After talking about work matters, Tan Yue looked at Zhou Can and said, "I heard that you and Ma Guoliang often drink together recently?"
When Zhou Can heard this, he scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn't like drinking very much before, but he had encountered too many things recently, so he would ask Ma Guoliang to have a drink with him from time to time.
Unknowingly, he gradually found that drinking wine felt good, and he thought that when the fever got better this time, he would go and have another drink with Ma Guoliang.
"Drink some sometimes." Zhou Can said.
Tan Yue nodded and said: "Be careful. You can't drink all the time. It's okay to drink once in a while, but drinking too often is not good for your health. Especially you who are actors have very high requirements on physical fitness. You have to pay attention."
Zhou Can nodded heavily and said, "Yeah, I understand, Mr. Tan, I will drink less in the future."
Tan Yue smiled, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said: "Actually, you can have normal social interactions and rest, but you have to pay attention to the scale, and our new movie will start shooting soon, so you can You can’t drink anymore, Ah Can, and you know my rules. During the filming of the movie, you can’t drink without special reasons.”
Zhou Can said: "I understand, Mr. Tan."
Tan Yue has always had high requirements for the quality of movies, and drinking alcohol during the filming process will affect the shooting effect and process, so unless the entire crew takes a break, drinking is generally not allowed.
Tan Yue put down his tea cup and said: "Acan, Ma Guoliang has a dull personality. It is difficult for most people to deal with him. It's beyond my expectation that you can speculate with him. But I think the most important thing is that you two are together. We learn from each other and make progress, and you should also learn more from him on how to perform well."
Tan Yue values Zhou Can very much. He wants to promote this person as the king of comedy like Stephen Chow, but this also places high demands on Zhou Can himself. He must be self-disciplined and he must continue to learn.
Based on Tan Yue's current understanding of Zhou Can, he can do all of this, but the premise is that he does not go wrong in the process.
After trying "The King of Comedy", Tan Yue already knows that the world's film market can also accept the comedy style of nonsensical style. Then, next, he can use Zhou Can as the protagonist to shoot many classic comedy movies of nonsensical style.
If Zhou Can himself does not suffer from thunderstorms, Tan Yue is confident that he will be promoted to a high position.
After giving Zhou Can some advice, Tan Yue asked Zhou Can to leave.
After Zhou Can left, Tan Yue stood up and walked to the window and looked outside for a while. After his eyes felt much better, Tan Yue withdrew his gaze and walked behind the desk again to sit down.
The next movie to be filmed has been determined to be "Kung Fu", so Tan Yue's main goal now is to complete the script of "Kung Fu" as soon as possible.
...
...
On the other side, Zhou Can came out of Tan Yue's office. Instead of going back to his own office, he walked towards Ma Guoliang's office.
Arriving outside Ma Guoliang's office, Zhou Can raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Soon, Ma Guoliang's voice came from the door, "Please come in."
Zhou Can pushed the door open and walked into the office. He saw Ma Guoliang sitting behind the desk unpacking the express delivery, with a bunch of other things next to him.
Zhou Can walked over and asked, "Brother Ma, what are you doing? Bought a computer?"
Ma Guoliang shook his head and explained with a smile: "This is not a computer, it is used for drawing. Nowadays, many students in the Academy of Fine Arts use this thing, so I bought one."
Zhou Can was confused: "Brother Ma, do you want to learn to draw?"
Ma Guoliang said with a smile: "As an actor, why should I learn painting? I think our industry should know more about the human body and how to give the best performance effect to the audience, so I want to buy a painting like this." Use a tablet to practice drawing human bodies.”
Hearing what Ma Guoliang said, Zhou Can was immediately in awe.
He never thought that he could improve his acting skills so much.
Moreover, Ma Guoliang's idea also opened a novel door for him.
"Yes, this can help us better understand the human body." Zhou Can said in wonder, "I am also considering whether to buy a set of this kind of equipment."
Ma Guoliang smiled and said: "Okay, I will send you the link to this thing later. If you want to buy it, you can place an order directly online."
After finishing speaking, Ma Guoliang looked at Zhou Can while assembling the drawing board in his hand and asked: "How is your health? The fever is close to 39 degrees. This is not low. You are feeling better so soon?"
Zhou Can laughed and said, "Isn't that right? I am in high spirits on happy occasions now. The cold and fever are just drizzle. I am completely recovered now."
Ma Guoliang did not believe in evil, so he stood up and walked to Zhou Can. He stretched out his hand and touched Zhou Can's forehead, saying: "You are obviously talking nonsense. Your head is still hot, but the temperature is not that high anymore. It should be already It’s coming down.”
Zhou Can smiled and said: "Maybe I still have a little fever, but I really don't feel uncomfortable anymore."
Ma Guoliang raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhou Can, and said, "Why don't you feel uncomfortable anymore? You just said that people are in high spirits during happy events. Tell me, what did you do in Mr. Tan's office?"
After saying that, Ma Guoliang added: "It depends on the situation. If it involves the company's secrets, don't tell me anymore."
Zhou Can said: "There are indeed some secrets, but it should not be a big deal. You will all know it in a few days."
Ma Guoliang asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Can chuckled and said, "It's about Mr. Tan's new movie."
"Has Mr. Tan's new movie been released?" Ma Guoliang raised his eyebrows.
He knew before that Zhou Can was called to the office by Mr. Tan, and Ma Guoguo had a suspicion in his mind that it should be about the new movie.
Zhou Can nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Tan told me about the new movie. It is still the same style as "The King of Comedy", a nonsensical comedy style."
Ma Guoliang smiled and said: "Is it the protagonist or you?"
Zhou Can nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Ma, you guessed it."
Ma Guoliang laughed and said, "You still need to guess?"
"Tsk tsk, that's you. Others can't even get a role in Mr. Tan's movies, but you can play the leading role in Mr. Tan's movies consecutively. Zhou Can, this is a rare opportunity. You must take it. Take advantage of it." Ma Guoliang said with emotion.
I don’t know how many people envied Zhou Can when he played the leading role in "The King of Comedy". You can imagine how big a stir will be caused in the circle once the news comes out that Zhou Can will be the protagonist in Mr. Tan’s new movie. What about the wind and waves?
Although there were actors who played important roles in TV series and movies directed by Mr. Tan in the past, things are different now.
Mr. Tan has made rapid progress, especially the emergence of three consecutive blockbuster movies, which directly established Mr. Tan's supreme status in the director world.
As long as you can get a good role in Mr. Tan's movie, you are very likely to become famous. Zhou Can in front of you is a clear example.
In the past, how many people knew Zhou Can.
Even Ma Guoliang, who has a relatively indifferent character, is filled with envy for Zhou Can's great luck.
...
...
In the next few days, everything went on in an orderly manner.
Tan Yue was handling the company's affairs while making preliminary preparations for "Kung Fu".
While he was writing the script for "Kung Fu", he was also thinking about how to convey the various spirits in "Kung Fu" to the audience.
Tan Yue admires the movie "Kung Fu" very much. He thinks it is an extremely classic commercial blockbuster.
This movie left a deep impression on Tan Yue. Rather than saying it is Stephen Chow's most accomplished movie, Tan Yue feels that even if the history of Chinese films is reviewed, this is one of the best comedy films.
First of all, let’s not talk about the comedy content of the movie “Kung Fu”. From the perspective of expression techniques and narrative methods, the artistry of this film is very high. In addition, the core of this movie is also quite deep. This form of kung fu can completely rise to the level of national spirit, and director Stephen Chow has transformed it into philosophical thoughts, what is kung fu, and what is a strong person.
Secondly, from a comedy perspective, the world view of this movie is very complicated, but it is also consistent with common sense. Although there are many martial arts plots in it, it is still acceptable. But the characters in it are always full of all kinds of "neurosis", which is also the basis of the movie's laughter. It can be said that there are no normal people in terms of thinking throughout the movie.
Compared with Stephen Chow's other works, this film can be said to have completely left behind all the previously used elements and started fresh.
The most successful aspect of this movie is that Stephen Chow changed the plot that was used to be comedic to exaggerated and absurd. And this exaggeration is entirely based on the director's personal thoughts.
Thinking of this, a picture emerged in Tan Yue's mind:
The part where Stephen Chow and his wife are competing. In order to highlight the speed of the two, compared with cars, they are mediocre. Instead, their legs turned into hot wheels and the knives on their bodies turned into rear-view mirrors. This is what people are talking about. As for this kind of plot, the only reference that Tan Yue can think of is "Tom and Jerry". It makes sense that unexpectedness is the best explanation.
And then the charterer made a diving motion and threw the billboard, and so many things collapsed. Even if you can imagine that something will come out, you can't imagine that it will create a goddess-like effect, including underwear.
Tan Yue scrolled the mouse and looked at the plot he had written before. The beginning was an introduction to the movie: The background of the movie is set in the Magic City in the 1920s and 1930s. The entire society is filled with an atmosphere of depression and panic. The illegal organizations headed by the Ax Gang represent power and social ethos. At the same time, there is a group of people who choose to succumb to reality and live in a place called Zhulong Village, which is a representative of the poor class. Most of them do manual labor with extremely low productivity, but they also have another identity, recluses with high martial arts skills.
After a slight hesitation, Tan Yue added a parenthesis at the end of the text and made a one-sentence summary: The innocent protagonist went into darkness due to a scam since he was a child. After some things and self-struggle, he accidentally acquired martial arts and became a master of martial arts. On the road of self-salvation by punishing rape and eradicating evil.
Tan Yue thought about the plot of the movie. At first glance, the plot seemed very vulgar, but in fact, every shot in the feature film was not vulgar and was a classic scene.
At the beginning of the film, there is a plot of throwing an ax to chop off a leg, but the use of the lens has a sense of beautification. There is also a place that Tan Yue thinks is very exciting. After the leader of the Crocodile Gang takes over the lunch box, the director tries to explain why the Ax Gang can Doing what you want could have been done in a straightforward manner, which would have been a bit boring but still calm. But through a few shots, the audience learned something about the Ax Gang.
Siluke
They control the police, often use violent methods, engage in illegal industries, and have strong economic power. These scenes are interspersed with a dance, which is simply a stroke of genius.
Tan Yue continued to slide the mouse and check the script he had written. When he saw something he thought was wonderful, he would stop and read it very slowly, or even make major changes. A good script must be carefully crafted. .
There was also a scene that made Tan Yue feel particularly comfortable. After Ah Xing hit Huoyun Evil God hard with a wooden stake, he was pressed to the ground and rubbed by him.
The evil god asked: Why do you want to hit me?
At this time, Ah Xing was hit several times with fatal injuries and his head sank into the ground. The audience did not know whether he was dead or alive. He slowly picked up the small wooden stick next to him and hit the evil god on the face again. This knock not only broke the evil spirit's self-esteem, but also touched the ceiling of Chinese comedy. The film has since risen to a new level.
Tan Yue believes that this clip combines all comedy expression techniques. Nonsensical, black humor, tragicomedy, are all integrated into this little wooden stick, putting the audience into an embarrassing situation that both feels cruel and has to hold back laughter.
Before I knew it, I had reached the end of the script.
This is an extremely superb fight scene!
Fire Cloud Evil God was finally defeated by the protagonist Axing, but in fact, it was only the last sentence that really defeated Fire Cloud Evil God.
"If you want to learn, I'll teach you."
After carefully studying the script, Tan Yue discovered that what Stephen Chow really wanted to express in this sentence was that force cannot solve problems. Attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top. When Huoyun Evil God knelt on the ground and said these three words, "I lost," he was truly convinced.
Tan Yue read through it bit by bit.
He spent the whole afternoon revising the script of "Kung Fu".
This modification will continue for two weeks until he can no longer find the problem.
Nowadays, people inside and outside the circle say that Tan Yue is extremely capable of making movies, but what many people don’t know is that the reason why Tan Yue is able to make movies so well is because the movies he shoots are based on his attitude of striving for excellence. above.
