I’m Really a Superstar

The place is already busy.

The director and crew direct.

"Get in position, get in position"

"Camera No. 1, pull back."

"The actors put on their makeup and it starts right away."

"Attention extras, please stand behind the yellow line. There will be an explosion scene soon. Although it will not be dangerous, please be careful not to go beyond the yellow line."

"Is Teacher Zhang okay?"

"Not yet, soon, soon."

"Okay, Teacher Zhang puts on makeup and turns on the phone."

shed.

A female makeup artist is working hard on Zhang Ye, painting on his face. Zhang Ye in the mirror has aged more than ten years, but maybe Zhang Ye's appearance is too ordinary and his plasticity is relatively strong, so he is pretending to be older. There are so many, and there is nothing particularly out of the ordinary. Fans who know him should be able to spot him at a glance.

Draw eyebrows.

Transform eyes.

I'm really not used to it. When he was a host, he wouldn't put on such heavy makeup. At most, he would put on some powder to make his face less "dark".

At this moment, Zhang Ye had already changed into his costume, which was similar to a Mao suit. His hands were not idle, he was reading the script over and over again. This time, the script he read was not the character script just now, but the entire script. The script is the context of the play from beginning to end, including all characters, age, origin, background, plot development, etc. If you want to play this role well, you must go through the complete script. This is also to help Zhang Ye understand the characters better. And the plot, let him know when to make what expression.

This was the first time that Zhang Ye came into contact with a complete script of a movie. To be honest, he was a little confused when reading it because there were too many things in it and the plot was also very rich. There were several plots in many places, and there were even As for the alternative plots and alternative lines, since the movie had actually been shot the day before yesterday, Zhang Ye could see that many plots in the script had been deleted, not filmed or cut during post-editing, so there was such a mess of revisions. When he took a look at the revised script, his mind was really confused. He really couldn't tell what the play was going to be like. It seemed good, but it seemed bad. Everything was unknown.

In the past, when he was on another earth, Zhang Ye also loved movies. Every time he watched a movie, he would chat with his classmates and friends for a long time, telling Jiangshan what was wrong with the filming here, the filming there was not good, or the script was wrong. Question, or how could anyone film such a bad movie? Now think about it, when he was an audience member, he really stood and talked without any back pain. After he really put himself in this circle, Zhang Ye realized that movies are not that simple at all. This script alone taught him a lesson, and it was very instructive. The old saying that laymen watch the excitement and insiders know the ropes is so apt. It is always harder to talk than to do it.

The female makeup artist stepped back and pinched her chin to look in the mirror. She suddenly snapped her fingers and said, "Okay, Teacher Zhang." She turned around and said loudly to the outside: "Director, Teacher Zhang's makeup is done."

Zhang Ye put down the script, got up and went out.

"Okay, everyone is on your way." Wang Chengpeng shouted.

The assistant director said: "Teacher Zhang, where is your position?"

Wang Chengpeng asked, "Remember, your expression should change a little. When Lao Zhang and Dalong come over, your eyes should be sharper, not too thin."

"Okay." Zhang Ye took his place and sat on an imperial chair. Among several extras, he picked up a cup of tea and sat upright.

Wang Chengpeng had his own way of directing. He first talked about the scene with a loudspeaker. Although the actors were already familiar with it, he still said it word by word in detail. Firstly, it might be to help the actors relax. Secondly, The purpose is to get the actors into the role quickly.

"open"

Suddenly, gongs and drums sounded.

Many of the extras worked very hard, and this is a scene from a gymnasium celebration.

Zhang Yuanqi, who was wearing a long white dress, and Da Long, who was wearing a training uniform, walked over slowly. The two were already in the act. Zhang Yuanqi had a cold expression on his face, but Da Long was laughing and chatting glibly next to Zhang Yuanqi. After a while, , Zhang Yuanqi showed a smile and glanced at Dalong.

Several people met.

Zhang Ye raised his eyes while holding the tureen.

Da Long and the other two also arrived in front of him.

Suddenly, Zhang Ye narrowed his eyes and knocked the tea lid lightly on his hand.

"Stop" the director called.

Zhang Ye looked over.

Just listen to Wang Chengpeng say: "Xiao Zhang, it's not enough. The eyes need to be more powerful and aggressive. The meaning of your eyes is right, but that is the taste of life. In the play, it is not enough. It needs to be more obvious. Only the audience can capture the sharpness, right?"

Zhang Ye understood, "No problem."

Dalong and the other two didn't say anything and returned to their positions.

Wang Chengpeng shouted: "Come again, drive"

The second time, this shot passed.

Then came the next scene, which was the explosion scene. Zhang Ye didn't need to do anything in this scene. He only had one line, which was very simple. Most of the scenes were between Dalong and Zhang Yuanqi. Originally, the two scenes before People have already filmed this scene, but because several of the scenes require the male lead, played by Zhang Ye, to appear on camera with them, the explosion scene also had to be reshot. Of course, the reshoots were only It's just a few key shots. The rest of the scenes without Zhang Ye's lens can all use the original film.

Because it was more dangerous, the prop preparation for this scene was also more troublesome, so the filming was very slow. Dalong made mistakes twice and the two extras had three CT scans because their expressions were not in place. Zhang Ye had to CT because the line was not interesting enough. Once, this set of shots took a full hour to shoot.

When the director shouted "stop" and said "pass", the actors all breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed to take a rest. Someone from the crew began to pay the extras.

Dalong came up and said, "Director Wang, do you still have my play?"

Wang Chengpeng thought for a while and said, "It's gone today. You and Lao Zhang can go back."

"Okay." Dalong said.

Zhang Yuanqi smiled and said, "I don't need to be here anymore?"

"It's okay, your stuntman is here. The focus is on tomorrow's scene." Wang Chengpeng said: "There should be more tomorrow morning, but I have to check the progress of the afternoon to see if the filming is complete. Zhang Ye didn't do anything. After filming, I still don’t know, the problem is in the afternoon.”

Zhang Yuanqi said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang should be fine."

Dalong said: "Then I'm going back. If you need anything, call me. I won't turn off the phone." This is the most difficult time for the crew, and everyone must work hard together.

As soon as the two leading actors left, Wang Chengpeng also found Zhang Ye. Now he was acquainted with him. He didn't call him Teacher Zhang but Xiao Zhang instead, "Xiao Zhang, how do you feel?"

Zhang Ye hummed, "Very good."

"It's my first time to play a major role in a movie. It's already very good to be able to perform like this. At least it exceeds my expectations for new actors." Wang Chengpeng praised, and then said: "There will be several scenes this afternoon and evening. Lenses, there are daytime and nighttime lenses. You can go with the team. You may not be able to go home these days. If you need anything like a change of clothes or something, I can have someone prepare it for you. You can ask your family to send it to you. It’s okay to come.”

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "No, I'm not that particular. I'll just give my mother a call."

The assistant director said from the side: "It may be very hard to go into the mountains at night."

"It's okay." Zhang Ye said.

The assistant director asked, "What are your taboos for lunch and dinner? I'll have someone prepare them."

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "I will eat anything, just a box lunch."

The assistant director hesitated: "I may not know what time I have to shoot at night, you..."

"It doesn't matter what time it is." Zhang Ye shrugged and said, "I can even spin without a problem. I can barely hold on without sleeping for twenty-four hours. It's okay. If you have any arrangements or work schedule, just tell me. As long as It’s to make this movie a success, I didn’t hesitate, I handed over my hundred pounds to the crew in a few days.”

The reason why the director asks so many questions is because there are too many celebrities playing big names nowadays. Now is the market economy, it is a commercial movie. The first element of a movie that attracts the audience is actually the actors. Big-name actors are worth a lot. He is easy to please and has a good temper. For example, Dalong has a lot of food requirements. He only eats mutton, chicken and pork. He is also very picky about the dishes. These are all made for him alone. There is also Tian Xuetao , he has to go home to sleep every day, and cannot follow the crew. No matter how late it is, as long as he is still within the capital, he has to go home. If he is out of town, he has to return to the hotel he booked after filming, and also It is not surprising that there are all kinds of strange requests from various stars, they have seen too many.

This time they asked someone to come to the rescue. The matter was urgent and imminent, so they naturally attached great importance to Zhang Ye's joining. They had to take care of him as much as possible, and he would be satisfied with whatever he could. That's why he asked so many questions. It was Zhang Ye too. I don’t know much about him and I don’t know what special requirements he has.

But what about Zhang Ye?

No requirements

Anything is okay, anything is okay

This made Wang Chengpeng couldn't help but nod slightly. After Zhang Ye left, he couldn't help but said to the assistant director: "It's more enjoyable to work with an intellectual and artistic person like Zhang Ye."

The assistant director also felt something, "Yes, Mr. Zhang is almost a second-tier star. It's really rare for stars of this level to be like him. I heard a friend in the industry say that Zhang Ye is really generous for his work." When he was out, he once recorded a program for ten hours a day for seven or eight days, and he also stayed up 24 hours a day to help the Beijing TV station make public service announcements. This is really life-threatening. The people's teachers are still very aware. Ours If all the actors were like Teacher Zhang, the progress of the film would be accelerated by at least 30%."

The screenwriter blinked at the back and said: "Zhang Ye seems to be different from the rumored..."

The assistant director turned around and said, "Yeah, it's so different."

The legendary Zhang Ye has too many nicknames

Literary worm

Weird people in the entertainment industry

The stinker in education

Many crew members who had heard about Zhang Ye felt that this person should have a very bad temper and would be able to curse others without being dealt with. However, the reality was completely different from what they had heard. Zhang Ye was not as good as them. The arrogant person in his imagination turned out to be diligent, hard-working and uncomplaining. Look, the lunch box has arrived over there, everyone else is already resting, but Zhang Ye in the distance is still studying the next scene alone with a script.

They don't know that Zhang Ye has always been such a person. He decides on the work he wants to do and the work he needs to complete. He will conscientiously do his best every time and does not allow himself to make any mistakes or slack off. This Working together is never life-threatening.
