Chapter 70 Thrilling falling into the water
The filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was actually very hard, especially for the two leading actors, who were either hanging wires or soaking in the water.
This is Jiuzhaigou in winter.
The water in Jiuzhaigou is still snowy. There were several times when Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei were so cold that their hands and feet could not feel anything. They just relied on their subconscious mind to get up from the water.
Liu Yifei was already thin, but after more than half a month of filming, she lost weight again.
Zhang Yuanjun is also in the same situation. He gained weight and muscle mass before and gained weight, but now he has lost a lot of weight.
Both of them had injuries on their hands, waist, back, and legs.
After another water scene, Zhang Yuanjun came out of the water with Liu Yifei in his arms, and their respective assistants quickly wrapped them in blankets.
Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei both have white lips. Zhang Yuanjun bared his teeth: "It's too cold."
The makeup artist was arranging his hair and touching up makeup. Zhang Yuanjun told the assistant director on the scene: "I was mentally prepared in advance that the water was very cold, but the moment I went down, my whole body was numb from the cold, and all I wanted to do was get up quickly.
”
Liu Yifei took a sip of hot water on the side and said: "My brain is all confused." So she kept holding on to Zhang Yuanjun tightly underwater. At this time, she could only trust her partner.
In fact, she didn't tell the crew that there were several times when she felt she couldn't survive, her mind went blank, and her limbs couldn't control themselves.
If Zhang Yuanjun hadn't been the first to hold her back every time, she wouldn't have imagined what would happen.
"Have you passed?" Zhang Yuanjun still has no feeling in his body. He can only hold a hot water bottle and rub it continuously. He doesn't dare to sit down and rest. He keeps moving his hands and feet in place, hoping to quickly restore the body's heat.
"It's over." The assistant director told the two.
"What's the next show?"
"The next scene is still the water scene. We will go back to Pearl Beach to shoot the fight scene between you and Li Mochou. This is the last scene in Jiuzhaigou. After filming, we will go to Yandang Mountain."
Due to the good operation of the crew and the excellent performances of the actors, the original 40 days of filming in Jiuzhaigou were reduced to 28 days.
Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei went to change their clean clothes and set off to Pearl Beach Waterfall.
Maybe it was the sequelae of being frozen in the snow before, but now Zhang Yuanjun still feels like his right eyelid is twitching.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yifei and Zhang Yuanjun took a scenic sightseeing bus to Pearl Beach Waterfall. She felt something was wrong with Zhang Yuanjun.
"It's okay." Zhang Yuanjun rubbed his face, "Maybe it's still cold, my face is tight, and I feel like I can't make any expressions." Zhang Yuanjun said and made the open expression he learned in his freshman year again, with his face relaxed.
To the maximum and then to the minimum, it helps students liberate their nature and also helps relax facial muscles.
"How about it? You haven't studied it, have you?" Liu Yifei looked like she had never seen the world.
"Isn't it about liberating one's nature? Who can't do that?" Liu Yifei also read this in a book.
"Have you seen what you have done? How many classes have you taken in your freshman year? You are not here to liberate your nature, you are not here to simulate animals, and you are not here to observe society."
"Mom! Look at him! He's bullying me again!" Liu Yifei called for foreign aid.
Liu Xiaoli sat aside and happily watched the two bickering, and said with a smile: "After we finish filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", we will go back to school and have a good class."
She saw her daughter's hard work in filming, and thought that after filming the film, she would let her take a good rest and go back to school for a few days.
Not long after, the group arrived at the Pearl Beach studio.
The fight scene to be filmed required Yang Guo, Xiao Longnu and Li Mochou to stand on some rocks under the waterfall.
Meng Guangmei has arrived early. It should be said that Meng Guangmei's appearance is fine, but her makeup style, Li Mochou, is indeed a bit strange. She dyes her hair properly, which is neither fish nor fowl.
In the same place, Liu Yifei and Meng Guangmei just finished filming a wonderful and beautiful flower umbrella fight scene a few days ago.
This scene was filmed for three full days. Liu Yifei got up at 6:30 every morning to stretch her legs and practice kungfu. The effect was also praised repeatedly by Yu Min.
The action guide first walks the three people outside the court and gives them the essentials of the action.
"The water flow is quite fast, and there is a cliff behind it. You must be careful when doing the movements later. Don't force it if you can't do it. We will use a substitute." Yu Min warned the three of them.
"Okay." The three of them agreed.
The three of them stood on the rock, waiting for the director's instructions.
"Start."
The three of them started "fighting" according to the previous action instructions, but were soon called to stop.
The assistant director also stood up and explained the play to them.
I took this shot three more times and still couldn’t pass.
Either the actor's movements were not done well, or other factors on set interfered with the shooting.
After being clicked again, the three actors, the assistant director, and the action director stood under the waterfall and talked about the drama.
Zhang Yuanjun's right eyelid began to twitch again, twitching twice, and he subconsciously turned his head to glance at Liu Yifei beside him.
Liu Yifei's foot slipped.
"Ah!" the girl shouted and fell into the water.
Zhang Yuanjun, with quick eyesight and quick hands, took a step forward and grabbed Liu Yifei's hand.
Only then did the assistant director of the crew react and quickly jumped into the water to lift Liu Yifei up.
Liu Xiaoli outside the court was almost scared to death and ran over shouting: "Sissi, are you okay, Sissi!"
Liu Yifei lay on Zhang Yuanjun's shoulder, her heart beating loudly. Zhang Yuanjun patted her back gently: "It's okay, it's okay."
Liu Yifei actually didn't cry, maybe she was too frightened and forgot to cry.
She got up from Zhang Yuanjun's shoulders, and Zhang Yuanjun trimmed her hair. She also said, "I'm fine, are you okay?"
Zhang Yuanjun and the assistant director took Liu Yifei back to the shore. Liu Xiaoli hugged her daughter and said, "I was scared to death."
"Mom, I'm fine." Liu Yifei also comforted others.
"Did you knock somewhere?"
"No, I'm not injured." Liu Yifei smiled.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." Liu Xiaoli held her daughter's hand tightly.
Yu Min quickly apologized, saying that it was the crew's failure to take good safety measures.
Mother Liu is not an unreasonable person. She watched the whole process. It was Liu Yifei who accidentally slipped and fell. The crew is not to blame.
Before she could speak, Liu Yifei said first: "I did it accidentally, and I don't blame the crew."
Yu Min apologized again and paused the filming of this scene: "We'll call it a day and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Before Liu Yifei and her mother left, she turned back and took a deep look at Zhang Yuanjun.
Zhang Yuanjun took most of the day off and returned to the hotel to take a shower and change clothes.
Assistant Xiao Zhao was still talking about the thrilling scene just now: "It was too dangerous. Fortunately, you held it, otherwise Yifei would have been washed away. There was a cliff ahead."
"Okay, now that everything is over and everyone is fine, don't talk about it anymore, and don't talk about it to others if they ask you."
"I don't need to tell you, so many people on the crew have seen it."
"We just don't spread such words ourselves." Zhang Yuanjun cleaned up and said, "Let's go and take you to eat something delicious. I haven't eaten well these past few days while filming."
"Thank you boss!"
