Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

Zheng Wushu has already pointed out another upward path for the Yang family, but it is impossible to reach the end in a short time.

The meal should be eaten bite by bite.

For Yang Li now, it is imperative to finish filming "Half Century" well and develop a relationship with Mr. Zheng.

After filming "Half Century", Mr. Zheng will go abroad again.

No, you must seize the opportunity!

They lived next to each other, no matter how hard they worked, it would not be difficult to live in the same room.

The idea is beautiful, but it is not so easy to implement.

As Yang Li's role in "Half Century" continued to increase, he found himself under increasing pressure.

The actors in "Half Century" are all capable. They can quickly enter the role, and they can also cooperate with the actors around them tacitly. In many cases, they almost all go together. This invisible sense of oppression forced Yang Li to almost Difficulty functioning normally.

What's even more frightening is that Zheng Wushu, as a trainee director, also dangled around the set, making Yang Li uneasy.

If the acting is not good, I wonder if Mr. Zheng will feel that I am not serious; if the acting is a little better, I feel that I can be better.

Such repeated entangled emotions appeared back and forth on Yang Li, and it was difficult for him to calm down.

"Cut." Director Fan Chu yelled again, "Yang Li, take a good rest, you haven't entered the state yet."

"I'm sorry, director." Yang Li took the water handed over by his assistant, gulped down half of it, and finally stabilized his mood a little.

He also knew that he couldn't go on like this.

But acting skills are not what he wants to have.

When filming before, I never felt that my acting skills were so inadequate.But now, Yang Li feels more and more that he really stole too much laziness before, otherwise he wouldn't have acted like this.

Yang Li opened his own script, wanting to hurry up and read it again, maybe he can understand the character's emotions more deeply!

Fan Chu walked up to Zheng Wushu who was next to the camera, and said softly, "Yang Li is a little impatient, go and enlighten him, it's actually not his problem."

It's impossible to blame Yang Li.

Now the actors who are acting with Yang Li are the top actors in this industry, and these actors have no fewer roles than Yang Li, and there is no need to control themselves not to steal the limelight from other actors.

These already powerful actors, the atmosphere of the set and the cooperation of the opponents complement each other, releasing more powerful acting skills than before.For these Hong Kong actors who are already familiar with each other, this movie is almost born for them.

Whether it's the sets, lines, or the sense of the times in these movies, they can understand them one by one.But Yang Li has never experienced these things, so he lost a bit in understanding the role.The combination of various factors made it difficult for Yang Li to perform well on the set.

Even Pei Rong, who has a higher status and better acting skills than Yang Li, knows that he will be difficult to perform in this film, so he just left after being outstanding, and he has no intention of grabbing a more important role. idea.

Yang Li is now like a bronze falling into a bunch of kings. This is not a gap that can be made up by simply looking at the strategy or charging money.

"It will happen like this, he has to adjust himself." Zheng Wushu didn't move, although he had been secretly observing Yang Li.

Yang Li's current state is just like when he just joined the Hollywood crew.

At that time, Zheng Wushu's acting style was also incompatible with other people. No matter how pure his English was, it was different from his mother tongue.

If you can't bear this kind of pressure by yourself, even if others help, it will only be temporary, and it won't help you forever.

The current Yang Li is just filming in the same movie with such a group of old actors. If he wants to win awards in the future, he has to defeat these old actors. It would be too early to admit defeat now!

Zheng Wushu felt that his old problems seemed to have worsened, and he couldn't help but use strict standards to demand the people around him.

But Yang Li shouldn't be scared away by himself.

From the moment he signed him, Zheng Wushu knew that Yang Li was actually very resilient.No matter how high or big the obstacle was, Yang Li would at best try to cross it while saying that it was scary.

A guy whose words are completely different from what he actually does.

"Why are you stricter than me?" Fan Chu couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't use your standards to demand your artists. Otherwise, when your artists run away, you will cry."

Fan Chu felt that his attitude was tough enough, but who knew that Zheng Wushu was even more aggressive than him.However, if Zheng Wushu's character was not so stubborn, maybe he himself would not have such a great charm.

Sometimes, the aura emanating from a stubborn person can easily be addictive.

Yang Li spent almost all of today in a tangle.

"Go back and make some adjustments. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are still young." Fan Chu couldn't bear it. After all, Yang Li's boss, Zheng Wushu, was not so easy to get along with.Proper encouragement should also be given to young actors.

"I will work hard." Yang Li choked out such a sentence, "I will perform better tomorrow than today."

"No, that's not what I meant." Fan Chu felt a little troublesome, "This kind of thing can't be rushed, the more pressure you put on yourself, the worse your acting will be."

Could it be that he had been playing bad face for a long time before, and now that he came here to comfort Yang Li kindly, it was taken as a warning?

"I'm almost 27." Yang Li's eyes were a little gloomy, "At my age, Mr. Zheng has been nominated for Best Actor several times in a row."

"This... Wushang has been in the entertainment circle for a long time."

"This year's Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, that boy is only 17 years old." Yang Li said seriously, "I am ten years older than him, and I am not even nominated for a supporting actor."

But your popularity and topicality are far behind.

Fan Chu couldn't say anything to comfort him.

Yang Li's eyes were serious.

He really felt that he was still a long way off.

Yang Li's eyes were not on his own popularity and topicality, but on those young actors who had won trophies and honors in the film industry.

Eyes full of unwillingness and ambition.

It's like Zheng Wushu who opened his mouth and said to himself that he wanted to win the best actor.

I am really old.

Fan Chu thought so.

I can't tell the difference between sheep and wolves?

Yang Li looks weak, but unexpectedly seems to be extraordinarily stubborn in these aspects.

"Since you have said so, I will be more strict with you." Fan Chu smiled, "The filming will start at six o'clock tomorrow morning, so don't get up late."

"No!" Yang Li replied firmly.

"Mr. Zheng, are you there?"

At night, Yang Li knocked on Zheng Wushu's door again: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng, I know it's bad to disturb you so late, but can you play with me again?"

Yang Li hugged the script, which was almost torn by him.He can almost be said to have memorized the lines of this character fluently, but memorizing them fluently does not mean that he can perform well.

Every time Yang Li felt that there would be no problem with acting like this, once he started acting with other actors, he would still feel that he was overwhelmed.

Looking at myself through the lens, I also feel that I am not outstanding.

But the more this happened, the more unwilling Yang Li was.

He has worked so hard to come to Hong Kong, not to let himself perform without any progress.

The highlights of these actors, the way they deal with emotional changes, aren't they all in my eyes?Why is it so difficult to actually use it?

"Come on." Just now Zheng Wushu was wondering when Yang Li would come to find him, but he didn't expect to come now.

Zheng Wushu opened the door, and played with Yang Li in an upright manner.

After all, many reporters already knew that they lived here, and they didn't know where they installed their cameras.Anyway, if you want to be secretly photographed, you should be more frank.

"Sit down." Zheng Wushu took the script from Yang Li's hand, "Do you know what's wrong with me?"

"It took too long for me to get into the state." Yang Li sighed while holding his forehead, "And the more times I get interrupted, the harder it will be for me to get in again."

The role played by Yang Li is originally a character with a relatively large span. There are almost few solo scenes, and more of them are rival scenes filmed with other actors.

Fan Chu is a strict director. Once he finds something is wrong, he will shout cards, and he will not have the slightest idea of ​​letting go.

However, Yang Li's scenes are almost always played by many people. Sometimes it's either that this person has a problem with his positioning, or another person blocks the scene, or Yang Li himself doesn't act well and gets stuck quite frequently.

In this way, Yang Li's occasional brewing of a little emotion can easily be interrupted. After the interruption, there is no way to enter the previous state.

It can be said to be a vicious circle!

"This is a matter of your experience." Zheng Wushu replied, "People with experience will not get out of the role so easily."

"Can……"

"You spend too much time paying attention to other people." Zheng Wushu looked into Yang Li's eyes and said, "You're always afraid that you won't be able to act well, or that you'll forget your lines, so you will pay attention when other people say their lines. , your mind is not concentrated, and naturally it is easily interrupted by external factors."

Yang Li was speechless.

He does have this problem.

"The other thing is that you are not confident enough." Zheng Wushu sighed slightly, "You have to show your confidence."

No, how can you have confidence in this kind of thing?

Yang Li had a bitter melon look on his face.

If he has the strength of Zheng Wushu, he can be confident, but Yang Li feels that he is half a bucket of water. In front of his excellent acting skills, he is like a baby who has just learned to walk, and he really has no confidence.

"From the beginning, you feel that your performance is not as good as others, and you lose in momentum. You have to believe in yourself, you are not so bad."

"This one……"

"Other artists think they are good at acting even if they perform poorly, but you are the opposite." Zheng Wushu couldn't help laughing, "Actually, the director also praised you to me, saying that you can play well in the film industry." It’s really not easy to perform so well in this environment.”

"Really?" Yang Li's eyes lit up instantly, "Mr. Zheng, you didn't make this up on purpose to trick me, did you?"

"Even if I'm coaxing you, I won't use such words that will reveal your secrets as soon as you inquire about it." Zheng Wushu replied, "It will be enough if you can show the momentum you had when you appeared on "Special China"."

Yang Li looked at Zheng Wushu fixedly, not knowing how to answer for a while.

"If you feel that you are not good enough just here, you will face more things in the future." Zheng Wushu said lightly, "One day, the two of us will have a rivalry."

"what?"

"What are you going to do at that time?" Zheng Wushu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you going to admit defeat now, or not take the role at all?"

"How come?" Yang Li quickly retorted, "I'm looking forward to acting with you, Mr. Zheng."

"Adversary scenes are like a relay race between two actors. Whoever stops first loses, but if both of them work hard, the race will be overwhelmingly victorious. You have to learn to catch and you The signal sent by the cooperating actor may be a look, a subtle movement, and there will be an omen before he speaks the lines."

As Zheng Wushu said, he opened a page of the script, pointed to a certain paragraph in it and said, "Look at this paragraph, I remember that when I was acting, the actor who played the role of the third sister had already started touching his pocket, did you know that?"

Yang Li thought about it for a while, but his memory was a little fuzzy.

"The character of the third sister used to smoke in the film, so Liu Man, who played the role of the third sister, designed such a small action for this character to touch cigarettes. Every time I get emotional, I will subconsciously touch myself and Smoke that doesn't exist."

Zheng Wushu's words gradually reminded Yang Li of the process of acting with Liu Man. At that time, the other party seemed to have such an action, but Yang Li didn't care.

"Is there still this detail?" Yang Li was very annoyed, "I didn't notice it at all."

"Sister Liu Man is a very special actress. She will design corresponding small movements for each of her roles, or wear some small items with character characteristics. This design not only makes it easier for her to enter the role, but also enables her to have a relationship with the character. Resonance. These character movements of hers are the signals she sends to you, proving that she is about to start exerting her strength. So, at this time, you should be ready to start your play, and be careful not to be overwhelmed by her."

Yang Li may not have noticed these small details, but Zheng Wushu, who was watching everyone's performance with the director, could easily notice them.

In the whole shot, these small movements designed by Liu Man can easily steal the scene for her, making the character she plays plump up in an instant.It is precisely because of this ability that Liu Man won the double best female supporting role at the Golden Horse and Golden Rooster Awards at the age of 32.

"There is also this part, I remember that I was filming with you at that time..."

In the first half of the night, Zheng Wushu spent almost all of his time analyzing the behavioral logic of the actors who played opposite him to Yang Li, so that Yang Li could better understand the other party's state; His lines for tomorrow's shoot.

The reason why Yang Li's acting skills are suppressed is also because his line skills are too different from others.

It wasn't until five o'clock in the morning that Yang Li went back to his room to wash his face, ready to tidy up and go straight to filming.

As an artist, staying up late for filming is common, and Yang Li has almost gotten used to it.

"Damn, you actually talked about the whole night's drama?" The reporters guarding near the hotel were almost cursing.

They waited so hard all night, just to listen to the two of them constantly talking about the play?

Just horrible!

You can't talk about personal relationship issues or work development, and it's okay to say bad things about other people.

"Senior, are Zheng Wushu and the artists under him all workaholics?" The intern reporter next to him was about to fall asleep, and now he was only supported by his own enthusiasm.

They have been squatting with these two people for a few days in a row. They are either going to film or come back to act or give lectures. The only time they go out to eat is the first time. Usually, they almost eat an apple and add an egg and they are done.

What kind of body structure is it that can maintain such a work intensity with only such a small amount of food?

"Almost." The reporter known as the senior also felt helpless, "Zheng Wushu is a well-known workaholic. I followed him when he was in Hong Kong before, and almost couldn't shoot anything. Shame, forget it, call it a day and go home. If you have time to spend time with Zheng Wushou, it’s better to go and pat on the wealthy Kuotai and hit the mistress.”

Journalists also have to eat.

Meeting a workaholic like Zheng Wushu is simply impossible to cooperate normally.In private, they secretly suspected that Zheng Wushu was not good, otherwise, why would such a young and strong actor have no private life?Could it be that his targets are all able to practice the law, come and go without a trace?

Originally, celebrities and Yuji are in a cooperative relationship. Many so-called "sneak shots" are actually "staged shots". If you give me a bite to eat, I won't cut your life.Sometimes if you really get something in the photo, you can discuss it carefully and get the money.

But Zheng Wushu really doesn't give Yuji a living.

Except for the necessary cooperation, this person's private life is extremely boring, and he has driven many well-known entertainment reporters crazy.If you want to squat him, it's really not good if you don't have a ten-year or eight-year-old.

Occasionally, a tabloid will make up false news about Zheng Wushu, but it's okay if there is no response, but if there is a little splash, be careful of the defendant.This kind of personality is really unpleasant, but what can the reporters do if the audience likes it?

Entertainment journalists from Hong Kong and Taiwan couldn't handle him, and reporters from mainland China couldn't handle him either.After all, in terms of tracking celebrity gossip, reporters in these two places have more means.

It's time to call it a day.

Yang Li cheered up and sat in the car, and reported to the crew first, Zheng Wushu could go later.Yang Li was also reluctant to get up and go to work after Mr. Zheng worked so hard to tell him about the play all night.

When he was about to arrive at the set, Yang Li heard a special notification on his phone ringing.

It turned out to be the latest news from Moments sent by Mr. Zheng.

There are only a few simple words on it: "I like people who are confident."

Soon, Zheng Wushu's circle of friends gathered a lot of likes.

Almost every artist whose name can be counted is giving Zheng Wushu crazy likes and comments.

Gu Qianqian asked bluntly: "What's the matter? Could it be that a little fairy confessed to you?"

Zheng Wushu didn't answer.

But with Gu Qianqian at the beginning, there are a lot of questions below.

"Fuck, don't you want a girlfriend?"

"What does it mean to be confident? I am also very confident."

"You think too much, this should be self-encouraging words."

"not understand well."

…………

Wang Chuhong and Zhou Cheng also silently praised their boss.

This is so obvious.

Yang Li also sneakily gave a like.

He also needs to become more confident!

Zheng Wushu turned on the phone, and found Yang Li's name accurately among the crowd of people who liked it, and then put down the phone contentedly.

I hope Yang Li can understand.

When he entered the filming crew again, Fan Chu found that Yang Li had changed from yesterday's slump, and suddenly became more confident and energetic, looking full of vigor.

Originally, actresses like Liu Man were the type who could steal the limelight, but this time in front of the youthful Yang Li, she turned back a little, and seemed to be less glamorous.

Yang Li is also making rapid progress. After getting stuck in two, he has changed from being under the pressure of Liu Man to being able to keep up with Liu Man's progress.

Liu Man also seemed a little surprised.

The potential of this young actor is even better than she imagined.

That's it.

"Isn't this A Li?" The third sister played by Liu Man pretended to caress the ring in her hand casually, "We were still filming together at the time, I didn't expect you to change careers now?"

"Yes." A Li, played by Yang Li, had a smile on his face, as if he was not stimulated by the third sister at all, "It would be the best if you are willing to join us. The location of our building is good, and it will definitely increase. You If you like it, can I show you the house layout?"

"We're all old friends." The third sister hooked Gou Ali's hand with a smile, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with selling a house. How much is it for playing tricks?"

Ali still smiled as always, neither responding nor refuting.

"I remember that A Li used to say seriously that he was not a side role, but a supporting role." The third sister laughed with Kuo Tai beside her as if joking, "Mary, do you think he is very interesting? One more line That’s all, what is it if it’s not a trick?”

"Third sister, this is the floor plan of our place." Ali brought the blueprint graciously, and chatted with the two people with a smile. I sold two suites.

It wasn't until the third sister turned around that A Li's face slowly turned cold.

"By the way, this is my business card. If I buy a house in the future, I will take care of your business." The third sister stopped and handed over her business card.

A Li changed into a smile in an instant, and the speed of changing his face was amazing.

"Thank you, Third Sister." A Li straightened his chest, bowed slightly, wiped his business card and put it in his briefcase.

"Yes." Fan Chu shouted.

This scene is perfect, almost Yang Li's best performance since filming.

Young people recover so quickly.

Fan Chu couldn't help thinking this way, what an enviable youth.
