Chapter 5 Medium Special Actors
At four o'clock the next day, before dawn, Zhou Jin got up and washed up and went downstairs to the Marriott Hotel.
It is a place where many crews gather, and group performers generally go there to make up and gather, but it is a little far away from the homestay where Zhou Jin lives.
A tricycle on the side of the road greeted him, "Go to the show, I'll pull you?"
"How much does it cost to go to Marriott?"
"Thirty. ”
"Three pieces to go?"
"Get in the car. ”
The tricycle drivers in Hengdian do this, and if a newcomer comes, those who don't understand the market will be slaughtered.
On the way to Marriott, the driver picked up a few more people and counted them as carpooling. When I passed by the actors' guild, it was only four o'clock, and a group of group performances had already gathered there, all waiting for the play.
Speaking of which, I really have to thank Er Dongzi, if it weren't for Er Dongzi to build a Q group, Zhou Jin would have to come to this drama at four o'clock if he wanted to take over the play.
When I arrived at Marriott, there were already a lot of people here, and it was a mess, Zhou Jin found the team leader, and then put on makeup, a hood, and changed into the clothes of the guards.
It looks very heavy, but it's actually a prop made of plastic, and it doesn't have any weight.
At five o'clock, a group of group performers and group special got on the bus and went straight to the palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
At this time, the morning sun was slightly dewed, and the morning breeze was very cool, Zhou Jin looked at Hengdian outside the car window, and felt a little excited.
This is his first scene after crossing over.
Hengdian Film and Television City is large, and has built a number of film and television bases to shoot dramas of various dynasties.
For example, the filming of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States City, the filming of the Qin and Han Dynasties is in the Qin Palace, the filming of the Tang Dynasty is in the Tang Garden, the filming of the Great Song Dynasty is in the Qingming Shanghe Tu, and the filming of the Ming and Qing Dynasties is in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties is modeled after the Forbidden City, and the first thing you see after entering is the copycat version of Tiananmen Square, in addition, there are many palace groups and gardens or something, all of which are in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
took the actor card and followed the team leader into the palace, and the crew slowly took place, lighting, photography and recording.
At this time, the sun had risen, and the east was red, and they had to shoot the first scene of the day as soon as possible.
"Nine mirrors at a time, start!"
I saw a red-topped old eunuch slowly walking into the camera, and Zhou Jin and another buddy in a guard uniform straddled the knife and followed behind.
The three of them walked forward slowly, and a little eunuch walked over quickly, several people stood still, Zhou Jin glanced at it, and found that the position where the two eunuchs were standing was exactly where the lights were shining.
"Is the emperor up?" asked the old eunuch nonchalantly.
"The emperor's illness is not good, he tossed with a few palace maids last night, and he just slept this morning. The little eunuch replied softly.
The old eunuch asked again: "In the past few days, has the emperor summoned King Xin?"
The little eunuch said, "The day before yesterday, when the emperor used a deer whip, he sent one to King Xin. ”
As a foreground, it's really a background board, there are no lines, just stand there.
Zhou Jin didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two eunuchs, his eyes couldn't help but glance up his head, where there was a pole, and below was the microphone, which was used for recording.
But Zhou Jin was thinking, if the buddy slipped his hand when he lifted the pole, wouldn't he be smashed?
Of course, what Zhou Jin imagined didn't happen, and this scene passed smoothly. Most of the subsequent plays are like this, others perform, Zhou Jin just goes to that pestle, like a piece of wood.
It's noon, "Okay, call it a day!"
The crew includes three meals, and the actors have specially set lunches to eat, while Zhou Jin and their group actors and special groups can only eat big pot meals.
A few iron buckets, filled with vegetarian dishes such as roasted potatoes, roasted cabbage, and roasted onions, were lucky enough to pick up a few pieces of meat, just like a university cafeteria.
The lunch box and chopsticks were all disposable, Zhou Jin made a bowl of rice, some cabbage and onions, and he didn't want to touch the potatoes.
There is no table for the group performers to eat, just find a place to deal with it, Zhou Jin followed everyone to a corridor, and was about to sit on the ground, when he heard a voice say: "Don't sit on the ground." ”
Zhou Jin looked up and saw that it was the buddy who was a wooden man with him in the morning, who was about the same height as Zhou Jin, but he was a bit of a clown.
Brother Clown pulled Zhou Jin up and said, "They look down on us, we have to look down on ourselves." ”
Zhou Jin didn't care, sitting on the railing with Brother Clown, it didn't look very glorious.
After eating, Zhou Jin leaned on the pillar to take a nap (qi, four sounds), and suddenly saw a few buddies sneaking away together, he looked at the clown brother, "Why are they going?"
"What else can you do?" hehe, find a place to sleep!" Brother Clown said disdainfully, "A bunch of muddy stuff." ”
"What do you mean?" Zhou Jin didn't understand.
Brother Clown was very polite to him, and he really explained it.
It turns out that some old oilers in the group performance will perform once in the morning, find a place to hide in the afternoon, and come out when they are finished.
Brother Clown is extremely disdainful of this kind of behavior, "Opportunities will only be given to those who are prepared, a group of mud is even lazy in acting, and they deserve to run a group performance for a lifetime." ”
......
In the afternoon, in a gazebo, the old eunuch sat on a stone bench and drank tea with a civil official, Zhou Jin and the clown brother stood behind the old eunuch, 123 wooden people.
The civil official Zhou Jin knew, that is, the teacher Zheng that Er Dongzi said to him.
Mr. Zheng is in his fifties, he used to work in government agencies, he was still a cadre, and after he retired, he went to Hengdian to enjoy the drama.
The old man has a very good image, thin, and a literati temperament, and can play the leader who is dedicated to the public when he wears a Mao suit, and he can play the parent official who asks for the people's life when he wears an ancient official robe.
Therefore, the old man is very popular in Hengdian, and his acting is basically started by Da Te, you must know that Da Te's eyes on the entire Hengdian are also rare.
I saw that Mr. Zheng took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said, "Gonggong Wei, although the emperor is in good health now, the court has its own cabinet ministers and auxiliary ministers, so you don't have to worry too much." ”
Wei Gonggong said: "People have no long-term concerns, there must be near-term worries, the emperor's illness is not good, maybe one day he will be killed, Lord Li, we as courtiers have to share the emperor's worries." ”
Teacher Zheng said: "Then I don't know how my father-in-law wants to share his worries?"
Gonggong Wei took a sip of tea and said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, the emperor has not given birth to a dragon heir, once he dies, he should choose another talented person to inherit the unification." ”
"Master Li," Gonggong Wei slowly got up, his voice became extremely fanatical, "The slave also wants to be the emperor!"
I rub it, Wei Zhongxian still has such lofty ideals?
Hearing this bombardment line, Zhou Jin couldn't help but jump his eyelids.
"You, you gelding... Dare to rebel!" Master Li was furious, pointing at Gonggong Wei and scolding.
Gonggong Wei snorted coldly, "Master Li, do you know what the Zhulian Nine Clans are?"
"Stick, stop!"
The director suddenly called out the card and called Grandpa Wei and Teacher Zheng over, and the three of them chirped crookedly and didn't know what to say.
After a while, "Hey, you two come here." The director beckoned to Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin didn't know why, but Brother Clown looked excited and said, "The opportunity has come!"
The two walked over, and the director looked at the faces of the two, and then said to Zhou Jin: "Add a line to you, can you say no?"
Zhou Jin hurriedly agreed: "Yes!"
"Director, I can do it too, I've acted in a lot of plays!" said the clown brother.
The director glanced at the clown's face, and waved him directly, "Go, go, your image is not good!"
Zhou Jin smiled, opportunities will indeed be given to those who are prepared, but some people's preparation starts from the mother's womb.
The line added by the director is very simple, just two words: bold!
"As soon as Master Li scolded, you pulled out your knife and shouted boldly, and Gonggong Wei asked you to take the knife back, and you reluctantly put away the knife, can you understand?" the director gave him a brief explanation.
"Don't worry, Director. ”
"Nine mirrors 10 games for the fifth time, start!"
"You, you gelding... Dare to rebel!" The camera was reshot, and Master Li angrily pointed at Grandpa Wei and scolded.
"Bold!" Zhou Jin shouted, drawing the knife with the clown brother.
"Grandpa Wei, is your dog so disobedient?" Master Li sneered.
"Take the knife back. Grandpa Wei waved his hand lightly.
"Yes. Zhou Jin reluctantly put the knife into the sheath, but still glared angrily at Lord Li.
Father-in-law Wei chuckled lightly, and his tone was gloomy: "Lord Li, do you know what the Zhulian Nine Clans are?"
After the camera, the director nodded slightly, and the guard's expression and lines were not bad, which made the effect of the whole scene much better.
As soon as he drew his sword, the threat of Gonggong Wei became even more deterrent.
In Hengdian, if the group speech has more than ten words, there will be an additional opening fee, and there is nothing like Zhou Jin, who only has three words.
"What's your name, Zhou Jin, right?" asked a drama manager.
Zhou Jin was resting with Brother Clown, and hurriedly got up and said, "It's me, brother, what's the matter?"
"Your kid is lucky, there is a guard's corner who is sick, and the director has decided to make you vacant, do you understand how to come over with the team these days?"
"Yes, yes, understand, thank you, brother, thank you, director. Zhou Jin nodded.
Brother Clown snorted coldly when he heard this, and walked away with a stiff face.
It was no wonder that he felt angry, because no one expected that it was just a water sentence that actually picked up Zhongte's pigeons.
The group is also graded, the prospect can only be regarded as a small special, 270 a day, and the one who can have multiple opportunities to play is the medium, 700 a day!
Of course, Zhongte's salary is high, but it is not often received, many group performances in Hengdian have taken over Zhongte, but after the performance, they still have to be honest and struggle between Xiaote and group performances.
The foreground is much more stable, and generally speaking, the guards are not changed, because the audience will feel twisted when they suddenly see an unfamiliar face, even if he can't even remember what the guard looks like.
It can be said that as long as you receive the prospect, you don't have to worry about no filming for a week or two.
As for the big special above Zhongte, it is unavoidable, and Zhou Jin has not received it yet.
He once secretly asked Mr. Zheng, and the old man smiled slightly, without words, just pointed at him with three fingers.
Obediently, 3000 a day!
