Chapter 9 People who love movies
Wang Dalun got the remaining 70% of the salary, 14,000 yuan, and the total assets exceeded 23,000 yuan. This is the first time in his two lives that he has so much money, for which he also specially opened a card, before he had a postal savings passbook, and the life of the family remitted was remitted on this passbook.
I wrote a letter and went home, telling my family about making my own movie, and now that I have made money, I don't have to send living expenses to my family in the future. At the same time, he had more than 20,000 yuan to build a foundation, which increased his confidence to go on in the capital.
The finale banquet was very lively. Sihan actually brought his boyfriend, a foreigner in his forties, very handsome, a Swedish diplomat. The foreigner was very excited, pulling Zhang Yuan, and speaking his stiff Chinese barabala, which means that as a senior gay, he didn't expect that in China, a country where homosexuality is taboo, Zhang Yuan would have the courage to make a movie with this kind of theme, he is very grateful, and he is also looking forward to the release of this movie.
Zhang Yuan was also very excited, he had been preparing for this movie for five years, and now it has finally been transformed into a result, and he toasted and thanked him from table to table. In his speech, he praised the two leading actors, especially Wang Dalun, and gave a high evaluation, saying that Wang Dalun is the most talented actor he has used in filming until now, and Wang Dalun feels very honored. Photographer Zhang Jian told him that he had made a total of three movies so far, and the first two had never used serious actors at all, either non-professional actors or a bunch of unobtrusive singers.
After the finale banquet, the crew announced its disbandment. Zhang Yuan still had to be busy with the post-production, and Wang Dalun returned to school to devote himself to the rehearsal of the graduation drama "Thunderstorm".
Although "Thunderstorm" will be performed in early June, the time is very tight, but Zhou Chong is not the main role after all, and Wang Dalun has grown by leaps and bounds after being tempered by "East Palace and West Palace", and he can easily control the role of Zhou Chong.
In addition to the need for certain skills, it also requires talent and experience. Wang Dalun's previous acting skills can only be regarded as an apprentice level, and the better ones among his classmates are already at the disciple level. is even more outstanding, such as Yuan Li at level 92 or Liu Ling and Lao Xu at level 93, whose level has reached the level of deacons.
And now Wang Dalun, he has experience, although he has lived at the bottom of the society for a long time in his previous life, but after all, he is living in that era of extreme explosion of information, hearing and seeing, his vision is naturally not comparable to others, and he also found that he is still very talented in acting, so his current acting level has already jumped two steps of disciple and deacon, and quietly entered the ranks of helmsmen.
The exams for the professional courses of the film school are generally in March and April, and in May, they basically enter a state of idleness.
On this weekend, early in the morning, Wang Dalun was pulled onto the battlefield by Mayou. The two are old partners during the winter vacation. The other one, short and obscene, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses is one of the famous Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness of the 93 class of the Department of Literature, Wang Hongwei and Wang Yishi. In fact, there are only 12 people in their class, seven women and five men, known as "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness." ”
Today's card game is convened by Wang Hongwei, saying that there is something to do in the afternoon, taking advantage of the free time in the morning to have a card addiction, and playing until noon.
The game of ups and downs, at first Wang Hongwei had good luck and touched several handfuls in a row, but when he went to the toilet and came back, he languished, and the next two hours were like a dead man, a handful of nonsense and frequent flushing, not to noon, not only to spit out the previous win, but also to empty the pockets, owed three.
"Nine cakes!" Wang Hongwei pondered for a long time and played a card.
"Hu!" Wang Dalun happily pushed down the card, and there were words in his mouth: "Door clear, big clear head, spicy, double." Sample, actually touched me three times, and doubled it again, forty yuan. Now you owe me fifty-six dollars. ”
Recently, it has been popular to play mahjong in the school, and today Wang Dalun shows the true character of "mahjong killer", and it is a win-win situation.
"I'm not coming, I'm not coming, I'm really back home today, and I've lost it all. Brothers, owe it first. Wang Hongwei pushed the card, stood up dejectedly, and admitted defeat.
"Don't mind, it's still early, two more laps. One of them also lost miserably, and he was eager to turn over the book, beckoning Wang Hongwei to sit down and fight again.
"Forget it, it's too much, and besides, I don't have any money. Wang Hongwei shook his head.
Wang Dalun is a big winner, so he was happy to end it early and counted out a few gross tickets, "In this way, Hongwei owes you ten yuan, owes you twenty-two, and I will help you pay for thirty-two yuan first." Fifty-six plus thirty-two, you now owe me a total of eighty-eight, hey! Brothers, let's fight again in the future?"
The other two saw that Wang Hongwei had no intention of fighting, so they could only pick up the money and end it here.
"Da Lun, the money will not be paid back to you until next month. Coming out of the dormitory, Wang Hongwei said to Wang Dalun.
"Forget it, forget it. I couldn't say it in it just now, and the gambling debts were settled. Hehe, thanks to you today, I won more than 200 again. Wang Dalun waved his hand generously.
He and Wang Hongwei got acquainted with him because of mahjong, and the relationship is usually okay.
"Yo, thank you. This, Da Lun, let's discuss, can I ask you to borrow some more?" Wang Hongwei rubbed his hands and asked embarrassedly.
"Don't have money to eat? Okay, no problem. Wang Dalun happily auctioned out a hundred-yuan bill, which was the one that Wang Hongwei lost to him at the card table just now, "However, let's make it clear, this hundred has to be repaid." ”
"No problem, no problem. Wang Hongwei nodded again and again, "However, a hundred is not enough, can you lend me more." ”
"Not enough?" Wang Dalun was surprised, "I remember that you had more than a hundred yuan in your pocket......"
"No, Lao Jia is filming now, I'm a producer. The funds were made up by a few of our poor buddies, and as soon as I calculated today, there were more than 100 yuan left for the filming funds, and it was not enough to buy water and lunch boxes. Isn't this just a few games to get together with a few games, and if you want to be lucky, you can subsidize a little, but I didn't expect ......"
Wang Hongwei's explanation is not good, and it is a bit embarrassing. Wang Dalun knew that Wang Hongwei, Lao Jia, and Gu Zheng and others in their class were all full of enthusiasm for movies, and it is said that they also set up a Beijing Youth Film Group, and Lao Jia was the leader. Last year, they also made a short film called "Little Mountain Comes Home", and Wang Hongwei became the leading actor because he had studied acting. After filming, the premiere was held in their dormitory. Wang Dalun also went to watch it at the time, but the picture was extremely rough and he left without watching it.
Looking at Wang Hongwei's embarrassed face, Wang Dalun suddenly sighed. He may not have understood it before, but now he not only understands but admires it.
For example, Zhang Yuan, he would rather give up his iron job for the sake of the movie, and making the MV can allow him to live a rich life, but he put his energy and money into the movie, even if he was banned by the authorities, he would not give up.
Compared with Zhang Yuan, Wang Hongwei and Lao Jia are more difficult. After all, Zhang Yuan is now considered to be famous, and they are just a group of poor students, but they do the ultimate for their dreams, even at the expense of their dignity.
"Well, I still have six or seven hundred dollars here, is it enough? If it's not enough, I'll go to the bank and get some more. Wang Dalun took out all the money he won today, along with his own capital.
"Enough, enough. Da Lun, that's interesting, you've helped me a lot. Wang Hongwei nodded at the money in his hand in surprise, "A total of seven hundred and twenty yuan, I'll give you a note." ”
"No need, just give it back to me when it's convenient for you. Wang Dalun waved his hand and asked, "By the way, what kind of film did you shoot this time?"
"Well, it's not official. It's Lao Jia, who thinks that there is a lack of more complicated scene scheduling in "Little Mountain Goes Home" last time, so I want to do some exercises. It's also a short film, there is no script, the story is all written up, it is about the problems encountered by a female college student named Dudu before graduation. ”
Wang Hongwei gave a brief introduction, he noticed that Wang Dalun seemed to be very interested, and out of gratitude to Wang Dalun for his generosity, he took the initiative to invite: "We will shoot at Beijing Normal University, if you are okay, come with me to have a look." ”
"Okay. ”
Since filming "East Palace and West Palace", Wang Dalun has felt that making movies is very fun. Movies are not like dramas, you can't make mistakes, you can make mistakes in the movie, you can continue to explore your potential in constant repetition, and you can also try to use various methods to shape the role of the performance, which is very enjoyable.
Wang Dalun likes Zhang Yuan's way of directing, and thinks he is a very powerful director. But the memory of his previous life told him that Lao Jia seemed to be more famous in the future, although he had never seen Lao Jia's films, and he didn't even know the name of the play, but he only knew that Lao Jia's films could often win awards abroad. So he was curious and wanted to go to the scene to observe and observe.
Beijing Normal University is diagonally opposite the Film Academy, with a three-ring road in the middle. The two walked over, passing by the small restaurant next to Xingtan Road, Wang Hongwei bought more than a dozen boxed lunches, and Wang Dalun helped carry boxes of mineral water and entered from the west gate of Beijing Normal University.
Lao Jia, the location where they filmed the exterior was the playground of the North Normal University, just next to the west gate. From a distance, I saw a small film crew of seven or eight of them, and when I got closer, I saw that it was Gu Zheng's guy and a woman playing against each other.
There are no monitors, no lights, no scene notes, no costumes, no makeup, and even no recordings, but if you look closely, photographer Liang Ying has a home M9000 camera in his hand.
Most of them knew each other, because they were filming, everyone didn't say hello, Wang Dalun put the mineral water and stood next to him and watched quietly. Gu Zheng plays the boyfriend of a female college student, and he is constantly explaining what to the female college student......
"Click!"
After a scene was filmed, Lao Jia didn't seem to be very satisfied, and wanted to beckon Gu Zheng and female college students to come over and talk about the show.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat. Wang Hongwei interrupted him with a loud shout.
Lao Jia, who was frowning and mourning, had no choice but to give up, and walked over to say hello to Wang Dalun: "Dalun, you are here." ”
"I'm here to learn, Director Jia. Wang Dalun said with a smile.
He and Lao Jia were introduced to each other by Wang Hongwei, compared with the extroverted Gu Zheng and others, they only knew Lao Jia, not familiar.
Lao Jia was slightly stunned when he heard the words "Director Jia", and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Yo! I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be, I dare not be it, so I am so embarrassed, let's call it Lao Jia." ”
An interaction quickly shortened the distance between the two.
"I heard Hongwei say, you were making a movie some time ago?" Lao Jia picked up a bottle of water and drank it.
"It's a play directed by Zhang Yuan, and it's been completed. ”
"It's Zhang Yuan. Lao Jia was slightly moved, "I don't know him, but his wife Ning Dai taught us a brief history of Western films." I've seen his "Mother", which uses a very novel combination of black and white and color film, and the story is well told, full of warmth and pathos. ”
Wang Dalun hadn't watched any of the two films made by Zhang Yuan, and he didn't know what to communicate with Lao Jia, but it happened that Wang Hongwei came over with two boxed lunches: "It's time to eat." ”
Lao Jia nodded, took the box lunch, and beckoned Gu Zheng and the actor who played the female college student to come over, probably planning to talk about drama while eating.
Gu Zheng came over and said hello to Wang Dalun first.
Gu is a native of Shanghai, who is very enthusiastic, and saw that Wang Dalun didn't know Lin Xiaoling, so he hurriedly helped introduce each other: "Lin Xiaoling, the 91st level of the recording department of our college, is now the recording engineer of Bayi Film Studio, and the heroine of this play, my girlfriend Dudu." Wang Dalun, our junior brother, is a 94-level performance student. ”
I have to say that Gu Zheng is very skillful in speaking, the performance department is level 94, tsk! suddenly blurred the concept of undergraduate and junior college, which made people feel very useful when they heard it, but Wang Dalun still took the initiative to clarify: "Hello from the 94-level junior college class, senior sister!" xh:.74.240.212
