Chapter 342: Action!
Listening to Yang Huaixi's statement, this person surnamed Jiang has a bit of a background, and also, the person who was invited to the film crew by Yang Yi, regardless of whether he was filming or delivering a box lunch, was not a simple person. I have long heard that many film crew members can not only do their own professional things, but also deal with some emergencies such as fires and explosions, and they are all a bunch of cattle people.
And this Mr. Jiang, his job in the crew is to hang the film on the camera for shooting, study the actions on the film after shooting, cut out those that are not suitable and unsatisfactory, and then connect the satisfactory segments and put them for everyone to see.
During the filming, I heard Yang Huaixi say that this teacher Jiang once shouted to stop when an actor was acting, because he was going to change the film. Another time, an actor was playing a scene where he was fighting with a spy and successfully killed the spy, and he shouted to stop again, on the grounds that he didn't see the actor's knife clearly, and asked the actor to kill the "spy" again.
The actor and the "spy" lying on the ground covered in blood both wept silently.
So later, some actors would ask him before acting, "Mr. Jiang, have you hung enough film?" Or, "Can you move the camera somewhere so I can see what I'm doing?" ”
But on the contrary, this person has his own ideas, and it is difficult for others to change his decision, of course, if it is a big-name actor, he will not shout to stop, he will only cooperate, and the little actor, sorry, let's listen to Mr. Jiang's words.
Zheng Si walked up to the teacher Jiang and looked at this person. He wanted to know about this person's temper and what this person thought of Ronald and himself, otherwise it would be difficult for this teacher Jiang to stop at an inopportune place.
The person who was fiddling with the camera noticed Zheng Si's gaze, looked sideways, and was puzzled when he found that it was the cat that Mr. Yang had said. What does this cat want to do? Could it be that like several other actors, he came to himself before acting?
Thinking of this, Teacher Jiang shook his head with a smile. Amused himself with his thoughts, then turned around and continued fiddling with the camera, and after a while, he noticed that the cat was still around. He also seemed to watch with interest as he fiddled with the camera.
"Do you understand?" Teacher Jiang turned around. In the direction of the cat, I looked at the "Z" cat card on the black cat's neck. "Z yes, right? It's not you yet, so I'm going to sleep. ”
After a pause, Mr. Jiang dug into his pocket and took out a bag of uneaten biscuits. Squatted down and handed it in the direction of the black cat, only to find that after the other party took a critical look, he turned his head and left.
"Hey, is this disgusting?" Teacher Jiang said to the person next to him, "The look in its eyes just now was disgusting, right?" ”
“…… It seems to be. ”
Seeing Yang Yi coming over, Mr. Jiang told him what he had just done.
Yang Yi looked at the departing figure of the black cat, and said to Teacher Jiang with a smile: "What do you think of that cat?" ”
"Pretty good. Fit for this play. ”
Although Zheng Si walked away, his ears were always supported, paying attention to the movement over there. After hearing the conversation between Teacher Jiang and Yang Yi, Zheng sighed and relieved. This person doesn't hate cats, and his evaluation of himself is okay, plus Yang Yi's reasons, he shouldn't "stop" his play when the time comes, as for Ronald, the one surnamed Jiang didn't mention it, so I don't know his opinion for the time being.
An hour and a half of film, more than 100 scenes, hundreds of shots, some shots.
The performances are not arranged in order, Yang Yi and Kong Han have their own arrangements.
During the period since the start of filming, Zheng Si watched the scenes of the two protagonists, as well as the scenes of Ronald and Tao Qi, Xue Ding and others, except for being nervous and uncomfortable at the beginning, everyone was fine in the next few days, and Kong Han did not put on a bad face.
Although Zheng Si doesn't want to see Ronald, he is really passable in acting, I don't know if it's because of his true colors to play a somewhat arrogant and arrogant role of a rich second generation, his acting is quite good.
The scene that is being filmed now is a scene between the male protagonist, the female protagonist and Xue Ding, as the neighbor of the male protagonist in the play, Xue Ding's supporting role is not a few.
Zheng Si squatted next to Yang Yi and listened to Yang Yi chatting with Lao Wang in a low voice. There was no one else here, and their whispered chatter would not be heard.
"The supporting role is good, he was not pressed down by the two protagonists, he didn't steal the scene, and his acting skills were okay." Lao Wang said. He doesn't use a lot of professional language to evaluate, just a simple statement.
Wei Wen and Shi Xiaotian have that talent, plus they have received professional education and training, and they have experience in acting, so there is no doubt about their ability, and Kong Han will not let them play the leading role without that ability. And what is very surprising is that Xue Ding, who is usually not conspicuous, has also been praised by Kong Han and Lao Wang. The so-called "okay" is already high in Lao Wang's evaluation.
"The newly dug one, the group performs." Yang Yi said. Although he couldn't see it on his face, he could tell from his tone that he was quite satisfied with Xue Ding's performance.
One of the reasons why Hollywood movies have swept the world is because of the actors. Not only do they have an international star team, but they also have hundreds of thousands of signed professional and semi-professional actors. The pedestrians on the streets, the fighters in battle, the tourists on the beach, and the diners in the restaurants that appear in Hollywood movies are almost all played by professional and semi-professional actors, not random passers-by. Over there, even if you specialize in extras, you can earn a middle-class income. This large and high-quality team of extras is an important part of the power of Hollywood actors.
Similarly, domestic films also have a team of more than 100,000 extras, which is often referred to as "North Drift" and "Horizontal Drift" in this circle. However, the level of domestic extras is lackluster, and they generally have not received professional education, and most of them do not have the basic quality of actors, and they are out-and-out live props in the filming work. Most extras can't get into the eyes of those professionals, but there are also a small number of extras who can master certain performance skills after long-term practice and accumulation, which brings unexpected joy to people, such as Xue Ding.
When he was abroad, Yang Yi specially observed the filming there, and after coming back, he also went to some shooting sites to see those extras, and Xue Ding was discovered by Yang Yi at that time, and he observed it for a period of time afterwards, and finally decided to sign it.
Yang Yi likes to explore.
"The older generation of performing artists once said that there are only young actors on stage. There is no small role, even if there is only one line, you have to play it well. Even if it's a supporting role, play a trick. The effort and passion put into it should be on par with playing the leading role. Yang Yi said. Once I found out that the kid wanted to play the role of a detective. He practiced the action of pulling out the gun hundreds of times. ”
Yang Yi just took a fancy to Xue Ding's seriousness.
Every year, so many actors, most of them have received systematic training, even if they are professional, but after a few years. Some are very famous, some are obscure, some have superb acting skills, and some are promiscuous.
Character and ability are not directly proportional, and fame and talent are not always proportional.
"Have you ever heard of a word?" Yang Yi asked.
"What?"
"Stupid people can't do stupid kung fu, stupid kung fu is what smart people do."
Lao Wang smiled and said nothing. He was recognized as a scumbag back then, but look at it now. Those classmates back then, those peers who were once high-spirited, and now many of them are still working day and night for a house.
Zheng Si was thoughtful beside him.
Another week passed, and it was finally Zheng Si's turn.
From the day before. Charlie was more nervous than Zheng Si, and Yang Yi was funny.
Of course, perhaps in the eyes of many people, cats are not nervous, and they are not aware of what they have to do next, and it is naturally Charlie who is nervous, which is also reasonable, and everyone understands when they see Charlie.
Charlie wanted to cry without tears.
After arriving at the set, Charlie told Zheng Si again about the scene he was going to play today.
After a scene between Wei Wen and Shi Xiaotian, after a break, Zheng Si's scene began.
Charlie was holding the script, his palms were sweaty, and the paper of the script was wrinkled.
The people around them stretched their necks to watch, and the actors who had just finished filming the last scene did not leave, they performed on the same stage with cats for the first time, which felt very novel, and even Yang Huaixi rarely did not analyze the characters' lines for Tao Qi and Xue Ding, and they all stared at this side.
What about cat food? Where is cat food?
Don't you have to prepare food for pet films? The people were puzzled.
Lao Wang took Mika and watched it up close with a rare look, with anticipation.
After receiving Charlie's "ok" gaze, Kong Han motioned for everyone to take their places.
“!”
I waited for a few seconds, but I didn't move.
The bulging mass on the bed seemed to be asleep.
The people around me were also puzzled. Do you still have to use cat food to lure it?
Charlie and a few people were in a hurry, black charcoal was not like this before, and it started as soon as he shouted, could it be that he didn't understand it"? It's not right, Xiao Guo sometimes says "", when filming documentaries, it is also "", sometimes it is directly shouted "A", this cat is also very cooperative to start the show, what is wrong today?
Ronald, who was watching a good show, sneered, and was pulled by the agent next to him, pouting, disapproving.
Kong Han frowned, then looked at Charlie on the side.
Charlie was so nervous that he was sweating, and when he saw that Zheng Si didn't cooperate after Kong Dao shouted "", Kong Han came over, and immediately panicked, and couldn't care so much, and said to the other side: "Z, it's started!" ”
Over there, it finally moved.
In some messy room, on the small bed, leaning against the pillow, a little hairy, pointy black ears peeked out from under the thin blanket.
The alarm goes off.
The bulge on the bed moved, the tip of the black inverted triangular nose peeking out from under the thin blanket, and the long beards shook twice, probably from discomfort.
The mouth opened and yawned, revealing the white fangs in the mouth.
The tongue with fleshy thorns in the mouth that was wide open because of yawning was obviously not human.
With a haze in his half-opened eyes, he looked up slightly in the direction of the window, because the light shining through the window shrank the pupils in his eyes from the oval to a narrow fusiform, like those awake predators in the jungle.
……
This scene, from getting up to finding discomfort, to standing in front of the floor mirror, filmed no less than ten times, filmed separately, and there was also a scene of upright walking, which was also filmed several times, not that Zheng Si couldn't act, but he didn't dare to act directly, and he would be treated as a monster. Therefore, Zheng Si pretended to be stupid, and stopped acting or didn't act according to the script, Kong Han would naturally shout cards.
But what Zheng Si didn't know was that in the eyes of Kong Han and many people, this was already trouble-free, and after filming this scene, the people around him were all full of praise, and Zheng Si's face was hot when he heard it.
Is...... I'm so embarrassed.
