After getting Shidi at the start

Chapter 99
"Why, I just finished talking with my parents on the phone, isn't it worth being happy, and you still have such a sad face?"

As soon as Brother Wang walked in from the outside, he saw Li Mingji looking at the phone with a constipated expression on his face.

Li Mingji turned to look at him, and asked a question that many children have asked: "Do you think I am their own?"

Brother Wang: "..."

what's wrong with this kid?
Li Mingji suddenly laughed and said: "Forget it, I don't think so much. How about it, how did they arrange it?"

When it comes to business, Brother Wang's expression became serious, he nodded and said: "The new action arrangement is ready, the director means, you just came back, you don't need to start shooting immediately, and they haven't finished shooting yet, so Taking advantage of this time, let you practice with the movement guide for two days first."

Li Mingji nodded, which was expected.

The crew is still working on the scenes of the villa. After all, this is the most important place in the play. Most of the scenes where the male and female protagonists get along with each other take place here, and other main characters also appear here. Sixty-seventy percent of the scenes can be completed in this venue.

The rest, of course, is the location and some special scenes, and maybe even use the green screen, and then you have to go to the studio to shoot.

The crew is currently filming, of course, other than the actor who needs to appear in other scenes.

Even as soon as Li Mingji came back, he heard that there was a scene where he used his back as a stand-in.

Anyway, as long as you can't see the face, everyone can't tell if it's him.

But it was only for this period, and the rest needed Li Mingji to appear in the shot. Even if there was a back view or a profile, it was just a few fragmentary shots. It was impossible to shoot it specially, and we still had to wait for him to come back.

"Um...are you here?"

The crew specially arranged a large room for the action group. When Li Mingji and the others passed by, the action director and other action actors, including Li Mingji's martial arts, were training.

Li Mingji immediately stepped forward to say hello, and said, "What should I do now?"

"Well, you are watching from the side now. Come on, let's gather first!" The action director said, and clapped his hands to make everyone stop first.

When everyone stood together, he said to Li Mingji: "Mr. Li, the next step will be the same as before. We will demonstrate the movements first, and then you will watch them a few times, and then try them yourself. The new movements will be It is more suitable for you, and it should be easier to remember."

Li Mingji nodded, thinking about what happened last time, he was a little embarrassed.

The efficiency of the action group is quite high. They have only been out for a few days, and even if you add the previous time, it is only a little over a week.

And they not only re-arranged the fight scene in the villa, but also re-arranged the subsequent action scenes.

Of course, the main thing is to establish a general direction, and the details will definitely be picked up in due course.

After all, the problems that will be encountered vary from person to person. If Li Mingji is not allowed to practice it, the action guide will not be able to determine where it needs to be improved.

Then the action actors and Li Mingji's stuntmen began to practice for him according to the choreographed movements.

Over and over again, over and over again, the action becomes slower and slower each time, and in the end there is even "storyboard action".

"Pay attention here, there is an elbow retraction movement, because the problem of angle may be hidden, but you have to do it, because it is coherent with the next movement. If you don't do this movement, it will be incoherent like that later , it will look a little distorted."

The action director also played the role of on-site commentary on the side. Every time he reached a critical point, he asked the action actors to stop, and then began to explain the essentials of the action to Li Mingji, and repeated several times for demonstration.

"Actually, action scenes require the cooperation of both parties, so to put it bluntly, it's a routine, you come and go, this way it looks good. It must not be like a real-life fight, that kind of bastard punch, it would be boring to watch like that .”

Li Mingji nodded, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter, because when he said this, he even made a gesture of opening his teeth and claws, which really looked a bit like a bastard...

The action director naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't care about his smile, and continued to point out: "And here, this high leg lift, it doesn't matter if you can't lift your leg, don't try to lift it up, that way The movement deformation is not good-looking, and it is easy to fall.

"I'll teach you a little technique. Just put your calf in, don't kick it out together, and then do a leg lift like this. It looks like you've lifted your leg and kicked it, but in fact it's just pushing your knee up hard..."

Li Mingji learned to do some movements, and it felt much easier.

Of course, he doesn't know if this action will have that effect when shooting, but the professionals must believe him when they say so.

"Yes, you can raise it even higher." The moving finger teacher took a look and nodded, and asked the action actors to continue with the next movement.

In this way, he taught and learned at the same time, explaining and detailing the details with his fingers, so that Li Mingji could write them down smoothly.

Of course, even if you really write it all down, making the moves is another matter, so you will definitely be guided step by step in stages.

After these days, the action group may have realized that Li Mingji is a rookie in this area, so he dismantled all the actions for him, so that he can see more clearly, understand more, and learn faster.

And this is the first time after all, when Li Mingji has practiced a lot and "played" a lot, if he forms muscle memory, it will become easier and easier in the future, and the workload will be smaller.

If you want to compare it, it's like building a tall building and laying a foundation. Only the stronger the foundation is, the more stable the top will be.

After all, although every play will be different, many actions are actually repetitive. Li Mingji will naturally become more and more relaxed when he does more.

In fact, as long as he is willing to spend more time and practice more every day, he may improve faster.

But the action director obviously felt that a big star like him would not do such a thing, so he didn't ask for it at all.

"Okay, then there are so many moves in this scene. In fact, it looks very simple when divided. Next, try it yourself. Don't worry, I will teach you step by step in this way. Let's go one by one. Come on, first..."

Because it is considered "tailor-made", and it is divided into detailed explanations, it seems easier for Li Mingji to practice than before.

But it is not difficult to learn, but to learn well, you still need to practice a lot.

Fortunately, Director Zhang adjusted the shooting plan later, and pushed back the shooting of the action scene.

Naturally, this point has to be discussed with the action group. After all, they still have contracts with other crews, but they only enter the next group after finishing this group. In fact, they are more flexible and easy to coordinate.

And the director's requirements are not too much, but the refinement is not to the point of harshness, and action scenes are destined to be more difficult and slow down the progress than literary dramas.

Otherwise, if it was just a literary drama, a drama with [-] or [-] episodes would never be filmed in four months.

This was originally expected, but now it is for the sake of excellence, so on the basis of the original, some time has been added, so that Li Mingji has enough time to learn and digest these movements.
