The actor who plays Lin Zhennan in "Swordsman" is called Li Zhengping. He has been in the industry for many years and has not gained much fame, but his acting skills are great.
Ding Xiu and his scene were originally in the morning, but were moved to the afternoon because of Shao Bin, while the other people's afternoon scenes were completely canceled due to lighting issues and 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 bright sunny day. The scene couldn't be shot on a cloudy day. It was too early in the morning and the sunlight was soft and couldn't be shot, and the sun set in the afternoon.
Don't underestimate it, it just takes up half a day in filming time, but in serious terms, 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 or not.
In the afternoon, Ding Xiu was stopped by Huang Jianzhong after filming.
He didn't have many scenes, not even half as the male lead. The two scenes in the afternoon were not difficult at all. Half of them were martial arts actions, which was easy for him.
"The crew is working overtime in the evening, and your scene with Miao Yida the day after tomorrow has been moved up. Is that okay?"
The day after tomorrow's scene is about visiting the Lin family's old house at night to look for 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 little transparent, and their pay is not high. They can continue to stay on the set if they make 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 should come here early in the evening to put on your makeup. The 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 a little bit worse. 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, I still paid by mistake.
In the evening, eleven o'clock.
"Card!"
"Card!"
"As an actor, pay attention to your emotions and be a little more irritable. You have been looking through it for so long and there are no clues. It's time for you to get anxious."
"Ding Xiu, although in real life you are neither impatient nor impatient, and are as steady as an old dog, this is acting, so don't bring you into it."
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 Jianghu air about him.
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, the scene was finally over. Huang Jianzhong was sweating profusely during the filming and almost swallowed 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 exactly.
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 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 filial piety, he gained a better understanding of acting.
In the hotel, everyone goes back to their own 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 play opposite roles need to review the roles 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 each other.
Acting aside, at least during the filming process Ding Xiu didn't mess up because he forgot his lines. Even if it was just one word, whatever was written in the script was what he said.
…
With the lessons 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 continuously.
"I asked you to practice martial arts but you didn't practice. Now you can't even turn around and land on the ground... Is this the Huashan sword technique? The swordsmanship with lingering eyebrows, right... No woman can fight well."
Yuan Bing had 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 became tense and 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.
"Card!"
"The stand-in left, Shao Bin took over, and the camera gave a close-up."
"a!"
"What, sword practice?"
"I promised you that as soon as I'm good, 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 Master Brother, have all your injuries healed?"
"Of course I'm healed. 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 you..."
Miao Yi's line said that he paused for a moment, got 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 not happy anymore 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 on your face."
"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 are alone, the whole team has to start all over again."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Miao Yi was almost in 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, a!"
The scene was planned 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 stand-ins 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."
