Chapter 37: Finishing with Crying (Ask for Collection)
At a press conference, the reporter asked questions about the questions designed by the crew in advance. The actor answers according to the lines prepared by the company in advance. Everyone knows it, but they don't say anything about it, and they carefully maintain this rare harmonious scene......
The day after the press conference, the long-interrupted shooting was finally able to resume again.
The shooting was divided into two groups, first of all, Ye Jing took Liu La and them to continue to shoot normally.
At the same time, there is another group, which is carried out by the assistant director with these new actors. Their job is to reshoot the actors they have replaced, and the shots that have been filmed before.
The task of these newcomers is still relatively heavy, they have to follow the assistant director to make up the shots, but at the same time, they can't ignore the shooting of new content on Ye Jing's side. Fortunately, these reshoots no longer need to go to other places, otherwise it will be more troublesome and headache.
On the first day of shooting, because the relationship between the "old and the new" was still not familiar with each other, the director made slow progress in shooting, and from time to time he would get stuck in some small details and coordination.
For example, the lines don't match, the expressions don't communicate, and there is even a big oolong like hitting the other party in a position. And with these mistakes, Ye Jing had to stop over and over again. Fortunately, Ye Jing was in a good mood today, just shouting, and did not lose his temper.
In fact, the new and the old refer not only to the relationship between the actor and the actor, but also the relationship between the staff and the actor.
To take a simple example, for Liu La, these "old people", the staff will know better. For example, Liu La likes to drink iced tea, Bai Xue doesn't eat ginger, Tong Dawei pays more attention to health, and Chen Yufan always likes to hold a piece of Sydney pear in his mouth in order to protect his throat.
The small hobbies and small details of these "old" actors are all clear to the staff, so they will pay special attention.
But for newcomers, they naturally don't know so well, and it is difficult to grasp each other's preferences and scales. This kind of strangeness makes everyone look particularly twisted when they cooperate, but the crew filming is a kind of work that requires a lot of cooperation.
Fortunately, the overall atmosphere of the crew of "Days Related to Youth" is still very good, and after a day or two of filming, the relationship between the new and the old gradually began to get acquainted, and the filming speed became faster.
And when the sense of familiarity comes, new problems will appear, and the problems will change from the continuous mistakes at the beginning to the current continuous laughter.
The laughing scene is very difficult to do, and it can only be adjusted by the actors themselves, and they don't rely on other help. In order to suppress this problem, Ye Jing came up with a ruthless and damaging trick, once the filming started, whoever laughed once would throw a hundred yuan into an empty box next to him, and when he had enough of a thousand, he would use the money to invite everyone to supper.
As the two people with the lowest laughing points, after this punishment appeared, Liu La and Wen Zhang basically had to fill this box twice a day.
Fortunately, after Lao Xu became the producer, Liu La's contract was also changed, which was much more generous than the previous one. Others don't talk about it, just from Liu La, it has risen from 1,006 per episode to 4,000 per episode now.
If this is put on hold until the salary is raised, and they are invited to eat like this every day, they will have to bankrupt Liu La and Wenzhang. Although it hurts very much now, the two of them can barely accept it, no way, who told them to laugh low in their uninhibited indulgence in this life.
Maybe it's because of Ye Jing's damage that has taken effect, or maybe there have been so many accidents that have made everyone more interested in this job opportunity, or maybe it's because the filming has been delayed for too long, so everyone is eager to finish filming this TV series.
In short, in the next period of time, the actors began to get into the groove and rarely made mistakes again. And the staff also began to speed up, and the crew as a whole entered the kind of period of busy, tense every day, but at the same time orderly.
Finally, after spending more than two months like this, when the beginning of autumn is about to begin, the filming of the TV series has come to the final scene.
The content filmed before was about their group going to Guangzhou-Zhou to do business, but they were deceived. How can these people have a good stubble, and after saving a game, they also began to prepare to start deceiving back. And in this process, there are constant contradictions, betrayals, and suspicions between several friends, and this mutual distrust eventually leads to the failure of the team, and Zhuo Zhuo is stabbed to death in the hotel.
And after the death of Excellence, everyone completely broke up and dispersed to the ends of the world. Some returned to the capital, some stayed in Guangzhou, and some went abroad.
And the last scene is about the fact that after more than ten years of the incident, the dialect played by Tong Dawei returned to China, and then found everyone one by one and went to worship excellence together.
This last scene takes place in a cemetery, on a cold winter morning, a group of friends who were once young, who once struggled, who once loved each other, are no longer young, no longer believe in love, and have not gathered for many years, come together to the place where the bones are buried.
They walked into the cemetery side by side, their expressions solemn, like they walked side by side in that alley more than ten years ago. It's just that now, they have less of the flamboyance and arrogance of their youth, and more of the sad or lamentable introverted and deep.
They walked all the way to the remarkable tombstone, looking at the black and white photo of Wen Zhang, which was clinging to the tombstone, "fluttering", Liu La and Bai Xue couldn't hold back their joy at the same time.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"We're going to add food to everyone."
They both felt that they didn't need to be greeted, so they walked over and threw a hundred yuan at the box, and then walked back to continue filming.
β321Actionγβ With Ye Jing's order, the shooting proceeded again, and this time the shot started from the moment everyone walked to the tombstone of Excellence.
Everyone was holding something in their hands, some holding flowers, some holding wine, some holding fruits, some pulling out cigarettes, and some taking out a white cloth.
The one who holds the flower puts the flower on the tombstone, the one who holds the wine spills the wine next to the tombstone, the one who holds the fruit and enshrines it under the tombstone, and the one who holds the cigarette lights two sticks, one on the top of the tombstone, and the other in his mouth.
The one left with the white cloth was Qiao Qiao played by Bai Xue. The girl had to be more careful, she walked over and began to gently wipe the tombstone, wiping the dust that was not there at all.
Everyone is doing different things, the only thing in common is that no one has spoken, and they all remain silent, as if they are paying tribute to excellence, and it is more like paying tribute to the page of youth that they have already turned.
However, youth is not a piece of paper after all, it is a memory, a kind of longing, a persistence that cannot be let go, and more countless regrets. Everyone didn't speak, they all thought that if they had done something right, or persevered in something, maybe Excellence wouldn't have died. However, if it is only if after all, the debt in the heart is also destined to be repaid in a lifetime.
After a long time, finally, the dialect played by Tong Dawei was the first to speak: "I'm sorry, Zhuo Zhuo, I haven't come to see you for a long time after all these years abroad." When I come back this year, I'll bring everyone together to see you. Excellence, we haven't seen each other for many years, we have all changed, only you have not changed. Do you remember, seventeen years ago, on the train to Guangzhou, you said to me, sooner or later, we will all be like the people in this car, with different directions, with different thoughts, leaving each other only missing, excellence, how can you say it so accurately! β
In the depths of love, Tong Dawei's tears couldn't help but float to his eyes, and Bai Xue, a girl, directly left tears.
After a pause, Tong Dawei said again: "Excellence, you don't know, buddy has now become a writer, and buddy is an overseas Chinese in the United States." Feng pants are even more awesome, he actually made a movie, what commercial movie he made, the box office was tens of millions at every turn, and he was a first-line director in China. You said how stupid we were at the time, in order to protect a broken box with 200,000 yuan inside, your grandson was stunned and didn't let go, you said that you didn't lose anything, and now Feng's pants are worth more than this. β
wiped his tears, and continued: "And Gao Yang, he is also very powerful now, with the 200,000 yuan you desperately protected, he has done real estate with Guangzhou, and the business is very big, and he has recently begun to get involved in the film and television industry, and I heard that he has invested in a TV series." Do you remember, this grandson likes to play football the most, but now that he is fat, he can't kick anymore, so he can only watch the excitement. β
"And Xu Xun and Qiaoqiao, let me tell you something, after you hung up, they stayed in Guangzhou for a few years, saying that they finally avenged you, and if I asked carefully, they refused to say more. They are now married, and they have a girl who is very good-looking, and Qiao Qiao has opened a beauty salon and is making money every day. Xu Xun opened a bar in Houhai, playing in a nostalgic style, don't you particularly like the lead singer of the Black Panther Band, Dou Wei, coincidentally, the two of them are now next to each other in the bar, drinking tea and playing chess together. By the way, I can't tell whether it's bad or happy, this buddy surnamed Dou divorced the queen of the king, don't you look down on the combination of the two, now it's your wish......"
The dialect whispered, incessantly, telling Excellence about the trivial events that had happened over the years, in great detail. And with his words, whenever he mentions a person's name, the camera shoots at that person.
Eventually, there seemed to be nothing more to say, the dialect stopped, and after thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Excellence, I want to write our story into a novel, about our days related to youth." β
And as his words fell, the camera quickly swept over everyone's faces, and finally fixed on the photo of Wen Zhang's smile at the tombstone.
"Cards! We're done" At this point, Ye Jing jumped up from the stool suddenly, and then shouted excitedly.
But as he shouted, there was not a cheer, but a low sob. At the moment when the filming was completed, these young people, including Liu La, suddenly all cried, and I don't know if it was because they were too deep in the film, or they were reluctant to end the filming......
