Chapter 5, First Audition Acting [Seeking Follow-up, Asking for a Monthly Pass]
Shooting begins.
In the venue, the male and female protagonists were surrounded by the crew, and the two of them faced more than a dozen people, some carrying cameras, some holding radio microphones, some holding reflectors, and some holding light shields......
Although Lu Bu has such a picture in his memory, this is the first time he has seen it up close, and to be honest, he is a little surprised.
At the same time, countless questions still arise in my mind, is this filming? Wouldn't it be distracting to have so many people standing around? Will these images really be transferred to that boxy box TV?
In fact, not only filming, but many things in this era will surprise him.
Zhang Jin on the side, acting the same as Lu Bu at this time, stared intently at every move of the director and crew.
However, he is not amazed at all this, but "learning".
The set is a place to work, and many people think that in a small crew, whether it is a director, actors, or others, they are not in the stream, so they come to the conclusion that there is nothing worth learning here.
It's actually a misconception, and you have to understand that every day you work on the set is to prove that you're still there tomorrow, and nothing else.
So, stop asking yourself if it makes sense and ask yourself if I did what I could to help complete the filming of the crew; Stop asking yourself if the messy chores are really worth wasting your time, but think about why these things are important to others.
"Only by showing one's own value can one be valued." This is Yuan Heping's advice to Zhang Jin, and he has always kept it in his heart.
Suddenly, he noticed the strangeness of Lu Bu beside him, and the other party was like a curious baby, take a look here, take a look there.
How is it the same as the first time on the set? I've been waiting here for a year, and it's not like I haven't seen it.
"Settle down." Zhang Jin saw that Lu Bu was getting more and more excessive, so he ran behind the director, hurriedly dragged him back, and whispered: "Don't disturb other people's shooting." ”
Lu Bu shrugged his shoulders, didn't step forward again, clasped his hands in front of his chest, the look of surprise in his eyes subsided, and began to study how the actors acted, and the reference objects were the male and female protagonists in front of the camera.
The shooting continues.
Again,
Again.
The male and female protagonists scratched and kissed in the room for more than half an hour, and this scene has not passed.
Zhang Jin's face was complicated, thinking that this play would not become his own black history, right?
Lu Bu's eyelids jumped, is there still such a play?
In the past nine years, the review of the relevant departments is still relatively relaxed, and it may not be able to go to cinemas and television stations, but it can be engraved for sale.
Of course, the scale is large, but it is far less than that of Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"Click, that's pretty much it, get ready for the next one." The director's voice finally rang out.
A group of crew members breathed a sigh of relief, and even secretly complained in their hearts, a five-minute scene was filmed for almost 40 minutes, and the two actors were cool there, but they were tired.
And Lu Bu and Zhang Jin, they don't care about this, anyway, they are taking a day's money, and they are not in this scene.
But then, it's the couple's turn.
The venue was quickly set up and filming resumed.
"The front bulge and the back are long legs, and they are punctual." Zhang Jin is familiar with the road, and according to the on-site director's performance, he passed it all over again.
"This little white face is thin and weak, I'm afraid it's not a pleasure to suffer." Lu Bu drew a scoop according to the gourd, said his lines, and his expression was "sneaky" and "obscene" as required.
It's not that hard, he's feeling pretty good.
However, at this time, the director's voice was an octave high: "Click! That tall one, what are you smiling at at the camera? ”
tall, naturally it is Lu Bu.
He is 185, Zhang Jincai is 175.
Hearing this, Lu Bu was stunned.
Did I laugh? No, I don't.
He remembered that he wasn't smiling, but in fact, he didn't quite know what his expression was.
And the director said yes, there must be, the monitor records everything under the camera.
In the eyes of most people, "acting" seems to be a thing with a low barrier to entry.
But the reality is that there's a lot of learning here, not just about technology, but also about all aspects of your body and mind.
Usually when acting on the set, the director may say "It's over, ready for the next show", or "No, do it again", and most of the time you don't have the opportunity to stand next to the monitor and see what you just played.
Therefore, in front of the camera, in addition to controlling large body movements, you must also learn to control micro-expressions and control the muscles of your whole body, such as showing a few teeth when laughing, and what kind of arc is the best, which requires muscle memory training.
Lu Bu is a rookie, most of the time it is a group performance, or a corpse, and the camera can't shoot the face, how can you know these details.
"One more!" The director shouted with a broken face, today's shooting, starting from the first scene, is not very smooth.
"Fengxian, don't be nervous, relax all over your body, and don't think cranky in your heart." Zhang Jin walked over and patted Lu Bu on the shoulder.
"Hmm." Lu Bu nodded slightly, since he wants to do this business, he has to follow the rules.
The machine was reset, and the second shot began.
This time, Lu Bu was very focused, controlled his expression, and passed the test smoothly.
After that, they all followed the men, women and heroines to shoot some scattered shots, and there were no more lines.
At the end of the day, it's not too tired, and it's much more comfortable than a group performance.
After settling his salary, Lu Bu touched his rumbling stomach and called Zhang Jin to go to Lao Wang's restaurant to eat hot pot.
The money I got from Huang Kun and his gang last night, and the money I got from Liu Liang this morning, together there are more than 1,000 yuan, which is enough to squander for a while.
The food was full, and the two of them loosened their belts while walking out of the restaurant.
"Senior brother, is there a bookstore in this place?" Lu Bu suddenly stopped and asked Zhang Jin.
"A bookstore? I really didn't know that, but there was a bookstall on the back street. After Zhang Jin answered, he asked curiously, "You want to buy books?" ”
Lu Bu spit out the toothpick in his mouth and said with a smile: "Bored, pass the time." ”
Zhang Jin thought he was going to buy villain books, novels and the like, and immediately said: "Then I'll go back first, don't play too late, you have to get up early tomorrow to find a job." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and went in the direction of the rental house.
Lu Bu walked slowly, still full of curiosity about everything in this era.
There are memories of it, but it is far from the reality of what you have seen with your own eyes.
After a while, I came to the bookstall that Zhang Jin said.
"What book do you want to buy, young man?" When the boss saw that there was a guest, he immediately asked enthusiastically.
