Sister Qin's bag was too small, and the script got stuck. It took her a long time to pull it out of the bag. Wei Huai took it and turned it over carefully.
He was stunned when he saw the title of the play on the home page.
It’s really a big investment, and the online publicity campaign is in full swing. He was browsing Weibo two days ago and saw a lot of fanart.
This is a martial arts drama with a male protagonist, and hundreds of millions of dollars were invested in the drama alone. The director was determined to make a martial arts film that would go down in history. He took the entire crew to shoot the scenes, trying to reduce the green screen cutout and restore the passionate youth.
There are fewer and fewer good martial arts dramas nowadays, but this subject has always been the favorite of many people. From casting to filming, it took a long time. Much attention. During the filming, some Easter eggs were revealed from time to time. Fans of the actor are not idle everywhere.
It's just that this drama takes a long time, pays little, and is very difficult, so popular actors will not accept the starring role. In addition, the crew's salary budget is also tight, and it is hoped that the age of the actors can be more consistent with the original work, so most of the cast are newcomers who want to develop, and veteran actors who have endured hardships.
The two leading actors are averagely popular, have no representative works, and can barely hold the ratings. If this drama wants to develop, it will have to rely more on word of mouth. The director also knows this, so he has relatively strict requirements for newcomers. There was non-stop chatter on the set, and the actor was exposed to heat stroke, which was criticized by online fans for a while.
Sister Qin said: "The injured one is the third female lead. She doesn't have many roles."
After all, it is a martial arts drama with a male protagonist, and there are indeed not many female third roles. Wei Huai took a look and found that the character is very good, a female swordsman with tragedy and involuntary control.
If this show is popular, this character will definitely be popular too. There should be a lot of people grabbing it, after all, there are countless newcomers that companies want to promote.
Wei Huai didn't expect Sister Qin to give him this opportunity. No, give it to Shao Xi.
"You are also lucky. You are really lucky. But there is nothing you can do in the entertainment industry. Good luck is a talent." Sister Qin said, "I have an artist who is also working on "Light Sword and Fast Horse". I will go see him. When I was filming, I showed the director a video of you knocking down your manager at the Lijiang Hotel. The crew hadn’t even announced that they were looking for an actor, so he immediately asked you to audition after seeing it. So this time you weren’t even a competitor. nothing."
She spoke very frankly, and seemed not to regard the agent as her colleague at all.
Sister Qin added: "I have pushed you for all those useless announcements of yours. They are so out of character. The hot spot for small companies to open is still in the county below. Is it made by celebrities? A well-known website Hong won’t even go.”
Wei Huai felt the same way.
Sister Qin sat down beside his bed: "How's it going? Of course I suggest you go. The script is really well written. Even if it doesn't explode, it won't make a splash. The important thing is that the director and producer are both experienced people. It’s easy to pass the censorship. You don’t have to wait five or six years to release it after filming, or it won’t be released at all. What you want now is a drama that passes censorship quickly and maintains exposure to the public. If you have such an opportunity If you miss it, you don’t know when it will happen again.”
Wei Huai said seriously: "Okay."
Sister Qin nodded with satisfaction.
"Then I contacted you?" Sister Qin said, "You will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and I will take you to the team the day after tomorrow."
Wei Huai acquiesced. Start memorizing lines quickly and figuring out the character.
Sister Qin: "By the way, I have hired an assistant for you. She has something to do and can't come here for the time being. You can save her number. Use it and see if it doesn't work, then change it."
Sister Qin recruited him a young girl, who looked like an honest person at first glance. He is not very courageous, and he is not clever enough in doing things, but he is better than being down-to-earth and hard-working.
She came to the hospital the next day to help Wei Huai go through the discharge procedures, and then gave him a taxi home. Not a man of many words, he actually sat face to face with him and stared at him for more than an hour.
Wei Huai thought that Shao Xi would go crazy with such an assistant. In the end, he surrendered and took the initiative to let her go back and arrange the rest of her time by herself.
Wei Huai originally wanted to tell Shao Xi, but felt he was not sure yet and would wait until the results came out after the audition.
the day after tomorrow.
Sister Qin came over in person, took him to the station, and transferred to the set.
I have all my luggage, so I won’t sign a contract for the time being, I’m just going to have a look.
The current filming location is not in Hengdian, but near an unpopular scenic spot in a southern city, because the director thinks this place has beautiful scenery.
Sister Qin led the people in through the gate of the scenic spot, inquired about today's shooting location in the work group, and walked deep into the twists and turns of the mountain forest.
Although the road has been paved, there will inevitably be ups and downs. Wei Huai saw that the assistant could not carry such a big bag, so he stepped forward to help share the luggage.
The assistant raised his head moved and bowed deeply to him: "Thank you, Sister Xi!"
Wei Huai felt a little melancholy at this title.
Finally, the front started to get lively, and you could still hear the director's scolding voice with a loudspeaker.
Passing through the woods that block the view, there is a lake in front of you, with an artistic thatched house in the middle of the lake.
When walking down the mound, an actor in costume stood up and shouted: "Sister Qin!"
Sister Qin nodded to him, indicating that he didn't need to come over, and continued to lead Wei Huai forward. At the same time, he warned: "Filming is hard work. If you have never filmed a martial arts drama, you may not be used to it, especially when you are under pressure. But any job is hard, and injuries are unexpected, but inevitable. Being an actor has risks. The salary is also high. Remember, never complain in front of Director Fang. If you are injured or need to take leave for something, you must come to me first and I will talk to the crew."
Some newcomers don't know how to ask for leave from the director. Not to mention that this matter is not the director's responsibility in the first place and will affect the filming process. The coordinator is not willing to agree. If the negotiation is not successful, it will end up making both parties look ugly.
Of course Wei Huai knew. What's the use of complaining in front of the director? Do you want him to cut out the scenes for you, or do you want him to scream with you
Sister Qin stopped talking all the way and muttered: "I forgot that you are not a newcomer either."
Wei Huai: "..."
Sister Qin didn't say any more, and brought Wei Huai to the director's side. She bowed in a low posture and introduced everyone with a smile: "This is our Shao Xi. Please take care of me. She is inexperienced in martial arts dramas." People, but very hard-working. Come to Shao Xi, this is... "
The director quickly stood up, as if he had been waiting for a long time, put down the speaker and dragged Shao Xi away, saying urgently: "Don't call people yet, come on, this is Teacher Ye, our martial arts instructor. We happen to be filming the scene here this afternoon. , you have one morning to study, try learning the movements first and see if you can master them."

Miss Qin trotted behind and reminded: "Her right hand is injured!"
Director Fang said: "It doesn't matter! Lao Ye! Look, the person you want is here!"
The martial arts instructor standing by the lake turned around and said it was okay. He should have already known. He took Wei Huai from the director, took two steps forward, pointed to the cabin in front and said: "When the time comes, you will come out from there. The man in black will attack from the side and chop off your hand first. Your right hand is useless, so you just throw the sword to your left hand, and use your left hand to resist all the rest. It's still true. The left hand movement needs to be smooth, otherwise the result will be ugly. Are you used to using your left hand? "
Wei Huai assessed it and said, "It's not bad."
The martial arts instructor then said to Sister Qin: "Don't worry, our martial arts instructor is very considerate of the actors. And Teacher Shao, don't be nervous. We have safety measures in place. The actor was injured before, and it has nothing to do with me!"
Director Fang came in and couldn't help but look forward: "We want to take a shot of this scene to the end. It will be so beautiful when it is shot. It will definitely become a famous scene. The camera is following you, all the way from... "
The martial arts instructor said angrily: "That difficulty level is too high! The last actor was tricked by you like this. You must listen to me on this issue!"
Director Fang suddenly hesitated: "I said you can give it a try. If it doesn't work, let's talk about it. I didn't say force it."
The martial arts instructor took a long branch from the person next to him and handed it to Wei Huai. He held the long sword and asked, "How long have you been practicing martial arts? How difficult are the movements you can accept? How high is your reach? How is your body flexibility?" "
Director Fang also stood and watched and did not leave for the time being.
They could never find the right actor.
Martial arts dramas are too difficult. Just the pressure and the large number of martial arts scenes are enough to be daunting. Those who are willing to take pictures will not be able to do well, and good ones will be paid well, while those who are willing to take low-paying films will not be able to do so.
It is said that there is great competition in the entertainment industry, but why are there so few talents
Not long ago, an actor was injured, causing the progress to stall. I argued with the brokerage company for several days.
But that really can't be entirely their fault. The actor didn't exercise often. When he came to the set to warm up, he didn't listen carefully to the instructions. I haven't been pressured yet, but when I put pressure on me, I didn't hurt my waist.
Unfortunately, this role doesn't have many roles, but it is very important. Every appearance must promote the development of the plot. The person who ranks at the forefront of martial arts in the setting cannot be careless.
Director Fang suddenly became a little anxious when he saw that Wei Huai didn't speak much and only answered a few simple sentences. He said, "Our character requires a little more emotion. You are an actor, not a stand-in. Do you understand what I mean?"
For convenience, Wei Huai wore a set of sportswear today. Although Sister Qin expressed her dislike, she did not interfere.
Without saying a word, he watched the martial arts instructor casually hold several sword flowers, combined them with the moves he had learned before, copied them perfectly, combined them into one move, and finally stopped in a defensive posture.
The horse's steps are solid, the movements are smooth and flowing, and the moves have a sense of rhythm that an outsider will never learn in a short period of time.
When the sword stabs, the click, the speed and the subtle adjustments appear to be very powerful, and the weight seems to be light.
It's like throwing a punch. That sense of power is not expressed simply by whether or not you use force.
He has been a martial arts instructor for so many years and has met many actors, but some people just don't understand. Either with brute force or softly, it is easy to injure the wrist, and it also looks nondescript.
The martial arts instructor's eyes shone, and Director Fang immediately shut up.
The martial arts instructor asked: "Have you really learned martial arts? Then what else can you do?"
Director Fang: "Then can you take one shot to the end?"
Director Ye: "Go away!"
Director Fang: “Everyone is doing this for the crew!”
Wei Huai was forced to take a step back by their enthusiasm.
Sister Qin was so shocked that she forgot to speak as she stood nearby.
She thought that Shao Xi would be nimble and know some simple anti-wolf techniques, but she didn't expect that Shao Xi was really good at Chinese martial arts
This is a good selling point of the character, but it has always been buried? ! She looked at Shao Xi, and he was clearly glowing with red light!
Director Fang suddenly asked: "Are you facial paralyzed?"
Wei Huai: "??"
"Don't be nervous. Our character is originally a forbearing iceberg beauty, like the Desperate Swordsman. It doesn't matter if your face is paralyzed. I think the facial features on your face are quite natural. I will try to use a close-up to express your depth." Director Fang looked at it carefully. His face, and then promised: "As long as you take the martial arts part for me, your face will definitely not be a problem!"
Wei Huai's eyes twitched.
Facial paralysis? !
Since he entered the entertainment industry, this is the first person to say that he has facial paralysis.
