After filming the fight between Bull Demon King, Spider Demon and White Bone Demon today, Gu Huai stretched his body.
He is twenty-nine years old.
Although he is not very old, he has been in the entertainment industry for exactly ten years and has extensive experience in various aspects of stunt doubles and fighting.
In the past, their profession was called dragon and tiger martial artists.
Basically, they shoot the scenes that the protagonist dare not shoot, and they do the actions that the protagonist dare not do.
Of course, this is indeed a high-risk industry, so high that breaking bones or fainting are normal operations.
Gu Huai has already seen all the subsequent plots of "A Chinese Odyssey".
Basically, there are no particularly difficult action scenes. Similarly, although many of the fighting scenes are very exciting, they are not difficult for Gu Huai and he can complete them all by spending some time.
Of course, in addition to being an action double in "A Chinese Odyssey", Gu Huai is also the action director of the film.
This was a stroke of luck for Gu Huai, even a blessing in disguise.
He was very clear that "A Chinese Odyssey" was an opportunity.
What does Lu Yuan’s crew represent?
Represents box office!
Moreover, with such a huge investment, if the word of mouth is not too bad, then the box office will definitely explode.
If "A Chinese Odyssey" has a box office hit, everyone in the crew will benefit from it!
Without saying anything else, I will just go out and say that I was an action director in "A Chinese Odyssey" and served as a stand-in for Lu Yuan and others...
Tell this out.
How cocky!
Of course, there are many potential benefits, but this position is not so easy to get.
How difficult is the competition for this position?
Quite difficult!
At least Gu Huai knew that there were hundreds of people competing for the martial arts instructor and stunt double for "A Chinese Odyssey".
However, among these people, Lu Yuan felt that he was right for him and chose him.
This is simply...
incredible.
After the sun went down, Gu Huai returned to the dormitory, planning to take a rest and then think about tomorrow's action scenes in the evening.
Tomorrow's action scenes are very important and the fighting must be exciting, so Gu Huai feels that he cannot be negligent.
After dinner, just when Gu Huai had been lying in bed for about half an hour, there was a knock on the door.
Who is this?
Gu Huai opened the door, but when he opened it, he was stunned.
"Brother Gu, are you free?"
"Mr. Lu, I'm free. I'm free. I'm absolutely free."
"Okay, come out for a walk with me if you have time."
"good!"
The evening breeze blew Lu Yuan's hair. Lu Yuan stood in front of Gu Huai with an admiring look in his eyes.
Seemed to be sizing him up.
Gu Huai was excited but also a little nervous.
He was excited because Lu Yuan actually called him Brother Gu, but he was nervous because of what Mr. Lu suddenly wanted to do with him?
Did I film it poorly? Or did I fail to meet Mr. Lu's requirements for some of my moves?
When Gu Huai thought of this, he suddenly felt very uneasy.
Lu Yuan did not say anything, but took Gu Huai to the big tree next to the crew, and then looked at Gu Huai again.
Gu Huai felt a little frightened when he was stared at.
"Brother Gu...what are your plans for the future?"
"Ah, the future?"
"Yes, the future..." Lu Yuan found a big rock to sit down and looked at Gu Huai.
In fact, Gu Huai was not chosen by Lu Yuan, but by Li Qi.
Lu Yuan felt that he didn't know much about the crew's situation, so he left some trivial matters to Li Qi.
Lu Yuan just made some requirements, and they were not difficult. Just choose someone who is more experienced, younger, and can be both a stunt double and an action director.
Although Lu Yuan said it simply, Li Qi heard it as a strict requirement for selection and finally chose Gu Huai.
"In the future...if possible, I hope I will have the opportunity to be an action director..." Gu Huai hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at Lu Yuan seriously.
He is an honest man and doesn't like to lie.
"Action director?" Lu Yuan touched his chin.
"Yeah, yes, an action director like Zhang Asheng..." Gu Huai added, looking at Lu Yuan.
Zhang Asheng is Gu Huai's idol.
He also started from the lowest level as a martial arts instructor, and gradually became a martial arts instructor, and then an action director...
Although an action director is not the chief director who is responsible for everything, he is someone that martial artists can look up to.
After all, being able to design some actions by yourself and direct the people below to shoot according to these actions definitely means you have a very high status in the crew.
"Have you considered anything else?" Lu Yuan had heard of Zhang Asheng's name. Zhang Asheng's name appeared in almost all action movies in the past two years.
However, the box office performance of these action movies is generally not very good.
Chinese action movies used to be very popular and were also well-known in Hollywood, but now...
All right.
It seems to be getting worse.
"Anything else?"
"Well, I think you're good at fighting scenes. Have you ever considered becoming an action actor?"
"I...I haven't learned much about acting..."
"If there is a chance, are you willing to work in this direction?" Lu Yuan looked at Gu Huai again.
"I'm willing... I... If I can show my face, I have no problem with that!" When Gu Huai saw that Lu Yuan's expression was more serious than ever before, his heart beat faster.
"Well, that's good." Lu Yuan nodded and smiled.
"Mr. Lu, can I ask what kind of movie that is?" Gu Huai looked at Lu Yuan timidly, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"It's more of a martial arts movie."
"Martial arts? Ancient ones?"
"No, it's more modern."
"More modern? Then what role do I play in it? How many scenes do I have?" Gu Huai asked bravely.
"It's hard to say about the role. It may be a very important role, or it may be a supporting role. A lot of things depend on you. Do you understand?"
"It depends on me?" Gu Huai looked at Lu Yuan blankly.
"Well, I'll give you four months. Four months, you try to work on your acting skills. After four months, I'll check your acting skills. If your acting skills are up to par, then I'll consider giving you a very, very important role..."
"How important is it? Could it be..."
"I don't like to set a ceiling for anyone, do you understand? If you meet my requirements, it's possible that I can give you a leading role."
"Main, protagonist?"
"Haha, don't be too happy too soon. Even if your acting skills are good enough and you play the leading role, the filming process won't be that easy. You may have to take on a series of duties such as action design, and the pay won't be high. You have to be mentally prepared. Okay, it's getting late. Go and have a good rest. Tomorrow's scene will be difficult to shoot."
Lu Yuan patted Gu Huai on the shoulder and nodded at him.
Gu Huai nodded.
Then, he looked at Lu Yuan's back stupidly.
It is also possible to give you a protagonist...
Gu Huai was cheered up!
A huge feeling of happiness instantly hit his heart, as unreal as pie falling from the sky.
This feeling is very similar to when I was chosen to be Lu Yuan's stunt double and action director in "A Chinese Odyssey"...
He pinched his face.
Pinch very hard.
Then a piercing pain came over him, leaving him speechless.
In the distance, Lu Yuan’s figure became longer and longer, and more and more blurred.
Gu Huai clenched his fists, then bowed deeply towards Lu Yuan's back.
The most difficult thing in the entertainment industry is to meet a noble person.
Gu Huai knew that he had met a noble person today.
Maybe it’s the noble person who changes your life!
…
Lu Yuan didn't think much about it, nor did he write the script for the action movie.
In fact, Lu Yuan is very busy now.
We filmed "A Chinese Odyssey" during the day and started preparing for the filming of the second half of "A Chinese Odyssey" at night.
The first half has almost been filmed to the end, and the final battle between the Bull Demon King and the White Bone Demon and the Spider Demon is about to begin.
The shooting is expected to take about ten days.
Yes.
By the end of September, the first half was basically completed.
The shooting of the first half was actually quite smooth, but the shooting of the second half was definitely more than twice as difficult as the first half.
There are a series of action scenes, as well as some rivalry scenes between the characters.
These things are very challenging for everyone's acting skills, so Lu Yuan spent much more time on the script than the first part...
When Lu Yuan was busy until about ten o'clock in the evening, he rubbed his swollen head and leaned back in the chair.
In the past, Lu Yuan would study English for a while at this time, but today Lu Yuan found that he had no interest in learning English at all.
Even if he forced himself to read English books, Lu Yuan felt like he had no energy at all.
It seems that I am mentally exhausted.
He rubbed his head again.
I checked online...
After checking this out, Lu Yuan became a little panicked.
It is said on the Internet that this is a sign of kidney deficiency!
Oh shit!
The more Lu Yuan read, the more he felt that the symptoms described online were very similar to his current situation...
Did I suffer from kidney deficiency due to staying up too late?
this……
When Lu Yuan thought of this, he shuddered suddenly, and then the joke that Wang Jinxue had told him before appeared in his mind.
Be careful of baldness if you stay up too late!
Damn it!
I should…
No way, he's bald?
Then he quickly took out a mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. When he saw his jet-black hair, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately...
Not bald yet.
No, no, I must not go to bed so late anymore.
What should I do if I have kidney deficiency?
call!
Just when Lu Yuan decided to have a good sleep, his phone rang.
It was not a call from Wang Jinxue, but a call from Forrest, the head of Lu Yuan's Hollywood company Huaxin Brothers.
"boss……"
"Forrest, what's wrong?"
"Boss...I wrote a script...can I...make a movie?"
"Script? What script?"
"It's just a horror movie... it's not expensive..."
"Horror movie?"
"Um……"
