"Have you finished reading it, I wonder if Mr. Zhao has noticed that there is a scene in my script that is very vague?"

Half an hour later, seeing Zhao Xiaoding put down the script happily, he asked slowly.

Zhao Xiaoding was stunned for a moment, and realized that this was going to test him. didn't panic, recalled slightly, and said tentatively: "Is it the place where the child's mother was hit and killed by a car?" ”

"Exactly."

Happy put down the teacup and said, "Although it is difficult for some strong people, if you were asked to design this shot, how would you deal with it?" ”

Zhao Xiaoding pondered for a while, then opened the script and looked at it carefully, and then said: "The spinning top in the child's hand can be used, and when it is crowded, the spinning top falls to the ground and spins." Because it is a station, it is best to add some onlookers on the periphery, and the camera shuttles through the crowded crowd. Perspectives can be directed to the child......"

He paused, waved his hand, and said with a wry smile: "No, I can only think of so much." ”

Happy smile: "It's already very unexpected, Mr. Zhao's professional skills are admirable, and some of his ideas coincide with mine." ”

Although Zhao Xiaoding is modest in his mouth, he is actually quite arrogant in his heart. Listening to the happy talk, he always likes to cover up half a sentence, and he knows that he already has a more complete scene in his heart, and his curiosity was suddenly hung up, and he said: "Then Mr. Kai, how did you design it?" ”

"Me?" Happy smiled slightly, not pretentious, and discussed with him, "Across the iron railing, it was a sunny day outside, and wisps of golden sunlight passed through the steel columns of the iron railing. This is a child's point of view, and the mother told him to sit on the station bench and leave on his own. His eyes followed his mother's back, his eyes full of uneasiness about the strange place. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the noisy bus station was silent for a few seconds, and everyone looked outside the station. The child was still in a daze, and there was a commotion outside, and the sound of discussion gradually came to his ears, and he gradually realized that something was wrong. Then he hesitated to walk over and call his mother, but the crowd of onlookers blocked his way...... The ambulance came, and the mother was carried away. From beginning to end, the camera will not photograph the body of the mother in a pool of blood, at most there is only a pool of blood left. ”

Zhao Xiaoding was a little moved, he really thought it was simple, but he didn't expect a short shot to be arranged by him so content.

Knowing someone, you don't need to be tempted many times, Happy has already fallen in love with him, and went straight to the topic and invited: "Mr. Zhao, I don't know if I would like to join this movie and work as a photographer." ”

"I'm very interested, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Harvested a general, happy and happy, stood up and shook hands with him, "Don't call me anything, just call me by my name, and I will also call you Brother Zhao." Now we are partners in the same trench, and I hope to have a happy cooperation in the future. ”

"Happy working together!" The two hit it off.

It's almost September, and it's the end of the year in a few months, so you have to take advantage of this time to finish filming. His original plan was to finish the film "Central Station" as much as possible, and then try to catch up with next year's "Berlin Film Festival"!

The film was originally moved to Brazil by a Brazilian director, and now he is moving to China, and many places have also made changes. Otherwise, even if the shooting is exactly the same, he is not sure that he will still succeed.

According to the Chaos Principle: the future cannot be determined, and if you are sure one day, you have bumped into it. Second, the development of things is achieved through a self-similar order. When you see a cloud, you know that he is a cloud, and when you see a mountain, you know that it is a mountain. It's self-alikeness. The same thing moving from South America to Asia, can it be the same?

can only do their best, the future is illusory, but let the happiness sink down.

"One step at a time, down-to-earth!"

He told himself in his heart and began to move on to the next step.

With Zhao Xiaoding, a photographer who had already started work, the two of them carried cameras on their backs and began to visit bus stations and railway stations across the country to find suitable scenes for shooting. This is a job that every director must do in person, and it is time to travel.

After working for half a month, I finally found a suitable location in the ancient city of Nan-Beijing:

On the streets of Nanjing, if you ask any citizen, you may not know about "Zifeng" or "Deji", but there is no one who does not know about the central gate bus station. Some people say that almost every citizen of Nanjing-Beijing has "departed or arrived" at this station, while others say that this station may have transported all the people of the "global village...... The people of travel, the endless shuttle of cars, this is the epitome of that era. In a few years, this old station will disappear into the torrent of history, but at this moment, I am glad that I have found the right place.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and now the next problem in front of Happy is the choice of the main actors.

Why did the actor choose this item and put him last, because this job is very important to him, but it is also very easy, and he has a suitable candidate in his heart early on.

"Knock knock..."

"Come in."

"Boss, someone came to the interview with your business card, saying that it was an opportunity you gave ......" Bai Xiaoya knocked on the door of the happy office.

said with a happy smile: "Say Cao Cao Cao is here, you give him the character script of the protagonist's brother first, and I'll take a look later." ”

The person who came was Liu Ye, who claimed to be the tenth leaf of the mouth. At the beginning, he didn't know Taishan, and he was brutally abused in basketball, ten ball games, one ball and one round of ball changes, he actually didn't score a goal, it was a shame, so that he no longer dared to call himself a basketball master in the department. Happy left him a business card for him to audition, but he couldn't step over this hurdle, "I don't have a face to see people." ”

Even today, I suddenly heard that there was a movie auditioning young actors, so I remembered this stubble. Many classmates in the same class have already filmed, and Zhang Ziyi even got into the big director Zhang Yimou to act in a movie. As an acting student, he was naturally very greedy, and took advantage of this opportunity to finally make up his mind to come over.

At this time, when I saw happiness, I still seemed a little cramped: "Open... It's always good to open. ”

"You're welcome, just ask me to enlighten, or just open my brother." Happy looked gentle, "Sit." ”

"I'll go, it's even more unkind, okay." Liu Ye muttered in his heart, but his body sat down honestly.

"I've read the character script~~" I was happy and busy, and I didn't have the heart to attack the 96th class of Chinese opera, so I went straight to the point and said: "Let's start directly." This is a supporting role, there are not many scenes, but it plays a great role in the ending of the film, you need a young actor with certain acting skills and a simple image, are you willing to play. ”

Liu Ye has just finished reading the script, it is true that there are not many, but he is the brother who plays the protagonist. In fact, as long as he didn't ask him to make an A-movie, he didn't want anything, so he nodded and said, "Yes, yes." But Brother Kai, I'm still studying, and I may not be able to take too long a vacation. ”

"That's okay, it'll be done in a few days. Did you bring your ID card, you signed the contract, and the salary ...... Well, is 1500 okay? ”

"No problem, as long as there is a show." Although it was a little less, he didn't have room for bargaining.

"Okay, then you leave your contact information. You can take the character script back to study and study, and pay attention to the principle of confidentiality. In about a month, it will be your turn, and you will be notified at that time. ”

"Okay......" Liu Ye was still a little puzzled, "Then, is this the end, no need to audition?" ”

Happy laughter: "Silly you, this is an audition, do you want me to test your acting skills again and perform on the spot?" Even if you want to show off, I don't have that American time to play with you, and I'm going to go out. Okay, you are a high-achieving student in a middle school, you have no problem coping with this scene, and you have a little confidence in yourself...... Do you still want to act? ”

"No, no, it's good, it's good." Liu Ye wanted to slap his face, his grades in the class were not very good, at least he couldn't compare with Yuan Quan, who won the scholarship for three good students every year. After that, you get it, and you are asking for trouble.

Happy and tsk, look at his stupid face, how can he have the demeanor of the president of Huohua Society, who claims to be handsome on the earth and dares to compare his appearance with Liu Nuo.

Bai Xiaoya led him to draw up the contract, and happily suddenly remembered something, "Wait, Liu Ye, you have an old man in the play...... Do you know who the old man with white hair, a chin and a funny white beard, who laughs like Maitreya Buddha? ”

Liu Yeyi stepped forward and said: "That's the living Bodhisattva of our Chinese opera, Professor Mao, who is still taking the director class, I heard that many people were brought out by him." ”

"Oh~~ That's it, that's fine, you guys go."
