Chapter 929 The Chatty Emperor!
“Director, the media reporters are all here.” As they finished the meeting, a staff member came in and said.
“Okay,” Director Chen Xiaogang stood up with a smile and said, “then let’s go together.”
As he spoke, he stood up and led everyone out of the room.
Everyone understood that the real opening ceremony had already been held. Now, this opening ceremony was actually an invitation to ask the media to publicize. After all, it was great to have this kind of opportunity to publicize.
With the director leading the way, they arrived at an open grassland.
At this moment, a large table had been set up on the grassland. On the table was a large pig head, as well as some fruits and such.
Then, surrounded by media reporters, everyone began to light the incense sticks and pray for blessings, posing for the photos.
The reporters invited weren’t negligent in the slightest.
The cameras kept shooting at Fang Qiu.
Almost at the same time, the photos of Fang Qiu dressing up as Yang Yizhi were spread to the Internet.
They were not posted by the staff on the scene, but by the reporters who were invited.
The reason why they came here as free publicity workers was that they wanted to attract attention. And among this group of people, Fang Qiu was undoubtedly the one who attracted the most attention.
Therefore, as soon as they saw Fang Qiu, they immediately took photos of Fang Qiu dressing up and posted them online.
This was the attractive point!
As for the production team, they were also happy to see the reporters do this.
This was publicity!
As expected, as soon as Fang Qiu’s photos were posted on the Internet, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people especially Fang Qiu’s fans.
In a flash, the topic, #Fang Qiu’s photo as Yang Yizhi#, went straight to the top of the trending topic on Weibo.
“He’s so handsome!”
“Oh my god, Master Fang Qiu is so handsome that I’m drooling.”
“He’s incredible. Master Fang Qiu is really suitable for the ancient costume. He can’t be more suitable for it!”
“Well, I’m not boasting. He does have the aura of an ancient chivalrous hero, and he is also good-looking, much better than those handsome fresh meat.”
Because it was the top among the trending topics, numerous netizens also participated in the discussion.
Different from what they did before, the netizens’ opinions were surprisingly consistent with Fang Qiu’s fans this time.
“I’m not boasting. He’s really handsome!”
“Yes, he did create that kind of feeling.”
“It’s different from ordinary ancient chivalrous heroes. It’s really suitable. I’m looking forward to it!”
“This guy is so attractive.”
“He is a bit too handsome. I remember that the ancient martial arts experts all look rough. They are not like those beautiful men at all although Fang Qiu’s presence looks a bit rough.”
“I wasn’t expecting it at first, but when I saw Fang Qiu’s photo, I’m actually looking forward to it. I hope the movie won’t become a disaster. Otherwise, this look will completely be wasted.”
As the heated discussion continued, everyone was increasingly looking forward to the movie, especially Fang Qiu’s look and his performance in the film, which aroused everyone’s curiosity.
At Yanqi Shooting Base, the movie officially began shooting!
“Get ready. The first scene.” Director Chen Xiaogang sat in the director’s chair and let people on the spot get ready. After observing the preparations on the scene, he hesitated for a moment, then went straight to He Gaoming and said, “Mr. He, are you ready?”
“It’s easy,” He Gaoming smiled confidently and said, “all the action actors know how to do it.”
Director Chen Xiaogang asked, “Okay, why don’t you guys demonstrate it to our actors first?”
He Gaoming nodded, then waved his hand and shouted, “No problem. Guys, let’s get to work.”
After that, 18 people walked out from the crowd and acted as assassins, while the others acted as guards.
“Everyone, come here.” Director Chen Xiaogang shouted and asked all the actors to come.
Everyone gathered around.
They wondered how this action director would design a scene of chasing and killing.
“I didn’t expect to be an emperor in this life,” He Gaoming said with a grin.
Hearing that, everyone was speechless at once.
He seemed like a silly guy.
If he considered this an opportunity to be an emperor, he could be the emperor thousands of times a day!
“All right,” Chen Xiaogang said, “the main reason I ask you to come this time is that I hope everyone can carefully watch Mr. He’s action scene. Every one of you must remember your actions. During the filming process, you need to reproduce the moves perfectly. Although these are only moves in the beginning, there are still plenty of action scenes to follow. These moves will be used later on. Consider this a preparation in advance.”
Hearing that, everyone nodded with understanding.
They were all actors and naturally understood the process. The most difficult part of a movie was the action scene.
Director Chen Xiaogang shouted, “Action.”
He Gaoming immediately got into character. He directly went to the lake and stood straight.
“With such beautiful scenery in front of me, maybe I should recite a poem.”
With that in mind, He Gaoming immediately started to think, searching for an appropriate poem.
After a long while, he actually said, “Looking at this scene, I want to recite a poem. This tree is planted by me, and this mountain is developed by me. Whoever wants to pass here needs to leave their money!”
Originally, he was an action director. All he needed to do was to demonstrate the fighting scene for the actors and correct their moves. No one expected that he would really start acting as soon as he started.
However, this was just an act. Since he had already begun, Director Chen Xiaogang had nothing else to say. He simply allowed him to continue.
However, those words that came out of his mouth stunned everyone!
F*ck!
Was this a poem?
In such a beautiful place, a man who was about to be the emperor actually say such words. He was not a bandit, okay?
Although they were speechless, no one said anything to interrupt him.
Anyway, it was not an official shooting. He could do whatever he wanted.
According to the plot, the killer arrived just as He Gaoming finished reciting the poem.
18 people rushed out and started a fight without saying anything, separating the guards and then going straight to He Gaoming.
“What the f*ck, are they fighting for real?” He Gaoming was shocked by what he saw.
As for the guards, they also exerted their real strength to fight with the 18 assassins while covering He Gaoming’s escape.
On the scene, every actor knew his position and was staring at the person playing his role. They were carefully watching the actions that they were going to do, except for the 18 assassins, because the killers would not change even though the guards around Zhu Yuanzhang would change.
After all, He Gaoming was the action director of this movie, and his people were naturally actors in this movie. Some action scenes that were important to the plot and had nothing to do with the characters needed them to perform in person. Sometimes, when the protagonist could not make the moves, they even had to be the understudies of the protagonist to complete difficult actions.
The fight made all the staff on the scene extremely excited because it was spectacular.
In the entire fight, everyone died in a magnificent manner.
Everyone was absorbed in the plot unknowingly.
They were amazed while watching the scene.
“Is, is this fake fighting?”
“Isn’t this too real?”
“Amazing. They’re doing so well. No wonder Director Chen chose them to be the action direction team.”
Everyone was amazed.
No one expected that.
It was remarkable that this action direction team, which participated in shooting a movie for the first time, could perform so perfectly.
Some actors who didn’t participate in this action scene were also shocked by this scene in front of them.
“Director Chen, did they rehearse before?” Someone asked in surprise.
“No rehearsal. There is no rehearsal at all. This is the first time!” Director Chen Xiaogang couldn’t help but get exhilarated.
With his experience as a director for so many years, he knew clearly that if this scene appeared on the big screen of the cinema, it would definitely be spectacular and would become a point that surprised the audience.
The only problem was that He Gaoming’s acting was truly a bit dramatic.
This man was chirping nonstop while running away, which seemed like a chatterbox. He didn’t look like an emperor at all!
Soon, during the chasing and fighting scene which could make the audience feel spectacular and people who participated in the movie feel great awe for it, He Gaoming, under the protection of the guards, finally ran to a wooden board which represented Yang Yizhi’s thatched cottage on the mountain.
Just as He Gaoming ran here, Li Boqing, who had replaced Fang Qiu, came out with a chopper in his hand. He rescued He Gaoming for Fang Qiu and fought with the 18 people.
An incomparably wonderful action scene immediately began.
All the people present were attracted by the battle, including the director.
It was simply too spectacular!
A fierce battle came to an end.
Li Boqing killed 18 people with his chopper!
The performance was over.
“Clap, clap, clap…” All the people present applauded one after another.
The fighting of this scene was extraordinary!
These action actors were remarkable.
Seeing everyone applauding, He Gaoming came over with a smug smile and said to Chen Xiaogang, “Director Chen, how is it? I played well, didn’t I?”
Chen Xiaogang ignored him.
It wasn’t that he didn’t hear him, but that he didn’t want to talk to him at all.
Not only did he ignore him, but he also complained in his heart. “How dare you ask me since your acting is the worst?”
When he looked at the other action actors, Chen Xiaogang’s eyes lit up.
He was aware that he had found treasures this time.
This action direction team was incredible!
Wulin truly existed in this world!
He could tell that these people weren’t pretending to fight.
“I’ve decided.” Chen Xiaogang had pondered for a moment before he said, “Except for the leading role, the guards and assassins will not be changed. We’ll let those action experts play. Just play as they did just now.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Get ready.”
Li Baoguo who played Zhu Yuanzhang and Fang Qiu playing Yang Yizhi also came to the scene. They went to a place to make preparations. Then, Chen Xiaogang immediately asked the filming team to start setting the shooting track, ready to film it with one shot.
After all, the fight of this group of people was too continuous. If they shot one scene after another, it would exhaust them to death.
The most important thing was that Chen Xiaogang believed that Li Baoguo’s acting skills could absolutely help them film it with one shot.
As for Fang Qiu, his part only appeared at the end of this scene anyway. Even if he couldn’t make it with one shot, it wouldn’t be a problem to do his retakes later.
During the shooting, He Gaoming, as an action director, also shouldered great responsibility and prepared to instruct these actors how they should make the moves!
However, when he heard that his own people were going to fight in person, he immediately gave up the idea. With his own people acting, he didn’t need to instruct at all.
