When Zhang Chu met Li An for the first time, his strongest feeling was that he was different from the directors he had worked with before.
He looked more like the great scholars he had met before, quiet and wise.
The two chatted for a while first, which had nothing to do with the script and did not talk about character issues.
Li An just asked Zhang Chu about his previous experience and the movies he had filmed.
What do you think of the character A Fei?
It seems that Li An is more interested in Gu Long's novel than the work he is planning to complete.
Zhang Chu said simply, and Li An just nodded noncommittally.
This made Zhang Chu suddenly feel uneasy, but he quickly suppressed it.
He would never have cared so much about something before.
His good big brother Ding Xiu wouldn't even care.
This indifferent attitude aroused Li An's interest.
"Let's get down to business. Let's talk about the script. I don't give you much time to prepare. Let's just have a brief chat."
Only then did Zhang Chu understand that Li An had not met him until now to give him time to prepare the script.
"What do you think of Luo Xiaohu?"
Before listening to Zhang Ziyi's analysis, Zhang Chu would have thought that Luo Xiaohu was a simple, free and easy person, but now after his professional analysis, his understanding of Luo Xiaohu would naturally not be so shallow.
"It should be divided into two stages. Before meeting Yu Jiaolong, after meeting Yu Jiaolong, Luo Xiaohu was just like most people, with no purpose, acting freely and freely, doing whatever he wanted, unrestrained, But after meeting Yu Jiaolong, he had a desire in his heart."
I didn’t say too much, but for the same reason, the director’s understanding of the characters is far better than that of the actors, and if he talks too much, he will easily bore people.
"What about the love between two people?"
Zhang Chu blurted out: "An impulse born from youthful hormones, but it is not the real destination after all."
These were Zhang Ziyi's original words. Zhang Chu didn't understand what hormones were, but he agreed with Zhang Ziyi's views.
Luo Xiaohu, who was so passionate, could not put Yu Jiaolong's heart at ease.
Li An smiled faintly, as if he was unwilling to fully express his emotions, which always gave people a feeling of being mysterious.
"Actually, Yu Jiaolong loves Luo Xiaohu, but in her heart, love is not the first priority, spiritual sustenance is, and spiritual sustenance is not necessarily love."
Well……
Zhang Chu was stunned when he heard this. Is this metaphysics?
Li An then said: "Actually, what you said is not wrong. Everyone's understanding is different."
As expected, he is a great director, and his perspective is different.
"What do you think of these two characters, Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian?"
None of my business!
Although Zhang Chu was puzzled, he still tried to say it according to his own understanding: "It's too tiring to live and stick to the old rules. Yu Xiulian kept the engagement with Meng Sizhao and wasted Li Mubai's deep love. Likewise, Li Mubai is the same, thinking about his good brother in his heart, and never dares to face the person he loves."
Hearing what Zhang Chu said, Li An's expression finally became more lively.
Then he fell into silence again, and then he said after a while: "I have never settled on the character Luo Xiaohu, because I want to find someone, someone who will not admire Li Mubai after reading the original work or the script. I have met him before. After watching several actors, they all commented on Li Mubai as a great hero and a top figure. However, Luo Xiaohu should not admire Li Mubai. As you said, Li Mubai was too tired to live, no matter in the world. To return his feelings, Luo Xiaohu is completely different from him. He lives a free and easy life. When faced with the desires in his heart, he will bravely chase and rob him and will not be bound by any rules. This is a free person. If only To regard him as naive and childish only proves that you do not understand this character.”
Having said so much, what do you mean?
Li An was not in a hurry to give Zhang Chu an answer, but picked up the phone and called Yuan Heping.
"Let's go, Mr. Yuan has been telling me that your kung fu is very powerful, and I want to see it."
Zhang Chu heard this and knew in his heart that there was great hope for the character.
Otherwise, there is no need to see how good his kung fu is, and he can be eliminated directly after just talking.
As long as it comes to kung fu training, Zhang Chu is confident that in this regard, at least no one in the entertainment industry can be better than him.
In the badminton hall, Yuan Heping had arrived early, and Zhang Ziyi was also there.
This is a hard-working girl. She has no background in martial arts. Although she got the role, she must study hard and practice hard and put in her best efforts if she wants to perform well.
There was also a middle-aged man. After listening to Gu Xuanzhao's introduction, Zhang Chu knew that the other person was Zhou Runfa.
My original knowledge of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars was limited to Zhou Xingchi, Cheng Long, and the Four Heavenly Kings.
My impression of Zhou Runfa is that he is a bit fat.
Zhou Runfa just arrived today, and the reason why he came was entirely because of Yuan Heping.
I heard that an actor came to audition for Luo Xiaohu. I didn't care at first, but after hearing Yuan Heping praise Zhang Chu's good kung fu, I became curious.
It's rare to see someone praised by Yuan Heping for his kung fu.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Chu strolled to the center of the field.
Acting in martial arts is not like doing character analysis. Zhang Chu has some strong self-confidence.
He opened his stance, performed a simple lunge and punched, and then performed a set of punches that no one had seen before. Yuan Heping only felt that some of the moves were familiar, but the next move was exactly the same as the set of punches he remembered. It’s different.
I couldn't understand at all what kind of kung fu Zhang Chu was showing.
Each move was opened and closed with great force and freedom. Suddenly, Zhang Chu took a few steps to the weapon rack and reached out to take off the Miao knife.
Canglang...
The long sword was unsheathed, and a sword flower turned over in Zhang Chu's hand, and then a wave of sword shadows appeared before everyone's eyes.
People can't help but breathe faster and feel frightened when they look at it.
Even though Li An was in a calm mood, he couldn't help but take a step back.
Zhang Ziyi was even more secretly frightened. In the evening, she had watched Zhang Chu practice his sword skills and was already very surprised.
But now she knows that Zhang Chu was just warming up at that time, and the real strength was in front of him.
bass!
The Miao knife came out of his hand, and just when everyone was about to scream in surprise, they saw that the knife was firmly inserted into the scabbard.
Li An understood how good Yuan Heping's "exceptionally" kung fu was.
It has simply exceeded his imagination of traditional martial arts.
This was not over yet, Zhang Chu drew out a scimitar again, and what he was going to show next completely broke everyone's previous understanding.
Just imagine, when a person suddenly jumps three meters high in front of him, he can also use the force in the air to complete various actions.
The reaction of normal people is not just simple surprise, but...horror!
Is that human being?
Only then did Li An realize that he still had some misunderstandings about what Yuan Heping said about "very good".
What Yuan Heping said was completely different from what he understood.
The three words "extremely good" are no longer enough to describe Zhang Chu's kung fu. Instead, "terrifying" should be used.
Could this person have escaped from a martial arts novel?
Although he missed the mark, he was not far off.
Then, Zhang Chu put the scimitar back into its sheath and took off the carved bow.
It's a pity that I didn't prepare arrows, otherwise I would have to show them to everyone. What does it mean to pierce a poplar with a hundred steps?
But when Zhang Chu pulled the bow to a full circle, everyone was still stunned.
The coach who taught Zhang Ziyi once said that the bow was too heavy and ordinary people could not draw it at all.
But what does that count now?
Also, don’t you need to wear a finger guard when drawing a bow?
Luo Xiaohu is a desert bandit. His best skill is bow and arrow. Judging from Zhang Chu's posture, he is obviously a veteran.
After drawing the bow three times in a row, Zhang Chu seemed to still have something to say, and suddenly let out a loud roar.
Everyone only heard a "click" sound, and the bow bone was broken directly.
this……
They are not human at all. The earth is too dangerous. Go back where they came from.
Li An couldn't continue to pretend to be calm. Seeing Zhang Chu stop, he was the first to applaud.
The others then followed suit and clapped belatedly.
"Mr. Yuan, I understand now that what you said is completely different from what I thought."
Yuan Heping smiled dryly, but he was also shocked in his heart. It seemed that Zhang Chu still didn't show all his skills when he was on the set of "Little Li Flying Knife".
"Zhang Chu, can you ride a horse?"
Li An asked the last question. Although he didn't understand martial arts, he could still see that Zhang Chu's abilities, let alone the entertainment industry, should be at the pinnacle of martial arts.
Moreover, the boxing and sword skills that Zhang Chu just practiced seemed to be prepared for the character Luo Xiaohu.
Luo Xiaohu in the story comes from the grassland and desert. His martial arts come from the accumulation of life and death battles for many years. He has no sect, no sect, and no trace to be found.
What Zhang Chu performed was exactly in line with Luo Xiaohu's character setting.
Li An couldn't say he was satisfied, it should be impeccable.
The only thing he cares about now is Zhang Chu's riding skills.
"It's like walking on flat ground."
Zhang Chu is not boasting. In the past, there were no cars, trains, or airplanes. People could only rely on the power of horses to travel long distances.
As a royal guard, Zhang Chu often goes out on business and cannot travel on his own two legs.
Even compared with those Tatars who live on horseback all year round, his riding skills are by no means inferior.
When Li An heard this, he immediately made up his mind. He had a good understanding of the characters and had acting experience. Yuan Heping highly recommended it. In addition, with such terrifying real kung fu, there was nothing to criticize.
But when the words came to his lips, Li An still held back, called his assistant, and gave a few instructions.
Then he said to everyone: "I will ask someone to contact the nearby horse farm, and let's go and relax together tomorrow."
He said he was going to relax, but everyone knew that Li An wanted to experience what Zhang Chu called "walking on flat ground."
Everyone dispersed, leaving only Zhang Chu and Zhang Ziyi who were preparing to continue practicing.
"Thank you for what happened today."
Without Zhang Ziyi's help in analysis, Zhang Chu might not have had the chance to impress Li An with his skills.
Zhang Ziyi smiled lightly: "When the role is decided, it won't be too late for you to come and thank me."
As he spoke, he waved the long sword in his hand and started practicing again.
Zhang Chu looked at it and felt that it would be too insincere to just say a few words of thanks.
Maybe I can do something to return the favor.
He also doesn't want to owe anyone else, especially a woman.
