This actor needs more money

I heard what Zhang Songwen said yesterday. After returning home, Zhou Wei watched Ding Xiu's previous movie, The Lost Martial Arts.

If you don’t know it, this is a very old movie. It was filmed ten years ago, when Ding Xiu had just made his debut. This was the first movie in his life in which he starred in a leading role, and it was also the first movie in his life.

It’s no wonder Zhou Wei hasn’t seen it.

The dramas he watched were all movies and TV dramas made after Ding Xiu became famous, such as Apple, I Am a Special Forces Soldier, Legend of Sword and Fairy, etc.

After watching The Lost Martial Arts yesterday, he finally understood why Zhang Songwen asked him to watch this drama.

The male protagonist in it does have something in common with Ding Xiu in Xiuchundao.

Later, after consulting a lot of information and reading many interviews from that year, I realized that Ding Xiu had participated in the adaptation of that play.

The most amazing thing is Ding Xiu's performance. I didn't expect that ten years ago, when he was just debuting, his acting skills were so monster. With that talent, he instantly killed countless seniors and put them to shame.

Zhang Songwen glanced at him and said: "Nonsense, otherwise why would I let you watch it? Don't underestimate the grassroots actors. Anyone who can stand up is a person with extremely high talent."

"The Lost Martial Arts", this drama won an award at Cannes that year, and Ding Xiu was the one who won the award. At that time, his reputation was not high, and the Internet was not developed. If it were today, all the hot searches on Weibo would be killed crazy."

Zhou Wei sighed: "If I were a Cannes judge, I would also give him the award."

Zhang Songwen smiled, said nothing, lowered his head and ate the steamed bun in his hand.

There are not many actors in the Jianghu School in recent years, but in the past few decades, more than half of the actors had not received professional training. In the past fifteen or twenty years, 70% of the actors had not received any training. After college.

Those who can survive in such a big environment all rely on talent and hard work, and everyone is stronger than anyone else.

It's better here in the mainland, but most obviously on Hong Kong Island. Among the actors who were popular in the 1980s and 1990s, how many of them went to acting academies?

But there are countless good actors emerging.

The acting skills of Wu Mengda, Zhou Xingchi, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Jiahui and others are superb.

The most unique thing is that because they have never studied acting systematically, each of them performs in a different way, which is like a hundred flowers blooming.

Among them, Zhang Songwen’s favorite is Wu Zhenyu.

Wu Zhenyu's acting skills are very distinctive. There is a hint of madness in the calmness, and the good guys and bad guys are all in one thought.

In the early years, Ding Xiu's style was a bit biased towards Wu Zhenyu. Unfortunately, because he was busy making money, Ding Xiu did not explore enough as an actor. If he could take more challenging roles, such as villains, supporting roles, etc., Perhaps now he is Wu Zhenyu from Mainland China.

Of course, Zhang Songwen would not say these words to Ding Xiu.

Adults cannot educate, they can only screen.

There is nothing wrong with others being busy making money. If you talk too much, you may easily offend others.

Half an hour later, Ding Xiu came to the set.

After having a quick bite, we convened a meeting with the heads of various departments to test the martial arts performance.

There is no drama for him before noon, but he is busier than anyone else and can be found everywhere.

The morning scene was between Zhang Songwen and Wang Qianyuan.

Yesterday, the assistant director temporarily changed the person who played Qianhu, and the role was given to Zhang Songwen. That's how today's scene between him and the best actor Wang Qianyuan came about.

That's right, it's the movie king Wang Qianyuan.

Just two days before filming started, Wang Qianyuan won the Tokyo Best Actor.

The crew made a big mistake.

This is an international movie king, with a high gold content.

In the evening, Zhou Wei continued to shoot his own scene, which was a fight between him and Song Yang.

"You think you are an official when you put on Feiyu uniform, and a thief is a thief. I will keep your secret for the rest of my life."

"Not convinced?"

"I'll give you three days to collect one hundred taels of silver for me."

"One hundred taels?"

"One hundred taels."

"My annual salary is only twenty taels, where can I get one hundred taels?"

"Go and sell your ass. There are so many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital who are as good as Long Yang. With your body as good as yours, you can easily earn a hundred taels of silver."

Zhou Wei's performance today was much better than yesterday. His tone was so wild that it made people itch with hatred. Song Yang felt the veins in his neck bulge and put his hand on the handle of the knife.

In front of the monitor, Lu Yang said to Ding Xiu: "This kid is quite interesting. I guess if you come to act, it will be like this."

Ding Xiu smiled: "Because he acted after me."

Lu Yang was stunned: "You kid, don't talk nonsense. When did people imitate you? You demonstrated it just yesterday. You are so embarrassed for such a big contribution."

"I'm not talking about yesterday. I wonder if you haven't seen one of my movies called The Lost Martial Arts. It was shot very early, about ten years ago. The character I played in it is very similar to Ding Xiu in this movie. "

"He probably watched that movie and copied the model from that play."

Lu Yang didn't expect this story: "What should we do? Do we need to stop?"

"That's not necessary, just let it go. That drama does fit the characters of this drama quite well."

It was Zhou Wei's cleverness to come up with this idea. Ding Xiu didn't care and he just followed his own example, which happened to save him a lot of time.

"Qiang!"

At the shooting scene, Song Yang, who had wires hung up, rushed towards Zhou Wei with a few strides. He was so fast that he could almost only see a black shadow.

Then Ding Xiu's Miao knife was pulled out.

With a sudden stop, Song Yang drew his sword and turned towards Zhou Wei to kill him.

The fight between the two begins.

Raising troops for a thousand days, using them for a while. Before turning on the machine, Ding Xiu trained them every day, just for now.

Song Yang has dancing skills and started practicing swordsmanship when filming the last film "Traces of the Japanese Pirates". He was trained by Ding Xiu for a period of time before the filming of this film started. He is no stranger to using swords now.

With a long knife in his hand, he can play extremely fiercely.

Zhou Wei has no background in martial arts, but it is not easy to play a master in this drama.

In order to overcome this shortcoming of his, Ding Xiu deliberately deleted his martial arts moves.

The more you fight, the more mistakes you make.

Fight less and focus on defeating the enemy with one move, and you will look more like a master.

Facing Song Yang's impenetrable sword skills, he just took a few steps back, turned his head to dodge, then raised his hand, struck with his elbow, and took back the Miao sword with just a few moves.

Song Yang, who was repulsed, could not fight back because his character Jin Yichuan fell ill and vomited blood.

After cursing the consumptive devil, Zhou Wei left with a cool whistle.

"Click!"

"Pass!"

"Prepare for the next game."

…

Ding Xiu has strict requirements for martial arts, and the crew's progress is not very fast. They have to work overtime every day, because there are many night scenes, and they often shoot all night.

After half a month, the actor almost collapsed.

Especially for the extras, if Ding Xiu hadn't added money, they would have left long ago.

This night, the first climax of the play came.

The three brothers Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing, and Jin Yichuan received orders from Zhao Jingzhong to kill Wei Zhongxian.

The reason why we found the three brothers was that they were not good at getting along, and they were not eunuchs at first glance.

Taking Ren Wu, the three brothers went to an inn in the suburbs, where they caught up with Wei Zhongxian.

Outside the inn, Shen Lian was holding a crossbow and was about to fire signal arrows to notify others to come, but was stopped by his eldest brother Lu Jianxing, who did not want others to share the credit.

So the three brothers wanted to challenge Wei Zhongxian's hundreds of men.

At the filming site, staff were arranging water trucks, setting up scenes, and testing the hardness of wires and tiles.

Gao Yuanyuan also changed into ancient clothes and held a Western sword in her hand.

She is a beauty herself, and she is no less handsome when she disguises herself as a man. She has a heroic look on her face, but she retains the unique charm of a woman.

After her makeup came out, Ding Xiu said seriously: "That's it for tonight. I'll test your swordsmanship when you go back to the hotel."

Gao Yuanyuan sneered: "I didn't expect you to be so good."

Ding Xiu touched his nose in embarrassment: "I've definitely never tried on ancient costumes."

"Heh, let's see how you behave."

Half an hour later, everything was ready. At Lu Yang's order, three people wearing black flying fish suits, embroidered spring knives on their waists, straw hats on their heads, and raincoats leaped up to the outer wall of the inn.

After Jin Yichuan killed the spies upstairs with one blow, the three brothers prepared to head towards Wei Zhongxian's room.

However, in the rainy night, with lightning and thunder, the fourth lady played by Gao Yuanyuan saw the shadow on the ground and discovered the three people on the roof.

He took the spear from his subordinate and threw it away.

"Who is it, come down!"

"Where's the idea? You're so desperate that you're here to act wild?"

The plan was revealed, and the three brothers jumped from the roof. At the same time, they threw away their raincoats, revealing their flying fish suits and weapons.

"Kill them."

"Fourth Miss, they are Jin Yiwei."

"It's just three, what's there to be afraid of? If you kill one, you'll be rewarded with ten taels of gold. Kill them for me!"

It rained heavily and a big battle began.

This is a group battle, which is difficult to shoot. We need to take into account the shots of Ding Xiu, Wang Qianyuan, Song Yang, and Gao Yuanyuan, and also pay attention to the group performances.

Before shooting started, we had been rehearsing all afternoon.

Even so, the shooting was not smooth, and it became messy while typing.

We have no choice but to rearrange and start over.

Over and over again, Ding Xiu and others changed their clothes several times.

It wasn't until midnight that the stumbling filming ended, and this was the only one I took.

In front of the monitor, Ding Xiu, Wang Qianyuan, and Song Yang were all watching the replay.

In the picture, Ding Xiu is leading the way. The Xiuchun knife in his hand is used to chop down people. Every move is a killing move. It is so fierce that it only takes a few seconds to cut off a piece.

Song Yang is not bad either. He fights in close quarters with two daggers, and his main skill is agility.

Wang Qianyuan was holding the Yan-winged Sword with both hands. His sword skills were wide open and closed, and his momentum was like a rainbow. Every time the sword was struck, someone would fall.

Just when several people were watching with excitement and felt that the shot was good, Ding Xiu frowned and said: "This is still not good, Song Yang's short sword is a bit too fast, pay attention to the rhythm, don't be so fast, your steps will be messed up."

"Look at the place where you stabbed someone. Is it the same as when you rehearsed?"

"Brother Wang's broadsword is not strong enough. It needs to be a little sharper. Those cutting and slashing movements are not good-looking, and his body skills are not beautiful enough."

"There is also a problem with the positioning of the extras. The assistant director taught me how to do it. Before the killing was finished here, they rushed over from the other side."

"Reshoot!"

In one sentence, Ding Xiu brought everyone back to their original shape.

It's been six or seven hours since I started shooting at eight o'clock, and I'm exhausted. I finally managed to get it right. If Ding Xiu said it would be a reshoot, it would be a reshoot. Who could withstand this?

Wang Qianyuan and Song Yang both had some opinions, but they were too embarrassed to say it clearly.

The two of them felt that they had tried their best. After filming for so long, they were all injured. Their backs, knees, and elbows were injured in many places. They were all bruised. After being accidentally injured, they bandaged them and continued filming.

It’s really a bit overwhelming.

"I will demonstrate it again for your reference."

Ignoring their expressions, Ding Xiu first took Wang Qianyuan's sword and asked the extras to take their positions. Then he rushed out in a few steps without getting on the wire, stepped on the bullock cart, and jumped off. The person was in the air, his body rotated 720 degrees, and when he landed, he swung the knife in his hand, and with one blow he cut down the extras to their knees...

The broadsword in his hand was not a little bit more powerful than Wang Qianyuan's, slashing and stabbing with such overwhelming momentum that hundreds of extras were cut down and retreated.

"call!"

After exhaling, Ding Xiu put away the knife and said to Wang Qianyuan: "Just follow this standard?"

Wang Qianyuan:......

Do you want to hear what this is?

Damn it, if I had this skill, what kind of movies would I make?

Song Yang wiped his sweat secretly, and was glad that he didn't have to use a machete. After such a round of beating, his arms would not be broken from exhaustion.

"Song Yang, give me your double swords." Ding Xiu asked for Song Yang's double swords and showed him how to use them: "The advantage of the short sword is that it is flexible and requires a lot of movement. You must always pay attention to your position. "

"Watch carefully how I use it."

Holding two swords in his hands, Ding Xiu could not take any action easily. The strike would be a sure kill. Immediately after one strike, he rolled like a donkey. He stood up and jumped with another strike.

The whole person is like a flexible monkey, jumping up and down without a trace.

Song Yang almost cried when he saw it.

This was much more difficult than Wang Qianyuan's movements, and it took a lot of physical strength, so he couldn't help but say:

"Brother Xiu, wasn't this how you taught me before?"

Their martial arts was taught by Ding Xiu, but Ding Xiu did not teach this way before, and there were many changes in the demonstration just now.

Wang Qianyuan also cast a questioning look at Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "I changed it temporarily. I felt that the previous martial arts lacked momentum, was not refreshing and depressing enough. What I wanted was to be sword-to-flesh, simple and straightforward, and the main focus was the word fierce."

He seemed to know why Wang Jiawei liked to change the script on the fly. God was not as good as man, and some things came to him as they were being filmed, and there was nothing they could do if they didn't change them.

If there is no other way, forget it. There is obviously a better shooting plan, but it would be a pity if you stopped shooting because you are tired.

Wang Qianyuan said tiredly: "Brother Xiu, make temporary changes. We don't have time to learn temporarily. Why don't we shoot again tomorrow."

"That makes sense." Ding Xiu pinched his chin and said, "But since you're here tonight, let's rehearse first so that tomorrow will be easier. I'll break it down for you one move at a time. Don't worry, it's not too difficult. It's just that Several movements and body techniques have been added to the previous martial arts.”

Wang Qianyuan: "..."

Damn, you're not off work yet?

Soon, the night passed.

After dawn, the crew called it a day. Wang Qianyuan and Song Yang got in the car and closed their eyes and fell asleep. They were too tired.

Ding Xiu whispered to the assistant director: "Keep an eye on Wang Qianyuan, Song Yang, and Zhou Wei's ID cards. If they run away, I will only ask you."

There are still a few tiring days to come. You can't run away. If you run away, where can you find actors?

The young man who slayed dragons eventually became an evil dragon.
