Chapter 150: Paper Money (3)
I didn't have enough time, and we talked for so long. The two of them hurriedly finished eating, and rushed to the place where Xiaolinzi and their crew were.
It was an ancestral hall, a very ordinary ancestral hall. There is only one floor, but it is very high, the top three floors are as high, and the lobby is very spacious, with many makeshift light bulbs connected to the wires all over the floor, blue, yellow, red, and there are very few people in the lobby.
After Xiao Linzi entered the ancestral hall, he walked up to a middle-aged man in his forties and asked, "Team Leader Liao, where is the director?" Is it coming? ”
The other party looked at his watch, shook his head and said, he won't arrive until half past seven, let's set the stage first.
Xiao Linzi looked at me, and I said, "It's okay, you guys are busy first, and when he comes, it won't be long." He nodded and said, "Then you can look around first, and I'll help fix the scene." After saying that, he followed the other two people to get busy, lifting the table, moving chairs, and pulling the curtains, and was very busy.
As time passed, I became more and more puzzled to watch, and finally they set up an offering table, which was covered with yellow cloth, incense burner, water bowl, glutinous rice, yellow paper, spirit flags, wooden swords, and bells were all placed one by one.
I used to see Mr. Lin Zhengying's approach on TV, and that flowing and heroic appearance made me worship. It's worth the trip to be able to see how they shoot today.
Xiao Linzi was a little stunned when he saw me looking at the offering table, and he came over and asked me if I had any questions? I said no, but I was just looking forward to the performance of the Taoist actor.
He smiled and said, "It's not comparable to you." Then he turned and left.
It didn't take long for the scene to be almost finished, and people began to walk into the ancestral hall one after another. The ancestral hall, which was supposed to be very spacious, became a little crowded after everyone came in. The lighting crew started to light up everywhere, and the actors began to wear costumes, and some were still wearing makeup. All of them are busy with their own business. Kobayashi stood with me in a corner at the gate, and he looked outside and said, "Why hasn't the director come yet?" ”
I watched the crowd in the room closely, and there were five people who had changed their costumes, including one actor in a yellow uniform. This actor has a goatee, a crooked crown of five mountains, and a treacherous posture with thief eyebrows and rat eyes. Holding the buckle on the top of the clothes in one hand, holding a few pages in the other hand and whispering constantly, he should be reviewing his lines.
Next to him stood an old man, his face unwavering, his eyes fixed on the things on the altar, as if he was looking for something. The old man didn't change his costume, but he stood on the actor's side.
"Hey, is that old man also an actor?" I asked with my elbow against the small forest. Xiao Linzi looked in the direction of my finger, and then said, "Yes, he is the actor who took the paper burning scene outside last night." ”
"How does it feel weird?" The more I looked at it, the more strange I felt, the strange thing was why he was always staring at the offering platform, was there something he wanted on the offering platform?
"What's strange, eh, the director is here, go." When Xiao Linzi saw that the director was coming, he didn't care about discussing with me what was wrong with the old man, so he pulled me and walked over to the director.
"Director, I brought my senior brother here." Xiao Linzi walked up to the director as if flattering, nodded and said.
The director just nodded slightly to Xiao Linzi, and there was not much expression on his face, and then his eyes looked at me, and suddenly changed into a smile, and stretched out a hand and said: "Hello, I'm going to trouble you this time, I'm sorry that we have to finish filming things first, so I have to trouble you to wait here." ”
I was originally unhappy with his attitude towards Xiao Linzi, but now that he said so, he didn't even want to ask me if I was willing to wait. I really want to say that you are busy first, and come to me by yourself when you are done. But looking at Xiao Linzi, who was still smiling next to me, I forcibly changed this sentence: "Okay, it's okay, you are busy first." ”
He nodded, smiled slightly, and said: Then I will be out of company. Walked straight over to a chair next to a pile of machines.
"You director doesn't treat you very well, huh? Xiao Linzi, are you sure you have a future with him? I whispered to the little forest beside me.
When he heard me say this, he just smiled, and then said casually: "This is the majesty of the director, and it has to be like this on the set." Everyone will take it. ”
This is his excuse, I didn't expose it, I thought that the director who relied on this kind of majesty to convince everyone is estimated to not be a big deal in the future, filming is meant to be for everyone to see, to satisfy everyone's interest and fun, if the people filming are pressed by this kind of serious majesty, how can they shoot other emotional scenes? But that's just my opinion.
As soon as the director sat down, he reached out and took a megaphone: "Are you all ready?" In the first shot of the thirteenth constant, the actors are in place, and the idlers and others exit the ancestral hall. Whoever wants to appear in the camera for no reason causes NG to be fined two hundred. As soon as the director said this, half of the people in the ancestral hall suddenly went out.
After hearing this, several actors who were originally standing together also began to disperse and prepare.
I said to Xiao Linzi, "Then am I considered an idler?" ”
Xiao Linzi said: "It's okay, let's just stand here, the camera can't shoot here." I sighed and looked into the middle of the room, all the actors were ready, only the old man didn't seem to hear, he was circling around the altar, and from time to time he turned up the yellow cloth covering the altar.
"Who, why are you still over there, hurry up and get out." The director shouted through a megaphone while scratching his head.
The old man heard it this time, turned his head and was stunned, and then withdrew, he secretly glared at the director, his face was slightly displeased.
With the director's megaphone order, the Taoist actor came to the offering stage with a peachwood sword, reciting some Taoist incantations that did not match the edges, and the peachwood sword in his hand could not see the routine dancing, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were staring at the camera in front of him, as if our Monkey King had seen a monster. It's decent, and I'm happy to see it.
After dancing with the wooden sword, he picked up a porcelain bowl on the table, took a sip of something that he didn't know if it was water or wine, and then raised his head and squirted it hard. It can be seen from the well-proportioned mist that immediately disperses in the air that he has definitely practiced for a long time.
As soon as the mist dissipated, he waved the wooden sword to the top of the offering platform, and the tip of the wooden sword brought up a yellow rune paper, and slowly waved it in the air a few times before coming to the lit red candle, with a muffled sound of "bang", the thin yellow paper directly brought up a flame, and instantly turned into ashes.
This trick Xiao Ye also used when he was doing formal rituals, and it was used to show the owner, but in fact, the talisman was already soaked in gasoline, and it caught fire when it touched the fire. This kind of thing is just a trick and has no real effect.
I looked at the actor's serious demeanor, and suddenly remembered that Xiao Ye was also in this way when he was serious and fooling people, and I couldn't help laughing quietly.
I'm laughing, and there is another person who is also laughing, that is, the old man who watched the stage before, but I was looking at the Taoist actor laughing, but he was laughing at the director. I followed his gaze and looked at the director, who stared at the screen with a serious face, scratching his head and neck with his hands, as if he hadn't taken a shower for a long time and had eaten something very spicy, looking uncomfortable.
Xiao Linzi saw that I was laughing, and was about to ask me what I was laughing at, but the director's click interrupted his questioning, and he looked at the director suspiciously. I saw the director stand up and say, "This shot is good, let's do it again, maybe we can do it better." After saying that, he sat down again, his hands kept moving, and he kept touching the back of his neck.
The Taoist actor shook his head helplessly, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Okay, director, then do it again." His voice was a little green, in contrast to his decent mantra voice, sounding like a young man in his twenties. is so young, looking at the dress and makeup, I thought I was forty or fifty years old, and this makeup technique is good.
Here comes again, the director didn't find fault with anything, just said okay, let's go first. Xiao Linzi muttered quietly beside him: "This young man has been practicing this all day, and the director said that he was so reluctant." ”
(It will be delivered on time at six o'clock, and there will be a more one later in the evening.) Thank you, "Qiao Xiaomo 2222222 "and"
