I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 169, Liang Xiaolong: I've been eating too many oysters lately and I'm getting irritated. It's definitely not because I was punched and the blood is coming out.
at this time.

Li Xuan looked at Stephen Chow, who was not far away. While talking to the Columbia Pictures staff, he seemed to realize that Stephen Chow, now wearing a messy and dirty shirt, seemed to be a reflection of his inner self.
At this moment, Li Xuan remembered a line that Stephen Chow once said - he is like a dog.

After adding points, Li Xuan's eavesdropping skills are also maxed out. At least now, he can hear Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu's conversation. For this movie, Zhou Xingxing signed an investment contract with Columbia Pictures.
Just like that, we attracted several hundred million dollars of investment.

Li Xuan was actually still a little confused as to why he had to attract a Hollywood investment company to approve the "Kung Fu" project.

Given Zhou Xingxing's influence, he should be able to attract investment in China and even in the Hong Kong circle.

Although an actor's status will drop two levels when he turns to director, Stephen Chow has "Kung Fu Soccer" as his foundation, so there are not so many doubts about his directing ability.

However, the answer to this question will soon be known.
"How could a domestic company possibly pay Stephen Chow to make a movie? Although Stephen Chow is the King of Comedy, they want to be the one who controls the King of Comedy, rather than letting the King of Comedy really start his own business. Although it doesn't make sense for good actors to become directors, Stephen Chow wants to start his own business, which is different from simply becoming a director."

Yuan Hua’s words were actually very straightforward.

No matter how awesome you, Zhou Xingxing, are, your position should still be our lackey.

If you want to stand up and be a human being, that's not good.
The former friend has become an enemy.

No matter how high or far an actor's position is, even if he is worshipped and admired like Stephen Chow or Stephen Chow, he is still tied and led, and is a tool, a money-making tool for capital.

After the Columbia company people explained some things, they turned around and left.

Invest money and don't interfere in other matters. This is the advantage of Hollywood capital, giving full play to the advantages of "liberalism"
At this time, Zhou Xingxing came back and arranged things for everyone to pay attention to.

When Stephen Chow was describing the script in vivid detail.

Some people have already started laughing out loud. He is indeed Stephen Chow. People started laughing before the filming of the drama even started. He is indeed the genius Stephen Chow.

"He truly deserves to be called the King of Comedy, a man who brings laughter whenever he appears." Huang Shengyi, who was standing next to him, also started laughing.
whee.

Then look at your own script.

No more laughing.

The character I portrayed in the script was too simple and crude, without even a single line.

Not a single line!
Isn't this just a vase?

Although I feel a little resentful, but think about it carefully, who are the main actors? Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hua, even the last one Chen Guokun, have good resumes.

She is the only one who is still a student.

Oh no, there is another one, there is also Li Xuan.

"Hold on. I might become a star student, just like my senior Zhao Yanzi, who won the Best Actress award before she even graduated from college. She's a legend. I want to catch up with her. People like Li Xuan are just passing through. They won't be around for long."

"Yes, you need to have a big picture. Only with a big picture can you accomplish great things."

Huang Shengyi was comforting himself at this time.

I am the heroine. Even if I am just a vase heroine, I am still the heroine, I am also a star girl. I am different from others.

There is an essential difference from others.

The person I’m paired with is Stephen Chow.

Of course, it would be an exaggeration to say that she has caught up with Zhao Yanzi. She won the Best Actress Award in her senior year. There is no more legendary actor than her in the entire Beijing Film Academy.

Huang Shengyi’s goal is not to surpass her, as long as he can get a nomination.

A simple nomination would allow her to dominate the entire school year.

I can't be the first in history.

I was second in history.

Not bad.

But when she saw Li Xuan's makeup done, she suddenly felt relieved.

Just this role.

Not to mention improving your status.

It’s good enough as long as it doesn’t become a joke.

Li Xuan's look was also carefully designed, with seductive flip-flops, shorts and a vest, plus a headgear with only sparse hair, which gave off a funny feeling.

Everyone looked at him with pity, especially Bruce Leung, who laughed particularly happily.

This person who was promoted by Andy Lau's connections definitely didn't know that this role was a big pitfall.

For others, Li Xuan was recommended by Andy Lau and got in through using his connections, so Stephen Chow agreed to let him in.

Even this character's position is not low, he is the ultimate villain of the movie.

An "ooc" villain used to tie up the story.

That’s right, although Huoyun Evil God looks the strongest, the actual villain is the Axe Gang, and he is the real villain.

Because there is no Fire Cloud Evil God in history, but there are Axe Gangs everywhere, and there are people like the Axe Gang leader everywhere. Fire Cloud Evil God is not so much a villain as a tool to sublimate the protagonist's emotions. It corresponds to the Tathagata Palm, which serves as a foil for the protagonist who has reformed and been reborn.

The Axe Gang’s roles are the main focus.

The Fire Cloud Evil God is a standard status trap. He looks to have a good position, but in fact it doesn't have much meaning, unless you insist on saying that he has too many shots of his face.

With this sparse and funny look, no matter how many shots there are, is there anyone who would like it?

"not bad."

Stephen Chow did express his admiration several times. Most people would have given up and run away after seeing this look, let alone someone like Li Xuan who has a good look.

I won't bother with such an ugly character.

If Li Xuan really couldn't accept the makeup, he would let Liang Xiaolong do it. It wouldn't be a big deal.

The entertainment industry is cruel. It seems like you won’t get any good role soon.

But what was unexpected was that Li Xuan's eyes were surprisingly calm, without any disgust or rejection.

"Fire Cloud Evil God?"

Why play this role?

In fact, Li Xuan also has some feelings here.

When watching kung fu in his previous life, Li Xuan had some feelings. When everyone was immersed in Xingzai's Tathagata Palm, he was watching the ugly bald man who used Toad Kung Fu.

If I tell others about this, they might think I'm a weird kid.

They actually paid attention to this ugly villain who was defeated by a great master.

Maybe it’s because of my upbringing.

I actually pay attention to this kind of person.

Li Xuan at this time.

Just silently watching Zhou Xingxing's smile.

"Since our work is called Kung Fu, it must contain Kung Fu elements. As the chief martial arts instructor of Kung Fu, I have the obligation to tell you how to film Kung Fu."

As one of the Four Little Dragons, Liang Xiaolong has first-class kung fu attainments and is also the chief martial arts instructor of this kung fu event. There are many martial arts masters coming this time. Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu are both fellow brothers and sisters of Cheng Shilong. They have extraordinary qualifications and real skills.

Yuan Hua is Bruce Lee's martial arts stunt double. He is a true grandmaster of light movements like leaping into the air.

"I heard you have some martial arts skills and a good reputation among many crews, but the requirements for martial arts dramas, idol dramas, and our real-life fighting works are fundamentally different."

Liang Xiaolong reminded Li Xuan here.

This is different from any drama you’ve filmed before.

What is needed here is real action and real martial arts.

In fact, looking at Li Xuan's resume, Liang Xiaolong still admires him very much. If possible, he would rather not let the role of Fire Cloud Evil God ruin his image.

If there is any highlight in this character's performance, it would probably be the martial arts scenes, where he performs beautiful martial arts moves and conquers the audience with visual spectacles.

This may not be a path that can be taken.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have strong enough skills.

The only thing that made Liang Xiaolong sigh was that no matter how strong his kung fu was, could it be stronger than these old guys who had practiced kung fu for decades?

In the end, it would be nice to have a second-tier performance under their light.

Martial arts is something that comes from comparison.

Exercise, kung fu techniques, and a sense of power.

"It's okay. Everything is up to you. You're the chief martial arts instructor now, so you have the final say."

What Li Xuan said was not a lie. There was always a person in charge on a film set. The person in charge of martial arts and action scenes was Liang Xiaolong, and the person in charge of literary dramas was Stephen Chow.

"Then let me see your level first."

It is equivalent to a baseline test, after which specific targeted exercises are given.

This is also very reasonable.

"It's good to give those with connections a warning."

Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes. It seemed that this young man was going to be unlucky. He was afraid that he would be hit by a series of punches and would probably be bruised.

"Are you good at boxing or kicking?"

"Boxing, right?"

"Okay then. I won't bully the younger generation. I'll fight you with my fists. Use all your strength. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

As the master of northern-style kicks, Liang Xiaolong's southern-style Wing Chun is also not weak.

Even if you use fists, you are bullying the younger generation.

But it was just a show of force.

Huang Shengyi next to him was actually looking forward to it, and he really wanted to see Li Xuan get humiliated.

Just because you acted in a few martial arts dramas, does that mean knowing Kung Fu is Kung Fu?

Real martial arts and the fancy "dancing" in martial arts novels are two completely different concepts.

3, 2, 1.

Start.

Liang Xiaolong did not take it lightly. Liang style Wing Chun emphasizes the combination of hardness and softness.

And Li Xuan also used the Taizu Changquan in a simple and unpretentious manner.

Just met face to face.

Liang Xiaolong's expression changed slightly.

Li Xuan also knew that even the extra skills he had practiced might not be enough for a Kung Fu master like Liang Xiaolong.

Reality is not "The Best Under Heaven". There is no indestructible diamond and no star-sucking magic.

What we compete with is simple strength and skills, practical experience.

The other party is a kung fu master who has practiced for forty or fifty years.

I have to give it my all.

After two rounds, Li Xuan discovered that the opponent had exposed a flaw to him, but this flaw was a trap, and he had to step into it. He was indeed a kung fu master.

The master's power and sighs are full of admiration.

A punch hit his open goal.

"Master Liang, I lost. I am the one who is inferior in skills."

"Well, you do need more practice, but it's not bad."

"Master Liang, why is your nose bleeding?"

"I've been eating too many oysters lately, and I'm feeling a bit irritated."

"There's blood in your mouth too."

"It's just bleeding gums."
