Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 31 - It sucks, it really sucks

"Li Gang, Jing Wen, you two sit at the table on the left. Let's talk about sports and not politics or gossip." Wu Jing stood up from behind the monitor and adjusted everyone's seats.

Reba was originally sitting on the outside of the aisle, but in order to highlight the "key figure" Chen Yu, Wu Jing asked Reba and Chen Yu to switch places so that the camera could give the latter a close-up from the front.

According to Wu Jing, Chen Yu's extremely cute little face can easily attract a large number of sister fans and mother fans to "Wolf Warrior II", so she can only temporarily give in to Reba.

"When a boyfriend or husband goes out to watch a movie, he or she should bring his/her lover or loved one with him, and add an unlucky child to the table." Wu Jing, who kept poking his head behind the monitor, swayed back and forth to look at Chen Yu's position.

But if it is a girlfriend or wife who wants to go to the cinema to watch a certain movie or a certain actor, then they will basically bring their entire family or call their close friends to buy tickets in small or large groups.

"So relying on Chen Yu to make money from the majority of lesbians is an important task of "Wolf Warrior II" at this stage." Wu Jing straightened his back, raised his head slightly, stretched out his right hand to Reba, Yu Nan, Xie Nan and other women present. The comrade nodded repeatedly like a weather-beaten old party secretary.

After hearing this, Yu Nan immediately put his arms around Reba Yu's neck and asked Wu Jing in an angry voice, why couldn't a cold Sa and a beautiful top "goddess" help "Wolf Warrior II" make money? Furthermore, "Wolf Warrior II" was filmed for a male audience, how could it possibly attract girls?

"Fighting again, right? You should stop hanging out with Zhang Yuqi in the future." Wu Jing was shaking his head as soon as he finished speaking, and Yu Nan threw the AJ high-top basketball shoes he was wearing at him.

Yu Nan-Wang Anquan-Zhang Yuqi, and only a few people like Wu Jing and Huang Bo who are very familiar with Yu Nan can make this joke. If it were anyone else, there is a high probability that they would stage a "full martial arts" fighting and killing drama.

Chen Yu looked inexplicably at Wu Jing, who was being huddled up in a corner by Xie Nan and was being scolded. He then secretly glanced at the heroine Yu Nan who was tying his shoelaces and then looked sideways at Reba who was sitting upright.

"I had an affair with that little bitch Zhang Yuqi, and she was a [star girl], a shameless, unruly, crotchless, stinky bitch." Yu Nan's personality is indeed more like a boy's "sweet talk". Reba didn't even dare to blink after hearing this.

It is said that Yu Nan was pregnant when Wang Anquan was filming "White Deer Plain", but Zhang Yuqi, who did not follow martial arts ethics, ignored the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry and still knocked on Wang Anquan's door in order to obtain greater profits, so that in the end Yu Nan could only get one. Paper divorce papers eliminate abortion.

Wu Jing, who invited Chen Yu to pee with him, leaned against the sink and told the "newbie in the entertainment industry" the gossip and secrets of the past.

"Now even though Yu Nan and Wang Anquan have reconciled with each other, whoever dares to say good things about Zhang Yuqi in front of Yu Nan, except for the elders like us, will definitely die." Wu Jing subconsciously handed Chen Yu a Hongtashan and took out a dollar. Shake the flame breaker twice.

Wu Jing, who recently finished filming "Wolf Warrior II", has another big job: Xie Nan wants to have a second child, so Wu Jing, who is about to enter the pregnancy preparation stage, has been strictly restricted from smoking and drinking.

"Brother, have you ever heard of the saying [Tashan's clouds are always there]?" Wu Jing was not angry at Chen Yu for not taking his cigarette. After all, he was a world boxing champion and an international super giant who had the right to refuse.

To put it bluntly, if it were someone else, even if the other person nodded and bent down to offer him a cigarette, Wu Jing would not even bother to take a second look, let alone accept it.

This is by no means Wu Jing's "showing off as a big star". No matter what level you are in the entertainment industry, you must abide by the rules and gameplay of that level. If Wu Jing always behaves in an extremely "courteous and virtuous manner", it will lower the overall "competition" of the level.

"The [circle] is never your own business. This seemingly clear pool of stagnant water is more difficult to conquer than the bloody octagonal cage." Wu Jing's eyes looked extremely tired when he said this.

Because he was taking care of Chen Yu, a professional boxer, Wu Jing was embarrassed to set the red pagoda mountain on fire on his lips. As he said before, Chen Yu was definitely qualified to ask Wu Jing to accommodate his feelings.

"Hey, you two are so old and still go to the toilet together. Is it possible that [Wolf Warrior] and [Boxing Champion] are less courageous than the eye of an embroidery needle?" Yu Nan said while tapping his wrist to ask Wu Jing to hurry up and turn on the phone. , she had just made an appointment with Reba and Xie Nan to go shopping.

The lighting, radio, camera and other functional departments decided the positions again. Wu Jing asked Ao Zhijun, who had come back specially to help with the post-production process, to look at the monitor, and then he trotted over to sit opposite Chen Yu.

"Mr. Leng Feng, I know you will feel a lot of pressure sitting across from the handsome guy, but please relax a little bit." The "nigger" in "Infernal Affairs II" whistled at Wu Jing.

Then Ao Zhijun reminded Chen Yu that he always glanced at the camera secretly. Although his movements had become both fast and concealed due to being tested in the octagonal cage for many years, they were clearly shown in the picture.

Moreover, when Chen Yu does this action, his eyes will suddenly become extremely sinister and cruel.

"Don't transfer the mental state of fighting in the Octagon to acting." Ao Zhijun clapped his hands and told Chen Yu to look at his fingertips with the eyes of the boy next door.

As one of the gold medal lensmen in the Hong Kong film industry, Ao Zhijun is very aware of the shortcomings of "cross-border noobs" like Chen Yu, so he pointedly told Chen Yu that the lens is not offensive in any way and you can trust it.

In fact, Ao Zhijun is very reluctant to cooperate with Chen Yu or guide him on how to act. Because Chen Yu's cross-border distance can be said to have reached the level of "bullshit".

If you tell Chen Yu a lot of words that even the extras understand, he will be confused and express that he doesn't understand. This means that after Ao Zhijun finished speaking, he had to trouble Reba to "translate and repeat" for Chen Yu.

Wu Jing, who originally thought his acting skills were poor enough, saw how useless Chen Yu was, and instantly began to imagine the scene in his mind of holding the Best Actor trophy in his hand.

"Stop, pause, Chen Yu, don't subconsciously arch your back when you look at Wu Jing. Although your movement is very small, it appears extremely aggressive when put in the picture." Ao Zhijun clamped the unlit Hongwan at the corner of his lips to his ear. Then imitate Chen Yu's posture.

The Octagon is also surrounded by a large number of cameras and eyes, so Chen Yu, who is on the set, will always unknowingly bring himself back to the bloody ring.

Yu Nan next to Wu Jing and Reba inside Chen Yu have begun to lose focus.

The main reason is that the shot that was originally expected to be completed in twenty minutes actually took nearly eighty minutes.

When Reba, Yu Nan, and Wu Jing led Chen Yu to just walk around without being surrounded by cameras, Chen Yu's performance was very stable and above the passing level according to Ao Zhijun.

But as soon as Chen Yu was put on camera, he immediately turned into a "killer bee". He naturally treated the set like an octagonal cage with a stiff expression, tense body, and always forgetting to say his words.

The main reason why Chen Yu was not so "embarrassed" when recording "Lunch Talk" with Reba and Zeng Jia was that he didn't pay much attention to variety shows and his mentality was simple: to play.

"Well, brother, to be honest, making movies and being an actor is just that." Wu Jing asked Chen Yu to take a sip of sweet, freshly squeezed orange juice.

Then he told Chen Yu that whether he wins or loses in boxing is all up to him, but whether a film or TV series makes money or not has little to do with the actors. Some movies are destined to be famous, and some movies are destined to be flops.

Since Reba was by Chen Yu's side to help comfort him, Wu Jing was embarrassed to talk about the miserable current situation in which the new generation of actors in the domestic TV drama circle were not even much better than Chen Yu.

Yu Nan saw that Wu Jing was frustrated that he wanted to say something but couldn't, so he took advantage of the break to ask Reba and Xie Nan to accompany him to the bathroom to adjust his bra.

"Today's audience is like [The General from the Silk Road]. They choose the less disgusting ones from a lot of bad movies." Wu Jing sent the surrounding staff away and leaned over to chat with Chen Yu about the truth about domestic film and television dramas.

"Other than being packaged with patriotism, my "Wolf Warrior II" is not much different from "The Expendables" or "Taken"." Wu Jing slightly raised the orange juice and clinked the glass with Chen Yu.

This is by no means a superficial friendship. A lot of things can be known by just asking people in the circle, so there is no need for Wu Jing to tuck it in and hide it to show that he is not upright enough.

"I'll give you an autographed DVD of "Wolf Warrior 1" later. You'll know when you take a look at it. It's all a popcorn movie with illogical logic and random fabrication. So don't be nervous and don't think of making a movie. Being an actor is too [sacred]."

Wu Jing and Cheng Long are different. The latter has acting skills. However, in his early years, Cheng Long's acting skills were obscured by his action scenes, making it difficult for the audience to detect them.

On the contrary, when Wu Jinggang debuted, he followed the route of good looks + kung fu;
Now it has gradually evolved and upgraded into a combination of tough guy + action.

Even Wu Jing himself doesn't think he has anything to do with the word "acting".

Wu Jing asked the prop team to go to the Starbucks mobile sales van outside to get four more vanilla cakes.

"As for your wife's acting skills... I think you should be at least two levels better than her as long as you adjust your mentality." Wu Jing believes that Reba's popularity is due to her appearance, and Chen Yu in front of her still has some potential.

It’s just that Ao Zhijun wasn’t around, otherwise he would definitely ridicule Wu Jing. His acting skills are only just above the passing line, but he still has the nerve to criticize other artists?
"Xiao Di, I think that person in your family is likely to become a [floor tile] in the actor industry in the future, unless there is a role that particularly suits him..." Yu Nan didn't say any more, but Reba could understand her. eyes.

But what puzzles Reba the most is why Chen Yu always feels that his acting skills are better than hers? Who gave you the courage and confidence?

　2939, I hope everyone will interact more
