    "I'm so tired today. I finally started shooting my war scene. The Changbanpo scene was really difficult to shoot! Wearing a cape, holding a spear, and riding a white horse. Fortunately, I have practiced it, and I have also practiced equestrian and marksmanship.  Otherwise, it will definitely be NG! " "It was a very close call. It was a very close call today. I almost lost the prize. A stray arrow shot directly into my forehead. At the critical moment, the prop gun in my hand managed to deflect it.  The ancient battlefield was so dangerous! I can¡¯t imagine how scary it would be to see arrows flying at any time! No wonder the generals in ancient times all died young. I¡¯m afraid they dreamed of arrows flying all over the sky, right?  "Oh my God, war scenes are so difficult to shoot! The scenes are chaotic, the progress is horribly slow, something always goes wrong, and I have to do it over again, and my patience is worn out!"?¡­  The crew, Brother Xiaosha has been working hard for more than a month, but what is the achievement of this month?  It's very simple. He is still fighting hard in Cao's army, and he hasn't even seen Mrs. Gan yet. If he continues at this pace, he will probably have to shoot this scene for three or four months (in reality, Hu Jun is  The photoshoot took more than half a year from the beginning of summer to winter).  To be honest, there is nothing wrong with his performance. Whether it is a martial arts drama or a literary drama with dialogues, he almost never made Wu Yusen worry too much. He performed very well after a few times at most.  After all, this is just a commercial film, not a literary film that digs into the characters¡¯ inner dramas. As long as the plot is smooth and the action scenes are performed well, the director will not be too demanding and pursue too much.  However, the problem is that Changbanpo¡¯s war drama is an ensemble drama!  This is not a fight between two martial arts masters.  Then you come and I go.  It's easy to do.  Zhao Yun, played by Tang Xiaosha, is no problem.  But other actors, even the extras who play Cao Bing, often make mistakes.  Either there are some minor actors who are laughing, or there are minor supporting actors who make mistakes in their performances, and there are even dangerous scenes.  For example, if the dragon rider stabs Zhao Yun with a spear, Zhao Yun will sweep them all away with the spear in his hand, then lie down on his horse and let the horse under his crotch carry him to safety.  Then he made a sweeping sweep with his spear, sweeping down all the soldiers who came up to attack the horses. Then a Cao general flew up on horseback and was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun.  This is how the director talks about the play. It seems very simple, but in fact it is not easy at all to actually do it.  Because Yuan Kui, the action director of the movie, also has to teach everyone how to do each action, and at the same time, those who should use wires must use wires. For example, if the actor is shot away by Zhao Yun, they must use wires, and then be shot.  As soon as his spear touched.  They all had to spit out the ketchup in their mouths, and at the same time, their whole bodies were dragged upside down by Wia.  This is not the most difficult thing.  What really bothered people was that when Zhao Yun was charging to kill, there were dead bodies played by extras lying everywhere on the ground!  If the horse's hoof accidentally steps on anyone, it will be a big problem, at least it will cause a broken bone.  With these factors in mind, the shooting progress here is naturally slow. It is like squeezing out toothpaste. At the slowest time, I only shot two or three shots a week. The rest of the time, I was constantly shooting.  Director Wu Yusen's hair turned gray.  There is no way, there are so many people in the crew!  People eat what horses chew. Every day of delay will cost hundreds of thousands of yuan more. This price is really too high. Can a director not be in a hurry?  With no other choice, Wu Yusen could only order separate shooting, divide the whole drama into several parts, and hand over all the less important literary dramas to a few assistant directors, while he personally watched the big drama of Changbanpo.  , even if it was made by grinding, he was determined to grind it out.  It was also at this time that he was glad that his choice was right, because as one of the absolute protagonists of this scene, Tang Xiaosha, a person with real skills, really saved him a lot of time and energy.  Any action, any idea, as long as Yuan Kui can do it, there is no need to say it a second time. He can do it easily, and the quality can be guaranteed, which makes the entire crew of martial arts people marvel in admiration.  Yuan Kui sighed countless times: "Xiao Sazai, you really should take the route of a kung fu superstar. Now Aaron and Jet Li are almost unable to fight. Among the kung fu actors in the Chinese film industry, only Zhen Zidan and Wu Jing can hold on.  You should really take up this responsibility and continue to carry the banner of real kung fu movies!¡± Under this background, Brother Xiaosha can only go online out of boredom every day, update his blog, and write about his daily shooting.  Interesting things are posted on the blog, which makes many reporters and fans regard his blog as one of the best windows to understand the progress of "Red Cliff".  Of course, Wu Yusen gave permission to publish these things, and he?The plot was not revealed, only one or two photos at most, which was equivalent to indirectly maintaining the popularity of the crew. As the director, Wu Yusen certainly agreed without reason.  On this day, when a minor supporting actor's actions went wrong again, and while Yuan Kui was telling him a play, Brother Xiaosha, who was covered in blood and dust, wearing a wig and a bun, and looked extremely embarrassed, couldn't help but feel cruel  I snorted hard because the smell of fireworks in this scene was so strong. There were houses lit by kerosene almost everywhere. When people were inside, it really made my lungs feel uncomfortable!  Of course, the assistant Li Minghao also followed into the set. He was holding a twisted white towel in his left hand and a bottle of pure water in his right hand. He came up and handed the water to Brother Xiaosha first, and then saw that he had drunk enough.  Asked: "Boss, the great beauty Lin Zhiling has just joined the group. She showed up here just now, but she left immediately!" "Oh, just come in! The air here is so smelly, I want to leave quickly.  !¡± Brother Xiaosha was startled at first, but soon he returned to normal. After all, the most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is beauties. He has seen a lot of them now, even the so-called "the most beautiful woman in the treasure island".  It's just a bit of long-standing curiosity, rather than a very urgent desire to see her.  "Boss, she is a top beauty! Didn't you see how excited those bitches were when they saw her just now!" Brother Xiaosha threw the bottle to her, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay if you really have nothing to do.  If it works. Then help me think about it. After all, the first three parts of the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series are classics, and now it's 19 years since I started filming the fourth one.  It will arouse a strong response, especially the combination of the two directors Spielberg + George Lucas. This kind of opportunity is indeed rare. "But this is just a small supporting role!" Li Minghao said: "And the role.  He was a mercenary who was bribed by the Soviet KBG. He was a villain, and he was killed in less than 2 minutes. This kind of scene is really meaningless. " "Yes, the character is a villain, and the time is a bit short.  , but don¡¯t you think this role is actually very brilliant?¡± Brother Xiaosha pursed his lips and said with a smile: ¡°If I were not killed by a sniper rifle, I would be absolutely invincible in it. This drama can fully demonstrate my skills.  This is what matters most to me." Li Minghao opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Brother Xiaosha continued: "And the most important thing is that working with Spielberg will definitely benefit my future in Hollywood.  The only dissatisfaction with the development is that there are too few scenes and only a few lines, which is really uncomfortable! "Li Minghao can see that Brother Xiaosha still has complicated feelings about this opportunity.  It was because the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series had a great reputation and he didn't want to miss this opportunity. On the other hand, because the opportunity he got was too small, he felt that he couldn't make a good use of it, which would be a little uncomfortable.  But there is no way, because this is the normal development situation of Asian actors in Hollywood.  It took Fang Chenglong more than 10 years, and Li Lianjie could only play the villain + supporting role at the beginning, and Zhou Runfa?  In fact, he just made his mark in Hollywood, and the few movies he acted in didn't leave much of a deep mark at all.  And now, Tang Xiaosa wants to enter Hollywood. Even though he has already become famous all over the world and signed a cooperation agreement with CAA, the giant American economic company, he cannot be pushed to the starring position all of a sudden.  Because the roots of Hollywood are still in the American market, and the American market must use Americans (mainly white people) as leading actors. Even "Rush Hour", Jackie Chan's best-selling Hollywood work, the producers still worked hard for him.  An African-American actor was arranged as a partner to ensure the American content of the film.  You know, Jackie Chan has always been the only protagonist in his movies, and everyone else can only play supporting roles, but his Hollywood movies have to make an exception. This is because it is difficult for American movie fans to recognize movies starring non-Americans.  Li Minghao shook the empty bottle in his hand and said unwillingly: "I'm really not willing to accept it. After all, they took advantage of your fame, but actually asked you to make soy sauce. This is really disgusting.  " No, thanks to the contribution of the Internet as a carrier, let alone China, the name chine-tang is still very loud in the hearts of young people in Europe and the United States. Countless people click to watch his performance videos every day  , new fans join chise-tang, a European and American fan forum, every day. His video with the highest number of views on YouTube has now exceeded 2 billion views.  Logically speaking, with such a strong popularity, it should be very simple for him to enter Hollywood. Not to mention starring, but a supporting role must be no problem, right?  But actually, I want to invite??His films are all small-production independent films, or literary films.  Giants like Universal and Paramount have no such idea at all, because they all have their own favorite actor, and they don't have to spend a lot of time to modify the script. After all, he is Chinese. If he were to be the leading actor, the script would be  All have to be rearranged.  Therefore, in fact, there is really no market for Asian actors in Hollywood, unless it is a specific action movie, but there are not many such movies, and there are even fewer good scripts that are successful in filming. I have not seen Zhou Runfa, Jet Li, and others.  Have Fang Chenglong and others begun to actively return to the Chinese film industry?  Brother Xiaosha shook his head in silence, and suddenly said decisively: "Don't worry, I will definitely not suffer. If the salary is less than 2 million US dollars, I will not accept it!" He has already figured it out, he is still very young,  Although you have to go to Hollywood sooner or later, you can't be too conceited. You can't lose your face and dignity just to step into the threshold.  It¡¯s okay to play a small role!  Prepare your $2 million salary first!  (To be continued)
