The kettle sounded like a train whistle, Yin Ruijuan was wearing a uniform and holding the child humming a lullaby, and Cui Mingliang was already asleep on the sofa next to him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoA nice flute piece sounded at the right time, and the screen went dark, pitch black, followed by a series of subtitles.

The headlights were turned on, and several people sitting in the small theater of Beijing Film Studio were not very accustomed to the light, and their eyes were slightly closed for a while.

Tian Zhuangzhuang opened his eyes and said to Li Shaohong on the side: "How is it?"

The movie is a little longer, but Li Shaohong's face can't hide the shock, it is the first time she has watched "Platform", and the copy is still a teaching film borrowed by Lao Tian from the film school.

"I really didn't expect today's young people to make such a good movie, but I definitely wouldn't be able to make it. Li Shaohong smiled bitterly and shook her head, she pushed her glasses and then said: "And Wang Dalun, I didn't expect him to make such great progress now, Cui Mingliang is a level higher than Xiao Wu." He has no problem playing Dai Liyan at all, he can completely control this role, but now I'm worried about who will play Yuwen and who will play Zhang Zhichen, if his skills are not enough, I'm afraid it will be difficult to play with him. ”

Compared with Li Shaohong's extremely high evaluation of Wang Dalun, a middle-aged man with glasses next to him seemed a little hesitant and said: "Dai Liyan is from a scholarly family, and he is seriously ill, is this actor really suitable?"

This middle-aged man with glasses is called Ah Cheng, he is a writer and a close friend of Grangezhuang. Since Grange Zhuang plans to remake "Spring in a Small Town" after his comeback next year, the first person who comes to mind is Ah Cheng, who specially invited him back from the United States to rewrite "Spring in a Small Town". The implication of Ah Cheng's words is very clear, that is, Wang Dalun seems to be too rustic and healthy.

Tian Zhuangzhuang immediately shook his head and said: "Although Dai Liyan is a patient, his previous body was very healthy, and he used to be a person who could do handstands on the rings in school. If you have to get a sick person to play, I don't think it's good. ”

Compared with Mr. Fei Mu's films, Grange Zhuang is particularly partial to Dai Liyan. In the old version of "Spring in a Small Town", Zhang Zhichen was the first actor, and in the script he was about to remake, he gave more brushstrokes to Dai Liyan.

Indifference and objectivity have always been the style of director Zhuang Zhuang, even if he has been banned for ten years, he has not changed. The "Spring in a Small Town" in his mind should be to tell a story, it has nothing to do with Fengyue, nothing to do with family and country feelings, he will not be moved by Zhang Zhichen's passion, nor will he be depressed by the pain of Yuwen, maybe only Dai Liyan, who guards the mansion that is not dilapidated, is worthy of his sympathy. This is the biggest difference between the "Spring in a Small Town" that he wants to remake and the old version.

In fact, as soon as Tianzhuang finished speaking, Zeng Nianping immediately added with a smile: "He is rustic in the movie, he himself is not rustic at all, he played Wang Geng in "April Day in the World" last year. ”

As soon as both sides said this, Ah Cheng suddenly fell silent, Tianzhuang Zhuang needs a healthy appearance Dai Liyan; as for Wang Geng, he is a famous Confucian general in the history of the Republic of China, how can he be rustic if he can play such a person?

"What about the other two actors?" asked Li Shaohong, still a little uneasy.

She absolutely agrees with Wang Dalun, when Zeng Nianping mentioned "April Day in the World" just now, she regretted it in her heart, although "April Day in the World" was widely praised by the audience, but some people in the industry proposed that although Huang Lei is a little similar to Xu Zhimo in appearance, he does not have the agility of a poet in his eyes, and there are even more unkind people, who made an evaluation of "similar but not similar". In fact, she also noticed this problem during filming, and now think about why she didn't expect Wang Dalun to play Xu Zhimo. Of course, this is just her inner thoughts, and it is impossible to say.

"He Yu previously recommended an actor for me, who is from the National Theatre and has worked with him many times. I've watched his plays, and his acting skills are good, so it shouldn't be a problem to play Zhang Zhichen. As for the role of Yuwen, in my heart, it should be like Ruan Lingyu played by Zhang Yanyu. Of course, we can't afford to invite a big star like Zhang Yanyu, hehe. Let's help recommend a few, and try out the show together when the time comes. Grange Zhuang said with a smile.

Grange Zhuangzhuang laughed self-deprecatingly, but Li Shaohong pouted secretly, the news that he Grange was going to make a comeback next year and prepare to turn the classic had already spread. Don't look at the most well-known directors in China now are the two masters of Zhang and Chen, and now even Feng Xiaogang, who is a half-way monk and makes comedies, has some people compare him with the two masters of Zhang Chen, but most of the insiders, and even international film critics such as Marco Müller, chairman of the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, and Tadao Sato, a famous Japanese film critic, have praised him as "the most talented and outstanding film director in contemporary China".

You said that he wanted to make a movie and asked Zhang Yanyu to play the heroine, can Zhang Yanyu come? What's more, as soon as the news came out, many film companies were willing to invest, such as Mr. Jiang Ziqiang, the owner of Hong Kong's Anle Film Company and a lifelong lover of literary films, and even foreign investments from France and the Netherlands. Inviting a big-name star is not a question of whether you can afford to hire a star at all, but a question of whether you can use it or not.

Li Shaohong and he are both classmates of the directing department of the film academy and colleagues of the Beijing Film Studio for so many years, and he knows him very well, he is the kind of director who likes to control everything, although he has been banned from directing for so many years, he has been working as a planner and producer in Beijing Film Studio, he is afraid that the big names will not be able to handle it, so he likes to use some young actors.

In fact, when Grange Zhuang approached her and decided to remake "Spring in a Small Town", the first candidate she thought of for the role of Jade Pattern was Wang Ji. She once collaborated with Wang Ji in "Red Pink", Wang Ji in a cheongsam, the style of a moment in her gestures, the weakness when she left Lao Pu and fell off her hair as a nun, is simply impeccable. But now it's a pity that Wang Ji is obviously too old.

Li Shaohong sighed secretly, and when Tianzhuang Zhuang, Ah Cheng and others left the small theater, they were still thinking about letting Xiaowan think of a way to recommend a few actresses to come over, but I just didn't know if I could get into the eyes of Director Zhuang Zhuang.

…………

The drama of "Seafood" in the capital was filmed for almost a week, Wang Dalun would go to watch and watch every day, he didn't go to watch and play, he just wanted to experience what Xiaomei's state of mind was as a woman who had lost her footing, especially in the play, except for the concubine, the other actors were real young ladies, and the enthusiasm they burst out because of the novelty of making movies was more real, and he regarded it as experiencing life in advance.

In the play, Sasha, who was stuffed with money by the guests, is an important supporting role, and the concubine took her to the hospital to get the money out, and the doctor was her frequent customer; the money that was painstakingly pinched out turned out to be a fake coin, and Sasha was so angry that she wanted to tear it apart, but the concubine took her to the underground shopping mall, vegetable market, and supermarket to spend it with great difficulty, but in the end it was unsuccessful, and finally arrived at a small restaurant, where she was full of food and drink, and just walked out, but was chased out by the shopkeeper.

Of course, there are also the scenes in the song hall, because the song hall is still open at night, and it can only be filmed during the day, but fortunately, in a place like a song hall, day and night are no different. The music played, and the young ladies who were not on the clock gathered in the ladies room to play cards and chat. The concubine received a call from home and went out to make a call, but was favored by an elderly intellectual with good morals.

The elderly intellectuals brought the concubine home, and the home was actually a rental house where Zhu Wen and the concubine lived. Artist Gao Jianxin spent a whole day building a home for a single elderly intellectual with fake calligraphy and paintings bought from a street stall and all kinds of messy antiques.

The actor who plays the elderly intellectual is also pulled from the gate of Beijing Film Studio, and he is a retired professional actor, who is purely idle and earns some extra money. Zhu Wen negotiated a salary of 500 yuan with him, but when he was rehearsing, the old man was shy and very unnatural when he said his lines. Zhu Wen simply put the camera behind the old man, couldn't shoot his face, only let him read the lines, it was still a long shot, one question and one answer, the test was the acting skills of the concubine.

It is said that the concubine is really very talented, in the most popular words in the line, it is "the ancestor appreciates the food and eats". The concubine entered the door and undressed, took out a set of clothes from her bag and prepared to do business.

The old man told her that he couldn't get up. The concubine naturally suggested that he should not jerk off, right? The concubine glanced under the old man sitting on the chair, and did not get angry or mock, but said naturally, "Then add another hundred yuan." ”

The customer is God, just to please without ridicule; you get what you pay for, and the price is clearly marked. As for why Zhu Wen set the old man as an image of an elderly intellectual, what did he want to allude to? What did he want to metaphorize?

In fact, in the less than 20-minute play in the capital, there are too many things he wants to allude to and metaphorize, such as the money stuffed in Sasha's is a fake coin, and all the people who do small business have an amazing ability to identify counterfeit money, and at the same time they are not strange.

For example, the doctor in the small clinic is Xiaomei's old customer, and the doctor is familiar with this kind of work.

Well, the kind of elderly intellectual who can't get up and thinks it's boring to jerk off and has to add a hundred dollars to serve may be the father of the senior intellectual who looked for a young lady with his son in "I Love Dollars......";

To paraphrase Zhu Wen's sentence, "In fact, they are not special people, they are us." ”

Just after New Year's Day, it snowed again in the capital, which was heavier than the previous light snow, and the news came from Beidaihe, the snow there was extremely heavy, the temperature was only more than ten degrees below zero, and the sea ice was already connected into pieces.

Zhu Wen's "Seafood" is this kind of artistic conception, and he hurriedly informed everyone to leave early the next morning. That afternoon, just as Wang Dalun was packing up his things at home, he suddenly received a phone call, which surprised him. The drunken talk he thought was on the wine table turned out to be a reality, and Grange invited him to work together on his first film after his comeback, a remake of the classic masterpiece "Spring in a Small Town".
