Chapter five hundred and seventy-seven: drama tyrant
"Thank you, master. Just control the cat and leave the lyrics to me."
The prop master has taken all ninety-nine steps. It makes no sense for Fang Jing to let him do the last step. It's just a dialogue. It's an actor's basic skills. If you practice more, it won't be a big problem.
"Thank you, Teacher Fang, for your understanding." The scenery master's face was full of gratitude. He was really scared.
They started to set up the scene before Fang Jing arrived, and there were several artists on the side to guide them. This didn't work, that didn't work, and they had to add this and that.
Ma De, at that time I really wanted to give him a piece of cake. We don’t understand acting, but the scenery is professional, so I still don’t need you to tell me what to do?
It's a pity that they are big stars, so they don't dare to complain and can only do as they are told, even if they are pointed at and scolded by young people the same age as their children.
"It's okay, thank you for your hard work." Fang Jing patted the landscaper on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go eat first, I'll leave later."
"Teacher Fang, why don't you just perform a few times before leaving?"
"Forget it, everyone can perform a few times, and you won't be able to call it a day until noon tomorrow."
Hearing this, the scenery master almost shed tears. It is rare to meet a considerate person. There are more than 20 celebrities here. Even if one person performs it once, it will only take a few hours.
They had to wait for the stars to finish their performances before they could dismantle the scenery, and it was indeed until noon that everything was done.
It's good for the celebrities. After the performance, they go back to the hotel to sleep comfortably. After they finish, they have to have a meeting for check-ups, and then go back to work at six o'clock in the evening.
Walking up the steps of the auditorium, Fang Jing clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "Everyone, be quiet. Let me say a few words."
"Everyone stayed up late at night to read the script and rehearse. This spirit is very good, but considering that it is not easy for the scenery master, he has to wait until we finish the rehearsal before unpacking the scenery. You also need to rest and be considerate, and don't even rehearse.
."
"That's it for today. Come back. I'll discuss it with the station tomorrow and let you take over your scenes and find a place to rehearse."
The worst thing about the sports center is the venue. There are no games now and there are almost no people. It’s not difficult to find an open space and spend half an hour setting up a scene.
"Mr. Fang is right. We didn't consider it well. The scenery builders also need to rest."
"Yeah! And some groups didn't come, so we practiced secretly first, which was a bit unfair to them."
"Listen to Mr. Fang, let's break up and come back tomorrow."
Regardless of whether they were convinced or not, at least on the surface, the artists in the venue did not confront Fang Jing. They packed up their things and left the stadium in twos and threes.
If someone else had said this, he would have been scolded. Who are you? Just let us go. I came here late at night just to perform better on stage. It's none of my business whether the scenery master takes a rest or not.
As for the other members of the group not coming, is that unfair? Bah! It would be a good idea not to come. They are all competitors. I am very happy to have one less person. I wish they all didn’t come.
"Your group should go back too." Fang Jing walked to Guo Jingming's group and said, "Thank you, Director Guo."
"That's right. Mr. Fang works very hard too. He came here late at night to deliver food and show consideration for the scenery workers."
"What a shame! I originally wanted to find out what I was doing, but it was only when I saw these workers that I realized that this was wrong and shouldn't take up other people's time."
Looking at Xiao Zan, Fang Jing continued: "You have no acting experience. This is a rare opportunity. Learn more from Director Guo, listen more and ask more questions. Teacher Li Bin and the others are very good actors. If you have nothing to do, ask as many people as possible."
"Well, I understand, Mr. Fang."
"The new guy in our company made Director Guo laugh."
In front of so many people, Fang Jing did not hide that Xiao Zan was an artist from Nanjing. Letting Xiao Zan come to this show was to increase his exposure and learn something.
Ten episodes of the program lasted for three months. It was a rare opportunity to communicate face-to-face with so many outstanding actors and directors every day.
"It turns out he is from your company. I asked him why he is so handsome. He is very nice and works hard."
For the first time, Guo Jingming set his sights on Xiao Zan, a little transparent person. There were countless third-tier artists in the entertainment industry, so he didn't know who was who.
There were artists from various companies coming to this show, and he didn't bother to check them one by one.
"Director Guo, thank you for your troubles. Let's go. Let's go to bed early. See you tomorrow." Fang Jing nodded with a smile and walked away.
Guo Jingming waved his hand, "You can go too, don't stay here."
"Goodbye, Director Guo."
"See Director Guo tomorrow."
"Go to rest early, Director Guo, don't be too tired, you have worked hard today."
Not surprising that there were so many people attending, the artists said goodbye to Guo Jingming one by one, and left the sports center together.
Just after leaving the sports center, some people went back to the hotel to rest, and some made appointments with actors they had just met today to hang out together in twos and threes.
Many friends and many paths, making connections is also part of the entertainment industry.
…
The next day, Fang Jing reported what happened that night to the station, and the program team immediately circled a piece of land for everyone to set up a scene.
After lunch, a group of actors gathered at the sports center and each found their own set to start the scene. The set was set up, and then there were the costumes. Fang Jing's costume was a Tang Dynasty costume, which had already arrived.
With no makeup on their faces, they put on hoods and clothes, and Fang Jing and Yu Xiaotong began to play each other. For the first time, they both read their lines first. Once they were familiar with the lines, they practiced their positions with the camera.
"Help, open the coffin."
"Did you find anything?"
"Pull it open first."
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so dazed?"
"I understand."
Fang Jing and Yu Xiaotong performed a scene as a cat demon. They didn't have many lines. They exchanged dozens of sentences back and forth. Both of them had no problem. The next step was to cooperate with the camera to move the camera.
This is the most troublesome. The character is walking during the performance. You can't repeat it. You have to take one shot to the end. When to do a close-up, when to shoot the cat, when to shoot the square scene, and when to shoot Yu Xiaotong, these are all
Need to discuss.
In order to shoot this scene, Fang Jing showed off his directorial skills and specially drew the script, and the arrangement was quite impressive.
afternoon.
"Let's rest first. Everyone has worked hard. Let's rest for half an hour before we continue."
"Huh!" Yu Xiao breathed out heavily, wiped cold sweat from his head, and ran to the toilet.
Fang Jing had the final say in this scene. He didn't dare to complain at all and just cooperated with the performance. If Fang Jing made a bad impression and Fang Jing said something outside, no director would dare to use him.
The situation in other groups is similar to Fang Jing's, with the big and famous person having the final say and another artist cooperating.
A group of Duan Bo patterns...
"You can't do this. Listen to me. Here is a glass of water, eighty percent full. When I say something, I will say it first. You don't want to answer it. We'd better make eye contact. I was confused at first. You are enchanting and charming."
"But that's not how the original film was played."
"The original film is the original film, and we are not the actors in the original film. If we act according to it, what is the difference between it and imitation? The audience's first subjective opinion is the original performance, and neither of us has to act."
Mao Xiaohui felt aggrieved. She strongly disagreed with Duan Bowen's views, but the man in front of her was stubborn and couldn't listen to him at all.
Even if you change your own play, you should also change her play.
