Chapter 11 The Guards of the South Heavenly Gate

Classes during the week, shooting on the weekends, busy time flies quickly. In literati parlance, time flies like a white horse, and a month flies by. The filming of Koyama's homecoming is also coming to an end.

December 27, fine.

Today is the last day for Xiaoshan to go home for filming, and without his role, Di Yun didn't plan to go, but he was pulled over by Lao Jia, because Lao Jia was going to have a finale banquet tonight.

The funds for filming are less than 20,000 yuan, all of which are put together by Lao Jia, so they are very economical in filming, except for renting equipment to buy tickets and some necessary things, they haven't even eaten a meal together during the period, and the funds for this post-production have not yet been settled.

"Didn't you say that you don't have any money, why do you still invite you to dinner?" Di Yun asked.

"It's the lack of money." The hometown is a little helpless, "But these are two different things, everyone is here to help, I can't take it for granted without heart and lungs, no matter how much money I have, I still have to invite this finale banquet." ”

After the last shot fell, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly their whole body was relaxed, somewhat mixed with a sense of accomplishment.

Jia Zhangke also had a smile on his face, and said: "Everyone hurry up and pack up your things, Hongyun Hotel, don't get drunk tonight!" ”

The name of Hongyun Hotel is very loud, but the grade is not comparable to the name, at most it is a third-rate hotel, maybe not even a third-rate. A group of eleven people asked for a private room.

The process of filming is hard, but the truth can be shown in the hardship. We have endured hardships and struggled together, and this friendship is worth having and cherishing. So both men and women, they all drank some wine, and the banquet was staggered, and the atmosphere was so warm that it exploded.

Everyone talks about movies, ideals, celebrities, and hometowns. Talk about more than 20 years of life anecdotes, talk about the vision and expectation of the future.

Di Yun felt that although this finale banquet was not as luxurious as "shake, shake...", it was full of passion and sincerity.

Infected by the atmosphere, he also wanted to talk about his ideals and what he wanted to do, but he didn't know where to start. The word ideal didn't have much to do with him before, and now it's just a few thoughts, vague and can't be seen clearly.

If you want to speak but can't do it, probably like Xiaoshan in the film just finished, she panicked, so she raised her wine glass and said, "Come, let's go!" ”

This time, Di Yun drank too much.

was sent back to the yard by Wang Hongwei, the only one who remained awake, climbed into bed and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, my brain hurt. Knowing that the inferior wine was still drunk to death, it was not taken to the hospital.

I hit a basin of cold water, buried my whole face in it, and held my breath for dozens of seconds before I woke up.

Saying hello to the girl opposite, the two went out one after the other, one riding a bicycle in front and the other jogging in the back. Since turning down the girl's invitation to perform in the drama that day, the relationship between the two has remained lukewarm.

As soon as I went out, I met an old lady carrying a basket of vegetables.

"Teacher Liu, it's early." The two stopped and said hello to the old lady.

"Xiao Xu should be careful on the road." The old lady said.

"Hey." Xu Jinglei responded.

When her bicycle disappeared around the corner, the old lady called out to Di Yun, who was about to start, and said, "Xiaoyun, don't worry, I'll say a few words to you." ”

Di Yun stopped, a little puzzled in his heart, not knowing what the old lady was going to say.

"Didn't Qiangzi say that he wanted to contact Zhang Jianya for you some time ago, and called back yesterday to say that the contact was good, and asked you to go to Jingye Building on Chang'an Road today to try out." The old lady said, "I didn't say anything about seeing you drunk last night, you go over and have a look today." ”

"What kind of film are you filming?" Di Yun asked.

"I didn't say it, you just have to go and see."

"Okay!" Di Yun was very happy in his heart, he originally thought that what Liu Qiang said that day was a shadowless thing, but he didn't expect it to come true.

I didn't go to school anymore, so I helped the old lady carry the vegetable basket back to the yard, put down the books under my arm, and rubbed my head a little more energetically before going out.

There are quite a lot of people in the hall on the first floor of Jingye Building today, all of them are here to try out the play, some are here to try their luck.

"Hey, buddy, what's this film for?" Di Yun grabbed a young man of the same age and asked.

"I don't know." The young man shook his head, looking at him with a little exaggerated vigilance.

"Your sister, don't be so exaggerated." Di Yun thought helplessly, "What era is this, and the competition in the film industry is so fierce?" ”

"Hey, come here and register." When Di Yun was stunned and rushed inside, a man with gold-rimmed glasses stopped him at the door.

I flipped through the register, and there were sixty or seventy people on four and a half pages. Write down the name, gender, and occupation according to the above, and fill in a student after thinking about it, and then write 'Beijing Film Academy' in parentheses.

"Studying acting?" The golden man asked.

"Well, I'm a junior this year." Diyun replied.

"There are too many people today, and there is no way for the Beijing Film Academy, so they all have to queue up. Let's get in line, I'll call you when it's time. ”

Di Yun looked at the black head in front of him, when will this be queued? He leaned over to the golden man and whispered, "Is there a green channel?" ”

Jin Si Nan looked at him for a moment before asking, "Who introduced you here?" ”

"Liu Qiang." Di Yun replied, seeing that Jin Si Nan blinked his eyes and didn't quite understand, he continued, "A lawyer, asked me to come over and find Zhang Jianya directly... That's the director, right? ”

"Yes." The corner of the golden man's mouth twitched slightly, and said, "Okay, you come with me." ”

Di Yun followed behind the golden man, circled around the building for half a circle, and walked to the back.

Jin Si Nan pointed to the iron staircase for emergency escape and said, "Let's go up from here, the innermost room on the third floor." After finishing speaking, he lifted his glasses and left unhappily.

Di Yun slandered in his heart, is it necessary to do this, isn't it just to choose a corner, how to make it look like doing underground work.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little humble, even when he was moving coal at the honeycomb coal plant more than a month ago, he had never had such an idea.

I lit a cigarette and didn't rush upstairs, but sat down the stairs and thought carefully. When did it start? The thought was pushed forward, and it continued until the day I stepped into the Beijing Film Academy, probably from the time of the conflict with the doorman.

Little people are always small people, they struggled at the bottom of society in their last life, and they still can't be great when they become actors in this life.

During this time, there will always be inexplicable thoughts of one kind or another, which come suddenly and go quickly. After smoking a cigarette, the wave of thought dissipated. Be humble, be humble, as long as you can earn money, who will not have a time when you are humble.

"This kind of literary and youthful thinking is simply unbelievable." Knock on his head and start climbing the stairs.

Climbing to the third floor, before I could push the door, the door opened from the inside, and a young girl appeared at the top of the stairs, startled, and quickly retreated.

Di Yun entered the staircase, and the girl carefully went out through the staircase, and then hurried away.

Di Yun smiled, needless to say, that girl, like him, went through the back door.

The door at the end of the third floor was open without even knocking.

Behind the desk facing the door sat a man, in his forties. Half of the hair fell out of the originally small head, and the forehead appeared to be broad.

"Looking for whom?"

Di Yun smiled and said, "Director Zhang, hello, I was introduced by Liu Qiang and Brother Liu. ”

"Oh, your name is Diyun, right?" A slight smile appeared on Zhang Jianya's face, beckoned to him and said, "Come in, um, close the door." ”

After taking a seat, Zhang Jianya said: "I heard Xiao Liu say that you are from the film academy. ”

"Well, a junior this year."

"Have you ever had filming experience before?"

Di Yun nodded: "Yes, I made a cameo in Zhang Yi's 'Shake, Shake...', and I made a movie with my classmates some time ago." ”

He was not interested in the filmmakers he and his classmates filmed, but asked, "Oh? What is played in Director Zhang's movie? ”

Di Yun touched his nose: "It's just a thug." ”

Zhang Jianya nodded, leaned back in his chair and said, "Have you read the original Journey to the West?" ”

I've watched the Journey to the West TV series many times, but as for the book, I just read the beginning, and I felt obscure, so I didn't watch it again.

Shook his head.

Zhang Jianya pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "If Sun Wukong hits the Heavenly Palace, you are the general guarding the South Heavenly Gate, what will you do?" ”

"What?" It won't be filming Journey to the West, right? Di Yun felt a little bit out of the way.

Zhang Jianya stood up, walked to the position opposite him and said, "You treat me as a Monkey King now, I have now hit the Nantian Gate, you do this?" As he spoke, he made a gesture of holding his chest up and carrying a stick.

Di Yun almost didn't laugh, why is this director so funny? Standing up, it was hard to hold back the laughter. After calming down, I closed my eyes and thought about it.

After a few seconds, he opened his eyes, his eyebrows squeezed into the middle, his eyes became sharp, and he held the weapon in his right hand and slammed it to the ground, which would be better if he could match the sound effect. Then he pointed his left hand into a sword, pointed at the Monkey King who was bare-headed, and reprimanded: "Bah! Where did the bold demon monkey come from, he dared to break into the Nantianmen privately, and quickly reported his name! ”

"Your grandfather, Monkey King!"

"Bold!" Di Yun's face was full of anger, and he imagined the weapon in his hand as a gun, drew a circle, and pointed the head of the gun downward and obliquely to the ground, looking ready to move.

"Alright, sit down." Zhang Jianya put away his movements, returned to his chair and said, "The traces of the TV series are very heavy, but the momentum is out." ”

After speaking, he opened the drawer and flipped through it, took out three or four pages from it, handed it to him, and said, "This drama is called making a big fuss in the sky." Your character is the general on duty at Nantianmen, there are more than two points of play, you can take a look first. ”

Di Yun picked up this script and read it, the appearance time of this character was only about two and a half minutes, first scolded Sun Wukong twice, and then went through a few tricks with Sun Wukong, and finally was beaten into a pile of scum by Sun Wukong with a stick. That's basically what it looks like, there's nothing difficult.

"No problem, right?"

Di Yun shook his head: "No problem. ”

"That's done. Do you have any comments on the salary of 3,000? ”

"Nope." Di Yun shook his head. This price is very good for a pink newcomer like him who has little experience, how can he have an opinion?

"Nacheng, you take the script back and look at it, and by the way, you will be familiar with the action of the fight inside." Zhang Jianya said, "You don't have many scenes, and it's probably okay to stay in the crew, so let's leave a phone number, and I'll have someone call you in advance when the time comes to shoot your scene." ”

Di Yun left the phone in Old Man Liu's house and got up to say goodbye.

Returning the way he came, he found that the girl who had left earlier had returned and was wandering under the stairs.

"Hello."

Di Yun didn't understand why this girl suddenly accosted her, and replied out of politeness: "Hello, is there something wrong?" ”

"Nope." The girl smiled embarrassedly, "I just want to ask what you play?" ”

"Well, the guards of the South Heavenly Gate don't seem to have a name." Diyun replied.

The two talked as they walked, going around the building, all the way to the intersection, and then parting.

Di Yun probably learned that the girl's name was Jiang Xinyan, a student of the acting department of the Beijing Drama Academy, a sophomore in a few years, and played Chang'e in this movie.
