Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 265 Riding Genius

 The equestrian instructor on the side couldn't help but praise Anqi when he saw his elegant posture and coordination of his hands and feet.

“The ride is really good. It took only half a month to perform the movements to such a standard. Not many actors in the crew can do it.”

An Qi couldn't hold back her lips when she heard this. She is not the protagonist in this drama, she is just a special guest actor. In addition, love&five is very popular now and there are many announcements. She usually does not stay on the set, only when there is a role. The time will come.

Although I spent a lot of money to hire a riding instructor from outside, the time I could really squeeze out for practice was very limited. I only practiced three or four times in total, which added up to less than six hours.

 Could it be that I am really a riding genius?

An Qi thought happily, completely forgetting how embarrassed she was during the previous few practices. The coach advised her not to take pictures.

Hmm, isn’t there something like this in those novels about cultivating immortals? It’s a sudden enlightenment. The cultivation world calls this an epiphany. Yes, this is an epiphany.

Although An Qi's mind also flashed through Malu's face, and the words he said when ordering.

However, rather than believing that a dish can help people master riding skills, it is better to believe that she will have an epiphany on her own.

 An Qi became more confident and bolder as she rode. She began to tap the horse's side quickly inwards with her legs.

The horse beneath him received the rider’s instructions and began to gallop and speed up.

 The oncoming strong wind blew Anqi's hair and ancient clothes waving in the wind.

 But there was no trace of fear in her heart. Instead, she was so excited that she wanted to shout into the wind.

 Because she could feel that the horse under her crotch was connected with her own mind, and every move of the latter was under her control.

A man and a horse were galloping past on the path, and a row of debris appeared in front of them. It should have been temporarily placed there by the prop team, including sandbags and carts.

Anqi originally wanted to let him go, but sensing the horse's eagerness to try, Anqi changed his mind and chose to let nature take its course, without pulling up the reins, and bravely stared straight ahead.

 The equestrian instructor was the first to sense the danger, and his smiling expression suddenly froze. He quickly got on his horse and wanted to catch up.

 He doesn’t want the female star of the popular idol group Love&Five to have an accident happen under his nose.

 Even if Anqi and her team don’t hold him accountable, fans of love&five can praise him.

However, there was already a distance between the two sides, and An Qi was riding so fast that even if he wanted to catch up now, it was already too late.

Anqi and her horse had already arrived in front of the pile of debris. Then Anqi leaned forward and hung on the stirrups, and the horse jumped up.

 Drawing a beautiful arc in the air!

Hooped over two wooden carts in one breath, and then landed safely on the ground.

　　The equestrian instructor who had just climbed on the horse opened his mouth wide when he saw this scene, as if he had seen a ghost.

Not far away, a man wearing a black vest, black-rimmed glasses, and an unsmiling beard also witnessed what just happened.

But he just took a quick glance and saw a figure from behind, so he pulled the assistant director aside and asked, "Who was that person who passed by just now?"

"Which one?" The assistant director was communicating with the on-site producer and didn't pay attention to what happened before. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked in the direction mentioned by the black vest. At this time, An Qi had already stopped the horse. The assistant director was also responsible for the actors' arrangements. He quickly recognized the person on the horse and replied.

“This is Miss Anqi from love&five. Her role will be in the next scene. She is probably trying to find feelings in advance..."

At this point, he paused. Not long ago, Anqi's assistant came to see Director Xu to talk about Anqi's horse riding scene. The assistant wanted to change it to a partial shooting, and find a small car with three wheels or something. carrying An Qi on his back.

 Only shoot the upper body part, and then shoot the horse separately. Together they become a complete horse riding scene.

This is actually a commonly used shooting technique in the industry. Not only many new dramas after the millennium are shot this way, but also old dramas from the past, such as the horse riding scenes in TVB's "Legend of the Dragon" also have actors sitting on a merry-go-round. Filmed.

There was also the chase in "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier", which was also shot while sitting on a tractor.

 The biggest advantage of doing this is to protect the actors. After all, riding a horse is a very dangerous thing, and some actors are not good at riding horses. Once they ride a real horse, their whole body becomes tense and their expressions become stiff. On the contrary, they do not perform as well as when they are relaxed on the props.

It can also save costs for the crew. However, as an internationally renowned director, Director Xu has a generous budget and very strict requirements for actors, and he is also a lover of real-life shooting.

In order to film a blasting scene, four thousand kilograms of explosives were used at one go, razing half of the set to the ground.

Everyone on the crew was afraid that one day he would go crazy and on a whim, even the murder scene would be shot.

The assistant director has been working with Director Xu for four years, so he naturally knows the latter’s temper, but he still persuades him.

"Director Xu, Miss Anqi is just a guest appearance and doesn't have much of a role anyway. How about we take a step back? A good man doesn't fight with women. Love&Five has many fans. Even if Anqi shows up in the movie, at least he can give We have a box office of this amount.”

 The assistant director raised three fingers.

However, even in the face of such temptation, Director Xu remained indifferent.

 The assistant director had a bitter look on his face, but his respect for Director Xu deepened in his heart. Maybe he could become an international director. This kind of persistence and pursuit is not something that a young director like them can match.

 After the result, he heard Director Xu say, "Xiao Tao, what do you think of changing the heroine to An Qi?"

"Ah..." the assistant director was dumbfounded, "Well, it doesn't have to be like this."

Having said that, the admiration for Director Xu in his heart has not diminished but increased. Maybe he can become an international director. The speed of embracing traffic, and the ruthlessness and determination to slap himself in the face are not like theirs. Young directors can't compare.

However, he also noticed that the face of the female lead beside him changed drastically and she was trembling. He couldn't bear it and said hurriedly, "Xiao Yu was selected from tens of thousands of people in the sea. Didn't you say that she is the most like Xie Ruru?"

Director Xu touched his stubble, "But she doesn't know how to ride a horse. She still can't do it after practicing for so long. It seems she doesn't have the talent anymore. Xie Ruru is a horse bandit. Forget about other things. Why can't she ride a horse well? Is it possible? The audience has no sense of empathy at all. Isn’t this fake? Why, is it possible that she also wants me to use partial close-ups?”

Xiao Yu is just a junior at the Film Academy, so how can he have the guts to make demands from a big director like Director Xu like An Qi did.

Hearing that Director Xu was planning to replace him, he was already confused, his eyes were red, and he was looking pitifully at the assistant director with pleading eyes.
