As Ji Jingyuan's experience told him, the first few scenes of most TV series filming were difficult, and he only gloated a little in the morning when he watched Pei Xiuzhi being beaten hundreds of times before he finally had some state, but it was his turn at noon.

"It was a war that was almost impossible to win, but in the end, it was won under the fearless battle and leadership of General Jin Yu, so this scene should reflect the heroism and toughness of the male protagonist, as well as danger and exhaustion."

“…… This is the beginning of the whole play, and it is an important part of determining whether it can catch the audience's attention, for this opening scene, the crew is striving for excellence in both action design and costumes and props, and the most important thing in this opening is this long shot......"

The originally deserted wasteland in the southern suburbs was extremely lively at this time, more than a dozen large and small cars were scattered around, and dozens of hundreds of staff were busy arranging the venue and various props in the middle.

The clouds were thick, and although the sun did not show its face, the temperature was still quite high, and I still felt a sense of heat just going to this station.

In this busy crowd, Li Yingfu pulled Chi Jingyuan, who had changed into a black ancient robe, and kept gesturing with his hands, telling him about this very important scene.

After listening carefully, Chi Jingyuan nodded to show that he understood, and Li Yingfu patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Let's practice first." ”

After filming Pei Xiuzhi's first scene in the morning, the whole crew was divided into two, one side was led by the assistant director to continue filming her scene, and the other side came directly here under the leadership of Li Yingfu and began to shoot the important first shot of Ji Jingyuan.

This scene is the first scene at the beginning of the whole "Ghost", which tells the story of Jin Yu, played by Ji Jingyuan, who is invincible on the battlefield as an ancient general before becoming a ghost, and uses a tragic war scene to highlight the cruelty of the battlefield and the image of the protagonist at the beginning, and shows the excellence of the drama "Ghost" at the beginning with excellent production and professional long shots.

And this is not a scene that can be filmed casually, all the movement processes of Chi Jingyuan's single, every swinging and slashing posture, and even all kinds of handsome turns, jumping splits are specially designed and require a lot of practice, there are hundreds of extras who play soldiers in the supporting roles, especially the long shot, several cameras follow the whole process, there are at least six or seven soldiers with rival scenes in the middle, and if there is a little problem in the middle, NG needs to do it again.

It doesn't matter if you grind with Pei Xiuzhi all morning, anyway, it's two or three actors in a small house, and the first scene on Chi Jingyuan's side is surprisingly difficult.

To be honest, he's actually quite stressed...... This is especially true after the implementation of the props.

"So heavy?"

Chi Jingyuan raised a two-handed sword specially made for this scene, his hand was on the hilt of the sword, and he was almost not held steady by the force of the sinking as soon as he lifted it, he hurriedly held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and looked at the prop master next to him in surprise.

"For the sake of realistic shooting effects, Jin Yu's two-handed swords are specially made, although there is no sharp edge, but the weight is real."

"Okay...... It's not particularly heavy. ”

Hearing what the prop master said, Chi Jingyuan blinked, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, picked up the sword and weighed it twice, his smile was a little reluctant, but he still blinked optimistically.

After a little preparation, after everyone was in place, Chi Jingyuan followed the action guide and began to practice this section of the movement process.

"Hold the sword tightly with both hands, first a horizontal ......"

Engrossed in watching the action director Kim Jae-sung next to him wearing a black robe similar to his own, holding a long sword to demonstrate himself, Ji Jingyuan also imitated it very seriously.

"Then one turned around and slashed directly at the enemy's neck with a sword......

As Chi Jingyuan imitated his movements, a handsome turn turned around and slashed the sword on the neck of the supporting actor, and the dragon set also covered his neck very vividly and retreated directly.

"Don't ......turn like this," Kim Jae-sung corrected after watching Ji Jingyuan's movements, and after demonstrating himself, he said solemnly: "If you are wearing prop armor, it is easy for you to turn like that and the center of gravity is unstable, and the amplitude is not so large...... Then the sword held steady a little. ”

Chi Jingyuan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then moved his shoulders without missing a trace, and the dragon set that had just withdrawn came over again and started again.

"OK, this time is good......"

"This time it's just ...... straight in"

The next supporting actor rushed up, and was stabbed by Chi Jingyuan through his waist, his body stiffened, and he twitched twice and retreated.

Just like this, one to teach, one to learn, and a group of extras to play the role, Ji Jingyuan concentrated on practicing all his movements and processes in this opening, especially the martial arts movements of the long shot were learned over and over again.

The sweltering air was brewing all around, the sand and dust were swirling around, and the weeds and tents and flags in the distance were hunting in the hot wind.

When I came, I just finished lunch, and I didn't know when it was getting dark.

"How does it feel?"

Finally waited for the rest time, Park Jae-hyun hurriedly handed over a bottle of mineral water, and then took a small electric fan to blow at Ji Jingyuan, and the assistant next to him used a towel to help him quickly wipe his sweat.

"Everything else is good, and the movements are not difficult to learn......

Chi Jingyuan gulped half a bottle of water, took a hard breath after putting it down, and most of the sweat and dust on his face disappeared under the wet towel wipe, and he suddenly felt a pleasant cool feeling.

It's just that when he twisted the cap of the mineral water bottle back, his hand trembled slightly: "That's it...... This sword is just too heavy. ”

As the prop master said, for the sake of realism, Chi Jingyuan's special two-handed sword props are very heavy, although they are not as undiscounted as pure iron, but even his physical strength is a little unbearable after wielding it all afternoon, his hands and shoulders have long been sore, and with the stuffy and hot weather, he feels a little prostration at this time......

He was still complaining that Pei Xiuzhi had been beaten hundreds of times in the morning, and before he officially started filming on his side, he had already suffered several times more than others.

But...... Chi Jingyuan didn't actually complain about anything, on the contrary, he even enjoyed it a little.

"Hmm......" He moved his shoulders and neck, feeling the tingling sensation coming from it, thinking of the various sword dances in the afternoon, he sighed but laughed: "Don't say it, it's really interesting." ”

This is the first time he has filmed this kind of war scene with a cold weapon, the powerful sword dance movements designed one by one are both handsome and real, and the actors who are supporting the scenes are also very dedicated, even if it is just a practice scene, the action is different every time he dies, and sometimes he has to twitch twice, turn in a circle and die again.

There was no expression on his face, his shoulders and hands were sore, but he kept smiling in his heart......

It's really a whole new experience.

Tired is indeed a little tired...... But that's not what an actor does.

After eating, it was completely dark, but it had no effect on Chi Jingyuan, and he immediately practiced with the martial arts instructor and actor again by the light.

In order to open this war scene of Jin Yu, half of their crew has to stay in this desolate wilderness for the past few days, and this afternoon the director has been filming the surrounding scenery and some war scenes in the dragon set, and tomorrow will officially start filming the scene of Chi Jingyuan, as well as that important long shot.

So there is not much time left for Ji Jingyuan to practice, and the progress of this scene depends entirely on whether his filming goes smoothly or not.

The moonlight shrouded in darkness and the night was dark.

"Jingyuan, why don't you take a rest first."

At night, it was already dark, but Ji Jingyuan was still rehearsing the long-shot action there, Park Jae-hyun watched it for a while, and couldn't help but walk over and persuade: "The crew has also been filming here for several days, and there are special stand-ins for some actions, you don't have to worry about this for a while, it's the same if you practice again tomorrow." ”

"What are you talking about, brother?"

Chi Jingyuan turned around, the two-handed sword in his hand handsomely slashed out a shining circle in the air, and then connected a thrust non-stop, his hand did not stop, but his mouth was panting and said: "This war Jin Yu actually won very thrilling, and he almost died with all his might, so in this scene, in addition to the action can not be wrong, the feelings must also have that kind of desperate taste, every sword, every expression must have that feeling of using all your strength and giving everything to it......"

His chest heaved and he panted, but he was inexplicably proud: "I'm almost finding that feeling......

Saying that, he slashed into the air with a sword again, and raised his eyebrows when he remembered something: "And I don't have much time to practice, if I keep making mistakes when shooting long shots tomorrow, how faceless will I be?" I'm the male protagonist, how can I be as NG as Pei Xiuzhi's woman? She's not annoyed by others......"

“……”

After looking at the figure of practicing sword dancing in the moonlight for a while, Park Jae-hyun, as an agent, also smiled lightly, shrugged his shoulders and said no more.

In fact, he also wanted to remind Chi Jingyuan that your phone had vibrated several times just now......

But looking at his current appearance, forget it.

…………

"How?"

Ji Jingyuan, who had been surrounded by several assistants and Cody for a long time, finally got out of the makeup car after finally cleaning up, shook his shoulders, tasted the feeling of being a little strange in armor, and asked Li Yingfu as if seeking approval.

is going to officially start filming his first scene today, and naturally he has also changed to a full set of scenes - the silver and iron armor of the general Jin Yu.

This special iron armor also feels heavy on the body, the iron elbow armor and shin armor are silvery, the breastplate is densely engraved with knot-like lines, and there is a magical pattern of unknown meaning in the center of the chest.

At the same time, in order to conform to the long hair customs of the ancient people, they also wore wigs, and the thick long hair was stretched straight down, tied in a knot on the head, and fixed with a black jade hair crown...... It was a real war-damaged makeup, made of dust and blood stains from various makeup, his face was black and red, and there was a deep knife wound on his cheek.

This is also the first time he has filmed a costume scene, and when he saw the props, he felt that the production was very exquisite, but he didn't know what it looked like when he wore it.

"Very good, that's the taste!"

Li Yingfu looked at Chi Jingyuan under the costume of the scene with satisfaction, applauded and nodded: "It's the same as the Jin Yu we imagined, and this makeup is also very good, and it also covers up Jingyuan's weaknesses in playing the general." ”

"That'll do." Chi Jingyuan imitated the appearance of General Jin Yu and nodded solemnly.

But in fact, he felt very itchy on his face, especially on his nose, but he was not very good at scratching it directly, for fear of messing with the makeup he had just painted.

It's a little uncomfortable.

Next is the official start of Chi Jingyuan's first scene, under the difficult run-in, after a morning of shooting, some fragmentary shots of this war scene were successfully filmed, and then the most important long shot was reached.

“Action！”

With PD's order, hundreds of extras who played soldiers took props and let out a roar to catch and fight, and Ji Jingyuan was also wearing armor, according to the movements that he had practiced countless times yesterday, brandishing a giant sword among the dragon set soldiers and starting to enter and exit seven times.

"Kill!"

The official start of filming and practice are still different, the tension and pressure are completely different, and some of the actions that were restrained for fear of injury yesterday can no longer be modest, and even those tricks are much more real.

Even though Ji Jingyuan has been practicing all night almost since yesterday, and he basically hasn't rested much at night, and he has memorized the series of actions in this section, the shooting of this long shot is still not very smooth.

"CUT, reset, do again."

“NG！”

"Again."

Although Chi Jingyuan doesn't like NG, this is also something he can control.

This is a good shooting process that requires the cooperation of all aspects, including the shots, background, actors, and even lighting, etc., as well as the most important action and feelings of the leading actor Ji Jingyuan.

He can only try to do the best he can...... Although he actually has a lot of forks.

This shot ...... It's really hard.

“CUT!”

“OK！ Get ready for a transition! ”

A simple shot, which started filming before noon, and it was not until the afternoon that the director was finally satisfied, hearing this OK, all the actors, including Chi Jingyuan, breathed a sigh of relief, and the two-handed sword in Chi Jingyuan's hand almost fell directly to the ground.

However, looking at the wind and sand around him, and the countless dense footprints he had made on the sand in a day, he couldn't help but feel a different sense of accomplishment.

…… But the pride didn't last a minute, and he hurried back to the car to change his clothes.

Today's weather is stuffy and hot, and at this time his whole body is already soaked with sweat, and the novelty at the beginning has long disappeared, if it weren't for the filming requirements, he wouldn't want to wear this armor for a minute.

When Ji Jingyuan took off his armor, he simply walked out of the car wearing only a stand-in vest, and was stopped by a VJ carrying a camera in a few steps.

"Jing Yuan Xi, can you give me an interview?" VJ asked out loud, this is the VJ that the crew specializes in filming tidbits.

“OK!”

Ji Jingyuan smiled at the camera and gestured, he especially likes the word 'OK' now.
