Hengdian, film set.

The crew built the Demon Locking Tower, one of the important scenes in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", on an open space outside the film and television city.

Of course, it’s only some of the interior scenes that will be used, and we won’t be building a real tower as grandly as in a movie.

It seems that these days only Director Chen is willing to do this. Director Zhang Yimou and Director Feng are not capable of doing this.

After all, Zhang Yimou and Director Feng both came from lower classes, while Director Chen comes from a famous family. He thinks highly of himself and loves to do big things.

"Hu Ge, did you remember all the moves that Director Chen taught you just now?"

In front of the camera, Hu Ge nodded with difficulty.

"Okay, let's get started."

Previously, in order to accommodate Jiang Xin's schedule, the crew had been filming in two lines. After these days, the two story lines finally merged.

"ACTION!"

At the beginning of the filming, Hu Ge played the Shushan disciple Jiang Ming, with long gray hair and a stern look on his face. He waved the sword in his hand and attacked Zhang Yuan and An Yixuan in front of him.

The TV series made a lot of changes to the game story based on the plot of Demon Tower.

The original well-known characters such as the Prison King were deleted, and even the reason for the collapse of the Chain Demon Tower was changed.

It changed from being caused by cutting off the dragon pillar to being caused by the Moon Worshiper.

This magical modification was later criticized by a large number of game fans and became one of the "black spots" of the TV series.

But everything has its own temporal limitations and cannot be viewed in isolation from the times.

At that time, the fantasy drama was still in its early stages of development, and the TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was originally positioned as a costume idol drama.

If we judge it by the standards of idol dramas, the looks of the main characters can definitely sweep away most of the latercomers.

This was still the era of coal bosses, but there were no ugly sons or ugly daughters in landlords' families, but they insisted on pretending to be beautiful women in front of the camera.

In addition, the plot of Demon Tower has been changed to a love theme that is more in line with the overall story.

The Shushan genius Jiang Ming, played by Hu Ge, is paired with the vixen played by Jiang Xin.

Jiang Ming abandoned his family and career for the sake of his love, and became a demon in the Demon Locking Tower.

This just corresponds to Li Xiaoyao who is willing to do anything for the half-human, half-demon Zhao Linger.

"Ah!" Hu Ge raised his hand and danced with the sword, his movements were a little stiff.

Before this, he had never acted in a costume drama, and had no foundation in fighting scenes.

"what!"

"what!"

"ah!"

The voice arrives before the action.

"Cut!" Director Wu called out, "Did you remember the moves?"

"Director Chen, why don't you teach him again."

The film's martial arts director is Chen Weitao, who, like most martial arts directors, is from Hong Kong.

This person has a great background. He has directed works such as "The Twins", "Young Justice Bao", "Legend of Heaven and Earth", and "Detective Fang Miao"...

It can also be considered as an old martial arts instructor.

This person has one characteristic: he has a bad temper!
He's not a bad person. He's usually very nice. But once he starts working, he's like a powder keg that can explode at any time.

"Hey, boss, I've taught you several times, why are you still doing this?"

"Why are you shouting so loudly? Can you shout out sword energy?"

"Start over again!"

He pulled Hugo aside, talked to him harshly, and taught him again.

But when the filming started again, Hu Ge, who had just been criticized, became even more nervous and did not do as well as the previous time.

"Fuck your mother!" Director Chen pulled him aside and taught him again.

The more nervous people are, the worse they will do. The worse they do, the more nervous they become.

After repeating this several times, not only Hu Ge collapsed, but Director Chen also collapsed.

"Director Wu, he can't do it, let's use a stand-in!" Director Chen said while waving his hands, looking impatient and too lazy to teach anymore.

Hu Ge was slapping his head hard, as if he wanted to bang those martial arts moves into his head.

"As for a stand-in, there is none on the scene. We have to find one," Director Wu said with difficulty.

"How about you just make do with it and teach me again?"

"Damn it..." Director Chen was about to curse when Zhang Yuan, who was acting next to him and had failed countless times, spoke up.

"No, I'll do it."

"you?"

Director Wu looked at him and thought.

As long as the supporting role serves as a stand-in for the protagonist, how can the protagonist serve as a stand-in for the supporting role?

"I've filmed a lot of fighting scenes, and my height and build are not much different from Hu Ge's."

"Put on his clothes for me, and I'll do the action scenes, and he can do the front part."

Director Chen is more professional in the fighting scenes. Director Wu turned around and glanced at Chen Weitao who was drinking tea in a righteous manner.

Dun, Dun... After drinking a lot of hot water, Director Chen wiped his mouth, nodded slightly, and then spoke to Zhang Yuan.

"Of course I can, but I'll have to teach you again, which will take quite a while."

"No need to teach, I already know how to do it."

"What?" Director Chen stared in confusion.

"I've just read it a few times and I've roughly understood it." Zhang Yuan walked up to Hu Ge confidently and patted him on the shoulder.

"Give me the sword."

Hu Ge looked embarrassed and handed over the prop sword reluctantly.

"I was like this when I first started filming action scenes." He comforted her before leaving.

"Has he ever... been like this?" Hu Ge glanced at Zhang Yuan's back, and the depression in his heart seemed to be relieved a little.

Of course, Zhang Yuan was lying. He had never been scolded like this for a fight scene. He just wanted to give Hu Ge a way out.

"Can you really do it?" Director Wu was also confused.

Isn't it a bit too much if you don't even use a combo?

"Okay." He just replied with one word.

An Yixuan, who was acting alongside her, was there the whole time. She changed into Zhao Linger's clothes, and Liu Pinyan, who was going to be a stand-in in the next scene, also came to the set after putting on her makeup.

"Hey, why did he change into Hu Ge's clothes?" Liu Pinyan was very honest and abided by the agreement with Liu Qianqian. He didn't even mention the word Zhang Yuan.

"Being a substitute for this sports idiot." An Yixuan smiled and looked at Hu Ge with disdain.

The latter curled his lips, crossed his arms, and looked at Zhang Yuan in front of the camera.

"Come on, all departments, get ready, ACTION!"

Swish!
As soon as the sound of the board fell, Zhang Yuan's eyes changed, and his originally kind eyes suddenly became extremely ferocious.

hiss……

An Yixuan, Liu Pinyan and Hu Ge, who were watching the show on the side, were all shocked by the chilling gaze.

His eyes changed, and so did his figure and demeanor.

He was just standing there, just like before, but because of the subtle adjustments in the position of his arms, legs, waist and back, his whole body was in an "attack mode" ready to go.

The martial arts director Chen Weitao put down his water cup, slowly stood up, and his eyes narrowed into slits.

He realized that Zhang Yuan was not using any acting routines or methods, but rather the powerful moves of martial arts to force himself into the state.

"Breathing, footsteps, wrist strength..." Director Chen looked him up and down carefully.

"He definitely didn't learn this from filming a martial arts scene on the set!"

A martial arts director is just a martial arts director and he may not know real kung fu.

But even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run.

I haven't slept with a goddess, but I have masturbated and seen a goddess.

Having been on the film set for so many years, he must have seen all kinds of people, so how could he not understand?

"This kid has real kung fu!"

Swish!
Just as everyone was surprised, Zhang Yuan swung out with a sword!
Unlike Hugo, he kept his lips tightly shut and made no sound. But the sword in his hand was shaking, cutting through the air and making a hissing sound.

"You rely entirely on your mouth to release sword energy, but others can do it with just a flick of their hands." An Yixuan glanced sideways at Hu Ge and laughed.

Swish, swish, swish...

A series of sword strikes, graceful and elegant.

It flows as fast as a torrent into the sea and falls as softly as leaves in the autumn wind.

Chop, stab, point, poke, collapse, cut, wipe, pierce, pick, lift, twist, sweep...

One move after another is really dazzling and overwhelming.

Liu Pinyan, who had just arrived, had his eyes and mouth shaped into an O.

This was also her first time filming a costume drama, and she had never seen such exciting fighting scenes on set.

Every sword that Zhang Yuan swung seemed to pierce her heart, making her heart beat wildly.

call!
With one final leap, Zhang Yuan thrust out his sword fiercely, then swung it back.

Director Wu was stunned for a second or two before he called for a stop.

"Card!"

He was shocked by the wonderful performance.

"Okay!" He turned around and asked Chen Weitao, "Are the movements correct?"

"Right..." Director Chen said vaguely.

Why is he vague?

Because he knew Hu Ge was not good at fighting scenes, the movements he designed were very simple.

The moves that Zhang Yuan just performed were almost identical to the ones he designed.

but!

The originally dramatic moves became much more powerful and majestic with the help of his martial arts skills, which was better than he had expected.

The action scene he just performed has surpassed his own design!
"These moves are not difficult for him at all. He can learn them after watching them once." Director Chen muttered.

These words happened to be heard by Hu Ge who was standing nearby.

"Oh..." Hu Ge covered his face, feeling uncomfortable all over.

There are moves that I can never learn no matter how hard I try, but others can learn them after just watching them once.

Not only that, but he is even better than his predecessor...

He took out the notebook he had been carrying with him these days, which was filled with the contents he had recorded while observing Zhang Yuan in the corner.

At this time, he threw the notebook to the ground.

"I'm just learning this!"

"Okay, you passed it in one go, great!" Director Wu walked up to Zhang Yuan and patted him on the back. Noticing the sweat on his forehead, he said again.

"Water, towel, bring it."

An Yixuan was clapping his hands in celebration and noticed that Liu Pinyan beside him was also craning his neck to look at Zhang Yuan.

"What are you looking at?"

"Didn't see anything."

The campus goddesses in many students' hearts can be easily seduced by some gangsters.

That is the so-called yellow hair.

Unfortunately, in addition to being good at talking and lying, some crazy and violent behaviors of gangsters also make it easier to attract girls.

In addition to the psychological suspension bridge effect, which is to mistake the heartbeat in danger for the throbbing of love.

There is also the human female instinct to be attracted to stronger, more powerful men.

Men are also attracted to women with curvy figures and beautiful looks.

This is why, even though the Coco Tree live broadcast room is often blocked, people still enjoy it.

As a human being, I like the big-breasted girls and big-breasted men in the Coconut Tree Live Broadcast Room. No way!

At Liu Pinyan's age, she has the mentality of a little girl.

Before she came to the mainland to film, she had come into contact with Ruan Jinri, and was attracted by his bad and ruffian temperament as soon as they met.

In some cases, it is true that women don’t love bad men.

But just now, she saw Zhang Yuan dancing with the sword in a cool and dashing manner with a hint of fierceness and ferocity, and suddenly found that this old man she had known for a while was also very handsome!

Before, I just thought she looked good, but I never took it seriously because I felt she couldn’t compare to my bad brother Jingtian.

But now I see it differently.

The smooth and flowing fighting scenes were so domineering that they made people feel relaxed and happy just by watching them.

"Look at Zhang Yuan?" An Yixuan nudged her with his elbow with a wicked smile.

"No, we are the anti-Zhang Yuan alliance."

"Tsk..." An Yixuan laughed secretly and rubbed her face: "Xixi is not here, why are you protesting?"

"She was just deceiving herself, pretending, but you took her seriously."

"Ah, is that so?" Liu Pinyan's CPU was about to burn out, it was so hard to understand.

The scenes for the Demon Tower have already been done, so of course we have to continue shooting in one go.

The next scene is an important tear-jerking moment in the entire "Legend of Sword and Fairy", both in the TV series and the game, where Yue Ru dies in the Demon Locking Tower.

There has always been debate on the Internet about Lin Yueru's positioning.

Many viewers, especially the "Ling'er Party", believed that Lin Yueru was a mistress and deserved to die.

But in fact, if we define Lin Yueru as a mistress, it would be too narrow and one-sided.

After all, when she met Li Xiaoyao, because of the Forgetfulness Gu, Li Xiaoyao had long forgotten that he and Ling'er had ever been married and had become husband and wife.

The man doesn’t even know he is married, so how can Lin Yueru be said to be interfering in his marriage?

At most, I can be considered a love-struck lady.

It is said that dogs who bootlick Li Xiaoyao will not have a good death. Well, even if it was Lin Yueru, who was Li Xiaoyao's dog, her ending was so miserable.

In the scene, Zhang Yuan, Liu Pinyan, and An Yixuan stood in order, holding each other's hands.

The Demon Locking Tower is about to collapse. According to the Sword Master of Shushan, this trip to the Demon Locking Tower is a dead end, and one of them will definitely die here.

This is God's will and cannot be defied.

At this time, the three of them wanted to face their fate hand in hand, and were willing to die together.

But at this moment, Lin Yueru looked at the two people beside her and softened her heart again.

In front of the camera, Lin Yueru, played by An Yixuan, had a bitter expression on her face, then she secretly made up her mind, swung her arms hard and brought Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger to a safe place, determined to let this dead end happen to her own head to help them both.

The dog licks so much that he even loses his life.

"No!"

Zhang Yuan shouted loudly and reached out to grab Lin Yueru who was not far away.

But the other party only shed two lines of tears and spoke while crying.

"Xiaoyao, goodbye..."

"Cut!" Director Wu called for a stop, and the scene ended there. If it were broadcast, in the next shot, Lin Yueru would be crushed to death by a huge rock.

"That's enough, let's call it a day."

Director Wu saw that the filming requirements had been met and asked everyone to pack up.

"slow!"

But at this moment, a deep male voice interrupted everyone's cheerful pace of getting off work.

"Zhang Yuan...what's the matter?"

"There's something wrong with the scene just now." He said slowly.

The staff nearby all looked as if they had eaten a fly.

They get off work at 5:30, and the boss calls for a meeting at 5:29... This is how they feel at the moment.

"Oh, what's the problem?" Director Wu was also tired after a day and just wanted to take a break.

But Zhang Yuan was the male lead and also an investor, so he had to suppress his temper and asked patiently.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly..." (End of this chapter)
