Chapter 9: Just two words: After saying that line, Xu Kun seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden from his heart, and he didn't even notice that he had omitted the word "small" - of course, the person on the other side was indeed not small. He was so relaxed and happy that he seemed to have entered the sage time, and was so dazed that he didn't hear clearly what Wang Peng said. It was not until he heard a "CUT" from the big iron speaker that he suddenly came back to his senses. He quickly grabbed Baoqiang and asked, "Baoqiang, did I do anything wrong just now?" There was definitely nothing wrong with that line, but in the gap after he finished saying it, he himself didn't know what he was doing. Wang Baoqiang stopped taking off his coat, scratched his head and said, "Brother Kun, I'm behind you." So Xu Kun looked around and went to find Chen Xuebin again. “Great acting!” Chen Xuebin gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Although the lines were a little off, the way you stared at the second female lead later was really amazing - in two words: slutty!" He was now more and more certain that Xu Kun was a material that could be cultivated. Just from that dreamy look in his eyes, he overshadowed the noisy Wang Peng in front of him. uh~ This made Xu Kun at a loss for words for a moment, but what about 'the lines are not quite right'?
Previously, Wang Peng had praised his lines and emotions, so how come after he had strived for perfection, he was criticized for his mistakes? "The emotions are indeed full, much better than those of the average extras, but there are some problems with the pronunciation. The speech speed is too fast and the exhalation is too heavy, so it sounds a bit vague - it's not a big problem when we listen to it live, but it's easy to be disturbed by noise when recording." After Chen Xuebin finished his comments, he patted Xu Kun on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Brother, these minor problems will not prevent you from playing supporting roles, but if you want to go further in this line of work, you'd better try to correct them." Baoqiang is grateful for Chen Xuebin's support. Perhaps Baoqiang, who is willing to endure hardships and work hard, is also an important network resource in Chen Xuebin's eyes. Now that Chen Xuebin wants to recruit Xu Kun into his team, he naturally has to play the emotional card first. "Then how can I correct it?" While asking, Xu Kun subconsciously looked at Wang Baoqiang who was changing into women's clothes. Baoqiang was not just going to do a backflip and call it a day. In the following fight, some difficult or easily injured moves would require him to complete them on behalf of the second female lead. "Don't count on Baoqiang. Baoqiang has bigger problems in this regard, but he..." Chen Xuebin didn't finish his words, and said again: "If you have some spare money, you might as well sign up for an acting training class. Don't expect to learn anything fancy, but it will be a good deal if you can lay a solid foundation." Chen Xuebin would not say this to Baoqiang. After all, everyone could see that Baoqiang was short of money, and he felt that instead of improving himself in this area, Baoqiang might as well concentrate on becoming a martial arts director. As for Xu Kun, the mobile phone this kid used to make calls was not something that ordinary extras could afford. “It’s time to learn.” Xu Kun nodded seriously and decided to take Baoqiang to sign up for a training class. Since he was interested in the profession of actor, he would naturally not be stingy. He took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Xuebin, saying, "Brother Chen, do you have any recommendations..." "Extras, extras, come here!" At this time Wang Peng started shouting loudly again. Xu Kun stuffed the cigarette to Chen Xuebin, gave him a look that said they would talk later, and went over with Baoqiang. The subsequent shooting progress was obviously slowed down a lot, and NG retakes occurred frequently. The main reason is that Miss Xu has no foundation in martial arts. Moves like flying kicks, dodging, whipping and hitting people can only be completed by Bao Qiang. Naturally, she can't be fast with all the cutting and chopping. In fact, several extras wished that Baoqiang was the only one to play the role, because at least Wang Baoqiang could control the strength and would not use all his strength to be ruthless. Miss Xu was different. Although she reluctantly agreed to change the play, she was obviously furious. She didn't know how to restrain herself when she was performing the moves and was completely taking out her anger on the extras.
It’s a pity that Xu Kun was thinking about helping her vent her anger before. It’s okay if you have thick skin, but what if you get slapped? "CUT!" After the director called for cut again, Xu Kun got up from the ground, brushed off the annoying grass leaves on the back of his neck, and felt as if his whole body was covered with starch. In order to create the feeling of a dozen people besieging the second female lead, the four extras fell to the ground more than five times each, and Xu Kun, the second in command, lay down eight times. The big boss Wang Peng was better. Although there were a few whip marks on his face, they were painted on with oil paint. In fact, Baoqiang only whipped him a few times in front of his eyes. In terms of boxing and kicking skills, Xu Kun would definitely beat Wang Baoqiang because of his strong body. But when it comes to using weapons for tricks, he is far inferior to Wang Baoqiang. "Xiao Xu, come here for a moment." At this time, Wang Peng, who was talking to the second female lead, waved to Xu Kun from a distance. He still valued people with real kung fu and had specially asked Xu Kun's name before. Xu Kun hurried over and said, "Uncle Wang, Miss Xu." To this day, he still doesn't know what Miss Xu's name is. "Come on, let's practice some moves with Miss Xu." Wang Peng said, reminding them again: "We are all here to perform well, so we can't act recklessly with extra emotions." Some extras had previously complained that the second female lead was too cruel, and it was not the first time that Wang Peng had reminded them of this, but Miss Xu obviously did not take it to heart. I guess in her opinion, they were just a few small extras, so what could be done if they were beaten? Faced with her nonchalant attitude, Wang Peng didn't know what to say and could only step back to let Xu Kun fight with her. Miss Xu's eyes were wide open and her teeth were clenched. Although what she was really angry about was actually something that happened in reality, it fits the character perfectly and looks more real than when she had a cold face. But the slap she gave me was real! Seeing that the girl not only did not restrain herself at all, but instead made an obvious move to gather strength, Xu Kun's face immediately darkened. Immediately, he raised his sword-like eyebrows high, and his slightly yellow pupils like a venomous snake trembled slightly in the cold whites of his eyes, as if he was going to bite Miss Xu's throat with his black fangs in the next second! This sudden change caused Miss Xu's hand, which was about to be swung out, to freeze in mid-air. She took two steps back unconsciously, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. "what happened?" Although Wang Peng vaguely felt that Xu Kun's aura had changed, he was from the side after all and did not meet Xu Kun's gaze, so his reaction to the second female lead was very puzzled. Miss Xu pointed at Xu Kun in shock and accused him in a trembling voice: "He, he looked so fierce just now, as if he wanted to kill someone!" "Ok?" Wang Peng looked at Xu Kun in confusion, while Xu Kun, who had already stopped rolling his eyes, shrugged his shoulders and acted as if it was none of his business. Wang Peng is an old hand after all, and he guessed that Xu Kun might have done something, but wasn’t this all done by the second female lead herself? So he decisively chose to take sides: "My Miss Xu, he is playing a bandit who kills people and robs people. His fierce eyes prove that he played the role correctly - come on, come on, get familiar with it quickly, and we will try to pass it in one take when we shoot!" Miss Xu thought about it and it made sense. Although her heart was still pounding, she couldn't complain and could only bite the bullet and go back to Xu Kun. However, with a lingering fear in her heart, she didn't dare to gather her strength this time. The slap that landed on Xu Kun's face was more like a touch than a hit. "Ouch~" Xu Kun screamed exaggeratedly, covering his face and tilting his body to one side, protruding his lower abdomen to a just right position, causing Miss Xu to kick him subconsciously. As soon as the tip of her toes touched the clothes, Xu Kun flew backwards and lay on the ground with her arms and legs spread out. Miss Xu stepped forward and pretended to step on him, and Xu Kun raised his hand and pretended to swing her away fiercely.
Under the threat of invisible lime, Miss Xu immediately pulled back. "stop!" Wang Peng called for a stop at the right time, and wanted to give Miss Xu some advice, asking her to be more hasty in her final backward movement, and not to be so slow. But when she thought about the fact that Xu Kun would throw out a handful of talcum powder during the official shooting, and considering the girl's clean nature, she would definitely try to avoid it as much as possible, she didn't say anything more. Only some minor adjustments were made to some of Miss Xu and Xu Kun's movements to better suit the camera shooting. Because she was still frightened, when the filming officially started, Ms. Xu did not dare to use any force, only a little harder than touching her face. "CUT!" Seeing Xu Kun throwing out the talcum powder, the second female lead quickly retreated. The old perverted director Sun couldn't wait to call for a stop, and then repeatedly urged: "Everyone else stay where you are, don't move, the second female lead quickly change into your costume!" It was nearly 11 o'clock at this time, and the extras were as exhausted as chickens and dogs under the sun, but they were not annoyed by the order. Instead, they looked as energetic as if they had eaten ice cream in the hottest days of summer. They said they were not allowed to move, but in fact, when Miss Xu came out after changing her clothes, several extras all moved behind Xu Kun at the same time, at least to the same level as him. Because next, it will be the bandit leader's turn to cut the female bodyguard's clothes. (End of this chapter)
