This actor needs more money

The crew started shooting, and the speed was very fast, so fast that the actors were caught off guard, because they didn't even have time to practice the martial arts.

In Fatty Wang's mind, there was never the concept of joining a group in advance to practice martial arts.

Two sets of machines were filmed at the same time, one for literary drama and one for martial arts.

Those who have something to work on shoot first, and those who don’t have a role to play take the time to practice their routines.

"Card!"

"Give Ding Xiu some stubble. This guy is a bit too polite and not quaint enough."

"No need for a mustache. This is not about acting like an uncle. Hu Zha. Do you understand what Hu Zha is?"

"Let your hair be loose and draped over your shoulders, okay, that's it, turn on the phone!"

"No, there are too many lines. Guihai Yidao has a cold-blooded personality. He shouldn't be like this. Don't read these words, just hit him. Be more cold-blooded and give me an unruly and arrogant look."

Fatty Wang says he is the producer, but in fact he also does the work of the director. He basically has the final say on the set.

Ding Xiu originally thought that Zhang Yimou, whom he had worked with before, was already in trouble, but Fatty Wang was even worse.

Have you ever seen someone revising a script on set with a pen?

Ding Xiu saw it.

Under Wang Jin's continuous revisions, Ding Xiu worked for more than an hour without taking a single shot.

However, under the guidance of Fatty Wang, he seemed to have returned to the world of swords and swords. There was no reason to argue, and any disagreement would mean life and death.

His eyes gradually became cold, and Ding Xiu placed his right hand on the handle of the knife.

The next second.

Clang!

A flash of sword light flashed.

The tip of the knife was fixed on Fatty Wang's neck.

This knife cut off the words that Fatty Wang had not had time to say, and suppressed them all.

Looking at Ding Xiu's cold eyes and his temperament, which looked like Gui Hai's upper body, Fatty Wang broke into a cold sweat.

Holding a sword in his arms, Ding Xiu sheathed the sword without even looking at it: "Director Wang, is this okay?"

"Okay, fine, that's it."

Turning around, Fatty Wang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered: "Is this a freak?"

There was an indescribable feeling in Ding Xiu. After just a few words, he was completely absorbed in the drama. Just now, he thought he was facing the Guihai Yida described in the novel.

After a while, the crew started filming, and the first scene was against Dongchang.

This is a group show, and the three secret agents of Hulong Villa take action at the same time. Ye Xuan's Shangguan Haitang is dressed as a man, dressed in white, holding a white fan, and her eyebrows are full of heroism.

Li Yapeng's Duan Tianya is wearing a black robe with a Japanese samurai sword on his waist, looking somewhat elegant.

Ding Xiu's Guihai Yidao was unshaven, with disheveled hair, a poker face, and a serious smile. There was some indescribable madness hidden in his cold eyes.

"Bang bang bang..."

With every cut and every fall of the sword, the crew's explosive points exploded.

It looks quite a bit like the light of swords and shadows of swords, and the aura of swords.

In the director's studio, Wang Jin, the director, and Cheng Xiaodong were all staring at the monitor.

"pretty!"

After Ding Xiu finished taking a picture, Wang Jin couldn't help but praise him.

Ding Xiu played with a long knife so gracefully in his hands, his face was ferocious and murderous, and his movements were clean and neat. Whether he was hanging the wire in the air or swinging the knife after landing on the ground, there was no fault at all.

Cheng Xiaodong is no longer surprised: "Ding Xiu's martial arts can be said to be at a textbook level. In the current film industry, I dare say that there is not a single slap in the face that can be better than him."

Wang Jin was a little surprised that Ding Xiu could receive such a high evaluation from the martial arts master.

"real or fake?"

"Have you ever seen anyone do a martial arts scene so well?"

"That's true."

Ding Xiu's martial arts performance is indeed a bit rare. This situation usually occurs when the actor has practiced martial arts since childhood, has rich martial arts experience, and has done a lot of practice before starting the movie.

Even so, it is normal to NG several times.

As for martial arts scenes, there is only one fault.

But he insisted on one pass. You know, he just started practicing the tricks yesterday.

Article 1, Article 2, Article 3...

For more than an hour, Wang Jin felt numb.

Every shot of Ding Xiu is a one-shot.

If it weren't for the need to touch up makeup, re-set the scenery, and restore props every time the camera was switched, it wouldn't have taken more than ten minutes to complete the scene at Ding Xiu's speed.

"You are so awesome. Can you give me some advice when you have time?" Ye Xuan put a bottle of water in front of Ding Xiu and said with a smile.

"Thank you. There's no point in giving advice. Let's communicate with each other."

"Have you been practicing martial arts since childhood? I heard that you are very capable in actual combat? How many can you fight at one time?"

Ding Xiu just said something, and Ye Xuan kept asking questions like a machine gun.

"It's all fake. There's no real skill. I just have a better physique."

"I do not believe."

With a chuckle, Ding Xiu drank some water and said, "You speak Mandarin well."

The actors in the crew come from all over the world and can generally be divided into two circles. One is the Hong Kong circle, mainly Ye Xuan, Chen Farong, Liu Songren, Guo Jingan, Tang Zhenye and others.

One is the inland circle, the representative characters are Ding Xiu, Gao Yuanyuan, Li Yapeng, there are also Dongchang Cao Zhengchun and Li Jianyi who have more roles, and the Zhengde Emperor Deng Chao.

Li Jianyi and Deng Chao both appeared in supporting roles. They came from Guohua, that is, the National Theater.

The two of them are considered special actors. One is famous for playing eunuchs and has become a professional eunuch, and the other has become famous for playing an emperor and has become a professional emperor.

In addition to the two circles of Mainland China and Hong Kong Island, the crew also has actors from Bendong Province and abroad. However, because there are few people, there are not many roles, and the influence is not great.

There are many people in the crew from Hong Kong, and they basically speak Cantonese. So far, Ding Xiu has heard that the best Mandarin among this group of people is Wang Jin, and the next is Ye Xuan.

Like Chen Farong, most people would be anxious to death when chatting with her. Mandarin is too hot on the mouth.

Fortunately, it was Liu Songren who acted opposite her. If she had been a mainland actor, she probably wouldn't have been driven crazy.

Because you don’t understand Cantonese, you don’t know what others are saying, so it’s definitely not possible for each person to act his or her own way. You can only memorize the other person’s lines together.

"Hahaha, many people say this. In fact, I can not only speak Mandarin, but also Cantonese, English and Hangzhou dialect."

Ye Xuan smiled and said: "No kidding, I am from the Mainland. I studied in Hangzhou before I was ten years old. Later I followed my parents to the United States. I participated in a beauty pageant in Hong Kong Island a few years ago and accidentally won the prize. Award, and was signed by TVB."

"Strictly speaking, I'm still a newbie in film and television, and I don't have much acting experience, so I ask Brother Xiu for your guidance."

"That's it, it's easy to talk about."

A newcomer who has just entered the industry is the number one female lead. Ding Xiu would not believe her to death if she had such a simple background.

…

"Ka, Wia pull back a little."

"The actor went too far."

"Let's fight, do you understand?"

At the scene, Fatty Wang shouted with a loudspeaker until his voice became hoarse.

The person filming here is Li Yapeng, and it’s the same scene as the one Ding Xiu just filmed.

He finally understood what Cheng Xiaodong meant when he said that Ding Xiu's martial arts was textbook and he couldn't find any faults.

The same scene, the same martial arts, but Ding Xiu and Li Yapeng are worlds apart.

One was a pass, the other was a constant NG, either because the person went astray in the air, or the sword was not sharp enough. Another time, he couldn't hold back his strength just after landing, and he knelt on the ground while running forward.

"Stuck, each department will check the props and we will shoot again in fifteen minutes."

Seeing that something was wrong with Li Yapeng, Wang Jin asked the crew to stop for fifteen minutes, saying it was to check the props, but in fact it was to give Li Yapeng some rest time.

Fifteen minutes later, filming continued.

The filming stopped, and the whole morning passed. Li Yapeng's scene was finished filming, and the crew was just having dinner.

Exhausted and suffering from backache, Li Yapeng was no longer in the mood to eat and got into the RV to sleep.

In the afternoon, filming Ye Xuan's scene.

Her martial arts skills were also very poor, but Fatty Wang didn't even scold her. Instead, he taught her with a smile on his face.

"It doesn't matter, newcomers are like this."

"Just take a few more shots and it'll be fine. It'll be fine. Don't be mentally burdened."

"The main reason is that there is too little rehearsal time. It is normal for you not to be proficient in the movements."

He is extremely harsh when it comes to mainland actors, but he immediately changes his attitude when facing Hong Kong actors.

This kind of differential treatment made Ding Xiu and other "mainland boys" look at each other for a moment.

A few days later, at noon, on the set.

Ding Xiu was sleeping on the lounge chair with the script pressed on his face.

Rustling footsteps approached and the script was taken away.

Seeing that the person coming was Cheng Xiaodong and not Gao Yuanyuan, Ding Xiu lowered his raised eyebrows and turned over to a more comfortable sleeping position.

Pulling a folding chair to sit next to him, Cheng Xiaodong said to himself: "I heard that your kid is joining the show, which is good."

"Ye Xuan is joining the show, and I'll take advantage of it." Ding Xiu replied with his eyes closed.

He and Ye Xuan have a lot of rivalry scenes, and they will develop into lovers later on. Ye Xuan and Wang Fatty proposed to add some scenes, and naturally, Ding Xiu also had to make changes.

Ding Xiu loves and hates extra scenes.

What I like is that there are many dramas. After the broadcast, the exposure is high, the popularity is relatively high, and there are many commercial performances coming one after another.

What I hate is that there is no overtime pay, but I still get the same salary.

Squinting his eyes, Cheng Xiaodong said calmly: "Privately, I heard that some people are talking about Wang Jin's favoritism."

"Don't look at me, I didn't say anything."

"I didn't say it was you."

"Then why are you looking for me?"

Looking around, Cheng Xiaodong said, "Haven't you noticed that Ye Xuan has more scenes than you, Li Yapeng, Liu Songren, and Guo Jingan?"

Ding Xiu opened his eyes: "So what."

Ye Xuan's script was so thick that he had already seen it.

Suppressing his voice, Cheng Xiaodong said: "Fat Wang is not giving her face, but giving face to the people behind her."

Ding Xiu regained his energy, turned over and asked, "Is he his biological father or his godfather?"

Cheng Xiaodong was stunned: "Do you understand this?"

Ding Xiu pouted: "What don't you understand? It's just that."

In the 1970s and 1980s, Hong Kong Island was notoriously chaotic.

Hua Zai has been trolled while filming. In A Hero's True Colors, Ponyboy's statement that he hates being pointed at with a gun is also true.

Li Lianjie's agent... To put it far, in that circle anyway, you can't survive without some reliance.

This is true for men, let alone a beautiful woman.
