Chapter 956 "Heart Shadow Link" (Part 1)
When Qin Jue arrived at the scene, the surroundings were still in chaos. According to common ideas, she and Tang Nuo, two online game characters, would be filmed in a green screen studio, waiting for the background to be replaced in the later stage. However, the policy of filming and broadcasting at the same time was here, and they were afraid that there would not be enough time, so the crew arranged a fairly decent medium-sized studio with excellent scenery, and the effect of the filming would not be bad.
Seeing the actors coming, a group of busy people habitually scattered. Some people who were concentrating on their work and did not see Qin Jue immediately retreated to the side after being reminded by the people next to them in a low and urgent voice, like local officials meeting the emperor.
Qin Jue frowned slightly, but still walked and nodded and bowed with a smile.
She received responses from the opposite side, either surprised, frightened or polite, and realized their thoughts from the micro-expressions of most people: Oh, this actor has this kind of personality, I understand, cooperate first.
"..." Qin Jue kept smiling and walked forward quickly.
It is easy to understand the current situation. The main actors in Group B are her and Tang Nuo. Although they are not as famous as those in Group A, they are still local emperors here. Actors are the most important and they have to serve them.
Qin Jue walked to the edge of the performance area and shook hands with the executive director Sun Guangshan.
"Hey, Mr. Qin, we are under a tight schedule and have a heavy task. We have to be a little tired today." Sun Guangshan smiled and spoke gently, looking very sincere on the surface.
"It should be." Qin Jue nodded.
Perhaps he had known Tang Nuo's "troublemaker" for a long time. According to the production schedule on the first day of the start of filming, Qin Jue started working first. There were two scenes in total, one was a multi-player scene that would be filmed soon, and the other was a rival scene with Tang Nuo.
The first multi-player scene was about Liao Jingchen being depressed in reality, so he went to the game to vent his emotions. He happened to be ambushed by other players and started a killing spree. The second scene was a continuation of the previous one. The content was that Jiang Rong, who was in contact with the holographic online game for the first time, had just walked out of the character's birth point and accidentally witnessed the killing scene of the player Jingchen. The two met for the first time.
These are all written in the script, and Qin Jue has memorized the lines and the character's mood. However, "Heart and Shadow Link" was filmed episode by episode, and there was no script reading session. Just as Sun Guangshan started to talk about the play, Qin Jue took the opportunity to talk about some of his previous questions.
"Ah, uh... yes, that's it." Sun Guangshan was a little stuck, and after a few vague words, he brought the topic back to today's play.
There was a lot of evasion in his words, and Qin Jue hid the suspicion in his eyes and listened to him continue.
After talking about the play, Sun Guangshan called all the extras and stand-ins over. Qin Jue then realized that before he arrived, there were already lighting stand-ins and martial arts stand-ins of similar stature who stepped on the position for him.
"Show it once!" Sun Guangshan shouted with a loud speaker.
Qin Jue:?
Qin Jue: "Wait..."
The double wearing a purple coat then hung up the wire and fought with the extras. He was seen twisting and turning, sometimes raising his hands and kicking his legs, sometimes shooting in the air, and the other extras fell out in various somersaults.
Sun Guangshan nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and smiled at Qin Jue: "Teacher Qin, look, that's it, it's not difficult."
He glanced at Qin Jue's expressionless face, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay not to hang up the wire. The purpose of this scene is to make your character particularly handsome. Close-ups are enough, no matter what..."
Qin Jue exhaled.
"That's it?"
Sun Guangshan choked: "That's it, we-"
"I'll go take a look at the gun." Qin Jue said and walked into the performance area.
She stepped steadily, and although she was fast, she did not destroy the mark on the ground. The stand-ins and extras saw the actor coming over by himself, and their expressions were somewhat unnaturally alert and nervous. As a result, Qin Jue bent down first to help the extras who had not yet climbed up, and several people were stunned.
"Thank you for your hard work, brother. Can you show me the gun?" Qin Jue turned to the stand-in and said.
"Ah? Oh." The stand-in handed the gun over.
Qin Jue held the gun, and his five slender fingers moved habitually, but the gun did not change at all.
"......?" She looked back and forth, her expression a little cracked, "Dead magazine, dead slide, trigger can't move, what do you think?"
This complaint made the stand-in "puff" laugh out loud.
Sun Guangshan also came over at this time, and Qin Jue took the opportunity to say to him: "Director Sun, can you tell me more about the weapons and equipment of the player Jingchen?"
In the original book, Jingchen carried three weapons with him: a Tang sword, a short dagger, and a long-barreled revolver. He likes killing, so he enjoys close combat. The pistol is a hidden killer move and is rarely used.
However, after the adaptation, the script was full of lines, and the martial arts scenes could only be arranged by the director on the set. The "demonstration" just now made Qin Jue feel confused and felt his fists hard.
Sun Guangshan still said vaguely: "This, there are both cold weapons and hot weapons..."
He was not sure whether Qin Jue was asking a question or making trouble, so he simply had an idea and called the props team leader over.
Qin Jue then learned that all the props were there, but the executive director was not clear and did not understand how much "heavy objects" the actor could accept, so he kept it simple. After all, today was only the first day of filming, so there was no need to be so tired.
In terms of objective facts, the demonstration just now was indeed able to scare people.
If the actor was not Qin Jue.
“…” Qin Jue sighed slightly. She could see that Sun Guangshan, the executive director, was the most common puppet in the industry. He was responsible for detailing the director’s ideas to every detail, and he had to manage a large number of people. He was doing the director’s work, but he couldn’t really act like a director. In the end, he became like this, pretending to be a grandson on both sides.
The crew’s daily expenses were very high. Not to mention Jiang Shuming or He Xu, even Fang Youwen would have to show some displeasure if he met an actor who was nagging about props before filming. However, Sun Guangshan would rather drag the entire crew to wait for the props leader to show the props to Qin Jue, and didn’t say much.
In addition, there were only two scenes shot today, so Qin Jue suspected that their B group was eating empty salaries.
Anyway, there were few scenes, and the task was not as heavy as said. It was the investor’s business to spend money, so just do it.
The actors made various requests, so they just agreed.
Qin Jue suppressed her speechlessness. Fortunately, Zhang Ming had already been very considerate and happily gave the stunt double, extras, and the director of photography a box of mineral water. She didn't want to waste everyone's time any more. She took the Tang Dao dagger from the props leader who came over and weighed it.
It was a little light, just an ordinary weight.
Then she put it down and went to get the original prop pistol.
The props leader thought that Qin Jue regretted pretending to be cool in public after testing the weight. Sun Guangshan hurriedly said: "Teacher Qin, this gun..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a short clattering sound, and Qin Jue unloaded the gun.
Props leader:?
Sun Guangshan:?
The stunt doubles and extras watching:?
The air seemed to stagnate for a few seconds, and the props leader was blank. At this moment, the gun no longer looked like a gun, but was replaced by a pile of scattered parts on the small table.
Sun Guangshan was even more stunned than him. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was "the quality of the props was too poor" or "Qin Jue accidentally damaged the props". He felt that either situation was very embarrassing. It was as if gears were turning rapidly in his mind, and he was thinking about how to smooth things over.
But before Sun Guangshan said anything, Qin Jue started to move.
She quickly picked up the parts with both hands, and in front of everyone, she quickly and accurately restored the revolver to its previous appearance. During the process, there was no sweat on her forehead, and her fingertips did not shake. Only the corners of her mouth finally had a little arc that seemed to be satisfied.
With a last soft "click", the prop pistol appeared intact in Qin Jue's hand, and it also flipped a beautiful gun flower.
"It's light." Qin Jue said, "But the details are good."
The prop master next to the prop team leader opened his mouth for three or four seconds, and then said: "Awesome."
Qin Jue was happy: "Did you make it?"
The prop master didn't expect Qin Jue to come and talk, scratched his head and said happily: "I participated, I participated."
He is a military fan, and this time he happened to receive the job of making hot weapons, so he made this prop gun with the MGN pistol* as the prototype with great enthusiasm, and he had a great time.
The MGN pistol was originally positioned as a hunting pistol. The recoil of the real gun is very strong, even experienced shooters are easily injured, and it has a high frequency of jamming failures, so sales have not been very good.
But these are not important, the important thing is that it looks handsome!
Now the list needs a prop pistol, not a real one, without those real-life defects, as long as the appearance is cool and handsome enough-the prop master thought: Is there such a good thing?
This is why the gun in Qin Jue's hand is so exquisite and textured, because it is itself a powerful assembleable model gun.
"Have you ever considered putting a small ball of magic flame paper in it?" Qin Jue raised his gun, pointing the muzzle upwards and not at people, with a very standard hand posture.
The prop master's eyes could not help but stop at her hand holding the gun, and it took a beat longer to understand her intention: "Oh, oh, oh! I've thought about it, but..." The proposal was rejected by the team leader.
"I think we can try it. Special effects that can be solved in the early stage of shooting don't need to be bothered in the later stage." Qin Jue said the second half of the sentence to Sun Guangshan.
As the name suggests, magic flame paper is a small gadget that can explode a ball of flame with a little fire. The visual effect is great and the operation is effortless.
Sun Guangshan didn't know much about magic, and didn't understand what Qin Jue and the prop master meant. But the flame understood it, and couldn't help but hesitate between "shooting safety" and what Qin Jue said.
Finally, Sun Guangshan euphemistically said that "the later stage is also working for the later stage's money." Qin Jue knew that he didn't want to take this responsibility and understood that being a middleman was difficult. Qin Jue didn't want to embarrass him, so he gave up.
She sighed in her heart that it was rare to see a crew that puts the quality of the work as the first priority and works together. She couldn't help but miss "Entertainment Intern" for a short while, and then she stopped talking, fixed the Tang sword and pistol on her waist in turn, and walked into the performance area alone.
The costumes are handsome but tight. Normally, the pistol as a hidden weapon should not be hung outside so carelessly, but when you look closely, even the black cloak for covering is gone. Qin Jue can only accept this adaptation.
She quickly calmed down her momentum while walking, and after standing still, she first replicated the movement exactly as demonstrated just now, and then returned to the original position, and her figure suddenly flashed.
In an instant, the performance area was full of knife lights!
3100+
The total number of words added with 9.19 is 6200+, which makes up for 9.15.
*MGN: 44 Magnum semi-automatic pistol
I was thinking about how to separate the "shooting" and "positive response" parts of "Heart and Shadow Link" in the title.
