Chapter 770: Discussion on martial arts scenes

Jian Liting had scenes with Lian Baozhi in the *Desperate Counterattack* crew.

So she had an impression of Lian Baozhi’s strength.

Lian Baozhi is an okay actor, but definitely can't be called good.

With her acting skills, acting in TV dramas is fine, but when filming movies that require delicate and subtle expressions, she often doesn't do well.

Either she uses too much force, or she only knows how to make the same expression forever.

Hearing Jin Li say this, she instead raised a curiosity about Lian Baozhi.

Even if Jin Li is missing from her drama, it’s not like it can't be performed.

At the time, when she chose this drama, she had the idea of either being a supporting role for Jin Li or Jin Li being a supporting role for her.

Now that Jin Li cannot participate in the drama because she has to enter the crew, it is logical for her to be the female lead.

Even if Lian Baozhi joins the crew, it is impossible for her to play some core roles.

Thinking that when Jin Li first recommended this actor to her, she mentioned that being the female lead might not work, but she could try other roles.

Jian Liting’s heart settled, and she decided to give Lian Baozhi a chance.

But this opportunity was not won for her by Jin Li. Even if the factor of Jin Li’s recommendation was set aside, judging from her previous observations in the crew, she could see that Lian Baozhi had a little strength.

It is more than enough for her to play some inconspicuous supporting roles in the drama.

Jian Liting said: "Push her WeChat to me, and I will contact her then. By the way, is your filming in the crew going smoothly recently?"

Jin Li smiled: "With Director Chu pressing down, there won't be any big problems in the crew."

"On the contrary, my assistant occasionally mentions your situation with Director Zheng to me. Do you two really have something going on?"

Jian Liting smiled lightly: "Others tease me because they don't know the situation. Don't you know what the situation is between me and Director Zheng? It’s all for outsiders to see."

"If some groundless scandals aren't spread from time to time, my company won't let me go so easily."

"I feel that they might be about to come to their senses, so I discussed going out to eat with Director Zheng to give the paparazzi some material."

Jin Li cared a few words: "You and your company?"

Jian Liting’s tone was relaxed: "Still the same as before, stiffly deadlocked, but thanks to the romance with Director Zheng, they don't dare to offend me too harshly. At least they released the drama and let me participate."

"After all, in the domestic special-effects film market, except for Director Chu who is very famous internationally, it is Director Zheng who is carrying the banner."

"Unless they don't let their actors film special-effects blockbusters in the future, then offending Director Zheng doesn't matter."

Jin Li said indifferently: "You haven't appeared in front of the public for the past few years, and your popularity has lost a lot. You have already left the ranks of first-line stars, and you might not even be as good as some third-line stars."

"Offending you doesn't matter, but if it offends a director who is in full swing, it is too much of a loss for the company."

She exchanged a few words with Jian Liting and hung up the phone.

Just then, Gu Cheng knocked on her door, holding a script in his hand.

Tomorrow they are going to film his, Bai Jiang’s, and her scenes. There is a plot he doesn't understand, so he came over to discuss it with her.

Time flew by, and it soon came to the next day.

Today, there were more actors in the crew. This was the first time the three important characters performed on the same stage since filming started these days.

The script stated from the beginning that the behind-the-scenes villain cultivated a bunch of clones, and the genes of these clones all came from the most powerful batch of people when the end of the world arrived.

So in the laboratory, the audience can see many characters who appeared in *Dawn 1*.

After all, they are clones, so it is normal for them to look exactly the same.

But because the growth environment is different, everyone’s personality and behavioral habits will also be different.

In this installment, Director Chu did not abandon the black humor that was specifically expressed in the first installment.

He made a treatment, which was to make the clones in the second installment specifically different from the characters in the first installment.

For example, characters who were relatively jumpy in the first installment would become incomparably calm in the second installment.

Those who were incomparably calm in the first installment would become incomparably jumpy in the second installment, focusing on a sense of contrast.

Audiences recalling the different performances of actors in the first and second installments will also be unable to help but smile.

It can both brush up on nostalgia and allow the audience to continue to explore the characters, increasing the depth of the work.

However, the personalities of supporting roles can be changed at will, but the personalities of the protagonists are hard to say.

Director Chu specifically made the clone of Ji Ruibin have the same personality as the first installment.

Then he made the clone of Ruan Ruan in the second installment more restrained in arrogance, more like Ruan Ruan in the late end of the world in the first installment, calm.

And among them, Director Chu introduced a new character, Gu Cheng.

Unlike what everyone thought, although Gu Quan, played by Gu Cheng, is also a clone, the gene he cloned is not the gene of that batch of strongest warriors.

But cloned the gene of the behind-the-scenes big boss’s son—

That son who died in the early days of the end of the world!

So this clone body of Gu Quan, even if it is just a clone, has sat in a high position in the laboratory.

You know, the high positions in the laboratory are not clones, but people born through natural childbirth.

They are the ones who control everything behind the scenes.

But only Gu Quan, played by Gu Cheng, sat in a high position as a clone, and also knew the inside story earlier than other clones.

Gu Quan is a coward.

The clone is also called Gu Quan. His gene subject "Gu Quan" died because he couldn't survive when the end of the world just arrived.

Even if it is a clone body now, the clone body seems to have cloned the cowardice in Gu Quan’s genes.

Even though he got the cultivation of so many high-level materials in the laboratory, his body developed well, and his potential was the greatest.

But when he learned that he was a clone, his first reaction was not to resist, but how to better cover up all this.

Cowardice is deeply branded in his bones.

So when Gu Quan pursued Ruan Tang, the clone of Ruan Ruan, his attitude toward her was distant.

People in the laboratory all thought that Gu Quan and Ruan Ruan were a match made in heaven, and their personalities were compatible.

But only Gu Quan looked down on Ruan Tang for being a clone, yet couldn't help but be attracted by Ruan Tang.

The scene Director Chu wanted to film today was that Ji Ming, the clone of Ji Ruibin, wanted to pursue Ruan Tang after Ruan Tang helped him once.

Gu Quan used his authority to specifically separate his experimental project with Ruan Tang, not giving the two a chance to contact.

Ji Ming noticed this and specifically came to Gu Quan, but Ruan Tang was also here.

Now it’s good. Ji Ming expressed his heart to Ruan Tang, while Gu Quan was angry and told him to stay away from Ruan Tang.

As for Ruan Tang……

That’s even more extreme. She doesn't like either of them. No, it should be that she has some liking for Gu Quan, but recently she has been having headaches and mental irritability due to the precognitive dreams that appear in her mind.

So she suddenly said: "In this life, I want to contribute to science, and I won't marry anyone! If I have to marry, my husband is science!"

This is a funny plot specifically designed by Director Chu.

Jin Li doesn't know if it will be funny when filmed.

But when she saw this line, she felt it was quite abstract.

It might be a bit awkward to film, but the effect should be quite good.

And this time, not only this version in the script needs to be filmed.

For this plot, Director Chu specifically designed three versions, letting them film all three versions.

When the time comes, he will do the editing and see which version has a better effect, and then use that version.

So Jin Li has to say this awkward line three times.

Director Chu not only set funny points in Jin Li’s lines, but Ji Ming and Gu Quan’s lines also have their own funny materials.

When they are crazy for love, their IQs become like elementary school chickens, and their arguing is very childish.

It makes it hard to believe that this group of high-IQ researchers argue like kindergarten children.

When the three were filming, other actors in the crew were watching.

"It’s here, is the legendary Shura field coming?"

"Eh, the lines of these three people are all very funny, the atmosphere is harmonious, I didn't feel any Shura field, instead, it was so oily that goosebumps were about to come out."

"I observed carefully, in the end, Bai Jiang lost. When the filming ended, only Gu Cheng was talking to Jin Li, and Bai Jiang didn't go over. Is this to avoid suspicion?"

"What you said, when Gu Cheng was still there, Jin Li also talked to Bai Jiang. Why, when Bai Jiang is there, you have to avoid suspicion, why don't you see Gu Cheng avoiding suspicion?"

"Hey, that must be Bai Jiang avoiding suspicion. Gu Cheng and Jin Li are the official match, the two are locked!"

"I don't care. I have watched *Dawn 1*, and the CP I like most is Ruan Ruan and Ji Ruibin. Su Yuxuan simply doesn't work. Anyway, I want to watch this CP in the second part. I hope Director Chu can give them a good result."

It would have been fine if the character "Su Yuxuan" hadn't been mentioned.

Once this character was mentioned, the actors in the crew couldn't help but think more.

Director Chu almost called back all the actors from *Dawn 1*, so why didn't the most important female lead, Xu Ting, come over?

Although it is said that the scenes of *Dawn 2* are mainly concentrated on the character "Ruan Tang," even the absolute male lead of the first part, Ji Ruibin (Ji Ming), has to give way.

The male lead’s sense of presence is not high at all, and he was compared by the character "Gu Quan" in the early stage.

Only when he needs to use force to conquer the laboratory later will Ji Ruibin (Ji Ming) shine, but that is also a martial arts scene.

In terms of literary scenes, there are actually not as many as the character "Gu Quan."

From the perspective of character personality, the character "Gu Quan" is more complex and can be considered the second villain.

The first big villain is naturally the behind-the-scenes big BOSS who controls the research base in secret.

But even if the vision of the second part is concentrated on "Ruan Tang," it shouldn't make Su Yuxuan have no scenes at all.

They looked at the script at the time and thought that this part of the content was specifically hidden by the crew.

This is for confidentiality. The focus of the script that each actor has in their hands is different.

But now that the crew has been filming for so many days, they have never heard any news from the crew that Xu Ting is coming for a special appearance.

Could it be that Director Chu replaced the female lead directly this time, making her not even have a scene to show her face?

These thoughts, the actors only dared to think in their hearts, and did not go to ask the director, and even less would go to ask Jin Li and Bai Jiang.

If one asked badly, maybe they would offend them to death.

The literary scenes filmed by the three together were soon finished.

These so-called Shura field plots are simple and relaxed, mixed with some nonsense.

For the three actors, there is no difficulty. Normal performance will not be cut, basically one take or two takes.

When it came to the evening, Director Chu wanted to film Bai Jiang’s martial arts scene.

He specifically called Gu Cheng over. This time he didn't let him stand in front of the lens, but let him observe carefully how Bai Jiang was filming.

Director Chu said: "You just came out of *Desperate Counterattack* not long ago. I understand that there are many martial arts scenes in this play."

"Your martial arts scenes should be better than other actors after being trained by Zheng Chengxin, but they may not necessarily fit the style of my play."

"I called you over this time just to let you observe more how Bai Jiang is filming. If it is very different from your style, then you have to adjust as soon as possible."

"Because you will also film many martial arts scenes next. As the son cloned by the base ruler, you are also responsible for helping to deal with some dirty things under the behind-the-scenes big BOSS."

"So although your force value is not as powerful as those strongest warriors at the gene level, you have been cultivated by the latest technology, and your force value is also very high."

Gu Cheng listened carefully to Director Chu’s requirements, and suddenly thought of something, and asked suspiciously:

"Director Chu, then according to your idea, Ji Ming has the genes of the strongest warriors in his body, so what is branded in his bones should be the habits formed by the strongest warriors when the end of the world just arrived."

"So my fighting style with the strongest warriors should also be different."

A flash of thoughtfulness crossed Director Chu’s eyes, and he said with interest: "Continue."

Gu Cheng weighed his words, and his speaking speed was very slow, as if he was also organizing his thoughts.

"My meaning is, the fighting style of their batch of gene warriors’ clones should have a significant distinction from the warriors cultivated now."

"Only then can the charm of genes be set off. Even if they are cloned, after all, the behavioral habits engraved in the bones will not change."

"Personality can be changed, but instincts can never be changed."

"These instincts are the abilities they stimulate when facing danger, hidden in the deepest genetic encoding of them."

Director Chu was silent for a while before saying: "You are right."

"When writing the script at the time, we didn't consider this point. Fortunately, we haven't officially let you enter the martial arts scenes yet, so we can still change it."

"If we found this problem halfway through filming, we wouldn't be able to change it even if we wanted to."

So this evening, Bai Jiang came to the crew early, waiting for the filming of the martial arts scene.

But he waited for the discussion between Director Chu and the martial arts artistic director. They wanted to change Ji Ming’s martial arts scenes, making his martial arts scenes have a trace of the "past life" brand.

Bai Jiang didn't know why the actions that were originally decided had to be changed at the last minute.

He listened carefully to the discussion between Director Chu and the martial arts director, understood the places they were confused about, and intervened:

"While retaining the martial arts style of the past life, there must also be a distinction, becoming a trace of immaturity, a feeling of slowly activating."

"Clones are clones after all. Even if they have good genes, they are ultimately different from the original owner. Clones themselves are a kind of existence with defects and artificially cultivated rapidly." ===== CHAPTER 779 =====
