Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 99: Tomb Exit Scene

Since Hu Xiaobei took over An Xiaoqian's martial arts training, many seemingly useless training contents in the early stage were actually paving the way for the formal shooting.

He once asked An Xiaoqian to practice holding her breath every time she took a bath.

This not only strengthens her respiratory muscles, improves her lung capacity, and exercises her cardiopulmonary function, but also reduces the difficulties she faces when filming.

For example, when shooting the scene after Xiaolongnu enters the water, if her lung capacity is not enough, it will be very difficult to capture the perfect picture in a short time.

Therefore, it is necessary to enter the water again and again and keep polishing to capture the most appropriate picture.

It would be fine if it were summer, but in this season, people would freeze to death as soon as they stepped into the icy water, and they would suffer a lot.

But it would be different if she had made preparations in advance. Xiaolongnu could have passed the water scene once and avoided suffering a second time.

If you plan ahead, you will succeed; if you don't, you will fail. That's all.

Hu Xiaobei did not arrange any work for the next day because he would be filming the tomb exit scene with Group A tomorrow.

In a co-production like this, unless Zhou Xiaowen shows up, Hu Xiaobei, as a junior and a novice in the film and television industry, will naturally not compete with Yu Minjie for dominance.

Fortunately, Yu Minjie is also an old hand, so he won't have any problems dealing with people and things.

Even if they were filming together and there was a plot about Xiaolongnu, he would still discuss it openly with Hu Xiaobei.

This scene at the exit of the ancient tomb is very famous because An Xiaoqian's life was almost in danger during the filming of this scene.

Fortunately, the crew took precautions and someone was following behind.

The crew's deputy director Gao Mingku pulled An Xiaoqian up, thus avoiding an accident.

Hu Xiaobei knew about this. Before he was reborn, he had read quite a few novels, and Huayu novels were naturally among them.

As the saying goes: There are thousands of female protagonists in the Chinese entertainment industry, and half of them are Taoist beauties.

For a long time, this sentence has been a true portrayal of Chinese entertainment literature.

Early Chinese entertainment articles were mostly Hong Kong entertainment bulldozer articles. As Hong Kong entertainment declined, the goddesses gradually grew old.

There are more and more harem stories about Bingbing and Yuanyuan in Chinese entertainment literature.

Due to timeline issues, An Xiaoqian at this time mainly appears as a student and supporting role.

As the post-80s and post-90s generations became the main consumers, Chinese entertainment articles with An Xiaoqian as the heroine began to grow explosively like mushrooms after rain.

In the early days, Bingbing and Yuanyuan could still compete, but as Bingbing was banned and Yuanyuan got married, it was difficult for Chinese entertainment to have a heroine other than An Xiaoqian.

If you read more Chinese entertainment articles, many little-known information will no longer be secrets.

And how many of the male and female celebrities in the spotlight can stand the test?

Some authors wrote about 85 flowers and ended up being sued.

Some authors try a different approach to write about young actresses with potential, but halfway through the book, the heroine fails.

Let’s not talk about harem novels. Readers are not picky. As long as there are female celebrities, the more the better. Even if they are ugly but unique, they can still get into it.

Looking at the Chinese entertainment industry over the years, there are only a few single female protagonists who truly have an audience and are worth writing about.

The older generation is similar to Yu Feihong and Zeng Li. Both of them are very self-disciplined. The former has connections everywhere, while the latter was a transparent and inactive person in the early days, with almost no information to dig out.

Most of the 85 flowers of this generation are frequent readers of harem novels. They have many problems and hidden dangers of their own. They cannot withstand careful scrutiny and may explode at any time.

If we really have to say that there is a story that is worth writing and has no problems, Jing Tian is one of them. The reason is simple, the same as Yu Feihong.

The vast majority of celebrities are radiant and there is no widespread negative information circulating online.

But if you dig deep into some negative information, you can usually find the truth. An Xiaoqian, however, has done a lot of good deeds in her 20-plus years since her debut, some of which weren't reported until years later.

However, there are countless negative news and dirty waters about her on the Internet. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the female star with the most negative news and dirty waters on the entire Internet.

However, if you really dig deeper, you will find that it is all dirty water thrown by people with ulterior motives, and there is not a single piece of black material that can be substantiated.

In other words, the only real negative information about her is her nationality, but this is only what most people think is real negative information.

However, the reality is often completely opposite to what everyone thinks. Even if her family has a certain ability to provide support, her nationality is still a talisman for her.

Even though there are all kinds of criticisms about her nationality on the Internet, what is the official attitude?
Forget it. Even if it is officially certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, those who do not approve of it will still not approve of it.

Back to the story, the next morning, the crew arrived at Pearl Beach Waterfall.

The waterfall roars, water droplets splash, and sunlight jumps on the water, reflecting colorful light.

The Pearl Beach Waterfall is majestic. The cascading water is like countless crystal pearls, crashing into the rushing water below, splashing layers of water.

The crew members stepped into the river. The water from the waterfall above was pouring down with incredible force. The splashing water hit their faces like shotgun, instantly blurring everyone's vision.

The rushing water below kept hitting everyone's bodies, like a pair of invisible hands trying to push them down.

The stones under my feet were slippery and rough, and every step was extremely difficult.

The cold water hitting the face makes people breathe rapidly and almost suffocate.

The roar of the waterfall was deafening, drowning out the shouts of the crowd, and every shout was washed away by the water, as if it would be swallowed up at any time.

In such a dangerous environment, everyone had to move forward cautiously, always alert to the water flowing down from the waterfall above their heads.

In fact, this scene is very simple and even has no artistic value, but it is difficult to shoot. The reason is that the terrain is difficult and dangerous.

The staff were good and well prepared. We didn't have to get wet near the waterfall and stayed dry.

It wasn't so easy for a few actors. They had to shoot the scene of diving out of the ancient tomb, which required them to go into the water. Their bodies had already been soaked by the icy river water.

(PS: In reality, only a very brief long shot was edited in the end, and 99% of it was useless.)
I saw them moving their feet with difficulty in the water, their bodies swaying under the impact of the water flow. If they were not careful, they would be in danger of falling at any time.

Since Hu Xiaobei planned to provide close protection, he was naturally well prepared. He not only wore a raincoat, but also a pair of agricultural long rubber waterproof boots that covered his knees.

He moved forward in the river easily, taking every step steadily, but even so, the impact of the river water caused his body to sway slightly.

Hu Xiaobei seemed to be following An Xiaoqian nonchalantly, but in fact he had already activated his spiritual perception ability and was exploring the surrounding situation.

The shadow was attached to An Xiaoqian's wig, and disappeared along her long hair into the inside of her skirt, reaching her feet.

The shadow was like a loyal guard, secretly protecting her from the impact of the rushing water.

Whenever An Xiaoqian was shaken by the water flow, Hu Xiaobei would secretly control the shadow to give her extra support and deal with any danger that might arise at any time.

With Shadow's hidden protection from head to toe, An Xiaoqian took every step with absolute certainty, and there was naturally no problem with her safety.

But she could also feel the rapid flow of the water around her, and every step required a lot of effort.

Fortunately, both her inner and outer garments were made of waterproof materials, especially her underwear, which had a very strong waterproof capability, so she didn't feel much cold.

Furthermore, although Hu Xiaobei claimed that he could lift two of himself, An Xiaoqian thought it was a bit of bragging.

But he is indeed very strong. With him behind her, An Xiaoqian feels more at ease and has a natural sense of security.

The crowd moved forward slowly in the rushing water of the waterfall. Every step was full of hardship, as if they were engaged in a difficult battle with nature.
