Chapter 11: The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss
Chen Yongren and the others returned to the place where they stayed, which was also the residence of the crew, Ling Haoran gave an unclear order to the accompanying assistant to inform all the crew members to have a meeting at six o'clock in the afternoon, and then went back to the room to rest, Huang Guozhu and Li Kangnian were the same; Returning to the room with Lu Feng to take care of Jiang Sheng and throwing him on the bed, Chen Yongren smiled and said, "Brother Feng, when I left the room, I still saw you toasting together?" Why is it that everyone else is drinking high, but you look fine? ”。
Lu Feng smiled proudly: "First of all, of course, I don't get drunk with a thousand glasses of wine." ”。
Chen Yongren blinked and said, "First of all? Is there a second? ”。
"Smart ......" Lu Feng snapped his fingers and continued: "Secondly, you look at ......."
Chen Yongren looked intently, only to see Lu Feng open a water cup on the table, pour it full of tea, wipe it with his right hand, and then open the cup It was already clean, and the water was not there; Chen Yongren's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Magic? ”。
Lu Feng shook his head and said: "It's a trick, this trick is called 'Ming Xiu Plank Road, Secretly Crossing Chen Cang', which is a little different from magic!" ”。
"Secretly crossing Chen Cang?".
"Look......" Lu Feng took out a wet towel from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Yongren.
"No wonder he was able to be the martial arts instructor of the mythological drama "The Legend of the New White Lady" later, it turned out that he had such a unique skill!" Chen Yongren thought secretly in his heart, and then asked with expectant eyes, "Brother Feng, can you teach me this unique job?" ”。
"If you want to learn, I must teach, but if you think clearly, there is a rule for learning my skills." Lufeng is very strict.
"What rules?" Chen Yongren said strangely.
"Origin, origin, and continuation, you have to swear, you must learn from me, and you must find someone to pass it on, until the church, otherwise it will be disrespectful to this stunt and the ancestor, and your conscience will not be at peace for the rest of your life, are you willing?"
Chen Yongren pondered for a while and suddenly asked, "How long does it usually take to learn this?" ”。
Lu Feng nodded and smiled: "Smart question, I have been studying every day since I started, and I have studied for a total of seven years, and the master said that the highest record he knows is two years!" ”。
"Ahh Isn't that ...... Myself, plus my future disciples, will waste four years at the earliest! Chen Yongren exclaimed with a sad face.
"Stinky boy, how do you talk? What is a waste of time? Is this a serious learning skill? Most people don't have a chance to learn if they want to! Lu Feng scolded with a smile.
"Forget it, I don't have that patience......" Chen Yongren wouldn't take so long to learn this kind of chicken rib ability, he complained in his heart: "Really! There are so many rules to learn something, no wonder the ancestors are absolutely capable! ”; He doesn't want to think about his own mentality, even if he learns it himself, he may not necessarily find a successor, so don't look at the problem subjectively and one-sidedly, sometimes the problem lies with himself.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, everyone had dinner and gathered in the temporary conference room, Chen Yongren was not familiar with anyone except Jiang Sheng and Lu Feng, and he was not interested in being familiar with it, the reason why he was willing to stay in the 'long river' where film thinking was backward was because all he needed was practical experience in film shooting, and he did not expect to get any other unexpected surprises.
Ling Haoran first said some scenes and left first, and then the producer Ling Jinghuan, who had never met in the morning, assigned the work functions of the entire crew, director Huang Guozhu, cinematographer Wu Guoxiao, etc., Chen Yongren's identity is a scene assistant and everyone is very bored when they hear that there is a scene assistant , in fact, this movie belongs to a small production zuò, one scene note is enough, and there is no need for a scene assistant at all, but Chen Yongren has never been in contact with movies, in order to avoid mistakes, Jiang Sheng can only make such arrangements. And there will be no name for him after the movie comes out, and He Min, the main scene manager of the crew, is also very happy to have someone to share his work; After assigning everyone's work, Ling Jinghuan instructed everyone to rest early, and announce the dismissal of the meeting when they were ready to start tomorrow morning.
Chen Yongren lived in the same room with He Min, He Min was full of joy when he thought that someone was sharing his work, but he learned that Chen Yongren had just entered this trip, and he didn't know anything, and saw that he was close to Jiang Sheng and Lu Feng, thinking that it was arranged by the above to eat, and he was suddenly depressed, and he also ignored it, Chen Yongren observed his words and looks, guessed what he was thinking, and he said: "Brother He, don't worry, although I have just entered the industry, but I am really here to do things, in the future, in the crew, you can call me, It's just that I'm new to the city after all, and I don't understand a lot of places, so if there's anything wrong, please give me a lot of advice. He said something sincerely, He Min was a little embarrassed, but he was also enthusiastic about it, Chen Yongren asked many questions, and he patiently solved the questions for him.
Early the next morning, the crew had breakfast together, brought various equipment and props, and rode to the suburban studio, which was a former state-run studio, with various styles of buildings and streets of different dynasties; Before the start-up, the first thing to do is to carry out the worship ceremony that is prevalent in Hong Kong and Taiwan at this time, Chen Yongren and other staff put out the incense table, roast pig, fruit and various offerings are ready, Ling Jinghuan led everyone to bow three times, Chen Yongren also felt novel, he was a child in the village every festival, the whole family will worship God, in his heart why worship God or which god to worship is no difference, there is no feeling, just a form. As for those inexplicable times in the filming process, he does not dare to agree, life is like this, there is always a smooth sailing, there are always rough and bumpy roads, ups and downs are normal, although he does not object to the theory of ghosts and gods in his heart, but he has another understanding of it, and does not believe in the traditional sense of "there are gods in the head, and a hundred ghosts walk the way of the world at night".
At the end of the ceremony, the meaning of the first scene was heavy, so He Min personally went to work, and Chen Yongren followed to learn; The first scene is in a closed studio to shoot the Beihai Twin Immortals played by Jiang Sheng and Lu Feng, Ling Jinghuan sits in the "supreme seat", Huang Guozhu sits next to him, the former has high morale and announces the start-up, He Min personally played the slate in front of the camera, and the crew officially operated; Jiang Sheng and Lu Feng began to fight each other clumsily, yes, in the eyes of Mr. Chen Yongren, who doesn't understand martial arts, their performances are very clumsy, I have seen kung fu movies like "Huang Feihong" and "Drunken Fist 2", and I have also watched martial arts films like "New Dragon Gate Inn" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated", I really can't appreciate such action scenes, but he is just a nobody now, so he is naturally not qualified to say anything; Jiang Sheng and Lu Feng are also martial arts instructors, and the two have rich performance experience, and the first scene was passed, and everyone cheered in unison.
Then Ling Jinghuan said hello to Huang Guozhu and Jiang Sheng and left the set, this producer is just a pseudonym, starting from the second scene, Chen Yongren began to take over some simple work from He Min, after getting acquainted, the workload gradually increased, and today's Hong Kong and Taiwan film practitioners are working hard from actors to directors, on the first day, he was half tired to death, and returned to his residence to fall asleep.
But starting the next day, Chen Yongren is like a different person, working like a desperate person, he is everywhere in the crew, he took over all the work of He Min, the latter was transferred to the drama team not long after, but he still has the position of scene reporter, Chen Yongren strives to be familiar with every corner of the crew, meticulous, and when he has a little leisure, he holds a book about photography skills and asks Wu Guoxiao, the photographer in the crew, for advice, and insists on taking notes after work every day, he is crazy to absorb a qiē film-related knowledge; Occasionally, something went wrong with the crew, and he was scolded by Huang Guozhu several times, but he didn't care, if he had it, he changed it, and he was ashamed to ask, and others were surprised to see him in such a situation, Jiang Sheng and Lu Feng were also surprised by Chen Yongren's changes before and after, everyone saw him so pragmatic, and he was able to teach, and rarely refused, Chen Yongren spent half a month in Taiwan like this......
