Chapter 53 Believe in Science!(1/2)
Chapter 53 Believe in science!
Before he was sure whether he could really become Superman, Luo Zihang finally became a little more concerned about the next audition...
After all, if he is really unfortunate enough to be guessed by himself, then action scenes and martial arts scenes that allow him to "learn" Kung Fu are the few types that he would be more interested in... As a man, he is more or less interested in that.
The hero dreamed of it.
The dream of being a superman is hopeless, but it would be nice to realize the dream of being a hero, even if all I learn in the end is some tricks that are of no use...but...it's so handsome!
So Luo Zihang picked up the information that Zhao Qi gave him and began to read it carefully.
"... Just saying that I like your movie is considered flattering?" Luo Zihang flipped through the audition notes and complained: "Either the director is maintaining his character, or
He just suffered some related psychological trauma...otherwise, why can't he even listen to polite words...Well, it's also possible that he was actually targeting someone when he did it for the first time, and now he can't stand it..."
Luo Zihang muttered as he finished flipping through the information, and finally got a little understanding of this director with a martial arts background.
Generally speaking, the other party is quite easy to get along with. He is a practical person who doesn't like to talk empty words and feels that words are worse than actions.
Regardless of whether Director Liu Xu's character is real or a concocted character, he just needs to follow the other person's lead. As for whether the final audition can be successful, that is not Luo Zihang's decision.
"Speaking of which... isn't this a form of flattery? Sure enough, this old guy is just trying to concoct his character, right?" Luo Zihang curled his lips and complained again.
In the following period, in addition to continuing to participate in various variety shows, Luo Zihang rarely practiced his grappling skills seriously. He even actually followed Ma Weisheng's advice and took some time to go to the company and find someone to learn from him.
A relatively simple set of martial arts moves.
The "Kite Flip" trick that the protagonist privately transmitted to Hu Feng in the script, to put it bluntly, is to step forward and step on the opponent's chest, then do a backflip and kick the person's chin with the other foot, or to use a more intuitive metaphor...
...the signature move of Gu Lie, the bumbling leader in Street Fighter - the soul-cutting leg knife. Luo Zihang used to call this move a scythe back then.
Because of his background in grappling and his physical fitness that has been optimized by the system, Luo Zihang learned this set of moves very quickly. At least it looks like it, and he is qualified to be called a showman.
After Director Liu Xu made this hated statement, the reporters in the audience immediately became agitated, and then they immediately chose to turn around and ask Luo Zihang for his opinion on this possibility.
But no matter what, getting the role is victory, so Luo Zihang also cooperated with a look of sincerity and fear: "Don't worry, Director Liu, I will definitely work hard to play this role well!"
He raised his eyebrows and offered a novel opinion without hesitation.
Being able to participate in a movie shot by director Liu Xu is worth buying a few drafts to get a feel for it. What's more, Luo Zihang was praised by a bunch of directors for his professionalism not long ago, and now he is working with Director Liu, who is famous for being demanding in the industry. It's just right.
You can continue to strengthen this character.
Luo Zihang returned home alone and played with Bigglesworth for a while with the cat stick, then sat on the sofa and read the script of the movie.
"This actually has nothing to do with whether there is a guaranteed box office." Ma Weisheng glanced at the group of people not far away and explained calmly: "The main reason is because Director Liu Xu doesn't know how to choose actors.
He considers the other party's reputation, so every time he makes a movie, he will try his luck with some actors who are not very famous and can't find roles... Of course, such people can usually only get a small amount of money.
Important supporting roles or even minor roles will have no impact on you."
Luo Zihang glanced at Liu Xu speechlessly. As a great director, he dared to say such things without fear of offending people, but how could he, a little idol, dare to connotate his peers so blatantly? So he could only smile and help Director Liu.
: "Everyone has their own ideas. Some people just want to have a good time filming and don't want to be bothered by other chores, so even if they don't like working with me, it doesn't mean anything. Besides..."
However, the background of warlord melee provides more room for maneuver...
In addition, he also knows why Director Liu Xu "never forgets" his backflip.
Because Luo Zihang was actively invited by Director Liu Xu to audition, they walked directly through the crowd and came to Director Liu Xu.
"Then I'll go find Brother Mo and the others to discuss publicity matters." Zhao Qi also said goodbye.
Time soon came to the day of the audition. This time Luo Zihang was not only accompanied by his assistant Zhao Qi, but also his manager Ma Weisheng.
If it is really used for fighting, this move is actually not practical, but when it comes to making movies, naturally the more beautiful the fight is and the more difficult the action is, the more beautiful it will be.
As for other people...that has nothing to do with him, and if something really happened, wouldn't it be a hot search sent to his door? It was too late for him to welcome them.
Although the plot is very simple, Luo Zihang doesn't think there is any problem. Just like what Ma Weisheng said at the beginning, action movies are not good at drama, and in the previous life, Fearless, Huang Feihong, Ip Man... are basically similar.
As for the plot, as long as the fight scenes are well shot, a little humor is interspersed in the middle, and the theme is sublimated a little, it will basically be a qualified action movie.
"Besides, with you on the crew, the script will probably have to be changed a lot later... Hahahaha!" Director Liu Xu was obviously aware of the "Luo Zihang phenomenon", and he couldn't help laughing after he finished speaking.
.
"It's not a big problem. Let's not talk about whether my speculation is correct or not. Even if I don't gain anything this time, I will probably take on some more powerful martial arts roles later on." Luo Zihang shook his head and consoled himself.
Isn’t it invalid now?!
"If changing the script can make the movie more exciting, I don't mind changing it." Director Liu spread his hands and said, "What's more, friends who are familiar with me know that I often start shooting the movie but the script is not yet ready.
It’s settled…it happens to be the same this time.”
Luo Zihang, who had made up his mind to let the martial artists in the dungeon see what hesitation would lead to defeat, had already begun to think about how to encourage Director Liu Xu to strengthen the presence of guns in the script, or to let him pay attention to logic and strengthen kung fu.
His ability in movies is also good.
If Luo Zihang's previous speculation was followed, then he didn't have much serious time to practice martial arts in the dungeon, and it is conceivable that his martial arts skills would eventually be fed back to reality.
"If you are inflexible, it will be difficult to survive in this industry." Ma Weisheng also sneered. It seems that the nature of director Liu Xu is not a secret in the eyes of these entertainment industry veterans.
As Luo Zihang's popularity gradually increases, the company pays more and more attention to him, not to mention that Ma Weisheng has always wanted to take advantage of his good luck.
"As expected of a director with a guaranteed box office..." After Luo Zihang came to the audition location, he couldn't help but sigh: "There was no open audition, but how could so many people come?"
"Hello, Mr. Luo, will there be any changes to the script during this filming?" During the reporter's Q&A period, the first question fell on Luo Zihang's head.
Although Luo Zihang also understands that such a mentality is actually not good. After all, luck is too mysterious and may fail at any time, but...
…
There is nothing surprising about the content of the whole drama. To summarize it simply: During the melee between warlords, a martial artist saves the world and saves the people.
"Why should you worry? I haven't done anything shady..." Director Liu smiled meaningfully, "On the contrary, it's those people who don't want to cooperate with Zihang, maybe... ahem... you know
.”
Anyway, the script hasn't been finalized yet, and in the end, netizens will put the blame for changing the script on themselves, so he might as well strike first!
"...I think it would be better for you to ask Director Liu about this kind of thing." Luo Zihang suppressed the idea of rolling his eyes at the reporter who asked the question, and then passed the topic to Director Liu Xu who was standing aside.
I have to say that Liu Xu, an old-school director, is really old-school. The filming of the movie is about to start. The cover of the script has the words ""The Heroes of Troubled Times" (tentative)" written grandly, and Luo Zihang clearly remembers it.
, Director Liu Xu made a movie with this name five or six years ago... Apparently not only has the script not been finalized, but even the name is just based on the previous movie... It's very similar to those old movies from the previous life.
The style of writing and shooting the movie at the same time.
Then Luo Zihang took another look at the character he played, tentatively named Hu Feng... and he was a little disappointed.
After making sure that no matter how hard he worked, it wouldn't have much impact on his work, Luo Zihang couldn't suppress his trouble-making heart.
In addition, it seems that there really is such a figure in the history of this world... It is not unusual for movies and TV series to use historical figures as protagonists.
The reporter also turned to Director Liu in cooperation.
Luo Zihang, who already knew what the director was like, would naturally not take such polite words seriously. If it was really like what he said, then why did he wait until he became a hot search topic before sending out the invitation in the first place?
Of course, what the other party said may not all be lies. Maybe he had indeed considered himself, but he just couldn't decide, or he was swinging between several choices. It wasn't until he was on a hot search a while ago that he finally decided
Director Liu made up his mind.
Because the setting of this character is a bit similar to Liang Kuan in Once Upon a Time, or Bruce Lee in Ip Man. He is a little gangster who always wants to be the disciple of the protagonist. His strength in the play is not outstanding, except for
Apart from the special moves that the protagonist has passed down privately, he only knows a few tricks. Although he was eventually accepted as his apprentice by the protagonist, the dungeon should have ended by then...
"Hahaha! Good! Very energetic!" Director Liu was obviously very satisfied with Luo Zihang's attitude. He patted Luo Zihang's shoulder again and handed over a document, "This is the script of the movie and the role you play.
Setting, take it back and take a good look at it. I haven’t finalized the script yet, so you just need to get a rough idea. The main thing is to master the characteristics of the character, and..."
"So Director Liu, aren't you worried about the 'Luo Zihang phenomenon' on your crew?" the reporter asked again.
Well, this Lin Tiannan is not the master of the Lin Family Fort, the leader of the Southern Wulin League, nor does he have a daughter named Lin Yueru. It is simply the name of the protagonist of this movie.
When I actually cause trouble in the dungeon in the future, let’s see if you can still laugh!
Luo Zihang rolled his eyes covertly and made a decision in his heart... As long as his character's force value reaches the standard, he will definitely make a scene in this movie!
After signing the contract, Luo Zihang and the other three left the audition location. The crew's preparations still need some time. When filming officially starts, someone will naturally call him to inform him.
Although Director Liu Xu also suffers from the common problem of "romance" in the entertainment industry, compared to those directors who have multiple boats and third parties involved, he is a director who only talks about the next one after splitting up.
He is considered a model soldier, so of course he is not worried that he will be influenced by Luo Zihang.
I just don't know if these fancy fighting methods will change after entering the dungeon. If they don't change, I can take the opportunity to do some cruel things, but the greater possibility is that they are the same as the original Lan Tian.
The main character will suddenly cheat at critical moments, and his method of finding loopholes cannot determine the final outcome.
You know, he had learned marksmanship for many years in the previous movie copy, so if he were to play American Iai and Ashina swordsmanship in it... wouldn't it be a bit unethical?
Of course, this is just what Luo Zihang thinks about. After all, with his status in the script, he basically has no access to firearms, and with the technology of that era and the setting of the movie itself, most of the time, guns may not really be available.
Kung fu works well.
"Actually, I have been paying attention to you a long time ago." After confirming the role, Director Liu patted Luo Zihang on the shoulder and explained: "Didn't you perform a backflip in a variety show before? At that time, I had a
Inspiration, but I have never been able to perfect it. Until a while ago, I watched "Light, Shadow" and found that you are not only good in physical fitness, but also have pretty good acting skills. At that time, I basically decided on you, and then a while ago
Regarding your hot search, several directors have expressed their appreciation for your professionalism, so why should I hesitate? So this audition is just a formality."
The subsequent audition process went very smoothly. Director Liu Xu just asked Luo Zihang to do a few backflips and then decided on the role. He didn't even get to show off the martial arts routines he had just learned.
However, you can use psychological hints to let yourself in the dungeon get a gun for self-defense if there is a chance.
To be continued...
