Xu Wangqiu thought that the main people who liked pandas were young people, children, and girls, but he didn't expect that Sanguo Liantaro would also react in this way, and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Sanguo, I didn't expect you to like pandas so much!"

Sankuni Rentaro looked taken for granted: "Of course, a cute animal like a panda, as long as it is a normal person, it is difficult to resist its charm." ”

Xu Wangqiu suddenly remembered that CCTV and "People's Daily" surpassed the New York Times and the BBC in fans and likes on Facebook in the previous life, and some people questioned that they must have bought fans and likes. Later, everyone found out that CCTV and "People's Daily" really didn't buy fans and likes, but often posted panda pictures, which attracted crazy likes from foreigners.

Pandas are really born with cuteness, and few people can resist its charm of selling cuteness.

Xu Wangqiu saw that the Three Kingdoms Rentaro and the Dongying people present were all looking at him with antiquation, so he smiled and said, "This is not a difficult matter. When the movie is finished, I will arrange for you to go to the Wolong Giant Panda Base to see the pandas. ”

The Dongying people present cheered, as if they had received the New Year's money.

Akina Nakamori's roles are all in Dongying, and she won't go to China with the crew, and when she heard that everyone can go to China to see pandas, but she can't see it, she said with envy: "I also want to go to China to see pandas." ”

Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "Although there is no role for you in the Chinese part, both China and Japan attach great importance to this movie, and the premiere will be held in China and Japan." As the lead actor you're going to be there for the premiere in China, and then you're going to see the panda. ”

Akina Nakamori was overjoyed when she heard this: "Oh, that's really good." ”

The next morning, the crew was in full swing, and all groups of staff were busy preparing for the upcoming shooting. Since everyone ate together, they are also a little familiar with each other. The staff of China and Japan seem to be close when they cooperate, almost like old friends.

When the crew began to work, the actors were not idle and began rehearsals.

The Dongying entertainment industry is basically the world of the Brecht system and Dongying's own performance theory, which can be said to be the world of expressionism, while China is the world of the Stanley system. Due to the different theoretical systems, the rehearsal methods are also very different. From the beginning of the rehearsal, Junya Sato asked the actors to put on costumes and put on makeup, and at first they just repeated the lines, and then slowly added the action.

Xu Wangqiu didn't agree with this rehearsal method, feeling that there was too little space for the actors to explore the potential of the actors. In fact, Junya Sato is not a director who is particularly able to explore the potential of actors, and the actors who star in his films rarely win awards. However, Junya Sato is a Japanese director, and he is more accustomed to this rehearsal method, and Xu Wangqiu is not easy to say.

Sun Daolin and Sankuni Rentaro are both artists who have been in the industry for decades, their acting skills are very exquisite, and they have worked "A Game of Chess That Has Not Been Finished", their rehearsals are perfect, and it is not a problem to start filming directly.

The situation of Tang Yuqiang and Akina Nakamori is completely opposite, and there have been problems since the rehearsal.

Tang Yuqiang has acted in New Year's dramas for more than ten years, and there is no problem with his acting skills, but his problem is that Ah Ming was sent to Dongying to learn chess when he was a teenager, and he has been living in Dongying, and his behavior is very Dongying, and Tang Guoqiang is from Bayi Factory, with the temperament of a soldier, and he walks with his head held high. When he was with Akina Nakamori, he didn't look like a lover, but like a samurai who protected the princess.

The problem with Akina Nakamori is that she has never acted before, and she is completely a blank slate. After it was determined that Akina Nakamori would play the role, Daiei Company specially asked an acting teacher to train her in acting. Up to now, she has been practicing for half a year, and it's okay to let her play simple things, but it's still very difficult for her to create characters. When rehearsing with Tang Guoqiang, her performance was always too violent, and she looked very exaggerated, which was not at all what everyone wanted to see.

For a few days, Tang Yuqiang and Akina Nakamori were in this state, and Junya Sato was a little anxious.

That night, Junya Sato was furious after watching the rehearsals of Hou Tang and Akina Nakamori.

Xu Wangqiu persuaded Junya Sato, and suggested that Tang Yuqiang and Akina Nakamori go shopping in the park like lovers every morning, let them find their feelings, and rehearse at the Huiying Company in the afternoon;

Junya Sato also felt that Tang Yuqiang and Akina Nakamori were mainly not relaxed enough, and Xu Wangqiu's suggestion was very good, so they should be allowed to go out for a walk, and after they got acquainted with each other, they might relax and find the feeling of performing.

In the next few days, Tang Yuqiang and Akina Nakamori were arranged by the crew to visit various attractions in Tokyo. After a few days, the two became good friends. Tang Guoqiang really relaxed a lot during the performance, and coupled with watching the video tapes of chess players every day, he found the feeling of a chess player.

That night, production director Fang Zhenwu found Xu Wangqiu. He said to Xu Wangqiu that Tang Yanqiang and Akina Nakamori are young people, they go shopping and parks every day, and they rehearse together every day.

In later generations, it is not uncommon for celebrities to fall in love with foreigners, and it is normal to marry foreigners. But during this period, it is not allowed or forbidden for Chinese to fall in love with foreigners, and there is a risk of prison. ”

In 1979, Li Shuang, a 22-year-old freelance painter in Beiping, met Bai Xiang, a diplomat at the Cultural Section of the French Embassy in China, at an art exhibition, and the two began dating soon after. In September last year, Li Shuang's blatant "unmarried illegal cohabitation" with foreigners was learned by the Beiping Municipal Public Security Bureau, and quickly rose to the height of "connecting foreign countries". The Beiping Municipal Public Security Bureau arrested Li Shuang on charges of "betraying intelligence to foreigners", "undermining national dignity", and "betraying national dignity" and "selling personality". After her arrest, Li Shuang was sentenced to two years of re-education through labor, while her lover Bai Baixiang was expelled from China.

After Bai Tianxiang was expelled from China, he withstood all kinds of pressure and actively campaigned in France, constantly writing letters to the French government and major media, causing an uproar in the French media and even the entire Western world. In May 1983, French President François Mitterrand visited China and made a solemn request to China: "Please allow this little girl to go to Paris to reunite with her lover and get married." In the end, Taizong personally ordered Li Shuang to be released and let her reunite with Bai Tianxiang in France. Soon after that, the state introduced foreign-related marriage regulations, and it was only when China and foreigners were allowed to marry in love.

Xu Wangqiu felt that Tang Guoqiang was almost thirty years old, and he was from Bayi Factory, and he had a strong sense of discipline, while Akina Nakamori had just come of age, and the age gap between the two sides was large, and the cultural differences were also large, so there should be no scandals, so the other party Zhenwu said: "I know Lao Tang better, he is not the kind of person who doesn't know the severity; We should believe in our comrades. Don't say this to other people, lest Old Tang feel psychological pressure when he hears it. ”

Xu Wangqiu is the director of the art center and Fang Zhenwu's superior. Since Xu Wangqiu said so, Fang Zhenwu couldn't say anything more, nodded and said, "I know, I definitely won't talk nonsense about this." ”

Tang Yuqiang's obstacles in performance have been solved, but Akina Nakamori's problem has never been solved, and her performance has never met Sato's requirements. Xu Wangqiu feels that her problem is not due to the performance itself, it may be related to the training she has received, and there may also be psychological reasons. It's just that Akina Nakamori is a Dongying actor, and only Dongying's role is in charge of Junya Sato, Xu Wangqiu is not easy to ask, otherwise he will appear to distrust Junya Sato, which will affect the cooperation.

That night, Junya Sato was completely angry after watching the rehearsal of Akina Nakamori and Tang Yuqiang, smashed the cup in his hand, slapped her in the past, and scolded viciously: "Bastard! How long have you been practicing, why are you still like this? Can you do it, can you act? I have never seen such a stupid actor as you!"

Five red finger prints appeared on Akina Nakamori's white face, which was very dazzling. She felt a hot pain in her face, but what hurt her heart even more was like being smashed with a hammer. She bit her lip hard, trying to control her emotions and not crying, but she couldn't control it, and the tears were dripping down in large numbers.

Xu Wangqiu shook his head slightly, thinking to himself that Junya Sato is also an old director, how could he be so impulsive, he actually made a move at the actor, or at a fledgling grass bird actor, it was really undeserved;

There are various types of directors in the film industry, some are good-tempered and some are bad-tempered, but few directors lose their temper at the actors. Even so-called "on-set tyrant" directors rarely lose their temper with their actors. For example, Akira Kurosawa often yells on the set and is called "the emperor", but he never gets angry at the actors, and the targets of his anger are basically the assistant director. Feng Xiaogang also said: "I sometimes lose my temper on the set because of the staff, and I never lose my temper with the actors." ”

In the eyes of many people, an actor is the kind of existence that cries when he wants to cry and laughs when he wants to, but in fact this is not the case. The kind of actors who cry when they want to cry and laugh when they want to laugh are Qiong Yao drama actors, they cry so much when they are acting, they seem to be rarely sad, but when you look at their eyes, most of them are empty, and they are not emotionally invested at all.

A really good actor, a really good performance is to cast emotions like emotions. And the emotions and emotions of the actors are very fragile, and the emotions of the actors are often only a few minutes or ten minutes, which need to be protected. Once the actor's mood is destroyed, then the actor's performance cannot be invested, and he can only do a stylized performance to achieve the effect of Qiong Yao drama.

Therefore, when the director loses his temper in the crew, he often loses his temper at the staff, and rarely the director loses his temper with the actors.

Of course, it's not on the set now, so there's no need to protect the actors' emotions, but Akina Mori is a newcomer who hasn't acted before. New actors often lack self-confidence when they first get involved in acting, and they rely more on the director's guidance, and they are also the ones who need protection the most. Junya Sato's slap is afraid that it will completely collapse Akina Nakamori's already insufficient confidence.

Xu Wangqiu stepped forward and persuaded: "Mr. Sato, what are you doing here! Nakamori is a novice who has never acted, it is normal to not act well, just practice slowly." Many great actors didn't act well when they first started acting, and they all practiced slowly. Besides, it's our job as directors to discover the potential of actors!"

Junya Sato sighed and said: "But we don't have time, the movie is filmed for the 10th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, and it will be released in September next year, and the movie must be started in early January, otherwise it will be too late in time." There is still half a month to turn on the machine, and her current state is not right at all. Junya Sato looked at Xu Wangqiu and said solemnly: "Mr. Xu, let's change people! Let Yakushimaru Hiroko play, I have worked with her, she should be able to play the role of Haoba." ”
