Chapter 9 Is it the mule or the horse that comes out for a walk

9. It is the mule and the horse that comes out for a walk

When I came to Hengdian again, the treatment was completely different.

The first time, the weather was freezing and the night was thick, the two guys took the train to the car, ran around and worked hard, and finally came to Hengdian.

The second time, the weather was clear, the spring was just right, and it was the same two people, but this time the car was replaced by a business car, and the other person was replaced by an agent.

"The people of Hengdian are quite modest, and they didn't even write 'the first town in the south of the Yangtze River'. Sister Fan said while driving at the inscription of "A Town in the South of the Yangtze River" on the stone wall.

Han Fei suddenly felt a sense of familiarity surging into his heart, oh hey, I seem to have mentioned this myself, it's interesting.

He put down the line book in his hand, lowered the window and looked out, the infrastructure level of Hengdian has improved in the past few years, there is an additional green belt on both sides of this section of the road, and the street lights have also been updated, and the appearance is more lofty.

On the other side of the inscription stone wall, there is still a row of three jumpers parked in a staggered and orderly manner, the people seem to be still those people, but the face appears to be more vicissitudes, seeing the large and small buses stopping, enthusiastically soliciting the customers who came down, still the non-standard Mandarin: "Come on, take my car, my car skills are good, and the price is cheap." ”

Sister Fan lowered the speed of the car, kept looking at the people and things around her, and said: "There are quite a few tourists coming, hey, it's the crew's car, and there are stickers on the car." ”

"It's quite a lot, and you can summarize Hengdian Film and Television City in eight words. ”

"Which eight?"

Han Fei turned the line book like a book, and said with a smile: "Born out of nowhere, the store is a city." ”

Sister Fan looked at the co-pilot suspiciously, and asked, "Born out of nowhere, the store is a city? Interesting, have you been here? It seems that you are quite familiar with this place." ”

"Do you believe me when I said I came here as an extra?" Han Fei put down his line book, and the smile on his face became brighter.

Sister Fan didn't believe it at all, and replied: "I believe it, I believe in your evil, from the national competition of "Happy Boy" to now, you have filmed two dramas, either in southern Hunan or in the imperial capital, you are an extras out of your body?"

Han Fei explained: "Tsk, you still don't believe it, three hundred meters along this road is the actors' union, and when you get to the actors' union, there is a photo studio called Hongyun Photo Studio, and if you want to do a group performance, you have to go to the actors' union to get an actor card, and the voucher is free to enter and exit the major film and television bases, and then go to the photo studio to make a resume, and then go to the hotel where the crew is stationed to deliver it." ”

"You searched for it somewhere, right?" Sister Fan still didn't believe what Han Fei said, after all, since she became Han Fei's agent, she knew Han Fei's whereabouts, and it was impossible for her to sneak out as an extra.

Han Fei: "Yes, if you still don't believe me if I tell the truth, then I haven't been here." ”

……

Hong Kong Street, the giant bamboo archway has completed the final splicing work, the props group is divided into two ways, one way is checking whether the pattern and red cloth on the archway are pasted tightly, and the whole way is erecting a crane arm and tying wire ropes. Because of the narrow area of the film and television base, the crane cannot enter at all, and the lifting work can only be carried out by splicing small booms.

If you watch Jackie Chan's "Plan A Sequel" friends see this big archway, they will definitely shout that these two archways are cousins, the director is definitely borrowing from Jackie Chan's movie, does the director of Hong Kong Island have a plot of the archway?

"Is the boom ready?"

"The wire rope must be tightly tied, and everyone must wear hard hats. ”

"Be sure to take safety measures, and the guys who work on the top floor should tie the safety ropes. ”

The entire props group is methodically carrying out the final preparations for erecting the memorial arch, and the assistant director Lao Shangzheng is holding a loudspeaker in his hand and constantly reminding the staff who set up the memorial arch to pay attention to safety.

"The boom is in place, the top floor is fine. ”

"The cable connection is stable. ”

"The exterior is very tightly pasted. ”

The assistant director cleared his throat and shouted: "Raise the archway!"

Under an order, the crane arms on the top floor of the buildings on both sides of the street began to work, the soft and collapsed wire rope was slowly tightened, and the large archway placed flat on the ground slowly rose, and finally perpendicular to the ground after more than ten minutes, and the members of the other team of props hurriedly carried out the ground fastening work.

Seeing this situation, Director Chen Desheng, who had been sitting under the parasol, couldn't help but stand up, money is good, and Fuhuadao can get as close to the movie scene as possible, he has waited for four years, and now the soldiers are strong, the food and grass are sufficient, and it is time to do a big job.

At this time, the assistant came over from behind and reminded: "Director, Han Fei is here, I want to meet you first, and I am waiting for you in the lounge." ”

Chen Desheng was in a good mood at this time, and advised: "He is still quite at the right time, the archway has just been erected, you let the director keep an eye on the scene, I will go first, this young man is okay, the whole group is the first to come, the attitude is good." ”

The assistant replied, "I know, you can rest assured." ”

If you have money, you can really do whatever you want, the crew of "October Siege" has rounded up the entire Hong Kong street, and the lounge is placed on the second floor of a building along the street, and the furnishings inside are no different from those in the Republic of China era.

Han Fei sat on a round stool, writing and drawing in the line book, studying Li Chongguang's character and precautions when performing, the agent Sister Fan was more nervous than him, after all, this is a large group, from the perspective of actor composition, Han Fei is the least well-known one, and the director is from Hong Kong Island, so it is inevitable that there will be some different opinions, which makes her very worried about Han Fei's situation.

Sister Fan took a sip of mineral water to relieve her mood, and said to Han Fei: "Your mentality is better than mine, and you can calm down and memorize your lines." ”

Han Fei smiled, anyway, this is half of the home field, there is no need to be nervous, and said: "I know what you are worried about, it's okay, isn't the contract signed, it's not so easy to return me, besides, I don't think I'm worse than anyone, if you want to squeeze out me, you have to take some real skills." ”

"It's good that you have that mentality. Sister Fan tightened the cap of the water bottle and said.

Han Fei smiled and said nothing, and continued to make notes in the line book.

After a long time, the door of the lounge was pushed open from the outside, and a man in jeans and a white T-shirt walked in, with sparse hair and white temples, but fortunately he was not bald, and he looked tired and happy.

Hong Kong Island director Han Fei knows the appearance of Wang Sunglasses, Wang Fatzi, Wu Baige, the third uncle, etc., this Chen director Han Fei really didn't have an impression before, if he hadn't searched for it on a certain degree before coming, he probably thought it was a field worker at this time.

"Hello director, I'm Han Fei. Han Fei bowed slightly and said hello.

Chen Desheng was in a good mood at the moment, and his eyes glanced at the line book in Han Fei's hand again, only to see that lines of various colors were drawn on it, and a lot of annotations were densely written, and he couldn't help but glance at this young man again.

Chen Desheng sat down on the Taishi chair by the wall, smiled and said, "Hello, you came quite early, you were the first to come in the whole crew, among the famous actors." ”

Han Fei put down the line book and said, "I'm a newcomer, I came early to familiarize myself with the crew environment so that I can better integrate into the role." ”

As soon as the words changed, Chen Desheng put away the smile on his face and said, "Do you know that I originally wanted to find another actor for this role?"

Sister Fan glanced at Han Fei, for fear that he would say the wrong thing, and was about to interject, but Han Fei glanced at her, a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I know, I was forced into it because the company added investment, but I am confident that you will feel that I am the right choice." ”

Chen Desheng was also happy after listening to it, the young man was quite direct, and said with a smile: "Good courage, pretty boy, talk about your opinion on the character of Li Chongguang." ”

Han Fei nodded, thought of words in his mind, and replied after a while: "Li Chongguang, it turned out to be a rich kid, there is a stubbornness and rebellion in his character, but he has been trapped and oppressed by his father's majesty. He was able to get an admission letter from a famous foreign school, received the influence of advanced culture, and through the guidance of his teachers, he finally overcame the fear and confusion in his heart and became a progressive revolutionary youth who dared to sacrifice. ”

"Good. ”

Chen Desheng applauded after hearing this, and he said: "Your opinion is still good, but an actor is not equal to a film critic, not only must he be able to summarize, but he must also be able to perform. ”

"Director, it's a walk. Han Fei corrected with a smile and asked again: "You better ask the question, I know that you also want to test my level." ”

"I like direct young people, you are familiar with the script. ”

"I've watched it a few times. ”

With Chen Desheng just now, he had already given Han Fei a passing grade in his heart, and the current test was just to see if this young man could do better.

"Okay, then I'll play your old bean today, and try the scene of peeking at the forbidden book in the study. ”

Han Fei shrugged, noncommittal, just come, there's nothing to panic about.

"No problem, Lao Dou, can you make soup and drink it after the performance?"

"Yo, do you know Hong Kong Cantonese?"

"A little. ”

"Okay, let's get started. ”

It is said that Li Chongguang turned out to be a top rich second generation, his father is the largest printer in Guangdong and Hong Kong and the newspaper tycoon and businessman, according to the same trajectory as him at that time, he should go to study abroad, and then stay in a foreign country to enjoy it, but it is precisely because of the expansion of his horizons that he can see the advanced foreign countries and the backwardness of the motherland.

Han Fei grabbed a cloud of air on the table in a panic as a forbidden book, and pretended to open the drawer to hide the forbidden book, then sat upright and read it with a line book.

Chen Desheng walked over from behind, first looked at Han Fei's straight back, there was a young man's vigorous anger, and when he walked in front of Han Fei, he saw Han Fei's face calm, without a trace of panic at all, but looked at the line book calmly, as if his body and mind were immersed in the book, not disturbed by the outside world.

He coughed lightly, Han Fei stood up at this time, and when he saw that it was his father, his expression was a little cramped, his head was slightly lowered, and he didn't dare to look at his father's eyes.

Han Fei retracted his toes inward, folded his hands, clenched them tightly, and placed them on his lower abdomen, which was a defensive posture with a strong vigilance.

Chen Desheng saw it really well, this young man knew how to use the small details of the action to highlight the inner activities of the characters, and in his heart, Han Fei's score was added by one point.

Sister Fan, who was sitting on the side, saw that Chen Desheng had no expression on his face, and her heart became more and more nervous, but she couldn't drink a sip of mineral water to relieve it, so she sat motionless, for fear that making a little noise would affect Han Fei's performance.

"You. Chen Desheng pointed to the script book on the table, and said, "Are you reading?"

"Yes, father. Han Fei's body deviated slightly in the opposite direction, obviously a little resistant to his father's attitude.

"The day after tomorrow is your mother's death day. ”

"Yes, father. Han Fei continued to nod his head.

"Your face. Chen Desheng pointed at Han Fei's cheek with his finger, and his eyes changed from stern to kind.

Han Fei still lowered his head, but secretly peeked up with his eyes, his lips were closed tightly, and the muscles of his cheeks tensed up from the clenching of his teeth.

"Oh. He wiped the corners of his mouth and pretended that there was a grain of rice there.

These subtle movements are all seen by Chen Desheng, and the layman may not be able to see these doorways, just like this young man's agent, who is now nervous, he is a veteran who has been immersed in the film industry for many years, so he naturally observes these details.

He patted Han Fei on the shoulder, and finally laughed: "Okay, I'm relieved to see you acting like this." ”

Han Fei took a long breath, then stood up, bowed slightly and thanked: "Thank you for the director's affirmation, I will work harder." ”

Chen Desheng clapped his hands: "Okay, I like a young man like you, who is not tall but has little strength, come on." ”

"Thank you to the director for your support. Sister Fan, who was nervous on the side, finally put her mind at ease at this time, her expression turned cloudy, and she came over to thank her.

"Okay, you can go to the makeup team in the afternoon and shave your hair, I still have something to do, so I'll go first. After Chen Desheng finished speaking, he left with a smile.

As soon as the director left, Sister Fan sat back in her place with confidence, drank mineral water with a grunt, and a big stone fell to the ground, feeling extremely happy.

Han Fei pushed open the wooden window, the sun outside was warm, shining warmly on people, he looked at Sister Fan, and said with a smile: "I'll just say I'm fine, Sister Fan, you are more nervous than me." ”

Sister Fan glanced at Han Fei and said, "I'm not nervous for you, you think I'm nervous, okay, I'll take you to the makeup group to shave your head." ”

The one who should come will always come, he avoided shaving his head when he was doing a group performance, but this time he still didn't.

Han Fei has a little Han nationalism in his heart, and he is very tired of Qing court dramas, especially this yin and yang head, when he sees that pig tail, he always thinks of the humiliating history of the country.

"What are you doing in a daze, just shave your head, and make it look like you want to chop off your head. ”

"Oops, got it, got it. ”

Han Fei touched the three thousand troubles on his head, forget it, he is a progressive young man, who rebelled against the Qing government and greeted Mr. Sun, so shave it.
