Chapter 8 Proficient in all eighteen martial arts
Before Ding Xiu came in, Yuan Bing originally wanted him to play a supporting role with few roles, such as the Four Shows of Qingcheng.
It’s very troublesome to train actors these days, especially for martial arts scenes. Just lead the lead, and it’s time-consuming. There’s no need for supporting roles, and there aren’t many scenes. Just recruit martial arts actors. As long as the appearance is passable and the acting foundation is weak, it’s not necessary. Can make do.
Now it seems that if Ding Xiu is not lying, his martial arts foundation is not the least bit good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is omnipotent.
Fist and kick kung fu, plus swords, guns, swords and sticks, bows and arrows and horseback riding, you can't find a few in the entertainment industry.
He has a good-looking face, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and sharp edges. Without a shirt, you can tell he is a handsome guy in ancient costume.
The only drawback is that there is too little acting experience, or no acting experience at all. Performing in groups for a few days is not considered acting.
"What a pity." Huang Jianzhong sighed.
Li Jie, who just left, is in the opposite situation to Ding Xiu. Li Jie is a junior at Beidian. He has already filmed several movies. He has dancing skills, but he has never learned martial arts and cannot ride a horse. He is also a little older, in his twenties. Five years old.
Lin Pingzhi was twenty years old when he appeared. Even though Li Jie has good acting skills, he may not be able to portray the youthful feeling.
Ding Xiu has an advantage in this regard. He is twenty years old and doesn't even need to act.
"Is it true that you said you can ride a horse? To what extent can it be done?" Yuan Bing asked.
"It's like walking on flat ground."
The Qi family's army mainly fights on foot and horse. As the descendant of the Qi family sword, his weapon is the Yulin saber (the predecessor of the Miao sword). It is powerful and heavy, and can be opened and closed. The main partner is the horse.
Under the high-speed impact of the war horse, the man and the horse become one, and a single knife can cut through a tree as thick as a thigh.
Yuan Bing: "Young people should not be too full of words."
Ding Xiu shrugged: "Just tell the truth, director, can I play Lin Pingzhi?"
"If you have no acting experience, you may not be able to play Lin Pingzhi. This role is not something that can be mastered by being good at martial arts. It is more about the contrast after the psychological process. It requires very high literary and opera skills."
Huang Jianzhong explained patiently.
Ding Xiu didn't appreciate it at all: "How will you know if it doesn't work if you don't try?"
If it weren't for the Linghu Chong sign hanging at the door, he would have auditioned for the male lead today, but now he has settled for the next best thing.
It seemed that this was the first time he encountered such a stupid young man. Huang Jianzhong frowned. Yuan Bing said calmly: "Give him a chance and give it a try."
He said and handed over a page of the script.
"I'll give you five minutes to get familiar with it, and I'll play a role for you later."
Li Jie, who came in last, had also experienced this level, and the performance of Wen Xi satisfied both of them.
Huang Jianzhong's evaluation is that there is a hint of sinisterness in his kind eyes, which is very consistent with his later darkening image.
"Wait a minute." Huang Jianzhong handed another page of the script to Ding Xiu: "If you want to try it, try this one."
There are two main images of Lin Pingzhi. In the early stage, he was an elegant young man and a chivalrous young man. In the later stage, after learning the truth, he was blinded by hatred, vicious and cruel.
Yuan Bing gave a one-page script for the early stage, and he gave it for the later stage. They had to perform two completely different styles.
After taking back the script, Yuan Bing was a little more worried and said helplessly: "That's okay."
The difficulty of the script that Ding Xiu got was higher than that of the page that Li Jie got. The handsome young man and the dashing rich boy were easier to play, but the villain was not so easy. If the script was not strong enough, he would look like a clown, but if it was too strong, he would look like a madman.
Taking over the A4 paper, this is the first time Ding Xiu has received a script. The lines are in the first person, followed by parentheses, which describe the character's emotions. There are very few words, and some are just one word, such as angry, ridiculing. , it’s relatively one-sided, and more needs to be explored by the actors themselves.
Five minutes passed quickly, Yuan Bing said: "Are you ready?"
"Okay." Ding Xiu nodded.
In this scene, Lin Pingzhi, who had practiced the sword technique to ward off evil spirits, threatened Lauderno to take him up the mountain to seek revenge. In front of many people, he revealed the essence of the sword technique to ward off evil spirits and slapped Yue Buqun in the face on the spot.
"let's start."
Taking a deep breath, Ding Xiu lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, raised his head slightly, closed his eyes slightly, and said in the direction of Huang Jianzhong:
"Laudenuo, I won't treat you badly if you take me to Mount Huashan. Don't you want to know the evil sword manual? I'm telling you, it doesn't matter if you all hear it."
"Lin Pingzhi, what do you want to do?" Yue Buqun, who made a guest appearance as Yuan Bing, spoke up.
"Aren't you going to compete with Ren Woxing? If all the people under you learn the evil sword manual, then who else in the world will be your opponent?"
Ding Xiu laughed softly and continued: "Okay, let me tell you, the first sentence is that if you want to practice this skill, you must first retreat from the palace, hahaha... Yue Buqun, you, the master of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, Is the leader ready to go to the palace? Do you dare to take off your pants and show it to everyone?"
A sentence mocking Yue Buqun fell into Ding Xiu's mouth, which made people feel mixed emotions. There was ridicule, self-deprecation, and a bit of desolation in his voice, which could not help but add a bit of sympathy.
Huang Jianzhong admitted that this part was better than the last Li Jie who auditioned. There was a hint of sinisterness in Li Jie's eyes. This one had a sinister look on his face. He still spoke with a pinched throat. He was in prison and his whole body was shaking. numb.
But who knows if Ding Xiu is capable of extraordinary performance, just for this period of time.
"Ahem, what do you understand about Lin Pingzhi?"
Have you passed the first level? Ding Xiu understood.
The script didn't say that Lin Pingzhi was a eunuch. Fortunately, he had read it yesterday and knew that he had practiced the sword technique to ward off evil spirits, and he had just learned the tone of a eunuch.
He didn't know how others imitated eunuchs, but he had actually seen eunuchs and had personally dealt with them. These people were physically handicapped, but their personalities were intact, and they were the same as normal people.
Some are more masculine than men, such as Zhao Jingzhong, with a spear in his hand, even Shen Lian was stabbed in the hole.
If Zhao Jingzhong hadn't nailed Shen Lian to a tree and talked a lot of nonsense, Shen Lian would have died, and he would have had to clean up the mess in the end.
Back to the topic, Ding Xiu didn't think much and said: "He is a normal person, a rich man, a young chivalrous man. He should have lived a life of rich clothes and fine food. His drunkenness while pregnant with a jade brought disaster to the whole family, and so did the famous teachers he met. No ulterior motives.”
"After learning the truth, there was only one way in front of him, which was to practice the sword technique to ward off evil. As long as there was an upright person from a well-known family and a famous martial artist who upheld justice for him, he would not be guilty of this... He just wanted revenge. It was not him who was wrong, but The way of the world,"
"Put yourself in your shoes. The village bully beat your parents to death for taking over your family's farmland. The government didn't care. The village elder just condemned you. The director took you as his son-in-law because of the farmland. If you have a way to kill your enemy, , maybe you will be the next Lin Ping..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Huang Jianzhong interrupted Ding Xiu's tirade with a dark face. Today's young people talk endlessly about Jian Zheng and Huang: "Go out first and wait for notification."
