Chapter 150 Be serious, we're filming!
Yang Mi cupped her cheeks in her hands, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
He's usually a shrewd and calculating tycoon, but now, dressed in these tattered clothes, he exudes an unparalleled, roguish charm that seems to come straight out of his bones!
Lu Yang watched the footage on the monitor, rubbing his hands together excitedly.
He really struck gold this time! Not only did he get a free cameo from the boss, but he also solved a huge problem along the way.
To establish his authority, Lu Yang was ruthless; he arranged for Ding Xiu to appear in the very first scene.
They euphemistically called it, "Let the boss set an example for everyone!"
The martial arts instructor hired by the production team was about to approach Gu Heng with the storyboard to rehearse the moves, but Gu Heng waved his hand and said, "No need for that. I'll just lead the rhythm."
What a joke! With the martial arts skills that Gu Heng has practiced since childhood, dealing with a set of martial arts moves is a piece of cake for him.
With his skills, if a fight really broke out, even several martial arts choreographers tied together wouldn't be enough for him to chop off with one hand.
The role of Jin Yichuan is played by Li Dongxue. At this time, this guy was still a nobody, someone Lu Yang had dragged into the Beijing Film Academy.
If, a few years later, he went to have a romance with Huanhuan at Lingyun Peak in Ganlu Temple, his fame would be completely different.
But now, facing the big investor and one of the top directors in the country, Li Dongxue was so nervous that his palms were sweating and even the hands holding the two swords were trembling slightly.
"Attention all departments! Scene 1 of 'Brotherhood of Blades' - Take one take, Action!" With Lu Yang's loud shout, the clapperboard rang out crisply.
The water truck had just sprayed a thin layer of water on the bluestone slabs, and the water stains reflected the dim yellow light of a few lanterns nearby. Combined with a few fallen leaves blown up by the blower, the atmosphere was filled with the desolate and gloomy feeling of the late Ming Dynasty.
Jin Yichuan, dressed in a flying fish robe, heard a whistle.
Turning towards the direction of the voice, "Senior brother."
From the shadows, Ding Xiu, played by Gu Heng, sauntered out. He carried a long, narrow Miao sword on his shoulder and was chewing on half a cold steamed bun that he had somehow gotten his hands on.
That gait, swaying with every step, was incredibly irritating.
"What are you looking at? Are you afraid your friends who work for the government will see me?" Gu Heng glanced at Jin Yichuan casually, his eyes full of undisguised mockery.
Before the other party could reply, Gu Heng chuckled, his tone so flippant it made one's teeth itch: "Don't worry, we've already gone quite far."
Jin Yichuan, with a sullen face, took out a small silver ingot from his pocket and handed it over, saying with annoyance, "Senior brother, take the silver and leave quickly."
Gu Heng reached out and took the silver, tossed it in his hand, and pursed his lips: "Even a small fly is still meat."
Jin Yichuan frowned, gritted his teeth, and said, "This is the last time. Don't come looking for me again." With that, he turned and left.
"You really think that just because you're wearing this flying fish robe, you're an official?"
Gu Heng's smile vanished, his eyes turning as cold as a venomous snake, each word piercing Jin Yichuan's lungs: "A thief is a thief. I'll keep this secret of yours for the rest of my life."
Jin Yichuan, stung by the attack, whirled around, glaring at him angrily, and retorted through gritted teeth, "Can you even stomach that?"
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow, pressing forward relentlessly, his aura overwhelming him: "Not convinced? I'll give you three days to gather one hundred taels."
"One hundred taels?!" Jin Yichuan was shocked and couldn't believe it.
"One hundred taels." Gu Heng repeated, his tone firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
Then, a wicked smile crept across his lips. "Go sell your ass. There are so many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital who are homosexual. It's easy."
Yang Mi, who was watching from the sidelines, almost burst out laughing when she heard this line. That line was way too risqué!
However, thinking about the entertainment industry today, there are indeed quite a few male celebrities who take this shortcut to climb the ladder.
I heard there's a rising star from Hong Kong and Taiwan who just got a lead role in a big-budget production after accompanying a wealthy businessman on a golf trip to Southeast Asia.
This industry is a complete mess!
After Gu Heng finished speaking, he turned around and strode away with an extremely flamboyant gait.
Jin Yichuan was furious. How could he tolerate this? He lunged straight at Gu Heng and pulled the Miao sword from Gu Heng's shoulder.
Gu Heng's eyes sharpened, and he merely shifted his body slightly, his movements incredibly fast.
Gu Heng had already regained the initiative. He gripped the Miao sword with one hand, twisted the blade, and easily pinned Jin Yichuan down. Then, he pushed forward, knocking Jin Yichuan away.
The entire movement was fluid, fast, accurate, lazy, and ruthless!
She handled everything with ease.
The action choreographer next to him was so shocked his jaw almost dropped to the floor!
"Trying to kill me again?" Gu Heng sneered as he opened his mouth to Jin Yichuan.
Then, Gu Heng sheathed his Miao sword, rested his hands on the hilt, and looked at Jin Yichuan's pathetic state as he coughed up blood violently. He mocked, "I really don't know what Master saw in you, you tuberculosis-ridden wretch!"
Then he shouldered his Miao sword and swaggered into the depths of the alley.
Without turning his head, he threw down the last two words:
"Three days!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his unruly figure disappeared completely into the night.
"Click! Perfect!!!"
Lu Yang jumped up from behind the monitor, his voice cracking with excitement.
The entire audience erupted in deafening applause and cheers.
Wang Qianyuan and the others were completely stunned.
What is charisma? What is acting skill? This is it!
Gu Heng wiped the sweat from his face, walked to the sidelines, and took the dry towel that Yang Mi handed him.
While wiping his face, he looked at Li Dongxue, who was still panting heavily, and laughed, scolding, "How come you're already like this at such a young age? Don't fucking develop tuberculosis!"
Li Dongxue then came to his senses and hurriedly got up.
When he was acting with Gu Heng just now, he was genuinely moved by Gu Heng.
He was stunned by the murderous aura emanating from him, and for a moment he even thought he was really going to be hacked to death by this bastard.
Yang Mi thoughtfully handed Gu Heng some ginger soup, her fox-like eyes brimming with tears, and she said in a low, coquettish voice, "Brother, you were so naughty just now, but I liked it so much..."
Gu Heng almost spat out his ginger soup.
This girl, all she thinks about all sorts of random colored waste every day.
"Be serious, we're filming." Gu Heng tapped her forehead impatiently, then turned to Lu Yang, "How about it, are you relieved now?"
Lu Yang nodded vigorously, almost kneeling down to his boss.
With Gu Heng's stunning opening scene setting the tone, the action style of "Brotherhood of Blades" is now firmly established.
That's exactly the kind of visceral, brutal feeling we're looking for.
With Gu Heng acting as a mascot on set for the next few days, the filming progressed at breakneck speed.
Liu Shishi and Tang Yan also joined the cast one after another. Compared to the somewhat expressionless acting that was heavily criticized in the original version, Gu Heng gave a strict order this time, instructing Su Qing to find teachers from the Central Academy of Drama to give these two girls extra lessons.
I didn't mean to say anything bad about the Beijing Film Academy. (Frantically stacking armor to stay alive, Cui Ma can't hear me, can't hear me.)
