Unscientific Movie King
Chapter 204: Lonely figure on the cold river, old friend from the rivers and lakes
Martial arts films are inseparable from fighting scenes. Half a month after joining the crew, Qin Chuan started acting against Li Lianjie.
On the set, Qin Chuan finished his makeup and held a long sword with a hole and slightly wider in his hand.
In the movie, this is the Yin-Yang sword, which can be split into two, and the sword will fly out during the fight.
But on the set, this is just one sword and cannot be divided into two. The scene of the sub-sword flying out can only be produced through special effects in post-production.
Li Lianjie is still filming, and Qin Chuan has to wait until he finishes.
On the field, Zhou Xun pretended to be Zhao Huaian, and with a rapier in his hand, he killed all the people from the Western Factory without leaving a single one alive, thus saving Su Huirong who escaped from the palace.
“Master, I know you are good at martial arts, but why don’t we run? The people from the West Factory will be here soon.”
“I’m waiting for someone?” Zhou Xun took the wine jug from his waist, took a big sip of wine, and his eyes were wandering.
Qin Chuan did not go to the monitor, but just watched them perform from a distance on the set.
Zhou Xun claims to have won all the awards, so his acting skills are naturally first-rate and he can basically handle any role.
Although a body double was used for some of the actions, one has to admit that her acting skills are really good and she grasped the role of Ling Yanqiu very well.
Just by looking at her eyes and listening to her voice, you can tell that she is a chivalrous woman with a story.
In a haystack not far away, the real Zhao Huaian was hiding and drinking secretly. A brother next to him said, “This woman is pretending to be you to save people. She wants to lure you out to meet her.”
“Don’t pay attention to her.” Li Lianjie said with emotion while drinking: “Wouldn’t it be good to have more Zhao Huaian like him to help us save people? Come, have a drink.”
“Brother Zhao, it seems like you two are old acquaintances, why don’t you meet?”
“The journey is long, there is no need to meet some people, there is no need to talk about some things.”
A martial arts actor is just as good at acting in dramas as a professional. Li Lianjie’s acting skills have improved rapidly in recent years.
In his previous performance in The Warlords, he was outspoken, but this time, Zhao Huaian is more reserved.
But Qin Chuan felt a little uncomfortable listening to this line, and question marks popped up in his mind?
What about that classic quote?
When the director called “cut” and Li Lianjie was about to put on makeup and shoot the next scene, Qin Chuan walked forward.
Li Lianjie said: “Don’t worry, it will be your turn soon.”
In this drama, he is just a tool in the crew, responsible for dubbing Zhou Xun and Qin Chuan, basically moving wherever he is needed.
“I’m not in a hurry.” Pulling a chair and sitting opposite Li Lianjie, Qin Chuan said, “I think you can change the line you just said.”
Li Lianjie smiled. He had worked with Qin Chuan before. This guy had never been so serious before, meddling in other people’s affairs.
It’s different when you’re the leading man.
“Which one?”
“The one about the long journey across the rivers and lakes?”
“Isn’t that great?”
“Not good enough.” Qin Chuan said seriously: “A lonely figure on the cold river, an old friend from the rivers and lakes, why do we have to know each other when we meet?”
“Hiss.” Li Lianjie savored it carefully, and this sentence was indeed more meaningful. He said in Zhao Huaian’s tone: “A lonely shadow on the cold river, an old friend from the rivers and lakes, why do we have to know each other when we meet?”
“Not bad, not bad. I’ll talk to the director.”
There was no time to touch up her makeup. Li Lianjie asked Xu Lao Mo for help, and within a few minutes, the scene was re-shot.
Another delay of ten minutes.
Next was the touch-up of makeup, and then it was Qin Chuan’s turn.
Interior scene.
In the huge studio, a huge ship that is more than ten meters high and dozens of meters long is parked on the ground.
Rudder, long sails, cabin, oars, everything that is expected in reality is available.
The crew spent several million dollars to build this ship. Except that it cannot be launched into water, it is no different from a real ship.
The ship was surrounded by green cloth, including the ground.
This is a big show that requires dozens of people.
The fight between Qin Chuan and Li Lianjie also has special effects, mainly the scene where the mother and child swords are separated. Before the fight, the two of them rehearsed it several times.
“Qin Chuan, this is the first scene for the two of you. My requirements for you are that you have a strong aura and that your fighting skills are fierce. You beat Li Lianjie like you beat a soldier, but not really a soldier…” “Director Xu, I understand.”
Qin Chuan nodded heavily.
After reading the script, he knew what Xu Lao Mo meant.
Yu Huatian is the big villain, and he cannot lose to Zhao Huaian in terms of aura or martial arts.
If the role of Zhao Huaian was played by an ordinary person, it would be quite easy to overwhelm the opponent.
But Li Lianjie is also a veteran actor, the emperor of martial arts and the best actor of literary dramas.
It’s difficult to suppress him.
If you lose your aura, you lose as well.
“Let’s try it out first.” Old Demon Xu immediately asked all departments of the crew to prepare.
At the same time, the special effects team also came on stage to mark the places where special effects were needed.
Qin Chuan was tied to a wire and sat on the highest chair on the boat, looking straight ahead, looking intimidating without even getting angry.
Dozens of people below were holding weapons.
After the field staff hit the board, the battle began.
On Qin Chuan’s side, Lavia’s men lifted him up, and he broke through the sail and flew onto the pole.
Li Lianjie also flew up and the two looked at each other.
“Who are you from the West Factory?”
“Yu Huatian.” Qin Chuan looked down at him and said with contempt: “Who are you?”
“I am the evil star of your West Factory, Zhao Huaian.”
Without a word of nonsense, the two started fighting.
Loosening the rope on the boat pole, Qin Chuan fell onto the canvas, and stabbed towards Li Lianjie with the Yin-Yang sword in his hand.
Li Lianjie blocked and turned over to chop diagonally.
In the blink of an eye, a few rounds passed, and there was a lot of danger, but no one was sure who would win.
The two men kept exchanging positions while hanging on the wire. After Qin Chuan used the mother-and-child sword technique, Li Lianjie fell into a disadvantage and could only dodge repeatedly.
“Click, pass!”
While watching the replay, the director said to the two, “This scene is good. Qin Chuan performed very well. Follow this from now on.”
Looking across the country, there are not many people who can act as well as Li Lianjie, and even fewer who can surpass him.
After Qin Chuan went on stage, he had an evil aura and he insisted on chasing Li Lianjie and fighting him. He was calm and composed throughout the whole process, with his eyes full of disdain and arrogance.
“It’s all thanks to Brother Jie’s good cooperation.” Qin Chuan said modestly.
A wonderful play cannot be completed by one person alone. Without the cooperation of rival actors, it will be useless no matter how awesome you are.
In this play, Li Lianjie was willing to be a supporting actor. He did not steal the show throughout the whole process and forced himself into the role of Zhao Huaian.
He didn’t show any expression that he shouldn’t have shown.
In order to cooperate with the opponent actor, he has been sticking to Zhao Huaian, being timid when he should be, and being weak when he should be.
Li Lianjie patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and said with a smile: “I am old and my physical strength cannot keep up. If I were ten years younger, I could fight you for another twenty rounds.”
“Nowadays, martial arts films are dominated by you young people.”
This drama brought him such a high salary and fulfilled Zhao Huaian’s dream, so he really didn’t want to be in the limelight.
At this age, I don’t care about things anymore.
I received such a high salary, fulfilled Zhao Huaian’s dream, and repaid the favor of Mr. Xu. I don’t want to think about anything else.
He had a good impression of Qin Chuan, so it was not impossible for him to be a supporting role this time. (End of this chapter)
