Before they started shooting, they sat together and began to talk about the script. When everyone was sure that Xiao Bing's script was okay, they started shooting.
The first scene was about Xiao Bing, but Bi Tingting had not appeared yet. The first part of the movie was about Xiao Bing's fight against the God Slayers. After all, the battle between Xiao Bing and the God Slayers was earth-shattering. Almost the whole world was shocked. In the second half of the movie, Xiao Bing's life was interspersed. At the end, it was about Xiao Bing's battle against the American government. At the end, it was about Xiao Bing's safe exit.
According to common sense, there was nothing to do with the female characters. But generally, one or even several female characters were needed to act as the main plot or side plot. So it was the same in this movie. Bi Tingting played a fictional role in the movie. She was Xiao Bing's girlfriend. When Xiao Bing was facing the battle against the God Slayers, she needed to vividly express her uneasiness and fear.
And Linda played an admirer of Xiao Bing. She liked Xiao Bing and even wanted to be one of Xiao Bing's women. When Xiao Bing fell out with the American government, she had to make an extremely difficult choice.
This was one of the few movies in which Linda had a positive image. All the roles she had played in the past were basically female villains, so this was a big challenge for her.
Today, the first scene began. Xiao Bing and the eight generals of Dragon Gate fought fiercely against the people from the base of the God Slayers. The eight generals of Dragon Gate were all famous Kung Fu stars. Five of them were Asian Kung Fu superstars, three were from China, two were from Thailand and Japan, and the rest were European and American Kung Fu superstars.
Xiao Bing's actions were as smooth as flowing water. The people around him all cheered and applauded.
Although Bi Tingting, Linda and the others didn't have any scenes in the morning, they still watched Xiao Bing quietly and occasionally checked the script. This was Coppola's request. Whether they had scenes or not, everyone in the crew had to stay here every day. This was to cultivate the tacit understanding between each actor and get into the state of shooting earlier.
After shooting for the whole morning, everyone began to rest. Except for Xiao Bing, the other Kung Fu stars were all sweating. Then they kept saying, "Mr. Xiao Bing is the best. He doesn't even sweat after such a large amount of exercise."
"What do you know? Mr. Xiao is a real warrior. He is different from us. We are just acting on TV. How can we be compared?"
"That's right. Brother Xiao is not even afraid of tanks and missiles. If it were us, any tank would be able to crush us."
Coppola said with satisfaction, "Thank you for your hard work. This morning's shooting was very smooth, especially Xiao Bing. You are indeed acting as yourself. The character you played was so realistic. Apart from the fact that you are acting as yourself, you really have a solid acting foundation."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Mr. Coppola, you flatter me. I'm actually not good enough."
Coppola smiled and said, "Very good, very good. But the others still need to be a little bit stronger, especially …"
Coppola mentioned the name of the Japanese actor and secretly criticized him. The actor naturally nodded and said yes. It was not easy for Asian actors to enter Hollywood. This was his first film, so he naturally had to cherish it. Especially if he offended Director Coppola, it was equivalent to cutting off his path in Hollywood.
During the lunch break, everyone began to have lunch around the table. This lunch was specially prepared by the crew, so there was no need to order takeout. The crew was indeed very humane in this aspect.
While eating, Xiao Bing glanced at Linda subconsciously, but he didn't find that Linda treated him differently. He couldn't help but feel a little curious. When he was teased by her before, Xiao Bing thought that Linda was going to seduce his current identity after seducing his other identity. He didn't expect that Linda didn't show any other intentions. Did he think too much? Or was she playing hard to get?
While eating, Coppola said, "This afternoon's scene will be between Linda and Xiao Bing. There are not many scenes, but the performance requirements are very high. Both of you are very good actors. Try to finish the next scene this afternoon."
"Okay, I understand, Director," said Xiao Bing.
"Well, I understand, Director," said Linda.
After lunch, Xiao Bing and Bi Tingting sat together and talked. Linda was also reading the script not far away. She occasionally looked up at Xiao Bing, but did not show anything from beginning to end.
When the shooting began in the afternoon, Xiao Bing and Linda began to act together. No wonder Coppola said that there were not many scenes, but the performance requirements were very high. Because this time, Xiao Bing and Linda would roll on the bed. It was about Xiao Bing and Linda's private meeting in a hotel in the United States before the war. Linda begged Xiao Bing not to be the enemy of the United States. Xiao Bing refused her request, and then the two agreed to have sex for the last time.
Xiao Bing and Linda came to the prepared room. The camera team was ready. Xiao Bing gently knocked on the door and then walked in. Linda looked at Xiao Bing. The grief and struggle in her eyes could break a person's heart. Xiao Bing could not help but praise her in his heart. Linda's acting skills were definitely not inferior to Bi Tingting's.
In Xiao Bing's movies, she was a vicious woman who was good at making use of her beauty. But now she was playing the role of an infatuated and sexy woman, and she was just as skillful.
The director also exclaimed in admiration.
Xiao Bing walked over step by step and sat next to Linda. Then he put his hand on Linda's hand and said, "Why did you come? It's very dangerous here. "
"Then why did you come here? Are you really willing to go to war with the United States? Aren't you afraid that you will die on our soil? "
"I'm not afraid." Xiao Bing smiled. There was confidence in his smile, but also a sense of tragedy. "I must let the people of your country know what they have done, and let the whole world know …"
…
Xiao Bing and Linda first talked for five minutes. The more they talked, the more desperate Linda became. But she did not continue to persuade Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing was firm. But every time he looked at Linda, there would inevitably be some self-blame and pain in his eyes.
The Director applauded and said, "Well, stop and take a break. That's great. Your director is very good."
Coppola said, "But we still have to do it again later. Remember, your movements, expressions, tone, everything has to be slowed down. Your performance just now was very vivid, but remember to slow down. We have to match the rhythm of the whole movie and let the audience be brought in little by little. "
Xiao Bing and Linda listened and nodded repeatedly.
During the process of shooting this movie, Xiao Bing also felt that he had gained a lot. Only then did he realize that acting was not only about acting well, but also had to cooperate with the rhythm of the whole movie. Because sometimes, no matter how good one's personal performance was, the result would affect the rhythm of the whole movie.
Then Xiao Bing and Linda did it again. This time, Coppola was very satisfied. The next scene was the bed scene. Coppola smiled and said, "You guys drink tea and chat. The rest of us will go first. I'll give you about half an hour to prepare your emotions, and then we'll start shooting."
Xiao Bing said, "Well, we can do it now."
Director Coppola shook his head and said, "Sex scenes are actually the most difficult scenes during filming. It's even more difficult than many action scenes. It requires both sides to be able to let go of each other, or even just let go of each other. It also requires both sides to have a tacit understanding. So there are usually two difficulties in this kind of scene. First, if two people are not familiar with each other, it is difficult to have a tacit understanding. Second, if two people are familiar with each other, it is often more difficult for them to let go than those who are not familiar with each other. "
Hearing this, Xiao Bing nodded slightly. This analysis was not wrong. It was indeed very reasonable.
Coppola continued, "So, don't underestimate the next scene. I'm sure you don't want to keep repeating today, right? So you two should talk, relax, and find the tacit understanding. We'll go outside and talk about the script. We'll wait for you. "
Xiao Bing said, "Okay."
"Well, let's go."
Coppola and the others left, leaving only Xiao Bing and Linda in the room. Linda got up and poured a cup of tea for herself and Xiao Bing. She bent down slightly, and her round and white breasts were right in front of Xiao Bing's eyes.
There was a slight reaction in a certain part of Xiao Bing's body. He instantly clamped his legs and said with a smile, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, Brother Xiao."
Xiao Bing smiled and was about to speak when Linda sat down again. Then she looked at Xiao Bing with seductive eyes and said in an extremely charming tone, "Alas, you didn't reply to the MMS I sent you before. It's really sad, Xiao Jun … Oh no, Brother Xiao Bing."
Xiao Bing was stunned and sat on the spot with a look of surprise on his face.
