There are three main shooting locations for Overlord.
The villa mainly shoots daily life, the rivalry between the male and female protagonists, and the interaction between the male protagonist and the dog.
The other two locations were built in the studio.
One of the most important scenes is the vegetable market, which is a 100% realistic simulation. The cost of props and scenery alone was nearly three million.
This is also the first time that Lu Hao has used extras on a large scale in his films.
The so-called extras are just extras.
If you have to add a modifier in front of it, it would be a dead supporting role.
Having spent ten years as a supporting actor in his previous life, Lu Hao was very familiar with this group.
It can even be said that his qualifications are older than all the extras present.
Every extra who comes to the film and television base has the great ideal of becoming a leading actor.
Yet few succeed.
The probability of turning red may be lower than the probability of being struck by lightning.
Take Lu Hao in his previous life for example.
What is the reason?
Lu Hao had thought about it carefully.
It's the difference between taking the long view and making a quick buck.
Every extra gets out of bed at five in the morning, waiting for the announcement in the WeChat group leader. It's good to have work, but they are often tortured all day and don't even have the energy to masturbate when they go home at night.
If there is no work, it will be even worse. I will be absent-minded all day and cannot sleep at night.
Don't worry about the quality of the play, just take the job.
There's no time to figure out the character.
No time to improve myself...
Thus, it becomes a vicious cycle where one can only play minor roles for a few years and then leave in disgrace.
It’s the same principle as going to work.
After devoting their youth and strength, they were finally kicked away to make way for the young people.
Reading? Watching movies? Practicing acting?
Does not exist.
When people may not be able to pay rent or have enough food to eat at any time, they cannot care about their ideals and cannot see the distance.
This was the case with Lu Hao in his previous life.
Why did it take ten years?
It’s because I took a lot of detours.
After playing supporting roles for two or three years, he suddenly realized that this was not right, so he started all over again.
It took another three years, during which I read a large number of books, wrote countless biographies, and watched all the movies I could find.
It was honed through practice.
He can act whatever role he plays.
But it still didn’t become popular.
Because times have changed.
Capital is pouring in on a massive scale, and talent is pouring in like a swarm. Even the fresh graduates from professional schools can’t keep up, let alone an old guy like me.
Many extras’ idol is Wang Baoqiang, but since him, who else has become famous as an extra?
So Lu Hao had no choice but to save the country in a roundabout way again.
He infiltrated the crew, started as a stagehand, and studied all the knowledge he could learn. He followed a famous director and worked diligently for him.
that's all……
First three years, then another three years, and after three years there are still three years...
Until he traveled through time, he still hadn't gotten the chance to become famous.
…
The salaries of extras in the "Overlord" crew are the highest in the entire film and television base.
Three hundred yuan per scene, twice as much as other crews.
Lu Hao also personally did the personnel selection work.
He can see similar shadows in many people.
For example, that fat pork seller.
In the play, he plays a pork seller with a face full of fat, bare chest, and looks ferocious.
There aren't many scenes, just two.
The total duration should not exceed thirty seconds.
However, Lu Hao noticed that when the leading actor was doing some NG, he was still making various gestures with the knife, as if he was thinking about how to cut the pork more handsomely.
Actually, his acting is not bad.
At least he played the role of a pork seller well.
Her appearance was also very distinctive, reminding Lu Hao of a pork seller who was dancing wildly in a leather skirt on the street.
So when eating lunch at noon, Lu Hao stood next to him.
"May I have your name?"
The butcher who was concentrating on eating in the corner didn't even notice Lu Hao appeared next to him.
When he heard the voice, he looked up and his pupils suddenly widened.
He stood up in a panic, swallowed the mouthful of rice with difficulty, gasping for breath, and a flattering smile instantly appeared on his face.
"Director Lu, you're asking me?"
He was smiling, but there was a flicker of panic in the depths of his eyes.
The lunch boxes were provided free of charge by the crew. This was the third box he had eaten. He had carefully thrown the first two boxes into the trash can, but he didn't expect that the director would see it.
"Yes, what's your name?"
Lu Hao smiled kindly and handed him a cigarette.
He was somewhat flattered when he took it, thinking that with such a nice attitude, she shouldn't be blaming me for eating the boxed lunch. Could it be that... she was attracted by my physique?
"Director Lu, my name is Wu Rongfa."
The voice trembled slightly.
"Sit down, nothing to do, I just want to chat with you while we eat."
Lu Hao lit a cigarette for him himself.
Wu Rongfa was stunned.
The two started chatting.
…
…
"I...I...it's just...my girlfriend, oh no, my ex-girlfriend, wanted to be a star, so she came here. I couldn't let her go, so I followed her. But after just a few months, she ran off with a small-time actor and didn't want me anymore. Before she left, she even took two thousand yuan from me."
When asked about his story, his voice gradually became lower in the smoke.
It's a very clichéd plot, but that's how life is.
"Then why are you still acting?"
Lu Hao asked.
"I... I'm not trying to win your respect. We're from the same village. I was thinking that when I become famous, I'll be on TV and let her and her mother see it."
