Chapter 130
What's this? It turns out to be the protagonist's halo
Even after the scene was finished and the director called for a stop, Bian Yuanzhou still stood there with a sullen look on his face.
Lin Xiangyu asked Ling Suisui in a low voice: "Is he always so into the role?"
Ling Suisui: "...Yes, he is so dedicated. He may need to wait for a while, so don't look for him yet."
In front of other actors, she should give Bian Yuanzhou some face, after all, he is a colleague in the crew.
Lin Xiangyu's role in the following scenes was relatively minor. He remembered what Ling Suisui had just said and walked around Bian Yuanzhou to greet other actors in the crew.
But for some reason, Bian Yuanzhou seemed to be staring at him... Help, this feeling of being stared at from the back of the head was really weird!
"Don't scare me." Ling Suisui waved his hand in front of him, "Old Qian, we haven't finished the show yet?"
After being reminded, Bian Yuanzhou withdrew his gaze, and there seemed to be some accusation in his eyes when he looked at Ling Suisui.
Ling Sui was not afraid of his tricks. She raised her chin and looked at him, as if to say, "Do you have any opinion of me?"
Bian Yuanzhou shrank back timidly, and now his condition returned to normal.
Ling Suisui laughed in his heart, men still need to be taught a lesson and never spoiled.
With her, there is no possibility for these people to repeatedly test her or press her further.
Ling Sui went to prepare for the filming of the next scene. Everyone accepted the fact of time travel, and Sun Jiayi also died in front of many friends. Then the demon army was about to attack.
As the god of war in heaven, Sun Jiayi must defeat the devil and send him back home. Her friends traveled through time and space and became various heavenly soldiers and generals, and they also had the obligation to participate in the war.
It’s just… everyone just changed into new vests, and their limbs haven’t gotten to know each other yet.
Although we have magic power, no one knows how to use it. During the practice, Qian Tu gave himself an afro, Zhou Ziqing turned Zheng Jun into a rabbit, and Li Zirui even exchanged bodies with Fang Zhiye...
These people were in a mess, the more they cast spells, the more chaotic the situation became. The God of War Sun Jiayi was flying all over the room.
For Ling Suisui, flying well is easy, but “looking like one can’t fly at all” is a new challenge.
Her body instinctively became familiar with the wirework, and the panic she displayed was entirely due to her acting skills. Ling Suisui is not afraid of heights, but when the wire controls her to fly high and low, the sharp explosions she makes are scary to hear.
Not only does she want to fly, she also wants to hit the pillar. Although the pillar was hollow inside and the force of the impact was controlled by the wire instructor, everyone at the scene could see that Ling Suisui was actually hit several times.
The character she played, Sun Jiayi, had to hit her head against a pillar, her back against the ceiling, and she had to fall face down on the ground... These actions are of course very funny in a comedy, but the actors had to endure a lot during the actual filming.
Ling Sui seldom uses a body double when filming, as she knows that every time she uses one, it will disrupt the smoothness of the shot. She takes all the photos that she can take herself.
The other people in the crew were used to this matter, but Lin Xiangyu, who came to make a guest appearance, exclaimed, "Ling Suisui is really working too hard!"
No wonder she was able to rise from an NPC to the leading lady of a hit TV series in just a few years... For an actor like her who is talented, capable and willing to work hard, there is no reason why she couldn't succeed.
Ling Sui was lying on the ground. She had just fallen and was seeing stars. She looked very confused. Even though the demons were almost at the palace gate, she, the God of War, had not yet tamed her limbs and could not even do basic flying.
The few people who came through were so anxious that they were running around, and Sun Jiayi, who took off again but fell to the side of the bed, discovered Huadian. Under her pillow, there was a box with the words "Secret Weapon" written on it.
——Although Ling Suisui complained in his heart that it was too casual for the God of War in Heaven to place his treasure here, but considering that the plot and setting of this story are all for the service of 18+ Hateful Astronomy, it is understandable that it is a bit sloppy.
She opened the box. Of course there was nothing inside, but her eyes suddenly became filled with surprise.
Well... the effect that the audience should see is that a dazzling light is emitted from the box, and then this light penetrates into Sun Jiayi's body.
At this moment, Sun Jiayi's performance changed.
The confusion on her face disappeared completely, and her eyes became extremely determined. Under the gaze of everyone, she held her head high, chest out, and strode forward with a calm demeanor and aura, walking like a god of war should.
That’s right, the thing she opened was – the protagonist’s halo!
The Sun Jiayi that the audience saw was glowing, but during the actual filming, Ling Suisui relied on her sense of belief for every step. After all, she would have to be watched by other people while walking this road, and listen to their exaggerated but insincere flattery.
Not laughing is her most professional quality as an actor.
After having the halo of the protagonist, the following fighting scenes were filmed seriously. The director directed the on-site transfer of equipment and moving of light sources, while Ling Suisui was also practicing moves with the action director.
The next plot is that she fights the minions, and after defeating the minions, she has to fight the devil. Ling Suisui originally wanted to discuss the action arrangements with the actor who played the devil in advance, but the other party not only came himself, but also brought a stunt double for the fighting scenes.
Okay, it's understandable that a stunt double is used for some difficult jobs - but in a 30-second fight scene, isn't it too much to only show your face for fixed parts?
Ling Sui was speechless. No matter how exciting his movements were, they could not withstand the frequent camera switches. The camera position also had to take into account the angle from which he would not be exposed. This was really like dancing with shackles.
"Let him use a body double," the action director whispered to her. "I've worked with him before, and the effect would be disastrous if he did it himself. Not to mention the fighting scenes, he would have to spend half an hour learning a set of hand gestures!"
Ling Suisui: ...
It's really despairing to think that such actors can survive in the domestic entertainment industry.
When the time comes, it will be impossible to replace him. But it doesn’t matter, there are always more solutions than problems.
Ling Suisui discussed with the director and decided to let the actor wear a mask and show his face after being caught. Since we have to use a substitute anyway, we might as well follow through.
Fortunately, the actor was not shameless enough to take all the credit for the stunt double's work. In addition, Ling Sui's record of injuries in action scenes mentioned during the conversation also helped to dissuade him from doing so.
The entire crew heaved a sigh of relief. As for the "stunning mask-taking-off" shot he requested, they just let him shoot it. That was also part of Ling Suisui's trick to trick him.
The actor who played the devil king thought Ling Suisui was gentle and considerate, but although Ling Suisui smiled at him on the surface, what she was thinking in her heart was that she hoped to become more famous.
Only when you become famous can you have the right to speak and the ability to create cakes. Only when she is so famous that her status is out of her reach, actors like this will never appear in her list of collaborations.
It was with this belief that she threw herself into the filming of the action scenes. As long as she regards the actors who imitate her as stumbling blocks to her career advancement, how can her eyes and body language not be full of power and invincible?
This set of fighting scenes is mainly based on special effects, supplemented by action and strength. Ling Sui performed every technical move of bending, jumping, and spinning in the air to the best of his ability, and was not inferior to the devil's stuntman when fighting against him.
Even with her acting skills, even in the monitor screen without special effects, it can be seen that her offensive is fierce and the opponent is retreating step by step.
The fantasy fighting scenes were already very good to this extent, but Ling Sui took into account that the audience had higher psychological expectations of her, so she asked the director to keep one more take.
At Ling Sui's request, the devil on the opposite side gave his all in the filming of this shot without reservation. Therefore, his arm fell heavily on Ling Suisui's shoulder, and she endured the pain without even blinking.
Whether an actor puts in effort or not may only make a very subtle difference in front of the camera, but she is willing to do her best to shoot every scene for the details that might be missed.
This fight scene is not long in the feature film, but it took a long time to shoot on location. In addition, Ling Suisui was tied with a full set of wires, so there was no place on his body that was not painful.
It goes without saying that when she takes off this costume, her body will be covered with bruises.
Kang Le wiped the sweat off her forehead and was ready to take her to see a doctor tonight. The makeup artist also came over in time to touch up her makeup. Ling Sui, who was extremely tired, finally had some time to rest.
The actor who had a stunt double throughout the fight scenes and was leisurely sitting on a chair eating watermelon just now slowly came to the camera.
He also said to his assistant: "Tsk, she's working so hard even though she's the leading actress. It seems like her status in the industry is just like that."
——Actually, he spoke in a low voice, but he underestimated his own volume and Ling Sui's hearing.
Ling Sui pretended not to know and still smiled at him gently, then quietly tripped him as she passed by.
The actor, who was not careful with his footing, fell heavily, experiencing a small part of the hardship that Ling Suisui was going to have to deal with in today's role.
She went to help him with an anxious look on her face. Because she acted her surprised expression so well, the male actor was suspicious of the invisible stones on the ground and the long costume. He didn't even think that Ling Suisui did it on purpose.
How could that be? She is such a nice person and so friendly, she would never do such a thing.
This naive actor didn't know that this was the only chance in his life to film with Ling Suisui.
In the not too distant future, he would regret for the rest of his life because of his laziness and slackness at the moment, missing out on the slim chance to learn from her, to ask for her advice, and to have the slightest chance of being appreciated by her.
However, time only moves forward and does not give anyone the chance to regret and start over.
