Chapter 247: Puppeteers
September 11, 2001, well, you know what day it was.
In his previous life, Chu Qing didn't have any intuitive impression in the mainland, just to watch it lively, not only did he not care, but he also had a faint kind of "let you get sè all day long, you see, stupid * force".
This psychology is very strange, Lao Mei was bombed, but the Chinese were very happy, they were simply happy, and even a few buddies specially dragged him out for a drink.
But now in Hong Kong, since the two World Trade Center buildings were hung up, he feels the impact very clearly.
Hong Kong is not as panicked as the United States, but it is a region of close interest, with a volatile stock market, a falling property market, an increase in negative equity households, a sluggish hotel industry and a contraction in export orders...... The most realistic manifestation of this is the upcoming Jewellery & Watch Fair, where it is estimated that 70% of US buyers will not attend, and the estimated loss of orders received by exhibitors is as high as HK$1.8 billion.
Of course, 1.8 billion or 18 billion has nothing to do with Chu Qing. If you have to pull out some relevance, it is "Tin Tin Beer Bear", which is scheduled to be performed at Christmas, which may be affected by the economic downturn and will not do well at the box office.
He was more worried, but Zhan Ruiwen didn't care, he was used to losing money, and he still burst out with all his enthusiasm for rehearsals.
THE IMPORTANT ROLES IN IT ARE PLAYED BY ZHAN SIR, ZHEN YONGBEI AND THE RARE LOCAL BILINGUAL ACTOR MO QIANRU, AND THE FOREIGN AID, IN ADDITION TO CHU QING, THERE IS ALSO A GUY NAMED LIANG RONGZHONG.
This product is actually very familiar, such as El Niño in "I Have a Date with a Zombie 2...... If you don't have an impression, then take a look at "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", riveted with Zhou Xingxing to sell himself to bury the whole family, tenth-level tuberculosis, died of Wangcai, and finally knocked himself to the head full of blood, that's it.
As for Lin Jiaxin, Zhan Ruiwen gave her eight lessons. Discovering that this little girl's potential is promising, and her understanding is very high, she invites others to join in and play a small role, so that the heavenly envoy is proud, that is, the owner of the puppet.
……
The story goes something like this:
Because of the emptiness and loneliness, he used his mana to create a living puppet, and then this thing actually fell in love with his master, and he couldn't speak, he couldn't express it. In the end, in the process of defeating the Great Demon King, the two finally understood each other's hearts. live happily together without shame.
Well, it sounds very bloody, but it's actually Chu Qing's own simulation. After all, the protagonist is a beer bear, and the others are just foils, appearances, funny, soy sauce, and the finale...... There is no detailed background at all.
But if you want to perform, you have to have a scene first. Only when there is a setting can we create the details. Especially between the two characters, there must be some kind of relationship between them, or lovers. Or enemies, or friends, even strangers who don't know each other, this is also a relationship.
Lin Jiaxin had never come into contact with this kind of thing at all. was immediately shocked, and directly regarded Chu Qing as half a master.
In this way, the two of them need to perform in two parts. One is the main line, with the beer bear; One is the branch, which I pondered by myself, and this part does not need to be moved to the stage, just to better create feelings.
In the rehearsal room, Zhan Ruiwen, Zhen Yongbei and others watched in groups, while Chu Qing stood on the left side of the room.
I saw him raise his head with his arms close to the outside of his thighs, and then began to walk. With the left foot outstretched, the right arm swings forward and the left arm is back, then the right foot is switched to the left arm swinging forward and the right arm is back......
His movements are extremely stiff, his elbows are straight, his kneecaps are straight, his head, neck, back, waist, buttocks, thighs, heels, a proper line, and a strange mask on his face, the whole thousand-year-old zongzi.
Just for these few steps, Chu Qing had to completely change his body habits, and all the joints could not be smooth and bent.
For example, if you want to touch your hair, your arms may be lifted up all at once, but not for puppets, you have to stretch your arms diagonally forward, then bend your forearms, come close to your head, and then hang your head hard to touch your hair.
From the corner of the wall to the middle of the field, about three or four meters away, he walked for five seconds.
On the floor, there was a bouquet of plastic roses, and Chu Qing easily moved to it and stood firmly. Then bend down at 90 degrees, arm vertical, slowly pick up the flower, and return to its original state.
"Click!"
Zhan Ruiwen shouted, looking dissatisfied, and said, "Qingzai, your actions are not a problem, but they are not funny at all, children like to watch happy things." ”
“……”
Chu Qing pinched his chin and stood silently, obviously thinking, but he was still wearing a mask, and he looked a little cute.
"Well, then I'm constantly malfunctioning, like this."
As he spoke, he took a big step forward, about the same magnitude as a splitting a vertical fork, and said in this strange posture: "I get stuck as soon as I fail, and I need my master's magic to continue moving." ”
"Uh, I think it's OK, it's going to be comedic, but it doesn't feel like it's good." Zhan Ruiwen frowned.
"Hey, have you ever played 123 Wooden Man?" Lin Jiaxin next to him interjected.
"You mean, count three and he'll fail?" Zhen Yongbei asked.
"It's not about counting three, it's about taking three steps." Lin Jiaxin was inexplicably excited, and said with a smile: "He can only walk three steps, and he will fall down on the fourth step, then get up and walk three more steps, and fall again." ”
"Phew!"
Chu Qing had a chill, eldest sister, what kind of belly are you playing with a good white lotus, please don't play with me!
NO MATTER HOW MUCH ZHAN SIR COMPLAINED, HIS EYES LIT UP, AND HE SLAPPED HIS FACE AND SAID, "JIAXIN'S IDEA IS AMAZING!" Qingzai, you do what she said, do it all over again. ”
"Okay."
Chu Qing's face was full of bitterness, and he walked back to the corner.
His limbs were still stiff, one step, two steps, three steps, four ...... Boom! The sound was so loud that the onlookers were shocked, and they were worried in their hearts, ho, Ya can be true and sincere!
When ordinary people fall, there will be a process of bending the body, but the puppet can't do it, so he can only fall straight out. A man of more than one meter and eight meters, the whole frontal body, Pia's smashed on the floor.
Lin Jiaxin couldn't help but shrink back, pursed her lips, and suddenly felt very sorry, he, he must be in pain.
And Chu Qing, where is the innocent person pretending to be a corpse, and he can't get up yet, how can a puppet bend over and bend his knees to get up?
Zhan Ruiwen deserves to be at the level of opening the door and accepting apprentices, and considering the logical relationship, he immediately held it. Pa Pa stepped forward to help Chu Qing up, and said, "Hello, I'm Beer Bear, what is your name?" ”
The other party was silent, with two black holes exposed in his eyes, without a trace of emotion.
Zhen Yongbei hurriedly patted Lin Jiaxin, the girl came back to her senses, followed in, and said with a smile: "Hello, I am proud." He was my puppet servant and came out to help me collect the petals. He can't speak and is always clumsy. ”
"Oh, nice to meet you, gotta smug. I'm lost in the forest, tired and hungry, can you help me? ”
"Yes, I invite you to sit down in my cabin in the woods, where there is delicious fruit and honey."
"It's amazing. Thank you very much. ”
After a childish dialogue in a children's drama, the servants slowly turned around and prepared to end.
Lin Jiaxin is in front, and Zhan Ruiwen is side by side. After Chu Qing's mat, from the middle of the field to the corner, one step, two steps. Three-step, four-step, five-step......
"Huh?"
The servants were beaten at the same time. It didn't feel right, Lin Jiaxin asked, "How many steps are there?" ”
"Five or six steps." JAN SIR SAID.
"Boom!"
Chu Qing didn't talk nonsense at all, and Lisuo stood up again.
"Poof!"
Lin Jiaxin suddenly squirted, sat on the ground, covered her mouth and laughed.
No way, his appearance is too funny, although he feels impolite, he can't help it if he wants to endure it, so that he makes a very strange mute sound.
"Hahaha!"
Zhen Yongbei and others were also happy to lean forward and back together, covering their stomachs one after another, tears flying.
“OK! OK! ”
Zhan Ruiwen was obviously very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Jiaxin, you first tell the audience about the setting of taking three steps, but Qingzai, you always forget jì." We'll remind you often, and then you'll fall, so it's even better......"
He seemed to be inspired, and Balabala said endlessly.
Lin Jiaxin listened quietly, glancing at the puppeteer next to her from time to time.
…………
Night, Burrow.
Under the bright light, Chu Qing sat at the table, holding a pen and sketching on a piece of information.
This is given to him by Ah Guan, about all the awards of the Golden Horse Awards, as well as the analysis of the more popular films. When every company participates in the competition, it will engage in such a thing in order to promote its strengths and avoid its weaknesses.
The Golden Horse Awards rarely take the initiative to invite films to participate, and most of them sign up by themselves, and they decide to sign up for the awards. This year, there are a total of 20 awards, such as "Lan Yu", which has applied for 13, and it is unrelated projects such as action design, short films, documentaries, and heroines.
This is a very sad thing, and you have to think carefully and implement it boldly in order to get surprises.
Just like the Best Picture Award, everyone has expected that the three films "Lan Yu", "Durian Piaopiao" and "What Time Are You Over There" will definitely be shortlisted. You threw "This Summer" into it again, and you were properly gang-raped to death.
Of course, even if the reality is cruel, he still has to report, even if there is a nomination, it is considered a victory, gilded!
As for the rest, the male protagonist does not have it at all, the female protagonist is a must. The amazing beauty of this sister in her bones has always been little known, Chu Qinglao felt regret and unwillingness, and neatly added Wang Tong's name.
And Zhang Jingchu, her role is one less than Wang Tong's, and she is barely the heroine, but her level is a lot worse, and there is no hope of winning the award. This is where strategy comes in, and he pondered for a moment and wrote a few strokes in the Best New Actor column.
Master Fan, don't add up, the best supporting actress.
Li Yu, Best Director.
Wang Yu's photography skills are really good, add the best photography.
There is also Dou Wei's soundtrack, which can't be wasted, plus.
Is the original script, dispensable, forget it, write it too.
After Chu Qing got it all, he counted a total of eight, thought about it again, and simply pulled over the editing and sound effects to make ten wholes.
He sat for a long time, and when he was finally finished, he couldn't help but stretch his arms and twist his waist, and then he felt a pain.
"Tsk!"
He raised his hands and feet to look at it, and it was full of bruises, all of which had been fallen during the day, and there was a pungent smell of medicinal oil.
Chu Qing shook his head, he was looking for guilt by himself, but he actually enjoyed it and acted energetically. (To be continued......)
