Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 103 Swinging

There is an open lawn around the swing, surrounded by several sturdy trees.

There were still some yellow leaves left on the branches, trembling in the breeze.

There are some scattered stones at the edge of the grass, which seem out of place with the surrounding environment.

Hu Xiaobei activated his spiritual perception ability and first checked whether there were any hidden sharp objects near the swing, and ordered the staff to remove them one by one.

Then, he checked the lens range through the monitor and sensed whether the light and angle within the shooting range were appropriate.

This is an open outdoor location with a relatively flat ground. It is surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. In the distance, the mountains are rolling and shrouded in clouds and mist.

Hu Xiaobei called An Xiaoqian and Huang Xiaoming and asked them to sit on the swing and swing for a few rounds.

Afterwards, he called the lighting and photography and gave them detailed instructions one by one.

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands to illustrate the camera angles and lighting issues, and pointed out two flaws that could easily lead to bloopers.

Then, he said to Huang Xiaoming, who was ready to warm up, "Okay, take off your clothes."

Huang Xiaoming took a deep breath and just took off his shirt when the chill instantly pierced his skin like ice needles, and he couldn't help but shiver.

He was shirtless, his lower lip clenched with teeth, his cheeks slightly puffed up, trying hard to suppress the cold, holding the swing rope tightly with both hands, and then slowly sat on it.

His body was trembling slightly, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and determination.

An Xiaoqian sat on his right, with a faint smile on her face and her eyes looking forward with a hint of warmth.

Hu Xiaobei reminded from the side: "Xiaoming, start swinging.

Pay attention to your expressions and movements. Don't be tense. Show the casual feeling of family-like affection between Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu."

Huang Xiaoming nodded, pushed hard, and the swing began to swing.

The two of them swung back and forth to the rhythm of the swing, and Huang Xiaoming gradually relaxed with a smile on his face.

Hu Xiaobei stared at Huang Xiaoming, his eyes revealing a hint of concentration, and said: "Xiaoming, relax a little more, open your mouth and say some lines casually.

And Sissi, pay attention to your expression, and show that you are simply enjoying the swing."

The two of them cooperated more and more tacitly, and the swing swung higher and higher.

Huang Xiaoming felt the rhythm of the swing, as if he was really in the world of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu.

An Xiaoqian occasionally looked at "Yang Guo", her eyes full of tenderness.

"Click, that's it." Hu Xiaobei looked at the filming content and found that the pictures in it were enough.

In fact, this swinging scene and the scene where Yang Guo builds a wooden house can be regarded as the same scene.

Because during the main drama, Yang Guo will be shown building a house while chatting with Xiaolongnu.

One of them wanted to practice the martial arts in the Jade Girl Heart Sutra well and then go down the mountain to play, while the other didn't want to see outsiders at all, so he said he would wait until he had practiced the Nine Yin Scriptures well before going down the mountain.

The scene of the two practicing swordsmanship filmed in the morning was exactly the subsequent clip in the main drama.

In other words, if the order in which they were filmed is reversed, it will be exactly the plot direction after Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu leave the ancient tomb in the main drama.

If we move the time forward a little, we can also include the plot where Zhen Zhibing desecrates Xiaolongnu.

This is how shots are shot in reality, and it is not based on the plot.

Especially when shooting outdoor scenes, the focus is on the shooting location, and the normal process is to concentrate on shooting all the scenes that need to be shot in one place.

For example, in the original time and space, Xiaolongnu's appearance scene happened to be An Xiaoqian's final scene, and the order was completely reversed.

Take the circus for example. Most of the circus scenes in this drama were filmed in Jiuzhaigou, and the outdoor circus scenes have basically never been filmed anywhere else.

When Huang Xiaoming heard Hu Xiaobei shout "click", he immediately got off the swing and quickly put on his clothes.

Although the shoot was only a few minutes long, he felt a chill run through his bones. Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but worry about what to do with the cabin-building scene later.

That scene had a lot of lines and required a lot of physical work, and more importantly, Yu Minjie was in charge of the filming. He was afraid that he couldn't handle it!

If I hadn't experienced Hu Xiaobei's efficient shooting, it would be fine and I wouldn't have any thoughts about it.

But after this comparison, he immediately felt deflated. It was obvious that there was nothing wrong with his acting skills, but he had to spend so much energy to accompany the director to do useless work.

Hu Xiaobei had nothing to do, so he decided to see how Yu Minjie filmed this scene.

Yu Minjie had just had a good rest and calculated the time, so he was strolling over to watch Hu Xiaobei filming.

Who knew that he had only left less than half an hour late, and Hu Xiaobei had already finished filming!

You have to know that after deducting the time for preliminary preparation, the actual time left for them to shoot may be less than ten minutes.

This... is a bit scary.

Yu Minjie thought about his shooting speed: the gap between them is really too big. Wait, that’s not right. I have high requirements for my work and I strive for perfection.

Well, that's it.

He came to the monitor and carefully watched the swinging scene several times, then remained silent.

After a long time, Yu Minjie let out a long sigh and began to comfort himself: As expected of the strongest champion in Chinese history, I shouldn't compare myself with BT. Yes, that's it.

Thinking of this, his mood suddenly improved a lot and he felt relaxed.

People are like this. When the gap between each other is big enough, words like "comparison" and "fear" completely lose their meaning.

Yu Minjie coughed lightly, adjusted his mentality, sorted out his thoughts, and started his filming work step by step.

Two hours later, Huang Xiaoming sniffed his nose and took advantage of the break to curl up in the prepared coat, trying to get this hard-earned moment of warmth.

Although An Xiaoqian was wearing the costume of Xiaolongnu, the inner and outer garments were very thin and had no warmth-retaining effect.

At this moment, she also curled up in her large down jacket and sat in her red folding chair.

Liu Xiaoli sat on the black folding chair on the left, straightened her body slightly, and handed the thermos cup that had just been unscrewed to her mouth.

An Xiaoqian opened her little mouth and took a small sip, but didn't dare to drink more.

Although she is very good at holding her urine, there are prerequisites.

After drinking too much water, even she, who was an expert at holding her urine, had little confidence that she could hold on until returning to the hotel.

Hu Xiaobei was sitting on a blue folding chair to her right, his head slightly tilted to one side, his eyes half asleep, yawning with little interest.

Huang Xiaoming, who was not far away, looked pitiful and stared at Hu Xiaobei with eager eyes.

An Xiaoqian couldn't bear it when she saw this, so she turned her head to the side, raised her eyebrows, stared at Hu Xiaobei straight, wrinkled her nose slightly, and sniffed deliberately, as if giving a hint, or acting coquettishly, the meaning was obvious.

Hu Xiaobei seemed to be amused by An Xiaoqian's appearance. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly and he tried hard to suppress his smile.

Then he slowly stood up, stretched, shook his head slightly, and walked towards Yu Minjie with a hint of laziness.

He used the same trick again, trying to secretly guide Yu Minjie and let him think of the correct answer again.

However, Yu Minjie seemed like a different person. As soon as Hu Xiaobei took the first step, he began to ask for advice humbly.

Hu Xiaobei is not a man who keeps secrets to himself, so seeing this, he spoke openly and pointed out the areas that needed improvement in the filming.

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

Half an hour later, the crew completed today's filming tasks ahead of schedule and announced the end of work.
