There are no surprises when filming, whether it's a TV series or a movie.
Man’s calculations are better than God’s calculations. This saying is even more prominent on a set with a large number of people and complex on-site conditions.
After all, there are hundreds of people of all kinds, and one word or thought from each person is enough for you.
That’s why Zhang Yuan particularly admired the organizational ability of the revolutionary martyrs. Whether it was the fourth crossing of Chishui River or the Long March, even leaving aside tactics and strategies, it was simply a miracle to dispatch tens of thousands of people without making any mistakes.
Accidents are prone to occur on the set, and fighting scenes are one of the most prone to accidents.
Li Lianjie has suffered many injuries on the set before.
Now that his status is high, in addition to the scenes where his face is shown, he also uses a lot of stand-ins even in fighting scenes.
Not only is he like this, but Fang Shilong is also like this, and everyone admits it.
But there is a group of fans who always put their idols on the fire, unless they never use a substitute.
Zhang Yuan knew that although the film "Huo Yuanjia" was a big investment and the protective measures were in place, Li Lianjie was still injured, and even suffered a serious injury!
That's why he agreed to come back again.
Firstly, he had to give Lao Li some face, and secondly, he was very curious and protected himself like this, how did Lao Li get so unlucky.
"Which singer is going to come to the set to sing for me personally?"
After Zhang Yuan told Lao Li about Jay Chou's little thoughts, the singer said this while wiping his sweat.
“Okay, quite sincere.”
"But I don't guarantee whether it will be used or not." Li Lianjie took the lead in drawing a line, making ugly remarks at the front.
"It's okay, then I'll call that person over."
Zhang Yuan then called Director Jay.
"Hey, I told Brother Jie, come on."
"Okay, we'll be there in a few hours, I'm already at the airport."
Zhang Yuan: ...
Why are you so excited?
Look at his attitude, he will come regardless of whether he is allowed to come, or else he will meet his idol.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet the crew." After that, Li Lianjie pulled him around.
This film will use many foreign actors.
Because in the subsequent ring scene, Huo Yuanjia fights against overseas masters.
These foreign actors are by no means just ordinary people.
The overseas masters in the film, except for the one who played dirty tricks at the end and had a good life, are three white men.
An American strongman weighing more than 200 pounds.
A Spanish fencing champion.
A coach of the Royal Belgian Knights.
Equivalent to Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and Lin Chong...
The three people hired by the crew are all real masters.
The person who plays Hercules eats six meals a day. In addition to the lunches provided by the crew, he also has a separate meal for each meal, just to stay in shape.
Zhang Yuan saw his fist. Most people would be knocked to pieces after one punch.
This thing is more than two meters tall. It is said to weigh more than 200 kilograms, but in fact it is almost 300 kilograms.
He is an Australian professional wrestler.
Li Lianjie told him that this guy would have to put three beds together to sleep in a hotel.
“This foreigner who plays swordsman is very flexible.” Li Lianjie introduced to him: “This guy is the German fencing champion.”
“I used it with him during the audition. Sword fighting, eight swords were broken in one afternoon!”
"The movements are fast and accurate, and the strength is strong."
Phew!
While he was talking, he heard a bleak sharp sound.
The two of them turned around and saw a foreigner with a gentleman's beard holding a long spear and making sharp gestures.
“This is Brando, his ancestor is an old aristocrat with a stupid attitude. His hand skills have been passed down for hundreds of years and he is very superb.”
Lao Li took him around and got to know almost all the masters on the set.
The staff were still mumbling.
“Brother Jie led the kid around in circles. I thought he was going to play an important role.”
“When I asked, it turned out that he was just a guest star.”
“ It’s just that Brother Jie, who is a guest, greets him in person. Isn’t it such a big deal?”
"Who knows, I guess the background is not small."
"From the performance of Brother Jie, I seem to like this kid."
"The younger generation who can make Brother Jie so polite, except This one seems to be the only one who was stuffed into the crew..."
"Hush, stop talking, they are very fierce, if you say the wrong thing, be careful to get slapped."
Zhang Yuan didn't know that the staff were talking about him behind his back, so he just walked and chatted with Brother Jie.
"Ah, you have also gone to the island country to film."
Li Lianjie said in surprise: "It is not easy to go abroad to film at a young age."
"The Xiangjiang crew just It’s just an island country shooting.” Zhang Yuan said modestly: “That’s where I met the singer who was coming soon.”
“It’s not easy, it’s always good to go out and see it. "Li Lianjie has a love-hate relationship with overseas markets.
After all, you can make a lot of money there, but you are always looked down upon.
"By the way, our crew also has an actor from an island country. If you have been to an island country, you may have something in common with him."
With that said, he led Zhang Yuan to a place that looked like a tiger with a tiger head and a big stubble on his face. in front of men from the island country.
This is Shido Nakamura, who plays the role of the kid who poisoned Fearless in the film.
Although this guy looks rough, in fact, he comes from a Kabuki family.
That’s right, it’s a profession where you have to paint yourself white, wear exaggerated clothes, put on exaggerated expressions, and perform the traditional drama of the island country.
Kabuki not only includes charming women using fans, but also men pretending to be samurai or generals.
Just like Peking Opera, there are male dans and female dans. Of course, there will also be male dans and female old students.
In the early days, Xiao Nanniang belonged to...
Anyway, she dressed up just like in the Ukiyo-e works of the island country and performed shows.
Should we say it or not, after all, he comes from an artistic family, and this Nakamura guy is quite dedicated.
I knew I was going to film in China, and even though the character was from Taiwan, I only needed to speak a small amount of Chinese.
And the director said that you can just imitate the voice, there is no need to really learn it that hard.
But this guy not only hired a Chinese teacher in advance to study Chinese in the island country for several weeks, but also watched TV programs every day after coming to China to cultivate his sense of the language.
He was so serious about a few lines, which shows his work attitude.
"Hey, you know a few words in Japanese and he knows a few words in Chinese. You two just communicate more and complement each other." Li Lianjie had a lot of scenes with this guy.
He immediately introduced Zhang Yuan’s strengths.
Zhang Yuan knew that Lao Li was giving him connections and taking good care of him.
On the set, it is the same as in any work unit. You are not afraid that the boss will arrange work for you, but you are afraid that the boss will ignore you and let you sit there.
If they can give you the opportunity to communicate with other employees and take the initiative to introduce them, that means they are very optimistic about you.
After Mr. Nakamura heard that he had been to the island country to film, he was also excited, so he pulled him and started chatting.
Just when the director asked Lao Li to talk about something, he walked away.
More than ten minutes later, when Li Lianjie returned, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
I saw Shido Nakamura squatting on the ground, wiping the corners of his eyes with his hands, sobbing softly.
I was crying like an angry little daughter-in-law.
Just imagine what it looks like when a bearded old man looks like he is Qiqi Lili.
Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, was touching the other person's back and comforting the other person with island dialect mixed with Chinese from time to time.
"Zhang Yuan took advantage of my absence to make Xiaozhi cry?" Lao Li scratched his head and walked over with an inexplicable look on his face.
"You...what did you do to him?" Li Lianjie looked at Zhang Yuan with strange eyes.
Their current state is somewhat like a man comforting a girl after having drunken sex.
"You can't be..."
Zhang Yuan looked at Li Lianjie's strange eyes and thought, "Who do you think I am?"
What did you experience in Xiangjiang and what did you see?
Zhang Yuan stood up with a serious look on his face.
“Brother Jie, it’s like this.”
“I just had an exchange with Mr. Nakamura.”
"He took the initiative to chat with me for a few words using the Chinese he had learned, and then I discovered some problems."
"What problem?" Lao Li looked suspicious.
"Every day after get off work, he goes back to the hotel to watch TV programs to develop his sense of language."
"But what he watches is the TV station in Shanghai."
Old Li glared His eyes widened: "So... all he learned is the dialect of Magic City."
"Not really." Zhang Yuan waved his hand.
“It would be better if it was in the Magic City.”
“He was watching TV series on the Magic City TV station.”
“The TVB TV series broadcast on that channel , and the original sound is not dubbed.”
Li Lianjie:…
Zhang Yuan spread his hands.
A friend from an island country came to China to learn Cantonese through the Magic City Channel. What kind of spirit is this?
So energetic!
Zhang Yuan didn’t know how he could walk through such a tortuous learning route.
Now this person says "people are kind and others can't bully others".
I was still watching "The Great Era", that guy looked like he was imitating Ding Xie.
Zhang Yuanxin said why the stock market had fallen recently.
"Then...is he okay?" Li Lianjie was stunned after hearing this.
"Toyo-san!" Nakamura Shido stood up from the ground, hugged him while crying, and patted his back hard: "Arigado!"
This one He mumbled a lot.
The general meaning is to thank him for reminding him, otherwise he would still be studying blindly.
【Received thanks from Shido Nakamura, Turtle Armor +1! 】
Zhang Yuan:...
He took a look at this guy’s attributes.
“Is he serious about your Kabuki family?”
Li Lianjie was also embarrassed. He was so serious, but he still went astray.
How is this done?
At this time it has to be Zhang Yuan.
Give this guy some comfort. "It's okay. I'll teach you a Chinese sentence. When you know the island country, I'll make sure everyone knows that you have acted in China and learned Chinese."
"Red bean paste (really)?" Nakamura looked at him.
“Come on, follow me.” Zhang Yuan cleared his throat.
"Go 1, 2, 3..."
"There is an old saying in China, a man who knows the current affairs is a hero."
Nakamura followed.
"There is an old saying in Niemen Huaxia, Xixi Wujie Wei Junjie."
"That's right!" Zhang Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "Just go ahead and practice. I guarantee that everyone who listens will know you." I came to China to act."
Li Lianjie on the side covered his face.
This guy leads a TV station that is even more biased than Shanghai TV Station...
After working as a street kid for a day, after dinner in the evening, I received a call from Director Jay.
"I'm here!"
When Zhang Yuan arrived at the gate of the film and television city, this man jumped towards him and rushed towards him.
After the two fist bumped, the man asked anxiously.
"Where is Brother Jie?"
"Take me to see him quickly, I can't wait."
To be honest, he had never been so anxious when Hou Pingpeng, wearing a burgundy lace pajamas with one shoulder strap hanging down and her breasts half exposed, appeared in the bedroom.
This is also an old straight man.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll make a call first." Zhang Yuan also couldn't stand this guy.
Chou is slow to warm up, arrogant and a little shy, but once he gets to know him, he is actually quite lively.
“Okay, okay, I’ll be right over.”
Zhang Yuan put down his cell phone: "Brother Jie happens to be free, let's go to his room."
The two of them walked around and took a car to the hotel where the crew was staying.
In the presidential suite on the top floor, after two people knocked on the door, an assistant opened the door and welcomed them in.
Zhang Yuan glanced as he walked. There were many children's toys scattered in the corridor of the room.
“Oh, Lao Li really values his family and takes his children with him.”
"Huh..." Li Lianjie happened to be sitting on the bed meditating, and the two of them were finishing their meditation.
"Li, Li, Li..." Jay Chou said tremblingly, very excited.
"Brother Jie, this is the singer I'm talking about, Jay Chou."
"Hello Huang Feihong!" Jay Chou held back for a long time before he said this.
Then he took off the guitar from his back: "Can you sign your name for me?"
Lao Li was quite polite. After letting the two of them sit down, he signed the guitar with a wave of his hand.
Zhang Yuan gave a few words of concern, telling Jay Chou not to be nervous and just behave as usual.
Next, he asked his assistant to take out the portable speaker, put in the mixed CD prepared in advance, and started singing.
Zhang Yuan glanced at it and saw that the guitar on his back was purely for signing, not for performing at all.
Soon after, loud and powerful music and singing with a distinct rhythm came from the house.
"In a small town, the years pass by."
"Clear courage..."
"The washed memories."
"I remember you and live with pride ..."
Chou tightened his throat and sang in a very non-standard Peking Opera style.
"Ho ho ho ho, ho ho ho ho!"
Then there was a sudden boost of energy.
Li Lianjie, who was watching his performance, hid behind his back when he saw this, and was still mumbling.
“Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh…”
Damn, what the hell is this young man… singing about?
As soon as the song ended, Zhang Yuan clapped his hands.
Watching the show for free, you don’t even have to grab a ticket, how nice it is.
But Lao Li's expression was completely different, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Zhang Yuan, your friend... is very nice."
"But I don't think you can understand it well, and it's not suitable for our film."
Li Lianjie still took care of his face, so he hugged him and said it.
If it were anyone else, he would simply wave his hand and refuse.
Zhang Yuan looked like this and thought about it for a while.
Also, what era did Lao Li come from?
What he likes must be a concise, clear and powerful song like "Once Upon a Time" theme song "Men Should Be Strong".
It was a collaborative work between Huang Zhan, Dai Lemin and Lin Zixiang.
Huang Zhanke is one of the "Three Masters of Ci", and his lyrics can be said to be works of art.
Dai Lemin is even more awesome. The theme songs of "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Swordsman", "Once Upon a Time" and "Fang Shiyu" are all his works.
Coupled with Lin Zixiang’s upright voice, it can indeed show the vicissitudes and millennia of Chinese martial arts.
But, times have changed.
Zhang Yuangang wanted to persuade and put in a good word for Director Jay.
Because after Jay’s performance he saw Lao Li’s displeased look, his face turned green and he bit his lip.
But at this moment, a gentle female voice came from not far away.
“JET, times have changed.”
I finished saying what Zhang Yuan wanted to say.
"You don't understand what young people like."
Zhang Yuan and Jay Chou both turned their heads and looked at the door of the room.
At this time, Yi Yi wore a woman's short hair and was tall. Although he was not young, he still had a charming figure, leaning against the door frame, folding his hands on his chest, smiling and raising his arms, and greeted the two of them. call.
"Hi, hello."
Then, this person took sexy steps and came to Li Lianjie's side step by step.
This is the former "Miss Asia", known as one of the "Three Treasures of ATV", and the "star" Li Zhi who was once popular when he first arrived.
When Jay Chou was performing just now, this person happened to be returning from shopping with his children and was listening at the door.
Seeing that my husband didn’t like the music, I started to speak.
Zhang Yuan was still puzzled when he saw this person.
“Why did Sister-in-law Li come here with two volleyballs on her chest... Damn it!”
After looking at it for a long time, he finally reacted.
How about this person walking with "three shakes per step".
Zhang Yuan turned around and saw that Jay Chou was also shocked.
The two looked at each other.
I checked the look and found that I had never seen such a big person before.
Among the actresses Zhang Yuan had met on the set, Yang Mi was considered the most outstanding.
Every time I ran or jumped, I swayed back and forth, like two lively white rabbits.
But in fact, to be more serious, he had to meet Qin Hongmian and Ye Erniang in "Dragon Babu".
The two eldest sisters, Peng Dan and Shi Lan, who play these two roles, are both real human weapons.
Especially Peng Dan, who also worked in Hong Kong circles and was famous for his proud figure.
Zhang Yuan doesn't know the measurements of these two ladies.
But he knew that Yang Mi, who already had excellent visual effects, was 36D.
And what about Li Zhi?
This guy was a terrifying 36F in his prime!
Some people may not know that the standard of bust is the difference between upper bust and lower bust.
The numbers are the lower circumference size, and the English letters are the upper circumference size.
The lower circumference is equivalent to the body dimension at the foot of the mountain, and the upper circumference is the dimension at the top of the mountain.
In other words, with the same size at the foot of the mountain, Li Zhi’s peak is two sizes higher than Yang Mi!
You will know how exaggerated this person is and why he is famous.
Now that this person has given birth to a child, her waist is still thicker.
When he was young, this guy had the figure of an island cartoon.
Li Zhi sat on the edge of the bed and put his hand on Lao Li's shoulder.
“You don’t really listen to current pop music, you don’t know.”
“He is so popular that he can’t even buy tickets for his concerts.”
“And he There are many musical works that promote Chinese martial arts, and they are all very good.”
"And your daughter also likes to hear it."
"Really?" After hearing what his wife said, Lao Li began to reconsider.
"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhang Yuan and Zhou Dong nodded in unison.
She is so old, everything she says is right.
We men are so simple.
Zhang Yuan thought that Ji Chunhua had complained that Lao Li abandoned his wife and son and found a big girl.
He also felt that Lao Li was a little unreasonable.
But now the facts are before us.
Who wouldn’t be confused after seeing this!
Both he and Jay Chou had seen it before, and they were both shocked.
"Lao Li is not in good health. Is it because he is too tired from marrying her..." Zhang Yuan began to doubt.
"Okay, let me think about it and ask the director and Master Ba to listen to it together."
"Okay." Li Zhi smiled and patted Lao Li's shoulder gently. He said to them again.
"You are all tired, are you hungry?"
"I just packed some double-skinned milk at a nearby Hong Kong-style tea restaurant. Do you want to eat it?"
Zhang Yuan swallowed.
Do you think I should eat or not? (End of chapter)
