Chapter 46 I swear by my integrity
After finishing school, Chen Zhixing did not get any vacation.
The winter vacation has arrived, and "White Night" will be launched soon, competing with "Tomb Raiders" and "Psychological Crime 2" on the same stage.
The crew started promoting the film intensively, and as the lead actor, Chen Zhixing naturally had to follow the whole process.
"I would like to ask Director Wang Wei, you focus on criminal investigation dramas. Is this type of work more comfortable for you to shoot?"
"Yes." Wang Wei nodded with great satisfaction.
There is a difference between going to all parts of the country and pulling reporters from all over the country in front of you. The questions you ask are so easy-going.
"In fact, "New Year's Funeral" directed by Wu Bai12 has elements of suspense and decryption. At that time, a group of us had just gotten together, and our early experiences also allowed us to establish some directions."
There was a lively flow of questions and responses, making one wonder whether the journalist profession is collectively changing its gender.
It's tepid, nothing exciting.
Chen Zhixing suppressed his desire to yawn, put on a normal fake smile, and kept thinking about what he had recorded two days ago.
After Kuaiben finished filming, Liu Yiqian sent herself an invitation letter.
Her new film "To Youth" lacks a male lead, and she wants to audition for it herself.
Is she auditioning that I can be the leading actor, or is she hinting that I can be the leading actor?
This movie is quite bad, but even if it is bad, I don't have the ability to be picky.
It seems that Ruyi Xinxin has chosen to sign him to play the male lead, right? Movies adapted from this kind of youth trauma literature are tools to harvest traffic. If his traffic does not discredit the drama, it will be a blessing.
Forget it, the film won't be shot until May anyway, so I still have plenty of time.
At least we have to wait for the promotion to be completed after this quick issue is released.
"I don't know that. You have to ask the toad himself."
Chen Zhixing suddenly came back to his senses. He seemed to hear someone calling him.
Seeing that he was stunned, Wubai quickly poked him and reminded him softly: "They asked you about your experience in playing this role."
"Oh." Chen Zhixing cleared his throat, "The background of this character is very lovable. I just played it well."
When reporters ask questions, there is no need for him to show off his sharp edge.
After all, there aren't many media outlets that are nice to him, so it's better to be less provoking.
"Why did Director Wang Wei call you a toad?"
Wang Wei immediately took over the topic. He had made an unintentional mistake just now, but now he realized that he was afraid of leaving some bad publicity for Chen Zhixing, "Because he always likes to use toad excuses. He calls him this in private. Please don't spread it to others."
"I understand."
Everyone understands this, so it would be strange if they don't spread it to others.
"Excuse me, Chen Zhixing. I heard that one person plays two roles in this drama. Do you feel any pressure in this aspect of the performance?"
Chen Zhixing pondered for a while, "There is still pressure, but there are many such performances in major film and television dramas. I have many seniors who can learn from them."
"Can you list them?"
"For example, "The Society of Two Dragons" and "Hidden Dragon in Cold Mountain" some time ago, the ones that I drew more from were "Detective Fang Mao"."
Zhang Weijian's acting skills are actually not outstanding. After all, those who have survived and are able to stand out since Xiangjiang fell into desolation are the elites of the same place. By comparison, he is naturally not among the best.
What Chen Zhixing learned from him was not the performance method, but the idea of performance.
According to Feng Yuanzheng's instructions, the two characters Guan Hongfeng and Guan Hongyu are not one body, but two independent individuals.
It's easy to say, but when two characters imitate each other, the boundaries of this kind of performance can become elusive.
The black and white character played by Zhang Weijian is very clear at a glance.
The reason is that Chen Zhixing initially regarded the subject Guan Hongfeng as water, and the guest Guan Hongyu as salt. This understanding of distinguishing priority based on role troubled him for a long time.
Afterwards, the two are divided into water and oil, which are generally incompatible, but can be put into the same container to truly bring the two characters to life.
"In fact, every character in the drama undergoes a sudden change and changes in personality. It can be regarded as one person playing two roles."
After all, when performing, you have to succumb to the scene and budget. The shooting sequence is not the sequence of calm temperament - sudden change - personality change.
Instead, one scene is peaceful, and the next scene becomes violent, with various accidents mixed in between.
As Chen Zhixing spoke, the reporters in the audience began to record the key points.
They initially determined one thing. Chen Zhixing had truly learned and understood it, otherwise he would not have been able to speak so eloquently.
So for Chen Zhixing's performance in this drama, they should also be able to promote it in a different direction.
"Then are you confident that the number of views on "White Night" will exceed that of other online dramas of the same period?"
Wang Wei straightened up. His speeches before were somewhat casual, but when faced with this issue, he was no longer prepared to be perfunctory.
"Have confidence."
The confidence that supported him came from two film reviews.
Generally, before a movie is released, there will be two review sessions, and some large production crews even have a very small range of screenings.
The first review is an internal review by the main creator, and various problems are discovered and dealt with centrally.
The second review is to gather some audiences to screen part of the content, collect the audience's opinions, and delete or reshoot some scenes.
The effect of the two film reviews cannot be described as good, but perfect.
However, in order to tighten the plot again, he even decided to delete about three more episodes.
What has been presented so far is already an almost perfect work.
These three words were blurted out with confidence, which aroused the emotions of all the reporters.
Each of them smelled something explosive.
If what Wang Wei said is so certain, then they can exaggerate it even more when promoting it.
"The last question is for our hero and heroine."
Hearing this, Liang Yuan also picked up the microphone with great interest.
"Many people on the Internet are paying attention to the relationship between you two, and they even gave you many CP names, called Shen Yuan Dexue."
Unsurprisingly, since Youku didn't work hard enough, they only had these three promotional methods they could use.
Chen Zhixing is a scumbag. Chen Zhixing is a scumbag. Chen Zhixing is a scumbag. Chen Zhixing is a scumbag.
Just these three tricks, you don’t have to worry about using them.
Although this CP name has good intentions, it actually doesn’t sound very good.
"There are some questions from netizens. Can you please answer them? The first is your relationship. Are you really together?"
"No." Liang Yuan shook her head decisively without any unnecessary expression.
"Yes, we are just friends."
Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running? Chen Zhixing followed suit at the right time.
Immediately, the two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Chen Zhixing understood that even if the two of them interacted a lot, they probably wouldn't have many opportunities to cooperate in the future, and he understood the principle of communicating superficially and speaking deeply.
And Liang Yuan is also very conscious and understands the subtleties of the long and short.
The expressions of the media were very wonderful. If this tacit understanding wasn't a little tricky, who would believe it?
"Don't think too much about it."
Wang Wei raised the microphone and said, "I swear on my career as a director that they are definitely not what you think."
Worried that his words were not weighty enough, he used his eyes to dig into Wubai who was as if nothing had happened.
"Oh! That's right!" Wubai then belatedly remembered his original plan. When these reporters asked him, he should grit his teeth and say that there was no such thing.
Chapter completed!
