I just finished writing. I will correct some typos and wrong sentences first. You can read it again tomorrow morning. Please forgive me.
…………
After the opening ceremony, Sisi brought Zhang Jianing and Mao Xiaotong, who were also in the same frame, into her dressing room.
Although these two girls are extras, they also have special care from Zhong Yunqing, and their costumes are much more gorgeous than other extras.
Zhong Yunqing is now a very subtle existence to the people of Tang Dynasty. Many people know about the gambling agreement between him and Boss Cai. After all, secret gossip spreads very quickly in the workplace.
So for the Tang people, if Zhong Yunqing wins, he will be the boss. Even if he loses, with his popularity in the entertainment industry and online novels, he is at least the number one brother in the company who is as good as Hu Ge. So up to the director
Down to the ordinary staff, everyone has a very positive attitude toward him.
So when Mao Xiaotong and Zhang Jianing have been coming and going freely in Tang Dynasty these days, the crew naturally loves Wu Jiwu and gives them makeup according to the treatment of female supporting roles.
Da Te enjoys the treatment of a supporting role. This is the benefit of having "someone on top".
“I finally have the opportunity to appear in such a beautiful costume, I’m so happy!”
Zhang Jianing put on her own clothes and turned around in front of the large makeup mirror with a smile on her face. Apparently she was quite satisfied with her tulle dress.
The same goes for Mao Xiaotong. She and Zhang Jianing wear the same style but different colors, and they look like besties.
When Sisi saw how easily these two girls were intoxicated by their "beauty", she rolled her eyes cunningly. Although she was trying to bluff them, she said seriously:
"Don't be too happy, you two. Let me tell you, Lao Zhong secretly told me before that the two sets of skirts you are wearing were rented by him from a good antique store with his own money..."
"Huh? Is that so?"
Sure enough, her words drew the attention of the two girls back. They looked at Sisi together, waiting for her next words.
Sisi naturally continued to fool around and said:
"Of course. Otherwise, you would think that Lao Cai is so easy to talk to! These two sets of dresses are very expensive. The rent alone is more than 2,000! Lao Zhong said that they will be deducted from your special salary after the filming is over!"
"Ah! If it's so expensive, wouldn't our work have been in vain during this time!"
At first, the two girls were a little bit convinced, but when they turned around, they saw Sisi covering her mouth and snickering.
"Okay! Liu Sisi, you can now lie to people and talk nonsense seriously! You don't even have to make a draft!"
Then the two girls pounced on her together, tickling her on the left and right.
A few girls were playing around and didn't notice Zhong Yunqing wandering in from outside.
Although he is not from the Condor Shooting crew, his status in Tang Dynasty is a bit special after all, and as the boyfriend of the female lead, it seems reasonable for him to come to "visit the cast". Naturally, no one will ask for trouble to stop him
no.
So when Zhong Yunqing came into the dressing room, she saw that Sisi had already put on the beggar uniform. Moreover, the crew took good care of her. Although the beggar costume designed looked full of patches and tatters, it still had a touch of beauty.
Zhang Jianing and Mao Xiaotong, who were standing next to her, looked equally elegant and refined after wearing special edition costumes.
The two of them would leave the country in the clothes of a rich family, even if it was a backdrop. In the famous scene where Huang Rong appeared, there was a close-up of the bondage behind Sisi for more than ten seconds.
It was enough to attract the attention of a few viewers after the scene was aired. After all, Zhang Jianing and Mao Xiaotong also have very elegant and refined looks.
Zhong Yunqing persuaded Boss Cai to let them have more scenes this time out of his own selfish motives. He also intended to train them. Therefore, the matching of clothes will naturally distinguish them from other extras.
Otherwise, if you stand next to Sisi for a while, you will be suppressed, and you will not be able to achieve the purpose of standing next to the heroine and talking about "luck" in detail.
The purpose of this was not to let these two girls take away Sisi's popularity, but he knew that Zhang Jianing and Mao Xiaotong's career as actors after graduation was actually not smooth, and they had always played small supporting roles with almost no presence.
After he takes over the Tang Dynasty, he can sign some with acting skills and good looks, rather than just vases. In the Tang Dynasty he controls, other than Sisi, no other vases are allowed to exist!
But there is no need to talk about these things now. In the future, when his influence is enough and several girls have succeeded in their studies, he can carefully discuss with them about signing with Tangren.
After thinking about this, Zhong Yunqing walked behind Sisi and looked at her little beggar dress in the mirror. The makeup artist had just helped Sisi get dressed for the filming, and when she saw Sisi's boyfriend coming in, she didn't have any objections. Yes.
He nodded and went out first.
"Sisi, do you think that this little beggar's costume seems to be lacking in spirit?"
"I studied the script carefully. Huang Rong is the daughter of Peach Blossom Island. There is no need to act like a real little beggar, right?"
Well, the girl has really made a lot of progress in the past six months since she went to China Drama. She knows how to analyze the script before filming.
Although she only filmed one scene today, Sisi was still very dedicated. She spent two nights in the magic city and asked Zhong Yunqing to tutor her to complete her homework for the role. Because she had never watched The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
I had read Zhu Yin's version of the novel before, but I had forgotten it after a long time.
Even though today's shooting was only a short section, thinking about how as an actor, Sisi was influenced by Zhong Yunqing, she still thought that she should step out of her comfort zone and figure out the story line, character relationships, character's life experience, psychological state, etc. of the entire script.
Only in this way can we better integrate into the role of "Huang Rong".
Although Sisi worked hard to get a good shot, Zhong Yunqing still knew her overall strength. Although she has improved her performance now, her acting skills have also improved significantly compared to her previous life, and she can film characters well without making a scene.
"You are wrong to think so. You need to put something more on your face."
…………
"Script analysis requires us to understand the cause and effect. Why Huang Rong plays the role of a little beggar here, just to make her father angry. At this time in the novel, Huang Rong is just a teenage girl, and her temperament is still very immature. Although she is a bit weird,
But she still has the character of a little girl.”
"Therefore, when analyzing the script based on the plot, you cannot lead people rigidly. This will not only fail to accurately grasp the character's personality, but will also lead to misjudgment and poor performance. And if the director talks to you about the character,
You are fully prepared, which allows the director to see your efforts for the character; it also allows you to adjust your state in time, enter the character's state, and integrate yourself with the character."
"Hmph╯^╰, you are trying to fool me with lies every day, I won't be fooled by you!"
After saying that, Sisi looked at Zhong Yunqing with disgust, then turned back to the two girls on the other side and shouted:
"Jianing, Xiaotong, please help me get him out! Don't let this guy enter our dressing room again!"
…………
Half an hour later, the little beggar version of Huang Rong was ready to start filming. But before that, Sisi was called over by the assistant director to familiarize herself with the route. Because the plot was changed by Zhong Yunqing, the scene was changed from stealing the wallet to tease Guo Jing to stealing.
Baozi. Naturally, Huang Rong’s running route must be planned in advance.
The half-hour familiarization process naturally attracted the attention of many tourists.
When the tourists learned that this crew was the Condor Shooting Crew of the Tang Dynasty, and that Huang Rong and Guo Jing were Lao Hu and Sisi, a combination of handsome men and beautiful women, it became even more attractive to young tourists. So these people were curious, and not far away
Stop and watch the filming process.
When there are popular celebrities on the set, it is normal for them to be watched during the filming process. The staff of the set are already used to it.
Director Li saw that it was almost time and the actors were already ready. Without saying anything more, Director Li walked over to Lao Hu and Sisi who were reading the script and said:
"Sisi, let's try out the scene first. Once you take Baozi's movements, you will follow the route you just rehearsed. Do you understand?"
Sisi had already memorized the route. She nodded and responded:
"Okay, I know the director."
"Okay, all departments are ready..."
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Episode 5, Scene 11..."
After the scoreboard was finished, Sisi was dressed in a tattered beggar's outfit and a small patched hat on her head. She was holding two steaming buns in her hands, heading towards the crowd.
Come trot over.
Knowing that Sisi was playing Huang Rong, the appearance of the little beggar immediately caused a commotion among the male tourists not far away.
Of course, those restless boys will inevitably be "beaten" by their girlfriends and wives when they go home!
As for the reason why we need to try out the scene before the official filming, the fundamental reason is that the crew needs to get used to it. This is an issue that may sound inconspicuous, but it cannot be ignored!
The first one is that unless it is a drama produced by a company, many of the crews are put together temporarily.
In these put together crews, most of the actors and directors, or actors and behind-the-scenes teams, are not familiar with each other. In other words, everyone has never met before. Therefore, it is even less likely to have too many interactions with each other.
learn.
Therefore, trying out the scene before officially starting filming can allow the director, actors and shooting team to have a preliminary understanding of each other's shooting habits and basic abilities, and achieve better cooperation.
Secondly, auditioning is a very local matter, especially for actresses, whose emotions are inherently delicate. During the initial process of entering the scene, they will quickly bring the scene they filmed into the entire story as quickly as possible.
.
For example, the part about the little beggar that Sisi auditioned for can be combined with the relationship between the plot before and after.
alternative performance
This issue was mentioned in the previous article. Before auditioning, after imagining a performance method, you can try to see if the character can be performed in other ways, and give several more possibilities in performance.
Choose the best one to try out.
Take care of your partner
If it's a scene between two or several people, you must take care of your partner and don't get too immersed in the emotions of your own character. The biggest fear is that the actors play their own roles and there is no communication between the characters.
Resilience
Don't panic if your partner skips a scene or starts improvising.
Concentration
There are two situations during the audition that test the actor's concentration very much, allowing the actor to enter the situation as quickly as possible, put aside distracting thoughts, and focus on his role.
Familiar with character relationships
In addition to the role you play, you also need to understand other characters in the play. This way you can grasp the relationship between the characters and enter the plot faster during the audition.
As expected, many problems were discovered during the first audition. So Director Li called Sisi to his side and explained the play to her:
"Sisi, when it comes to filming Huang Rong, you can figure it out on your own, and you don't have to be limited by the script. The lines and actions in the script are important, but you can't be completely restricted to them. Don't memorize them by rote... The character you usually show
, can be released appropriately during performance. You can add your own understanding, slightly modify the content of the script, and choose a tone and words that are more suitable for the characteristics of the characters, so that the connection between the characters, lines, and actions will be more natural and will not
Seems abrupt.
Such a performance will let the audience feel your intentions after it is broadcast, reflecting your understanding of the scene and characters, and adding your own opinions. It also shows your ability to create secondary works, which will make you
The performances are more distinctive and the characters are richer..."
Sisi listened very carefully. What Director Li said were all her problems. So the girl frowned and thought for a while, then responded with a serious expression:
"Director, I kind of understand."
…………
"Give me a moment, give me a moment..."
Behind her were a fat man and two bit-part actors dressed as assistants, chasing after her with wooden sticks.
And this bun shop owner is played by Yue Yunpeng.
As the saying goes, good things don't go to outsiders. This special role, who can chase Huang Rong all over the street, is the "highlight moment" of the supporting actor. Naturally, it is reserved for the little fat man.
Because in Zhong Yunqing’s memory, the ratings of Lao Hu’s version of The Condor were quite good. Later, Yue Yunpeng went to learn cross talk. With such a great actor as the background, he could at least look familiar in front of the audience.
Lao Hu stood directly in front of her, protecting her with one hand and blocking several people from approaching:
"How much does this bun cost? I paid it for her."
"Oh, someone paid for it, right? If you had told me earlier, we would have chased you half a street!"
Yue Yunpeng looked at Lao Hu's dumbfounded look and rolled his eyes:
"Thirty cents!"
"What, a steamed bun sells for thirty cents!" The other extras also pointed and talked about it.
But looking at Yue Yunpeng's unconcerned expression, he was obviously confident.
"Since it's so expensive, I'll give it back to you!" After saying that, Sisi threw the bun on him.
"Oh...I paid it back to you, but you didn't receive it yourself!"
"Hey! Are you being a rogue? If I don't teach you a lesson today, I won't open this bun shop on this street in the future!"
Afterwards, there was another scene of chasing each other.
After all, making a TV series is not a movie, and there are no requirements that are too harsh. Basically, the actors’ performance is acceptable. After all, the TV series’ dozens of episodes last for more than 1,000 minutes, and it is impossible to shoot them according to the 90 minutes of a movie.
First of all, the production funds did not allow it, and the other was to meet the shooting schedule.
