Chapter 94: It's a pity
How could such a thing happen?
Ding Cheng and He Jiong looked at each other, looking at their expressions, even Teacher He had heard of it for the first time?
Huang Lei sighed and said helplessly: "It's not just that, so many stars are invited to each episode, each person only comes for a few days at most, and they die for a week, and it is really difficult to finish filming everything in a short schedule, it's not easy." ”
"I remember the worst thing is that there were three or four big stars, the schedule was crowded into those two weeks, and all the brains came, and the film crew had almost no way to sleep, and they kept shooting every day. ”
"It tired me out at the time!"
Ding Cheng stood up silently and poured wine for Huang Lei, he could understand the helplessness and grievances of the other party at that time, but after all, he was an actor, and in the end, no matter what the reason, the audience of the work scolded the street, you have to endure it.
I have also watched a few episodes of the original book, showing the marginalized people living in the fast-paced city, after a day's work, come to this special canteen, drink wine, eat their favorite food, unload the fatigue of the day, talk about the interesting things they encounter, or taste the sorrow alone.
In the aroma of food, in the unique silence of the late night and the warmth of the cafeteria, a story full of human touch is told. There are sorrows and joys, which are secretly combined with the ups and downs of food.
The original Douban score is as high as 9.2 so far, and the remake is only 3.6 now?
Returning to the role, Kaoru Kobayashi, the actor of the Japanese version of the boss, was born in 1951, long before the late-night cafeteria was broadcast, he starred in the movie "Guide Dog Little Q" won the love of a large number of young domestic audiences, and the calm and sad blind Mr. Watanabe made the audience remember him.
However, in the late-night cafeteria, his style has changed drastically, wearing a dark blue kimono, a terrifying scar on his face, not saying much, and his eyes are sharp, as if he can see through the world.
The rich temperament exuded by the body and the softness and charm of the diners are mixed together, and Kaoru Kobayashi, who is over 60 years old, brilliantly interprets the experience and mystery of the late-night canteen owner.
I heard that South Korea also filmed a version, and the well-known old drama bone Kim Seung-woo played a tough and warm male uncle, who was nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Blue Dragon Awards twice.
In the play, he did not imitate the Japanese version of the dress, but wore a simple dark blue labor cloth shirt and an apron of the same color, which was a little similar to Kaoru Kobayashi, but it was full of Korean characteristics when you looked closely.
Even if there is no scar on the face, the eyes are gentle, the expression is tough and comfortable, often in a state of seeing through but not saying that it is broken, silently giving just the right amount of care to people who have suffered misfortunes in life, and revealing the recognition of kindness in the silent and warm gaze.
Regarding Huang Lei's performance this time, Ding Cheng couldn't say a lot of things. His outfit is excessively similar to the Japanese version of Kaoru Kobayashi, with a wide jacket similar to a kimono and a white towel around his neck for some reason, making people look like an island chef.
also has a beard, but his temperament has nothing to do with vicissitudes, experience and profundity, showing a sentimental middle-aged male image like Xu Zhimo.
Especially when it comes to unfortunate diners, they don't sit on the sidelines at all, but directly participate in their life stories.
Then I was worried about them and wept like rain for them. His own emotions are so abundant that the audience can't find a stable emotional fulcrum in the play. So in my opinion, Mr. Huang's failure this time lies in the word amorous!
Not to mention the plot story, the original version is a cold and sad picture of the bottom of society, in which the little characters struggle in their dreams of life and struggle in hopeless love.
They fought hard for the left and right of society, their tragic stories, their awakening, and their successes were all full of desolation. And the boss with a mysterious background accepts all their failures and confusion.
The Korean version is an emotionally warm secular painting, high-profile proclaiming the preciousness of human warmth and kindness. The most impressive is the first episode. A part-time student who can't afford to eat gets the help of his boss, diners, and big brother in the underworld.
The seemingly unreasonable underworld big brother pours out selfless care for the younger generations, a man who survives by violence shows old-fashioned warmth in front of the weak, and a teenager who struggles to survive in society inspires his kindness that has been hidden for too long, and the dog's blood is also a tearjerker.
It's a pity that the mainland version of the story can't capture the hearts of the audience at all, especially the so-called three sisters snatching their boyfriends, one girl snatching another girl's sweetheart, and the friends don't feel guilty but they do their own thing, so there is no lower limit to challenge the audience's values?
What's next, the love between a terminally ill female singer and a restaurant owner who does charity reveals Loriai's uncle-like love, and four adult men are nostalgic for their youth because a female classmate they once had a crush on is getting married......
All stories are either far away from the daily life of normal people, or seem too shallow and trivial, how to make the audience resonate?
"Hey, it's not me who says big things, if I let me write the script myself......" Huang Lei put down his wine glass and said loudly: "I'll tell you about it!"
"The camera appeared directly in a courtyard in the capital, where I sat on lamb skewers, and then set up a stall on the street with beer edamame and peanuts. ”
"While chatting with the uncle and aunt, the barbecue was delicious, and the aroma was fragrant. There are all kinds of customers, such as neighbors, uncles and aunts, students passing by from school, and white-collar elites......"
"No matter who comes, no matter how high your status or how much money you have, just sit down when you come, drink beer, knock edamame and chat, this is our late-night cafeteria, right?"
Everyone laughed, and Ding Cheng said with a flash of inspiration: "Especially when friends come, such as Guan Hu, Xu Wenzheng, Shen Teng, and Huang Bo, they come here to eat edamame, brag B, and drop wine bottles." ”
Let Huang Bo come out with a plate of fried clams and shout in Qingdao dialect: What are you arguing about, those three big girls will scare you away. ”
Then as soon as the camera turned, Sister Na, Ma Li and Jia Ling glanced at each other, and scolded directly: Roll the calves, just they are little chicks, dare to blow a bottle?"
At this time, Yanni pushed the door and came in: Yo, why don't you still work Boss, you have been sitting in the store for a long time......
Just before and after, Zhang Yi, the city manager, stretched his head in, and said with a mouth full of Beijing films: Master Huang, the grill at your door should be removed tomorrow. ”
"When the time comes, you will glare, and you will scold back directly: Open your dog's eyes and see, this is the house of the sixth master who rented!"
"Hey, this time the sixth master is not easy to make, the above has been posted. Yo, the shopkeeper Yan is also here, and the door of your inn will probably have to be reorganized......"
Huang Lei was stunned and listened, suddenly patted Ding Cheng on the shoulder, and said loudly: "You kid can be, talented!"
"I'll ...... next" He Jiong was also aroused by his desire to create, and continued: "Lao Huang, your character is set up as an old employee of a state-owned enterprise, and there are a lot of fart things in middle age, his wife is sensitive to menopause, and his daughter is fierce and perverse during her rebellious period. My wife is clamoring to buy a house all day long, and my daughter is clamoring to study abroad. ”
In the end, because of your confrontation with the leader, you took the initiative to resign in a fit of anger, and your marriage was also affected, and your wife and daughter ran away from home. ”
"Then you have been frustrated in finding a job, and you suddenly think that you used to be a cook when you were young, and you were able to catch up with your wife because of your cooking skills, so you set up a stall downstairs and ran a food stall. ”
"Do you think this person is set up well?"
Huang Lei's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait: "The plot of the first episode is that the runaway boy was bullied by hooligans and occasionally fled to Lao Huang's stall, I covered for him and fried a bowl of egg fried rice." The boy said that he was a single-parent family, and he ran away from home because of discord with his father, and his father couldn't cook, only scrambled egg fried rice, he didn't like to eat it very much, but he didn't expect Lao Huang's egg fried rice to be so delicious. ”
"Because fried rice is the simplest home dish, I don't usually eat it, but it tastes especially delicious when I'm hungry, just like most of our parents are ordinary and mediocre. But when we are helpless and lonely, we always think of them first. ”
"The first episode is called ordinary egg fried rice!"
