Chapter 96 Jiang Nian's Performance
Chapter 96 Jiang Nian's Performance
I can only say that it is too charming, that's it.
No matter where you go, you will become the focus of the crowd and attract people's attention.
Fortunately, those reporters still had some sense.
We know that they were attending the opening ceremony and press conference of "Swordsman" and not Jiang Nian's personal show.
So after taking more than a hundred photos of Jiang Nian, they stopped and turned their attention to other people.
but.
I don’t know if it was an illusion or because Jiang Nian made too much noise just now.
Wait until this group of reporters put their cameras on them.
Huo Jianhua and others always felt uneasy.
It's just like.
They are picking up the leftovers from the ginger year!
"This is definitely the weirdest event I've ever attended, bar none!"
Huo Jianhua couldn't help but lower his voice and complain to Han Dong next to him.
Hearing this, Han Dong nodded, indicating that he understood Huo Jianhua's feelings at the moment.
Because he also felt that this taste was really fucking weird!
But they still have to pretend nothing happened and continue to answer reporters' questions.
Very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long.
Huo Jianhua and others briefly answered a few questions raised by reporters.
Jin Yong, the original author of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", then walked onto the stage.
When he saw Jiang Nian, he was slightly stunned, and then after recognizing that he was playing Lin Ping, his expression suddenly became strange.
But in front of the reporters, he didn't say anything. He and Jiang Nian and others took scissors and cut the red strip in front of them, and personally removed the red cloth covering the camera.
At this point, the opening ceremony of "Swordsman" has come to an end!
Everyone walked off the stage.
When passing by Jiang Nian, Jin Yong paused, then raised his head, looked at the nearly two-meter tall man in front of him, sighed, shook his head, and walked away quickly.
Seeing this, Jiang Nian frowned slightly.
I wondered what Lao Deng meant, looked at him, and then sighed.
Does this attitude show that he is very dissatisfied with Jiang Nian?
"Have I ever offended him?"
Jiang Nian muttered.
But this kind of thing is a private matter after all, and Jin Yong is also the special screenwriter of this drama, so Jiang Nian is not in a position to ask anyone.
He just kept this matter to himself, then walked off the stage and prepared to go find director Huang Junwen to ask about the next arrangements.
If he doesn't have a role today, he will take off the costume.
But when he passed by Director Hu Yijuan's door, his ears moved and the subtle quarreling sound came into his ears:
"Director, you are just kidding. I know that Jiang Nian is very popular now, but you can't invite him to play Lin Pingzhi, right?"
"Look at his height and build, how can he look like Lin Pingzhi at all?!"
Sitting in the director's room, Jin Yong spoke angrily in Cantonese.
Between the lines, there is a strong dissatisfaction with Jiang Nian.
That's true. After all, "Swordsman" is his work, and Lin Pingzhi is one of the most outstanding characters he portrayed in "Swordsman".
Otherwise, he would not have been described so emphatically at the beginning of the novel, so that people who read the novel at that time thought that Lin Pingzhi was the protagonist.
Such an important role was transformed from a handsome young man into a 1.9-meter-tall, muscular man. Although his face is still handsome, his body is too stiff.
Who can accept this?
Director Hu Yijuan laughed awkwardly. She took out a cigarette and handed it over: "Teacher Jin Yong, calm down. This is a special supply of cigarettes that I got through my connections recently. Please try it."
"What should I taste? My character has been changed. How can I have the mood to do this?!" Jin Yong was very angry at the moment and could not hear anything.
In response, Hu Yijuan just smiled and said, "Teacher Jin Yong, we understand your feelings, but it was not my idea to invite Jiang Nian to participate. It was the idea of the investors and director Huang Junwen. After discussing it, they specifically wanted him. What do you think we can do about it?"
She expressed her difficulties.
I couldn't help feeling sour.
Don’t underestimate Hu Yijuan, she is nominally a director.
But in fact, in this film "Swordsman", her situation is similar to that of the assistant director.
The reason for this is that there are two directors for this film "Swordsman"!
And the other director is Huang Junwen, who also co-directed "No Regrets in This Life", "Heaven and Earth Heroes", "The Twins", and "The Chinese Paladin III"!
This makes Hu Yijuan's position in "Swordsman" very embarrassing.
He has a real job, but not much real power.
Although she would be called over for big events like casting.
But most of the discussions were between the investors and Huang Junwen.
Her biggest role is to stand up and take responsibility when something goes wrong.
It can be said to be quite fucked up!
Fortunately, Jin Yong also understood his difficulties, and this time he came here just to complain.
Seeing Hu Yijuan's sincere attitude, he said, "Forget it, I won't embarrass you, but don't be so reckless next time. How can you not agree with this image?"
"Yes, yes, I understand. I will definitely tell the investors and Director Huang. Don't worry."
Hu Yijuan responded quickly.
Now she just wants to get rid of Jin Yong, this big Buddha, as soon as possible.
Hearing this, Jin Yong nodded, then picked up the special cigarette that Hu Yijuan gave him and walked outside.
As soon as he went out, not long after he walked, he saw Jiang Nian head-on.
I don’t know if it’s because I just said bad things about him behind his back.
Jin Yong's eyes were a little vague. He didn't dare to look him in the eye and just passed by him.
Looking at his back, a strange look flashed in Jiang Nian's eyes.
"This old man has a lot of complaints about me!"
"Brother Jiang, what are you doing here?"
Just as Jiang Nian was looking at Jin Yong's departing back thoughtfully, Zhang Linyu came over and asked curiously.
Hearing this, Jiang Nian shook his head: "Nothing, I'm just going to ask the director about the play. Do you have something to ask me?"
"Well, that's great. I also want to tell you about this. The director just said in the group chat, asking who is willing to shoot the first scene, but Mr. Huo and the others didn't say anything. I wanted to come over and ask for your opinion. Should we keep silent, or..."
Zhang Linyu asked.
This was the first scene after the filming of "Swordsman" started, so it had certain promise, but at the same time, it was also quite difficult.
After all, everyone just joined the crew yesterday and may not be in the best condition.
Although Huang Junwen is not as demanding as Xu Ke about the first scene.
But if you volunteer and end up performing poorly, the pressure will definitely be great.
This is also the reason why Huo Jianhua and others have remained silent.
Jiang Nian naturally understood this.
but
"Tell the director, if they don't want to shoot, I will!"
Jiang Nian said.
There's nothing I can do, he's cheating.
This must be put up and shown off well.
What's more, Jin Yong had just said bad things about him behind his back and questioned his acting skills.
Jiang Nian is not a very open-minded person, so if you dare to question him, he will slap you in the face.
Moreover, he started acting early and acted more often, so he had more free time, which he could use to practice martial arts and improve his proficiency.
The faster his proficiency improves, the sooner he can eradicate the negative impact of the "Bixie Sword Technique".
You can achieve multiple things with one stone, why not?
Hearing this, Zhang Linyu didn't say much, just nodded, took out his mobile phone and started talking in the group chat.
Huang Junwen was delighted when he learned that Jiang Nian had volunteered to act in the film. As a director, he had naturally heard about Jiang Nian's performance on the set and was already extremely curious.
So we made the decision to shoot Lin Pingzhi’s first scene next!
Then I started to prepare the props and the scene.
In contrast, there are actors like Huo Jianhua.
When they learned that Jiang Nian was going to film a movie, they were all surprised.
It’s not that I don’t trust Jiang Nian.
But
"I remember that Mr. Jiang has played eunuchs since his debut, right? At this time, Lin Pingzhi has not been circumcised yet. Can Mr. Jiang play the role well?"
Someone asked.
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted waves of approval.
"I have to state in advance that I am not questioning Teacher Jiang. It's just that Teacher Jiang is a little too immersed in his work. He even refers to himself as 'Eunuch' when he talks on weekdays. Now, suddenly asking Teacher Jiang to play a role that has not yet become a eunuch, this..."
"To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about it because before practicing the Sword of Exorcism, the character of Lin Pingzhi was a very sunny and cheerful boy. This style alone is seriously inconsistent with the roles played by Teacher Jiang before."
"really."
"Alright, alright, what are you talking about? Since Teacher Jiang dared to take on this, he must have the confidence. Stop gossiping here. Otherwise, if Teacher Jiang finds out, I wonder how you will face Teacher Jiang!"
"Hey, it's just a comment, it's nothing serious."
"."
People were talking in low voices, and their words and actions showed their distrust of Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian was unaware of this.
He just wore the costume he was wearing and came to the set leisurely.
The design of the set is very simple, even crude.
There was only one room, and in it there was only a coffin and two small, crudely made stone lions.
This is Lin Pingzhi's first scene.
In the original work.
Lin Pingzhi first appeared in a wine shop, where he stepped out as an "ugly girl who couldn't do martial arts" in disguise of Yue Lingshan, the daughter of the leader of the Huashan Sect.
In the process, he accidentally killed Yu Renyan, the son of Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, which directly led to the tragedy of the Lin family being wiped out.
But in this TV series, Lin Pingzhi first appears on the way back to the Lin family. Thinking of his family's heirloom coffin, he becomes curious and wants to open it to pry into the secrets inside, which leads to the emergence of his character.
Although Jiang Nian was a little confused as to why the Lin family's secret room was on a ship, it was not a big deal.
This is how the script is designed, so just act it out.
"Teacher Jiang, are you ready?"
After the photographer set up the camera in the house, director Huang Junwen asked.
Jiang Nian didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and moved his mind.
Suddenly, Lin Pingzhi's memories emerged in his mind.
When I opened my eyes again, the scene before my eyes was completely different.
The simple room became luxurious.
The flat ground seems to be on water, and you can clearly feel the river water surging up and down under your feet.
While Lin Pingzhi's memories had not yet fully come back, Jiang Nian made an OK gesture to director Huang Junwen.
The other party immediately understood and shouted "Action!"
The photographer in the room quickly pointed the camera at the door.
Jiang Nian took a deep breath, and in an instant, his entire aura changed drastically.
Before, his aura was gloomy with a hint of cynicism.
But now, his aura is particularly sunny.
Just like a college student who has not yet entered society, his eyes reveal a light that has not been tainted by knowledge and work, clear and stupid.
"Squeak-"
With a slight sound, the door was pushed open.
Wearing loose red skirt and pants and black cloth shoes, Lin Pingzhi tiptoed in. Seeing that there was no one around, he hurriedly closed the door.
Lin Pingzhi seemed very excited when he entered the secret room on the ship for the first time.
But because he had never done anything like this since he was a child, he felt very guilty and acted cautiously.
He looked around with great vigilance, and then walked quickly to the coffin.
Unlike Lin Pingzhi played by Chen Xiao in the original version, he had a stern face and looked extremely serious from the start.
Jiang Nian's performance at this moment was very vivid.
He looked at the coffin in front of him.
Curious, confused, and puzzled.
Through micro-expressions, Jiang Nian fully displayed Lin Pingzhi's mentality at the moment.
"What secrets are hidden here?"
"Why does Dad always keep it from me?"
"It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself."
"Open it and take a look. It shouldn't be anything wrong."
Lin Pingzhi muttered to himself, then blew away the dust accumulated on the coffin, and carefully pushed the coffin open.
“Squeak—”
The friction of the stones opened the coffin a crack, and the sunlight came in through the window and fell on the jeweled vase inside the coffin that was used as a burial object.
A blinding light flashed by.
Lin Pingzhi's eyes were dazzled and he squinted subconsciously.
But right now.
“Swish, swish, swish—”
Without any warning, several silver needles shot out.
Lin Pingzhi was so frightened by this situation that he quickly retreated and used all his strength to dodge it.
But this is the Lin family's forbidden area, how could it be so simple?
A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.
Lin Pingzhi had just dodged the silver needle, and the next second, his foot accidentally stepped on the trap in the room.
"Teng Leng!"
The Tai Chi Bagua in the center of the room turned into a secret door and opened with a bang.
Lin Pingzhi was caught off guard and fell directly into it. Although he was quick-witted, he managed to hold his body together and did not continue to fall.
But the mechanism under the secret door began to activate.
Four rows of wolf-tooth steel coils were spinning like a crusher, ruthlessly crushing towards Lin Pingzhi.
Lin Pingzhi was frightened and panicked.
"mom!"
"mom!!"
"mom!!!"
Seeing the eunuch Jiang Nian, he was so scared by a trap that he kept calling for his mother.
Everyone present was amused by this funny scene.
However, they had not yet realized that they had been emotionally moved by Jiang Nian and immersed in the play.
