Chapter 396: Eye-Catching Start
After watching the moves designed by Li Sang, Lu Yang, who was filming a martial arts film for the first time, was also moved.
There is no doubt that the sound of metal colliding can move the people at the scene, and it can also move the audience in the theater.
Yes, there are some flaws in the movements designed by Li Sang, but he achieved this effect with just some casual guidance.
What comes after all the meticulous craftsmanship?
Wouldn't that be an explosive effect?
What happens after dubbing?
What about after editing?
Thinking of this, Lu Yang stood up and was about to go find Shen Lang to discuss how to make this matter a smooth landing. Everyone should not lose face. After all, the crew still had to shoot the movie, and they would see each other again in the future.
But at this critical moment, the props that went out to [purchase] came back panting.
Seeing Shen Lang, he excitedly said: "Teacher Shen, I took a flight and went to two markets. Do you think these things are suitable for you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Sang sneered.
The props man obviously felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere on the scene. He turned around and looked at the director and colleagues blankly.
They just looked embarrassed and remained silent.
Look at the group of actors again, some of them are here to watch the fun and are not afraid of trouble, their eyes are burning.
Some were afraid that things would get out of hand, so they looked at him with a reproachful expression.
She looked at the big box in his hands indifferently with her arms folded.
Looking at Shen Lang again, he slowly stood up and patted the young prop on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll ask the director to reimburse you for your expenses later! Double!"
Lu Yang: "..."
At this time, Shen Lang first looked at the long sword carried behind the prop. It was indeed a two-handed sword with a long handle. However, the whole sword did not reach the 1.4 meters required by Shen Lang, but was only about 1.2 meters.
It doesn't matter. These props will have to be customized in the future anyway. When making a movie, one has to strive for perfection. Just don't strive for perfection to the point of spending eight thousand dollars a piece.
Shen Lang then opened the box and saw a short knife and a goose-feather knife inside.
The little fat man's props are reliable!
The most eye-catching thing in the box was the snow-white Western sword. Shen Lang took it in his hand, felt it, and was quite satisfied.
"Teacher Shen, I asked my friend to borrow this from the national fencing team. I have to return it later!"
Prop said a little embarrassedly.
Shen Lang smiled and said, "No problem, borrow it for a while, I'll pay for it if it breaks!"
At this moment, Li Sang's sarcastic voice came over: "Oh, Teacher Shen is really planning to shoot "Zorro"!"
Shen Lang didn't even look at him, but said to the actors: "I don't have any apprentices to demonstrate for everyone, so I'll have to trouble you guys?"
The "several" naturally refers to Wang Qianyuan, Zhang Zheng and Li Dongxue, as well as the host Zhu Dan who plays Wei Zhongxian's adopted daughter.
Zhang Zheng and Zhu Dan were both actors that Shen Lang had found for Lu Yang through his connections, so they naturally would not offend Shen Lang. Wang Qianyuan and Li Dongxue were also brought into Shen Lang's crew by their own agencies with great effort, so they also stood up immediately.
"Teacher Shen, how can I cooperate?"
"Real swords and real guns, I have no experience before!"
"Do I need to wear a costume?"
……
Very enthusiastic!
Shen Lang smiled and said, "It's an audition, so let's all wear costumes! Something formal!"
"Ugh!"
"Okay!"
"Go change now and put on some makeup. Teacher Shen, sorry to have kept you waiting!"
……
Li Sang: “…………”
Damn, they are all human beings. Even though he looked arrogant just now, he didn't dare to put on airs and make these movie stars make a fuss over an audition.
But what about Shen Lang? These people are trying to get ahead...
Looking at the gentle and elegant Shen Lang who always had a smile on his face, Li Sang felt very uncomfortable: "Feel proud, you will find out in a while that being a martial arts director is not as easy as you think! The more proud you are now, the more embarrassed you will be in the near future."
Another half an hour passed and the actors were all ready.
Even the extras changed their clothes.
Everything was ready, and everyone looked at Shen Lang with curiosity to see how he would explain the play to Zhang Zheng and others.
Where is Shen Lang at this time?
"Master of martial arts!"
"start up!"
"Master all martial arts routines!"
"start up!"
Just after Shen Lang silently recited these two attribute terms in his mind, all kinds of martial arts routines instantly filled his mind like a tide.
He picked up a weapon at random, and the methods of using the weapon and the martial arts routines related to the weapon were all classified in his mind.
What he has to do is to combine these martial arts routines with the script to create action scenes that are both reasonable and pleasing to the eye.
Everyone gathered around Shen Lang and watched him pick up this weapon... and throw it down, then pick up another one... and throw it down too.
Even the swords and other weapons used by extras were picked up.
Seeing this, Li Sang turned around and sneered, "Isn't it a bit too late to start checking the weapons now?"
But just as he finished speaking, Shen Lang spoke to everyone.
However, his voice was so soft that Li Sang couldn't hear it at all. He was embarrassed to get closer to listen because of his face, so he could only be extremely curious in his heart but still show a look of disdain on his face.
At this time, Shen Lang also seemed to start showing off his action routines.
Unfortunately, the place he took the actors to was originally a corner, and with the addition of extras, it was surrounded tightly inside and outside, so people outside couldn't see at all.
This scene made everyone present even more curious.
Could it be that Shen Lang could really come up with something?
Moreover, the people surrounding Shen Lang seemed to be exclaiming in amazement from time to time after watching his demonstration, making everyone want to push through the crowd and get in to take a look.
After a while, Shen Lang clapped his hands and said, "Do you have an idea? Don't worry, take your time. If you can't do it in one go, I will give you on-site guidance!"
Zhang Zheng was the first to express his opinion: "Teacher Shen, I didn't expect that you even know martial arts! That's amazing."
Zhu Dan said: "Teacher Shen, I am convinced. A powerful person can be powerful in everything he does!"
Wang Qianyuan: “Awesome…”
Li Dongxue: “…”
Li Sang was a little panicked when he saw this scene, but he quickly sneered and said, "What a trick, a bunch of flatterers!"
But he seemed to have forgotten how he treated Shen Lang before.
At this time, Shen Lang said: "Let's start!"
The rain fell again, and Wei Zhongxian still stayed in the courtyard.
But this time, Shen Lian and others did not appear at the door, but climbed up to the roof with a ladder.
In the courtyard, Wei Ting, played by Zhu Dan, is leading the guards on patrol.
Lu Yang nodded when he saw this scene. Yes, assassination is more reasonable to kill important figures. Why didn't he think of this just now?
At this moment, a "lightning" suddenly flashed across the "sky", and the three people who were preparing to sneak into the heavily guarded inn quietly were exposed to Wei Ting by the shadows cast by the lightning.
The alert Wei Ting grabbed the guard's spear and threw it towards the roof. Immediately afterwards, a dozen spears shot towards him. Zhang Zheng had no choice but to roll into the yard!
The infiltration at the beginning turned into a sudden fight. This sudden change made everyone's nerves tense.
