Chapter 23: The Protagonist

cut!

This is the voice of the director Yan Ming. Wang Lung couldn't remember how many times he had heard it.

Yan Ming's arrival yesterday did cause a big sensation, and Yan Ming, as a relatively well-known director recently, still has this influence.

Around forty years old, due to the long years of filming outside, he looks relatively thin, wearing a small round-brimmed hat and a large pocket vest on his body, the vest and hat are the same color, it should be a set. He has a few sparse beards on his chin, sharp-beaked monkey gills, and gold-rimmed glasses, and is no more than 1.7 meters tall, which is completely the ninety percent evolution of the cave man on the top of the mountain.

Yan Ming came with the actors, except for a few main actresses who were more tightly wrapped, the other actors were dressed more casually.

Yan Ming did not live up to the expectations of all the paparazzi present, and politely ordered a few familiar actors to interact with reporters.

Because he didn't know that Director Lu Dao was going to shoot that scene, Ding Man didn't let the extras change their costumes, and waited for about half an hour, Ding Man came over and ordered a few men to go with him, including Wang Long.

Wang Lung stood beside the dart cart in a set of dart master clothes.

The male and female No. 1s in this film did not show up, and they didn't come until the afternoon, and it seems that the big names have the habit of being late. This scene can only shoot the dart first, judging from the selection of scenes, Yan Ming is very experienced.

When applying makeup, Wang Lung is like a little daughter-in-law, the eldest girl gets on the sedan chair once, and lets the makeup artist fiddle with her own style.

Applying makeup to Wang Lung is an apprentice, not much older than Wang Long's age, other makeup artists talk and laugh when they work, only this one frowns from the corners of his eyes and looks completely bottomless.

Wang Lung and several other extras stood side by side, Ding Man explained that their movements were very simple, just follow the dart cart, just look at the gestures of the actors in front of them, raise their hands and stop waving their hands.

Although I have seen this kind of footage many times from TV, Wang Lung is the first time to experience it first-hand, and it is impossible to be nervous, and there is still a little bit of excitement.

Wang Lung struggled to recall the television images that had appeared in the past, imagining the way he would have to walk to meet the standards.

Wang Lung thought too much, and when Yan Ming shouted at the beginning, Wang Lung didn't move, and the first NG in his life was born.

After all, he was an extra, Yan Ming's requirements were not very high, he thought that Wang Lung was caused by nervousness, so Ding Man relieved Wang Lung and continued.

Starting again, Wang Lung had just taken two steps and was called to pause, and everyone turned their heads, and all kinds of eyes such as resentment and contempt were cast on Wang Lung.

Seeing Ding Man walking here again, Wang Lung was inexplicable, he didn't know that he was very depressed when he made a mistake there.

Ding Man did not stop when he walked to Wang Lung's side, but turned to an extras next to Wang Lung.

"How did you go? Do you think the American GIs were on the parade? Do you use the right steps? You are all running the rivers and lakes with darts, don't confuse the era, you can walk as you normally want, and you can walk with a big knife dangling. ”

Ding Man came up and scolded his head and face, and glanced at Wang Lung when he spoke, which means obviously, there is also something about your kid.

Hearing Ding Manyi's words, Wang Lung finally realized that he was wrong.

Indeed, when he continued just now, Wang Lung didn't think of taking that pace, Wang Lung just glanced at the one who was criticized next to him by the way, whether it was right or wrong, let's learn from others first, but I didn't expect that the other party was also a 'place'.

The scene was finally passed after being CUT four times, and the remaining two times happened to the supporting actress riding a horse in front.

The first time is that people don't move;

The second time was when the team stopped and continued to move forward, and the supporting actress only cared about herself and forgot to gesture to the extras behind her.

A simple dart scene was filmed for nearly half an hour before it ended.

Wang Lung and the others went down to rest, but it was forbidden to change their costumes, and they had to shoot the next scene later.

It didn't matter to Wang Lung, the others didn't feel good, although it was the end of summer, the weather was still very hot, and everyone ran to the shade of the trees to enjoy the shade.

After Wang Lung left the scene, the director took other actors to the neighborhood to shoot a few other scenes, and then it was Wang Lung's turn to play, but this time there were more people.

This time the scene was simpler, Wang Lung and they just stood still as a foil, and it was just noon after this filming, and the director finally ordered the suspension of the meal.

The standard of eating is almost the same for everyone, and the main actors and extras are basically the same.

This morning, there are many extras who have not been given the opportunity to play, not showing up does not mean that they will not be given food, as long as they are in the crew for a day, even if there is no play for you today, it will be counted as attendance and salary.

It didn't start immediately after the meal, most of the people were resting in place, and the rest areas for the main actors and extras were different, but as long as you looked up, you could see that many people were holding the script and memorizing their lines.

Yan Ming was lying on the Taishi's chair and pretending to sleep, and occasionally someone came over to communicate with him.

Among the extras, several art school students went to some of the actors after dinner to ask for autographs, and it can be seen from their expressions when they came back that they should not have been refused.

Before the start of work in the afternoon, the male number one finally came, Wang Lung had asked Ding Man about the situation of this play, and knew that the male number one was called Si Wensheng.

A little white-faced idol actor, Wang Long checked the information from the Internet to show that this guy has recently had a scandal, and he actually said that he was raised by a rich woman in Hong Kong. Celebrity scandals are like rain, and their credibility is not high, and only those who know the roots of their circle know the inside story.

The scandal is also a means of publicity, and maybe it is also fake news that his contracted company has come up with to increase his popularity. It's only been five years since this guy debuted, and it's been a matter of the past two years that he has become popular. Three years ago, I didn't know that Lu Dao was promoted by the director who didn't open his eyes, and he played a small supporting role in the play and was out of control.

Now idol actors have sprung up, good and bad, no more than him, no less than him, no less than him, after becoming popular, he has only participated in three works, all of which are supporting roles.

In "Drifting Snow in the Rivers and Lakes", he became the leading actor, I really don't know what criteria Lu Dao relies on to choose actors. Recently, I also heard that he is going to change careers and prepare to enter the music industry.

I don't know what happened to this artist now, those who act in movies go to TV series, those who act in TV series go to make movies, and they just make themselves red, whether it is congenital incomplete pentatonic or the day after tomorrow I didn't learn stave, I want to squeeze into the music line.

As soon as Si Wensheng appeared, he was surrounded by the paparazzi who were waiting on the side.

finally fought his way out of the encirclement under the protection of his assistant, and was surrounded by a group of extras from the art school. Most of them are female students.,There are a few gay men mixed in.,I don't know if it's to make up the numbers.,Or if it's really good.。

After all, he is a person in the entertainment industry, and he knows who his food and clothing parents are, although the other party is an extra, but he is also his fan.

Si Wensheng did not treat these art school students like reporters, saying that everyone still has to work together for several days, and there is time, he has just arrived at the crew and has not reported to the director, and everyone is welcome to ask him for an autograph next time.

A star is a star, if you don't accept it, you can get it right away with a few words. Si Wensheng walked towards Yan Ming, although Wang Lung was not too far away from them, he didn't bother to eavesdrop on their conversation.

The commotion brought by Si Wensheng had just subsided, and the female number one of the crew arrived.

Speaking of the name of this female number one, Wang Lung has spoofed others.

Mo Romance, the number one heroine of "Drifting Snow in the Rivers and Lakes", I just think she is the number one heroine, because Wang Lung has watched the TV series she played, but he has only watched a little bit, and Wang Lung can't comment on the good or bad acting skills, not to mention that he doesn't even know the specific name of the TV series.

The reason why Wang Lung was deeply impressed was because of the three words Mo Romance.

At that time, Wang Lung was a guest at Niu Guohua's house, and it was this time that Wang Lung watched Mo Yanqing's TV.

When he saw the cast list of the most relatable, Wang Long was happy, he pointed to Mo Yanqing's name and asked Niu Guohua if he knew the correct meaning of the word Lu Dao? Niu Guohua thought for a long time without an answer.

Wang Lung told Niu Guohua that 'Mo Romance' means don't talk about feelings with me, everyone can talk about sex.

In Wang Long's understanding, it means "Mo Romance", also known as "talkability".

After listening to Wang Lung's explanation, Niu Guohua was stunned for a while, Niu Guohua has never seen any works performed by Mo Yanqing again, if Niu Guohua knows that Wang Lung and Mo Yanqing are now working together in the same crew, I don't know how Lu Dao feels about him.

Niu Guohua didn't watch Mo Yanqing's works anymore, not that her acting skills were bad or her character was.

In fact, Wang Lung has learned about Mo Romance, this is a very low-key actor, low-key and incompatible with the entertainment industry. You can only find her information when she is starring in works or promoting her works, and she usually has no news about her at all, including awards, reviews, interviews and other activities, and she does not have any negative and lace news about her on the Internet.

Any star wants to be as popular as possible, but Mo Romance is not, only when you see her, you will remember who she is, and you will never take the initiative to think of her when you can't see her.

Such a mysterious woman is not only curious by Wang Lung, but also by the paparazzi, and reporters from major newspapers, magazines and entertainment tabloids have been dispatched, but they can't dig out any information.

Mo Yanqing's facial features are very exquisite, and her appearance needs to be savored.

Mo Yanqing, who appears in front of the public, always has a faint smile, whether it is facing the paparazzi or the audience, she treats everyone equally.

In her acting career, she has never played a big name or been late, and today she is only late because of a late flight.

Since getting out of the car, the amiable smile has been on Mo Yanqing's face.

The paparazzi on the periphery did not treat Mo Yanqing like Si Wensheng onlookers, and consciously gave her a way, Mo Yanqing waved to everyone and explained the reason for being late.

All the cast and crew of "Snow in the Rivers and Lakes" are in place, and the afternoon filming is ready to begin.

After finishing work in the afternoon, the director did not let everyone leave, because there were still night scenes to film, but he just asked Ding Man to leave a few extras who filmed night scenes, and the rest could be dispersed.

This time, Ding Man did not let go of Wang Long, and all the extras were mobilized throughout the afternoon, and even Wang Lung played three different roles.

In the afternoon, Wang Lung carefully watched how others filmed and acted on the role, and watching the live shooting was not the same as the well-edited pictures on TV.

On TV, you can watch it with dedication, and feel that other people's acting is very real and not like acting, and you can't watch it on the shooting scene, and every clip is incoherent. If you want to present the whole story in front of the audience completely, you must test the skills of the actors.

Although Wang Lung has not read the script, he can roughly guess the meaning of the actors in this scene based on the director's selection of scenes and the story of the actors' interpretation.

Yan Ming is worthy of being a well-known director, and he is more accurate in actor scheduling and performance scale.

A professional actor is a professional, and through Wang Long's own observation throughout the afternoon, Mo Yanqing and Si Wensheng are worthy of being the protagonists, and their acting skills are still very good.

Although Si Wensheng has the appearance of a little white face, his acting skills are very good. Although Mo Yanqing, who played with him, was a girl, her skills seemed to be better than Si Wensheng's, and she had the least number of NGs in the whole afternoon.

There is another supporting actor who also has great acting skills, and according to the temperament and storyline of his performance, he should play the villain in this play.

At the end of the whole day, the busiest person was not the chief director Yan Ming, but Ding Man.

He arranges, schedules, uses and props for all actors, including NGs caused by extras.

In the entire crew, Wang Lung only knew Ding Man, but he didn't communicate with him too much, Wang Lung was more often an objective person to learn and learn.
