Chapter 3 A Little History
"Whew!"
Wang Dalun rubbed his astringent eyes and felt a special pain.
I met Zhang Yuan at a teahouse today, and Zhang Yuan asked him to read the script first. The title page was printed with the words "East Palace and West Palace", at first he thought it was a costume palace fight, and wondered if he would let himself play a eunuch, right?
As a result, when I opened it, it was actually a gay movie. In front of Zhang Yuan, he could only read it hard, and when he saw it, he really saw it, more than 20 pages and nearly 30 pages, word by word, he read it for more than half an hour. To say that this script is really well written, but this theme is ......
Zhang Yuan sat patiently opposite and drank tea and smoked, until Wang Dalun finished reading the script, then he handed over a cigarette leisurely and asked, "How do you feel?"
"The script is very well written. Wang Dalun took a sip of tea and said honestly.
"Then what do you think about this kind of thing?" Zhang Yuan asked again.
"Well, I don't think much, it's normal. β
Although Wang Dalun is not very interested in this kind of alternative theme, he did not show any fuss, after all, this kind of thing was not uncommon in the previous life, even if two people are married in many countries, it is legal.
"Don't you have a little prejudice against this kind of thing?" Zhang Yuan was surprised, and looked at his gaze with an interesting look.
Seeing this, Wang Dalun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Director Zhang, don't get me wrong, I don't have this hobby." It's like turnips and greens have their own preferences, some people like to eat turnips, some people like to eat greens, and some people may like to eat turnips and greens, but it's just a matter of personal hobbies, which is quite normal. β
Zhang Yuan was originally worried that he would not be able to pass the psychological level, but this guy didn't change his face, and he said one thing at a time. Well, it's me who worries too much.
"What do you think of the character of Xiao Shi?"
Wang Dalun was a little worried at first that Zhang Yuan would let him play Alan in the script, but when he heard him ask Xiao Shi, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, after all, he was still a policeman. As for the role of Alain, it's not that he can't play it, it's just that this character is not only a sufferer, but also has a tendency to have heavy tastes, and he has to play a CD in the play, which is simply sadistic and ruins the three views, which is far less decent than Xiao Shi.
"Xiao Shi?"
"yes, I'd like to hear what you think of this character? Zhang Yuan encouraged.
"About the character of Xiaoshi...... Wang Dalun couldn't describe it in words for a while, so he simply said: "I think I'm pretending to be forced." β
"Uh......" Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with an expectant face: "What do you say?"
Please, big brother! This script was adapted by you, don't you know? Wang Dalun couldn't help but complain when he looked at Zhang Yuan's appearance.
However, he quickly made up for the fact that this was the director's understanding of the role, and thought about it: "First I was harassed, and then I talked all night long, from the initial disdain, sarcasm, and insult to being stunned, and then to realizing something and being annoyed, evading, and confused." On the surface, Xiao Shi was successfully bent by Alain, but in fact, I think Ya was originally a bend, but she was tearing off the disguise step by step. And in the end, they all showed their true colors, but they escaped, you said that you are not pretending to be forced!"
There are not many characters in the script, Alain, Xiao Shi, and a "bus" that plays soy sauce. There are also a few passages of Kunqu Opera interspersed in the middle, at first he couldn't figure it out, maybe it was an abstract technique of the director, but when Xiao Shi forced Alan to wear women's clothes, and then became crazy, he suddenly thought of "Farewell My Concubine" and thought of his brother's peerless beauty. At this time, he suddenly realized that Xiao Shi was not bent by Alain, but Xiao Shi was bent subconsciously, but the identity of the police did not allow him to be a comrade, and what Alan did was to wake him up.
In fact, although Wang Dalun said it easily, out of a sense of substitution for the role, thinking of all kinds of Xiaoshi in the script, he couldn't help but get goosebumps, trembling and uneasiness, and subconsciously avoided Zhang Yuan's eyes on the other side.
Sizzleββ, Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up suddenly. Maybe at first he just thought that Wang Dalun's image was very suitable, and there was a little bit of gratitude, but at this time he decided that Wang Dalun should be Xiaoshi.
Zhang Yuan was not stingy at all, and the salary he offered to Wang Dalun was 20,000 yuan, although Liu Ling said that the price was a bit low, but Wang Dalun was very flattered. You must know that in his previous life, he only earned 400 yuan a month as a small worker on the construction site, and at the same time, he also felt that it was not a big deal to find a suitable job.
Zhang Yuan is also a person who does not have a work unit, but this does not prevent people from getting mixed up, as long as he shoots a few MVs every year, he not only lives a good life, but also supports his ideal of filming. In his words, movies are his career, and making MVs or something is just a means of making a living, and the tone when he speaks is full of coldness, which makes Wang Dalun yearn for it.
The film school encourages students to go out and film, especially graduating students like Wang Dalun. Of course, the news that he was going to make a movie caused a sensation in the class, and there was both envy and jealousy.
Wang Dalun completely put down the matter of looking for a job, and was busy memorizing lines and figuring out the characters in the play every day. The environment of the collective dormitory was very noisy, and he even went to Liu Ling's rental house and asked her to help with the play.
Fu Jen University, now the North Campus of Beijing Normal University, was originally Taobel Mansion, with the mansion as the school building. The pavilions in the courtyard are scattered, surrounded by hundreds of towering ancient trees, quiet and elegant, rich in humanities, and it is a rare garden-style campus in the center of the city. It is said that "Farewell My Concubine" and "Sunny Day" have all been filmed here.
Except for some clips of Alan, the main filming scenes of "East Palace and West Palace" are concentrated here. Wang Dalun was very curious about filming for the first time, and came to the set early after receiving the start-up notice, the good guys were fifty or sixty people, and there were two blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, who were said to be representatives of the investor, and suddenly felt a kind of tall and rushed.
Due to the delay in the role of Alain, Zhang Yuan decided to shoot the young Alan first. Wang Dalun is in the crew when he has nothing to do, and he wants to enter the role as much as possible, Zhang Yuan is of course happy to see it, and also arranged a small single room for him in the guest house under the crew's contract, so that he can not be disturbed when figuring out the role.
The actor who plays the teenager Alan is a sixteen-year-old high school student, who is said to have been a very famous child star in the past. But when he saw the actor playing the bus for the first time that day, he was really shocked. The girl with big eyes and two braids in front of her is actually Xiaoyanzi Zhao Wei.
It's not that Wang Dalun is making a fuss, he has already seen a lot of those beautiful stars in the film academy, such as Yuan Li at level 92, in addition to Jiang Dehua at level 93, there is also Lao Xu, who is known as the "little white girl in the Congo", Jiang Qingqing, the school flower at level 94, and the young and beautiful Zuo Xiaoqing at level 95 and the little grandson beauty who has been guarded and stolen by a chef surnamed Huang, as for the legendary star class in level 96...... Well, it's not enrolled, and the prettiest one is waiting in front of you.
At this time, Zhao Wei was very young, but Wang Dalun felt that she was more beautiful than on the screen. It is said that Zhao Wei had acting skills before, and he made a movie called "Daughter Valley", and he was one of the heroines.
Compared with the somewhat arrogant child star, Xiaoyanzi is much more cheerful, and when she learned that Wang Dalun was a student of the acting department of the Film Academy, she began to call him senior brother. Although the results of the application have not yet come out, it can be seen that Xiaoyanzi is still quite confident.
Xiaoyanzi doesn't have many scenes, playing the classmate of the young Alan, who has no name, and is nicknamed the bus, and the bus means whoever falls in love with it.
Let Xiaoyanzi play the bus, no matter how Wang Dalun thinks about it, he feels that this painting style is not harmonious, and Zhang Yuan's goods are too cruel. But when he leaned behind Zhang Yuan and saw the bus from the monitor, he was immediately amazed.
Two braids, hair a little scattered, a rustic white fine plaid shirt on the upper body, a pair of fat gray pants on the lower body, black cloth shoes on the feet, carrying a yellow-green schoolbag, the original pair of bright eyes were dim at this time, seeing the stern gaze of the teacher on the podium sweeping over, he lowered his head in a panic, and then walked towards his seat. She walked very slowly, her feet were about to leave the ground, and the students in the classroom looked at her with strange eyes......
The whole thing was to bring a despised and spurned bus to life, and even Zhang Yuan, who was staring intently at the monitor, nodded slightly.
"Click-"
Zhang Yuan suddenly shouted to stop.
Pointing to the former child star who played the young Alan, he said: "Ye Jin, your expression is wrong, you should be different from others, you don't dislike her, but sympathize, and at the same time love her, do you understand?"
"Got it, director. Ye Jin, who was wearing a short-sleeved sea soul shirt, nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, one more time. β
βACTIONοΌβ
"Click!"
"Ye Jin, don't put your expression on your face, your eyes! understand, you have to put your feelings in your eyes. β
"Click!"
"Ye Jin, your eyes are still wrong, you can't just have sympathy, but also love. Remember, although everyone looks down on her, you have always had a crush on her, and you find your own shadow in her, and you have a feeling of sympathy. Notice that your eyes follow her, and all the emotions are in your eyes. β
"clicked" a few times in a row, the former child star, who has always felt good about himself, couldn't hold back on his face, but he still stubbornly took a deep breath, tried his best to restore his expression to the demeanor in the play, and said: "Director, I'm ready, come again!"
"Click!"
"Click!"
"Click!"
After seven or eight NGs in a row, Zhang Yuan finally couldn't bear it, "snapped" and slammed the notebook in his hand, and yelled at Ye Jin: "Ye Jin, what's the matter with you? Why are your eyes always wrong, emotion! I told you, you have to have emotion! How do you ......?"
The temperature in the capital in mid-March was only seven or eight degrees, and the thinly dressed actors were a little shivering, Zhang Yuan had to wave his hand weakly when he saw this, "Forget it, rest for a quarter of an hour, everyone will warm up." β
As soon as Zhang Yuan's voice fell, Wang Dalun hurriedly picked up the down sweater and ran over to put it on Zhao Wei.
"Here, drink some hot water and cover your hands. He handed over a glass bottle of Nescafe with hot water.
Zhao Wei had already choked on the cold, wrapped in a down jacket, holding the bottle with both hands, blowing hot air and drinking two sips of hot water before finally relieving himself, and said gratefully: "Thank you, senior brother." β
"You're welcome, be careful not to catch a cold. Wang Dalun said with pity.
"It's okay, I'm wearing two pairs of pants underneath. Zhao Wei pointed to the fat gray pants on his lower body, and said with a sneering face.
"Uh......" This stupid girl actually talked about autumn pants, and Wang Dalun had to be speechless.
"Oh, by the way, senior brother, how did you say I acted just now?" Zhao Wei leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"Okay! Wang Dalun said with a thumbs up.
"Hehe......" Hearing the praise, the girl suddenly became stupid.
In fact, when he first met Zhao Wei, Wang Dalun still had a small abacus in his heart, and he was a little deliberately befriended. Why? The reason is very simple, because he knows that this girl will be red and purple in two years. Now that I have made up my mind to mix in this circle, the relationship is good, and maybe I will have the opportunity to promote myself in the future. And even if you don't have a chance to carry it, even if you brag in front of future generations, the sentence "Zhao Wei is my friend." "That's a very long-faced thing.
However, after the past two days of contact, Wang Dalun really likes this girl, not only beautiful and hearty, but also has a very big heart. For example, now, because of the other party's NG over and over again, if others must have opinions, she is like no one, and she plays very seriously every time, so that people can't find a little mistake. xh:.74.240.212
