Huayu Entertainment Starts with Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu

"What's going on? What's happening? What's going on with you guys?"

"First day working here?"

"Don't you know how dangerous that was? Huh?!"

"If Jiang Yang hadn't reacted quickly and alertly, what would have happened if he had fallen from there? Can you bear the consequences?"

"Even expelling you all wouldn't be enough!"

Master Ye was furious and gave the stuntman who messed up a thorough dressing-down.

The wire work is actually quite primitive; it's pulled by people.

With several strong men working together, pulling a person wasn't too difficult, and nothing ever went wrong.

The martial arts performer also felt very wronged after that incident.

"We've been doing this for over ten years. Even if we pulled with our eyes closed, there was no way we'd fall. It's just that the other one suddenly pulled really hard, and I lost my balance..."

"What do you mean? Are you saying that he dragged you all away by himself?"

This explanation is clearly unconvincing.

Master Ye became even angrier, feeling that they were shirking their responsibility, and he pointed his finger at them and cursed for half an hour.

"Can you do it? If not, get out!"

The stuntmen knew they were in the wrong and dared not argue back, so they obediently endured it.

In the end, it was Jiang Yang who came out and offered some advice.

"Never mind, Master Ye, I believe these brothers didn't mean to."

"This is our first time working together, and we don't know each other very well. Let's treat this as an opportunity to get to know each other better, and we'll naturally understand each other next time."

"Anyway, nothing serious happened, and we've already vented our anger, so I think we should just leave it at that."

Master Ye still seemed unsatisfied.

"It will be too late if something really happens!"

This whole thing was half real and half fake. The anger was real, and the scolding was real, but there was another reason: it was all staged specifically for Jiang Yang, the "victim."

I've already cursed you out, and I've helped you vent your anger, so please don't hold it against me anymore.

It's not easy for martial arts performers to make a living.

Master Ye still took care of his men. Seeing that Jiang Yang offered not to pursue the matter, he took the opportunity to wave them away.

"See that? How magnanimous Jiang Yang is!"

"The more capable a person is, the more magnanimous they are. What's that saying again? A prime minister's belly can hold a boat!"

"Get lost, get lost, just looking at you annoys me."

Jiang Yang has a good temper, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about anything; he still values ​​safety very much.

He almost became the next He Rundong by accident.

But after the accident, he felt as if he also bore a tiny bit of responsibility...

It's really hard to say who the "victim" is.

Jiang Yang thought to himself that he should be more careful in the future. The effect of [Feather's Divine Might] was really too powerful. He was indeed worthy of being called the Overlord of Western Chu.

He has tried his best to control himself and maintain a human appearance.

Even so, Master Ye, a veteran of the martial arts world who had spent half his life in the business, was still amazed.

In short, this matter is now closed.

Jiang Yang went with Master Ye to meet Gao Xixi and Chen Daoming, the two who appeared when the filming was halfway through.

Since the filming of the two groups has been almost completed, the next step is for both sides to reunite and film the intense scenes of "The Battle of Chu and Han".

Chen Daoming posed the first question.

"Was that a real shot?"

"Yes, I accidentally caused a little trouble, I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Teacher Chen."

Please excuse my poor performance.

Chen Daoming couldn't laugh at all.

There was a problem just now, but what happened? I only saw Spider-Man climb the city wall with his bare hands.

And then you said the wires loosened...

Chen Daoming grimaced, "Are young actors these days so reckless when filming?"

That's a little scary, kid!

He was impressed by Jiang Yang. When Gao Xixi decided to let the latter save the day, Chen Daoming did not object, mainly because he felt that the age and image were suitable.

I never expected that they would have this amazing skill.

My reaction just now was absolutely genuine, without the slightest element of acting.

Upon further reflection, Chen Daoming felt a surge of emotion.

That's interesting. Xiang Yu is a real "tough guy". I'm starting to look forward to having scenes with him.

Gao Xixi was also very satisfied.

He listened to Li Muge and Master Ye report on Jiang Yang's performance during this period, and both of them praised him highly.

When I chose Jiang Yang, it was only because I had no other choice, so I reluctantly used this young kid and didn't have high expectations for him.

Anyway, in "The Legend of Chu and Han", Xiang Yu is just a minor character, so it's okay if he falls short a bit.

Not only did it not collapse, but there was also a pleasant surprise!

Gao Xixi was particularly satisfied with the fact that Master Ye said Jiang Yang was very efficient at filming war scenes, which greatly reduced the filming time.

What is time?

time is money!

The war scenes are so large-scale that every second is a testament to the budget being burned.

The scene with the most extras in "The Legend of Chu and Han" involved two thousand people. You do the math, if you shoot one less day, you can save hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Gao Xixi couldn't stop laughing.

Haha, as expected of the person I chose!

He was already glad he had made the right choice, but Jiang Yang wasn't done yet.

"Director, I have an idea."

"I think the scene we just filmed could have been even better. There's a chance we could try shooting it in one continuous take."

"That way, the effect will definitely be even more stunning."

Gao Xixi was also surprised.

"Can you do it in one take?"

"I can give it a try."

There was no hint of difficulty in Jiang Yang's tone.

The simplest way to judge the quality of action scenes is by looking at the editing.

The fact that it was filmed in one continuous shot shows that everyone, from the actors themselves to the entire filming team, was very confident about this scene.

Gao Xixi also wanted to weigh him to see how much he weighed.

"Alright, you can come on then."

A single take requires a high level of scene direction skills, which naturally falls to Master Ip.

But ultimately, the actors are the first to be tested.

Before filming began, we conducted numerous checks inside and out to ensure that no accidents like the one we just witnessed would occur; we had to be absolutely certain that everything would be perfect.

Normally, five or six people are enough to pull the wire.

Having learned from the previous lesson, Jiang Yang's treatment was doubled, and ten people came to recruit him, treating it as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

Gao Xixi and Chen Daoming made an even more surprising discovery.

When stuntmen are filming with non-professional action actors, the boss usually gives the following instructions:

Be careful, take care to protect the actors.

However, Master Ip said this:

"Be careful, protect yourself, and don't let him hurt you."

Is that correct?

Gao Xixi did not participate in the previous filming.

"Is Jiang Yang a good fighter? How good is he?"

"We don't know how good they are, but if all of us go at them together, they'd be easy prey."

The martial arts brothers spoke the truth.

As soon as filming began, they knew what it meant. Jiang Yang, clad in silver armor, charged left and right through the army, causing chaos and defeat wherever he went. No one could withstand his attack.

It was truly a scene of chaos and devastation.

But the most exciting part was yet to come. He replicated the thrilling maneuver from before, using the iron spear deeply embedded in the city wall to quickly scale it with his bare hands.

The Qin soldiers were horrified, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Okay, click!"

The entire recording was very smooth; you can confirm it's absolutely fantastic without even watching the playback.

Gao Xixi clapped enthusiastically.

It saved money and the work was good, so the old man was overjoyed. In his happiness, he uttered auspicious words.

"Very good, very good, you truly are my Bai Qi, Han Xin, and Zhou Yafu!"

Who's calling me?

Duan Yihong looked up abruptly upon hearing the name Han Xin, but after a moment's thought, she realized it was a misunderstanding. So she lowered her head again and continued to ponder the character.

Jiang Yang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Not at all, as the saying goes, a good horse is easy to find but a good judge of horses is rare. I have to thank the director for recognizing my talent. You are like a brother and a father to me."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here."

"You are my true ancestors, Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor Gaozu of Tang, and Emperor Taizu of Song!"

That's right, she knows how to be grateful.

Gao Xixi was overjoyed and let out a hearty laugh.
