Chapter 168: Taste the sweetness?
Xu Kun, who was far away in Hengdian, certainly didn't know about Jiang Yiyan's mental journey in the crew of "The Seven Fairies" - "Happiness" was filmed in Jiangxi.
Due to the tight schedule and heavy workload, the crew arrived in Hengdian on September 9th and officially started filming on the 14th.
Moreover, they had to work non-stop from the beginning, shooting for at least 15 hours every day. The male lead Xu Kun basically accounted for four-fifths of the plot, so he was naturally the most tired one.
As we all know, Zhu Bian is the most flexible, so after taking the time to understand Xu Kun's situation, he added some scenes of him revealing his true colors - mainly in the early period, when Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk and a soldier, and later when he became a general and emperor, so he certainly could not reveal his true colors anymore.
Xu Kun also 'returned the favor' by presenting to Zhu the summary of the online reports about the sudden death of Zhu Yuanzhang's entire family.
So after the beginning of the TV series, which describes Zhu Yuanzhang playing with his friends but suddenly hears that his parents starved to death, there was an additional narration and a death relationship diagram.
The picture lists in detail the Zhu family relatives who died under the harsh rule at the end of the Yuan Dynasty [see the video of B station UP host Qingchuan Yihe for details]. The avatars that faded one by one with the narration vividly show the sufferings of the chaotic world at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the helplessness and despair of Zhu Yuanzhang as a teenager.
After seeing the finished film, Feng Xiaoning praised Xu Kun's idea. He was originally worried about how to show the tragic scene of no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, but when this death relationship diagram came out, it was more straightforward and shocking than any other camera language.
This afternoon.
The crew filmed an important literary scene in the premise, which is also the scene where Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying officially fall in love.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang joined the rebel army and made many contributions. Although he was appreciated by Guo Zixing, he was also suspected by the father and son. He was put in solitary confinement by Guo Zixing for a minor mistake.
However, Guo Zixing's son Guo Tianshou secretly instructed the soldiers not to give Zhu Yuanzhang food, and forbade others to bring food to Zhu Yuanzhang.
In order to bring him food, Ma Xiuying put the freshly baked pancake in her arms and presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang [Xu Kun] was overjoyed when he took the pancake. He opened his mouth and took a big bite, but was so burned that he blew a breath - it was actually cold when Ning Jing took it out of his arms, but Xu Kun tried it once and felt it was not real enough, so he asked the director to replace it with one that had just come out of the pan when cutting the shot.
"Hiss... this, ha... this freshly-made pancake has been in your arms for such a long journey. Is it not burned?"
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang [Xu Kun] first glanced down, and when he saw Ma Xiuying [Ning Jing] dodge, he subconsciously reached out to pull her collar.
However, after grabbing the collar, he did not open it, but frowned and pondered.
"Click~"
Feng Xiaoning called a halt at the right time, walked over and asked, "Kun'er, do you feel that something is not right?"
Xu Kun nodded: "I think it's a bit too much."
Ning Jing also straightened his clothes and said, "Although Zhu Yuanzhang was born in the countryside, this is too wild."
"This paragraph was originally copied from unofficial history."
Zhu Sujin followed and said disapprovingly: "If you feel it's wrong, just delete the part about the clothes being torn off."
This clothes-lifting scene was picked up by Zhu from unofficial history. Ever since he learned how to find jokes on the Internet from Xu Kun, he has become more and more free.
But our editor Zhu is actually quite generous and has no psychological barriers to changing the script, and Feng Xiaoning himself is relatively rigorous, so in the end there are not many out-of-the-ordinary things in this "Zhu Yuanzhang".
As for the later "New Three Kingdoms", it can only be said that there must be a phoenix chick beside the sleeping dragon.
In the re-enactment, Xu Kun deleted the action of reaching out to check, and just stared at Ning Jing with shining eyes, as if he was looking at the most perfect treasure in the world.
After practicing since the end of 02 until now, he has finally mastered the resolute look in his eyes and can even add some slight variations to it.
Feng Xiaoning was quite satisfied with the performance of this scene, especially the subtle yet bold interaction between the two sides, which almost perfectly captured what he had imagined.
Looking at the sky, Feng Xiaoning said, "You two should go back to the hotel and rest first. After we finish filming the scenes with Guo Zixing and Guo Tianshou, we won't be filming the night scenes."
Although Feng Xiaoning was eager to meet the deadline, the crew was already overwhelmed after working non-stop for five or six days.
At least it can give people a break at night.
Ning Jing felt as if he had been pardoned. He pounded his aching waist and walked out while saying, "Then I have to get a good night's sleep today. Kun'er, you... eh?"
Halfway through her speech, she noticed that Xu Kun had not moved, and she could not help but look at him in confusion. "I invited Teacher Li Fazeng to be a guest star."
Xu Kun explained, "I didn't have time to do this before, but now that I finally have some free time, I have to have a drink with Teacher Li."
"Then let's have a drink when we have time."
Ning Jing replied with a smile and went back to the hotel on his own.
Xu Kun watched her figure disappear around the corner, smacked his lips, and followed the crew to the filming site next door.
Xu Kun had been so busy these past few days that he hadn't paid much attention to it, but Ning Jing's words just now clearly had a hint of flirting.
Considering that her marriage to her husband Paul was in name only, it was not surprising that she wanted to take advantage of me.
But does she want to have a sister-brother relationship with me, or is she after the couple in the crew?
If it was the latter, Xu Kun would naturally agree with it wholeheartedly, but if it was the former...
Although he still remembered 'Milan' clearly, he really had no plans to fall in love with Ning Jing.
Ning Jing is the kind of person who has a strong desire for control, and Xu is also a kind of gigolo. If the two of them really confirm their relationship, who knows what will happen.
It seems that I have to find an opportunity to find out Ning Jing's bottom line before deciding how to deal with it.
Keeping this in mind, Xu Kun approached Li Fazeng and said with a smile, "Godfather, the crew is rarely free, shall we go for a drink tonight?"
The actor who was supposed to play Guo Zixing could not come due to schedule issues, so Xu Kun temporarily recommended Li Fazeng. With the old man's acting skills, it was natural for him to play the role of Guo Zixing.
"Don't go."
Li Fazeng glanced at him and said, "I am old and weak, and I can't stand the tossing and turning like you young people. I need to have a good rest at night."
This……
How about inviting Ning Jing for a drink yourself?
Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. At least confirm her thoughts first. Don't be careless and lose yourself.
Although Teacher Li declined the invitation, Xu Kun still watched his performance and then left.
They are all famous scenes. The first scene shows Guo Tianshou taking out a jar of good wine - Lao Baigan, which had just been seized from the Hebei government troops, in order to please his father.
He also said that a lot of wine was seized and two carts would be sent to Marshal Xu in Bozhou City.
The second scene is when Guo Tianshou tries to make a move on his sister, which makes Guo Zixing furious. He says, "Bullshit, do you call that love? You're just lusting after her body, you're a slut!"
In fact, the reason why Ning Jing's version is more reasonable than Ju Xue's version is that Ju Xue looks like she is ten years older than Hu Jun, who was born in the same year; and it is natural that Ning Jing's version, with its curvy figure, would arouse Guo Tianshou's drooling.
As the sun was setting, Xu Kun was about to return to the hotel with the crew, but suddenly he received a call from Hu Ge, who said that he knew Xu Kun was filming in Hengdian and had come specially to play host.
Xu Kun had originally planned to go out and relax, and since Hu Ge came to him on his own initiative, he naturally would not refuse.
So he borrowed a van from the crew and went to the address indicated by Hu Ge. When he arrived there, he found that in addition to Hu Ge, Cai Yinong and her assistant were also there.
What does this mean?
Xu Kun looked at Hu Ge in confusion, and Hu Ge responded with an apologetic and embarrassed expression. He didn't want to fool Xu Kun, but when he made the call just now, Cai Yinong was watching him, so he could only say what Cai Yinong wanted.
Xu Kun realized from Hu Ge's expression that it was actually Cai Yinong who was looking for him this time, and then he became even more confused.
Logically speaking, after what happened last time, this woman should hate me to the core. Then why did she suddenly invite me to dinner in the name of Hu Ge today?
It can't be that he has tasted the sweetness of it, right?
