In the afternoon of the same day, the staff of the crew of "Plum Yellow Time Rain" contacted Xu Zhen and sent him the script, character introduction, shooting plan and other relevant information of the film.

After communicating with Qiao Feng, Xu Zhen immediately coordinated the relevant work and prepared to leave for the filming location:

"The Hometown of Huangmei Opera", Tongcheng.

Tongcheng is a famous cultural city, there is the famous "Six Feet Lane" in the city, and the largest prose school in the Qing Dynasty, the "Tongcheng School", is also named after this place.

"Plum Yellow Rain" is a local cultural film filmed by local organizations, with the main purpose of promoting Huangmei Opera.

The investment is not high, but the specifications are high.

The Huizhou "actress" Diao Yanhong, the "actor" Chen Zhenghao, and a famous director were all invited to participate in the filming of this movie, and the behind-the-scenes team is quite strong.

After Xu Zhen received the script, he simply flipped through it and unexpectedly found that the quality of the book was not bad.

The movie tells a very simple story:

A Huangmei drama troupe in a small county town is on the verge of disbanding because it can't make ends meet all year round.

After learning the news, those old actors who retired, changed careers, and emigrated to other places got together again, and finally rehearsed a wonderful drama, which caused a sensation in the small county.

In the end, although the troupe was disbanded, under the influence of this performance, the local "Huangmei Opera fever" was rekindled, and many children learned to play because of this, and the culture of opera was inherited.

The story structure is not exciting, it is an old-fashioned emotional movie.

But as a Huangmei Opera-themed film, "Plum Yellow Rain" has made its professional part extremely meticulous and exquisite.

The film's advisory group is composed of authoritative experts in the industry, and the producer Diao Yanhong is also a professional actor from elementary school.

The main text of the script is only more than 30,000 words, but the relevant appendix is attached with more than 300,000 words, which explains the various scenes, techniques, allusions, etc. in the script in great detail.

He originally wanted to type it directly with the printer in the office, but when he saw this space, he decisively gave up the idea and found a printing shop to glue the book.

- Type it out, put it in the bookcase, and have a collection value.

This is simply an encyclopedia of Huangmei opera!

Xu Zhen graduated from Chinese opera, and when he was in college, he also had some superficial understanding of Huangmei opera. But if you want to really sing it, it's definitely not good.

But fortunately, he is only going to play a cameo role, and there are not many shots involved.

With the efforts of the past two days, Xu Zhen urgently watched a batch of Huangmei Opera movies such as "Tianxian Pei" and "The Female Concubine", and made up for the relevant knowledge, trying to leave a good impression on Teacher Diao Yanhong.

Well, since you have decided to come to "Dangling", you have to be more serious!

……

On the morning of May 15, Xu Zhen came to Tongcheng by plane from the capital.

He didn't bring an assistant, and Chen Zhenghao said that he would come to the airport to pick him up.

However, after getting off the plane, Xu Zhen found that in addition to Chen Zhenghao, Teacher Diao Yanhong also followed.

The actor and actress came to pick up the airport in person, and this treatment is really a little scary.

After a few people got into the car, Diao Yanhong took Xu Zhen's hand, with unconcealed joy in her eyes, and smiled from ear to ear.

"Oh, this is the 'Xiao Qinghe' in my mind!"

Diao Yanhong looked Xu Zhen up and down, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and said, "It's too similar, it's so similar." ”

"As soon as my aunt saw you just now, I felt that Xiao Qinghe was standing in front of me, haha!"

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Chen Zhenghao, who was driving, and said with a smile: "How can Zhenghao be so good at choosing people!" ”

Chen Zhenghao smiled at Diao Yanhong through the inverted mirror and did not comment.

Well, Gao Jin, the director of "Three Kingdoms", also feels that seeing Xu Zhen is like seeing Zhou Yu.

And Xu Zhen himself didn't dare to take this stubble, but only secretly looked at Diao Yanhong.

Although this aunt is in her fifties, she does not look old because she is in good shape.

Danfeng eyes, thin lips, a melon seed face with soft lines, and a beautiful and dignified appearance.

It's just that because her face is too thin, her cheekbones are slightly high, she is a little bitter, and her eyes are a little fierce.

The corners of her eyebrows and eyes rose, and this feeling was slightly similar to Xu Haoyu.

If you wear makeup seriously, you will definitely be able to make a bit of a mother-child portrait.

- Very good, perfect "Mama Bear"!

Xu Zhen silently nodded in his heart.

When they met for the first time, both were extremely satisfied with each other, and the atmosphere in the car was very harmonious.

……

About half an hour later, the three of them drove to the filming set of "Plum Yellow Rain": the former site of the abandoned Huangmei Drama Theater in the local area.

There is still more than a week before the start of the movie, and the main creators of the crew have begun to rehearse here.

Seeing Xu Zhen coming, everyone stopped what they were doing and greeted him very warmly, and Xu Zhen responded with a polite smile.

At this time, I saw a tall middle-aged man wearing a costume on the stage of the theater, rehearsing some theatrical actions.

"This is the actor of our movie, Pan Yuliang," Diao Yanhong introduced to Xu Zhen, "You are playing his youth." ”

Xu Zhen nodded and turned his head to look at the stage.

I saw that this uncle was in his forties, with thick eyebrows and handsome eyes, and his appearance was very thoughtful.

To be honest, I don't look like him at all, if you want to play the same person, you can only make up for it through makeup.

He was thinking like this, and Diao Yanhong just led him to the makeup area on the sidelines.

Diao Yanhong introduced Xu Zhen to a middle-aged makeup artist and said, "This is Xiao Xu, the young man of our crew 'Xiao Qinghe'." ”

She pointed to Xu Zhen's face and said seriously: "Teacher Ma, you work hard, put on makeup well." ”

"Follow Xiao Xu like this, put on makeup for Pan Yuliang and make them look alike."

Xu Zhen: "......"

He turned his head to look at Diao Yanhong beside him.

Follow me as the male protagonist?

Auntie, are you doing the opposite? How many scenes have I played?

However, the makeup artist Mr. Ma didn't feel wrong at all, he looked Xu Zhen up and down, rubbed his hands, and said, "Hey, this is a bit difficult." ”

"I have to shave Pan's eyebrows first, and the shadows around the eyes and the bridge of the nose have to be carefully designed."

"But it shouldn't be a big problem, the ratio of the two of them is still relatively close."

Xu Zhen couldn't help but interject: "Teacher Diao? Isn't it better to reverse and turn me in the direction of Mr. Pan? ”

"After all, I only acted in three scenes, but Mr. Pan had to act the whole thing."

Diao Yanhong blinked, waved her hand and smiled: "Hey, you kid, what stupid things are you talking about!" ”

"How can anyone make people ugly!"

Xu Zhen: "......"

Well, this aunt is indeed the same as Brother Hao's explanation, and her speaking style is more unique.
