Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 59: Chaos and Twisting

The opening ceremony is over.

The reporters returned home with a full load.

I had already paid for the travel expenses when I came, but I didn't expect that I could take some delicious food with me when I leave.

"Xiao Xu, your remarks are too explicit... Alas."

Master Zhang sighed. He never liked to offend people.

Even if I sneer at "Red Cliff" in my heart, I will never show it.

"I think it's good. It's normal for young people to be outspoken. Besides, what a crap shoot Wu Yusen made. With the same funds and subject matter, you can definitely do a much better job."

Zhang Weiping looked at Xu Ming with admiration and patted him on the shoulder, feeling quite similar to me.

If it weren’t for the inappropriate occasion and Benshan being there.

He really wanted to wield his hoe and adopt a son.

"It's all thanks to our master's good teaching. In my heart, Director Zhang is indeed better than the one named Wu. Our movie's box office will definitely surpass Red Cliff." Xu Mingmeng flattered him.

How could he not know that after the release of "Three Guns", the reputation was polarized and the box office stopped at 2.6 million, which would just exceed half of the total box office of the two parts of "Red Cliff"?
Even Master Zhang and Zhang Weiping knew it was unlikely.

After all, the total investment of "Three Guns" was only 70 million, of which 15 million was used to purchase the film adaptation rights of "Blood Labyrinth", and 20 million was publicity and promotion funds.

Excluding the actors' salaries, the funds used for production did not exceed 30 million.

The total investment of "Red Cliff" was 8500 million US dollars, or million RMB. Even if it was exaggerated, it would not be too much.

But even if Xu Ming's words were unrealistic, the two of them would just find it pleasing to the ear.

It can be said that the fact that "Three Guns" can be compared with "Red Cliff" is already a victory.

"What do you mean I taught you well? Just explain it clearly so that others can hear it and think that what you said was instructed by me."

Uncle Benshan standing by twitched his mouth, and he wanted to slap his disciple on the back of the head.

I just wanted him to make some noise, like shouting a slogan that the movie box office has exceeded X billion. Who would have thought that this guy would go up and try to scam me by claiming to be from "Red Cliff".

By the way, this guy's last movie partner was Orange Sky Entertainment, so it's no surprise that he's using his former colleague as a scapegoat.

"Yes, yes, yes. It wasn't taught by my master. I figured it out on my own." Xu Ming nodded repeatedly.

But everyone no longer believed it, and looked as if they saw through it.

Finished.

It looks like the pot can't be removed.

Uncle Benshan scratched his head and looked at Xu Ming next to him. The latter had a harmless expression on his face, but he suddenly became angry.

"I am your master, what can I say to you? Come here."

"Master, please kick gently."

……

"Card!"

"This one is passed."

When Xu Ming heard Master Zhang's voice, he immediately felt relieved.

He was dressed in pink, so bright that he couldn't bear to look at himself.

Regardless of how Master Zhang's reputation is in later generations, Xu Ming, as an actor, appeared in the former's camera for the first time, and the nervousness he felt was indelible.

Fortunately, the first step of starting up the machine is very easy.

"Xu Ming, you don't have to be so tense. Relax and perform in the way that's most comfortable for you. I'll tell you if you need to make any adjustments." Master Zhang shouted from behind the monitor.

"I understand, Director Zhang."

Xu Ming nodded and let the makeup artist touch up his face.

Then the master walked over slowly and said in a low voice: "Director Zhang is right, your acting is too rigid, bring out the feeling of our Errenzhuan."

"Although you only joined the industry late, I saw that you performed well on Liu Laogen's stage before."

He brought the entire Zhao Family Class here just to promote the Errenzhuan culture.

It also laid the foundation for his theatrical performances on Liu Laogen Grand Stage.

Xu Ming's performance just now was rather serious, which was contrary to his idea.

It was quiet.

Generally speaking, there is only one person's voice on the set, and that is the director.

What's more, this is Master Zhang's place.

"Okay, I'll adjust my state, Master." Xu Ming nodded.

Master Zhang didn't say anything, so how could he possibly go against his master's wishes?
But the aspirations I had at the beginning were instantly gone. I was just an actor in "Three Guns", and the final say was in the hands of Master Zhang, my teacher, and Zhang Weiping.

No matter who speaks, he just nods.

When the filming started again, Xu Ming brought out the same excitement as when he acted in "Not Short of Money".

Now the master is satisfied.

Master Zhang frowned.

Everyone on the field was waiting.

"Let's do it again. Try to be more restrained and try every method." Master Zhang said thoughtfully.

While this result made everyone in the crew breathe a sigh of relief, a gloomy feeling also emerged in their hearts.

The director compromised out of habit.

But he only compromised halfway. He neither completely followed Uncle Benshan's ideas nor strengthened his own thinking.

When there are two voices on a set.

This doomed the film to be a chaotic style.

Xu Ming has no objection.

He uses multiple performance styles in almost every scene.

Although he was sandwiched between Master Zhang and Uncle Benshan, he felt very happy.

But under the hands-on training of the two, Xu Ming's acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

He also realized that if the film had a different director, perhaps "Three Guns" would have become a cheesy comedy with good box office performance.

If the Zhao family team was replaced in this drama, perhaps "Three Guns" could become a brain-burning suspense film with good reputation.

But it just so happens that Master Zhang and Uncle Benshan are both very talented people.

When two very talented people who neither of them is willing to give in to the other meet, if their thinking cannot be synchronized, the result of their mixture will be a disaster.

For several days.

Xu Mingdu has started the bad mode.

"Brother Honglei, you should do more."

"Cheng Ye, just let go and act. I will support you."

"Sister Yan Ni, the comedy you and Mr. Ni Dahong performed was so good. I think you can keep up the good work."

In short, all the roles are yours, and I, the protagonist, am willing to be your supporting role.

As a result, a spirit of humility was established within the group.

Everyone says Xu Ming is magnanimous.

The more this happens, the more people are willing to give him the opportunity to act.

Damn it, I really don’t want to show so much face, okay…

Xu Ming was in tears.

But how many people really don’t want to act in Master Zhang’s plays?

Even if the former shows resistance, everyone will just think that young people are thin-skinned.

"Card!"

"This one is over, we're done."

Everyone responded weakly.

After several days of non-stop work, they were exhausted.

Including the actors, their minds were also full of confusion and their acting was so fucking messy.

Xu Ming looked like he was being squeezed dry.

During each shoot, the thoughts the two men instilled in his ears seemed to be fighting in his mind.

In his previous life, Xiao Shenyang listened to his master wholeheartedly.

But Xu Ming couldn't do it. He knew what the consequences would be if he continued acting like that, so he became very conflicted.

We can't just lie there like this any longer.

Otherwise, he was afraid that he would become mentally schizophrenic before the filming was completed.

He should boldly open the microphone!
"Director Zhang..."
