Chapter 19: Present Continuous Tense

"Stop~!"

Not long after the camera was turned on, Happy was forced to call the first timeout, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

He's the director, he's the boss, he's the soul of the crew, but he's also a newcomer. If his control ability is insufficient, people can see that he is just an embroidered pillow who is used to running trains on his mouth, then the shooting order that he has worked hard to build before will also have various entanglements in an instant.

Siqin Gaowa also looked at the little director who was walking towards him, and his face was puzzled, "Director, what's wrong?" When she was working in the crew, she was very protective of the face of the little director, and never called Xiao Xiaokai this nickname.

Happy and pleasant said: "It's not quite right Auntie, your smile is too kind." The expression was very serious.

"Kindness?" Siqin Gaowa habitually pushed her glasses.

She already has the habit of wearing glasses, and it just so happens that the role in the movie is the same, and there is no sense of disobedience in acting. Although he is usually very kind, after acting in dramas for so many years, he will always have his own set of understanding, shaking his head and saying, "I don't understand very well." This is a profession that helps people write letters, so you can't be cold to customers. ”

"Auntie, do you want to hear me tell a story?" Happily and patiently explained.

"You say, I'll listen."

Other staff members either casually stay at their posts, or look at the director with their eyes hooked, some are respectful and disdainful on the surface, some are purely thoughtless about work, and some are purely lively, all watching how he plays.

Happy but unaware, he said to himself: "You know that we who learn to make movies have an observation class, and we are required to observe interesting pedestrians in the downtown area, and then write a lot of my own imaginary observation diaries, and I also have the habit of observing people...... It was a summer two years ago, and I was still studying, and I went to Las Vegas with my classmates during the summer vacation. Once, when we were waiting in the lobby outside the casino, a woman came out of the door, about fifty years old, with a skinny frame but wearing a bewitching red, with a cigarette in her hand, and walked in front of us as if no one was around, looking old and ugly, and her face was very thick. At my age, I went to Las Vegas, and I should have seen beautiful women with hot bodies. But it's just such a person, but there is an indescribable attraction all over his body, like a story that came out of a movie. I kept staring at her back until she disappeared into the hallway. ”

Later, we met her again in the bar next door, this time with an equally old and ugly man. She sat there, not saying a word, just smoking vigorously, and the man was also an old prodigal. I'm a filmmaker, so I'm curious about this woman. I would love to know what the story behind such a woman would be to have that kind of look. My classmates noticed her and said to me, 'Look at that woman over there, she must be an old prostitute who hasn't had a male partner all year round.' ’”

"Although the name of the character you play is Ah Duo, what kind of real image is behind her? I don't know, and I haven't made it up. But I guess her past must not be good, otherwise she would not be wearing very modest clothes now, setting up a stall here to write letters. ”

Siqin Gaowa pondered, "You go on, this character was born from your inspiration?" ”

"Yes and no."

The happy answer was ambiguous, "In my conception, when I first saw Ah Duo in the waiting hall, she was sitting behind a desk writing letters for others, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose, pretending to show herself a kind appearance, in order to deceive the trust of passers-by, so as to take advantage of the hope of others and exchange a little money for her life." ”

"This is a real society, and I don't want to whitewash the peace and give people false hope, nor do I pretend to be affectionate. Because, no matter how much people have dreams, they still have to face their real life in the end. ”

"Ah Duo's customers are illiterate people living at the bottom of society, who have no insight into the occasional trace of cunning in her eyes, or tell her all kinds of longings in front of her with sadness or happiness...... You see what their eyes should look like, there can be a lot, but definitely not kindness. She is a liar, she can mail any letter she wants, she has no ** concept, she likes to open other people's letters to make fun of her. You know what I mean? ”

"All you need is a look with a false expression, no need to smile."

"She sits there, carrying her past, and my film is about her future."

Siqin Gaowa was a little stunned by his tirade, this kid was so good at talking, but he gave her a problem. She has been acting for so many years, and it is the first time she has encountered such a difficult little guy.

Eyes...

Past...

Real life..."

She thought silently, and just sat there without moving. Happy didn't speak again, and the whole crew waited for her quietly. Liu Ye has been with her for a day, and he already has a good relationship, he knows that this is real acting, not those homework in school. His lips were dry with excitement, but his eyes were staring straight into the field.

Ban Siqin Gaowa looked up at Happy and said calmly, "Let's try again." ”

Happy and excited, but he couldn't express it, he also wanted to be shocked to see what it was like.

β€œAction!”

Restart shooting, as always, the language of the lens. Behind it is a vague figure shuttling non-stop, and there is only a little silence in the noise, which falls in front of the small desk on this side. This can be achieved by zooming, but knowing when it is best to change the focal length is not too much.

As the photographer of this film, Zhao Xiaoding, although he has only been involved in film shooting for a short time, has now shown the lens sense of a top photographer. Cinematographers are mostly silent in the crew, and they are used to speaking with the lens, which is also the so-called lens language.

A good photographer can usually see the photographer's intention through the picture captured by the camera, because from the subject matter and the change of the picture, he can feel what the photographer wants to express through the lens - "my lens can speak".

A good shot can read a lot of artistic conceptions, which requires the director and the photographer to communicate and work hard.

"Ye Su, I really hate that I have met you in my life, and I wrote a letter to you, it was your son who made trouble with him all day long." Lina's actor is also the mother of Xiaokang, who plays the role every day, and the traces of the hard work of migrant workers are written on their faces, and they don't bother the two masters, and they feel happy that this mother and son are very suitable for these two roles, and they can also make Xiaokang relax from the beginning...... Isn't it interesting to also play a mother and son in the movie?

There are not many shots of this role, at first she didn't want to appear in the camera, a small worker carrying ash buckets in the construction site followed the movie, no matter how you look at it, it is two worlds.

Happy offered her a salary of 1,000 yuan, and she thought about it carefully for three minutes, and then agreed nervously.

Now it seems that it is completely a true performance, reading the lines with a sluggish face, and the expression on his face is full of truth, which is exactly what happiness needs. Especially Xiaokang also cooperated with a naughty smile next to him, and the camera was aimed at him, as if to say: That's right, I asked my mother to do this.

Lina also gradually relaxed, with a smile on her expression, looking like shy, but also longing: "I said you are irresponsible, but the child still wants to see you, he wants to find a chance to meet you." He wants to come and stay with you for a while......"

"How many days?"

Siqin Gaowa suddenly raised her head, and her eyes, which were no longer pretty, inadvertently revealed indifference and disgust, "It seems to be a troublesome job." ”

Seeing this look, the happy person behind the monitor clenched his fists with excitement, worthy of being a people's artist, "Great." Liu Ye, who was stealing the teacher on the side, saw that he could take the Oscar statuette when he saw his overreaction, and he was scolded, "Is it necessary to be so excited." ”

"Yes, I can send him to you, and I can also meet Kaikai and Ye Ye...... Actually, big sister, I actually wanted that guy to come here to find me, but I don't know what to say. You say more than I do, how do you say I can get him over. Lina continued her lines, with the shyness and embarrassment characteristic of rural women. After speaking, it was a longing expectation.

Siqin Gaowa's face was numb, as if she was a person who was careful about recording, but there was impatience in her eyes. She was a little irritated by the mischievous Tiantian's non-stop tapping on her table with a spinning top, and grabbed it and put it aside to stop Tiantian, "How do I know how to get him over!" ”

"I beg you to help me......"

"I think you'd better figure out what to say, come and write to me again."

Lina still looked longing, "To be honest, I still miss him very much." ”

"Okay. You want to write a little bit in writing, like a love letter in a movie. ”

Siqin Gaowa grabbed a piece of manuscript paper casually, wrote quickly and perfunctorily, and read as she wrote: "Ye Su, in fact, I really miss you very much, I hope you will sit next to me when you get up in the morning, but I hope that our relationship will never change." I hope we can grow old...... I'm going to you soon, love you...... I don't know what your name is......"

"Ana? Okay, Ana. Well, so be it. Need me to send you a letter? ”

"Bang Bang~~"

Tian Tian is just a child, where can he sit still. He grabbed his spinning top and pounded it on the table.

Siqin Gaowa grabbed it again and threw it directly to the ground.

The child immediately looked at her with indifferent eyes, and the disgust and distrust in it did not need to be played at all.

"Two dollars, only writing a letter and not being responsible for sending a letter is one dollar, a total of two dollars."

Lina paid for it, and Tian Tian had already picked up her spinning top...... Happy behind the monitor was both excited and nervous, "Okay, it's time for you to say your lines, Xiaokang, don't drop the chain." ”

Fortunately, although Xiaokang was a little naughty, he still remembered the advice of the director's uncle who bought him candy and very expensive ice cream, and said the line in time and asked: "Mom, how do you know that he will send the letter, I saw that she didn't put the letter in the envelope at all." ”

Siqin Gaowa suddenly paused, raised his head, and looked at the two of them with a weak gaze from behind his glasses. Fortunately, Lina reprimanded the child, saying, "It's rude, she did us a great favor." ”

"Goodbye next."

"Stop!"

I couldn't help but shout hello, "Okay~"

Siqin Gaowa had a relieved smile on her face, "This job is really not easy." ”

"Auntie, you have worked hard, keep up the good work." Happy patting the.

"Uncle, am I doing a good job?" When Xiaokang heard the praise, he also ran over to show off, but instinctively didn't look at Siqin Gaowa on the side. Although it was acting, he didn't forget the scene where he was thrown away the spinning top just now. Siqin Gaowa could only smile bitterly at this reaction of the children, thinking about it now, it is estimated that this is the effect when he was happy not to let them communicate in advance.

Happy will naturally not be stingy with the children, and praised: "The acting is very natural, but you can't be proud, tell Uncle SΓΉ to send you whatever you want to eat today, this is a special meal for you by the crew." ”

"I want to eat roast duck...... Can I only eat alone, I want to eat with my mother? ”

"Hehe, you're still a filial son." Happy compliment: "No problem, I think you can't eat a whole roast duck alone." In order to make the child not suspect that he was also like Ah Duo who only wrote letters and did not send letters in the play, he happily called Liu Ye in front of him, "Who, go buy a roast duck before lunch at noon." ”

"I'll go~ You're really welcome to call people." Liu Ye pursed his lips and muttered. "Director, this is a raise, you see how much work I have done."

"Less nonsense, reward you with a dollar for running expenses, go quickly." Happy lifted his leg and kicked the guy away with his ass. The supporting actor is depressed, but who cares, the actor is happy.

The child is very sensitive, and the special treatment of happiness also made him realize that he was very important, but he could also be polite, and shouted to Liu Ye: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Liu Ye, who was still dissatisfied just now, immediately soothed in the face of the child's smile, "No thanks, Xiaokang, act well, everyone is looking at you." ”

"Hmm."
