Chapter 13 Twelfth Strategies
The master's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. From a small landlord to a restaurant shopkeeper, he has been a nine-pin county magistrate for some time, but he is still not satisfied. God, on the set, the master strategized and had the power to let you die the night before the wedding ceremony, and never live until the cock crows three times.
At the opening ceremony, the master taught us that cross talk and TV dramas are both art, and both need the flash of inspiration.As master screenwriters, we are warned that if we don’t act verbatim according to the script we wrote, and if we believe in nonsense and change the words, we will be deprived of the right to fail in the future; as master directors, we are encouraged to make breakthroughs on the set, Don't follow the old ways, memorize lines by rote, and be able to develop your own way of acting; as the leading actor reminds us, as long as you don't steal the leading role, you can do whatever you want, the happier the better.We really don't have a good grasp of the scale, so we asked the producer for advice. The producer answered in a concise and concise manner, as long as it can be broadcast, and if we want to smash it, we will smash everyone's jobs.
Although we are under pressure, we are still happy to film and talk about cross talk, especially the old jokes are generally scripted, the structure remains the same, the plot remains the same, and some baggage is added.Shooting Deyun TV series is full of suspense. Others write the script first, choose actors according to the roles, set the scene and then set up the lights. We synchronize the script with the shooting, increase or decrease roles according to the actors, and decide to shoot interior and exterior scenes based on the weather. strong uncertainty.
The master arranges the performances to adopt a rotation system, and the selection of actors is also the same way. In this play you play the hero, in the next play you will play the bully, this time you will be the main creator, next time it will be tea, the last play is a passerby, and the next play will be a gangster Bing Yi, good and bad, everyone is motivated, except of course the lead actor.
When filming the county magistrate before, Hou Zhen had a lot of roles, so he was full of ambitions, but when he came to the county magistrate, Mr. Hou could only be an assistant screenwriter.But Hou Zhen is very interested in acting. He feels that the princes and generals in the cross talk are all fake, and the table and bed in the TV series are at least closer to life.Hou Zhen was going to intercede with his master, and Li Gen also wanted to hitchhike a ride, more or less arrange a role, leave a case in the credits at the end of the film, and set foot in the film and television industry.
The master always took care of Hou Zhen, so he immediately made up a scene in which thieves blocked the road and robbed, and the county magistrate saw the injustice on the road and killed the gangster.Hou Zhen played the gangster, Li Gen played the robbed businessman, and the master's real hero appeared.
For this extra scene, we first found an intermission in filming, under a bright and sunny sky, Li Gen came with his burden on his shoulders, and was knocked down by Hou Zhen with a sap, then county magistrate Ye rushed over seeing the injustice, and shot Hou Zhen with a single shot. .According to the script drafted by the master when he was eating pancakes, this was just a cutscene, the three of them had no lines, and it ended with the county magistrate proudly blowing the muzzle of the gun, but it actually exceeded the budget by a large margin.
In the first filming, Li Gen struggled to walk properly, saying that he designed a reserved character for the merchants. After being scolded by the director, Li Gen started to move forward in fake slow motion, saying that this would show that the merchants were eager to return. home mood.Shi Aidong, who made a cameo appearance, couldn't stand it any longer, saying that you are in such an urgent mood, but you still hold your feet lightly?Deliberately extend the appearance time!Li Gen replied that contrast is art.The director said that if Li Gen does not walk normally, he will only take pictures of his back.Threatening Li Gen, Hou Zhen came out again.He was supposed to come up from behind and hit Li Gen with a stick, but he overtook Li Gen from behind and stopped the merchants from singing a folk song: "Loans to build roads, you have to spend money, pay first and earn later, benefit the descendants" and then So he played a set of Wulang gossip sticks to show off, and as a result, Yunlong who was holding the reflector and Yunxia who was holding the microphone boom were knocked to the ground.
After reaffirming the discipline on the set, it was Li Gen who started the trouble again. After being hit with a stick by Hou Zhen, he even passed out and struggled with Hou Zhen. With boxing and kicking skills, it doesn't look like three punches and two kicks can close the move.County magistrate Ye had no choice but to step forward and shot the gangsters and merchants one by one.
The two "dead ghosts" were lying on the ground, and the director felt that it seemed too abrupt for the lead actor to shoot as soon as he came up. He had to say a few words, or change to another guy who could handle it. While thinking, the two "dead ghosts" felt that nothing was wrong and wanted to get up Going to get a lunch box, but Shi Changji stepped on them and told them that the actors couldn't move until the director called to stop.Half an hour later, the master director had an idea and asked the master actor to put away the box gun and replace it with a pair of mahogany nunchakus.After adjusting the camera position, the director ordered the gangsters and merchants to get up. The two lay on the cold ground and had long been numb. They supported each other to get up and stood still. Just about to move their stiff limbs, the leading actor rushed up again and shouted "Hurry up!" Like the law", the peach wood nunchucks were used to knock the two down again, so the new play added the fantasy color of heroes beating zombies.
The director's master designed a long shot at the end. After the blade warrior county magistrate killed the zombie, the world was peaceful, and he strode away towards the sunset, shaking his nunchuck.How do you know that the world is flat, but the road is not flat, the leading actor patronizes to pose with his chest up and his head up, not paying attention to the pits under his feet, and the somersault he falls is more beautiful than a zombie, and a good long shot can only be useless.Started over again, filmed after killing the zombies, but the leading actor couldn't find the magnanimous spirit after eliminating the evil, so he suggested that the two zombies get down and start another scene.Li Gen and Hou Zhen had no choice but to be shot again and fall to the ground, only to jump up again later to be beaten.This round of filming went fairly smoothly, but it was already sunset when the master strode away in the end, which was not at all in line with the noon scene where the gangsters robbed merchants.The director was silent for a while, announcing that this scene will be filmed again in the middle of the day, and Yun Zheyue's beating the zombies will be more atmospheric.It's just that Li Gen and Hou Zhen were down-to-earth in the middle of the night. They didn't move for two hours, and they couldn't even get up when they thought about it.
The final setback of this scene happened to the master. After beating the zombie, he was full of arrogance. He wanted to imitate Zhou Xingxing's signature move in "Kung Fu". With a roar of luck, his dantian broke his shirt and exposed his chest. For this reason, the prop Zhang Dewu The lead actor's costume was specially boiled ten times, and it can basically be torn apart with just one touch.During the actual filming, it progressed smoothly to the stage of appearance. The master raised his head and looked at the moon with a super high octave "Called Xiaofan". Unexpectedly, the belt provided by the prop was weaker than the jacket...
After the filming was finally finished, Li Gen felt that the film and television industry was too risky, and it was best to stay away from it.Hou Zhen brewed a cup of Huoxiangzhengqi boiled ginger and drank it. It was a little warm, and he came to the master and asked for two more scenes.
Mr. Hou is worthy of being a descendant of a famous family. He said that people can make prequels when they are dead, and ghosts can have dreams after death.The master asked Hou Zhen who he wanted to attach himself to, and Mr. Hou answered the county magistrate Ye.
Hou Zhen never got a chance to appear on the screen again, and even Liu Yuan was overwhelmed by the assistant's job as a production assistant. Fortunately, the scene where the gangsters robbed the merchants was not cut, and Hou Zhen and Li Gen also appeared in the end credits, respectively titled Fat Zombies and Skinny Zombies.The two were angry, and taking advantage of Zhang Dewu's unprepared props, one took away the master's box gun, and the other got the mahogany nunchaku, planning to rob the material library and destroy the evidence that he was pretending to be a zombie.
