The fifth round is reborn
It's not how difficult it is to shoot, it's not that there is a problem with the script of the TV series, the real trouble is the actors here in Wuzhou, and Zhang Xingping has no one to watch.
There are more than a dozen TV drama production companies behind the scenes in Wuzhou Film and Television Base, he has known for a long time, but he doesn't take it to heart, Huimin Film and Television Company has been established for more than ten years, and the energy in the entertainment industry is not comparable to those newly established TV drama production companies. The boss of Huimin Film and Television has already said hello to the boss of Wuzhou Film and Television Base, and in the past two days, those special agents and group leaders will honestly contact the crew, and no matter how powerful the people in those TV drama manufacturing companies are, they don't dare to do it against the film and television base.
Even if there are no such agents and group leaders in the past few days, there are more than 20 special actors who don't want to mix in the TV drama circle anymore, hoping to get in touch with Huimin Film and Television through this opportunity, and can they enter the film industry in the future?
But what he didn't expect was that the Wuzhou Film and Television Base, which has been so popular in the past two years, couldn't find an actor who could make him recognize, and he tried more than a dozen actors who looked good in appearance for a few days, but none of them could catch their eye.
If it weren't for the actor who originally played the No. 1 supporting actor in "Rising Star" to come to Wuzhou, he had a traffic accident on the way to Wuzhou, and his lower leg bone was fractured, and he couldn't act. He wouldn't be so embarrassed. Looking at it now, these TV drama actors in Wuzhou are unreliable, so they can only find a way to find a suitable actor from Kyoto and rush over to shoot as soon as possible. But in addition to this main supporting actor, there is also a small supporting role that also has no suitable actors. One sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also released, after today's footage is finished, I will call the two actors from Huimin Film and Television to come over.
After graduating from Huaxia Drama Academy, Zhang Xingping has been making movies, and he has never paid much attention to the performance style and performance level of TV drama actors. His requirements for actors are based on the level of film actors, of course, much higher than those of TV drama directors.
Bluestar Huaxia TV series have long been invested and filmed by several large TV stations such as China Television, and then broadcast on their own TV stations. It has been less than 2 years since private companies entered the production of TV dramas, and the excellent TV drama actors are basically contracted actors of several major TV stations. In addition, the development of the showbiz in Bluestar Huaxia is relatively lagging behind the earth, and the performance style of TV drama actors is basically in accordance with the set of stage plays and drama performances, and even the protagonists and main supporting roles in TV dramas, most of them only rely on label-style emotional actions and exaggerated expressions to express characters, not to mention the performance of special actors and group performances.
If you have watched Taiwan's "Qiong Yao-style" romance dramas in the sixties and seventies, you can probably imagine that kind of picture, the protagonist and supporting characters in front of the camera crying and grabbing the ground, and their facial expressions are distorted and deformed when they are emotional.
This kind of exaggerated and contrived performance is naturally unsightly in the eyes of a big director like Zhang Xingping, and he has tried no less than 20 actors with good acting skills in Wuzhou Film and Television Base, not only did not have one that met his mind, but some people's performances were even a farce in his opinion. forced him to trouble Huimin Film and Television Company to find actors from Kyoto to come over for filming.
Zhang Xingping silently complained in his heart about the acting skills of these TV series special actors, and at the same time planned to simply find two movie actors from Kyoto to top it, although this is very troublesome and the cost is also very high, but after all, it is his first TV series, and it is not certain whether he will make another TV series in the future, he doesn't want to leave regrets for himself.
Just when Zhang Xingping was silently planning to find actors from Kyoto, the preparations for the shooting of the first shot in the morning had already been made. Xu Dayong, the assistant director, came over to Zhang Xingping and told Zhang Xingping about the preparations of various departments, Zhang Xingping put down the thoughts in his heart and walked to the lens viewfinder to check the scene layout and lighting effects.
Although he was filming a TV series, he did not use the ordinary digital cameras that are now popular in China, but specially imported 4 4K high-definition cameras from the United States, and the lenses were specially processed, and the shooting effect was very similar to the feeling of film shooting. Huimin Film and Television invested 1.3 million US dollars in these cameras alone, which means that they invested 4 million yuan in the light of the camera. You must know that it has only been 20 years since the reform and opening up, and the purchasing power of RMB is still very high, and the total investment in some TV dramas is only about 300 or 4 million yuan, which shows how much attention Huimin Film and Television Company attaches to the company's first TV series.
Zhang Xingping commanded the field staff and gaffers to adjust the picture effect he wanted, he didn't ask about the photography, his old partner, Xu Dongsheng, who won the best cinematography at the Yanhuang Film Festival, was in charge of the main camera of this TV series, the two of them have collaborated on 5 movies, Xu Dongsheng's technology to shoot a TV series is simply a knife to kill chickens, he doesn't have to worry about it.
When everything was ready, Zhang Xingping habitually sat in front of the viewfinder, took out the clapperboard in the field office, and shouted out the scene and shot number on the board, his brows habitually wrinkled together, his attention was highly concentrated, and he shouted "start shooting". The whole crew moved like a high-speed machine with his orders.
The plot of "Tomorrow's Star" is very simple, the actor Xue Mingxuan was born in a family of actors, his parents are well-known actors in China, and he has become a well-known child star in China since he was a child because of his outstanding appearance and excellent understanding of performance. But in the eyes of everyone, the life of a big winner in life is not what Xue Mingxuan wants, because of his parents, because of work, he can only live independently on his own since he was a child, and the family gathers less and leaves more. Because he was tired of the life of an actor, after entering the Huaxia Film Academy, he publicly announced his retirement from the entertainment industry, and would no longer take on any roles before graduation, so he could study with peace of mind. But what he didn't expect was that on the college campus, he not only met a group of roommates who were passionate about acting, but also met the girl who made him fall in love at first sight, Chen Yuxin. With the encouragement and drive of his brothers and Chen Yuxin, Xue Mingxuan's love for acting was revived.
In the middle episodes, Xue Mingxuan and his rival Zhao Wenbin fought for a long time, and finally, of course, Xue Mingxuan's original drama "Snowy Night" written and directed by Xue Mingxuan defeated Zhao Wenbin's self-written and directed drama "Above the White Clouds", and won the championship of the Film Academy's annual College Student Drama Grand Prix. Xue Mingxuan's talent moved the TV series investors who watched the competition, and they wanted to adapt "Snowy Night" into a TV series and invite Xue Mingxuan and Chen Yuxin to star together. Because several brothers in the dormitory did not get the opportunity to act, Xue Mingxuan refused the opportunity, but Chen Yuxin resolutely accepted the invitation, Xue Mingxuan thought that Chen Yuxin betrayed everyone, and was deeply shocked to drink alone in the small theater where everyone often rehearsed. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuxin appeared in front of him with his parents at this time and told him that the director of the "Snowy Night" TV series had decided to use the original cast of the drama. It turned out that Chen Yuxin accepted the invitation of the crew in order to take this opportunity to hand over the video materials of their rehearsal drama to the director of the TV series, so that he could see the efforts and talents of this group of young people, plus Xue Mingxuan's parents came forward to say good things for Xue Mingxuan's brothers, and the TV series director and investors finally agreed to let Xue Mingxuan, Chen Yuxin and the 5 buddies in the bedroom all star in the TV series. At the launch ceremony of the TV series, Xue Mingxuan couldn't help but confess to Chen Yuxin, and Chen Yuxin listened to Xue Mingxuan's true confession and was moved to kiss him......
This kind of plot looks bloody to Peng Yichen, but it can be said that the quality is very high for Huimin Film and Television Company, which is filming an idol drama for the first time. There is a description of the life of celebrities, the youth and beauty of the male and female protagonists, the passionate friendship of buddies and brothers, and the simple campus life of college students, which must be very lethal to audiences who have not watched idol dramas.
What Peng Yichen didn't expect was that although he joined the group as an extra, he quickly got a small dragon role with lines, and he was about to appear in the first shot of today's shooting. This scene is mainly about: the actor Xue Mingxuan took sunglasses and masks to report to the Kyoto Film Academy, and the senior at the freshman reception at the entrance of the teaching building of the acting department did not recognize him, and was telling him some things that needed to be handled for admission, but was squeezed aside by a group of girls next to him, obviously the girls all recognized Xue Mingxuan, and the male senior who was squeezed aside took a closer look before recognizing Xue Mingxuan, and said "Big star NB?" and left.
This scene is actually mainly to highlight the male protagonist Xue Mingxuan's pride in his star status and the school girl's nymphomaniac towards the male protagonist, which is used to contrast the rare disdain of the heroine who appears later towards the male protagonist, making the male protagonist's love at first sight for the heroine more convincing.
Originally, he played the role of the male senior in the reception department, but this morning director Zhang Xingping suddenly arranged for him to go to the train station to pick up a batch of very important equipment. Assistant director Xu Dayong plans to temporarily select someone from the group performance to top. Because the plot is the registration of new students in September, Peng Yichen and Huang Bo, a group of extras, are changing their autumn clothes, although Peng Yichen is still wearing the broken dogskin hat, and the ash on his face has not been wiped off, but wearing the students' school uniforms still feels much more temperamental than the group performances like several migrant workers around.
Xu Dayong didn't say much, so he arranged a scene to briefly talk about this scene to Peng Yichen, anyway, this character only has two lines, just showing a face in the camera, and the assistant director Xu Dayong didn't take it to heart.
Peng Yichen inexplicably fished out a small role with two lines and a face that could still be revealed. He didn't take it seriously, but Huang Bo on the side seemed to get the role by himself, he couldn't be happy, and kept saying to Peng Yichen: Nail polish! He thought in his heart that Peng Yichen, this kid didn't fool himself, this crew does have a lot of opportunities, and it seems easy to get a character who can show his face with lines.
Peng Yichen can be regarded as breaking away from the team of group performances, of course, it is not his turn to enter the actor's special dressing room, he was pulled aside by the makeup artist, casually combed a middle "traitor head", and wore glasses as thick as the bottom of a wine bottle, and was hurriedly pushed behind the wooden table in the reception room of the freshman reception at the entrance of the teaching building of the acting department in the center of the camera.
On the other side, the scene manager took out the clapperboard and watched the gaffer finally adjust the lighting, the cameraman turned on the camera slowly, a group of young girls and the young actor who played the male protagonist Xue Mingxuan approached with a smile, and the director Zhang Xingping had also done it in front of the monitor, ready to shout the order to start filming.
Peng Yichen gently pushed the black-framed glasses on his face that blocked most of his face, and said in a voice that only he could hear: In the past and present life, I will no longer follow the crowd, no matter what role, as long as I want to play, I must play the best.
Forty years of glory in an instant, twenty years of floating life like a dream, how can my generation be a penny man forever......
