Chapter 70, director Zhao Xin!
The interview with Triangle Paper Media began at half past two in the afternoon and ended at six in the evening.
But Galen's work was not over, he changed into casual clothes and rushed to the set of "Fallen City".
North Putuo Film and Television City.
After driving for nearly an hour and a half, I arrived at this film and television city located in the sixth ring road of Beijing.
Compared with those big film and television bases, this place is obviously a lot depressed, surrounded by barren grass and few people, it is a film and television base, but there is not even a single tourist.
At the same time, there are quite a few crews working here, so there are also a lot of cars in the parking lot, which are probably from those actors or crews.
After getting out of the car, McNugget made a phone call and waited for someone from the crew to pick it up.
After only ten minutes, a middle-aged woman appeared in sight, waved at them, and walked up quickly, "Are you Galen?"
"Yes, hello teacher!"
Galen's mouth is very sweet, no matter what people do, it's always right to call the teacher first.
Sure enough, the middle-aged woman's attitude changed drastically, and she instantly smiled and said, "Hello, hello, I'll call you Aaron! Let's go, I'll take you to the set!"
"Thank you, teacher!" said Galen, politely.
"My surname is Hao, just call Sister Hao!"
The middle-aged woman smiled from ear to ear, "Young man, what kind of play have you acted in before?"
"No!" Galen shook his head, "I've never been to a place like this before!"
"Huh, who introduced you here?" Sister Hao was stunned for a moment, and instantly gossiped, could it be that she went through the back door?
Galen laughed and said, "The company let me!"
"Oh!" Sister Hao replied, and then asked no more.
There are many such examples, just the crew of "Fallen City", there are many newcomers stuffed into companies and studios, and they may not be actors from professional colleges before, maybe they are models, Internet celebrities, new singers, and even retired athletes.
This middle-aged eldest sister may be because of Galen's teacher, who talked a lot along the way, and kept giving him the rules of the popular science crew.
Under the leadership of Sister Hao, Galen successfully entered the film and television city.
Compared to the depression outside, the inside can be described as a unique cave, like a lively town, with all kinds of people dressed up.
There are Qing palace costumes with big braids, Republic of China costumes with long shirts and short hair, and there are ancient refugee costumes that can't be seen in the dynasty.
If there is no one to bring it, this crew is really hard to find, just across the road, there is a crew on the left, and another crew on the right.
"This way!"
Sister Hao pulled Galen and walked around in a small alley, then went up another street, and finally walked into a quaint three-story building.
Look at the plaque on the small building - Wanhua Building!
Galen suddenly realized that this was probably filming a Qinglou scene.
Isn't it a scholar?
How did you run to the Qinglou?
With a stomach full of questions, Galen finally met the main protagonist, the director and assistant director of the show.
The director is tall and thin, with a very humanistic temperament.
The assistant director is different, he is fat and strong, and the vest on his body can't be buttoned, giving people a feeling of oily head and slippery brain.
"Good director! Good assistant director!"
Galen shook hands when he came up, and the two of them were also very enthusiastic, especially the director, "Hello Galen! My name is Zhao Xin! I heard from the company that you were coming in the morning, but I finally looked forward to you!"
The assistant director followed and said, "That's it, our Director Zhao's favorite song to listen to now is your song "Once You", when will this song be officially released?"
"Come on, let's guess June!"
Galen smiled, according to the company's plan, the four songs "Once You", "Just Once", "Betrayal" and "I'm a Little Bird" are included in the soundtrack of the movie "Youth Breaking the Wind", which will be released in June, and the soundtrack is also a matter of those days!
"Great! It's not long before you count the days!"
Zhao Xin said happily, "By the way, I applied with the company, I hope that our drama can use your song "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" as the ending song, I don't know if I can agree!"
"I guess I can!"
Galen looked at his expectant eyes and couldn't help but smile, "I'll help you ask!"
"Thank you so much!" Zhao Xin instantly frowned.
At this time, a girl dressed as a maid walked up, first stuck out her tongue at Zhao Xin, and then timidly said to Galen, "Hello! Galen, can you sign for me?"
"Good!" said Galen smiled, he was thrilled to be asked for an autograph for the first time.
Immediately pick up the brush and write down your name.
The little girl said playfully, "Let's take a group photo!"
After speaking, regardless of whether Galen agreed or not, he picked up the prepared mobile phone and started shooting.
Galen had no choice but to cooperate.
After taking a few photos, the little girl ran away happily.
Zhao Xin on the side couldn't help but sneer, "Let you laugh, she is actually my sister, called Zhao Xian!"
"Oh!" Galen looked back before he said seriously, "Very good, clever and cute!"
"Haha! Let's go, I'll tell you a story!"
With that, Zhao Xin handed over the on-site work to the assistant director and pulled Galen to the side of the room to guide.
This is a very typical ancient wing room, which has a very ancient style.
But when I saw those things in the crew, I was out of the play in another moment.
Zhao Xin handed over a script belonging to Galen - in fact, it was only four pages.
These four pages tell a small plot, and Galen's character is called Xue Yi, who is a prostitute...... No, it was a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, passing by Wanhualou, and was attracted by the talent and beauty of the top famous prostitute Zhou Shishi.
The rule of Wanhualou is that whoever can compose a poem according to the title of Zhou Shishi and win Zhou Shishi's favor can stay in her boudoir for one night.
All the candidates were eager to try, and finally Xue Yi won the favor of Zhou Shishi with a poem with excellent writing and won the fragrance of flowers......
"Our drama is about the tragic life of a beautiful woman like Zhou Shishi, Xue Yi played by you is the only man Zhou Shishi loves in her life, but he is just a passerby in her life, short-lived, until the end of her life, she never appeared again!"
Zhao Xin told Galen about the content of the play, and at the same time described the role played by Xue Yi in the play.
After hearing this, Galen couldn't help but say, "Is it a negative man?"
"Uh...... Let's just say that!"
Zhao Xin smiled, "It's just acting, you don't have to feel guilty!"
"Oh!"
Galen looked at the script carefully, he was afraid that he would not be able to act well, although this scene seemed to be just a few scenes and a few lines, but it carried the soul of the whole play - he himself thought so, because without Xue Yi, maybe Zhou Shishi's ending would not be so tragic.
Besides, this is the first time he has been electrocuted, so he has to act well anyway.
"You feel the feeling again, memorize the lines, it's very simple, shoot it almost dark in a while, and I'll come in and call you when the time comes!"
Zhao Xin patted Galen on the shoulder, got up and left the room after speaking.
Galen was left alone to read the script seriously.
It's a challenge and an opportunity for him.
In that second-hand notebook, there are many blockbusters and excellent film and television dramas from other worlds, and sooner or later he will have to take out these works, and now is the best time to lay the foundation.
An hour later.
It was completely dark.
Galen put his hands behind his back, clasped his lines on the table, and practiced those lines and expressions off the script.
Especially the so-called well-written poem, he recited it several times in a low tone before he felt satisfied.
At this time, Zhao Xin walked in again, "Is it okay?"
"Hmm! Let's get started!"
Galen nodded, very nervous.
"Okay, let's change your clothes!"
At Zhao Xin's instructions, McNugget and a costumer walked in to help Galen change his clothes.
In this kind of costume drama, you don't even have to take off your own clothes, just put on the crew's costumes directly, but when you get a fake head covering, it takes a lot of work.
Everything was sorted out, and Zhao Xin went out of the door and came to the light camera.
"Are you sure?" Zhao Xin asked again.
"That's it!" Galen nodded.
In the first scene, Galen is outside the Wanhua Tower, looking like he has just entered the capital.
All this shot is a shot of Galen coming from a distance.
"Be careful not to look at the camera, just like you usually go shopping, and show a lot of freshness, you know?" the assistant director instructed Galen as he showed him where to stand.
"Three, two, one, Action!"
Under the camera, Galen looked around like a mountain cannon entering the city, looking east and west with excitement, the book basket on his back swayed, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a young child......
"Click!"
Zhao Xin shouted, but Galen was still "performing" excitedly.
Suddenly, the people around him burst into laughter.
Some of them are already unkind to Galen, which will be a little more disdainful.
"Stop!"
Zhao Xin was also embarrassed, and when he saw Galen not stopping, he ran out from behind the monitor and stopped Galen.
"Huh?"
Galen looked at him suspiciously, he was so involved just now that he only wanted to perform well, and he didn't hear anything.
Now that Zhao Xin was so confused, he immediately came back to his senses, "Director Zhao, what's wrong!"
"Hey, don't act like that!"
Zhao Xin smacked his lips and talked to non-acting professionals, unable to say a word or two, so he could only say patiently, "Your performance just now is like a mountain man entering the city, very ...... Silly!"
"Silly?"
Galen wants to cry without tears, does he feel good about himself?
How can you be stupid?
"You shouldn't be so performant, take a little more! You're a scholar, you read Confucianism, the Four Books and the Five Classics, you should have a scholarly atmosphere, understand?"
"Understood!"
Galen nodded, "You mean it's like a nerd?"
"Yes, it's a little interesting, but you can't be too stupid, at least show your desire and curiosity about the prosperity of the capital!"
"Oh! I see!"
Galen pondered, "I'll try again!"
"Come again!"
After speaking, Zhao Xin ran back to the director's position and shouted: "Three, two, one, Action!"
Under the camera, Galen walked slowly from the street, this time, he had a bit more literati temperament.
