Chapter 411: Charming
After reading it, Du Sheng also made some suggestions and made some deletions and revisions.
As a result, the original 44-episode script was ultimately simplified to around 40 episodes.
The pace of the whole drama is more urgent, and there are almost no dragging plots.
Du Sheng also discussed the design of martial arts movements with Cai Jingsheng and Huang Deli.
The use of special effects has been appropriately reduced, and more hard-core fights have been added.
In fact, when it comes to martial arts movements, You Dazhi was also a supporter of hard-core moves.
It’s just that his style became more and more extreme, and his use of special effects was a bit excessive, so Du Sheng had to step in and make fine adjustments.
All these preparations were completed before filming began.
So after filming started, the crew had a clear division of labor, a brisk pace, and the actors all had certain acting skills, so the two teams fit together unexpectedly well.
Du Sheng played Xu Ziling, who had the most scenes, and gave the most outstanding performance. He rotated between the three groups without showing any signs of fatigue.
On the evening of February 2, one week into the filming, the highlight came.
The general idea is that Kanan is in love with Xu Ziling and has expressed her love directly many times, but Xu Ziling only has Shi Feixuan in his heart. Although Kanan is sad, she can do nothing about it.
On this day, the two saints and the demon lady met formally. Because of the ownership of the "Eternal Life Secret", Kankan became jealous and started fighting with her.
"Scene 9, shot 28, line 3, Ation."
Following the order from director Cai Jingsheng, the filming started instantly.
In a quiet mountain forest, the trees are shady and the breeze blows gently, making the leaves rustle.
Fan Bingbing appeared in a gorgeous red dress, bare feet, sparkling black pupils, and long hair, looking as stunning as an elf.
Her beautiful face and eyes were full of charm and cunning, and she stood there gracefully, like a blooming poppy.
Liu Yifei was dressed in white, looking fresh and refined, like a fairy who was not tainted by the worldly affairs. Her pure face under the veil revealed a bit of coldness.
Du Sheng was wearing a blue robe, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was extraordinarily handsome, and his heroic spirit was fully revealed between his brows.
Fan Bingbing stared at Du Sheng who was standing in front of Shi Feixuan and shouted:
"Xu Ziling, today you must choose between me and her!"
She was angry and annoyed:
"I, Xianxian, love you so much. If you dare to betray me, I will make you regret it!"
Liu Yifei snorted and scolded:
"Evil witch, don't talk nonsense. Ziling will never give you the Secret of Immortality!"
Although her face could not be seen clearly due to the white veil, one could hear some dissatisfaction in her tone:
"This kind of peerless magical skill must not fall into the hands of evil, Ziling, don't be deceived by her."
Du Sheng looked helpless and sighed:
"You two, the Secret of Immortality is not with me, so please don't start a war over such a small matter."
Although he didn't like Kankan's devilish style, he still had some feelings for her after spending so much time with her.
"Xu Ziling, get out of my way!"
Fan Bingbing looked at Shi Feixuan behind him and said with disdain:
"Shi Feixuan, why are you pretending to be so noble?
Without me to bring disaster to the common people, how can you still play the role of a saint?"
Liu Yifei held a long sword in her hand, her beautiful eyes filled with anger, and replied:
"You are a member of the Demon Sect, your intentions are not right, and Heaven cannot tolerate you!"
The two men spoke fiercely, neither of them giving in, and their voices echoed in the mountains and forests.
Director Cai Jingsheng stared at the scene in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he was secretly happy:
"The looks and temperaments of these two girls are naturally compatible. It makes sense for Du Sheng to choose them."
Moreover, after filming for the past few days, he found that their acting skills would be greatly improved as long as they acted opposite Du Sheng.
He couldn't figure it out for a moment and could only attribute it to the fact that both parties were familiar with each other's styles and could shoot as they pleased.
Seeing that a fight was about to start, he quickly signaled to the photographer:
"Pay attention to the wire, and focus the lens at close range."
In the filming studio, Fan Bingbing's pretty face turned red with anger. In extreme rage, she waved her sleeves and a surge of internal force came out (special effect), heading straight for Liu Yifei, angrily:
"Stop pretending. Today I will let you know how powerful I am!"
Liu Yifei dodged to the side, and the long sword in her hand was instantly unsheathed. The sword light flashed, and the sword intent was rampant.
The two men fought till it was hard to separate, their moves were fierce, their internal energy was surging, and the leaves around them fell one after another.
Du Sheng doesn't have much of a role here, but he has to show his anxiety, saying:
"Stop hitting me, stop it now!"
I thought you guys were so far away that you couldn’t kill anyone.
However, the two men who were fighting didn't listen at all.
Fan Bingbing suddenly used a special move, and his powerful internal force swept out like a hurricane.
Liu Yifei tried her best to resist, but she didn't expect the powerful aftermath of her internal force to roar towards Du Sheng.
Du Sheng was unable to dodge and after being hit, his body flew backwards violently, spurting out a mouthful of blood and falling to the ground.
Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei exclaimed at the same time:
"Zi Ling!"
Fan Bingbing panicked instantly, feeling extremely regretful:
"How could I be so impulsive that I accidentally hurt Ziling."
Lin Feng, who was watching from the side, officially entered the camera, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Du Sheng up:
"Mr. Ling, how are you? Don't scare me!"
Liu Yifei looked anxious, squatted forward, and said anxiously:
"Quick, give him the medicine!"
Fan Bingbing also wanted to go forward, but seeing that there were a lot of people gathered there, she was filled with annoyance and suppressed her regret. She took one last look at Xu Ziling and left dejectedly.
"Crack!"
Cai Jingsheng shouted with relief and said with a smile:
"Ah Sheng bit the blood bag just in time, and Xixi showed her concern.
Of course, Bingbing's mixed feelings at the end were also very clever, so I passed this one.
Everyone, take a break and move on to the next one—"
Hearing the sound of "click", Du Sheng, who had fallen to the ground with serious injuries, got up and said to Lin Feng:
"Your leather armor is too rough. I almost opened my eyes when you kneeled on me."
Lin Feng has been getting along with everyone these days and has become quite familiar with them. He patted his leather armor and said helplessly:
"I can't help it. We have to shoot the Yanggong Treasure House scene next. It's too troublesome to take it off and put it on again." Liu Yifei couldn't maintain her saintly image. She smiled and took off her veil.
"Cousin, you almost sprayed blood on me just now. That's outrageous."
Having said that, she walked forward and helped Du Sheng up without any disgust, her beautiful eyes lingering on the other's appearance.
I have to say that my cousin's outfit is indeed handsome and stylish, which makes people unable to take their eyes off him.
"Ouch, it hurts so much, why are there so many gravels here!"
On the other side, Fan Bingbing, who had returned barefoot, quickly put on the slippers handed to her by her assistant and spoke with a hint of resentment.
"Haha, Sister Bingbing, just bear with me for a while, you'll have shoes to wear soon."
Liu Yifei was amused by what she saw and said a few words to comfort him.
In the early part of the play, the enchantress, Kanan, always appeared with her feet bare, showing her independence, eccentricity and weirdness.
Du Sheng walked forward with a smile, and seeing her delicate feet with red marks, he reached out and lifted them up to rub them.
Fan Bingbing didn't mind and half leaned on him comfortably.
Everyone at the scene was not surprised by this. They just glanced at Liu Yifei and Fan Bingbing with a hint of gossip and went about their business.
Liu Yifei was also used to it.
When Tang and Yan teased her yesterday, she responded indifferently:
"My cousin is working non-stop and it's very tiring. He should combine work with rest."
This shows that some things can happen subtly.
After the shooting ended that night, the bus sped back to the hotel.
At around nine o'clock, everyone arrived at the hotel.
“I’m so tired.”
As soon as Fan Bingbing got out of the car, he stretched out his body and stumbled and almost fell.
Fortunately, Du Sheng was standing behind her and supported her shoulders in time.
"Ah... I'm so scared. I feel like I'm going to faint from hunger."
Fan Bingbing rubbed his dizzy head.
Director You Dazhi just came over from behind:
"You are malnourished. Eating only a few leaves per meal is unbearable even for herbivores."
"Losing weight, there's nothing I can do..."
Fan Bingbing smiled happily and was in a good mood.
Du Sheng looked at her carefully and thought, why does she want to lose weight when she has such a curvy figure?
"You weigh less than 100 pounds, why are you losing weight?"
Fan Bingbing pointed at her calf and said quietly:
"After practicing martial arts, my calves have grown in size and now weigh 98 kilograms."
"..."
Once these girls become ruthless, they won't even spare themselves.
He was able to go without staple food for a day and still shoot intensively, but he didn't faint on the set, which is quite an accomplishment.
After getting off the bus, everyone took the elevator back to their respective rooms.
Du Sheng's room is No. 321, and Fan Bingbing lives next door at No. 323.
Jia Jingwen originally lived in Room 409, but tonight she took the initiative to ask to move to Room 320, saying that she wanted to be closer to Fan Bingbing.
As to whether this is true or not, no one can tell.
After saying goodbye to several beauties, Du Sheng returned to his room, turned on the heater, and prepared to take a hot bath.
After a busy day and sweating profusely, I can't fall asleep without taking a shower.
I didn't finish my shower until after ten o'clock, and I felt a lot more relaxed.
After changing into clean clothes, Du Sheng sat on the sofa and planned to watch TV.
But at this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door.
When I opened the door, two beautiful ladies were standing there.
Fan Bingbing cast a charming glance at Du Sheng and said:
"No wonder they asked me to come here to relax my muscles and joints. The timing was just right."
"Why? Do you like me to rub you while sweating all over?"
Fan Bingbing chuckled and responded:
"Of course I do."
After she walked in familiarly, she took out her makeup mirror and tidied her hair which was a little messy due to her rushing out. She simply combed it and tied it into a ponytail.
Only Fan Bingbing, who is both beautiful and elegant, dares to be so casual while still retaining her unique charm.
"Does this look good?"
The ponytail of Fan Bingbing highlights her delicate facial features, especially her big watery eyes. She looks charming and pure.
Du Sheng sat down beside her, and took Jia Jingwen, who was placing drinks, on his lap, and said seriously:
“You have an outstanding appearance, but I am not someone who is superficial enough to only look at appearance. I appreciate a woman’s inner beauty.
It’s a pity that you are wearing clothes, Bingbing, so I can’t tell whether you are beautiful inside or not.”
Jia Jingwen, Fan Bingbing "..."
"Ah Sheng, you are so bad~"
Fan Bingbing blushed and spat in embarrassment, her eyes full of charm.
Du Sheng smiled and took the drink handed to him by Jia Jingwen.
Jia Jingwen looked at Fan Bingbing for a few times, and said with a smile on her face:
"There are many angles from which men appreciate ponytails. Asheng, don't you like the side view the best?"
Du Sheng answered meaningfully:
"The side is really good, with support, and the front is also good, when you look down you can see the scenery."
