Chapter 159: Filming in the countryside

On this day, after Zhang Chengyuan and Lee Da-hae finished filming two or three shots, they followed a film crew to a quiet small village under the jurisdiction of Chuncheon City, Gangwon Province, to prepare to shoot some sex-related scenes described in the script that Xue Gongcan and Zhu Yuling left behind in the countryside for one night after getting lost.

The small village is small, with only a few dozen households, and the young people generally go to school or work in the city, and the rest are mostly middle-aged and elderly, mostly women. In addition to these people, there were also some children and a few young people in their twenties. The people here look very simple, curious and enthusiastic about the arrival of the film crew, and often look at the various members of the crew with undisguised surprise, among which Zhang Chengyuan and Li Dahai are the two leading actors who are most interested in them, followed by the person with the camera equipment in their hands.

Because Zhang Chengyuan and Li Duohai have each starred in several very popular TV series, a considerable number of people in this village recognize the two of them, although most of them can't call their real names, but it does not prevent the villagers from calling them by the names of the characters in the TV series, and for a while, "Yin Chuyuan", "Wu Xiuer", "Li Menglong", "Che Chengxian" and other names were called out by the villagers in a low voice from time to time.

Perhaps because the name "Lee Meng-ryong" has long been a household name and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people due to the ancient Korean legend "The Legend of Chunhyang", the number of calls for "Lee Meng-ryong" is the most.

When Zhang Chengyuan and Li Duohai heard the villagers calling for the names they had once in the TV series, they both smiled and waved to the villagers, and at the same time began to raise the bar in a low voice.

Li Duohai said: "Oppa, is your popularity higher than mine?" Why are there more people calling your name than me? ”

Zhang Chengyuan boasted to himself: "That's natural, I am handsome and tall, my acting skills are superb, my debut time is earlier than you, my popularity is higher than yours, and it is natural that there are more people who know me." ”

Li Duohai asked disdainfully: "If that's the case, why don't you call you Zhang Chengyuan, but Li Menglong, it's obvious that you have the light of this name." Also, although you debuted two years earlier than me, you went to the army for two years, so we have been working in the entertainment industry for about the same time, and you say that your popularity is higher than mine, isn't that saying that I can't compare to you? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said lightly: "The facts are in front of you!" ”

Li Duohai retorted: "That's because there are more women and fewer men on the scene, especially there are too few young men. ”

Although Zhang Chengyuan felt that what she said made sense, he did not lose the battle, and said: "Whatever you say, I won this time anyway." ”

Li Duohai said unconvinced: "Then next time we will go to the army to compare popularity!" ”

went to the army, even if he was a superstar, he didn't want to compete with a so-so-looking woman in popularity, he would definitely lose, not to mention that Li Duohai was so beautiful and popular! Zhang Chengyuan naturally would not agree to Li Duohai's proposal, and counterattacked: "How about going to the women's barracks?" ”

Li Duohai said indignantly: "Oppa, you are a hundred times worse than Xue Gongcan, it's so bad!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said: "Duohai, Zhu Yuling is a hundred times cuter and more beautiful than you, you are much uglier." In fact, he felt that Li Duohai at this time was the incarnation of Zhu Yuling, very cute, and made him want to tease her every day.

While the two were busy arguing, the film crew communicated with the village chief, and after promising some small conditions, asked the village chief to help persuade the villagers who were watching the excitement around, and selected a dozen or so to be extras. At this time, it was winter, and even the snow had fallen several times, and there was basically no farm work to be done in the village, and most of the villagers were very idle, and they were happy to participate in the lively people who could be extras, and finally selected a dozen people with simple faces and relatively clever people.

After all the preparations were made, it was already dark and the film crew began shooting. At the beginning of the filming, there were no extras, and they also needed staff to rehearse for them, and what they wanted to shoot was the footage of Xue Gongcan and Li Dahai entering the village after they got lost, and asking the villagers about the surrounding situation. The villagers in this shot are played by a professional actress, and because there are several lines, I don't feel at ease to let the real villagers play them.

The actors who came to this village with the crew this time, in addition to Zhang Chengyuan and Li Duohai, there are also five or six actors who are not well-known and often play small roles such as passers-by, who come here to play a few rural villagers who entertain Xue Gongcan and Zhu Yuling, and the rest of the villagers who appear are played by real villagers.

Speaking of which, these nameless actors are also very hard, for a few shots, they have to go to this kind of rural place to endure the cold weather, but they only have a meager remuneration that is only enough to eat a few meals, but fortunately, they can hitchhike the film crew back and forth, otherwise they will not even be enough for the travel expenses. Zhang Chengyuan still respects these seemingly insignificant actors, he also started from playing tricks, and knows their hardships and enthusiasm for acting, but they don't have excellent or unique appearance conditions, so there is still no change after so many years. But in fact, their acting skills and understanding of drama may not be inferior to those star actors.

Playing with these actors who are not famous but have good strength, the filming process went quite smoothly, except for the beginning of the cooperation, the situation after that made director Jeon Ki-sang feel very satisfied, and the other members of the crew were also happy to watch it. Because in this cold weather, no one wants to stay outside for a long time, and they all want to be able to shoot tonight's footage in the shortest possible time, so that they can enter a warm room and sleep well.

took a few shots in a row, and it came to the highlight of tonight: the scene where Zhu Yuling was dancing and singing.

In rural Korea, very few people can sing the current popular Hallyu songs, and some elderly people don't even listen to them, and what they listen to and sing is basically Trot, or Korean singing, a kind of popular music that originated in the Korean Peninsula during the modern Japanese colonial rule. In the countryside, Trot is the real pop music, and now the K-pop electronic music that is taking the whole of Asia by storm is in the market, and a small number of young people will listen to it and sing it. In addition, there are a large number of people in Korea who don't sing Hallyu songs, but there are very few who can't sing Trot songs, and even young people or teenage middle school students will sing a nostalgic classic Trot song or two. Because it sings in a simple way, with a bright rhythm, and almost no difficulty, you can learn to sing along a few times.

Although Lee Dahae grew up in Australia, he has studied traditional Korean dance and other traditional culture since he was a child, and he has been back in Korea for several years, so he is no stranger to Trot and even sings quite well, at least compared to Jang Sung-won, who has never been interested in Korean tradition, I don't know much better.

Before filming this scene, Zhang Chengyuan and Li Duohai changed into rustic rural clothes. Zhang Chengyuan was wearing a set of unmatched sportswear of more than ten years ago, the top was light blue, the pants were reddish-brown, the colors were extremely incompatible, and they also did not fit, and the sleeves and pants were several inches shorter. In addition, he wore inferior black leather shoes with fluff on his feet, which was even more awkward when compared to the somewhat old sportswear.

Li Duohai laughed and sneered: "Oppa, where did you find this dress, so distinctive?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said with a slight bitterness: "I borrowed it from the villagers, and it was scraped together, except for the shoes that fit well, the clothes and pants are too short." "In addition, it is not warm, but Zhang Chengyuan has true qi to protect his body, and he doesn't care about the cold weather.

Li Duohai said: "Who told you to be so tall, let's make do with it first." Also, your outfit fits the plot quite well, after all, it's so easy for you to find clothes that fit and look good in a small village. ”

Pulling the sportswear on Zhang Chengyuan's body, she said in surprise: "Oppa, aren't you cold?" The clothes are so thin! ”

Zhang Chengyuan said casually: "I have a strong ability to resist the cold, so don't worry about me." ”

Li Duohai said disapprerovingly: "Who is worried about you, I just envy you for not having to wear too thick clothes." She was wearing thick cotton clothes and cotton pants, and her body was bulging, although she was still very cute, but her slender figure was covered, which made her a little disliked. And even though she was dressed like this, she still felt a little cold, and her body kept shaking to keep herself warmer.

Jang Sung-won asked, "Are you cold?" ”

Li Duohai said: "Of course it's cold, that's why I envy you!" ”

"Give me your hand!" Zhang Chengyuan ordered softly.

"For what? Want to take advantage of me? Li Duohai joked, but still obediently handed his hands to Zhang Chengyuan.

Zhang Chengyuan stretched out his hand to hold it, and said, "Who wants to take advantage of an ugly girl like you, my girlfriend is a hundred times more beautiful than you." ”

After hearing this, Li Duohai was naturally very annoyed, but when she was about to withdraw her hand angrily, she suddenly felt a hot breath coming from Zhang Chengyuan's palm, along her palms and arms gradually entered all parts of her body, making her feel extremely warm, as if her whole body was immersed in a hot spring, she was stunned for a while, and asked: "oppa, are you holding a new variety of high-end heater in your hand, why is it so magical, I am afraid that the effect is a hundred times stronger than that of a hot water bottle!" I felt it carefully, but I was surprised to find that there was nothing in Zhang Chengyuan's palm, and I couldn't help but look at Zhang Chengyuan dumbfounded.

After about ten seconds, Zhang Chengyuan withdrew his hand, and saw that Li Duohai was still looking at his palm intently, trying to find out the source of the heat, so he spread out his hand and asked her to examine it carefully.

Li Duohai found nothing, took a step forward and turned around, shoulder-to-shoulder with Zhang Chengyuan, leaned into his ear and asked, "Oppa, are you doing magic and turning that hot thing away?" Or are you an alien who uses technology that we earthlings don't understand? "It's a bit of a thief.

Zhang Chengyuan slapped her on the head amusefully and said, "Your imagination is too strange!" ”

Li Duohai: "Then how did you get it, tell me about it!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "As an Oriental and a neighbor of the Chinese, haven't you heard that China has a magical method of forging the body, called 'qigong'?" ”

Li Duohai was surprised: "Is there such a thing?" I grew up abroad, and I don't know how to do this. This method can help people keep out the cold, it's amazing, oppa, how did you learn it? Teach me too! ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Let's talk about it after filming first, it's not that simple to learn this!" ”

Li Duohai said excitedly: "Then it's decided, you must teach me in the future!" "For artists, I don't know how valuable the method of being able to effectively resist the cold is, and how much hard work can be reduced for the artist, and when she learns it, she will not be afraid of filming in winter in the future. At this time, she didn't know that the "qigong" mentioned by Zhang Chengyuan was not only a function to keep out the cold, otherwise, she would definitely be happier and more eager to learn this thing.

……

Soon filming began, and Li Dahai quickly entered the filming state, happily dancing and singing a Trot song "If You Want", a group of actors swayed around her left and right to follow the rhythm, and Zhang Chengyuan stood on the periphery and watched her from afar.

Her demeanor is lively, her expression is sweet, and her smile is as refreshing as a spring breeze, Zhang Chengyuan looked at it, and couldn't help but smile with joy and pity at her without acting, and gently clapped his palms with the rhythm of the music.

When the actor was immersed in the joyful atmosphere created by Li Dahai, Li Duohai's singing voice suddenly decreased a lot, and it turned out that the microphone was actually malfunctioning. Li Duohai slapped the microphone helplessly and sighed, she was in a good state just now, but she was suddenly interrupted, and she felt a little unhappy, and the other actors and staff naturally didn't feel happy, they all secretly blamed this microphone for being too uncompetitive, and didn't wait for Li Duohai to finish singing and then break it, there were only two or three sentences left.

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and raised his right thumb to Li Duohai high, indicating that she performed well, Li Duohai nodded with a smile, his mood immediately improved a lot, and he also stretched out his thumb and pointed at himself, saying: "I accept your wishes." ”

After changing the microphone, I continued to shoot, and this time it went smoothly and was done quickly. After that, the director directs the crew to change the venue, move the filming equipment, and prepare to shoot another scene.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Duohai came to Zhang Chengyuan's side and said a little ostentatiously: "Oppa, I sing well, right?" Must be better than you, right? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I really sing well, but it's not a big deal to be better than me, I basically can't sing!" ”

"Wouldn't it? oppa, you're Fin.k.l's brother! Didn't your four sisters teach you? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I used to learn a little from them, but at that time, I had to concentrate on learning acting, so I didn't have time to learn singing." Later, he was busy filming and making money, and he didn't even think about learning what to sing. ”

Li Duohai said: "oppa, then you have to practice hard, I heard the screenwriter say that you have to add a few singing scenes to the script, and you also have to sing a song, if you don't practice now, it will be bad if you make a fool of yourself in filming in the future." However, it's not bad to be ugly, and I really want to see what you will look like when you are embarrassed. Li Duohai thought about it, so he covered his mouth and secretly laughed.

Jang Sung-won knocked her head again and said, "Don't dream, there won't be that day, after I go back to Seoul, I'll find a screenwriter to figure out what song I want to sing, and then ask Sister Joo-hyun to teach me to sing, with my intelligence, I will soon sing better than you." ”

Li Duohai said angrily: "Megalomania! If you want to surpass me, practice hard for a few years! ”

……

After filming a few more night scenes, the film crew called it a day, the time was about 10 o'clock in the evening, and they stayed in this village that night, because there were a lot of staff and not enough houses, so several people slept on the spot for one night, Zhang Chengyuan, a popular star, was no exception, and the director, photographer and other people squeezed a room together, but Li Duohai was more comfortable, just sleeping in the same room with a local young girl.
