Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 37
"Mr. Zhang, good morning!"

"Empress Empress, auspicious!"

"Hey, old lady, it's early enough today, you worked hard!"

The dressing room on the first floor was overcrowded, some were putting on makeup, and some were waiting in line. Li Tang got into the crowd and greeted everyone one by one.

Zhang Tielin, who played the emperor Ama Qianlong, was in his early forties with a deep voice.Li Tang's impression of him only stays in the original memory of Gao Zhihua in "Under the Bridge" and the big villain Jinhuan Erlang Cao Xiong in "New Crane and Magic Needle" with strong intentions|violent customs.

Although he is an old actor, his acting skills are really average, not even comparable to Zhou Jie, who is more than ten years younger than him.If you are happy, you will giggle, and if you are unhappy, you will blow your beard and stare. It is simply the middle-aged male version of "Little Swallow".

This guy is said to be an Englishman, and he would show a few London accents from time to time on the set, which is very loud.

Li Tang's perception of him was very average.

In this regard, Li Tang understands Zhou Jie a little bit. As an actor, you just rely on your acting skills. If you can't show a good level, don't think that others will look at you high.

There is also the identity of the British. It is normal to complain about the British in the United States. For example, the British are prudish, too arrogant, and love to pretend to be B, etc., and they often vilify and mock the British in film and television works. .

Conversely, the British generally believe that Americans have no culture, no history, and are nouveau riche.

This is the same as people across the country like to complain about Shanghainese. People across the country generally think that Shanghainese are stingy, shrewd, calculating, posturing, etc.

I remember last time at the finale banquet of "Suzhou Creek", a lighting engineer from Beijing patted Li Tang on the shoulder drunkenly and said: "Li Tang, you don't look like a Shanghainese at all."

This sentence may be a very high evaluation in his opinion, but it made Li Tang dumbfounded.

After all, Li Tang lived in the United States in his previous life, and was inevitably influenced by American culture. When he heard that this guy was British, he subconsciously turned his mouth and snorted: "Cut, British guy!"

Well, the two fake foreign devils got together.

As for the two empress empress and mother Rong, despite the vicious ones in the play, they are very nice people in private.Especially Nanny Rong, the old lady is open-mouthed, enthusiastic, and has great acting skills.Among other things, her role as Wang Po in "Water Margin", which was just broadcast in the first half of the year, is impressive.

"Xiao Lizi, isn't it time for you to make an appearance today?"

"Hey, Teacher Li, the two of us can't write two characters of Li in one stroke. We were a family 500 years ago. Don't you always talk about small plums one by one, I'm panicked!" Li Tang was busy pleading face.

Although Xiao Lizi sounds easy to pronounce, it always reminds people of a famous father-in-law in modern history.

"Tsk, my father's surname is Li, and my mother's surname is Tang. It's a good name together, but it's not suitable to be called Tangzi or Xiaotangzi!" The old lady slammed her mouth.

Li Tang said helplessly: "Old lady, you can call me Li Tang, or you can call me Xiao Li. Don't have more sons in the future."

"Li Tang, it's just a bit raw..."

"No points, no points at all."

Fan Xiaopang, who was just about to put on makeup, heard the movement here, turned his head, and gave Li Tang a smug look.

Those big talking eyes seem to be saying: Hehe, you have today too!

Of course, if she had to call Li Tang Xiaoli in person, she probably wouldn't dare.

A good relationship is good, and you can't joke too much, especially in the circle, this sense of propriety is very important.

These few days of filming are divided into two groups, A and B. Group A is filming Huibin Building in the studio of Beijing Film Studio. It is the main line, and Sun Shupei personally directed it. Group B was filming the scenes of Huang Ama, the Queen, Rong Nai and others in Prince Gong's Mansion. It was regarded as a branch line, and Liping was in charge.

After putting on their makeup, a group of people came to the set. The group actors were already in place, and they practiced their positioning and rehearsal under the command of the assistant director.

"Xiao Li, I will shoot two cutscenes first, and then Xiao Jian's appearance scene, is there any problem?" Sun Shupei came over to explain to Li Tang.

After getting along for this period of time, although Li Tang's scenes have not been filmed yet, he has a very good impression of Li Tang.This young man has no airs and gets along well with the crew. What's even more rare is that Li Tang hasn't been lazy these days. He goes in and out with the crew every day, standing on the sidelines in costumes and watching.

This attitude alone is enough to impress Sun Shupei.

"No problem, Director."

After observing for so long, he was already eager to try.

Before the filming started, Li Tang went outside to warm up.

His warm-up movements are very meticulous, and he silently performed while warming up.

Today's scene is about Xiao Jian coming to the Huibin Building, drinking some wine, and then began to chant poems to pretend to be aggressive, which attracted the attention of Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Erkang and others who were also full and had nothing to do, and then the process of sympathizing with each other .

To be honest, Li Tang read the script for the first time, and felt very awkward when he saw this passage. No normal person would sit alone in a restaurant and chant poems loudly.But after careful consideration, I found that this is a Hong Kong and Taiwan costume drama, or a fixed routine in martial arts novels.

The so-called scholarly chivalrous men must be all kinds of pretense when they appear on the stage, reciting poems—literary talent, restaurants—there are many people, and there must be key figures. They are astonished by the poems, so they lead to the following story.

Xu was too focused. After the scene went through Li Tang's mind, he realized that there was a person standing beside him.

"Yo, old Mo!"

"Brother Li, your warm-up moves are quite standard." Lao Mo complimented with a smile.

Li Tang is self-aware that his warm-up movements are the most basic ones he learned in college in his previous life. He waved his hands and said, "No, no, I just move around... Oh, I almost forgot, you are studying physical education. , just to help me guide and guide."

Lao Mo, Mo Fengbin, played the role of Xiang Fei's lover Meng Dan in the play.

When they met for the first time, Li Tang saw that he was tall, dark-skinned, and mature, with a particularly striking square face, so he thought he was really a Mongolian compatriot.

It turned out that he was an authentic fellow from Henan, two years younger than himself, and Xiaoyanzi and Xiaoyanzi were classmates of Xie Jin Art School in the early years, and Xiaoyanzi helped recommend him to join the group.

Before he was admitted to Xie Jin Art School, he practiced sports, a sprinter.

"Where, where, Brother Li, how dare I guide you." Mo Fengbin hurriedly waved his hands and said modestly.

He is just a young actor. After Xie Jin graduated from the art school, he has never had any chance to perform seriously. If it wasn't for Xiao Yanzi's recommendation this time, he would have changed his career if he got the role of Meng Dan in the crew of "Returning the Pearl II".So he was even more low-key than Li Tang in the crew, and because of Little Swallow's attitude towards Li Tang, he usually didn't dare to get too close to Li Tang.

Today I happened to see Li Tang warming up, so I came over out of curiosity.

Li Tang didn't mind his refusal, and he could guess the twists and turns. Anyway, his body was almost active, so he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed him one.

"Thank you Brother Li!"

The young man stepped forward and quickly took out the lighter to help light it.

After taking two puffs of cigarettes, I saw a group of group performers wearing Tang Dynasty costumes queuing up to enter the studio not far away.Mo Fengbin hesitated for a moment, pointed at this group of people and smiled wryly: "Brother Li, to tell you the truth, I was one of them a few days ago."

He explained it tactfully.

Li Tang was quite surprised when he heard it, and asked, "Then you have been acting as a group performer for these few years?"

He and Little Swallow graduated from the first term of Xie Jin Art School, so three or four years have passed since then.

"That's right, but I still have another job, otherwise I would have starved to death just by being an extra."

Li Tang doesn't know much about the market here in the capital, but in Shanghai Film and Television Park, extras who usually play pedestrians on the street only cost ten yuan a day, unless you can get a role with one or two lines, the price may go up Let's make a point.

The key point is that this kind of opportunity to be an extra actor does not come every day. If you really want to make a living by being an extra actor, then you really obeyed Lao Mo's words-you would have starved to death.
