Chapter 432: Damn Experiential
Chapter 432: Damn Experiential
There are not many characters in "Eggplant", except for the extras, including a three-year-old child, there are a total of six actors. The scene is single, and more than 80% of the scenes are concentrated in a high-end apartment.
This high-end apartment is located in Chongqing's "Bund" - a real estate called "Haike Yingzhou" on the Yangtze River Binjiang Road next to Chaotianmen.
Facing the Yangtze River, three high-rise buildings are lined up. This is probably the best location in Chongqing, and it may be equivalent to the "Tomson Yipin" on the edge of the Huangpu River in Shanghai in later generations.
Because the unit price is relatively high, the sales situation is average, and the current occupancy rate is relatively low, it is more suitable for closed shooting. Of course, choosing to shoot here, the developer paid a lot of sponsorship fees, which can be regarded as product placement.
Including the original script in the photo studio girl Momo used a camera to record the people and things around her, and changed it to a mobile phone. Because the mobile phone that focuses on the camera function is also a product placement.
It is said that half of the investment in this drama has been recovered with just two product placements, which makes He Xin very ashamed. You must know that the self-invested "Stone" did not go well in terms of advertising investment, and the original script used to play double reed fraud cans and BMW cars were good product placements, but when negotiating with the brand, it did not go well, and it was a bit of a big store bully.
On the morning of the second day after coming to Chongqing, He Xin met with director Zhang Baibai and several behind-the-scenes creators of the crew, and simply took a few sets of change of clothes and stationed in this real estate.
Although I took this drama for the sake of Hu Jun's face, it was also because the script was good and the characters were also very distinctive. At first, He Xin thought that he was fully capable of controlling the role of security guard. But after carefully studying the script, I found that it was not easy to play this character well.
He reviewed the biography he wrote at the beginning, Liu Fenfen, the security guard in charge of guarding the underground garage, was born in poverty, he may be like himself, his parents died in his early years and he was an orphan, or his relationship with his family was very indifferent, otherwise he would not have given up his life easily in the end.
He may have not graduated from junior high school, dropped out of school at the age of fifteen or sixteen to work in a big city, and he must have done a lot of miscellaneous work, such as a construction site worker, a restaurant waiter, etc., and finally came to this real estate as a security guard.
In the long years of part-time work, there is no doubt that I am used to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have told Momo that they are them, and we are us.
The experience of working part-time has made him develop a realistic personality, he has to talk about money in everything he does, and he is willing to take risks for money.
He took over this drama since the beginning of the year, but he was filming "Qiao's Courtyard" for five months in the middle, and then he was busy promoting "Seven Swords" for more than half a month, and in the end, the time left to prepare for this drama was less than two weeks, which was still due to the start of the prevarication.
If it really starts around August 10 as originally scheduled, he may not even have time to prepare. How to interpret the character of Liu Zhan at that time, he really doesn't dare to think about it now.
Of course, it doesn't mean that he can't act well, it may be that he is bland, not up or down, no look, more than 70 points, at most a superficial and face-painted character.
In the past few days, whenever he picked up the script, he always felt that a very simple security guard seemed to be covered with a veil, so that he could vaguely and never see clearly.
Especially in the end, he put a dry rose and the two wades of money he had taken from Chiba in the bank safe, and he didn't use any of them to put them neatly, and finally handed the key to the safe to Chiba along with the password. He never understood that.
Just last night, he went through the script again from beginning to end. The four main characters in the script, Zheng Zheng, Qian Yu, Liu Struggle, and Liang Xiaoxia, always revolve around two things in the intricate relationship between the four of them - love and money.
The other three people left him alone for the time being, the most important thing is that Liu Zhan has always been faced with the choice of love and money.
Driven by curiosity, he became more and more obsessed with love, but he knew the reality and knew that the life of high society could not belong to him. Leaning against the high wall, I salute the rose hostess Qianyu in the glass flower room on the roof, and I feel as if I am admiring the fairy.
Originally, it didn't matter whether it was right or wrong this time, but because he regarded right and wrong as an opportunity, he exchanged bargaining chips with Qianyu again and again: from money, to a cup of coffee made by Qianyu himself, to peeping at the hostess's body, to the desire to possess. Step by step, like a poor person who sucks the cause of corn, he is more and more addicted to it, but he feels the emotional crisis more and more involuntarily every time.
But in the end, he still chose to carry all the black cauldrons and put the key in Qianyu's hands. At this moment, he trusted her again. In fact, maybe it's not just trust, but also wanting to express your love at the end.
In this society, in the eyes of the wealthy and wealthy in the upper class, too many people at the bottom who are financially poor are accustomed to using money to measure their worth. Despite the money given by Qianyu, he didn't move a cent. There was no greed for the pleasure of spending money because of the desire for profit, on the contrary, he put the money and a rose he asked for from Qian Yu every time in the safe deposit box of the bank, because he couldn't spend it with peace of mind? No, money was not of much use to him.
He is just blindly, blindly chasing the love in his heart, but in addition to selling his soul to make a deal, he doesn't know how to seize the opportunity to contact Qianyu in high society. So every time he got the money, he counted it one by one, and he had to watch Qianyu count it.
Qianyu said that what she hated the most was Liu Zhan's face of counting money, and she never took this money to heart, and she would not miss him. She wanted to leave several times, but Liu Zhanzhan insisted that she watch herself count the money. In fact, Liu Zhanzhan was not afraid that Qianyu would give him less money, but wanted to watch Qianyu for a while and stay with Qianyu for a while.
In his eyes, Qianyu will only walk down from the high glass house when he needs to conspire with someone to carry out the next plan, and he will have the opportunity to have an intimate contact with the lady he has loved for a long time, and even get non-divisive satisfaction.
He Xin always felt that Liu Zhan was a very poignant character. He is curious about the life of the upper class, and this curiosity also makes him have a tightrope-like crush game for the noble lady of the upper class - Qianyu, and the Qianyu in his heart is usually the goddess of the rose in the high glass flower room, and he can't realize the love in his heart because of the disparity in status and the responsibilities of his work, so he has to use the most despised and disdainful way by the upper class society to fight for the only opportunity, deal with Qianyu, and take the opportunity to get close.
He increased the number of transactions again and again, in fact, he didn't really want to take advantage of the fire to make a profit, he just wanted to stay with the goddess in front of him who was far from his own life for a while. Or deliberately embarrass Qianyu once, and applying to him for help can satisfy the vanity of being a man, or even just want the upper class to bow his head in front of him once and get instant respect.
In this way, it seems that He Xin has understood the character of Liu Fenfen in the script thoroughly enough, but it is one thing to understand the character, and it is another thing to let yourself be substituted into this character and let yourself believe in this character.
The character of Liu Struggle lives an extremely depressed life, and in the end he will easily give up his life. And whether he is himself in his previous life, or the original He Xin who has merged with him, the only thing they actually have in common is probably that they are optimistic and positive in their bones.
In his previous life, he was still in love before he died, but Hara He Shin has been working hard to return to his father's hometown.
It is precisely because of this that he realized that what he lacks most at the moment is the fit for the role.
There is only one way to make up for this shortcoming: experience life!
Just like when he first filmed "Conquest", the only way to understand a character you don't know is to go deep into his usual work and life. In the process, wipe yourself clean and change to another identity.
Although the time was very tight, when it came to August 25, the day the crew started filming, He Xin was wearing a security guard and was already standing in front of the apartment building very skillfully to direct the traffic.
......
In the circle, the area with the most actors is undoubtedly my Great Northeast. And in this large group of actors from my Great Northeast, there is a specific place, and it must be the largest number of people from Harbin. So much so that He Xin can meet fellow villagers everywhere, and he is the closest kind.
For example, today he met a fellow villager from Harbin.
Song Jia, the same age as him, just a few months younger than him, just graduated from the drama last year, and filmed several TV series during school, basically either playing tricks or supporting roles.
He Xin met her for the first time in his last life after watching "Breaking through the Guandong", and he felt that this girl was very sassy at that time! Jiang Dayan in "The Big Girl Is Hard to Marry" later made him know the image of a very free and easy Beijing girl.
Of course, what impressed him the most was the amorous Lin Hui in "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind". Perhaps because of his age, he was in his early forties at the time, and he especially liked this kind of charm with a light and familiar style.
