Chapter 186: Wu Jing: Finally Finished Shooting!

~7 min read 1,249 words

Wu Jing was chatting about the action with the two martial directors of the Cheng Family Troupe.

Suddenly.

He saw Cheng Long and Han San Ye arriving.

He also hurried over.

The same.

The Cheng Family Troupe's Li Zhongzhi and Chen Wei, seeing the big brother arrive, also rushed over.

"Big brother, San Ye!"

Wu Jing respectfully greeted.

Cheng Long and Han Canping were also fairly familiar with Wu Jing.

"Jingzai, I just heard Director Lin say your underwater scene was really intense!" Cheng Long said, patting Wu Jing's shoulder with a smile.

Hearing that, Wu Jing chuckled, scratched his head and said, "Big brother, I'm thinking that even Hollywood can't pull off such camera moves, so we Huaguo people have to prove ourselves and get it done!"

When he said that, even Han San Ye couldn't help but nod and praised, "Not bad, having that spirit is good!" After that, he also teased Cheng Long, "Look at you, always saying Huaguo's action movies are running out of successors, but we have a good seed like Jingzai!"

"Ha ha!" Cheng Long and Lin Mo exchanged a glance and couldn't help laughing.

Then.

Cheng Long again chatted a few words with the two martial directors of the Cheng Family Troupe.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo also called over the main crew of "Wolf Warrior".

People like Wu Gang, Ding Haifeng, Yu Qian and others are veterans in the circle.

Of course they've met Cheng Long and Han Canping.

As for Chen Yao, that girl…

She was extremely nervous.

Cheng Long, big brother!

He is a legendary figure in Huaguo cinema!

"Don't be so nervous, relax a bit!"

Lin Mo patted his shoulder.

These days, although Chen Yao didn't have any scenes, she basically followed the crew daily to learn filmmaking experience.

Mainly because the starting point is too high!

Other actors just debut, either as extras or small supporting roles.

She, however,

She was only a freshman just entering school, hadn't stayed long, yet could directly act in Director Lin's new film, and even as the female lead.

Just thinking about it shows how much pressure she has.

Afraid that a botched performance would embarrass the Boss!

Afternoon.

Wu Jing's condition had mostly recovered.

He prepared to try the underwater scene again.

Everything was ready.

"Action!"

With the command, Wu Jing and the cameraman plunged into the water together.

In front of the monitor, Lin Mo, Cheng Long, and Han Canping stared at the screen, watching every movement underwater.

Every time they filmed this scene, not only the actors were nervous, Lin Mo was also extremely tense.

Fearing any mishap, the whole crew was constantly ready to handle emergencies.

However, the result this time turned out surprisingly good.

A full two‑minute one‑shot was actually captured.

But the visual quality was a bit off.

"Ka!" Lin Mo shouted loudly.

The speedboat nearby immediately sped over, quickly pulling Wu Jing and the other actors out.

Lin Mo took off his earpiece, smiled at Long Shu and San Ye, and said, "Long Shu, San Ye, I really didn't expect that once you arrived, the scene went so smoothly."

Hearing that.

Han Canping laughed, "With you saying it like that, we two are your lucky stars!"

"It must be!"

"Ha ha!"

Over here.

Wu Jing got ashore.

When he learned that they had just filmed a full two‑minute scene.

He was shocked!

Because it was the first time a scene lasted this long.

Earlier underwater, he hadn't seen any rescue crew actions, holding his breath until the end.

"Jing Ge, your performance today is quite good; I feel after a few more days of shooting, this opening will be done!"

Lin Mo waved at Wu Jing.

Sure enough.

After watching it himself, Wu Jing was extremely excited!

"Jingzai, your two‑minute underwater fight scene was spectacular!" Cheng Long, big brother, couldn't help but pat his shoulder.

"Great, keep it up—Huaguo's action movies are counting on you!"

Han Canping spoke.

What was said to Wu Jing left him feeling both honored and startled.

Cheng Long elder brother and Han San Ye only stayed here for a few days.

How to put it.

During this time, they only managed to shoot one complete underwater fight shot.

But the effect was too poor to use.

Now, each day's underwater scenes can at most be shot in about six takes.

Mainly because this had reached Wu Jing's limit.

In the blink of an eye.

Filming the underwater scenes in Bin Cheng has already been going for about a month and a half.

April 3rd, this afternoon.

The sunshine is just right!

With that, Lin Mo let out a "click!"

"Passed!"

Immediately.

The entire crew, up and down, burst into cheers and joy!

"Passed!"

Finally heard Director Lin shout those words!

When Wu Jing surfaced from the water.

Seeing everyone excited like this.

He first looked bewildered.

"Brother Jing, it's passed—this scene is finally over!"

The rescue team on the speedboat excitedly shouted at Wu Jing.

"Passed?"

At this moment, Wu Jing felt utterly relieved in his heart.

He even wanted to tilt his head back and shout loudly!

These days of filming have worn him out to the point of being exasperated.

Having acted all his life, he's never felt this tired.

No wonder...

Never before has there been a one-shot underwater scene.

This is simply not something a human could do!

And he actually completed it!

"Brother Jing, this scene was shot so cool!"

"Brother Jing, awesome!"

"So awesome, the number one person in the world!"

"Brother Jing, awesome!"

After getting ashore, whether actor or crew member.

Not one of them failed to give Wu Jing a thumbs-up.

So awesome!

Wu Jing walked over to the soundstage.

Lin Mo watched Wu Jing approach, also smiling and giving him a thumbs-up: "Brother Jing, awesome!"

"Director Lin, this scene... really passed?"

At this moment, Wu Jing still felt as if he were dreaming.

Unreal... too unreal.

From the side, it also proved just how difficult this underwater scene was to shoot.

Look.

It tortured Wu Jing to the point his nerves were near breaking.

Seeing this.

Lin Mo then laughed and patted Wu Jing's shoulder: "You're not dreaming; it really passed—come look at this shot!"

This underwater scene.

The shots were taken at least over a hundred.

Wu Jing has watched each one.

But...

When he saw the shot Director Lin called the most perfect, it was truly amazing.

Even.

He was even thinking...

Is this me?

Immediately, Lin Mo grabbed the loudspeaker and shouted: "Tonight let's have some fun, I've booked a restaurant, we won't stop until we're drunk, let's celebrate, and by the way, there are red packets to grab!"

These words came out.

Cheers filled the set.

Director Lin is awesome!!!

Director Lin is impressive!

Director Lin, I love you!!!

Director Lin is tall, Director Lin is hard...

Director Lin is both tall and hard!

These guys even started memes from 'Let the Bullets Fly'.

They even made Lin Mo laugh.

These days.

The whole crew was in Bin Cheng just to shoot six minutes of footage.

They filmed for over 20 days.

Actually, Lin Mo wasn't after ultimate visual quality; he could have finished shooting long ago.

But..

He's just a bit of a perfectionist.

If you say you have no money, then just make do.

But he's not short on money now—quality, special effects all need to be maxed out!

What he wants is a visual feast!
