Chapter 54: The Art of Cutting the Sky and Drawing the Sword
"You don't listen when I tell you not to drink. You have to live up to the beauty and the wine. Now, why is it so heavy?"
At night, in the alley at the entrance of the courtyard, Gao Yuanyuan helped Ding Xiu stagger over.
At the wine table, Ding Xiugao talked loudly and insisted on proving that he was not drunk after a thousand glasses of wine. After a few bottles of wine, he became like this. He could not stand firmly and could not speak clearly.
I had no choice but to take a taxi to take him back.
The alley was narrow and cars couldn't get in. In this short stretch of road, Gao Yuanyuan almost collapsed from exhaustion. Ding Xiu's head was buried in her shoulder, dead.
A few minutes later, the courtyard door was pushed open. Gao Yuanyuan, who was sweating profusely, couldn't hold on anymore. She sat down on the threshold and let the drunken Ding Xiu lie on top of her, which made her unable to kick him.
"Who is it?" Hearing the sound, Wang Baoqiang came out of the house: "Sister Yuanyuan, Brother Xiu, what are you doing?"
"Don't mention it, he's drunk." Gao Yuanyuan was too tired to move.
Drunk? Wang Baoqiang’s eyes widened.
He didn't know the exact extent of Ding Xiu's drinking capacity, but it was certainly not small. He usually drank wine as water and had never seen him drunk.
You are so drunk today. How much did you drink?
"Leave it to me and take a rest."
Without saying a word, Wang Baoqiang helped Ding Xiu up, and Gao Yuanyuan, who had her hands free, put her hands on her hips and fanned herself with her hands.
"I've given it to you, I'll leave first."
"Oh my god, I will never drink with him again."
Gao Yuanyuan left. Wang Baoqiang wanted to help Ding Xiu to the room. Before he could take a few steps, Ding Xiu opened his eyes.
"Brother, are you awake?"
"I'm awake, it's okay. You don't need to help me, I can stand firm."
Ding Xiu sighed and said to Wang Baoqiang: "We haven't practiced for a long time. Let me try to see if your kung fu has fallen behind."
Wang Baoqiang was dumbfounded and didn't know what was going on.
"Ah~"
Half a minute later, screams one after another came from the small courtyard.
…
Yunnan, A Chinese Ghost Story Crew Hotel.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ding Xiu, and I play the role of the Seven Nights Saint..."
On the first day, everyone arrived and the crew held a meeting to introduce themselves.
Director Li Huizhu is an aunt in her thirties or forties, with short hair and a bit fat figure.
Ding Xiu felt a little embarrassed when he noticed that her eyes were always on him.
Unspoken rules are not just for male directors, female directors, female producers, etc. have more fun.
Chen Shisan has an ordinary appearance, the kind that you can't find in a crowd of people.
Wearing a black peaked cap on his head, Ding Xiu guessed that he was bald because he wrote too much.
Cheng Xiaodong was a man in his fifties. Ding Xiu looked at him and he looked at Ding Xiu.
"I heard from Yuan Bing that you are a martial arts master. Let's talk about it if we have a chance."
Cheng Xiaodong's words attracted everyone's attention, and all eyes were on Ding Xiu.
Is there really such a thing as a martial arts master? Everyone doesn't believe it.
Ding Xiu said modestly: "I can't even call you a master, just a little bit of a farmer."
"Cheng Zhi, he is not a farmer." Wu Jing, the second male lead, said, "I fought with him before, and he beat me with both hands with one hand. Guess what?"
"There was a snap. It was so fast. I fell down with just one move. Besides, my master, Coach Wu, couldn't beat him either."
Cheng Xiaodong became interested. He heard from Yuan Bing that Ding Xiu beat Cheng Hui. Unexpectedly, he also fought against Wu Bing, the martial arts instructor in Peking.
Although he is afraid of young people in boxing, being able to defeat these two martial arts masters shows that Ding Xiu still has a lot of skills.
Xu Xiyuan opened her mouth and said, "Brother Ding is so good at martial arts, can you open my eyes another day?"
Ding Xiu has been paying attention to the number one female Nie Xiaoqian for a while. Her facial features are delicate and small, her skin is as smooth as jade, her figure is very thin, her slender waist is full and her hips are perky, which makes people want to pity her fiercely.
.
However, when she plays Nie Xiaoqian, she is definitely not as good as Wang Zhuxian, and her eyes are cold and there is no ghost in them.
Even the sharp-tongued Xiaodie can't compare. At least Xiaodie has a lot of breasts, long and white legs, a eloquent tongue, and is very good at getting things done.
"The days are long and there will be opportunities."
"Ahem!" Director Li Huizhu coughed: "Let's talk about martial arts later. Let's get down to business. I want to say a few points here. The crew is pressed for time. I hope everyone will memorize the lines well..."
Li Huizhu worked vigorously and resolutely. She did what she said and didn't waste anyone's time at all.
After explaining the cast and crew, let everyone break up and call other departments in one by one.
…
Three days later, the crew started shooting, worshiped God at eight o'clock in the morning, and started filming the first scene at ten o'clock.
As the director said, it was really a rush.
There was no scene for Ding Xiu on the first day, and his scene was on the sixth day. The male lead Ning Caichen was filmed these days.
The others all followed Cheng Xiaodong to practice the moves.
The ones who have more martial arts scenes are Wu Jing, Ding Xiu, and Yuan Hua. One is a martial arts champion, one is a real martial arts master, and the other is a master with decades of martial arts skills.
The three of them are the fastest to learn, and they are also the ones that make Cheng Xiaodong the most worry-free. Basically, he can understand it once he explains it.
What Cheng Xiaodong likes most is to work with this kind of actors, which saves his worries.
What I fear the most is the literary and opera actor. It’s so torturous. He has to use a double to do every word. His movements designed with passion are like feeding a dog.
That night, it was finally Ding Xiu's turn to film. As soon as he put on the makeup of the Seven Nights Saint, he was surrounded by a large number of people.
The second male lead Wu Jing, the first female lead Nie Xiaoqian, and the second female lead Xuan Xuan stared at him, making tut-tut sounds from time to time.
Especially Wu Jing, who was both envious and jealous.
Compared with Ding Xiu, he lost on his face.
He also has a five-cent look, Ding Xiu has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, cold eyes, and a head of shoulder-length, slightly curly hair that is so handsome.
And his nondescript short hair is unconventional.
Ding Xiu was wearing a black cloak. After getting on his horse, he held the reins in one hand and the other hand on the hilt of the Yixi Demon Sword at his waist.
"Director, I'm ready."
In this scene, Nie Xiaoqian is captured by the Black Mountain Demon and becomes his wife. Ning Caichen, a loser, is seriously injured. At the critical moment, the Qiye Shengjun of the Yin Yue Dynasty comes to the rescue.
This is Qiye's debut scene. There are not many lines, just a few sentences, and there are few martial arts moves. There is only one sword in the whole process.
The art of slashing the sky and drawing the sword!
Then the old demon from Montenegro was killed.
Behind Ding Xiu, several extras followed, playing the roles of the horses of the Seven Nights Saint.
"Yinyue Dynasty Qiye Sage Lord is here, why don't you kneel down quickly!"
"Hahaha, Qiye Shengjun, just because of you, I have never even kneeled down to your father in the Six Paths."
"When I was in the Yin Yue Dynasty, I often heard the Queen Mother talk about the deeds of Master Heishan, how domineering he was in the Demonic Way back then..."
After the filming officially started, the entire venue was silent except for the sounds of the actors speaking their lines.
Ding Xiu has few words, and his expression here only needs to be cold. It is not difficult for him who has already filmed two movies, and he can control it easily.
I don't know why, but he feels that he is more suitable for playing villains and characters who are ruthless and don't talk much. He has a natural acumen for such roles and can handle them easily.
