Be a Movie Star in a Two-dimensional World

"Oh, I'm an actor who joined the cast today, my name is Su..."

Su Bad didn't finish his words, but heard the sound of high-heeled shoes stomping sharply behind the three of them, interrupting the conversation from far to near. It was a lady with a luggage bag, with slightly wider cheekbones and slightly thicker eyeshadow. The curly blond hair was elegantly tied into a bun at the back of her head, and she was a makeup artist.

"Sorry sorry, I'm late."

"No, it's just that we arrived a little earlier than the appointed time, Ms. Barnett." Hoshi looked at his watch and smiled.

"Oh, you are so sweet, dear." She said dotingly, and even hugged Haoshi; "It would be great if the director could have a good temper like yours, but unfortunately, if he finds out when he comes You haven't put on your makeup yet, and he's going to be yelling like he did yesterday. So guys and girls, better let's hurry up."

"When I came, I made the bottom first." Zecheng said.

"Then I just need to spread another layer for you, move fast, the dressing room is over there." Ms. Barnett picked up her backpack and swaggered ahead.

Haoshi and Zecheng, who were standing behind her, hesitated for a while, because of the conversation just now, Su Bad's self-introduction was only halfway through.

"Come on," urged Ms. Barnett ahead.

"Okay." Haoshi looked back at Su Bad, he saw Su Bad's outstretched hand, he just smiled and didn't shake it back: "Then let's cheer for each other."

"Okay." Su Duan nodded hastily, put his hand back embarrassedly, then wiped his trousers pocket, and watched Zecheng, Haoshi, and his manager who waved at him, disappeared in the corridor together. re-export.

Haoshi didn't finish hearing his name, didn't shake his hand, and didn't understand his role.

This is not surprising, nor is it arrogant.Because no matter who Su Bad plays, there will only be one protagonist in this play from beginning to end, and that is Takashi Natsume, played by Hiroshi.And who is Su bad?A nobody who serves the protagonist.

Maybe the greeting at the beginning was just to make the relationship between the people in the crew more harmonious. Maybe it was Zecheng's unauthorized action, or it was mixed with performances that made his personal image extra points. Su Hao had no way of knowing the reason, but He didn't hate such people either.

When he used to play tricks on various studios, he had seen a lot of guys who were nothing but played big names in the sky and the earth, and made things difficult for those little actors. In contrast, Haoshi and Zecheng can be said to be quite friendly.

Just to say that there is some loss.

If only the other party could remember his name, he thought.

Chapter 16 Modeling

Filming starts at 9:[-].

But the busyness started earlier.

The staff checked the equipment, put on the actors, and recited the lines. After the director and the assistant director arrived, and after discussing with the film crew for a while, the set officially entered the countdown and was ready to start shooting.

"Shi Yu, is the person playing Shi Yu here?" the director asked the assistant, and the assistant looked for the field manager.

When he heard someone calling him, Su Baan rushed out from the corner of the crowd and shouted, "Director, I'm here."

"Huh?" The director was not surprised at all when he saw Su Bad, but his nose was crooked: "What the hell are you doing, why are you still like this, what are you doing with those people, and you are also a group performer? "

Before Su Bad even started acting, he was slapped with a slap in the face.

In fact, it's not entirely his fault, because there are no acquaintances on the set, so although Su Hao was the first to come, he has been left to the side. Just now someone shouted, "Come here without makeup!" , but only now realize that those are specially made for group performances.

He is now playing Shi Yu, who has a name and lines. Naturally, he no longer needs to mix with those people, but should enjoy the same treatment as Hoshi and Zecheng before - of course, it may not be so high, but you can use makeup That's for sure.

The director is very irritable, if Su Bad is not very sensitive to voice, remember his voice, or I really don't believe that the guy who scolded him with bloody head contacted him on the phone and said he was talented, and tried his best to invite him to play Shi Yu of the same person.

Fortunately, it is not the first time that Su Huai has been scolded. He knows that the director is the god of the set, and he must not retaliate when he is scolded. If he wants to hit you on the left cheek, you will meet the right cheek.

Just when the director finished his two sentences and was about to continue to increase the code, someone on the side pulled the director's clothes and whispered a few words. The director was stunned, and the expression he looked at Su Bad was suddenly tangled, and then he seemed to be holding back. He said in a sullen voice: "Forget it, let's find someone to do his makeup. Let's shoot the scene of the students' assembly in the old school building first."

After saying that, he walked away from Su Bad's side.

Su Bad didn't know how he escaped. He raised his head and saw that Miss Fujita, assistant director, was smiling at him. Did she help to persuade him?

Su Dao nodded gratefully at her, but the latter just said "Come on" with his mouth shape, and then let the makeup artist take Su Dao away.

Su Bad got what he wanted and went to the dressing room, but he didn't meet Zecheng and Haoshi who came over first.

He quickly realized that even in the same dressing room, the main actors and the young actors are treated differently.A small actor is a small single room shared by many people, like in a hair salon, each chair is matched with a table mirror.There are more people waiting for makeup than makeup artists. Many times, makeup artists have to run back and forth between several people, taking advantage of the time difference to apply makeup to them, and even asking actors to do it themselves.

The main actors' treatment is obviously much higher. The room is an independent private room. Basically, the makeup artist is also exclusive. In addition to makeup, they can also lie on the sofa and rest for a while. Some of them even have a TV. and computer.

The one that Su Bad was brought was naturally the most ordinary. There were no big actors here, but a "kappa" was seen covering his body there.

This should be the Kappa who was rescued by Natsume at the beginning of the third episode. Because he has several lines with Natsume, he is not a role model, and is also counted as a supporting role.

"Hello." Su Bad greeted him politely.

"kappa." The other party called out something that Su Hao didn't understand in response.

Then, without waiting for Su Bad to ask what "kappa" means, the makeup artist who walked to the corner just after entering the door brought a cardboard box and said involuntarily, "Put it on."

Ok?

Su bad couldn't refuse.

Su Bad once heard people say that makeup is a sorcerer, and a powerful makeup artist can make your own mother not recognize you.

He thinks this is a bit exaggerated. He also mixes with the crew, not only watching the actors' makeup, but sometimes he will also play in the battle himself, but it's just patting powder, trimming his face, doing hairstyles, etc., if his mother doesn't recognize it It was an exaggeration to come out.But when Su Bad came out of the dressing room, he felt that if his biological mother was still alive, he would never recognize himself as he appeared.

To be honest, Su Hao was still a little stunned, how could the shape of the rain be like this...

Let's take a look at Su bad's makeup.

He was wearing a plain brown-gray Han suit with a long sloping front and a pair of black cloth shoes. His outfit looked very simple.This is actually nothing, after all, Su Bad has a pair of long legs that can be held, but the problem is that after Su Bad finished wearing this plain clothes, the makeup artist buckled a thin coat on Su Bad's head. Broken Raza's and Umbrella.

It is not the fabric of our usual umbrella, but the yellow-spotted bamboo and wood paper, which has a sense of age at first glance. neck.Fortunately, there was a crack on the oblique side of the umbrella, which was half an eye exposed, and it didn't make Su bad eyes "blind".

Su Bad can only say that he never expected it, because the script given by the director did not list the item about modeling at all, but now that the modeling is finished, who can recognize this is Su Bad?

Anyway, he didn't show his face, so he could use the names of cats and dogs.

But you really can't say what's wrong with this, because the script clearly states in black and white that Shi Yu is a monster, and Su Bad is a monster now. Make it clear.

Su Bad was a little disillusioned.

The anticipation from before was also ruined by this episode. He knew it would not work, but he couldn't stop the sense of loss gushing out of his chest.I originally thought that this time I could finally turn the salted fish over and play a character with a head and face, but it turned out to be the same in the end.

What made Su Bad even more embarrassed was that he felt top-heavy wearing such a cumbersome thing. He never thought about acting like this when he was rehearsing the script. When he walked back from the dressing room, he almost stumbled and gnawed at the mud because he didn't see the road clearly.

Fortunately, the muscles he insisted on exercising helped him pull off the handbrake at the moment he fell, and the most tragic result was avoided. Just the laughter of passers-by and sisters was better than the director's hysterical roar at himself.

Ok.

I have to admit that even if the situation is different from what I thought, Su Bad still doesn't want to lose this role.

Again.

After all, this is his first role with lines and features. In addition, the 3000 yuan written into the contract is also of great significance to him, a poor boy.

Chapter 17 He's Really Sucks

When Su Bad came back, filming had already started.

In the studio of "Natsume Friends' Account", the previously bare walls and the steel mesh frame on the head have been changed, and the whole has become an old building with a sense of age.

The wooden floor, the walls full of yellow spots, the ceiling hanging high above the head, full of mottled stains, everything seemed unusually real, and the dim lighting made the whole room look like a horror movie.

This is the scene that the architect created according to the director's needs.

Although the drama "Natsume Friends Account" is not a horror and scary drama, but a film and television drama that plays a lot of warmth, but a film and television work needs to attract audiences in a 40-minute plot, and there is no shortage of foreshadowing and suspense at all, and now the director In this episode of filming, the protagonist Natsume was invited by his classmates to come to the abandoned school building behind the school to gather for a courage test meeting.

Su Hao saw that Hiroshi, who played the protagonist, and Sawajo, who played Sasada, gathered many actors.

However, as the leading actors, they are obviously treated differently from those "classmates" who act as group actors. Natsume and Sasada stand in the center of the camera lens, and there are two people who talk to them, although the actor Su Bad I don't know each other, but according to the script, these two people are undoubtedly Natsume's friends - Kitamoto and Nishimura, who failed in the previous application of Su Bad.

Beiben, who was chosen to replace Su Huai, looked taller and bigger than Su Huai, almost 1.9 meters tall. His lines and performance were quite satisfactory, which meant that he was not too bad, but there was nothing outstanding about it.

This scene is relatively simple, that is, Natsume, Sasada, who is the chairman of the committee, and Kitamoto and Nishimura, who are friends, met in the old school building. After everyone completed the lottery and grouping, the director shouted.

In this plot, there is actually a scene of Natsume and the cat teacher, but the cat teacher is a lucky cat that does not exist in reality, a fat pig like a lucky cat, especially in the story, it often drinks and plays tricks It's cheap, make some expressions that ordinary cats can't do at all. This includes the big monster spot after its transformation, and some large monsters that can't be played. In the later stage of production, special effects will be made separately and edited into the plot.

After filming this segment, the director stood up from his position.

At a glance, he saw Su Bad, who had put on makeup, and after whispering a few words to the architect next to him, director Omori Takahiro walked over to Su Bad: "Have you memorized the lines?"

His tone became more easy-going, and after being reminded by Assistant Fujita just now, he recalled that this guy was an actor recommended by Arturia.The so-called person who does not look at the face of the monk and sees the face of the Buddha, who is recommended by a famous actor, Omori can't make the relationship too stiff.

However, Su Bad obviously didn't understand why the director made a 180-degree turn, and he still replied tremblingly, "I remember it well."

"Okay." Omori patted Su Bad's back to encourage him, and then told him a joke: "Next, let's shoot the scene at the entrance of the stairs, Natsume and Nishimura fall down the stairs, and then you appear, you will have a courage close-up, to show that terrifying impact, understand?"

"Understood." Su Hao replied again.

Um?Do you understand again?

The director raised his head and looked at the broken umbrella that Su Da's head was wearing. He wasn't sure whether this guy really understood what he meant.

But since it was introduced by Arturia, maybe there will be a surprise?

The director, who had the idea that it was okay to try, walked back and greeted the assistant director, and then even the assistant director emptied the venue, leaving only Natsume and Nishimura who were assigned to the same group by lot.

They stood on the steps prepared by the crew.

It needs to be mentioned here that the background created by the architects using alpha particles is not real. Similar to VR and AR technology, the location they shoot is actually still in that studio, but through the depth of field. Change, so that the visual effects captured by the camera become larger and smaller.

Now, in the filming of the scene where Natsume and Nishimura fell from the stairs, thinking with their toes won't make Hiroshi, who is an actor, really fall off the stairs. In fact, they used the most commonly used "eye cover" on the stage. ——

First let them stand on the steps built by the props group, only the height of the stage when taking a chorus or group photo, then cover it with alpha particle technology, and use a high-level shot to let Natsume and Nishimura go back and fall below. Above the mat, there are several shots of the stairs rolling in the middle, which can be easily fooled.

"It's a good job, too." The director checked the shot just now from the cameraman and was very satisfied, then he turned his head and greeted Su Bad: "In the past, it's your turn, remember, you must have a shocking appearance. ."

Having said that, he sat back on the director's chair and said to the photographer next to him, "Shoot from the bottom up and add a close-up of the face."

Su Bad took a deep breath and walked to the center of the stage.

The scene of this scene is still in the old school building. When filming the scene of Yu Shiyu's official debut and Natsume's contact with the monster, the lighting engineer deliberately turned off the surrounding ambient lights, leaving only the main light source facing the camera and the faint shadows of the two characters. The auxiliary light is used to set off the strange and tense atmosphere of this scene.

"Who, who is there?"

Natsume, who fell down the stairs, rubbed his aching shoulders and looked forward. Standing beside him unconscious Nishimura was an unfamiliar figure.

This is a typical pan-up shot, bringing the audience into Natsume's line of sight, starting from his footsteps, extending upwards, and finally fixed in the dark and obscured upper body, from which ominous fear radiates, revealing A gleaming eye.

That eye stared at Natsume, and that unspeakable shock was passed on to everyone present even through the camera screen.

Director Omori subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand and rubbed it. Could it be that Arturia really recommended a folk expert to herself?This kid perfectly expresses his inner composition for this scene, whether it is the position of the stage or the angle facing the camera, it is wonderful.

He was lifted up in his heart, looking forward to Shiyu's next performance.

Because he knew that this was Shi Yu's lines.

"Hey, you... this face... I seem to have seen it somewhere? But... Forget it, not only did it make me unclean, but I also wanted to..."

"Crack." The director frowned and shouted, "What are you doing, a line is squeezed out into so many sections, it's like a constipation, is there a mistake, didn't you memorize the lines for so long?"
