Chapter 180. Zombie Spring (Three Watches)
Because the time is very tight, to finish filming the drama "Mr. Zombie" before Halloween, Duan Zihao still feels a little pressure. In particular, whether the team of the company's crew can be united is also a problem.
As a director, the fat man Wang Jing patted his chest to ensure that the play was completed in ten days. This is not bragging, he really has this ability, and Duan Zihao also believes that he has this ability, but the question is, what about other actors, can they work overtime with him and shoot this drama?
You must know that now that Hong Kong films are gradually entering a prosperous stage, many actors do not have to worry about having nothing to eat, so if you are harsh, many people will change jobs, and even pick and choose when filming. Therefore, Duan Zihao must appease the military spirit of these people, and only when the military heart is determined can all major things be successful.
First of all, Duan Zihao found the starring Lin Zhengying. As a famous zombie Taoist in his previous life, Lin Zhengying didn't know that Duan Zihao was opening a path to the peak of his career for him.
In his opinion, shooting this kind of zombie film is very interesting, or very new. Of course, Lin Zhengying has also filmed similar movies before, that is, the "People Scam Ghosts" series filmed with Hung Jinbao, but it is a packaged comedy with few zombie elements, and he is not the starring role, not even a supporting role, it can only be said to be a cameo. But this drama is different, he has to pick the main role as the starring role.
From the very beginning, Lin Zhengying was familiar with the script, and he sincerely admired the script outline written by Duan Zihao, and thought that Duan Zihao was well-deserved to be known as a Hong Kong talent.
Nonsense, in the previous life, this "Mr. Zombie" was the work of Huang Ying, a genius screenwriter and strongman of martial arts novels. For this, he also won the title of Best Screenplay in Hong Kong. It's a pity that in the future, because he owed usury ~ loans for opening a company, he was hacked to death...... Kind of died young.
Looking back, Lin Zhengying also likes the role of "Uncle Nine" in the script, and feels that it has its own characteristics, not smiling, and kind-hearted. Occasionally, I joke with my apprentices.
Arguably. Lin Zhengying felt that this script was simply tailor-made for himself, so when he saw Duan Zihao, without waiting for him to speak, he swore that "I will definitely play this role well!" ”
Duan Zihao didn't just want him to show loyalty, so after a conversation, Duan Zihao said earnestly, "Brother Ying, you may remember that I once said that I would support you on the throne." And this drama is the first drama you have to develop your career, I have a hunch that after this drama is released, you will start to become popular, and there may be many studios and film companies inviting you to ......"
Without waiting for Duan Zihao to finish speaking, Lin Zhengying immediately said: "I understand what you mean, but although I am a filmmaker, I am also a person in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes are righteous." I'm the same with A-Ying! So I assure you that if I, Lin Zhengying, become popular, I will never betray the actor entertainment and never be a second or fifth boy! ”
With Lin Zhengying's confession. Duan Zihao is much more down-to-earth in his heart, after all, half of his identity is the boss of the company, how can he cultivate a good person and be snatched away by another company. That's not a big deal.
Go back. Duan Zihao also encouraged other actors in this play, including Xu Guanying and Qian Xiaohao. Lou Nanguang, as well as Lindsay Feng and others.
Xu Guanying is the third brother of the god of song Xu Guanjie, and he is also the lowest talent among the three brothers of the Xu family, good at comedy, and looks bitter, I really don't know how the boss of the Xu family is handsome and the second is beautiful, how could he give birth to an ugly man.
No matter what, Duan Zihao admires him very much, in his opinion, this guy has a rare cold humor, just a bitter melon face, can laugh at people.
Needless to say, Qian Xiaohao is a famous kung fu student in Hong Kong in the 80s, who has filmed a lot of action scenes, and in the future, he and Jet Li will also shoot "Jingwu Hero" and "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", and his acting skills are also very good, but he later stopped filming, and he became infamous because of the incident of secretly filming women's skirts. After his comeback, he no longer has the glory of the past, on the contrary, his little guy Qian Jiale has been a wife for ten years and has become a rare action director and actor in the TV and film circles.
Let's talk about the "pumpkin boy" Lou Nanguang, with a chubby figure and wearing glasses is his signature. As a rare gold medal supporting actor in Hong Kong's 80s comedy movies, he is best at playing little men and cheap men.
Finally, Lin Saifeng, the leader of Hong Kong's female martial arts actors, and Hu Huizhong, Hui Yinghong, known as Hong Kong's "Three Queens of Martial Arts". The small and delicate body shape, as well as the sweet appearance, give people the intimacy of the sister next door. originally had a good career, but unfortunately he got married and quit the film industry in the future. could have been a rich woman to live, but because she had an affair with her godson, she was caught and raped by her husband in bed, which aroused the disgust of public opinion, so that she was ruined.
Duan Zihao is very clear about the future direction of these people, so Duan Zihao carefully encouraged each of them, and those who should contact their feelings seized the opportunity, after all, these people in the eighties were all stars in their respective fields.
After encouraging these people, the crew of "Mr. Zombie" thought that Duan Zihao was leaving. But they were wrong, and Duan Zihao walked towards the person who played the zombie in the play.
As we all know, in Hong Kong zombie films, the appearance of zombies has always been very classic, with green faces and fangs, wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms, with straight arms and jumping and walking.
Playing the zombie in this drama is a dragon and tiger martial artist named "Ah Xiang", which is the first time he has filmed such an important scene in the three years since he entered the industry. said that it is important because the last part of this drama is almost all the rivalry between him and the leading actors, although he is dressed as a zombie, no one can recognize who he is at all, but he is very excited and happy in his heart, after all, he has appeared on the scene, and he is no longer a little martial artist and a little stand-in.
At this moment, Ah Xiang was putting on makeup, and a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old was standing beside him, looking at him.
Duan Zihao came over at this time, and then took the initiative to say hello to him.
Ah Xiang and the makeup artist who helped him put on his makeup were stunned for a moment.
No one expected that a big name like Duan Zihao would come to greet a little person like Ah Xiang in person.
"Hello Mr. Duan. I'm fine, really good! Ah Xiang was so excited that he was almost speechless, his face was being put on makeup, so that it looked very funny and funny, and the guy with blue face and fangs was as shy as a child.
"Is this your son, it's cute!" Duan Zihao looked at the little boy and said.
"Yes, his name is Xibao, he is twelve years old this year, and today he heard that I was going to act, so he cried and wanted to come and see it!" Talking about his son, Ah Xiang is full of pride.
"Hehe, Xibao, do you think your dad is not good?" Duan Zihao squatted down and said.
"Awesome, my Abba is the most powerful zombie!" The little boy tilted his head and said.
"Oh, aren't you afraid?" Duan Zihao pointed to Ah Xiang with a blue face and fangs, "He looks like this, will you have nightmares when you go back at night?" ”
"I'm not afraid, these are fake! My Abba is an actor, a good actor, today he is going to appear in a big play, I will cheer him on! The little boy said, waving his fist.
"Ha, so you're here to cheer up, so okay, let's cheer for your dad together, okay?"
"Okay—"
……
"Mr. Duan, you don't have to be like this, I'm just a little actor......" Ah Xiang said embarrassedly.
Duan Zihao got up, looked at him and said, "Wrong, no one in this world is a little actor, because without you, no drama can be filmed." Also, I decided that I will add the film after you remove your makeup at the back of this play, so that someone will know that this terrifying-looking zombie will be so handsome! ”
When Ah Xiang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and everyone else was the same, and they couldn't hold back when they were moved by Duan Zihao's words.
Let's ask, how many people will pay attention to their small roles in filming, so easy to play tricks?!
Zombie what? is a character who was beaten and burned in the play, and has exhausted all kinds of methods to kill.
The character who suffers the most, but can't show his face.
But now, they have been promised by Duan Zihao, they are no longer unknown zombie boys hiding behind masks, but a real actor who can show his face to everyone! (To be continued......)
