Chapter 340: Filming
After Tang Shuo finished asking, he realized what the "snitching" was all about and immediately smiled bitterly.
"Senior Sister asked me to keep a close eye on you when she left." Lu Wanqi said with a smile, "So of course I have to do my best to keep an eye on you. You might go out and pick up someone at any time."
Anytime! Hook up!
What are these words?
Tang Shuo felt his dignity was insulted and asked indignantly, "Am I such a person?"
"Yes." Lu Wanqi said firmly.
“…”
…
"Brother Zhen, Director Li still doesn't agree to the changes." Zheng Jie said helplessly to Zhen Jingwu, who was resting in a chair. "Also, Director Li said that the original afternoon scene was canceled. They want to shoot an extra scene with Zhu Lan."
Zhen Jingwu frowned, looked at the script and asked, "Who is this guy? Does he know the investor?"
"Probably not." Zheng Jie shook his head and said, "Li Quan invested 60% of this film. The people from the investment company have no say at all. Besides, Li Quan has always been very tough and would never do something like this."
"I see!" Zhen Jingwu threw the script to Zheng Jie and said, "This kid knows Lu Wanqi, could he have some connection with her?"
"I don't know either." Zheng Jie replied.
"I'll go take a look."
Zhen Jingwu immediately stood up, walked over to Li Quan and said, "Director Li."
Li Quan stopped what he was doing and said with a smile, "It will probably take another two minutes to prepare. What's going on?"
"It's a problem with the script," Zhen Jingwu said. "I think it would be better to have the protagonist defeat the extra. We could extend the hard training part a bit. That would also be more logical."
"The script issue has been finalized. We'll stick to it for now," Li Quan said. "I'll reconsider it during post-editing."
After all, Zhen Jingwu is a top domestic kung fu superstar, so Li Quan didn't want to make the relationship with him too awkward, so he resorted to the tactic of procrastination.
He will be personally responsible for the post-production editing, so won’t he have the final say on how the editing should be done then?
"Okay." Zhen Jingwu agreed with a forced smile, then subconsciously glanced towards Tang Shuo's position.
…
"Director, don't we need to rehearse?" the grimy-faced man asked in surprise. "Let the martial arts director design two moves first. That way it will be easier for everyone else to coordinate."
"No need." Diao Weixiucai.
Li Quan looked at Tang Shuo, who had changed into a long gown. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "You already understand the plot. When you receive the hint, you will come out of the restaurant and defeat them."
Zhen Jingwu, who had been observing Tang Shuo, also asked curiously, "No need to rehearse?"
"No need." Li Quan nodded, then said to the martial artists standing by, "When the time comes, you must pay more attention and cooperate well with Tang Shuo."
These martial artists are more than one level higher than the extras and are also very important in action movies. Most of them know two moves, so that they can better cooperate with the protagonist and highlight the protagonist's strength.
One of the bearded men stepped forward and asked, "Wouldn't that be too fake?"
"No, let's start preparing." Li Quan waved his hand and announced directly to everyone on the field.
"Be careful." Lu Wanqi looked at Tang Shuo and said.
"I know." Tang Shuo nodded, then walked upstairs as arranged.
After the personnel and equipment were in place, the man with the dirty face stepped forward and knelt on the ground. He held up the clapperboard and said, "Fist of Fury, sixth scene, first time, A!"
Snap...
Accompanied by the crisp sound of clapping boards, the scene that was very quiet a second ago suddenly became lively. Under the camera, there were hawking and shouting sounds everywhere.
The first scene that appears is a few extras teasing Lu Wanqi, and then the protagonist played by Zhen Jingwu comes from a distance, and after seeing this, he hurried forward to stop them.
Seeing that the big men ignored his words, Zhen Jingwu took decisive action.
According to the script, after he kicked the first big man down, he was surrounded by several martial artists.
After a few blows, Zhen Jingwu was caught off guard and was attacked by two of the men. He was then surrounded and beaten by several big men.
When Tang Shuo received the request to leave, he walked out of the restaurant directly.
According to the script, he had to go up and stop the bearded man, and then knock down several extras. The process was very simple.
However, because Li Quan did not give everyone the routine arrangements for Tang Shuo's next fighting moves, several martial artists were a little uneasy, wondering how they should cooperate with Tang Shuo.
This was not Tang Shuo's first time filming, so there was nothing new or exciting about it.
Tang Shuo walked forward calmly and grabbed the bearded man's fist that was about to swing out.
The bearded man saw his hand being grabbed and immediately tried to turn around and expose his entire front to Tang Shuo, making it easier for him to attack.
But when he had just twisted his body halfway, he felt a huge force coming from his grabbed arm, and the bearded man instinctively resisted with force.
However, what happened next left everyone present stunned.
The bearded man fell directly to the ground. Then Tang Shuo jumped into the air and kicked the man on the back. The bearded man screamed and crawled directly to the ground.
They are cooperating so hard!
Except for the two parties involved in the incident, Lu Wanqi and Li Quan, this idea popped up in everyone else's mind.
Seeing this, several martial artists who were "beating" Zhen Jingwu shouted a few words and then rushed towards Tang Shuo.
Compared to the previous time, this time there was no constraint of the script, so Tang Shuo fought more casually.
After sending a martial artist flying with a high whip kick, Tang Shuo reluctantly used a few somewhat flashy moves.
After several martial artists lay on the ground, Li Quan immediately shouted, "Cut!"
The others on the field began to discuss in confusion.
These martial artists are too unprofessional. How can they deal with things like this?
The five people fought for only four seconds!
At least you should make two more moves to persist. This style of play is too fake.
Just when everyone thought Li Quan was going to criticize the martial artists, he approached Tang Shuo with a friendly expression and said, "Slow down your movements and try to do more moves."
Then he clapped his hands again and said to the martial artists on the ground, "Try your best to slow down. It was too fast just now."
Tang Shuo frowned and said, "I was already very slow just now."
"Then go slower!" Li Quan said as he walked to the camera position.
Several martial artists also stood up at this time. The bearded man who started the fight first looked at Tang Shuo in surprise and asked, "Brother, have you practiced this before?"
"Yeah, I've practiced a little." Tang Shuo nodded.
"I didn't expect I was wrong." The bearded man laughed at himself and said, "Just do your best and be gentle when you attack."
Tang Shuo nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
The bearded man smiled and said, "Everyone, please be more careful!"
Several martial artists agreed and then began to prepare.
Zhen Jingwu frowned as he watched the scene in front of him. After Tang Shuo entered the tavern, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. It was unclear what he was thinking about.
…
"Fist of Fury, sixth round, second time, A!"
The plot until Tang Shuo walked out of the tavern was the same as last time, without any change.
When Tang Shuo caught the bearded man again, he glanced at Tang Shuo and punched him in the face, cursing, "Mind your own business!"
Tang Shuo turned his head slightly to avoid the bearded man's punch, then moved directly to the bearded man's side, bent his arm backwards, then jumped into the air and kicked the bearded man three times in the chest.
Of course, Tang Shuo was very careful about the strength of his attacks. His moves looked ferocious, but they were not powerful at all.
Li Quan, standing on the sidelines, saw this scene and his face lit up with joy. He was already looking forward to the fight between Tang Shuo and Zhen Jingwu.
