Unscientific Movie King
Chapter 203 Zhang Ge’s Sad Story
Chapter 203 Brother’s Sadness
Confident, domineering, arrogant, disrespectful and powerful.
This is the factory manager Yu Huatian played by Qin Chuan.
He sat still the whole time, with very little change in expression, and with just his eyes he portrayed an eunuch who, during his heyday, held utmost power in the government and controlled the fate of countless people.
Qin Chuan did not deliberately lower his voice when speaking, but spoke in his own original voice. His lines were clear, his sentences were rhythmic, and every word was just on point.
When he was speaking, the atmosphere on the set was extremely depressing. No one inside or outside the set dared to breathe.
It was not until the last word fell that I heard Xu Lao Mo shout: “Ka, pass!”
Then, I don’t know who started it, but there was a round of applause.
Qin Chuan was a little confused. He didn’t know what they were applauding for. He was just performing normally and had never rehearsed this scene with Nuo props.
I just modified the scenes in the original film and presented them based on my own understanding of the memories of another world.
“Director, can I see the replay?”
“no problem.”
Qin Chuan watched the playback and found that there was no major problem. As expected of a Hollywood photographer, his skills were still amazing.
“Is there anything that needs to be changed?”
Xu Lao Mo was stunned: “No, very good.”
He thought Qin Chuan was showing off.
If he needs to make changes after performing like this, then all his decades of directing career would have been in vain.
“We’ll be shooting special effects next, so get ready.”
“okay.”
Next came the special effects scene. It was Qin Chuan’s first time to come into contact with 3D martial arts and he found that it was really time-consuming and labor-intensive.
This scene consisted of only three special effects shots, which took less than ten seconds, and the crew took more than half an hour to finish.
The first shot is that the deputy governor of the East Factory uses his internal force to throw a teacup towards him. The teacup spins all the way and is finally shattered by his eyes.
When shooting here, the teacup was hung by a green line, and a track was made in the middle to ensure that the teacup flew in an accurate path and would not sway up and down.
The second shot is Yu Huatian poking the floor with the tip of his shoe, causing it to break. A stone flies towards the black hat of the deputy governor of the East Factory, cutting off a corner of the hat.
During the reshoot, there was only a piece of green cloth under Qin Chuan’s feet, and it was a non-property performance.
In the third shot, before leaving, Yu Huatian showed off his skill of hitting the target from behind. He shook the chair with one hand, and a row of chairs shook along with it, and the one at the edge exploded.
For this scene, Qin Chuan only spent three minutes shooting the literary scenes, and half an hour adding the special effects, which is a tenfold difference.
This is 3D martial arts.
According to Xu Lao Mo, this is just an appetizer. There are hundreds of scenes and a thousand special effects shots to come. Some of them require wearing tights, reflective balls, and using motion capture technology for fighting.
The good news is that Qin Chuan is not the only leading actor in the crew. Zhou Xun and Li Lianjie also took on a lot of action scenes.
After sharing the workload, his workload was greatly reduced, but he was still the most tired actor.
During Qin Chuan’s break, Li Yuchun came up to him and complimented him, “Brother, you are such a great actor.”
She meant this sincerely.
As a top singer who is popular all over the country, it is a miracle that he can act so well and beat most professional actors in the entertainment industry.
Qin Chuan smiled: “I said you have some misunderstandings. I am an actor. Isn’t it normal for me to be good at acting?”
Li Yuchun touched her nose awkwardly. She wanted to say that Qin Chuan was a singer.
It’s no wonder she thinks so. Qin Chuan’s attainments in music are two levels higher than those of an actor. His songs have many fans not only in China but also in Asia.
Although he has done well in film and television dramas, he is still a little bit behind in songs.
“Music is my side job, and my main job is an actor.” Qin Chuan explained again.
The reason I said “again” is because he has said this many times on different occasions.
“Yes, yes, I almost forgot.” Li Yuchun scratched his head embarrassedly.
In the past few years, Qin Chuan Ge has been jumping back and forth between film and television, and he has done well in each aspect, so much so that many people have confused his profession.
Not only Li Yuchun, some actors think that he is a singer who switched to other industries.
“It seems that I have sung too much in the past few years.” Qin Chuan sighed: “I should sing less in the future, otherwise I will really become a singer.”
The illusion that his main job is a singer shows that he is moving too fast in the music field and that his film and television work can’t keep up. According to his plan, the two paths were originally to go hand in hand and complement each other.
As a result, the song had a short production cycle and was released quickly, so it was ahead of the competition.
Even if there is no pre-production time for a film or TV series, the shooting cycle alone takes at least three or four months. Add in post-production, review, and queuing for broadcast, and nearly a year will pass.
It takes him five minutes to write a song, three to five days to record it, and he can release a song in less than half a month.
Comparing the two, the song’s path is naturally much faster.
“Brother, are you serious?” Li Yuchun felt mixed emotions, surprised and regretful.
The surprising thing is that Qin Chuan has been a huge pressure on the mainland music scene for too long. As long as he is around, it will be difficult for anyone to surpass him.
He wins awards at any award ceremony of some importance every year.
If he stops singing, it will be a good thing for other musicians, as they can finally come to the fore.
It’s a pity that if he stops singing, it will be a huge loss to the Chinese music scene.
Qin Chuan looked at her with a bit of amusement and said, “You are so eager for me to retire.”
“No, no, I was just a little surprised.”
Facing the questioning from this big boss of the Chinese music scene, the head of Tianyu Media Company, Li Yuchun nervously waved his hands.
“It’s just a joke. Don’t be nervous. Come on, let’s act out a scene.”
While the two were acting together, Li Lianjie was sitting on a recliner, eating dessert, drinking tea and waiting for the scene. He looked so leisurely.
Li Yuchun was envious and glanced over from time to time.
Listening to the conversation between Li Lianjie and the director.
“Don’t give me more drama, I don’t need it.”
“Just shoot normally.”
“There doesn’t need to be too many literary scenes, but the few fighting scenes with Qin Chuan can be more exciting.”
More money, less work, closer to home.
These words suddenly popped up in Li Yuchun’s mind.
Li Lianjie really makes easy money.
The pay was so high and the job was so easy. He said he was the male lead, but in fact he was just the second male lead and his role was not as many as Qin Chuan.
It’s just that the producers put his name in front in order to sell tickets and attract people to the cinema.
“Hey, hey, hey, what are you looking at? Don’t be distracted.” Qin Chuan reminded.
“I’m sorry, I was a little excited to see Jie Ge.”
“He’s not excited, why are you excited?”
“Ah, what’s he got so excited about?”
Li Yuchun was puzzled.
Li Lianjie has been shooting martial arts scenes for decades, so they should not be new to him. The high pay may seem like a sky-high price to them, but it should be normal for Li Lianjie.
Where does the word excitement come from?
Qin Chuan shook his head and said something incomprehensible: “You don’t understand.”
Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate is the sequel to New Dragon Inn.
This play has a connection with Li Lianjie. Eighteen years ago, he was supposed to be the male lead of this play. Everything was agreed upon at that time, but an accident happened.
The agent was fired.
There are nine holes on the body.
For safety reasons, he is said to have hired eight bodyguards and hid in the hotel for nine months, only daring to come out after the storm was over.
I don’t know how Xu Ke persuaded Li Lianjie to star in this sad movie.
I guess his dream has come true this time.
