information, Qi Ming sighed secretly in his heart, it was still inappropriate.
Mo Fan had been paying attention to Qi Ming's expression, so he immediately knew Qi Ming's thoughts, so he asked Xu Qing to recommend the next candidate.
Taking advantage of Xu Qing's thinking about the candidate, Qi Ming entered the word Stephen Chow in Qiange Search with the mentality of trying, and then clicked search.
Qiange tips: There is no such person in the entertainment industry Stephen Chow, recommend the relevant artist Zhou Xingzu for you!
Seeing the search results and looking at the pictures given by the system, Qi Ming's heart instantly seemed to be hit hard, and his original disappointed mood suddenly became extremely happy.
"Brother Mo, I found it, this is the person I'm looking for!" Qi Ming pointed to the computer screen and said.
Mo Fan was communicating with Xu Qing, and when he heard Qi Ming say that he had found it, he immediately reflexively said, "Found it?" ”
After finishing speaking, Mo Fan came to his senses, and then walked to Qi Ming's side, looked at the computer screen and said, "Who is it?" Who is it? ”
An actor that neither he nor Xu Qing remembered, Mo Fan really couldn't imagine who it was, and he would be directly photographed by Qi Ming.
"Zhou Xingzu? Why haven't I heard of this man? Seeing the name on the computer screen, Mo Fan said suspiciously.
"What's wrong? What's who? Xu Qing on the other end of the phone was slightly startled by Mo Fan's sudden increase in volume, and then after hearing Mo Fan say Zhou Xingzu, he said again, "Zhou Xingzu? I have heard of this person, a trickster in Xiangjiang, the reason why I have an impression of him is that when I attended an event in Xiangjiang a few days ago, he once found a comedy director next to me, but he was scolded by the director in public. ”
"You tell Brother Qi." Hearing this, Mo Fan handed over the phone to Qi Ming.
"Brother Xu, help me find the contact information of this person, Zhou Xingzu, whose ancestral home is Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and now lives in Xiangjiang." Qi Ming said to Xu Qing excitedly.
Qi Ming's excited tone startled Xu Qing, because in his impression, Qi Ming had never been so excited.
"Brother Qi, rest assured, in half an hour at most, this person's contact information and other information will be sorted out." Xu Qing replied quickly.
With his current ability, it is simply easy to find the contact information of someone in the film and television industry.
In less than ten minutes, Xu Qing reported Zhou Xingzu's phone number to Qi Ming.
However, Qi Ming dialed the number, but it was prompted that the number was not in the service area.
"Brother Mo, you arrange the crew's affairs, I'll go to Xiangjiang!" Qi Ming said after thinking for a while.
"Brother Qi, are you going to ......," Mo Fan said in disbelief.
"I'm going to find this guy myself!" Qi Ming said in a very decisive tone.
"Brother Qi, I'll go too, will I go with you?" Xu Qing on the other end of the phone heard this and shouted at the top of his voice.
……
Xiangjiang, Nine Dragons, Fenghua Film and Television Film Base.
"Do you know how to film? Don't waste our time if you don't know how to film, okay? Who's that? What kind of person you introduced me, it's a waste of my time! The crew of the new movie "Fatal Detective", which was invested and produced by Fenghua Film and Television and had just begun filming, assistant director Chen Zhongxiang pointed to a young man's nose and scolded.
"Actually, I'm almost going to die, if you give me a little more time, I'll die." The young man who was scolded by the assistant director of "Murderous Detective" pointed at his nose and said with a pleading on his face.
"Hey! Zhou Xingzu, who are you, you are just a trickster, a trick! Do you know how many negatives there are in a second? Chen Zhongxiang still pointed to Zhou Xingzu's nose and said.
Zhou Xingzu was not angry by Chen Zhongxiang's action of pointing at his nose, but instead showed a bright smile and replied, "24 grids, Brother Xiang." ”
"Do you know 24 squares? You still know 24 grids? Blind to it, do you know how many seconds there was in that shot just now? Chen Zhongxiang said sarcastically.
Zhou Xingzu still looked at Chen Zhongxiang with a smile and said, "About a minute." ”
Chen Zhongxiang looked at Zhou Xingzu's smiling face, and said sarcastically with disgust, "Do you know how many seconds, how many negatives, how much money, and the time and scheming of the staff and staff were wasted because you didn't want to die!" ”
Zhou Xingzu didn't smile when he heard this, but turned into a dumb expression.
Seeing Zhou Xingzu's dumb expression, Chen Zhongxiang knocked on Zhou Xingzu's head and said, "What are you eating!" Who's that, please, how are you doing, you have to find some professional ones! Substitutions and remakes! ”
The chief director of "Deadly Detective" also spoke at this time, and said in a very angry tone, "Go home and think about how to die, don't waste time with me, the mud can't support the wall!" ”
Zhou Xingzu listened to the angry scolding of the two directors and assistants of "Deadly Detective", and did not fight back, but smiled apologetically at the two, and withdrew from the set while smiling.
"How did you do that? I finally found this scene for you, yes, don't look for me in the future, I don't want to lose my job because of you. As soon as Zhou Xingzu quit the set, a chubby woman walked up to Zhou Xingzu and said.
While speaking, the woman also said to the director and assistant director of "Deadly Detective", "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Xiang, Brother Ming, I won't look for this kind of unruly trick in the future." ”
Zhou Xingzu lowered his head, his eyes were full of despair and loss, "I just want to show my face more, I just want me to behave more naturally, more smoothly, and more taken for granted, isn't this okay?" ”
"Of course not, who do you think you are? You're just a trickster, you act so well, who will the audience watch? Do I want to see you? So what else is the use of the protagonist of this play? Go back and reflect on it, if you run the show, you must have the style of running the show! The chubby woman said to Zhou Xingzu.
"I know Sister Feng, then I will ...... the play tomorrow," Zhou Xingzu wiped his face and said.
"I'll talk about it tomorrow, let's go!" The chubby Sister Feng began to tease people.
"Then Sister Feng, I'll wait for your call tomorrow." Zhou Xingzu said with a glint of hope on his face.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Sister Feng
Zhou Xingzu was pushed by Sister Feng and took two steps, and then began to walk forward alone.
"Well, you see, he doesn't look like a dog." Assistant director Chen Zhongxiang looked at Zhou Xingzu's back.
"It's like a lost dog." A screenwriter of the crew of "Deadly Detective" said.
"It's just like a dog, it's just a piece of, that makes people want to vomit when they see it." Ma Kunming, the director of the crew of "Deadly Detective", said.
"Yes, a stinky ****, such a person, I really don't know what kind of confidence there is in the entertainment industry." The starring role of "Deadly Detective", Chen Zhihao, a little fresh meat who is currently in full swing in China, said disdainfully.
"Get out, if you are dead, you have to have the consciousness of running dead, don't do daydreams all day long!"
"This person must have been kicked in the head, what kind of scene is a trick snatching."
"If he can stand in the entertainment industry, I will be a superstar! No one will use such a person! ”
"I heard that this person personally went to a meeting a few days ago to find comedy director Wang Jing, hoping that Wang Jing could give him a chance to participate in a comedy movie, but he was scolded by the famous comedy director Wang Jing."
"There's really something wrong, he deserves to be scolded, he's a dead runner, he is restless and a trickster, what kind of director do you go to? It's good to let him get in touch with a small person in the crew like us, and he is cheeky to find a big director, it's really shameless! Such a person will only use him when his head is funny! ”
Looking at the back of Zhou Xingzu leaving, the entire crew of "Deadly Detective" was full of ridicule and ridicule, and some even laughed and cried out of their stomachs.
Zhou Xingzu listened to the ridicule and ridicule of the crew of "Deadly Detective" behind him, and a helpless and painful smile appeared on his face that only he could understand.
"It's okay to say I'm playing tricks, but please, don't add a dead word?" Zhou Xingzu turned around and looked at everyone in the crew of "Deadly Detective" and said, with a look of hope on his face.
"What are you doing here? Don't get out yet, are you really ****, you can't understand people! Chen Zhongxiang waved his hand and said as if chasing flies. (To be continued.) )
