Chapter 1471 1473【Chengchengjue】


    Huairou Film and Television City, the crew of "The Secret of the City".


    After turning on the camera, the shooting went relatively smoothly.


    With Xiang Nan in charge, everyone was attentive and did not dare to play tricks.


    With everyone working together, the shooting went naturally and smoothly.


    ?However, it is not completely without problems.


    The biggest problem is still lack of experience.


    How to set up the scenery, how to shoot, how to light, how to act, how to perform actions... In Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television dramas, this already has a certain paradigm.


    ?For example, in Huang Rihua''s version of "Dragon", the heroes battle in the Shaolin Temple, and Qiao Feng''s appearance is a very typical hero''s appearance.


    ?The heroes arrived, everyone was watching, and at the critical moment, Gang Leader Qiao flew in the sky, a Qigong wave exploded, and he stood proudly on the spot. Then all the supporting characters looked sideways, and called Gang Leader Qiao with a lot of tricks... What a scene.


    However, the mainland lacks relevant experience, so if you want to shoot well, you have to gradually explore.


    In order to quickly learn experience, Xiang Nan specially invited Wu Zhiyuanbin from Xiangjiang.


    He is one of the Seven Little Blessings. He has served as a martial arts director for films such as "New Dragon Inn", "The Swordsman: The Unbeaten East", "The Deer and the Cauldron", "God of Gamblers 2", "Once Upon a Time in the Lion King", etc. Have certain strength.


    ??Moreover, what he is good at is the martial arts style of using one''s skills to fight, which is relatively realistic. Although "Liancheng Jue" has the magical inner power of Shen Zhao Jing that can bring people back to life, it is still essentially a low-martial world. Rather than the proficiency of internal skills, more emphasis is placed on the competition of moves, so it is more appropriate to ask Won Bin to direct.


    …


    At the beginning of the filming of the TV series, the script originally prepared a substitute for Xiang Nan.


    ?Wan Zhenshan still had some martial arts scenes, and they were afraid that Xiang Nan wouldn''t be able to handle them.


    But unexpectedly, Xiang Nan actually went into battle in person, and fought in a decent manner, which surprised both Yuan Bin and Wu Yue, not to mention others.


    “Master Cheng, have you practiced kung fu before?” Wu Yue asked curiously.


    “When I was young, I learned a little from the uncle next door.” Xiang Nan nodded.


    “That’s not a big deal for you.” Wu Yue waved his hand and said with a smile.


    Others couldn''t see that he was professional in martial arts. He once won the national martial arts championship, and it can be seen that Xiang Nan is a good effort. When filming martial arts action, every move is just right. If it hadn''t been for a good body of work, it would never have been so perfect.


    ?Just like Chen Hao, Jiang Qinqin, Ni Dahong and others, they have never learned martial arts before, but they just studied for two months before the filming started. So it was all about showmanship, and mistakes were often made during the filming scenes.


    Xiang Nan smiled slightly, his kung fu was indeed impressive.


    ??Although Wu Yue is a national martial arts champion, he mostly practices moves, which is different from real fighting. And Xiang Nan inherited Ip Man''s Wing Chun, which can really kill people.


    ?But this is not worth showing off. Now in the peaceful world, there is no need for him to kill people.


    ??Wu Yue saw that Xiang Nan was obviously good at martial arts but not showy or ostentatious, so he couldn''t help but be infected and lost a lot of his frivolous spirit.


    When Xiang Nan shoots fighting scenes, he goes into battle himself, without the need for a stand-in.


    ?This spirit of sacrifice has also infected the crew. All actors try their best to perform in person, and only use stand-ins unless the action is too difficult and cannot be completed.


    In this way, it will naturally be helpful to improve the quality of the series. Unlike some TV dramas, actors have to be stand-ins for every scene they film. There are literary substitutes in literary plays, martial arts substitutes in martial arts plays, naked substitutes in luo plays, and kiss substitutes in kiss scenes. Even rolling on the ground or falling over are all done by stand-ins.


    With so many stand-ins, the quality of the series will definitely not be better.


    Because acting is a two-way communication process, although the play is fake, the feelings are sincere. No matter how good an actor is, he still needs the cooperation and stimulation of his opponent to perform his ideal acting skills.


    ?If a stand-in is used for filming, the opponent''s performance will definitely be limited, which will affect the quality of the series.


    ??Moreover, when using a stand-in, you can only use a long lens and cannot take pictures of the face, which will also have a certain impact on the shooting.


    Under the leadership of Xiang Nan, the crew of "Liancheng Jue" has participated more in person, which is naturally good for improving the quality of the series.


    …


    During the filming of "The Secret of the City", many people from other crews also came to visit the set.


    ?For one thing, Kirin Pictures is a giant in the mainland entertainment industry. It is very good at movies and TV series and its reputation is quite high. With a company like this, whoever wants to get ahead in the mainland entertainment industry doesn’t want to build personal connections;


    Secondly, Xiang Nan is the richest man in China and one of the best in the world''s richest list. Who wouldn’t want to get to know such a big shot? If you fall in love, just a little advice from others will be enough to benefit you for life.


    ?For example, Feng Xiaogang was just an art assistant back then. Since following Xiang Nan, he has been on a meteoric rise and is now the second most famous influencer in the Mainland, only second to Zhang Yimou.


    Xiang Nan didn’t put on any airs about everyone’s visit. If he had time, he was willing to chat, take photos, and sign autographs.


    Because most of the people who dare to visit the class are well-known in the circle. For example, Su Youpeng, Lin Zhiying, Jiao Enjun, Lu Liangwei and others may have opportunities to cooperate in the future, so it is not a mistake to refuse others thousands of miles away.


    As for those who have no names or surnames, they dare not come to disturb Xiang Nan. Even if they dare, the crew will not let them go casually.


    ?Of course, Xiang Nan prefers to communicate with those female stars than with these male actors.


    ?For example, the actress Xiao Qiang in "Little Li Fei Dao". Xiao Qiang is known as the most beautiful woman in Taiwan. After Xiang Nan saw the real person, she didn''t feel as stunning as the legend. On the contrary, Chen Hao and Jiang Qinqin are much more beautiful than her.


    ?However, Xiao Qiangsheng is more seductive, crazy and coy, and is particularly good at making people happy. The so-called "Jieyuhua" is nothing more than that, so Xiang Nan feels that it is still worth the money.


    ?There are also actress Weng Hong in "Dharma" and the heroine Chen Derong in "The Two Prides". Xiang Nan has liked their film and television dramas before. Now that they have been together for a while, naturally he did not miss the opportunity.


    …


    In August, after filming for "The Secret of the City" at Feiteng Film and Television Base, it was time to go to the snowy mountains for location shooting. Since there was no role for Xiang Nan, he didn''t go.


    ??Furthermore, after three months of filming this drama, director Wang Wenjie has already gained insights, so there is no need for him to keep an eye on it.


    ?In addition to "The Secret of the City", Qilin Pictures also invested in Feng Xiaogang''s "A Sigh" in 1999. This script is adapted from Wang Tie''s novel "The Embarrassing".


    ?Feng Xiaogang prepared to film this movie two years ago. But in 1997, Wang Tie was boycotted by public opinion, and the novels, scripts, and essays he wrote could not be used, which brought the preparation of "A Sigh" to a standstill.


    ?It’s been two years now, and I can’t say that things have calmed down. At least the resistance is no longer as strong. Therefore, Feng Xiaogang seized the time and filmed "A Sigh".


    ?Although Feng Xiaogang has always behaved as a secular person, most of the movies he has made are commercial ones. But in fact, he still has artistic pursuits.


    In real life, he has filmed "Tangshan Earthquake", "Assembly Number", "Youth", "Cell Phone", "Night Banquet", "I''m Not Pan Jinlian", "1942", and "Only Yun Knows" etc., they are all more tragic and literary films.


    In comparison, he only has five comedies. Xiang Nan felt that he had mistakenly looked at Feng Xiaogang before.
