Zhang Jizhong personally came to the scene to supervise. With a black face, he sat there looking like a living black evil god.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and everyone was cautious.
"All departments are prepared."
"Ding Xiu, Miao Yi, are you ready?"
"The venue is cleared."
Today's show is similar to the day before yesterday, except that the day before yesterday, Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan practiced swordplay, and today, Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan practiced swordplay.
But Shao Bin's performance and Ding Xiu's performance are completely different.
For Ding Xiu, martial arts scenes are not difficult at all. No matter what Yuan Bing's requirements are, he can achieve any difficult moves.
An hour later, the ground scene was filmed, and the staff tied wires to Ding Xiu and Miao Yi.
"Ding Xiu, if the wire rope breaks in a while, you have to catch me." Miao Yi was a little scared and said in a low voice.
This was her first time filming a martial arts scene, and it was also her first time hanging with a wire. She had long heard that accidents often happen in martial arts scenes. The wire rope broke during the hanging, and the actors broke their limbs.
After checking the height, Ding Xiu said: "If I fall, I should be able to land safely. If you fall, I will definitely not be able to catch you. There is nothing I can do about this."
At this height, even if the rope broke, he was confident that he would be able to land safely with no minor injuries at most.
There was nothing he could do if Miao Yi fell off, because he was still tied up and couldn't get through.
People are in the air, and their actions are completely controlled by the staff's coercion. This is not something he can control.
After hearing the conversation between the two, the staff member smiled and said: "Don't worry, we are professionals, the rope is very strong and has been tested many times."
Yuen Bing is a martial arts director, and the martial arts team on the set are all brought by his team from Hong Kong Island.
There is a special characteristic of the martial arts there, and they are famous for their seriousness in filming.
You can't be serious. For a play like Diao Wei Ya, which project team is responsible for it? The leader of the project team has to try it out himself before the starring role comes on stage.
Including installing explosives, the demolition team is the first to go to the explosion point.
If you dare not work seriously, you will often be the first to get into trouble.
In front of the monitor, Zhang Jizhong's expression softened slightly and he said to Yuan Bing: "Ding Xiu is a good guy. Except for his bad temper, he is actually quite suitable for the role of Linghu Chong."
"Do you want to try him instead?" Yuan Bing tried to ask.
Zhang Jizhong slowly shook his head: "It's too late. If he plays the first male role, he will also have to find someone new for the second male role. We filmed a lot of scenes in ten days after starting the filming. If the first male and second male actors are replaced, all these days will be in vain."
The 40 million yuan that the crew has raised seems like a lot, but it cannot support the daily expenses. There are hundreds of staff members, and basic food and accommodation are a huge expense.
Every day when the machine is turned on, hundreds of thousands are gone.
The departure of the male lead cost the crew one million. Adding in the millions of expenses incurred during this period, more than two million have been spent so far.
If both male and female actors were to be replaced, it would cost another huge sum of money, and then they would have to reshoot the film, which would cost millions more.
He spent so much money on just such a few scenes, and he couldn't explain it to his superiors.
He didn't have high hopes in the first place, so Yuan Bing wasn't surprised when he heard this. He could only lament that Ding Xiu was unlucky.
If you want to be famous in the entertainment industry, you must not only have strength, but luck plays a big part.
Looking at the entertainment circles on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, some people are at their peak when they debut. With one face, they become popular with one song.
Some people have superb acting skills, are obsessed with filming, and have worked tirelessly for many years to remain unknown. Where can you go to reason with them?
…
Another week has passed, and the crew has been filming Ding Xiu's scenes every day, from morning to night.
The original one month's worth of scenes had been filmed, and Ding Xiu estimated that he would be able to finish filming in another week. Yuan Bing even teased him on set, saying that he enjoyed treatment that even the kings and superstars had not enjoyed.
But this treatment stopped abruptly on the eighth day.
A new male lead joins the group.
Popular niche student Li Yapeng.
In the past two years, he starred in the TV series "Love to the End" which became a hit across the country and became a popular idol among young people, rivaling Lu Yi and Zhou Jie.
The male lead is here, and Ding Xiu's "hard days" are over.
How hard it was last week, how easy it will be next.
The crew started shooting for more than half a month, and Li Yapeng had to make up for so many days of scenes from scratch. You can imagine how busy he was, shooting from morning to night, and from night to dawn.
How many years does a person age in a month?
Because he received the script temporarily and had no time to prepare, in order to get him into the mood, Huang Jianzhong confiscated his mobile phone, prohibited him from surfing the Internet, reading newspapers, and watching TV. He was not allowed to take off his makeup when he arrived at the set every day.
Li Yapeng was filming day and night. Whenever he had free time, Li Yapeng would sleep. Once when he passed by him, Ding Xiu heard that he was talking in his sleep, all of which were lines.
After putting in so much effort, it stands to reason that the results will be very good.
But the reality is not ideal.
If you receive a script at short notice, you don't have time to understand the characters, and you don't have time to communicate with the opponent actors. You have to practice martial arts and swordplay, and you have to memorize lines at the last minute. How can you deliver good results?
When Ding Xiu and Miao Yi were playing mahjong, they saw TVB's Swordsman disc in the living room of her room, in which Lu Songxian played Linghu Chong.
After watching a few episodes, combined with the original work I read, Lu Songxian performed this role very well, and it can basically be said to be a one-to-one restoration.
In the original work, Ning Zhong said that Linghu Chong was a child who had not grown up. He was naughty, active, mischievous, and not serious enough. Lu Songxian had these traits.
The only shortcoming of the TVB version is probably that the scenery and props are too big. The plastic film is used as a waterfall, and the foam template is used as a wall. Just a few scenes are repeated over and over again, which gives a strong sense of wu mao.
Closer to home, Li Yapeng is a bit serious and his acting is too dull, which is different from the Linghu Chong imagined by Ding Xiu.
But this has nothing to do with Ding Xiu anymore, because he is about to finish the film.
The last scene, where Shang Si crosses a cliff for revenge and reveals Yue Buqun's true face, was also the page of the script he got when he auditioned for the show.
"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."
At this time, Ding Xiu was wearing a bright red gown, with his long hair hanging casually on the back of his head, his eyes covered with cloth, and the dragon's whiskers on his forehead were blowing in the wind.
His speaking voice is not what it used to be, it's a bit hoarse and sharp.
"Lin Pingzhi, what do you want to do?" Yue Buqun, played by Wei Zi, spoke up.
"Aren't you going to have a showdown with Ren Woxing? If everyone under your command has learned the evil sword manual, then who else in the world will be your opponent?"
"Okay, let me tell you, the first sentence is that if you want to practice this skill, you must first die from the palace." At this point, Ding Xiu laughed loudly, and then continued after he was tired of laughing: "Yue Buqun, you are so stupid
Is the head of the Five Mountains Sword Sect having committed suicide? Do you dare to take off your pants and show them to everyone..."
For the same page of lines, a few months later, Ding Xiu's interpretation went even further.
During the audition, he was a novice in acting and didn't understand acting at all. He relied on his personal feelings. After joining the cast, he gained his own understanding of the characters after being trained by the director.
It can be said that he is really getting into the act now.
