Chapter 62 Did This Woman Do It On Purpose?I didn’t expect Du Sheng to reply so quickly. Liu Yifei's eyes immediately lit up, and she said with a smile: "The desert! I haven't been there yet. I really want to go and see it. By the way, the crew of "Tian Long" has finished filming! My scenes were finished the day before yesterday." Du Sheng made a surprised expression: "So soon? Don't you have a lot of scenes left?" “Yeah, but the shoot went really smoothly.” Seeing that her mother didn't care about her homework, Liu Yifei quietly typed: "But producer Zhang and director Zhou are arguing over post-production again. It feels really messy." Du Sheng shook his head, but was not surprised. If it were in his previous life, Zhang Zhizong would have excluded Zhou Yaowen from the crew and found an excuse to withhold his pay, and the two sides would have gone to court. However, here Zhang Zhizong was entangled in trivial matters and scandals, and everything changed a lot.
At the very least, although he was unhappy with Zhou Yaowen, he had to give up some rights in post-production. "cousin?" Seeing that Du Sheng did not reply, Liu Yifei sent another message to ask. Du Sheng knew that the girl was a little worried, so he sent a comforting expression back: “Don’t worry, the management has stepped in and they will take care of it. And you acted pretty well, so post-production didn’t have much of an impact on you.” Liu Yifei instantly became full of energy. After having this conversation, she felt like they were back on the set, filming without any restrictions. "Cousin! Wow, where is this?" Her tone was full of joy and anticipation, and she couldn't wait: "Sister Tao posted a set of beautiful desert scenes. They are so beautiful. I really want to visit the set!" Du Sheng: “…” Did this woman Liu Tao do this on purpose?! This is just trying to bring disaster upon oneself! When he thought of the scene where the two girls met and had a disagreement and looked at each other in disdain, he felt a little uneasy. “The desert has strong winds, scorching sun, dry air, and occasional sandstorms. Don’t be fooled by her. Believe it or not, when she finishes filming this drama, she will be dark, thin and limp when she returns——" Du Sheng remembered that they had occasional contact, so she deleted the last sentence and replaced it with one that sounded haggard and listless. "..." Liu Yifei replied with an ellipsis, and after a moment, sent a smiley face. "Is that so? You guys must have worked really hard." She sighed and said with some regret: "It's a pity that my mother forced me to go back to school, otherwise I would have attended your press conference the day before yesterday."
Du Sheng saw that this girl was quite reliable, so he responded with a head-patting emoji: "When I finish filming, if I apply for Beijing Film Academy, I will come to visit you when I have time." “That’s great! ^_^” Liu Yifei's mood brightened up again and she sent a smiley face: "Cousin, you must come to Beijing Film Academy. I am looking forward to becoming your senior sister!" Du Sheng smiled silently and glanced at the time: "It's too late. If you don't want to do your homework, go to bed, or your mother will scold you again." "Got it, cousin! ()" …… Time flies, and another half month has passed. On the "Dragon Goddess" side, since all the crew members are new, their bodies are not that fragile. Although the desert shooting environment is a bit difficult, but with the previous running-in, the shooting progress is still acceptable. Currently, the main parts such as the Desert Ridge, Breaking into the Shenyue Sect, and Broken Sword Cliff have been filmed. After Du Sheng finished filming the scene where she locked herself in a cemetery to repent for the guilt of killing the hero's brother, her role was almost complete. It's just missing a few scenes where he was seriously injured and on the verge of death while saving others. Even if it's the whole drama, there are only a few big scenes left, such as "the final showdown between good and evil" and "the internal fighting in Sifang City". These scenes basically focus on the male and female protagonists, as well as the main villains such as Ouyang Feiying and Bantianyue. According to the progress, it will take at least a week. Du Sheng can finally breathe a sigh of relief. That day, an unexpected phone call came in. "To be a martial arts director to save the day?" Du Sheng said with some surprise. "Yes, Won Bin had some trouble with the club after returning to Hong Kong, and is currently in the hospital for treatment." The person who called was Ju Jueliang, and his tone was not joking, he said seriously: "He had promised to be the action director for my senior's new play. After searching for a while and failing to find a replacement, he suggested that you..." The drama that Won Bin took on was called "Big Guy, Big Wisdom", directed by well-known directors Du Qifeng and Wei Jiahui from Milkyway Image. Du Sheng happened to have watched this drama in his previous life, and it ranked among the top five box office hits of the year. The figures of famous actors such as Liu Dehua and Zhang Baizhi instantly emerged in his mind. And if you don’t tell me, you wouldn’t know that Ju Jueliang is actually Du Qifeng’s junior fellow apprentice. Previously at Milkyway Image, he was specifically responsible for overall coordination and could be said to be Du Qifeng's right-hand man. It was only because of the decline of Hong Kong films that there were no more movies to shoot that they went their separate ways to pursue their future. The movie "Big Guy" is currently being filmed at the Yungang Grottoes in Tongcheng, Jin Prefecture in the mainland, and is about to shoot detective-related fighting action scenes. This is where the problem lies!
This film was originally scheduled to be released simultaneously in Hong Kong and the Mainland during the Spring Festival, as a hit film to open up the market, so King Liu and a new popular actress were invited to star in it. However, because some elements in the film may have been suspected of being a mystery to Feng Jian, and because the character played by Zhang Baizhi was suspected of being a Japanese soldier invading and killing, the plot direction was forced to change, which has been delayed for more than half a month. Now, because the producer is pushing for a rush, I have complaints about the progress of filming... The producer is Xiang Huaqiang, the boss of Oriental Star Entertainment, who is a big shot in Hong Kong. Du Qifeng didn't want to offend the financial sponsor, so he had to temporarily seek help from the martial arts director. However, capable action directors such as Yuan Gui have already joined the crew, the Yuan family has gone to Hollywood, and Cheng Xiaodong's asking price is too high... After searching around, I found that there was nothing suitable. Won Bin had no choice but to ask his senior brother Ma Lisheng to take action, but he was not used to the dark image style of Galaxy Image. Moreover, this time Du Qifeng wanted to make bold innovations in the action scenes, showing a different approach from the past, "using stillness to control movement". I don’t know if Ma Lansheng had some deviation in his thinking and failed to present it well, which resulted in another week being wasted. Du Qifeng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, because if he continued to wait, his funds would be wasted. In the end, Won Bin felt bad and remembered that he owed Du Sheng a favor, so he decided to introduce him to him. We want to shoot the action scenes that Du Qifeng wants in a short period of time, but we can’t find any at all at the moment. The action routines designed by Du Sheng previously left a deep impression on Yuan Bin, and he might be able to do it. But Du Sheng is currently filming "Snow Goddess Dragon" and he is needed as an action director. It is not known whether he has time at the moment. Du Qifeng needs to contact them himself. But this circle is not that big. After asking around, Du Qifeng didn't expect that Ju Jueliang also knew Du Sheng. This junior fellow student not only strongly recommended it, but also praised Du Sheng's innovative coaching ability. Du Qifeng finally became curious, asked a few questions, and simply asked Ju Jueliang to invite him to try it out. This led to today's call. (End of this chapter)
