Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 131 The Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards is You

Chapter 131 The Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards is You
A producer named Zhang came to help, which was a great help to the crew of "The Warlords".

In 5 days, several martial arts scenes required by the producer were filmed with the concerted efforts of everyone in the crew.

As for the rest of the scenes, it becomes simple.

Because the rest are mostly literary dramas.

Even if there are some fighting scenes, the scale of them is not large and is easier to handle.

As for Chen Cheng.

He has gone from being an invisible person to being the busiest person in the entire crew.

On the one hand, Chen Cheng had to cooperate with the chief director Chen Kexin.

On the other hand, Chen Cheng also had to discuss plans with martial arts instructor Chen Xiaodong from time to time.

Sometimes, Chen Xiaodong even had some exchanges with Chen Cheng.

Also, when he learned that Chen Cheng was also well-versed in fine arts, he would give Chen Cheng guidance in art from time to time.

For example, makeup, props, styling, and composition.

This made Chen Cheng very busy.

However, being busy in such a large crew also has its benefits.

For example, Chen Cheng has accumulated considerable experience in the dispatch of extras.

This is more than what I learned before on the set of Curse of the Golden Flower.

After all, in the crew of Curse of the Golden Flower, Chen Cheng was only the deputy art director, and he mostly watched from the side.

Although you can gain some experience by watching from the side.

But without someone to guide you, you won't be able to grasp the essence.

But this time.

Producer Zhang came to help, and Chen Cheng also participated in the whole process.

Even Producer Zhang had to report to Chen Cheng from time to time.

In addition, Chen Kexin delegated more power to Chen Cheng in these large-scale martial arts scenes, and Chen Cheng became the chief director of the crew for a period of time.

The experience gained from full participation is not as simple as just watching from the sidelines.

This is not.

In this full participation.

The system issued two message prompts:
[System: The host's director attribute has reached 79. ]

[System: Host's writing attribute exceeds 80. ]

inside.

Chen Cheng particularly values the writing attribute breaking through 80.

According to the rules of the system.

As long as any single attribute exceeds 80, it means that the attribute has super talent.

Just like Chen Cheng’s physical attributes before, and his artistic attributes later.

At this time, the writing attribute exceeded 80, and Chen Cheng just felt like he was the reincarnation of some great writer.

of course.

This is a bit of an exaggeration.

But during the actual writing process, Chen Cheng found that his writing level was many times better than before.

It turns out that although Chen Cheng's writing skills are decent, he can only write short plays at most, and is still much weaker than those professional writers and screenwriters.

but now.

Chen Cheng felt that his writing skills were in no way inferior to those writers and screenwriters.

Also.

Chen Cheng also discovered.

The 80-point writing attribute not only improves your writing talent.

80 points of writing attributes, and a huge improvement in expression, eloquence and logical thinking.

There is a huge benefit here, which is that it greatly improves Chen Cheng's effectiveness in [narrating the play].

Talking about the play is for the director.

Generally, directors will share their understanding of the character and the script before filming begins.

How to film.

How should the actors act, how should the movements be, how should the expressions be... and so on.

Talking about the play with a group of actors.

The benefits of drama are obvious.

Some actors didn't quite understand the script, but after the director explained the play, they had a deeper understanding of it.

Some actors who did not grasp the essence of the role had more profound ideas after the director explained the play.

Of course, there are different levels of opera performance.

Different directors produce different effects when they tell plays.

Chen Cheng originally had a thorough understanding of the script.

This time, Chen Cheng's writing attribute exceeded 80, which made Chen Cheng the gold medal drama narrator in the crew.

This is not.

The first thing that was reflected was in actor Zhu Xiaohua.

Zhu Xiaohua was Chen Cheng's classmate.

His acting skills are okay and he has certain talent and potential.

Chen Cheng recruited him into the crew and asked him to play the role of Xiao Gouzi.

However, Zhu Xiaohua has certain talents.

But after all, it was my first time to act in such a big production, a movie at that.

The performance of Xiaogouzi, played by Zhu Xiaohua, was not good.

but.

After Chen Cheng talked about the play to Xiao Gouzi for a while.

Zhu Xiaohua understood the role of Xiaogouzi very quickly.

This made Chen Kexin greatly admired.

"Xiaohua, the performance just now was great."

"You have done a great job in showing the puppy's expression of being scared yet wanting to live."

"Your play has been completed, keep up the good work."

This scene is very simple.

It is said that Xiaogouzi is the brother brought by Zhao Erhu.

Originally, he was a bandit like Zhao Erhu.

But after Pang Qingyun led everyone to join the court, he had higher ideals.

He didn't want the troops he led to be like bandits like before.

But the puppy violated military discipline.

After capturing Suzhou City, Xiaogouzi raped a young girl.

Eventually, the puppy was also killed.

The scene ended quickly.

But this scene stimulated Liu Dehua.

……

"Director Chen, have you taken a break?"

night.

Unexpectedly, Liu Dehua came to see me suddenly.

"Brother Hua, what's going on? Why aren't you resting so late? You still have a show tomorrow."

Chen Cheng made a pot of tea for Liu Dehua.

Liu Dehua thanked him and then said, "Director Chen, we were in the same crew last time."

"Yes, in Resurrection of the Dragon, you played Zhao Zilong."

"I'm ashamed to say that you helped me at that time, which led to the classic scene of Zhao Zilong laughing up to the sky."

"Brother Hua is too modest. Your acting skills are obvious to all."

But Liu Dehua smiled bitterly: "It's obvious to everyone. I have been suppressed by Lianjie recently."

Chen Cheng naturally understood what Liu Dehua said.

There are three important characters in the drama "The Warlords".

One is Pang Qingyun played by Jet Li.

The other is Zhao Erhu played by Liu Dehua.

Another one is Jiang Wuyang played by Jin Chengwu.

The three are sworn brothers.

But after all, the male lead is Pang Qingyun.

Whether from the script or other aspects, Pang Qingyun is more imposing and the focus of the whole audience is on him.

If it were just this, it would be nothing.

Liu Dehua is a mature actor and he has played supporting roles before.

But this time, Jet Li's performance was really strong.

As long as Jet Li is there, all the cameras will be attracted by him.

This side is of course happy.

But for Liu Dehua, this is not a good thing.

Even though Liu Dehua knew that in terms of status, he was a little inferior to Jet Li.

But Liu Dehua, who is also a superstar, would never admit defeat.

"Brother Hua, what do you think of Zhao Erhu?"

Chen Cheng asked.

"I feel that Zhao Erhu is a bit reckless. He has not read much, has a low level of education, and does not have great ambitions or ideals. Facing his elder brother Pang Qingyun, his original persistence was shattered step by step by Pang Qingyun."

"I think there is one thing that Pang Qingyun failed to break?"

"Which point?"

"That is Zhao Erhu's righteousness. Zhao Erhu's righteousness is not only between the three brothers, but also to all the people he led. For example, Xiaogouzi. Of course, when they captured Suzhou City a few days ago, he promised the Taiping Army generals that he would protect the Taiping Army. This is also righteousness. As a result, Pang Qingyun thought that the Taiping Army was likely to rebel, and there was not much food for them to eat, so he killed them all."

"Yes. But this also destroys Zhao Erhu's righteousness."

"not at all."

Chen Cheng shook his head: "Zhao Erhu has always had righteousness in his heart, but he is not as strong as Pang Qingyun, and he does not have Pang Qingyun's unyielding means. Therefore, the next scene will be your highlight." "Director Chen, you are talking about tomorrow's scene."

"Yes. Pang Qingyun was afraid that you would cause trouble again, so he tied you up with chains. On the other side, Pang Qingyun gave the order to shoot the Taiping Army."

"How am I going to act?"

"Remember the sense of righteousness in your heart. Even though this sense of righteousness was shattered by Pang Qingyun, Zhao Erhu has always held on to this sense of righteousness in his heart. Even, he held on to it until his death."

"I seem to understand a little bit."

Liu Dehua stood up excitedly: "Director Chen, I won't bother you anymore."

"Okay, have a good rest."

Chen Cheng waved his hand.

he knows.

Liu Dehua definitely didn't go back to rest.

……

"Hua Zai, you didn't sleep well last night. Look at the dark circles under your eyes?"

"Oh, I visited Director Chen yesterday, and he explained the play to me seriously. After I went back, I had some feelings about it, so I tried it out in my room. I didn't expect that several hours would pass by in one try."

"You, you, no wonder people in the industry say that when it comes to hard work, no one works harder than Liu Dehua."

"I can't help it. I have no talent. I can only work harder."

"Don't be so modest, King Liu. Your scene will be short soon. If it goes fast, you should rest early."

"it is good."

Chen Kexin asked Liu Dehua to prepare.

Although Liu Dehua has some dark circles under his eyes at this moment.

But that’s fine too.

At this time, Zhao Erhu, played by Liu Dehua, was tied up with iron chains and was in a very bad mental state. The dark circles under his eyes were more in line with the character in the play.

It took Liu Dehua more than an hour to finish her makeup.

Chen Kexin took a look and said it was okay, then said, "Make preparations in all aspects, and try to finish this scene in one hour."

"start."

A snap.

The camera is aimed at Liu Dehua.

Liu Dehua, with his feet tied with iron chains, fell into madness.

He pulled at the chain desperately, as if trying to break it.

"You can't kill, you can't kill..."

He yelled loudly.

Although he could not see the scene of the Taiping Army being shot in front of him.

But from time to time, I could hear the wailing of the Taiping Army being shot.

Liu Dehua was trembling all over.

He rushed forward again and again.

Falling down again and again.

Every time he fell, he tore at the chains with all his strength.

His eyes were doubled and his voice was hoarse.

He hammered the ground with his hands frantically.

Blood kept flowing out.

But no matter how Liu Dehua cried and shouted, the Taiping Army were shot one by one.

until.

When there was no sound in the city.

Liu Dehua closed his eyes in regret.

"Pass."

"pass."

"Hua Zai, this scene only took 5 minutes to shoot, you should go and take a rest now."

Chen Kexin looked at the camera.

The more I look at it, the more satisfied I become.

"Hua Zai, you completely exploded in today's scene."

side said.

Chen Kexin looked at Chen Cheng again.

It surprised me that.

one night.

Liu Dehua has changed so much.

"Director Chen, what did you say to Huazi yesterday? Why is Huazi so strong today?"

"I didn't say anything."

Chen Cheng spread his hands.

Chen Kexin didn't believe it and said, "Before, Huazi was somewhat suppressed by Lianjie, but now, Huazi has completely walked out of Pang Qingyun's influence. No, no..."

As he spoke, Chen Kexin looked at Chen Cheng again.

This made Chen Cheng a little strange: "Director Chen, why are you looking at me all the time?"

"I was wondering if there's a scene that needs to be reshot?"

"Which paragraph?"

"It's the drama of Pang Qingyun versus the Big Three."

"Uh……"

Chen Cheng didn't know what to say.

Of course he knew.

In this scene, Jet Li's performance as Pang Qingyun was not very good.

Or.

It’s not that Jet Li’s acting was bad.

But it’s because the Big Three performed too well.

This was too good and obviously affected Jet Li's performance.

"I made a decision……"

A snap.

Chen Kexin said: "Reshoot this scene."

"what."

Chen Cheng said: "The time is too tight. We wasted a lot of time before."

"It's okay. This is a literary scene. It won't have much impact if we shoot it again. Besides, I plan to let you shoot it."

Chen Kexin finished speaking.

He turned to his assistant and said, "Ask Lianjie to come over."

……

A few days later.

Chen Kexin really re-filmed the scene where Pang Qingyun faced off against the Big Three.

However, the person sitting in the surveillance camera position at this time was not Chen Kexin, but Chen Cheng.

"Director Chen, I'll see you later."

"I try my best."

Chen Cheng nodded.

Preparations in all aspects.

Three actors who played the three great officials of the imperial court walked out and sat on chairs.

Pang Qingyun, played by Jet Li, kneeled in front of the Mingtang with his two brothers.

On the patio, a stage manager was sent to spray water continuously with a hose.

It rained heavily.

Everyone performed the original scenes again.

This time, it is obvious that Jet Li's portrayal of Pang Qingyun is better than in his first version.

But this is not enough.

Chen Cheng shook his head.

Although this version is better, it still fails to fully capture Pang Qingyun's character.

"Lianjie, do it again."

"Also, let me tell you, Pang Qingyun is not cruel in this scene. This includes all his scenes in The Warlords. He is not cruel. Cruelty is just on the surface. He is cruel because he has ideals. He is cruel because he has ideals. He will do anything to achieve his ideals."

"The Big Three performed their laughter very well. If you don't want to be affected by them, then you should understand the meaning of their laughter. They laugh at you for overestimating your own abilities. They laugh at you for being just their pawn. But... what about the other way around? You are their pawn, and the Big Three are also your pawns, Pang Qingyun. The Big Three are using you, and you are also using the Big Three?"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Chen Cheng's talk about drama shocked everyone.

Chen Kexin looked at Chen Cheng.

He didn't even realize that there was such a meaning in the script.

But Chen Cheng's talk about the play upgraded Pang Qingyun's image many times.

"Come again."

Jet Li shouted loudly.

this moment.

He perfectly understood Pang Qingyun's inner thoughts.

Then.

Next…

Jet Li's performance was perfect.
