Chapter Ninety-Four: The Movie Starts
In the next two days, Huang Peiren and Lao Lu looked for Li Dong every day, and they annoyed him so much that he couldn't do it.
The script of "Gift" was adapted from a short story retold by Li Dong, so Lao Lu spent a lot of thought when he wrote the script.
He added some plots and characters to it to make the plot of the whole movie more full.
So the two old guys pulled Li Dong every day and sat together to study the script.
Li Dong didn't know this, but he was forced by the two of them to have no choice, so he could only rack his brains to think about the classic movies in his previous life.
Although the opinions he put forward are often imaginative, and even the donkey's lips are not in the horse's mouth, sometimes it can really make Huang Peiren and Lao Lu have some inspiration in an instant.
Liu Qing's girl has stopped, Li Dong left her homework again, and now she puts her mind on the new script every day, and she no longer pesters Li Dong.
Finally, the movie officially started, and Li Dong escaped from the entanglement of the two old hooligans, but he was also busier, and he could only sleep a few hours a day.
In the next process of filming the movie, Li Dong played the role of drama director, and in addition to Liu Qingmei, a group of students from Kyoto Film Academy were added.
Although he doesn't have to do many things himself, he is also heartbroken every day, and he is responsible for all the chores such as eating, drinking, and Lazar for the crew.
Don't look at all the trivial things, but the such as carrying and carrying, buying food and water, etc., piled up, also made Li Dong very busy.
Fortunately, most of the scenes in this drama were filmed inside the Kyoto Film Academy, and there were very few exterior scenes, such as venues, props, costumes, etc., which could be solved inside the academy.
Moreover, Li Dong was a human being, after all, he had experienced a lot of things, so after only two days of chaos, his work was gradually on the right track.
In order to improve work efficiency, Li Dong specially set up several teams with different divisions of labor, such as the logistics group, props group, costume group, and service group, and then selected some students with strong ability to serve as team leaders.
Although these students of Kyoto Film Academy have little experience, they are extremely enthusiastic about their work, and they work hard even if they are not paid.
Every evening he would gather the leaders of each group and arrange the work for the next day.
The next morning, he would coordinate with several heads of various departments, and then communicate today's work with various departments.
As the drama work gradually got on the right track, Li Dong became more and more relaxed, and he soaked in the set every day, squatting behind the camera with Huang Peiren and Lao Lu.
Although he couldn't understand what was going on at all, Li Dong was still very interested in the process of making the movie, maybe this is what everyone thinks.
Huang Peiren and others are very satisfied with Wang Bo's performance, this is a real actor, the characters he portrays are delicate and real, just like living a life, without the slightest trace of performance.
In the eyes of Li Dong, a layman, Wang Bo's performance is comfortable to watch.
Even if Li Dong is behind the camera, watching Wang Bo's performance, he will subconsciously forget about him as a person, and can only remember the role he played.
He will even be substituted into the plot, as if he has returned to the Great Depression of the empire decades ago.
Lao Huang said to Li Dong more than once that he was grateful to him for being able to make a final decision during the interview and help him find an actor comparable to a master.
To be honest, Lao Huang's words made Li Dong's face full of confusion, and the reason why he chose it was more because of the relationship between giving up his seat and not giving up his seat.
And it's one of the three, anyone would choose this, would he choose the person who sits there and ignores his existence?
There are only small actors, no small roles, this sentence is absolutely true.
Some people act with their hearts, and some people act with their faces, and the difference between high and low is naturally self-evident.
Wang Bo has been at the bottom for more than ten years, and has performed more than 200 roles, most of which are small roles, and some characters only have a few lines.
These characters include hooligans, hawkers, policemen, soldiers, teachers, criminals, doctors, and so on.
Every time he receives a role, Wang Bo will spend a long time, pondering the role with great care, and carefully compiling a character biography, even if it is a character with only a few lines, the same is true.
In order to play a good vegetable seller, he deliberately served some vegetables and sold them in the market downstairs of his house for several days, seriously figuring out the role, although in the end he lost a lot of money.
In order to play a criminal well, he not only stayed in the detention center for two days, but also sat next to the condemned prisoner and chatted with each other for two days.
Wang Bo works so hard, mainly out of his love for acting, even if it is a small role, he can portray the task extremely profoundly, and it is flesh and blood.
And other actors like him, who have been trapped at the bottom for many years, have long regarded acting as a kind of livelihood, and most of the small roles they play are to cope with errands.
Over time, acting in everything is like playing himself.
No success is accidental, and it is Wang Bo's continuous accumulation over the years that has made him a masterful performance today.
But even though his acting skills are profound, this world not only depends on his appearance, but also on his background.
If he graduated from the Kyoto Film Academy, even if his appearance is average, even if he can't be a movie star, with his acting level, at least he can be called an old actor.
But now in the imperial film and television circle, the teachers and students of the three major film universities in the empire occupy considerable resources and connections.
Not to mention the pheasant acting school he graduated from, even many teachers and students who graduated from first-class acting schools can only follow behind to eat some leftovers.
Many times, in the imperial film and television market, the three major film academies of the empire are fighting each other, and others can only watch dramas and listen to songs on the side.
If it weren't for the special situation this time, where would it be his turn to be the protagonist.
Wang Bo received the actor's play for the first time, and to be honest, his pressure was not ordinary.
So for a period of time before the filming of the movie, he was almost crazy to figure out the characters, and he wrote a full book of character biographies alone.
These days, Wang Bo is about to rot the thin script, and every day as if he is sick, he locks himself in the room from morning to night, or sits there in a daze, or stands up to perform a paragraph.
In fact, he had already entered the drama before the filming of the film, which also made his wife and children frightened for many days, for fear that something would happen to him.
So the film started, and the moment Wang Bo appeared, Huang Peiren, Lao Lu and others were all dumbfounded when they saw Wang Bo.
Nima ...... Isn't this the protagonist who is alive and well, before the play is filmed, this guy has already entered the play.
So in the early days of the filming, Wang Bo also brought some trouble to the crew.
For Mao, actors who have just joined the crew often need to slowly adapt to it for a period of time.
And this guy poked that and stood with the others, and it felt like he had stepped back in time from the Great Depression decades ago, looking as awkward as he could.
So Lao Huang looked at the picture of the camera and felt that the egg hurt very much.
In the end, he had no choice but to suppress all Wang Bo's scenes, let the other actors in the crew adapt to the rhythm first, and then concentrate on filming his part of the scene.
For Wang Bo, who loves acting, he used to participate in those small role performances, and it was really sad to be addicted to drama.
This time, as the actor of this movie, he performed very comfortably every time, and he performed heartily in front of the camera.
Wang Bo has been thinking about the protagonist for a long time, and his years of experience as a low-level migrant actor have made him understand the characters in this play very deeply.
Often a small look, or a seemingly casual small action, can portray the protagonist's character image plump and delicate.
A perfect interpretation of a positive, kind, and conscientious man for the family.
The hardships of life sharpened his heart all the time, and he worked hard for the sake of his family, shielding his beloved woman from the wind and rain with his own hands.
The little people in a work of art are often the best way to show the current social situation.
They live in a shabby, shabby and dirty environment, and still maintain the virtues of simplicity and kindness.
Behind their impoverished and trivial lives, they still have a heart of love.
Although in today's materialistic society, such a view of love may have long been extinct.
But the heroes and heroines of this movie are weak and helpless in the face of a difficult life, but in the image of love, they are definitely worthy of everyone's admiration.
Lao Huang appreciated Wang Bo very much, and sighed in front of him several times, if it weren't for Li Dong's last insistence, I am afraid that he would have missed such a good actor as him.
So Wang Bo is now very grateful to Li Dong, and at the same time very respectful.
During this time, they often sat on the side of the road and drank, and the relationship between the two became better and better, and they have become friends who talk about everything.
