Beijing, Yanjiao Equestrian Field.

[I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network →𝑡𝑤𝑘𝑎𝑛.𝑐𝑜𝑚]

Several leading actors of the "Mulan" crew are seriously training here.

Including Xiao Ming and others, they have signed contracts with the crew and have basically confirmed that they will officially join the crew in October this year and wrap up around February next year. If the training time is included, they will spend a total of 8 months on this project.

In this "impulsive" era, spending eight months, and more than four months of them are training, and finally shooting a movie is already a very serious behavior.

At least Xiao Ming, Hu Ge, Zhang Hanyu and others have not experienced such a serious crew for a long time.

But Cheng Long is used to it. After all, his movies are mainly action movies, and the preparation period is still quite long.

Today is a sunny day. The five main actors have been training here for almost two months, and they have basically mastered the skill of riding horses.

If you say that you can train a cavalryman in two months, you must be joking.

But it is not difficult to teach someone to ride a horse in two months.

Wu Yuan did not expect to train a few cavalrymen.

However, he heard from Sang Lin that the male group of "The Legend of the Gods" in "The Legend of the Gods" really learned riding skills to a very high level, and even shot arrows on horseback.

No matter how high the accuracy is, just being able to shoot arrows while riding a horse is already very impressive.

This group of men has been training since 2017, and they didn't start filming until 2019.

Wu Yuan had to admire it, and sincerely hoped that "The Legend of the Gods" would be successful.

But if you ask him whether he will invest money, he still won't.

Emotions cannot dominate rationality.

Reason told him that it was really not hopeful for this trilogy to make money.

But we should still admire what we should admire.

Ahem, let's get back to the point.

The reason why Wu Yuan could have wild thoughts in his mind now was because he was on his way to the Beijing Equestrian Center.

Not only him, he also brought Sang Lin and Sang Lin's martial arts team with him.

The reshoots of "The Three Kingdoms of the Gods" have all been completed, and the crew has also disbanded. After a month of design, Sang Lin also made a closed training process arrangement for "Mulan".

So Wu Yuan brought his martial arts team to meet his actors and welcome them to finish their equestrian training.

Near noon, the convoy arrived at the entrance of the equestrian center.

Liu Yifei, who had received the news a long time ago, took several male actors to meet Wu Yuan and others at the door.

Cheng Long had naturally left the equestrian center a long time ago. He didn't have much riding scenes in the movie, and he could ride a horse, so he didn't need to train with the group at all. One or two days of familiarity would be enough.

The main trainees are Hu Ge, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Hanyu, and Zhu Yilong, especially Zhu Yilong, a new male actor in the era of light and shadow.

The other three have more or less been exposed to circus in the past filming work and have learned some horse riding skills. Only Zhu Yilong has never ridden a horse and has to learn from scratch.

However, his talent is not bad. He can keep up with the learning progress in two months. Now he can ride a horse in a proper way.

"Where is my daughter?" Liu Yifei, who brought the male actors to meet Wu Yuan, asked about her daughter as soon as they met. Although she hadn't seen her for only half a day, she still cared about her.

"Mom is with her." Wu Yuan shrugged and explained, "Mom is worried about letting Liu Ma take care of Qingqing alone, so she stayed at home to accompany the child."

Wu Yuan hired a full-time confinement nanny to take care of his daughter. After all, neither he nor Liu Yifei could stay at home to take care of the child full-time, so hiring someone to take care of the child was a must.

However, Liu Xiaoli was not too reassured. After all, there were often news reports about nannies and babysitters bullying children on the Internet, and no one dared to bet that such a thing would not happen to them. Therefore, if Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei were not at home, she would come to see the child.

She did not need to do anything specific, but mainly kept an eye on the nanny and made sure that she did not abuse her granddaughter, so that everyone could rest assured.

"That's good." Liu Yifei was relieved, and then she talked to Wu Yuan about the topic, "Today is the last day of equestrian training."

"Are we going to do martial arts training next?"

"Yes." Wu Yuan nodded, and after greeting Huang Xiaoming and others who were walking towards them, he introduced Sang Lin and others standing behind him: "These are the main actors of "Mulan."

After that, he also introduced Huang Xiaoming and others: "This is our crew's action director and martial arts instructor Mr. Sang Lin, and the martial arts team he leads."

"In the next two months, you will follow him to conduct closed martial arts training, and master some cold weapon moves and basic martial arts moves as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, they are all carefully selected by Mr. Sang Lin and his team. They will be used when filming. Now that you have practiced well, it will be much easier when filming."

"But you don't have to start training right away. It's hard to practice equestrianism for so long. Rest for three days first, and then continue training."

"I rented a training shed at the Huairou Film and Television Base. Everyone will go there for training. However, for convenience, the next training will be closed training. You will have to eat and live at the Huairou Film and Television Base."

"Special period, special treatment."

The black swan incident that has swept China has stabilized, but large-scale screening will still be carried out every once in a while, so it is best not to run around.

Moreover, the training is most suitable for closed training. Only by devoting yourself to it can you learn quickly and well.

For this reason, Wu Yuan did not even let his wife go. He did not open a back door for Liu Yifei. She will have to eat and live at the Huairou Film and Television Base in the future.

However, Wu Yuan will often take his daughter to see her. After all, the mother is in a period of overflowing maternal love, and she can't not see the baby for two months.

Wu Yuan also privately discussed these things with Liu Yifei. His wife was still very reasonable and had no objection to this.

At this time, after introducing each other, Sang Lin took the initiative to step forward and introduced himself to Huang Xiaoming and others.

Unlike top directors like Wu Yuan who can use their faces to show off their reputation, although Sang Lin is also one of the best martial arts instructors in the industry, he is not so well-known that he can be recognized by just seeing his face or name. At least Zhang Hanyu and Zhu Yilong looked at him blankly.

So Sang Lin took the initiative to introduce his resume. There is no need to say too much. Just being a martial arts instructor in the "Embroidered Spring Blade" series is enough. After all, as the best martial arts film in the post-martial arts era, he is still quite prestigious in the industry.

When they heard that Sang Lin was the martial arts instructor of "Embroidered Spring Blade", several male actors immediately paid attention to him and greeted him repeatedly.

"Well, thank you all for your hard work next, and train well!" Wu Yuan said solemnly. (End of this chapter)
