432 Prenatal depression
"Ah Lang's Story" was filmed backwards, that is, the first scene after the start of filming, and the finale was filmed, which is very different from Wang Xiaohu's previous habit of insisting on starting the film and shooting the beginning of the film. 【】
In fact, Wang Xiaohu's reason for this was very simple, at that time, he was very unfamiliar in the director industry after he was reborn, in order to keep the characteristics and classics of those classic movies in his memory, he would shoot according to the previous beginning of the story, so that he could quickly find the feeling of a director.
A few years later, Wang Xiaohu has directed many classic productions in his memory, and has accumulated quite a wealth of directing experience.
No director will shoot the finale as soon as he comes up, but Wang Xiaohu will do such an outrageous thing, mainly because he feels that the ending part is too sensational and pessimistic.
does not deny that the plot of the tragedy is often more heart-wrenching to Wang Xiaohu, but at the end of this play, in addition to the tear-jerking of Ah Lang's accidental death, the father-son relationship in the film is sometimes witty and funny, sometimes innocent and touching, which really makes people feel sad and sad with nowhere to say. He wanted to finish filming this depressing scene as soon as possible and go straight to the light-hearted comedy.
With Wang Xiaohu's order, the crew invited the media reporters and idlers who participated in the start-up ceremony out of the set, the main actors also began to change costumes, the prop master nervously adjusted various props, and the photographer also laid out rail cars around the track according to Wang Xiaohu's requirements with the help of his assistant.
If you calculate carefully, Wang Xiaohu has not directed a movie in person for almost a year, and picking up that tweeter makes him feel a little nostalgic. Not far away, Chow Yun-fat, who had already changed his costumes, was talking to Wu Mengda, Stephen Chow, and Zhang Aijia, during which his hands kept gesturing, and the expression on his face was also very serious and serious, and the three of them nodded frequently as they listened.
In the whole play, the most difficult thing to shoot is the ending, in addition to the tearful plot, filming the racing car was also a big difficulty in the Hong Kong film industry at that time.
So when Chow Yun-fat, Wan Hanfei, Jackie Chan and other seven or eight people stopped at the starting line on motorcycles, Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but repeatedly tell everyone to pay attention to safety.
"Remember, we are filming today, not playing with life!" Wang Xiaohu glanced at Jackie Chan when he said this, this sentence was mainly said to Jackie Chan, and he was very dissatisfied with Jackie Chan's desperate action when he made the final sprint. "When you start the car, you don't have to drive as fast as you just did, otherwise the camera won't be able to keep up with you, and everyone will lose their patience."
Everyone nodded, in fact, there is a big difference between shooting a racing car and a real racing car, the real racing car will make people move and excited, while shooting the racing car will make the racer feel extremely depressed, because, what Wang Xiaohu said just now is very clear: you have to let the camera keep up with the speed of the motorcycle.
That is to say, you may have to repeat an action at the starting point several times to satisfy the director, and a turning technique, you may have to stop as soon as you drive out of the shot, and then repeat it a few more times, so that on the one hand, you can shoot more images for the director to go back and choose the edit, find the most suitable film for the film style, and on the other hand, to avoid dangerous accidents.
From here, you can see how noble Wang Xiaohu's status is in everyone's hearts, and all the people on the set will absolutely obey Wang Xiaohu's orders, he held a loudspeaker and shouted "acttion!" A few motorcycles set off, just a few steps out, once Wang Xiaohu shouted "cut!" "They had to stop and go back to the starting point, tossing and turning all morning, and only completed a few pictures, which can be described as very fast!
Wang Xiaohu seems to be unhurried and impatient, slow work and meticulous work, Concord only shoots high-quality movies, which is what Concord has implemented since its establishment, and it is also the royal code that Concord can survive in Hong Kong and even the Hollywood film industry.
At noon, Uncle Qin drove his lunch box car to appear on time on the set, and Lao Qin saw that Wang Xiaohu was very kind, and still gave him a large piece of beef and a box lunch with gravy, which tasted sweet and delicious.
"It's been two years since I've eaten Uncle Qin's boxed lunch, and I really miss eating boxed lunches with everyone." Wang Xiaohu was holding a boxed lunch, and Chow Yun-fat, Wu Mengda, Zhang Aijia, Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan and others were sitting next to him, eating and sighing at the same time.
Among all the people present, the most stressed is not Chow Yun-fat and Zhang Aijia, nor Wu Mengda, who has changed his mind, but Stephen Chow who bows his head and picks up rice in his mouth. He wants to take the role of the precocious, sensible and innocent and naughty son in the play just right, it is not possible to eat the script thoroughly without making great efforts, plus he is currently taking care of the role of "Seven Little Blessings", fortunately, the scene on his side is almost finished, otherwise Wang Xiaohu would not have started the launching ceremony of "The Story of Ah Lang".
"Xingzai, eat slowly, if it's not enough, I still have it here!" Wang Xiaohu sandwiched the large piece of beef in the box, raised his hand and patted Stephen Chow's head and said, "Isn't it very hard?" ”
"It's okay, with Brother Fa accompanying me to brew feelings, I will be able to enter the drama soon." Stephen Chow said angrily with a rice urn in his mouth.
Before the start of the film, Wang Xiaohu said to Chow Yun-fat: "I want to know what Ah Lang was thinking when he fell on the edge of the guardrail after the final crash, and saw ** and Bo Tsai hurriedly dodging the car on the track and approaching his side?"
Chow Yun-fat frowned and thought for a while, and then tried to say: "Worried about the safety of their mother and son, I am happy in my heart, because ** is back." Repentance of the past, young and frivolous people will always make some mistakes that only time can prove to be wrong, and it is also an irreparable mistake nostalgia for life, a person with Bo Zai has lived hard for ten years, and finally looks forward to ** coming back, but he still feels comforted, he won the victory, he can get a bonus, and ** is also back, he can take care of Bo Zai, and he is also a kind of apology"
Chow Yun-fat said it several times, but after all, he couldn't express it clearly in words, and finally he was in a hurry to perform directly, and a complex look with worry, nostalgia, relief, and joy flowed out of Chow Yun-fat's eyes, accompanied by a slightly tired expression, and the corners of his mouth were upturned.
"Ok, that's it!" Wang Xiaohu clapped his hands and said, "Remember the emotions you brewed at this moment, hurry up and prepare to go." ”
The god of acting is the god of acting, just using one look and one action, Wang Xiaohu admires it, this is the biggest difference between innate acting skills and acquired acting skills
After a busy day, Wang Xiaohu took a taxi home with his tired body, and as soon as he entered the house, he smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, and Wang Xiaohu knew that his mother-in-law had come to take care of his wife again.
Sure enough, I saw Zhao's mother, who was wearing an apron, holding a bowl of soup that I didn't know what to make, and cautiously came out of the kitchen. ”
"Hmm." Wang Xiaohu handed over the clothes to Aunt Xiang, and then went up to take the soup from Zhao's mother's hand, "Mom, just let me do these things, it's very wrong to trouble you." ”
"Oh, it's all a family, you just came back from work, let's sit on the sofa and rest first."
Now Wang Xiaohu is also worth hundreds of millions of people, he is busy with his career outside every day, and he will definitely be a little powerless for the family, Zhao's mother is also a sensible person, and she knows that she can't drag her aunt back at this critical moment, since her daughter is pregnant, she comes over to cook every day, and she can't help but make fetal soup for her daughter every day.
Zhao Yazhi listened to the voice, came out of the bedroom lazily, after pregnancy, she was very sleepy, always felt that she did not sleep enough, and the amount of food also increased surprisingly, after coming to the living room, she took the fetal soup handed over by her mother, frowned and drank half a bowl, and finally pushed the soup in front of Wang Xiaohu and said: "I can't drink it, you can deal with it." ”
"Hehe, how can it be, for the sake of the baby in the belly, you have to endure it no matter how bad it is." Wang Xiaohu smiled and shook his head, picked up the soup bowl, and fed Zhao Yazhi a small spoonful, after pregnancy, Zhao Yazhi occasionally played a little temper, according to Zhao's mother's experience, every pregnant woman will go through such a process, and she will be fine after a while.
Wang Xiaohu knows that there is another term that can explain his wife's current situation: prenatal depression, speaking of which, he has been working hard for the past six months to enter the mainland, and many times he naturally neglects his wife, and he should be responsible for his wife's current symptoms.
So every time Zhao Yazhi behaves a little impatient, or makes a little surname and coquettish, Wang Xiaohu will guide her very gently, so that she can maintain a good mood.
"Ah Zhi, I'll accompany you to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow." After feeding the fetal soup, Wang Xiaohu suggested with a smile.
"Don't you have to film tomorrow?" Zhao Yazhi leaned lazily on the sofa and asked with a wink.
"The drama has to be filmed, but it's not as important as my wife and son!"
"Hehe, how do you know it's a son!" Wang Xiaohu's words made Zhao Yazhi feel very good, and she suddenly came to her senses, took Wang Xiaohu's hand and said, "Maybe it's a daughter!" ”
"According to my feelings, it should be a son!" Wang Xiaohu said with certainty.
"Why?"
"Male left, female right!" Wang Xiaohu smiled and whispered a few words in Zhao Yazhi's ear, Zhao Yazhi's face turned red, and he picked up his little fist and beat his chest and said, "Mom is here, you are not ashamed." ”
