Playing a character from the East in an international blockbuster is more than just playing a supporting role.
Like this kind of movie that can be called a blockbuster, once an oriental face appears, it will represent the whole of Asia. All Asian audiences will involuntarily pay attention to this actor with the same skin color as their own. Once they can win the role, they will grow up In terms of popularity, it couldn't be better.
Opportunities are good, but competition is also great.
The range of oriental faces is not limited to our country, and the actors who will go to the audition in the future are likely to come from other countries such as Japan and South Korea. Thinking about it this way, it is easy to see that the competition is unprecedentedly fierce.
"Does the character ask to know?"
Zhen Jingye paused, smiled helplessly and said, "There is no difference between knowing and not knowing, because the character is only said to be a woman, and there is no requirement for appearance, even beauty and ugliness. As long as the role has a clear sense of presence, it is fine, but because it is a foreign country. Therefore, the actors are required to speak English throughout the whole process, and the language must pass the test.”
Kang Chen said, "Xiao Zhi, how is your English?"
Cheng Zhi said: "Alright, yes, show me the movie information."
"World Game" is currently in preparation, and there is not much information leaked out. Cheng Zhi carefully analyzed the known information, and probably knows that this movie belongs to the science fiction category, and the background is false. A story of worlds killing each other to survive.
Just looking at it this way, you may feel that this story is just a cliché. After all, most game movies follow this path, but the screenwriter added the setting of the end of the earth on the basis of the world game. Every player who comes to participate in the game bears his own burden. The fate of the countless people behind them, if they can win in killing each other, then the winning party will have the right to move their nationals into the new world.
If it is done simply, the characters will bear the righteousness, and killing each other will break away from the vulgar interest, and become a human struggle for the people, relatives, and love.
In this movie, there are about seven or eight main characters, and there are more than 20 characters who show up. Each of them comes from a different country and has different abilities bestowed by the new world.
As the game continues to kill each other, players will die one by one, and finally only the hero and heroine are left. Although the hero and heroine have won rights for their country, they commit suicide after winning the game.
... It really is a blockbuster routine.
The oriental character that Cheng Zhi had the opportunity to try belonged to the last player who died. The first half of the scenes together lasted more than 20 minutes, running through the beginning and end of the movie. This is like a huge cake in front of you. Drooling all over.
"Would you like to try?"
Cheng Zhi glanced sideways at Kang Chen, showing contempt for Kang Chen who knew the answer but insisted on asking.
"you still need to ask?"
— Definitely something to try.
Cheng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the business card in his hand again, and carefully put it back in his pocket. Kang Chen saw it, and after a while, he showed a meaningful smile.
After discussing the movie, Cheng Zhi always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he simply let it go, and the night of delaying looking for it on the road passed by, and Cheng Xianliang and Kang Xianhuang returned to the imperial capital.
In the next half a month, Cheng Zhi was busy with the next project. Accompanied by his manager and male assistant, he went to shoot the urban unit drama that he had chosen a long time ago: "Serious Cases".
This TV series is a modern suspense reasoning drama. Cheng Zhi played a murderer in one of the units. Before Cheng Zhi joined the group, the TV series had already started broadcasting on local satellite TV, with two episodes a week.
Weekly unit dramas are particularly special, that is, they can be filmed and broadcast at the same time, so although Cheng Zhi entered the group late, it actually has no impact on the whole drama, after all, Cheng Zhi's unit is already at the back.
It is worth mentioning that Cheng Zhi's participation in this script has actually been decided a long time ago, but at that time his reputation was still small, and the crew did not take him seriously. The invitations kept coming, the movie was being broadcast, and all these things added up. The original plan to use TV dramas to increase the exposure rate was turned upside down, and turned into TV dramas to take advantage of Cheng Zhi's fame.
The effect of this subtle reversal is a win-win.
"Serious Cases and Murders" made a special promotion for Cheng Zhi, and Cheng Zhi also used his acting skills to refresh the messy comments left by the variety show.
#Chengzhi Special Effects Acting#
After the unit played by Cheng Zhi in "Serious Cases and Murders" was broadcast, the tag with Cheng Zhi's name was pushed into the hot search, and the most reposted scene in the edited video was Cheng Zhi's tenderness in front of the camera. The smile suddenly turned into a ferocious smile, and in just a second, the style of the painting exploded, and a vicious, sinister, twisted and thick malice rushed towards his face.
Countless netizens offered their knees one after another after being stunned, and the ratings of "Serious Cases and Murders" quadrupled in Cheng Zhi's unit.
Cheng Zhi also watched this video clip, the content is similar to the main line in the unit drama, but minus the two roles of the policeman and the doctor who solve the case, it only tells about the female murderer who hides in the world with a gentle and beautiful appearance during the day, and at night Take off the disguise and reveal the story of the twisted soul coming out to kill and drink blood.
Netizens who have watched "Serious Cases and Murders" know the plot, so they are not shocked by the content. What amazes them is Cheng Zhi's stunning performance in the play with a great contrast between before and after he was discovered in the play.
Yes, how beautiful he is during the day, and how ugly he is at night.
His smile was full of blood spilling from his gums, and his gentle voice hid the wailing of a large number of victims before they died. Between day and night, he was completely two people.
One is extremely clean and the other is extremely disgusting.
In this clip, Cheng Zhi's front and back images will be edited side by side. One frame of a beautiful woman and one frame of a devil, obviously have the same exquisite facial features, but their expressions and aura are not the same person at all.
So after the unit of "Serious Cases and Murders" was broadcast, Cheng Zhi's "special effects" acting skills became a hot search, and fans of wives and mothers wandered around, so proud that they wanted to praise Cheng Zhi to the sky.
Under Cheng Zhi's Weibo, there are praises everywhere.
—I really can't help but be convinced! ! Who of you can understand the feeling of watching a TV series for Xintoubao and almost being scared out of my heart by his laugh! ! ! Really frightened instantly! ! ! Ah no, for an instant... In an instant, I was terrified, just terrified! ! !
-I see! ! ! I have always been frightened by the sound effects when watching suspense films like this, but this time the sound effects didn't work. Cheng Zhi's sudden sinister smile actually frightened me! !
— I’m used to watching Cheng Zhimeimei’s performance, this performance burst really shocked me and I have nothing to say, I think I might not dare to go to bed with my wife anymore, it’s so scary.
—Bao, you almost hope to become my son's childhood shadow...
—The expression changes are the same as the special effects, and the special effects acting skills are well-deserved. [shivering] [shivering]
—Cheng Bao is very Chen Duxiu this time, which fully proves that appearance and acting skills can coexist.
-plus one! agree! ! ! I said long ago that Cheng Zhi's acting skills are super good, but you all only care about licking his face! And I always lick his face while bragging about his acting skills! Hmph, you mortals! ! !
It is a surprise for Cheng Zhi to be able to use "special effects" acting skills to become popular. All actors hope to be praised for their good acting skills. This praise will add a lot of praise to Cheng Zhi in the hearts of the audience. Leaving aside the sub-impressions, what Cheng Zhi himself is most satisfied with is that since the first time he was on the trending search, the Weibo tags are normal for the first time!
normal! !
It's not as weird as being a sister and a pair of dogs!
Cheng Zhi's enthusiasm was beyond words, and he replied ten more comments to netizens on Weibo than usual.
Of course, such an obvious move cannot escape the eyes of netizens. Seeing the number of comments combined into Zhizhi's performance in the reality show, it is easy to imagine Chengzhi's narcissistic and flattered expression.
— Wake me up! ! ! Why is there a picture of Cheng Bao dancing samba in front of my eyes!
-Eh? ? ? Are you dancing samba? ? ? My side is PPAP! !
—I am in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
—? ? ? WTF! ! Hurry up, the brain wave is connected to the Internet with me, I want to watch it too! ! !
— Please... share resources, otherwise... stab your chrysanthemum.
Cheng Zhi was in a great mood. He never expected that after playing these roles, he would not get a lot of attention through his acting skills, and now he would get a very high degree of attention just before "The Imperial City on the Sea" started.
"Taking advantage of this opportunity to join "The Imperial City at Sea" and cooperate with Kang Chen, the pressure of public opinion is just right."
What Zhen Jingye said is very reasonable. There has always been public pressure for Cheng Zhi to play Yu Qiuyue.
After all, Kang Chen's reputation is there. Cheng Zhi joined the crew of "The Imperial City on the Sea", and his qualifications of less than a year are a problem, but it is wrong, because Qian Lu wins love with a knife, and his body problems are bigger than Cheng Zhi. The spearhead turned to Qian Lu, and now with the help of special effects acting skills, Cheng Zhi's position is surprisingly justified.
I understand these reasons in my heart, but it is not Cheng Zhi's job to worry about such problems. After a flash in my mind, Cheng Zhi throws the question back to the male assistant, and continues to appreciate the boastful sound in the comments.
"It would be nice if this label lasted for a while, it's so cool."
Could it be that Zhen Jingye agreed, "It's true, it's so cool."
Hearing this sentence, Cheng Zhi suddenly felt a little weird. He frowned and said, "Why do you agree with me? It makes me feel like I set up FLAG."
Zhen Jingye paused for a moment, and then his expression became strange, "When you say that, I suddenly feel a little bit..."
Cheng Zhi: "..."
Zhen Jingye breathed out, waved his hands and said, "But it should be fine, if it weren't for some big event, the trending searches wouldn't change."
Cheng Zhi: "..."
I beg your mouth! ! !
You made the FLAG more and more obvious! ! !
It didn't take long for this magical conversation around FLAG. At night, there must have been a new change on Weibo...
Cheng Zhi guest-starred in "Owl City Chronicle" at 8 o'clock in the evening, and carried out a strong publicity!
At this time, it is already the end of February, and there are only a few days left before the film is scheduled to start broadcasting.
The promotion of "Xiaocheng Chronicle" can be said to be the last effort at the box office. Although the promotion time seems to be very late, the intensity is unprecedented.
The official blog posted the blog, and all major media microblogs forwarded it at the same time. Within ten minutes, the news of "Xiaocheng Chronicle" was posted everywhere, and the amount of information contained in this message itself did not disappoint the official blog. I hope that without any background operations, it will be popularly searched by countless netizens on its own at an extremely fast speed.
["Xiaocheng Chronicle" on March 3rd, they are waiting for you in Xiaocheng. (Attachment 1) (Attachment 2) @康陈、@成脚]
The sudden official announcement also brought in two actors who had nothing to do with "Xiaocheng Chronicle", one is Kang Chen, and the other is Cheng Zhi. This news that usually has no warning appeared at first glance, and it was very strong. There was a stormy sea.
-what? ? ? ? ?
—What kind of operation is this TM? ? ? ? Kang Chen in this movie? ? ?
—Cheng Bao? ? ? And Kang Chen? ? ? Why suddenly Aite the two of them? ? ? Fuck! ! !
—Mom! ! ! Is it a surprise that the film industry is so popular this year? ? ? ? Both of them actually starred in "Xiaocheng Chronicle"? ?
——The ferocious shooting that grabbed the box office, the unimaginable precision operation, one word: Sao! ! !
The befuddled Aite declares to everyone that the movie will have the superstar Kang Chen and the women's clothing Xiaosheng Zhi. One of the two has a deep-rooted old reputation, and the other has a new popularity. Helps to a certain extent.
What shocked the audience was not only because these two people appeared at the same time, but also because of their appearance this time, they just pulled out a new trick!
— Same frame! ! !
Before this, the names of Kang Chen and Cheng Zhi had appeared together. The Easter egg of "Night Breeze" and "The Imperial City on the Sea" were in the same crew.
But these appearances only appear together in words, not once in the same frame in the true sense. The last publicity post on the official blog directly released stills of the two of them together. They were both supporting roles, but the promotional treatment was comparable to that of the male and female protagonists.
Actually released two pictures full of artistic conception in one breath.
In the first picture, Kang Chen’s clothes are complicated and noble, wearing a high crown, and looks like an emperor. If you look at him alone like this, countless fans will scream loudly that this emperor is so beautiful that he can be painted. But he is not alone in this scene. The emperor is not sitting on the dragon chair, but lying down. He is lazily and tiredly resting on the leg of the eunuch next to him. The eunuch who should be kneeling on the ground is now Sitting submissively on the emperor's dragon chair, he gently combed Kang Chen's hair.
In this picture, there are too many surprising points. The postures and expressions of the two people make people fantasize about their relationship, and looking at the appearance of the eunuch, they are even more surprised. His appearance is exactly that of Cheng Zhi! ! !
Still in the same frame as a pillow on the thigh? ? ?
Kang Chen pillowed into Zhi Zhi's thigh? ?
ah? ? ? ? ?
Go crazy! !
If the first still photo makes people feel that there is something wrong with the master and servant, then the second one is equivalent to the final word, and people can't think of an excuse to explain that there is no special relationship between them, because the two are wearing white underwear at the same time. Lying loosely on the same couch, the emperor played by Kang Chen is terminally ill and pale and thin, while Cheng Zhi is lying on his side and looking at him with a gentle smile on his face, at the same time a tear ran across the bridge of his handsome nose.
Netizens are almost crazy: this f*cking—
Delicious fried!
Ambiguous explosion! ! !
No matter how they look, they look like a couple! ! !
Are they acting as a couple? ?
It can be seen that Zhi Zhi's dress does not look like a concubine, but like a eunuch! ! ! Eunuch! ! ! Is it so emotional? ?
