Chapter 438 Is This a Joke?
Lin Xing talked a lot with action director Guo Teng when filming "For Whom the Bell Tolls", or asked Guo Teng a lot.
Because of this, in the TV series "The Bell Tolls", Lin Xing did a lot of beautiful action scenes, and many people even thought that he was too desperate.
Many times, many people present were still puzzled, and even some actors wondered why Lin Xing was like this?
Why do you have to work so hard to shoot a TV series? ?
Of course, Lin Xing didn't think he was working so hard, what kind of hard work is this? ?
When did normal work become "working hard"? ?
Of course, if you compare it with some people who "break their skin" and market "acting is a high-risk industry", then Lin Xing is indeed working hard.
But as the Olympic champion said, who doesn't work hard?
Everyone does their best for the work they like, and they don't feel tired, they just feel happy.
Because of this, Lin Xing really learned a lot from Guo Teng, and Guo Teng even thought that with Lin Xing's skills, he could definitely shoot action movies in the future.
At that time, Guo Teng mentioned Li Jing, because Li Jing was the most handsome and cool action film director.
As a leading figure in domestic martial arts directors, Li Jing is also a school of his own. He has made many superstars famous, and even made Kung Fu Emperor Chen Sheng famous, because basically all of Chen Sheng’s representative works were directed by Li Jing.
All the cool actions that Chen Sheng did were designed by Li Jing.
Kung Fu films are not good now. Even Kung Fu Emperor Chen Sheng has started to retire after making bad films. As for other action film successors, none of them have box office appeal.
Li Jing lost a big bet.
Even at this age, Li Jing himself has seen through it. There is really no market for kung fu films, and action films also have no box office.
Just like that, Li Jing heard that Lin Xing was going to practice with other students in the "Jingwu Hall" for a month. Does he think this is necessary? ?
"Oh? Really?"
As for Li Jing, he didn't care much when he heard Lin Xing say that he actually had a martial arts foundation.
You have to know that Li Jing is a martial arts instructor. When they were young, they fought very hard. It was normal for many martial arts instructors to break their arms and legs.
Many martial arts instructors really risk their lives to work. Because of this, many martial arts instructors earn a lot, but they also spend a lot. They almost gamble or go for health care after work on the set.
At that time, the protection measures on the set were also poor. Many times, most people would just rush after the martial arts director said something.
So Li Jing often said that it was easy to produce fierce people in those days, but the environment was really high-risk. He felt that the current environment was responsible for the actors and the crew.
But sometimes they are too good to the actors, especially some popular actors who really use doubles for all action scenes, but also use doubles for literary scenes.
Li Jing really can't stand this. He had criticized it when he was in the crew before, but the general environment was like this, so Li Jing simply turned to teaching students behind the scenes after his own failure.
But he never expected that when Li Jing was no longer planning to film, he would meet Lin Xing.
Lin Xing's requirements were not just to make do, he actually asked to train himself hard.
Action directors often need to set moves, and many moves need to be set well, just like when Li Jing helped Chen Sheng design the moves.
"Tomorrow, our students will rehearse action scenes, you can take a look at it first then..."
Li Jing was still prepared to weigh Lin Xing's skills before speaking, and because Li Jing had not watched "Death Bell" much, he was prepared to watch it first.
In this "Death Bell", Lin Xing mostly used his brain to solve problems, but there were also a few highlight action scenes.
These highlight action scenes were not unfamiliar to Li Jing, because Guo Teng's action director learned from Li Jing.
In the evening, Li Jing roughly watched Lin Xing's famous scenes in "Death Bell", and he called Guo Teng again.
"Mr. Li..."
Guo Teng was a little shocked when he received Li Jing's call. After all, they all knew that Li Jing did not like to be disturbed by friends or apprentices, so basically he never took the initiative to call.
Guo Teng was really shocked when he suddenly received a call from Li Jing.
"Guo Teng, you were the action director of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" before. What do you think of Lin Xing's action scenes?"
Li Jing said directly: "Tell the truth, don't make those empty words."
Although Guo Teng didn't know why Li Jing asked about Lin Xing, he still said his opinion verbatim.
"If we only talk about action talent, Lin Xing has a certain action talent, and I think it may be because he has been practicing dancing since he was a child. He is still relatively sensitive. At this age, he can do some dangerous actions but not stiff..."
Guo Teng thought for a while and said: "As for other aspects, Lin Xing is really strong. Really, I have worked with many actors and met many action stars, but none of them is like Lin Xing. He is not the best at fighting, but his talent is the best. He even practices to the extreme over and over again. There are too few actors who work so hard in the past two years..."
In a word, it really depends on peers to set off.
Li Jing nodded gently: "Then I understand."
Guo Teng asked with some anticipation: "Mr. Li, are you ready to go out? Lin Xing recently said that he is planning to shoot a science fiction movie, and there are many action scenes in this movie. Did Lin Xing invite you to be the action director? ?”
"No, okay, let's do this for now, I have something else to do."
Li Jing said and hung up the phone.
"Hello??"
Guo Teng didn't have any objection to Li Jing hanging up the phone when he said it. After all, this was Li Jing's character.
He was just curious why Li Jing suddenly asked Lin Xing?
Who would believe this without cooperation? ?
At the same time, Lin Xing was drinking tea with Situ Hui's family.
"Axing, do you think there is any role suitable for Feng Qing in "Death on Earth"??"
Situ Hui smiled at Lin Xing and asked, "There is no need for a big role, as long as there is a role."
In the past two years, Situ Hui has also seen clearly that his son is too ugly, not only ugly but also featureless, so he really can't play the leading role.
If that's the case, then just mix slowly in this circle.
What if you can wait until you are in your 40s to join the uncle circle? ?
After all, these uncle actors who are now over 40 years old did not look very good when they were young.
Feng Qing has gained a certain reputation since "Reinventing the Actor", and his CP with Wu Shiyan has also accumulated a lot of fans.
In addition, Feng Qing really let go of his bitch personality and started to work hard and be down-to-earth. As a result, everyone didn't hate him so much.
After all, there are too many second-generation celebrities in this entertainment industry, and Feng Qing really may not be ranked among them.
"Sister Hui, it's still early for my movie. It's just in the preparation stage now. It's okay if Xiaoqing wants to act in it, but this movie is for everyone to watch, don't worry?"
Lin Xing asked with a relaxed expression.
“What the outside world doesn’t know???”
Situ Hui said angrily: "Sister, I'm optimistic about you. Besides, even if this movie is really a hit, it won't be able to blame Xiao Qing..."
It was obvious that Situ Hui was already familiar with Lin Xing, so his words were also straightforward.
"Brother Xing, which role are you going to let me play?"
Feng Qing could not hold back anymore and said: "And Brother Xing, let me tell you, after thirty years of separation, you should be impressed by the fact that my acting skills now are three points better than those in "Reshaping the Actor"... "
have to.
Feng Qing still had the same taste when he opened his mouth.
"Speak carefully, your acting skills are simply not good enough in front of Ah Xing."
Feng Wei gave Feng Qing a hard slap on the head and said: "Be serious."
"What are you doing???"
Situ Hui was a little unhappy now. After all, she still loved her son. She said angrily: "What did our Xiaoqing say wrong? Is his acting skills getting better and better???"
"Just get used to it. Where is he now? Look at him, his tail is almost up to the sky now."
Feng Wei said helplessly.
have to.
This family of three does not seem to have changed much.
A mother who loves her baby, a helpless dad, and a baby who feels good about himself.
A family of three, very neat.
"Okay, stop arguing and talk about our son."
Situ Hui could still tell which end was light and which was heavy, so she looked directly at Lin Xing and asked: "So, Ah Xing, is there really a role suitable for Xiao Qing???"
Lin Xing smiled and said: "Yes, there are. After all, there are so many characters. Sister Hui, have you read the original work of "Death on Earth"??"
Situ Hui was stunned: "I really haven't seen it because I'm not very interested in science fiction."
Seeing Lin Xing looking at him, Feng Wei quickly shook his head: "I haven't seen it either."
"Don't look at me. I like fantasy, fairy tales, and 'entertainment literature,' but I don't like science fiction."
Feng Qing also said that he had not seen it.
"Then you go back and read the original work, and then I will give you the script and you can read it..."
Lin Xing said with a smile: "Of course, I will mark the roles that have been decided. For the other roles, you can see which one you can play first??"
There is really no shortage of small roles in "Death on Earth" now. Lin Xing thinks Feng Qing has no problem with these small roles.
What's more important is that I just told Situ Hui that it doesn't matter if Feng Qing wants to act in "Dead on Earth", it doesn't matter if he plays a role with more roles.
But the key is to act it well, or to say it appropriately.
"good."
Feng Qing nodded lightly.
As for Situ Hui, she didn't expect Lin Xing to give face to Lin Xing like this. She even felt that she should persuade Li Jing tomorrow no matter what, so that he should still give Lin Xing some face.
Yes.
Li Jing is a strict teacher. Many people think that Situ Hui is more strict, but compared with Li Jing, he really pales in comparison.
The most important thing is that Li Jing does have this qualification. He is really far ahead in action guidance.
Therefore, Situ Hui's mention of Li Jing's character can be regarded as a vaccination for Lin Xing.
"Sister Hui, it's okay."
Lin Xing waved his hand slightly and said: "I'm here for special training, not to gain reputation. Why don't I want to be held in the hands of Mr. Li??"
After hearing what Lin Xing said, Situ Hui said nothing more.
The next day, Jingwu Hall, training hall.
"Let me introduce to you first..."
In front of this group of 20 people, Situ Hui clapped his hands and said, "You may all know this guy. He is Lin Xing. He will study with everyone next..."
Those who can come to [Jingwu Hall] basically have the dream of becoming a star, or even think that they can succeed.
How could these people not know Lin Xing? ?
"Oh my God, it's Lin Xing??"
"Oh my god, I thought Lin Xing was here to be a mentor, but he is here to be a student??"
"No, what the hell is this??"
...
Obviously, everyone was quite confused at this time.
You know, Lin Xing is quite far away from them, but now Lin Xing and they are in the same group, so naturally they are quite excited.
"Hello everyone, I am Lin Xing, I hope we can all study together in the next two months..."
Lin Xing said this after Situ Hui finished introducing.
This [Jingwu Hall] generally trains students for half a year, and this batch of students has been trained for 4 months.
Unlike other training schools, this [Jingwu Hall] not only trains students, but also introduces some crews to students.
Although Li Jing failed, he still has some face after all.
Moreover, each batch of students are potential actors in action movies, so Li Jing thought that he would give them some opportunities.
Each batch of students will shoot a short film together, which will be premiered for the industry.
This can also be regarded as promoting actors.
At present, the students of this batch are basically still in training, that is, they will not shoot short films for the time being. They are doing various exercises, practicing acting and action.
Not only knives, but also guns, sticks, etc.
"I don't like Mr. Chen the most, because Mr. Chen's actions are cool and even a little fairy-like, but those are all required to set moves, and each move must be practiced several times..."
Li Jing said to the crowd.
This is why Li Jing is qualified to say so.
If other people dared to comment on the Kung Fu Emperor like this, they would have been scolded to death long ago.
And Li Jing said to the crowd: "So you remember that action movie actors often need to rely on action directors, but you can also think of some actions by yourself. Not only that, action actors also need to work harder on the lines..."
It has to be said that what Li Jing said is the truth.
"We are all action actors. If you are better at drama, you have an advantage."
"We are all action actors. If you are good at fighting, you have an advantage."
"Of course, we need to fight harder."
...
This class is just a cultural class, and the next step is practice. According to Li Jing, it is to test Lin Xing's depth first.
After all, Guo Teng said that Lin Xing is not bad.
As a result, Li Jing was really shocked by this test.
