Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

"I don't know. Director Xia should know his limits."

"Let's go to the casting." Chu Zhongtian also shook his head.

Although he was very worried about Xia Yuan's condition, he also knew that what Xia Yuan was doing was actually very dangerous.

But he also knew Xia Yuan very well.

Maybe in other aspects, Xia Yuan is a very easy-to-talk-to person with a very good temper and a very stable personality, but once it comes to his work, it’s a different story.

As for his works, once he has made up his mind, no one can change his mind.

Stubborn!

He might listen to you talk about other things, but when it comes to your work, sorry, no matter how much you say, it will be useless. Xia Yuan's principles are all about his senior and his work.

So Chu Zhongtian, knowing that he couldn't persuade others, could only turn around and take care of his own things.

Chu Zhongtian didn’t dare to intervene, let alone others.

At first, in the first few days, they could still hear some noise in the room, but later on, the noise became smaller and smaller, and finally it was completely silent, and no noise could be heard at all.

This made everyone outside feel very sad and worried that something might have happened to Xia Yuan.

If the meals delivered every day had not disappeared at a fixed time and place, leaving behind leftover lunch boxes, they might have suspected that something had happened to Xia Yuan in there.

It was not until half a month later, which was the originally scheduled shooting day, that Xia Yuan's tightly closed door slowly opened.

Xia Yuan walked out step by step.

Outside the room, many people were already waiting.

Until the moment they met Xia Yuan, even though they were prepared and knew that their director Xia was going to use experience to get into the role, there would definitely be more or less changes, but they were still shocked.

Xia Yuan, who had just come out of the room, looked thin.

Originally, after Xia Yuan's pace of life slowed down in the past few years, he had fallen into the embarrassing situation that people of this age would fall into - gaining weight.

Even the fans couldn't help but tease him, saying that Xia Yuan was starting to become arrogant.

But now Xia Yuan looks extremely thin.

He has become much thinner, his eye sockets are slightly sunken, and he has dark circles under his eyes.

The clothes he was wearing were extremely dirty, with many colored stains on them, mainly green, red, white, and some purple.

All the words that everyone had intended to say to welcome the event were stuck at this moment.

Especially the actresses, when they saw Xia Yuan's eyes sweeping over them, they all felt their hair stand on end.

Because that look was so scary.

Obviously, Xia Yuan's face didn't show any micro-expressions, nor did he make any eye movements. It was just a very calm glance, but it made people feel their hair stand on end.

"What are you all doing standing here? Do you think I won't come out?" Xia Yuan spoke.

If you listen carefully, it is not difficult to find that Xia Yuan's voice is slightly different from usual, and the tone is slightly sharper.

"No, Director Xia, the filming will start today." said an actress.

"Okay, let's go."

Xia Yuan didn't say anything, he just took the lead and turned around and walked away.

Everyone followed without saying a word.

The atmosphere was unusually silent.

The set is very large, mainly in an independently built studio that has been built to look like a bank.

The opening ceremony was also carried out in accordance with Heye's tradition, and was simplified as much as possible, so the process went very quickly.

After all, their usual habit is to hold a launch ceremony on the same day and then start filming on the same day.

At first they were very confused as to what was stuck on Xia Yuan's body and why he was so dirty.

That is, after Xia Yuan changed his makeup, this problem was instantly solved.

Xia Yuan directed the makeup artist to do his own makeup. It took him two hours to do the makeup.

Even special effects makeup artists were used.

Because of his makeup, he needs to install a prosthesis around his mouth, which is directly embedded in his mouth to create the effect of a scar.

Then, there are the hair that was dyed green, the rough white base of the face that looked like it had been scraped with putty, and the blood-red, swollen mouth with a knife scar.

At this moment, the entire crew seemed to have pressed the pause button, and everyone looked at Xia Yuan's makeup in shock.

"It's over. I just took a quick look and I felt a little scared."

"This makeup is so impressive, including Director Xia's eyes, it really makes my hair stand on end."

"It overturned my perception of Director Xia's skills. In the past, Director Xia was mostly in comedies, even Let the Bullets Fly, which was full of nonsense and black humor. Chu Yunfei was probably the only serious character. But I didn't expect that Xia Yuan would be so good at playing a villain."

"Wake up, the performance hasn't even started yet, has Director Xia already started to get into the role?"

"It's terrible. With this kind of aura, who can handle the show? I don't know how much pressure those actors are under."

The crew members sighed and talked, preparing for the first shot and discussing the mental state that the actors might be in.

Actually?

In fact, it’s pretty much the same.

Do those actors feel a lot of psychological pressure?
It’s huge. It’s so big.

Even Chu Zhongtian now feels very depressed and nervous.

He hasn't been in this mental state for many years. After all, he is now a veteran and is well-known for his good acting skills.

But even he, after seeing Xia Yuan's condition and aura at this moment, did not dare to guarantee whether he could take over Xia Yuan's role.

After a while, he thought secretly and finally came to a conclusion: Difficult!
Yes, it's difficult.

But the problem is, he has to catch it, and he has to catch it beautifully.

Fortunately, he had plenty of time to prepare, because the first scene was not a scene between him and Xia Yuan.

Instead, it is the rivalry between Xia Yuan and several American actors from Hollywood.

Originally, those actors who came from Hollywood had no pressure.

Although they also knew Xia Yuan's name and knew that Xia Yuan was a big director.

But a director is a director, and Xia Yuan has never directed or acted in a movie in Hollywood.

In their opinion, he is just a director. Even if he is a great international director, his acting skills cannot compare with those of professional actors, right?
However, at this moment, they knew that they might be wrong.

But now that things have come to this, they have to work hard to prepare for the next filming mission that is about to come.

The first scene to be filmed was a scene with a highly difficult shot.

That is, the bank robbery scene
Everyone made preparations under this heavy pressure, and then the script supervisor came forward to make the decision and start shooting.

"Three, two, one, Action!"

Bang! (End of this chapter)
