Chapter 23: "Rookie" Lin Xiaoguang
The remuneration of supporting actors in film and television dramas is generally calculated according to the popularity and appeal of the actors, which has something to do with the protagonist and supporting roles, but it has little to do with it.
For example, when filming the movie "Painted Skin", although Donnie Yen played only a supporting role, his salary at that time was higher than that of Chen Kun and Zhao Wei.
Even if it is a supporting actor, there are also divisions such as the second and third lines, there are tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of famous episodes, some are not famous, and there are less than 10,000 yuan in a single episode, if it is a big-name star playing a supporting role, it is normal for the salary to be higher than that of the protagonist, and the cameos of big-name stars will not be counted according to the appearance time, because in addition to friendly cameos, many cameos are made by the filmmakers in order to enhance their fame, so even if it is a few minutes of play, it is normal to get a salary of more than one million, which mainly depends on the actor's own fame and appeal.
Of course, a supporting role like Lin Xiaoguang, who is not famous at all, although he does not have any appeal and popularity, if he has enough scenes, he can still get a considerable salary.
Even if Lin Xiaoguang's salary is four or six points with Ding Dewu, the salary he can get in the end is far more than that of ordinary extras, and even higher than most special actors.
Since you can make money and shoot such a heavy scene, the unspoken rules are the unspoken rules, anyway, you don't have to sell chrysanthemums, you can kill two birds with one stone, why not Lin Xiaoguang?
Afternoon.
The set of "The Sword of the Third Young Master".
Ding Dewu led Lin Xiaoguang and walked around the crew.
I saw that director Jin Demao commanded the scene in front of the camera, and he looked extremely skilled and professional in his gestures.
After the filming of a fight scene was over, the filming was suspended, and the crew was ready to change the venue to continue filming, taking advantage of the gap between the staff moving props, Ding Dewu stepped forward to say hello to Jin Demao and whispered a few words to him.
After Ding Dewu finished speaking, Jin Demao turned his head and glanced at Lin Xiaoguang behind Ding Dewu, and Lin Xiaoguang also stepped forward to introduce himself to director Jin Demao with interest.
At this time, Lin Xiaoguang, as usual, was a little unkempt, his hair had been unpaid for a while, his bangs were a little long, and the tips of his hair were almost covering his eyes.
Jin Demao frowned, thinking that Lin Xiaoguang's hairstyle was too long and too green, always like it was raining everywhere he went, wet, and without the vitality of a young man.
Jin Demao said to Lin Xiaoguang: "There is nothing wrong with the facial features, take a look around." ”
"Turn, what are you doing?" Ding Dewu patted Lin Xiaoguang's shoulder and urged impatiently.
Lin Xiaoguang reacted back, and immediately turned around in place, his movements looking a little stiff.
Jin Demao nodded with satisfaction and said, "The figure is not bad, show your forehead." ”
This time, Lin Xiaoguang was obedient, and immediately reached out to pick up his bangs, revealing his forehead.
In an instant, Jin Demao was persuaded by Lin Xiaoguang's picture, with a jade-like forehead, a beautiful point, thin eyebrows, and no exaggeration, although he is a boy, he is really like a good girl.
"Long eyebrows, slight contempt. Jin Demao only had these four words in his mind to describe what he saw.
In fact, from the perspective of Jin Demao, a martial arts drama director, he feels that there is no hairstyle suitable for Lin Xiaoguang, there are bangs that are too wasteful of forehead and eyebrows, and bangs are too short and too rigid to lose aura.
It stands to reason that Lin Xiaoguang's appearance should be a rough suit and can't be hidden, but Jin Demao feels that he can't be worthy of strict makeup.
Jin Demao chooses actors, and appearance has always come first, and Lin Xiaoguang plays the character of "Little Brother Ding", as far as Jin Demao is concerned, it can be said that he is overkill.
As for Lin Xiaoguang's acting skills, Jin Demao is not worried at all, as the helm of the camera, he himself is also an actor from the film academy, as long as Lin Xiaoguang is not too stupid, understands the gender too badly, and has a certain acting experience, he will guide and suggest it from the side, basically there will be no big problem.
Jin Demao didn't say anything more, only left the next sentence: "Xiao Ding, you take him to the dressing room to set his makeup first, and I will go to see the situation in person after filming the next scene." ”
"Gotcha. Ding Dewu replied with a smile.
On the way to the dressing room, Lin Xiaoguang followed behind Ding Dewu and watched some well-known and unknown beautiful actresses in the crew gently pass by him, dazzling him.
Lin Xiaoguang had to sigh, there are so many beautiful actresses in the crew of "The Sword of the Third Young Master", seeing this actress, Lin Xiaoguang guessed in his heart whether he had a rivalry with her, and when he saw that beautiful actress, Lin Xiaoguang pondered again, will there be a scene where heroes save beauty next......
In short, along the way, Lin Xiaoguang's mood was beautiful......
The dressing room of "The Sword of the Third Young Master" is located in a hotel not far from the crew, and a crew comes to Hengdian, and there are hundreds of people at every turn, so most of them book a hotel for a few months.
Therefore, the last time Lin Xiaoguang sent materials and came to this hotel, it was not strange to see the assistant director Ding Dewu.
A standard "resident hotel" often has a dressing room and clothing room on the ground floor, and the second and third floors are temporarily converted conference rooms, a "canteen" for meals, and rooms for the crew.
When it comes to the powder room and the costume room, this is also the biggest special feature of Hengcheng Hotel.
As an important base for the crew to "serve the road", the decoration of the lowest room is very exquisite.
First of all, the area of the room must be large, and the lights must be bright, so that it is suitable for the actors to put on makeup, change their costumes, and take makeup photos.
In addition, the garment room is also very important.
In addition to rows of shelves with dozens or even dozens of costumes for each character in a work, there must also be a large area where makeup photos are taken.
Just like ordinary people usually go to the studio to take photos and wedding photos, the actors need to pose on a white background. If the costume is not suitable, the costume designer will immediately change it to a bigger or smaller one, and sometimes even need to use scissors, sewing machines, etc., the scene is comparable to the workshop of a garment factory.
"The Sword of the Third Young Master" costume room.
Lin Xiaoguang, who was wearing makeup and costumes, was following Ding Dewu's instructions, posing with various poses and starting to take makeup photos for the photographer to shoot, while Ding Dewu and the costume designer were talking to each other on the side.
The costumer pointed to Lin Xiaoguang's style and said: "Director, it's not bad, it's quite suitable, I was worried that I would have to redo more than a dozen sets of clothes at first, but I didn't expect that the costume that Chen Long wore before is now wearing it on this little handsome guy, not big, not too small, just right." ”
Ding Dewu nodded and said with a smile: "You said it's okay, what other opinions can I have?"
Makeup artists and costumers helped to figure it out for more than an hour, and Lin Xiaoguang's "Little Brother Ding" makeup photos were finally successfully taken, and then director Jin Demao came to take a look and expressed his approval, although he didn't say much, he was still quite satisfied with Lin Xiaoguang's costume style.
Now that the director and assistant director have nodded, Lin Xiaoguang also got the role of the male No. 3 "Little Brother Ding" as he wished.
After Jin Demao returned to the set, Ding Dewu immediately instructed Lin Xiaoguang: "You hurry up and go back and pack up, bring a few more clothes, you have to stay in a hotel with the group during this time, don't run around if you don't have a scene." ”
"Well, okay, I'll go back right away. ”
filmed in Hengcheng and stayed in a hotel, Lin Xiaoguang was still the first time a big girl got married, and the various preferential treatment of this supporting actor can make Lin Xiaoguang happy.
After all, he is the third male in the crew of "The Sword of the Third Young Master", Lin Xiaoguang's role in this drama is only second only to a few well-known actors such as Yu Feihong and He Zhonghua, Ding Dewu asked him to live in a hotel with the group, also in order to better work for this drama.
Now Lin Xiaoguang is still a completely stunned young man, he was an otaku college student in an ivory tower in his last life, in addition to studying, playing games and watching movies, he has never even held a girl's hand, and his understanding of society in his head has only an ignorant and vague concept.
After coming to Hengcheng, Lin Xiaoguang has always been at the bottom of the entertainment industry, he doesn't understand many things, and he hasn't experienced many situations, so it's no wonder that he seems a little helpless all day.
As for what is experience?
To be honest, "rookie" Lin Xiaoguang really doesn't understand.
Like last time, Lin Xiaoguang still didn't have to go to Luo Jun and them to show off his skills, because he knew very well that after filming this film, if he didn't get a better opportunity, he would probably go back to play tricks like before.
Although his original intention of filming must be to make money, Ruan Wenhao, who filmed "Young Bao Qingtian", felt that the harvest was not very big, at most he was addicted to drama and made hundreds of dollars more.
And filming "The Sword of the Third Young Master", in addition to the high salary, Lin Xiaoguang can also be addicted to drama, can have more opportunities to learn from professional actors, and may even rely on the performance of this drama to go all the way north and embark on the peak of the road of interpretation.
What does the future hold?
Lin Xiaoguang himself is not very clear, but at least, his direction is correct, although the process is a bit slow.
At night.
"The Sword of the Third Young Master" is stationed in the group hotel.
In the room, Ding Dewu took the script to Lin Xiaoguang, and due to the urgency of the situation, Ding Dewu was ready to tell him the play overnight.
Lin Xiaoguang took it and took a look, and the title page was printed with the name - "The Sword of the Third Young Master".
Lin Xiaoguang turned the first page and asked casually, "Director, have you seen it all?"
Ding Dewu nodded and said, "I've seen it." ”
The script is much thicker than Lin Xiaoguang's filming of "Young Bao Qingtian" Ruan Wenhao, and there are a lot of lines, Lin Xiaoguang flipped through and found that there was often a plot of fighting, and he was puzzled: "So many fight scenes?"
Ding Dewu saw where he was pointing, and said: "There is no scene in martial arts dramas, do you think you are filming Qiong Yao dramas?
Lin Xiaoguang blinked, smiled embarrassedly, and suddenly, at the moment when he lowered his head slightly, he saw a scene that should not have been let him see......
The assistant director didn't pull the trouser chain, and let the black **** inside be open......
Ding Dewu talked to him about the script at night, Lin Xiaoguang didn't think much about it, after all, he is an actor, and the assistant director is also a man, and there is no safety problem, but he knows more or less that the water in the entertainment industry is very deep, and there may be any demons and monsters, so he needs to be cautious in everything.
In other words, Ding Dewu's trick is indeed clever.
If it wasn't Lin Xiaoguang who was talking to him about the script in the middle of the night, but other actresses, the scene would have become subtle and interesting.
Ding Dewu's big trouser chain is not pulled, it is impossible for normal people not to see it, so it depends on the actress's reaction, if the actress has the heart to be on top and sees that Ding Dewu's trouser chain is not pulled, she may start to hair.. Sao said rhythmically, Ding Dao, your trouser chain is not pulled, let me help you pull it up, right?
Then, Ding Dewu said again at this time: "Do you think it's better to pull, or not?"
Eventually, the scene became indescribable.
If the actress asks Ding Dewu to pull it by herself or when she doesn't see it, she is very nervous, which means that her understanding is too low and she can't be the heroine.
didn't pull the trouser chain, Ding Dewu didn't express anything clearly, and others couldn't catch him, at most he said that he accidentally didn't pull the trouser chain, which can effectively screen the target, and Lin Xiaoguang sighed to himself.
