"Princess, be elegant and noble!"
The former etiquette teacher also came to the set. In order to make her feel more involved, she also put on an old grandmother's headgear and also put on ancient costumes. She sat on a small stool at the door with her back hunched and her hands folded.
"Chew your food carefully, chew five times on the left side and five times on the right side."
When he was practicing his manners before, Ni Bingyan was puzzled. Where did this weird rule come from?
The etiquette teacher told her that the ancients ate like this since childhood, which could prevent the masseter muscles on both sides from developing at different levels, causing the face to grow crooked.
A symmetrical face and a dignified appearance are in line with the aesthetics of the ancients.
Well, I don’t know what the real ancient times were like, that’s the setting in the movie.
Ni Bingyan always felt that he had done a good job, but the teacher was a devil, picking out details to the point of being picky.
His appearance is very funny, not only because he is disguised as a woman, but also because he does not wear makeup.
A grown man in his thirties, his voice is not rough, but it has nothing to do with the old lady, and it makes people laugh every minute.
At the beginning, everyone came to watch the fun. Ni Bingyan wanted to laugh, but in the end he held it back.
Because Mou Dao stood aside with a straight face, staring at her:
"You have to be calm, the mountain collapses in front of you, but the color remains unchanged. You have to play a Neptune. You have faced the Shura field many times, and you have passed through it with strong psychological quality. Do you know?
"I'm not ill-treating you. When we start filming later, you will know how effective it is to adapt a few days in advance.
"Moreover, there is a madam next to Jiuli, who is like a drama queen and is responsible for the comedy of the whole drama. If the laugh point is too low, it is inevitable that he will laugh a lot during filming."
It was rare to see him explain a few words, and Ni Bingyan was almost flattered, okay? How could there be any objection?
"You're right!"
It can be said that there is no moral integrity.
Life is difficult, but fortunately she is not the only one who needs this, other actors also need to adapt to their identities in advance.
Rigorous adapted well, probably because he brought a cat into the group.
As soon as he took off his costume, he immediately hugged his black and gray tabby cat and patiently stroked it from beginning to end.
That posture is more embarrassing than raising a daughter.
A complete cat slave.
Compared with him, she was simply a scumbag who had thrown her wealth away from the Sang family for a long time.
When they were going through hardships, the crew treated every actor fairly, which made people feel better.
Except for the professional requirements, which are a bit high, life is pretty good.
Ni Bingyan has been through so many film crews, and the living conditions in "Zuishenglou" are considered top-notch.
Once you get used to it, life here is actually not difficult.
Soon, it was time to officially start filming.
Generally, on the day when the crew holds the opening ceremony, they will shoot one or two simple scenes to warm up in order to have a good omen.
But Mou Sanyang didn't.
In his words, the day of the opening ceremony was a mess. There were many outsiders. The actors were tired for most of the day and were out of shape. They were in a hurry and the scene could not be arranged perfectly. What good things could be shot?
After the opening ceremony, the crew had a good rest for a day, and prepared for the whole day the next day. When night fell, they started filming the first scene.
This scene is not simple. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the highlight of the entire movie.
Because this is the first appearance as an oiran after the Jiuli Kingdom was broken, and she sneaked back to her old capital many years later.
This is an exquisite two-story building.
The first floor is a seating area separated by green plants, and the second floor is a partition separated by screens. The guests are semi-encircled, surrounding the circular stage in front.
The stage is high, and a girl in a pink dress comes downstairs cutely, with a fan covering her face lightly, looking naughty and smart.
She was obviously well-dressed, but her clothes were close to her body and her movements were ambiguous, which made the guests stare blankly and they even forgot to speak.
Mou Sanyang's aesthetics are truly exquisite.
The atmosphere at the scene was really wonderful!
Especially behind the stage, behind the dim lanterns, there are rows of musicians playing the soundtrack.
The high-end feeling of the scene is very different from playing music directly when practicing dance in the company.
After dancing, Ni Bingyan even felt that being able to dance on this stage was a blessing in this life.
The extra actors playing guests in the audience waited for her to finish dancing, and after a few seconds, they stood up and slapped her hard under the leader of the group!
Looking at the reaction at the scene, Ni Bingyan covered his face with a fan and immediately retreated to the backstage when the light dimmed.
This stage was designed very exquisitely. It did not use modern equipment, but it achieved the light and shadow effects of a modern stage. It was all because there was a mechanism on the top that could move the lanterns covered with white gauze.
When the courtesan leaves the stage, the lanterns will be pulled by ropes to the door of the box on the second floor, and the stage will darken.
The dance teacher was also present today. She had been standing next to Mou Sanyang. Seeing her perform the dance perfectly, she also had a smile on her face.
This means that her job is done perfectly.
As a result, Mou Sanyang was not satisfied.
"What's going on with the costumes? They were made a year in advance. Why did a pearl fall out halfway through the dance?"
The oiran lady is well-dressed, but there is no lack of care in every detail.
For example, her waist was decorated with a circle of pearls. As she danced, the circle of pearls rose and fell on her small waist, exuding an indescribable temptation.
Dropping a pearl is not a big deal in ordinary movies, but in Mou Sanyang's eyes, this is a flaw that cannot be ignored!
The dressmaker trotted over and took out spare pearls to sew for her.
Ni Bingyan finally saw why some people collapsed because of filming with Mou Sanyang.
After the pearls were sewn, she adjusted herself and started dancing to the music again.
When she danced, she was thinking that she should stop being so messy this time. If she wasn't tired, the musical instrument teachers in the audience should be tired.
As a result, after this filming, he felt that Ni Bingyan's positioning was not perfect enough and the camera could not capture her most beautiful side.
I still think that I can get through with just one or two dances. I am really too young and don’t know this director well enough.
Ni Bingyan filmed this scene from nightfall until twelve o'clock. The teachers who played music in the audience all complained that their cheeks hurt, and Mou Sanyang frowned and shouted:
"We'll finish the work today and continue filming tomorrow."
I'm actually not satisfied with what I took today.
No wonder it only takes a month or two for other people to make a movie, but he initially set a six-month deadline and couldn't guarantee the deadline.
where did all the time go?
The director strives for perfection again and again.
Ni Bingyan's legs were weak from dancing. When she returned to her residence, Duanmuli quickly stepped on her legs. Otherwise, let alone dancing tomorrow, it would be difficult to walk!
"It's so overwhelming right from the beginning. It's a bit overwhelming. Hey! Let's find a simpler scene to shoot!"
Ni Bingyan gritted his teeth and waited for Duanmuli to step on his legs before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not like you don't know about Director Mou? The movie in his head may have been staged. He has to film in his own order. You'd better stop talking about this. He will be unhappy if word spreads."
Ni Bingyan sighed heavily and lay on the bed.
"Forget it, we have to shoot anyway, it doesn't matter whether we shoot early or late. Hey! I want to see what kind of effect he wants!"
