Huayu started from the fairy sword

In mid-April, the movie "Mermaid" directed by Zhou Xingchi officially launched in Shenzhen in a low-key manner.

The film is adapted from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale of the same name. Zhou Xingchi has always liked fairy tales. Aliens, mermaids, and Cantonese fragments are Zhou Xingchi's childhood things. He likes to put his childhood things in movies.

When shooting the theme of "Mermaid", Zhou Xingchi hoped to shoot something different.

The investment of the film is as high as 2 million yuan, which is three times that of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". The shooting mode of "Conquering the Devil".

Like "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Cao Jun is still doing his part as the male lead, while the newcomer Lin Yun will play the female lead mermaid, who will be partnered with Luo Zhixiang and Zhang Yuqi, the former "star girl".

However, there is one thing to say, making Zhou Xingchi's movie is definitely a difficult challenge for the actors.

For example, the rookie heroine Lin Yun, because she often had to hang the wire in the movie, she got injured all over her body when she started the machine. The worst time, she almost hurt her face.

As we all know, Zhou Xingchi is very strict with the presentation of the film. During the filming process, every movement of the actor, "especially the expression", must be satisfied, so he often does it himself.

This film is the second collaboration between Cao Jun and Zhou Xingchi. After these two collaborations, Cao Jun believes that Zhou Xingchi does not have the legendary actor abuser, at least when he was filming in the Mainland, nothing similar happened.

And Zhou Xingchi said that Cao Jun's acting skills are so good, he is very relieved.

Although Zhang Yuqi's whole body is full of treasures, Cao Jun did not dare to act rashly, for fear that his fame would be ruined by her.

Most of the time when the executive director is present, Zhou Xingchi is also present. If the crew starts work at [-] or [-] in the morning, he will be there at [-]:[-].

Yu Feihong replied: "It depends on the situation, if there is nothing wrong, of course there is no problem."

Just after Cao Jun took a shower and came out of the bathroom, he saw several missed calls on his mobile phone, which were from Qianqian, Shishi, Bingbing, Yu Feihong, and Zhang Yuqi.

After talking on the phone with Yu Feihong, Cao Jun chatted with Qianqian and others for a while, and at the end of the chat, it was almost eleven o'clock before calling Zhang Yuqi's phone.

Zhang Yuqi was not discouraged either. She cared for Cao Jun both on set and in life.

Cao Jun told the truth: "I'm very busy, I've been filming in Guangfu recently."

And the "set tyrant" Zhou Xingchi is often unsmiling on the set. When the atmosphere of the crew is very low, Cao Jun always appears in time to put out the fire, which is a good medicine for the crew to relieve stress.

In addition, Cao Jun was also afraid that his life would be in danger if he got along with Zhang Yuqi.

Cao Jun smiled and replied: "Sister Feihong, I just came out of the shower, what's the matter, what's the matter?"

Zhou Xingchi likes to teach people kung fu on the set. He taught Cao Jun and the others to play Bruce Lee. He often caught Lin Yun to try out kung fu moves. He also used executive director Qian Guowei as a sandbag to beat him.

Cao Jun said with a smile: "Then it's settled, I will definitely go to you when the time comes..."

As a newcomer, Lin Yun needed too much advice. Zhou Xing taught Lin Yun how to act. What Zhou Xingchi wanted Lin Yun to act, he would perform for Lin Yun first, because Zhou Xingchi's requirements were too strict. Yun's scenes often have to be filmed at least 20 times, or even more.

this night.

Zhou Xingchi is very rigorous and hardworking. Even if the executive director has already met the actors on the set, he will do it again.

Whenever Zhou Xingchi was about to get angry and wanted to tell Lin Yun with a meteor hammer or machete (props in the play), Cao Jun would go over and tell Zhou Xing to "calm down and focus on the overall situation".

The filming of the "Mermaid" crew has also officially entered the later stage.

After work was over, Zhou Xingchi took the crew to play every project.

When filming the scene where the male and female protagonists eat chicken, because the crew has booked the entire playground, all items can be played casually.

Yu Feihong muttered dissatisfied: "Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"

Outside the play, Cao Jun and Zhang Yuqi also became friends.

Speaking of which, Cao Jun and Yu Feihong, the elder sister, have not been in touch for a long time.

During these two months, Cao Jun devoted almost all his time and energy to the performance of the role.

Zhou Xingchi, who had his own insistence and requirements, went to play with two extras in person, and the scene took more than two hours to shoot.

Yu Feihong said calmly: "It's pretty good, how about you? You must be very busy, right?"

There was a scene where two extras were shoving and reacting. In fact, the scene may only be a few seconds, and it may even be cut at the end.

Lin Yun also said in an interview with reporters that it was very stressful to cooperate with Cao Jun when filming the film, but later found that Cao Jun was very good, knowing that the crew often soaked in cold water, Cao Jun would specially prepare ginger tea.

Cao Jun wanted to go, but hesitated again and again, and still found an excuse to decline.

Cao Jun hurriedly explained: "Of course not, I just feel very surprised, we haven't contacted for a long time, how are you doing recently?"

However, Zhang Yuqi was still very respectful and polite in front of Cao Jun, and almost never turned his face to him, and even secretly asked Cao Jun several times, wanting Cao Jun to go to her room to talk about the script.

Long before the filming of "The Mermaid", Cao Jun had heard a little about the woman Zhang Yuqi.

Seeing Yu Feihong's phone call, Cao Jun was a little surprised, but also a little excited, and immediately called back.

It is worth mentioning that in real life, Mr. Zheng in the film is not only an actor, but also a boss. As for the aircraft, the crew did refer to the real aircraft to design.

After the call was connected, Yu Feihong on the other end was obviously a little nervous, and asked calmly, "Why did you go? It took so long to call back."

In the most filmed scene, Cao Jun and Lin Yun ate more than 100 chickens, and the number of NGs exceeded 500 times.

After the play, Cao Jun and Zhou Xingchi often chatted late at night, which lasted for nearly a month, playing each other and exchanging their feelings.

In the second half of the scene, he hugged Lin Yun for several days, and Cao Jun "trained his psoas muscles" for this.

And Luo Zhixiang's performance in the movie was also taught by Zhou Xingchi one by one, and many of Luo Zhixiang's high-pitched speech lines in the film deliberately imitated the voice of Zhou Xingchi's Mandarin dubbing teacher, Shi Banyu.

Before Yu Feihong could answer, Cao Jun continued: "Sister Feihong, can I meet you when I return to the capital after my work?"

The scene where Mr. Zheng flies around the room is actually shot by the aircraft, and Mr. Zheng added it after computer special effects.

Zhang Yuqi called Cao Jun for nothing else, just to tease him.

Time passed quickly, and it was June in a blink of an eye.

Zhou Xingchi would not listen to the words of ordinary people. Who made him Cao Jun?
Basically, as long as Cao Jun comes out as a peacemaker, Zhou Xingchi will give him face.

Cao Jun is getting more and more timid. It has been a long time since he took the initiative to launch an offensive against a certain female star.

Moreover, most of the time, Cao Jun doesn't need to take the initiative, there will be colleagues who will take the initiative to offer him an olive branch.

Unless he meets a very tempting girl, Cao Jun basically makes excuses to refuse.

He often walks on the side of the road, and his shoes are not wet. Cao Jun now cherishes his feathers more and more.

But in the face of Zhang Yuqi's continuous teasing, it is difficult for Cao Jun not to forget his original intention. Even if he is not moved, he will inevitably be a little moved.
