Nanny Raiders

Chapter 147 Almost Drowning

It is not easy to shoot underwater, so more preparations should be made to ensure safety in the early stage.

The artificial lake in front of us is at least ten meters deep. The three cameramen each put on their diving equipment and prepared to go into the water. This trip was accompanied by three professional lifeguards. Gu Jiuxiu, accompanied by the lifeguards, immersed himself in the lake. , sink your head into the water from time to time to get used to the water.

The underwater shooting took a lot of preparation time. After the shot of "Lin Yanyu" facing the God of War beast tamer over there, most of the crew devoted themselves to the preparations for the underwater shooting scene.

The director stood on the shore and waited for Gu Jiuxiu to get used to opening his eyes underwater. Seeing that it was past ten o'clock and almost eleven o'clock, and the sun was on top, the sunlight at this time was almost vertically shining on the water surface, so the Most of the reflected light is at the right time and place, and the light in the water is the most suitable for shooting underwater scenes.

However, the director didn't dare to push, and just asked, "Xiao Gu, how do you feel?"

With the help of three lifeguards, Gu Jiuxiu floated half of his body on the water. His long gown was already wet and stuck to his skin, and his wig was also stuck to his cheeks and neck. However, Gu Jiuxiu's expression was still relaxed, and he replied: "You can prepare to start shooting. gone."

The director immediately said: "You must hurry up when shooting underwater. If you don't hit the board, you will start performing as soon as you get out of the water. The photographer will match your angle and lens. You don't need to worry about them. Hurry up and call for help if you can't hold on. reluctantly."

The director knows better than anyone else what Gu Jiuxiu's net worth is now, and what the price is for filming such a scene where his life is hidden, but despite the high cost, he still has to work hard to get this scene shot.

Gu Jiuxiu's current net worth is directly proportional to his popularity. I still remember that Gu Jiuxiu was predicted to be a cancer in the ratings at the beginning of the show, but since the show's launch, the response has been overwhelming.

Now this drama is sitting firmly at the top of the ratings list, and has been highly evaluated by various media, and the online ratings are also very impressive, so the expectations for post-shooting and production are higher, which leads the director to be picky and strive for perfection.

If underwater scenes are shot indoors in a "glass tank", the difficulty is lowered, the cost is not high, the risk is minimal, and the beauty of the picture can also be compensated by post-production. What is lacking is not only the image sense of real guns and live ammunition, but also the publicity value of the pre-campaign and post-publicity.

The production team attaches great importance to this. The feature film has not yet started shooting. Since Gu Jiuxiu entered the water, two cameramen have already been carrying cameras to shoot sideshows of Gu Jiuxiu.

This is why the director would rather spend a lot of money and take risks to shoot the underwater scene in real scene. In terms of publicity value alone, it is enough to earn back the cost of the scene.

Regarding the director's concern, Gu Jiuxiu nodded and said, "Strive for it once."

"it is good--"

The director picked up the walkie-talkie and gave a task to the three photographers who were about to go into the water and shoot: "Camera No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] are ready to go into the water with the actors."

Gu Jiuxiu gestured OK to the director, sank and dived into the water.

The three photographers were fully equipped with diving equipment, and then jumped into the lake, and the three lifeguards followed the three photographers and then dived into the water——

As soon as he sank into the lake, Gu Jiuxiu suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes got used to the contact with the running water for a while, but they were still quite used to it.

The photographer kept a certain distance from Gu Jiuxiu, but the camera was tightly grasping the close-up shot of Gu Jiuxiu.

Since the shots this time only have close-ups and close-ups, the whole body of Gu Jiuxiu will not be photographed, so the three lifeguards swam to Gu Jiuxiu's feet, half-supporting Gu Jiuxiu's body to reduce his discomfort and pressure in the water.

Gu Jiuxiu's round, dark eyes are especially bright in the water.

He was submerged in the water, except for his feet swimming slightly, there was no extra movement, which allowed the audience to focus on Gu Jiuxiu's eyes without distraction.

I saw Gu Jiuxiu's eyes fixed on a certain open space in front of him, as if there was a tense and fierce battle in the empty blue water.

According to the script, what Gu Jiuxiu is watching right now is the underwater battle between the mermaid and "Lin Yanyu".

The battle was fierce and the scene was so exciting, as Gu Jiuxiu who had seen it with his own eyes, it was a feast for the eyes, and the picture is still vivid in his mind when he thinks about it.

Although the battle between the mermaid and "Lin Yanyu" was aimed at vying for the ownership of "Wang Baqi", Gu Jiuxiu still couldn't distinguish whether they were enemies or friends.

First, there is the mermaid, which pierces the head of the red skull with an arrow, but while imprisoning Gu Jiuxiu, it also helps him escape the attack of sandstorms, and the attitude of its master, the beast trainer, towards Gu Jiuxiu is even more elusive; Lin Yanyu", it is obvious that the living dead act on the orders of their masters, so "Lin Yanyu" snatching Gu Jiuxiu is also Luo Yutian's intention, but what is Luo Yutian's intention?Gu Jiuxiu didn't know.

The doubts, bewilderment, surprise, bewilderment and suspicion in Gu Jiuxiu's heart were all expressed in his eyes, and captured by the cameraman.

Suddenly, Gu Jiuxiu's eyes turned and fell to the depths of the lake, all the doubts in his eyes disappeared, and what appeared in his eyes this time was surprise and joy!

Immediately, Gu Jiuxiu's gaze moved up following the traces of a certain person, and once again focused on the fierce battle scene just now. There was clearly nothing in front of him, but in his eyes, there was an unprecedented grand battle unfolding in his eyes.

The photographer didn't have time to appreciate Gu Jiuxiu's natural and smooth acting skills, but felt that the scene in the camera changed again. Gu Jiuxiu turned his head suddenly, with a surprised and terrified expression on his face——

The photographers still felt that they were not satisfied, eager to guess what happened to the protagonist from the changes in Gu Jiuxiu's expression and movements, but they saw Gu Jiuxiu crossed his hands in front of the camera and made a cross, and the three lifeguards immediately signaled to take Gu Jiuxiu with him. surfaced.

The picture stopped abruptly, and the director and others standing in front of the monitor screen could not stop watching.

"Jiuxiu—"

As soon as Gu Jiuxiu came to the surface of the water, he leaned against the bank and gasped for breath, when he heard the voice of his manager Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao took a soft towel and quickly handed it to Gu Jiuxiu to wipe his face.

Gu Jiuxiu sat on the shore of the lake, breathing in the air greedily.

The director came over happily and said to Gu Jiuxiu, "Hey, little Gu, thank you for your hard work!"

Gu Jiuxiu also adjusted now, the suffocating feeling of lack of oxygen in his chest disappeared, he held a towel to press the remaining water stains on his face, and turned to ask the director: "Director, what's up, are you okay?"

Although Gu Jiuxiu was not out of breath, his words were short and labor-saving two or three words.

The director responded immediately: "Okay! Go through it once!"

There are two underwater scenes. When Gu Jiuxiu went into the water to shoot just now, the director didn’t ask him to limit which scene he would specialize in. Judging from the footage of Gu Jiuxiu’s performance, Gu Jiuxiu obviously acted out the second scene of this scene in advance. .

In the [-] or so seconds of filming just now, whether it was floating in the water and watching the fierce battle between "Lin Yanyu" and the mythical mermaid, seeing the red skull waking up at the bottom of the lake, or seeing the danger lurking behind him The surprise and fear revealed by the restraining residence... Gu Jiuxiu fully revealed the series of reactions of "Wang Domineering".

The director even suspected that Gu Jiuxiu had counted the number of seconds beforehand. In the short 20 seconds of filming, not a single second would be wasted.

The rest of the scene now is the close-up and close-up shots of the pain and despair that "Wang Baqi" was thrown into the lake by "Lin Yanyu" at the beginning, and the barrier was broken in the water.

Gu Jiuxiu's filming is in excellent condition today, the progress was advanced at one point, the director was too embarrassed to rush him, but asked politely: "How do you feel, there is still plenty of time, do you need to rest for a while before continuing filming?"

Gu Jiuxiu shook his head and said, "The current state is just right for the next shot."

When Gu Jiuxiu said this, the director was overjoyed and didn't think about it too much, he just said, "No hurry, tell me when you're ready."

Gu Jiuxiu handed the towel to the manager, and said to the director, "It's fine."

The whole crew is ready again.

Gu Jiuxiu finally greedily took a deep breath and plunged into the water.

Since this scene was supplemented with the scene where Wang Baqi almost drowned when he entered the water at the beginning, the cameraman immediately started filming as soon as Gu Jiuxiu entered the water.

What Gu Jiuxiu said to the director just now, "The current state is just right for shooting the next shot" is true, because he feels a strong sense of suffocation in his heart, and it is indeed not suitable for him to enter the water again, but also because of this, the shot requires The main character shows the pain and struggle of drowning, which can be easily and more realistically shown.

"Grumbling..."

As soon as Gu Jiuxiu entered the water, a string of bubbles came out of his mouth and floated to the surface of the water.

In an instant—the cold lake water rushed into Gu Jiuxiu's mouth. This feeling is not unfamiliar to Gu Jiuxiu, but he doesn't miss it at all.

The feeling of suffocation is like being chained around the neck, unable to breathe due to the tight neck, and chains are added to the ankles. Gu Jiuxiu was unable to break free in pain, and his body gradually fell downwards.

This shot lasted for five seconds, and every second that passed, Gu Jiuxiu's expression became more painful, and everyone in front of the camera became more shocked.

The director was speechless watching in front of the monitor: "Gu Jiuxiu's scene...is absolutely amazing."

At this time, Luo Yutian absent-mindedly accompanied the other actors in the scene, and finally couldn't help saying "sorry" to the others, got up and went to the monitor on the director's side to see the progress of Gu Jiuxiu's filming.

When Luo Yutian approached, when he saw Gu Jiuxiu performing "Drowning" in the camera, his heart sank, he rushed forward, and grabbed the director's walkie-talkie without the director's permission: "Lifeguard! The actor is drowning!" ! Rescue me quickly!!”

Luo Yutian's roar startled the director and others, and also scared the underwater staff on the walkie-talkie so that the camera trembled.

Luo Yutian threw down the walkie-talkie and ran straight to the lake, jumped, and plunged into the lake as quiet as a mirror.

The scene was immediately chaotic.

When Gu Jiuxiu was dragged by the lifeguard, he opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a familiar figure struggling towards him on the bright water above his head... Who is it?Is it... Luo Yutian?

No, Luo Yutian will not come to rescue him at this time.

While half awake, Gu Jiuxiu confuses reality and fantasy again...

the other side--

When the underwater lifeguards heard Luo Yutian yelling over the walkie-talkie, they were stunned for a moment, but once they realized the seriousness of the matter, they hurriedly dragged Gu Jiuxiu's gradually losing body to the shore.

Luo Yutian jumped into the water recklessly. Although his long clothes and long hair did not prevent him from going underwater freely, he was afraid of delaying the lifeguards bringing Gu Jiuxiu to the shore, so he didn't dare to intervene halfway.

Although Luo Yutian knew that it would be futile to jump into the water, he couldn't bear to stand on the shore and worry.

Fortunately, the three lifeguards were not completely stunned by the chaotic scene. They quickly pushed Gu Jiuxiu out of the water, and one of them supported Gu Jiuxiu's chin, making his mouth and nose float out of the water, and dragged Gu Jiuxiu back to the shore sideways.

Luo Yutian also followed the lifeguards and swam back to the shore to help carry Gu Jiuxiu, who was half unconscious, ashore.

As soon as Gu Jiuxiu was brought ashore, the lifeguards rushed to help Gu Jiuxiu clean up the foreign objects in his mouth and nose, and at the same time untied the collar of Gu Jiuxiu's high-necked gown to ensure that Gu Jiuxiu could breathe smoothly.

"Cough cough cough..."

Fortunately, Gu Jiuxiu was not completely unconscious. He remained sane during the first aid by the lifeguards. After being taken out of the water, he vomited the lake water that poured into his mouth, and now he is gradually regaining consciousness.
