Entertainment: The Road to an Actor Starting from a Villain

"Liu Tianwang personally came to pick up the plane! This is enough face!"

Director Liu next to Zhou Chen looked extremely surprised.

Although Zhou Chen is now the film king, he is still far from a star like Liu Tianwang.

You know, Liu Tianwang is at the national level, and there are very few people in China who don't know him.

The king of heaven greeted him, this treatment can be said to be quite big.

Zhou Chen walked forward quickly, and gave Liu Tianwang a big hug.

"Brother Hua, long time no see!"

"It hasn't been long, less than a month."

Liu Tianwang is famous for his high character and good temper.

His connections are well-known throughout the Xiangjiang film industry.

Of course, there is a price for this. In order to maintain his connections, Liu Tianwang has taken on a lot of bad scenes.

But these things had little effect on him.

There are bad scenes, but there are no bad characters.

Liu Tianwang brought Zhou Chen, Director Liu and others behind him into the car.

"Zhou Chen, it's already late today, I'll take you to rest first! You may officially join the crew to start filming tomorrow, and I'll take you to see the director then."

There are two directors of "Infernal Affairs", Liu Weiqiang and Mak Fai.

These two are also well-known figures in the Xiangjiang film industry. If you can get to know them, it will be very beneficial to Zhou Chen's future development in the Xiangjiang film industry.

Along the way, Liu Tianwang was introducing the movie "Infernal Affairs" to Zhou Chen.

In fact, he doesn't know much, he only knows that this is a gangster movie, and Liu Jianming, who he plays, finds evidence that the big villain Han Chen is committing a crime.

In fact, Liu Tianwang has never seen the complete script until now, only a few pieces of paper each time.

When Zhou Chen heard this, he was already muttering in his heart.

"I haven't even seen the script? How can I play this?"

Acting is not something you can do right away, you need to make some preparations.

This includes psychological construction, action design, and line design.

This is why many actors will play against each other before shooting, which is equivalent to rehearsing in advance.

Anyway, it is a more complicated process!

If there is not enough time to prepare, wouldn't it be a rush to shoot when the time comes.

Of course, good actors can perform on the spot.

Liu Tianwang and Liang Zhiwei in the crew of "Infernal Affairs" all have this kind of strength.

But if you want to present a good performance, it is impossible to just act on the spot.

Director Liu on the side explained:

"In fact, this is a relatively common phenomenon in Xiangjiang. In the past, Xiangjiang shot a movie very quickly. Sometimes the movie is already finalized before the script is written."

"In order to be able to shoot quickly, the screenwriters write and shoot at the same time."

There are even some movies without scripts.

For example, "Gunfire" directed by Du Qifeng took [-] days to complete the filming and production.

Or Liu Weiqiang's "Young and Dangerous", which took only seven days to shoot and only [-] days to post-production.

The most exaggerated thing is that the movie "The Feast of a Rich Family" was filmed in only four days for fundraising!

This is the speed!
If Zhou Chen wants to cooperate with director Xiangjiang in the future, he must adapt to their extremely high efficiency.

After hearing this, Zhou Chen fell into deep thought.

In fact, whether a movie is good or bad has nothing to do with the shooting time.

A movie can become a classic in a short shooting time, which shows that all aspects of the movie are very smooth and completed in one go!
Zhou Chen couldn't help asking:
"Brother Hua, how long do you expect to shoot this movie?"

Liu Tianwang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, thought for a while.

"According to director Liu Weiqiang's style, the shooting time of this film will not exceed 20 days!"

20 days a movie!
This may be unimaginable in the Mainland.

Even before Zhou Chen and Peng Fa co-produced "Chasing the Murderer" it took nearly four months.

Such a short period of time is indeed no small test for actors!
The more this happened, the more excited Zhou Chen was. Only such a challenging role could give him the desire to perform.

In fact, there is one thing Liu Tianwang hasn't said yet, that is, there are basically only 20 days of shooting time, but they basically only shoot for two or three hours a day.

In other words, within forty or fifty hours, they can make a movie.

If it were a different movie, these forty or fifty hours would not be enough material for a scene!

After a while, Zhou Chen arrived at the hotel. The first thing he did was not to rest, but to meet the director Liu Weiqiang!
Liu Weiqiang is a somewhat elegant middle-aged man with glasses. When Zhou Chen came in, he sat quietly on the sofa to rest.

Liu Weiqiang is also quite a legendary figure in the Xiangjiang film industry.

In the early years, he worked as a photographer. At first, he was a photographer, the kind of role that helped photographers do odd jobs.

Later, he gradually became a formal photographer, probably because of this experience, which made him pay special attention to the presentation of images.

Liu Weiqiang became famous for the first time as a photographer in Sunglasses King's "Carmen in Mong Kok", and was nominated for Best Photographer at the Academy Awards.

Later, he turned around and became a director, dedicating countless classic works to the audience.

"[-] Million Detectives", "Young and Dangerous", and "The Wind and Cloud" are all his works.

By the way, there is also "Initial"!That is the movie of Mercedes-Benz Natsuki.

He shoots a lot of themes, basically without a set pattern.

No matter what subject he shoots, he can get a good box office.

Seeing Zhou Chen coming in, he slowly stood up.

Liu Tianwang quickly introduced to the side:
"Director Liu, this is the Zhou Chen I mentioned earlier!"

The reason why he wanted to follow up was to lubricate the relationship between the two of them.

After all, it was the first time we met, so it was bound to be embarrassing.

A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Liu Weiqiang's mouth, and said:
"If you're not tired now, we can discuss the script."

"of course can!"

Zhou Chen has no reason to reject such a senior director's proposal.

In fact, he still doesn't know what role he will play.

Liu Weiqiang handed Zhou Chen a script very directly.

"Look at it first, this is your part of the script."

Liu Tianwang looked at the script and said repeatedly:
"Zhou Chen is very lucky. He was able to get the complete script on the first day."

He has acted for so many days without seeing the complete script.

Sometimes, comparing people to others is just pissing people off.

Liu Weiqiang also understood what Liu Tianwang meant, and said with a smile:

"I have a complete script here, do you want to read it?"

As he spoke, he took out a script from the briefcase beside him and handed it out.

"Would you like it? Just take a look!"

"It's just that after seeing this, it may not be easy to act in the future!"
