Chapter 144: Crazy Stone.
At the class reunion on the weekend, Zhou Xing met many old classmates who had not met again for ten years. Everyone was happy and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Half of the students have changed careers, either becoming teachers or doing business. There are not many people who have been persisting in the circle. Zhou Xing has performed this time, and the rest are not very satisfactory.
However, it is not difficult to understand. In the 1990s, the film school did not recruit students like now. They were all handsome men and beautiful women. At that time, Zhou Xing recruited students according to the standards of one class and one drama. At that time, the most important part of the film school's assessment of class teachers was the drama when they graduated.
So for this graduation drama, it is naturally a student, Dan, Jing, Mo and Chou. There must be any kind of student. Some people play the protagonist, and some people play supporting roles.
Many students are not recruited according to the protagonist's standards at all, so it is naturally not easy to perform. Those who can stand it are still struggling. When they become old actors, they will be considered a day to make a comeback. Those who can't stand it will naturally find another way out.
The class reunion naturally cannot avoid recalling the bitterness and sweetness. Who did something stupid at the beginning? When the class reunion came, he would inevitably be brought up old accounts. After such a fuss, it seemed like he was back ten years ago, and he couldn't help but toast to his youth.
Except for a few female classmates, they could not walk any longer. Zhou Xing also drank a lot, but in the end he was sent back by his assistant Xiaomei.
"Goodbye second brother, second brother walk slowly."
A week later, Zhou Lan finally waited for Zhou Xing's departure.
"Don't just spend time at home, prepare for the art exams. As long as you can get into the three major universities, don't you always want a car, just choose whatever you want under 300,000." Zhou Xing concluded that when dealing with Zhou Lan's slutty face, material rewards can often achieve good results.
"Really?" Zhou Lan's eyes lit up, then her eyes rolled and she said coquettishly: "Hehe, what about those with more than 300,000?"
Zhou Xing stared at her angrily: "What are you doing when you drive such a good car in every little girl? Just 300,000 yuan, don't get it down." It's not that he is stingy, but that such a big girl is driving a luxury car. What if someone is targeted?
This time, Zhou Xing went to the mountain city, and the filming of [Crazy Stone] has started. He has been a little annoyed at home for this period of time. Why not shoot the guest scenes first and be able to take a vacation there by the way.
.........
"It's weird, why didn't Director Ning come today? Can you still shoot this scene?"
In the Luohan Temple, the crazy stone shooting crew, Huang Bo secretly told Wang Xu beside him.
Wang Xu shook his head and said he didn't know. Guo Tao, who was beside him, lit a cigarette: "Don't worry, as soon as the filming starts today, Director Ning is going to pick up someone."
"Who? You're so proud of your face, the director will stop filming the scenes, so I'll pick them up in person?" Wang Xu pushed his glasses.
"Didn't you notice that the producer is not here either? The person I'm picking up must be quite good." Xu Zheng touched his shiny bald head.
At Shancheng Airport, Zhou Xing came out of the airport and saw Ning Hao and Anli waving at him.
"Dao Ning looks good. It seems that the water and soil of this mountain city are very nourishing?" Zhou Xing smiled and patted Ning Hao on the shoulder.
Ning Hao smiled embarrassedly, but Anli gave Zhou Xing a angrily and cursed: "Come on, Director Ning and I have suffered a lot here. We have lost at least ten kilograms. You are living a good life alone in the capital and have gained a lot of weight."
While laughing and making fun, the group got on the crew's van. Yes, it was a van. Five million seemed to be a lot, but when the crew actually operated, they burned money every day. This budget was not enough at all, so this van was rented.
Zhou Xing asked his assistant Xiaomei to send her luggage back to the hotel, and then followed Ning Hao to the crew.
"Oh, this is here." Huang Bo suddenly pulled Wang Xu's clothes.
Several leading actors stood up, but Xu Zheng was stunned: "I'm going, no, right? Why did Director Ning invite him?"
Guo Tao was also stupid. Although the one next to Ning Hao was wearing sunglasses, he recognized it at a glance. Who else could Zhou Xing be if he wasn't the current popularity of the show?
"Come on, let me introduce you to you. This is the investor of our film, Mr. Zhou Xingzhou."
As soon as Ning Hao finished speaking, everyone present was stunned. When they took on this drama, they were still guessing which company invested in such a poor crew, and why there was no news in the circle.
Well, it was not invested by a film and television company at all, but by a personal investment, and this person was also the new kung fu superstar Zhou Xing.
"This is Guo Tao, and our male lead."
"This is Wang Xu, this is Xu Zheng."
"Liu Hua is also our second male lead, this is Huang Bo."
Ning Hao introduced one by one, Zhou Xing took off his sunglasses and shook hands with them one by one.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell everyone that Mr. Zhou will play an guest role as an international thief in our crew." Ning Hao announced again.
Zhou Xing nodded: "That's right, starting tomorrow, I will be a member of the crew. I will ask everyone to take care of you in the future."
"You are kind." The leading actors including the male lead Guo Tao quickly waved their hands, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Take care of me, let alone Zhou Xing is far behind them in his position, just as his investor identity, isn’t he doing whatever he wants in the crew?
In order to spend all the money on filming, Ning Hao invited some less well-known actors in terms of actors. The male lead Guo Tao should be considered the biggest actor, and his salary is only 100,000 yuan.
With Zhou Xing's status, there is no need to get close to them. To get to know him briefly, Ning Hao took him to another place.
"Look at me, I won't tell you that I have gained fame and fortune. Now I have started investing in making movies. When can we make a fortune?" Huang Bo sighed helplessly.
Guo Tao shook his head: "Come on, they are born to be a master who is a food gift. They have to look, act, play and sing, and they can't envy them."
Xu Zheng looked at Zhou Xing's back with a firm look.
[Crazy Stone] It has been half a month since the filming started, and the rest of the scenes were concentrated near Luohan Temple. Ning Hao took Zhou Xing around the neighborhood. Zhou Xing also specially lit incense and donated some incense and oil money. He believed this and went to the temple to burn incense, so he wanted to have peace of mind.
"Don't arrange my scenes specifically, just shoot them as usual. I will treat it as vacation when I come to Shancheng this time." Zhou Xing said.
Ning Hao naturally wanted it. After all, the previous shooting plan was arranged, and if the modification was made, it would take a lot of time to waste it.
After walking around, Zhou Xing was a little tired, so he said goodbye to Ning Hao and took a taxi back to the hotel. Ning Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief and went back to continue to arrange the shooting.
After a while, Zhou Xing officially joined the group, but he did not have the exclusive role, so he sat in front of the monitor like a director every day to follow up on the shooting progress.
Not to mention, after two days of observation, Zhou Xing found that Ning Hao had a very unique vision. Although many actors were not very famous, their performances were quite good.
Needless to mention the protagonists of Guo Tao, Liu Hua, and Xu Zheng, even supporting roles such as Huang Bo, who plays Hei Pi and Wang Xu who plays Four-eyed. They have a lot of acting skills.
In Zhou Xing's view, these actors' acting skills have actually surpassed many Hong Kong and Taiwan actors. However, the reality is so cruel. In terms of value, they are only one percent of the value of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.
"Director Ning, where did you find these actors?" Zhou Xing asked curiously.
Ning Hao was stunned for a moment before he realized: "Just send a notice of the test show, look for a needle in a haystack, and they are the ones left in the end."
Well, Zhou Xing suddenly felt that his problem was a bit funny. If he hadn't gone to Xiangjiang, he would probably be one of them, right?
After almost a week, Zhou Xing finally arranged a scene, and it was a night scene. The international thief played by Zhou Xing came to steal jade, but because the small vendor selling ropes was missing, he couldn't get in the air, and instead was teased by two local silly thieves.
Zhou Xing changed into Ye Xing's clothes, only revealing his two eyes, and looked a little funny.
"Crazy Stone, Act 35, Mirror 1286, action."
Zhou Xing slowly hangs down from the beam of the house, and the palms of the several businesses pulling the ropes are sweating. Not to mention how big Zhou Xing is, the key is that he is still the boss. If he is not controlled well, he will fall down...
The next scene made everyone present laugh. Zhou Xing was like a big spider in the air. He changed and hung it down. Everything went smoothly in front of him. He reached out to hold the booth and avoided the alarm device.
However, just after he used the lock unlocking tool to pry the lock of the table, he found that he could not reach the jade inside.
"I'll take your lungs, this profiteer."
"Crack." Ning Hao gave Zhou Xing a thumbs up, not only because of the funny point caused by this line, but also Zhou Xing's body movements are also very interesting.
Originally, Ning Hao was a little worried that Zhou Xing would not be able to let go of such a small comedy role. He didn't expect that Zhou Xing would have such a good comedy effect. He used his hands and feet in the air, like a drowning man, struggling desperately, and combined with that Cantonese line, it would definitely be more than the effect of 11=2.
Just as the shooting of [Crazy Stone] was about to end, Zhou Xing had already flew to Xiangjiang to participate in the preliminary promotion of [Ban*Zhi].
Although this movie was shot to be tried in mainland China and hopes of making a comeback are slim, but after all, Zhou Xing is the leading male lead in the film, and he happened to be in a gap again.
However, on the day he came to Xiangjiang, [Dragon and Tiger Gate] also announced that it would be scheduled for the summer schedule, and [Dragon and Tiger Gate] actually obtained the qualification to be released in the mainland.
Of course, if that's all, it's nothing, but Donnie Yen shouted: [Dragon and Tiger Sect] is an action movie that is difficult to surpass in ten years!
This is a bit of a competitive situation. [Huo Yuanjia] has just been painting for a few months? It is hard for people not to doubt Zhen Zibang’s intentions.
However, at the beginning, the media did not make a big fuss about this matter. After all, it is normal to brag about the movie. Before Wuji was released, Chen Kai also said that its box office could exceed 3 billion.
However, in an interview with the media, Donnie Yen said that the box office target of [Dragon and Tiger Sect] in mainland China is 120 million, which is a coincidence? You should know that the final box office of [Huo Yuanjia] is 110 million.
