The Rebirth of the Internet Celebrity Godfather

Chapter 314 I’m really not here to steal the show

"He's much more handsome in person than in the video!"

Wang Baoqiang happily patted Cheng Yi on the shoulder. His makeup had not yet been removed, and a big gold tooth sparkled in the sun, dazzling his eyes.

"Come, follow me to meet the director. When you meet, just call Director Chen. Don't be nervous. Director Chen is my brother!"

"Okay, thank you, Brother Baoqiang." Cheng Yi followed suit.

Seeing that the leading actor Wang Baoqiang valued Cheng Yi so much, Carroll completely believed Cheng Yi's words.

Many actors present also looked at Cheng Yi with various eyes. Those who have never seen Cheng Yi's video don't know who this person is. Wang Baoqiang needs to greet him personally.

"Brother Chen, the little brother is here, take a look."

Chen Sicheng was sitting on a small horse and reading the script. When he heard Wang Baoqiang's words, he turned his head and saw Cheng Yi, with a pair of eyes full of careful attention.

Cheng Yi was neither humble nor arrogant, with a sunny and warm smile on his face, and said: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Director Chen. I like your characters and works very much."

"Yeah." Chen Sicheng nodded lightly, then asked his assistant for a copy of the script, handed it to Cheng Yi, and said, "The role assigned to you is Wang Xun's younger brother, and several of your scenes are chase scenes.

You go back and study the script and start shooting in the afternoon."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Remember not to leak the script."

Cheng Yi nodded: "Okay, Director Chen."

Chen Sicheng then ordered Carol: "Carol, help him check in and take him to have a meal at noon."

Carroll made an "OK" gesture to Chen Sicheng. After explaining, Chen Sicheng called Liu Haoran and told him about the play, but left Cheng Yi alone.

Seeing this, Cheng Yi did not disturb him and signaled Carol to stop being stunned and go and check in. Cheng Guanxi was still carrying his luggage.

After just a few steps, Wang Baoqiang caught up with him and said, "Brother Cheng, don't mind. Director Chen's attitude towards everyone is the same."

Cheng Yi waved his hand and said, "Brother Baoqiang, don't worry, I don't mind."

In other words, there is nothing to mind. There is no respect for no reason in the world, and there is no closeness for no reason.

Chen Sicheng's attitude is normal, but it is extremely rare for Wang Baoqiang to treat him like this because of a video.

For example, if a small walk-on character appears in a few scenes, under normal circumstances, the chief director will not even look at him, let alone ask where the walk-on actor lives and what he eats.

Chen Sicheng's personal arrangements can be regarded as giving Cheng Yi face.

The same goes for Cheng Yi. He has no desire or desire for Chen Sicheng and will not deliberately curry favor with him. He will complete the task, finish the filming and leave.

Therefore, he has a good attitude and does not feel left out.

"Okay, then I'm relieved. After a few days of contact, you'll find that Director Chen is a very loyal and trustworthy person."

"Okay, Brother Baoqiang, I'm going to the hotel first. See you in the afternoon."

Under the leadership of Carroll, Cheng Yi and Cheng Guanxi checked in and went to eat the long-famous General Tso's Chicken at noon. The result was a big disappointment.

Cheng Yi is even more convinced of a truth:

The most important reason for any dish that fails to become popular in China is that it is unpalatable.

Shooting outdoor scenes in the afternoon, Cheng Yi rushed to the crew early and changed into costumes:

The inside is white lining, and the outside is a black Tang suit with black top and bottom, with a dragon embroidered on the left chest.

This is Wang Xun’s younger brother’s standard clothing.

The plot shot in the afternoon was as follows:

Liu Haoran and Wang Baoqiang found the key figure played by Xiao Yang: Song Yi. They originally thought that Song Yi was the murderer in the serial murder case, but they did not expect that Qin Feng, played by Liu Haoran, discovered that Song Yi was not the murderer.

However, in order to solve the case as soon as possible and inherit the old man's family property, the heir played by Wang Xun wanted to make this case a murder case, kill Xiao Yang, and directly pin the murderer's hat on Xiao Yang's head, so that there would be no evidence to prove it.

In order to find out the truth, Liu Haoran and Wang Baoqiang decided to stop Wang Xun and protect Xiao Yang, so they staged a chase battle on the streets of Mai Country.

Cheng Yi plays the third younger brother under Wang Xun. The first and second younger brothers also have a lot of roles, comparable to Wang Xun. One of the actors is familiar to everyone, Xiu Nian from Shy Iron Fist, Xihong

The most intelligent man among the richest men in the city, one of the most talented young men in the world.

The scene in the afternoon was about running around, and Cheng Yi performed very hard. Perhaps because he often shoots videos, his performance in front of the camera is very natural.

"CUT!" Chen Sicheng slapped the board and shouted, "Yang Jinci, Cheng Yi, you two come here."

"Hey, director, did I do something wrong in my acting?" Yang Jinci trotted all the way in fear. He played the role of Wang Xun's second-in-command.

Chen Sicheng said: "You performed well, but there is one scene, which is the part where Michael Jackson dances. You can teach Cheng Yi and let him perform that part."

"Me?" Cheng Yi pointed at himself.

Chen Sicheng said: "Yes, your camera skills are good and your image is photogenic. I can give you more scenes."

Yang Jinci grimaced and begged: "Director Chen, I have been practicing that dance for a long time. You can't just give it to others just because you want it."

Chen Sicheng raised his eyes: "Oh? Otherwise, you can take the director's position and tell me how to shoot it?"

Although he was not angry, his cold tone still made people's hearts tremble, and the air in the scene was stagnant and filled with low pressure.

The actor who plays Xiunian, bah! Wang Chengsi, who plays Number One Ma Tsai, pulled Yang Jinci’s clothes and signaled him to quickly surrender to the director.

A look of reluctance flashed across Yang Jinci's face, but the situation was stronger than others, and he finally said angrily: "Director Chen, I'm sorry, it was my fault. I will teach Cheng Yi now."

As soon as he said these words, the scene was filled with sadness. Everyone present was an actor, and no one understood this feeling.

It's hard to star in a big production. It's even harder to play a character with a face and lines in a big production, and it's even harder to have a standout scene that can be remembered by the audience.

This clip that Chen Sicheng asked Yang Jinci to give to Cheng Yi is a very brilliant and hilarious scene in "Detective Chinatown 2":

The number two horse boy played by Yang Jinci was kicked in the crotch, covering his crotch, padding his feet, and walking with his butt between his legs. At this time, a passerby's car was playing Michael Jackson's music. From the perspective of the passerby, Yang Jinci performed

A Michael Jackson dance show.

No one is willing to leave such a role to others.

But when faced with Yang Jinci's choice, all the actors present understood it very well. In China, directors are unique on the set. They have all experienced actors like Cheng Yi who are parachuted in.

Even Wang Baoqiang, even Xiao Yang, even first- and second-tier stars like Liu Haoran were robbed of their roles by resource actors when they were little-known, not to mention many young actors present. Being robbed of their roles has become a common occurrence.

Except for a few actors such as Wang Baoqiang, most people present felt more or less ill feelings toward Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi is a master at reading the air, so he naturally felt that many eyes were on him, and he also made his purpose clear. He was just here to have fun, not to offend others. There was no need to steal others for a few more shots.

road.

He had already eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it would be unethical to snatch someone else's steamed buns. Cheng Yi couldn't do such a thing.

But it would not be a problem to bluntly refuse Chen Sicheng. Chen Sicheng had already tried his best to help him rise to the position. If he refused, he would be ignorant of promotion.

With his mind spinning, Cheng Yi thought of a way.
