Chapter 762 Core

After talking about work, Tan Yue looked at Zhou Can and said, "I heard that you and Ma Guoliang have been drinking together recently?"

Zhou Can scratched his head a little embarrassedly. 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 from time to time.

Unconsciously, he slowly found that drinking felt good, and he was thinking about asking Ma Guoliang to have another drink after the fever was cured.

"Sometimes drink a little." 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 frequently is not good for your health, especially for actors like you. You have to pay attention to your physical fitness."

Zhou Can nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I know, Mr. Tan, I will drink less in the future."

Tan Yue smiled, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "In fact, normal socializing and rest are all possible, but you must pay attention to the scale. Besides, our new movie will start shooting soon. You can't drink at that time. Ah Can, you also 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 the movie, and the actors drinking during the filming process will affect the filming effect and progress, so unless the entire crew takes a holiday to rest, drinking is generally not allowed.

Tan Yue put down the teacup and said, "Ah Can, Ma Guoliang is a dull person. It's hard for most people to deal with him. I didn't expect you to get along with him. But I think the most important thing for you two to be together is to learn from each other and make progress. You should also learn from him how to act well."

Tan Yue thinks highly of Zhou Can. He wants to make this person a comedy king like Stephen Chow, but this also requires a lot from Zhou Can himself. He needs to be self-disciplined and keep learning.

Based on Tan Yue's current understanding of Zhou Can, he can do all these, but the premise is that he doesn't go astray in the process.

After the attempt of "The King of Comedy", Tan Yue already knows that the film market in this world can also accept the comedy style of nonsense. Then, he can use Zhou Can as the protagonist and shoot many classic comedy movies in the style of nonsense.

If Zhou Can himself does not have a thunderbolt situation, Tan Yue is confident that he can hold him to a very high position.

After giving Zhou Can some advice, Tan Yue let Zhou Can leave.

After Zhou Can left, Tan Yue stood up and walked to the window to look outside for a while. After feeling much more comfortable, Tan Yue retracted his gaze and sat down behind the desk again.

The next movie to be filmed has been confirmed 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 and did not return to his own office, but 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, "Come in."

Zhou Can pushed the door and walked into the office, just seeing Ma Guoliang sitting behind the desk unpacking a package, with a bunch of other things next to him.

Zhou Can walked over and asked, "Brother Ma, what are you doing? Did you buy a computer?"

Ma Guoliang shook his head and explained with a smile, "This is not a computer, it's for drawing. Many students in the Academy of Fine Arts use this thing now, so I bought one."

Zhou Can was puzzled: "Brother Ma, do you want to learn to draw?"

Ma Guoliang smiled and said, "Why should I, an actor, learn to draw? I think we should know more about the human body and how to show the best performance to the audience, so I want to buy a drawing tablet like this to practice drawing the human body."

Hearing Ma Guoliang say this, Zhou Can was immediately in awe.

He had never thought that he could improve his acting skills in this way.

And Ma Guoliang's idea also opened a new door for him.

"Yes, this can help us better understand the human body." Zhou Can said in amazement, "I am also considering whether to buy a set of such equipment."

Ma Guoliang smiled and said, "Okay, I will send you the link of this thing later. If you want to buy it, you can directly place an order online."

After that, Ma Guoliang assembled the drawing board in his hand while looking at Zhou Can and asked, "How are you? The fever is close to 39 degrees, which is not low. You got better so quickly?"

Zhou Can laughed and said, "That's right, I am in a good mood now. The cold and fever are just drizzle. I am completely cured now."

Ma Guoliang didn't believe it, so he stood up and walked to Zhou Can, stretched out his hand and touched Zhou Can's forehead, and said : "You are obviously talking nonsense. Your head is still hot, but the temperature is not that high. It should have dropped." Zhou Can smiled and said, "Maybe it is still a little hot, 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? You just said that people are in high spirits when they are happy. Tell me, what did you do in Mr. Tan's office?" After that, Ma Guoliang said, "It depends on the situation. If it is related to the company's secrets, don't tell me anymore." Zhou Can said, "There are indeed some secrets, but it should be no big deal. You will all know it in a few days." Ma Guoliang said, "What is it?" Zhou Can smiled and said, "It's about Mr. Tan's new movie."

"Is Mr. Tan's new movie settled?" Ma Guoliang raised his eyebrows.

Before, he knew that Zhou Can was called to Mr. Tan's office, and Ma Guoliang had guessed 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 in the same style as "The King of Comedy", a nonsensical comedy style."

Ma Guoliang laughed and said, "Is it you who will be the protagonist?"

Zhou Can smiled and nodded, saying, "Brother Ma, you guessed it."

Ma Guoliang laughed and said, "Do you still need to guess?"

"Tsk tsk, it's you. Others can't get a role in Mr. Tan's movie, but you can play the protagonist in Mr. Tan's movie. Zhou Can, this is a rare opportunity, you must seize it." Ma Guoliang said with some emotion.

Before, Zhou Can played the protagonist in "The King of Comedy", and I don't know how many people envied him. It can be imagined that when the news that Mr. Tan's new movie is still Zhou Can's protagonist spreads, I don't know how much waves it will cause in the circle.

Although there were actors who played important roles in the TV series and movies directed by Mr. Tan before, it is different now.

Mr. Tan has made great progress, especially the appearance of three consecutive hit movies, which directly established Mr. Tan's supreme position in the director industry.

As long as you can get a good role in Mr. Tan's movie, you are likely to become popular again. Zhou Can in front of you is a vivid example.

In the past, how many people knew Zhou Can?

Even Ma Guoliang, who has a relatively indifferent personality, envied Zhou Can's great luck.

In the next few days, everything went on in an orderly manner.

While handling the company's affairs, Tan Yue made preliminary preparations for "Kung Fu".

While he was writing the script of "Kung Fu", he was also considering the various spirits in "Kung Fu" and how to convey them to the audience.

Tan Yue highly praised the movie "Kung Fu". He believed that it was an extremely classic commercial blockbuster.

This movie left a deep impression on Tan Yue. Rather than saying that it is Stephen Chow's most accomplished movie, Tan Yue feels that even if the history of Chinese-language movies is opened, this is also one of the best comedy movies.

First of all, let's not talk about the comedy element of the movie "Kung Fu". From the perspective of expression and narrative, the artistry of this movie is very high. In addition, the core of this movie is also quite profound. Kung Fu as a form can be completely elevated to the level of national spirit, and director Stephen Chow has transformed it into philosophical thought, what is Kung Fu, what is a strong man.

Secondly, from the perspective of comedy, the worldview of this movie is very complicated, but it is also in line with common sense. Although there are many plots of martial arts novels in it, it is acceptable. But the characters in it are always full of various "neurosis", which is also the basis of the movie's laughs. It can be said that there are no normal people in the whole movie.

Compared with Stephen Chow's other works, this movie can be said to have completely thrown away all the elements that have been used before and refreshed it.

The most successful part of this movie is that Stephen Chow changed the plots that were used to make comedy in the past into exaggerated and absurd treatments. Moreover, this exaggeration is entirely based on the director's personal ideas.

Thinking of this, a picture emerged in Tan Yue's mind:

The part where Stephen Chow and the landlady raced. In order to highlight the speed of the two, the comparison with the car was rather dull. Instead, their legs became hot wheels and the knives stuck in their bodies became rearview mirrors, which was what people talked about. For this kind of plot, the only reference that Tan Yue could think of was "Tom and Jerry". Reasonable, unexpected is the best explanation.

And then the landlady fell to the billboard with a diving action and so many things burst out at once. Even if you can imagine something coming out, you can't imagine it will create an effect of a fairy scattering flowers, including underwear.

Tan Yue slid the mouse and looked at the plot he had written before. At the beginning, it was a text introduction about this movie: the background of the movie was set in the Magic City in the 1920s and 1930s. The whole society was filled with an atmosphere of depression and panic. The illegal organization headed by the Axe Gang represented power and social atmosphere. At the same time, there is another group of people who choose to succumb to reality and live in a place called Zhulongzhai, which is the representative of the poor class. Most of them do physical labor with extremely low production efficiency, but they have another identity, a hermit with strong martial arts skills.

After a little hesitation, Tan Yue added a bracket after the main text and summarized it in one sentence: The protagonist, who has been simple since childhood, went to the dark because of a scam. After some things and self-struggle, he accidentally learned martial arts and embarked on the road of self-salvation by punishing evil.

Tan Yue pondered the plot of the movie. At first glance, the plot is very vulgar, but in fact, every shot in the feature film is not vulgar, but a classic scene.

At the beginning of the film, there is a plot of throwing an axe to chop off the 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 died, the director could have explained why the Axe Gang could do whatever they wanted. Although it is a bit dull, it is also calm. But through a few shots, the audience can get to know some of the Axe Gang's situations.

They control the police, often use violence, engage in illegal industries, and have strong economic strength. These shots are interspersed with a dance, which is simply a stroke of genius.

Tan Yue continued to slide the mouse and check the script he wrote. 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 is another clip that makes Tan Yue feel particularly comfortable. After Ah Xing hit the Fire Cloud Evil God with a wooden stake, he was pressed to the ground by the latter.

The evil god asked: Why do you want to hit me?

At this time, Ah Xing, who had been fatally injured several times and whose head had sunk into the ground, did not know whether he was dead or alive. He slowly picked up the small wooden stick next to him and knocked the evil god's face again. This knock not only hurt the evil god's self-esteem, but also touched the ceiling of Chinese comedy. The film has since sublimated to a new height.

Tan Yue believes that this clip combines all the performance techniques of comedy. Nonsense, black humor, tragedy and comedy are all integrated into this small wooden stick, which puts the audience in an awkward situation where they feel cruel but have to hold back their laughter.

Before they knew it, the script had reached the end.

This is an extremely exquisite fight scene!

The Fire Cloud Evil God was eventually defeated by the protagonist Ah Xing, but in fact, it was only the last sentence that really defeated the Fire Cloud Evil God.

"If you want to learn, I will teach you."

After carefully studying the script, Tan Yue discovered what Stephen Chow really wanted to express in this sentence, that force cannot solve the problem, attacking the city is inferior, and attacking the heart is superior. When the Fire Cloud Evil God knelt on the ground and said the three words "I lost", he was really convinced.

Tan Yue flipped through it bit by bit.

He spent a whole afternoon revising the script of "Kung Fu".

This revision would last for two weeks until he could not find the problem.

Now people in and out of the circle say that Tan Yue is very good at making movies, but what many people don’t know is that the reason why Tan Yue can make such good movies is because the movies he shoots are based on his attitude of striving for perfection.
