Chapter 142: Trapped in a cocoon
Shen Xiaohai, who plays the role of the leader of the Jinguang Sect, has been very depressed recently.
Before coming to the set of "A Chinese Ghost Story", his friend Nie Yuan took advantage of the wine to complain to him about his painful experience of being robbed of his role by his connections.
Same disciple, good friend and partner, the relationship between the two is naturally close.
So after he came to the crew, the first thing he did was to observe this person.
But when he didn't look, he looked again. Once he looked at it, Shen Xiaohai was confused.
The reason for confusion is simple. Zhang Yuan's performance is far from what he imagined.
In his mind, the people who are related to the crew should be...
Shen Xiaohai looked around and quickly found two standard templates.
Chen Xiaodong and Xu Xiyuan.
Chen Xiaodong is better. As a singer, his talent lies in singing. Although he has appeared in many movies and TV series, his talent and acting skills are average.
By the way, this guy even attended the Spring Festival Gala two years ago and is very popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
As the producer's designated male lead, he has a good attitude towards work, but his abilities are limited.
The other one was different.
Our classmate Shancai belongs to the standard image of a guanxi household, who is both good and fun-loving.
He is not as talented as Chen Xiaodong and has insufficient experience, but his attitude towards work cannot be said to be conscientious, but it is better than nothing.
When I arrived at the set every day, one assistant brought water, another assistant carried snacks, and another assistant gave me a full-body massage.
Even when reading the script, someone was holding it for her. All she had to do was move her mouth and shout...
"Turn the page."
That was all.
There were frequent NGs during filming, either because I couldn't get into the mood or I forgot my lines.
Moreover, this NG queen was not ashamed, and often laughed out loud while slapping her legs. The director and screenwriter could only chuckle awkwardly in agreement.
In fact, there are times when Big S performs well, such as in the later film "Sword Rain". Her performance in it was very standard, and her character was also very stable.
But that also depends on who she is being compared with. There are also masters such as Wang Xueqi and Michelle Yeoh in that film. In comparison, her acting skills seem average.
But that film will have to wait until 7 years later. Without these seven years of hard work, Xu Xiyuan's current ability is really a little bit tight.
Compared with these two, Zhang Yuan, who was also known as a "connected person" in Shen Xiaohai's mind, had a completely different performance in the eyes of the Jinguang Sect Master.
Zhang Yuan has no assistant, so he does everything by himself.
Are the conditions for related households so difficult now?
And Shen Xiaohai often saw Zhang Yuan walking and memorizing the script in his free time. Most of the time, he would show up on the set when there was no role.
In the words of professional actors, this is called finding the feeling and keeping oneself immersed in the script.
Are all the guanxi households so busy now?
Besides, after a few scenes with rivals, Shen Xiaohai changed his mind a lot.
“That’s not right, are all the related parties so powerful?”
Shen Xiaohai was confused, always feeling that something was wrong, and always wary of Zhang Yuan.
A few days later, the crew.
"Stuck!" Li Huizhu frowned and shouted: "Xuanxuan, your action is wrong again."
Xuanxuan nodded very embarrassedly.
"Hey..." Director Li sighed: "No way."
She turned back and said to Chen Shisan: "Xuan Xuan's body is too hard, her movements It doesn’t look good.”
“Indeed, she is not suitable for fighting scenes.” Chen Shisan pushed up his glasses: “Otherwise, let’s find a substitute.”
"Let Xuan Xuan do the close-up shots by herself, and let Wu stand in for the fighting moves. This can save some time and speed up the progress."
"It's okay, you can find a stand-in temporarily, and you have to have a suitable body shape... ..."
At this moment, Zhang Yuan, who was just joining in the fun, stretched his head and came between the two of them.
"Director, if you need to find a substitute, our crew has one ready."
"Who?"
"Look over there." Zhang Yuan raised his hand and pointed. The two directors looked in the direction of his finger and saw a bored figure boxing by himself.
Who?
Of course it’s our Tai Chi boy Wu Jing!
“He is a man.” Director Li turned to look at Zhang Yuan.
“It’s not uncommon for men to dress up as women in Wu Tai Xing. And look, are he and Xuan Xuan similar in height and body shape?”
Director Li and Chen Shisan squinted their eyes to watch. They didn't think it was true even if they didn't say it. Zhang Yuan mentioned it like this!
Xuan Xuan has a big frame among women, but Wu Jing is on the contrary. Among men, especially those who practice martial arts, he is a rare small frame.
Compared with his brother Zhao Wenzhuo, who is also a movie star, his body shape can be described as "a little bird clinging to a human".
Furthermore, Xuan Xuan declared to the public that she is 170cm tall.
Wu Jing said that he is 175cm tall.
In fact, both of them were lying, but the direction of the lies was different.
Xuan Xuan is a girl, so she deliberately lowered her bid for fear of not getting the role.
Wu Jing, on the other hand, had his own pride and exaggerated. After all, if a man is over 169, he is 175, and if he is less than 169, he is 170.
In fact, one side of the two of them is taller in daily life. Even if Xuan Xuan wears a pair of thick-soled shoes, she is still an inch taller than Wu Jing.
"However, although he can fight, as a man, if he acts as a substitute for Xuan Xuan, will his movements be too aggressive?" Director Li was still a little worried.
"Director Li, do you know Wu Jing's nickname when he was at Shichahai Martial Arts School?" Zhang Yuan said with a sly smile.
"What?"
"The other team members call him 'little junior sister'."
"Hahaha..."
Two directors Cover your mouth and laugh.
This is not Zhang Yuan's nonsense.
His teacher Wu Bin's evaluation of him at that time was: "Daiyu's body, Nezha's heart."
This man was born with weak muscles and bones, and he always loved to get into trouble.
Teacher Wu Bin did not mean to tease, but in his martial arts teaching career, Wu Jing was almost one of the most talented students in terms of muscles and bones that he had ever seen.
On the contrary, there is another kung fu superstar Zhen Bullet.
This person also went to Shichahai to study, but Wu Bin saw that his foundation was too poor, especially because his muscles and bones were stiff, so he was assigned to the women's team to practice, hoping that he could lay a solid foundation first. But the arrogant Zhen Zhuan believed that he was handsome and popular among the female team members, so he was ostracized by the male team.
From later movies, especially the rival scenes in "Slaying the Wolf", we can see that there is nothing wrong with what Wu Bin said. Wu Jing.
"Okay, okay, go and call him here for me." Li Huizhu was happy for a long time before stopping.
Zhang Yuan suppressed his smile and stepped forward to pat Wu Jing on the shoulder.
"Brother Jing, are you free?"
"What are you doing?"
"I have a good job for you..."
Half an hour later, a woman dressed in red with a hairpin on her head Hua Wu Jing breathed out his nostrils and glared at Zhang Yuan.
“This is what you call a good life!”
"Did you add more money?"
"Yes."
"That's it."
Wu Jing:...
"You Don’t you always want to make more money?”
Wu sighed in surprise. Yes, the three-year agreement with Fan Yimin really hurt him. From then on, he became obsessed with making money.
【Received thanks from Wu Jing, basic martial arts +1, basic Tongbei Quan +1, basic spearmanship +1, basic swordsmanship +1! 】
“I am doing this for your own good.”
“Then why are you laughing?” Wu was surprised to see the evil smile on his face and asked.
"My wife has given birth to a baby." Zhang Yuan replied, covering his face.
"Then why are you laughing?" Wu Jingyou looked at Chen Shisan.
“My wife also gave birth to a baby.”
“You guys have been laughing all the time, never stopped!”
Wu’s veins popped out in shock, and he said in his heart ...
Okay, okay, okay, just wait for me!
After putting on the costume, Li Huizhu took a look and found that it was indeed as Zhang Yuan said. Looking from behind, there was no difference at all. Wu Jing's waist even looked slimmer than Xuan Xuan's.
This is not because Wu Jing is really thinner, but when comparing the shoulder width ratio between men and women, he appears to be thinner.
Not to mention once filming started, the fight scene went smoothly. Wu Jing’s movements were not only on point, but also very beautiful and girly.
But at the same time, another small problem also arose due to changes in personnel.
This scene was originally a duel between Jinguang Sect Master and Hongye.
Because according to the ancestral teachings of Xuanxin Zhengzong, whoever can use the [Xuanxin Mysterious Technique] can command the entire Xuanxin Zhengzong.
Previously, when resolving the crisis in the underworld's quiet spring, Hong Ye showed the [Xuan Xin Secret Secret Technique], allowing Jin Guang's subordinates to accept her orders.
Therefore, the Jinguang Sect Master held a grudge and even smashed the ancestral tablet after returning home... He was really tempered.
But at the same time, the secret book of the [Xuanxin Secret Secret] was also discovered in the tablet!
After training, he came to Hongye for revenge, and the two were about to fight.
This is the background of this plot.
So the protagonists of this fight are Shen Xiaohai and Xuan Xuan.
Shen Xiaohai has done a lot of costumes and has experience in fighting scenes, so Xuan Xuan seemed to be very unqualified against her opponent just now.
But now that Wu Jing is in "disguise", Shen Xiaohai can't keep up.
“Stuck!” Li Huizhu frowned again: “Take a rest first.”
"Xiaohai... why don't you try another trick with Wu Jing?"
Shen Xiaohai gasped hard and shook his head helplessly.
"I don't think Xiao Hai can do it." Chen Shisan rubbed his eyebrows: "He can't keep up with Wu Jing's movement rhythm."
"Yes, Wu Jing has slowed down. , but he still can't keep up."
"How about... we also find a substitute for Xiao Hai?" Chen Shisan suggested.
Wu Jing, who was drinking water at the side, heard this and immediately pricked up his ears.
"Director Li, Director Chen, I have an idea about Xiao Hai's replacement!"
Zhang Yuan was also nearby, seeing Wu Jing's originally resentful face suddenly excited, and His eyes would glance in his direction from time to time, and he suddenly felt that something was not good!
“Oops, I need to pee urgently. I need to go to the toilet...” Just as he was about to find an excuse to leave the set, he felt his shoulders sink!
A small hand put on his shoulder and pressed hard.
"Yuan, I remember you said that you have filmed fighting scenes before, right." Wu Jing bit his back teeth and looked at him with a wicked smile.
"Yes, your performance in the night scene before was very good, and you even bent the props." Director Li suddenly remembered, and then looked at him, looking up and down.
"A little taller than Xiao Hai, but strong enough, and has a good temperament. If I dress up..."
The two directors' eyes lit up.
“Zhang Yuan, it’s time to put more burden on you.”
"No, director, I..."
"Director Li, it's hard work as a martial artist, so you need to pay more."
Before he could make an excuse, Wu Jing hurriedly said.
“Follow the rules.”
“Look, brother, I helped you get more pay.”
Zhang Yuan: ...
Wu Jing, wearing women's clothing, looked provocative: Mr. Sun, I want you to play with me!
Ten minutes later.
Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing, who had changed into the costumes of the Golden Light Sect Master, stood opposite each other.
Wu Jing is dressed as a woman, so it takes more time, so he should hurry up.
"Can we reconcile..." Zhang Yuan suggested.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Wu Jing twisted his arm: "Come on, hurt each other!"
