Chapter 215. Chen Xiaotang's version of "Blood Demon"

Time passed quickly, and before everyone had time to digest the food in their stomachs, Director Xu Ke was already holding a loudspeaker and shouting "all in place".

Lantau Island is one of the famous scenic spots in HK, where there are many rocks and rolling waves, and it is perfect to shoot Xianxia dramas in this environment.

The next scene is filmed after "Ding Yin" transforms into a "blood demon", which is also the highlight of the end of this play, of course, it is Chen Xiaotang's turn to play.

Before the filming began, the prop masters were setting up the set, first hanging a huge background painting behind a large area of rocks - a round of red and half-hanging in the sky, and then a "blood demon cave" built of plastic, in which red spotlights were placed, and as soon as they were turned on, the whole plastic was filled with blood-red light. Not far away, a simple "blow-off boat" is used to create the smell of a "blood pool", the blow-off boat is splashed red with paint, and some red ink is pounded inside, and then a bubble-spraying device is placed, and as soon as it is activated, the whole pool of water bubbles up like a hot spring.

Of course, in order to cover up these fake "sets", and to create an evil atmosphere, director Xu Ke also ordered people to release red "dry ice" on both sides, so as to form a bloody scene, strange rocks, blood pools rolling, and demon caves roaring.

Seeing that the scene has been arranged and the filming is about to start, director Xu Ke is still a little uneasy, after all, Chen Xiaotang has never shot a formal movie before - just a TV series actor, and he is afraid that he will mess up the filming work. So he found Chen Xiaotang and asked him how he remembered his lines, and what else did he not understand? Chen Xiaotang said that everything is clear, don't worry. Xu Ke still called Hong Jinbao and asked him to carefully tell Chen Xiaotang about the fight scene to be filmed later.

Hong Jinbao had a very good impression of Chen Xiaotang, so he patiently explained the action scenes to be filmed later.

In fact, Chen Xiaotang has a very deep kung fu foundation, but Hong Jinbao doesn't know it, he still treats him as an ordinary person, talks very seriously, and sometimes shows him comparisons, for fear that he won't understand.

Chen Xiaotang didn't break it, these designed actions were easy for him to do, but he listened very humbly, until Hong Jinbao asked him if he understood, he nodded and said he understood.

……… The set has been prepared, the actors' roles have been clarified, the prop master is in position, the camera operator is in position, the actor is in position - filming will start immediately.

This scene mainly tells the story of the two young men played by Yuan Biao and Meng Hai After obtaining the "Ziqing Double Sword", they flew to the "Blood Demon Cave" to kill the "Demon Fetus". And "Ding Yin" entered the demon path and turned into a blood demon, a big battle to stop them.

There is no rivalry in this, because in the final stage, the computer will synthesize the scenes of their fight, so the two actors Yuan Biao and Meng Hai did not come at all.

In other words, Chen Xiaotang's six-minute scene is basically played by one person, and he has to imagine that there is an enemy standing in front of him, how the enemy makes moves, how he dismantles his moves, and so on.

This kind of scene is the most important thing to do with the acting skills of the actors in the school, not only to achieve "realistic" movements, but also to "realistic" expressions.

The shooting is about to start, the camera has been focused, Chen Xiaotang is standing in the place where he needs to be buried for a while, Wei Ya is hanging from his waist, and several fierce dragon and tiger martial artists are slowly pulling him up.

Xu Ke commanded: "Release the smoke-!" ”

The red smoke spreads, the gaffer uses the dim light to create a dark and evil light, several prop masters are shaking the iron sheet in the back, playing the searchlight, creating a "thunderbolt lightning", the whole scene becomes a dark cloud and black pressure, the blood mist is filled, the blood pool in the thunderbolt lightning is tumbling, and the "demon fetus" in the blood demon cave is ready to move.

"Alright, everything is ready-" Director Xu Ke waved his hand, "Ike God!" ”

Chen Xiaotang's one-man "one-man show" officially began

The blood robe flew, Chen Xiaotang spun in the air and landed from the sky, one toe stepped on the sharp stone, covering half of his face with his long sleeves, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes.

Next to the blower increase the horsepower to blow the air.

The wind is whistling.

Chen Xiaotang's blood-red robe hunted in the strong wind.

"The righteous path is dead, the devil is prosperous, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die!" Chen Xiaotang said his first line.

Director Xu Ke helped him whisper his lines on the side.

"Ding Yin, you have fallen into the devil, don't be obsessed anymore!"

Chen Xiaotang waved his long sleeves, revealing his whole faceβ€”a pale and bevelous face, his eyes were blood-red, and his lips were purpleβ€”"Who is Ding Yin?" I'm a Blood Fiend!! He was furious.

The surrounding blood mist rippled, and it was very imposing.

"Yes, this expression is great!" Xu Ke exclaimed through the camera. "The blower is a little bigger, yes, good, try to get his clothes floating-"

"Now it's time to get the lines right - whoever you are, we're going to destroy the demon fetus in the Blood Demon Cave today!" Xu Ke read to the camera.

In the camera, Chen Xiaotang acted alone, but it seemed that there were two young men standing in front of him, with a sinister expression: "Destroy the demon fetus?" Is it just the two of you? Hahaha! "Laugh!

The expression is flamboyant, and the long hair is flying.

At this moment, Chen Xiaotang's performance was fascinating, and he almost portrayed the arrogance and violence of the "Blood Demon" very profoundly.

"This actor is good, he's good at acting!" Hong Jinbao, who was watching the camera next to him, praised.

"Yes, the expression is in place, and the acting is also very realistic!" Lin Qingxia said.

"I said a long time ago, he is a genius, and he may not be able to surpass us film and television brands in the future!" Zheng Shaoqiu said with a smile.

…….

The camera is still rustling.

The camera pushes Chen Xiaotang closer and gives him a close-up.

Xu Ke read the lines: "Eliminating demons and defending the Dao is the duty of our decent people, Blood Demon, you can just arrest it!" ”

The camera focused on Chen Xiaotang again.

I saw Chen Xiaotang raise his arms and two blood-red swords in his hands - God knows, how this prop is made, somewhat similar to the glow sticks in his previous life, Chen Xiaotang only felt light when he held it.

"You don't have to go any further, if not, I will kill the gods when I meet the gods, and kill the Buddhas when I meet the Buddhas!"

………

"Okay! These shots are very good, pause, and then it's time to start filming!" Xu Ke ordered.

Everyone started to scratch again.

The prop master was busy rearranging the props, and the one responsible for the blasting buried the smoke bombs and some small explosives according to the shooting position.

Taking advantage of this, Chen Xiaotang asked the people on the side for a bottle of mineral water, drank more than half of it in one go, and then wiped his mouth. At this time, Sister Fen, who is a makeup artist, stepped forward and took the initiative to touch up his lips, apply dark purple, and also touch up foundation on his cheeks.

When touching up her makeup, Sister Fen couldn't help asking, "How was it, the first day of filming?" ”

Chen Xiaotang smiled and said: "Everything is good, but this blower blows and hurts my eyes, and I always want to cry." ”

"Hehe, you're not alone, the most annoying thing for many people filming is the blower, which looks very handsome in the camera, but when acting, you suffer from it!" Sister Fen smiled and went down.

……

Xu Ke rearranged the shooting of the camera, and after about five or six minutes, he picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Everyone, pay attention, the shooting is about to start!" ”

There was another stir, and the cast and crew who were still in the middle of the set retreated to the side, leaving only Chen Xiaotang alone in a blood demon red robe, standing on the top of the mountain set up in the venue in a strange dress, if you have to use any words to describe him, then it is - full of evil spirit!

Xu Ke waved his hand, and the scene came out, holding the clapper and saying: "The sixty-fifth scene of "New Shu Mountain Swordsman", the seventh act - pop!" ”

"Ike God!" Shooting begins.

There is basically no line in this group of shots, they are all action scenes, requiring Chen Xiaotang to move in place, somersaults, etc., of course, these are relatively basic, and there are more difficult ones, such as hanging Weiya rotation, side rollover, etc. - Hong Jinbao, who was a martial arts instructor before, has told Chen Xiaotang the trick of doing this series of actions, but he is still worried that Chen Xiaotang can't do it, after all, this set of actions requires very agile skills, Hong Jinbao has already made up his mind, if Chen Xiaotang can't do it well, he will simplify this set of actions, Accommodating Chen Xiaotang can be successfully completed. But what surprised Hong Jinbao was that this set of actions was carried out in Chen Xiaotang and was done in one go.

No, heh, this kid is quite athletic!

If Hong Jinbao pays attention, he can find out that Chen Xiaotang does not simply have "sports cells", but extraordinary skills!

Inside the camera. Chen Xiaotang hung Weiya and glided between the real and fake "mountains" arranged - the posture is very similar to the "Superman" in Hollywood blockbusters. Wherever he flew, there was a bang, a series of smoke bombs exploded, and "rubble" flew sideways, and the whole scene was very terrifying.

In the last shot, Chen Xiaotang flew to a "mountain peak" and roared: "I will not perish!" ”

With a bang, flesh and blood splashed, and he was exposed to death!

Of course, it was a model dummy in a big red robe who blew himself up, and after Chen Xiaotang shouted that sentence, the camera instantly switched to the dummy, and the placed explosives detonated, blowing it into pieces!
