“Handsome what handsome, I always feel that this time is a bit dangerous. Look, even Zhang Fan who specializes in this had an accident. What if something happens to you…”
Although Director Ji’s projects can be sold abroad and have considerable influence overseas, with large investments and only shooting a movie every few years, the recruitment of female actors is not very enthusiastic.
Director Ji’s films mainly feature a strong male lead, with a heavy emphasis on martial arts. Even in ensemble pieces, he requires supporting roles to have certain martial arts or dance foundations. There are two types of female actors in his films: one is the vase, and the other is the fighter. The so-called vase, of course, needs to be good-looking, neat and well-organized. She is the male lead’s lover and his safe harbor. After being caught by the bad guys, she just needs to be tied up and scream ‘Help’. But even for this type, the scenes inevitably include falls and fights, and severe cases might end up in an ambulance. The fighter, needless to say, jumps up and down, performing various dangerous stunts, and it’s genuinely life-threatening if care is not taken.
Because of the difficult production and high demands, Director Ji’s output has noticeably decreased in recent years. However, as long as he shoots with dedication, his films are the champions of the Spring Festival slot, especially suitable for family-friendly projects.
Xia Siyu has read the script; this time she plays a female constable. She adores her superior (the male lead) but has yet to confess her feelings as they undertake a mission together. It requires her to be both beautiful and capable of fighting. The character is well-developed, one of the rare female leads in Director Ji’s recent films. Originally, they wanted to find an actress with an upright and cold demeanor for the role, and Shang Feifei would be more suitable in terms of appearance.
But Xia Siyu has studied dance and practiced boxing. How well she boxed is another question, but at least she has the muscles and posture. The dances she learned were not classical dances that are soft like noodles, but standard, cowboy, and Rumba dances that require the dancer to have strength and strong core power. Coupled with her wild and fierce reputation, observers would believe she could knock someone out with one punch.
As long as she drops the innocence of school dramas and the sexiness of period dramas, she should perform well.
As for the risk factor, Director Ji has shown it to her. For instance, there’s a ten-meter high ledge, approximately the height of a three-story building, where she needs to jump off. There’s also horse riding, being tied and dragged behind a horse. Additionally, there are jumps on a wooden path along a cliffside, where the path is a protected cultural relic with sheer drops on either side, making accidents easy even with safety rigs. To achieve realism, they’ll use fewer special effects and fewer stunt doubles, so injuries are more likely.
Xia Siyu was nonchalant: “Of course, I know. But no worries, there are so many people on the set, and so many medical teams, wouldn’t I be sent to the hospital immediately if something really happens?”
This person! Who curses themselves like this? Bo Yan wanted to persuade further, but Xia Siyu cut in: “If it were you, would you give up such an opportunity?”
Bo Yan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it himself.
This was indeed a great opportunity, and Director Ji’s screenplay was always solid, with an experienced team to boot. Although it’s not associated with awards, it could definitely make a splash at the box office. If the role is also appealing, there really is no reason to refuse.
But Xia Siyu is just a woman, she…
