In late April, there is only a little more than a week left before May Day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hengdu Film and Television City, the sun dispelled the haze, Tang Nian ran on the streets of the film and television city as always, but recently he was used to wandering around the filming point, and the Qin and Han City neighborhoods that he used to go to have been abandoned.

In the distance, Tang Nian saw several figures, near the shooting point, waving at him.

"Journalists?"

After seeing the few people waving to him clearly, as well as the shooting equipment in their hands, Tang Nian subconsciously wanted to dodge and leave.

It has been a while since Director Zhang told Tang Nian the news of the Golden Horse Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and no matter how much there was talk on the Internet, Tang Nian never paid attention to it.

The people in the crew, especially those young extras who were familiar with Tang Nian, couldn't help but be skeptical in the past, no matter how Tang Nian explained, they were skeptical, but now as soon as the nomination for Best Supporting Actor came out, they quickly believed that this was just an explanation of the same name.

Let's ask, which quasi-well-known actor who shines in the No. 1 film in the history of Chinese film box office, when he is nominated for Best Supporting Actor, will go to the film and television city to get up early and be greedy for a web drama with a group of grassroots actors?

Faced with this huge cognitive contrast before and after, Tang Nian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Well, the crew is now working on the same mind, and the filming is very smooth, and he doesn't want to or want to destroy and interfere with the crew's filming because of many noise factors from the outside world.

"The First Chaos in History" is really a good work, it reflects the ...... of ordinary people in real society.

Well, that's not the point, filming this original drama is not broadcast on the education channel, the purpose of making this film is to hope that this original drama can be recognized by fans, and then recognized by the audience, and move forward from another angle!

That's right, go forward, Tang Nian continues to move forward!

"Hello, Tang Nian, I am a reporter from Tencent Entertainment, Wang Dashan, Mr. Bai has agreed to our interview with you, the main purpose is to prepare the warm-up activities for the original drama "The First Chaos in History" before its release!"

A chubby young man with a round face with glasses quickly told his story.

"Oh, come to think of it, Bai always said that before the release of "The First Chaos in History", an exclusive interview was just for the crew, similar to a certain day, a week before the original drama was launched, through omni-channel, through all channels, on literary websites such as Creation and Starting Point under China Literature, as well as Tencent Video and Tencent News video channels under Tencent, and other channels to warm up in advance, and then release some films one after another, and screen them in the form of members being the first to watch...... I would like to take the liberty of asking, can you please show me your work card? ”

Tang Nian said as he looked at Wang Dashan, saw that Wang Dashan kept nodding, and finally asked carefully.

"Don producers are really cautious......"

Wang Dashan handed the work card in front of him to Tang Nian, and said with a chuckle, but it revealed that he had already known about the crew of "The First Chaos in History", otherwise he would not know one of Tang Nian's identities, the producer.

"I'm sorry, but the filming of "The First Chaos in History" was kept secret and ...... Forget it, may I ask Reporter Wang, are there any specific requirements for this interview with the crew? ”

Tang Nian took a closer look at Wang Dashan's studio, and confirmed the QR code on it through his mobile phone, and then handed it back, saying apologetically.

"Before I came, I already had a certain understanding of our crew through Mr. Bai, but now, I have a good idea, that is, for the sentence you just proposed, the theme is called: A day in the life of a small crew!"

"Compared with other crews, the hype at the start of filming and the participation of many well-known actors, the crew of "The First Chaos in History" is a web series, the entire crew is ordinary people, the director is not famous, and the actors are all newcomers...... If you want to do a good job in this interview and warm up in advance for the launch of the online drama, you have to find the most curious side of the online audience and use it as a starting point. Originally, I thought that by interviewing the crew, I would complete the explanation, but now I have changed my mind and want to naturally record the crew's day by following the filming, I will ask questions outside the camera, and the people on camera will answer, and keep the whole process natural, without human interference or asking the interviewee to do anything......"

The more Wang Dashan talked, the more excited he became, he was tired of regular interviews or exclusive interviews, and thanks to Tang Nian's reminder, he got unexpected inspiration.

Since this is a task from above, if you want to complete it brilliantly, you can only find another way.

"Reporter Wang, are you saying that instead of conducting exclusive interviews, we will take the method of shooting documentaries to truly record the daily life of the crew throughout the day? Similar to the crew's shooting diary? Isn't it a little riskier? ”

Tang Nian just mentioned Mr. Bai, and said in a mess, in fact, he just wanted to test whether this wave of reporters was really arranged by Mr. Bai, and he didn't think much about it.

Moreover, "The First Chaos in History" is a complete newcomer and new drama, and Tang Nian can't refute the small crew's statement, will the audience watch the daily life of such a crew? There is not a well-known actor, can you fool clicks with the title alone?

Therefore, Wang Dashan was very excited, and his two assistants and a photographer all nodded again and again, but Tang Nian subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Don't worry, we are sure of the audience's curiosity, the shooting diaries of those big crews are carefully selected, the attraction of the audience is celebrities, and the attraction of the small crew to the audience lies in its truth!"

"What does the crew look like? How do actors act? How does the director direct the play? How do the behind-the-scenes crew work? Prop masters, makeup artists, costume artists, lighting artists, etc., how do they work in the crew? A crew, who has the final say? Director, producer, investment representative, that is the boss? What does it look like in a real shot on a monitor? Why would the director say that this person has acting skills? How different is the shot from the post-processed footage? What is the post-processing process like, and how is the background music and original voice acting done? What is the difference between an extras and a starring actor? How does the director tell the play? What kind of experience is it for an actor to be called a card continuously during the official filming? Why do you need so much money for filming? ”

"Producer Tang, all the things I mentioned above, maybe there will be some inadvertent mentions before the release of the movie with the participation of some well-known actors, but a complete process, from shooting to filming, is what the audience in this industry is most looking forward to!"

Wang Dashan finished his words in one breath, and when he finished speaking, you knew that he had already strengthened his thoughts through these words, the kind that did not waver.

"Uh...... Okay, but after you guys shoot it and process it, I hope to send me a copy in advance to take a look! ”

Tang Nian finally agreed to Wang Dashan's idea, but he still made a little request.

"Producer Tang, I also agree to your request, but I don't want you to destroy what I filmed, unless there is a reasonable request, we can only ask Mr. Bai to coordinate!"

"Okay! That...... How are you going to get started? Tang Nian hesitated for a moment, nodded and asked.

"Right now, you're not the producer of "The First Chaos in History", this is the beginning! You keep moving, we'll follow, and I'll ask you random questions......"

Without waiting for Tang Nian to nod, Wang Dashan beckoned the camera to open the lens, and the assistant on the side also carried the work box and followed skillfully behind.

"Uh...... I have finished exercising now, and in half an hour, the personnel will arrive one after another, and then according to the notice released in advance yesterday, arrange the staff to build the scene, adjust various camera positions, and the makeup artist and prop artist will start to be in place one after another? ”

"Don Producers, then...... Do you usually come to the crew so early? What preparations are you going to do when you come here in advance? ”

Following Tang Nian's rhythmic jogging movements, Wang Dashan put a radio pen in front of Tang Nian and asked.

"I ...... Come early because ...... One of the producers' jobs is to coordinate the equipment, props, and consumables used in the shooting, and not to miss the play because of the lack of props......"

……

"Hey, hey, hey...... Well,Let me tell you,Next month, our film will be launched on Tencent Video Original Channel,The work of publicity and warm-up will be carried out from now on,These are Tencent Entertainment reporters,They are the first activity of the publicity warm-up link,Adopt a follow-up mode,That is, everyone should be busy with whatever they should be busy,Don't care about this shot,This is reporter Wang,He will ask some questions at any time,Don't worry,Just answer according to your true thoughts,Understand? ”

"Got it!"

"Okay, then disband, the executive director will start arranging today's shooting, and the prop master, lighting engineer, and costume designer must remain on duty at any time and wait for the arrangement!"

Holding a loudspeaker, Tang Nian gathered all the crew members and introduced the identity and purpose of Wang Dashan and his party to them.

"Why do we need to make our identities public in advance? We filmed ourselves in the crew, isn't it also good? Wang Dashan's voiceover came.

"Reporter Wang, you have your job, I have mine, and this work is all coordinated with each other. If you don't make it public in advance, you will interview and ask questions later, and they won't even say a word to you, because we have signed a confidentiality agreement! ”

"Well, why sign a non-disclosure agreement? Isn't filming all advertised? ”

"Signing a confidentiality agreement does not mean that it will not be publicized, otherwise there will be no Wang Reporter You will come...... The signing of the confidentiality agreement just shows that we attach importance to our propaganda work and need to take it seriously, rather than allowing all kinds of untrue news to circulate on the Internet. Publicity is an important guarantee that a good film and television drama can achieve greater results, if there is no unified external publicity channel, each propaganda point is scattered on the Internet and spreads everywhere, not only has no effect, but will greatly reduce the publicity effect! ”

"Producer Tang, I heard that you are in the crew, not only the producer, but also the leading actor, how do you grasp the balance between these two identities? Will you be constrained by the producer's identity during the performance? ”

"Nope! The roles of the producer and the starring actor are both to make the work "The First Chaos in History" have better quality, and there is no conflict between the two. Not only that, for me personally, the identity of the producer is a latecomer, I am only engaged in the work of an actor, and now the identity of the producer will allow me to see every day's shooting from a higher angle and vision, as long as I can coordinate with the director, actors, and staff, it will play a greater role in the shooting schedule......"

……

In the process of asking and answering questions from both sides, Tang Nian had already come to the dressing room.

"Ah Tang, you're here!"

A gorgeously dressed man with a big figure and three thick figures, but he broke into the camera, and it was the makeup artist who was specially matched for Tang Nian in the crew of "Meng Jiangnu", Huang Niangzi!

"This is Huang Niangzi, a senior makeup artist, the current chief makeup artist of the crew, come, say hello to the camera! Reporter Wang, don't be afraid, he is a pure man, but he is used to talking in a feminine style......"

"Hi, hello Reporter Wang!"

After saying hello, Huang Niangzi pulled Tang Nian, sat down on the chair, and began to fiddle with Tang Nian's hair.

In the shot, Tang Nian's messy black hair, under the fiddling of the Yellow Lady, quickly became neat and regular, and Tang Nian turned into a fashion trendsetter who stood at the forefront of the times.

"Well, I'm going to make a cameo appearance this morning, playing a passerby...... It's not that the crew doesn't have enough actors, but the crew has a lot of money...... Reporter Wang, I suggest that you take advantage of this time to shoot the process of setting up the scene, always follow me, in fact, you can't shoot anything, because later I will have to negotiate with the author of the original novel, that is, the chief screenwriter and writer of "The First Chaos in History" Zhang Xiaohua, for today's scenes, on the line script and storyboard script......"

"Okay! However, I will make an appointment with Zhang Xiaohua in advance, and I hope that he will be interviewed by us as the author of the original book......"

Reporter Wang thought about it, and also felt that if he had been following Tang Nian, it would not be a documentary, but a personal interview, which would be meaningless, and the wonderful places of the small crew were all on the shooting site.

"No problem, about half an hour, when our discussion is over, we will all go to the scene!"

……

"Click!"

The bald Lao Wan frowned in front of the monitor, announcing that the filming of this shot was not passed, and a trace of anxiety suddenly appeared on the actor's face.

"Nian Shan, come here!"

Tang Nian hugged his arms, looked at Nian Shan's performance in the monitor, and shook his head.

With the participation of Zhang Xiaohua, more original characters have been added to the original drama "The First Chaos in History", for example, now, Nian Shan has played a newly added immortal who escaped from the fairy prison, and after being arrested by Liu Laoliu, he was temporarily placed in Xiao Qiang's house, his mind was full of strange thoughts, and he wanted to promote the concept of equality of all beings in the fairy world, which angered the Jade Emperor...... After arriving at Xiao Qiang's demolition building, everyone was tormented to the bitterness.

This storyline has been filmed almost, today is the last shot, parting, but Nianshan's state is very poor, this one has been NG four times.

"Brother Tang, I'm sorry, I don't know how, I know how to deal with emotions in my head, but even if I can't get into the state for a long time, the more anxious I am, the more I can't get into the ......"

"Nian Shan, you have to understand that there is never a small role, only a small actor! Don't lose money on how long a character has been around...... The performance is heartfelt and the role is brilliant, that is what we value most as actors! ”

"Brother Tang, I'm ......" Nian Shan's mouth opened, and he couldn't help but be a little depressed.

"Ten minutes, you calm down, after the mood is adjusted, you are shooting, I hope you pass one by one this time! We are all still young and have more opportunities, so why should we care so much about temporary gains and losses? ”

"Hoo ......"

Nian Shan took a deep breath, slowly spit it out, and said: "Brother Tang, I understand, it is my mentality of gaining and losing that affects the shooting, it doesn't take ten minutes, give me two minutes, I will prove it to you, no matter what kind of role, as long as I am willing, I can be brilliant!" ”

……

"Okay, it's over! In the next scene, filming starts in 20 minutes, and the scene is set up, and the gaffer remembers to dim the light...... The actor starts to touch up his makeup and change his costumes! ”

Soon, Nian Shan, who had adjusted his emotions, was really over, and the bald Lao Wan stared at the monitor several times, before announcing the pass, and then shook hands with Nian Shan, who had just been withdrawn and still had some gains and losses.

"Congratulations, you're done!"

Tang Nian was waiting on the side, waiting for Nian Shan to approach and patted him on the shoulder happily.

"Brother Tang, I'm ...... I...... My performance, okay, right? I just don't know...... After the launch, will the audience sell it......"

As an extra, the first time he starred in a four-episode scene, Nian Shan cared too much about the success or failure of this role, and when he officially finished filming and successfully ended this role, he was worried about the long-term future.

"Well, that's great! Nian Shan, your role is actually very outstanding...... This original drama should be regarded as an independent production by Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop and invested and produced by Tencent Pictures...... I say this, not to persuade you to sign an artist contract with the performing arts studio, but I hope you will wait and see for the time being, and after the release of this drama, you will have more opportunities to choose, this is my suggestion to you, I hope you can think about it carefully. Of course, the doors of Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop and Tencent Pictures are always open to you! ”

"Thank you, Brother Tang, I'll think it through!" Nian Shan hesitated for a moment, but finally listened to Tang Nian's persuasion.

……

"What's going on? It's about to start filming, why haven't the actors been in place yet? Do you know that this original drama will be launched next month? Xiao Fang, hurry up and contact the actors! ”

Suddenly, the voice of the bald Lao Wan sounded at the shooting site, and he looked a little angry.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to ask, doing my duty as a producer!"

Tang Nian ended the conversation with Reporter Wang, got up and rushed over, but Reporter Wang greeted the camera as if he had discovered a new continent.

"What's wrong?"

"I just received the news that the actor was thinking about how to start this scene all night because he NG 6 times in a row yesterday, and he was in a trance in the morning, and he broke his face by wrestling......"

"That's not good news...... The character setting of this scene is a historical figure from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, King Xu, I have tried three scenes with him, but he has been out of state at that time, so this is ...... Lao Wan, what are you going to do? ”

Tang Nian frowned and asked.

"Because of this character, the filming of "The First Chaos in History" has been delayed for three days, and under normal circumstances, this can already arrange about five episodes of plot material shooting...... Can't delay any longer! Or ......"

The bald old man raised his head, his eyes were brighter than the bald head, and he looked at Tang Nian.

"No way, how many roles have I already cameos? It's more than ten, right? If I continue filming like this, this drama is about to become a one-man show for me, which is not good! This is absolutely not a no-go! ”

As soon as he saw the bald old man's expression, Tang Nian knew what he had in mind, and shook his head again and again.

Because "The First Chaos in History" aims at the melodrama of the new era, with the demolition building as a fixed filming location, various historical and mythological characters appear one after another, and then leave under the guidance of Liu Laoliu. Except for a few fixed NPCs such as Xiao Qiang, Baozi, Liu Laoliu, etc., the other characters are all selected from the extras Some more spiritual actors are played, and then there are occasional exterior scenes, and then arranged from the extras. A main role, the short one has one episode, and the long one does not exceed five episodes, interspersed with the plot to the fullest, but not every young actor has Tang Nian's acting skills, what to play, so some young actors really can't play the role, so Tang Nian plays part-time roles.

It's strange to say that as long as Tang Nian plays, no matter how difficult the characters are, he can play them so that director Lao Wan and screenwriter Zhang Xiaohua shine and applaud.

If it weren't for Tang Nian's deliberate avoidance, he tried his best to give young actors a lecture, a play, and a tryout, and I couldn't wait for Tang Nian to play the main roles in this drama, except for the extras, and play against Xiao Qiang played by himself......

Although under Tang Nian's refusal, Lao Wan gave up this idea, but one after another, Tang Nian played as many as ten characters in the original drama "The First Chaos in History", in addition to Xiao Qiang, a fixed NPC.

Every time he thought of this, Tang Nian was very uneasy in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't know his acting skills, but such a sitcom that he is full of confidence in, aiming at "Wulin Gaiden", let him toss like this, and it's not good to mess it up.

"What are you worried about? As far as your acting skills are concerned, even if you are wearing exactly the same clothes, I can distinguish them at a glance by the completely different temperaments of the two characters, besides, there is no makeup artist, change the costume, change the hairstyle, and it's done! ”

Zhang Xiaohua and Tang Nian have been in contact for a long time, so they became familiar with it, and seeing that Tang Nian was still hesitating, he made a big move: "The first ten episodes of "The First Chaos in History" will be launched in one go, and another twenty episodes, one episode a day...... Progress ......"

"Okay, I'll act, can't you do it yet?"

Tang Nian finally compromised.

"Huang Niangzi, hurry up and change Ah Tang's clothes, and in ten minutes, the filming will officially start!"

……

Before I knew it, in the afternoon, the sky was gradually emitting a glow, and a sunset was forming.

"Thank you, writer Zhang Xiaohua, for accepting our interview! By the way, can you take the liberty of asking, my filming today is coming to an end, but why can't I see Producer Tang on the shooting set? ”

The communication between Tang Nian and the bald Lao Wan and Zhang Xiaohua just now did not let Wang Dashan know.

After all, this kind of temporary replacement is not very good to say.

Especially for a reporter like Wang Dashan who belongs to Tencent Entertainment, if Bai Yiji knows about this, he will definitely be worried that one person will play multiple roles and have rivalry with each other...... Even if Bai Yiji has no common sense, he knows that he is playing with fire.

Of course, according to Tang Nian's meaning, don't talk about it for the time being, and after the film is launched on the original channel, it's not too late to talk about it......

"Tang Nian...... Aha......"

Zhang Xiaohua had to play haha, unable to tell Wang Dashan that the one who was fully engaged in the performance on the monitor was Tang Nian.

"Brother Wang, look, Producer Tang is there!"

Suddenly, the camera pointed in a direction with a surprised expression, as if shocked by something.

"That's ...... Tang Year! One afternoon, he was filming and acting? Didn't he say that he didn't have a role? Why did he play all afternoon, and we were here chatting and drinking tea, and we were wearing that kind of prop costume, so we didn't recognize him at all? ”

Wang Dashan looked in the direction and found that the actor who had finished filming, after taking off his hood, was Tang Nian, who had been missing for an afternoon!

"Ah Tang...... Hehe, probably...... It's acting......" Zhang Xiaohua said softly, began to retreat, and quietly slipped away in a trance where Wang Dashan and the others were still in shock......
