Perfect Superstar

Parkour is an extreme sport that is popular all over the world nowadays. It takes the daily environment as the sports venue and relies on its own physical ability to quickly, effectively and reliably control any known and unknown environment.

Parkour was first born in France and entered China around 2000. After more than ten years of development, it has become one of the favorite sports for young people in China, and a national parkour competition has also been established. The bonus is very high.

As an emerging fashion sports brand, Senqi's market positioning is young people who like sports, so parkour elements are incorporated into this commercial in order to achieve a publicity effect that resonates with the target group.

The silver horse advertisement invited Lu Chen to represent Sen Qi, and a professional stand-in was chosen for the parkour scene. It should be said that every aspect was considered very carefully. No one thought that there would be a problem on the first day of shooting.

In fact, for parkour sports, injuries are a common occurrence, especially in the absence of perfect equipment protection, it is easy to go wrong. Coach Wang Hai is certainly a professional, and he cannot be exempt from accidents.

But for the director, it couldn't have been worse.

The filming of this commercial is in a hurry, and there is a contract between Yinma Advertising and Senqi. If it is not shown on the screen within the stipulated time, the company's reputation and profits will be greatly damaged.

Otherwise, I wouldn't rush to start filming on the second day of National Day.

Coach Wang's injury made the next filming work very troublesome. Although it is not difficult to find professional parkour athletes in Jinling or the surrounding areas, it is not easy to ask for someone who is about the same height and shape as Lu Chen.

Parkour is more suitable for young people with small stature and flexible movements.

Lu Chen is 180+ tall!

Wang Hai struggled to stand up, his head drooped, his face full of shame: Director, I'm really sorry.

He was professional, but the mistake was low-level and purely careless.

It's not the first time Coach Wang has been working as a stand-in, but it's the first time something went wrong right after the filming started.

It's okay to sprain your own feet, it's not good to delay other people's filming work.

The director smiled bitterly: Forget it, I can't blame you. Who can guarantee that nothing will happen?

I'll ask my assistant to take you to the hospital. It's best to take a picture to see the bones. We'll pay for the medical expenses.

Word-of-mouth is very important in this line of work, unless it is a big-name figure. Otherwise, being mean and ungrateful cannot be mixed up, especially for stuntmen, who earn money by working hard, and they must be responsible for work-related injuries.

The commercial director's surname is Zhong, and he has been in the industry for many years. Knows how to do things.

Wang Hai quickly waved his hand and said, Don't bother, I just hurt my muscles. I can recover after a couple of days with some medicated oil. I don't need to go to the hospital to waste money.

His character is really straightforward.

An assistant brought the medicated oil for him to rub.

Director Zhong sighed helplessly, and asked, Do you know anyone who can come and help?

director...

Before Wang Hai answered, Lu Chen who came over just now said, Let me try!

Director Zhong was speechless: Mr. Lu Chen, if you are injured, it will be even more troublesome!

If there is something wrong with the substitute, then you can change another substitute. If there is a problem with the male lead, can it be changed again?

so funny!

There was even an inexplicable irritability in his heart, and he didn't want to explain it to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen smiled lightly and said, Director Zhong, I do sports a lot. I think I can do simple parkour. Let's shoot the first box-jumping scene first. If there is no problem, how about the second one?

He added: It's better than waiting like this!

This sentence hit the director's Achilles' heel. The scenes in the film and television city are not for nothing. If you can't finish filming today, you have to continue filming tomorrow. Not to mention the cost of time and energy, you have to pay the rent.

Then try it!

Director Zhong gritted his teeth. Said: Okay, you must pay attention to safety, and you must not be brave!

The first shot is jumping over a cardboard box full of flowers, which is not very dangerous in terms of danger.

Lu Chen smiled and said, I know.

Now that a decision has been made. Director Zhong no longer hesitated, and immediately asked his staff to start preparing.

Camera ready, put the camera in place!

You guys don't stand here to watch the excitement, and isolate the tourists here!

Makeup artist, touch up Lu Chen's makeup...

Ten minutes later, he was wearing Senqi sportswear, wearing Senqi running shoes, and carrying a Senqi sports bag. Lu Chen, who can be said to be fully armed, stood on the sidewalk and did a few warm-up moves.

And at the entrance of the flower shop more than ten meters in front of him, there were three large corrugated boxes stacked, and the roses piled inside were as delicate as fire, still with the dew from the morning harvest.

On Lu Chen's left, the photographer controls a high-definition digital camera and is pointing the lens at him.

The camera assistant is always ready to push the track.

Attention all units!

Street chase, first scene first shot.

Action!

Following the director's order, Lu Chen immediately stepped forward and rushed forward.

Since experiencing that strange and long dream, he basically came out to exercise every morning, running + practicing martial arts, and persevered regardless of the weather.

Therefore, running has become one of Lu Chen's deep-rooted daily habits. When he took a step, his movements were very skillful and smooth, without the slightest stiffness or discomfort, and he rushed to the front of the cardboard box while breathing.

The next moment, Lu Chen's left foot stepped heavily on the ground, and the extremely elastic sole gave back a heavy force. At the same time, his right leg was raised and stretched forward, and the whole person soared into the air, instantly rising from a height of more than one meter. Jump over the flower box.

Then land firmly!

In order to ensure Lu Chen's safety, the director specially arranged to lower the height of the carton.

Facts have proved that this is obviously not necessary, Lu Chen's jumping ability is very good, even surpassing Wang Hai!

it is good!

Director Zhong couldn't help shouting, very overjoyed.

Just jumping over the cardboard boxes on the ground, there must be many people who can do it, even easily.

However, from starting, running, assisting, jumping to landing, Lu Chen's movements were all done in one go, as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water, which actually gave people a pleasing feeling, which seemed very unusual.

As Lu Chen said, he exercises regularly, otherwise it would be impossible to dance so beautifully!

Now most of the worries in Director Zhong's heart disappeared in an instant.

There was applause from all around, and the members of the filming team were all applauding Lu Chen's performance.

Few stars have such excellent athletic ability as him.

Although it is simply running and jumping, it can also show the quality and ability of the individual in sports.

However, things were not that simple. When Director Zhong looked back at the filmed footage, he couldn't help showing a wry smile.

He realized that he had actually made a small mistake.

The original arrangement was to have a stand-in jump, so the camera always shoots from the side. Now that Lu Chen is in the battle himself, the side shots are meaningless and even flawed.

In addition, Lu Chen ran a little too fast, and the camera couldn't keep up with it well, so the pictures weren't good enough.

Director Zhong could only invite Lu Chen over and ask him to reshoot after explaining the situation.

Lu Chen nodded and said it was okay.

Lu Chen's cooperative attitude made Director Zhong very fond of him. There are really not many artists like him who respect the director and take their work seriously. Many young people who are new to the circle are very impetuous and very self-righteous.

When making commercials like Director Zhong, he is often overwhelmed by some celebrity entertainers who like to play big names.

For the second reshoot, Director Chung arranged for both front and side camera positions, and added manpower to push the tracks to increase the speed.

This round of filming was completed smoothly, and Lu Chen's performance was still impeccable!

But the action in the second game is troublesome.

Lu Chen needs to run quickly on the sidewalk, step on the steps, jump up, and then support the railing with his hands, use his strength to climb over a flowerbed that is about 2 meters wide, and finally land on the grass. The difficulty is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Just now, Wang Hai twisted his foot while doing this action!

Director Zhong was very worried that the tragedy would repeat itself. After all, Lu Chen was not a professional parkour athlete, not even a fan. It was undoubtedly a big challenge for him to complete this action.

He thought about it, and said to Lu Chen: Why don't you use post-processing for this action!

The post-synthesis is made with the help of green screen technology, and any difficult and thrilling action can be completed with Wia.

Trouble is definitely a lot of trouble, and the effect is definitely not as good as the real shot, but it is better than Lu Chen having an accident.

There is a special green screen studio in the film and television city.

Of course, Lu Chen knew the meaning of post-processing, and couldn't help laughing: That's too much trouble, Director Zhong, let me try it first, if it works, just shoot it, if you don't believe it, then think of another way.

Director Zhong thought about it, and agreed.

The main reason is that Lu Chen's performance gave him a lot of confidence, otherwise he would definitely not agree.

Although it was an exercise, Director Zhong still arranged all the filming crews for real shooting.

Facing the approaching camera, Lu Chen didn't feel nervous at all. He continued to run along the sidewalk, rushed to the steps leading to the small square in the blink of an eye, and suddenly jumped high!

At this moment, everyone's hearts were raised!

But I saw Lu Chen was in the air, with his right hand firmly pressed on the top of the railing post, and with the help of his arm, he flew forward and flew over the 2-meter-wide flowerbed, like an eagle flying through the air with wings spread, and then landed on the grass.

The next moment, Lu Chen's body squatted down with the inertia to release the force. He pressed the ground with his left hand to stabilize his figure, and then jumped up again like a spring full of strength, and leaped to the square in a chic and easy manner. among.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Wang Hai stood up abruptly in disbelief, ignoring the pain in his ankle.

The series of movements that Lu Chen just completed, not to mention ordinary people, even professional parkour athletes can't do better than him!

He really hadn't played parkour before?

Wang Hai didn't believe it!
