Chapter 154 Two Newcomers
On the flight back to Dali.
"Zhang Yuan, we bought the economy class, right..." Li Huizhu looked at her business class seat and the free red wine handed to her by the stewardess.
“Director Li, I met a friend at the airline.” Zhang Yuan picked up the wine glass, clinked it with her, and then turned to look at Chen Xiaodong next door: “Celebrate your successful return to the set.”< br>
Li Huizhu and Chen Xiaodong raised their glasses awkwardly.
Why do I feel like he knows people everywhere... Li Huizhu said in her heart.
From a big gangster in the imperial capital to a horse farm in Yunnan, it seems that he can eat well wherever he goes.
How else would Zhang Yuan get along with Brother Qian?
They actually have a lot in common.
Brother Qian is delicious and fun. He has friends from the cross talk circle, entertainment circle, antique circle, pet circle, rock circle, all circles are friends.
In this regard, Guo Degang is far inferior. He is just the opposite. He has enemies everywhere.
As the saying goes, if a husband does not fight, the world cannot fight with him. In many cases, enemies are created by ourselves.
"Zhang Yuan, what happened this time..." Chen Xiaodong looked ashamed.
"Brother Dong, we are all in the same crew, don't say this." Zhang Yuan waved his hand, not caring.
"Do you have a background in Imperial City?" Chen Xiaodong asked cautiously: "After the fat man heard your name, his attitude immediately changed."
"I don't have any background. I just acted."
It doesn't look like an act to me. I almost want to call the police... Chen Xiaodong recalled the scene just now and thought to himself, which good person can be brothers with a local snake.
"I'm a little tired, let's take a nap first." Zhang Yuan simply kept silent.
He knew that Chen Xiaodong felt guilty now.
The less he mentioned rescuing people at the moment, the more the other party thought about it.
The more I think about it, the more guilty I feel.
The more guilty he feels, the more things he will get in the future.
As he expected, Chen Xiaodong pondered all the way, and increasingly felt that Zhang Yuan's background was unfathomable and mysterious.
"I objected to modifying the script before, but in the end I had to rely on others to get me..."
After getting off the plane, they went straight to the set. The three of them returned to the hotel room in the early morning after a long journey. Fall down and go to sleep.
Early the next morning, under the surprised eyes of Wu Jing and others, Zhang Yuan and Chen Xiaodong appeared in front of everyone.
"I think he can do it." Zhu Yan smiled and patted Wu Jing and Shen Xiaohai on the shoulders, raised her hand and waved to him.
"Hehehehe, Brother Jing..." Zhang Yuan rubbed his hands and came to Wu Jing: "Don't forget our bet, the through-arm fist and the spear."
"I can Do you regret it?" Wu Jing replied reluctantly.
“Yes, but you have to pay with your body.” Zhang Yuan joked.
"Get lost!"
Zhu Yan on the side glanced at Wu Jing and said to herself that I would like to pay for it physically, but they are not interested in me yet.
Same as two days ago, before the crew started filming, Li Huizhu and Chen Shisan held a script discussion meeting.
"Still the topic from last time, how are you thinking about the new script?" Chen Shisan took the lead in speaking.
Wu Jing, Zhu Yan, Yuan Hua and Tian Niu, who had already expressed their agreement, were the same as last time.
When the shrewd Xuan Xuan saw this, she also expressed her agreement, which was different from the ambiguity last time.
These girls know how to take sides, she will help whoever wins.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Shen Xiaohai followed suit.
Then everyone looked at Chen Xiaodong who looked haggard.
Brother Dong looked around, then bit his chapped lips and said.
"I have been feeling unwell due to altitude sickness since I came to the crew."
"And now my leg is also injured, so I just need to rest."
"My role in this script is relatively relaxed. I think it’s very appropriate.” After saying that, he also raised his hand.
What he said was basically the same as what Chen Shisan persuaded him that day, but it came from different people and produced different effects.
Yuan Hua and Tian Niu looked at each other. Even though they were from the old world, they both felt that Zhang Yuan was superb.
It only took a day or two for things to completely turn on his side.
The key point is that it is not like Hong Kong back then, where everything relied on pointing guns at people and violently suppressing them.
Chen Xiaodong voluntarily cut off the scenes and gave them to the other party.
Being willing is much better than being helpless.
“This guy is a talent.” Yuan Hua smiled and nodded, then looked at Wu Jing.
"You know why you were fooled so miserably by him before."
Wu was very surprised and said unconvinced: "Xiaodong agreed, but our biggest relationship owner on the crew may not agree."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Xiyuan, who had his arms folded and his mouth pursed.
Sure enough, Xu Xiyuan raised his hand: "I disagree."
The reason is still the same.
Not only did Zhang Yuan not fall in love with her, he was also with someone else.
Women are very cautious.
Wu Jing raised his chin towards Zhang Yuan and signaled, "What should I do?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly, came to Xu Xiyuan's side, bent down and listened.
In just a few seconds, Xiaoqian, who had originally looked cold, smiled broadly.
"Really."
"You told me earlier."
Then, the person raised his hand again with high spirits: "I agree, this new script is better."< br>
Wu Jing:? ? ?
Yuan Hua pushed his shoulder with her elbow: "You are the only one who can't handle women."
It hurts my heart!
Yuan Hua’s words are heartbreaking!
It pierced Wu Jing’s little heart.
Since the unanimous vote was passed, after the meeting, the two directors immediately began to modify the crew's shooting plan.
When everyone dispersed, Wu Jing pulled Zhang Yuan over.
"What did you say that made the woman agree in a blink of an eye?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and raised his eyebrows: "I said that the director and I discussed changing the script, actually to increase the number of scenes with her. Especially emotional scenes."
Wu Jing:...
He turned to look at Xiaoqian's leaving back and gritted his teeth.
“Are you cheap?”
……
Night.
The crew has started filming according to the new script, and Zhang Yuan will have a scene tonight.
And it’s a big show!
In front of a scenic city gate, a group of actors were lined up, separated on the left and right.
The "former" protagonist Ning Caichen stands among the crowd.
Qiye, played by the "present" protagonist Zhang Yuan, is alone, standing upright in front of everyone like a leading brother.
Chen Xiaodong glanced at Zhang Yuan's back and felt a surge of sadness.
"Obviously I am the male lead..." "No wonder the movie is called "A Chinese Ghost Story". Xu Xiyuan is a Chinese ghost story, and the seven nights after becoming a demon are considered ghosts. It's so far north that I don't exist at all!"
< br>
And this scene happens to be the scene where Qiye becomes possessed.
The background of the story is that the leader of the Jinguang Sect held a bloody wedding and massacred the people of the demon sect who came to congratulate him.
Not only did he brutally kill the biological mother of the twin brothers Qiye and Ning Caichen, he also dropped her on the city gate and placed the "Soul Scattering Talisman" on the body, intending to collect the body. Qiye and his mother's body were blown up into ashes.
What is beauty, strength and misery?
The Seven Nights Demon Lord is an early representative figure of beauty, strength and misery.
What I want to shoot today is that he was deceived and decided to become a demon to avenge his bloodshed.
Pan Jie, who plays the mother of the two brothers, is from Guangfu and is quite young now.
The city wall is more than ten meters high, and the mother's "corpse" is hung on the top of the city gate to float in the wind.
It would be a bit overwhelming to let Teacher Pan Jie, a middle-aged woman, go into battle in person.
So who should I call?
Ten minutes later, Wu Jing, who had once again put on women's clothing, was hung up in the air with a look of helplessness.
There is a fiber safety rope behind him, and a thick hemp rope tied in front of him. After a while, Zhang Yuan will pull the hemp rope and slowly lower the "corpse".
“ACTION!”
Zhang Yuan, wearing a bright white boy’s shirt, quickly ran to the wooden stake tied with a rope.
The reason why he was completely different from the pure black dress in the past at this time was because the director deliberately did it, using pure white color to symbolize his inner nobility.
At the same time, it is also to contrast with the blackened shape.
He untied the rope buckle with force, grabbed the hemp rope, and slowly lowered the "mother's" body.
"Stuck!" Director Li shouted: "Wu Jing showed his face and betrayed the gang, try again."
The night wind was erratic, and Wu Jing had difficulty adjusting his body shape while hanging in the air. If you show your face from the front, it is indeed easy to show off.
This scene had to "depend on the weather", so we shot it quickly when there was no wind.
Unfortunately, the weather did not follow people's wishes, and the night wind blew in several times, causing Wu Jing to float in the air like Sao Qingniang.
"Director, I'm in a panic. Can you come down and rest for a while?" Wu Jing couldn't hold it in any longer. Who could stand hanging in the air for more than an hour?
"Okay...Hey, the wind has stopped, let's do it again quickly!"
Wu Jing:...
"Yeah!"
Zhang Yuan untied the rope buckle with trembling hands and pulled hard into the palm of his hand.
"Stuck! It's very good here. After passing it, put Wu Jing down and take a picture."
"Fuck!" Wu Jing untied the wire and loosened it with force. He relaxed his shoulders and walked towards Zhang Yuan: "It's all your fault."
"It was you who started it, and now all the female stand-ins on the crew have been rounded up by me."
"Look Look, you're strangling me." Wu Jing opened his collar, revealing the back of his neck that was strangled with the wire rope.
"Okay, I'll help you press it later." Zhang Yuan comforted with a smile, and then went to prepare for a scene.
Wu Jing twisted his back and bared his teeth all the way to the rest area.
"Uncle Yuan Hua, help me take a look."
Pop!
“Ouch, why did you hit me?”
Yuan Hua slapped him directly on the back.
“Look at this.” Yuan Hua handed him a piece of prop rope.
Wu Jing held it in his hand, then looked back and forth in the moonlight, and soon discovered the clues.
"This, this is...blood stain?"
Wu Jing raised his head sharply and looked at Zhang Yuan not far away.
Seeing that his palms were dark red and trembling slightly, Wu swallowed in shock.
"His hands were worn out."
"It turns out that the shaking of his hands when he was pulling the rope just now was not from acting. I thought it was his acting skills."
< br>This brand new thick hemp rope has a surface as rough as sandpaper. Wu Jing hung it for more than an hour and Zhang Yuan pulled it for more than an hour, and there was nothing that was not unbreakable.
"You see, you are not the only one who is affected and injured, but others don't take it seriously." Yuan Hua looked in the direction of Zhang Yuan with an appreciative look.
In the era when Yuan Hua debuted, injuries during filming were common, even to the point of being injured every day.
Everyone knows that Jackie Chan is covered in wounds, but none of the Seven Little Fortunes are covered in hidden wounds!
Why are Xiu Ge and Xiu Qing obviously brothers, but their appearance is so different, they look like Wu Da Wu Er?
Genes are one thing, but more importantly, Xiu Ge began to work as a military substitute very early. He was often beaten into shape and half of his face was damaged.
Although the conditions were not as difficult as before, Yuan Hua still saw the tenacity of the older generation of filmmakers in Zhang Yuan, so he admired him quite a lot.
Wu Jing held the rope and then lowered his head.
“No wonder he can play more roles than the protagonist...”
He is often injured during filming, even seriously.
“It turns out that he and I are the same person.” He murmured to himself.
“No, he is better than you.” Yuan Hua interrupted.
"Although you two seem to be in the same league, his acting skills are slightly better than yours, and your kung fu is better than his."
"But don't forget, his debut time is much shorter than yours." !”
After hearing this, Wu Jing immediately collapsed like a frustrated football team.
"Uncle Yuan, please don't hit me." He felt powerless.
Dududu……
A cell phone rang, and Yuan Hua, who originally wanted to say a few more words, picked up the phone and walked aside.
“Hello, senior brother.”
The person who called him was Yuan Bing, who was also a member of the Seven Little Fortunes.
"How are you doing?" When Yuan Hua saw that it was his junior brother calling, he immediately smiled.
Fellowship is stronger than gold.
"I just went back to Xiangjiang to rest."
"I won't go back to Xiangjiang for a while. I happened to be filming." Yuan Hua glanced at Zhang Yuan who was reciting the script nearby, smiled and said: "Yes Yes, I found a very interesting junior in mainland China.”
“He is very good at everything he does, and he is so handsome.”
“What a coincidence, I was also in the previous crew. I found an interesting junior from mainland China, so sharp." Yuan Bing replied immediately.
“Let’s put it this way, there have been a lot of talents emerging in mainland China recently.” Yuan Hua shook his head helplessly: “No wonder the Hong Kong film industry is in decline, and there are no outstanding newcomers.”
"I will have the opportunity to introduce you to the newcomer later."
"Okay, I will also introduce you to the junior I know." After Yuan Bing finished speaking, he started talking about business.
"By the way, senior brother, I'm looking for you. There is a big director, and the big crew is looking for actors to audition. Are you interested?"
"TV series and movies?"
< br>"Of course it's a movie!" Yuan Bing is not on camera and has always been a martial artist, so he introduced his senior brother.
"How big a director are you? Let me hear if it's big enough." Yuan Hua asked with a smile.
Immediately, Yuan Bing spoke two words loudly on the phone.
"Master Xing!"
