Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 108 You say the words!!
The scene where Li Ningyu was tortured only had one sentence in the script: "Takeda took off Li Ningyu's clothes and humiliated her."

In order to achieve the best sound recording effect for this scene, all staff members, including Li Qiutang, except the actors, took off their shoes in an effort to provide the two actors with the quietest on-site environment.

This scene was very difficult to shoot. It should be said that every actor’s torture scene was very difficult to shoot.

The actors felt uncomfortable, and director Li Qiutang also felt uncomfortable watching them.

"Ah!" Li Bingbing screamed. It was unclear whether she herself collapsed or the character Li Ningyu she played collapsed.

This scream was not in the script, but Li Qiutang thought it was so wonderful that she did not stop it.

The buttons were undone one by one, and Li Ningyu's tears fell one by one. She couldn't speak, and even couldn't resist.

Li Bingbing is not famous for her beauty in the entertainment industry, but she is definitely very good-looking. However, let's be honest, 90% of people don't look good naked.

Li Qiutang didn't know what other people at the scene were thinking. Apart from finishing the scene well and admiring Li Bingbing's professionalism, he had no other thoughts.

"Click!" Li Qiutang called to stop.

Both Li Bingbing and Huang Xiaoming were sweating profusely.

There is only one stylist on the set, who is responsible for the makeup of the two actors.

"Hurry up and wipe your sweat and put on some makeup. The one you just wore didn't work. Let's hurry up and make another one."

Li Bingbing has already wrapped herself in her coat. Li Qiutang said a few nice words to her: "That pound of liquor was not in vain. You are in such good shape." Li Qiutang gave a thumbs up. "I just watched it on the monitor. I have a feeling that this scene will be a success. You will win another Best Actress award."

These words touched Li Bingbing's heart. She is the oldest among the big stars. Before, she was inferior to others in terms of awards, box office and popularity. To survive in this circle, one must always have something to gain. Li Bingbing has paid much attention to awards in the past two years. "The Legend of Mi Yue" won her several prestigious Best Actress awards. She would cry every time she received an award.

Li Qiutang said that she could win the Best Actress award, how could she not be happy.

But the pressure of filming this scene was still very great. Li Bingbing had a hard time smiling as she was still immersed in Li Ningyu's emotions.

Taking into account the mental stress of the two actors, Li Qiutang only filmed until 6 p.m. on the first day and then called it a day to have dinner.

In the following days, Li Qiutang also insisted on shooting for only 8 hours a day to give the actors enough rest.

The scene where Li Ningyu was tortured took a full seven days to shoot.

Li Bingbing drank 7 bottles of liquor in 7 days. When Li Qiutang yelled at him, Li Bingbing felt relieved and sat down on the set, bursting into tears. While crying, he cursed Li Qiutang: "I will never film with you again."

Her younger sister Li Xing came to the crew to accompany her a few days ago. She is now squatting on the ground hugging her sister, smiling and comforting her: "A few days ago you told me that the director is amazing and that you should work with him more in the future."

Li Xing's words made the staff around him laugh. Li Qiutang also came over, handed over a pack of tissues, and interrupted: "You are crying, those who know know that we are filming, and those who don't know will think that I am Chen Shimei and what I have done to you."

"Hahahahaha!"

Li Xing also smiled and helped his sister up: "We can go now."

Li Qiutang waved her hand: "Let's go, it's okay."

The next day, the filming of Gu Xiaomeng's torture scene began, which took 6 days.

After that, it took another 10 days to shoot Wu Zhiguo's torture scene.

After filming three large-scale torture scenes, Li Qiutang was a little stressed. After filming Wu Zhiguo, it was early November. The crew decided to allow the media to visit the set during the filming of the scene where Takeda entertained everyone outdoors. Let some new faces come to the crew to make it more lively.

Li Qiutang was generous for once. Except for the wine, all the other cigarettes, snacks, fruits and food at the banquet were real.

Zhou Xun threatened to bankrupt the crew by eating too much, but Li Qiutang said, "Eat as much as you want. If you can't finish more, I'll pack it up for you."

The crew of "The Sound of Wind" has kept the production highly confidential since its preparations, and even fired a staff member for leaking the interior photos of Qiu Zhuang.

Apart from the opening ceremony in August, the media has not captured any news about the crew. This open visit attracted more than 8 media outlets from across the country, and the reporters were very enthusiastic and eager to know more about the crew of "The Whistleblower".

In order to respond to this media visit, Wang Zhonglei, Huang Jianxin and Chen Guofu all rushed back to the crew from other places.

"I listened to the actors' feedback," Wang Zhonglei told the media, "some people scolded our director."

Then he laughed, "It's mainly because there are several torture scenes that are quite cruel. Both the actors and the crew members were under a lot of pressure to shoot. But I still believe in Director Qiu Tang's ability. He can shoot "The Sound of Wind" well."

Li Qiutang said in an interview during her break from filming: "We were under a lot of pressure in the first half of the month, but fortunately we have finished filming. Well, the most difficult parts are almost finished, and today we will film some eating and drinking scenes."

During the interview, several actors also talked about interesting things during the filming, but they still refused to reveal any details about their specific feelings for the movie.

The reporters only knew that these actors would be punished, and they knew nothing else.

Zhang Hanyu even joked, "Why didn't the director arrange a honey trap? I'll fall for it."

The dispute over the role in "Painted Skin" affected the crew of "The Sound of Wind". Zhou Xun and Zhao Yanzi were not on good terms, and it was rumored that she was also not on good terms with Li Bingbing from the same company.

This kind of remarks are really groundless. The number one female star of Huayi has not been determined yet. Fan Bingbing is gone, and Zhou Xun is here again. If Fan Bingbing is not qualified to compete with Li Bingbing for the number one female star, then isn't Zhou Xun qualified enough either?
But at today's media visit, both actresses clarified the rumors of discord. Zhou Xun said: "We admire each other very much. If there are distracting thoughts in our hearts, the play will definitely not come out."

Li Bingbing said: "We are like sisters. We usually talk about everything together, including beauty, skin care... and of course love."

Of course, media visits could not delay the filming progress. When Li Qiutang was filming, the media stood outside the set to take pictures.

A funny thing happened during the filming.

Zhou Xun said she wanted to eat the crew bankrupt and she really did it. Let them eat, the show must go on as usual. As a result, Zhou Xun couldn't utter a word.

"Go ahead and say your words." Li Qiutang was both angry and amused watching in front of the monitor.

This one definitely couldn't be used, Li Qiutang shouted at the studio with a fleshy voice: "Say the words!!"

Li Qiutang's voice made everyone in the audience burst into laughter. Even the reporters outside the venue burst into laughter. Li Bingbing, who was sitting next to Zhou Xun, pinched her and said with a smile: "You didn't eat breakfast this morning."

Zhou Xun's first words were: "This juice is too sweet, is there anything else?"

The assistant director quickly came in and said with a smile: "You can eat, but you still have to say the words. Let's do it again."

The scene was rearranged and filming started again.

In the evening, after the summary meeting, Wang Zhonglei saw that Huang Jianxin had left first, and only Li Qiutang was left in the meeting room. He stepped forward and said, "What's the matter with that planning bureau that you discussed with Jiang Wen? Tell me about it."

How did he know about this movie?!
