Full-time actor

Chapter 156 [155] Martial Arts Scene!

"Sissi knows that your Golden Rooster was nominated for the Newcomer Award, and she seems to be stimulated!"

"She said that studies and work are more important these days, and love will come later!"

Chen Yu finally had no choice but to ask Liu Xiaoli insinuatingly.

Liu Xiaoli is quite happy these days. When her daughter said this, she felt that she had grown up instantly, which made her very happy.

Unexpectedly, she found a boyfriend and showed his ambition. Liu Xiaoli regretted this relationship. Her daughter was much more mature than she imagined.

But Liu Yifei doesn't ignore Chen Yu. As Liu Xiaoli said, she is currently too busy with studies and filming, so how can she have time for love?

I can only throw it away every day, that is, I send text messages to Chen Yu every day to complain, have heart-to-heart conversations, and vomit bitterness.

She really just didn't see the text message Chen Yu just sent. When she got back to the hotel, she couldn't wait to watch the class of the Chinese Opera that day. While watching, she was studying and taking notes, and she had no time to play with her mobile phone.

Before going to bed, Chen Yucai received a reply from Liu Yifei.

"so tired!"

“I feel like I can fall asleep when I fall into bed!”

Liu Yifei was a little confused when she sent text messages. Chen Yu really felt the intensity of Liu Yifei's daily life; she was a newcomer herself, and she had to undergo various trainings by the crew during the day, so she couldn't relax for a moment.

She had to go back to watch Chinese drama classes in the evening. Indeed, apart from sleeping, there was really no moment that belonged to her.

Chen Yu didn't know how to comfort him. As a person who had experienced this, he had actually experienced this in his previous life. Liu Yifei had only persisted for a few days. Chen Yu had experienced this for more than ten years.

So he deeply understands the importance of perseverance at this time. Although it sounds a bit chicken soup, the path of life is indeed chosen by oneself.

How to live a good life, there is really no need for outsiders to interfere.

Some people choose to lie down and live happily for the rest of their lives. Is that wrong?

Life is so short, what’s wrong with me enjoying it?

Of course, some people choose to involute and try their best to climb up without stopping for a moment. This is not wrong... Liu Yifei and Chen Yu chose this track. Strictly speaking, they are on the same track. Humanoid.

It is definitely better to roll up early than late. Roll now so you can enjoy it later.

Liu Yifei in her previous life is a clear example!

"For the strong, suffering is just a gift!"

Chen Yu thought for a long time and sent out the words he had always remembered in his previous life.

This passage has been with him for half his life, and it is also the motivation for him to persevere again and again; sometimes, chicken soup is not a bad thing, it is very likely to be the direction you work hard for.

"Life is terrible. If one day you find that life is not that bad after all, it's not that life has gotten better, but that you have become stronger!"

"Come on, let's encourage each other, good night!"

After Chen Yu finished sending the message, he turned off the screen on his phone and went to sleep.

Drip!

Liu Yifei's reply was quick.

"You are my strong one!"

"good night!"

rub--

Chen Yu, who was feeling sleepy, stopped feeling sleepy the moment he saw this text message.

Are you my strong one?

"Then I will always be your strong man for the rest of my life!"

Chen Yu did not send these words, but Liu Yifei, who was sleeping in the room diagonally opposite him, with her long and shiny black hair spread on the pillow, was holding her mobile phone with one hand and staring blankly at the text messages. The words seemed to add a touch of warmth to the originally exhausted heart.

***

The next day, it was still Wia training.

Chen Yu had nothing to do and carefully read the script of "Dragon".

Speaking of which, this role was the one for which Chen Yu was least prepared, mainly because he had just finished filming "The Blind Shaft" and had not yet had time to experience it.

When I looked at the script this time, I felt like it was happening instantly.

Costume dramas are not as good as modern dramas. Performance is actually secondary. Temperament and charm are the key.

You have to perform this character's personality in a way that fits the positioning of a costume character and the image of Duan Yu in the minds of most readers.

Chen Haoming's acting is not that good, but his appearance and temperament are in line with the description of Duan Yu in Jin Yong's novel.

Her appearance is like jade, clear and soft!

Therefore, Chen Yu still wanted to try to figure out the aristocratic son-in-law style of Duan Yu's Dali royal family, plus his compassionate heart of practicing Buddhism since he was a child and aversion to beating and killing.

"Bookworm, idiot..."

Chen Yu read the script and compared it with the original work. At night, he read the previous versions of Duan Yu in Tianlong and took notes and analysis.

A week passed by in a flash.

Tianlong's crew training has officially ended, and the next step is the first filming at the Gubeikou Great Wall.

In order to allow all the actors to adapt to the director's filming rhythm, Zhou Xiaowen deliberately shot the script according to the literary drama and the martial arts drama. The first one was of course the literary drama, which the actor is better at, and the last few days were the martial arts drama.

After shooting, go to the next shooting location.

In November, it’s almost Sioux City in Jiangnan Province and Taohua Island in Zhejiang Province.

In December, he moved to Dali, Yunnan.

"The first scene is relatively simple, it's a group play!"

"This side of Gubei is all about the final war scenes..."

"Go put on makeup first!"

Zhou Xiaowen and Chen Yu were talking about the scenes to be filmed later. The protagonist here is actually Hu Jun. He has more scenes in Gubei. Chen Yu basically plays a role here, except for the last scene of Song Dynasty. The Liao War!

When you go to Su City, which is Chen Yu's hometown, Chen Yu's roles will gradually increase. When you go to Dali, it will be Duan Yu's main battlefield.

However, there is an advantage to the scene here. Because it is the ending of Tianlong, Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan are already husband and wife, so the two of them appear as a pair.

Moreover, the costumes of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei are completely different from those in the previous period, because Duan Yu is now the king of Dali, and Wang Yuyan is the princess.

Seeing the two people walking out after putting on makeup and wearing luxurious props and costumes, everyone present was stunned for a moment.

There is a sense of déjà vu in all of them.

The man is handsome and elegant, while the woman is like a hibiscus.

It was a perfect match, and Liu Xiaoli who was watching from the side felt an inexplicable joy.

She didn't know why looking at these two people standing together gave people such a pleasing feeling.

Perhaps, this is the so-called role fit?

Liu Xiaoli didn't understand either.

"Why is this prop designed so different?"

Hu Dan, who looked like a savage in Khitan clothes, looked at Chen Yu and Liu Yifei and immediately started yelling.

Shen Hao next to him was also very unhappy: "Exactly, why do I feel so ugly!"

"Is this too discriminatory?"

Shen Hao was also very dissatisfied with her way of dressing up. Chen Yu, who had read the original work, certainly knew that Shen Hao acted very well in it, and her costume was actually decent, but her hair accessories were really ugly.

She was actually a pretty girl, but she turned out to be uglier than she actually was.

You know, this is the heartthrob in "Pink Lady"!

That character is much more eye-catching than Azi's current appearance.

And Wang Yuyan and Duan Yu are indeed the most beautiful couple in the movie. The costumes, props, etc. are all very thoughtful at first glance.

"Okay, okay, the director has urged us, can we start?"

The set manager was begging grandpa and grandma to look at the actors. Hu Jun, like a boss, immediately led Chen Yu and others into the set.

"Find your own position!"

"Yifei, hold Chen Yu's hand, you are the princess now!"

"Come closer, don't be so shy?" Zhou Xiaowen was holding a loudspeaker and looking at how everyone was standing, because the filming started soon, and this was the scene, and then they started moving and talking.

"Relax your body, it's too stiff!"

Chen Yu naturally held Liu Yifei's little hand and reminded her.

But obviously, this should be Liu Yifei's first time being held by a man. Her body has become rigid and her ears are red.

Listening to Chen Yu talking in her ear, she became more and more nervous.

The key point was that she was thinking about her relationship with Chen Yu, which made her feel even more embarrassed.

"Yifei, is it okay?"

Zhou Xiaowen reminded again that among everyone, she was the most uncoordinated.

The smile also looks fake.

Even Liu Xiaoli can see the problem, let alone the director.

creak!

Chen Yu suddenly scratched Liu Yifei's waist. Liu Yifei was ticklish and laughed a little. She took off her hand and slapped Chen Yu: "What are you doing?"

"Relieve your tension!"

"Do you feel better?"

Chen Yu was about to scratch again, but Liu Yifei immediately dodged. The two of them laughed and held hands together after a while, with their cheeks slightly red.

However, the body is not as stiff as it was at the beginning.

And it’s like a girl in love suddenly accepts a boy’s hand.

"Very good, that's it!"

"Hold!"

Zhou Xiaowen had just witnessed the whole scene, and he had to admit that this guy Chen Yu could do it!

Tease the little girl into submission.

He doesn't care if there are sparks among the actors. It has nothing to do with him as a director. What he wants to do is to shoot a good movie. As long as the movie can be shot well, the actors will stay with him every day.

In later generations, reporters would never ask the director about many actors who cheated while filming, because they would not care.

Maybe this will be beneficial to filming.

Why should he stop it?

"The 110nd day of "Dialogue", , action!"

Snapped!

When the clapperboard was taken, Chen Yu took Liu Yifei's hand and immediately moved.

They were filming a scene to rescue Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng was imprisoned because he wanted to prevent Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji from sending troops to the Song Dynasty.

Hu Jun, who played Qiao Feng, had just crawled out of the tunnel, and Chen Yu hurriedly knelt down to help him up.

"Third brother!"

"Big brother!"

Liu Yifei also stepped forward to help him.

……

The filming of this scene was really much simpler compared to Chen Yu's previous "Conquest" and "The Blind Shaft".

Because he doesn't need too much acting skills, they are all group portrait scenes, and they use wide-angle lenses. Except for the close-up shots when he is being supported, the rest are just cutscenes.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei took Hu Jun around in a circle to the back of the house, and someone immediately handed Hu Jun some clothes.

"Group, let's go!"

Zhou Xiaowen shouted, and suddenly the sound of fighting broke out.

"Ahhh-"

Countless people fought there with swords and guns, looking completely chaotic.

Liu Xiaoli looked on laughing.

After 3 minutes, the scene was finished.

"Guarantee one!"

"Let's do it again!"

After all, Zhou Xiaowen graduated from the Department of Photography at Nortel, and the shooting requirements are of course quite high, so he would shoot many scenes several times and then choose the best ones.

The literary drama in Gubei was filmed for almost 10 days, and finally it was the turn of the martial arts drama.

The filming of the martial arts scenes was not directed by Zhou Xiaowen, but by Zhao Jian, who was also Tianlong's martial arts instructor.

However, he can only teach some simple martial arts routines, and the fighting scenes in Gubei are difficult, so the martial arts finger is Yuan Bin.

Different from literary opera, the shooting of martial arts requires rehearsal first.

Rehearse the martial arts routines that will be filmed later. The martial arts instructor has to teach you how to look good.

Only when you know how can you start shooting.

It’s completely different from shooting literary dramas.

Literary dramas test acting skills, which will always be NG; while martial arts dramas have fewer NGs, but it takes a long time to shoot a scene, and it often takes a long time to prepare. It is just like splitting the scenes, breaking down the scenes one by one, and then starting shooting.

It must be OK once.

Because martial arts scenes are dangerous, the more you shoot, the greater the risk.

There are very, very few guarantees in martial arts dramas; either reshoot or just go ahead.

Duan Yu actually had a lot of fighting scenes in Tianlong, and the number of them became more and more in the later stages. What Gubei was filming was originally the finale scene, so the martial arts scenes were even more important.

Especially the last battle between Song and Liao, which was the pinnacle of the martial arts drama in Tianlong, was very difficult to shoot.

Of course, this scene was also the most difficult to shoot and must be saved for the end.

"Everyone is here?"

Yuan Bin spoke Cantonese and came to Chen Yu and Hu Jun.

"Which one shoots first?"

He looked at the three actors in front of him who were very important in martial arts. Duan Yu, Qiao Feng and Xu Zhu did have the most fighting scenes in the later period. Shen Hao, Jiang Xin and Yang Ying only had a few scenes. Liu Yifei and Wang Yuyan had the least. He didn't have any kung fu, but Duan Lang went to the battlefield for her sake.

So there are shots, but they are purely for show.

"Let me do it!"

Hu Jun and Chen Yu suddenly spoke out at the same time.

Because Hu Jun is the big brother, he sets an example, but actually he feels very unsure inside. Although he has been practicing these days, he has never filmed a fighting scene in his life.

And Chen Yu raised his hand purely because... he wanted to finish filming early and then go to the Golden Rooster.

This year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival has begun, but there are still three days before the awards ceremony. Chen Yu has to finish filming quickly and then fly to Xicheng.

"Chen Yu!"

"He has a background in martial arts, so he should shoot faster!"

"You all take a good look..."

Of course, Yuan Bin knew Chen Yu very well. He still remembered the through-arm punch he performed on the day of the audition.

"it is good!"

Chen Yu came to Yuan Bin in costume.

　I have no time to write during the day these days, so I have to stay up late at night to write...
