He took off his makeup, went back to the hotel to take a shower, and changed into a T-shirt, beach pants, and flip-flops. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 When he walked out of the hotel, he saw Hu Jingfan, a poor girl, wearing a cheongsam, who had just walked back. Seeing Wang Dalun dressed casually, she immediately lowered her head very embarrassed, Wang Dalun just nodded at her, it was a hello, don't talk at this time, so as not to embarrass everyone. He went straight out and drove back to the village.

Not to mention, filming outside, it is indeed much more convenient and free to have your own car. Today he made an appointment with Ah Cheng again to go to his place for a few drinks. Yesterday, he forgot that in fact, there was a box of Ten Years Chen's Eagle King given to him by He Cong in the car, which is commonly known as his daughter Hong. He also remembered it when he returned to the hotel yesterday, and today he told Ah Chengyi that Uncle Cheng strongly asked him to take out the wine.

"Come on, come on, today I specially asked Lao He to prepare a dish that I guess you have never eaten. When Wang Dalun walked into the small courtyard rented by Ah Cheng with wine, he heard Ah Cheng smile with his eyebrows open.

Lao He is his landlord.

"What dish?"

"It's still steaming on the stove and it's getting good soon. You sit down and have a cup of tea. ”

There was a teapot on the small table, Ah Cheng poured him a cup, the tea was the local Biluochun, not as rich as Longjing and Tieguanyin, but very fragrant.

Ah Cheng opened the box, there were a total of six bottles of wine in it, he hesitated slightly, but still took out two bottles from the box, walked to the kitchen behind the hall, and shouted in his mouth: "Lao He, is the dish ready? I brought you two bottles of wine!"

When he came out, he had two pots of vegetables in his hand, both of which were very large, one was fried cucumber with white shrimp, and the other was braised fish, but the fish was not too big, and it looked a little messy.

"That's the specialty here, it's called fish grilled fish. It is to use sake lees to braise different varieties of fish together, you see that there are small white stripes, ang stinging fish, small bream, crucian carp and pond fish, all of which are wild fish in Taihu Lake, don't look bad, the taste is quite good. Ah Chengle introduced.

Ah Cheng, don't look at the many dazzling titles on his head: famous writer, famous screenwriter, living in the United States, etc., but after Wang Dalun came into contact, Ah Cheng is actually a very good little old man, who loves to smoke pipes, loves to drink, and is delicious...... And his personality is also very bold, he once bluntly told Wang Dalun that when Tianzhuang Zhuang chose him to play Dai Liyan, he was opposed, thinking that he was too strong and very rustic.

Wang Dalun unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, nodded and said: "The taste is really fresh, I have eaten the bad roasted fish, but this fish roasted fish is really the first time to eat it." Uncle Cheng, is this the dish you are talking about?"

Ah Cheng opened a bottle of Eagle King, poured two glasses, and carefully looked at the wine stained on the wall of the cup, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "How can it, you will know when it comes out." ”

While speaking, Lao He came out with a large clamp and a white porcelain basin, which was pitch black and covered with a thin layer of fat and thin salted meat.

"Steamed soft-shell crab with salted meat, try it!" Lao He put it on the table and introduced it in a strong local accent.

"Lao He, let's drink two cups together!" Ah Cheng invited.

"Eat, eat, I have two left. ”

Lao He smiled and excused himself. Ah Cheng usually partners at his house, and often drinks two cups with Lao He when he is fine, but when a guest comes, Lao He is still very interesting.

Wang Dalun curiously used chopsticks to lift the salted meat on the top, and there were indeed clumps of crabs below, which were not small. I couldn't help but be surprised: "I have eaten soft-shell shrimp, but this soft-shell crab is really the first time to eat it." ”

"I'm right!" Ah Cheng said proudly: "This soft-shell crab can't be bought outside at all, so it must be eaten by the water." As soon as the crab has finished fading its shell, it has to be scooped up, and it should not be more than two hours from the time it comes out of the water to the time it is steamed, otherwise the crab shell will become hard. It was only when I got here that I learned that there was such a dish. Come on, come on, taste it!"

Wang Dalun sandwiched one and bit a crab leg, the crab meat inside was full, and the outer shell was like a membrane, and it was slightly chewy, very Q bomb.

"Although it's not the season to eat crabs, crabs are the fattest when they shed their shells, hey, you don't want to take a bite out of the crab shell, and the comb and Fahai inside have to be taken out, this thing is not good to eat, it's too cold!" Ah Cheng instructed him how to eat while eating.

The six crabs were one by one, and after all the stomachs were down, and after three rounds of drinking, the topic of the two slowly turned to the topic.

"What's going on with Zhuang Zhuang today? I just took two shots. ”

When filming in the afternoon, Ah Cheng was still setting up the scene outside, and he didn't know what was going on.

Wang Dalun told him about the shooting in the afternoon, and at the same time, he inevitably felt a little unfair for Hu Jingfan and said: "Actually, I think Xiao Hu is still good a few times, is Director Tian too demanding? I think he seems to be under a lot of pressure." ”

Ah Cheng shook his head with a smile and said: "It's normal to have a lot of pressure, which director doesn't have much pressure when filming? You may not know that the reason why Zhuang Zhuang has high requirements for Xiaohu is because Xiaohu plays a jade pattern." ”

Hey, what's wrong with playing the jade pattern? Wang Dalun doesn't quite understand.

Seeing the confusion on his face, Ah Cheng couldn't help but laugh proudly, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Yuwen is Zhuangzhuang's dream lover, how many years have he been thinking about it." Why is he so obsessed with "Spring in a Small Town" and has to do it again? This is his long-standing dream. That's why he has such high requirements for Xiaohu, he just wants to shoot the most beautiful things in his mind.

I also tell you a secret, Zhuang Zhuang still treasures a lot of Wei Wei's movie posters, I heard him say that he is also going to invite Wei Wei from Hong Kong to the set to see, which can be regarded as his long-cherished wish for many years. ”

Wang Dalun couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, how old is Wei Wei, who played Fei Mu's version of "Spring in a Small Town", this year? Even if she was 20 years old when she played it, it has been more than 50 years now, at least she is over 70 years old. How old is Grange Zhuang, a few years old just fifty, the two are at least more than 20 years old, and they are still the dream lover of Grange Zhuang when he was young?

"Real or fake?" he felt incredulous.

Ah Cheng glanced at him with disdain, picked up the cup and took a sip of wine and said, "You don't understand this, do you? The aesthetic views of our generation back then didn't all like iron girls like Zhang Ruifang." In fact, people's aesthetic views are roughly the same, and they all like beautiful things. When I was young, I didn't have the same conditions as Zhuang Zhuang, he could see a lot of movies that were banned at that time, and he could see many pre-liberation movie stars like Wei Wei. Do you know who my dream girl was when I was younger?"

Ah Cheng and Grange Zhuang are about the same era, and the difference between the two is only three years old. In contrast, Grange Zhuang was born in a "wealthy" family, his parents are both meritorious artists, and his social status is very high, so he can naturally see many so-called "internal movies".

Wang Dalun looked at Ah Cheng curiously, roughly everyone will have a dream lover in adolescence, and he is also single-minded. He suddenly began to understand Grange, because he also remembered his dream lover in adolescence - Lin Qingxia, calculating the age, it seems that he and Lin Qingxia are also twenty years old, if he meets Lin Qingxia now, will he be excited? Of course, this is one of the best memories of his youth.

"My dream lover is Alain in "Heroes and Die Hard"! you didn't expect it, did you?" Ah Cheng said with a smile, he tilted his head slightly, as if immersed in the good memories of the beginning.

"At that time, I kept thinking about what a beautiful thing it would be if I could marry a woman like Wang Xiaotang in the future!"

"Heroes and Die Hard", Wang Dalun watched it I don't know how many times when he was a child, every time the factory logo of Bayi Film Studio appeared on TV, as well as the majestic music, every child was very excited at that time, because it was going to show a war movie. At that time, "Mine Warfare", "Tunnel Warfare", "Guerrillas on the Plains", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", "Heroes and Tiger Courage" and so on were their children's favorite movies.

At that time, they were still young and didn't know what it was, so whenever "Heroes and Die Hard" was played, Alain would scold with disdain: "Female spy!" But in retrospect, Alain, who twisted his waist gracefully with the music of the rumba, was indeed very pleasing to the eye.

And what is Alan doing now? The old lady is already in her sixties and almost seventy, and she is still a dignified female general, the director of the Bayi Factory, and she is definitely a remarkable figure in the circle.

"Then you met her later and told her?" Wang Dalun asked gossipingly.

Ah Cheng gave him a roll of the eyes, picked up the wine glass and touched it, smashed it and said, "How can this kind of thing be said, but I still asked Teacher Xiao Tang for an autograph and took a photo with her." Hey, I've said so much, and you can also tell me what your dream lover was like? ”

"I didn't. ”

"How could it not be? Don't hide it, talk about it. ”

"You said it yourself, and I didn't ask you to say it. I'll forget it......"

…………

The hasty end of the first day of filming seems to indicate that the shooting is not going well. First of all, a few days after the start of the film, photographer Li Pingbin's family suddenly had an accident, and he had to go back to the United States to deal with it, which took at least ten days to come and go, and could only be temporarily replaced by his assistant.

The other is the problem of the housekeeper Lao Huang, the old artist of Shanghai Renyi is really not suitable for the role of Lao Huang, Tianzhuang Zhuang wanted to see it again at first, but after watching it for a few days, he finally couldn't help it, and proposed to the producer Li Xiaowan to change the role.

It's a big deal, it's been almost ten days since filming started. Although the role of Lao Huang is only a supporting role, the scene is particularly fragmented, and almost all the shots that have been filmed are interspersed. For example, in the play of Yuwen, she has a lot of conversations with the housekeeper Lao Huang; for example, in Zhang Zhichen's play, when he comes to Dai's house, Lao Huang has to bring tea and water; and Dai Liyan, played by Wang Dalun, is Lao Huang is always ready to serve. If you change the role, almost all the things you shot in the first ten days will be invalidated, and you will have to start over, and the investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars will be wasted.

After a closed-door meeting between the director and the producer, Li Xiaowan still obeyed the request put forward by Tian Zhuangzhuang, changed the role, and went to Shanghai to reselect the actors.

The Grange seemed to be under pressure day by day, especially his beard, which made people look a lot haggard. Because Wang Dalun lives on the same floor as him, sometimes the door of his room is open, and when Wang Dalun passes by the door, he will always see him sitting in front of his laptop watching Fei Mu's version of "Spring in a Small Town" over and over again.

Wang Dalun subconsciously thinks that this does not seem to be a good thing. Fei Mu's version of "Spring in a Small Town" is certainly a classic, but if you watch it too much, you will naturally imitate it, which is definitely the deadliest thing for a remake, and people will say that you are plagiarism.

But later, according to Grangezhuang's own recollection, the reason why he watched it over and over again, and even watched each of them 50 to 100 times, was not to plagiarize or evade, but to eliminate his own doubts and hesitations about filming through Fei Mu's confident lens language and easy expression. He also joked that it was a conversation more than 50 years apart.

Because the crew was suspended for two days, fortunately, Li Xiaowan's efficiency was very high, and a retired old actor was soon invited. Although this old actor named Ye Xiaokeng does not have the popularity and qualifications of the old artist before, of course, changing into the clothes of the housekeeper Lao Huang made Tianzhuangzhuang's eyes light up.

In fact, Ye Xiaokeng is very old, in his sixties, and it has been seven years since he retired. But maybe it's very well maintained, it looks like it's in your early fifties, and your hair may have been dyed, and you can't see a single gray hair. Although the top of the head is bald, only a few hairs are neatly combed. The most important thing is that he is thin and relatively short, which is very in line with the image of Lao Huang in the mind of Tianzhuang Zhuang.

This teacher Ye used to work in the Children's Art Theater of the China Welfare Association, and was a translator at first, but later because he was a child star in Shanghai since he was a child, he had acting experience, so he gradually began to play some tricky roles, and he was ugly and had a treacherous appearance, so he basically played the villain role of children's dramas. It wasn't until the 90s that he began to appear in some movies and TV series, with very few scenes, and only in Shanghai, and his influence was not great.

In chatting with him, Tian Zhuangzhuang learned that he was originally from a large family in Shanghai, and that the family had housekeepers and servants until before the political movement.

Fei Mu's "Spring in a Small Town" is a movie from old Shanghai, which is also of great significance to Ye Xiaokeng, a child star who has been a child star in Shanghai since he was a child and loves movies. When Li Xiaowan invited him, he immediately agreed. And in the face of the director's "interview", he specially imitated the habitual movements and tone of speech of his housekeeper back then. Grange Zhuang was very excited after watching it, and the first scene of the next day was arranged for the housekeeper Lao Huang's play.

Li Pingbin's assistant won the true biography of Li Pingbin in terms of shooting techniques, the camera was set up in the room, and he slowly retreated, only to see Ye Xiaokeng in a dark gray cardigan walking along the corridor on the other side of the zigzag corridor outside the door. He doesn't walk in a hurry like the old artist of Shanghai Renyi, he is unhurried, and in the local dialect here he is called "Du Youyou".

"Young Master!"

He walked to the door, shouted, but received no response, leaned in and looked inside, before crossing the threshold and entering the outer room.

The camera retreats from the outer room to the inner room, and I see him walking to the door of the inner room, and he stands by the door a little deliberately, and does not look inside, because the inside is where the owner lives, according to the old saying, this is called "do not look at the indecent".

"Young Master!"

He shouted again, but still received no response, and then he stepped into the back room, and saw that the lamp on the desk was on, and he immediately went over and turned it off. At this time, he found that there was a scarf wearing Liyan hanging on the armrest of the chair, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to himself: "What a young master! I don't know how to wear a scarf when I go out." ”

Then very carefully, shake off the scarf neatly, fold it, and hang it on your arm. As he walked out, he sighed and said, "Alas, I'm going to get cold!"

It is the rule not to hold it in your hands, but to hang it on your arm, so as not to stain the owner's scarf. The corners of Tianzhuang Zhuang's mouth, who saw this scene on the monitor, couldn't help but curl.

As Ye Xiaokeng walked out of the camera, the camera was fixed on the window in front of the desk in the back room, and through the window, the gray and bare walls of the front hall were outside......
