Chapter 202 The Big Brother in the Northern Song Dynasty
Chapter 202 The Big Brother in the Northern Song Dynasty
At ten o'clock in the morning, the first shot was ready to be shot.
According to the convention of Stars and Sea, the first scene is still a group scene.
The first scene in the opening chapter of "Shaobao" is Luzhou City in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The shooting location was the "Along the River During Qingming Festival" in Hengdian.
This play involved a large number of extras, totaling 300 people, including many folk acrobats.
Those who do somersaults, those who hold up big tanks, those whose chests are broken by rocks...
In short, it depicts the bustling and lively scene of Luzhou City in the Northern Song Dynasty, and also foreshadows the crisis situation later in the plot.
After filming the street scene group scene, the first leading roles in the opening scene were Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng.
A gentle and elegant man with great literary talents was sitting in the attic, studying music, chess, calligraphy and painting with various elegant people.
A giggling and witty person, he joined the people downstairs in judging pigs and deciding cases.
A few simple scenes highlighted the characters of the two protagonists, and at the same time raised the audience's expectations.
This is today’s shooting task. Each of the two protagonists has a scene. After all, it is the first day of filming, so the task is not heavy.
Of course, this is for the lead actors. For the crew, the scheduling of more than 300 people is a big project.
Fan Datian and Liu He started preparing at 6 o'clock in the morning, and the extras were finalized yesterday.
A lot of people signed up, and many even said it was free of charge, just to see Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yanxin said that you really came to the right place. Today you can not only see it, but also act with your idol.
But I'm not sure if I can be found.
The filming soon started, and Jiang Yan walked out of the dressing room with a beard, and then blended into the crowd.
Very good, no one noticed, so he just put the hat on.
Suddenly the world rotated.
...
Northern Song Dynasty, Luzhou City.
"Bao Zheng" was dressed as a scholar and walked on the street with a basket in his hand.
People were coming and going on the street, and the sound of hawking was very lively.
Jiang Yan came here during the Song Dynasty, and the last time he went was during the Southern Song Dynasty.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiang Yan worked as a public official during the day and faked imperial edicts at night to commit murders. Therefore, he had not visited the streets of the Song Dynasty during the day. Now in the Northern Song Dynasty, he finally saw the vivid scene with his own eyes.
But...that's it.
According to the script, the total number of people in Luzhou City is only 30,000. No matter how many people there are in the market, there are not as many as in later generations, and the sanitary conditions are limited, and the products are not that rich.
The only good-looking ones are the jugglers.
A big stone cracked in his chest, which triggered a round of cheers.
Most of the people cheering with frightened expressions, after all, this thing is "defying life".
Then the artist took the gong and started "if you have money, make money".
Jiang Yan took a look and found that this wave of income was actually not high. He consumed a large stone slab and gained ten or twenty copper coins.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were some one-cent coins and some two-cent coins. According to the current purchasing power, this wave of coins was only enough to feed a few people for a day or two, and it might not be enough for slates.
It’s so difficult!
But soon a man in rich clothes threw a handful of copper coins, and they were shiny and new.
Good guy, the top guy on the list is here!
As a result, the enthusiasm of those artists exploded.
"Thank you for the reward, sir. Come and break another one for me..."
Then a group of people hummed and started performing again.
And the people around him also cheered in unison.
Half of it is for artists, after all, they are "risking their lives".
The other half is for the big brother on the list, the rich master, who spends money to let everyone watch it for free, but can’t he croak?
"Boom!"
Then a hammer went down.
The artist under the big rock has a face full of pain.
But he still stood up and clasped his fists: "I'm fine!"
With such a life-threatening attitude, how can the masses not give money?
So the copper coins were thrown over.
And they all hit that person, which is recognition.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
The man took a breath, then painfully took out a dark clay pot and drank a few sips.
Then he suddenly jumped to life.
"Ha~ the magic medicine~"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Then comes the familiar routine.
Artist: "Hundred years of inheritance, hundreds of medicinal materials, understand the applause..."
That's what it means anyway.
After a lot of deception, as expected, the big brother on the list shouted: "Then, how to sell it?"
Artist: "Don't worry, just take a look."
After shouting, another artist suddenly came forward.
"Hey!"
With a muffled groan, the strong man broke his wrist.
The anti-humanity angle made Jiang Yan think it was true.
Then an old man drank the magic medicine and puffed it out.
The strong man with a severed wrist rubbed his wrist, and his painful expression suddenly turned into joy.
alright!
So there was a crash.
The crowd cheered one after another, and the sense of anticipation was officially aroused.
The old man took the opportunity to shout: "I don't want xxx, I just want xxx, take the panacea home!"
The top brother on the list responded promptly: "I want a bottle!"
Then...well, no one went up except him...
The artists were a little embarrassed, but it didn't bother them.
Those who are involved in martial arts always have to have several plans.
So I continued to perform.
But Jiang Yan had already left.
Although this inexplicable sense of familiarity made Jiang Yan very happy.
But he had been attracted by other things.
There was an argument at a stall not far away.
The sesame seed seller and the pig herder got into a fight.
Jiang Yan knew that this was the beginning of the plot.
So he couldn't help but look up, well, it was indeed Ren Quan upstairs, no, Gongsun Ce was pretending to be there.
...
Bao Zheng in "Shao Bao" is actually not that difficult for Jiang Yan to play.
Just grasp the two states.
He was funny when no one was dead, quarreled with Gongsun Ce, bullied the little bald Zhan Zhao, and behaved childishly.
When a person dies, a case is being investigated, or when a major right or wrong is encountered, one must be serious, upright, and argue with reason.
The key point is that there are not many emotional scenes between men and women, and some are just about family and country.
Combined with Jiang Yan's "lens sense", "actor body", "expressive eyes" and other skills.
Therefore, according to Jiang Yan's current level, he can act very well even without a permanent role, and he can even give the TV series the effect of a big-screen performance, and compete with the Eight Wise King Chen Daomin in terms of acting skills.
But considering that this is the first TV series after all, and TV series are different from the big screen.
Although it is not as high-end as the big screen, the TV series is closer to the masses, so Jiang Yan feels that he still needs a permanent role.
Of course, the most important thing is that the overall shooting time of "Shaobao" is expected to be three months, including the Spring Festival in the middle, which means it will not be completed until mid-April.
During this period, Jiang Yan also had to release a new album and go to the United States to attend the Oscar Awards. It can be said that the schedule is quite full.
It will be much easier to have a permanent role and you can maintain your acting skills.
