Chapter 265: Riding Genius

Seeing An Qi's elegant posture and coordinated hands and feet, the equestrian instructor at the side could not help but praise her.

"You ride really well. You can do such standard movements in just half a month. Not many actors in the crew can do it."

An Qi couldn't hold back her smile when she heard this. She was not the protagonist in this drama, but only a special guest actor. In addition, love&five is very popular now, and there are many notices. She usually doesn't stay on the set, and only comes when there is a play.

Although she spent a lot of money to hire a riding coach outside, the time she can really squeeze out to practice is very limited. She practiced three or four times in total, which added up to less than six hours.

Could it be that I am really a riding genius?

An Qi thought happily, completely forgetting how embarrassed she was in the previous few practices, and the coach suggested that she should not shoot it for real.

Well, isn't there such a thing in those immortal cultivation novels, that is, suddenly getting enlightened, what is called enlightenment in the cultivation world, yes, this is enlightenment.

Although Anqi's mind flashed with Malu's face and the words he said when ordering the dishes.

However, compared to believing that a dish can make people master riding skills, it is better to believe that she will have an epiphany.

The more Anqi rode, the more confident she became, and the more courageous she became. She began to tap the horse's side with her legs.

The horse under her received the rider's command and began to gallop and speed up.

The oncoming strong wind blew Anqi's hair and ancient costume in the wind.

But she didn't feel a trace of fear in her heart, but wanted to shout in the wind excitedly.

Because she could feel that the horse under her crotch was in tune with her, and the latter's every move was under her control.

A man and a horse galloped on the path, and a row of sundries appeared in front of them. They should be temporarily placed there by the props team, including sandbags and carts.

Anqi wanted to take a detour, but sensing the horse's eagerness to try, Anqi changed his mind and chose to let it go. He did not pull the reins and bravely looked straight ahead.

The equestrian instructor was the first to feel the danger. His originally smiling expression froze. He quickly jumped on the horse and wanted to catch up.

He didn't want the female star of the popular idol group love&five to get into trouble under his nose.

Even if Anqi and her team did not hold him responsible, the fans of love&five would still praise him.

However, there was a distance between the two sides, and Anqi rode fast. Even if he wanted to catch up now, it was too late.

Anqi and her horse had already arrived in front of the pile of debris, and then Anqi leaned forward, hanging in the stirrup, and the horse jumped up.

Draw a beautiful arc in the air!

Jumped over two wooden carts in one breath, and then landed safely on the ground.

Seeing this scene, the equestrian instructor who had just climbed on the horse opened his mouth wide, and the whole person looked like he had seen a ghost.

A man wearing a black vest, black-framed glasses, unshaven beard and serious expression not far away also witnessed everything that just happened.

However, he only caught a glimpse and saw a back figure, so he pulled the assistant director aside and asked, "Who was that person just now?"

"Which one?" The assistant director was communicating with the on-site producer and didn't pay attention to what happened before. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked in the direction the black vest said.

At this time, An Qi had stopped the horse. The assistant director was also responsible for the actor scheduling. He quickly recognized the person on the horse and answered.

"It's Miss An Qi from love&five. It's her turn in the next scene. I guess she's trying to get a feel for it in advance..."

He paused here. Not long ago, An Qi's assistant came to Director Xu to talk about An Qi's next horse riding scene. The assistant meant that he hoped to change it to a partial shooting, and find a small three-wheeled car to carry An Qi.

Only shoot the upper body part, and then shoot the horse separately, and put them together to form a complete horse riding scene.

This is actually a common shooting technique in the industry. Not only are many new dramas after the millennium shot this way, but also old dramas before, such as TVB's "The Legend of Tianlong", the horse riding scene was also shot with the actors sitting on a carousel.

And the chase in "The Legend of Su Qier" was also shot on a tractor.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that it can protect the actors. After all, riding a horse is a very dangerous thing, and some actors are not good at riding horses. When they ride a real horse, their whole body is tense and their expressions are stiff, instead of acting well when they relax on props.

Then it can also save costs for the crew. However, as an internationally renowned director, Director Xu has a sufficient budget and is very strict with actors. He is also a real shooting enthusiast.

In order to shoot a blasting scene, he once used 4,000 kilograms of explosives in one go, razing half of the studio to the ground.

The crew was afraid that he would go crazy one day and shoot even the killing scenes in real life.

The assistant director has been with Director Xu for 4 years, and naturally knows the latter's temper, but still persuaded him.

"Director Xu, since Miss An Qi is only a guest star and doesn't have many scenes, why don't we take a step back? A good man doesn't fight with a woman. Love&Five has many fans. Even if An Qi just shows up in the movie, at least we can get this much box office."

The assistant director raised three fingers.

However, even in the face of such temptation, Director Xu remained indifferent.

The assistant director looked bitter, but his respect for Director Xu in his heart deepened. Otherwise, he could become an international director. This persistence and pursuit are not something that young directors like them can compare to.

But later he heard Director Xu say, "Xiao Tao, what do you think about changing the heroine to An Qi?"

"Ah..." The assistant director was dumbfounded, "But, it doesn't have to be like this."

That being said, his respect for Director Xu in his heart did not decrease but increased. Otherwise, he could become an international director. This speed of embracing traffic and this ruthlessness and decisiveness of slapping himself in the face are not something that young directors like them can compare to.

However, he also noticed the female lead who was trembling with a changed face. He felt sorry for her and said hurriedly, "Xiao Yu was selected by you from tens of thousands of people. Didn't you say that she looks most like Xie Ruru?"

Director Xu touched his stubble, "But she can't ride a horse. She still can't do it after practicing for so long. It seems that she doesn't have the talent. Xie Ruru was born a horse bandit. Other things are fine, but how can she not ride a horse well? The audience has no sense of substitution. Isn't this fake at first glance? What's the matter? Is she also planning to let me shoot it with a partial close-up?"

Xiao Yu is only a junior student at the Film Academy. How can she have the courage to make demands to a big director like Director Xu like An Qi?

Hearing that Director Xu was going to replace her, she was already confused, her eyes were red, and she was looking at the assistant director with a pitiful look for help.
