Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 6: Beginning with the Golden Horse Award Winner and the Flying Apsaras Award Winner

[Daily Intelligence ①: Zhang Songwen, Zhou Yiwei, and Lin Jiachuan had a late-night chat in the dormitory last night. They all agreed that their roommate Yan Li was a loyal and kind person, and a great friend and brother. Their only criticism was that he had too many romantic relationships...]

Daily Intelligence ③: Dong Xuan still doesn't want to break up, so she's trying to break up and give Yan Li the cold shoulder in order to control him and make him behave himself.

Daily Intelligence ⑤: Actor Zhang Zhengyong, who plays Shi Danai in "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties," was originally considered for the role of Yuwen Chengdu, but Yan Li snatched the role through assistant director Wang Decai, which led to him becoming hostile to Yan Li. (Note: Zhang Zhengyong has practiced Sanda for many years and has won an amateur championship.)

Yan Li usually checks the system information first after getting up.

Today we have the full quota of ten pieces of intelligence, but half of them are useless or not very important, so we will skip them quickly.

Intelligence ① Yan Li didn't take the brothers' small meeting behind their backs to heart. Besides, this matter was not just talked about behind his back, but also talked about it to his face. Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei had talked to him about it specifically.

Intelligence ③ is the key reason why Yan Li remained calm about the breakup with his "ex-girlfriend" Dong Xuan.

I have seen through the other party's cards and have an absolute advantage, so I am naturally not in a hurry.

Intelligence ⑤ and Intelligence ⑦ are the intelligence that Yan Li values most.

Especially the intelligence ⑤, a potential enemy, who is also a martial artist. Yan Li even wanted to ask for props to find a short stick or dagger for self-defense.

Information ⑦ is mainly to let Yan Li know more about the actor Xie Junhao. After all, the role of Yang Guang played by him is one of the actors with the most rival scenes with Yan Li.

It is worth mentioning that Yan Li clicked on the (details) in the intelligence and took a few glances.

It includes information about Tse Kwan-ho's hometown, resume, personality, preferences, personal connections, and a small amount of personal privacy information.

Yan Li calls this type of intelligence [personal intelligence]. It is relatively valuable intelligence. Not only is the content detailed and comprehensive, but the output is also extremely low.

Yan Li has had the system for several months, and including this time with Xie Junhao, he has obtained character intelligence three times in total.

One of them was Wang Decai, and Yan Li made friends with him because of this advantage, and was able to join the crew of "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties".

So it’s a pity for Yan Li, as Tse Kwan-ho’s information is of little use to him.

If the target of this character intelligence is a powerful figure such as a producer or director, Yan Li might be able to secure the next film contract before the filming is completed.

As for information 9, Yan Li still insisted that the kissing scene director is also the acting director, and the "innocent" will be innocent...

...

He washed up and went downstairs to have breakfast. He had inquired yesterday and was told that the crew would provide breakfast, but he had to pick it up on site.

There was no show this morning, and Yan Li was too lazy to run so far to save money on a meal, so he just ate at a nearby breakfast stall.

Then, it was still the same grove as yesterday, and the same process as yesterday, practicing boxing and memorizing lines.

After just two rounds of boxing, Yan Li saw the long-haired girl from yesterday coming back. She was still wearing a T-shirt and jeans, but today's pants were more slim-fitting, showing off a pair of long and well-proportioned legs.

The girl was a little surprised to see Yan Li there again. She smiled and waved to greet him.

"Good morning."

"Hello."

Yan Li nodded without further small talk. With yesterday's preparation, he wasn't too embarrassed and just focused on practicing his own boxing moves.

The girl stopped and watched with interest for a while, then left and went back to her usual place, where she put on headphones to read a book or recite a script.

It was cloudy today, so I stayed a little longer. I felt hungry at eleven o'clock. Yan Li was about to pack up when he saw the girl with long hair passing by.

"gone?"

"Well, there's a show this afternoon."

As expected, he was an actor, so Yan Li was not surprised. They chatted casually for a few minutes and then left.

However, he was somewhat surprised to find that this girl was from the crew of "My Fair Princess 3". He had read in the newspaper that "My Fair Princess 3" was filming in Yangzhou, so he didn't know how it ended up in Hengdian.

Well, it could also be that the crew is divided into groups, one group in Yang City and the other group in Hengdian.

Just like the crew of "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties", Group A filmed Qin Qiong selling horses, and Group B filmed the Sui Dynasty palace, without any delay, and the efficiency was doubled.

After lunch, Yan Li put on makeup and changed clothes in the afternoon, and then came to Group B to wait for shooting.

He only has two scenes today, but he doesn't have many lines. He probably just serves as a background for characters like Yang Guang and says a few words at the end.

"Teacher Xie, I'm Yan Li, and I play Yuwen Chengdu."

"Hello, Teacher Yang. My name is Yan Li. I just graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. I play your son Yuwen Chengdu in the play. Please take care of him."

Xie is Xie Junhao. Before joining the crew, Yan Li had seen his representative film "The Thirteenth Son of the South China Sea". He became the Golden Horse Award winner for this film and is also one of the most influential actors in the entire crew.

Yang is Yang Shulin, who plays Yuwen Chengdu's father Yuwen Huaji in the play.

This person was not very famous and Yan Li was not familiar with him before. After asking Wang Decai, he realized that he had overlooked the important person.

In the Feitian Awards just announced in May, Yang Shulin was named the new Feitian Best Actor for his role in the TV series "Public Official".

Wow, a Golden Horse Award winner and a Flying Apsaras Award winner, these two powerful rival actors put a lot of pressure on the fledgling Yan Li.

Tse Kwan-ho is not a talkative person, partly because of his personality and partly because his Mandarin is not very good.

He even spoke Cantonese directly when filming. Fortunately, Yan Li had watched many Cantonese movies, and his roommate Zhang Songwen was from Guangdong Province, so he had asked him for advice from time to time, so he could barely understand the general idea.

However, Yan Li still planned to look at Xie's lines more often when he went back to memorize the script.

Otherwise, if you encounter someone you don’t understand and don’t know what is being said, it will easily mess up the performance.

Tse Kwan-ho is the Golden Horse Award winner, so he can speak his lines directly in Cantonese without worrying about whether his co-actors can understand him or not. Yan Li is a newcomer, so he dare not do too many NGs.

In comparison, Yang Shulin was much friendlier. He chatted with Yan Li with a smile and even gave some pointers on the on-site procedures and rules of the crew.

Every crew and even every director has their own on-site habits. The specific circumstances such as positioning, rehearsal, shooting, and rest are different. Knowing more about them will allow Yan Li to integrate into the crew earlier and more easily.

We rehearsed the scene before filming began. This scene was about Yang Guang killing his brother and taking his sister-in-law.

The plot is roughly that Yang Guang framed the prince in order to seize the throne, but his lust exposed his true nature, which made Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, furious and planned to abolish Yang Guang's position as prince.

However, the news leaked and was learned by Yang Guang, who decided to go all out and led his troops to stage a coup.

Before the palace coup, he first killed the deposed crown prince, and in a very perverted way, he bullied the deposed crown princess in front of his eldest brother.

Yu Wenzhi was sitting next to him. Yan Li, the man in charge of the military, led his men to hold down the deposed prince, and then personally strangled the deposed prince's neck with a cloth, applying continuous force.

Yang Guang hugged the struggling deposed Crown Princess and made some moves on her, occasionally provoking the deposed Crown Prince who had rolled his eyes.

"Don't worry, big brother. I will take good care of my sister-in-law after you leave."

"My breathing is not smooth now, but if my sister-in-law comforts me, I will feel better."

"..."

Yan Li had seen the lines before, but after actually performing it, he still couldn't help but sigh.

This bastard screenwriter must have written pornographic movies before!
Tse Kwan-ho is worthy of being the Golden Horse Award winner. When filming officially started, he not only portrayed Yang Guang's debauchery and cruelty, but more importantly, his temperament was not vulgar.

This is very rare!
Because Yan Li also has this kind of scene, and I have been thinking about how to act it out these past two days, I understand the importance of this scene played by Tse Kwan-ho even more.

So much so that on the way back from work, Yan Li kept thinking about how Xie Junhao did it.

It wasn't until before going to bed that I finally figured out the trick!
When others shoot this kind of drama, they mainly focus on the male and female aspects, and automatically put themselves in the position of gangsters.

But Tse Kwan-ho is different. He does not play a gangster, but Yang Guang in the play.

Yang Guang in the play is lustful and licentious, but women are more like prey and playthings to him. His purpose is not to release his animal desires, but to enjoy the pleasure of hunting, conquering and doing whatever he wants.

Coupled with Yang Guang's role status and Xie's personal image, most viewers will find him perverted, crazy and scary, but not vulgar.

Yan Li also wanted to do this, but after thinking about the plot and lines of the play played by Yuwen Chengdu, he felt that he could not follow Xie Xue.

Even if Yuwen Chengdu directly threw the heroine to his subordinates to be abused, Yan Li would find a way to be cold-blooded and unscrupulous.

But Yuwen Chengdu personally took the lead in queuing up, and he queued for several days. No matter how much he dug into the character's inner thoughts, it was useless...
