Chapter 408: Preparation

The behind-the-scenes lineup of "Qiao's Courtyard" is very strong, such as the three photographers, all of whom are famous photographers who can take charge on their own.

Cui Weidong, the royal photographer directed by Hu Mei, the apprentice of Uncle Li, and the "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" directed by Hu Mei are all in charge of him.

Zhou Bo has been in charge of the TV series "Age of Peace", "Military Confidential", and the movie "Red Lovers".

Jia Yonghua is a little worse, but he is also a master of air politics, his old man is the leader of the new film studio, he used to work beside Grandpa Mao, and he is an old acquaintance with He Xin. Ning Hao often goes to the new film studio**, just through his relationship.

Most of the actors who came to make cameos were actors used by Director Hu Mei, such as the eighth and thirteenth masters in "Yongzheng Dynasty", and Wei Qing in "The Emperor of Han Wu".

The next day, the actors basically arrived, and director Hu Mei borrowed the conference room of the hotel to convene a meeting with everyone, mainly to get to know each other, and then explain the work behind.

There is no doubt that He Xin should be the youngest among all people, but he is the most well-known, and more importantly, he has won the most honors in terms of awards, so everyone dare not underestimate him.

But the more this is the case, the more low-key He Xin becomes.

This is also something that Sister Hong told me before she came, like this kind of drama that was bought out by CCTV before filming started, there are a lot of old drama bones, don't look at them just playing a supporting role, but the relationship between all aspects of the circle is sometimes very scary. Sister Hong is always worried that he can't talk with his brains and is easy to offend people.

Of course, He Xin is not an arrogant person in his bones, on the contrary, he is very polite.

This is not a very low posture as soon as you enter the door.

"Teacher Zhu!"

This is screenwriter Zhu Xiuhai.

"Teacher Cui, Teacher Zhou, you're here too!"

Three photographers.

"Hello, Mr. Lei!"

Facing Lei Gesheng, who played his father-in-law in the play, he was very respectful, and the old man played well.

"Hello two Teacher Wang!"

The eighth master and the thirteenth master are all surnamed Wang.

"Teacher Xu! Teacher Lu!"

This is the second-generation shopkeeper of the Qiao family, and Xu Zhengyun, who plays the shopkeeper of Cao, is an old actor of the West Film Studio.

The guest appearance of Pan Weiyan is Lu Jianming, the actor of Wei Qing in "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", but seeing his smiling face, He Xin can't help but think of "sailor".

In the end, there were only three female generals left sitting next to the director.

"Sister-in-law!"

He walked over and bowed respectfully to the eldest one.

Zhao Lijuan, Concubine Ling Niangniang in "Huanzhu Gege", plays his sister-in-law Cao Yuezhi in the play.

Seeing his style, Zhao Lijuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Yo, Zhiyong is here, let's sit with your two daughters-in-law!"

This thing took advantage of the situation to squeeze around Jiang Qinqin, who was smiling and watching the excitement, and deliberately kept a certain distance from Ma Yili and said: "This is my daughter-in-law, who is the enemy of the enemy!"

Ma Yili met him for the first time today, compared to Jiang Qinqin, who became famous at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and became a girl in her early twenties, Commander Ma became famous relatively late, that is, she was only famous with Ziwei in "Huanzhu Gege 3" two years ago.

She was originally very curious about He Xin, and even a little restrained, but at this time, when she saw his funny look, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it seemed that she had completely subverted the image of those big stars in her mind.

But after all, people can say, "Although it is easy to fall in love, marriage is not easy, and you can do it and cherish it." and "You and I have loved deeply, worked hard, and achieved each other." There is a regret in this situation, but there is no right or wrong. From now on, every life rejoices. This kind of woman with golden sentences has no less emotional intelligence than He Xin's girlfriend with high emotional intelligence.

I saw her grinning, showing her cute little tiger teeth, and said in the kind of voice unique to Shanghai women: "That's right, you are my enemy!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone in the room laughed in unison.

How so?

He Xin is the youngest, the biggest brand, and the highest salary, even if he is very low-key, it is inevitable that some people will say that he is pretentious. However, when he is so funny, others are happy to see him deflated, and at the same time, they will feel a little more comfortable.

Even Director Hu Mei, who has always been very serious, covered her mouth and laughed.

Jiang Qinqin, who was squeezed by him and sat on a stool, was a little embarrassed, blushing and pushing him, "Sit in your own seat." ”

"Hey!"

This product made Jiang Qinqin a little surprised, with the way he just made a comparison, it seemed a bit abnormal not to say a few words to himself, which made Jiang Qinqin a little doubtful of his charm.

Just as she was suffering from gains and losses, He Xin suddenly turned his head to her and smiled: "Sister Qinqin, I haven't seen you for a few months, you are beautiful again!"

Hey?

Jiang Qinqin's newly recovered face instantly floated with two red clouds, and while secretly breathing a sigh of relief, she subconsciously gave him two health balls, bit her lip and said, "Why are you like this, you are getting more and more flamboyant." ”

He Xinzhen wanted to reply to her: How do you know that I have a flammy tongue?

Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about in his heart, and he can't say it on his lips, he doesn't want to be Brother Xiao Ming, it's too greasy!

So he just smiled apologetically, then turned around and stretched out his hand to another beautiful woman who was slightly inferior, but smiled and showed her little tiger teeth, and officially introduced herself: "He Xin, please take care of me!"

"Ma Yili, please take care of Teacher He!"

"Hey, Mr. Ma, you're welcome!"

"Where, Teacher He, it's you who are polite!"

"Teacher Ma, you ......"

Watching the two of them talking and laughing back and forth, Jiang Qinqin didn't know why she suddenly felt a little panicked in her heart. is nearly thirty years old, and of course she will not admit that this is her natural reaction, could it be that she entered the play in advance?

I didn't know that at this moment, Hu Mei was looking at them with small eyes, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.

......

Although the official start-up ceremony of "Qiao's Courtyard" will be held on the day of the second dragon raising its head in the second lunar month, the work of pre-shooting materials has begun.

The reason why director Hu Mei let the actors enter the group in advance, as she said at the meeting, is to let them feel the characters in the shooting environment and find their most accurate positioning of the characters.

He Xin ran to the Qiao family's compound every day during this time.

Qiao's compound is only twelve kilometers away from the county seat, which is very convenient, a matter of one foot on the accelerator. At this time, although the Qiaojia compound was still a tourist attraction, it received only two or three tourists every day, and it was very deserted.

This TV series was originally led by the local government, so the support is not ordinary. Not only can the crew shoot on the spot, but all the staff in Qiao's compound are extras of the crew. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the crew came here for the first time to shoot materials, and the male staff here didn't say a word, they all shaved their heads, and they didn't care about the custom of shaving their heads and killing their uncles in the first month, which made Hu Mei very moved.

In fact, the staff here know very well that the Qiao family's compound has long been exhausted, and the only life-saving straw is this TV series. The TV series became popular, just like "The Red Lantern Hangs High" back then, which made the Qiao family compound an instant hit and known throughout the country. Then it can last here for at least another ten years, and you don't have to worry about being laid off.

He Xin came here on time every morning to report for duty, and occasionally met the crew filming here, he didn't care, Hu Mei didn't pay attention to him, every day was in Qiao Zhiyong's study, after getting married and Lu Yuhan's room, before getting married, he was messing with Sun Maocai in the attic where he was studying.

Sometimes he sits on the roof where Qiao Zhiyong often sits in a daze in the original version, and he is also in a daze, and he sits for most of the day, and every time he can't stand the cold, he comes down.

Occasionally, I would go to the village of Qiaojiabao and listen to the villagers tell stories about Qiao Zhiyong.

When I am in a good mood, I will drive to the ancient city of Pingyao, which is more than 40 kilometers away, to go shopping, because this is also a very important scene for the crew.

He is wandering blindly every day, which makes Jiang Qinqin suffer. Although Jiang Xueying played by Ma Yili is Qiao Zhiyong's childhood sweetheart, except for some sweet interactions between the two in the early stage, there is almost no rivalry. Jiang Xueying hated because of love, and spent almost her whole life fighting against Qiao Zhiyong.

In contrast, Jiang Qinqin and his rivals have a lot of scenes. The director also said at the meeting that the actors should complete the run-in as soon as possible, but now Jiang Qinqin can't even find anyone to say the right words. In desperation, I could only go directly to the door at night and knock on the door.

Of course, there is no such bloody thing as a "glow-in-the-dark script".

Whenever this time, he would always invite Ni Dahong, Zhang Yi, Ma Yong, and the actor who played Jiang Qinqin's maid over, make a pot of good tea, and let Xiao Luzi go to get some fruit snacks, and everyone held a small script reading meeting.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when the second dragon raised its head in February, and early in the morning, everyone lined up to take turns shaving their heads, and then put on braids one by one.

When Hu Mei was filming "Yongzheng Dynasty", the characters in it still wore the traditional braids of the moon head, but this is obviously inconsistent with history.

From the early Qing Dynasty to the Qianlong period, it was the kind of money rat tail. It is to keep only a strand of hair the size of a copper coin at the back of the head, and the braid should be thin enough to pass through the copper coin hole. The round head dragged a thin line, about the size of a mouse.

Then it was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that it slowly evolved into a moon head, but it is not accurate to say that the moon head is the place where the hair is left is the little bit on the back of the head, which accounts for about one-third of the entire head.

Maybe director Hu Mei has realized the mistakes in "Yongzheng Dynasty", or he is just making mistakes for the sake of looking good. When it came to "Qiao's Courtyard", Qiao Zhiyong's experience was at the end of the Qing Dynasty, so all the male actors in the crew, including the extras, were the kind of braids that only left one-third of the hair on the back of their heads.

At the same time, the actress's makeup also has a lot of attention, such as the roles played by Jiang Qinqin and Ma Yili, the combing method of staying in the sea before marriage and after marriage is completely different, and there are even more than a dozen different combing methods for one Liuhai.

He Xin admired Director Hu Mei's rigorous way of working, and for the first time he was glad that he had taken on this play.
