reshape life

In the 11th year of the Republic of China, it was midsummer.

It was night, cool as water, with a full moon hanging high in the sky.The night is deep, and the vast night sky contains the drunken and golden fans of Shiliyangchang. The women in cheongsams with heavy makeup stand in front of Paramount, and the gentlemen in suits and leather shoes come and go in rickshaws and classic cars. At the end of the street is the most famous gold selling cave in Shanghai.

Just returned from studying in country Y, Xu Kerong, one of the male protagonists played by Rongxiu, was dragged to Paramount under the best efforts of his friend A Sheng (played by Lu Heng).Unexpectedly, when the two arrived at Paramount, they happened to meet the gambling god Qiao Yubai (played by Zhou Hong) who came to visit his confidante, and was maliciously provoked by another gambling master. In order to protect his confidante, Qiao Yubai had to agree For the challenge, play a game of cards upstairs in Paramount.And because there were not enough players in the game, Xu Kerong and his friend A Sheng also volunteered to sit at the gambling table.The final outcome is naturally that Qiao Yubai wins the opponent completely. However, during the filming process, Zhou Hong, who played the gambling god Qiao Yubai, once again raised objections to the plot of the script.

"...I think the main purpose of this scene is to let the audience get a general understanding of the background of the film and the role settings of the three leading men when the three leading men appear on the stage. Among them, since Qiao Yubai appeared as the God of Gamblers , Then when playing cards, can we add some more unique moves to him to distinguish God of Gamblers from the other two male protagonists? Also, in the script setting, Xu Harong, played by Rongxiu, came back from studying in Y country The foreign student played by Lu Heng is a young master born and bred in Shanghai. The setting of these two personalities also determines that they should have different habits when playing cards. I think we should invite a consultant to guide them. Let’s take a look at the action of gambling, how can we reflect the character of the characters and the direction of the main line from the professional plot..."

Director Du Jiexi, who was sitting in front of the monitor, sighed silently, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the chief screenwriter Wen Zaidao who was sitting beside him.

On the set, Zhou Hong, who had a sudden inspiration, had already pulled Rong Xiu and Lu Heng to discuss with great interest "what kind of movements and card playing methods should be used to better distinguish the two roles of the overseas student and the indigenous young master." , did not notice the emotions of director Du Jiexi and screenwriter Wen Zaidao at all.

Or Zhou Hong noticed it, but didn't care.

Lu Heng, who was cooperating with Zhou Hong for the first time, blinked his eyes thoughtfully.As the most powerful star of the new generation in the Chinese film industry in recent years, Lu Heng had to admit that he felt tremendous pressure during the cooperation with Zhou Yingdi, who had long been promoted to the altar.This kind of pressure was not brought to him deliberately by Zhou Hong, but the domineering side leaked and arbitrarily revealed inadvertently during the filming process.

In the past, when Lu Heng chatted and gossiped with his friends in the circle, or watched the entertainment news in secret, he could always hear that so-and-so had a particularly strong aura when filming, which could make people trembling to the point of suffocation.However, counting the years of filming in two lifetimes, Lu Heng has basically never encountered such a situation.

It wasn't until this cooperation with actor Zhou Hong that Lu Heng completely felt what it means to be "overwhelming domineering leak".The deepest feeling is that many times there is no way to play the scene at all. Although the lines and emotions can be expressed according to the flow, but compared with Zhou Hongyi on the monitor, it immediately shows the kind of weakness of "not being able to connect to the scene".This feeling is strongest when the three of them appear on camera at the same time.

Since his rebirth, Lu Heng has won professional awards one after another with his experience and hard work, and his acting skills are also improving day by day. Lu Heng, who is quite strong, feels uncomfortable, but also constantly adjusts his state, trying to keep up with the other two actor as soon as possible.

In addition, what made Lu Heng feel uncomfortable was Zhou Hong's habit of changing scenes frequently when he was on the set.Unlike most actors who like to temporarily ask for additions and changes on the set, Lu Heng has been a relatively easy person to get along with since his debut.This kind of "easy to get along with" is specifically manifested in the fact that he will seriously figure out how to interpret the role and strive to meet the director's requirements. Even if he occasionally has a suggestion for the script, he will only discuss it with the director in a tactful manner. It is best if the director can adopt his suggestion. If it's really not possible, Lu Heng will follow the director's request.

But Zhou Hong's personality is completely opposite to Lu Heng's.Although during the rest time between filming, the actor Zhou Hong has always been a "big brother" who can take jokes, has a grand personality, and is elegant and elegant, but in the camera, Zhou Hong is definitely the emperor of the set. The scene has absolute dominance.Lu Heng even heard a gossip that before accepting the script, Zhou Hong usually negotiated with the crew and the producer, requiring the crew to shoot according to his ideas. will not answer.

As an actor who also cherishes feathers, Lu Heng actually understands Zhou Hong's attitude towards the film very well.After all, actor Zhou Hong has long been promoted to the altar by the domestic film industry. He is not short of money if he is famous, and he doesn't want to disappoint the fans and be bad-mouthed by the media due to random filming, so he can only be cautious and use the most stringent Treat every character in every movie with an attitude.It's just that Zhou Hong's attitude on the set is so sharp that Lu Heng has noticed that Director Du Jiexi has been struggling several times when he is on the verge of being robbed of his right to speak in just a few days.

Just like the scene just now, actor Zhou Hong was dissatisfied with the lack of perfect textual research in the script, so he suggested that the crew hire two expert consultants to re-edit this silly scene. Director Du Jiexi, who was sitting in front of the monitor, had to take a deep breath three or four times. Cai said stiffly: "Actor Zhou, I understand your strict requirements on yourself and your pursuit of excellence in the script. As a director, I also hope that the works I make are perfect and can stand scrutiny, but we must I admit that "Fengyue Casino" is just a Lunar New Year comedy. The cost budget given by the producer and investors is limited. We really don't have the funds to hire special consultants to adapt this joke. Otherwise, let's sit down Discuss together, work together, and see how to perform this child's play, in order to achieve the best effect."

After a pause, director Du Jiexi smiled at Lu Heng again, and said meaningfully: "Actually, I think Brother Heng's random hand just now was good. He turned the cards around like a pen at his fingertips. I think Brother Heng also practiced hard for a period of time to get this effect, right?"

Lu Heng, who was pondering over the script, was caught off guard by director Du Jiexi's compliment on him by name, and couldn't help but raise his head and smile at Du Jiexi.

If Qiao Yubai played by Zhou Hong represents superb gambling skills, and Xu Kerong played by Rong Xiu represents IQ and logical thinking, then A Sheng played by Lu Heng is basically a force value in the script.Born in a family of warlords, Ah Sheng's most eye-catching skill in the script is the sharpshooter with a hundred shots.As for the gamble at the beginning of the movie, Lu Heng couldn't use more scenes to explain the character's martial arts prowess, so after writing a biography of nearly [-] characters, he also designed a lot of eye-catching tricks for himself .

Under the tutelage of Mr. Fang Qizheng, the most powerful martial arts instructor in China, Lu Heng, who has two lifetimes of experience, indeed has an incomparable talent in motion design.And he tailor-made various actions such as "turning the pen", "turning the knife", and "turning the card" for the role of Ah Sheng. The personality tends to be active and jumpy, and he is also a peacock who loves to play and show off with high self-confidence.The third is that the typical acting skills are not enough to act together. As a kung fu superstar with a background in martial arts, Lu Heng never forgets his strengths. It is reasonable to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses at this moment.

Actor Zhou Hong, who played with Lu Heng on the same stage, also came up with the idea of ​​using card-playing actions to interpret the character of the character and metaphor the main line of the story after seeing Lu Heng's scheming little flower work.It's just that actor Zhou Hong's talent for action design is not as monstrous as Lu Heng's. Zhou Hong, who has superb acting skills, can only design a few actions for himself through his understanding of the script and previous experience, but the finished product is naturally not as stunning as Lu Heng's. .Comparing the two, it's no wonder that Zhou Hong is worried about this, and has repeatedly slowed down the shooting pace, hoping that the three of them can work together to create the most co-produced scene and contribute eye-catching visual effects.

Hearing that director Du Jiexi clearly advocated teamwork, he actually did not hesitate to push the work of designing actions to Lu Heng. Zhou Hong and Rong Xiu, who were also sitting on the set, looked at each other. Although life is grand and humorous, it is easy to talk However, Zhou Yingdi, who has always been tough and righteous at work, couldn't help but smile and said to Rongxiu: "I said Rongxiu, do you think it's really lucky that our crew can invite Lu Heng to play the leading role. Not to mention Xiaoheng's popularity And the box office appeal, only pay the salary of a male lead, and you can have an action director with international standards by the way, even my partner in the same group has made a lot of money."

As Zhou Hong said, he stretched out his hand and patted Lu Heng's shoulder, and added with a pleasant smile: "Xiao Heng, after the filming is over, Big Brother will treat you to a good meal. I will trouble you now."

Rongxiu on the side also smiled and said: "Xiaoheng, you can do more work if you can, and brother Rongxiu will invite you to the amusement park later, okay?"

Hearing this, Lu Heng couldn't help but nodded with a wry smile, and continued to lower his head to ponder the action part of this child's play.

Sitting in front of the monitor, Director Du Jiexi only felt his face burning slightly, but the crew did not mention martial arts instruction when they signed the contract with Lu Heng, so naturally they couldn't give Lu Heng a part-time martial arts salary now.Du Jiexi felt guilty about this, and could only make up for it by adding more polish to Lu Heng's role during the process of changing the play (without affecting the rhythm of the main line).

Lu Heng, who has always been more talkative, didn't care about this, but in the eyes of Zhou Hong and Rong Xiu, the stinginess of director Du Jiexi and the crew of "Fengyue Casino" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Regarding this point, Director Du Jiexi could only take the blame for the producer who refused to pay Lu Heng an extra salary, besides shaking his head with a wry smile.

In the next few days, the filming progress of "Fengyue Casino" was as usual...slow under the strict requirements of Zhou Hong, who can be called a perfectionist control!

As a Lunar New Year comedy with a slightly tinge of horror, "Fengyue Casino" has signed three super-first-line actors in one go. While ensuring the star lineup that fans and movie fans are most looking forward to, we must also try our best to ensure the individuality of each actor. The scenes are exciting enough, and it is also necessary to take into account that the movie will not affect the main plot because of the personal performance of the characters.

It's so euphemistic, but it's actually just a sentence - to ensure that some big names will not add too much drama during the filming process so as to affect the rhythm of the film, let alone deflect the director and screenwriter's shooting philosophy.

And this point is indeed a bit of Alexander for the director and the main drama - because the other leading actor in the film - Zhou Hong, the most influential in Xiangcheng and even the Chinese film industry, with the most exquisite acting skills, and has already launched an attack on Hollywood Super A-list superstars, always like to ask for changes on the set of sudden inspiration.

But this is actually no wonder Zhou Hong, like all actors who are serious and responsible for their work, Zhou Hong also likes to review the script repeatedly before the crew starts, and habitually writes biographies for the characters he wants to interpret, to help himself better A good understanding of the characters' personalities and reactions to situations.

In terms of the concept of literary creation, everyone basically insists that "there will be a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers".In this case, Zhou Hong's understanding of the role will inevitably have a certain deviation from the director and screenwriter.And as one of the most important leading actors in the movie, Zhou Hong will indeed have a sudden inspiration during the filming process, and ask for changes and additions when he feels that the lines are inappropriate or the plot is not suitable.This is basically the normal state of Chinese actors when they are filming.It's just that some people request to delete scenes that are unfavorable to their image for the sake of being able to appear in more scenes, or because they are concerned about their own image, while some people propose to change the scene out of consideration for the script.

As the most influential actor in China, Zhou Hong's purpose in changing the play is obviously the latter.And all kinds of entertainment news about Zhou Hong's change of play are often talked about by the media and movie fans.

The most famous one is that when Zhou Hong was filming his famous film "Spearman", he changed the scene of the finale out of inspiration. During the shootout, Ma Zai, who was hiding in the dark, shot and attacked him and died on the spot.Compared with the happy ending of the original script, this abrupt ending not only shocked the audience's attention, but also sublimated the conception of the whole movie, and was finally praised by countless professional film critics as a masterpiece.

And the successful adaptation of the ending of "Gun God" also greatly encouraged Zhou Hong's passion for creation on the set.Since then, Zhou Hong has unstoppably embarked on the road of being a Virgo drama hegemony. Almost every time he takes a film and enters every crew, there will be rumors that "The actor Zhou asked to change the film because he was dissatisfied with the plot, and the drama hegemony's behavior offended the director." "The gossip news has almost become Zhou Hong's exclusive step to promote the movie.And this situation didn't come to an abrupt end until Zhou Hong left Xiangcheng for Hollywood a few years ago.

Because it is different from the "unique Chinese characteristics" shooting atmosphere where big actors temporarily request to add and change plays on the set, Hollywood's shooting process will never allow actors to add and change plays without authorization.As a Chinese actor who abandoned his previous aura and struggled to compete on the international big screen, even Zhou Hong, who was dubbed the "Emperor of the Studio" by his peers in the industry and the media, had to restrain himself in the filming process A sudden burst of inspiration.

Probably because of the sequelae of forcibly suppressing himself, when Zhou Hong returned to Huaxia to film again, he had perfect control over the changes in the script and the shooting rhythm. There is something, it is indeed considered from the rationality of the character's personality and the plot, rather than adding or changing the drama for selfish reasons.

This inevitably caused Du Jiexi and the screenwriter to complain secretly in their hearts, but also to find ways to modify the script according to Zhou Hong's suggestion, or try to use their own ideas to persuade Zhou Hong to accept the original plot intact.

The already slow shooting pace became even slower due to everyone's continuous improvement. It took nearly half a month to shoot less than ten pages of the scene. Such a protracted shooting process made the producers and investors intolerable. After three days of fishing in the crew and two days of posting on the Internet, the producer of the crew had to stay in the crew and work overtime every day to keep an eye on the progress of the filming, so as to ensure that the film could be finished as scheduled before the budget was spent.

In addition, as a Lunar New Year comedy that is about to be scheduled for the Spring Festival, "Fengyue Casino" actually needs various publicity after filming to ensure that the crew is always active in the eyes of netizens and movie fans.Therefore, it is normal for reporters to visit the set during filming.

However, what Lu Heng did not expect was that in the interview report after the visit, this group of reporters actually wrote a lot of "New Golden Crow Award Best Director Du Jiexi vomited bitterness to reporters: Lu Heng was influenced by the actor Zhou on the set. Unauthorized addition of scenes to change scenes", "A dispute occurred during filming, Lu Heng and Zhou Hongming disagreed with each other, and Rong Xiu was caught in a dilemma" and other explosive gossip that had nothing to do with the content of the filming but definitely attracted people's attention.

On the Internet, fans including Lu Heng, Zhou Hong, and Rong Xiu almost became black-eyed chickens under the deliberate instigation of professional sailors.Fortunately, Hengxuan Studio's monitoring of major social platforms and gossip forums is relatively strict, and it was almost immediately discovered the clues when the navy was involved in trouble, and immediately notified Wei Linxuan.Wei Linxuan called Lu Heng again and asked Lu Heng to take a photo with Zhou Yingdi and Rong Xiu on the set and upload it to Weibo to explain the matter clearly.

But even though Lu Heng and others reacted quickly, the rumors that the three domestic superstars were at odds and even fought each other on the set spread all over the Internet in the first place.Although most movie fans chose to believe the explanation of the three after seeing the Weibo updated by several people, some fans still insisted that Lu Heng and the three had fallen out, and the reason why they uploaded a group photo on Weibo to refute the rumors was only for their own interests. The image of crisis public relations, in fact, the relationship between the three is not as good as they say...

Faced with the conspiracy theories of this small group of people, the Lu Heng trio, who were lying innocently, could only smile wryly.No one thought that a common media visit would cause such a big disturbance. The last three leading actors were all splashed with dirty water. Only the crew and the producer gained the national audience and some crooked fans in this wave of malicious hype. He became the biggest winner in this "add drama event".In the final analysis, they were too careless, and never thought that the crew of "Fengyue Casino" would make such a wave of things in order to maintain the popularity of publicity.

Especially for Zhou Hong, who is already a god, and Rong Xiu, who is very popular in the circle, although they have already adapted to the Xiangcheng entertainment circle where gossip and paparazzi are rampant, but since their debut, they have seen everything. However, and in recent years, Zhou Hong and Rong Xiu, who are used to being respected by the media, really did not expect the crew to be so courageous. Dare to use such a way of harming others and benefiting oneself to promote the movie.

Are you really not afraid that the three of them will all put down their picks and stop acting in a fit of anger?

Faced with the questioning of Lu Heng and the three of them, director Du Jiexi and the CEO of Guangying Media, the producer of "Fengyue Casino", personally offered wine to the three of Lu Heng to make amends: on the one hand, they used additional remuneration to appease the anger of the three, on the other hand, they promised to Held a press conference in the name of the crew to clarify the previous rumors for the three, and repeatedly stated at the wine table that the crew did not provoke the relationship between the three, and even provoked the fans of the three to fight on the Internet.

The producer who has always been a debt collector on the set smiled wryly while holding a drink, and admitted frankly: the crew did contact the media, and wanted to produce a wave of three male protagonists who kept improving and discussed the script on the set so that the shooting progress was seriously delayed , the crew had to press the draft of the progress every day. While promoting the awesomeness of their own works, they also had a wave of enthusiasm for hard work and cuteness.However, for some reason, several media reporters changed the content of the draft without authorization after returning home, and finally it became a scandalous revelation that the three of them fought and changed the play without authorization.He even dragged the director Du Jiexi out to lay down the gun.

"We were all together on the day of the media visit. The three of them heard what I said in front of the reporters. They deliberately distorted my words and took them out of context, just to make trouble!"

When Du Jiexi said this, he couldn't help complaining with a bitter smile: "I, Du Jiexi, is a young director who has just debuted. Even if I was lucky enough to win the Golden Crow Award for Best Director, it can only be said that I have a more beautiful It's a stepping stone. How brave am I to frame the three film kings? Taking a step back, even if I don't care about the status and influence of the three, I don't have the guts to provoke the Wei family?"

The ferromagnetic relationship between Lu Heng and Wei Linxuan has long been known in the circle.Although Du Jiexi's remarks may seem like a compliment to get rid of the crime, they are also the truth.

The producer sat on the sidelines and nodded with concern, and continued to say: "The trouble this time is indeed that our crew did not think carefully, and someone took advantage of the loopholes. But don't worry, our Guangying Media is not good. This time, our company will definitely give the three of you an explanation."

As the producer, Guangying Media swears by it, and the boss of the company even made a toast to apologize to everyone. Regardless of whether it is true or not, this attitude alone has given everyone enough face.Seeing this, Lu Heng and the three naturally couldn't pursue it any longer, so they could only express generously on the surface, "This is not an example". There was a grudge.

In any case, after the producer lowered his profile and offered wine to make amends, the filming of "Fengyue Casino" is still back on track.It's just that after the oolong of reporters visiting the crew and tampering with the draft, the crew was also afraid that there would be troubles in the future, so they decided to switch to closed shooting to ensure that everyone's thoughts were on the crew.

Regarding the crew's cautious attitude of "being bitten by a snake once", the three of Lu Heng were noncommittal.Once some grudges are formed, it is not so easy to eliminate them.However, after an unpleasant incident, everyone can pay attention to the scale and make concessions that make each other feel comfortable, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

Just as Lu Heng was immersed in the high-intensity closed filming, the entire Chinese entertainment circle was also shaken by an explosive scandal.

The cause of the incident was that at two o'clock in the morning on a certain Saturday, a newly registered Weibo account suddenly uploaded a list, which contained nearly a hundred male and female artists, some of whom had come out of talent shows in recent years The show stars, the boy and girl groups with beautiful appearance and different personalities, and even many second- and third-tier celebrities in the circle, and these stars all have a standard price tag behind them, ranging from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands. The microblog account that uploaded the list explained that this price tag is the so-called "dinner price".As the name suggests, it is the price tag for the artists on the list to accompany wine, attend dinners, and even have more in-depth exchanges.After verification, all the artists on the list are all artists under Yingdun Entertainment.

Since Weibo was uploaded at [-] o'clock in the middle of the night, basically everyone who should rest at this time has a rest. Those who don't want to rest on the Internet can rely on the rest of the next day to watch dramas online and browse Weibo unscrupulously. .

One side is full of energy and has no worries about eating melons on the Internet, and the other side is Yingdun Entertainment, which has already left work and lacks emergency public relations. The time difference between the two parties caused this Weibo to be uploaded, and it was less than two hours. Excited netizens They were on the top of the hot search, and then were spared no effort to spread to major social platforms and entertainment forums by enthusiastic netizens.

After a night of fermentation, it was already popular on the Internet at around [-] o'clock the next morning, and was later reprinted and reported by major media newspapers and marketing accounts.The microblogs of Yingdun artists involved in the list also fell in the comments of fans frantically swiping the screen for explanation.Some fans with fierce attitudes have even started the topic of #XX满出娱乐圈# on Weibo.

The situation was so serious that Inton Entertainment had no choice but to recall all employees on Saturday morning, urgently discussed the content of crisis public relations and held a press conference to explain the dinner list to all walks of life.At the same time, he did not forget to signal the company's legal department to issue a lawyer's letter to the microblog account, and even Hengxuan Studio, the provider of the microblog platform, accusing the other party of spreading rumors and slandering, defaming the image of Yington Entertainment's artists, and giving Inton Entertainment and its artists have caused irreparable harm.

However, before Yington Entertainment's press conference had the desired public relations effect, also at [-] o'clock in the morning on Sunday, a newly registered Weibo account unhurriedly dropped a second bomb, Shocked the entire Huaxia entertainment circle again——

Because this time the microblog trumpet is throwing out conclusive evidence that Yingdun Entertainment has used usury, DUPIN, fruit photos and other means to control artists to sell YIN since its establishment for many years.

If the list of dinners released by this microblog account before was just a mild explosion of firecrackers, then the new round of revelations is undoubtedly a powerful depth bomb. Once it exploded, it immediately blew up the entire entertainment industry.

For a time, the entire China was in an uproar.
