After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn - Chapter 285

[Chapter 284]

Counting his two lifetimes, Tao Mu was in Africa for the first time. There are not many traces of modernization on the vast grassland, and the setting sun is crumbling in the sky, reflecting half of the sky and the surrounding fields into an orange-red color. On the big tree in the distance, you can also see the leopard coiled on the branch. Looking far into the distance, I feel more and more open-minded.

The filming location of the crew was in an abandoned factory. The props team, the lighting team and the camera team set up the shooting scene. Tao Mu, who had already done the modeling, pulled the stuntman who was going to play against him later to feed him, and carefully thought about the scene to be shot later. Cheng Baodong rolled the script into a barrel, walked to Tao Mu’s side, pulled Tao Mu to sit on the prop box, and told Tao Mu the drama with a serious face.

“The Sword of the King of Soldiers” tells the story of the first time several special forces in the TV series “The King of Soldiers” went abroad for a mission. Although in the entire script, the only elements related to “The King of Soldiers” are the names of the male protagonist and a few supporting characters, but as long as the movie is released under the banner of “The King of Soldiers”, there will inevitably be good people who will put the two works together. Compare. Cheng Baodong wants face, of course I don’t want someone to say that the TV version is better than the film version. What’s more, the cost of the film has exceeded 100 million. There are very few movies with such huge investment in China. Cheng Baodong also didn’t want to be criticized as a director who was not worthy of this resource and could not control such a huge crew after the film came out. So this time to direct the film, Cheng Baodong is also ready to use his best efforts.

Not to mention Cheng Baodong’s character and temperament, in terms of purely business ability, Cheng Baodong is definitely one of the best commercial film directors in the domestic entertainment circle. Tao Mu also benefited a lot from the fact that he could seriously teach Tao Mu a play.

Because the later part of the scene involves the demolition plot, the demolition team kept testing on the side. The explosion sounded one after another. Cheng Baodong, who was talking to Tao Mu, suddenly sighed with emotion: “I just like to make commercial films. Many people think that the films I make have no connotations. In fact, what connotations do commercial films need, it’s enough to be cool.”

Cheng Baodong said that he likes to watch blasting scenes as a child. In the past, when I watched Hollywood blockbusters, it was a group of foreigners who played heroes. The adrenaline stimulated by all kinds of blasting scenes is not necessary. There are also Xiangcheng movies, and various shooting scenes are also very eye-catching. On the other hand, in mainland films, they either bind their feet or engage in some kind of scarred literature. The actors, regardless of gender, always speak a dirty dialect. Just bored.

Cheng Baodong said this, and asked Tao Mu again: “What about you? Do you prefer to shoot commercial films or literary films?”

Tao Mu glanced at Cheng Baodong and said, “As long as the book is good, I like it. But relatively speaking, I still prefer I like faster-paced ones.”

“That’s right!” Cheng Baodong nodded: “I think your current path is very good. In fact, young people with good acting skills should act more in commercial films. Some young people are obviously talented. But he plunged into literary films and dramas and couldn’t get out. He also felt that he was very high. When he didn’t receive dramas in the future, he should regret it. Actors are not divided into men and women, and the prime time is only a few years, if it is wasted, In the future, if you want to make up for it, you can’t find it. Good resources also need popularity. Otherwise, why did the producers and investors choose you as the male lead?”

Cheng Baodong felt that Jingying’s current employment direction is a little off. Obviously, the students’ acting skills are not bad, and their looks are also passable. Just because they are too focused on acting and focusing on literary films, they are not as good as Yan Ying’s second-class students after graduation. Especially some female students. Cheng Baodong felt pity to see it.

Fortunately, the situation was much better after Tao Mu entered the school. A “Great Wall of Flesh” and a “Fashion” made many Jingying sophomores and juniors familiar with the audience in front of the audience, and the resources gradually improved. This is actually a good thing. Acting is a practical work. Actors can only polish their acting skills better if they practice more in front of the camera. It’s no use working behind closed doors. After a long time, I can’t get used to it even in front of the camera. So don’t look at the fact that there are only twenty or thirty students graduating from Jingying every year.

Tao Mu listened to Cheng Baodong’s rambling words, and knew that Cheng Baodong wanted to make a good gesture, but he was still a little embarrassed, and smiled in his heart.

At one point there was a note saying that the set was already set up. The demolition crew and the stuntman tested it several times without any problem. Let Tao Mu himself go and get acquainted with the position.

Tao Mu got up, followed the record and walked into the set, took the submachine gun handed over by the props team, the demolitionist and the martial arts teacher surrounded Tao Mu, and told him about the movement and movements later.

This scene is about the details of the hero played by Tao Mu and several other special forces infiltrating the enemy base camp and rescuing the hostages. There are not many lines, mainly playing. Various gunfights and blasting shots. Playing against Tao Mu were several strong foreign men who were two meters tall. His chest muscles were bulging, and his arms could be as thick as Tao Mu’s thighs. The visual contrast is particularly striking. Therefore, Cheng Baodong asked that the fighting scenes in the future must highlight the smooth fighting of the special forces and one-shot kills. Tao Mu’s movements are required to be vigorous, and must not be soft.

“If you really can’t do it, then you really fight. It’s like the flesh!” Cheng Baodong said seriously, looking at Tao Mu’s slender figure compared to the martial arts actors.

Although Tao Mu was also born in Wutai, the stuntmen recruited by the crew were all boxers. In Cheng Baodong’s opinion, compared to these stunt performers, Tao Mu’s skills are nothing short of pretentious. So he asked Tao Mu to really fight while filming. This is for the pursuit of shooting effects.

Tao Mu frowned slightly.

“Don’t worry, our crew members have signed confidentiality contracts.” Cheng Baodong glanced at Tao Mu and added. I was afraid that Tao Mu would not really fight because of his image. After all, this kid has a lot of heart, and the two of them still have grudges. In case Tao Mu secretly figured out that he wanted to take this opportunity to smear Tao Mu, and under the banner of pursuing the shooting effect, he signaled Tao Mu to fight, and later found someone to reveal that Tao Mu was playing big names on the set to bully the stunt performer. Such concerns are inevitable.

Cheng Baodong felt that he really wanted the shooting effect to be good, so he was not afraid to tell Tao Mu what he said: “Isn’t the camera crew recording the footage? This is also evidence.”

This sentence made the noisy studio suddenly quiet. . Everyone looked over in unison.

The stuntman standing next to him is not so good in Chinese, and his face is inexplicable.

Tao Mu was slightly taken aback. He didn’t expect Cheng Baodong to say that. I hadn’t thought of this just now, I just thought that if he really fought, he could resist a few tricks of the stuntman. Being reminded by Cheng Baodong, he came to understand. It turned out that Cheng Baodong meant to let him really fight, and let the stuntman pull back.

“Since it’s for the purpose of filming, then it’s all real. Otherwise, in the camera, there must be a difference.” Tao Mu was quite confident in his fighting skills. After all, he has been living in the alley since he was a child. After that, I trained in the army for so long, and I also trained with the special forces for several months. The physical quality is there, even if it can’t compare to boxing, it won’t be much worse.

After all, the stunt actor in front of him is only punching, not black boxing.

Tao Mu knew that the reason why Cheng Baodong gave such an order was that on the one hand, he was not confident in his martial arts skills, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the stuntman would hurt him, so he could not explain it to the Li family, and it also delayed the filming of the movie. But everyone is for the filming, if there are too many scruples, the filming will not be possible.

Tao Mu looked at the special actor, patted the other party’s shoulder, and said in English, “You are really fighting.”

Cheng Baodong’s face changed: “Isn’t it necessary?”

“It’s okay!” Tao Mu waved his hand calmly: “Let’s try one first.”

Cheng Baodong didn’t look very good, but he also waved his hand. Five sets of cameras are ready and the lights are ready. The field recorder held the field record card and played the next board in front of the camera. Shot No. 1 advanced slowly, Tao Mu hid behind the pillar cover with a pistol, panting slightly, and heard various gunshots in his ears.

Tao Mu held a pistol and kept counterattacking under the cover of the bunker. After firing a few shots, he rolled quickly and rushed into the door. This action alone made Cheng Baodong’s eyes light up. For the time being, regardless of the accuracy of Tao Mu’s several shots, the appearance of the action alone can be regarded as a standard textbook.

Unlike many Xiangcheng shootout films, the male protagonists have endless bullets. After Tao Mu changed the magazine twice with one hand, the submachine gun soon ran out of bullets. Tao Mu faced off against the thug played by the stuntman, and a fist-to-meat fight followed. Tao Mu pushed down the stuntman’s arm with his backhand, and a cross pinned the stuntman’s neck. The other hand of the stuntman clenched into a fist and slammed into Tao Mu’s right leg. But he was kicked in the chin by the actor played by Tao Mu and fainted.

“Ka!” Cheng Baodong saw Ka in time, and reluctantly looked away from the monitor to look at Tao Mu on the set. He found that Tao Mu was able to become so popular in just two or three years, and it was not without reason.

Not to mention the fighting scenes are too beautiful, the most important thing is that the performance in front of the camera is too amazing. In fact, the real fighting nirvana is far less beautiful than the movie shows. Many actions need to be entangled together, and the scene is not only embarrassing, but also slightly embarrassing. However, Tao Mu has a kind of dazzling talent in this regard. Even an outsider like Cross Solid can look so embarrassed and pleasing to the eye. And there is a strong evil spirit in every gesture, like a vigorous leopard hunting. Even in the messy studio, Cheng Baodong can feel a strong visual shock, not to mention the effect of the film after editing.

It is precisely because of this that Cheng Baodong asked, “Are you alright?”

Tao Mu’s face turned blue, he let go of the stuntman and rubbed his calf. He just asked the stuntman to really play, and the stuntman is quite real. It hurt him a few times. Tao Mu felt that his calf must be blue.

However, the X that I had installed, even if I was kneeling, I had to finish it. What’s more, Tao Mu, whose idol burden weighs a ton, can’t kneel. He just waved his hand lightly, saying that he was fine. Cheng Baodong is also a real person. Seeing Tao Mu’s face is normal, he believes it to be true. So I greeted the crew to continue filming the following scenes—all fight scenes.

Tao Mu: “…”
