Chapter 15 Playing tricks in "Xiao Wu".
In fact, the name of "Xiao Wu" at the beginning was very long - "Jin Xiaoyong's buddy Hu Haimei's son who relies on Liang Changyou: Xiao Wu".
Until the time of preparation, considering that the title of the film is too long, it is easy to thunder the audience, so the series of titles at the beginning were erased, and only two concise words were left - "Xiao Wu"!
And except for Wang Qinian, including director Jia Zhangke, no one will realize that the movie "Xiao Wu" will become a popular movie.
This big hit is not about the box office, but about getting cramps when you get the award. Swept from Europe to Asia and took a bunch of famous film awards. Stimulated by a large number of trophies and honors, the media did not want money to promote it, and the box office results were not well counted, and it was released in theaters in more than ten countries, which must have made money.
In the movie "Xiao Wu", the protagonist Liang Xiaowu is a small county town in the central and western regions who steals for a living, poor and cheeky, which is a portrayal of his character. At the beginning of the movie, Liang Xiaowu got on the bus, and the conductor asked him for the ticket money, but he was cheeky and refused to give it and lost the ticket for a few cents. Moreover, he also looked at the environment and passengers in the car, probably looking for an opportunity to steal money.
After getting out of the car, I heard from others that my former buddy Xiaoyong returned from abroad and made a fortune. Later, when Xiao Wu went home to watch TV, he saw the news that Jin Xiaoyong was about to hold a wedding on TV.
Of course, Jin Xiaoyong was also a thief before, and after going abroad, he cut off contact with Xiaowu. Of course, the current Xiaoyong is actually making money by smuggling cigarettes and opening karaoke by exploiting loopholes. However, because of the high amount of taxes, he is regarded as a "law-abiding" entrepreneur by the local people.
Although Liang Xiaowu was penniless, when he saw his friend getting married, he still went out to steal, stole some money, and went to congratulate him. However, his gift money was returned, and Jin Xiaoyong would not admit that he had this buddy at all. As a result, Liang Xiaowu lost the friendship that he had always valued in his heart.
Next, Xiao Wu met Mei Mei, the young lady of the dance hall. has a crush on Meimei in her heart, and Hu Meimei is also attracted to Xiao Wu, and there is also a love between Xiao Wu and Miss Ballroom. But later, Mei Mei abandoned him and chose a rich man. Xiao Wu naturally lost love again.
And the gold ring that Xiao Wu used the stolen money (originally planned to be a wedding gift for Xiao Yong) to buy for Mei Mei was also useless, so he took the gold ring home to honor his mother, but it was suspected that it was made of copper. Later, it was estimated that it was identified as made of gold, and it was not looked upon by the family.
However, when the second child in the family got married, his parents asked him to take money as a gift, so he was naturally empty-handed and had nothing.
So, his mother gave Xiao Wu's filial piety gold ring to his second sister-in-law, who had just gotten married.
When Liang Xiaowu saw that the ring was worn in the hands of his second sister-in-law, he was naturally very dissatisfied and quarreled with his family. After that, he felt like he had lost his affection.
Friendship, love, and family affection are all lost, and as a habitual thief, he lives insensitively.
After that, the habitual offender Xiao Wu was arrested by the police again......
Wang Qinian is the part where the police arrested Xiao Wu! Because the crew took care of him and had to return to school after the eleventh long holiday, this scene was also filmed in advance.
“anet!” With Jia Zhangke's order, everyone in the crew was in place.
Photographer Yu Liwei is fiddling with a second-hand Panasonic M9ooo camera, but his attitude is very strict and serious. Most of the others are seniors in the film academy, with solid theoretical foundation and casual guidance, which also makes Wang Qinian feel that he has benefited a lot.
Wang Qi began to act as a rival according to the actions and language of the characters in the plot, cooperating with Xiao Wu played by Wang Hongwei. Wang Hongwei is regarded as the only professional actor in the crew (also from the Department of Literature), in fact, he can still play Xiao Wu. The image of the decadent thief is actually very realistic, so much so that many years later, there are still viewers who call Wang Hongwei Brother Xiaowu when they see him. Because, he played the role of Xiao Wu.
Compared with Wang Hongwei's experience, Wang Qinian's acting skills are too poor.
“netbsp;“ This doesn't work, I know you're the top student in the college entrance examination, and you have a good memory! However, rote memorization of lines and scripts is not good, the most important thing is acting, you are acting too deliberately, not real! Think about it again......"
"No way!"
“…… Suspend your role today, I contacted the Public Security Bureau, you go and see, how the real police treat thieves! ”
On the first day, the crew was a bit bumpy......
However, Wang Qinian worked harder, and through the communication and observation with the real police, gradually, he found the feeling of a policeman.
Around January 5, Wang Qinian's scenes were all finished.
During this period of time, Wang Qinian's biggest benefit is probably that with the permission of photographer Yu Liwei, he played with the camera instead of him.
Panasonic m9ooo is only low-end in professional cameras, but it is also a real professional camera, not dV, and now the market price of a is at least 3o more than 10,000 yuan.
In the school, only in the special photography class has the opportunity to operate the camera practice, and there are only one or two cameras in the classroom, and more than ten students take turns to practice. On average, I can touch a camera for two or three minutes a week, which is already very rare.
If you want to touch the camera for a longer time, you either have the money to buy one, or rent a camera. Professional cameras, rent at least a few hundred dollars a day! Off-campus equipment rental is more expensive, and a camera can be rented for thousands a day!
Therefore, film director, cinematographer and other professions were burned with money at the beginning, and for poor students who have no financial resources, there are not many who can afford to buy or rent professional equipment.
However, practical experience determines its future prospects, and if you can't find an opportunity to touch the camera more, then it is equivalent to losing at the starting line.
Because he wanted to have a little more experience, even if his role was over, Wang Qinian did not leave the crew immediately, but was quite interested in being a bystander and running errands. After a few days, Wang Qinian became familiar with several seniors in the crew. After all, everyone is from the Northern Film Department after all, and they are all in the same spirit!
Unexpectedly, on the 6th, the heroine Zuo Baitao suddenly lost her temper with the director.
Zuo Baitao is a student in the modeling class of Beijing Normal University, originally joined the crew, and felt that Jia Zhangke was a top student of Beijing Film and might direct some great film, but it turned out to be a film with a budget of 2o yuan. With such a budget, it is also very slim whether the movie can be completed, let alone be released in theaters. In addition, the salary is only 5ooo yuan, so the female lead feels that there is no future and wants to quit.
Since the heroine's play has not yet started, Jia Zhangke proposed that if she quit early, the previous prepaid salary deposit would be refunded first! In fact, in order to invite her over, the crew advanced 25oo yuan.
Zuo Baitao insisted on not returning the deposit, which was regarded as a loss for delaying these days, and he also claimed that Jia Zhangke was a liar, and he wanted to make Jia Zhangke discredited, and he could no longer deceive anyone to give him a big job.
Jia Zhangke was almost blown up by the air, and he quit halfway without saying anything, and took a bite back? If it weren't for the fact that there was no compensation clause in the contract, he would have wanted to sue.
Originally, the rest of the crew wanted to make amends, but in the end, Jia Zhangke gritted his teeth and said: "It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married, if you want to go, let's go!" But don't regret it! ”
"Phew, regret?! I really think I'm a big director, Xiao Qisan, the same waste as "Xiao Wu" in the movie! Zuo Baitao said disdainfully.
"You ......" Jia Zhangke finally shook his head, the protagonist of the plot, Xiao Wu, is a waste, and he agrees. And Zuo Baitao's money-worshipping and snobbish character is also in line with the heroine Hu Haimei, because he thinks it would be better to let her play.
After Zuo Baitao withdrew, he couldn't find an actor with acting training temporarily, and Jia Zhangke really found a ballroom lady to play the role of the heroine Hu Meimei. Due to the true performance of the dance hall lady, coupled with the director's step-by-step guidance, judging from the camera lens, it seems that it is no worse than Zuo Baitao, a model from Beijing Normal University.
Wang Qinian couldn't help but sigh, this Nima's "butterfly effect" is really born.
Zuo Baitao was originally recommended by Zhu Liqin, the leading actress in "Little Mountain Comes Home", and was originally recommended to Jia Zhangke to shoot "Gentle Night". But Jia Zhangke temporarily changed the script and remade "Xiao Wu", which already made Zuo Baitao feel deceived.
In another time and space in Wang Qinian's memory, although Zuo Baitao had conflicts with the crew in "Xiao Wu", she still coaxed and deceived her, so that she insisted on finishing the plot of the movie.
After this cooperation, Zuo Baitao parted ways with Jia Zhangke and others, and there was no new cooperation. But Zuo Baitao relied on his performance in "Xiao Wu" to show his face and blend into the industry. Later, she took a stage name called Zuo Wenlu, although she was not popular, she also performed a lot of plays, and ran a lot of tricks and supporting roles.
A graduate of Beijing Normal University, her background is far inferior to Beiying, Chinese opera, and drama, and it is not easy for her to mix a senior supporting role.
However, now Zuo Baitao has missed this opportunity to show his face in "Xiao Wu", and it is estimated that it will be more difficult to mix in the film and television industry in the future if he wants to mix up a qualification that can be valued.
