Chapter 027: Classes start on the set

After the big boss Li Zuyong finished speaking, everyone returned to the dormitory, and after another six or seven days, Yang Qiu and the others had nothing to do, and the more they passed, the more they felt wrong.

As soon as a few people were summed up, it suddenly dawned, now that the actor class is all here, why don't classes start yet?

Everyone was worried for a while, could it be that something had happened? Finally, Yonghua got out of work, and the eight of them blocked the head teacher who had just gotten off work, Teacher Gu Zhongyi, at the door of the dormitory.

"Classes?"

Teacher Gu lifted the briefcase in his hand, tilted his head and thought about it, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, you have been here for so long, and it is time for class to start." ”

“……”

Yang Qiu complained in his heart, and he couldn't help but have an ominous shadow in his heart about this actor training class.

As soon as the words came out, Teacher Gu felt that something was wrong, and immediately raised his right hand slightly to reassure: "Don't worry, everyone, in the past two days, everyone will take care of their own private affairs, and the course will be totaled with the above, and the class will be opened for everyone as soon as possible." ”

Since the head teacher said so, everyone couldn't continue to ask, so they had to go back to their own house and continue to fish and dry their nets.

Just two days later, several people finally received the news that classes were about to start.

Early in the morning, the eight of them were neatly dressed up, and followed the head teacher Gu Zhongyi to the Yonghua studio by bus.

However, when they arrived at the set, several people did not drill into the classroom in the room, but were taken to the rooftop, and then met their first teacher, martial arts teacher Zhou Lei.

Well, look, is there a training class that doesn't have a classroom?!

Zhou Lei is Yonghua's basic actor, but he is definitely not a horn, in layman's terms, he is a dead trick with a salary and a position. This guy is over fifty, he is five big and three thick, and he can order the kung fu of a three-legged cat, and he can't teach advanced kung fu, but it's enough to teach you a pose.

Many people in Wufu are rude and love to brag, and Zhou Lei is naturally not surprised. In addition to swearing all day long, he also likes to talk about his glorious history, what so-and-so star has also been his apprentice, what has saved the life of a certain star, etc., it is all a set.

So Yang Qiu basically didn't learn anything except for learning a squatting horse step and a goose style with his butt falling into the sky.

What's even more strange is that from the beginning to the end of the entire actor training class, only Zhou Lei has taught them a lesson, and it is only a martial arts class.

Look at what classes Li Hanxiang took at the Magic City Drama School! Acting practice, vocal music, Chinese and stage sets, there is no shortage of them, and then look at Yonghua.

What the hell is this?

In fact, Yonghua also gave them a dance class, and wanted to teach them physique, so he invited the famous ballet teacher Dai Ailian. How good is this Dai Ailian? Well, Baidu Encyclopedia explains everything, this is the character that Vice President Zhou and Vice Vice President Song have received.

It's a pity that Teacher Dai only showed up once, and then disappeared.

Later, Yang Qiu heard that during that time, Teacher Dai and her husband happened to be divorcing, and they didn't care about class. After the divorce, the family returned to the mainland, and they couldn't take classes, so the dance class was gone.

To say that during this training class, Yang Qiu's favorite thing is the lunch time.

Why?

Because during lunch meals, Mr. Gu will tell them about the history of Chinese film while eating. This is really a relief for Yang Qiu, who is still black-eyed.

Therefore, after the training class started, Yang Qiu's state was that he went to the company's rooftop every morning to attend classes, mainly to listen to Zhou Lei's bragging, and then listen to Teacher Gu's history at noon, and then have nothing to do in the afternoon.

It just so happened that during this time, Yonghua's great director Cheng Bubu was filming "Spring City Flowers", so if there was nothing to do in the afternoon, a group of people would go to the set to visit.

Yonghua does not plan to shoot a lot of films every year, and there are only seven or eight movies a year, so at this time, there is only one "Spring City Flowers" in the whole audience, and it only occupies one studio.

As for the other studio, the door is locked and there is no customer acceptance.

As mentioned earlier, the set at this time is not closed to the public, and idle people are allowed to enter to watch, not to mention Yang Qiu, who was originally Yonghua, fortunately, there are not many star chasers at this time, and the situation on the set is still under control.

But if you still make a lot of noise during filming, the director will have to drive people away with a black face.

Yang Qiu's two worlds combined, it was the first time to enter the studio, so he was a little excited at first, and his eyes widened and he scanned the studio several times to see what it looked like.

Needless to say, the scenery and the like, "Flowers in the Spring City" is an urban emotional drama, and the set is similar to those in the sitcoms of later generations, and there are more characteristics of the times, but it can't be made of flowers.

What makes Yang Qiu feel the most different is that there is no monitor in front of the director.

A director's chair, with a low table next to it, and a script and a teacup on the low table, constitute all the tools of the director.

As for monitors and the like, I'm sorry, but today's TVs are big and heavy, and the screens are still small, so they haven't developed at all. Just last year, it was the first time it began to be used in the field of surveillance - still in hospitals, and I don't know how long it will take for it to reach the film industry.

So that's when making a movie, the cinematographer and the storyboard are very important. The director must first explain to the photographer what picture he wants to shoot, otherwise the photographer will shoot randomly, and the director will be blind.

Yang Qiu heard Li Hanxiang tell an old story about the film industry in the old magic capital.

It is said that there was a conflict between a director and a photographer, on the surface the photographer didn't say anything, and when he was shooting the next day, he deliberately didn't put the film in the camera, but he finished shooting in the morning, and he slapped his forehead and said, 'Oh no, forgot to put the film', this is good, he was fired as a squid, but the director was confused.

How many manpower, material and financial resources have to be accompanied in this morning!

So, at this time, you'd better not offend the photographer, and if you offend, you have to replace it immediately, otherwise he will have a lot of ways to fix you.

Not to mention the lose-lose method of not putting the film, he will take the wrong two shots for you casually, at this moment without a monitor, you can't find it immediately, and wait for you to find him afterwards, not to mention whether he recognizes it or not, it is better to think about how to remedy it if you have spare time.

A meter away from the director's seat, there was a Mitchell camera, which was an old-fashioned camera with two Mickey Mouse ears for Yang Qiu, which looked big and heavy. But for Xiangjiang and the whole world, this guy is already advanced.

You must know that most of the studios in Xiangjiang are still using silent cameras handed down from the silent film era in the twenties and thirties.

This silent camera is not only bigger and heavier than Mitchell, but also because there is no sound effect in the silent film era, the silent camera was designed without considering noise at all.

This thing is okay in the silent film era, but as soon as it enters the sound era, it hurts, you must know that today's movies are real-time sound.

The actors here are talking their lines, but there is a bunch of buzzing in the film, who can stand it! Fortunately, the wisdom of the working people is infinite, isn't it just a sound separation, just wrap two layers of quilts in the sound source.

But the noise is gone, but the camera can only be moved by one person, and now there are no three or four people who can't move it.

So at this time, Yang Qiu remembered a film review about Xiangjiang movies in later generations, and it hurt - the rise of handheld photography technology in the 60s is a clear proof that Xiangjiang film art has made great strides forward!

You came to Xiangjiang in the 50s to play handheld photography and try it?! Don't you have your arms......

Because today's films are all real-time recording, the footage is mostly close-up, and the camera and director are a little closer to the actors. They were close to Yang Qiu, and Yang Qiu also saw several leading actors up close.

Forehead...... I don't know any of them.

Fortunately, there is also a movie pass Li Hanxiang next to Yang Qiu, who whispered to him about the actors while watching the excitement.

The actress doesn't need to say much, but the actor made Yang Qiu look twice, because this guy appeared in Li Hanxiang's mouth, it was the silver altar overlord that Li Hanxiang knew him, but he didn't know Li Hanxiang - Wang Yuanlong!

Could it be that Wang Yuanlong, who used to be in Greater China, also signed a contract with Yonghua?

Of course not!

In these years, the drama appointments between famous actors and directors are generally the head appointments, that is, how many plays I shoot with you in a year is OK, and you can leave the rest alone.

So no matter what Yonghua said when he opened, he said something like signing Zhou Xuan Baiyang, it was just a good talk, but in fact, it was all a ministry's contract, and people could still take over the drama freely outside.

Unlike later, the rise of the large-scale studio system that combined theaters and production, and the use of drama appointments fixed people to death. When it comes to Jiang Dawei, I think of Shaw Brothers, when I talk about Hong Jinbao, I think of Jiahe, and when I talk about Huang Baiming, I think of Xinyicheng.

So this Wang Yuanlong just came to Yonghua to take over a play.
