Chapter 920: Jumping Off a Cliff (4)
Xia Siyu has filmed scenes that were shot in one take before.
For example, in the opening boat scene in "The Storm", she and Bo Yan shot it in one take. There were some monologues and some close-up shots in the later stage. Even if there was no body language, she had to use her tone and expression in a few seconds to show the differences in the characters' hearts.
She tried more in "Spring Light". However, these are all art films, and there are very few action scenes. Even in the boat scene with Bo Yan, they were still arguing at the time, but Bo Yan could lead her to act, and she didn't need to remember any movements, which was relatively easy.
But it's not easy to shoot an action movie in one take. First of all, she has to complete all the movements while taking into account the performance. Moreover, it's a group play, and everyone has to perform well, without any mistakes. The greater difficulty is that the risk factor of this scene is very high. Jumping off the cliff in this scene is just the final result. Before that, there is a long action scene, and it is shot outdoors.
Compared with Zhang Fan's performance at that time, it is actually more difficult now. Because the weather is colder, the operation of some machines will be affected a little. There is also: rainy and snowy weather.
The recent cold wave is cold on the one hand, and the strong wind is not conducive to filming. The most difficult thing is the rain and snow. The actors have to jump up and down on the narrow mountain road, and it is difficult to hold the wire. Now it is raining and snowing. If the feet slip accidentally, it is unlikely to fall to death, but injuries are certain.
But shooting a fight scene on a snowy day will be very exciting. If it is the original team, the original heroine Zhang Fan, Director Ji still has the confidence to persuade her to shoot this scene, but now it is Xia Siyu.
Although during this period, he has seen Xia Siyu's dedication and ability. Although Xia Siyu is not from the martial arts industry, she learned dance and danced the national standard dance. Her body flexibility and posture are no problem. She also practiced boxing and looked fit. The most important thing is that she has a reputation for being tough, and the audience can believe that an actress who beats people in the street can play such a neat female patrolman without any sense of disobedience.
But without foundation, there is no foundation. Zhang Fan was injured before, not to mention now.
And Xia Siyu is a top star. It doesn't mean that her life is more precious than Zhang Fan, but that her company and she may ask for more in these matters.
Unexpectedly, Xia Siyu agreed to all conditions and was willing to act by herself. She would not use a double unless it was absolutely necessary.
To prepare to act by herself, she must practice more. She has been on the set in recent days, and she has gone through the movements taught by the martial arts instructor over and over again. Not only does she have to practice, but other male protagonists, male supporting actors, and various extras who acted opposite her have also taken to the stage. If it weren't for this event, she wouldn't even ask for leave to come.
"Actually..."
Qin Baizhou wanted to say something, but he swallowed it in the end. As an agent, he certainly hopes that his artists will work very hard. But as an agent, he also hopes that the artists can play their "advantages" more and make the most money in the shortest time.
Today's advertiser is really optimistic about the cooperation with Xia Siyu. This business is worth tens of millions. It didn't require her to waste much time, but she just pushed the money she earned away in order to film.
