Chapter 005: The Ninth Protagonist
What does it feel like when all eyes are on you?
Others Tang Nian didn't know, but at this moment he only had one sentence in his heart: the pressure is so great!
In the past, when he was an outsider, he watched some small crews filming and watched it with relish, but he became the focus of his own life, and while the pressure doubled, there was a faint sense of excitement in his heart......
"Who is wearing this makeup of yours? And how you wear this ancient costume, who got it for you? ”
Without waiting for Director Zhang to speak, there was an old man with black-framed glasses, his silver hair was meticulously combed, and he asked with a serious expression. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"This is the historical advisor of our crew, Professor Lee of Kyung Dae, who is responsible for controlling the makeup and costumes of all the actors!"
I don't know when, Assistant Director Cheng has already walked to Tang Nian's side and said in a low voice.
Professor Lee...... This is...... It's my own makeup, and the costume is found in the costume room, and I wear it myself......"
After thinking about it, Tang Nian still told the truth.
"Not bad! Except for talking, every move has no modern sense, like ...... It's like...... Through! Yes, that's the word! It's like an ancient person in the Qin and Han dynasties, who traveled to modern times! ”
Professor Li listened to Tang Nian's words, and his expression was a little incredulous, but he recalled that the makeup artists and costume artists of the crew, no matter how he communicated, they couldn't understand the appearance and charm of the costumes in the Qin and Han dynasties.
But Tang Nian, who was standing in front of him, suddenly showed the charm of the Qin and Han dynasties in his mind.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he rushed in front of Director Zhang and couldn't wait to ask.
"Director Zhang, you still have vision!"
Professor Li stared at Tang Nian, savored it carefully, and then gave a thumbs up to Director Zhang.
The person was found by Director Zhang himself, and the costume style can win his heart, and Professor Li naturally praises Director Zhang's vision.
"Oh? It's rare to hear Professor Li's praise, I, Zhang, am very happy! ”
After listening to Professor Li's words, Director Zhang, who originally had a gloomy face, rarely smiled.
As a well-known expert on the Qin and Han dynasties at Kyung University, Professor Li has been present in more than eighty percent of the Qin and Han Dynasty tomb archaeology in China. If it weren't for Director Zhang's personal invitation and sincerity, Professor Li would definitely not have joined.
"Meng Jiangnu" is a script that Director Zhang has painstakingly worked out in the past two years, including national hatred and family hatred, children's affection, and bloody courage, it can be said that this drama is Director Zhang's most important play in the past five years.
If it weren't for the pressure test by the investor, he would never agree to use a small fresh meat with only skin.
In a word, his play is going straight to the three major international film festivals, and he is confident that this drama will definitely sweep the domestic box office market and make his reputation go to a higher level.
But "Meng Jiangnu", which had been started for half a month, was delayed because of the Korean debut that was stuffed in, and the little fresh meat that was popular in China, what is Xiao Yitao's name, and NG didn't say it at every turn, and there was also a phenomenon of rolling dramas, and the lines in other plays were said here. Not only that, this Xiao Yitao also changed his lines indiscriminately, which made Professor Li very dissatisfied, and played a big name from time to time, so that the whole crew waited for him, and he didn't listen to the play, so he had to shoot according to his own ideas......
As a result, Director Zhang became angry, and because of this, Director Zhang had the idea of temporarily changing actors.
After Xiao Yitao heard this rumor, he deliberately came to Xingshi today to ask for the guilt, and used the investor to exert pressure, and finally the two sides completely collapsed.
So, there was the scene that Tang Nian had just seen.
"Huh? Where did the beggars come from, and dared to break into the city? ”
Suddenly, Professor Li became interested, put his hands behind his back, pretended to be serious, and recited his lines seriously, turning into a soldier guarding the city gate.
'Poof! ’
Just before everyone could react, Tang Nian subconsciously knelt on the ground, his still somewhat timid face instantly turned pale, looked at Professor Li, and pleaded bitterly: "This lord, it's good, I haven't eaten for three days, I can't find anything to eat, I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death here!" ”
"Go, go, go! Stay away from the city gate, and if you dare to get into the city gate, I'll let you die here now!" After watching Tang Nian's performance, Professor Li was shocked, and blurted out the next sentence.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! ”
Tang Nian's pale face instantly turned a little bloody, he kowtowed a few times on the ground, and then hurriedly left, his eyes locked not far away, as if it was the roadside outside the city gate, and ran there desperately......
"Good!"
Director Zhang shouted and applauded, and even all the staff at the shooting site applauded.
The leading actors who came to the front at some point also recovered from the shock just now and applauded without hesitation.
For them, the crew is the biggest at the shooting scene, the director is the biggest, and the actors are naturally the most acting skills, and as an actor, the most convincing thing is acting.
And the young man who looked very immature that came out of nowhere in front of him was a very immature young man, but he had excellent acting skills, which was naturally more pleasing to the eye than Xiao Yitao, who often played a big name.
"Huh?"
It was only at this time that Tang Nian reacted, he stopped, rubbed his knees, and the pain he had just realized instantly made him grin his teeth.
"Hehe, it hurts now? This cement floor is not an official road paved with loess...... Young man, you've worked hard, not bad! Your name is Tang Nian, right? I remember you! ”
Because of the direct play with Tang Nian, Professor Li naturally knows best. is just a short line, this young man can enter the play instantly, and it is a subconscious reaction, and the whole person is substituted into that scene, which has this impactful shocking performance in front of him. This kid was born to eat this actor's meal, and he is very optimistic.
"Lao Cheng, it's him! Sign up now! That Xiao Yitao, you arrange someone, immediately publish an announcement on the Internet, and publicly announce the termination of the contract! ”
Director Zhang, as a director, was more satisfied with Tang Nian's performance and made a decision without hesitation.
"Director Zhang, this ...... I'm afraid ......."
Deputy Director Cheng is a capable man who has been following Director Zhang, so he naturally thinks further, he is not afraid of terminating the contract, what he is afraid of is that people rely on a lot of fans, talk nonsense on the Internet, reverse black and white, those crazy fans who don't have brains, when the time comes, come to the crew to make trouble, it will be really troublesome.
"What are you afraid of? Isn't the NG tape filmed in the past two days all there, if he dares to talk nonsense, I will immediately make him ruined, and he can't get along in this circle, go back to South Korea! ”
Director Zhang waved his hand and continued: "By the way, you also pass a copy of the tape to the investor and let them deal with it!" I only have one sentence, as long as that Xiao Yitao is silent, I won't speak, but if there is a scene with him in the future, don't ask me to film! In the same way, he is not welcome in my play! This matter, this is the end, they are all mixed in this circle, everyone keep their mouths strict, don't make trouble for yourself......"
Looking around the shooting site for a week, Director Zhang ended his words meaningfully.
"Call it a day this morning! Lao Cheng, after you take Tang Nian to sign the contract later, give him the script, he only has one morning, I will talk to him at noon, and the filming will start in the afternoon, which delays the progress for a few days, and it is time to catch up! ”
After explaining the matter, Director Zhang waved his hand, ended the morning's work, and left the scene accompanied by his assistant.
The fire just now also made Director Zhang's mood fluctuate a little, he needs to adjust temporarily, and at the same time minimize the negative impact, rest for a morning, and in the afternoon everyone's state will quickly get rid of the conflict in the morning.
"No, this is the script!"
Subsequently, under the leadership of the staff, Tang Nian came to an office, where a staff member with a legal work card was sitting, and with a serious expression, he took the script, confidentiality agreement and signing agreement to Tang Nian.
"Read the contract first, sign it if you think it's okay, and then sign the confidentiality agreement, and then you can read the script!"
The legal staff immediately stopped Tang Nian's move to read the script.
"Oh, sorry, I'm a little excited......"
It was not until this time that the excitement in Tang Nian's heart eased a little.
Happiness came too suddenly, which was completely different from what Lao Wan explained to him when he was in the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop yesterday.
originally thought that it was a level of participation in the show, and he would run a trick on the crew, but who knew that in a blink of an eye, he would be able to get the starring role in the script? This was too great an impact on his heart.
couldn't help it, Tang Nian would go over the script a little out of shape.
Yesterday afternoon, Lao Liu and he made it very clear to themselves that only the leading actor has a script, the leading actor has a full script, and the actor is the director who speaks on the spot and organizes lines; The actors have no lines, only a general scene dialogue introduction, and it all depends on the play.
The real script, Lao Liu and they collected some of them, and specially let Tang Nian take a look.
The leading actor has the whole script, a thick box, and he prepares half a year in advance, and he may not be able to tell the lines well; The leading actor gets a sub-script, or the starring actor's personal script, when he is on the stage, he plays with the other party in advance, or simply does not play the scene, and the camera is directly scolded, it all depends on the individual's understanding of the role and personal talent and acting strength, and the worst script of the starring actor must be dozens of A4 papers, generally around 200 sheets, story synopsis, character development plot line, detailed storyboard script......
TV series can have seven or eight leading actors, plus three or four leading actors, because there are many episodes, and thirty episodes of dramas are filmed as group scenes, as long as the editing is of a high level, it does not look abrupt.
But if you put it in the movie, it's very inappropriate.
According to Lao Liu's understanding, there are at most eight leading actors in the movie, and these eight leading actors also include as many as three or four leading actors, no matter how hard they work in the later stage, the plot of the movie will be directly erased.
A big screen can accommodate up to three actors to play roles to interact, and the camera has to be cut back and forth, and there are many leading actors, and the camera is cut back and forth, which is quite messy. Whether it is a director, an actor or an investor, making movies is for fame and fortune, if the effect cannot be achieved, everyone is naturally reluctant to do it, as an actor, it is natural to compete in front of the camera, there is a lens to have a scene, there is a scene to have an appearance rate, there is an appearance rate to have an appearance rate, there is an appearance rate to have an influence, and there is an influential market......
"How's it going?"
Just when Tang Nian was thinking wildly, the legal staff spoke up.
"Oh? Oh! I've already finished reading it......" Tang Nian said subconsciously.
"You'd better pay attention to the salary, this part will determine whether you can join the crew smoothly next!" The legal staff actually noticed Tang Nian's trance, frowned, and reminded.
He is a fixed legal staff member who follows Director Zhang, and several crews have come down, and he has encountered many such examples, some newcomers, because of Director Zhang's name, did not hesitate to sign a contract for filming, but only later did he feel that he had lost ...... But they don't want to think about it, they are just a newcomer, with the big opportunity of Director Zhang's promotion, they still think that the money is less, it is really a purchase and a pearl, and they can't tell the difference. I hope that the young man in front of him is not a fool.
"One hundred thousand?"
Tang Nian's heart skipped a beat, suppressing the joy in his heart.
I think that a month ago, he was on the construction site, and after a year of hard work, it was only 50,000 yuan, which was a whole year of busy work.
Who would have thought that filming would make so much money, just a movie, and it would be able to give 100,000 to newcomers...... Oh no, this is a play introduced by Lao Liu, so you have to take 40% of the 100,000 yuan, and give one of the ingredients to Lao Liu, so you only have 60,000 left......
"This is a comprehensive measurement of the crew, and the salary you will be given will be counted as labor expenses, after all, ......"
The meaning of the legal staff is obvious, Tang Nian is just a newcomer who has no fame at all, and the crew has already taken a big risk.
"Hehe, one day, I can get the performance fee rightfully!"
Without hesitation, Tang Nian picked up the signature pen and signed his name on the contract and the confidentiality agreement at the same time.
"Okay, when the scene is finished, the crew will settle the labor for you...... Performances are costly. Tang Nian, well, let's count this as a suggestion for you, young people, opportunities are far more important than remuneration, money is a small profit, opportunity is the long-term way, in this entertainment industry, there are not many people who can always maintain this clarity, I hope ...... I hope that in the future entertainment industry, you can leave your name! By the way, I'm reminding you that the script must be protected, not leaked, and not lost, otherwise you will see me in court! The legal staff put away the contract and the confidentiality agreement, and at the same time gave Tang Nian a copy, and then sorted the script into a box, signaling that Tang Nian could leave.
Holding the script, Tang Nian nodded politely and exited the office.
After briefly asking the staff, Tang Nian came to a conference room with a box full of scripts, ready to take advantage of this time to study the script, so as to deal with Director Zhang's speech at noon.
Because he ended work early, there was no one else in the conference room, Tang Nian took out the script and read it carefully.
"Meng Jiangnu" is a typical ancient war drama, telling the story of Meng Jiangnu on the wedding night, her husband was captured by the Qin soldiers to do hard labor on the Great Wall, her mother-in-law became depressed, and the very filial Meng Jiangnu left for the border after entrusting her mother-in-law to the care of a neighbor, intending to find her husband and ask her husband to go home to visit her mother-in-law. On the way, Meng Jiangnu encountered human traffickers and was taken to the border, when crossing the Great Wall, Meng Jiangnu escaped by mistake, and brought the important military information of Diyi Yaokou Pass to the generals stationed on the Great Wall, and the generals arranged a meeting between Meng Jiangnu and her husband, but the war broke out at this time, and all the slaves who built the Great Wall were trapped here and could not escape. In the end, the general repelled Di Yi, but Meng Jiangnu's husband died because of this, and Meng Jiangnu chose martyrdom under grief. The incident finally alarmed Qin Shi Huang, so he arranged for the general to visit Meng Jiangnu's mother-in-law's village, and after arriving, he heard from neighbors that Meng Jiangnu's mother-in-law had died half a month earlier......

The little beggar was originally a fugitive, but was caught in the process of fleeing, became a slave to build the Great Wall, and had a rivalry with Meng Jiangnu's husband......
"One, two, three, four...... Nine! ”
Tang Nian's brows furrowed: "So, I became the ninth protagonist?" But what does this beggar have to do with the main plot line? ”
Tang Nian, who was puzzled in his heart, opened the text of the script and looked at it, his brows were sometimes stretched and sometimes wrinkled, as if he was ...... This little beggar, isn't it so easy to act?
"It's only nine scenes, but it runs through the entire script! Why does this character seem so abrupt in the entire main plot line? ”
After reading the entire script in one go, the doubts in Tang Nian's eyes became even stronger, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and once again buried himself in the script, and the entire conference room was quiet, only hearing the sound of turning the pages of the script......
