Chapter 146 Indissoluble Bond [Thanks to 1夜寒凉1, 闲云卜 for the reward! ]
Guo Feili, Yang Mi and others who were sitting on one side did not dare to speak out for fear of attracting criticism.
They all looked at Du Sheng in surprise, shocked and sighing in their hearts.
If they were faced with this kind of question, let alone answering it lightly, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have half the confidence.
Especially the words "it's hard to surpass this version" cannot be said without strong psychological support.
For example, Guo Feili is not confident enough.
After all, Yin Susu is such an outstanding character, and there have been so many classic versions before her, so she couldn't convince herself that she had the confidence to surpass it.
The thought of being held under a magnifying glass by the audience for comparison made me even more nervous.
As for Yang Mi.
As expected, he signed the contract to join the group five days ago.
Became the first signed artist of 'Miracle Studio'.
Although she knew that Du Sheng was talented, as evidenced by his high score in the Beijing Film Academy entrance exam, she was still surprised by his eloquent and confident speech.
Even though she learned experiential acting, no matter how much she psychologically reminded herself, she couldn't remain calm.
But I have to say, this headline is definitely a hot search.
'Can I learn it myself later?
As long as you learn a little bit, you won't have to worry about traffic...'
Even in a corner not far away, a group of young actors looked at Du Sheng who was surrounded by reporters and media with envy on their faces.
"He is worthy of being the fastest rising new star."
"We are about the same age, but others are playing leading roles while I am still playing minor roles."
"Brother Sheng was also a stunt double. If he can grow to this level, so can we!"
"Don't dream. How many people of your age can reach this point?"
"He is more than just a leading actor."
"Actor + investor + action director, do you understand the value of this?"
"No wonder you are so confident! It's true that comparison makes one feel dreadful..."
That night, as expected, the news became a hot topic.
[The new Kung Fu actor does not deny the rumors of having an affair! ]
[The filming of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" started, the scene was star-studded, and many famous and beautiful women from home and abroad gathered! ]
[The top scorer in the acting department of Beijing Film Academy, was it really obtained through backdoor gift giving? ]
[Du Sheng claims that this version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" will be a classic, and even claims that there will be no better version. Who gave him the courage? ]
The news of the start of filming of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber quickly dominated the entertainment headlines of major newspapers, magazines and online portals, sparking a heated discussion.
However, what is surprising is that one of the iron triangle is missing, and Lai Shui-ching is remaking the film again, which should be a big hit with all the Asian beauties in the spotlight.
As a result, Du Sheng stole most of the limelight.
Taking the recently prestigious "Metropolitan Entertainment News" as an example, almost half of the front-page headlines are devoted to introducing Du Sheng.
The report detailed Du Sheng's growth trajectory and performing arts experience.
Including how he stood out in the "Wulin" competition and became the top scorer in the performance department of Beijing Film Academy...
As a result, the discussion became even more heated.
Opinions on Du Sheng's performance as Zhang Wuji are mixed.
Fortunately, he now has quite a few fans, and he has the home advantage on WB, so he can fight hard against those black players who were pessimistic about him.
Amid controversy, the crew of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" started filming in a low-key manner at Feiteng Film and Television City near Huairou.
Filming started soon.
Since it was the first day, the crew deliberately arranged some more relaxing scenes.
The story is basically about the emergence of the Dragon Slaying Sword, and the heroes of the martial arts world fall into the trap set by the imperial court.
Zhang Cuishan, played by Du Sheng, was ordered by Zhang Sanfeng to go down the mountain to take the Dragon Slaying Sword and quell the dispute in the martial arts world.
This scene does not involve complicated fighting and does not require high acting skills.
Today, the actors acting opposite Du Sheng are frequently changing.
Lai Shuiqing's purpose is obviously to make the actors more familiar with each other.
Du Sheng was clear-headed. After a day of filming, he had a preliminary understanding of the actors who had interactions with him in the drama.
After all, each actor has his or her own performance style, and adaptation and integration between them are crucial.
If there is no fit at all, it will easily destroy the overall atmosphere.
In fact, Du Sheng was observing others, and others were also observing him carefully.
Even though they had just read together for the past few days, everyone knew why he stood out and played the role of Zhang Wuji.
But precisely because it is so outstanding and eye-catching, many people envy it and also have a bit of a competitive mentality.
You may even feel a little jealous and wonder if you are really inferior to the other person.
Today's play may seem simple, but it can better test an actor's basic qualities.
Unexpectedly, Du Sheng made them give up with just one play.
Whether it is the delivery of lines or the appeal of character creation, it is all at a crushing level.
Yuan Bin, who was the martial arts director, couldn't help but sigh after watching Du Sheng's performance:
"His acting skills are even better than in the "Tian Long" period. His growth rate is amazing."
Director Lai Shuiqing also nodded in agreement.
The reason why he dared to let Du Sheng play the leading role without an audition, apart from those factors, was that he had watched "Dragon Girl" and "Dragon Goddess".
The performances of those two characters left a deep impression on him.
"Among actors of his generation, his acting skills are undoubtedly among the best."
Lai Shuiqing said:
"But Zhang Wuji is a growing character. I want to see what surprises and breakthroughs he will have next."
It was less than seven o'clock in the morning. After everyone finished putting on their makeup, they got on the bus and headed towards the film and television city.
Today is the third day after the filming started, and there are quite a lot of scenes to shoot during this period.
The following are related to Du Sheng:
1. Yin Susu obtained the Dragon Slaying Sword, and her father held a ceremony at Wangpan Mountain to show off his power by displaying the sword.
2. The Golden Lion King steals the Dragon Slaying Sword, uses the lion's roar to injure everyone's meridians, and forces Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu to board the ship. 3. The ship is destroyed, and the three of them are stranded on the Ice and Fire Island. Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu fall in love with each other.
To sum it up in three words: catch up.
The crew has been divided into three filming groups, ABC, and they are split into three groups today.
Group A, led by Lai Shuiqing and Du Sheng, filmed the scenes involving Zhang Cuishan and his wife.
Du Sheng has the title of action director. When he doesn't have any scenes to shoot, he still has to design martial arts moves and coordination with Won Bin and others.
Yang Tao + Yuan Bin led Group B to film the scene where Emei + Wudang came out to fight for the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Another assistant director + Huang Deli led Group C to shoot the Ruyang Palace and the appearance of some important supporting characters.
The reason for this arrangement was mainly that Lai Shuiqing wanted to finish the filming in the film and television city as soon as possible and then turn the main force to location shooting.
This version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" mostly uses real-life shooting techniques, creating a very realistic visual effect.
This is completely different from TVB's reliance on green screens, which is also the key to success.
Among them, the shocking scene where the six major sects besieged Guangmingding was filmed in Yunmeng Gorge next to the Ming Tombs Reservoir.
At the beginning of the first episode, the spectacular scene of Zhang Cuishan bravely seizing the Dragon Slaying Sword is shot with the camera focused on the vast Hulunbuir grassland.
These are all bought with money.
Otherwise, the budget would not require more than 2 million.
In addition, Du Sheng will be going to Hong Kong later, so he has to finish the scenes related to the role in the three days before and after.
Fortunately, this guy has good acting skills and can lead others into the play, which makes the expected progress much earlier than expected, otherwise Lai Shuiqing would really be worried that he would not be able to keep up with the filming.
When they arrived at Feiteng Film and Television City, members of Group A got off the car one after another, followed by the crew members.
The shooting scene was set up the day before yesterday, so we can start shooting today.
The assistant director of the group said to Du Sheng and Guo Feili:
"You have all read the script, let me explain it in detail."
"This scene is the first time you meet. After Su Su obtains the Dragon Slaying Sword, she is injured and is rescued by Zhang Cuishan, one of the Five Heroes of Wudang.
The scene opens in an abandoned mountain temple. Ah Sheng, you use your internal energy to heal Fei Li, and from then on, you have an indissoluble bond with her..."
A few minutes later, Lai Shuiqing sat behind the monitor and signaled to start filming.
The stagehand ran to the camera with a board and hit the board:
"First scene, first shot, start."
The mountain temple was abandoned, simply furnished and covered in dust.
Du Sheng, dressed in white and dressed as a young ancient knight, was burning firewood with his head down, not daring to look around.
Guo Feili, who was pale and half-leaning on the side, suddenly rolled up her torn clothes, revealing her jade-like arms, and said weakly:
"Do you recognize this hidden weapon?"
Du Sheng looked up when he heard her mention the word "hidden weapon".
I saw three small black steel darts nailed on her left arm. Her skin was as white as snow, but the places where she was hit by the darts were as black as ink.
The tails of the three steel darts were all shaped like plum blossoms. The dart bodies were only an inch and a half long, but they penetrated about an inch deep into the flesh.
Du Sheng was startled, stood up suddenly and said:
"This is the Shaolin Plum Blossom Dart. Why... why is it black?"
Lai Shuiqing, who was sitting behind the monitor, nodded secretly.
As expected of an acting genius, he not only got into the role instantly, but also grasped the gentleman's etiquette of not looking at Zhang Cuishan inappropriately just right, and his surprised emotions and reactions were also very delicate.
Just like the fact that Guo Feili was injured and poisoned was real, what is rare is that there is hidden worry in her words.
The character was immediately established through the performance.
"Yes, it is the Shaolin Plum Blossom Dart, which is highly poisonous."
There were three small darts nailed on her crystal white arms. In the candlelight, Guo Feili looked both gorgeous and mysterious.
Guo Feili sighed and said:
"I have tried my best... and I didn't find the antidote last night. I'm afraid..."
Du Sheng showed good will and said hesitantly:
"Miss Yin, can you trust me?
Although my internal strength is shallow, I can still help the girl to force out the poison."
Guo Feili smiled sweetly, revealing the faint dimples on her cheeks. She seemed to be very happy, but she also said coquettishly:
"Zhang Wuxia, if you don't admit your mistake, I won't need your help!"
Her face was already extremely pale, and now her coquettish and timid expression made her look even more pitiful.
The assistant director who was watching from the side smiled at Lai Shuiqing and said:
"As expected of Director Lai, he is really good at selecting actors. This person directly portrays the temperament of a seductress."
Lai Shuiqing smiled slightly, a little pleased.
On the set, Du Sheng sighed in distress and said:
"Okay, I was wrong before. There is nothing wrong with you killing people."
Yin Susu was overjoyed and smiled sweetly, but her feet softened inadvertently and her body tilted sideways.
Du Sheng hurriedly reached out to help, and half of Yin Susu's body fell into his arms.
With the soft jade in his arms, his body stiffened, his heart was beating fast, and his face felt a little hot.
He was afraid that Yin Susu would notice that he was having wild thoughts, so he glanced at her.
I saw the girl in my arms with flushed cheeks, looking very shy, and I didn't know what she was thinking about.
When their eyes met, ambiguity arose, and they turned their heads away at the same time.
"Crack!"
Lai Shuiqing shouted and laughed:
“Okay, this one’s passed.
Lao Yao, prepare for the next game."
What is an indissoluble bond? This scene before our eyes is just the right description.
