At this time, it was also the time for Liu Qingshan to teach Kunale the boxing technique. For this purpose, he specially chose a position that ordinary people could not climb.
He is not worried that the ancient boxing skills of his ancestors will be transferred to other races. There are only a few people who can truly master the 36 moves of Huaquan.
What's more, there are a lot of people in China who have learned it. Within a few decades, it can become a popular boxing technique like ordinary Shaolin boxing.
Kunal has a foundation in Eastern martial arts and has made rapid progress in learning it. In addition, he rehearses with the martial arts instructor of the Chen family class every day. He has mastered it in Stone City for more than ten days.
Since there is a very important shooting at the town fair next, it requires the cooperation of a large number of group performers as well as folk artists such as snake charmers, dances, and magicians.
Therefore, in more than half a month, the filming location will be moved to Hospet where all conditions are suitable.
The tragic ending of the film was actually filmed in Chang'an City.
That was when Chen Long broke into the Mausoleum of the First Emperor alone and met Jin Xishan. The film should have come to a perfect conclusion with the lovers reconnecting.
Especially the sentence at the end "You are not Meng Yi, I can't leave with you", which ended this thousand-year love.
This somewhat unexpected ending may not be in line with the audience's belief that since it is a myth, it should have the most perfect imaginary ending.
Liu Qingshan once raised doubts about this matter. Fortunately, both Chen Long and Tang Jieli were very concerned about it and asked him specifically for his reasons.
Liu Qingshan said at that time:
"The ending is too hasty, and the time-travel plot is inherently far-fetched. With this unpleasant ending, it will be easy for people to deliberately exaggerate these far-fetched existences out of anger."
After a period of thinking, Tangjieli planned to add a little more content to the final ending.
According to him, it was like a continuation of the film. At the same time that the subtitles were displayed after the end of the film, he used a voice-over to make a vague footnote to the realist version and the romantic version besides the tragic ending.
The specific rhetoric can have far-reaching meanings like a montage, and can also bury a suspense in advance for possible sequels in the future, and effectively reduce the rush of the ending.
In this way, it not only satisfies the beautiful expectations of most viewers, but also conforms to the uncertainty between myth and reality.
In fact, the script has already left the seeds for the sequel, that is, Meng Yi went through all kinds of twists and turns, but still failed to rescue the princess, or after rescuing the princess, the princess was not acclimatized and died.
He was greatly hit by this and originally wanted to follow the princess, but considering that the meteorites and some cultural relics stolen from the Mosu Kingdom had not yet been returned, he gave up the idea of committing suicide.
In the process of returning the meteorite, she fell in love with the Indian beauty who had saved her, and they stayed together ever since.
This plot can be vaguely guided by the voice-over, and there are possibilities at the same time.
As for the final sequel, the decision will depend on the market's response.
In a blink of an eye, the day of leaving Stone City came. After more than ten days of contact, several local actors became very familiar with everyone.
In particular, Marika, the cheerful and pungent member of the cast, was able to give up the indispensable curry and hang out with Chen Long, and she gradually became accustomed to the Chinese food on the set.
Hospet is actually not that big. It can be known to more people because it relies on Stone City, one of the world's tangible cultural heritage sites.
But it is still a city, far more prosperous than a town.
The market here is a bit like the domestic markets in the 1970s and 1980s. The main reason is that it is not regulated and managed.
The streets in the city are very narrow, and most of the buildings are dilapidated, but there are crowds of people every day. Everywhere you look, you can find random woven bags or sacks spread on the ground at stalls.
The crew and the rest of the crew stayed not at the hotel where they would stay for the night, but directly at a rubber processing factory that had been booked in advance.
It was because there was a scene in which Chen Long and Marika were chased by the police and ran into a rubber factory.
From the ground to the rubber conveyor belt, everyone was stuck to the glue on the conveyor belt. In order to escape, they had to take off their clothes one by one.
This clip is an indispensable funny scene in the entire film, and it is also the distinctive style feature that Chen Long has relied on for decades.
The huge knife gate on the conveyor belt is not a prop. Faced with the rapidly rotating saw-tooth gate knife, the safety of the actors cannot be guaranteed without three or two days of advance practice.
It was noon at this time. After a simple meal, Chen Long summoned relevant personnel to come to the factory to experience it.
Also following were Chen Jiaban. Many of the action designs in Chen Long's films were shot and edited on the fly, especially the actions on the always-running conveyor belt, which are highly uncertain.
As long as the relevant actors step onto the conveyor belt, their lives will be in danger if they make a slight mistake in their steps. The related martial arts design is extremely difficult.
Especially Marika, because there were many shots of her clothes being torn off, and she had to pay attention to the positioning of the camera to prevent exposure, multitasking made it even more difficult.
That's why Chen Long was most worried that she wouldn't be able to cope. It was for this reason that she entered the state in such a hurry without waiting for a break.
The eldest brother who is full of comedy skills is not only the funny person on the scene, but also the magical plot setting of the scene, which often makes the onlookers laugh.
Chen Long has a lot of good intentions in doing this. His previous films were all action comedies, but Myth is a different attempt, focusing on epics and romance.
This is like the cross talk performances we watch every day, but this time it is different. Although people still perform with their mouths on stage, they do not speak cross talk but sing instead.
In this way, unless the actor's singing skills can really reach a blockbuster level and be within the range of public acceptance.
Therefore, in this style change, how to emphasize the advantages of comedy more and try to downplay the audience's discomfort with the change.
Undoubtedly, this addictive and typical Chen Long-style fighting style is the best glue to make up for the flaws in the time-travel logic and the abrupt connection between the three plots.
So he did it very seriously, and Marika, as the other protagonist at this time, was also extremely devoted.
And these scenes are impossible to appear in the plot related to Princess Yushu.
Ancient princesses did not have the right to love freely, let alone be portrayed as modern, independent women.
Therefore, this kind of scene of slapstick and laughter, which is slightly foolish, can only appear in a foreign country. After all, the main theme of the whole film is still a weeping and soul-stirring love tragedy.
Perhaps Marika had received some kind of promise from Chen Long in advance and cooperated quite well in the next series of plot designs.
You must know that Tianzhu's folk customs have been relatively conservative for thousands of years. It is a kind of religious influence that women are relatively traditional and conservative.
Of course, the prerequisite for her being able to do this is that Indian society gives special treatment to Bollywood women with bold personalities.
However, the adhesive power of the glue on the rubber-coated conveyor belt is very amazing. In order to escape as quickly as possible, it is natural that taking off the clothes on the body is the only way.
But the funnyness on the screen does not mean that it is easy to shoot. The huge adhesive force of the glue often makes it difficult to continue the already designed actions.
This was even more painful for Marika who needed to expose her body. In order to avoid too much embarrassment, Chen Long reduced the number of onlookers as much as possible.
However, Liu Qingshan is not included in this list, because many difficult actions require him to act as a stand-in. In fact, he is used in many situations throughout the film.
What is ironic is that after two days of hard work, Chen Long, who was stripped down to only a pair of boxer briefs with a "Hahaha" pattern, and Marika, who was left with only her bust and exposed back, actually caught a cold.
It can be seen that during the two days of intensive shooting, the filming was interrupted frequently due to the adhesive force of the glue.
Therefore, Chen Long, who was on an intravenous drip two days later, showed no sense of enjoyment that should have been stimulated by the lively shooting scene.
"You were stripped naked and stood in the wind for two consecutive days and tried it? Is it interesting to say some cheap words at this time?"
This is Chen Long yelling at Liang Jiahui, who is teasing him, with a ferocious look on his face.
Marika, who was on the other bed, was also complaining with runny nose and tears:
"Although the weather here is over 30 degrees, the cool wind coming from that huge guillotine is very biting. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Qingshan!"
Liu Qingshan shook his head solemnly: "But you guys hugged each other a lot to keep each other warm. If you want to talk about hardship, it is even more miserable for the cameramen!"
Chen Long laughed and scolded: "But they are wearing clothes, you heartless brat, you are like this, and you still don't forget to add insult to injury!"
Kunal, who is also a translator, spoke in his broken Chinese:
"I am the big brother at this point. My master has been laughing very happily in the past two days. He often takes advantage of the interruption of filming to get close to Marika and feast his eyes on her!"
Liu Qingshan slapped him quickly: "I told you to talk nonsense!"
Marika laughed so hard at the side: "I can testify to this. Brother Qingshan still cares about my sister very much. The frequency of putting clothes on me is much higher than that of the eldest brother!"
In fact, everyone present knew that Liu Qingshan was so close mainly for safety reasons.
The conveyor belt is always running during filming, and the knife gate is by no means a prop. As long as the people on it make a slight mistake, their lives will be in great danger.
In addition to the two people specially arranged at the switch, he was specially arranged in the nearest position so that he could respond at any time.
These jokes are nothing more than a way to liven up the atmosphere, but it is undeniable that he will become the person Marika trusts most besides Chen Long.
In order to show her goodwill, she even introduced her personal attendant, her cousin Aishwarya, who has the same name as the well-known Bollywood actress in the world of cinema, to Liu Qingshan.
Aishwarya is as beautiful as her cousin. She belongs to the soft and beautiful type, with a pair of passionate and pet-like big eyes that can drown people.
However, Liu Qingshan didn't have much interest in this woman. It didn't mean that he was very calm. He had a good impression, but he didn't have the mentality to want something to happen.
