Huayu timely rain, they forced me to be the top star

Chapter 111: Biting a double? Such a niche word

"Help?" Zhang Yang stopped typing, leaned back in his chair and rubbed his brows: "Sister Xixi, can I still help you?"

First of all, borrowing money is out of the question. Secondly, pretending to be a boyfriend is out of the question. You can't ask him to act and then he refuses.

There was no way he would play a role in the movie The Palace of the Golden Phoenix.

"Why not?!" Liu Yifei's voice was a little soft: "You are so good at martial arts, and the actors here can't do some difficult moves. I would like to ask you to be a stunt double."

Wuti?

This is quite logical.

When the actors from the production of The Empress of China were interviewed, they all talked about how good his fighting scenes were and that he had real kung fu skills.

He also learned from Liu Shishi that the actors in the crew of "The Four" were also saying everywhere that he had real kung fu skills and was very good at designing fighting scenes, and that his "brother and brother" highly praised him.

The entertainment industry is not that big, and news spread quickly. Now many celebrities know about him.

There were even several film crews that sent him invitations, including Da Gecheng's "The Chinese Zodiac", but he did not accept.

It's not that he has too few scenes, or the role he was given is not well positioned, and he is in urgent need of such resources.

"Sister Xixi, the TV series that my company is producing and starring me and also writing the screenplay for is going to start filming in three days. I don't have time." Zhang Yang didn't mind helping out a little, just as a way to expand his network, but this time he really couldn't do it.

"Three days is enough." Liu Yifei said immediately: "Come to Zhuozhou Film and Television City now, and you can start shooting tomorrow. If nothing goes wrong, you can finish shooting the day after tomorrow."

"If we can't finish filming, forget it. The director said that this scene doesn't have to be filmed."

"It's not necessary to shoot it. Why are you so enthusiastic as a female lead?" Zhang Yang became interested.

"This scene has something to do with me." Liu Yifei told the truth: "The content is about the army arranged by Emperor Xian of Han to assassinate Cao Cao. I teamed up with the people who sneaked into the bedroom, but we were blocked by Cao Cao's secret guards who ambushed us."

"The secret guard must jump down from the beam. His movements must be fast, accurate, and beautiful enough."

"The crew's martial artists can't do it, so they plan to delete this scene. Then my few fighting scenes will be gone."

"And I didn't make any official moves from the beginning to the end. I felt like my character wasn't deep enough."

The implication is that she was actually doing it for herself.

Zhang Yang: “.”

He actually wanted to tell Liu Yifei that it was just a play called "The Palace of the Golden Phoenix", and it really wasn't necessary.

The benefits Liu Yifei gained from playing the female lead may not be as good as what Liu Shishi got from playing the second female lead in "Cold War 1" and "Cold War 2".

But after thinking about it, he decided to forget it and asked, "What's in it for me?"

Even if you are Liu Yifei, there is absolutely no reason for you to let me work in vain.

"No, with our relationship, you're asking me for benefits? Huh?" Liu Yifei's voice was threatening.

"Oh, so we have such a good relationship." Zhang Yang smiled: "Then if I ask you to make a cameo appearance in a movie, you will definitely not refuse."

"Of course there is no problem with guest starring, the supporting roles must have good character designs, and the leading roles can be negotiated at the market price." Liu Yifei answered straightforwardly.

This is actually a very conscientious statement. Although Liu Yifei has been unsuccessful in recent years, her pay is still not low and she is difficult to hire.

"Okay." Zhang Yang smiled. "Just as you said, Sister Xixi. I'll be a stunt double for a day, and you can make a cameo appearance for me for free, or play the lead or supporting role at a friendly price. Of course, the script has to satisfy you."

Liu Yifei: “.”

Is that what I mean?

No matter what Liu Yifei thinks, Zhang Yang means this anyway. He even asked Liu Yifei to post a Weibo to "leave an IOU", while he himself posted: "Fair trade."

This is so seemingly trivial that a normal person cannot make any connection with it.

But if Zhang Yang points this out later, it will be difficult for someone to deny it.

Of course, the core is just one word: play.

After packing his things, Zhang Yang called a driver to take him to the airport, and then flew to Daxing Airport. Liu Yifei's driver was waiting for him in the parking lot.

It was around eight o'clock in the evening when we arrived at Zhuozhou Film and Television City.

Zhang Yang entered the set under the guidance of a special person, where filming was in progress.

Located in a pavilion, there was a man standing there with his arms around a woman.

From Zhang Yang's angle, you can just see the woman's clothes on the left side being taken off, revealing her shoulders. The male actor bit it with a sad face, and his mouth was full of saliva.

Are everyday actors so crazy?
"Why don't you ask me to act in this scene?" Zhang Yang thought to himself.

If it was just this scene, wouldn't he mind acting in "The Palace of the Bronze Bird" as a stand-in?
"What are you doing here?" A brisk voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Yang's ears.

"Sister Xixi!?" Zhang Yang turned around and exclaimed softly.

Liu Yifei was lightly made up and looked like a beauty under the light. She was looking at him straight.

By the way, shouldn't she be in the pavilion now?
"Am I scary now?" Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose.

"No." Zhang Yang shook his head and pointed in the direction of the pavilion: "Shouldn't you be there?"

"That's a stand-in." Liu Yifei's beautiful eyes rolled up slightly: "As a qualified actor, I don't mind, but do you think my mother will allow it?"

Indeed, Liu Xiaoli didn't even allow Liu Yifei to date in real life, let alone be taken advantage of in a acting role.

"Why, do you want to see me here?" Liu Yifei deliberately pulled her collar.

But her expression was not charming, but rather an expression that said, "You are also a mediocre person."

This reminded Zhang Yang of the interview clip of Liu Yifei that he had seen in a short video in his previous life.

"Nowadays, the audience is really satisfied. They are excited just by showing their shoulders."

Then a group of Fei fans shouted in the comment section: "I'm not excited about the shoulder exposure, it's because you, Liu Yifei, exposed your shoulders."

Zhang Yang didn't have that feeling, he was just simply curious.

"I wouldn't be interested even if you stood in front of me in a bikini." Zhang Yang looked disgusted.

"No way, no way." Liu Yifei's face showed sympathy: "You can't do it."

Zhang Yang: “.”

"Try it?" Zhang Yang's eyes became dangerous.

"You really have intentions towards me." Liu Yifei made a "tsk" sound.

Zhang Yang: “.” “I’m leaving. I can’t help you anymore.”

"Okay, okay, I'll let you lean on my shoulder for a bit, okay?"

"You..." Zhang Yang's hands trembled, and finally reluctantly said, "Okay."

Liu Yifei: “.”

You win, little brother.

"Where is Aunt Liu?" Zhang Yang followed Liu Yifei into the exclusive dressing room.

"Director, can you please delete the scene I shot in the water?" Liu Yifei said helplessly, "Wearing a swimsuit, I only showed my shoulders and a little bit of my back. It's not as cool as what some people wear during the summer vacation."

"I can understand that, actually." Zhang Yang resolutely chose to stand with Liu Xiaoli: "You don't have to have a role like this to prove your growth and maturity. You have a good image as a jade woman, why do you want to break it?"

"If you want to prove your acting skills, you shouldn't take such crooked paths, but choose good themes, such as realistic themes."

Liu Yifei:?

I tell you, I obviously want you to stand by my side.

"Ayang is right." Liu Xiaoli walked into the dressing room: "Xixi, you are doing evil things now."

Liu Yifei: ? ?
So you are the biological children, right?

The more you say this, the more I feel.
"Aunt Liu, I think you should be considerate of Sister Yifei." Zhang Yang suddenly turned around and began to persuade Liu Xiaoli: "When she said goodbye to the TV drama circle and entered the film industry with full confidence, she could compete with the two ice and four actresses for popularity."

"I can't bring myself to act in TV dramas now, so I can only stick to movies."

"She has no acting skills, so she is so persistent."

Liu Yifei:!

Don't think I don't know you're trying to provoke me.

"Who are you saying has no acting skills?" Liu Yifei clenched her fists.

"Whoever is doing the evil thing is it, it's definitely not you." Zhang Yang said again.

"Well, that certainly wouldn't be my Sissi." Liu Xiaoli nodded in agreement.

Liu Yifei: “.”

Who invited Zhang Yang?
"Auntie Liu, I want to eat sweet and sour pork." Zhang Yang expressed his closeness to Liu Xiaoli.

"Auntie will make it for you tomorrow." Liu Xiaoli smiled gently.

Liu Yifei: ╰_╯

You guys go together.

"Sister Xixi, the script."

After teasing Liu Yifei, Zhang Yang got into work mode.

The former was still trying to show off, but Liu Xiaoli had already picked up a document from the side and put it in Zhang Yang's hand: "Do you want to go see the filming location?"

She was also happy to see the addition of fighting scenes, as her daughter had gone through so much hardship in training and it couldn't be in vain.

"Okay, Aunt Liu, please lead the way." Zhang Yang nodded.

Liu Xiaoli took Zhang Yang away.

Liu Yifei: “!”

She was really going to be angry, really angry!
"By the way, a gift." Zhang Yang suddenly stopped, took out a plum from his backpack and handed it to Liu Yifei: "This is the plum I asked my grandmother to make. The taste has not changed."

Hangzhou preserved plums are a famous specialty of Hangzhou and one of the representative Hangzhou-style candied fruits.

Zhang Yang's grandmother is very good at making this kind of candied fruit. When filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", Liu Yifei, as a plum lover, of course got a lot of it.

After giving the things, Zhang Yang followed Liu Xiaoli away.

Liu Yifei looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar plums in her hand, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Don't think I will forgive you just like this."

After opening the box and eating one, her eyes were filled with happiness: "Grandma's cooking skills are still so good. I'll reluctantly forgive Ayang half of it."

If Zhang Yang were still here, he would definitely say, "That's my grandma, not yours."

"Hmm" Liu Yifei began to think about Zhang Yang's words again.

Have you fallen into the evil path?
“Realistic subject matter.”

In less than half an hour, Zhang Yang followed Liu's mother back from the venue to the dressing room.

The simple scene in the pavilion was finally finished, and now we are filming Liu Yifei's scene.

She was hugged by a tall female stand-in and had to make an expression of pain from being bitten.

For the movie, it would be better to shoot here for real, so that the facial emotions and body language changes of the two characters can be reflected in one shot.

However, due to the use of stand-ins, after the main drama is broadcast, the male character's face will be close-up first, followed by the female character's face.

The expressiveness elsewhere is zero, and facial details are exaggerated.

"Card."

The director shouted, "Yifei, come down and adjust yourself first. You're not in the right mood right now."

Liu Yifei: “.”

It must be because the plums are too sweet and sour that I can’t act out the pain.

"Yifei, I suggest you let your assistant bite you first and experience it." The director gave Liu Yifei some advice after she came down.

Liu Yifei thinks this method works.

She definitely couldn't do it herself, and she wouldn't feel anything if she bit her wrist.

Let the assistant bite her shoulder so that she can experience the body, emotions and expressions.

"Okay director, I'll go and experience it."

Liu Yifei walked towards her rest area and happened to meet Zhang Yang and Liu Xiaoli who had just returned.

Looking at Zhang Yang, a sly smile flashed across her eyes, and she said, "Ayang, do you want to be a substitute?"

Zhang Yang:?
