I’m Really a Superstar

( www.du; read the full text without pop-ups)

Cinema base.

A small corner with a row of benches.

Zhang Ye sat there and read the script, which contained his own lines. It was very simple, just a few sentences. The difficulty lay in the fighting scene, which was really a challenge for Zhang Ye, who was filming for the first time.

But he believes that he can shoot well. Zhang Ye has always known that belief is very important. The more you think you are not good, the less confident you are, and in the end you will not be able to do it well, because in terms of confidence, You have already lost. This is a very subtle thing. If you are confident, you can do anything. This is not a lie or alarmist. There are subjects and cases in this regard in psychology. Is it impossible for Sisi to become rich, handsome, and rich in her whole life? Can it only be a fantasy? What’s wrong with Si Si who is not like this at all? What happened to the frustrated and ugly poor lady? As long as you firmly believe that you can succeed, as long as you firmly believe that you can do it, then I believe that one day, you will definitely become a very confident, frustrated and ugly poor girl.

"Xiao Zhang" Yao Jiancai is here.

Zhang Ye closed the script and said, "Uh, what's wrong?"

Yao Jiancai said speechlessly: "Didn't you say you are new?"

"But I am a newcomer." Zhang Ye blinked.

Yao Jiancai thought the same thing. Zhang Ye had never made a movie before and was indeed a genuine newcomer in the field of filmmaking. "I just realized that you are quite famous in Beijing."

Zhang Ye said hurriedly: "It's all a false reputation, I can't compare to you."

This is not modesty. He is really as famous as Yao Jiancai. Although he only plays supporting roles, how many movies has he acted in so many years? He is somewhat famous in China, well, although it's not that big, it's still a little better than Zhang Ye, who only hangs out in Beijing circles. At least he's "not short of legs."

"Come on." Yao Jiancai smiled and said, "In the capital, more people must know you than me. You are good, you have a future, can you still write poetry?"

"Writing blindly," Zhang Ye said.

After hearing about Zhang Ye's deeds, Yao Jiancai felt more and more interested in Zhang Ye. He sat next to him and hugged his shoulders. "Tell me in detail how you slapped the leader of the TV station in the face. Haha, you did it." All the TV media in the country don’t dare to hire you anymore? They can only force you to come and film movies? You are so coquettish, you are so cool, not bad, not bad, you have a bit of the style of your Uncle Yao and me back then.”

"Have you ever had this happen to you?"

"No.

"

"Then why do you have your style?"

"Hey, it's just a metaphor."

The old man and the young man have become acquainted with each other, and they even changed their mobile phone numbers, as if they have known each other for years.

At this time, a strong man in his thirties came over. He was the martial arts instructor of the crew. He looked very strong, and he could tell he had kung fu skills. "Who is Zhang Ye?"

"I am." Zhang Ye stood up with the script.

The martial arts instructor glanced at him, speechless, "Are you playing Chen Shaoxia?"

This is Zhang Ye's role. He nodded, "Yes."

The martial arts instructor looked at him for a few times, then pinched his arm and tried him a few more times. Finally, he turned around and left without saying anything, and went directly to the assistant director, "Assistant director, are you sure you're not mistaken? That Zhang Ye plays Chen Shaoxia? He can't come up with Chen Shaoxia's setting. He has such a small body, but he can't even look like a stand-in for a supporting role. Even if he does, there won't be a suitable one. How can we film this?"

The assistant director looked at him and said, "If you think it's not possible, just help him train well and direct his movements. The role has been decided and won't be changed. The rest is your job."

The martial arts instructor said: "But it's hard for me to make a living without rice. Let's not talk about whether the appearance is good or not. The physical quality is far behind. This way of filming will affect the effect."

The two got into an argument.

Zhang Ye had no choice but to be despised on the first day of filming.

At the end, the martial arts instructor came back without success. He looked at Zhang Ye with a look of helplessness on his face, "Have you ever filmed a martial arts scene before?"

Zhang Ye shook his head.

The martial arts director asked, "Have you ever filmed a movie?"

Zhang Ye shook his head again.

The martial arts instructor asked: "Have you ever practiced dancing?"

Zhang Ye still shook his head.

The martial arts instructor slapped his forehead and said, "Three No Personnel"

Their investment in this movie is not small, it is considered a medium-to-large-scale production, so the requirements for the quality of actors are very high. It is not a low-budget martial arts movie where you punch me and I kick you, and it doesn't make people laugh to death. So most of the actors they look for have good skills or have filmed fighting scenes. Even the protagonist can't be too shabby, he must have arms and a figure, and the protagonist can also find a stand-in. How to find a supporting role?

The martial arts instructor has a headache.

Yao Jiancai is a treasure of the crew, he can talk to everyone, "This young man is a good friend of mine, you have to take care of him."

The martial arts instructor said: "Uncle Yao, the role of Chen Shaoxia is not light. There is at least one and a half minutes of footage, and there are many difficult moves in it. He..."

Zhang Ye gritted his teeth and said, "How about giving it a try?"

The martial arts instructor could only find a sword and handed it to him, "Swing the sword twice and let me see."

Zhang Ye came over and was immediately in high spirits. With a flick of his wrist, he waved a sword flower in the air... Well, this is a slightly artistically modified adjective. In fact, it was just holding the sword and swinging it in the air. This is true. The sword tends to be soft in nature, and this flick almost hit Yao Jiancai next to him.

Yao Jian was so frightened that he ran back a few steps and said, "Take it easy, brother."

The martial arts instructor taught Zhang Ye a few more moves, but after Zhang Ye followed the instructions, he still couldn't match the words. The man and the sword couldn't cooperate at all. The elegance is not shown, and the bravery is not shown. Instead, the artistic conception of "an old farmer crossing the river" is shown, and he is still an old farmer who cannot swim.

"You learn from me"

"good."

"Watch my demonstration. In this way, the wrist should be straight, the lower body should be stable, and don't shake."

"Is this so? Am I okay with this?"

"Hey, what can I do? Are you doing aerobics?"

After struggling for a long time, the martial arts instructor couldn't stand it anymore, so Yu Jian called over a person who also played a supporting role. This person looked like he had probably practiced a few moves. The martial arts instructor asked the actor to give Zhang Ye a demonstration and try acting opposite him. But Zhang Ye is really a complete newcomer with no experience at all. He can't match up with the other party at all. It's not that he can't match the lines, but his martial arts movements are not good enough. The actor also became depressed in the end.

After the filming of the scene over there, many people noticed the movement here. Seeing Zhang Ye "clumsily" wielding a knife and a gun, many people found it funny.

"hehe."

"What is this?"

"Can you film a movie here? Also film a martial arts movie?"

"The movements are quite strong. I really didn't realize how strong he was? I think his kicks are also very powerful, but... they just don't look good. They're too ugly."

"What's the use of being famous in the capital? It's not acting material."

"Don't make sarcastic remarks. Do you think Teacher Zhang has been working in this circle since he was a child? Teacher Zhang is a scholar, and he still laughs at others? Let me tell you, let's take the literature out of everyone in our crew. All the qualities put together are not as good as Teacher Zhang’s alone.”

"So there are specialties in the art industry."

"I'm not laughing at him, but we are filming a movie after all, and we are not comparing culture."

The play was over and there might be a change of scene, so as soon as there was a break, more and more people gathered around. Some were watching the fun, while others were kind-hearted and wanted to help with ideas.

The actress who had taken a photo with Zhang Ye said: "How about changing some of the moves? The previous ones were really too difficult, even professional martial arts actors would have difficulty doing them."

The martial arts director sighed: "It's all decided. If we change it now, we have to redesign it. It's too late. The director said it will be completed in the next two days. Where can I have this time?"

Yao Jiancai asked: "When is Zhang Ye's play?"

The assistant director also came over to watch, "Just tonight, I will take a car to change venues and go to a temple."

"Tonight? If you want to practice for a few days, you won't be able to catch up." Yao Jiancai also became worried for Zhang Ye.

The most angry person was of course Zhang Ye himself. How had this guy ever been so embarrassed, surrounded by so many people? Pointing? He was also a little blushing, but he didn't think there was anything irregular about his movements. He was swinging his sword and kicking his legs. He was doing these things in a decent way, but those people didn't agree. They just thought What Zhang Ye did was not standard. Why? Because this is a movie, what is important is an effect, what is beautiful, what is important is style, the martial arts director and a few other martial arts actors must have some basic skills, at most they are just a little bit. Even though some of those people were relatively big, if they really wanted to fight, Zhang Ye estimated that he would have no problem knocking down anyone in a one-on-one fight - and this was even if he couldn't use Tai Chi. .

This is not a big statement.

What did Zhang Ye practice?

Taekwondo and Tai Chi

One is foreigners’ fighting skills and the other is Chinese traditional martial arts.

Regardless of the former or the latter, in the final analysis these skills are used to defeat the enemy. A punch or a kick is a real attack, not for showmanship or joking. But what is the emphasis on martial arts when they make movies? It pays more attention to being free and elegant. Every movement is open and closed. You can't wait to do dozens of backflips in mid-air and then kick the enemy away. This is what they think is awesome.

But in Zhang Ye's opinion, he looks stupid

As long as you were able to look cool by rolling in mid-air, the enemy would have already kicked you and rolled you. The flaw is too big.

However, this is the difference between the industries. Zhang Ye does not ignore others just because he has practiced some kung fu. He knows that when you enter someone else's territory and industry, you have to listen to them. This group of martial arts Instructors are professionals. This is not a question of whether they know kung fu. If a master who has practiced martial arts comes to guide him, I don’t know how this movie will turn out. The action is probably not good.

Zhang Ye still maintained an open mind, studying and practicing with the martial arts instructor, trying to adapt himself to this "show martial arts" that seemed a bit silly to him.
