Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

What's even more impressive is that it extends at an extremely fast speed, so fast that it can achieve the effect of high-speed flight without any post-production special effects.

At this moment, Brother Tian was pleasantly surprised by the situation.

But what we are more worried about at this time is the failure of Jiang Nianhui.

If the last reed isn't stepped on, the shoot will be a failure.

This is also a huge challenge for the actors.

As a director, he had personally experienced the feeling of being suspended by wires, which was extremely painful. The wires felt like they were tightly constricting your waist, and to prevent even the slightest slippage, they kept you firmly suspended.

So it's not just the waist.

Even your arms and legs will be secured with a rope, making the whole process very stable and ensuring that every movement you make achieves the desired effect.

But this also means that one will suffer great pain.

Because the corset rope can be a little longer, and then removed later.

However, the movements on the arms and limbs are extremely complicated and involve a wide range of motion.

It's difficult to do well if you use very thick ropes, as the exposure effect is very strong.

Therefore, very fine thread must be used to do it.

Therefore, at this moment they are using steel wires as thin as a hair as ropes to bind Jiang Nian's limbs.

This would be an experience like hell for most people.

The rope, though so thin, was bound so tightly it felt as if it were trying to sever his arm, causing him great discomfort.

Moreover, during such a dangerous process, all of his body weight was concentrated on those ropes.
This means that the pain he will endure will be even greater.

Many people have even developed a psychological trauma after being suspended by these hair-thin wires, and have never dared to touch wires again.

This could even be called a fear of wires.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Nian remained calm and showed no sign of panic.

The moment he was lifted up by the wire, Jiang Nian felt as if he had gained the ability to fly. He was confident that he could stabilize himself in the air by relying on his powerful strength.

Then, precisely locate the reeds and step on them, circulating your internal energy. Just as your feet are about to touch the reeds, inject your internal energy into them, making the soft reeds as hard as steel while retaining their original flexibility, thus propelling yourself away.

This is what is known as "lightness skill" or "water-walking," which doesn't mean a person can stand on the water at will; it's also in accordance with the laws of physics.

Oh, I see. That's interesting.

Jiang Nian suddenly realized that he had thought the so-called "stepping on reeds" in those martial arts dramas was actually because the opponent was light, strong, and fast enough. Now it seemed that it was entirely because the reeds themselves had been strengthened to withstand hundreds of kilograms of weight.

So even if they stand on it, as long as their balance is good enough, they can stand steadily.

The visual effect is as if they are gently stepping on the reeds, and the effect is so magical.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Nian no longer hesitated. Now that he had figured out the situation, everything would be much easier.

Jiang Nian immediately stepped on a reed, transferring his internal energy to it, making it as hard as steel, and using its flexibility to propel himself away.

The whole process seemed extremely long, but in reality it only took less than a moment, as fast as lightning, and was successful in the blink of an eye.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Jiang began to run quickly through the reeds, as if he were really using his lightness skill to fly over the reeds. This scene left Brother Tian and Xu Ke dumbfounded, their faces full of confusion and doubt. How could this be?
He didn't understand why such a simple martial arts drama could have such a wonderful effect.

But think about it carefully.

Even he himself was at a loss for words to describe it.

After all, this was beyond his comprehension.

"Wow, Teacher Jiang Nian is amazing!"

Brother Tian was so excited that he was incoherent, although he didn't know how Jiang Nian had done it.

And it looks incredibly incredible.

But at least the effect is absolutely perfect, and that alone is enough to pass.

"Director Tian, ​​look!"

Xu Ke excitedly pointed to the footage on the camera and exclaimed.

Xu Ke looked at Brother Tian in confusion, wondering what he was so excited about. He wasn't blind; how could he not see clearly?
Brother Tian was fully aware of the entire situation just now. From the start of Jiang Nian's challenge to flying onto the reeds and crossing the lake, the whole process took only three or four seconds and didn't take much time.

In such a short time, it's impossible to get a good result; it might take more than ten takes to succeed.

Even Jiang Nian, an actor whose top-notch acting skills are recognized by the entire industry, would probably be powerless in this situation.

"look!"

Just as Brother Tian was sighing sadly, the teacher in charge of props pointed at the screen in surprise and exclaimed.

Brother Tian looked displeased:

"What are you chattering about? You scared the hell out of me!"

Following the prop master's finger, Brother Tian looked over and saw the screen showing the scene of Jiang Nian being suspended by wires and flying towards the lake.

There's nothing wrong with that, it's just normal video shooting.

What's so surprising?
"what?"

Brother Tian was suddenly stunned, exclaimed, and stared straight at the screen.

What appeared before him was the sight of Jiang Nian flying swiftly across the lake on reeds, as if the wires didn't exist; Jiang Nian was as light as a swallow.

As he took off on the wire, he stepped onto the first reed. The reed bent slightly and then, as if to lend him a helping hand, bounced him up. The whole scene looked very smooth and harmonious.

If that were all, it could be considered a coincidence. One can only marvel at how well Jiang Nian, a master of acting, can even deliver such a stellar performance in a martial arts drama.

But what happened next completely stunned Brother Tian.

Jiang Nian then stepped onto the reeds with each of his next steps.

What's even more amazing is that Jiang Nian has a very good grasp of this balance. He always steps on the top of the reeds, as if he is using them to gently gain leverage, only making them bend slightly.

Even a person weighing around 130 pounds like Jiang Nian would be extremely stable on it, as if a feather were gently placed on it.

Then the reeds even bounced up on their own, giving Jiang Nian a boost so he could leap up again.

In this way, Jiang Nian stepped on a total of twenty reeds from beginning to end.

Keep in mind that the entire lake is only forty meters long. This means that Jiang Nian can leap two meters with each reed he steps on. Isn't that true lightness skill?
"Amazing! Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

Brother Tian shouted excitedly, his eyes shining. This was the first time since he retired from the entertainment industry that he had regained hope and interest in his work.

"Teacher Jiang Nian!"

Brother Tian shouted excitedly.

At this moment, Xu Ke and the prop master all knew how amazing Jiang Nian's performance was. It was beyond human capability. This was not just divine acting; it was as if a god was acting!
All three of them stood up excitedly, looking at Jiang Nian with admiration.

Jiang Nian had already returned to the other side, unfastened the harness, and walked back. Seeing the three people staring at him in surprise, Jiang Nian didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"What's wrong? Teachers, haven't we gone too far?"

Jiang Nian said matter-of-factly.

Please, even if my performance was mediocre, the filming result would still have been approved. Even if it had been anyone else, as long as they could have stepped on the reeds...

Moreover, every step lands perfectly, creating classic scenes in acting; how could it possibly be anything less than perfect?

Seeing Jiang Nian's nonchalant and indifferent attitude, the three teachers felt somewhat helpless.

Brother Tian was filled with excitement that was hard to calm down. It was as if this was a very important event that deserved to be celebrated, even to the point of setting off firecrackers. It was a classic event that could be recorded in history. But Jiang Nian just accepted it so calmly.

"No way, Teacher Jiang Nian, don't you know how valuable what you just did was?"

This is something that could be included in textbooks!

Brother Tian was so excited he was incoherent, gesturing wildly at Jiang Nian.

The actors around them, witnessing this scene, felt no envy whatsoever; instead, they were all filled with admiration.

Because at that moment, Jiang Nian's power had far exceeded their ability to catch up.

As the saying goes, when you can look up to someone and still have the desire to catch up, or even feel jealous and want to surpass them, this is a healthy competitive mentality.

But Jiang Nian's actions just now.

Even a super martial artist who has practiced martial arts for forty or fifty years since childhood and become a top master would be considered impressive if he could step on two or three of them here. He is no match for Jiang Nian at all!

In this situation, you can't be jealous or compete; you can only admire.

At that moment, everyone present was truly in awe.

You should know that everyone who gets into this big production crew is a top-notch actor with excellent acting skills. Even the worst actors are at least national level two actors. None of them are ordinary extras.

Therefore, each of them is full of confidence and pride, and each of them believes that they will definitely have the opportunity to try again in the future, become a national first-class actor, and become one of the most outstanding people.

It can be said that among a group of geniuses, they were all impressed by and even worshipped Jiang Nian.

"Director Tian, ​​you flatter me."

Jiang Nian smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Then quickly change the subject.

"Director, how's the effect?"
Let's move on to the next scene.

"well."

Tian was about to say something, but Jiang Nian led him astray, and he had no idea what he was about to do.

Jiang Nian then led him by the nose to continue filming.

Brother Tian, ​​who had just sat down, suddenly realized:

"That's not right..."

He wanted to say something more to Jiang Nian.

But he didn't know where to begin. At this moment, Brother Tian was speechless, shaking his head and smiling bitterly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

What impressed me even more was that, as an elderly man nearing sixty, he not only held a pivotal position in acting, directing, and filming, but was also a wise man in terms of life experience.

Therefore, he knew very well that Jiang Nian was so calm and composed at such a young age, and could even lead him, an older man with more life experience, astray in conversation. What wisdom and temperament this was!
At that moment, Brother Tian suddenly understood why those particularly critical directors in the industry, who were all known as devil directors, praised Jiang Nian so highly. How could they not praise him?
Even Brother Tian felt that Jiang Nian's acting skills had reached an extremely high level.

At that moment, a phrase that had recently become very popular online suddenly came to Tian Ge's mind:

"If you don't become an actor, you'll see me like a frog in a well looking at the moon; if you do become an actor, you'll see me like a floating creature looking at the blue sky."

Previously, Brother Tian only had a slight feeling about this sentence.

After all, he is in the hearts of other actors.

It is as high and mighty as the blue sky.

They are unattainable, like gods.

But now all Brother Tian wants to say is, you're all wrong. How could my abilities possibly be worthy of the heavens?
In your hearts, I am the clear sky.

But in my heart, I am nothing more than a relatively large floating creature.

But Jiang Nian is the true beacon of justice.

At this moment, Brother Tian was full of confidence, whereas before he had some doubts about filming this movie.

After all, he had never filmed a martial arts film before, and the scenes in the movie were all very difficult. In addition, in the movie "Swordsman" that Xu Ke directed, in order to make the plot more beautiful and to prevent the action scenes from looking low-class, Xu Ke deliberately chose to cut all these high-level action scenes and use other simple action scenes to increase the aesthetic appeal of the drama. This is also a kind of wisdom.

However, Jiang Nian insisted that the special effects in this film not only had to be perfect.

Moreover, having to film all the difficult scenes is essentially digging a hole for oneself.

But now Brother Tian doesn't think so anymore. A burning flame even ignites in his eyes. At this moment, he is more motivated than Jiang Nian, Xu Ke, and the prop master. This will be a classic martial arts drama that will go down in history!
In the past, no drama series has been able to compare with this one, and for at least the next six months, no other drama series will be able to match its quality.

Brother Tian dares to guarantee that in the next hundred years, there will never be another actor who can compare with Jiang Nian.

Then they started filming scenes of Jiang Nian scaling walls and leaping across rooftops.

“Teacher Jiang Nian, this scene mainly involves a battle on a wall, but it is very difficult.”

Brother Tian said,
"First, you need to be suspended from the wall by wires and appear as light as a feather, and you must not appear extremely clumsy. This is very difficult, and even the top martial arts actors probably cannot do it."

So we filmed this scene two hundred times before we found a suitable way to help the actor get into the right feeling.

Teacher Jiang Nian, don't rush this scene. Let's get into the right mindset first.

Brother Tian said, and then turned off the camera directly. The meaning couldn't be clearer: he didn't believe Jiang Nian could do it in one take.

If the difficulty of flying over the reeds was hellish, impossible to film well, then it was simply impossible to succeed without at least a hundred attempts. (End of Chapter)
