In April, in addition to the completion of "A Strategy", Xu's has several films that have been filmed one after another. Like Chu Yuan's "Xiao Li Flying Knife" series, Gui Zhihong's "Ten Thousand Beheaded", Zhang Jian's "Sea Wolf", Xu Brothers' "Rich and Noble World" and so on.

The strange martial arts films filmed by director Chu Yuan's adaptation of Gu Long's novels have always been a guarantee of popularity, especially in Taiwan and Nanyang.

Following the launch of the "Lu Xiaofeng" series last year, this year director Chu Yuan wants to put "Xiao Li Flying Knife" on the screen, and the person who plays Xiao Li Flying Knife is the golden and green with Qin Pei in Hong Kong movies.

Previously, he had starred in Fu Hongxue in "The Moon Knife at the End of the World", and perfectly interpreted this tragic hero with his excellent acting skills, which was unanimously praised by the audience, especially fans of Gu Long's novels. Therefore, this time, director Chu Yuan filmed Xiao Li Feidao, and asked him to play the male protagonist Li Xunhuan.

For Qin Pei to play the role of Li Xunhuan, some people in the company were opposed at first, because Qin Pei's appearance was not handsome enough, and he was not suitable for playing the personable and love-loving prodigal son Li Xunhuan. However, Director Chu Yuan tried his best to disagree with the public, and he had to let Qin Pei star.

The reason is that Li Xunhuan was in his thirties when he appeared, which was about the same age as Qin Pei. And Li Xunhuan's life is full of tragedy, his sworn brother seems to be a righteous gentleman, but in fact he is a treacherous villain. And in order to fulfill his brother-in-law, he took the initiative to leave his beloved woman, and since then he has become a prodigal son.

Li Xunhuan seems to be uninhibited, but in fact, he is the most dedicated; Although he has immortal martial arts, he has never killed a good person; scattered thousands of family fortunes, floating alone in the rivers and lakes. Even in the face of thousands of accusations. You can still keep smiling. It's not enough for a character like this to be good-looking. In fact, temperament and acting skills are more important.

The two sides had their own reasoning, but there was really a stalemate, and the lawsuit went to Xu Guanwu.

In order to reconcile the contradictions between the two sides, Xu Guanwu brought Qin Pei over and asked him to perform one of the passages on the spot. If he can conquer everyone here with his acting skills, then the role of Li Xunhuan must be him; If his interpretation is not recognized by everyone, then it can only be regrettably said to worship Lu.

Qin Pei naturally knew that if he could play Li Xunhuan. will have a great impact on his acting career, so he naturally wants to go all out.

He only played a supporting role when he was at Shaw Brothers before, and never played a major role. Qin Pei, Qin Pei, the word "Pei" was given to him by Director Li Hanxiang, which is actually a homophone for the "matching" of the supporting role, and Director Li Hanxiang means to make him a supporting role. Don't think that this is because director Li Hanxiang looks down on him, in fact, it is very rare for an actor to play a supporting role in Shaw Brothers at that time.

Although playing a supporting role makes Qin Pei's life worry-free. But it's hard to get big. Qin Pei is also a person who is strict with himself, so he naturally does not want to play a supporting role in Shaw Brothers for the rest of his life. Therefore, he then came to Xu's, and became famous by starring in "The Moon Knife at the End of the World" directed by Chu Yuan, and finally tasted the taste of popularity after many years in the industry.

And then he starred in many of Xu's movies one after another, but most of the time he still played the main supporting role. Because his age is there after all, although his acting skills are good, he has missed the best fame period. As Zhang Ailing said before, you should become famous as soon as possible. The sooner an actor becomes famous in the entertainment industry, the higher the height he will reach in the future, of course, not counting those child stars. Because child stars are going through adolescence, there will be great changes from their previous images, and it is worth looking forward to whether they can be recognized by the audience again.

However, if an actor can become popular at the age of seventeen or eighteen, as long as he doesn't die by himself and continues to keep his energy on his acting career, then he can be popular for at least ten years, and he will gradually decline when he is no longer young after the age of forty. Young actors have a shelf life of more than ten years, and film companies are naturally willing to praise these young actors in order to pursue the consideration of maximizing profits.

Although an older actor like Qin Pei has more acting skills, because of the relatively short shelf life, he may lose his attraction to young audiences because he is too old to become popular, which naturally makes the film company's previous efforts come to naught. After all, the people who watch movies now are young audiences, and their greed for freshness and love for beauty are their characteristics.

Qin Pei also knows that opportunities like "The Moon Knife at the End of the World" are hard to come by, he is in his thirties, and he has lost the biggest advantage of age, and it is difficult to be praised as the first actor by the company again, so it is naturally a backwater battle for Li Xunhuan, who plays Xiao Li Feidao.

Xu Guanwu admires Qin Pei as an actor very much, and knows that his acting skills are also ranked first in the Hong Kong film industry. He can play honest and honest roles, he can also play treacherous villains, slippery citizens can also play, mentally handicapped idiots can also do it, he is simply a versatile gold and green match, and he completely lives up to the name given to him by director Li Hanxiang.

For example, his performance in "The True Story of the Crazy Guy" simply played the role of a father who went crazy after losing his beloved son and couldn't bear the blow, and won the Academy Award and the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, which can be said to be well deserved.

And he co-starred with Liu Dehua in "The Legend of Inspector Lei Luo of 500 Million", which brought to life a sinister and cunning corrupt detective Yan Tong who hid a knife in his smile, and supported the whole film together with Uncle Shrimp Guan Haishan and Wu Mengda. In comparison, although Liu Dehua's acting skills in this film have also made a breakthrough, he is no longer just cool and handsome, but compared with the performances of these old actors, the performance is still a little too hard.

Xu Guanwu especially likes the mainland TV series "Li Wei's Resignation" starring Qin Pei, seeing him holding a big bowl and eating noodles while snoring, while eating a large clove of garlic, he looks like an authentic northerner, who would have thought that people are authentic Hong Kong people? It can also be seen that Qin Pei's adaptability is strong, and he can be called a chameleon in the film industry.

However, although he admired Qin Pei's acting skills, he did not support his idea of being the protagonist, because although Qin Pei's acting skills were good, he also had great limitations. In addition to being a little older, there is also a lack of good skills. Among Hong Kong movies, kung fu films account for the majority, and an actor who knows kung fu has higher development potential. And Qin Pei lacks this attainment.

In terms of comedy, Qin Pei's drama intersects with that of his eldest brother Xu Guanwen. The two are about the same age. As for the roles suitable for Qin Pei, generally Xu Guanwen can play them, and when there is a suitable role, he naturally follows the big boss first. Of course, Qin Pei doesn't mean that he has no future, it seems that the role in "Rich and Powerful" played by Dong Bi can be played by Qin Pei, and that role can also be called the main role.

In short, Qin Pei is like a panacea. In the movie, he can add a lot of color, but he lacks the ability to take the lead alone, so at most he can only be a golden and green match and play some more important roles. But like the main role, you still have to give it to others.

……

Qin Pei sat on the side for a while to prepare, and then started his performance in full view of everyone.

Xu Guanwu also watched attentively, and saw that Qin Pei just closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, his slightly nervous gaze had turned into sad eyes. Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be amazed. It's just that in the blink of an eye, it's as if a person has completely changed. This skill is really extraordinary.

I often hear people say that a good actor has eyes that can act. At first, Xu Guanwu really didn't believe it, but now that he saw Qin Pei's performance, he really believed that the eyes of a good actor could indeed act.

Compared with Xu Guanwu, a layman, several professional filmmakers next to him observed much more subtlely, in addition to the expressions, movements, eyes, lines and other appearances, as well as the temperament of the characters, as well as the actors' own understanding and interpretation of the role, are all objects they need to observe.

Qin Pei's performance only took two minutes, and he had already conquered Xu Guanwu. Xu Guanwu had also read "The Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" before, and he also knew a little about the story of Xiao Li Feidao and Li Xunhuan. This is a very peculiar character, and it is also unique among so many of Gu Long's novels.

Xiao Li Feidao Li Xunhuan's personality is very noble, and he has been raised to the level of a god, and his dedication is so deep that he vomits blood; And he is very righteous, in order to fulfill the wish of his righteous brother, he took the initiative to give up his lover; Although his martial arts are high, he never kills innocents indiscriminately; Believe in the inherent goodness of human nature and be willing to influence the enemy with love; No matter how great the difficulty is, even if it is a threat of death, you can still smile......

Compared with Xiao Li Feidao, a god-like character with an almost perfect personality and no flaws, the protagonists in Gu Long's other novels are inevitably a little shorter. Chu Liuxiang also has some shadows of Li Xunhuan, such as his gentlemanly demeanor, for example, he never kills indiscriminately, such as in the face of death threats, he also never panics, for example, his martial arts are obviously not as good as his opponents, but he can always win at the last moment. It's like Xiao Li's flying knife ranking on the weapon spectrum is obviously no match for Shangguan Feihong's dragon and phoenix double rings, but he still defeated Shangguan Feihong in the end.

But although Chu Liuxiang is already a first-class character, he is still quite inferior to Li Xunhuan. First of all, Chu Liuxiang is known as Xiangshuai who is merciful everywhere, entangled with countless women, and owes countless romantic debts. Secondly, Li Xunhuan scattered all his family wealth for his lover, but Chu Liuxiang was known as a thief. If Li Xunhuan is a god-like figure, then Chu Liuxiang can't help but be contaminated with a lot of red dust, and he can only be regarded as a beautiful son in the world.

As for Tie Zhongtang, Xie Xiaofeng, Xiao Shiyilang, Shen Lang, Lu Xiaofeng, Guo Dalu, Wang Dong and even Bu Ying, etc., although they are all first-class characters, whether they are smart and wise, or martial arts skills, they are not inferior to anyone, but they lack a trace of divinity, so they can only be regarded as first-class characters, but they still can't be compared with Li Xunhuan.

If such a classic character wants to play well, it is naturally very difficult. However, Qin Pei used a short two-minute performance to make Xu Guanwu seem to see Xiao Li Feidao and Li Xunhuan right in front of him. This skill not only conquered Xu Guanwu, but also won him the praise of several other filmmakers, defeated the doubts in their hearts, and successfully won the opportunity to play Xiao Li Feidao Li Xunhuan.

"Very good, congratulations, Mr. Qin Pei." Seeing that everyone unanimously agreed that Qin Pei would play the role of Li Xunhuan, Xu Guanwu stood up and walked in front of Qin Pei to shake hands with him and said with a smile.

"Mr. Xie Lu, Mr. Xie Xu, Director Xie Lu, Xie Chuyuan, Xie Lu, thank you for your love." Qin Pei was also very happy to be able to win this role, and couldn't help but thank him again and again.

Especially when he saw Xu Guanwu, as a big boss, personally come down to shake hands with him and congratulate him, he felt very honored, and the whole person was a little fluttering.

In Shaw Brothers, Shaw Yifu's boss has a big shelf, how can ordinary young actors talk to him. Qin Pei has worked in Shaw Brothers for many years, and there are more opportunities to see Boss Shao, but he has never spoken to him, let alone Boss Shao shook hands with him and congratulated him.

Seeing Xu Guanwu so approachable now, Qin Pei can't help but feel very emotional, in the end, he is a big boss, and this bearing is different. (To be continued......)
