Big players in the film and television world

Chapter 204 Learning to Act
Originally, the shooting time was ten days, but because of Kang Zhuang's pursuit of perfection, it took ten days to finish the shooting. Next, he had to go to Beitang Village, Linhai City, Zejiang Province to shoot the second part of the scene.

Kang Zhuang divides the play into four parts, four locations, the first part is Yanjing, the second part is Beitang Village, Linhai City, Zejiang Province, the third part is the Iron Hammer Regiment of the Lanzhou Military Region, and the fourth part is the Sirius Brigade , are the prototype places and troops of the book "Soldier Glory".

The author of the novel "Soldier's Glory", Lei Long, was born in the Hammer Regiment of the Lanzhou Military Region. He is a soldier. It goes without saying that he has military qualities. What's even more rare is that he has a brilliant literary talent. When he was a soldier, he frequently released press releases. On the group army military newspaper.

However, when he first served as a cultural officer, he promoted his work with physical ability, both civil and military.

Because of the publication of "Soldier's Glory", Lei Long had a bright future and was transferred to the group army as a cultural officer. However, a few years later, he took the initiative to transfer to the original unit as the commander of the third battalion.

Because he has always been a soldier in his bones, a 35-year-old major, at the battalion level, and in terms of his fifth year of promotion, his promotion is extremely fast.

As for Huang Zhong's prototype, he is actually Yuan Feng, the acting platoon leader of the Iron Hammer Regiment's First Machine Company, but his personality has blended into Thunder Dragon himself.

Huang Zhong, Chen Shuai and Kong Ergou are all based on Yuan Feng and Thunder Dragon.

These are all written in the postscript of "Soldier Glory".

Kang Zhuang was authorized by Leilong to shoot "Glory of Soldiers", and he didn't pay any copyright fee, Leilong didn't want it, but Leilong had one condition, the shooting location must be the real location in the book.

It is true that the salary of an officer is not much, but it is more than enough to live on. What's more, Lei Long is a pure soldier and regards the glory of a soldier above all else.

The Sirius Brigade, also the special forces he had trained, had deep feelings.

Not to mention the Hammer Group, a second home.

During this period, Suning also invited Hu Jing back for a meal. After the two had a wine fight, they met rivals and their friendship deepened.

Hu Jing is also very interested in the crew of "Soldier of Glory", and there are not many such pure scripts.

As a result, there was a little inaudible ripple in his heart lake, but it was just inaudible and unknowingly.

The seeds of military movies have been quietly planted.

One day, it will become a towering tree.

After filming the Yanjing scene, seeing Chen Shuai driving with the crew and making fun of himself, Suning naturally wouldn't admit defeat, immediately asked Director Kang Zhuang for leave to go home, and drove the Santana 2000 to Beitang Village in Linhai City.

Anyway, the magic capital is neither far nor close to Lin Hai, so Kang Zhuang naturally has no objection to this, but is rather pleased that the crew can have an extra car.

Beitang Village is very backward. Not to mention computers, there are even some black and white TVs in the village. This is also the hometown of Thunder Dragon.

Chen Shuai is from Yanjing, with a wealthy family. He is full of curiosity about such a backward village, as if a full man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry.

The village is full of criss-cross dirt roads. Without concrete roads, it will be muddy when it rains.

Weeds are overgrown everywhere, snakes, insects, rats and ants are full of five poisons, especially mosquitoes, which are densely packed like locusts.

Compared with the harsh military training in Yanjing, the harsh environment is simply nothing.

Spring and summer alternate, and the weather is getting hotter. When Chen Shuai got out of the car, he felt a wave of heat blowing towards his face.

Because it was Saturday, the elementary school students and junior high school students who were playing around in the village gathered around curiously and excitedly after seeing the vehicles of the film crew and the people getting off, their faces full of excitement.

Chen Shuai was dressed in fashion and wore a pair of very handsome sunglasses. In the eyes of this group of primary and middle school students, he was simply synonymous with handsome guys. He spoke childishly and uttered all kinds of praise and evaluation words one after another.

"This is the city people."

"Are they going to make a movie?"

"That big brother's clothes are so handsome, and he's so cool."

"..."

Chen Shuai couldn't help but feel a little carried away when he heard those words of praise and evaluation of himself.

At this time, Wang Xiaoqiang walked towards Chen Shuai with Suning.

Chen Shuai smiled triumphantly: "See, the eyes of the masses are discerning, children will not lie, I am a handsome guy, haha."

Wang Xiaoqiang ignored Chen Shuai's narcissistic words, just quietly looked at the backward houses around him, and said with emotion: "I haven't been to the countryside for a long time, this place feels like my home."

Suning agreed: "That's right, we are all country folks."

Chen Shuai pointed at Suning and argued, "If you, a man from Shanghai, still say you are a countryman, then there will be no city people in this world."

Su Ning smiled and said: "My hometown is in the fringe area of ​​urban and rural areas. Even if I bought a house in the city, my household registration is still a rural household registration. Unlike you, Yanjing people, Yanjing urban household registration, going to Yanjing University is like adding wings to a tiger."

Chen Shuai smiled wryly. He thought he was a sharp-tongued person, but when he met Suning, he was useless.

Not long after, officials from the official organization of Changfeng Town, which Beitang Village belongs to, rushed over. They were all very happy that there was a crew in their jurisdiction to shoot a TV series, but they left after a few condolences.

The official organization of Linhai City didn't respond, because except for Wang Xiaoqiang, no one else was a well-known actor. Even Chen Shuai was only a little famous in Yanjing's circle.

The circle of unknown actors is actually quite distinct.

For the villagers of Beitang Village, when the production crew came to their village to film a movie, it was a matter of smoke rising from the grave. The village head Lin Hong warmly entertained the crew and said with a pat on the shoulder that if you have any request, you can talk to him and promise to do it. arrive.

Kang Zhuang also personally visited Lei Long's parents, a pair of honest farmers.

For Lei Long's son, the old couple is proud from the bottom of their hearts, three times for third-class merit, and once for second-class merit. Every time the victory news from the armed forces comes, the old couple is not to mention how proud they are. This is a good thing that the ancestral grave smokes. And not just once.

Under the arrangement of the village leaders, the film crew lived in the villagers' homes and did not live in the hotels in the city. Chen Shuai actually didn't want to live in the village, but Wang Xiaoqiang, the protagonist, lived in. He was also a little embarrassed. Heaven and man have been fighting for a long time, and under Suning's kind provocation, they finally decided to live in the village.

Wang Xiaoqiang, Chen Shuai and Suning live in Lei Long's house. The old couple are very welcome, because the eldest daughter is married and the youngest son is a soldier. Take a look at home, what's the use of that.

As long as there is time, Suning does not hesitate to take the initiative to take three meals a day at the old couple's house.

Partnering with the villagers' homes made the field work a lot easier. Of course, the money that should be paid is still given. Even if the villagers refused to accept it, Kangzhuang still resolutely sent the field staff to distribute it one by one. It must be too much. But for the cost of buying box lunch, it is quite cheap.

Suning's cooking skills not only satisfied Leilong's parents, but also praised his craftsmanship as a master chef. It also made Wang Xiaoqiang and Chen Shuai happy from ear to ear. The meal time every day has become what they look forward to the most. .

At night, dogs bark all over the village.

In 04, the law and order in various places was not very good, so in the countryside, almost every household had a dog.

Fortunately, there are no night scenes, otherwise these dogs would be a headache.

At the dinner table, Wang Xiaoqiang and Chen Shuai wolfed down the food under the yellowish light of the incandescent lamps, looking hungry, as if they had never eaten in their entire lives.

Suning joked: "Eat less, you are acting as soldiers, and you will eventually become a special soldier. If you eat fat, it will ruin your image. Director Kang will definitely order you to lose weight."

Wang Xiaoqiang replied naively: "I don't have a problem, I practice every day, even if it's not for a long time, I won't gain weight."

The chopsticks that Chen Shuai just stretched out suddenly stopped in mid-air. He is not a person who likes to exercise, and his frame is relatively large. If he eats too much, he may really gain weight as Su Ning said.

Without hesitating for long, he gritted his teeth and swore inwardly that it would be a big deal to get up and run in the morning every day.

Lei Long's parents looked at the three energetic young people eating, with amiable and bright smiles on their faces. I don't know how long it has been, but they have always been the husband and wife at the dinner table, and it is not lively at all.

Wang Xiaoqiang was not from a major, so Kang Zhuang was most worried about him. Therefore, he first filmed Chen Shuai's solo scene. Among the three, Kang Zhuang was the least worried about Chen Shuai's acting skills, because in Yanjing entertainment circle, Chen Shuai It can be regarded as a small drama.

Chen Shuai's scenes were filmed very quickly. He fit the role of Chen Cheng very well, even better than Suning and Kong Ergou. Of course, his own acting skills also played an important role.

Suning is a real performance.

After Chen Shuai's solo scene was filmed, it was Suning's turn.

Now we are filming the scene in which Suning's character Kong Ergou solemnly swears to his father and grandfather that he must excel in the military camp.

Kong Ergou, played by Suning, has a father who has retired from the military, and his grandfather has also retired from the military. Therefore, he has been under militarized management since he was a child, and his words and deeds are all military style.

However, something unexpected happened during the filming.

Suning's strong military temperament made the actor who played Suning's father a little overwhelmed.

"Card!"

Director Kang Zhuang immediately stopped the camera, and said to the old actor: "What's the matter with you? I see that you don't act like Suning's father, but like his younger brother."

The old actor said obediently: "Director, Suning is too imposing, especially those eyes, the light that shines is like the wrath of thunder!"

Kang Zhuang replayed the camera, looked carefully, and found that Suning's acting skills were too extroverted, and he didn't know how to restrain himself. In the camera, Suning, who was clearly not a soldier, acted like a veteran who had experienced many battles, with that fierce aura , the deterrence is indeed strong enough.

At the same time, the filming scene was already surrounded by villagers, big and small. Except for the students who were working and studying, most of the people in Beitang Village gathered here, watching all the crew members who were filming the scene intently.

Beitang Village is not big, and the news spreads very fast, and there are no entertainment projects in this village, and there are only one or two households with computers, so when they learned that there was a film crew filming, they were all confused. Yang ran over.

Kang Zhuang has long been familiar with this. He has been a director for more than ten years, and he has experienced too many such things. To be honest, he is not used to the pursuit of fame and fortune in the entertainment industry. He shoots movies and TV dramas just for the ratings , while ignoring the most fundamental feelings.

He didn't need to think about the military drama "Soldier's Glory" to know that it was a bit difficult to get on the stars, and he could tell if he could return to the original.

If the ratings are good and the word-of-mouth is good, you may be able to make a small profit, and the actor in the play can also improve his reputation, and he can also increase his reputation. If the ratings are poor, then he will definitely lose money.

Because this involves a series of follow-up situations such as carousels and network copyrights.

Kang Zhuang looked at Suning and pointed out: "Su Ning, I know you are excellent, and Kong Ergou in the play is also excellent, but your temperament is not so complete at this time, you have to accept it, and I will give it to you." Think about it for yourself for half an hour."

Su Ning nodded, went to sit on the stone pier at the door, and began to think about how he should perform.

The crew paused and waited patiently for Suning.

On the stone pier, looking at the black soil under his feet, Su Ning felt that he had overestimated himself a bit. Fortunately, his previous self had a personality like this. Let's recall it.

Half an hour later, Suning performed as he did, and the scene ended successfully.

The days passed day by day. During this period, Suning humbly asked Chen Shuai for advice, which made Chen Shuai regain a little sense of pride.

The scenes were filmed smoothly, Suning became more and more comfortable, and his acting skills have also been greatly improved.

But this also reminded Suning that even if the character fit is very high, it cannot be performed in its true colors, and it will only fall into a dead end. If Suning has not had enough experience, maybe a "Soldier Glory" will be finalized up.

After Suning's solo scenes were filmed, it was Wang Xiaoqiang's solo scenes. Because he was the protagonist, Wang Xiaoqiang's roles were of course the most and the most difficult.

In particular, the character of Huang Zhong does not fit so well with Wang Xiaoqiang, and it will be a little difficult to interpret it.

Therefore, Kang Zhuang temporarily modified part of the character of the protagonist without changing the plot.

After Kang Zhuang revised the script, Wang Xiaoqiang's performance became smoother, and sometimes, Kang Zhuang couldn't tell whether he was Wang Xiaoqiang or Huang Zhong.

Chen Shuai is an active person. When he has no part in the show, he drives his Audi A5 car every day to play "God" in a large Internet cafe in Linhai City, except for the morning jog to eat an extra bowl of rice. He never tires of it .

Suning is not as unrestrained as Chen Shuai. Chen Shuai dared to do this because he has the confidence to play the role of Chen Cheng well. Suning is different. In some scenes, he still can't perform perfectly, so he needs to practice.

For Suning, the most difficult scene was the scene where Kong Ergou sacrificed his life to save Huang Zhong. It was the most emotional scene, and if it was not performed well, it would be easy to mess it up.

In the trunk of Suning's car, there are actually a lot of acting books, so it is very beneficial for Suning to read these books every day.

Know at least one concept of performance, and how performance can mobilize emotions.

Gradually change from natural performances to methodical ones.

After the filming of Wang Xiaoqiang's solo scenes, there are not many remaining scenes here, and the filming can be completed in about seven or eight days.

On the first day, there was only one scene for Suning, and that was when Kong Ergou stood up for Huang Zhong and fought with Chen Shuai. The two fought and admired each other's skills, and they became good friends.

This scene was not difficult for Suning, but it was difficult for Chen Shuai. Suning's terrifying skills made him a little frightened. Fortunately, the action director and Suning kept comforting Chen Shuai, so the scene was successfully filmed. .

But even so, during the fight, Suning's instinctive reaction made Chen Shuai suffer a lot.

After finishing work, it was exactly 11 o'clock in the morning.

on the way back.

Chen Shuai and Suning complained: "Ah Ning, are you really trying to kill me? If you don't make five dishes and one soup for me at night, there will be no end."

"Handsome guy, you can eat whatever you want." Suning scratched his head in apology.

Wang Xiaoqiang said enviously, "Why didn't Aning and I play?"

Chen Shuai immediately became complacent, which is something you can't envy.

Back outside Leilong's house, Suning opened the car door and was about to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Chen Shuai accompanied him with a smile, and he pretended to pick up vegetables for Suning, but in fact he was monitoring Suning, fearing that he would perfunctory himself.

At the vegetable market at 11 o'clock, there were actually not many people, but none of the stalls were closed. According to what Lei Long's mother once said, most of the stalls in the market closed at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Chicken, duck, fish and meat are all available, and vegetables and radishes are also essential, with comprehensive nutrition.

After driving back, after the meal was cooked, Chen Shuai, who had no part in the show, had a full stomach. Wang Xiaoqiang didn't dare to eat too much because he still had a part in the play in the afternoon, and felt a little regretful.

Thunder Dragon's parents were all smiles recently, but when they heard that Suning and the others were halfway through the scene and were not far away from each other, they looked reluctant to leave.

This made Suning feel a little emotional. Sometimes, money can't make up for the vacancy in the soul.

It also reminded him of his sister Su Xin.

I wonder if she is living well now?

Thinking of this, Su Ning suddenly felt that he seemed to understand what acting was.
