Chapter 130. Remake of "Dugu Nine Swords"
In the dressing room, it took almost twenty minutes for Chen Xiaotang to completely remove his makeup.
As an actor, he is light without makeup, and when Chen Xiaotang walks out of the dressing room, his first action is to stretch his arms and take a deep breath.
At this time, the previous set had been thickly surrounded by the audience, and the assistant director of the crew kept holding the loudspeaker to let the audience go away as much as possible to give the camera a better camera space.
Chen Xiaotang shook his head, this is a typical "curiosity", everyone thinks acting is quite interesting and fun, but they don't know how hard and tiring filming is. As the saying goes, one minute on stage, ten years off stage. In fact, filming is the same, don't look at the actors acting quite chic in the camera, in fact, in private, they either read the script and the lines, or bend down to practice their skills. Especially when filming action scenes, it is even more dumb to eat Coptis chinensis, and I know that I am suffering. The most representative character here is the treasure of today's wireless town - Zheng Shaoqiu.
For an artist, there must be a reason why his acting career can last for a long time, and Zheng Shaoqiu is one of the leaders. was injured during filming, but he still insisted on going into battle with the injury and refused to use a stand-in; In order to make the clothes and belts flow flexibly and elegantly in costume dramas, he can continue to practice in front of the mirror for half a year; In order to play the character's demeanor, he can recite lines late at night to find feelings. Take the upcoming "TVB Carnival Charity Gala" as an example, in order to perform the dance "Drunken Sword" on stage, he is even apprenticed to a famous artist in Liyuan, studying and practicing hard, for three hours a day, and not even enough time to sleep...... Just when Chen Xiaotang was thinking, a few young girls who came to play next to him walked quickly past Chen Xiaotang, and one of them said: "Squeeze in, I heard that the next group of dramas Mao Shunyun will appear, oh, and the other girls are all screaming, and they all said: "Ah, really?" ”
Some people even sighed: "Alas, I forgot to bring my camera, remember to help me take a few more photos!" ”
Mao Shunyun? Chen Xiaotang immediately appeared in his mind the image of a soft-looking woman, to be honest, during this time of filming, Chen Xiaotang really never saw Mao Shunyun, everyone filmed the same scene, but they never met, but the last time she met herself, she broke up unhappily, and it was also shallow.
It's just that Chen Xiaotang didn't expect Mao Shunyun's "fame" to be so big, but immediately Chen Xiaotang understood the reason why Mao Shunyun was famous.
The reason why Mao Shunjun has become famous recently is because her "love past" has been re-mentioned by the media magazine, and the reason for the re-mention is very simple, because the man who once loved her has been very popular recently, and he is the new superstar in the music industry - Zhang Guirong!
It is said that Mao Shunjun was lucky to enter Jiayi TV as soon as he entered the showbiz, and soon served as the heroine in "Dream of Red Mansions" as "Lin Daiyu", but Zhang Guirong was depressed at this time, and was deceived to shoot the tertiary film "Spring in Red Mansions", and it just so happened that he played "Jia Baoyu".
In 1978, they met, just like Sister Lin met Brother Bao for the first time, the two who were two years apart quickly developed from "screen couples" on TV to real boyfriend and girlfriend, and became a pair that everyone is optimistic about. As the ancient poem says, "When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win, and there are countless people in the world." ”
At that time, Mao Mao, who was new to the entertainment industry, was like a naughty girl who didn't know the height of the sky, lively and playful, and her boyfriend changed again and again. At that time, Zhang Guirong was not a big star "brother" that everyone could affectionately call in the mouths of later generations, a nobody, and he urgently needed the opportunity to prove himself. After moving to Li's (the predecessor of Asia Television) TV station, when he happened to pass by Maomao's radio program, Maomao in front of him made his eyes shine, and he fell in love at first sight, and was attracted by the round, somewhat childish fat girl in front of him.
The two were matched into an on-screen couple by Li's TV station and were welcomed by the audience. At first, Leslie (Zhang Guirong's English name) was quite resistant to this deliberately arranged pairing, but because the other party was Maomao, she gladly accepted it. once said: Li's pulled us together to promote, if it wasn't for the good, I didn't want to be used.
In an interview with the newspaper that year, Zhang Guirong said: "At first, Lidi made a promotional video for us, hand in hand, and so on, so I joked with Maomao, 'Shall I be your boyfriend?' She said, 'Yes,' and how direct! After filming, I thought she was very nice and cute, and she was very cooperative with me, so I invited her to the movies, so many times we worked together and then went to play together, I didn't tell her that I loved her very much, and she didn't tell me that she loved me very much. But I really like her, and I'm sure she likes mine too. ”
Both were very young at the time, and naturally after being together. Mao Mao's playful surname began to bother him, he wanted to stabilize and let this relationship last for a long time, so he took the upper route, soaked in Mao Mao's house every day, accompanied Mao Mao's father to sing the old man's favorite Kunqu Cantonese opera, and bought all kinds of delicious things for Mao Mao's younger brother...... Unfortunately, Maomao's boyfriend at that time was not only Leslie, but he was also in the rebellious period of youth, and he didn't think much of Leslie's "flattery". So when Leslie was full of confidence and confidently proposed to Mao Mao with a large bouquet of roses, she refused. The latter two did not get along with each other for a while, and for a while they were almost strangers.
During this period, the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang has undergone great changes, and Mao Shunjun is still the heroine on the TV station, but it is a pity that she is not popular; In contrast, Zhang Guirong finally went from a long-term depression to the embarrassing years when he even stood on the stage and threw his hat at the audience and was thrown back to the stage.
Not long ago, as the largest media in Xiangjiang, "Oriental Daily" exclusively interviewed the popular Zhang Guirong, Zhang Guirong faced the camera in the interview, and did not shy away from his love for Mao Shunyun, and admitted frankly that after he was rejected for marriage, he was deeply shocked and thought about suicide.
As soon as this report came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the entertainment industry, and everyone wanted to know what kind of person was the woman who was once so loved by Zhang Guirong? ! Especially those female fans who like Zhang Guirong, they are even more curious about women like Mao Shunyun, and many people have come to her to take photos recently, hoping to use her to get closer to and understand their favorite star Zhang Guirong.
Just when Chen Xiaotang was in a reverie, suddenly director Li Huimin shouted at him from a distance: "Ah Tang, come and help!" ”
Chen Xiaotang was puzzled, so he walked over.
Then Li Huimin pointed to Mao Shunyun, who was dressed in ancient costumes, and said: "She can't shoot this action scene, and it just so happens that Wu Zhi is not here, so it's better for you to teach her!" ”
"I'll teach her, won't I?" Chen Xiaotang waved his hand. "I've only been a dragon and tiger martial artist, not a martial artist."
"Hehe, don't be modest, I saw it when you were filming, you are very talented in action scenes...... Besides, the action scenes in this scene are not too complicated, you should be able to handle it. ”
Seeing that Li Huimin said this, Chen Xiaotang was still pushing back, and Mao Shunyun was a little impatient and said: "If you don't want to, forget it, I knew you were such a person!" ”
Chen Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay, I promise, lest someone say I'm stingy!" ”
Mao Shunjun knew that Chen Xiaotang was talking about himself, and his nose snorted coldly.
Next, director Li Huimin told Chen Xiaotang about the content of the script to be filmed, mainly what action scenes Mao Shunyun has. As he said, these action shots are indeed not difficult, but they are not as simple as he said.
In the interval between Li Huimin's narration, Chen Xiaotang quickly thought about what kind of action to design for Mao Shunyun.
Mao Shunyun is short in stature and slim in build. Like her, she is nothing more than using her fists and feet, which is the so-called "flower fist embroidered legs" to highlight the characters' kung fu, but Chen Xiaotang does not do this, he intends to design a set of "sword dance" action scenes for Mao Shunyun.
When Chen Xiaotang put forward his opinion, directors Li Huimin and Mao Shunjun themselves were stunned, you must know that "sword dance" is a taboo for many actresses, especially those who are short in stature. Everyone knows that the sword is generally three feet long, and girls don't want to say that it looks very troublesome and clumsy when they dance, and more importantly, it is easy to hurt themselves.
Seeing that Li Huimin and Mao Shunyun were full of doubts, especially Mao Shunyun, who wondered if Chen Xiaotang was deliberately embarrassing himself.
Chen Xiaotang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not talking nonsense, you'll understand in a while." ”
Next, Chen Xiaotang called the group of dragon and tiger martial artists who fought against Mao Shunyun in the play, and told them this and this, and everyone nodded frequently. Chen Xiaotang turned around and handed Mao Shunyun a few very simple "circles", "sweeps", "shake hands" and other nine sword postures.
These nine moves are basically not too difficult, as long as you have filmed martial arts scenes, you have done them, and they are also nicknamed the "Dugu Nine Swords" on the set, Mao Shunyun will follow him suspiciously.
It wasn't until Chen Xiaotang thought she was proficient that she turned around and said to director Li Huimin: "You can start filming." ”
At this time, Li Huimin was already at a loss for the second monk, and when he saw that Chen Xiaotang was so determined, he signaled the scene reporter to gather everyone together, take their places, and prepare for filming.
Seeing that the camera was about to be buried, Chen Xiaotang said to Li Huimin again: "No, this shooting can't be on the ground anymore, thank you for your hard work, Director Li, you can sit on the boom!" ”
"Ah, what?" Li Huimin's mouth opened wide.
