Chapter 66: Thanksgiving
The intense and busy work caused Zhang Yang to dream every night, and his brain was still acting. The content of the dream is particularly real, more exaggerated than filming, and even the character himself will have superpowers, leading everyone to participate in the revolution, opposing those dross and backward slave thoughts, eliminating all false superstitions and feudal and decadent backward systems, and even vampires in the content, all kinds of strange shapes, and unconventional content. Of course, when you wake up, you will return to reality, and sometimes you don't remember what you dreamed about, and after getting up and cleaning up, you have to live in the role again and complete your tasks.
It was busy until the time of the transition again, and during the trip, everyone had the opportunity to completely relax. When everyone arrived at the hotel and finished the meeting, they immediately began to work intensely. Because all the departments have already prepared and arrived at the selected venue in advance, when the actors arrive, they can start work quickly without wasting a minute or a second.
Zhang Yang and the others originally planned very well, and when they arrived in Dalian and Shanghai, they could go around. However, because of the heavy workload, there is no time to hang out, and the director's requirements are very strict, and rehearsals are becoming more and more frequent. In particular, Zhang Yang and Zou Kai have to insist on exercising every day, dancing and moving their muscles and bones, they are more tired than others, but fortunately, they are young and strong, energetic, and there is no problem at all to deal with it. If you persist in such a difficult environment until the end, there will be nothing to worry about when you enter the society, Zhang Yang has always comforted his own people.
When the entire crew moved to Shanghai, the filming schedule had been delayed for more than half a month, so the filming time was increased by more than half a month. Until the twins came to the crew to film again, it had entered April, and under the director's fine arrangement, everything went very smoothly, everyone worked together, united as one, and insisted on fighting until the last moment, and the crew was successfully completed.
In this shooting, Zhang Yang and Zou Kai seem to have experienced a war in person, and the tragic scenes are vivid, whether it is the bombing scene or the gunfight scene, the restoration is extremely real. The art teachers restored the people who were cold, starved, injured, sick and disabled to exactly the same as those in the war years. Even being in the arranged scene will make people feel shocking, and you can imagine how miserable the Chinese people lived in the past, how backward their thinking was, and how much they were humiliated.
The director's purpose is to describe his country through such characters, telling modern people that they must always remember history, walk with the pace of international development, and don't lag behind, because the tragic fate of not having enough food and gnawing the roots of trees no longer belongs to this era.
After the end of the shooting, Zhang Yang was very calm, not as excited as others, until the end of the last shot, he felt that he was dead and alive again. Because in reality, the ideological education and wealth that they have are the sacrifices of the martyrs, and it is the paradise life they dream of.
Zhang Yang cheered when he saw the scene, shouting and hugging for the smooth end of the shooting. Zhang Yang stood in place, tears flowed out naturally, he couldn't understand these tears, it can be said that he shed for the death of his character, or it can be said that he shed for today's hard-won peaceful life, in short, there are too many meanings.
Due to the strength of Zhang Yang and the affirmation of the director, the production company agreed to specially mark the name of the Art College and Studio of Hainan University on the subtitles. Not only that, because of his perfect interpretation, he also increased his salary, and got a total of 5 million after tax, and he is the highest-paid actor in the crew. The remuneration was far more than two million more than the contract, and of course this was agreed by the government.
When the director was still filming on the spot, the editor had already edited out the promotional video according to the requirements and promoted it on major platforms. The flamboyance in the lens is perfect, and people can't find any deliberately acted expression. His emotions are very full and real, and his energy is like innate, inexhaustible, which is beyond everyone's expectations. The flamboyant emotional interpretation can be said to be many levels higher than the previous movies. Just watching the promotional video, many people commented that this film can be taken to the international market and comparable to many popular TV series. Watching Zhang Yang's acting, it can be said that it is very liberating, that is, with a smile, you are willing to be happy with him, and when you are sad, you want to share it for him, his purity and self-contained charm are not only strong on the scene, but also strong in the camera, with his own aura.
At the finale banquet, Zhang Yang was still unusually calm, as if he had experienced life and death. He is especially grateful to the male lead who can participate in this TV series, he has learned a lot, and he has said a lot of words of thanks to everyone, every word is expressed from the heart, and everyone also gave him warm applause and recognized his ability very much.
After the finale banquet, Zhang Yang arranged for Ren Huayu to return to Beijing, so that he could continue to help the artists in the studio negotiate suitable business. And Zhang Yang, Zou Kai and the twins hurried back to school to prepare for the exam.
After Zhang Yang returned to school, because of the care of the school leaders, he was grateful from the bottom of his heart, so he directly donated 500,000 yuan to the school as a bursary for poor students. The twins earned a total of 300,000 yuan, and they not only paid back the money, but also earned their tuition and living expenses, and also donated 20,000 yuan to the school. Zou Kai earned two million, he paid a lot, especially in martial arts, he never used a stand-in, he did all the actions himself, and he also donated 200,000 bursary. At the same time, Zhang Yang also donated 500,000 yuan to the Provincial Marine Environmental Protection Association in the name of public welfare ambassador and studio.
The promotion of the TV series was held in Haikou, and Zhang Yang donated the money on the day of the event, so it became famous, reported on the news and TV, and did a lot of publicity for the new film and marine environmental protection.
After everything is over, life finally returns to calm again, as if with the death of the character, Zhang Yang finally has the opportunity to enjoy a carefree study life again. When I returned to school and officially started classes, it was already May, that is, after more than two months of classes, it would be summer vacation, and the school would start again and be the third year.
After returning to school, everything was safe, Zhang Yang handed over the task of accounting and housekeeping to the twins, although there were not many people in the studio, but since discovering the twins' special talents, they finally didn't have to calculate the account books every day, and all the details of the studio were handed over to them, and the twins agreed without hesitation, because it was too simple for them.
Zou Kai has always wanted to put part of his salary into the studio, because he feels that he can get this role completely by relying on his flamboyant business acumen. But Zhang Yang has always refused, and said that this was Zou Kai's own efforts. After Zhang Yang asked Zou Kai how to use the money, Zou Kai said that the money would be left for his sister to study in Tokyo, and he still planned to be a policeman after graduation, and filming was all an episode in his study and life, his words were very sincere, and he really didn't love this industry.
Maybe five million or two million, that's too much for many people, but compared to a flamboyant family business, it's the same amount as spending tens of thousands. So Zhang Yang doesn't think it's a lot, he just knows that if he pays it, he will get the due return, if he becomes a star, the salary of 50 million or 30 million is much higher than his own salary. The production company saw this, saved a lot of money, and used the money to find more powerful actors to participate in the production, as long as they are willing to work hard, there is no dream that cannot be realized, Director Cai has done it, and Zhang Yang also believes that the government will give him a very generous reward.
At the class meeting in the afternoon, the head teacher turned on the computer video and played the promotional video of the TV series, but Zhang Yang stared at the screen and couldn't see his own shadow, and the people on the screen had no connection with his current self at all. After the playback, I only listened to everyone's applause and praised Zhang Yang and Zou Kai.
Zhang Yang responded to everyone with a smile, he knew that he was successful as an actor, and seeing that Zou Kai was already blushing at the moment, he didn't look like the tough guy in the TV series at all. In fact, everyone in reality is just a child, and in that era, people had no choice, even if they were a child, they had to use themselves as a person, and it was likely that the next second would be death.
I went back to school and went to class calmly for a few days, but fortunately, I didn't lose my work, there was no problem with the course, compared to the previous busyness, at the moment it was like a pension, and I lived a carefree life every day.
After the holiday, Zhang Yang and Zou Kai began to rehearse the dance, reviewed all the content they had learned before a few times, and the two of them danced for a while after moving their muscles and bones, sweating profusely, and their mood was very refreshing. In this way, when the two of them are in the crew, it is right to insist on exercising, otherwise their physical strength will not be able to keep up at all.
When the two were dancing, Zou Xuan and Lin Qianqian didn't know when they arrived at the dance training room, after Zou Xuan moved her body, she jumped a few times, her body was very dexterous, if she wanted to maintain such skills, it can be seen that she usually trains hard alone. Zou Xuan gestured and practiced basic skills. Lin Qianqian chatted more cheerfully than before.
After the dance practice, Zhang Yang was exhausted, and while resting, he talked to the two of them.
Zhang Yang felt that the room was too stuffy, so he walked out of the dance studio, stood in the corridor, looked at the courtyard downstairs, blowing the warm breeze, and breathing was much easier. Zhang Yang found that the previous sculpture had been taken away, and now it had been replaced with a new stone, and someone was carving.
There were very few students in the college during the holidays, and Zhang Yang walked to the first floor, looking at the excellent works hanging in the corridor, several of Gan Jun's snow paintings were hung on the wall, one of which was a photo of the crew's work, he painted the whole mountain car into it, and the crowd being filmed in the distance was lifelike, and the motion capture was in place.
The rhythm of Zhang Yang's breathing finally eased, and he was very uncomfortable after a long period of exercise. He looked at each painting carefully, of many types, all of which were beautiful, but Gan Jun was the most, and when he saw the painting, he remembered the scene of filming at that time, and couldn't help but shudder.
"It's hard to film, isn't it?"
Zhang Yang turned around and saw Lin Qianqian, Lin Qianqian has really matured too much, and she looks like a mature woman.
"Well, see those paintings? It's all drawn by Gan Jun hiding in the car, and we shoot like this outside every day, hey......"
"What's wrong? Not happy? ”
Zhang Yang listened to Lin Qianqian ask gently, "No! It's just that this time it's a war scene, and when I think about it, I'm very emotional! It was not easy in those days...... You follow me, is there something going on? Zhang Yang asked Lin Qianqian seriously, and it seemed that there was something on his mind.
"It's nothing, it's just that I always want to thank you, it was you who made me realize that my relationship with Liu Zhenming has no future at all, thank you for saying it that day, otherwise I would still be full of illusions about him. I know you've always treated me as a friend, and I admit that I did have a crush on you, and everyone has girly dreams, but reality is still reality after all...... I've seen it now, and I'm telling you this, I hope you don't misunderstand me! You're going to have lessons with Sonoda-sensei in the future, right? ”
Zhang Yang looked at Lin Qianqian, remembering that when she first met, she didn't dare to say anything, she was always shy to answer, she could see that she liked herself from the beginning, after all, the girl who pursued herself from childhood to adulthood, there were all kinds of things, and she could see it at a glance, thinking that she must have no heart to say this, hearing her ask herself, Zhang Yang replied, "Keep going!" Or twice a week! Actually...... I can't stand it and hide it, Liu Zhenming's things just let me meet, a friend, someone has to scold him to wake him up, just wronged you, I can see that you have been hurt a lot......"
Zhang Yang wanted to persuade Lin Qianqian to let her protect herself, but Lin Qianqian suddenly said, "I'm with Mr. Sonoda, he is very good to me and respects me, I hope you will see us in the future, please keep it secret for us, he plans to take me back to Tokyo when I graduate." ”
Zhang Yang looked at Lin Qianqian seriously, not like a joke, Zhang Yang knew that Sonoda was a good teacher who was serious and responsible, gentle and mature, and Lin Qianqian was also a very good girl. Zhang Yang's face turned red when he saw Lin Qianqian say this, and he kept staring at himself.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I guessed it a long time ago, Sonoda-sensei...... Don't worry, I was worried that you hated Liu Zhenming and wanted to persuade you! ”
"It's not hateful, he made me mature, and I have to thank him, no wonder Sonoda-sensei would say, you might guess his mind!" Lin Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, because Teacher Sonoda didn't want the school to know, for fear that there would be rumors among the students, which would affect Lin Qianqian's study and life, so she has always been polite, but holding hands has never happened.
"Bystanders, I think Sonoda is ...... for dinner that day. I think you've noticed it a long time ago, congratulations, you've found a good man! Zhang Yang said encouragingly, really happy for Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian said a lot of things about Teacher Sonoda, and she still can't believe it, although it was Sonoda who expressed her heart first, but Lin Qianqian couldn't believe it, she just thought that it was the teacher's concern for the students' emotions. Zhang Yang listened to these words, thinking that Yuan Tian looked like Zou Kai from the outside, but his character was definitely very positive, his height and appearance were very good, such a boy chased her, Lin Qianqian was also a girl's dream come true, and they were really suitable together.
Zhang Yang and Lin Qianqian talked a lot, like friends, they were still very happy to know that Lin Qianqian did not have any psychological trauma, and they were also relieved, and at the end of the chat, they only heard Lin Qianqian ask Zhang Yang, "Do you know a boy named Yang Ming Chengzhi?" ”
