Chapter 289: Continue Dancing

Night, Brother Hua’s room.

"Hi~ah..."

"Ouch, that's it."

"Hoo, hoo, hoo, so comfortable."

"Strength!"

Inside the room, Feng Xiaogang, Li Bingbing, Zhang Li, Rene Liu, Ge You and others sat in a circle.

Brother Hua was lying face down on the bed, and Zhang Yuan was standing beside him, massaging his waist.

Because of a small mistake during filming during the day, this person injured his waist and it hasn't healed yet.

"Just the noise you two are making." Director of Photography Zhang Li crossed his legs and said with a crooked mouth: "This noise is enough to shoot three episodes of porn movies."

Hahaha……

Everyone burst into laughter.

puff……

Li Bingbing tried to hold back his laughter for a few seconds but couldn't hold it back anymore, so he waved his hands and started laughing.

I’m not a lady anyway, so I won’t pretend.

Seeing that he had almost finished pressing, Zhang Yuan stopped and asked Brother Hua to stand up and sit for a while.

He took out a box of Zhongnanhai from his pocket, took out a cigarette, put it under his nose and smelled it, but did not light it.

In fact, everyone in this room is a heavy smoker, including the two actresses Liu Ruoying and Li Bingbing.

In fact, many women in the circle smoke more heavily than men. Typical examples are Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Gongzi.

The four Dan and two Bing are all old addictions.

There is no other way. Social engagements and work pressure are really high and the intensity is also high. If I don’t have something to refresh myself, I really can’t stand staying up late.

But this is Brother Hua's room, and everyone knows that he doesn't smoke, so they went along with his wishes and gave him enough face.

In fact, Liu Dehua also smoked in his early years, and there are scenes of him smoking in many movies and TV series.

But later he found out that his fans were imitating him by smoking because they thought he looked cool, so he quit smoking in order to set an example.

And he is not the kind of person who quits smoking in front of others but smokes heavily behind their backs. He really doesn't smoke anymore.

"Andy, what should we do now?" In the entire crew, only Director Feng called him Andy, while everyone else called him Brother Hua.

"You have important scenes tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Judging from your condition, you probably won't be able to come."

The waist is the core of human strength. If this part is injured, you will definitely not be able to shoot action scenes.

Besides, what he wants to shoot is not an ordinary action scene!

In the final analysis, the protagonists of "A World Without Thieves" are a group of thieves.

Thieves are different from robbers. They are usually not good at and are unwilling to confront others head-on and fight.

Because it is easy to get injured when using hands, and thieves make a living by using their hands, just like surgeons, once a hand is injured, their career will be ruined.

The story logic of the movie is more rigorous than that of the TV series, so when designing the plot, the confrontation between Uncle Li's team and the mandarin duck thief must exist, but it cannot be a fight between gangsters.

Therefore, the team, including martial arts director Jiang Daohai, made special adjustments to the action scenes based on the personal abilities of several protagonists.

According to their design, Xiao Ye, played by Li Bingbing, and Wang Bo, played by Hua Ge, have to fight, but it can't be an ordinary fight.

In order to suit the characters' professions and to make the film look better, they designed this "fight scene" into a "dance-fight scene" similar to a duet.

Because the two warring parties, Li Bingbing and Liu Dehua, are both very good at dancing.

Not to mention Brother Hua, he was still able to jump and dance at concerts when he was in his sixties.

In contrast, those young "singers" who take advantage of fans' money can sit on a chair and sing the whole show with peace of mind.

Mayday knew that they had to use the pendulum to stir up the audience's emotions...even though they didn't sing many lines.

But Li Bingbing is even stronger!
This girl is from Wuchang City... the city that produces rice. Her mother is good at dancing and her father can play the erhu.

Because her younger sister Li Xue was much better than her in academic performance, she was not taken seriously at home.

But she has artistic talent and has learned all the talents of her parents.

This is why Zhang Yuan was able to pull out the erhu attributes from her.

Although it's not very useful, if I ever get down and out and start performing on the streets, maybe it can be useful...

So this person’s dancing is a “childhood skill”.

And this is actually not an easy job.

Like Cheng Hao and Jia Jingwen, she works so hard in the entertainment industry, and the fundamental reason is to treat her family's illness.

She worked as a music teacher for several years. Then, when she was admitted to the Shanghai Theatre Academy through self-study, her mother was diagnosed with cancer and her younger sister was still in school and needed tuition fees.

How to do?
I can only shoulder the burden of the whole family.

In addition to working hard on commercials, when she was in college, she took Ren Quan to go door to door to introduce themselves to the crew.

The ambitions of many people are actually initially forced by life.

The crew had a good idea. Since both of them can dance, they might as well perform a dance, which can be considered as "making the best use of their talents".

But now Brother Hua is injured, so this is a difficult situation.

"How about postponing it for a few days?" Director Feng looked at Liu Dehua and then at Zhang Yuan.

"It won't be healed within half a month, and that's still a conservative estimate." Zhang Yuan spread his hands and replied helplessly.

Uncle Ge looked apologetic and clasped his hands together towards Brother Hua.

After all, this is his responsibility.

"then what should we do?"

"If it doesn't work, find a body double." Zhang Li replied: "Use a body double for the mid-shot, and let Brother Hua do the close-up. Use a borrowed angle to shoot. Be careful during post-production editing, and it shouldn't be a problem."

He is a professional photographer and is most familiar with this set.

"Of course, but where can I find a replacement?"

"Let's find someone who can dance temporarily..." Feng Xiaogang said as he slowly raised his head.

Then, he looked at Zhang Yuan with a grin and bared teeth.

"Director, why are you looking at me?"

"Hey, your eyesight is not good."

"Yuan!" Feng Xiaogang stood up, walked to his side, and put a hand on his shoulder.

"I remember seeing you dancing on the set of Kung Fu."

"Your sister Fan also said that you dance very well!"

Everyone raised their heads and looked at him.

"He can dance?" Brother Hua asked doubtfully.

"Only a little."

"Don't be so modest." Director Feng patted his shoulder vigorously and said, "Why don't we just go out and look for someone else? You can give it a try."

Zhang Yuan thought about it and said, "It's not impossible to give it a try."

"Can I get extra money for this job?"

Hahahaha...Director Feng suddenly burst into laughter.

"Did Master Xing give you a raise when you were on the set of Kung Fu?"

"No."

"Then I am the same as him."

Zhang Yuan: …

Okay, okay, all you big directors are like this, right?

The next day, Zhang Yuan changed into the same clothes as Brother Hua, wore the same "Eight Two Gold" wig, and stood aside waiting for the show.

The "genuine" Liu Dehua is acting opposite Li Bingbing.

In front of the camera, Li Bingbing had dreadlocks and wore a gray jacket that was torn in the middle.

He was wearing a bright red hoodie underneath, which was also torn in the middle.

According to the setting, the character she played, Xiao Ye, had already lost to Wang Bo, and her clothes were torn.

And through the gap between the two torn clothes, you can see Lao Li's white and tender belly and bright red underwear!
As for what's wrapped in this underwear...it's quite white, but not big.

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and made a rough estimate.

I recalled the pink and green "limited edition" signed underwear in the drawer of my closet.

"It seems that Fan Ye is bigger."

"Double Ice Battle, Fan Bingbing +1 point."

"The money is yours, but I'll steal you." Old Li and Brother Hua looked at each other and finished their lines with charming eyes. "Cut!"

"Okay, Brother Hua, take a rest first."

"Zhang Yuan, rehearse your movements with Bingbing."

Zhang Yuan made an OK gesture with his fingers.

"How many years have you practiced dancing?" Li Bingbing asked while drinking water.

She didn't change her clothes or cover herself with a blanket. She just kept her underwear exposed. She didn't care at all. There were film crews around anyway, and no extras or strangers.

Women who can make it in the entertainment industry are generally very "generous".

"I haven't practiced professionally, I just dance for fun."

He couldn't tell.

“Oh…” Li Bingbing lowered his head hesitantly.

If it were someone else, she would definitely communicate directly with the director and ask for a replacement.

You can't delay my filming!

But Zhang Yuan...

First of all, she can't let go of her opponent, the person that Fan Bingbing wants to win over.

Secondly, when she said the wrong lines a few days ago, it was he who helped her out. With this favor in mind, she couldn't lose face for Zhang Yuan.

"Then you practice with me for a while, and I will lead you when the actual shooting starts." Li Bingbing thought for a moment and then said.

What kind of dance is in this scene?
It is similar to Latin dance and also like sand dance, which is cheek-to-cheek dance.

Anyway, the man and woman were very close to each other, twisting their bodies at close range, full of passion and quite wild.

How turbulent is it exactly?

Anyway, if we had done this during the crackdown 20 years ago, we could have danced in the morning and eaten peanuts in the afternoon.

Zhang Yuan thought that Lao Li was quite nice, otherwise how could she become such a big star in the circle.

I led him in dancing for about half an hour.

It's enough to just imitate when practicing, there's no need to get really close, and he didn't use his full strength, he just showed his intention.

"Well, it looks like he has some skills."

Just by practicing these two moves, Li Bingbing took a look and thought that he danced well.

"It's weird though."

"How come his dancing skills seem to have both Western and Eastern techniques?"

"What on earth did he learn?"

Liu Xiaoli is a folk dancer and Liu Shishi is a classical ballet major. They both have good temperaments. Normally, whether they are sitting or standing, their backs are straight and not stiff, which can support their body curves.

Many of Liu Xixi's little movements, including shaking her hair and lifting her bangs, are exactly the same as her mother's.

But because she was lazy when she was young, her dancing skills are far inferior to Liu Xiaoli's, and her temperament is not as good as her mother's.

Although both Liu Xiaoli and Liu Shishi have excellent temperament due to their dancing skills, the differences in the foundation of Eastern and Western dance result in different demeanors for them.

Liu Xiaoli has the temperament of a classical imperial concubine, while Liu Shishi has the temperament of a foreign princess.

Plus there are Sun Honglei's Northeastern Disco elements...

Simply put, Zhang Yuan got things mixed up.

And unlike martial arts, although he learns a lot of different things, he will be able to master them through frequent use.

But he seldom dances and rarely practices those skills, so he is not very familiar with them.

"Come on, let's not turn on the camera yet. You guys should try it out in front of the camera and follow the effects of the official shoot."

Director Feng was also nice to him and gave him the opportunity to try and make mistakes.

"Sister Bingbing, am I on top?"

"let's go."

clap clap clap...

The sound of flesh hitting flesh could be heard immediately on the set.

The two men put their arms together and pushed each other back and forth.

Li Bingbing held a double-edged razor with a special shape in his hand.

Zhang Yuan kept dodging the opponent's attacks, slapping them away, pushing the opponent's arms, while also dodging the razor's attack.

Even though we had prepared for the move in advance, it would still be dangerous if we lost our concentration.

call……

After blocking five or six times, Zhang Yuan waved his hand, grabbed the opponent's wrist, and with a pull, he held Lao Li in his arms.

The two of them were one in front and one behind, their bodies pressed tightly together.

Li Bingbing reached back, intending to attack his face with the razor.

Zhang Yuan held her other arm tightly, making her unable to move, and at the same time, he led her to twist her body, with her waist as the core, spinning, jumping, closing her eyes...

"what……"

This spinning motion is the heart of the scene.

After starting this movement, Li Bingbing discovered that Zhang Yuan's body language was obviously much better than when he was practicing just now!
"I clearly said I was leading him."

“Now I feel like he’s leading me!”

In dance and martial arts, waist movements are very important.

An expert in Latin dance can tell whether you are an expert or a layman just by looking at the way you twist your waist, without you even dancing.

With the dual flexibility of martial arts and dance, Zhang Yuan's waist movements are no worse than Li Bingbing's!
This is not the end yet. Let’s skip the part where Brother Hua cuts the other person’s clothes with a knife, revealing his underwear.

We have to continue playing music and dancing.

As Lao Li raised his leg high, Zhang Yuan immediately raised his hand to hold it. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to hold the plump white leg tightly in his hand, and then pushed his whole body forward with force!
The distance between the two people was shortened instantly, and they were facing each other, less than ten centimeters apart.

Now comes the cheek-to-cheek dancing part!

Zhang Yuan lifted the other person's big white legs, twisted them several times, and then "wall-banged" him against the wall of the carriage.

Just like the back-to-back hugging just now, this time the front-to-front hugging also requires the two bodies to be tightly pressed together.

Zhang Yuan took a look at the body positions of the two.

Raise your legs high and do a wall-bang.

Cheng Hao, Shu Chang, Teacher Jia...none of them have studied dance professionally.

Therefore, they cannot do this kind of mid-air splits.

"Junior Sister is a dancer, she should be able to do it."

"Find a chance to try!"

"Well, we'll talk about it later."

"Hey, Zhang Yuan, put my legs down. I'm so tired."

At this time, Comrade Lao Li called softly.

"Oh oh oh..."

He was so absorbed in thinking about the sex position that he lost his focus.

Putting down Li Bingbing's thigh, the other person looked at her with curious eyes.

"You dance pretty well."

"I was jumping around."

“You’re not jumping around randomly!” Li Bingbing shook her head quickly: “Leg techniques, waist techniques, well-trained.”

"I see you came prepared!"

How can you achieve this by just practicing randomly?
Li Bingbing was in a trance.

This has to be at least a semi-professional level, and it has to be a semi-professional level with the guidance of a teacher.

This kid is hiding!
"Tsk, you're still hiding your crotch from me. You treat me as an outsider, right?" Old Li immediately gave him a reproachful look.

That's not my family either.

Zhang Yuan smiled helplessly.

"Okay, not bad." Director Feng shouted at this moment.

"Then come formally."

"Let me see how you perform again." Li Bingbing raised her eyebrows at him, with a teasing look in her eyes.

Then... come on. (End of this chapter)
