Chapter 42 Junior Entertainment 6
Soon, "A Sword Without a Trace" called to notify the signing, which was not Yang Dan's business.
Hua Jiancheng went on a trip and returned, bringing back a contract of 30,000 yuan per episode. Of course, this salary is not high, but for a newcomer like Yang Dan who is making a film for the first time, it is already very high.
From the perspective of director Gao He, if you have filmed ten dramas, but they are all online dramas, and none of them have been broadcast on TV stations, then you are not much different from Yang Dan, who has never filmed a single drama.
Yang Dan played the role of the third female Jin Yunmei in "A Sword Without a Trace". It is expected that the whole drama will have 20-24 episodes, and Jin Yunmei will have a play in 18 episodes, with an estimated salary of 540,000 yuan.
——
There is still about a month to go before filming begins. During this time, Yang Dan repeatedly studied the script, focusing on the part of Jin Yunmei, and then the part of other actors who played against Jin Yunmei. And in my mind, I imagined how I should perform at that time. When I encountered a question that I had thought about many times and still had no answer, I went to consult Zhuang Heyu.
——
In a flash, the crew's call to inform the actors to be in place arrived.
Zhuang Heyu originally wanted Song Xiang to send Yang Dan to the crew, but Yang Dan resigned. Even if Song Xiang's expenses are not counted, it is impossible for Song Xiang to be with Yang Dan for four months. Yang Dan went to the crew alone.
At this time, Yang Dan has been doing this task for more than two years, and Jiuyang Divine Skill has been practiced to the extent that it is not invaded by cold and heat. Wearing single clothes in winter and thick clothes in summer is no longer a problem.
——
To the crew, everything went according to plan and went smoothly. Yang Dan also gradually built up his confidence in acting.
Who knows, three months later, at the last shooting point, something went wrong.
——
At this time, there is not much left of Yang Dan's role. There are male first, female first, and female second. Among them, when playing with the second female, it is normal. But when he was in drama with a man and a woman, Yang Dan could hardly show his face.
That is, in half of the film, Yang Dan almost does not have a face.
When this situation first started, Yang Dan didn't know it. It wasn't until director Gao He came over and asked for a reshoot after watching the film that the crew knew that something was wrong.
At this time, the crew was filming in two places at the same time. Director Gao He filmed in another place.
However, although Gao He asked for a remake, he did not explain the reason. As a result, he shot again, but Yang Dan still didn't have a straight face. Gao He asked for another reshoot, but still didn't say why.
On that day, a shot was shot more than a dozen times, and all the actors, including the gaffers, field staff, props, and makeup, were exhausted.
At 22 o'clock, Gao He announced his break and left Yang Dan to watch the film.
Yang Dan watched the film, and then he knew that he was being pressed.
——
Zhuang Heyu told Yang Dan about all kinds of methods of pressing the scene, and he encountered it in person, this is the first time.
After Yang Dan watched the film, he felt a little speechless. Because of his acting skills, he is comparable to Wan Changqing, who plays the male Jiang Yuhe. Relying on acting skills alone, it is almost impossible to achieve counterpressure.
"Go back and think about it!" Gao He dropped this sentence and blasted Yang Dan away.
The next day, the assistant director was still in charge of filming. The assistant director skipped the scene that was denied by the director yesterday and continued to shoot the back shot.
This night, Yang Dan thought a lot. The acting skills are comparable, why can others suppress themselves? Obviously, Wan Changqing relies not on acting skills but on experience.
Yang Dan's experience is naturally insufficient, but Yang Dan has Jiuyang Divine Skill.
So, on this day, Yang Dan used his internal skills in the whole audience, and at the same time paid attention to the position of the camera, the performance and movement of each actor on the field, not hoping to solve the problem, but hoping to be able to find the problem.
Soon, Yang Dan understood that this kind of pressure was malicious, and both men and women were suspicious.
——
After going back, Yang Dan lay on the bed and thought, if there is a grudge, why didn't they press the scene during the filming in the first three months?
If you can't figure it out, Yang Dan won't want to.
In short, being suppressed is also due to his own acting skills, and he is also responsible.
So Yang Dan thought about how to move his position, seize a favorable position, and achieve counterpressure. Because of the various changes and light exercises of God, there is still hope for working in this direction.
——
When I shot it again the next day, it changed all of a sudden. Every time a man and a woman wanted to block the camera, Yang Dan always preempted half a second and stifled it.
The first time he did this, Yang Dan failed to grasp the heat, not only let himself show his face, but also blocked many opportunities for men and women to show their faces.
Immediately, the assistant director "Card! "Cards!" "Cards!" The shouts rang out, followed by scolding.
But Yang Dan thought, when a man and a woman covered themselves before, how could the assistant director turn a blind eye? It seems that this assistant director is suspicious.
Therefore, Yang Dan did not refute, and at the same time did not correct it.
After a few times, the assistant director was furious and scolded Yang Dan: "Liu Congyu, how did you move?" What's the matter with you always covering the main character? Remember that you are a supporting role, and you have to understand that your duty is OK? ”
——
Because Yang Dan went his own way, the next one did not succeed.
Outside at this time, an "insider" posted on Weibo to declare: Newcomer Liu Congyu played a big name on the set. The content of the blog post lashed out at Yang Dan fiercely and uploaded a short video. The content of the video is Yang Dan's half-finished film of a man and a woman.
——
Director Gao He is here again. Gao He was very angry about the leakage of half of the film and scolded the assistant director.
Immediately after Gao He watched the film here, Yang Dan was still pressed faceless in front, and Yang Dan was faceless in the back.
After watching the film, Gao He, who had a very blue face, stopped filming here.
——
Zhuang Heyu saw the movement on the Internet, called Yang Dan, and asked Yang Dan if he needed help to solve it. Yang Dan replied that he would not use it for the time being.
Yang Dan said that he would not use it for the time being, because director Gao He had completely denied the results of the assistant director in the past few days. Yang Dan didn't know if Gao He had the next move, so he said that he wouldn't need it for the time being.
——
After a few more days, the shooting on the other side was over and everyone was over.
Here, those scenes where Yang Dan was pressed and later counter-pressed, Gao He asked for all the re-shooting.
This time, Yang Dan no longer counterpressured and behaved decently.
At the beginning, the man and the woman did not suppress Yang Dan, and after acting in a few scenes, they reappeared and began to suppress Yang Dan again, but they were immediately stopped and scolded by Gao He.
As a result, this turmoil of pressure drama and counter-pressure was forcibly resolved by Gao He, who is "known for his rigidity".
——
Afterwards, Yang Dan felt that "rigidity" could also be explained as not allowing sand in his eyes.
At the same time, Yang Dan knows that his counterpressure does not rely on acting skills, but on the eyesight brought by internal skills and the agility brought by light skills. I am still some distance away from being a qualified actor.
——
After finishing the work, Yang Dan returned to the apartment. Song Xiang bought a lot of vegetables, Yang Dan made them, plus Zhuang Heyu and Hua Jiancheng, and the four of them had a big meal to celebrate.
Zhuang Heyu took the initiative to mention Yang Dan's suppression, saying: "That incident was directly instructed by the deputy director Lei Yan; And he was entrusted by Yu Minyu. So you're being burdened by me. ”
"Who is Yu Minyu?" Yang Dan asked.
Song Xiang replied: "It's the female one in "The Clouds and Smoke of April". ”
Yang Dan remembered that the original drama made Zhuang Heyu popular. And the female one, who was originally very popular, began to decline because of that drama. It turned out that the first woman was Yu Minyu.
It is normal for Yu Minyu to hate Zhuang and Yu and want to take revenge on Zhuang Heyu.
Yu Minyu wanted to take revenge on Zhuang Heyu but didn't have the opportunity, and when she heard that she was a signed artist of Zhuang Heyu's studio, she took revenge on herself, which is not normal, because this is equivalent to revenge on the opponent's friends and family.
Yang Dan said: "Gao He has already intervened in this matter. I don't know what Gao He will do with the assistant director, so I want to wait a year and a half before making a move. ”
Hua Jiancheng said: "You can't just mess around with strong martial arts!" ”
"Understood!" Yang Dan said.
——
Although the length of a TV series is much higher than that of a movie, it is usually shorter than a movie when edited.
Two months later, "A Sword Without a Trace" was edited into 26 episodes, and then cut after submitting for approval, and finally made a film of 22 episodes. Director Gao He contacted two TV stations to prepare for broadcasting. Thus, the intensive propaganda began.
Taking advantage of this shareholder style, Hua Jiancheng took a variety show for Yang Dan.
The program is called "Labor is the Most Glorious", and it is hosted by Dongyuan Channel, which is preparing to broadcast "A Sword Without a Trace".
The content of the program is to call a few stars, and then divide into groups to conduct a labor competition.
In fact, there are many such programs, but other programs are mostly games, and when it comes to "The Most Glorious Labor", it has been changed to a labor competition.
Of course, it can't be real labor either. It is projects such as carrying water across a single-plank bridge, making dumplings and so on.
Hua Jiancheng instructed Yang Dan: "What matters is not the victory or defeat, but the personality." As long as you show that you are above board, you will win if you lose. ”
——
Because the recording time of the show was not long, on the day of recording, Yang Dan took Song Xiang with him and drove away the only car.
At this time, Yang Dan had already obtained a driver's license.
After entering the TV station, Song Xiang quickly found the program team and made a few jokes with the program team director, male and female hosts. This connection made Yang Dan's eyes red.
made up, Song Xiang even knew the makeup artist. The relationship is not very good, but at least it can make the makeup artist stop the movements in her hands and talk to her. Yang Dan thought that his previous assistant job was really not as good as Song Xiang's.
——
At the beginning of the show, the male and female hosts Gu Yang and Zhang Jing warmed up.
After a few words, Yang Dan and five other guests appeared.
In addition to Yang Dan, the five guests include cutting-edge singer Zhong Junyuan, veteran actor Su Taiyan, young actor Liu Zizhen, and twin duo Hu Dongyun and Hu Dongyu. plus Yang Dan, there are six people, three men and three women.
Yang Dan has read the guest information brought by Hua Jiancheng in advance, and knows that Zhong Junyuan has only released one album, but he has two songs on the charts; Su Taiyan is an old drama bone, with superb acting skills, but he is always not popular; Liu Zizhen is slightly stronger than Yang Dan, and two TV series have been released; The twin group is a pair of little sisters who sing and dance, and they already have an album.
Yang Dan thought, it's okay for such six people to be divided into three groups; If you only divide into two groups, it's really not very easy to score.
