After the wrap party, there is usually a day off.
Several main creators who had a good relationship with Yao Yuhua sent the old man and Liu Xingyun to the airport. On the way, Yao Yuhua once again expressed her love for Jiang Dao and said that if she encountered a good script in the future, she would definitely look for him.
Jiang Dao was helpless, and didn't want to tell everyone that he didn't want to be famous, so he pretended to be obedient and nodded.
Seeing Yao Yuhua's satisfied face, the assistant director and the chief artist also smiling kindly, Jiang Dao suddenly realized - could he have really been tricked by Chu Yinlong?
When his entire social network falls into the entertainment industry, can he really withdraw and live freely and alone?
"See why you're looking at me like that?" Chu Yinlong beside him became alert.
"Nothing," Jiang Dao half-closed his eyes, "I just suddenly felt that you might be a good hunter."
Chu Yinlong looked at Jiang Dao, his face full of confusion.
He recalled and confirmed that he was not drunk last night. He did not sing, tell jokes, or pretend to be drunk to do anything that he longed for but had been suppressing.
Thanks to his childhood training and years of self-discipline, he has always had good self-control, so last night he was able to suppress the volcano in his heart that was about to erupt, and after committing irrational behavior, he was finally able to pull himself back from the brink.
What did his master say when he left the temple?
"Let's go. This is the end of your fate with Buddha. You are naturally smart and have a lustful fate. It's not good for you to stay here. Fortunately, you have good intentions in your heart. Even if you can't suppress your desires one day, you won't harm others or yourself."
Chu Yinlong once thought that the "desire" his master mentioned referred to his love of seeking danger and excitement, as well as his ambition to leave his mark in this world.
But I never thought that the sentence can actually be understood very simply and straightforwardly.
…
The next day, the filming of the action scenes for the outdoor portion of "Red Owl" officially began.
Except for the last melee in the rainforest, the other scenes are almost all Chu Yinlong's solo stunts. The scenes are arranged from easy to difficult. Today's schedule includes all the ground scenes that do not require wirework.
Chu Yinlong's solo action scenes are always trustworthy, with almost no retakes and most of them finished in one take. The filming proceeded steadily until about four in the afternoon, when the dark clouds arrived as expected, as if on cue. Everyone in the crew quickly got ready, and as soon as the rain started, they immediately began filming the rainforest melee.
This scene is also one of Jiang Dao’s more important fight scenes. In the filming schedule, it is the first time that he directly confronts Chu Yinlong.
In the clip to be filmed today, in the corresponding plot, the final battle is actually almost over, and the bullets carried by both sides have been used up, so this is a very exciting close-range hand-to-hand combat - the protagonist Wei Jie tries to stop He Zhenhai who is about to escape, but is blocked by Jess who suddenly appears. In the heavy rain, the two wrestled and rolled into a flooded depression.
There are no lines in this shot. From the start of the shot to the end, it is all direct and violent collision.
Jess's eyes were indifferent and his face was ruthless and cold. He approached and blocked the anxious Wei Jie with a knife. Wei Jie used the empty gun in his hand to block the blade and deftly dodged Jess's sweeping leg. He tried to escape from the fight with his slick body movements, but he was firmly entangled by Jess's grappling skills and could not get away.
Jiang Dao was following the planned action plan to receive Chu Yinlong's punches and kicks, when suddenly the water splashed by the opponent's body hit his nose. He subconsciously exhaled heavily to avoid choking.
Chu Yinlong reluctantly retracted his fist: "...try again."
Jiang Dao raised his hand: "Sorry, mine."
The two returned to the starting position of the camera, and Chu Yinlong asked in a low voice: "Did you choke?"
Jiang Dao shook off the water on his body and said, "It's okay, try again."
The second take went through without a hitch.
The next scene to be filmed is the fight between the two men in the puddle after they wrestled and fell into the water.
At the beginning, Jiang Dao needed to hold Chu Yinlong and try to push him into the puddle, and then Chu Yinlong used the terrain to press him under him and into the water.
There was a fight scene requiring wirework between this shot and the previous one, so the styling was adjusted a bit - Chu Yinlong changed into clothes with a cut on his chest, and Jiang Dao also had a few bruises on his face.
After finishing their makeup, the rain had not stopped yet, so the two stood on the small slope beside the puddle and got ready.
"This shot is a bit dangerous," Chu Yinlong warned, "If you feel uncomfortable anywhere after entering the water, shoot me twice in a row and I will let go."
"I understand." Jiang Dao nodded, his eyes swept over the disguised knife wound on Chu Yinlong's chest, and he pursed his lips.
"Begin." The assistant director hits the cue.
Jess suddenly grabbed Wei Jie's collar and raised the dagger in his hand to stab him in the chest. Wei Jie grabbed Jess's wrist holding the knife, but was staggered by Jess's fierce movement and fell into a pothole filled with water at the bottom of the slope.
Fortunately, there was a dead branch propped up nearby. Wei Jie grabbed Jess's hand holding the knife and went forward. The blade caught on the dead branch for a moment. Taking advantage of this gap, the two men switched positions. Wei Jie pressed Jess's neck and threw him hard into the puddle below him, pressing him inside.
The water battle scene was so thrilling that the assistant director didn't dare to delay and called for a stop immediately.
Chu Yinlong slid his fingers back and instantly lifted Jiang Dao up by the back of his neck, his eyes full of concern: "Are you okay?"
Jiang Dao wiped his face and smiled, "It's okay. Is it over?"
"Let me take a look first." Chu Yinlong, who also served as the director, stood up and walked to the monitoring screen behind the camera. He leaned over and asked the assistant director to replay the footage just shot.
After watching the pictures taken by several cameras, Chu Yinlong's face was not very good: "Try it again, my question."
He took a slow breath, exhaled short and hard, and glanced at Jiangdao: "Sorry."
Jiang Dao shrugged and smiled at him nonchalantly.
After the second take, Chu Yinlong was still not satisfied with the picture.
This time even the assistant director noticed something was wrong: "Xiao Chu, why do I feel like you're being too restrained? The moment you pushed Jess into the water at the end was too gentle. The splash from the second camera position looked a bit floating, not enough, uh, not explosive enough."
Camera position 2 is a close-up, which can best show the quality of details.
Chu Yinlong sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his brow, and had to decide: "Let's do it again."
The third time was not so good.
Looking at the images on the surveillance screen, Chu Yinlong struggled for a long time. In the end, he held on to the belief of leaving no regrets and looked straight at Jiang Dao who was covered in mud: "Sorry, let's do it again."
Jiang Dao let the stylist brush the mud off his face and responded with a smile, "No problem."
Finally, the result of the fourth shooting was satisfactory. Chu Yinlong breathed a sigh of relief and looked not far away.
Jiang Dao washed off the mud on his body with the rain. He gently touched the red pinch marks on his neck with one hand, and with the other hand, the medical staff was helping him clean his elbow which had been scraped on a dead branch.
The abrasion was not serious, but it was glaringly red.
"It's getting dark, and the light is bad." Chu Yinlong suddenly announced, "We'll shoot the rest of the scenes tomorrow."
"Ah?" The assistant director didn't react for a moment, and looked up at the sky through the awning. "The light is still good, we can shoot two more scenes. Let me see... there's also a fight in a puddle later, and we don't need wirework."
Chu Yinlong: ...
After a moment of silence, he calmly said, "I did too many NGs just now, and my legs are a little cramped."
The assistant director was shocked: "Oh! Where are the doctors? Come and see!"
The injury that made Chu Yinlong admit it must not be too minor. This guy dared to continue filming even with a fractured bone and a cast!
The medical staff on the set rushed forward, pushed Chu Yinlong into a chair and asked him to sit down, then held his legs and began to examine him. Chu Yinlong cooperated very well and stated the location and severity of the pain. Finally, he got a prescription from the medical staff who looked puzzled: "Rest for one night and observe the situation."
Thus, today's filming came to an end and the entire crew set off for home.
After returning to the villa, Jiang Dao helped Chu Yinlong, who had a "leg cramp", into the house, closed the door, and put him directly into the armchair.
"Okay, stop pretending." He crossed his arms, his face full of amusement, "What's going on? Actor Chu, who sheds blood and sweat but no tears, is actually pretending to be sick on the set?"
Chu Yinlong frowned and refused to admit it with a serious face: "I'm not pretending."
Jiang Dao bent down, put his face in front of Chu Yinlong, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Well - I don't believe it. You were very flexible when you climbed out of the puddle and walked towards the director. How come you suddenly had cramps and needed to rest? According to the degree of pain you described to the medical staff, you should have been lying on me and couldn't get up at that time."
Chu Yinlong opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything to refute. He just gave a weak and bitter smile.
Jiang Dao looked at Chu Yinlong's face and said in a low and gentle voice: "Are you tired?"
Chu Yinlong raised his eyes and met Jiang Dao's concerned gaze. He heard the boy in front of him say, "Seeing you have to run to watch the scenes after shooting, and discuss with the assistant director and cameraman how to improve them, you must be much more tired than me..."
As he spoke, Jiang Dao raised the corners of his mouth and asked with a smile: "Do you need me to give you a comforting hug?"
Desire was growing wildly in his heart, Chu Yinlong's Adam's apple rolled, and without thinking much, he raised his hands and gently wrapped his arms around Jiang Dao's waist.
A very brief hug.
Chu Yinlong quickly pushed Jiang Dao away and tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Go take a shower and change your clothes. There's a layer of sand on them."
"Tsk!" Jiang Dao was speechless, "I was trying to comfort you with good intentions, but you still despised me! Teacher Chu, your hair is also full of mud, but you can't wash it yet - because I have to grab the bathroom first!"
As he said this, he quickly ran into the bathroom to gain the upper hand.
Chu Yinlong sat in the armchair and let out a long breath.
After a while, when the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Jiang Dao opened the bathroom door a crack and poked out a wet head, his cheeks flushed by the hot steam: "I'm sorry, Teacher Chu, I forgot to take my clothes again, and the bath towel is outside. Could you please pass it to me?"
