78 Three women, one play
Feng Tangtang's workplace drama "Rest Room" focuses on an office and has no real male protagonist. The love in workplace dramas is just an embellishment, and even a tool for workplace battles, so there are not many scenes for male characters.
The five women are the focal point of the whole play. Three are in their 20s, one in their 30s and one in their early 40s.
They have shaped different faces of women in the workplace: two interns who are fighting openly and secretly; A two-year employee, not professionally refined, but dreams of marrying the president; A five-year professional veteran is a woman with a happy family, and the highest position is a middle manager, with more than 10 years of experience.
Wei Wei, played by Fan Qiaotong, is a perspective character among the five women, and more plots also revolve around her, and she is the first heroine.
The second female is the same student who fights with her, and the setting is worse than the heroine's family background, harder than the heroine, and clumsier than the heroine, and gradually embarked on a crooked path.
The second female lead is an actor under Yunmo, named Yuan Na, who was born in advertising films. If you don't count the movies Fan Qiaotong has just made, her qualifications are similar to Fan Qiaotong's, and she has also filmed four or five TV series, one or two of which have been broadcast, and the scenes are not enough.
In Feng Tangtang's opinion, Yuan Na's talent is not bad, in the impression of her previous life, she has been tepid in the ranks of second-tier small flowers in the future, and she belongs to the type that has never encountered a good show, and there is potential for explosion in the future.
The character of the female number three is a green tea, and she wholeheartedly wants to get on top through the unspoken rules. The actor who plays this role is called Zhu Qingqing, who is not an artist in Yun Mo's hands, but was remembered by Sun Ping for playing a brilliant palace maid when filming "The Legend of the Lady" before. She played the third female this time, and Sun Ping asked her to audition for the play, and she retained it herself.
The remaining two older characters are played by two acquaintances of Feng Tangtang. Xue Lan and Shuanghua in "The Legend of the Lady".
These two "old drama bones" came to participate in this play, all of them were selling Li Gang's face, and they were grateful to Li Gang for bringing them a new peak in their careers. Even if they don't have many scenes, they are only three weeks of filming, which can not only repay the favor, but also have a good reputation of "bringing newcomers", why not.
Coupled with the many years of confrontation between the two actors, Xue Lan and Shuanghua, and their own hot spots, Feng Tangtang is very relieved and satisfied with the "older group". On the other hand, when Feng Tangtang was filming "The Legend of the Lady" before, Xue Lan and Shuanghua also saw Feng Tangtang's professional ability and way of dealing with people, and they would not despise her because of her new director.
On the contrary, he is a rookie actor, but he looks down on a rookie director.
Yuan Na under Yun Mo's hand, the main YY script to be written is really a "double heroine", and she thinks that she is no worse than Fan Qiaotong's role. Since she took the play, she was shouting to add drama, Feng Tangtang didn't add it to her, so she complained openly and secretly, such as "Feng Tangtang is Li Gang's relation, Fan Qiaotong is Feng Tangtang's relation...... upward and downward effects, take jujube pills" and so on.
Zhu Qingqing, who was hand-picked by Sun Ping, thought that Sun Ping was the director when he entered the group. At that time, the two older age groups had already decided on Xue Lan and Shuanghua, and she completely regarded this film as a modern version of "The Legend of Concubine Shu". As a result, the script was deleted several times, her role was given to a female and a female second, and the director was replaced by newcomer Feng Tangtang - if she didn't have other scenes to take, I'm afraid she would have resigned like the original heroine.
There is only Fan Qiaotong, Feng Tangtang's evaluation of her is "keep your head down and do things with your head up, and be a man". The acting skills are passable, and the degree of cooperation on the scene is also high, but I don't socialize with other people in the group. This character is placed on Yun Mo, called "superstar style", and on her, it looks a little "noble and cold".
It's just that she has the highest passing rate.
Yuan Na's hatred, resentment, and jealousy of Fan Qiaotong in the play are basically true feelings from the heart. always thinking about overpowering Fan Qiaotong and elevating the second female to the status of the double heroine.
And Zhu Qingqing, who has always felt cheated, is like her character, jumping up and down to do things, and should wear small shoes for Feng Tangtang openly and secretly with some staff who are dissatisfied with Feng Tangtang. thought that in this way, Sun Ping would descend from the producer to direct, how far Feng Tangtang could roll......
The dark tide is surging.
As a director, Feng Tangtang knows every actor's surface and off-stage skills.
As the saying goes, three women in one play. Whether she can direct this drama or not depends on her, a woman, to solve it herself.
She is not afraid of the poor relationship in the group, nor is she afraid of rumors and rumors, the only thing she is afraid of is not to play.
The director's main job was originally to give full play to the potential of all actors, rather than building the crew into a "harmonious family".
After observing Yuan Na and Zhu Qingqing for a while, Feng Tangtang gradually had an idea in his heart.
※
In a group scene of five actresses, Feng Tangtang took the initiative to invite Sun Ping to guide on the spot.
Group drama is a test for both actors and directors.
The actors must play with each other, give the best play to the state in the confrontation, and stand out in more shots.
The director, on the other hand, has to guide the chemistry between them, highlight the key points in the shot, and maintain the balance in the relationship between several faces and pairs.
When Sun Ping arrived at the scene, she didn't say much, and stood directly next to the monitor, saying, "I'm just going to see."
Xue Lanjia is full of positions, she is not the main actor, and she did not show any special treatment for Sun Ping's tour, but she still prepared for the drama by herself.
The three little ones were all very excited.
On the first day of playing, Fan Xiaotong had no role, this was the first time she saw Sun Ping. She has always admired and been very curious about this strong female director, and she was as excited to see Sun Ping as if a fan had seen the deity.
Yuan Na felt that Sun Ping could help her add drama, and she was gearing up to make up her moves and show her best acting skills.
The most excited was Zhu Qingqing, she saw Sun Ping as if she was going to the court/petitioning the wronged people to see the emperor, and she immediately rushed to Sun Ping's side: "Director Sun! ”
Sun Ping asked with an iceberg face as always: "Huh?" ”
"How did Director Sun remember to come to the scene today?" Zhu Qingqing asked pointedly, "Can't you let go of the young director?" You see, this kind of play still has to be done by someone as experienced as you......"
Sun Ping interrupted her: "Tang Tang called me here, I came over without any trouble." I picked and looked at the part she had taken before, and it was good, nothing to worry about. ”
Zhu Qingqing had already prepared a large paragraph of words, and choked back in his stomach.
"It's you, it's better to have aura in "The Legend of the Lady". Sun Ping looked at Zhu Qingqing and commented coldly, "The aura of newcomers depends on talent. has been in the circle for a long time, and he can't polish a more sophisticated temperament, but ruins the original temperament. ”
“……”
"Of course, I hope you're not." Sun Ping gave her a look of "you can still save it".
Zhu Qingqing immediately distinguished: "The temperament of the actor also depends on the director's adjustment/training." You said that I have aura, that's because you were a good guide in Group B of "The Legend of the Lady". ”
"You mean, Tang Tang is not good?" Sun Ping saw Feng Tangtang walking towards them and asked loudly, "What do you think is bad, what is not good, you can mention it, cooperation requires communication between both parties." ”
Feng Tangtang walked over with a smile, his steps were brisk and confident, and he said to Sun Ping easily: "Sister Ping, it's almost time to start." ”
Sun Ping motioned to her: "Wait a minute, your actor has something to say." ”
"What?" Feng Tangtang turned to Zhu Qingqing, and the smile on his face increased.
Zhu Qingqing only wanted to make a small report, and she didn't have the courage to confront Feng Tangtang face to face.
Because she couldn't say anything, she was specifically dissatisfied with Feng Tangtang.
She just wanted to get Feng Tangtang away, let this drama hang the name of Sun Ping, and make her acting career look more shining.
The content she wanted to report to Sun Ping was all complaints and sowing discord such as "Feng Tangtang compresses my shooting time" or "Feng Tangtang has a poor relationship with the lighter".
Such content, in front of the Lord, naturally cannot be declared.
"Is there a problem, Qingqing?" Feng Tangtang asked again in a more amiable tone, "What's the problem, now hurry up and say that filming is going to start." ”
Zhu Qingqing looked at Feng Tangtang and then at Sun Ping, his heart turned a thousand times, and he muttered: "No ......"
"Okay, then you can go to the scene and prepare for the show!" Feng Tangtang patted her encouragingly, but it made her body tremble.
Feng Tangtang ignored her exaggerated reaction and shouted on the walkie-talkie: "All departments are ready, it's time to start." Did Sister Xue Lan come out of the dressing room? Okay, Sister Xue Lan is in place. Xiaotong...... Hurry up, hurry up, Teacher Shuanghua and Cortana have been waiting in the venue for a long time. Cortana is very active and energetic today. Great! ”
The staff who played the board had already arrived at the singing side, and Feng Tangtang shouted: "Report the turmoil, the first scene, Action!" ”

The middle manager who plays Shuanghua sits facing the camera.
There were four people standing in front of him, including Xue Lan.
Shuanghua's lines: "I have read all your quarterly debriefing reports, including those of the two interns. ”
The other two cameras that shoot the roles of the four employees are both Shuanghua's over-the-shoulder perspective, that is, to express "them in the eyes of managers". Shuanghua's lines clicked on the two interns, and the camera naturally swept to Fan Qiaotong and Yuan Na.
The character played by Fan Qiaotong is not good at expression, so she followed the script and performed the tension of "looking at the nose and the nose and the heart".
And Yuan Na, according to the character of the script, she should look at Shuanghua generously and confidently, smiling.
But...... Yuan Na was a little overconfident.
Her movements and expressions were like peacocks with the screen open, her head tilted up to the sky, and in front of her boss, she was stunned to show a sense of nobility that looked down on all beings.
Feng Tangtang's face is black, and the green tea characters next to him are not so exaggerated! What kind of demon is a girl?
"Stop!!" Feng Tangtang immediately shouted to stop, "Xiao Na, it's too outgoing, take it, it's okay to be confident, generous, and cheerful, don't look down on Teacher Shuanghua." ”
Sun Ping also shook her head on the side. Yuan Na knew that she had performed too much, but it caused Sun Ping's disgust and regret.
"Thank you for your hard work, one more." Feng Tangtang said on the walkie-talkie, "The lines still start with Teacher Shuanghua, debriefing and reporting the turmoil, the first and second scenes, Action!" ”
