Hong Kong films: Starting from Shaolin Temple

Page 93

"Crack!"

"Next shot."

"action!"

Director Cheng Xiaodong really liked this one-take shooting style; it was so smooth.

Long Yan found the golden Buddha, but it was covered with snakes, which startled him, and he shouted.

Hearing the commotion, Wang Xian'er flew over!

Flying close to the ground.

Light and supple, a wisp of a ghost.

It is aesthetically pleasing.

Of course, props were used in this scene.

Wang Xian'er was 2.2 meters behind Long Yan, lying on the grass, her face perfectly intersecting with Long Yan's profile, making for a beautiful shot.

"Where is the Golden Buddha?" Wang Xian'er asked with a slight smile.

"There it is, but there are snakes," Long Yan pointed ahead.

There was nothing in front of him, of course.

The image of snakes entwined around a golden Buddha was added in post-production.

Wang Xian'er gently blew a breath, and a cloud of white mist floated out of her mouth, killing all the snakes.

That white mist is real!

However, it wasn't magic power, but rather the smoke from cigarettes.

Wang Xian'er had just taken a puff of a menthol-flavored women's cigarette, which even made her choke.

Although she disliked the smell of cigarettes, she went all out for the sake of filming.

After finding the golden Buddha, Long Yan prepared to return to his house.

But Wang Xian'er suddenly shouted, starting the next scene of the script.

"oops!"

"My foot was bitten by a snake, it hurts so much!"

As she spoke, she lifted her skirt, revealing her smooth, fair legs.

A snake was coiled around it, biting into the skin, leaving behind bright red blood...

Long Yan immediately grabbed the venomous snake, threw it away, and asked, reciting his lines:

"Are you okay?"

"I've been poisoned." Wang Xian'er frowned, her breathing rapid, her acting very convincing. She lifted her skirt again and urged, "I've been poisoned."

"Hurry up and suck the poison out for me with your mouth..."

071 Director, we're not making an erotic film!

Wang Xian'er lifted her skirt.

Her long legs were exposed, her feet were bare, and bells were tied to her ankles; she possessed an innate allure.

She urged Long Yan to help her heal her wounds and suck out the snake venom.

She plays the female ghost Xiao Zhuo. According to the script, she is supposed to pretend to be bitten by a poisonous snake and have a young monk suck out the venom.

Long Yan looked at Wang Xian'er's calves,

A bright red bloodstain ran across her smooth, fair skin.

The wound from the snake bite is bleeding.

Of course, the blood was all props, and the wounds were fake.

This scene is just too tempting.

"Do you really want to inhale it?" Long Yan hesitated for a moment.

He portrayed the inner turmoil of the young monk Shifang.

He was afraid of breaking his vows because of women.

This is just a plot point from A Chinese Ghost Story 3.

If this were to happen in real life...

Long Yan would definitely retort, "Aren't you a female ghost? How can you be bitten by a poisonous snake?"

Xiao Zhuo! You're such a drama queen!

It must be said that Wang Xian'er truly portrayed the female ghost Xiao Zhuo in a playful and adorable way.

Even though everyone knew she was faking it, she wasn't pretentious at all; on the contrary, she was incredibly charming, which added to the appeal of the female ghost Xiao Zhuo's character.

"Please, hurry up!"

"Oops~"

Seeing Long Yan hesitate, Wang Xian'er began to plead for help in a pitiful manner, following the script.

"Waaaaah, I'm being poisoned."

"I'm dizzy."

Wang Xian'er's coquettish tone made it impossible for any man to resist her.

Long Yan leaned down and bit Wang Xian'er's calf, sucking out the snake venom from the wound.

The taste is a little sweet!

The poisonous blood on Wang Xian'er's leg was made with tomato sauce and was edible.

While Long Yan was sucking out the snake venom

Wang Xian'er lay on her side in the grass, her forehead resting on her arm, striking a lazy pose, and smiled slightly, a hint of smugness in her expression.

These details and subtle expressions greatly enhance her ghostly image, making her very adorable.

"Is it okay?"

Long Yan inhaled for a minute, then looked up and asked,

The scene only lasted ten seconds in the movie, but the director needed to capture a more perfect shot, so he had Long Yan maintain the posture of sucking snake venom for a minute.

The moment Long Yan looked up, Wang Xian'er immediately changed from her smug state to frowning, adopting a weak and submissive demeanor, and said:

"Okay, thank you."

She acted out a sense of guilt because the wound was fake.

"No need to thank me, the wounds are all fake anyway." Long Yan read his lines and sat up.

Its mouth was covered in red jam, making it look like it had drunk a lot of blood.

Then, he wiped his lips with his sleeve and swallowed all the jam.

Although it's just a very ordinary tomato sauce, it tastes quite good.

After all, this was ketchup bitten off Wang Xian'er's leg.

They're not eating ketchup, they're eating legs!

The taste is definitely different.

Just like the "human sashimi" popular in Japan, is it actually sashimi that you're eating?

"Why did you still swallow that blood?" Wang Xian'er pointed at Long Yan, recited her lines, and made a surprised expression.

"I'll grant your wish." Long Yan recited his lines seriously, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction, after all, the other party had lied to him.

But it's also full of affection, so of course I forgive her.

Such a beautiful and adorable female ghost, I was willing to be deceived by her.

Long Yan's emotions were spot on.

Acting in a movie you've seen dozens of times is really too easy.

"Oh no! The wound was fake, but the snake venom was real!"

Wang Xian'er recited her lines with a worried look on her face, trying to intimidate Long Yan.

"What?!" Long Yan's face showed surprise, his expression perfectly conveying the emotion.

Very dramatic!

Even if Long Yan had never studied acting,

However, because he was familiar with the plot and his co-star was Wang Xian'er, he was able to get into character very easily.

However, I still really want to complain that it's just ketchup.

"Let me suck it out for you."

Wang Xian'er leaned closer to Long Yan and uttered a wild and inappropriate remark.

Long Yan covered his mouth, took a step back, and protested:

"No, that has to be mouth-to-mouth."

"How could it not work? You'll die if the poison takes effect." Wang Xian'er pulled Long Yan's hand away, her advances full of allure, reciting lines with seductive language:

"Just don't treat me like a woman."

"Then who should I think you are?" Long Yan also recited his lines, covering his mouth with both hands in strong protest.

"Consider me your master," Wang Xian'er said softly, gently pulling Long Yan's hand away.

"My master won't kiss me mouth-to-mouth." Long Yan covered his face with his sleeve, portraying the awkwardness of the young monk Shi Fang.

Even though it wasn't acting, Long Yan was still a little nervous.

He knew very well that a kissing scene was about to happen.
