Full-time actor

Chapter 16 【16】Start filming and get into the action!

"Guo Tou, if I said at the beginning that I had done group acting, would you believe it?"

Chen Yu suddenly asked back.

Guo Chenyu thought about it and realized that no one would believe that Chen Yu looked like this. He had been an extra, right?

"Then you didn't tell Wang Chang?"

"Well, he won't believe what I said. Instead, he will think that I am qualified for this job after I have been an extra for a few days!"

"It seems a bit redundant..."

What Chen Yu said was reasonable, and Guo Chenyu nodded repeatedly.

This guy has some skills and is a good performer.

"Then if you've ever done a group performance, I won't tell you some precautions!"

"You all understand, right?"

Guo Chenyu didn't take Chen Yu's concealment that he had been a group actor to heart, but instead saved him the trouble of talking.

"Understood, I will pay attention!"

Chen Yu promised very seriously, and Guo Chenyu also put aside his previous attitude of looking down on him. The kid in front of him was much smarter and cleverer than many extras he had seen.

"Then you follow them in a moment. When the director says start, you enter the scene!"

"Whatever they do, you do!"

Guo Chenyu pointed at the extras in costumes, and Chen became more aware.

In fact, he knew which scene in "Toward a Republic" they were going to shoot later.

There is only one scene in the entire 68 episodes of "Towards a Republic" where he wears so many childhood suits and raises his arms in protest.

The RB Navy was full of wings, and Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi, Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu and others conspired to take advantage of the civil strife in Korea and wanted to send troops to land, provoke Qing troops, and start a war with the Qing Dynasty.

However, the Japanese government has been hesitant.

Therefore, Chen Yu and other extras were a group of people protesting at the cabinet.

They need to raise their voices and criticize the small-time government.

Ito Hirobumi took the opportunity to remonstrate, and finally Emperor Meiji issued the order to attack.

"Have all the props and costumes been changed?"

"Filming starts soon!"

A filming assistant shouted with a loudspeaker, and Chen Yu was the first to walk towards the filming set.

He knows where he stands.

The set was a temporary RB cabinet, with camera tracks, curtains, etc. all tightly covered.

The leading actors were walking back and forth, some holding scripts, trying to figure out how to perform the tension for a while; Chen Yu did not look around, but quickly stood up in his position. Only then did he have time to look at the director and several others. Starring direction.

The starring role is of course the actor who played Ito Hirobumi. Chen Yu didn't know him, but he checked the information in his previous life and found that he was an RB actor.

And his co-star, Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu, is also played by RB.

In order to highlight the most realistic and heavy epic, this drama has several Japanese characters without any ambiguity.

Otherwise, in the backcourt, the field manager would not ask Ishino Koji and Chen Yu whether their Japanese was authentic or not. There really couldn't be any drama.

"Okay, let's get started, hit the board!"

"Let's try a set!"

The director turned out to be a woman, wearing a peaked cap. She stood up from the monitor and shouted to everyone.

Chen Yu originally thought he would see Zhang Li, the director of "Toward the Republic", who is a famous TV drama director in later generations; "Toward the Republic", a drama with a score of 9.7 on Douban, is not his peak, it is the most awesome one he has directed. This drama is the ceiling of Chinese TV dramas and the king of Chinese dramas "Ming Dynasty 1566".

The Douban score is 9.8, definitely the best drama in China.

Chen Yu guessed that the female director in front of him was the assistant director or director's assistant.

For many less important plots, many crews will choose to shoot them this way.

This is also normal in the film and television circles. After the female director finished speaking, the two leading actors, who were trying to figure out their roles, immediately came to the set; they didn't need to make any adjustments at all, and just standing there, they were in perfect condition immediately.

This is the level of entry for a great actor.

In "Toward a Republic", any one of the more than 200 leading actors is actually of this level.

This also shows how great this show is.

Whoa!
  At this time, all the extras also began to find their own positions, and the originally noisy set suddenly became quiet.

Several cameras were on standby, and the photographers were in shooting mode.

"Scene 214 of "Towards a Republic", the first time!"

Snapped!
  The clapperboard recorded that a group performer not far in front of Chen Yu suddenly shouted loudly: "The lifeline of the empire is Korea!"

An extremely authentic Japanese sentence, Chen Yu felt that this actor should also be Japanese.

However, he had no time to think about this. The moment the slate was taken, Chen Yu quickly entered the stage of drama.

Even if he is just an extra, he still has to play his part well.

Although he only needs to raise his arms in protest, this does not mean that he only needs to stand there and wave his arms.

Although the extras behind Chen Yu did this, Chen Yu understood this plot and even watched "Toward the Republic" many times, and fully understood what kind of situation they were in now.

This is probably the most powerful golden finger for him, a reborn person.

He knows the plot better than the director, knows what effect he wants to achieve during the shooting, what the position is, what are the causes and consequences...

After all, Chen Yu was the only one in the audience who had watched this show.

Therefore, in such a situation, Chen Yu undoubtedly has an advantage over the leading actor if he wants to play this role.

……

"The lifeline of the empire is Korea!"

Sitting in front of the monitor, the female assistant director of "Toward a Republic", Jana Shahati, is holding her chin in her hand and holding a walkie-talkie in the other hand, and is watching the filming on the monitor screen attentively.

The extra performer who just spoke was a student she recruited from the Japanese Department of Nortel through her connections.

But his performance was not satisfactory, but his Japanese line skills were very good.

"Let's make do with it!"

"No problem later, just keep one!"

Jiana was talking to herself, and suddenly, she saw a good lens in her sight.

A handsome extra performer gritted his teeth in indignation and waved his arms in protest again and again. The veins on his arms were popping out, and every wave of his arms was very powerful.

What surprised Jiana even more was the look in his eyes.

Those eyes were particularly bright, and in the sweeping shots captured by the surveillance camera, it left a deep impression on people.

It was a very complicated look, the feeling of hating iron but not steel.

Whether a person has acting skills or not, the director can actually tell at a glance.

"Crack-"

Jiana suddenly picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted.

The two RB starring actors, who were about to speak, were suddenly shaken. They both turned their heads and looked at the director in disbelief.

It hasn't started yet, why is it so loud?
  Did the extras not perform well?

Many of the extras present were trembling, and those with some experience knew that if the lead actor didn't start and the director yelled "Ka", it was definitely a problem with their extras.

Everyone looked at the extra performer who started shouting.

The faces of the actors were also very ugly, thinking that something was wrong with the performance just now, because he was really nervous.

"Have you ever acted?"

Jiana Shahati suddenly stood up and walked towards Chen Yu.
