He Xin arrived relatively early, and the director and several other major directors had not arrived yet. He took a tour of the studio and saw the extras coming in one after another after applying makeup and wearing good costumes.
The extras are divided into two groups. One group is the North Duke's guards, all wearing silver helmets and black armor, with a white cloth covering their faces, only showing two eyes. The other group is dressed in moon-white Hanfu, with a headband
They were wearing wigs and shawls, a red cloth strip tied on their foreheads, and a jade pendant tied with a red rope around their waists. They were all from the Snow Country.
After a while, He Xin had to change into the same clothes and blend in with the crowd. Because he had tried on costumes before, this play was very sophisticated in terms of props, costumes, and materials.
For example, the moon-white Hanfu worn by the Snow Country people is actually made of hemp. This is special, because in ancient times, only the Western Regions had a very small amount of cotton, and the clothes of the people in most areas were made of hemp.
It was made. And it strictly followed the dressing habits of the ancients. There were three sets of clothes from the inner garment, the middle singlet to the outer robe.
However, these extras playing the Snow Country people are not only college students, but also many older actors and a group of children. At this time, they are rehearsing under the command of the assistant director, such as walking in formation and some physical movements.
"Teacher Li!"
He soon spotted a familiar figure.
"Congratulations! Are you here early?"
The figure turned around and saw him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Apparently he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to say hello, and address him so politely, so he quickly responded with a smile.
The person in front of me looks about thirty-seven or eighty years old, but today's makeup is rather old-fashioned, making him a bit older than his actual age.
He Xin had met her once before in Director Chen's studio, but it was only a brief encounter, no one even introduced her, he just nodded and said hello.
After asking later, he learned that the person named Li Jing was an actress from the Kongzheng Repertory Theater. She had a guest role as Snow Country's mother in this drama. She only had two scenes, and she didn't even have any dialogue.
The reason why he was deeply impressed by this woman was because although this woman was not particularly beautiful, her figure, the way she looked at people, and the way she moved her hands and feet exuded a particularly attractive charm.
.
Originally it was just a quick look, but He Xin soon saw her figure on the TV screen. At this time, Beijing TV was broadcasting a TV series called "The Sky of History", starring Jiang Daya and Wang Husheng.
, Bah! It stars Zhang Fengyi and Sun Song.
He Xin had watched this TV series in his previous life, and thought it was very interesting at the time. But for some reason, he has never seen a rerun of this TV series.
However, when it was broadcast this time, he still followed it very seriously, and it was about to end. This time he suddenly realized that the scale of this TV series was really huge, basically covering our party from the Anti-Japanese War period to
The history from the period of reform and opening up is presented in a very objective manner, which naturally also includes the mistakes our party has made in history.
Li Jing played the role of a Kuomintang female spy named Gao Qiujiang in this drama. Later, she changed her tune and married a Kuomintang uprising general played by Sun Song. Although Li Jing's role in the drama is considered to be the third female lead,
But he really beat up the first female lead Li Lin and the second female lead Yingying in the scene.
Moreover, after He Xin watched this TV series, he was particularly impressed by the two characters in it. In addition to Gao Qiujiang played by Li Jing, the other one was the hateful teacher Yu Hewei played by teacher Yu Hewei, who was later called a late bloomer.
The eternal monument of itching teeth.
First he was impressed by the other person's charming temperament, and then he was shocked by the other person's acting skills. Naturally, He Xin still had a vivid memory of this teacher Li.
"I've never been here before, so I came here early today to visit." He Xin said and walked over to shake hands with the other party.
"This is my first time here today. I didn't expect the scene to be so big."
Different from her temperament, Li Jing's voice gives people a sassy feeling, probably because she is a soldier.
The two started chatting immediately, and He Xin was surprised to find out from the few local accents she inadvertently revealed that Li Jing was from the same hometown as his girlfriend. Although she had been working in the provincial capital since the beginning, she had already moved to the capital.
But when it comes to my hometown, it's still in the same area as Cheng Hao's family.
As a result, the distance between the two parties that was still somewhat polite suddenly narrowed.
Because He Xin noticed before that she was very familiar with the older group of extras, and the gestures of these older extras could tell that they were not ordinary extras, so he asked curiously: "Mr. Li, what were you talking about just now?"
Where did the teachers you work with come from?"
Li Jing smiled and said: "They are all actors from our troupe, and a few are in Mandarin..."
As she spoke, she deliberately lowered her voice and said: "The big productions here are very generous. A thousand yuan a day is almost a month's salary. Anyway, I am idle!"
“It’s really generous!”
He Xin made an exaggerated expression.
He didn't mean it. These days, the prices for extras are divided into three levels. For example, if you call someone from the street, you can get a packed lunch for only 20 yuan a day at most, or even 30 yuan without a meal. If it's like today
The prices for students with performance experience from Nortel are a little higher, but they usually only cost two to three hundred a day, and five hundred is considered top-notch.
"You are so funny. I'm kidding you. In fact, they are not here for the money. They mainly want to enjoy the drama and use their remaining energy. After all, the drama is not very prosperous now and there are not many dramas." Li said at the end.
There was inevitably a trace of bitterness on Jing's face.
He Xin thinks about it, drama has indeed hit its lowest point these days. A large part of the Beijing drifters in the capital are from the provincial drama troupes. When he filmed "Conquest", many of the characters, Lao Gao, were from
All the acting skills selected by this group of people are very reliable.
When you are poor, you want to change. Now many drama troupes are beginning to seek transformation. For example, Li Jing's Kongzheng Repertory Theater. The sitcom "The Story of the Cooking Class" launched in the past two years has become very popular. He Xin was in this drama in his previous life.
loyal audience.
"Shang Jing is indeed very talented. When this drama first started, he was the one who started it from screenwriter to director. Speaking of which, I wanted to act in it, but unfortunately there was no suitable role." When talking about this topic, Li
Jing looked particularly emotional.
Not to mention, He Xin only remembered who the actor was after watching this movie in his previous life. This was the first time he heard the name Shang Jing, but it didn't stop him from remembering the name.
Then, He Xin and Li Jing didn't chat for a while when they saw the originally closed door of the studio slowly pushed open, and a silver-white Nissan commercial vehicle drove directly inside.
The first person to get out of the car was Chen Hong. She looked very haggard wearing sunglasses. Since the last time we said goodbye in the studio, He Xin had not seen this beautiful Mrs. Chen for half a month. It is said that she had just seen her not long ago.
I went to Hengdian and Yunnan to inspect the preparations for the filming location.
She saw He Xin and Li Jing and just nodded. Before she could say hello, she was surrounded by a group of security guards in black who were on duty at the door. Then she saw her starting to give orders to the men in black.
What.
He Xin was a little surprised at first because he didn't see Director Chen. It wasn't until two minutes later that he saw Director Chen slowly getting out of the car.
In fact, Director Chen often gives people a very classy impression at first. For example, he is tall but has a hint of elegance; for example, when he got off the car, he didn't pay any attention to his wife who was in charge of general affairs and the group of men in black next to him.
He didn't even glance at him, he looked very calm and calm.
He strolled towards this side, and a friendly smile appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand and said, "I'm sorry, some things have been delayed. I came a little late and kept you all waiting for a long time."
Director Chen is a very formal person. He would not shake hands with He Xin first because He Xin was famous and was one of the six leading actors in the play. Instead, he extended his hand to Li Jing first, and Li Jing was asked to do so.
Jing was surprised and a little flattered at the same time.
Then he shook hands with He Xin and said with a smile: "How do you feel after seeing it?"
To be honest, after spending a lot of time with Director Chen, He Xin's reaction had almost become a conditioned reflex. He suddenly saw the word "submit" in capital letters on his face, raised his thumb and said: "Awesome!"
"Ha ha!"
Director Chen's hearty laughter resounded through the dome, attracting everyone's attention. Many crew members felt relieved when they saw this scene. On the first day of filming, at least the director was in a good mood.
However, the director's assistant who was following Director Chen had a strange look in his eyes. Looking at He Xin who was laughing with him, he secretly raised his thumbs in his heart: "He is indeed a good actor!"
