When they saw that it was a new stunt double performing, the onlookers didn't take it too seriously.
Moreover, apart from a few people including Brother Long, no one else at the scene knew the difficulty of that combo.
But as soon as Xu Lu moved, everyone present widened their eyes in surprise.
Especially when Xu Lu executed the most difficult aerial flip and side kick, some people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
Holy crap!
"CUT!"
The director, who had been sitting behind the camera intently watching the footage, stood up angrily.
"Who spoke? Who just spoke?"
"I'm sorry, Director, I couldn't help myself just now. I apologize to everyone. I'll treat you all to drinks later!"
The second male lead in the crew raised his hand with an embarrassed expression.
Upon seeing that it was a fairly well-known second male lead, the director finally stopped his outburst, but still kept a straight face and said:
"Remember, from now on, no one is allowed to make a sound during filming. Anyone who can't keep their mouth shut, get out of here!"
However, when the director turned around and looked at Xu Lu, who had returned to his original position, his expression became much more amiable:
"Young man, do you want to take a break? It's alright, it wasn't your fault just now, you did a great job."
"Thank you, director, but I don't need to rest, I can continue filming!"
Xu Lu smiled, indicating that he was alright.
The director didn't insist. He nodded to Director Chen and then sat back down behind the camera.
The subsequent filming went quite smoothly, especially Xu Lu's stunt double, whose movements were performed exceptionally well, and it could be said that they got it right in one take.
Just to be on the safe side, I slightly adjusted the angle and took two more shots, because I was worried that there might be some continuity errors later on.
"Card!"
As Director Chen called out that word again, it meant that Xu Lu's stunt scenes for the day were all finished. Brother Long came over and patted him on the shoulder, praising him:
"Brilliant! Xiao Xu, that set of moves just now was absolutely amazing, it will definitely be one of the highlights of this film."
By the way, I heard you have a character in this show who will have interactions with me? I'm really looking forward to your performance!
Hearing this, Xu Lu felt a bit pressured.
Ask him to perform a few kung fu moves, no matter how difficult, he can handle them with ease because his skills are already up to par.
But when it comes to acting, Xu Lu really doesn't have much experience.
He was originally an amateur actor; his previous work as an extra relied entirely on four classic tricks: 'cheering,' 'pointing and gesturing,' 'hawking,' and 'playing dead.'
Thinking of this, Xu Lu said somewhat awkwardly, "Brother Long, my acting skills might disappoint you, because I used to be an extra and never formally studied acting..."
"It's alright, it's alright. Everyone grows step by step. As long as you're willing to learn, anything is possible!"
Brother Long looked cheerful, but he quickly changed the subject, saying:
"Of course, if you really don't have any talent for acting, you can choose to develop in my stunt department, which is just as promising."
Brother Long really took a liking to this young man with exceptional kung fu skills, and this was the second time he had directly offered to recruit him.
Xu Lu smiled and said:
"Thank you for the encouragement, Brother Long. If that's the case, I'll consider it!"
Because he was the main character in the film, Brother Long didn't have much time to rest. After chatting with Xu Lu for a few minutes, he went back to filming.
Around noon, Xu Lu ate a boxed lunch on set.
Perhaps because Brother Long was very friendly to him, and because Director Chen was the same way, many people greeted Xu Lu.
This was a treatment he had never experienced before, not even when he was an extra or in the Ye Wen 2 crew.
It is evident that once one's own strength increases, the people one encounters become easier to get along with.
For example, when talking to a top-tier celebrity like Brother Long, everyone greets him with a smile and a calm demeanor.
...
In the afternoon, Xu Lu had scenes to film. Originally, his scenes weren't supposed to involve Brother Long, but he was actually watching from the sidelines.
Then, after Xu Lu finally finished filming all his scenes, somewhat speechless, Brother Long said:
"Xiao Xu, compared to your kung fu, your acting skills... well, they're really not that impressive."
While it's passable for a featured actor, they need to improve their acting skills to have a chance to advance further!
Having worked in the industry for many years, Brother Long's judgment is naturally accurate.
Xu Lu humbly accepted the advice and said that he would work harder to hone his acting skills in the future.
He said one thing, but what Xu Lu was thinking was something else entirely:
"Perhaps I can choose to star in a movie about acting next, and then I can acquire acting skills."
After all, there are no shortcuts to improving acting skills for others, but I'm different. If I wanted to take a shortcut, it would still be possible.
And what Brother Long said is right. If I don't improve my acting skills, my contribution to other roles in future films will always be at the 'H' level.
Therefore, even if I were to star in a film with an overall rating of S or higher, the skill ceiling I could acquire wouldn't be very high due to my own limitations.
This is something Xu Lu cares about a lot.
For example, if he has good acting skills and his contribution to a role in a martial arts movie with an overall rating of S is also S, then he can gain 100 years of internal energy.
