This actor needs more money
Chapter 18 The new male lead
The next day, on the set.
Zhang Jizhong personally came to the scene to supervise. With a black face, he sat there looking like a living black evil god.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and everyone was cautious.
“Departments get ready.”
"Ding Xiu, Miao Yi, are you ready?"
"The venue is cleared."
Today's show is similar to the day before yesterday, except that the day before yesterday, Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan practiced swordplay, and today, Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan practiced swordplay.
But Shao Bin's performance and Ding Xiu's performance are completely different.
For Ding Xiu, martial arts scenes are not difficult at all. No matter what Yuan Bing asks for, he can achieve any difficult moves.
An hour later, the ground scene was filmed, and the staff tied wires to Ding Xiu and Miao Yi.
"Ding Xiu, if the wire rope breaks, you have to catch me." Miao Yi was a little scared and said in a low voice.
This was her first time filming a martial arts scene, and it was also her first time hanging wire. She had long heard that accidents often happen in martial arts scenes. The wire rope broke during the hanging, and the actors broke their limbs.
After checking the height, Ding Xiu said: "If I fall, I should be able to land safely. If you fall, I will definitely not be able to catch you. There is nothing I can do about this."
At this height, even if the rope broke, he was confident that he would be able to land safely, with no minor injuries at most.
There was nothing he could do if Miao Yi fell off, because he was still tied up and couldn't get through.
People are in the air, and their actions are completely controlled by the staff's coercion. This is not something he can control.
After hearing the conversation between the two, the staff member smiled and said: "Don't worry, we are professionals, the rope is very strong and has been tested many times."
Yuan Bing is a martial arts director, and the martial arts team on the set are all brought by his team from Hong Kong Island.
There is a special characteristic of the martial arts there, and they are famous for their seriousness in filming.
You can’t be serious. For a play like Diaowei Ya, which project team is responsible for it? The leader of the project team has to try it out himself before the starring role comes on stage.
Including installing explosives, the demolition team was the first to go to the explosion point.
If you dare not work seriously, you will often be the first to get into trouble.
In front of the monitor, Zhang Jizhong's expression softened slightly and he said to Yuan Bing: "Ding Xiu is a good guy. Apart from being a bit grumpy, he is actually quite suitable for the role of Linghu Chong."
"You want to try him instead?" Yuan Bing tried to ask.
Zhang Jizhong slowly shook his head: "It's too late. If he plays the first male role, the second male lead will also have to be found again. A lot of scenes were filmed in the ten days after the filming started. If the first male and second male actors are replaced, all these days will be in vain."
The 40 million yuan that the crew raised seems to be a lot, but it cannot support the daily expenses. There are hundreds of staff members, and basic food and accommodation are a huge expense.
Every day when the machine is turned on, more than 100,000 yuan are lost.
The departure of the male lead caused the crew to lose one million. Adding in the millions in expenses during this period, more than two million have been spent so far.
If both male and female actors were to be replaced, it would cost another huge amount of money, and then they would have to reshoot the film, which would cost several million more.
He spent so much money to shoot so few scenes, and he couldn't explain it to his superiors.
He didn't have high hopes in the first place, so Yuan Bing wasn't surprised when he heard this. He could only lament that Ding Xiu was unlucky.
If you want to be famous in the entertainment industry, you must not only have strength, but luck plays a big part.
Looking at the entertainment circles on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, some people are at the top when they debut. With one face, one song becomes popular.
Some people have superb acting skills, are obsessed with filming, and have worked tirelessly for many years to remain unknown. Where can you go to reason with them?
…
Another week passed, and the crew was filming Ding Xiu's scenes every day, from morning to night.
The original one month's worth of scenes have been filmed, and Ding Xiu estimates that he can finish filming in another week. Yuan Bing even teased him on the set, saying that he enjoyed treatment that even the kings and superstars have not enjoyed.
But this treatment stopped abruptly on the eighth day.
A new male lead joins the group.
Popular niche student Li Yapeng.
In the past two years, he starred in the TV series "Love to the End" which became a nationwide hit and became a popular idol among young people, competing with Lu Yi and Zhou Jie.
The male lead is here, and Ding Xiu's "hard days" are over.
How hard it was last week, how easy it will be next.
The crew started shooting for more than half a month, and Li Yapeng had to make up for so many days of scenes from scratch. You can imagine how busy he was, shooting from morning to night, and from night to dawn.
How many years have people aged in a month?
Because he received the script at short notice and had no time to prepare, in order to get him into the mood, Huang Jianzhong confiscated his mobile phone and prohibited him from surfing the Internet, reading newspapers, and watching TV. He was not allowed to take off his makeup when he arrived at the set every day.
Filming day and night, Li Yapeng would sleep whenever he had free time. Once when he passed by him, Ding Xiu heard that he was talking in his sleep and all his lines were lines.
After putting in so much effort, it stands to reason that the result will be very good.
But the reality is not ideal.
When I received a script at short notice, I didn’t have time to understand the characters, nor did I have time to communicate with the opponent actors. I also had to practice martial arts and sword practice, and also had to memorize lines at the last minute. How could I present a good effect?
When Ding Xiu and Miao Yi were playing mahjong, they saw TVB's Swordsman disc in the living room of her room, in which Lu Songxian played Linghu Chong.
After watching a few episodes and combining it with the original work I read, Lu Songxian performed this role very well. It can basically be said to be a one-to-one restoration.
In the original work, Ning Zhong said that Linghu Chong was a child who had not grown up. He was naughty, active, mischievous, and not serious enough. Lu Songxian had these traits.
The only shortcoming of the TVB version is probably that the scenery and props are too big. The plastic film is used as a waterfall, and the foam template is used as a wall. Just a few scenes are repeated over and over again, and it has a strong sense of wumao.
Closer to home, Li Yapeng is a bit serious and his acting is too dull, which is different from the Linghu Chong imagined by Ding Xiu.
But this has nothing to do with Ding Xiu anymore, because he is about to finish the film.
The last scene, where Shang wanted to cross a cliff for revenge and reveal Yue Buqun's true face, was also the page of the script he got when he auditioned for the role.
"Laudenuo, I won't treat you badly if you take me to Mount Huashan. Don't you want to know the evil sword manual? I'm telling you, it doesn't matter if you all hear it."
At this time, Ding Xiu was wearing a bright red gown, with his long hair hanging casually on the back of his head, his eyes covered with cloth, and the dragon's whiskers on his forehead were floating in the wind.
His voice was different from before, a bit hoarse and sharp.
"Lin Pingzhi, what do you want to do?" Yue Buqun, played by Wei Zi, spoke up.
"Aren't you going to have a showdown with Ren Woxing? If everyone under your command learns the evil sword manual, then who else in the world will be your opponent?"
"Okay, let me tell you, the first sentence is that if you want to practice this skill, you must first leave the palace." At this point, Ding Xiu laughed loudly, and then continued after he was tired of laughing: "Yue Buqun, you Is the head of the Five Mountains Sword Sect seceding from the palace? Do you dare to take off your pants and show it to everyone..."
For the same page of lines, a few months later, Ding Xiu's interpretation went even further.
During the audition, he was a novice in acting and didn't understand acting at all. He relied on his personal feelings. After joining the cast, he gained his own understanding of the characters after being trained by the director.
It can be said that he is really getting into the act now.
