Chapter 111 The Foolish Wise Man

Seeing Zhou Xingchi's smile, Luo Xun was also much more relaxed. He recalled the interview with Yuan Heping by reporters after the hit of "Kung Fu" in his previous life.

"Is Zhou Xingchi easy to communicate with?"

The question asked by the media was also aimed at the news that Zhou Xingchi had conflicts with his collaborators. Yuan Heping smiled and said: "Zhou Xingchi is not a cannibal. I don't know how he is with others. There is no problem communicating with me. We are all very good."

Thinking about it.

Yuan Heping added: "I think every director has a different style. In fact, his request is not excessive. He wants to achieve his ideas. How to play this shot well? Your actor may not be ideal. He will reshoot again and again. I think it is right for a director. When I was filming in Hollywood, I could have more than 30 NGs for a close-up. All kinds of expressions had to be made for the director to see. Yes, I think this request is not excessive."

Yes.

Not excessive.

When Zhou Xingchi got the right idea, his smile was pure and not mixed with other things. So why can Yuan Heping, who can cooperate well with Hollywood, get along well with Zhou Xingchi?

One day.

Just passed.

Because of Luo Xun's existence, Hong Jinbao and Zhou Xingchi never had any conflicts again. Both conflicts were eliminated invisibly by Luo Xun's accurate suggestions.

In the next few days.

An unexpected change occurred in the crew. Everyone was shocked to find that Luo Xun had become the deputy director of the crew, with a higher status than before, above all the actors except Zhou Xingchi!

During the filming.

Zhou Xingchi would communicate with Luo Xun if he had any new ideas, and would also discuss with Luo Xun if he had any new ideas. If that was all, everyone could only say that Zhou Xingchi was promoting Luo Xun, but Luo Xun always hit the nail on the head and put forward suggestions that Zhou Xingchi approved!

Now it's fun.

Even those actors who liked to gossip behind the scenes before became more honest. Some people began to realize that this young actor has real skills. With his current weight in Zhou Xingchi's eyes, ordinary people can't compare.

Not just participating in plot discussions.

Regarding the action design in this movie, Luo Xun has completely become Zhou Xingchi's spokesperson. He implements Zhou Xingchi's ideas and communicates with Hong Jinbao. In many cases, Zhou Xingchi is responsible for proposing the desired effect, while Luo Xun is responsible for turning the effect into accurate actions. As for Hong Jinbao, he only needs to be the executor of the final action.

Everyone is happy!

Many people think so, because the most obvious change is that with the existence of Luo Xun, Zhou Xingchi and Hong Jinbao no longer have any conflicts. The former is responsible for proposing ideas and the latter is responsible for implementation. Luo Xun is like a lubricant, making the running-in of the two big guys smoother and the cooperation complements each other!

However, Luo Xun doesn't think so.

As a martial arts instructor, Hong Jinbao has actually directed many movies. He is a big boss in the industry with a very distinctive personal style. For Hong Jinbao, the fighting scenes he designed basically have the characteristics and shadows of the Hong Family Class!

But who is Zhou Xingchi?

In terms of personal style, Zhou Xingchi's personal style is more obvious than Hong Jinbao. How could he allow others to design actions in his own studio in a way he doesn't like?

This is the contradiction.

His existence buffered the contradiction between Zhou Xingchi and Hong Jinbao, making Hong Jinbao unable to display his thousands of ideas. Instead, he kept practicing Zhou Xingchi's ideas like a puppet. Such a situation was difficult for Hong Jinbao to tolerate. Maybe there will be some changes?

Luo Xun frowned and thought.

He decided to reduce his presence appropriately.

Time went by in mid-July. The filming of "Kung Fu" had been going on for a month. The stumbling in the early stage became a thing of the past. Xingye also suppressed the Hong Kong actors who were ready to move before.

The reason is very simple.

Hong Jinbao, the only big boss who is qualified to challenge Zhou Xingchi, stopped making trouble and cooperated with Zhou Xingchi steadily. How dare other actors provoke Zhou Xingchi, the tyrant on the studio?

As a bystander

Luo Xun understood why Zhou Xingchi was determined to be a tyrant on the set, because this was indeed the most convenient way and the most effective way to improve the efficiency of the crew. If he were a director, what would his style be?

Maybe he would also be a tyrant?

Luo Xun thought about it and suddenly laughed. He was just a small actor and a newcomer in his second year. Why should he think from the perspective of a director...

That afternoon.

Luo Xun made another constructive suggestion, which was about the battle between Huoyun Evil God and the landlord and the landlady. This scene was a classic in "Kung Fu". Zhou Xingchi was in trouble about how to make trouble for Huoyun Evil God. Hong Jinbao couldn't design a move that satisfied him. Luo Xun, who wanted to reduce his presence, had to stand up.

"Use the bell."

"The landlady's Lion Roaring Skill can use the horn of the big bell to increase the power several times, and the landlord is responsible for carrying the bell. In this way, even if Huoyun Evil God is hit head-on, he will not be able to bear it."

As expected.

Luo Xun's suggestion was immediately accepted by Zhou Xingchi, while Hong Jinbao, who had been struggling with this problem for a long time, frowned visibly, and finally nodded in agreement silently.

Luo Xun saw it.

Finally, the filming went smoothly. Sammo Hung received accurate instructions, and the actions he designed could still satisfy Zhou Xingchi's appetite. After all, his reputation over the years was built with real swords and guns.

But...

That night, Luo Xun knocked on Zhou Xingchi's door again. Zhou Xingchi was a little surprised, but he still let Luo Xun in, and then joked: "Fortunately you are not an actress, otherwise the fun would be too much."

Luo Xun didn't intend to joke.

He looked at Zhou Xingchi seriously and said: "Be prepared, Director Zhou, maybe Sammo Hung will leave the "Kung Fu" crew soon."

"You know?"

Zhou Xingchi's expression was not surprised.

This time it was Luo Xun who was surprised: "Has he already told Director Zhou the truth? It's a little different from what I thought. I thought he..."

"No, he didn't tell me the truth."

Zhou Xingchi smiled faintly: "But it's not hard to guess. He and I are both filmmakers with very distinctive styles. He is unwilling to become a puppet for me to realize my own intentions. He has his own ideas, and his ideas and my ideas are destined to run counter to each other, so we can't work together until the end of the movie. His departure is just a matter of time."

"Director Zhou, you are so smart."

"I said, if you are a smart fool, I am a stupid wise man. Don't worry, I have contacted Yuan Heping in advance and will not cause chaos to the crew."
