Chapter 16 Playing a big role
The actor who plays Lin Zhennan in "Swordsman" is called Li Zhengping. He has not been famous for many years since his debut, but he has great acting skills.
Ding Xiu and his scene were originally in the morning, but because of Shao Bin, they were moved to the afternoon, while the other people's afternoon scenes were completely canceled. Due to the lighting, they could only wait until tomorrow.
The time set for each scene is not random, the big factors are weather and time.
For example, the scene of Ding Xiu's Fuwei Escort Agency was shot in the afternoon on a sunny day. It couldn't be shot on a cloudy day. It was too early in the morning and the sun was soft and couldn't be shot, and it couldn't be shot in the afternoon when the sun set.
Don't underestimate it, it just takes up half a day of filming time, but if it's serious, it affects your whole body.
The time for big-name actors to sign contracts is limited. Once the time is up, they will leave immediately, regardless of whether you can finish the filming.
In the afternoon, Ding Xiu was stopped by Huang Jianzhong after filming.
He doesn't have many scenes, not even half of the male lead. The two scenes in the afternoon are not difficult at all. Half of them are martial arts actions, which is easy for him.
"The crew is working overtime in the evening, and your and Miao Yi's scenes the day after tomorrow will be moved up. Is that okay?"
The play the day after tomorrow is to visit the Lin family's old house at night to find the sword manual to ward off evil spirits.
Because of Shao Bin, the director had to move Ding Xiu's scenes over the next few days to give Xu Qing time to shoot.
Ding Xiu and Miao Yi are transparent, and their remuneration is not high. They can still stay on the set if they make up extra money beyond the contract time. Xu Qing and Shao Bin are different. They earn an average of tens of thousands of yuan a day. It all depends on whether they are willing. .
"No problem, I know all the lines." Ding Xiu nodded in agreement.
"I've informed Miao Yi that you guys should come here early in the evening to put on your makeup. Filming will start at eight o'clock. Try to go back to bed before ten o'clock."
There was nothing to say about Ding Xiu's martial arts drama, which was all one-step, and his literary drama was probably about the same. He thought that there were only two short scenes, and two hours would be enough.
Going to bed at ten o'clock was his expectation.
But in the end, the payment was made by mistake.
Evening, eleven o'clock.
"Click!"
"Click!"
"Actors should pay attention to their emotions and be a little more irritable. After searching for so long and there are no clues, you should be anxious."
"Ding Xiu, although you are not impatient or impatient in real life and are as steady as an old dog, this is acting. Don't bring you in."
The most taboo thing about acting is to act yourself. Some actors are so personal that you feel like themselves in every scene you watch.
There was a time when Liu Dehua was like this, acting like Liu Dehua in every role.
Does Ding Xiu have a personal character? There is no doubt about it, and he is very serious. He is carefree, playing in the world, and has a sense of being a gangster.
This charlatanism is very consistent with the later Lin Pingzhi, but it does not match or even conflicts with the early rich man Lin Pingzhi, who grew up with a golden key in his mouth.
After narrating the scene to Ding Xiu more than ten times in more than ten chapters of NG, the scene was finally over. Huang Jianzhong was sweating profusely during the filming, and almost took Suxiao Jiuxin Pills during the filming.
It was so tiring to film Ding Xiu’s drama.
I raised my watch and saw it was twelve o'clock.
Made, the two short scenes took four hours to shoot.
In the dressing room, Ding Xiu is still removing makeup, while Miao Yi has already changed clothes. It takes time for girls to put on their clothes, but removing makeup is much faster, while boys have to take off their headgear slowly.
On the way back, the two of them were sitting in the same car. In the back seat, Miao Yi couldn't stop yawning.
"Xiao Linzi, have you remembered all the key points that the director said today? Go back and take notes and think more. It will be of great help to your acting."
"I know." Ding Xiu leaned on her shoulder, his eyelids drooping listlessly.
Literary opera does not require physical action, but it is more tiring than physical action. He does more than a dozen NGs in a row. Let alone the director who wants to hit someone, he wants to hit the director.
In two lifetimes, he has not been denied as many times as he is today.
However, in the director's roar, he gained a better understanding of acting.
In the hotel, everyone goes back to their rooms.
Looking at Ding Xiu's back, Huang Jianzhong smiled and shook his head. In fact, Ding Xiu's performance was pretty good, at least among the newcomers.
Why do we need to make announcements several days in advance during filming? One is to give the crew time to prepare, and the other is to give the actors time to prepare.
Actors who have a rival role need to review the role and lyrics in advance to get to know each other and find a feel for each other.
This scene was done at short notice, so Ding Xiu and Miao Yi didn't have time to play against each other.
Acting aside, at least during the filming process Ding Xiu did not miss a line because he forgot it. Even if it was just one word, whatever was written in the script was what he said.
…
With the lesson learned on the first day, Yuan Bing had someone call Shao Bin early every morning in the following days. Despite the prompting, he was only late once. That time he overslept at noon and turned off his cell phone to call. Doesn’t make sense.
However, something went wrong on the tenth day after filming started. Shao Bin was filming a scene with Miao Yi in Siguoya, and a sword practice scene went NG.
"I asked you to practice martial arts but you didn't do it. Now you can't even turn around and land on the ground... Is this the Huashan sword technique? The sword moves with a lingering eyebrow, right... No woman can fight well."
Yuan Bing has very high requirements for martial arts scenes. He didn't want to see Shao Bin in the first place, but now he showed no mercy and spoke a little more angrily.
Unexpectedly, Shao Bin retorted directly, saying that he had no problem fighting. The two sides were at war with each other and were full of gunpowder.
In the end, Huang Jianzhong came out to smooth things over, and after some discussion, he asked Wu Xing to step in and help Shao Bin complete these sets of movements.
"Click!"
"The substitute left, Shao Bin took over, and the camera gave a close-up."
"action!"
"What, sword practice?"
"I promised you that as soon as I'm ready, I'll come out and practice swordsmanship with you."
"Okay, I haven't practiced Spirit Rushing Sword Technique for a long time since you left, but Senior Brother, have your injuries healed?"
"Of course I've recovered. Do you think that Senior Brother is not afraid of being beaten to the ground by you... Let Senior Brother see if you have deteriorated after not practicing swordsmanship for so long."
"I will step back, please take care of yourself..."
Miao Yi's line said that he paused for a moment, felt a little stuck, and needed NG.
There is nothing wrong with filming. Laughing, getting stuck, and being sarcastic are all common occurrences. We didn’t think much about it. The director just called for reshoots after the scene got stuck.
However, Shao Bin was unhappy and said with a straight face: "You can't even say in such a simple word whether you know how to act. Are you serious? You still have a playful smile."
"Brother Shao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Miao Yi apologized.
"What's the use of being sorry? Do you know how much time you've wasted? Because you're alone, the whole team has to do it all over again."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Miao Yi almost burst into tears.
"If you make this common sense mistake again, I won't give in to you. I will get off work at that time."
"Make up and touch up."
“Every department is in its place.”
"Scene 125, first shot, action!"
The scene was arranged and filming resumed. This time Miao Yi made no mistakes, but his condition was obviously not as good as the previous one. Yuan Bing frowned frequently and did not shout NG, so he made do with it.
After the lines are finished, the two still have a short sword fight. Most of the action doubles have been completed, and some of the actions here are relatively simple.
After glancing in the direction of Yuan Bing, Shao Bin increased his strength as if he was angry when the two swords collided.
"boom!"
The sudden force caused Miao Yijian to let go of his hand and let out a subconscious sigh.
"What's going on! Do you need to use so much force?" In front of the monitor, Yuan Bing slapped his headphones on the table, stood up and shouted.
Shao Bin shrugged and curled his lips: "Director, it's not because you said I didn't have the strength that I increased my intensity. It's exactly according to your request."
