Perfect Superstar

Chapter 272 A small test of skill

On the morning of the second day after "Blue Love" was finished, Chen Fei'er left Jinling and returned to the capital. -79 Novels-

She left quietly with her assistant, without saying goodbye to Lu Chen.

It's normal for couples in the entertainment industry to get together and part. Even if they have been in love for a short time, they are used to parting. They are used to being busy and don't know when they will see each other again.

Lu Chen got up early for morning exercises as usual, met Zhang De after breakfast, and drove together to Millennium Pass, the filming location of "The Great Han Wudi".

Jinling Film and Television City is one of the three major film and television cities in China. It covers a huge area. After more than ten years of construction, it has large-scale real-scene buildings such as Xiangjiang Road, Minguo Street, Ming and Qing Palaces, Qin Palace, Qingming Shanghe Picture, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. , as well as imitating natural landscapes such as the Côte d'Azur, the Gobi Desert, and the cliffs of fairy mountains.

These artificial scenes with huge investment allow film and television crews from all over the country to always find a studio that meets their needs, which in turn saves a lot of money.

Twenty or thirty years ago, this was unimaginable. At that time, CCTV often took several years to shoot large-scale TV dramas, and traveled all over the country to film scenes. I don’t know how much manpower and material resources were spent.

Now the speed of filming film and television dramas has been greatly accelerated. For example, all 20 episodes of "Blue Life and Death" were filmed in Jinling Film and Television City. The crew did not need to run around, so the filming was completed in just two months. .

It's just that compared to before, the actors' remuneration has increased many times, and the post-production is even more expensive. Large-scale productions often cost hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Especially the remuneration of the actors. Nowadays, first-line stars are invited to shoot TV dramas, and an episode is at least hundreds of thousands. A long drama is "spent" after a few million. The remuneration of movies is also astonishing.

Lu Chen made a cameo appearance as a character in "The Great Han Wudi", and the price offered by the other party was 200,000.

Near an antique Guancheng, Lu Chen met Lu Zhiyong, the director of "The Great Han Wudi".

Lu Zhiyong is in his thirties and almost forties. He is the so-called seventh-generation director in China. He is well-known in the film and television circle and is good at shooting period films.

"The Great Han Wudi" is the sixth film he directed. It is also the largest investment.

This movie invited a number of domestic first-line star actors to join, which can be regarded as star-studded, and the character played by Lu Chen is called Chen Jia, who is a general under the command of Hushi General Huo Qubing.

Lu Chen read the script on the way here. It's just a few shots and two lines.

The 200,000 yuan is actually very easy to earn. If it wasn't for the popularity of "Blue Life and Death" starring him recently,

He is qualified to have a name on the poster, and such a good thing will not fall on his head.

Of course, if he wanted to 'show' his face in the movie to make money, Lu Chen had to get Lu Zhiyong's approval first.

The director is tall and thin. Wearing black-rimmed glasses is a bit of a scholarly temperament, but his personality is quite tough and stubborn.

Zhang De knew Lu Zhiyong well, and he lowered his eyebrows in front of the director: "Hello, Director Lu."

Lu Zhiyong let out a "hmm", and his eyes fell on Lu Chen: "Is this the actor you recommend?"

Zhang De smiled and said, "Yes, his name is Lu Chen, and he just finished filming a TV series."

Lu Chen said politely, "Hello Director Lu, it's an honor to meet you."

There are rules in any circle, and the entertainment circle and the film and television circle are no exception. He is a newcomer who has just debuted, even if he is already popular. You have to be polite and polite when you meet your seniors, otherwise you will be easily rejected.

People who are arrogant and conceited, no matter how strong the background is, will encounter a broken head sooner or later.

Lu Zhiyong didn't have much good looks towards Lu Chen, he asked bluntly, "Can you ride a horse?"

Lu Chen calmly replied, "Yes."

He had ridden a horse before when he traveled with his parents to the prairie, and Mo Ran in Dream Age had learned riding specially, so there was absolutely no problem in driving the trained horses in the crew.

However, Lu Zhiyong was dubious, turned his head and said to a young man next to him: "Xiao Wang, you go and bring a horse over and let him try it."

"Good director!"

The young man agreed cleanly, and soon led a tall horse over.

See this black steed. Lu Zhiyong frowned.

Xiao Wang, who should be the assistant, handed the reins to Lu Chen, and said, "Can you do it? If you can't, don't be brave. If you fall down and break your bones, our crew will not be responsible."

He had a smile on his face when he spoke. It's a bit of a nasty taste.

Lu Chen's heart is clear.

When he saw this horse, he knew what tricks the other party was playing, and he must want to see his own jokes.

There are special horse farms in the film and television city, and the horses are rented out for the film crew to use. The choice of horses varies from person to person. Some actors can't ride horses or are timid, and the horses chosen for them are the most docile and weak. It's almost enough to sit up and pose.

But for those with high requirements and the need to produce effects, the horses chosen are not ordinary horses. People who don't know how to ride at all can't ride them, and they are lucky if they get a black nose and a swollen face.

This guy brought a good horse, not for a rookie to ride.

The other party undoubtedly wanted to see his jokes.

Inexperienced actors will probably be timid when they see such a tall horse.

Lu Chen glanced at the other party calmly, took the reins without hesitation, and wanted to see his joke?

What a joke!

At this moment, Lu Zhiyong said, "Let's change to another horse."

Of course, he could see that Xiao Wang was deliberately embarrassing Lu Chen. The reason is actually very simple, that is, he himself was a little unhappy with Lu Chen, and the assistant heard his complaints earlier.

And Lu Zhiyong's disgust with Lu Chen was because the investor's 'interfering' in the casting of the cast forced Lu Chen to come over.

Even if it is only a small role, the director feels that his authority has been damaged.

Originally, he could tolerate it, but recently the filming was not going well, and he had some conflicts with the management.

Lu Chen was actually shot while lying down.

But it's okay to be unhappy, Lu Zhiyong is not a hairy boy in his twenties, he will not act willfully.

If Lu Chen tried his best and had an accident while riding this horse, it is impossible for the production crew to be free of any responsibility.

So Lu Zhiyong thought it was better to ask someone to change the horse.

"Director Lu, this horse is 'very' suitable!"

However, what everyone didn't expect was that after Lu Chen took the reins, he immediately stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse, and sat firmly on the saddle, his movements were in a mess.

"drive!"

He scolded lightly, pinched the horse's belly with his legs, and shook the reins violently.

Xilulu~

The steed under his crotch immediately neighed loudly. Under Lu Chen's control, he turned his head and spread his hooves, and ran towards the grassland outside Guancheng like a whirlwind. He rushed tens of meters away in the blink of an eye. !

Including Lu Zhiyong and Xiao Wang, all the crew members on the set were dumbfounded.

With such a starting speed, only a real veteran can play well. Is Lu Chen looking for death?

Many people, together with the horse trainers present, hurriedly chased after him.

Falling from the back of a speeding horse is life-threatening. In the past, jockeys and extras broke their necks and died on the spot. As for broken bones or being trampled by horseshoes, it is very common.

Lu Chen's movements looked chic, but they were actually very dangerous!

However, these people can only eat ashes.

When he first got on the horse, Lu Chen's body was still a little stiff, which was caused by the instinctive excitement and excitement.

But when the steed started to sprint, and the strong wind rushed towards him, a familiar feeling enveloped his whole body, and the little fear in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Outside the Millennium Pass City is a vast pasture, and there are dozens of yurts scattered not far away. This is not only the filming location of the crew, but also a tourist attraction of Jinling Film and Television City. There are also several tourist buses parked nearby.

Due to the needs of filming, the grassland has been cleared, so Lu Chen didn't need to have any scruples. He drove the mount forward for several miles, and rushed to the grassy slope before turning back.

On the way back, Lu Chen circled around and happened to pass near those buses. There were many tourists watching the lively shooting there. When they saw him riding a horse, they all shouted loudly, as if they had discovered some new continent.

Lu Chen waved to them with a smile, and the horseshoe clattered all the way back to the gate of the city.

Both Lu Zhiyong and Zhang De ran out of Guancheng, Lu Chen took the reins to slow down, and stopped in front of them calmly.

He turned over and got off the horse, landed firmly on the ground, and pulled the rein to lead the horse over.

"Director Lu, I'm really sorry"

Lu Chen said apologetically, "It's been a long time since I've ridden a horse. I just confiscated it because my level is limited, so I'm worrying you."

Lu Zhiyong and the others were speechless.

This is considered a limited level, so what is good?

Anyone can easily see that Lu Chen not only knows how to ride a horse, but also has excellent riding skills.

At least he has no problem coping with the role he is interviewing for.

After the astonishment passed, Lu Zhiyong did not get angry and annoyed, but his eyes sparkled with excitement, and he praised: "This is very good, then can you play the 'flower' trick on the horse?"

The so-called "flower" moves are movements in jargon, and only those who have a routine can be considered beautiful.

Playing the "flower" style on horseback requires some real skills. Those who have not practiced do not know how to do it. At this time, a substitute is needed to solve it by using misplaced shooting and post-processing.

Of course, the actor doesn't need a stand-in to play in person, that's naturally the best!

The problem is that not many celebrities are willing to work hard to practice this, not to mention the danger.

But his intuition told Lu Zhiyong that Lu Chen's ability might not be limited to riding a horse, and there might be unexpected surprises.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I think I can try."

Can it really work?

Several crew members looked at each other in blank disbelief.

Lu Zhiyong smiled, and ordered: "Xiao Wang, ask someone to bring all the props and costumes and change them for him!"——
