muscle actor

Chapter 7

After all, martial arts is still considered a technical job, and there are dedicated people to lead it. The action director is very good, and his status is second only to the director.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say: "The most pitiable thing is our extras. The work is really too much. I have been a dead person five times today!"

"Shooting from 7 am to 7 pm, it was extremely hot. Wearing long robes and mandarin jackets, top hats, the devils would run away when they chased them, and then they were shot by machine guns, fell down to their corpses, and tossed several times."

Everyone laughed, and there was a revolutionary feeling of sympathy for the enemy in an instant. In fact, Ding Cheng did not tell the truth. He only died twice today, and he even got mixed up with a small role and had two lines.

Now I am the sweet potato in the ensemble, claiming to be the face with the most scenes, because I have the care of the director and Wang Tian, ​​and I have a good relationship with the rest of the crew, as long as I have a role, I basically can't escape.

Excluding the fixed salary every day, at least six or seven hundred extra money, money is a trivial matter, mainly experience, especially camera scheduling and positioning, which have benefited me a lot.

Group acting is very complicated, there are three teachings and nine streams, gods, tigers, and everyone.

Most of them are bastards with no ideals to pursue. They eat enough to wait to die every day.

Then there are some local residents, many uncles and aunts have nothing to do, they come out in costumes, thirty or fifty every day, not only to relieve boredom, but also to earn some food money.

There are only a small number of people who really like acting, including graduates of various majors. Of course, they are all ordinary people.

Especially for war scenes, there is a great demand for group performances. Except for war scenes, this area has the highest labor cost.In the morning, Wang Tian pointed his nose and scolded a small group leader, asking to find a few hooligans, but the other party found a few vegetable dealers to make up for it.

As soon as the camera was shot, he walked with the same hands and feet, shaking every step three times, and the angry director scolded his mother directly!

"Are you saying it's weird or not?" Xiao Liu pointed to a few figures in the distance, and said disdainfully, "Did you see those Japanese soldiers? They are devils, who specialize in film crews and act like shitty officers everywhere."

Ding Cheng nodded, and listened to Wang Tian's name, Matsuda Junxiu, who was born in the island country and grew up in Osaka.His father was engaged in Sino-Japanese trade, and he and his family went to China to study at university six or seven years ago.

Now the audience is not easy to be fooled. In recent years, many Japanese actors have been used to act, and the language is also pure Japanese, which increases the sense of reality.

They never worry about not having a show, and many of them have become professional devils because of their hideous appearance, such as the one called Yano Koji in the early years.

I once chatted a few words, that guy also really likes acting, and he specially participated in the Beijing film interview. At that time, an examiner suddenly asked him what he thought of the history of the two countries after reading his resume?

Unprepared, my mind went blank, and I had to say in embarrassment: I can't answer this question.

In the end, he missed out on Nortel, and was finally admitted to the Broadcasting and Hosting major of Communication University. He was fluent in Mandarin, acted in many plays, and was very popular in Hengdian.

Ding Cheng has observed the other party. When playing the role of an officer, his chin is slightly lowered, his lips are tightly pressed, his eyes are slightly narrowed, and he looks forward from the bottom up, his expression will appear more fierce and serious.

Standing with legs spread apart, the front leg slightly bowed, one hand tightly holding the handle of the saber, frowning slightly, it will appear very vigilant, and it is most suitable for escorting prisoners.

The director likes to arrange some mature-looking islanders with beards who are over 30 years old to play the roles of military police who show a lot of faces.Those who are too thin and whose hair is dyed too light are often eliminated directly.

Even if you play the role of a police officer or an army officer, you are required to wear a hat, and the sideburns and hair on the sides must be shaved.Make the image closer to soldiers on the battlefield, with dark foundation on the face, which looks black and dirty.

The director asked the expressions and movements to be slightly exaggerated to imitate the brutal and ruthless image that the audience is familiar with.

I heard that a really big director has a big production, and even the extras have to be interviewed.The crew will first ask for photos from the extras, and send them to the director's team for a preliminary review, and only after passing the interview can they come to the interview.

"These bastards are seven or eight thousand a month, and they still include food and housing?"

"Our brothers are exhausted, and we can't get a hundred if we die a few times a day!"

"Hey, it's a pity that my parents didn't live up to it. If I was reborn as a beautiful woman..."

Ding Cheng stood up slowly, packed the mung bean soup silently, and left the group.The purpose of chatting is to learn more about the inside story, not to complain about others, and it is useless to say fart for a long time.

"Come here, kid!"

Suddenly someone called him, and seeing that it was Wuyou, he ran over quickly, and just started to set up the blasting point. Ding Cheng understood and stood nearby to peek.

Today I use a medicine head, which is about the same size as two or three match heads. The blasting force is strong, and it is not easy to break out fragments. The weakness is that it is not moisture-proof, and it is mostly used in the north.

If you are filming in the South, usually rubber hose gunpowder is used, which is less powerful and safer. It will not hurt even if the palm of your hand explodes, but the force is small.

Sometimes even the pyrotechnician has detonated the device, but the actors haven't felt it yet, and their expressions haven't kept up, so they have to reshoot.

Depending on the blasting power, which one to choose depends on how bloody the director's taste is, and whether the actor's costumes are thin or thick.

Today, military explosives are used, and the main event requires a huge scene. Ding Cheng has seen it several times and chatted with him. He knows that the shell of the bomb is mostly made of foam, and some dust is filled inside to create the effect of dust flying all over the sky after the explosion.

When the bomb is added to the ground, people have to walk three or four meters away to avoid accidentally injuring their eyes by the projectile.If the pyrotechnician operates in violation of the regulations and uses metal to make the shell, it will easily explode if it is not done properly.

In a really big scene, there are at least dozens of hot spots. If the actors do not follow the route, they will be injured when passing through the hot spots.

When shooting, let the actors be in place first, design the movements, and then ask the actors to go away, put the dolls in the same costumes in the same posture, and then detonate the explosives, blowing them up directly.

The dolls are all hollow, so close-up shots of the blown arm are needed, and materials are added in the hand, and after the explosion, it is switched to the shot of the actor, with a living broken hand, how disgusting it is.

This time, we are going to blow up several bunkers, which requires a lot of explosives. Lao He is specially in charge of playing the explosive master.Exploding a motorcycle is completely different from exploding a car, the range and safe distance are completely different, and the experience of a blaster is very much needed.

After measuring the data, Lao He and his assistants will first use props to conduct a test explosion at the place where the explosion occurred, to verify whether the safe distance is accurate?

In the case of ensuring the shooting effect, design the safest escape route and time for the actors, and after repeatedly confirming the safety, mark it to remind the director and actors.

All the arrangements were ready, the director personally called the actors over, and everyone held a meeting for in-depth communication to understand the intentions of both parties and establish a tacit understanding. Several leading actors moved their positions under the leadership of Lao He.

Hu Wenjun is okay, after all, he is an old Jianghu, and he does this kind of thing a lot.The other little fresh meats were full of nervousness, especially the female number one, whose face turned pale with fright, ran to the manager and muttered for a long time, and finally asked Liu Hongyi to stand in for him.

The second girl saw it, and also learned how to draw gourds. In the end, she had no choice but to find two substitutes. Seeing the director suppressing her anger, she probably had a lot of background.

The male actor didn't dare to say anything. After all, they were all old men, and the leading actors would all act in person, so they could only grit their teeth and bite the bullet.I heard Lao He said that when encountering this kind of scene, the actor's trust in the blaster is very important.

Escape the moment you press the blasting start button. It is impossible to escape quickly, let alone escape late. The most important thing is tacit cooperation.

Obviously seeing Lao He also heaved a sigh of relief, the less useless vases the better, in case something happens, I can't afford it, finally it's done, and I'm ready to start shooting.
