Cloud Peak Scenery
Chapter 176 Director, This Saber is Too Cool
Having arrived in such a beautiful place as Jiangnan,
Lu Xuan felt that even the air had become much gentler.
His group drove directly to an ancient costume film and television city.
This place was the first choice for many film crews to shoot scenes.
Because they had just arrived, Lu Xuan told the crew to rest and wait at the hotel.
He and Li Hao went out to choose specific locations for filming.
Although they had communicated beforehand,
the actual location still needed to be confirmed on site.
"Are you sure this is the place?"
Li Hao saw that Lu Xuan was very satisfied with this area
and immediately asked.
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Li Hao quickly went to negotiate the price with the person in charge.
When Li Hao came back, he signaled a number to Lu Xuan.
"How did you get it so cheap?"
Logically speaking, three months' rent would be a huge expense.
But Li Hao had actually negotiated a low, friendly price.
This made Lu Xuan even more satisfied.
The next day,
Lu Xuan instructed the crew to quickly set up the equipment at the filming location.
Once everything was set up, they could start filming as soon as possible.
Shooting one day less was equivalent to wasting a day's worth of money.
Funding was still very important.
Fortunately, everyone's work ability was very strong, so there was no need to worry.
In half a day, the entire filming location was arranged.
The artists had already arrived.
They had come early to get dressed up
and waited on the side, going over their scripts.
"Ready to start filming!"
With Lu Xuan's order, the actors all took their positions.
This scene was a fight scene.
The actors who were fighting before had been professionally trained.
But they couldn't be captured naturally by the camera.
Several times during close-ups, they deviated from the original position of the camera.
Even tracking shots couldn't keep up.
"Um, pause for a moment, Lin Mofan, you're doing very well, but when you punch, if you could go..."
Lu Xuan called him over,
looking at the replay.
The replay clearly showed that Lin Mofan had retracted his strength when he punched just now.
Causing a fight scene that was originally full of explosiveness to instantly lose its flavor.
"Director, it's indeed my problem. I should punch first, and then try to go a little to the left, facing that lens..."
Lin Mofan also quickly reacted.
He had some trouble controlling himself when he was suspended by the wire.
It took more effort than usual.
But now that he heard what Lu Xuan said, he instantly felt much more relieved.
"Director, I'll try again!"
Lin Mofan went down there and rehearsed roughly.
Filming started again.
Lin Mofan no longer retracted his strength when he punched, and you could even feel the force of the punch through the screen.
The people he was fighting were all professional martial arts performers.
They were all trained experts.
Shang Lin was also watching from the side, watching the wonderful performance here.
He couldn't help but sigh,
"The director really knows how to arrange things. I talked for a long time, but he didn't understand."
"Maybe our directions are different."
Lu Xuan didn't think it was Shang Lin's problem.
It was just that their directions were different.
And in reality, adjustments had to be made again based on the actor's own state.
Looking at the scene being filmed,
Lu Xuan called "Cut!" and everyone excitedly clapped and cheered.
Because this fight scene was perfect and wonderful.
"This is too cool! Is this the charm of kung fu?"
The staff didn't understand at first
why Lu Xuan wanted to make such a movie.
But now!
Seeing Lin Mofan's performance, they only had one word, amazing!
They could even imagine
that after the release, it would be packed!
Such an intense and explosive fight scene, and it was all real fighting!
Not only was it real fighting, but it was also professionally trained martial arts.
It made people's blood want to boil.
Wanting to fight along with them.
Because Lin Mofan had a lot of fight scenes today,
he was punching in the morning and showing off his swordsmanship in the afternoon.
Looking at Lu Xuan, his eyes were a little subtle.
"Director, this sword is so cool!"
"If you like it, I'll give you one after filming."
"That's great!"
This sword looked really cool, but the ones they used here were all unsharpened.
And Lu Xuan wouldn't dare to give him a sharpened one.
If it weren't for the fact that this thing was a prop, it probably wouldn't be able to be transported.
"I feel that this slashing action is a bit awkward, because after slashing, you have to turn around, and according to human inertia, you really can't do it."
Now Lin Mofan was holding a real sword.
Although it wasn't sharpened, the force was still there.
He held it in his hand, and although he could make the movements,
he felt that several movements were not coherent.
It was like after a smooth flow, it suddenly got stuck.
Completely unable to fight wonderfully.
Lu Xuan also noticed this problem
and called Lin Mofan over in time.
He and the martial arts instructor studied it for a long time.
"After slashing, don't turn around immediately, come with a horizontal slashing motion, you feel it, following the inertia of the entire horizontal motion, you naturally make a rotation."
Lin Mofan heard this and tried it roughly.
This time it was indeed much smoother.
The martial arts instructor said from the side, "The most important thing in this drama is the fight scenes. As long as the fighting is exciting enough, it will be half successful."
"So Lin Mofan will have to work hard."
"No, no, no, director and teacher, you've all worked hard. I'm just responsible for helping you show the results."
Lin Mofan quickly said with a smile.
He felt that when he held the sword in his hand, he could more truly realize
that he was the person in the plot.
Love, hate, and grudges, as if they were all being realized one by one before his eyes.
Lin Mofan and Lu Xuan communicated again.
The situation was much better.
Lin Mofan looked at Lu Xuan in disbelief.
"I really didn't expect that I could fight so well!"
"I feel like looking at this picture, I'm like a martial arts master!"
Shang Lin laughed out loud from the side.
"You are a martial arts master here!"
Lu Xuan nodded along with him.
The day's filming ended.
Lu Xuan returned to the hotel, and Su Yao hugged Lu Xuan's arm.
"Let's go out for a walk."
"Okay!"
"Where do you want to go?"
Su Yao felt that Lu Xuan had indeed asked a good question at this time.
She actually didn't follow Lu Xuan to the crew today.
After all, she didn't have any scenes today.
She had been in the hotel room.
She asked the service staff, and they all mentioned several places.
But those were all scenic spots.
She and Lu Xuan simply didn't have time to go.
Su Yao pouted and hugged Lu Xuan's waist.
She said coquettishly, "I just specially checked the travel guide on my phone. There are so many delicious things here!"
"Then let's go eat together."
Lu Xuan chuckled.
He saw Su Yao click a few times on her phone.
She pointed to several places above.
"I want to go to all of these, but I heard that there's a night market on this street! There are so many kinds of snacks, why don't we go eat snacks!"
