Chapter 30: How to act arrogant? Director: You just need to restrain yourself!
The other side!
Lin Shu has appeared in Hengdian Film and Television City.
For tomorrow's audition, he has found two crews from the group.
They are the costume crew in the afternoon and the fairy tale crew in the evening.
When Lin Shu sent his information and requirements to the two production crews' managers, the managers were a little surprised.
It's quite rare for someone to become an actor and then work as an extra, but it's not uncommon.
Not all actors can always find the right crew.
When there are no scenes in the middle, many actors will also take on some extra scenes.
As for Lin Shu's request, the venue manager agreed to it as much as possible.
Although I was given a few lines, if it becomes a small hit, I might be able to use this to promote it.
Even if the probability is very low, many crews are willing to give it a try. After all, it costs almost nothing to them.
This means that only by becoming an actor can you ask for some conditions. If this were done before, you would have to ask the group leader for help.
Otherwise, who cares about this kind of small group performance!
Still making demands?
It would be nice to have a supporting role!
After lunch, Lin Shu went back to rest for a while before coming to the filming crew.
Familiar palaces and gardens of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Lin Shu followed the news from the venue management and found the location of the crew.
Judging from the existing staff, the investment in this crew should not be very large. The actors included were all names he had never heard of.
But it is undeniable that the male and female protagonists are quite in line with the requirements of a costume idol drama.
Too.
It's already an idol drama, so why play an idol if you don't look good?
"Teacher Lin, right? Hello, I am the production manager of the crew."
The moment Lin Shu appeared on the set, the set manager came up to him with a smile.
Although Zhou Quan is a set manager, their crew is too small, and even the male and female leads are students from the Film and Television Academy.
He was quite happy that an actor like Lin Shu was willing to come.
"Hello, I'm Lin Shu, what's my role later?"
After saying hello, Lin Shu went straight to the topic without any verbosity.
Zhou Quan paused and explained with a smile:
"According to your request, your character will be a villain later.
There are only a few lines, but you need to be arrogant. The director means to be as arrogant as you want!
Here are your lines and plot, you can take a quick look at it!"
Lin Shu nodded, took the lines from Zhou Quan, and read them carefully.
Seeing Lin Shu frowning as he read the lines, the conductor didn't bother him and just left silently.
"Hey, who is this! Isn't this our hanging lantern user?"
"Why are you kneeling on the ground like a dog now!"
"Scream!"
"Don't you usually bark happily? Now I keep barking!"
"I'm asking you, are you deaf?"
"Oh... I thought it was so great, but it turns out it's a waste!"
As Zhou Quan said, the lines are indeed very short, but the plot is a test of the actor's acting skills.
The character played by Lin Shu is the subordinate of the villain.
After the villain catches the male protagonist, it is his character who takes violent measures against the male protagonist.
He is the kind of villain who goes wild when he gets his way.
Therefore, this character has not survived even one episode in more than thirty episodes of the TV series.
After torturing the male protagonist for less than a few minutes, he was shot to death with an arrow.
What do you say about this character?
It's really stupid, but it's essential.
Movies and TV dramas need this kind of character to dampen the protagonist's energy and make the audience feel frustrated.
But fortunately, I have experienced arrogant emotions before, and with the accumulation of past lives, there is no problem in playing such a villain.
With the help of understanding the lines, Lin Shu quickly understood the role.
Not long!
Lin Shu put on a black armor and stood in front of the camera.
At the edge of the wooden platform, the male protagonist, dressed in white, was being pinned to the ground secretly by several soldiers.
Behind Lin Shu, there stood a man with a withered face and white hair. He had heavy makeup on his face and looked a bit feminine.
After glancing at the male protagonist, he nodded slightly to Lin Shu.
Lin Shu, who was standing aside, immediately gave instructions and slowly walked to the male protagonist.
However, he did not start speaking his lines directly, but glanced at the scorching sun above his head.
Looking at the cloudless sky, a warm smile appeared on his face.
It's just this smile that feels a bit unworthy of a beating no matter how you look at it.
"Hey, who is this!"
Lin Shu in the camera lowered his head, as if curious, and looked at the male protagonist's face for a while before sitting down on the steps next to him.
He reached out his right hand and gently patted the male protagonist on the face:
"Isn't this our lantern user?"
"Why are you kneeling on the ground like a dog now!"
"Scream!"
"Don't you usually bark happily? Now I keep barking!"
The male protagonist, who was pinned to the ground, struggled to raise his head and stared at Lin Shu.
But just as he raised his head, Lin Shu pressed him down with his hand.
"I'm asking you, are you deaf?"
When he said this, Lin Shu was so fierce that his whole face was close to the male protagonist.
He pressed the male protagonist's head hard and "knocked" it on the ground several times before he stood up with a look of disdain on his face.
After slapping his hands, he continued nonchalantly: "Oh... I thought it was so great, but it turns out he is a waste!"
After finishing his lines, Lin Shu didn't seem very satisfied and spat at the male protagonist again.
Although the spit didn't hit the male protagonist's face, the rest of the crew who saw this scene were extremely angry.
So irritating!
That tone and demeanor made many people clench their fists and wish they could just go up and slap him.
The director sitting in front of the monitor was even more stunned.
It's true that it makes you a little arrogant, but it's not like this!
Those who know it are just acting, but those who don’t know think you have a life-or-death feud with someone!
After exhaling deeply, he shook his head helplessly and walked to the middle of the set.
Seeing the director appear, Lin Shu stopped with some confusion.
Why did the director come out?
He hasn't finished acting yet!
Isn’t there a scene of laughing on the platform?
Ignoring Lin Shu's doubts, the director walked up to him and sighed:
"Um...Lin Shu, right? You just acted very well, but can you restrain yourself a little bit?"
"That's right!" The male protagonist who was pressed to the ground suddenly stood up, "I said you went too far just now. I didn't even have a line to say, so you just held me down!"
"Uh... Then how should I act as a director?" Lin Shu glanced at the two of them, a little at a loss.
"Be a little restrained and don't act like a villain!" the director said through gritted teeth.
"Okay! I'll try my best!" Lin Shu said bravely.
Chapter completed!
