Chapter 229 Acting Cheats (Third)
Shaw Studios, "The Lord of the Demon Cult Who Relying on Heaven".

The next shot begins.

High-altitude shot, moving with the boom: Zhang Wuji, played by Chen Xiaotang, came out from one end of the corridor, fiddling with a thatch in his hand.

In the full shot, three people were crowded by the window and peeping in furtively, and they happened to be caught by Chen Xiaotang.

"What are you doing?" Chen Xiaotang stepped forward and stopped.

The camera shifted, revealing the faces of three Wudang disciples—Liu Qingyun, Tao Dayu and Wu Qihua, who looked "slutty" and said vigilantly, "What are you doing? Go away!"

"Nothing? I saw you peeping!" Chen Xiaotang said righteously.

"Go, go, why do you care so much!" Liu Qingyun pushed and shoved.

"Yeah, just take care of yourself! Sick man!" Tao Dayu and Wu Qihua sneered.

Zhang Wuji, played by Chen Xiaotang, was in a hurry, so he shouted into the room: "Miss Zhou, someone is watching you!"

Camera shift.

Zhou Zhiruo, played by Li Meixian, hurried out of the tub, put on her clothes, and scolded: "Who is it, who is outside?!"

Turn the lens again.

Liu Qingyun and the others said viciously to Chen Xiaotang: "You are doing well, just wait and see!" and fled away in a hurry.

In these few shots, although the three of Liu Qingyun don't have a big role, they vividly interpret the three "Wudang scum".

Filming continues.

close-up.

The door of the room opened suddenly, and Zhou Zhiruo, played by Li Meixian, ran out with her clothes on.

"Who, who is peeking outside?"

Zhang Wuji, played by Chen Xiaotang, said shyly: "The person who peeked at you has already run away - I chased him away, you... are you okay?"

Li Meixian rolled her eyes, "Brother Wuji, it turned out that you saved me. I'm so scared. I never imagined that there are such bad guys in a place like Wudang!" The clothes are so pitiful, looking protective.

Behind the camera, the fat man praised, "This girl is on the road, look, she looks so pitiful, she is so pitiful!"

In fact, Li Meixian herself looks delicate and seems to be very weak. It can be said that the image of Zhou Zhiruo at this time is getting twice the result with half the effort.

But before the fat man had finished complimenting Li Meixian, Li Meixian got stuck when she was responding to her lines—mainly because she was too nervous.Especially when playing against a handsome guy like Chen Xiaotang, as long as it is a girl, probably nine out of [-] can't help being excited.

"Ka, what kind of plane are you doing again? The acting was so good just now, why did you suddenly forget the lines? Have you memorized it?" The fat man couldn't help but burst out.

Li Meixian timidly said: "I don't know how it happened, it's just... I just remember it clearly, and I forget it as soon as it comes to my mouth!"

"Forgot? Did you forget to eat? Did you forget to get your salary?!" The fat man said irritably, "Do it again!"

……

Everyone acted again, but not long after the machine was turned on, Li Meixian got stuck on her lines again this time, and even Chen Xiaotang secretly reminded her that she couldn't react. Not confident anymore.

"No more filming, no more filming! A newcomer is a newcomer, with no standard at all, just a few simple lines, but he can't even remember them!" Fatty Wang Jing was furious.

Chen Xiaotang, the screenwriter and lead actor, had no choice but to comfort him, saying that it would be good to pause for a while, so that everyone could relax.

"I've said it all, Ah Tang, why would you choose these newcomers to act? If I had known this, I shouldn't have listened to you. It would be great to choose those old actors!" The fat man complained to Chen Xiaotang while drinking mineral water.

Chen Xiaotang didn't expect that such a problem would arise on the first day of filming, especially the selection of a newcomer was his own idea. Now it's good, the newcomer can't act, what do you ask the director to do? !

Chen Xiaotang had no choice but to comfort the fat man and said, "Don't be impatient, you are the director, so you should be able to tell that she is mainly because she is too nervous --- lines are the most difficult basic skills for an actor. Give her a little more time to get used to it!"

"No, Ah Tang, I have already assured Sixth Uncle and his old man that he will finish filming the show at the speed of flying. If I grind like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to fly, and I will turn into a turtle!" The fat man shook his head and said.

"Perhaps---there are other ways..." Chen Xiaotang said suddenly.

"What way? Lip-sync for her?" The fat man joked.

"Although it's not a lip-sync, it's similar." Chen Xiaotang smiled mysteriously after speaking.

...............

Shooting mounts again.

The camera is rustling on the track.

"Brother Wuji, you are such a good person. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened..." Li Meixian said her lines. Directly in front of her, her two buddies, Shao Meiqi and Deng Cuiwen, held huge reminder boards. Filled with lines——
"No, you can't say that, I can't just sit idly by when I see it!" Zhang Wuji, played by Chen Xiaotang, said shyly.

"But, Brother Wuji, I'm still a little scared, what if they come back again?" Li Meixian said pitifully.

"No, they have already run away and dare not come again!" Chen Xiaotang avoided her tender eyes.

……

Shao Meiqi and Deng Cuiwen hurriedly changed the signage.

Li Meixian glanced lightly, and sighed: "Since you don't want to, I won't force you, but I'm a weak woman, I'm afraid—" Turning to enter the room with sad eyes, closing the door.

Chen Xiaotang couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed into the room, "Miss Zhou, don't say that, if I can, I'm willing to protect you!"

…………

The lines of this scene were filmed very smoothly.Although Li Meixian finished her lines by looking at the prompt board, she couldn't see this at all from the camera.

For this, Fatty Wang Jing couldn't help admiring Chen Xiaotang, this Ah Tang had so many tricks.

In fact, Chen Xiaotang's idea came from Bai Xiaoman, Shaw's actress who committed suicide.

It is said that Bai Xiaoman is a female rookie discovered by Li Hanxiang, the great director of Hong Kong romantic films.After filming the film "Sensual Dogs and Horses" directed by Li Hanxiang, Bai Xiaoman committed suicide before the film was released. There are different opinions about the reasons.

But this girl was only [-] years old when she died, but she was born with a pretty and mature face, and she was a natural beauty. She was called "the biggest discovery after Lin Dai" as soon as she debuted. When Chen Xiaotang watched the film before, he knew that this statement was true. , I can't help but sigh that the sky is jealous of the beauty.

When filming just now, when Li Meixian couldn't remember her lines, Fatty Wang Jing was helpless, but Chen Xiaotang suddenly remembered an interesting story Li Hanxiang recalled about Bai Xiaoman's acting.

It turned out that when she played "Sensual Dogs and Horses", Bai Xiaoman couldn't remember the lines no matter how hard she tried, so the whole film was Li Hanxiang's reminders from shot to shot beside her. dialogue.As a result, when the film was tested, not only the audience couldn't see it, but even the voice actors couldn't believe it was shot in such a way.The funniest thing is that some people actually praised her for her vivid and natural acting skills.So someone asked director Yang Shiqing who once wanted to use Bai Xiaoman but thought she couldn't act: You said Bai Xiaoman couldn't act, why did she act so well once she was in Li Hanxiang's hands? ——Director Yang was puzzled for a long time and only managed to say: I've opened my eyes, I can't help it!
No matter what, Chen Xiaotang used this trick, and it really worked, and the shooting is now very smooth.

10 minutes later.

"Card! OK! very good!" Fatty Wang Jing shouted. "This scene was performed well. Let's take a rest first. After dinner, we will continue to work!"

Hearing what the director said, everyone realized that their stomachs had already been growling non-stop. It turned out that they had been filming for more than three hours, and it was already around one o'clock in the afternoon.

...............

How to describe the "grand occasion" of everyone eating boxed lunches on the set, I saw a large group of people scrambling to grab the lunch boxes in the lunch basket, and then squeezed together in groups of three or five, eating.

Someone was leaning on the railing, squatting by the corner, sitting on a prop box...while eating, reading newspapers, picking their noses, and spraying words...all kinds of gestures are listed here.

Chen Xiaotang and the fat man got together, and the fat man stretched out his chopsticks to pick up meat from Chen Xiaotang's lunch box from time to time.

When the fat man picked up a large piece of char siu from Chen Xiaotang's lunch box, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help knocking it down with chopsticks. "Is there any mistake, don't you also have it in your lunch box?"

"I'm the backup—after eating yours, I'll eat mine!"

Chen Xiaotang was depressed.

"Are you that fond of meat?"

"Nonsense, of course you have to eat more meat to eat barbecued pork rice! Only then can you keep up with nutrition, and be white and fat like me!"

"What should I do if I gave you all the nutrition?" Chen Xiaotang wondered.

"You? I didn't say you, Ah Tang, you are in pretty good shape, don't learn from me, especially don't eat any barbecued pork, or it will ruin your healthy body! ——Listen to me, overnutrition It's also a crime!" Fatty said earnestly.

"So you're helping me?"

"Yeah, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?! Exchange my fat and fat for your handsome health, I have no hesitation!" Picking up the char siew in Chen Xiaotang's lunch box and throwing it into his mouth, he said with emotion: "Who made us Are you friends? Needless to say, go up the mountain of knives and go down into the sea of ​​fire, let alone fork roast together?!"

Chen Xiaotang was speechless, this fat man was too good at talking.

Just as the two were farting, Shao Meiqi, Li Meixian and Deng Cuiwen came over with lunch boxes, and said with a bit of a smile on their faces: "Well, director, Brother Chen, this barbecued pork is too fatty, do you want it?"

Fatty: "...you are so thin, don't say I don't care about you, the director, you should eat more!——this way you will be healthy and beautiful!" Nonsense, there is still a big piece in his lunch box, how can he finish it? !
Chen Xiaotang was convinced by Fatty's "ever-changing", so he could only say to the three beauties: "Give it all to me—don't waste it!"

Only then did the three girls smile happily, and hurriedly picked out the char siu from the lunch box and put it in Chen Xiaotang's lunch box.

The fat man opened his mouth wide open, and waited for the girls to leave before he said, "I'll pick, there are so many, can you finish it?"

Chen Xiaotang choked the fat man with one sentence, "If you can't finish eating, pack it up!"

After a while, the fat man said angrily, "This is a studio, you think it's a hotel?! Believe it or not, I'll tell Uncle Six to say that you embezzled barbecued pork—"
