Chapter 20: In the makeup room, Cai Shao Fen kneels before Liu Wei... [Data Needed]
After Tony Jia was crippled, Yu Dong quickly received the news.
He even saw the video.
Liu Wei was too strong, he would definitely rise to the top on the big screen!
Making an enemy of a rising action star like him was unwise!
So, Yu Dong didn't hesitate at all, he directly betrayed Zhang Jin!
He said that he was misled and manipulated by Zhang Jin, that's why he went crazy and had Tony Jia challenge Liu Wei!
In short, all the blame was placed on Zhang Jin.
...
"Honey, is what Yu Dong said true?"
Honey was on speakerphone, so she heard everything clearly.
Zhang Li, on the side, pretended not to hear.
After all, the fewer people who knew about this, the better.
"Even if it's not completely true, Zhang Jin didn't play a good role."
Liu Wei said.
"Then what are you going to do, honey?"
Honey asked.
"In "Wolf Warrior 2", Tony Jia was the undisputed second male lead. He had a lot of scenes. Now that he's been crippled, it's impossible to film for a while. That means Bona has to find someone else to replace him. There aren't many people who can compare to him, so this project is basically stalled. It's enough to give Yu Dong a headache. Right now, all we need to do is finish "One Man's Martial Arts", and we'll be one step ahead."
Liu Wei said.
Honey and her apprentice Zhang Li both understood. Liu Wei wasn't blinded by anger, he was still focused on the movie, everything else could wait.
...
After Liu Wei was challenged, the news quickly spread throughout the entertainment industry, even the video was leaked.
As the saying goes, there are no secrets that can't be kept, the inside story of Zhang Jin instigating Yu Dong to have Tony Jia challenge Liu Wei was eventually exposed.
For a while, Zhang Jin was heavily criticized on Weibo and social media!
Especially by the Honeybees!
Honey's fans were incredibly strong, they directly bombarded Zhang Jin on Weibo!
His reputation plummeted even further!
Liu Wei didn't have time to pay attention to these things, because he was busy filming with Chen De Sen and Donnie Yen, split into two groups.
One group A, one group B!
Group A was handled by Chen De Sen and Donnie Yen, while group B was handled by Liu Wei.
...
Group B's first scene!
Xie Miao's debut!
He played a brilliant martial artist who taught and passed on his skills, specializing in Hung Gar Kung Fu!
After teaching his students for the day, he closed the martial arts school and rode his bike home!
As he passed through an alley, a bamboo pole suddenly flew from ahead, aimed straight at his vital spot. Xie Miao didn't dodge or avoid, he punched it with a single blow!
The bamboo pole shattered into pieces...
In this scene, Xie Miao's actions, as the Hung Gar Kung Fu prodigy, were all designed by Liu Wei!
He designed several very eye-catching sequences for him, as the opening scene, if the movie was a hit, it would definitely be memorable!
...
"Hung Gar, nothing special!"
After the Hung Gar prodigy, played by Xie Miao, unleashed his strongest attack, Feng Yu Xiu, played by Liu Wei, finished him off with a single punch!
After watching the Hung Gar prodigy fall to the ground, he turned and left coldly...
...
The opening scene was clean and crisp, without any hesitation, it was a life-and-death struggle, every move was brutal!
From start to finish, it was a fight until the Hung Gar prodigy died.
This scene, whether it was a long shot, medium shot, close-up, extreme close-up... the switching of the shots was seamless and flawless, it was brilliantly shot!
"Honey, you fought so beautifully."
When Liu Wei watched the playback, Yang Mi was even more excited than him. She never thought that her husband's big screen debut would be so perfect.
Such a talented husband, but he'd been acting in romance dramas all this time, what a waste!
But she was grateful, that such a perfect husband was hers!
"Honey, I think my performance was alright."
Liu Wei smiled.
"Pretty good, when it's my turn, you gotta film me looking just as good!"
Yang Mi said.
"Xie Miao, you sit in the middle, watch the playback, see if there's anything that needs improvement. If you want to fight even better, I don't mind filming it again."
Liu Wei said.
"Ah, master, there's no need for that, re-filming over and over again is Wang Jing's style, we can't do that."
As soon as Zhang Li heard this, her long legs instantly went weak. If he was so strict, she was afraid she wouldn't perform well and would be scolded.
"What are you afraid of, good things are made by honing them."
Liu Wei said.
"Wei Ge, I'm very satisfied. I originally thought I was just a cameo, that I would be instantly killed. I didn't expect you to give me such a big part at the beginning."
To have a full five minutes of action in the opening scene of a big budget movie, that was truly a sign of being heavily favored.
"You deserve it, this project is just a test of the waters. Once it breaks through, there will be even more resources waiting for you."
Liu Wei said.
...
After the Hung Gar martial artist was killed, Lu Xuan Xin, playing the chief inspector of the serious crimes unit, appeared, starting to examine the body!
But he couldn't find any clues, that's when he remembered Xia Hou Wu, who was locked up in prison.
Then Xia Hou Wu appeared!
According to the original version, Xia Hou Wu's appearance was very flat, just a dialogue with Lu Xuan Xin. This part of the plot design is clearly not impressive enough!
As an action movie, it's essential to showcase Xia Hou Wu's strength and courage!
So in this version, Xia Hou Wu's role was expanded. The prison scenes, where the inmates were all vicious criminals, death was a daily occurrence, so fighting was normal!
The prison action scenes were jointly designed by Chen De Sen, Donnie Yen, and Liu Wei.
...
"Bullet brother, don't feel pressured, I believe you can handle the prison scenes."
After visiting Donnie Yen, Liu Wei encouraged him.
Donnie Yen felt helpless, he couldn't deny that age was catching up to him. It wasn't that he wasn't great, it was that Liu Wei was too strong.
So for the prison fight scenes, he had to take some shortcuts!
Taking his physical condition into consideration, he had to compromise!
...
Liu Wei didn't stay to watch, instead, he returned to group B to continue filming.
...
After filming began, time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Because group B's filming was incredibly efficient, with the help of the storyboard Liu Wei created, everyone was able to finish in one take!
This significantly shortened the filming cycle.
While "One Man's Martial Arts" progressed smoothly, "Wolf Warrior 2" was not so lucky, it was constantly encountering accidents.
Either Zhang Jin was injured, or Wu Yue was injured!
After replacing Tony Jia, Wu Yue was under a lot of pressure, afraid of performing poorly and being replaced. So he was trying too hard, resulting in the crew's inadequate safety precautions, and he got hurt.
With both leads injured, Wu Jing was also forced to stop filming.
In half a month, they hadn't even managed to film a few scenes!
Yu Dong was so furious that he was swearing.
...
One day, after Liu Wei finished filming the scene where he beat up the action star, someone came to visit the set.
It was Cai Shao Fen!
Seeing Cai Shao Fen, Honey's expression wasn't very good.
Although she had attended her wedding, what her husband had done still made Yang Mi resentful.
"Wei Di, can we talk?"
Cai Shao Fen looked pleadingly.
"What do you have to talk about with my husband?"
Yang Mi snorted.
"I know Zhang Jin did something wrong, but he's already been punished. He's been getting bad reviews on Weibo and in the industry. If things continue to escalate, he'll never get to be a lead actor again..."
Cai Shao Fen said.
"What does that have to do with me?"
Liu Wei teased.
"I won't take up too much of your time, just give me ten minutes. For the sake of our friendship with Auntie, can you?"
Cai Shao Fen said pitifully.
The Auntie she was referring to was Liu Wei's mother, Li Mi Ying.
Seeing her bring up her mother-in-law, Yang Mi couldn't say anything.
...
Makeup room.
As soon as Liu Wei and Cai Shao Fen entered, before Liu Wei could react, Cai Shao Fen undressed herself.
She returned to her naked state.
Then she knelt down!
...
From yesterday until now, the flowers and evaluation votes haven't moved.
Damn, this is so sad.
I'm sincerely asking, brothers, vote, let's see how many people are still reading!
