Chapter 88: Encountering an old friend.
Chen Baoguo just smiled. As an old-fashioned acting player, he heard too many such words and had no trouble in his heart. However, he was very curious. When the show was broadcast, he didn't know if the audience would recognize Huo Qubing's "pretend" was Liu Huaqiang.
After breakfast, Chen Baoguo went to the dressing room, and because Zhou Xing did not have his scene, he simply walked around the Qin Palace.
At this time, the crew has begun to become busy. The professional level of the mainland crew is gradually increasing in recent years. However, if you want to know which crew is the most professional, it must be CCTV. Almost the top talents in the country have sharpened their heads and delved into it. CCTV has the richest experience in producing historical blockbusters. Often, a scene with thousands of people is not just a director.
While walking around, I suddenly heard someone calling his name. Zhou Xing didn't care at first. After all, with his current popularity, it is common to be recognized by others.
However, when he turned his head, he was stunned. A man dressed in a small eunuch in the distance was waving to him. The distance was a bit far away, and Zhou Xing could not see his appearance clearly, but this man seemed quite familiar.
As a result, when he got closer, Zhou Xing smiled: "Yu Bin, why are you kid?"
This guy is Zhou Xing's classmate, and it seems that he hasn't seen each other for four or five years.
Yu Bin hammered Zhou Xing's shoulder and cursed with a smile: "You are so embarrassed to say that it's been so many years, and I haven't seen you contact your classmates. Those who don't know would think you are a big shot."
"Hey, look at what you said. I went to Xiangjiang a few years ago. I just came back last year. I really can't find time and I don't have time to go back during the Chinese New Year." Zhou Xing couldn't help but sigh when he saw the old classmate.
Yu Bin looked at Zhou Xing up and down, and his heart was mixed. He thought that when he was in the college, Zhou Xing was not very eye-catching. Later, he chose to go to the drama troupe to spend time. Originally, the classmates thought that his life would be like this, but who would have thought that after a few years, they were already a well-known star. On the other hand, the classmates who originally had a high starting point were not very good now, and luck made people feel bad.
"By the way, do you still have contact with them? There are many calls in my phone book that are empty." Zhou Xing said with a smile.
Yu Bin smiled and said, "Then it's not empty. A few years ago, we left all the landline numbers. How many LC areas have been demolished in Beijing over the years? Besides, in this industry, how can we answer every mobile phone?"
The old classmate naturally had endless topics to talk about, and Zhou Xing asked again: "Does our class do a lot of jobs now?"
Yu Bin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Hi, what can I do when I change careers by learning this? I'm just stumbling around. Apart from you, Miao Pu and Zhao Zhengyang are doing well in our class, especially Zhao Zhengyang, who stayed at school to be a teacher at that time. Liu Tianxian, who has been popular recently, is still his student. In 2001, he also played the role of the Emperor of Han..."
As we were chatting, we suddenly heard a loud roar, "Yu Bin, why are you doing there? Do you still want to film a movie?"
Yu Bin's face froze, and Zhou Xing also looked at the person coming, which was a fat man with a big belly.
The fat man was tilting his neck, and was so arrogant that he was about to show off his airs. However, when he saw the one next to Yu Bin, he immediately changed his smile and came forward: "Oh, Teacher Zhou, look at my look, didn't you bother you? Why don't you chat first?"
Zhou Xing glanced at him: "Look at what you said, we are just chatting between classmates, it's more important to film. Brother Bin is waiting for you to finish work tonight, let's have a good drink."
"Okay, no problem." Yu Bin nodded gratefully.
As he said that, Zhou Xing walked towards the main hall of the Qin Palace.
After Zhou Xing walked, the fat man smiled at Yu Bin and said, "Hi, look at you, why didn't you say this earlier? I'll change you a character who has lines and can show your face."
Yu Bin cursed in his heart that this fat man had always been domineering to these extras before. Suddenly he was so polite, naturally, it was because of Zhou Xing's face. Is it worth a small role to change to a favor?
"That'll cause you trouble."
The fat man smiled kindly: "Look at what you said, I will help you today. If you become popular one day...hehe."
If you point it out and don’t say it out loud, there will be no fools in this business.
On the other side, Zhou Xing came to the Qin Palace. The main hall had been fully decorated, and Chen Baoguo had already changed into costumes and was sitting on the stool to talk about the lines.
The crew members recognized Zhou Xing, but no one stopped him and let him wander around as long as it didn't interfere with their work.
"Sister Mei, it's OK." Assistant Director reported.
The live actors are all in place, and the lighting and photography are ready to go.
"The Emperor Wu of Han, Act 67, Mirror 1328, action."
With Director Hu Mei's order, everyone became nervous.
In the center of the Qin Palace, Chen Baoguo, who played Emperor Wu of Han, sat upright on the throne, and stood a group of civil and military officials below, bowing down to obey orders.
"Our Han Dynasty has been defeated repeatedly for seventy years, resulting in a waste of morale and a loss of national prestige. This situation must be completely reversed from now on. I want to clearly tell the world and the Huns that from now on, the merits will be changed. From now on, the enemy can go, and I can go!"
Three cameras captured close-ups of Chen Baoguo's face from three directions. Zhou Xing stared at the scene in the monitor and listened to the loud lines in his ears, and his blood was boiling.
This is a performance at the level of a movie emperor. His lines are astonishing and anxious as each word seems to step on a person's heart, the twitching eyebrows, the change of eyes, and the entire facial features are serving this large line.
In fact, many actors have not bad acting skills. However, compared with real actors, they can never go further. It is not that their acting skills are not good enough, but that they lack creativity.
The script is actually a very one-sided thing. When you get a script, there are only scenes, characters, and dialogues. As for what kind of mentality your character has and how you should express it, these all require the actor to build a picture in his mind and then present it through his own performance.
Some directors even don’t even have a script, allowing you to play at will. Many actors are stunned when they encounter this situation. How do you act like this?
"Ka, this one has passed, it's great!" Hu Mei couldn't help but applaud Chen Baoguo's performance.
There was no Zhou Xing's play for several days. Perhaps Hu Mei also wanted to familiarize Zhou Xing with the atmosphere of historical dramas first. Zhou Xing was not in a hurry. The crew gathered many veteran actors and secretly taught in the crew every day, and gained a lot.
In fact, when acting in this drama, Chen Baoguo did not act as calmly as in front of the camera. After all, he played Emperor Wu of Han, who was known as "Qin Huang and Han Wu" together with Qin Shihuang. He was under a lot of pressure. Therefore, during rest, except for his assistant occasionally adding water to his water cup, everyone was far away.
In fact, not only Chen Baoguo, but also the crew are shrouded in a very heavy atmosphere. Perhaps, this is the atmosphere of filming historical dramas. You cannot make any mistakes, otherwise after the broadcast, criticism will definitely be indispensable.
