Entertainment: Who still wants to fall in love when there are cheats?

Chapter 33: Newcomer's Behavior

Li Boda grabbed the saddle, took a strong stride, and jumped onto the horse.

With a gentle pull on the reins, the horse, which had been standing still, began to move forward slowly. After walking around twice, Li Boda rode the horse back to its original position and made an OK gesture towards the director.

The director nodded upon seeing this.

"Exon!"

After hearing the sound, Li Boda pulled the reins, exerted a little force with his legs, and the horse under his crotch began to run. Behind Li Boda, there was a group of people playing his subordinates.

This kind of simple scene is also very simple for Li Boda. After all, any filming requires considering the movement, lighting, photography and other aspects.

But for a one-man show like this, the lighting and photography are all following Li Boda. As long as Li Boda pays a little attention, there will be no problems.

At this time, a masked man appeared in front of Li Boda and others. It was the Black Mountain Demon, the final BOSS in the movie A Chinese Ghost Story.

However, in this TV series, the Black Mountain Demon is like a small BOSS.

"Seven Nights Saint Lord? I haven't even kneeled before your father Liu Dao, how can you?"

"Master Heishan, please put Xiaoqian down! Qiye will definitely thank you."

"Since you call me Master, I will teach you, the younger generation, that this woman is mine! Don't even think about it!"

"When I was a child, the Queen Mother often spoke of the tyranny of Master Black Mountain in the Demonic Path. Back then, no one in the Yinyue Dynasty dared to disrespect Master Black Mountain. But! The waves behind push the waves ahead, and today the dynasty has changed. If you don't turn back, don't blame me for drawing my sword mercilessly!"

"Ah? The Heaven-Severing Sword Art? Boy! Stop putting on airs in front of me! Your father, Liu Dao, toiled for a hundred years to master this peerless magic skill! How could a mere demon like you, with your insignificant cultivation level, possibly master the Heaven-Severing Sword Art?"

"I'll ask you again, man, are you going to let it go or not?"

"Don't let it go!"

Li Boda stared at the Black Mountain Old Demon with cold eyes, holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand. The next moment, Li Boda flew into the air, then drew his sword and chopped it down with force!

Although it was difficult to control the center of gravity due to the wire hanging on his body, Li Boda's center of gravity remained stable after he performed the downward chopping movement, and his body did not shake significantly.

Li Boda even had time to put his sword back into the scabbard, and his movements were still graceful and relaxed.

Seeing Li Boda's performance, the director nodded with satisfaction.

"Cut! This scene is over. Continue preparing for the next set of shots!"

Hearing the director's words, the cameras, lights and other equipment were quickly moved.

Afterwards, Li Boda was also put down by Wei Ya and sat back on the horse.

"Ekson!" Li Boda was hung up by the wire again. While being hung up, Li Boda adjusted his posture, making his figure look a little strange.

"Stuck! Passed!"

In fact, this second shot of hanging from the horse's back by a wire needs to be played in reverse.

Then it is connected in reverse with the shot of Li Boda using the sword technique in the sky.

This creates a scene where Li Boda flies up, uses the sword-drawing technique, then descends from the sky and lands calmly back on his horse.

The reason for filming in this way is that the scene of falling back onto the horse's back from the sky would be more difficult to shoot.

On the one hand, it is because the person is hanging in the air, and it is not easy to adjust the center of gravity. Secondly, no matter how human-like the horse is, it is still an animal after all. If the horse runs away when the person falls, it is not a big deal. But if the horse suddenly kicks or kicks directly, it may turn into an accident.

Of course, with Li Boda's current skills, the action of falling from the sky and returning to the horse's back is not difficult for him. It cannot be said that he can pass it in one try. At most, he can pass it after two or three attempts.

But, what can I say, as a new actor, you should perform when you should perform, and don’t perform when you shouldn’t!

You have to know that "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a TV series, not a movie. The shooting of a TV series does not need to be so detailed. Even if there are some bloopers in some TV series, as long as it does not affect the viewing experience too much, the crew and even the director will not care.

Secondly, it is now late at night, already in the early morning, and everyone in the crew is very tired. At this time, even the director thinks that it is better to do less than more, and try to finish the filming as quickly as possible so that everyone can have a rest after filming.

At this time, you jumped out and said that although the role was difficult, I could complete it, and there would be no problem as long as I shot it twice more.

If you really say that, just wait to be scolded. Even if the director agrees, the other people in the crew and the people behind the scenes may curse your ancestors in their hearts.

Of course, if Li Boda was the protagonist of this play and a very popular, well-known and popular star, people would actually praise you for your professionalism if you did this. But what is Li Boda now?
To be more precise, Li Boda doesn't even have a single work to show for himself. He's practically a complete newcomer. Furthermore, this is a Hong Kong crew, with 80% of the crew, from the director to the screenwriter to the behind-the-scenes staff, being from Hong Kong. You're just a newcomer from the mainland, and you're being so critical? Are you being rude?

Maybe when you go back to filming, someone will cause trouble for you, tamper with props or other things, and affect your filming state. You can't get angry, so you can only accept it.

So, as a newcomer, don't think about showing off your abilities.

Especially in a crew like "A Chinese Ghost Story" where almost all the cast members are from Hong Kong, you should not show off your skills.

Just stay there honestly and do whatever you are told to do. If they say your scene is acceptable, don't be picky and say this is not good or that is not good, and ask for a retake or something like that.

Li Boda had encountered a similar situation when he was a supporting actor before.

A special guest, it is obvious that the play has no role. If he is killed, the filming will be over. However, after being stabbed by the sword, he still struggles, saying that people should not die like this, how should they struggle, and how long it will take for a person to die.

Then, this person was kicked out and even his role was taken away. In the end, not only did he not get paid, but even when he wanted to eat a boxed lunch from the crew, the person who distributed it refused to give it to him and called him a fool.

So as a newcomer, most of the time, you really shouldn't be in a hurry to show off your abilities. Instead, you should keep them to yourself, because at this time others will dislike you, and almost no one will stand on your side, even if you are not wrong.
