Chapter 17 The Routine of the Crew
I just finished writing and didn't have time to revise it. I'll read it later, sorry.
…………
The next morning, Zhong Yunqing was woken up by the alarm clock. When he got out of bed, he felt that it was much colder than usual today.
I walked to the window and opened the curtains to take a look. Oh dear, it must have snowed last night. The whole street and roofs were already completely white.
After watching it, today I have to experience what the cast of The Last Sword said in an exclusive interview: the feeling of being so cold that my whole body is numb.
Because in order to strive for authenticity, the crew wore ordinary cotton-padded clothes like those worn by the Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War. They were not warm at all!
As soon as he came out of the shower, he saw Zhang Xiaojun in the next bed turned over and said to him:
"Yun Qing, can I use your computer later?"
When the alarm clock rang, Duan Peng also woke up, but he had no part in the show today. He didn't want to go out on this cold day, so Zhong Yunqing happened to have a computer to kill time.
"Use it, and remember to charge it for me when you're done. I'll come back in the evening to code." The two of them have become very familiar with each other in the past few days, so it's not a big deal to borrow a computer.
"Okay." The other party responded and went on to catch up on his sleep.
After that, Zhong Yunqing put on her down jacket and went out.
After breakfast, we helped the crew carry the filming equipment into the car, and then the crew set off for the small mountain village where the filming took place.
It had also just snowed here, and the shooting location was surrounded by wasteland. The sudden drop in temperature and the whistling wind made it even colder.
As for how cold it gets, people start to "smoke" when they talk, just like the legendary "suffocating clouds".
There were quite a lot of scenes to catch up on today, and everyone immediately got into the intense work before they had time to express their emotions.
The drama staff quickly arranged the shooting scene, and professional teams such as lighting, sound recording, and camera operators also quickly set up camera positions.
Not to mention the actors, who quickly took off their down jackets and put on military uniforms as soon as they arrived. Dozens of extras had already changed into their costumes and were getting ready.
"It's really cold today! Director, hurry up and shoot."
Teacher Li Youbin had just put on his military uniform and saw others who had also put on their clothes and were walking over. He rubbed his hands and breathed into his palms, hoping it would make them warmer.
However, I still couldn't resist the horrible weather, and everyone's face turned blue from the cold.
As for the script, these older generation actors had already memorized their lines by heart before they started acting.
"Okay, thank you all for your hard work. Finish the filming and rest early."
""Bright Sword" Episode 5, Scene 9..."
After the scene notes were written, the filming of this scene began immediately.
The scene to be filmed is Chu Yunfei coming to the independent group to observe and learn, with Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong accompanying him. As the group leader and guard, Zhong Yunqing naturally shares the same frame with the three leading actors.
First, a clip was filmed of watching the Eighth Route Army practice their machete skills, and then Zhong Yunqing kicked down the earth wall. The earth wall was not strong, but it still required a lot of force to successfully kick it down.
"Xiao Zhong, it's time to show off your real skills. Let us guys see our real skills." Director Li made a joke to Zhong Yunqing from behind the camera.
In fact, how could his three-legged cat kung fu escape the eyes of these directors? However, this drama does not have many opportunities to show real kung fu, so he was not held accountable for deception.
After all, what he originally asked Zhong Yunqing was "Do you know how to do some kung fu?"
The three-legged cat is also a little bit different, and it can't be said to be deceptive.
"Director, look at it!" Zhong Yunqing also knew that Director Li was joking, so he responded without blushing or out of breath.
This shot was indeed not difficult for him, who was so tall and powerful, and it collapsed as soon as he kicked the edge.
Then the extras started shouting as instructed:
"well".
"What's good!" The camera panned to He Zhengjun. He pointed at the collapsed wall and said to Zhong Yunqing:
"This is damage to public property. Inform the security platoon and we will build a new wall for the fellow villagers later!"
At the end, he added: "Be firm!"
Zhong Yunqing immediately changed from joyful to depressed.
"Okay, this scene is over. Let's move on to the next scene." Director Li shouted, and then the extras stepped aside, leaving only the three leading actors and Zhong Yunqing in the shot.
Next is a dialogue scene. Chu Yunfei showed off his marksmanship, and then gave Li Yunlong one of the pistols. Then came the old actor's show:
"Brother Chu wants to give it away, why not give me the male one? I don't want the female one!"
"Brother Yunlong, what do you mean? Please clarify."
"You Tangtang man carries a female gun, and if word spreads about it, it will make people laugh... Haha!"
As soon as Li Yunlong's laughter fell, Zhang Guangbei next to him burst into laughter.
Not to mention, a connoisseur can tell if there is one as soon as he reaches out. Not to mention the expressions and tone changes of several people in the lines, just Chu Yunfei's laughter alone, ordinary actors really can't achieve this effect.
At least Zhong Yunqing standing next to him has self-awareness, which he definitely cannot achieve.
"Card!"
Zhong Yunqing was secretly admiring the old actor's "skill" when Director Li's voice came over:
"Xiao Zhong, don't just stand there stupidly. At this time, when you look at Chu Yunfei's gun, you should show an envious expression like you would when you see a good gun."
Forehead……
This was the first time he had been harassed in the past few days since he came to the crew. In such a cold weather, he, a newcomer, had affected several great masters. Of course, he was extremely embarrassed and apologized quickly:
"I'm sorry, director, and I'm sorry to all the teachers."
Several of the people present were old-timers, and they didn't have grudges all over again. They all smiled and waved to him, saying it didn't matter.
Zhong Yunqing's acting skills are of course far inferior to those of his predecessors who have been in the industry for many years. But they are still at a normal level. The second filming went much smoother.
He won't be in the next scene, but the work will end later today. According to the shooting plan, after the scene is shot in the afternoon, a night scene will be shot.
That is to say, it was a scene where a Japanese officer celebrated his birthday, and then Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei went to the county town to have a banquet and kill the Japanese.
But when it comes to filming this kind of eating scene, in fact, the food in many film and television dramas are props.
The next scene to be filmed in "Bright Sword" is no exception!
But it’s not all true. Except for the protagonist’s table, which is real, the other tables are all props. Only the things on their table are real.
Not to mention, even though filming an eating scene is simple, there is actually a lot of knowledge involved in it.
Basically, what is shown to you in movies and TV dramas is the distant view, so most of them are props. After all, if you hire a chef to prepare such a table of meals just for filming a scene, it will definitely cost a lot.
And sometimes the crew takes many scenes to shoot such a scene, so how much does it cost for the entire crew to eat. In addition, if real dishes are used, the color will change over time when the filming takes a long time. There are still many ways to do this.
of.
So sometimes you will find that there is a table of food, but the actors only eat peanuts, because everything else is fake and props. However, some crews use real food, such as the well-known classic
TV series "Wulin Gaiden". At that time, lunch on the set was the main meal for the actors, and they would eat directly after filming.
Now that we have talked about whether the food in movies and TV series is real or fake, do the actors really eat it or fake it in the end? Yang Zi in "Ode to Joy" eats it for real. Whether it is cake or chocolate, she stuffs her mouth full.
, and therefore became the most popular actress on screen after Zhao Liying.
In "In the Name of the People", Hou Liangping went to Director Zhao's home to investigate and collect evidence. The scene where Director Zhao calmly eats fried noodles is also very classic. It is said that the actor Hou Yong ate more than a kilogram in order to film this scene.
Noodle.
There are also options to fake food. After all, sometimes a scene is filmed with more than a dozen scenes. No matter how big the real food is, the stomach may not be able to fit it, or the actors need to maintain their figure and cannot eat those things. There are generally two methods for filming fake food. One is
One is to take food into the mouth but not swallow it, and the other is to pretend to chew something while dislocating it.
But speaking of the originator of fake eating, it has to be said to be the sketch "Eating Noodles" performed by Chen Peisi on the Spring Festival Gala. An empty bowl means that the food is delicious.
