Chapter 772: Strange Things
This year is the most prosperous spring in the film and television industry, when Morning Star was filming "The Legend of the Snail", during the same period, there were as many as 38 crews filming in Hengdian Film and Television City alone.
Among the actors who are filming, there are Wu Lina, who is not on good terms with Morning Star, and there are also old friends such as Gao Bin and Guo Caiyi, coincidentally, Gao Bin and Guo Caiyi are also in the same crew, Gao Bin plays the male number one in the play, Guo Caiyi's resources have not been good after giving birth to a child, and this time she plays the female number three in their play.
This afternoon, Morning Star finished filming two scenes in a row, and was about to rest for a while, when she suddenly heard someone calling her name, she followed the reputation, and it turned out to be Gao Bin and Guo Caiyi who came to visit her class.
Morning Star is a little strange, look at the time is less than four o'clock, at this point the crew should be in full swing filming, how can the two of them be so idle?
She asked, "What's the matter?"
Gao Bin smiled bitterly and asked her, "Do you still want to film in a while?"
"There is another scene, my play today is relatively smooth, I should be able to finish work early, you wait for me for a while, I will invite you two to dinner after the play." ”
Guo Caiyi asked her to hurry up and prepare, she knew Morning Star's filming habits, and if she had something to say, she would wait for dinner for a while.
Morning Star's last scene is a fight with the male protagonist, Morning Star hangs on Weiya, the action designed by Wu Zhi is a series of rotations in the air after several consecutive side rolls between the two, Morning Star is flexible, there is no difficulty in doing this action, but Qiu Jiansheng is very embarrassed, he gets dizzy as soon as he turns around, and he can't complete the action at all when he gets dizzy, so their scene can't meet the director's requirements for a long time.
The executive director of the scene asked Guan Dongsheng for instructions, and Guan Dongsheng had to agree to find Wu to shoot this scene for Qiu Jiansheng.
The on-site producer quickly went to call two martial arts substitutes, and the director vetoed them as soon as he saw the appearance, one was too dark and the other was too short, Qiu Jiansheng was a famous "white jade scholar", with his appearance, it was not easy to find a suitable martial artist.
Seeing that today's scene could not be filmed, Wu Zhi at the scene noticed Gao Bin who was watching on the side, he had worked with Gao Bin, and knew that he was neat, so he made a joke with him: "Gao Bin, can you do a favor? I know that this kind of action is easy for you!"
Wu Zhi is just joking, with Gao Bin's current identity, he has already played the male lead, how can he do this kind of thing again? So I didn't expect him to agree at all, but I didn't expect Gao Bin to look at Morning Star twice, and said: "I have a tacit understanding with Morning Star, for her sake, I'll help you, I have something to do with her today, and we can go out and talk after you finish filming early." ”
Wu Zhi was overjoyed, Qiu Jiansheng hurriedly came over and thanked Gao Bin personally, and Gao Bin asked him not to be polite: "With a gesture, I'll be fine now." ”
Gao Bin put on Qiu Jiansheng's costume, the stylist modeled him, put a layer of foundation on his face, he tried Weiya, and after thinking that there was no problem, he hung it up with Morning Star.
The two of them made a little sword move in the air, and then fought while spinning, the action scenes of the two of them have been tempered for a long time, whether it is the sword moves and the movements of the body, they are full of rhythmic beauty, the morning star is as light as a swallow, Gao Bin is as imposing as a rainbow, after the two of them completed the choreographed action of the martial arts, Gao Bin did a backflip, the morning star chased over, and the two cooperated with a trick rainbow in the sky, before they both stopped.
The executive director was full of praise, Guan Dongsheng watched the finished film, and deeply regretted that he did not insist on using actors from the mainland of China when he was casting, he also considered Gao Bin at that time, but the producer felt that Qiu Jiansheng's exquisite appearance was more popular with female audiences, and Morning Star and Gao Bin had cooperated in the popular Xianxia drama, and they were afraid that the audience would watch them play a couple in the Xianxia drama again, and they might be aesthetically fatigued.
After the filming of this scene, Morning Star said hello to the director, took Huang Jing and Mao Zhizhi, and went out to eat with Guo Caiyi and Gao Bin.
Gao Bin booked a room early in the morning, and they came to the private room on the third floor of Yuehai Building together, where Cantonese cuisine is the mainstay, Gao Bin asked Morning Star and Guo Caiyi to order two of his favorite dishes, and he added a few dishes, and after the dishes were ready, Gao Bin asked his assistant to stay outside the door and complained to Morning Star:
"Morning Star, I was fooled this time! Our brother crew is just to make the heroine popular, but the heroine's acting skills are miserable!
Morning Star hurriedly asked what happened to the two of them, Gao Bin told him what had happened recently, and Morning Star knew that there was a crew filming like this.
Gao Bin and their crew filmed a costume martial arts drama this time, the heroine is Liu Lili, at the beginning they went out on location on the plateau and snow mountains, and filmed for more than ten days, Gao Bin has never seen Liu Lili at all, every time it is his turn to play with the heroine, Gao Bin and the stand-in shoot.
Gao Bin was very strange, and invited director Lu Mingliang to dinner that night to learn about the situation from him: "What's going on?
The director looked helpless: "Liu Lili's card is too big, saying that he has serious altitude sickness, and he got sick as soon as he came over, and he has been treating her all this time, and the producer also asked me to take care of her, but people just don't want to come, what can we do?"
"But ......"
"Cut out the picture!" The director spread his hands and said, "It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, she won't come, I asked the producer what to do, and the producer said let me cut out the picture!"
Gao Bin was stunned, can you still watch the scene filmed like this?
Lu Mingliang was also very annoyed, he poured himself a glass of wine, and after drinking it all, he said a few words to Gao Bin: "After the filming of this drama, my reputation in the circle is ruined, and you good actors are also unlucky, this is all because of our lack of experience! In the past two years, the atmosphere in the film and television industry in China has become more and more uncorrect, and the entertainment industry has become a money-making tool manipulated by some people.
Guo Caiyi told Morning Star: "She can't make an expression on her face at all, the director asked her to make a happy look, she opened her eyes wide and looked at the director with a confused face; the director made her sad, she was also like this, the director scolded her mother angrily this morning, saying: 'I have been filming for many years, and I have never seen someone express all their emotions with one expression!'
After being scolded by the director, Liu Lili simply went on strike! She went back to the city directly under the pretext that she was not feeling well, and this afternoon was originally scheduled to be her play, but she went on strike, and it was too late to set up other scenes temporarily, and the director was also angry, so let everyone rest this afternoon, he had to think about how to shoot the next scene!"
Morningstar is really eye-opening, she has been in the industry for so long, although she has also heard that some of her peers are careless and perfunctory when filming, just like Huang Mengmeng, she has already felt that she is not dedicated to the extreme.
But she has never heard of this kind of strange thing, a person who can't act at all, can still play the leading role, has to cut out pictures during filming, and has a big temper, no one can do anything about her.
For the first time, she began to question, what happened to this circle?
