Chapter 161 Wei Yang: I seem to have been raped...
The filming progress of "Eastern Palace" is neither fast nor slow. The time is mainly lost in the setting, big scene scheduling and Nazha.
Although Wei Yang's requirements for him were not particularly high, they still had to be above the standard. If the requirements were not met, he would shoot again.
However, the first half of "East Palace" is also the sweetest plot in the whole drama and the most lovable plot for the heroine. The relationship is very important, so Naza cannot neglect it at all and must give his best to perform the nine princesses of Xizhou that Wei Yanghe and the director want.
"East Palace" has a total of 50 episodes, of which the plot in Xizhou is about 10 episodes. Since there are many scenes, the filming time is expected to be one month.
The time was still a bit tight, and he also said that although Nazha could be given a certain amount of time to reshoot, she was not allowed to do it unscrupulously.
Now because of her, the progress of the crew has actually begun to be delayed, but fortunately it is not serious, and Wei Yang has suppressed it. But if this continues, and further affects the filming arrangements of the entire crew and even the transition, it will not be a trivial matter.
Yao is heartless and has thick nerves, and he also knows the seriousness of the problem.
During this period of time, in addition to eating, sleeping and filming, I studied with the teachers invited by the crew every day, trying to be less NG during the filming, and to avoid scolding Wei Yang and the director.
"For expressions, just practice your expressions in front of the mirror. Don't be shy. Yes, tighten the corners of your mouth, your eyes should be affectionate, and look at the camera mistyly..."
The acting teacher who guided Naza was a man in his thirties, with a stubble, but a very kind-looking appearance, with a bit of a bookish air.
If in Wei Yang's eyes, he always smells like selling fish, it is Zhang Songwen who later became popular with "Kurdant".
However, Zhang Songwen was not well-known at this time, even in the industry. His reputation as a technical performance director was greater than that of an actor.
Zhang Songwen was recommended by Wei Yang, who previously ran an acting training school, and he had already participated in the direction of many films.
Moreover, Zhang Songwen is not a comprehensive professor for art exam training. He is better at on-site surprises, one-on-one training, and helping actors understand their roles thoroughly, so he was recommended here.
Right now "East Palace" is filming in full swing, and normal step-by-step teaching is not enough. This kind of teacher is needed to guide newcomers Naza and Rouba.
It's just that because Nazha's role is more important and critical, it involves most of Zhang Songwen's energy.
After giving instructions for a few paragraphs in a row, Zhang Songwen stopped. He taught too much and couldn't remember it. He asked Nazha to practice by himself, and then he corrected it next to him.
Rouba didn't play, so he watched and learned from the side. Although the roles were different, many of the skills were universal, and you would earn money if you learned them.
A few people were practicing when they saw Wei Yang coming in holding his arm, changing clothes and applying safflower oil with the help of two other staff members.
"What's going on?"
"It's okay. I just injured myself during a scene. It's windy outside. Come in and apply some medicine."
Wei Yang moved his arms slightly and frowned, feeling a little depressed. Zhang Songwen was very enthusiastic and came over to take a look and nodded.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, but maybe the warm-up didn't turn on?"
"I was warming up before, but I guess the interval was too long and I didn't take it seriously, so I got a strain."
After saying that, Wei Yang also looked at Naza and Rouba and reminded them: "You should be careful when you go back to shoot action scenes and learn from my lesson."
Rouba smiled: "Boss, you forgot that we practiced dancing."
For them, their body's flexibility and ability to withstand pressure are much stronger than those of normal people, and warming up has become an instinctive habit, without the need for Wei Yang to remind them.
"Yeah, I'll tell you for nothing."
Wei Yang smiled bitterly, how could he meet such an actor with a background in dance? The action scenes were crushed, so it would be better to film "My Love from the Star", just make gestures, and leave the rest to special effects.
"Okay, I'll come over and apply some medicine. I won't delay you guys. You can come on."
Wei Yang got the medicine and was about to leave, but Rouba stopped him: "You were just injured, why don't you take a rest."
"It's okay. We've almost finished shooting the fighting scenes. They're all literary scenes. I just need to move less, so it doesn't affect the shooting."
Wei Yang is not that squeamish, and a minor injury of this magnitude will not stop work. Nazha's filming is already slow enough. If he takes a rest, the crew of "East Palace" will stop working.
Scenes, props, and labor are all money. If the crew takes a day off, hundreds of thousands will be wasted.
This is all Boss Wei’s own money!
Just as he walked to the door, Wei Yang suddenly remembered something and looked at Zhang Songwen: "Teacher Zhang, didn't I accept your role before? But now there is a shortage of Prince Danchi, the heroine's cousin. He doesn't have many roles. Look,
…”
"no problem."
Zhang Songwen doesn't choose roles. As long as he can show his face in acting and not be completely reduced to a behind-the-scenes person, it's good for him.
"I know Teacher Zhang's ability, but you joined the team too late and many roles have already been decided."
Wei Yang smiled and took the initiative to make a cake: "If you put more effort into this drama, the main thing is to help them two more. We will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Zhang Songwen could feel that Wei Yang was not trying to deal with him, and he felt warm in his heart: "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, I will teach them both well."
Sometimes the entertainment industry is like this. Although there are many twists and turns in all aspects, there are also Bole who are truly willing to support talents.
If you have done your job well and done well, if someone sees your ability, they will still be willing to give it a chance.
Zhang Songwen serves as a performance director. On the one hand, he wants to make a living and get more income. On the other hand, he also wants to use this opportunity to show his abilities and be valued by noble people.
In the past, he had fallen into the eyes of Lou Ye and Guan Hu and won relevant roles. Now he has been spotted by Wei Yang again, and this is another rare opportunity.
Even to Zhang Songwen, Wei Yang's consideration is more valuable than the first two.
After all, although the first two are considered well-known directors in the industry, they have limited projects at hand, and sometimes their words may not always work. Although Wei Yang is young, he is the boss of a good-sized film and television company, with many projects, and he can decide them with one word.
"What a hard work."
Wei Yang patted Zhang Songwen on the shoulder, encouraged him, and turned to leave.
At present, Blue Whale has no shortage of young female artists in the short term, and male artists are barely enough. What is really lacking are some capable actors and golden supporting roles.
Zhang Songwen has good acting skills, a stable personality, and is not picky about roles. He is also a multi-functional talent who can act, direct, and be a teacher. If he can be recruited under his command, he will be a good complement to Blue Whale.
"Congratulations to Teacher Zhang."
Rouba seemed to have noticed something and congratulated them. Naza was stunned for a moment and followed suit. Zhang Songwen smiled and continued to guide their performances.
…
In late March, the crew of "East Palace" entered the second half of filming in Dunhuang.
Today is the first official kiss scene between the man and woman after they had their love affair.
After discussion with the crew of "Eastern Palace", although this scene was actually shot in an ancient tree, it was surrounded by a green screen so that some special effects, such as fireflies and the like, could be added later.
The effect is not good during the day, so you have to wait until night, because you have to adjust the lights and work until eight o'clock before you can start shooting.
Today's scene is quite important. When the male and female protagonists first met, the female protagonist rescued the male protagonist, and the male protagonist promised to fulfill the female protagonist's three wishes.
After a period of getting along and sharing life and death, the male and female protagonists fell in love with each other and even began to discuss marriage. Once in the wild beside an ancient tree, the female protagonist saw the beautiful fireflies around her and used one of her wishes to ask the male protagonist to catch fireflies for the female protagonist.
The male protagonist used Qinggong to catch the female protagonist, making her happy, smiling and charming, and couldn't help but kiss her.
The scenes and clips are still very beautiful and romantic, with ancient trees in the dark, flickering fireflies, red clothes under the moon, and a kiss sealing the love. The atmosphere is sweet enough to pave the way for the abuse that follows.
Since Wei Yang's debut, he hasn't filmed many kissing scenes, so he can't be said to be experienced, but he's not a novice either. He's calm as usual. Instead, he's more discussing with the director and photographer how to structure the shots.
It was Nazha's first serious kissing scene, so she was inevitably a little nervous, but of course she was more excited.
This is a kiss scene!
Rounding it up is equivalent to kissing the boss, rounding it up again is equivalent to umming with the boss, and rounding it up again, she is the boss's wife.
While waiting for the venue, Nazha's cheeks were red, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He always lowered his head and snickered a few words, which made Rouba who came to watch the excitement very helpless.
"Sister, please restrain yourself, there are so many people here."
After Nazha heard this, he calmed down a little, but soon the smile appeared on his face again: "No, I can't help it."
Rouba: "..."
Fortunately, Zhang Songwen was not taught in vain these days. The two of them quickly thought of a way to divert their attention, which somewhat relieved their mood.
When the recorder called to start filming, the emotions that Naza had suppressed and transferred emerged again, but she had no time to adjust, so she could only breathe a sigh of relief.
"How about it, it doesn't taste like anything."
"I brushed my teeth twice and ate half a bottle of chewing gum. The smell is still weird."
Rouba pushed Naza over, and then looked with some jealousy at the scene where Wei Yang asked Naza to position himself for the scene.
The kissing scene didn't start directly. There were other scenes before it. The filming lasted until almost early in the morning when it was finally the kissing scene's turn.
Naza was dressed in red and had a few fur coats on her body. She looked cute and cute. She happily stretched out her hand to look at the fireflies in the sky. Her eyes were bright and the beauty of the country was heavenly.
Wei Yang stared at her blankly, his eyes reflecting her figure, his Adam's apple twitching unconsciously, he slowly came closer, lowered his head and kissed her.
As a result, as soon as the two of them kissed, the director of the monitor shouted directly to Ka: "Nazha, don't laugh."
"Do it again."
Wei Yang was used to it. He and Naza had been filming scenes for such a long time, and only a handful of them could be replayed.
But when the filming started again, Nazar couldn't help but laugh. It didn't sound like a scene of laughter, but more like happiness after getting what he wanted.
This smile obviously did not fit the scene in the play, so it had to be re-shot.
However, Nazar either couldn't hold back his laughter or made a mistake in cooperating. Twice, he even tried to kiss first. As a result, the scene that was originally just a simple kiss had to go through more than 20 times before it was passed. Just the lips.
I replenished the oil four times.
After filming the kiss scene, Naza still felt a little unfinished. Wei Yang tugged on his collar, feeling as if he had been raped...
