Chapter 32 Evil Nature(1/2)
"What are you looking at, so serious?"
Chen? got in the car, saw Xu Rong frowning and staring at the phone screen, and subconsciously asked.
She didn't make an announcement today, so she didn't need to come with her, but because the crew specially hired a top-notch fireworks team, she was curious and came with her to have a look. Anyway, she had nothing to do in the hotel.
She leaned her head over, glanced at it, and saw what looked like an outline of a script. She sat across from the corridor and said with a smile, "You're a busy man. You haven't finished shooting one scene yet, and are you ready to take on another one?"
"It just happened." Xu Rong glanced at her and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. A director asked me to shoot a spy movie before, but due to the tightening of policies, the script needed to be overhauled, so it was postponed and I was going to shoot another movie first.
"
"What drama?" Although Xu Rong didn't hide, she stopped staring and asked, "Teacher Xu, do you want to take me with you? Since I terminated my contract with the company, I haven't been able to get any drama."
Xu Rong curled his lips and ignored her. Chen? was obviously joking. Now that she is out to work alone, he has no doubt that the resources are not as good as before. After all, she used to be one-third of Chengtian's boss, but when it comes to taking over
Without even playing a role, it was obvious that he was making fun of him.
But Chen? is not his ideal partner. With her fame and status, the role must be the first or second female. This is not in line with his expectations. After starting the film for half a month, his experience value has only increased by six points.
A comprehensive evaluation of A- is still far away.
Of course, if like Edison Chen a few years ago, someone had to give him 20 million, even if he was not self-conscious, he would think carefully about it.
The reason for the lack of money is that as an actor, it is inevitable that there will be times when he makes mistakes. For example, when he was cast in "Bright Sword", he did not expect that it would become so popular.
With such a high investment and remuneration, there is still the possibility of becoming a hit.
Just as he expected, a group of actors waited in the car for a long time. At eleven o'clock at noon, with the sun high in the sky and still at the police station, Producer Pan heard back that the deal was settled.
The cost is 25,000 per day.
This is because of the reputation of celebrities such as Gao Xixi, Chen Xi, and Xu Rong, and the relevant local departments were worried about the negative impact and forcibly lowered the price.
The local villagers seemed to be very familiar with this. They collected the money, wrote a receipt, and drove the tractor back to the village without missing a minute.
It's nothing like the first time.
The villagers didn't have the slightest curiosity about the filming, and they probably knew in their hearts that if they offended the crew, they would just be ignored if they stayed.
The firearms and equipment are similar to other groups. They are all pyrotechnic guns. When you pull the trigger, the fire and the sound of gunfire are actually controlled by the circuit board inside.
The real difference lies in the accuracy of the explosion point. Xu Rong watched the pyrotechnicist put the gunpowder and thunder powder into a small plastic bag, then put it into the dug pit, buried it with wet soil, and marked it.
Prevent actors from accidentally stepping on them during filming.
Not only Xu Rong, Chen Xi, Hu Ke and others also observed the operation of the pyrotechnics team at close range.
It doesn't seem to be much different from other pyrotechnics teams.
The pyrotechnics master was a young man in his mid-twenties. He was watched by several celebrities, and he was probably trying to show off. The whole process was done smoothly and in one go.
He also answered all the questions asked by several people, but his master seemed to only teach him how to do it, but never taught him the deeper reasons. When Chen asked about the reason for the ratio of gunpowder, the young man's face did not turn red and his heart did not beat.
I kept talking for a long time, but no one really understood it.
"Three...two...one"
As the actors took their places, the assistant director picked up the loudspeaker. After the sound fell, fireworks and smoke burst out from various explosion points.
Xu Rong squinted his eyes and looked at the field. He probably understood the reason. The diameter of the explosion points ranged from four to ten meters, but the effect of the explosion was almost exactly the same as the previous estimate. This should be the reason for the high charge.
s reason.
Precision means personnel safety can be guaranteed.
War movies are most prone to accidents, especially explosion scenes. Injuries are common and deaths are common. However, such incidents are often resolved privately. Once exposed and attract attention, there is a possibility of being stopped.
"Card."
"Pass."
Gao Xixi watched the replay. Suddenly, he saw a mistake. He couldn't help but frowned. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said dissatisfiedly: "Who put the bones in the props?"
"No, director, where did the bones come from?"
The answer coming from the intercom made Gao Xixi focus his attention on the surveillance camera again.
In the field, Yu Hewei, who happened to be passing by, subconsciously picked up the bones at his feet, weighed them in his hands, and said with a smile: "Our props are really powerful, these bones are just like real ones."
Xu Rong was listening to the communication between Gao Xixi and the props teacher. He looked at Yu Hewei who was smiling in the field. After looking at each other strangely, he said to Yu Hewei: "What you are holding in your hand, maybe
...It's just real."
"Fuck."
Yu Hewei was stunned for a moment, threw the bones on the ground, took two steps back, and asked the props team leader for confirmation with an extremely ugly face: "Teacher?"
The props teacher coughed twice and did not dare to look at Yu Hewei. Instead, he turned his gaze to the pyrotechnics master and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, did you bury the human grave too deep and blow it up?"
The pyrotechnics master smiled awkwardly. As soon as the explosive point exploded, he realized something was wrong, but he could only hope that the crew would not notice it. He had just boasted so loudly, but he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye. He couldn't afford to lose this.
What about people.
But in fact, he also felt that he was quite innocent. There were so many small mounds in the wilderness. He had no idea that the calf-high mound was a grave. But now he saw the entire group staring at him.
He laughed twice and said: "Maybe... maybe."
Gao Xixi coughed and said to Yu Hewei, "Wash your hands first."
He turned his head, his face became much more serious, and said in a low voice to the production director: "Go and arrange some incense and candle tributes. Where did they come from? Bury them back for me, and then say goodbye properly."
After filming one scene, the crew stopped filming again. Although a bunch of people grew up under the red flag, no one dared not believe in this thing. And on weekdays, everyone claimed to believe in science, but for some extremely effective
"Masters", but they always flock to them.
The production director bought paper money, roasted chicken, fruits and other tributes, as well as a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine. He followed Yu Hewei and the pyrotechnics master to bury the bones again. After some worship, he
Forget it.
But this incident probably left a shadow on Yu Hewei, and in the remaining scenes, his condition was extremely bad.
Not only him, but Xu Rong was also in a mess. Not far away was a grave, which had just been blown up and sealed. It was unavoidable that I felt extremely panicked.
So much so that when he saw a higher mound, he would go around it, wondering if there was someone lying underneath.
Gao Xixi had a smile on her face, as if nothing had happened. Even though she was complaining about bad luck in her heart, she also understood that since the fellow villagers came to make trouble today, everyone had been working for a long time, and they were not very happy.
If he continues to look gloomy, it will only make the mood of the entire group worse.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was just getting dark, and the crew was like a group of stragglers who had suffered a defeat. As soon as Gao Xixi finished speaking, the crew members immediately packed up their things, moved them to the car, and ran to the hotel as if they were running away.
Who knows if this place was a mass grave hundreds of years ago.
During the rehearsal that night, Xu Rong found that Xu Xing was always absent-minded. He could sense her thoughts to some extent, but he didn't think they were right.
After finishing the show and sitting on the sofa to rest, he saw her lowering her head, as if she was thinking about something, and asked: "What's wrong? You've been distracted since morning."
Xu Xing suddenly raised his head and saw his brother looking at him with concern. He quickly shook his head and denied, "No, it's nothing."
"Don't always think that what is commonplace is right." Xu Rong thought for a while and said, "It is indeed difficult to become popular with just acting skills, but it is the key to crossing the threshold. You can't cross it. You can't even audition for some plays.
No chance."
Xu Xing nodded and said, "I know, brother."
Xu Rong didn't know whether her agreement was out of sincerity or simply to deal with herself. He had already said it, and it was up to her how to do it.
"Brother, I have something to do." Xu Xing hesitated for a long time, and finally told the real reason why he was distracted, because starting from yesterday afternoon, he found that his brother had more exchanges with Chen?
As his assistant, most of her attention was focused on him. She also saw the changes in the relationship between her brother and Chen? one by one.
She had heard about the couples on the set, it was not a rare thing, and she didn't find it difficult to accept. On the contrary, if Chen? became her sister-in-law, she would be more able to accept it.
Xu Rong felt that his throat was a little dry after queuing for a while, so he got up and went into the inner room, picked up the throat lozenges on the bedside, put it into his mouth, and asked in a slightly vague voice: "What's the matter?"
"Brother, I told you not to be angry." Xu Xing half-knelt on the sofa, sticking his butt out, and looked at Xu Rong carefully. When he nodded, he said slowly, "It's you and Chen?, you
Don’t you like Sister Xiaofei very much? Why did you talk to her so much today?”
"You don't know, she always looks at you when you are busy."
Xu Rong opened his mouth in astonishment. He didn't expect that Xu Xing's thoughts were not due to these small details. He had also noticed what she said. Chen Xi didn't hide it. He discovered it and just smiled lightly.
But he didn't intend to hide it from her, saying: "Actually, I don't know the reason... She would have that reaction, but don't think about it, the things you think about won't happen."
Xu Xing was a little relieved because there were seven or eight students from Nortel and China National Theater in the group. She was afraid that her brother would lose control temporarily and make a mistake, which would be reported to the school.
Regarding Xu Rong's doubts, she understood the reason very well and explained with a smile: "Maybe it's because I feel that you are more responsible, brother. With her past... experiences, she definitely hopes to find a responsible and responsible man."
Xu Rong was not very interested in these and said casually: "Maybe."
"Don't they say that there are many couples who play husband and wife in many dramas, and they also do it off-screen..."
"It's other people's business." Xu Rong said "Huh" and said with a smile, "According to what you said, if I can't get along with her now, and I have a girlfriend, wouldn't that be a lack of responsibility?
I'm afraid she might be kicked off before going to bed. This is a contradictory topic in the first place. And how do you know if she can break up with her? If she can't, I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of her if I want to.
of."
"Besides, again, don't always think that what is commonplace is right." Xu Rong felt that such dry reasoning was too weak, and added, "For example, if you have a boyfriend, when you finish filming, you
If you don't know someone clearly, you wouldn't be so naive as to think that the other person will never know, right?"
"What kind of values do you uphold, and the people you get along with will probably be similar. If you have an understandable attitude towards cheating during filming, I can guarantee that your future boyfriend will most likely cheat too.
