Since Jiang Xueying strongly requested that he must finish filming the wire-hanging scene, he should just shoot it. However, it is hard to say whether something will go wrong in the middle.
After taking cold medicine, Bai Chen was supported by two assistants and took a quick hot shower to wash off the bad smell. Then he quickly put on his costume and re-did his hair and makeup.
It was two hours later when I finished the whole process.
In fact, the scene of going into the river should have been shot last, because after shooting the scene in the river, all the makeup and hair would have to be changed again, which was very troublesome.
But because the male lead was in a hurry and had already rushed to the next scene, the director had to arrange his scene first.
The male lead of this play is quite dedicated. For the scene where he goes down to the river in winter, he did not use a body double but performed the scene himself.
Perhaps because he has good physical fitness, or because he was in the river for a very short time, there is no content in the plot where the male protagonist catches a cold.
Bai Chen endured the dizziness, holding a sword, and flew into the air on a wire. He reached a height of about several dozen meters.
I don't understand how this script was written. When the heroine fell into the water, she could only struggle in the water, but in the next shot she turned into a Super Saiyan and flew into the sky in a cool way.
Yu Wancai didn't know the content of the script of this play, and she didn't watch the TV series when it was broadcast.
So Bai Chen was just randomly guessing the direction of the plot at this moment.
I think most of the shots where the heroine falls into the water are from the early stages of the plot, but in the shots now, the woman has grown up, which is why she is able to fly.
That's the only explanation.
The initial filming went smoothly. From a distance, the flying movements were done very well.
It was like a flying fairy, coming closer and closer from the sky.
But as they were flying, something seemed to be wrong with the woman in the camera.
Why did she suddenly float sideways? It was as if she had been attacked by ambush.
Did she add to the drama herself
No, no, she seemed to have fainted suddenly.
This incident scared the entire crew, and they thought something serious had happened.
When Bai Chen was let down, his teeth were clenched and he looked like a dead person.
"What happened to her? Why did she suddenly become like this?" A crew member sniffed Bai Chen's breath and touched her forehead.
"Fortunately, I'm still breathing, but I seem to have a high fever."
"Should we call an ambulance?"
"Call an ambulance? Do you want to see the net tomorrow?"
"I won't die anytime soon. Let's see what the director says."
The crew members were talking at once, but no one took action to help. If this was a real emergency, most of their lives would have been lost amid their discussions.
Poor Bai Chen was thrown onto a wooden board, looking creepy.
No one took the lead in sending people to the hospital.
"Director Wang, do you think we should send her to the hospital?" A script supervisor pointed at Bai Chen and shouted to the director in the distance.
Director Wang then approached with a dark face and scolded coldly, "This woman is already so sick, and you still let her be a substitute? Whose idea was this
Whoever asked her to take over should send her to the hospital. Don't ask me about this kind of thing."
He was actually asking the question even though he knew the answer. He knew very well that this woman was Jiang Xueying's stand-in.
At critical moments, directors like to be the scapegoat. It is not his responsibility to send people to the hospital.
What if that woman died on the road, wouldn't it be my responsibility
At this moment, Jiang Xueying's face turned pale with fright. When she saw Bai Chen suddenly floating sideways in the sky, she thought someone had died.
If Yu Wancai died and the news was spread by someone with ulterior motives, her good reputation would definitely be affected.
Seeing the director getting mad, she quickly trotted over to apologize, “Director Wang, no, I’m sorry.
She just said she could do it, so I let her play."
Director Wang looked unhappy and was very dissatisfied with the leading actress Jiang Xueying.
Although hanging on wires is hard work, it is not that difficult to do.
But she was not willing to endure any hardship and insisted on letting the woman who had just crossed the river be her stand-in again. It would not be a good thing if someone died while filming a movie.
Director Wang is a well-known figure in the industry. He has directed several classic TV series and is very demanding of perfection in his works.
He has never been fond of those unprofessional actors.
The heroine this time was chosen to be Jiang Xueying, of course, because she has a certain network of connections and was strongly recommended by someone.
Furthermore, her acting skills are pretty good and the ratings are guaranteed, so she was invited to play the leading female role.
But after getting to know her, the director did not have a good impression of Jiang Xueying.
For martial arts action scenes, a stunt double is required, for strenuous action scenes, and for risky action scenes, a stunt double is required.
Even a wrestling move, which is obviously not very dangerous, still has to be completed by a stunt double just because there is a possibility of being thrown to the ground.
So, adding all these things together, he had long been dissatisfied with Jiang Xueying, and he also didn't have a good attitude towards the substitute she brought with her.
Jiang Xueying has a backer, so he can't just curse at her, and his stand-in Yu Wancai becomes his punching bag.
She is always scolded for having shit in her head and being as stupid as a pig.
Poor Yu Wancai became less and less confident after being scolded, and more and more confused about her future.
I feel like I can’t even do the job of a stand-in, so becoming a star is even more out of reach.
After hearing Jiang Xueying's explanation, Director Wang's tone became even worse.
"Can't you perform this scene yourself? It's just a wire job, what are you afraid of? You always use a double, what do you do for a living?"
He had wanted to say this for a long time, but he had held back because he was concerned about the people behind her. But now he really couldn't bear it anymore.
"I! I!" Jiang Xueying blushed with embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Director Wang, I'm afraid of heights. Can we shoot this scene another day?"
"What did you say? Do it another time?" Director Wang was so angry that his beard trembled. "If you don't want to shoot, you can find someone else. You are not the only one who can act.
If you don’t want to act, there are plenty of beautiful women waiting in line to act.”
"Yes, Director Wang, but my stand-in is sick, and I don't want this to happen!" Jiang Xueying seemed very aggrieved, with tears welling up in her eyes.
I was also very anxious. If I used a male stand-in for the wire-suspended scene, it would definitely not work, but if I did it myself, it would definitely not work either.
Because when she said she was afraid of heights, she wasn't lying.
"The stand-in is sick! If the stand-in is sick, can't you go on stage yourself? Can't you overcome it yourself?"
"I've already told you, I'm afraid of heights." Jiang Xueying seemed to have lost her patience, "I really can't take pictures today."
Upon hearing this, Director Wang was so angry that he wanted to spit out blood, and his eyes opened as big as copper coins.
"The scene has been set up, and you just say you don't want to shoot it? Let hundreds of people wait for you?"
When the supporting actors present heard Director Wang's words, they all looked at Jiang Xueying with unhappy expressions.
They have been waiting for several hours and haven't been able to arrange their own shots yet!
The shots of the protagonist are usually arranged at the front. Once the protagonist's scenes are finished, the shots of the supporting roles have to be rushed overtime.
