Chapter 257: We Wanted Him to Motivate the Candidates, but He Was Actually Rolling the Dice? !
Netizens chatted leisurely, but many manufacturers became busy.
Or contact Oriental Media and ask if you need a customized souvenir manufacturer, or if you are willing to cooperate in the production of products.
The live-action entertainment department also faces an extremely busy period.
The outside world is busy and noisy, but the crew's hotel is quiet and quiet.
The cast and crew are recharging their batteries.
After all, making movies is their job.
The moonlight is getting darker and the sun is rising again.
The next day, early in the morning on November 2, the crew came to the building decorated as a casino to perform.
When Chen Xiao walked into the door, he saw about a dozen wooden tables in the lobby on the first floor, which was decorated as a casino.
Each table is equipped with pastries, teacups, matches, dice cups and other common casino items, as well as red candles to adjust the color of the picture.
Antique red lanterns hang from the roof.
In the distance is a stage for shadow puppet performances.
Overall, everything has been arranged.
Deputy Art Director Wang Rui put his hand on the table and said, "The table is set according to your storyboard. We can just follow the steps we rehearsed in the capital."
Chen Xiao nodded, turned to Sun Li and said, "Okay, Director Sun, could you and Director Wang help everyone get familiar with the venue again? If everything goes well, we'll start shooting at eleven o'clock."
"no problem."
The crew quickly became busy.
While the actors were familiar with the venue, Chen Xiao communicated with the artists sent by the shadow puppet troupe, and planned to record the sound live this time.
In other words, Fugui and Long Er are gambling in the front, and in the background behind, they are really performing a shadow puppet show.
After the meeting, three reporters also came to the scene to look for highlights without disturbing the crew.
Half an hour passed quickly.
After Chen Xiao finished communicating with the shadow puppet artists, he walked out from behind the curtain and walked to the hall.
In the middle of the hall, the camera crew was adjusting the machine.
By the window, the actors playing Long Er and Fu Gui were sitting at the table rolling dice, rehearsing for the first scene of the day.
Qin Liyuan, the actor who plays Long Er, has his head shrunk, his gaze downwards, his expression respectful and a little reserved. He holds the sleeve of his right hand with his left hand and shakes the dice cup up and down.
Across the table, Xu Bin, who plays Fugui, sat upright and shook the dice cup with a calm expression.
Chen Xiao walked over, supported the table and said, "Teacher Xu, you have to be a little more dandy."
Xu Bin put down the dice cup, covered his forehead, and sighed, "Oh, Director Chen, you are here. I also feel that I am not in the right state."
What we are going to shoot today is the first scene where Fu Gui appears in the movie. It should be in sharp contrast to Long Er, and it should also contrast with the two people behind him who reverse their status.
But I just don't feel right today.
After joining the cast, he performed this scene when he was reading the script in late September, and he felt very comfortable at the time.
Maybe it's because I stayed on the set for a month and read the script every day. After quitting gambling, the image of the simple Fugui became more and more profound in my heart.
In addition, he has just finished filming the scene of the old house in Shaanxi Province, and now he has even taken on the role of Fugui who lost the old house.
It seemed that I was a little too deep into the drama and couldn't change the order of the scenes.
Xu Bin leaned on the back of the chair, put his hand on his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Director Chen, I feel very bitter when I sit here in Fugui this morning. I feel that this is just a dream, and I am not feeling like a dandy."
Qin Liyuan, who plays Long Er, said with a smile: "Teacher Xu is deeply involved in the play."
Xu Bin waved his hand, "It's the senior who acted well. He finished filming, and when I brought Fugui in, I felt empty."
"Take him over?" Chen Xiao pulled out the stool and sat down.
Xu Bin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Director Chen, stop joking."
Chen Xiao also put away his jokes, thought for a moment, and suggested:
"Teacher Xu, let me talk about the external movements first. Sit crookedly, twist to the left, and relax."
"You are now a pathological gambler with poor judgment. Specifically, you are tired of all the beautiful flowers, birds, and beauties. You have no interest in them and they do not bring any excitement."
"But when the dice collide, the unknown charm becomes bigger and bigger. Open the dice cup and reveal the mystery for a moment. The expectations generated when the dice collide are all released at this moment. Can you experience it again?"
Xu Bin flipped the dice in front of him with his fingers, "Okay, I'll try again."
After closing his eyes and remaining silent for half a minute, he opened his eyes and looked at Tan Liyuan opposite, "Brother Qin, let's try again."
"good."
The clanging sound of dice and dice cups was heard.
Chen Xiao looked at the two of them and frowned slightly.
About ten seconds later, Xu Bin put down the dice cup and sighed: "I seem to be acting too sacred, right?"
Chen Xiao nodded.
That's right, it's like asking for a signature.
Xu Bin rubbed his temples with both hands, "Director Chen, can you take over now? How about you show me a demonstration? If this continues, I'm worried that I won't be able to adjust well in the morning."
Although it is common for actors to be in poor condition.
But the crew's filming schedule was tight, and he really didn't want to delay everyone.
"OK, let's change places, and Teacher Qin and I will try our luck."
Tan Liyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, is it really a comparison?"
Chen Xiao stood up and said, "Let's take on the role. Come on, let's compete!"
…
At the same time, in a nearby teahouse.
Two girls stood on the fifth floor, stretching their necks and looking out.
"Can you really see it?" Miaomiao frowned and stood on tiptoe to observe carefully.
"I can do it now! But I guess I won't have the chance in the afternoon." The girl companion vowed.
She went to buy sesame seed cakes this morning and heard two people who seemed to be crew members chatting, saying that they were walking around the dye house this morning.
Because the air conditioner broke down, we had to open the window for rehearsal in the morning. It is estimated that it will be repaired at noon.
Perhaps we can take this opportunity to see Director Chen working hard!
"Oh my god!!! That!" The girl patted Miaomiao's arm excitedly and pointed to the 9 o'clock direction.
Miaomiao looked in the direction of her finger and saw a person walking towards the main door of the building between the two houses.
"Oh my god, is that the assistant next to Director Chen yesterday?"
But standing on this floor, you can only see a head. The windows on the first floor are also blocked by the houses on this side.
The companion echoed: "Really, go up one floor, up one floor."
The two ran upstairs with their backpacks.
Miaomiao ran to the window of this floor panting, looked into the house where the assistant had just turned in, and her eyes widened immediately.
One hand covered her mouth excitedly, and the other pointed to the window in the distance.
Isn't the one sitting down Chen Xiao!
The girl next to her took out her phone and said, "Take a picture, take a picture."
"Don't post them randomly!" Miao Miao didn't even turn around and raised her hand to pat her.
"No, I'll keep it as a souvenir." The girl held her phone and enlarged the picture while sighing, "Oh, I really saw it. It's not easy. He seems to be directing the actors, right? You should take a good look at how hard the King of Rolls works. Go back and prepare for the exam seriously..."
The girl said halfway, her voice became smaller and smaller, and she stared at the window in a daze at the end.
Because in the window not far away.
The King of Rolls actually looked like a dandy boy. He picked up the dice cup, looked up at the ceiling, and enjoyed...rolling the dice.
