"Every department goes through it again and gets ready for the last play, the last play."
After Yuan Heping finished speaking, he handed the tweeter to his assistant, sat behind the monitor, held the walkie-talkie in his hand, and checked the images from the camera lens one by one.
Yuan Heping has experienced situations like this countless times in his decades of acting.
The closer we get to the end, the less we can afford to be careless.
Filming is actually a very boring thing. It may be interesting at first, but as the filming continues, the work intensity becomes more and more intense, and in the end it is just about enduring it.
Outside Hengdian Cinemas, in the wasteland behind a mountain, Zhang Chu and Jiao Enjun stood opposite each other. Sun Xiaohong, played by Jia Jingwen, stood aside. There was a tomb not far away.
Today is the day when filming for "Little Li Flying Knives" is wrapping up. There was originally no such scene. According to the script, the last scene of the whole play is Li Xunhuan sitting in front of the grave of Jinghong Fairy Yang Yan, drinking.
Probably because he felt that the ending was too dull, Yuan Heping arranged an ultimate showdown between Li Xunhuan and A Fei in an ingenious way.
"Action!"
Uh-huh!
The iron sword was unsheathed. Zhang Chu threw the scabbard away and stuck it straight on the ground.
This action was specially requested by Yuan Heping. He still remembered the scene on the rooftop where Zhang Chu threw out the scabbard and inserted it straight into the back of the chair. Now it has been restored in the play.
"Everyone knows that Xiao Li Fei Dao never misses a beat. Brother, this is the only merciless request A Fei has made today. Please don't be merciful and let me see how powerful Xiao Li Fei Dao is."
Isn't this seeking death?
The author has made it very clear in the original work. The magic of Xiao Li's flying knife is that no matter how powerful the enemy is, the winner will be determined as long as the flying knife is shown.
Shangguan Jinhong, who was ranked second in the list of powerful weapons, was not immune. A Fei, a naughty kid, had no idea what his psychology was, insisting on having this final battle with Li Xunhuan.
Jiao Enjun turned sideways and said in a deep voice: "A Fei, since you know it, why do you need to force others to do something difficult? You want to compete with me. I will accompany you with fists, feet, and swords. But this flying knife skill will definitely hurt someone. You and I are best friends." brother……"
"Brother!"
Zhang Chu interrupted Jiao Enjun.
"My little brother has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. What he wants is to compete with the masters in the world. Today he retires to the world. I really don't want to leave this regret, so I ask my elder brother to help me."
"A Fei, you..."
Zhang Chu didn't wait for Jiao Enjun to finish, he held a sword flower in his hand, and the tip of the sword was pointed directly at Jiao Enjun.
"Brother, please!"
After saying that, he quickly stepped forward, jumped up, and stabbed Jiao Enjun in the chest with his iron sword.
When Jiao Enjun saw this, his expression became stern and he could only take action.
The two of them went back and forth, fighting together.
The camera turned and focused on the mountain. Jing Wuming, who had lost an arm, looked at the two of them with a stern expression. His empty sleeves were fluttering in the wind, and he turned around and walked away.
Regarding the ending of Jing Wuming, Yuan Heping also revised it at the end. The screenwriter originally wanted him to die at the hands of Shangguan Jinhong, but in the end, Yuan Heping still spared his life.
It was changed to being rescued by Li Xunhuan. After everyone defeated Shangguan Jinhong, Jing Wuming was unwilling to owe Li Xunhuan a favor and chose to cut off his right arm.
Ah! ha!
The duel between the two is still going on, but it is easy to say it, but it is extremely difficult to film this fight scene well.
Jiao Enjun has no martial arts foundation. Although he has learned Taekwondo and boxing, they are completely different from traditional martial arts.
In order to film this scene well, Zhang Chu and Jiao Enjun have been practicing non-stop since half a month ago.
But even so, mistakes are still inevitable, but fortunately there is Zhang Chu. Every time Jiao Enjun's movements are slow, he has to lead him to continue fighting. If his movements are wrong, Zhang Chu will make adjustments as soon as possible.
Others may not be able to see it, they just think that the two men played very excitingly, but they can't hide it from Yuan Heping's eyes.
What kind of master can teach such an amazing young man like Zhang Chu?
ha!
Zhang Chu struck the chest with a sword, and Jiao Enjun retreated continuously, leaping into the air with the help of wirea, and then finally used his famous stunt-Xiao Li Flying Knife.
Of course, nothing is actually thrown.
Zhang Chu's eyes widened, as if he wanted to see the scene clearly. At the same time, he exerted force on his legs and turned sideways. When he landed, he had a flying knife in his mouth.
He didn't seem to expect it, and showed a surprised expression. After hesitating for a long time, he took the flying knife out of his mouth and frowned at it.
Jiao Enjun's face was filled with relief.
"A Fei, you are already stronger than me, are you satisfied now?"
Zhang Chu frowned deeper: "Brother, you did it on purpose."
Jiao Enjun laughed, walked to Fairy Jinghong's grave, sat on the ground, picked up the wine bottle and took a sip.
"Whether it's intentional or not, I thought that with the skill of flying knives, I could change all the injustices in the world and eradicate all the evil in the world. But in the end, the people I loved died because of me, leaving me with flying knives. What’s the use of sword skills?”
Zhang Chu heard this and thought for a long time. Jia Jingwen came over and took his arm.
"hooligan!"
Zhang Chu smiled faintly, threw his iron sword out, and inserted it into the scabbard.
"Brother, I understand, take care!"
Since then, the sword has been abandoned.
Jiao Enjun didn't even know how to do it. He just looked at the tomb of Fairy Jinghong and was lost in thought.
The camera zoomed out, and A Fei and Sun Xiaohong left together, leaving only Li Xunhuan sitting alone in front of the grave.
"CUT!"
Yuan Heping shouted and checked every shot just now to make sure there were no problems before standing up and making an announcement.
"Xiao Li Feidao, finished!"
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
Filming started at the end of January and lasted until mid-May. After more than three months, the film was finally completed.
"congratulate!"
Jia Jingwen let go of Zhang Chu's arm, smiled and stretched out her hand towards him.
"Hard!"
Zhang Chu shook his hand and then stretched his limbs. The last period of time really exhausted him.
From time to time, we have to have night shows, and sometimes they end too late, and everyone just lives on the set.
I persisted until now and finally finished it.
After a simple celebration, a group photo was taken, and then Jin Demao took care of the venue and props to clean up the scene, while the others took the car back to the hotel.
There was also a finals banquet in the evening. It was Zhang Chu's first time to attend, so he was looking forward to it.
After taking a shower and tidying up, Zhang Chu and Wu Jing went downstairs to the banquet hall together.
The preparations here are almost complete, and Cui Chenggong is leading people to decorate the small ceremony table.
It looks like that.
"Not bad! It's just...a pity."
Wu Jing looked at the decoration in the banquet hall and sighed.
"What's a pity?"
"There's a lot of confusion. We've finished filming, but some people are not here!"
After saying that, he still looked regretful.
Zhang Chu had a look of helplessness on his face: "He just ended up leaving the group, but he's not dead. What do you mean he's gone?"
This is really depressing to say.
Wu Jing scratched her hair and realized that she was not being rigorous anymore, so she quickly changed the topic.
"When will your drama start shooting?"
"Half a month, just in Huairou!"
This time it was closer to home.
Wu Jing listened with envy in his heart. Look at them, they are doing one drama after another, all year round. Although he is tired, he also wants to live that kind of life.
It is the most difficult thing for an actor to have no scenes to film.
Wu Jing decided to return to the mainland for development, just hoping to get more opportunities, but now it seems that she has to wait until "Little Li Fei Knife" is released before seeing the situation.
The actors and staff also arrived one after another, and their respective groups occupied each table in the banquet hall.
Zhang Chu didn't go to get together with Yuan Heping and others. There will definitely be a toasting session later. As a director, Yuan Heping must accept everyone's compliments. If you sit with him, you will probably be drunk together.
As soon as he sat down, Jia Jingwen came over.
"You two are quite clever and know how to hide here."
They are all smart people, and they all know everything about this kind of scene.
As for the main table, let Jiao Enjun and Yu Feihong accompany them.
"Master!"
Zhang Chu looked up when he heard this and saw Fan Bingbing walking towards them.
"Why are you here? The crew has finished work?"
Fan Bingbing left the group half a month ago, but she did not leave Hengdian. The company gave her a new drama called "The Legend of Bodhidharma", and she played the heroine of one of the units.
Although she is said to be the heroine, she only has a role in four episodes.
It can be seen that although Qiong Yao's company does not want to give up Fan Bingbing, it really does not take her seriously.
They are also actors in the cast of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge". I heard that Zhao Wei and Lin Xinru are both promoting in Baodao to gain popularity, but Fan Bingbing is like an abandoned child, casually making small-cost projects. The TV series was dismissed.
As for the Dharma drama, Zhang Chu went to the studio to watch it two days ago. It was a typical example of a movie that never became popular.
The script is haphazardly made up and the characters are weird and weird. Investing money in this kind of drama is just a waste of money.
Fan Bingbing was not in a good mood. He walked to Zhang Chu and sat down, obviously angry.
"The male lead said he has a headache and needs to go to the hospital. How can we shoot the movie? Let's call it a day."
Fan Bingbing was indeed in a very bad mood. Although he knew that the company was biased, he never expected it to be so biased.
Zhao Wei and Lin Xinru were not only arranged to go to Baodao for promotion, but I heard that the company was also planning to make a movie with Huanzhu as the team, but unfortunately she was not included in it.
People have already entered the big screen, but they put her on a small crew like this. Not only can they not complain, but they must also be grateful.
Is there anyone who bullies people like this?
She was not an honest child to begin with, but during the day, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she called He Xiuqiong.
As a result, she was told that if she did not obey the company's arrangements, she would be responsible for the consequences.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his face naturally showed signs of expression.
At this time, everyone had arrived. As the director, Yuan Heping was invited to the small ceremony stage by Jin Demo.
Yuen Heping has been in the film and television industry for many years, so small scenes like this are naturally not a problem for him.
After finishing his speech quickly, he read the list of thanks for a long time, and naturally mentioned Zhang Chu's name, and then sang a song generously amidst the cheers of the crowd.
"I won't take up everyone's time. After working hard for so long, the crew has prepared some wine. I hope everyone can have a happy drink today and stop looking at me. Let's start!"
For a time, the banquet hall was filled with people drinking and drinking.
