In early August, filming of the script "Seven Swordsmen: Down the Tianshan Mountains" has started at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang Province.
The first male is Zhao Wenzuo, the second male is Wang Xuebing, the second female is Char Siu Fen, and the second female is Li Xiaoran. In addition, there are Hong Kong stars Lui Liangwei, Tang Zhenye, the combination of Wang Renze and Vulture in "Shaolin Temple", as well as the newcomers Qiao Zhenyu and Zhang Bo.
If you join, the lineup will be quite luxurious.
As the producer and artistic consultant of the drama version, Xu Ke went to Xinjiang Province to provide guidance and also made final preparations for the movie version to be launched early next month.
He Xin, who had never been too confident because he didn't get the script, now thinks about it, especially after watching the National Master's "House of Flying Daggers", it doesn't matter if the plot is weak, as long as he plays himself well
Just the role.
Just like now, there is a lot of criticism of "House of Flying Daggers" on the Internet:
"Old Zhang, you'd better go take pictures..."
"Are you treating the audience as idiots? Are you all immortal?"
“Music scenery level 3& film!”
"The story of two men and a woman rolling over in the grass."
"..."
Most of them complained about the plot, but of course there were also complaints about the actors, such as Kim Sung-wu's awkward and shocking lines, Song Dandan's appearance changing the style of the second half of the movie, etc.
But every time Zhang Ziyi is mentioned, it is a rare compliment:
"The most perfect big screen face - Zhang Ziyi!"
"Zhang Ziyi's costumes are so beautiful, and her dance is a highlight of the movie!"
"I only mention Zhang Ziyi's two dances and never mention the plot. These three stars are for us Ziyi!"
"The heroine is good, but only the heroine can hold on. Two Hong Kong people are in the show!"
"..."
Therefore, he is as calm as a dog now and is filming the last studio scenes of "The Promise" in a down-to-earth manner.
My girlfriend went back to Qingdao to film a week ago. This time she took on a time-travel drama called "My Martial Arts Boyfriend", playing a star agent and a martial arts master who traveled from ancient times to modern times and became a big star in the modern era.
Finally, the love story between the two.
He Xin has also read this script, but he couldn't stand it after halfway through. It's not that he doesn't look down on TV dramas, but what kind of script is this? It's just a mix of time travel, love, revenge, martial arts and other messy elements.
A hodgepodge into a box.
When he deliberately asked his girlfriend why she took on such a bad movie, her girlfriend replied in an understatement: the female lead, high salary, and all the actors she worked with were Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, and the last one was that the filming location was in Qingdao.
During the two months of filming, she was able to live at home with her parents.
At that time, he was speechless. It was not that he was speechless because he thought his girlfriend had fallen, but that except for the fact that he was working with Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, he actually agreed with everything else.
Well, the eldest brother will not talk about the second brother.
"Card!"
Director Chen shouted stop.
He Xin was shirtless at the moment, wearing a hood with messy gray hair, and his body was covered in green paint. This thing was not breathable, and in addition to the fact that it was the hottest season in early August, he was simply uncomfortable.
He was currently editing a special effects shot of a ghost wolf taking off his black feather robe, his soul was gone, and his whole person was reduced to ashes. However, this shot had been shot several times, but Director Chen never shouted.
At this moment, I saw Director Chen staring at the monitor and watching the playback. Seeing his frown, He Xin guessed that there must be another one, but what he couldn't figure out was that it was such a simple shot.
There will also be special effects processing at that time. Is it necessary for Director Chen to be so realistic?
Just as he was flexing his uncomfortable body and preparing to take another one, he suddenly heard Director Chen shouting: "It's over!"
He suddenly let out a long breath.
"Xiao He!"
Director Chen waved to him.
"director!"
He trotted over quickly.
Director Chen moved his eyes away from the monitor screen and took a closer look at his shirtless figure with green paint all over his body. He asked with some confusion: "Have you gained a little weight recently? I
Judging from the actual scene taken in Hengdian, your body seems to have a larger outline."
"..."
He Xin couldn't help but blush when he heard what Director Chen said. He said that some time ago, he let himself go and gained a full six or seven pounds. This was the result of him restraining himself a little later, otherwise he might have gained even more weight.
He could only scratch his scalp and said: "I'm sorry, director, I didn't pay attention some time ago."
"Oh, it's okay. This shot still needs to be processed in post-production anyway." Director Chen nodded and responded.
But He Xin felt secretly unhappy after hearing this. Since it still had to be processed in post-production, why did he take so many photos one by one? Don't you know that it's uncomfortable to have this green paint on your body?
He was just about to open his mouth and say that if it was okay, he would go and remove his makeup, but he heard Director Chen say again: "Xiao He, I heard that you have joined the film "Seven Swordsmen" directed by Xu Ke?"
Although it was quite confidential when the contract was signed, it is no longer news now. Last month, Xu Ke and the creative team behind the scenes from Hong Kong came to Beijing to select actors at the Beijing Sports Institute and Shichahai Sports School with great fanfare.
At the same time, the main actors of this movie were revealed one after another, including Li Min, Yang Caini, Zhen Zizi, Lu Yi, Zhang Jingchu and others, and of course He Xin was among them.
But since it was the first time that Director Chen asked formally, he quickly nodded and said seriously: "Yes, director!"
"congratulations!"
Director Chen nodded approvingly, and then asked: "I heard he is a villain?"
"Uh, yes!"
"Well, you played a good and evil character in my film, and then you played a villain..."
Director Chen nodded thoughtfully, and then said in an instructive tone: "Yes, if you want to be an excellent actor, you have to try different roles. It doesn't matter even if you fail. After all, you still have
Young. Look at Yuko, Daoming, they have also played many different types of roles..."
Director Chen was talking eloquently. He Xin was somewhat flattered when he heard Director Chen comparing himself to Uncle Ge and Uncle Dao Ming. But it doesn't matter what it means to be a failure? Are you making it clear that you don't think highly of Mr. Xu's ""
"Seven Swords"?
However, considering that his colleagues are enemies, and the two films are almost at the same time, they might face competition when they are released, he is not surprised by Director Chen's obviously hostile attitude. On the contrary, he is a little surprised.
Director Yu Chen’s frankness.
But after Director Chen gave a long speech of encouragement and instruction to him, he still cautiously reminded him: "Director, I have played a villain before."
As a joke, Brother Qiang in "Conquest" is a masterpiece that can be compared with Lan Yu in his mind, but the Ghost Wolf in "The Promise" seems not to be up to this level.
"Yeah?"
Director Chen was stunned, thought for a while, and then said "Oh": "I remember, it seems to be a documentary TV series, right? I heard it is quite popular, but I never watch it
this."
Although he felt a little unhappy, He Xin could understand it to some extent. After all, he was a cultural person and an elite. Naturally, he would not care about what they considered to be vulgar things.
It's like when Yu Feihong was interviewed by a writer who claimed to be unreliable. The writer praised her in the Hollywood movie "The Joy Luck Club" and then praised her in "Little Husband". This kind of criticism
The writer called the TV series extremely vulgar and very incomprehensible.
Of course, this writer has always flaunted himself as a cultural person and a social elite.
"...Anyway, this is a good opportunity for you, so you should be more strict with yourself, but don't be too relaxed!"
After going around in a long circle, He Xin finally understood. Director Chen was reminding him of his shortcomings, such as his relaxation in body management this time.
At this time, Dong Wei, the action instructor who had been sitting next to him, suddenly turned his head and smiled mysteriously at him.
I almost forgot about Stephen Dong. Brother Fing was also the action director of "Seven Swords".
Of course it was not easy for him to tell Director Chen that he deliberately gained weight because of the needs of the role in "Seven Swords". To say this was to disrespect the character of Ghost Wolf and Director Chen.
It sounds like he really went too far.
However, Director Chen's words were generally a kind reminder to himself.
He still nodded sincerely and said: "Thank you, director, I understand."
But then he couldn't help but twist his green body, and before Director Chen could speak, he hurriedly said: "Director, if everything is alright, I'm going to remove my makeup!"
