Chapter 285 Growth

On the day when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was launched, Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang went to watch it together.

The first scene was an outdoor scene, filmed in the suburbs of the capital. Yu Jiaolong returned to the capital from outside the pass and was kidnapped by the thief Luo Xiaohu on the road.

In the morning, the filming was not started when the two drove to the place. The crew was debugging the machine on the spot and wanted to shoot a wilderness into the desert scenery. The post-production will add several desert footage.

The extras on the side were dressed neatly, some were dressed as sedan chairmen, some were dressed as horse bandits, chatting with each other and waiting for the filming to start.

This is how filming is. Sometimes I wait for a long time, which is a very time-consuming job.

"Brother Lin, Director Feng." The actor who played Luo Xiaohu greeted them.

This person is Xia Yu. Lin Zixuan asked him to come for an audition, but was selected by Zhang Jizhong.

Although Xia Yu has the halo of the Venetian actor, he has only made one movie "Sunny Days" and does not have much performance experience. He just turned 18 this year and is preparing to apply for the Beijing Drama Academy next year.

His advantage is that he is not impetuous, obeys the director's arrangements, is willing to study, and is motivated.

At this time, "Sunny Days" is being screened nationwide, with a box office record. He is already very popular, but he is not arrogant in the crew and requires special treatment, but is very low-key.

This has something to do with your personality.

Originally, this period of time was very important to him. He would take the college entrance examination next year. Even if he could pass the professional course exam in the Drama Academy, he would have to fail the college entrance examination.

But when Lin Zixuan talked about this drama to him, he came over without hesitation.

Xia Yu felt that it was Jiang Wen and Lin Zixuan who recruited him into the crew of "Sunny Days" and won the Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival. Now that Lin Zixuan has found him, he has no reason to refuse.

Moreover, he believed that Lin Zixuan would not fool him. Everyone has been together for so long and has this trust and affection.

Lin Zixuan chose Xu Jinglei and Xia Yu but he didn't think they could grasp the roles like Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu now and interpret the charm of the characters.

After all, they lack performance experience and are still very immature. It would be nice to finish the performance in a proper manner. You can't expect too much.

What he values ​​is the plasticity and growth of the two in the future.

It would be enough for Xia Yu and Xu Jinglei to perform these two roles through learning and training in a few years.

This TV series is just a preview of the movie. Lin Zixuan is building the cast of the movie. He hopes that it is best to use the original cast when making a movie. It will take several years to prepare and polish.

"Xiaoxia, how about it? Director Zhang didn't let you suffer, right?" Lin Zixuan joked.

"It's like playing, there's no problem riding a horse and shooting archery." Xia Yu said confidently.

Xia Yu has been playing skateboarding since he was a child and has strong athletic talent. Under the guidance of the crew, he can quickly adapt to the rhythm of martial arts dramas.

Perhaps because he heard the conversation outside, Xu Jinglei walked out of the shed. The shed was temporarily built for actors to change clothes and make up, and it was a temporary place to rest.

She didn't say much, and she listened quietly while saying hello.

Xia Yu is quite lively and is very interested in playing this thief, but he is a little embarrassed to be with Xu Jinglei.

The two of them will play a pair of lovers who are similar to happy enemies in the play.

Luo Xiaohu kidnapped Yu Jiaolong in the desert and became a good impression of her. He sent her back. After sending her back, he was unwilling to accept it. He ran to the capital and made a big fuss, wanting to grab Yu Jiaolong back.

A rather cliché story.

In "Sunny Days", Ning Jing is four years older than Xia Yu, and Xu Jinglei is still older than him, which makes him a little unrelaxed, but acting is about overcoming his own obstacles and devoted himself to the role.

There was no scene between Director Chen and Yu Feihong today, so the two of them came to the scene.

They mainly look at the performance of other actors, be familiar with the director's working methods, and get to know the crew.

Zhang Jizhong made the arrangements and asked the actors to rehearse and then take the official filming.

Xu Jinglei changed into ancient costume and looked like a lady. With the efforts of the makeup artist, her face showed a wheat color, and she looked healthy.

Yujiaolong comes from the northwest desert, not the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. A little darker will not affect the character's shape.

She sat in the sedan chair, and the sedan chairman lifted the sedan chair and walked towards the camera from a distance. Next to her, she followed the maids and servants and a few horse-riding guards, and a group of more than a dozen people walked in the desert.

At this time, the thief Luo Xiaohu rushed out with his men.

There were three cameras on the scene, one shot the long view and the other shot the close-up view, which was to take pictures of the expression of the jade dragon in the sedan chair.

There is also a TV series that keeps moving with the characters, shooting scenes of fighting between the two sides, and shooting the atmosphere of intense fighting.

After rehearsing twice, Zhang Jizhong was not very satisfied and did not achieve the effect he wanted.

Director Chen, who was standing aside, had no expression on his face. In this drama, Luo Xiaohu's role is not strong, and Yu Jiaolong is the protagonist. He just came to see the actress named Xu Jinglei who came to the crew last.

There are rumors in the crew that Xu Jinglei was stuffed in, and she had neither graduated from school nor acted in a play.

Yu Feihong has been acting since she was a child and has also made American movies and has rich acting experience. Although Xia Yu only made one movie, he won the Best Actor. Both of them have some experience.

If Xu Jinglei's acting skills are really not good, Director Chen will definitely ask for a replacement, otherwise he will not act.

In a TV series, as long as an actor doesn't work together, a drama may be ruined, let alone Xu Jinglei is the protagonist.

If the actors Lin Zixuan had not been chosen by the previous actors that were proved to be suitable candidates in the end, he would have opposed it long ago.

In recent years, there have been many actors who have come out of Lin Zixuan's hands, and they have hardly seen each other. They give everyone the feeling that Lin Zixuan is very accurate in looking at people and is very good at picking actors.

Zhang Jizhong is still busy, and this scene will not be completed for a while.

This is normal. The crew will have a running-in period at the beginning, and the progress will not be fast. It will be fine after the relationship is straightened out.

At noon, Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang left, and Chen Daoming and Yu Feihong were also leaving together.

Everyone found a restaurant to have dinner and chatted casually.

"I plan to make this drama into a series. The next one focuses on the stories of Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian, Li Mubai's master, and Yu Jiaolong's son." Lin Zixuan said, "Strive to shoot a long martial arts drama with more than 100 episodes."

Everyone knows this, and the new story has been serialized in "Legends of Ancient and Modern Times".

It tells the story of Li Mubai exploring the world when he was young and getting to know Yu Xiulian. This series of martial arts novels has gradually been accepted by domestic readers and even had a certain influence in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"After filming the TV series, I'm still going to make a movie." Lin Zixuan continued, "I'm going to shoot a martial arts blockbuster."

This is the first time he told Chen Daoming and Yu Feihong about the plan. Feng Xiaogang has known it a long time ago. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
