Chapter 294 5 colorful black
Fortunately, we discovered this problem the day before the makeup trial...
Ye Sanqing felt there were still many things she needed to pay attention to. Although it wasn't really her responsibility, her family had invested money after all, so she should still be mindful of things...
Ye Sanqing always assumed that everyone could get the hang of it after training, because she thought that using weapons was not difficult, and besides, there was so much time to study properly. She never thought that Li Yangyang would be in a situation where she practiced diligently but just couldn't learn it.
Ye Sanqing immediately led Xiao Zhang to the others.
Actually, the main actresses had already finished their individual training sessions in the afternoon, but the minor characters, who weren't the individual action choreographers, needed to take turns practicing, so they were still training.
Ye Sanqing texted Ren Junxiao as he walked, asking him to make the arrangements.
Speaking of which, the person in charge of the props team is actually a distant relative of Ye Sanqing...
Actually, no, she's a member of the Chang family, the same family as my aunt Chang Yangui.
This wasn't arranged by Ye Sanqing; rather, the Chang family specializes in unconventional weapons, but there's no practical need for them right now...
Thus, the Chang family business split into several sectors: an online store that makes props for cosplay, a content creator who popularizes ancient cold weapons, and a props team for film crews...
This is just right, since this industry is actually quite niche, and the Chang family is considered one of the top families in the industry because of its long-standing tradition.
Ren Junxiao only realized this problem after receiving a message from Ye Sanqing.
I was careless; I've never filmed a martial arts movie before... Ren Junxiao immediately contacted Dao Wu, since any major changes to the weapons would definitely need his approval. Qi Nanzhao also informed him.
Hopefully, there won't be any major changes... After contacting the other actors and saying that Ye Sanqing needed to review the training results, Ren Junxiao immediately rushed to the venue.
When he arrived, Ye Sanqing had already checked Lin Qianren and Su Xingyi's training results.
Lin Qianren had no problem at all; the sword was like an extended arm to her, moving naturally in any situation.
However, she also admitted that the weight could be increased a bit more to make it easier to handle.
Su Xingyi's dagger was fine, but the Crescent Moon Wheel was a bit difficult to master. However, this was a difficult skill to learn, and it was normal for her to be at this level since she was just starting out.
This is the opposite of Lin Qianren's sword; it needs to be modified to be thinner and lighter, otherwise it won't achieve that seemingly graceful, dancing feeling.
But since it was Su Xingyi's first time using this weapon, she couldn't very well offer suggestions for improvement before she had even mastered it, so she didn't say anything for the time being.
Chang Wenfeng from the props team has also arrived and is listening to Ye Sanqing give him his suggestions for revision.
Chang Yangui should be considered his paternal aunt; they are related by blood, but not by much.
Chang Wenfeng didn't take it too seriously at first, because his props were all made in strict accordance with the crew's requirements. But after listening to Ye Sanqing's opinion, he realized that his props team was not actually qualified.
Well... if it's a custom order, and the product is made and delivered according to the required dimensions, weight, materials, etc., then of course there won't be any problems.
The problem now is that the props department and the production crew are a whole, so sometimes it is necessary to offer professional advice.
It's not that he didn't want to bring it up; he did when he first started working, and of course... he got scolded and told a lowly prop maker like him not to worry about such things.
Moreover, the requests Chang Wenfeng usually hears are often fantastical, such as "Can this weapon make me look more ethereal?" or "Using this will ruin my image, don't you have any good-looking weapons?" and other similar bizarre and unsettling demands...
So he subconsciously assumed that was the case today, but he was used to being a wage earner, so he thought he could just modify it according to what they said.
As it turned out, Ye Sanqing's opinion was very professional.
Ye Sanqing... should be considered his distant cousin, although they are not related by blood, but that's how they should be addressed.
Chang Wenfeng was very happy to hear that Tang Qingshan had returned home, because Tang Qingshan often boasted to his old friends about how talented his granddaughter was.
But he had previously only thought that Ye Sanqing had a talent for boxing... Now that he sees it, she can use almost any weapon.
He had previously thought Tang Qiyuan was talking nonsense and that he was only speaking well of Ye Sanqing out of love for his sister, but it turns out it was the truth.
So when Ren Junxiao looked at Chang Wenfeng, he said, "No problem, Master Ye's suggestions for revision are very valuable, I will follow them."
Ren Junxiao thought to himself, "Your way of addressing me is rather polite..." But he understood; someone like Ye Sanqing would find it difficult to call her "sister."
Others arrived one after another. Although some people had some objections, since it was a break time, they all knew that Ye Sanqing was not the type to act recklessly, so they were quite cooperative.
So Ye Sanqing looked at them one by one. Apart from Li Yangyang's hairpin for the Lord of Lingxiao City, which had already been modified, the chime bells for the Master of Huanyin Pavilion were the first to be approved. This was because the other party had incorporated some martial arts movements into the dance, which had little to do with the chime bells themselves. As long as the chime bells were of standard specifications, it would be fine.
Lin Qianren and Su Xingyi simply stayed on the sidelines and watched.
Then there's the staff of the Bone Bodhisattva of Bodhi Temple, which is a bit special. It's mostly used for posing, since you wouldn't usually wave a staff to hit someone... This is a bit much.
The swords of the Heavenly Sword Sect are fine, and the sabers of the Crimson Flame Gang are fine too. These two are traditional weapons with established practice routines, so it's not easy to make mistakes.
Ji Wan, the Grand Master of the Canglang Alliance... Ye Sanqing found it rather amusing to see him wielding the iron chains.
Chains, seriously?
But martial arts dramas all have the concept of internal energy, so exaggerating it a bit is acceptable. The chain links will definitely have special effects added.
After all, descriptions like "infusing internal force, and the chain instantly straightened like a stick" are not something humans can do.
But Ji Wan at least needs to be able to swing his arms. He has plenty of strength, that's not a problem, and his movements are rough, that's acceptable too.
"Let's keep the chain's weight the same, but make it a little longer," Ye Sanqing said after considering the visual effect.
Knife Five: !
His original design was to wrap it around his waist twice and let the ends hang down to the ground, but the team's opinion during the initial design phase was that one wrap would be enough, since it would be too long to be photographed properly.
Considering practicality, Dao Wu compromised, but unexpectedly Ye Sanqing saw through the original design.
Ye Sanqing had read the original work and of course knew this, but the reason she was bringing it up now wasn't because of it. Rather, she felt that since there were visual effects of chains swinging and descriptions of people being tied up, a longer length would be better.
Ji Wan will probably have to practice even harder, since this is similar to a soft weapon. Even if it's only half a foot long, the point of force application will be very different, let alone two feet long.
Ji Wan didn't mind this; anyway, Master Ye must have a point!
What remains are the corpse-driving whip from Youming Manor and the judge's pen from Xuanji Pavilion...
Ye Sanqing looked at the Xuanji Pavilion Master with a slight sense of helplessness.
