Two days is obviously not enough time to read the script, and Dai Sijie seems to have enough confidence in his script to omit this pre-start preparation link, which makes He Xin slightly disappointed.

Since he experienced a script reading during the filming of "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", he feels that this is very important, in addition to allowing the actors to quickly get familiar with each other, but also to solve the problem of cooperation and tacit understanding between each other.

Later, it turned out that Dai Sijie and Guan Jinpeng were actually the same way. Because Lao Guan is a senior gay himself, he kept chatting with him and Hu Jun during the filming to enhance their understanding of the psychology and physiology of the characters.

Similarly, Desjie was once an educated youth, and "Balzac and the Little Tailor" is more like a bitter memory of his intellectually young life. He laughed and said that he was also in love with a beautiful girl in the village back then, but he didn't dare to confess it, and he had a silent crush, and later the girl married the son of the village chief, for which he was sad for a long time.

The last time he returned to his hometown, he still wanted to meet the girl he once loved, but he never thought that the beautiful and gentle girl he used to be had now become a bloated and rude aunt, and the beautiful image he remembered in his heart collapsed instantly, so he was relieved.

For two days, Dai Sijie took them to the surveyed scenic spot for a turn, telling everyone the story of when he once cut the queue along the way.

For example, the story of the alarm clock in the script, that's true. Because he could see the time, he and another educated youth were able to command the entire village at one time.

He Xin has never been to Zhangjiajie, and he used to see photos here on the Internet, with many traces of artificial carving, similar to ropeways, cliff elevators, glass bridges, and so on. Today's Zhangjiajie is more of the original beauty.

But what surprised everyone even more was the cottage where Luo Ming and Ma Jianling lived in the script, and many scenes took place in this hut.

Today, the hut is built on the dam of a reservoir, because only from there can you clearly see the Tianmen Cave in the distance.

The dam is tens of meters high and wide, with steep slopes on both sides, and cars cannot drive up it at all, and all materials are carried up manually. It is said that it took more than a month to build this house.

"Cards!"

Desje shouted again to stop.

Today is the first scene after the start-up, talking about the little tailor leaving the mountains to go to the big city, Luo Ming and Ma Jianling went to chase, Luo Ming chased in front of the little tailor, Ma Jianling stood on the side of the mountain and looked at her, just like the first meeting of the three of them.

The filming site is far from the road, and all the equipment is carried by local villagers in baskets. I have to say here that the equipment used by the crew is very good, all of them are specially shipped from France, and both cameras are the kind of cannon barrels, exquisite tracks, and large rocker arms.

There is also a director's special monitor, which is not the usual kind of small TV set to be placed on the table, Dai Sijie's one is actually portable, packed in a box, like a laptop, as soon as the lid is lifted, it is the screen of the monitor.

These devices are extremely rare in China, and even Zhou Xun, an "old actor", is the first time to see it, very curious, and often comes to the photographer's side during shooting breaks, looking at the super wide angle in the lens through the frame.

At this time, I was filming the farewell shots of Luo Ming played by Chen Kun and the little tailor played by Zhou Xun, and I have already taken several shots, Dai Sijie likes long shots, one camera is set on the other side of the mountain, shooting long shots, and then the other is shooting close shots.

This scene was very unsmooth from the beginning, first of all, as soon as one was filmed, Dai Sijie was dissatisfied with the pre-surveyed scene, and asked to switch positions between the two hillsides, saying that the scenery seen in the long shot was even more empty, symbolizing that the little tailor was about to walk out of the mountain.

It is a U-shaped mountain road with stone steps that connect two adjacent slopes. Although it is adjacent, it is a mountain after all, and it is said that Wangshan runs a dead horse, even if it is two adjacent slopes, the distance between the mountain roads is very long.

The director gave an order, and the two tall French photographers had to hold the machine to change positions, and the dozens of pounds of the camera were carefully held in their arms, up and down the steep steps, and one of the buddies arrived at the designated position, and sat on the steps panting, and did not get up for a long time.

Then there is the grinding actor, Zhou Xun is better, and He Xin and Chen Kun came from the path because Luo Ming and Ma Jianling crossed the path in order to catch up with the little tailor, and the two ran over and over again on the bushy hillside, tired like dogs.

At this time, everyone understands that the director is grinding the camera, but when he comes up, he will grind the camera with the three leading actors, and everyone has to admire Dai Sijie's courage.

Although this is Dai Sijie's fourth film, he is not well-known in China, facing a Parisian actress, a Berlin best newcomer, and a popular domestic student, Director Dai is afraid that he wants to get off the horse as soon as he comes up. There is no warmth that talked and laughed two days ago, and sure enough, no director is good.

But then again, it is estimated that it is difficult for an honest person to command the huge crew of the mixed Chinese and French in front of him.

Luo Ming and the little tailor said goodbye to seven or eight shots in a row, and Dai Sijie shouted. He Xin has been leaning around the director, looking at the picture on the portable monitor.

It is said that Chen Kun and Zhou Xun were originally the same company, the same agent, they are very familiar with each other, standing together, in the fashionable words of later generations, they have a "sense of CP", and they also have a very tacit understanding in filming.

Especially when Chen Kun said affectionately to Zhou Xun: "I love you so much, but you left without saying a word." The red eyes and choked tone looked particularly vivid.

When the close-up of the camera was given to Zhou Xun, although she didn't say a word, she was calm on the surface, but her eyes revealed helplessness and firmness.

It is helpless to lose the love with Luo Ming, but the determination to get out of the mountain is firm.

The two emotions can be clearly and layered very restrained only through the eyes, which is simply amazing!

If you change to an actress with poor acting skills, she may only use frowning and glaring or pouting grievances to express her inner surging feelings.

The little tailor left, and she cut her neat short hair, as if she was saying goodbye to her past self, to the mountain that raised her, and to the youth that the three of them met.

The last scene is the scene between He Xin and Chen Kun.

He Xin's current image has changed drastically from when he first arrived two days ago. Her long, supple black hair was cut into what is commonly known as the "toilet seat" hairstyle, which is to be copied on both sides and back, leaving only the top of the head, as if a toilet seat was on the scalp.

A washed and discolored red basketball vest on his upper body, loose black pants, and a pair of torn liberation shoes on his feet, he sat on the steps of the hillside.

The photographer carrying the machine, the recording engineer holding the microphone, was close behind him, and he could even clearly smell the heavy smell of sweat on the foreign photographer with developed body hair.

“Action！”

In the camera, there is only the back of He Xin sitting, Chen Kun slowly walked up the steps step by step with his head down, and when he was about to walk, He Xin just wanted to ask according to the lines: "She is gone?"

I heard Dai Sijie shouting from the megaphone: "Card!"

"Chen Kun, you'd better add a little action when you come up, otherwise it will be too bland. ”

Chen Kun lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Okay, let's do it again." ”

As he spoke, he walked down the stairs again.

"Number two!"

“Action！”

This time, Chen Kun added a movement of picking his fingernails, lowered his head and walked up slowly.

"She's gone?" He Xin asked, sitting down.

Chen Kun stood silent for a while, then raised his feet and stepped up the steps again and said, "That's right, it's all Balzac's fault." ”

"Balzac?" He Xin was puzzled.

"She said that Balzac taught her one thing, that the beauty of a woman is priceless!"

Chen Kun said, stepped over his side and walked out of the camera.

The camera moved slowly, giving He Xin's side face, and the picture only left him looking into the distance lonely......

"Cards!"

Dai Sijie hesitated slightly, and finally shouted: "Pass!"
