Chapter 87 Charity
The vacation is over quickly, and the life of a star is like this. The work intensity is as high as superheroes who need to save the world and act as good neighbors in various countries. The only thing is that they at least need sponsorship and compensation. rest time.
The rest of the time is not much different from superheroes, except that the former saves the precarious lives of the world, while the stars save people's empty spirits.
The only vacation is not much free, Gu Yunkai has been busy for a few days, in addition to arranging Xiang Xuan's meeting, he also has to reread the novel and the script to familiarize himself with the characters, and then return to Wen's special training, the three days are almost full. , but there is no free time to go, wait until everything is ready, set off on the last day of the rest day, and go directly to the crew for reshoots.
"Alliance of Agents" is a fast-paced commercial entertainment film with a fan base. The plot of the first filming is a combination of the plots of the two books "Golden City" and "Reloaded Army", which are also in these two books The small team of the alliance just started to get familiar with it. At the beginning, characters came out one by one. In just 120 minutes, apart from book fans, ordinary audiences need a certain amount of time to get familiar with and accept the whole team. It must have its own characteristics, and it must have its own personal style, so it is very appropriate to choose these two books as the plot of the first movie.
However, Gu Yunkai naturally doesn't need to consider the audience's feelings after the film is released for the director and screenwriter teacher. His job only requires him to play his role as the god of death well.
Because it was a temporary reshoot, there were not many leading actors in the crew, but all the behind-the-scenes personnel were complete, so it didn't seem very deserted.After all, it was the first day of filming, and the two leading actors in the crew who were going to be filming scenes with Reaper were present, but they were only on this day. After all, everyone had already taken on a new job, so it was impossible to waste too much time on reshoots .
Fortunately, Reaper didn't appear much, there was only one scene in total, and Stephen planned to settle the reshoots in about half a week, lest the kind producer completely turn into a powder keg and cause a big explosion.
Gu Yunkai first greeted the two leading actors. The two leading actors have very good personalities, and they were not dissatisfied when they took off their schedule to shoot.
Stephen never cared about nationality when he used actors, not to mention that the original "Agents" is not limited to nationality, so two of the four protagonist groups are actors of federal nationality, playing the hanged man and the magician respectively.To be honest, this is the first time that Gu Yunkai has collaborated with actors of foreign nationality. However, since the empire itself has many races, unlike in modern times, the appearances of the East and the West are very different, so Gu Yunkai It's rare to open it, and I don't care too much.
The combination of multiple men and one woman is extremely popular in any work, and "Union of Agents" is no exception. The only woman in this perfect four-person team is the Hanged Man who goes out to work. The four authors of the original work are not Knowing what kind of mentality it is, it is quite malicious to let the Hanged Man, who can be called a humanoid self-propelled cannonball, be played by a woman, but the priestess is always a man. In the chapter "Middle Finger Ring", he died in the line of duty.The second term is also male
But when you think about it, it's actually quite normal. Beautiful women who love danger and fighting can always stimulate the audience's hormones. They have neat and extraordinary skills, a tough and cold attitude, plus a good face and a hot and plump figure. Classic The Queen-type character configuration is undoubtedly a huge spiritual impact on men. Even female audiences love this kind of sexy female character who symbolizes mystery and power more than the delicate and beautiful lady in a vase.
Humans yearn for the strong by nature. Wisdom is one kind of sexiness, while violence is another kind of sexiness.
At least Gu Jianyue really likes it. She thinks the coolest thing in "League of Secret Agents" is the Hanged Man, even the nickname sounds mysterious; It is obvious in her heart that she will move one position back.
After all, my brother is the biggest, there is nothing to say about this.
Gu Yunkai thinks that the brainless fans are irresistible to any behavior of the idol, even if the other party wears ugly clothes and has some weird nickname, the fans can find out the beauty part from it, unless it is really Bad behavior involving the bottom line, otherwise it is almost not a black spot just to dress up.For example, it is difficult for him to understand what is so attractive about the appearance of Superman wearing underwear, but some of his subordinates can easily distinguish which sets of underwear are from different comics - Gu Yunkai is in this regard Humbled.
But it's also easy to understand. What's attractive is not any beautiful clothes and makeup, but the charm he shows himself. This is the real reason why many people like athletes and big cows in various fields.
Many people are not beautiful on the outside, but their souls are interesting enough.
The actor of The Hanged Man is called Kseniya, and has a very long surname, which reminds Gu Yunkai of a certain fighting nation in his previous life.Although she is petite, her proportions are almost perfect, and she is dressed more openly. She wears a black sports vest and hot pants, revealing her flat and firm abdominal muscles and slender and charming legs, boldly showing off her good figure.Her complexion is relatively dark, but it is not a shortcoming. She has a pair of bright eyes, which are sharp and cold when staring at people closely.
However, Ksenia's personality is completely different from her beautiful and wild appearance. She is very outgoing and cheerful. Her mouth is large and her lips are relatively thick, which makes her laugh with a rather exaggerated caricature effect, as if Joy can immediately overflow from every part of the facial features, she clearly looks like a naive little girl when she laughs, but when she shuts her mouth and doesn't speak, she looks extremely rebellious and wild.
Among the actresses that Gu Yunkai knew, Ksenia belonged to that kind of special actress whose appearance is rare and has a very distinctive appearance. Her temperament is easy to remind people of primitive nature and wildness, with a passionate and unrestrained beauty. And she is quite confident, with a kind of publicity that is so proud that you can't look at it. Most actresses will be more restrained and gentle.
Just looking at the appearance, Kseniya fits the hanged person very well, of course, the premise is that she doesn't laugh, she becomes very cute and cute when she smiles.
And playing the role of playboy and male-female devil is the veteran male god Lewis. Lewis is a well-known steel straight man in the circle. He debuted at the age of 17 and just spent the [-]th anniversary of his debut with fans. Day, is also known in the circle as suave, handsome and unrestrained. In reality, he is also a playboy like the devil. He has been married four times and recently divorced peacefully. He has beautiful red hair and green eyes. According to fans The saying is that he is insanely handsome. Although he is close to the fifty mark, he still looks as wild and charming as if he was in his early thirties.
He himself is also a very interesting and controversial actor, because of his outstanding looks, he became famous very quickly. He is often criticized as a vase actor, but he doesn't care about it. In fact, he has acted in many good works. A talented actor who deserves to be dragged down.
Gu Yunkai knew him because Lewis once acted with Sharp in "Low-End Society". The two of them can be said to be both tough and soft. Although there is no heroine in the whole film, the screen is full of bursting hormones. , the two of them had a great chemical reaction—of course not the ambiguous part. The two played a pair of old enemies in the film. If Sharp's appearance is delicate and feminine, then Lewis is masculine and uninhibited.
Standing together, Lewis and Ksenia felt like Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Both of them had a dangerous and wild temperament, like a lion standing with a leopard.
Although Gu Yunkai hasn't met other actors, but from the two leading actors and the not easy to mess with director Stephen, he has already felt that he can be regarded as an arctic fox at most in this crew.
Both Lewis and Ksenia are cheerful and generous, more outgoing and kind, especially Ksenia, she is very friendly to Gu Yunkai, and the reason is very simple, because she thinks Gu Yunkai looks good It looks good and suits her taste, and she is bigger than Gu Yunkai, so she should take care of Gu Yunkai.
Lewis, on the other hand, has a gentle and kind attitude towards beautiful women, but men are not so lucky, and Gu Yunkai is certainly not one of the lucky ones. The conversation between the two of them is as normal as ordinary men's communication.Although Lewis has a very different attitude towards men and women, he is not as self-willed as Alder, and he is also very kind and polite to low-level personnel.
Modern makeup doesn't take that much time. Gu Yunkai first greeted the two leading actors when he entered the film crew, and then tried a few different looks with the makeup artist. The third dark suit jacket passed the test with Stephen.Reaper is only one scene in total, probably the plot is that the hanged man and the devil are surrounded by the villain's younger brothers in the bar, and the police outside are getting a report and heading to the bar. For dumplings, there are wolves in front and tigers in back.
Commercial entertainment movies are always full of this kind of plot that turns defeat into victory and surprises at the last moment. After all, the most important thing in this kind of movie is to be cool, funny, and explosive. The three elements of this episode are almost all gathered in this kind of occasion. The audience likes to watch the routines of slapping faces and counterattacks.
This scene was filmed in a studio, and there is no need to go out on location, and the studio has long been set up as an elegant and intimate classical bar, with wall cabinets full of juices and wine bottles, The light design is very good, whether it is the blurred images of glasses and discs on the counter, or the wooden bar counter that has been very shiny for years, the booths are lined up to form a small private space, like a chandelier full of stars hanging down. It looks both moody and atmospheric.
It is a private space suitable for lovers, order a few glasses of wine, play some old songs, and spend a wonderful night relaxedly and comfortably. It is such a quiet and romantic place, but there is a bloody incident that is about to be staged.
Stephen is a master of violent aesthetics. He is good at black humor and has his own style. His fighting scenes are often a visual enjoyment for the audience, which is quite enjoyable.
So this puts a lot of emphasis on the style of camera and action design.
The action director was also on standby at the scene. The three rehearsed several times with the extras and coordinated with the cameraman before deciding to start shooting.
The two leading actors have filmed it before, and the action scenes here are actually not important. Today, I only plan to shoot a few shots of the meeting of the three of them, and those episodes that appear together. Other fight scenes can be filmed separately. After all, Gu Yunkai is the first He joined the crew one day and had no special training before, so he needs to be given time to get familiar with the movements.
In this plot, the two protagonists on the field did not carry any guns or weapons, and both the Hanged Man and the Devil entered the bar unarmed-because all the weapons had been consumed before.Even the God of Reaper who came to the rescue didn't bring any self-defense guys—maybe they brought them and didn't plan to use them, or they felt that there was no need to take them out to deal with these people.
The villain, on the other hand, looks like he just robbed an arsenal. In such a highly contrasting situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, the trio of special agents is required to turn defeat into victory. with shield.
In the design of this scene, items such as plates, wine bottles, chandeliers and even high chairs in the entire studio are available, the bar counter becomes a defensive trench, and there are even darts hanging on the wall that can be used as hidden weapons. .
In fact, it doesn’t matter if there is no God of Reaper in this plot, the two of them can still rush out, after all, there is the halo of the protagonist, but God of Death can bring all this a more dramatic effect.
In fact, this episode was supposed to be a long shot, but due to individual reasons that everyone knows well, it has now become a combination of several short shots.
After the shooting started, Gu Yunkai, who played the god of death, sat quietly in the corner of the booth and played with the wine glass. He even took out a coin from his jacket pocket and kept spinning it on the table. The script said that the coin stopped A moment is the time when he decides to start the mission.
And the eyes of all the people in the bar fell on him, the god of death sat in the shadows, wearing an old suit jacket, with his head down, looking like a destitute homeless man or some unsatisfactory office worker, Touching the last penny on his body just to run to the bar to get drunk.
The extra actor smashed his beer mug with the butt of his gun, and even pushed aside the coin, pointed the muzzle of the gun at the waist and abdomen of the "tramp", with a strong accent, grinned and said: "Get away!" Come on, stupid pig!"
Humiliation of an ordinary person is always a great pleasure. Everyone laughed and couldn't wait to watch the homeless man trembling with fright, and get out of this bar that was about to turn into a battlefield.Lazily raising his hands to signal his surrender, the devil winked his eyes at the hanged man, jokingly said: "Although I have always disagreed with the words that bald priestess whispered in our ears every day, But, on a humanitarian level, we do have to save the poor old guy, he's paralyzed with fright."
The hanged person calmly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and said calmly, "Then why don't you do it." She also turned her eyes to the silent outsider, and suddenly frowned, feeling that something was wrong .
It's not like a normal person who is normally scared.
"Well, maybe it's because we are in danger now, but since we can't say when we will die now, it doesn't hurt to find some grandiose and great reasons for ourselves to die. If we go to heaven, how much can I tell you? I'm a pretty girl with wings, and I'm a hero who sacrificed herself to save people." The demon showed a funny and sarcastic smile, shrugged, "So, are you ready?"
"Oh? Now it's time for me to keep up with your progress?"
The Hanged Man stared at the Grim Reaper, and sneered at the Devil.
As soon as the two spoke, the face of the god of death slowly struggled out of the darkness, the light fell on the dead and cold face, and the cold pupils swept across the two of them calmly.The devil couldn't help but let out a strange cry. He bumped into the hanged man and exaggerated: "God, is this serious? My eyes didn't deceive me, because we are going to hell, so put Tana in advance. Has Toss summoned us to collect the corpse? I thought I could go to heaven!"
"Shut up!" The Hanged Man stomped on the demon with his high heels without hesitation.
If the devil is the part of the people who hate the god of death so much that they stand in the organization voting and want to participate in the secret murder of the god of death, then the hanged people undoubtedly appreciate the cruel and neat killing methods of the god of death, which belongs to the other part that admires the god of death , seeing the god of death is much more enjoyable for her than teaming up with the devil.
The Grim Reaper is described in the novel as a very powerful and extremely flexible skilled person. He is good at fighting and is also very agile. No shackles can trap him. He is as slippery as a fish, and like a snake when entangled. , can instantly break the neck of any enemy, he is a weapon expert, like a sniper born with eagle eyes, but he loves cold weapons more, anything in his hands will become a lethal weapon.
"I spent the only 12 yuan I had."
The Grim Reaper sighed in a low voice, "Now I'm penniless."
He picked up the largest shard of glass, drank up the remaining liquid on it, and cut the throat of the man in front of him without hesitation. The man in front of him was about to speak, but he didn't expect the tramp in front of him to do it After such an astonishing move, blood gushed out of the throat in an instant, eyes widened, the gun had been snatched away by the hacker, a few bang bangs, several chandeliers were smashed, and everyone lost their light.
Gu Yunkai completed this movement so smoothly that he even heard a heavy thud when Stephen slapped the movement director's thigh.
Of course, it’s not really pitch black in the movie. The special decoration on the wall of the bar and a few faint lights make up the light that is rare in this dark and narrow space but enough to see the whole bar clearly, not to mention the lights outside the venue. .In the movie, the two sides took advantage of the darkness to fight. When the hanged man broke the neck of the human shield covering his chest, he "inadvertently" hit the devil's nose with an elbow, and the other party covered his nose and screamed. , wailing: "It's you!"
"Mistake!" The Hanged Man immediately denied, the fight between the two was mixed with the screams of the villains, a battle that was as gorgeous and crisp as a dance came to an abrupt end with the dance music - Stephen played a song outside the venue The passionate song makes them better blend into the atmosphere. In the movie, this song comes from an old tape recorder and tape. It was accidentally turned on during the fight, flying high in the air, and when it fell It's all over and it's broken too.
When the last person fell down, all the lights suddenly turned on, the sound of the police was getting closer and closer, and the siren sounded endlessly, the god of death parted his drinking table, two perfect semicircles were pushed away, and he Pointing to the bottom, pointing to the Hanged Man, the devil and himself, he said slowly, "Jump down."
Then jump up.
The Hanged Man trusted him quite a bit, and without hesitation, he took off his beautiful black high-heeled shoes and held them in his hands, tied up the beautiful dress that was torn to his waist, and jumped in.The devil walked quickly to the female villain who was paralyzed on the floor and turned into a bright red rose with a snow-white business card on it. He playfully winked and blew a kiss , hung the flowers on the other's heaving chest, and made a phone call gesture: "Contact me."
Before the police opened the door, the devil couldn't help muttering two bad words about the god of death, and finally chose to jump into the secret passage, and the table closed automatically, leaving only the screaming villain and the flower that was thrown out angrily. There was only a rose, and the business card fluttered on the floor, revealing the word "Ned". When he was about to reveal his number, he was immediately stepped down by the police.
This whole section is still mixed with some long shots during the battle. The main shots are a few clips of the three people meeting head-on, and there is also a "combination skill" of the three people, but the rest of the shots are all It's made up of short shots.
This is the end of the whole scene of the god of death. There are some fighting scenes that need to be filmed by Gu Yunkai, and the work between Lewis and Xenia is over.
The three of them were still talking and laughing after the show, and they were going to attend the charity gala at night, which made them even more lively. Afterwards, they each took off their makeup and changed their clothes, and it was almost time for the charity gala.
Because they had been prepared for a long time, when the three of them came out of the dressing room again, they looked radiant. On the contrary, Stephen only changed into a suit. Gu Yunkai probably performed well just now, and his late-mother face eased a little, but Still can't hide the tired and impatient look.
In the original plan, Gu Yunkai planned to go with the crew of "Light Like the Day", but "League of Secret Agents" is convenient here. The studio and the charity party are in the same city, so there is no need to fly back and forth.Gu Yunkai contacted Lan Se directly, apologized to the crew of "Light Like the Day", and explained his current situation, so that the crew didn't have to wait for him to gather and set off together.
Gu Yunkai was originally recommended by Lancer to Stephen, so he naturally agreed, and asked Gu Yunkai how it feels to be filming under Stephen's hand, and which director do you think is better than him?
Gu Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he said a few casual words to send Lancer away. Of course, he couldn't give a definite answer to this kind of words. Lancer and Stephen are good friends, so if he praises Lancer, he might laugh out loud one day It was poked out in front of Stephen as a joke, and it probably didn't matter to Lancer, but Stephen didn't know what he was thinking.
As for praising Stephen for being better in front of Lancer... that would be even more unwise, Lancer might be smiling and MMP in his heart.
So in the end Gu Yunkai said politely: Both directors have helped me a lot, and I am very grateful to Lan Se for providing this opportunity.
Lan Se laughed twice, and said to Gu Yunkai that he was "slick". Fortunately, he is not Sharp. If it were Sharpe, he would probably call Gu Yunkai a hypocrite.
This is the end of the conversation of the notification. This charity dinner is an activity specially launched for the research of "amyotrophic lateral sclerosis". Due to the upsurge of the ice bucket activity, not only celebrities participated this time, The party officially invited many celebrities from other fields. The lineup is quite strong. In addition to the indispensable official live broadcast on the whole network, there are also many reporters and newspaper editors, all of which are among the best in the industry.
It can be seen that the organizers attach great importance to this event.
If a star wants to maintain his status and improve his reputation and influence, there are a few things that are essential.The first is endorsement, and the second is charity. Endorsement symbolizes the value of a star. Of course, it is not some messy brand name, but the endorsement of top luxury brands. Female stars usually endorse gold, silver and jewelry, while male stars focus on cars.
The lucky ones like Sharp who endorsed luxury goods not long after their debut are the minority among the few.
In addition to wanting to endorse the fashion brand, Gu Yunkai has also coveted the endorsement of cars for a long time.
Generally speaking, there are some thresholds for endorsement, but there are many kinds of charity. Some people are enthusiastic about public welfare and charity for a simple purpose. In fact, like Chen Wang, he was confused by his sudden huge wealth. Chen Wang chose to travel , more celebrities choose charity, throwing their own money out, and at the same time gaining a good reputation from fans and the society, and some individuals also choose faith and various other methods.
Although some celebrities can't make ends meet, even if they don't donate money, they still have to forcefully squeeze into charity galas to show their faces, increase their fame, and appear on camera.
Female stars in the entertainment industry have always suffered more than male stars. After all, there is a big difference in terms of freshness. Although men will age, old men are also very popular in the industry. The so-called wine gets older as it ages.But female stars are getting old, unless they are the kind of unshakable acting school, or almost few of them will not be eliminated. Don’t you see, the masters in many TV dramas often change, but the old lady always goes back and forth. bit.
However, female celebrities sometimes have a lot of advantages in this kind of celebrity activities.Because the phenomenon of strong men and weak women exists everywhere, many well-known female stars will deliberately package themselves as feminist fighters, express their opinions on some hot social topics, speak out for women, and some will defend gay rights.
Like these two sensitive subjects, few male celebrities dare to touch them. It’s not that they don’t want to bite this pie. In fact, if they say that they are feminist fighters, they will be closely watched, and the media will do everything possible to dig out his opinion. Women are slightly contemptuous, and even when there are pictures of naked women on the wall when making movies, they will be charged with objectifying women; let alone homosexuality, male stars support this aspect is tantamount to coming out of the closet, as if they must To be a straight man firmly, despise homosexuality is a normal straight man.
If these places can do something practical, their fame and popularity will naturally catch up, but even if they want to make progress in this area, they must first have a reputation. Basically, God’s country has the ability to do this. Confident big flowers have often been famous for several years, and they want to climb to higher places and have enough time, contacts, and money; while small flowers are still honestly grabbing resources at this stage, if they want to contribute to the society or even To make a good impression on passers-by, the transition in the middle is this common charity gala.
Many of the guests at this charity gala are quite big names. In order to match their status, the entire venue and invitation conditions are extremely "high-end". The list of invited stars does not have the recent popular little fresh meat or little flower Gu Yunkai had seen today's list of characters on the official website of the party before. Except for him as a special case in the celebrity column, Li Loufeng, the only one who can be called a little fresh meat, is also a big brother that their economic company strongly recommends. It's been eight years since his debut, and recently he has a faint intention of competing with Han Zhiyang for the top spot in the TV industry.
Han Zhiyang doesn’t need to introduce, Li Loufeng really became popular three years ago with the TV series “Hot Blood Spring and Autumn”. Before that, he acted in a lot of lukewarm dramas. There are all his faces, almost all of them are the protagonists, and the second one is the male lead. Over the years, he has been rumored with many Xiaohua because of the on-screen couples. So far, fans and the media still don’t know which one is his real one. Destiny's Mrs.
If nothing else happened, Gu Yunkai and him should be the two youngest stars in this charity gala.
Counting the original time of Gu Yunkai's debut, in fact, Gu Yunkai's debut time is almost the same as Li Loufeng's, and the results that the two have achieved successively are not much different.Excellent TV dramas produced in this world are far more valuable and well-known than ordinary movies. Even if the same IP is shot into TV dramas and movies at the same time, it is not impossible for TV dramas to be better than movies in all aspects. Although the two people live in different circles now , but Li Loufeng is stable, and Gu Yunkai doesn't play the leading role much. His fans call him the supporting actor of Wannian.
But judging from the three years of struggle, the experience of the two people is very different. After all, Li Loufeng has the entire brokerage company as a back-up resource to support him, while Gu Yunkai has only Gu Jianyue, brother and sister by his side. Relying on each other, the two have come to today step by step, and there is also an "ex-boyfriend" who has been stigmatized——Tianyu company came to throw dirty water when his career was on the right track, but luckily saved the day.
Even if the beneficiary is Gu Yunkai himself, he has to feel that he is really lucky, but luck itself is a part of strength.
In a sense, this is enough to prove that he is indeed a very capable actor.
The official start time of the dinner party is at eight o'clock, but after all, this kind of party is not just a simple charity event, but also includes making connections and some "interactions" at work. Entering the arena, especially celebrities, can still find that the road is blocked by fans as usual.
Fortunately, barriers were set up in the underground garage. The driver turned the steering wheel and adjusted his direction to enter the underground garage. There is an elevator in the garage. When they get off the car, they can directly take the elevator upstairs, thus avoiding fans chasing them.
If this happened to a solo appointment, then Gu Yunkai would let the driver enter first, and get out of the car to sign and interact with the fans. After all, his impression of the fans as a group warmed up quite quickly after the ice bucket challenge. , but after all, this time he was following the crew of "Union of Secret Service", seeing that the two leading actors were indifferent, he was naturally embarrassed to make a special request to get off.
Gu Yunkai had already contacted Gu Jianyue earlier, and this time he came by the car of the crew of "Union of Secret Agents" is basically a free ride, there is no other meaning.According to his information, Gu Jianyue waited directly at the elevator on the third basement floor, and everyone got out of the car together. Lewis saw Gu Jianyue dressed up at a glance, but the brothers and sisters of the Gu family had the wrong attributes at the beginning, and the beauty was given to Gu Yunkai. Wisdom was given to Gu Jianyue, so in the eyes of Lewis, who had read all kinds of stories, Gu Jianyue was obviously unqualified.
Lewis shook his head subconsciously, and was about to tease Gu Yunkai when he saw Gu Jianyue take Gu Yunkai's hand naturally, subconsciously bit the tip of his tongue, and smiled without changing his expression: " Who is this?"
It's so risky, I almost slipped my mouth.
"My manager is also my sister, Gu Jianyue." Gu Yunkai smiled and introduced each other, "Jianyue, this is Lewis, and this is Ksenia. main character."
Gu Jianyue also reached out her hand and exchanged a few words with them generously.
