He Xin greeted the crew members all the way and went into the dressing room.
It has been two days since he joined the set. Uncle Li deliberately did not arrange any scenes for him in the first two days, just to let him get familiar with and adapt to the environment of the set and get a feel for it.
The crew rented two large studios in Daxing, one of which is still under construction, building a school, a court, a treasury, an air-raid shelter and other simulated buildings of various styles from the 1920s and 1930s.
The other one has been completed, recreating some scenes of the Guangzhou National Government and Whampoa Military Academy.
The crew is divided into two groups, AB. Group B is currently filming war scenes in Hebei Province. As the male lead, Yan Wang has the most demanding role. He joined the group early and is probably slogging in the trenches now.
Uncle Li is sitting at the base camp of Group A and is filming some cutscenes in the studio these two days.
He Xin is not a rookie, and it is no problem for him to be familiar with and adapt to the studio environment. In the past two days, he was very interested in the unique shooting techniques of the crew, or the use of lenses and lights.
Because the first day he joined the group, he was shocked. If he hadn't known in advance that a TV series was being filmed here, he would have thought he was filming a movie.
He has filmed movies and TV series. To be honest, the shooting of TV series and the shooting of movies are not in the same dimension at all. When shooting TV series, many times the camera is like a cube, up, down, left, right, front and back, just shooting in a daze, talking.
It doesn’t have to be elaborate, let alone aesthetic, it just needs to show the plot.
But the shots here are rich, but they are by no means deliberately showy or showy. When the plot unfolds, the shots are absolutely sharp; when the plot needs to be delicate, the shots are absolutely thought-provoking. And the depth of field is created
The contrast between reality and reality, the primary and secondary levels, and the halo effect are very eye-catching.
When he watched this TV series in his previous life, he knew that it was good and different from other TV series, but what exactly was the difference? It might be the plot, it might be the actors' performances, but the most easily overlooked thing was the filming of this TV series.
use.
It is completely cinematic, not an ordinary TV series. Maybe it is for this reason that it attracts my attention, and it feels refreshing.
"Good morning, Teacher Huang!"
As soon as he entered the dressing room, he saw Huang Zhizhong already sitting there. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed rimless round glasses and a crisp blue Northern Expeditionary Army uniform. His arms were open, revealing the white cotton shirt underneath.
The makeup artist is helping him take care of his Hitler-like parting.
He couldn't bend his neck, so he smiled at him in the mirror and said, "You're early enough."
"Mainly because I was afraid of traffic jams, I came out early. I didn't expect that Mr. Huang would be earlier than me." He Xin also smiled.
There was nothing he could do about it, his qualifications were there. He also graduated from Chinese Opera, and he was in the same class as Hao Rong and Li Mengnan. As a student of Hao Rong, he had to address him as a teacher in both emotional and rational terms.
Huang Zhizhong smiled and said nothing.
To be honest, he felt a little complicated when he saw He Xin. When the script came out, he fell in love with the role of Yang Liren at first sight, and Uncle Li also agreed to let him play it. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway, and He Xin
Xin happened to be interested in this role too, and if Yang Liqing, the good leading male lead, was not cast, he would definitely play the second male lead.
There was nothing he could do, so he watched helplessly as his favorite role was snatched away from him. Uncle Li also felt bad about it. Apart from the several main roles that had already been decided, he was free to choose other roles.
In fact, the reason why he chose this role of Chu Cai, who has few roles, is because the opponent in almost all the scenes of this role is Yang Liren. He was very unconvinced and just wanted to compete face to face with He Xin.
The two just exchanged a simple greeting and had nothing to say. The atmosphere in the dressing room was inevitably a bit awkward. The makeup artist who was helping Huang Zhizhong fix his hair even glanced at He Xin secretly.
They are all Uncle Li's old team members, and they all came here when they were filming "The Ming Dynasty 1566". They are also well aware of the disputes about Yang Liren's character, and they are naturally biased towards their old acquaintance Huang Zhizhong. But seeing He Xin
He sat down calmly, pretending that he didn't know what was going on.
Come to think of it, who calls him famous? The Golden Horse Best Actor, the Golden Rooster Best Actor, the Huabiao Best Actor, the Best Newcomer in Berlin, the Little Best Actor in Venice, etc. He can be said to be the first among the new generation of actors in China. That’s not him.
Whatever role you want to play, be it!
"Teacher He, let's do his hair first." Another makeup artist quickly helped him put on the scarf and said politely.
"OK!"
The hairstyles of the characters in the play are very simple, because they are all Northern Expedition soldiers. The art designer Zhao Hai referred to some old photos of that era. Almost all of them have the hair on the sideburns and the back smoothed, similar to the people commonly known as "toilet seats"
Hair style, then it varies from person to person, and then do something with the hair on the top of the head.
For example, the hairstyle of Chu Cai played by Huang Zhizhong is Hitler's little parting.
As for He Xin, the makeup artist shaved his head and praised him profusely: "Oh, your hair is so thick, so black, and so soft. It's so good! If only it had been like that a few years ago.
, it’s really a pity not to have long hair.”
He Xinchao glanced at this guy in the mirror. That's right. When he first entered the industry, many people in the so-called literary and artistic circles had long hair that looked very artist-like, just like Niu Le had long hair back then.
.But now, with the fashion trend, it has changed from long hair to three millimeter burrs. It has simply gone from one extreme to the other.
"Breakfast is here!"
At this time, a whirring sound came from the door, and it could be said that laughter arrived before anyone arrived. Then he saw Ke Lan running in happily from outside carrying two plastic bags.
"Zhizhong, you want to eat... Hey, Xiaohe is early enough today!"
"Sister Ke Lan, it's early for you too!"
He Xin initially had an average impression of this former host and later actress who had a strong sense of superiority. Because when the crew organized script readings several times before, her line skills were the worst and she always acted like a host.
accent. It can be seen from this that the acting skills will definitely not be much better.
Moreover, she doesn't care about other people's feelings when she speaks. Sometimes she is so rigid that it makes people uncomfortable. The key is that she doesn't know it herself.
But after several contacts, I found that apart from being careless in what he said, he was actually a pretty good person. At least he was quite honest. He could say whatever he wanted, and at least he wouldn't try to cause trouble for you secretly.
She may also know that her acting skills are not good, and she is very serious. Although her role is relatively late, she still came to the crew in advance to adapt to the environment, observed and studied at the filming site, and even wrote and drew with a small notebook. This
The attitude is still worthy of recognition.
However, He Xin noticed that she had a really good relationship with Huang Zhizhong. They usually went out together and went in together, and occasionally they would hide in the corner and flirt. For example, she was a bit squeamish and couldn't get used to the set lunches, so the assistant would go out to help her.
When buying, it’s always for two people, so I took Huang Zhizhong with me.
How should I put it? It seems that good is a bit too much, beyond the scope of ordinary friends. But He Xin should not make any assumptions. After all, Mr. Huang has long been a member of the family, and his wife is a famous actor in the industry. Even
My son is already quite old.
The two plastic bags Ke Lan was carrying were filled to the brim. As soon as he opened them, he could smell a scent. Even He Xin, who had already had breakfast, couldn't help but swallow.
Ke Lan was not stingy, and took the initiative: "Xiao He, have you had breakfast?"
"Uh, what do you have here?"
"Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, pancakes and fruit, tofu cakes... Oh, I can't give you the tofu cakes. There are only two portions in total, one for Zhizhong and I, and sugar pancakes."
"Oh, leave me a sugar pancake, thank you!"
The makeup artist was very quick and quickly fixed his hair. The crew paid great attention to details and would not make your hair shiny. They just combed it neatly and then sprayed it with setting water to set it.
Can.
As for the clothing of Hua Dao, it is also in line with the style of that era. They are all made of soft fabrics and cotton shirts, which are similar to the rigor of He Xin's clothing when he was filming "Purple Butterfly".
This reminded him of the film "Start Now" directed by Liu Jiang, which had just been completed two days ago. There was a plot in it. The leader played by Liu Hua was obviously filming "The Secret History of Jing Ke", but he didn't prepare the costumes.
It was a Qing Dynasty style. Fan Wei expressed doubts, but Liu Hua spoke plausibly and emphasized: "This is a TV series, not a movie, so it's not that rigorous!"
"Hey, why are you laughing?"
Ke Lan, who was drinking tofu pudding with Huang Zhizhong and talking and laughing, accidentally looked up and saw.
"Oh, it's okay, I just remembered something funny."
"Then just say it and let us laugh too! Here, here are the sugar cakes for you."
"Oh, thank you!"
He Xin took the sugar pancake in a plastic bag and glanced at Huang Zhizhong, who was drinking tofu bread in a leisurely manner. He hesitated for a moment. Although no one had ever told him that he had stolen Huang Zhizhong's role, but
When he came to the set and saw his face for the first time, he already understood.
Moreover, friends from the crew had not seen him in several meetings before. He seemed to be hiding from him on purpose. Then when he arrived at the crew, he was always cold and indifferent. He Xin also knew it well.
So I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to deliberately ease the relationship and said, "Teacher Huang, if it's convenient later, let's have a duel first!"
Huang Zhizhong froze for a moment, looked up, twitched his face, and said with a half-smile, "I don't think so. With today's show, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"..."
He Xin wanted to soften things up, but it was a pity that he didn't appreciate it!
He was stunned for a moment, then simply stopped pretending, grinned and said, "Okay!"
Come directly, come directly, who is afraid of who!
