Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 166 Two People's Excuse
In The Return of the Condor Heroes, Xiaolongnu's most interior scenes are in the ancient tomb, the Valley of Unrequited Love, and Xiangyang City.

The ancient tomb had not been built yet, and the scenes in the Valley of Unrequited Love had been almost finished, so only the two-person scenes with Yang Guo and some large group scenes were left.

These scenes cannot be filmed by An Xiaoqian alone, and basically require the cooperation of Huang Xiaoming.

There are also some small fragmented plots, such as the roles of supporting characters such as Xiaolongnu, Gongsun Lue'e, Old Boy Zhou Botong, and King Jinlun, which are relatively easy to arrange.

After learning in advance that Huang Xiaoming had finished reshooting the Yandang Mountain scenes, Hu Xiaobei and Yu Minjie communicated and made arrangements quickly.

In just two days of filming, the remaining scenes of Xiaolongnu in the interior of the Unrequited Valley were completed.

Even so, it was because of Yu Minjie's presence that Hu Xiaobei was hindered and could not give full play to his abilities.

The main fighting scenes in Unrequited Valley are still focused on Gongsun Zhi, and Xiaolongnu only has some fighting scenes involving the combination of two swords.

In addition, there is the shot where Xiaolongnu's slender waist twists and her red wedding dress bursts open in an instant, which can barely be considered a personal fighting scene...

Yes, it’s a fight scene. The clothes were torn apart, so how can it not be considered a fight scene?

You should know that in the early King of Fighters games, it was very common for clothes to be ripped off when being defeated in a fight.

cough cough...

The liveliness of this scene is even more stunning than on TV. Even if it is just a casually shot behind-the-scenes footage, it is no worse than the footage edited in the original time and space.

After filming Xiaolongnu's scenes in the Valley of Unrequited Love, Hu Xiaobei's shooting efficiency was still extremely high, but he took the initiative to slow down the shooting speed.

Because of the shooting progress, he focused more on filming the scenes between Xiaolongnu and the supporting characters.

Plots like the Battle of Xiangyang City and the Martial Arts Conference are indeed difficult to shoot, which requires the deployment of most of the actors.

However, plots like the one during the first battle of Xiangyang City, where Xiaolongnu rescued Guo Xiang and fought against King Jinlun, can be picked and chosen for filming.

All we need to do is reshoot some scenes related to Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo in the later stage.

That way, there won't be so little to shoot.

Although the shooting speed was slowed down, a lot of time was freed up.

Early morning, near the hotel.

Hu Xiaobei was doing stretching exercises skillfully while waving to An Xiaoqian.

He had a gentle but unquestionable smile on his face: "Xixi, although our filming speed has slowed down a bit during this period, it has freed up a lot of time, so try not to be idle.

You still have to exercise and practice your voice every morning, which will be very helpful for your future acting career."

As he spoke, his eyes were always on An Xiaoqian, and he deliberately showed an expression of concern and expectation like a teacher.

An Xiaoqian seemed not to notice, she just stopped her morning jog and followed reluctantly, muttering, "Well, I just had a little free time, and you've already filled it up.

I can't even sleep well!

Every day, apart from the various preparations before filming, whenever I have some free time, you let me read acting theory and make up for the lessons I missed during filming."

After that, a sly look flashed in her eyes. While she was skillfully doing the stretching movements, she deliberately showed a hint of anger as if unintentionally, and tried to threaten: "Tell me, are you deliberately torturing me?

Yes, that's for sure.

You have to practice with me every day. We have to share the joys and sorrows and fight side by side. Otherwise, I won’t practice alone.”

Hu Xiaobei stopped, took a step forward, and looked at An Xiaoqian seriously, his eyes firm and sincere: "You have to understand that only by combining theory and practice can your acting skills improve.

This is much more useful than rote learning in school.

Also, this is all for your own good, how can you threaten me with this kind of thing?"

As he spoke, he gently patted An Xiaoqian's shoulder, giving her encouragement and commenting on her shortcomings.

"I don't care. If you don't practice with me, I won't practice either."

As soon as she said this, An Xiaoqian regretted it. Knowing that she had spoken out of turn, she added weakly, "Okay, I know you're doing this for my own good..."

According to her character, she shouldn't have said such willful words. She was not afraid of hardship, nor was she the type to give up easily. She also knew that Hu Xiaobei often guided her acting skills by leading by example.

Her theoretical and practical knowledge improved rapidly, far beyond the reach of her classmates who stayed in school and studied hard.

But somehow, in front of Hu Xiaobei, she didn't think so much at all, but just subconsciously made a request that was both willful and unreasonable.

Although Hu Xiaobei exercises every morning to improve his physical fitness, An Xiaoqian is just a by-product.

But he still shook his head helplessly, pretending to be soft-hearted and agreeing: "Okay, okay, I'll practice with you. We'll share the hardship, okay?"

An Xiaoqian raised the corners of her mouth slightly, looked at Hu Xiaobei with satisfaction, and showed a proud smile after victory.

The two exercised for a while and then walked slowly back to the hotel.

An Xiaoqian looked at Hu Xiaobei's strong and powerful arms and couldn't help but sigh. A hint of envy appeared on her face, but there was a little disappointment in her eyes.

"Look, I've been exercising for so long, but why am I still so soft? I don't even have a noticeable muscle."

As she spoke, she looked down at her arm, squeezed it gently, and then reached out to squeeze Hu Xiaobei's arm.

Hu Xiaobei almost couldn't help laughing out loud. He reached out and gently tapped An Xiaoqian's forehead, jokingly saying, "As a girl, why do you need such exaggerated muscles?
Isn't it better now?
My physical fitness has improved, and my movements in front of the camera are more agile, which will be of greater help to my current and future filming."

As he said this, he suddenly seemed to remember some photos he had seen before, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Fortunately, I have always been helping An Xiaoqian with her physical exercise regimen and planning arrangements.

Although her physical fitness has improved a lot, her strength, agility and reaction have reached new heights.

But it won't help you build any incredible muscles, otherwise...

In addition, the reason why Hu Xiaobei didn't dare to let her be idle was because he was worried that she would want to play with his...shadow wings when she had nothing to do.

If possible, Hu Xiaobei would not want to use such supernatural abilities so blatantly in the city.

Although it is difficult for ordinary cameras to capture effective information due to the cover of night and shadows themselves.

As long as it is night time with average visibility, it is difficult to capture particularly useful images if the distance exceeds five meters, even in front of the camera lens.

At night, once the distance exceeds ten meters, the presence of the camera can be ignored.

Even if thermal imaging is turned on, it cannot penetrate the shadow.

But Hu Xiaobei asked himself if he could withstand the bullets, let alone the strange gazes and attacks from the authorities or foreign forces.

He can even control the risk of diving depth, let alone other things.

It’s better to be as surly as possible.

Because I had promised An Xiaoqian earlier that I would take her on a hang gliding flight once a month.

In the capital, gliding was not very convenient, but here in Xiangshan, Hu Xiaobei did not have too many concerns, but he did not want to break his promise.

Xiangshan is relatively close to the sea, so in terms of concealment, gliding over the sea is indeed more suitable.

As long as they fly a little farther inland, no one will be able to hear An Xiaoqian even if she screams at the top of her lungs, so there's nothing to worry about.

In the past few days, Hu Xiaobei often used the excuse of shopping to bring back some seafood he caught.

An Xiaoqian looked at him with suspicion in her eyes.

If he hadn't used studying as an excuse to assign An Xiaoqian a lot of "homework", it wouldn't have been delayed until now!

Fortunately, after a few days of testing and practice, Hu Xiaobei's control over shadow abilities has reached a new level, and he is now confident enough to ensure An Xiaoqian's safety at sea.

Although An Xiaoqian had some doubts these days, she was surprisingly quiet and did not pester him to try hang gliding.

In the blink of an eye, it was already late January, and it would not be good to delay her any longer.

After dinner, Hu Xiaobei quietly greeted An Xiaoqian and made an appointment to take her hang gliding tonight.
