1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 196 There is an old saying in China ~
Director Yang and the others were still filming the monkey leading Tang Monk's horse, and they arrived in front of Yingchou Gorge, and then the horse was eaten by a dragon.

Until lunch, then rest. In summer, they also finished their makeup.

In the summer, she tied her hair up, wore a white suit, pointed ancient-style boots, and had a long sword hanging from her waist...

"Ouch!" Li Chengru screamed, his eyes widened exaggeratedly!

When everyone turned around, they saw a handsome swordsman in white clothes leading a white horse coming towards them with the light behind him, as if his whole body was glowing!
His face is as handsome as a jade without any flaw, his sword-like eyebrows are heroic and he is extraordinary and brave!

At this moment, he had a smile on his face and looked very gentle and friendly, making people want to get close to him.

Suddenly he frowned slightly again, and his eyebrows stood up like sharp swords.

The whole person is like a gorgeous sword, shining with cold light, embellished with gems and inscriptions, looking extremely precious, but the tip of the sword is pointing at your throat.

You are worried about whether he will stab you, bah, stab you!
In short, the whole person exudes an indescribable sense of gorgeous threat.

Director Yang stared at Xia Tian, ​​looking pleased: "Stinky boy, you didn't disappoint me..."

"Auntie Yang, how are we going to make do with lunch again?" Xia Tian frowned as he looked at the lunch box.

"Big Li, please bring the fruit over here. If nothing else, just eat some fruit!"

Li Chengru asked two assistants to move things, and said: "But I bought a box of fruit and some tea eggs, which can be regarded as a supplement. This Wuyi Mountain specialty tea~"

When Xia Tian came here, half of his salary had been spent before the filming even started, and the money was all spent on extra meals for the crew.

……

Summer makeup passed with consistent high scores.

A group of people praised Teacher Liu so much that he became depressed.

I don't see you guys praising me! I'm the Monkey King! The Monkey King!
Teacher Liu: When he comes, I am left with nothing but monkeys~~~
With Xia Tian present, even the White Dragon Horse was exceptionally obedient and sensible, so the filming went smoothly.

Many shots were taken in one go!

And in the afternoon, it's his turn.

This afternoon was his one-man show, during which he filmed various wire-flying shots.

Although it was my first time to use this thing, I had practiced martial arts since I was a child, so I had superb physical fitness and core strength. After getting used to it, I was able to perform various movements smoothly and beautifully.

There are many martial arts athletes who work as actors, but their physical conditions - that is, appearance, height, temperament, and whether they can fight beautifully - become factors that drag their scores down!
What was originally planned to take two or even three days to shoot was completed in just one afternoon in summer.

Wang Chongqiu even shot a lot more shots, mainly for the sake of appearance, and also to allow Xia Tian to show more of his face during future editing.

On the crew, nothing makes people happier than finishing the filming smoothly and leaving get off work early.

Everyone can eat early and get off work early. Is there anything better than this?
On the contrary, if someone's shooting is not going well, delaying the time and making it impossible for everyone to get off work, then even if they don't say it on the surface, they will curse you in private.

For example, Mr. Liu...

The arrival of summer brought very good effects. The food was better, there was more laughter, and Director Yang was not so angry anymore.

Even everyone’s performance improved and the filming went more smoothly.

Then, Teacher Liu was the only one left, and things didn’t seem to be going well. The director kept calling “cut”, and he felt miserable.
After going back home for dinner in the evening, Xia Tian discussed the post-production special effects of the little white dragon with Director Yang and others.

It mainly shows the original form of the dragon.

Director Yang originally wanted to find a carpenter to carve a movable wooden dragon. How artistic!

But Xia Tian persuaded him: "With the craftsmanship of the folk carving masters, the wooden dragon must be very majestic and realistic, and it must be very good for taking still photos!"

"But the wooden dragon is too heavy. It will be very difficult and stiff when filming the action. It will look fake! Even special effects can't save it."

"I think it would be better to find a paper hanger to make a paper dragon. Then I can add some good paint and it will be very flexible when it moves..."

Director Yang spent about two months making this dragon.

After many attempts and experiments, she decided to use both! One for stills and one for action.

Then use special effects! Let the little white dragon be seen from head to tail, with only a part of it always showing, making it majestic and mysterious!

Use atmosphere to make up for the lack of props and special effects...

The next day, Xia took a day off.

Because according to the shooting plan, he should still be flying on the wire.

Now that the tasks have been completed, no major changes can be made to avoid affecting subsequent plans.

So he took a day off, helped out on the crew, and watched others perform.

On the third day, the highlight came.

Literary drama, plus a fight with Teacher Liu.

Literary drama is nothing to Xia Tian~just easy.

That’s right, the first scene shot was of Little White Dragon being persuaded by Guanyin and turning into a white horse to carry Tang Monk to the West, and then the fighting scenes were filmed.

Leave the difficult ones for later.

Director Yang is smart, and he can naturally see that Teacher Liu is trying to compete with Xia Tian. This fighting scene is not a one-person show. Even if you are good at fighting, if the other party doesn't cooperate, you can't act well.

So Director Yang left more time for the later part.

In the summer, he worshipped Guanyin devoutly, kowtowed to Tang Monk, and turned into a white dragon horse. The drama was over!

"Good!" This time even Director Yang applauded.

Although the TV series does not have such high requirements on the actors' expressions and eyes, Xia Tian still maintains a very high standard of performance.

He even brought out Chi Chongrui, the opponent, and the expressions and movements of the holy monk were so compassionate. He really put his acting into it!

I don't know if Elder Tang's acting as Tang Monk for a few years has had a big impact on me. It certainly won't be as big as those little actors in the Red Mansion.

After all, he is an adult and his values ​​have been established.

I just don’t know if he will be “eaten by the female goblin” this time and become a decoration in the home of a wealthy woman who deals in antique furniture.

……

The literary scenes went very smoothly, only the fighting scenes were left.

In the play, Monkey King naturally uses the golden cudgel, while the Third Prince uses a sword.

In the summer, I started to learn moves from Teacher Liu.

Xia Tian didn’t have any ideas, he just thought about how to play well and in line with his character.

Sun Wukong is certainly not weaker than Xiaobailong, but he fights in a fun and playful way.

And the little white dragon must also be handsome enough, otherwise he would be letting himself down!
However, Teacher Liu was a little dissatisfied with Xia Tian directly taking over the task of "action guidance".

When you are practicing your moves, you often look unconvinced!

"Hey, Comrade Zhang, you seem to be dissatisfied with my action design?" Xia Tian smiled, a very bright smile.

"That's not the case." Teacher Liu held the stick and squinted his eyes. "I just think that fighting like this is a bit fake and too formulaic. It would be better if we could play freely!"

Xia Tian smiled even more brightly, "Sure! We can give it a try. Maybe we can create some sparks."

That is to say, Director Yang is not here because it is still in the preparation stage.

If she were here, she would definitely not allow it.

Because Teacher Liu is nearsighted and doesn't wear contact lenses, he feels uncomfortable.

As a result, during the fight scenes, I beat up a lot of people because I couldn't see clearly.

Bajie and Sha Seng have both been hit by the golden cudgel.

But she was not there, and the others did not understand the inside story. They just watched in wonder.

So, Xia Tian and Teacher Liu started.

Although Mr. Liu did not work hard when he was young, he has a good foundation after all. Moreover, he has been acting as a monkey for more than a year now, so he has acquired a lot of skills.

He is one of those people who has been playing with sticks since he was young. Doesn't he believe that he can't beat Xia Tian?

Teacher Liu: I heard that you learned martial arts since childhood? I also sang opera since childhood. I don’t believe it!

Then the two of them started fighting!
When it comes to comparing a long sword and a stick, the long sword is definitely at a disadvantage. An inch longer is an inch stronger. This is the truth! If the two are of the same level, short weapons simply cannot get close.

But the level was the same then.

Xia Tian released a sea of ​​​​moments, allowing Teacher Liu to grab a few moves and control the rhythm.

Teacher Liu was so happy that a Monkey King-like smile appeared on his face - it has become an occupational disease.

As a result, he wanted to take further advantage and would like to knock Xia Tian down and make him roll on the ground, so as to show off his power.

Xia Tian shook his wrist, and the tip of the sword twisted violently like noodles!
The sword body twists the golden hoop stick, and the wrist lifts it up~
Teacher Liu felt his hands shake violently, and the golden cudgel was pulled away by a huge force without any resistance and flew into the sky!

His hands couldn't stop shaking and they were burning with pain!
Xia Tian was holding the sword with one hand, but Teacher Liu couldn't catch it even with the stick in both hands!

A group of people nearby were watching the fun and they wondered if Xia Tian, ​​who was being suppressed by the golden cudgel and had been on the defensive the whole time, would get hurt.
As a result, the golden cudgel flew out in an instant!

Xia Tian pointed his sword, and the tip of the sword was in front of Teacher Liu's throat.

Teacher Liu tried his best to lower his chin, fearing that it would hit him. The tip of the sword was still a few centimeters away, but a chill made his neck stiff, as if the sword had already penetrated...

Teacher Liu, you are somewhat overestimating your own abilities!

Xia Tian performed a sword dance and sheathed the sword with a clang.

"I think we should just follow my routine! What do you think, Comrade Zhang?"

"Yes, yes! Yours is the best..." Teacher Liu nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of obedience, truly a handsome man.

Xia Tian: That’s right. I’ll design a stick-standing move for you. I guarantee that people will still remember it in forty years!
I didn’t code again today, so I spent the whole afternoon working on another inspirational talent system…

I suddenly realized that the new book has more than 500,000 words, but the plot is not progressing as planned!
This is my problem. My saved drafts are about to run out. I will try to speed up!
