Chapter 238 Lin Xuan: My room is quite big! (Please subscribe!)

The next morning, Lin Xuan got up on time.

After having breakfast at the hotel, we went to the venue arranged by the crew for training.

It’s not that the studio can’t afford to rent, but the training center is more cost-effective.

"Director Lin, good morning."

"Good morning."

Lin Xuan came to the venue and greeted the actors and staff.

In the huge training hall, there are more than a dozen actors standing here and there, including the three Tianlong brothers.

"Director Lin, your movements are a bit complicated. If you want to do this..."

The martial arts instructor found Lin Xuan and explained martial arts routines to him.

Among the three, Qiao Feng's routine is the simplest.

The Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms reach to the Yang Zhi, wide open and close, and can subdue ten groups with one force.

When it comes to performance, as long as the actors show a sense of strength.

It is said that you only need to use your palms, and the explosives and special effects will do the rest.

Duan Yu and Xu Zhu both learned martial arts from the Xiaoyao sect, taking a light and elegant route, which was much more difficult.

In the original time and space, Lin Zhiyin plays Duan Yu.

Because he has no martial arts skills, the martial arts instructor cannot arrange particularly difficult moves for him.

Even if the martial arts instructor designed it, Lin Zhiyin wouldn't be able to practice it.

If Duan Yu is played by Lin Xuan, there will be no worries in this regard.

Martial arts instructors can fully display their talents on him.

Qian Jiale once said a bold saying: If I can't do an action, then it's impossible for others to do it.

Now Lin Xuan also has the courage to say this.

"Director Lin, do this move first like this, then rotate around..."

The movements designed for him by the martial arts instructor are elegant and unrestrained.

However, when he was demonstrating, he didn't feel that way.

"I understand, let me give it a try."

Lin Xuan moved his body and came to an open space.

He moved quickly and coordinated with the moves in his hands, including a flying kick in the air, a 360-degree backflip, and a left side spin to dodge...

After just watching it two or three times, Lin Xuan memorized this set of moves.

The most important thing is that the same movements he performs are many times more beautiful than those of martial arts instructors.

"Damn, this guy is so handsome."

Wu Jing stood aside and watched, the look of envy on his face was beyond words.

Hu Jun nodded in agreement: "Well, my parents gave birth and raised well, we can't envy this."

What boy doesn’t have a martial arts dream?

For actors, starring in martial arts dramas is the best way to realize their dreams.

But most people's martial arts movements are stiff and twisted, completely different from what they imagined themselves to be.

It's probably the difference between a buyer's show and a seller's show. It's almost unbearable to look at.

"Wow, this action is so cool."

"Director Lin is great, come on!"

The actress who was training on the other side saw Lin Xuan's martial arts.

Everyone was so excited that they couldn't take their eyes away, their eyes shining.

There is still a bit of reserve in the young actor.

The fiery eyes of those older women were not concealed at all.

Girls may not like martial arts, but they definitely like handsome guys, not to mention a handsome guy who knows martial arts.

"low profile."

Lin Xuan smiled and waved to them.

"Okay, stop pretending."

Wu Jing came over and said sourly: "You joined the team late, now it's time to practice."

Lin Xuan said: "Okay, who should I spar with? With you?"

Wu Jing rolled her eyes: "Duan Yu and Xu Zhu are fighting."

That's right, Murong Fu was Duan Yu's lifelong enemy.

"Director Lin, I don't know martial arts, please be patient."

Xiu Qing came over and said modestly.

He has been practicing Henan Opera since he was a child and has a solid foundation in Kung Fu.

Although he doesn't know many boxing moves, he still has more than ten years of childish skills, which is much better than those actors who only know how to do tricks.

Duan Yu has quite a few opponents.

In addition to Murong Fu, there are also the Crocodile God of the South China Sea, Duan Yanqing, etc.

After two days of sparring practice, Lin Xuan has almost mastered all the martial arts routines.

After all, "Dragon" is not "Xiu Chun Dao", and the martial arts movements are more elegant and beautiful.

This is especially true for Duan Yu's Six Meridians Divine Sword. All you have to do is stretch out your fingers, and the special effects will do the rest.

In the next few days, Lin Xuan still came to the venue on time every day.

But instead of training myself, I coach other actors.

The crew has too many actors for martial arts scenes, and the number of martial arts instructors is simply not enough.

The director can only find other helpers, and Lin Xuan and Wu Jing are the best foreign aids.

"We divide the work and cooperate. You go here and I go over there."

"Wait a minute." Wu Jing stopped him: "Why do you teach actresses and I teach actors?"

"Don't talk nonsense. You can either train actors or go back to the hotel to take classes."

The acting teacher assigned by Lin Xuan joined the group very early.

Actors like Liu Yifei who don't have martial arts scenes have to go to class every day.

When Wu Jing heard the word "class", she immediately became scared: "Director Lin, you can't use your power for personal gain."

"Well, let's just stand here and let them choose freely. Let's see who they want to be the coach."

Hearing this, Wu Jing immediately gave up, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I will suffer a little loss, and I will leave this good thing to you."

Lin Xuan looked at him with contempt.

You still let me, you really know how to find the steps.

"Director Lin, can you teach me?"

"Director Lin, this action is too difficult, I can't do it well."

"Director Lin, can you help me support me when I bend down?"

When Lin Xuan walked to the actress, he was immediately surrounded by people, who were chattering like Pansi Cave.

"I can teach you all, just line up one by one."

When practicing martial arts routines, it is inevitable that there will be physical contact.

That's why he doesn't want to train male actors.

Covered in stinky sweat, he wished he could stay far away.

Those who are capable work hard. In addition to coaching Duan Yu's daughter-in-law, Lin Xuan also trained Qiao Feng's daughter-in-law.

Hu Jun had no choice but to stand aside and watch helplessly.

Although he has filmed several martial arts movies, his talent and ability are limited.

It's good if he can practice his own movements well, don't expect him to teach others.

…………

In addition to guest martial arts instructor, Lin Xuan also helps the crew design the look.

When he first saw the original makeup photos, he almost breathed his last.

In the dressing room, Lin Xuan pointed to the photo of Tianshan’s child grandmother and asked:

"Can you tell me why you made it look like this?"

She had high braids, straight bangs, and two pieces of blush.

Originally I thought Shu Chang had offended the stylist.

Now it seems that the stylist's aesthetic taste is different from ordinary people.

Not only the Tianshan Tonglao, but also the makeup of Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing are ugly in all kinds of ways.

"Look at Zhong Ling's twin ponytails, such a cute hairstyle, but the design looks like a lunatic."

The stylist still wants to argue a few words.

"Director Lin, I think..."

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think."

Stylist:?

What he said was so overbearing.

"Call Shu Chang, Yang Rui, Jiang Xin... all over."

Lin Xuan was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly called over the actors who needed to be transformed. He wanted to modify them on the spot.

"Tear your hair apart and redo it, replace the hairpin, the straight bangs are too ugly, change the clothes to this one..."

Lin Xuan seemed to be playing with a dress-up doll.

All the actors followed his instructions and put on the designated new clothes.

The first person to complete the new look was Shu Chang.

When the Heavenly Child Elder appeared, she looked like a seven or eight-year-old child.

Lin Xuan didn't do any special styling, he just made it like a child.

The final effect is that of a rich and wealthy daughter with an extraordinary background.

As the leader of Lingjiu Palace, Tianshan Child Elder’s wardrobe must have luxurious clothes.

"Isn't it pretty? Why make it so complicated?"

The stylist was a little unconvinced. "This look is too ordinary and has no characteristics at all."

"Nonsense, modeling is not performance art, as long as it fits the characteristics of the character.

With all the bells and whistles you put on, who can keep up with your weird aesthetic? "

Lin Xuan was criticizing him while changing the looks of other actors.

Give Zhong Ling a new hairstyle and remove the purple hair ball on A Zi's head.

If you have purple in your name, you will have a bunch of purple hair on your head. What kind of logic is this?

Shu Chang took a look in the mirror and said with a satisfied smile: "Thank you, Director Lin, this look is really nice."

She was very dissatisfied with the previous look, but she was just a young actress, so how could she dare to argue with the stylist.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan was there to help her solve this trouble.

"You're welcome, you go find a photographer and take a new makeup photo, and so will everyone else."

After dealing with the hidden danger of styling, Lin Xuan continued to stroll around the set.

It was not his own team that he had worked with many times, so he was worried about many aspects and had to check it himself.

Lin Xuan stretched his hand too far, and of course the people below were unhappy and ran to Lao Zhang to complain.

Zhang Jizhong had no objection at all.

Although I am a little reluctant, I have to admit that Lin Xuan's design is more popular with young people.

The mainstream audience for costume martial arts dramas is this group of young people.

…………

A few days later, "Dragon Movie" started shooting, and the opening ceremony was held in the film and television city.

All the actors put on new costumes and evaluated and compared each other.

"Brother Lin Xuan, do my clothes look good?"

Liu Yifei also put on new costumes.

She was wearing a light pink gauze dress, with her black hair hanging naturally on her shoulders.

Her eyebrows are curved, her eyes are clear, and her skin is whiter than snow. She is delicate and refined, like a fairy who is not stained by the smoke and dust of the world.

This is how it should be.

But Liu Yifei was like a husky today, running around everywhere and never letting go.

One moment he was laughing and joking with Shu Chang, and the next moment he came to Lin Xuan's side. That bit of fairy spirit had already drifted to Java.

"nice."

"Hehe, I think so too."

Lin Xuan was puzzled: "It's just a power-on ceremony, why are you having so much fun?"

"It's nothing, I just feel happy filming."

Lin Xuan understood.

This silly kid was locked up in a hotel for half a month and took acting lessons. He was probably suffocated.

Now I finally have the opportunity to go out and have fun, like a wild horse running wild, I am very happy to see everything.

A giant poster of "Dragon" was set up, and pig heads, fruits and other sacrifices were placed on the table.

There was an incense table in the middle, and the camera was covered with a red cloth.

When everything was ready, Zhang Jizhong led all the actors forward one by one.

The actors stood together for the opening photo.

Lao Zhang took out a stack of red envelopes from his arms and gave them to the actors one by one.

This money is just to ask for a good omen, even the three Tianlong brothers only have a few thousand yuan in red envelopes.

After the opening ceremony, the crew came to the hotel conference room to hold a media meeting.

Not surprisingly, the reporter once again mentioned the previous conflict between Lin Xuan and Zhang Jizhong.

However, the two of them had reconciled, and they happily bypassed this trap.

At the end of the meeting, the reporters received the red envelopes and left.

The actors came to the restaurant to eat, and the assistant director sent them the shooting schedule.

Lin Xuan's notice list is densely packed.

There are scenes to be filmed almost every day, and the filming time of many actors has been coordinated for this purpose.

"Let me see yours."

Hu Shifei rushed out from behind him, grabbed Lin Xuan's notice sheet, and handed him her own.

"No need to watch, our scenes will have to wait until next month."

He had to film Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing's scenes first, and Wang Yuyan's scenes came later.

"Oh."

Liu Yifei lost her smile and returned the notice sheet to him.

"Why are you so tired? After joining the group, I concentrated on filming and used all the skills I learned in the past half month."

"I know, I have been studying very hard during this period, and I will definitely not be held back."

Wang Yuyan's character design is thin and she doesn't need any acting skills in the first place. Her performance is not as difficult as Bai Xiuzhu's.

After this period of training, she is still very confident.

After she left, Yang Rui and Jiang Xin came over.

"Director Lin."

It was their first time filming with Lin Xuan, so they were quite nervous.

Lin Xuan comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I don't eat people."

The two of them smiled.

Everyone would be nervous working with big-name actors.

Lin Xuan took the initiative and said: "We don't have a play this afternoon, so let's find a place to rehearse."

Hearing this, the two of them smiled and nodded.

They came to Lin Xuan for rehearsal matters.

I was worried that he wouldn't like rehearsals before, but now it seems that these worries are unnecessary.

Of course Lin Xuan doesn't like to rehearse, or in other words, no one likes to rehearse.

But he understands the principle of sharpening the sword before chopping wood.

In order to make the shooting go smoothly, you have to do it even if you don’t like it.

"My room is quite big, otherwise I can rehearse somewhere."

Lin Xuan was too lazy to go out, and the living room area was enough for them to use.

Hearing this, the two looked at each other and nodded silently.

It's dangerous to go alone, but two people should be fine.

…………

After dinner, the three of them came to Lin Xuan's suite.

"Come in and take a look around."

Jiang Xin and Yang Rui walked into the room and opened their mouths in surprise.

"Wow, Director Lin, your room is really big."

"There is also a guest room and kitchen here."

Not only is the room big, the bed is also quite big.

"The leading role in the crew meets this standard. If you are envious, try to become the leading role as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Director Lin. I hope this day will come to me."

Both of them sounded weak.

The title of starring is quite far away from them.

Lin Xuan understood their thoughts and smiled without saying a word.

After they finished the visit, Lin Xuan asked his assistant to prepare drinks and fruits, and then started rehearsing in the living room.

Duan Yu's scenes were directed by Lin Xuan himself.

He told them directly what effect he wanted.

Just act according to his request.

After an afternoon of rehearsal, the two felt much more relaxed, and their impression of Lin Xuan was greatly improved.

I originally thought that famous actors must have bad tempers, but Lin Xuan is obviously not such a person.

Not only gentle, but also talented.

Lin Xuan could tell the key to the problems they encountered in performance in just a few sentences.

The effect was immediate, much better than that of a film school professor.

"Okay, that's it for today. All the scenes have been rehearsed several times. This is how they were performed during filming."

"Oh... Director Lin, I see there is still one scene on the notice list that has not been rehearsed."

Jiang Xin hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

Lin Xuan looked at her playfully: "Why, you also want to rehearse the kissing scene."

Jiang Xin looked down and her face turned red instantly.

In that scene, Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing were struck by Yin Yang He Huan San, and then...

"No, I saw it wrong!"

"Hahaha……"

Jiang Xin explained quickly, and Yang Rui next to her was laughing so much that she lay on the sofa and slapped her hard.

"Stop laughing."

Jiang Xin rushed over to cover her mouth.

After an afternoon of rehearsal, the relationship between the three of them became much closer.

In front of Lin Xuan, the two of them also showed a little bit of their true nature.

After the fight, the two stood up to say goodbye and left the room.
