Chapter 62: Psychology of Actors
The next morning, the sky was overcast with haze.
When Yunkang and Chen Jingye arrived at Xingyi Company, a group of new artists were already waiting in front of the business bus, both men and women were carrying large bags and small bags, and a few trolley suitcases, as if they were traveling abroad.
In the haze weather, everyone wore thick masks and sunglasses, although they were all newcomers who had never been on the camera, but from the perspective of equipment, some star fans had begun to appear.
"Seeing that the weather may be raining, the temperature in the mountains is low, and the conditions are poor, everyone takes good care of their luggage, and sets up rainproof tents when they go to the place, so as not to get damp in their luggage. A staff member who led the team held a microphone and horn in his hand to explain the precautions to the newcomers.
Xingyi Entertainment is not only a brokerage contract company, but also a star base for training new artists, and also invests in the filming of film and television works, especially the shooting of Xianxia themes, which ranks first in the entire industry.
The investor of this advertising blockbuster is a well-known liquor group, and it has launched a new medicinal and liquor product, so the advertisement takes the path of classical Xianxia, and Xingyi Company is specially entrusted to be responsible for the whole shooting, and Chai's advertising company assists in the release of publicity.
The total investment of the advertising film is as high as 50 million, and it is planned to be made into three to four series, which exceeds the cost of most TV dramas, which is already equivalent to the cost of a medium-sized film.
Therefore, the requirements of the investor are more demanding, that is, they must make Xianxia films realistic and aesthetic, and reduce special effects shots.
After all, people spent 50 million, and it is normal to be a little more demanding. If you make a green cloth indoors, the actors do some fake facial expressions, and then do a little special effects for post-cutouts, then you can just find a third-rate shooting studio to complete it, and you don't have to spend a lot of money to find a star art company.
Xianxia drama is different from urban fashion drama, if you want to shoot realistically, you have to drill into the mountains, where the scenery is beautiful, where is the place where the gods stay. The background of the film should show the mountain peaks and cliffs, gorgeous flowers and plants, and trees into forests, so that the natural scenery is worthy of the theme of Xianxia.
In this way, it is undoubtedly more difficult to shoot. The environmental conditions of filming in the mountains are difficult, and sometimes there are dangers, and some Weiya elevated and camera tracks have to be laid on the scene, which requires the acting skills and performance of new actors to be even more stringent.
Let's not talk about whether the new actors can adapt to the filming process, just one Jiaoweiya can't accept it. Some newcomers had just tied the wire and had already limped their legs before they could be hung up. When the wire was hoisted into the air, he was directly scared to pee, lost three souls and seven spirits, and trembled all over, which often happened.
Some actresses dance with their hands and feet as soon as they hang the tightrope, shouting for a while, covering their eyes with their hands for a while, reciting the lines in advance, and practicing their eye expressions, all of which are forgotten, even if the N machine is twenty or thirty times, they still can't get through.
The actor is slightly better, but his body is flying in mid-air, his limbs are all stiff, his face is tense and there is no expression, and he looks bitter and hateful, which is more uncomfortable than holding urine.
Therefore, if you want to shoot a good Xianxia drama of Hanging Weiya, you must not be afraid of heights, newcomers have nothing to do to ride the roller coaster storm eye, open their eyes and practice their courage, and they will be able to control the tightrope role in the future.
Xingyi Entertainment attaches great importance to this advertising shooting, and the senior management has been ready for a qiē preparation, and the Xianxia advertisement is shot by newcomers, the difficulty coefficient is enhanced, and the probability of reshooting the N machine is also greater. Therefore, for all the staff to overcome the hardships, we must not deal with it casually, but must shoot high-quality products.
Because the actors are all new artists in the company, the personnel cost is relatively low, and most of the cost is spent on costumes and props, lens editing and post-production.
In order to shoot the best results, the company has equipped a super gorgeous shooting production team.
not only used the "Gu Crazy Machine" Gu Dali as the chief director, but also the director Zhou Gongxiang, who has rich shooting experience, as the executive director of the sub-shooting, and two assistant directors assisted. The cameraman and prop master were also invited to make this film a pinnacle-level advertising blockbuster.
Xingyi Company dispatched three business buses and four container trucks transporting equipment, props and luggage. This year's newly signed newcomers are all dispatched, and their respective agents are responsible for pulling them to the shooting site to observe and learn, and to familiarize themselves with the shooting process.
The company plans to invest in a Xianxia TV series after the filming of this film, with new artists playing the leading roles, so it is necessary to train and warm up in advance.
These newcomers have never seen the shooting scene, and they are all excited and novel. In the past, I only watched other people perform on TV, and it felt very distant and unattainable. Suddenly, I was going to participate in the filming and observation, as if I saw the Avenue of Stars in front of me, and I will also be a member of the star team in the near future, and I will be admired and sought after by countless fans.
Thinking of the infinite stars in the future, these newcomers were even more excited, and hurriedly packed their luggage and equipment, lest they bring less important things and affect the observation on the set.
At this time, they saw Yun Kang coming over, dressed very casually, with a thick black jacket and cargo pants, his hands in his trouser pockets, no masks, sunglasses, and even luggage.
"This Yun Kang is too casual, he doesn't bring luggage, so he thinks he's going to shoot in his backyard?" said a newcomer with a wax-covered head.
"You care about him so much, when he gets to Wufeng Mountain, he has nothing, and when the insects bite him and he is swollen, he will know that he is bitter. Another emaciated newcomer followed.
"By the way, did you bring insecticide? I heard from my former brother that you have to bring 84 disinfectant water when you go to the mountains to shoot. ”
"Oops, I really have a bad memory, disinfectant, hand sanitizer, and disposable underwear, I bought them all yesterday, and I forgot to bring them this morning. ”
"What the hell, do you still need to bring a hand sanitizer, I only have a bottle of jack-of-all-trades. ”
"Is the white flower oil I brought, the brand of gold balm you mentioned is not sold in the supermarket. ”
……
A group of people chattered about daily trivialities, and forgot about Yunkang in a blink of an eye.
They were surrounded by several workers in charge of loading the trucks, all wearing uniform uniforms, black baseball caps, and identity tags around their necks. These people listened to the chatter of the new artists, but they didn't say a word, they just buried their heads in their work, loading all kinds of shooting equipment into the car one by one.
Yun Kang observed these people, their bones were strong, they were five big and three thick, there were several green tendons bulging on the back of their hands, the temples on both sides of their foreheads were slightly protruding, and the qi of the dantian was very strong, obviously they were all martial artists.
He hurriedly used his divine sense to probe and check the level of these people, and after probing, he found that they had the skill of the Yellow Rank entry, and they had not yet reached the level of the early stage of the Yellow Order.
Yunkang remembered what Shen Duo said in the USB flash drive video, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, did Xingyi Company take these people to Wufeng Mountain really just to shoot a Xianxia commercial?
At this time, Chen Economy ran up from the back of the car, carrying a backpack travel bag, pushing a trolley case in his hand, panting and saying: "Kang, why don't you take the box, we don't have enough to bring this little thing." ”
Chen Jingye originally prepared four large boxes, but in the end, Yunkang only asked him to carry the smallest one, which contained a few toiletries and underwear, and did not bring anything else.
"Don't worry, we have a lot of good things, and we don't lack anything. Yun Kang said with a smile.
Everyone stopped at Chen Economy's trolley suitcase, thinking to themselves what could be contained in such a small box? Yunkang was overloaded this time, and there was a time when he cried.
This group of new artists is all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred for Yunkang, originally they joined the company at the same time, all of them have no training, no acting skills, and the qualifications are similar.
But Yunkang had the best luck, he became the leading actor as soon as he signed the contract, while the other newcomers could only go to the set to observe and learn, and they didn't even have a supporting role.
The difference in treatment is too big, it will inevitably make them feel unbalanced, and they want to squeeze him when they see Yunkang.
Yun Kang is too lazy to pay attention to these trivial things, does he still need to bring luggage when he goes out, just throw it into the dragon swallowing ring. He has more than 70 square meters of space, and can put down piles of tent clothes and eating and drinking utensils.
In order to eat something good during the filming, he even brought a generator, an induction cooker, charcoal, a barbecue rack, a whole set of cooking utensils, drinking water, beer and drinks, and all kinds of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar seasonings.
I also specially bought two Texas grilled chickens, a large piece of Xu Ji sauce beef, five catties of raw mutton for barbecue skewers, and a few big kidneys. The aura flows in the space, and there are no bacteria, it is a natural fresh-keeping box, what smell when you put things in, and what taste when you take them out.
The only thing Yunkang has to guard against is the little yellow bean, this poor beast is a carnivore, don't look at it, swallow his two Texas grilled chickens.
He used his divine sense to communicate with Xiao Huangdou: "The beans, roast chicken, beef and mutton are all mine, and those mica medicinal materials are yours, don't eat them secretly." ”
Xiao Huangdou was very disdainful of him, "Cut! This beast only eats fresh live meat, two dead chickens, and a bunch of dead beef and mutton, whoever likes to eat it." Only you humans with bad teeth will eat dead things. Axixi, the dead meat smells strange, this beast is a noble ancient beast, so I don't eat those things. ”
After the team leader's staff gave instructions, they handed out a book to each newcomer. Yunkang looked at the cover, which said "Actor Psychology".
The team leader shouted through the loudspeaker: "The journey to Wufeng Mountain is about four hours, if you are bored, read this book in the car and study hard." After the filming of this scene, you have to take an exam, and if you fail in psychology, you can't participate in artist training. ”
Before he finished speaking, the newcomers were already in an uproar, and the scene became noisy. They hate reading the most, it's easy to stop going to school, and they get into the entertainment industry to be a star, and they actually have to study for exams, it's really crazy.
In order to improve the artist's appearance, Xingyi Company specially opened a course for newcomers, called "Actor Psychology".
Generally speaking, the psychological element of an artist is several times stronger than that of ordinary people, and when a newcomer first mixes in the entertainment industry, he is thin-skinned, and his psychological element is too poor, and he can't think about it when he is scolded for a few words, and he is often angry and depressed.
There are also some artists who become popular too quickly, thinking that they are the best in the world, arrogant and uninhibited, and do not respect other actors during the filming process, which has an extremely bad impact, and is finally excluded and banned by the entire entertainment industry.
Therefore, it is not easy to mix well in the entertainment industry, which not only requires artists to have courage, courage, acting skills, and personality, but also to have excellent psychological qualities and be able to withstand all kinds of good and bad pressures.
Xingyi Company lets new artists learn "Actor Psychology" in order to improve their psychological literacy.
As long as you understand psychology, you can not only figure out the characters in the play, but also build yourself into a healthy image that meets the public's aesthetic standards, and show your character appropriately, neither humble nor arrogant, not hidden. Quite a successful artist, these are necessary conditions.
Yunkang took the book in his hand, flipped through it casually, looked at the cases inside, and found that mastering psychology has another side benefit, that is, cultivating the ability to fight with others.
The wise saying in the entertainment industry is: People fighting with the sky are not fighting, and people fighting with others are endlessly fun. Many people act a lot, and their ability to observe and imitate has become stronger, so they are naturally exquisite and shrewd and calculating. Therefore, it is very beneficial to study "Actor Psychology".
After the luggage was loaded, the newlyweds lined up to sit on the business bus, and the seven big cars printed with the words "Xingyi Entertainment" started slowly.
Yunkang sat in the middle of the place, looking at the scenery speeding by outside the window, a strange freshness emerged in his heart, and he couldn't hold back his excitement.
is going to the location to film, and also plays a fairy hero, this experience is really the first time for a big girl to go on a sedan chair for immortal cultivators.
Yan Ruoxuan, with long hair and a shawl, dressed in plain black, sat quietly with Yunkang, and the seats next to the aisle were Chen Economy and Qi Zhongxuan.
Qi Zhongxuan signed a long-term contract for 20 years, and originally wanted to follow Yan Ruoxuan as an artist, but Yan Da's agent had too many artists to take care of him, so the company assigned him to the most idle agent: Chen Jingye.
Qi Zhonglu has no opinion on such an arrangement, after all, Yunkang is an artist under Chen Economy, and Yunkang saved his father and is the great benefactor of his family.
His father's body gradually recovered, and Qi Zhonglu also had an almost blind admiration and admiration for Yunkang, and he was very happy to be the same agent as him. Later, the two became brothers in the same sect, and they could support each other and fight the world together.
Behind Yunkang's seat is Dai Mei, who is exquisitely dressed and exudes an elegant fragrance all over her body, and a personal assistant sits next to her.
Originally, a popular star like her had her own nanny car to pick her up, and she was directly accompanied by an assistant to the filming location.
But because of what happened last time, Dai Mei felt a little guilty about Yunkang, and wanted to get close to him on the way to Wufeng Mountain and ease the relationship a little. After all, the two play the male and female protagonists in the commercial, and if they still have a tight face when they meet, how embarrassing it will be when filming.
The car drove for more than ten minutes, and Dai Mei couldn't hold back her feelings, stretched her neck and looked forward, looking for a chance to talk to Yunkang.
At this time, Yan Ruoxuan suddenly tilted his head slightly, his eyes flowed, and said to Yunkang: "My father's leg injury is all healed by you, thank you." ”
Yunkang turned his head to look at her, and replied with a smile: "What are you polite to me, just say this and see the outside." By the way, you've been in the hospital for so many days, when will you come back, I eat a boxed lunch every day, waiting for you to cook and make food. ”
As soon as Dai Mei's head came up, she heard Yunkang say these words, and she immediately wanted to crook.
Her face twitched, wouldn't it, the two of them lived together?
