Chapter 111: Parkour

Of course, Zhao Tao would not believe that Xiao Yao was really crazy after a phone call from Zhao Rui. No matter how you say it, there is still Ye Jiaying in the crew, even if Xiao Yao really has something to inform Xiao Siqi, it will not be their turn to pass through such a big circle www.biquge.info of their father and son, not to mention that Zhao Rui is still obviously emotional on the phone.

After asking about the whole story, Zhao Tao instead began to use Xiao Yao's matter to educate Zhao Ruilai.

"Don't look at the drama you've been acting for years, there's a lot of it. But if you really want to say that you are attentive and attentive to filming, you are really not as good as Bayi. Zhao Tao said on the other end of the phone: "I haven't told you about experiencing the role and digging into the prescribed situation, right? There is a jargon in Peking Opera that if you don't go crazy, you can't survive, in fact, it's the same in our industry." Of course, Bayi is a demon, even among our adult actors, there are few people who can do what he does for a role. I don't blame you for not being able to do it like Bayi now, but at least you have to be right in your mentality, you have to look at people with a learning mentality, not call me and say he's crazy. ”

The most authoritative director in the crew never stopped Xiao Yao, but watched him make trouble there with a smile every day, and it was difficult for others to say anything. After spending almost a week of adaptation, everyone slowly discovered that Xiao Yao didn't seem to be so difficult to get along with.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Xiao Yao has brought the character of "Chengying" and the way of dealing with the world to life, and he has not really completely become "Chengying".

That's an ancient character, I don't even know what the camera is, if Xiao Yao completely becomes a "Chengying", how can he still film? And in terms of the character and behavior of the character "Chengying", in the whole play, it is actually still the most likable character, so what can't everyone stand when they regard Xiao Yao as a modern version of "Chengying" temporarily? That is, everyone has never seen such filming before, and they are not used to it for a while.

After everyone accepted Xiao Yao's behavior in life, everyone began to marvel at how Xiao Yao was able to stay in the state of "Chengying" for so long. It's just a character in a script, a fictional character, and it's definitely not an easy task to keep every moment of the behavior completely in line with the "shadow".

So, Chen Xiaoting thought of the seven or eight pages of unfinished character biography that Xiao Yao saw in his hotel room the night before the filming of the scene. No wonder he said that he couldn't help himself solve the problem after the filming started, it turned out that he was already preparing at that time to turn himself into a "Chengying" after the filming started.

And after Chen Xiaoting spread the news that Xiao Yao was preparing a character biography, Su Chengying also remembered the so-called "actor secrets" that Xiao Yao told him a few years ago, and then he realized that he didn't just talk, but really did it.

However, the biggest reason why the people in the crew accept Xiao Yao's acting method is because it is indeed effective. Otherwise, no matter how good your theory is, but the actual production is a mess, or it is ineffective, it can only be regarded as a neurotic nonsense.

Xiao Yao acted for the first time as a newcomer, but the number of ng times during the filming process was very small, and even if there were, it was mostly because of the deviation between the position or face orientation and the camera position or lens orientation.

After all, when he was acting in dramas, he didn't have a camera, reality shows were follow-up, and variety shows basically only had one direction for the audience, and he didn't need to consider the direction of the camera, he really didn't have any experience in this area. However, he has a strong learning ability, and after a few days of shooting, he basically doesn't even have this kind of NG. He acted well and filmed smoothly, so the people in the crew naturally wouldn't say anything more about his abnormal behavior.

However, this method of experiencing the role is very helpful for filming literary dramas, but it is very limited for filming martial arts dramas. In particular, although his physical fitness is very good, the Shaolin Changquan and Bajiquan he learned are all fierce ways, which are not consistent with the smart and elegant martial arts of "Chengying", and many movements are not smooth, which has brought him a lot of trouble.

The filming sequence of TV series is generally basically in the order of the plot, but it is not absolute.

In this play, because there are many martial arts scenes that need to be used in Weiya, the fight scenes are relatively concentrated in the back to shoot, one is to reduce the number of dismantling Weiya as much as possible to improve the shooting efficiency, on the other hand, it is also to give time for the actors to better familiarize themselves with each other, so as to avoid accidental injuries in the process of filming. Therefore, the problems encountered by Xiao Yao in filming scenes were also exposed relatively late.

Xiao Yao is not omniscient, and he didn't expect this problem before.

Originally, he thought that with his physical fitness, it would not be difficult to make movements according to the requirements of martial arts instructors. But after actually trying it, I realized that after practicing hard-core boxing for more than ten years, he already has a considerable degree of muscle memory, and how he feels awkward to do those elegant movements.

It's just a matter of action style, not counting his lack of experience in hanging Weiya. After being hoisted into the air by Wia, the feeling of having no roots under his feet and not leaning on his limbs is not something that everyone has experienced. How to maintain his body shape in this situation, and even to complete some specified movements, is also a problem that he needs to solve.

Using a stand-in is a solution, but the director doesn't want to use it when it really doesn't work, otherwise the physical fitness of the actor will not become a focus of the director's inspection when the actor is selected. For Xiao Yao, using a stand-in means some kind of failure for himself, and he is even more unwilling. So he had to figure out how to solve these problems.

The problem of hanging Weiya is not difficult to solve.

The reason is simple, it is inexperience. The solution is also very simple, that is, hang a few more times, each time for a period of time. The big deal is to ask Wu Xing and the masters who operate Weiya to do a favor, open a small stove for him, so that he has no scenes to film, and Weiya just lets him practice hanging a few more times when he is empty.

As for the hard work of practicing too much, and even tying the belt for a long time to hang Weiya and wearing out the skin of the waist and abdomen, it is not a problem at all for Xiao Yao, who has practiced martial arts for many years and has adult thoughts and willpower.

Xiao Yao practiced for himself so that he could have better results during filming, and the time he chose did not affect the free time for normal shooting, the director would definitely not object, and Wu Xing and Master Wei Ya would naturally not shirk the difficulty. What's more, Xiao Yao also gave them a red envelope very sensibly and generously in private, which can be regarded as compensation for occupying their private rest time.

Speaking of which, this is also a serious matter in the crew, the masters are still a little embarrassed to accept Xiao Yao's red envelope, but Xiao Yao stood in front of them with the expression of "Chengying", staring at them with puffed cheeks and glaring, looking like if you don't accept me, I will be angry and ask you for trouble, and the masters will laugh happily.

The problem of hanging Weiya is solved, but the problem of action style is not easy to solve.

Muscle memory is something that has been accumulated over many years, and like a human habit, it is difficult to change it for a while. But even if it is difficult, Xiao Yao can only work hard to change. To change a person's habit of doing something in a short period of time, it is usually to do that thing in a different way in a short period of time, and to counteract the behavioral inertia formed before with a large amount of accumulation in the short term.

Xiao Yao also used this method to change his action style. But he used to learn hard-core boxing, and for a while, he didn't have a place to learn a kind of elegant and agile boxing.

There are a lot of martial arts instructors and martial arts instructors in the crew who have learned martial arts, but you can ask them to design a few smart and elegant movements, but it is difficult to make a complete set of sustainable movements. Xiao Yao also thought of practicing those movements alone, but smoothness is also a characteristic of agility and elegance, if there are only a few movements, it will be done in more than ten seconds, and there will inevitably be a pause in the middle when repeating, and the awkward feeling will come back.

In desperation, Xiao Yao remembered that he had watched countless related videos in his previous life, but had not tried a sport, parkour.

Parkour can be regarded as an extreme sport, which is generally used in some special scenes of daily urban life as a place for sports. There are no established rules and movements in this sport, but it only uses various building terrain and facilities in life as obstacles or aids, and travels through this environment by running, jumping, jumping, etc.

This kind of movement is characterized by being fast, flexible, agile, and very ornamental, which just meets the requirements of smoothness, agility and elegance that Xiao Yao needs now.

The plot of the drama "Lingyunzhi" involves a lot of content from temples to rivers and lakes, and the scenes are also very complicated. For this reason, the crew also chartered a large area of the film and television base, which includes all kinds of ancient buildings and various scene facilities, whether it is obstacles or auxiliary facilities, they can be seen everywhere, used for parkour, and the terrain conditions are just right.

As a result, every time during the break, the crew can often see a figure scurrying around in various places on the set.

When he started practicing on the first day, Xiao Yao chose a street road that was rarely used in ancient streets.

Xiao Yao started running from one end of the street, and when he saw a wooden frame with some gadgets hanging on the side of the street, he jumped up and jumped over, and after landing on his feet steadily, he found that the whole person had stopped.

The forward momentum is gone, and the coherence is gone, Xiao Yao shook his head, and he could only start again.

After going through all the actions in the parkour videos he had seen in his previous life, Xiao Yao returned to the starting point he had set and started again.

This time, Xiao Yao kept his center of gravity forward after jumping over the stall, and did not stand after his feet landed, but followed the forward momentum, and rolled forward on the ground with his body, and then stood up and continued to run forward, this time, it was really much smoother.

Then the second obstacle that appeared was a stall with a relatively flat surface, I don't know if it was for selling vegetables or cooked food or cloth or the like, now it is not the filming period, there are no props on it, it is placed on the street like a table.

This time, Xiao Yao decided to change the way, after rushing to the front, the whole person jumped up and pounced forward, with both hands on the flat surface of the stall, and then used both hands and waist and abdomen at the same time, and the legs were retracted in front of the swing, wanting the whole person to cross this stall, but the height of the feet was not high enough, and the foot surface hooked to the side edge of the stall, not only did the whole person fall forward and fall to the ground, but even the stall was brought down by him.

Fortunately, Xiao Yao knew that it was the first time he did it, and he wore gloves, elbow pads and knee pads and other protective measures, although he fell to the ground and grinned in pain, he was not injured.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yao insisted on standing up, picked up the stall he had knocked down, and slowly walked back to the starting point he had set at the end of the street. This time, he secretly warned himself that he must pay attention to the accuracy of his movements and the height of his rise. Then he made his third attempt...

Xiao Yao, who didn't have to film that day, struggled with all the obstacles on this street all day, and when he returned to the hotel at night, he felt more tired than hanging Weiya for a day. However, what made him feel relieved was that every time he fell, his reaction was not bad, and he controlled his body to let the place where he was wearing protective gear land, and there were no bruises on his arms and legs.

Although tired, but he has a strong learning ability, the effect of this day is also obvious. At least in the last few trips, he was able to run the street completely without hindrance.

On the second and third days, Xiao Yao still ran on the streets, but in order to avoid his inertia and strengthen his flexibility and on-the-spot reaction, he changed two different streets in the past two days.

On the fourth day, Xiao Yao began to jump up to the second floor of the restaurant facing the street by the pillar.
