Chapter 99 Brain-burning martial arts spy war drama
end of March
After the filming of some green screen scenes was completed, "Seven Swords" began to move to real-location shooting, and the first one was Liu Jiajie.
In fact, in terms of location, the first real-life shooting should be Mount Tai.
However, because there are too few Taishan scenes, and many of them are green screens with special effects, in order to take care of the schedule issues of some actors, Zuo Le planned to spare two or three days in the later period and take Yuan Ye and several actors who appeared in the Taishan scene to Taishan for reshoots.
That's fine, so there's no need to go all out and get the whole crew over.
But Liujiajie is different. The real and fake Ziyun Sword Master is the highlight of the play. There are many scenes and it requires a lot of real-life coordination. Zuo Le can't save trouble even if he wants to.
Liujiajie.
After Zuo Le arrived with the crew, he first communicated with the person in charge of the scenic spot and asked about the shooting matters in the scenic spot, and then started the official shooting.
Golden Whip Creek is a prime tourist area in Liujiajie. The crew of "Seven Swords" chose a place that is not visited by many tourists and built a Xiaoxiang Inn in real life.
Of course, in order to save money and time, the newly built Xiaoxiang Inn is actually an empty frame.
The exterior is nice and luxurious, but inside, except for scenes that need to be filmed such as the lobby, backyard, and some rooms, the rest are bare and empty rooms.
But Zuo Le doesn't care. He is not a tourist. The filming house is safe and durable, and can provide him with the shooting needs. The rest is not important.
At this time, several actors who appeared in Liujiajie, Yan Ni, Zhang Jiajia, Shui Miaomiao, and Zhou Song (Da Ben), also joined the cast. Zuo Le organized a filming seminar for the cast and some staff to determine
Liujiajie’s filming plan.
On April 2, the crew of "Seven Swords" officially started filming at the Xiaoxiang Inn in Golden Whip Creek.
…………
Inn lobby.
There are demon sect minions everywhere wearing black clothes and half-covered black iron masks.
Ma Sanniang, played by Yan Ni, is dressed in a long lavender gauze dress. She speaks softly and pretends to be flirtatious to tease Zhu Wujie.
"Hall Master Zhu, Sanniang has heard of your name for a long time. Everyone in the world says that you are the number one general under Master Dugu and the second leader of the Holy Cult.
Sanniang is truly lucky to meet a martial arts giant like you today."
"Hahaha, it's all friends in the world who praise me, it's ridiculous."
Hong Tao laughed proudly, but his fat hand calmly grabbed Yan Ni's little hand without letting go, touched it with his thumb, and smiled seductively.
"It must be very hard for the proprietress to manage such a big inn by herself. Today, I, Lao Zhu, will take care of your business. From now on, I will book this inn."
"Hey, San Niang, thank you very much for the honor from the hall master. Waiter, why don't you come and serve me soon?"
Yan Niyu smiled, but when she turned her head and faced the close-up of the camera, her face immediately darkened.
"Okay, this is the way to go, rest for ten minutes."
Zuo Le picked up the trumpet and shouted. Yan Ni and Hong Tao immediately relaxed, and the assistant waiting next to them went up to deliver water and clothes.
The scene filmed today is when Hong Miao and Lan Xin broke out from the Jade Toad Palace and followed the guidance of the heaven and earth phenomena caused by the combination of the two swords. They found the Xiaoxiang Inn in Liujiajie and saw the third sword Ziyun Sword.
Master Ma Sanniang.
At the same time, Zhu Wujie, who had been frustrated in the Jade Toad Palace before, also saw the strange phenomena of heaven and earth, so he chased after him without stopping, and he followed Hong and Lan who had just arrived at the inn.
Because Hong Miao was injured, the others were unwilling to fight Zhu Wujie head-on, so Ma Sanniang came out to make peace with the demon sect.
However, although Zhu Wujie is as lustful as life, but now that he knows that there may be something fishy about this inn, how can he fall into the trap again? In the scene just now, it seems that he has not changed his lust, but in fact he is deliberately testing, trying to trick Ma Sanniang.
The whereabouts of Chu Hongmiao.
…………
Regarding the part about the real and fake Ziyun Sword in Xiaoxiang Inn, Zuo Le made certain changes in the script of "Seven Swords".
The original version of "The Seven Heroes of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" may have intentionally made the plot younger due to the elements of animation. From the very beginning, it was revealed that Ma Sanniang was an undercover agent and the mystery was revealed directly, which greatly weakened the suspenseful reasoning element of the undercover scene.
Therefore, when Zuo Le later wrote the script, he took away the audience's perspective and asked them to follow Hong Miao Lan's perspective.
After Hong and Lan broke out from the Jade Toad Palace, because Lan Xin didn't know the way, they took a detour for a few days before arriving at the Xiaoxiang Inn. They found Da Ben who had arrived in advance and Ma Sanniang fighting, and stepped forward to stop them.
Yunjianfa, the three swords recognize each other.
I thought I would heal Hong Miao and then successfully combine the three swords, but I didn't expect my old rival Zhu Wujie to come and kill him. Zhu Wujie quickly saw through the shortcomings of Xiaoxiang Inn and prepared to lead his troops to attack
Inn.
Seeing that the situation in Sanjian was critical, Niu Xuanfeng suddenly arrived with the order of the leader of Dugu Qianqiu, transferred Zhu Wujie away, and led his own troops to surround the inn, but he did not move his troops for a long time.
The demon sect's abnormal signs made Hong Miao a little confused. Later, when his injuries improved and he was ready to combine the three swords, he failed because of Ma Sanniang, and Lan Xin was injured as a result.
This failure made Hong Miao's doubts deepen. At this time, Hou You, who was undercover in the Demon Cult, accidentally discovered that there was an undercover agent arranged by the Demon Cult in Xiaoxiang Inn. He immediately masked himself and came to deliver a message to Hong Miao.
Because Hou Tuo had repeatedly helped him in the Jade Chan Palace in the past few times, Hong Miao trusted him very much. Coupled with the previous abnormal behavior of the Demon Cult and the failure of the three swords, he immediately became suspicious of Ma Sanniang.
However, at this time, Da Ben unexpectedly discovered that the mute girl working as a waiter in the inn could speak and knew martial arts. Hong Miao added the mute girl to the list of suspects again.
Then Da Ben bumped into Ma Sanniang talking to the mute girl, and heard a harsh whistle. He went to ask, but Ma Sanniang denied it. Afterwards, Da Ben told Hong Miao that Hong was even more suspicious of Ma.
Later, Da Ben learned from a waiter at the inn that there was a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in the back mountain, which was good for Lan Xin, who was injured due to a failed attempt to combine it, so he volunteered to collect the medicine.
As a result, he was ambushed. Fortunately, Hong Miao, who was worried about his safety, arrived in time, otherwise Da Ben would have died.
This time when Da Ben was in danger, it looked too much like a murder, which made Hong Miao point the finger at Ma Sanniang. He almost concluded that Ma Sanniang was an undercover agent of the Demon Cult.
However, when he and Da Ben came back, they found Lan Xin in a panic on the way and learned from her.
After Hong and Ben left, a masked man suddenly came to assassinate Lan Xin. Lan Xin was injured and was no match. Fortunately, Ma Sanniang arrived and saved Lan Xin's life.
Later, during the fight, Ma Sanniang knocked off the masked man's veil and discovered that it was the mute girl. The mute girl was very powerful in martial arts. Ma Sanniang was unable to defeat her, so she could only protect Lan Xin and fight and retreat. Later, in order to protect Lan Xin, she and the mute girl jumped off a cliff and died together.
.
Such a result left Hong Miao stunned and overturned his previous conclusion.
Ma Sanniang was wrongly accused, and the mute girl is the real undercover agent of the demon sect!
Up to this point, this part of the plot has had many twists and turns.
Ma Sanniang first appeared as Ziyun Sword Master (decent)
Suspected to be an undercover agent (villain)
A mute woman appears with great suspicion (her decency is in question)
Da Ben accidentally discovered that Ma Sanniang was related to the mute girl, and then was in danger (villain)
The mute girl assassinates Lan Xin, and Ma Sanniang sacrifices her life to save her (decent)
However, this is not the end yet. Just when the audience thought that Ma Sanniang had confirmed her integrity, the plot took another turn.
Ma Sanniang returns safely, but the mute girl disappears.
This argument certainly did not dispel Hong Miao's doubts. He asked Lan Xin about the assassination. Lan Xin recalled the scene when the mute woman assassinated him, and suddenly realized that the mute woman's eyes were wrong at that time. She was very dull and did not look like a normal person.
Hong Miao combined the harsh sound of the flute mentioned by Da Ben and remembered that his father once told him about the evil power of a certain drug to control other people's minds with its music.
And Lan Xin said that she saw a Xiao on Ma Sanniang.
This time it was better, the suspicion on Ma Sanniang became stronger, and what was even more terrible was that the second time the three swords combined failed again because of Ma Sanniang.
Although Ma Sanniang used the excuse that she was poisoned by a mute woman, the doubts about her body were no longer concealed.
Hong Miao and Lan Xin began to be wary of Ma Sanniang. They secretly conducted various tests and tests, and Ma Sanniang revealed more and more tricks.
At this time, Ma Sanniang's identity is revealed again, and through flashbacks and narration, she explains how she provoked the enemy and filled in the various pitfalls in the previous reasoning.
Such a plot arrangement is enough to make the audience scratch their hearts and minds while watching it, and it is worthy of the nickname of martial arts spy drama.
