Chapter 25: Talent
In the past two days after joining the crew, Liu Zhang has not been to the set to watch it. It was really the perfunctory things of the director and actors during the opening ceremony that made him feel dissatisfied, and the actors' "one, two, three, four, five" was too funny. This kind of drama is a comedy at first glance, and it will be a tragedy if you continue to watch it - that is an investment of 10 million yuan, and it is so ruined?
Today, Lin Ying is on the play for the first time, and Liu Zhang vaguely feels that this little girl's film may be able to give people a surprise. After tossing and turning in bed for more than an hour, not only did he not fall asleep, but he did not even warm his feet. Liu Zhang decided not to sleep anymore, got dressed and walked towards the workshop.
Entering the workshop, the staff of the director team and the invited group performers have arrived.
The lathe has been useless for many years, and most of the embroidery is broken. The masters of several factories were sweating profusely and tinkering with the machines, but they couldn't start them.
Director Gu was annoyed, and shouted with a loudspeaker: "Forget it, if you can't get it, you won't get it, it's just a prop anyway, just put it on a show." Time is pressing, start shooting. ”
A staff member asked: "Gu Dao, if this machine can't be opened, it's not very appropriate, and it can't shoot the smell of the workshop being in full swing." ”
"It's in full swing, you still dragged the text for me, the old man doesn't understand this. Director Gu kicked him: "Send someone to find a factory to record the roar of the machine for post-production." ”
The man: "Also, this lathe can't spin, isn't it funny to shoot?"
"Don't worry about it, do the vista blur. Anyway, we are shooting people, and art is ultimately about expressing deep human nature. ”
"Okay, the director is wise. ”
Liu Zhang was dumbfounded when he heard it next to him, this is also called filming?
"Attention units, filming has begun. Director Gu: "The male No. 1 is ready, the female No. 3 is ready, and the camera is given to the female No. 3." ”
It was time for Lin Ying to appear, and Liu Zhang raised his spirits.
"CUT!" Director Gu suddenly shouted to stop, frowning, "Lin Ying, what's the matter with your costume?"
"It was borrowed from Uncle Li's house in the room, director, is there anything wrong?" Lin Ying asked timidly.
At this time, everyone found that Lin Ying was wearing a shabby blue overalls. The garment had been washed white, and the elbows were tightly patched, and when it was lifted, it circled as if it were for the purpose of an arrow. For today's scene, she also deliberately smeared engine oil on it.
"Why are you so shabby, you are doing this, the picture is not beautiful. Director Gu was very angry: "Look at your hands and look at your face, it's dirty like that, what does the audience think about it, if you were eating at the time, wouldn't it be disgusting?"
Lin Ying whispered: "Director Gu, I think, I think it is impossible for a workshop worker to be so clean after a day of work." And, moreover, it's the ...... of the eighties" The more she spoke, the lower her head became.
Director Gu interrupted her fiercely: "What do you think, do you think, are you a director or am I a director, how should this scene be filmed, don't I know better than you?" Many girls are still graphic models on the catwalk one moment, and the next moment they change into costumes to appear on camera. There is nothing polite to them.
"But, it's ......" Lin Ying shook her head: "Director, I don't think it's right for you to shoot like this." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, go wash your face, change into clean clothes, shoot if you want, get out if you don't want to shoot. Director Gu also had anger surging in his heart.
"Director, I'm ......" Lin Ying is a little girl after all, when has she ever been scolded so rudely, with tears in her eyes.
As for the other actors in the crew, everyone got together temporarily, so naturally they didn't say anything good. Moreover, everyone says that it is not good to be in a competitive relationship, and it is good if it does not fall into the ground. They all looked at each other gloating and smiled, waiting for Lin Ying to be even more ugly.
Liu Zhang's eyebrows raised when he saw it, although he didn't know how to film, he had written novels anyway, and he was half of the art circle. Art comes from reality, whether it is writing or filming, it must be close to reality. Especially this kind of period drama in the 80s, it is necessary to shoot the atmosphere of the times. This ancient director is simply nonsense, he doesn't even understand basic common sense, and he doesn't know where Global Film and Television came from.
I have eaten the food sent by Lin Ying, and I can be regarded as a friend, Liu Zhang thinks so in his heart. If a friend is being bullied, it would be too unrighteous if he didn't stand up and speak. Besides, he also looked at Director Gu very unpleasantly.
So, Liu Zhang walked up, touched it on the lathe, and then wiped the dust on Lin Ying's face. At the tentacles, it was warm.
Lin Ying let out a low cry of "ah", and looked at Liu Zhang in amazement, his face was red.
Liu Zhang smiled and said to Director Gu: "I think Lin Ying is dressed very well, it is indeed as she just said, after working in the workshop for a day, her body is not clean, so let's shoot like this!"
Director Gu looked dissatisfied: "Teacher Liu!"
Liu Zhangdao: "I am a screenwriter, I am in the most upstream position of the work, and I know best how to grasp the character and how to shoot this character." Actually, Lin Ying changed to play the female number three, and how to play it was all suggested by me. ”
Director Gu snorted: "Mr. Liu, you are a big writer, you can write a good script, but you may not be able to make a good show." He saw that Liu Zhang was starting to be unpleasant, but Mr. Liu was personally recommended by the funder and was the god of wealth of the crew, but he was not easy to offend.
Liu Zhang also knew that what he said just now was a bit heavy, so he softened his tone and said, "Director Gu, you still have what you said, this series is very tight, and there should be many scenes to be filmed today." It's too much time to let Lin Ying wash his face and change his clothes now, so let's do it!"
When Director Gu heard this, he said secretly: Yes, anyway, this scene is rubbish, even if it is filmed, it is estimated that it will not be sold, what should I do with all this energy. Hurry up and finish filming, take the money and go home, is it possible that I still expect to win a flying award?
Anyway, it was a fool, and his anger disappeared: "Okay, that's it, ready to shoot!"
At this time, there was a boom, and several machine tools spun up, and the sound of the machine startled everyone.
A few veteran workers who were temporarily invited to perform in the group wiped their sweat and said, "This broken machine can finally be used." ”
The machine spun so fast that the iron filings were thrown out in circles under the drill bit like shavings. The air was filled with the smell of engine oil and metal, and the whole workshop trembled slightly in the sound of the motor, making people feel in a trance in a hot factory.
Director Gu: "Action!" is on.
……
Male No. 1 was driving parts in front of the lathe, Lin Ying strode in front of him, reached out and patted his shoulder.
When he was reprimanded by the director before, Lin Ying's body was still curled up as if he was a frightened little beast, but when he walked at the moment, he shook his hands, and his body was wide open, looking very grinning, as if he was a different person.
"I said, why are you still here?"
"What did you say?" the hero asks aloud, his voice mixed with the roar of the machine.
"I said, why are you still here?" Lin Ying pouted: "Your foreign girl from the big city is now bullied by the leader, can you still sit still?"
"What bullied, who bullied whom?" the male protagonist stopped and turned back fiercely.
Lin Ying: "She, she made many products when she was making pieces today, and she was severely cut by the workshop director." Giggles, I say, how can a delicate woman, like a landlord's wife, be the working class, and go back to her big city early. Shame, shame. I said, don't you want to treat her as a lover? Why, now that something has happened to someone, don't you feel distressed and don't stand up?"
"Grass, it's against him, dare to bully her!" The actor pulled out a wrench from the parts with a bang, and was about to rush out.
At this time, Lin Ying, who was talking happily, was frightened, grabbed the male protagonist, and asked sharply: "What are you going to do, do you really want to stand up for her, are you stupid?" The expression was both scared, angry and jealous.
Jealousy makes people ugly, and her unpowdered face is delicate and handsome, but at the moment it is crowded together, looking hideous and terrifying.
The actor stopped, glared at Lin Ying angrily, as if he understood something, and scolded: "Is it you, is it you/"
"What's not me?"
Actor: "Is it you who made her, yes, yes, yes, it must be you." He sneered: "Growing up together, I know you too well." ”
"Yes, it's me, I just can't get used to her arrogant appearance, what's the big deal, isn't it just a college student, and she looks beautiful, she thinks she's a fairy, everyone else should revolve around her, I just want to fix her. Let her understand that she is an ordinary worker like us, covered in stinky sweat and mobile oil at the end of the day. I just want to frustrate the spirit of her capitalist lady and let her know what is the labor reform that strikes the soul...... If you don't kill me today, I'll be done with you!" Lin Ying's eyes were full of stubborn light, she held her little head high, and a little black oil dirt on her face couldn't help but tremble with her twitching muscles, like a big centipede.
Her voice was so sharp and sharp that it drowned out the rumbling motor.
……
It's too strong, such a powerful aura, for a while, the entire set of people was shrouded in the atmosphere created by Lin Ying's performance.
It is said that when the filming of this scene starts today, the male number one and Lin Ying can open their mouths and read "one, two, three, four, five" as usual. But Lin Ying's mouth is a large number of lines, and the male protagonist is also brought into the scene in that play, and involuntarily plays a rival role with her, interpreting the grievances and grievances of a group of young men and women in a factory in the eighties of the last century......
A good actor only needs one line and one expression to control the whole scene. Yes, today's play was completely controlled by Lin Ying.
Liu Zhang stood next to him, with goosebumps on his body: talent, Lin Ying has the talent of a good actor!
Such a good actor is so rare in the era when traffic stars and Internet celebrity faces are flooded with screens.
It's a pity that this is a garbage drama, and it is very likely that it will not be on TV in the future, and the investment of 10 million yuan will also be wasted. Lin Ying's performance is used on this, what a waste!
