Chapter 209: Actually, I'm an actor
The history of Hong Kong cinema, if counted from the 70s, can really be called a transformative figure, there are only a few.
Including Xu Guanwen's social comedy, Cheng Long's humorous kung fu film, Lin Zhengying's psychedelic zombie film, Xu Laowei's new martial arts film, Zhou Xingxing's nonsensical film, and Sunglasses King's pretend film. If you dig deeper, you may have to add Gui Zhihong and Mu Dunfu's vote of cult madmen, but the weight is very low, so you don't need to go into detail.
As for John Woo's classical hero films, Wang Fatzi's gambling films and, Liu Weiqiang's street gangster films, etc., although they can often occupy the top few places at the annual box office, according to the type of movie, it can only be said that there is more than excitement and insufficient innovation.
and the wave of New Wave directors of Tan Jiaming and Lin Lingdong created a situation, but unfortunately after several tosses, they were still drowned in the impetuousness of commercial films. Even in the end, only Xu Anhua was left to stick alone.
Of course, this was the situation before '96, and after '96, the rivers and lakes were different, because of the Milky Way image.
You can say that Xu Laowei's imagination is the most unbridled, but if you talk about the Hong Kong film with a strong style, the most original and local, it is undoubtedly produced by Galaxy.
With Lao Du and Wei Zu as the core, with You Dazhi, You Naihai, Ou Jian'er, Luo Yongchang, and Situ Jinyuan, the unique Zuò Corps, filled the Hong Kong film market, which had been poor for nearly 15 years.
Especially from '96 to '99, "The Birth of a Word", "Dark Flower", "Two Can Only Live One", "Very Suddenly", "Gunfire", ...... During this period, the galaxy simply saw who destroyed whom, and the talent was overflowing, turning all beings upside down.
Unfortunately, since 2000, Lao Du and his team have joined Xiang Huaqiang's China Star, which completely announced the advent of the business era, and he has more powerful arms to travel to Dazhi and leave Singapore due to differences in ideas.
Thereafter. Although Galaxy has filmed masterpieces such as "PTU", "Black * Society" and "Detective", the amazing spirit of the year is long gone, and it is so mature that people sigh.
Like this "Full-Time Killer", the script has been written a long time ago, but Lao Du has been busy helping Chinese stars to make commercial films, and only after "Zhong Wuyan" has been completed, did he buffer the time to start filming.
It is his first attempt to balance personality and commercial creation.
……
Chu Qing and Lin Cod chatted and waited, and it didn't take long for them to see two people enter the restaurant.
The first person had a darker complexion and wore glasses. Thinning hair, particularly harsh look. The person in the back is very familiar, Liu Dehua, the king of heaven who has been popular for 20 years. (Let's use this name, that's really awkward, as for the "Andy" in the back, don't pick a thorn)
He looked back at the real person, and felt that his nose was not as big as he thought.
"Everyone's hard work! Laborious! ”
Andy greeted frequently from the moment he entered the door, and apologized for his tardiness. When passing by Chu Qing's table, he glanced at it casually, probably because it was a new face. He paused, stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello! ”
"Hello!" He also got up and shook his hand.
"Come on!" The other party also encouraged.
"Thank you, Brother Hua."
He responds politely, and it seems that his girlfriend likes this one. In total, I will ask for an autographed photo after the photo is taken.
At this moment, the directors and leading actors are all together, and the staff is getting more and more busy. Over there, he was anxious to put on Andy's makeup, and someone here came over with a hood, and put it on Chu Qing's head without saying a word. Fiddle and fiddle and comb into a ponytail style.
Before he could react, another guy from the stunt team directly grabbed his left hand. A thin blood bag was pasted on the back, and then a piece of fake skin was finely glued.
Chu Qing looked at the novelty and shook it slightly, except for being a little tight, he couldn't tell that it was fake skin at all, and couldn't help poking it with his fingers.
"Don't move! The blood bag was broken, and I had to reattach it. The guy scolded.
"Oh, I'm sorry." He hastened to apologize.
While the two were talking, the preparations had been in place, and Lao Du Dama sat down in the director's chair and waved his hand. Luo Yongchang immediately shouted: "Get in place!" ”
“Ready?”
“OK!”
“Action!”
This scene is about the killer Thor who killed the target, got paid by the client, and deliberately learned the manipulation of "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" to drum up some literary style.
Liu Dehua leaned against the bar, holding an erhu pulling and pulling, although he was unfamiliar, it was really a tune, and he should have practiced it specially. Chu Qing put the gray-white lockbox on the table and tilted his shoulders.
This section is a three-camera position, No. 1 shoots Andy, No. 2 shoots Tsing Tsai, and No. 3 shoots panoramas.
I saw Liu Dehua tilting his head and grinning, revealing a familiar folded smile. The killer of this show is a psychopath, jumping out of publicity, the thief is annoyed, and wants to smoke the soles of his shoes.
Chu Qing also stared at the other party, raised his chin slightly, and motioned for him to roll over to receive the reward. Andy turned his head and slammed the piano box on the bar, indicating that you could put it in there.
"Click!"
As soon as he took two shots, Lao Du shouted to stop, carried the guide tube and said: "That thug, his expression is not ruthless enough!" ”
"Do it all over again!"
“action!”
This time he twisted his eyebrows, his eyes were a little colder, and then he made a jaw movement. Andy picked it up very quickly, and then snorted at the piano box, his face full of virtue.
Then, Chu Qing looked around and saw that there were so many diners, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Click!"
Almost at the same time, a second sound sounded.
The people at the scene were all stunned, although Lao Du was irritable and strict, this situation still rarely happened. The film hasn't burned a single frame, but it has been properly NG twice, and I can't help but mutter: That mainland boy is going to be unlucky!
"Why did you sigh just now?" Du Qifeng stood up and asked.
"I'm sorry, Director." He first showed his modesty and prudence, and then immediately became worried.
What do you tell me to answer?
I can't say that, according to Stanislavsky's theory of performance, and the logic of normal thinking, as a human being with full intelligence, if he sees a comic, then his immediate reaction is to sigh.
Well, in fact, Chu Qing was very strange in his heart, because he felt that there was nothing wrong with his acting, and he didn't know how to shout for Mao, but he didn't have a hard top with the director.
"Well, I am, it's just a natural reaction." He casually made up a reason, and said, "I won't next time." ”
"No, no, no!"
Lao Du Lian said three words and asked, "I mean." Since you know how to sigh, why don't you add some disdainful expressions? ”
“……”
Chu Qing blinked, paused for a moment, smiled imperceptibly, and said, "Okay!" ”
…………
It is said that Liu Dehua debuted in 82 and has filmed countless films, and his previous performance style is simple in two words: play cool.
Later, in 99, he had enough fans, so he wanted to transform into an actor. So when filming "Dark War", he took the initiative to ask Du Qifeng to give some guidance. And expressed his determination: I can change it, you can try it.
Of course, Lao Du will not be polite, scolding Hua Tsai like the third grandson, and directly poking other people's scars: "You can die if you don't put your hands in your trouser pockets and put POSE?" ”
Thanks to his good temper, he doesn't care, but it is very painful, and it takes a long process to change his past habits. After staying up like this for a long time, I slowly learned a new form of performance: nature.
In his own words: It turns out to be a good actor. It's not about acting, it's about being a person in the play.
Therefore, Liu Dehua greatly broadened his plasticity in the later period, and Lao Du contributed a lot. This is also exactly the proof of this. Du Qifeng is a director who pursues something.
Chu Qing has never been in contact with the local production team, let alone the style requirements of others, not to mention that he is just a trick, so he thinks about the rules. Let's try the water.
But Lao Du pointed out in person like a convulsion, and he instantly understood, oh. That's what the director wants.
That's OK, no problem at all.
There are two scenes in the restaurant, the first one is very simple, and Chu Qing will pass it after adjustment. The second scene is more difficult, with a line and strong action.
"Wait until you're done talking, Andy will stick a fork in your hand, and then you'll scream in pain." Luo Yongchang is still in charge of the play.
"Hmm."
"You have to pay attention to the camera position, you can't exceed this range, otherwise you won't be able to photograph." He framed the desk-sized area.
"Okay, I know."
“……”
Luo Yongchang licked his lips, and said that this thing is boring, and he has no sense of accomplishment, why can't you ask me? I always know a yarn!
He shook his hand, turned his head and shouted, "Ready? ready? ”
“OK! OK! ”
“action!”
With a dozen boards, Lin Cod immediately entered the play and nodded to Chu Qing.
He walked to the bar with the box, threw it on the ground, and squinted at Liu Dehua before opening the box. Full of dollar bills, he picked up a stack and slapped it firmly into the case, then took another stack and slapped it in.
The so-called "pat" is to hold the money in the forehand and then use a little force, which has the meaning of smashing down, but not too loudly. Because the character was extremely unhappy with the second-hand killer, and was afraid of being too loud to attract attention, he used this action to express it.
Even if it is a trick, there are human rights, love, joys and sorrows. Chu Qing's character for thug A belongs to the kind of lively and optimistic, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, having a fierce voice, and flaws must be reported......
"How little money did I get for my life?"
Liu Dehua stopped his erhu, turned sideways, stared at him and said, "A policeman can get more money from embezzlement in a month or two than this." ”
After speaking, he smiled, and then said, "Okay, next time I will charge more than this time." ”
Chu Qing hammered down the bar, turned his head and scolded: "Who the do you think you are?" Is it O? ”
As soon as the words fell, Andy picked up a fork and nailed it to his left hand. The thin blood bag was punctured instantly, and the red liquid dye quickly soaked the entire back of the hand.
"Ahh
Chu Qing was like a seahorse that had only been stepped on and his spine was broken, he screamed violently, his left hand did not move, and his right hand was stubbornly holding the table. The body dragged to the ground, from head to shoulders, to waist, to legs, without proportion, twisted into strange angles like noodles.
"Phew!"
Liu Dehua's heart was sudden, his arms trembled, this thing hurt so much that he thought he had really stabbed the girl.
Fortunately, Andy is not covered, his experience and state are stable, and he smiled at Lin Cod: "I'm better than O, and with my beautiful job, the price should be twice as high as him." ”
At this time, the camera was set up above, diagonally facing Chu Qing's face, and he had to look up with great effort so that the photographer could take a close-up.
Lao Du stared at the monitor, feeling that face slowly shrinking and concentrating, and finally fixed on those eyes. It was full of viciousness, anger, panic...... A variety of emotions are mixed together, but the layers are clear, and I can't help but shout: "Click! ”
The crowd stopped for a moment, and all looked at him, waiting for instructions.
Du Qifeng pinched his chin, his eyelids closed slightly, and he was silent for a long time before pointing at Chu Qing and saying, "You get rid of that murderous intent." ”
"Good!" He replied sharply.
"Do it all over again!"
“action!”
Chu Qing repeated Fang Cai's twisted posture, but there was less viciousness in his eyes, amplifying the panic.
"Click!"
Lao Du was as if he was addicted, and all the NG today was consumed by this trick, and he pondered for a while, and said, "You try, can you have more fear." ”
"Good!"
"Do it all over again!"
……
Liu Dehua cooperated five times, and he was not impatient at all, but found it very interesting.
Looking at this little character who doesn't know his name, following Du Qifeng's unreasonable request, he adds and subtracts at will like a machine, flirts casually, and even accurately reaches the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, without any difference.
When did the grassroots talents in the mainland entertainment industry become so bunkered?
Where did he sigh, Chu Qing was also secretly complaining: I'm going to die, why are you always tossing me? I don't have a dime too much money! (To be continued......)
