Until i actually DO get my visa, i shall not blog about it. yes, i do feel worried and anxious as the days go by. But i'd rather not talk or blog about it. As the more i talk about it, the more worried i get. Lets just hope i get it soon. REAL soon.
Yesterday i went on shoot! Call time was 815am. It was for this KFC shoot. they're apparently just feature KFC's range of burgers. It was at mediacorp studios. ok so where should i start. What's the advert like or how it was filmed. ok. Lets start with what's it like.
It's basically about Junyang ( i don't know whats his surname. He's the project superstar runnerup) living a live full of KFC burgers. hahah! so the first scene, u see him in a recording studio. He's playing the piano and eating a fillet burger at the same time.
The next scene, he climbs onto a bicycle with a beach in the background. He eats a benitto at the same time while riding his bike.
The next scene, he meets his female friend at KFC. There she pushes him a Zinger burger. There they enjoy their burger happily together.
The last scene is a food shot of the 5 burgers.
OK, so the actual KFC enviroment was filmed on Saturday. Read http://ali-is-sam.blogspot.com for more information. Then the beach bkground was filmed on sat also. But everything else was filmed in the studio. The recording studio was made up and portable. So Junyang had to go through all these scenarios in 12 seconds. Hence, everything was made movable, on wheels, and i mean EVERYTHING! The piano, the studio background, his shirt could be ripped off like that. The bicycle was moved into the camera but a person, and pushed away but that person too. the poor guy had to wrap himself in black cloth so that neither he nor his shadow could be seen on camera. Next, people has to push in the make believe KFC background. It was the heaviest make believe set. And guess who has to push it. Yes, you're reading what she's writing. ME! and this other guy. After he goes through the make believe door, a girl with the table had to be rolled in. Another person had to push Junyang's chair in for him too. I know its hard to imagine. But when you see the advert, you'll know what i mean.
I was actually suppose to push his chair in for him. But i saw it as quite a challenge.haha. Timing, position(on my knees and i had to wheel in the chair and bend down as low as possible) and all that. NAH, too tough. Too much pressure too. So i screwed up the rehearsals ( Not really purposely, but SEE! i told u it was too challenging for me!) and they made me push the fake KFC set in and out instead. i'm telling you! Me and this other guy pushed the set in and out for more than 50 times. NOT EXAGGERATING at all! But it was much easier than the chair la. haha. we continued to get the timing(wheeling everything in and out) and the acting right for like 5 hours? Director did NOT even let us off for lunch! WHAT THE! all of us were STARVING like mad. And the director still ghey gek and ask, what your faces all so no expression one. why are u all pushing the set in more slowly than previous shots. HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! isn't it obvious. everyone on set were like AFJI##$T$FGE!
So we only breaked for lunch, well i wouldnt even call it lunch. breaked for lunch at 430?!! GrrAAhh!
And about the talents. Well Mr Junyang was quite a nice guy. i didnt really directly talked to him. maybe just accidently banged the chair into his leg when i was the one pushing the chair in and saying sorry. and like pretending to act sho with him when i was the stand in girl during rehearsals. haha. and i thk i was quite rude. haha. Cos when the talents were resting, the director asked me to call for them. So i said " err, talents are being called for". then the makeup artist was like, "both right?" then i said " err, no, only they guy" and i just walked off. haha. BTW, i purposely didnt say his name cos i didnt wana make him sound so known? u know what i mean. hahaha. like he's not that of a dua pai? so not everyone knows his name? haha. then Junyang was like " hahaha, that guy?!" ..yea.. see! it got to him! haha. but he's quite a humble chap like. quite friendly. very short too. hahaha. i was wondering whether i should strike lil convos with him. but i thought NAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
And the female lead. She's quite pretty la. but she's frigging skinny and she spits out every bit of bread or chicken she has to eat after the director says cut. GEESh! she says she dst eat much chicken. but.. errrr.. that a bit too exaggerated la. Even the "dua pai" just swollows whatever nibbles he made on the burger. oh wells. oh and something disgusting. the DOP(director of photography, an important man along side with the director on set) was grossly flirting with the girl! EEEWWUUUE! saying stuff like, "ni zhuo hao de hua, wo jiu qing ni chi dong xi la" and "wa! wo mei you kan guo nu hai zi ke yi chuan xie zhi dao ze yang zhang de" and blah blah blah. U might thk it sounds ok, but if u were on set, you'll see what i mean.
And did you know they actually had a FOOD STYLIST! she more like a mummy looking person. she cooks the chicken, designs the burger until it looks digitally modified. haha. it looked so nicely in tact man. i think she made like 50 or more burgers the whole day. and the whole place smelt of fried chicken. EEWWW. SO SICK of KFC! even smelling it makes me feel unwell.
i got home at 10pm. ate dinner. bathed. and died on bed.
