Chapter 261
It's just physical training in the first three days.
The program "Hero, Please Take the Challenge" is recorded in a martial arts hall in the city, which provides food and accommodation.
Although the program is recorded in a closed environment and students are not allowed to go out at will, there is still a large space outside for activities. If any students want to take a walk, fans can still see them through the wall.
But after it was officially recorded, the fans and photographers carrying cameras squatted outside for a long time, but they didn't see any of the students. The only people coming in and out here are staff members.
Fans who were waiting for Reuters online but saw nothing were also confused.
Those who know about recording domestic entertainment variety shows will understand that these guests are not so diligent and hardworking that they would stay in the martial arts gym all day, right? There are thirty students in it. Does the production crew really keep a close eye on them all the time?
——In fact, the management of "Hero, Please Take the Challenge" is not that strict, the students are simply tired.
Anyone who comes here, after experiencing the military-style schedule and high-intensity physical training, will just lie listlessly on the bed. An artist who can get up, take a shower and apply some skin care products at this time can be considered to be very dedicated and cares about image management.
As for going out for a stroll, I don’t have the energy for that! Besides, no one wants to be photographed by a high-definition camera looking exhausted.
"Dogs are much stronger than us," Li Mingxu wailed while lying on the bed. "Today, the little kid gave me five crying faces, and I still had to walk the dog outside for 50 minutes! Who could be as tired as me?"
And the dog he was walking was not an ordinary dog, but a Husky that Ling Sui brought from somewhere. The Husky named Zhuangzhuang runs very fast. He is not walking the dog, but being walked by the dog on a leash.
In the boys' dormitory, the other students certainly showed sympathy for him, but it was only because there were cameras filming in the living area that they did not directly say "You deserve it."
Li Mingxu was labeled with five crying faces, and it was really not unfair at all. When they were doing sit-ups, in order not to lose to Xu Han next to him, Li Mingxu and his partner secretly reported a few more numbers, which was discovered by Feng Li next to them.
Feng Li, the discipline committee member, immediately took out crying face stickers and gave one to Li Mingxu and his partner. Then she added another one to Li Mingxu on the grounds that his movements were not up to standard.
The number of crying faces had to be accumulated and put on the list. Li Mingxu didn't want to be a bad student, so he tried to get close to Feng Li and took out a lollipop from his pocket, trying to bribe her to take back the crying face stickers.
Of course Feng Li refused. She was going to be a general in the future, so how could she be bought by such small favors?
So, Li Mingxu happily got three more crying face stickers. This lollipop was also confiscated by Feng Li and handed over to Ling Suisui like a treasure.
She also complained to Ling Suisui: "This brother doesn't train well, he is not a good boy."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ling Suisui and other students all looked over, and the cameraman also focused his close-up shot on him.
Li Mingxu: …
His face turned red on the spot, and he lowered his head and frantically looked for a crack in the ground. When he recalled this incident later, he still felt ashamed to face people. It was too embarrassing.
You can tell with your toenails that this segment will definitely be edited into the feature film, and it might even appear in the trailer in advance... Oh my God, Li Mingxu couldn't even imagine how the audience would laugh at him in front of the screen.
Xiao Zhang smiled at him and thanked Li Mingxu for his contribution. The show's famous scene +1
He was severely hurt both physically and mentally by the program crew and Sister Xiaohai. The others were slightly better off than him and did not experience such social death, but the physical fatigue was still difficult to eliminate.
It’s okay for ordinary people and those who are not well-known, but there are several popular stars in the show. Given their usual work style on the set, they were able to persevere instead of protesting to the production crew openly or secretly. Of course, there must be a reason for that.
Because they are not the only ones suffering in this program, "Senior Sister" Ling Suisui is also training with the students.
They thought they got up too early, and when they dragged their feet to the gathering point, Ling Suisui had been waiting for them there for a long time; when they were groaning in the morning jogging team, Ling Suisui was always running in the front and leading the team; when they were cutting corners and trying to fish in troubled waters during physical training, every movement of Ling Suisui was very standard, and his intensity was higher than theirs...
If it was an ordinary NPC sister, or another female celebrity, they wouldn't think there was anything wrong, but that was Ling Suisui.
She is the Cannes Film Queen, has won multiple mainstream trophies, and has starred in too many hit dramas to count. With such an all-round legendary figure who is worthy of being called a god in the domestic entertainment industry, accompanying them in the hard training, who would dare to complain? Who wouldn’t feel ashamed after reading this?
Li Mingxu complained the most, but if he were to brag about Ling Sui in the dormitory, he would not be sleepy anymore.
After someone brought up this topic, he instantly forgot his fatigue and turned into an automatic flattery machine. His fluent speech made Xiao Zhang in front of the monitor wonder if he had written the script in advance.
...I have to say, if being a fanboy is his character, then he plays it really well in front of the camera. Even if Xiao Zhang is a fan of Ling Suisui, he would think that he should get the benefits of being the son-in-law, because he is so dedicated.
The naive students were still immersed in the touching feeling that "Ling Suisui was enduring hardships in order to motivate everyone", but the fact was that she was currently playing frisbee with Erha very leisurely.
What's this strength? Compared with the special training she did when filming "Zhao Jiang", it's not worth mentioning at all. After all, attacks on ancient battlefields did not rely on special effects, but entirely on flesh-and-blood combat.
She threw a frisbee on the grass and Zhuangzhuang excitedly jumped over to pick it up. Seeing that this guy still had the energy to run around, Ling Suisui played with it a few more times.
"Please take it easy." Meng Yu, who was on a video call with her, was helpless. "I feel like I'm stuck in a cycle that's hard to break."
The story began when Ling Suisui went to Cannes. After she left, Meng Yu's husband discovered when he went to walk the dog again that Zhuangzhuang seemed to have more energy than before and liked to play outside more!
This is a very reasonable thing. People's physical fitness will improve, and so will dogs.
He used to walk the dog alone, but now he and his wife have to take turns, or take the dog out at different times. Until Ling Sui returned and she was going to host this program, Meng Yu wanted to lend her the dog so that the couple could relax for a while, but she was also worried about continuing to tap Zhuang Zhuang's potential...
"No, dogs don't have endless energy."
Ling Suisui comforted her in the video: "If it really doesn't work, I'll take it to Nordic sledding."
Do we have to let Zhuangzhuang awaken his bloodline talent and return to his old job? Meng Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She didn't worry about it for too long because her daughter offered to take on the dog walking job.
"I want to exercise, grow taller, and build muscles!" The daughter excitedly showed her a photo of Ling Suisui working in the gym. "Mom, look at how impressive Sister Suisui is in this photo! I really want to have a body like hers."
Meng Yu touched her head, thinking back to when he was young and was frantically trying to lose weight, he would be so hungry that he couldn't sleep at night, so he would open a bag of pickled mustard tuber and lick it to taste it, and he even didn't dare to swallow it. Suddenly, those days seemed so far away.
She smiled and said, "As long as you like it, health is the most important thing."
On the other side, Ling Suisui, who was still at the program recording location, was exchanging red flower rewards for the students.
According to the rules of "Hero, Please Take This", red flowers are the "currency" that can be used to purchase goods in the grocery store. The purchasing power of a red flower sticker is equal to that of a bottle of Coke without its packaging.
That’s right, here, only students with good performance can eat snacks. If there were no little red flowers, I would only be able to watch others drink happy water while I gulp down boiled water.
In order to get the red flower from Feng Li, the students tried their best to please her in front of the camera and even called her "Little Sister". However, although Feng Li is young, he works very seriously and never shows partiality to anyone.
Xu Han and Lin Yahan both got red flowers. They exchanged for a bag of potato chips to share and asked Ling Sui about the schedule for the future. What would they do after the three days of physical training?
Ling Suisui raised his eyebrows: "Who told you that the physical training only lasts three days? It's only the first three days that are pure physical training, and then we start using equipment and practicing basic skills on the mat."
"However, the subsequent physical training is no longer in the form of teaching, but a physical game with the theme of confrontation and breaking through levels, and incorporating martial arts elements."
After all, if you keep repeating similar content, the audience will get bored.
There is no doubt that with Xiao Zhang's level of game design, he can definitely enable them to achieve an amount of exercise that exceeds their expectations and challenges themselves.
Of course, they will take safety precautions, which is the prerequisite for all recordings.
As for the fantasy of many traffic stars before they came, which was to shoot a complete action film and leave a few animated pictures that could be circulated wildly in the fan circle - this part will also happen, but at least in the middle and late stages.
The premise is that they can hold on until that time, instead of being eliminated early due to low comprehensive evaluation scores.
Ling Sui looked at the record board. In the pure physical fitness section, some students had already taken the lead, which showed that daily training and accumulation still had an advantage.
She has always believed that martial arts actors must have a strong body. There is no requirement to really practice to the character's level, but the frail appearance will not convince the audience, and the difference in strength of each action cannot be saved by the director simply cutting out frames.
Xiao Zhang said that the original intention of the program "Hero, Please Take the Challenge" was to promote movies, but the content is a super comprehensive fast-forward guide on how to train martial arts actors, and it is a real zero-based introductory teaching starting from the basics.
Kung Fu and martial arts action movies were once an important window for China's cultural exports, but under the pressure of various industrial special effects blockbusters, it seems to have declined. Can Ling Suisui restore its glory days?
"…This mission is too great. I definitely can't handle it alone."
Moreover, she does not think that Chinese martial arts and industrial special effects are inherently contradictory. The fighting scenes in "Yaotai Lu" are still very exciting.
While the promotional variety show was being recorded, trailers for "The Great Swordsman" also appeared in major cinemas. Although it is only ten seconds long, the palace luxury and swordplay in the trailer still make the audience have strong expectations for the film amidst the collision of these two completely different styles.
The official website released a high-definition version of the trailer. Wuyou stood at the bottom of the stairs, facing the imperial guards rushing towards her, and drew her sword with her right hand.
The trailer ends here and the movie title appears on the screen. The audience was deeply attracted by her action and had countless associations, leaving messages in the comment section urging her, "Can't you just lift it up tomorrow?"
Hurry up and start pre-sales. Everyone has been curious about this film shortlisted for Cannes for a long time.
