acting substitution syndrome

Director Jiao has high requirements for this film, and lost his temper when the crew auditioned for the role.

Because the extras that the casting director found for him were not suitable for this play, although the extras he found were wearing dirty and tattered clothes, they didn't look like the peasants at that time at all!

Every face is a portrayal of a well-off life. Even if there is a farmer's simplicity, he is still a rich farmer.

In many cases, movies have high requirements for the leading actors, but they don't care so much about the group actors. It is convenient and fast to catch a few group actors and pay a daily salary.

For group performances, it’s fine to just walk the show on the street, and the audience doesn’t watch it anymore.

That's good enough for a normal TV movie, but for a big-directed, well-crafted movie, it's a big problem that mustn't be fooled.

The atmosphere of the movie is very important to the director.

You can't lead the lead role so hungry and skinny, and the extras too fat to walk!

What the hell!

The faces that appear in the movie must have ancient appearances!

The end of the Qing Dynasty!

No matter how much Robli looks like a person from the Qing Dynasty by himself, the people around him don't seem to be of any use!

Director Jiao lost his temper quite a lot. Although Director Jiao is usually polite and wears glasses, it is still very scary to get angry.

But the casting director was even more aggrieved: "Director, it's not that I'm fooling you, it's that I really can't find the kind of extras you asked for!"

Now that the national policy is good and the development of rural areas is faster, the kind of sallow and emaciated peasants requested by the director can’t be found at all. Find one that matches your requirements.

He also took a look at Robli: "For this reason, we even went to Xining, which is the impoverished mountainous area where Robli played the role of the village official. As a result, we saw..."

The people in the small town are fatter than him, a casting director who eats and sleeps in the open!

Robery thought about Fat Ya's figure.

"Director, I certify that what he said is true..."

Now it is really hard to find sallow and thin group performers, or let it go, there are also skinny old men in their 70s and 70s, but their job is not an actor, and they are not at the shooting base, so they can’t let the old people in their [-]s and [-]s take a plane The train jolted over just to take a few shots.

Jiao Dao thought about it, and finally made a decision: "Lose weight, the whole crew must go on a diet to lose weight from now on!"

Pay twice the salary to group performers, but they must reach the prescribed weight.

Strictly control the diet of the crew.

Thus, "Hua Gong 1863" was started amidst the loud complaints from the entire crew.

The filming arrangement of the crew is like this.

It is divided into Group A and Group B. Group A is where Director Jiao took Rob Li and other leading actors to shoot domestic clips in a small county in Anhui Province. Group B is the set location where the assistant director flew to the United States. While contacting the local government, Shot some sequences with less important foreign actors or something.

The place where Robli is located is in a mountainous area, and it is halfway up the mountain. There is no road, and the car with a low chassis cannot go up at all, so it can only park at the bottom of the mountain.

This place was originally a poor area, but later the policy was good, and a plain area was designated for the people in the mountainous area, and all the people were moved away. However, the topography and buildings of the old mountain village are still there, which is just convenient for shooting. Extra scenery.

There are a lot of mud houses in the village, the roofs and walls are broken, and the doors and windows are blocked with stones. The art teachers don’t have to make old ones at all. So the second day after entering the mountainous area, the crew began to get busy, shooting for the movie. Get ready.

That night, Director Jiao pulled up a stool in the earthen house and discussed the shooting plan for the next day with the main creative staff.

Just listen to the constant noise outside.

"What's going on, croak, are there any frogs on this mountain?"

"It's not a frog, it sounds like it's crackling and firing a cannon."

"Could it be that our drone has arrived, and the prop teacher is testing it..."

Props teacher: "How to test the flight, I'm in the room."

Director Jiao couldn't say a few words, but was interrupted by continuous voices outside, and had to get up to check: "What's the noise?"

I saw a row of actors wrapped in military coats squatting at the base of the wall outside the house, and the leader, Rob Li, looked down at his stomach.

There was a loud growl in his stomach.

"I can't direct, I really can't help if my stomach rebels..."

Before Director Jiao had time to speak, he heard the stomachs of other actors making overwhelming sounds one after another.

"Cuckoo cluck cluck..."

One night, I heard that the villagers at the bottom of the mountain went up the mountain with bird traps.

"There must be pigeons, I have been listening to them all night!"

……

"hungry."

"hungry."

"hungry."

The group performers complained together.

"Let me tell you, give me a cow now, and I can eat it."

"I can do it too, I can still eat up the restaurant, believe it or not."

"You said that we have lived at such an advanced age, except when we were young and our stomachs were empty, when did we suffer from not having enough to eat?"

"Now when I see birds, my first reaction is to shoot them down and eat them. When I see ant holes, my first reaction is to take them out to eat. When I see cow dung..."

Robbie: "Can you eat cow dung?"

"...It's not that I can't eat it."

Robbie's eyes lit up immediately.

He has no strength to shoot birds.

He has no skills in digging out ants.

Cow dung, he can do it!

……

As soon as Director Jiao walked out of the house, he saw such a scene.

"Don't, don't, don't!"

"No way, no way... Really no way!"

Lobri was pinned down tightly, a pile of cow dung a centimeter in front of him.

"I'll just take a sip, isn't that enough!"

……

Robbie is starving.

Really, I am so hungry that my eyes shine.

Chen Zhuo was in the same room with him again, and when he got up in the middle of the night, he saw Robli staring at him, like a hungry wolf aiming at its prey.

A faint voice came.

"To eat, or not to eat?"

"Thigh or tenderloin?"

Chen Zhuo: "Help me, ogre."

……

Robli didn't lose weight to 55 kg. In fact, when he lost weight to 57 kg, the nutritionist strongly suggested that he should not lose any more weight.

The person who is 1 meters tall stood upright towards the base of the wall, and people believed that it was a farm fire stick.

Fans came to visit the set and left crying.

The main reason is that Robry said in the group that he lost weight, but no one in the group believed it. With his usual urination, this guy probably tricked fans into bringing him snacks when he visited the set.

As a result, the fans brought a large bag of snacks, and they really saw that Robbie was as thin as a skeleton.

On the day of the key visit, I happened to be filming the scene of offering sacrifices to heaven.

……

This scene is about a severe drought in the villages on the Huaihe River, and the gentry leads the people to pray for rain.

The ground is full of smoke, and the black smoke smoke used by the pyrotechnic master.

This smell is inherently stinky, and many people can't stand it. During the performance, the camera swept over it several times. For one reason or another, the group performers couldn't help covering their noses or staring at the drone that was shooting on their heads. So I couldn't pass it seven or eight times in a row.

Big deal reshoots.

But Robli's role in the scene is that he is the main character in worshiping the sky. He has to kowtow ten heads in one play, the kind of knocking on the ground to express his sincerity.

The fans watched with their own eyes that Robery kowtowed to the ground over and over again, his thin body could hardly hold up the last time, as if he was about to fall down in the next second.

The director also didn't feel comfortable watching behind the camera, the key is that the group performances were really not good, they were sparse when kneeling, there were people looking around, and there were a lot of gaps.

Robrey lowered his head and said nothing.

When the director yelled the beginning again, Robbie, who had been silent just now, suddenly yelled, put his hands on the slate, and bumped his head against the slate.

It was a real head bump, not a kowtow. This posture stunned the group performers behind them. There was no sound at the scene, and there was a thumping sound of Robbie bumping his head, which was as powerful as a glass window that was shattered during an earthquake.

Within a few seconds, as the first extra performer knelt down, all the extra performers involuntarily knelt down and kowtowed.

The camera captures the past, over and over again.

……

When the director re-watched this scene, he saw that the picture, performance, and action effects were all perfect, especially Robrie's performance, with the feeling of veins bursting on his thin cheeks, and he immediately drew a character who hates the sky and injustice.

"Good acting, good acting!"

The key is that Robli's silent but powerful move stunned all the extras.

Usually, everyone was joking and joking, no big or small, and thought that Robbie was not as easy to get along with as a celebrity, but when they came out, they suddenly remembered the status and abilities of this actor.

Do you think this is called playing big names?

Is this called Xiba?

It depends on how you define it. If you can really suppress the whole crew by acting, then that is your ability.

Since then, the loose crew has not performed any group play more than three times.

Three times, definitely pass.

……

Robli took a sip of the water sent by a fan and wiped the blood from his forehead.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's better to be thinner, and it's not like I haven't lost weight before," Robli comforted: "... I will take on a fat monk with big ears in the next film, okay, I will do what I promised."

Robli joined the group for more than 20 days, and became more and more silent every day.

Even when Chen Zhuo teased him, he didn't talk much.

Director Jiao is very satisfied anyway: "It looks like the actor and the character have merged into one. This kind of silence is just the externalization of the character's heart."

Director Jiao's plays are deeply influenced by New Wave movies, and he advocates the externalization of actors' inner emotions. What he wants is Robbie's feeling.

Chen Zhuo was stunned when he heard this, and secretly thought that this guy, Robli, had indeed entered the depths of the role.

In the evening, he specifically asked Robrie: "What does the director mean when you say that your heart has become externalized? You can also give me an acting class, and give me a small lesson."

Robry raised his head dully: "Huh? What externalization?"

Robbie said blankly, "I'm too hungry to speak."
