Chapter 551 Restraint, official shooting

When the two played against each other, Zhou Xia instructed Er Di and told her some things to pay attention to after the end of the episode.

Although Zhou Xia has never worked with Cheng Nong, he has seen this movie, and he is also a director, and he is very familiar with Cheng Nong's style, and knows what kind of effect he wants.

Then point out all the performance problems to Er Di now, let her do more preparations, then when the shooting tomorrow, at least in literary dramas other than martial arts, Er Di's performance should not have any major problems.

After more than ten hours on the plane, both of them were full of sleep. They had visited the beautiful scenery of Paris before, and they got in touch with each other.

Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, because jokes were made from time to time during the confrontation, and the two of them got along more easily.

Seeing that the time was past twelve o'clock, although Er Di was reluctant to give up, he still took the initiative to say: "Boss, thank you, it's too late, and I have to film tomorrow, so I'll go back first."

"Oh, that's good. If you have time tomorrow night, come over again, and I'll help you go through the rest of the scene." Although Zhou Xia was still not sleepy, she agreed after thinking about it.

Sleep is very important to a girl, and if she goes to the set tomorrow in a bad state, it will be another matter.

"Then I'm leaving." Er Di glanced at Zhou Xia, and walked out with the script.

For no reason, Zhou Xia wanted to hold back the opponent's impulse, but he still suppressed it.

It's rare to have such a girl who makes him feel relaxed and happy when he gets along with her without any burdens. He doesn't want to end this sense of distance too soon.

And even if he has Erdi like this, I am afraid that in the eyes of the other party, he will think that he does not cherish her very much.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Zhou Xia came to his senses and was not thinking about it anymore.

I didn't talk all night, and when I got up the next morning, some crew members came to talk to me. After a few people got into the car, they headed for the Château de Chantilly.

Chantilly Castle also belongs to the Paris region, and it takes about 40 minutes by car.

There are not many scenes here, just a few people contacting Catherine, and then she also joined the gang of grand thieves.

Catherine is a countess with a strong background in France. Her ancestors were members of the Eight-Power Allied Forces invading army. They plundered many cultural relics from China. Some of them were particularly precious and were hidden in the castle. The outside world thought it had long been lost.

After Zhou Xia got off the car, he soon saw Cheng Nong and others who had just arrived not far away.

"Zhou Xia, you're finally here, welcome to the group!" Cheng Nong was enthusiastic and direct, and hugged Zhou Xia in a western way when he came up.

Then the two walked forward while talking about the filming of Zhou Xia's related scenes.

As it has been promised before, when filming, those involving Zhou Xia will focus on shooting as much as possible.

In the French scene, there were not many people except Cheng Nong himself, and the filming took four days in total.

Cheng Nong and the others arrived one day earlier and made preparations for the shooting in advance, so they could start working directly today.

Time is precious, and the old castle still needs to receive tourists, so the actors involved in the scene must hurry up to shoot.

The French Countess Catherine is played by the French actress Bai Luna. She is a young actor who is only 18 years old. She is very beautiful and has a lot of characteristics.

Zhou Xia couldn't figure out how Cheng Nong found such an actress.

Seeing Zhou Xia's suspicious eyes, Cheng Nong couldn't help revealing the eyes of a fellow man, and smiled and whispered to him that it was recommended by France.

Since filming abroad involves a lot of review issues, if a local actor can be selected, it will be much more convenient for review and approval, location shooting, etc. That's why the director team chose Bai Luna.

Otherwise, with so many mixed-race actors in Xiangjiang, it would not be necessary to find a foreign actor.

It was the first time for Zhou Xia and Cheng Nong to work together, but for a big man like the other party, Zhou Xia had already known him from various reports and news.

Cheng Nong works very hard to make movies, and many action scenes are done by himself, and the use of doubles is relatively rare.

He has been injured many times in the past few decades of filming, almost every year he suffers a serious injury.

Compared with Zhou Xia who was hospitalized due to the blast while filming "The Expendables 2" at the beginning of the filming, Cheng Nong suffered many injuries, many of which left bloody skin and even musculoskeletal injuries.

Cheng Nong has directed several action movies before, and he is no stranger to directing again this time. He also turned off the machine and asked the actors to try it out before shooting.

Just wait until all departments are ready, and then start shooting.

When Erdi was filming, Zhou Xia found out that the director's requirements were really strict.

When preparing for the action scene, the martial arts instructor demonstrated once so that Er Di could become proficient by himself.

At that time, Zhou Xia became vigilant, anyway, he didn't have many scenes, so he watched and memorized the movements from the sidelines, so he personally gave Erdi the instructions of the martial arts instructor's movements.

Fortunately, Er Di is also very talented in this area, and his movements can be done smoothly, completely and neatly very quickly.

When the director was filming, although the requirements were strict, she did not have any problems with her performance, and she was compared to other actors in the opposite drama.

After several times of filming, the director team had nothing to say, and their attitude towards Er Di became more acceptable.

Seeing that Er Di had finally passed this test, Zhou Xia felt relieved.

Besides, he escorted Er Di in this way, and Xia Hua Film and Television has invested half of the film, and has the right to distribute it in the mainland. Do too much.

This matter did not go wrong, and there was no need to adjust the actors, so the shooting would be smoother.

After shooting the castle, it was two or three days later that involved some Parisian filming.

But Zhou Xia and Er Di didn't appear much in those scenes, they were all background scenes, so they had plenty of time to prepare.

The filming ended that day, and the actors began to leave. As the nominal producer, since Zhou Xia was on the set, he would also keep an eye on some things.

The married class shoots action scenes, especially some props and scene layouts, all have their own routines, and they are also kept secret.

This is not easy for outsiders to see.

But with Zhou Xia's status, it's hard for them to say anything.

And they didn't think that Zhou Xia would learn it after seeing it. After all, some props were brought in early by good luck, and it was enough to arrange them on the spot.

In domestic filming, martial arts has always been an independent circle, and the mainland is a little behind compared to Hong Kong and Taiwan, or there is a relative lack of talent.

After all, we are decades behind in development in this area, so there is naturally a process of learning and catching up.

In this regard, when Zhou Xia was filming his first costume drama, he began to look for people to train martial arts-related talents for the company.

The teachers and brothers he met at Shichahai Sports School, many of them are also engaged in this industry, and many of them have also joined Xiahua Film and Television.

Some people are engaged in martial arts instruction, some are martial arts substitutes, and some are actors.

But even so, Xia Hua's martial arts team still cannot compare with Hong Kong and Taiwan's martial arts teams in this respect.

This is also the reason why he invited Hong Jinbao to be a martial arts instructor when he filmed "Painted Skin 2", and at the same time let him play the big boss of the rebellion.

The Marriage Class is a martial arts team trained by Cheng Nong. They basically don't accept movies other than Cheng Nong, and they have their own characteristics.

Many action designs in Cheng Nong's comedies were designed and discussed by Cheng Nong and them, which is indeed full of Cheng Nong's personal characteristics.

Zhou Xia didn't refuse to play a role this time, and she also wanted to steal the teacher.

"How is it? Can you see the way? My prop, but after several improvements by us, it became like this. Otherwise, if you fall down, the smashing effect will not be good, and you may even get injured."

The staff on the set were wrapping up their work and packing up their things. Zhou Xia was carefully watching and studying a prop while Cheng Nong finished his work and came over.
