Chapter 79 Martial Arts
"Come on, get ready, let's start shooting."

Assistant director Liu Bo was calling people to their seats.

Lin Guzhi and the stunt double took their positions, ready to start filming.

At this time, Lin Guzhi was wearing a black shirt, a high crown and a wig, and holding a fake sword. He looked cold and awe-inspiring, but flashy and unrealistic. Lin Guzhi felt that the sword was too light, and it felt like it was of poor quality. He was worried that if he used a little force, the sword would break.

There are two people acting opposite him in this scene. They belong to the same sect, so they are dressed the same and hold swords in their hands.

Liu Qianding then came over to narrate the play, gesticulating for a long time and saying "you do this", "you do that", "wait until he finishes this move, then you lift the sword like this", "you fall down quickly", etc., arranging the entire action scene.

He should have been working with two stunt actors. He was very confident in them. When he saw them nodding, he knew they had understood.

However, Liu Qianding was a little worried about Lin Guzhi, who was filming for the first time, and specifically asked Lin Guzhi: "Is everything okay?"

Lin Guzhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's no problem."

This action was easy for him and he really had no problem with it.

Liu Qianding gave another instruction: "You performed well in the literary scenes, so pay attention when you shoot the martial arts scenes later. Our character needs to be more arrogant, with crisp movements, and also appear arrogant and stern enough. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Guzhi said: "Tell me in detail."

He has figured out the cold and domineering character in the literary drama, but he just has no idea how to act out the arrogance and coldness in the martial arts drama.

If he is ruthless and decisive enough, then it will be easy for him to say it.

Unfortunately, this is not the requirement of this play.

Liu Qianding had no choice but to give Lin Guzhi some advice: "How about this, don't show any expression on your face. And try to be restrained when doing the movements, okay?"

"no problem."

Lin Guzhi nodded. This is too easy. Combined with what Director Liu said before, the movements should be more straightforward, and it will be a piece of cake.

"Okay, get ready! Wait for my instructions, let's try one first."

Liu Qianding said this and retreated behind the monitor.

Besides him, there was also Yang Lijing who had been sitting behind the monitor.

Yang Lijing seemed very interested in Lin Guzhi's action scenes. Liu Qianding noticed this and asked with a smile after sitting down, "Why does Boss Yang want to watch his martial arts scenes in person?"

Yang Lijing said: "Yes, although I saw him do the splits before, I am still a little worried about how it will be when I get to the scene."

Liu Qianding said, "That's okay. I have a backup plan. If he can't do it, I'll put a stand-in on him. After the stand-in is done, I'll let him do a POSS to finish. Based on the coordination of his previous move, he should be able to do a beautiful ending. No problem."

Yang Lijing nodded and said, "Director Liu, I hope you have a solution."

Liu Qianding smiled and said, "But if he performs so badly, you have to deduct a portion of his red envelope and give it to me as compensation. Boss Yang, he doesn't have to worry about it, but I have to suffer. Look, I have lost a lot of hair."

Yang Lijing glanced at the sparse hair on top of Liu Qianding's cap after he took it off, and smiled, "No problem."

"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words!"

Liu Qianding said, directing the camera: "Start!"

Then he saw Lin Guzhi suddenly draw his sword in the monitor, his movements were clean and neat, which made him and Yang Lijing's worries disappear. The movement was not only clean and neat, but also very beautiful, which met Liu Qianding's requirements.

Liu Qianding leaned forward slightly, watching Lin Guzhi thrust out the sword as he expected on the monitor, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: "Beautiful!"

But just as he finished his admiration, he suddenly saw the two opponents facing Lin Guzhi unconsciously dodge backwards, their movements were awkward. One of them was even frightened and sat on the ground, his sword fell to the side, and his arm was raised, just to block in front of his eyes.

What the hell is this? !
"stop!"

Liu Qianding stood up angrily and shouted, "What are you two doing? Why do you look like you're going to die?" Lin Guzhi put away his sword. The martial arts stand-in sitting on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lin Guzhi with lingering fear, and turned to look at the director with an innocent look on his face.

It was another stuntman who spoke up: "Director, this is not our fault. You should have tried standing here just now. This guy is too scary. It's like he really wants to stab us to death with his sword. I felt like I was almost dead just now!"

The stuntman who was sitting on the ground just got up and nodded quickly: "Yes!"

Liu Qianding glanced at Lin Guzhi and was suspicious for a moment.

Yang Lijing, who had been sitting behind the monitor without getting up, had a look of surprise in her eyes. This guy was really good at it. He could scare people like this. He must have a lot of momentum!
Seeing this, Lin Guzhi took the initiative to say, "Director Liu, let's try another one. I'll hold back."

"Okay, one more."

Liu Qianding said, and then said to the two martial arts stand-ins, "Show some skills! You are so scared by a fake sword, are you still professionals?"

The two men said yes, but they were both thinking in their hearts, "You can try it if you can." They just had to work under someone else's hand, so they didn't dare to talk back to the director. They picked up their swords and posed, asking Lin Guzhi, "Brother, please be careful."

Lin Guzhi said: "No problem."

Liu Qianding gave the order again: "Start!"

Lin Guzhi drew his sword again. This time it was much smoother than before. Although the two stuntmen were timid, they were not as frightened as before. They completed the round of movements smoothly.

Although Liu Qianding was still dissatisfied, he didn't say anything.

After trying a few more times, the three of them gradually found their form, and Lin Guzhi also roughly determined the extent of his movements, and their cooperation became perfect.

Then the filming officially started, one scene after another, and the action scenes were filmed even more smoothly than the drama scenes.

At nightfall, the opposing partners took turns, but Lin Guzhi was always on the field and had already shot a lot of fighting scenes.

"In this case, we can just add two more days of shooting and be done. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!"

Liu Qianding was extremely satisfied and said to Yang Lijing, "Boss Yang, you found a great person! He can act well and has great stamina. He didn't feel tired after filming all day long! Awesome!"

"Yeah. It's really impressive."

Yang Lijing watched the whole thing today and exclaimed in praise.

She greeted Liu Qianding and went to Lin Guzhi, ready to talk to him.

He happened to pass by the two stunt doubles who had acted opposite Lin Guzhi the earliest, and suddenly heard the two stunt doubles talking:
"I don't know where this guy came from. His first two moves were really scary!"

"You think so too, right? You see he made such a light move, but I really felt like he was going to stab me to death! It's so scary!"

"Me too... I felt like he had stabbed someone to death..."

"Luckily it's a movie shoot..."

"Yes, fortunately."
