“The General’s Lonely Daughter” doesn’t feature many snow scenes, so if you miss it this year, you’ll have to wait until next year.
Sam Symons, the director, naturally hopes to finish filming the snow scenes quickly, so he can’t help but feel anxious and impatient.
After being publicly reprimanded, Mia Stuart feels extremely embarrassed. Even though she feels wronged, she can only repeatedly apologize, saying, “I’m sorry, director, let’s do it again.”
Once the props were set up, Veronica Murphy and Eviette Robins began their intense performance, and this scene went smoothly.
Next is the fight scene with the three of them. The martial arts director and the assistant martial arts director were there to guide, and everything went smoothly.
“Alright, Wanxing, take a break. Let Xiaotian handle the rest of the scenes, Sam Symons instructed. Xiaotian is a stunt double, a girl who grew up in the Shaolin Temple since childhood, and she is particularly hardworking and diligent.
Eviette Robins nodded slightly and looked at Xiaotian, who was walking over. She approached and said, “Xiaotian, I’m really sorry. I’m having my period, otherwise I wouldn’t let you work so hard.”
The stunt double named Xiaotian smiled and shook her head, “Miss Robins, please don’t say that. It’s my honor to be your double.”
“You’ve worked hard.”
Eviette Robins reached out and brushed the wind-blown hair on Xiaotian’s forehead. “Keep it up and try to get it right in one take.”
“Thank you, Miss Robins. You’re really kind.” Xiaotian smiled sweetly and asked, “Can I take a photo with you?”
“Of course.” Eviette Robins had a friendly smile that made people feel she had no star attitude. After taking the Best Actress photo, the two continued filming.
In the fight scene, Liora Sterling and Zhao Ru attacked Jade Garcia on the shore. Zhao Ru kicked Jade Garcia, and she did a backflip, landing on a flat boat in the lake. Liora Sterling also leaped forward and landed lightly on the flat boat, continuing the fight. She cut the boat in half with a sword, and Jade Garcia fell directly into the water.
As the third female lead, Mia Stuart, who played Zhao Ru, took the opportunity to kick Veronica Murphy hard. But Veronica Murphy seemed to anticipate Mia Stuart’s retaliation, so at the moment when her foot touched Mia Stuart’s clothes, she did a sudden backflip and fell directly into the flat boat on the water from the shore.
Because she was suspended by a wire, Veronica Murphy was as light as a swallow and landed steadily.
The camera switched, and the stunt double Xiaotian also leaped forward, stepping on the railing and flying towards the lake. Because she was suspended by a wire, the force of landing on the flat boat was not strong, so she could easily stand steady.
“Click!”
As the director shouted “Cut!”, the surrounding crew members applauded. Sam Symons stood at the railing with a smile on his face, holding a megaphone and saying, “Very clean and precise, you and Xiaotian are indeed skilled, it looks effortless.”
The visual experience of fight scenes created by professional martial arts actors and special effects is completely different.
Nowadays, the film and television industry prefers to use popular stars, and the films they make rely heavily on special effects and post- production. They cut corners and are truly unbearable to watch.
Seeing Veronica Murphy being praised, Mia Stuart clenched her fists in anger. She finally had the opportunity to kick Veronica Murphy hard and seek revenge, but who knew that Veronica Murphy reacted quickly and dodged it.
Because the actual situation between the two of them was confrontational, and the emotions of the characters in the play cleverly merged with their current emotions, the scene was smoothly completed.
“Props team, get ready, we’re going to film the water scene next.” Sam Symons shouted through the megaphone, and then yelled at the crew, “Turn on the heaters in the warming tent and get the rescue team ready.”
The next scene to be filmed is crucial. It’s a winter water scene, which poses a very high challenge and requires a lot of strength from the actors.
Eviette Robins stood aside, holding a cup of coffee in her left hand but telling the person next to her that it was brown sugar water. After all, she had informed everyone that her “monthly period” had arrived. In her right hand, she held a hand warmer, wrapped in a down jacket, looking frail and weak.
