Chapter 18 Siege
The filming of the scene between Su Youpeng and Niu Mengmeng started on the second day, and the speed really slowed down. Su Youpeng's attitude towards this scene was obviously more serious than that of Zhang Weijian.
This is easy to understand. The scenes opposite Bing Xin account for more than half of Yi Tianxing's plot. If Su Youpeng doesn't take it seriously, there will be a huge difference between the remade scenes and the non-reproduced scenes. After the broadcast, it will definitely affect his reputation and reputation.
But how can I put it, Xu Kun watched from a close distance and felt that Niu Mengmeng's acting was more natural, while Su Youpeng always had a sense of deliberate exaggeration, but it seems that Qiong Yao drama actors all acted in a similar way.
I don’t know how Lin Xinru’s version of Bing Xin will be.
As for the rest of the crew...
Li Bingbing and Wang Yan seem to be close friends, but Wang Yan plays a carefree and scheming woman outside the Great Wall who eventually dies in love. This is very different from her original quiet, gentle and non-competitive character.
Therefore, according to his own understanding, Xu Kun assumed that her acting skills were slightly higher.
As for "Ming Daohong" played by Li Xiaolu, because the reshoots are relatively fragmented, Xu Kun can't tell the difference yet, but it is obviously far from the Golden Horse Best Actress he imagined.
Not to mention Zhang Manyu and Gong Li, who are also actresses, are obviously inferior to Zhang Ziyi, who has been in the limelight recently for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Of course, Xu Kun's evaluation is relatively subjective, and TV dramas are incomparable to those on the big screen, so they basically don't have much reference value.
"Where are the dungeon guards? The dungeon guards are ready to enter!"
At this time, the big tin trumpet sounded. Xu Kun hurriedly arranged his costume and walked into the shooting scene holding a prop weapon.
Ten minutes later, he trotted out again and went to change clothes in the tent outside.
Just now, he played the role of a dungeon guard who brought a bowl of water to the imprisoned Bing Xin [Niu Mengmeng], and then she was knocked unconscious by using a drug that evaporates when it comes into contact with water - Bing Xin comes from the Medicine King Valley, and is very fond of Bing Xin. Poison has been well studied, and coincidentally, Niu Mengmeng later started to get involved in this practice in reality.
Most of the roles played by Xu Kun and Bao Qiang were minor roles such as dungeon guards. To be honest, they were far less important than the Japanese Major.
But the advantage is that they have enough experience, and each role is different, so the two of them enjoy it endlessly. Whenever they have free time, they will discuss each other's performance and take stock of their respective shortcomings.
It's a pity that I don't have much free time.
Since we had just arrived on the first day, many people had a hard time traveling and traveling. In addition, we only focused on filming Zhang Weijian's scenes, so we stopped working at 8 o'clock in the evening.
But starting from the second day, the crew stayed up until the second half of the night.
Under such high-intensity pressure, the smell of gunpowder in the crew became even greater.
Even Xu Kun was scolded more times, not to mention other costars and stage managers.
Apart from Niu Mengmeng, the main beneficiary, Wang Yan, who plays Zhao Yu'er, is the only exception. She and Bing Xin didn't have many interactions. The filming was almost finished on the third day, but she took the initiative to stay on the set to help.
In a crew that is filled with conflict with Hong Kong and Mainland China, the gentle, dignified and approachable Qing Gege is like an angel. It is no wonder that Bao Qiang fell in love with her at a glance.
It's a pity that she got married in 1997. Her husband is Wang Zhicai, a real estate developer who is 22 years older. She should be the first actress born in the 1970s to marry into a wealthy family - this is why Hong Kong people look up to her.
Since he didn't have a role of his own for the time being, Xu Kun changed into his costume and went to help the pyrotechnics decorate the explosive points. This job was somewhat dangerous and others would avoid it, but Xu Kun found it quite interesting.
He has been interested in guns and artillery since he was a child. At that time, his second choice after the Young and Dangerous was to join the army as a special forces soldier. Unfortunately, they did not want underage people. When he was old enough, he had already become Brother Yong's Little brother.
The technical work of arranging gunpowder and burying explosive sites was naturally not done by Xu Kun, an amateur. He was mainly responsible for digging pits and marking explosive sites, as well as cleaning up the sand and shredded paper shells left behind after the explosion.
But as soon as Xu Kun used a flat-head screwdriver to dig out seven or eight explosion craters slightly thicker than his thumb along a straight line, he saw the pyrotechnics master walking this way cursing.
Stopping what he was doing, Xu Kun asked indifferently: "Changed it again?"
"Change, we promised to be a ray of sky before, and now we are specifically talking about Half Moon Cut!" The pyrotechnics engineer used to work in the Bayi Factory. He went to Hong Kong Island a few years ago for development, but judging from the accent, he couldn't blend in. Fortunately, in other professions, there are people who dare to make things difficult and exclude them, but in his profession, few dare to provoke them.
When he got closer, he took out his knife and drew a half arc on the ground, covering half of the hole dug by Xu Kun.
Xu Kun clapped his hands and stood up and said: "Then you can do it yourself. I will be making noises under the ring in the next scene, and I need to rehearse some lines of "warring".
The pyrotechnics master said nothing and raised the knife in his hand to show that he understood.
Xu Kun went to the sidelines to wash his hands, and grabbed a bottle of mineral water. He was blowing it to his mouth when he heard Niu Mengmeng's flattering voice coming from the side: "Sister Yan, what are your brothers-in-law usually busy with?"
Xu Kun looked sideways and saw Niu Mengmeng and Wang Yan sitting side by side, bending down to beat his sore calf, while looking up at Wang Yan, his little face full of collagen was full of longing. and curiosity.
Although there is still some baby fat on her face, Niu Mengmeng is the tallest among the female protagonists. At this time, her two long legs poked out from under the skirt, shaking with the beating of her little fists, Someone who is watching directly has his own thoughts.
Wang Yan showed her signature gentle smile, shook her head and said, "Actually, I rarely ask about my husband's affairs."
Niu Mengmeng was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and asked persistently: "Then you always go out together, right? For example, traveling abroad, going out on a yacht and so on - by the way, I heard that rich people like it Do you and your brother-in-law usually play golf?”
When it comes to going out on a yacht, her eyes are full of little stars.
"Cough, cough!"
At this time, a violent coughing sound suddenly came from not far away. Niu Mengmeng frowned and looked at the sound. He saw that the person holding up half a bottle of mineral water and coughing was the famous "Xiaoyao King No. 2" from the crew, and then he He retracted his gaze without any trace and continued to look at Wang Yan expectantly.
Xu Kun coughed several times and finally regained his composure.
Niu Mengmeng's words just now, 'Rich people all like to play golf', reminded him of the famous incident of 'Guan Zhilin went to the doctor late at night', so he choked before he could hold himself back.
Wang Yan didn't think so much at first, but when she saw Xu Kun suddenly choked and coughed, she suddenly thought of Guan Zhilin and Liu Luanxiong's romantic past. Qiu Ye Jingmei's face showed embarrassment, and she quickly denied: "Then It’s something that people in Hong Kong love to play, but we don’t…have ever played together.”
I originally wanted to say that I didn’t play much, but I hesitated midway and changed it to not playing together.
"That's it. I originally wanted to learn from you."
Niu Mengmeng was a little disappointed, but then asked again: "Then what do you usually play?"
"It's nothing special."
Wang Yan couldn't resist her probing questions, so she pointed at the filming scene and said, "It seems that the rehearsal is about to start. Come over quickly, or you won't be scolded by the director again soon."
"oh."
Unable to get an answer, Niu Mengmeng pouted, reluctantly got up and walked into the shooting location.
Among the several female protagonists, Li Bingbing is second to none in terms of fame, and Li Xiaolu has done her best in terms of awards, but the one that Niu Mengmeng envies the most is Qinggege Wang Yan - she has a rich husband, and even though she is not as famous as others, she still plays a supporting role. , and no one in the crew dared to bully him.
It would be great if I could marry into a wealthy family in the future.
But forget about marrying an old man, preferably a second-generation rich man of similar age to herself - if she could encounter such a good opportunity, she would seize it at any cost!
After sending away Niu Mengmeng, Wang Yan sighed helplessly, then got up and went elsewhere.
For some reason, Xu Kun always felt a heavy sense of loneliness when looking at her solitary back. It seemed that the life of this wealthy lady was not as glamorous as it seemed.
