Chapter 215 Is it worth it?
"As long as you can hold on, we'll start filming the next scene right away. In the next scene, Hu Xiaoxiao, you have to crash through the street stalls, crushing them all the way with unstoppable force. Xia Lu, you have to keep up too!"
Hu Xiaoxiao and Xia Lu both said OK, so the next shot began shooting in full swing.
As soon as the director called for action, Hu Xiaoxiao and Xia Lu immediately immersed themselves in the role and began the most thrilling scenes according to the script.
Xie Weihua knocked over the street stalls, ignoring any obstacles and crushing them with all her might. Behind her, Yamamoto Masako stared closely at the black car, accelerating again and again.
The two cars nearly collided several times in a fierce competition with many dangerous situations.
The audience outside the play didn't know what mood the people in the car were in while filming, but they were already stunned. At the moment when the two cars almost collided, they held their breath and broke out in a cold sweat.
Before they could catch their breath, they saw the jeep rushing forward recklessly like a tank. The black car in front of them drifted out after breaking the street lamp, flew through the air, and fell to the ground with a loud bang. Then it made a sharp turn and drove towards another street.
The onlookers were stunned.
Is this a filming? Is this a car accident scene? Are they all trying to kill themselves?
It's just filming, is it necessary to risk your life?
I heard the drivers were Hu Xiaoxiao and Xia Lu, both women, not stand-ins. Are women driving this hard these days? Are they this tough?
"With such a small salary, is it worth risking your life for this role?" Someone suddenly said.
The artists who heard this all nodded in agreement. The company was so stingy, paying so little, and doing such a dangerous stunt—if it went wrong, they'd either die or get injured—was it worth it?
Isn't filming like going to work? It's a day's work, whether you finish it or not. Just do it for the sake of it. It's not a movie, so there's no such thing as a huge paycheck. It's not that bad. It's just TV.
Many people thought Hu Xiaoxiao and Xia Lu were stupid, completely stupid. They were so well-known that they could still get roles even if they didn't do any dangerous actions. They were just supporting roles, so no matter how hard they tried, it wouldn't be worth it.
Someone suddenly said in the crowd, "Don't you know? It's always like this when filming with Hu Xiaoxiao."
The person who spoke had worked with Hu Xiaoxiao on "The Legend of Long Yijiang" and "Mu Guiying." While on set, they saw how hard Hu Xiaoxiao worked and how he held himself to high standards. He then encouraged the other actors to follow suit, demanding the same level of effort and hard work, to the point where several actors were nearly injured.
"Is it worth it?" someone asked him.
The man answered without hesitation: "It's worth it, very worth it."
During filming, caught up in the atmosphere, I unknowingly gave it my all. Only after it was over did I start to feel apprehensive, telling myself I never wanted to work with Hu Xiaoxiao again. This was the case when he was filming "The Legend of Long Yijiang." However, after the show aired, he experienced for the first time what it felt like to be noticed by the audience and what it felt like to be invited to participate in a promotion. When Hu Xiaoxiao's "Mu Guiying" project was approved, he was the first to sign up.
Then he continued to work hard, and now, he is finally no longer an unknown and transparent person. He has also started to gain popularity and can get roles with a lot of scenes.
He had more roles and his pay increased, and as he counted the money he got, he felt that it was all worth it.
Just as others were weighing the pros and cons, the two cars in front of them collided and flew out. They immediately threw away the thoughts of getting rich in their minds. No matter how good the money was, life was more important.
The director quickly called "cut" and went to check on the actors in the car. Even though there were invisible seatbelts under the seats, the crash was so severe that Qi Weiming couldn't help but feel nervous.
After making sure that the three people in the car were fine, Qi Weiming wiped the sweat from his forehead and prepared for the next scene.
Jiang Yu sat aside, watching the whole thing from beginning to end. She couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. She unconsciously took a sip of the herbal tea in her hand. After tasting the bitter and astringent taste, she came to her senses and asked Qi Weiming: "Do they always shoot like this?"
After Qi Weiming sat back down, he drank a large glass of water to calm himself down and said, "Xia Lu was only this aggressive today. She must have taken some medicine. But Hu Xiaoxiao is this aggressive every day."
Jiang Yu was silent for a long time before he said to Qi Weiming, "No wonder you keep adding more scenes for her. The young are formidable."
She couldn't bear to watch it like this unless there was more drama.
Qi Weiming nodded in agreement, "Young people are formidable. Young people nowadays are so daring."
He and Lin Yi, two old men, had to be forced to make progress. It was painful, but also very exciting.
How many elderly people over fifty still have the courage and confidence to make progress?
He and Lin Yi can do it.
Qi Weiming suddenly became proud of himself, so he cheered up and immediately threw himself into the new work.
After many dangerous situations, Xie Weihua took advantage of the fact that a large group of Japanese traitors were led elsewhere and did not target her and Zhao Zhenchuan, and drove out of Shanghai and headed to a remote area outside the city.
Seeing that she was about to catch the man she had always wanted, Yamamoto Masako refused to give up and pursued him relentlessly. She didn't even have time to get out of the car to make a phone call in case she lost the car. Moreover, she was extremely arrogant and believed that she could capture the seriously injured man and the broken car.
As the car drove towards the bumpy mountain road, Xie Weihua and Zhao Zhenchuan exchanged glances and the two cooperated again.
Seeing that the time had come, Zhao Zhenchuan climbed out of the car window and fired several shots at the wheels of the jeep behind him, blowing up the jeep's tires.
Masako Yamamoto stared at the car in front of her, and suddenly noticed a person coming out of the back seat window. The face was so familiar that it suffocated her.
It’s Zhao Zhenchuan!
It’s Zhao Zhenchuan!
Her suspicion was correct, it was Zhao Zhenchuan!
The object of her secret crush turned out to be the very enemy she had been searching for, a moment that shook her to the core. Add to that the sudden burst of tires, and the jeep lurched uncontrollably from side to side.
Xie Weihua in front suddenly slowed down, the rear end of the car swung backward, and then crashed into the out-of-control jeep.
There was a steep hillside on one side of the road. The jeep was hit and rolled down the hillside. The accelerator broke and a fire broke out. Masako Yamamoto, who was trapped under the car, exploded along with the jeep.
Masako Yamamoto is dead.
Xia Lu has finished filming.
“Cut!”
When Qi Weiming filmed Xie Weihua slowing down and swaying her car, about to hit the jeep, he shouted to stop.
Qi Weiming hurried over to check on Xia Lu, then checked the car. His pale face finally showed some color: "Fortunately! Fortunately, I didn't actually hit her!"
Hu Xiaoxiao had already gotten out of the car and walked over. He said to Qi Weiming confidently, "Don't worry, I know my limits. This is just right."
She was very confident in her driving skills, and to be on the safe side, she came to the location before filming and tried driving her car a few times.
For this scene, she even scrapped her car.
