"Guo'er..."
"aunt……"
"Cut! This scene is done. Everyone, take a break. Director Xu, could you come over and see if there are any scenes that need to be reshot?"
As the assistant director, Lao Zhou had become familiar with Xu Lu's filming habits after filming "Summer's Depression," so he took the initiative to ask.
Once Xu Lu gets into filming mode, he never slacks off.
He quickly walked over and glanced at the footage he had just filmed.
He then called over the special effects crew and instructed them:
"See those? These are the areas where we'll be using special effects. What I need to see is..."
The crew, including both staff and actors, were already used to this kind of scene.
Unlike other film crews, the special effects team joined the crew of The Condor Heroes from the very beginning of filming.
Whenever Xu Lu finishes filming a scene and feels that post-production special effects are needed, he will communicate with the special effects staff on the spot.
He continued until the other party understood his intentions.
Meanwhile, the actors, who had been exhausted from the day's work, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Return of the Condor Heroes" is, after all, a martial arts film, and it uses a lot of wire work, which is a test of the actors' physical strength.
Thanks to the fact that everyone had undergone a week of martial arts training before the official filming, the filming progress was greatly accelerated.
"Sister Yifei, your performance just now was so good! It felt like I was really in a martial arts world!"
Yang's fans, who had already developed a very good relationship with Liu Yifei, leaned over and said enviously.
Liu Yifei smiled and said modestly:
"No, compared to Director Xu, my acting skills are far inferior. I relied entirely on him to guide me just now."
Moreover, I felt my movements were somewhat stiff while I was in the air, far less fluid than Mr. Xu's.
Hearing this, Dilraba suddenly spoke up:
"Yifei, you absolutely mustn't compare yourself to Xu Lu in these areas. He's a martial arts master, and his fighting skills are unmatched by ordinary people. As for his acting skills, well, they're the same!"
"Yes, Brother Xu is really amazing."
Yang Mi nodded, then suddenly said:
"I thought the plot of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' was mostly about love and romance, but I didn't expect it to be so exciting."
I'm really looking forward to filming my scenes, but I don't know how things will turn out. Sigh, I'm a little depressed.
Because in the current storyline of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes,' the character I'm supposed to play, 'Guo Xiang,' hasn't even been born yet!"
Pfft!
Upon hearing this, the women around them nodded in agreement.
To be honest, many of them haven't even started performing yet.
After all, in the first half of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "Little Dragon Girl" occupied a lot of screen time, followed by "Huang Rong" and others.
For example, Reba, who played 'Wanyan Ping', the actress who played 'Yelü Yan', and the actress who played 'Gongsun Lu'e' all appeared later in the story.
On the contrary, characters like 'Lu Wushuang' and 'Cheng Ying' appeared a little earlier.
Of course, Li Mochou, one of the female characters with the strongest combat power in the show, actually appears even earlier.
Xu Lu's side.
After communicating with the special effects team, he took advantage of a break to go to the side and take out his phone to talk.
Everyone was used to this scene, because Director Xu had been this busy lately.
But Dilraba was the first to notice something was wrong.
Because she noticed that although Xu Lu was talking into his phone, he wasn't actually listening.
So... what exactly is this guy doing?
Thinking of this, Reba curiously reached out to see what Xu Lu was doing.
Unfortunately, Xu Lu wouldn't let anyone sneak up on him, and he saw Dilraba approaching immediately.
"What are you doing, you little rascal, sneaking around like that!"
"I wasn't doing anything, I just wanted to see what you were talking to yourself on the phone about. Don't tell me you were on the phone!"
Dilraba, having been caught red-handed, simply asked him directly.
Xu Lu smiled, handed the phone to the other person, and said:
"See for yourself, and you'll know what I'm doing."
"What is it? Why are you being so mysterious? Can't you just tell me directly?"
Dilraba rolled her eyes, but still took the phone, looked down at it, and muttered to herself:
"Chapter Twenty, The Greatest Hero..."
She quickly flipped through several pages, her eyes widening with each page she read.
After a long while, she looked at Xu Lu and said:
"Xu Lu, this...this looks so much like the 'Condor Heroes' we filmed! The characters are all the same!"
"Of course it's similar, because it's also called 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'."
Xu Lu grabbed the phone and said with a matter-of-fact expression.
Reba was startled, then suddenly came to her senses and exclaimed in surprise:
"You mean... this is the novel version of the plot for the TV series we're filming? My God..."
So, all that talking to yourself on your phone just now was actually you writing a novel about The Return of the Condor Heroes?
"That's right!"
Xu Lu nodded and said:
"So now you know how hard I'm working, right? Even a genius like me is working this hard, and you, a girl with mediocre talent, still have the nerve to slack off all day?"
"You...who's mediocre? Besides...besides, I've been working really hard, okay? I've been memorizing my lines every day."
Dilraba was in a terrible predicament; she was even speaking incoherently.
...
Meanwhile, several people over there were watching what was happening here.
Everyone was clearly very curious, and the mischievous Yang Mi was the first to whisper:
"What do you think Sister Reba and Brother Xu Lu are talking about?"
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
Yang Mi's eyes darted around, and he immediately said:
"So you all actually want to know, right? How about we draw lots, and whoever draws the lot gets to eavesdrop..."
"Hey, hey, don't go! Don't... What's going on? Are all these older sisters so smart?"
Seeing that everyone around him had left before he could even finish his suggestion, Yang Mi muttered to himself, somewhat puzzled.
...
As time went by, the filming of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' proceeded smoothly.
During this time, 'Charlotte' apparently won some kind of award.
Xu Lu didn't collect it himself, but asked Feng Xiaoxia to do it for him.
His mind is now focused on 'The Condor Heroes'.
It must be said that filming a TV series is more complicated than filming a movie, mainly because the plot is much more complex.
As a result, the filming time was much longer than when filming 'Charlotte's Depression'.
During this period, the crew members also took a few more days off because of the upcoming Chinese New Year.
After the New Year, the actors, still carrying the festive spirit, returned to the film crew to begin the intense filming.
Because everyone feels that the plot of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' is coming to an end, and now it should be the final stage.
Just then, news finally came from Feng Xiaoxia's side: the female singer who could sing high notes had finally been found.
