The next day, early morning.
Zhang Yuan sat in the temporary dressing room rented by the crew, reading the lines and waiting for the arrival of others.
A very big advantage of Hengdian Film and Television Base is that it has complete facilities.
You can find everything you want here, and everything the crew wants.
The accommodation is not as far away from the studio as it was when filming in the snowy mountains of "The Legend of the City". It only took Zhang Yuan 20 minutes to walk from the hotel to the studio.
It's only about six o'clock in the morning now, and you don't have to work that early on weekdays.
Hengdian is more than just the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" crew. When Zhang Yuan walked slowly over, the entire Hengdian was still sleeping.
In January in the south of the Yangtze River, it was less than six o'clock, the sky was still dark, and only a few hair-thin rays of sunlight broke through the darkness, skipping the earth that was about to wake up.
The streets on both sides are quiet and peaceful, with only some breakfast shops showing lights, and the aroma of fried dough sticks comes out from time to time.
It can be seen that other crews did not start work so early.
Then why did Zhang Yuan rush to the crew so early?
He is not a fool. If he wants to show his professional attitude, he has to wait until there are many people, so as not to look like a fool...
Speaking of fools, fools really come. .
I came here with her mother.
Liu Qianqian drooped her head, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed into slits.
There were a few traces of crystal on one corner of his mouth, which seemed to be saliva.
The other side had some white marks on it, as if it was toothpaste that had not been wiped clean.
Liu Xiaoli also picked up a wheelchair from nowhere and pushed the still dozing girl to the set.
Sissi looks like this now, with her head hanging down, drool at the corner of her mouth, and sitting in a wheelchair... Hawking has the same look.
I got up early today just to shoot their scenes.
It's even mainly Liu Qianqian's role.
The content is a classic segment in the game. Li Xiaoyao went to Fairy Island to collect medicine and met Zhao Ling'er who was bathing in the lotus pond.
This content is mostly based on the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
Li Xiaoyao corresponds to the Cowherd, and Zhao Linger corresponds to the Weaver Girl.
There happens to be a lotus pond in Hengdian, which is not large.
But it's winter now, so there are definitely no flowers. It depends on the skill of the prop team.
Another point is that this pool is not located indoors, but in an outdoor public area.
There are many crews during the day, and there are more filming locations, so it is easy to get involved.
What's more, Liu Qianqian is only 16, and she has to shoot a bathing scene where she pretends to be naked but actually doesn't wear much. If she stays until ninety o'clock, there will definitely be people watching.
With those big white arms and legs, coupled with the cute little face, which man wouldn’t want to hug her.
That’s why the crew arranged an early morning scene to finish filming quickly before there were too many people.
"Sissi, wake up."
"Baby, wake up quickly, we are in the dressing room."
Huh...
Response to Liu Xiaoli The only sound was her daughter's steady breathing.
Aunt Liu held her breath and raised her voice.
"Liu Ximiko!"
"Ah!" Sissi jumped up from the wheelchair.
Zhang Yuan: Medical Miracle!
I am not afraid of the sky or the earth, I am afraid that my mother will call me by my full name...
"It's time to work, be energetic."
After that, Aunt Liu went to buy breakfast for her daughter.
As soon as her mother left, Sissi’s upper and lower eyelids started to fight again, her head kept falling down, and when it hit the bottom, it would suddenly rise up again, just like sitting on a car that kept braking. Motorcycle in general.
Zhang Yuanyan looked like she was taking a nap and resisted the urge to pinch her face.
Yes, at this age, it is the time when you love to sleep. If you reach middle age and old age, you will not be able to sleep so well even if you want to.
Zhang Yuan cleared his throat, pinched his throat and shouted.
"Liu Ximeiko!"
"Mom, I'm not asleep..." Sissi stood up suddenly, turned around and looked around, but her mother was nowhere to be seen, only Zhang Yuan He suppressed laughter until his face was distorted.
“You lied to me, bad guy!” Sissi stepped forward in an extremely irritable manner, banging her cloak with random blows.
Her little attack power couldn't even hurt Zhang Yuan's bloody skin. After beating herself to exhaustion, she sat down angrily and scratched her head angrily.
"Why are you so angry?" Zhang Yuan asked with a smile.
Sissi rolled her eyes at him: "I'm so angry when I get up, that's no good!"
"You're not like this usually?"
"I usually don't sleep until I'm awake. He just got angry."
Zhang Yuan:...
What you said makes sense, and I can't even refute it.
"Okay, how can you work for a while if you look like this?" Zhang Yuan stood up, rubbed his fingers, and walked towards her.
"What are you going to do?" Sissi saw him stretching out his hands towards her, with a look of horror on his face, but there was also a hint of expectation in his heart.
"What are you doing, hey hey..."
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Xiaoli returned to the dressing room carrying two cups of soy milk, five hot mushroom vegetable buns and fresh meat buns.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the conversation between my daughter and Zhang Yuan coming from inside.
“Don’t move.”
“I can’t do it there, it hurts.”
“It hurts. If it doesn’t hurt, it means I didn’t push hard enough.”
Liu Xiaoli:! ! !
The hair all over Aunt Liu's body stood on end, her hair almost took off, and the veins on her head popped out.
How dare you attack Sissi in the dressing room in broad daylight.
He introduced the character to my daughter, and I wanted to thank him. It turned out that his purpose was not pure!
Kicking the door open, Liu Xiaoli rushed into the house and saw Zhang Yuan who was giving Liu Qianqian a head massage.
"Mom, you are back."
Liu Xiaoli retracted her right foot from kicking the door in embarrassment, and looked at the two of them in embarrassment.
"Mom, Zhang Yuan's massage is so comfortable."
"Aunt Liu, would you like to give me a few massages? I have learned massage."
Zhang Yuanxin said I basically only use my hands to press my daughters, and they have to be beautiful women. Liu Xiaoli must be included in the scope.
"No, no need." Aunt Liu put down her breakfast and looked at her daughter with some confusion.
He found that her eyes were clear and her face was rosy. She knew that what Zhang Yuan said was true and that she was not taking advantage of the massage.
"Zhang Yuan, here are meat buns and soy milk. You haven't had breakfast, why don't you have some together."
Liu Xiaoli saw Zhang Yuan present when she sent Qianqian here, so she also gave it to her. He brought something to eat.
It's Zhang Yuan's business to eat or not, and it's her business to buy or not. Aunt Liu still does a good job in some details.
“Thank you, I happen to be hungry.”
In fact, he had eaten it, but good intentions should not be wasted.
But when he was eating the meat buns, Sissi, who was chewing on the vegetable buns, looked at him with resentment, similar to the way the little golden retriever looked at his master when he was chewing on a big bone stick.
When the old emperor talked about eating sheep and scorpions, there was a saying, "If you are anxious to death, you will be greedy to death."
Now the situation is eighty similar.
While putting on makeup, Zhang Yuan sent a message to Cao Jianjun, who had already arrived in Hengdian to open a branch, asking him to prepare some things.
When he was negotiating with Cai Yinong before, he mentioned long-term cooperation with the catering company.
Now that the other party has fulfilled his promise, the meals for the "Sword and Fairy" crew are provided by his people.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. With the support of Sugar Man, the catering company has made a good start in the south and has established a firm foothold.
By the time the two of them finished putting on makeup, the crew members had already made preparations by the pool.
Dozens of fake lotus flowers are either in bud or in bloom.
At Liu Xiaoli's request, the crew also prepared a large number of fences and screens to ensure the privacy of the actors.
A large amount of dry ice was placed beside the pool to create a fairy-like scene.
“Why are there girls’ clothes here?”
In front of the camera, Zhang Yuan lowered his body and sneaked to the pond, and gently picked up a set of folded quilts. Neat top and skirt.
Logically speaking, at this point in the performance, the director should stop and change the camera position to shoot the next angle.
But I don’t know if he got up too early, and the director was a little confused. After Zhang Yuan finished speaking his lines, he waited for a few seconds, but no one said stop.
In fact, this kind of situation is also very common in the film crew, whether it is unintentional or intentional by the director.
The most famous one is undoubtedly the 1967 film "The Graduate" starring Dustin Hoffman.
In the last scene of the film, after the male protagonist drags the female protagonist to escape from marriage, the two sit in the last row of the bus, and the camera focuses on the faces of the two protagonists. As time went by, the smiles of the two gradually disappeared, replaced by confusion and bewilderment.
All movie fans said that this scene of the smile disappearing reflects the helplessness and confusion caused by the hero and heroine gradually calming down after escaping from marriage, and facing the reality after the passion fades.
The words are good and they are right.
Not so when it’s photogenic!
The scene that director Mike Nichols gave to the actors was to laugh in front of the camera after getting in the car.
But after the filming started, the two of them finished laughing and found that no one called out.
With no lines and no idea of what to do next, the actor will of course gradually reveal a confused expression.
The director wants this effect!
This natural confusion creates this classic scene in film and television. This is called fake drama, real drama, fake drama.
Otherwise director Mike could have won the Golden Globe, Emmy, Berlin Golden Bear, Oscar and all other top awards for Best Director.
This guy really knows how to use actors.
Zhang Yuan didn't know if the situation he was facing now was the same as Dustin Hoffman.
But if you stand up, raise your hands and shout.
“I’ve finished my words, why don’t you say stop?”
Amateur!
Of course he can't do this. No matter what the situation is, the action has to continue until the camera stops.
Just like Yin Tianqiu in "The King of Comedy", you have to endure the heat of the moment, this is an actor.
Zhang Yuan was so anxious that he picked up the clothes in his hands and put them in front of him. Then he closed his eyes, raised his nose, and smelled hard.
"Wow, it smells so good."
When he said this, he also made a cynical smile, the natural smile that shows when youth is attracted by hormones.
“Stuck!”
Only then did Wu Jingyuan react and quickly shouted stop.
"Director, it seems that there is no clothes smelling part in the script." The assistant director on the side reminded.
“No?”
Director Wu took the script and checked it carefully.
I found out that the line ended with "Why are there girls' clothes here?"
"Oh, the following actions and lines were all added by him himself..."
"Well done!"
"Li Xiaoyao was cynical in the early days, courting cats and dogs, and seducing girls. The unorthodox image of the threesome, the action he added just fits the character, which is good."
Director Wu turned to the cameraman and said, "Stay this part."
"This. Zhang Yuan plays the role of a prodigal easily, and he even says he has no life!”
Zhang Yuan's face turned green as he was walking towards the director.
What should I do if the director of the production slanders me every day? I am waiting online. It is quite urgent.
"Zhang Yuan, you performed well on the spot." Director Wu praised.
He accepted it with a smile, but Sissi's voice came from behind him.
“Zhang Yuan, smell it.”
As he spoke, he stretched his sleeves in front of his nose.
“What for?”
“Didn’t you say my clothes smell good? I’ll smell them for you.”
Zhang Yuanxin said, I’m not a pervert, how could I Smell the girl's clothes.
Breathe in...
"Does it smell good?"
"Why does it smell like Wahaha?"
While the two were chatting, the director came over and asked Sissi to get ready for the water.
She quickly untied the green military coat, revealing the white short skirt and flesh-colored tube top underneath.
When Zhang Yuan's eyes glanced at her chest, Liu Qianqian puffed up her chest subtly.
"It seems a little older than when he was in "Tian Long Ba Bu"..."
"Sure enough, he is still young and has a chance to grow."
Zhang Yuan seemed to feel a little bit more nourished. A series of happiness.
Seeing that he was thoughtful, Sissi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, but then lowered it instantly.
But the corners of her mouth were suppressed, but Zhang Yuan's could not be suppressed.
"Hahahaha..."
At this time, Zhao Ling'er's shoulders, waist and abdomen were all fair, and her thighs were also so white that it made people dizzy.
But on her feet, she was wearing a pair of fish market black rubber shoes of the same style as Gao Qiqiang's.
Zhang Yuan had the idea of seeing a golden dragon with its head, body and claws, but ended up with a pair of Corgi's butts, which was a huge sense of dissonance.
The director asked her to wear black rubber shoes because there were a lot of dead branches and stones underwater and they were afraid of scratching her feet, and the camera couldn't capture them anyway.
As mentioned before, it is January in the south of the Yangtze River. Although there is no fierce cold wind of tens of degrees below zero in the Northeast, the temperature has also dropped to about zero degrees.
The lotus pond is not a constant-temperature swimming pool. After a night of cold air, it is bitingly cold.
Liu Qianqian tentatively stepped into the pool water, and immediately shivered from the cold, with goosebumps all over her body.
Da da da da da…
Zhang Yuan looked back and forth, this is a costume drama, and there are no machine guns on the set?
After taking a closer look, I realized that it was the squeaking sound made by Sissi's teeth.
"Is Zhao Ling'er ready?"
"Yes, yes, you are ready." Sissi gritted her teeth, and with her stubbornness, she suddenly fell into the water.
Liu Qianqian looks squeamish, but she is actually quite stubborn and saves her face, which is a good thing for filming.
She is really good at it!
The pool was very shallow. If she were standing, the water would only reach below her chest. She had to squat down during filming, with only her shoulders and arms exposed, and her tube top was not allowed to appear on camera.
On this cold day, her daughter squatted in the ice water to film, which made Liu Xiaoli feel distressed...
But parents love their children and have far-reaching plans. Aunt Liu is a well-organized parent. , I endured my heartache and remained silent.
Since you have chosen to be an actor, you can avoid today, but you cannot avoid tomorrow, and you will have to endure hardships.
She practiced dancing by herself and deformed her toes before becoming a first-class dancer, so she understands this very well.
"All departments are in place...ACTION!"
Seeing that Liu Qianqian was already soaking in the water, the director gave the order to officially start filming.
Crash...
A snow-white lotus root arm slowly lifted up from the water, and the water slid off the white and silky skin, causing weak ripples in the calm water.
Zhang Yuan took a closer look.
Sissi has never been the type to be as thin as a skeleton. Although her shoulders and arms are full of the agility and slenderness of a girl, they are also slightly fleshy and will not be as dry as the morbid aesthetics of later generations.
"Stuck!"
"Zhao Ling'er, the bathing movements should be softer and more flexible, you have to treat yourself like a fairy."
"Don't shake your hands, you know?"
Sissi nodded helplessly. She didn’t want to tremble, but she couldn’t help it because of the cold.
"Come again, all departments are preparing...ACTION!"
Crash, the arm emerged from the water again.
When preparing for the scene last night, Liu Xiaoli taught her daughter a set of hand movements.
One of the dances she is best at is the water sleeve dance, which is elegant and agile and is the most suitable.
Cici held on and swayed slowly in the water according to the movements taught by her mother. It was indeed much better than the previous time.
"This time is good..." Director Wu showed a satisfied smile.
But his smile only lasted for less than two seconds. Liu Qianqian, who looked like a hibiscus in the camera, suddenly waved her arms and shouted hoarsely.
“Ah!!!”
With the scream, Sissi’s body suddenly sank, and her head was submerged in the pool.
Zhang Yuan rushed up quickly.
But "Fairy Sword" is not "Liancheng Jue" after all, and Hengdian is not Gongga Snow Mountain.
The crew knew about filming the underwater scene and had already prepared lifeguards.
Less than five seconds after Sissi sank, a strong man jumped into the pool and pulled her to the shore.
Zhang Yuan was relieved after seeing the situation.
But at the same time, a question arose in my mind.
"That's wrong!"
"The water is so shallow, why is she drowning..." (End of Chapter)
