This veteran actor, who was once threatened to be banned by 30 media outlets but has remained popular all his life, not only has impressive acting skills and good looks, but also has a natural love of freedom, a personality that is unrestrained and almost cynical.
But people who are familiar with Wang Ziwen know that this person is actually a very simple person who will say whatever comes to his mind. However, he is unwilling to express his opinions on some things to the media. This is his true performance.
Especially when it comes to the roles he is about to play, his characteristic of being bold and outspoken will be fully displayed.
But today, he expressed satisfaction with the script in a different style than he did before, which really made him have a strong interest in playing the role.
This situation has never happened to him before, so almost all the actors present looked confused.
Just because this person is so well-known in the industry, his aura on and off the screen is a mixture of respect, admiration and intimidation. In the profession, the person and the actor are integrated into one, and it has reached the level of every gesture, every look, He has already become a god.
Therefore, regardless of whether we have collaborated with him or not, his image of being unfathomable, good and evil, profound, cold and tender, funny, and down-to-earth has long been deeply rooted in the circle.
Liu Qingshan also felt the same way: "Brother Wen, I am a junior in front of you. I can accept any criticism and correction from you. I dare to ask you to star. To be honest, I have been mentally prepared for it!"
Wang Ziwen laughed heartily: "Don't be fooled by some rumors outside. In fact, I am the most ordinary person. Apart from being a hot-tempered person, I can clearly distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong." Ming, do you still want me to find some flaws in a script that has almost no flaws?"
Among the people present, Liu Ye was the one who knew him best and was not afraid of him at all: "Director Liu, Brother Wen has a bad temper and is very courageous. When he was a teacher of Chinese opera, he was given an assignment because If the house is not right, he will dare to call and scold the dean. However, he will treat things that he approves with the warmth of spring, because he also has his own interests and hobbies. For example, he will listen to almost all of your songs. I like it very much!"
Wang Ziwen nodded: "Speaking of which, I am still your fan, and I am not disowning my relatives like the rumors say, and I secretly laugh at those who say that I am upright! I also have selfish thoughts and various minor problems. There is no shortage of them. If I say your script is Aiwujiwu, would you believe it?"
Now that the words have come to this, Liu Qingshan can only nod and cooperate: "That's my honor, but if your views today are exposed to the outside world, certain media will have more to say!"
The second half of his sentence may not have meant to warn others, because he knows the pain of being closely watched by the media.
The oldest among these people is Shi Zhaoqi, who is also a veteran actor. He and Wang Ziwen are also old acquaintances.
No, as soon as he entered the door, he took the initiative to sit on the other side of Wang Ziwen.
As the atmosphere became more lively, he spoke for the first time: "Ziwen's personality is very similar to mine, but I am older and know more about propriety. At least I will not complain to reporters even if I am full of resentment. Erect middle finger!"
The entire audience burst into laughter. This joke was a famous incident in domestic entertainment. The drunken Wang Ziwen was blacklisted by many well-known media outlets.
Wang Ziwen didn't care at all about his old friend's exposure: "I just raised a finger, but someone dared to beat up a Hollywood star in front of the media. I said, Lao Shi, since you dare to troll me, you can't troll me." This master?"
At this time, Shi Zhaoqi did not have the strong aura of the character at all: "At least he did not act under the influence of alcohol, and you were sitting in the driver's seat at the time. According to this year's traffic regulations, you will be arrested for drunk driving!"

Anyone who is familiar with Liu Qingshan knows that when he beat Kiir violently, he held high the banner of national dignity, and almost every one of his outbursts was justified.
The two people were fighting over this matter, and they were actually talking about Liu Qingshan's meticulous thinking.
Another explanation for this adjective is that the old woman is very cunning. No wonder even Mr. Fu and Mr. Bian said that he was a cunning little fox.
Liu Qingshan already has a young mind, and he didn't stop the two veterans from playing cymbals in time. Instead, he added fuel to the fire: "I also I heard that it was also at that time that Brother Wen scolded the leader because the other party made too much noise while drinking tea during a meeting?"
Shi Zhaoqi immediately became more enthusiastic: "Yes, yes, yes, he didn't bother to get promoted during that time. He only drank tea and read newspapers every day; he even didn't bother to make money, and often considered himself a waste. His mantra at that time was: What are you doing after resigning? ? What can I do? I'm such a waste. Let me declare in advance, I don't know anything!"
These words made Wang Ziwen himself laugh: "It really is like this. I am a bit unpleasant, even a bit annoying, even if I am tied to the bed by my insecure girlfriend and forced with a knife to my neck. , and refused to let go of the three words "I love you." "
He was born and raised in Shanghai, but he has a taste of Beijing movies, and he has no sense of disobedience. When he talks about his relationship with his girlfriend, his tone is more romantic than ruthless.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan will never admit his unlikability: "It is said that when God closes the door here, he must open a window elsewhere. Brother Wen, you may be a bit stubborn in your interest in life, but the characters you create are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. , people are saying that you are their artistic god."
Wang Ziwen smiled calmly: "I am at best dedicated. When I was filming "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" a few years ago, I did it on an icy wooden board 30 centimeters wide and 14 meters above the ground without any protective measures. A whole day of drama. Perhaps the only good thing about me is that the outside world can change, but I can’t change here.”
Liu Qingshan took the lead in applauding. He had a purpose in deliberately flattering this man.
His own qualifications are too low, and his strength was supplemented by his own strength when he made the first two fighting and killing films, but in such a brain-burning drama, his shortcomings in controlling details were exposed. .
Moreover, almost every detail in the plot is full of a high-level sense of fighting of wits and courage. Even if he has a complete original picture in his mind, it is difficult to detect or correct the shortcomings of some actors in psychological description.
But there is an old actor like Wang Ziwen in the crew who really dislikes mistakes in actors. If you establish a good relationship with him, you can help him solve many detailed loopholes through his assistance.
As for this person not finding faults in the script, it was actually Liu Qingshan who had done enough homework in advance.
His foresight opened his eyes, and he was able to discover the shortcomings in the film based on the professional film review feedback he received after the original version was released.
And there are indeed many loopholes in the original drama.
For example, none of the agents are equipped with suicide weapons in case the incident is exposed, including the female agent who performed the assassination mission at the beginning, the old gun captain, and the old ghost Gu Xiaomeng. In the end, Xiaomeng wanted someone else to shoot him for him, which is not consistent with agents. actual.
Female agents carry out assassination missions at close range, basically leaving without any return, but without any prognostic measures.
After Gu Xiaomeng died, the organization sent people to secretly examine the body, check the clothes, and even the underwear, and discovered important information.
But after this female agent was caught, the organization ignored her. Neither her upline nor her downline checked to see if she had been killed or had surrendered to the enemy. All contact information remained the same. This difference itself was not like that of the same organization. Behavior.
Captain Wu will not have access to the cables from a procedural point of view. So why did you include the captain in the first place? The logic doesn't make sense.
Singing opera can meet comrades and transmit signals. Singing opera itself is such a particularly important and extremely important information. The rebellious comrades have even handed over the original information. Will they tell you this?
Why did Gu Xiaomeng identify the captain for the first time?
What?
This frame-up can definitely be an act. After identifying with Zhi at the beginning, he began to deliberately design the confrontation. From the frame-up report, to the quarrel, to the almost physical fight, it was correct from the strategic perspective of ensuring that everyone died.
However, all this is still logically unreasonable before the two people discuss countermeasures.
People from the small island country used a ruler to measure Li Ningyu's naked body and then believed the result without fail? What kind of high technology is this? It can still be explained that either Takeda is too confident in himself, or the director is too confused about the plot design.
There are many similar flaws. Just imagine that if the simplest female celebrity (gong) is pronounced as female celebrity (hong), it is not the responsibility of the actor alone, but the responsibility of the entire film production staff headed by the director.
There are many more minor flaws like this, and Liu Qingshan spent several nights fixing them one by one in the script. Naturally, Wang Ziwen couldn't find any major flaws.
Of course, the actors at that time also had many problems. For example, the actor who played Bai Xiaonian used too much force, and the actor who played Takeda was still as tepid as his real acting skills.
In this regard, Liu Qingshan had actually been trying to make corrections in the initial selection, which was why he personally went into battle and Liu Ye filled the vacancy.
All in all, he attaches great importance to this film. After all, this is his first directorial attempt in film art.
He even planned to try his best to influence the large number of scenes showing torture being deleted while the film was being sent for review.
Although he also knew that deletion was inevitable, retaining as much as possible would be important to what the entire film wanted to express.
Whoever Wang Ziwen is, he can naturally feel the reason why Liu Qingshan treats him so easily, but he doesn't care about this, because the young director is indeed too junior.
