Wang Toyota was still worried at first. After listening to Han Chuning's introduction, he simply broke the tank and sighed: "Forget it, winning or losing doesn't matter, it's just the show..."
"The performance of the first phase has been quite impressive, and it would be exaggerated to continue to win like this!" Wang Toyota quickly adjusted his mood, but he took the lead in comforting him, only to move out the "Calm Peace" emoji package at this time. .
Wang Toyota has no expectations for the police and bandit short films, and even Hou Shenyue himself feels the pressure. He completely listened to Chu Xiaxing's advice when filming, but he seemed a little trembling, as if he couldn't let go.
Chu Xiaxing said in surprise: "When we filmed "Wu Dao", you weren't so nervous? Didn't we all communicate well at the time?"
Hou Shenyue was free in the later stages of the "Wu Dao" crew, and he occasionally expressed his opinions, but he was not a completely mindless actor.
Hou Shenyue said helplessly: "But this time against Teacher Qi, it feels different..."
Qi Yanbang is the video emperor. He was invited by Gong Zhan to help out. He is a professional in police and bandit movies. Audiences go to the past Hong Kong police and gangster films, and they can always find him in them, both the protagonist and the supporting role.
Chu Xiaxing joked: "To put it bluntly, you just think that Xiao Cao and Lulu are not worthy. You are nervous against the TV Emperor now, and you can relax when filming with them!"
Hou Shen scratched his head in embarrassment, and he quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, but Teacher Qi is indeed a senior..."
It is difficult for Hou Shenyue to explain his psychological state. He is completely free of pressure as a scolded trio in the "Wu Dao" crew. However, Qi Yanbang is a senior who has won awards, and Hou Shenyue is naturally a little weak when facing a qualified opponent.
"Director Chu, I don't know how to describe how I feel, but sometimes I don't know if I'm good at acting or not, but I'm actually very unworthy..." Hou Shen confessed his feelings more embarrassedly and smiled bitterly, "Some people say that I The acting is okay, of course it may be compared to the stars of the same type as me, but some people say that I have no acting skills at all, and I have become blurred over time, so I will be anxious when I meet Teacher Qi."
This is Hou Shenyue's long-standing predicament. He is indeed outstanding in his acting skills among traffic stars, but audiences are inherently prejudiced against traffic's acting skills, which makes him always bewildered about his own abilities and unable to act accurately. judge.
Hou Shenyue has a huge fan base. He has heard too many praises, and he has also heard a lot of disdain for traffic. He can only sway in the noisy disputes. He has no pressure to cooperate with Cao Yangang and Zhou Xuelu. Once he encounters a well-known senior, he will be restrained and give birth to a feeling of inferiority.
Hou Shenyue: I don't know how to overcome the spontaneous "I'm not worthy" mentality.
After Chu Xiaxing listened to Hou Shenyue's inner confession, she thoughtfully concluded: "You don't know whether you are an idol or a powerful person, so now you are very anxious about an actor who doesn't rely on his face to eat?"
"You can say that..." Hou Shenyue said daringly, and he hurriedly added another sentence, "But I didn't say that Teacher Qi's face was bad!"
When Chu Xiaxing saw that his desire to survive was so strong, she couldn't help laughing: "Did I scold you so much in the crew that you have no confidence now?"
Chu Xiaxing found that Hou Shenyue was too respectful to her seniors, and she began to reflect on whether she was too strict, so that the child was very polite to everyone now.
Hou Shenyue: "That can't be scolded, it's right to respect the director..." Not to mention Han Chuning's relatives.
Chu Xiaxing pondered for a few seconds, then raised his eyebrows and said, "This is only half of the truth. If the director is capable, you should respect the director. If the director is incompetent, there is no need to hold the other party."
"I don't understand your fan data, and I don't know the current star traffic, but it is impossible for actors to completely ignore their faces. Even in Qi Yanbang's era, there were idol groups, and there was no superiority. Score. Have you ever thought about it carefully, maybe your timidity towards Qi Yanbang is just a filter of the times."
Chu Xiaxing did not fully understand the traffic and data, but she would not hold a completely contemptuous attitude towards it. This is the gameplay and rules of different eras. Each era has its own advantages and disadvantages. It just depends on who can play and understand.
"If it's just an era filter, then you don't need to be afraid. Now is your era." Chu Xiaxing experienced the era of the past, but she would not have a nostalgic filter and could view everything more objectively.
It was the first time that Hou Shenyue heard Director Chu encourage him, he was stunned and said, "But after all, that's a visionary..."
Chu Xiaxing smiled: "Why do you think that you will not be this emperor or that emperor in the future?"
Hou Shenyue said in shock, "How is this possible!?"
Chu Xiaxing: "What's impossible? In the early years, the center of Chinese movies was Hong Kong. At that time, many people thought that mainland movies couldn't get up."
She has seen too many impossibles and possibles, experienced the weak moments of mainland directors, and experienced the rapid expansion of mainland films.
Chu Xiaxing saw Hou Shenyue's accumulation in the crew in her eyes. She knew that now was the last time to push him. He wanted to break through the original psychological barriers and have the courage to challenge authority.
Hou Shenyue started his career with the help of fans and outsiders, but now he has reached the decision point of independent judgment. Only by getting rid of the outside world's definition of him can he improve to a higher level.
"Hou Shenyue, put aside those messy titles, you are Hou Shenyue, he is Qi Yanbang, delete the prefix adjectives added by outsiders, you are all just actors."
Hou Shenyue didn't expect Director Chu to say this. He thought about it for a while, and finally a bright color flashed in his eyes. He seemed to have completely relieved his psychological burden, and said in a low voice, "Okay."
Hou Shenyue originally had a natural fear of the Emperor, but now, according to what Director Chu said, he deleted those messy titles, and his mentality was inexplicably peaceful. He also found all of Qi Yanbang's past works and watched them carefully. In the past, the more he looked, the more panic he became, but he had experienced the acting competition with Zhou and Cao in the crew, and now he can think about it calmly.
Chu Xiaxing pointed out: "Their lineup looks very strong, and that's why it is easy to understand. Because he is the king of Hong Kong dramas, he naturally looks very good at acting, but he will be guessed by the audience."
After listening to the director's words, Hou Shenyue showed a thoughtful look, rarely regaining the state where he dared to speak in the "Wu Dao" crew, and said, "Director Chu, I have a little idea, that is, our young people have an opinion on Hong Kong. The feel of a cop movie…”
Chu Xiaxing and Hou Shenyue finally integrated their own ideas into the film and successfully completed the shooting of the police and bandit short film.
At the recording site of "24 Frames of Light and Shadow", the directors returned as scheduled with a short film, but today it has become a little different. The video emperor Qi Yanbang actually appeared on the show.
Fan Ke saw Qi Yanbang who smiled and greeted Xie Zhaoyan, he couldn't help but secretly muttered: "This is a bit of a shame, I didn't say hello in advance..."
When the first episode of the show was broadcast, only Xie Zhaoyan and the directors were present, and the other short film actors did not appear. Gong Zhan actually took the actor to the stage in this episode, and he suddenly felt like a crazy canvassing, as if he would not be able to get the votes.
After all, Qi Yanbang himself was sitting on the stage, and if the emperor returned without a prize, the scene would be embarrassing.
Although Fan Ke and others understand that Gong and Chu are the default theme of this issue of police and bandits, it does not mean that they accept actors coming to canvass for votes.
Fan is a mainland director. He originally had no prejudice against directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he had no intention of standing in line with Gong and Chu, but now that Gong Zhan asked for foreign aid, he was not very happy, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you take the little one? Hou is calling? If he stops in the studio, the auditorium next to him will not be full!"
Fan Ke had a deep understanding of Xiao Xianrou's fan power. He felt that by relying on actors to solicit votes, Chu Xiaxing would not necessarily lose. Gong Zhan didn't say a word in advance, he just wanted to kill everyone by surprise.
Chu Xiaxing: "It's not good to bully the small like this." She is bullying people when she wears a trumpet, and it's too much to call her fans now.
Fan Ke was immediately amused: "Which is bigger and which is smaller?"
Qi Yanbang first greeted Xie Zhaoyan, although one of them was a visual emperor and the other was a movie queen, but the gold content of their titles was completely different. Xie Zhaoyan is an internationally famous actress, and the steps above are different.
After Qi Yanbang and Xie Zhaoyan finished chatting, he only said hello to Fan Ke, and even Huo Xiaogang ignored him, probably because he despised idol drama directors, not to mention the remaining young directors.
Huo Xiaogang was left out in the cold for no reason, and now he has a normal attitude towards Qi Yanbang, he can't help but mutter: "What kind of director has what kind of actor, this attitude is just out of the same mold!"
The directors' short films started to be broadcast in turn. Since everyone speculated that the winner was the default winner, they were not as diligent as the previous issue. The films of Gong Zhan and Chu Xiaxing were ranked last.
Gong Zhan and Qi Yanbang sat together talking and laughing. They seemed to be in a position to win, and they were quite confident.
After a while, Gong Zhan's short film finally played on the screen, Fan Ke was stunned when he saw the set: "Hey, as expected of a Hong Kong film director, this scene has that kind of taste..."
Although directors such as Fan Ke and Huo Xiaogang have complained about Gong Zhan, it has to be said that Hong Kong film directors have their own old ways, especially the artistic creators who grew up in that cultural soil and have a strong personal style. Gong Zhan is very familiar with the local environment, and his scene selection is naturally quite skillful, paying tribute to the famous scenes of many blockbusters!
This is a theme that has been etched in the memory of many people. The undercurrent and fierce competition between the police and the bandit, the bloody story is staged again in the familiar and cramped streets of Hong Kong, especially the "A Sir" that awakens everyone's memories.
Gong Zhan's police and bandit short film is completely unexpected by Chu Xiaxing, it is simply a classic Hong Kong film template. Qi Yanbang reproduces the mature acting skills in old police and gangster movies, coupled with all kinds of nostalgic old songs and Hong Kong movie scenes. I can't wait to be an exquisite collection of countless Hong Kong police and gangster movies. I am afraid that many Hong Kong movie lovers will cry Eyebrows!
"Suddenly reminds me of the days when I was a child, watching Hong Kong movies at home every day!"
"But this short film doesn't have a storyline, it's just a stitching of classic scenes?"
"As soon as the exciting music at the beginning came out, I won, and in ten minutes I couldn't make any plot..."
Gong Zhan's short films also have their own weaknesses, that is, they are too nostalgic and tearful, ignoring the overall plot logic, but the program team relies on ten-minute short films to judge the quality of the director.
After the broadcast of Director Gong's short film, everyone talked passionately for a long time. They are all people who have experienced the era of Hong Kong films, and now they naturally have their own immortal feelings.
Xie Zhaoyan waited for everyone to calm down before saying with a smile, "That's Director Chu's work in the end."
The big screen was lit up again, and an extremely similar Hong Kong street scene appeared. It was also a tribute to the famous scene of a Hong Kong film. Similar scenes could even be found in Gong Zhan's short films, which immediately surprised the directors present.
Qi Yanbang looked at the familiar scene and commented meaningfully: "If the director wants to learn from the scenes of Hong Kong films, he still has to learn from Director Gong!"
Fan Ke found that Chu Xiaxing's police and bandit short films were similar to Gong Zhan's, and he also said with a little regret: "It's bad if you don't make it, but it really doesn't feel that way..."
Gong Zhan's victory lies not in his technique, but in his own status as a director of Hong Kong films, as well as the blessing of the emperor Qi Yanbang, which arouses the nostalgia of the audience. Chu Xiaxing does not belong to a Hong Kong film director. She imitates classic old movies and is not good at it. It is easy to draw a tiger but not a dog.
Huo Xiaogang: "It's okay to be ahead of Director Gong in this short film, but it was pushed to the end."
Everyone has just accepted Gong Zhan's Dafa, and if they continue to accept Chu Xiaxing's Dafa, it will indeed cause a certain amount of aesthetic fatigue.
Just when they felt bored, the scene on the screen suddenly changed. As the camera quickly zoomed in, a TV appeared on the screen. The scene of the Hong Kong film just now was actually the content of the TV!
Hou Shenyue was sitting in front of the TV watching Hong Kong movies obsessively, but someone hit him hard on the back of the head, and then a voice-over came a scolding: "What era is this? You still want to be a young and dangerous boy? !"
Hou Shenyue showed annoyance, he glanced aside in anger and dared not speak, and then waved his hand reluctantly, and the TV in front of him disappeared out of thin air. He stood in vain in the living room, then looked around and waved irritably and silently.
In the next second, all the furnishings in the house with a sense of life disappeared, leaving only the cold metal walls. Hou Shenyue was like a trapped beast standing in a metal cage, and the surroundings were empty.
This is a certain era in the future, home decorations are all projections, and there is only technology behind the fantasy. There are no passionate stories here, only people's nostalgia for the past with technology.
Chu Xiaxing placed the elements of police and bandits in the advanced future era, which was actually a re-deconstruction of the connotation of Hong Kong films, giving off a new color.
