Liu Tianzuo nodded lightly, "Xu Zhengda is our seventh and eighth class, and he is truly worthy of the title of master brother."
"He debuted early and has good acting skills. He has been doing pretty well over the years."
Fang Jing smiled bitterly, "How good is Xu Zheng? His agency is not strong enough and he has no support from noble people. Now he has been wandering around in the middle-level actor industry."
But compared to Liu Tianzuo and Wei Wei, they are quite good. They have been playing supporting roles in major drama groups, with eight men and nine men.
This time I was able to get the role of Fatty Wang because of my body shape, which is consistent with the original work. Others who are fatter than him are not as good at acting, but their acting skills are not as good as his.
"But I can't compare with you." Liu Tianzuo lamented, "Some people are born to eat this kind of rice. Speaking of which, you only debuted for half a year, and now you can play the second male lead. You will have a bright future."
Although the character Zhang Qiling does not have many lines, he is likeable and plays a big role in the plot. In addition, Fang Jing is a happy person, so he is ranked second in the official series.
The third one is him, the fourth one is Tang Yan, the fifth one is Zhang Zhiyao, followed by Li Chenghao who plays the role of the young master, Sun Yaoqi who plays Cheng Chengcheng, and Wei Wei who plays Pan Zi.
Taking the book, Fang Jing shook it and said with a smile: "Who can rely on luck to be famous all his life? Sooner or later, the small fresh meat market will be eliminated, and you powerful people will have a day to show off your talents."
Liu Tianzuo and Wei Wei were surprised, as if they didn't expect Fang Jing to say that Xiaoxianrou would be eliminated in the future.
After all, now is the time when the film is becoming popular. In another two years, they may not be able to get any roles and they won't be able to afford food.
Putting the book away, Fang Jing looked at the two of them, "Brother Xu said this, but I agree with it."
…
After a few people chatted for a long time, the car stopped on the side of the road and the set arrived.
The red sun rises in the sky, reflecting golden scales on the lake, and the diffuse morning fog begins to disperse.
The crew has already started setting up machines for the set.
Today's day was specially chosen by the director. It is the only day this week with sunshine, which meets the requirements for light capture.
The morning sun is very cold!
Wei Wei shivered as soon as he got out of the car, his mouth was filled with mist, and he felt better after a set of punches.
The actors arrived one after another, and the temporary set was prepared, including a simple wooden pavilion with two plastic boards painted and inserted into the soil.
"Everyone, get ready, we'll start shooting in ten minutes!" the director shouted with a loudspeaker.
Fang Jing quickly took off his cotton coat to do warm-up exercises and did burpees on the spot. Li Yifeng was better. His outfit was a black leather jacket, and he could add clothes inside. After a while, he had a summer dress, which he couldn't add at all.
Zhang Zhiyao and Xiao Bing, who played the third uncle, also started to warm up. One of them wore a waistcoat and a T-shirt, and the other wore a white vest and cardigan shirt.
Xiao Bing wore old cloth shoes with no socks, half of his instep was exposed, and his trouser legs were half rolled up.
"The actors are in place and ready to start shooting!"
Hearing the sound, the assistant director began to arrange the positions. Fang Jing was at the far edge, close to the lake. In front of him were Zhang Zhiyao, Li Yifeng and others.
Seven or eight meters away from the shore, Xiao Bing was sitting on a long bench under a pavilion, with one foot on it, squinting his eyes to avoid the sun, and holding a big hookah in his hand, puffing away, looking like a lazy old farmer.
"Scene six, first shot, begin!"
"This is the river. The river cave is behind the mountain." Zhang Zhiyao held the map in his hand and squinted at the mountain across the lake.
Wei Wei looked curious and stretched out his head to see what was drawn on the map, but Zhang Zhiyao subconsciously hid and closed the map.
"Third Master, I'm not an outsider. Let's take a look."
"The electronic map is more accurate!" Mr. Hi, played by Li Chenghao, came over with a tablet computer.
"Look, we are here. If we want to go over there, we can't get there."
…
For two whole minutes, everyone continued to speak without interruption. Fang Jing had no words and watched their performance with an indifferent face, feeling a little itchy in his heart.
"Stuck! This one has passed, prepare for the next one."
It went very smoothly, no one ng, and everyone got through it in one go.
After resting for ten minutes, everyone did warm-up exercises again. A few glasses of hot water made them feel better, but they were already very cold.
In the early spring of March, it is not easy to express the feeling of June.
A few minutes later, the second shooting started. This time, it mainly shot Zhang Zhiyao and Xiao Bing. The two of them had more lines and more scenes, which was a test of their acting skills.
Xiao Bing sat on the bench with his eyelids raised. After hearing the scorer's call, he took a long sip of water pipe and took a secret glance at Fang Jing and the others from the corner of his eye.
His skin is pale, with half-blond hair mixed with a lot of white hair, and a sparse beard. To a discerning eye, he looks to be in his fifties, but if you look closely, he doesn't look that old. He seems to be sick and aging prematurely.
After a conversation, several people decided to take the water route. Senior Zhang Zhiyao and Li Yifeng squatted down to smell the boatman's dog.
"This dog smells so sexy! How long has it been since you took a bath?"
Pan Zi laughed, "Haha! Young Master, it's still early for me to learn from your Third Uncle's skills."
"This dog is afraid of eating..."
Through analysis, everyone found that something was wrong with the two boatmen, but they still insisted on taking the boat.
There is no word in the middle scene, but when I heard one of the boatmen say that there was a snake spirit in the cave, his eyes were cold, I glanced at it subconsciously, and the camera gave a close-up.
"Stuck! Passed!"
"Get ready to pack your things, let's go to the lake to take pictures."
After the director gave an order, the scene staff arranged for the scene to be removed, the staff went on board to set up the tripod, and the camera was placed in the appropriate position.
After crossing the river, the number of scenes gradually increased, and until we reached the cave, he never did it once. Wei Wei and others looked at him with admiration.
Because even Li Yifeng just took four shots in a row to pass. Either he didn't remember his lines or he pronounced them wrong.
After entering the cave, the director called a timeout and focused on the five people on the boat. "We will film the water scene immediately. Which ones need to be replaced?"
The water in March is very cold, and there is no sunlight in the cave here. It is biting to the bones when you put your hands down. Several big-name directors cannot afford to pay for the frostbite.
"I don't have to!" Wei Wei was the first to shake his head.
It's not easy for him to act in this role, and he's not a big name, so he wouldn't dare to ask for a substitute.
The director was delighted and saved another hundred. He looked at Zhang Zhiyao, Fang Jing, Li Yifeng and Li Chenghao.
"I...I don't want it either." Li Chenghao hesitated for a few seconds and refused to stand in for him.
He is a newcomer to Huanrui. He started working in film and television the year before last. He has never studied acting before because his appearance is not bad and he has acted in several dramas.
Although he also wanted a substitute, he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Fang Jing and Li Yifeng, so he had to do it anyway.
Zhang Zhiyao urged, "I don't have to! Ask the two of them to start quickly."
"I'm still young and don't need it." Fang Jing moved his body.
"I want it!" Li Yifeng nodded without any embarrassment.
You can do it if you can, there is no need to show off.
On such a cold day, the water depth must not exceed eight degrees, and he would not freeze to death if he went down. He could do it if he only stayed there for a few minutes.
But filming can only be completed in a few minutes. The camera needs to be shot repeatedly from various angles, and it cannot be completed in less than half an hour.
In his opinion, both Fang Jing and Li Chenghao were desperate to save face and suffer the consequences. They were frozen to death and had to get up obediently and find a substitute.
It delays progress and hurts your health, so why bother?
