Chapter 173 Key Little Actors

After three or four days of preparation, Chang'an Film Studio has prepared all the venues, props, costumes and other things needed for the filming of the film.

After all, the Anti-Japanese War movie filmed this time is the type of movie they used to shoot often, and the costumes, props, and venues are ready-made and can be used directly.

And because there are almost no concrete war scenes, even fireworks and explosions are hardly prepared.

Now everything is ready, and the only thing missing is the actors in the film.

For the adult roles in the movie, Chang'an Film Studio can find on-site actors to play.

The male and female protagonists are played by Peng Yichen and Yu Jing respectively.

Fortunately, Yu Jing's movie has been completed, Peng Yichen made a phone call, and Yu Jing, who was about to return to Kyoto, rushed to Chang'an.

She doesn't want her man to be intimate with other women in the movie.

So she quickly agreed to star in this anti-war movie with zero pay.

Peng Yichen saw Yu Jing so positively, thinking that in this movie, although the heroine has a lot of roles, the requirements for acting skills are not too high.

In addition, he himself has always wanted to train his girlfriend's acting skills.

So it was quickly determined that she would play the heroine in the film.

After all the important roles in the movie were basically confirmed, Peng Yichen suddenly discovered that the most important role of "son" in the movie had not yet found a suitable young actor to play.

The crew found out all the information and film and television works of well-known child stars in China in recent years and showed them to Peng Yichen.

It's a pity that although the acting skills of these child stars are not bad, they always can't coincide with the little elf-like "pistachio" in Peng Yichen's heart.

Just when he had a headache for this role, and he couldn't prepare it, he just chose a more suitable child star to play it.

A child who often appears in the crew has caught his attention.

It's a coincidence to talk about this. There is a field worker in the crew named Wang Dagang, who is an old man in Chang'an Film Studio.

I have been married for more than ten years without children, and ten years ago I went to Guanyin Temple to ask for a child, but I didn't expect to come back and my daughter-in-law became pregnant, and I gave birth to a son the next year.

He also didn't have much education, so he gave the child a simple name Wang Qing.

This Wang Qing has liked movies since he was a child, and has been playing with his father in various crews of Chang'an Film Studio.

When Peng Yichen was ordered to come to Chang'an Film Studio to shoot anti-war movies instead of Wu Tianliang, Wang Qing and the others happened to be on summer vacation.

So, this kid has time to run to the set every day to play.

Peng Yichen hadn't noticed this little guy at first.

Two days later, when he was about to make a transition after shooting a scene, Peng Yichen realized how a child was helping to move things.

He walked over and took a closer look, only to see that the child was tall and thin, with a big head on his slender neck, and his eyes were dripping and rolling, and he looked like a simple, kind, intelligent and clever child.

Looking at it this way, isn't this the person I've been looking for? The image of the protagonist's son in the movie and this child are highly overlapped.

Peng Yichen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get them.

Although I already wanted this child to play the son of the male protagonist in the movie.

But for the sake of insurance, Peng Yichen still asked the child's father, Wang Dagang, to call over.

In front of his father, Wang Qing was given a simple interview.

"Hello, little friend. I am Peng Yichen, the director of this film. Peng Yichen shook hands with the little boy Wang Qing very formally.

Wang Qing may have never seen this kind of scene, and he was still a little scared and reserved, "Uncle Director, hello." My name is Wang Qing, I came to the crew with my father to help today, I didn't dare to do anything bad. ”

Peng Yichen squatted down and said to Wang Qing with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, uncle just looks at you, more like the role of a little boy in our movie, I want to ask you to perform, are you interested in acting in movies?"

Wang Qing was relieved when he heard that Peng Yichen was not looking for trouble with him and his father, this time he breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, tilted his head and asked, "What does the director's uncle mean, is it for me to act like another little boy in front of the camera, and then memorize the lines, right?"

When Peng Yichen heard this, this little guy seemed to be very clear about the process of movie shooting, so he simply said directly: "Yes, uncle now wants to see if you can play other little boys, can you perform a few expressions according to your uncle's request, and then say a few lines." ”

Wang Qing confirmed that Peng Yichen was asking him to be an actor, and smiled excitedly: "No problem, I often play this kind of game with my friends." ”

Peng Yichen nodded, "You first perform a happy laughing expression." ”

Wang Qing thought about it and didn't perform immediately, but asked, "Uncle Director, can you make it clear, what am I laughing at happily?"

Peng Yichen was shocked, and said with a quiet smile on his face: "Is the reason for being happy important?"

Wang Qing smiled: "Of course, the food at home is good, I laugh like this......"

Speaking of this, he laughed "hahaha", and as he laughed, he wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, as if he was about to drool.

"If I have a good test score and my mother praises me, I laugh like this......"

After speaking, he first squinted his eyes and shyly touched the back of his head, and then "squeaked" and laughed.

"If my dad bought me a new toy, I laugh like this......"

He took a few steps back, then quickly rushed over, bent down as if pushing a toy car, and kept saying, "Haha, it's fun, haha, it's fun." ”

At this point in the performance, Wang Qing stood up again and asked Peng Yichen embarrassedly: "Uncle Director, you see that I have several happy smiles, which one do you mean?"

At this time, let alone Peng Yichen, even Wang Dagang, the father of the child next to him, looked stupid.

Maybe Wang Qing's performance just now is far from professional.

But for a child who is only about ten years old, it is already a very amazing performance to be able to observe so many ways of laughing happily in daily life so carefully and meticulously, and then naturally perform it in front of Peng Yichen.

His understanding and spirituality of performance are the only ones Peng Yichen has seen in his life.

Seeing Wang Qing, Peng Yichen finally understood what it meant to be a grandfather to enjoy food.

Next, Peng Yichen turned on the camera and asked Wang Qing to perform several performances, and even a few small clips in the movie.

In front of the camera, Wang Qing not only did not have any fear and cringe, but behaved more relaxedly.

Before each performance, Wang Qing would carefully ask why he was crying, why he was laughing, and why he wanted to say this line.

Then, he will also analyze Peng Yichen, how to cry more realistically, how to laugh more beautifully, and which lines are not the way children speak at all.

watched Wang Qing analyze various performance methods like an adult, and then mobilized his most real reactions and emotions as a child, and successfully completed all the performance requirements.

Peng Yichen couldn't help but have the illusion that this child was also a traverser.

But after his various temptations, he found that Wang Qing was no different from ordinary children in other aspects except for his talent in acting, which surpassed ordinary children or even half of adults.

In the end, he also had to admit that there really was a genius in this world.

Regardless of whether Wang Qing is a genius in acting or not, for Peng Yichen, this child is the most suitable person to play the son of the actor in the movie.

Therefore, Wang Qing became one of the protagonists of Peng Yichen's latest anti-war movie in ignorance.

This comedy anti-war movie finally made up the last piece of the puzzle on the fourth day after the official start-up.

Peng Yichen finally put his mind at ease and was ready to enter the world of this movie immediately to experience the touching and legendary life under the flames of war.

He vowed that he must go all out to share this most classic anti-war movie from his previous life with the audience of this world.
