Time flies, and it's not long before it's time for lunch.

The crew of the crew, including actors and stars, basically eat the boxed lunches provided by the crew. It's just that the celebrities eat a boxed lunch with a proper combination of meat and vegetables, and Zhang Ran and their group performances are three big pots like feeding pigs, each pot contains a dish, watery, and there are no oil flowers at all, and it is simply a bodhisattva's grace to find two shredded meat. The person who handed out the lunch box took a disposable lunch box, took a big spoon, and gave the group performance everything to serve, and sent it away.

There are no tables and chairs for the group performers to eat, and there is no place to sit, so they can only find a random place to squat and eat. Most of the students in Zhang Ran's class did a group performance for the first time, but they didn't feel unfair, but they were very novel, everyone squatted under the wall and chatted and ate at the same time.

Nortel students have always disliked the unpalatable food in the school cafeteria, but the food in Nortel's cafeteria is really not very good, and they can often eat sand in the rice and insects in the vegetable leaves. Because of this, the business on the third floor is very hot, from 11 to 12 noon, and from 5 to 6 pm, there are almost no seats in Quaqua.

But compared with the boxed lunch in front of you, Nortel's meals can be regarded as delicacies, this boxed lunch is really similar to pig food, how unpalatable and unpalatable it is.

Huang Shengyi ate two bites, she couldn't eat anymore, where had she ever eaten such an unpalatable thing, and couldn't help complaining: "It's so unpalatable, I always thought that the school cafeteria was the most unpalatable, which was a hundred times more unpalatable than the school cafeteria!"

Zhang Xinyi rarely agreed with Huang Shengyi once: "That's it, compared with this, the school canteen is a five-star chef!"

Jia Nailiang complained: "I've grown so big, I haven't eaten such an unpleasant thing, is this really what people eat?"

……

Zhang Ran was also a little unfazable, it was too unpalatable, but he still persuaded: "If it's unpalatable, you have to eat it, maybe you won't have to wait until the evening to shoot this scene, you have to maintain your physical strength, are you going to be hungry for a day?"

Cao Bingkun also persuaded: "Don't complain, it's okay in summer, if it's winter, you must eat it in a few bites, otherwise it will be cold in two minutes." ”

At half past one in the afternoon, Zhang Ran and the others were taken to the filming site.

The crew divided them into two groups along with other extras, one group played the seller, the other played the pedestrian on the street, and Zhang Ran played the pedestrian on the road.

Within a few minutes, the crew pushed a rocker arm about three meters long and came to the street, and at the top of the rocker arm was a gimbal with a camera with a flashing red light.

An assistant director wearing glasses stood on the steps and raised a loudspeaker to assign tasks: "Sell things and hurry up to the stalls, and the passers-by stand on the street." ”

Immediately afterwards, he personally came over to arrange the positions of the extras and instructed everyone how to go.

Extras are particular about acting, being an extras must be able to steal the spotlight, and when filming, they must be able to grab the position, especially close to the position of the leading actor, there is the possibility of showing their faces, which is an absolute golden position.

Most of the students in Zhang Ran's class have never filmed, they don't understand the twists and turns, and they don't have the intention of stealing the show. Of course, it is impossible for the assistant director to arrange the prime position to them, because their appearance is too outstanding.

Whether it is a movie or a TV series, the small supporting characters around the protagonist generally cannot be too beautiful to avoid distraction from the audience. For example, in a costume drama, the heroine is the eldest lady, if Wang Luodan plays it, then the maid's actor has to find an ordinary, even ugly look. If Liu Yifei is asked to play the maid, the audience's eyes will definitely stay on Liu Yifei's face, so who is the protagonist? Even if you really want to use Liu Yifei to play the maid, then you must make her ugly, so as to highlight Wang Luodan's leading role.

Beauties are all entrusted!

Because of this, Zhang Ran and his students were driven to the side of the street to make human flesh backgrounds, and several more shabby-looking ones, including Wang Baoqiang, were specially selected to support the brilliance of the protagonist.

It was half past two.

The leading actors of the crew finally appeared, one of them was wearing a brocade robe, looking very spirited, it was Chen Xiaochun, the pheasant in "Crazy Boy". Next to Chen Xiaochun is a young girl, young and beautiful, and she looks good, but if she puts Zhang Ran in class, she can only be considered average.

A middle-aged man who looks like a director, holding a script in his hand, talks to Chen Xiaochun and the actress, Chen Xiaochun and the female star nod for a while, and echo a few words for a while.

After the director finished the play, the two actors went to touch up their makeup. The crew started quickly, the rocker arm was pulled to the designated position, the photographer sat up, the lighting team held the reflector, the recording crew propped up the boom, and the assistant director ran forward and backward to direct the extras to move.

Chen Xiaochun and the female star finished touching up their makeup, and the crew were all in place and everything was ready. The scene reporter took the filled out board, pointed it at the lens of the camera, and clicked the board.

"The first shot of the fifty-fifth scene of the seven-pin Qincha Liu Luo pot!"

"Let's go!"

With the director's order, the extras on the street began to move around, making a noise, as if they had traveled to ancient times. Chen Xiaochun and the actress walked side by side, giggling and saying their lines. The camera lens followed the figures of the two leading actors, and Wang Baoqiang, who was passing by, was taken along.

Zhang Ran knew that the possibility of being photographed in the camera was zero, but he didn't care at all, he didn't squint, and played his role with his heart.

After only one shot, the director announced that this shot had passed, and then the next shot.

Zhang Ran shook his head secretly in his heart, this can be passed, what kind of thing is playing, no wonder there are fewer and fewer high-quality TV series! He knows that TV series shooting is not as elaborate as movie shooting, it is often rushed, basically 3 days is an episode, and the shots that can be made up are okay, but this shot is inevitably too improvised!

Filming was until five o'clock in the afternoon, all the scenes on the street were completed, and the filming was transferred indoors, so there was no need for Zhang Ran and their group performances.

The woman who brought Zhang Ran and them in, the group leader named Sister Xia, walked up to Zhang Ran and asked, "There is a play in Huairou Feiteng Base tomorrow, will you go?"

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "We are extras, of course we go!"

"Then I'll make a note and gather at the gate of Beijing Film Studio at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. Sister Xia wrote down everyone's names and contact information, and agreed to go to Huairou to film the next morning.

The students in Zhang Ran's class all received thirty yuan in wages, the crew paid forty-five, and Sister Xia deducted fifteen yuan. This is considered merciful, most of the group leaders will deduct half, and the ruthless ones will deduct more than half. Forty or fifty yuan of work, tell you only fifteen yuan, do you want to do it? If you don't do it, we have people in our hands, anyway, China lacks everything, there is no shortage of people!

Although each person only received 30 yuan, after all, it was earned by their own hard work, and the students were very happy, discussing where to go for dinner in the evening as they walked.

Came out of the North Film Studio and went back to school. Zhang Ran asked the students to gather in the playground, then looked at the crowd and asked, "Today, we did a group performance for a day, now I ask you a question, who are the characters you play today, what is your name, who are the people in the family, and why are they on the street?"

The students in the class were confused by Zhang Ran's question, just a trick, no lines, who knows what it's called, what it does? Which normal person would do character design for this kind of trick!

Ji Chen felt that Zhang Ran was embarrassed, and he was very unconvinced: "Teacher Zhang, what about the role you played?"

Zhang Ran smiled faintly: "The role I play is called Zhang Feng, the word is Dongzhu, Qianlong has been talented for three years, there are six people in the family, father Zhang Ling, mother Qian, wife Bai Zhi is the daughter of teacher Bai Wenyan, Zhang Feng and his wife have a son and a daughter......

Zhang Ran talked for a long time, from the family environment, interpersonal relationships, to what he likes to eat, what hobbies he has, whose articles he likes to read, etc., without the slightest pause, he said it in one breath.

The students in the class were all stupid, this was definitely not made up, but really designed, otherwise Zhang Ran would not have been able to say it so fluently. Many people looked at Zhang Ran in a broken heart, Mr. Zhang, just run a trick, what are you doing?

"Maybe you will say, isn't it just a role, why are you so serious!" Zhang Ran knew what they were thinking from the expressions of the students, and said loudly, "But I want to tell you, there are no small roles, only small actors! Great actors are often accumulated from small roles! I don't know if you have seen the movie "Black Gold"? Can anyone tell me who plays better in this movie, Leung Jiahui and Andy Lau?"

Jia Nailiang raised his hand and said: "Teacher Zhang, Liang Jiahui acted well, Liang Jiahui acted too domineering!"

Zhang Ran said: "Why does Leung Jiahui play better than Andy Lau?"

Jia Nailiang replied: "Because Liang Jiahui's acting skills are good, Liang Jiahui is a powerful faction, and Andy Lau is an idol!"

Zhang Ran asked again: "Why is Liang Jiahui's acting skills so good?"

Jia Nailiang thought for a while and said, "Because he is highly talented!"

Zhang Ran said lightly: "Liang Jiahui is very unfamiliar with Taiwan's political gangsters, when filming "Black Gold", in order to play a good role, he went to Taiwan two months before the start of filming to experience life, collect information, read the stories of gangsters, understand their family backgrounds, observe their clothes, what gangsters in the north and south like to eat, etc. In the movie, Zhou Chaoxian's dislike of wearing leather shoes is derived from Leung Ka-fai's observation, and the details of Zhou Chaoxian wearing a suit with a pair of flip-flops were designed by Leung Ka-fai. Leung Ka-fai observed for two months and wrote a character biography of more than 100,000 words! An actor can write a character biography of more than 100,000 words, to what extent does he understand the role? How can he not act well!

The students in the class were all stupid, more than 100,000 words of character biographies, what kind of concept is that, that is equivalent to writing a book!

Zhang Ran continued: "Leung Ka-fai is one of the actors with the widest path in Chinese film drama, playing 100 roles is 100 different characters, unlike many actors who play themselves and play themselves. The reason why he was able to do this? The reason is that before the start of each movie, he would devote himself to studying the characters and insisting on writing biographies!"

Everyone was speechless, the reason why great actors are great is that in addition to talent, their efforts are actually more important!

Zhang Ran glanced at the audience and said loudly: "Actor's character creation is a complex process, from when we get the script to the final completion of the role, there are many processes in between, and the character biography is a crucial part of it. An actor, if you want to play a role well, you must insist on writing a short biography, and this is what I want to teach you today!"
