Chapter 409 What are you dreaming about!
At the very beginning of the video, Ye Wanxi is helping Yun Youna stretch her muscles. With each stretch, Yun Youna cries out, and you can feel Yun Youna's inner breakdown even through the screen.
However, what happened next was even more devastating!
The crew was stretching to prepare for the fight scenes later. Ye Wanxi, as the temporary action director, was even persuaded by Yun Yuna to design some of the action moves for her.
In this video, Ye Wanxi designed a spinning and leaping motion for Yun Yuna.
The simulated movement is exceptionally clean and crisp, both aesthetically pleasing and exuding a heroic spirit, and it gained everyone's approval as soon as it was proposed.
However, Ye Wanxi clearly overestimated Yun Youna's stiff limbs. What others could do as a beautiful and cool spin, Yun Youna just spent half a day performing a turtle spinning around while suspended by wires.
By the end, Yun Yuna was so dizzy she almost vomited, and Ye Wanxi was also in a daze, with a blank expression of numbness and collapse.
As she was being put down, the audience could still faintly hear Yun Youna's complaints: "What kind of inhuman action is this? Wanxi, I can't do it, I really can't do it. This is not something a human can do. Please let me go."
Seeing this, some people have already started to feel sorry for her.
Especially after seeing Ye Wanxi standing to the side, arms crossed, looking down at her with a "heh," she was even more prepared to hurl a string of profanities at her.
The next second, Ye Wanxi did a somersault on the spot, completing the move that Yun Yuna had been struggling with for ages. Most importantly, she didn't even need wires!
The post-production team responsible for editing the video was clearly just as surprised as the audience, and added a large exclamation mark above the heads of everyone present.
What's most infuriating is that after Ye Wanxi finished, she came back and said to Yun Yuna, "Inhuman? You mean, I'm not human?"
The scene fell silent again, and the post-production team cleverly added a long row of ellipses depicting crows flying across the screen above the view.
At the end of the video, Yun Yuna shamelessly clung to the leg of a table on set, wailing loudly but ineffectively: "Wanxi, Wanmei, Xiaoxixi, Master! I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore, please let me go! Waaah, Director, save the child, save the child!"
As a result, Ye Wanxi dragged him away along with his chair, and Jiao Dao's gloating laughter could still be heard from afar.
"Pfft..." Many people in front of their computer and mobile phone screens couldn't help but burst out laughing when they saw this.
I didn't laugh when I saw her miserable stretching, I didn't laugh when I saw the tortoise spinning, but I couldn't help but burst out laughing at the end.
[Although I'm a fan, I still want to say, sis, you're supposed to be the top female host of the new generation on the official TV station, hurry up and pick up your integrity and idol image, they've all fallen apart!]
[Hahaha, after seeing so many celebrity press releases promoting how dedicated and hardworking they are, this is the first one that makes me realize celebrities actually have it tough. That initial stretching scene instantly brought back memories of when I first started learning dance. Back then, the whole dance studio was filled with the screams and cries of pain from beginners.]
[I could laugh all day at this spinning pose, Youyou. You really need to reflect on why everyone else does it so elegantly and coolly, while you look like a turtle being hung up?]
[Pfft, a turtle being hung up. Hahahaha, that's such a perfect description! I can feel the little master's breakdown even through the screen.]
[I suspect the young master is so angry he's about to beat the female lead up and take over himself.]
The video received mostly positive comments, but some people expressed sympathy for Yun Yuna and took their anger out on Ye Wanxi because of it.
However, such remarks were quickly countered by book fans.
[If I remember correctly, this scene still has actors in costume; it should be filming the scene of the female lead's first appearance in the original novel, right? That's a famous scene from the original work. Previous versions put a lot of effort into designing this scene, and it must have been tough for the actors to achieve that, but I think the action choreographer's design is flawless.]
[If such a memorable scene isn't filmed well, your female lead's appearance will be overshadowed by previous excellent versions, lowering the overall quality and appeal of the entire series. Then, your female lead won't even have a memorable moment worth discussing, and you'll all say she's irresponsible for not giving her a good entrance.]
So, did she succeed in the end? Actually, I also think this movement is quite difficult for people with stiff limbs, but watching Xiaoye do it, it actually seemed quite simple.
[Wake up, upstairs! Just look at the expressions on everyone's faces; this isn't simple at all! Didn't you see how dumbfounded they were?]
[At first, I couldn't help but nod in agreement when I heard Youyou's complaints, even suspecting that the martial arts instructor was deliberately making things difficult for my little one. But after the demonstration, good heavens, I was the clown myself! (doge.jpg)]
[I must say, this move is absolutely amazing when done by professionals. The female lead really couldn't do it. I wonder if the action choreographer could recreate it for her during filming?]
This wasn't the only book fan with this idea in mind; in fact, some early classic film and television works also featured professional stunt doubles.
However, in recent years, the issue of stand-ins has gradually become demonized.
Previously, actors would try their best to perform all the roles they could, and only perform stunt doubles for some professional scenes that were simply beyond their capabilities.
Things are different now. Using body doubles for back views, long shots, and side profiles is commonplace. Some people even need body doubles to eat a meal or raise their hand at a distance.
This has led to a widespread aversion to using body doubles in the industry, as if any production crew that uses a body double and is exposed is committing the most heinous crime, enough to condemn the entire crew and even the actor to shame.
It's rare to see viewers actively requesting the production team to use stunt doubles. This topic has even inspired many book fans to fantasize about having Ye Wanxi serve as the stunt double for all the female characters in the drama. Perhaps this could recreate many classic fight scenes from the original work and bring everyone a visual feast of martial arts.
When Director Jiao saw the sudden influx of outlandish comments under his account, his first reaction was: You guys are dreaming!
Not to mention that if they actually did that, those unscrupulous media outlets would use it as a hot topic to tear their production team apart. Just take Ye Yatou, that money-grubbing opportunist.
The actors get one salary, the action choreographer gets another, and if she's a stunt double, she'll definitely have to pay another salary. In the end, she's making a profit off all the crew's expenses. Dream on.
He! Has! No! Money!
