Chapter 89: Riding the horse galloping, Fang shows the true character of a man.
After spending almost five days on the crew, Zhou Xing finally ushered in his first scene in [Emperor Wu of Han].
Director Hu Mei arranged for martial arts coaches to teach Zhou Xing’s sword skills early in the morning. His scene today was Emperor Wu of Han asked Huo Qubing to dance the sword to express his attitude.
The actions of the martial arts guide design are not complicated and there are not too many fancy ones. After all, it is not a martial arts movie, and it also follows a documentary-style routine, which is even simpler for Zhou Xing.
"Depending on your skills, have you practiced before?" The martial arts director said that he had no sense of accomplishment.
Zhou Xing just smiled: "Hongquan and Wing Chun who have practiced for a while."
"No wonder."
In fact, after playing so many villains, the only one who really showed Zhou Xing’s kung fu foundation was the drama [Sha Polang]. In this drama, he was just a supporting role, and even fewer people in the mainland knew that he had done martial arts.
"I'll teach it so soon?" Hu Mei looked at the martial arts director in confusion.
The martial arts director couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he taught him. He could tell whether his kung fu was available at the first step. Judging from Zhou Xingwujian's skills, he was no worse than him. If he hadn't designed the movements, he would probably not have used him.
Originally, Hu Mei planned to let Zhou Xing practice in the morning and shoot in the afternoon or evening to avoid delaying the shooting progress too much. After hearing what the martial arts coach said, the lunch box was given at noon, and Zhou Xing's play was arranged in the first show in the afternoon.
In fact, this sword dance lasted quite a long time, nearly one minute, one minute on stage, and ten years of hard work off stage are not just a joke, so this section of Hu Mei was originally planned to be shot in three sections.
Zhou Xing was wearing a short white dress and slap in a man-made costume. When he appeared in the hall, everyone's eyes lit up. Chen Baoguo smiled and said, "Oh, whose young man in the brocade clothes is this?"
"Haha~~~" There was a chuckling on the spot. Although it was a bit ridiculous, Zhou Xing's look was indeed amazing.
"The Emperor Wu of Han, Act 69, Mirror 1439, action."
Above the hall, a young man in white saw a long sword shaking in his hand. Under the sunlight, the sword light was dazzling, and the white clothes were fluttering. After the young man shook a few sword flowers, he stabbed, picked, or cut. The sword moves were not fancy, but had an inexplicable beauty. He saw him fly up and jumped up high, then gently tapped on the pillars of the hall, like a dragonfly slashing the water, strolling in the garden. Then, with this skill of using force, the man stabbed in the air in an extremely relaxed posture.
"Okay, okay, okay." Hu Mei even forgot to shout, but said three good things in a row. This section was so beautiful, not just the sword dance, but more importantly, through this section of sword dance, Zhou Xing showed the temperament of an ancient noble man in Huo Qubing to the fullest, especially the smile that was slightly proud but slightly implicit when he finally took the move.
Hu Mei even thought that when this episode was broadcast, it would probably attract many female viewers’ eyes to shine?
"I can't tell, you kid really have a bad chance." Chen Baoguo patted Zhou Xing's shoulder and smiled. He originally thought that it was rare for Zhou Xing's acting skills to reach first-class standards among younger actors, but he didn't expect that he would "hide" such a skill.
No wonder Zhou Xing was able to stand out in a closed and xenophobic circle in Xiangjiang. I guess no director would dislike such a literary and martial actor?
After Zhou Xing showed this, other actors in the crew were much more friendly to him. In fact, the actor industry is not much different from other industries. It is not something that makes people convinced if you have a high position. How can people who have poor professional skills just rely on flattery?
In the next two days, Hu Mei specially arranged Zhou Xing's scenes very well. First, Zhou Xing's schedule is relatively fast, and second, he still has some scenes of fighting on the grassland. You should know that every extra day is money, and the rent of horses alone accounts for a large part of the crew's budget, which is really unaffordable.
Soon, Zhou Xing's scenes at the Qin Palace ended, and together with some other actors in the crew, Hu Mei naturally had to go to the dispatching station. The Qin Palace asked several deputy directors to host some scattered shots.
The Ulan Butong Grassland was once part of the royal Mulan paddock of the Qing Dynasty. It was lush with lush water and lush vegetation. When Zhou Xing and his group took a car to the shooting camp, it was already evening. There were stars in the sky and unknown insects sounds heard in their ears, as if they were in another world.
After a day of hard work, Zhou Xing almost dripped his pillow. When he woke up, it was already bright.
As soon as I left the tent, I looked around from a distance, and I felt comfortable when I saw it. Occasionally, I could see some horsewomen riding horses, which made people yearn for a longing.
Although Zhou Xing can ride a horse, the filming of horse riding in Xiangjiang is a formality, and he can't ride very far at all. He finished filming without even sitting on a hot scene.
While having breakfast, Director Hu Mei said to everyone: "You should hurry up and learn horse riding from the herdsmen these days. Don't start filming officially. I'll ask for a stand-in with me."
Everyone laughed. Most of the actors were old and riding horses was no problem, and those who couldn't ride naturally looked bitter.
After breakfast, Zhou Xing went to the ranch with everyone. The herders here speak poor Chinese, and if they accidentally missed it, they had no idea what he was talking about.
Zhou Xing didn't care. He still knew the basic movements of riding a horse, mainly because he didn't have the chance to run. In fact, this thing is similar to driving. Practice makes perfect.
When the herdsmen put on horse harnesses, Zhou Xing had no intention of being humble. He gently tapped on the stirrup and turned over the horse. His movements were chic and coherent, which made several actors who could not ride horses so jealous.
Seeing Zhou Xing's actions, the herdsman knew that he could ride a horse, so he ignored him and continued to harness the rest of the horses.
Zhou Xing had already started walking on a horse, and Lu Jianming, who played Wei Qing, suggested: "Why don't we compete?"
Speaking of which, Lu Jianming is also Zhou Xing's senior, he graduated from Beijing Film Academy in 1988.
The other people looked at each other, and some said that they were not good at riding skills and did not participate. In the end, only four people stood at the starting point.
Chen Baoguo volunteered to be the referee: "From here, all the way to the woods opposite, whoever arrives first will win, what if he wins?"
"Okay." All four of them were full of fighting spirit, and Hu Mei did not stop him when she saw this. Filming was a very stressful job. In her spare time, it was not a bad thing to adjust her mood.
"Prepare, start!" With Chen Baoguo's order, Zhou Xing and Lu Jianming were already running, and the other two were one step slower, and they were several positions short of their bodies in an instant.
"Ah~~~" The herdsmen on the side whistled when they saw this, and some directly joined the ranks of catching up.
For a moment, people neighed and horses roared, and the whole pasture seemed to be lively as if it was a festival.
"Haha, Senior Lu, don't fall behind." Zhou Xing laughed a long time, feeling the adrenaline stimulated, and his blood was boiling.
"If you want to beat me, practice for another two years." Lu Jianming always went hand in hand, without any disadvantage.
Chapter completed!
