Chapter 296 The Elegant Intelligence Chief
Chapter 296 The Elegant Intelligence Chief
Ye Sanqing glanced at Chang Wenfeng, who had clearly also noticed something amiss.
Now is not the time to question Chang Wenfeng. Ye Sanqing stepped forward and took the whip from Liao Luo's hand.
"Teacher Liao, I'm sorry, please let me demonstrate."
Ye Sanqing nodded to him, and Liao Luo stepped aside.
Ye Sanqing folded the whip in half, held it in his hand, and swung it.
Indeed, this whip should be shortened and thickened, making it the opposite of the anchor chain of the Canglang Alliance.
Because the Canglang Alliance needs to represent the image of a "net of heaven and earth," while the Youming Manor represents precise control.
Since whips are usually used by women in movies and TV dramas, the action choreographer should have designed the action in accordance with this convention, as should the props department.
Moreover, the original book's description is quite abstract, such as "sweeping everyone with whips"... How exactly it would sweep them is something they need to consider now.
This kind of thing often happens when books are adapted into movies or TV series; Ye Sanqing is only experiencing it for the first time today.
So Ye Sanqing swung the whip down hard with both hands, as if she were using an axe.
With a "thud," a cloud of dust rose from the ground.
Everyone was shocked, not for any other reason than that the aura that swept away all living beings was too frightening.
Liao Luo seemed to understand something, and stared intently at Ye Sanqing.
Then Ye Sanqing's whip went to Xiao Zhang, with the end of the whip curling towards his ankle.
Xiao Zhang was prepared and cooperated by falling down.
The whip was used by Ye Sanqing like a lasso by a Western cowboy.
Xiao Zhang got up from the ground and suddenly realized what was going on.
So that's how it is! The Corpse Whisperer is male, and usually deals mostly with corpses, so his exertion should match the character's traits; it shouldn't be gentle, but rather explosive.
Ye Sanqing's demonstration illustrates the point.
Ye Sanqing beckoned Chang Wenfeng over, and Liao Luo also came over at this time, saying to Ye Sanqing, "Thank you for your help, Master Ye."
Ye Sanqing nodded, "You're welcome, Teacher Liao. But we'll probably still need to use this whip for the makeup trial tomorrow..."
She was pondering how to handle such a major change when Chang Wenfeng offered, "I'll have the props team work overtime to make them. If it's done in time, we can even give Teacher Liao a try this morning."
Chang Wenfeng felt genuinely ashamed; he hadn't even noticed such an obvious problem. But now, he was also filled with fighting spirit, not for any other reason than that he truly loved making props, and for him, creating perfect props was paramount.
I just don't know when that mindset was worn away by the repetitive work...
"Alright, let me point out a few key points. Teacher Liao probably can't use a whip like I did just now, but you have a solution for this kind of problem, right?"
Chang Wenfeng nodded, "The whip has a built-in control mechanism at the end, that's no problem. We can adjust it during filming. We also need to add weight so it can be used like a chain hammer."
He gestured, and although the whip and chain hammer were still somewhat different in shape, everyone understood what he meant.
"Well, and then there's the action design..."
Ye Sanqing continued.
In short, when considering the character of the Corpse Whisperer, we should take into account his sinister and violent nature, as well as his own power generation characteristics, such as using more shoulder and back strength and waist strength, rather than the soft power of the wrist and forearm.
There's no need for complicated whip techniques, because there's no need to dance for corpses... No, I mean his martial arts moves should be more focused on precisely hitting the target.
Using a whip, but going straight through, is also a challenge.
After the eight sect leaders finished their business, Ye Sanqing looked at the Demonic Sect leaders who were waiting on the side, including Sheng Hanyu.
Who wants to go first?
Those who had just received guidance remained, eager to see how Ye Sanqing would continue to instruct them, especially Chang Wenfeng, who felt the need to communicate more with Ye Sanqing!
"Teacher Sheng... Master Sheng, please go first."
The actor who plays Qing Zhang, who is one of the older actors, said this.
Sheng Hanyu had been watching from the sidelines the whole time. He knew he couldn't reach Ye Sanqing's level yet, so he needed to observe and learn more.
Upon hearing this, he did not refuse and stepped forward to take out his fan.
With a "whoosh," the fan unfolded.
Sheng Hanyu was gesturing in the arena. Ye Sanqing watched for a while, then suddenly turned to the side and said, "Can I borrow your dagger?"
Su Xingyi immediately handed her the dagger, then realized: What, has this entered the sparring phase ahead of schedule?
Why a dagger? Did Ye Sanqing also want to give her some pointers? Su Xingyi couldn't help but focus her attention on the two people in the arena.
Actually, Ye Sanqing just thought that the dagger was the most convenient tool for demonstration...
As Sheng Hanyu closed her fan and swung it diagonally downwards, she collided with Ye Sanqing's horizontal dagger.
“!” Sheng Hanyu saw her coming, but she didn’t tell him to stop, so of course he didn’t stop either.
I didn't expect Ye Sanqing to be in such a good mood today...
After Ye Sanqing blocked his downward swing, he immediately began to swing his daggers rapidly from all directions, dazzling everyone in a flurry of movements.
And Sheng Hanyu... really did block them all.
"Not bad," Ye Sanqing commented while attacking, "You did a great job on defense, but what about your offense?"
The character Sheng Hanyu is named Xiao Moyi, known in the martial arts world as "Crane Shadow Prince". He is directly under the sect leader Dugu Rang and manages the Fengyu Pavilion, independent of the other four pavilion masters.
In other words, he was an elegant intelligence chief.
The action choreographer designed movements that fit the character very well. His focus when using the fan was on opening and closing the fan surface and using the rotation force. The movements were more like swinging the racket than thrusting, and there were also defensive movements, just like catching Ye Sanqing's attack moves now.
Ye Sanqing meant that Sheng Hanyu's killing intent was insufficient.
Although outwardly elegant, the character of Crane Shadow Prince needs to conceal a deadly intent. These details are not only reflected in facial expressions and movements, but also need to be integrated into the martial arts actions, which is something that everyone needs to achieve.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Hanyu immediately closed her fan and waved it at Ye Sanqing.
He believed that Ye Sanqing could definitely block his attack, so he did not hold back his strength at all.
Ye Sanqing simply reversed his grip on the dagger to block him. "Come again, you can't kill me like this."
Sheng Hanyu immediately combined other techniques, took a step forward, and quickly kicked out with her left leg.
Ye Sanqing was faster. Instead of using a dagger, she spun around to avoid the attack and then did a backflip to create some distance between them.
This isn't Ye Sanqing's trick, but something Su Xingyi would use.
Su Xingyi: I knew this woman wanted to give me pointers...
Sheng Hanyu: You're really putting me in a difficult position.
However, he quickly reacted, rapidly closing in. He unfolded his fan again, blocking Ye Sanqing's dagger thrust, then quickly closed it to jam the dagger. He then used the rotational force to snatch the dagger away.
The dagger flew between the two men and fell to the ground.
Ye Sanqing said, "That's more like it."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Hanyu used a move he hadn't yet mastered: his fan spun out of his hand and flew straight towards Ye Sanqing's throat.
Everyone was surprised. Although the fan was a prop, it was still dangerous for it to fly out while spinning!
Where do these two seem to have any romantic involvement? Are they really going all out when acting together?
Those hoping for a sweet, romantic interaction between the two will be disappointed, but those who enjoy a love-hate relationship will be thrilled.
Moreover, this rotation is usually accompanied by control props and separate camera shots, so it's quite impressive that Sheng Hanyu can actually fly a fan.
Ye Sanqing didn't dodge; he caught the spinning fan as if he were catching an insect in mid-air.
