"Your Majesty, the Western Expedition cannot be delayed. If we delay any longer, we may be in trouble!"
In a medium-sized room, the sound of Song Ci rang out.
There were more than twenty people sitting around, and it was the "Jiangshan" crew who were reading the script.
Of course Song poetry plays a small part in the whole play.
If we look at the rhythm of a seven-day script reading, Song Ci only needs to be present on the third and fourth days.
Because his character didn’t actually appear before or after.
But Song Ci was still present for seven days.
At this moment, he finished speaking his lines, and the actor who played the emperor immediately read out his lines.
Everyone was sitting around the table, with relaxed expressions as Su Wu read his lines.
There are some things that are unreasonable, or there are some things that everyone thinks are more reasonable.
Everyone will try to figure it out with each other and discuss whether some modifications can be made.
Sun Dachuan slowly picked up the large porcelain water cup in front of him and took a slow sip.
Reading scripts is a necessary task for him when filming.
In fact, many directors in China like to discuss the entire script together before filming begins.
In this way, when the shooting officially starts on site, it will appear to be very smooth.
People like Lu Song actually have this habit,
However, because Song Ci joined the "Black and White" crew halfway, he did not participate in the script reading of the "Black and White" crew.
So the current play "Jiangshan" is the first script reading that Song Ci has participated in.
The overall atmosphere was very good.
Zhang Zilu, the male lead, stood up and took off his coat.
Although it is August now, the air conditioner is on in the house, so it is a little cold.
After he read the lines several times, a little sweat broke out on his forehead.
Sitting next to Song Ci is a young girl Li Yufu who is only 19 years old.
She has little experience in filming.
But she is the female lead in this drama.
However, Song Ci heard in private that this girl was recruited by the sponsor of this drama.
But Song Ci looked at the other party's innocent appearance and really didn't think much about it.
And at this moment, the other person was sitting next to him holding the script, taking dense notes seriously.
Seems very serious.
When encountering some doubts, he would quietly turn his head and ask Song Ci.
Song Ci had read the entire script before.
As for the whole drama, it's quite satisfactory.
What is the final film presented to the audience like?
In fact, he had no idea at all.
But for the sake of working with such a first-line S-level crew.
So after Song Ci read the script, he had no intention of rejecting it.
After all, he wants to get ahead in the entertainment industry.
So I have more contact with first-line directors like Sun Dachuan and Lu Song.
There are definitely only advantages and no disadvantages.
And judging from his current status in the actor circle, he is not yet at the point where he can choose his own scripts.
When he first joined the crew, Song Ci was still a little nervous.
Because both male and female protagonists can actually be said to be traffic.
But after everyone sat together and read the script for three or four days, Song Ci still had great expectations for the entire team.
After 3pm.
Sun Dachuan said with a smile that everyone should rest for half an hour.
So the assistants of each actor came in holding something.
For example, Liao Jie brought a box of fruit to Song Ci.
Serve him like an uncle.
At this time, little girl Li Yufu stood up, raised her hands, smiled at everyone and said:
"Teachers, there is a milk tea shop outside that is very delicious. I will treat you all to some milk tea. What flavor do you want to drink?"
After she finished speaking, her assistant came up and started counting what everyone wanted to drink.
The actors' assistants were also included in the statistics.
At this time, Liao Jie shook her head and said she didn't need it.
Song Ci glanced at her in surprise and asked, "Don't you usually like to drink milk tea? Why don't you drink it this time?"
Liao Jie hesitated for a moment, then softly said helplessly in Song Ci's ear:
"When I was in college, the first time I gave milk tea to a boy, it was from this brand. Guess what the result was?"
"how's it going?"
"She was diarrhea after drinking my milk tea all night long...that made me angry. I will never drink milk tea from this restaurant again!"
When Liao Jie said these words, several people around him burst into laughter.
There was a cheerful atmosphere at the scene.
The little girl Li Yufu's face suddenly turned red. She quickly waved her hands and said to everyone:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, then I won't invite you to drink milk tea from this restaurant. Let's find another one!"
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Song Ci quickly patted Liao Jie's hand.
Liao Jie also felt that what she just said was indeed a bit of a slap in the face, so she quickly waved her hand and explained:
"This happened many years ago. It might have been the one in our school at that time. It was not very hygienic. Now everyone is drinking it and I haven't heard of anything happening."
Li Yufu showed a polite smile.
Liao Jie walked up to her and said several more words.
Then the little girl started to smile.
Everyone left the house one by one, ready to rest for a while.
When Sun Dachuan saw that there was no one around, he came over, put his arm around Song Ci's shoulders and whispered, "Don't take advantage of Xiao Fu!"
Song Ci stared confidently and said, "Director Sun, what are you talking about? Am I such a person?"
Sun Dachuan said cheerfully: "This is the daughter of the CEO of Star Entertainment, do you know?"
Song Ci showed an expression of sudden realization.
It turns out that Li Yufu’s financial sponsor is his father.
The week-long script reading came to an end soon.
The crew officially started filming.
In the first two days of official filming, Song Ci had no scenes.
So he wore a large tank top, shorts, and flip-flops throughout the whole process, and learned this and that on the set.
From lighting to props to costumes.
In two days, I quickly became familiar with the crew.
Field manager Lao Jiu handed Song Ci a cigarette, and Song Ci waved his hand and said he didn't know how to smoke.
Song Ci didn't know the specific name of the leader, but he only knew that everyone called him Lao Jiu.
Lao Jiu's skin is very dark.
He seems to be only about 1.7 meters tall.
But there is tendon meat, the kind that is dark and strong.
During the chat, Song Ci learned that Lao Jiu was only 22 years old this year.
But if you come out to make a living...it has been five or six years.
His family was relatively poor, and he went out to work after finishing junior high school.
I took some detours in the first two years, but later I was introduced to the crew.
Because he is down-to-earth and hard-working, he is also smart, so he was also liked by Sun Dachuan, so he joined Sun Dachuan's crew and followed him, and has already filmed three movies.
Song Ci and Lao Jiu squatted by the wall and ate lunch.
"Brother, you are so approachable. I have worked with so many crews, and it is quite rare to be like you!"
Song Ci spit out half a peppercorn, wiped his mouth and said, "Don't flatter me, I don't understand anything, so I'm learning from the crew!"
Lao Jiu said happily: "When I go running at night, I especially like to use "Gangnam" as the background music. I feel very energetic when I run!"
Song Ci glanced at him and said: "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will make you a piece of music with strong rhythm that is very suitable for running!"
Lao Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Brother, this is what you said. You can't lie to me. Brother, I don't have any other skills, I just have a good memory."
Song Ci finished his lunch and patted Lao Jiu on the shoulder without saying anything else.
After throwing the lunch box into the trash can, he picked up the script and walked over, chatting with Sun Dachuan.
On the third day, Song Ci finally had his first scene on the set of "Jiangshan".
He got up at 5:00 this morning and started putting on makeup and armor.
Liao Jie, the girl, also followed Song Ci and woke up very hard early in the morning.
Song Ci looked at her sleepy look and said to him:
"You don't have to follow me so early in the future. You just need to sleep on time and get up at seven or eight o'clock. You can't do anything while I'm putting on makeup here!"
Liao Jie pouted slightly and said stubbornly:
"That won't work! You see, all the assistant managers of other actors are following you! As your only assistant, I have to take good care of you from top to bottom. Otherwise, wouldn't this make others look down on you?"
Song Ci glared at her and said, "You are here to assist me in my work, not to be my servant!"
Liao Jie sighed and sat aside: "The boss is the boss, and the assistant is the assistant. There is a difference in our status. You know, then I will sit and relax for a while, and I will get you breakfast later!"
The makeup artist who applied makeup to Song Ci was an aunt in her 50s.
She watched the conversation between Song Ci and Liao Jie, with a smile on her face.
Then she seriously put on Song Ci's beard and said with emotion: "Xiao Song, your skin is really good! Let me tell you secretly, your skin is much better than Xiaolu's!"
Song Ci couldn't answer these words and could only show a faint smile.
The scene to be filmed today is about the hero's brother played by Song Ci - the imperial general.
He will escort the princess of the empire, the heroine played by Li Yufu, to a city.
Just follow the process for this section.
It doesn't require any acting skills overall.
Song Ci wore more than 20 kilograms of black armor and rode on the horse.
In the past few years, he rode horses several times with the Xidu Repertory Theater.
Although he couldn't gallop on the horse, he could still ride on it and walk slowly.
However, he still studied for an hour under the guidance of professional teachers on site.
Song Ci can now sit firmly on the horse and speak his lines naturally.
Li Yufu was wearing a long red dress, with two beautiful buns on her head, and a green hairpin on top. She looked extremely cute and cute:
"Brother Song, you look so handsome in this armor!"
The girl shouted at Song Ci, who waved to her and said, "You're pretty cute too!"
In this scene, Song Ci is riding a horse and walking slowly in front. The princess played by Li Yufu is sitting on the carriage, but she is not convinced and wants to jump off the carriage and run away, but she is looked at very strictly, so she threatens the general. of a play.
After a while, the scene was almost tidied up.
The filming of this scene has officially started.
"If you don't put me down, I will definitely tell my father when I get back, and let him take you down directly!" Li Yufu looked charming and naive.
There was no expression on Song Ci's face.
He held a long sword in his right hand and sat on the horse, looking straight ahead: "My humble duty is to deliver the princess to Yong'an City."
"I now order you as a princess to put me down."
Just when she said this, Li Yufu's face suddenly became unbearable and showed an uncomfortable expression.
Then she couldn't pronounce the next lines.
So this section was dropped.
Sun Dachuan shouted "cut" from the side and calmly said that he would trim it a little and reshoot it in two minutes.
Li Yufu stuck out her tongue and showed a very embarrassed expression.
After 5 minutes, filming resumed, and the scene was considered over.
Still simple.
In the next scene, we have already entered the city, and the general is arranging the princess's residence.
It's relatively simple to take pictures, just follow the process.
The time spent seriously filming on the crew went by very quickly.
It's evening in a flash, and Song Ci can call it a day.
But the drama between Li Yufu and Zhang Zilu has just begun.
Sun Dachuan did not film according to the chronological order in the script.
Basically, it was shot according to the location conditions and the actors' schedules.
In the evening, there was a scene between Li Yufu and Zhang Zilu.
Song Ci wanted to watch and learn it live.
So I didn't go back to rest, I just stayed at the scene.
Recently, Xidu Publishing House has been urging him to publish "Two Song Dynasties and Five".
He has already written the first draft of the book.
In the past few days, I have been taking advantage of my free time to polish the entire manuscript in the crew.
Then you can send it to Xidu Publishing House.
At this moment, the prop master on site is still making some final adjustments to the scene.
So Li Yufu was left with some time.
The girl quietly came to the side of Song Ci and looked at Song Ci's code words.
Song Ci looked back at her.
She smiled faintly and saw that Song Ci had clicked to save and seemed to be finished.
Only then did she dare to ask: "Brother Song, this is the Two Song Dynasty you wrote, right?"
Song Ci nodded and said, "Yes, have you also read my book?"
Li Yufu showed an embarrassed expression: "I wanted to watch it...but I'm really embarrassed. I can't read it. I'm stupid and I get sleepy when I read."
Song Ci said cheerfully: "It's normal...if you don't like reading it, just don't read it. It's not a big deal. It's just a casual book to kill time."
Li Yufu hummed obediently, then rolled her eyes and asked again:
"When I asked the director about the play this afternoon, he criticized me so hard that I was a little afraid to go to him. If you are free later, can I ask you for some advice on acting? What's the matter?"
Song Ci looked into the girl's innocent eyes and nodded in agreement: "It's absolutely fine. As long as I can teach you, I'll tell you. But I'm pretty good too, so don't let me lead you astray when the time comes. !”
Li Yufu waved her hands and said, "That's impossible, I'm such a bad person."
I've been very busy at work lately, so I can only write 4,000 words guaranteed these days.
