Chapter 255 1~2~3~start!
"No, this is my first time. I hope I don't make a fool of myself later."
Du Ruo looked at the makeup artist fiddling with his head curiously while replying to Ajun.
"Haha, that's such a pity. Master Du has such a good image and temperament. If he enters the entertainment industry, he will surely become famous soon."
Ajun looked at Du Ruo's face and to be honest, he felt a little envious. Standing among ordinary people, Du Ruo really stood out a bit. Even though he was not earth-shatteringly handsome, his temperament could make people lock on to him at first sight.
"Yes, she doesn't even need to wear any makeup. Teacher Du...Teacher Du has the best skin I've ever seen. Even actresses in their twenties don't have skin like Teacher Du."
The makeup artist's eyes were full of envy as he spoke. He was now fixing Du Ruo's hairstyle. Originally, some powder was needed to make Du Ruo look more photogenic, but with the powder puff in hand, he didn't even know where to start. He even felt a little sorry for the fact that Du Ruo needed to look more mature.
"Master Du practices internal martial arts?"
Ajun saw Du Ruo's complexion and the condition of his body muscles, and he was also envious. Few of these action stars were in particularly good health, and injuries were common. Their complexions were far worse than Du Ruo's.
"I'm familiar with all kinds of boxing, kicking and weapon skills, but my understanding of Xingyiquan is a little deeper."
Du Ruo's words sounded a bit modest, but to others they sounded a bit arrogant.
Even athletes at the Wuying level don't dare to say the word "all", and it's really hard to believe that Du Ruo has dabbled in all.
"Um, haha, then I'd like to ask you for advice when I have time. It just so happens that I have always been interested in Xingyiquan, but I never had the chance to learn it."
Ajun also felt that Du Ruo's words were a bit exaggerated, but he still praised Du Ruo politely.
"Your foundation is the Tiger and Crane Double Form, right? It's good to practice Xingyi, but your muscles are still a little too stiff. It's easy to go astray if you practice Xingyi right away. You can practice Tai Chi or Bagua first, which will make you firm but also gentle. In this way, the practice will definitely be more entertaining."
Du Ruo didn't even turn his head and just said something lightly at the end.
At this moment, he closed his eyes and let the makeup artist trim his eyebrows. His image today needed to be more domineering, and Du Ruo looked somewhat friendly now, so his eyebrows needed to be slightly trimmed.
The makeup artist and Xiang Yuanyuan didn't think anything of what Du Ruo said.
But Ajun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no word came out.
He now understood why Wu Jing said that Du Ruo was a martial arts master.
The first martial art he practiced was the Tiger-Crane Double Form, a type of Southern boxing, a typical southern hard-style Kung Fu, so his muscles were very well-shaped, but he became famous for the Bajiquan in the movies.
Because of his muscular body, he is very adept at practicing Bajiquan, a powerful boxing style, which led everyone to think that he mainly practiced Bajiquan.
Unexpectedly, Du Ruo pointed out the truth, and some well-known martial arts instructors also told him that his muscles were too strong and asked him to practice Tai Chi to make his martial arts moves more beautiful.
This vision alone is worthy of his admiration.
"Master Du's comments are very insightful. I admire you!!!"
In the end, Ajun just bowed and said something admiringly, but that was all. After all, he and Du Ruo were just casual acquaintances, so it was not appropriate for him to ask for advice or anything like that.
"Haha, Master Du is not only good at commenting, he is also a master of practical combat who can kill an armed gangster with his bare hands."
At this time, Wu Jing's voice sounded from outside. While speaking, he had already appeared in the dressing room and apologized to Du Ruo:
"Master Du, I was filming just now. I'm sorry I didn't come to pick you up in person."
"Just don't think that I, a newcomer, will cause you trouble."
Du Ruo smiled, and at this time the makeup artist had already fixed the shape of her eyebrows.
"Okay, that's it. Teacher Du has a great image, and putting on makeup will have the opposite effect. Now you can try on some clothes."
The makeup artist looked at Du Ruo, put away her eyebrow pencil, and went to the side to get clothes. At this time, Du Ruo's eyebrow shape had changed, and she looked more heroic.
The three of them were chatting in the dressing room, and Du Ruo had changed his clothes by the way. It can't be said that Du Ruo's appearance at this time has changed drastically, but he has become a lot more handsome and more mature.
It is true that Du Ruo can put on makeup, but his makeup is mainly for disguise. He has never thought about becoming handsome. The aesthetic taste of makeup artists is much better, and this has allowed Du Ruo to learn a lot.
"Tsk, Master Du, try to make your eyes more stern, just like the way you said in the yard that day, 'Go out, knock on the door and come in'. This will be more in line with the character's image."
When Wu Jing saw Du Ruo changed his clothes and looked like a kung fu master, he remembered the inspiration for designing this character for Du Ruo.
He had watched the replay of Du Ruo's live broadcast. He always felt that when Du Ruo said this to Qiao Qili, he was really domineering and very impressive. At least it left a very deep impression on him.
"Is that so?"
Hearing Wu Jing's request, the smile on Du Ruo's face disappeared, his eyes turned cold, he glanced at Wu Jing and said lightly.
It has to be said that Du Ruo's image changed drastically at this moment. He no longer had the gentleness he had before, and became very aggressive.
"That's it. Just remember to maintain this state. Let's go to the set. I'll tell you about your upcoming appearance." Wu Jing was very satisfied with Du Ruo's expression. It was exactly the same as what he had imagined when he designed the character.
When they arrived at the set, Wu Jing began to explain the play to Du Ruo in person in front of everyone.
"Master Du, you will need to fly over from that bungalow later. You will pass several bungalows in the middle. When you are in the air, you need to look more graceful and show your Qinggong skills."
Wu Jing used gestures to describe Du Ruo's opening statement, and in order to reassure Du Ruo, he added:
"Master Du, don't worry. You will be suspended by wires. You just need to do a few moves."
"That's no problem. I'm the best at it."
Du Ruo nodded and agreed directly.
"Then try it first?"
Wu Jing saw Du Ruo nod and immediately made a proposal.
"it is good."
Du Ruo didn't say much, just nodded. He was a newcomer here and obeyed the instructions completely.
The next step was to bring Du Ruo to the rooftop and put him on the wire rope. In fact, the scene would have been better shot if shot outside, but now it was too late due to Du Ruo's time constraints, so they could only make do with shooting inside the film and television city.
"Master Du, let's hang you up first so you can get familiar with it."
Wu Jing stood aside, looking at Du Ruo who was already tied up with the wire, wanting Du Ruo to get used to it.
"Row."
Du Ruo twisted his waist, adjusted himself, and then nodded in agreement.
The wire rope is a collaboration between humans and machines. The person is pulled up manually with a rope, and the height of the wire rope can be adjusted at any time. Then the mechanical guide rail moves the person forward. It is easy to injure the person and cause an accident if a person is simply lifted by a machine.
"Okay, now 123~"
However, after the five staff members who were pulling Du Ruo's rope shouted a signal, they pulled the rope back together, trying to lift Du Ruo up, but despite the efforts of the five people, Du Ruo did not move at all.
"Wow~ Did you use all your strength on the woman? Even if you try hard, you can't pull it up. How are you going to control the height later!!!"
When the assistant director saw that the five people had not been able to pull Du Ruo up, he thought that the five people were not working hard enough and could not help but scold them. At this time, Wu Jingke, the director and the leading actor, who was also the investor, was still watching from the side, so he pointed at the three people on the side:
"You all go together, I'll shout the slogan: 1...2...3...start~~"
"Hey~~"
As a result... eight people pulled the rope, even making it creak, but Du Ruo remained motionless.
"Stop for a moment. Well, Master Du, how about you cooperate a little? If you use the heavy weight, it will easily break the rope."
At this time, Wu Jing on the side stopped the eight people who were still trying hard, wiped his forehead, walked to Du Ruo and said something. He also practiced Tai Chi, and saw it very clearly just now. He was about to pull Du Ruo up, but Du Ruo's breath sank, and the Tai Chi Thousand Jin Weight was used, so he remained motionless.
"I'm sorry, when I was about to leave the ground, my body couldn't adapt and I sank instinctively. It really wasn't intentional."
Du Ruo was a little embarrassed. To be honest, it was really his problem. He weighed more than 300 pounds, and it was not easy for these people to pull him. He even used a heavy weight to increase the difficulty.
But it's really not his fault. For martial artists, the most important thing is to get the power from the ground, and keeping your feet on the ground is the most important thing. It's normal for him to instinctively resist when his body is lifted up passively.
"Hiss, that's a bit difficult."
Wu Jing didn't blame Du Ruo, nor did he blame those who pulled the rope. He just frowned and thought about countermeasures.
"How about this? Those wall-climbing skills you mentioned aren't actually that difficult. How about I try it without the wirework?"
Du Ruo originally wanted to come to the crew, then follow all instructions and try not to cause trouble to the crew, but now it seems that this is not feasible, so he might as well pretend to be cool to the end.
"???"
Wu Jing did not answer, but just looked at the distance between the buildings with a look of shock and confusion. He really did not doubt Du Ruo. In fact, the distance between each bungalow was only more than three meters. He had no doubt that Du Ruo could jump over, but what he wanted was a chic appearance by flying over the eaves and walls, which was not something that could be done by simply jumping over.
"Well, let's try it first!!"
But soon, Wu Jing gritted his teeth and nodded. Since Du Ruo dared to say it, he would let Du Ruo try it. He also wanted to see if Du Ruo could do it.
"The camera crew adjusted the camera position and prepared to shoot."
Wu Jing personally stepped forward to untie the wire on Du Ruo, then stepped back and signaled the crew to prepare for filming.
Under everyone's bewildered gazes, Du Ruo stretched his body and prepared to make a classy appearance in front of everyone.
