Chapter 91: Inner Demons Are Near
Chen Zhixing and Liao Fan thought very well before starting the filming, and they believed Xu Haofeng's lies. They thought that even if they didn't practice well and had a substitute to go into battle, they would still have some confidence in their hearts.
But they forgot to do market research, and Xu Haofeng didn't need a stand-in at all.
As the old saying goes, "Literary drama requires going to bed, and martial arts drama requires going to bed." He has just tried it.
No need for Wi-Fi, no need for a substitute, it’s just a hardcore statement.
As a result, Chen Zhixing couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness in his heart as he watched Assistant Liao Fan apply medicine to him in distress.
"Apply medicine to me, why are you grinning?"
Liao Fan looked at Chen Zhixing's appearance and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"It's you now, and I will be here soon."
Chen Zhixing didn't realize that Xu Haofeng was a smiling tiger. When he wasn't filming, he was just like Zhou Papi.
But I have to say that Xu Haofeng really has something, and a lot of it.
His second grandfather, Li Zhongxuan, was known as "Mr. Second" in the world and studied under Tang Weilu, the master of Xingyi and "Sai Baiyuan".
Xu Haofeng is not only a lover of martial arts, but also a direct descendant of Xingyi Quan.
Since he personally demonstrated in battle, Chen Zhixing and Liao Fan had no complaints.
...
"You two need to move quickly and cleanly in this section."
Finally, it was time for Chen Zhixing's scene, and his opposite role was Qiu Jirong, a direct descendant of the Qiu School of Peking Opera.
Xu Haofeng believes that it is difficult to practice martial arts diligently, running around to make a living or being embarrassed by personnel, not practicing enough, and having muscle control skills, and martial arts people are not as good as dancers. There are no successors to martial arts stars, so it is a good idea to look to the dance industry to select talents.
So he selected a few familiar faces from China Dance to make guest appearances.
Li Bai before and Qiu Jirong now both became popular on this dance program.
Compared with Li Bai's deliberate display of clumsiness, Qiu Jirong's airs were quite good-looking.
After all, the pioneers of today's kung fu movies, the members of the Seven Little Fortunes, are all derived from the lineage of Peking Opera.
Compared with Chen Zhixing, who studied for a month, he spent several times practicing.
"Holding a knife and rubbing your hands, do you know?"
Both men shook their heads.
Xu Haofeng explained: "You have to show the rules in your confrontation. Just hit it. This scene only lasts for more than 20 seconds. Just remember the rules."
He kept referring to the word "rules", which made Chen Zhixing think about it.
When actors are acting, they are not just doing word problems, they are also doing reading comprehension, trying to understand the meaning behind the script and characters.
Throughout the film he talks about rules and breaks them.
The rules of footwork, the rules of master and apprentice, the rules of martial arts.
The character Geng Liangchen is a born rebel.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhixing couldn't help but have some enlightenment in his heart.
As an action designer, Xu Haofeng follows the rules, but as a director, he has to adapt to local conditions.
Chen Zhixing has watched the entire film, more than once. The highlight of the entire film is not the street fight at the end, but Geng Liangchen's first challenge.
It was a hearty fight, and it was overwhelming to watch.
Except for the short time, there are almost no shortcomings.
There is a curtain to protect you from the rain, full protective gear, a blue floor mat to plan the area, and many referees keeping score.
It can be said that this scene set the tone for the entire film's fighting.
They are all fights within the rules. Now the inheritance of martial arts in Jinmen has become a business and no real kung fu is taught.
But with just such a 20-second scene, Chen Zhixing and the two spent the whole day.
This is without Xu Haofeng's strict requirements.
Liao Fan was a little envious, why the role was not so easy for him.
...
"Do you think we can beat him?"
Crouching under the wall at the entrance of an old alley, the two of them were sucking on cigarette butts.
The cigarettes on both of them had already been used up during the intense shooting, so they had no choice but to go to the props team to borrow this old-fashioned dry cigarette.
If you take one bite, it will pass through your lungs and kill you.
Chen Zhixing really wanted to try the feeling of smoking in his lungs, but it was just an idea. He took a breath and said, "As I said, half a dose. If you hit me, I will definitely not be able to beat him, but he will never beat me to death."
Not easy."
Liao Fan sighed, "This old boy is so capable, why is he so narrow-minded?"
He likes Xu Haofeng very much, even admires him a little, but he is also very dissatisfied. There is no contradiction between the two.
What I admire is his shining point. He is versatile in screenwriting, acting, and directing, and he is amazing in every aspect.
The dissatisfaction was that the other party was targeting him. Compared to Chen Zhixing's looseness, even if he made a mistake in his movements, the other party would catch him and shoot him again.
"You don't have to worry about this." Chen Zhixing spat out the tobacco leaves in his mouth, "The reason why I'm not very demanding is because my camera needs to be cut. Your camera is very demanding because you basically don't edit it."
"What kind of medicine do you think he sells in his gourd?"
Liao Fan sighed. When Chen Zhixing said this, he became even more confused. How can there be any martial arts drama without cutting off the camera?
He scratched his head in frustration and felt a dull pain in his palm.
Two days ago, Wu Xing was so unsure of his performance that he almost split his bones into pieces.
"When will this day end?"
As he sighed, a shout suddenly came from beside him: "You two stole the props from the crew again!"
The two of them stood up immediately, and when they turned around, they saw Song Jia with a smile on her face. She also had a cigarette in her hand.
If you look closely, you can see that they are also props from the production crew.
"You scared me." Liao Fan rolled his eyes and wiped the cigarette butt that fell on his body.
"What are you talking about here?"
Song Jia held the hem of her cheongsam and squatted beside the two of them carelessly.
"We are thinking about when the person in my film will appear." Chen Zhixing felt disappointed. This crew is full of yang and yin, and the protagonist group is full of men. It's really not interesting.
As for Song Jia? She is considered to be two men. She can go to Xu Haofeng directly when she is dissatisfied with the script.
Using oneself to save others, at least Chen Zhixing did not dare to compare with Xu Haofeng.
Song Jia poked Chen Zhixing's forehead with his finger, "You think about this every day. You can't live without a woman, right?"
"The key point is that sister, you are so busy every day that you don't have time to stand on the bridge and look at the scenery."
Chen Zhixing tilted his chin, "Then why are we, the scenery-gazers, looking at you upstairs?"
Song Jia smiled and said, "Why is your little slippery mouth so sweet?"
Liao Fan was helpless, how could Chen Zhixing, the grandson of Chen Zhixing, be so good at flirting.
"Don't worry, the little girl who plays the tea soup seller is about to join the cast."
"Oh." Chen Zhixing's tone was cold.
He wasn't really looking forward to it either. After all, there was nothing to look forward to. He just wanted to add some freshness to the boring life of the crew and hotel.
If I remember correctly, this role was played by Medina. It cannot be said that this girl is not good-looking, but she is not his cup of tea anyway.
They both belong to an exotic place, but Tong Liya is much better than her.
How does that sentence come about? Once upon a time, the sea was all water...ah, that's right, that's it!
"I heard that he is a newcomer. He made his debut with a classic IP..."
Yes, Medina made her debut with "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".
"Then I acted in a romantic drama."
"Flowers are neither flowers nor mist", Chen's journey is more certain.
Both are works by Aunt Qiong Yao and are highly discussed, but she has not received much attention.
"By the way, I remembered."
Song Jia patted her strong thigh, "It seems to be called Song Tie!"
