On June 7, 1999, Gyeongsangbuk-do, the new work of the new female director Li Tingxiang: "Grandma's Home", Chinese translated as "Love, Home", was officially launched without any news release and hype. And the scene of 11-year-old Jin Zhongming has already begun on a train dozens of miles away at this time.

After reading the script, Kim Jong-ming has dispelled the idea that this movie is a bad movie. The filming of the first act is now underway in earnest.

The first scene is very simple, the lively child shows the normal behavior of a city bear child on the train, playing with toys, whistling, and casually asking his mother sitting next to him: Is that grandmother unable to hear? Can she speak? Will it disturb me? Is it fierce? How big is it?

And the child's mother looked sad and responded helplessly to the child intermittently.

Jin Zhongming performed very well, the acting skills of child stars really don't need much, just be normal and obedient. In fact, Kim Jong-ming didn't have much acting skills, so the assistant director of the camera asked him to laugh and bow his head to play with toys on the train, and he lowered his head to play with toys. Let him play with toys with his head down in the car, and he will play with toys with his head down. Let him look back at the chat aunt with a face, and he can complete it smoothly. The scene in the train car ended quickly and smoothly.

In the afternoon of the same day, Kim Jong-ming came to the filming location and met the other leading actor of the movie, the old man Kim Yifen, the old man is 74 years old this year, and her back is no longer hunched, she lives in a mountain nest in North Gyeongsang Province (that is, the filming location of the movie), she has never been to a place outside the town under the mountain in her life, and raised 1 man and 2 women with more than 100 walnuts in the yard.

Everyone thought that the filming of this film would be a long and difficult filming process. But in the month that followed, something amazing happened. And neither Li Tingxiang nor Kim Jong-ming, nor the crew of the film crew expected that the filming of the movie would go so smoothly. But in fact, on the fourth day after the arrival of July, the film was officially completed after only 25 days of shooting.

The reason for all this is the tacit understanding between Kim Jong-ming's children and the old man Kim Yifen, who plays the dumb grandmother, these two people didn't even have a minute of photography experience before, but since the twentieth day of filming, there has been almost no ng. In just five days, the emotional scene that was originally thought to be possible for twenty days or more was filmed.

Of course, this is also related to the particularity of this play, there are only seven characters in the whole play with more than one minute of scenes, and the core characters are the grandparents and grandchildren. Most of the rest are pictures of mountain people driving ox carts past, or mountain people pulling carts passing by. In fact, 70% of the lines in the entire movie are focused on Sang-woo and 20% on the other two small actors. Therefore, after the two people cooperate tacitly, the entire movie progress is almost swishing down.

Since he never met the old man, Jin Zhongming was attracted by the image in the script, all the scenes are so real and familiar, when he was still in Seoul's grandfather's house, lying in bed, sometimes he vaguely remembered the appearance of his grandmother in his previous life, a typical old woman in Luxi area of northern Anhui, combing her hair in a bun that seemed to have started in the Republic of China, and a pair of muslin gowns with an oblique placket. His wrinkled face is always smiling, and he is either taking care of his grandson or working non-stop all day long. The calluses on the limbs of the hands are thick enough to hold the needle, but the warmth of the palm makes people fall asleep happily.

In winter, I always give you a quilt to make you sweat hotly, in spring, I always pick wild vegetables for you, pop eggs for you to eat, in summer, I always fan you to make you fall asleep against the heat, and in autumn, I always take countless objects to make pickled products, so that your future table will never be boring.

When he came to this small mountain nest, he saw Grandma Jin Yifen, and the image in his memory almost coincided with the person in front of him. Although the person in front of him is hunchbacked, his body shape looks completely different from the person in his memory, and the old-fashioned clothes of North Korea are completely different from the old-fashioned clothes of China, and the bun is also different when you look closely.

But some other things are exactly the same. The old wrinkled face, the warm palms, the thick cocoons, always smiling at you, and this industrious, strong, and full of gray hair.

However, what really made Kim Jong Ming completely fall was a detail: in the movie, the old man needed to wear a dirty old clothes, and every time he started, the old man always held the clothes and kept chattering: "Wearing such clothes will make people think that my son is not filial and embarrass him." It was this sentence that made Jin Zhongming's nose sour at that time.

The filming was originally a lonely village, with only eight families, mostly widows and elderly people. The whole village suddenly became more vibrant because of the influx of young people, and according to the local chief, who helped with the shooting, this was the most "popular" time since the "Japanese occupation era". The villagers in the mountains are extremely hospitable, and seeing the crew either fruit or food fills every corner of the village with an atmosphere of joy.

But in this atmosphere, the filming process in the first 20 days was not smooth, and the problem was Jin Zhongming. The scenes in the early stage are mainly about the estrangement and opposition between the two, Jin Zhongming is not an actor, he can't accurately understand the integrity of the drama, if he is a professional actor, he has long understood that the greater the tension now, the more emotional venting will be in the later stage. But it is always difficult for Kim Jong-ming to make this situation that makes him feel disgusted and regretful, but fortunately, reason tells him that the thing of acting expresses the bad side in order to awaken the good side.

And in these twenty days, the most bitter thing is the crew, although the villagers are extremely hospitable, but the conditions in the countryside are too poor. The crew's biggest challenge: because there was no "road" on the map, the crew had to carry heavy machines on their shoulders from morning to night, wading through the winding and bumpy country roads. Secondly, what bothers the crew the most is the little insects that "roam" in the primitive nature in the ravine, these insects are usually used to sucking the old people in the village, and with so many "new blood" joining this summer, they are naturally more "active".

But fortunately, in this process, the other leading actor of the movie, the old man Jin Yifen, made the crew feel much more at ease. You must know that in this process, compared with the difficult Jin Zhongming, the old man Jin Yifen amazed the crew at any time with her "unique acting skills" and "super memory". When the old man Jin Yifen pauses in filming, she will put everything in place accurately, and even when she has put on her makeup, and when she is waiting for the lights to be turned on, she will suddenly say "These shoes are wrong", "Why are the crutches missing", "The bamboo basket hanging on the wall was not there before......". The ability to never forget makes the real field record sweat coldly, and I am afraid that my job will not be guaranteed. And off the court, she loves Jin Zhongming, who is only 11 years old, and the other two 15-year-old actors, and will seriously cook pumpkin rice for three people. Even sometimes Jin Zhongming was sleepy in the afternoon, and after falling asleep, she would fan Jin Zhongming with a pu fan like a real grandmother. Moreover, when the old man faced Jin Zhongming's prank on the crew, he always pretended not to see it, which was greatly welcomed by Jin Zhongming. In fact, Kim Jong-ming was not interested in pranks at first, but once he was bored and put a cute four-legged snake into the box of a female makeup artist, he gradually regarded this kind of thing as a way to vent the shooting not going well.

Although the beginning of Kim Jong-myung's career as an actor was not smooth, fortunately, director Li Tingxiang had a good grasp. Under her almost hand-in-hand teaching, Jin Zhongming still stepped up the filming of the first half of the scene:

After the hard work of trains, cars, and mountain roads, my mother led 8-year-old Sang-woo to his grandmother's house. As a single mother, she temporarily left Sang-woo there during the summer vacation in order to find a job conveniently.

Sang-woo's grandmother can't speak or read, and Sang-woo, who has always lived in the world of cola, video games and skates, can't adapt to the rural life where he doesn't even have game consoles and batteries to sell, and he begins to show his dissatisfaction, in order to buy batteries, Sang-woo steals his grandmother's silver hairpin and sells it; In this way, Sangwoo's dislike for his grandmother and the countryside accumulated day by day, and finally came to the climax and turning point.

It was on the thirteenth day that Kim Jong-ming and Grandma Kim Yi-fen filmed this turning point and climax of the fried chicken scene.

One day, Sang-woo, who wanted to eat fried chicken, finally succeeded in expressing his wish to his grandmother through various gestures, but his grandmother only understood the chicken, and what he made was "chicken soaked in water" -- stewed chicken, and Sang-woo was very angry and overturned the rice bowl. In the face of all this, the only expression of grandma is to keep gesturing to say that she is sorry, because she can't even afford to buy a battery for a video game console, and because she can't meet Sangwoo's request to eat fried chicken......

was snubbed by Sang-woo, and the sad dumb grandmother lay on the mat to sleep, and Sang-woo unexpectedly, but naturally covered his grandmother with a quilt.

After the fried chicken scene, the scene of Sangwoo's mentality change is not over. And this process is extremely long, from the thirteenth day to the twentieth day, there are three changes in the venue, several climactic scenes, and the transformation of the character of Sang-woo is also completed. And in this process, Jin Zhongming's performance has become very good.

When the scene where Sang-woo picks up his grandmother at the entrance of the village begins, the tone of the whole movie becomes brighter, and then, the atmosphere becomes lively and harmonious, and the scene between Sang-woo and his grandmother becomes more sincere and friendly. In the next five days, in the stunned eyes of the full staff and the director and camera, Jin Zhongming and the old man Jin Yifen played at the speed of two scenes a day, without NG.

Whether it is a few scenes where the grandmother takes scissors to give Sangwoo a haircut and turns it into a pot lid, or the scene where Sangwoo teaches his grandmother to write letters. Even if there is a scene in the middle where Sang-woo is chased by a cow and runs twice, the scene where the grandmother comes to look for Sang-woo in the immediate aftermath is also passed once. You must know that in this scene, Jin Zhongming wants to make the most difficult scene for a child star - crying scene. All in all, in this process, as long as it is a scene of two people together, it will be carried out without hindrance.

In this way, the scene came to the end, and my mother came from Seoul to pick up Sang-woo. In front of a dilapidated stop sign that is only half a person high, the play of Sang-woo, mother, and grandmother was completed in one go, and when the car started, Sang-woo, who originally ignored his grandmother, suddenly stood up, ran to the back window of the car, and waved desperately to his grandmother. The film was also completed.

After the end, Jin Zhongming found the old man Jin Yifen and asked for the only phone in the village and the phone number of the old man's son. As a human being in two lifetimes, he already knows what to do best for the elderly. The old man has his own sons and grandchildren, daughters and grandchildren, and looking at him from a distance is actually the best way to care.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Kim Jong-ming officially ended the filming of this movie, and returned to Seoul with the other two young actors: Min Kyung-hoon and Lim Eun-kyung.

Min Kyung-hoon and Lynn Kyoto are trainees, and the contact with these two people has given him some understanding of the trainee industry, but it is not exact. Because of these two people, one is preparing to make his band debut, and the other is simply a model. In the middle of the term, Min Kyung-hoon's family conditions are good, he just played musical instruments on the street at the beginning, and after the voice change period, he found that he was actually good at singing, and he also had a brush for writing songs, so he decided to make his official debut with several other people who played musical instruments together, and only two months ago officially signed a contract with the current company through his family connections, and now he is practicing formal band combination things while learning composition, and from time to time he has to participate in some things outside the three major TV stations to increase his foundation, such as this movie. And Lin Enjing was found by a talent scout of a modeling agency while walking on the street, and then entered a modeling agency. Unexpectedly, at the age of fifteen, she was selected by TTL Telecom and became a spokesperson, and then naturally became the company's favorite object. So it was picked up by the company and operated to this role.

Both of them are fifteen years old this year, one is already in high school and the other is in junior high school. For Jin Zhongming, who is still eleven years old, his inquiries are naturally mostly perfunctory. But even so, Jin Zhongming also roughly knew a truth through his communication with them: whether it is a trainee or an entertainment industry, it is all made up of people, some people have rivers and lakes, and there is competition if there is a level, but when you meet a good person, it is healthy competition, and when you meet a bad person, it is vicious competition. All in all, it varies from person to person, just look at the meal.
