Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 424 422. Changing face

The summer sun is so dazzling that the cement floor in the Beijing Film Studio seems to be glowing.

In the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon training ground, Chen Li'an squinted at the actors who were training.

Zhang Jing was teaching a young actress martial arts moves. Chen Li'an carefully observed his skills and found that his kung fu skills were really good, his waist and horse were stable, and his movements were clean and neat.

But most of them are martial arts performance routines, and I don’t know what the real Kung Fu foundation is.

Chen Li'an remembered reading in the newspaper last year that Zhang Jing won the national martial arts championship. He thought his kung fu was passable.

This is not because Chen Li'an looks down on Zhang Jing. Most of these national martial arts champions or students from sports schools practice martial arts routines.

Chen Li'an has fought with students from Shichahai Sports School before. Although they know all kinds of boxing skills and are very mature in their training, the feeling of fighting is completely different.

The secrets of each move and the technique of exerting force are all different from those practiced by Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an's is an orthodox Bagua boxing. Master Qi taught it bit by bit since he was a child. It is different from the mass-produced Chinese cabbage.

People who practice martial arts routines like this know a lot of boxing techniques, but very few of them are extremely sophisticated.

Chen Li'an lost interest after watching it for a while. If he was asked to compete with Zhang Jing, he might still be a little interested. Watching this kind of martial arts routine performance is not interesting.

If Kung Fu is performed beautifully, it will lose its practicality and will have no power at all.

The more movements there are, the less powerful it will be. The better the pose, the more difficult it will be to exert force, and the punches will have little power.

Especially for people like Bagua who are shady and full of dirty tricks, who has the time to put on a good show.

Chen Li'an was accompanied by a staff member from Beijing Film Studio. He was about to go and talk to Li An, but was stopped by Chen Li'an.

Seeing that Chen Li'an was no longer interested, he smiled and said, "Teacher Chen, it's too hot here. Why don't you go inside and sit for a while? Director Li An is here today, and Director Feng Xiaogang came here just now."

"Are you preparing for the audition?" Chen Li'an turned to look at him and asked.

"Yes, Director Li An asked Brother Fa to come with him, but Brother Fa has not arrived yet."

Chen Li'an nodded and said, "Okay, take me there."

In the room on the other side, Li An, Feng Xiaogang and several people from the crew were chatting without embarrassment. Zhang Ziyi was sitting aside, concentrating on emotions and not joining in the chat.

At this time, Chen Li'an opened the door and came in, immediately attracting the attention of these people.

"Teacher Chen!" Zhang Ziyi immediately stood up happily, and the energy he had just now disappeared again.

Chen Li'an frowned slightly, nodded to her and said, "Get ready for the audition."

Zhang Ziyi pursed his lips and did not dare to continue talking.

"Hello, I'm Li An." Li An also came over and shook hands with Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I am Chen Li'an."

Feng Xiaogang also smiled and added: "Mr. Chen, we meet again. I knew I would come with you."

Chen Li'an nodded slightly to him, then looked at Li An and said, "Director Li, it doesn't matter if I come over to join in the fun."

"Of course not, welcome." Li An looked at Chen Li'an with a smile and said politely: "Let's sit down for a while. We will have an audition later, so I would like to ask Teacher Chen to help me take a look."

Li An was also called Teacher Chen unconsciously. Maybe because he had been in Hollywood for a long time, he would always be unconsciously shorter than someone like Chen Li'an.

After all, Hollywood is a place that values ​​capital, and directors are always tools working for capital.

After several people sat down again, Chen Li'an took the initiative and asked, "What do Director Li think of Ziyi?"

When Li An heard Chen Li'an calling Zhang Ziyi such an affectionate name, he immediately smiled and said, "It's very good. When I came over just after changing my costume, my eyes really lit up. It's almost exactly the same as the Yu Jiaolong I imagined."

Zhang Ziyi, who was sitting next to her, suddenly felt happy, but she didn't dare to laugh when Chen Li'an was here, for fear of being disliked by Chen Li'an again.

Hold! It's Yu Jiaolong now, not Zhang Ziyi, so we can't embarrass Teacher Chen!

Zhang Ziyi cheered for himself silently in his heart, and the heroic spirit between his eyebrows became even more abundant.

Feng Xiaogang also said flatteringly at this time: "This little girl is indeed good. She is a good prospect. She will definitely become a good actress in the future."

Chen Li'an smiled, raised his wrist and looked at the time, and then asked pretending to be curious: "Why don't you just find someone to play with you for the audition? Why do you have to wait for Zhou Runfa to come over?"

Li An immediately smiled and explained: "I want to see what it feels like for two people to stand together, and also to make adjustments on the way of service."

Chen Li'an nodded slightly and understood the meaning of Li An's words. It was a personal favor to tell him this.

But after waiting for more than ten minutes, no one came. Chen Li'an became a little annoyed. He glanced at the time on his watch, stood up and said to Li An: "Director Li, I have something else to do, so I will leave today. Next time I’ll treat you to dinner if I get the chance.”

Zhang Ziyi felt a little panicked when he heard that Chen Li'an was leaving. He turned to look at Chen Li'an, but was pushed back by Chen Li'an's eyes before he could speak.

Li An said with some pity: "I still want to talk to Teacher Chen more, so I will have a good chat next time I have a chance."

"Definitely next time." Chen Li'an said and was about to leave. The door to the room was pushed open first, and Zhou Runfa walked in wearing a long gown.

"Prayer, who is Shi Jing to blame for our country?" Zhou Runfa had a smile on his face, but his tone was not very good, because he saw Zhang Ziyi and felt very unhappy. He was auditioning for Zhang Ziyi and he had to come over to act with him?

Chen Li'an and Li An looked at each other and turned to look at Zhou Runfa.

Li An smiled and went over to explain to Zhou Runfa. Chen Li'an frowned and looked at Feng Xiaogang and said, "Do you understand what he just said?"

What Zhou Runfa just said was neither Cantonese nor Mandarin, which was very awkward, and gave him a sense of déjà vu.

Feng Xiaogang frowned and said with a grin: "Director, who are you asking me to audition for? It's probably this one."

Chen Li'an nodded slightly. He knew that Zhou Runfa's Mandarin was not good, and the Mandarin he spoke in his previous life was not very good in the past ten or twenty years, but he did not expect that his current Mandarin is even worse.

The current Mandarin is not as good as the performance in the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon feature film, and I don’t know how it was filmed.

At this time, Zhou Runfa also saw Chen Li'an. How could he not recognize this man who had made headlines in Xiangjiang many times.

So I immediately put on a smile and walked over to say hello in Cantonese.

"Hello Chen Sheng, I didn't expect to see you here. Last time Leslie asked me to come over and play cards with you, but I couldn't go because of filming. I still regret it now."

Chen Li'an shook his hand, then pulled it back and said with a smile: "You are the god of gambling. Fortunately, you didn't go, otherwise you would have won."

"Haha, he is the God of Gamblers in the movie, but in reality I am not very good at it." Zhou Runfa said with a smile.

Chen Li'an smiled, then stretched out his hand to wave to Zhang Ziyi and said: "Zi Yi, come here, I will learn from others on the set in the future."

Zhou Runfa was slightly surprised, then turned to look at Zhang Ziyi with a smile and said, "You can tell me anything in the future, we are all friends."

Zhang Ziyi was polite for a moment, but in his heart he could clearly see Zhou Runfa's change of expression. If it weren't for Chen Li'an, why would he be so polite to him.

I have something to do today, so I will update a chapter first and make up for it tomorrow.
