Chapter 174: The Greenhouse

"Hey, you've been doing well lately, haven't you?"

Wang Dalun nested on an old sofa to call his girlfriend, the recent shooting schedule is very tight, he has not talked to his girlfriend on the phone for a few days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's good, I wanted to call you last night, I didn't call you for fear of disturbing you, why are you free today?" Fan Ziyi knew that he had been very busy recently, and he didn't take the initiative to call to disturb him.

"I'm waiting for the show, so I'm thinking of calling you. Wang Dalun said with a smile.

"Yo, think of me now!" Fan Ziyi snorted, "Where are you now?"

"No, in Pingyao. ”

The crew has been wandering around Fenyang, Pingyao and the countryside around these two counties during this time, and the two counties of Pingyao and Fenyang coincide in the movie. For example, the place where he is staying now is a room on the second floor of an old dormitory building on the edge of the city wall of Pingyao, which is Yin Ruijuan's home and the new house after Cui Mingliang and Yin Ruijuan got married. The old sofa he sat on was a special prop in the movie, Cui Mingliang's house appeared, Yin Ruijuan also appeared, and the red double happiness pillow towel became the furniture of Cui Mingliang and Yin Ruijuan's new house after they got married.

When it comes to Pingyao, in addition to the city wall, it is always necessary to talk about its typical mountain and west houses, where there is a Ming and Qing Dynasty style street specially repaired for tourists, as if this has a sense of history. But people don't seem to want to remember the history around them, in fact, there are some typical buildings in the sixties and seventies in every county, such as the movie theater behind the dormitory building through the back window at this time. Because the current cinema has basically lost its function, no one wants to watch movies, especially in the county town, so it almost remains as built, and there are still exquisite images of workers, peasants and soldiers on the roof.

Lao Jia is now filming the scene of the Wen Zhou hair salon on the Ming and Qing Dynasty streets, Zhang Jun took Zhong Ping to the Wen Zhou hair salon to perm his hair, this is a cutscene, the time span of the movie is ten years, Lao Jia will mix political events with personal matters every time, providing a historical context, and jointly outlining a timeline.

The combination of Zhong Ping's perm in Wenzhou and the street demonstrations promoting family planning serves as a historical marker that this is the year family planning was implemented, that is, in 1979.

For another example, when Zhang Jun accompanied Zhong Ping to have an abortion, the sound of the 35th anniversary military parade was being played on the radio of the hospital, which also indicated the historical period.

“…… I'm here for the second scene, and the first scene was filmed on the street, and I've been waiting for almost two hours, and I haven't finished filming yet......"

Wang Dalun chatted on the phone about the trivialities of filming. Although the progress of filming during this period of time is very fast, due to Lao Jia's occasional offences, there are occasional delays. For example, today Zhang Jun took Zhong Ping to the Wenzhou hair salon for a perm, and the extras in the hair salon, he had to find an authentic Wenzhou person, and Wang Yu, another assistant director, had great powers, and searched through Pingyao County, but he found three Wenzhou people who sold cloth and invited them to come over to make cameos. And this was originally a cutscene, originally thought that it wouldn't take much time, so Gu Zheng took him and Zhao Tao here to prepare for the next scene, but the wait was more than two hours, and it was almost noon, and the cutscene in the hair salon had not been filmed yet, Gu Zheng called over and asked, saying that it had been filmed twice, and the director was not very satisfied, and now he was filming for the third time. It is estimated that the Wenzhou Hair Salon had any special memories in Lao Jia's growth process.

"Oh, I waited two hours before I remembered to call me, and I didn't want to be at all. Fan Ziyi said dissatisfiedly on the phone.

Wang Dalun could imagine that she was pouting and talking at this time, but the next second her excited voice came from the phone again: "Hey, let me tell you, I look good in a cheongsam!"

"Really?" Wang Dalun said in an exaggerated tone. He really wants to see his girlfriend wearing a cheongsam, his girlfriend is tall and smooth, and the only fly in the ointment seems to be that her breasts are a little smaller. In his impression, wearing a cheongsam must be ********, with a high slit and white thighs to show off her white thighs, so that she looks good, does his girlfriend really look good in a cheongsam?

"Of course it's true, you'll find out when you come back and see it. Fan Ziyi said proudly.

In order to ensure the quality of the play, Zhao Baogang specially invited a cheongsam design and tailoring master from the magic capital to tailor dozens of different types of cheongsams for the heroine in the play, and it is said that each person has more than ten sets. And because the heroines in the play are all rich daughters, they have recently invited teachers in physical etiquette to train them in this regard.

Therefore, it is no accident that Zhao Baogang's drama is filmed as a hit, in addition to having a good script, he is also extremely picky about the details and has been very well prepared. For example, the last time he filmed "Never Look Away", it was because Su Jin looked a little crotch-lifted when he walked, not like a resolute policeman, so he would rather put her play down first, and wait for her to correct her walking posture before filming.

Sanxiang started shooting in May, and now all the actors have basically been finalized, the male number one is Zhao Baogang's great appreciation, Zhao Wei's classmate Chen Kun, who was defeated in "Never Look Away", the second male number is the handsome young student Lu Yi who became popular in "Never Look Away", and Wang Dalun is barely the third male number. In terms of actresses, one of the two heroines is Zhou Xun, and the other is Lu Yi's classmate Luo Haiqi in the play, it is said that she was recommended by Modu TV, and this drama was jointly invested by Zhao Baogang Company and Modu TV. There are also Fan Lijun played by Fan Ziyi and An Qi played by Li Xiaoran.

It is said that Li Xiaoran has just signed a contract with Xinbaoyuan Company, this beautiful girl who once became Wang Dalun's dream lover and object of lust in her previous life, and now she is also a brother and sister with him.

"Everyone came, but the goblin didn't come, why are you still filming, she is the biggest. ”

The goblin in Fan Ziyi's mouth, no need to ask is Zhou Xun, since she was teased by others last time, this girl has always been haunted, especially when she is still the female number one in the play, she is even more unconvinced.

Wang Dalun didn't dare to persuade, so he persuaded his girlfriend to be allowed to sprinkle all her anger on him, and said, "What are you doing in charge of others, practice hard by yourself." Let me tell you, you played the role of Fan Lijun very well. ”

"You still need to say this, I know it in my heart. Also, let me warn you first, when it's time to film, you are not allowed to make eye contact with this goblin, otherwise, hum ......"

"Okay, don't hum, I don't know how many times I've said it, do you have no confidence in yourself?"

"What do you say?" Fan Ziyi said stunned.

Wang Dalun smiled: "If you have confidence in yourself, do you still shoot me eyebrow at others?"

“……”

"Daming Palace Ci" is on the air as CCTV's New Year's drama, the young princess Taiping played by the goblin in his girlfriend's mouth became an instant hit, followed by Lou Ye's movie "Suzhou River" won the highest award for best film at the Rotterdam International Film Festival and the Paris International Film Festival.

Zhao Baogang has been happy lately, but fortunately he finalized Zhou Xun's performance contract with Rong Xinda earlier, otherwise the salary would have to be doubled. And according to the latest news, even the CCTV drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which is said to have the largest investment scale, has also locked her as the female number one in the play - Huang Rong in one fell swoop.

Now my girlfriend has long lost her previous superiority over that goblin, and all that is left is envy, jealousy and hatred.

…………

Seventy-eight pages and 180 scenes, although he began to compromise with Jacob and deleted more than a dozen scenes, Lao Jia had too many inspirations, and he had to add scenes from time to time, but in fact, there were far more than these 180 scenes to be filmed. It turned out that there was less than four million shooting funds left, and there was naturally a deficit.

Although food, accommodation, cars, labor, and props are all money, the bulk of the filming is still on the film, and you said that Lao Jia comes to inspiration from time to time, and a cutscene has to be filmed three times, can this not cost money? No, the second stage of filming has been less than a month away, and the money is almost burned.

No wonder I haven't seen production director Wang Hongwei on the card table recently, as if he was in a hurry like a third grandson. Of course, only a few people know about the crew becoming poor, otherwise it would have to be a fryer.

In fact, Jacob and Japan's producer Ichiyama Shozo and a few of them were quite benevolent, and after discussing it, they were originally very optimistic about this movie, and they each consulted and decided to be willing to bear the overspending. Originally, everyone was happy, but Lao Jia's strength came up again, and if he didn't say that he had violated the contract, he had to be responsible. Fortunately, he made a lot of money on his first movie "Xiao Wu", got married and bought a house or something, there are still hundreds of thousands left at home, and he made a phone call to go home and pulled them all over, and he was finally able to continue shooting.

But now that it's overspending, no one dares to spend it anymore, but the greenhouse in the script is always a problem. From the mid-80s to the new century, at first it was a third-tier city or a county seat, and later developed into the countryside, and you can often see a large yurt greenhouse, which has singing and dancing performances, often accompanied by posters of three-point beauties, as well as gimmicks such as Hong Kong and Taiwan stars and powerful singers. Until later, the higher-level performance groups were absorbed by the mushrooming bars, baths, and bars in the big cities, and some of them were still active in the vast rural areas, especially in the banquets of weddings and funerals.

To get back to the point, with the change of the times, the art troupe is also advancing with the times. The old members of the troupe withdrew, such as Zhong Ping, and new members joined, such as Liu Xiaojuan and Liu Xiao'e, who joined and became the new famous dancers in the troupe. Traditional instruments such as the accordion, erhu and violin were replaced by electric guitars, electric basses, keyboards and Western drum equipment. In the end, the name of the art troupe was changed from the Fenyang County Rural Cultural Work Team to the Shenzhen Perak Soft Acoustic Orchestra.

This requires a greenhouse like this, if it is placed before, Lao Jia absolutely does not blink, and tells to buy one, but now the situation is different, and if you can save it, you can save it. Song Yongping, an actor and artist in the group, discussed with Liang Jingdong and said that he could build one with building materials, and the cost was very low.

When the crew was about to implement this plan, Liu Xiaojuan and Liu Xiao'e sisters happened to go shopping on the street, but brought back good news, saying that they saw a greenhouse in Pingdingshan, Henan, which had just come to perform on the street.

When Wang Hongwei heard this, he was extremely excited, and his hair was about to fall out for money in the past few days. Good luck came, even Lao Jia was very happy, and went to the performance collectively at night, in addition to negotiating the matter of borrowing the greenhouse, Lao Jia also wanted the actors to experience on the spot, how the real greenhouse actors performed.

Coincidentally, the finale song of the greenhouse is "Platform", and everyone coaxed Wang Dalun to go up and compare twice, because the song he wants to perform in the play is also a very rock "Platform". In front of so many people, he was embarrassed to go on stage, but looking at the actor on the stage who sang "Platform" in a decent manner, he had some new ideas, saying that in his previous life, in a talent show such as a good voice and a good song, he could often see those so-called powerful singers tampering with the tune and roaring the so-called rock and roll hoarsely. He also wanted to sing like this, feeling that it was more explosive, but he hadn't figured out exactly how to sing it.

The greenhouse is from Henan, Wang Hongwei's hometown is also from Henan, the relationship between fellow villagers, plus everyone is engaged in art, obviously making movies and greenhouse performances, just like the gap between Sha County snacks and Michelin three-star restaurants, the greenhouse owner is very flattered, not only willing to cooperate vigorously, but also charge a little meaning.

The barber shop at the entrance of the hotel, although there is no sign of Wen Zhou Hair Salon at the door, but it looks similar to the barber shop on the old street in Pingyao. The barber is not from Wenzhou, but a native of Fenyang. Water was boiling on the stove in the middle of the room, and Wang Dalun sat under the ironing machine, which looked like a space helmet.

Because the greenhouse was temporarily completed, and the greenhouse could only stay in the county for two days, they had to hurry up to shoot the scene of the greenhouse, Liang Jingdong and Song Yongping took a few artists under their hands to go to the greenhouse early in the morning to set up the scene, and Wang Dalun needed to perm his hair, because Cui Mingliang in the script at this time was perming an explosive head.

It was the first time in his two lives that he had permed his hair, the curling hair pins pulled his scalp and it hurt, and it was uncomfortable to sit under the helmet with the permed hair.

"I said, master, how much time do you need? Wang Dalun was really uncomfortable and couldn't help but say.

There is only one boss and barber here, and the business is not bad, the boss will be giving an old man a haircut, he looked at the time and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's about five or six minutes." ”

As he spoke, he explained, "This potion is kept for a short time, and it will become straight in a week at most." (To be continued.) )
