Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 87: What’s the point of being an actor if you can’t even memorize your lines?
Soon, the control device under the green screen began to vibrate violently. Wen Zheng, who was sitting on it, had a ferocious look on his face and shouted at the top of his lungs: "4536251, 1887415157!"

“5431! 5431!!! 222!! 5551!!!”

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Huang Jingyuan looked at his assistant at this time: "The next scene is the explosion scene."

"A body double." The assistant didn't even think about it and almost didn't hesitate: "Our Wen Zheng is an image-oriented actor, and he has many announcements to do at the same time. What if something unexpected happens because of your shot? Can you bear it? Come to your place to film. You want to buy your life for a mere 65 million yuan in salary? This amount of money is just the price of a short-term endorsement for Wen Zheng, so don't ask similar questions in the future."

"Okay, okay." Huang Jingyuan nodded quickly.

He then shouted: "Crack!"

On the side, a stand-in who had been prepared long ago replaced Wen Zheng's position, and Wen Zheng himself was immediately accompanied by several staff members with blankets and water. They wrapped him in the blanket and took him to the side, and then began to delicately touch up his makeup.

"Everyone, take your positions! Action!"

The filming continued, and Huang Jingyuan picked up the intercom: "Explosion!"

Bang!
Under the command, two explosions were heard at the blasting point that had been set up not far away.

In fact, the explosion is shot for visual effects, which cannot affect the actors at all, and the power is not great. All we need is a basic shot on which special effects can be superimposed.

Soon, after a series of prop shots, Huang Jingyuan shouted: "Cut!"

In an instant, a large number of crew members surrounded Wen Zheng, including Huang Jingyuan.

Wen Zheng was frowning and looking at his little finger.

"Teacher Wen, what's wrong with you?" Huang Jingyuan asked.

"My finger just scratched the prop and got hurt." Wen Zheng replied calmly.

"Is this okay with you, Mr. Wen?"

"Oh my god, there's so much blood."

"How do you do things on your set?" Wen Zheng's assistant came forward angrily and asked, "Were the safety measures in place? Didn't you check beforehand?"

"Sorry, sorry, this is our fault. What should we do now?" Huang Jingyuan was obviously a little panicked.

"What should we do? Call 120! The insurance for one of our Wen Zheng's fingers is worth millions!"

"Okay, okay, I'll hit you right away!"

However, Wen Zheng just waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Director Huang was just careless for a moment. Don't blame him too much. Go get my phone, take a picture first, and then post it on Weibo."

"Okay, right away!"

Soon, a post appeared on Weibo, which was posted by Wen Zheng’s account.

A photo showing a scratch on a finger, with an ambulance in the background.

"There was a small accident on the set, and the safety measures were not in place, but I am still filming seriously. Fans, don't worry. Everything I do is to present you my most perfect state and work."

Wen Zheng's Weibo has 40 million fans, and the traffic is extremely huge. Not to mention that "New Sea Fortress" has been at the center of public opinion recently, this has triggered a lot of discussion.

"Ah? How did you get hurt? Oh my god, it looks so serious? Are you okay?"

"Remember to go to the hospital immediately."

"Do I need surgery? Will it affect the filming?"

"Wow, Wen Zheng brother is so hardworking. He is still working hard on the filming at this time. He is simply the most dedicated person."

"What on earth is this crew doing? Don't they pay attention to safety risks when filming?"

"Should we organize a visit to the set? It can also be considered as supervising the crew to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

"Being an actor is really a high-risk profession. It's too hard."

On the other hand, as for the various events triggered by the filming of the now-ubiquitous "New Sea Fortress", Xia Yuan really knew nothing about it.

After he found out that Huang Jingyuan had blocked him, he quickly forgot about Huang Jingyuan and the script.

He then returned to the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" and continued his busy filming work.

After filming the scenes that Xin Hai could shoot on location, they immediately chartered a plane with the entire crew and came to the second set.

Located in a small town in Guangdong, it is called Meijia Town.

There was no other way. This place was the only ancient town Xia Yuan found after exploring major ancient towns across the country that met the requirements for the set of "Let the Bullets Fly".

Although such old arcade streets can be found almost everywhere in the country, they have all been highly modernized and commercialized.

It is full of various developed tourist projects and shops, and has too many traces of modernization, and does not meet the requirements at all.

And most importantly, there was no square. The scene requirement of "Let the Bullets Fly" is that there must be a vast square with the standard of arcades. This is an important scene in the movie, and the cost and resources required for temporary construction are too high.

Therefore, only this place is suitable. Meijia Town is one of the few ancient arcade towns that is not seriously commercialized. Now, the scene being filmed is an interior scene. The scene has been built and everyone is busy.

Xia Yuan shouted with a loud speaker: "Hurry up! Pay more attention to the scenery, can the surveillance camera be covered? It's leaking! Hurry up on the actors' makeup! Speed, speed!"

This scene was surprisingly an important shot.

That was Chu Zhongtian’s final shot.

He played the role of Liuzi, the son of Zhang Muzhi. Zhang Muzhi originally had extremely high expectations for him. He did not want his adopted son to follow in his footsteps and even wanted to send him to study abroad.

However, he did not expect that because of the conflict between himself and Huang Silang, Liuzi would be dragged into it and become a victim of the contest between the two sides.

Liuzi was wrongly accused, and this scene was where he performed a caesarean section to prove himself.

At this moment, Chu Zhongtian was holding a dagger, looking at the dagger with a depressed look, and then looking at Xia Yuan in the distance.

Damn it, I can’t trust Xia Yuan no matter who I trust.

Are you going to have diarrhea again?
He couldn't help but think of what Xia Yuan said to him at the beginning, telling him not to worry and that he was absolutely sincere to him.

It's really heartfelt, on a physical level.

But there is no other way, I have to shoot it now.

He touched the prop vest hidden under his clothes on his abdomen.

The blood packs and gelatin packs are already prepared here.

When the filming starts, the knife is a real one, and he will pierce the blood bag with one knife. Then he will take the bowl and put the gelatin prop with blood inside into the bowl.

Everything is in place, camera roll.

The script supervisor stepped forward and made the decision.

"Let the Bullets Fly, scene 11, first section, third shot, first line, three, two, one, action!"

Snapped!
Hu Wan's actor sat upright on a chair with a weird smile on his face: "Sixth Master, you ate two bowls of noodles, but only paid for one bowl."

"Bullshit! I only ate one bowl of noodles and gave him the money for one bowl!"

Liuzi, played by Chu Zhongtian, retorted and pointed in the direction of the waiter in the distance.

"How many bowls did he eat?" asked actor Hu Wan.

"Two bowls." The waiter answered timidly.

"Impossible!" At this time, the martial arts candidate behind kicked and said, "Impossible!

Liu Ye is the son of the county magistrate, how could he owe you money for powder?"

The waiter said: "I ate two bowls and only paid for one."

Hu Wan stood up and said, "County Governor, you want to give our Goose City a fair go. Okay! What I want today is a fair go!"

Everyone: "Yes! Yes!"

"Who should I ask? I should ask the county magistrate's son. Why? He ate two bowls of noodles, but I only gave him the money for one bowl? This is called unfair!

Since the county magistrate's son is the one who took the lead in saying it's unfair, then what the county magistrate said is bullshit!"

"Fuck!" Chu Zhongtian immediately stepped forward angrily and was about to take action, with veins on his forehead exposed.

"Sixth Master! Sixth Master, Sixth Master!" Mr. Wu hurried forward and held down Chu Zhongtian.

"Hu Wan! Liu Ye is the county magistrate's son! How could he owe him money for powder?! Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Hey, you traitor, what's up? Doesn't your butt hurt anymore?"

"Today we are not talking about butts, we are talking about jelly. One bowl is one bowl, two bowls are two bowls, no ambiguity!"

The martial arts candidate bowed and said, "Sixth Master! You are a real man! I admire you!"

Chu Zhongtian stepped forward at this time.

But just as he was about to raise his hand to speak his lines, he froze and got stuck.

No lines were spoken.

The whole scene fell apart, and the aura that everyone had been building up for the play was also lost.

"Ka." Xia Yuan frowned and looked at Chu Zhongtian: "What's going on?"

"I forgot the lyrics." Chu Zhongtian scratched his head, his eyes a little ashamed.

"How many times?" Xia Yuan frowned. "This is your fifth time in this period, right? I'm not saying that there can't be NGs, but you know that the NGs I can't accept the most are problems with the lines, because this involves basic skills. As an actor, you should know that a line is not suitable for a picture or a shot. If you can't even recite all the lines, what kind of actor are you?
Is it hard to memorize? One bowl is one bowl, two bowls are two bowls, one is one, two is two, I ate one bowl of jelly today!" Xia Yuan said, "A line of words, including punctuation, is less than forty words, can't you memorize it? Huh? I have been telling you to prepare carefully for this scene for a long time, right? Can you treat your role's final shot with some care? If you keep having this attitude and look like a ghost, you really can't shoot it."
