Speaking of actors, especially film and television actors, that is the envy of everyone, they are bright and dazzling on the screen, like a bright light, they are very popular and wealthy, especially stars. In fact, acting is also a profession, an art.
Over the years, there have been many actors who have really made people jealous, especially some celebrities, and the media has exposed their luxuries: villa luxury cars, designer watches, bags, clothing, etc. Some of them have extremely corrupt lives, and there are constant scandals that have caused a bad impact on society. These people seriously affect the position and image of the actor in people's minds. Of course, there are also many down-to-earth, diligent, virtuous and virtuous literary and art stars, who do low-key work and pay attention to dedication.
On a chance trip, I had the privilege of being an actor, even though I was just a mass actor with no lines. But it allows me to have zero-distance contact with the actors, to have a deeper understanding of the performing arts of the actors, and to feel the hardships and difficulties of the performers. Our dozens of group actors are around the shooting scene of the actors, waiting for the needs of the camera.
This is the third part of the filming of the TV series "Together Through the Window", (the first and second parts have long been staged, and are deeply loved by the public) According to the needs of the plot, we participated in the shooting of the group performance. The drama is a youth campus comedy directed by Bi Xinye and starring Wu Yuze, Xu Xiaolu, Pang Hanchen, Li Ruojia, Yu Xiang, Sang Yan, Ying Daizhen, Ding Xiangnan, Li Chuan, etc. The play tells the story of Lu Qiaochuan, Zhong Bai and Ren Yifan, three young plum bamboo horses who are all in the same window, and are admitted to the same university, and have successively met new classmates, and nine young men and women have jointly opened a colorful college time.
The shooting site requirements are strict, the mobile phone is set to mute, and photography is not allowed. The plot is due to the autumn and winter seasons, and the costumes need long shirts and trousers, long skirts and so on! Although it is now mid-autumn, the temperature is still hot, and even at night, wearing long clothes and trousers is also hot and dry, and it is sweaty after less than a while. We, the extras, will not be different, we must strictly abide by it, otherwise we will find that there are summer costumes in winter.
I deliberately watched the main actors in front of the camera, there were at least seven or eight cameras next to them, facing them from different angles, all kinds of spotlights, flashes hit their heads, and with the director's order: "Start shooting", the group performers went in different directions according to the arrangements of the crew. The lead actors began to perform in designated venues. I noticed a photographer with a note on the back of the camera with the actor's lines on it, probably to check whether the actor's lines were wrong. The actors read the same action over and over again, reciting the same lines. The photographer shoots over and over again, although just a few words, a few actions, but sometimes it takes seven or eight shots, or even more, to spend hours of effort.
Those lighting engineers are not idle, they are constantly debugging the best lighting. The makeup artist follows the actor, sees the flaws, and comes forward to make up the makeup for the actor at any time. There are also behind-the-scenes workers, looking for the same kind of objects to take when shooting, it is simply running wild, dare not slack off. At that time, everyone seemed to be tightening a string. In the end, until the shooting was satisfied, the director shouted: "0K", and the whole scene was cheered. Less than a moment of trimming, followed by preparation for the next scene. In this way, I felt very interesting to complete this group performance.
The next night I participated in the group performance work again, talking about the combination of five o'clock in time, I was worried that the bus might delay the time, so I arrived at the designated meeting point at 4:40 early. Here came the four group performances early, I enjoyed it around, took a few videos, and soon, the people arrived, and the group performance army entered the shooting scene. Tonight's starring role is the lively scene of the "Spring Festival", the playground in Yanshan Park, the crowd is bustling, wearing combs, and the group performers hold fireworks in their hands and wait for the performance to be lit. The concrete pavement after the sprinkling is illuminated by the light, and the reflection is with or without, and the scene is dazzling.
With the director's voice: "Start", the lead actor shouted: "New Year's Day". The actors immediately boiled over and ran over to hug each other. Not to be outdone, we danced the fireworks in our hands in the playground and enjoyed the dynamic pictures of the playground. I observed that there were spotlights, flashes, cameras on all sides. The staff directed our group performances in the dead corner, where you should go, where she should go. The young group performers, especially a few little girls, were arranged to sit in the playground magic wheel spinning high in the sky, the body bandages were tied, and a pair of legs and feet were hanging underneath, which was really exciting.
About a hundred meters in the air, I rotated a few times, and when I stopped, I looked up. There was a little girl, probably bold, wiggling her legs in the air idly, playing intently with her mobile phone. The little girl behind her was not so calm, as if shouting: "I want to come down", although it was far away, I saw the timidity on her face, and even a little fear, but who could find it? Until the turnaround a few times, and finally the shooting was completed, when the magic sky was reincarnated to the original, one by one, the bundle was untied and slowly got off the chair. Then the group performance was arranged next to the cruise ship, the lead actor called on the road, we played a tourist passing by, over and over again, repeated demonstrations, and finally heard the director's voice: "OK", today is all over.
Although the group performances were more than four hours each time, I didn't feel how tired I was, just not a familiar person, and I felt a little lonely. I was the oldest, most of them were lesbians, and I couldn't just casually talk to others, only to observe the situation on the shooting scene alone. Occasionally a beautiful actress asks me, "What's in your bag?" I said, "Clothes." She said mischievously, "I thought you were carrying a bag of money?" "Playing as a couple or a park walker, they talk and laugh, and unconsciously shoot one shot after another. Don't underestimate these group performances, most of them come in private cars, only I go by bus, take a taxi at night when I go home, and go alone, this is my twenty-one years of life.
Let's be honest: if the salaries of actors and writers are the same, I'd rather write than be an actor. Of course, I am not an actor, but just a hypothesis. There is also the preparation before shooting, and even the post-cutting, beautification, production, distribution, etc., I don't know.
Speaking of my group performance, I was also found in Douyin. A director Xiao Liyang saw the song I wrote, and he asked me curiously, will you write a song? I answered truthfully, I like to write, but I don't write well! He might be particularly interested in, on the voice of me, asking me where I live? Have time to see me. A director wanted to come and see me, and I was really surprised, even flattered.
But the third TV series of "Together Through the Window" filmed in Liyang this time was not filmed by director Xiao Liyang. But I was fortunate enough to be friends with him. Director Xiao Liyang is medium-sized, less than forty, handsome, mostly yellow hair, wearing a hat, often carrying a bag, completely an artistic type of character. He was amiable, but sometimes stubborn, and like a small child. During this time, he broadcast live in Douyin, although his fans are not many, but others are very cheerful and always enjoy live broadcasting tirelessly. The purpose is to chat with everyone, talk about the experience of the show business, hope to realize everyone's dream of an actor, and occasionally rise up and sing a few words. As long as I have time, I will pay attention to him, admire his dedication to film and television, and praise him for developing film and television talents, which is the power of communication. I hope that Director Xiao Liyang will realize his dream as soon as possible.
One day I was watching him live, and I heard that I was looking for extras, between 25 and 45 years younger, between 6 and 12 p.m., to shoot a TV series. I was stunned at the time, originally when writing about the actor Zhang Erdan, I couldn't find the feeling of shooting the scene. Even if Teacher Zhang explained to me again and again the situation of her shooting scene at that time, I was always in the fog and not very clear, so I could only brush it over when writing, if I could describe her vitality of filming well at that time, how perfect! Another point is that shooting at night does not affect my business during the day, anyway, I am alone, but also a night owl, so at that time I was a little moved, but the heart is not as good as action, I also want to participate. But seeing the tallest young man written above, I was over seven years old, and at this time it seemed as if i had poured a basin of cold water on my head, from head to toe.
At this time: Director Xiao Liyang asked me directly: You can go tomorrow night if you are okay! I said: I'm older. He said: "You can be on camera, but you are older, and you may not have labor costs anymore." I immediately replied: I just want to find some soul for writing, what do I think? So I signed up, counted two performances, and really let me have a good understanding of entertainers, and found a picture that I could not imagine, which benefited me a lot. But in the end, the troupe gave me as much as the other group performances.
Although the group performance fee is not much, the crew treats us very kindly, warmly and attentively. First of all, a box lunch was prepared, and we could eat as soon as we arrived, and after eating, the staff led us to the shooting scene. In the process, they all enthusiastically called out to our teacher, sometimes calling me "uncle", in an amiable tone. After shooting a scene, they always say: "You have worked hard", although a few simple words show their quality. At the same time, they will also give us a big group photo every time they finish work and join the ranks of the crew.
In the past five years on the road of literature, I have experienced too much and met countless people. Often do things, such as :"publish a book", spend money and work hard, is respected by the author and a few people. But in this society, there are people who use money to measure a person's ability and social status. Even if you do it well and work harder, people will ask, "How much money did you make?" "Yes! I write songs, I am selflessly paying, where do I make money? So I, who always liked to talk, learned to shut up, write alone, and shut up except for doing business during the day and talking to customers for a few words.
This group performance gave me inspiration: as long as I continue to improve my level and ability, I think there will be opportunities to play. To strengthen ourselves, we must "lie down and taste the guts" and forge ahead. "Flying with the phoenix, it will be a handsome bird, and walking with the tiger and wolf will be a beast!" Learn to run with horses, learn to fly with eagles... How far you can go depends on who you walk with. With hard-working people, you're not lazy; with positive people, you're not depressed. Walk with the wise and you will be extraordinary; with the high, you will be able to reach the top. With what kind of people, what kind of life will be there! Let's work together!
