Chapter 178: The Empty City
Dou Wei should be very satisfied with the quality of "Tonight", and after reading it, he happily signed the agreement.
Chu Qing and Li Yu don't understand music, but they believe in this person's strength and boldly let it go. The only request was to try to do it within a month, and no later than mid-November. As for the price, it really wasn't much, and the 100,000 yuan he just got was unexpectedly not spent.
After a few contacts, he slowly became more familiar, and Chu Qing found that Dou Wei's personality was actually quite simple.
Love cleanliness, when eating, you must wipe the table shiny, and the ashtray will be poured for you. And he couldn't get used to seeing leftovers, and when Li Yu had some leftovers, he kept chattering on the side, and Li Yu had no choice but to eat hard and vomit.
Dou Wei belongs to a special old Beijing person, but he doesn't say the Beijing swear words that often spew out of the mouths of the gentlemen on the street, he doesn't say it at all, he is quite elegant and a man.
It's easy to get along, just joking, don't be in a hurry or annoyed, only about feelings, don't ask, frown when you ask, that means: don't make a fuss.
Last year, he unofficially divorced Wang, and he would live with Gao Yuan in his father's old courtyard. He didn't live too well, because the "Auditory Hallucinations" album didn't sell well and didn't make any money, and the company didn't care about his increasingly cold real music, so he deliberately left it behind. Therefore, the soundtrack for "This Summer" is still his first single job in 2000.
To be honest, if Dou Wei wants to open his mouth to sing, he will definitely make a lot of money. But he would rather soak in the blue lotus and make a pot of tea. Sit quietly for the day. Except for He Yong's goods, he will occasionally find him to kill two games of chess, and he is basically in a state of seclusion.
The three heroes of Moyan who pushed Chinese rock to the pinnacle back then. So far, one has died, one has gone crazy, and the other has become an immortal.
It's all stories of the past......
Chu Qing finalized this file, and it was October in the blink of an eye.
The crew of "Li Wei as an Official" has been shouting for a long time in the online audition, and as a matter of course, they hit the street and chose an auspicious day. The media was convened and a large-scale start-up ceremony was held.
Xu Zheng, Fan Xiaoye, Yu Zhen, Li Qian and other big and small corners were all present, but Teacher Tang did not come. People are filming "The Long March", but they also sent a blessing in the air, and the gift is comprehensive.
Chu Qing accompanied his girlfriend as usual, and made a cameo appearance as an assistant. No need to toss this time. All the scenes are around the capital and in the studios of the Beijing Film Studio. It's close to home, and if you're lucky, you can catch up with a dream.
The face of the producer is quite wide, and there are more than 20 media outlets, crackling and shooting, no stage, the set is open, and interviews are casual.
After Xu Zheng finished playing Zhu Bajie, it was a popular coffee. Attracted the most firepower. Then there is Fan Xiaoye, and there are many people around him.
There was no decent news for half a year. There are even rumors secretly that she was implicated by a certain man and was banned together. As a result, in the second half of the year, I made a strong effort, and two consecutive dramas scheduled to be ranked in the ratings next year are too weird, who must be blushing. If you want to say that you don't have any insiders, you won't believe it if you die!
The entertainment reporters began to be polite, according to the draft, and then they became more and more presumptuous, and Balabala forcibly dragged her to brush up on gossip, that posture, as if she didn't admit that she relied on her relationship to get on top, that is, she was clearly blind.
Seeing that the girl was a little overwhelmed, Chu Qing came over from the side, grabbed her shoulders with her arms, and hugged her directly.
The reporters were stunned, and said in their hearts, who is this buddy, pretending to be so coercive? Stared at it carefully, shrugged his shoulders, and had to stop there. Of course, there are rookies who are not convinced, and want to catch up and ask again, and then provoke the seniors to teach a lesson:
"You dare to report him? You go! ”
Chu Qing stayed on the set for most of the day, and in addition to doing trivial things for his girlfriend, the main thing was to make friends with Xu Zhengpan. The two don't have much contact, but their aura is very compatible, how can they shoot Zhu Bajie, it can be said that men and men cherish each other, they both love drama and performance.
Xu Zheng expressed his indignation and admiration for his situation, and listened to him talk about a movie, which was soon finished and planned to be sent to foreign exhibitions. In those little eyes, I couldn't help but give birth to a trace of admiration.
Chu Qing doesn't quite understand the meaning of what she does, but in the eyes of her peers, when the vast majority of actors are still struggling for the role of a little bit of a fart, and passively choosing for the domineering monopoly resources of film studios and film and television companies, Ya can really make a movie.
What is this concept called?
It shows that he has an independent, autonomous, choice and discourse power, even if it is particularly weak.
In the first scene of today's start, there was Fan Xiaoye's play, and he entered the role quickly and played well. In her previous style, the foundation was solid, and those big places, such as happiness, anger, pain, and crying...... She grasps the relatively strong feelings very well, but the delicacy and implied tension are a little worse.
But this time, she actually learned to control it, holding it back, her face was fine at Xu Zheng, gentle and tenacious, but as soon as she turned around, tears fell instantly.
Chu Qing has seen the petrification, when did the stupid girl upgrade, it was too fierce. At the same time, I was surprised, but I couldn't help but be quietly and secretly, and the feeling of growing up with her was really fulfilling.
In short, most of the process is quite comfortable, and there are no bad villains jumping out and playing with the emotional intelligence of insufficient balance...... Uh, well, there was an accident too.
Chu Qing looked at an acquaintance very magically, let's call him an acquaintance.
Yu Yu, Teacher Yu, played a prefect in the play, put on a beard, the same as the old lady.
Isn't this metaphor a contradiction?
Anyway, Chu Qing is happy, good guy, donkey with donkey, elephant with elephant, Teacher Yu has to make up with Lao Guo after all, and it is pleasing to the eye.
……
Henan, Anyang. For this city, which has traces of human activity 25,000 years ago, anything will look tender in front of it.
It's the late autumn season, the weather is a little cool in the morning and evening, and after a while, the north will start to heat.
There are many theories about the north-south heating boundary, one is bounded by the Yellow River, the other is bounded by the Yangtze River, and the other is bounded by the Qinling Huai River. In the north, there is heating, and in the south, each has its own destiny.
Anyway, no matter how it is divided, Henan is a province with a strange location. Across the Yellow River, across the Yangtze River, across the Huai River. Half of the population complains every winter.
Policies were made in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the north and south were separated because of the shortage of resources and the inability to meet the needs of the people of the whole country. After a few decades, it has long ceased to work, and central heating has become a matter for the local government and residential areas. Conditional. Naturally, they will pave facilities, unconditional, or simply pretend not to know. That's it.
Fortunately, Anyang is heated.
As soon as Zhu Yuxin arrived at the hotel, he asked about this matter clearly, so he was relieved. The crew is going to stay for a month. There is no air conditioning in a dilapidated hotel. That properly froze to death.
She graduated from Chinese opera, debuted early, and filmed her first TV series in 92. Later, he went to Hong Kong to become a host, and he was quite miserable, and then returned to the mainland to spend his days on some small films, and he has never been popular.
When Wang Chao was looking for her, she didn't even read the script carefully. As far as Lisso agreed. The salary is pitiful, and it is also a piece of meat. You have to live, you have to make a living, who cares about it, social contradictions, and I have a bird relationship!
Both of them belong to the improvisation, the worst of the best, pick out the best.
Zhu Yuxin finished packing his luggage and looked at the dry plain room, and couldn't help but sigh, slightly sad. The crew is really poor, the funds are estimated to be less than one million, a dozen guys, two professional actors, plus a half-tone director...... Isn't it sad for Mao?
She took off her denim outfit and changed into a jacket, a short skirt, and black leggings. I looked in the mirror again, painted heavy makeup, stepped on a pair of boots, and walked out of the house.
This counts her costume.
The crew arrived in Anyang at noon, Wang Chao only gave half a day of rest, and filming was about to start in the evening, and he was in a hurry. He didn't bother to catch his breath, and after settling in, he took the photographer to see the venue, while the others hurried to recover their condition.
Outside is a corridor, very narrow, the door of the room is open in twos and twos, maybe they are asleep, very quiet.
Zhu Yuxin took a look through the dark light in the porch, and at the end of the right was a window with a large garbage can poked underneath, but on the left it led to an open-air balcony where someone was standing.
"Qing, Brother Qing!"
Although this person said early that he could be called Qingzi, Zhu Yuxin still didn't dare, so he paused and changed it to the word brother.
"Yo, Sister Xin, don't scold me, you're two years older than me." He pinched the white cigarette stick in his hand and looked back and smiled.
"Heh, what are you doing?" She smiled too.
"It's okay, just take a look."
"Oh." She stepped to the side, a little cramped.
The balcony is spacious, without walls on three sides, and when you look up, the sparse high-rise buildings, the dense low houses, the crowded streets and the broken passers-by are like an awkward picture, full of irregular desertion.
One is a low-level actor, and the other is an actor, even if he is blocked. But now in the film and television industry, who doesn't know the master's vast connections and super good reputation, maybe he will turn over and climb up one day.
Zhu Yuxin glanced at him, a rare opportunity to be alone, tried to find a topic, and said, "Are you ready for your evening play?" ”
"Not so good."
"Why isn't it good?" She wondered.
He looked at her, after all, she was the heroine in the play, and said: "When I first read the script, it felt similar to "Xiao Wu". Hey, have you watched "Xiao Wu"? ”
"No, I haven't seen it."
"Well, it just feels like the style is quite similar anyway, but after taking it, I looked at it carefully a few times, and I suddenly didn't have much confidence." He shook his head and said worriedly: "This play is too difficult!" ”
"Huh? Difficult? Zhu Yuxin blinked, especially blindfolded, why didn't he feel difficult?
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. Well, I'll go back to the house first. He extinguished the cigarette butt and flicked it into the garbage can, not saying anything more, just waving his hand.
The script of "Anyang Baby" is very simple: a laid-off worker picks up a child, and there is a note in the swaddling clothes with a pager number written on it, and says that if he is willing to adopt the child, he will get 200 yuan a month in child support. The mother was a prostitute, and the two of them hooked up as soon as they came and went......
The story seems a little illogical and thinly structured, but that's the director's business. If you just talk about performance, it's really hard to control.
He has seen so many directors with personality, deep and deep, violent and brutal, all with flags held high. even thought that Zhu Wen was the most inhumane guy, but now I find out that Wang Chaocai is the most indifferent.
Compared with "Xiao Wu", it is true that the two films are similar, but Jia Zhangke is definitely much warmer than Wang Chao. The latter's dissection of certain issues, as well as the perspective without any senses, is straight to the bone, and frighteningly cold.
That's all there is to it, and more importantly, what Wang Chao wants to shoot is Anyang, and he is a person living in Anyang. This is also where his confidence is weakest.
When filming "Xiao Wu", he relied on the fearlessness of the ignorant, and there was no ideological consideration. When he arrived at "Platform", he felt that he had played to the extreme in terms of his own level.
It's not just the technical growth, it's the emotional thickness. He is completely familiar with the city of Fenyang, the people of Fenyang, and the history and stories of Fenyang.
Therefore, when he played Xiao Wu, he could be called shallow; When playing Cui Mingming, he is unusually full, because he is in a full city. With feelings, he is Cui Mingliang and a native of Fenyang, and he no longer has to be rigid from an outsider's point of view.
And Wang Chao, a pit goods, wants to make a movie about another city, and his emotions are getting stronger and stronger, and the progress is so ...... I really don't dare to pack tickets, I can play well.
Anyang was so strange to him, there was no memory, no warmth or indifference, just an ordinary empty city.
How does he act?
(Two is even more gone, okay, I'll slap myself in the face, Orz ~~~~~~~~) (to be continued......)
