Chapter 20: The Substitute (I)
The plot of the first act is also the beginning of the movie, Kong Ji and Changsheng are begging for a living in an acrobatic class, and the acrobatic class is performing a show for the squire here.
In order to cooperate with the filming of the crew, Longren Folk Village is closed all day today, and it cannot exceed the day after tomorrow at the latest, so the time is relatively tight, after Li Junyi's order was issued, everyone in the crew got busy, and the extras began to gather together under the command of the field affairs to listen to the assistant director's assignment of work, such as when to cooperate with the movement of the camera to show what kind of expression, especially the "squad leader" and "squire master" who are more concentrated in the camera, although they are tricks, they still have a role in the end.
The gaffers also started to set up the lights, and when the film was shooting, even during the day, the light was often not as good as it was, either too diffuse or too concentrated, which needed to be coordinated by experienced gaffers.
The props also began to assemble things such as the elevated shelf that had been made long ago, and set up a platform for performing acrobatics, as well as drum and gong instrumental music, and the costumes were handed out to Ahn Jun Hyuk, Gan Woo Sung, and those dragon ensembles.
Everything is in an orderly manner, and most of the people Li Junyi found have rich experience in the industry, so they don't need to bother much at all. This is mostly due to the sufficiency of the budget, "The King's Man" is no longer welcomed in the media and director circles, and it will not affect these middle and lower-level staff, as long as they can get the money, they are naturally willing to sign the contract.
However, Li Junyi also has a place to pick the door.
In the makeshift tent, Ahn Junhyuk looked at the costume in his hand, frowned slightly, and rubbed the material a few times. Raised his head in surprise: "Paper?"
"Uh...... Yes. The assistant director, who was in charge of delivering him the costume, rolled a few times nervously: "The director said that this kind of disposable costume would be too wasteful if it was made of fabric, so the props were made of paper." ”
"All the costumes in the future?"
"No, there are only some costumes that you don't need after shooting a shot, you can rest assured, although it is paper, it is of good quality, and it is easy to color, and it looks more beautiful and delicate than cloth and silk...... It is...... It's just not very comfortable to wear...... Belch. Of course. If you're not satisfied, we can make it temporarily!"
Speaking of which, assistant director Khan is about to come out.
He really can't be careless, everyone in the crew knows it. Ahn Joon-hyuk is not simply one of the leading actors. Or the boss of everyone in the crew. The salary still depends on the other party, in case you accidentally offend the small shoes you wear, there is no place to cry.
Ahn Jun Hyuk held his hand and looked smooth. The paper inside is rough, and it is uncomfortable to wear like this, it is simply torture.
However, Lee Jun-ik did this, in essence, to save him money, and just like the assistant director said, the costumes made of paper do look more delicate than real cloth or even silk, and it is estimated that the shooting effect is also very good, and Ahn Jun-hyuk is too lazy to bother with such a trivial matter.
"Forget it, that's good, you go out first, tell the director, I'll go over after changing my clothes." ”
"What a shame!"
After the assistant director respectfully exited the tent, Ahn Joon-hyuk got up and changed his clothes, and the first scene was juggling, and his costume style should actually be regarded as a woman's clothes, to be honest, it was really burdensome to wear.
Fortunately, in order to cover his abdominal muscles, Li Junyi lengthened the small gown that was originally lifted to the sword process and turned it into a short coat, although it will still show flesh, but not too much, and there is no need to worry about goofs anymore - there are many long shots in this scene, and there is no way to make Jisoo a stand-in.
Jisoo also joined the crew, and in the next few months, I am afraid that he will have to follow him back and forth across the country, and he specially hired a nanny and masseur to take care of him.
I haven't been out for a long time, and Jisoo doesn't seem to be able to adapt to it, so after arriving in Suwon yesterday, he has been staying at the hotel to rest.
Maybe it's because the water and soil are not adapted!
Thinking about it, when he changed his costume and walked out of the tent, Gan Yucheng next door also happened to come out, his costume was not paper, but obviously it didn't feel good to wear, and when Ahn Junhyuk saw him come out, his hands kept scratching his body.
"Jun Hyuk, have you changed too?Alas, this costume is really uncomfortable, and I feel itchy all over my body...... I heard that your costumes are made of paper?"
"Well, it's not very well dressed. ”
"I'll talk to the costume later, add an inner lining to it, it's too uncomfortable. ”
The two greeted each other, chatted casually, and walked to the makeup van together.
In the few days in Seoul, after Ahn Jun-hyuk joined the crew, he deliberately went out to drink a few meals with Gan Woo-sung, so the relationship between the two sides became familiar very quickly, and it was naturally impossible to become friends, but if it was just a good start for a few months of cooperation, such a relationship would be enough.
As a historical drama, basically every scene has to be filmed, wearing wigs and sticky beards, Li Junyi's investment in the makeup crew is probably the largest part of the budget in the crew, and the makeup team of more than 20 people serves the entire crew, even so, it is too busy.
Outside the rented makeup car, there was a lot of excitement, and many people were waiting in line.
Ahn Jun-hyuk and the others naturally didn't have to, and they didn't wait outside, they went directly into the makeup car, and the two makeup artists consciously followed in.
The person in charge of putting on Ahn Junhyuk's makeup is a makeup artist named Lee Junhao-chan, a very talkative person, if you ignore some of the unusual tones in his words......
"Jun Hyukxi's skin is not very good, it seems that he usually doesn't pay attention to maintenance! Let me tell you, if the artist doesn't pay attention to maintenance, the skin will easily deteriorate! People have a set of maintenance methods, and I'll give it to you when I'm done, so that you can ensure that your skin is white and pink after use...... Look at me, you look at me, many women are not as good as my skin, last time there was a foreigner named Michelle, who saw other people's skin and had to pull people to shoot cosmetics commercials......"
After more than an hour of makeup, Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't know how he survived, and after arriving at the worst, even Gan Yucheng next to him couldn't stand it, his butt kept writhing on the chair, and when the female makeup artist who helped him put on makeup hastily laid the foundation for him, he ran out of the gang under the pretext of urgency and never came in again.
However, although Li Junhao's mouth is broken, the skills under his hands are really excellent, and after more than an hour, looking in the mirror, Ahn Junhyuk himself can hardly recognize it.
The sideburns of his original hair had been shaved off, a wig was put on, his long hair was draped behind his head, he was tied in a bun at random, and a few strands of bangs were placed in front of his forehead. The originally heavy eyebrows have also been modified to resemble two willow leaves.
Playing Kong Ji's biggest flaw - eyes, Ahn Jun Hyuk's eye shape belongs to the relatively round category, and he can't show the charm of a weak character from the appearance - but now, Lee Jun Hao uses a few eyeliner strokes to outline, and he turns decay into magic, drawing his eyes narrow and long, similar to Danfeng eyes.
For a moment, he thought it was Jisoo who he saw in the mirror.
And, apparently, he is not alone.
When he put on his makeup and went to report to Li Junyi, Gan Yucheng, who had already arrived, Li Junyi, who was giving orders, and those assistants and field affairs who were busy back and forth, following the director's instructions and preparing to deal with various details, all stopped in a daze, looked at his face, and looked at his legs.
After being stunned for a while, Li Junyi was the first to react, took off his cap, wiped his hair, and hesitated: "Eh...... BOSS?”
"Hehe, how's it going?"
Ahn Joon-hyuk spread his hands and spun around in a half circle to let them see the effect.
Hearing his voice, everyone really woke up, a little stunned, surprised, and surprised, and Gan Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death, I thought your sister would suddenly be able to stand ...... Uh, I don't mean anything else......"
"Oh, it's okay! Director, how's it going?"
Looking him up and down for a moment, Li Junyi held his chin with one hand and nodded: "Very good...... No, it's great! It's much better than I wanted, and it's ...... Huh?"
He froze suddenly.
Ahn Jun-hyuk looked down at himself, "What's wrong?"
Li Junyi didn't answer, and after observing for a while, he turned his head and shouted to Gan Woo Sung, "Woo Sung, you stand next to Jun Hyuk Xi!"
Gan Yucheng was a little strange, but he still came to Ahn Junhyuk's side as instructed, and the next moment, he knew what Lu Dao was doing.
Because he needs to raise his head in order to talk to Ahn Joon-hyuk......
Not long after, at the center of the power of the entire crew, director Li Junyi's shout sounded: "Where's the props? Where's the props? Hurry up, hurry up and make a pair of insoles of at least 10 cm for Gan Yucheng...... Shoes should also be changed...... I don't care how you get it, you have to make his shoes fit into a 10 cm insoles, and give me action!"
……
The real crew is probably like this, there is no rehearsal, and many times, some problems are only discovered when they are filming, and then the whole crew is gradually agitated by the director's roar, which makes the chickens and dogs jump.
was busy for most of the day, and it wasn't until noon that the film officially started.
Fortunately, there is no complicated plot in the first act and the first scene, most of the juggling actions are performed by a professional acrobatic troupe, Ahn Junhyuk and Gan Yucheng only need to read the lines according to the established script, the two of them in this scene are two acrobats who are grandstanding, and they don't need the interpretation of connotation and expression, how to be pretentious.
Gan Woo-sung's acting experience is extremely rich, and Ahn Jun-hyuk's actual ability is not far behind, although there are some NG during the period, it is mostly caused by unskilled cooperation.
Therefore, the filming of the first scene was considered smooth, and before dusk, Lee Junyi shouted "CUT", and the filming of the first scene ended successfully, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief after a busy day.
Only Ahn Joon-hyuk did not relax at all.
According to the description of the script, the "squire master" who had watched the performance of the acrobatic class took a fancy to Kong Ji and bribed the head of the team to ask Kong Ji to accompany him, Kong Ji had to agree to the request of the team leader in order to avoid Changsheng being beaten, and then Changsheng couldn't help but run to save Kong Ji, and after the last time, Kong Ji accidentally killed the team leader, and the two escaped from the acrobatic class and prepared to go to the capital.
This is a very important scene, showing the friendship between Kong Ji, the protagonist of the plot, and Changsheng for the first time, and it is also the first time to express Kong Ji's weak and submissive nature through bullying. (To be continued......)
