Chapter 38: Injured while filming
"I'm convinced you!"
Huang Xiaoming gave Yuan Hua a thumbs up.
Before I started reading the script, everyone thought that Yuan Hua, a "singer" who brought funds to the group, was not good. She sang every day a month before joining the group, so how could there be such an actor?
Professional actors usually read scripts and make biography of characters.
If you are more attentive, you will experience the role yourself. For example, if you are playing sales, you will go to sell houses and cars, and you will play a farmer, so you will live in the countryside for a month.
Yuan Hua was so good that he recorded songs every day for thirty days in a row. His voice was hoarse and he didn't know if he had time to memorize lines.
But whenever he read the script, everyone was shocked by him. He didn't read the script from beginning to end, and he would talk about it.
Today is even more exaggerated. I actually cut seven or eight boxes of pears to practice for a two-second shot.
This kind of professionalism is rarely seen even after Huang Xiaoming filmed for many years.
"Haha." Yuan Hua smiled and said, "Isn't this afraid of being embarrassed in front of an excellent actor like Xiao Ming and Teacher Li, so I put some effort into it, it's nothing."
"I'm so humble, I don't even work as hard as you."
"Xiao Ming, prepare for it, the next game is up to you."
Not far away, the assistant director was shouting.
"Okay, let's not talk, I'll go there first."
More than ten minutes later, Huang Xiaoming's scene started filming.
It was also the same scene at the train station, and Xu Wenqiang walked out in a crowd of people, with a rude face and a little gray, but he could not resist the protagonist's temperament at all.
He skillfully cut open the match skin, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, deep and melancholy.
Seeing him spitting smoke rings on the spot, the director frowned and did not shout.
Yuan Hua stood outside the field and watched. When he saw Huang Xiaoming still pretending to be handsome even when he was filming a scene, he couldn't help but smile.
Xu Wenqiang is a smoker. He has been holding it on the train for so long. It is normal to take a few puffs after getting off the train, but there is no such idol. I am afraid that I have never smoked cigarettes at the train station.
In him, Yuan Hua still didn't let go of his idol's burden, or did not understand the role of Xu Wenqiang thoroughly.
Four versions have been filmed in Shanghai, and Yuan Hua has seen each version. The most famous versions are Chow Runfa and Zhao Yazhi. He guessed that Huang Xiaoming has also seen them.
Because Huang Xiaoming's acting method is directed at Zhou Runfa.
But he only learned the handsomeness and elegance of others, but not the forbearance and elegance of others.
"Card, pass!"
"The next game, Yuan Hua and Xiao Ming are ready."
I took a few shots from different angles. An hour later, the director shouted to be the one who was preparing to shoot the next scene.
"Extras, the extras are in place, hurry up, do you want to do it anymore!"
"Remember all martial arts. Don't hurt people later. Don't make mistakes in the movement. Lying down when you should, and dying when you should. Whoever dares to toss and turns will die, get out of here!"
"Come on, let's practice moving first."
Taking advantage of Yuan Hua and Huang Xiaoming's makeup, the assistant director had a very experienced lead to the extras to start moving ahead.
After so many years of working in this industry, he knows the thoughts of some extras, especially those who have watched Zhou Xingchi's movies.
He daydreamed with the self-cultivation of an actor all day long, hoping to become the second Wang Baoqiang, haha, naive.
If you have no money, no connections, no background, no luck, you will be a special actor in this life, and you will be able to earn 200 yuan a day.
Soon, Yuan Hua, who had finished making up, walked to the set to contact the extras and asked him to make tricks.
"Brother, I'll hold my hands firmly in a while."
His opponent is a gangster holding a knife. The knife is a plastic knife. If he scratches his face, he can disfigure him.
"I'm not afraid of fists and feet, I mainly rely on this face to make a living."
"Don't worry, Brother Hua, we have all practiced it and will not hurt you." The extra actor held a sword flower in one hand and responded with a smile.
"Are you a martial arts?"
In Xiangjiang, martial arts are called Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Master, and they have their own group, Cheng Family Class, and Hong Family Class is like this.
"That's right, I'm usually a supporting role."
"Is that so great? I wish you can play the role."
Many people tend to mix extras with extras, but in fact, extras are much better than extras.
Extras are the most tiring and lowest-paid person in the crew. They cost 30 yuan a day, and there are no cameras or lines during filming.
What is better than the extras are special actors who can show their faces. Some have no lines, and some have lines. In costume dramas, the protagonists eat in the inn, drink and chat with passers-by in the table next to the table and the table behind.
The shopkeeper at checkout, the vendor shouting at the street stalls, and the doorman at the restaurant entrance were also special appointments.
So, don’t look at the passerby who only says a few words or shows his face a few times, such a role is a popular one for extras.
Among the special actors, the more advanced people can occasionally receive supporting roles, such as playing and making jokes with the protagonist and then being fucked to death, palace maids around the concubine, eunuchs who pass on the orders, etc.
This type of supporting role has lenses, lines, and scripts. After the TV series is broadcast, you will be lucky enough to see the name at the end of the cast.
It's only one step away from the supporting role.
It is a character that many people can't even grab.
For the sake of being a supporting role, some girls in the extra may also drink and eat with the assistant director, and at night, they will find a hotel and hotel to chat about the script all night.
"I will work hard with you." The young man was encouraged by Yuan Hua and was immediately full of energy.
"Everyone is ready, and the shooting will start in five minutes."
At the scene, the director's voice came.
While chatting with the extras, Yuan Hua made tricks with them. Five minutes later, the shooting began.
Yuan Hua still underestimated the first fight scene in his life.
The reaction of being punched, the state of falling to the ground, and the power of hitting people, is not simple.
After NG, Yuan Hua couldn't hold back. This was only his, not counting Huang Xiaoming's more than ten.
In this scene, he was charged with protection fees and fought with gang gangsters. Xu Wenqiang, who left the station, helped him fight back, so Huang Xiaoming had more fighting scenes than him.
During the break, props were redesigned to the venue. Huang Xiaoming brought Yuan Hua a bottle of water and laughed and said, "The fighting scenes are like this, but there is no one left. Just get used to it."
"Thanks."
"Card, pass!"
Half an hour later, the exhausted Yuan Hua finally heard the sound of nature.
"Change another camera, and have another one."
"Change another camera, and have another one."
"Change another camera, and have another one."
"Patch force face close-up...arm close-up...a long-range pull one."
There was a folding chair at the scene. When the director called out this scene, Yuan Hua lay on the chair and didn't want to move.
He finally knew why martial arts dramas in later generations were no longer popular. The directors all like fairy tales. The protagonist stood still and raised his hand to be like the 30-meter sword energy special effect.
It is also slow motion when fighting, so you have to drive three times the speed to see it.
There is no way, who says that martial arts scenes are tired, the actors are tired, and the director is tired.
Yuan Hua is quite good, with good physical fitness, and fatigue is secondly. He also suffered a little injury. When an extra kicked him, he didn't pay attention and mentioned Yuan Hua's finger.
A little finger bone thrust outwards on the spot. Fortunately, the medical staff of the crew helped him break it back. There was no big problem, but it really hurts when he broke it back.
It’s just that Weibo hasn’t appeared yet, otherwise he could take a selfie and post it. Gu and Shuijun said in the comment section that his brother is really dedicated and distressed, and that this is how good actors should be.
Chapter completed!
