Chapter 164: Apple.
"Puff." Xu Jinglei couldn't help laughing when she saw Jin Chengwu's broken expression.
Speaking of which, Zhou Xing was really unexpected.
Xu Jinglei is still Zhou Xing's senior sister. After becoming famous as an actor at a young age, she transformed into a director, and she was quite successful. Speaking of which, over the years, the person who mainland actresses envied the most is probably her.
Xu Jinglei has always appeared in the public eye as an art film. She didn't expect to take on such a commercial film. Zhou Xing couldn't help but sigh that he could really do whatever he wanted with money.
"Oh, where are you here? Just so I took all the makeup photos today and I'm about to start taking pictures." Chen Kexin came back from outside.
Zhou Xing and the other two had no objection, but Jin Chengwu touched his stubble in a little depressed manner.
"Let's go, stop being so pretty." Zhou Xing and Andy Lau carried him to the studio on both sides.
The costumes in this drama tend to be gray-black. The only bright-colored costume should be Zhou Xing's yellow jacket.
In May, a movie called "Apple" was asked to be rectified because it was too large and was postponed to release. However, several trailers about this drama appeared on the Internet, with suspected deleted content. Once the trailers were exposed, they caused great controversy. Among them, Fan Bingbing's large-scale shots caused an uproar.
Some criticized and joked on the Internet, and more were abused. Some parents even directly complained to the General Administration to request a complete ban on "Apple".
These passages also pushed the leading actors Fan Bingbing and Tong Dawei to the forefront, especially Fan Bingbing. In fact, domestic public opinion has always been mixed in praise of her, and the majority of them are derogatory, and there are many people who are famous.
Since Gong Li gradually retired from the film industry and Zhang Ziyi went to Hollywood to develop, among the mainland actresses, Fan Bingbing is the only one who can get good resources in Xiangjiang.
Xiangjiang media once revealed that Fan Bingbing recognized a fat man as his godfather, and only with his help would he have such good resources.
This time, Fan Bingbing was even more unable to hold on. She became famous by herself by herself. Entertainment tabloids from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the Three Places reported her gossip news in a real sense.
Of course, such things are not all good things. Oriental Film and Television is very annoyed by this. Seeing that the [Fuse] is about to be released during the summer vacation, Fan Bingbing, as the leading female lead in the play, actually had such a thing. It is impossible to predict whether the impact on this drama is good or bad.
Even Zhou Xing was affected, and Anli received a lot of interview calls. After all, the "Love Call Transfer" before "Zhixing Film and Television" was a hit, and Fan Bingbing was also one of the leading actors.
That is, Zhou Xing is in the crew, otherwise Tong Liya would probably be recorded.
At the end of May, the filming of [Cuan Dixia Village] officially started, and the small "Cuan Dixia Village" suddenly became more lively. A large number of temporary actors joined the group. At the same time, because there were a lot of war and martial arts scenes in this drama, Xiong Xinxin and Zuo Zhaolong won the project together, and at the same time recruited some temporary military marching groups. There were about 60 people in total, which was definitely an unprecedented big scene.
When he led the team for the first time, Zhu Zhaolong was also very serious. Jin Sung-woo was thrown to Zhu Zhaolong by Chen Ke-jin and was tortured to death every day because he had a lot of martial arts scenes to film.
Andy Lau is similar. Although he has experience in filming scenes, he still needs to train. Xu Jinglei's role was originally a Yangzhou Skinny Horse, and she also needs to undergo related training. On the contrary, Zhou Xing was free alone and even had time to catch rabbits with the villagers, which once made Jin Chengwu envious.
"The first act, the first mirror, the action."
This scene is a scene in which Pang Qingyun, Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang take the blame for the three of them. The reason why they chose this scene for shooting is mainly because this scene does not require too many extras and is easier to shoot. It will be a good start on the first day.
Zhao Erhu, played by Andy Lau, bowed his head and entered the cave. Pang Qingyun, played by Zhou Xing, followed behind without expression, and Jiang Wuyang finally entered.
There were three people tied into the cave. Zhao Erhu walked towards the man on the right, and the dagger in his hand pierced into the man's heart, killing him.
At this time, the remaining two people in the cave were panicked, and one of them cursed: "Damn it, why are you doing? You didn't mess with you, are you just passing by your village..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Wuyang stabbed the man hard in the abdomen. The lights in the cave were dim. Jiang Wuyang and Zhao Erhu both looked at Pang Qingyun.
The last man knelt in front of Pang Qingyun and begged in a low voice: "Don't kill me, please..."
"Close-up of the Zhouxing at the No. 3 camera position." Chen Kexin held the walkie-talkie to schedule the service.
At this time, Zhou Xing did not look at the kneeling person at all. He looked at Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang with an expressionless face, then lowered his eyes slightly, lifted the kneeling person, and said softly: "Remember my face, and seek revenge for me in the next life."
After saying that, the knife in his hand gently stroked it, and the man fell to the ground and died without even screaming. His movements were neat and neat.
"Ka, it's not bad, this one has passed." Chen Kexin was very satisfied. The reason why he invited Zhou Xing to play Pang Qingyun was not his martial arts drama. On the contrary, he valued more Zhou Xing's literary dramas. The outside world generally believed that he would focus the martial arts dramas on Zhou Xing. In fact, he was planning to let Andy Lau and Jin Sung-wo take on more martial arts dramas and give Zhou Xing more room for literary dramas.
"Cuandixia Village" is on the front line, and all the deputy directors are busy arranging extras. After two days of running-in, the crew is finally about to start filming the first group scene.
"After a while, you will just take the props and run all the way forward. The director doesn't shout, don't stop, do you know?"
Zhou Xing also mixed in the extras, and this scene is a scene where Jiang Wuyang used steamed buns to grab military rations in the city.
"The letter of title, Act 5, Mirror 86, action."
The deputy director issued an order, and the extras took hoes and took a shoulder pole to run forward. Zhou Xing shrank his hands in his sleeves and ran with them, and the smoke and dust were everywhere along the way.
"Ka! Assistant director, what is this extra? I don't know if I blocked the camera? How did I arrange the position? Do you still want to do it?" Chen Kexin pointed to the monitor and cursed. He was actually not a hot-tempered director, but the investment in this drama was too great, and the pressure in all aspects made him breathless.
The deputy director was scolded and knew that Chen Kexin was unhappy and did not dare to speak. He directly pulled the extra out: "What's going on? You want to be famous? Don't look at your morals. You can match your scene with such a big scene? You can think about it yourself, are you worthy?"
"I...I just want to show my face. I have been an extra for several years and I haven't seen me on TV at home...I think..." The extra was a young man, who looked in his early twenties. After being scolded by the deputy director, he couldn't help crying.
"Just want to show your face? I still want to show your face. This is what you do. When will you become popular, and then tell me about showing your face. What about your group? Can this person be okay? If not, get out of here. Do you know how much money the crew will delay in one minute?" The deputy director yelled cursingly.
"Oh, Director Li, I didn't teach you my fault well, don't be angry." A group rushed over and pulled the extras away. The extras cried all the way, making people feel uncomfortable when they looked at them.
However, Zhou Xing always remained silent. With his status, he said casually, let alone keep him, and it was easy to arrange a supporting role with lines and able to show his face.
But he didn't have so many extras, he helped one today, maybe there will be a second and third tomorrow. Will this scene still be filmed?
The crew is like a small society, with clear operating rules here, and everyone has their own division of roles. Only when each performs his or her duties can he or she present good works.
Everyone also has their own bitter history, but this is not an excuse to break the rules. Audiences will not buy you an extra movie ticket just because you are pitiful. This is reality.
"Call of the Stories, Act 5, Mirror 87, action."
"Roast, rob military rations, hurry."
The filming started again, with the lessons of the extras just now, everyone was cheered up and no one dared to stop the camera anymore. However, the difficulty in shooting of extras is that many things are unpredictable, either this one falls or that one is slower.
A simple running scene was filmed six times, and many extras could not run any longer.
Finally, Chen Kexin said "Click, this one has passed." The extra then sat on the ground and began to breathe heavily.
Zhou Xing didn't feel tired. For him, this amount of exercise was just a warm-up and a hellish life when he was shooting the [fuse].
"A young man, that's not possible? I have to practice."
It was already noon after the filming of the scene. The crew started to give out meals. Zhou Xing filmed a young extra next to him and said with a laugh.
The young extra was a little flattered, but scratched his head embarrassedly: "What are you doing with this? It's better to exercise your acting skills if you have that time."
"Let's say that, in the extra stage, do you still expect the assistant director to see your acting skills? People always choose people based on their body proportions and specialties. If you run fast or have a burly figure, you might get a role that can show off your face and have lines." Assistant Xiaomei brought a lunch box, and Zhou Xing was too lazy to move, so he sat there and started eating.
When the young extras heard this, they suddenly lit up: "Yes, why didn't I expect it? Thank you, Brother Xing."
Zhou Xing just smiled at him and began to lower his head to eat the boxed lunch. His appetite was actually quite large. One boxed lunch was not enough, and assistant Xiaomei took two servings every time.
When the young extras saw Zhou Xing eating such a big brand, they immediately felt that today's lunch box seemed much more delicious than before.
After lunch break, the crew changed to the front line and prepared to film the scene of grabbing military rations in the valley. This scene is much more difficult than running before.
