Rebirth Turn

Lu Yan stepped on the stirrup with one foot and put the other foot on the ground, holding the reins with his left hand, his whole body ready to go.

"Lu Yan, turn your body a little further, that's right, that's the direction. Very good, it's here, keep it up. After you start, take a look at the camera before getting on the horse." Chen Li, who was looking at the camera, was still adjusting his position.

"OK, take your place, Action!"

As the director's voice fell, Lu Yan quickly glanced at the camera, then turned around, propped his right hand on the back of the horse, stepped on the stirrup with a force, and the whole person flew up like the sky, and then sat firmly on the saddle . A series of movements are neat and tidy. After that, he tapped his right hand on the horse's butt, and the horse ran with its hooves up, with a roll of yellow sand behind it.

After riding for a while, the director's call to stop came from behind, Lu Yancai pulled the reins, and the horse's speed slowed down. Lu Yan turned around and slowly paced back on his horse.

Back at the starting place, a staff member came up to lead the horse, Lu Yan didn't wait for anyone to help him, put his hands on the horse's back, and slipped down on the stirrup on one side of his body.

Lu Yan handed the horse over to the staff and walked towards the director himself.

"Director Chen, how is it?"

"Well, very good," Chen Li nodded. "That one was over just now. You can look back and see for yourself. The angle and direction are all very good. In addition, your eyes are very good, very good."

"Okay, thank you Director Chen." Lu Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled lightly.

The shot that was launched just now has been shot seven or eight times, but most of the reason is that the angle of entry is not good enough.

After several months of filming, Lu Yan has become very accustomed to Chen Li's shooting rhythm. Basically, there are not many scenes that do not need to be retaken except for the literary dramas that are not very moving.

Chen Li pays special attention to the effect of entering the mirror, which may also be related to the fact that he was a photographer in his early years. But it is undeniable that it is his nitpicking that makes the movie better.

Chen Li was used to reviewing the filmed content of the day every night, and Lu Yan would come over to watch it together when he had nothing to do. Standing behind the camera and looking at it for comparison, I found out that the camera that Chen Li finally nodded through was the best. Lu Yan is eager to learn, and Chen Li is not stingy. He often explains to him why he uses this angle and what are the benefits of shooting in this way. Lu Yan learns things very quickly and has a strong understanding. He knows almost everything. From the very beginning, Chen Li had to strictly specify the angle and direction, even the height and the radian. Later, as soon as Chen Li opened his mouth, Lu Yan knew how to cooperate, and the number of retakes became less and less.

Filming with Chen Li is indeed more tiring than every time before, but the effect is also very obvious. Lu Yan has a stronger grasp and understanding of the camera.

Lu Yan felt very happy, and being able to learn more things was even more exciting than working with a heavyweight director.

Chen Li raised his head and glanced at Lu Yan, and said with a smile, "How is it, can you still bear it?"

Lu Yan smiled, "Of course, no problem."

Chen Li patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, go to eat first, take a rest, the afternoon games will be more difficult."

The two walked while chatting about the details of the next few scenes.

To be honest, from the very beginning, Chen Li didn't know anything about Lu Yan. Every actor who comes to audition he will know in advance. Lu Yan's appearance is good, the type that will make people feel good at first sight, but Chen Li has been filming for so many years, he has seen many actors, and there are a lot of good-looking ones. What is not lacking is hue. Lu Yan is the best actor in Cannes, but people still say that his actor was too lucky. Chen Li is not a person who only listens to rumors to make judgments, let alone a young actor who can make Han Yuan nominate and cooperate with him, there is always something special about him.

After working together for a period of time, Chen Li confirmed this judgment. Lu Yan is a person who is very comfortable to get along with. He keeps a proper distance from others without making people feel indifferent. Sometimes he is enthusiastic but not hypocritical. He also jokes but is very measured. He never talks or does things. Not embarrassing or embarrassing. Of course, if he is only good at being a human being, he is not a good actor, but Lu Yan not only has good acting skills, but also works hard enough. There is a saying that the scariest thing in the world is that people who are more talented than you work harder than you. Lu Yan is such a person.

What Chen Li admires most is Lu Yan's work attitude. He is already a person who strives for perfection, and Lu Yan is sometimes more serious than him. He had seen Lu Yan rehearsing alone for the next day's shooting several times. Even in his critical eyes, he thought it was a good performance, and Lu Yan wanted to do better. Moreover, Lu Yan is not rigid, does not hold useless self-esteem, asks if he does not understand, and never pretends to understand. Such actors are Chen Li's favorite.

So, success is never accidental. Chen Li just wanted to sneer at those remarks that Lu Yan was just lucky. With such good talent and conditions, he can still work so hard. If he doesn't succeed, then God will not open his eyes.

However, no one knew that Lu Yan, before his rebirth, was in such a situation that "God doesn't open his eyes". Sometimes at midnight, Lu Yan would break out in a cold sweat. He didn't know if he was in a dream now, or if it was just a dream in his previous life. All he can do is to seize the present and cherish everything.

After eating the lunch box distributed by the crew, Lu Yan was called away by the costumer Sister He.

Sister He took Lu Yan to the dressing room, put out a set of clothes, and smiled mysteriously, "Come on, Lu Yan, try this wedding dress. I just made it and sent it, try to see if it fits, no If it fits, I'll change it for you."

Lu Yan's eyes lit up. This men's Tang Shishi wedding dress was a bright red, called crimson and vermilion in ancient times. The sleeves are unfolded, and the sleeve hem is almost down to the knee. The white girdle and skirt look both generous and gorgeous.

After Lu Yan put it on, Sister He looked around him and complimented him, "It's great, so handsome, such a groom will definitely be fascinated."

Lu Yan tossed with Sister He for a while, and then said, "It's very troublesome to make a dress like this. Is it necessary just for those one or two shots?"

"Of course it's necessary!" Sister He said seriously. She is the royal costumer of Chen Li's films. She is responsible for the clothing, including style and fabric, for almost every film made by Chen Li. This is her responsibility. Professionalism is also her interest. "Clothing, especially in such a costume film, is the decoration of a film. If you get it right, it will be the icing on the cake. If you don't get it right, it will become a big failure. It must not be sloppy.”

"Yes, Sister He is right, I was wrong." Lu Yan smiled, "Then, are the women's wedding dresses ready?"

"Of course," Sister He said proudly, "do you want to take a look?"

"Yeah." Lu Yan nodded.

Sister He quickly pushed out another set of clothes. The women's Tang Zhishi wedding dress is a cyan dress with wide sleeves, but the sleeves are not as long as the men's. There are two sleeves, and the sleeves and the front are embroidered with delicate patterns. The skirt inside is a shallow layer of blue, and it is also embroidered with delicate patterns. The outermost layer is also covered with a layer of gauze.

Lu Yan stared at the women's wedding dress for a long time, and finally frowned.

Lu Yan turned to Sister He, "Sister He, can I ask you a favor for something?"

"You said." Sister He said.

Lu Yan smiled a little embarrassedly, leaned over and whispered a few words.

"This," Sister He hesitated, "it can be done, but what are you going to use it for?"

Lu Yan smiled, "It's inconvenient to say the reason for the time being, you can just treat me as a collection. It doesn't matter how much you want."

"That's not what I meant," Sister He waved her hand. "Actually, it doesn't cost much. Well, I'll do it for you."

"Thank you, Sister He." Lu Yan smiled and cupped his hands.

"Okay," Sister He said with a smile, "you're welcome, just give me a few more autographed photos later."

"No problem, you can have as many as you want. But I'll ask Sister He to keep it a secret for me." Lu Yan said.

"Yo, it's still so mysterious. Don't worry, Sister He, I'm not a talkative person, just don't say it." Sister He also agreed very readily.

The filming in the afternoon was one of the highlights of the whole movie. Wang Xuance led 7,000 cavalry to attack the rebellious country. The scene was extremely huge.

This scene was all long-range shots, and the close-up shots had already been shot before. Because the camera is far away, it is difficult to see the face clearly, and such a big scene also has certain dangers. Generally, some actors will choose to use stand-ins at such times, and the cautious director will even take the initiative to suggest.

Chen Li also asked Lu Yan if he wanted to use a stand-in, but Lu Yan refused directly. On the one hand, he likes to fight in person. The man's husband always has a special liking for the scenes of blood boiling. In reality, it is impossible to really go to war. Of course, if you have the opportunity in the movie, you must experience it. On the other hand, he is also very confident in himself. Whether it is riding or controlling his body, he can do what a stuntman can do, and he is confident that he can do better.

Chen Li was not reluctant, but explained that Lu Yan must pay attention to safety and not be stubborn, and finally said jokingly, "In order to live up to your bravery in battle, I will try my best to ask the photographer to give you a few close-ups."

"That's the best." Lu Yan also said with a smile.

The helicopter with the photographer hanging overhead roared, and the surrounding cameras were also aimed at the shooting point from all angles.

Although there are not as many as tens of thousands of people, the mobilization of hundreds of extras can also create the momentum of thousands of troops.

Lu Yan rode on the horse and continued to charge in the direction of his assistant, pulling the bridle in one hand and wielding the long sword in the other. As the horses ran fast, a gust of wind whistled in his ears, showing the courage of a decisive battle.

It was the first time for Lu Yan to shoot such a scene as the protagonist. In his previous life, he was only qualified to be a soldier running back and forth, looking up in the crowd, hiding his desires and dreams.

But now, he is already being looked up to at once.

Lu Yan felt extremely happy that all the disappointment and depression in the previous life were getting further and further away from him in this back and forth sprint.

As far as the current world is all but a dream, look forward, always look forward. Grasp and cherish all that has been gained and cannot be lost!

Lu Yan's riding skills were as superb as he had promised, and he even performed a few difficult and thrilling but beautiful movements on horseback.

After the filming was over, until Lu Yan jumped off the horse, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Xia, who was in charge of managing the horses and ensuring the safety of the actors, rode his horse over and exclaimed excitedly, "The movements just now were so beautiful, where did you learn them?"

Lu Yan naturally said what he had thought of for a long time, "When I traveled to the prairie before, I met a herdsman with superb riding skills and learned a few skills."

Gao Xia gave a thumbs up, "Amazing!"

In fact, it was learned from a stuntman in a previous life. That stuntman often performs some difficult moves for some big stars. Doing the most dangerous jobs for relatively meager wages. this is the truth!

Chen Li patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "It's wonderful! But it's still a little dangerous. You don't have to fight like this, and I won't give you more money."

Lu Yan laughed, "Don't worry, Director Chen, I am measured."

"That's good," Chen Li laughed. "Safety comes first. If you have an accident on my crew, the fans will tear me apart. But, it's really exciting!"

"Thank you Director Chen for the compliment." Lu Yan smiled.
