Chapter five hundred and ninety fourth asking for trouble
The Four Seasons Garden Hotel is the best hotel in Qinan County and is also a two-star hotel. Many tourists who come to Xiaolingshan Resort and Film and Television Base stay here.
Xue Chen asked at the front desk and learned that because it was now the peak tourist season in Xiaolingshan, the hotel rooms were almost full, leaving only a few VIP suites empty.
Xue Chen didn't think much and asked for a VIP suite.
After Xue Chen got the room key card, Guan Hong, Sister Tao and Wu Ziyuan walked into the lobby belatedly and stood together waiting for the elevator.
Guan Hong smiled and asked: "Xue Chen, which floor do you live on?"
"Twelfth floor, room 1201." Xue Chen looked at the room card and said.
Guan Hong hesitated and said: "The twelfth floor is the VIP suite."
"There are no ordinary rooms anymore, so we can only stay here." Xue Chen said helplessly.
Guan Hong coughed lightly and joked with a smile: "The crew will not reimburse the accommodation fee."
Wu Ziyuan's eyelids were dancing. The VIP suite costs 1,200 yuan a night, and the substitute's compensation is 300 yuan a day, and the accommodation alone is 900 yuan. Are you kidding me? Are you here to be a substitute, or to be an uncle?
Yes?! He is the male lead, the male protagonist, and he only lives in a single room for three hundred and one nights! Damn, is there any justice!
When the elevator door opened, Wu Ziyuan was the first to stand in with a dark face.
The next day, the crew arrived at the film and television base one after another before nine o'clock to prepare for the next day's filming.
Xue Chen and Guan Hong stood together. Guan Hong was holding the script and telling him about the scenes that required him to perform as a substitute today. They were all relatively difficult movements, requiring running, jumping, and even sliding down a hillside.
Wu Ziyuan will never act in these scenes himself. He is worried that he will be in trouble. Later, he only needs to add a scene showing Wu Ziyuan's face and edit it into it.
"The first scene is when you are sliding down a hillside while holding a gun in your hand and shooting at the puppet soldiers..."
At this time, Wu Ziyuan came late with a bald head to help. When he saw Xue Chen standing with Guan Hong, his face showed his displeasure. When he approached, he asked loudly: "Director Guan, I will do all the scenes in the future."
I perform all the roles myself, so there is no need to use a stand-in."
"Ah?" Guan Hong looked at Wu Ziyuan in surprise.
Xue Chen also turned to look over.
Wu Ziyuan put his hands in his pockets, and his handsome face was full of impatience: "I think it's better for me to act in the play myself. Only in this way can I be worthy of the audience and worthy of my identity as an actor, right?"
Guan Hong's mouth twitched, and he wanted to scold her in his heart. Who are you kidding by saying this? If he had this kind of consciousness, half of the hundreds of scenes ahead could be performed by stuntmen?
But since the male lead said that he wanted to act, as the director, he had no right to refuse. Thinking of Xue Chen on the side, he felt troubled. How could he not see that this was clearly meant for Xue Chen.
Seeing that Wu Ziyuan no longer planned to use himself as a substitute and was going to act in all the scenes by himself, Xue Chen looked indifferent and said to Guan Hong expressionlessly: "Director Guan, I'll take a break first, you guys are busy."
"That's...ok." Guan Hong sighed, a little regretful. He was unwilling to use a stand-in before, and it also required post-editing, which was very troublesome and the broadcast picture would be a bit messy and unsmooth.
But Xue Chen was an exception. Yesterday's five scenes completely conquered him. He wished he could put a layer of Wu Ziyuan's human skin mask on Xue Chen's face and let Xue Chen star in the whole process!
Seeing Xue Chen walking away, Wu Ziyuan raised the corner of his mouth and secretly said proudly: "See why you are so proud? You are just a substitute. If I want you to get out, you have to get out."
Guan Hong came over, glanced at Wu Ziyuan indifferently, and said: "Get ready for your clothes. The first scene today is a fierce battle on the hillside..."
Han Shiying didn't say anything when she learned that Wu Ziyuan would no longer use a stunt double and decided to act in all the scenes herself.
The makeup team, props team, and photography team all started moving, and more than 20 people rushed to the shooting location, a forest hillside more than ten meters long.
The hillside was covered with fallen leaves. Wu Ziyuan, who had already changed his clothes, was standing on the top of the hillside, holding a prop pistol in his hand. A dozen extras playing puppet soldiers were also ready at the bottom of the hillside.
When everything was ready, Guan Hong raised his hand and lowered it, signaling to start filming!
Wu Ziyuan, who was on the hillside, jumped sideways and slid down the hillside, but before he could make any move, Guan Hong shouted "stuck"!
"No, no! The range of your jump was too small. You didn't show Zhao Zicheng's brave temperament at all. You have to use force. Your movements were too soft. Try again!" Guan Hong shouted loudly and sat back down to the camera.
forward.
Wu Ziyuan stood up with an unhappy look on his face, slapped the leaves on his body, and climbed back up the hillside.
Wu Ziyuan jumped off the hillside again, lying on his side on the leaves and sliding downwards. Guan Hong frowned. Although he had not yet achieved his ideal picture, he reluctantly accepted it. But soon, someone stood up and shouted, "
Card'.
Wu Ziyuan stood up and said impatiently: "What's wrong?"
"You have to understand that when you slide down, you will have a gunfight with the puppet troops. How can you cover your eyes with your arms? How is that okay? How can you shoot?" Guan Hong shouted.
"Use a substitute, I won't act anymore..." Wu Ziyuan was about to say this after he stood up, but he swallowed the words again and felt very irritated. Can he not cover his face when sliding down, in case he gets bruised?
What should I do if my face is damaged?
Although Xue Chen was also standing behind the crew, Han Shiying stood beside him, looking at Wu Ziyuan asking for trouble, and raised the corner of his mouth with an expression of 'you deserve it'.
Card! Card! Card!
One scene took a full hour to shoot and was reshot twelve times, but it was finally passed.
Guan Hong had a look of helplessness on his face. Although he managed to pass, it was still only a passing grade of six points. He was sure that if it were Xue Chen who took the photo, he would have scored at least nine points, or even better!
The crew members are even more complaining about Wu Ziyuan. Every time they reshoot, they have to suffer and suffer. The more they look at Wu Ziyuan, the more they dislike him. They don’t have the ability, and they are so full that they have to act like a hero and do the filming themselves. It’s a drag.
Everyone.
Wu Ziyuan was even more miserable. Half of his body was numb from the fall, and there was a burning sting from the contact with the ground. You could tell without even looking that there must be some redness and swelling.
Guan Hong waved his hand and signaled the venue to be moved: "Get ready for the next game."
The next scene needs to be filmed in a film and television base. The plot is that Zhao Zicheng, the second leader of the bandits, sneaks into the Japanese's lair and steals confidential documents.
There is a large area of buildings imitating the Republic of China period in the film and television base. In front of a courtyard with red bricks and blue tiles, the camera was set up and pointed at a wall. The picture captured was of Zhao Zicheng turning over and jumping onto the wall, and then climbing along.
Go up to the roof.
"Okay, we're ready to start."
Everything is ready, Guan Hong said to Wu Ziyuan.
Wu Ziyuan, who was playing with his mobile phone, turned pale and said in disbelief: "Director Guan, are we ready to start? Where are the wires from the prop team? Without wires, would I turn into a monkey and climb up?"
Wu Ziyuan's words stunned Guan Hong and even everyone, because everyone had forgotten about Wia. It was true that Wia was needed to shoot this scene, but why did they forget such an important thing? Because Xue Chen,
Yesterday, wires were not used in all the scenes that required wires, so that everyone forgot about wires.
Guan Hong waved his hand a little irritably: "Shang Wei Ya."
He is very unhappy now. He used Xue Chen for a day yesterday, and he is really not used to switching back to Wu Ziyuan today. It is like a teacher who has been giving lectures to a class of top students. He can understand everything with just one click. Teachers and students get along very happily, but
Suddenly I was in a class full of poor students, and I felt so tired.
The members of the crew also cast their eyes vaguely on Xue Chen, who had been watching the show with the crew, and they were also very melancholy.
After spending half an hour, Wu Ziyuan finally attached wires to his body and started shooting.
Seeing Wu Ziyuan climbing over the wall with a wire, Guan Hong felt awkward, especially since Wu Ziyuan had no martial arts skills at all, and his movements were very stiff, without the natural feeling of integration that he wanted most.
After a meal of dumplings, eating steamed buns is really hard to swallow.
Once again, it took nearly an hour and a half, and Guan Hong pinched his nose and finally passed.
It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
During lunch, everyone from the director to the extras was very dull.
The two scenes were filmed twenty or thirty times, and Wu Ziyuan was so tired that his back ached, he was so angry, and he couldn't even eat a bite of his lunch box.
The bald assistant came closer and said, "Ziyuan, I think it's better to use a substitute."
Wu Ziyuan frowned and nodded: "Go and talk to Director Guan."
When Guan Hong learned that Wu Ziyuan agreed to use a substitute again, his face showed no expression, but he was filled with contempt in his heart. It was you who didn't use a substitute, and now it's you who is complaining about being tired and using a substitute. What the hell.
Guan Hong found Xue Chen and asked him to continue playing as a substitute.
"Director Guan, I have decided to go back tomorrow." Xue Chen said.
"Ah?" Guan Hong was anxious and whispered in a hurry, "Xue Chen, are you angry at Wu Ziyuan's actions?"
Xue Chen smiled and shook his head: "Director Guan, you are overthinking. This little thing is not worth my anger. To be honest, I came to be a stand-in just to experience the feeling of acting and learn from the experience. I have experienced it now.
, and I have enough experience, so there is no need to continue to be a substitute."
"That's right." Guan Hong moved his mouth, with a look of regret and helplessness on his face. He really couldn't bear to part with Xue Chen, a perfect substitute. If Xue Chen left, where would he find such a good substitute?
Soon, Han Shiying also learned from Guan Hong that Xue Chen was leaving. She found Xue Chen and begged: "Xue Chen, can you act for a few more days to help me? Well, five days at most, I
The scene has just been completed, and it’s really boring to play opposite Wu Ziyuan.” (To be continued)
