18. Hair rope
Chi Chi, this little girl is really amazing.
This is one of Wen Xinping's biggest thoughts in the past two days.
His son himself knows that in normal times, Xiao Ning is a coward, and when it comes to his own script, he has become an unbearable obsessive-compulsive patient.
If a shot is wrong, he will ask for a reshoot over and over again, and Chi Chi will grind with him over and over again.
Say that the footsteps don't feel right, then repeat it twice...... Walk seventeen times and eighteen times, and say that the tone of the lines is wrong, then figure it out all night, never lose your temper, never make your temperament, and always laugh to get rid of all the anxiety and impetuousness in the entire crew.
Such a little girl, if she follows a reliable crew and polishes it in the hands of an experienced and thoughtful director, it will become a big thing in time.
Now Wen Xinping can already understand why Jin Sishun was so heartbroken when he saw Chi Chi taking over this play, indeed, in this crew, this girl was delayed.
Out of selfishness, the couple couldn't stop the project they had started, so they could only grit their teeth and raise an extra 100,000 yuan for this pit-like project.
It's not just that he can't get over it on his conscience, for such an actor who will definitely make a difference in the circle, even if it is out of consideration for his future work, he will not offend.
Even Wen Xinping found a few friends who could help at a friendly price, lighting, scene notes, radio, and by the way, they could also make props and the like, and asked Wen Luning's sister-in-law to help them get a van, even if it constituted the basic team of a miniature crew.
These friends of his, like Wen Xinping himself, are relatively cheap and experienced, and they have given low-cost and good-performing shooting advice on many details of shooting.
The little girl's IQ and EQ beyond her age made their son more and more gloomy and stubborn and unpleasant, if it weren't for his son's outstanding talent in filming, Wen Xinping would probably have whipped his son in his heart.
His own son is a genius -- this is another impression of Wen Xinping.
The pictures obtained after Wen Luning's difficult requirements were satisfied, whether it is the structure, color matching, or even the portrayal and expression of feelings, all have his strong personal characteristics - the background is rich and fresh, and the characters are light and vivid. Chi Chi, who was wearing a school uniform and combing a ponytail, showed the high-spirited and confused sense of youth in Wen Luning's lens, which made those old men who had seen the wind and waves feel shaken.
The aura of the smile, the casual and tense picture, with the girl's relaxed and moderate performance, can easily pluck the strings of their own memories, remembering those presumptuous years when they thought they were flying into the sky.
Wen Luning liked to take pictures when he was a child, and Wen Xinping was just a photographer in a video studio at that time, occasionally recording a video of other people's weddings and the like, and he was not busy working all over the country like he did later.
Dad always wanted his son to inherit his career, so he bought his son a small camera and let him play with it by himself until he reached high school. The film companies have gone out of business, the cameras have long since been replaced by digital ones, and the father has become a busy man, and he has not seen the world through his son's eyes for four or five years.
If Lin Qiu hadn't died at the beginning, Wen Xinping would definitely have supported his son to take a major in photography, videography or directing, after Lin Qiu's death, they wholeheartedly wanted to let their son separate from the past, wouldn't it be a waste and strangle?
Waking up in the middle of the night, Wen Xinping couldn't help but sigh to his wife, a middle-aged couple, lying side by side on the bed, one said that he shouldn't ignore his son, and the other said that he shouldn't just focus on his son's studies and ignore everything else. In memories and remorse, they spent sleepless nights one after another.
On the crowded road, the girl walked forward with her head down, her schoolbag crumbling on her back, and her steps were lazy.
She raised her hand and grabbed the ponytail on her head as if she were angry, and her head shook from side to side, and her long hair broke free from her hands, little by little, little by little, flowing like a lot.
It is like a handful of new willows with young buds, and it is like the clear flowing water after the ice cube melts in early spring.
It turned out that the hair rope on her head was loose, so she simply took the hair rope off completely, held it in her hand, and glanced at it.
The camera only captured half of the girl's side, and as her hair fell, the half was also covered by black hair, but her whole person came alive with this action.
The girl's mood seemed to be relieved from her original depression like hair, and when she turned around, she squinted at the screen.
At this time, the camera is still close to her, with a slight shaking.
"Don't shoot, you know to take the camera and pat me, why don't you shoot those who hit you?"
"It's not good to beat people? Stupid! They didn't think about it when they hit you. ”
"Tell you to stop filming"
"If you are so cowardly, I don't want you anymore......"
"Forget it, the teacher said that he could recommend me to go to dance school, and I was in a good mood and didn't have the same knowledge as them. ”
There was no real conversation with her, but her expression was so natural, she was talking to a teenager who was always protected by herself, and she even casually sorted out the collar of the dress inside her school uniform to see the fountain pen water on the sleeve of her school uniform.
Her hair always obstructed her vision when she turned her head to speak to the screen, and she squatted on the ground with her head rope in her teeth, and used her fingers to arrange her braids, and tied them up little by little with the hair rope when she felt that it was almost done.
There was a strand of hair that she had left behind, and when she touched it, she casually wrapped it around the headband and shook her head, feeling quite satisfied.
The girl was like no one around during the whole process, as if there was only her and the warm sunshine on this road, and at most the little cowardice bag behind her.
She looked at the car, looked at the pedestrians, looked at the street lamp, in fact, she didn't see anything, the excitement in her heart, with the jumping fingers when tying the braids, and the smile on the corner of her lips revealed little by little, so that everyone who saw it couldn't help but laugh.
This is the brightest scene in the whole movie, for her, a new life is about to begin, she can go to dance school to learn her favorite dance, she can leave that home, she can get rid of this qiē that she hates now.
After the lines were finished, the girl squatted under the stop sign and waited for the bus, and this scene was filmed.
But no one has been calling the card.
After more than ten minutes, Chi Chi couldn't help but look in the direction of the camera.
Wen Luning was already in tears.
"It's good to cry, it's good to cry. Wen Xinping looked at his son and whispered, the corners of his eyes moistened.
A few rough old men didn't know what to say except patting Wen Xinping on the shoulder, they hadn't encountered the director crying like an angry little girl.
Chi Chi scratched his head and ran to the cold drink shop across the road to buy a drink for each of them.
"Rehydrate, after this one, let's move on to the next one. ”
A tissue was stuffed into Wen Luning's hand, reminding him once again that Lin Qiu was dead, and the person in front of him now was Chi Chi.
But he knew it was getting harder and harder for him to tell them apart.
……
Lin Qiu can dance, Chi Chi can't, no matter how light she does the Baguazhang routine, it is impossible to pretend to be a modern dance.
Wen Luning asked Chi Chi Chi to learn how to dance modern dance within a few days, not caring at all how unreasonable this request was.
He was used to making all kinds of unreasonable demands to Chi Chi, and Chi Chi had never been sad anyway.
Wen Xinping almost found a stick to beat his son, he touched his mouth and asked Chi Qi to learn to dance, it is a trivial matter to spend some money, the entire crew has to wait, and the daily rent of the equipment is also over, filming is always more time than money, not to mention that on the weekend they also made an appointment to go to the school where Aunt Wen Luning worked to shoot the filming, which was originally set by asking for talents, and now it has delayed time, is the favor so easy to owe?
Chi Chi is still the same as if nothing can bother her.
"I'll figure this out by myself, let's not delay the filming progress!"
After saying this, she would go out every night with headphones and Walkman and would not return until the dead of night.
Ms. Lu had seen it once in the past, and when she came back, her expression was very complicated.
"She practiced the ...... over and over again in front of the video"
Wen Xinping let out a long sigh.
"We really owe too much for this favor. ”
"Old Wen, can you watch this movie we made?" Ms. Lu suddenly asked him.
"Why can't you watch it, you see your son shoot, every frame is the same as an oil painting, of course you can see it. ”
"Then why don't we find a way to release the movie?"
"Huh?"
Wen Xinping didn't expect that his wife, who was an outsider, would be so ambitious.
"Release?Send it to theaters? Do you really dare to think about it"
"That's right, the movie you worked so hard to make, the quality is not bad, why can't you send it to the public? We spent nearly two million yuan, originally to round our son's heart knot, and now there is such a dedicated Xiao Chichi, what are we worse than other movies?"
It's a lot worse...... The biggest difference is money...... Wen Xinping's words were repeated in Wen Xinping's head, and he couldn't help but start to evaluate the feasibility of the release of this film.
"You make me think. ”
The middle-aged man slowly lay down, and his wife opened a new door to his thinking.
Whether it is Wen Luninghe as a director or Chi Chi as a leading actor, they didn't expect that the fate of their works might change dramatically, and the weekend will come soon.
They're about to start filming scenes on campus.
