Chapter Eleven Little Monk?
At 6:30 in the morning, Boss Long's biological clock woke him up from sleep.
After washing up, I wanted to run a few laps around the villa to exercise as usual, but unexpectedly I found Fang Shun who had gotten up earlier.
Fang Shun was singing his voice away from the villa, practicing his lines with his mouth, while his body was practicing Tai Chi exercises taught by experienced Taoists.
Finally standing still, Fang Shun slowly closed his hands and let out a deep breath.
"Nephew, why did the Tai Chi you just did feel a little weird?" Boss Long walked over after he finished his exercise.
"Eh? Good morning, third uncle! I learned it from a master near my home."
"I see, then why don't you show off with your third uncle?" Boss Long made a special move, inadvertently bringing his memory closer to Fang Shun's heart.
"Master said that kung fu is for strengthening the body, not for fighting." But Fang Shun still refused.
Boss Long could only touch his big nose in embarrassment. The key point was that the master was right and he couldn't refute it.
The family had breakfast, and Fang Shide's dark face felt a little more relieved.
Seeing that the meal was almost done, Lin Feng touched Boss Long's feet under the table. Only then did Boss Long react and said, "By the way, nephew, do you have any arrangements later? Third uncle will take you to visit the largest building in Hong Kong."
How about the film and television base?"
The old man's arm holding Fang Mingzhu stiffened slightly. Before he could say anything, Fang Mingzhu's pink little hand grabbed his thumb.
Phew...forget it, the child is no longer in control.
Brother Fang Shide was also startled. Unexpectedly, the other party had already taken the initiative to speak before he mentioned it.
Fang Shisheng blinked at Fang Shun desperately, fearing that he would reject this opportunity.
Fang Shun wanted to tease his second uncle, but in the end he didn't do it. What if Boss Long took it seriously?
"Well, I'm sorry to bother Third Uncle, I really want to visit."
This is not Fang Shun's nonsense. In the 1990s, Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television could be said to have reached their peak in Asia, and were known as the Four Asian Tigers.
During this period, actors from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan will emerge one after another, including the four kings, the kings and queens of ratings, etc.
Of course, the three most outstanding people of this period are also indispensable, the Double Monday Dragons.
It is said to be a film and television base, but in fact it is not very big. It is just a few larger empty houses with a few clothing and props shops nearby. This may be related to the land area.
However, such a simple device has allowed TVB to spread to half of Asia.
Boss Long drove Fang Shun here, and a man came up to him and shook hands with Boss Long.
"Long time no see, Boss Long"
"Hahaha, Director Li is so handsome. I heard that Director Li is currently co-producing a drama with a Singaporean company."
"Hahaha, how can I catch up with you, Boss Long?"
"I won't mess with you anymore. This is my nephew Fang Shun. I want you to play a guest role in the play." Boss Long pushed Fang Shun in front of him and said.
Director Li, a fairly well-known director in Hong Kong and Macao, will serve as the director of "The Little Monk" this time.
Director Li had sharp eyes, and he recognized Fang Shun's very good temperament just by looking at it, so he smiled and said, "I happen to have a few children's roles and I haven't found anyone yet, so I'll let my eldest nephew try them out."
Director Li arranged for his assistant to take Fang Shun to put on makeup, while he chatted with Boss Long.
"Old Long, are the news in the newspaper true?"
Boss Long gave a wry smile. He didn't expect that he only recognized his relatives yesterday, and today the whole of Hong Kong knows about it.
These entertainment reporters are really talented.
But Boss Long never thought of covering it up.
"Yes, I brought my eldest nephew here, but don't think that I am using the back door. My eldest nephew is really capable."
"Oh? Then I'll have to take a closer look later."
………
Fang Shun started doing simple makeup under the guidance of his assistant. He actually hated putting powder on his face, but fortunately his skin was fair enough.
There was one point where the hair he had grown for a long time was shaved off again.
It used to be a Qing Dynasty drama, but now the good guy is a monk. Fang Shun always feels that this is God hinting at his future.
The assistant who came from the side nodded with satisfaction. If nothing else, his appearance alone would leave a good impression on the audience. This was a big surprise for the child actor.
He rummaged through his bag and found a few scripts.
The assistant pondered slightly, then handed Fang Shun a sixty-seventy-page script, and told Fang Shun, "This is a lot of scripts. You should memorize them first. If it doesn't work, I'll change them for you."
Fang Shun felt warm in his heart, not only with gratitude to his assistant, but also with respect and affection for Boss Long.
He knew that this was a favor from Boss Long. Otherwise, for a child with no power, why would they give you a script with many lines?
Even though this is just a little monk role, there is competition from many film and television companies.
Fang Shun solemnly took the script and let the makeup and costume girl play with his body. He focused all his attention on the script in front of him.
He must win this role so as not to embarrass Boss Long. At the same time, this is also a way to bring glory to the Fang Shide brothers.
Ten minutes later, the assistant took him to the set.
The crew of Real Name Little Monk had just been formed, and the actors had only verbally agreed, and everything was ready to go. Suddenly, a beautiful little boy with makeup appeared, and the crew's eyes were focused on him in an instant.
Li Daoze and Boss Long arrived late.
Director Li frowned slightly when he saw this scene. With so many people watching, he didn't know if Boss Long's nephew would be nervous or timid.
In his opinion, even if Fang Shun's acting skills are not good, he will still give him a role for the sake of Boss Long, it's just a matter of the size of the role.
However, when Fang Shun appeared, Director Li was immediately shocked.
With the script in his hand tapping away in the palm of his other hand, he admitted that he had made a mistake. Fang Shun's appearance was exactly what he thought the protagonist should look like.
A child from an emperor's family will naturally have no flaws in appearance.
Therefore, when he chooses a role, the first condition is that the appearance meets the standard, otherwise no matter how good his acting skills are and how many fans he has, he will not choose the role.
Boss Long was also surprised by Fang Shun. Fortunately, he was used to it yesterday.
Boss Long found that Director Li next to him was so excited that he was overflowing with joy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
This is different from his own achievements in acting. This kind of child that others talk about is his nephew. It feels so good!
Boss Long suppressed his laughter and said, "Director Li, do you still want to audition?"
Only then did Director Li come back to his senses, rolled his eyes at him, and said to his assistant, "You and he will act as eunuchs who come to Wulongyuan to deliver the decree and recall Emperor XI to succeed him."
The assistant nodded and looked at Fang Shun.
"are you ready?"
“That’s it”
The assistant cleared his throat and said in a high-pitched voice, "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says: The eleventh son of the emperor..."
Anyone else would faint with surprise upon hearing this news.
The little monk played by Fang Shun has a confused look on his face. He has grown up in Wulongyuan since he was a child. His master teaches him how to chant sutras and worship Buddha every day, how to sweep the floor to avoid killing ants, and how to cherish moths and gauze lamps. How does he know how to govern a country?
?
But Fang Shun deliberately showed a hint of surprise. He felt that although the little monk in the play had accepted his fatherless and motherless nature, when he now learned that he was not an orphan, he would still feel a little disturbed in his heart.
And this is a description that was never found in the script.
It was this move that convinced Director Li to become the protagonist of this drama.
He felt that Fang Shun was more of an actor than a child.
An actor should know when to show what expression. These are the actor's talents and experience, which the director and the script cannot give.
For example, Zhou Xingxing's King of Comedy uses the state of acting as a tragedy to perform the core content of comedy. This is probably something that the screenwriter has never thought of.
But he succeeded.
After the scene, Director Li clapped his hands several times and said with a smile, "Sister Long, your nephew surprised me. You are so relaxed and relaxed. You have the shadow of systematic study, and some of your behaviors are like
A wild road that slowly climbs up from the trap.”
Boss Long laughed loudly, "Come here, Little House, and tell Uncle Li your experience."
As expected, they are really good people, and the relationship between them was drawn into each other with just one sentence.
Fang Shun said he learned.
"Uncle Li, I once participated in "Emperor Kangxi" directed by Lin Hong. I played the role of the young emperor Kangxi in it. I learned a lot from Teacher Wang and Teacher Tan at that time."
Director Li was even more satisfied. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and had the demeanor of a stranger like a jade, a gentleman like no other in the world.
