Gulangyu Island, an old western-style house.

This is the filming location of "Taipei Wang's Family" carefully selected by the crew, and almost one-third of the scenes were filmed here during the entire love process between Chen Qiushui and Wang Biyun.

As early as a month before the crew transferred over, the crew's scenery and art began to be arranged here, and the furnishings and greening inside and outside the house, including furniture, daily utensils, etc., were truly restored to the style of the 40s of the last century.

The small living room on the second floor is elegantly furnished with lush greenery.

It was a beautiful day, and the sun was shining through the door at ten o'clock in the morning, and there was no need for extra light.

He Xinhe, dressed in a navy blue student uniform, and Zhu Yin, who was dressed in a beige printed cheongsam, sat facing each other, with a black coffee table in modern British style in the middle, on which were placed the tea sea of Huanghuali and the tea set of Yixing purple sand.

This scene is the first time that Chen Qiushui, played by He Xin, came to Wang's house to interview for a tutor.

Shots like this of two dialogues are usually two cameras, one panorama and one close-up.

“Action！”

"Where are the people in the house?"

Zhu Yin asked politely and enthusiastically while skillfully making tea.

"Oh, Yunlin Xiluo, it's on the bank of the Muddy Water Stream. ”

He Xin was sitting precariously, looking slightly cramped. And because he had a lot of tanning in Tibetan Province before, today the makeup artist deliberately put a thin layer of powder on his face, which looks a lot whiter.

Chen Qiushui, played by him, was a student of the medical department of National Taiwan University at this time, and came to apply for the English teacher of Wang Yumeng, the youngest son of the Wang family.

"The rice in the muddy water stream is very famous! But it is really not easy to get into medicine from the countryside. Zhu Yin sighed, and then said very sincerely.

Judging from her mannerisms and conversations, she is undoubtedly a very cultured and enthusiastic hostess.

She poured He Xin a cup of tea, put it in front of him, and asked casually, "Is the family okay?"

In the camera, He Xin's bare feet subconsciously shrank back in the borrowed leather shoes, paused slightly, and then said with a slightly bitter expression: "My father used to run a rice mill, and he was quite rich. After his death, several uncles broke up, and the family situation was not very good......"

As he spoke, he looked up at Zhu Yin, his eyes were clear, and his tone was sincere: "So, I want to do more things in my spare time!"

Zhu Yin smiled, and it could be seen that she liked the elegant and not arrogant young man in front of her.

Switching the camera, I saw a fair-skinned, well-maintained hand, wearing an emerald ring on his finger and a gold and jade bracelet on his wrist, gently pushing an envelope placed on the shore of the tea sea.

"I like young people with ambitions!"

The camera moved up, He Xin suddenly raised his eyebrows, and nodded his head at the other party in surprise.

"Ka! very good!"

Yin Lile shouted to stop, and then said in a consultative tone: "Teacher Zhu, Xiaohe, let's keep one more?"

Of course, He Xin has no problem, when he cooperated in Tibetan Province before, he knew that Yin Li was a very strict director. Even if your performance reaches 90 points, he still wonders if he can go higher.

Zhu Yin, who cooperated for the first time, pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course there is no problem." ”

Saying that, she also smiled: "I'm really a little nervous, for fear that I won't be able to catch Xiaohe's play." ”

"Where, where, Mr. Zhu, it should be that I am afraid that I will not be able to catch your play. He Xin hurriedly waved his hand.

Compared with Qin Khan's silence and unsmiling, this veteran actor of Shanghai Film Studio has a very cheerful personality, which is easy to make people feel close.

In fact, He Xin also admires post-50s actresses like Zhu Yin, embarrassing mother Huang Meiying, Pan Hong and other natives who came out of Shanghai Film Studio, they were all big beauties when they were young, and they are still elegant when they are old.

He now somewhat agrees with Ning Hao's statement, that is, only these actors in Shanghai and Hong Kong have distinct symbols of urbanization, and many actors in Hong Kong originally came from Shanghai, or their ancestral home is Shanghainese.

In later generations, there was a hit drama called "The First Half of My Life", in which the northern actress who played Luo Zijun's mother was once considered to be very good. He Xin now recalls that this actress may indeed be good in terms of technique, but to say that she is really playing an old lady in Shanghai?

At this time, Zhu Yin was polite, He Xin cheered, everyone boasted about each other's business, and happily came again.

The filming on the first day was generally quite smooth, including the afternoon and the rivalry with Wang Yumeng, who played Wang Biyun's younger brother, and the performance of this twelve-year-old young actor from Wanwan surprised He Xin. Later, when I inquired, I found out that he was an old actor, and he had already begun to perform stage plays when he was seven or eight years old.

It's just that the next day is a little unpleasant, although the newcomer Zhang Zhiheng of Yinghuang works very hard, and his lines are very smooth, but after all, he is a newcomer, and he has not undergone any serious acting training, and his performance is always very exaggerated, not to mention distracted, not only He Xin, who played against him, felt very tired, Yin Li also said that he was very hurt, why are the actors sent by Yinghuang unreliable?

What's even more depressing is that this Zhang Zhiheng has a very good attitude, and he always apologizes sincerely to everyone every time, but the more you tell him, the more nervous he becomes, and the more nervous he is, the more unbearable the performance becomes. Especially in the end, seeing that he looked sincerely frightened, even Yin Li was embarrassed to talk about him anymore.

In desperation, when he was filmed, it was either a long shot or a big close-up, and he could only avoid the lack of acting skills in terms of technology. In this way, his face may be more eye-catching, but the presence of the character he plays will undoubtedly be greatly weakened. For a newcomer, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky.

Therefore, the reason why an actor is called an actor, you have to have acting skills, just as a scientist is called a scientist, you have to understand science, and the reason why an engineer is called an engineer, you have to understand technology, this is a reason.

If an actor doesn't have acting skills, he hypes up some hard work, knows how to be polite or something, he picks up feces on a hot day at every turn, hangs Weiya and almost suffers from heat stroke, filming rain scenes for seven days and seven nights in a row, etc., his eyes are inflamed, his lips are broken and he still insists, etc., these are all useless, acting skills are a hard indicator.

The filming stumbles lasted for a week, and finally ushered in the heroine Xu Youxuan, who had just finished filming the TV series "Don't Love Me" with Hu Ge, so she rushed to meet the crew.

He Xin had a lot of rivalry with her, and after seeing her touching acting skills in Tibetan Province, He Xin was very apprehensive and fully prepared, but he didn't expect the first scene to give him and the director Yin Li, who was also bottomless, a small surprise.

In the end, she is used to acting in love idol dramas, the first scene where she and He Xin met for the first time and passed by on the stairs, although her gestures were a little contrived, but her smile was full of girlishness, and in Yin Li's mind, she would definitely be able to reach more than sixty-five points that surprised him.

Actors are like that sometimes, once you get into the groove, the more you get into it. Xu Youxuan may have a lot of deficiencies in terms of technique, but one advantage is that she is good at substituting herself into the characters, even if there are some flaws in her acting skills, but at least the feelings are real. This is important because it can not only greatly disguise her lack of acting skills, but also impress people.

Probably every time it is Zhang Zhiheng's turn to play a scene, he always stumbles, and the filming work is surprisingly smooth. By mid-December, the crew ended all the scenes in Gulangyu and transferred to an ancient village called Changjiao in Nanjing, Zhangzhou. In the film, He Xin's hometown, Yunlin Xiluo on the bank of Turbid Water Creek, was filmed there.

However, He Xin had to ask the crew for a week off again, because "Wuji" was about to premiere.

The world premiere of "Boundless" is scheduled for December 15. He Xin's current schedule for the publicity period is very tight. For example, at noon on the 12th, he was going to be interviewed by Zalang Entertainment, and then attended the premiere held in the CPPCC auditorium as one of the leading actors in the evening. On the morning of the 13th, there was a press conference, and in the afternoon and evening, I went to Beijing to participate in the screening activities, on the 14th and 15th, in Hong Kong, on the 16th, in Shanghai, on the 17th, in Guangzhou.

Because He Xin had a tight schedule and participated in the filming of a national key film project, the publicity schedule was compressed to one week, not like the premiere of "Seven Swords", which ran all over the country for more than half a month.

In fact, since the promotion meeting held at the Cannes Film Festival on May 12, "Wu Ji" has launched the publicity mode. Newspapers and the Internet can read the news about "Wu Ji" every once in a while.

For example, "Wu Ji" signed up for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, "Wu Ji" film adaptor Luo Hua Guo Xiaosi, Chen Hong's new book "Boundless" tells the story behind "Wu Ji", and so on.

Of course, it is indispensable to deliberately touch the porcelain national teacher, such as "Who is better in ""Wuji" and "Thousands of Miles to Ride Alone", and the two heroes will be better at the box office at the end of the year".

When He Xin saw this kind of title, he couldn't help but shake his head. "Wuji" and "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" are commercial films and literary films, but they are not comparable in terms of box office, let alone the difference in investment is 108,000 miles. deliberately touched the porcelain national teacher, and insisted on putting the two films together to compare the box office, isn't this a hooligan!

It is said that the crew spent tens of millions of dollars at that time, not only renting the most prestigious castle by the Cannes as the promotion venue, posters were plastered all over the castle, and a long red carpet greeted visitors from all over the world. In addition, more than 1,000 kilograms of costumes and props were airlifted from the air, and the staff were dressed in the costumes of the Red Army and the White Army to welcome the guests, which shocked all the guests in momentum. The scene was grander than the premiere of a Hollywood blockbuster.

Originally, the crew also specially invited the major leading actors in the film to attend together. Think it's the Cannes Film Festival, and it's so big, inviting the world's most famous filmmakers, top studios, and even Hollywood celebrities. Zhang Baiju, Xie Qiwang, as well as Zhang Dongjian, Sanada Hiroyuki and others are of course eager to follow.

But only He Xin, who was filming "Qiao's Courtyard" in Shanxi at the time, couldn't leave, so he could only apologize.

At that time, his idea was very simple, he had been to Cannes twice, which was not new for a long time, and the contract he signed with the crew did not have to participate in the promotion meeting, but only indicated that he had to cooperate with the promotion during the premiere.

So he had every reason to refuse, although Sister Hong still persuaded him to come at that time.

The absence of this goods is said to have made Chen Dadao very dissatisfied. It's very simple, don't look at the coffee position of this product, which is the lowest among the six leading actors of "Wu Ji", and the salary is also the lowest. But when it comes to Cannes, the popularity of this product is more than that of all actors, and it is estimated that it is second only to Chen Dadao, who was once the winner of the Palme d'Or.

No way, it may be a good opportunity to show up in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of this guy, it is not the same thing at all. Chen Dadao was very helpless, since he didn't give face to his wife, Chen Dadao himself was hindered by his identity, and he personally issued an invitation, and it was inconvenient to be as knowledgeable as this guy, so he just made a note in the small notebook secretly.
