Chapter 23 Zuo Le's Acting and Deputy Director Ming Yan
September 19, 2015
This is a day worth remembering.
Director Zuo Da's first scene in "Underground Traffic Station" starts shooting today.
The main actors and actresses of the crew, who had already heard the news, all came to the studio regardless of whether they had any scenes today, and happily squatted beside them to watch the fun.
Of course Zuo Le knew this very well, but he didn't show any panic on his face.
The joke is, he is the director, and whether the play is good or not is entirely up to him.
These people want to see his director Zuo having fun?
Daydreaming!
Zuo Le ignored these "malicious" people and directed and arranged today's shooting scene.
Today we mainly filmed a few scenes from the third episode of the drama. The general plot is that Heiteng suspected that there was something wrong with Cai Shuigen, who was new to Dingxiang House. In order to clear the suspicion, Shuigen set up a trap with Shi Qingshan, the captain of the martial arts team.
Shi Qingshan went out to capture Jia Gui, and then tied him to Jingxiang Tower for interrogation. During this period, Shui Gen "accidentally" discovered him. He quickly reported the news to the detective team and rescued Jia Gui from Shi, thereby proving that Shui Gen was not an underground party.
Fang Weimin, who plays Shi Qingshan, has not yet joined the cast, so today we mainly filmed the scenes between Shopkeeper Sun, Shui Gen and the detective team who came to the rescue.
Among them, Lao Liu, played by Zuo Le, is the leader of the four-man team that comes to rescue the detective team.

After a few explanations, while the scene was being arranged, Zuo Le took the time to put on makeup and change into costumes.
After all, he is not a protagonist, but he is a male character, and his makeup is relatively easy to apply. In less than twenty minutes, Zuo Le appeared in front of everyone brand new.
Wearing a yellow big-brimmed hat, a light green silk jacket with its arms open and loose, a white sweatshirt underneath, and sparse black bloomers on the lower body, a gun belt slung over his shoulder, and a piece of era-filled patch on his forehead.
Special dog skin plaster.
Hoo~
You can't let Uncle Nai look like this!!!
Zuo Le didn't know what these people were thinking, otherwise he would have to fight them directly.
He took out the gun from the gun case, held it in his hand, shook his shoulders twice, raised his chin, raised it when holding the gun, and said a classic saying of a certain army.
"Brothers, rush for me."
Bang bang bang......
The assistant director Mingyan, who was responsible for playing the role of Lao Jiu and also dressed as a traitor, applauded Zuo Le with admiration on his face.
"It's amazing, director, it's so interesting, lifelike, wonderful and pretty."
"Go away, shut up if you don't know how to praise others."
Zuo Le was so angry that he kicked him: "Have you memorized your lines clearly? Give me a break later, and don't blame me for dealing with you."
The assistant director made it clear that he was one of the few people on the crew who was not from the production center. He was Zuo Le's deputy who was hired by himself. He is only one year older than Zuo Le, but he is an experienced veteran who has been in the industry for many years.
When he was seventeen years old, Mingyan dropped out of school and joined his uncle who was a group actor at the Hengcheng Base. He has been involved in the film and television industry ever since. The year before last, Zuo Le met Mingyan by chance. Later, after getting to know him, Zuo Le discovered
This guy is awesome.
He has a background as a group performer, has worked as a stage manager, knows makeup, can handle photography, recording, scenery, lighting, costumes, props and even post-editing. He is a very versatile all-rounder.
But being good at everything doesn’t mean being good at everything.
Although Mingyan is "all-powerful", he cannot do it alone, so after so many years of work, he can barely be regarded as an assistant director, or a semi-temporary worker.
However, for Zuo Le, Mingyan's rich crew experience is exactly what a rookie director like him, who is directing a crew for the first time, lacks the most.
Therefore, at the beginning of preparing the crew, Zuo Le called and recruited Mingyan to become his deputy.
Facts have proved that Mingyan has lived up to Zuo Le's expectations. Mingyan owes at least one-third of the credit for the crew to be able to run so smoothly now.
Without his help, Zuo Le would not have managed the crew so well in such a short period of time.
Zuo Le was very satisfied with Mingyan, his deputy with quite good abilities.
I even have some intention of working with him for a long time, so we get along with him more casually.
Mingyan was probably aware of Zuo Le's intentions, so he often came over to flatter Zuo Le recently, intending to get closer to Zuo Le and thereby get on Zuo Le's lap.
At this time, when Zuo Le asked him about his lines, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, don't talk about my own lines. I have memorized all the lines of the director and Teacher Bao, and I guarantee that I won't make any mistakes."
Zuo Le nodded and made it clear that after being in the industry for so many years, his acting experience alone was more than that of the two Gao Mingliang combined, otherwise he would not have let him play the supporting role of Lao Jiu, who had a considerable role.
………
Zuo Le did not appear in the first two games, mainly the scenes between Shopkeeper Sun and Shui Gen.
This scene was not too difficult. The two actors had been working together for more than half a month. They had a certain understanding of each other and passed the two scenes easily.
Then, it was time for the detective team played by Zuo Le and Mingyan.
The director and assistant director went into battle together, and photographer Jiang Dapeng temporarily picked up the guide tube.
"Actors waiting to prepare"
"Attention all units"
"ation!"
Dingxiang Building
Shopkeeper Sun pointed at Shui Gen and said, "I wonder why you are more cowardly than me."
Shuigen held an oil paper bag and smiled honestly: "Only you, the shopkeeper, know."
"Hey, you kid..."
Shopkeeper Sun looked at the unsatisfied Shui Gen, and opened his mouth to scold him again, when suddenly several shouts came from outside the door.
"Go ahead."
"Don't move."
With a ferocious look on his face, Zuo Le rushed into the store with his three subordinates including Lao Jiu, played by Ming Yan, and pointed at shopkeeper Sun and Cai Shuigan and said, "It's none of your business," and then raised his pistol and shouted at his subordinates.
shouted.
"Brothers, it's time for you to make a contribution... Come to me~"
After saying that, Zuo Le jogged forward a few steps with his gun in hand. He felt something was wrong. When he looked back, he found that all three of his men had gotten under the table.
"Damn, what a bunch of trash."
Zuo Le pulled out his three subordinates with anger on his face and asked one by one: "Where has your previous ability gone? Lao Jiu."
Pulling Mingyan's sleeve, Zuo Le dragged him into the yard: "I usually think you look like a man, but today you will go first."
"I look like a man? I'm the most cowardly,
Mingyan broke free, shouted confidently, and then looked at the other traitor: "Li Defu, you usually..."
"Don't mention it."
Li Defu, who was wearing a Japanese soldier's cap, was full of fear: "I'm more cowardly than you, Zhao Ernao..."
"Don't look, I am the most cowardly person here." Zhao Ernuo took a few steps back, with rejection written all over his face.
After that, several traitors started the coward contest at the top of their lungs.
"Who are you to say that you are the most cowardly? I am obviously the most cowardly!"
"I'm the most cowardly!"
"No one is afraid of me!"
"..."
boom
Zuo Le slammed the table and cursed at the top of his lungs: "Shut up."
After that, he had a fierce look on his face, twisted his hips, and stepped out with his legs, a kind of funny and cautious steps, and walked to the door leading to the courtyard. When several traitors saw the leader approaching, they also moved lightly.
Tiptoeing and keeping silent, he came closer.
Sticking close to the wall next to the door, Zuo Le took a sneak peek into the courtyard and shouted sternly.
"Shi Qingshan, if you have the guts, come out to me. If you don't come out, I will, I will... I don't dare to go in either..."
"Hahaha."
This sudden and amazing turn of events made Wu Yue on the side burst into laughter.
"I'm sorry, Director Zuo, I couldn't hold it back."
Wu Yue apologized quickly, but Zuo Le waved his hand indifferently, then returned to the monitor to look at his performance, and couldn't help but frown.
"The acting was a bit too hard, the expressions were more ferocious than funny, the rhythm of the movements was a bit wrong, and the tone of the lines was not too warm."
Although it was only a small supporting role, Zuo Le had very high requirements for his performance, and he set a bottom line for himself.
It's best to be better than your master, and at the very least, the performance cannot be worse than that of the original actors.
So, for a simple scene, Zuo Le was stunned and shot more than ten scenes. He also asked Bao Xiaoyong for advice on the spot, almost hoarse his voice, and finally managed to get a satisfactory shot.
Zuo Le's earnestness infected the starring actors who were watching the excitement. Chen Weidong, who also serves as the acting director of the crew, even said.
Although Zuo Le's acting talent is mediocre, he has a stubbornness that is rare for ordinary actors.
If he can maintain this motivation and work hard for a few years, he will definitely become a good young actor.
"It's a pity that I didn't discover such a good talent in advance. Otherwise, if I had trained him carefully for a few years, he would have been nominated for the Golden Dragon Award (China's highest film award) and the Golden Phoenix Award (China's highest TV drama award) before he turned 30."
Chen Weidong, who loves to be a teacher, looked at Zuo Le who was still filming not far away and couldn't help but sigh, but was mercilessly exposed by Wang Chao on the side.
"Take him down, Mr. Chen, you are still a golden dragon and a golden phoenix. Aren't you still working under someone else's hands? I think Director Zuo has a much better future as a director than as an actor."
Chen Weidong: "......"
The unabashed middle school boy is the most annoying!
