1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 359 Are you still kissing each other?
On the other side, Xia Tian drove Lan Jieying downstairs, then said goodbye and left.

Lan Jieying smiled and said, "Don't you want to see if my home is safe?"

Xia Tian smiled, waved his hand, and drove away - it wasn't like they were filming a movie!
When he returned to Arong's house, he bought some vegetables and cooked a few dishes with Brother Yong. Arong also came back.

He has been preparing for a concert recently - he plans to retire from the entertainment industry and then hold a series of concert tours.

"Wow~ I smell such a nice smell as soon as I enter the door! How was the filming? Was it going smoothly? Did the director scold anyone?" he asked.

“It went very smoothly. The director and crew members were very polite.”

Xia Tian also discussed the guest appearance issue between him and Mei Gu and the others. They should let them know in advance when they are free. After all, it is free, but they can come up with their own time.

The next day there was another fight scene, or rather, there was a fight scene in almost every scene, but there were very few literary scenes.

Summer is relaxing and beautiful!

Why do many actors look so ugly when filming fighting scenes, for example, moving left and right.

Because they don't have the basic skills and don't know how to fight, it's awkward when they fight. People with a background in martial arts and dance have an advantage in this regard!
Regarding the script, Xia Tian talked with Gordon Chan many times. Except that the background of the male protagonist was not explicitly stated as Haizi's bodyguard, the background of the female protagonist was changed to the daughter of a wealthy businessman.

Gordon Chan originally wanted the hero and heroine to be together in the end. After all, it is very reasonable for a beautiful woman to love a hero!
But Xia Tian still persuaded him: "What you can't get is the best. It's better to blur the final result and leave an open-ended result for the audience to guess for themselves."

Besides, it is really unethical for a bodyguard to have a relationship with his employer's daughter.

This is also one of the protagonist's character settings, and the source of the emotional entanglement between the male and female protagonists.

Although Xia Tian added some cool writing tropes to the script, the movie can’t really be made into “The Rich Lady’s Bodyguard”!

Isn't it also true that the author of "The Master of Jokes" is still a virgin for millions of words~
Besides, the heroine is a tsundere young lady in the early stage, and becomes infatuated and dares to love and hate in the later stage, as well as the ambiguous feelings of the ascetic hero, which is also one of the highlights!
If it's too smooth and too clear, then there's no point. You have to learn how to "trade stocks"~
……

"Brother Tianer, have some water!" Chang Wei, who was standing by, saw that this part was over and quickly ran over to hand Xia Tian a bottle of water.

"thank you."

It wasn't his turn yet, but he arrived at the crew early to help.

He is two years younger than Xia Tian, ​​and is from an island. He has 13 brothers and sisters in his family, so he has suffered a lot!

His father died when he was young, and he started to make a living at the age of six. He learned carving and bread making. At the age of 12, he joined a martial arts group as a stuntman and a stunt double. He also taught himself Taekwondo and Muay Thai...

At the age of 18, he joined the Hong Clan Class, became a disciple of Hong Jinbao, and starred in the movie "Full Rebound" directed by Hong Jinbao.

Unfortunately, his fame depends on promotion, but his success depends on luck. Although he has played the leading actor, he has always been tepid.

It can be said that: No one cared about him for ten years while he was filming, but his words of strength are still passed down to this day.

Because Xia Tian has been really popular recently and is still good at fighting, and his master has also instructed him to do so, so he is very polite to Xia Tian and calls him Brother Tian'er.

Speaking of which, the "er" sound in the language used in Hong Kong is only heard when these people call Xia Tian.

Xia Tian taught me all of this! It's going to become my own name!
There are too many fighting scenes between the two of them, so practice the moves whenever you have time.

It’s noon soon, time for lunch.

A fat man with small eyes came over and said, "Brother Tian'er, these four portions are yours! I specifically told you not to order anything too sweet!"

"Thank you, Feixue!" Xia Tian thanked.

When I was setting the table for dinner yesterday, Xia Tian felt that he looked familiar.

When asked, the other party was quite surprised: "Brother Tian'er, my name is Lin Xue, you can just call me Fei Xue!"

He speaks Mandarin with a hint of Tianjin accent!

Fei Xue’s grandfather is an overseas Chinese from Indonesia, and both her grandfather and father are senior engineers over there.

I originally lived in a small Western-style house in Tianjin, but during the movement I fled to Hong Kong, where I became a member of the lower class and suffered all kinds of hardships.

In one of Johnnie To's movies "Black and White", there is a plot where a man is forced to eat with a spoon, which is said to be the real experience of Lam Suet.

He was brought up by Lin Zhengying - it is said that he had a conflict with the younger brothers of the Hong Clan in the billiard hall.

Later, Lin Zhengying gave him some advice, and he followed Lin Zhengying into the circle.

Now he is not considered an actor, he is mainly responsible for some logistics.

For example, he is responsible for most of the crew's boxed lunches, and can be described as the logistics butler. He is known as the "King of Boxed Lunch"!
He is a man with a strong personality and a clear distinction between what he likes and dislikes.

It is said that once, Fei Xue was dissatisfied with Lou Nanguang, also known as Captain A Wei, for being a big shot. Lou Nanguang said he wanted to eat pork with preserved vegetables, and Fei Xue cursed him directly: There is no pork with preserved vegetables, eat shit!
Later this passage was written into Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy", in which Uncle Tat scolded Stephen Chow.

In 86, he met Johnnie To and was arranged to play a minor role in "Dark Flower" with no lines.

His first well-known guest role was in the 92 film "Li Wang".

Well, it’s the prison warden who transformed into the devil muscle man - his body was covered with glue and stained with pork, and the meat even stank in the hot weather. You can imagine how difficult it was!

Xia Tian didn't expect to meet a fellow villager here, so he chatted with him for a while longer.

He was even given a minor role in the drama - a killer disguised as a cleaner in a shopping mall, who pulled a gun out of a bucket and was shot to death by the protagonist!

Also killed were the killers Ah Rong, Ah Qiang, and the killer Mei Gu who disguised herself as a pregnant woman.
They were all killed by summer!

They will come over when Anita Mui is free in a few days and shoot that segment in one day.

Unexpectedly, during the afternoon filming, a man suddenly showed up—Lin Zhengying! Uncle Nine!

"Fatty asked me to come here to help?" he said to Yuen Kwai and Yuen Biao.

He himself was a little confused. He was asked to help but didn't say what kind of help he was helping with. He was very mysterious.

Yuan Kui and Yuan Biao looked at each other. It seems that the eldest brother is still not convinced.
Xia Tian got to know Lin Zhengying enthusiastically, which made the shy Lin Zhengying feel quite embarrassed.

Actually, he's out of fashion.

A few years ago, when zombie movies were at their peak, he was still pretty good.

But in the past two years, because there have been too many followers and audiences have become aesthetically fatigued, the box office of this type of film has been getting worse and worse.

Following the trend is a common problem in Hong Kong films.

After Bruce Lee's death, there was a fever for fake Bruce Lee; after the success of Tsui Hark's version of "Once Upon a Time in China", everyone followed suit and filmed "Once Upon a Time in China"; after Wong Jing's "God of Gamblers" achieved great success this year, a large number of gambling films have emerged on the market.

Last year, he directed for the first time and filmed "The Taoist with One Eyebrow", wanting to try a "combination of Chinese and Western" style. Could the battle between the Maoshan Taoist priest and the vampires bring new life to the ghost film?

As a result, the filming took a year, and the staff had to work more than 8 hours a day!
In order to shoot the scene of taming the banana ghost at the beginning, a lot of banana trees were needed. However, they were unable to buy them from farmers at the time, so the crew had to grow the trees themselves.

This energy is a bit like Lao Mouzi, who also hired someone to plant a large piece of sorghum field, but he almost got cheated~
"The Taoist Priest" was just completed a few days ago and was criticized by many people.

The movie is going to be released next month, and he is really panicking now.

It was because he had nothing to do that he was sent by Hong Jinbao, who said he was going to help Yuen Biao and Yuen Kui.

Now that you are here, don't just sit there. See if there are any minor roles that have not been decided yet - it's you, the instructor of the protagonist Xia Zhengyang.

The original time and space is the Golden Gunner, but hasn't he been found yet? So let's just say Uncle Nine!

Yuen Biao: I asked Jiu to help, but he was drafted as soon as he showed up!

However, since this movie has a lot of fighting scenes, it would be nice to have a few more people to help so that the progress can be faster.

In fact, Uncle Jiu also studied Peking Opera and learned from Wudan Fen Juhua, who was also Zun Long’s teacher.

Back then, he was an extra in the crew of "Fist of Fury". Because of his good kung fu skills and his ability to cooperate well with Bruce Lee, he won Bruce Lee's trust and became his personal martial arts instructor.

If Bruce Lee hadn't passed away suddenly, his development would have been very good now.

As a result, his career is lukewarm now, he is divorced and has two kids!
...When filming the gun battle, Xia Tian showed them his skills - extremely standard tactical moves, reloading and shooting, extremely smooth and beautiful.

Yuan Kui suddenly remembered the scene in the newspaper where the robber was killed, and asked for a clip of a one-handed kick to load the gun - holding the protected target in one hand and loading the gun with the other hand.

And Xia Tian also demonstrated the Mozambique shooting method of "two shots to the chest and one shot to the head".

"Two shots to the chest and one to the head. Even gods would shake their heads when seeing this. This is the Mozambique shooting method, designed to make the enemy lose resistance quickly in the complex environment of short-distance street fighting..."

Yuen Biao and the others looked at Xia Tian in confusion: Could it be that you really have some military background?!
The movie is very attentive to details. Even the three-edged military bayonet in the movie is engraved with the words "Protect the Home and Defend the Country", and the "家" on it is a simplified Chinese character!
Xia Tian also talked with Yuen Kwai, Yuen Biao and Uncle Nine about how in the movie he was stabbed with a bayonet, shot twice, and even had a brawl with Chang Wei. Did they think it was a bit too fake?
But I was finally convinced by them. After all, movies are fictional art, and it would not be good if they were made too realistic.

Right!

As for the plot, it has also advanced to the middle stage.

——First, we shot a lot of Xia Tian’s monologues, then some of Lan Jieying’s monologues, and then the male and female protagonists met. The main plots all took place in a villa.

Well, I rented it. I rented an unused villa from her friend through Holly's connections for the filming.

This made Hong Jinbao envious. He even asked the landlord several times, saying that he wanted to thank him in person - he just wanted to get to know him!

At the beginning, the heroine’s character was a proud and arrogant rich girl, and Lan Jieying played the role very well.

She has a naturally cool temperament, with bright eyes and a radiant look, and coupled with her natural beauty, her acting was very natural.

That was the time when Xia Tian was particularly "into the role", and it was difficult for her to get out of it.

Just the day before yesterday, A Rong and his team came to make a guest appearance, and they filmed a big scene - a gun fight in a shopping mall.

Fortunately, although there are quite a few people, compared with the grand scenes in inland film and television dramas, these few people are nothing.

This did allow Yuen Biao and the others to see that Xia Tian was very experienced in manpower scheduling - compared to the crew of dozens of people in Hong Kong, the big scenes in the inland were really big scenes.

Xia Tian also breathed a sigh of relief and shot Mei Gu, A Rong, A Qiang, Fei Xue and others one by one!

Aunt Mei was still complaining: "Can't you let me fight you a few times? I haven't died so quickly in the movies!"

As the plot progresses, the protagonist remains the same, remaining a very serious and abstinent person.

The heroine's feelings slowly begin to change, from being a bit annoying and arrogant to being affectionate...

Screenwriter Gordon Chan also added a scene where the heroine plays music, which is "Don't Ask Me What Disco Is" by Xia Tian. Then, as the male protagonist, Xia Tian mutters, "What a loud song~"

It's like you are blackmailing yourself.

Later on, the male protagonist also develops feelings for the female protagonist, but he has to restrain himself so that the audience can see it but the characters can't see it.

It is a test of Xia Tian’s performance.

First, Xia Tian was repairing the surveillance camera on a ladder on a rainy day, and then Lan Jieying climbed up to hold an umbrella for him and asked him for some news with a smart look in her eyes.

For example, what do your parents do?

Xia Tian’s heart: workers and literary and artistic workers.

For example, how are your grades in school?
Xia Tianxin: Third place in liberal arts in Yanjing College Entrance Examination, Xiao Xia is the third place~
For example, do you have a girlfriend?

Xia Tian thought: Yes, there are three!

However, in reality, Xia Tian would frown and say, "These are all confidential."

Feeling a bit schizophrenic!

Lan Jieying said coquettishly: "If I ask for secrets, are you going to put me in jail?"

Then he cunningly pretended to slip and almost fell off the ladder, but Xia Tian grabbed him by the waist and caught him.

……

The filming was going well and many scenes were shot in one take.

Xia Tian’s movements are so beautiful and standard, and those action scenes are very well done.

According to the custom in Hong Kong, there is no such thing as keeping one and moving on to the next one after it passes.

That speed is rattling!

Even when it comes to literary drama, Xia Tian is not afraid at all.

When the male protagonist transformed from a cold and abstinent bodyguard to a pure but restrained one, Yuen Kwai even told Yuen Biao that he was worried that it would be difficult to play Xia Tian well.

"The main thing is that I can tell from the guy that he is a seasoned lover. You see, during this period of time, he often makes the heroine laugh with just a few words. This guy is definitely a playboy!"

He held a cigarette in his mouth, which defined the summer!

Let you take over the director's job when you have nothing to do!
Yuen Biao nodded fiercely: "At first glance, he is a heartless man who will abandon you after having sex with you!"

The two of them laughed happily after talking.

Uncle Jiu sat aside without saying anything. He thought this handsome guy from the inland was a nice guy. He spoke well and was very respectful to him.

However, he was still worried about the upcoming release of "The Taoist Priest"!
But Xia Tian has a very accurate grasp of the changes in his emotions, and he is so innocent in front of the camera!

The two of them kept muttering behind their backs: "Not only is he a love veteran and a heartless man, he is also a love veteran and a heartless man with a very high level and who is very good at acting!"

But just when everything was going smoothly, the filming was both detailed and fast, with half of the filming completed in more than half a month, Uncle Jiu began to wonder if there was something wrong with his filming style.

Here comes the problem!

In this scene, Lan Jieying accidentally triggered the alarm she was carrying, and then Xia Tian immediately went to check it out and threw Lan Jieying away when she suddenly patted his shoulder.

Then he found out that it was the person he was protecting, and immediately took the blame himself.

This requires a wire suspension, after all, Xia Tian was the one who threw her out.

Lan Jieying didn't want to use a stunt double, and since it wasn't a difficult move, she just did it herself.

The problem is that this action requires the coordination of two people, and using their bodies as a cushion when falling down cannot be very precise.

There were some problems at the beginning, just take a few more shots.

As a result, Xia Tian's hand accidentally... Then the two of them were very embarrassed. After continuing to shoot, they couldn't hold it anymore.

Xia Tian was okay, as he was originally playing a character who suppressed his emotions and was awkward and shy.

But Lan Jieying's role has already been to "take the initiative" at this time.

But she couldn't attack at all, and now she didn't dare to look Xia Tian into her eyes!
There is a kissing scene in this scene!

As a result, they kissed twice just like two middle school students in premature love, and each of them was better at dodging than the other!
"Hey, Tian'erzi, if you lean back any further, you're going to fall! Are you still going to kiss each other?" Yuen Kwai shouted while holding up a loudspeaker.

Xia Tian and Lan Jieying separated quickly.

Yuan Kui was also wondering: Did I guess wrong? This guy has never been in a relationship? He is so handsome, it's impossible, right? !

Finally, Xia Tian suggested: "I'm not in good shape today, and it's getting late. Why don't we stop here first? I'll go back and adjust my shape..."

Yuan Kui: You've come to this day too?!
I originally wanted to give him a good beating, but then I remembered what Yuen Biao said, this guy is really good at fighting.

Uh... forget it, let’s stop here for today!
