Chapter 81: The movie is finished
The time soon entered June, the temperature was getting higher and higher, the girls were changing into cool summer clothes, and the filming of "Hoe Rape" was slowly coming to an end.
At this time, there was a big scandal in the Shadow Factory. When actor Pan Hong starred in "Distressed Laughter", she had an extramarital affair with director Yang Yanban. Yang Yanban's wife Hong Rong was furious and posted the love letter written by Pan Hong to Yang Yanban on the bulletin board in the compound of the Magic Shadow Factory, which made everyone know.
Xu Wangqiu didn't know what to say when he heard this, Pan Hongren is very good, and he is also a very good actor, and her husband Mi Jiashan has a very good relationship with Xu Wangchuan, and this kind of thing is really not what he wants to see. thought that Pan Hong would not act in "Distressed Laughter" after acting in "Mom Loves Me Again", but I didn't expect that she would still cooperate with Yang Yanban, or spark with Yang Yanban like in her previous life.
This afternoon, Xu Wangqiu was busy at the scene, and suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting: "Wangqiu! Wangqiu!" Xu Wangqiu looked up and saw that it was the eldest brother Xu Wangchuan, and hurriedly greeted him: "Big brother, why are you running away from the devil?"
Xu Wangchuan laughed and said, "I came here with my friends to do something." How are you, the movie is going well, right?"
"It went well. Xu Wangqiu hurriedly asked about the situation at home, "How are your parents, and how is your little sister?"
Xu Wangchuan said with a smile: "The family is very good, my mother often talks about you, and my little sister also talks about it for three days and two days, and says that I am going to take the high school entrance examination, and the second brother will not come back, which is really excessive!" He handed a bag to Xu Wangqiu: "Little sister knows that I am coming to the magic capital, and you are filming here again, so I specially weighed a pound of hemp candy for you, saying that you like to eat this." ”
Xu Wangqiu looked at the hemp candy in his hand and felt warm in his heart: "This is my sister, I really don't feel sorry for her in vain." ”
Xu Wangqiu didn't talk to Xu Wangchuan for a few words, and the assistant director came over to tell him that the preparations had been made and he could officially shoot. Xu Wangqiu said to Xu Wangchuan: "Big brother, you sit and rest for a while." When I'm done filming, I'll take you around. ”
Xu Wangchuan waved his hand and said: "I still have something to do, so I won't stay long, Lao Mi, they are still waiting for me!"
Xu Wangqiu heard that Xu Wangchuan came with Mi Jiashan and them, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, you won't come here specifically to clean up Yang Yanban, right?"
Xu Wangchuan originally wanted to hide it from Xu Wangqiu, but he didn't expect to be seen through, thinking that the second child's head didn't know how long it was, and he couldn't hide anything, so he said: "If this kind of thing happens, which man can swallow this breath? Lao Mi wants to come over to clean up Yang Yanban, I can't help it, don't tell your parents!"
Xu Wangqiu remembered that in the previous life, Mi Jiashan seemed to have smashed Yang Yanban's house, but he didn't do anything to Yang Yanban, and later Yang Yanban made many movies including "Little Street", and he also fought with the assistant director for actresses. However, be careful to make the Wannian ship, he still advised: "Big brother, it's no problem for you to help your friends set up a field, but you'd better not do it, even if you really want to do it, don't make a dead hand, don't be impulsive." ”
Xu Wangchuan knew that Xu Wangqiu was worried about his life, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, we just teach him a lesson, let him not destroy other people's families, we won't be like Xiao Young who can't control his anger." ”
At noon the next day, the news of Yang Yanban's beating reached the crew of "Hoe Rape". Everyone said that Mi Jiashan led people to smash Yang Yanban's house, and also beat Yang Yanban into a panda, so that he had to wear sunglasses when he went out. But no one sympathizes with Yang Yanban, they all think that he deserves it, you have a wife, and people also have husbands, and now if this kind of thing happens, it is light to be beaten.
This incident is just a small episode in the filming process of "Hoe Rape", and it is a little talk for the staff in their spare time.
Xu Wangqiu also wrote about this incident in a letter to Su Bai, and said that Hong Rong seemed to be a very gentle woman, but she didn't expect that when she encountered this kind of thing, her reaction would be so violent. Su Bai said in his reply that everyone has their own bottom line, even if they are weak, they may become tigers when the bottom line is broken.
Xu Wangqiu did not discuss this issue with Su Bai in depth, his mind was focused on the final shooting of "Hoe Rape".
At four o'clock in the afternoon of June 18, in an alley in the magic capital, the staff of the crew of "Hoe Rape" were busy. The sun at the end of June was so hot that it spewed flames in the sky, turning the whole world into a giant oven that almost baked the crew. They had beads of sweat in their hair, dripping down. The sweat-soaked clothes clinged to the back, sweaty.
But everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces, as if they were enjoying it. Because this is the last shot of "Hoe Rape", as long as this shot passes, the entire filming of "Hoe Rape" will be completely over.
This scene is a conversation between Duan Haiping and Liu Wenying before the second assassination of the traitor, after the assassination, Duan Haiping will go to the Central Soviet District, while Liu Wenying will go to the magic capital and work in the special department, and the day of separation is coming. Now I want to shoot a shot of two people walking forward, mainly to show their reluctance to each other.
When this shot was taken for the fourth time, Xu Wangqiu was more satisfied, and there was no problem with the photography and recording, so it was okay. However, Xu Wangqiu did not rush to shout "pass", but called Zeng Lianping over and explained a few words. Zeng Lianping was a little surprised, but still nodded.
The fifth shoot began, and Zhou Lijin and Fang Shu in the camera shot slowly walked towards it. Zhou Lijin said to Fang Shu, you have to take care. Fang Shu nodded and said that you should also take care. After the lines were finished, the two of them walked forward quietly. But the two of them quickly realized that something was wrong, why didn't the director stop it!
Fang Shu turned her head to look at Zhou Lijin and lowered her head. Zhou Lijin glanced at Fang Shu and lowered his head. After an interval of two seconds, they looked up at each other again and lowered their heads again. They all wondered why the director didn't shout to stop? What the hell is going on? But they are actors, and the director doesn't shout to stop, so they can only continue to act and move on.
Fang Shu and Zhou Lijing didn't know that Xu Wangqiu was studying "Graduate", and hoped that they would have an impromptu performance, hoping to discover something different. At the end of the movie "The Graduate", the male protagonist succeeded in getting married, and happily squeezed on the bus with the heroine, but then the smiles of the two young people gradually disappeared, their faces were expressionless, and they didn't even know where to look, leaving only deep confusion. That scene was originally going to end after the hero and heroine looked at each other and smiled, but because the director didn't call it to stop, the actors didn't know what to do, and they didn't dare to move, so they could only wait, so there was this classic scene in film history.
Xu Wangqiu's eyes were firmly fixed on Zhou Lijin and Fang Shu, although he didn't have a monitor and couldn't see the picture of the movie, but after a few months of paragraphs, he had learned to make up the scene he saw, and he could make up the scene he saw into a movie shot.
In Xu Wangqiu's brain fill-up picture, this shot of himself is not a close-up like "The Graduate", but a medium-shot shot. The audience will not see the helplessness and confusion in the eyes of Zhou Lijin and Fang Shu like watching "The Graduate", but they will walk forward in silence, looking at each other from time to time, in an uneasy mood. Combined with the previous lines of the two, under the effect of the Kulishov effect, the audience will think that they are upset because they are separating from each other, and everything is self-evident.
The whole shot lasted for nearly fifty seconds, and Xu Wangqiu was finally satisfied, and shouted excitedly: "Stop!"
Zhou Lijin and Fang Shu both breathed a sigh of relief, this scene can be regarded as complete, and it will really collapse if it continues to be performed.
The entire crew quieted down, and the staff's eyes were like spotlights, converging on Xu Wangqiu, waiting for him to give the result. Xu Wangqiu is very satisfied with this shot, but whether this shot can pass or not is not up to him alone. Zeng Lianping smiled and nodded, and the recording team made a gesture that was okay.
Xu Wangqiu exhaled softly and loudly announced to the crew members who were full of anticipation: "Comrades! Comrades! I announce that after nearly three months of hard shooting, the movie "Hoe Rape" has officially been completed!" He first clapped his hands, and then bowed to the on-site staff and said: "Everyone has worked hard these days! Thank you for your efforts!"
The whole crew suddenly burst into warm applause, everyone applauded and shouted, and the whole set turned into a sea of joy.
"Hoe Rape" has gone through many hardships from preparation to now, being rejected by Beijing Film Studio, budget problems, and suppression by the leaders of the ministry, almost every step of the way has put the film at risk of premature death, but fortunately, the main creator of the crew withstood the pressure. After going through many hardships, "Hoe Rape" was finally completed, and the excitement from the heart was comparable to getting a college letter.
The completion of the film means that the filming work is over, and it also means that the day of parting is approaching. In later generations, there was often a finale banquet when the movie was finished. In this era, without this statement, the finale banquet cannot be accounted for. However, the crew of "Hoe Rape" still held a finale banquet, and the money was not paid by the crew, but by Zhao Dan.
The cast and crew who did not leave all participated in the finale banquet, and everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the successful conclusion of the filming of "Hoe Rape". More than 100 people sat at the wine table and talked and laughed, and the scene was very warm. During the staggered time, everyone complained about Xu Wangqiu, saying that they would never join his crew again in the future, there was no remuneration and no subsidies, and the requirements were very high. However, after complaining, many people couldn't help but ask Xu Wangqiu what their plans were next.
Zhao Shan was no exception, and specially pulled Xu Wangqiu aside to talk about the next movie: "Wangqiu, "Hoe Rape" has been filmed. When will "A Game of Chess That Hasn't Been Finished" be filmed? The Guo Yishan in the story is middle-aged, which is especially suitable for me. You promised Uncle Zhao that if you have a suitable role, you must find me, you have to talk about it, this role can't be handed over to others!"
Xu Wangqiu felt a little sad when he heard this, Zhao Dan was originally going to play Guo Yishan in the previous life, but he died in the process of preparing for the movie. Now Zhao Dan should already have terminal cancer, and time is running out. He pretended to be relaxed and said: "That's for sure, the only candidate for the role of Yishan in my heart is you! But Uncle Zhao, you have to pay attention to your body, I think you seem to have lost weight recently." You should go to the hospital for a check-up, let the doctor recuperate for you, and adjust your body well, so that we can shoot "A Game of Chess That Hasn't Been Finished"!"
Zhao Dan heard that Xu Wangqiu really planned to let himself play Yishan, and said with a smile: "Then we have made up our minds!" "A Game of Chess That Never Ends" is played from middle age to old age, and the time span is very large, and I haven't acted in such a play for a long time. ”
