Chapter 197: Filming a Movie, Why Are You Playing with Your Life? ?
"What do you mean by tried?"
Dong Deng looked at Lin Xing and asked in surprise.
Not only Dong Deng, but even Wei Fei and Ren Shuai who occasionally discussed the script with Lin Xing were a little confused.
How did you try it? ?
"I paid a little attention to these two scenes when I was in the [script study] before, and then I discussed the action situation with action director Guo Teng..."
Lin Xing smiled and explained a few words.
This time, the action director of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is Guo Teng, who occasionally makes a cameo appearance in the crew. Lin Xing didn't know him before, but Guo Teng and Hong Fei have been friends for many years, so they are a little familiar with each other.
During the filming period of more than half a month, Lin Xing often went to Guo Teng to ask about some action scenes, especially some key nodes of his filming of these two scenes.
At first, Guo Teng really didn't understand, because in Guo Teng's view, why did Lin Xing do it so personally? ?
Action movies are declining now. Forget about the old generation of action actors and kung fu emperors. Even Wu Kun, who was once called the successor of the new generation of martial arts superstars, can only play guest roles and play supporting roles.
Who do you think is still doing martial arts seriously? ?
Most of the current action directors really just set the action, and some actors are even too lazy to hang Weiye. They just gesture and then do the double.
Just look at the fighting scenes now. Basically, they are shot in slow motion and telephoto. When they are shot in close-up, they give the actors a cool look.
It can be said that fighting scenes are now bad money driving out good money, because when everyone finds that there is no need to set such complicated martial arts actions, and there is no need to work hard to achieve the effect, as long as the post-production computer synthesis plus the subsequent publicity can make the audience pay.
So what would you do if it were you? ?
Guo Teng has been accustomed to it for many years, or numb to it. Now in the circle, not only traffic artists do this, but also some actors who used to have skills do this.
The reason is also very simple.
Why would you want to work so hard when you can just lie down and make money?
And it's not safe.
So when Guo Teng first heard that Lin Xing was going to perform in person, he didn't understand. Of course, he had heard about Lin Xing's ability from Hong Fei, and he knew Lin Xing's professionalism.
But now the situation in this circle is that it is not shameful for actors to use a stand-in when filming action scenes.
Just like actors using dubbing, it is a sacrifice for the crew.
It can even promote a wave.
People who are not in the circle don't understand the degree of distortion of this circle at present.
It is precisely because of this that Guo Teng didn't understand why Lin Xing did this at first?
Even privately, Guo Teng tactfully advised Lin Xing that there was really no need to do this.
It is obvious that Guo Teng thinks that Lin Xing did this to promote himself.
Of course, Lin Xing didn't explain anything.
He just filmed as usual while discussing with Guo Teng the actions of this scene, the landing point when jumping off the roof, and even waiting for how to hit the car when falling from the roof, etc.
However, what Guo Teng didn't know was that Lin Xing had tried all the positions himself.
He was not a skilled and daring person, Lin Xing just felt that the danger of this action scene was far from that high.
In the eyes of professionals, this action scene was just like some artists who had to rush to the hospital when their hands were broken.
It was not that serious.
It's just that everyone thinks that Lin Xing is a traffic artist. After all, traffic artists are dedicated to their work when their hands are broken. Why would they risk getting injured to film? ? ?
Moreover, in Dong Deng's view, Lin Xing is one of the soul figures of the crew of "For Whom the Bell Tolls". If he gets injured, the progress of the crew will be greatly reduced.
So Dong Deng thought about doing everything possible to stop Lin Xing from taking risks.
Filming a movie, why are you risking your life? ?
As a result, when Dong Deng listened to Lin Xing's talk, he was a little confused: "You said you did this scene yourself???"
At this point, Dong Deng did not wait for Lin Xing to speak and directly said to Guo Teng: "What's wrong with you? How could such a dangerous action be done by Ah Xing without any protection???"
"Director Dong, I..."
Guo Teng was also a little confused.
Because Guo Teng didn't know anything at all.
Lin Xing hurriedly said: "Director Dong, this is really not Brother Teng's fault. I did it secretly by myself and he didn't know."
For Lin Xing, since he wanted to shoot this scene, he must be fully prepared.
As Dong Deng said, when an actor joins the crew, the actor is no longer just responsible for himself, he is also responsible for the crew.
If you are injured because of your carelessness or carelessness and affect the progress of the crew, then this is an extremely irresponsible behavior.
So, Lin Xing specifically found other people to try jumping and actions under good protection.
There was basically no problem.
"Okay."
Dong Deng nodded gently: "Since Ah Xing, you have already tried it, then the next scene will be filmed..."
Although he said so, Dong Deng still asked Guo Teng to take full protection for Lin Xing, and he must not let Lin Xing get hurt.
Half an hour later, the scene of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was ready to be filmed.
"Ah Xing, you can jump at this point later..."
Guo Teng was giving Lin Xing the final explanation.
At this time, many people in the crew were watching.
"This Lin Xing really doesn't need a substitute???"
"The difficulty of this scene is not easy, and can he complete it without a substitute??"
"I have never heard that Lin Xing can do action scenes before, and he has no Kung Fu background..."
"Brother Kun, it shouldn't be a problem for you to do this scene."
…
Many people in the play were discussing it privately.
Some people think that Lin Xing is just pretending to be a little bit, just filming a scene, what are you trying to do? ? ?
Isn't it good to use a substitute? ?
Wu Kun smiled while looking at the situation on the field: "This scene is actually not too difficult, but when I say it is not too difficult, I mean for the dragon and tiger martial arts masters, because they often do these dangerous moves, but It is actually quite difficult for Lin Xing, after all, he..."
Obviously, Wu Kun's words were relatively professional.
At this time, the filming of this scene officially started.

Lin Xing ran quickly, and then quickly jumped over. There was a mattress over there. Lin Xing just rolled along, and at the same time, he did not stop, and flew directly down from the roof.
This action can be said to be done in one go.
"Holy shit!!!"
Someone exclaimed: "What Lin Xing did was no worse than a professional."
"Brother Kun, what do you think of Lin Xing's performance?"
Someone continued to ask.

I have been trying to find my status these past two days, so please give the orangutan a little more time.
