This actor needs more money

Ding Xiu could only listen to the director for this kind of thing, and he could shoot whatever he wanted.

Zhang Ziyi is known as a certain girl, and she is promoted by Zhang Yimou step by step, and he takes her with him in every scene.

Ding Xiu didn't know what the real relationship between the two was, but seeing that they usually chatted easily, he knew that their relationship was unusual.

Ding Xiu likes to be straightforward and doesn't like to get entangled and get angry, so he is always polite to Zhang Ziyi.

"Then I'll ask the director." It was expected that he wouldn't get an answer from Ding Xiu, so Zhang Ziyi got up and went to find Zhang Yimou.

With someone missing from his ears, Ding Xiu was happy and quiet, holding the script and carefully pondering the lines and the character's heart.

The character he plays is called Capt. Ding, and Andy Lau plays Capt. Liu. From the names of the characters, you can tell how sloppy the old man is.

At this moment, Ding Xiu was holding a script that the old man claimed to have been polishing for three years.

He didn't get the complete script and was still reading the script outline at home. Ding Xiu thought the story was good and interesting, a bit like Infernal Affairs.

But after getting the entire script, I was a little disappointed. First of all, there were a lot of loopholes.

Feidaomen has done so many things just to lure the officers and soldiers of the state government to fight to the death, which is a bit redundant.

In the script, the little girl has a pretty tough life. She dies and survives many times after being stabbed, so it would be better to change her name to Xiaoqiang.

The martial arts are also distorted. Ding Xiu has seen Zhang Ziyi's water sleeve dance. This kind of martial arts is no longer an ordinary martial arts drama, but Jin Yong's kind of inner strength.

It seems that this section was specially designed to highlight the beauty and figure of the little girl.

This is inappropriate, the gain outweighs the loss, and it does not match the overall martial arts style, because other people's martial arts are normal and not so exaggerated. The sudden introduction of such martial arts is like a cultivator in a martial arts drama. It is too abrupt.

What’s more, the characters’ emotions are weak and the emotional foreshadowing is not enough. Suddenly they fall in love, suddenly they fall in love, and suddenly they have a love triangle.

Ding Xiu couldn't keep up with the old man's thinking.

"Hello."

While Ding Xiu was still reading the script, a voice sounded in his ear. He looked up and saw a young and beautiful woman.

She is dressed very elegantly, and her whole body exudes the virtuousness of Xiaojiabiyu.

Because the other party was not wearing a costume, Ding Xiu was not sure who he was, so he just said calmly: "Is something wrong?"

The woman said politely: "Excuse me, which room is Director Zhang Yimou's room?"

Not many people dared to call Zhang Yimou by his name on the set. Usually everyone called him Director Zhang. Ding Xiu paid more attention and waved to the staff not far away.

"Who is that? Someone is looking for Director Zhang."

The staff trotted over to communicate with the woman, and Ding Xiu took the opportunity to slip away.

After a while, I heard a quarrel coming from Lao Zhang's room.

"I'm telling her a story, please don't make trouble unreasonably."

"Talk about the drama? Is there one person lying on the bed and the other person lying on the chair when telling the drama?"

"You said one is on the bed and the other is on the chair. What can I do with such a distance?"

"Master, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I'm a little tired. I just lay here for a while. Don't get me wrong..."

There was no one watching outside the room, everyone lowered their heads and silently did their own thing, but when they were doing something, their ears perked up.

It was supposed to be filming, but the assistant director didn't dare to push it, so he just waited.

After more than ten minutes, the woman left angrily, and the old man walked out of the room, one cheek a little red.

Ding Xiu smiled, but Cheng Xiaodong saw him and glared at him. Ding Xiu put away his smile.

…

"Are the camera lights ready?"

"Shoot when you're ready."

"Ding Xiu, be real when we kiss for a while, don't have any scruples." Zhang Yimou personally told Ding Xiu the drama.

Ding Xiu looked at Zhang Ziyi, or to be precise, at the woman in the distance behind her.

My sister-in-law hasn't left yet. She said she was on a visit and wanted to see more. She probably won't be able to leave for ten days and a half.

Zhang Ziyi hesitated and said: "Director."

Zhang Yimou comforted him: "It's okay. When shooting, we will shoot from behind Ding Xiu. You two can discuss it and decide the scale yourself."

Ding Xiu nodded and said to Zhang Ziyi: "Sister Ziyi, I listen to you."

Leaving space for the two of them, Zhang Yimou left.

Ding Xiu and Zhang Ziyi discussed the acting method and rehearsed it in advance.

Before the official filming started, Zhang Ziyi personally taught Ding Xiu his acting experience and some taboos in acting.

For example, don’t stick your tongue out during a kissing scene, don’t start a sex scene, don’t do it a second time if you can finish it in one take, etc.

Ding Xiu expressed his gratitude humbly.

"Mom!"

"Come, come, guest, what are your orders?"

"I heard there's a new top star here?"

After the filming officially started, Ding, who was dressed in a noble manner, hugged each other and played tug-of-war with the girl from Peony Square while drinking.

That expression, that smile, there are so many colors and colors, he looks like a playboy, and no one who has had 180 club experiences would be able to portray him so expressively.

The old man in front of the monitor couldn't help but praise Ding Xiu's acting skills.

"You are quite well-informed." The madam played by Song Dandan replied with a smile.

After taking a sip of wine, Ding Baotou said with a smile: "How do you look?" "

"not bad."

"Then hurry up."

Picking up the silver thrown by Ding Baotou, the grandmother wearing a big red peony on her head said, "But I have one thing to make clear. Is she blind?"

Ding Captou was even more excited: "Blind? Then she must be special. I would like to give it a try."

After a while, the top card came over. This character was called Xiaomei, played by Zhang Ziyi. She was a blind person.

In fact, she can see, deliberately pretending to be blind.

Not to mention, Zhang Ziyi's performance as a blind man was good, his eyes were unfocused, as if he really couldn't see.

The two asked and answered each other. After a few words, Ding Baotou asked the young girl to come forward, then drew out his sword and slapped her in the face.

The tip of the sword slid down, took off the little girl's coat, and asked her to dance.

"There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent."

"Look at the Qingren City, then look at the Qingren Country."

While dancing, the little girl sang loudly, with graceful dancing and intoxicating singing.

Ding Xiu was fascinated by this scene, as if he had really returned to the brothel of the Ming Dynasty. He squinted his eyes, gently tapped his knees with his hands, and sang along with the rhythm.

"There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent."

"Look at the Qingren City, then look at the Qingren Country."

After the dance, the little girl lowered her waist and stopped in front of Ding Baotou with her pretty face.

Who could bear it? Of course, Capt. Ding took action directly, pressed the little girl on the carpet, and wanted to execute her on the spot.

The surrounding singers came up one after another to stop Ding Captou's brutality.

The younger sister also screamed, shouting words like stop, no, beast.

But they ignored Ding Xiu's strength and couldn't hold him back at all.

In an instant, the hall of Peony Square was in chaos, filled with chirping and shouting.

"stop!!"

Liu Dehua, played by Liu Dehua, appeared, followed by four or five government officials.

The women in Peony Square got out of the way.

Dante Catcher acted as if he didn't see it and pushed the little girl to the ground.

Well, the kind with the back facing up.

There was no specific action in the script, and Ding Xiu didn't know how he ended up in this position while pulling.

"Be brave and take it down for me!" Liu Captou was furious and immediately asked someone to capture Ding Captou.

"Click, pass!"

"Make up your make-up and shoot again from camera number two."

Zhang Yimou's voice came from the scene.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Ziyi, are you okay?" Ding Xiu immediately helped Zhang Ziyi up.

Zhang Ziyi, whose hair was messy and breathing heavily, held her waist with one hand and waved with the other: "It's okay, it's just that you are too strong, I can't get away."

This LSP's performance is really good, her animalistic nature is so strong that her waist will be broken.

She couldn't help but shudder at the thought of two more kissing scenes between the two.

"I'll be gentler then."

"It's okay, that's it, it looks real."

"Give me a tissue to wipe off my sweat." Zhang Ziyi waved to the assistant.

After three takes, Ding Xiu finally finished filming his scene today and was taken away by people from the Yamen.

Liu Baotou, who was devoted to the public and upright, asked Ding Baotou to be taken away, and then asked his little sister to dance for him.

Countless horses galloped past in my little sister's heart.

Can only jump.

This time the difficulty increased, and Captain Liu asked her to play the drum with her sleeves.

As a result, a wonderful sleeve dance appeared. Every time Mr. Liu hit a drum with peanuts, the blind girl listened to the sound and hit it with his sleeves.

At the end of the dance, Capt. Liu clapped his hands with great satisfaction, then cleared out a plate of peanuts and beat dozens of drums at the same time.

The little girl thought, "Aren't you kidding me?" She rolled up her long sleeves and used Ding's sword to strike Liu's head.

The two engage in a sword fight.

Ding Xiu watched the show from a distance, with Cheng Xiaodong standing next to him.

"Lao Cheng, did you design this sleeve dance? Your skills are not good enough."

Everyone who has danced knows that hitting the drum head with a water sleeve is not impossible, but goes against science, just like a bullet turning a corner.

Even Newton's coffin boards couldn't hold it down.

Even Ding Xiu Shang did not dare to say that he could beat the drum with his long sleeves.

Not even him, let alone Zhang Ziyi.

In the performance just now, Zhang Ziyi's long sleeves fell off as soon as she threw them out, far away from the drum head.

It is estimated that post-editing can only be used here, switching shots one by one, and splicing them together using montage techniques to create the scene of sleeves hitting the drum surface.

"It was my design." Cheng Xiaodong crossed his arms and said with a sad face: "Originally, I wanted to use the sword dance, the one you taught Liu Yifei during the training of Tian Long Ba Bu."

Ding Xiu remembered that this was the case. Sword dance was a special skill in the brothel, so it was very suitable for this scene.

"Then why don't you use it?"

"The director didn't let me do anything. Director Zhang wanted to be soft and show off his figure. He felt that the sword dance was not good. It was a bit too sharp and murderous, which didn't suit the character."

Ding Xiu shut up.

Interference in a director's creation also depends on what kind of director he is, and someone as strong as Mr. Lao cannot be said to have done so.

Suggestions may not always work.

Besides, it’s thankless.

To put it bluntly, they are part-time workers, and they can do whatever their boss arranges.

The next day, Liu Dehua asked for leave.

Mei Gu's eight concerts are coming to an end, and as a concert guest, he needs to come and support her.

Liu Dehua was not here, so the director spent the whole day filming the scenes between Ding Xiu and Zhang Ziyi.

In the next few days, Ding Xiu had a very fulfilling life. He joined the team at eight o'clock every day and got off work at five o'clock in the afternoon. The scripts on hand were also reduced page by page.

Liu Dehua took two days off and did not come back after two days.

Vacation extended.

He said that Mei Gu was seriously ill and he couldn't move away, so he asked him to pat first.

The old man had no choice but to continue filming Ding Xiu.

As the second male lead, Ding Xiu has much fewer scenes than the lead male lead, Liu Dehua, and there are only a few exciting fight scenes.

One day, two days, three days, four days, five days...

He also didn't expect that this shoot would last for so many days and that it would be finished if Andy Lau didn't come back.

In December, the star fell.

When he heard the news, Ding Xiu couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Dehua returned to the crew again, but his condition was much worse. He often failed to get into the scenes, so he had to act hard.

In the sea of ​​flowers, Ding Baotou ushered in his second kissing scene.

This time no one rocked the boat.

Beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, young men and women, dry firewood and fire.

I don't know if it was because my sister-in-law didn't visit the class, but before the atmosphere got better, the old man shouted "Ka", and Ding Xiu didn't let Ding Xiu take any advantage.

Ding Xiu was frightened when a hoarse voice roared over.

It almost caused a psychological shadow.

As the old rule goes, Capt. Ding goes to the end and Capt. Liu takes the lead.

In the play, Capt. Liu is also a member of the Feidao Clan. He is an old acquaintance of his younger sister and the two had a relationship.

On the way to escape, Xiaomei and Ding Baotou watched the two flirting and kissing endlessly, and they could only feel the green color on their heads.

He held the little girl in his arms and placed her gently on the ground. Just when he was about to vent his anger, a flying knife flew over from behind him.

The boss of the Flying Knife Sect appears.

To be honest, for a moment, Liu Dehua wanted to switch roles with Ding Xiu.

He, the male lead, is too frustrated.

…

Ding Xiu's last scene was filmed abroad.

A very beautiful spot.

On the day of filming, there was an unexpected heavy snowfall. Zhang Yi simply made mistakes, set up the machine, and the crew started filming.

On a snowy day, Ding Xiu and Liu Dehua started a decisive battle.

Each held a long knife and started fighting.

The snow was heavy and the cold wind made it hard to keep one's eyes open. The two actors were shivering from the cold.

Before filming started, Andy Lau specifically told Ding Xiu to be merciful, and Ding Xiu replied that he had no problem, just go ahead and cut him off.

The heavy snow made it difficult for him to move his steps. Liu Dehua was very nervous during the filming of this scene, for fear of accidentally cutting Ding Xiu.

It turned out that he was overly worried, as Ding Xiu took every sword easily.

"Click, pass!"

"Congratulations to Ding Xiu for finishing the shoot!"

Because it is a scenic spot, there is no champagne or gun salute to celebrate.

Fortunately, Ding Xiu prepared it himself. He took a bottle of local Beluga vodka from his assistant and took a sip, which warmed his body a lot.

In the heavy snow, step by step, Ding Xiu, wearing a coat, slowly and leisurely drank wine and reached the highest point of the scenic spot.

As far as the eye can see, the mountains are covered with silver.

It was November when I joined the group, and it's now the end of January, and the filming took more than two months.

Before you know it, it’s already 2004!

This is his fourth year in this world.

After returning home, it was time to celebrate New Year's Eve, but this year's New Year's Eve was difficult. The crew of Legend of Sword and Fairy was about to start filming, and he couldn't stay at home for a few days.

All the actors have been selected over there, he will be the male lead, and Liu Yifei, who is still in college, will be the female lead.

The second male lead is a newcomer named Hu Ge. He is currently a senior in college and is a signed artist of Sugar Man Film and Television.

The second female lead is An Yixuan, an idol actress from Benzhou.

Also from Wan Province is the female number three, named Liu Pinyan, who is a minor and younger than Liu Yifei.

In addition, there are also many actors from Hong Kong Island.

Co-production between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places is very popular nowadays.
