Chapter 10: The Walking Clouds
The next day, when Zhou Jin woke up, it was already dawn.
The sun was rising, and the sparrows were chirping outside the window.
Zhou Jin stretched and struggled to get up, feeling that his whole body was sore.
He fell asleep last night and didn't report to Erdongzi, and it's not realistic to pick up pigeons at this point now, so there is no filming today.
Well, let's take a day off.
Zhou Jin took a towel and a toothbrush to the public bathroom to wash, and looked at the young face in the mirror, he still felt a little dazed.
When looking at oneself in the mirror, one can't help but think about some questions.
Like who am I and what am I going to do......
23-year-old Zhou Jin has abundant energy, a handsome face, and a future with almost infinite possibilities.
If the next ten years were to be compared to a big gamble, he had already peeked at his hole cards.
But the problem now is that he can't find where the table is.
Zhou Jin tried to call his family and friends in his previous life, but the moment the phone was connected, there was an extremely unfamiliar voice.
He can't get back to the past......
In the current world, he only knows a few people such as Sister Lu, Lao Zheng Tou and Er Dongzi.
There is also a cheap sister in Hangzhou, but he doesn't dare to recognize each other at all, and he doesn't even dare to make a phone call.
He is a stowaway, cautiously lurking.
The only thing that really reassures him is the cottage of less than ten square meters, which is rented out.
What to do?
He didn't know.
Poke a few times in his mouth, spit out foam, wipe his face again, and when the washing is done, he returns to the hut.
"Aggressive ......" came a knock on the door.
Zhou Jin opened the door, and the first thing he saw was a round bald head.
"What's the matter?"
The bald brother smiled and said, "That, do you want to make a movie?"
Zhou Jin was stunned for a moment, what kind of road is this? But he politely invited people in.
There was a chair in the room and gave it to the bald brother, and Zhou Jin had to sit on the bed.
The bald brother sat down, took out a folder and handed it to Zhou Jin, and said, "We are a micro-film crew, and we want to invite you to star in our movie, this is the script." ”
Zhou Jin took the folder with respect, this was the first time he got the script since he became a group performer.
On the first page of the document are neatly written four words with a brush: Walking clouds.
Zhou Jin flipped back and found that this story was actually very thin.
It is probably said that a pair of young men and women show affection in various fancy ways in college, such as taking classes together, watching movies together, going to the library together, worrying about final exams together, and occasionally quarreling, but in the end they will reconcile.
Before graduation, the two agreed to go to see the sea in the future.
But after graduation, the pressure of life came suddenly, the boy had to work overtime frequently, the two of them got together less and left more, and gradually the girl felt that the relationship between the two had been broken, and the boy felt that he couldn't give her a future, so he broke up.
At the end of the story, the girl embarks on a journey to see the sea alone.
The story is not difficult to understand, but Zhou Jin doesn't understand very well, why such a story can also be made into a movie, doesn't such things happen every day?
Whoever is young will not have a story yet.
He said: "This story is very profound and touches me very much, it shows the concept of love and values of young men and women in the new era......
Uh, that, are you going to let me play the male lead?"
The bald brother said: "We think your image is very suitable for this movie, so we want you to play multiple roles." ”
"But there are only two roles in this script, won't I be able to play both the male and female protagonists alone, right?"
Zhou Jinte was surprised, do all the current directors play so big?
The bald brother smiled, "No, we want you to play other roles other than the male and female protagonists." ”
Saying that, he took the script, "You see, there are actually many characters on it, such as young college students, librarians, invigilators, and roommates......
Zhou Jin instantly understood, "You just say the group performance." ”
The bald man smiled and nodded.
"Three hundred and one days. "There's nothing unpleasant, Zhou Jin bid directly.
"Yes, but you'll have to follow the group. ”
"Okay. ”
The two agreed to start filming tomorrow, and after chatting about some details, the bald brother said goodbye.
Before leaving, the bald brother instructed: "You'd better read the script more and eat the characters thoroughly." ”
Zhou Jin sent him out with a smile on his face.
It's just a background board.,I'm going to eat a woolen character.。
If the crew in Hengdian needs a group performance, they usually contact the guild directly, and then the guild allocates these places to the group leader, and the group performers take over the play from the group leader.
The salaries of the group performers are also settled directly by the crew and the guild, and then the guild will pay the bank card of the group performers.
For group performances, the advantage of this is that it is more formal, and there is no need to worry about the crew defaulting on the accounts, and the disadvantage is that these salary guilds have to take a cut.
Therefore, some group performers will choose to bypass the group leaders and guilds and contact the crew directly.
However, it is generally introduced by acquaintances, and various contracts and forms have to be signed.
But Zhou Jin didn't lose anyway.
If the bald brother really asked him to play the male lead, then he really had to weigh it to see if there was any conspiracy in the middle.
But let him be a group performer, there is really nothing to scruple about, no matter what he shoots, just give money.
The next day, Zhou Jin got up early in the morning, dressed and washed quickly, went downstairs to eat breakfast, and when he returned to the café on the first floor, the genius was bright.
The group performers who went to the show early had already left, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road outside, and Zhou Jin was idle, so he simply played two sets of punches.
The mixed yuan Xinyi Tai Chi handed down from his family is said to have originated from Chen's Tai Chi, and was later improved by Feng Zhiqiang.
"Morning. The bald brother came down from upstairs, said hello, and stood aside to watch Zhou Jin box.
After watching it for a while, the bald brother smiled, and when he looked at the posture, he thought it was a practitioner, but when he saw that the next plate turned out to be a flower shelf.
"After that we met at seven o'clock in the morning. The bald brother dropped a sentence and went out for a walk.
waited until dawn, and several other young talents in the crew slowly went downstairs.
Zhou Jin glanced at it, three men and two women, about the same age as him, dressed fashionably, and went out with a smile.
Sister Lu also went downstairs at this time, she usually slept until more than eight o'clock before getting up, saying that sleeping would turn white, anyway, Zhou Jin didn't understand the reason.
"Where are they?" Zhou Jin asked.
Sister Lu shook her head, "I don't know, I guess I'm still a college student, and it seems to be from the magic capital." ”
College students can be said to be the most energetic group of people in my Great Heavenly Empire, with less class and more time, and some books, so they want to try everything, in their words, don't waste your youth.
Making movies is probably one of the ways they spend their youth.
After a while, the group came back, and the bald brother greeted Zhou Jin, and several people gathered in a circle.
"This is Chen En, our director and male lead. The bald brother pointed to the cap, and Zhou Jin hurriedly shook his hand.
Chen En was also quite polite, smiled at him, and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”
"My surname is Wang, the producer of the crew, you can come to me for anything. The bald brother introduced, "This is Zhou Jin, this is Sister Lu, and we are our co-actors this time." ”。
Zhou Jinte looked at Sister Lu next to her in surprise, what are you playing?
Sister Lu looked at him and smiled, I will play whatever you play.
A few people chatted for a while, and they probably got to know each other, after all, they are all young people and they are easy to talk to.
This group of people came from a certain university in the magic capital, Chen En, who wears a peaked cap, is a director, and the bald brother is a social person, so he was invited to come over and be a producer.
The remaining two boys, one photographer and one recording, the two girls wear red clothes, the more beautiful girl is called Shan Weiwei, who plays the heroine, and the other girl in white is makeup and clothing.
Don't look at the small crew, but there is a lot of equipment, cameras, recording rods, clothes and props, etc., all packed in several large trolley boxes.
The bald brother rented a minibus, Zhou Jin helped transport the things up, and then the group went to the filming base.
The first scene is in the library, where the male and female protagonists sit cross-legged under the bookshelves, and the photographer carries a camera and shoots in a half-crouching position.
The two sat back to back, with Chen En with his back to the camera, holding a book and reading.
Shan Weiwei suddenly raised his head, dragged the camera in front of him, and said to the camera: "Today is April 12, the first anniversary of my love with Chen En, and we decided to use the camera to record the story in the future." ”
The voice is very good, not standard Mandarin, with a bit of Wu Nong's soft language, but it is extraordinarily flavorful.
However, Zhou Jin felt a little strange, can the movie still be filmed like this?
At this time, he naturally didn't know that there was a form of film called pseudo-documentary.
Let's say it's a movie, there's no plot, let's say it's a documentary, but it's acting, it's the favorite of that group of literary directors.
Shan Wei suddenly smiled playfully, reached out and dragged Chen En over, and squeezed his two heads into the camera, "Chen En, let's go and see the sea after graduation." ”
Chen Endao: "Go to Chongming, you can take a taxi to go, and you can see there." ”
"Ahh......h
The two of them are noisy, it's really youthful.
Zhou Jin opened the script and found the section of the library, and found that there was only a brief description and a narration about this scene in the script, and there were no lines at all.
So are these two guys' lines all made up? Or did this dialogue really happen?
In the script, the narration reads:
Some beginnings are already destined to end, like beautiful flowers, but after all, they can't reach the flow of water.
Hehehe......
Zhou Jin shuddered suddenly, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.
He seemed to see himself when he was in high school, hiding under his desk and watching the beauty of youth.
