Chapter 175 Shooting
There are many actors in "Nine-rank Sesame Official" and they join the group in batches.
Bai Xiaofei is the starring and director, of course, belongs to the first batch. Wei Xiang also has many scenes and stays in the crew throughout the whole process. Others like Jiang Wu, Li Naiwen, etc. will join the crew in the second batch.
Tang Xiaoyu is filming "Jigsaw Puzzle". Director Zheng Xiaolong hates actors to play, but this is a play in Bai Xiaofei's studio. Xiaobai said that it will take five days, so he just let it go. She should join the group in the third batch...
As for the young lady and Li Kaixin, these two people are just idle. No, it should be said that they come here to experience the crew environment in advance. The young lady has only two weeks of schedule, and Li Kaixin has almost two weeks. After all, the studio is now supporting her and taking on a lot of scenes!
According to the actor's schedule, Xiaobai needs to finish filming the plot of Piaoxiangyuan first, and then film the plot of the troupe...
...
In the morning, after coming out of the room, Xiaobai walked straight to the dining hall. The most famous thing in Yuezhou should be breakfast!
They call it morning tea!
In the original time and space, Xiaobai came to Yuezhou and went to see an old friend in the local area. The thing I remember most clearly was that the old friend actually woke him up at 7 o'clock in the morning and drove for two hours, specifically for breakfast...
The young lady has sat down and is drinking porridge.
"You lose weight? Eat so little?"
"…I'm hungry, but I don't dare to eat too!"
The young lady touched her belly a little depressed.
"Go to the gym to practice for a few days, and you will not have any worries anymore!"
"I won't go!"
After chatting for a few words, the young lady remembered something and asked, "Why don't you look for Liu Yifei to film? Don't you like her very much?"
"Looking for her to act in a vase? You can come up with it!"
The young lady looked at me and Xiaobai continued to eat dumplings. The thin-skinned shrimp dumplings here tasted really good.
In a sense, this is also the dilemma of traffic actresses turning to the big screen. It is unlikely that they can hand over the roles with a little depth. Vases or something, they are too expensive...
Unless you are bringing funds into the group, it is unlikely that you will give them good roles!
Of course, the agent has the ability or has great resources to support it. In other words, it belongs to RMB players...
"Hello director, hello sister Yang Lan!"
The couple was drinking porridge, and Li Kaixin brought a bunch of things and sat over.
"Yo, get up!"
Xiaobai introduced: "This is the newly signed little sister from our company, Li Kaixin, 18 years old!"
"…Hello."
Yang Lan was stunned for a moment before getting up and returning the gift. She pinched Xiaobai without any trace...
Xiaobai was a little confused. What did this have to do with him? It was all Chen Baolian’s arrangement!
...
At noon, the sun is just shining.
This is a street in the Ming and Qing style. To be precise, it is a market in the Ming and Qing style, restaurants, cloth shops, groceries, mules and horses, and various small vendors scattered around.
Nanhai Film and Television City has really put a lot of effort into gathering these people!
Xiaobai is a detail control. Although "The Nine-Ranking Sesame Official" is a comedy, it must be done with the feeling of the late Qing Dynasty!
There were dozens of extras on the scene, and they were all silent at this moment, looking at the group of people in front.
The ceremony of worshiping the machine...
Of course, Xiaobai himself doesn’t like these ceremonies very much, but the movie needs publicity, and a slightly grand ceremony to worship the press can make the press release look better...
The director is in the center, and next to him are photographers Cheng Ma Zhiyuan and Wei Xiang. A incense table is placed in front of him. The main camera is covered with red cloth, as well as roasted suckling pigs, gooses, fish and some seasonal fruits.
Xiaobai is from mainland China. Logically speaking, he should not know how to worship Gods. However, he had been with the crew in Hong Kong before, and the process was still very clear. He held incense in his hand and saluted to the southwest direction, chanting: "The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are protected by gods and Buddhas from all directions, and help me to be safe in the new film "Nine-rank Sesame Official" and the crew is safe."
After he finished worshiping, everyone followed suit, worshiped in turn, then cut the pig's head and peeled off the red cloth...
When it comes to watching the gods on the computer, it looks very feudal, but in fact it is a kind of gratitude for Hong Kong filmmakers.
'We worship cameras, not worshiping gods and asking for blessings, but thanking, thanking the film industry for appearing and giving us opportunities to start work. At the same time, we are grateful to the predecessors in the industry for us to create a good era so that people like me can make a living without starving to death. The process of worship is to remind ourselves that we are only a small part of the movie. It is so lucky to have the opportunity to stand here and work with so many people. At the same time, we tell the cameras our wishes with a pious heart. We hope to remind ourselves not to let down those who give us money to make movies, nor to let down those who are willing to spend money to buy tickets to watch movies!'
"Okay, "Nine-rank Sesame Official" starts!"
The staff responded and went to prepare.
Xiaobai is planning to add some more life-oriented shots to "Nine-rank Sesame Official", such as selling cloth, shopping, cutting tofu, family matters, etc., of course, these are all for the main line service.
For example, in the early stage, you can add some people to hate Bao Longxing, which can be seen through some conversations. In the middle stage, you can also add some conversations to express everyone’s expectations for Bao Longxing;
These scenes need to be filmed in a concentrated manner, otherwise they will be very, very disbanded. Fortunately, they can be left to the assistant director for filming these scenes!
The deputy director is Zeng Jiang, who is twenty-six years old. He has been with several groups and is considered an experienced and smart person.
The scene when starting the filming scene is a plot where Bao Longxing goes shopping and is despised by thousands of people!
Of course, Bao Youwei and Ruhua are following him...
The role of Ruhua requires an ugly star. Xiaobai originally wanted to find Wang Xun, but the latter was unhappy and had no choice but to choose an ugly actor from Qingyi Club, named Li Renjian...
The three of them had already changed into costumes and put on makeup, and just waited for filming to start.
I have to say that Liang Tingting’s skills are really not something to cover. The clothing design is very consistent with the sense of the times and is very comfortable to wear!
The crew was ready, the actors walked to the camera, stood up, and scored a beating of the board:
“Action!”
The camera first gave the stinky tofu rolling oil. Several people next to him were pinching their noses while asking about the price.
"Hey, there is stinky tofu. I haven't eaten it for a long time. Youyi, go and buy a few!"
“…”
Wei Xiang was stunned and did not respond...
"Click!"
The executive director hurriedly called for a stop.
"What's wrong?"
Xiaobai looked at Wei Xiang in a little surprised. He really didn't expect that the first time "Nine-rank Sesame Official" was because of him!
“…No, your voice…”
Wei Xiang wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.
"sound?"
Didn't you notice it just now and imitate the grouper?
However, the grouper dubbing has taken a lot of credit to the reason why Stephen Chow became popular in the mainland...
Chapter completed!
