Perfect!
Lin Xing almost did this action scene in one shot, and what's even more rare is that it was shot to the end in one shot.
As an action director, Guo Teng is still very capable, otherwise Dong Deng would not have used Guo Rui, and Guo Teng has always had a good reputation in the industry in recent years.
Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is a high praise for Guo Teng in the industry.
Of course, this evaluation is actually partly ridiculed, because many actors not only have little martial arts skills, but they don't even have the most basic manners of an actor.
If you look at costume dramas from 20 years ago, why are all the characters so impeccable in manners? No matter they are princes, princes, ordinary people, or even many handsome young men, their manners are nothing to say.
After all, at that time, everyone had to undergo various interviews and training before joining the group.
How is it like now?
Everyone just joins the set and starts filming. Some of them can’t even remember their lines. How can you ask them to remember the action of the fight scenes? Even let them train for fighting scenes? ?
how can that be possible? ?
Because of this, when Guo Teng works with these actors, he often designs some actions that do not require any effort from these actors, but are enough to give these actors some highlights.
To put it simply, Guo Teng, as an action director, designs the actions for the stuntman to complete, and then the actors only need to look cool.
When it comes to editing, basically all those beautiful actions are attributed to the actors.
This is why many actors are willing to cooperate with Guo Teng.
At the beginning, Guo Teng really felt that Lin Xing also belonged to this group. Not only Lin Xing, if you look at the action scenes of Liang Yi, Ling Mei and others in "For Whom the Bell Tolls", they basically also It's all just fancy.
Most of the time, I just use a substitute if I can.
Of course, this "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is a spy drama after all. Most of the action scenes are just embellishments. Many times it is more about a battle of wits and courage.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Xing cherishes these two action scenes of his.
To be honest, Lin Xing still wants to act in action movies, but no one wants to ask him questions.
It is quite difficult for him to break out of the idol category now. After all, if there was no web drama "Bad Kid", basically no one would think that Lin Xing is an actor.
This is why many people thought Lin Xing wanted to die.
If popular artists could transform so easily, then the film and television industry would already have a lot of so-called popular drama stars.
Even though Lin Xing has gained some recognition in the industry with his two dramas, "Anti-Gangster" and "Portrait of a Murderer", basically everyone still thinks of him as a traffic fan.
But it's different in "Bad Kid". Lin Xing's acting skills are almost as disfiguring in the words of netizens. Who can believe that a popular artist dares to directly become bald? ? ?
That bald spot almost made it impossible for Lin Xing to go back to idol dramas.
Why are so many of Lin Xing's opponents cheering there? ?
Isn't it because they think Lin Xing will never be able to act in an idol drama again? ? ?
However, these people did not expect, or in other words, it was impossible for them to imagine that for male artists, only by jumping out of idol dramas would they be successful.
There are several big names in the entertainment industry today who acted in various romantic dramas when they were young, but they were not very popular when they acted in romantic dramas.
Later, these big guys in the uncle circle became popular only after they acted in serious dramas.
What's more important is that many of the big guys in the uncle circle became popular when they were in their forties, and some even became popular when they were 50 years old.
Therefore, Lin Xing is only in his early 30s. It can be said that if he starts acting in serious dramas at this time, Lin Xing's future will be unlimited.
Youdao is better known than meeting.
Among the crew of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", except for Wei Fei and Lin Xing who have collaborated, everyone else has only heard of Lin Xing. After all, Lin Xing does have a strong presence in 2024.
At the beginning of 2024, Lin Xing let everyone see what crazy criticism is with his role as Zhou Bo in "The Big Brother".
Then the two dramas "Portrait of a Murderer" and "Evil Child" one after another made Lin Xing the No. 1 online drama.
One actor appeared in three dramas in half a year, and the most important thing is that all three dramas were hits.
It’s hard not to pay attention to this industry.
Not to mention Lin Xing's more magical or completely extraordinary experience.
Many artists like to use the flow of water instead of competing to be first, but to talk incessantly to cheer themselves up. There are also some passers-by who often beg for food and will stand up to keep themselves going.
But it’s difficult.
However, Lin Xing's sudden rise to fame has actually brought some positive energy to everyone.
“Look at Lin Xing, he’s been out for ten years and he can still stage The Return of the King. What does it mean that we’ve only been out for two years???”
"Everything is possible in the entertainment industry. If Lin Xing can do Return of the King, so can we."
"I think this circle is full of ups and downs. Lin Xing can float down and then get up again. This fully proves that as long as we persist, we can always stand up."
…
This is the true thought of many people in the industry.
Lin Xing can do it, why can’t I? ?
Just like Wu Kun, he has experienced teenage success in this industry, experienced three years of obsolescence, experienced a renaissance of kung fu movies, and now is reduced to a supporting role.
Normal heart, normal heart.
Wu Kun often said this during interviews. He believed that he was already very content. First of all, he was not yet 50 years old. Wu Kun believed that it would not be a problem for him to act for another 30 years.
Secondly, many 50-year-old artists have nothing to film now. Some old actors and actresses now basically either go to live broadcasts to sell goods, or they just film some of their former out-of-the-ring roles. money.
But Wu Kun can still film, sometimes as a guest star like in "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and sometimes he will play some second male roles.
What else is there to be dissatisfied with? ?
On the crew, Wu Kun is often not idle. He is an action superstar after all. Sometimes the crew will invite Wu Kun to serve as a martial arts instructor, and even some directors will ask Wu Kun for advice.
Just like today.
Lin Xing's scene is fun for the uninitiated, but the insiders can appreciate it.
"Lin Xing is really good. This is a shot to the end. He doesn't even have any NG."
"Who says it's not the case? Before, Director Dong was worried that he would always be NG, so he thought of using a stand-in, but what he didn't expect was that Lin Xing would just pass by."
"If just jumping from one roof to another is nothing, the key thing is that Lin Xing has enough strength and skill, and he lands just right."
…
Many people in the crew exclaimed.
Someone also asked Wu Kun what he thought.
Wu Kun only said two words.
That's perfection.
"I have said before that this set of moves is easy for professionals to do, but difficult for those with little experience, but Lin Xing did it in one go. It is indeed too difficult."
Wu Kun said with some admiration: "Even if we let professional dragon and tiger martial arts masters do it, they can't guarantee that it will be done in one shot. It will never be NG."
This is the truth.
Moreover, many scenes in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" were shot to the end in one shot.
how to say?
Again, every director has his own style.
Take Dong Deng for example, what he likes most is one shot. In the first scene of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", it is the famous scene of 'sister training younger brother'. Basically, he used one shot.
Precisely because Dong Deng believed that Lin Xing's ability was quite good, and the effect of one shot to the end was quite perfect, Dong Deng would take a higher shot to the end from time to time.
But even Dong Deng never thought about filming Lin Xing in this action scene. Dong Deng even had no intention of letting Lin Xing film it from the beginning.
Dong Deng had already discussed this scene with Guo Teng and went directly to the stand-in.
As a result, Lin Xing took the initiative and said that he did not need a substitute. Not only that, Lin Xing also passed by directly.
"Perfect."
After Dong Deng saw Lin Xing fall, he suddenly stood up from behind the machine and said quickly: "Lao Guo, quickly check if Lin Xing is okay??"
"Axing, how are you??"
In fact, there was no need for Dong Deng to say anything. Guo Teng had already taken the lead in front of Lin Xing and helped him up.
"it's okay no problem……"
Lin Xing rubbed his arm.
When Lin Xing was hit by a car, he borrowed some strength, but his elbow just hit the glass. Even if the wire was hanging, and even if there was a cushion underneath, Lin Xing still felt some pain.
"Director Dong, I'm fine, we can continue filming."
Lin Xing signaled that Dong Deng was fine.
Dong Deng said: "Okay, continue shooting."
The next step is to shoot Wu Kun's scene.
As mentioned before, Wu Kun was a temporary guest star. He only had three scenes in total. Basically, he rebelled, committed evil, and was killed.
Lin Xing killed Wu Kun.
Because Wu Kun has too many secrets, whether they belong to the military command, the underground party, or even the Central Command, Wu Kun controls them all.
Some people were developed by Wu Kun, and now Wu Kun wants to use the lives of these people to pave a golden road for himself. Just so, after Chen Xuewen, played by Lin Xing, found that he could not contact his superiors, he took the initiative to make a decision .
Kill the traitor played by Wu Kun.
After all, the traitor belonged to a big boss of the Wang Puppet Regime, and because of the traitor's high status, the Wang Puppet Regime wanted to publicize Wu Kun.
In addition, this time the traitor played by Wu Kun came to the devil to assist No. 76 in the elimination operation.
The purge operation mainly involves the purge of military commanders and underground parties.
It was too easy for a traitor who was once the number one figure in the military command and was also an underground party traitor to do this. It was precisely because the traitor was a double agent that Chen Xuewen had to kill Wu Kun.
Because Chen Xuewen knows how harmful double-faced or even multiple-faced spies can be, and only Chen Xuewen knows.
Half an hour later, Wu Kun's first scene was filmed. This scene was after Wu Kun arrived in the magic city. It was also a group scene.
"When I come, the magic city will be at peace."
"When I come, the Magic City will be safe."
"I only came to Shanghai to do three things this time: eliminate the Communist Party, eliminate military commanders, and eliminate all criminal elements that endanger Sino-Japanese friendship."
…
At the banquet, Wu Kun spoke in an arrogant but conceited tone, which was indeed quite encouraging.
According to the plot, the second scene was that Wu Kun arrested a large number of ordinary people. He didn't even interrogate these ordinary people. He just let out the news and said that one person would be eliminated every hour.
This is forcing the military commander and the underground party to show up.
Obviously, after the traitors rebelled, they were really more ruthless than anyone else in attacking their former comrades.
Although Wu Kun only has these three scenes, his study of the script and even his understanding of the characters are quite good, and Wu Kun does not lower his standards just because it is just a cameo.
"Sure enough, Wu Kun is able to become an evergreen tree in the entertainment industry because he has his own abilities."
Lin Xing also learned something from Wu Kun.
Two days later, Wu Kun finished filming.
"Congratulations to Brother Kun for finishing the filming."
Guo Teng even gave the flowers to Wu Kun directly, and then said with a big smile.
Others also applauded, while the announcers for "For Whom the Bell Tolls" were frantically taking photos.
This is also propaganda.
"Thank you everyone. I enjoyed this filming very much. I hope our drama can start airing earlier."
Wu Kun said with a smile and teased: "Axing, this depends on you. After all, you are very lucky. Your previous dramas were all aired in advance. I believe this one will be fine." .”
Lin Xing also smiled and said: "Brother Kun, feudal superstition is so bad."
This sentence made everyone at the scene laugh.
"See you at the end of the banquet."
Wu Kun chatted briefly for a few more words, then said goodbye to many crew members one by one, and said he would see you again at the closing banquet.
Not only that, Wu Kun also specifically added Lin Xing as a friend when he left. Apparently Wu Kun's two days of filming made him feel that Lin Xing is indeed a bit interesting, or in this entertainment industry, there are still people like Lin Xing. It's really rare.
Maybe he can become the next model actor.
Wu Kun thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.
After all, how could it be so easy to become an actor? ?
Lin Xing has only won the first place in online dramas, but he has not even become the leading actor in TV dramas. If he wants to win the best actor in the film industry, no one can say for sure? ? ?
But these Lin Xing didn't worry much.
In other words, Lin Xing has never paid much attention to it.
He always felt that it was useless to worry about this.
As an actor, no one doesn’t want to win awards, but if you think about it every day, you’re really putting the cart before the horse.
The next step is to continue shooting.
Originally, the filming of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was very cautious. Everyone tried their best to take good care of the actors. Except for Lin Xing who was crazy about the dangerous actions, most of them were handed over to the stand-in if they could. To a stand-in.
But no one expected that something unexpected would happen in the next simple scene.
Ling Mei was injured.
…
…
Today is Double Twelve, and the orangutan is so dizzy that if his wife hadn’t asked the orangutan in the afternoon, he would have forgotten that today is the ninth anniversary of his wedding to his wife.
