Extracting skills from movies

Chapter 671 Heartbreaking
Upon hearing this, Du Sheng nodded in understanding.

He noticed that Liu Yifei also looked tired, so he said:

"I get up early every day to practice. Xixi, you must have been lazy in practicing Crane Fist for a long time. You can learn it from me again.

This kind of internal martial arts is very helpful for regulating the mind, and if you practice it well, it is also good for sleep."

"I will be there on time tomorrow!"

Liu Yifei nodded innocently. She had wanted to ask Du Sheng for new instruction for a long time, but the two of them just couldn't agree on the time.

Now hearing Du Sheng's active invitation, he naturally happily agreed.

Although Jia Jingwen was not interested in practicing boxing, she quickly agreed in order to avoid being defeated in one round during the sparring.

Just as Lian Kai was about to join in the fun, Wu Jing covered half of his face with the script.

This veteran actor, who has filmed several dramas with Du Sheng, already knows the art of survival.
When Du Sheng teaches boxing, there should be no more than two male creatures within a three-meter radius.

Du Sheng glanced at Wu Jing and Lian Kai, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and said with a hint of ridicule:
"Why? You guys also want to compete for the title of 'Special Forces King'?"

He casually threw the sweaty wrist guard on the folding chair, and the metal buckle made a crisp sound.

Although these skills in "Confidential" are not intended to be demonstrated to men, other skills can still be taught in order to make the fighting scenes look better.

He looked at Lian Kai's stiff horse stance, whose coordination was more than half inferior to Wu Jing's.

As a villain, he is too weak to hold up the aura.

But then again, without any special skills, even if the actions were broken down into slow motion, how much of the essence could ordinary people grasp?
They can only quickly produce a good product, as long as it looks powerful.

At the makeshift studio set at Bay City Wharf, the crew simply burned a stick of incense, and before the sound of firecrackers had faded away, Du Sheng's opening fight scene had already begun filming.

"Brother Sheng's moves are so cool!"

Xiao Zhang, the groundskeeper, held up the monitor and shouted:

"Working non-stop from morning till night, this is not a human being, this is simply a perpetual motion machine!"

Du Sheng's silhouette leaped in the morning sun, a long knife cut through the morning mist, and the camera in the camera was rotating around chasing him from the deck to the cargo hold.

The crew's lunch boxes went cold three times and no one had time to open them.

"No, I really can't do it anymore!"

Mai Shaohui stood in front of the monitor, holding the intercom, and watched Du Sheng do another somersault to avoid the flying bottle:

"This guy has already shot seventeen scenes today, and they are all difficult moves!"

But Du Sheng never complained of being tired.

It was not until the sunset dyed the sea blood red that Mai Shaohui pulled his sleeve and dragged him to the rest area:

"Take a break! If you keep shooting like this, you'll collapse from exhaustion!"

"It's really okay."

Du Sheng felt like he was just warming up:
"My movements today are too conservative. Look at the space I'm using. I can be more open."

Won Bin held up the storyboard and approached the monitor:
"That's right! Ah Sheng is such a skilled fighter, and we're wasting resources by filming so conservatively."

This "The Man from Nowhere" is like a steel cage tailor-made for Du Sheng. He fights every day from the dawn to the starry sky. The wires leave purple marks on his skin, and the blasting air waves make his eardrums hurt.

But every time Mai Shaohui shouted "Cut" through the megaphone, his eyes were filled with the desire to fight, as if those difficult moves were not the culprit for wasting physical energy, but a catalyst for injecting adrenaline.

"Ah Sheng, your physical reserves are worthy of being the world boxing champion."

Mai Shaohui stared at the neat side kick shot on the monitor, the lens reflecting the strong light of the fill light:

"But we have to shoot scientifically. I have prepared a stand-in plan for tomorrow..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Du Sheng:

"How about we upgrade the street fight scene? I want to try grabbing a gun with my bare hands and then doing a series of backflips."

He pulled off the wig that was stuck to his forehead, and beads of sweat slid down his neck into the collar of his combat uniform.

Yuan Bin came closer holding the storyboard, and the reflection of the camera showed the excitement in his eyes:
“This should have been filmed a long time ago!
In the car chase scene this afternoon, we can have Du Sheng jump directly from the roof of the car to the container..."

Mai Shaohui's eyebrows twitched, and he saw He Guohua nodding slightly in the shadows, and then he relaxed:

"Add safety pads, prepare two sets of wires, and have the medical team on standby."

When Du Sheng proposed the idea of ​​dismantling the opponent's firearms in seconds, the set suddenly fell into a strange silence.

He casually assembled the Beretta handed to him by the prop master, and the metal parts fluttered like butterflies between his fingers.

"You are simply a monster!"

Mai Shaohui looked at the smooth movements and suddenly realized that the other party was not only a treasure trove of action scenes, but also a walking encyclopedia of arms.

Du Sheng compressed the time for blind disassembly of an M4A1 to 12 seconds, and his technique when modifying the silencer was more skillful than that of an armorer.

When the camera captured the slow motion of the bullet penetrating the triple obstacles and hitting the bull's eye, Won Bin was so excited that he almost spilled his coffee:

"This is what an action scene should be like!"

Mai Shaohui held the monitor stand and suddenly understood why this person had risen so quickly.

Some talents are destined to blossom in actual combat.

On the second day of filming, Mai Shaohui obviously increased the difficulty of the movements.

Du Sheng's fighting scenes include many difficult moves, including jumping off a five-meter-high container, splitting wooden boards with his bare hands, and even completing precise shooting on a speeding motorcycle.

"This kid is crazy!"

Mai Shaohui watched Du Sheng's perfect landing when he jumped off the container:

"But he is so handsome that one can't take his eyes off him!"

What surprised Mai Shaohui the most was Du Sheng's proficiency in firearms.

His wrists fluttered like butterflies as he removed the silencer, and under the spotlight the parts danced a precise tango on his fingertips.

"How about adding a close-up of guns tomorrow?"

Mai Shaohui's eyes lit up.

"can."

Du Sheng smiled and handed the gun back:
“But I suggest adding a slow-motion shot when disassembling the gun, so that the audience can see the structure of each part clearly.”

He Guohua watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh:

"Look how professional Asheng is! He even considered the camera angle."

Mai Shaohui wiped the sweat from his forehead:

"This guy is more like a director than me, but..."

He pointed at the monitor:
"The effect is indeed much stronger than yesterday!"

In this way, the filming of "The Man from Nowhere" is going well.

Every movement of Du Sheng is precise and powerful, and every shot is full of tension.

Mai Shaohui and Yuan Bin worked in perfect harmony and made constant adjustments based on on-site conditions to achieve the best film effects.

"This is the cooperation of masters!"

Xiao Zhang, the field clerk, sighed:
"Du Sheng's skills, Director Mai's vision, and Director Yuan's creativity are a perfect match together!"

On the fifth day of filming in Bay City, Du Sheng had just returned to the hotel after a full day of high-intensity training.

The special training during this period has put him in excellent physical condition, but the double gravity field created by working around the clock still makes him feel a bit like an ascetic.

There were scorching flames in the muscles and bones made of fine steel. It was obviously not enough to extinguish the fire that burned in his heart by just practicing boxing and kicking every morning and evening.

Du Sheng thought about it and decided to call Liu Yifei and ask her to come to his room to discuss role-playing issues.

Du Sheng could sense that this girl didn't participate in group activities with the group and was actually a little shy during one-on-one competitions.

It's not okay to not be able to relax!
He had just picked up the phone when the doorbell rang.

A slim silhouette was reflected in the peephole. Jia Jingwen was wrapped in a misty blue silk nightgown. The embroidered camellia around her waist glowed faintly under the ceiling light in the corridor.

She put on makeup today to make her darker complexion look soft and natural. She wore a light-colored long skirt, and looked much more mature and elegant than usual. "You've been indifferent for a few days, okay?" Jia Jingwen's fingertips brushed across the water droplets on his chest, and her carefully trimmed willow-leaf eyebrows raised in a teasing arc.

She had clearly just showered, the scent of white peach shampoo still lingered in the ends of her hair, but there was an ambiguous red mark on her collarbone.

This contradictory aesthetic reminded Du Sheng of the gold-plated Desert Eagle in the armory, dangerous yet exquisite.

The warm yellow light and shadow wove dark patterns on the Persian carpet, and the click of Jia Jingwen locking the door with her backhand woke up the dust sleeping in the air-conditioning vent.

"As long as it doesn't affect tomorrow's filming, you can spar in any way you want. I don't believe you can come up with any tricks."

Du Sheng: “…”

Jia Jingwen is a more realistic person. Her original intention of entering the circle was to find a backer for herself.

Du Sheng is not only handsome, rich, powerful and mighty, he is simply the best candidate.

The most important thing is that she has long developed a dependent mentality towards Du Sheng.

It’s just that we’ve been quite busy with filming during this period, and we all have roommates, so it’s not a good idea to do anything too extreme at night.

Jia Jingwen couldn't wait to get closer, but saw Du Sheng suddenly lowered his voice and said a few words in her ear.

Her eyes widened immediately, and her face flushed:
"Is this really possible?"

Du Sheng chuckled and explained:
"This is not an ordinary way of sparring. The inspiration comes from the horse training skills of Princess Minmin in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber!"

After hearing this, Jia Jingwen's heart beat faster.

Although she was a little nervous, for some reason, she was secretly looking forward to it deep down in her heart.

When she took off her nightgown, she was like an Amazon warrior taking off her armor. The moment she touched the scar on Du Sheng's waist, she trembled and laughed:
"It turns out that the Predator is also ticklish..."

The last note disappeared into Du Sheng's palm, which was covered with light calluses.

When the morning light pierced through the clouds, Jia Jingwen was curled up in the sheets counting the number of his abdominal muscles.

When Du Sheng got up and put on his clothes, the mechanical watch on the bedside table showed 5:47, which was enough time for him to complete his morning exercises and apply for a sick leave note for the woman.

When he stuffed a note with the words "Acute gastroenteritis" into He Guohua's script folder, a mischievous light flashed behind the old man's gold-rimmed glasses:
"Our crew is really lucky. The actresses all had stomach problems on their day!"

Liu Yifei was stretching her muscles in the corner of the set, and the smooth lines of her vest were faintly visible under her sportswear.

She looked at Du Sheng's back as he helped Jia Jingwen adjust the wire, and suddenly changed the direction of the starting move of the Crane Fist.

Some battlefields do not require close combat, so isn't it a good strategy to retreat in order to advance?

When Du Sheng brought back the hotel's specially supplied bird's nest in the evening, she was practicing a new kicking move in front of the mirror. The mirror reflected the girl's determined smile.

She was indeed in no hurry.

After all, someone is too fierce.

Now that someone has consumed some of the energy for her, it will be much easier for her to take over later.

There is no need to suffer from 'acute gastroenteritis'!

After finishing filming at night, Du Sheng returned to the hotel room and saw Jia Jingwen, who was in good condition, and asked:
"You haven't eaten yet?"

“Attended some pasta in the hotel restaurant.”

As she spoke, Jia Jingwen said pitifully:

"Can we take a break tonight?"

"of course can."

Du Sheng smiled warmly:

"It's really too much for one person."

Jia Jingwen's face turned even redder:
"It's not forced, it feels good, but I haven't fully adapted to the new style of sparring last night!"

Du Sheng smiled. He knew that Jia Jingwen needed time to adapt to this new way.

He walked over and patted her shoulder gently:

"Don't worry, this new method will take time to adjust."

"But."

Jia Jingwen raised her head, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes:
"I'm afraid it will affect the progress of the filming."

"Will not."

Du Sheng comforted:
“Your current state is the most important.

After returning to the mainland, you can communicate more with Liu Tao, Yuan Yuan and others. I guarantee that you will make great progress! "

"really?"

Jia Jingwen's pupils instantly lit up like stars. She suddenly wrapped her arms around Du Sheng's waist, with a hint of cunning in her eyes:
"Then we must continue with last night's teaching method. This kind of magic that can turn stone into gold cannot be partial to only granting it to others!"

Many people in the circle know that Du Sheng is famous for his unique way of leading a show.

Especially several beautiful actresses, whose acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds under Du Sheng's guidance.

The most striking example is Gao Yuanyuan.

She was once regarded as a "vase", but with her outstanding performance in the work directed by Du Sheng, she won the Best Actress Award at the East Asia International Film Festival.

Jia Jingwen knew very well that this was a rare learning opportunity.

It is being verified through action at this moment!

When she was tied to the iron chair, her trembling fingertips made a tiny scratching sound on the rust, and her chest rose and fell with her breathing, as if there was really a cold rope tightening on her skin.

This crying scene is particularly moving. She adjusted her vocal cords to produce a hoarse cry, and her nasal voice was filled with the fear of being abused by the dark boss.
Even Du Sheng had to admit that she was even more frightening at this moment than the waves in last night's rainstorm.

By the next day of filming, she seemed like a completely different person.

When the plot progressed to the scene where the character she played was kidnapped by gangsters and became hostage, she was seen trembling all over, with fear and helplessness in her eyes.

The voice was tearful and slightly hoarse from excessive tension, perfectly matching the desperate atmosphere of being kidnapped, as if she was really in that horrific scene between life and death.

In the next scene, she will be brutally murdered by Hei Qian, her genitals removed, and her body hidden in the trunk.

This also became the fuse for the protagonist's revenge.

The staff present, whether they were cameramen, lighting technicians or stage staff, could not help but be attracted by her performance.

Although "The Man from Nowhere" is positioned as a commercial film, it does not require the actors to have top-notch acting skills.

But Jia Jingwen's outstanding and tragic performance undoubtedly added a lot of brilliance to the film.

Everyone knows that in the acting industry, it all comes down to acting skills.

Before, some people might have simply thought that Jia Jingwen was pretty and only suitable for the small screen, but it was Du Sheng who went against all odds and chose her into the crew.

But now, after seeing her performance, everyone is convinced.

As a result, the attitude became much more polite.

Jia Jingwen also clearly felt this change, which made her feel as sweet as eating honey and made her more motivated to film.

"Sister Jingwen, your voice is so hoarse, are you suffering from heatstroke?"

After the scene was finished, her 'daughter' Liu Yifei handed over a wet wipe:

"The July sun in this Bay City is like a red-hot iron plate. Three of the extras fainted from the heat."

One of the biggest difficulties in filming in Bay City is the weather.

It is a very hot day in Bay City now. The lowest outdoor temperature during the day is 33 degrees. Even with the air conditioner on at night it still feels stuffy. However, the plot of the movie is autumn and winter, so everyone has to wear thick clothes when filming.

It’s impossible to say it wasn’t hot, many actors fainted from the heat.

Liu Yifei's concern was wrapped in honey, and there was a bit of inexplicable envy in her words.

"Last night, Sister Jingwen screamed so hard that I even doubted whether my cousin was really teaching her acting skills. It turns out that I was overthinking..."
