Chapter 21: Acting as the second male lead

Stand-in, also known as "stand-in actor", is subdivided into: Wen Ti, Wu Ti, Light Ti, Luo Ti, Hand Replacement, and Position Replacement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The so-called literary substitution is mainly to replace the drama of the big stars who do not show their faces, because the time of the stars is precious, it can be said that every inch of time is gold, so considering the cost of filming, the crew usually only shoots the scenes of the stars showing their faces, and those who do not show their faces need to be replaced by the characters, but this kind of stand-in is not very dangerous because it is not very dangerous, so the remuneration is very small.

The martial arts substitute, which is the most familiar stand-in, also known as the martial arts stand-in, is mainly used as a substitute for actors to shoot fights, flying cars and other difficult actions, these stand-ins are mostly martial arts or stuntmen. The military substitution is dangerous and the technical requirements are high, and the remuneration is much higher than that of the literary substitution.

Light substitution is mainly to stand for the actor so that the gaffer can adjust the lighting, because in some shooting, the role of the gaffer is crucial, and even a slight deviation of the lighting, the shooting effect will be very different, so lighting adjustment is a very time-consuming work. So when they adjust the lights, they can't let the big stars just stand like that! At this time, they need to be in the actor's position, assist the gaffer to adjust the lighting, and then let the official actors shoot after they are adjusted.

Luo Ti is mainly aimed at female actors, and when the full-body actors are unwilling to be filmed with some dew point shots, they will find Luo Ti actors to shoot instead of themselves.

When the shooting requires actors to write soft pen calligraphy, or to paint, play the piano, or conduct performances, they need a stand-in with professional knowledge to complete the highly technical shooting for them.

Substitution is to move for the actor, experienced actors, as soon as they enter the filming set, they can accurately grasp the best position of the lens and automatically walk to the position, but inexperienced actors, or actors who have not learned to move, it is basically difficult to grasp that point, and even a shot can make the director crazy, at this time, a replacement is needed to complete the position for them.

Seeing that everyone was still busy, Shao Gong didn't rest, after going to find Chen Guang, Chen Guang arranged a lot of work for him in order to exercise him, and in the middle of the night, he barely had any time to rest, and he replaced this for that, except for the obese Cheng Yanjin, he almost replaced them all.

Under the careful guidance of the two directors, Shao Gong learned quickly, whether it was lines, action essentials, accuracy of movement and the best position to find lights, he almost understood it at all. This made Tan Youye and Hu Mingkai gasp constantly, and they all praised this newcomer for his super strong learning ability.

At one o'clock in the morning, the crew had less work, and Gong was able to go to the tent to rest. There is also a horse battle at noon, it is a technical job, Shao Gong has never learned to ride a horse, but he has the energy of twenty-one people on the top of his brain, at most, how difficult it can be.

After six hours of sleep, the crew was lively again. They had breakfast, and the crew started a busy day again. The director can sleep more, but the staff who arrange the scene cannot, and the battlefield for a while still needs them and Weiya division, prop master, horse master, film crew, group performance, etc. to prepare in advance.

Shao Gong changed his clothes very quickly, after most of the busy day yesterday, it was not the first time he wore ancient costumes, but he still felt that it was very complicated to wear, there were many layers, but after changing into ancient costumes, he felt that his temperament had changed, and he looked a lot heroic. Due to yesterday's hard work, Shao Gong became a full-time stand-in for the leading actors.

In order to adapt to today's play, Shao Gong specially went to the horse master to learn to ride a horse temporarily. His drama today is that the Sui army attacked Wagangzhai, and all the heroes went into battle to kill the enemy, but the enemy army set up a formation, and they were short of manpower to break the formation, so they could only fight and defend at the same time.

At this time, the old and young of the Shan family were beheaded by Luo Yi, and only one woman escaped from Shan Bing, Luo Cheng escorted her to Wagang, fell out with her family and sent her all the way, just in time to catch up with the Sui army besieging Wagang Village, and he broke through from behind with Shan Bing from the military formation.

The samurai costume that Shao Gong changed into was exactly Luo Cheng's appearance, and riding a horse today was a must. Two hours later, under the guidance of the horse master, he already had some Taoism. Although he could not let the horse gallop like the wind, he had no problem trotting, but his riding posture was a little awkward, and he was a little unable to let go of it for fear of falling off the horse's back.

In fact, this is the psychological effect of the horse master at the beginning, after all, it is the first time to ride a horse, and it is inevitable to be nervous. With the director shouting: "Start." So he rode his horse and came slowly with Shan Bing.

Shan Bing was in front, and he saw a military formation in front of him, and he knew what was going on when he thought about it, after all, even they heard that Shan Xiongxin and Qin Shubao broke the golden embankment first, and then attacked Wagang, which could form a joint encirclement of the Xingyang defenders.

If Xingyang can sit still at this time, it will really be hell.

Shan Bing has been learning martial arts with Wang Bodang since he was a child, and the people in the rivers and lakes are known as "the water sparrow and the cloud swallow, and the ruthless whip chasing the soul for thousands of miles", and his own strength is extremely good. Luo Cheng is armed with a sickle and gun, he is handsome, his personality is also sullen and cold, he has learned family martial arts freely, and he has won the title of "Luo Cheng with a cold face and a cold gun" on the rivers and lakes at a young age. As soon as these two people saw this, they immediately rushed over with their weapons in their hands. Shan Bing rushed into the military formation first, Luo Cheng followed suit, he liked Shan Bing but didn't have a chance to speak, now their whole family was almost killed by his father, and he didn't have the face to speak.

Seeing Shan Bing rushing into the military formation, Luo Cheng swept his silver spear, and immediately three or four people were swept away by him. At this time, the Sui army discovered that there was an enemy behind them, and more than a dozen people shouted, and more than a dozen spears were immediately thrown at them.

At this life-and-death juncture, Luo Xiang couldn't hear any sound, but his eyes accurately grasped the angle and time of arrival of each spear thrown at them. He and Shan Bing were back to back, swept left and right, blocked the front grid, and constantly waved his weapon to resist the attacks of many people, guarding himself to the water.

When the Sui army saw that the spear throwing failed, five or six axemen rushed up and tried to engage in hand-to-hand combat, so as to kill them.

Shan Bing dodged the big knife with his short body, pinched the man's wrist with his backhand, grabbed the big knife and slashed it away, and the man immediately fell to the ground. Luo Cheng picked up the opponent's long knife with a shot, slapped it on the hilt, and squeezed it into the belly of another Sui soldier who came with an axe, knowing that entanglement was not a way, he pulled Shan Bing and said: "Don't entangle, let's break through!" Then the two of them started to fight into the enemy formation.

The Wagang generals in front of him were also fighting with the enemy at the moment, but when they saw that the rear of the enemy army was suddenly in chaos, they couldn't help but feel refreshed, and Cheng Yanjin pointed to the rear and said: "Look, it's Brother Luo." ā€

"It's really Brother Luo, ah, how can there be Bingbing. ā€

Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang also saw the coming, and Xu Maogong, who was born as a Taoist priest, was overjoyed at the moment and said: "Brothers, at this moment, the enemy army has broken the formation, everyone rush!!" Hearing this, the offensive of the Wagang army was even more overwhelming, their crossbow array was smashed by Cheng Yanjin, and the enemy army was powerful and had a powerful formation, and they had already held their breath. At this moment, under the charge of many leaders, the enemy troops continued to fall to the ground one by one, and Luo Cheng and Shan Bing also successfully rushed over and joined forces with everyone in Wagang.

"Card, okay, ready for the next one. ā€

As the director shouted to stop, everyone's spirits suddenly relaxed. Then he didn't make any arrangements, and found a secluded place to sit down. Hong Kong directors can form thousands of troops after filming more than 200 group performances, which seems to be a little stingy, but the effect is still good. After this scene, he can be said to have played with all his strength, every action is fist-to-flesh, every move and style are very in place, and the professional martial arts fingers who watched nodded one after another, secretly praising this little guy as a manufacturable material.

At this time, Hong Kong director Hu Mingkai found Shao Gong and handed him a bottle of mineral water: "Boy, are you very hard-working? I heard that you have been following the filming progress of the crew last night and have been busy until the second half of the night." I got up early this morning, are you tired??" Shao Gong unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a few sips before his throat was refreshed, he looked at Hu Mingkai and said: "In order to shoot realistically, the leading actors almost all really fought, they all worked so hard, and we can't shout tired when we are stand-ins!!"

In fact, although the crew of "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" can form thousands of troops with more than 100 people, they pursue the reality of the picture. In the actual fighting process, Shi Xiaolong, Yu Yuan, and Huang Hibing did a lot of free play in their martial arts movements when they went into battle in person, and suddenly it looked like they were really fighting. And because there are many wine scenes in "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", in order to pursue truth, the director poured all the real wine into the bowl of the heroes, and even the blood wine was mixed with real chicken blood. As soon as this news leaked, it actually attracted many famous brand wineries to sponsor the show, not only "allocating" all the "wine consumption" in the play, but also paying real money for advertising, which inexplicably saved a lot of budget for the expenses of "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".

"Don't be arrogant or impatient, work hard, it's rare for a teenager like you to be seen. ā€

Seeing that Shaogong did not have any complaints about his work, but had a positive attitude, Hu Mingkai appreciated it even more: "I see that you are a mess in ancient costumes, and it is a pity to be a stand-in, so I want to promote you, it just so happens that I still have a drama that will start filming in two months, and one of the male number two has not yet been determined, are you interested in coming to audition!!"

"Male, male number two??"

When Shao Gong heard the news, his face was full of disbelief, and then a spirit was excited, and his spirit was shocked, he could be regarded as waiting for an opportunity, it was not easy, almost tears flowed out, and hurriedly said: "Yes, interested." ā€

"I was talking about auditions, but I didn't say I had to give you the role. ā€

Hu Mingkai smiled and turned away, Shao Gong looked at the back, his confidence was a little lacking, and then Hu Mingkai turned his head to look at him and said, "If you want to get a role, you need more training, understand??"

"Understood, thank you Director Hu. ā€

Shao Gong nodded vigorously, as if there was a gang about to burn in his eyes. In the following days, he devoted himself more fully to filming, and his efforts made many professional actors stunned, because he almost never rested, as long as there was a need for stand-in work, he was there, including small soldiers, generals, leaders of the rebel army, etc., Shaogong can be seen giving them stand-ins. Even when he had free time, he went to help Wia Shi Lavia, and helped the drama to deal with some things he could.

As the wheels of the entire crew continue to roll forward, the filming of "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" has reached the end of the period, and the rest is post-production. Finally, two months after Shaogong was in the crew, they had a final meal, which indicated that the crew was about to be disbanded.

On the morning when he was leaving, Hu Mingkai found him and asked him to report to the new crew with him. Shao Gong followed Hu Mingkai into the car, and then took the plane to Nanhai Film and Television City.

Nowadays, domestic TV dramas are thriving, and the major film and television cities can be said to have contributed a lot, and Nanhai Film and Television City, known as "Chinese Hollywood", is also attracting attention. It is one of the four film and television production bases directly under CCTV, and is located in Songgang Community, under the jurisdiction of Shishan Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province. It wasn't until he arrived at the local place that Shaogong knew that the new crew he was coming to was the filming location of "Young Bao Qingtian".

Shao Gong is no stranger to this drama, because he loved this drama very much in his previous life and watched it several times. According to Hu Mingkai, this is the first part of this drama, a costume drama adapted from the classical work "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", which tells the story of Bao Zheng's crime and love in his youth.

Originally, Hu Mingkai attached great importance to Ren Quan, but after seeing Shaogong's ancient costume in "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", he was very hesitant. Although Ren Quan is very quiet, his ancient costume is very in line with the image of a scholar. But Shaogong has more aura and handsomeness, which is especially compatible with the smart Gongsun Ce, because in this drama set by Hu Mingkai, Gongsun Ce is not only a student image, but also a male number two who is second only to Bao Zheng in intelligence, so blindly creamy Xiaosheng can't highlight the smart aura of the characters.

After the crew dressed up in ancient costumes, Shaogong's whole temperament changed, especially the pair of Danfeng eyes, the tail of the eyes extended obliquely upwards to the temples, the black eyes were hidden and not exposed, and there was a divine light that opened and closed, which made people dare not force their eyes, especially Shaogong who wore ancient costumes, his image was simply handsome to a certain level, and it was 100% in line with Sun Ce's demeanor when he competed with Bao Zheng in the public drama.

After seeing such a young gong, Hu Mingkai immediately made a decision and asked him to play the second male lead in "Young Bao Qingtian", the handsome and intelligent, arrogant Gongsun Ce. Immediately, Hu Mingkai and another director, Cao Jin, opened a press conference for the crew, and all the leading actors appeared at the venue and were interviewed by reporters.

Needless to say, the director said that several leading actors are also people who have experienced battles, but Shao Gong is the only one who faces the reporter's microphone here, and his expression is a little restrained.

"Excuse me, how did you get this role, and how do you feel about the role you are going to play next?"

In the face of reporters who kept asking questions, Shao Gong tried to calm down his nervousness, smiled slightly, and was generous: "I have worked with Director Hu in another drama, and I won this role with my own efforts, and I have my own understanding of the role of Gongsun Ce, I don't think he is a master image like Jin Chaoqun's teacher "Bao Qingtian", he is a character with his own independent temperament. Our drama is very different from the drama of "Bao Qingtian", in the play, Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng are happy enemies, and there are many scenes of wit, I believe that when it is broadcast, the audience will have a bright feeling. Although Shao Gong is still a newcomer, his temperament reveals a stubbornness that is not afraid of any difficulties.

In fact, these reporters were specially invited, and they all gave red envelopes, and the questions they asked were also some simple questions closely related to the actors. If these reporters came up and asked Shao Gong from the school where he graduated, how he got this role through hard work, whether he had any background or anything like that, then it would really be sent with ulterior motives to deliberately make things difficult, if that is the case, Shao Gong will not slaughter the sheep.

Regarding Shaogong saying that he had worked with him, Hu Mingkai saw that the reporter wanted to ask him some more questions, smiled knowingly, and slightly relieved him and said: "Ouyang Shaogong was brought directly by me from another crew and crew, to be honest, when I was in another crew, I paid a lot of attention to him, because this young man is one of the few hard-working talents I have ever seen, in order to meet the requirements of the director, he will continue to demand himself, more rigorous, To figure out the role more diligently, there are very few of his shots that have passed more than three, and the number of shots is directly related to the filming progress, so we chose Ouyang Shaogong to play the second male lead, because he definitely thought twice that he was suitable for this role, so he was allowed to play. ā€

Faced with this answer, the reporters asked other leading actors, Shao Gong looked at him and talked eloquently, he was really relieved, he had too little experience, although he was not afraid of the reporter's difficulties, but he was worried that there would be a mistake in the answer, which would bring unnecessary turmoil to the crew. But seeing that Hu Mingkai gave him a reassuring look, Shao Gong knew that he would not have any worries about this press conference, because the time for the press conference was limited, and the time for many leading actors to be interviewed was also limited, so reporters would not interview around this one actor!

After the press conference ended, it was a self-service cocktail party, and the major leading actors clinked glasses with reporters, Hu Mingkai was worried that Shaogong would make a mistake, so he was not far from him. At this time, a reporter came over, touched a glass with Shao Gong, and said with some uncertainty: "Are you the Shao Gong who wrote "Zhu Xian" on the Western Continent??"

"Well, yes. ā€

For this question, Shao Gong was obviously stunned, but he still generously admitted: "I use my real name on the West Continent, and I will use this name to write novels in the future." However, now the copyright of "Zhu Xian" has signed an agreement with Baodao Sanmin Book Society, and the physical version will be released, so it cannot be published on the Western Continent. ā€

"It turned out to be true. ā€

The reporter looked very excited: "Maybe you don't know, I'm a die-hard fan of Zhuxian, I've been following Zhuolu since I started, and I've become a fanatical fan of Zhuxian when I arrived at Zhuxian, but it's a pity that you only updated to the fourth volume on the Western Continent." As he spoke, he looked at Shao Gong and said, "For the sake of me being your iron fan, can you predict that Baguio will be resurrected later?"

Regarding this question, Shao Gong smiled knowingly: "Yes, but keep it secret." ā€
