Chapter 56 Simple and efficient

When he arrived at the set again the next day, Zhang Yuan saw Xu Jingjiang putting on makeup and trying on costumes from afar.

Today he will be filming the scene of the Lion King on the Ice and Fire Island.

"You're here." Seeing him arrive, Xu Jingjiang greeted him warmly.

Zhang Yuan responded with equal enthusiasm, then looked at the man's attire.

"If you don't know, you might think they are filming Marvel's Thor..."

After saying hello, he stopped bothering her and went on preparing for his own scenes.

But after a while, he heard the "roar of the lion king" and Xu Jingjiang let out screams.

“I can’t take the photo. I really can’t take the photo.”

"It hurts so much!"

Zhang Yuan went forward following the sound, thinking that the old man was injured.

But when I took a closer look, it turned out that was not the case.

Xu Jingjiang was seen washing his eyes with mineral water continuously, while Lai Shuiqing beside him looked embarrassed.

"Director Lai, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Xu's eyes are uncomfortable."

The character of the Golden Lion King was shot blind by Yin Susu after arriving at the Ice and Fire Island.

In order to portray the state of blindness in the play, several pairs of pure white contact lenses were specially customized for Xu Jingjiang.

But Old Xu happened to be a man with extremely sensitive eyes, and he couldn't be careful at all.

"If invisibility can't be used, then we can only do special effects." Lai Shuiqing patted his bald head.

These days special effects are not only expensive, but the effects are also poor and it is easy to be exposed.

Zhang Yuan came up to Xu Jingjiang and looked down.

After just a while, his eyes turned red and bloodshot, and it was obvious that he couldn't shoot as planned.

"Brother Jingjiang, you must be feeling uncomfortable."

"No, it hurts."

He looked so rough but he was shouting in pain miserably. The contrast was too strong.

Su Youpeng, who played Zhang Cuishan, and Guo Feili, who played Yin Susu, were also anxious because he couldn't start the camera like this.

"Brother Xu, how about you try this?"

After saying that, Zhang Yuan pointed upwards.

"What kind?"

"Just like that, with only the whites of the eyes showing." Zhang Yuan acted as if he was about to die.

Guo Feili, who was standing by, clapped her hands and immediately understood.

"Do you want him to learn Gao Chao's face?"

After saying this, he covered his mouth and laughed out loud in embarrassment.

You Southeast Asian women are so open-minded... Zhang Yuan thought, even though these beauties appear to be very cold and aloof outside, after getting to know the crew, many of them start to speak flirtatious words.

Xu Jingjiang also reacted and immediately rolled his eyes and tried it.

"All white?"

"Bai." Su Youpeng was very surprised.

He thought this matter would be very troublesome and would delay progress, but Zhang Yuan solved it with just one sentence.

"Jingjiang, if nothing works, I'll ask someone to make me an invisible pair made of another material... Hey, you're wearing it again?" Lai Shuiqing ran over and was stunned when he saw him.

"This is the method Zhang Yuan taught me." Xu Jingjiang switched back and forth to show the director like an old child.

"Then... can we shoot?"

"It might work."

Lai Shuiqing looked at Zhang Yuan and blinked, wondering if he was dreaming.

I was busy for a long time and my forehead was sweating, and he came and solved it in less than three minutes?
This is so efficient!

After taking a stroll and brushing up on his attributes, Zhang Yuan returned to his rest area humming a little tune.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yuan had a big scene to shoot.

The content of this episode is that the major sects were imprisoned by Zhao Min, and they lost all their internal strength after taking the Ten Fragrance Softening Powder.

Zhao Min wanted to take this opportunity to learn martial arts from various major sects, so she threatened Zhou Zhiruo and asked Song Qingshu to compete with her men.

"Zhiruo, I will take you out as long as I have a chance!" Zhang Yuan held on to the prison railings tightly until he was forcibly dragged away by the soldiers. His nails left white marks on the prison door.

At this time, Gao Yuanyuan was sitting next to teacher Yan Minqiu, who played the role of Nun Miejue. Her originally pretty face was gray and her lips were painted white. She looked extremely weak, and her beautiful eyebrows were twisted into a reverse eight shape.

"Cut!" This scene is a literary drama, so it is directed by Yang Tao.

"Yuanyuan, Zhou Zhiruo's attitude towards Song Qingshu right now is more like that of an ordinary friend. Although she has high hopes for him, she has more responsibility towards the sect." Gao Yuanyuan nodded embarrassedly. She has had quite a lot of NGs recently.

The literary scenes are slightly better, but the martial arts scenes are even more numerous.

"Yuanyuan, don't bring your personal relationship with Zhang Yuan into the play." Teacher Yan Minqiu advised her, "The characters in and out of the play should be separated."

Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Zhang Yuan, then bit her lip and nodded with difficulty.

Zhang Yuan followed the crew's arrangement and went outside, where three consecutive martial arts scenes followed.

Jia Jingwen, who plays Zhao Min, sits high on the altar, with the two Xuanming Elders and Ku Tou Tuo standing beside her.

Zhang Yuan glanced at Du Yuming, who played Lu Zhangke, and thought it was a pity that he didn't join the crew of "Conquer", as he was born with the face of one of Zhang's four evil men.

"Zhang Yuan, you have a heavy workload today, including three fight scenes. Please hold on." Lai Shuiqing patted him on the shoulder.

Three fight scenes in one afternoon is definitely not easy.

However, Lai Shuiqing has also made preparations for both situations. The shooting time he provided is flexible. If the shooting is delayed, it can continue tomorrow morning.

"The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Scene 48, First Shot, First Time, ACTION!"

"As long as you don't cause trouble for Zhou Zhiruo..." Zhang Yuan lowered his head and frowned, as if he had made a great decision in an instant, and then slowly raised his head: "I am willing to do anything you want me to do."

Alyssa Chia on the stage smiled and blinked, snorted and smiled slightly, then stood up.

"I knew you were interested in Zhou Zhiruo, so using her to threaten you is the most effective way."

He acted really well, and he seemed really devoted... Jia Jingwen thought to herself, "Asan, go ahead!"

At this moment, Zhang Yuan lifted the wooden sword on the ground with his toes, and it flew into the air and fell into his hands accurately.

The actor who played Ah San rushed to the center of the field, and the two men started fighting with each other.

The actor who plays Asan is named Zhang Wanyi. He started learning martial arts in 70 and became a disciple of the former coach of the Qing Dynasty's Imperial Guards. In 76, he ranked third in stick fighting at the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Competition, first in sword fighting in 78, first in boxing in 79, first in pentathlon in 85, and first in sword fighting in 86.

Later, he served as the head coach of the Guangdong Wushu Team and trained six "Wuying-level" athletes.

This person is a true martial arts master!
When rehearsing before filming, Zhang Wanyi and Zhang Yuan practiced their moves. He paused after each move, and after slowly practicing it once, he opened his mouth and asked.

"Do you remember it?"

"I'll remember that." Zhang Yuan smiled and bowed.

In fact, Zhang Wanyi suggested from the beginning that Lai Shuiqing find a professional stunt double to shoot this scene, as he was afraid that ordinary actors would not be able to keep up with his pace.

But Director Lai said that Zhang Yuan had a solid foundation, and it would not be easy for the actor to reveal his true colors if he did it himself, so Zhang didn't say anything more.

After playing it once himself, Zhang Yuan said "I've got it". Old Zhang thought to himself that this young man is really arrogant. It's not my fault if he shows weakness during the filming later.

But now, when the two of them really fought, Zhang Wanyi's expression changed.

"Good seedling!"

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

Most actors, no matter how much they learn and practice, actually they only learn the surface.

But after fighting with Zhang Yuan, Old Zhang realized that this guy's steps and techniques obviously had some meaning!
The steps are steady, the body movements are agile, and the strength in the wrists is clever!
Why do some actors feel sore all over after a fight? Because the action of force is mutual, and many times they hurt themselves due to the wrong way of exerting force.

Stab, pick, turn around, wave your hand and slash...

Zhang Wanyi was surprised to find that the young man was not talking nonsense. Every move he made was steady and without any awkward or blocked moves. He really remembered them all!
Similarly, Zhang Yuan also discovered the other party's differences.

He knew this person was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful!
It looked like the two were fighting fiercely, but he could feel that the other party had obviously slowed down the pace to match him, as if he was strolling in the garden.

At the crucial moment of the fight, the opponent did a somersault, flew into the air, and with a somersault retreated several meters.

This guy doesn’t use wire!
"Cut!" Lai Shuiqing stood up with a smile: "Very good, one pass!"

When the old man saw Zhang Yuan's performance, he felt uneasy.

I have also made a backup plan, but if things go this smoothly, we can finish the shoot today!
In the center of the set, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Wanyi bowed to each other and thanked each other.

"Teacher, you are a real master."

"Boy, you're not bad either."

Zhang Wanyi took the initiative to put his arm around his shoulder and went to the side to rest.

At this moment, Jia Jingwen, who was also taking a break, noticed that her good friend Su Youpeng, who was standing next to her, had a serious expression on his face.

"What happened to you?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Su Youpeng knew Zhang Wanyi's abilities and even asked him for advice on fighting moves.

But seeing Zhang Yuan being so close to his "master of one move", even Zhang Wanyi's eyes were filled with approval.

I have never been treated this way.

"He can get Zhang Wanyi's recognition..."

Su Youpeng made a secret decision.

He had lost to Zhang Yuan in the last fighting scene, and now his desire to win was burning even more.

I thought to myself that I must practice well during this period of time, so that the next time I act together, I must be able to give and take!
