Chapter 119 Shock
When playing Zhou Bijun, Hu Xiaoxiao acted according to the script. Basically, he did not play much personal role, and only served to add icing on the cake.
Even so, the performance still amazed the director and others.
Now, Hu Xiaoxiao has fully exerted her strength. She is so agile and graceful in the air, making it look like she is doing something effortless. Naturally, people ignore the wires on her body and mistakenly think they are seeing a fairy flying freely in the air.
The elegance in her every gesture is so captivating that one can't take their eyes off her.
This is him in casual clothes. I wonder how good he would look if he wore a costume.
As a professional martial arts instructor, even though Hu Xiaoxiao hadn't put on the costume yet, Nie Jinlong could already clearly picture the overall effect of the costume in his mind. The more he looked, the more his heart was shaken, as if something was about to explode from his mind.
Before seeing Hu Xiaoxiao's performance, Nie Jinlong couldn't imagine how Murong Qianluo's play would be designed. After all, it is difficult for people to imagine something they have never seen before.
But now, seeing Hu Xiaoxiao performing freely and casually in the air, his inspiration suddenly became like a riverbank with a hole in it, extremely fast, and clear and profound images flashed through his mind one after another.
An unprecedented and wonderful imagination appeared in his mind. If only he could turn it into reality—no, there was no if! Hu Xiaoxiao could definitely do it and act out the most romantic imagination in his mind!
That scene must have been unprecedentedly shocking.
Nie Jinlong could hardly contain his excitement. He felt that he was about to create a legend, the most legendary action performance in the history of martial arts, which would surely be recorded as the most dazzling achievement in the history of martial arts design.
Nie Jinlong even felt that he was not working at this moment, but creating art.
He makes art successful, and Hu Xiaoxiao makes him successful!
Nie Jinlong's face was full of excitement, and the look he gave Hu Xiaoxiao was even gentler than the look he gave his own daughter.
When Hu Xiaoxiao finished her performance and untied the wires, Nie Jinlong excitedly walked over, his voice trembling. "Excellent, very good! Xiaoxiao, just wait! I'm going to choreograph the most exciting and stunning martial arts scenes for you! I'm going to make you an instant star!"
Mingxu was listening and interrupted, "Teacher, I'm the leading actor. Why don't I get to have the most exciting and amazing martial arts scenes?"
Nie Jinlong suddenly woke up, looked Mingxu up and down, and nodded, "Yes! That's right! Your fighting scenes also need to be redesigned. The previous ones were too bland. You need to have some exciting wire-wrap scenes. Starting tomorrow, you'll be training on wires!"
Mingxu was just joking, but who knew they'd actually add some fighting scenes to his routine? He's already training hard, so is this going to increase the burden?
"Teacher, can we not do that?" Mingxu refused tentatively.
"Of course not!" Nie Jinlong said flatly, "You're the male lead, so you can't be perfunctory in your fighting scenes. You can't have the female lead Murong Qianluo flying in the sky like a swan while the male lead Long Yijiang chases after her like a toad on the ground. How can that be justified?"
Mingxu imagined the scene: It was indeed inappropriate.
Okay, let’s practice. It’s impossible that Xiaoxiao works so hard but he is so bad, right?
It has to be about equal, right?
Mingxu was also aroused by Hu Xiaoxiao's wonderful performance and had the wirework master tie the wire to him and started practicing immediately.
Nie Jinlong was inspired and designed a series of martial arts scenes for Murong Qianluo and showed them to the director.
The director is Shao Yitao, who last filmed "The Grandmaster".
After reviewing Nie Jinlong's martial arts choreography, Director Shao expressed his hesitation. "It's indeed brilliant, and novel, and you could say it's unprecedented. But can the actors perform it? Acting can't just rely on imagination; the actors also need to be able to keep up."
Nie Jinlong directly guaranteed, "All of my martial arts designs were thought up after watching Hu Xiaoxiao's performance. I guarantee that there is nothing Hu Xiaoxiao can't perform, except what you can't think of. Director Shao, you've found a treasure to have Hu Xiaoxiao film your movie."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Shao Yitao was skeptical, but Hu Xiaoxiao's previous performance was indeed outstanding. "I need to go and see it to make sure Hu Xiaoxiao can perform it. Murong Qianluo's scenes mostly involve wirework, which is already hard on actors. The moves you designed are too difficult. If one mistake is made, it could easily lead to an accident."
"Then go and take a look." Nie Jinlong immediately took Shao Yitao to the training room. Mingxu was still training, holding a long sword, hanging on a wire and hitting around, practicing various difficult moves.
Shao Yitao couldn't help but stop and watch Mingxu's fighting scene with a smile on his face. "Mingxu's fighting scene is very brilliant. I can't believe this kid has improved so quickly."
Nie Jinlong took a few glances. If he had not seen Hu Xiaoxiao's wire-play before, he would have been surprised by Mingxu's progress.
But now, apart from Wushan’s clouds, I’ve seen better ones, and then I look at Mingxu - it’s just like this.
"Take a look at Xiaoxiao's first." Nie Jinlong found Hu Xiaoxiao, who was holding a rope and thinking of several tricks to use it in the play. "Xiaoxiao, show it to Director Shao."
Hu Xiaoxiao was cheered up when he saw the director. The director's decision-making power sometimes exceeded Charlie's. If the director said he wanted to add more scenes and shots, Charlie had to respect that.
After all, they are professionals.
Hu Xiaoxiao immediately asked the wire artist to tie the wire for her again, then picked up her rope and performed all the tricks she had just figured out.
In the performance just now, Hu Xiaoxiao relied mainly on experience.
This time, in addition to his experience, Hu Xiaoxiao also added his own artistic effects. This performance was more enjoyable to watch, the movements were smoother, and it was more in line with the presentation of the camera. The effect was so stunning that Shao Yitao was stunned.
Nie Jinlong was also stunned, "Xiaoxiao, how come your martial arts scenes are even better?"
Hu Xiaoxiao landed, untied the wire, and said to Nie Jinlong, "Teacher, I think the fight scene at Qiushui Villa could use two more sections: one where he strikes down from high above to increase the visual pressure, and one where he soars up from the ground like a tornado into the air...
Also, in the Black Dragon Gang segment, the original fighting scenes on the boat weren't exciting enough, so they could add some fighting scenes on the water. I could use Qinggong to fly on the water like this..."
Hu Xiaoxiao openly added more scenes to his role in front of the director.
But Director Shao listened and nodded continuously, thinking it made sense.
Wonderful drama must be included.
Too many shots?
Not a problem, just add more episodes.
The original series was scheduled for 40 episodes, so how about adding 5 more? If 5 episodes are not enough, adding 10 episodes is not a problem.
