Chapter 372: Progress in Acting
Following Andy Lau's instructions and returning to the hotel, Cui Zhengyuan went into the study as soon as possible.
turned out a lot of Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung movies and watched them carefully, and even the dinner was brought in by Zheng Xinghuai for him.
I used to watch movies and pay attention to those wonderful shots and good passages, but after watching them, my impression quickly blurred.
This time, with the purpose of learning acting skills, Choi Jung-won switched back and forth between slow release and pause from time to time, just to observe the characteristics of two big-name stars who are known for their acting skills.
Not to mention, once you settle down and observe carefully, you really learned a lot of useful things from him.
In the same way, many new questions arise.
Since these questions are discovered in actors like Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung, the words used to ask Andy Lau will not be inspired by haode. Because in all fairness, when comparing acting skills, the latter is always a little worse than the first two.
Except for Andy Lau, Cui Zhengyuan has no more familiar actors on the Chinese side.
After thinking about it, he called back to South Korea and found Choi Min-sik, a national actor he had only met not long ago.
This senior is known for his brilliant acting skills, and I believe that you can get a lot of experience from him.
Cui Zhengyuan's call, Cui Min-sik was both surprised and a little happy. After all, it is the advice of the boss of a large company, and from time to time everyone has this opportunity to be a teacher.
Listening to Cui Zhengyuan's troubles, Cui Min-sik seemed very relaxed. Hahadaxiao took a moment before saying, "Executive Cui, you, you're caught in a strange circle." I always think about how to play a good role. It's only perfect when you become this character. β
"Becoming this character?" Cui Zhengyuan was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and still didn't have any clue.
Cui Minzhi didn't make a fuss, and explained to him directly. "In fact, a really good actor doesn't rely on acting. It's about doing. For example, Huang Feihong, the character who appears most in Chinese movies, has been played by many people. So who plays it best? β
After listening to the question, Cui Zhengyuan replied with some disbelief: "It's Jet Li." β
In the history of Chinese film, more than 90 people have played the role of a generation of grandmasters. But Cui Zhengyuan is most familiar with Jet Li's version, which completely brings the style of a martial arts master in the late Qing Dynasty to life, as if it were really Huang Feihong in person.
Choi Min-sik told the mystery and woke up Choi Jung-won in one fell swoop. "Jet Li is not called playing Huang Feihong, but Huang Feihong. In fact, if anyone plays the best, it is actually Huang Feihong himself. Only you know your own mental journey, and you can perform the most true image. So. If you're going to play a role, don't think about how to play it well. It's about turning yourself into the character itself, thinking about things in his own right, so that it's the closest to perfection. Some people say that actors are a little nervous, and it is because of this role reversal. β
It's not acting, it's doing.
Choi Min-sik opened a skylight for Choi Jung-won and let him see the success of top actors.
Chow Yun-fat in the movie is not Chow Yun-fat, but Brother Pony. It's not that he plays Brother Pony who wants to regain what he lost, but Chow Yun-fat himself wants to get back what belongs to him. Therefore, the image of Brother Xiao Ma is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even after a few decades, it is still an ageless classic.
Leslie Cheung in the movie is not Leslie Cheung, but Cheng Dieyi. So it was not Cheng Dieyi who fell in love with Duan Xiaolou, but Leslie Cheung. Therefore, the supreme "Farewell My Concubine" was achieved. also opened up the sorrow that can never be resolved.
When my brother jumped from the window tower, I don't know if it was the effect of heartache or Cheng Dieyi's relief.
With this insight, Cui Zhengyuan turned off the DVD. Get up and walk around the room. There are words in his mouth, and his expression seems to be chattering.
He is constantly hypnotizing himself, he is not Cui Zhengyuan now. is the underworld Liu Jianming, who is about to put on the coat of the police.
We must do evil under the guns of justice, and we must suffer under the attention of the police badge.
When Zheng Xinghuai opened the door early the next morning and was about to wake up Cui Zhengyuan, he was startled.
I saw Cui Zhengyuan staring at the mirror with a depressed expression, and kept repeating a line in his mouth: I want to exchange with him.
The tone was full of hope and helplessness.
Knowing that fate had opened the door to Solo, he had to step in and be hanged.
If you look back, it's hell. But if you don't look back, it's an infernal hell.
Choi Jung-won has been in this state until the shooting site, and he has devoted himself to the shooting with his own feelings.
Liu Weiqiang stood behind the monitor, and even his arms couldn't help shaking.
It's amazing, Cui Zhengyuan, who didn't understand it yesterday, has become like a god today.
Every look, every line, is perfectly expressed. Even if the god of acting comes, he can't find anything that can be modified.
Especially in the camera, Cui Zhengyuan stood alone in the queue of the police force, watching Yu Wenle's back disappear outside the door, and his inner monologue made the scene sublimated.
Several female staff members on the sidelines shed tears on the spot. The first time I was impressed by a person's acting skills, it was so amazing.
When Liu Weiqiang excitedly announced the perfect end of the shooting, Cui Zhengyuan's mind was dizzy and immediately fell to the ground. Fortunately, a few extras around him were quick and helped him, otherwise he might really break.
It wasn't until a long time had passed that he regained consciousness. But I can still feel that my brain is wooden, and I can't raise any motivation to think about things.
Fortunately, the people around him who were eagerly waiting for him to wake up could still recognize him.
Grinning tiredly, Cui Zhengyuan said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, I'm worried about everyone." It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm too tired, just rest and rest. β
But in my heart, I was laughing at myself, and I was really a little self-conscious. has just come into contact with the actor's business, and he arrogantly wants to play the level of a top actor. As a result, he was so tired that he almost collapsed and fell unconscious.
In the future, you must pay attention, but you can't be stupid.
Liu Weiqiang saw that his complexion had recovered a little, and hurriedly handed over a bottle of water. smiled: "Lance, your performance just now is very exciting, I believe that when the movie is released, it will definitely become a classic picture." β
After a few mouthfuls of water, Cui Zhengyuan's brain finally recovered from the crash. He sat up with Zheng Xinghuai's hand. After taking two breaths, he said modestly: "If the classics are not classics, you don't dare to expect extravagance, just make the director satisfied with you." β
"Satisfied, of course satisfied, couldn't have been more satisfied. To be honest, based on your performance just now, if you weren't too young, you would want to replace Andy and let you act. In a good mood, Liu Weiqiang's face also relaxed. A rare joke.
Andy Lau was on the side, and when he heard him make fun of himself, he snorted angrily: "If you really dare to do this, from tomorrow onwards, I will go to your house to eat the overlord meal." β
Listening to the director and the actor talking to each other, everyone laughed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Wenle, who had only had a one-sided relationship with Cui Zhengyuan before, came up. "Lance, seriously, how did your acting skills become so good? Teach me. β
He is a more diligent and hard-working young man in the post-king era of the Hong Kong film industry. and Nicholas Tse have supported the faΓ§ade of the young generation of the Hong Kong film industry, so that there will be no successor to the former Oriental Hollywood.
At the same time, his private life is very low-key, and he also pays attention to his own literacy. So Cui Zhengyuan has a good impression of him, not as prejudiced as a certain "master photographer".
"It's so-so. It was last night that I realized something. I don't know how to say it. You leave a phone number, and we will keep in touch and communicate with each other in the future. Cui Zhengyuan took the opportunity to have a relationship with him.
Yu Wenle was also flattered. I didn't expect to get close to this shijie-level star.
The young man was already very shy, and his face turned red all of a sudden, forgetting what had just happened. Obediently exchanged personal phone calls with Choi Jung-won.
Andy Lau saw that the scene was almost cleaned up, and proposed: "Let's take a photo collectively, it's rare for Zhengyuan to come to our Hong Kong to make a movie, which can be regarded as a commemoration." β
"That's a good proposal!" Everyone agreed.
So the one who looks for the camera looks for the camera, and the one who clears the open space clears the clearing. After everything was ready, all the cast and crew on the scene, more than 50 people, huddled together, one by one making funny expressions, and Zuihou was faithfully recorded by the camera.
For this acting experience, Cui Zhengyuan is also unforgettable. I found the videographer who was in charge of developing the photos, and I specially explained that when the photos came out, I must send him a copy.
In addition to group photos, Cui Zhengyuan also took a lot of photos with Liu Weiqiang, Andy Lau, Yu Wenle and others.
When the online social networking sites in his hands are operated in the future, he can post them on the Internet and give fans benefits.
In fact, except for Cui Zhengyuan's sets of shots, the other parts have been almost filmed. It is expected that in half a month, the movie "Infernal Affairs" will be completed.
After a few months of post-production, the film will be dedicated to the final version, presenting a peerless classic in front of the audience.
After accompanying Cui Zhengyuan to finish filming, Andy Lau's task is completed. Starting tomorrow, this king who is like a money-making machine will have to work hard for his own career.
At the time of parting, he also cared for Cui Zhengyuan. "Is there anything else you have over here? Do you need help? If you need it, I can call someone. β
After delaying others for so long, Cui Zhengyuan is already embarrassed, how dare he work again. Hurriedly stopped: "No need, Brother Hua." Tomorrow, I'll help Lin Xi and Wu Lecheng make some tunes, and I'm going back to South Korea. There's more going on over there, can't wait. β
"Oh, and did you participate in the soundtrack of the movie?" Andy Lau also has an identity as a singer, and has released countless popular classic songs, so he is naturally very sensitive to this aspect.
"It's not a soundtrack, it's just a theme song. Seeing me coming, how could Lin Xi let me go. Speaking of which, Cui Zhengyuan was also very helpless.
Lin Daciren is really a good hand at catching strong men, from the moment he saw him, regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he decided the matter by himself, and he didn't even have a chance to speak to Cui Zhengyuan.
In this way, Cui Zhengyuan has another job.
That is, together with Lin Xi and Wu Lecheng, they will jointly create the theme song for "Infernal Affairs". (To be continued......)
