Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself?
Chapter 645 A Gathering of Experts
Chapter 645 A Gathering of Experts
Tonglu.
Xinghuo Hotel.
Li Qin didn't wake up until it was fully light.
He yawned loudly.
She tensed all her muscles, even her toes, and felt an intense soreness as she released the tension.
I picked up my phone; there were several unread text messages.
Family members and agents.
and also
"It's been a few days since we wrapped up filming this TV series, and I'm still a bit out of it. I've been sleeping in at home a lot lately. Ah Qin, how's filming going?"
"If it's convenient."
"Can I come visit you on set?"
Looking at the text message Yang Yang sent on the screen, Li Qin suddenly hesitated.
A while has passed.
She quickly started pressing the keys on her phone.
"I've been busy lately."
After a pause, Li Qin quickly deleted the three words she had just said: "The production team has a very tight schedule right now, and the ladies are all focused on filming. Let's talk about it when there's a chance!"
The text message has been sent.
She casually tossed the phone aside.
Thinking of the handsome boy on the other end of the phone, Li Qin silently pursed her lips.
It would be impossible for me to say that I didn't have a good impression of Yang Yang before. During the filming of Dream of the Red Chamber, I even went out for a walk in the middle of the night. I was accidentally photographed by reporters and was severely scolded by Sister Shao Hong.
But after that.
They never dared to do anything out of line again.
And now.
Li Qin shook her head vigorously, grabbed the remote control from the side and turned on the TV. It was rare that she didn't have any work scheduled for today, so she thought she might as well just lie in her room all day.
Watching TV and having some snacks can be quite pleasant.
The TV had just been turned on.
A burst of laughter came from inside.
The sound instantly cleared Li Qin's still somewhat dazed mind. She looked enviously at the rerun of the popular sitcom "iPartment" and at the actors who were about the same age as her.
Audience.
They burst out laughing.
Industry insiders, on the other hand, were green with envy.
Everyone knows that this sitcom, which aired on Hunan TV's Golden Eagle Theater, achieved a rating of 3.857 in its finale, although it couldn't compare to Luo Ge's terrifyingly high rating of over 5%.
But for a newcomer, this result is simply a dream start.
Next.
It's absolutely a rerun and a rerun.
The main characters will come into the public eye as the TV series is rebroadcast. What surprised her was that not only the actors, but also the production team behind the scenes were completely unfamiliar to her.
The producer and executive producer were names I had never seen before.
I don't know which company it is.
How incredibly lucky!
"Dong dong."
Just as she was lost in thought, there was a hurried knock on the door: "Xiao Qin, are you awake yet?"
"Sister Xiaochen?"
Li Qin turned down the TV volume.
"Hey~"
Wang Xiaochen's voice came through the door, tinged with excitement: "We're planning to go to the Ip Man movie set to watch Brother Luo film. Do you want to come along?"
"Brother Luo?"
Li Qin quickly sat up and asked, puzzled, "Isn't he in America?"
"He came back last night!"
"I heard that they're filming an action scene today. Jiang Xin, Reyizha, and I are all planning to go check it out. If you're interested, we can all come together. Hurry up, we'll be leaving in ten minutes."
There was another knock on the door.
The footsteps fade away.
"Luo Ge."
Li Qin muttered to herself and subconsciously pulled off the air conditioning blanket covering her.
A gentle breeze was blowing.
Blow away the last bit of warmth that was trapped under the blanket.
The air from the air conditioner brushed against her fair and delicate legs, making her messy hot pants even cooler. A pure and charming young woman appeared in the dressing mirror in the corner.
A fair and tender waist.
Even the camisole nightgown was reflected in the mirror.
The graceful curve that can be grasped in one hand is breathtaking.
He quickly walked into the bathroom.
Wash quickly.
Her face was as delicate as a lotus emerging from water, requiring only a splash of water to wash it, yet Li Qin still busied herself with applying light makeup and putting on white sneakers and casual pants.
I picked out another T-shirt and put it on.
In just a few minutes, the charming young woman transformed into a pure and energetic college girl.
"Uh"
Looking at the person in the mirror.
Li Qin's face couldn't help but blush slightly.
What are you thinking!
It's simply a matter of whether or not I should dress up so elaborately just to watch Brother Luo filming.
It's as if it's...
"Little Qin".
Shouts came from outside the door.
"Hey~"
Hastily grabbing her handbag from the table, Li Qin turned off the air conditioner and quickly went to the corridor.
Wow~~~
I consider myself to be quite low-key.
Wang Xiaochen, Jiang Xin, and Reyizha, who were waiting for her in the corridor, all looked like they were without makeup, but she could tell at a glance that they had all dressed up carefully, especially Reyizha.
The cool black tank top bulged out.
She showed off her great figure.
Composing herself, Li Qin quickly embraced her sisters warmly.
After more than three months of intensive training and filming, the friendship among the main actresses in the crew has grown rapidly. Everyone is moving towards the same goal, and there is absolutely no backstabbing or infighting.
Several years or more than a decade later.
Perhaps relationships will change as everyone's circumstances differ.
But at least the actresses who are scheming against each other on screen are a close group of best friends off-screen.
Amidst the chattering.
The four of them excitedly stepped into the elevator.
When we arrived at the parking lot, the hotel driver was already there.
In the midst of the whistling.
The group headed to the Xinghuo Film and Television Base.
Vie City.
The September sun was still scorching.
The extras and crew members mostly hid in the shade, waiting for the script supervisor to notify them to enter the set.
Just when I was feeling utterly bored.
The sound of hurried footsteps drew their attention.
Take a closer look.
His eyes lit up instantly.
Four stunningly beautiful women, dressed in their finest attire, walked briskly over, chatting and laughing. Each of them had a face that was more innocent and pretty than the last, and a figure that was better than the last, making it hard to look away.
"Wow?"
"When did the production team find such beautiful actresses? I've never seen them before. Are they extras?"
"How could he possibly be an extra!"
"Zhen Huan."
"Luo Ge's other drama was filmed in the Zhen Huan City next door. You guys haven't been there. It's almost like the Kingdom of Women. Even the actresses playing maids are all incredibly beautiful."
"Many promising actresses from Hengdian have come here!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"Hey, do you think Hengdian will cause trouble for Brother Luo if he does this?"
"How could you even think of that? We're almost a hundred kilometers apart. No matter how domineering Hengdian is, it can't control Tonglu. Besides, you think this is poaching, but isn't it actually supplementing Hengdian?"
"That's right, win-win situations actually outweigh competition."
"Her breasts are so big."
"Hey, I think so too."
"Really? Or not?"
"Based on my seven or eight years of experience in the martial arts world, the curvature and the trembling sensation are absolutely real."
"Rat, I remember you were still a virgin."
"puff!!!"
The discussion veered off course completely in an instant, only to end with a low chuckle.
I glanced at the staff.
Reyizha didn't care about the strange looks at all and continued to walk forward with her head held high. As a former Ruili model, she was used to such stares, and she really didn't care.
It's not because I'm open-minded.
Rather, it's because her personality is inherently somewhat independent and self-willed.
So even though Reyizha knew that Luo Ge and Yang Mi had a close relationship, and that she was also good friends with Yang Mi, she never mentioned this in the crew to seek advantages.
That's exactly what I valued about him.
Zheng Xiaolong cast her as Ye Lanyi, a character who is aloof, arrogant, and somewhat cool.
Several people stepped forward.
Soon we arrived at a quaint, old-fashioned building.
There are even more extras here.
Moreover, they were all young and strong men, most of whom were wearing black trousers and white short-sleeved shirts with the words "Hung Kuen Hung Chun-nam," "Jun Ting Martial Arts School," and "Cheng Li-wei Martial Arts School" printed on their clothes.
At first glance.
There were at least forty or fifty extras waiting outside.
Such a spectacle made the girls even more excited. They exchanged glances and quickly walked into the rather large Western-style building by the roadside. The scene inside soon left them speechless.
An exquisite birdcage hangs in mid-air.
Behind the counter.
Various styles of ceramic jars and wine bottles are displayed, and the labels and names affixed to them have a strong sense of antiquity.
Those traditional Chinese characters looked so fresh and new.
Above the counter, a plaque bearing the four characters "De Nan Tea House" hangs prominently.
The menu is posted on the wall.
Calligraphy and paintings.
There are specific rules for everything.
Even the wall lights are the same style as those from decades ago.
Avoid crowds.
They quickly looked to the other side.
In the center of the large tea room stood a huge round wooden table, surrounded by upside-down wooden benches.
Around the central table, tea tables are arranged in rows.
On the table.
Tea sets and various fruits and snacks were placed there.
The scene was completely baffling to them. Was it some kind of negotiation scene from a classic Hong Kong movie? But what were those upside-down wooden benches for? They were clearly not meant for people to sit on.
The scene left them completely bewildered.
But the commotion inside made the four young and beautiful girls' eyes light up.
The vast majority of actors hope to have the opportunity to appear on the big screen; it's an aspiration ingrained in their very being.
And right before their eyes.
It is currently considered one of the top film production teams in China.
The interior space was bustling with noise, with photographers gesturing for their desired camera positions and lighting technicians trying to brighten the room.
Renowned director Yip Wai-shun gestured excitedly, indicating to the staff where the camera track would be installed.
A legendary filmmaker from Hong Kong Island.
Huang Baiming.
The same thing appeared in their eyes.
Standing next to him was another legendary figure from Hong Kong cinema. The big brother, Hung Kam-po, wearing a protective waist belt, was loudly explaining various martial arts moves.
Their gazes quickly fixed on His Majesty the Emperor, who was listening intently.
Next to Luo Ge.
There stood a short, stocky fellow.
The two listened while gesturing with their hands and feet.
Do not understand.
But it also feels very impressive.
The biggest regret is that Hung Kam-po speaks Cantonese fluently. Even though they learned a few phrases from Ada Choi and Mandy Sheh while filming, they still couldn't understand what the big brother was saying.
"Hey."
Just as the group was excitedly looking around...
In a corner not far away, someone stood up and waved to them repeatedly.
"Chen Xiao." Jiang Xin was the first to notice the commotion and quickly called her sisters over. They greeted Chen Xiao happily and then carefully sat down on the small stools.
"Be careful."
Noticing that they were all looking at Brother Luo, Chen Xiao quickly lowered his hand: "Don't talk to Brother Luo. We can't interfere with the crew's preparations."
"The boss has a very fiery temper."
"Just now, an extra tried to get Luo Ge's attention, and almost got yelled at by Director Hong until he cried!"
Hear this.
The girls nodded like chicks pecking at rice.
Although the person is still the same, the production crew is no longer the same.
Especially since each film crew has a different way of doing things, even without Chen Xiao's reminder, they knew they couldn't greet Li Luo in a loud and casual manner, so they just watched quietly and with a sense of novelty.
at the same time.
In another corner of the film set.
Noticing the pretty girl walking into the film set, the tall, thin guy who was sitting loosely in the chair quickly straightened his posture and even tidied his messy hair in front of the glass next to him.
Make sure your hairstyle is okay.
This guy turned around and looked at Wang Xiaochen and Reyi with a serious expression, and of course Jiang Xin and Li Qin didn't miss it either.
Those small eyes.
It's so beautiful it's almost dazzling.
"it is good."
Hong Jinbao clapped his hands loudly and waved to the round wooden table in the middle, saying, "No matter how much I talk, it's not as good as going up and practicing. You two can adjust yourselves as you practice!"
"The requirement for today is simple: you two just need to finish this match."
"Don't worry."
"The wooden benches around here are made of foam, so even if you fall on them, they won't hurt you. This table has also been specially reinforced, so it's impossible to break it under normal circumstances."
"It looks wobbly, but it won't easily lose its balance."
"no problem."
Li Luo nodded, smiled, and extended his hand: "Master Luo, please go easy on me later."
"Nothing to say."
Luo Mang firmly grasped his hand and said with a smile, "I know you've had your share of late-night snacks, Brother Luo. As the saying goes, youth has an advantage in boxing, so you must save some strength for later."
Back in China.
The first scene is the battle to establish the institution.
After filming the kissing scene with Taylor Swift, Li Luo immediately took a plane back from Los Angeles. Stuntmen such as Hong Jinbao also rushed over from Hengdian, Hong Kong Island and other places to film the next action scenes.
Part One.
The action scenes were exceptionally well done.
So, if the second installment wants to be innovative and even more entertaining, it will have to put in a lot more effort.
In order to achieve this goal.
Hung Kin-po, the action director, didn't hesitate to use exaggerated gestures and maneuvering.
Not only did he personally take charge, but he also invited veteran action stars and well-known stuntmen from Hong Kong Island.
Like the one in front of us.
Not only in the movies is he called Master Luo.
That person does indeed share the surname Luo.
Moreover, he truly possesses genuine martial arts skills. When he was young, Luo Mang apprenticed under the bodyguard of Chen Jitang, a bigwig in the Guangdong Army, and practiced martial arts from childhood, becoming proficient in drumming, lion dancing, and many other skills.
His specialty is the Zhu Family Mantis Boxing.
She started acting very early.
Luo Mang was already a well-known action star at Shaw Brothers in the 1970s and 80s.
However, what later generations are more familiar with is the character of Master Luo in the Ip Man film series.
Master Zheng is no ordinary person either.
She started acting as a child star in the 1950s and 60s.
The other party is also a well-known action actor and action director with excellent skills. He has worked for both the Lau Clan and Jackie Chan's Stunt Team, two famous martial arts teams, and was a professional villain in Hong Kong films in the early years.
In Stephen Chow's movie "Kung Fu Hustle", Master Cheng played the role of Di Que.
The film "Ip Man 2" features more than just these two actors; it also includes actors such as Hung Kam-po, Fan Siu-huang, and Shih Hsiao-lung.
The Ip Man film crew.
It can be described as a gathering place for kung fu masters from all walks of life.
Politely releasing his grip, Li Luo casually stepped over the upside-down bench on the ground. Besides these foam toys, there were also real ones for Master Luo to use when he leaped onto the stage.
In addition, several benches were sawed so that they could be easily broken with a single step.
Their uses are different.
That's used to showcase power and impact.
After all, when an actor falls off a table, it's impossible for them to actually break several chairs; that would be fatal, not just acting.
I want the film to be good.
We must put in the effort in all the unseen details.
To the bewildered gazes of Li Qin, Jiang Xin, and the others, Li Luo leaped directly onto the round table.
"Hey~"
I noticed a few girls.
He waved with a bright smile, gesturing for them to sit down, and then started twirling and bouncing around on the wooden table, his feet making a loud thud on the large round table.
They responded quickly.
The girls looked at his action with confusion.
I never expected the fight to start on the table, and I was even more confused about why he was jumping around like that.
next moment.
Luo Mang also leaped onto the table.
Luo Ge jumped around energetically up there.
The two people's actions left them speechless, but most of the crew remained calm.
"Hi~"
A greeting sounded.
The tall, thin man strolled towards them, extending his hand to Chen Xiao with a rather gentlemanly smile: "Actually, they are getting used to the filming location, which greatly reduces the risk of injury."
"Hello."
"And hello to all the beautiful ladies."
"My name is Hong Tianming, and I'm very happy to meet you all here!"
Just started.
Some of the people present were still somewhat bewildered.
Upon hearing the surname Hong, Li Qin and Reyizha immediately stood up and looked nervously at this very polite and well-mannered fellow.
They're not stupid.
At this age, and with this surname still appearing in this place, some things are obvious even to a fool.
"Hahaha."
Hong Tianming laughed heartily and shook hands with the girls briefly: "Actually, there's no need to be so polite. We're all Li Luo's friends. You're probably not familiar with action movies, right?"
In a few words.
He found a seat nearby and casually introduced the preparations on site.
Don't find it strange.
"Actually, you are all actors, right? You should know that the finished product after editing is completely different from the situation during filming. Unlike ordinary performances, action actors also need to rehearse and practice fighting."
"Where to stand, in which direction to punch, and how to coordinate with each other all require careful consideration."
"Rehearsals must be carried out properly."
"Keep your head clear."
"Many actions are performed in the blink of an eye. Although action actors will hold back their strength, if they are stunned, they may end up taking someone's punch in the face."
"Or, if you're not careful, you could easily end up in the hospital."
In Hong Tianming's explanation.
The actors, who had never filmed action scenes before, nodded repeatedly, and felt enlightened watching Brother Luo's movements.
He chuckled to himself.
Hung Tin-ming constantly flaunted his knowledge.
Try to make a good impression on the girl before Li Luo introduces her.
He couldn't help but look around at the surroundings, recalling the appearance of the Xinghuo Hotel and the film and television base, and cursed inwardly, thinking that if he had known that Li Luo would have such a grand entourage here.
I ran over here a long time ago.
Why suffer in Hengdian with the old man?
Live in a big villa.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to eat lobster again?
Sheren Tang is a jerk who only has male friends and no female friends. She doesn't even introduce herself to any of the many beautiful actresses in the crew.
Ok.
Li Luo is a bastard too.
None of them are good people.
Thinking back to the days he spent accompanying the old man in Hengdian filming "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame," and the arduous work of crawling into underground caves day and night, Hong Tianming felt like crying.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"Tie."
"Master Luo kicked out, and A Luo dodged to the side, then stabbed Master Luo in the thigh."
"Take advantage of the situation."
"Master Luo will take off into the air in a moment."
"Where to hit?"
"How about I give him a whip kick to the head? I'll protect my ear with my left hand and knock Master Luo down with my right."
"Yes, yes."
To truly film good action scenes, it's not just about positioning and teamwork; often, it requires discussing and figuring out the best way to present the action in a more exciting way while filming.
The requirements for action choreographers are high, and the requirements for action actors are equally high.
This is a job that not just anyone can do.
Li Qin quickly ignored Hong Tianming's voice and focused intently on Luo Ge, who was moving around on the round table, watching him and another actor exchange blows.
He was hit by a punch in the blink of an eye.
It hurts to look at it.
Even so, Luo Ge simply waved his hand and continued with the rehearsal and sparring.
So focused and manly.
Li Qin's eyes sparkled a little as she looked at it.
Our Consort Hua and Wang Xiaochen didn't think about anything; they just watched Luo Ge's dashing figure with smiles on their faces.
Reyizha crossed her arms over her chest.
He carefully observed the various fighting techniques.
Soon, she and Chen Xiao realized with their helplessness that while it was no problem to learn the basics, there was no way she could develop a deep understanding of the field. The only thing she could do was to learn as much as possible.
To make the fighting poses look better when filming the corresponding scenes.
That's the kind of solid, hard-hitting skill.
Don't even think about it without years of practice.
The shouts and cheers continued on set.
Before they knew it, half an hour had passed in rehearsals. Seeing Luo Mang panting heavily, Hong Jinbao had no choice but to wave for everyone to take a break.
no way.
Luo Mang was, after all, already over fifty years old.
Li Luo's physique.
Even he himself couldn't handle it.
"Hey."
Li Luo jumped off the table, took the bottled water Liu Wan handed him, and strode towards the actresses: "Don't you have any schedules today? Why don't you sleep in a little longer at the hotel?"
"No."
"I came to watch Brother Luo filming."
"Brother Luo, you played really well just now."
"Learn something."
The girls gave him high-fives one after another, and everyone quickly made room for him.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hong Tianming subtly nudged Li Luo and winked at Wang Xiaochen, who was shifting positions. He really liked this girl; she was fair-skinned and had an incredibly energetic smile.
I glanced at him.
Li Luo calmly unscrewed the bottle cap.
Damn it.
Hung Tin-ming nearly jumped up in anger.
The girl named Li Qin was extremely pure and beautiful, and the girl with ethnic minority charm had such a hot figure. Given this guy's lecherous nature, he definitely wouldn't miss her.
He's falling flat on his face!
There are already three here.
Damn it, entertainment reporters all claim to be playboys.
冤!
That's so damn unfair!!!
Without the slightest hesitation, Hong Tianming immediately curled his lips at Jiang Xin, who was sitting next to him.
Nothing.
This girl is beautiful too.
Hung Tin-ming wouldn't mind being friends with her.
Li Luo slapped the guy's shoulder with a whistle and whispered with a smile in Hong Jiahao's ear: "Are you tired of living? How dare you make a move on your sister-in-law? Be careful, or I'll kick you into the Fuchun River."
Hong Tianming turned his head in a daze.
A look of shock swept across the beautiful faces of Jiang Xin, Li Qin, Wang Xiaochen, and Reyizha.
