Senior Superstar

Under the admiring eyes of a group of extras and prop masters, Li Shixin was very happy to see that the system's applause was worth a little more, which was enough for him to live another day.

Until now, he was not a little satisfied with his status as an old man.

Although the physical function is really bad, but decades of experience is really rare.

What a treasure old man!

Seeing several prop masters holding Yu Ruyi and not knowing what to do, Li Shixin waved his hands with a smile: "It's okay, don't give too clear a lens to let the experts see the flaws. You should use this prop! Do it! It’s so good, don’t feel bad about it.”

"What are you shouting about?"

At this moment, the assistant director Guan Lan and the group leader Zhang Shuo walked over together.

The stage manager yelled and told the props to work, Guan Lan asked Zhang Shuo to recruit a group of performers to start lecturing.

"Tell me about today's play. Listen carefully, I won't tell you a second time."

"This scene was filmed when the Allied Forces of the Eight Nations attacked outside the capital, the queen mother and emperor ran away, and the Qing soldiers stationed in the capital also scattered like birds and beasts. Everyone in the streets and alleys of the whole capital was in a mess. You group of performers will be replaced by Qing soldiers in a while. You run from the east side of the street to the west side. When you run, if you meet a civilian blocking you, just push him aside. The main thing is to show three words, panic, chaos, and anxiety! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The scene was quite simple, and dozens of extra performers nodded in unison.

"It's a good deal. After a while, this scene will be a panoramic long shot of more than 20 seconds, a big scene. There are more than two hundred extra performers, please give me a little care, let's fight for one and pass. Understand? ?”

"Understood the director!"

Seeing that the group performers were in good spirits, Guan Lan nodded and left.

Li Shixin looked at Zhang Shuo.

Acting as a soldier of the Qing Dynasty... I can't move my legs and feet, I can't run.

"Young man, how did I arrange it?"

"Ah, you." Zhang Shuo glanced at him, teasingly said: "Just now I specially asked the director to arrange a good role for you. After a while, you will change into a beggar's costume, kneel down on the side of the road with a broken bowl and go become."

Wait a minute?

Li Shixin frowned, "Didn't you agree to have a line?"

"Yes!" Zhang Shuo, the leader of the group, chuckled, "I'm always begging for food, you always just say a few words about the old man, don't you just have to do it?"

Looking at Zhang Shuo's expression of "Old man, which of us is better", Li Shixin's old face covered with spots sank.

The lad is too young.

It is too young.

Play this game with your uncle?

become.

Let's read the ledger on a donkey—we'll see!

...

This scene this morning is actually to explain the background of the story, and the big scene is extended, emphasizing a sense of the times.

The big scene does not have such high requirements for individual actors. As soon as those group performers playing Qing soldiers changed their costumes and put on fake braids and hat-like officer and soldier hats, everything would be fine.

This is the case for the group that is the focus of the lens, and the other group performances are easier to handle.

Anyway, none of the appearance shots lasted more than two seconds, just simple clothing and styling. Most of the ensemble performers often perform in the palace dramas of the Qing Dynasty. Most of the men have shaved bald heads, and they have 80% of the taste of Qing Dynasty if they stick fake braids. The women are simply hairstyled by makeup artists.

Fortunately, the crew is relatively strict, not all the extras have the same virtue.

The one who put on makeup for Li Shixin was a pretty young girl, who was also connected to the Fu Hua Dao department of the crew. Just now Li Shixin gave a "class" to several prop masters, and the little girl obviously heard it too.

Li Shixin's makeup is actually easy to draw.

He didn't have much hair in the first place, so he just glued rough fake braids on the hair close to his scalp, and then smeared some black ash on his face.

While sticking Li Shixin's braids, the little girl looked at him.

"Girl, is there something on my face?" Li Shixin asked, uncomfortable being looked at by the little girl.

"No." The little girl had a cheerful personality, she showed two dimples and a pair of small canine teeth when she smiled, and she looked pretty.

"I just feel that you are about the same age as my grandfather, and it is too rare to come here to be an extra performer. Usually when you appear in the crew at your age, we have to be called teachers. But you, you have never acted in a play. ...I heard that you took today's job by relying on Pingcier, so it's interesting."

Li Shixin chuckled, and said: "If it weren't for the real difficulties, who would be willing to suffer such foreign crimes at such an old age."

Seeing that his face seemed to be filled with stories, the little girl was stunned: "Master, how do you say this. Could it be that you still have some difficulties?"

"It's a long story, little girl, if you do a good job of makeup for the uncle, I'll tell you about it."

"It's done! I'll draw it for you in detail, and you can talk about it. Just treat me as a leisure, and you can relieve my boredom."

"When I was young, I liked to act in dramas on stage, but unfortunately, in that special era, you will not be allowed to act well!

In 1972, my wife had just given birth to a child, and I was framed. Your aunt couldn't stand the stimulation, and it was at that time that she died.

Later on, I brought up my children and got married and had children. Now is a good time, but in a blink of an eye, this life is over. A few days ago, I was sick and hospitalized, and the doctor told me that I may not have many days left.

At this point, when I think back, I feel that my life has been wasted. If you don't take advantage of this little time to chase your dreams, I'm afraid you will have to go into the coffin with regrets. "

Li Shixin originally wanted to fool the little girl and let her put on makeup on himself.

As a result, as he talked, he was infected by those memories, and he felt uncomfortable.

Seeing his cloudy eyes full of sorrow, the little girl couldn't stop crying.

She hugged Li Shixin's arm from behind, and the little girl patted Li Shixin's shoulder heavily: "Master, you are very handsome. Don't worry, I will definitely make a good appearance for you today. Whatever you say, you have to do it." Make your dream come true."

Next to it, a group of extras were squatting on the ground and being picked up and down by the make-up artist, their heads were treated like footballs.

Seeing Li Shixin hugging the make-up artist girl all of a sudden, he was stunned.

This uncle... is old at heart,

Alas, you shameless old man, holding on to the little girl and not letting go! "

Ho, bah!

drop,

Li Shixin, who was hugging the makeup artist girl, was also surprised when he received more than 800 applause points.

"What's happening here?"

...

After a while, the extras were all in place. The field scheduler took advantage of the time before the start of the show to lead the group of performers to run.

Li Shixin was the slowest in drawing, and when he got to the place, he had gone through most of the group performances.

Looking at a group of extra performers who were sweating their foreheads and then looking at himself, a sense of superiority arose spontaneously in Li Shixin's heart.

The painting style is different!

The other ensemble performers just smeared a little black dust on their faces casually, and their costumes were just rolled on the ground in order to reflect the mess.

What about yourself?

On the face, the little makeup artist girl used essential oils and dust, and then used a small watering can to make a little bit of sweat stains. Dirty is dirty, but it doesn't affect the facial image at all.

A fake braid was also re-shaped, the gray braid was tied around the neck, matched with the long gown that the little girl specially added some patches to and made it old, and the simple hand made with special paint gap.

Hey,

With this image, a beggar is also a beggar with a story!

If you look at the other swarm performers, who are holding guns and knives, they are just pale extras.

The gap, this is the gap!

After looking at the situation, he leaned over to the dispatcher and asked, "Young man, what am I going to do in a while?"

"What are you playing?"

"beggar."

"What's the matter, you? Eat s..." The dispatcher was very angry, but after seeing that Li Shixin was an old man, he immediately took back the swearing.

Looking at the scene, he scratched his head, "Master, you don't have to follow them, just hold the props for a while and just find a place to kneel down. Don't move around when you hear the power on, it will be fine in a while. As for the movements, You can just figure it out yourself. Anyway, the camera just shakes for a while."

Li Shixin looked at the scene and understood.

Dare to love the role of yourself, the degree of freedom is quite high.

Watching groups of performers running around, and then looking at the location of the machines, I knew what to expect.

Finding a camera that will definitely pass by, and will stay there for a while, Li Shixin slowly sat on the ground, narrowed his eyes slightly, and straightened his back.

As an old man with ideals and aspirations, it is impossible to kneel.

All right,

It's not that the old man has gold under his knees, but that the old cold legs really can't bend...

But it doesn't matter.

As an extra actor, what is the most important thing?

Is it acting?

No.

It is to know how to steal the show...
