After three rounds of drinking, Liang Jingdong blushed slightly, put his arm on Wang Dalun's shoulder and asked, "Dalun, I heard that you just acted with Gong Li?"

"Well, director Sun Zhou's play "Zhou Yu's Train". Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He was the crew who left early after filming his own scene, which was just completed in Chongqing not long ago. In fact, this is not news for a long time, because of Gong Li's relationship, newspapers and websites have reported a lot one after another.

Liang Jingdong asked this, largely because of Gong Li. They are a group of post-70s people, as far as China is concerned, Gong Li is definitely the goddess of their generation in adolescence.

Liang Jingdong is very similar to Lao Jia in terms of personality, he usually doesn't talk much, and he looks honest and loyal, but he is a very stuffy person in his bones. The only difference may be that when he drinks a little wine, it is easy to reveal his true form. And Lao Jia is relatively hidden.

Sure enough, Gu Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "I heard that the scale of this play is very large, have you ever had that kind of play with Gong Li, tell us about it." ”

Saying that, this product also squeezed his eyebrows, which means that everyone understands.

Wang Dalun waved his hand and said, "Don't listen to nonsense outside, I think it's quite a normal drama." ”

"Then did you have any close contact with Gong Li in the play?" Liang Jingdong poked his head and asked with an obscene expression.

"Yes, yes, tell me about it. Gu Zheng followed and coaxed beside him.

He had to spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Love literary films, do you say there are any?"

"Hah! not bad!" Gu Zheng patted him on the shoulder and laughed.

Liang Jingdong looked at him with envy.

"Hey, how is this play?" Lao Jia didn't care about this kind of messy things like a large scale, he still sat there very calmly and asked.

In fact, aside from the "Balzac and the Little Tailor" that Gu Zheng joked about before, this year there are also "With You" directed by Chen Dadao at the beginning of the year, "Zhou Yu's Train" by Sun Zhou, and even "Spring in a Small Town" by Wang Dalun to be filmed next, these movies are all literary films without exception. And whether it is above ground or underground, with the beating nature of domestic filmmakers, they will definitely swarm to go to major foreign film festivals to brush it up. Especially the Cannes International Film Festival, which has the greatest impact and matches the time.

Similarly, the "Let You Go" he is filming now is also going to next year's Cannes Film Festival, and I have to say that the competition must be fierce, which also invisibly narrows the possibility of "Let You Go" being shortlisted and winning awards in the future.

"I think it's good. I play a veterinarian who pursues Gong Li, Leung Jiahui plays a poet, and Gong Li plays two roles. The main line of this drama is not in men, not in me and Liang sir, we are green leaves. Wang Dalun said.

Lao Jia's chopsticks paused and said, "Two men and one woman, somewhat similar to the theme of "Spring in a Small Town"?"

He thought for a moment and muttered, "Hmm...... How so? It can be said to be similar, but it can also be said to be completely different. Because of the background of the era, "Spring in a Small Town" is the kind of love that is affectionate and polite, and emphasizes more on the love of the spiritual world. And "Zhou Yu's Train" is closer to the current society, from love to love, love is a very normal thing. ”

Lao Jia nodded thoughtfully, took a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, chewing without knowing what he was thinking.

"Da Lun, how does it feel to cooperate with Jiahui?"

At this time, it was Yu Liwei who was talking, as a Hong Konger, he was more concerned about Liang Jiahui, and the first movie he directed three years ago was starring Liang Jiahui.

"I don't have a rivalry with Liang sir, and he doesn't have many scenes in Yunnan. However, I have watched a few scenes of his rivalry with Sister Gong Li, and Liang Sir's performance, I can only say four words: retract and release freely!"

He really didn't deliberately compliment him on this point, although Liang Jiahui only filmed a few scenes in Yunnan, but he showed Chen Qing's cowardly, hesitant, and dare not face reality character to the fullest.

"Hahaha, that's right, Jiahui is definitely this in Hong Kong!" Yu Liwei also smiled with a thumbs up.

"Hey, I heard that you used DV for filming this time?" he looked at Lao Jia and Yu Liwei and asked.

From the capital to Datong, along the way, he asked the driver a lot about the crew, but he felt a little unbelievable about the use of DV. Generally speaking, the most important reason why some directors shoot with DV is that DV is cheaper than film, for example, Zhu Wen also thought about using DV to shoot "Seafood" when he had no money. However, the biggest disadvantage of DV is the technical and aesthetic limitations, such as the inability to shoot a large number of exterior scenes, because in natural light, the quality of the image is not very good, etc., and in the future, the lens shot by DV will be converted into film, and it will take a lot of money.

But Lao Jia is not short of money to make movies now, even if there will be a serious overrun in the filming of "Platform", the producer is still willing to make additional investment, but at that time, the upright boy thought that he was in breach of contract and must be responsible for himself, and rejected the producer's kindness.

Now with the success of "Platform", the producer is even more willing to let him have fun, how can he give up film and choose DV in order to save money?

Yu Liwei looked at Lao Jia, his eyes were resentful, as a photographer, of course he hoped that the more beautiful the shots he shot, the better.

Lao Jia smashed his mouth and smiled: "Actually, I have a new experience in making movies with DV, the pressure is very low when shooting, the shooting is very relaxed, the heart is very open, and you can try many forms."

As he spoke, he took a sip of his beer and continued, "And when I used DV to shoot Public Space at the beginning of the year, I found that there is a kind of abstraction in DV shooting. This is something I need to readjust during the shooting process, because when I first started experimenting with DV, I thought that DV could be very mobile and very lively, but in fact, when shooting, I found that I could shoot with a very abstract temperament. ”

He paused, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's put it this way, there is an abstract order in every space, and if you use traditional film to break this order, it will warm up the atmosphere of the scene, and people will become very excited and active, but DV is very quiet when it gets along with people, and I can shoot some very calm, very detached, almost abstract temperament." Just like this time, I used DV to shoot "Let Me Go", and I think it is also very compatible with this kind of barren and youthful story. ”

Yu Liwei and Gu Zheng looked as usual when they heard this, probably because they were tired of hearing Lao Jia's remarks. But Wang Dalun heard it in a fog, what abstract and quiet, he didn't understand it at all, he only knew that this product was addicted to DV play.

But if you think about it carefully, this is also Lao Jia's style, he just likes to try and constantly look for his own inspiration, otherwise he would not have made such excellent movies as "Xiao Wu" and "Platform". Roughly talented people are so headstrong.

As for the question of aesthetics, come on, when is there beauty in his shots, at most there are endless long shots, and the whole movie is full of either gray or black tones, and there is no visual beauty at all.

Lao Jia is not like Director Zhang and Director Chen, who pays great attention to the color sense of the lens picture, as well as extremely detailed close-ups and majestic vistas. He is well aware of his style of film, so he is firmly on the opposite side of them in this regard.

After waiting for a few years, Director Feng, who is good at Beijing-style comedies and Chinese New Year films, began to swell, and also learned the style of Zhang Dadao and Chen Dadao.

After dinner, at the invitation of Director Jia, he specially went to observe the results of their work in the past month or so, because there was no editing, it was all a small clip.

Although the movie is very incomplete, it gives him a completely new feeling, compared with the previous "Xiao Wu" and "Platform", Lao Jia reverses the usual realistic techniques, and the style is blurry and weird.

The setting of the story has moved from Fenyang to Datong, a larger and more restless city. In fact, Datong is also a historical city, and there are many ancient architectural relics like Pingyao, but Lao Jia did not include these in the camera like "Platform" this time, but always paid attention to those abandoned waiting halls, barren factories, mining areas, dark coal transportation channels, dry riverbeds, and boring and dirty environments outside residential buildings.

Zhao Tao plays a rural model who sells liquor, and the two male protagonists are two eighteen or nineteen-year-old children who have not retired, consistent with Lao Jia's style, these two children are not professional actors, playing two gangsters who have just left school and have nothing to do.

Before leaving, he also asked Lao Jia for a complete movie script and went back to the room to look at it. Again, just like Lao Jia's style, the script is still very simple, just a dozen thin pages.

Roughly speaking, the two children of unemployed workers, Xiao Ji and Binbin, spend their days riding motorcycles for pleasure or going to smoky entertainment centers to pass the time. Xiao Ji falls in love with the beautiful dance model Qiaoqiao. Qiaoqiao has a boyfriend who is a street gangster, but Xiao Ji doesn't mind.

Binbin's mother thinks her son should go to the army, and his girlfriend is going to study international business at Peking University. Bin Bin likes to sing karaoke and watch cartoons, he doesn't believe in the future.

Their city of Datong, Shanxi Province, is far from the capital, but highways and television allow them to keep up with the changing role the country plays in the world's political and economic system. In their generation, it is sometimes difficult to resist the temptation to make a quick buck.

If you really want to say that this drama is related to "Xiao Wu" and "Platform", it is the scenes that constantly appear in the play that meet the characteristics of this era, such as the wave of layoffs, all kinds of pirated discs sold on the street, wild and rustic performances when selling alcohol, Binbin's mother's 20-year service of 40,000 yuan buyout, etc.

There was no script for Xiao Wu in which he made a cameo, and Lao Jia specially wrote it on a piece of paper and gave it to him along with the script. Brother Xiaowu doesn't have many scenes, but they are very fragmentary, interspersed in all corners of the whole play, and he can't help but jump out of the cold.

With the changes of the times, Xiao Wu Ge still seems to be doing his "handiwork", and he is still often arrested by plainclothes, and later Bin Bin asked him: Isn't it the same as "at home"?

But to be honest, Wang Dalun didn't understand why Lao Jia added Xiao Wu in this film, because in his opinion, such a role seemed redundant. But he couldn't understand that "Ren Yao" was actually Lao Jia's own Ren Yao, so Lao Jia began to ridicule.

Lao Jia not only asked him to make a cameo appearance in Xiao Wu and constantly appeared in the film, but also prepared a role for himself - a madman who sings tenors.

…………

Mining District Club, Night.

Zhao Weiwei and Wu Qiong, two children, came down the stairs, and the two stood under the lamp and lit cigarettes.

Although these two children are "electrocuted" for the first time, after more than a month of Lao Jia's training, they have become natural from jerky, of course, their acting skills are not yet available. They are locals, and the local gangsters have seen a lot of them, and they are used to it in front of the camera, so they are familiar with acting.

Then the two walked into the billiard hall with cigarettes in their mouths, looked around, there were no acquaintances in the billiard hall, and the two walked out boredly.

Next to the billiard hall is the Internet café, at this time, Wang Dalun wore black-framed glasses and wandered out of the Internet café and met the two children head-on.

Wu Qiong saw it first, and hurriedly shouted, "Brother Xiaowu!"

As an old gangster, Wang Dalun still has a very high status in front of the two children. He pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, raised his hand and pointed at them, and said, "You two are going to play?"

Wu Qiong replied honestly: "There's nothing to play, let's go." ”

Wang Dalun glanced at the two of them, half-tilted his head, and said in a well-informed and instructive tone: "Rich and lack of fun? Go to Hongdu to see the human demon, and go to Yungang to see the Russian girl." ”

"Yes! Yes!" Wu Qiong nodded again and again, while Zhao Weiwei next to him didn't say a word, he actually looked down on Brother Xiao Wu who did "handiwork" in his heart.

Wang Dalun nodded, made a gesture to leave, turned back again, and said to them: "Brother Xiaowu is playing finance now, and he is short of money to find me!"

"Click!"

Lao Jia shouted, picked up the headset and stood up, he was faintly excited, although it was only a short shot, Wang Dalun's acting skills have obviously improved a lot, and the details are more sophisticated, compared to Xiao Wu four years ago, he is more like Xiao Wu.

Because it was a cameo, Wang Dalun could only stay in the crew for three days at most, three night scenes, and six daytime scenes were all filmed together.

He and Zhao Tao have no rivalry, mainly with the two children. On the afternoon of the next day, in a ruin on the edge of the city, Bin Bin, played by Zhao Weiwei, was selling pirated CDs because of lack of money.

Wang Dalun swayed into the mirror with a cigarette in his mouth, walked over and said, "Hey, I'll take a look." ”

Zhao Weiwei hurriedly put the schoolbag over.

He flicked the cigarette ash, squatted down, pretended to pick and choose, and asked, "Is there any "Xiao Wu"?"

"Nope. The child replied honestly.

Ask again: "Is there a "platform"?"

"Nope. ”

"Is there any Chinatown?"

"Nope. ”

He was deflated and asked, "Okay, then let's go for Pulp Fiction." ”

"No, there isn't. ”

Wang Dalun glanced at him, suddenly opened his mouth, nodded with his finger, and said, "You can't do this goods! Just like you, when will you be able to repay the money?"

"Quick, fast. Zhao Weiwei said busily.

"Remember!"

He typed, stood up, and staggered out of the camera again.

……

On the whole, the filming went very smoothly, and the originally planned three-day scene ended in two days, and on the last day, Wang Dalun did not leave in advance, but specially watched the scene where Lao Jia made a cameo appearance as a madman singing tenor.
