Chapter 72 Temporary Substitute
Lin Meilin saw that everyone was happy to eat and also talked about her own shooting experience.
The shooting of the crew was still in autumn, and the grasslands of Inner Mongolia were already cold. In order to dispel the cold for everyone, more than a dozen mouthfuls of large iron pots high were set up on the set. Under the pot, firewood burned fiercely, and the boiling water was tossed down. There was a silent lamb in each pot.
Everyone in the crew sat around the iron pot array, eating meat while roasting the fire. Lin Meilin also got a fist-sized sheep's back. She stopped after only taking half a bite. She couldn't stand the smell.
While everyone was not paying attention, with a subtle smile on his face, he spit out the choking fishy smell in the grass. However, what made her ashamed was that the crew chewed boiled white lamb sweetly. They said that eating freshly boiled mutton was no different from the holiday.
The usual boxed lunches are eaten with ice. Open the lunch box quickly. Just by breaking the chopsticks, the sweet and sour tenderloin turns into rock sugar tenderloin.
What's more unfortunate is that the director happened to be a workaholic, and the producer kept urging the progress. The final result became a tragedy. The director regarded everyone as a charging robot. Breakfast was ruthlessly ignored, lunch had to be merged with dinner, and dinner time was infinitely delayed. Such a miserable day after day, what is displayed on the screen are the beautiful scenery and the male and female stars who laugh and scold.
You said a few words, and he said a few words. This boxed lunch led to a lot of stories, and there were some notes and new actors around, which was also interesting.
After the meal, Hu Wenliang, the bearded director, said hello, and the whole set became busy. Zhang Ping and the other two watched it with great interest. They listened to them during the meal. In the afternoon, several scenes were martial arts scenes. Fang Kexin was very excited when she heard it. She had never seen them shoot martial arts scenes on the spot. This is a good opportunity.
When it came to filming, Jiang You, the martial arts director, hurried over and said to the bearded director, "It's terrible. Xiao Jin seems to have a bad stomach. He keeps shouting that it hurts. I'm afraid he can't shoot the double play in the afternoon."
Hu Wenliang burst out with a rude mouth and said angrily, "Just change someone. Are you a martial arts instructor or am I?"
Jiang You rubbed his hands and said apologetically, "What a coincidence. Well, other doubles have been working these days, and I didn't come here today."
Hu Wenliang stood up with a gloomy face and turned around twice angrily. Most of his anger subsided. He gently patted Jiang You on the shoulder and said, "Jiang You, think of a way again to see if you can find a temporary top. The action design is simpler. This progress is already far behind. Boss Zhou urged me today."
Zhang Pingren waited for a long time and saw nothing, but Lin Meilin, who had put on makeup, came over and said with a smile that it seemed that she was going to rest today.
Fang Kexin heard that it was because of the problem of the stand-in. She turned her head and said to herself, "Mei Lin, Director Hu said, as long as he bleed and invited us to have a big meal, I will help him solve the matter of the double."
Lin Meilin looked at her suspiciously and got her positive eyes. Then she hesitated to find Director Hu. Soon, Director Hu came over excitedly and said, " Kexin, if you can help me solve the problem of this stand-in, not to mention a meal, you can have three meals."
Fang Kexin pulled Zhang Ping and said to Director Hu, "This stand-in is just a good job. My boyfriend is very good. He can play several times.
At this time, Jiang You also came to hear the news. Looking at Zhang Pingwen's polite appearance, he couldn't help shaking his head suspiciously. Director Hu also had doubts, so he inquired about Zhang Ping's details.
Zhang Ping was pulled out by Fang Kexin. It doesn't matter. Just help. It's not dangerous to think about it. At this time, seeing that they were suspicious, their competitive heart also came up. They said with confidence that there was no problem. After a few movements, Jiang You reluctantly agreed.
In fact, today's stand-in play is relatively simple, which is a scene of hanging Weiya and fighting at high altitude. In front of the green *, hang the hero and heroine in the air, and then do some stunts of stabbing and splitting swords. Then later, with the computer to cut the film and add some stunt shots, the hero and heroine become omnipotent super masters.
If you just hang it, you don't actually need a double. The key to today's martial arts show is the authenticity of high-altitude fighting, so it's really not good without a stand-in. However, for Zhang Ping, this play is too simple. It can be done without much effort. It was also praised by Jiang You and Director Hu next to him. It's even a pity to even say that such a good hand is not a stand-in.
Khan, I don't know how hard this stand-in is. What is a stand-in?
The actions that the celebrities dare not do or disdain to do are all up to them. They jumped off the skyscraper, they jumped out of the violently impacted car, and they shuttled through the fire and smoke... They were not stars, but they made a thrilling and wonderful scene in a movie.
The stuntman pays a lot, but gets very little. Low status, poor treatment and lack of security are the three major dilemmas of domestic stuntmen. Even people like Zhang Ping who don't care much about gossip and entertainment circles often hear what news, which stuntman falls and is seriously injured, and so on.
After declined Jiang You's invitation, Zhang Ping stood next to him and looked around, quite leisurely. Occasionally, I looked back at Fang Kexin, who was stopped on the periphery of the set. The girl waved excitedly. This temporary stand-in was very emotional.
After the stunt, it's time to take a close-up of the heroine Weiya. There is no need for a stand-in. Lin Meilin is also an experienced old actor. It's not a big deal to simply hang Wei Ya.
"Weia is broken."
Someone shouted. Lin Meilin in the air had just been hung up. Less than two meters, she fell down like a broken kite, and everyone next to her was dumbfounded.
Zhang Ping reacted very quickly. He rushed over with an arrow step, and there was still a little distance. His legs slid to the bottom of the fall, and his hands wrapped around Lin Meilin's legs.
Zhang Ping's back shoulder fell to the ground, and the dust flew. Lin Meilin hit his arms face to face, intact. However, the woman's feet stepped heavily on his stomach and almost hit the point, which was ruined.
Fortunately, everyone is fine!
Lin Meilin was shocked, and her body trembled, putting her hands around Zhang Ping's shoulders. Everyone woke up from the shock and gathered around. He talked about it, expressing his feelings, and even applauded at the same time.
Director Hu also rushed over and saw with his own eyes that both of them were fine, and they gave a thumbs up to exaggerate their bravery. He even patted his thigh and said that the scene just now had been filmed. At that time, it must be edited into the film. Lin Meilin screamed without pretentiousness and Zhang Ping's unrestrained slip to save people. It was so classic that she absolutely cheered.
At this time, Lin Meilin also came to her senses and embarrassedly came down from Zhang Ping's arms and couldn't help expressing her gratitude.
Jiang You next to him checked it and angrily picked up a prop knife and chased a new martial arts. He scolded: "Bastard, the used Weia can never be used again. You fucking want to kill people..."
The chased Wu Xing ran like a life, begging for mercy, and looked quite pitiful. However, he was also very afraid to think about it. Director Hu even announced the dismissal of the martial arts on the spot.
Weiya: transliteration, a kind of steel wire used to shoot stunts such as flying people in the air. It was first transmitted from Hollywood. The good quality of Weiya is made in Japan, and it is mostly bought in Hong Kong. Weiya is divided into 12 to 30 mm. They usually hang people with a caliber of 15 mm, 19 strands in the outer circle, and 7 to 9 strands in the center. It is closed. Generally, it is believed that this thing is vacuum in the martial arts industry. If it folds the nest, it will be aired in, so it is easy to break. The reason why it is more commonly used is that this kind of Wiya is applied by applying Vaseline or soap. It's not easy to see with the naked eye. It's cheaper if you don't wear it. It's 600 to 700 Hong Kong dollars per plate and 1,000 feet per plate, about 300 meters. Some crews are relatively poor and use domestic products. The quality is relatively poor, with asbestos in the middle, which is easy to break.
When Fang Kexin saw this scene from afar, he immediately ran over and squeezed in to see that Zhang Ping and Lin Meilin were fine, so he was relieved. He patted his chest and gasped. What he didn't know was that he thought it was her who fell just now.
This play can't be filmed anymore. Director Hu announced the end of the show, and the holiday will be rectified tomorrow morning, and it will continue in the afternoon. While packing up, Director Hu specially found Zhang Ping, expressed his gratitude again, and sincerely invited Zhang Ping to attend Boss Zhou's banquet tonight.
Fang Kexin just heard Dong Zhenglei talk about the funny story of the banquet. Naturally, she didn't let it go. Before Zhang Ping could speak, she rushed to agree.
Since there was an arrangement in the evening, they were not busy going back, so the three simply followed the crew back to their hotel: Hang Seng Hotel.
Naturally, Cai Yuling still lives in Room 2010, Lin Meilin is in the 2012 room next to her, and then lives in Dong Zhenglei, Director Yang, Director Hu and others in turn. In addition to them, there are basically three people in the crew, not on this floor. It can be seen that the status is different, and the treatment is naturally different. Of course, we should rule out eating boxed lunches.
Zhang Ping thought about Hans James and thought about how to find an excuse to go to Cai Yuling's room. Just then, the doorbell rang, and Cai Yuling came in and came to comfort Lin Meilin, which was also a great blessing in misfortune.
Zhang Ping watched her come in and thought that it was full of women here. He was a little sleepy. Naturally, he told Cai Yuling to borrow her room for a rest.
It's a little rude, but everyone thinks about Zhang Ping's heroic appearance in the afternoon and understands his sleepiness. Cai Yuling didn't want to refuse, so she agreed with a red face.
