Chapter 19: I'm Over!
Director Zhou looked Cao Ping up and down carefully, looked at Deng Yuanqing again, nodded and said with satisfaction: "The two of you are very good in height and appearance, and your kung fu foundation is also very good, especially Cao Ping, your dodge just now is very elegant and natural, by the way, do you know how to ride a horse?"
Oh! I really asked what to do if I was riding a horse? Cao Ping secretly complained in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Deng Yuanqing nodded and said, "I have run two costume crews in front of me and rode horses a few times. ”
Cao Ping had no choice but to shake his head and say, "I haven't ridden a horse, but I've ridden a cow in my hometown, is this counted?" After speaking, Cao Ping blushed a little.
Director Zhou frowned slightly, and said: "We are filming the King of Lanling, although it is a routine of idol dramas, but it is also a historical theme, there will be a lot of big scenes of fighting on horseback, although special effects will be added in the later stage, but special effects mean burning money, so if you can use real people, try to use real people, so you must be able to ride a horse, you go back and hurry up to learn, if you ride a bull, it will be a little bit of a foundation, not to mention how many fancy actions you will have, but you must always be able to ride a horse!"
Cao Ping hurriedly nodded and said, "I know the director! I will go back and hurry up to practice!"
Director Zhou nodded and said, "Actually, it's quite simple, I believe that with your skills, you can learn it in a day and a half." You two go with me to the crew and sign a contract. After speaking, he walked first, and while he was talking, the assistant had already packed his things and put them in the director's scooter.
Cao Ping and Deng Yuanqing also walked behind, Cao Ping secretly pulled down Deng Yuanqing's sleeve, blinked and signaled to him, Deng Yuanqing slowed down in confusion, the two fell behind a little, Cao Ping asked him: "Brother Deng, have you hung Weiya? Will we hang Weiya? I have never hung it, how do you practice this?"
Deng Yuanqing thought for a while and said: "Probably not, right? We are filming a TV series with a historical theme, and it shouldn't be like a martial arts film! But it's hard to say, if you run into an irresponsible screenwriter and a director with a big brain, then it's not sure! You better ask the director!"
Cao Ping looked at Director Zhou's back, hurried up, walked beside Director Zhou, and asked, "Director, I want to ask if there will be a scene of hanging Weiya in the plot of our drama?" ”
Director Zhou glanced at him and said, "Am I so unreliable? We are a drama with a historical theme, and it is better to say that it is adapted into an idol drama to cater to the taste of the market, but if it is made into a martial arts film that is flying away from the sky and all kinds of internal strength and explosion, it will really be sprayed to death." But you are right to have this idea, to be a martial artist, a stuntman, you often have to wear Weiya to the sky for the leading actor, after all, it hurts to hang Weiya, and some big-name stars don't want to suffer that crime, they would rather not have a frontal camera, at this time they will have to be a stand-in, anyway, they will be used after all. ”
While talking, several people got into the car and drove to the woods behind You Long and Phoenix, where the crew took the scene of Baishan Village, where they are now filming.
Cao Ping listened to the two of them chatting about filming, looking at the passers-by flashing outside the car, he felt like in a dream, he became an actor like this? Director Zhou still likes to chat with his assistant, Cao Ping listened to Director Zhou and his assistant jokingly complaining about Tsui Hark and Xu Laowei occupying the Qin Palace to shoot "Di Renjie: Shendu Dragon King", forcing the crew to take the location, or shoot directly in the small palace, ridiculing that Xu Laowei and Stephen Chow are both obsessed with playing 3D, and said that the most anticipated 3D **** last year went to Hong Kong to watch, but the result was a pseudo-3D that relied on two or three shots to brag, and the rest of the essence was still an ordinary **** The director's assistant is called Sister Zhang, and she is also a female man with a whooping face, her face does not change, and she is interested in discussing the 3D*** set, costumes and actresses' figure with Director Zhou. Cao Ping clenched his fists in his heart, this is also a person in love!
Cao Ping and the two followed the director out of the car, but saw that the scene in Baishan Village was being filmed, and Director Zhou waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to follow him inside.
After Deng Yuanqing came in, he kept stretching his neck to look at the shooting scene inside, his eyes were round, and he was excited to smash Cao Ping, while lowering his voice and saying: "Look! It's Feng Shaofeng and Ariel Lin! Ariel Lin is so cute!"
Cao Ping felt a little funny, but he didn't expect Deng Yuanqing, who was so masculine in his boxing style, to be a little fan brother.
Walking closer, Cao Ping saw a man in his fifties with a hat sitting behind an LCD monitor watching the performances of the leading actors, who seemed to be the director of the TV series. Director Zhou took Cao Ping and the two to the back of the director and waited quietly.
"Click!" the director shouted, shouting at the actor who was playing opposite Feng Shaofeng: "Chen Xiaodong, have you made a mistake! It's the fifth time, it's OK to get your emotions right? Don't be angry right away! You have now rescued Xue Wu from the hands of slave traders, and you have experienced danger, and you are distressed about Xue Wu, but when you see Gao Changgong, you first despise him for not taking good care of Xue Wu, and then envy him for being able to have Xue Wu, and then turn into anger, you have to experience this emotion! Don't waste everyone's time!"
Chen Xiaodong's forehead was sweating when he was scolded, and he quickly admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry! Director, I didn't act well, can you give me five minutes to brew my feelings?"
The director shook his head helplessly and shouted, "Everyone rest for five minutes!" turned his head to see Director Zhou and said, "Xiao Zhou, you are here." ”
Director Zhou unscrewed the water bottle, took a sip of tea, stepped forward and said, "Director Zhong, don't worry, our progress is already very fast." ”
Director Zhong rubbed his temples and said: "Xiao Zhou, yesterday Lu Chao told me that Dongwang Culture has changed major shareholders and there are some problems with funds, and Emperor and Yaoke are communicating with them about the modification of the distribution and sharing of investment shares, which may affect the start of the crew, I am also worried, I plan to start filming war scenes next week, and finish filming these troublesome scenes first, even if the crew stops working, the funds will follow up later, and the interior scenes will be filmed together, which will be faster." Alas, but in this case, I'm afraid we won't be able to play this year, maybe it will have to wait until 2013. ”
Director Zhou smiled and said, "Anla, Director Zhong, you also know that I am very good at filming fast scenes, as long as the actors' schedules are OK, I will help you get the interior scenes!"
Director Zhong nodded, and then asked, "How did you go to the interview stand-in?"
Director Zhou smiled and pointed at Cao Ping and the two and said, "It's not bad, I found two seedlings." ”
Cao Ping and the two stepped forward to greet Director Zhong, Director Zhong looked at Cao Ping and the two, nodded, and said, "Well, the appearance is very good, I can rest assured that you will do something, then come to the crew to report the day after tomorrow, let's focus on the war scene first." ”
Director Zhou said: "Okay, then I'll take them to sign the contract first." ”
Cao Ping took the contract that had just been printed out and looked at it, and found that the salary column of the stuntman actor was 500 yuan/day, and the time was 10 days. Cao Ping's heart had already blossomed, but he didn't expect that he would be able to get an income of 5,000 yuan for the first time filming, according to Wang Yuange, this is the income that some unlucky old Hengpiao can't get for two or three years! Deng Yuanqing also has the same contract.
After the two signed, Director Zhou said: "Okay, you go back and prepare first, come here next Monday to report, Cao Ping remembers to go back to practice horseback riding, and he will use it for filming next week." Also, I suggest that you come over a day in advance and communicate with Master Wu Zhi about the tricks, so as not to have problems on the spot during filming. ”
"Got it, thank you director!" Cao Ping took Director Zhou's words to heart, then greeted politely and walked outside the film and television city with Deng Yuanqing.
The two chatted while walking, very excited, Cao Ping learned that the house rented by Deng Yuanqing was not too far away from Uncle Wang's store, Cao Ping considered whether to invite Deng Yuanqing to Uncle Wang's store to eat, but after thinking about it, it felt inappropriate, so he didn't open this mouth, the two left each other's phones, and made an appointment to meet here two days later, so they went their separate ways.
Cao Ping excitedly dialed Wang Yuan's phone, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, I'm over, and I've signed a stand-in contract!"
"Really? Haha! I knew you could do it! Where are you? I'll pick you up," Wang Yuan shouted happily on the phone.
Cao Ping said the place and hung up the phone, he knew that Brother Wang Yuan's subordinates also had many special contracts and even roles, and there were not a few stand-ins, but he was still sincerely happy for himself, which made him feel very warm.
After a while, Wang Yuan came over on an electric car, slapped him with a smile, waved his hand, and said, "Get in the car! Let's go home!" Cao Ping sat in the back seat, Wang Yuan twisted the accelerator, and the two drove home.
"Brother Yuan, I have to learn how to ride a horse in the past two days, we will start the show next Monday, and there will be a lot of horseback riding. Cao Ping sat in the car and said to Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuanyuan didn't reply, and said loudly: "No problem, after going back to eat, I'll go to my friend, borrow a horse and come out for you to practice, and wrap it on me!"
Back home, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang learned the news and were very happy, Uncle Wang shouted to open a bottle of wine for Cao Ping to celebrate in the evening. Cao Ping also smiled, full of longing for the future.
"Jingle bell!" Cao Ping's phone rang, he picked it up and found that it was Li Qian calling, he couldn't help but be a little strange, after he got the number that day, he saved Li Qian's number and sent her a text message, she only replied: "I'm filming, contact back." "I never replied to the message, why did I call suddenly. He picked up the phone and said, "Hey, Teacher Li Qian, hello!"
Li Qian's lively voice rang on the phone, and there was a chirping female voice next to her: "Hey, handsome guy, are you in the store? I'll take a few sisters to your store to eat the delicious food you made at night!"
Cao Ping smiled and said, "I'm here, Teacher Li Qian, you and your friends can just come over." ”
"Oh! Didn't you say it! Don't call me teacher, call me Qianqian's beauty, haha! Okay, let's meet and talk in the evening!" Li Qian was still straightforward, and simply hung up the phone.
