Chapter 165: The real actor(1/3)
Let’s talk about Director Li.
After explaining the play to several special actors in the hotel room next door, Director Li returned to the monitor with satisfaction.
"In the Name of the People" can be said to be the most enjoyable drama he has ever filmed, but it is also the most frustrating drama he has ever filmed.
Their crew is now working as if they were working in a company. They clock in at eight in the morning, finish shooting the two scenes on time before twelve noon, and announce the end of work before nine in the evening.
If the play that day happens to be a play with some veteran actors, maybe we can go back to the hotel to rest two or three hours in advance.
These veteran actors were more professional in filming than him as a director, and they didn't need him to tell the scene or remind him about positioning and other issues. As a director, he just sat in front of the monitor and shouted before starting the shooting.
Throat, one more voice at the end of the scene.
This made people who didn't know better think it was an ignorant scene recorder on the crew who ran to the director's seat and sat down.
For this reason, Director Li, who had been holding back for a long time, suddenly saw a few special actors. He immediately rushed up with the script and explained it in detail. He told the three special actors who played policemen that he couldn't help but doubt that he was a police officer.
It’s not like I joined the wrong crew.
They only had a few lines, and the director of the production team specially narrated the scene to them.
Therefore, they couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the filming progress of this crew is so smooth. With such a responsible crew director, can the progress not be fast?
Next door room.
After sitting back behind the monitor, Director Li picked up the walkie-talkie at hand.
"All departments are ready, three, two, one, turn on!"
As Director Li announced the start of filming, the staff from the props team quickly kicked the old wooden door.
They bought props like this from nearby scrap yards.
After all, most hotel room doors are now equipped with security doors. Not to mention the sound effect of breaking the door when kicked in, it is also a question of whether the three special actors can kick the door open.
The most important thing is that you have to pay compensation if you kick in someone's door. In the end, the props team and the crew together might as well go directly to the scrapyard to buy an unwanted wooden door.
"Peng!"
The sound of the door breaking was heard, and three special actors walked in with solemn expressions.
Regarding the expressions of the special actors, Director Li did not ask too much, and it would be best if he could even have facial paralysis. After all, he has even experienced the laughter scene of group performances, so he has almost no requirements for extras.
Compared with the stiff performance of the special actors, Hou Tianlai, who plays Chen Qingquan, is obviously more experienced.
One hand was placed on the blonde girl's shoulder, and the other hand was holding the other person's right hand, and the two of them looked intimate.
But when the sound of breaking the door rang, Hou Tianlai immediately acted like he was frightened, his body trembled in fright, and then he looked away from the blond girl next to him in panic and looked in the direction of the door.
"Oh my god."
"Get out, get out, I tell you, who let you in!"
"What you are, what you are, this is my right to privacy, get out, get out!"
After seeing the three policemen who came in, Hou Tianlai pointed at the three policemen with his right hand and covered his face with his left hand. He seemed to realize that his left hand could not cover his entire face, and quickly pulled up the quilt to cover his face.
A few simple actions perfectly conveyed the panic of Chen Qingquan, the deputy dean, after he was caught.
Under this incisive performance, a ball of attribute light also fell on the bed.
"Dingdong, congratulations on picking up [Emotional Acting Skills - Panic +5]"
When he saw the attribute ball falling, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel happy. Fortunately, now he didn't need to touch the attribute ball to pick it up. Otherwise, he would have to wait until the sex scene was finished before he could pick up the attribute ball.
But the only pity is that Hou Tianlai is the only one in this scene who is an experienced actor.
There is really too little pressure from the other special actors. Otherwise, just with this scene of having sex in bed, no matter what, two more attribute balls will be dropped.
Just as Lin Yuan was complaining, a purple ball of light fell down.
"Dingdong, congratulations on picking up [Skilled Acting - Sex Scene +5]"
Lin Yuan: "..."
After learning about the acting attributes of this attribute ball, Lin Yuan didn't know what to say.
He has filmed quite a few movies in the past two years, but this is the first time he has picked up the attribute of "sex scenes", which is somewhat beyond his expectation.
If it had been in a literary film from earlier years, maybe this acting skill could have come in handy.
However, today's sex scenes are either lying on the hospital bed like Chen Hai, or it's superficial like Chen Qingquan's, the era of real swordsmanship and real guns is gone forever.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel regretful.
"Card!"
"Beautiful, let's move to another place!"
Director Li picked up the intercom and announced, striding to the next room.
The staff of the photography team had already started to put away their equipment, and Teacher Hou Tianlai also changed his clothes and stood up from the bed.
"Teacher Hou, it seems you can announce the completion tonight." Director Li said with a smile.
The filming of Hou Tianlai's interrogation scene was completed yesterday. We only need to make up two small scenes tonight, and the role of Chen Qingquan can be declared over.
Speaking of wrapping up, Hou Tianlai's mood is somewhat complicated.
Logically speaking, every actor is looking forward to finishing filming in advance, because after finishing filming, it means that they are freed from the busy life of the crew and can finally take a break.
But in this movie, for the first time, he felt that he had finished filming a little too early.
The acting skills of veteran actors like them are really not that good, but as they get older, the roles they can take become less and less.
Seeing the competitive spirit of other old friends when they acted opposite each other, he would be lying if he said he was not envious. He also wanted to show his best acting skills in front of the camera while he could still act.
.
It's a pity that some people play red flowers, and some people have to play green leaves. Since he chose to play the role of Chen Haiquan, he must be worthy of his choice.
...
At eight o'clock that night, as the sky became gloomy, the crew finally started filming the last scene of the day.
"The camera moves forward, yes, slow down, prepare to zoom in for a close-up."
As the actors in this scene walked out of the room, Director Li quickly directed the camera crew to move forward to take close-ups of the actors.
"Well, Secretary-General, you are really happy today. If you don't go to bed early, I won't send you off."
"What's that dream...Meng, is Mengli here?"
"Here, they are still waiting for you to learn a foreign language."
"...You guys are back, back!"
It was clearly Qin Fen and Gao Xiaoqin's lines, but the camera focused on Chen Qingquan one after another.
When the two of them were talking, Chen Qingquan wanted to interrupt, but when the words came to his lips, his lips started to move. But as soon as he heard Secretary General Qin Fen speak, he immediately swallowed the words back and kept a flattering look.
.
It wasn't until Qin Fen finished speaking that Chen Qingquan said: "Secretary-General, you have to learn foreign languages. I also want to learn foreign languages. It would be good to learn one more!"
When he said this, the expression on his face suddenly changed from flattering to vulgar.
Just from the change in his expression, you can tell what Chen Qingquan is thinking right now.
After Qin Fen left, Gao Xiaoqin pretended not to understand the implication and turned around: "Then Dean Chen, you should also go to bed early."
"Didn't I just talk about learning a foreign language? It's still early." When talking about learning a foreign language, Chen Qingquan's wretched expression became more expressive.
It doesn’t even need to be said by Lin Yuan how good Mr. Hou Tianlai’s performance in this scene was.
Just the two purple light balls falling from his feet were enough to prove how dazzling the performance just was.
"Dingdong, congratulations on picking up [Action Acting Skills - Obscene +10]"
"Dingdong, congratulations on picking up [Action Acting - Obscene +10]"
This is another rare attribute of Lin Yuan.
It is no exaggeration to say that Teacher Hou Tianlai's two performances directly made up for Lin Yuan's shortcomings in this area.
After all, Lin Yuan's image is here. It is difficult for him to act like an ordinary person in a wretched manner, but after acquiring these 20 wretched attributes, everything becomes self-evident.
Feeling the obscene acting skills in his mind, Lin Yuan couldn't help but joke: "Fortunately, Mr. Hou Tianlai is filming on the set. If he is discovered by the patrol, he will be taken back for interrogation at least."
After hearing this, Director Li on the side couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
To be honest, with Mr. Hou Tianlai's acting skills and his own image, if he said this kind of line on the street, passers-by would probably only evaluate him with four words: "rabbit head and deer brain".
Being able to receive this kind of evaluation does not mean that teacher Hou Tianlai's image is so bad.
On the contrary, this is an affirmation of his acting skills, just like Huang Bo's comment on Sun Honglei, saying that he was lucky to have become an actor, otherwise he would be of no use to society if he did anything else.
The second half of the sentence is a joke between friends, while the first half is an affirmation of Sun Honglei's acting skills.
........
After today's filming, there was good news and bad news before Lin Yuan.
The bad news is that Mr. Hou Tianlai's role has been completed, which means that he has one less veteran actor to recruit from; the good news is that his next scenes will basically be with the remaining veteran actors.
To be continued...
