On Monday, Wang Zijun came to the crew on time, and many of the indoor scenes in the movie were not completed on the set, but were filmed directly in the mountaintop villas of Qiong Yao and Ping Xintao.

Ping Xintao is the producer and executive producer of the show, but he doesn't come to the set often after he arranges things, but takes care of his Crown Publishing business.

What caught Wang Zijun's attention the most were two photographers - Chen Kunhou and Lai Chengying, especially the former, who was hailed by later generations as one of the three founders of Taiwan's new films, and was as famous as the famous director Hou Hsiao-hsien. The latter is not simple, Lai Chengying has won the Golden Horse Award for Best Cinematography for three consecutive years at this time, and he is still the director of photography in this film.

By the way, Lai Chengying is Chen Kunhou's uncle.

At this time, Taiwan was not as popular as Hong Kong to turn on the camera and worship God, and after the crew arrived, Li Xing wore a sun hat and sat in the director's car and shouted to start the film.

Many people only know that the actor is Wang Zijun today, but there is no surprise that Qiong Yao's plays often use newcomers, and they have never been in contact with newcomers in acting.

However, Wang Zijun's performance quickly surprised them.

Playing opposite Wang Zijun are veteran actors Han Su and Zilan, who play the heroine's parents respectively.

Zilan pulled Wang Zijun to sit down and stared at him for a long time, Wang Zijun made an embarrassed expression, his eyelids drooped, but he didn't make any other movements.

Li Xing applauded in his heart, this subtle action directly interprets the psychology and surname of the character very well, I heard that this young man has never filmed before, how can he look like a veteran?

"Click!" After shooting a few shots, Li Xing suddenly shouted to stop, and everyone else was surprised, it was very good just now, why did the director stop it?

Li Xing closed his eyes, the few shots just now made him feel uncomfortable, it was not clear where this feeling came from, anyway, he felt that the picture just now had a sense of tearing.

"Remake!" Li Xing thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, so he had to start over.

This time, Wang Zijun only said a few words, and Li Xing shouted to stop, which made Wang Zijun confused.

"Zijun, come here!" Li Xing beckoned to Wang Zijun.

Wang Zijun walked over with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What's wrong?" Director. Am I going wrong somewhere? ”

"It's not your problem." Li Xing asked, "Who did you learn your acting skills from?" ”

Wang Zijun pretended to be ignorant and said, "I didn't learn from anyone." ”

Li Xingdao: "Do you feel that your performance style is very life-like, and your words and deeds are very ordinary, and there is no difference between speaking and talking. And they, Han Su and Zilan are all old drama bones, but their acting skills have a kind of stage flavor. ”

"No, I think the movie is a reflection of real life, how to speak at ordinary times, how to speak at this time." Wang Zijun said and began to recall Taiwanese films in the seventies and eighties, and sure enough, as Li Xing said, the stage flavor and literary flavor are too strong, while Hong Kong, except for a few individuals, is realistic from beginning to end.

It can also be said that at this time, Taiwan's intellectuals were collectively escaping from reality -- Taiwan's politics. The repression of governance and the uncertainty of the future made them turn to the level of literature and art. It wasn't until the New Cinema Movement in the 80s that it really began to move into realism. However, the habits that have been cultivated over the years cannot be changed for a while, and although Taiwanese films in the early 80s specialized in realistic themes, the literary flavor could not be eliminated.

(Except for weird things like "The Duck Farmer", but that was also in the 60s. repression, but at least Taiwan has not been completely abandoned by the international community. ）

Do you want me to change my style? Wang Zijun shuddered at the thought of that kind of Qiong Yao-style disease-free moan.

Li Xing listened to what Wang Zijun said, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said, "I appreciate your acting method, but now you have to change it." There is no need to change too much, and the tone and demeanor are a little exaggerated. Otherwise, when you play against them, the way you perform will ruin the overall sense of the picture. Moreover, there are many places where Qiong Yao opera must borrow the performance method of stage plays in order to perform the taste. ”

"I'll try." Wang Zijun stubbornly agreed.

Next, Wang Zijun made several mistakes in a row, and finally found a balance, that is, the way he acted when he first filmed a TV series, but when he watched his performance in the cinema afterwards, he fell goosebumps.

After filming all morning, during dinner, Wang Zijun began to contact the crew of the crew, most of whom were acquaintances of Li Xing or employees of his film studio.

Wang Zijun found Lai Chengying and Chen Kunhou to chat about photography, he looked at the two cameras of the crew, and asked in surprise: "Why are there two cameras in the whole crew?" And I think it's often a camera working, and the results of multi-camera shooting are not better. ”

Lai Chengying explained with a smile: "Film costs money, why use two cameras to shoot the effect?" Two cameras can handle basically all the shooting problems. ”

Wang Zijun was speechless for a moment, Chen Houkun did make sense, and now it is not a blockbuster. And it's understandable to reduce costs while taking care of basic quality.

But such a movie, after editing, the picture will look very dull. Of course, whether it is rigid or not is for Wang Zijun, and the current audience will not find fault with this.

Chen Kunhou was very interested in what Wang Zijun said, but he was only promoted to photographer this year, so he had no weight to speak. But I was thinking about when I was free, and I had a more in-depth chat with Wang Zijun.

Wang Zijun avoided the topic of the camera position, and only chatted with the two about shooting techniques. Wang Zijun didn't dare to talk about things that were very professional and in-depth, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to speak well, and he was worried that it would arouse the suspicion of the other party.

But it was some photography tips that were very common in later generations, but they aroused the interest of the two photographers in front of him, Lai Chengying said happily: "You can try it, but some of the techniques you said need auxiliary equipment, and I will study and study it with Houkun after I go back." ”

"Zijun, how did you come up with this? Have you ever fiddled with a camera before? Lai Chengying said strangely.

"No, no, it's just whimsical." Wang Zijun said.

There is no restaurant on the hilltop villa, and the crew's meals are all made by the chef Qiong Yao invited to her home temporarily, which is much better than ordinary working meals.

Everyone was eating happily, Qiong Yao came back from the company and asked Li Xing with a smile: "Is the morning play going well?" ”

Li Xing was full of praise for Wang Zijun's acting skills and said: "I think he can be a full-time actor, which is more promising than singing." ”

Qiong Yao didn't expect Wang Zijun to be recognized by Director Li Da, which has the credit for her casting, and said with a smile: "Don't say that." The box office of our whole drama may not be as good as the dividends of one of his records. ”

"That's right." Li Xing nodded and said. Although he doesn't mix in the music world, Zuo Hongyuan is his old friend, so he naturally knows Wang Zijun's record sales very well.

I heard that the sales of "Serving the Country with Loyalty" in Taiwan have reached almost 450,000 copies, and the "military, public and educational" personnel alone have bought nearly 300,000 copies, and the statistics outside the island have also returned little by little: 45,000 copies in Hong Kong, 60,000 copies in Malaysia, and 40,000 copies in Singapore...... These data are still growing slowly.

If the sales volume reaches 50,000 copies, even if it is a platinum record, Wang Zijun only releases this record, which is equivalent to other singers being busy for several years.

Now all singers in Taiwan regard Wang Zijun as a monster, and if they want to break his achievements, they don't know what year and month they have to wait.

However, Wang Zijun knows that when Chiang Ching-kuo's well-off plan slowly unfolds, more and more lower-class people will become rich, and the sales of records will increase a lot as a whole. After all, it's still the era of vinyl records, there is no tape piracy, there is no online piracy, and if you want to listen to songs, you have to buy records honestly.
