Bright Era of China Entertainment

There are countless ancient buildings in the Hengcheng film and television base, and the most magnificent one is the palace hall.

In the past, many production crews with palace elements used this as the scene, but the shooting angles were different, giving the audience the illusion that the palace halls of each drama are different.

But over time, the same scene appeared in film and television dramas for many years, and it was gradually discovered by attentive audiences.

For this reason, the current production crew with palace elements must either go to other film and television studios to capture this scene, or arrange some props to change the layout of the scene, or hang green cloth on the wall outside the main hall, and cut out the picture later to change the style.

The crew of "Legend of Red Flame" also did the same. Under the arrangement of the teachers of the props team, this scene that has been filmed by many crews, not to mention a new look, but the picture presented is different from the corresponding scenes of the film and television dramas on the market. .

The front square paved with gray and white stone bricks is vast and majestic, and the unified pure white railings are carved with jade. The seemingly unattainable steps are clean, neat and solemn. feelings.

Auxiliary soldiers patrolled back and forth with good looks, and maids who stooped slightly and lowered their heads while walking silently.

In this folk impression, the feeling in the palace is coming.

"Report—"

A soldier was running quickly, his face was covered with sweat, he obviously looked exhausted and embarrassed, but the soldier's expression could not conceal his excitement.

The soldiers on patrol heard the sound and stared, seeing the running soldier holding a red flag and raising it high, which was a notification of a particularly urgent situation for the country.

The soldiers on patrol didn't dare to hesitate at all, they all made way and stood in two rows.

The palace ladies walking beside immediately stopped, not daring to raise their heads, trembling.

In the main hall, the emperor and a group of generals and ministers were silent, stopped discussing state affairs in the court hall, and turned their heads to look outside the hall, waiting for the sudden emergency report.

After a while, in the eyes of everyone, the messenger soldier emerged from the steps. When the whole body appeared, he was obviously very tired and did not dare to stay for a while, and rushed into the hall.

With a sound of "plop", the soldier came to the center of the hall and knelt down. His kneeling posture was a bit messy, and his hands and feet were slightly shifted, which made the soldier almost fall over.

None of the generals and ministers present made a joke, and the soldiers summoned urgently should do so.

The soldier straightened his posture, prostrated himself on the ground, put his head on the ground, gasped for breath, and did not dare to look up at the emperor.

"Report to Your Majesty, a great victory on the southern front!"

"In the fifth month of that year, Southern Chu sent [-] troops to invade the frontier, and Princess Nihuang of Yunnan Palace led [-] soldiers to meet the enemy."

"In June, [-] troops from the front of the Chu army attacked from the front, but in fact they secretly divided their troops into three routes and disappeared, and then gathered at the Nanhe Ferry in an attempt to sneak attack on our grain road."

"Princess Nihuang had noticed it a long time ago, and dug embankments to store water to wait for the bandits. In the end, the water flooded the entire army and killed [-] enemies, and the rest fled."

"In the seventh month, the general of the Chu army learned that the division of troops was defeated, fearing that they would be harassed by the troops from Nanhe Ferry, so he ordered the front army to retreat fifty li."

"Princess Nihuang planned a strategy and set up ambushes in Qingpingling, the back road. When the front of the Chu army arrived, they set fire to the mountain and burned the seven bandits of the Chu army. Five thousand enemies were killed, and the rest fled."

"In the last month, Princess Nihuang led the main force to chase after the victory. The Chu army fled without fighting in panic. There was no food, no fire, and no armor. There were [-] people who came, and more than [-] who returned. The door is closed, dare not take a step!"

"In this battle, we have won all the battles, and our national prestige has greatly increased!!"

The entire hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard, only the soldier's panting sound could be heard.

But no one would blame him, only seeing that the faces of the generals turned from shock to joy.

"Good!!" The emperor got up from the dragon chair and smiled.

"Crack!"

"Pass!!"

In a corner of the square, several sheds were set up to block the sun, and under the sheds was the space for the director team.

In front of the monitor, Kong Sheng put down the walkie-talkie, glanced at Li Xue, and at the producer and director of photography, Mr. Hu Mingwei. The three most powerful people on the crew nodded in satisfaction.

"Who is this special guest actor? It's really good." Ren Quan praised the extra actor who played the messenger soldier.

"Indeed." Chu Xuan nodded, and Concubine Liu Yi applauded with everyone.

Although there are not many scenes with a good start, there are still difficulties.

The ensemble performer ran wildly from the beginning to the end, showing that tired and eager feeling, and showing a little excitement because of the great victory.

Then because I was too tired from running, the chaotic movement of kneeling was also very real. In the end, the fast but clear tone of the lines should make people feel nervous, and the ending should make people feel excited.

"If it were us, we probably wouldn't be able to play him in this scene." Chu Xuan shook his head. This group of actors is really good.

Kong Sheng turned his head and said with a smile: "He specializes in acting in this kind of play. I heard from Director Yang that he has acted in it for five or six years. Few people have more experience in this kind of play than him."

Director Yang is also the casting director.

Hearing what Kong Sheng said, everyone nodded slightly. With so many years of experience in the same scene, it's no wonder the acting was so good, and it was also regarded as a good start by Kong Sheng.

The group performer came back from the set. Twenty meters away from the director's team, with his armor still on, he took the money from the production team with a smile on his face under the sun, and thanked him with a nod and bow. .

Chu Xuan looked at this scene, put down his encircling hands, and walked towards him.

Concubine Liu Yi was blowing air with a small hand-held electric fan. Not only her, but almost all the friends nearby had one. The weather was too hot, and it was really unbearable without a fan.

Seeing Chu Xuan leave her side suddenly, she looked around curiously, and while blowing on the fan, she followed with steps.

"Brother, what's your name?"

Li Bo was a little stunned, he didn't expect Chu Xuan to come to him.

"Li Bo."

"Go and do your work." Chu Xuan said to the production team. This person didn't expect that President Chu would come to find an extra performer, but he didn't see anything to do, so he left.

"The scene just now took five or six years?" Chu Xuan asked.

Li Bo wondered, not knowing the intention of Chu Xuan's question, and seeing Concubine Liu Yi walking slowly, maybe because Concubine Liu Yi was so beautiful, he scratched his head shyly after looking at Concubine Liu Yi.

"Correct."

"Why do you specialize in the same kind of play?"

Li Bo still didn't know what Chu Xuan meant, but it was a rare opportunity to communicate with big people. He replied: "There are many roles suitable for group performances, but the competition is also great. One's energy is limited, and it is impossible to play all the small people at the bottom. , might as well just focus on two or three characters.”

Chu Xuan nodded, and said, "Only study two or three characters, so can you guarantee to live every day?"

Li Bo smiled shyly: "I'm lucky. I'm a little famous in the Hengcheng group show circle. There are many historical and ancient dramas. As long as it's a messenger soldier or a shop boy, I have a half and a half chance of getting it." .”

Chu Xuan patted him on the shoulder: "Then you are considered to be a leader in this circle. But if you act so well, why only have half and half chances, and the other half?"

Li Bo was a little helpless: "Many production crews don't pay much attention to the extras, as long as the performance is almost enough, anyway, the number of scenes is pitifully small, and the audience will not pay attention to the extras, so sometimes the crew will choose ordinary actors to save money. Bar."

"How much is your salary, and how much is the general group performance." Chu Xuan asked.

Li Bo raised the money that Yang had just received: "One hundred and fifty, and the maximum for group performances is eighty."

Chu Xuan nodded slowly, the gap was still quite large, almost doubled.

But if he was allowed to choose, judging from the effect of the scene just now, he would decisively choose the group performance of [-], and he would simply ponder the characters to the verve.

"Are there many people like you who specialize in a few roles?" He asked again.

Li Bo was taken aback, what does this mean?
"Not much." He shook his head, and said honestly: "Only when the special research is in place can we have food. If it is not in place, it's better to follow the crowd and not waste time. There is no choice for what role to play, but at least you can have enough food. "

Chu Xuan understood, what to do and what to do, passively choose, this is also the normal state of group performances.

"Okay, I'll waste your time." Chu Xuan patted him on the shoulder: "Go and get a piece of watermelon, you're sweating."

Li Bo wiped off his sweat, feeling a little embarrassed, looked at the iced watermelon cut in the canopy, he swallowed, and when Chu Xuan spoke, he couldn't help but trot over temptingly.

Concubine Liu Yi followed Chu Xuan around and walked slowly, holding a small fan to blow the wind, and glanced at the backs of the group of performers: "Do you have any other thoughts?"

Chu Xuan twisted his sore neck, and said: "Look at the scene just now, you, Princess Nihuang, have been highlighted as the center before you appear on the stage. When the audience sees this scene, they will Although I don't see you, the heroic figure of a wise female general emerges in my mind."

"Although the atmosphere is helped by the teachers' reactions, it also needs Li Bo, the group actor, to be in place, so that the teachers' reactions will be just right, and the effect on your role will be perfect."

"If all the extras in the whole show are at this level, do you think the texture and quality of our works will be better?"

Concubine Liu Yi nodded, understanding what Chu Xuan was thinking, and turned her head to look at Chu Xuan. Sweat was seeping from under Chu Xuan's temples. She used a fan to blow on Chu Xuan, and then picked up a paper towel to wipe Chu Xuan.

She said: "Just now Li Bo also said that there are not many such ensemble actors, and the characters in each drama are different, how can it be possible to find high-level ensemble actors?"

Chu Xuan took the fan from Concubine Liu Yi's hand. The weather is too hot in this hell. He took the fan and blew it on his face: "Our sci-fi movie plan includes the magic movie plan I mentioned before, as well as the one I expected. The Shan Hai Jing Alien Beast film project, each film project has the same view of the universe."

"Under the assembly line of the film and television industry, many roles are fixed, including a large number of secondary roles."

"Then, let a high-level group performer like Li Bo figure out the character roles we need. Let these group performers play the role of the whole series, and improve the quality of the work from the sensory details."

"Our special effects are not as good as Hollywood, so find a breakthrough in the texture of the actors, and maybe there will be miraculous effects."

Seeing Concubine Liu Yi's fan being taken away by Chu Xuan, Zeng Ni handed over another fan.

Concubine Liu Yi took a fan out of Zeng Ni's hands, thinking about Chu Xuan's words while blowing the air.

"The dragon set looks inconspicuous, and the audience doesn't pay attention to it, but sometimes, when we look at a film and television drama, we have a feeling that this movie is better than that movie, but what is good? Unable to speak."

"Yes, that's how it feels."

Chu Xuan said: "It's the details that the audience won't pay attention to, but they can feel it. Although they can't feel the reason, it is enough to have this kind of subtle influence, which is very helpful for the brand effect of Bright Times. , It also helps to improve the quality of our works."

Concubine Liu Yi nodded, looked at him and said, "Then what are you going to do? Spend money on training?"

"Sister Zeng." Chu Xuan called out to Zeng Ni, and pointed to Li Bo who was not far away: "Go and ask for a phone call."

Zeng Ni raised her eyebrows, feeling baffled. She didn't know why Chu Xuan wanted the extras to play on the phone, but after Chu Xuan said so, she followed the instructions.

"He must know some people like him. When we filmed "Hope", we asked them to try it. There are so many disaster scenes, and the special effects belong to the special effects.

"If it works, we can set up a guild of group performers to train group performers of specific professions." Concubine Liu Yi came up with an idea.

Chu Xuan tilted his head and looked at her: "Heroes see the same thing."

Concubine Liu Yi smiled, and blinked her right eye provocatively at him. (end of this chapter)
