Chapter 6 "My Fair Princess 2" filming begins

Lin Xuan left the dressing room and met Fan Xiaopang who was coming to put on makeup.

"Congratulations, you successfully won the audition."

Fan Xiaopang had a smile in his eyes, and his previously worried heart was finally relieved.

"Thank you, thanks to your encouragement just now, otherwise I might not have been able to choose." Lin Xuan said a few polite words with a smile on his face.

After all, he is a popular star in the future, and he has some intention of making friends with him.

"Isn't it just a verbal thank you?" Fan Xiaopang climbed up the pole.

The two of them had not been in contact for long, but she quite enjoyed the process of chatting with Lin Xuan.

Unlike Zhou Jie, who holds a script every day and speaks sarcastically, or tries to pick on your acting skills.

It's just a costume idol drama. Even if you eat the script, you won't be able to perform well.

"Don't be kidding me. My daily salary is only a few dollars, but I can't afford to treat a big star like you to dinner."

Lin Xuan sees the problem very realistically. The identity gap between extras and actors is so big that what separates them is not a ditch but an ocean.

Even if he really spends money to treat him to a meal, Fan Xiaopang will not go. He will not have the dream of a poor boy counterattacking a big star.

But this big star sentence made Fan Xiaopang a little happy.

Handsome guys really have a good eye for things. Unlike those fools who always admire little swallows and crape myrtle, I am much prettier than them.

Thinking of his experience after becoming famous, Fan Xiaopang was moved in his heart and spoke a little more gently: "Actually, I don't pay attention to food, and I want to keep in shape. I can only eat a few pieces of meat per meal, and the rest is vegetables. .”

"Okay, when one day I make a lot of money, I will definitely treat you to a nice meal. I'll have enough meat."

"You are so handsome and have good acting skills, you can definitely do it."

After chatting for a while, Fan Xiaopang said goodbye and went into the house to put on makeup. Lin Xuan walked towards the filming location waving his whip.

This whip felt really good, and it made a whirring sound when he swung it. If he had had one when he was a child, there would have been no rapeseed in a radius of ten miles.

…………

At around nine o'clock in the morning, the camera, lighting, camera positions, and extras were all ready.

Sun Shupei gave the order and the filming of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2" officially started.

"go!"

"hurry up!"

On the path next to the woods, a group of Qing soldiers waved long whips and drove away more than a dozen prisoners.

The shackled Jin Suo was pushed forward by the Qing soldiers. On the way, he became unbearably thirsty and begged: "Master officers and soldiers, please give me some water."

The leading official heard someone talking in the crowd, followed the sound with a whip, came to him, and hit Jinsuo hard: "What water do you want to drink! We have to save this water for the next place, and it is not enough for us to drink."

"Ah! It hurts!" Jin Suo was slapped so hard that he screamed repeatedly.

"It hurts? Just leave quickly if it hurts!" The official showed no mercy.

Jin Suo was weak, pitiful and helpless, and could only move forward with tears in his eyes and sobs.

I feel pity for that little face crying.

Not long after walking, an old prisoner couldn't hold himself up and fell to the ground: "I want to drink water..."

Jin Suo quickly knelt down to support him: "Old man, are you okay? Please give him some water, he is about to faint."

At this time, the Qing soldier played by Lin Xuan strode on the stage: "Faint? I'll whip you a few times and you won't faint."

In order to prevent people from being injured, the whip should be raised high and put down gently. Anyway, there will be a dubbing of "papapapa", which sounds quite painful.

Seeing the cruelty and inhumanity of the officers and soldiers, Jin Suo stood up and cursed: "Why don't you have any sympathy at all? Don't you have any elderly people or parents at home?"

Good guy, if you greet each other's relatives as soon as you come up, you will naturally get a beating.

The Qing soldiers also took away the necklace from Jinsuo's neck. Jinsuo was unable to stop it and could only cry in despair.

Lin Xuan shook the necklace in his hand, and his expression gradually became fierce: "There is a gold chain hidden on me. I don't know if there are any other valuable jewelry. Hand it over quickly!" Fan Xiaopang was half lying on the ground with tears in his eyes. He begged: "Please spare me, there is nothing valuable on me."

"If you don't want to hand it over, then I'll take off your clothes and check it out."

This tastes just right.

It was Fan Xiaopang who played the role of Jin Suo. Not only did Lin Xuan not feel nauseous, he even felt a little ready to move.

That's all the content to be shot in the morning, basically the scenes between Lin Xuan and Fan Xiaopang.

Lin Xuan still performed stably and performed a violent and money-grubbing Qing soldier very well, even better than during the audition in the morning.

I was very nervous during the audition in the morning, and my expression was a bit too strong.

It's much better now. That greedy and lustful little expression doesn't look like an act at first glance.

But Fan Xiaopang has more problems here, and the focus of this part of the play is on her.

No matter how badly the beautiful Jin Suo was bullied by the officers and soldiers, Erkang and the others would be so happy in their revenge.

But Fan Xiaopang's acting skills were too poor, especially the crying scene. After brewing for a long time, he couldn't even squeeze out a few tears, let alone perform the desperate feeling of falling from heaven to hell.

Fortunately, Sun Shupei knew that her acting skills were poor, so he thought of a stupid way.

That is to let the entire crew accompany her over and over again.

At first, the extras were laughing and finding it interesting.

But the director never gave me any advice. He would do it again if it didn't work, and he didn't even have time to rest.

As time passed, the way they looked at Fan Xiaopang started to change.

Is this the acting level of a so-called star?

I can do it too.

Between the physical exhaustion and the mental pressure brought by the surrounding extras, Fan Xiaopang's nerves were about to break.

However, at this exact moment, her expression, posture, and even tone of voice were very close to Jin Suo's state at that time.

This method of torturing actors has been used by many directors, but the most famous is probably Kubrick.

When Kubrick was filming "The Shining", in order to get the heroine Shelly Duvall into state, he asked the crew not to care about praising her.

Whenever Shelly performed poorly at all, Kubrick would yell at her and reshoot certain scenes as many as 127 times, torturing Shelly until she had a mental breakdown and a lot of her hair fell out.

But Kubrick shot many classic scenes in film history because of this, especially when the hero used an ax to break the door, and Shelly's fear directly overflowed the screen.

Of course, Sun Shupei is not as cruel as Kubrick, and Fan Xiaopang cannot compare with the Cannes Best Actress even if his acting skills break out.

But in the end she still performed an effect that satisfied the director.

"Pass!"

At this moment, this sentence is the most beautiful voice in the world.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Xiaopang finally couldn't hold on any longer and sat directly on the ground, breathing heavily. His face was pale and there was no trace of blood.

Lin Xuan wasn't any better. Shooting continuously for such a long time required high standards. He couldn't be fooled. Even an iron man couldn't handle it.

"Call it done, it's time for dinner!"

The steward shouted with a loudspeaker, and the extras immediately ran towards the lunch boxes like wild horses.

Lin Xuan really had no strength and could only rest under a tree.

Fortunately, Wang Baoqiang didn't have many roles, but he was still very energetic. He rushed over at a sprint speed of [-] meters and grabbed two box lunches and two bowls of soup.

"Brother, I brought you a lunch box."

"Thank you"

Lin Xuan took the lunch box and turned to look at Fan Xiaopang on the side. He found that she had buried her head in her knees and there was no movement at all.
