Location, Qinhancheng area of Hengdu Film and Television City, the filming site of the annual Chinese New Year costume drama blockbuster "Meng Jiangnu".

Notice: "Meng Jiangnu" Scene 42 Scene 1~4 (Outdoor Scene), Cast List: Tang Nian (as Zhang An), Yun Moumou (as the city lord...... Shooting location: A6 city gate of Qinhan City, scene construction time: 7:10~8:10, shooting time: 8:30~11:30

Synopsis: Zhang An fled all the way to beg, came to a small city near the frontier, found his own arrest documents at the city gate, and simply begged outside the small city gate; During this time, he fought for territory with beggars in other small towns and was almost disfigured......

At 8:10 a.m., Tang Nian, who had already put on his makeup, stood quietly at the scene of the city gate that had just been built, silently memorizing his lines.

This is the scene with the largest number of lines in the Tang Year for half a month, and it is also the fourth scene exclusive to the Tang Year, and the remaining five scenes are all group scenes, the leading actors will be on the stage, the scene is very large, and various camera positions are scheduled......

It's far away, I still remember the first scene of the Tang Dynasty, he involuntarily changed his lines in the process of the play, although no one said anything at the time, but he was worried for a while.

Maybe the so-called studio Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop established by Lao Liu and them is not worth mentioning compared to the studio of the big stars of this crew, but in just a few days, Tang Nian has indeed learned a lot from several other people and benefited a lot.

Judging from the lines alone, Lao Liu's words touched Tang Nian's heart very much.

"Xiao Tang, don't look at the character's lines are very inconspicuous, this is very important for an actor to play a good character!"

"When you see those characters on TV or in movies, many times their voices, mouth shapes, and even facial expressions are very different, and that's because their lines are very poor, and they have to be dubbed later, which makes them awkward...... But this can't be blamed on the dubbing and the later stage of the crew, because in the process of playing the role, if the actor can't even speak all the lines, then no matter how great the dubbing ability in the later stage is, there is nothing he can do. You have been to the scene and filmed, you should know that it is very difficult, if not ......impossible, to synchronize the recording of live filming."

"What is acting? Acting skills are a combination of lines, body movements, facial expressions, and eyes, people often say that acting skills are good, but most of them ignore the character lines, which is really sad! ”

"When the actor is engrossed in the lines, or pronunciation, he will naturally mobilize his facial micro-expressions, eyes and even body movements, which is the root of connecting a screen character and the foundation part of an actor's acting skills......"

"Saying the lines well is the basic respect for the play, and it is also the greatest respect for the character, and it is an important accumulation of personal growth!"

"If you can't even speak your lines well, you're missing the most important thing for an actor! Those so-called big names who like to change the lines of the script on the spot, and completely ignore the actors and even the director, often ruin too many scenes......"

"You don't care whether the lines are reasonably designed or not, that's the screenwriter's consideration, the most important thing for you is to skillfully embed the character lines given by the screenwriter into the play, so that the role you play is more three-dimensional and fuller!"

"When speaking lines, the right tone, appropriate facial expressions, body movements, including eye coordination, are the basic skills of actors!"

"Now that you've got a good opportunity, you must do your best!"

"There are no inappropriate lines, only actors with poor abilities!"

……

"Let's go, it's time to start filming, Director Cheng is already in place! The lines are about the same, right? Fight to keep your title of Don Ichichi! ”

The assistant of the pox-faced king looked at the time, and then looked at the scene construction of the scene, reminding Tang Niandao.

"I'll take a look at it again, Xiao Tang's makeup~~~"

Huang Niangzi washed off the smoky makeup on her face, cleaned herself up, except for talking and walking, she could no longer see the ingredients of her mother, and when she saw Assistant Wang's reminder to start shooting, she quickly took a closer look at Tang Nian.

After working together in a few scenes, Huang Niangzi also grasped the key points of Tang Nian's makeup, and there was no need for Tang Nian to do it himself, and the makeup drawn complemented the clothes she wore on her body, which was very appropriate.

It's a pity that Tang Nian still has to control the costumes, and several costumers under Professor Li have almost meaningless clothes for Tang Nian every time, and Tang Nian has to temporarily match them himself.

However, after these scenes, the costumers in the costume room have also grown a lot, and sometimes Tang Nian will make do.

After all, sometimes you have to change several costumes and put on several makeup in a scene, and Tang Nian can figure it out again and again, as long as it is too much, just wear the effect.

Moreover, during this time, Tang Nian became more and more liked by Professor Li, and some of his casual views touched Professor Li, and even once or twice Professor Li and Tang Nian discussed Li Shuangbing's costumes, which showed that Professor Li valued Tang Nian.

Because of these reasons, coupled with Tang Nian's superb strength, the entire crew has a good impression of Tang Nian, not the kind of deliberate flattery of big stars, but a natural sense of closeness.

Perhaps, after Tang Nian grows to a certain height, the closeness between the entire crew will become a sense of distant distance.

However, Tang Nian likes the current atmosphere.

Acting happily, preparing seriously, there is nothing else superfluous, everything is clean, he cherishes it...... Because of too many negative reports in the entertainment industry, he naturally has a sense of vigilance about this circle......

"Hello Professor Li! Don make it up! ”

Tang Nian was far away, so he greeted Professor Li and screenwriter Tang who were standing next to the assistant director surnamed Cheng, and then looked at the assistant director surnamed Cheng.

"Director Cheng, are you sitting in the wrong position?"

After Huang Niangzi took care of her makeup repeatedly, Tang Nian came to the filming site, and saw that Assistant Director Cheng was a little stunned, and couldn't help but make a joke.

If you want to talk about the entire crew, Tang Nian, except for Assistant Wang, has the best relationship with Deputy Director Cheng, because Lao Liu's group actors and degree directors all know each other, and after a few scenes, Tang Nian and Deputy Director Cheng became familiar with each other.

"Hi~~~ It's all Zhang Dao's cultivation! It's your reputation as Tang Yiyi, don't break it here, this is your first outdoor play, although it's not a real outdoor play, but it's enough for you to drink a pot, do you have confidence......"

Deputy Director Cheng, with round glasses, a stocky figure, an oval face, and a smile that makes the whole person look very happy, and he is not annoyed after listening to Tang Nian's words.

But at present, this is only the second time that Director Cheng has been in charge of the camera alone, in order to relieve the tension that comes up from time to time, he glanced at the scene in front of the city gate in Shanwei, and chatted with Tang Nian.

"Director Cheng, the scenery has been set up, and it's time to start!"

The two chatted for less than three minutes before a sweaty field worker came running over and wiping his sweat while talking.

"That'...... Let's get started! ”

The assistant director surnamed Cheng hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Tang Nian nodding, he waved his hand and signaled that the assistant next to him could start directing the group performance to enter.

"All the group performances, according to the rehearsal just now, start to enter the venue!"

The assistant held a loudspeaker in his hand and directed more than a dozen extras who had already changed their costumes to enter; There are also two groups of extras, each about a dozen or so, dressed in clothes appropriate to the occasion, and after a while, they will be walking in and out of the city gate.

It can be seen from the lens in front of Deputy Director Cheng that on both sides of Loess Road, the main road to enter the city gate, on both sides of the booths, the group performances have been in place, and the other two groups of extras are also waiting in the city gate and outside the city gate under the command of the staff.

"The first shot of the 42nd scene of "Meng Jiangnu" is the first time, start!"

"Ready, let's go!"

The staff played the board and stood outside the booth to ensure that they were not seen by the camera, and a staff member of the on-site command was holding a loudspeaker and shouting at the scene.

This is the bad thing about outdoor scenes, the camera starts shooting, and the synchronous radio is not good at all.

Not to mention the loudspeaker, all kinds of noise and noise in the outdoor situation, and even the discussion of the reasons for the inactive crowd who are curious to watch, and the ringtone of mobile phones all interfere with the shooting scene from time to time, but this is impossible to avoid for outdoor scenes.

Tang Nian shook his head, once again understanding the characteristics of the outdoor drama that Lao Song and others told him.

In this case, the actor is easily affected by the distractions outside the filming scene, and if one mood is not in place, it is an NG, and under normal circumstances, three can be thankful.

And this is also the reason why Deputy Director Cheng is extremely nervous.

There are still more than five months left before the Chinese New Year, and the time is very tight, Director Zhang needs to follow up the rough cut of the scene at the same time, and even the background music and the angle of the picture at the same time.

Lao Cheng is a senior assistant director who has followed him for many years, and under normal circumstances, Director Zhang approves of the shots.

Tang Nian had three scenes in a row, and the last ten scenes were all passed in one go, which was one reason why Director Zhang did not come to the scene in person.

The announcement of the actors is generally arranged in advance by Director Zhang to coordinate the time of each leading actor, and in the Tang Nian scene at the beginning of today, Director Zhang had confidence in Lao Cheng, so he stayed in the technical area of the crew and handed over the matter of taking charge to Deputy Director Cheng.

"Sell cloth! Sell cloth! Excellent silk ......"

"Freshly baked oil cakes, three baht!"

"Qiao Niang's handicraft straw sandals, wearing without cutting feet, durable, three baht a pair!"

“……”

The cries came and went, but Tang Nian, who was waiting to enter, frowned......

"That's not right!"

Subconsciously, Tang Nian shook his head and said softly.

"What's wrong? Is the costume wrong? Or is it the wrong content to be sold? ”

Professor Li was the first to react and asked with interest.

Although this young man was not familiar with the clothing, food, housing and transportation of ordinary people in the Qin and Han dynasties, some of the suggestions and opinions he put forward from time to time just made him feel suddenly enlightened about some uncertain clothing details in the Qin and Han dynasties.

At this time, Tang Nian must have found something unusual, and he was looking forward to it.

"Neither...... Feel...... Sound...... Yes, it's the voice, it's full of awkwardness, and it's very uncomfortable! ”

Tang Nian frowned and thought for a while before determining where the awkwardness he felt in the camera was.

"Voice? There's nothing wrong with it, it's just the background, there's no need to be so entangled! ”

Screenwriter Tang is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thin figure, his clothes on his body have a feeling of swaying on a hemp stick, and his eyes are very small, because he has been engaged in the screenwriting industry for a long time, his eyes are sharp but his gaze is often dull.

After listening to Tang Nian's words, he came back to his senses, carefully identified, and finally shook his head, as long as there were no contradictions in the plot or flaws in the lines, he would not be able to detect it under normal circumstances.

To tell the truth, he and this family, Tang Nian, somehow, became familiar with each other, and even exchanged phone calls.

You must know that although he is not a first-class screenwriter, as Director Zhang's queen screenwriter, he is still quite famous in the industry.

He was pondering this reason just now, and after thinking about it, he still figured out a reason, that is, as an actor, Tang Nian is very dedicated, especially commendable, except for the first time, Tang Nian has never changed the characters' lines without authorization, and even never moved the lines again, following the rules and regulations, even the plot is honestly according to the script, unless the other actor plays on the spot and occasionally changes the plot, he will generally strictly implement the plot and character settings of the script.

has been engaged in the screenwriting industry for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen such a down-to-earth actor, and he treats him differently, and his good impression naturally comes.

"Isn't it a feeling...... Their voices were filled with a sense of powerlessness? Not at all like the ancient people who were full of fighting spirit for the sake of life? ”

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.

"Director Zhang, you're here!"

Among the people at the scene, Deputy Director Cheng was the first to react, and as soon as he heard the voice, he subconsciously straightened up and gave up his position very smoothly.

"Hehe, Lao Cheng, you continue, I'm just a little tired of doing background music, come out and take a turn, change your brain...... Hey, filming, filming is the first step, and the remaining 999 steps are in the later stage! ”

Director Zhang waved his hand, signaled the assistant director surnamed Cheng to focus on the camera, and sighed with his hands behind his back.

"They're just extras, or are they the kind of extras who live day by day, without a little bit of motivation, you let them work hard, you make them focus...... That's simply not possible! Even if you use money to motivate them, it won't be much better than all this in front of you! ”

Director Zhang continued to sigh: "Xiao Tang, you jumped out, or you are special, so you naturally feel awkward. When this scene is over, I suggest you focus on the extras for a while, and you will completely understand! ”

"They don't have any subjective enthusiasm, let alone bring themselves in, because they know that no matter how much they invest, they will settle their wages day by day, and their natural voices are full of perfunctory and powerless ......"

Tang Nian nodded, and under the awakening of Director Zhang's words, he finally came to his senses.

"You go on, I'm just going out for a walk, I can't delay the shooting!"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were still revolving around him, Director Zhang waved his hand, quickly left here, and walked around the shooting scene.

And when everyone's eyes turned to the scene again, the extras on both sides of the city gate had begun to walk towards them under the command of the staff, and soon formed a 'vigorous' picture of the vitality in front of the ancient city gate near the city gate.

"It's my turn!"

Tang Nian took a deep breath, secretly puffed up in his heart, and walked to the side, intending to enter the camera.

"Hoo ......"

Tang Nian closed his eyes, took a long breath, and slowly exhaled it, his eyes immediately became gray, and under his tattered beggar outfit, his originally straight body began to bend slowly.

It wasn't until the whole person walked into the camera that he turned into a beggar who had been on the run for many years and had been begging for a living.

I saw him bent over, limping towards the city gate, hearing the cries of selling one after another, staring at the food from time to time, his throat rolling hard, his expression was full of struggle, but his body was forced to stay away.

"Hey, this is really natural material to be an actor!"

Sitting in front of the camera, the assistant director surnamed Cheng sighed again and again, several cameras clearly showed Tang Nian's facial expression in front of him in different camera positions, and there were even overhead shots that left the beggar character played by Tang Nian in the camera, how could this not surprise him.

Although it is not the first time to see Tang Nian's performance, the assistant director surnamed Cheng is still very amazed.

"Huh? That awkward feeling just now...... Why not? ”

Because of the conversation between Tang Nian and Director Zhang just now, both Professor Li and screenwriter Tang noticed the awkwardness in the voices of the group actors in the camera, but as soon as Tang Nian appeared on the stage, that awkwardness disappeared immediately!

The two people who kept looking at the camera were taken aback.

There is no reason, Tang Nian's performance is normal, but no matter who the extras are, even if they are big stars, they still do what they should do and ignore it, so there is no reason for the situation on the scene to change......

"Not only that, look at the expressions of these extras!"

After being reminded by the two, the assistant director surnamed Cheng immediately noticed more details, and he shouted with a pager: "No. 3 and No. 4 cameras, pay attention, follow Tang Nian's walking, the expressions of those pedestrians and the facial expressions of the stall holders!" ”

There was no sound from the No. 3 and No. 4 cameras, but they immediately executed Director Cheng's words, and the two pictures were quickly updated on the camera, and the disgusted expressions of those pedestrians who avoided each other, as well as the disgusted expressions of the stall people, were all presented in the camera without revealing them.

"This one after the other, the changes are too great, right?"

Professor Li is not an insider, he is a costume director and historical consultant, of course he doesn't know the reason for this, but the assistant director surnamed Cheng and the screenwriter Tang hide the surprise in their eyes, look at each other, and don't know how to explain to Professor Li for a while.

"He's leading a show!"

I don't know when, Director Zhang shook in front of the camera again, or it was a common problem as a director, he paused the later stage to come out to breathe, but subconsciously stared at the camera.

Seeing that the assistant director surnamed Cheng was about to stand up again, Director Zhang pressed on his shoulder, signaled him to concentrate on the camera, concentrate on directing, looked at Professor Li and explained: "In our acting industry, there are some actors and artists who are naturally suitable for acting, and there are some relatively scarce actors, they not only have an accurate sense of the camera when they are just starting out, but also have a little spirituality, and their acting skills can crush the actor, but among these actors, what is even more scarce is the actor in Tang Nian's current state, We call him the lead actor, as long as he appears, as long as it is a group play, as long as he can break out, the whole atmosphere of the scene will be controlled by them! Whether it is a big name bigger than his wrist or a group performance on the spot, he will involuntarily mobilize and immerse himself in it......"

For the director, he naturally likes to see this situation happen, because under his drive, the whole play can be passed in one go, and all the actors can play at a super level. But this is undoubtedly sad for other actors, because under the aura of a leader like him, all the other actors, no matter how brilliant their acting skills are, will be overshadowed! Unless you don't let him into the camera, or deliberately suppress it with the camera, he will always unconsciously burst out and become the leader of the live actors. If you deliberately suppress it with the lens, then you will also find that when you look at the whole shot, it will feel quite awkward, and the kind of shot is similar to the out-of-focus lack of core focus of the drama, we usually call this kind of lens a free lens, and the most basic director will not make this kind of mistake......"

"Leader, is it important? Do other actors like this kind of casting? Professor Li continued to ask.

"The director likes it, and the other actors ...... Acceptable! ”

Director Zhang was silent for a moment, and said to Assistant Wang: "When Tang Nian finishes filming this scene, you go to me, take a private business card to him, and tell him that he got a chance!" ”

After that, Director Zhang never spoke again, as if he was inspired by Tang Nian's performance, and left in a hurry.

Only the acne-faced assistant Wang was left, and his mouth was wide open, and the surprised expression on his face was about to turn into horror, and he felt like he was completely stunned.

ZHANG Dao...... How ...... Why do you value it so much...... I value Tang Nian so much!

Assistant Wang's heart was completely shocked, Director Zhang's private business card, which will not be issued more than five in the circle in a year, can even get a new acting newcomer who can't get it...... Tang Nian, it's really lucky.
