Today is also tied up by the top stream [entertainment circle]

Sister Liu and Xiao Hu are both professionals in their professions, and they moved very quickly. In the eerily quiet atmosphere, their makeup was completed very quickly.The underwear has been put on before makeup, and then the coat, shoes, wig, and details are done, and the shape is considered OK.

Jian Xing frowned when she saw Zhaoyang's complete shape.

He didn't say anything, but Zhaoyang noticed his slight expression.

Zhaoyang didn't say anything, and followed Jian Xing out of the dressing room. The assistants followed them with the necessary supplies and headed for the set.

Every director has a different style of directing. Some directors rehearse immediately after shooting, and perform on the spot until the shooting is finished.Director Qiu is more rigorous, and his process is to go through the scene several times before shooting.First, the line is checked with the script, then the position is moved, and then the script is off the script, and everything is confirmed to be correct, and then the filming officially starts.

It's normal for costume dramas to be so particular. After all, the Tao of Fuhua is too grand, and re-shooting is often a lot of trouble. It is not the same concept as modern dramas with light clothes.

Before the play, we have to talk about the play.

"Not My Race" also follows the industry practice, not in the order of the plot, but in the order of the set, so first of all, all the scenes in this film and television city must be filmed.

Today, Zhao Yang and Jian Xing are going to shoot a late-stage scene. The elder brother Xiao Yang played by Jian Xing has become a prisoner of the third brother Yang Yixiu played by Zhao Yang. "Kill", because the situation has become established, they have to be enemies with each other, but they can't let go of their feelings for each other in their hearts. It is an emotional, restrained and contradictory drama.

Jian Xing has been filming for more than a month, and theoretically he can almost fully enter the role.Zhaoyang, on the other hand, faced the difficulty of becoming a king as soon as he got started.

Director Qiu: "Little Yang, you will wake up later. You are injured and your body is very weak, but you still have to have that energy. You are weak on the outside and strong on the inside, understand?"

Jian Xing: "Understood."

Director Qiu: "Also, your affection for your third brother must be full. It can't be completely covered up by hostile emotions, but it can't be too exposed."

Jane Xing: "OK."

Director Qiu looked at Zhaoyang again: "In this scene, you are already the winner, but you have to show the sadness of the loser deep in your heart. You must be ruthless, but not too ruthless. You must be gentle, but your arrogance of the winner does not allow it." I am soft, that kind of complicated and tangled, it is best..."

Director Qiu paused at this point, and Zhaoyang waited for a while, seeing that Director Qiu hadn't moved, he continued, "It seems like I can't control the feeling that I'm showing?"

"Yes," Director Qiu slapped his thigh, "You can't control it, even if you suppress nine points, you still have to give up one point. The character's character is most prominent in the place that cannot be controlled."

Zhaoyang nodded: "Yeah."

Director Qiu didn't talk much to the two of them, he picked out the main points, and the two of them understood it and it was over.In the part of the play, 99.9% of the actors will understand it on the spot, but whether they understand it or not depends on the actual performance.

Start with the lines.Zhaoyang was holding the script, but his eyes couldn't read a word, Jian Xing was so close to him, the sense of presence was too strong, Zhaoyang felt that every molecule, atom and electron in the air around him was filled with Jian Xing's breath field.

The two spoke to each other sentence by sentence.

Jian Xing: "The third brother treats you so politely, I can't bear it."

Jian Xing: "No...it's not the third brother anymore - I should call you King Liang."

Zhaoyang: "The visitor is a guest. Tonight, at midnight, I will be waiting for the White Crane Pavilion in Yangzong."

Jian Xing: "..."

Jian Xing didn't answer the next line, but Zhaoyang immediately realized that he was bald.

The original line is "I am waiting for General Yang at the Baihe Pavilion".

Director Qiu: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Zhaoyang: "..."

They were all frightened by the incident just now, and Zhaoyang still feels a faint sense of suffocation.

Jian Xing let out a snort, and took back the smile that spouted to her lips in good time, "Senior, don't be nervous, come again."

Zhaoyang looked at Jian Xing, then at Director Qiu's face, and started again from "the visitor is a guest".

Director Qiu has no expression on his face. After all, he is old and has been in the industry for decades, and he is used to strong winds and waves.Even so, a thought still floated in his mind: to finish the calf.

With an investment of 6 million yuan for this drama, when the project was established, it was aimed at the goal of "production of TV dramas to the level of movies". Now... Looking at these actors, Qiu Dao's heart is cold.

In fact, although Zhao Yang had worked with Deputy Director Zhang's team before, Director Qiu knew very well that the reason why Zhao Yang was quickly finalized this time was not because of Deputy Director Zhang's recommendation, but because someone from the management made a noise. The meaning was obvious, and Director Qiu could only turn a blind eye.Assistant Director Zhang told him that this actor was worth looking forward to, but Director Qiu didn't take it seriously.Now it seems that Deputy Director Zhang may have also received money for saying this.

He can read the wrong lines after reading the script, how dare he ask for acting skills?

Director Qiu thought so, but he was a little surprised that the next process went smoothly.After Zhaoyang made some adjustments, there were no more mistakes in his lines, and there were basically no major problems in passing through positions and acting.

This rivalry scene is very particular about tacit understanding. Jian Xing has confronted the actor who temporarily quit the group before. Both sides seem to have no major problems in acting, but the sense of interaction is so weak that it violates the point of harmony. The enemy is quite like the enemy. But it is an indifferent enemy, that kind of brotherhood seems to have never existed, it is completely divorced from the essence of the original script, and it is definitely not the feeling that Director Qiu wants.

Director Qiu couldn't help but asked, "Have you met this scene in advance?"

Zhaoyang joined the group in such a hurry, Director Qiu was prepared to let them slowly enter the scene during the filming process, it was really impossible to make up for the unsatisfactory scenes in the end, unexpectedly, neither of them showed the first part. It is quite rare to have a sense of fullness in a play.

"It's not about this one, it's about other things." Jian Xing said.

"Other?" Director Qiu was puzzled.

"Well, the senior told me a lot of lamb plays yesterday, which gave me a deep understanding, and it suddenly dawned on me."

Zhaoyang: "..."

Director Qiu glanced at Zhaoyang lightly, his face seemed to be filled with big doubts: Auntie like the one who said the wrong lines to the script just now, has the face to tell others?

Zhaoyang wanted to find a crevice in the ground to get in and be alone for a while.How much enmity did he have with Jian Xing, that he could be publicly executed as soon as he got the chance?

Director Qiu didn't make any comments, and said: "If there is no problem, we will start shooting."

"Director Qiu," Jian Xing said, "I have a question."

Director Qiu: "Huh?"

"I think Senior Zhaoyang's appearance is not right." Jian Xing said.

Director Qiu raised a question mark in his head: "Why is it wrong?"

Jian Xing looked at Zhaoyang, "The aura is wrong, the image and role are too inconsistent, and the appearance is too overwhelming."

The whole audience looked at Zhaoyang in unison.

Zhaoyang met Jian Xing's gaze.What Jian Xing said was actually exactly what he vaguely felt when he first saw his appearance.

Director Qiu fell into deep thought.

Generally speaking, actors don't dare to be so presumptuous with the director. When others ask the director to add scenes or change their style, they usually do so in a negotiating tone. tone.But firstly, Jian Xing is a newcomer with little experience with the group, and a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, secondly, Jian Xing's coffee position is there, and the drama is properly responsible for the flow, and thirdly...Jian Xing joined the group For more than a month, he really hasn't caused any troubles, and the filming has been done well, and everyone's impression of him is pretty good.

Furthermore, Jian Xing's words were indeed on point, and Director Qiu was in a dilemma.

"Director Qiu, can I change it?" Jian Xing said, "I have some ideas."

This time, the audience looked at Director Qiu in unison.Director Qiu thought for a while, Jian Xing had already said that, the big deal would be to waste some time, so he nodded and said, "Okay, try it."

Jian Xing came to Zhaoyang, looked down at him slightly, and said with a smile, "Senior, if it hurts, just say so."

Zhaoyang: "...?"

pain?

What does he want to do?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone... public revenge?

Zhaoyang was still thinking wildly, Jian Xing suddenly stretched out his hand, gently holding his chin, and touched the edge of his right cheek with the other hand, lifting the edge of the large beard sticking to his face, bit by bit Tear back.

Jian Xing watched Zhaoyang's fragile skin deformed by the beard, held Zhaoyang's face more firmly with his left hand, and moved closer, as if examining a handicraft that was about to be made by himself. Keep your eyes peeled and concentrate.

Jian Xing's breath rushed towards Zhaoyang's face in a nonchalant way. Zhaoyang didn't even dare to breathe hard for a while, and maintained this movement dedicatedly, looking at Jian Xing's eyebrows to avoid accidentally confirming his eyes.

It took several minutes for Jian Xing to remove all the beard on Zhaoyang's face, and Zhaoyang's face was immediately refreshed.

The beard is only the first step, and Jian Xing will focus on Zhaoyang's shadow and eye makeup next.It was too laborious to wipe off and repaint the entire makeup, so Zhaoyang personally instructed the makeup artist to only wipe off the most heavily colored parts, and use lighter-colored contouring and eye shadows to retouch on the basis of the original base makeup, which took about half a day. After more than half an hour, the new makeup was completed.

The assistant brought Zhaoyang a mirror, and Zhaoyang was stunned when he saw it.

Looking at the expressions of the director and the various staff members, they were all indescribable.

After a long time, Assistant Director Zhang made his first comment: "It's so cute."

Director Qiu nodded seriously: "Yeah. It's so cute."

Both of these two were about to go to work, and when they said such words in a serious manner, many staff members laughed.

Zhaoyang: "..."

He...was very tired.This experience is not the first.

When casting this temporary vacancy urgently, Director Qiu felt "no way" at first sight when he saw Zhaoyang's photo.It's not that the acting skills are bad, Director Qiu has never seen Zhao Yang's acting skills, but the image is bad.

No does not mean that the image is poor, but not suitable.

At the age of 27, Zhaoyang has a 17-year-old boy's face, and he is still a cute boy. Putting such a face out is a powerful tool for attracting fans, but on the set, it is out of place with capital letters, especially when he is serious. Most crews making feature films cannot use Zhaoyang.

It is most helpless for an actor to be restricted by appearance conditions.

Specifically, when it comes to the role of Yang Yixiu in "Not My Race", it is even more at odds with Zhaoyang.In the play, Yang Yixiu had very few scenes when he was a teenager. When he and the hero Xiaoyang reunited after parting ways, he was already 25 years old.It sounds like this is younger than Zhaoyang's real age, but the actual situation can't be seen that way.

For one thing, people in ancient times were precocious, and at the age of 25, they should have been happy to be a father.Second, Yang Yixiu's personality is vicious, venomous, resourceful, and has a clear understanding of the world, as if he was born for power.His role is to abuse the male lead, be a bad guy, contract most of the drama's three views, and act as the audience's reviled object.

A villain should have a villain's face. Does it make sense for such a role to be played by a handsome guy with the face of an idol drama hero?

Deputy Director Zhang discussed with Director Qiu, and the solution they came to was that the shape was not enough, and the shape was made up.Try to transform it with external decorations, such as a beard, and forcibly cut his outline with layers of contouring, and then match it with blackened eye shadow and lip color to create a "villain" atmosphere.

Then Jian Xing's operation was as fierce as a tiger just now, and Zhaoyang's appearance returned to before liberation overnight.Jian Xing did not make any complicated changes, but simply restored it, removed all the things that did not belong to Zhaoyang, and let his own appearance show his true colors, so now Zhaoyang looks like a boyish and well-behaved boy.

"No," Director Qiu said, "This can't be done."

This is the behavior he dislikes the most. Young actors sometimes do crazy things for the sake of looking good.

"Director Qiu," Jian Xing said, "he is my third younger brother. We are going to play a rivalry scene between brothers who are both enemies and friends, but Senior Zhaoyang's aura is distorted. How can we be brothers? This is simply Father-son play."

"Hahahaha—" Everyone burst into laughter, and Zhaoyang couldn't help laughing either.

"Isn't this what Director Qiu said you used too much force? The effect is so twisted." Jian Xing said again.

Qiu Dou Le.Ouch, this kid is pretty good at it.

He crossed his arms and looked Zhaoyang up and down.He understands the truth, but no matter how Zhaoyang sees it...

play.

"Director Qiu," the client Zhaoyang finally said, "Can you let me try first?"

He agreed with Jian Xing's statement.The rivalry between him and Jian Xing requires the combination of maturity after going through the vicissitudes of life and the youthful feeling rooted in the heart, both of which are indispensable.

Although their positions in the play are pros and cons, they are essentially brothers, comrades-in-arms, and confidants. The premise of their "love and kill" is "equality". Fear of whom, so we can truly understand each other.

And the makeup that the crew gave Zhaoyang is equivalent to completely blackening Yang Yixiu. He has completely become an "evil adult", erasing all the emotions and love in his heart. It exists as a villain like a tool man. Such a flat villain will not only fail to highlight the rich spirit and courage of the protagonist Xiaoyang, but will also bring Xiaoyang down to a more superficial level.

This is what is said in the legend——the halo of reducing wisdom has a backlash effect.

Even if it is necessary to clearly distinguish the pros and cons from black and white, the three-dimensional protagonist must be shaped by the three-dimensional villain.

Zhaoyang didn't mention it before, because he knows that he is a fool and his words are light, and his face is really not convincing. If he said that he really didn't want to look good, can the director believe it?

But in fact, Zhaoyang has tried all kinds of monsters and goblins over the years, and this one is not too much.

"Let Senior Zhaoyang try it," Jian Xing said, "Senior can handle it well."

Zhaoyang was quite surprised by this statement, he thought he heard it wrong, and took Jian Xing's original joke as sincerity.

But he really didn't hear the jokes, he did hear the sincerity.

Surprisingly a little... heartwarming.

"Okay," Director Qiu said, "Go through it first and see how it feels."
