Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 110: Generals can leave their names here. Zhao Zilong of Changshan!!!

"Wei Hai, what's wrong with you? I asked you to go to the crew first, but you have been lying there for three days?"

"Master, I don't want to do that either. It's Chen Cheng..."

"You still have the nerve to say that, don't you think it's embarrassing enough?"

Crew.

Hong Jinbao, who came from Hong Kong, scolded Wei Hai: "I told you to keep a low profile when you came to the mainland. Now you are fine, you have met a master."

"Master, this kid is so tall."

"Yeah, it's not a big deal. You guys just lie here, I'm fine."

the other side.

Chen Cheng did not take this matter too seriously.

There are many such things in the crew.

If you care about everything, then when you are filming on the set for a period of time, you will be surrounded by enemies.

not to mention.

The revenge was taken and the anger was relieved.

Afterwards, everyone was at peace and a group of actors arrived one after another.

Andy Lau, Maggie Q, Pu Cunxin who plays Zhuge Liang, Andy On, and Sammo Hung who plays Luo Ping'an.

Correct.

Hong Jinbao is the martial arts instructor and also plays Zhao Zilong's elder brother Luo Pingan in the film.

The film Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon is not really a historical drama.

of course.

Li Rengang also had no intention of making this film into a historical drama.

The same as the previous communication with Chen Cheng.

Li Rengang wanted to use the Three Kingdoms as a base to create a story about a young hero.

The story is also very simple.

As a teenager, Zhao Zilong defected to his lord Liu Bei, and then met Luo Pingan, who was a small leader in the army.

Both of them are from Changshan and have a good relationship.

and.

Zhao Zilong also rescued Luo Pingan many times on the battlefield.

In the Battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Zilong single-handedly broke into Cao's camp and rescued A Dou. He became famous throughout the world and was named one of the Five Tiger Generals.

It's just that time passes.

The young hero Zhao Zilong of that year now has gray hair at the temples.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong, who were the Five Tiger Generals together with Zhao Zilong at the time, have also passed away.

Zhuge Liang once again led an expedition to the north, and Zhao Zilong, who refused to accept his age, insisted on being the vanguard.

But this time, it was also Zhao Zilong's last expedition.

The ending is very emotional.

Luo Ping'an was jealous of Zhao Zilong's gradual advancement toward becoming one of the Five Tiger Generals, so he sold the information to Cao's camp.

In the end, he was moved by Zhao Zilong and rescued him.

Zhao Zilong looked back on the past and couldn't help asking himself who he was fighting for.

Is it for yourself?

Or for this world?

No one can explain it clearly.

However, the plot is simple, but it is not easy to shoot.

For example, in the scene where the two armies faced off, more than 2,000 extras were used.

Once more than 2,000 extras were deployed in battle formation, the grand scene effect was created.

But this is only the beginning.

The grand scene of two armies fighting is not so easy to shoot.

However, for Hong Jinbao, who is a martial arts instructor, he is able to handle it with ease.

Especially the fight where Zhao Zilong, alone on horseback, killed Xiahou and took away the Qinggang sword... to save Adou among thousands of soldiers, is a classic.

Chen Cheng, who was watching from the side, also benefited a lot.

However, the filming of this drama was not so smooth.

Because it involves a lot of martial arts scenes, and it is a large-scale war scene.

So a lot of martial arts is needed.

Wei Hai and his team did a good job.

However, under Hong Jinbao's strict requirements, some movements still did not meet Hong Jinbao's standards.

For example, the scene where Andy On rides a horse and stabs someone with a gun.

This lens is quite difficult.

The first one has to be the fastest.

The second one had to jump onto the guardrail with both man and horse.

Third, you have to keep moving forward and kill the enemy soldier with one shot.

Although Deng Zhi, played by Andy On, is very brave, he also has a good physique.

But I still didn’t have enough experience in horse riding, and I failed to get this shot right no matter how many times I took it.

Later, Wei Hai had to be used as a substitute, but Wei Hai also failed to meet Hong Jinbao's requirements.

……

"Master, how about changing this move? It's too difficult."

Wei Hai suggested to Hong Jinbao.

Hong Jinbao snorted, "You can't do it, not because my design is difficult. If Jiale were here, he would definitely be able to complete it."

The Jiale that Hong Jinbao mentioned is Qian Jiale, who can be said to be the best martial artist in Hong Kong.

It is said that there is no action scene that he cannot perform.

If he can't do it, then there's something wrong with the martial arts direction design.

Hong Jinbao just said so, but he also knew that even if Qian Jiale was here, there would probably be problems.

no way.

I’m getting older, and I can’t do the movements I could do back then.

Just like himself.

At that time, his skills were among the best in Hong Kong.

But as we get older, our physical condition in all aspects declines significantly.

Even when shooting some action scenes, Hong Jinbao had to use a body double.

"Director Hong, how about I give it a try?"

Just when Hong Jinbao was worried, Chen Cheng suddenly came forward.

"you?"

Hong Jinbao was stunned.

Wei Hai was furious: "Chen Cheng, are you humiliating us?"

Chen Cheng said, "Director Wei, we are all filming together, there is no need to do this. Besides, I was also a martial artist back then."

"Have you ever worked in the martial arts industry?"

Wei Hai could hardly believe it.

Looking at Chen Cheng, Hong Jinbao nodded: "Chen Cheng, okay, you warm up first."

"it is good."

Chen Cheng nodded.

"Brothers, Coach Chen is ready to warm up."

"What? Coach Chen is going to go on stage?"

"It seems that Director Chen is an artist."

The rest of the behind-the-scenes team was a little confused.

Although Chen Cheng’s previous horse riding competition made the entire Hong Kong team stay in bed for three days.

But riding is riding.

Being good at horse riding does not mean that you can do other actions.

not to mention.

The move just now was still very difficult.

Deputy martial arts instructor Wei Hai stepped forward and almost fell off his horse.

Many people can't believe it.

But soon.

Chen Cheng has finished warming up.

Put on your battle uniform.

Chen Cheng picked up his gun and mounted his horse.

"Are you ready?"

"OK."

A snap.

The city gate opens.

Chen Cheng appeared from the Shuzhong camp.

He lifted the reins in his hand and jumped onto the railing more than one meter high with both the man and the horse.

Before anyone could even say "good".

Chen Cheng took the lead and stabbed forward with his gun.

A soldier in the enemy camp screamed and blood gushed out.

It only took a few seconds for him to emerge from the camp on horseback, leap onto the horse, and stab straight ahead with his spear.

of course.

It is impossible that the soldier in the enemy camp who was actually filming the scene actually shot a hole in Chen Cheng's body.

But even if this is a movie shoot.

Chen Cheng's action made everyone on the set excited.

"it is good."

"So handsome."

the other side.

Chen Cheng took a look at the enemy soldier and spat.

Then he returned slowly.

This action, this expression, this acting skills... once again pushed everyone to a climax.

Li Rengang also said "good".

"Holy crap, who is our art director? Why is he so awesome?"

"I heard that he used to be a martial artist?"

"A martial artist became an art director, how awesome is that?"

"I used to be the first assistant director."

On the set, various legends about Chen Cheng were circulated from time to time.

"Now you know that there are always better people out there." Looking at Wei Hai, Hong Jinbao scolded Wei Hai again.

Wei Hai blushed a little.

It was not until now that he truly understood that Chen Cheng's level was far superior to theirs.

"Coach Chen, I apologize to you for what happened before."

Coming in front of Chen Cheng, Wei Hai said uncomfortably.

Chen Cheng also stretched out his hand: "Coach Wei, what are you talking about? I don't remember anything about the past."

Seeing Chen Cheng being so straightforward, Wei Hai also said, "Coach Chen, please give me more guidance in the future."

Chen Cheng replied modestly: "Let's talk about it together. Before I started working in art, I was also interested in martial arts. I even wanted to develop into a martial arts instructor at that time."

"Oh, it seems we are still traveling together."

"That's not."

For a while, the two of them had a very pleasant chat.

……

"Master, you have a good eye."

Back in the martial arts instructor's office, Wei Hai said to Hong Jinbao.

Hong Jinbao nodded and said, "It's not like the past. Hong Kong films are on the decline. The future belongs to the mainland. Don't look down on these mainland filmmakers. They just started later than us, but their abilities are no less than ours."

"Indeed."

Wei Hai also sighed.

After this incident.

During the subsequent filming, everyone in the crew got along very well.

There was some hostility between the two sides before, but after Chen Cheng, it disappeared invisibly.

All parties cooperated with each other and reached a good understanding.

"Director Li, for the last shot of Zhao Zilong at Changbanpo, I designed it to be Zhao Zilong riding a horse over the cliff..."

Hong Jinbao communicated the designed action shots with director Li Rengang.

Li Rengang nodded: "This shot is beautiful, but how many meters are the two sides apart?"

"About 6 meters."

"Six meters, can you hold it?"

"Theoretically, if a horse can jump 8 meters, 6 meters should be no problem."

"But after all, we still have to carry a person on our back, and this is also quite dangerous. Can the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Master perform this action?"

"It's not a big problem."

"Okay then, let's set this for tomorrow's scene."

Hong Jinbao said there was no problem and Li Rengang didn't ask any more questions.

But the next day, when we actually came to shoot this scene, there were huge problems.

"Damn, it's 6 meters wide. I don't dare."

"I don't dare to do that either. The main thing is, what if I fail to jump over and fall down?"

"I thought so too."

Several martial artists gave it a try.

result.

When the horse was about to jump over, it stopped again.

no way.

The gap between the two sides is quite large. Although it is theoretically possible to jump over it, martial artists are also human beings.

As a human being, you will have fear.

With such a mentality, naturally, this leap cannot be completed.

"How about asking Coach Chen to give it a try?"

Wei Hai suggested.

Li Rengang smiled and said, "Your martial arts guidance team can't always ask the art guidance team to do the work."

This made Hong Jinbao feel a little embarrassed.

indeed.

This is clearly the job of a martial arts instructor, so why would it be a good idea to ask an art director to do this?

But after thinking about it, Li Rengang said, "Okay, let Chen Cheng come over and listen to his opinions."

A few minutes later.

When General Wei Hai made the suggestion, Chen Cheng was stunned: "Good fellow, you really think highly of me."

However, Hong Jinbao said on the side: "Chen Cheng, we won't let you help for nothing. As long as this shot is completed, our martial arts guidance team can give you the title of deputy martial arts guidance."

This title is nothing.

But as long as your name is there, it is a kind of qualification.

However, Chen Cheng still had some hesitation.

It’s not that he can’t jump over it.

He was quite confident about the 6-meter span.

It’s just that Chen Cheng has always been afraid of death.

He never does work that is too dangerous.

As for your question about how Chen Cheng came up with the idea of ​​becoming a martial arts instructor.

This is normal.

A martial arts instructor is someone who instructs others to do dangerous work, not someone who instructs himself to do it.

Seeing Chen Cheng's hesitation, Li Rengang added: "How about this, Chen Cheng, I'll give you another assistant director title."

"Deputy director?"

"Yes, it's just a nominal title. Anyway, your name will be on the screen when the film is released, but you will be at the end of the director's seat."

"make a deal."

No more words were said.

He was given the title of deputy martial arts instructor and also held the position of assistant director.

I am also an art director.

This wave made a lot of money.

Chen Cheng put on Zhao Zilong's battle robe and carried a cloth bag symbolizing Adou.

Riding on a war horse, he jumped down.

This shot was completed in less than a minute.

Li Rengang felt incredible.

Looking at the camera.

indeed.

Chen Cheng jumped over.

Not only did it jump over, the shot was also very impactful.

But maybe it was because the filming went too smoothly.

Li Rengang touched his chin, looked at the camera, and said, "It was a jump, but I feel like I didn't show Zhao Zilong's aura."

Chen Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Director Li, I'm a stand-in. How can a stand-in play this role?"

But Li Rengang said: "You already have a double, it's okay, just act out a scene. If you change to Andy, the shot will be broken and the effect will not be very good."

Chen Cheng vomited blood and said, "Director Li, you have to pay more."

Li Rengang chuckled, "Okay, add more money, you must add more money."

This kind of work is not something that ordinary people can do.

Fortunately, Chen Cheng has a strong physical fitness.

Coupled with the skill of [Horse Riding Master], Chen Cheng's control over horses has reached a very high level.

Therefore, Chen Cheng would have no problem jumping into the big pit ahead, let alone once, even if he jumped ten times.

But now it has a higher difficulty.

Not only do you have to dance, you also have to show Zhao Zilong's indomitable spirit.

If it were someone else, it would be quite difficult.

But who is Chen Cheng?

He is no ordinary person.

It would have been fine if Li Rengang hadn't made any requests, but if he did, Chen Cheng would have made sure to satisfy him in every minute.

"Makeup teacher, please touch up my makeup."

"Get some more blood on your face."

Chen Cheng took the initiative to ask the makeup artist to touch up his makeup.

After the bloodstains dried, Chen Cheng mounted his warhorse again.

Although it is the first time I play the role of Zhao Zilong.

But I don’t know how familiar the image of Zhao Zilong is in my mind.

Also serves as art director.

Chen Cheng didn't know how many times he had painted the image of Zhao Zilong.

It can be said.

Even if Chen Cheng did not play the role of Zhao Zilong, he had actually played the role of Zhao Zilong thousands of times in his heart.

Start with one sound.

Chen Cheng just felt that he was Zhao Zilong.

He carried Adou on his back.

He wants to break out of the enemy camp.

He wants to achieve great things.

Ahead is the cliff.

But Zhao Zilong didn't care about anything.

He leapt upon his horse.

With a neigh from the handsome horse, Chen Cheng had already leaped to the other side.

Look back.

Chen Cheng looked at Adou on his back.

When Chen Cheng heard Adou cry, he knew that he had saved Adou and also found a way to survive for himself.

Can't help but.

Chen Cheng laughed out loud.

The laughter sounded crazy and insane, as if it had let go of everything, and also as if it had everything.

Li Rengang did not call for cut.

He asked the photographer to aim at Chen Cheng's face.

Chen Cheng's face was distorted and he used up his last bit of strength to laugh.

The actor who played Cao Cao stood in front of the cliff and asked, "Will you please leave your name?"

Chen Cheng shouted, "Zhao Zilong of Changshan."

This scene stunned Liu Dehua who was standing next to him.
