Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

The script came out too late. For the leading actors, they should at least get familiar with the script one week before the announcement.However, the four screenwriters of the drama "Ganxia, ​​Dongjun, Danniang" were assembled one month in advance, and they only started to watch the original work three weeks ago.Then the script was created for two weeks, and at least it was starred the day before the filming started.The script is quite thick, with about 50 words.

Tao Qingfeng didn't dare to procrastinate, resisting the drowsiness of the biological clock, and after a quick scan of the whole script, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.In fact, his speed is already very fast.

After reading it, due to too many changes and too much information, Tao Qingfeng's brain is still in a daze, dizzy, and it is very exhausting to sort out the main line.

The contents of the three books were combined.For this reason, the three books were dismantled to pieces, the characters were changed in various ways, and the events were changed in various ways... plus a lot of new content added by the magic reform.The change made Tao Qingfeng think...why buy the original work, it can be regarded as the original work by changing the name.

Tao Qingfeng couldn't bear it and fell on the pillow, his heart was full of confusion about the script, and he didn't even have time to think about how to act in the first scene of joining the group the day after tomorrow... His eyelids couldn't be closed, and he fell into a dark dream .

Tao Qingfeng had read a lot of original works, and had a dream. In the dream, Yu Shanhai took the beloved knife "Forgiveness" from the original work, stabbed himself, cut slices one after another, and roared at Tao Qingfeng: "Which slice! Yes! Me!" Tao Qingfeng was covered in cold sweat after waking up, and it was already seven o'clock in the morning.He had never gotten up so late before, hurriedly washed up, and went to the restaurant of Hengma Hotel to have breakfast.

The opening ceremony was held at nine o'clock. The crew had to burn incense and worship the gods, and even slaughtered pigs for sacrifices, which was quite superstitious.In addition to the three directors and four screenwriters he met that day, Tao Qingfeng also saw many actors who were about to collaborate.Some of them had to leave after attending the opening ceremony, and waited for a while before joining the group.

Many media also came to the scene to report on the opening ceremony.However, this web drama is really not a big production, and the attention is relatively low, so the media that come is sparse.Tao Qingfeng went to the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Shuitian Film and Television City to participate in the launch ceremony of "Queen of Guining", which was attended by the red carpet, concierge ladies, and various provincial media reporters, forming a stark contrast.At that time, there was even a photo of Zhong Yujiao's fixed makeup - specially arranged to be taken before joining the group.

The script of this crew was given to him only yesterday... Tao Qingfeng thought helplessly, forget it, let's do it for ourselves and do our best.

Tao Qingfeng was just thinking about it, when he was patted on the shoulder, turned around and saw a little girl wearing a white suspender dress and platform shoes, wearing a pair of sunglasses and holding an umbrella, she was pretty and said with a smile: "You are Brother Qingfeng."

Tao Qingfeng has read the introduction of the main actors, and this is Sun Wuyou who plays the leading role. Fortunately, he asked clearly yesterday what to call the young actor colleague-"Sister Sun Wuyou, please advise me." She shook hands.

"I'm still asking for more advice," Sun Wuyou said with a smile covering his mouth, "Brother Qingfeng is just like the recent rumors in the industry. He is very polite. Just call me Wuyou."

Tao Qingfeng actually hopes to have the opportunity to communicate and discuss with several main actors, such as character experience, such as the story line, such as script changes, so that the effect can be better for the play.Right now, he felt that he should seize the opportunity to ask. After all, Sun Wuyou will not join the group until next week, and she will be returning after attending the opening ceremony.

"I should ask you to teach me more," Tao Qingfeng said, "Wuyou, you have acted in many plays and have a lot of experience. Why do you think the role of Danniang is called a witch?"

Sun Wuyou exaggerated: "Brother Qingfeng, isn't it, you will have a discussion meeting as soon as you come... Isn't the title of the book the witch, Mei Ruoxue..."

Tao Qingfeng couldn't help saying: "It's Mei Wangxue."

"Well, I haven't got the script yet, so I don't remember very well." Sun Wuyou stuck out his tongue.Tao Qingfeng originally wanted to ask if you didn't get the script, didn't you read the original novel?He heard the next sentence that made him even more dumbfounded.

"I don't have time to play games... Is this drama adapted from a game? Is it a fairy tale drama?"

Tao Qingfeng said weakly: "Yes, it's a martial arts novel..."

"Oh yes yes yes, martial arts drama." Sun Wuyou said with a smile: "It's almost the same. I feel so excited to show coercion."

Tao Qingfeng didn't know how to answer the conversation, but at this moment, a thin man, half a head shorter than Tao Qingfeng, wearing a white jumper and sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, came to join their conversation.

"Yo, I'm late. What about the meeting? Qingfeng? Worry-free? I'm Tang Jiuhong."

This is Tang Jiuhong who plays the role of Dongjun. He belongs to the "flower handsome" appearance, with fair skin and sharp face.After the sunglasses are pushed to the top of the head, the hanging eyebrows and the red phoenix eyes that are rare among men are exposed, but the stature is a little short among the male stars, and it looks like it is only 1.7 meters.Tao Qingfeng was so delicate and handsome, standing next to him immediately looked sunny and heroic.

Tao Qingfeng shook hands with Tang Jiuhong, expressed his opinion, and said, "Jiuhong, I think your looks suit Dongjun quite well."

In the original novel, Dong Jun has the habit of throwing away the pearls and gems sent by the royal family at every turn, so many villagers will look for him near the mountain forest where he lives in seclusion.At the first time, I recognized him as a "fairy lady" and regarded him as a woman.With Tang Jiuhong's feminine and beautiful appearance, coupled with his short stature, Tao Qingfeng felt that if he put on makeup and stood with Sun Wuyou, he would be like a pair of sisters.

Tang Jiuhong said with a smile: "I don't think you look like Yu Shanhai. I read novels and thought he looked like a domineering president."

Tao Qingfeng thought he had misheard?Isn't a domineering president a modern description?What does it have to do with Yu Shanhai?Isn't Yu Shanhai a big-tempered character?But after hearing Tang Jiuhong read the novel, Tao Qingfeng still felt a lot of comfort in his heart, at least he was not like Sun Wuyou, who didn't know what he was acting.

Tao Qingfeng said: "Have you read the novel? In fact, there is Yu Shanhai's appearance in the novel. He looks like..."

Tang Jiuhong quickly said: "I haven't actually finished reading it, there are three, right? I just read one, which was sent to me by a classmate of Nanying. Dong Jun's "The Lost Love Record"..."

Tao Qingfeng was stunned again: "Isn't that book called "Hanhai Dongjunlu"?"

Tang Jiuhong was also taken aback: "Did I read it wrong? I mean, the emotional scene in that book is very strange. Yu Shanhai and Dongjun often rolled together... I asked the agent Saying that this is not a Tanmei drama, I thought it was going to change the original..."

Sun Wuyou laughed from ear to ear: "So that's how the domineering president came here hahahaha. What your classmate showed you is the same humanities, hahahahahaha."

Tao Qingfeng's heart was almost broken, and he had no expectations for the future of this drama.

This idea became stronger when I knew the work schedule for the first day.

On the first day of the start-up, Tao Qingfeng received a notice sheet, and there were fifteen notices.

Tao Qingfeng confirmed it several times, and asked Su Xun: Fifteen games?Not five games?Is it within a day?Not this week's work?

For the crew of "Queen of Guining", an announcement may take two hours.On the densely packed schedule right now, there are fifteen games scheduled for one day.Eight in the morning and seven in the afternoon.The time for each announcement is only half an hour.

Tao Qingfeng couldn't believe it, and picked out the scripts of each announcement—there were a lot of lines.

Although Tao Qingfeng has a super strong memory, he hasn't been able to memorize this 50-word script.Because these are all modern expressions, many of them are slang words, and the context is illogical.When Tao Qingfeng watched it the first few times, he became more dizzy the more he watched it.

Not only was he deeply ashamed of his inefficiency—it wasn’t his fault, but he could recite the ancient and elegant prose very quickly.But this kind of spoken language of pure modern people, you sentence me sentence by sentence, there are too many words, and the three original martial arts novels in his mind always pop up when he recites the lines: Shouting in his mind, this plot should have been That's how it is, which plot has been superimposed, and who is the male protagonist encountering...

The night before, Tao Qingfeng recited all the lines of the [-] announcements to be performed the next day at about one o'clock in the middle of the night.He woke up at seven o'clock the next day. When he woke up, his head hurt, his eyes hurt, and everything was wrong.

When going to the dressing room, Tao Qingfeng checked the time, it was indeed 07:30.But there was no one in the dressing room except for the cleaning aunt.According to the announcement, the first shoot started at 08:30, and Tao Qingfeng sat in front of the big mirror in the dressing room, waiting without saying a word.

The person in the mirror looked thinner because of his pale face.Tao Qingfeng rubbed his eyelids clockwise. This was what Zhong Yujiao taught him when he was on the set of "Queen of Guining", how to get rid of bags and dark circles under the eyes.Of course, the fundamental method is to go to bed early and take care of yourself.But... Tao Qingfeng smiled wryly, hoping to get better in a few days.

At eight o'clock, people came to the dressing room one after another, and they were surprised to see Tao Qingfeng came so early.The chief makeup artist said: "Qingfeng, you don't have to come so early, it will be fine at eight o'clock."

Tao Qingfeng remained calm and said, "Really, I thought it would be more troublesome to style the first day."

The stylist said lightly, "No trouble, just put on a wig after painting..."

The makeup artist applied base cream and powder to Tao Qingfeng's face. Tao Qingfeng's face was already pale, so the makeup was not very strong.Then the make-up artist took out a customized Yu Shanhai's long-haired headgear for Tao Qingfeng to wear.This is a wisp of hair on one side of the forehead, and the other side is pinned behind the ears. There is no crown on the top of the head, and it looks like a prodigal son.

Costume dramas are the most troublesome to take care of their hair.When she was on the set of "Queen of Guining", the stylist had to spray various lubricants and softeners after putting on the long wig every time.

But this time the wig was put on and left alone, Tao Qingfeng waited for a while, seeing that the makeup artist had already started cleaning the table, then looked at the curly end of the hair in the mirror and asked, "Don't you need to straighten it? "

Just when a director came to the dressing room, he yawned sleepily, and then took Tao Qingfeng's words and said, "No need, Jianghu people, please be more unruly. How can Jianghu people have time to take care of their hair?"

Tao Qingfeng didn't say anything, but what he was thinking in his heart was that if he was really a "realistic" Jianghu person, he shouldn't have long hair at all, and he would be caught in a fight, so he could just cut it short.Now that the styling is done, isn't it just for the audience to appreciate?And what is the reality of martial arts dramas? Tao Qingfeng recalled in his heart those Dengping crossing the water, stepping on the snow without a trace, and the lightness skills like gods are all imagination.But the gentleman is harmonious but different, and there is a disagreement in his heart, but he still keeps silent.

At 08:30, people finally came together sparsely, ready to start shooting.Tao Qingfeng unconsciously curled her hair, trying to straighten it, not knowing that the first day of this unreliable crew had just begun.

The night before, Tao Qingfeng stayed up until one o'clock in the middle of the night in order to recite the lines, and finished reciting the lines for the fifteen scenes.But he didn't have time to ponder each sentence carefully. He originally thought pessimistically: Today he will be repeatedly NGed on the set, which will delay a lot of time. Maybe he will have to work overtime and be delayed until late...

When he arrived at the shooting scene, Tao Qingfeng realized that there were many shots, and he didn't need to memorize his lines at all.He almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

In the first scene, Yu Shanhai went to the enemy country as an undercover agent on a snowy night, passed by a farm, and broke into a broken thatched hut in order to avoid pursuers.This is basically the same as the original novel.

The scene to be filmed is that Yu Shanhai thought that there was no one in the broken thatched hut, and his hand was injured, so he slammed the door open with his shoulder.

But Tao Qingfeng looked at the empty shooting site - the ground was covered with green cloth, the shed was also covered with green cloth, and there was no door, how could he bump into it?

Director A explained Tao Qingfeng's doubts: "Qingfeng, you don't have to hit the door. Group B is shooting the door."

Tao Qingfeng was even more confused. He was in group A, how could group B hit the door?

As a result, he only found out after asking.It is a stand-in, and there are three directors, divided into ABC groups. Group A is the chief director, mainly taking close-up shots of the actors themselves. Group B mainly shoots stand-in actions, and group C is on standby first, and will start work at the same time after other leading actors enter the group.Today, the director of group B is filming the double hit the door.Tao Qingfeng walked over and took a look. The field was also covered with green cloth except for a lonely door.It is convenient for post-cutting and compositing.

Tao Qingfeng asked Director A: "Why don't I shoot it myself?"

Director A said: "Qingfeng, you have so many scenes, how can you shoot every action. Don't worry, there are enough doubles, and there are three sets of clothes. Qingfeng, you stand still and make an expression first. We will record this expression... "

Tao Qingfeng resisted the discomfort and asked, "Which line should I start with?"

Director A said: "Whatever, the post-dubbing anyway."

Tao Qingfeng's eyes widened: "Whatever?"

Director A continued: "The script given last night, how can you memorize it. It's okay, just say 1234567..."

Of course, Tao Qingfeng couldn't really say 1234567, and said weakly: "Actually, I... have memorized it."

The director was stunned for a moment, and said, "Oh...then, well then, just tell me."

Tao Qingfeng recited the lines before hitting the door.After reciting it, the director didn’t say whether he recited it correctly (Tao Qingfeng seriously doubted that the director didn’t even remember the lines in this scene), nor did he care about his movements (since it was only a static big head, so he didn’t take it whole body), let him pass directly.Then take another shot.

Tao Qingfeng stood where he was, thinking messily in the wind, is this over?

Tao Qingfeng felt that if it was this kind of shooting, he could indeed finish fifteen scenes in one day.It turned out to be like this.

But this is really too... There are many times when he poses in a muddleheaded way, or shows a few changes in his eyes (this is probably the most difficult time), and the director lets him pass.Tao Qingfeng didn't even know which scene he was filming.Because the screenwriter changes the script on the spot every day, although it does not hinder his progress-in many cases, there is no need to speak lines at all.

Tao Qingfeng thought crazily in his heart: Even if there is dubbing in the later stage, how can someone else dub it if he doesn't have a mouth-shape picture? ?Later, I learned from the director's assistant's private explanation: where there is no picture, use the empty space, or don't show the actor's mouth shape... Please ask the dubbing teacher to start the performance with the line book.

Tao Qingfeng finally made a difficult but necessary decision after enduring three days of random shooting.
