Chapter 71(1/2)
Reading Around
Cai Cai watched as the action director asked the two of them to practice the last scene of saving lives.
"Ree, you have to lean forward when you fall, but you can't fall out of the camera. Look here." The action director pointed the ray pen at the camera. "You have to keep your face facing the camera, even if the camera will chase you."
Shoot, but you also have to pay attention. Come on, walk through it."
The nickname Lily gave her was accepted by everyone in the room in less than a day. Cai Cai gave up after struggling for a while. It was a foreign name anyway, so it didn't matter what she called it.
Nodding to express understanding, Cai Cai made a gesture there and then started to perform the movements. The first time he did it, his eyes were a little bit closed, the second time the earrings swayed too much, and the third time he finally passed the test.
"Ethan, you have to look up when the camera is coming over, listen to the beat outside the scene, and you have to count yourself and keep your movements consistent." The action director is very particular about details.
But Ethan failed to pass the performance five times. The action director didn't say anything and asked him to find the rhythm first and go to other places for guidance.
"." It's a bit embarrassing.
Cai Cai was left here. Others were taking pictures, but they were stuck here because of Ethan. She wanted to say something, but she felt that everything she said was nonsense.
"Do you like playing games?" Ethan took the initiative to talk to Cai Cai.
Cai Cai immediately answered, "Yes, yes, very relaxed." Well, these three words were not picked up well.
Ethan looked down at Cai Cai, who was obviously embarrassed, and suddenly laughed, "I actually know that I'm not suitable to be an actor."
Cai Cai looked up at him, but she looked straight into his eyes. Ethan had a pair of beautiful blue eyes, very beautiful, "Then, are you going to give up?"
Ethan thought for a moment and nodded, "Probably. My father has always wanted me to inherit his business. My family runs a supermarket chain."
Only then did Cai Cai remember that Ethan's surname was Gierhart. Gierhart, Gierhart, owned a chain of supermarkets. He glared at Ethan, your family is not like an ordinary supermarket chain, your family is super rich.
During the Gilhet Group's 70th anniversary celebration, the Tang family went to attend and brought back a set of supermarket splicing building blocks, which were customized souvenirs only for guests. She and Chenchen struggled for a long time to put them together, and once they couldn't put them together.
They got angry and yelled at each other and even beat each other. This souvenir of spliced building blocks was the idea of the young master of the Gilhet Group.
Couldn’t it be you???
Cai Cai felt that her fist was hard.
"Does it have nothing to do with your family's supermarket opening and you giving up being an actor?" Cai Cai clenched her fists and scolded him, "Admitting that you are not suitable to be an actor, and then giving up decisively, this is the only reason. You have to say that I want to inherit the family's business
Career, it seems as if you are a big loss to others if you don’t become an actor." You might as well continue to design splicing building blocks and you will definitely get a lot of negative fans!
"." There was a big question mark on Ethan's face. The little angel was not only cruel, but also mean. He felt baffled at the same time, but he laughed out loud.
This was the first time someone heard him say such words and responded like this.
At this time, Cai Cai thought, good guy, the giant elephant is really tough, and the son of the sponsor's father dares to throw it away to be an extra. All the daily necessities of their crew are sponsored by Gilhet. There are also other items on her toothbrush cup.
What about his golden trademark?
Only the next day did Cai Cai find out that the extras with names are called guest stars and special guest performers, while the extras without names are the supporting cast and so-and-so.
As expected of you, the sponsor dad.
Yesterday, Ethan failed to meet the requirements of the action director. After everyone else finished shooting, the set manager came over to inform them of the work. Cai Cai dropped Ethan and ran away. As soon as he returned to his residence, he called Dai Sichen to complain.
, she actually met the designer of supermarket splicing building blocks!
"." Dai Sichen squinted his eyes, "Little ancestor, do you know what time it is here?"
"." Oh, that's right, Cai Cai forgot about the jet lag, "Then you won't refuse to answer!"
"." You are the master of strong words and reasoning.
"I saw the news, I wish you good luck in filming." Dai Sichen was very worried about Cai Cai, but he still didn't say anything and just wished her well.
Cai Cai said with a bitter face, "Thank you." Who knows what tomorrow will be like. I wonder if there will be a script.
The script is ready. It is the last drama of this season, and it is also the drama with the most characters and scenes.
Cai Cai understood that this was while she was still young, to film the ones with many roles, key scenes, group scenes, etc. Because in case she grows up too fast, the fewer roles, the better to repair. So her filming
The process is in order from most roles to least.
Jarvis made it clear that he wanted to film her scene first, and she would definitely be the first one to finish it.
Cai Cai quickly read through the script before entering the large conference room, meeting and greeting other actors, and then gathered around to read the script. As a result, she saw her childhood idol
"Hello." Cai Cai was shaking as he spoke.
Holly Kent laughed and took the initiative to hug Cai Cai. It looked like she was her loyal fan, "Hello, Ree"
My nickname is so nice!!!
Cai Cai's little face flushed with excitement, "You smell so good." She couldn't help but put her head in and sniffed again. She looked like a little bear, and her naive look made all the adult actors laugh.
His face felt even more burning. Cai Caitong was led to his seat and sat down hand and foot. Lily simply didn't look at it and leaned closer, "You didn't go back to see the announced list of actors yesterday?"
I forgot. Cai Cai also regretted it. If I had known earlier, I would have taken a look, otherwise I could have performed well in front of my idol just now.
"Oli plays the Queen and will be killed today."
"Shut up!! Don't talk about your mother like that!!" Cai Cai scolded her.
"."You fell into the drama so quickly.
Although it is just a script for this scene, because the scene is very large and it will take at least two days to shoot, it is thicker than the rough first episode script that Cai Cai got last time.
One page felt much safer. Cai Cai was very happy.
This is the result of comparison. When she got the script for the first episode, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to adapt to Jarvis's meticulous script style. But after yesterday's experience of acting without knowing anything and it was ugly,
, now that Cai Cai sees this kind of comprehensive script that has everything, he just wants to donate it!!
The first script reading meeting begins.
Cai Cai met all the staff of the show. The production team, director team, screenwriting team, various consultant teams, photography team, stunt team, post-production team, art team, drama team, etc., as well as other main groups
There were so many staff that only the director and screenwriters had room to sit, and they sat in the outer circle. The two inner circles were all the leading actors of the scene.
Everyone else came in to say hello in turn, and everyone greeted each other. Cai Cai later became face-blind and couldn't remember faces, let alone names. There were only a few foreign names that came back and forth, and several people shared the same name, and then they started talking to each other.
When introducing people, they always use their nickname or job number.
This is actually considered a start-up ceremony.
After seeing each other's faces and greeting each other, Jarvis motioned to the directing team to tell them directly about the shooting plan for this book.
A simple summary is that everything is shot in a studio, and under the supervision of the labor union, it is completed within two days as much as possible. The on-site recording does not delay the actors' time after the filming, which means that there is no need for post-dubbing. The advisory team will make corrections.
Etiquette and accent issues
When he said this, Jarvis also raised his head and glanced at Cai Cai.
"." Cai Cai buried her head. Isn't it great to have money to do live sound recording? I can do dubbing later. I'm not afraid of labor unions!
The crew is scared, not to mention you are still a minor.
Lily comforted her in a low voice, "You have a good M country accent, but you speak your lines too fast. You just need to control it a little."
Cai Cai held back her mouth, "My family says that people who talk fast are smart!"
"." Even Sara turned her head and glanced at her speechlessly. Is she out of her mind?
Lily sighed and shook her head. Ree was really beaten to death by her family. She didn't allow her to use her mobile phone, so she actually believed it.
After talking about some precautions, I officially started reading the script.
At the front of the script is the script for the entire scene, and at the back is the script for individual roles. Each actor gets the script for his own role.
Cai Cai already knew that the maid Fiora she played was actually the king's illegitimate daughter.
This scene is about the king's brother who failed to usurp the throne. After killing his nephew, he contacted another country, let their army in, and took the lead in massacre of the city. In the royal court, Princess Lola played by Sarah and Jack from another country were being held.
The prince's wedding. These two lines are carried out at the same time, and are also interspersed with various group scenes such as the kingdom trying to poison the queen, the groom cheating, Princess Helen played by Lily being pushed off the cliff, etc.
In the end, Laura was kidnapped. Jack wanted to take Fiora away but was captured. Fiora witnessed the king being killed by the poisoned queen, and then was rescued by the queen and received the royal token. She escaped from the enemy who massacred the city and escaped.
Wang Ting went to look for Laura and rescued the seriously injured Helen, and the two left together.
This was shot in two days?
Cai Cai has a big head. The script is not out of order at all. It is shot completely in the order of the story. In other words, without editing, so many plots are really just one scene. Good guy, the first scene is so difficult.
, it is indeed what a giant elephant would do. By the way, don’t foreign crews follow metaphysics? In China, they usually choose scenes that are relatively simple and easy to pass smoothly as the first scene. Why do you do the opposite? It’s so unfriendly.
After a lot of slander, Cai Cai read her lines carefully. She knew that she had been spoiled by the relaxed working environment she encountered in China. It would be really embarrassing for an actor to get a script and complain that it was not good and too difficult to act.
.
The first scene is Laura getting ready for the wedding, putting on the wedding dress, Fiora helping her, and hearing her complain that the dress doesn’t look good, but Fiora is very envious and thinks the wedding dress is beautiful, and Laura looks better in it. Laura asks Fiora to
She tried to put it on, but Jack happened to see it when he broke in.
Combining yesterday's test shooting and today's character script, Cai Cai can tell that Fiora was a pretentious but timid little girl with low self-esteem in the early stage. As a maid, the princess regarded her as her younger sister. She ate, slept, and wore clothes with the princess.
Fudu is different from other maids. Her goal in life is to marry a noble as a wife when she grows up, and return to the royal court as a guest. She is grateful to Princess Lola, and she may even have extraordinary feelings for Lola, so she can ignore it when massacring the city.
He ran out of the royal court to chase Laura, and stabbed Jack for having an affair on their wedding day.
Cai Cai quickly recorded his understanding of the role of Fiora,
"Ree, let's start with you." Jarvis called Cai Cai.
