"Come on, the last dish is here, everyone is ready to eat!"
"Wow, we actually have chicken to eat today!"
"Wow, big chicken legs!"
As soon as several actors arrived at the inn lobby with their scripts in hand, they saw Li Dazui putting the last main course on the table.
The first person to shout out was Mo Xiaobei. The little girl is at the age of gluttony, so naturally she couldn't help but shout out when she saw something delicious.
As for the other calls, of course they came from the girl Sisi!
The reason why she burst out cheering was not to please others. It was because this girl had not eaten decent meat for several days! Now she really wanted to hold a chicken drumstick and start chewing it!
After all, she is still an eighteen-year-old girl. She is always pampered by her parents at home and in college, and she has never experienced any hard life.
Later, she got a boyfriend, and Zhong Yunqing pampered her every day before joining the group. While teaching her acting skills, she cooked a lot of delicious food for her.
As a result, the girl had no idea that she, a "little public servant" who had always been pampered by the group and had never experienced hardship.
Since I came to this "shabby" crew of Wulin Gaiden, I can only eat a good meal every three to five for a week!
The rest of the time, I eat white flour steamed buns with a few stir-fry dishes every day. Usually it’s either shredded pork with green pepper or shredded mustard mustard, and if I’m more extravagant, it’s scrambled eggs with chopped green onion…
As a result, this girl who had never eaten large pieces of meat before has long missed the taste of chicken legs and pork knuckles! Now she often dreams about secretly holding the pork knuckles and devouring them!
So when she saw that what Li Dazui put on the table was a pot of mushroom stewed chicken, especially the two complete large chicken legs on the top, she was as greedy as a little girl and shouted out excitedly.
Zhong Yunqing and several other actors stood aside, looking at her like this. Although she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, she still felt inexplicably bitter.
In his previous life, because he liked the show, he also read many interviews with the crew members. He knew that the Wulin Gaiden crew was really short of funds. So before coming here, he was already prepared to endure hardships.
But even though I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked by the real situation of the crew.
After experiencing all this himself, he realized that what the actors said in the interviews were not artistic processing, nor were they fabrications to attract attention, but he truly felt the bitterness involved.
After all, during this period, the food provided to the crew in 2005 was far inferior to the era of abundant supplies in later generations.
Especially for a crew like Wulin Gaiden, which is seriously short of funds. At this time, "adding chicken legs" really means it literally. It is really given as a reward for good performance, not just a joke.
There was an episode filmed before this: Mr. Xing imagined boiled noodles as shredded noodles, and pickles as pork sausages;
There is also an episode where a few people are vegetarians and Lao Bai is eating steamed buns.
There are many such examples in the Wulin Gaiden crew.
In fact, although the crew has insufficient funds, there is one thing to say. Apart from the shabby scene layout and costumes, this drama is really practical when it comes to eating. Unlike other crews, what is placed on the table is basically food.
Props to show off.
There are many scenes of eating in this drama, which were filmed while the actors were eating.
So this is why there are so many eating scenes in Wulin Gaiden. It is the product of the director combining the actors' meals with the plot during the filming process.
The same goes for the plot that will be filmed later. Although the director just called for dinner, he was talking to the filming team. The actual meal time of several actors has not yet arrived, and they have to reshoot a scene of chatting at the dinner table.
After the actors all sat down at the dinner table, Director Shang looked at Mo Xiaobei who had already picked up his chopsticks and was about to steal a piece of mushroom. He walked over and rubbed her little head and said:
"Everyone, don't move your chopsticks in a hurry. While it's still bright, let me say something first. Before eating, let's finish filming the scene just now. Xiaobei won't have any scenes for a while, so you guys can go on and finish the scene we just shot.
The scene with Mrs. Qian was filmed together."
There is a reason why we took the time to shoot this scene. Wulin Gaiden is not like those tycoon crews that invested heavily in later generations, and used all kinds of gorgeous lighting when filming TV series.
Due to limited production funds, Wulin Gaiden relied almost entirely on natural light when shooting. When the weather was good, we would shoot, and when the weather was bad, we would have to leave.
(The above are all what I found. They are not random writings. They were classics made in such a shabby way back then.)
After the filming camera was set up, Director Shang came to the dinner table again to explain the scene to the actors:
"It's time for dinner. I'll make a long story short. You can try it once or twice with some snacks. When filming this conversation, there is only one essence that you have to capture, and that is "gloating over misfortune"!"
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, the director continued to explain patiently:
"Mrs. Qian often bullies and suppresses Tongfu Inn. This character has a very bad reputation. Seeing her misfortune, you have no reason not to feel relieved, so it is only in line with human nature to take pleasure in others' misfortunes at this time..."
With this explanation, everyone understands. After all, Wulin Gaiden tells the story of a group of ordinary people, not the story of a group of "Madonnas".
"Wulin Gaiden Episode 24, Scene 10..."
After the shooting started, several people who already knew how to take pictures were at the dinner table and each took the shooting actions according to the shooting position.
Sha Yi took the lead in saying the first line:
"Hey, Mrs. Qian, life is hard!"
However, when Sha Yi said this, there was no sadness on his face that he had just sighed. Instead, there was a hint of gloating smile at the corner of his mouth.
His faint smile fit perfectly with the director's instructions just now.
Because the reason why everyone is gloating about others' misfortunes is entirely "made" by Mrs. Qian herself. As the most acrimonious personification of Qixia Town, this character is really annoying to everyone, and the flowers will wither in time...
Next came Sisi, who worked hard to perform this part well and tried to start eating as soon as possible.
So she took over Sha Yi's words and said seriously:
"It is indeed a hard life! First, I suffered a blow from the Shaolin abbot, Bodhidharma Kick..."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, Lao Bai took up the topic again: "Then the leader of Wudang attacked me with two moves of Tai Chi!"
Next was Li Dazui. He nibbled on a piece of white-faced steamed bun, chuckled and said, "I let Master Emei stab him three or four times..."
Then came Lao Bai’s lines again:
"It hasn't fallen yet..."
As he spoke, he tapped Zhong Yunqing's chest several times and continued to say with a painful expression:
"I was hit five or six times by the lighting master! They are all fatal points!"
Sisi also showed a gloating smile this time:
"Immediately afterwards, I received a whole set of seven-injury punches! The five elders of Kongtong hit me so hard that they flew all over the sky! It took half an hour before I fell!"
After she finished speaking, Zhong Yunqing took a bite of vegetables and said with an expressionless face:
"If a person can be beaten so many times at the same time in his lifetime..."
"And it is the most profound and brilliant martial arts..."
Big Mouth: "What an honor this is!"
Then, everyone sighed together, but there was no sense of sadness on their faces. Instead, they started to pick up vegetables and eat after a simple gossip...
Not to mention, after a few actors said it orally, people can immediately make up the picture in their minds! It must be said that the screenwriter is really talented.
After several people finished performing this scene, they heard Director Shang shouting with a loudspeaker:
"Okay, this scene is over. Let's start eating."
"yeah!"
Mo Xiaobei, who was outside the court just now, immediately trotted in and sat down on his seat. He raised his chopsticks and looked left and right, then stretched out his hand to pick up a chicken leg.
At this time, Yan Ni took the lead, picked up one of the chicken legs with a smile and put it in her bowl. She said softly:
"Little greedy cat, eat it, no one will compete with you!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law..." I was used to it in the drama, and Mo Xiaobei didn't change his words for a while.
There were only two chicken drumsticks on the plate, so of course none of the actresses would pick them up. Everyone defaulted to giving them to the youngest actor.
Of course, in terms of age, Mo Xiaobei deserves to be the first, followed by Sisi. The girl is just eighteen years old now, so the ownership of the second drumstick is self-evident.
So Yan Ni picked up another one and put it in the bowl of Sisi with a smile.
"Thank you, Sister Yan Ni."
Sisi picked up the chicken legs with a cheerful expression and took a bite first.
Actually this is not the only time.
During this period, every time it was time to eat, the veteran actors in the crew would consciously leave the best parts of the table to these two younger girls.
