Chapter 8 action
After a while, Bao Qiang and three extras rushed over, and then a stage manager brought a dozen pieces of coarse cloth and asked a few people to change quickly.
Those coarse cloth clothes had obviously not been washed or dried for a long time, and when they were shaken off, they were full of mildew and sweat.
Xu Kun had never worn such dirty clothes in prison, but seeing that others were accustomed to it, he couldn't be picky. He chose the largest size at random, then grabbed Bao Qiang, who was also choosing clothes, and asked, "Are you not?" Why is the second female substitute wearing this thing?"
"Let's make up the numbers for the crew."
Before Baoqiang could reply, the extras who had previously worked with Wang Peng rushed to explain: "It's not enough for just the few of us. Later, everyone in the crew who is not busy will have to follow behind to fill the scene, but the real rush We were the only ones who were beaten."
Sure enough, after a while, the stage manager brought another pile of clothes for other people in the crew to choose from.
These clothes are obviously much cleaner. From this, we can also see the status and treatment of the extras in the crew.
Everyone was not particular about it. They went around to the back of the minibus, took off their clothes and put on costumes. Then they took props and weapons, and a group of ROC bandits emerged.
At this time, Wang Peng had also put on his costume. The fabrics and materials were pretty much the same, but he half-opened his arms to reveal a palm to protect his heart hair. His hair was disheveled and his beard was disheveled. He was holding a thick-backed ghost head in his hand. The knife looks like a gangster.
It turns out that his stubble was not because he was too lazy to clean it up, but because he wanted to get closer to the character in the play.
Another deputy director of the crew briefly discussed with Wang Peng, and then led Xu Kun, Bao Qiang and others through the scene twice.
The general plot is that Wang Peng and his brothers ambush on both sides of the official road. When they see a carriage coming, they pull up the horse rope to block the way, and then rush out swarm to rob.
The female bodyguard lost her sweetheart and was filled with grief. She just vented her emotions on these robbers. However, she was plotted because of her carelessness. Then she had to protect the young master and retreat, hiding nearby. in the woods.
Later, the female bodyguard was kicked down the slope by the bandit leader. Seeing that her life was in danger, the ten-year-old young master took out his gun and shot randomly, scaring away the bandits.
The assistant director and Wang Peng split the scene of blocking the road into four shots. The first shot is Wang Peng ordering the rope to be pulled; the second shot is the carriage being blocked by the horse rope; the third shot is the bandits rushing towards the carriage; The fourth shot shows the carriage being stopped and the two sides confronting each other.
The purpose of the existence of several extras is to rush up and be beaten repeatedly by the second female lead after their appearance, creating the illusion of being surrounded by dozens of people.
Xu Kun didn't understand the technical terminology, so he only firmly remembered his position. Whether he was lying on his stomach or rushing out, he had to follow Wang Peng's right side.
In fact, the character Xu Kun can barely be regarded as the second-in-command among the bandits. Unfortunately, all the bandit scenes are on Wang Peng, and only Wang Peng has a follow-up plot.
After rehearsing several times, the young master and the female bodyguard, who had received personal guidance from Director Sun, were already in position two to three hundred meters away in a carriage.
So everyone returned to the ambush point. Wang Peng lay on the meadow with his head held high, a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, and looked out as if he was setting up a pergola with his deputy. Xu Kun and three other extras lay diagonally behind him. , and further away are the crew members who are all kinds of tall, short, fat and thin.
He had just been focusing on recording his movements during the drill and didn't think much about it. When he saw the camera not far in front, Xu Kun felt a little panicked for no reason, as if there were countless ants crawling on his body.
But he didn't dare to move at all, so he had to open his eyes to the point of three-white eyes, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips vigorously, using his natural fierce look and small movements to hide the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.
At this time, the cameraman seemed to have discovered something. The camera tilted slightly towards Xu Kun, and the other extras were out of the shooting range.
"Okay, the filming will officially start next, everyone is ready!"
The assistant director shouted twice with the tin speaker, then stepped aside and gave the C seat to Director Sun. The old man first measured the viewfinder with both hands, then took the tin speaker and shouted: "Action! "
Wang Peng, who stretched out his head to watch, paused for two seconds, then suddenly shrank his neck and fell back to the ground, spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth with a 'bah' sound, and said viciously in a low voice: "Coming, coming! Wait until I count. When it’s three, you pull up the tripping rope!”
As he spoke, he showed three fingers with his hands behind his back: "One, two... 屮!"
The setting here is that when he shouts two, the gangsters pull up the horse rope as soon as they are nervous, causing the driver to brake in advance and not hit the trap - and the reason for this setting is mainly to avoid injuries to the horse and people. A waste of the crew's limited funds.
Wang Peng punched the meadow hard, picked up the ghost head sword next to him and jumped up, shouting: "Brothers, charge! There will be a reward for catching the second young master of the Li family!"
The others also yelled and climbed up, chasing Wang Peng with their swords raised, and rushed towards the imaginary carriage - in fact, the carriage was still parked two hundred meters away at this time.
"CUT!"
As soon as Xu Kun ran about ten steps away, he heard the assistant director shouting, and he slowly stopped his steps. It took him a few seconds to get rid of the excitement of preparing to kill someone.
There seem to be disadvantages and advantages to putting oneself into the role. For example, it is easy to get carried away and forget that one is acting.
Fortunately it's not a one shot shot.
At this time, the cameraman suddenly said to Xu Kun: "When we started shooting just now, you should have licked your lips again." Xu Kun was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Then I can do it all over again?"
The cameraman shook his head and walked away.
Because this scene involved extra performers that he had recruited, Chen Xuebin was also watching nearby. Hearing the conversation between the two, he came up curiously to ask what happened.
Xu Kun scratched his head uncertainly and said: "He probably thought that I had a very, very strong movement before shooting..."
"Quite photogenic?"
"Yes, it's quite photogenic, so I felt a bit pity that I didn't do it during the filming."
"Oh~"
Chen Xuebin nodded clearly, and couldn't help but think highly of Xu Kun. This kid was able to get lines for the first time as an extra, and he could also make the cameraman look at him differently. He must have something that others don't have.
Not to mention that Xu Kun has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. If he is successful, he may have a better future than Baoqiang - Baoqiang's appearance conditions are set here. In Chen Xuebin's opinion, the upper limit is at most similar to Wang Peng.
"Okay, this one passed!"
Director Sun's half-baked Hong Kong pop sounded not far away, and Xu Kun couldn't help but secretly regret it. He originally thought that if the director was not satisfied, he could make up for the lip licking action.
Chen Xuebin saw what he was thinking, shook his head and said: "Except for the drama in the car before, or some big problems, our crew basically does it all in one go, and there is rarely any reshooting."
The person surnamed Sun is indeed seeking public benefit for his own benefit!
Xu Kun was so indignant that he even seriously considered whether he should give Director Sun a slap in the face - he didn't do it all to uphold justice or show mercy, but mainly because he couldn't bear it every time he heard Director Sun using Hong Kong to curse people. I want to kill him.
At this time, the crew was already filming the scene where the carriage was stopped by the horse rope.
Wang Peng led everyone back to the ambush point, and only waited for the carriage scene to be finished before leading the charge again.
Sure enough, the scene where the carriage was stopped was also shot.
Soon the camera and lights turned to the vicinity of the ambush point. As the old man said "action", the bandits immediately started running wildly. This time Xu Kun didn't get up, but as he ran he noticed something was wrong around him. , the extras who had worked with Wang Peng before moved directly up to him and kept pushing him to the side.
After Xu Kun thought about it for a while, he understood what this guy was up to. He probably heard what Chen Xuebin said, so he wanted to use tricks to steal his C position and lines - anyway, the crew is all in one, as long as there are no big mistakes. , there will definitely not be reshoots just because of the infighting among the extras.
But this guy obviously made a wrong calculation.
Xu Kun sneered secretly, and when the man squeezed in again, he deliberately showed weakness and slowed down, giving up his position.
Just when the man thought he had time, Xu Kun caught up from the side and rear and bumped into him as usual.
The group of performers were caught off guard and squeezed behind Wang Peng. By the time he reacted and wanted to adjust, Wang Peng had already led the team to stop in front of the carriage, and Wang Baoqiang also quietly occupied his original position at Xu Kun's signal.
"CUT!"
After the director called the card, the assistant director and Chen Xuebin came over together and scolded the extras who were squeezed behind Wang Peng:
"What's going on?"
"Why are you running around?"
The actors knew that they were at fault first and did not dare to argue, so they could only keep apologizing.
The assistant director and Chen Xuebin cursed a few times, but in the end they had no choice but to let it go and let the actors give up their original positions and follow Wang Peng.
This guy stole the chicken but lost the rice, and the mute couldn't tell the story of the pain of eating Coptis chinensis. When it came time to shoot the confrontation between the two parties, he could only try to put his feet up as much as possible, trying to reach over Wang Peng's shoulders to reveal his whole face.
But although Wang Peng was running in front, he knew exactly what was happening behind him. So after the filming started, he immediately raised his knife, raised his arms and shouted: "Everyone in the car, get out of here!"
This time, half of the guy's face was gone, not to mention his whole face.
After the second female lead made her debut, Xu Kun finally got his wish and uttered the first line of his career as an actor:
"Brother, these girls are so good-looking!"
