Chapter 206: It turns out that I have been in love with him for a long time
"Director, get ready. Huang Yuetai shouted.
Although Lao Huang is the producer and takes charge of the photography and lighting, he will give full respect to the rookie director on the scene, and will not call him by his name, but call the director seriously.
The little brother under the lighting boss Zhou Lin worked very quickly, and it didn't take much effort to pull out a wire from the house, and an incandescent lamp was installed in the doorway. Orange lights illuminate the dark aisles all at once, adding a touch of warmth to this gloomy winter afternoon.
Li Miaoxue turned on the portable monitor and pressed the walkie-talkie in her hand: "Everyone prepare!"
The intercom came one after another:
"Photography OK!"
"Radio OK!"
"Lights OK!"
He Xin and Cheng Hao were already in place at this time, and the assistant director Chen Weiqiang was pinching the walkie-talkie and waiting for their reply.
Cheng Hao has not made a movie for almost five years since he filmed "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" during the summer vacation of his freshman year, although he only made a cameo at this time and showed a small face in front of the camera, but I don't know why, there is an inexplicable tension in my heart, and my expression has become a little stiff.
He Xin obviously noticed the change in his girlfriend's mood, and after a little groaning, he said to her: "Don't laugh when you shoot for a while!"
"Huh?" Cheng Hao was stunned.
"Don't forget, you're a heartthrob, if you laugh in front of the camera, won't you steal the limelight from the heroine!" said with a grin.
Cheng Hao reacted at this time, and couldn't help but roll his eyes at his boyfriend, and said angrily: "It's almost time to start filming, you haven't taken it seriously." ”
As he spoke, he took a deep breath.
Not to mention, she was interrupted by her boyfriend just now, her original nervous psychology actually relaxed a lot, and when she looked up again, she saw that her boyfriend's eyes were looking at her brightly, obviously his joke just now was to help her relieve her nervousness, her expression suddenly relaxed, and she nodded at him.
He Xin smiled, and then gave a thumbs up to the assistant director Chen Weiqiang who was waiting on the side.
Chen Weiqiang received the signal and hurriedly shouted into the walkie-talkie: "The actor is ready OK!"
"Okay, Action!"
He Xin stood at the door of the small bungalow and chatted with Cheng Hao in the house.
In fact, the camera was not aimed at them at first, Huang Yuetai squatted on the ground with the camera, the camera was slightly upward, and next to the picture was He Xin's bicycle sprayed with green paint and bags hanging on both sides of the schoolbag rack.
At this time, I saw Lin Jiaxin riding a women's bicycle, coming from a distance, and saw He Xin's bicycle parked at the gate of the small courtyard, braked and got off the car, and then pushed the car to look at the courtyard, until it was almost in front of the camera before stopping.
Huang Yuetai slowly stood up with the camera, his hands were very steady, and the picture did not shake at all. As a senior boss in the photography industry in the Hong Kong film industry, Huang Yuetai has always been known for his steady hands, and when he was filming the "Once Upon a Time" series, Tsui Hark also nicknamed him "Iron Hand", which means that he is particularly stable in shooting with a hand-held lens, and he is simply a "human Steadicam".
The camera slowly turned to the small courtyard with Lin Jiaxin's gaze, the close-up view is Lin Jiaxin's side face, and the distant view is the picture of He Xinti with a mail bag on his shoulder, his hand in his coat pocket, and Cheng Hao in the house.
"That's great, then I'll go first. ”
"Hey, you'll be waiting a minute. Cheng Hao said and turned around and entered the house.
The camera advances slowly, in the middle ground.
I saw Cheng Hao take out a hand-woven scarf from the house, and said shyly: "What do you think of this scarf?"
"It's good!" He Xin said casually.
"Then I'll send it to you!" Cheng Hao took a step forward and handed him the scarf with both hands.
He Xin's hand was still in his pocket, and he grinned, "What are you doing?"
"You wear it when you deliver the letter!" Cheng Hao held the scarf and handed it to him again.
"Don't, you can keep it for yourself!"
"Oops......" Cheng Hao was a little unhappy.
He Xin still happily excused himself and said, "Okay, you're welcome, I'm leaving." ”
As he spoke, he didn't look at the other party's face, turned around and left.
The camera was given to Cheng Hao, only to see her pursing her lips and looking at He Xin's back dissatisfied, but she inadvertently saw the Hong Kong woman who was looking at the gate of the courtyard at this time, her face suddenly sank, she turned into the house, and closed the door heavily.
And He Xin still had a smile on his face, just as Cheng Hao turned around and entered the house, he looked up and saw Lin Jiaxin who was unhappy at the gate of the courtyard, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
“Cut!”
Li Miaoxue picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, and said in her mouth: "Okay, very good, this is over! In addition, Jiaxin is ready, we have to make up a shot." ”
This shot is Lin Jiaxin looking into the yard and being jealous when she saw Cheng Hao giving He Xin a scarf, and then when He Xin turned around and saw her, she got angry and rode on the car and ran away.
"Is this over?" Cheng Hao was obviously still a little unsatisfied.
"Then why don't I tell the director, let's keep another one. ”
"Forget it, forget it......"
Cheng Hao hurriedly waved his hand, but when he looked up, he saw his boyfriend's smiling eyes, and suddenly secretly twisted his waist in shame, and said coquettishly: "You know that you are bullying me!"
He Xin hurriedly shouted: "How dare I bully you, one sentence shows that you acted well!"
"I have a few pounds and a few taels myself, and I know it myself. ”
Cheng Hao said angrily, looking at Huang Yuetai holding the huge film camera and changing positions, while looking envious, he couldn't help but sigh leisurely: "I don't know when I can make movies again." ”
"There will definitely be a chance. He Xin hurriedly comforted.
In fact, when he thought about it carefully, he had the impression that except for the star-studded "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", in which Cheng Hao played the role of Fu Dongju, who played a relatively heavy role, he couldn't remember what other movies she had acted in.
Seeing that his girlfriend was still sentimental, when he was about to leave, he quickly grabbed her and said, "Hey, don't go, let's play Sister Jiaxin!"
As he spoke, he shouted to Lin Jiaxin, who had just walked to the gate of the courtyard with a bicycle and started to prepare: "Sister Jiaxin, I'll help you play!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Lin Jiaxin said thank you to Cheng Hao with a spring breeze, but when her eyes swept to He Xin, who was smiling at her, her face suddenly sank, she snorted coldly, and turned her head to the side arrogantly, directly ignoring this product.
Not to mention, her mood is just right, she was originally half-true and half-fake angry, which is very suitable for the state of the characters in the play, not only the scene is also a pass, but even the two-person bicycle chase scene was filmed in less than half a day.
You must know that when He Xin filmed "Bicycle" for the first time, the bicycle chase scene in the alley took three days to shoot.
may be that this cameo experience made Cheng Hao have a good relationship with Lin Jiaxin and Li Miaoxue, and she found that everyone didn't mean to be cold to her at first, but they were just unfamiliar. And she also found that although Lin Jiaxin has the halo of a big star in Hong Kong and Taiwan, she is actually very simple, very cheerful, and very easy to get along with.
So the number of times he came to the crew gradually began to increase. On the one hand, she is really bored to stay at home, and she has to face Cheng's mother's nagging, which is a bit unbearable; on the other hand, I have to say that she is still a girl who loves to learn, and every time she goes to the crew to watch her boyfriend or Lin Jiaxin's performance, she often writes down two strokes in a small notebook.
It should be said that the biggest difference between filming a movie and filming a TV series is that in addition to the requirements for actors' performances and the different ways of shooting, it is also reflected in the lines.
TV series often need a lot of lines to promote the development of the plot, and sometimes even use narration to explain the psychological changes of the characters, which is relatively simple. In contrast, the lines of the movie are much less, and more are expressed through the language of the camera, or through the artistic conception of the picture.
For example, on this day, the crew transferred to the zoo to shoot a scene where He Xin and Lin Jiaxin went to the park. In order to shoot this scene, Li Miaoxue specially chose a cloudy day, because in the development of the plot, this scene is a turning point in the feelings of the characters in the play.
Lin Jiaxin's Man'er and He Xin's postman Xiaolie get along very happily in the process of finding the scenery in the painting, and the two young people are getting closer and closer.
However, Man'er never forgot her deceased boyfriend, and saw a running child in the park, as if she saw her boyfriend in Qingdao when she was a child, and she chose to retreat in the face of Xiao Lie's sincere and simple feelings for herself.
Zhang Shuping is very particular about the art design of this scene, and he requires that there must be a touch of red in every picture. On the one hand, from a visual point of view, in this generally gray background, a touch of red will make the whole picture lively and monotonous.
At the same time, more importantly, a bright red hints at hope, as a way to dilute the overall melancholy style of the scene, because the theme of the film is not a tragedy in the first place, but romance and pure beauty.
For this reason, several of the extras were specially asked to wear a big red down jacket, ensuring that in each shot, one person would appear at the edge of the frame.
And when shooting, "Iron Hand" Huang Yuetai rarely uses a track or tripod, and more uses a shoulder or hand to support the machine to capture the dynamics of the characters.
Cheng Hao also came to watch today, she has read the script and knows the plot of the play very well, there is a premise in this scene that Man'er cuts Xiao Lie's hair, because Xiao Lie's long hair is very similar to the hair of her deceased boyfriend, and she used to cut her boyfriend's hair like this.
It's just that when cleaning up the broken hair, a small hair accidentally fell into Xiao Lie's eyes. Man'er helped him blow his eyes, but Xiao Lie's eyes were peeking at Man'er's fierceness, and the scene was a little embarrassing.
Xiao Lie used the way of inviting Man'er to visit the park to test whether Man'er was angry? Can the two get along like before? Man'er came, and Xiao Lie was very happy.
It's just that when Cheng Hao saw his boyfriend looking happy and shy, walking around the birdcage in front of the camera with Lin Jiaxin, talking and talking, his first reaction was that he felt very familiar.
And then when he saw He Xinxin holding two ice creams in his hand, standing there anxiously looking for Man'er, Cheng Hao suddenly realized why he felt familiar just now, and when he watched his boyfriend play against Lin Jiaxin before, his performance would always give her a natural and energetic feeling.
Originally, she was still surprised that her boyfriend's acting skills had improved so fast, and it was difficult to find traces of acting. At this time, Cheng Hao suddenly realized that He Xin was not playing himself in the past!
This situation reminded her of the time when she was still in school in Chinese opera, every time she was late for commercials, when she returned to school, she would always see a long-haired young man holding a thermos lunch box waiting at the door of the student apartment.
Whenever I see myself for the first time, I always smile heartily, and then I run to myself and stuff the lunch box into my hand.
The lunch box may be braised lamb, it may be sweet and sour pork ribs, or it may be still steaming dumplings or small wontons, anyway, they are all my favorite food.
Maybe she didn't feel anything at the time, or maybe even if she did, it was an understatement in her mind. Maybe I didn't think about it at first, maybe there were too many boys who pursued me, and I got used to the feeling that preferential treatment was what it should be.
Cheng Hao sometimes wonders, when did he get along with He Xin?
It's really hard to articulate this question.
Maybe the other party's persistence touched him, or maybe it was the scene in his apartment in Shanghai where he finally pierced the layer of window paper between the two, or maybe it was the night he surprised himself in Tokyo.
However, at this time, she realized that she had always had this person in her heart, but she didn't know it. Love is not necessarily as vigorous as you first imagined, sometimes it is really just plain, and subtly, you will suddenly find that you have already fallen into the love network carefully woven by others.
"Cut! good, very good!" Li Miaoxue's excited voice came from the scene.
Cheng Hao reacted at this time, this scene has been filmed.
Lin Jiaxin, who had been exuding a faint melancholy temperament in the play before, ran over with a smile at this time.
"Okay, work will be stopped in the afternoon, I have made an appointment with Sister Su Jin to go shopping, okay?"
Cheng Hao glanced at her boyfriend, who was still communicating with Huang Yuetai over there, and said with an embarrassed face: "Sister Jiaxin is really embarrassed, there is something to do at home in the afternoon, I'm afraid I don't have time!"
"Well, we wanted to ask you to be a guide!"
Lin Jiaxin looked regretful, but immediately smiled and said, "But it's okay, let's find someone else." ”
After He Xin finished chatting with Huang Yuetai about some details in the shooting, Cheng Hao was saying goodbye to Lin Jiaxin when he came over: "I'm sorry, Sister Jiaxin!"
"It's okay, bye!" Lin Jiaxin said with a big grin, and at the same time waved his hand at He Xin, who came over.
"Well, Sister Jiaxin, bye!"
Looking at the back of Lin Jiaxin and her assistant going away, He Xin said to his girlfriend with some confusion: "Just now Sister Jiaxin told me that she was going to ask you to go shopping in the afternoon, didn't you go?"
Cheng Hao shook his head, walked to his side and silently held his arm.
He Xin felt that his girlfriend's mood seemed to be a little low, patted her hand holding his arm, lowered his head and asked softly, "What's wrong, what's the matter with you being unhappy again?"
Cheng Hao shook his head again, looked up at his boyfriend's concerned expression, bit his lower lip, then leaned his head on his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "It's rare for you to have half a day off, I want to accompany you." ”
Hey?
He Xin was stunned at first, a little unable to believe his ears, he was stunned for about a second or two, the expression on his face instantly turned into ecstasy, he hugged his girlfriend's increasingly plump waist, and said excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for?
Cheng Hao was disorganized by his fast steps, and hurriedly said, "Hey, you slow down! Why don't you say hello to the director and producer Huang?"
He Xin looked impatient and said, "Don't fight, Sister Jiaxin is gone anyway." ”
The guy hurried out of the gate of the zoo with his girlfriend, beckoned to stop a taxi on the side of the road, got in the car and said, "Master, go to Huiquan Dynasty!"
"Hey, don't go anywhere!" Cheng Hao said busily.
Only then did this thing react, hehe smiled and scratched the scalp that had just taken off the hood and was a little itchy, and said, "If you don't remind me, I forgot." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly said to the driver: "Master, go to Shangri-La!"
Ooh!
One moment Huiquan Dynasty, one moment Shangri-La, rich people!
At the same time as the driver put up gear, he also secretly glanced behind him in the rearview mirror, the woman is beautiful! The man, uh, how can he look like a postman.
However, when the man's eyes met him in the rearview mirror, the driver hurriedly showed a smile of "everyone understands", stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away in the direction of Hong Kong Central Road, by the sea.
