Chapter 105: Part-time
"When you said to watch the show, it turned out that you were watching you play tricks......" Hawley looked at Guan Chen, and stopped talking.
He didn't expect Guan Chen to look like he was here to do big things, and his purpose was so low-key, and he ......
"If you're just playing tricks, the crew won't let me, an outsider, in. I can't see anything. Hawley almost wanted to retract the feeling that he was called a director for the first time in seven years.
Guan Chen was silent for a few seconds and nodded: "You're right. ”
"What then?" Hawley asked.
Guan Chen ignored him, and just looked up at the moon by himself: "A wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake, and a fool has a thousand thoughts, there must be a ......%# (vague voice) @¥." ”
"There must be something?"
Guan Chen turned his head and patted Holly's shoulder: "It's okay! You wait and do a group performance with me, and you can go in. ”
Holly was confused, how good he was going to be.
"It's time to make extra money." Guan Chen grabbed Holly's shoulders without saying anything, walked in front of Xing Yun, and said, "Take him one." He'll be with me later. ”
Xing Yun looked at Holly. Holly felt that his posture was being scrutinized, and he suddenly panicked, suspecting that Guan Chen was talking about the extra fast, I am afraid that it is not very serious.
"Okay." Xing Yun retracted his gaze, and there was some dislike for Holly's figure and appearance in his eyes, "Foreigners over there can't shoot ancient costumes, he can only shoot modern ones." ”
Guan Chen asked: "Isn't there a messenger from the Western Regions on costume TV?" ”
Xing Yun said that such a role could not be performed in an ordinary group.
Guan Chen asked why.
Xing Yun said: "In our TV series, in addition to getting paid, actors can also participate in copyright sharing. As long as the part that has been starred is broadcast every time, then the actor who reads the lines in it will receive a part of the money. ”
Xing Yun gave an example, for example, a group performance appeared in a popular TV series and said a word, and in the next ten years, this group performance continued to receive a total of nearly 200,000 Huaxia coins.
"So a character with lines, even if there is only one sentence or one word, is not something that ordinary group performers can get casually."
Guan Chen sighed, looking at the screenwriters and actors who were waiting for the opportunity everywhere around him, he kind of understood why the number of actors in this world far exceeded the number of domestic actors in his previous life.
Hawley, who was on the side, closed the microphone on this topic and just listened silently.
The three of them walked for a while, and soon arrived at the south gate of the shooting base.
Xing Yun's group performance contractor friend was already waiting there.
Xing Yun's silver hair swaggered very well in the night, and the two quickly recognized each other. Xing Yun stepped forward and muttered for a while, and when he came back, he said to Guan Chen, "I have arranged with my friend, wait for you to follow him, enter the group directly, and then listen to the arrangement of the assistant director or director." ”
Guan Chen walked to the side of the contractor with Holly, and several people walked all the way to the base.
The site is large, and the architectural style of each area is different. There are ancient, modern, and modern. The filming base in Changping is mainly modern and modern buildings, and there are more historical buildings such as palaces, temples and ancient cities in Hengzhen in the south.
"The Story of the Police" was filmed here, and Guan Chen was quite happy when he walked on the way to work again after a few months.
The contractor has the unique poverty of the people in the capital, and he is talking about Guan Chen's news all the way, Xing Yun doesn't know whether it is to protect Guan Chen or to protect his friend, so he pulls his friend in front and doesn't let him talk to Guan Chen.
On the way, the foreman of the contractor picked up a few more people, men and women, who looked ordinary but looked very formal.
They didn't join the group right away, but were taken to a roadside full of people.
The next section is the filming area, when there is a crew filming, irrelevant personnel are forbidden to approach.
Guan Chen saw someone walking into a certain shooting street with a group of foreigners. He was a little puzzled, didn't he say that the number of foreign group performances was scarce and not welcomed. Xing Yun explained to him that it was a paid project, so that foreign tourists from afar could experience the feeling of being a group performer, and keep it as a souvenir, and maybe they could see themselves on the Internet in the future. "Actually, I can't see it at all." Xing Yun said that it is unknown whether even the TV series can appear on the Internet after filming.
A man wearing a cap who looked like a crew came over and docked with the contractor.
The foreman of the contractor brought Guan Chen, Holly and a few others together and gave them to the cap man. The man in the cap looked at everyone's appearance and felt that there was no big problem, and if he counted the number of people, there were still a few. The man in the cap turned to the man on the side of the road and shouted, "Two more!" ”
In an instant, the people who were originally hovering around suddenly looked like the most enthusiastic children in the kindergarten, desperately raising their hands forward, eager to stand in front of the eyes of the man in the cap.
The man in the cap flicked away a few hands in front of him, "You." You. And you. "A few people were ordered. The person who was ordered hurriedly stood behind the man in the cap, and those who were not ordered still refused to leave, and raised their hands for a long time, as if a miracle would happen.
Unfortunately, no miracles happened. The man in the cap took Guan Chen and the others and walked towards the shooting area without stopping.
Xing Yun didn't plan to follow up. He told Guan Chen that he would go to chat with his friends first, and call him if he had something or was over.
Guan Chen waved his hand, indicating that he understood.
Several other people watched it very freshly, but they didn't expect that the actor also had an agent.
After Guan Chen and these people were brought into the crew, the stylist came over to check everyone's costumes.
The scene was filmed in a restaurant, and the group performers acted as customers and acted as a backdrop, so everyone's clothes didn't look too different.
"Let's just pretend to eat and chat." The man in the cap told them, "But! Can't really eat! Can't really chat either! ”
Guan Chen and Hawley did not sit together.
The blonde Hawley, whose position was placed against the wall, ate alone.
Guan Chen was arranged in the middle near the camera, that is, behind the protagonist's seat, because of his outstanding image. When you shoot it, you can only show a side face.
Looking at the familiar tiredness on the faces of the crew and listening to the director's familiar orders, Guan Chen felt a sense of nostalgia in his heart, and he really hoped to join the group immediately. Guan Chen observed the set with great interest, especially several other group performances, everyone seemed to be very experienced, some were closing their eyes to recuperate, and some were adjusting their state to warm up. In the corner, Holly was staring at a menu, as if he was genuinely hungry.
Recalling Zhou Xingxing in "The King of Comedy", Guan Chen doesn't know if there will really be a group performance of the director in reality who talks at length about what acting is.
Soon the shooting will begin.
The protagonists descend from the upper floors and sit in front of the cameras.
The scene fell silent all of a sudden.
Wait for the director to shout "Go!" After that, the scene affairs were played, and several actors immediately laughed and entered the state, and several people who were originally not familiar with each other suddenly became like friends who had been together for many years, and began to talk about the gossip about a friend's cheating.
Guan Chen nodded secretly when he heard this. looks like such a shoddy production, these actors really look like actors.
Opposite Guan Chen was a young man who looked enthusiastic, his mouth moved, but he didn't make a sound, as if he was really saying something to Guan Chen.
Guan Chen could lip talk and could distinguish what the other party was saying, "You have one eye, two eyes, and one nose......"
Guan Chen wanted to reply a few words, but the director suddenly shouted to stop, it turned out that the radio equipment had entered the mirror and wanted to start again.
The set began to clean up again.
Hawley came running over and told him that he had just thought of something to eat for a while.
It seems that he has really regarded running tricks as making extra money.
Guan Chen thought about it and felt that he also had a problem. He didn't play anything just now, which is so undeserved. According to the acting method he learned from Mr. Xing, he first had to imagine who the character he wanted to play was, what his goals were, and what his relationship was with the people at the table opposite......
The director quickly prepared the scene and started the second shooting.
Guan Chen sat in his seat, he had long been puzzled, the protagonist on TV spoke very loudly, and some of the content was particularly sensational, but the passers-by around him didn't react at all.
So when the second time he started filming, Guan Chen pretended to taste something, until he heard what the protagonists behind him were talking about, Guan Chen was slightly surprised, turned his head to look at the person who spoke, and then smiled and signaled to his friends at the same table with his eyes, come and listen to the gossip.
"Stop!" The director suddenly shouted.
This time, the time to stop was earlier than the last time.
The people on the set were on guard all of a sudden, not knowing who was so unlucky and made a mistake.
"You," the director stood up and stared at Guan Chen, "what are you doing?" ”
"Can't you see that?" Guan Chen was a little surprised, obviously he acted well just now.
The director was stunned for a moment, and the swear words that were ready to be launched were also stagnant, the momentum was gone, and there was no emotion when he said it.
Too lazy to say anything to Guan Chen, the director summoned the man in the cap and pointed at Guan Chen: "Change him to the side." ”
Guan Chen was a little disappointed. It's not like in the movies...... He changed people without saying a word. Guan Chen didn't have time to argue about the Goldbach or Nicholas performance system that Guan Chen had prepared.
The cap man saw the director leave, and then ran over and moved Guan Chen to the opposite side of Holly, so that the other group actors sat behind the protagonist.
"Inexplicable." Under the different eyes of everyone, Guan Chen muttered and sat down opposite Holly.
He felt that his performance was quite interesting, and the audience must like it.
Hawley listened to Guan Chen's self-talk without squeaking.
"Do you know why?" Guan Chen asked Holly.
Hawley looked away in embarrassment, as if he didn't really want to say, not that he didn't know.
Guan Chen knew as soon as he looked at Holly.
He remembered that China's top art academies recruited students, either with money or talent. The standards for foreigners are more stringent.
Hawley obviously did not rely on building a building to sponsor the school, but relied on his talent to study in China. It is difficult to get into such a school, and it is even more difficult to graduate. Although Hawley has fallen to this point today, he can successfully graduate, and there is a high probability that he has real skills in his hands.
Guan Chen asked Holly: "Director Huo, I really don't know what is wrong with my performance just now, can you tell me?" ”
Holly was slightly relieved by a call of [Huo Dao].
Guan Chen took advantage of the victory to pursue, beat the water dog, and kept Huo Dao Huo Dao said.
Finally, Holyken spoke.
After such a hundred words of foreshadowing as "I'll tell you my personal opinion, it's not necessarily right, just listen to it......" Hawley hesitated: "I think you just stole the show." ”
Hawley said that acting can't be a one-man thing, it's called a one-man show, and making a movie requires teamwork, sometimes the camera is not you, but you jump out to let the audience notice, at that moment, the audience's attention is diverted, out of the play, the mood may be interrupted, and the things brewed by the director in front of him are all wasted.
Guan Chen understood, "I see, Director Huo, it's amazing!" Thanks to you! ”
Holly was refreshed, and said with a ruddy face: "And if you think about it carefully, you also have a problem with your performance just now." ”
"Oh?" Guan Chen subconsciously wanted to call the waiter to order wine and food, but as soon as he noticed that the third shooting had begun, he recalled what Holly said about stealing the scene just now, Guan Chen immediately stopped his movements.
He lowered his voice, put on a look of wanting to hear details, and quietly asked Hawley what was wrong.
Holly saw that Guan Chen was not annoyed by being pointed out to be inadequate, but really wanted to know the inadequacy, so he was willing to say it directly.
Hawley gave the example of how in a vision, for a person to be nervous, is to be at a loss, scratching his head, pacing. But in the close-up view, it is the gaze wandering, looking left and right about him, these movements are small.
"You're sitting in front of the camera just now, and if you want to show curiosity and gossip, it's not easy to move too much. Given that you finally make a gesture with your friends to listen with you, it shows that your character is not a rude person. Therefore, the previous movements, twisting half of the head, looking at the person who is speaking with the afterglow, and looking elsewhere but bringing the ears closer, these subtle movements and expressions will make your character more dramatic. ”
Guan Chen thought about it and felt that it was indeed better to act like that, "Thank you so much, Director Huo, I'll treat you when I go out later." ”
Hawley said that what he said was not really nothing, but that it was taught in school. He, who studied directing, only took acting as an elective, and after so many years, what he said may not be right.
Guan Chen asked what acting classes were taught in the school.
Hawley said, from the lines, to the body, all taught.
Guan Chen licked his lips: "Director Huo, I'll introduce you to a part-time job." ”
Hawley looked at Guan Chen's salivating appearance, and suddenly became vigilant, "I don't do a serious part-time job, I don't ......"
"Seriously." Guan Chen comforted Holly and said, "You teach me what you learned in school." I should stay in Changping these days and run group performances. While learning, practice at the same time, just right. ”
