After settling Curly Hair's matters, the cast and crew officially started filming.
Once they officially started filming, everyone in the cast and crew's pace of life became extremely fast.
Many people had thought that they were already busy enough during the preparation period. Unexpectedly, they didn't even have time to go to the gourmet food court during the official filming period. Not just the gourmet food court, even the number of times they went to the cafeteria was greatly reduced. Every time, it was the cafeteria staff who delivered lunch boxes.
The next time they could sit down and have a good meal would probably be when their individual scenes were done.
Eleven chapters were being filmed at the same time, and there were eleven filming teams. No one wanted to fall behind. On one hand, there was a sense of competition. On the other hand, the lead director was watching from the back. No one dared to slack off.
Don't be fooled by Roman's casual demeanor before filming started. Sometimes, he would even joke around with the actors. But when he got serious, Roman was very frightening. He would immediately transform into a demon.
Roman wished he could grab a whip and stare at each team every day. If any team's progress was slow, he would give them a good beating.
Of course, he wouldn't really give them a whip, but Roman didn't give them any face when he scolded them. A-list and super-first-rate actors, as well as the executive directors and assistant directors of the various teams, were all scolded by Roman until they doubted their own lives.
For actors and actresses, the most relaxing time was probably the two hours of precious time they had to surf the Internet every seven days.
Under most circumstances, these two hours were the time the cast and crew gave everyone a break. Every seven days, these two hours were also the time when the cast and crew were the most relaxed. Both physically and mentally, they were more relaxed. This was because this was the only time they could go online to find some comfort and vent their frustrations. Regardless of whether it was chatting with family members or surfing the headlines online, it was much more relaxing than filming.
Every time that time came, the internet would be especially lively. All the big-name actors and their teams would fight to grab the headlines.
Before it was time for the cast and crew to surf the internet, they would quickly search for other news. When it came to the two hours seven days later, everything else had to give way. These two hours were also nicknamed "Founding Era" time.
Fans were also counting down the days waiting for those two hours.
There was no need for additional publicity or special advertising. Once the time came, it would automatically become "Founding Era" time.
Every time this time came, the traffic on various websites and social media platforms would soar like rockets.
The film crew and some of the crew members would take advantage of this time to show off the photos and videos that they had been saving for a week.
What could be released and what could not was clearly stated in the rules that were given to everyone in the production team.
The news of three entertainment reporters being taken away by the soldiers at the film studio had also reached the production team. Roman had purposely leaked the news to warn those who were ready to make trouble: Don't think you're smart, and don't think you can get away with it.
You're not abiding by the rules and regulations of the production team? You want to expose content outside of the rules and regulations?
This was what Roman said. "Go ahead and send it. If you can send it out, it's my loss! Did they really think that no one was monitoring the internet? Don't look for me when the army comes knocking on your door. Scram!! "
On the online interactive platform, a C-list actor updated his personal status — —
"I got my lunch box (photo)."
The accompanying picture was a picture of a lunchbox. The dishes were tempting and mouth-watering. It was quite eye-catching.
Fans who didn't know the truth laughed in the comments section.
"The food for the crew is not bad, and the portions are sufficient."
"I heard that the filming environment was tough, but I'm relieved to see you eating so well."
"Looking closely, there are a total of eight dishes, including fruits and drinks. So rich! Most importantly, there are actually six dishes that I haven't eaten before! Isn't that planet Wai's specialty? "
"I've never eaten such a luxurious lunch box before. So envious."
"Give me one of these lunchboxes too!"
But very quickly, an actor who had a good relationship with him forwarded — —
"Brother, take care [candle]. I can still persevere for a few more days. "
Another actor from the same continent also joined in the fun — —
"[candle] You guys go first. I'll join you guys later."
Soon after, other actors also forwarded.
Fans were puzzled.
"Judging from their tone, something doesn't seem right."
"Is there a reason behind this?"
There were also people who went to the official "Founding Era" account to ask.
"Founding Era" officials had specially released a message explaining the special significance of this lunchbox.
The production team's canteen would prepare a sumptuous lunchbox for those who had finished filming their scenes.
Seeing this, fans ran to the accounts of their idols to light candles.
The onlookers were also interested.
As soon as they saw an actor's latest status was an exquisite, fragrant, and plentiful boxed lunch, they would rush over to light the candle, and the comment section below would be filled with a long line of candles.
"You finished filming so quickly? [Candle]
"I wonder when I'll be able to see it. When will the show be broadcast? I'm looking forward to it! [Candle]
"Does that mean that the character in the movie is dead?" Su Qianci asked. [Candle]
"Take care [candle]."
"[Candle] saw quite a few similar messages today. The frequency at which the cast and crew of 'Founding Era' are giving out bento boxes is a little high."
"There are so many celebrities from all twelve continents in the world, so of course there will be a lot of bento boxes."
Although some people had a bad feeling when they saw so many bento boxes and candles, most of the netizens were just having fun. It was a once a week party, so of course they would play to their heart's content. Furthermore, everyone's expectations for "Founding Era" were mostly based on having fun and guessing which episode their own fans would receive their bento box.
The fans had it easy, but the actors had it tough.
The intensity of filming was not a big deal for actors with decades of experience. They were used to it. But to insist on filming under bad weather conditions was a little unbearable.
For example, yesterday's weather had suddenly changed and there had been a sudden hail storm. Everyone had thought that outdoor filming would be stopped and everyone would steal some time to rest. They had not expected that Roman would be especially happy. "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Hurry up! What a favorable time and place! Everyone, make some adjustments. Those scenes that correspond, let's start filming first! "
The hailstones were not very big and would not injure them if they hit their bodies, but they would be a little painful.
The lead director was watching from the side, so the actors gritted their teeth and went on.
There were medical staff at the side. After filming, they would check on your body and give you medicine and injections. They would not let you get sick. Roman controlled the speed very well and would not really put the actors' lives in danger.
They endured the pain and did not get sick, but their bodies and minds were very tired. The actors felt like they were being tortured.
Thinking back, at the start, the props instructor had told them to eat a few good meals first. Now, they felt like they had eaten too little. Now that they were filming, there were times when they were very hungry and very tired, but they could not eat anything.
A Muzhou actor privately ridiculed, This is simply using people as livestock!
Whether they were happy or not, in order not to delay filming, they still had to do it.
Even if it was a high-class celebrity who had brought along a team of assistants when filming, they still had to follow the requirements of "Founding Era." They still had to force themselves to adapt.
What else could they do? If they were sent back, they would lose face. Furthermore, they were not stupid. Who would be willing to give up such an opportunity? As long as they could endure it, the benefits would be immeasurable.
Every management company had long warned their own artists that if anyone courted death during filming and caused trouble, affecting the filming of the cast and crew, the company would remove this "stain" in advance without the need for anyone in the cast to say anything. This was to prevent the incident from affecting their own artists.
But after two months of filming, there were still a few big-name actors with experience who could not help but give suggestions to the director.
Technology was advancing at a rapid pace. In the past, when they had filmed similar scenes, they had used computer special effects to solve the problem. They had only needed to act indoors. Their acting skills were up to par, and with the addition of technology, they had filmed very well. They had also won awards. This had always been the case. Now, they had to film in real locations. Even if they had to film in real locations, it was not like they had not shot such scenes before. However, some scenes had to be filmed in bad weather, which was not right. They could obviously avoid all this, yet they had to film in real locations. Wasn't this a regression in technology?
Thus, they had come up with a plan and wanted to fight for some benefits, hoping to avoid such situations. It was not like they could not film the same scenes. Why would they have to suffer so much?
Then, they received a heartless rejection from Roman. "If you want to act, then act. If you don't, then scram! A long time ago, when technology was not so advanced, didn't actors still act the same? You want to act as a hero, but you can't even endure 1% of the hardships. You are unable to personally experience the situation at that time. You are unable to act more deeply and perfectly. What can you do to save yourselves? Acting skills that are not even as good as a newcomer's!! "
What can you do to save yourselves? Acting skills that are not even as good as a newcomer's...
Acting skills that are not even as good as a newcomer's...
A group of award-winning actors and actresses felt as if their chests had been stabbed by a knife.
As for the "newcomer" he had mentioned...
Who else could it be?
Fang Zhao!
Who did not know that Fang Zhao was a newcomer actor recommended by Roman? He was also the only actor under the age of 30 who had taken on an important role in "Founding Era."
When the weather was bad, Roman had said to film, and Fang Zhao had done so without a word. Most importantly, his acting skills were top-notch. Everyone could see that he was indeed very suitable for that role and could act it well.
At the same time, Fang Zhao was also the only one who had not used a stunt double for two months of filming. He had done the fight scenes and stunts himself.
Because the stunt double and stunt team had not done as well as Fang Zhao, Roman, who pursued perfect filming effects, had directly said, "Fang Zhao, you do it yourself!"
In the eyes of the cast and crew, Fang Zhao was someone who dared to fight and fight. As an actor, there was nothing much to say about him. He had also received the approval of many seniors in the industry.
But approval was approval. Every time Roman brought it up to attack others, who could take it well?
"Look at Fang Zhao!"
This was what Roman often said.
This time, it was even better. All he had done was raise a suggestion, and Roman had said, "What can you do to save yourselves? Acting skills that are not even as good as a newcomer's."
It had to be said that Roman's ability to incur hatred for Fang Zhao in the cast and crew was top-notch. Every time Fang Zhao went to the cafeteria to eat, he would receive many gloomy gazes.
As for Zaro, his scenes had not started yet. Right now, he was undergoing training and honing his acting skills every day.
But he was listless.
Today, he had not gone through two training sessions. Zaro came out of the restroom for the seventh time, his entire body listless from diarrhea.
After taking the medicine his agent had just bought, he felt slightly better. But before his mood could soar, he raised his head and saw Barbara in front of him, holding a fan in her hand.
Barbara's scenes had not started yet. During this period, she was also undergoing training here.
Zaro looked at the temperature outside. It was -7 degrees Celsius. Although there was an air conditioner indoors, it was definitely not hot. Who would bring a fan outside when the temperature was so low?
The way Zaro looked at Barbara was like he was looking at a lunatic.
Barbara gave Zaro a sidelong glance as if she was looking at a piece of trash. "I heard you are not acclimatized?"
"Acclimatized! How am I not acclimatized?! "Zaro replied immediately.
"That weak stomach of yours..." Barbara looked at Zaro disdainfully and sneered. "Trash."
Although Barbara was usually pretentious and always had the air of an aristocrat, her physique was really strong. She had fully inherited what people called "Lazhou's royal family." The Lakalina family seemed weak, but in reality, they had a monstrous physique. She indeed had the capital to look down on Zaro.
Zaro was infuriated by the evaluation of "trash." He turned his head and told his agent, "Go, buy me a 40-meter broadsword! I will fight it out with her! "
Zaro's agent hurriedly pulled Zaro back and said in a low voice, "... Senior Master, let's not bicker with her. Let's study the script and strive to pass it in one take. When the series starts broadcasting, the governor will also want to watch it. The old master will surely watch it too."
Zaro did not think much of it when his agent mentioned the governor, but when he heard "old master," his whole body tensed up.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zaro raised his hand and pointed at Barbara. "Just you wait!"
After saying this, he turned around and left with his agent.
"How do you feel after taking the medicine?" Zaro's agent was worried. As a guest assistant, he still had to take care of Zaro's basic necessities. On account of his high salary, he could not let anything happen to Zaro.
After taking the medicine, Zaro's spirit had returned. Hearing his agent's question, Zaro thought about it seriously and said, "I am very good now! I reckon that I have already cleansed my muscles and marrow. "
Zaro's agent: "..."
No, you were just messing around by eating! You are jumping around now because I went to buy the medicine!
"Hey, is there any other way to quickly improve my acting skills? I feel that my acting is not bad. Why do those teachers still want me to improve? "Zaro asked, puzzled.
Zaro's agent looked at Zaro expressionlessly for a few seconds. The role that the Leizhou governor had arranged for Zaro would only appear in the later stages of the second season. This arrangement was to give Zaro sufficient time to hone his eye-piercing acting skills!
In the past, the series that he had invested in and acted in had barely been watchable because the other actors had not acted seriously. Furthermore, Zaro's strong points had been deliberately magnified. Everything had been for the sake of Zaro, the main character, and the investors. But in the cast of "Founding Era," when compared to the others, it was far from enough. It was as awkward as it could be. Even as Zaro's agent, he felt ashamed.
After pondering seriously for a bit, Zaro's agent said, "How about you look for Fang Zhao for advice? He definitely has a way. In any case, we have cooperated with him a few times. We are not strangers. "
"Don't mention Fang Zhao to me!" Zaro said angrily. "Looks? Figure? Family background? Qualifications? Reputation? How am I inferior to him?! "
Zaro's agent: "..." I actually don't know how to respond. Whatever I say is wrong.
