Chapter 288: Days in Hengdian (3)
Zhang Chengyuan chatted with Li Lianjie and others, and today's shooting began.
The first scene is the weapon fight scene between the silent monk and the god of war in Yujiang.
As soon as filming began, Zhang Chengyuan and Li Lianjie went back and forth to score extremely fiercely, and the speed was amazingly fast, far exceeding the speed of other actors when filming scenes, and much faster than the normal speed of the camera, which caught the photographer off guard, and had to ask the director to stop, and then discussed with the director to slow down the speed of the camera, so as to shoot a better effect.
Of course, with Zhang Chengyuan and Li Lianjie's fast and slow skills, if you want to play slower, you can naturally do it easily, and there is no need to adjust the speed of the camera. However, Li Lianjie and Zhang Chengyuan glanced at each other, and neither of them suggested to the director, "We don't need to change the number of rotations, we can also play a little slower", because they both felt that playing at the current speed would be smoother, faster, and more exciting.
After the speed of the camera was adjusted, the shooting continued, Li Lianjie and Zhang Chengyuan started the trick again, the speed was still very fast, so that the surrounding people were quite dazzled, and at the same time, everyone was also a little frightened, for fear that the two would make a mistake or cooperate improperly, and hit the opponent, although the weapons in their hands are props, and there is not much lethality, but if they hit the body of the person at this speed, they will definitely suffer a lot, and it is possible to accidentally touch the vulnerable parts and get a serious injury.
However, they did not know that with Zhang Chengyuan's precise control, their assumptions would never have happened. Because of this, Li Lianjie and Zhang Chengyuan played so boldly at this time.
At this time, in the eyes of Li Binbin and Liu Yifei, Li Lianjie is tough, agile, and has a great sense of strength and rhythm in every move, worthy of being the "Emperor of Kung Fu". And Zhang Chengyuan's tricks and the whole person give people an extremely domineering feeling, which is very suitable for his role in the film.
Before filming started, even if Zhang Chengyuan was wearing the costume of the Marshal of the Heavenly Court in the movie, his temperament was still light and light, giving people a very easy-going feeling, but as soon as filming started, his whole temperament quickly transformed into an emperor-like domineering, his eyes were high, despising the world, it seemed that everyone was as small as ants in his eyes, and his every move, even an expression and a walk, were cold and arrogant, incomparable.
And when fighting, this temperament is shown through his masculine and domineering martial arts tricks, which is even more imposing, making people only dare to look up, but dare not have the slightest disrespect.
Moreover, this domineering momentum does not seem to be carefully performed, but comes from the depths of Zhang Chengyuan's heart, as if Zhang Chengyuan was originally an immortal sitting high in the clouds and looking down on all beings, although Zhang Chengyuan's eyes at this time are looking at Jet Li or the camera lens, but everyone feels that his cold and indifferent eyes are looking at themselves, which makes them very cold.
Only Li Lianjie, who fought with him, maybe because he was immersed in performances and fights, or maybe because Zhang Chengyuan didn't send him the slightest momentum, so he who was closest to Zhang Chengyuan didn't feel anything unusual.
Liu Yifei muttered to himself: "Why didn't I find that Brother Zhang still had such a domineering side before, I'm afraid that Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are still like this!" ”
Li Binbin smiled: "This is acting, but it's not real!" Suddenly, the conversation changed and he sighed: "However, he is too real, not only is his appearance, his actions and demeanors very similar, but also his heart, temperament, and even momentum are not like words, I really can't see that his acting skills are so powerful!" It's just that when he filmed the scene where Sun Wukong made trouble in the sky last month, he didn't seem to have this kind of domineering? Well, it may be because there was still the Jade Emperor at the scene at that time, and according to the plot, he couldn't show this domineering! ”
Liu Yifei said: "I checked his situation on the Internet last night, and it is said that he was evaluated by some Korean media as the most outstanding young actor of the new generation, with the most masculine and handsome appearance, the most standard bodybuilding, the most outstanding temperament, the most powerful skills, and the most outstanding acting skills, known as the most perfect Korean young actor after Zhang Dongjian!" ”
Li Binbin said with a smile: "Which boring media said such good things about Cheng Yuan, it's too much!" It can't be that Cheng Yuan's agency bribed reporters to write it for him, right? But although it's too exaggerated, I have to say that Cheng Yuan is really good! ”
Buying reporters to brag about their artists is very common in the entertainment industry of any country, and it is no wonder that Li Binbin thinks so, because these media praise Zhang Chengyuan too much. However, if she knew that Zhang Chengyuan was the boss of his agency, she would not have said so, because she felt that Zhang Chengyuan would never be a person who likes to boast about himself. In her opinion, how could a person who hides almost everything like to brag about himself?
Liu Yifei said: "There are also some Korean media who say that he is arrogant and rude, ignores his predecessors, ignores fans, and only wants to make money. Some people also say that he is amorous by nature, has countless women, has constant scandals, and has an extremely debauched private life! ”
Li Binbin shook his head and said: "If you don't believe the media's words, few of them are true!" What kind of person Cheng Yuan is, we can judge for ourselves! At least, we, as well as Jackie Chan, Jet Li and others, now think he is a very good person! ”
When Li Binbin and Liu Yifei were talking, the first shot of Li Lianjie and Zhang Chengyuan had already been filmed, and the shooting of the second shot had already begun.
In this scene, the Yujiang God of War took advantage of the fact that the Monk was eager to break the stone statue and rescue Sun Wukong, and made a surprise attack, beating the Monk quite embarrassed.
In fact, according to Zhang Chengyuan's thoughts, an arrogant and arrogant marshal of the Heavenly Court disdains to raid a mortal, and it is just a matter of preventing him from rescuing Sun Wukong and forcing him back, so why do you need to continue to attack him, it seems that he has no bearing of the God of War of the Heavenly Court. However, he can't say anything in this regard, and he shoots whatever the script and director ask.
Perhaps in the eyes of Westerners today, there is no need to talk about any manners and rules when fighting. Perhaps they think that the god of war in Chinese civilization is no different from the gangsters of the West, just despised. Perhaps they think that villains should be as despicable and obnoxious as possible, so that the more they can arouse the audience's indignation, and the more they have a good impression of decent characters.
Whether this is the case or not, Zhang Chengyuan doesn't know, he only knows that if he doesn't play the god of war in Yujiang according to the director's requirements, he may be scolded.
In the setting of the script, although the Yujiang God of War is glamorous on the surface, he is actually an extremely evil guy. Although Zhang Chengyuan has the intention to play the Yujiang God of War, the marshal of the heavenly court, with a more godly bearing and more brilliant, but without the support of the director, producer and others, he can only play the Yujiang God of War as required!
However, in order to avoid acting too evil and making the audience disgusted with him in the future, when filming this scene, he did not do his best in acting, and he did not use the power of the Yuan Shen to strengthen the effect, so that in the eyes of others, his movements are still domineering, but the evil index of his expression is only decent, not as amazing as before.
The director was a little dissatisfied at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that Zhang Chengyuan's performance was nothing to be faulted with, because the main selling point of this movie is kung fu and fighting, and the requirements for acting skills are not high. So why be too strict with the acting skills of a supporting role? So he didn't ask to reshoot this scene, and he didn't ask for Zhang Chengyuan's acting skills after that.
After feeling the director's acquiescence, in the filming of more than a month later, Zhang Chengyuan even more restrained the evil of the Yujiang God of War, and only occasionally broke out on certain occasions. This creates a great contrast. Perhaps because of this contrast, it makes people feel that such a jade god of war is even more evil, and the director is more satisfied!
This is something that Zhang Chengyuan did not expect. However, he was not too disappointed, because he felt that he had at least played the role in the script and did not damage his good reputation for "excellent acting". As for whether the audience will hate him because of this, he doesn't have much worry, because he didn't do his best after all, so this evil image will not impress the audience too much, and they want to curse him when they see his picture!
The second shot was shot quickly, followed by the third, then the fourth...... It's still fast, and it works great! What's even more surprising is that many of these shots pass through at one time, no more than 2 NGs at most, and the reason for NG is almost all related to Li Lianjie and Zhang Chengyuan, but the fault of the staff.
This kind of efficiency is the shooting of the fight scenes between Li Lianjie and Jackie Chan, which is far inferior, which is amazing. Xindao: "If every action scene shooting has such a level and efficiency, then this movie will definitely be completed next month!" ”
With such an efficient filming speed, the scenes that were originally planned to be filmed for one day were filmed in two hours, and Zhang Chengyuan, who was eager to film, proposed to continue filming the next scenes of the two, and Li Lianjie knew that Zhang Chengyuan was anxious to return to China, so he cooperated and put forward the same request. Since the actors are willing to continue filming, the crew will naturally not refuse, after all, it is still scheduled to work, not overtime to catch up with the scene.
So, after taking a short break, I started shooting again, and the shooting speed was still about the same as before. At noon, all the rivalry scenes between the Yujiang God of War and the silent monk were all filmed with the efforts of all the staff.
Zhang Chengyuan was very happy, because he finished filming the scene that Ji Lu planned to shoot in two days in one morning, so he saved a day and a half of time, how could he not like it?
Li Binbin and Liu Yifei were envious, thinking that if they also had such outstanding skills as Zhang Chengyuan and Li Lianjie, they would not have to suffer too much if they filmed action scenes, in order to play their roles well, they had to spend a lot of time practicing martial arts moves every day, but the results were not necessarily satisfactory.
