Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 104 Swaddling Qian

October 10, Wuhuahai scenic spot.

When the crew stepped into this picturesque world, the colorful autumn leaves and the clear blue Wuhua Lake became their stage backdrop.

In this dreamlike beauty, the crew began a day of filming.

The surroundings are quiet, with the occasional whistling of the cold wind adding a bit of chill to the beautiful scenery.

The crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes filmed some scenes of practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra during the day, and then continued to film the remaining Jade Girl Heart Sutra scenes at night.

(PS: The information I found was shot at Wuhua Lake, but she also talked about this in an interview in Yandang Mountain. I’m not sure whether it was shot separately. For the convenience of writing, I’ve combined them here.)
Hu Xiaobei did not participate in this plot, he was just watching from the sidelines. The only suggestion he made was to ask An Xiaoqian to put on more hot packs.

Speaking of hot packs, these things are not popular in China yet. The purchasing team spent a lot of time and effort to buy some hot packs from China.

Due to the plot requirements, Huang Xiaoming had to shoot the scene of practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra with his upper body bare. Fortunately, he could wear more pants, but not too much.

If the sunlight still brought a bit of warmth during the day and he could still hold on by gritting his teeth, then the night would be too difficult to endure.

At night in Jiuzhaigou, the cold wind whistled through the woods, making a hissing sound. The icy breath was everywhere, drilling straight into the bones.

You know, the temperature difference between morning and evening in Jiuzhaigou in late October is huge.

An Xiaoqian was not much better off. She used to be able to wear a white coat, but when filming the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, she could only wear a piece of underwear, and her hands and feet had to be exposed.

She shrank her neck, hugged herself unconsciously with her hands, and her body trembled slightly.

Fortunately, she had a wig that could block out some of the cold wind, and with Hu Xiaobei by her side, his shadow could also provide a barrier for her.

"Xixi, just hold on a little longer. You can go get warm as soon as the filming is finished." Hu Xiaobei comforted her softly.

An Xiaoqian endured the chill, straightened her body, and forced a smile: "Well, it's okay, I can do it, I'm not cold at all."

If her teeth weren't chattering from the cold and her lips weren't slightly purple, then it might have been more convincing.

Fortunately, with the experience of shooting during the day, the progress at night was much faster.

Speaking of the scene of practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, Hu Xiaobei had previously made suggestions, but Big Beard did not adopt them.

He had a lot of ideas about this scene, and even invited a modern dance teacher from Shenzhen to design the movements together with the martial arts instructor. Therefore, this part incorporates various dance forms such as modern dance.

Hu Xiaobei looked at the strange dance moves in the camera and couldn't help but frowning and pouting. He really couldn't bear to watch it.

But this scene really hit the spot for Big Beard.

I saw his eyes shining, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he rubbed his hands excitedly from time to time. I can only say that the difference in aesthetic tastes between people is really too big.

"Crack!"

As the second click sounded, Liu Xiaoli handed her daughter a small warm item with a distressed look on her face.

Hu Xiaobei quickly picked up his warm coat, wrapped An Xiaoqian up, and quickly carried her to the heating equipment.

Looking at the little quail shivering in the red folding chair, Hu Xiaobei frowned reluctantly, sighed softly, shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked quickly towards the direction of the lights and photography.

The play is dominated by the bearded man, and no one can change his mind.

But Hu Xiaobei can indirectly influence the staff around him and speed up the filming progress.

It was so cold and late at night that the staff's movements were a little stiff. They hunched their bodies and blew on their hands from time to time.

In this situation, they also want to return to the warm bed as soon as possible and seal themselves up.

While chatting, Hu Xiaobei secretly reached a consensus with several staff members, made some minor adjustments, and successfully accelerated the shooting progress.

"Okay, let's shoot it like this. Come on, let's save another one." The bearded man had a satisfied smile on his face and decided to shoot again with full confidence.

After a short rest, he felt as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened, and the filming went exceptionally smoothly. He had a feeling that heaven and earth were on his side.

It is difficult for ordinary people to experience the feeling of putting their ideas into practice perfectly.

This requires extremely strong foundation and control to achieve this level. Seeing that Bao Yitiao's content was once again perfectly filmed, the bearded man let out a long sigh, secretly proud in his heart: It's worthy of me!

He stroked his beard, looked around for a while, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

After a long while, he didn't see anyone who understood, so he frowned and shook his head slightly.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: these people's level is too low, and they can't understand my artistic conception.

Forget it, I can’t blame them. It’s just that my level is too high and I’m out of touch with the masses.

Hu Xiaobei naturally understood, but he was not interested in chatting with the bearded man.

As soon as the filming was finished, he and Liu Xiaoli surrounded An Xiaoqian, wrapped her in a warm coat, and ran back to the car with her in their arms.

The car has been preheated in advance and the interior is warm.

An Xiaoqian didn't even change her clothes. She just stayed in her warm coat, her body shivering slightly. She didn't want to move at all, as if all her strength had been drained away.

After a while, the crew announced that they had officially finished work and could set off back to the hotel.

Hu Xiaobei then helped her take off the wig with gentle and skillful movements.

At this time, the three of them were sitting in the back seat of the car, Liu Xiaoli on the far left, Hu Xiaobei on the far right, and An Xiaoqian lying in the middle.

She half closed her eyes, leaned her upper body on Hu Xiaobei, and put her feet on Liu Xiaoli's legs.

Due to the needs of filming, she was barefoot the whole time. At this time, Liu Xiaoli was holding a tissue and gently wiping the soles of her feet.

The gentle touch made An Xiaoqian shrink back, her brows slightly furrowed, and an itchy expression appeared on her face.

When the cleaning was almost done, Liu Xiaoli gently hid her feet inside her coat, stuffed a hot water bottle in it, and gently turned them over with her hands from time to time.

Her eyes were full of worry and doting, she was afraid of burning or freezing her daughter.

After a few minutes, An Xiaoqian's body gradually warmed up, and her cheeks, which were originally red from the cold, began to show color.

She opened her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

At this moment, she was like a 17-year-old baby, curled up in the cradle, wrapped tightly, and feeling full of security.

Being full and warm is the most basic need. Once a person feels warm, he or she will want to eat.

An Xiaoqian was no exception. She raised her little mouth high and slightly opened it, with a hint of coquettishness, and made a "hmm" sound as a gesture.

No one knows a girl better than her mother. Liu Xiaoli quickly unscrewed the thermos cup and wanted to hand it to her mouth.

Due to the location, it was not very convenient. Seeing this, Hu Xiaobei quickly stretched out his left hand to take it and fed it directly to her mouth.

An Xiaoqian opened her little mouth, drank a few gulps of hot water, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Then the baby turned his little head to the left, closed his eyes slightly, and quietly enjoyed this rare time in the cradle.

The little face began to be filled with happiness, as if it had returned to the warm and safe infancy.

After finishing this scene tonight, the filming of Little Dragon Girl's scenes on location in Jiuzhaigou has been completed.

Hu Xiaobei originally planned to set off to Yandang Mountain tomorrow to shoot part of the scene, but who would have thought that Big Beard would ask him to shoot a difficult shot.

This shot of the two people performing light skills to fly across the lake surface of 100 meters only appeared for a few seconds in the main drama, implying that the two people left the ancient tomb and escaped the disaster.

But when it came to the actual filming, considering safety issues, Hu Xiaobei still spent a whole morning preparing.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly without any major incidents.

The distance was just too far, and with the several hundred meters of line pulling it, it was very difficult for Hu Xiaobei to maintain his shadow.
