Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 41 Fighting Scene Training
After arriving at the crew, I started the training, which lasted for about a month. The filming would not start until mid-March. According to the crew's plan, the filming would last until the end of July, so this period was destined to be very busy.

In particular, the fighting scenes in "Lotus Tower" are more difficult and more complicated than those in "Longing".

The fighting scenes of Xiangliu are very simple. After all, he is the god of war. One move can kill a large number of people.

This is a martial arts drama. Li Lianhua/Li Xiangyi is the best martial artist in the world, but he is still an ordinary person. The fighting scenes will be more complicated, and the fighting must have certain moves and postures.

Everyone started training in sportswear. In addition to physical training, they also practiced fighting techniques.

Of course, what we practiced here is just a rough outline.

The main thing is to practice physical fitness, otherwise the fighting scenes will be too difficult and it will be easy to get into trouble.

The sticks used in the training camp are solid wooden sticks, which are somewhat heavy. As long as you can swing the sticks well, you will be able to hold the props in your hands with ease.

The weapon design of "Lotus Tower" is very thoughtful. Li Xiangyi has two swords, one hard and one soft, [Shao Shi] and [Kiss the Neck]. The long sword has its own fighting method, and the soft sword has its own fighting method. Fang Duobing's sword is called [Er Ya], and its elegant nature is particularly suitable for the character.

Like Chang Xiangsi, the weapons of the detective trio are specially made according to the character's personality, and are not used in batches in Hengdian.

For example, when the male protagonist of "Seven Times Auspicious" suddenly took out a black eyebrow from "Qin's Moon" in the later stage, Jing Tianming would be a little silent when he saw it.

"Brother Hua, are you tired?" Zeng Shunxi said breathlessly after wiping the sweat off his face.

Dancing with the wooden stick, Xu Yien replied smoothly, "Why are you tired? Young people shouldn't say you're tired!"

Xiao Shunyao also laughed: "That's right! Not tired at all!"

".You guys have good stamina!"

The next period of time will be a step-by-step training.

Every day the crew goes for a long-distance run together, and then practices the fighting scenes.

Because having something to do is not boring.

The training camp is also for better filming of the works. The reason why actors are actors is that they can shoot good-looking fighting scenes without practicing martial arts. Not only does the martial arts instructor deserve a reward, but the actors must also work hard for it.

Some people would like to give all the credit to the martial arts instructors.

But could it be that the martial arts director filmed the scene and then used AI to replace the actor’s face?
After all, isn't it still the actors who perform? Actors are certainly qualified to proudly say that they are good at filming fighting scenes.

As an actor, Xu Yien will never let down any character written by the screenwriter.

In addition to practicing martial arts, Xu Yien also goes to the gym.

This time the main purpose is to lose weight. Li Lianhua has been poisoned for ten years and won't live long. Being thinner will give her that extraordinary temperament.

Just reduce the weight to about 136-137 pounds. In fact, many male celebrities of the same height are in this weight range, some are only over 120 pounds.

This is their normal state, but Xu Yien has always maintained his weight at 144 kg so that he looks good on camera and has muscles.

Before his debut, Xu Yien weighed 160 pounds. He looked handsome in both selfies and photos taken by others, after all, he was 184cm tall. However, to look good on camera as an actor, he had to be thinner.

"Brother Hua, let's go eat."

"Let's go! Shunyao will go too."

"Okay~" Xiao Shunyao said with a smile.

He was the oldest, born in 85, and now 88 years old. He surfed the 30G network and had no idea about the popular Internet memes, but he was very sincere and always cared about everyone during the training camp. During the meal, seeing Xu Yien eating so little, Xiao Shunyao was a little confused: "Why are you eating so little? Last time I saw you eating a lot?"

Zeng Shunxi immediately figured out the reason: "Teacher Xu probably wants to better fit the role. You see, Li Lianhua is seriously ill and her internal energy has been greatly depleted. It's impossible for her to practice martial arts regularly, so she lost weight for the role."

"Bingo! You guessed it right." Xu Yien laughed. "I still have to change a little for the role. Anyway, I just need to lose 6 or 7 pounds. Who wants to eat this chicken leg? The cafeteria auntie was so enthusiastic just now. I said I didn't want it, but she still gave it to me."

"I'll eat it!" Xiao Shunyao took it and started to chew it.

Zeng Shunxi was stunned and said, "Give it to me next time."

"It's all fine." Xu Yien only ate half of his usual meal. It's okay to reduce the amount. He can't diet too much, otherwise his pale face will look very strange in the camera.

Even if you are good-looking, you will look haggard, and instead of feeling indifferent, you will feel old.

Xiao Shunyao really liked the food here. He ate it with great relish, smacking his lips and saying, "It tastes good."

"Indeed, it's delicious, but I still have to eat the 10-yuan lunch box from Northeast China, which is dark, thin, tender and sticky." Xu Yien suddenly said with a smile.

Zeng Shunxi was curious: "What are the ingredients in the Northeast lunch box?"

"When I went to Northeast China before, I basically had three fresh vegetables, sweet and sour pork, and braised pork slices. Anyway, I could eat as much as I wanted for ten yuan. The boxed lunches here are really not as delicious as those over there." Xu Yien talked freely.

Zeng Shunxi was curious: "You can eat meat for ten yuan? A single portion of sweet and sour pork in a small restaurant would cost forty or fifty, right?"

Xu Yien said: "Most of them are chicken. For ten yuan, a piece of pork in a pot is as big as that. Isn't that a loss for them?"

"I'll have to try it if I have the chance." Xiao Shunyao said with a smile as he took a bite of rice.

For less famous artists like Xu Yien and Xiao Shunyao, it is enough for the lunch boxes to taste good; they cannot get the sky-high meal allowance.

Even wealthy young men like Zeng Shunxi and Bai Yu wouldn't act like big shots. I don't know what's going on in some people's minds.

It is said that Xiao Shunyao and Kenjiro went to the audition together. Because they squatted together to eat lunch and had a tacit understanding like brothers, they were chosen by Xiu Bo to play the brothers Sima Shi and Sima Zhao.

Sometimes it also depends on opportunities. With good opportunities, even those who eat boxed lunches can be selected. Xiu Bo also personally taught them how to act well. However, compared to Kenjiro's talent, Sima Zhao left a deep impression on the audience, while Xiao Shunyao's talent was not that outstanding.

Everyone worked very hard during the training camp these few days.

Some are lazy too.

But this one.
You can use it even if you don’t act after you learn it.

It's just like the crew of Investiture of the Gods, except that the teaching time and period are longer there, and many actors there quit because they think they can't play the male lead. But this thing also depends on appearance. If you don't look good, don't even think about being the protagonist.

Although Fengshen was a hit, except for the few actors with more roles, the other actors were just there to show their faces. Most of the traffic just flowed away. Without the inventory, it would not last long. We have to wait and see the subsequent development to know whether they can get good roles, but compared to before, it was a sure success.

Sometimes it just passes in a gust of wind.

What's more, it is difficult for a movie to retain fans for a long time.

They are not the main user group. What movie stars want is status. As long as their performance is good, they will have business and activities, and they will make a lot of money.

But there must be follow-up. If the first movie is a hit but the second and third movies all flop, then there will be no way out. You will become the second generation of Jing Boran. Although you have some presence, you don’t have any endorsement business. With few business endorsements, the money you earn is destined to be much less than that of traffic stars.

It mainly depends on the actors' own choices.
