Chapter 181: When You're Old
After the start-up ceremony, Director Zhou called everyone to have a meeting, and when the meeting ended, it was already more than eleven o'clock.
"Let's have a big meal together later, and I'll tell you okay, there is only one big meal today, and everyone will eat a boxed lunch together in the future, and you can decide what you want to eat." Director Zhou said with a smile.
Director Zhou is usually very talkative, and everyone is relatively familiar with each other in the company, so when he heard this, he was no longer polite, and directly took a taxi to a nearby seafood hotel and killed him.
Fortunately, everyone is still a little measured, did not dare to order too expensive seafood, are some local characteristics of southern Jiangsu, more than a dozen people can not spend too much money, although the funds are small, always not even a better meal can not afford to eat.
Eat seafood, Sika likes.
It followed Han Ning, rubbing her from time to time, and she could get a piece of delicious meat, and she was happy to eat.
The rest of the people are still more reserved, eating seafood is not like eating other dishes, shelling and other operations are more troublesome, everyone takes care of the food appearance, while chatting, in the end they don't eat much, or Sika eats the happiest.
If you don't listen to what is happening at the table, you will be done eating.
After finishing the meal, Director Zhou went to check out, and when he came back, he saw that everyone was almost rested, so he greeted: "Okay, the meal is also over, go back to work, and strive to finish the film in three weeks!"
"Director Zhou, don't worry!"
Everyone responded happily and left the hotel together.
Sika ate so much that she didn't want to move, so she obediently lay in Han Ning's arms, when she had just eaten, Han Ning ate the least, and half of the peeled seafood was eaten by Sika, and she just ate some symbolically and chatted with everyone.
Han Ning has a pretty good relationship with the people in the crew, everyone likes this hard-working girl very much, and some old-timers take good care of her.
When I returned to the crew, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, Director Zhou was not idle, and asked the staff to prepare, while Han Ning and the others went to the props team and makeup team to do the styling in the play.
officially started work, and the people around him were busy all of a sudden, Sika was the most idle, and his little belly was still a little full, so he lay on the chair by himself and watched the makeup girl help Han Ning do the styling.
The difficulty of the first scene of shooting is usually not high, and if you pass the camera smoothly, it is also a good sign, no director will specifically pick the most difficult scene to shoot in the first scene, there are too many NGs, not to mention the actors themselves, and even the director's confidence will be greatly hit.
The makeup girl is not very experienced, the funds are not enough, and the level of the makeup artist she found is naturally not too high, but fortunately, the shape of the characters is relatively simple, and Han Ning also cooperated with the short shoulder-length haircut.
Qianxue is a college student who is about to graduate, and Han Ning is only twenty-four years old this year, so it is easy to put on makeup to look like a young college student.
The first scene is the scene of Qianxue doing an interview drill in front of the mirror, and only Han Ning and Sika appear.
By the way, Sika also needs to wear makeup.
Sika was lazily watching everyone busy, when an animal makeup artist walked over to it, a girl about twenty years old, animal makeup artist is a new profession, and the practitioners are generally not very old.
Sika looked at her suspiciously, what was this for.
"Cat, you're good, I'll put on your makeup. ”
The makeup artist touched Sika and brought him a small snack.
It turned out to be makeup.
Sika ate a snack to herself and let the makeup artist tinker with it.
In this scene, Zhuli is already a very old cat, after the cat gets older, the most obvious coat color luster disappears, and the coat color of some cats will slowly become lighter, just like humans will grow white hair.
There are often tear stains in the corners of the eyes, the pupils become cloudy, the movement becomes sluggish, and the soft little flesh pads on the feet become rough.
They spend most of the day sleeping, no longer like to lick their fur and grind their paws, no longer like kittens, no longer curious, become quiet and calm, and usually stay silently by their owners' side to sleep.
The kitten, who used to be curious about the world, now just wants to be with its owner in the last moments of his life.
Sika is a white cat, the color doesn't need to turn white anymore, the young lady who makes up doesn't know what way to use, after a lot of tinkering, Sika's original soft and shiny hair, now looks dull, and no longer fluffy, as if it has lost its vitality, showing its old state.
She gently turned Sika's head, using her makeup pen to trace a few faint tear streaks near the corners of its eyes.
The rest of the details are basically in place, but Sika's eyes are too bright, and the cat can't bring contact lenses.
"Cat, your eyes are so good. ”
The makeup artist lady held Sika's big face, and looked at its eyes seriously for a long time, she has put makeup on many cats, only Sika's eyes are the most charming, like a deep starry sky.
If she wanted to make such a pair of beautiful eyes an aging effect, she couldn't bear it, so she got up and asked Director Zhou.
I don't know what she talked to Director Zhou, Director Zhou came over to see Sika's makeup effect, and he was still very satisfied, he squatted down and looked at Sika's eyes.
After a while, he said, "That's it, that's it." ”
The eyes are the windows of the soul, and the bamboo is a cat with rich emotions in the heart, and the aging of the body and the clarity of the eyes have a strong sense of contrast.
A large part of this film is Takeri's inner monologue, and if you can cut through some close-ups of the eyes, the effect of the film will be more moving.
Director Zhou has already expressed her satisfaction, and the makeup artist sister will no longer age her eyes, she touched Sika, and gave it some snacks, and then packed up her things and left the makeup team.
Sika didn't know what she was looking like, she jumped out of her chair to an empty dressing table, jumped on the table with a large mirror on it, and saw herself.
The big white cat in the mirror, its fur has lost its luster and vitality, and there are shallow tear stains hanging from the corners of its eyes.
Sika slowed down his movements, followed the cat's hobbling steps, and quietly looked at himself in the mirror, without tilting his head in curiosity, nor leaning up to look, just looking at it quietly, like wood carved by time.
Is this what I look like when I get older......
"Meow ......"
Sika meowed softly, and it slowed down and lengthened the voice, and in an instant, the old feeling came out.
Although it still looks clean and white, it is really old, without the vitality of its youth, and there is no curiosity about the world in its big eyes, only an indescribable calmness.
Many animals have a premonition of their own death, and this peace is like waiting for that day to come.
In the mirror, behind Sika, Qianxue slowly walked over.
As usual, she gently stroked its fur......
"Takeri. ”
