Chapter 46 Appointment
013-09-25
The next day I went shopping with the other two, leaving him alone in the hotel, and after lunch, he rushed to Kempinski.
When I knocked on the door of 413, I saw Zhou Xingchi wearing a very casual T-shirt and denim, lying on a chair comfortably basking in the sun and reading a book.
"It's coming." Zhou Xingchi smiled and pointed to the sofa, "Sit." ”
Lin Xiao also sat down unceremoniously, waiting for the other party to speak.
Zhou Xingchi closed the book, looked him up and down, and suddenly asked, "Which star do you think likes to play football?" ”
What kind of weird question is this?!
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, he knew that the assessment had begun. Sure enough, a director has a xìng grid, Wen Jun is tested for acting skills, but Zhou Xingchi's is this kind of "sudden attack." ”
Suddenly his mind lit up, the other party was the funny king, and his answer decided to take a risk.
It doesn't hurt to joke anyway.
He pretended to think about it, and Zhou Xingchi found his thoughts, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
"Look at his happy camp is very good, all kinds of jokes come at your fingertips. Don't you think this question is too abrupt? Linked to my identity, my movie, he doesn't know that this is an assessment? ”
Zhou Xingchi sighed secretly, sure enough, it was difficult to find a newcomer to the taste, and he had been looking for someone for too long for this role.
I thought I had found a "marriage partner" with the right taste, but I found that I was still disappointed.
Just when he was already hopeless, Lin Xiao suddenly raised his head and asked solemnly, "Clin/Don?" ”
"Haha!" Zhou Xingchi laughed unceremoniously! And it's a hilarious laugh.
Really! Sure enough, it's a good seedling! The disappointment in his eyes was immediately dispelled by Clinton, who was far away in the United States. He originally thought that even if the other party understood, he would pull out a more serious old-school artist, but he didn't expect it to go further.
"Not bad!" The disappointment in his eyes was like a passing cloud, and he asked with a smile, "Why did you think about it for so long when you knew that Clinton was a football star?" ”
"I'm just thinking about who is more famous, Yoshiro Mori or Clinton." Lin Xiao said "embarrassed".
"Haha!" Even Zhou Xingchi, who has been "laughing" for a long time, can't help but laugh at it, he mentioned a football, but the other party spoofed the prime ministers of the two countries, this kind of whimsical idea is exactly what comedy stars need.
"Okay, let's talk about the play." Zhou Xingchi smiled and gave a thumbs up and made a "you are OK" gesture.
"The outside world knows that I want to write, direct and act in a play, and everyone's expectations are high, and it is difficult for me to do it." He put away his smile and sighed distressedly, "I can't smash my own signboard, so I have to interview in person for every corner that can be remembered." ”
Lin Xiao didn't speak, and quietly listened to what the other party said.
"The other corners are basically finalized, and there is still one corner sè left. That horn sè, not much to say, even only action. I need a new generation of newcomers to play. ”
Lin Xiao thought about it for a while, and asked thoughtfully, "I don't know how long this corner is?" ”
Zhou Xingchi laughed, "This is how much I attach importance to this corner sè, he doesn't talk much, but there are definitely a lot of shots, and there are even several minutes of special shots, and there are a lot of close-ups, I mean, this corner sè has to be brilliant." ”
Finally, he summed up xìng and said, "This horn sè, is the goalkeeper." My request is: cool, handsome, and have a xìng. But you have to be able to fit into the whole comedy, and you can't be a maverick. ”
"Boom!" As soon as Zhou Xingchi's words were finished, the system sound that had not sounded in Lin Xiao's mind for a long time sounded again, the same as Zhao Wei's prompt at that time.
Kim sè small print! Represents an S-Class mission!
"S-level mission: Shaolin football has officially begun. Pick-up reward: All genera xìng increased by 50. Visibility increase by 200. Rewards will be distributed after signing the contract. ”
200 increase in visibility? He glanced at his popularity suspiciously, only to realize that this value, which he had ignored, was only a pitiful 100 points.
Represents an artist who is not known at all. And with the addition of 200 points, it is enough to meet the standards of third-tier artists.
"Will it be carried out?"
"Yes!" He didn't hesitate to think about it.
At the same time, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and the Bodhi necklace, which had never played a role, disappeared.
He remembered that the function of this necklace was to increase the success rate of the play, and all along, he had no new play, but he didn't expect that the reward of the system played a role at this time!
"Mr. Lin, what do you think of this horn?" Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't speak, Zhou Xingchi asked.
Lin Xiao withdrew from his mind at this time, and said with a smile, "Director Zhou's play, of course I really want to be on it." ”
Zhou Xingchi nodded and said seriously, "You give me a good feeling, I believe that you have no big problem integrating into comedy." But you have to pay attention to this horn sè, he is not a funny horn sè himself. But it has to match the taste of the whole play. Now, I need you to do a couple of scenes. ”
Lin Xiao nodded, this is the so-called point-to-point exam, and it is generally the most important shots of that corner.
Zhou Xingchi thought about it and said, "The first one is provocation. The two teams met and the goalkeeper provoked the shè hand. ”
Lin Xiao thought about it, point-to-point exams often have only one sentence, and the director can't define the scene at one time, if the actor performs it perfectly, it is likely to pass it once and sign a contract on the spot.
Perhaps, one action can be exchanged for a contract, perhaps, after half an hour, only one sentence is exchanged for a sentence "I'm sorry." ”
He recalled the scene of Shaolin football, thought quietly for ten minutes, and finally had a more complete summary.
It's a very simple picture, but it boils down to two things: exaggeration.
Expressions, exaggerated movements.
raised his head and just saw Zhou Xingchi's expectant gaze.
"I wonder how he's going to act?" Zhou Xingchi saw Lin Xiao looking up, and he was faintly excited, this role, he quietly found many newcomers to play, but no matter what, he didn't have the feeling he needed.
Under the gaze, Lin Xiao only made one movement, his thumb swiped above his lips, stretched out his right hand, and shook one finger.
Zhou Xingchi's eyes lit up.
The movements are very simple, however, when the other party is doing these actions, his expression has also been adjusted, not serious, but with banter, the corners of his mouth are slightly pulled down, and his body language is quite in place. It doesn't look like it's on the court, but it feels like a bit of a tricky boy.
But this action is exactly the taste he wants!
"Good! Very good! As soon as Lin Xiao's expression relaxed, he immediately heard Zhou Xingchi's applause.
"Can you tell me how you came up with this pose?" The other party immediately asked with great interest.
Lin Xiao thought for a while, "It's actually very simple, I think Director Zhou is the king of comedy, and there are many exaggerated styles in previous films, if this one doesn't, it may take time for old audiences to accept it." So just add a little bit of exaggerated body or facial expressions. ”
"That's it." Zhou Xingchi laughed, "To be honest, I have found a lot of new actors to try, but their performances are all integrated into the play, which is very natural, but it is too natural, what I want is not this."
Feel. It's the kind of ingredient that needs a little drama in it. ”
The more he talked, the happier he became, "It was the same when I was looking for Zhao Wei, she repeatedly excused herself and said that she had never acted in comedy. But I just thought she could, but unfortunately, I didn't say anything about her. ”
"Then what did Director Zhou say in the end?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but be curious.
Zhou Xingchi smiled and said, "Finally, I asked, don't you want to try the horns other than the little swallow?" ”
Lin Xiao sighed secretly, worthy of being a veteran king, if the name Zhou Xingchi is not enough for the little swallow who is red through half the sky to try a new drama, then this sentence is the last straw that hits the soft underbelly and crushes the camel.
"When Zhao Wei recommended you to me, I was still a little worried, but now, this worry is completely unnecessary." Zhou Xingchi groaned for a while, and gave a thumbs up again, "Okay, no problem." ”
However, Lin Xiao did not relax, what the other party said just now was the first scene, so it means that there is a second scene.
At this moment, there was a cold on his neck again, and the missing necklace returned to his neck again.
"The second scene...... Zhou Xingchi thought about it, but then suddenly smiled and clapped his hands, "Forget it, if this scene can be played well, then this character is almost the same." ”
It's done? OK?
Lin Xiao couldn't believe it, although the audition of Hong Kong directors is completely different from that of the mainland, sometimes a sentence can determine whether an actor can be on or not. But just one scene is really rare!
Is this the role of the Bodhi necklace? Skipped the second step of the review?
Seeing Lin Xiao looking at himself, Zhou Xingchi couldn't help but smile and said, "Congratulations, I can reveal the name of this film to you now, its name is: Shaolin Football." It will be filmed at the end of the year, and next month, the list of actors will be announced and a press conference will be held. ”
Even Lin Xiao, who has been up and down for a few years, is inevitably excited at this moment, this is not an ordinary drama, it can be said that it is not even comparable to a big drama! However, its impact is incomparably far-reaching. cooperating with Zhou Xingchi's first film, which he wrote, directed and acted in, and appeared on the big screen for the first time, will pave a broad road for his future acting career!
"Thank you Director Zhou for the opportunity." Lin Xiao said sincerely.
"You're right with the taste of this film." Zhou Xingchi smiled and said, "But your treatment is still a newcomer, you are paid 3,000 for filming Kangxi, and the movie is naturally a little higher, but it is not the protagonist, and it is not high, you have to be psychologically prepared." ”
I have long heard that "Star Master" picks, and it turns out to be true. Lin Xiao vomited in his heart, but this kind of opportunity is definitely not something that money can measure.
Seeing Lin Xiao nodding in agreement, Zhou Xingchi said, "In that case, I will send you back to your company." ”
After chatting for a while and discussing the content and style of this play, Zhou Xingchi said that after the official signing, he would send the script over, of course, only his part, and let the agent arrange the schedule.
