Chapter 442: Single Brush
What the hell are you kidding me?
This was Matt's first reaction when he saw the two alternates, and he quietly dragged Simon and muttered, "Man, are you out of your brain?" How do you find an Asian to come over? ”
"No one says that there can't be Asians in the apocalypse, right?" The young American guy asked rhetorically.
“……”
He choked suddenly, he understands the reason, but the American audience will not reason with you. There are only black and white in their eyes, and a yellow-skinned guy comes out of nowhere.
"They're the best people I could find, they all have great acting experience, and it's just a small role." Simon Road.
Matt frowned and glanced back.
The Canadian smiled, maintaining a not-so-convincing sense of confidence. The Oriental man poked at him in boredom, waving disgustedly in the distance - with another noisy Oriental woman.
"OK, I'm going to check it, I hope you're right."
He didn't dare to decide casually, lest he be scolded by the director again, so he walked over and said, "Hey, good evening, you can call me Matt." I've heard you're all great, but we also need to do a little test to ensure the quality of the characters. ”
"Hi, my name is Mike, we're going to have a surprise." Canadians took the initiative to shake hands.
"Oh, hello!"
Chu Qing also stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party.
"OK, we don't have much time. Now each of you will tell you a dialogue from your favorite movie......"
Intentionally or unintentionally, he swept over someone and added, "English!" ”
"You said this to me many years ago, but since then my mind has been absolutely clear......"
Without waiting for others to react, Mike opened his mouth and came to a paragraph, with a focused expression, reciting like a poem:
"I have taken your whole life, I have taken your place in the world, I have taken everything from you. I took your money. Took away your girl. Why haven't you shot yet? ”
From the first sentence, Matt knew that it was a passage from "Once Upon a Time in America". After listening carefully, he felt that it was okay, so he smiled and said, "You are indeed good, young man!" ”
"Thank you very much!"
Mike looked a little reserved again, and then looked to the side, the very quiet Oriental.
"It's your turn!" Simon also reminded.
"Uh, okay."
The three long-haired guys in front of him stared at him with a brush, and Chu Qing couldn't help sweating. I scolded the daughter-in-law of the loser eight hundred times.
Seeing that he paused for two seconds, he turned slightly sideways, tilted his head, and spit out a sentence with a little surprise and anticipation of the small stimulus that happened unexpectedly: "Youtalkingtome? ”
Mike: "......"
Matt: "......"
Simon: "......"
Only four words, high and low.
Mike reads well, but it is too abstract and flat, and you may think that the sentence is wonderful and full of emotion. But there is only one thing that is unacceptable: it is too fake.
On the contrary, Chu Qing's sentence "Youtalkingtome? "Natural, real, with the rhythm of a little person in every syllable.
“OH! You just looked like Robert. Haha, I'm his biggest fan, I've watched this 23 times! ”
After a while, Simon reacted like crazy. Hold him and don't let go, and don't forget to ask his companion for credit, "Hey." Did you see that? ”
"Oh, of course ......"
Matt was also surprised, but he was very qualified, and he had seen countless actors, so there was nothing to be excited about.
The most bitter was Mike, who simply fell from the sky, and was pressed against the wall again, laughing at himself: "It seems that I am redundant, I should go." Dude, you're great! ”
He hugged Chu Qing and flashed happily.
The goods secretly wiped a sweat, fortunately during that time in Hong Kong, I watched a lot of classic movies, otherwise I really couldn't think of it.
…………
What the hell are you kidding me?
Five minutes later, Romero questioned his assistant director with the same expression.
"Sir, I assure you, he absolutely can!" Matt busy.
"Oh?"
Seeing him swear so much, Romero was a little surprised, although this assistant's character is not good, he still has vision. The old man couldn't help but turn his head and looked at the man who was reading the script in the corner: short hair, light, with a silent aura, able to isolate the surrounding noise and scrutiny.
“……”
The old man twisted his eyebrows, a little familiar to the hair? I look like I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it.
Let's not mention that he is entangled here, just talk about Chu Qing.
The script is only a thin page, and the characters are really small, just three lines, and they are not long. He had been watching for a while, muttering not in his memory, but in the rhythm of his thoughts.
Because the actor's line skills are mostly limited to the local Chinese, Chinese and English, the same sentence, but the way of expression is very different.
First of all, the pronunciation should be standard, which is the foundation. The second is the sense of language, simply put, how to speak to be good.
Like, I love you.
There are usually two ways to read Chinese, one is I love you, just go with it. One is that I, love, you, use a pause to show solemnity. Of course, the tone and mood are another matter.
And in English, one is Iloveyou, which is also directly shun, and the other is I, loveyou, the first word is to be stopped.
Asians are inherently weak and can only get acquainted with them slowly. Chu Qing benefited from the language environment in Hong Kong, and had a large number of friends to spar with, and he felt pretty good.
As for his character, he is an ordinary slum dweller.
There is no money, no women, no ability, and even zombies are too lazy to gnaw. But I still yearn for excitement, it's easy to get some money, and I also want to learn from others to be crazy, so I made a bet......
This is the basic characteristic that Chu Qing analyzed, and then his eyes were slightly closed, constantly improving the character setting. Soon, a guy who was far more plump and real than the script jumped out of his mind.
……
“READY? READY? ”
After a while, Matt held the walkie-talkie and reminded everyone to get ready to shoot. Robert Joy and the little supporting actor are also in place, they know that there is a temporary change of Chinese actor, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect them at all.
Robert is okay, that guy is quite in the mood to flirt with newcomers. smiled: "Boy, don't be nervous, I'll be gentle later!" ”
"Oh, thank you."
Chu Qing looked at the other party and ran to the side to wait. He didn't wear any makeup, just changed into a set of old clothes, and poked where he went, which was inconspicuous.
A dozen or so group performers still walked around dutifully, but more people gathered around him, pointing and pointing. It's all about watching the excitement.
“ACTION!”
As soon as the words fell, the buddy said, "There are many events today, and we have a new game." ”
Immediately afterwards, Chu Qing entered the mirror, and without waiting for the opening, as soon as he walked down the few steps, the audience was quiet.
I saw that he was slightly hunched over, his neck stretched forward, and his tall figure instantly became cramped and humble. The pace is big, but it is slow, like a dirt dog that wants to grab a bone and has no guts.
"Phew!"
The muscles in the buddy's body tensed, and he watched him get closer. Hiding his panic in a deep voice, he asked, "How to place a bet?" ”
Black ......
The other party opened his mouth, but suddenly froze. Just two seconds, four steps away. The original sense of rhythm was shattered in an instant.
"Click!"
Romero shouted a halt and wondered, "What's going on?" ”
"I'm sorry. I forgot the words! The man hurriedly replied.
"It's okay, let's do it again!"
“OK! OK! ”
The man took a few deep breaths and said to himself secretly, this time it's okay, it's okay, you must ensure the rhythm.
“Action!”
saw Chu Qing wipe back, his face turned again, and suddenly changed his acting method.
He squinted his eyes, licked his lips with a blood-red tongue, looked dark and obscene, moved to the other party with broken steps, and asked briefly and sharply, "How to bet?" ”
“……”
This trip was even worse, the guy was scrapped directly, and he didn't spit out half a word.
"Click!"
As soon as Romero called a stop, Matt felt run over and said, "Hey, did you knock five kilograms of cocaine?" What about your lines? ”
“SORRY!” The man apologized again.
"Do it all over again!"
“ACTION!”
He shook off and stared at the guy without blinking.
Chu Qing didn't have time to play, and her daughter-in-law was still waiting outside, so she collected her aura and asked, "How to bet?" ”
"Black and Red, who will win."
He tried his best to stay calm, and finally picked up the lines, and his heart was immediately happy.
"Click!"
“……”
The audience was silent, looking at Matt's angry reprimand: "Hey! You still have a finger movement! ”
"Sorry, I forgot!"
"Do it all over again!"
Chu Qing rolled his eyes, so he had to retreat back and enter the mirror for the fourth time.
“ACTION!”
"Black and Red, who will win."
The guy finished the dialogue, and pointed to the iron cage in the field with his finger, and it was finally OK.
Such a simple shot actually tossed four. The onlookers felt incredible, they were not the parties after all, they couldn't find it, or they couldn't believe the cause of the problem.
Robert Joy was different, he stood between the two, and he grasped the slightest unusualness. The poor creature on the left has lost his basic level as an actor, and is led to the rhythm by the guy on the right who came from an unknown source all the way.
Although he had great curiosity about Chu Qing, he was also an old actor, so he replied neatly: "OH! Zombies don't fight. ”
"When there's food, it will."
Chu Qing straightened up, put his right hand in his pocket, looked like a virgin went to prostitute *, and especially supported the old driver, pretending to understand very well: "What is the menu you gave them, cat or dog?" ”
"As I said, today is a new game." The guy was already full of fighting spirit, and he was reading his lines dryly.
Immediately, Robert Joy appeared on the scene.
"Which one do you bet on?" The dude asked again.
"Uh......"
Chu Qing's hand in his pocket took out three or four times like gold, before he found a few pieces of money and said, "Black, $60." ”
"Click!"
Romero shouted, "NICE! ”
"Hoo ......"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was too hard to shoot.
Every time the Oriental man made a change, his opponent had to get stuck in the shell, and in the end, he simply cosmed the robot, hard from beginning to end.
And the staff who originally wanted to see his jokes were secretly speculating strangely at the moment.
Although they don't want to admit it, they saw with their own eyes how that bitter guy was blown up, and it was not a little bit of attack, but without any resistance and persistence, and it was KO in an instant! (To be continued......)
