Chapter 49 Actors
On the ninth day of filming, the crew was officially divided into groups for filming.
Xu Rong also came to Wuxi with Group B. Once the transition started, he couldn't stop at all.
After shooting in Wuxi for a few days, I moved to Hailin, and when it snowed, I moved to Xuexiang and Heihe.
Transitioning is a very hard job, especially as it has a serious impact on the state. It is hot and cold, and the crew almost caught a cold after only three transitions.
Winter in the Northeast comes very suddenly. Anyway, from the perspective of Xu Rong, who is half northerner, after a night of wild wind, it is difficult to move his hands and feet when he gets out of bed.
"Brother Chuanwen, it's too cold here, how can you film your movie?"
Seeing Xu Rong coming over after putting on makeup, Song Jia was wrapped in a black down jacket, holding a pink hand warmer, huddled up, and kept pacing on the ground with his two feet.
Recently, Xu Rong and Song Jia have had more scenes, and they are much more familiar with each other than when they first started filming. Moreover, their mutual recognition of each other's professional abilities has also made the relationship between the two closer.
A very hard-working and carefree girl, this is the impression that Xu Rong had after getting along with Song Jia. She can handle the scenes by herself and basically does not need a substitute. As for her image, it is not within the scope of her consideration at all.
The most important thing is that his business ability is relatively good among his peers. As a collaborator, Xu Rong felt quite comfortable during the filming, at least he didn't have to hold it back.
After getting along for a long time, Xu Rong discovered that under her carefree appearance, there was still something of an artistic young woman.
Because he realized this, he had no intention of having a deep friendship with her. It was okay to devote oneself to art, but whether it was a man or a woman, it was never a good thing once there was a bit of literary and artistic flavor in their personality.
This group of people do things based on feelings or preferences. When it comes to the other half of their lives, they also have a free and easy attitude of "looking for the only soul mate in the vast sea of people." In Xu Rong's view, this is actually the same as "offending the whole world."
"Everyone in the world makes mistakes" makes no difference.
Mainly because I was too full.
Seeing the assistant director arranging the positions of the extras, Kong Sheng looked at Xu Rong: "Xiao Xu, it's too cold today. If you can stand it, do you need a substitute?"
Xu Rong didn't want to go into the water at a temperature of 20 to 30 degrees below zero, but he couldn't do it. He would have to speak in the water for a while. He pursed his lips, laughed dryly, and said: "It's okay, director.
I can handle it."
Kong Sheng hesitated for a moment, but did not insist anymore and said: "That's okay. If it doesn't work, don't force it."
Xu Rong felt that his physique was actually strong enough, because when Da Xiaolao swam in the river, his water skills were pretty good. If he couldn't hold on, his substitute would probably be too.
But as soon as he jumped into the water, his heart suddenly sank.
He was still wearing a thick cotton jacket and cotton trousers. When soaked in water, he felt lifeless. Moreover, the cold water was like thorns, pricking his skin and causing pain.
"start."
Because the clothes on his body were soaked in water, Xu Rong had to use all his strength to resist the fall of the thick cotton clothes, and the sound of rushing water rang in his ears.
After waiting for a while, he felt something was wrong. He quickly turned his head and looked towards the boat, only to see Sarina looking at him with a wry smile.
"It's broken, I didn't hear it."
"Hurry up and start again."
Kong Sheng didn't waste any time and immediately prepared to retake the photo. Xu Rong's face turned pale before his eyes.
But this time, nearly ten minutes passed.
While adjusting, Xu Rong found a place to stand in shallow water to regain his strength, but his limbs began to gradually become numb. He didn't lift it up to rest for a while, because his wet neck felt even colder outside the water. In comparison, the water seems warmer.
And it looks like it’s almost ready to be adjusted and ready for shooting.
Gradually, Xu Rong felt that he had lost all feeling in his legs and feet, and he just held on with all his strength. When he finished speaking, he hurriedly shouted to the people on the boat filming next to him: "Pull me up."
The people on the boat actually saw it, but in order not to retake the photo, Xu Rong had been holding on and saying that he could bear it. When he was dragged up, his face was frighteningly white, without a trace of blood, and his hands, feet, and limbs were all numb. Trembling.
He was carried ashore by several members of the crew. Zhu Yawen and Qikui helped him change his clothes, and a group of people helped him sit next to the stove to warm himself.
After nearly half an hour, Xu Rong's body slowly regained consciousness, but she still couldn't help but shiver occasionally.
Sitting by the stove, Xu Rong had only one thought in her mind: she would never come to Northeastern China to film again. No matter what the fate was, her life was at stake after all.
"Brother, take a few sips of hot water to warm yourself up." Zhu Yawen handed his water glass to him.
Xu Rong took it, thanked him, and smiled at him reluctantly, saying: "Your kick really almost killed half of my life."
In the play, the reason why he entered the water was because Chuan Wu kicked him down.
"Haha, you have to blame the screenwriter for this." Zhu Yawen looked at the cotton-padded jacket and cotton trousers hanging next to him that had ice scum on them, and his face tightened, and he said: "Brother, you will have to wear that for filming later. "
He said, pointing to the cotton-padded jackets on the shelf.
Xu Rong glanced at it, pursed her lips slightly, and made a low "hmm" sound from her nose.
He had already thought about it before entering the water, but at that time he thought that because of his own physique, he gritted his teeth and got through it, but he didn't expect that he almost froze in the middle of the photo.
Wearing clothes that looked like ice cubes, we filmed for more than half an hour. At night, Xu Rong also caught a cold and developed a high fever.
Probably because the crew had anticipated it and prepared a lot of cold medicine and wine.
The wine is used to warm up the body, and the costumes are thin and not frost-resistant at all. The actors can only take a sip of wine for a while while filming, and then take a sip of wine again.
Zhu Yawen had a good capacity for drinking and could drink, but he couldn't help but drink like this. He was patting and patting, and suddenly his body swayed and fell limp to the ground.
Although Xu Rong was also shivering from the cold, he did not drink. It was not because he couldn't drink, but because alcohol affected his performance too much. His drinking capacity was average, and after two drinks, his facial muscles began to lose control. Zhu Chuanwen was not Zhu Chuanwu, this character is not allowed to lose control.
During the break, Song Jia saw Xu Rong walking back and forth between the two positions, talking about the lyrics. He must be thinking about the reaction he should have during the scene, and asked: "Brother Chuanwen, didn't you bring an assistant?" ?”
Although Xu Rong is now the second male lead, he did not have the privilege of having a dedicated person to take charge of speaking and positioning during the filming of "New Shanghai Beach". Therefore, he had to spend more time preparing for each scene.
Hearing this, Xu Rong smiled, but did not tell her the real situation. Instead, he said: "I'm not used to it. I feel like I can understand the role more fully if I think about it."
Song Jia couldn't help but froze for a moment after hearing this. This was the first time she heard this statement. But because she felt that Xu Rong's business ability was stronger than hers, she instinctively did not question it, but thought about the feasibility of this method.
Xu Rong didn't pay attention and was still thinking back and forth on his own. But after a while, he turned around and saw Song Jia's face looking thoughtful.
Nonsense, but why do you really look at Song Jia and believe it?
So he quickly changed the topic and asked: "Did you graduate from theater?"
Although Xu Rong himself was from Nortel, he didn't have the idea of curling up like most of his classmates when they heard about Shangxi Opera. He didn't know much about Shangxi Opera, but because they were both in the capital, he had relatively more contact with China Opera.
, the comparison with my own school is quite obvious.
For example, almost all majors in my school require courses such as audio-visual language and script writing, while most majors in Chinese opera have performance classes, including those in directing and directing. Every day is spent rehearsing and rehearsing plays.
A very interesting and quite obvious difference.
For students of the same acting major, it is more obvious when they are in front of the camera that Nortel is good-looking, but their basic skills in Chinese opera are generally a little better.
Of course, there are also some outliers, such as a silly guy from China Drama Theater, or a guy who can play from Nortel. This is not surprising, but judging from the general standards of fresh graduates majoring in acting, China Drama Theater is indeed better than
Nortel is just a little bit stronger.
The upper stage opera and the middle stage opera are roughly the same.
The reason is due to the historical tradition of the school itself, which leads to different emphases. One is focused on film talents. The school motto clearly states that the firepower is passed down from generation to generation. To put it bluntly, it is to make big money by making blockbusters and becoming a master. The other is to focus on film talents.
He pays more attention to basic stage skills and brings fresh blood to major theater troupes.
"Well, yes, what about you?"
"Nortel's."
"Hey, I can't tell." Song Jia blinked, because in front of Xu Rong, she couldn't show her contempt for the Nortel actors. She just smiled and asked: "You are not old, right?"
"
"Well, it's my sophomore year."
"So...sophomore"? Song Jia's mouth opened slightly. She could not tell from Xu Rong's face that he was a sophomore, nor could she tell from his business ability that he might not be twenty yet.
After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Oh my God, you are just a sophomore and you are working so hard, and your business ability is so good, you don't leave us a way to survive, do you?"
Xu Rong smiled and said, "Aren't you the same?"
Song Jia rolled her eyes at him and said, "Can it be the same? You male actors have just started their careers at the age of thirty, but we women have basically become day lilies at the age of thirty-five."
Xu Rong did not deny this, but felt that Song Jia's words were biased to a certain extent.
Acting is a highly competitive industry, regardless of whether you are good or bad.
But there are obvious differences. With the improvement of makeup technology and skin care science, the age range of the roles that male actors can assume is getting wider and wider. This is good news for older actors. They can even change the age range of their roles.
Youth plays into old age.
And this situation has become more and more serious in recent years.
However, this way of eating by old actors is extremely unfriendly to young actors, because the older ones generally have less professional skills. Not only do they eat their own meals, but they don't even leave any of the food in the pot for the young ones.
Chen Baoguo played a young guy two years ago.
On the contrary, actresses eat a bowl of youth rice. After thirty-five, they immediately decline. No matter how well-maintained they are, their eyes cannot deceive.
Of course, there are also some actresses who received the benefits of youth when they were young, but after their time has passed, they are still unwilling to let go and want to seize the benefits that belong to the next generation of young people. Those who will only be crushed to death by inertia. The market is
In this way, since you sent away your seniors back then, you must also be prepared to be sent away by your juniors when the time comes.
Picking up the bowl to eat, then putting down the bowl and smashing the pot, the eating appearance is too ugly.
