Chapter 512: Group Performance Is Hard to Do (2)

Morning, ten o'clock.

As the sun rises higher and higher, the temperature in Hengdian in summer is also rising rapidly, and the outdoor temperature has reached 37° at only ten o'clock.

Most of the group performers were wearing thick costumes, and there was no air conditioning or anything like that in the Qin Palace, and there were a bunch of people standing in the palace, like a natural smoldering furnace, which made people almost faint.

And I don't know what's going on today, the leading actors didn't go well.

The progress of the starring actors is not smooth, but it is the group actors who are in difficulty.

When the leading actors shouted at the director, assistants would immediately rush up to help touch up makeup, wipe sweat, and send ice water to cool down.

The group performers have no such benefit, except for squatting on the ground, they can only wait for the lunch break after the filming to buy some water to cool down.

"Stop, do it again!"

"Come again."

In this way, the first scene was just a scene of a big court meeting, and the material that could be used was only less than five minutes, but in fact, it took an hour to shoot

"Okay, the group can rest!"

"The main actor walks through again and takes a few close-ups of his face!"

Finally, the director's voice reached the ears of the ensemble.

It's almost eleven o'clock at the moment, and I've been standing for an hour in thick costumes, and the lining of most of the ensemble's clothes is completely soaked, and you can wring out the water when you take it off.

"Okay, let's get started! Twitter! ”

In the main shot of the crew, the two leading actors have to go through again, shoot a close-up camera, and don't need to read the lines, just walk out of the ranks of ministers safely and steadily, and put on a few expressions of courageous advice.

Ma Ke and Bai Yu, who played the guards at the gate of the palace, saw that the palace was still filming, because they were about 20 meters away, they didn't know if they would photograph themselves, so they didn't dare to move.

It wasn't until the camera and the leading actors walked farther and farther away that Marco whispered to the crew member standing in the corner next to him, "Brother, are you shooting?" ”

The two of them used as the background board, because they were far away, they couldn't hear the beginning or end of the shouting at the scene, they could only guess by sight, and when they saw that the crew was still running, they thought they were still filming, and they didn't know at all that they were shooting close-ups now, and the camera couldn't bring the group performance.

The staff member was even more unclear, so he ignored the two of them and told them to stand still.

Because as a background, they can't move around, move a little, and as soon as they enter the shot, it's over, this one is scrapped, and it has to be shot again.

When Marco chatted with Li Jiu, the group actor who played the guard, he was caught by the assistant director because of the chaos and scolded him.

So much so that when filming later, the two of them couldn't see what the leading actors were doing at all, and they couldn't hear the director's shouting to stop and shout to start, so they didn't dare to rest at all, so they could only stand like this all the time.

The first half an hour was fine, I felt pretty good, there was an eaves on my head to shade the sun, and there was a natural breeze blowing to dissipate heat while standing at the door, and the two of them felt much more comfortable than the actors in the steamer in the hall.

But after continuing to stand for another half hour, the two of them didn't feel very good.

"Brother, are your legs numb?"

"It's numb, it's like an ant crawling on your legs."

"Me too"

The fifty contestants in the "Actors, Please Be in Place" program are not all doing background boards.

As an actor, luck matters.

Why is this circle so much about metaphysics?

is because many actors are popular or not, it really depends on luck.

Just like this time, 50 contestants were sent to do group performances, but among them, Li Xian, Liu Xueyi, Zhong Chuxi and Zhao Liying were taken by the director because of their image or temperament, and asked them to perform special group performances.

The so-called special group performance is actually the kind with a few lines.

A vacant lot next to the Qin Palace, where the crew was filming, is the rest area of the crew of "Warring States Policy".

Li Xian, Liu Xueyi, Zhong Chuxi and Zhao Liying are the next scene, they will be a member of the two harem ladies' maids and eunuchs respectively, and the two ladies meet in a narrow way when the eunuch carries the chariot through the palace street.

Then when the two ladies sneered at each other, Zhong Chuxi and Zhao Liying could still get two lines.

Of course, it's just lines like "the slave knows" and "the mother is right".

But because the filming of the first scene in the hall was very unsmooth, it was frequently NG, and it was not the turn of the four of them to play from nine o'clock to eleven o'clock.

Liu Yifei, who was responsible for taking care of these contestants to adapt to the identity of the group performance, slipped to the group performance rest area at this time.

Of course, the place for the group to rest will not be very good, in fact, it is just an open space.

Seeing the four little girls and young men sitting in the open space of the rest area sweating non-stop, Liu Yifei, who had taken on the identity of "teacher", said a little distressed: "I've been waiting for a long time, it's time for you to shoot, the scene in the front hall has been filmed, and the last close-up." ”

Zhong Chuxi, who had never filmed before, looked at Liu Yifei pitifully, sighed and said: "Hey, the crew's waiting time is really torturous, we will be in the crew at eight o'clock, it will be eleven o'clock, and it will not be my turn to shoot." ”

"Prepare the specialists, it's time to start shooting!"

As soon as Zhong Chuxi's pitiful words came out, a staff member trotted over to inform them that they could go to the play.

"Yes, it's finally here." Zhao Liying took a deep breath, cheered for herself, and pulled Zhong Chuxi to the play.

Li Xian and Liu Xueyi also stood up silently, did a few stretching exercises, and immediately trotted towards the palace street on the side of the Qin Palace.

The scene of the four of them is not difficult, the special group performers carried the two actors who played the ladies of the harem, walked around the streets of the palace, and then the two sides met, the little eunuch played by Li Xian collided with the lady, knelt down and saluted, and then the wives of the two sides mocked each other a few words, and the henchmen helped out, it was as simple as that.

But because this is a part of one episode and one shot, the director is very refined, and the requirements for camera positions and angles are very fine.

Liu Yifei, as the "guardian" of the contestants, stood next to the monitor and watched, Li Xian knelt more than 30 times just by kneeling, and kneeling was over at all angles.

Liu Yifei looked at his knee pain.

In addition, when the leading eunuch reprimanded him, he was old NG, and the next hour was basically filming this kneeling scene.

Finally, this mirror passed, and the ordinary group performance of the step chariot was too hot, it would be almost 12 o'clock, and it was the hottest time, and the temperature was 39 degrees.

had no choice, the assistant director had to temporarily find the other four group performers and add money to them to calculate the salary of the prospect, so the filming of this scene was completed.

At eleven o'clock at noon, plus the crew's preparation time, the first scene was bumpy and tumbling from 8 o'clock in the morning to now, and it took five hours to complete.

Every actor's clothes were soaked and covered in sweat.

It's too tiring to film in Hengdian in the summer! (End of chapter)
