Chapter 243: The Night Banquet

"Hey, what's going on with this mosquito coil?"

"Director, there are a ......lot of mosquitoes in this old house," a staff member replied weakly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"There's smoke coming up from this thing, take it, take it!"

"Hey, props, this is a birthday party, you just put two plates of cucumbers, you don't feel cold!"

"It's a hot day, and everything I prepared before smells good. ”

"You let the kitchen make it......! Just fry a shredded pork with green pepper or shredded pork with green vegetables or something, it has to have a color, and it looks oily when you hit it alone. ”

"Understand the director, right away!"

"Light ,......"

is about to start filming is a major scene, Dai Xiu's birthday, and all five characters in the play are concentrated in one shot, this scene is a turning point in the whole play.

Compared with the sluggish Dai Liyan in Fei Mu's version of "Spring in a Small Town", Dai Liyan asked by Grange Zhuang was vigilant. It was at the little sister's birthday banquet that he became aware of Zhang Zhichen and Yuwen's private relationship, and then he learned the reason why Yuwen and him lived unhappily.

Because the scene is a ten-minute long take, the five actors rehearsed for an entire afternoon, including antiphons, various movements, and so on. After dinner, I lined up twice, and after Grange Zhuang was satisfied, he was ready to officially start filming.

Wang Dalun wore a sweatshirt and beach pants and leaned against the pillar in the corridor outside to smoke. No way, the weather is too hot, and the cheongsam usually can't be worn at all, and only when I am about to stand in front of the camera will I put it on temporarily, and I always sweat after every shot.

He was watching Ah Cheng fiddle with two oil lamps. These two lamps are similar in style, both of which are of the kind of high-legged copper pillars, with a glass cover on them, but the belly of the lamp with oil in the middle is a little different, one is cloisonné enamel, and the other is dark red ceramic. These two things were purchased by Ah Cheng at a large price, and they are said to be antiques.

Wang Dalun didn't understand this very well, and asked, "Hey, Uncle Cheng, why don't these two match?"

Ah Cheng glanced at him and said disdainfully: "It's good if you don't match, it's worth if you don't match, do you understand? Antiques are rare and expensive, and of course one thing is more valuable than two of the same thing." Also, do you know why I have to use two different oil lamps?"

The town has to have a power outage every night, and only oil lamps can be lit at Xiaomei's birthday party, and one is definitely not enough, so two lights are used.

Ah Cheng didn't wait for him to answer, and proudly revealed the answer: "This kind of oil lamp is rarely matched, and in the past, large families generally made their own custom. After the popularization of electric lights, the use of oil lamps decreased. The Dai family's compound temporarily took out the oil lamps because of the power outage, and the lack of matching appeared more real. ”

As he spoke, he took special care of him and said: "When you shoot later, you ask them to pay attention, beware of not touching it, these are all antiques!"

"Hey!"

…………

The work efficiency of the props is very high, and there are four dishes and one soup on the table, a plate of peanuts, a plate of braised fish, and a plate of shredded green pepper meat that is fried in the kitchen according to the director's requirements. But it doesn't matter, this kind of dish is originally a prop, and no one will take it seriously.

Ah Cheng's two baby oil lamps were lit and placed on both sides of the table, in order to create an atmosphere of power outage, there was no light next to it, only a spotlight hit the table directly from above, the light was very concentrated, and as soon as it left the table, it was not clear to see.

Li Pingbin, who had just returned from the United States a few days ago, set up the machine in the corner of the hall, and the camera was pointed at the table, he looked at it from the frame, frowned slightly, and said: "Is this light too dim? ”

Tianzhuang Zhuang hurriedly walked over and looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "That's right, I just want this kind of flickering light and dark situation." ”

The actor began to be in place, Wang Dalun sat in the main seat with his back to the camera in a long shirt and a golden knife, Xin Baiqing wearing a shirt and vest on the left, and today's little birthday star Sisi on the right, the seat opposite was vacant, and the jade pattern played by Hu Jingfan would only enter the camera later.

"Sisi, you behaved well in the afternoon, and you treat acting as your birthday. When it was over, Grange Zhuang gave another instruction.

"Got it, director. ”

The little girl is not very old, but she is precocious than her peers. But then again, how many of the little girls who can eat this line of food are not precocious? Especially the Xiaolin girl who sang at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games a few years later, she has long been familiar with the world at a young age.

However, Lu Sisi's recent progress is still quite large, although her performance in the past few days is still very naïve, but on the whole it is much better than when she was rehearsing in the capital.

"Okay, all units ready!"

"Photography OK!"

"It's okay to get on the radio!"

The crew is ready, and the scene notes are played:

“action!”

Xin Baiqing carried a quaint tin wine jug and poured wine for Lu Sisi, who was sitting opposite, and said with a smile: "Little sister, today is your sixteenth birthday, come on, drink!"

Although Dai Liyan deliberately wanted to marry his little sister to him, his smile on his little sister was still the kind of brother-to-sister smile, not the obscene smile of "Little sister, today is your sixteenth birthday, come on, uncle will take you to see the goldfish".

"Brother Zhang, then you have to respect me. Lu Sisi stood up with a smile, because she had rehearsed many times before, she naturally turned her head to look at Wang Dalun who was sitting on the main seat.

Etiquette is something in the bones of large families.

"Okay, I respect you!" Xin Baiqing stood up and clinked glasses with her, tilting his head to drink.

"I don't drink!" The little girl saw Xin Baiqing drinking, her little conspiracy succeeded, and she said triumphantly with a wine glass.

At this time, Ye Xiaokeng walked in from outside the door with a brass wine jug and entered the mirror, and the old man filled up the wine jug on the table with a festive smile on his face.

"If you want to drink, you must drink! Liyan, you see, how can anyone not drink on his birthday!" Xin Baiqing deliberately complained.

Ye Xiaokeng poured Xin Baiqing's cup full of wine again, and said with an apologetic smile: "The electricity has been off for an afternoon, and it hasn't come yet." ”

Wang Dalun, who only showed half of his side face in the camera, smiled slightly, and said in a soft voice in Dai Liyan's usual slow tone: "It's okay like this, it's quite emotional." ”

"Hey, what about the jade pattern?" Xin Baiqing sat down and looked left and right, but didn't find Hu Jingfan.

As soon as his words fell, he saw Lu Sisi stand up and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law is here, sister-in-law, you are so beautiful today!"

Xin Baiqing turned around when she heard this, Hu Jingfan came from the door, she was wearing a blue cheongsam today, and she specially collected her waist, a sapphire necklace, and a red silk scarf tied on the button under her armpit.

Xin Baiqing's eyes suddenly burst into light.

Hu Jingfan glanced at him meaningfully, walked to the table and sat down.

"Yuwen, come, I respect you!" Xin Baiqing hurriedly stood up with his wine glass and said.

Lu Sisi interrupted on the side, "Brother Zhang, today is my birthday, you have to respect me!"

"I respected you just now, you don't drink!" Xin Baiqing teased her angrily, and immediately smiled dotingly: "Okay, I respect you!"

Ruth chuckled.

Xin Baiqing was about to drink, but seeing that Lu Sisi was pretending again, he deliberately kept a straight face, and said dissatisfied: "Look!"

"Giggles, you drink, I'll eat vegetables! My sister-in-law has prepared so many dishes for me today!" the little girl said confidently.

"Okay, I'll drink!"

It is rare for the family to be so lively, Wang Dalun looked happy, changed his usual image of Brother Yan, turned his head to Lu Sisi and said with a smile: "Little sister, do you remember the ...... I taught you?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gave her a thumbs up and guessed his fist with her: "Quan Fushou......!

"Yo, you can draw fists! Come on, come on, I'll come with you!" Xin Baiqing was very interested today, and took the initiative to participate.

"I haven't learned it all yet!" said Ruth, coquettishly.

Wang Dalun looked at her with a smile and said, "You can try." ”

"All the blessings, one by one"

"Five Leaders!"

"Eight Horses ......"

"No, no, no!"

The little girl loses to Raippi.

"If you lose, you have to drink!" Xin Baiqing was not polite

"Big brother—" Lu Sisi looked at Wang Dalun for help.

Wang Dalun shook his head as if he was self-deprecating, "If the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy, I will drink!"

"Etiquette, you can't drink. As a doctor, Xin Baiqing hurriedly stopped.

"I drink. Yuwen unexpectedly took the cup, "I'll drink it for Liyan and Xiaomei." After saying that, he raised his head and drank.

Xin Baiqing's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity as he looked at her.

"Brother Zhang, let's guess Dongchai (a southern way of guessing boxing)!"

Dai Xiu played by Lu Sisi is because it is her birthday, and there is Brother Zhang, who she secretly likes, she is a little crazy while she is happy, she is not convinced after losing a game just now, and she is clamoring to use her own way of guessing boxing.

"No problem!

"Guess the ......"

"Guess knock, guess! Ha, Brother Zhang, you lost!"

Lu Sisi and Xin Baiqing were boxing, Hu Jingfan looked at it with a smile, and helped her sister-in-law with a few chopsticks from time to time.

Looking at the lively atmosphere on the table, Wang Dalun stood up with a smile and slowly walked around to Hu Jingfan's side.

As a wife, Hu Jingfan hurriedly stood up and helped her husband sit down in her seat.

"Guess the knock...... Guess!Oh—Brother Zhang, you've lost again!" the little girl clapped her hands happily.

"Lose, I drink. "Xin Baiqing is very bold, pour full of wine, cheers!

Wang Dalun watched the two of them guess boxing warmly, and while Xin Baiqing was drinking, he gently patted the back of his wife's hand and instructed: "Don't drink too much!"

"Hmm!" Hu Jingfan, who originally had a smile on her face and her eyes had been on Xin Baiqing, lowered her eyelids and hummed softly.

"Brother Zhang, come again, come again!"

"I'm not coming, I can't drink anymore. Xin Baiqing waved his hand, he just played two games just to make the little girl happy.

He then turned to Wang Dalun and said, "Liyan, you have been to Sichuan, let's draw Sichuan boxing." ”

Wang Dalun pondered, stretched out his hand to gesture, and said in Sichuan pronunciation: "One crab comes, eight legs ......"

"Right!" Xin Baiqing happily patted him on the shoulder, and the two of them drew Sichuan fists.

Obviously, Wang Dalun is not good at this, and he was defeated without two strokes.

He picked up the wine glass and was about to punish the wine, Xin Bai hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, Liyan, I'll drink it for you." ”

"I'll come!" Hu Jingfan also said on the side.

Wang Dalun's eyelids lifted slightly, and he quietly put the cup to the side, and said, "Lao Huang, help me drink this glass of wine." ”

Ye Xiaokeng, who was sitting at a small table at the door to eat, hurriedly stood up with a wine jug and ran over happily, while not forgetting to explain to him, "Young master can't drink." ”

"Good, good!" Xin Baiqing smiled and applauded.

But Hu Jingfan unexpectedly grabbed in front of Ye Xiaokeng again, reached out and picked up the wine glass that Wang Dalun had placed on the other side of the table, and drank it all under the surprised eyes of everyone!

"Young grandma is so drunk!" Ye Xiaokeng was keenly aware of the young master's displeasure, and hurriedly pretended to be very surprised.

Wang Dalun looked at his wife with concern and said, "Can you drink?"

Hu Jingfan nodded lightly.

Xin Baiqing said to Wang Dalun with a big grin: "Hey, she can drink it, I couldn't drink her before, hehe!"

He was drinking to the end, and pulled Ye Xiaokeng, who was pouring wine, and said, "Come, Lao Huang, let's come!"

"This ......" Ye Xiaokeng was a little overwhelmed.

"Lao Huang, do you want to play with Brother Zhang!" Lu Sisi laughed loudly.

The little master spoke, Ye Xiaokeng naturally had nothing to say, and he humorously joked with Xin Baiqing: "Okay, young master Zhang, if you lose, you can't rely on Pi Yo!"

"Come on, come on!"

Xin Baiqing has always been very arrogant.

"Eight horses!"

"Six-six-six......"

Lu Sisi clapped her hands to cheer for Lao Huang.

Hu Jingfan helped her husband pick up vegetables and serve soup to her sister-in-law.

None of them noticed that the smile on Wang Dalun's face, who was sitting in the middle, had already condensed, although Zhang Zhichen had said before that he and Yuwen had been neighbors since childhood. But hearing what he said just now, it was obvious that Zhichen knew more about jade patterns than his husband, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Xin Baiqing and Ye Xiaokeng fought and lost again.

While cheering loudly, Lu Sisi also felt nostalgic for the lively birthday banquet organized by her sister-in-law for her, and hugged Hu Jingfan.

Seeing the scene of his wife and little sister hugging, Wang Dalun's face finally showed a relieved smile.

Hu Jingfan picked up the wine glass to wish the little sister a happy birthday, and the crazy little sister rushed to taste what the wine tasted like, but she choked after taking a small sip.

Wang Dalun was also driven, he felt that he didn't drink at this table, he didn't care about his illness, took the cup in his little sister's hand, and said softly to Hu Jingfan: "I'll drink with you." ”

But as soon as I took a sip, I couldn't help coughing.

Finally relieved, he picked up vegetables for Xin Baiqing. But the wife next to him poured a glass of wine and walked to Xin Baiqing's side, gently pushed Xin Baiqing, who was immersed in eating, and said with a wave of eyes: "Come, I'll come with you!"

"Hey?" Wang Dalun noticed his wife's abnormality today, and didn't want her to drink too much, so he gently pulled her arm, trying to stop it.

Hu Jingfan ignored him, shook off his hand, stared at Xin Baiqing and said, "I won't come with you to guess Dongchai, and I won't come with you to Fu Lushou, I'll come to this ...... with you" said, and made a few fist gestures at him.

"Oh-I will!" the innocent little girl likes to be lively the most, and she starts to make a fuss again.

Seeing that the little sister was happy, Wang Dalun barely showed a smile on his face, but he heard Xin Baiqing, who was already a little drunk, stand up and said to Hu Jingfan with a nonchalant look: "You used to come often! But you didn't win much." ”

Xin Baiqing's unintentional words once again revealed that his previous relationship with Yuwen was definitely not a simple neighbor relationship, and Wang Dalun's face suddenly became gloomy.

He doesn't have many lines in this scene, and there are more and more interactions between Xin Baiqing and Hu Jingfan, and even a big cup at the end, which always provokes his sensitive nerves. He walked slowly around the table, watching his wife's happy face, a smile that hadn't been on her face for a long time. Especially when he found that his wife was looking at the active Xin Baiqing, the kind of light flashing in her eyes stung him for a while.

He felt more and more that he was the superfluous person, and at last no one bothered him, and walked lonely towards the door. At this time, the careful Lao Huang had already lit the lantern and carefully opened the way for him in front.

And the wine table in the hall behind him was still lively......

"Click!"

A ten-minute shot finally ended, and Xin Baiqing, Hu Jingfan and Lu Sisi, who were still pushing cups around the table just now, suddenly sat on the chair as if they had lost their spirits, and breathed a sigh of relief. In this scene, the three of them have the most interactive lines, and there can be no mistakes in the real shooting, and the spirit is highly tense, and this fatigue is far from being comparable to rehearsals.

Wang Dalun and Ye Xiaokeng, who walked out of the door, also came in from outside. The gaffer turned on the lights, and the originally dim hall suddenly lit up, and the Grange took off the headset and walked over.

"Bai Qing, your excitement just now was not enough. You and Yuwen are first lovers, and you have reunited after a long absence, and you have not married because you still love Yuwen. But Yuwen was not happy, you sympathized with Yuwen, and even thought about taking her away. So, today is not so much about your little sister's birthday, but rather about drinking to kill your sorrows. So you should be a little more unrestrained, especially after getting drunk, you have to get rid of your previous worries and show your originally suppressed side. ”

"Got it, director!" Xin Baiqing nodded as he recalled his performance just now.

Then Tianzhuang Zhuang pointed out Hu Jingfan's question: "Xiaohu, your problem is similar to Bai Qing's, today you are not the jade pattern that was suppressed in the past, today you are the jade pattern that is out of the way, understand?"

"Got it, Director!"

"Sisi, you're still the same old problem. I told you before, you don't care about the camera, you just treat it as if it's your birthday today, you have to be natural, your expression can't be too exaggerated, and ......"

Tianzhuang commented one by one, and even Wang Dalun and Ye Xiaokeng also pointed out several shortcomings. This is a long shot, he didn't stop halfway, he had to wait until the whole performance was finished to find out the shortcomings of each person.

And don't look at Xin Baiqing, Hu Jingfan and Lu Sisi in this scene, but the focus is on Wang Dalun, although he doesn't have many lines, but his keen awareness of everything that happened at the wine table, and the ensuing change in mood is the key to this scene, and it is also the turning point of the whole play.

In fact, this kind of scene is very difficult for Wang Dalun, he can't express it through lines, and the rest is the subtle changes in movements, eyes and facial expressions, but not too obvious.

Although Wang Dalun had already done countless homework in his mind, he heard the few deficiencies pointed out by Tian Zhuangzhuang, and thought carefully about the performance he had just made, there were indeed some flaws.

"Hmm...... Let's take a fifteen-minute break, and then we'll do another one later. ”

Grange Zhuang originally wanted to shout again, but seeing everyone's tired appearance, he also wanted to set aside a little time for them to digest their opinions just now, so he temporarily changed his words.
