Xiao Qian was also very happy to see Jingtian. He took her off his neck and asked with concern: "What have you been doing recently? Have you gone to school well?"
Jingtian is two years older than Yuner, and is now a junior high school student. She looks like a big girl, and her facial features are almost the same as those familiar in her previous life.
"Brother, my grades are very good, don't worry."
Son Ye-jin looked at Jingtian, who was about the same age as Yoona, and realized that there were too many fairies in the world.
This little man is really seductive.
Xiao Qian didn't feel this way and introduced Sun Yizhen to Jingtian.
"This is Sister Son Ye-jin from South Korea. She is also an actress on the show. If you have any questions about acting in the future, please ask my sister for advice."
Jingtian had already seen Son Yejin, his eyes full of longing.
"Brother, please translate for me. I like my sister's If Love Is God's Will very much."
She didn't expect that Son Ye-jin knew Chinese, and she immediately laughed.
"Thank you very much. You are so smart and cute, and you will be able to perform better in the future."
Jingtian was a little confused.
Isn’t this sister Korean?
Why do you speak Chinese so well?
In the afternoon, the crew held their first meeting. All the leading actors were present, but one person was very dissatisfied.
"I said, look at my face. With my thick eyebrows and big eyes, do I look like someone who would betray the revolution?"
Chen Shuai has a lot of complaints.
He was overjoyed when he found out that he was going to star in "Scented Days". But when he found out that he was going to play a traitor, he only felt angry.
Xiao Qian doesn't like him.
"Whether this means rebellion or not, does it have anything to do with appearance? Of the famous traitors in history, none of them looked bad."
The eldest among them was one of the four most handsome men in the Republic of China.
Chen Shuai still wants to fight for it.
"Isn't this film and television art? If you say that I am upright and a traitor, the audience will not adapt to it."
There was nothing he could change about Xiao Qian's decision.
"I chose you to play this role because you are handsome. And if someone with your image plays a traitor, the impact will be greater. Even though you are playing a traitor, you are in this drama
The weight of it is very important. You have to account for 80% of whether this drama can hold up."
Xiao Qian really wasn't fooling him, it was the truth.
Although this is a female ensemble drama, it seems to be a place for actresses on the surface, and Chen Shuai's role is a shameful traitor.
Only if he plays well can he bring out the greatness of the female heroes. If he plays poorly, the glory of the female characters will be much dimmed.
Xiao Qian analyzed the plot again, and Chen Shuai finally became quiet.
Over the years, his development in both music and film and television has been very smooth, and he has become a superstar. He doesn't really value fame that much.
On the contrary, such a role that tests his acting skills is actually more important for his training and growth.
"How far do I need to act?"
Xiao Qian had already thought it through, and what he said shocked everyone.
"Act until you are walking on the street and someone throws rotten eggs at you, then you have succeeded."
Good guy, I don't know why, but a vague name suddenly flashed in Chen Shuai's mind, it seemed to be "Feng...".
That guy seems to have been condemned for the rest of his life because he beat his wife.
Production preparation is always the top priority, and the assistant director begins to report on the work.
"We went to the battlefields of those years for on-the-spot inspections, and also visited the entire Ushun River Basin. However, the width of the Ushun River today is limited and the water flow is shallow, so we cannot produce the desired effect in the camera.
.We conducted a detailed investigation in the nearby watershed and found a suitable place for shooting."
The assistant director hangs up the materials and lets everyone see clearly through photos and videos.
"This is near the Chaihe section of the Mudanjiang River. There are large stretches of flat areas and reed marshes along the river, and there are mountains and hills not far away. Through the use of lenses, the effect of the battlefield can be restored."
Compared with the Ushun River, the width of the Mudan River is more than 100 meters, which highlights the desperate situation faced by the eight heroines at that time.
Looking at the rapid water flow and wide river channel in the video, Xiao Qian was very satisfied.
"Then it's decided, the filming location will be here."
He looked at the script team again.
The progress of the script team is also very gratifying.
"We will be able to deliver the complete script by the end of the month, including the overall structure of the characters."
The props team followed up and reported.
"At present, three-quarters of the costumes and props required by the entire crew have been completed. There are still some weapons and props that need to be made. This will take some time, but it will definitely be completed in March."
Xiao Qian compiled the information and made a decision.
"Then the shooting will take place in early December. Construction and construction of the shooting site must start before October."
These are the work of the crew, and the next step is the actors.
Xiao Qian met Xu Qing for the first time.
Although this eldest sister is not young, she is really flirtatious. And she is the type who becomes more charming as she gets older. However, her charming style also has a clear sense of heroism, which is very rare among actors.
It is precisely because of these advantages that Xu Qing has a wide range of roles, and there is no role that she cannot handle.
This is also the main reason why Xiao Qian gave her the role of the first heroine, Leng Shuang.
Xu Qing is not worried about her acting skills.
This is a war movie, and acting is not the protagonist. What she is worried about is the action scenes.
"Mr. Xiao, I have long heard that your Xingguang drama, especially the fighting scenes, is very tiring. Our drama won't be the same, right?"
Unfortunately, she didn't get any comfort from Xiao Qian.
"Sister Qing, our drama will only be more tiring compared to other dramas."
Xu Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes and asked, "How tired can you be?"
Xiao Qian wasn't trying to scare her.
"It can be so tiring that you don't want to be a human being."
The next day, the expert came.
In order to make the shooting more professional, Xiao Qian specially invited military experts and training experts, and the cruel hell training began without everyone being prepared.
"I...I can't survive...I'm going to...I'm going to faint."
Son Ye-jin, who had run about three kilometers with ten kilograms of equipment on her back, felt like she was about to burn.
It was obviously a cold early spring, but she was already sweating profusely, and her thick jacket was soaked through.
Not only her, but those around her, including Xu Qing, Li Bingbing, Xue Jianing, Jing Tian and others, were all no better.
Today is their first training event, a 20-kilometer weight-bearing workout.
Seeing a man next to him leisurely riding a bicycle to supervise, Son Ye-jin felt itchy with hatred.
"We...why are we doing this?"
Xiao Qian said matter-of-factly: "This is to improve your physical fitness and endurance, and at the same time exercise your body to make you look more like real soldiers."
The weight-bearing training on the first day did not last until the end, because none of the actors persisted.
Even Li Bingbing and Son Yezhen, who have always paid attention to exercise, only ran seven kilometers before falling to their knees.
Xue Jianing was the worst. She vomited out bile and fainted on the spot. She was sent to the hospital for treatment.
Finally, they were driven back to the training camp by car.
There was a masseuse waiting for them, who gave them an ecstasy of physical therapy that made them as miserable as the stewed chicken that had just been taken out of the pot.
When no one was paying attention, Xiao Qian secretly wiped Sun Yejin's sweat.
"Be mentally prepared, this is just the beginning."
Son Ye-jin didn't even have the strength to breathe, and could only moan in vain.
"Are you going to make a movie, or are you going to train us to be killers?"
There is physical training in the morning and movement training in the afternoon.
This time props were used, a replica bolt-action rifle, and a bayonet attached.
Training experts give lectures to them.
"With this rifle, when engaging the bayonet, do not put your finger on the trigger."
The vast majority of ordinary people do not know the key points of bayonet fighting, and the posture of holding a gun is almost the same as when shooting.
But after explanations from combat training experts, I realized that the essentials of shooting and stabbing are completely different.
When stabbing, the part that the back hand should hold is the joint between the gun body and the butt.
"This posture is similar to the ancient method of using a spear. The reason why your finger cannot be hung on the trigger is that if the enemy's strength is too strong, it will cause injury to the finger. Such wrong actions cannot appear in our shooting.
"
Even Xiao Qian didn't know such details, and he seemed to have learned something new.
On the afternoon of the first day, these actresses learned how to master the stabbing postures under the guidance of training experts. Over and over again, it was boring and boring, which put great pressure on their spirits.
