Dare to cook

Chapter 111

"Boss, you can shoot anytime."

"Thank you." Li Xungui, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at the assistant director running over, and nodded:

"Makeup artist, quickly put makeup on the actors."

"Old Zhou and Old Wu, when the actors are putting on makeup, they will tell you more about the play."

"After all the actors put on their makeup, let's take a trial shot first."

Upon hearing this, the makeup artist team immediately pulled the actors into temporary makeup artists.

Screenwriter Zhou Jingchuan and action director Wu Kun also followed in.

In fact, by the time the crew reached this stage of filming, staff from various departments had already developed a tacit understanding of cooperation.

Zhou Jingchuan and Wu Kun also don't need to give the lead speeches too carefully.

What to do, the leading actors Jiang Yuqi and Feng Ziyi have already figured it out.

Li Xungui asked them to tell the play, mainly for Yao Yu.

Yao Yu had never been with the crew before, so he came in as a temporary substitute. He couldn't help but explain some things clearly.

In the dressing room, Zhou Jingchuan and Wu Kun talked very carefully, and Yao Yu listened very carefully.

After comparing it with the detailed storyboard in his hand, Yao Yu already had a clear grasp of this scene.

When he played "Dou Wentao" last time, the system gave him an actor's self-cultivation book, which raised his acting skills to the level of an actor.

That skill book not only improved Yao Yu's acting skills.

There is also the comprehension of the script, how to express oneself with the camera, and other bits and pieces that actors need to learn. Because of the system, Yao Yu directly understands it.

It can be said without exaggeration.

If Yao Yu is determined to enter the entertainment circle.

With his current acting skills and appearance, plus Li Xungui's help, he will become a quasi-A-list star in less than three years.

The screenwriter and action director explained all the key points of the scene. After the actors put on their makeup, the crew entered the trial shooting stage.

The contents of the last two major dramas can be divided according to the script progress:

Entering the ruins of the Sword Palace for the first time - exploring the ruins - fighting between all parties - the cannon fodder collective GG - the protagonist and the villain start a decisive battle - the protagonist kills all the villains - the heroine is injured - the protagonist singles out the last villain - kills the villain - Game over!

Among them, Li Xungui had already finished filming the plot of the cannon fodder forces from all sides fighting in chaos yesterday.

Yao Yu and Feng Ziyi only need to take over the plot and start shooting from the battle between the protagonist and the villain.

Because the first pass was a test shoot.

Except for the actors and the wire group being in place, the other camera, props, and lighting departments have not moved for the time being.

After the record was played, Lu Mengsheng (Feng Ziyi) and more than a dozen younger brothers in black clothes and black capes surrounded Gu Shangyin (Yao Yu) and Yan Qingxue (Jiang Yuqi).

At the same time, two of Gu Shangyin's friends were surrounded - male No.11 and male No.13.

However, the roles of these two supporting actors are basically over here.

All they have to do is cover their wounds and fall aside, pretending to be half dead and unable to fight anymore, so they can only lie down and eat melons.

After Lu Mengsheng surrounded the hero and heroine with his younger brothers, there was a beep, and then an order was given, and more than a dozen younger brothers flew towards Gu Shangyin and Gu Shangyin with the wires hanging in the air.

While rushing towards Gu Shangyin, they had to act like throwing a large number of throwing knives in mid-air.

And Gu Shangyin and Yan Qingxue had to dance their swords quickly, pretending to block all the non-existent flying knives.

——This scene of fighting wits and courage across the air looks really stupid.

However, every actor was tight-lipped.

No one on the crew dared to laugh.

In an instant, those boys in black cloaks rushed to Gu Shangyin.

Gu Shangyin also raised his sword to meet them, leaped high, kicked the two of them flying, and then fought with several other black cloaks.

And the heroine Yan Qingxue, in order to protect the male eleven and male NO.

Just like that, after three or five rounds of ping-pong-pong, Lu Mengsheng, who switched to the ghost-headed broadsword as his weapon, also rushed over, and fought three moves with Gu Shangyin.

Gu Shang's invisibility is light, and while fighting Lu Mengsheng, he killed other minions at the same time.

It didn't take long for more than a dozen black cloak boys to be cut down by Gu Shangyin and Yan Qingxue to only three.

The three younger brothers quickly retreated to Lu Mengsheng's side, and after placing two poses, they had to cooperate with Lu Mengsheng to kill again.

At this time, Li Xungui, who was sitting behind the camera monitor, shouted loudly: "Crack!"

The director shouted Ka, and everyone stopped.

Li Xungui looked excited:
"Not bad! Everyone cooperated very well, take a break, and the shooting will start in 5 minutes!"

Not only Li Xungui, but the rest of the crew were deeply shocked.

The action scenes in Xianxia dramas are a test of the actors' skills.

Especially the more and more complex the movements, the higher the requirements for the actors.

Feng Ziyi and Jiang Yuqi are able to perform such high-intensity action scenes because they have good physical fitness and high coordination. In addition, they did a lot of targeted training before joining the group, so they will not be strenuous in performing such scenes.

But Yao Yu was different.

He is a pure rookie.

Still a temporary member.

I have never acted with the actors of the crew at all, but the familiar fluency shown is something that many actors who specialize in martial arts action scenes may not be able to achieve.

I'm afraid, even if the film king Zou Yu is allowed to act in this play, it will be difficult to do better than Yao Yu, right?

Thinking of this, the staff of the crew also lifted their spirits.

After all, if this movie becomes a big hit, they will find jobs in other crews in the future, and their salary will be improved.

After the actors rested for 2 minutes, the crew began to officially start filming.

This time, lighting, props and other departments also took action.

Several lighting engineers also took their positions, those who should raise the board, and those who should turn on the lights.

In the props team, several workers also started pouring liquid nitrogen into the smoke canister for free under the guidance of the prop master.

Those liquid nitrogen poured into the special smoke equipment will turn into a cloud-like mist, and then spread out from the smoke nozzle, thus adding some misty feeling of cloud and smoke to the shooting picture.

In front of the camera, other extras were already in place, lying on the floor pretending to be corpses in various backgrounds.

After the actors are in place and the wire unit is in place again.The cameras arranged in six directions were also turned on at the same time, capturing the figures of the three leading actors from all angles.

The field record hit the board again.

Many actors did it all over again as they rehearsed just now.

This time, everyone performed well.

Among the leading actors, the lines are connected smoothly, the tone of the dialogue is ok, and the facial expressions of Lu Mengsheng (Feng Ziyi) and Yan Qingxue (Jiang Yuqi) are even more faultless.

In comparison, Yao Yu, who moves neatly but has a straight face, is a bit different.

This is not to say that Yao Yu cannot perform Gu Shangyin's charm.

He is just a stand-in. After the two scenes are filmed, he will use a head-changing technique to replace his face with Li Xungui's.

When he thought about his handsome figure being combined with Li Guapi's unlucky appearance, Yao Yu felt extremely angry.

Therefore, he didn't bother to work on his facial expressions.
