After turning his head, Mr. Hu asked again, "Do you understand the routine?" ”

I shook my head, I didn't understand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Teacher Hu explained: Routines refer to the martial arts routines in film and television dramas, which have the same meaning as the swords, guns and sticks of street performances, and generally people who have practiced martial arts understand routines. Don't look at the lively and dangerous fight between the two people, in fact, there is no, it has been practiced thousands of times.

Knowing that I don't know how to do tricks, Mr. Hu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't, follow me in the future." ”

I was still staring at me in a daze, but the eldest cousin in the back laughed for a while, and pushed me behind, "Stupid, don't thank the master, you will be Director Hu's person in the future." ”

Although I still can't figure out the way, I still thank Mr. Hu according to what my eldest cousin said.

Later, I learned that if you want to get ahead in the film and television industry, you have to form a gang and keep warm, and you will be kicked out sooner or later.

Before meeting me, Hu Wen did not do martial arts instruction, he was just a master in the martial arts, when he was young, he mixed in Hong Kong and Taiwan, ran the dragon set and also worked as a stand-in, and then the mainland film and television industry was hot, he turned back to the mainland, and the mix was not satisfactory.

To be a martial arts instructor, it is one thing to have real kung fu in hand, and the key is to have someone under you, that is, the legendary martial arts.

For example, Sammo Hung has the Hong family class, Jackie Chan has the family class, and Yuan Heping's Yuan family class, these members usually practice the movements skillfully, once the film and television drama starts, they are all their own families, according to the pre-rehearsed routine, go up to practice ha, it is easy to live.

If there is no martial arts, if you want the actors to practice their own movements, the time and energy consumed are huge, and in the contemporary film and television industry where speed is king, the low efficiency will definitely not be able to eat.

After all, Hu Wen has been in the circle for 20 years, and he has some ways, and two days ago, a good director took over a scene and needed a martial arts instructor.

This is the case in the film and television industry, in addition to solid personal basic skills, you also have to fight for connections. There is kung fu but no connections, and if there is a suitable scene, it will be topped down. And almost all directors will use their familiar teams. Including photography, lighting, recording, props, and makeup, because everyone cooperates for many days, they are familiar with each other, and they get twice the result with half the effort.

In addition, when it comes to martial arts scenes, they are generally divided into two groups, AB, group A specializes in literary dramas, and group B specializes in martial arts, so that filming is efficient.

Hu Wen's friend happened to be in charge of Group B, specializing in martial arts scenes, so he asked Hu Wen to partner with him. It is said to be a braided play, and there are a lot of martial arts moves in it.

After being in the circle for so many years, Hu Wen has his own circle of contacts, and he can also gather more than a dozen martial arts to be an action director, but the difficulty is that he lacks a starring stand-in.

At this time, the atmosphere in the film and television industry was not so bad, and the stand-in was limited to action scenes, and the main scenes still needed to be completed by the actors themselves.

Of course, the action scene requires a stand-in, not because the actor himself can't play, but mainly because he can't afford to spend time, after all, it is common to miss occasionally on the set, in case the actor does not pay attention to being injured, it will affect the progress of the whole play.

For example, Jet Li's stand-in is Xiong Xinxin, both of them can fight, but Mr. Xiong can be injured, but Jet Li's injury will slow down the progress of the whole play.

There is also a situation where a stand-in is used for the sake of the film to make the effect look good, for example, a certain actress has thick legs, and when filming the scene where she washes her feet by the stream, the director will find a person with thin and white legs to do a close-up, so that the effect is pleasing to the audience.

There are other flesh-revealing scenes that require stand-ins, and the reasons for this will be discussed later.

But when I learned that I was going to be a stand-in, my expression was confused, which was different from what my eldest cousin told me.

The eldest cousin said that if I can turn my heels, I can act, I can be a star, and I will make a lot of money. Only then did I realize that I was just a stand-in, and I couldn't show my face at all.

Teacher Hu added later: "How about you being a stand-in, following the group throughout the whole process, 100 yuan a day?" ”

It's not good to have money, so I agreed immediately.

The daily salary is 100 yuan, and it is 3,000 a month, and the stand-in is the stand-in, so the fool is unwilling to go.

Subsequently, the eldest cousin looked at Mr. Hu and smiled, Mr. Hu's face was slightly embarrassed, and finally he bit his steel teeth and said to call and ask.

Later, I learned that the eldest cousin was not an assistant director at all, and he pestered Mr. Hu to ask Mr. Hu to give him a chance, saying that he had seventy or eighty group performances in his hands, and asked Mr. Hu to help talk to the director, can you hand over the group performance affairs of this play to him.

This kind of behavior of entrusting people is the most common in the crew, and it exists in almost every crew.

Generally, before the crew prepares, the group head will be booked, and it is decided by the assistant director. If the group leader wants to get along, he must handle the relationship with the assistant director.

There are even some group performances that are not group leaders, because they will come to things, their heads will turn quickly, and they will be appreciated by the assistant director, and they will directly become the group leaders.

The job of the group leader is very simple, that is, he got the order of the assistant director, saying how many group performances are needed today, and when he goes outside to say hello, there will be countless group performances vying to sign up.

Generally, like those film and television bases in Hengdian, Beijing, there are countless people waiting for group performances every day, but it is not so easy to find group performances for scenes that are filmed on the spot, such as this drama that is ready to be filmed now, the director asks everyone to go to GS Dunhuang for live shooting, so it is not easy to find group performances, because it involves a road and traffic problem.

The crew wants to save money, and the group performance wants to make money, and they can never talk about it.

Teacher Hu called over and said over there: "Director Chen, the stand-in for the male one has been found, the person is good, the kung fu is also beautiful, and the figure and appearance are appropriate, I will send you a photo when I go back." Later, he asked: "By the way, Director Chen, have we decided who will be in charge of the group performance this time?" ”

I didn't know what to answer over there, Mr. Hu hung up the phone, smiled and said to the eldest cousin: "Yes, you will be responsible for the group performance of Group B, the old rules, you know." ”

The eldest cousin was immediately excited, grinning and thanking, "No problem, you can rest assured that this matter will be left to me, it will be done properly." ”

The so-called rules refer to the relationship between the group leader and the group performer, as well as the assistant director, not a personal relationship, but an economic relationship.

The group head took over the work from the assistant director, and the money for the group performance was also handed over to the group leader by the crew accountant, and the group head gave it to the group performance.

The price of the group performance is negotiated between the group leader and the crew, for example, the group performance is 80 a day, and the group leader only gives the group performance 40, or some kind-hearted people give 50, and what is left is the labor fee of the group leader.

And the money left behind is not a group of people alone, he also has to give to the assistant director, for example, he got thirty, give the assistant director fifteen, or ten yuan, of which there is a degree, which needs to be grasped by the group leader.

This is called the unspoken rule, you give more, and the next time there is a play, you will be asked to arrange a group performance, and if you give less, it is a hammer deal.
