Chapter 7 Growth (Seeking Collections, Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"Even If I Miss" was filmed for three whole months, Gu Bei has not had the opportunity to show his face since he had a role with two lines on the first day, and the director seems to have forgotten the existence of Gu Bei.
In three months, Gu Bei was also completely integrated into Tan Zhuo's crew. The people in each working group also like to ask Gu Bei to help, because Gu Bei is hard-working, active, and very good at dealing with people, Gu Bei also knows a lot about the things in the crew, the props team, the lighting team, the camera team, the recording team, the makeup team, the logistics team, and the operation mode of the entire crew also has a rough idea in Gu Bei's heart.
However, in the past three months, he left a prop master and went back to his hometown to get married, Tan Zhuo asked him to come back after the wedding, but Gu Bei heard Brother Xiong say that few people who left the crew came back.
After the filming was over, the investor also settled the final payment, and today is also the time to pay salaries, counting the past three months, Gu Bei has been eating and living in the crew, and he didn't spend a penny at all, but he gained some weight.
"Xiaobei, this is yours." Tan Zhuo handed Gu Bei an envelope with Gu Bei's name written on it.
"Thank you, Brother Zhuo!" Gu Bei took it with a smile, opened it and took a look, there was a full 2,400 yuan, which was three months' salary, nearly double that of when Gu Bei was working as a part-time worker.
"Brother Zhuo, why are there so many?"
"You have 100 yuan for the role you play, and 50 yuan is a bonus, and 200 yuan is the hard work fee for the New Year.
"That's right." Gu Bei also thought that he had taken a lot, but after listening to Tan Zhuo's explanation, he knew that others might take more than himself, especially those photographers and prop masters, and those who have a craft on their bodies must be paid more.
"By the way, you can help the props team later." Tan Zhuo also made a new arrangement, and then shouted at Wang Yi, the prop master on the other side, "Lao Wang, Xiaobei will go to the props group in the future, you take him with you." ”
"Okay!" Wang Yi, who also had just received his salary, also agreed with a smile on his face.
During the meal, Gu Bei asked again: "Brother Zhuo, where are we going next?" ”
"I'm here today, and tomorrow I'll go to the Tongli Film and Television Base in Suzhou to shoot a costume drama." Tan Zhuo thought for a moment, and then said loudly to everyone, "Give me your ID card after eating, I'll buy a train ticket, pack up the equipment tonight, and we'll leave tomorrow!" ”
"Understood, Brother Zhuo!"
After the meal, Gu Bei took the passbook and the 2,400 yuan salary he had just gotten, went to a nearby bank, and after depositing the money, Gu Bei also found a public phone booth and called the old man.
"Hey!" Little Lori's voice suddenly came out, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Master, it's me, I'm looking for your grandfather." Gu Bei said with a smile, and then asked, "Did you receive the doll I sent you?" Do you like it? ”
"I don't want to talk to you, grandpa says you're a jerk."
"......" Gu Bei choked for a moment, if the old man was by his side, it was estimated that Gu Beidu would have started unceremoniously.
"Hey, stinky boy, didn't die outside, did you?" The old man's voice came out, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was another critical blow.
Gu Bei took a deep breath and said not to be outdone: "Old man, you are not dead, how can I die, what about you?" Not in a wheelchair, right? ”
"Drag your blessing, I'm still tough, and you can still be angry with the old man for a few more years."
"I'm going to be angry with you for years." Gu Bei said with a smile, "You're still used to moving over, right?" ”
"It's comfortable, it's just too quiet."
"Don't think too much about the elderly, live quietly for a few more years, by the way, have you quit smoking?"
"Quit it! The old man did what he said, and hurriedly called grandpa. ”
"I've quit a long time ago, okay? Bet I haven't smoked a cigarette since that day, so hurry up, call my brother, and buy you candy to eat. ”
The old man was silent for a moment, and roared: "Get out!" ”
The huge voice made Gu Bei couldn't help but take the earpiece a little farther away, and immediately replied: "I haven't settled accounts with you yet, why are you slandering my tall and mighty image in front of my teacher?" You're a bastard, old bastard! ”
"Little bastard!"
"Old bastard!"
"Little bastard!"
Taking a deep breath, Gu Bei hung up the phone scoldingly, and almost threw away the tea he had just bought, calmed down for a while, Gu Bei pressed a few more numbers: "Hello, 213 call 9527, type two words, Xiaobei, Beiping's north." ”
A few minutes later, Zhang Jiayi returned the phone.
"Xiaobei, it's going well in the crew, right?" There was a hint of tiredness in Zhang Jiayi's voice.
"Brother Jiayi, I'm fine here, I just finished filming a movie." Gu Bei replied, and asked with concern, "Are you filming over there?" ”
"Well, I just finished work for a while, by the way, I bought a mobile phone, you remember the number, and then you can call me directly on my mobile phone, no need to page."
"Hmm!"
“987xxxxxxxx。”
"987xxxxxxxx, okay, I've got it."
"Hmm." Zhang Jiayi responded, and then said, "You study hard in the crew, and I'll prepare some materials for you for the art exam when I go back and send it to you." ”
"Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Jiayi, but Brother Jiayi, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?"
"Are there any related books that are suitable for me to read?"
"Well, I think about it...... "Fundamentals of Film and Television Performance" and "Fundamentals of Drama Performance" are commonly used textbooks in the acting department, in addition to "Film and Television Performance Language Skills", which is also read by many people, and there is a very famous acting textbook, Stanislavsky's "Actor's Self-cultivation".
"Okay, got it."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Jiayi continued: "Xiaobei, it's not enough to just read books, you can also go to the cinema to watch some movies if you have time, analyze the characters in it more, and then see what is desirable about the performances of the corresponding actors." ”
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen a movie since I heard it." Gu Bei smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Jiayi, then I won't bother, you are busy with yours, rest early." ”
After hanging up the phone, Gu Bei also found the post office and sent the hairy tip he had just bought to the old man.
After taking care of everything, Gu Bei also rushed to a nearby town by car, bought a few books, and asked for a long time before finding the only movie theater within a radius of dozens of miles.
"Hello, do you have any good movies lately?" Gu Bei walked to the ticket gate and asked the young girl inside.
The girl raised her head and glanced at Gu Bei, and saw that Gu Bei was very handsome, and her cheeks were slightly rosy: "There is a film from abroad called "True Lies", which is watched by a lot of people, and the evaluation is not bad, and there is also a Jiang Wen's "Sunny Day", which is also watched by quite a few people, and I heard that it has also won awards abroad." ”
When Gu Bei heard this, he also learned some information about these two movies from the memory of HC Old Demon, "True Lies" is the first Hollywood film to enter the mainland market, and it is also the proud work of Cameron and Schwarzenegger's cooperation, which can be called a classic among the action movie classics in the 90s.
"Sunny Days" is Jiang Wen's directorial debut, with a very high artistic level, which directly achieved Jiang Wen and Xia Yu, a nomination for the Golden Lion Award, and a Venice Film Festival Best Actor.
"Both movies are quite interesting." Gu Bei pondered for a moment and asked, "When will the movie theater close?" ”
"Tonight at half past eleven."
"Then give me two tickets, "True Lies" and "Sunny Day", and it would be good if the two movies could be connected in time."
"Okay." The girl quickly issued two movie tickets, "a total of 7 yuan." ”
"Thank you!" With that, Gu Bei handed over the money and turned around and entered the cinema.
"True Lies" was very awkward to see Gu Bei at first, probably the influence of HC Old Demon, this Chinese dubbing made Gu Bei always play at the beginning, but soon, Gu Bei was immersed in it.
Cameron is also worthy of being a master of the movie, the action scenes are shot with climaxes, Schwarzenegger's figure and smooth action scenes are also two major highlights, and other audiences also cheer from time to time, and their breathing is also heavier at the climax. However, the addition of a trace of special effects in the movie made Gu Bei a little regretful, and there was a lot less shock, which also reminded Gu Bei of the action superstar Cheng Long, who likes to use stunts and basically does not use special effects.
After watching the whole "True Lies" carefully, Gu Bei remembered the movie rhythm mentioned in a book he had read before, "True Lies" is undoubtedly a successful commercial film, Cameron's control of the rhythm really shocked Gu Bei for a while, but Gu Bei only felt Cameron's hearty rhythm, far from exploring deeper things, there are many things to learn.
Jiang Wen's "Sunny Days" tells a story in the early seventies, Gu Bei was born in 79, and his understanding of that period of history only comes from books, but Jiang Wen's use of light makes Gu Bei unconsciously immersed in it, feeling that period of youth and ideals. After watching it, the whole movie gave Gu Bei the feeling of being an overnight meal, and he took it out and fried it, with a little less water, but the more he ate, the more chewy it became, and the more aftertaste it was, the more Gu Bei was shocked by the all-encompassing behind this movie.
"I didn't care to watch movies before, but now I have discovered the charm of this majestic art, and Jiang Wen and Cameron deserve to be called film masters." Gu Bei, who walked out of the cinema, thought about it, and kept reminiscing about the heartiness brought by "True Lies" and the careful thinking and horror brought by "Sunny Day", and did not forget to analyze the character performances here, which was written in the book, and it was also what Zhang Jiayi told Gu Bei to do and learn.
