Li Shixin had just finished playing cards and went downstairs when he heard a sound of brakes at the entrance of the community.

Immediately, a large group of people with oily hair and blue bags under their eyes got out of the car. Under the guidance of Li Xiaomeng, who was wearing rabbit slippers and still couldn't stop shivering, he entered the community.

Looking at this formation, Li Shixin stood at the door of the unit door and put his hands behind his back.

"Sister Xiaoying, they have to come over. I can't stop it. Seeing Zhang Ying at the door of the unit, Li Xiaomeng said aggrievedly.

"Hello, I'm Jiao Chendong, the director of the Chunxiao crew. You are the person in charge of Zhang Ying's studio?"

In the crowd, Jiao Chendong walked out.

"Yes, I'm Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying hurriedly caught the outstretched hand and shook it gently.

"Those props yesterday were so beautiful! I have been a director for nearly ten years, and I have handled three period dramas. I've never seen such a distracting prop. Little girl, your studio taught us a lesson yesterday!"

Jiao Chendong also had dark circles on his face, but he was in good spirits.

"Director Jiao, I don't have such a deep Taoism. Zhang Ying smiled slightly, turned to look at Li Shixin, "The props sent to the crew yesterday were actually processed by my godfather." ”

After speaking, she let Li Shixin behind her out.

There was such a big movement in the community, and the neighbors on the left and right, especially the group performers who played mahjong with Zhang Shuo just now, all came forward at this time.

pointed at the crew standing in the small square and talked about it.

However, Jiao Chendong didn't care, he looked at Li Shixin carefully, and nodded deeply, "That makes sense! I don't think you'll have such a deep experience." ”

As he spoke, he walked up to Li Shixin and held Li Shixin's hand.

"Old man, I won't tell you. I have another period drama to start filming right away. I didn't sleep all night after seeing your craft yesterday. Today, I brought all the prop masters in the crew, and I bother you to tell us about the props of the period drama, and also about the things of that era. ”

Li Shixin smiled.

Period dramas... Filming is going to start right away......

Done!

He raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "The director praised it falsely, in terms of props, I am actually a half-person who does not get started, and I have all figured it out by myself." ”

As soon as Li Shixin finished speaking, a prop master was not happy: "Old man, what you said is so annoying! ”

"Yes, old man, after the director finished talking about us last night, I took a special look at your props. I didn't say it, the work was beautiful. Distressed and some of the paint finishes are outstanding! If you want to say you're self-taught, hey..... I don't believe it. ”

Looking at the look of "why is this old man so unreal" on the faces of several prop masters, Li Shixin shook his head.

After searching from the old man's memory, he said leisurely: "I didn't tell you a lie, I really haven't learned prop making systematically." I just worked in a repertory theatre when I was younger. At that time, the conditions were difficult, and we had to make our own props. If you really want to say something about the teacher...... At that time, our repertory troupe was not far from the film studio, and we walked around when there were no performances. At that time, there was a prop master named Chen Deming in the factory, who always asked us to be a laborer for him......"

"No! Wait for the old man. Before Li Shixin finished speaking, a prop master in his thirties was suddenly stunned, "Who did you just say?"

"Chen Deming?"

Li Shixin blinked, "That's right." ”

"Offense asks, yes...... The one from Bayi Factory?"

Li Shixin nodded.

"Shhh ”

He came so suddenly that everyone around him was confused.

On the side, a younger prop master didn't know why, "Master, who is the old man talking about?"

"Chen Deming of Bayi Factory! The former deputy director of Bayi Factory who just passed away a few years ago! What a national treasure in our props circle! Can't remember? You didn't take anything to heart what I usually tell you in my mother! When filming "The Founding Ceremony", the director team repeatedly studied the video materials and found that a mural of "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" had been destroyed at that time, but in the opening scene at that time, there must also be this painting that is consistent with historical facts and highlights the background of the times. At that time, Mr. Chen Deming did not say a word, but relied on a small number of video materials and spent two weeks to restore this huge four-meter oil painting! Later, after the film was filmed, the painting was directly invited away by the higher-level unit. The "Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" hanging in the museum is not the original work at all, but a prop work created by our prop masters!"

"Shhh

After he reminded him, everyone remembered.

Originally, everyone stayed up all night, and they were more or less resentful in their hearts, but when they heard the origin of the old man in front of them, they all stood up straight.

Li Shixin waved his hand lightly, "I can't talk about it." At that time, Chen Deming said that the prop master is not a prop master, and there is no saying that the predecessors are backward. The level depends on one is the brain, one is ingenious, and the other is studious. If there is any more, it will be careless. Although costumes and props are all behind-the-scenes work, as long as you put your mind to it, you will find that the craftsmanship of the props costumer is no less than the acting skills of a good actor. ”

Li Shixin said this, and a group of prop masters around him thought so.

The craft of props involves too many knowledge systems; simple handicrafts need to understand basic physical chemistry, and for some artistic props, props masters are required to have art and even Chinese culture skills. And some ancient props even require you to link historical and archaeological materials. Not to mention, for some sci-fi props, you have to have extraordinary brains.

But correspondingly, the status of props in the crew, and the attention they receive in the domestic film and television industry, are not very high.

Li Shixin's words can be regarded as speaking to their hearts.

But Jiao Chendong on the side smashed his mouth.

The old man said for a long time, it is indeed profound, but you are talking about period dramas!

What he values is not Li Shixin's prop skills, but his knowledge of the details of life in the 70s!

"Old-timers, I think they all understand these theoretical things, can you tell us about the 70s? It's like ......" As he spoke, Jiao Chendong took out the thimble full of holes in his pocket, "This kind of thing." ”

Li Shixin raised his eyebrows, "Oops." There are so many details of life like this. Like the clothes that people wore at that time. Nowadays, in film and television dramas, the protagonists in their teens and twenties are dressed in a general's coat at every turn, which looks quite spiritual, but at that time, was that kind of clothing that ordinary people could wear? Even some cadres were reluctant to wear the general's school as a regular uniform! In addition, some of the slogans of the 70s that appeared in some TV dramas were too wrong and outrageous...... Another example is "

Li Shixin chattered, and the more Jiao Chendong listened, the brighter his eyes became.

Dry!

It's all dry goods!

If these things are put in a movie, what does that have to be?

Li Shixin said one, and he wrote one in his shorthand book. Until the two pages of the collection are full, and the interest is at its highest, and I can already associate these era elements into part of the plot.

At that end, Li Shixin suddenly stopped.

A group of people were listening to the excitement, and when he stopped, they all felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching his heart!

"Senior, keep talking!

Li Shixin ignored the urging, and just smiled.

"No, I don't have a good memory when I'm older, and some things are still remembered one moment and forgotten the next. ”

"Tsk. ”

Jiao Chendong looked at it, the old man in front of him squinted and smiled, where did he seem to have forgotten something?

"Old man, why don't you rest for a while?"

"I can't remember it after a while. ”

Jiao Chendong was anxious, "Then how can you remember?"

"Ahem. Li Shixin coughed lightly, "Director, actually... I'm not a prop master, I'm an actor. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shuo on the side was stunned, and then grinned.

Sure enough, when everyone in the courtyard didn't know what Li Shixin wanted to do, Li Shixin said quietly.

"If you can arrange a supporting role for me in the new play, I will definitely be able to remember it. If you don't, that's fine. I might just have Alzheimer's and I can't remember anything. ”

“......”

Jiao Chendong was suddenly petrified.

I feel itchy and want to hit someone.

This old man, where did he learn the routine!

Broken Dog Bar It's It!

In the courtyard, more than 100 group performers who had no scenes to shoot clenched their fists.

Old man, this routine for finding a drama, six!

Drip.

A soft sound sounded in Li Shixin's mind.

Received a wave of cheer points with [Five-Body Throwing Admiration], 14302!
