The crew of "Water Margin" is divided into four crews, the literary drama AB team and the martial arts drama AB team, each led by assistant directors Kang Honglei, Lu Tao, Guo Daqun and Zhao Xingang.
Chief director Zhang Zhaolin's four teams take turns directing, mainly filming the highlight and controlling the quality of the finished product of the four assistant directors.
The plot of Yanggu belongs to the literary drama group A, and the assistant director in charge is Cao Xuan's old acquaintance-Kang Honglei.
"Xiao Cao, act well and don't embarrass me."
Lao Kang smiled happily when he faced Cao Xuan. He did it by chance, but he didn't expect it to happen.
Not only has he made a contribution to the crew, but he has also gained a favor from Cao Xuan, and maybe he will be judged as a wise man.
Do it all in one fell swoop and make a lot of money!
Cao Xuan also knew Kang Honglei's role in him winning the role of Ximen Qing, but he still felt sorry for him.
In the morning, Cao Xuan was out of action, mainly Wu Dalang and his wife and Wu Song took over. In the afternoon, Cao Xuan, a high-ranking official from Ximen, officially appeared.
I don’t know if it was a test or a demonstration of power, but Cao Xuan’s first scene was the scene of Ximen’s celebration of his name—crossing the pole and causing a bad fate.
There is a joke that has been circulating for a long time in later generations. It is said that if Pan Jinlian did not open the window and Ximen Qing continued to play a small role, Wu Dalang would be fine and Wu Song would not have to go to Liangshan, then there would be no such thing as capturing Fang La with one arm, and the Song Dynasty would have perished early without Jingkang.
If we are ashamed, there will be no Jin soldiers entering the pass. The Ming Dynasty and Manchu Qing Dynasty will probably disappear. Modern history will not be so humiliating. The Chinese nation will stand on top of the world early...
This joke is of course nonsense. On the other hand, it also proves the influence and popularity of this fork pole, otherwise it would not be so widely circulated.
At the same time, this is also the first time Ximen Qing appears in the play. Personally, Cao Xuan really wants to get off to a good start.
After setting up the machine, we first took a medium and long shot of hitting the head, and then a close-up shot. Because the characters were shot separately, Wang Siyi was not in the frame, but she acted in the scene upstairs.
"Get on your feet—begin!"
Kang Honglei gave the order, and all the extras got busy, shouting and shouting, creating a lively street scene atmosphere.
Cao Xuan, on the other hand, was wearing a white embroidered brocade robe, strolling on the street smartly with his hands behind his back. Facing the warm greetings of the street vendors, he nodded slightly in response.
Just as he was walking downstairs to Pan Jinlian, there was a sound from the wooden window and a fork hit him on the head. Cao Xuan held his head and raised his head to glare.
"you……"
When I saw the pretty and charming face upstairs, I was stunned for a moment, and my eyes showed a little obsession.
"Card."
When Kang Honglei gave the order, Cao Xuan's first reaction was to scratch his head, but he was afraid of damaging the hood, so he could only press his head lightly a few times.
In order to ensure accuracy, the fork pole was not dropped by the delicate Pan Jinlian by mistake, but was thrown by a male staff member with considerable force.
"Xiao Cao, are you okay?"
"fine."
"One more thing. You raised your head too quickly just now. You need to look down first to see what hit you, and then look up again."
"Ok, I see."
"Then there's one more, everyone goes to his place——"
According to the process just now, we took three more shots. Once, the staff did not throw the shot correctly, and once the emotions connected too quickly and it was not natural enough. The fourth time finally passed, and we changed to a close-up shot.
Wang Siyi was playing upstairs, speaking with a slight Taiwanese accent: "The slave family made a mistake and hurt the official."
Cao Xuan looked at the camera infatuatedly, paused for a second, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and a smile appeared on his face: "It doesn't matter, I'm afraid the lady has slipped her hand."
"Don't blame me, officials. It's not intentional."
Cao Xuan, who had already assumed the role of the scumbag's real man, still looked directly at Pan Jinlian, but said sweetly: "It's good that the lady has her own intentions."
"Okay, this is over."
Kang Honglei glanced at the clip he had just taken on the monitor and smiled at Li Mingqi, who was watching the fun next to him.
"I suspect that this guy is an old hand at flower bushes, and his style of being interested in sex is too upright."
"Don't blame others randomly. I think Xiao Cao is an honest person."
Cao Xuan is good-looking and polite, and is very popular with the old lady's age group. When faced with Kang Honglei's jokes, he immediately came to his defense.
I didn't finish filming this whole afternoon, mainly because it was stuck with Wang Siyi.
Speaking of which, this girl has the worst acting skills among the actors in Yanggu.
Wang Po is a serious veteran actor, Wu Song is a professional and has also filmed some movies, and Wu Dalang is an amateur, but he can't bear to be honest and kind, so he plays the role in his true colors.
Only Wang Siyi has little acting experience. Secondly, her outgoing and lively personality does not match Pan Jinlian's gentle temperament in the play. She always feels a little inconsistent when acting, which makes Kang Honglei worried.
Before Cao Xuan came on stage, Wang Siyi still hoped to be at the bottom and free herself.
As a result, Cao Xuan's performance was not amazing, but she was solid, and she was still disliked by the director on a daily basis.
When finishing work in the evening, Cao Xuan could clearly feel that Wang Siyi looked at him with a bit of resentment in her eyes. She pouted and sulked, and her eyes were bulging and very beautiful.
But Cao Xuan was not moved at all.
Although he has signed a contract with the crew of "Water Margin", it does not mean that the character of Ximen Qing is doomed. If he does not perform well, he will probably be replaced.
It's too late for him to try his best to act well now. How could he deliberately let the girl off in order to coax him...
………
In the next few days, Cao Xuan made a lot of announcements every day, mainly playing with Wang Po.
Li Mingqi debuted in 1960, and his acting career lasted nearly thirty years. He has acted in dramas, movies, and TV shows. His acting skills are very experienced.
Cao Xuangang was a little nervous when he acted opposite the old lady, fearing that she would overwhelm him too much, causing the directors to lower his impression score.
But after he actually acted, Cao Xuan put his worries behind him.
Maybe it's because she has too many supporting roles, but the old lady doesn't like to steal the spotlight when acting. She instinctively enters into a cooperative state when acting. Unless she shows off her edge in necessary scenes, most of the time she takes the back of Cao Xuan's Ximen Qing.
Now Cao Xuan felt great. No matter how he acted, the old lady could catch it. Without any worries, Cao Xuan could give full play to his performance and was in great condition.
During this period, Zhang Zhaolin came to see the cultural drama group A twice. He focused on Cao Xuan's performance and left with satisfaction.
Not to mention Cao Xuan, he thanked the old lady more. He brought water, added clothes, and chatted with her about household matters. The old lady was getting better and better towards Cao Xuan. She would give advice on Cao Xuan’s acting skills when she had nothing to do. These were all real things she had accumulated over the years, which made Cao Xuan
Benefited a lot.
The two of them worked well together, and the filming of their individual scenes progressed very quickly, often ending work early and then waiting for the other group of actors to finish filming before filming other scenes.
At this time, Cao Xuan would run to get a pot of hot water and soak the red dates brought by the old lady. After taking a sip in the winter, his whole body would feel warm, which was called a sense of comfort.
If you are bored, you can go next door to watch Pan Jinlian being beaten in various ways by the Wu brothers.
Wang Siyi looked at Cao Xuan with increasingly dangerous eyes...
