Chapter 004: Joining the crew for the first time

At seven o'clock in the morning, the van stopped on the street near Qin Han City, and Tang Nian sat there quietly, listening to Lao Liu's phone call. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yesterday afternoon, Tang Nian was an eye-opener under the guidance of several other senior group performers, perhaps because he spent an afternoon wantonly swaying his emotions under the guidance of his predecessors, and his energy was consumed, and he didn't have nightmares at night, and slept until dawn.

"Meng Jiangnu" is filmed in a completely closed environment, and no onlookers are allowed.

Because of this, coupled with Director Zhang's fame, the reporters are also very interesting, and they did not choose to come over at this time to bother.

Lao Liu's level was too low, so he naturally couldn't drive the van in, so he had to park here and contact Director Cheng by phone.

Not long after, a staff member with the work card of the crew of "Meng Jiangnu" walked out.

"You are Tang Nian? Come with me! ”

The staff didn't mean to know Lao Liu, and with a swing of their heads, they turned around and returned, and Tang Nian only had time to glance at Lao Liu, so he hurriedly followed.

……

The entire Qin and Han City covers a large area, Tang Nian followed behind the staff, crossed three small palaces, and then came to the logistics area of the crew, and then walked inside for a long time, the staff pushed open the door, and a collective dressing room came into view.

"What role? What are the requirements for makeup? ”

Those who can come to the collective dressing room are not famous, and the makeup artist will naturally not be polite and ask the staff directly.

"Like...... It's supposed to be playing a beggar, right? Right...... Right? ”

The staff just listened to the greeting of Deputy Director Cheng, and didn't pay attention to what role the person who came over wanted to play, but yesterday Tang Nian was personally selected by Director Zhang to play the rumor of a beggar, they all knew it, and at this moment they had to ask Tang Nian with their eyes.

"Uh...... Well! ”

Tang Nian himself was also a little confused, he didn't know whether Assistant Director Cheng had explained to the staff, and he hadn't seen the script until now, eighty percent of them were wearing makeup and ancient clothes, and they listened to the command directly when they arrived at the scene.

Perhaps, this kind of role is actually not necessary for a script at all......

"When is it playing?"

There are also many small characters like Tang Nian in the dressing room, who are sitting there being fiddled by other makeup artists, and there are more than a dozen people sitting in the dressing room, but there are only four makeup artists, and it looks very busy.

"This ......"

The staff was completely dumbfounded when they heard this.

"Forget it, I'll finish putting on his makeup later, and you can take him directly to the clothing room!"

This makeup artist, who is similar to the person in charge of the dressing room, has smoky makeup on his face, and when he looks at the blank expressions of the staff, he understands more in his heart that the guy he brought in front of him is most likely to be a day trip for the crew, and he is not even a trick.

"Good...... Tang Dynasty...... Tang Year! That's the name, right? I still have something to do, after you finish your makeup, go out and turn left, the innermost big room is the clothing room, after you arrive, there will naturally be staff to change your clothes...... Let's go first! ”

This staff member was just a temporary errand assignment, so he naturally refused to stay here longer, and without saying a word to Tang Nian, he went out of the dressing room directly.

"Tang Nian? I think I've heard of it...... By the way, you're the lucky boy who went lucky! I heard that your acting skills are very good...... Also, under such a difficult audition, you can be selected by Director Zhang, which is naturally good! ”

The smoky makeup artist, originally thinking of taking a few color boxes, came over and applied some powder casually, but when he heard Tang Nian's name, he had to prepare a few more color boxes, and motioned for Tang Nian to sit down, but his tone was a lot more enthusiastic.

"Beggar, this makeup is not easy to draw, fortunately you have a thin face, wipe more ......"

It is rare to have a rumored actor in the dressing room, and the smoky makeup naturally wants to do his best to show his housekeeping skills, in case he is selected and becomes a full-time makeup artist, the tide will naturally rise.

It is said that this kid has taken shit luck, but if he can be selected by Director Zhang, he must have a smooth star journey in the future......

"I ...... I ......"

Just when the smoky makeup was in full swing, Tang Nian couldn't help it, because this beggar makeup and his weird dreams were getting more and more deviated.

Especially after this face is covered with powder, it is not the same thing as the real state of those beggars who begged in ancient scenes for a long time with yellow muscles and dull eyes, but he didn't know what smoky makeup was called, and he didn't know what to say when he wanted to open his mouth several times.

"My surname is Huang, you can call me Ah Huang......"

The smoky makeup has been in this circle for many years, and he has naturally developed a superb ability to observe words and colors.

"Ah...... No, Brother Huang, I can call you that, right? ”

Tang Nian glanced at the smoky makeup, and applied rouge perfume, but there was an Adam's apple in his throat, which should be ...... Presumably...... Eighty percent, it's a man, right?

"If you have anything, just say it!" Smoky makeup.

"Brother Huang, I'...... I can...... There are a dozen or so people in this room, and I've got this wig ready, or ...... The makeup on this face, I'll do it myself, you see that the three sisters are almost too busy! ”

Tang Nian hesitated for a moment and changed his words.

After Zhang Lan and Li Xiang's surprise make-up class yesterday, he has long been very familiar with the color box used for makeup, and since he has the makeup he wants, it is better to do it himself.

"Whew! Lao Tzu is a pure man, why did you call your sister? ”

"Yes, it's really a woman!"

"What kind of eyes are you......"

"Hahaha......"

After the other three makeup artists complained, the smoky makeup couldn't help laughing, and then pushed the color box in front of Tang Nian, but he didn't get angry, and said with a smile: "Can you use it?" ”

"What, not sister......"

Compared to smoky makeup, the other three were dressed more femininely, the bodies that writhed back and forth between more than a dozen people, and the habitual orchid fingers...... If it's not a woman, forget it, it's still a pure man? Tang Nian's eyes widened suddenly.

"Will it work?"

Seeing Tang Nian's stunned appearance, the smile on his face became thicker.

"Uh...... Yes! Yes! I learned! ”

Tang Nian nodded hurriedly.

"That's okay, you wipe the powder yourself, and if you don't wipe it well, remember to speak. Otherwise, when you arrive at the shooting site, Director Zhang is not satisfied with your makeup and directly replaces, then you will be miserable! ”

After a few quick explanations, Smoky Makeup joined the other three makeup artists and applied makeup to more than a dozen people together.

Tang Nian glanced at it, and knew that these more than ten soldiers should be used on the field later, followed around behind a certain actor, and the camera passed in a flash, a typical lowest-level extra, the kind with a human flesh background.

You know, there are several categories of extras.

In Lao Chen's narration yesterday, Tang Nian knew that extras were roughly divided into three categories, the first was the lowest-level human flesh background actor just mentioned.

This category is the most common and the most overlooked.

As long as you observe carefully, this kind of group performance is the most common in historical dramas, costume dramas, and war dramas, and Director Zhang is the best at wide shots, and under the large elevation angle of 100,000 people attacking the city, they are all counted as this category, and there is no separate shot.

The second category is those who have a few lines, such as the city gate guards, and in one or two sentences, they flash over, show their faces, and have lines.

The third category is to interact with the main actor with a few lines, such as a subordinate of the young master's family played by an actor, or a scout in a war scene, after two sentences, he becomes a street pedestrian or soldier B after changing his clothes. If you're lucky, you can appear many times, and you can leave a ten-minute shot in the TV series; Bad luck, after tossing for a long time, as soon as the TV station was turned on, I stared wide-eyed, but found that it was cut......

In the group performance, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can get mixed into the second category, but when it comes to the third category, it depends on individual talent.

And the other eight shareholders in the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop, except for Lao Liu, all belong to the third category, and it can even be said that they belong to the kind of level that is out of the group performance and runs a trick in the camera, and it is not a problem to be lucky enough to play a role in a few minutes of the camera.

At the beginning, Tang Nian thought that extras were tricks, but Lao Wan shook his head with a serious expression.

After listening to Lao Wan's explanation, Tang Nian had an in-depth understanding of the profession of actor.

The actor is the most important language in the camera and the core component of the plot, which can be divided into three categories: starring, starring, and participating.

The leading actor is divided into the leading actor, the leading actor, and the guest starring, which belongs to the kind of actor who appears in the opening credits and the end credits at the top.

starring,It's divided into friendship cameos、Special guest star、Starring in this episode, etc.,It belongs to the kind of place that doesn't appear in the opening subtitles.,And in the end subtitles in the second column below the starring role.,If you're not familiar with the actor who starred.,It's quickly forgotten.。

Participating in the show is actually a trick. For example, in a scene, you play a steamed bun seller, the steamed bun shop is smashed, you sit there crying, and then bring out the actor and the main actor to move the plot forward. Another example is that you play as an evil boy who does evil in the streets and is shot with a sword...... and so on, all of which can be counted as participating in the show. This kind of actor belongs to that kind of little monster, which can be ranked in the third column of the cast list in the closing credits, and the big bunch of names that flash quickly belongs to this pile.

The biggest difference between starring and starring and participating in is that they have a script and have to sign a shooting agreement, but the actor and the participant do not have a script. The difference between the actor and the participant is that the actor is either a well-known actor who has a good relationship with the crew and comes to make a cameo, or has a good relationship with the director and comes to support him. If you put it in a TV series, you can have a scene of three or five episodes, and if you put it in a movie, eight or nine minutes of footage are guaranteed. The actors, on the other hand, are not so particular, they are all people who are stuffed in all aspects, some investors want to have a good time in the play, there are assistant actors who run the scene temporarily, and there are also those who give gifts and stuff money, begging the assistant director to help, and this is also the easiest area for money rules.

The extras mentioned above are nothing, there will be no explanation on the film at all, only the performers will pay attention.

Whether there is a shot left or not is a matter of luck.

Of course, if you have excellent acting skills and the role happens to be in the key plot, then you will naturally show your face.

"Huang ...... Brother Huang! ”

After sitting there for a long time, Tang Nian glanced at the makeup in the camera, and finally breathed a sigh of satisfaction, and the beggar makeup in the ancient scene in the strange dream was already inseparable, but the light in his eyes was a loophole.

"Who are you? How to break ...... Oh, Tang Nian! ”

When Smoke Makeup heard the voice, he looked up and jumped.

Tang Nian in front of him, it was only half an hour, and his whole face had changed, his face was at least ten years old, if it wasn't for his opening, coupled with the modern clothes on his body, he almost thought that a beggar had broken in.

"Good, good! This makeup is good! Here, I'll take a picture! ”

'Click'

The occupational disease of smoky makeup was criminal, and seeing that Tang Nian's makeup was in place, he hurriedly took a group photo with Tang Nian, and after the shooting, he was still there to take a closer look.

"Brother Huang, I'm going to the clothing room......"

Seeing that the smoky makeup ignored him, Tang Nian said a word and prepared to get up and leave.

"No, go out along this door, keep going forward, don't turn around, the innermost one is!"

The smoky makeup reacted, pushed Tang Nian out of the door, pointed forward, and saw Tang Nian leaving, and then turned around and entered the dressing room, but the smoky makeup at the moment suddenly felt so tired, and it was too difficult to be an ordinary makeup artist.

……

"Bang bang bang!"

Tang Nian did not delay, and soon came to the place where the smoky makeup was pointing, but there was no sign on the door, he hesitated, and knocked on the door.

"Who? Where did you come from......"

Someone opened the door and saw Tang Nian's face, and he was about to get angry, when he suddenly saw Tang Nian's clothes, he came to his senses and quickly stopped.

"You're here to change your costume, aren't you? What role do you play? To be able to participate in Director Zhang's costume production, where does it matter? Does anyone tell you what type of clothing to wear......"

It was a fat man who pushed the door open, but he was even more talkative, and after welcoming Tang Nian in, his mouth did not stop.

"My name is Tang Nian, and I should play a beggar, you give me a set of beggar makeup ......"

Tang Nian couldn't help but interrupt.

"Tang Nian? Tang Year! ”

The fat man suddenly stopped, turned around, his eyes widened, looked at Tang Nian, and said enviously: "You are that Tang Nian?" The Tang Nian who was favored by Director Zhang? You're really lucky! ”

After knowing Tang Nian's name, the fat man sighed for a long time, and then he put his palm on his forehead and remembered what he was doing.

"No, it's all beggars here, there are newcomers to the beggar gang, there are old people who are beggars, and there are also high-level beggars......"

"Can I pick my own?"

Tang Nian couldn't hold back any longer, and interrupted the fat man's words again.

"Uh...... Good! After you pick it yourself, walk along this hanger, push open the small door, and you will go directly to the shooting site! ”

Seeing Tang Nian's anxious expression, the fat man pursed his lips and shook his head with some regret, but Tang Nian was already impatient to start choosing clothes, so he had to shake his head and leave.

"What's the right outfit?"

Looking at a large number of ancient beggar clothes, Tang Nian was a little worried, and after choosing for a while, he was almost confused by Zhang Lan's dressing rules.

"I remember that a strange dream last week was somewhat similar to the scene in the Three Kingdoms TV series on TV, where the beggar was dressed as ...... Yes, that's what it looks like! ”

Tang Nian's eyes wandered around the hanger, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and his eyes locked on a piece of clothing.

Soon, Tang Nian changed his clothes.

"Huh? Why am I so familiar with wearing this outfit? Could it be that I have worn it before? No, it should be the strange familiarity that those strange dreams bring me...... But that's fine, and I don't need to be instructed by others to wear ancient costumes......"

Tang Nian comforted himself in a mess and temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

You know, ancient costumes are not so easy to wear, the more ancient it is, the more detailed its clothing classification, the more exquisite it is to wear, and ordinary people will not wear it at all without the guidance of professional costumers.

"Begging at the gates ......"

Standing in front of the mirror, Tang Nian silently recalled the picture of begging at the city gate in an ancient scene in the strange dream, combined with the body micro-movements and facial micro-expressions pointed out by Song Linyong and Lao Zhao, looking at himself in the mirror, Tang Nian instantly had a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu that ancient people had traveled to modern times, and he once again tasted his body movements and facial expressions, and found that his facial muscles in the mirror were still in place, and he was finally relieved.

Then, according to the fat man's instructions, Tang Nian walked straight to the small door and went to the shooting site.

Tang Nian opened his eyes to this first-time encounter in the logistics area of the crew, but the most important thing for him at present is to find Assistant Director Cheng as soon as possible and ask him what his arrangements are today......

was also too nervous, and forgot to ask Lao Liu for the phone number of Deputy Director Cheng.

"Smack!"

At the moment when Tang Nian pushed open the small door, Tang Nian suddenly heard a violent sound of falling things, as if a cup had been dropped to the ground.

"Let him go! My Zhang's crew can't afford to serve this kind of uncle! Even if you roll the play, you dare to pick your nose and eyes...... Isn't it just a matter of spending a few years in South Korea, what else will you do besides the short-lived popularity that bounce brings? It's garbage! Is there a CD waiting for you in the crew? An artist doesn't have the basic professional qualities, I'll put the words here, you've only been popular for three years! By the way, Lao Cheng, didn't I interview an actor named Tang Nian yesterday? Have you arrived? ”

Suddenly, Director Zhang's tantrum made Tang Nian a little afraid, and he couldn't help but stop there, not daring to open the door.

Director Zhang...... This Xiao Yitao is designated by the investor, and he doesn't have many scenes, so he can barely be regarded as a starring actor...... I'll talk to him and ask him to apologize, there's no need for us to have a conflict with the investor......"

Immediately afterwards, Deputy Director Cheng's voice came, the voice was not loud, but it could reach Tang Nian's ears, and he could wear it to the popular little fresh meat who had been sitting in the RV and not facing Director Zhang directly, Xiao Yitao.

Tang Nian saw the situation at the shooting scene clearly through the crack in the door.

Because Director Zhang was losing his temper, everyone at the entire shooting site was afraid to gasp, for fear of angering Director Zhang, and Xiao Yitao, who returned from South Korea who angered Director Zhang, was sitting in the RV and never directly faced Director Zhang's anger.

"No need! Investors, let them come to me directly! He is not the only one who wants to invest in this play! Hurry up and call that Tang Nian, don't delay my filming! ”

After listening to Deputy Director Cheng's words, Director Zhang suddenly lost his sense of anger and waved his hand, indicating that he had made up his mind.

'Buzz! ’

The RV, after hearing Director Zhang's words, started directly, drove out of the shooting scene, and left directly.

"Hey...... Xiao Zhang, didn't you say that the Year of Tang has arrived? Why hasn't it appeared yet, where has it gone? β€œ

After Director Du sighed, he couldn't vent the anger in his heart, so he had to lose his temper at the staff who had just brought Tang Nian in.

"He's already here, I just took him to the dressing room and asked him to ......," the staff said a little aggrieved.

"Director Cheng, I've arrived!"

With a shout in his mouth, Tang Nian didn't care much, so he quickly pushed open the small door and rushed to the shooting site.

Director Zhang turned around and saw Tang Nian, and was immediately furious.

"Lao Cheng, where did this beggar come from, how did he get to the filming site of the crew? How did you arrange it? How...... Beggar? Beggar! You are Tang Nian! ”

Suddenly, Director Zhang came to his senses and looked carefully at Tang Nian's outfit, his eyes were bright, and his expression was full of praise.
