Chapter 54 Night Shoot
The opening ceremony is over.

The front-stage, backstage and media staff all moved to the hotel.

After a short rest, the opening ceremony began.

No matter which circle you are in, there are some things that are difficult to avoid unless you reach a certain level. Of course, if you toast someone with a glass of wine but don't drink it yourself, that's another matter.

There were dozens of people in the banquet hall.

No matter how good your alcohol tolerance is, you will get drunk after having one drink with each person.

After the meal started.

Li Luo took the initiative decisively.

He toasted to the main table, then walked around the table of veteran actors, and then went to the news media to toast again. He also did not miss out on several familiar friends in the martial arts industry who were at the stunt desk.

The crew started filming and Yuan Bin brought all the old crew members over.

When old friends meet, they naturally say hello. After drinking a few glasses of wine with Du Yun, Lin Can and others, he got drunk.

With the help of the service staff, he staggered back to the room.

Vomited violently into the toilet.

Then I lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

late at night.

Feiteng Film and Television Base, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre film set.

Li Luo avoided several stagehands carrying lighting fixtures, and walked behind the monitor, playing with the iron judge's pen in his hand.

"That was a good scene just now."

Lai Shuiqing took a long puff of his cigarette and waved his hand, saying, "Take a break."

"Thank you, director."

The judge's pen made of wood painted black turned flexibly in Li Luo's hand, and he looked at the monitor intently.

A scene is being filmed intensively.

After the opening ceremony, the crew officially entered operation. He found that the working style of the new crew was completely different from the previous one. This was a brand new experience for Li Luo.

Zhang Zhongzhong is polished slowly, and sometimes the natural weather conditions are not ideal.

I would rather stop the crew.

You also have to take the picture you want.

Lai Shuiqing is a type of Hong Kong and Taiwan person who is quick-tempered and impetuous. If he cannot shoot during the day, he will shoot at night, keeping the crew working around the clock. He will never slow down the progress.

Eight hours a day is considered a holiday, and more than ten hours is the norm.

"The actors are in place."

"Via is ready."

"Turn it on."

Several big men pulled the wire together, and Guo Feili flew up while spinning on the table.

Landed neatly on the roof.

"it is good."

Lai Shuiqing grabbed the loudspeaker and shouted, "Feili, don't move. Take a close-up shot right away."

Under the starry sky.

Standing on the roof, Guo Feili made a gesture to indicate that everything was OK.

Under normal circumstances, the crew needs to follow the scene layout when filming, and will not shoot according to the timeline of the play, so as to save costs.

But Jia Jingwen needs to go and promote the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Guo Feili's schedule was limited, so she could only focus on filming the first few episodes in which she had scenes.

The scene now being filmed is the scene where Zhang Cuishan comes to Longmen Escort Agency and tries to investigate the mystery of Yu Daying's murder. However, he gets into a fight with two monks from Shaolin Temple and is rescued by Yin Susu.
Filming soon resumed.

Guo Feili made a few surprised expressions and then waved her arms.

Another one was completed in just a few minutes.

During post-production, we will create a special effect of silver needles flying out of her sleeves.

This was used to blind an old Shaolin monk.

Rescue Zhang Cuishan.

The wire was pulled again, and Guo Feili, wearing a red dress, slowly descended from the roof.

Regardless of whether they are professionals or not, today's actors basically put in some hard work and look good when suspended by wires, and rarely do they perform the extremely eye-catching light skills or flying postures that are performed later on.

"bring it on."

Du Yun yawned and patted Li Luo on the shoulder: "Go through the position again, be careful, don't hurt me."

Li Luo shook his head and smiled, turning the judge's pen and walking forward.

The rotten silver tiger-head hook can be performed according to the sword techniques, and the audience will not be able to tell anything anyway. However, the iron judge's pen is different, and it must be used according to the movements designed by Yuan Bin.

In order to master its use, he played with this 20-centimeter-long Judge's Pen whenever he had free time these days.

"Feili."

Looking at Yin Susu in red walking towards him, he smiled and greeted her:
"That wire move just now was pretty good."

"Thank you."

Guo Feili stretched her arms and smiled at Li Luo: "It's up to you now."

After a few days of cooperation, everyone became familiar with each other.

I have always been shooting literary dramas before.

Li Luo not only memorized the lines by heart, but also displayed Zhang Cuishan's scholarly spirit to the fullest, making Guo Feili, who was a little worried at first, really enjoy the play.

Now comes the opponent’s first fighting scene.

She was very curious about how Li Luo would perform. After all, Zhang Cuishan, dressed in a white robe, had a bit of scholarly air.

It doesn't look like it can fight.

While Guo Feili was full of curiosity, Li Luo followed Du Yun to the mourning hall setting of Longmen Escort Agency.

The night wind is bleak.

White banners were hung everywhere.

The innermost table was filled with tablets, and a large white cloth was hung on the wall.

The characters for "Dian" trembled in the wind, and the smoke floated in the air, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

However, that feeling quickly disappeared when I saw the staff hiding carefully in the corner and several actors wearing monk robes and holding staffs.

Looking at the two bald men, Li Luo's heart was in turmoil.

Thinking back to the time I spent with the little nun, it’s a pity that things and people have changed now.

That pretty little Yilin.

No contact anymore.

"You've come just in time." Yuan Bin was also in the mourning hall. He motioned Li Luo to come to the corresponding position.

"A-chan, poke him with your staff first."

"Li Luo, take a step back to the left."

Lin Can, who was wearing monk's robes, nodded and poked his staff forward in slow motion. Li Luo moved his feet flexibly to avoid the first attack.

"Ayun, sweep your legs here."

"Jump up, Li Luo."

"Three people turned together, switching positions with each other."

"Use the judge's pen first."

Yuan Bin kept talking. He took the pen from Li Luo and motioned to the old actor in monk's robes to come forward: "Here is a close-up shot, with the tip of the pen sweeping in front of his eyes."

"Back off again, out of the yard."

Li Luo and the martial artists came to the courtyard while demonstrating.

Under Yuan Bin’s continuous demonstration.

They repeated the action over and over again.

The two veteran actors who played the Shaolin monks were also listening nervously, remembering when they should appear and what postures they should strike, because if they really had to go on stage to fight, there would be no way they could do it.

But you still have to show your face from time to time, otherwise it looks too fake.

That's what acting is.

The literary scenes are easier, but the martial arts scenes have to be rehearsed repeatedly several times and doubles have to be used constantly.

After all, there are only a few actors who can fight.

"As expected of the Yuan family."

After walking around twice, Li Luo praised Yuan Bin a lot.

Based on your own understanding.

This paragraph is definitely going to look great when typed out.

It's not like the original Soviet version which looks extremely lively, but if you look closely you'll find it's full of spinning, jumping, and crazy camera switching, which makes the audience dizzy.

This creates an intense scene.

"You don't have to say that."

Yuan Bin's expression was very proud.

After the photography and lighting were in place, he naturally took over control of the scene.

Under the gaze of the crowd, he grabbed the loudspeaker and shouted:
"Action."

The startup sound sounded.

Avoiding the whistling staff, Li Luo casually pulled the judge's pen out of the package.

"Ha~"

Du Yun bent down and kicked out with a sweeping kick, sweeping up the powder that had been sprinkled on the ground in advance. His movements looked extremely sharp.

Li Luo leaped up and easily avoided the attack.

But it didn't have time to land.

The wooden staff came towards him with a strong wind.

Realizing that the rhythm was wrong, Lin Can quickly retracted his force, but still knocked Li Luo over in mid-air.

"Bang~"

This time, he fell hard.

Guo Feili and many staff members were so frightened that they stood up hurriedly and looked at Li Luo nervously, as if they would hear him cursing the next moment.

It's not like she hasn't experienced this before.

If a martial artist accidentally hits the leading actor, he will be severely scolded.

"Cut!"

Yuan Bin raised the horn as usual: "Remember to move, one more."

He knew that Li Luo was skilled in martial arts, so there was no need to worry too much. He also knew that this guy liked to fight himself and rarely used a stunt double. He was not the kind of actor who would cry at the slightest bump or bruise.

This is also the reason why he admires the other party so much.

Without waiting for Lin Can to extend his hand.

Li Luo then jumped up and stood up neatly.

"Nothing."

After bumping fists, he and Lin Can smiled at each other, as if they were back in the time when they were filming The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

When shooting a martial arts scene, a few bumps and bruises are nothing.

Guo Feili was so appreciative of the brilliant smile and positive attitude that she turned around and sat on the chair.

Lai Shuiqing also nodded with satisfaction.

He smoked a cigarette calmly.

"Action."

"One more."

"very good."

"Please try harder, did you miss your meal???"

Amid Yuan Bin's roars, the crew finished a day's filming.
