Chapter 54 Lucky(1/2)
In the crew, Xu Rong is half an old fry. Now, he has been in the crew for four years. In the "old" experience, he has learned enough to learn. For example, he knows clearly what type of scene to shoot and what kind of atmosphere to create.
But I haven't fully learned "oil". There are two types of oil. One is to see through but not tell it out, and never offend people. I know who is in the group's character. The other is to do little work, be scammers, or tease girls like the assistants in the group.
After working early for three days, the crew recovered a little more or less. An Jian also took advantage of the recovery of the whole crew's condition. On five nights a week, he rushed back the progress amid the complaints of the whole world.
Then he switched overnight.
After the transition, Xu Rong was both expectant and nervous.
What I look forward to is that Zhang Shaohua, Liu Changsheng, who plays Niu Xianhua's parents, and Bai Zhidi, who plays his parents, Wang Liyun will come one after another. What is nervous is that he has many ballet scenes to film.
Although he had prepared before coming, he knew his own affairs. Shuai Hongbing was good at ballet, but he was not bad at it.
On the first day after the transition, when Xu Rong got out of the car and saw that there were many people standing on the set, even the actors who had no chance came, they couldn't help but feel a lot of doubts.
He glanced at Yan Ni, who was sitting not far away, walked over, and asked, "Sister, you didn't inform me in the morning, right? I think there are a lot of people coming today. Is there anything wrong?"
Yan Ni did not deliberately hide it and said with a smile: "Let's see you dance."
Xu Rong was not very good at all. After a while, he laughed twice and said, "I'm dancing, what's so good about this?"
He also experienced similar situations. During the filming of "New Shanghai Bund", a scene in which Chen Shu was wearing a cheongsam and had to feature his legs. Before that scene, the male staff of the crew showed unprecedented enthusiasm, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly high, with more grand events than this. The surroundings were three layers inside and three layers outside. Even the girls and sisters in the group were all placing their heels and slid their heads into the eyes.
Although the atmosphere on the set is calm, everyone works lightly and talks very little, as if they are looking forward to something. And Xu Rong saw that the warmest ones were mainly female staff and actresses.
Yan Ni smiled and said, "I haven't seen you skip it yet, and you don't even record variety shows. We can only come and watch it."
Xu Rong glanced around again and couldn't help but roll his eyes. At this time, he wanted to shoot a large-scale bed scene. All unrelated personnel left the scene, but unfortunately, he couldn't ask for it.
It is impossible to hide, but in desperation, he had to wave to Li Zhengyanqi.
"Duoduo, why don't you jump for me?" A group of people stared at me from time to time. After hearing Li Zhengyanqi explain his movements, Xu Rong whispered to her.
Li Zhengyanqi is about the same age as him, with a long face and big eyes. She plays Duoduo in the play because she is a professional dancer and also serves as a dance director in the group.
Li Zhengyanqi blinked her big eyes. This was the first time Xu Rong had proposed to use a stand-in since filming started. Therefore, she subconsciously asked: "Teacher Xu... is in a bad state?"
Xu Rong laughed awkwardly and said, "Well, I'm not very good at ballet."
"Actually, the dance is similar. Teacher Xu, what are you good at? I can change it for you a little."
Xu Rong opened his mouth and thought to himself that he would give you the opportunity to enrich your resume, why didn’t he be up to the Tao?
"I...isn't really good at dancing."
"Ah?" Li Zhengyanqi looked at Xu Rong in surprise, because Yan Ni, one of the main actors of the crew, had a good dance foundation, so she naturally believed that Xu Rong, who came from Beijing Film Academy, should be similar, and even better.
Seeing Xu Rong and Li Zhengyanqi staring at each other, the deputy director Miao Chenshan ran over and asked, "Teacher Xu, how are you preparing? Let's go first?"
Xu Rong was silent for a while, and a word squeezed out from his teeth: "Okay."
When Xu Rong stood on the stage and danced for a while, the whole set applauded.
"Teacher Xu not only acts well, but also dances well, and is amazing."
"Shuaizi, you can start a special session at your level!"
Dance is not as intuitive as acting, just like painting, without a certain appreciation skills. Even if Van Gogh's works are brought in front of him, they are only a little better than children's graffiti.
On the contrary, a beginner who only learns the scales and claws jumps out, which is quite good to laymen, because it is closer to them and makes them more likely to be amazed.
The strange expression was only Li Zhengyanqi and Yan Ni. Li Zhengyanqi bit her lips tightly and did not dare to say anything. At this moment, she simply doubted her own perception, because Xu Rong was really unable to say that she was "good at".
Yan Ni was less reserved, covering her face, bent over, and her shoulders twitched gently.
Xu Rong was also confused because he was standing on the stage, with a crowd of audiences below. Hearing everyone's praise, he was stunned for a while before smiling and said, "It's all good to Duoduo."
In his heart, he couldn't help but wonder whether he really had a unique talent in dancing. With this kind of doubt, he turned his gaze to Li Zhengyanqi not far away. She looked red and bit her lips, as if she wanted to laugh, but she was embarrassed to laugh.
Looking at Yan Ni who was so angry that she was so angry that she realized the reality that her dancing talent might really be just a mediocre person.
An Jian looked at Li Zhengyanqi and asked, "Teacher Li, how is Teacher Xu dancing?"
Li Zhengyanqi couldn't say yes against her conscience, but she didn't dare to say yes bluntly, because she was going to apply for Beijing Film Academy and became a film and television actor in the future. She stammered for a long time before saying "almost".
Yan Ni, who was smiling miserably, told the truth for her, and said, "He probably hasn't learned ballet much, and he doesn't look good at it."
Xu Rong also came over and said, "Director, let Duoduo dance for me."
An Jian also vaguely understood what was going on and said, "Stand Up?"
"Yes." Xu Rong said with a smile, "I understand in my heart that if it is broadcast, it will inevitably make jokes from viewers who are wise, let Duoduo dance."
An Jian looked at Li Zhengyanqi and asked unwillingly: "It took more than a minute. If you want to dance well, how long will it take to learn?"
"It's almost half a month... it's about one or two months." Li Zhengyanqi glanced at Xu Rong, thought carefully, and then replied with certainty.
An Jian laughed twice and said, "Then Teacher Li, come on."
Although Li Zhengyanqi is used as a dance stand-in, Xu Rong has to shoot the movement from beginning to end, so that the editing can be processed when it needs to be given a material.
Lost the old man.
After filming a scene, this is Xu Rong’s personal experience. Even if she practiced with Xiao Zhang for a week, it was not very meaningful, but she was a little more proficient in the movements.
On the second day of the transition, four old actors officially joined the group.
Bai Zhidi, who was born in the Kongzheng Repertory Theater, Wang Liyun, who was born in the General Political Department Repertory Theater, Zhang Shaohua of the National Ping Opera Theater, and Liu Changsheng of the Peking Opera Actor family.
Compared with the first two, the last two are more famous, especially Zhang Shaohua, who is almost a professional old lady on the screen, while Liu Changsheng is well-known for his role as the 2003 version of the Green-winged Bat King Wei Yixiao.
These are the opponents Xu Rong is looking forward to working with. Niu Xianhua played by Yan Ni is a drama protector. It is difficult to think of not being outstanding. Ma Jesus has good talent and solid basic skills, but he is not skilled in higher skills.
During the past month of filming, Xu Rong has not been very happy most of the time because he cannot perform unscrupulously, especially when acting with other young actors, he has to take care of his opponents and control his performance to the same level.
In recent dramas, Xu Rong's most comfortable acting experience was during the filming of "Crossing Guandong" and Li Youbin. Both of them had never thought about taking care of each other, and they would use whatever they thought of. Occasionally, he could not take it, but under pressure, he could also maximize his potential.
During the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Yu Hewei's level was enough, but he was too timid, He Saifei. The two had too few rival scenes. Whenever he saw He Saifei pressing the actresses in the same group to the ground to rub them, he was always so greedy, but unfortunately he couldn't play in person.
Yu Heng's name to Wang Liyun also made Xu Rong understand why Yu Heng's debut stage could be the Spring Festival Gala.
"Aunt Wang, you are here."
"How about it, are you still used to it?"
“All are pretty good.”
"Hello Teacher Bai, Hello Teacher Wang, I'm Xu Rong." Xu Rong smiled and greeted the two people who came to the set. He neither looked down on the other party because of his fame, nor did he compliment the other party because of his qualifications as before.
He has worked with many "old actors", especially during "Chuangguandong", some people are truly famous, while others are famous and classics are always passed down, but they are probably separated from the masses for a long time, and they are actually hard to win under their reputation.
From that time on, Xu Rong realized that there were actually many Mr. Nan Guo hidden among the old actors. He was not old and had many films, so he must have been from the old actors.
Just as Gao Mantang said, no matter what era, human nature is always the same. There are many gangsters in the industry who cannot be called actors, and in the past, there are not many.
After saying hello and waiting for the set, Yu Heng quietly pointed to Xu Rong who was looking for the condition not far away, and said, "Aunt Wang, that Xu Rong, is very powerful."
Wang Liyun squinted him with her double eyelids and big eyes. She had watched the scene played by Xu Rong and said, "No need to say, I also know that he is amazing. The role created by an actor makes people feel angry when they see it. They must be a little real."
Yu Heng defended himself: "It's not that meaning, Aunt Wang, every time I play against him, I feel very stressed."
"Well, what do you mean?" Bai Zhidi looked at him in surprise, "I see that his aura is not strong."
"He especially likes improvisation, and he is all the kind of slapping on people's faces clearly, and you can't help but not accept it."
It was only in the afternoon that Wang Liyun and Bai Zhidi personally felt what Yu Heng meant by "specially liked".
What to film is that after Shuai Hongbing suffered from aphasia, Wang Liyun played Jiang Ling and Bai Zhidi played Shang Jie and went to the countryside to see her son.
Because Wang Liyun was about to cry when she saw her son who had aphasia, she left after the words were correct several times.
"Come on, uncle, here."
As soon as the two entered the room, Xu Rong turned her head inadvertently and looked at her parents who were walking in. Her dull face suddenly opened her eyes a little wide, her mouth slightly opened, and then slowly closed, without making a sound throughout the process.
"Handsome?" Bai Zhidi, who had a big head-faced face, answered, and the wrinkles on his face were even deeper. His tone was very light, as if he was afraid of shocking him, and he was confused about his previous behavior of wanting to speak but stopping.
Xu Rong looked at Wang Liyun and grinned.
"Son, son, do you still recognize your mother?" Wang Liyun walked to the second position and held his arm, but tears did not fall immediately.
"Card."
"stop."
"Prepare for a while and start again."
Xu Rong didn't say anything, kept a quiet environment and helped Wang Liyun find emotions. This was normal. Even if he pulled Li Xuejian over, he couldn't just cry.
But after a few words, he also saw the level of the two. These two people are backed by the system, so there is no shortage of opportunities. Their professional level is better than the top. Otherwise, even if they are not popular, as actors within the system, they will inevitably be indispensable when school films and textbooks provide evidence.
Just like Liu Peiqi, who is also a drama actor, has a villain face, but the positive characters are still playing around.
Xu Rong heard Wang Qing talk about an interesting theory in detail. It is probably that before the age of 35, it is a period of wisdom development, while from the age of 35 to 42, it is a period of booming talent.
During these seven years, due to the past experiences and external pressure, we will begin to experience uneasiness and develop a desire to share with others.
And re-examine yourself, evaluate the results of action in the outside world, examine social relations, careers, habits, and how you interact with others, and then correct or change.
And it is in this process that the burst of inner talents will be completely revealed.
Unfortunately, both of them are over fifty years old and their talents should have been exhausted.
This is the helplessness of the actors, and their talent is limited.
To be continued...
