Winter has arrived, and the capital has ushered in its first snow. Heavy snow covers the entire city. This city dominated by steel bars, concrete and automobile exhaust finally has a little natural atmosphere under the snow.

Shao Yingxiong has been locking himself at home for two weeks. He has been watching things on the computer these two weeks. Among them, the most concerned ones are "Seeking Guns" and "Kangxi Dynasty".

These two dramas have not appeared yet, but these two dramas are works by Jiang Wen and Chen Daoming. If you want to know an actor and want to cooperate with the actors you know during the filming of "Blade 1937", you must have a certain understanding of it. However, the shooting is so close, how can the tacit understanding be accumulated in a short period of time? Therefore, Shao Yingxiong started doing his homework four months in advance. What he wanted was to be foolproof and what he wanted was when he appeared in front of the people in the circle again, Shao Yingxiong was no longer Feng Biao in "Conquest", and used shocking performances to prove his level improvement.

...

Zhang Wan also did not relax during the hard work of Shao Yingxiong. He almost went to all the big bookstores in the capital to find the two books he needed for Shao Yingxiong. Unfortunately, he didn't find any of them. Finally, he called Wang Zhongjun directly to ask about "Seeking Guns" and "The Great Emperor Kangxi". Although Zhang Wan couldn't understand why Shao Yingxiong suddenly wanted these two books, he could guess that this must be related to Shao Yingxiong's acting career, and the worst was that it was related to Shao Yingxiong's screenwriter career. As long as it was related to these two items, there was nothing that Wang Zhongjun didn't know.

During the inquiry, Wang Zhongjun hesitated for a moment. The answer he gave was that the book "The Great Emperor of Kangxi" did not exist at all. The script written by Er Yuehe was called "The Emperor of Kangxi". It has not been completed yet. Chen Daoming still plays the role of the Emperor of the Ages in the crew. "The Gun Search" is another script. This script is still under discussion and has not entered the group establishment process. Huayi just bought out the copyright.

This time it was Zhang Wan's turn to be surprised. He couldn't figure out who Shao Yingxiong was. Even if "The Kangxi Dynasty" might leak some news, "The Gun Search" would not be leaked into Shao Yingxiong's ears.

In the end, Zhang Wan took away two scripts from Huayi, and after Wang Zhongjun repeatedly told him not to leak it.

...

With the script, Shao Yingxiong was like God's help. In the cold behind the snow, he watched the script and computer alone under the air conditioner and studied Jiang Wen and Chen Daoming's performances frame by frame. At that moment, he seemed to have discovered a treasure house, a shining treasure house.

In the movie "Looking for Gun", Jiang Wen expresses the word "abrupt" vividly, from the panic of losing a gun to the thriller when solving a case to the pause of reciting lines when encountering an emergency. But in Shao Yingxiong's opinion, one more point is too much, and one less point is not enough. This is the fruit candy grabbed by a waiter who worked in a candy store for a long time. It is impossible to say that two taels are two taels and one cent is one cent.

After listing the evaluation of Jiang Wen's performance, Shao Yingxiong began to ask himself questions, which was why Jiang Wen could perform so clearly, so clear that he gave the audience a feeling of seeing the whole thing happen and moving forward with his own eyes.

This question is a bit difficult. Shao Yingxiong's ashtray at home was stuffed with smoke and farts again and again as he thought about it. After all the three cigarettes in the reserve turned into blue fog during the two stars, he found the answer.

That was the feeling of seeing the couple fighting in the community store when buying cigarettes. When the woman asked the man why he didn't go home at night, the man's answer was a little slow. After arrogance, the woman stuttered in her strong questioning eyes: "Drink, drink too much... who hasn't drunk too much, how can he hear the phone call after drinking too much? Who knows where he lives? If my buddy hadn't settled me in their house, I would have to sleep on the road."

What Shao Yingxiong cares about is not who is right or wrong among the couple. What he cares about is the man's reaction. The pause when he cannot respond proves that he is thinking. The stuttering afterwards was a little too late to deal with the other party's questioning. The lies in his mind have not turned into words, and the final smoothness is the relief after finally finding the reason.

Jiang Wen interpreted this to the limit, and he even brought this feeling to other actors in the gun hunting crew. Asking questions, pauses, thinking, and the lies in stuttering are continued, Jiang Wen's performance will immediately reflect one word, true!

Once the performance is real, it will be just right, because we have seen this expression in life, and we seem familiar, so he acts well!

Shao Yingxiong seemed to have grasped the trick to attract audiences, which is the ultimate of a pure Chinese performance.

If Sun Honglei's performance combines unique skills in European and American performances and oriental performances, Jiang Wen is a genius born with oriental acting skills. This genius started playing the leading male lead from his debut until the release of "Let the Bullets Fly", which was so uncontroversial.

Yes, in order to study ginger patterns, Shao Yingxiong also watched the bullets fly. There were obviously many lines in the improvisation, but ginger patterns were seamless. His acting skills were like the soil on the majestic mountains, which could smooth the gaps between all the stubborn stones.

Just like in "Let the Bullets Fly", Sister Hua wants to be a bandit, Zhang Mazi said no need to prepare. When Liao Fan took Zhang Mazi's words, "Brother said right," he added another sentence afterwards, "What I said just now is correct." The script added must not be the script after that, because Jiang Wen replied twice during the performance, and a little subtle expression for the second time. The whole performance was like a helplessness that a big brother showed in the face of his brother's mischievousness, but Shao Yingxiong knew that this helplessness was definitely because there was no such sentence in the line. Jiang Wen took it so smoothly in the sudden situation, and could continue to connect the plot. For such a steady actor, there is no need for praise, he exists there.

Compared with Jiang Wen, Chen Daoming is definitely an alternative. Chen Daoming, who is either a doctor or a teacher, is born with a kind of elegant and bookish spirit, but this bookish spirit is a bit distorted. Anyone can see the wildness that is trained after tomorrow. This is an actor who can create any situation and suppress any opponent.

Chen Daoming's performance in "The Kangxi Dynasty" was like a dream, and Shao Yingxiong was even more fascinated. However, compared the performance with the script, Shao Yingxiong almost glared out his eyes. This is a guy who always performs outside the circle.

There is a scene in "Kangxi Dynasty" where Kangxi faces his captured son in a warm pavilion. This is the sadness of Kangxi, who should have been a hero, when he saw his son so cowardly, made Chen Daoming become angry, especially he slapped him and said lines that were not in the script in anger. There was absolutely no slap and anger in the original work. Shao Yingxiong took the script and compared it many times!

Also, Kangxi roared at the ministers in the court meeting in the Golden Palace: "One of you is rotten, and the Qing Dynasty will be rotten. If you are all rotten, the Qing Dynasty will rise up everywhere, and we will all die without a place to bury us. Chongzhen has only been hanging in Coal Mountain for a few years, and that old crooked tree is still watching you!"

This was Kangxi who was punishing corruption, but Chen Daoming didn't follow the lines at all. He didn't say anything in the performance circle, but also said his heart. Everything was expressed through the play, which was completely in line with the plot.

Shao Yingxiong saw Chen Daoming's performance and smiled. He really didn't know what to do when Gao Qunshu met such an actor. Now he finally understood why Chen Daoming asked during the meeting: "Are you sure you want to use me?" Now, when he thinks back, Chen Daoming's last expression seemed to say: "That's what you deserve to be unlucky."

In two months, Shao Yingxiong spent two months studying these two actors. Through these two months of research, he found that tough guys should not only have temperament, but also have their own taste.

The smell here is not something that can be smelled, but something that allows the audience in front of the screen to taste. Sun Honglei's wildness, ginger pattern calmness, Chen Daoming's outspokenness and elegance, each of these tastes will add some characteristics to the temperament, which is the key to locking the audience's attention.

Shao Yingxiong's efforts for "Blade 1937" No matter that, he actually invited an 80-year-old man who had never left Huangpu in his life to come to the capital through Zhang Wan. He wanted to listen to the old man tell the story of the closest to that era. Even if it was a legend, this old man who was closer to that era was more reliable than the stories in the book.

In the next two months, Shao Yingxiong spent the rest of his life listening to stories, listening to the legends of major bosses in Huangpu and listening to the intrigues under the Huangpu table. For this reason, he even bought a book called "Modern Huangpu - Black Society", which tells the formation of Huangpu gangsters, the rise of the Qing Gang, and how the powerful Huangpu boss started his business.

Another month has passed, and Shao Yingxiong is as busy as a top, but in Zhang Wan's eyes, Shao Yingxiong has become an otaku, an otaku who never leaves the house and is even unwilling to work.

"Mr. Wang, have we read it wrong? I didn't appreciate what was surprising about this Shao Yingxiong? Except for the first time meeting, he kept himself at home."

"Xiao Zhang, determining whether a person has potential and whether it is worth cultivating is not about how ordinary he is on weekdays, but about how this person gets rid of ordinary at critical moments."

This is a call that Zhang Wan called Wang Zhongjun after four months of free time. Both of them said only one sentence during the call, but Shao Yingxiong's future barrier has been set. Whether he can succeed is the key to whether the future star road is open.

The reason why Wang Zhongjun insisted on giving Shao Yingxiong a chance was precisely because Shao Yingxiong was silent for three months. In these three months, he did not ask the company for a notice. This is definitely not the attitude that a positive artist should have. A Shao Yingxiong who can be so calm and exert all his strength through the drama "Blade 1937" is very much looking forward to Wang Zhongjun.

...

Bee, bee, bee.

Seeing the Spring Festival approaching, Shao Yingxiong, who was still busy, did not notice that there were fewer and fewer people on the roads in the capital, but he found that his phone was ringing.

When Shao Yingxiong, who was still studying acting skills, saw the strange number on the phone, pressed the switch button: "Hey?"

"Happy New Year, Screenwriter Shao, I'm Wu Subo. That's it. I have to apologize first. I got up late on the day of the meeting and didn't catch up. When I get there, you all leave."

Wu Subo? Isn’t this the one he ordered himself, who wants to play Tang Weitt?

Before Shao Yingxiong could ask why, Meng Wu explained: "Actually, it's not a special thing for me to be late. The night before, I was thinking about what I should do at the meeting. So the time for taking a shower was a bit long. I took a shower for four hours and slept until four o'clock the next day..."

puff!

Shao Yingxiong has already sprayed, and it was the first time he heard that someone who could take a bath for four hours.

No, Shao Yingxiong felt something was wrong. Shouldn’t he be angry when he heard all this? Why did Wu Subo say a few words without feeling angry at all?

"You mean, for the sake of what happened three months ago, you apologized to me three months later without any contact in three months?"

An awkward smile came from the other end of the phone: "That's not what I mean, I've actually apologized to others. I heard from Fu Biao that you highly recommend me to play Tang Weitt, or in such a big show, I thought about apologizing to you with a little sincerity. In addition, I am a slow person, and I have been thinking about how to apologize for three months... Hahahaha, right? I'm watching the New Year, I learned from Old Fu that you are from a foreigner. If you don't go home, why don't you come to our house for the New Year and just think that I'm apologizing to you." Wu Subo on the phone actually joked, and the end of the carelessness was really hard to add.

Shao Yingxiong couldn't hold it anymore, and he laughed at the other end of the phone and said, "This is the first time he heard of apologizing, but he is sure that this person can completely play Tang Weit alive."

"Also, this... Yuanyuan came to me a few days ago, and she also wanted to prepare. The person who can grasp the character's psychology best must be the screenwriter. Why don't we get together while the Chinese New Year?"
