Stephen Chow's reason sounds so simple and sloppy, but in fact, it contains his appreciation and trust in Xu Hengzhou as an actor.

In the case of never met, I already felt that the other party could play the role of the male protagonist he set.

At least in terms of acting skills, I don't worry that the other party can't do it.

This also shows at a deep level that Xu Hengzhou's hard work in the past year or so has indeed made a very solid endorsement for himself, letting people in the outside world know what kind of actor he is.

And when Xu Hengzhou entered the crew, the performance he gave did not live up to his reputation.

Stephen Chow found a lot of inspiration from Xu Hengzhou's performance, and was willing to make significant changes to the plot involving the role of the male protagonist from the core of this movie.

You must know that when he filmed movies in the past, the inspiration he usually got from the actors was to add one or two scenes, but the impact on the entire framework was not deep, and it was impossible to involve a change in the core.

Stephen Chow feels that he is very domineering as an actor or director, and has his own set of behavioral logic and shooting guidelines.

Basically, you choose a path and stick to it to the end.

There are really not many people like Xu Hengzhou who don't say anything, but just let him change his course through his own behavior that has no special purpose but is professional enough.

The few people who were able to make him change his mind before were one or two directors he met when he was an actor.

They are very individual people, and having personality means that they are principled enough, and they also have independent and mature three views, which will not be easily changed by others, but are easy to change the people around them.

And it's usually a positive change.

They are always able to make you know head-on that something is missing about yourself and can be improved.

When Stephen Chow was young, he was easily influenced by such a determined person, even now, when he sees such a determined person, he will be moved, and he will reflect on some of his own things, and he can get a lot of gains.

Although Xu Hengzhou seems to be a sunny and handsome young actor with good acting skills, it seems that there are not too many people with edges and corners.

But after Stephen Chow and Xu Hengzhou got along for a day or two, he felt that Xu Hengzhou was also a person with personality.

At a young age, you know very well what you want and what you do, and at the same time, you can calm down and complete the plans and goals you have set.

It's a rarity.

Few people can understand so many things at Xu Hengzhou's age.

When Stephen Chow knew that Xu Hengzhou was a person with content, he immediately dispelled the little doubt in his heart.

Why is such a young actor able to have those deep and complex emotions?

can appear in so many literary films, and can show acting skills that middle-aged actors can't master.

Maybe it's because Xu Hengzhou has a strong ego that he can better understand those characters with extremely distinct personalities.

Xu Hengzhou didn't know that Stephen Chow's impression of him had changed from beginning to end, and if he knew, he would definitely agree with what Stephen Chow said without hesitation.

Although he has systematic help, he has to practice 10,000 times for each role in the early stage, and he really relies on his own willpower to support it.

Under the tempering, he has undergone a great transformation compared to a year ago, and now he is more determined than a year ago.

He is no longer so hesitant, he knows what he has to do, and once he has a direction, all that remains is firmness.

In Xu Hengzhou's view, the filming of "Journey to the West" was smooth and went extremely smoothly except for the short run-in period at the beginning, including but not limited to the fact that the director let him enter the acting directly without his preparation.

It wasn't until Director Stephen Chow, who had been letting them create freely, finally came down that Xu Hengzhou suddenly felt the sudden pressure.

Many of the crew members are the staff that Stephen Chow used to filming movies before, and they are his old team, and they are extremely familiar with him.

Therefore, when many people talk about Stephen Chow's directing style, they all say that Stephen Chow is a director who will directly use acting to tell the actors.

And this time, filming has been started for so long, and director Stephen Chow has not yet started to talk to the actors, which makes them feel a little unaccustomed and surprised.

Xu Hengzhou didn't know Stephen Chow's shooting style before, but when he heard the people around him say this, he actually faintly hoped that Stephen Chow could tell him a play, at least give him a direction.

Otherwise, if he is always allowed to create by himself, he will have to explore all kinds of diversity and present it to this director for him to choose from, how tiring it is!

Who would have thought that what he was looking forward to at the beginning has not been able to come true these days, but as a result, he has begun to gradually adapt to this kind of free play days, and director Stephen Chow suddenly began to do things.

This kind of thing does not mean that after director Stephen Chow provides a direction for acting, he must ask the actors to act according to him.

But director Stephen Chow is a very good actor himself, and he knows the plot very well.

This script was originally written by him, so he also knows the core of the entire character more clearly and thoroughly than everyone here.

Once he started to play this role, to be honest, there was no one here who could compare......

It's outrageous.

Especially when a supporting role was always bad at playing his own role that day, Stephen Chow really couldn't hold back and went on his own, and directly performed a paragraph-

This is a common problem for all directors who are transferred by actors, and when they really can't help but talk about the play, they usually don't say it, but only act.

And then it was out of control.

Stephen Chow found that if you let the actors play freely, you can't let every actor play freely, there are some actors, and what they do play freely can't get into his eyes and can't pass his review.

So his current strategy is that although each role has to be demonstrated to the actor in person, after the demonstration, copying and imitation are not encouraged at all, he just gives a foundation, and then the actor can choose many performance modes by himself.

Of course, if it is the kind of actor who can't do basic acting skills, then there is no choice at all, and he will basically be taken astray by him, and he will unconsciously imitate his performance.

This is what Stephen Chow wants.

Those actors who can't act well imitate his performance and present what he wants, that's fine.

As for those actors who will not be deviated by him at all and have their own performance mode, they are fully capable of presenting something else for him to choose from and can bring him some creative inspiration.

His idea is relatively simple, the point is that he has high expectations for Xu Hengzhou and Huang Bo, and feels that the two of them will definitely not be led astray by their performances.

You must know that one is a literary film actor, the other is a comedy actor, and all of them are actor-level characters, and their performances may only be used as a reference, or even as a small inspiration, not to mention the so-called ones who will unconsciously act according to themselves!

It can't cause any distraction!

When Xu Hengzhou heard Stephen Chow's explanation, he didn't feel that he was not disturbed at all.

Maybe Huang Bo won't be disturbed, after all, he is a natural comedian, and he has his own performance of comedy and a set of understanding of comedy.

But I really haven't acted in comedy myself, and this movie happens to be a comedy, and there are many comedy expressions in it.

And the point is that many plots and character settings also allude to the kind of comedic expression attitude of Stephen Chow's characters in the past.

Originally, even if Stephen Chow didn't act, a large part of him would learn from Stephen Chow's previous performance methods when performing comedy-related plots.

Of course, this is only a partial reference, because this is originally a movie with emotional interest.

Being able to let the audience vaguely see the shadow of the Supreme Treasure from the character he plays is part of the purpose of this movie.

But Stephen Chow played this role thoroughly in front of him, and it was completely different.

You must know that Stephen Chow is very familiar with this kind of movie that is very suitable for his style, especially when this role is carefully set by him, and it is simply the feeling that the character comes true in front of his eyes and becomes a real person.

instantly played this role to the top, how does this make Xu Hengzhou perform? !

He watched Stephen Chow finish a demonstration, and as soon as he raised his hand and made a gesture of please, his blood pressure went up instantly.

It's hard to describe.

Especially Stephen Chow's relaxed attitude and trusting gaze, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Xu Hengzhou's next performance would be much better than his own demonstration.

But for Xu Hengzhou, if it was a few performances that Stephen Chow occasionally demonstrated before, he might have surpassed it, but in the current performance, he really thinks that Stephen Chow is the most suitable for this plot.

It's hard to surpass!

In fact, this paragraph is said to fit Stephen Chow's style, not that it fits his comedy style.

This is the core of most successful comedies, like tragedy, Stephen Chow, who is good at acting in comedy, especially the comedy movies he starred in are all successful, it can be said that Stephen Chow, who is famous in film history, in the eyes of everyone, may be the best at comedy performance.

But in fact, he may be more impressed by the audience than he is in a comedy.

Take the current paragraph, for example.

In the plot of "Journey to the West", it can be said that it reproduces the dialogue and parting between the Supreme Treasure and the Zixia Fairy in "Journey to the West".

The very classic line about 10,000 years of love theory in "Journey to the West" is actually very empty and meaningless to listen to alone.

But it was this line, under the interpretation of Stephen Chow and the blessing of the plot, that touched countless audiences that year, and at the same time, it also made this classic line pass down to this day.

And now, if anyone looks back on this movie again, they will also be moved by this passage.

Such a classic created by Stephen Chow himself, and now it is performed by Stephen Chow, Xu Hengzhou only feels that the feelings in it have only increased compared to that year.

He is by no means the only one who feels this way, when Stephen Chow finished the performance, everyone at the scene was in reminiscence, and even some people directly shed tears and couldn't cry.

You must know that they did not shoot according to the timeline of the entire plot, but from east to west, that is to say, this scene is cut from the beginning to the end, and there is no cause at all.

In particular, the staff are basically in a state of work, and in this state they are highly nervous, and it is not easy to enter the play, and they basically regard the actors' performances as normal work.

But Stephen Chow has such charm, or the scene he plays has the ability to hit people's hearts like this.

Xu Hengzhou found that although he had a system, he was still shocked by other people's acting skills.

Every time he sees the acting skills of those senior actors, he will feel that his talent is not worth mentioning in front of these elders.

After all, with the help of the system, he has acting skills that are roughly on par with these elders, and the system can't help him improve his talent, but can only help him use thousands of rehearsals day after day and timely feedback to make him progress and grow.

Xu Hengzhou said that he would like to get that kind of golden finger more.

You can increase your acting skills by just looking at other people's performances, or you can increase your acting skills by drinking saliva!

Of course, it is better to have a system than not to have a system.

Without a system, relying on Xu Hengzhou alone, he felt that he didn't have the ability to force out of the limit through training again and again, so as to break through the limit.

First of all, this is not enough time, and it is impossible for him to complete 10,000 training sessions in the real world.

Secondly, if there is no system, the mandatory training requirements at the beginning, he will start to play with his mobile phone after estimating three or four training times in real life......

Xu Hengzhou thought wildly, and by the way, he smoothed out the pressure on Stephen Chow's performance by this way of diverting attention.

But it may be that his attitude is too silent, Stephen Chow himself is a sensitive and delicate person, and he is very able to perceive the emotions of others, and he immediately felt Xu Hengzhou's point.

At the same time, Stephen Chow immediately realized that the weight of his performance just now may be different from the weight in the hearts of others.

He looked around at the other people around him, and found that most of them were still immersed in the emotions of the performance just now.

His performance and the feedback from the people around him are very likely to have caused a lot of pressure on Xu Hengzhou.

Stephen Chow thought for a moment, then looked up and said to Xu Hengzhou: "Why don't you put this scene in the afternoon." ”

Xu Hengzhou shook his head, his eyes were firm: "I can." ”
