Chapter Ninety-Nine: It's Wonderful!
"Autumn Fairy Tale" tells a very beautiful but realistic love story.
But it doesn't appear even a single "I love you" from beginning to end.
A gambling and righteous "rotten man" bow ruler, and a girl Li Qi who saved money and ran to the United States to chase her boyfriend's footsteps and wanted to study with him, but faced a lovelorn girl Li Qi after her arrival, the two went from acquaintance, to getting along bit by bit in life, and then to a faint feeling, in the original movie, all the feelings and intentions in this movie were controlled by the director very restrained.
Until the end, the bow ruler had changed his habit of gambling, and realized his dream and opened a restaurant he wanted, and Li Qi happened to come here again, saw this restaurant, and the two reunited. The male protagonist sent off a guest, turned his head and saw the girl he liked in his heart, and the girl stood a dozen steps away and looked at him, and only the male protagonist ended with a bland and volcanic excitement - "Table-for-to?"
Two of them?
In this sentence, the bow ruler said it was still restrained and restrained.
Love and love, there are for sure.
But will the two end up together?
Most likely not.
But it doesn't matter.
After all, there was such a beautiful companionship and love in life.
And now, Li Qian stood at the door of the restaurant, and the American actor who played the diner also chose a seat, and then the camera was finished, and after a "start", the bow ruler, who was dressed in a formal suit and had a clean beard, smiled and talked to his customer, saw him off and welcomed him back, and then, when he turned around, he saw Li Qi not far away.
His expression was dull for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth grinned, as if he wanted to laugh, but he was restrained, as if he was surprised, but he was a little unsure of the truth of the matter in front of him.
Behind the monitor, Lu Lingxi looked at Li Qian's expression, and couldn't help but "tsk" in his heart.
In fact, Lu Lingxi didn't think that Li Qian was the kind of good actor whose acting skills exploded - as a director and screenwriter, of course he was so awesome that he could soar on the spot, but as an actor, he was ......
In "Red Sorghum", you are not so much saying that Li Qian's acting skills are outstanding, but that the powerful male hormones that he showed in the movie are so powerful that they fly so much that they drown everything, which is really too biao. The tendon flesh and the undisguised majestic aura made many women wet their stockings instantly.
Of course, there must be acting skills, and they are very good, and the Berlin Film Festival actor is not given randomly.
However, as a director with a certain pursuit, Lu Lingxi obviously has her own set of standards for the evaluation and selection of good actors, and according to her set of standards, well, Li Qian is a good actor, but he is not the top good actor.
But in this shooting, I have to admit that many times Li Qian's interpretation of the role is simply poking into her heart - not a single point, a lot of points, and it is scratching the itch.
For example, at this moment, appearing in a large close-up, the joy, surprise, helplessness, and a slight inferiority complex on his face are revealed in a few micro-expressions.
If the level of his acting skills in "Red Sorghum" is B+ or A-, then the performance in just a few seconds now, in Lu Lingxi's opinion, is absolutely A+!
So in fact, the movie and the performance are composed of a paradox - big themes and majestic things, many times for the actor's performance, it may not be a good thing, but some delicate and gentle small themes are the touchstone of whether an actor's acting skills are good enough.
But on the contrary, the former can make it easier for an actor to become famous.
…………
Sighing with satisfaction in his heart, Lu Lingxi shouted loudly, "Click, it's over!"
The actors don't move, all the actors don't move, only the camera retreats, giving a telescope.
In the sea breeze under the sunset, the camera shot behind the heroine Li Qi, Li Qian was dressed in formal clothes, standing at the door of the restaurant, Lu Lingxi shouted, "Ready...... Let's go!"
Playing the board.
The bow ruler still had a smile on his face that had not yet dissipated, and suddenly saw Li Qi.
He was obviously stunned for a moment, the muscles on his face trembled slightly, and then, he subconsciously looked back at his restaurant, turned his head to look at Li Qi again, some smiles rose, and some helplessness, looked back at his restaurant again, turned around, rubbed his hands, and finally relieved, with a little smile on his face, and said, "Table-for-to?"
When Lu Lingxi got the script, when she turned to the last page, in this paragraph, Li Qian wrote like this - the bow ruler sent the guests, turned around, and suddenly found Li Qi at the head of the bridge, slightly stunned, sluggish, and said after a while: "Table-for-to?"
That night, Lu Lingxi was reading the script on the sofa in the living room, and he couldn't help but think: What kind of love is this! There is no confession and show of love, there is no vigorous and tragic grandeur, and the huge disparity between the identity, age, education, and identity between the two people makes the two people who love each other show abnormal restraint. So in such a love, love is like a clear spring, flowing slowly and gurglingly.
Not worldly, not wrong, not utilitarian.
And at the end of the story, almost everyone who reads this story will probably expect a perfect ending between the two that breaks common sense - after all, in the hearts of many people, love, especially the love story on the big screen, if it can't break something, then why is it called love?
However, no.
This is where the story ends, and it comes to an abrupt end.
It's simply an endless aftertaste.
There is a touch of little beauty, and there is a little helplessness in reality, but there is absolutely no dog blood in the usual romance films.
This is what happens almost every moment in reality, you, or me, we may meet such a beautiful person at any time, and such a beautiful relationship.
It doesn't even have to be fruitful, the process is good enough.
Therefore, at that time, Lu Lingxi was already thinking - Li Qian is really a very special person who understands feelings. His heart is so delicate and proper.
He has already seen through the love in this world, but he still uses such an indifferent way and such an indifferent story to express his attitude towards love.
It's so warm that it makes people's hearts melt.
That's true romance.
Then let him play it himself, such a person as the bow ruler, such a relationship between him and Li Qi is his pen, so simply leave it to him to finish.
Then, Li Qian really agreed.
From that moment on, Lu Lingxi was looking forward to this moment.
And the arrival of this moment made her not the slightest disappointment, only full of joy and admiration.
That's nice!
…………
The scenes in the script have been performed, but the director has not spoken for a long time.
Everyone was a little stunned.
The director didn't say it was over, of course the camera continued to rotate, but the problem was that Li Qian had already finished his lines, so he could only stand there stupidly.
After more than ten seconds, the staff standing behind Lu Lingxi reminded in a low voice, "Director...... Director......
Lu Lingxi suddenly came back to his senses, a flash of red flashed on his face, and he hurriedly said, "Click!
…………
In one morning, there was rarely a smooth shooting of NG, which was enough for the crew of "Autumn Fairy Tale" to end this part of the filming at the seaside, and then move to New York City again.
This time, there are several street scenes in the urban area, most of which are scenes where the bow ruler and Li Qi talk while walking, which is no longer a problem for Qin Jingjing, who is currently entering the state - playing cards is a very magical thing, because it uses a game that almost does not involve real interests, which makes people have a sense of victory and defeat. With a sense of victory, there is a calculation. And in this kind of calculation, unconsciously, there is both struggle and cooperation with the people around him and card friends, and there is also ridicule.
Unconsciously, the personality bloomed, and the proficiency was also run-in.
Then, in the afternoon of the same day, after a group of domestic actors landed in Los Angeles, they quickly took a direct turn and flew to New York - for the next scene, other actors will join the crew.
Including the two fox friends of the male protagonist, and the de facto male number two of this movie - the ex-boyfriend of the heroine Li Qi.
In the original movie, although the two friends of the bow ruler do not have many shots, they are not only friends with each other, but also have a lifelong friendship, which plays a great role in shaping the image of the character of the bow ruler. And in this version, Li Qian has already written in the script that these two people are fat and thin.
The roles of the characters are not difficult, and the candidates are also easy to choose.
Minghu Culture has Zhong Yuanfu, the "most flexible fat man" in the Chinese entertainment industry, of course, he said that he would pull it over, and of course Zhong Yuanfu would never refuse to play for his own boss.
As for the thin man, originally Lu Lingxi wanted Yu Bojun Yu Dashao to play, after all, in reality he is Li Qian's buddy, and it is easier to come out of the brother play, but after careful consideration, she herself overturned this idea - there is no other reason, Yu Dashao is also quite handsome, although not as handsome as Li Qian, but theoretically speaking, even if he is just more handsome, it is easy to take away a certain amount of attention. What's more, Yu Dashao is not a professional actor, and his acting skills should not be expected too high, but on the contrary, he is a playboy in life, let him play an ordinary retired crew member, mixed with Chinese in New York, I am afraid that he can't act with the breath of a playboy.
So in the end, Lu Lingxi chose Zhou Ye to make a cameo.
Well, it's the singing Zhou Ye.
Although he is not a professional actor, but for so many years, he has always regarded himself as the younger brother of Li Qian and Liao Liao, and the relationship with Li Qian is still very familiar.
Of course, Zhou Ye also gave face properly.
As for the male number two, Li Qi's ex-boyfriend, the requirements are simple, handsome!
The second point will be to consider being more polite and elegant.
Just imagine, the boy who can make the girl Huaichun always like is also a love of reading, doesn't it have to be like this?
In the original version of "Autumn Fairy Tale" directed by Zhang Wanting, the person who played this role at that time was a well-known weak little handsome guy, Chen Baiqiang.
And now, Lu Lingxi has invited the handsome guy of "the third handsome man of Minghu culture" to play this role.
Yes, Zhu Qiang.
Well, in Minghu Culture, Li Qian is recognized as the first handsome, although there is a suspicion of sycophancy, but Li Qian's handsomeness is not questioned by anyone, and the second handsome is controversial, and it is a little ridiculous - because Cao Zhan's cute uncle has been really popular in recent years, so everyone jokingly calls him "the second handsome of Minghu Culture". Of course, Zhu Qiang will automatically fall to third.
When he was studying in the film academy, although Zhu Qiang was in the acting department, there were about 100 students in all classes of each class of the film academy, in fact, Lu Lingxi had already known him when he was still in school, and later recognized Zhu Qiang's acting skills, so this time, he invited him to play the weak and handsome male number two without hesitation.
And this is already the most important film contract that Zhu Qiang has received in the past year or two.
arranged for the driver to pick up the airport in advance, and when the crew returned to the hotel after today's shooting, Zhu Qiang, Zhong Yuanfu and Zhou Ye had already arrived.
Li Qian has his own mansion in New York, but this time, he didn't stay and still moved with the big team, so soon after returning to the hotel, he met the three new arrivals.
After a simple greeting, everyone went downstairs to eat together.
Zhou Ye knew that Liao Liao was running around the United States to prepare for his own concert, and when he was eating, he told Li Qian that when the cameo was over, he wanted to meet his sister Liao Liao, and by the way, he would visit the preparations for the concert - and then in March next year, his third world tour will also begin.
Li Qian made an appointment with him at that time, and he would go with him when the time came.
It's just that when he was eating, he heard the next table talking about playing cards at night, Zhou Ye asked very curiously and interestedly, and Li Qian also replied casually, saying that they had been playing cards together at night recently.
Zhou Ye is also straightforward, but he said, I will come that night, and I will definitely not be able to sleep when it happens to be jet lag.
Of course, Li Qian said yes.
Zhu Qiang didn't like this, so he didn't mean to mix, but Zhong Yuanfu also looked like he was eating with his head down - Zhou Ye was a little surprised, and invited him to play together, saying: "Playing cards, it's lively when there are more people, you can divide it into two, or even three card games!"
Zhong Yuanfu looked stupid, "Quit it, quit it, hehe, don't play anymore ......"
Zhou Ye was extremely surprised.
After dinner, Zhu Qiang chatted with Li Qian about his recent drama tour, and soon said goodbye and left, but Zhou Ye didn't leave, pulled Li Qian and asked him to give a new song, saying that he was going to be a surprise at the concert, and before Li Qian could agree, someone knocked on the door over there, he went over and opened the door, dumbfounded.
He immediately understood why Zhong Yuanfu suddenly quit gambling.
