After getting Shidi at the start

Chapter 106 Playing handsomely is more important than anything else
After dinner, it was supposed to be rest time in the evening.

However, Li Mingji had to go to the action group to practice, so he said goodbye to Brother Wang and the others.

After arriving at the training room arranged by the crew for the action crew, the action director first told Li Mingji a message: "Director Zhang has made an arrangement, and the action scenes will start tomorrow afternoon, because they have all accumulated, so we may have to focus on shooting. You may be tired by then."

What he said was the truth, so it was more than a burden.

Although Li Mingji has been here for training these days, he only uses the little time he has to rest. To be honest, it is not enough.

What can be done is to be proficient in one or two scenes, and the rest depends on the on-site coaching, or let the double play more.

And with such a body with almost no foundation, it was a series of fighting scenes. It was foreseeable that he was not only sweating, but he probably suffered from muscle and bone pain every day.

"Well, let's start practicing quickly, don't waste time."

Getting along these days, the action director is also used to his occasional self-assessment, and everyone is willing to listen.

The main reason is that such a big-name star is leading by example. This is their job, and there is no reason to refuse.

"Huh...huh..."

After a period of rehearsal, Li Mingji stopped to rest, and was immediately out of breath.

It's not that his physical strength is so poor, it's mainly because he worked on the set for a whole day during the day, and he came to practice extra before he felt astigmatism.

Seeing him like this, the movement director couldn't help coming over to persuade him: "Otherwise, let's stop here today, you go back and rest first, and adjust your body well."

Li Mingji thought for a while, then said: "Then I won't practice anymore, but I don't need to go back. It's the same with me here. Can I ask the teacher some questions while watching their training?"

The action director's surname is Yuan, which is a bit rare. He is a short but solid middle-aged man with a solid personality. Naturally, he can only agree to Li Mingji's request.

Then he nodded and said, "Yes, what do you want to ask?"

"Well, what do you think is the key to the fight scene in this play?"

"The key..." The action director glanced at him and said with a smile, "Don't tell me that you didn't prepare at all before, then you should have the answer, right?"

"Director Zhang told me before that the main requirement for this drama is to be handsome and neat. On the one hand, it can make the action scenes more eye-catching and attract fans, and on the other hand, it also conforms to the characteristics of the protagonist."

Director Yuan nodded and said: "Director Zhang is right, you have practiced for so many days, you should also feel a little bit, we are doing action scenes in this direction.

"There is actually nothing wrong with the previous set of movements. It also has a sharp style, and you can achieve a clean and eye-catching effect through editing, but it is difficult for you to perform the movements, so I decided to change."

Li Mingji nodded, he actually knew this before.

"But in fact, you have a problem now. I don't know if you have noticed. It is also your biggest problem now. It is that when you are doing slow motion demonstrations together, your performance is very good, but once you make you fast When you get up, your movements are easily deformed.

"This will make the actors who cooperate with you uncomfortable. If the cooperation is not in place, the movements will not be beautiful. Although the effect of editing can be used to cover up the past, it is still easy to see the flaws, and it will also affect the later work. quantity."

As an action director, he obviously has his own pride. If he can actually make an action, he definitely doesn't want to rely on editing.

Of course, the current reality is that in terms of action scenes, many film and television dramas just like to catch and edit, and also like to use slow motion. , it becomes something poisonous and harmful.

This is why audiences are becoming less and less interested in action scenes now, because there is no sincerity at all.

Actors don’t have the foundation to practice, and they can be a stand-in if they don’t play well. In fact, this has been around for a long time, and the audience won’t find it surprising. Some people just like to fool the audience, or they feel that they can fool the audience, so they came up with All kinds of routines come.

The audience may still be fooled at the beginning, but as time goes by, they will start to get bored, and then develop a rebellious psychology.

The crew of "Bodyguard" might have gone down this old road. After all, they chose Li Mingji in the first place, obviously because of his traffic.

If we take into account Qin Yi's relationship, the crew is asking her to chase stars, and they will not consider issues such as acting skills and the quality of action scenes.

Fortunately, the current Li Mingji is no longer Wuxia Amon of yesterday, and he should be treated with admiration for three days. He may still lack ability, but he is already qualified in attitude.

Listening to the action guide at this time, Li Mingji was not at all annoyed. After all, he is not a fool, nor is he the kind of blindly confident person. It is impossible for him to feel nothing about his problems.

But what can he do, he can only nod with a wry smile and say, "I just don't know, is there any good way to solve it?"

"As I said, it depends on post-editing." The action director said, he laughed first, and then continued: "You are already great now, just do your best, don't be too forced. Give yourself this way Stress is not good, so try to relax.

"You have to know that action scenes are just a part of you. If you can do all the actions well, why do you need an action double?"

Li Mingji thought to himself that it's not that I'm not good at action scenes, but also that my literary skills are relatively average. It's a pity that the double can't be replaced, otherwise even people can be replaced together.

"Many things can be done quickly, but for action scenes, if you don't know it, you can't. You can only let the director see how it goes after the performance. Anyway, I will listen to Director Zhang when the time comes. I will follow what he says. How to do it."

Li Mingji smiled, and said again: "If it is a pose, I can pose a very handsome pose, but when I move, sometimes I can't control it."

Director Yuan nodded, "It's understandable, understandable, so practice while filming, there will always be some effect. But you should also pay attention to your body. If you can't bear it, then it will be a loss to the crew. If you get injured, you will have to pay attention to it." It's a waste of time, isn't it?"

"I know that," Li Mingji thought for a while. Apart from the soreness in his back, he didn't seem to have any problems. In fact, it was more due to fatigue.

But the so-called illness from overwork is inevitable, so he thought for a while, then simply stood up and said, "Well, I'll go back today, rest for the night, and see you tomorrow."

"See you."

……

It seems that it is the next day in a blink of an eye, and the morning is still a literary play.

This time it's the turn of Li Mingji and Weng Chenxi's rival scene, because the difficulty of this scene is not high, that is, No. [-] drives his wife back to the villa, and his wife is answering the phone, and No. [-] plays the background next to him. It only needs facial paralysis, so the progress is also very fast.

Afterwards, we filmed two scenes between the wife and the boss, and the whole morning of filming finally came to an end.

Then came the highlight of the afternoon, the action scene began.

Just like the previous kiss scene, many people probably want to see how Li Mingji fights.

Especially in the same crew, many things will spread. For example, Li Mingji goes to the training room of the action group for extra training every day. Believe it or not, everyone wants to see the results of his "special training".

Qin Yi also came over, but she just stood watching from a distance, followed by her manager, looking at Li Mingji with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Li Mingji didn't care about the onlookers. They just wanted to watch the excitement. Although he knew that his performance might disappoint people and thought, "That's it?", he didn't care. The most important thing was to be yourself.

"Which segment should I shoot first? The one before, right?"

At the beginning, the action team still communicated with the director team, "Well, let's follow the previous order, that part first."

So the filming started from the part of the action that was forced to be interrupted before, that is, the scene where the killers entered the villa and were wiped out by the protagonist No. [-].

As a bodyguard, in the real country, I am afraid it is difficult to encounter such a scene.

In film and television dramas, in order to avoid trouble and possible disputes, the location is naturally not placed in the country, but on an island, and this villa is also set on that island.

Some shootout scenes, car chases and blasting scenes will also take place here.

Of course, it is definitely impossible to find such an island in the real scene. As for the location, as long as the relevant permission is obtained, it will be fine to go to the scene to shoot the scene.

The action at the beginning of this section is relatively simple, basically the protagonist punches and kicks, knocking out all the people who came in, because the strikes are quick and ruthless, making them all lose their fighting power in an instant.

This Li Mingji cooperated with the action actors in the training room before, but now they just put on their costumes.

Although Li Mingji wanted to laugh when he saw them all dressed in black with their heads covered and only two eyes and one mouth exposed, as if they were gangsters, but Li Mingji was serious about fighting.

"Okay, let's go!"

And after two consecutive shots, Director Zhang acted vigorously and immediately announced the end.

Of course, this is also because Li Mingji just didn't pull his hips during this part. Although his performance can only be regarded as unsatisfactory, but when the time comes to edit it, cut the double's movements with the part where he shows his face, and that will be fine.

Then he asked the props team to start arranging the scene, making it a scene of being shot and a mess, and then Li Mingji and the action actors went on stage again.

This time, a part of the gunfight scene was added. Of course, it was just a shooting at the beginning, and it turned into a close combat in the end.

"Action!"
