Baxian Town is an ancient town with a long history, located in the southwest direction, thousands of miles of mountains and mountains in the dense forest, surrounded by mountains on three sides, surrounded by water on one side, standing eight peaks above 3,000 meters above sea level, the mountains are full of clouds and mist all the year round, invisible to the eye, so the local people call it Baxian Mountain.

In the tent set up by the crew of "Eight Immortals", screenwriter Bai Li supported his round-edged eyes and read the information in his hand softly.
In the middle of the mirror field outside the tent, two "immortals", one green and one white, were fighting, and a group of photographers and stylists around them stood behind the lens to watch the effect of the sight glasses.
In the shot, Yun Kang's green satin robe was stained with blood, he looked indifferent, reached out to cover his chest, and a stream of blood flowed from his fingers, "You...... Why do you want to kill me?"
"Stop, stop!" said director Zhou Gongxiang with a wave of his hand. He had a scruffy face, deep-set eyes, and dark skin, and he looked like a farmer in the Northwest.
"The performance is not qualified. The director waved his rough hand, opened his throat and said: "The most important thing in this scene is its artistic appeal." So Yunkang, your eyes must be in place. When you are assassinated by someone you trust most, your gaze should show a repressive tension that is aesthetically known as dancing in shackles. You think about it carefully, and then you go again. ”
"Got it, director. Yunkang replied in a tired voice.
Two days ago, I just walked away from the ghost gate, not only with injuries on my body, but also from the venom of the witch locust, and my state is very bad.
Fortunately, everyone else was safe, Ge Fengdu escaped death, Shen Duo and Yan Fucha were fine, even Xing Hao escaped alive, and Yunkang also sighed that this kid was so lucky.
Unfortunately, the task force members next to Xing Hao were gnawed half of their bodies by the giant witch locusts and died in the pool. The task force's helicopter sent them to the filming location, and Yun Kang still can't remember how he escaped.
He had fainted to death at the bottom of the pool, and the boulder walls around the bottom of the pool weighed several tons, how did he escape through the stone walls and follow the flowing water to the outside of the valley?
It was a bit strange, but unfortunately the others didn't know anything about it, and according to Yan Fucha, they found him in a shallow stream, lying on a stone in the water, snoring and sleeping soundly.
"I don't want to do that, hurry up and take the role down. Yun Kang shook his dizzy head, barely came back to his senses, and refocused on the performance.
What the director said made him a little uncertain, and that set of terms was unfathomable, making him feel unfathomable. What is suppressed tension? What is dancing in shackles? Does playing a fairy character have anything to do with dancing?
But after all, he has a smart brain and knows how to make analogies, and what the director said, according to his understanding of his daily cultivation, is like playing a thunder trick in front of the public, but he can't make a little noise, what should he do?
Therefore, secretly Yun Dantian True Qi controls the momentum of Lei Jue, as long as the emotions are tight, he will not let it go. When the true qi of the dantian is suppressed just right, Lei Jue can exert the maximum limit, not only quietly, but also can produce shocking power, which is probably what the director said has both artistic appeal and aesthetic effect.
He pondered carefully for a while, thinking about the meaning of Bacheng, then took a deep breath and said, "I understand the director, let's try again." ”
The camera went again, and the director stared at it for a while, nodded approvingly: "Yes, Yunkang is very perceptive, and this time he behaved very well." ”
The staff next to him all smiled, director Zhou Gongxiang was born in a professional class, has many excellent works, and is well-known in the film industry. He strives for excellence in the film industry and is also a well-known picky king in the circle.
Xingyi Company's Gu Dali's fame is only in the advertising and television industry, and when it comes to his status as a director in the film industry, Zhou Gongxiang is undoubtedly the number one leader.
Yunkang has just become popular, and he has only mixed a chimpanzee role in a Xianxia commercial, this time he is on the big screen for the first time, and his performance is still very young, he can make the director nod and be satisfied, which is really not easy.
Although the name of this Baxian Town is called Town, it is actually a big village, and the villagers have never seen the scene of the movie, so they all ran over to see the actors' glasses, and they gathered around in groups of three or five, laughing and laughing.
"Oh, that tightrope hoisting is so handsome. ”
"What's his name, it seems that a recent advertisement is quite popular, cloud or something......"
"People are called Yunkang, a popular new star Xiao Xianrou. ”
"This small and long-looking, with a nose and eyes, two plugs, cow babies, and little fat donkey eggs are all added together, and they can't catch up with him. ”
"If you don't say how can people become stars, your dog is going to grow like this, and he can also enter the camera. ”
"What's in the camera, that's called being on camera, do you understand, don't fool around if you don't understand. ”
"You see, the one next to Yunkang is quite familiar, and I often see him on TV. ”
"Who's that, nicknamed the Righteous Hero, a very old pretending young man, looking at his old thick waist, he can't hang the tightrope. ”
"That's it, it's almost forty, and a layer of powder on your face can't cover those folds. There is a saying that the old cucumber is painted green - pretending to be tender!"
Jiang Jin, who was dressed in white and ancient costume, almost fainted when he heard this, damn it, Lao Tzu is only in his early thirties, where did he get his face of folds?
He glanced at Yun Kang, his gaze was fixed, if this kid was determined to compete with him for the leading role, don't blame him for playing tricks behind his back.
"Finish the work, wait until tomorrow after watching the lenses, set the cast, and then prepare for the official filming. Everyone has worked hard, so let's rest early. The director greeted him, and the staff on the set shouted one after another: "The director is also hard." ”
The crew had hundreds of people, came to Baxian Town for a week, set up a few outdoor scenes, and then carried equipment, set up camera positions, and made up actors' costumes, props, and makeup, all of which were not yet ready.
The two competitors of the actor Lu Dongbin are Yun Kang and Jiang Jin, one is the latest popular advertising Xiao Xianrou, and the other is a martial arts star with many years of shooting experience. "The Eight Immortals" is the theme of classical Xianxia, and the producers required the scene to be realistic, not only to shoot the sense of reality, but also to shoot the aesthetic and dreamy sense of Xianxia.
Several forces in the crew are surging, and everyone feels a lot of pressure, especially the choice of the male protagonist, whether to choose Yunkang or Jiang Jin, it depends on the outcome of the game between the two sides.
The sky was dark, the cool breeze was blowing the leaves, the staff were packing up the shooting equipment, and Zhou Gongxiang was sitting on the edge of the tent, studying the budget with several assistant directors of the crew.
At this time, Jiang Jin came out of the tent, he was burly, wearing a white trial costume, shaking his arms and coming to Zhou Gongxiang, and said, "Director, I have something to discuss with you." He is a powerful star who has been famous for a long time, and fans gave him the nickname "Righteous Hero", and he is the best at portraying the righteous knights in costume dramas.
He came to the director at this time because he couldn't get used to Yunkang and couldn't help but want to make a secret trip. That kid didn't say anything about coming to the crew two days late, and he looked sick, what was like Lu Dongbin? Let him play a supporting actor Han Xiangzi has already given face, and he plans to compete for the leading actor, he is whimsical.
Jiang Jin has cooperated with Zhou Gongxiang many times and is already very familiar with him, so he played the card of personal feelings, and strongly suggested that the director change the play, delete Yunkang's scenes if he can, and show his face less if he can't, and let him play a Han Xiangzi with no obvious characteristics, and this role is best to live only in legends.
Zhou Gongxiang's eyelids lifted upward, and his face twitched twice, feeling a little embarrassed.
He knows Yunkang's background very well, and the two major companies of Xingyi and Xuanqing strongly recommend it, which must be on top. And Jiang Jin is not easy to deal with, although the past few years have been tepid, but recently climbed to the big backer of Qianshan Pictures, and now he is a star in the film industry, and he is also the candidate for the next actor, which can be described as unlimited appreciation.
After all, Zhou Gongxiang is an experienced and famous director, and he has been standing tall in the film industry for so many years, how can he not understand the sleek rules? It is not the first time that he has encountered the matter of celebrities competing for roles, and he has long been ready to deal with it.
"Jiang Jin, the role of Lu Dongbin, I have seen the mirrors of you and Yunkang, and the performances have their own merits, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. But for the sake of the overall effect of the film, we have to watch all the actors' glasses, and then consider the candidate of Lu Dongbin, and this role cannot be concluded for the time being. Zhou Gongxiang said very sincerely, the smile on his face was harmless.
Judging from the effect of the mirror, Zhou Gongxiang prefers Yunkang to play Lu Dongbin, Yunkang has a gentle appearance, a pleasing appearance, and is meticulous in filming, very serious and hardworking, and is a plastic talent.
And Yunkang's ancient style picture is gorgeous and amazing, just now when I auditioned, I turned around decisively, Tsing Yi left in a chic manner, and the aesthetic effect of Xianxia blown out by a blower was beautiful to the extent of reaching the peak, and it felt like a famous poem: wave your sleeves and don't take away a cloud.
According to Zhou Gongxiang's words, Yun Kang is very deep in the play, and he is full of fairy spirit on the camera, and he is the best choice for the leading role of classical Xianxia.
It is because of this evaluation that Jiang Jin is jealous, he has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, and has been taking the route of costume martial arts, the first time he acted in a fairy blockbuster, he met an opponent with fairy spirit, how can he not be nervous?
