Chapter 111: Finding Excitement
If Wang Dalun was a participant under the guidance of Zhang Yuan when filming "East Palace and West Palace", now he is a bystander.
He had seen Zhang Yuan's previous creations of "Mom" and "Beijing Bastard", although both films had won international awards, but to be honest, he didn't like this kind of rough improvisational, low and depressed films.
As for "East Palace and West Palace", it can be said to be Zhang Yuan's transformational work, using a large number of artistic carvings and close to aesthetic brushstrokes, just like the original name of this story "Tender Like Water", which contains the infinite reverie of romanticism.
And now in this movie, Zhang Yuan seems to be looking for a new way of expression. For example, at the beginning of the movie, it is different from all his previous movies, it is very life-like, a pair of men and women returning from the vegetable market, a broken car, dark blue sleeves, and a very popular and civilian outfit.
The discordant family atmosphere begins to show in the trivial crumbs of daily firewood, rice, oil and salt, cooking first or stir-frying first? Who washes rice and who cuts meat? Let the child study or do the housework?
Zhang Yuan's ingenuity is ingenious, this is clearly a regrouped family, but he did not point it out clearly, but through the two implied attitudes of men and women towards their two children, which is closer and farther, which makes it clear at a glance.
The name of the movie is "Coming Home for the New Year", and it tells the story of a prison inmate who goes home for the New Year. But seventeen years ago, the reason why this little girl named Tao Lan killed her stepsister Xiaoqin because she was framed for stealing five yuan, Zhang Yuan planned to use one-third of the length of the entire movie to depict it in detail.
Liang Song and Li Yeping, who play their parents, are two veteran actors, and the era of the plot coincides with their life experience, and they are very calm and calm.
Liu Ling's sister Tao Lan has a rustic style, short hair, and a red cardigan that is shorter, revealing the pink sweater inside, and the rustic atmosphere is blowing in her face, not even like a child who grew up in the city. And because she is fat, she looks a little obese, and with her Jiang De's fancy grin, she reveals her impulsive and reckless character.
And Li Juan, who plays Xiaoqin, is a very beautiful and sexy girl in Wang Dalun's eyes. Her skin is very white, her eyes are big, and the most distinctive thing is her plump and full lips, slightly upturned, if the mouth is a little bigger, it is definitely the oriental version of Angelina Jolie. She was very thin, with long hair, a ponytail, and a bright red bow, and a goose-yellow sweater that outlined Miaoman's figure.
My sister is outgoing and like a boy; My sister is quiet and introverted, and she is a little cautious. My sister has bad grades, and my sister has good grades. From the outside to the inside, the sisters show strong contrasts everywhere. But the sisters have one thing in common, they both want to escape from this home.
Li Juan is not an actor from a professional class, she is a program host, and she is also a program host who graduated from the Beijing Dance Academy, Wang Dalun doesn't understand the connection between the three, and he doesn't understand why he likes to find a host to act these days.
However, after a few scenes, Wang Dalun was impressed by this beautiful girl. It must have been a little green at first, but her understanding is quite high, much like Wang Dalun who cooperated with Zuo Wenlu in "Xiao Wu", at least much better than the other two program hosts he just worked with.
Filming the night scene that night, Wang Dalun, who had been busy all day, stayed at the scene to observe, there were few characters in this play, and there were not many scenes involving group performances, so the assistant director also started and did some chores. Fortunately, he was not the only assistant director, and he was rarely idle that night.
The first scene was filmed very smoothly, Liu Ling basically starred in her true colors, and her foundation was already good, so naturally there was nothing to say. And Li Juan's appearance Xiàn surprised Zhang Yuan and Wang Dalun very much, this girl's progress is too great, not only is she not inferior in the rivalry with Liu Ling, but she is even better in handling some details.
The second scene is Li Juan's one-man show, which has no lines, but it tests her acting skills very much.
"Xiao Li, the key to the next shot is natural, you follow your own habits, how you usually wash your feet at home, you act. Later, I will let the cheering scene play the sound of Xiaoqin's father and stepmother living a married life, I also need you as Xiaoqin's normal reaction, pay attention not to exaggerate, normal reaction! Be sure to ...... naturally."
Zhang Yuan analyzed the storyboard he had planned in advance for Li Juan in detail. There is no Liu Ling in the first few scenes of this scene, and according to the plot, she is sleeping in the house at this time. Since there was no scene of her sleeping, Liu Ling got up from the bed in a dignified manner, wrapped in a down jacket and stood aside to watch the excitement.
Wang Dalun glanced at her and said, "Why are you getting up, how warm it is in the bed!" ”
The temperature at night is basically about minus 5 degrees, there is no heating in the house, and although it is very popular during filming, the temperature in the house can only be maintained above zero.
At this time, people like Wang Dalun and Zhang Yuan, whose hometowns are in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, fully demonstrated the ability of people from this area to resist frost in winter.
There is no heating in this area, and in winter, the climate is extremely cold, and many times the temperature inside is even lower than outside. Although the temperature in the north is much lower than in the south, it is only dry and cold, and the body surface feeling is not very obvious.
On the other hand, Liu Ling and the others in the north are used to heating in winter, but they are not frost-resistant, and they are all trembling.
Liu Ling rolled her eyes, took a breath of heat in her palm, and kept rubbing her hands and said, "I don't know when the cotton blanket of the quilt came in, it's too hard, it's not warm at all when lying in it, I might as well get up." ”
Wang Dalun pursed his lips, snorted, and said, "Cut, shouldn't you be because your cousin is not as good as a rookie who is a halfway monk, and you want to see people lively, right?" ”
"You're looking for excitement, you! You have to get along with me, do you? Liu Ling's eyes widened, and she leaned into his ear and whispered a warning.
"Don't be weak-hearted! But then again, this girl does have spirituality, I really admire Lao Zhang's vision, you said that he got such a person from there, not only smart, but also beautiful, really a combination of beauty and wisdom! ”
Wang Dalun is not looking for stimulation, he just wants to stimulate Liu Ling, who made her too arrogant during this time. Wang Dalun usually doesn't have time or bother to clean her up, but he didn't expect to take the initiative to come over today, how could he give up such a good opportunity?
"You ......"
Liu Ling was really stimulated, and her angry lips trembled.
What woman doesn't love pretty? Although Liu Ling sacrificed her beauty for the sake of performance, it does not mean that she is happy in her heart. Especially a woman like her, who is very narcissistic in her heart, has to compare herself with another beautiful woman in the play, and she is sure to be unhappy.
Wang Dalun saw that he had successfully achieved his goal, so he hurriedly accepted it when he saw it, and he smiled and whispered comfortingly: "Sister, just kidding you, don't be so excited!" Besides, today is the last night of life in the play, and they have to be allowed to play well. It's time to shoot the scene where you beat someone to death tomorrow, and I'm also helping you brew a love story in advance, isn't it? ”
"If you get cheap, you have to sell ......"
Liu Ling gritted her teeth and was about to sneer at each other, but when she heard that Zhang Yuan had already finished explaining to Li Juan, she took the guide tube and shouted: "Attention, everyone is in place, ready to shoot." ”
The lights in the living room went out, leaving only a table lamp in the two sisters' room, and the gaffer turned on the white lights outside, projecting through the windows on either side of the door to the center of the living room.
“!”
The door of the room squeaked open, Li Juan walked to the living room, took out a basin from the bottom layer of the basin stand, walked to the kitchen, and turned on the light.
The living room was much brighter at once, and the kettle on the kitchen stove was warm with hot water, and she poured a small half basin of hot water into the basin, and then brought it to the bright light in the center of the living room, moved over the small stool, and took a towel from the wire that was pulled in the room.
Li Juan always adhered to Zhang Yuan's instructions, did not deliberately look at the camera during the whole process, and her movements were orderly and natural. She sat down on a small stool, and at this time, the recording engineer Wu Lala released the pre-recorded low moans and wheezing sounds of Liang Song and Li Yeping living as husband and wife according to Zhang Yuan's gestures.
These two veteran actors are over half a hundred years old, and it is really difficult for them to let them record this kind of voice by themselves. Don't say it, these two are worthy of being old drama bones, the kind of whispering that is deliberately suppressed and has to be made is extremely realistic.
The place at home is small, and it is an old house, and the sound insulation is very poor. Li Juan didn't seem to care, under the same roof, this kind of voice had long been used to hearing it, and it was no longer strange.
Li Juan sat on a small bench, and the outside light shone right on her face through the window. Zhang Yuan specially broke down with her when she took off her shoes, how to take off her heels first, then bend her trousers, and then take off her socks. She was wearing a pair of red socks on her feet, and the socks were embroidered with white patterns, which looked good.
She took off her socks, pulled the leg of her white pants up, and put her foot in the water......
"Stop, no!"
Zhang Yuan decisively shouted to stop and said, "Xiao Li, when you just put in to wash your feet, shouldn't you test the water temperature?" ”
When Li Juan heard this, she suddenly realized, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry director, do it again." ”
In fact, the water in the basin was cold, and in order to take a close-up of her washing her feet, I was worried that the steaming water vapor from the hot water would mist the shot. Zhang Xigui held the camera in his hand and slowly pushed forward, his hand was very steady, and the lens did not shake at all.
Li Juan carefully tested the temperature of the water with one foot to ensure that it was not hot, and then put her foot into the water, followed by the other. The camera is always focused on the two feet in the basin.
Her feet were a little big, but white, lean, firm, and good-looking.
With her feet gently playing with the water lines, she was very tired of living in this home, and she studied hard, in order to be able to be admitted to university one day, and leave this home as far away as possible......
Living in this home, perhaps only at this moment of the day, her mood is comfortable and relaxed.
