Chapter 8 Newcomer and new atmosphere
The person who called Chu Yue was Yuan Bin. In his eyes, Chu Yue's movements were very smooth just now, and it was definitely not something that ordinary people could do. He immediately guessed whether Chu Yue had practiced martial arts. This was not surprising twenty years ago, but now there were actors practicing martial arts.
"The Yuan coach really has a sharp look. I have practiced a little Wing Chun and Xingyi before!" Chu Yue was slightly stunned, and admired the vision of these old-fashioned action guides: "I have a very low level, but I just learned a little by chance!"
"No wonder, no wonder!" Yuan Bin's face suddenly realized. No wonder Chu Yue's movements were smooth and agile just now. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Chu Yue again and patted his shoulder: "Do it well, your future is limitless!"
Chu Yue felt helpless. Such an unlimited future may not be what he wanted. However, he has indeed learned Wing Chun and Xingyi, and even Tai Chi, he has a little bit of it. In a sense, this is obviously a good thing for the actor's acting career.
Many years ago, Chu Yue once became a disciple of martial arts. His master was more like a secluded senior, who liked to travel around the world and had a wide range of knowledge of various sects, such as Wing Chun and Xingyi. However, Chu Yue himself did not have the ability of his master, and only learned Xingyi and Wing Chun.
Of course, don’t think that what Chu Yue learned was the kind of exaggerated martial arts that could fly into the sky and the earth, just the real skill of fighting with hard bridges and hard horses. Chu Yue was often taught by his master before, saying that although he was qualified, he was not as good as his senior brother.
Chu Yue came to Hong Kong after he went to college. He originally planned to enter the film industry as an action guide, but unexpectedly, he learned makeup skills by his seniors in the film industry. By chance, he entered the film industry as a makeup artist.
Today's drama went smoothly. The only thing that has caused Chu Yue's headache these days is that since he wants to act, he doesn't have much time to deal with makeup. Fortunately, after getting familiar with the crew, his subordinates and Long Jiahao gradually got started. When they become proficient, they move much faster.
While the crew was busy as a worker ants, the outside world focused on Du Qifeng's new work. As the mainstay of Hong Kong films, Du Qifeng's every move is the focus of everyone's attention. Therefore, the "March of the World", originally named "Choose Old Man", has not yet been released, but its name has appeared in major media and has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
When the outline of the film was revealed, I learned that Du Qifeng returned to the gang theme this time, and the outside world was eagerly looking forward to it. You should know that Du Qifeng is very good at gang themes, and gangster films are coming to the peak through the release of "Gun Fire". This time, he once again slashed at the gang theme, which of course attracted the infinite imagination of all media and fans.
However, what makes the outside world curious is that Du Qifeng likes to use familiar actors the most. This time, in the group photo of the main members of the crew, there is a young man with a good look and a very attractive appearance. What kind of role does this young man have in this drama? This makes people's curiosity rapidly expand.
Not to mention the media far away in the mainland, even the local media in Hong Kong are extremely curious. It is obviously easy to find out who the young man is, the media quickly learned that Chu Yue was actually a makeup artist, and he was less than three years old, and he was stunned. He was wondering when Adu was so generous and an important supporting role could be played by others at will!
No matter at any moment, there is always a noise. When most of the outside world's views are rejoicing for this perhaps classic film, there is a voice that always worrys that "Gun Fire" and "Dark Flower" are the peaks of gangsters. If Adu wants to break through the peak, he may be backfired and make this drama into a bad movie.
No matter how the media spread outside, it has nothing to do with the crew, and everyone is still busy filming. Chu Yue discovered some interesting things in this process. Once Du Qifeng filmed his personal style works, he basically did not consider the existence of the media. If there were commercial works such as "Dragon and Phoenix Fight", he would probably use the media to hype it up!
Now that "The Underworld" is being hyped up in the outside world, Du Qifeng is indifferent and just keeps himself in his work. This may prove that this drama is a personal style work in his eyes.
The film's hot hype in the outside world also disturbed Chu Yue's normal life. No matter what, when he appeared on the list of supporting roles in Du Qifeng's works, as a newcomer, he was destined to be baptized by others.
On this day, after work, Ren Dahua asked everyone to go to the bar together. Although Gu Tianle did not come to the crew because there was no notice, Liang Jiahui and other starring actors were all there. They went to the bar together, found Zhang Taizi and sat down, and asked for wine and chatting while bragging about something.
The atmosphere was very warm. I don’t know when everyone’s topic suddenly turned to Chu Yue. Lin Xue laughed loudly and said, “A Yue, you have played such a supporting role as soon as you come. I’m so envious! If he promotes you to be the male lead, you will be very popular!”
The others suddenly claimed that it was. Zhang Zhaohui looked at Chu Yue with a depressed face, and then took a sip of wine and said, "If I hadn't always told Director Du that I hope he would play the role of me, it wouldn't be my turn to play the role of the policeman in "The Big Brother". Now, as a newcomer, you have such a good start, which is really enviable!"
Zhang Zhaohui is actually an actor of TVB, but Du Qifeng has always had a great relationship with TVB. Many of his actors and directors have always come from TVB. Shao Meiqi, the most powerful actress under Adu, is a person from TVB, and Lin Jiadong is also a person from TVB, while You Hai and Wei Jiahui both came from TVB in their early years.
Chu Yue can understand that Zhang Zhaohui said this. Lin Xue has always liked acting very much. In many films in the 1990s and even earlier, he was able to see him among some supporting actors such as Passerby A. Since Lin Xue followed Du Qifeng, she has been pestering Du Qifeng to play him. In 1998, she finally got the chance to star in "Goodbye A Lang". She impressed A Du by her performance, and became the top gold medal supporting actor in Hong Kong after "Gun Fire" and "Secret War".
No matter how understanding is, Chu Yue still doesn't think that being a supporting role under Du Qifeng can be so popular. No matter how popular it is, it will be difficult to be the starring role. However, if you can become the male lead, you will definitely become famous. Unfortunately, Chu Yue obviously would not be stupid enough to think that he is the male lead in "The Underworld", and he would not think that Du Qifeng would find him to be the protagonist in future dramas.
In order to avoid the danger of this topic continuing, Chu Yue smiled cunningly and raised his glass to toast everyone: "I wish you all, thank you for your help on the crew first!"
He drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp. Seeing that everyone had drunk the wine, a bright smile appeared on his face, looking at Ren Dahua and Liang Jiahui like a star chasing man and laughed: "Brother Hua, Brother Hui, Adu's drama is likely to become a classic. You may be competing for the best actor at the Academy Awards next year! What do you think of the two!" As he said that, he even handed it forward with a beer bottle as a microphone.
"Go and go, it's too early to talk about being shortlisted now!" In private, Ren Dahua was a little more reserved. Although he was not as relaxed as Liang Jiahui, he was quite kind. Seeing Chu Yue doing this, he immediately laughed and scolded: "You acted very well, and even Adu praised him. Maybe next year he will be the best supporting actor you won the next year!"
"There is no way, Brother Hua doesn't cooperate!" Chu Yue shrugged Xiang Linxue and others, and then pointed the bottle at Liang Jiahui: "Brother Hui, Brother Hua doesn't cooperate. If you don't cooperate, then I can't explain it when I go back!"
Liang Jiahui couldn't help laughing, patted the wine bottle and laughed: "Since you can't explain when you go back, then don't be a reporter. Forget it, change your career and become an actor. Ah Xia and I support you!"
There may be many unpleasant things to film under Du Qifeng, such as being scolded so much that Wu Zhenyu had a falling out with Du Qifeng because of this. However, one thing is enviable, that is, the crew members are very kind. After all, Adu's crew is just acquaintances, and no one is embarrassed to really be unable to get along with anyone.
Besides, Du Qifeng can now be regarded as one of the most identity and influential directors in Hong Kong, and it is not impossible to even remove one of them. Under such a director's management, if you want to really make something happen, you are afraid that you will be suppressed in two or three strokes.
Therefore, although Chu Yue is a newcomer, everyone is not shy about talking and laughing, and they can talk to him very much. Moreover, Chu Yue's appearance and demeanor make people feel intimate and have no lack of politeness and respect in dealing with things. Only after joining the crew did everyone's favorites quickly.
He smiled helplessly, and Chu Yue suddenly thought about something and asked Ren Dahua and Liang Jiahui: "Brother Hua, Brother Hui, I have a friend who wrote the script. What do you think he is going to do?"
"It is best to submit it to a production company. Usually, the production and distribution company do not involve these specific matters!" Liang Jiahui thought for a moment and immediately gave the answer. Lin Xue interrupted: "Just give it to other companies, don't give it to Galaxy!"
Everyone was stunned and then laughed. Yes, Galaxy already has the strongest screenwriter team in Hong Kong, and it doesn't need to rely on external scripts at all. I believe there is not much screenwriter confidence that it is so great that it can compare Galaxy's screenwriter team!
