Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 343 - Difficult shooting in the sand sea

"I really want the crew of "Operation Icebreaker" to replace me, even if they refund 5% of Gong Yu's salary." Chen Yu punched the air.

"This year you will take on two serious projects in China, "Operation Icebreaker" and "Flowers and Boys Season 3," so you know what to do." Emmanuel raised his hand to wipe his forehead.

Dilraba had already watched Chen Yu finish filming the scene in Casablanca last Wednesday and reluctantly returned to China. After all, the crew of "Chen Xi Yuan" there was still waiting for her.

Originally, Dilraba's vacation was only for one week, but because Zhang Zhixi, Li Dongxue, and Zhang Zhen were injured during action scenes, she was able to return to the team seven days later.

The reason that led to the injuries of several main actors was the pursuit of quality of this series. Chief director Lin Yufen wanted to make "Chen Xi Yuan" a dark horse in the ratings.

Zhang Zhen, who has participated in a TV series for the first time since his debut, wants to give himself a good start. No matter where he is wearing a costume, Zhang Zhen will always stand upright.

The male lead is so focused and serious that the heroine Dilraba is under great pressure. If "Chen Xi Yuan" does not perform well after the broadcast, Dilraba will not be able to blame it.

Therefore, Dilraba, who has fully adjusted her condition during the France-Morocco trip, is ready to exert her strength again and show her professional skills after returning to the crew.

Dilraba's idea is that even if she cannot reach 75 points, she must maintain it at 70 points. Even if her acting skills are considered a shortcoming of the crew, she must still keep up with Zhang Zhen and Li Yitong.

The advantage of not carrying the Jiaxing gift package is that Dilireba will choose to face difficulties instead of ignoring them. Of course, facing the challenges head-on, she can overcome that obstacle.

Another main reason why Dilraba, Xue Dan, Coco and Yang Dan hurried back to China was: the crew of "Rapid Prepare for War" moved to the Western Sahara Desert.

The scorching sun, the hot wind, and the rolling sea of ​​sand. Such a majestic scene meant to Dilraba that it would destroy her delicate skin and burn her delicate face.

Furthermore, Dilraba, Yang Mi, Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi would only read novels or dramas about tomb-robbing and digging up graves, which led to their prejudice against deserts, Gobis and tidal flats.

Before boarding the flight back to China from Casablanca, the sisters Qian Dingzhu and Wan told Chen Yu that she must report that she was safe every day, otherwise she would sleep on the sofa from now on.

Chen Yu also asked Dilraba if she wanted to star in a film and television production about tomb hunting and treasure robbing? Disney is preparing to restart the "National Treasure" series in mid-March next year.

If Dilraba wants to show off her skills in the South American rainforest, Chen Yu can directly insert her into the team. Now Nicolas Cage can lead the newcomers.

In addition, Lucasfilm Co., Ltd. is also planning to work with Disney to continue a new chapter of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". It plans to start filming next year, but the release time needs to be determined.

These two grave-robbing works, Chen Yu, can help Dilraba play a positive role as the third or second female lead. Unfortunately, Dilraba said she has no interest in joining in the fun.

Now Dilireba plans to save money for milk powder, diapers, and tuition and miscellaneous fees for her baby through the use of ancient and modern dolls, and at the same time, she will pay for all the interest-free loans she owes Chen Yu.

But she hoped that Chen Yu would send Li Yitong and Shang Yuxian to "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to broaden their horizons and see the world.

Dilraba Dilraba feels that even if the European and American film and television circles continue to expand and the European and American mainstream film awards lack authority and fairness, Chinese artists should bravely go out and take a look.

After all, being in the camera or standing on the red carpet means that Chinese culture is recognized by the vulgar European and American film and television industries.

But now many artists and fans say that our stuff does not need to be pointed out by a group of barbarians, because these people are not qualified to judge Chinese art.

Anyone who goes abroad is a fan of foreigners, but people of insight in the Chinese film and television industry resolutely resist this kind of closed-door view, thinking that this is a retrograde step!

The internal fragmentation in China's film and television industry has made major studios particularly troubled. However, in pursuit of profits, major studios have to block the Chinese film and television market and strictly inspect imported film and television works.

The reform plan proposed by Chen Daoming, the chairman of the Chinese Filmmakers Association who will take office next year, is an effort to cater to the interests of major studios while enhancing cultural output.

But as a result, well-known directors and major studios have further controlled the channels to go international, so that the creative environment for small and medium-sized directors has become more cramped and single.

Therefore, domestic art film directors led by Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai, and Xin Yukun all criticized Chen Daoming.

Criticize him as the chief culprit and culprit of forcing the Chinese film and television industry to be highly capitalized, commercialized and de-nationalized!

If Chen Yu beat Kimura Sho until his legs were paralyzed and exchanged insults with the Chinese table tennis team, these are the two most concerning events outside the entertainment industry, film and television industry.

So a group of Chinese art film directors collectively criticized Chen Daoming, which has been the focus of recent hot discussions among insiders.

It is precisely because Chen Daoming attracted all the attention of people in the industry that Chen Yu was protected from the criticism of his predecessors in the industry, otherwise a teacher would jump out and accuse him of poor conduct.

Therefore, Chen Yu just hid on the edge of the Western Sahara Desert and watched Chen Daoming's misfortune quietly, turning a blind eye to the olive branch secretly extended by the group of literary film directors.

Although after taking office, Chen Daoming will cater to the interests of major manufacturers and once again join hands with radio and television to raise the entry and review thresholds for imported film and television works, which indirectly infringes on Chen Yu's interests.

But Chen Yu doesn't mind being unlucky with his colleagues in the European and American film and television industries. He is afraid that Chen Daoming will deliberately cause harm and just use the Internet's tricks to target his works. "Don't worry, buddy, your current status is the only one in the Chinese film and television industry in the European and American film and television markets. They (she) cannot do anything to destroy the Great Wall."

Emmanuel has always believed that the Chinese film and television industry has a much higher moral standard than the average Chinese sports circle.

Chen Yu smiled and then sat on the white stone steps covered with fine grains of sand, flipping through the script for the next set of shots.

At this time, Keanu Reeves, who was wearing a suit, and Barbara, who was tightly wrapped in local clothing, walked towards this side. The two of them raised their heads and drank water towards Chen Yu.

Producer Guy Riddle initially suggested filming around five o'clock in the morning when the temperature was relatively low, but director Chad insisted on using the side of the scorching sun to highlight the embarrassment of the protagonists.

After drinking the electrolyte water, Keanu and Barbara pulled Chen Yu up together, preparing to find the rhythm of the action scene.

"The moment Keanu and I pull back our low hook kicks and side kicks at the same time, you take a running start and slide under our arms that are holding each other, do you understand?"

Chen Yu squatted down and grabbed a handful of yellow sand to feel the temperature and then looked at Barbara. The latter nodded and stomped on the ground hard and told the stylist that she wanted to change her jeans into leather pants.

Action director Stephen asked the three protagonists to find an angle to try their moves first. The most difficult point in this one-shot fight was that Chen Yu and Keanu had to retract their legs at the same time.

If they were just a little slower, they would destroy the beauty of flowing water and easily kick Barbara.

In the first rehearsal, because Chen Yu accommodated Keanu, he retracted his legs and slowed down, allowing Barbara to slide over and bump into his lap. Barbara rubbed her bear while looking at Chen Yu with a grin on her face.

Chen Yu hurriedly clasped his hands and bowed up and down to express his apology, while Keanu stretched out his hand to pull Barbara up again.

Action director Stephen hoped that Barbara would use a horse to cross when she was closer to Chen Yu and Keanu. Barbara asked Chen Yu and Keanu to stand still while she wanted to find a point.

"It's a bit close, not very safe." Chen Yu raised his elbow, shook it from side to side, and then pointed sideways at Keanu's arm. Chen Yu was worried that this distance would hit Barbara in the face.

Moreover, once fighting with Keanu, it might be difficult to control the range of movements. Barbara scratched her hair and re-discussed the design of fighting moves with action director Stephen.

Chen Yu thought of a fancy one and showed it to the three of them:
He didn't take a running start, but did a cartwheel on the spot and then slid to the middle of Keanu and Barbara, then swept with one leg on the ground. When the two retreated, he used a forward roll to get up.

Barbara bit her soft lips and went through the process in her mind, then broke down the entire set of actions and tried them one by one.

"I can't guarantee my balance if I do a one-arm cartwheel." Barbara squatted down and touched the slightly hot yellow sand. She didn't have Chen Yu's abnormal body control ability.

So in the final actual shooting, this action was changed to a cartwheel with both arms that was more suitable for her stretched and graceful figure.

"Stop, stop, stop, Barbara's direction has deviated too much." Director Chad, who was kneeling on one knee, raised his arms, while Chen Yu and Keanu winked and smiled unscrupulously.

Because the sand is relatively soft, Barbara's cartwheel shift will occur as long as the force on Barbara's arms is slightly uneven.

In order to pursue more impactful and enjoyable visual effects, this scene must be shot perfectly to the end.

Ninety minutes later, all the false nails on Barbara's left hand were gone.

But what made her most uncomfortable was that her crotch was frequently rubbed against the hot yellow sand as she was tossing and turning, causing pain and itchiness in her buttocks and inner thighs.

Chen Yu and Keanu were not much better either. Their heads and bodies were covered with yellow sand. The two of them plus one yuan and twenty-two spare sets of clean costumes and dry shoes and socks were already running low.

It was approaching two o'clock in the afternoon, and the average temperature of the air was about to exceed the safety threshold for outdoor shooting. Director Chad raised two fingers to indicate the last two.

Chen Yu and Keanu quickly washed their hair and changed their whole body equipment with the help of stylists and makeup artists.

Barbara simply took off only her underwear and panties and wiped her delicate body with clean water.

I have to say that the three protagonists were very dedicated and never complained from the beginning to the end in such a torturous environment.

In particular, Barbara's repeated cartwheels and cross-body contact with yellow sand left her with fine abrasions on her palms and backs and she had to endure physical discomfort.

"Chen, I now very doubt whether the two legs will be able to be together after this sequence of shots." Barbara turned her back and asked Chen Yu and the styling assistant to help fasten the bra neck strap.

Ms. Kelley, the team doctor, took an ice pack and massaged Barbara's inner thighs and applied Vaseline on her.

"Come on, guys," Director Chad shouted, clapping his hands.
