In a few days, the wave of boycotts against Xia Yu slowly subsided, but there were already special paparazzi stationed there, hoping to dig out other "stains" on Xia Yu, but Xia Yu basically didn't leave the hotel except for filming.
, they have absolutely nothing to do.
Xia Yu has been filming for several days, and now only the final scenes of the fourth unit are left.
Early on the morning of the 20th, the crew came to the Qingshen Mountain exterior set built based on the original work.
This is the work of a top production team. If replaced by a small production team, such large scenes can only be shot in a green screen studio and synthesized in post.
All actors, whether related or unrelated to this scene, followed the crew to the set.
Since it was an outdoor shooting, there were too many cars and it was inconvenient. Even big names like He Qin came by bus.
The conditions on the set were not that good. Apart from the separate clothing rooms for men and women, everyone was crowded into a makeup studio to put on makeup.
"The actors put on their makeup first, and put on the props and costumes quickly. Please be smart and don't make any mistakes!"
As soon as he arrived at the set, Chi Chong started giving orders, never leaving his hands on the trumpet. After arranging the actors who had roles to play, he started busy setting up the set. Although many things had been prepared long ago, the important equipment was not in place yet.
Requires on-site processing.
Today's first scene, although it is Xia Yu's last scene in the crew and plays a large role, there are also many plot characters involved in this scene, so Cheng Zhiqing, He Qin, Qu Ziyi, plus Xia Yuhe plays Jiang
All the actors playing Ni Luxing have arrived.
The crew was still divided into two, with one group still led by Chi Chong and responsible for the main filming.
The second team is led by Chen Chuan and is responsible for filming the cast and distant scenes.
The extras and special models have already changed their costumes and are waiting.
Two hours later, the actors, props team, and camera crew were all ready to take their places. Unfortunately, the sky was very gloomy and the rain had not started yet. Chi Chong simply took a few leading actors and gave them an in-depth explanation of the scenes to avoid being in a hurry during the performance.
The first scene of the group was a scene between the four of them, Xia Yu and Qu Ziyi. It was a scene in the rain, so it was quite difficult, so Chi Chong said, "We don't have much time. I can only give you two chances. If you can't pass, I'll change."
Wuti!"
When a late spring thunder exploded and a misty rain fell on the land of Jiangnan, the recorder marked the beginning and filming officially started.
"Unit 4 of "Stunning Beauty Per Capita", Act xx, Scene xx, action!"
Everyone had rehearsed this fight scene more than once, so when the filming started, they quickly got into the mood.
In the lens, there are flashes of swords, shadows of swords, and drizzle like silk. Every action and move is carefully designed, which not only ensures the beauty, but also makes people feel a chill coming towards them.
These actions may be fast or slow, and the real effects require post-production editing and special effects. As for some really difficult actions, they still need the help of replacements later in the shooting.
With some encouragement from Chi Chong, several people became more involved in the performance. No one wanted to be held back and they all worked hard. However, it was still difficult to complete this kind of rain scene!
"Ka! Do it again!"
The first pass did not achieve the effect Chi Chong wanted, but it was not a problem with the actor's acting skills. He watched it two or three times, picked up the walkie-talkie, and shouted: "Props team! Prepare two more plasmas (fake)."
The arrangement is for the extra actor who plays the last scene with Xia Yu. Xia Yu, in a moment you will use the prop to pierce the blood bag. From bottom to top, I want to see the blood flowing from the tip of your sword to the hilt, and finally dripping in the rain.
The effect is good, the record is ready to be recorded!"
Xia Yu: "..." Is Lao Chi adding drama to me?
…
Ten minutes later.
"Click! Passed!"
Compared with the hard work of several leading actors and a group of extras, the photographer who is following the camera in everyone's sight outside the camera is equally exciting.
‘The masters are among the people!’ This scene was photographed by Meng Dong.
The next scene was originally to film the encounters of the four Shen Luo people in Qingshen Palace after they were separated by a design.
It was just put on hold due to Xia Yu's reasons.
Here is a fight scene between Xia Yu and Cheng Zhiqing, which was filmed two days ago.
What this scene is about is that after Xia Yu was captured by Lord Shenzhao, he was held hostage by two guardians. Lu Xing, who had been hiding in the dark, used his poisonous skills to knock down the two guardians of Shenzhao Mountain. One of them, Shenzhao, Before his death, Protector Shan sent out a distress signal.
In an instant, the Shenzhao Guards hiding under Qingshen Mountain came up to kill them with overwhelming force, and discovered Mu Wushuang and the others.
This scene of Xia Yu is basically just a background board, it is not difficult and the shooting progress is very fast.
"Ka! This one has passed! The prop team is ready! The makeup artist comes up to touch up the actor's makeup!"
The reason why the TV series produced by Wei Jingcheng Studio are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is that in addition to the script itself, each drama has several supporting characters with flesh and blood that can resonate with the audience.
The role of Mu Wushuang is obviously good, so in this last scene, Xia Yu's role is the most important.
This scene was filmed of Mu Wu being injured twice and fighting with gritted teeth. She was surprised that Lu Xingyan's martial arts suddenly jumped thousands of miles and was no longer weaker than herself at her peak. But what made her even more surprised was that Lu Xingyan's eyes seemed to have recovered.
Mr. Liang is indeed a professional martial arts instructor. The series of martial arts moves he designed not only look sharp but also beautiful.
Xia Yu didn't say a word under the camera, but as she gritted her teeth and fought, her originally sharp sword moves became a little sluggish. Her gaze was no longer forward-looking, and she became suspicious. In the end, the two of them were forced to approach the Qingshen Mountain Cliff.
There used to be a ropeway there, but it was cut off now, leaving the two of them with no way to escape.
But after taking another picture, Chi Chong frowned. Others were fine, but Xia Yu, whom he valued very much, had a problem.
He didn't give Xia Yu any face, "Hey! Let's pause for ten minutes. Let's take a rest first. Xia Yu, come here for a moment."
He pointed at the monitor and said: "During the previous filming, Mu Wushuang was emotionally reserved and didn't express his emotions clearly towards Lu Xingyan. I can understand that, but you found out that he betrayed you and everything about him was a lie. You I didn't see a trace of 'love' in the performance given to me. Let me ask you, do you have this thing in your eyes?"
Faced with Chi Chong's questioning, Xia Yu was very calm. She asked Chi Chong, "Director Chi, are you sure that Mu Wushuang's feelings for Lu Xingyan started from love rather than gratitude? Or, what we want to express is What’s the tone?”
Chi Chong was stunned when asked.
After reading the original work, thinking about the script, and writing a biography of tens of thousands of words, Xia Yu couldn't say how much she resonated with this character, but when it came to understanding, she thought, maybe even the author of the original work might not be as deep as she was.
In Xia Yu's character analysis of the character Mu Wushuang, her feelings for Lu Xingyan are not fake, but gratitude is greater than love, or even no love.
She said, "Mu Wushuang is not an ordinary woman. She has been indoctrinated with a murderous mentality by her master since she was a child. Her life is full of tragedies. She has never expressed her yearning for feelings. The reason why she can insist on living is her belief from beginning to end. She only has one brother, and other relationships are a drag on her!
And Lu Xingyan appeared after the death of her brother Yuxiao Shusheng, a dark period when she was most isolated and helpless, and lost her eyesight because of her. In addition to being grateful, she felt more like a drowning person, grasping
A life-saving straw!
She can trust Lu Xingyan with her life, but she won’t trust her with her heart!"
Chi Chong was silent, and half of the set was silent as well. The rest of the people were watching the confrontation between the two. Even Meng Dong looked nervous. None of them expected that the crew, which had been peaceful for several months, would suddenly face such an event.
A battle!
Still Chi Chong and Xia Yu!
Unprecedented.
In the past few months, everyone has noticed that Chi Chong has treated Xia Yu differently. Xiao Wang, the director's assistant, saw that the situation was not going well and quickly went to Chen Chuan for help, "Director Chen, something serious is going on. Director Chi and Xia Yu are going to fight.
Already."
Seeing Chi Chong's expressionless face, Xia Yu shrugged and said, "If Director Chi feels it is necessary to let Mu Wushuang have some kind of affection for Lu Xingyan, I can try this kind of performance. I know that young people nowadays like to take drugs.
This kind of thing is fine, I can understand it!"
Unexpectedly, Chi Chong slapped his thigh hard, shocking Xia Yu. His eyes were burning, "I think it's feasible!"
Xia Yu: “??”
A group of melon-eaters: "???"
Chen Chuan, who just arrived: "?????"
Chi Chong moistened his throat and said, "I think your little girl's analysis makes sense! Ah, if you say screenwriter, then he is a screenwriter and knows how to write Hammer scripts!"
The main reason is that Chi Chong has filmed too many main dramas and is really not used to watching such greasy and crooked dramas, but as Xia Yu said, their studio also needs to have a good meal, but Xia Yu's words made him
I feel like I can step out of a certain frame.
Who said that female characters only think about love and love, but he wanted to make a different one!
'What's more, with Xia Yu's appearance and this topic, it won't affect Qiafen even if it's not stirred up!'
Turning around, he saw Chen Chuan rushing towards him from the distance holding an umbrella. Chi Chong handed him a cigarette and asked doubtfully, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong with the second team?" You're a der, you use the walkie-talkie.
What are you here for?
"Fuck!" A plant.
"Xiao Wang asked me for help, saying that you and Xia Yu were mad at each other, so I came over to break up the fight!"
Chi Chong frowned and thought for a moment. He seemed to be getting angry just now, but how could he admit it?
"It's nothing! Just listen to Xiao Wang Fang's nonsense!"
"It'll be alright." Chen Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, took Chi Chong's cigarette and hung it on his ear, held an umbrella and went back.
"Okay! Xia Yu, go and put on your makeup and prepare for the next show in ten minutes!"
Xia Yu nodded.
…
"Ka! Everyone rests where they are and prepares lunch. We will take the next photo in an hour!"
While eating lunch, Qu Ziyi came over and said, "Senior, you scared me to death just now."
Meng Dong was also used to this new actor often coming to Xia Yu's side, but he did not give up his seat to Qu Ziyi, who was the leading actor, and continued to sit next to Xia Yu. She could feel that Qu Ziyi simply cared about Xia Yu,
But there was nothing she could do. As an idol's temporary assistant, she didn't want Xia Yu to make a complete comeback before another outrageous scandal broke out!
With such a big crew, there’s no chance that someone would be lucky enough to take a photo and sell it to the paparazzi.
While Xia Yu was replying, he didn't forget to do the cooking at the same time. He smiled and said, "What, are you afraid that Director Chi will hit you on the head when he picks up the trumpet?"
Thinking about it, Qu Ziyi was also amused by that scene, "That's not true!"
Taking a mouthful of food, she continued, "I'm just doing this afternoon's scene. You probably have about a hundred more scenes, so don't be afraid. I wouldn't dare say it if it were another crew, but the crew of Wei Jingcheng Studio,
If you have doubts about your role or have other understandings, you can discuss it with Director Chi and others. If you can impress Director Chi and them, there is no problem in making some changes."
Xia Yu is usually not a talkative person on the set. If it hadn't been for his previous goodwill, she would definitely not have nudged her. After Qu Ziyi listened, he thought about it, nodded and smiled: "Well, I'll give it a try!
"
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the penultimate scene was shot.
This scene is after Lu Xingyan obtained the Shenzhao Sutra and revealed his identity. Just when everyone thought that Shenzhaojun, who had obtained the Shenzhao Sutra, would be the final winner, the plot was reversed and Shenzhaojun was suddenly poisoned!
It turns out that Lu Xingyan knew his life experience a long time ago, and he cooperated with Shenzhaojun from the beginning just to kill his father-killing enemy with his own hands. Just now, the Shenzhao Scripture had been sprinkled with a layer of colorless and tasteless drama.
poison.
At this point, the boss of the fourth unit, Shen Zhaojun, is finally dead. Cheng Zhiqing is worthy of being a gold medal supporting actor. His acting skills are explosive. Everyone, without exception, is led by his acting skills.
After the filming, everyone was in a daze. They were shocked when they saw Cheng Zhiqing getting up from the mud.
These scenes were filmed seven or eight times. Filming in the rain was very difficult. After eight or nine hours of filming, many people's physical strength could no longer adapt. They had to grit their teeth and hold on. The director didn't say it was over.
Can't stop.
Everyone is also considerate, because if today does not end smoothly, there may not be such a suitable heavy rain tomorrow, not to mention that after today's rain, you may fall ill, so you need to rest for at least a day or two. Every time it drags on for a day, you will be tired.
