Chapter 18: Insomnia
There are not many staff members from Hong Kong, and most of them are from the mainland. Including Li Huatong and Niu Le, several of them have worked together in the crew of "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle".
Two days later, He Xin officially joined the group.
First of all, you have to shape. Hu Jun's style has long been decided, that is, the domineering president Fan. And He Xin is thinner than him, and he is a student, and Zhang Shuping, the art director and costume designer of the crew, specially designed a plaid shirt and pullover sweater for him, and the collar must be turned out, saying that this is Japanese style.
The story of Beijing takes place in the mid-to-late eighties to the nineties, and that would be popular with this.
Although He Xin's hair was a little longer, Zhang Shuping was still not satisfied, so he simply added a hood, which was left long in the back, with sideburns half covering the ears, and the front was parted in the middle.
He looked at himself in the mirror, and the vague image of Lan Yu imagined in his mind magically coincided, and he couldn't help but praise it suddenly, it was finally in vain for a morning, it seems that this big-nosed uncle really has two brushes.
"Xinzai!"
"Director, you ......"
"Oh, I forgot again, Ah Xin, haha! Come, sit together. ”
During lunch, Guan Jinpeng called He Xin over.
Working with Hong Kong people, he is most annoyed by others to call him "Xinzi", although this is the way they are used to being called, just like in the capital, some people have called him "Xinzi", he is also very unaccustomed to this kind of title, every time he always corrects people, calling him "Xiaohe" or "Ah Xin".
Although He Xin's current identity is from a small city in the northeast, he is still the He Xiaozu who was born and raised in a small county town on the southeast coast.
"Here's what I'm going to shoot at night. While having lunch, Guan Jinpeng took a piece of paper and handed it to He Xindao.
"Poof......
He Xin took it and looked at it, almost didn't squirt out the rice in his mouth, and said with an incredulous expression: "Director, I'm ...... I'm going to shoot this for the first scene?"
Although it is impossible to shoot according to the script, it is necessary to leave a little time for the actors to gradually get used to it, and then shoot some more intense scenes, such as kiss scenes, boat scenes, etc. This is common sense that He Xin knows even if he has only made one movie.
I didn't expect Guan Jinpeng to arrange a boat show for him when he came up, and it was all fruitful.
What is this operation?
"This is the first time Lan Yu and Handong have met, and it is the first time he has experienced this kind of thing, all I want is that strangeness and tension......"
Guan Jinpeng Balabala said a lot, and then asked He Xin to think about it himself.
Wonder?
He Xin didn't know what to think about at all.
In the afternoon, the camera moved, and then the two rehearsed, although it was the first time to cooperate with Hu Jun, He Xineng could clearly feel that the other party was also a little nervous.
Because the Friendship Hotel did not coordinate well, the crew was transferred to the North China Hotel to shoot this scene in the evening, from 8 o'clock in the evening to the early morning.
To be honest, this is the most distracting scene He Xin filmed, and I was confused in my mind until the end. Quanguo, he is not afraid, anyway, they are all big men, just in the bathhouse.
But he was passive throughout the whole process, and many of them were subconscious stress reactions. For example, there is a scene where Hu Jun came to him after taking a shower and said: It's not early, he was a spirit at that time, and he obviously felt that he was trembling all over, and goosebumps came out.
But Guan Jinpeng was very satisfied with this shot, saying that what he wanted was this state.
(No way, the plot doesn't dare to be written in too much detail.) )
Guan Jinpeng is a very delicate and gentle person, with a smile on his face from time to time, and He Xin has hardly seen him angry.
During the second filming, He Xin inevitably compared him with Wang Xiaoshuai, and found that the styles of the two directors were similar, but Guan Jinpeng was very chatty, especially able to talk.
He did not shy away from his identity as a comrade, talked to them about his real experience, and talked about the separation and union of him and his boyfriend for more than ten years before, and he burst into tears when he was emotional, and He Xin and Hu Jun were thrilling to listen, but they had to be moved.
The scene was filmed for more than ten days, and almost every day it was non-stop NG, reshooting, and stumbling all the time. In contrast, He Xin found that the problem was more in himself, he was very anxious, and locked himself in the room after finishing work every day, reading the script over and over again, picking out Lan Yu's personality traits, doing detailed character analysis, feeling and substituting with his own emotions.
On this day, the shooting was still not going well, and after finishing work, He Xin returned to the room dejectedly, and just sat down, there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Uh, director?"
When he opened the door, he saw Guan Jinpeng standing at the door with a smile, and then he saw an open bottle of red wine and two goblets in his hand.
"Ah Xin, let's have a drink?"
"Okay, director, come in. ”
The two sat down at the coffee table and poured two glasses of wine.
"Director, I respect you!"
To be honest, He Xin was a little weak-hearted, he knew that he didn't perform well today, and the director would definitely not come to the door in person.
picked up the wine glass and gestured to Guan Jinpeng, and toasted directly, looking like he was making amends.
Guan Jinpeng looked at him in amazement and sighed, "Ah Xin, red wine is not drunk like this. ”
As he spoke, he shook the wine glass in his hand, first leaned his nose over and sniffed it, and then took a small sip, took it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, and then swallowed it.
He Xin could only sweat and say: "That...... Director, I'm not very good at drinking. ”
"It's okay, it's okay. ”
Guan Jinpeng poured a little more into his glass, continued to shake his wine glass, and said, "Ah Xin, I see that you go back to your room every day after work, and you don't go out, you don't have a girlfriend?"
"Well, no. ”
This room is logically where he and Hu Jun live together, but the eldest brother will go home with his daughter-in-law no matter how late he finishes work every day, so he is cheaper to be alone.
The hotel is in good condition, and there are hot showers every day, so He Xin doesn't want to go back to his rental house at all.
"I'd suggest you'd better find one, even if it's temporary. ”
"Uh......"
He Xin didn't understand what Guan Jinpeng meant, what is temporary?
"I mean don't push yourself too hard, just relax. ”
"It's okay, director. ”
He Xin said sincerely: "I know my performance is not good these days, but don't worry, director, I will definitely work hard......"
Guan Jinpeng shook his head and interrupted: "You still don't understand! Let's put it this way, your performance is very exaggerated, or too deliberate, very unreal, this is your problem here." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to his head and said, "Because you don't believe it, you don't believe it's true." So I told you to relax, get a girlfriend, and go and feel that feeling for yourself......"
In the end, Guan Jinpeng also patted him on the shoulder with a smile and joked: "Ah Xin, you are a pretty boy! Go to the bar below and take a turn, and you can definitely catch one!"
Hey, you old glass!
Guan Jinpeng is purging him to experience the real state.
can't help but say that he is completely joking, He Xin thought about it carefully, and felt that there was indeed a "performance" in the performances between them. To put it bluntly, there are still obstacles in my heart.
Most of the bottles of wine are poured into Guan Jinpeng's stomach, and they Hong Kong people usually love to drink. Although He Xin doesn't drink much, he still likes to drink white wine or rice wine, and he has no sense of foreign wine and wine, and he can't drink it well.
After the old glass left, he was really a little nervous about the proposal just now. It has been more than a year since he came to this era, and he has never had a woman, not that he doesn't want to, but that he has always had an inferiority complex in his bones.
In his previous life, he was short and poor, and in the end, except for his wife, no woman could look down on him, and he was unwilling to spend money.
He has a good skin bag this year, as Lao Guan just said, he is a beautiful boy. He wanted to put on his clothes and go downstairs to the bar to try his luck, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't take this step.
"It's still cowardly!"
He sighed, lay down on the bed, picked up the script as usual, and began to think about tomorrow's play.
Reading the lines in the script, I imagined the scene of Lan Yu and Han Dong's sideburns grinding in my mind. He suddenly remembered what Guan Jinpeng said to him inadvertently when he was leaving: "Don't care about the other party, you need to believe that you really love this person, it's enough." ”
He pondered this sentence over and over again, and that night he unexpectedly lost sleep......
