- Taking Zhong Chuhong as an example was to encourage Wang Zuxian to correct his mentality. Zhou Wen did not expect that she would directly ask for the Best Actress Award. Zhou Wen was dumbfounded for a moment and almost failed to keep up with Wang Zuxian's jumping nerves.
"Good guy, you are too impatient. Not just anyone can become the best actress. At the very least, you must first produce a masterpiece that will be recognized by the judges and the audience." Zhou Wen tried his best not to criticize Wang Zuxian. He said: "Now your task is to carefully figure out the character of the character. First, you can play the role of Bai Su well. After returning to Hong Kong, you will be fully prepared to compete with Xiao Qian. As long as Xiao Qian is a big success, we will discuss the matter of competing for the best actress."
"That's what you said!" Wang Zuxian bent his little finger and said, "It's a promise, and whoever goes back on it is the puppy's fault!"
¡°It¡¯s this kid¡¯s trick again.¡± Zhou Wen reluctantly hooked up with her.
Wang Zuxian's mood improved and he said while drinking beer: "Brother Wen, is that sketch a photo of me with my final makeup? Why does it feel like it's completely different from my style? The gap is too big, right?"
Zhou Wen nodded and said: "Well, this is your final makeup photo. I planned to let you wear it for the audition after arriving in Hong Kong. Since you have seen it now, I might as well tell you some precautions in advance."
Zhou Wen sorted out his thoughts and said: "To be honest, your current acting skills are not very satisfactory to me. Don't misunderstand me. What I mean is that if you want to play Xiaoqian to win the hearts of the people, The audience agrees that it must be integrated into the story. Remember the course of learning Peking Opera last year, right?"
Wang Zuxian nodded slightly, when he was filming "Dao Ma Dan" last year. Zhou Wen specially asked her to learn Peking Opera stage performances with Lin Qingxia and Ye Can for about a month. Among them, Zhou Wen especially emphasized that she should learn the basic skill of "sleeve swinging" as boring as possible.
"If you study hard, these two sets of costumes customized for you can basically produce special visual effects." Zhou Wen took two more makeup pictures. Xiaoqian has more than three sets of costumes in the film, mainly The main colors are white and bright red, which create a very sharp visual contrast.
Next, Zhou Wen used his sharp tongue to describe Wang Zuxian's drama shot by shot. Narrating the drama is a test of the director's skills in scripts, characters, and shots. Some directors are good at writing scripts but not good at taking pictures, and some directors are good at adding drama on the spot, but every successful director will communicate the script with the actors. This is called dramatization in the circle. If you are a director, you are not as good as an actor in understanding the characters and plot. You understand, after turning on the camera, you don¡¯t want the other party to be obedient. The other party may play tricks on you, making your directing process quite painful.
Zhou Wen doesn¡¯t have this trouble because he wrote the script. He knows the plot, shots and characters better than anyone else, not to mention he is a time traveler. After watching these classics over and over again, I naturally know where and how to shoot.
Some classic parts cannot be modified at will, and the content of the film produced by each director's different ideas is completely inappropriate. Just like Zhou Wen's action settings for "A Better Tomorrow" are extremely fierce, and the gun battles are the icing on the cake for the fist fights in the entire film. . Even women's dramas such as "Swordsman" can become strong and iron-clad under Zhou Wen's action design, making Lin Qingxia's character deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not to mention the action design of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Zhou Wen did not modify Wang Zuxian's literary opera, but added her martial arts, making the literary opera and martial arts complement each other. Of course, we can't expect her to show off her talents on the screen like Yeung Tse-qiong or Zhou Caier. After all, those are not the selling points of "A Chinese Ghost Story". The martial arts scenes in the film are just the icing on the cake, highlighting Xiaoqian's resolute character in pursuing love.
The two talked in the room for a full hour. Wang Zuxian felt her head was as big as a bell. She never thought that a simple female ghost character would have such complicated precautions.
Looking at Wang Zuxian who looked confused, Zhou Wen smiled. "How is it? Can you perform well? If not, I have to consider replacing you!"
Wang Zuxian pouted unconvinced and said: "Huh, I have to decide on Xiaoqian's role. I will fight whoever takes it for me! Just wait, I will definitely play Xiaoqian well until you are satisfied!" "
Wang Zuxian is really serious about it. Since entering the Hong Kong entertainment industry, this is the first time she has treated a role with 100% of her energy, and she has never experienced a costume film. There are many reasons that can make her excited. On the one hand, she wants to prove her worth and prove that Wang Zuxian is not a flower vase and that she can also perform a role that satisfies Zhou Wen. On the other hand, it is the stimulation from Zhong Chuhong, because Zhou Wen The women around her are each better than the other, and she must work hard to win Zhou Wen's favor.
Zhou Wen doesn¡¯t know what Wang Zuxian is thinking. He is just responsible for the director¡¯s duties and tries his best to help Wang Zuxian with her thoughts, so that she can maintain the most energetic state and devote herself to the filming. Anyway, "The Legend of Wesley" is currentlyWith less than a few days left before filming is completed, as soon as he returns to Hong Kong, he will devote all his energy to the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Zhou Wenshun followed Wang Zuxian's topic and continued to encourage: "Okay, I'm looking forward to this day. I hope you won't complain during the filming. I will ask you very seriously."
"If I cry out in pain, I won't be named Wang, huh~" Wang Zuxian made a face and said slyly: "I wonder if there is any reward for completing your task well?"
Zhou Wen smiled and said: "You can get any reward you want!" This girl is really childish and even made terms with herself.
"Any reward!" Wang Zuxian emphasized: "Okay, I will remember it! If you have any extra scripts here, I will take them back and study them."
¡°You take this one and read it first, remember not to mess it up.¡± Zhou Wen picked up a storyboard script and handed it over.
After Wang Zuxian took it over, he took the makeup photos in his hand and said, "I'll take these makeup photos too."
"It's up to you." Zhou Wen shrugged indifferently. Anyway, Xiaoqian's appearance was imprinted in his mind. The makeup photo was to help the actor establish a certain impression and guide the direction.
"Hehe, if nothing happens, I'll go back and read the script." Wang Zuxian got what he wanted and used tricks to get a promise. There was no point in staying any longer. Holding the script, he was about to leave. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Zhou Wen say: "Hey, it's already past one in the morning. Why are you reading the script? Tomorrow is the most critical final scene, so you should go to bed early!"
"I know! What a verbose guy~" Wang Zuxian made a face at Zhou Wen again when he closed the door.
In mid-March 1987, Zhou Wen and his team finished their location shooting in Egypt and returned to Hong Kong to prepare for post-production. When they got off the plane, they were greeted personally by Boss Lei.
"Awen, thank you for your hard work! The trip to Egypt went smoothly."
"It went very smoothly, beyond my imagination. Haha, thanks to Brother Tuokun, I also got to experience the Egyptian style." Zhou Wen said with a smile.
"We scheduled a ten-day shooting plan, and you only spent eight days to finish it. There is no extra time to play. After the movie is released, we will have a good vacation like last time." Boss Lei said very generously.
"Haha. Thank you Brother Kun for your kindness, but I feel that this agreement may be delayed for a long time. My workload this year is really too heavy." Zhou Wen laughed and said: "How about this, Brother Kun, please wait until I finish my work, and I will do it then. Donghui invites you."
Boss Lei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said happily: "Okay, it's settled happily. By the way, am I the first person in Hong Kong to be invited by you to travel around the world?"
"Brother Kun, you are definitely the first!" Zhong Chuhong said from the side: "I asked Awen to invite me to travel before, but he refused because he didn't have time. It turns out that my reputation is not as good as Brother Kun's."
Boss Lei said: "Honggu, you can't say that. It's better for a man to be busy. Only when he is busy can he have money to spend for you. If I was as capable as Awen when I was young, I would definitely be busy all over the world. You You have to understand him.¡±
"What you men say is what you say." Zhong Chuhong laughed, then took Wang Zuxian's little hand and said: "Oh. Xiaoxian, you are tanned. Isn't filming in Egypt particularly hard? Didn't Awen take good care of you? ?¡±
"How can I get a tan? Brother Wen takes good care of me"
The crew of "The Legend of Wesley" returns to Hong Kong. Boss Lei had to arrange a cleanup. At the banquet, Boss Lei praised all the crew for a long time, and even put aside his identity to toast the grassroots staff. Those who made the fuss were flattered, and the atmosphere was quite warm.
The party ended after drinking until midnight. After returning home, Zhou Wen was not in a hurry to go to bed. Instead, he stayed in front of the phone and waited for news.
The reason why he accelerated the filming schedule and returned to Hong Kong is because tonight is a critical day. "Boxer" will be released in 50 theaters in North America. The box office results of the day will be calculated in two hours. The North American theater chain will decide whether to add more theaters based on the box office results. line count and screen time.
In terms of release, there are still big differences between Hollywood and Hong Kong. The first is the difference in the number of theater lines. Hong Kong currently has 13 theater lines. In addition to the three giants of Golden Harvest, Debao, and Golden Princess, there are also Xinbao, Ocean Shipping/ Pearl, Lee Theater/Broadway, Pan Asia, Kyoto/Chinachem, Nam Wah/UA, Nikkatsu, Guohua, ** and other theaters, among which the four theaters of Golden Harvest, Debao, Golden Princess, and Xinbao mainly screen Hong Kong films , other theaters are small in scale and show Western films, and they do not have any offensive power in terms of market share. Otherwise, Boss Lei would not have bothered to integrate the Golden Princess Cinemas, which screened Western films.
Although there are 13 cinema lines in Hong Kong, the total number of cinemas is only a pitiful 200 or so. This is due to the geographical size of Hong Kong. On the contrary, HollywoodHowever, the number of cinema chains in ?? is more than ten times that of Hong Kong, and the total number of cinemas is as many as 3,000, which is 15 times that of the Hong Kong General Administration.
After Zhang Jiazhen's efforts, "Boxer" was only released in 50 theaters, which is enough to show that Hollywood does not pay enough attention to Hong Kong movies. Moreover, Chow's company is still a small company that has just been established less than a year ago. The other party's ability to provide 50 theaters is entirely due to Zhang Jiazhen. network support.
Zhong Chuhong brought out a bowl of hangover soup from the kitchen, walked up to Zhou Wen and said with concern: "Awen, you've been on a plane all day and drank a lot at night. Go and have a rest. I'll wait for the call."
Zhou Wen took the sobering soup and drank it, wiped the corners of his lips and said, "It's okay. I'm in a good state now. I won't feel at ease until I wait for the result, and I won't be able to sleep."
"Okay, I'll wait with you." Zhong Chuhong sat next to Zhou Wen and massaged him to relax while saying: "After the nomination list for the Academy Awards came out, the mood of the company was very stable. Cai'er and the others were training Your class performance has been very good and I haven¡¯t caused you any trouble. However, there have been a lot of interviews with new people in the company in the past few days. It seems that the advertising effect brought by the nomination is still very strong. Sister Shao Hua has complained to me more than once."
"What does she blame you for?" Zhou Wen asked curiously.
"Of course she is complaining that our Zhou family is grabbing tb's business. Since last year's "Dance My Life" was successfully held, she has been responsible for the second phase of the event. Now she is conducting a publicity campaign with great fanfare. As a result, there was no one on the day of registration. When people inquire, they all come to our Zhou family. It¡¯s strange that she¡¯s not angry.¡± Zhong Chuhong said with a smile.
Zhou Wen said in astonishment: "This uh, the second session is held so early? It seems that the students have just started school."
Zhong Chuhong said: "This year tb has adapted its strategy and decided to implement the auditions in major schools, cancel the previous regional system, and finally conduct the final competition on campus. I heard that this is the decision of the board of directors. The specific reasons I don¡¯t know, but it was her person in charge who didn¡¯t do things very well.¡±
"Hey, why did such a good event change in tb's hands?" Zhou Wen was speechless. He planned the "Dance My Life" hip-hop audition. Although the original intention of creating it at the time was to build momentum and make hip-hop become a It is a cultural product accepted by young people in Hong Kong, but if tb restricts it to campus, it will basically pick the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon. The gain outweighs the loss. After all, hip-hop should be popularized and accepted by the public.
"That's what I said, but Shao Hua also has his own difficulties." Zhong Chuhong sighed and said, "Maybe she will come back to you tomorrow to discuss countermeasures and see if the passive situation can be restored."
"It would be a good thing if she doesn't come to investigate." Zhou Wen said with a wry smile: "In the worst case, we can cooperate with tb to hold a campus street dance competition, and by the way, we will film another series of "Love Enemies"."
"What, you want to use this film to compete with Debao for Hollywood share?" Zhong Chuhong asked in surprise when he heard this.
"It is difficult for pure Hong Kong films to win the favor of Hollywood. Street dance films are not like kung fu films. If you want to compete with Debao, you must cooperate with Hollywood. Both parties must have actors and production teams." Zhou Wen said solemnly: "As for Whether we can pry open the door to Hollywood will have to wait for tonight¡¯s call to find out.¡±
If "The Fighter" does well in North America, then Zhou Wen's journey to Hollywood will be off to a good start.
Time passed by minute by minute, and at around four o'clock in the morning, the phone finally rang. Zhou Wen, who had been waiting for a long time, picked up the phone with one hand
