Chapter 26: Boot up
Xu Zhen looked at this short girl who was less than 1.6 meters blankly, both shocked and moved.
Shocked, how many costume dramas does she have to watch in order to know what kind of scenes in which drama?
Moved that after this period of getting along, Xu Zhen clearly felt that both Qiao Feng and Zhou Xiaoman were people who really regarded work as a career.
Xu Zhen knows that the artist's assistant's job is very limited, probably just to take care of the artist's food, clothing and daily life, and help take care of some trivial matters.
However, what has Zhou Xiaoman done these days?
Part-time driver, part-time makeup artist, hairstylist, part-time secretary......
There were some things that Qiao Feng asked her to do, but more things were requested by herself.
She really hopes that she is good, at least she hopes that the artist "Xu Zhen" is good.
People who put their heart and soul into their work are always very admirable.
"Thank you, you've thought about it......" Xu Zhen couldn't say anything more, so he could only thank her sincerely.
Zhou Xiaoman's face turned red when he heard him say this, and he hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, you're welcome, it's good to help you." ”
Xu Zhen said seriously: "It's a big help." ”
He secretly pondered, after he got the next salary, should he bleed properly and buy something or wrap a red envelope for the assistant?
Well? You ask me where did the 100,000 yuan in "Night Rain Rivers and Lakes" go?
I've already sent it to Master.
Now that money has probably turned into sand, cement, putty paste, and wood.
If there is still anything left after repairing the roof, it is possible to repair the Buddha's robe.
Wonderful.
……
Early the next morning, the crew of "The Peerless Twins" officially started shooting in Hengzhou Film and Television City.
Because Xu Zhen is only a small supporting role in "Night Rain", this is the first time he has participated in the crew's start-up ceremony.
There is a lot of attention to the ceremony, and the date, hour, and direction are all deliberately calculated.
Xu Zhen looked curiously ahead, only to see a large incense burner, a long table with roast suckling pig and fresh fruit, and a camera covered with a red cloth.
After the main creators of the crew stepped forward in turn to salute the incense, the director lifted the red cloth on the camera, and the crew was officially "turned on".
There is a lot of preparation in advance, and the ceremony itself is very simple.
Originally, Lin Huimei also planned to arrange a press conference for the pre-promotion of this drama.
However, due to the turmoil of the change of roles in the past two days, the reception was canceled, so as not to leak the news of the change of roles too quickly.
In this regard, Xu Zhen is of course happy to see it happen.
The director of "The Peerless Double Pride" is surnamed Chu and his name is Chu Xiaoxiong.
It seems to be very domineering when you hear the name, but in fact, this director Chu is a fat uncle with a kind face.
The actors privately call him "Director Little Bear".
Xu Zhen looked at the thick smile on his face, as well as the eye-catching double chin and big belly, and felt very kind.
Well, a bit like Maitreya Buddha.
The filming of the TV series began that morning, and the first scene was Emei Hou Mountain.
To Xu Zhen's surprise, this kind of part that should obviously be filmed on location actually uses the interior shot.
The crew built artificial rockeries, caves, and cliffs in a huge studio, with a green screen in the background.
As for the mountain, it will be handed over to the later cutout to deal with.
It is said that it is winter and the mountains in the exterior are not green enough.
Xu Zhen looked at the green screen around him with a strange expression.
Well, indeed, there can be no such "green".
This scene is the first big scene in the whole play: a martial arts person was attracted to Emei Hou Mountain by a fake treasure map, and as a result, after a tragic struggle, the people who finally came here found that the cave was empty, with only a dozen rotten wooden coffins.
Some people believe that the treasure is hidden in the coffin and want to pry it open;
However, at this time, the head of Emei, Shen Xidao, led the crowd to come, and said with his hair open: This is the burial place of the heads of Emei in the past dynasties!
So, while killing the red eye, he had to open the coffin; On the other hand, they would rather die than give in, vowing to live and die with their ancestral land.
The scene is deadlocked.
Xiao Yu'er immediately saw through that this was someone's poisonous plan to kill people with a knife, but no one listened to him.
At this time, Hua Wuqian appeared.
As soon as he made a move, he directly knocked all the more than ten people present to the ground.
Shenxi Dao Chang mistakenly thought he was another tomb robber, and rashly shot at him, but Hua Wujian easily removed the sword in his hand.
made Shenxi Daoist directly doubt life.
- This is Hua Wuji's first appearance in the play.
It's not amazing.
The reason why the crew chose Emei Houshan as the first scene is because this is the first climax of the whole play, and the quality of this scene directly determines the level of the whole play;
The second reason is that although there are many characters in this scene, they are basically all tricks.
The main actors only involve three people: Xiao Yu'er, Hua Wuji, and Tie Xinlan.
This is also the first time that the three leading actors have gathered in the play.
Xu Zhen's scene is in the sixth scene today, and when the first few scenes were filmed, he followed the action director of the crew to learn how to play.
However, as he learned, he found that the filming of the TV series seemed to be very different from the movie.
When Dong Qiyu instructed his movements, he was very demanding.
Not only is the action itself difficult, but there must not be the slightest deviation.
And the action director of "The Peerless Twins" ......
How to say it.
It feels very perfunctory.
The movements are perfunctory, and the teaching is perfunctory.
Of course, this so-called "perfunctory" is relative to Dong Qiyu, not that people are not serious about their work.
This action director worked very quickly, he compared Hua Wuji's movements to the side, and when he saw that Xu Zhen had learned it, he nodded, and immediately went to teach others again.
Acting direction too.
probably told Xu Zhen about the shots he needed, and then quickly went to work on the next person.
The whole crew is like an assembly line for the production of industrial products.
Xu Zhen once heard Qiao Feng say that filming TV series is actually more testing of actors' acting skills than making movies.
Why?
Because, every shot in the movie is carefully crafted, it will be shot many times over and over again, and there will be various masters in a circle to guide you;
As for the TV series, the filming progress is extremely fast, and no one cares about you, basically it all depends on the quality of the actors.
Xu Zhen looked at the busy crowd around him, a little nervous.
Although he carefully studied the videos Zhou Xiaoman gave him last night, and after running-in and practice, he found a suitable method of interpretation, but he was still a little uneasy after all if he didn't go to the battlefield.
He turned his head to look around, and saw that the middle-aged actor who played the role of Shenxi Daoist was resting at this time, so he stepped forward and asked, "Hello, senior, excuse me." ”
"Can I delay you a little bit and play with me?"
The middle-aged actor squinted at him and said, "Acting is flawless?" ”
"I never play against people, I have to make sure that I am full of emotions when I act."
As he spoke, he picked up the water glass next to him and took a sip of it.
Xu Zhen's face froze, smiled at him apologetically, and went to practice on his own.
Looking at the back of him leaving, many people around him showed cautious eyes.
- Is this the new flower without defects?
Let's see what you're capable of!
