Chapter 85: The Finish in the Toss

In the years before and after liberation and before the special period, cadres who went to work in the countryside were not allowed to engage in specialization, and they could not eat on their own stoves and on fires, but had to eat with the peasants.

To put it simply, families take turns to eat, arranged by the village, and this kind of thing is unique to that era.

Luo Changyu lives in the village government, and he doesn't cook himself, but "eats pie rice" in Sanhetun, and this day it was finally Tian Zhaodi's turn.

In fact, Luo Changyu can stay in Sanhetun to teach for decades, and even finally ran around to build a new school and died of a heart attack, in addition to his feeling that rural education is his mission, and his experience of "eating pie rice" in various households has nothing to do with it, where he feels simple and sincere emotions, so he is willing to dedicate his years.

Tian Zhaodi was extremely important to Luo Changyu coming to her house for dinner, so she was busy all morning, and Lao Mouzi had already shot these shots before.

"Let's go!" Lao Mouzi shouted behind the monitor, and the rest of Zhou Bai's scenes officially started filming.

When Zhou Bai walked towards the house on the village road, Zhang Ziyi was standing at the door of the outhouse, her eyes looking this way, and the door was open.

She stands here as if she were standing in a painting, the door frame is the edge of the painting, and she is the person in the painting.

In the hazy and innocent morning light, this painting is blurry and real, so charming.

As soon as Zhou Bai arrived outside the hospital, Zhang Ziyi greeted him, looked at him, did not speak, and his eyes were so eager.

"Stop!" Lao Mouzi shouted, Zhou Bai and Zhang Ziyi stopped performing and looked over to him, only to see Lao Mouzi thinking with Zou eyebrows and not speaking.

Zhang Ziyi's performance just now was fine, but he always felt that something was missing, so he decided to shoot a few more to find a feeling.

After thinking about it for a while, Lao Mouzi recruited Zhou Bai and Zhang Ziyi to his side and re-narrated the drama to the two of them, I don't know how many times this has happened in this month, especially Zhang Ziyi, Lao Mouzi's drama has reached a subtle point.

What is the advantage of meeting a good director, of course, is that he will use his vision and his unique way of thinking to tell you the play, which greatly broadens the scope of your imagination and thinking in acting, allows you to make mistakes, and also exercises your ability to transform.

In a month, Zhou Bai's performance became more and more delicate under the training of Lao Mouzi, and he definitely benefited a lot.

Acting is not something that can be done just by being talented, especially in movies.

Although the style of film performance is mainly plain and natural, and it is a highly life-oriented performance, it is not that you can act if you have life experience and talent.

How to mobilize emotions when an actor performs, how to dig deep into the inner feelings of the character, how to fully display it, what kind of performance should be used in what position, and to what extent the performance is just right, these are all knowledge, and the doorway inside is deep.

There are very few talented Chinese actors, but there are still very few good actors.

The form of performance is different, the training of actors is also different, the focus of dramas, TV series, and movies is completely different, and the style of actors will be different.

For example, drama performances have particularly high requirements for body and lines, and continuous explosiveness has high requirements, that is, performance must have energy, so many actors from drama are generally considered to be acting schools, because film and television performances are much easier for them.

There are many people who act on TV and feel very good, and their acting skills are very good, but when they get to the movie, they don't seem to know how to act, and they act in a mess, just because the movie magnifies the actors' shortcomings, and such a big screen is like watching the actors' performances with a magnifying glass, and it will inevitably be exposed.

filmed almost ten in a row, Lao Mouzi was still not satisfied, Zhou Bai and Zhang Ziyi both felt the pressure, and they had tried their best to maintain their state and adjust, but the director still didn't give it.

Especially Zhang Ziyi, her face was a little bad, and she was a little overwhelmed in her heart, because the camera was on her.

Lao Mouzi was thinking there, Zhou Bai was also pondering, and the other staff members didn't dare to come out, for fear of upsetting the director.

Lao Mouzi is still thinking about it, it is not the actor's fault that he has filmed so many films, Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Bai have changed their performance modes according to what he said, in fact, Lao Mouzi just felt that the performance just now was not perfect, but he couldn't catch that little bit of inspiration now.

This is also a very painful thing, directors such as literary diseases or perfectionists are like this, sometimes they feel that they are not perfect enough, something is missing, it doesn't feel right, something like this, tossing the actors over and over, and Nima is like hitting the wall every minute by changing people.

"I think the director is a little messy now, you can try to laugh later, smile shyly, look at each other boldly, pay attention to the level, and then see if the director is satisfied?" Zhou Bai approached Zhang Ziyi's side and touched her with his elbow and said.

"Is this okay?" Zhang Ziyi said with some uncertainty, and she didn't know the bottom in her heart.

"Try it, it's a waste at most anyway. Zhou Bai shrugged and said, he didn't understand what kind of effect Zhang Yimou wanted, anyway, he was not satisfied with the previous performance, it was better to simplify, pay attention to the level, and try your luck.

Now he is very open, although Lao Mouzi doesn't like to talk very much, and he is also very strict when directing, Zhang Ziyi was scolded by him a lot at the beginning, but after a month of contact, he also knows that Lao Mouzi is the kind of director who only focuses on movies, and he is a very good person.

"Director, why don't we try it ourselves, you can see if you are satisfied, and if you are not satisfied, we will adjust it?" Zhou Bai turned his head and asked.

"Okay, then let's try. Lao Mouzi thought about it for a while, and now there is no good way, I feel that this kind of thing is difficult to say, and it is a good thing for actors to have their own ideas.

Zhou Bai and Zhang Ziyi continued to reset, and then took a new one.

As the camera began, Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Bai once again performed the previous plot, at this time, because there was just a ray of light shining on Zhang Ziyi's face, it looked more soft, and the camera faithfully captured it.

"Okay! Lao Mouzi is very satisfied, and he is very satisfied with the effect of this article, not only because of it, but also because of the adjustment of the performance and the benefit of "accidental" natural light, all of which are indispensable.

This shot has also become a classic shot of the movie, which is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

……

As soon as Zhou Bai entered the door, Mrs. Li Bing's voice came from the back room: "Di'er, is the teacher here?"

Zhang Ziyi responded: "It's here." ”

Then Li Bing continued: "I'll just say, it's not your footsteps...... Come into the room, let me see what he looks like?"

Zhou Bai entered the back room, and Zhang Ziyi also followed.

"Child, come here, come quickly, let me see you......" The old lady moved her body a few times as she spoke, moved to the edge of the kang, held the edge of the kang with one hand, stretched out the other hand out of thin air, and gently stroked.

Zhou Bai was a little overwhelmed, and his limbs were a little stiff.

"My mother's eyes are broken. ”

The expression on Zhou Bai's face relaxed a little, and his eyes were still a little distressed when he looked at Zhang Ziyi, and then walked over.

"What a good young man! Look at it like a good young man! Look at this face, look at this cheeks! Look at this earlobe! Look at this nose bone! Look at this thick lips......" The old lady's hand touched Zhou Bai's face.

Zhou Bai's discomfort was not obvious, and his reaction was very natural.

"You are such a good young man, you will marry my brother and be my daughter-in-law!" said the old lady suddenly.

Zhou Bai's face flushed, and then he smiled a little shyly.

……

Zhang Ziyi took the dishes, brought a celadon bowl with green onion cakes, and brought chopsticks, "Let's go to the pit to eat." ”

In the north of this era, meals are all on the kang, you need to sit cross-legged at the table, and when there are guests at home, you can only be accompanied by the host of the house, and others need the guests to eat before eating.

Zhou Bai took off his shoes and got on the kang, "Great god, Zhaodi, let's eat together." ”

"You are a guest, you eat first. Zhang Ziyi said, Li Bing listened and nodded.

Zhou Bai picked up the chopsticks, Zhang Ziyi pushed the celadon bowl towards Zhou Bai, Zhou Bai didn't react, picked up the green onion cake and ate it, eating it very deliciously.

"How long has it been since there been a man in the family to eat?

"Do you recognize my bowl?" is this celadon ......", Zhang Ziyi asked, Zhou Bai swallowed the food in his mouth, and then picked up the bowl and looked at it, with some doubts on his face.

"I don't recognize it. ”

The old lady smiled and said, "But it's really blind to Zhao Di'er's heart, building a school to eat a public meal, she is doing it in a different way, so she expects you to eat! You are a teacher...... I sent it with this bowl. ”

Zhou Bai immediately understood, some emotion and tenderness flashed in his eyes, and then he immediately said, "If you want to talk about eating a public meal?" ”

"Have you done it?" Zhang Ziyi didn't believe it, and asked a little seriously.

"I said, it's a little familiar!" Zhou Bai said with some panic in his eyes.

But Zhang Ziyi saw it, and she continued to ask, "You also ate the rice in the bowl?"

"Eat, eat. Zhou Bai said conclusively.

Zhang Ziyi looked at Zhou Bai, and then said, "You ate, then you say, what have you eaten?"

Zhou Bai couldn't react, a trace of panic and embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but he didn't know how to answer.

"Let me tell you! I sent green onion oil cakes on the first day, millet dry rice and scrambled eggs with leeks on the second day, and steamed dumplings with mushroom stuffing on the third day...... Zhang Ziyi said like a treasure."

Zhou Bai looked at Zhang Ziyi in a daze, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.

……

In a month, Zhou Bai's scenes were all filmed, and when he played the last scene, he felt that Lao Mouzi had already changed his way to toss everyone, and he filmed this scene for three days, Hou Yong's camera was all close-up on the faces of the two actors, and after filming, Zhou Bai simply felt that the whole person was hollowed out.

After the filming of his film is over, it also means that his first film performance has ended, and the final effect will not be known until the movie is released.

In the evening, Lao Mouzi held a small finale banquet for Zhou Bai, which was actually a whole delicious meal, and then everyone chatted together, because he was going back to school to make up for classes the next day.

Chinese opera students can come out to film after their sophomore year, but if they miss the course, they have to go back to school to make up for the class, which is the same for everyone.

There is no way to have fun drinking, because Lao Mouzi has a bad stomach, and Zhou Bai and Zhang Ziyi took care of him during the filming, Zhou Bai didn't want to drink Lao Mouzi because of his role.

Lao Mouzi had been refusing to stop filming before, and insisted on enduring stomach pain, so Zhou Bai had to call home to ask for a prescription, and asked the staff to dispense some medicine for him to make him feel better, so everyone was actually chatting this night, there were many topics, all over the world, anyway, a nonsense until late.

The next day, Zhou Bai took the film crew's car early in the morning, left the Bashang grassland, and returned to the capital!
