Chapter Twenty-Three: Lucky Meeting
Chen Daoming drove for a day, and only came to the crew when he was about to finish work, and he was happy to wait for others to greet him from afar.
"After a day's journey, are you tired, take a break." Siqin Gaowa greeted her old friend like an old friend.
Chen Daoming and her are old buddies who have collaborated on many dramas, and the first work of the "Dynasty Series" "Kangxi Dynasty" that CCTV is preparing to film, it is no surprise that these two will work together again.
Where did there be so much politeness among old friends, Chen Daoming also opened his mouth to be poor: "Your old lady shouts, who dares not to come." I just came here at this time, I didn't delay things, and I didn't touch it for most of the day in the county. ”
happily pretended to be full of faces, stepped forward and hugged his fists and greeted: "Teacher Chen, I have admired my name for a long time, and I am like thunder; It's a blessing to see you today......"
"Stop first~~"
Chen Daoming took a sip of a cup of iced tea, spit out a stomach full of hot air, and suddenly heard such a sentence, almost not squirting out again. Turning his head to look at Siqin Gaowa, he asked, "Forgive me for being clumsy, who is this?" ”
Siqin Gaowa knew that being happy sometimes likes to be funny, so she slapped him and reprimanded him protectively: "Serious!" ”
Happy immediately put away his posture and licked his face and laughed.
Chen Daoming looked at the old lady and the young man funny, wondering what their relationship was.
Siqin Gaowa then introduced: "You know the name, this is the director of the movie, Mr. Happy." ”
Chen Daoming was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the director to be such a young man, how did this old lady fall in love with this play? But he didn't show any color on his face, and said, "Yo, I don't know Jingshan Jade with eyes." Open the director, fortunately will be lucky. Happy, this name is good, it must have been given by the older generation: I hope that the future generations will be happy and carefree for a lifetime. ”
Happy didn't dare to take it seriously, hurriedly stepped aside, became modest, and said with a smile: "Teacher Chen, don't bother people, I just made a little joke with you." It's a great honor to have you here, and I'm sorry to have you by car. ”
"It's okay, follow this old lady, you can't go wrong." Chen Daoming doesn't have the frame of a big name at all, and his speech is also calm and interesting, and a few people get acquainted without saying a few words, but when they are happy, they can feel that Chen Daoming's smile is mostly perfunctory, which can only be regarded as socializing.
He can drive dozens of kilometers to this poor and remote place without reading the script or asking the role, which is completely Chong Siqin Gaowa's face, and has nothing to do with him at all. And a people's artist like Chen Daoming sometimes can't be hired just for a salary. People usually don't show off at all, but the value is already there, and filming a movie casually is a lot of money, and there is no shortage of money at all.
Compared with those little stars in later generations, they just had a little fame and hugged each other to talk about pomp, and they didn't know how many realms higher.
Happy didn't dare to delay him too much time, and went to prepare for this scene immediately while the sun had not yet set.
Siqin Gaowa took Chen Daoming aside, then took out the script and handed it to Chen Daoming, "This is your play, play against me and Xiaokang." ”
"Xiaokang is the hero of the movie...... Come here. ”
The little boy was still full of energy after a day of filming, and he ran around as soon as he rested. When he heard the call, he immediately ran over. is not afraid of life, under the introduction of Siqin Gaowa, he greeted Chen Daoming.
After chatting a few words, Chen Daoming roughly figured out that children are the leading actors in movies, road movie themes, full of literary and artistic atmosphere, but this form is rare in China. ”
He opened the script with his hand, read a few pages, and his face suddenly became surprised, "Why is it still a storyboard script?" ”
"yes." Siqin Gaowa nodded and said, "This book is very well written, don't look at people's young age, but they are solid graduates of the directing department of USC." There are real talents and real learners, as well as ideas and momentum. ”
Chen Daoming nodded and said: "The storyboard script is very well drawn, neat, detailed, and organized... Just rushing to this script, I can probably guess why you took this play. But what's your relationship with this young man? ”
"It doesn't matter, people found my house, so they said that they were moved by me."
"Oh...... Very good. ”
The two old partners met and chatted endlessly, and the happy side was almost ready, came over to say hello, and said, "Teacher Chen, do you understand the script?" Okay, let the makeup artist give you a picture first, and you're ready to shoot? ”
"No problem, always ready."
……
Chen Daoming played the role of a truck driver, and when he met two people who didn't follow the bus on the road, he kindly took a break.
Under the childish advice of Tiantian, Ah Duo put on lipstick and found himself. And at this moment, the appearance of the handsome uncle driver made her find her love during the journey.
Every day played by Xiaokang, the little adults generally talk about mature topics, which is very cute. Under his gag, Ah Duo also seemed to look at the driver. She was not born so lonely and selfish, she also prayed for communication and friends, and if there was love at this age, it would be unimaginably beautiful.
If it was before, Ah Duo would never have thought about it at all, but the appearance of Xiaokang gradually opened a gap in her heart.
The boy is looking for his father, the woman is looking for her belonging, and the country is looking for its future.
When a boy looks for his father, he is also looking for a dream; The old woman is looking for a home, that is, for a lost feeling; And the people of this country are gradually moving out of poverty and becoming rich and powerful.
After a few shots, it was completely dark.
"Let's put the meal first, everyone will work hard, grit your teeth and pass." Happy shouted to the sleepy crew. He knew that this kind of shouting would not have much effect, and even he would die of sleepiness, let alone others. frowned and said, "Lao Zhang, record it, tonight's overtime pay has tripled." ”
"Triple times?!" A group of half-dead crew employees came to life instantly when they heard this word, and turned their heads to look at the director one by one.
Zhang Zhengwu frowned, "Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say." ”
Happy himself also held the lunch box, and walked to Chen Daoming's side apologetically, "Teacher Chen, I'm sorry." I just invited you here to shoot such a difficult night scene. ”
Chen Daoming smiled and took a bite of food, sat on the ground and said, "Don't worry about us, everyone is the same." It's the little actor you found from, it's quite spiritual. ”
smiled happily and said: "Fortunately, after looking for a long time, I jumped out by myself, and it can be regarded as a true performance." ”
After dinner, switch to night scenes.
On the side of the deserted road, a bonfire was lit.
Chen Daoming, who is in the shape of an uncle, talks well and chats with Siqin Gaowa, an intellectual who often writes letters, and chats by the fire, and Xiaokang keeps calling in the carriage, but the two have forgotten about their surroundings, they talk energetically, and even have a feeling of reluctance to leave.
"Cut, good."
The happy loudspeaker was particularly loud at night, shouting: "Teacher Chen, Aunt Siqin Gaowa, you two stay in a state and don't move, continue to say something casually, and make a warm chat, I still need to make up a long shot here." ”
"Everyone cheer up, and the last shot must be repeated, and don't drop the chain." happily patrolled the whole audience loudly, like a king inspecting his territory, and said, "Brother Zhao, step back twenty meters and give me a long shot." The mood is a little sober, you know what I mean. It's up to you, this is the last shot of the day. ”
The movie has already filmed this scene, and it is nearing the end, and according to the audience's perspective, the movie has less than twenty minutes left in the plot.
For the crew who are tired all day, the last shot means the end of work, there is no better news than this, and they all concentrate on it.
"No problem, I'll have no problem running ten kilometers with the machine." Zhao Xiaoding made an 'ok' gesture and immediately instructed the camera assistant to bring the box and retreat.
The machine rolls, and the lens is a dark night sky, and the only light source is the campfire.
Gradually, the bonfire was extinguished. The slightly parked truck is on the road again, and the taillights along the way also seem to indicate the end of this budding love.
The truck driver finally left, and Ah Duo couldn't help but cry at the truck at the intersection. Although this budding unrequited love has no result, it has finally returned to its true self, or its original self, without a disguised self.
