Chapter 111 Parkour

Chapter 111 Parkour

Of course, Zhao Tao would not believe that Xiao Yao was really crazy after a phone call from Zhao Rui. Besides, Ye Jiaying is still in the crew. Even if Xiao Yao really wants to inform Xiao Siqi of something, he won’t be able to pass through the big circle of the father and son, let alone Zhao Rui’s call with obvious emotion.

After asking the whole story, Zhao Tao instead began to use Xiao Yao’s affair to educate Zhao Ruilai.

“Don’t look at you acting for several years, the amount is a lot. But if you really want to talk about the filming, you really can’t compare to Bayi.” Zhao Tao said on the phone: “Experience. Characters, digging in the prescribed situation, haven’t I told you these things? There’s a lingo in Peking opera saying that you don’t live without being mad. Actually, it’s the same in our business. Of course, Bayi is an evildoer, even among our grown-up actors. Few people can do that for a role. You can’t do it like Bayi. I don’t blame you, but at least you have to be right in your mentality. You have to look at people with a learning mentality, not Call me and tell me he is crazy.”

The most authoritative director in the crew never stopped Xiao Yao. Instead, he laughed and watched him making trouble every day, and other people couldn’t say anything. After an adaptation period of almost a week, everyone slowly discovered that Xiao Yao doesn’t seem to be so difficult to get along with.

In fact, to put it plainly, Xiao Yao also brought the character of “Chengying” and the way of being in the world into life, and he did not really become a “Chengying” completely.

It was an ancient character, and he didn’t even know what the camera was. If Xiao Yao completely became a “Changying”, how would he make a film? In terms of the character and behavior of the character “Chengying”, it is actually the most likable character in the whole play. So what can’t everyone take if Xiao Yao is a modern version of “Chengying” for the time being. Of it? That is to say, you have never seen such a filming before, just not used to it for a while.

After everyone accepted Xiao Yao’s behavior in life, they also began to marvel at how Xiao Yao was able to be in the state of “shading” for such a long time. That is just a character in the script, a fictional character, and it is definitely not an easy task to keep the behavior of every moment in full compliance with the “shadow”.

So, Chen Xiaoting thought of the seven or eight pages of unfinished biographies that he saw in his hotel room the night before the filming of Xiao Yao’s scene. No wonder he said that he couldn’t help himself to solve the problem after the filming started. At that time, he was already preparing to turn himself into a “photographer” after the filming started.

And after Chen Xiaoting spread the story about Xiao Yao’s preparation for the character biography, Su Chengying also remembered the so-called “Secret Book of the Movie” that Xiao Yao had told herself a few years ago, and then realized that he was not just talking about it, it was really that way. It’s done.

However, the biggest reason for people in the crew to accept Xiao Yao’s acting method is because it is indeed effective. Otherwise, no matter how good your theory is, if you actually make it in a mess, or have no effect, it can only be regarded as a lunatic mess.

Xiao Yao acted for the first time as a rookie, but the number of NGs during shooting was very small. Even if there were, it was mostly because of the deviation between the position or face orientation and the camera position or lens orientation.

After all, he did not have a camera when he was acting in dramas. Reality shows were followed by shooting. Variety shows basically only faced the audience in one direction, and he did not need to consider the position of the camera. He really had no experience in this aspect. However, his learning ability is very strong. After a few days of shooting, he basically doesn’t even have this NG. He acted well and filmed smoothly, so the people in the crew would naturally not say much about his abnormal behavior.

However, this way of experiencing roles is of great help to filming literary dramas, but it is very limited for filming martial arts. In particular, although his physical fitness is very good, the Shaolin Changquan and Bajiquan he learned are both strong and fierce. They are not inconsistent with the smart and elegant martial arts of “Chengying”. Many movements are not smooth. It also brought a lot of trouble.

The filming sequence of TV series is generally based on the sequence of the plot, but it is not absolute.

In this play, because there are many martial arts scenes that need to use Avia, the fight is relatively concentrated and placed behind to shoot. One is to reduce the number of times that Avia is disassembled as much as possible to improve shooting efficiency. On the other hand, It also gives time for the actors to get to know and understand each other better, so as to avoid accidental injuries in the process of filming. Therefore, the problems encountered by Xiao Yao’s filming scenes were only exposed at a relatively late time.

Xiao Yao is not omniscient and omnipotent, and he did not expect this problem before.

Originally, he thought that with his physical fitness, it is not difficult to make movements in accordance with the requirements of martial arts instructors. But after actually trying it, he realized that after more than ten years of hard-core boxing, he already has a considerable degree of muscle memory, and he feels awkward how to do those elegant movements.

This is just a matter of action style, not counting his lack of experience in hanging Wia. After being hoisted into the air by Wia, there is no root under his feet, and the feeling of limblessness is not something that everyone has experienced. In this case, how to maintain his figure, even to complete some designated actions, is also a problem he needs to solve.

Using an avatar is a solution, but the director doesn’t want to use it when it really doesn’t work, otherwise the physical fitness will not be a focus of the director’s investigation when the actor was originally selected. For Xiao Yao, using a substitute meant some kind of failure for him, and he was even more reluctant. So he has to find a way to solve these problems.

The problem of Hanging Wia is not difficult to solve.

The reason is simple, that is, no experience. The solution is also very simple, which is to hang a few more times and hang for a period of time each time. The big deal is to ask the martial arts and the masters who operate the Wia for a favor, give him a small stove, so that he has no scenes to shoot, and when Wia is just free, let him practice hanging a few more times.

As for the hard work of training too much, even wearing a belt for a long time to wear off the waist and abdomen, it is not a problem for Xiao Yao, who has been practicing martial arts for many years and has an adult mind and willpower.

Xiao Yao gave himself extra training to have better results when filming, and the selected time is not to affect the free time of normal shooting. The director will definitely not object, and the Wuxing and Weiya masters will naturally not shy away from making things difficult. What’s more, Xiao Yao’s very sensible and generous private person sealed them red envelopes, which was regarded as compensation for occupying their private rest time.

Speaking of this, this is also the business of the crew. The masters are still a little embarrassed to receive Xiao Yao’s red envelopes, but Xiao Yao stood in front of them with a “Cheng Ying” cute and unrequited expression, staring with bulging eyes. Looking at them, when you don’t accept me, I will be angry and make you trouble, and the masters will laugh at it.

The problem of Hanging Wia is solved, but the problem of action style is not easy to solve.

Muscle memory is something that has been accumulated over the years. It is like a human habit, and it is difficult to change it for a while. But even if it is difficult, Xiao Yao can only work hard to change it. To change a person’s habit of doing something in a short period of time, it is usually done in a different way in a short period of time, and a large amount of short-term accumulation is used to offset the behavioral inertia formed before.

Xiao Yao also uses this method to change his action style. But what he had learned before was hard-line boxing, and for a while, he had no place to learn another kind of boxing that was elegant and flexible.

Many of the martial arts directors and martial arts of the crew have learned martial arts, but you can let them design a few smart and elegant movements, but it is difficult to make a complete set of sustainable movements. Xiao Yao also thought of practicing those movements alone, but fluency is also a characteristic of agility and elegance. If there are only a few movements, it takes ten seconds to complete. When repeating, it will inevitably stop in the middle, and the awkward feeling will come back. .

In desperation, Xiao Yao remembered a sport that he had watched countless related videos in his previous life, but had not tried it, parkour.

Parkour can be regarded as a kind of extreme sport. It usually takes some special scenes in daily urban life as sports venues. This sport does not have established rules and actions, but uses various architectural terrain and facilities in life as obstacles or aids, and walks through this environment by running, jumping, and leaping.

The characteristics of this sport are fast, flexible, agile, and very ornamental, which just meets the smooth, agile, and elegant requirements that Xiao Yao needs now.

The plot of the drama “Ling Yun Zhi” involves a lot of content from temples to rivers and lakes, and the scenes are also very complicated. The crew has also contracted a large area of ​​the film and television base for this purpose, which includes a variety of ancient buildings and various scene facilities, whether it is obstacles or auxiliary facilities, which can be seen everywhere, used for parkour and terrain. The conditions happen to be met.

So, during the break time, you can often see a figure running around in various places on the set of the crew.

When he started practicing on the first day, Xiao Yao chose an ancient street road that was rarely used.

Xiao Yao started running from one end of the street. He saw a wooden frame with some gadgets placed on the side of the street. He jumped up and leaped over. After landing steadily with his feet, he found that the whole person stopped.

The momentum of    is gone, and there is no continuity. Xiao Yao shook his head and could only start again.

In my mind, I went through all the actions in the parkour videos I watched in the previous life, and Xiao Yao returned to the starting point he set to start again.

This time, Xiao Yao kept his weight forward after leaping over the booth. After landing with his feet, he did not stop. Instead, following the forward momentum, he rolled his body forward and rolled forward on the ground, and then stood. Started and continued to run forward, this time, it really became a lot smoother.

Then the second obstacle that appeared was a stall with a relatively flat surface. I don’t know if it’s used for selling vegetables, cooked food, or selling cloth. It’s not during the filming period. There are no props on it, and it’s just like a table. On the street.

This time Xiao Yao decided to change the way. After rushing to the front, he jumped up and threw forward flatly, supporting his hands on the flat surface of the booth, and then using both hands and waist and abdomen at the same time, folding his legs forward, thinking He wanted the whole person to pass over the stall, but the height of the feet was not raised enough, and the feet hooked to the side edge of the stall. Not only did the whole person fall forward and fall on the ground, but he even took the stall down. Up.

Fortunately, Xiao Yao knew that it was the first time that he did it. He wore protective measures such as gloves, elbow pads and knee pads. Although he fell on the ground and grinned with pain, he did not suffer any injuries.

gritted his teeth, Xiao Yao insisted on standing up, propped up the stall he had knocked down, and walked slowly back to the starting point he set at the end of the street. This time he secretly warned himself that he must pay attention to the accuracy of the movements and the height of the rise. Then he started his third attempt…

Xiao Yao, who doesn’t have to be filming this day, spent the whole day competing with all the obstacles on this street. When he returned to the hotel at night, he felt more tired than hanging Wia for a whole day. But what makes him feel relieved is that every time he falls, he responds pretty well, controlling his body is to let the protective gear land on the ground, and there are no bruises on his arms or legs.

Although he is tired, he has a strong learning ability and the effect is obvious this day. At least for the last few times, he could run through the street without hindrance.

On the second and third days, Xiao Yao still ran on the street, but in order to avoid his inertia and strengthen his flexibility and reaction on the spot, he changed two different streets in the past two days.

On the fourth day, Xiao Yao started to use the pillars to jump to the second floor of the restaurant facing the street.
