238 Changing the play
The shooting of large-scale action scenes is mostly broken down into very scattered shots, and then the post-production staff selects the best quality footage from a large number of shots.
An actor like Chi Chi who has strong action skills can often provide a large number of high-quality shots, and for her, the part that requires her the most from these small shots is to be able to coherently express the emotions of the characters.
In response to this, Director Duran will give her several storyboards and actions at a time when filming snake alone, so that she can shoot a series of shots in a row, instead of breaking down one action after another like others.
In other words, compared with other actors, Chi Chi's action scenes took much longer to shoot.
Not many people knew about it, including Florance's aunt, Lady Galliano.
"I've spoken to the producer before, and he said he's going to convince Director Duran to let you and Chi work together a little bit more, Chi's action scenes are great, the scene with Heloise is brilliant, you have to take the opportunity and make yourself a little nightingale dancing with poisonous snakes."
That's what Ms. Galliano said to her niece.
Florence became famous when she was eight years old, as a girl who lost her parents in a movie. In ten years, Ms. Galliano has turned her into one of the most famous child stars, and now she is going to help her move towards the position of a first-line actress. The agent is truly credited with such an achievement, and naturally, her influence on Florence is extraordinary.
The girl who was putting on makeup didn't speak, she looked at herself in the mirror with those beautiful brown eyes, but thought of another pair of eyes.
When he wasn't acting, his eyes seemed to be brown, he was always smiling, he was always polite, and there was nothing annoying in his eyes, whether it was in the face of provocation or difficulty.
It's just that once you put on the black contact lenses, those eyes look so cold and terrifying, too dark and too deep, as if you can go directly to hell, where it is cold for ten thousand years, and only a lonely snake winds and entrenches in it.
In addition to those eyes, Florance often thinks of that cold hand these days...... Maybe it's cold, maybe it's not, maybe it's just her illusion, because in her eyes Snake is a snake, she has no human emotion, she is always cold to the point of being terrible, so her body must be cold, and it should be completely human's body temperature.
Before that solo scene, Florence was a little afraid of the shape of the snake, whether it was the twelve-centimeter high heels, the black chains, or the tattoos on the whole arm, she would not feel anything when they were placed in front of her alone, but when they were branded as snakes, it made her feel a fear of facing predators.
Nightingales and snakes are natural predators.
She and the actor from another country are also natural enemies.
They were just as young and as promising, but Florence herself was playing the role of her daughter a year ago, a girl who had become one of the most famous film actors in her home country and had embarked on a path that had been difficult for others to find her place in the international market.
This is difficult, in the era when Western culture has swept the world, in the film industry where Europeans and Americans have an innate advantage, but when she came, Florance could only follow her to pick up roles.
The nightingale is her turn if she doesn't want it.
This alone is enough for Florence to regard Chi Chi as a thorn in her side.
She hadn't learned Chinese, and probably wouldn't know the word nail in her eye, let alone the nail in her eye, so she ...... It means that one person sees another person in his eyes.
When the snake she feared, the person she hated, looked at her with that kind of provocative gaze, even though she knew that it was just a show, she was deeply intoxicated, it was a hand on her mouth, more like a cover on her heart, making her face red at the sight of snake.
This feeling is amazing, Florence is not a person without emotional experience, after all, she is in a country with open feelings, and in a circle where love and love can also make money. But she had never encountered such a pure attraction.
She felt shy when she saw Snake for three days in a row, and on the fourth day she told her aunt about it, and Ms. Galliano immediately gave her a sexual orientation test, and let her watch some videos of Chi Chi, including some of her attendance at events, as well as some of her films.
Looking at those things, although she still felt that Chi Chi was charming, Florance didn't feel like she was facing snake, which made her aunt feel a lot more relieved.
"Whether it's an exotic relationship or a homosexuality, I have a way to deal with it, and exotic homosexuality...... God, it's still very difficult. You're not, that's best. โ
A relieved Ms. Galliano attributes Floranse's wondrous affection to her innocuous fascination with a character that fades over time and does not affect her future development.
When Chi Chi's agent found her to remind her, she was not only more relieved, but even thought of further cooperation.
"At least underneath the serpent's exterior is a fairly kind heart, Floranse, so that I don't have to worry about her using this character to deliberately hurt you when she finds out."
A partner with a bottom line is something that Ms. Galliano admires, and she doesn't think that the other party actually wants this kind of cooperation at all, even if it is beneficial to the other party.
There's a latent emotion between the nightingale and the viper, which is enough to make both characters even more eye-catching and special.
The benefits of this particular can be enormous.
"Here, the viper turns over first, and according to the script, the nightingale thinks she has been abandoned, and then the viper turns and reaches out to help her."
"Didn't the poisonous snake go up and leave directly? The nightingale should have climbed up on its own. โ
When the action director and director were lecturing, Chi Chi found that his script had been changed.
Director Duran shook his head: "I thought about it carefully, so that the nightingale's complex feelings for the poisonous snake are more reasonable and abundant, and although the poisonous snake is very cold, she is also a very ......"
Gentleman?
If this word were applied to a poisonous snake, Director Duran himself would find it scary.
He struggled for a long time and actually spat out a Chinese idiom: "Pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." โ
Although the director pronounced pity into his face, and the word pity was a depraving tone, Chi Chi still understood what he wanted to express.
Is the poisonous snake related to the pity of the jade? She killed about the same number of men and women, right?
"After all, the nightingale is supposed to be different."
Wait a minute? Why should the role of the nightingale be "different"?
Seeing the questioning expression on Snake's face, Florance wanted to laugh, but now that it was a serious plot discussion, she still had to stick to her professional ethics.
"I want to find some antecedent for the scene where the viper and the nightingale are in the toilet, the nightingale should be the kind of girl that the viper likes very much, very simple, very innocent, and can read a lot of very special things in their heads, isn't it?"
"I thought the viper was in the toilet on a whim, she did it by nature."
Ji Chi insisted on her own interpretation of the script and the characters she played, and she did not think such changes were necessary.
"Hmm...... What you say makes sense, then you think that I am a director by nature...... She must be a little interesting to Nightingale. โ
Basile Durรกn thought that she should understand Chi Chi's persuasion before, but she didn't expect the other party to be so stubborn, but no matter how stubborn she was, she was just an actor.
On the set, it has always been the director's decision.
At least in front of these actors, he doesn't think he has to listen to anyone's ideas.
Hearing the director say this, Chi Chi knew very well that there was no room for him to refuse the modification of this scene.
"I remember that the nightingale was emotional? And that righteous policeman? โ
Director Duran left, and Chi Chi asked Florans like this.
After reading the first version of the complete script of the Nightingale, she knew very well what kind of character the Nightingale was.
"Didn't you think that the complex emotional thread of the nightingale would make her look even more vulnerable? I think you like the character Nightingale because you like her growth. โ
Rescued by the police and rescued by poisonous snakes, she just wants to make herself more vulnerable in a mutated superhero movie, and Chi Chi doesn't understand what this little girl is thinking.
Of course, she doesn't understand why this little girl thinks that her current entry into the drama is a kind of "capital" that can be used.
This is the first time that Chi Chi and Florence have had a conversation outside the play without any aggression, and it has always been Florance who provoked before, and Chi Chi avoided the important and trivialized, holding back the other party's careful thoughts.
Florence looked at Chi Chi, she couldn't help but peek when Chi Chi listened to the director's talk with a cold face just now, because it was a snake, and now, she could clearly realize that this person was Chi Chi, the guy from the East, a little older than her but looking much more mature than her, who made people feel dull and boring, but had a lot of ideas and energy when acting.
"How to show the growth of the character is my business, you and I are both actors, you don't have to worry about me."
Seeing that Snake's brow furrowed slightly, Floranse's heart welled up with displeasure.
Why let such a nosy person play her snake?!
Florance was like a nervous hedgehog when facing Chi Chi, and it didn't take any logic to erect a thorn.
Florans's words made Chi Chi's expression relax.
Yes, she's just a collaborator.
"Then I can only wish you what you want, Miss Love."
After speaking, Chi Chi chuckled, and then turned around to prepare for her own play, and after a while, she had to climb up from the four-meter-high ruins and half-mid-waist, and then pull the nightingale up, of course, she had to wear her own twelve-centimeter high heels the whole time.
At the filming set, Ji Chi's action double and action director have been rehearsed several times before and after, making sure that this scene will not destroy actor Jin Gui's ankle.
"Look for where you're going to step and be careful not to get hurt."
"I know."
Smiling at the martial arts instructor, the young woman standing in the green shed with a protective belt already looked indifferent.
In the movie, the ruins of this reinforced concrete structure are the crumbling rooftops of a building that has been blown up.
The Viper and the Nightingale not only have to climb up, but also get out of here before the rooftop falls, which is also destined for the post-production special effects of this scene to be very valuable.
The scene where Snake climbed up alone was filmed very neatly, and her last one-handed turning action on the ground was so beautiful that even the martial arts instructor couldn't help but applaud.
Next, there is the scene that was temporarily modified.
Heloise grasped the edge of a cement slab in one hand, barely ten centimeters off the ground.
The nightingale, with a name that can fly, is afraid of heights, after all, she does not have a pair of wings that can fly.
So her eyes were full of panic at this time.
The poisonous snake that had climbed up wanted to go, and she could see it, but if the poisonous snake left, it would die, right?
The nightingale has always been afraid of poisonous snakes, and the other party always gives her a sense of danger, and when she sees poisonous snakes, it is like a timid bird that sees a big python that wants to devour itself.
Can she ask for help?
Will the other party save themselves? Or just smash the cement slab she was holding onto?
Biting her lip, Nightingale's eyes were already red, her face was flushed from overexertion, and the hand that supported her weight was bleeding.
Just when she was desperate, the viper turned around and crouched down to look at her.
The reptilian eyes stared at the little bird, which was about to die.
No one knows what Snake is thinking at this time, the people in the play don't know, and neither does the director who watched them shoot, but her expression at this time is really impressive.
What does a snake think when it looks at a flower blooming?
What do you think when you watch a delicate blade of grass emerge from the ground in the spring rain?
They don't think about anything, because they don't know what beauty is, and the purpose of their existence is only to survive, to hunt food, to protect themselves, to give birth to offspring......
However, if one day, a snake sees a flower or a cloud, and it stops, then the look is what the snake looks like now, and the visitors know that she should have no purpose, but they think that it really has an independent soul of its own.
The next moment, the snake was prostrate on the ground, her legs unusually flexible coiled around an iron pillar, and her body leaned down in the direction of the nightingale.
The length of the chain, combined with half of her body, was enough for the nightingale to grasp the lower end of the chain.
Nightingale looked at the chains with some surprise, and the tearful eyes followed the chains to Snake's face.
This was probably the first time she had looked directly into the other person's face.
Snake didn't speak, her cold eyes making it impossible to see what she was thinking.
Grit your teeth and be ruthless, it will never be worse than now.
The nightingale finally grabbed the chains, and her body fell down, and she was firmly held by the snake.
The guy who saved people in a difficult posture grabbed the chain with his hands, on the one hand, to save people, and on the other hand, to prevent himself from being strangled to death.
What follows is a series of panel shots, in which the nightingale is dragged up little by little, and her foot finally steps on where the snake has stepped on, and the snake supports the weight of an adult with the strength of her waist and legs, and her slender waist forms an arc full of strength and beauty with her movements.
Floranse, who had already finished her own part of the shooting, looked at the shooting scene and silently covered her hot face.
There was a close-up scene just now, which was to shoot her expression looking at snake, the other party was just struggling with a cold face, but she was blushing, her heart was beating, and her eyes were full of small pink bubbles.
If she had behaved like this in her past relationships, she would have felt like a fool, and now she looked at Snake and felt that it didn't matter how stupid she was, and it was a great feeling to be saved like this.
"We need trauma medicine, Chi is injured."
Suddenly there was a shout from the filming set.
After Chi Chi finished filming the whole scene, the staff who went to help her untie the safety equipment on her body found that she was not standing in the right position, and people found that her ankle was worn out.
Hearing "Chi is hurt" Florence didn't react at first, only to see a group of black-haired assistants immediately rush into the filming set, and at the same time, the snake she was thinking about was being supported by the staff.
"It's just a small injury." Chi Chi smiled and shook her head, the whole person was hanging upside down and still using her legs to cross the pillar, and the sensation on her legs was not very acute after a while, and she only felt uncomfortable, and she didn't realize that she would be injured.
"It's not a minor injury, it's an accident."
Yu Yuan, who rushed to the fake ruins first, said loudly in English.
She held Chi Chi, for fear that the people who came up would squeeze Chi Chi out of this small place.
"Don't come up yet, all of you stand back, and let her go down."
Under Yu Yuan's reminder, Chi Chi's assistants immediately retreated, and also stopped others who wanted to go up, including Florance, who was a step slower.
Back in the dressing room, she took off her leather pants on her legs, and then pulled up her cotton leggings, and several assistants gasped.
There were abrasions on the instep and ankle of one foot, the ankle was more severe, there was obvious bleeding, and there were several bloody marks on the instep. In addition, there were several bruises on her two calves, Chi Chi's legs and feet were very white, and the bruises now looked light, which was already quite shocking.
"I said, it's a minor injury."
Seeing everyone's serious faces, Chi Chi was probably the only one who could still smile.
"As I said, this is an accident, no matter how light or serious your injuries are, if it weren't for a temporary change of script, you wouldn't have challenged to do this action for a long time."
Chi Chi's legs and waist are slender and have a sense of strength, Director Duran, like many directors Chi Chi has worked with before, is willing to give her more close-ups of her limbs, intentionally or unintentionally, and the martial arts prepared for her by the crew can complete some long-range fighting actions for her, but she is not competent for the replacement of these close-up actions, and the stand-ins are really not as good as Chi Chi himself in these actions.
It was more than ten or twenty minutes just after Chi Chi hung on it, Yu Yuan was very worried when he watched it below, and while worried, he slandered Florance and the director, if it wasn't for them wanting to play a play, Chi Chi wouldn't have to suffer such a big crime at all.
Now that Chi Chi is injured, she is distressed on the one hand, and she wants to vent her dissatisfaction in her heart, of course, the object of venting is not Chi Chi.
"Are you alright?"
The first person who vented took the initiative to walk into the dressing room, and she didn't even know the extent of Chi Chi's injuries with the doctor who gave Chi Chi the medicine and a few assistants who gave Chi Chi.
"It's a good thing." Yu Yuan whispered a word in Chinese, and was pinched fiercely by Chen Fang on her waist.
The girl sitting on the chair smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, it's inevitable to get injured while filming." โ
In a blasting scene the other day, Hannah, who played the peacock, also got her hand scratched by the splashed rubble.
Looking at the face that belonged to the snake was a very gentle and tolerant expression, Florence was a little dazed.
She'd seen the injured snake before, just in the duel between the poisonous snake and the mad lion ten days ago.
The blood made her gaze more fierce, even if she was beaten into a half-crippled, the momentum on her body was not weakened in the slightest, and every detail of her body showed that she would never admit defeat, nor would she fail, but could only be completely eliminated.
But the price to pay to destroy such a snake is unbearable.
Of course, this face was different then than it is now, and Florence suddenly didn't know how to face it.
Say sorry? If it weren't for the temporary change of play, Chi wouldn't have been hurt?
Or do you care about her?
She didn't want to apologize, and she didn't know how to care, so she could only stand aside and watch the doctor who helped Chi Chi with medicine go out and tell others about Chi Chi's injury.
I heard that Chi Chi's injury is really not a big problem, Basille Duran also breathed a sigh of relief, just now he also regretted a little, according to the original script filming he does not have to bear the risk of an actor may have problems and cause the progress to be delayed, so that Chi Chi is injured is definitely a scene he does not want to see at all.
Chi Chi is still the first level in her life to be surrounded by so many people to watch her two legs, it's okay to look elsewhere, she is a little uncomfortable or uneasy to be looked at her legs, so she has nothing to say, hoping to divert the attention of her assistant.
"I'm glad I got an extra pair of pants today, aren't you? I think I'm lucky that I didn't wear much pants the day before yesterday or yesterday. โ
Wearing an extra pair of pants doesn't keep you from getting hurt, what's the point of pride?
Yu Yuan and Chen Fang both looked at her with disapproving eyes.
"You say I'm injured now, can I take some good supplements?" Chi Chi suddenly thought of his own ration problem, since he had such a little "slight illness" on his body, maybe he could reward himself with a meal of dumplings? Skinny? The last time she saw off Feng Shuo, she could only eat beef meatballs without skin, which made her haunted her.
The more relaxed Chi Chi was, the darker Yu Yuan and Chen Fang's faces became, especially Yu Yuan, she especially couldn't see Chi Chi's appearance of not taking her body seriously.
"Beef, chicken, and eggs are all good things, rich in protein to help wound healing."
Crash! Assistant Yu used cold and ruthless words to extinguish the small spark in the shape of a dumpling skin in Chi Chi's heart.
"Oh." The girl froze for a second.
Hearing her two assistants discussing sending her to a private hospital for a check-up, Chi Chi raised his hand to tap on his two leg wounds.
"You see, it's really okay, people, it's inevitable to fall and fight for a lifetime, as long as you can still run and jump, that's luck, don't expect anything flawless."
Chi Daying, who was talking about the big truth, was tragically suppressed by the assistants.
Florence, who was standing by the door, looked at the man who was talking and laughing in Chinese, thinking about snake, or not. 166 Reading Network
