Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 12 Fighting
June 23rd.

The tenth day of filming for Rurouni Kenshin.

Because the broadcast date is in late July, Shi Peihua's filming schedule is not so tight.

These days, Gu Qingyuan, who had the full script of Rurouni Kenshin in his hands, was repeatedly studying the script of Rurouni Kenshin while the crew was filming other people's scenes.

Originally, she thought this work was a short story that was mainly about family and country, with some romance as a supplement.

But after reading the script, my opinion completely changed.

There is indeed a sense of family and country, but more importantly, it is the love-hate entanglement between Tomoe Yukishiro and Kenshin Himura.

If you insist on talking about the core story of Kenshin's Memories, it is indeed very simple.

A woman whose fiancé died fell in love with the man who killed her fiancé.

But when the protagonists of such a simple story are two extremely charming characters, Kenshin Himura and Tomoe Yukishiro, the appeal of the story increases exponentially.

And most importantly, the ending of this story.

Gu Qingyuan still remembers how he felt after reading the script of the fourth volume of Rurouni Kenshin.

It felt like my heart was hollowed out. I felt uncomfortable and wanted to say something but couldn't.

Not only did I feel uncomfortable the whole day, but I also dreamed about the related characters that night.

When I came to the crew and saw Su Yan the next day, an indescribable depressed emotion arose.

What on earth is going on in this guy's head?
Of course, while waiting for her scenes to start filming, the shock she received from the crew of this low-budget web drama was far more than that.
There is no need to mention Shi Peihua's directing ability. Although she had few opportunities due to offending TV station leaders in the past and she has never been famous, her level was demonstrated by everyone in the crew on just the third day of filming.

From top to bottom, Gu Qingyuan couldn't find any fault with the planning after the filming began, the control of the crew, the lighting, and the photographer's scheduling.

As for the producer Ikumi Shinozaki, who is about the same age as her, although she may not be very skilled in the business, she has managed to arrange everything on the crew in an orderly manner.

But the most perverted and shocking one.

It was undoubtedly Su Yan.

Forgive her for using the word "perverted" to describe the screenwriter Su Yan.

Because it's not just her, everyone in the crew probably has similar thoughts.

First of all, there are a lot of fighting scenes in the drama Rurouni Kenshin.

It can even be said that a large part of the crew's funds is used to find these martial arts extras who can perform fighting scenes.

On the first day of filming for Rurouni Kenshin, the first scene was Kenshin attacking an important official in Kyoto in the middle of the night.

This is a one-on-many sword fighting scene in which Kenshin suddenly kills Kiyosato, Yukishiro Tomoe's fiancé in the story.

Before filming this scene, Su Yan was silent for a long time as he looked at the action storyboard he had designed.

Then he said something to the group of martial arts actors and actresses.

"We won't use the same moves. You guys try it out, and then when we're filming, use your fastest speed and most gorgeous moves to attack me."

“Then we were free to play.”

At first, everyone thought Su Yan was showing off, including Shi Peihua, who frowned.

Who do you look down on?

Even when acting, setting scenes, and doing action scenes, actors often get injured.

If someone is not careful enough during free play, what's the point of filming?

But Su Yan insisted, and producer Shinozaki Ikumi agreed with a curious and excited expression.

Shi Peihua didn't know what to say, so she reminded the martial arts actors to be gentle and it didn't matter if there were some NGs, but they must not let anyone get hurt.

Wait until Shi Peihua shouts "start" to the camera.

Gu Qingyuan witnessed a gorgeous live-action fighting performance.

A fight that can be called art.

Su Yan kicked her calves at the moment the filming started, her body accelerated, her long black hair fluttered in the moonlight, and her ancient costume rustled because of the fast speed.

As the sword was swung, the actor closest to him felt a slight pain in his abdomen. The blood in the blood bag instantly seeped through his clothes, and then he reacted extremely quickly and fell down pretending to be dead.

As soon as Su Yan made a move, the expressions of all the extras changed. They knew that the screenwriter of this crew was genuine. They no longer hesitated and joined in the fight.
But Su Yan's speed, flexibility, and physical explosiveness during the fight were like a cat in human form. The martial arts actors recruited by the crew who had been practicing since childhood could not keep up with Su Yan's speed at all and could not even touch him.

The unsharpened sword in Su Yan's hand often stabbed their chests, abdomens, legs, and throats at an incredible angle.
The moment when Su Yan's unsharpened swords collided with those in their hands, the force from the extras' hands made their palms numb, and the swords almost slipped out of their hands.

It's not just ruthless. The actors who have learned martial arts superficially can see that the swordsmanship Su Yan displayed with the prop sword is a system of its own. The moves he used to attack did not actually fully exert the lethality. Often at the end, Su Yan would deliberately hold back to make the moves look better.
This is a movie after all.

The scene was completed in just ten seconds.

The director Shi Peihua, who had been scolding whoever he caught on the set, was also stunned. He opened his mouth, unable to say anything.

How to evaluate?

Is she qualified to comment?
Without wires or steel cables, Su Yan jumped up and down in the dark alley in ten seconds, jumping back and forth three times on the two- or three-meter-high eaves as if walking on flat ground without even taking a breath.
What kind of physical fitness is this?

Ultimately, Su Yan was still not satisfied with this scene, as the extras didn't react well at first and looked a bit dull, so he had to reshoot it twice.

Another two art battles.

The extras looked confused after the performance and doubted their professionalism. From that day on, Shi Peihua did not interrupt Su Yan in the fighting scenes and let him do whatever he wanted.

Until today
On the night of the full moon, the crew had already prepared a sprinkler truck to simulate rainfall.

Before that, the lonely scene of Yukishiro Tomoe coming to Kyoto and drinking alone in the pub was filmed.

The next scene to be filmed is the fight scene where Kenshin Himura fights against the masked man using chains on a rainy night.

Looking at the original manga of Rurouni Kenshin, anyone who is not killed instantly by Kenshin can be called a master.

This chained man not only fought back and forth with Kenshin in a short period of time, but also slightly suppressed Kenshin, who was the most murderous at the age of fifteen.

Unfortunately, in the reminiscence chapter, he doesn't even deserve a name.

But shooting this kind of serial fighting scenes requires set moves, otherwise others will not be able to react to Su Yan's sword moves at all.

The entire crew was outside the shooting area looking at Su Yan and the martial arts actor who was hired at a high price.

At least the money spent on hiring him was higher than the starring fees of Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan, and they only filmed two scenes.

In this fight in the first episode, and in the snowy woods in the fourth episode, he will play another masked character who ambushes Kenshin.

One night shoot.
This scene has been NG for the eighth time.

The moves were planned long ago, but Su Yan was too fast, so even if the moves were prepared, the opponent would not be able to react in time.
"Teacher Su Yan, have you ever thought about not being a screenwriter and becoming an action actor?"

After filming another NG, the martial arts actor who had fought with Su Yan eight times was panting and looking at Su Yan with shining eyes.

"With your strength, you will definitely become Xia Country's leading martial arts superstar in the future. I'm just too ugly, so I can only be a martial arts stunt double for others. This has always been my regret, but you are different. Your movements, reactions, speed and physical fitness are all better than mine. Most importantly, you are handsome."

"Not interested." Su Yan said.

I have been using the system swordsmanship to film these days and have become familiar with this skill.

Although it is a bit painful to stop every time when I am about to use all my strength to hurt someone.

The other party's proposal is indeed interesting.

But the system requires him to earn emotional points through his previous works before he can redeem other works and skills. So, being a martial arts superstar sounds good, but it is far inferior to the value of the system.

"What a pity." The other party shook his head.

The artificial rainfall from the sprinkler truck started again, and water droplets fell from above his head, slightly blocking Su Yan's vision.

Su Yan clenched the sword in his hand and started to fight as Master Peihua said.
The ninth fight between Su Yan and his opponent began.

The other party has also been practicing martial arts since childhood. Although he may not have learned the art of killing, his speed and strength are definitely far beyond that of ordinary people, so he can keep up with Su Yan's movements.

First there was a series of conventional exploratory fighting moves, with both sides going back and forth. Although no one was serious, the people outside the set watching this scene didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Because they fought so beautifully, they were afraid of making any noise that would affect the other two's performance.

Then the battle intensified.

The masked man standing on the eaves swung the chain in his hand and flew towards Su Yan like a horse harness, and Su Yan was tactfully caught in it.

The opponent also jumped down from the eaves according to the predetermined set of moves.
Kenshin's eyes narrowed, and a hint of murderous intent spread across his expression.

The entire series of actions is completed within two seconds.

Bang!

When the prop lightning lit up and illuminated the two people, it also added a solemn atmosphere to the fight scene.

Su Yan's Jian Xin twisted his wrist and turned the sword he was holding. Although his body was bound by chains, he broke free of part of his body at the moment the opponent flew over, and the sword blade lightly passed through the opponent's body from head to toe.
The prop team that had been prepared long ago sprinkled some blood-red substances from a high place.

With a little editing and special effects in post-production, a shot of a real person being cut in half can be produced.

And as Su Yan swung his sword in front of him, cutting something into two pieces.

The rain mixed with blood formed an arc and flew forward.

The photographer's lens slowly shifts.
There, a woman in white, holding an oil-paper umbrella, appeared. She was indifferent, independent, and so beautiful that it took one's breath away.

His body, face, and clothes were covered with blood from Kenshin's sword.
The stunningly beautiful white face was stained with blood.

It was raining heavily, and the woman and man holding an umbrella looked at each other.

The whole scene is like an art painting.

Throughout the entire shooting scene, everyone's eyes were fixed, and Shi Peihua's expression was even more solemn.

Gu Qingyuan's character Tomoe Yukishiro stood for a few seconds before slowly speaking, saying the line that Kenshin and Tomoe Yukishiro first met.
