Although he acted a little foolishly at night, Jiangdao was still very serious and dedicated on the set.
Soon, the Gobi desert location shooting was completed and the fight scenes had to begin - because of Jiang Dao's shoulder injury, the martial arts scenes originally planned to be shot first were swapped with the later literary scenes, but the location shooting was originally based on the fighting scenes, and it could not be postponed any further.
The medical staff put a brace on Jiang Dao's shoulder, and Jiang Dao went into battle with the injury.
There are no short shots in the outdoor fighting scenes. They are basically long shots with complex actions that need to adapt to local conditions and utilize the surrounding terrain. Although the pain from Jiangdao's sprained shoulder was no longer too severe, the injury still ached slightly after a whole day of intense fighting.
Watching the medical staff massaging Jiang Dao with medicine, and thinking about the next filming plan, Chu Yinlong suggested: "How about using a stand-in?"
All the shots that don't require Jiang Dao to appear have been taken ahead of time, and the rest of Jiang Dao must appear in the shots. Some of the back shots without showing his face and the long shots where his face can't be seen clearly can actually use a stand-in, but the photography side needs to adopt some other techniques, and some of the storyboards may need to change the angle.
Jiang Dao shook his head: "No need. I know my own body well. If I really can't take pictures, I will ask you for a day off."
Chu Yinlong frowned: "But you..."
"I'm fine." Jiang Dao glanced at Chu Yinlong, "Director Mu said that you had a broken rib once, and you went back to the set to shoot an action scene before it was fully healed. You were in so much pain that you broke out in cold sweats. You had to touch up your makeup for each shot. Why didn't you think of using a body double?"
Every time Jiang Dao mentioned what he had done in the past, Chu Yinlong was speechless.
It's because he was a madman before, and now he has met a little madman, and he can't even stand firm in his position of educating people.
There was no way out. Jiang Dao insisted, so Chu Yinlong had no choice but to let him continue filming.
Otherwise, if it is really delayed, there are rental restrictions on the studio and seasonal restrictions on the location shooting. Everything will be delayed one by one, and it is possible that the team will be broken up... It’s not that the studio can’t afford the loss, but it is indeed not Chu Yinlong’s style to shut down the entire team just for a minor injury like a sprain.
Jiang Dao is his lover, so of course he feels bad for her, but everyone in the crew is working hard for this production, and he can't let most people down.
At night, Chu Yinlong held the sleeping Jiang Dao in his arms, gently stroking the brace wrapped around the big boy's shoulders, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
…
Two weeks later, all the Gobi desert exterior shots were finally completed.
The following scenes were all shot in the studio, where the seasons and time were not so rigid, leaving much more room for maneuver.
Chu Yinlong gave the crew a day off, and then personally took Jiang Dao back to Yan City to visit Dr. Mu's private hospital.
After the diagnosis, Chu Yinlong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the treatment suggestions given by Dr. Mu.
"Look, I said it's okay, right?" Jiang Dao said with a smile, "But I still have to move up the literary scenes and follow the physical therapy plan given by Doctor Mu. I will be able to shoot the action scenes in a month, so there shouldn't be any delays."
Thinking of what Dr. Mu had just said, he looked down at Chu Yinlong's left hand again and asked, "You really can't feel your little finger?"
Chu Yinlong nodded: "Well, if you only touch the surface of the skin, it feels numb, but if you are caught, you can still feel it."
Thinking of this, he finally found a position to criticize Jiang Dao: "So, don't take a small injury lightly in the future. If you hurt your nerves, a small injury can cause a big problem."
Jiang Dao curled his lips: "I know, Dragon Father!"
Chu Yinlong rubbed his head: "What did you call me?"
Jiang Dao smiled and said, "Got it, Dad?"
Chu Yinlong: "...I think your butt is itchy again."
Early the next morning, the two took the first flight back to the film and television city and resumed filming.
The coordinator had received the task long ago and adjusted the order of shooting in the studio to leave time for Jiang Dao's shoulder injury to recover.
So, the first scene after returning to the crew is that the protagonist goes to a celebrity ball to find out the news about the Ghost Mask and catches a friend flirting with a woman.
According to the script, Jiangdao needs to dance a tango with a female actress.
During the kiss, the two were required to keep their eyes entwined, with their noses close yet distant, always in an ambiguous state of being about to kiss but not really kissing.
However, when the actress put her arm on Jiangdao's shoulder, Jiangdao suddenly frowned.
The places that were touched seemed to be covered with a layer of fine sweat beads, which made him subconsciously want to avoid it - this feeling had also appeared when he first recorded the film "The Eater", and it made people feel very uncomfortable.
However, compared to before, Jiang Dao's ability to control his facial expressions has improved by more than one level.
He quickly adjusted himself, a smile appeared on his lips, and he started dancing as the music started.
Chu Yinlong sat in the director's seat, looking at the close-ups of the two people's faces taken by camera No. 3, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Perhaps it was because Jiang Dao acted too well, his eyes were full of tenderness as he stared at the actress, his black eyes reflected the lights of the ballroom, as if filled with stars... Chu Yinlong had seen Jiang Dao looking at him like this many times. So he became more and more worried, afraid that the young actress would fall in love with Jiangdao's eyes.
When the dance ended, Jiang Dao let go of the actress's hand, took a half step back, and turned to look at Chu Yinlong who was sitting in the director's seat.
Chu Yinlong came back to his senses and quickly looked at the effects of the shots taken by other cameras. Finally, he had to announce: "... Do it again, keep the No. 1 and No. 2 cameras closed, and switch to a close-up of the face of No. 3. You two... had good expressions just now, keep it up."
Jiang Dao saw that Chu Yinlong was jealous, and laughed softly with a gloating look.
The actress dancing with him winked at him, smiled sweetly, and put her hand on his shoulder.
After the second tango was filmed, there was another scene where Jiang Dao's character flirted with the lady off the stage.
Jiang Dao had performed this scene with Chu Yinlong many times before as a hobby at home, and he performed it with ease: a glass of golden champagne held slightly tilted in his hand, the angle of the bow, the extent of the smile, the hint of hoarseness in the voice, all were handled just right.
The lady was obviously not a shy person. She did not avoid the man but looked at him with a smile, allowing him to get closer and closer.
"Stop." Chu Yinlong shouted and cleared his throat, "It's over."
Next it was the turn of the protagonist played by Chu Yinlong to appear. He pulled his friend away from the woman and started discussing the news about the Ghost Face Bottle - which meant that after the next shot, the actress who danced with Jiang Dao could directly pay the money and leave the group.
When the camera was about to change the position, Jiang Dao took advantage of the fact that no one was around and approached Chu Yinlong and asked, "You gave it to me once just now. Don't you want to see me flirting with the actress a second time?"
Chu Yinlong glanced at him and said, "Do you think I'm so unprofessional?"
Jiang Dao deliberately joked: "Who knows? What if your acidity explodes and your brain doesn't obey you?"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Chu Yinlong secretly slapped Jiang Dao on the butt, then turned around as if nothing had happened and prepared for the next shot.
Although the camera angle was following Chu Yinlong's side, Jiang Dao and the actress also needed to continue their flirting not far away until Jiang Dao was pulled away by Chu Yinlong.
Unexpectedly, during this shooting, a small ball of paper was suddenly stuffed into Jiangdao's hand.
After the whole series of shots were finished, Chu Yinlong looked at the images on the monitor and frowned: "Jiang Dao's expression is not good, do it again."
Jiang Dao apologized, "It was my mistake. I'm sorry."
Second time, passed.
Chu Yinlong asked the logistics department to take the actress to settle the payment. Jiang Dao unrolled the paper ball in his hand and sure enough, the hotel name and room number were written on it.
Jiang Dao sneered and was about to tear up the note, but suddenly Chu Yinlong reached out and snatched it away.
Chu Yinlong glanced at it, crumpled the note into a ball, crushed it between his fingers, and shouted to the audience, "Next game."
In the next scene, the protagonist pulls his friend into a secluded corner.
Before the protagonist could speak, the playboy said with a smile: "You are still so rude. You left without reason. It was very rude to that lady. Besides... you ruined my good thing. I have the right to demand compensation."
Seeing Jiang Dao saying these words with a half-smile on his face, Chu Yinlong somehow thought of the note just now, and the lines in his mind were instantly covered up and turned blank.
Then he just stood there, stuck.
For a long while, the two looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Until Jiangdao blinked in confusion and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Chu Yinlong exhaled sharply, raised his hands, and said to the assistant director with a smile: "Sorry, my. Do it again."
As a result, Jiang Dao burst into laughter the second time.
"Sorry, sorry! My, my!" He apologized and couldn't stop laughing.
But he didn't know what the funny part was. As soon as he saw Chu Yinlong and heard that line, he couldn't help laughing.
Because the laughing scene was NG three times, Chu Yinlong was so angry that he raised his hand to slap, but in the end he didn't hit it. He pointed at the wall and said, "You, go down and stand there as punishment! You can take pictures again when you stop laughing!"
Jiang Dao tightened his lips and obediently went to face the wall.
Everyone in the crew was suddenly silent - Chu Yinlong actually punished Jiang Dao, and looking at his actions just now, he even wanted to hit someone. Isn't this too scary? The rumors are indeed true!
What they didn't know was that Chu Yinlong and Jiang Dao were used to fighting and playing around, and at home, when Jiang Dao deliberately made people angry, Chu Yinlong would beat him up. Of course, they didn't really fight. Both of them had practiced martial arts, so it was normal for them to slap or punch each other when they got into a fight. Occasionally, they would deliberately compete with each other, and no one would get angry.
Just now Chu Yinlong was about to attack subconsciously, but suddenly remembered that they were on the film set, so he stopped himself.
Otherwise, if the news gets out, even if Jiang Dao comes out to clarify, there will inevitably be people who say that he physically punished the actors.
After taking a break, Jiang Dao finally got over the inexplicable energy he had just felt. He returned to the set and completed the filming of this scene neatly and efficiently. No other accidents occurred this time.
When they returned to the hotel at night, with no one around to bother them, Chu Yinlong asked with a dark face, "What happened to the note today?"
Jiang Dao raised an eyebrow: "Can you not guess? You are asking even though you already know the answer."
Chu Yinlong was speechless for a long time.
"Oh, are you jealous?" Jiang Dao teased him deliberately, "Isn't it just a note? I didn't really do anything with her..."
"You dare?" Chu Yinlong narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"That's hard to say..." Jiang Dao came forward, put his arms around Chu Yinlong's neck, lowered his voice and laughed, "...I will only behave myself if Teacher Chu scolds me so hard that I can't get out of bed."
