Chapter 728: Performing with Fake and Real
When Zhang Ran walked into the Modu Chedun Film and Television Base, it was half past seven in the morning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough it was still early, a group of reporters were already waiting inside the base.
Since last week, Zhang Ran has taken the crew to the magic capital to shoot "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", and this part of the drama is particularly concentrated. With the appearance of superstars such as Zhou Xingchi and Liu Dehua one after another, not only the tourists at the base were overjoyed, but also the media were happy, and reporters have been squatting at the base every day in recent days.
When Zhang Ran came to the set, Han Shanping, Li Xuejian and the crew almost arrived. When they saw Zhang Ran coming, they got up to greet him.
After Zhang Ran sat down in the director's position, he looked up and found that Yu Feihong's face was gloomy and his mental state was not good, and asked: "Feihong, did you play mahjong with Chen Daoming again last night?"
Yu Feihong smiled embarrassedly, and really let Zhang Ran say, she played mahjong with Chen Daoming and them last night, and she was abused by Chen Daoming again.
In this life's "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", because of Zhang Ran's participation, the actors have undergone a lot of changes, and the stars of Huayi and the Beijing circle have basically been excluded, such as Ge You's role has been replaced by Stephen Chow, and Feng Xiaogang's role has been replaced by Li Xuejian.
In the previous life "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", Song Meiling was played by Wu Junmei, she actually acted quite well, but Zhang Ran felt that Yu Feihong was more suitable, and when she was not filming, she could also be an assistant to herself and help in the crew, so Wu Junmei was replaced.
Yu Feihong usually likes to play mahjong, while Chen Daoming is a non-changeable player, and the two naturally learn from each other after they meet. Chen Daoming's level of mahjong playing is extremely high, and he has won the championship in the competition; where will Yu Feihong be his opponent, he will naturally be beaten to lose his armor.
"Feihong didn't lose much! Jianxin and I lost badly!" Zhang Guoli took over the conversation and put on a sad face and said, "I'm the worst, I almost lost my pants!"
Huang Jianxin touched his scalp and sighed: "The old Taoist brand skills are good, and the luck has been strong recently, and the gods can't stop it when they come!"
Zhang Guoli sighed and said: "Not only did I lose my salary, but I also posted a lot, these few months have been in vain!"
Zhang Ran laughed and said: "This Chen Daoming is too unauthentic, and he is ruthless, I have heard that he won other people's salaries in the crew before, but I didn't expect it to be the same this time." Well, that's not right, everyone is paid zero this time!" He looked at Yu Feihong and asked, "How much did you lose?"
Yu Feihong smiled embarrassedly: "I lost more than five thousand." ”
Zhang Ran said with a smile: "Fortunately, he doesn't have many scenes, so he left after filming, otherwise I don't know how much you will lose." After laughing, Zhang Ran stood up and said to Huang Jianxin: "It's not too early, don't gossip!" Director Huang, you and Feihong and Guoli went to Nanjing Road, and took the footage of Du Yuesheng coming to see Jiang Jingguo in a rickshaw, and I took someone upstairs to take a picture of Jiang Jingguo meeting the reporter. Come over after filming, and then let's shoot the confrontation between Du Yuesheng and Chiang Ching-kuo! Let's go our separate ways!"
An hour and a half later, Chiang Ching-kuo finished filming in front of reporters talking eloquently. Next, Du Yuesheng, played by Li Xuejian, appeared and confronted Jiang Jingguo, but Huang Jianxin's scene had not yet been filmed, and Zhang Ran and they could only wait. While waiting for the play, Zhang Ran talked and laughed with a group of staff. Occasionally, extras came to ask for a group photo and shook hands, and Zhang Ran also behaved very cordially.
After a few minutes, Han Shanping led a seventy or eighty-year-old lady and a middle-aged man in his fifties to the set and introduced Zhang Ran: "This is Du Yuesheng's daughter Du Meiru, and this is Ms. Du's son Du Wei! They have watched Li Xuejian's "New Shanghai Beach" and feel that Feng Jingyao played by Li Xuejian is very similar to Mr. Du Yuesheng. ”
Zhang Ran didn't expect that it would be Du Yuesheng's daughter and grandson who would come to visit the class, so he quickly asked Wu Ershan to move two chairs for them, and said to the old lady: "It's great that you can come, and you can help us check it later." ”
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Li Xuejian and his entourage finally came over.
Zhang Ran asked, "Why have you been waiting for you for so long?"
Huang Jianxin spread his hands and said helplessly: "No way, Guoli is too popular, as soon as we arrived on Nanjing Road, we attracted a large group of tourists to watch, those middle-aged women were so excited to see Zhang Guoli, they were even crazier than Andy Lau's fans." In the end, we could only drive Zhang Guoli away and let him rest in the car, so that we could film quietly. ”
Zhang Ran laughed and said: "I have seen a survey, among women over 50 years old, the popularity of Guoli is much higher than that of Andy Lau. ”
Zhang Guoli also laughed: "Is 50 years old a little older? I think in the group over 40 years old, I have a very advantage in the face of Andy Lau." ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and he was quite confident!
Zhang Ran called him Li Xuejian over and introduced Du Meiru and his son to him. Li Xuejian was taken aback when he heard that it was Du Yuesheng's descendant, and hurriedly greeted the old lady.
Ten minutes later, when the filming began, Chen Kungang said impassionedly: "Jingguo is here this time, only fighting tigers, not flies." ”
The reporter played by Cao Bingkun asked, "Can Mr. Jiang reveal the specific method this time?"
Chen Kun was about to make an impassioned speech when a deep voice came: "The tiger is easy to fight." Chen Kun was slightly stunned, pressed the head, and looked at the person who spoke with a calm face.
Li Xuejian wore a hat, round old-fashioned sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and carried a civilization stick, and walked out slowly: "Iceberg, I'm afraid, Mr. Jiang can't move!"
In the hall, there was silence for a moment.
Chen Kun got up, walked to the center of the room, looked at Li Xuejian, and said coldly, "Who is this gentleman?"
Feng Li Xuejian took off his sunglasses, bowed slightly and said, "Hengshe Du Yuesheng." ”
Everyone present was dazzled, Mr. Li's performance was really amazing, his movements looked respectful on the surface, but there was a ruthlessness in his bones, a strong sense of dissatisfaction, which can be called a model of heroism.
Chen Kun groaned slightly, raised his head and said, "Mr. Du, a senior in the business world, still hopes to give advice. ”
"Dog Weiping, let the supervision officer arrest it. Li Xuejian finished this line quietly, and walked towards Chen Kun, "He violated the law of the country, I have nothing to say." But now there is another business in Shanghai Tang, which is hoarding supplies, driving up prices, peddling them on the black market, and ignoring government decrees. If the supervising officials don't care, I'm afraid they will have a hard time for President Chiang!"
"Stop!" Zhang Ran shouted, calling Li Xuejian over, "Teacher Li, the wrong line is 'If the supervisor doesn't care', let's do it again!"
Li Xuejian smiled embarrassedly: "It's smooth!"
Zhang Ran turned his head to look at Du Meiru and asked, "Ms. Du, what do you think?"
Du Meiru kept staring at Li Xuejian, who was wearing a long robe, and her expression was a little dazed, until Zhang Ran asked, she came back to her senses: "It looks like it, it looks like it, it's really too similar!"
Du Wei is in his fifties, about the same age as Li Xuejian, and now his mother actually lets her call Li Xuejian old lady in front of so many people, which is really a little unspeakable.
Everyone present was a little stupid, the old lady really regarded Teacher Li Xuejian as Du Yuesheng, and even let her son call Teacher Li the old lady! Teacher Li's acting skills are too good, it has really reached the level of being fake!
Zhang Ran was also stunned, he had heard people say before that when Li Xuejian first played Lin Biao, because he acted too well and too similarly, when Liu Shaoqi's wife Wang Guangmei came on stage to meet the actors, her emotions couldn't be reversed and she refused to shake hands with Li Xuejian. Zhang Ran originally thought that there might be an exaggeration in this matter, but this time he really saw it!
Li Xuejian looked a little embarrassed, this is to make people call me grandpa, it doesn't matter if it's a child, but others are about the same age as me, this can't help it! He immediately said: "Don't, I can't stand it!"
Du Meiru insisted: "Call the old lady!"
Seeing that his mother was so persistent, Du Wei was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he respectfully shouted at Li Xuejian: "Old lady!"
In a wave of exclamations, filming resumed. Filming until eleven o'clock, the confrontation between Du Yuesheng and Jiang Jingguo was finally filmed, and Du Meiru left with her son satisfied.
Just as Zhang Ran announced that the morning's shooting was over, Han Shanping walked over with a middle-aged man in his fifties who looked quite stylish.
Han Shanping pointed to the middle-aged man beside him with a smile and said, "Zhang Ran, let me introduce you." This is Ren Zhonglun, chairman of Shanghai Film Group, and also the executive vice chairman and secretary general of the Magic City International Film Festival. ”
When Zhang Ran heard that it was the chairman of Shangying Group, he quickly stretched out his hand and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Ren, who has admired his name for a long time!"
Ren Zhonglun shook Zhang Ran's hand with a smile, and said very politely: "I have admired President Zhang's name for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet, and today I got my wish." ”
Zhang Ran knew that Ren Zhonglun would not appear here for no reason, so he said: "Mr. Ren is polite, Mr. Ren should have something to do when he came over this time, right?"
Ren Zhonglun was slightly stunned, he really didn't expect Zhang Ran to be so direct, so he said: "Yes, I came here today to invite Mr. Zhang to be the award guest of the Magic Capital Film Festival and attend the forum of the film festival." Now the financial crisis is very serious, and the film industry in many countries has been greatly impacted, but only China is still growing rapidly. How should Chinese films seize the opportunity to realize the barrier-free connection between film creation and the film market? Therefore, the film festival invited some outstanding young directors to discuss what kind of films are needed in the Chinese film market. ”
Zhang Ran has no interest in these forums at all, and thinks that a few insiders are talking to themselves there, which will not have any impact on the film and the film industry, and it is a pure waste of time. He responded politely: "It's my honor for Mr. Ren to invite me to participate in the seminar, but I really can't leave, we have a lot of guest stars in this drama, and they all made an appointment with others, and they will leave after filming." The award was held at night, and I could participate, but the forum was during the day, so I really couldn't help it, so forget it this time!"
The influence of the Magic City Film Festival in the international community is quite limited, and it is at the bottom of the A-class film festival, especially in need of big names like Zhang Ran. In recent years, the film festival has sent Zhang Ran many invitations, but he has refused. Recently, Zhang Ran was filming in the magic capital, which was a rare opportunity, so Ren Zhonglun personally came to the door to send out an invitation.
Seeing that Zhang Ran refused again, Ren Zhonglun glanced at Han Shanping and motioned to help him talk.
Han Shanping and Ren Zhonglun are friends, and this favor must be helped: "It takes half a day to participate in the forum, and I can't delay the shooting, besides, isn't there still me, I watched it for half a day." Seeing that Zhang Ran didn't speak, he said again: "What, do you doubt my level?"
Zhang Ran said in his heart, it's not that I doubt your level, you really don't have any level! Of course, this must not be said. He groaned and said, "That's it, since the two bosses have spoken, I must give this face, when is the forum?"
Ren Zhonglun laughed: "Two o'clock in the afternoon on the 20th!"
Zhang Ran thought about the arrangements for the day, nodded and said, "I must arrive." ”
