  Chapter 8 The Late Male Third

   Chapter 8: The late male number three

  Li Shixin drank tea leisurely for a while, and the second game was ready.

  He is old, and was praised by the director in public just now. The people in the crew have a good impression of him. While everyone else was busy, Li Shixin borrowed the script of "The End of the Forbidden" from the drama office and took a look.

  He thought this drama was so well-made, it must be a long drama.

  In his time and space, this kind of drama from the late Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China is a proper tool for defrauding money. After all, TV series are sold for money according to the number of episodes, so this kind of period drama with relatively large investment, in order to recover the cost or profit, I will shoot you 40 or 50 episodes at every turn. The 20th and 30th episodes, that can be called conscience.

  But to his surprise, the script of "The End of the Forbidden City" has only twelve episodes!

  This really makes Li Shixin a little bit unbelievable.

  The background of the story is that in 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces knocked on the gate of the country, and Cixi fled westward. In the troubled times, Ma Incheon, the son of the protagonist of Foreign Affairs Minister Maen Ming, was inspired by Li Shiqi, who appeared to be a Liyuan actor but was actually a revolutionary, and assembled a group of lofty people to resist. Later, in order to return to Luang, Cixi not only negotiated reparations with the great powers, but also executed a large number of princes and ministers who were listed as war criminals by the invaders and civilians.

  The whole story advances very quickly. Although the emotional drama between the protagonist and the heroine is irritating, it is not abrupt at all when interspersed in troubled times. On the contrary, it was the last scene; Ma Incheon was arrested and was about to be executed. The heroine, who had already escaped successfully, wore red makeup on the day of execution, and sang the famous Peking opera "Mandarin Duck Tomb" for the protagonist on the execution ground, and then the part of his death, more It is to push the whole plot to a climax.

  The plot is not very exciting, but it is compact enough.

  The fly in the ointment is that the "Saqia" part of the male number three in the play is awkward. Every time this character appears, not only is it useless to promote the plot, but also the lines and the character's journey from a dandy to a generous lofty man seems to be a bit rush and far-fetched.

   "Master, why do you still frown when you look at it? What's wrong, the script is not good?" Seeing Li Shixin frowned, the actor on the side squeezed a cigarette **** and smiled.

  Li Shixin shook his head, closed the script and returned it back: "Very good, but I think this male number three is a bit redundant."

  The film manager smiled, seeing no one on the left and right, lowered his voice and said: "This is a role requested by the management. The management has appointed Liu Xin, a junior student, to join the team. At that time, the script was written and changed temporarily!"

Oh.

  Li Shixin nodded deeply.

Just say   .

  This makes sense.

  The little friends of big bosses, can't afford to provoke them.

  Compared to the first scene in the morning, the shooting of the second scene was obviously much smoother.

  Rongdian World Studios is the place where most RB ghosts are killed, and tens of thousands of RB ghosts are killed every day. Although it is a joke, it also shows that there are really many anti-Japanese dramas in Rongdian.

  Most of the group performers present have played the RB Devil, and the scenes of burning, killing, looting, and looting are already very familiar.

  This scene of foreign soldiers entering the capital can be described as fluent and flowing, almost just one pass.

   After a lot of work, it was noon.

  Although there were some twists and turns in the two scenes in the morning, the effect of the big scene scheduling was good. The director was very happy and asked the dramatist to arrange extra meals.

  Although Li Shixin mentioned his dietary requirements to the group before, he did not take it seriously.

  My body is getting older, and my appetite is greatly reduced. Although he spent all morning on the set, there was no feeling of hunger in his stomach.

  But thinking that there will be a movie in the afternoon, and the studio is far away from the commercial area, so he saw the crew start dinner, he walked over slowly.

  To be honest, the crew’s lunch was pretty good.

  In the box lunch, there are two meat, two vegetarian dishes and four dishes, and an extra chicken leg is added.

  Li Shixin just received a boxed lunch from the field office, and he heard someone calling himself behind him.

"Oh! Father, I have been looking for you for a long time! Why did you come here to deal with it? The millet porridge and pickles from the party De Porridge Shop are specially bought for you! Hurry, hurry, the director is there waiting for you to eat !"

   Immediately afterwards, the leader of the group, Zhang Shuo, sprang out from behind and could not help but snatched the lunch from Li Shixin's hands.

  "Hey, how embarrassed?" Seeing Zhang Shuo use chopsticks to pull the food from the box lunch back into the dish, Li Shixin smiled and said with his back.

  "What's the embarrassment, hurry, hurry, the director is waiting for you to eat together!"

   aside.

  The cast members looked at the group heads who owe even a smile to them, and asked Li Shixin to the special dining area of ​​the director group like a dog, and their eyes widened one by one.

  At this moment, they suddenly felt that the hard-earned chicken legs in their hands were not fragrant anymore!

   "Master, let me tell you about the scene for a while. Please pay attention to a few points."

  After lunch, Guan Lan carried a bottle of mineral water and found Li Shixin with the newly revised script.

"Your scene in the afternoon is an opponent scene with the male No. 3. The scene is that after the Eight-Nation Alliance entered the city, the character of the beggar you played was beaten by the RB soldiers and was severely injured. When he was still alive, he met the male. Number three. At the last moment of life, you told the male number three to ignore you and ask him to pick up a sword to defend his home and country."

  Hearing this, Li Shixin nodded.

  When he read the script before, he felt that the motive of the role of the male number three from being a kid to a patriot was not very strong, and it seemed that the whole role was very imaginary. After Guan Langa's scene, the male No. 3's motivation to resist is a bit more, and the whole character also has a more obvious mental journey.

  Adding such a scene, it seems that the whole plot is much smoother.

  "There are five lines in your line. I will give you the script in a while. You are familiar with it."

   "Don't worry, isn't it just five lines? It's not bad!" Li Shixin nodded. Originally, he planned to run a trick to familiarize himself with the market, but he didn't expect to have a character with lines.

  This is a surprise.

Seeing the confidence on Li Shixin's face, Guan Lan nodded and smiled.

But after laughing, he hesitated, and said, "Master, although you have never acted in a play. But I can see that you still have the skills in drama decades ago. That male number three actor, Younger. Maybe in the performance. Let me tell you this. Later, when you play with him, you will bring him with your emotions."

  Before, I heard from the other side of the scene that the actor of the male number three was temporarily added by the boss of the management, and Li Shi's confidence has already been counted.

  He didn’t see many actors like this before crossing.

  Most of them are some traffic stars, and then I see which drama is more popular, and I temporarily come over to spend time. Give yourself some exposure.

  An actor like this, don't expect him to have acting skills.

   But this is not something he is worrying about. Now he is a senior man, and getting the chance to play with the male number three is already a great luck.

  In order to be able to save enough of his cheers, and live longer, Li Shixin nodded deeply.

  At half past one in the afternoon, the crew started to get busy again after they ran out of lunch.

  According to what Guan Lan just told him, this male number three will be there at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. There are a few lines in total, and he can finish work and go home in about ten minutes.

  After lunch, Li Shixin took the script and memorized his lines.

  There are not many lines, and the gold content is quite high;

  Old beggar: Don’t be sad, young man.

  Saqia: Old man, hold on to you!

  Old beggar: I can't stand the death of a man, the old man knows it well.

  Saqia: Don’t take the trouble to speak, the elderly, I have good medicine in my home, and I will treat you immediately!

  Old beggar: Don’t bother. The old man has been like duckweed all his life, kneeling in this world for more than ten years. Now that he can stand straight and quench the saliva of Xiao Dongyang's face, this old bone is worth death! Take, take up the knife to drive away the captives, and return to China!

  Just these five lines.

  Li Shixin repeated memorizing more than a dozen times, and finally he was so cooked.

  But, the lines are ready.

   Male number three skipped the vote.

  Li Shixin was sitting in the shed of the props group. Seeing that the three big scenes in the afternoon were filmed, seeing that the group performers changed their costumes and went home, seeing that Guan Lan took the phone and urged them anxiously several times.

  I can’t wait until the sun is slanting west, and all the tired birds in the woods outside the set have returned to their nests. There is no shadow of this male number three.

  Beginning of autumn is over. Although the temperature is not low at noon, the weather is still cold at dusk.

  At half past four, seeing the sun is almost down. Finally, there was a sound of engine outside the set from far to near. Immediately afterwards, a Toyota Alpha nanny car stopped in front of Li Shixin with a long smoke.

  A tall and thin young man with big sunglasses and a peaked cap jumped out of the car.

  After finding Guan Lan with a cold face in the crowd, he said lightly: "I'm sorry, director, there was something temporarily. It's a little bit late, let's start quickly."

  After taking a deep look at the other party, Guan Lan turned and yelled: "My legs are rusty? Didn't you see Ah Xin arrived? Don't work yet, waiting to stay up late on the set to cultivate immortals?"

   is obviously upset.
