Chapter 1132 Being an actor is really much more tiring than cooking
For Xu Zhuo, making videos is already a familiar way.
But today's video shooting is a little different, in short......
It's a big battle!
Macro camera, 4K 60 frame HD camera, electric slide rail, electronic jib, electric gimbal, studio-level fill light, as well as a camera team and makeup team specially invited from Beijing.
Is this a food video?
Xu Zhuo felt that this battle was enough to shoot a big movie.
"Boss Xu, time is a little tight today, can you change your clothes and makeup first?"
When Xu Zhuo was shocked, the two makeup artists and stylists from the capital took the initiative to come over and give Xu Zhuo a complete suit to urge him to change into it.
This......
It's just a video of cooking, what are you going to do when you change clothes?
But since they put it forward, they will change it themselves, and on the way to it, Yuan Kang said that he would have to listen to his arrangement today.
Xu Zhuo came to the next room, where a pair of leather shoes had been arranged.
There was no air conditioning in this room, and it was a little hot, so Xu Zhuo just changed his pants and shirt, and walked out of it with a suit jacket.
He didn't understand why he had to wear a suit on such a hot day.
Isn't this a toss-up?
But the two makeup artists didn't say much, and pulled Xu Zhuo to start styling.
Today, Xu Zhuo simply washed his face, did not shave his beard, and did not take care of his hair.
But with the stylist there, everything is fine.
The stubble was removed, the eyebrows were trimmed, the excess eyebrows were shaved off, and the hair was re-trimmed, which made Xu Zhuo's handsomeness increase a few points again.
This made Xu Zhuo speechless, is it necessary to do styling?
After a while, I put on a chef's hat and covered everything, just like I didn't take care of it.
As a result, Yuan Kang came over to him and said that in addition to shooting videos, he would also take another set of photos and put them in the online store and Weibo for publicity, so let Xu Zhuo pay attention to it.
Xu Zhuo didn't expect it to be so troublesome, but the matter has come to this point, so he can only do it.
After putting on makeup, Xu Zhuo came to the room where the video was filmed, and the interior had been rearranged at this time.
The background in the back has been replaced with a black cloth, so that the photos taken are more textured.
The fill light on the head was replaced with a more powerful and more uniform type of fill light, and when everything was ready, it was time to start taking photos.
I don't know where Yuan Kang invited the photographer, not only has good skills, but also speaks with humor.
Their humor is not the kind that makes people laugh, but makes people laugh when they hear it, and then the other party seizes the opportunity to press the shutter.
The capture was very timely.
While shooting, they also taught Xu Zhuo to pose in various poses, which made Xu Zhuo feel like taking wedding photos.
After the photo of the suit was taken, a group of photos of Xu Zhuo wearing a chef's uniform were taken, and then there were those who were in charge, cutting vegetables, washing vegetables, and even putting them out of the pot and putting them on the plate.
Anyway, I took a lot of photos, and if I talk about film, I've already taken no less than three rolls of photos.
After the photo shoot, the makeup artist touched up the makeup, and the stylist also grabbed the hair from the chef's hat crushed.
Then it's time to shoot the video.
This video is also very artistic, starting with Xu Zhuo entering the door, followed by changing into a chef's uniform, wearing a chef's hat, and finally tidying up and tidying up his clothes.
After doing this, Xu Zhuo stood in front of the workbench and entered the opening remarks.
Originally, this opening remark was simply to say hello to everyone and talk about the dishes to be made today, but today because there were many people present and there were many equipment, Xu Zhuo stuck several times before he finished the opening remarks.
After finishing the opening remarks, Xu Zhuo began to introduce the ingredients to be used today.
The beef tendon meat is ready, and other spices and spices are also ready.
Xu Zhuo only needs to introduce these ingredients and then re-marinate them in the same way as they make sauced beef.
It's easy to say, but it's ...... when you do it
"Stop, Boss Xu, you need to have a slow motion here, so you need to repeat the action just now. ”
"Eh, this expression is good, Boss Xu, you try it again, let's take it for use as material." ”
"Stop, stop, you need to take a close-up shot when you put the beef in the basin, Boss Xu, can you make a closer look at it, exaggerate it, so that it will be more attractive to shoot a close-up. ”
......
From the beginning of filming to the present, Xu Zhuo has not finished a single shooting action.
It's all these patchwork shots, and when he stops for a while, he is physically and mentally exhausted, and he is more tired than frying thirty servings of fish-flavored shredded pork in a row.
But those cameramen were very satisfied, and even asked Xu Zhuo if he was interested in developing in the film and television industry during the shooting, as far as Xu Zhuo's acting skills were more professional than ordinary actors.
Of course, the major mentioned here is that Xu Zhuo is more professional in cooking, and it is indeed a bit difficult to let the actors do this.
But Xu Zhuo did this, it was completely subconscious, and there was no deliberate performance, so it was more real and natural.
For the development of the film and television industry, Xu Zhuo naturally refused.
After all, there are no connections, no strength and no resources, even if you plunge headlong, there will only be two results, one is to become a puppet of the brokerage company, and the other is to keep crawling at the bottom of the film and television industry and lose all your popularity.
Neither result said what Xu Zhuo wanted, so it was better to open a restaurant honestly.
After filming the corned beef, Yuan Kang soon brought a pot of beef tendon meat that had been marinated for twenty-four hours.
This is what he brought from the back kitchen of the restaurant, and he will have to send it back when he comes out of the marinated beef later, because the sauce beef in the restaurant is available in limited quantities, not to mention the staff, even the management can't eat it.
Xu Zhuo put the two pots of beef tendon meat together and adjusted the position, so that the pot that had been marinated for 24 hours made the same shape as the one that had just been pickled.
In this way, I will continue to shoot the braised beef, and when I make the video, I only need to add subtitles after 24 hours.
It's very simple.
When marinating, there are also various repeated shooting, adding water to reshoot, turning on the fire to reshoot, and even boiling water in the pot has to shoot twice, which makes Xu Zhuo really feel the difficulty of being an actor.
When it was time to start marinating, they took a bunch of close-ups around the stove.
All morning, Xu Zhuo took photos and videos under the command of others, and his shirt was wet with sweat and dried by the cold air of the air conditioner.
It's really more tiring than being busy in the store for a week in a row.
However, the harvest is also good, not only did he complete the filming of the sauced beef, but also came over to be an actor.
At noon, Xu Zhuo invited everyone to have a hard meal in the restaurant, and a full table of various signature dishes was served, so that everyone called Boss Xu atmospheric.
Even the cameraman said that if he had a chance in the future, he would introduce a few directors to Xu Zhuo.
When the time comes, if you need to make a movie about cooking or a chef, you can let Xu Zhuo make a cameo.
Xu Zhuo agreed, and toasted him with two glasses of wine.
However, toasting is toasting, Xu Zhuo didn't think he could really make a cameo in the movie, but he couldn't help but show that he was given face.
But Yuan Kang took it seriously, not only gave the cameraman an extra red envelope, but also prepared a lot of snacks for him in the Sifang Restaurant.
If Xu Zhuo can show his face in a certain movie, even if the Sifang Restaurant pays for it, Yuan Kang thinks it is worth it.
After all, this kind of high-end advertising placement is hard to come by, even if it is only one percent possible, you have to try to fight for it.
