After the filming was completed, I awakened my superpowers.

Chapter 77: The Magician Crew! Is the start so exciting?

……

The next day.

Sheng Yixia spent the whole day reading the script, figuring out the character, writing a biography, and constantly trying to put herself into the role of magician Zhao Xingyao.

The more he thought about it, the more he found this character interesting, and there was still a lot that could be explored.

Just as Sister Zhang Qing said, once an actor fits a role, the more he thinks about it, the more excited he becomes, feeling that this is the embodiment of his or her ideal.

When Sheng Yixia was a child, in addition to the dream of becoming a scientist, he also thought of himself as the kind of chivalrous thief who came and went without a trace, robbing the rich to help the poor, playing around in the world, and letting the world know about his legendary deeds, but keeping his achievements and fame hidden.

Because of this.

Sheng Yixia felt that if he thought about it carefully and acted well, he should be able to bring the magician Zhao Xingyao to life. Coupled with the popularity of this online movie, the cast, and the director lineup, maybe he could really draw a role card.

Thinking of the character card, Sheng Yixia became more attentive. He pondered over the plot and lines concerning Zhao Xingyao over and over again, and wrote down any awkward or uncomfortable parts with a red pen.

Another day passed.

Zhang Qing came to pick up Sheng Yixia early in the morning.

After he got in the car, he found that Gu Yonghan, Yu Zi and Chi Yu were already in the car. Most likely, Zhang Qing wanted Sheng Yixia to rest for a while, so she was the last one to pick him up.

Everyone chatted along the way and time passed quickly.

Sheng Yixia also took the opportunity to chat with Brother Gu about the script, and discussed with him some things that she didn't understand. Gu Yonghan was indeed a veteran actor, and he was able to understand the plot in just a few words.

In fact, the screenwriter of this movie is also very strong. He is a big name in the industry. His plot design is interlocking, the development is very neat, and there are many exciting points. At the beginning, Zhao Xingyao played a trick on Huang Laocai.

It also foreshadows and sets the tone for the entire drama.

The ending is both reasonable and unexpected.

All in all it's a good show.

She is countless times stronger than the bionic girlfriend he saw at the beginning.

This is the skill of some professional screenwriters who have achieved great success. They are definitely much better than Sheng Yixia.

More than an hour later.

The car arrived at the H City Republic Film and Television City.

Everyone reunited with the crew, and Zhang Qing took Chi Yu away to work on projects elsewhere.

She is now a big mother-in-law, and her work enthusiasm has been improved.

The investors, producers, production team and main actors completed a ceremonial opening ceremony hosted by producer Yu Haiyang.

Sheng Yixia also appeared in the group photo at the opening ceremony for the first time, standing relatively close to the middle, just behind the leading male actor He Yunqiu and the leading female actor Xiong Yike, with the second female actor standing on either side of them.

After the ceremony.

Yu Haiyang distributed red envelopes to everyone when the phone was launched.

The online drama crew, with a fund of 20 million, is indeed wealthy. Sheng Yixia actually received a 500-yuan bonus packet for the start of filming, and also received a scratch card. However, after scratching the card, it seemed that he didn't even win five yuan.

Everyone was happily socializing, chatting, and adding each other's social media accounts, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

"Hello, Brother He." Sheng Yixia also smiled and took the initiative to greet the male protagonist He Yunqiu.

"Yixia, hello to you too." He Yunqiu held Sheng Yixia's hand tightly and said with a smile, "I heard about your wonderful performance in the audition. Let's get in touch more often and have a drink together when we have time."

He Yunqiu is about 27 or 28 years old this year. He is an actor who graduated from Beijing Film Academy. He has also played the third male lead in some successful theater movies. He has good acting skills and outstanding looks, and he has quite a few fans.

In terms of his qualifications in all aspects, they are far superior to Sheng Yixia's.

Sheng Yixia heard that He Yunqiu's salary for starring in this film was two million, and if the sales exceeded 20 million, he would also receive a 1% dividend.

"Of course, of course." Sheng Yixia also lowered her attitude, "I also want to learn acting from a professional actor like He Ge. Please don't find me annoying when the time comes."

"How could that be? Haha, you are always welcome to come and talk to me about acting." He Yunqiu smiled very easily.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two men went their separate ways to continue socializing.

"Hello, Teacher Xiong." Sheng Yixia caught the leading actress Xiong Yike again and went up to greet her politely.

In the entertainment industry, sometimes it's not enough to just have money. If Sheng Yixia wants to develop his superpowers with the help of the entertainment industry, he still has to constantly expand his network of contacts.

In this way, when you encounter the right opportunity, you will be able to directly organize a group to shoot the film you want.

“No, no, no…” Xiong Yike, who had a very delicate appearance and a charming temperament, smiled and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, “I am a few years older than you, you should just call me Sister Yike.”

"Okay, hello, Sister Yike." Sheng Yixia readily followed suit and greeted her again, "I've seen several of your films. I'm a fan of yours."

"Hello, Yixia." Xiong Yike smiled and shook his hand, his eyes shining. "I've also seen your performance in The King of Cooking. They say you're a real culinary performer and an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of the pastry industry. The steamed buns you make are especially delicious. They're said to be miraculous. Is that true?"

At first glance, he looks like a comrade from the Foodie Empire.

"Haha, the rumors are a bit exaggerated, but I can indeed make some Chinese pastries." Sheng Yixia said with a smile, "If there is a chance, I will bring some over for everyone to try and give me some advice."

But I was thinking in my heart, when everyone is tired of working non-stop, I will treat you to some steamed buns and try to bring this film to a new level.

In a sense, Sheng Yixia is the one who most hopes that this film will become a hit.

This pure thought is stronger than that of the investors and producers.

After all, they were just after the money and fame, but he was after super powers!

"Okay, okay." Xiong Yike nodded happily.

Subsequently.

Sheng Yixia also socialized with other crew members, including the second female lead, the third male lead, and some other supporting actors.

After a lively conversation.

This is today's opening scene.

At this time.

The assistant director came running over to inform Sheng Yixia, "Teacher Yixia, please go put on some makeup and prepare for the opening scene."

"Ah this..."

Sheng Yixia pointed at her nose in astonishment: "I'll be the one to act in the opening scene?"

Under normal circumstances.

The opening scene of a production is usually the one featuring the male and female protagonists, and they are generally relatively simple literary scenes. On the one hand, this can bring good luck, and on the other hand, it also allows everyone to get into the state more smoothly.

"Uh..." The assistant director said with some embarrassment, "This, that, it's Director Chen's idea. You should go and put on your makeup."

Director Chen?

Sheng Yixia looked at Director Chen from afar.

As expected, Director Chen also looked at Sheng Yixia with a smile, raised the thermos cup in his hand, and gave an encouraging smile and look.

Damn it.

Sheng Yixia knew that Chen Laodeng had suffered a loss in the audition incident and might suffer setbacks afterwards, but he didn't expect the setbacks to come so soon.

But on the set, the director is the authority.

Especially for a director like Director Chen who has achieved great success, he is the one who has the final say. When it comes to how to direct a play and grasp the content, even the producer Yu Haiyang cannot compete with him.

Sheng Yixia had no choice but to go ahead and put on makeup and study the first scene he was going to shoot again.

It was an action scene in which Huang Laocai led his servants and guards to hunt down Sheng Yixia after being cheated.

Sheng Yixia used his excellent skills to escape the pursuit flexibly.

It can be said that Chen Laodeng clearly had bad intentions by shooting such a difficult chase and fighting scene at the beginning.

When Sheng Yixia finished her makeup and returned to the set, the scene for the first scene was already prepared and all the camera crews were in place.

Because this is a film and television base in the Republic of China, it has many buildings with a Republican style, so many times we can shoot directly on location without using a green screen. However, in fact, this actually increases the difficulty of the scene.

This kind of chase scene must fit the environment of the scene and be adapted to the local conditions.

She was drinking tea leisurely when she saw Sheng Yixia coming back after putting on makeup. She didn't even raise her eyelids: "Teacher Yixia is ready, let's get started."

Ah this!

Sheng Yixia was completely confused. Is this Old Deng crazy?

You didn't even tell him about the play, the shots and the precautions, right? The script he just saw was just the original script.

Could it be that the storyboard script is with the assistant director?
Is he responsible for narrating the play?

Sheng Yixia looked at the assistant director. The assistant director was also confused. He had not received any instructions to rehearse the play.

"Cough cough."

Sheng Yixia gritted her teeth and said, "Director Chen, how should I act in this scene?"

"Ah……"

Director Chen chuckled from the depths of his throat, raised his teacup and took a sip of tea, then said slowly, "With Teacher Yixia's level, do you still need my guidance? During your audition, you wrote and directed the scene yourself, and your performance was very exciting."

"In this scene, you just need to act on your own."

Damn it, this old Deng...he is so open about making things difficult for him, without any hesitation.

The scene was also silent.

No one dared to overturn Director Chen's decision.

Even Yu Haiyang just frowned slightly and said nothing more.

He was also an old hand, and he knew that although Lao Chen's move was a bit direct and naked, it was also a necessary means to defend against his subordinates.

If he can't curb Sheng Yixia's arrogance, it will be difficult for him to carry out his next work.

As long as Sheng Yixia suffered a loss and sincerely bowed his head to Lao Chen and surrendered, Lao Chen, who did not have a strong personality, would definitely not embarrass him again.

"Director Chen, this isn't a good idea, right?" Sheng Yixia was also angry, but a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.

"What's wrong with that?" Director Chen said with a smile, "When it comes to young people, especially talented young people, I always advocate giving them more opportunities so that they can shine more."

"Teacher Yixia, please start quickly and don't waste everyone's time."

"By the way, the camera crew, lighting crew, and supporting actors can all be under your command. Lao Zhao, please help Teacher Yixia and don't let him down."

Director Chen acted like he was willing to help, but in fact he had already made up his mind that when Sheng Yixia's performance was poor and he had no choice but to ask him for help, he would slowly take out the excellent storyboard script he had designed and throw it in your face.

Tell him, young man, you are still too young.

In the future, learn humbly from your director Chen.

Of course, he only dared to do this because Zhang Qing was not around. Otherwise, he really wouldn't dare to confront Zhang Qing face to face.

"Okay." Sheng Yixia looked like he was in a dilemma and had to go on regardless, but unknowingly, he had already expanded his spiritual power, and the surrounding terrain and environment were reflected in his brain one by one.

With the experience he had gained from using the Qinggong Card during this period, he quickly planned out a suitable route in his mind.

Afterwards, he actively communicated with the action group actors and Mr. Tian who played Huang Laocai, and found paper and pen to draw, designed actions for them, and used the screenwriter's lines.

Then, he went to communicate with the assistant director Lao Zhao again and asked him to arrange the position and function of the camera crew according to his schematic diagram. As for the lighting, he was not very familiar with it, so he let the assistant director communicate with it himself.

After seeing Sheng Yixia's design, the assistant director was completely stunned.

This, this thing, isn’t it the legendary one-shot shot?

Where did this kid Sheng Yixia learn this from?

However, if he really asked this question, Sheng Yixia would definitely answer him, didn't he learn it from the domineering director of the super detective Yan Xiayi? Then Lao Deng is now addicted to shooting in one take, and he shoots in one take at every turn.

Even when shooting a short promotional video for him, we had to shoot it in one shot.

As a result, Sheng Yixia now subconsciously feels that action shots like this should be shot in one shot. If not, it will feel like something is not right and everything is not smooth and natural.

At this time, Director Chen obviously did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

He continued to half-close his eyes, slowly drinking the tea from the thermos, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrests of the chair, as if he was immersed in some dramatic melody.

"Director Zhao, please direct the lighting and camera crew."

Until then.

Assistant Director Lao Zhao finally came back to his senses from his trance. With a dazed look on his face, he looked at Sheng Yixia solemnly and said, "That's fine with me. I won't let you down for sure. But aren't your moves too difficult?"

"I think it's okay. If it doesn't work the first time, just try again." Sheng Yixia smiled modestly.

"Okay, then let's do as you wish." Assistant Director Lao Zhao was very cooperative.

soon.

The preparations are complete.

The actors, camera crew, and tracks were all in place.

The assistant director also perked up and shouted, "Action!"

Veteran actor Huang Youcai immediately got into the mood, panting and pointing at Sheng Yixia, angrily scolding: "It was this kid who deceived me. Not to mention changing his outfit, I would recognize him even if he turned into ash! Catch him, I want to break all five of his legs!"

Give an order.

A group of farm guards rushed towards Sheng Yixia.

These are all action extras, all of whom have some skills, and each of them is as ferocious as a wolf or a tiger.

"Haha, Huang Laocai, you really suffered a loss but still don't learn your lesson. Don't blame me for emptying your house later." Sheng Yixia was not panicked when he saw this. After a joking remark, he turned around and ran away. "I'm busy today and don't have time to play with you. Goodbye."

As he spoke, a street chase ensued.

Sheng Yixia, with the blessing of the Qinggong card, showed strong parkour skills. He was seen dodging, dodging, and sometimes doing a somersault to pass over obstacles. He also used things on the street and threw them back from time to time to hinder his pursuers.

When such a scene appeared in front of everyone.

Many people woke up instantly.

The male lead He Yunqiu's eyes widened, and he thought to himself, "Oh shit, isn't Sheng Yixia's skills too good?"
It was a pity that he had looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he was just a traffic star who relied on his looks to make a living.

The leading actress Xiong Yike's eyes were wide open, and her mouth was wide open in surprise. This, this, this... A cook who can't do parkour can't be a good actor, right?

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Director Chen, who was immersed in the melody of the drama, was choked by a mouthful of old tea. He coughed continuously and looked at the scene in disbelief.

"Shh!"

Sheng Yixia ran five steps horizontally on the wall in a cool posture, then whooshed out and spun in the air.

"Shhhhhh!"

Dozens of playing cards flew out and hit the pursuers.

"Ahhh!"

The pursuers were hit by the playing cards one after another and fell to the ground screaming.

That scene is as cool as it can be, and it probably doesn’t require much post-processing!
Damn it!

Director Chen's hands shook and the thermos cup almost fell to the ground. There was only one thought in his mind.

It's over.

Old Chen has fallen into trouble again.

Wait, why did I say the word again?

……

(Two in one, it will be updated after midnight tonight, so please make the first order to show your support. If there is a plan for a burst of updates, I will announce it when I give my remarks today.)
