Chapter 342 Apple Incident
During the filming process, Xu Kun was all focused on acting and did not care about anything else.
But when he took a break at noon, he thought about the morning's shooting, and found that although the crew hired professional instructors to train everyone, they did not arrange any very professional military actions.
It is probably because most of the main actors have not received professional training. If it is too professional training, they may not be able to do it well.
Moreover, the tactics that were too professional failed to highlight the tragedy of the scene - the scene of being ambushed was difficult to shoot.
Therefore, the film crew gave up part of their professionalism for the sake of storytelling and scenes.
Anyway, ordinary people can't see the problem, and military fans are not that big, and they are much more difficult to serve than ordinary people.
However, Xu Kun felt that when he was making a new movie, it would be best to gather people together for training like in "Soldier Assault".
It's not that he's pursuing professionalism, but he wants a more fluid scene, preferably one that makes people look unaware of their seriousness.
The core idea of Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" is to highlight the cruelty of the battlefield and the complexity of human nature. It is based on the cruel reality and strives to be wonderful.
Moreover, the big war scene is actually an auxiliary, and the subsequent plot of Gu Zidi’s constant petitions is the finishing touch.
Xu Kun's tendency is to strive for reality and cruelty to the extent that the scenes are exciting.
As for the complexity of human nature...
Even if it is wrapped in a coat of saving heroes and enhancing national pride, his definition of the new movie is still a popcorn-style movie.
As for the depth of the plot and the exploration of human nature, those are all trivial matters to him - if the movie is not good-looking, everything else will be in vain.
So in terms of business, he is actually more pure and utilitarian than Feng Xiaogang.
After writing down what he thought in a small notebook, Xu Kun picked up his lunch box and was about to eat when suddenly there was a noise not far away. He stood up and looked over, and it turned out that a car had driven into the shooting scene.
Seeing Guo Xiaojun running towards this side quickly, Xu Kun hurriedly asked: "Brother Guo, what's going on?"
"Zhao Benshan was given hundreds of catties of apples as a gift!"
…………
Click, click~
Xu Kun was sitting on the bench, with Wang Baoqiang on the left and Ren Aldehyde on the right. Each held an apple in their hands, chewing and chatting.
The content of the three people's chat had nothing to do with the scenes they were going to shoot in the afternoon. It was mainly about the Golden Eagle Awards and Hundred Flowers Awards in the next two days.
I don’t know if it was discussed in advance, but the two awards were held on the same day. Fortunately, one was held in the morning and the other was held in the evening.
Otherwise, people like Xu Kun who are nominated by both parties would be doomed.
Of course, it was quite troublesome now. He had to rush to Changsha one day in advance, wait until he finished participating in the Golden Eagle Award, and then fly directly to Hangzhou to participate in the Hundred Flowers Award. At least, the Golden Eagle Award was somewhat rewarding, and the Hundred Flowers Award was basically to serve as a foil for others.
"It would be great if these awards could be held at the same venue, and we wouldn't have to work so hard." Ren Zal said sincerely: "I find that being an actor is more troublesome now than before. In reality, I am busy and have to Looking at what’s online…”
Baoqiang nodded silently. Although he didn't have any troubles in this area for the time being, he had also seen everything Xu Kun went through after the explosion.
Having more fans is a good thing, but it also means more trouble.
Not long ago, a female college student jumped off a building. Because there was a poster of Xu Kun hanging above her bed, she was used as an excuse, saying it was a repeat of the Andy Lau incident.
Fortunately, the matter was quickly clarified. The girl committed suicide because she was dumped by her boyfriend. She had nothing to do with Mr. Xu, and the online and offline discussions stopped.
Xu Kun shook his head and said: "If they are really gathered together, more awards will probably appear soon, and we will be even more exhausted by then."
Ren aldehyde thought for a moment and could only nod helplessly. The film and television awards were very regional. No matter whether it was the Beijing or Shanghai circles, they would definitely not be convinced that the other party would dominate the world.
In terms of TV awards, Mango Channel is also a big player that cannot be ignored.
Just as he was talking, the electric horn rang again. Ren aldehyde quickly put the half-eaten apple aside, got up and walked to the shooting site.
Xu Kun and Bao Qiang stood up, gnawed harder, and then threw the core of the apple into the grove on the roadside.
The afternoon shooting was still not going well, I should say it was even worse.
Because the camera switches too quickly and frequently, many times it is necessary to recheck and adjust based on the original picture. In addition, it is a chaotic battle after an ambush, so there are more mistakes.
At the end of the day, none of the leading actors appeared. Xu Kun was better. After eating, he was still able to gather his energy and review today's shooting with Feng Xiaogang and Chen Guofu.
As a result, I was in a temporary large tent, holding a lunch box and pointing at the camera, when suddenly a stage manager rushed in and said in a hurry: "Director Feng, it's bad, someone has been poisoned!"
"What?!"
Feng Xiaogang was taken aback and gestured to ask: "Did you get bitten by something?"
"No, several people were feeling nauseated and dizzy at the same time..."
Hearing this, Guo Xiaojun, who had been somewhat silent, suddenly stood up with a pale face and said: "I, I'm a little uncomfortable too, but I've always been embarrassed..."
Halfway through, he staggered out of the tent.
Feng Xiaogang hurriedly chased him out with everyone, and saw him squatting on the open space outside the door, retching loudly. There were several people with the same symptoms as him, including Ren aldehyde.
"It's an apple, it's an apple!"
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Look, there are undigested apples in the things they spit out!"
When Guo Xiaojun heard this, he also shouted out loud: "There is poison in the apple?!"
Everyone was in an uproar after hearing this. Some people who had no symptoms felt a little nauseous and dizzy, and those with symptoms felt even more uncomfortable.
Feng Xiaogang's face was also frighteningly white, and he muttered: "How could it be possible? Isn't it? This is too..."
He said it was impossible, but looking at him, he obviously believed it.
Xu Kun also thought it was impossible. No matter how arrogant Zhao Benshan was, he couldn't poison the apple just because Feng Xiaogang didn't go to the dock, right?
Even if you want to poison, you have to find a more covert method, right?
After careful observation, he found something in common and said quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, who didn't eat an apple at noon? It's normal to spit it out - look at these poisoned people, have they accidentally inhaled chemical fertilizers?" ?”
After Xu Kun's reminder, everyone suddenly realized that compared to the poison in the apples, the possibility of chemical fertilizer poisoning was obviously higher.
After that, the poisoned person was sent to the hospital, and the test results also confirmed Xu Kun's speculation.
Feng Xiaogang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then scolded Guo Xiaojun bloody in the hospital.
In fact, there is no need for Feng Xiaogang to scold Guo Xiaojun himself. He regrets it very much. If the news about him saying that apples are poisonous reaches Zhao Benshan's ears...
…………
Because the degree of poisoning was not severe, the filming went on normally the next day.
After three consecutive days of hard work, less than a third of the initial chaotic scene was filmed. It can be said that the team has just been getting along well.
As a result, several leading actors had to temporarily take time off to participate in the TV and Film Festival.
This made Feng Xiaogang even more irritable, but he also had to participate in the Hundred Flowers Award, so he couldn't express his anger.
And the day after Xu Kun and others left, Xiao Zhao, who was tired of traveling, also rushed to the filming scene.
"Coming to visit?"
The stage manager who stopped Zhao Liying looked her up and down suspiciously. She felt a little familiar, but she couldn't recognize her, so she shook her head and said: "You really know how to choose a time to attend the Golden Eagle Awards when the director and several leading actors are not here." , Hundred Flowers Award”
"Ah?!"
Xiao Zhao was confused. Why couldn't he send it away?
"What's your name? Whose class do you want to visit?"
The stage manager took out a small notebook and asked: "I'll write it down first, and wait until I get back... Hey, what are you doing?"
"No, I'll come back next time!"
Xiao Zhao, who finally mustered up the courage, ran away.
