Huayu: Female celebrities are looking for treasures in me

Chapter 119: Shocking skills! Damn, the popular young actor is coming for me

"Director Jiang, you said you wanted to come to our crew to watch A-Li's final scene?"

Zhou Xun suspected that she was hallucinating. In her impression, Jiang Wen was not such an idle person.

"Yes, I'll come over now. Please tell the crew on the set."

Jiang Wen was ready to take action immediately, his face calm but his heart filled with anticipation.

That night at dinner, he had already tried Zhang Li's acting, which could be described as lifelike.

But being good at acting opposite others doesn’t mean you can perform well in front of the camera. This depends on many factors.

It just so happened that he had nothing to do today, and Zhang Li was about to shoot the final scene, so he decided to go and watch.

If it ends early, we can still talk about the script.

“It’s actually true”

Zhou Xun suppressed his surprise and smiled, "Director Jiang, you're here. Why do you need me to say hello? Just scan your face and come in."

It is impossible for anyone working in the film industry not to know Jiang Wen.

If so, then you are unqualified and not suitable for this circle.

"You should say hello, it's the rule."

Jiang Wen insisted that Zhou Xun help him talk about it.

He could have joined the cast of "The Whistleblower" just by using his good looks, but coming uninvited would have been annoying.

He went there as a "guest".

"Okay, I'll say hello to the stage manager and have my assistant wait at the door."

Zhou Xun only gave Jiang Wen a slight compliment and didn't really intend to do nothing for such a small thing.

This is a rare opportunity to show her face, and maybe it will give her a better chance of winning the role audition.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xun immediately went to his life assistant to give him a few words.

After the life assistant left, she turned her head and met Li Bingbing's gaze.

"Eavesdropping on other people's phone calls is not a good habit." Zhou Xun pointed out.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop." Li Bingbing raised his chin. "Someone's talking too loudly. This is my rest area."

Their eyes met, but Zhou Xun didn't hold on and poured himself a glass of red wine.

Li Bingbing saw this and said after a moment's hesitation, "Give me a glass."

Zhou Xun did not refuse. He took out a goblet, filled it with red wine and handed it over.

"How rare~"

Li Bingbing doesn't like drinking on the set.

"It's really rare." Li Bingbing had an inexplicable smile on his face.

The two of them were so used to being at loggerheads with each other that even they couldn't imagine drinking wine face to face.

When they were young, they were proactive and genuine in their confrontations, both for resources and for face.

But now that I’m older and have more experience, I’m more into acting.

"I have to thank my brother Ali."

"He's better than Xiao Ming."

Zhou Xun took a sip of red wine.

Li Bingbing understood what she meant. Huang Xiaoming looked like a good guy, but he actually had a lot on his mind and would not get involved when important matters arose. He was only suitable to be a bad friend and was not worthy of close friendship.

But Zhang Li really treated them as sisters. During the time they were together on the crew, she acted as a lubricant for many people to get along with each other, and reduced a lot of tension.

Such a charming brother that almost everyone likes to say good things about him.

It eased their relationship a lot.

"In this circle, most people wear masks, and they wear many of them."

“Sometimes, we can’t even recognize ourselves, let alone others.”

"A-Li, you do have a kind of charm that makes people feel genuine and unpretentious."

Li Bingbing also took a sip of his wine, then changed the subject: "From what Director Jiang said just now, A-Li plays an important role in Let the Bullets Fly."

It's just a small supporting role, not worth Jiang Wen coming to watch the live performance.

As for the male lead, Jiang Wen usually plays the role himself in his films, and most first-line stars are not qualified.

Even if Zhang Li is Jiang Wen’s biological son, it is impossible for him to be the leading actor!
"Yeah." Zhou Xun looked at Li Bingbing again and smiled inexplicably.

The news has now fallen to her, but it doesn't matter.

"It seems the rumors are true. The script for Let the Bullets Fly comes from Ali."

After saying this, Zhou Xun's heart was filled with turmoil.

"CJ7", "If You Are the One" and "Let the Bullets Fly".

Zhou Xingchi, Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen.

All three times he made moves, he was a big shot.

Moreover, they are all big guys with strong personal styles.

But Zhang Li can satisfy them. Zhou Xingchi and Feng Xiaogang have high standards.

Jiang Wen can be said to be even more demanding. After all, dozens of screenwriters have spent a year and a half trying to satisfy him.

As a result, Zhang Li wrote a version of his own and actually got Jiang Wen's approval.

I heard that the number of male protagonists has increased from one to three.

Ge Da Ge has already agreed to play one of them.

The investors are currently in talks with Hong Kong's Chow Yun-fat to have the movie have three male protagonists.

"This brother is really talented." Li Bingbing looked at Zhang Li who was putting on makeup not far away.

"If the age difference wasn't so big, you would have taken action, right?" Zhou Xun joked.

"Each other, each other~"

As for now, it’s better to be friends.

After more than ten minutes, Zhang Li finished her makeup.

He was taken to a room to perform his last scene in The Sound of Wind.

In the dark room, there was a bench inlaid with iron nails, emitting a cold light.

Zhang Li sat in front of a lamp with an embarrassed look on his face. Beside him were several spies and Wang Zhiwen's cold face.

When Jiang Wen arrived, he found that all the main creators of the crew were gathered in front of the monitor, ready to watch this scene.

The story of the movie "The Sound of Wind" takes place during the Anti-Japanese War in 1942.

The underground workers of the Red Party waged a brutal struggle against the Japanese invaders on the hidden front.

In a certain place, at the bandit suppression headquarters of the Wang Puppet regime, Xiao Rizi realized that there was a traitor among their own people, and it was very likely their long-time rival "Lao Gui", so they set up a trap to quickly identify five suspects.

The five people are Gu Xiaomeng (Zhou Xun), the administrative and receiving specialist of the headquarters, Wu Zhiguo (Zhang Hanyu), the bandit suppression captain, Bai Xiaonian (Zhang Li), the commander's aide-de-camp, Li Ningyu (Li Bingbing), the leader of the translation team, and Jin Shenghuo (Ying Da), the director of the Military Affairs Department.

In Xiao Rishi's life, the person who was fully responsible for uncovering the traitor was Takeda, the chief of the Secret Service of the Imperial Japanese Army, and the person who was responsible for assisting him was Wang Tianxiang (Wang Zhiwen), the chief of the Secret Service of the puppet army. These two people invited the five lizardmen to a bunker outside the city.

After the suspenseful exploration and reasoning in the early stages, the middle and late stages begin to use violence that seems more superficial but is more realistic in reality to force confessions.

The current scene is Bai Xiaonian being tortured, and it is also the beginning of the torture of five people.

The other four leading actors all wanted to watch it.

Don’t be outdone by the up-and-coming talents!
"Director Jiang!"

Seeing Jiang Wen coming, everyone hurried to greet her, including director Li Guofu.

"Let's watch this scene first." Jiang Wen said.

"Would you like to sit down?" Li Guofu pulled a stool.

Jiang Wen was a little hesitant. If it was his movie, he would naturally take the lead, but here it would be a bit too much to take the lead.

However, when he saw Zhang Li's eyes under surveillance, he immediately changed his mind.

He can also come to this scene.

"Exon!"

Jiang Wen's voice fell.

Under the dim light, Huang Xiaoming lit a cigarette and watched everything coldly.

Wang Zhiwen slammed the table, stood up and looked at Zhang Li, his eyes were fierce and sharp, which made people frightened.

Zhang Li, who was pressed on a stool by several people and deliberately ran several laps until his face was covered in sweat, began to tremble.

"It's not me, it's really not me~"

The trembling voice revealed boundless fear.

The panic in his eyes showed the fear of pain and death.

Wang Zhiwen came to Zhang Li with two pieces of paper, bent down slightly, and held them up to show him.

"Then please explain why your notes are so similar to Lao Gui's!"

The gentle tone and calm eyes seemed as if he was just talking about a very ordinary thing.

As his eyes swept across the two pieces of paper, Zhang Li's pupils suddenly shrank and his lips trembled.

The slight sniffing of his nose was a sign of extreme fear. "Why!?"

Wang Zhiwen put away the paper with no expression on his face.

The camera moved forward and focused on Huang Xiaoming's face with a bit of nonchalance.

Everyone knew that Zhang Li was being wronged and was the least likely "old ghost".

But no one cared. They just wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and Zhang Li was the innocent chicken.

"Someone wants to frame me!"

Zhang Li raised his head and explained with a hoarse voice.

"Definitely!"

"definitely!"

However, he didn't pay attention to his answer.

Wang Zhiwen suddenly took action, grabbed Zhang Li's collar, and dragged him all the way to the table where Huang Xiaoming was sitting.

"Sizzle, sizzle~"

The nail seats are so sharp that they make your teeth ache.

Zhang Li felt the approach of severe punishment.

He was terrified, he screamed, and fear was in every pore of his body.

He showed his weakness, but in the end he couldn't change anything.

He was still tortured and covered with bruises.

In this situation, they were dragged down and thrown into a pool of freezing water.

"Card!"

Jiang Wen's voice rang out.

This segment announced the end of filming.

"Director Li, you are too modest."

Jiang Wen stood up and smiled: "Everyone's performance is very good."

"Just call Aikson and Ka. There's no need for me to do this."

"Maybe it's because you, Director Jiang, are sitting in front of the monitor." Li Guofu smiled.

Zhou Xun and others: "."

I didn't expect that you, Old Li, who is usually honest, are also good at complimenting people.

Zhang Li, Wang Zhiwen and Huang Xiaoming came to the monitor.

"Uncle Jiang, why are you here?" Zhang Li showed a surprised expression. "When I heard your voice on the loudspeaker just now, I thought I misheard."

Everyone "."

We are also surprised by your name.

"I heard you were filming your final scene, so I came to see your performance." Jiang Wen's expression remained unchanged, and he replied calmly, "If you wrap up early, we can have a midnight snack together and talk later."

Zhang Li: “.”

It is because you cannot live without being crazy.

Jiang Wen's ability to produce works that are applauded by the public is largely due to his rigorous and dedicated attitude.

But there is no need to suffer together with them.

"Uncle Jiang, there's still a long time before the filming starts, so you should balance work and rest." Zhang Li wanted to give some advice.

"For me, now is leisure time. I won't get busy until the official filming starts." Jiang Wen waved his hand: "There is one last scene. When you finish, I will take you for a midnight snack."

"Let's forget about it today." Zhang Li's eyes swept across the faces of everyone around him.

"My role has finished filming, and I've already made an appointment with the senior teachers on the crew to have a midnight snack together. I'll treat you."

Everyone: "."

Is it really okay for you to use us as a raft?
But asking them to say, "Just go have a midnight snack with Director Jiang Wen" would seem too flattering.

"Then I'll come along." Jiang Wen looked indifferent.

He has long reached the level where he can do whatever he wants.

"Okay." Zhang Li sighed helplessly.

Everyone: "."

We wanted to treat Director Jiang Wen to a meal but we didn't even have the chance, and you actually looked down on us.

It's really a drought, a drought, and a flood.

"Is this what my brother meant by invisible pretense being the most deadly?" Zhou Xun whispered to Li Bingbing.

"I feel it." Li Bingbing nodded slightly.

"That scene just now was very good, there's no need to save a take." Li Guofu said at the right time: "Let's start shooting the last scene. Director Jiang Wen said he will direct it."

Jiang Wen did not refuse and sat down in front of the monitor again.

It was hard for him to refuse such a kind invitation.

Zhang Li finished her makeup first.

Taking advantage of this time, Huang Xiaoming and others came to Jiang Wen to show their faces.

By the way, let me make a subtle reference to "Let the Bullets Fly".

Jiang Wen is very good at Tai Chi.

I said whatever I could reveal, and didn’t say a single word about what I couldn’t reveal.

During this time, Zhou Xun remembered something and sent a message to his best friend.

After dozens of minutes, everyone switched to the bathroom in the bunker.

"Exon!"

In a cold room.

The commander came on stage slowly, whip in hand.

Hearing footsteps, Zhang Li reached out and grabbed the edge of the bathtub, struggling to raise his head from the freezing water.

Seeing the torn and bruised body, he trembled naturally, and his tone was desperate with extravagant hope: "Commander, Commander"

"Save me, I'm not a ghost!"

The voice was soft and pleading.

Anyone can hear the emotion in it.

At that moment, the commander was sure that he was innocent.

However, his eyes became fierce and he made a certain determination.

Although you are not a ghost, you know too much. That little day, you hinted that I should kill you.
"Crack~"

The commander cracked his whip.

Zhang Li used all his skills to act out this scene.

Amidst endless screams, pleas for mercy, and cries of pain
Zhang Li acted out the look of death.

He was beaten to death.

"it is good!"

Jiang Wen instinctively gave praise.

This affirmation is equivalent to shouting "cut".

There was a sudden burst of applause at the scene.

This scene is really good.

Zhang Li is sure to be nominated for Best Supporting Actor at major film festivals.

If nothing unexpected happens, you can win the award!
"I've really found a treasure." Jiang Wen's tone was filled with undisguised joy.

A few minutes later, Zhang Li changed into his regular clothes and the group went to a nearby place for a midnight snack.

Not long after we sat down, an unexpected person came.

The popular young actor, Chen Kun!
Everyone subconsciously looked at Zhou Xun, knowing that this person was most likely called by her.

"A guest is a guest, please come in, senior."

Zhang Li took the initiative to toast Chen Kun to express his welcome.

"Junior, I've long heard of your great name." Chen Kun was very polite.

There are no fools in this circle. The more famous you are, the more you understand.

Zhang Li is someone you should make friends with, but definitely not someone you should make enemies with.

This little incident did not affect everyone's interest in eating.
No wonder!
After three rounds of drinks, Chen Kun suddenly toasted Jiang Wen and said, "Do you dare to use an idol-like actor like me? Is there a role in the film that I can play?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.

Zhang Li almost choked on his wine.

This came at me.
