Chapter 186 Fighting Scene
The money was in place, and the filming started quickly.
There weren't many literary scenes to begin with, so Xu Rui's acting practice during this period was not in vain. After putting on makeup, he carried the gray big bag on his back and walked on the road, looking around. He was very energetic, but he didn't seem to have seen much of the world, and he was even cautious when crossing the road.
Nie Peisheng was supervising from the side, watching his performance with great satisfaction.
Xu Rui held the note in his hand, which was the address of his relative's residence. He asked along the way and finally found the alley where his relative's house was.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the alley, he saw a group of people smashing a small noodle shop. The couple who ran the noodle shop begged outside, but the smashers became more and more arrogant.
Seeing Xu Rui standing not far away and staring at them, one of the gang stopped his hand, with a savage expression, and shouted: "What are you looking at? Get out of here."
However, Xu Rui's eyes became tighter and tighter, as if he was firmly fixed on him.
The man was a little scared by being stared at, and quickly pulled his companion beside him: "Is that kid sick!"
After being shouted by his companion, the others turned to Xu Rui, and saw Xu Rui staring at them straight, slowly walked over, and cursed: "If you look again, I'll dig out your eyes."
"Why are you smashing people's shops!" Xu Rui said in a deep voice.
The leader of the group took a look and shook his wrist: "Hey, where did this bastard come from? He's so stupid, trying to stand up for justice."
After saying that, he suddenly swung his hand that had just swung his wrist, and was about to slap Xu Rui's face.
But his hand swung in the air, and Xu Rui took a half step back to avoid it.
"Fuck, you dare to hide!" This man was like a tyrannical bully, not even allowing others to dodge, and immediately swung another slap, "Try to hide again."
This time Xu Rui didn't dodge, and directly held his wrist, and pulled back with his other hand.
With a loud slap, the opponent was stunned, and then he became furious: "I will kill you!"
Then a group of people came towards Xu Rui aggressively.
At first, Xu Rui still carried his big luggage bag, blocked left and right, and hit back a few punches from time to time, giving these people a little punishment.
Unexpectedly, this group of people saw that they could not take down a rural boy after besieging together, and actually picked up weapons.
Xu Rui was forced to drop the bag on his body and fight back.
Drop the bag and let go of your hands and feet, which is the second stage of the fight scene to develop more intensely. However, in the first stage alone, Xu Rui didn't know how many times he was called to stop.
The whole action scene was real. It was okay to hit the clothes, but the slaps on the face were hard for the big brother who acted. He didn't complain, but smiled bitterly: "It will be swollen in a while and I can't shoot it."
Because the first stage of the fight scene is a one-shot, the previous part will not be skipped. There is no way, so I have to shoot it over and over again.
Xu Rui made mistakes, and so did others. No matter who it was, they would start over if there was a small mistake.
Zhuo Anyun seemed to be ready to swear at any time because of the constant NGs, but he endured it. He knew very well that it was so difficult to shoot action scenes that were constantly being perfected. Many mistakes were not even considered mistakes, but the effect and martial arts aesthetics presented after the shots were not good enough, so they had to be started over.
Xu Rui was not the only one who hit others and did not get hit. He was also hit a lot, and he grimaced in pain. He had hardly been hit since he was a child.
Lu Ziliang had only thought that it would be good for Xu Rui to develop in the film and television industry. He was good-looking and good at fighting, and it was easy for the audience to see him.
But staring at this fight scene on the set made him feel terrified. He must not get hurt and affect his singing, otherwise it would be a loss.
Seeing this, he could understand why everyone likes to use special effects and slow motion to replace it. If there is a choice, how many people will fight for a job? However, he also admired the older generation of artists and martial arts substitutes. In the era when film and television technology was not so advanced, they took great risks to perform wonderful films.
"Stop, take a five-minute break." Zhuo Anyun called a stop.
Xu Rui came back and sat down to drink mineral water, and re-applied makeup if necessary. Then Gu Qing came again and stood in front of him and gestured: "In the previous set of actions, you didn't hit hard enough, and your fists were obviously soft. What's wrong? Afraid of hurting people?"
Xu Rui nodded. The group of people on the opposite side suffered more and worked harder than him. He couldn't do it later.
"If you think about it this way, the fight will end early, and you will get off work early and they will get paid early. You shoot over and over again, and they will be punched more."
"That's what I said." Xu Rui wanted to refute a few more words, but thought about it, so he stood up, waited for others to rest, and then got involved again.
After restarting the filming, there was a scene where he was about to kick a tree. He took two steps and turned around to kneel the other person in the chest. Unexpectedly, this scene almost caused an accident. Xu Rui turned around and found that he had kicked too high. This knee went to the other person's nose. He quickly twisted his body. The other person saw it and decisively hugged him. The two fell to the ground and almost got injured.
At this time, they had been shooting for almost a day. Zhuo Anyun decisively paused: "Okay, that's it for today, and continue tomorrow."
Xu Rui also breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Gu Qing stopped him when he left and said seriously: "Why didn't you just hit it just now."
Xu Rui frowned slightly: "Why did you hit it?"
Gu Qing said seriously: "When an actor encounters an emergency, as long as the director does not call a stop, you should try your best to adapt to the situation and continue the play. This is one thing. In addition, your action just now is likely to cause yourself to get injured. You are the protagonist. If he is injured, he should pay the medical expenses. Someone else can continue shooting. If you are injured, the whole crew will stop working and wait for you."
Xu Rui knew that Gu Qing's words made sense.
But just because it makes sense doesn't mean he can accept it. After all, he is a rookie in the film and television industry, so there is no need to argue with Gu Qing about who is right or wrong, so he perfunctorily said: "I know."
Gu Qing felt the four words "I dare to do it next time" after "I know" from Xu Rui's tone. He smiled and was not angry. What he just said was based on practical interests. In fact, he still admired Xu Rui's attitude of being willing to consider others.
After shooting that day, Xu Rui hurried back to take off his shirt and took a half-body photo and sent it to Yan Ran: "I fought all day!"
Yan Ran should not have finished shooting that day. It took a long time for him to reply to the message, and replied with two words: "Tough guy!"
"Don't you feel sorry for him?" Xu Rui joked.
Yan Ran immediately sent a crying kitten emoji to show his heartache.
"When will you be back?" Xu Rui asked.
"Well, I will be back in three days. I will rub it for you when I get home." Yan Ran sent another picture of the cat's paw pad.
"Oh, I'm really looking forward to it!"
Both of them were exhausted after a day of work, so they chatted briefly and went to bed early.
Xu Rui didn't expect that after a day of work, he would have to film in his dreams. However, the more he tried to work hard in his dreams, the harder it was. As a result, he was scolded by the director, and he woke up at 2:30 in the morning!
