Chapter 96: Nicknamed "Monday"
Playing a role older than himself, Zhou Bai deliberately cut his hair into a round head in accordance with the director's requirements, and on the day of filming, makeup is also essential, in order to get closer to the appearance of his thirties, the makeup artist spent a lot of time on his face, making the skin duller, and deliberately adding some stubble to the cheeks.
Putting on a pair of thin-rimmed round glasses and changing into a costume, the make-up artist is very pleased with his work, and the image of a rough, somewhat raunchy playwright comes to life.
Among the actors in this movie, Zhou Bai found that he could almost be ranked among the youngest, and even Chen Kun, who played Nie Er, was older than Zhou Bai, although Zhou Bai was more mature than him in terms of physiognomy.
In fact, when he knew that Zhou Bai was going to play Tian Han, Chen Kun was stupid, he didn't know what words to use to describe his mood, and he felt incredible about the director's choice, even if he knew that Zhou Bai's professional ability was very good, but was there really no problem?
Speaking of which, the actor Li Yanqiu, who plays the actor's wife Sophie in the play, is almost a round older than Zhou Bai, and the actor Yi Chunde, who plays the female college student Lin Xueli, is Zhou Bai's senior sister, a 93-level Chinese opera actor, and now a Mandarin actor, this thing is amazing when you think about it, and it also makes everyone have great doubts about whether Zhou Bai can play the role of Tian Han well.
When Zhou Bai came out after putting on makeup, everyone looked left and right around Zhou Bai, sighing again and again, and even Li Yanqiu deliberately stood beside Zhou Bai to let everyone see if there was any disobedience, and finally had to sigh that Zhou Bai after makeup had no problems with his appearance.
"Yes, yes, my son, I look like a man in his thirties, I was too young before, and I don't look like a family. Mrs. Zheng Yuzhi said with a sigh that she played Tian Han's mother in the play.
"The old lady is right, yesterday Zhou Bai, you and Sister Yanqiu really didn't look like husband and wife, like sisters and brothers, and now they look like a lot of matches. Chen Kun nodded and sighed.
"Stinky boy, you're turning around and saying I'm always talking, right?" Li Yanqiu nodded in agreement, but suddenly reacted, doesn't this mean that he is old.
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's just a sigh, Sister Yanqiu, you look mature and beautiful now, so you look like his sister, it's all Zhou Bai's fault, who would have thought that he would play Tian Han." Chen Kun hurriedly explained.
"I think you kid just owe scolding, but I'm your boss, and you threw the pot at me when you said the wrong thing, which is not kind. Zhou Bai said with a smile.
After Zhou Bai finished speaking, he found that everyone did not continue to joke, but looked at him in surprise.
"Uh, what's wrong?" Zhou Bai asked puzzled.
"Do you know how you speak now?" Chen Kun's eyes widened, and he asked blankly.
"Oh, this, this is the voice I specially designed for the character, I think the voice of Tian Han's character should be deeper and thicker, so as to be more in line with the requirements of the character. Zhou Bai waved his hand and said, suddenly realizing that it was because of this.
Zhou Bai didn't know that as soon as he opened his mouth just now, everyone was shocked, his voice was deep, low and clear, and it was very natural, making people feel that this was a mature and stable person in his thirties speaking as soon as he heard the voice.
"How did you do that, I know you used some line skills, but it's too natural. Chen Kun asked curiously, they are all actors, of course he has also learned these line skills, it is difficult to find the right voice, but Zhou Bai's voice is not the slightest abrupt, it is very natural, this difficulty is too great.
"Practice, I found the feeling for almost a week, before I found the right intonation, and then practiced repeatedly, and the daily speech is like this, constantly recorded, and then listened, where it is not natural, I will find a way to modify, and I have just mastered it in almost a month. Zhou Bai explained that in order to find the right tone, he also asked Yuan Yu to help him, and even the people in the dormitory tossed him a lot.
"Good boy, with your research energy, sooner or later you will become a corner. Mrs. Zheng Yuzhi smiled with satisfaction and encouraged him with emotion,
The old lady is not an ordinary person, she is now a well-known performing artist recognized in the drama industry, and now she is a national first-class actor and an alternate member of the Central Committee of the Democratic League.
Getting the old lady's praise was just a small episode during Zhou Bai's filming, and in fact, he still had to face a lot of tests during the shooting.
Jinling Pukou Railway Station, the only railway station with the characteristics of the Republic of China in China, has a history of 90 years, and many important historical events have occurred here in modern times.
Mr. Zhu's famous prose "Back" tells the story of his father sending him north at this Nanjing Pukou Railway Station; at the beginning of the 20th century, when Taizu sent students studying in France to the magic capital, he lost a pair of cloth shoes here; when Mr. Sun's coffin arrived here, he held the "Feng'an Ceremony" to welcome the soul here, and Deng Gong and Mr. Chen once crossed the river here and drove into the presidential palace.
The railway station to 04 years on the permanent suspension of the whole line, after the transformation, including the main building of the railway station after the exterior repair of the interior as a train history museum, platform, rain corridor, Zhongshan Lingling platform and other repairs, the area outside the station retains the existing railway, port industry related to a number of buildings and signs, the entire area is built as a film and television base.
The beginning of the "National Anthem" movie was filmed here, the actor took Nie Er and several members of the Dadao Drama Club to find students from the Northeast here, at this time the Northeast fell, Tian Han, as a patriotic playwright, in order to make his drama more real, he specially came here to find someone, and then he was followed by two spies, and also reprimanded the two spies.
It was also here that he met Qi Baishan, a college student in exile in Northeast China, and Lin Xueli, the lover of Qi Baishan, who was also a college student in exile.
The first scene is a group scene, Zhou Bai is facing a lot of pressure, but the actor, how can it always be smooth, he has to withstand the pressure and adjust his state.
The train station was bustling, the crowd was surging, and in the crowd, Zhou Bai, who was wearing a thick tweed coat and carrying a shoulder bag, was walking, with a somewhat dignified expression and a vigilant look.
The pace became slower and slower, and the two figures behind him also slowed down, and suddenly, Zhou Bai turned his head, the two figures stopped, and Zhou Bai looked at the two people with a look of scrutiny and a little impatience.
"What are you always following me for? You have been following me for more than ten days, Dongying people?" Zhou Bai's voice was deep and low.
The two actors who played the spy did not speak, and one of them shook his head.
"I don't see you like Chinese. Zhou Bai was a little angry and disdainful.
"Your name is Tian Han, thirty-three years old, from Shonan. The younger agent said, reporting the identity of the protagonist.
Zhou Bai just wanted to speak, but Chen Kun came from behind: "Mr. Tian, the train is coming, let's go over." ”
Zhou Bai glanced at Chen Kun, then exchanged glances from the two spies, and turned around and left without saying a word.
Chen Kun turned his head to the two spies and said, "Scum!"
"Click! This one!" Wu Ziniu's voice sounded, the opening scene of the train station was finally over, Zhou Bai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he felt annoyed.
is just this simple plot, in fact, a whole dozen were filmed, not Zhou Bai's problem, but the young actors who played the two spies always failed to meet the director's requirements, and had to reshoot.
On the first day of filming, Zhou Bai got the nickname "Zhou Yiyi", because he really maintained an excellent state and level of filming throughout the day, and all the individual shots were passed, and every NG was because other actors made mistakes, and he never missed, which made the actors in the crew admire them so much.
"The actor is a powerful actor and a drama maniac" This has become the consensus of the crew, because some legends of Zhou Bai slowly spread in the crew.
