Chapter 202: The helplessness of the supporting characters

"What a mountain!"

Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the towering peaks, Menjie suddenly felt dizzy.

In the movie "Mythology", since 'William' played by Menjie invited 'Jack' played by Jackie Fang to go to India to explore the mystery of human beings suspended in the sky, the next scene is the scene of Menjie and Fang Chenglong climbing the mountain, which Menjie is about to shoot now, is exactly such a scene!

In order to cooperate with the performance, the crew even hired a large number of extras for this purpose, and they didn't need to do much, they only needed to play the mountaineers and act as the background of the Menjie duo, both of whom were born and raised in India, and they didn't cost much per person, which was quite cheap.

However, the hot weather still made Menjie a little helpless, climbing the mountain on a hot day, if it wasn't for filming, Menjie would not agree to anything.

"Director Tang, I'm ready, ready to start!"

adjusted his state, and the whole person was in a good mental state, Menjie said to Tang Jili on the side, who can start shooting.

In addition to Menjie, Fang Chenglong on the side, as well as the Indian group actors acting as the background, are also ready to start filming at any time.

Speaking of Indians, when Menjie first arrived in India, he also made a big oolong!

In Menjie's view, Indians' skin is mostly dark, but there are also a large number of people whose skin color is undoubtedly similar to that of yellow people such as themselves, although they are somewhat similar to white people in appearance, with a high nose bridge and a wide skeleton, but in Menjie's mind, Indians should be part of the black race, and part of the yellow race.

Even Menjie told the crew about his idea, which immediately became a laughing stock for everyone.

Afterward. After the introduction of the crew, Menjie understood a little, it turns out that most of the people in India are Caucasian!

Indians are mainly of the Caucasian race, that is, the Europa race Indo-Mediterranean type, of which the Hindustani ethnic group accounts for about 45% of the total population, and there are also many black races in the south, namely the Dravidian type, as for the yellow race, there is only a very small part, mainly in the border with Burma, Sikkim, Bhutan, Nepal and China that India has invaded. Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with India, just like the Russians, a minority in China.

Of course, as for what Caucasian people are in Menjie's eyes, their skin color is like that of a yellow race, although they don't know very well. But in Menjie's view, eighty percent is because the temperature here is too high and the sun is exposed every day. For a long time. It became such a complexion.

But anyway, in Menjie's opinion, even if the other party is Caucasian, the yellow skin still makes Menjie feel friendly and comfortable.

"Units ready. 3、2、1,action! ”

In a short time, Tang Quilli finished all the preparations, and with a loud shout. The whole process of filming began.

The filming of this scene is very simple, the character of 'William' in the original book is a weak scholar who is powerless, he does not know martial arts, and his body is also very weak, just an ordinary scientist.

But in today's "Mythology", in order to reflect the characteristics of Menjie's kung fu, Fang Chenglong specially asked the screenwriter to change the script, portraying Menjie as an image who is good at sticking and has a strong body, but his combat experience is not very rich, and his main energy is invested in scientific research.

Originally, such a change was made, and the screenwriters, directors and Fang Chenglong himself of the crew all agreed very much, and even they had such an idea, but they would have a little apprehension in their hearts.

After all, in this way, Fang Chenglong, who originally had only one bright spot, was turned into two bright spots, allowing Menjie to share part of his aura.

If there is only one room Jackie Chan, everyone in the crew believes that the audience will definitely buy it, but there is one more doorman......

Even Fang Chenglong, Tang Jili and others are not sure, the audience will buy it very much, admitting that Menjie, a new generation of idol stars, has a feeling of apprehension in his heart.

However, since the popularity of "Kung Fu" not long ago, and the popularity of Menjie has also become popular in an instant because of the relationship between the role of "Big Guy Chen", Fang Chenglong and others have let go of all the worries in their hearts!

In Fang Chenglong's view, the movie "Myth" may not be able to compare with "Kung Fu" that Zhou Xingchi spent three years honing in terms of box office, but it will not be too bad, and it will not be too far behind in terms of popularity!

In terms of characters, not to mention the protagonists of the two films, let's talk about the supporting roles, in Fang Chenglong's view, the paranoid scientist, with the extremely sharp Chinese kung fu, at least in terms of character building, will definitely not be worse than the role of the big guy Chen in "Kung Fu"!

Such a character is also full of charm, handsome and chic, insisting on his own persistence, and can also use Chinese kung fu, which has more connotation than the big guy Chen who only has an extremely handsome and domineering appearance in "Kung Fu".

Let's ask, how can such a character not be popular?

So, under the instruction of Fang Chenglong and Tang Jili, the screenwriter no longer had the slightest hesitation, and drastically changed the script, shaping the originally powerless Menjie into a strong body, practicing kung fu since childhood, proficient in stick skills, but with little fighting experience.

Originally, the character of 'Jack' was a weak guy, and even the plot of climbing the mountain was designed to be very difficult, but if it is changed to now......

In the script, during the entire process of climbing the mountain, Menjie is wearing a set of pure white practice clothes, which looks very capable, and the speed when climbing the mountain is also very fast.

And Menjie, with his B-level acting skills, although his temperament is slightly worse, but after blessing the 'killing temperament' similar to that of a killer, he does have a feeling of being a cold-faced master, although there is a slight deviation, but it is not bad, which makes Tang Jili and others not far away cry out happily.

Just based on the performance of Menjie's scene, Tang Jili was able to give Menjie a super high score, even if it is placed in the circle of first-line movie stars, it may not be able to be so comprehensive and excellent in all aspects!

"Card, this scene is over, while Menjie is in a good state, everyone is not very tired, let's go shoot the interior first!"

After a short time, Menjie and others completed the filming of the plot of climbing the mountain, seeing that Menjie, Fang Chenglong and others were still in good condition and physical strength, Tang Jili made a decision at the moment and took Menjie and others to the 'Disha Temple' in the movie!

Next, Men Jie and Fang Chenglong will explore the secrets of antiques and suspended meteorites left over from the Qin Dynasty in the 'Temple of Disha', and engage in a series of battles with several Indian soldiers, which can be regarded as the first excitement in the film!

Of course, compared to the climax afterward, such an excitement can only be regarded as a warm-up.

It didn't take long for Menjie and others to come to the 'Disha Temple', as early as a few days ago, when Tang Jili was preparing to lead the team to India, there were already special staff here to start the construction of the scene, and now it can be used directly as long as it is sorted out a little, without any problems.

"Menjie, do you know how to act when you wait a while?"

Seeing that Menjie was doing nothing, Tang Jili walked over and asked Menjie with a grin.

"Zhilu Dao, I studied the script for a long time last night, how should Zhilu Dao act next!"

Speaking of this question, Menjie couldn't help but be depressed.

In this scene in the original book, the character of 'William' is completely an oil bottle, which infinitely magnifies the light of Fang Chenglong, but now, replaced by a 'William' who can do kung fu, everything is different!

At the beginning of dealing with the guards of the Disha Palace, it was not Fang Chenglong who made a move, but Men Jie took the lead, relying on an alloy long stick that he had always carried on his body, playing handsome to his heart's content, and winning the applause of the audience.

As early as a few days ago when he was in Huaxia, the action director Yuan Baye had already carried out a series of guidance and action design for Menjie, teaching Menjie how to act and how to play the best role!

Although it is a performance type of kung fu, but the master of the mountain splitting stick method, when practicing the performance type of "mountain splitting stick method", he is still like an arm, and he soon appreciates the essence of it.

What Menjie needs to do next is to simply play handsome, each stick is extremely clean and neat, chic and handsome, giving people a feeling of young talents and martial arts masters.

The plot of this scene is the biggest highlight of Menjie's kung fu in the whole film, if you want the movie to gain huge popularity after it is broadcast, Menjie must play it well, give the audience a strong impact, and win countless fans for yourself!

If he can play this place well, Menjie believes that in terms of influence and role, he will definitely not be weaker than the big guy Chen in "Kung Fu", or even surpass!

However, what made Menjie a little depressed was that in the end, Menjie, a martial arts master, was defeated by the large number of Disha soldiers on the opposite side because of his lack of actual combat experience.

This plot really makes Menjie a little depressed, he can't use kung fu, and he must give people a feeling of 'no' to highlight the toughness of the protagonist Fang Chenglong.

This is the fate of a supporting role, if you want to escape from this fate that will always be crushed by the protagonist, Menjie must redouble his efforts, in the shortest possible time, get rid of the identity of the supporting role, and become the protagonist, a real protagonist!
