Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 18 The Drama Begins
In a play, a big scene with 80 or [-] people cannot be filmed just as it is said.

The preparatory work to be done is particularly complicated.

This is especially true for a big drama like "Dragon Babu".

In the play "Join Shaolin", there are so many characters that appear on the stage, perhaps there is no film and television drama that can compare with it.

Shaolin, Xingxiu faction, Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry and the Xiaoyao faction who appeared later, and other heroes from all walks of life may not be many in number, but they are all leading the way.

Just like a group of monks in Shaolin.

Just like the group of Xingxiu School who beat gongs and drums and played suona.

Just like the heroes from all walks of life in Juxianzhuang.

Another example is a group of female disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Looking at it this way, there are more people at once.

If there are too many people, there will naturally be a problem.

Where should Shaolin people stand?Where should the people of Juxianzhuang stand?Where should the peripatetic people stand?
There are no such details in the original work, and the screenwriter will not write these descriptions that do not match the plot.

This depends on the performance of the director, combining the venue and the plot to arrange the actors in place like a formation.

This arrangement is complex.

It is impossible for important characters like Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to stand still in one position in the camera. These important characters need to move.

But how to move, which direction to go, how many steps to take, whether to walk out of the camera, all these are considered and particular.

It depends on whether the director has a deep understanding of the script and whether his directing skills are strong.

the following few days.

Under the control of the director team, Chu Xuan discovered that there were no more than one hundred and no. counted.

The weather is a bit hot these days, and everyone is sweating profusely on the set from 8:6 am to [-]:[-] pm and obeying the schedule.

From standing, to walking, to rehearsals again and again, to the preparation of all props, it took a full seven days.

At noon on this day, all the actors were ready to take their positions, and began to prepare for the opening of this big drama together.

……

The sun is shining brightly.

As mid-April approaches, the weather in Zhejiang Province is getting hotter and hotter.

The crew was crowded, with more than a hundred actors and hundreds of staff busy all around, the scene looked a bit spectacular.

"Wang Yuyan."

On the set, Chu Xuan looked at Concubine Liu Yi who was looking left and right in the crowd, and shouted with a smile.

Concubine Liu Yi turned her head when she heard the sound, her eyes lit up when she saw Chu Xuan.

Concubine Liu Yi picked up her white skirt and trotted, as if she was wearing a white dress, she passed through the crowd and came to Chu Xuan's side.

Concubine Liu Yi stroked the hair around her ears, and raised her smiling face as if she had found an organization: "There are so many people."

Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Follow your cousin closely, don't run around."

Concubine Liu Yi blinked at him: "Good cousin."

After a while.

Lin Zhiying, Zhao Yong, and Xiu Ge also walked over, and everyone stood still within the predetermined position arranged a few days ago.

At this time, Lin Zhiying said to Concubine Liu Yi: "Concubine Yi, I thought about the script, and I also checked with Director Yu on the play, and I came up with an idea that needs your cooperation."

"What idea?" Concubine Liu Yi turned her head to Lin Zhiying and asked curiously.

Lin Zhiying smiled and said: "Duan Yu and Murong Fu got separated, and when Duan Yu went to Shaolin alone and found them, Duan Yu would go to their place, right?"

"And then?" Concubine Liu Yi nodded.

Lin Zhiying stretched out her hand and gestured: "I will come from here, and I will take a look at you when I come here, and you can just return my look."

Concubine Liu Yi glanced at the route Lin Zhiying was gesturing, and suddenly asked in confusion: "You come here as soon as you come, why should I take a look at you?"

Lin Zhiying explained with a smile: "I am Duan Yu, you are Wang Yuyan, if you take a look at me, this can also add some drama."

Hearing this, Concubine Liu Yi thought for a while, then raised her innocent face: "But I don't think I should look at you."

"Why?" There was some doubt in Lin Zhiying's smiling eyes.

Concubine Liu Yi pointed at Chu Xuan, and said, "My cousin is more handsome than you. I won't go to see him to see you. This doesn't conform to the most basic aesthetic logic."

"Haha~" Zhao Yong and Xiu Ge standing behind Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi laughed instantly when they heard Concubine Liu Yi's words.

Chu Xuan also raised a smiling face: "Brother Zhiying, I really want to comfort you, but I think there is nothing wrong with what my cousin said."

Concubine Liu Yi smiled sweetly, and winked at Lin Zhiying.

Lin Zhiying raised her hand to her forehead, smiled wryly and waved her hand: "Let me be quiet."

After ten days of getting along and playing against each other, these actors have become more and more familiar with each other.

But jokes are jokes, and the performance that should be coordinated cannot be ignored.

Although Concubine Liu Yi is young, she is very cooperative in this regard.

While Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi were chatting and laughing, the big drama was about to begin.

"Hu Jun, start now or go through it again?"

At the position where the main camera was aimed at, Zhang Jizhong asked Hu Jun.

Hu Jun thought for a while: "I'll go through it again, if the route is not wrong again, then start shooting."

Zhang Jizhong complied with Hu Jun's request, and asked the scene recorder to shout with a loudspeaker: "Qiao Feng will go through it one scene at a time!"

A scene refers to the first scene to be shot in the current scene.

One shot refers to the scene that the actor needs to shoot for the first shot.

Going through once means that the actors walk through the cutscenes by themselves under the established positions and routes.

The scene notes say this to tell all the actors that Mr. Hu has to go through the first shot of the first scene by himself. All the actors are asked to cooperate and calm down.

And the core point of "Dragon and Ba Bu", the big drama "Join in Shaolin", was officially opened after Qiao Feng appeared on the stage.

Mr. Shen Junyi, who played the role of Ding Chunqiu, and Cheng Hao, who played the role of Azi, also cooperated with Hu Jun's play, and they made a gesture of Ding Chunqiu kidnapping Azi.

"Brother-in-law—is that you? Help me!!"

To be honest, looking at so many TV drama versions of "Dragon Babu", Chu Xuan thinks that only Cheng Hao's Azi's "brother-in-law" shouted out the essence.

In the previous life, Chu Xuan's memory of Zhang Jizhong's version of "Tian Long Ba Bu" included Ah Zi's "brother-in-law", and his memory was still fresh.

In this scene, Hu Jun's Qiao Feng is also the most domineering in the whole scene. As soon as he entered the scene, he waved his hands and shot a coerced group performer flying from the air.

Then, Hu Jun looked directly at Shen Junyi, with a domineering attitude, and walked towards him like a tiger. Teacher Shen Junyi's eyes trembled in cooperation.

"Who are you?" Hu Jun walked up to Cheng Hao, and suddenly twitched.

Cheng Hao was dumbfounded.

"Hahaha--"

All the actors burst into laughter.

"You're so annoying! I'm full of emotion to cooperate with you, you give me this?" Cheng Hao laughed angrily after he realized it, and kicked Hu Jun with his leg raised.

"I'm trying to brighten up the atmosphere." Hu Jun hid with a smile, turned around and walked towards Zhang Jizhong.

"Brother Jun is so funny." Concubine Liu Yi covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.

"Under normal circumstances, the more serious an actor is, the funnier he is in private." Chu Xuan laughed.

Lin Zhiying and the others were also overjoyed, and nodded in agreement with Chu Xuan's point of view.

After all the filming, there is no problem with Hu Jun, and Zhang Jizhong also decided to officially start filming.

"[Qiao Feng Appears to Rescue Ah Zi], one scene at a time!"

No matter what film and television drama it is, in a big drama like "Join in Shaolin", it is basically edited by many scene scenes behind the scenes, and there is rarely a single shot to the end.

In order for the group performers and staff to quickly understand the current scene and the situation that is about to be filmed, the more professional the crew is, the more particular they will be at this point. They will name each scene and let the scene writers shout it out to let the actors know .

As for the scene record, the hundreds of actors present, no matter the actors or the important actors, immediately raised their spirits, including Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.

However, the protagonist of this scene is Hu Jun, and the fighting scene between Hu Jun and Shen Junyi. There are not many shots of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, but in order to match the atmosphere of the scene, they also interpret the demeanor that suits their respective characters.

Hu Jun is the film king, and Shen Junyi is an old drama player.

The rivalry between these two people is very exciting, and the filming is also very easy.

By the time of dinner in the afternoon, the fight scene where Qiao Feng rescued Ah Zi and Ding Chunqiu had passed smoothly.

After get off work, the actors dispersed.

"Chu Xuan, it's time for you, Murong, to make a comeback tomorrow. Be handsome! When playing with Brother Jun, show your momentum and destroy him!" Cheng Hao said with a smile.

"My good sister, you put me under a lot of pressure by saying that." Chu Xuan smiled.

"I don't believe it." Hu Jun grabbed Chu Xuan's shoulder and smiled as he walked: "Others don't know your level, but I have witnessed it with my own eyes. Show your best state and show Brother Jun."

Chu Xuan said with a smile in his eyes: "I will work hard."

As the sun set, a group of actors walked down the mountain talking and laughing.
