Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

Chapter 33 is both a self-introduction and an epitaph.

The next day, the director led the crew of over a hundred people to Jiangzuo Ancient Town in Tengchong.

When we arrived, there were already hundreds of people there to prepare, just waiting for the actors to take their places.

Because it is a war film, there will be a lot of explosion scenes during the filming process. The production team specially hired Guo Yan, a senior pyrotechnician from Xi'an Film Studio, to serve as the head of the pyrotechnics team. He is a senior expert who has been working with gunpowder for more than 30 years.

Jiangzuo Ancient Town is a beautiful border town.

Walking through the ancient town, you can feel the traces of history, giving you a sense of time travel.

After the crew arrived, before they even had a chance to appreciate the beautiful scenery, they were directed by the director to join the film crew and begin the intense filming.

The drama "Number Number" strives for realism in its costumes, makeup, and props. The actors' makeup and clothing are all very dirty, and their faces are never clean.

The director of the TV series "My Chief and My Regiment" also adopted a realistic style.

Upon arriving at the filming location, Zhang Ze saw five or six rollers lined up in a row, spinning around with a whirring sound.

The costume and makeup team was also busy aging the military uniforms.

Holding his tattered military uniform, he sat there waiting for the makeup artist to give him a dirty-looking appearance.

Zhang Ze knew that this play should be pretty good.

You can tell whether a drama is made with sincerity just by looking at its costumes, props, and sets.

To make the filming more realistic, the director announced this to the crew before filming began.

"We only wore one set of clothes for this movie and didn't change them in between. Before entering the filming location, everyone would roll around on the ground to get their clothes a little dirty."

"Remember who you are, you are defeated soldiers."

The director's words sent a chill down everyone's spines.

I thought to myself that I was in for a world of trouble, because the director was actually serious.

Before the director could finish speaking, the makeup artist came over and applied color oil to everyone's bodies.

"Hey everyone, stop standing there, start rolling!"

Zhang Guoqiang, who plays Mi Long, shouted loudly and then took the lead in rolling on the ground.

With one person taking the lead, everyone else followed suit and started rolling around on the ground.

If you were there, you would have witnessed this amazing scene: dozens of grown men, including some A-list celebrities, were rolling around on the ground in front of hundreds of onlookers.

As they rolled around, Zhang Guoqiang started playfully fighting with Zhang Yi next to him, and then Wang Dazhi and Wang Xun joined in the fray.

The scene was in complete chaos, while the production crew just stood there watching the spectacle with amusement.

The production team of "My Chief and My Regiment" put a lot of effort into the props.

Because of the cooperation with the military, many of the firearms on site were real guns.

This made Zhang Ze very happy, thinking that he finally had the opportunity to fire a real gun!

No boy dislikes shooting; he had already started fantasizing about the future, about holding a real gun and firing away.

While smoking with his friends from the props team, Zhang Ze learned that the entire crew had over 300 real guns and over 400 life-size replicas.

There are about 700 guns alone. In addition, the simulated heavy weapons, such as the Japanese Type 92 mountain gun, the Type 60 mortar, the handheld grenade launcher, the American Octocas, rocket launchers, flamethrowers and radio call devices, are all made one-to-one according to the original drawings.

In addition to these weapons, the production team also built a 1:1 scale American C46 transport plane, costing over 70,000, three tanks, each costing over 200,000, and four American jeeps, each costing 100,000.

It can be said that the production team and art team of the group leader put in a lot of effort and money. The makeup and costumes are very realistic, and the details are handled very cleverly to restore the history as much as possible.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Let me go, or I'll beat you to death!"

Zhang Yi was lying on the ground, being tickled by Zhang Guoqiang, while Wang Dazhi took off Zhang Yi's shoes and tickled the soles of his feet.

Wang Xun also rolled around with the actress who played Kang Ya.

Several actresses looked at the group of men covered in mud on the ground with smiles on their faces.

These kinds of games, where it's all men, are the most comfortable; everyone has a lot of fun.

These are all legitimate actors, unlike those young idols who film period dramas or romance dramas.

They're all incredibly arrogant, even crying over the slightest finger injury.

In filming, the only issues are fighting over billing order, adding scenes, and changing lines. There's no acting skill, but plenty of trivial matters.

This kind of filming atmosphere is what Zhang Ze likes.

Seeing everyone joking around, the director didn't stop them and just watched.

This helps the actors deepen their relationship, and being able to joke around together makes it easier to communicate while filming.

"Okay everyone, stop now. So many people are watching, don't let people laugh at us."

The director is still waiting to start filming!

Veterinarian Luo Jingmin stood up and called everyone to stop.

He had rolled around on the ground several times, and now his uniform was very dirty.

Luo Jingmin straightened his military uniform and put the military cap on his head.

His back, which had been straight just moments before, suddenly became hunched over. In an instant, he was no longer actor Luo Jingmin, but veterinarian Hao Xichuan.

Zhang Ze thought to himself, "This is the skill of a veteran actor!"

Get into character in a second!

……

Everyone stood up and lined up, ready to film the first shot.

To bring good luck, the director habitually made the first scene relatively simple.

In order to help everyone feel a sense of belonging to their identity and get into character better, the director chose a scene where the cannon fodder group introduces themselves in the shelter.

My Chief and My Regiment, Scene 1, First Shot: Clapperboard Cut.

Elkeson

In a dilapidated courtyard of a containment war.

Mi Long lay impatiently in the hammock.

Wang Xun saluted and said with a solemn expression.

"Li Sifu, Corporal, 2nd Heavy Rifle Company, Sichuan Army Regiment!"

"Shanxi Datong Kang Huolian, a veteran of combat, served in the 17th Reorganized Division, and was a warrant officer and deputy platoon leader!"

"My name is Gu Xiaomai, from Baoding, Hebei. I am a private first class in the supply battalion of the newly formed 51st Division. I have fought in battles and attended school."

Li Chen: "I think you're only fifteen or sixteen. You think you can become a private first class?"

"Sir, I'm nineteen this year and have been a soldier for five years," Zhang Ze replied with a grin and a sincere expression.

"Lin Yi, a native of Shanghai, has never fought in a war!"

"Ma Daji, subordinate to the infantry company of the Guangdong Army."

"Hey, shameless Li Wula, you actually dared to go. Don't you know how many people you've killed?"

"Li Liansheng, from Jinzhou, Liaoning. Second Lieutenant Platoon Leader in the Northeast Army."

"Li Liansheng, my foot! How many battles have you won?" Mi Long angrily pointed at Li Liansheng and cursed.

"His name is Deng Bao. He is from Funan. He fought against the Japanese. He never went to school. He was a private first class in the 7th Infantry Company."

"You didn't lose your weapon, did you?"

"Sir, we're still alive and have our guns!"

They are earnestly recounting their place of origin; this will be their roster, and also their future epitaph!
