It's past nine o'clock at night, and the crew hasn't finished work yet.
In Hengdian, there are many crews like them who are holding night shows. In order to keep up with the schedule, the whole crew even has food and accommodation on the set.
After all, there are not many teams like "Little Li Flying Knives" that have the financial support of Baodao's big boss and the assistance of mainland production units.
Most crews have no money at all, and in Hengdian, the daily rental fee is a huge expense. Crews without money can only seize the time to shoot and leave as soon as they are finished.
Comparatively speaking, as the chief director, Yuen Heping is very humane. Except for certain night scenes, he usually calls it a day and calls it a day. There are occasional delays and overtime pay is never bad.
But now I can't care anymore.
Although the drama introduced by Lu Feng was still missing, Yuan Heping did not dare to be careless.
If Zhang Chu really gets the role, and the crew over there is eager to start filming, will Zhang Chu be allowed to run on both sides?
No matter how tolerant Yuan Heping was to Zhang Chu, he was never ambiguous when it came to issues of principle.
Let alone Zhang Chu, how about Cheng Long? What about Hong Jinbao?
When filming his scene as Master Yuan Ba, no matter how big his skills are, no one can even think about cheating on him.
Once you join his crew, you can only focus on one thing.
But when it comes to Zhang Chu's future and his own principles, he can only let the whole team work hard together.
These days, working overnight has become the norm.
The whole crew was complaining secretly, but Zhang Chu, the main character, acted like nothing was wrong.
This level of intensity could not be sustained by others, but it could not faze Zhang Chu.
In the past, even if he didn't sleep for several nights, he would still be able to kill the target with one strike after finding the target.
At this moment, Zhang Chuzheng and Jia Jingwen were sitting side by side on a stone bridge in the scenic area. One of them was holding a firework in his hand. The two of them were waving it casually as if they were careless.
I don’t know what the purpose of adding such a prop to this scene is to express?
Still childlike?
Nonsense!
Regardless of whether it is an original work or a script, the character setting of Ah Fei is that his parents died when he was young, and he grew up alone in the wilderness, relying on his talent and understanding to invent his own quick sword.
Such a person can have a shitty childhood.
But this is arranged by the director, and as an actor you can only follow it.
Zhila...zila...
The first time I played it, it felt really interesting!
"You..."*2
The two spoke at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled.
"You speak first."
Jia Jingwen smiled sweetly and lowered her head slightly: "You better say it first!"
"good!"
Zhang Chu tried his best to relax physically and mentally, because his next lines made him sticky to his teeth from the first time he saw them.
"Xiaohong, I am a martial arts practitioner and I don't know how to beat around the bush. Isn't it because my elder brother is in trouble that you came to see me?"
This sounds sour.
"When I got the news, I wished I could come here right away, but I'm really afraid... of seeing you!"
Jia Jingwen gave Zhang Chu a hard look in her heart, pretending to be an innocent little boy.
He is obviously a dangerous big bad wolf.
"What for? I'm not a poisonous snake or beast."
"You are scarier than a beast!"
Zhang Chu is indeed still very immature when it comes to filming this kind of literary drama. However, if he wants to be a qualified actor, he cannot be in front of the camera in every drama.
He is studying, already studying hard.
Take a deep breath.
It's coming, it's coming, it's coming.
Zhang Chu tried his best to appear affectionate and did not look at Jia Jingwen. Instead, he looked at the camera and said to himself: "Your smile and frown often appear in front of me and I can't get rid of it."
People who are far away can't notice it, but Jia Jingwen is sitting next to Zhang Chu and can see clearly. Because of the discomfort, Zhang Chu's hand keeps clenching, loosening, clenching, and loosening again...
He suppressed a smile and said, "Isn't it settled now? You and I are good buddies!"
The camera almost hit Zhang Chu’s face.
"Xiaohong, why do you never grow up? We will never be good friends. I miss you because I love you!"
Ugh~~~~
It's over now, I'm going to vomit!
Zhang Chu didn't know how he said the last three words. As soon as he said them, goosebumps immediately appeared all over his body.
Fan Bingbing, who was watching from the side, was also very awkward, and his arms kept shaking.
"Bingbing, what's wrong?"
The speaker was Yu Feihong, who played Yang Yan, the fairy in the play.
Compared to Xiao Qiang, who has left the group, she is the real beauty. The beauty from the inside out, and then from the outside in, her aura can blow up ten Xiao Qiang instantly.
"Nothing, nothing, I just feel... too disgusting!"
Yu Feihong was stunned when he heard this, looked at Fan Bingbing, and thought: Is this child not sick?
As an actor, you may encounter any scene, any plot, any lines. The actor must be involved in the character at all times. This is the basic quality of an actor.
I just said "I love you", but the reaction was so big?
Zhang Chu couldn't hold it any longer, and so did Jia Jingwen, but both of them were holding back, and neither one wanted to act first.
Even though her heart was shaking like a sieve, Jia Jingwen still had to force out a surprised expression.
Zhang Chu continued: "I want to marry you."
Jia Jingwen's face was full of panic: "A Fei, I..."
Before she could speak, Zhang Chu smiled self-deprecatingly: "I know that I am not as versatile as my eldest brother in both civil and military affairs, but the most beautiful wife in my eldest brother's heart will always be Lin Shiyin, not you."
This scene was designed unreasonably from beginning to end. Ah Fei and Li Xun Huan are good brothers. As good brothers, they knew that Sun Xiaohong really liked Li Xun Huan. Under normal circumstances, even if he was really interested, Ah Fei should keep away from him.
But when he said such words at the moment, he was clearly trying to sow discord, which was completely inconsistent with the previous persona.
Moreover, even if you have to poach someone, is there any need to go to such trouble?
They are setting off fireworks and talking about love.
If it were Zhang Chu, he would simply say: "I love you, will you marry me?"
He was dilly-dallying, constantly testing, and even talked about the sadness of his sworn brother behind his back.
There is no trace of Ah Fei in this kind of behavior.
Fortunately, Cui Chenggong, who was in charge of literary opera, knew that Zhang Chu had a poor foundation and had a weak foundation. As long as ordinary literary opera was about the same, he would not embarrass him.
But this scene still had to be filmed several times before it was barely usable.
"Isn't it more difficult than swinging your sword to kill everyone?"
As soon as the director shouted "CUT", Jia Jingwen immediately emerged from among the characters. She couldn't hold herself any longer just now. The fact that she could hold on was her professionalism.
Zhang Chu didn't say anything. In Jiangnan in early April, the temperature was still low, but after filming this scene, he was sweating all over.
Jia Jingwen is right. Filming this kind of literary drama, especially an emotional drama, is not only more difficult than a martial arts drama, it is even more difficult than killing people for money before.
I found a place to sit down and waited for the crew to change scenes. I was afraid that the filming would last until midnight today.
"Give!"
A thermos cup was handed to Zhang Chu.
He took it and held it in his hand, recalling every detail of the scene just now.
Just as Li Mingqi thought, Zhang Chu did have a spirit of thinking. Whether it was martial arts or anything else, he didn't want to lag behind others in anything. He relied on thinking more, discovering deficiencies in time, and then making up for them.
"Don't think about it now, I think you acted very well just now."
It was also comforting.
"Still a long way to go!"
Zhang Chu knows his own advantages and has talked with Yuan Heping about his future development direction. He will definitely aim at kung fu stars and work hard, but he cannot leave too behind in literary drama.
With a pair of fists, he is confident that he can penetrate the entire entertainment industry, but if his acting skills are lacking, he is destined to not go far.
Now you are young, have a good image, and can still conquer the world with your fists, but what if you get older in the future?
Yuan Heping said that the only thing that is not lacking in the entertainment industry is handsome men and beautiful women.
Although Zhang Chu has never relied on this, he has to admit that sometimes, when directors select roles, first impressions are very important.
His face has indeed provided him with convenience. If it weren't for his outstanding image, no matter how good his kung fu was, He Xiuqiong might not have been able to decide on him to play Xiao Jian.
When one's own image no longer provides this convenience, without acting skills, one can only be a brave man.
"Why are you so demanding of yourself?"
Fan Bingbing at this age still can't understand.
Just as he was talking, Zhang Chu saw Lu Feng walking over excitedly, and his heart suddenly moved, and he had a premonition of what was going on.
"Achu, let's go, follow me to find Brother Big Eyes!"
Zhang Chu stood up and handed the thermos cup to Fan Bingbing.
"Is there any news over there?"
Lu Feng said as he walked: "The director wants to meet you, but the specific details cannot be decided until we meet."
"What do I need to prepare?"
"Go and ask for leave now. The director and producer are in Beijing, and you have to fly over overnight."
fly?
Zhang Chu was in a daze for a moment, and then he thought that there is a means of transportation called airplanes.
They found Yuan Heping before Lu Feng could speak.
"Okay, I already know."
knew?
Lu Feng didn't understand what Yuan Heping meant.
"I said hello to Zhou Linggang before."
What?
Lu Feng was stunned. Zhang Chu didn't know who Zhou Linggang was. How could he not know?
One of the four famous producers in the Baodao film and television industry, and the boss of Feiteng Pictures, the investor in the drama "Young Hero Fang Shiyu".
Lu Feng knew that Yuan Heping valued Zhang Chu very much, but he didn't expect that he would do this for Zhang Chu.
This is a huge favor!
With Yuan Heping's status in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles, if he asked Zhou Linggang for a role, the other party would definitely sell him a favor, but it would be hard to repay this favor!
Although Zhang Chu didn't know who Zhou Linggang was, he thought he must be someone of high importance.
"Director Yuan, thank you for your support."
"Young boy, I'm not doing this all for you. If you really think about my favor, then work hard. In this circle, there hasn't been a star who can hold up for a long time. In the future, when you really become famous, you can win awards. , don’t forget to thank me especially!”
Yuan Heping said in a joking tone.
"I'm afraid it's too late today. Afeng, you and Achu will go there tomorrow. I know you know Wen Weiji, and I can talk to him with you here."
Lu Feng naturally would not refuse and quickly nodded in agreement.
Yuan Heping looked at Zhang Chu again.
"Come back with good news, don't let me owe this favor in vain."
