Chapter 3 Joining the Group
Soon it was time to join the crew. This time the filming took place at the largest film and television base in the country, which had buildings from various periods and dynasties to meet the needs of various crews.
Being in the film and television city, there is a feeling of time distortion.
Lu Yuqi is quite familiar with this place, after all, he has acted before. Although he positions himself as an idol star, he will not easily give up the opportunity to act. Although he played small roles with only one or two lines, such as the protagonist's little follower, the protagonist's classmate, and the heroine's admirer.
This web drama is a light comedy of martial arts with a group of characters, and the story takes place in Licheng during the Tai'an period. Licheng is a small frontier town and a must-pass place leading to Zhouxi State. Due to the frequent trade between the two countries, Licheng is small but very lively.
Lin Mu plays the chief escort of the Flying Eagle Escort Agency. The Feiying Escort Agency is the number one escort agency in Licheng. The chief escort thinks he is the best in martial arts in Licheng and is the guardian of Licheng. On days when he is not escorting, he patrols Licheng and takes care of all matters big and small in the city. However, everyone also respects him very much, and wherever he appears, problems can always be resolved quickly.
Song Xiuyuan plays the role of a scholar, who is the accountant of both Ping'an Inn and Feiying Escort Agency. He always says "Mr. Tiananmen" and when he meets someone causing trouble, he is the first to run away.
The actress who plays the female owner of Ping'an Inn is a college student and an old acquaintance of the screenwriter and director, and also an alumnus. Lu Yuqi didn't expect that the young Lin Wan was so feminine, but her eyes curved when she smiled, making people feel very friendly. This role is really suitable for her.
The female shopkeeper of Ping An Inn is a remarkable woman. One of her biggest hobbies is cooking. The dishes she cooks are a golden signboard in Licheng.
Her biggest hobby is picking up things, no matter how big or small, whether it's a person or an object, as long as they have no owner she will pick them up, and everything she picks up becomes her property. So far, the one who has picked up things most successfully is the swordsman.
The swordsman is taciturn, and he is played by Ke Qing. Lu Yuqi and Ke Qing are quite familiar with each other, having met each other in several dramas before. Both of them are minor characters, there is little competition, and their relationship is pretty good.
"Swordsman, the female shopkeeper is ready. Let's shoot the scene of picking up someone." Maybe director Fang Zheng and Lin Wan are more familiar with each other, so the first scene starts with the female shopkeeper. Generally, if the first scene is filmed smoothly, it means that the entire drama will also be filmed smoothly.
The first scene is that the female shopkeeper picked up an unconscious swordsman on the roadside. The female shopkeeper brought him back to the inn. After the swordsman woke up, he stayed in the inn, saying that he wanted to repay the female shopkeeper for saving his life. The female shopkeeper threw up her sleeves and said, "Another freeloader." Then she went downstairs. Although he expressed disgust in words, he did not chase the swordsman away.
Of course, the other person who gets free food is the musician played by Lu Yuqi. The character of the pianist is both good and evil. He is good because he never kills innocent people. He is a pianist but he can only play one song, and he doesn't play it well. Evil is easy to understand, he comes from the devil and practices magic.
Maybe because the whole drama is made up of young people and everyone gets along very well, it was the first time that Lu Yuqi felt so happy on the crew.
Although Fang Zheng is a young director, his nitpicking attitude at the beginning still makes people want to put him in a sack.
Lu Yuqi had been hanging on the wire for more than three hours and had spent the entire afternoon on it. Just because Fang Zheng felt that the hair did not look good when it was falling, and did not reflect the elegance of the pianist, she took the photo over and over again from multiple angles and positions.
"Director, are you alright? If you keep hanging me down, I think your musician won't be able to perform gracefully anymore."
"Do it again." Fang Zheng continued to stare at the monitor, with no intention of stopping.
Lu Yuqi cooperated with the staff without saying a word and did it again.
"Good. Pass!"
After hearing the director's shout, the staff nearby came over immediately and untied the wire on Lu Yuqi. Lu Yuqi limped towards the monitor and came to Fang Zheng, expressing that he wanted to take a look. Fang Zheng also generously gave up her seat. And he also found all the photos taken in the previous few times for Lu Yuqi,
"Look, this time your hair is blocking your face, this time your gesture of holding the piano is not graceful and a little stiff, this time..."
There were always things he was not satisfied with every time, but for the last two times, Fang Zheng said that it was the effect he wanted, but he would be prudent to take one more shot to keep it safe.
"I finally understand why Lin Wan said she wanted to put a sack on you."
"Hahahaha. Right? I said that when he gets that excited, I really want to put him in a sack." Lin Wan, who was waiting on the side, laughed happily.
"Finally I'm not the only one being tortured by him."
"Swordsman, get ready for the next match." Fang Zheng ignored Lin Wan, who was standing next to her and wanted to drag Lu Yuqi along to complain about him.
"Musician, you should also get ready. I will be filming your fight scene later."
"Are you sure you want me to shoot a fight scene after I've been hanging on wires for an entire afternoon? Then should I still hang on wires?"
"Well...I didn't think it through. You should take a rest first. We'll shoot again tomorrow. If it doesn't work, tell me. Lin Wan, I'll shoot you later."
"Okay director, I'll go back and rest first."
When Lu Yuqi returned to the hotel, his assistant Xiao Chen had already prepared dinner and plasters.
"Brother Lu, I heard this plaster is very effective, you should try it."
"Okay, I'll go take a shower first."
Lu Yuqi looked at the two big
The marks on my legs were okay, but I thought about the potions in my game backpack and realized I was making a fuss. I took the ointment prepared by Xiao Chen and applied it. It was cool and comfortable.
He put on his bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom.
"Brother Lu, would you like to watch it with me?" Xiao Chen raised his phone.
"The second game of the Battle Royale group stage, last year's champion team and this year's dark horse."
"This year's dark horse?" Lu Yuqi sat on the sofa with the food. "Cast the screen and see."
"The dark horse seems to be a B-level team that has just been promoted to A-level
It’s quite amazing. The previous breakout match was very exciting, and we defeated our opponents 3:0. ”
It turns out that competitive games are indeed a good electronic pickle. Lu Yuqi had no idea what he was eating the whole time. The focus is on last year’s champion team—YTY. The fight was very exciting, they fought when they needed to and played defensively when they needed to.
"It looks like YTY may still be the champion this year."
“I don’t know.”
The next day, Lu Yuqi arrived at the venue early. I don’t know if it was because the plaster Xiao Chen bought was too effective, or because his body recovered too quickly, but the two marks that were red and slightly swollen last night are now just two red marks.
"Is it possible today?" Fang Zheng looked at Lu Yuqi and asked.
"no problem."
"Well, let's try to pass it in one try."
In fact, this scene is very simple. It is just a competition between the swordsman and the musician to test each other. However, it is quite difficult to make it exciting.
"You two should talk to the martial arts instructor first to see if we should continue with the same moves as before."
"Okay."
He followed the martial arts instructor's instructions throughout the entire process and finally presented a wonderful performance on the director's monitor.
Lu Yuqi gradually adapted to the rhythm of the crew. She filmed with the other four protagonists every day and got along very well with them. During her breaks, she would also use her computer to live broadcast for a while.
It won’t take long, just keep the heat.
"That old man in the fishing hat is here again." Ke Qing nodded in the direction of the old man, and Lu Yuqi looked over. This old man has been here for several days in a row. He would stay longer when they were filming the fight scenes, but would just take a look and leave for other scenes. He always wears an old man's shirt, shorts, cloth shoes, a fishing hat and a pair of sunglasses on his face.
"This old man loves to watch fighting scenes."
"Could it be that the screenwriter or casting director is looking for the right person here?"
"Can you find it this way?" This was the first time Lu Yuqi heard this.
"Of course, if some crews can't find actors temporarily, or if actors can't continue to perform for some reason, they will look for actors with similar body shapes in the film and television city."
"The front face is cut out?" Ke Qing gave an infallible look.
"Does this agree?"
"That's definitely not a big shot. Look here, there are so many crews of all sizes coming and going, and there are many unknown actors. As long as the money is in place, why would they disagree?"
"This old man looks quite similar. Look how many times he has come here."
"Who do you think you've fallen for?"
