The monster villain of the extraordinary world

Chapter 9

Relying on his temporary electronic work permit, Lei Yue entered the busy studio through the security guard.

The former bald assistant director noticed that he was talking to Sister Hua just now, and when he saw him approaching, he waved and shouted:

"Then who! The extras, right? Go over there, just sit on that roadside bench and don't move around."

"Oh, good." Lei Yue quickly responded, and walked quickly to his place.

Passing through the crowd on the set, he sat on a bench and looked at the crew. What is this scene about?

This is not clear, and there is no way to express it. Doing a little more in this state can easily lead to mistakes, such as laughing out loud in a serious scene.

Lei Yue pondered, let's play the role of a passer-by who sits on the side of the street thinking about something, it's more versatile.

While he was brewing, the film crew got ready one by one, the track was ready, the lighting was ready, the camera was ready, the leading actors and extras were all ready...

Not long after, the director yelled "Action!"

In the next ten seconds, the director yelled "Cut!" and the assistant director immediately said, "Get ready for the next shot!"

The studio that had just fallen into silence suddenly exploded, and the personnel scattered around.

Uh... is this the end?Lei Yue has been sitting on the chair, basically doing nothing, this is the first time in his life that he has played a trick, the first film and television performance...

It was slightly different from what I had vaguely expected.

Lei Yue looked at the director over there and several leading actors talking about the play, while sitting on the chair here, he seemed to be a person from a different world from them, a non-existent person, an air.

Hey, no one said the road would be easy.

You're just a walk-on, is there any accident, keep going!

Lei Yue cheered himself up silently, and continued to sit on the bench, waiting for the next shot.

Time passed, "Action" and "Cut" sounded again and again, the staff walked back and forth, and the tourists at the cordon of the studio kept changing, one batch left and another new batch came.

Whether sitting on a chair or standing on the side of the road, Lei Yue devoted himself to every shot.

I was not told by the director or the assistant director that they made mistakes, and I was not told by anyone that the acting was good or bad.

Since he covered his face tightly, no one cast strange glances.

Everything was calm, and when the crew was dead, Sister Hua immediately took him to another crew nearby.

"Did you cause any trouble?" On the way, Sister Hua asked quickly.

"No."

"That's good, what's the first rule of Sister Hua's troupe?"

"Honestly make money."

"What about number two? Louder."

"Still make money honestly!"

Lei Yue said so, when he got to another crew, he had new expectations.

However, the situation is still the same when it comes to playing tricks.

Just like Sister Hua said, no one cares about the performance of a group performer...

"No... no! Stanislavsky said: 'There are no small roles, only small actors.' That's a wise saying."

Although Sister Hua said not to talk about Stanislav and Brooke, Lei Yue still thinks of these drama masters from time to time.

A passerby is also an actor, a passerby is also important, and a passerby is also a detail of a scene.

If the first passerby on the stage looks fake, then the protagonists are performing on a bad stage, which is not the same thing as being on a good stage.

As an actor, you have to give your best in every role, every performance.

"Moreover, the acting careers of many big stars started as a walk-on, and only when they showed a bright spot did they start to get more opportunities."

Lei Yue is looking forward to it so much, and is working so hard.

However, film and television shooting is different from stage plays, a scene is divided into many shots.

These shots are not shot in sequence, but from the efficiency of arranging camera positions, so the plot is usually shot backwards and forwards.

Therefore, for the group performers who have not read the script and have no one to tell the play, they are basically in a state of confusion, do not know what they are doing, and are just at the mercy of the assistant director.

In this deaf and blind situation, Lei Yue always felt that he had eighteen martial arts and it was difficult to use them.

When there is a play, he acts, and when there is no play, he stays in the group performance rest area.

He now knows that the so-called "resting area for group actors" is actually the most remote location on the set, either in a back alley or next to the pile of debris.

The actors seem to be assigned to the frontier, squatting or standing, some smoke, some play with mobile phones, some chat nonsense, but no one talks about acting.

These dream chasers were gloomy, and everyone cheered when it was time for lunch.

Lei Yue also got a lunch box, avoided the crowd, walked to the end of the sultry alley, took off his mask and ate chicken nuggets lying on his stomach, without wasting anything, "It's so delicious..."

After eating and resting for a while, Sister Hua immediately rushed to the next set with a group of other actors.

This time, with a serious expression, she exhorted a few more words:
"All of you, be more conscientious! Lei Yue, especially you, don't make trouble."

"Oh." Lei Yue was a little puzzled.

Soon, when he came to a studio on another section of Modern Street, he saw the male director who was admired by all the stars, and he was pleasantly surprised and understood.

The director looked to be in his 30s, not tall, thin, with short fluffy hair, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and had a deep expression.

... That's Chu Yundong!

Lei Yue couldn't help being excited. Chu Yundong is a young director who has been in the limelight in recent years. He is famous for his literary films and has won numerous awards. He has even been nominated for some international awards.

Therefore, Chu Yundong has been praised by the outside world as having the potential to become a great director of the next generation.

"Then this play should be "Moonlight Lost City"."

He usually pays attention to the news of film and television, and also likes Chu Yundong's movies very much. Knowing that Director Chu is making this new romantic literary film this year, how many fans are looking forward to it.

While following Sister Hua, Lei Yue looked at the two leading actors who were chatting with Director Chu. They were a pair of young men and women with quite literary temperament.

He didn't know them, none of them were celebrities, and Chu Yundong was famous for not using celebrities.

This is a movie, a literary movie, and it is likely to be an excellent movie, not a bad one.

As soon as I came to the film and television city, I had such a rare opportunity to play tricks on the first day. Sister Hua's network is really wide, and that crow really knows how to lead the way!
The more Lei thought about this, his heart almost jumped out.

"Be more eye-catching." Sister Hua handed the group of six or seven group performers to Assistant Director Zhao, then turned around and left in a hurry.

"In this scene, the hero and heroine are walking and talking on the road, talking about the nature of love."

Deputy director Zhao is a middle-aged man with a Chinese face, more patient than the assistant directors of the crew in the morning, and told them a little bit about the play:

"You guys are acting as passers-by, just walk like you usually do on the street, don't walk too fast, don't walk too slowly, and don't walk to the lead actor's side."

"Mmm, um..." Lei Yue immediately responded, thinking and cherishing.

The shooting of a good movie is really different. The assistant director doesn't play sloppy, and I have to act better this time...

Then, Lei Yue and the other group performers were arranged by Deputy Director Zhao to different starting positions, and they took their positions, waiting for the filming to start.

It's about to start.

Lei Yue saw that Chu Yundong and the two leading actors were walking towards the shooting area, so he quickly put aside all distracting thoughts and focused on the performance itself.

Deputy Director Zhao presupposed that none of these group performers had acting skills, so he said that.

No, it's not like that, it's not like walking down the street like you usually do.

Lei Yue looked around the street. This is a commercial pedestrian street. There are many stylishly decorated shops on both sides. The people walking here are usually shopping...

Shopping in real life is often blind shopping, which is either boring or has a lot of redundant information.

A performance that can make the audience praise "it's too real" will never be real life.

Peter Brook emphasized a concept in "Open Doors":
"Actors must go beyond simple imitation, give flesh and blood to a scene, and create a dramatic life that parallels real life.

"The audience can't tell the difference. The two are both the same and different. Dramatic life is more readable and more condensed."

Lei Yue didn't recall the original text, but it probably meant something like this.

Then, in the framework of the moving line explained by Deputy Director Zhao, in the framework of the atmosphere of the genre of this movie and this scene, and in the framework of Director Chu’s previous mirroring style,

How to act well in this scene where a passer-by walks?

Emotions, movements, positions, and timing, all must be accurately grasped to be a good show.

Estimated from the distance between the starting position and the camera, I am in the background position of the lens, this position has a corresponding effect on the starring role, is it love...

Lei Yue looked around, and some images gradually emerged in his mind:

I was shopping to buy a birthday gift for my girlfriend. As I was walking, I saw a cute doll from the window of that boutique.

Because I am a high school student and have little money, this gift is already very good.

My footsteps and demeanor will carry a kind of lightness and joy, a kind of youthful expectation...

Lei Yue closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened them again, his eyes had become different, he was immersed in the emotions of the scene.

At the same time, several other group performers around were waiting boredly for the filming to start. There was a young woman yawning, an uncle was swiping a short video, and the monkey's laughing sound came from the phone.

"The whole world is ready to start!"

Suddenly, as Assistant Director Zhao slapped his palm vigorously and shouted around, the studio became quieter, and everyone became on the verge of breaking out.

Over there, Chu Yundong and the two male and female leading actors came to the shooting area.

Chu Yundong walked to the front of the camera, and when the actors and departments were all right, he raised the director's horn and said in a calm voice: "Action!"

Suddenly, the entire set became another world, and the camera was shooting that world.

When Lei Yue heard the sound of Action, he immediately moved as if he had come out of the freeze frame.

He didn't pay attention to what the two leading actors in front of him were doing, and he didn't pay attention to other passers-by, but walked on his own, paying attention to the shops on the street while walking.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards the window of the boutique, pausing slightly and then speeding up.

Found it, birthday present!

Lei Yue walked to the glass window and stopped, looked at the doll inside, smiled, took out the phone from his pocket and pressed it.

He couldn't wait to send a message to his girlfriend, but he didn't say anything about the gift, which was a surprise.

Both he and she have been admitted to Dongda University, and the agreement before the college entrance examination has come true...

This kind of life is really... very good.

On the other side, behind the camera, Chu Yundong, Deputy Director Zhao, cameraman, field recorder and others are all looking at the performance area. As the camera moves backwards with the track car, they also keep moving backwards.

And the focus of their eyes is naturally on the two leading actors, as for those human flesh background boards, as long as they seem to be the real thing.

Beforehand, no one asked any extra performer to stop suddenly while walking, nor asked him to look at the shop window.

Neither the director nor the assistant director explained it like this...

But that's what someone did.

"Huh?" Chu Yundong raised his eyebrows immediately.

Director Chu frowned, and immediately made everyone around feel excited.

Don't look at this popular young director's external image as gentle and refined. Director Chu has always been extremely demanding and meticulous on the set, and his temper is not far behind if he is not a tyrant.

Now, deputy director Zhao's Chinese character face changed color slightly, and the assistant director's direct responsibility was for the group performer's mistakes.

What, what is that guy doing?
Passers-by are passers-by, just walk.

Does that guy think he is awesome? Stopping like this might break the director's original composition. Did the director ask him to do this in the background?
It is necessary to know that the situation in the background of the camera will have hints, and it can also extend the level of the scene. These are designed by the director, and there is no room for any group of actors to play freely on the spot.

Where did Sister Hua find this kid? Does he understand?

It's rare for two leading actors to act well in this one, but they are screwed up like this.

However, it is up to the director to decide whether or not to stop any situation that happens during filming...

For a moment, Deputy Director Zhao and the photographer fixed their eyes on Chu Yundong at the same time.
