Xu Zhixuan finally understood why the filming of the twelve zodiac animals took more than a year. Just the scene of Cheng Long in the castle alone took half a month. It could be said that it was basically Cheng Long's one-man show. If there was anything that he wasn't satisfied with, he would have to redo it!
"Zhixuan, you have been training your position for so long. Remember, you must park your car well. Do you have any problems with that?"
Today, it was finally Xu Zhixuan's first scene. Chen Xunqi was still worried about Xu Zhixuan, so he reminded Xu Zhixuan again. It was just a small problem, and it was too easy for Xu Zhixuan. However, no one knew about it, so Xu Zhixuan could only humbly accept the advice.
Lu Huiguang walked over and patted Xu Zhixuan's shoulder. "Don't think too much about it. Just show the results of your training over the past few days!" Lu Huiguang felt that the task of teaching Xu Zhixuan was too easy. As long as he repeated it a few times and tested it a few times, he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
Under Chen Xunqi's command, Xu Zhixuan immediately reversed the car and arrived before Cheng Long landed. He successfully completed Xu Zhixuan's instructions. However, the first time, the people from Raveya made a mistake. When Cheng Long entered the car through the sunroof, his movements were a little imperfect. Because of this, they had to redo it after a few minutes of preparation.
"Well done!" Cheng Long patted Xu Zhixuan's shoulder. Xu Zhixuan did a good job parking the car. If it wasn't for the mistake of the people from Raveya, the scene would have been completed in one take. Cheng Long's impression of Xu Zhixuan was getting better.
"It's my duty!" Xu Zhixuan smiled. He was calm about Cheng Long's praise.
The second take was very successful. After that, Xu Zhixuan filmed a scene where he received Jackie Chan's order. Then, everyone started to move on, because the scenes in the castle had been completed. The next scene was the boathouse on the Seine River. Jackie Chan had given Xu Zhixuan enough scenes to make his appearance.
"How is it?"
Xu Zhixuan nodded. Just now, he had rehearsed with the extras, and it was not a very intense and dangerous action scene, so for him, it was still very easy. In the face of Chen Xunqi's question, he confidently replied, "Director, I think it's enough!"
"Good. Let's get into position and try to pass."
Long got out of the car............ the fight scene in the boathouse... it......................... the fight scene in the boathouse........... it........... it......
...... s.................. it. . "Chen Xunqi didn't expect Xu Zhixuan to be so good. During the fight, Xu Zhixuan's expression changed according to his movements. Many action stars were called fighting stars because of this. They were good at fighting, but when you looked at their faces and expressions, you would know that it was almost the same face.
Perhaps it was because of Xu Zhixuan's bravery, the scenes that Jackie Chan joined later went very smoothly. Originally, they had applied for a week's lockdown on the boat, but now, they only needed half a day to finish all the scenes in the boat.
"Did you really fight just now?" Zhang Lanxin couldn't tell if the fight was real or fake. Unlike Cheng Long's fight scenes, Xu Zhixuan's movements made it easy for the onlookers to misunderstand that Xu Zhixuan had really fought.
Xu Zhixuan took the towel from Lim Yoon-jin's hands and asked disdainfully, "If I really hit them, do you think those foreign actors would still be able to stand up?" Although Xu Zhixuan's moves were fierce, he didn't use much strength.
"Oh, okay!" Zhang Lanxin was dumbfounded. She felt that she had asked such a childish question. Not to mention Xu Zhixuan's fighting skills, those foreign actors couldn't have hit Xu Zhixuan without complaining. A few days ago, something like this happened. Cheng Long's careless move caused a foreign actor to get injured. He was immediately warned by the French Actors' Union. In the end, he had to pay for the medical expenses.
"You brat, you still don't understand what is reality and what is acting!" Yao Xingtong sat next to Zhang Lan. She could not help but feel sorry for Zhang Lan. This girl was always forgetful, especially after seeing Jackie Chan fight with her own eyes. However, when she saw it on the director's monitor, she would get the wrong impression again.
Zhang Lanxin stuck out her tongue and said shyly, "I just forgot. It's all because I saw it on the director's monitor. It felt so real!"
"What are you talking about?" Liao Fan asked with a smile as he walked over with a bottle of water in his hand. He casually tossed one to Xu Zhixuan and sat down.
Xu Zhixuan shrugged and replied, "Besides, this brat is so young and her memory is so bad. What will she do when she gets old?" In fact, Xu Zhixuan himself knew why his action scenes felt so real. It was also because of his style. Unlike Cheng Long's comedic scenes, his action scenes were clean and neat, creating the illusion of a real fight.
"What's wrong with you again?"
Zhang Lanxin, this brat, to put it nicely, was a little naive! To put it bluntly, she was heartless. She was like a blank piece of paper that had never come into contact with the dark side of the entertainment industry. So, under the circumstances where their personalities were compatible, the few main actors got along well with her. Especially Liao Fan and Xu Zhixuan, they practically treated her like a little sister.
"What are you talking about? I just asked a question! What does it have to do with memory? Brother Xu's action scenes did look like a real fight. Brother Liao, don't you think so? " When Zhang Lanxin saw Liao Fan, she started to show off again. In terms of relationship, she was naturally Liao Fan, who she had spent the most time with, followed by Xu Zhixuan. This was also the result of Xu Zhixuan bribing her with food.
Liao Fan smiled. When he was training with Xu Zhixuan in the gymnasium, he had already noticed this problem. He had also consulted Xu Zhixuan before, but Xu Zhixuan's method was not suitable for him. Not to mention that he did not have a foundation in martial arts, just Xu Zhixuan's experience was not something he could compare to. One must know that Xu Zhixuan had honed himself between life and death. He had already reached the point where he could retract his fist freely. It looked like he was hitting someone with a lot of force, but he only hit a certain point.
"You should learn more from Zhixuan. I guarantee that you will enjoy endless benefits!"
When Zhang Lanxin heard this again, she shook her head disdainfully and said proudly, "I don't need to. I am the champion!" In fact, she just could not put down her pride. Although she could hang out with Xu Zhixuan at other times, when it came to martial arts, Zhang Lanxin's self-esteem had suffered a huge blow when she was defeated in one move.
Therefore, when she got along with Xu Zhixuan, Zhang Lanxin never mentioned this matter. Although she had already acknowledged Xu Zhixuan's strength, it did not mean that Zhang Lanxin would admit defeat in this aspect. One must know that the national champion of the 55kg Taekwondo class was obtained by defeating the country's elites. It was not easy for her, who had grown up in a competitive environment, to admit defeat so easily.
"Alright, our Lanxin is the national champion. It's not a joke!" Xu Zhixuan knew Zhang Lanxin's sensitive area. Under normal circumstances, Xu Zhixuan would almost never mention this. Liao Fan also knew this, but he had not paid attention just now. He had blurted it out for Zhang Lanxin's sake. Now that Xu Zhixuan had given him a way out, he went with the flow and said, "That's right. She is the best in our country."
Although Zhang Lanxin knew that her two brothers did not want to embarrass her, she was no longer a child. Her ten-year career on the national team had caused her to develop this unyielding character. Even if she wanted to change it, it was not something that could be solved in a short period of time.
"Let's go. The director has called for us!"
Xu Zhixuan said to Yao Xingtong. There was a scene where they were caught and taken to the police station, but the shooting location was not far away. It was just a few hundred meters away in a house that had been transformed into a police station. As for the application to shoot in the police station, it was rejected because of the lack of time, so they had to arrange it themselves.
For the rest of the scenes, Xu Zhixuan skillfully played the role of a bystander. All he had to do was make some expressions and actions. After a few retakes, this scene was passed. It could be said that it was unexpectedly smooth. However, Xu Zhixuan and the others knew that this was just moving the easier scenes forward. The real test had yet to come.
It took the crew two months in Paris, from the layout to the shooting. Xu Zhixuan had seen Cheng Long's requirements for excellence. Except for Xu Zhixuan's solo scenes, which were often passed in a few takes, which was very suitable for his reputation as the best actor, the others were all criticized by Cheng Long. Especially Zhang Lanxin, who was acting for the first time, could be described as complaining incessantly.
It was not a problem to ask her to punch or kick, but it was difficult to ask her to make expressions. Everyone knew that Zhang Lanxin had almost no acting experience before. Her acting skills had only been learned after she had retired from the national team. Cheng Long, who was always striving for excellence, was naturally very dissatisfied.
In the end, Zhang Lanxin took the first step and found Xu Zhixuan to ask for advice on how to act. After all, when it came to acting skills, Xu Zhixuan was the best actor she knew in the crew. How could he be the best actor if he was not good enough?
Under Xu Zhixuan's guidance, Zhang Lanxin quickly completed Cheng Long's requirements and barely passed. After all, Cheng Long also knew that Zhang Lanxin was recommended by the investor. He knew that she had no acting experience at all. In fact, he even treated her as a vase from the beginning, as long as she did not drag him down in the action scenes. He did not expect that under Xu Zhixuan's guidance, uh, teaching, she would improve so quickly. At the very least, she did not have the same expression.
"Xu Zhixuan, let's go out for supper!" It was the last night in Paris. The next day, the crew would move to the next country. One had to know that the film's locations included Paris, Beijing, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, Latvia, and so on.
This was also the reason why the film took more than a year in her previous life. It took a lot of time just to set up the theater in each country. However, all this was not within Xu Zhixuan's consideration, because he had received a task that was a little difficult for him.
