Chapter 256 Appearance in front of others
"By the way, can I try the light body technique in reality first? Then you can tell me how to modify it."
Du Ruo thought about it and realized that he was good at watching movies but had no idea about making movies, so he said something to Wu Jing first.
"OK!!"
Wu Jing walked towards the director's seat and heard Du Ruo talking to her mother first. She made a gesture that would make Korean men indignant, and then looked forward to Du Ruo's performance.
Under the gaze of everyone present, Du Ruo moved his body, bent his knees slightly, and then without any big movement, his whole body rushed out.
What does Qinggong look like in the movies? It is to open your arms, tap your feet in the air, and then move your body forward in a very graceful manner.
The reason why you need to open your arms is that you need to open your arms to better maintain balance when hanging by the wire. The reason why you need to kick your legs continuously is that the moving speed of the wire hanging machine is limited, and you will look stupid if you don’t swing your legs.
But in fact, no one has ever seen what the real light body technique looks like, and now it seems that Du Ruo is about to show it.
It didn't look good at the beginning, and there was no sense of elegance, but with a step forward of Du Ruo's legs, he appeared at the edge of the bungalow, and then pushed hard under the eaves with his feet.
Du Ruo "whooshed" across three bungalows like a cannonball, covering the distance of forty or fifty meters in the blink of an eye. Even the onlookers on the roof could not see whether Du Ruo had his feet on the ground.
"Huh? What about people?"
Wu Jing, who was sitting in front of the director's monitor, saw Du Ruo disappear from the screen in an instant. He blinked and looked in disbelief at the place where Du Ruo had stood before, only to find that the person was gone. Then he lowered his head again and began to check the images in other cameras.
As a result, several cameras failed to capture the figure completely. Only the farthest camera captured the whole thing, but only a shadow was seen moving from far to near, and the whole process took only four or five seconds.
"It's going too fast. The close-up camera can't keep up. We can only use the long-distance camera to watch it. Slow down the camera and watch it with slow motion!"
The staff nearby hurried forward to adjust the camera speed, and ended up setting it to the highest slow motion of ten times. In the picture, Du Ruo's figure crossed a distance of forty or fifty meters in just a few takes and falls.
The body was almost moving horizontally, with each step covering a distance of nearly ten meters. Only the clothes outlined the muscles of the body.
"..."
Seeing this scene, everyone in front of the camera fell silent, with only the sound of swallowing saliva. Even the extras watching in the distance fell silent for a short time, and Wu Jing's mouth twitched.
"How is it? Is this appearance okay?"
At this time, Du Ruo had already run far away, then turned around and ran back.
"Ahem, well, Master Du, I know you just demonstrated a real-life light-body technique, but this is a movie, so it requires a certain level of expression. Do you understand what I mean?"
Wu Jing tried his best to keep his voice lower. At this moment, he was already doubting whether the martial arts he had practiced for so long were authentic. Or, in other words, they were all practicing martial arts, but Du Ruo was cultivating immortality?
"I understand. I just tried it. Just tell me how to change it."
Du Ruo nodded. He had just discovered that the rotation speed of the fixed camera could not keep up with his speed. He would definitely have to lower the speed, but he was not sure what else would happen.
"Come, let's take a look at the effect of the filming just now."
Wu Jing threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind and decided to think about work first during working hours. He stood up from his seat and showed Du Ruo the footage from the surveillance camera. While watching, he also talked about some reference plans.
"Master Du, if you don't slow down and move too fast, you won't be able to bring this character up to par.
But if you slow it down, the viewing quality is still much worse. Do you think we should consider the aesthetics of the shot?"
Wu Jing swore that he had never been so gentle even when he was coaxing his wife.
"Okay, I understand. Anything else?"
Du Ruo nodded and accepted the suggestion humbly. At the same time, he was thinking about how to perform it. Martial arts is all about efficiency, whether it is fighting or performing light body skills. There is visual impact, but the aesthetics are far from satisfactory, at least it is not in line with the role positioning.
"Also..."
Wu Jing explained to Du Ruo in a low voice, but the discussions around them were getting louder and louder.
Of course, these people weren't shouting, they were just talking a lot at the same time, which made the sound seem a little loud.
As for the content, you know it without thinking, but now everyone is in shock, and there is no way to make the onlookers quiet down.
The reason why Du Ruo did not cover it up was that he no longer cared. When a large crew came in, they would collect mobile phones, and those celebrities subconsciously abided by the confidentiality agreement, so no video would be leaked.
As for what they say online, I don't care. I guess no one will believe it even if they post it online. Now the Internet is full of speculation about Du Ruo, but because of the relationship between Du Ruo and the official, even those unscrupulous media dare not hype Du Ruo.
So the crew’s affairs actually could not be spread out.
Wu Jing has been giving Du Ruo suggestions, and Du Ruo has been listening carefully and nodding frequently. It's nothing more than making it a little more fancy. Although this is difficult, it is not impossible to do.
Soon Du Ruo's second shooting began. When everyone saw that Du Ruo seemed to be about to start shooting again, the scene became quiet again and everyone looked at Du Ruo intently.
This time, Du Ruo deliberately slowed down his sprint speed, and the span between lifting and jumping was not so large. He even added some turns in the middle, and put one hand behind his back during the charge. Anyway, he began to get closer to those masters in his impression. It's true that with these movements, the overall feeling is much better.
The most important thing is that Du Ruo's movements are smooth and flowing, which are much more natural than those shot while suspended by wires.
"Pah pah pah~~Okay, Master Du, come and see the effect."
After Du Ruo finished, Wu Jing led the applause, then gave up his seat and let Du Ruo go to see the shooting results.
"Tsk, it seems a little off. How about we change it?"
"Okay, then..."
……
Of course, filming cannot be completed in one go. In order to make Du Ruo's appearance more eye-catching, Wu Jing doesn't care about delaying the filming progress. As long as Du Ruo doesn't mind the trouble, he doesn't mind the delay at all.
After several revisions, some props were finally added, such as adding some trees in front of the bungalow door, so that Du Ruo could use the branches to gain leverage. Anyway, they just shot the scene in any way that could show the style.
Du Ruo became more and more skilled. After finalizing the final plan, they shot it several more times before they captured Du Ruo's appearance perfectly.
"OK, we're done. Master Du, you take a break first. We'll start shooting the next scene soon. Let's work harder today and finish our scenes in one go."
Wu Jing kept watching it many times, with the smile on his face never stopping, and shouted loudly.
"Hubby, drink some water~ You've worked so hard~"
When Xiang Yuanyuan saw Du Ruo coming back, she hurriedly handed over the water in her hand and looked at Du Ruo with stars in her eyes.
She thought that Du Ruo's appearance just now was so handsome, graceful and agile, and his expressionless face seemed very cool, revealing his master's demeanor.
"It's not that hard. It's just two trips. It's easy."
Du Ruo smiled at Xiang Yuanyuan, and the coldness on his face completely disappeared. However, he did not chat with Xiang Yuanyuan for long, as there was a fight scene later, and he needed to go to Wu Jing to listen to him talk about the scene.
He is a professional at beating people, but one has to admit that Wu Jing is a professional at how to beat people well.
Du Ruo can perform any moves he wants, and he is also proficient in all kinds of kung fu and weapons, while Wu Jing can design all kinds of gorgeous performance routines. When the two are combined, it is difficult to shoot a scene that is not gorgeous.
As long as Wu Jing dared to design it, he dared to perform it, so the fighting scenes that followed were really exciting.
If a dozen people with guns had not suddenly appeared and opened fire on Du Ruo, I believe no one would have thought that the protagonist could kill the character played by Du Ruo.
"Okay! It's time to call it a day. Thank you for your hard work, Master Du."
It was already past two in the morning, but Wu Jing still looked very energetic. After looking at the footage, he shouted loudly.
"It's not hard, it's fun. If nothing else, we'll go back first."
Du Ruo smiled and didn't care much. However, he saw Xiang Yuanyuan yawning frequently. He thought he had already had enough fun, so he had no plans to stay any longer.
"Wait a moment, the proper ceremony must be followed."
However, Wu Jing stopped Du Ruo and did not let her leave. As he spoke, some staff members came out from the side. Surprisingly, the second male lead Ajun and the female lead Xiao Xie also came out.
"Congratulations on the completion~~"
Xiao Xie was holding a bouquet of flowers and handed it to Du Ruo.
"Come on, let's take a photo together. The boss lady can come along, so it can be a souvenir."
Ajun called everyone over and asked Xiang Yuanyuan to stand next to Du Ruo to take photos together.
Some staff also took out firework tubes, and everyone smiled brightly, which can be said to have maximized the emotional value.
It didn't take too much time. After taking some photos, everyone went about their own business. We had to clean up the site before leaving.
"Master Du, this is today's reward. You've worked hard today. I have something else to do here. You can go back in my nanny car first."
Wu Jing sent Du Ruo out of the shooting scene, took out a red envelope from his arms and handed it to Du Ruo.
"Okay, then I won't be polite. By the way, I should leave tomorrow afternoon. Since you are so busy, we won't bother you any more. We can drink together after the movie becomes a big hit."
Du Ruo took the red envelope, which was light and obviously contained a check. However, he took it generously, bowed to Wu Jing, and got into the nanny car nearby.
