According to the schedule, the afternoon's work was outdoor shooting. It was to be done in an ancient Taoist temple in Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, which was also the scene where the main hall of the Shushan Sect was located in the TV series " A Thousand Flowers." This was also the main reason why the crew had come to Hong Kong for the outdoor shoot. From this, it could be seen that the morning shoot was just a warm-up at best. The afternoon shoot was the real highlight.
Su Chenxi got off the minibus and looked around. The entire filming location was half the size of a football field. The venue was filled with all kinds of props. More than a hundred staff members were busy, and there were even dozens of actors changing into their costumes. The actors who had already changed into their costumes were practicing killing each other under the arrangement of the martial arts director.
This was the scene where the Seven Kills Temple's army attacked the main hall of Mount Shu and Hua Qianduo led the Mount Shu disciples to fight back.
This was a real big production. The cost of shooting such a big scene was equivalent to the cost of some low-cost films. There was no room for mistakes during the filming process. Any random NG would cause the cost of filming to rise.
Su Chenxi suddenly felt like she was being bullied. Even Shao Qianli could tell that she was anxious and uneasy.
Shao Qianli pulled Su Chenxi aside and asked,"Are you worried that you won't act well and will be laughed at by the production team?”
Su Chenxi nodded silently and said,"Am I stupid? I'm having a lot of problems during the simple shoot in the morning. The afternoon is a live shoot. There are dozens of actors participating. I'm afraid that I'll slow down the progress of the entire production team because of me…Aiya, if I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have come…I…What should I do now? What should we do?"
As Su Chenxi spoke, she squatted on the ground and hugged her head with both hands. She looked so worried that the sky was about to fall.
Shao Qianli pulled Su Chenxi up and said sternly,"Get up, get up!" Then, she held Su Chenxi's shoulders with both hands and trembled violently. She continued,"Pull yourself together. Only cowards choose to run away…Tell me, you can do it, you can do it.”
Su Chenxi was like a broken puppet. No matter how Shao Qianli shook her, she still had a listless and bitter face.
Seeing Su Chenxi's helpless expression, Shao Qianli shouted,""Su Chenxi, look at me. Look into my eyes…Think about how you felt when you almost fell down from the stairs this morning…You're not even afraid of death for this opportunity to perform.”
Perhaps Shao Qianli's words had touched Su Chenxi's heart. She recalled how she had schemed to deceive her mother in the morning, how she had almost fallen to her death while hanging on the balcony on the sixth floor, and how she had colluded with Shao Qianli to sneak out of the house on the pretext of taking a statement. What was all of this for?
Su Chenxi's gaze slowly became determined. She nodded fiercely and said,"You're right. I can't give up. I'm not even afraid of death.”
Then, Su Chenxi opened her arms and said to Shao Qianli,"Come! Give me an encouraging hug!"
Shao Qianli pulled Su Chenxi into his arms and hugged her tightly. He patted her back with his right hand and said,"Believe in me and believe in yourself. You can do it.”
After leaving Shao Qianli's embrace, Su Chenxi exchanged a palm strike with Shao Qianli and shouted,"I, Su Chenxi, have been resurrected with full health. Gimmefive!”
Su Chenxi's mood immediately lightened up after receiving Shao Qianli's encouragement.
At this moment, Director Lin Yufen gathered the main cast and crew to explain the requirements for the afternoon's filming and the effect they needed to achieve. As a stunt double, Su Chenxi naturally had to listen.
According to the script, the Battle of Mount Shu was the turning point of the entire plot, and the main storyline would reach a high point here. At the same time, the emotional storyline interweaved with the main storyline, emphasizing that everyone loved Hua Qianduo, but Hua Qianduo only loved her master, Bai Zihua. Bai Zihua did not let down the world, but only let down a thousand flowers, such a love theme. From then on, the prologue to the sadistic love between Hua Qianduo and Bai Zihua began.
Therefore, when this scene was shot, the main point of the male supporting roles such as Ma Kai and Zhang Danfeng was the affection for Hua Qianduo.
Dongfang Yuqing (played by Zhang Danfeng) did not hesitate to expose his identity and set up the Wonder Gate Array, not for the sake of Mount Shu, but for the sake of flowers. Killing Qianmo (Ma Kai) would rather injure his loyal subordinate Shan Chunqiu just to protect Hua Qianduo.
As for the character Hua Qianduo, the main point was to protect Mount Shu without fear of the enemy. She was not indifferent to the feelings of Dongfang Yuqing and Sha Qianmo, but she only had Bai Zihua in her heart.
With this theme, in the next performance, Zhang Danfeng, Ma Kai, and the others couldn't appear to be anxious when the Shushan disciples suffered heavy casualties. Otherwise, they would go off the topic. It was only when Hua Qianduo was in danger that she would show that kind of anxious expression. Even when Hua Qianduo was injured, she should show an appropriate intimacy, such as pulling her behind to protect her, hugging her in a tender embrace, and so on.
As for Zhao Yuying's performance, the safety of Mount Shu was the top priority, so she had to maintain her anxious expression at all times. As for Dongfang Yuqing and Sha Qianmo's affection, she could not reject them, but she could not appear to be infatuated, because Hua Qianduo only had Bai Zihua in her heart. Therefore, Zhao Yuying's next performance required a high level of difficulty. Between being unable to refuse and appearing infatuated, he had to grasp this level well.
Director Lin's requirements were already close to that of a movie. Under normal circumstances, the filming requirements of a TV series would not be as high as that of a movie. However, the Battle of Shushan was the first part of the story. If a TV series could not properly interpret the characters in the first part of the story, then the TV series would really be a bad movie.
To put it simply, Director Lin was telling everyone to get ready to show off their acting skills.
