Chapter 2 Playing with Gao Yuanyuan
γYou have opened the Black Iron Treasure Chestγ
γYou have acquired Skill: Repair Horseshoe (Level 1)γ
[Next Mission: Play a character who appears on camera for more than 30 seconds; Reward: Bronze Chest]
Fang Yu had already known about the ordinary system, so he didn't show a surprised look when he opened a skill to repair horseshoe.
Following the casting director to the dressing room, Fang Yu sat down and started to put on makeup.
The role that can be personally selected by the casting director is definitely different from the kind of cannon fodder, corpses, and passers-by who have no shots at all randomly pulled by the group head, and the reason why this role was deliberately left in Nortel is mainly because it involves the dialogue of the frontal shot.
In this kind of group with many old drama bones and a large investment share, as long as it is a character who shows his face and has lines, even if it is only a few seconds of footage, he will be checked layer by layer.
Fang Yu didn't ask questions like the first hiata next to him, just sat quietly and waited for the makeup artist to put on his makeup.
Put on your face, put on the costume, and you will know what the specific performance is.
"Ahh I'm so excited, this is my first time in the group! I was so nervous in the acting class, the first time I faced the camera, I was so afraid of forgetting the words! β
The female classmate next to her with a big ballast-flavored accent sat on the chair excitedly and stomped her feet, and the makeup artist behind her who gave her makeup rolled her eyes, thinking that such a conversation would be difficult to move an inch in the entertainment industry.
Fang Yu noticed this female classmate, and I have to say that she is quite popular.
She is an actress who has found a new way in the 01 class, and she is not on the right track of the undergraduate major in acting, but a student of the 01 acting higher vocational class, and she is the winner of the Feitian Award for Outstanding Actress - Ma Su.
Fang Yu doesn't know much about Ma Su, she hasn't seen much of her plays, and she hasn't had too many intersections in her previous life.
"Huh? Schoolmate? You're a little familiar! Ma Su is a self-cooked, turned his head and saw that Fang Yu was also putting on makeup, ignoring that the makeup artist behind her was braiding her hair, and the makeup artist who provoked her to roll her eyes wildly.
"Well, my name is Fang Yu, level 01."
"Hah! Coincidental! I'm level 01 too! We are classmates! β
Ma Su's personality made Fang Yu a little embarrassed, so he could only nod his head vigorously.
"What are you playing? I look like I'm playing a maid or something! β
"Vendors." Fang Yu replied.
"Vendors? So what's there to play? Hey, look at me, I'm a maid myself, hahahaha! β
The makeup mirror is full of laughter, that is, everyone except the person concerned is more embarrassed......
Fortunately, Fang Yu's makeup is relatively simple, the background of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the Han civilians of the Yuan Dynasty generally wrapped their heads in scarves, as long as they wrapped their headscarves and wiped some ash on their faces, they looked like people of that era. After painting the makeup, he said goodbye to Ma Su and rushed to the set first.
The filming of TV series generally depends on the schedule of the actors and the scheduling of the crew, not from the first episode to the second episode, maybe it is not impossible to shoot the finale on the first day, and only shoot the first episode when it is finished.
The term is called Shunjing, which roughly means that all the content in a scene is sorted out and shot at one time, which can save time and effort.
Even Fang Yu doesn't know if he can see the starring role in this scene, maybe he, a stall vendor, just took a panorama, cut a few more shots, and waited for the editing effect to become a dialogue between the two, in fact, the two are not in the same time and space at all.
"You, hello, may I ask ......"
Someone suddenly came from behind him, and Fang Yu turned his head.
This woman's bones are excellent, the beauty makes people very comfortable, there is a clean and pure feeling, she is wearing a pink costume, and there is a red dot between her eyebrows, revealing a youthful and untouched appearance.
The three words 'Gao Yuanyuan' were about to blurt out, and Fang Yu suddenly recalled Gao Yuanyuan's experience, the "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" she played was not successfully released, so she changed her words:
"Zhou Zhiruo?"
"Huh?" Gao Yuanyuan's face turned red when Fang Yu, who was wrapped in a headscarf in front of her, said, "I'm here to audition...... Excuse me, director, where is the director? β
"Over there." Fang Yu pointed to a shed built on the opposite side and said.
"Thank you!"
The two passed by, and Fang Yu suddenly stood up and smiled: "Be confident, you are going to become a big devil in the later stage of this role, but you can't be submissive, but I believe that you can definitely get into the eyes of the director, and the role of Zhou Zhiruo belongs to you." β
"Thank you...... Thank you......" Gao Yuanyuan turned her head and thanked her with a blushing face.
Saying goodbye to Gao Yuanyuan, Fang Yu sighed.
Today's Huayu is not as dirty and messy as it was after, and now the biggest factor in casting is still fitting the role.
The 03 version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and the 94 version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" are both directors of Lai, when Director Lai first saw Gao Yuanyuan wearing Zhou Zhiruo's character costume, he dreamed back to 1994 on the spot!
Because in his eyes, Gao Yuanyuan's appearance has many similarities with Zhou Haimei, the actor of Zhou Zhiruo in the 94 version, so he made a decision to choose Gao Yuanyuan as the role of Zhou Zhiruo, the villain of the new generation of Heaven and Dragon Slayer.
At this time, in the studio, the two directors Yang and Lai were looking at Gao Yuanyuan, who had just stepped into the TV drama industry and had just stepped into the TV drama industry.
The original Zhou Zhiruo released the pigeons, and suddenly a Gao Yuanyuan made Director Lai very excited!
"Like! It's so similar! After Director Lai saw Gao Yuanyuan, he muttered softly.
"Oh? Like whom? Zhou Zhiruo? Director Yang didn't think so, and turned his head to look at Director Lai from Xiangjiang.
"Like Zhou Haimei! It's so similar! β
"When you say that, it does mean a little bit like that." Director Yang nodded, "Gao Yuanyuan, right?" Tell us about your understanding of the role? β
"Good...... Good ......." Gao Yuanyuan has never seen such a battle in half of the newcomers, and the previous role did not ask for understanding...... Immediately panicked.
For some reason, Gao Yuanyuan at this time suddenly remembered the young brother she had just met...... Thinking of what the other party said, she regained her confidence, straightened her back, and expressed everything she wanted to express.
Director Yang was still hesitating, and Director Lai on the side gently pushed his arm and whispered in his ear: "I think it's okay." β
"But this newcomer ......," Director Yang expressed his doubts.
At this time, Gao Yuanyuan had a short shooting experience in several movies such as "Love Malatang", but the workload of the movie is basically incomparable with the cumbersome shooting tasks of the TV series.
What's more, Zhou Zhiruo's required acting skills are much more difficult than the roles played by Gao Yuanyuan before, and Zhou Zhiruo in the two stages is like two people, not at all the young girl roles played by Gao Yuanyuan who are very suitable for her and do not need strong acting skills can be compared.
At the very least, it is impossible to make a decision on the spot.
"Director Yang, I understand your experience, you like to use experienced old people, but in our Xiangjiang circle, there are many opportunities for newcomer actors, I think we can discuss this matter well, at present, I think this little girl is the most suitable candidate for Zhou Zhiruo in my mind."
Director Yang didn't make a decision on the spot, just nodded, and glanced at Gao Yuanyuan twice, "That's it, wait a minute, there is just an arrangement for rehearsals, you go to the scene first, get used to life on the set in advance, there will be a few actors who will try out Zhou Zhiruo tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and when it's over, we will inform you of the situation." β
"Hmmm! Well! Gao Yuanyuan nodded vigorously and bowed in thanks, this is the most critical scene to determine whether she can make a name for herself in the entertainment industry.
Walking out of the director's lounge, Gao Yuanyuan saw Fang Yu listening to the casting director at a glance.
After the casting director said nothing to Fang Yu, he went to talk to the next one, and at this time, Fang Yu also noticed Gao Yuanyuan, who was watching him.
"Hey." Fang Yu beckoned, "How?" β
Gao Yuanyuan's expression was a little complicated, pointing to the camera over there, just opening her mouth and not making much sound, muttering an 'okay' mouth.
Fang Yu nodded, he had only known about Gao Yuanyuan's casting through the grapevine before, and he didn't know the specific situation, but it was certain that the role of Zhiruo this week was none other than her, and it had already been decided.
There were a lot of people on the set, and the two didn't talk much, so they were pulled away by the two executive directors to move forward.
Fang Yu was pulled to an open-air street with an ancient scene.
He looked at the stalls in the distance, had an idea in his mind, walked to a small stall that was obviously selling food, and made a fuss.
"Flour, shallots, basins, pans, you have everything...... is worthy of the older generation of filmmakers, exquisite! β
Compared with the later crews who even used special effects to replace the shots of eating steamed buns and steamed buns, the group of Heaven and Dragon Slayer is really too conscientious!
Sometimes, you can't blame the actors for their poor acting skills, it's entirely because the props team is lazy, and you let the actors come to a non-physical performance to eat...... Not everyone has the performance of the pantomime sketch "Eating Chicken" at the 83 Gala, the acting skills of the national first-class actor Wang Jingyu.
There are stalls selling steamed buns, big bowls of tea, and handicrafts, and each stall has pulled the details to the extreme, as if it has really traveled to that era.
Fang Yu was not stupid to stand and wait for the actors and related personnel to arrive, he poured noodles into the basin first, went to the tea stall next to him to borrow some water, and made noodles on the street.
The middle-aged male group actor at the tea stall next to him heard the movement, put a towel on his shoulder, and walked over to join in the fun.
"Wow! This craftsmanship is not bad! Contributing actors? β
The so-called special actor is an actor who can play with the leading actor in film and television dramas, slightly leaks his face, and has more or less one or two lines.
Ordinary extras may have one or twenty yuan a day, so the special actors will earn about twice as much as them, after all, there are acting requirements, which is why the casting director left the role of "vendor" in the Nortel student group.
"Well, sort of, the assistant director and I said two words, it's not difficult."
"Hey! You're in luck! Hey? See you're not old, a Nortel student? β
Fang Yu nodded.
"Oh! Then it's not surprising! I don't look at the money you acting college students make, they must be much better than me, and I've only been acting for a year, I'm definitely not as good as you! Hey! Not as good as you guys! β
This is said to be yin and yang.
In fact, this is the case on the set, you will meet all kinds of people, and ordinary young actors will be subjected to all kinds of difficulties here, because this place is mixed, and those who come to be a group actor either have a star dream or are idle people, half-playing and half-making money.
If you want to get rid of such a situation, you can only put an end to it by becoming a big star, when you become a corner, and when you are surrounded by good people.
Fang Yu was unmoved, and continued to do the work at hand, he could actually understand the mentality of this tea stall brother.
In fact, in most cases, the group performance will stay on the set for more than ten to fifteen hours, and if you wait for so long, you may not necessarily start filming.
The dragons wear makeup and uncomfortable itchy wigs, and people are indeed much more impatient.
In the last life, he has seen too many people who are warm and cold, this kind of sour person in front of him is actually quite good, and what he is afraid of is often the kind of person who is very enthusiastic about you on the surface, and stabs you crazy behind the scenes, and wishes you would die, that kind of person, is the most disgusting person.
Seeing that Fang Yu didn't have any intention of communicating, the eldest brother of the tea stall didn't want to be bored, so he pouted and went back to the tea stall.
It was getting late, the lights were lit on both sides of the street, and the relevant personnel entered the scene one after another, and soon there were more than a dozen passers-by standing on the entire street.
"Don't talk, I'll talk about two sentences." The assistant director waved his hand, "This is Zhou Zhiruo next to me, wait for her to enter the painting from me and walk into the depths of the street, you don't have to worry about her, everyone is like going shopping usually, the only requirement is not to look for any shots!" β
"Group A, you go slowly, wait until you get to my position, turn around and go again, when to shout the card, when to stop, I didn't say stop, no one is allowed to paint!"
"Group B, you pretend to be customers, you two go to have tea, you go to the handicraft stall to squat, you go to ......" The casting director saw Fang Yu who was meeting, and arranged to Gao Yuanyuan beside him: "You go to that stall and ask for directions." He also arranged with the three female disciples of the Emei faction behind Gao Yuanyuan, "You follow Zhou Zhiruo." β
"Okay, everyone understands!"
"Attention units! Yuan Shangdu, street view, the first ......"
βactionοΌβ
After the assistant director's order was given, the group performers were busy.
Only knew that this was a walk, and it wasn't really filmed, and the cameraman didn't pay much attention.
This is the habit of the older generation of filmmakers from the film era, not telling the extras whether they are really on, in order to let these people have points and not to be hippie and smiling, which can also be regarded as a means of managing group performances.
Gao Yuanyuan, who played Zhou Zhiruo, and the three female disciples of the Emei faction on the side walked side by side, it can be seen that the four of them are more excited than the other, Gao Yuanyuan is actually quite good in front of the camera, and the remaining three female disciples are all Nortel students who have never had filming experience, and this is the first time they have tried filming.
Nervous to nervous, they still remembered their own tasks, and went straight to Fang Yu behind the cake stall.
At this time, Fang Yu had already reconciled the noodles, spread out the cakes, and was busy with his own work, not taking the Emei faction and his party who were walking towards him seriously at all.
Gao Yuanyuan's face turned red and came to Fang Yu's cake stall, "That ......" memorized the lines in advance, somehow when she saw Fang Yu skillfully baking cakes in front of her, she forgot everything.....
Her eyes were full of Fang Yu, who was extremely serious about her work, thinking that this was really a cake stall, and she forgot for a while that she was filming.
"Let's eat a cake! Just out of the pot! β
Fang Yu said, the kitchen knife cut the green onion cake, the fragrant cake was steaming, Gao Yuanyuan, who had maintained a perfect figure for today's audition, sniffed her little nose, and her stomach screamed......
[Your ordinariness infects Gao Yuanyuan! ] γ
[Acting proficiency +3!] γ
[Egg scramble making proficiency +2!] γ
[Horsehoe Repair Proficiency +1!] γ
Fang Yu's expression was unmoved, and he didn't have any changes after gaining proficiency, and continued to face-to-face.
The three senior sisters were a little embarrassed, and Gao Yuanyuan also forgot the words in a daze, under normal circumstances, the director should have shouted "card" at this time, but because the camera was not turned on, the assistant director over there couldn't see the surveillance screen at all, and no one shouted to stop.
Fang Yu's afterglow swept to the point that the camera that hit Gao Yuanyuan's face didn't turn on at all, and smiled at Gao Yuanyuan naturally, "Heshi Street?" Go along this street, turn a left corner, and when you see two very magnificent stone lions, turn right and go straight, and you will arrive! β
"Oooh! Thank you! β
Gao Yuanyuan hurriedly nodded in thanks, half fled and half left, and left the street with the three senior sisters.
"Cards!"
The assistant director with the loudspeaker shouted to stop, "Okay, everyone remember to go today, and we will be on the set before seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and we will do it again!" β
"Whew-"
Everything is settled, Gao Yuanyuan pats her chest, this is too exciting! After any link goes wrong, the whole group has to restart filming, and she can't afford this mistake as an actor who has not yet been selected!
Without communicating with the three Emei sisters beside her, Gao Yuanyuan walked back to the cake stall, "Thank you...... Thank you! I just ......"
"Needless to say." Fang Yu cleaned up the stall, he had to make sure that he could start filming directly after he came tomorrow, and when the filming really started, he would cut the cake stall for a close-up, and he couldn't leave his fate to the people in the props team.
Looking at Fang Yu, who was cleaning up carefully, Gao Yuanyuan was a little puzzled but didn't ask in detail, and was about to say goodbye, when Fang Yu suddenly handed over the cake.
"Taste it? Maybe there will be a dinner show here with me tomorrow, look at the salty, don't give you a bite of salty, I can't say anything! β
Gao Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue and took a small piece of cake wrapped in straw paper.
Put it in your mouth and chew it.
[Your ordinariness infects Gao Yuanyuan! ] γ
