Suzhou, Dongshan, Luxiang Village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This was once the location of Director Zhang Dadao's "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma's Bridge". When Grange was choosing a location, he immediately fell in love with the old house here.

Wang Dalun set off from Dahengdian early in the morning and tossed all the way for nearly five hours before touching here. Fortunately, when he set off from the capital, Tianzhuang Zhuang gave him a detailed sketch, otherwise he would have to get lost in the various forks on the edge of Taihu Lake.

During the two weeks in the capital, the Grange basically arranged for them. The lines in "Spring in a Small Town" are heavy, and everyone has long paragraphs of drama-like lines.

The actor Zhang Zhichen is the Chinese opera graduate mentioned by Tianzhuang Zhuang before, Xin Baiqing from Qingyi; Hu Jingfan, who plays the heroine Yuwen, is also from Qingyi, and graduated from the opera; plus Wang Dalun, Tianzhuangzhuang also laughed and called the three protagonists, the film school, Chinese opera, and the drama gathered together, which is considered to be alive. At that time, when Tianzhuang Zhuang said this, Wang Dalun still had a little inferiority, after all, everyone was undergraduate, but he came out of a junior college class.

Don't look at the future, many celebrities claim to be graduates or say on Baidu Encyclopedia that they graduated from Beiying or Chinese opera, but in fact, many people just come out of that kind of training class, such as Sun Honglei and Huang Bo reading that kind of musical class or junior college class, which is a good school is recognized and a serious college graduation certificate. But many of them are the kind of training courses that Wang Dalun proposed with his girlfriend to generate income. This kind of seasonal semester only has training courses ranging from a few months to a year, which is not comparable to the undergraduate classes in other people's high schools.

Xin Baiqing, he knew him, he had often seen it on the TV screen in his previous life, but Hu Jingfan was completely unfamiliar with it. Yuwen is the most important character in the play, a bit like the positioning of Sister Gong in "Zhou Yu's Train". But seeing Hu Jingfan for the first time did not give Wang Dalun a bright feeling. You must know that the jade pattern in "Spring in a Small Town" is a very beautiful woman, and Wei Wei, the actor of Jade Wen in the 1948 Fei Mu version of "Spring in a Small Town", was a red star in Shanghai, and it was also a smash hit in Hong Kong in the fifties and sixties.

But if you take a closer look, you can't find a trace of fault with either her facial features or figure, especially her beautiful Danfeng eyes, which seems to be very in line with the aesthetics of people of that era. She probably belongs to the kind of person who doesn't look beautiful at first glance, but the longer she looks at it, the more beautiful she feels.

Hu Jingfan and Xin Baiqing have been active on the drama stage for a long time, although they have filmed several TV series before, they are not the protagonists and the quality is average. In contrast, Wang Dalun is undoubtedly a big coffee.

There are a total of five characters in the play from beginning to end, in addition to the three of them, there are also the little sister Dai Xiu and the housekeeper Lao Huang. Lao Huang's actor is an old actor of Shanghai Renyi, who is commonly known as the old performing artist, because Lao Huang set by Grange has a strong Shanghainese accent. Dai Xiu, the role of Xiaomei, is a fifteen-year-old girl found from the Beijing Dance Annex.

Of course, it is impossible for the old performing artists to rehearse with their young people, and they will meet the crew in Suzhou when the time comes. Of course, Dai Xiu's actor Lu Sisi, who has no acting experience, rehearses the words with them. After all, Xin Baiqing and Hu Jingfan are both from professional classes, and they have acted in a lot of dramas, their skills in lines are still good, and their acting skills are also above the level compared to young actors of the same age, but in terms of acting skills, because of the difference between dramas and movies, they are still a little rusty.

is the only one who is Lu Sisi, Dai Xiu in the play is a beautiful, lively, and cute girl. This Wang Dalun's little fellow is certainly beautiful, lively, and cute, but the tone of the lines and the exaggeration of the performance, ouch, it is unbearable to look at directly. This is the kind of exaggerated expression of a typical Chinese primary school student when he reads a text or performs. He even wondered if this girl had come in through the back door, right?

After two weeks of rehearsals, Wang Dalun has no big problem, not only can he act, but also drive the opponent, Grange Zhuangzhuang appreciated it, but also made Xin Baiqing and Hu Jingfan realize what strength is, and the only remaining unconvincing in their hearts was instantly crushed. And the pompous little girl has not made much progress, and the Grange seems to be very patient and has no intention of changing people.

Wang Dalun left the capital three days early, mainly to see his girlfriend who was still fighting in Dahengdian. From late May to early August, I was filming costume dramas for almost the whole summer, which really made the girl hard. Filming costume dramas in the summer is the most sinful, wrapped in a big robe, and if you are not careful, you will have prickly heat, and if you don't get it right, you will have heat stroke.

The girlfriend is not bad, she is the heroine, the logistics system of the crew is naturally given priority, and Hou Shasha is in place, there is no problem, but the person has lost five or six pounds, which makes her very excited, and she finally doesn't have to lose weight, but in addition to the excitement, she found that the size of her chest seems to have shrunk, and she is a little depressed.

Wang Dalun accompanied her in Dahengdian for two days, but fortunately, the filming was nearing the end, and it would be finished in a few days. Although Fan Ziyi has no film appointments in the near future, she is still very busy, and the two endorsement advertisements she has accumulated are to be filmed, as well as a series of commercial performances, plus she also plans to use this rare free time to get her driver's license test, and she has to go back to the capital directly after the finale, and she can't squeeze out time to see her boyfriend who is filming in Suzhou. also made a variety of difficult actions, which surprised Wang Dalun.

Wang Dalun came back this time and still requisitioned the Pajero from He Cong's company, in fact, this car is He Cong's own. Like all rich second generations, Ho Chung likes to play with cars, but he is not interested in sports cars, and is particularly fond of off-road vehicles, this Pajero is his first car after graduating from college, and then there are Land Cruisers and Hummers. This is not in Hangzhou, Hummer is a little unable to perform, he recently bought a new BMW X5.

He Cong originally planned to let this Pajero be driven by Wang Dalun, and every time he came back, he had to borrow it from the company. Wang Dalun also felt that it was inconvenient to go back to his hometown without a car every time, but he didn't want to owe He Cong a favor, so he bought it for 100,000 yuan. Although the four-year car is a bit long, the mileage is less than 60,000 kilometers, and the new car cost three or four hundred thousand yuan, and the price of 100,000 yuan was completely half sold and half given away by He Cong.

The crew of "Spring in a Small Town" sent people to repair the Huihe Hall here more than a month ago, this mansion built in the Qing Dynasty was originally the residence of the descendants of the famous prime minister Wang Wei of the Ming Dynasty, and after liberation, it was used as the station of Taihu Township Commune and the school building of Luxiang Primary School. There are even slogans on the walls that say "The sun rises in the east" and a portrait of Taizu in military costume who applauded lovingly.

Screenwriter Ah Cheng was personally responsible for the renovation work here, in order to restore the imprint of that era, he took great pains to find old furniture in Suzhou and Hangzhou, he even bought and rented it, and finally collected hundreds of "old antiques" to fill the entire mansion.

When Wang Dalun inquired all the way in the village and found this place, Ah Cheng was standing at the gate and directing the workers to build the ruins at the gate. It was bombed by Japanese planes, but the Dai family compound was lucky not to be affected too much, and only a few walls were damaged.

"Da Lun, you're early!" Ah Cheng said with a smile when he saw him get out of the car.

"Uncle Cheng, hard work. ”

I haven't seen him for more than a month, Ah Cheng has obviously tanned a lot, his head is straightened, his beard is unkempt, and his glasses are slipping off, very much like the old accountant in the village, but he is in good spirits.

"It's not hard, actually, I like to do this. ”

In addition to being a writer, Ah Cheng is also an extremely skilled carpenter, especially fond of classical Chinese furniture. It is said that the carpentry he did in the United States was often hailed as a work of art.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Hehe, you're lucky today, I asked the landlord to prepare Taihu Sanbai in the morning, and I'll have two drinks together later?"

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Cheng. ”

The crew stayed at a hotel in the local town, but Ah Cheng specially rented a house in an old house in the village, and the landlord was an old couple in their fifties. Most of the young people here have gone out to work, and the rest are some old people, and the village is no longer as lively as it used to be, but it is very quiet.

Back at Ah Cheng's residence, the dishes had already been put on the table, steamed white fish, whitebait running eggs, salted white shrimp, a stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of loofah egg soup, which made Wang Dalun can't help but move his index finger.

It is said that the Grange Zhuang version of "Spring in a Small Town" is extremely low-key compared to the cast, but the behind-the-scenes team is very luxurious, not to mention that Ah Cheng, who was once the screenwriter of "Furong Town", also serves as a prop, and Ye Jintian, the winner of the Golden Horse Award for Best Styling Award, serves as the art director and costume designer, as well as Hou Xiaoxian's royal photographer, the winner of the Cannes Technology Award, and the photographer of "In the Mood for Love" Li Pingbin personally took the camera.

In the evening, Grange Zhuang and his team finally arrived at Dongshan. The hotel conditions in the town are average, and the producer Sister Xiaowan also asked Wang Dalun very intimately if he stayed in a hotel in the city with good conditions?

I don't know why, when he heard Sister Xiaowan ask him, he suddenly remembered the scene of Yuan Li standing in front of the pot of winter melon pork rib soup with a bowl with an embarrassed face when he was filming "Thunderstorm", but he didn't expect that five years later, he finally got the status of being able to drink pork rib soup.

"No need, Sister Xiaowan, let's live with everyone. He replied with a smile.

Li Xiaowan is very happy, Wang Dalun has set an example, even if someone wants to do specialization, I'm afraid they are embarrassed to bring it up. Not only does it save money, but the most important thing is that it is closer to the house, which is more conducive to filming. For this reason, she arranged a single room for Wang Dalun very intimately.

Director Zhuang Zhuang reappeared in the rivers and lakes, although there was a lot of noise before, but he was really going to shoot, but he was very low-key. There was no start-up press conference, if it weren't for Ye Jintian and Li Pingbin's strong proposal, I'm afraid that even the start-up ceremony of worshipping God and incense would have been omitted.

On the afternoon of the next day, director Zhuang Zhuang redirected the tube for ten years, and the remake of the old classic "Spring in a Small Town" officially started filming.

Wang Dalun was wearing a dark gray robe that almost drowned out his face, with a beard on his lips and chin, and his face was carefully decorated by a makeup artist, with a sickly gray blue in his pale color. He bent his back slightly in the mirror, coughed lightly from time to time, and after a while, he was very satisfied with his appearance.

Xin Baiqing on the side was still putting on makeup, he was combing the split hair, light linen soft suit, and the same soft shirt and suspender pants that were popular at the time, looking vibrant.

Hu Jingfan has already put on makeup, gray and white short-sleeved cheongsam, and she is also like Wang Dalun at this time, playing silently in front of the mirror, brewing sad emotions.

If you look closely, you will find that Xin Baiqing wears no matter whether it is a suit or a shirt, it is all loose and baggy, and there is absolutely no such straight feeling as in ordinary film and television dramas. There is also the cheongsam on Hu Jingfan's body, which looks a little awkward, and it is not quite in line with people's usual aesthetic habits, because the cheongsam is straight, without a waist, and the slit is also very low, so you can't see the unique curvaceous curves and white thighs of women. But this is precisely where Ye Jintian's skills lie, the suits and shirts of that era were so loose, and the cheongsam worn by the wives and ladies of large families in that era was not cinched at the waist, and the slits were very low, unless an indecent woman like Zhang Yanyu played in "In the Mood for Love" would wear a cheongsam with the curves of the waist exposed, revealing white flowers and thighs.

The first shot is Wang Dalun's play.

The yard is paved with tracks, the machine is set up on the track, and the first shot after turning on is Li Pingbin personally controlling the machine. Li Pingbin looks very similar to Grange Zhuang, about the same age, about the same hairstyle, and about the same beard. The only difference may be that he is slightly more fashionable than the Grange in a black T-shirt, black pants, and black cloth square shoes, at least he looks like a city man, rather than a "peasant" like the local villagers.

“action！”

In the first shot, all the staff held their breath and concentrated on their work, and Grange Zhuang sat in front of the monitor with a headset, looking slightly nervous.

Li Pingbin controlled the camera, and the camera was not aimed at Wang Dalun, who was turning broken wood in the corner of the yard. The camera lens is slightly raised, sweeping the unclear blue sky, the cornices of the roof, and then slowly lowering it, skimming the blood-red maple leaves in the courtyard, and slowly moving to a corner of the courtyard.

This is a long shot, Wang Dalun is moving in the corner to clean up the remaining broken doors and windows of the yard, and on the wall next to it are two black lacquered wooden plaques that have been found, engraved with gold characters that have faded most of their colors.

Wang Dalun bent over, struggling to carry the broken door pressed against another wooden sign.

"Whoa", the door fell to the ground, he just looked back, and then continued to grab the wooden card stuck in a pile of tatters, "Ho, ho" Heavy breathing, pulled out a few times and used several forces, and finally pulled out the wooden card.

The camera slowly moves along the track, and the camera skims over the blood-red maple leaves, and two rain-shattered banana leaves poke out from the corner of the wall, and faintly fall on Wang Dalun in the corner of the wall. I saw him pick up the wooden sign and read the words on it, and carefully blew the dust on the driftwood card.

Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was staring at the monitor, suddenly lit up when he saw this scene, and he knew that this was the actor's supplement to something that was not in the script based on his own understanding.

When he carefully moved the wooden sign to the wall, at this time there was the sound of a train whistle in the distance, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the whistle outside the wall, shook his head and sighed softly, and struggled to place the wooden sign against the wall.

"Click, over!"

Grange shouted, and the smile on his face showed that he was satisfied with this one shot. Hearing "over", the staff were all relieved, and they all showed joy, and the first shot after turning on was undoubtedly a good start!
