Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Looking at the young version of Master Xing in front of him, Li Xuechu felt slightly amused.  I remember that many movie fans in later generations have described Mr. Xing like this: I want to laugh when I see Mr. Xing¡¯s face. It seems that the other person will come out with some funny lines and actions in the movie at any time, as well as that iconic exaggerated laughter.  This is purely a conditioned reflex, just like a dog drooling when it hears a bell.  In his heyday, Xingye's influence has exceeded the scope of movies and radiated into real life, creating many second-rate movies invisibly.  In the variety shows at that time, many people imitated Master Xing's expressions, movements and even his voice vividly.  Of course, the voice actually belongs to Grouper, a voice actor who adds a lot to Zhou Xingxing's movie.  But in reality, Mr. Xing is actually a somewhat boring and even serious person, which is far from the image in the movie.  But this does not hinder Li Xuechu's love for Mr. Xing. Li Xuechu watches movies and cannot distinguish the difference between film and television works and reality.  "Xingzi, are you also interested in joining DreamWorks?" Zhou Xingxing twisted unnaturally: "I have loved acting since I was a child, and of course I want to join DreamWorks. Li Sheng, do you think I can do it? I know.  I don¡¯t have many roles to play, but I will work very hard.¡± Liu Jialing¡¯s smooth entry gave Zhou Xingxing a lot of confidence.  He didn't want to guess how the other party got in, as long as he knew that DreamWorks also accepted newcomers, that would be fine.  "Of course you have a chance." Li Xuechu smiled and said, "By the way, Xingzi, what kind of actors do you like?" Zhou Xingxing reported a list of names, most of which were movie stars that would be unfamiliar to future generations.  However, after coming to this era for several years, Li Xuechu finally had some understanding.  Basically they are all filming dramas.  "If you had to choose by yourself, what kind of movies would you like to make?" "Action movies, like Li Xiaolong's." Zhou Xingxing made several gestures of Li Xiaolong's signature moves.  He also imitated Li Xiaolong¡¯s iconic ¡®woo woo¡¯ sound.  Li Xuechu was instantly confused.  When I think about the scenes in Li Xiaolong's movie if Zhou Xingxing were to act in them, I feel a strong sense of dissonance.  But in fact, I just want Zhou Xingxing to film a drama.  Li Xuechu would feel uncomfortable.  The image of Master Xing in later generations is so deeply ingrained that it is difficult to transform.  Almost everyone, from producers to audiences, was opposed to his transformation.  If there is any improvement, it is better to seize the time and make more movies.  Zhou Xingxing himself had many concerns and finally gave up.  Li Xuechu also watched two of Zhou Xingxing¡¯s early movies. At that time, he felt like he had been cheated.  "Have you ever seen The Big Talker or The Impostor?" Li Xuechu asked tentatively.  "Of course, I have watched all DreamWorks movies." Zhou Xingxing did a lot of homework when he came here.  "Let's do this, you can just excerpt a few clips and perform them live." I have to say that Jim Carrey and Star Master's styles are quite close.  If the release of these movies is postponed for a few years, Li Xuechu will undoubtedly choose Xing Ye instead of Fa Ge and Wan Ziliang.  This request was quite sudden, but now that he had said it, Zhou Xingxing could only think about how to do it.  ¡°Let¡¯s do this, I¡¯ll give you half an hour. You can think about which part to act, and you can also find someone to familiarize yourself with the lines and script.¡± Li Xuechu called a clerk to help him.  "Thank you." Zhou Xingxing went out to prepare.  This sudden situation is somewhat similar to acting in a children's drama.  Li Xuechu smiled and watched him go out.  Mr. Xing is acting in a serious drama, and Li Xuechu can't accept it, so it's better to 'break him back' to the right path.  certainly.  If Zhou Xingxing is not satisfied with making comedies in the future, or wants to leave DreamWorks, then there is nothing he can do.  History becomes too much.  It has deviated somewhat from the familiar track of Li Xuechu.  Half an hour passed quickly, and Zhou Xingxing returned to the office and started his performance.  Zhou Xingxing acted in a scene from The King of Liar.  It's the part where the lawyer encourages the lady to demand the other party's property.  Zhou Xingxing performed very hard, but Li Xuechu was still a little disappointed.  Xingzi¡¯s style is far from being finalized.  Not to mention compared with later generations, compared with Fa Ge, he is also far behind.  Although it is a temporary performance, at least for now, there is still a long way to go.  The few minutes of performance passed quickly. Zhou Xingxing looked at Li Xuechu nervously. He had already noticed the slight frown on his face.  No more fun?  Li Xuechu is also in a bit of a dilemma. Although he is still the same person, but his experience has changed and sometimes his behavior is completely different. So how should he deal with him now?  "You'd better go back to hosting children's programs, and then come back as a bit player for a few more years"?  Then he will definitely have nothing to do with him in the future, and he might even be resented by others.  "Xingzai, are you interested in comedy?" &nbsp"I'm also willing to try comedy." Zhou Xingxing said hurriedly. He felt that he didn't have many opportunities and he had to seize every opportunity.  "Well, when you go back, study the comedy-themed movies carefully. Not only the local ones, but also those from other places can be used for reference." Li Xuechu said with a smile: "I will also introduce a few movies to you. After watching them  You can try other acting methods. "The nonsensical style of comedy was not fully formed in 1983, but some works have already been auditioned.  Not to mention the three comedies that Li Xuechu copied from later generations, David Zucker, the pioneer of nonsensical comedy, has already produced several works.  Although it will take another five years for the nonsensical film The Great Detective to come out, but it does not prevent us from drawing lessons from his earlier works.  David Zucker's works have had a profound impact on later generations of comedy.  Why are Stephen Chow and Jim Carrey so similar in style?  Because they all learned from this guy.  Or you can let them ¡®get to know each other¡¯ in advance.  It's a pity that this person is far from famous yet and lacks some convincing.  "Okay, I will study it carefully." Zhou Xingxing nodded quickly and agreed: "So, is my interview successful?" Xingzai carefully asked the question he was most concerned about.  "Well, I agree. You are welcome to join our Dream Factory." Li Xuechu said with a smile: "You may not be able to play the leading role in the first two years, but don't worry, the future is long." "Thank you, I will definitely work hard." Zhou Xingxing was overjoyed,  As for the protagonist, Zhou Xingxing doesn¡¯t have many ideas yet.  At least he knew that once he entered DreamWorks, his opportunities would obviously be many more than those of Wireless.  ¡°That¡¯s good, remember to focus more on comedy. What our company lacks most now is comedians.¡± Li Xuechu continued to brainwash uneasily.  "Okay, okay, thank you, Mr. Li." Zhou Xingxing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.  Li Xuechu smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll call the artist department and tell you that you can report now. Concentrate on your performance studies. I'm still very optimistic about you." Being optimistic is a must.  Who in future generations will not think highly of him?  Zhou Xingxing burst into tears of gratitude: "I won't let you down." "I don't believe it either. Okay, let's go and report." Xingzai ran to sign the contract with excitement on his face, without even asking about the treatment.  Nowadays, Xingzi is very easy to be satisfied. As long as he has a movie to shoot, he can do whatever else he likes.  Oriental DreamWorks has just added another contracted artist, and Li Xuechu is very satisfied. Although the company does not have many artists, it has a solid all-star lineup.  It's a pity that Wei Tsai didn't come, but there's no need to rush. Let Wireless take care of it for a few more years. There will be many opportunities in the future.  ¡­ ¡­ Zhang Xudong was a little depressed.  "Another rookie has been signed." Zhang Xudong, who was a newcomer before, consciously understood the boss's intentions.  Isn¡¯t that what it means?  Everyone likes beautiful women, and every boss will do something like this to some extent, which is not surprising.  But now this is somewhat incomprehensible. There are so many big names who want to join DreamWorks. If we want to take a turn, when will we get one like this?  Even if you have unlimited potential, it doesn¡¯t make sense because a lot of talented artists still can¡¯t get in.  Forget it, I don¡¯t want to anymore.  Anyway, DreamWorks is in short supply of people, no matter how new they are, we just don¡¯t know when the boss will recruit people on a large scale and everyone is waiting.  "By the way, Xingzi, have you known our Mr. Li before?" Zhou Xingxing was stunned: "Yes, we met while shopping a few days ago. We even had a meal?" "Just met while shopping?" Zhang Xudong  Big surprise.  "I used to know him, but he didn't know me." I went shopping and met a new guy, Xiaobai, and then I invited him in.  The boss's behavior is really weird!  Zhang Xudong can¡¯t understand.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
