Chapter 278: The Highest Standard of Performance
Lou Ye has a lot of money this time, and as soon as the contract with Wang Dalun was finalized, he paid 30% of the salary in advance. In fact, he was also afraid of www.biquge.info female No. 1 Zhou Xun, who originally fancied, but was suspected that the coffee position was not big enough by the investor, so he forcibly replaced Zhang Ziyi, for fear that the investor would make another mistake in his brain and change Wang Dalun who he fancied.
200,000, deducting the commission of 160,000 yuan, so that Wang Dalun, who was picking at the rope during this time, suddenly relaxed a lot, this time he was not stingy, and raised the cost standard of the original budget Hong Kong tour from 100,000 to 200,000 at once, which made his girlfriend very satisfied. In addition to the first three days when the two of them went around and tasted food, when they entered shopping mode in the next few days, because his girlfriend was accompanied by Jacob's wife, he took the opportunity to laze in the hotel room to read the script.
In fact, he had already memorized the script, and he had grown a beard in advance, because the character Song Jinming in the script had a son who was in junior high school and was a few years older than him.
He doesn't belong to the beard type, and the density of the beard is not high, so he has a beard, and the upper two sides and the chin are sparse, which belongs to the commonly known dog oil beard. Fan Ziyi looked very disgusted, which was one of the reasons why he agreed to stay in the hotel room to read the script, because he was afraid of embarrassment if he took it out.
On December 27, under the farewell of Jacob and his wife, the two returned with a full load. Wang Dalun didn't stop and got on a flight to Taiyuan early the next morning. Fan Ziyi was very helpless, but fortunately, Liu Ling didn't have any filming, and the two women lived together.
Winter is the peak period of coal demand, and for some well-known reason, ordinary small coal mines are reluctant to let the crew enter the filming. Li Yang didn't know how many friends he trusted, and finally found a small private coal kiln in a small county in the northwest of Shanxi Province that was willing to provide filming. And because the filming will inevitably affect their production, they have to pay the coal mine boss a thousand yuan a day for lost work.
It's been almost a week since the crew started filming, and the male number one has not arrived, in order to save money, the crew temporarily filmed the footage of Yuan Fengming wandering around the city with a bed and a broken schoolbag on his back and some materials needed for post-editing. At the same time, it also allows this patchwork grass platform team to have a run-in process.
arrived at the guest house in the county seat, as soon as the two sides met, Li Yang originally had some concerns, you said that Wang Dalun was filming and traveling, for fear that he would be difficult to enter the role for a while. But as soon as he saw the sparse dog oil mustache on Wang Dalun's lips and chin, his face was a little more old and obscene, and he instantly became down-to-earth.
What is this? That's what a professional actor qualifies.
"This is Hu Xiaoye, this is Wang Shuangbao, this is Sun Wei, this is Quiet ......"
For a crew of more than 40 people, Li Yang picked a few main creators to introduce to him one by one.
Photographer Liu Yonghong is an old acquaintance, and the planning and photography assistant Hua Qing have just cooperated, and this product was used as an assistant to photographer Hou Yong in the crew of "Manhole Cover", but he didn't expect to come here again in a blink of an eye. Assistant director Bao Zhenjiang has also seen it before, he is not only the assistant director this time, but also plays the role of the mine chief in the play.
Producer Hu Xiaoye, in his thirties, Wang Dalun doesn't know, it is said that he is well-known in the industry, and he was specially found by Li Yang; Sun Wei, thin and tall, is a friend of Li Yang, and plays the first victim in the play, Tang Chaoxia; Quiet is the female number one in the play, in fact, it is said to be the female number one, but there are only a few scenes, and there are also scenes of dew*, I don't know where Li Yang found the newcomer, but this girl is white and pure, and she is a very beautiful person.
The previous Wang Dalun all shook hands and greeted them one by one reservedly, but when they arrived at Wang Shuangbao, they shouted very affectionately: "Brother Bao!"
Although it was the first time they met, he had definitely been friends with Wang Shuangbao for a long time. When he had nothing to figure out his acting skills, he specially watched "12.1 Shooting Case" starring Wang Shuangbao, and he was very impressed by the fierce eyes, heart-warming gangsterism and rustic spirit of Dong Lei played by Wang Shuangbao.
Wang Shuangbao is obviously a little flattered, he is a Peking Opera martial artist, but he is just a newcomer in this industry, and the one in front of him is undoubtedly the biggest coffee in the group, the new actor of Nantes on three continents. Although he is usually more taciturn, he still hurriedly held Wang Dalun's hand at this time, and smiled very sincerely: "Dalun, let's partner up in the future, take care of it!"
"Ouch, you're so polite. ”
After the introduction, Wang Dalun looked around and asked Li Yang: "Hey, didn't you say that you found a child named Wang Baoqiang to play Yuan Fengming, what about others?"
To say that his biggest surprise in this filming is undoubtedly that Wang Baoqiang will actually star in Yuan Fengming, one of the three protagonists. From a wage earner to a first-line star, Wang Baoqiang is undoubtedly a perfect example of the later counterattack, and he is also the one that cannot be replicated.
Wang Dalun always thought that Wang Baoqiang was famous for his role as a fool in Feng Xiaogang's movie "No Thieves in the World", but he didn't expect Li Yang to find him before this, and it is said that this product is only eighteen years old this year.
Li Yang was not surprised when he heard Wang Dalun ask about Wang Baoqiang, originally the three of them played the most important roles in the play, especially Song Jinming played by Wang Dalun and Yuan Fengming's uncle and nephew played by Wang Baoqiang, and the two had the most opponents. Before filming begins, it's important to get acquainted with each other.
He was a little crying and laughing: "This kid has been acting for a few days, his bones are so light, he actually lost his own, the scene notes, the makeup, and the costume script, I scolded him, and now he is hiding in the room." ”
"Poof!" Wang Dalun couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, this scene couldn't help but remind him of the Wang Bao who made Xu Lang unlucky if he was not careful. It seems that this thing was born with a funny aura.
However, he immediately realized that Wang Baoqiang would definitely cause trouble to the filming if he lost so many people's scripts, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Yang waved his hand and said helplessly: "Actually, this kid is really good, oh no, it's not acting, I think he is Yuan Fengming in his bones, but he can't help boasting, and when he praises, he will ......be dizzy."
Saying that, Li Yang's heart suddenly moved, and he said again: "Either the two of you will be in the same room, so that you can also get acquainted with each other." ”
"Okay!" Wang Dalun readily agreed, he originally wanted to see the perfect example of this dick's counterattack.
……
Torn tracksuits, torn sneakers, short hair, black face, short stature, and a smile showing a white tooth...... is similar to the stupid root in Wang Dalun's impression, but it is thinner, his eyes are clearer, and he looks more childish.
When Li Yang brought him in before, he specially introduced him to Wang Baoqiang, this is the Nantes actor, the male number one in the play, playing Song Jinming.
In fact, there is no need for Li Yang to introduce him, Wang Baoqiang has heard about it a long time ago, but he is not very familiar with Wang Dalun, and the only impression he has is probably the ruthless, but very righteous killer Luo Yang in "The True Colors of the Criminal Police". However, the title of an actor is enough to deter him, a rookie.
"Uncle, do you drink water?" Wang Baoqiang stood timidly in the center of the room, looking at this actor who was a head taller than him, and at this time his expression was serious, and the actor who was sitting on the edge of the bed with a big horse golden knife tried very hard to squeeze out a smile.
"Smack!" Wang Dalun lit a cigarette, in fact, he wanted to tease this stupid boy who was born with funny attributes as soon as he entered the door, but he couldn't bear to see him like this.
To tell the truth, his declining appearance is the same as the hairy children he met at the construction site in his previous life who had just come out to work and didn't understand anything. Maybe I was like this when I came out of my hometown.
"I heard you studied martial arts at the Shaolin Temple?" he asked.
"Well!" Wang Baoqiang nodded hurriedly and replied honestly: "I started practicing martial arts at the age of six, and from the age of eight to fourteen, I studied in the Shaolin Temple for six years. ”
"Then you have been a monk for the past six years?"
"No, I'm a lay disciple, the kind who doesn't need to shave my head. ”
"So you're good, how many can you fight with one?"
"The purpose of our Shaolin martial arts is to strengthen the body, not to fight bravely. We can't fight. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, ask how many you can fight, I don't believe you haven't fought. ”
"Uncle, I really haven't beaten before. Wang Baoqiang's expression was about to cry.
"Uh...... Then what are you doing studying martial arts?"
"I want to be a kung fu star! Our ancestors have passed down a set of boxing techniques, and I have practiced them since I was a child. Later, after watching "Shaolin Temple", I had the idea of making a kung fu movie, so I went to Shaolin Temple, how could I think that I could make a movie if I went to Shaolin Temple, but after studying for a few years, it's not like that, people don't make movies. Later, I came to the capital and worked as an extra......"
Well, I have had dreams since I was a child, and it is really inspirational.
Wang Dalun glanced at him and asked, "Then you have practiced martial arts since you were a child, have you ever gone to school?"
"I have been there, we practiced martial arts in the morning and evening, and studied cultural classes in the afternoon......"
Wang Baoqiang is very honest and answers, but he is always a little uneasy, he doesn't know why this actor uncle has so much, so he almost didn't check the eight generations of their ancestors.
Although Wang Baoqiang shouted one uncle after another, Wang Dalun didn't mind, the plot was set up like this, not to mention that he enjoyed it a lot.
Considering that Wang Dalun had just reported to the crew, Li Yang intended to let him get used to it a little, and he was not in a hurry to pull the crew to a small coal mine with good contact, and continued to stay in the county to shoot.
But Wang Baoqiang was in a situation at this time, Xu was scolded by Li Yang yesterday for losing the script, this product was not as open as a few days ago, and he shrank back when acting, and he couldn't enter the situation. A shot of him turning around in the square of the county railway station with luggage and a broken schoolbag was NG seven or eight times. Li Yang even stopped to talk to him, but it didn't work.
The crew's funds were already tight, and there were a number of films, so in desperation, Li Yang had to temporarily decide to shoot the scenes of Wang Dalun and Wang Shuangbao first, and at the same time ordered Wang Baoqiang to watch carefully on the side to see how other actors' actors acted.
Originally, this scene was filmed in the afternoon, but now it has to be moved to the morning, and Li Yang's requirements are extremely meticulous, all kinds of extras and group performances must be in place one by one, and the crew is suddenly busy.
Wang Dalun put on makeup, changed his clothes, and sat there to watch. The scene in front of him suddenly looked very similar to the scene when he filmed "Xiao Wu" in Fenyang.
Because in addition to him and Wang Shuangbao, the hotel proprietress made a cameo appearance by the makeup artist of the crew, and the waiter found a very delicate little girl from the local art school, and then the extras in the square, the beggars are still beggars, and the soliciting lady is still a miss, and they usually do whatever they want, just give them a little extra fee and let them cooperate with the camera.
The crew worked for more than an hour, and everything was finally ready.
This scene is about Song Jinming played by Wang Dalun and Tang Chaoyang played by Wang Shuangbao who just finished a vote, got the money, and then moved to another city and began to look for new prey.
Wang Dalun wore a velvet hat, a light gray torn cotton jacket, and a red sweater that was about to wash and shed, according to the clothing, these clothes were borrowed from fellow villagers, but they were all washed and disinfected.
Wang Shuangbao was wearing a torn leather jacket, wearing a broken Lei Feng hat on his head, and the ear protectors on one side were hanging like this, and he was carrying a snakeskin bag with his hands in his trouser pockets.
Wang Dalun was carrying a blanket in one hand and a military kettle hanging from the bottom of it, and in the other hand he was carrying a faded artificial leather bag, and the two walked all the way out of the train station and walked on the bustling street.
This is a long shot, Li Yang asked Liu Yonghong to set the camera far away, he used to shoot documentaries, and he used to use the lens to examine everything from the perspective of a documentary, so his requirements are natural and real.
Wang Shuangbao has taken two shots before, Li Yang is very satisfied, the reason why he was chosen in the first place is because Wang Shuangbao has both a fierce and vicious side and a sloppy migrant worker side in "12.1 Shooting Case".
On the contrary, he was a little worried about Wang Dalun, not that he questioned his acting skills, but that the time was too short, and he was afraid that he would not enter the situation set by the role so quickly.
From the beginning of being admitted to the National Theater, to later studying directing, art history, specializing in drama, film and television theory, from acting, directing, and screenwriting, Li Yang has studied for almost seventeen or eighteen years. He knows very well that acting classes often say "experience" very profoundly, and the "experience" he understands is not the kind of performance that can only be carried on his shoulders when he collapses, his understanding is very simple, that is, natural and real.
So in his opinion, if an actor is mixed with miners or passers-by, and others can't recognize him as an actor, it is the highest standard of performance. Actors mingle in the crowd, and the surrounding crowd often has the ability to facilitate the performance of some talented actors, but also poses an insurmountable obstacle to the vast majority of actors.
Wang Shuangbao undoubtedly belongs to the former, but is Wang Dalun?
Li Yang didn't even sit next to the monitor, but stood directly next to Liu Yonghong, looking at the framed frame of the machine.
I saw the two of them walking in a hurry, crossing the road, giving way to the car, Wang Shuangbao carrying a snakeskin bag on his back, his hands in his trouser pockets, walking more freely, and a little ahead.
Wang Dalun carried the cover and package in each hand, his steps were a little messy, and they mixed in the crowd without the slightest abruptness.
In fact, for Wang Dalun, this feeling is too familiar to him, in his previous life, he was one of the hundreds of millions of migrant workers, and he was in such a hurry to find the next job after a project ended. This panic and restlessness born from the heart is because his next job is related to his livelihood, and everything is unknown until he finds the next job.
During this period, a beggar pulled his luggage when he walked by, and he turned his head suddenly, glaring at the beggar fiercely, and the frightened beggar quickly withdrew his hand and turned his head.
All of this is not in the script, it is all the free play of the actors, Li Yang, whose eyes were already shining, saw this scene with a smile on his face.
That's right, the two actors he was looking for were too right. Especially Wang Dalun, it is simply seamless.
After the camera continued to follow them for a while, he decisively shouted, "Click!"
