The group stayed in a mid-range hotel in the county, one for two people, and Chu Qing lived with the Hong Kong photographer Yu Liwei.

This person is the oldest big brother in the crew, his Mandarin is not very standard, he is very enthusiastic, Chu Qing is half confused and half guessed, and he chats very well.

Yu Liwei has been studying abroad, and he has been in the industry for several years after returning to Hong Kong, but he is unlucky, just in time for the decline of the Hong Kong film industry system, he has not participated in any decent production, and has been working as a camera assistant in some low-cost tertiary films, ghost films, and-pee-fart comedies.

These films, from pre-preparation, to shooting, to post-production, can be completed in ten days. and then thrown into the theater to flicker around, usually offline in less than a week, and earn dozens to millions of dollars with peace of mind. doesn't care about the infamy behind it, anyway, it's a one-shot deal.

It's also a movie?!

Yu Liwei said the same sentence as Chu Qinggang when he saw the script of "Xiao Wu".

He has always been interested in Big 6, and he always wants to come and see and shoot something. It wasn't until two years ago that he received funding from the Hong Kong Art Exhibition Bureau to come to Beijing to shoot a short film about itinerant artists "Beautiful Souls", and won an award at the Hong Kong Independent Short Film Festival last year.

It was also at this short film exhibition that Yu Liwei met Jia Zhangke, who also won the award for the short film "Little Mountain Comes Home".

The two hit it off, cherished each other, and formed a small film company, and Yu Liwei also helped Lao Jia to invest in "Xiao Wu".

In the chat with him, Chu Qing saw the same thing as Jia Zhangke from him, which is the purest and most sincere love for movies.

"Director, where did you find this dress?" Chu Qing asked with a bitter face.

"The villager borrowed it, don't wear it out, you have to pay it back." Jia Zhangke couldn't help but laugh.

This is a large suit, Chu Qing is very thin, tall and tall, wearing this suit that is at least two sizes larger, swaying in and out, like a bamboo pole carrying a piece of clothing, walking with a sense of whirring.

Before the start of filming, Jia Zhangke asked Chu Qing to shave his beard, wear a pair of black-framed glasses with no degree, and his head was still like a chicken nest.

This shape shows that he is in a very wonderful stage of life, looking young, and he can't tell which age group.

"Guys in place!" Gu Zheng shouted at the top of his voice.

Jia Zhangke didn't sit behind the monitor, because he didn't know what a monitor was, so he stood with his arms crossed and couldn't be captured by the camera.

"Camera OK!" Yu Liwei said.

“anetbsp; Gu Zheng, who is a part-time field reporter, excitedly hit a dozen boards, and the sound of "pop" was echoed.

He's in the same mood as everyone here, damn it! Lao Tzu is also making a movie!

The camera sweeps over the dirty side streets, then gives a close-up, focusing on a plate of tea and eggs on the table.

Chu Qing looked at this plate of local tyrant eggs and was in a wonderful mood for a while, and counted silently, 1, 2, 3......

Six eggs, how can you exchange two sets of big houses with yards in the future life!

He reached out a slender hand, picked up an egg, and knocked it on the table.

"Stop!"

Less than a minute after filming began, Jia Zhangke shouted to stop.

"Aoko, come over here." He screamed.

Chu Qing ran over and asked, "What's wrong, director?" ”

"Hold your hand out." Jia Zhangke said.

Chu Qing didn't know what was going on, so he raised his two hands high, just like the posture of the devil surrendering in the anti-Japanese drama.

Three black lines popped out of Jia Zhangke's head, and said, "It's not for you to lift like this, low and low!" ”

Didn't you tell him to stretch out his hand?

Chu Qing thought to himself, and lowered his hand again.

Jia Zhangke looked at these hands for a while before he said, "You said that you are a gentleman, why are you so good-looking?" ”

Chu Qing rolled her eyes, she said in her heart, I can't help it, I don't want to, I don't even know why I look like this.

His hands are really good-looking, his bones are well-proportioned, his skin is firm, his fingers are slender and not thin, and his hands are like finely carved works of art full of beauty.

As soon as his hand stretched out just now, Jia Zhangke felt that something was wrong, this was the hand used to peel tea eggs, and it was clearly the hand holding the noble wine vessel and drinking wine.

Jia Zhangke looked around, found a place, and said, "Go, go over there and get some mud, don't be so clean with your nails, you want to be black." ”

Chu Qing glanced at it, and there was a small low-lying place on the road not far away, with water mixed with sand and soil, and a lump of sluts exuding the slut breath of "you come to bite me".

The corners of his eyes twitched, but he didn't say anything, just let him do it, walked over and scooped up a black thing, and rubbed it on his hand until his nails were full of dirt.

Then I wiped it with a towel, and now my hands became black and yellow, and I didn't wash them for a year.

There's no way, the crew doesn't even have a makeup artist, and even the heroine Zuo Wenlu does her own makeup, so naturally she can't do this kind of hand makeup.

"That, director, do you still need to eat eggs for a while?" Chu Qing asked cautiously.

Jia Zhangke said: "Eat, of course you have to eat!" ”

“anetbsp; Chu Qing peeled off an egg and held it with his black hands, his face was calm, but he hesitated in his heart.

Immediately, he was ruthless, and he stuffed the whole egg into his mouth with one mouth, and swallowed it after a few casual chews.

"Stop! Pass! Jia Zhangke shouted.

He didn't say anything, just patted Chu Qing on the shoulder.

Chu Qing didn't say anything, this is filming, just eating an egg, it's not a big fart, but it looks hypocritical when he says it.

…………

There are not many shots in "Xiao Wu", and it is full of large sections of empty shots and long shots. Jia Zhangke divided the shots into a total of 12 groups, with limited funds and a very fast time.

Chu Qing didn't know how to perform, and Lao Jia didn't tell him anything, he only sued him, just remember that he was playing a thief.

What is this called a broken director!

Chu Qing had to figure it out for himself, how to play a thief?

He remembered that the small county town where he lived had a big farmer's market, and he often went to visit it. There are many thieves in the market, of course, he has never been stolen with his skills, and he has caught a few thieves.

So much so that as soon as he appeared, the entire market was peaceful.

He recalled the appearance of those thieves, and now they all had one thing in common, that is, they all had their shoulders hunched, their hands never vertical, and their eyes wandered.

The flickering of the eyes is not a left and right look, it is a movement of the head, not a movement of the eyes.

He remembered that when he was playing with his grandfather, his body did not move, but his eyes had to be closely watched by the old man's movements, and his eyes had to follow wherever his hands went, and he would be beaten if he was not careful.

Chu Qing tried to regain this feeling, and the two eyeballs were gurgling back and forth in their sockets, looking scary.

He played by himself for a while, and he felt good and reliable.

So, when he took the next shot, Jia Zhangke saw such a scene.

A young man in a gray suit, with his shoulders hunched and his fingers open, wandered around the side streets, looking at the shoe seller here and the fruit seller there, and when he turned around, he already had an apple in his hand.

Then, the eyes hidden behind the black-rimmed glasses flickered from side to side, and they seemed to be very proud.

Jia Zhangke forgot to stop watching, and it wasn't until Yu Liwei shouted that he came back to his senses, and his eyes when he looked at Chu Qing suddenly became very hot.

There are two reasons why he didn't tell Chu Qing about drama.

One is that he has almost no experience as an actor, and he doesn't know how to make an actor have a better swing.

The second is that his purpose in finding non-professional actors is to shoot the kind of images that are extremely close to the real world, and it is best not to have any traces of performance.

But in fact, this is just the wishful thinking of many directors.

Whether an actor or a non-actor, as long as they are exposed to the camera, there must be a sense of performance. This is true even if it is a recent documentary that is almost real.

The photographic lens is like a magical field in which everyone's latent performance cells are stimulated. No matter how real a person is, he will unconsciously become different from usual when he looks at the camera.

It's not yourself, it's acting.

Chu Qing's intentional or unintentional performance just now gave him a new way of thinking, and that kind of agility seemed to inject a breath of vitality into the camera, especially against the numb small county town in the background, which formed a wonderful contrast.

So this gave him a feeling that it would be good to continue acting like this.

To be honest, Chu Qing's performance is very jerky, he is simply imitating the behavior of the thief, but he unconsciously shows his own characteristics.

Jia Zhangke's deepest impression of him is peace.

There is a sense of peace in talking, doing, eating, and even walking.

And this peace, and his jerky performance, can be skillfully blended together, forming a very natural state.

A balance has been found between deliberateness and rigidity.

Some of them are so small, but they are numb and boring overall, it seems that Xiao Wu should be like this.

This undoubtedly gave Lao Jia a surprise, the original movie is real, but with the support of this natural performance, it will undoubtedly make the picture more full and three-dimensional.

"Qingzi acted well!" Jia Zhangke praised.

He and Yu Liwei are both rookies, and they don't know what the monitor is, so the two of them just looked at the viewfinder of the camera to watch the playback.

Yu Liwei was also very satisfied with the shot just now, and said: "The picture is great, and there is a sense of contrast when you look closely, it's really good!" ”

Jia Zhangke can be said to have given him great autonomy in shooting, and the shots he controls are also very distinctive, simple and calm, unassuming, and can capture the most primitive state of things.

In this movie, Jia Zhangke gave the thought, and Yu Liwei filled the content.

Next is a set of shots: Xiao Wu is wandering around the county, passing by people waiting indifferently at the bus stop, a billiards case on the street, and the pop song "Heart Rain" flooded with TV, dance halls, and video halls......

A large section of long mirrors, medium mirrors, long shots and street group portraits all present a yellow-green, yellow-green color under Yu Liwei's control. The bustling extras do their own thing, as if they don't even know the camera's existence.

This most authentic urban movement is not because of scheduling, but because it is subordinate to the county itself.

Jia Zhangke stared at the picture in the viewfinder, his whole body trembling.

He couldn't be clearer that for a director, this is the rarest luck!
