Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Everyone, have you heard that Master Xing will be opposite Chen Ping in the first scene tomorrow?"

"No way, the first shot is Chen Ping?"

"The notices are out, take a look."

"I go……"

After the announcement was issued, many actors in Tang Bohu's crew were talking about it.

"What is this guy's background? Is he an actor that Mr. Xing wants to praise?"

"It's impossible. This guy is not from Xingye Company. If he wants to praise him, he is only praising his own people. How can he praise outsiders?"

"Then why did you give Chen Ping such an important role, and also give him the first shot?"

"Who knows."

"I guess all the other actors are not convinced."

"Not to mention other actors, I'm not convinced either."

"Everyone will go together tomorrow. We would like to see how this guy shoots this first scene."

The first scene can be said to have a very special meaning for all the actors in Hong Kong.

He is not a well-known person in the industry, and most people would not dare to take photos of him.

Although there is Xing Ye in the first shot, Chen Ping is added.

This made the actors who were previously dissatisfied with Chen Ping really feel unhappy.

There are also people who want to watch the fun.

This first shot was not so easy to shoot.

Since the first shot has a very special meaning, if it is messed up, it will be extremely difficult to end it.

…

Early the next morning.

Chen Ping came to the set early.

Many people subconsciously said this when they saw Chen Ping.

"That is Chen Ping."

"He is the one who plays Zhu Zhishan."

"Yes, he stole Wu Zhenyu's role."

Chen Ping heard this voice and did not refute it.

There were too many such voices, and Chen Ping knew that it would be useless to say anything.

"How about it? There's pressure."

After breakfast, Master Xing walked over from the front.

"Master Xing, is it so early?"

Chen Ping was stunned: "Fortunately, I can withstand it."

"Haha, aren't there many differences between Xiangjiang and the mainland?"

"Actually, it's pretty much the same."

This is nothing.

When Chen Ping was filming Shinhwa, he was whipped several times.

Although many people have looked at Chen Ping with lustful eyes in the past two days, with the role Chen Ping plays now, no actor really dares to do it.

"You seem to be in a good mood. How do you memorize your lines?"

"I know it by heart."

"We got the lines right."

"OK."

to be honest.

Zhou Xingchi is also under pressure.

Choosing Chen Ping to play Zhu Zhishan was not Zhou Xingchi's best choice.

He did consider Wu Zhenyu before, but later gave up.

It's not that Wu Zhenyu's acting skills are not good, it's actually that Wu Zhenyu's acting skills are very good.

At least in terms of stable performance, he is definitely better than Chen Ping.

However, Chen Ping has advantages that Wu Zhenyu does not have.

That is, Chen Ping's talent for acting.

This kind of talent is rare.

During the last audition, Zhou Xingchi saw Chen Ping's talent in acting.

But having talent is not enough.

Chen Ping must also be recognized by everyone.

"Come on, let's go to the lounge."

"We are not acting now, so don't be nervous. Let's just think of it as reading the lines."

Afraid that Chen Ping would be nervous, Zhou Xingchi smiled and took Chen Ping to the lounge.

This lounge is for actors to memorize lines and rest and relax.

"How about it, is it ok?"

Seeing that Chen Ping seemed to have been prepared for a long time, Zhou Xingchi smiled.

He felt that what he just said seemed a bit redundant.

Because it seemed that Chen Ping was not nervous at all.

"You first……"

This plot is about Zhu Zhishan, played by Chen Ping, who owes money due to gambling, and then seeks help from Tang Bohu, played by Xing Ye.

Looking at Zhou Xingchi, Chen Ping shouted... "Brother Tang."

Brother Tang's words made Zhou Xingchi a little surprised.

This sentence of "Brother Tang" is much more affectionate than the one called "Brother Tang" by Chen Ping during the audition.

Not only is it more friendly, but it also becomes much more interesting.

But this is not a problem for Zhou Xingchi.

Hearing Chen Ping's words to Brother Tang, Zhou Xingchi stepped forward to greet him: "Hey, Brother Zhu."

Chen Ping continued to deepen his style and said again: "Brother Tang, help me."

This is the right line.

So it is not needed in the action area for the time being.

However, although it was a dialogue, Chen Ping's words were also lifelike.

Moreover, this sentence "Brother Tang" inherits the first sentence "Brother Tang", making the entire voice and intonation fresher and more interesting.

This made Zhou Xingchi secretly nod again.

If Chen Ping's first sentence is that Brother Tang is just innovative, has ideas, or has talent.

But the second sentence, Brother Tang, is that the innovation is further, the ideas are deeper, and the talent is more outstanding.

Don't look at it as being no different from the first sentence, or just a deepening of the first sentence, or even worse than the first sentence.

But that's not the case.

Brother Tang in the first sentence may have been inspired by the actor unintentionally.

This inspiration is unconscious.

But the deepening of the second tone is a conscious deepening.

This deepening is to form a unity of style.

this point is very important.

When Zhou Xingchi formed his own style at that time, it was not like he had such a strong nonsensical effect right after filming.

At that time, Zhou Xingchi suddenly had a nonsensical effect by accident.

If you don't pay attention to this kind of nonsense, then it will be almost the same as ordinary comedy, and no one will remember you.

but.

However, Zhou Xingchi deepened his skills step by step without making any sense, and formed Zhou Xingchi's style.

So far.

Nonsense has also become Zhou Xingchi's trademark.

And Chen Ping.

Unexpectedly, I also came up with this idea.

I have to say that geniuses sometimes have the same idea.

This surprised Zhou Xingchi even more.

"Ok, that's it."

Once I read the right lines, it was completed in no time.

However, this is not enough.

Although Chen Ping had indeed surprised Zhou Xingchi just now, the lines were not acting.

The lines are the lines, the acting is the acting.

Many actors know their lines very well, but as soon as they get to the set, they forget everything.

It's like taking a photo.

When not taking pictures, people’s expressions are very natural.

But once the camera is pointed at you, you feel uncomfortable all over.

Moreover, filming is not done alone.

Chen Ping is naturally very clear about this.

During the audition, he had already felt the terror of Zhou Xingchi.

You think the people standing in front of you are just ordinary people, but once you enter the filming process, Zhou Xingchi is Master Xing.

Yes.

Although Zhou Xingchi is not very old, even many people who are older than Zhou Xingchi have to respectfully call him Master Xing.

"Okay, I'll put on my makeup later."

Having no problem with the lines, Zhou Xingchi and Chen Ping went to the dressing room.

After a while, it will be official filming.

…

An hour later, Chen Ping walked out of the dressing room.

All the actors once again set their sights on Chen Ping.

"This guy's makeup is so ugly."

"I guess the makeup artist is not happy with this guy either."

"But when we were reviewing the lines just now, I felt that Mr. Xing was in a good mood."

"The lines are lines, and the acting is acting... You and Master Xing were also good at the lines before, but why did you become impotent later?"

All the actors are aware of the horror of Star Lord.

Anyone who has played against Mr. Xing knows how powerful his aura is.

You may not be able to see it when you're doing the dialogue, but once you get to the set, your aura comes out and you're just fooling around.

Many actors just look at Xingye and suddenly forget how to act.

"Xingzi, how are you?"

"Of course I'm fine."

"You must be fine. I'm asking about Chen Ping... After all, it's the first shot. You're really bold to let him take the first shot."

"I just reviewed the lines with him, and I think it's okay."

"The dialogues are different from the formal filming, I'm worried..."

"If there is anything to worry about, we have to go through the performance before we talk about it."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Director Li Lichi communicated with Zhou Xingchi.

"Producer, is the set ready?"

"Okay."

"light?"

"no problem."

"good……"

"Prepare."

"Acxon..."

When the clapperboard sounded, Tang Bohu's first shot officially began.

It’s different from the previous lines.

In the past, everyone just read their own lines. Even if they could add a performance accent, it was still just a dialogue.

But filming...

Then the voice, movements, expressions... must be done in one go.

At this moment, Tang Bohu, played by Zhou Xingchi, was using a brush to dip chicken wings in soy sauce at home.

Zhu Zhishan, played by Chen Ping, is waiting nearby.

Then servant A asked: Is one dish of soy sauce enough?

Zhou Xingchi said without looking back: Take your time!

Servant A: There are many people coming outside now asking for paintings. Do you really have to ignore them?

Tang Bohu: The young master is not in the mood to draw today. How many bags of garbage can you give them?

Servant A: Yes!

Originally, this scene was followed by two servants taking a pile of garbage to the people outside.

The extras outside were frantically searching through the garbage.

However, this scene has not been filmed for the time being, and it will be re-filmed later.

The next highlight is the appearance of Zhu Zhishan played by Chen Ping.

Countless pairs of eyes stared at Chen Ping.

Many experienced actors know that in this first scene, not to mention other things, the ability to withstand mental pressure is beyond the ability of ordinary actors.

This is why most of the first scenes are with well-known veteran actors.

Because only by finding well-known and experienced actors is it safer to avoid overturning.

only.

While other actors on the set were waiting to see Chen Ping's laughter, Chen Ping treated hundreds of pairs of eyes as if they didn't exist.

In a hurry, Chen Ping entered the Tang Mansion.

At this time, one of Tang Bohu's servants saw Chen Ping and called Mr. Zhu.

Chen Ping smiled leisurely.

This laughter is very magnanimous and has the style of an ancient scholar.

It's just surprising.

When Chen Ping came to Tang Bohu, he shouted: "Brother Tang, help."

The performer on the front foot is still an ancient talent, and the back foot is shouting for help.

The contrast between before and after makes people laugh.

"I'll go...this guy can do it."

Many actors whispered.

It was just one shot, but it brought such a big contrast.

This is much better than Chen Ping's performance when he played the official minister.

not only.

Actors with more experience see it more clearly.

Chen Ping's performance not only brings a strong contrast between before and after.

The two sentences of Brother Tang that Chen Ping read just now are also very innovative.

When ordinary people say Brother Tang, they mean to say Brother Tang politely.

But Chen Ping's "Brother Tang" is called "rising, inheriting, turning and combining", a song with four tunes... an indescribable charm.

Combined with Chen Ping's expression, the shot is simply stunning.

"This guy has a lot of skills."

Actor Wu Zhenyu frowned.

Chen Ping's performance just now shows his skill and imagination.

But Chen Huihong on the other side curled her lips: "This part is just his personal performance. Let's see if he can hold the aura of Master Xing later."

certainly.

This is also what many actors have in mind.

It doesn't matter how wonderful a performance is by one person. Here, you still have to watch the scene with Mr. Xing.

Seeing Chen Ping calling for help, Master Xing threw the brush away: "It seems that Brother Zhu must have lost cleanly in the casino again?"

Chen Ping kept his bewildered smile: "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, Brother Tang is the one who knows me!"

Master Xing laughed loudly and said with a mocking look: "Among the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, Brother Zhu is the most free and easy, and everyone knows it! As the saying goes, if the wind blows the eggshell, the wealth will be gone, and people will be happy. This is your motto, Brother Zhu. Isn’t it?”

Chen Ping accepted this calmly and responded humbly: "You're welcome, you're welcome, but compared to Brother Tang's uninhibited style, I can't help but fall behind!"

Master Xing's eyes lit up.

This scene is much more complicated than the line dialogue with Chen Ping just now.

Don’t look at the few sentences above.

But when speaking these lines, Zhou Xingchi performed various signature moves without interruption.

But Chen Ping not only caught it completely, but he was also able to show his own personality under Xingye's signature moves.

This is not acting.

Only by completely holding Master Xing's aura can he act so naturally.

"Nima, that's awesome."

"The performance is natural and doesn't seem to be processed at all."

"Can't this guy feel Master Xing's aura? I felt it even outside the set."

A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.

Everyone is an actor.

Although many actors perform in different ways, they actually achieve the same goal through different paths.

At this time, they were still in a mood to watch the excitement, but now, Chen Ping shocked them so much that they couldn't believe it.

"Good boy."

Zheng Peipei on the side also shouted "Hello" at this moment.

Chen Ping is naturally very familiar to him.

When I played Shaobao before, I had many collaborative scenes.

But at that time, he just thought that Gongsun Ce played by Chen Ping was okay, and there wasn't much that stood out.

did not expect……

Today on the set of Star Master, Chen Ping's performance was so outstanding.

You could even say, dazzling.

certainly.

The most surprising thing among them is Zhou Xingchi.

When Chen Ping auditioned last time, although Chen Ping could withstand his own aura.

But many Zhou Xingchi also felt that Chen Ping's performance at that time was a bit forced.

The reason why Zhou Xingchi still recognized Chen Ping was because of Chen Ping's thoughts at the time.

Seeing that he could not bear the pressure, Chen Ping took the initiative.

This made Zhou Xingchi's eyes light up.

In Zhou Xingchi's eyes, this is talent.

A talented actor, Zhou Xingchi didn't need to say anything, and the other party acted brilliantly.

For an actor without talent, even if Zhou Xingchi talks nonsense, it will be difficult for him to achieve his ideal state.

But now.

Not only was Chen Ping not affected by his own aura, but he also acted so naturally.

Even if you put aside the setting of the main and supporting characters, now you don't know whether Chen Ping is the protagonist or Zhou Xingchi is the protagonist.

Surprised and delighted, Zhou Xingchi increased the intensity of his performance and said: "Hahahaha, it's just that brother Zhu, you lose a few hundred taels every few days, and when you lose all, you come to call for help. You always do this." ---That’s not a solution, is it?”

Chen Ping didn't feel any pressure at all, but he still naturally made an expression that said you know me well, and replied: "I have insight. In view of this, I will sink the boat this time." I have lost everything I can lose in my life, a total of three hundred thousand taels, and I hope Brother Tang will draw thirty paintings for me so that I can pay off my debt and save my life!"

"Card……"

The first shot of Tang Bohu ends here.

The first shot is one shot to the end and one shot past.

Li Lichi was so excited that he called out the sound card.

"Chen Ping..."

Zhou Xingchi patted Chen Ping on the shoulder, said good things, and then turned and left.

The other actors looked at Chen Ping, dumbfounded.
