On July 15th, at the Wuxi Film and Television City, the crew of "Swordsman" started shooting. The two directors, a group of leading actors, some staff, and Zhang Jizhong, hundreds of people attended the opening ceremony.
The predecessor of the film and television industry was the Liyuan. In the old days, actors in the Liyuan played dead historical figures. Before going on stage, they would burn incense and worship the gods to express their disrespect and pray for a smooth performance.
As it develops today, the power-on ceremony has become more and more complicated. The timing and location are very particular, and there are some horoscopes that cannot be present at the scene.
As an old-school director, Zhang Jizhong also believed in this idea. He had several rectangular tables prepared early, covered with red velvet cloth, and statues of Emperor Guan were placed on them. In front of the statues were roasted pig heads and fruit plates, with red candles on both sides.
The crew brought a camera, which was covered with a red cloth. After everyone lined up to burn incense, Zhang Jizhong unveiled it and shouted "Good luck to start the camera" and the entire process was completed.
A few minutes later, Zhang Jizhong and Huang Jianzhong Yuanbing finished offering incense, and Shao Bin, the male lead, came forward, followed by female lead, male second, female second, male third... Ding Xiu was the male lead, so he could only follow Xu.
Love behind the ass.
"I wish the Swordsman crew a happy start!"
Amidst the roar of firecrackers, Zhang Jizhong unveiled the red cloth of the camera, and the crew's start-up ceremony was completed.
Everyone who participated in the startup ceremony received a red envelope worth 128 yuan from Zhang Jizhong. With the red envelope, Miao Yi winked at Ding Xiu.
"A date tonight?"
Ding Xiu nodded heavily: "Yue, this time I will squeeze you dry."
Chen Lifeng rolled her eyes: "What about playing mahjong? It sounds like having an affair."
I practiced martial arts in the morning, read scripts in the afternoon, and relaxed in the evening. I don’t know who started it, so I arranged to play mahjong.
Ding Xiu didn't know how to play at first, he always lost money, and he was very addicted to the game. The two of them liked playing with him the most, and they often played until late at night.
However, his skills have begun to improve recently, and she and Miao Yi are gradually unable to hold on.
"We're still having fun when filming officially starts tomorrow." Hearing what they said, Yuan Bing said seriously: "The martial arts movements are all integrated? Do you know all the lines by heart? The performances are all meticulous?"
"The ugly words come first. If anyone's filming progress is slow due to too many NGs, don't blame me for swearing."
Miao Yi looked depressed and felt a little regretful about this month's pocket money, while Chen Lifeng touched her bald head and smiled bitterly.
She plays the role of Yilin, a nun from the Hengshan sect. She had all her black hair shaved off a few days ago, but now the wind blows over her head and it feels cool.
In order to compensate for the sacrifice she made, Zhang Jizhong specifically increased her salary.
Not many actresses are willing to shave their heads for filming these days. It takes several years to grow long hair. If you shave your head once, you won't be able to get urban dramas in the next few years.
The director immediately backed down when he saw your image.
Costume dramas are okay, at least you can wear a headgear, but wearing a headgear in urban dramas is unnatural and looks fake.
Hooking Ding Xiu's shoulders, Yuan Bing pulled him aside and whispered: "You're not a skilled kid, so don't play mahjong. I heard you lost thousands."
"Who started this rumor? There are times when I win." Ding Xiu jumped. He started losing, but recently he has been winning.
Men's four major hobbies are eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. If anyone wants him to stop, he will be in a hurry.
Yuan Bing glanced at him: "Okay, I don't know what you are like yet. You are addicted to food. It is not easy to make money. You can save it to marry a wife in the future."
Ding Xiu shrugged: "How do you know I'm not playing mahjong to get a wife?"
Yuan Bing's eyes lit up: "Okay, you can use the opportunity of playing mahjong to get in touch with Miao Yi and Chen Lifeng. Tell me, who are you chasing?"
"I chased both of them."
"You can't put your eggs in one basket, Gao, have you caught up?"
"I didn't catch up."
"Why?" Yuan Bing was confused.
Ding Xiu's appearance is not to mention, his martial arts skills are high, and he can talk sweetly, so how can he not catch up with girls?
When mentioning this matter, Ding Xiu felt melancholy: "They said I was too carefree."
"It shouldn't be. What did you say then?"
"I asked them if they were sleeping."
Yuan Bing: "..."
"Oh, you should continue playing mahjong."
After his "confession" failed, he still managed to get along with Miao Yi and Chen Lifeng and become good friends. People still didn't hate him. I have to say that he is a talent.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Ding Xiu's mouth: "So I have not hesitated at all to win their money these days."
Yuan Bing gave a thumbs up with mixed feelings: "You are awesome!"
…
At 6:30 in the morning, Xu Qing, Miao Yi and the others had just finished washing and came to the lobby downstairs. Ding Xiu had already returned from running five kilometers.
"morning."
"morning."
"Ding Xiu, are you up so early?"
"I'm used to it. I'll go up and take a shower. I'll see you later."
When he was working as an extra, he got up at 3:30 every day. After arriving on the set of Swordsman, he was still a little uncomfortable. He woke up before dawn, ran a few kilometers, did two sets of boxing, and took a cold shower all day long.
Spirit.
Seven o'clock, Wuxi Film and Television Base, Water Margin.
As soon as Ding Xiu arrived on the set, he went into the dressing room, put on makeup, put on a headgear, and put on ancient costumes. The whole process was completed more than half an hour later.
Even though he came later, Xu Qing and the others didn't even finish putting on their makeup. It takes a little longer for girls to dress up, with one hairstyle taking half an hour.
Throwing the cell phone to the temporary assistant, he took the script and found a little Mazar to sit down and wait for the scene.
He got the notice a week ago.
It contains the work contents for the next few days after starting the filming, including which scene to shoot, the time and location of the shooting, the actors, and the director.
He has a show today, at ten o'clock in the morning, and the first two hours are with the male lead Shao Bin.
The scene scenery has been completed, the assistant director leads the extras to move around, the cameraman adjusts the camera position, and the lighting engineer adjusts the lighting. Everything is in order.
The only male lead Shao Bin was missing.
This scene is on the eve of the Hengshan faction Liu Zhengfeng washes his hands in the golden basin. Tian Boguang is teasing Yi Lin in Hengyang City Restaurant. Linghu Chong cannot stand it and sits on the bench with Tian Boguang to compete in martial arts.
Now Yilin, Tian Boguang, Taoist Tiansong and several others have arrived.
Yuan Bing asked his assistant to call Shao Bin. When he asked Shao Bin, who had just woken up in the hotel, he was so angry that he wanted to curse.
Amidst the bombardment of phone calls, Shao Bin arrived late half an hour later, followed by his assistant doing makeup.
By the time he finished putting on makeup and going to the bathroom, it was already nine o'clock. It was eleven-thirty after filming the scene. It was twelve o'clock when the crew went to "Fuwei Escort Agency" and had just set up the slide rails.
It’s time to eat!
Ding Xiu ate a box lunch with three dishes and one soup. The dishes were simple home-style stir-fries and the soup was three-fresh soup.
"I'm going to lose weight and don't eat fat. I'll give it to you." A pair of fast food fell into the lunch box. Ding Xiu looked up and saw that it was Xu Qing.
"Then I'm welcome."
"Shouldn't you say thank you?"
"If you can't eat, give it to me. I'll help you digest it. It's you who should say thank you."
"Haha, I just like your cheeky attitude and your lack of hypocrisy." Xu Qing took another chicken leg and said, "What you eat will make up for it."
"Is there such a thing? What does chicken drumsticks do for you?"
"What do you think?" The charming Xu Qing smiled. After a few seconds of pause, Ding Xiu gasped, and she said, "Of course it's a leg filler."
I breathed in half of the cold air and spit it out completely, turning it into hot air.
