This day, because of the inadvertent "looking back", changed Feng Xiaogang's life and became one of the most memorable days in Feng Xiaogang's life.

A few years later, when he climbed to the top of the showbiz pyramid, as one of the most famous directors in China, he looked at the entire entertainment industry, and he never forgot that day.

As he wrote in his memoirs:

It was an ordinary day, the first sunny day after the snow.

I learned from a friend that there was another crew in Hong Kong, saying that it was working with Yenching Film Studio to make a movie. It is said that the origin is not small, that director has made many acclaimed and popular movies, and has just won the Oscars in the United States, winning glory for the Chinese.

I didn't care at the time. It's not that I despise each other, but I don't think it has anything to do with me. As you know, I was an artist at the Yenching Television Art Center.

preferences, rather than according to the arrangement of superiors.

Ge Wei is going for the role, as for me, of course I am an artist. As you know, the salary at that time was not high, and the salary offered by the Hong Kong crew was as high as my one year.

We found director Zheng Huili, who is the old director of Yanying, and asked for his introduction to Tong Guò, and got on the side of the Hong Kong crew, whether Ge Wei and I could join the crew.

When I went to the guest house, Ge Wei was quite worried about his image, and I was better. Thinking that they are coming from Hong Kong, they must need a lot of staff. Maybe there will be a shortage of people on the art side. Besides, Director Zheng introduced, I'm looking for an art job. It shouldn't be difficult, right?

At that time, we thought things too simply, but I didn't expect Director Zheng to know people at all, we didn't recognize the main owner when we passed by others, or people stopped us, otherwise we would have missed the opportunity.

As you know, it was on that occasion that I first met Chen Ping'an. He was younger than I could have imagined. In China, at his age, he should be doing chores in the crew. No one will give him the opportunity to film...... I guess I have to be after the age of thirty.

At that time, his shelf was very large, and he was actually protected by guards, and even had to check our work card. I soon found out that he was very interested in me and Ge Wei, and I thought that I would be able to become an artist, but after he asked me some questions about the film, he actually offered to invite me to be his assistant, that is, the assistant director.

My first thought at that time was: the salary of an assistant director is much higher than that of an artist!

Since I'm not Yanying's person. So I made him an assistant director, which is considered a job from the outside, and the part that exceeds the salary standard does not need to be handed over. Other words. It's all mine.

Later, I thought I was stupid, and I didn't realize that it was my chance to get a high salary. Until the time of filming. He asked me if I would like to be a director and make movies myself in the future. It was the first time I had seriously thought about my life.

……

He changed my life, no matter who asked me. I'll admit it all. Afterwards, I asked him why he chose me as an assistant director. At that time, Yan Ying recommended several assistant directors to him, all of whom were older than me. And I'm a newcomer, except for being an art assistant to Director Zheng in 83, I haven't been in contact with film.

He didn't know me, so how could he think of asking me to be an assistant director?

You will never think of his answer. He just smiled and told me that I would understand in the future.

Now I do understand, just like many media reports in Hong Kong and Taiwan - God gives eyes, but under the government at that time, he couldn't say this.

If I want to work with anyone now, there is no doubt that there is only one person, and that is him, Chen Ping'an, even if he is an assistant director again. It's a pity that he retired and took his family to travel the world.

Doesn't retiring in your forties sound like a joke? But he retreated very calmly and freely, just like the saying that has been circulating in society recently, my brother is not in the rivers and lakes, and there are legends of my brother everywhere in the rivers and lakes.

I'm looking forward to working with him if I get the chance, even if he's too busy to have time, even if it's a cameo role in my film.

Finally, I wish him and his girlfriends happiness and happiness forever.

The choice of assistant director Chen Ping'an was solved...... Feng Xiaogang.

Yan Ying's leader was a little unhappy, because Feng Xiaogang was not Yan Ying's person. However, Chen Ping'an's decision could not be changed, and they could not even express complaints. Even if "Home Alone" is a co-production between Dark Horse International Film Company and Yanying, this is a political task issued by the superiors, and Chen Ping'an must cooperate with unconditional power.

After the assistant director was selected, Feng Xiaogang quickly entered the role, went to the guest house many times to discuss work with Chen Ping'an, and later simply moved to the guest house.

Compared with the selection of assistant directors, the casting of actors is the top priority, especially the soul of this play.

Children's scenes are the most difficult to film, and from the beginning of the audition, it is difficult.

In this regard, Yan Ying spent a lot of effort to cooperate, auditioned, and wanted to ask for help from various brother units to see if there were suitable children to recommend.

The news that the crew of "Home Alone" interviewed the actor and the salary was very high has long been spread, and parents accompany their children to the interview, and there is an endless stream every day. There are also a lot of recommendations from brother units, Fang Chao in "Wrangler", Lu Yi in "Spring Dingdong", and Zhang Jing in "Thunderbolt Baby...... Many young actors who are suitable for all ages have been recommended.

Chen Ping'an interviewed for two days, but he was not satisfied. It's not that these little actors are bad, it's that they can't meet his requirements. He wanted the kind of child who was very spiritual at first sight. The protagonist in "Home Alone" is a "powerful" character who teases two stupid thieves alone!

Another day of interview work was completed, Chen Ping'an's activist's stiff body, and the faces of children were in his mind, but he couldn't find anything particularly satisfying.

"Director Chen, in fact, I think that Zhang Jing is quite suitable. He starred in "Thunderbolt Baby", which is very popular with children. Feng Xiaogang said.

"This movie will be liked by many children, but it doesn't mean that this movie is not a children's movie." Chen Ping'an looked at Feng Xiaogang very seriously, "As a director, after receiving the script, the first thing to do is to be familiar with the script, as well as the characters in the script. Build a vague image of the character in your mind, look for actors based on this image, and strive to make your chosen actor match the image in your mind.

The script is dead, but each director, with his own style, will give the script a different life and put his own brand. The director is like a marshal, the actor is like a general and a soldier charging into battle, whether the audience accepts it or not, how it accepts it, and how Cheng dù is accepted is very much related to their performance. Therefore, the casting work must be done with caution and sloppiness. ”

"I'm sorry Director Chen, I remembered." Feng Xiaogang said this, but he had another thought in his heart: What does this have to do with me? Why are you telling me so much?

He Chaoqiong is responsible for the casting of other characters, such as the parents of the little protagonist, important neighbors, etc. The audition work for these roles is all in charge of Yanying's staff and He Chaoqiong.

Of course, He Chaoqiong and they have no right to decide, they just eliminate unsuitable interviewers, select some candidates, and finally Chen Ping'an will re-test the decision.

Seeing He Chaoqiong, Chen Ping'an asked, "How is the situation over there?" ”

He Chaoqiong looked at Feng Xiaogang and didn't say anything. The latter was very interesting, and after returning to the guest house, he casually made an excuse and left.

After Chen Ping'an and He Chaoqiong were left in the room, He Chaoqiong took off her heavy coat and complained: "I really don't know why you came here to film, it's so cold!" ”

"Didn't you say you hadn't seen snow in a long time when you first arrived?"

"That's just here, it's so cold every day, who can stand it. You see, my hands are frozen red. ”

Chen Ping'an smiled, pulled her into his arms, and held her cold little hand: "Is it warmer now?" ”。

"Are you taking advantage of me?"

"Isn't that what you want?".

"Believe it or not, I shouted? I found that the mainland is very strict in this regard, and if I shout hooliganism, do you think you will be shot? ”

"Then you shout one and try it."

"You think I wouldn't dare?" He Chaoqiong looked at Chen Ping'an angrily, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was blocked by Chen Ping'an's mouth, and his tongue naturally stuck in.

"Hmm......"

After two symbolic struggles, He Chaoqiong turned around and hugged Chen Ping'an, and the two hugged and kissed each other tightly.

Since He Chaoqiong came uninvited and became the assistant director of "Home Alone", she and Chen Ping'an have resumed their previous relationship, teasing each other, they can kiss, touch, and hug, but they can't take the last step, unless he agrees to marry him.

Once after Wen Cun, Chen Ping'an jokingly said that this is a war, a war between him and He Chaoqiong, and it is very dangerous. No matter whether the war is won or lost, you will not suffer. He Chaoqiong said with great confidence that he would definitely be the final winner, so it was worth paying a little price.

As for the division of victory and defeat in the war, there are two ways. First, Chen Ping'an couldn't stand it psychologically and agreed to marry He Chaoqiong; First, Chen Ping'an couldn't stand it physically, and took the initiative to have a relationship with He Chaoqiong, which must also end in marriage.

He Chaoqiong is very confident. As a woman, in the process of living with Chen Ping'an, she can feel that Chen Ping'an is reluctant to herself, whether it is psychological or physical, so she firmly believes that Chen Ping'an will not let herself marry Xu Jinheng!

"Whew-hate it, get your hands out!" He Chaoqiong pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

After kneading He Chaoqiong's crisp chest a few times, Chen Ping'an withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "I have to keep it warm several times a day, are the pants enough to change?" Can you fall asleep at night? ”。

"Indecent!" He Chaoqiong reacted quickly, "I want you to take care of it!" As he spoke, he pushed down and felt the hard object under his buttocks, "What about you?" How do you sleep at night? ”

"Okay, let's get down to business, how's your progress going over there?"

"It's a bit of a hassle." (To be continued......) R1071
