"Cut!"
When Ju Jueliang shouted to stop, Li Tang was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look over.
Ju Jueliang said to him with an apologetic look, "Li Tang, I'm sorry, it's not about the performance."
After saying that, he yelled at the photographer he brought with him: "Push to the street, close-up, close-up!"
As a director, he keenly sensed the overwhelming sense of oppression when Li Tang appeared on the stage, which was very suitable for Yang Kang's aura as the young prince of the Kingdom of Jin. Only close-ups can give the audience a more intuitive feeling. The photographer only used a regular mid-range shot, and the effect was naturally greatly reduced.
The photographer knew something was wrong with him and hurriedly said: "Sorry, director!"
After he finished, he said to Li Tang: "Li Sheng, I'm sorry!"
When he heard that it was not his problem, Li Tang waved his hand and said, "It's okay."
During the filming process, whether it is an issue with the actors or the creative staff behind the scenes, it is a normal thing. Especially for actors, your performance may require reshooting over and over again, while photographers, lighting technicians, props, etc. are still there to accompany you over and over again. So as long as everyone understands each other about this kind of thing, it will be fine.
"Li Tang, just keep it as it is. It's very good. Let's do it again."
"OK!"
"Ready...Action!"
Li Tangyue stepped out from the crowd, with his hands behind his back. This time he turned slightly sideways and leaned his upper body slightly forward. At this time, his physical skills were reflected. After all, the Chinese classical dance in the school was not practiced in vain, and there was a sense of coolness in it.
I saw his sharp eyes, looking directly at Wulan Baoyin sitting on the couch: "Dog robber, you used tricks to sink my ship, you are not afraid of the ridicule of the world!"
At this time, the young village owner Lu Guanying, who was standing in front of Wulan Baoyin, said with a proud look on his face: "You are the little prince of the Kingdom of Jin, why are you mentioning the word "jianghu" to us people from the green forest?"
Li Tang raised his head, drooped his eyelids, still looked condescending, and said with a strange air: "When I was in Zhongdu, I heard about the names of Jiangnan wealthy people for a long time, and thought that he was really an upright and upright man. When I saw him today... hum!"
As he spoke, he glanced around and snorted contemptuously.
The young and energetic Lawrence Lu was indeed fooled: "Huh? What are you humming?"
Li Tang took two steps on the spot and faced the camera with his hands behind his back.
This time the Hong Kong photographer was very smart and quickly pushed for a close-up from the side.
Li Tang looked disdainful and said, "They are just some villains who use more to win against less. They are so called unworthy of fame!"
Which is unbearable? When Lu Guanying heard this, he said angrily: "If I can defeat you alone, will I die without any regrets?"
"good!"
These words played into Li Tang's mind.
Otherwise, Yang Kang is smart. He didn't panic at all when he was trapped in the gangster's den, and even the leader was so excited that he challenged him to a duel in order to take advantage of the opportunity to escape.
"As long as any one of you in Guiyun Village can outshine me in an upright and upright manner, I will tie you up without any hesitation."
"Cut, okay, passed!"
Ju Jueliang shouted loudly with a smile on his face.
Because he couldn't find any fault with Li Tang in this scene, it was even better than he expected, and he felt very happy for a while.
No matter where the director is, he hopes that the actors he works with will have outstanding acting skills, so that everyone can save worry and effort.
Then came the martial arts show. The martial arts brothers were busy tying wires, installing pulleys, preparing for the lifting of wires, and getting stand-ins in place. This martial arts scene was not very difficult. Li Tang originally wanted to do it in person. After all, he had practiced fighting before, but on second thought he decided to forget it. He was going to attend the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival tomorrow. Don't make any mistakes. Secondly, the martial arts brothers are already ready, so we must give them a chance to perform.
In fact, if a martial arts scene uses a lot of stand-ins, it may be the easiest scene, because there is no need for any acting skills at all, and there is no need to be distracted, just pose in front of the camera and make a few gestures.
Of course, in this case, the excitement will be greatly reduced. Generally it can only be applied to actors with no martial arts skills, such as Zhou Xun and Li Yapeng. This is why in the booming era of Hong Kong films, almost all actors in martial arts films were martial arts masters.
For Li Tang, a few difficult and dangerous actions were mainly performed by a stand-in, and most of the fighting scenes were done by himself.
"Brother Li, try it."
The Wu Xing brothers helped him tie the wire rope.
Through the previous two days of competition, Li Tang had already won the respect of his martial arts brothers.
The martial arts brothers have to eat this bowl of food, and Li Tang is a star and a movie king. He may have been polite at first, but later found that he really couldn't beat him. The martial arts brothers were embarrassed and at the same time they were convinced by him.
Everything is ready to start filming again.
Li Tang first kicked away a free agent who was uttering arrogant words, forcing the young owner Lu Guanying to exit the game in person.
According to the designed movement, Li Tang used the Nine Yin White Bone Claws. His body was hung in mid-air like it was flying, and he turned his tiger claws sideways to pounce on Lu Guanying.
Originally, Lu Guanying faced his offensive, made a few dodge movements gracefully, and then changed to a substitute to launch a counterattack.
But he was cool and his dodge was half a beat too slow. At this time, Li Tang was hanging in the air. He was relying entirely on inertia. The movements of his hands were as fast as the other. When he saw that his opponent's movements were slowing down, he couldn't hold back at all and grabbed the opponent's head directly. He put his hair into a bun and pulled off the other person's entire hair condom.
"Cut!"
Action director Ma Yucheng shouted to stop, and at the same time shouted at the actor who played Lu Guanying: "Huang Chong, what are you doing? The action is too slow, do you know?"
"I'm sorry, director." Huang Chong apologized quickly.
But Ma Yucheng still cursed: "I'm sorry, what's the use? I'm so stupid..."
At this time, Li Tang had been put down from mid-air. Although the attack he just launched was very simple, it actually required his body to be hung sideways in mid-air, and he had to rely on strong core strength to maintain his body balance. It was precisely because of this that Huang Chong's dodge was too slow just now, so he couldn't help but pull off his hood.
If he stood on the ground and fought face to face, even if the opponent's movements were slow, he would adapt to the situation and change his moves to compensate, so that no one would notice his flaws.
When he took a breath, he frowned when he saw Ma Yucheng still cursing. Originally, actors deserved to be scolded when they made mistakes, but scolding them all the time was a bit excessive.
Because he joined the team late, Li Tang didn't have much contact with Ma Yucheng before, but I heard that he had a very bad temper. I had a conflict with the actors when I was filming the grassland scene. Moreover, he was the one who initiated the previous conflict between the crew and the chief director Wang Rui. Fortunately, Zhang Dabeard also had objections to Wang Rui, which is why he is still thriving in the crew.
Perhaps because there was an example of an actor being fired from the crew before because he had a quarrel with Ma Yucheng, the actor named Huang Chong never dared to say anything even though he was scolded.
Originally, Li Tang was not a nosy person, but after all, this scene was between him and Huang Chong. If there was a problem, it was because he couldn't hold back his movements. Seeing Lei let Huang Chong carry it alone, he couldn't bear to listen anymore and said: "Director Huang, okay, can you let the actors touch up their makeup first, and we can start filming later."
"Oh, no problem."
After hearing Li Tang's words, Ma Yucheng immediately changed his face and said with a smile.
Ma Yucheng is actually a second-rate martial arts instructor in Hong Kong. Because he came from the same school as Master Yuan Bing, he was introduced by Yuan Bing to join the crew of "The Condor" as a martial arts director.
He dared to scold a supporting character like Huang Chong, but he didn't dare to show his teeth to Li Tang. The reason is simple, because Li Tang is famous enough and has a good relationship with Zhang Dabeard, so he can't afford to offend him.
Huang Chong, who had been keeping silent, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly glanced at Li Tang, picked up his hood and went to the makeup artist to touch up his makeup.
There is no way, the crew is very realistic, if there is no role, there will be no human rights.
This Huang Chong looks quite young, but he is actually seven years older than Li Tang. He is a graduate of Nortel. After being around for so many years, he is still a minor supporting character, and all the edges and corners of his body have been polished off.
Not long after, Huang Chong hurried back after finishing his makeup. While getting ready, he walked up to Li Tang and said sincerely: "Teacher Li, thank you!"
"No, Teacher Huang, you are a senior, I don't dare to take it seriously. It's okay, we are all colleagues." Li Tang said with a smile.
Huang Chong's nose was sore and he almost shed tears. After so many years of supporting roles, he had already seen what it means to be in a cold world, and this was the first time he heard such heartwarming words from the protagonist.
And he knew very well that Li Tang seemed to be urging him just now, but in fact he was helping him. These days, few people would risk offending someone to speak up for a supporting character.
After such an episode, Huang Chong obviously held his breath. The martial arts scene with Li Tang was completed very well, but there were two NGs during the subsequent dialogue in the literary scene.
Li Tang also figured it out. Mr. Huang, who graduated from the Nortel Performance Department, has average acting talent. He relies more on experience to act. To put it bluntly, the performance is routine, and the appearance condition has no special features. No wonder After so many years of messing around, I still can't get ahead.
…
The opening ceremony of this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was very grand, with well-known CCTV hosts, He Shen, Du Xiaoyue and local Ningbo hosts co-hosting the event. The entire opening night was almost like a concert, with singers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places gathered together.
As a nominee for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor, Li Tang went on stage to accept the nomination certificate along with many shortlisted candidates. This may be the greatest significance of attending the opening ceremony as a candidate for the nomination.
However, this year's opening movie is very good. It is "The Garden of Dreams" directed by Hong Kong director Yang Fan and starring Rie Miyazawa, Joey Wong, Daniel Wu and others.
It is said that this is Wang Zuxian's masterpiece, and it is precisely because of this that Li Tang went to observe it with great interest.
The movie is very touching, but the storyline is very similar to that of "Farewell My Concubine", except that the roles of Zhang Fengyi and Zhang Guorong were replaced by Wang Zuxian and Miyazawa Rie, while the character played by Daniel Wu resembled Gong Li's existence.
To put it bluntly, it is a replica of "Farewell My Concubine", with the men replaced by women and the women replaced by men. But this does not prevent Li Tang from enjoying the entanglement of the beautiful couple Miyazawa Rie and Wang Zuxian.
In fact, this movie was already released in Hong Kong in the first half of this year. However, it could not be released in the mainland because of the lesbian elements. Unexpectedly, it became the opening film of this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.
The day after the opening ceremony, he returned to the Peach Blossom Island crew without stopping. In fact, film festivals like this are nothing more than cultural and artistic performances and economic performances. They are more originated from activities organized by local governments to enhance the city's reputation and attract investment.
The various so-called film forums during the film festival are nothing more than for filmmakers to entertain themselves, or become a stage for the promotion of new films.
"Why are you back?"
Jiang Qinqin was surprised when she saw him in the hotel lobby.
"It's boring."
Li Tang smiled and saw Jiang Qinqin dressed casually and asked, "Are you having a show today?"
"No, we have to wait until tomorrow night to film Ouyang Ke vs. Mei Chaofeng."
When Li Tang heard this, he suddenly said on a whim: "Then how about we go out to the island to have some fun?"
He returned to the crew aimlessly, but if he was really bored, it would be better to work hard with the martial arts brothers on the crew than to waste time at the film festival.
In fact, the martial arts in the crew are nominally from Hong Kong, but in fact most of them are from mainland China. The most indispensable ones are the so-called national martial arts champions. Most of these people are members of martial arts teams in various places in mainland China. Once they retire and have no skills except kung fu, it is a good choice to go to Hong Kong to work as a stand-in or martial arts practitioner.
Including Wu Jing, Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhang Jin, who played well with Li Tang before, all followed this path. It's just that Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzuo had better luck. Of course, this was also related to their strength. They quickly emerged in Hong Kong and became Li Lianlian's overtime workers one after another. It's a pity that there is only one Li Lianjie, Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzhuo are both doing well now.
Because he is from a martial arts team and has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, they know a lot of kung fu routines. Li Tang often asks them for marksmanship when he has something to do recently.
The crew of "Hero" has almost finished shooting the scenes in the northwest desert. Recently, there is news that the crew is gradually starting to move to Hengdian. If nothing goes wrong, he should report to the crew of "Hero" in early November.
Jiang Qinqin was bored staying on the island. When she heard Li Tang's suggestion, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked: "Where are we going?"
"Is Mount Putuo good?"
The closest tourist attraction to Taohua Island is of course Putuo Mountain, one of the four famous Buddhist mountains.
Jiang Qinqin shook her head and said, "I spent some time on the island during filming in the past two years. It was not interesting."
If you’ve been there and played there, it’s naturally not interesting.
"Then let's go to NB city for a stroll. We didn't even have a good stroll last time to promote the movie, and the film festival is being held these two days, which is very lively."
"In NB city?"
Jiang Qinqin was a little hesitant. There didn't seem to be much to see in the city.
But then Li Tang's words touched her.
"I'm tired of eating seafood all the time on the island. I heard that there are many delicacies in Yinzhou Old Street over there..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Qinqin nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, let's go there."
