Chapter 52: People in Embarrassment (I)

52. People are embarrassed (I)

The production company of "People in Embarrassment" is Wuhan Huaqi Film and Television Production Company, and the distributors are the Imperial Capital China Film United Film and Television Company and Huaxia Film Distribution Company, and the major shareholder of Huaxia Film Distribution Company is China Film Group, which in turn is the distribution company of "October Siege".

After listening to Sister Fan's explanation, Han Fei finally understood why the people of China Film recommended him to play this role. The theory of six degrees of separation is really not wrong, although it is a little messy, the relationship between Han Fei and "People in Embarrassment" does not exceed six people.

On January 10, in the imperial capital, a studio of Beijing Film Studio.

The time was just after eight o'clock, the crew did not officially start work, the staff in the studio were busy arranging props, and the director Ye Weiming had a fixed head, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, the whole person looked extraordinary, holding a megaphone in his hand, and was directing his subordinates in his special rookie Hong Kong Island Mandarin.

Before coming, Han Fei checked a certain degree of encyclopedia, it turned out that Director Ye used to be the screenwriter of "Changing Stars", the assistant director of the movie "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and a few years ago, he gave director Chen Kexin a hand and filmed part of the plot of "Casting Names".

The economy of Hong Kong films and Hong Kong Island has been declining, and the economic situation of mainland film and television with the take-off is ushering in its own golden age.

According to Sister Fan's news, although the people of China Film recommended Han Fei, it was this literary producer who finally made the decision.

"Hello producer, I'm Han Fei, I've admired your name for a long time. As soon as Han Fei entered the studio, he saw Wen Jun sitting behind the monitor, and hurriedly went over to say hello, not only because of the kindness of others, but also because Han Fei grew up watching the movies he wrote or produced, which made him have a kind of respect.

"Crazy Boy" series, "Fengyun", "China's Last Eunuch", and even more bullish, Lao Jiang's "Sunny Days" was also supervised by him, it was more than nine years, Hong Kong Island was looking at mainlanders with nostrils at that time, he dared to invest one million to Lao Jiang at that time, and the final result was naturally good, Xia Yu was the actor.

Wen Jun is not tall, his hair is mottled with black and white, he smiled very kindly, like a little old man, and said: "Hello, Hou Shengzi, yes, I watched your performance in "October Siege", it is very good, maybe this year's Academy Awards will give you a nomination." ”

"You've won the award, I don't dare to think about the nomination, let's look at the sky. ”

"Ah, cooperation is the general trend now, and your performance is not bad, so there shouldn't be much of a problem with nomination. ”

Han Fei bowed slightly and said, "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words." ”

This is the former chairman of the Hong Kong Island Film Awards jury, and with his affirmation, Han Fei's heart will inevitably fan the wind like a fan, cool and beautiful.

Then Wen Jun led him to say hello to the director, Ye Weiming's attitude was not as good as Wen Jun, but he didn't have the kind of look down on people, probably the director's professional attitude towards actors.

Group performances have entered the scene one after another, and the director is still very particular about the details, there are people with various accents, this is like the Spring Festival, the largest population migration in human history, if they all speak Mandarin, is it possible?

In the past, Han Fei always felt that those scenes on planes and trains were actually filmed on real vehicles, but later he realized that he was really naive.

In the center of the shed is the old green train, the tracks stretch forward for some distance, and on both sides of the train are vertical boards, the pattern is a white snowy scene, and a few telephone poles stand in the lonely white field, which looks like that from the train.

At nine o'clock, all the actors were assembled, Xu Zheng didn't seem to like to talk much, which was completely different from his noisy and funny film and television image, but Wang Baoqiang remained consistent, no matter who he faced, he was grinning and smiling brightly.

The lighting is not bright, and the cold colors look quite depressing, which is especially suitable for the plot to be filmed today.

"All departments prepare, ACTION!"

The photographer stood in the aisle in the middle of the train with a camera, half-squatting, and photographed the crowd squeezed into the car on his back, as Xu Zheng entered the venue, the photographer slowly stood up, from flat shooting to upward shooting, and Xu Zheng was also squeezed into a helpless flat boat by the crowd, he held the ticket in his mouth, and finally found a seat and sat down.

In the next shot, Baoqiang enters.

"Hey, boss. Baoqiang smirked.

"Take your pot and find your own seat. Xu Zheng didn't want to deal with him at all.

Baoqiang searched for a while, but returned to Xu Zheng's seat.

"This is my seat. ”

"How can this be your seat, this is my seat. ”

"What's that number?"

"What are you?"

Baoqiang took the ticket, as if he had found a treasure, and laughed: "Hey, our tickets are the same." ”

Han Fei has been observing the performance of the two behind the monitor, in all fairness, Baoqiang is really good at playing this kind of stupid role, this is not a derogatory meaning, it is not easy to play a fool, at least Han Fei thinks that he can't control it, a fool becomes a fool as soon as he goes overboard, and the typical representative is the bankrupt version of Baoqiang - Bao Belle.

"Yes. Ye Weiming was quite satisfied with Xu Zheng and Baoqiang's performances, and waved his hand directly into the next performance.

The next scene was filmed Xu Zheng knew that his ticket was fake, and he couldn't help it, so he and Baoqiang took turns to sit in that seat, this kind of scene is a basic operation for both of them, one is a delicate egoist, the other is a kind-hearted fool, there is no pressure, and several shots are all in one shot.

Han Fei has never made a comedy, his serious comedy attempt is the drama "Charlotte's Troubles", although he finally won the award for the Chinese opera, but after reviewing his performance, he always felt that he and his classmates were deliberately trying to be funny, just like the sketch at a large-scale party watched nationwide in some years, he had to forcibly shout slogans, which was particularly awkward.

This time, I watched the performances of two of the best comedies in the world, and I felt like I was about to knock on the door of a new world.

The expressions of the two people in the camera look exaggerated, stupid is really stupid, fine is really fine, but every action and expression is not a trace of artificiality, the plot is smoothly postponed, every detail is under control, the group performers in the carriage are sitting in the VIP viewing seats, and they are all laughing hard.

Han Fei sighed in his heart, this is really the ancestral master's appreciation.

At about half past ten, it was finally Han Fei's turn to play, that is, Xu and Wang were very skilled, and changing two actors really didn't have this effect.
