Chapter 480: Tacit Understanding
In the afternoon, He Xin was surprised to find that as long as the crew was close, they all called him "Officer Lang".
He understands that Li Bingbing is just starting up, and he estimates that everyone in the crew may have watched the video of "Steamed Buns". Of course, everyone is just a good-natured ridicule of him, but at the same time, it also exposes their resonance with the perception of "Wuji" like most ordinary audiences.
But He Xin still disagrees with it more or less, compared with the many bad movies in later generations that rubbed the audience's aesthetics and IQ on the ground, "Wuji" should still be regarded as a work of conscience.
At least the picture is beautiful, the special effects are passable for the times, and the actors' performances are serious. There is no crazy filter grinding, no five-cent special effects, and no staying in the sea.
Alas, in the final analysis, the audience of this year is too picky, and they have not been beaten by the endless emergence of later generations, all kinds of bad movies that refresh the bottom line, and they have not yet exercised enough tolerance for bad movies.
At this time, after "Wuji" exceeded 180 million at the box office, it had come to the end of its release. In any case, "Boundless" has become the second highest-grossing film in China after "Hero".
In fact, "Steamed Buns" is not completely negative for "Wuji", at least it still plays a part in the box office, for example, after watching "Steamed Buns" first, many netizens took the initiative to buy tickets to watch "Wuji", just to see what this film looks like. After watching it, I came back with depression, turned on the computer, and commented under the "Steamed Bun" video: "Steamed Bun" is honest and doesn't deceive me!
However, the domestic box office of 180 million is tantamount to a drop in the bucket for the total investment of up to 35 million US dollars. After the hype at Cannes last May, Chen also plans to participate in this year's Berlinale in an attempt to replicate the miracles of "Hero" and "Ambush" at the overseas box office.
He Xin, who was absent from Cannes at the beginning, was invited again. To be honest, the Berlinale has always favored Chinese-language films, but it is always embarrassing for Chinese, because the Berlin Film Festival, which opens in early February, often collides with the traditional festival of Chinese - Spring Festival.
This year is an exception, from the Spring Festival on January 29 to the opening of the Berlin Film Festival on February 9, it is already the twelfth day of the Lunar New Year, and there is little conflict with the holiday. But during the period, there was also the Lantern Festival and Valentine's Day. After being busy for a whole year, He Xin, who had always wanted to take a good rest, once again declined this invitation.
Again, as long as there is no clear provision in the contract, it is a duty to help and not to help. Compared with Chen Dadao's affection, he still feels that it is more important to rest and accompany his family.
"Teacher He, can you think it's okay?"
The hairstylist in the group is new, and he doesn't have the charm of Mr. Tony, and he is a very capable young man. It may be the first time to give a haircut to a big star, and I was a little nervous.
He Xin shook his head left and right, and looked at his new hairstyle, which was very ordinary, which was in line with the image of intellectuals of that era.
"Yes, yes!
"Teacher He, look at what you said, it should be. The young man was busy.
While using a hair dryer to quickly wash off the broken hair remaining on the hair and neck, and then brushing it carefully with a brush.
Because of period dramas, there is no need for mousse, jelly water or the like, as long as it is clean and tidy.
The movies and TV series in this year are more rigorous in terms of service, and try to be as close as possible to the actual situation of the era in which the story takes place. For example, in "Bright Sword", the military uniform is always wrinkled, and Li Yunlong's shirt collar is always black.
I don't know when it started, the military uniforms that appear in the TV series are always spotless, all kinds of trendy hairstyles, slim suits, meals are either steak or red wine, and when you go out, you are all red flag cars, etc. It really makes people suspect that during the Republic of China and the Anti-Japanese Period, our country was more fashionable and wealthy than the United States.
Uh, that's a long way off. But whenever I write about service, I can't help but complain.
After filming "Qiao's Courtyard", he had a big bald head, and then he turned into a board brush, followed by short broken hair. Except for the cameo appearance of Mike in "Stone", he has his own hair and has always worn a hair cover before. After experiencing the high temperature in Chongqing, wearing a hair cover is tightly impermeable, which is simply a crime. Although it is winter now, I feel a lot more relaxed without the burden on my head.
"Officer Lang, are you okay?" Li Yang, assistant to the director, appeared at the door of the dressing room at this time and urged.
"You ...... guy"
He Xin was also powerless to complain, shook his head, stood up and said, "Okay, let's go." β
The site is on the second floor.
Because it was a family building converted into a family building by Duan Qirui's ruling government that year, the three-meter aisle in the middle room was extraordinarily spacious. The entire aisle is brightly lit, and the kitchens of every house are placed on both sides of the aisle, using kerosene stoves, which is very old-fashioned.
In the past few days, nearly 100 extras are needed every day, they go up and down the stairs, pass downstairs, for example, it is time to eat, every household is really cooking and stir-frying on both sides of the aisle, the smell of oil smoke is mixed with the fragrance of the meal, and children are running around and frolicking, and the breath of life is blowing in the face.
When He Xin arrived, he heard Yin Li's slightly hoarse voice shouting, "Card, it's over!"
Then the assistant director hurriedly jumped out with a loudspeaker and shouted: "It was very good just now! I hope everyone will continue to keep it up, and when the camera is turned on for a while, what should everyone do and still do it...... Hey, Li Yang, you take care of it, kid. β
Sometimes this kind of scene is the most feared, the scene is large, there are many extras, and the probability of making mistakes is particularly high, as long as one person makes a mistake, he has to start again. It is common to shoot a dozen or twenty shots in one shot.
"Xiaohe, do you want to go through it first?"
Seeing He Xin coming, Yin Li, who looked haggard, poked his head out from behind the monitor and asked.
"The Ballad of Yunshui" has been filming for more than three months since it was launched in early October and has been filming in Tibet Province, Hujian, and Beijing. If you want to talk about hard work, it is definitely the hardest for director Yin Li. Even though He Xin, the male number one with the most scenes, still has time to ask for leave to adjust every three or five days, but Yin Li has been staring at it from the beginning to the present, and there is almost no time to rest, and his black and fat face has also lost a lot of weight at this time.
He Xinchao glanced at Li Bingbing, who had arrived before him.
Li Bailian was full of confidence, and said with a provocative gaze: "Director, hurry up and shoot directly." β
"I'm okay with that. He Xin responded with a smile.
To be honest, after filming in the capital for nearly half a month, the cooperation between him and Li Bailian has become more and more tacit. In his previous life, he had never watched the play "The Ballad of Yunshui", but after cooperating with Li Bingbing this time, he was surprised to find that it was probably the best performance of Li Bingbing in his memory, and even surpassed his most impressive performance in "The Wind".
It's not that she's so skilled in terms of technology, it's mainly that she's very natural, and I feel that the role of Wang Jindi is tailor-made for her.
Some time ago, when she was filming a scene in a cave in Shijingshan, the injured hygienist she played, with black and sloppy makeup, was almost unrecognizable. And the character of the old lady in the Northeast who is very arrogant and does not admit defeat on her body is extremely compatible with Wang Jindi.
Although Li Bingbing is in his thirties, he is eight years old behind Fan Xiaopang, but in terms of the so-called "Sidan Shuangbing" hyped by Huayi, she can only be regarded as a small flower, and compared with Jiang Qinqin, who is two years younger than her, Li Bailian at this time is still well maintained, in her thirties, there are no crow's feet in the corners of her eyes, and the skin of her whole small face is still tight.
However, compared to the flaming red lips of bathing, sleeping, and being hospitalized when she was sick in later generations, the filter grinds the skin to the face without shadows, and the white ones are like ghosts, she is a ruthless character who can definitely throw away the burden of idols and dare to fight for the role.
This is also what makes He Xin respect Li Bailian, and he even thinks that it may be more suitable for Li Bailian to play Caifeng in "The Story of Two Donkeys". Book 6 bar
He had thought about looking for Zhou Xun before, but now Brother Xun is too expensive to afford. In contrast, Li Bailian is cheap and good.
It's not that he hasn't considered his girlfriend, it's just that the label of his girlfriend "heartthrob" is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if "Wulin Gaiden" is so popular now, the audience is still used to calling her "heartthrob" like Guo Furong. It would be very dramatic if she was asked to play a village girl.
is like the "A Spoon" filmed by Uncle Pancake in later generations, although Jiang Qinqin deliberately pretended to be ugly in it, as long as she thought that she was a beautiful Jiang Qinqin, it would make people play.
In today's scene, Yin Li waited for two days, waiting for a sunny day like today. The sunlight shines directly into the room through the window, and Yin Li, who has always admired natural light, thinks that the light is not enough, and it is another autumn play, so he simply opens the two windows on the south side.
It's going to be deadly, even though the house is heated. But the reason why it was a sunny day today was because yesterday there was a strong wind that blew away all the haze, and at the same time brought a sharp drop in temperature, even if the sun was abundant during the day, the temperature was only minus 10 degrees.
He Xin took off his down jacket outside, revealing an army green wool vest woven with wool and a white cotton shirt.
Because they are all soldiers, Li Bingbing is dressed like him, but the wool vest is light gray, but he is very energetic and looks not afraid of the cold at all.

The camera focuses on the smoky hallway, where women are busy and children are frolicking. At this time, two people wearing 58-style military uniforms and wearing captain's rank came up from the stairs with a joke, and then walked all the way towards the camera, the camera followed them, and when they walked through the door, the camera turned and saw two men standing in the room, women sitting, mixing a pot of steaming noodles.
The dragon who was dragging behind walked by, and specially walked back to look inside, and greeted with a smile: "Xiao Xu, it's hearty enough!"
He Xin turned around with chopsticks, smiled at the visitor, and said, "Here's a ...... A relative. β
In the shot, Li Bingbing's head was also tilted to the side just right, which was quite natural.
"Card, okay, change seats!" Yin Li waved his hand and shouted.
This shot doesn't fit into a two-camera position, where it's just a clip point that is disconnected, and then the camera is adjusted to continue shooting.
The camera position was adjusted to the room, and the camera was directly on Li Bingbing's face.
Before the filming started, I had to change the pot of noodles that had just been scooped up. No way, the window was too cold, and it turned out that the pot had run out of heat for a long time.
βActionοΌβ
"Xiao Xu, it's hearty enough!" The dragon set outside the door only gave a lower body and helped with a word.
He Xin, who was standing and looking back at the door, was also half-cut in the camera, and he heard him reply in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Here's a ...... A relative. β
Hearing the word "relative", Li Bingbing, who was scooping noodles into the bowl, paused, looked up and rolled his eyes at him. In the camera, it was still He Xin's half-pulled body, and when he saw that he seemed to be apologizing and deliberately flattering, he hurriedly helped Li Bingbing get a noodle with chopsticks in his bowl.
met on the battlefield in Korea, Li Bingbing took the initiative to confess, and it has been nearly ten years now, and she is still chasing after her thirties. She knew He Xin's past, and she was used to words like rejection, but she instinctively expressed her dissatisfaction.
Then I saw her and said, "Later, I'll go to your leader." β
"What for?"
"Your body is not fit to go to the plateau. β
When she came over this time, she had already learned that He Xin was about to go to Tibet.
"Don't mess around!"
He Xin's face still did not appear, the camera was always aimed at Li Bingbing's front, and the two were talking while scooping noodles and barcode dishes.
"I told them that my brother is a southerner and is afraid of the cold. When on the battlefield in Korea...... My feet are frozen......"
In the middle of her words, her voice suddenly choked, mixing the noodles in the bowl, her lips trembled, her face turned away, and she saw tears overflowing her eyes visibly.
To be honest, what He Xin admires most is Li Bingbing, if this scene is played by him, the emotions will definitely brew for a long time, and the speed of tears will definitely be much slower than her.
At this time, the camera finally showed his face, and if he was fishing for noodles, he heard Li Bingbing's voice was wrong, looked down, sighed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Don't be like this." β
After saying that, he hurriedly walked over and closed the door first.
At that time, the whole country was working hard to build socialism, "three red flags", "how fast and good to save", "drum up energy, strive for the top", many times pay attention to being strong, crying is a sign of weakness, not dignified.
He walked up to Li Bingbing and sat down, took his dishes and chopsticks, squeezed out a smile and comforted: "Don't worry......
I don't know if Li Bailian really substituted Wang Jindi, or replaced it with some emotion, just closed the door, at this time she was really crying very sadly, hearing He Xin's voice, her pear blossom with rain face deliberately pinned to the other side.
He Xin put a chopstick dish in her bowl, explained and comforted: "The subject I studied is related to frostbite. Besides, I don't have any drag, people drag their children and daughters, my situation is ......."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Bingbing and said, "You didn't!"
Saying that, she couldn't help but pat the chopsticks in her hand, stood up, with a sad and resentful face, for so many years, she has been deeply in love with each other, but the other party has never been able to let go of her former lover, unwilling to accept it, making her heart throb with bursts of pain.
At this moment, she finally couldn't help but erupt, but she deliberately lowered her voice and yelled at him: "You have nothing, it's the most appropriate for you to go!"
then walked in front of the camera angrily, leaving He Xin's surprised but helpless face.
The camera froze for two seconds, and Yin Li was heard shouting: "Okay, very good! Hey, the noodles are ready, let's make up one!"
Without him, the noodles on the table were cold again.
