"That's it."

When Jing Tian and the two came back after putting on makeup, Zhang Yimou just glanced at it and settled down directly.

Temperament is a combination of a person's long-term inner cultivation balance and cultural cultivation, which is the result of perseverance from the inside out.

It is a person's cultivation, morality, behavior, manners, treatment of others, and even something that is subconsciously revealed by a smile.

That feeling of camouflage can't be disguised, or even if it can be camouflaged, it can't hide from Zhang Yimou's eyes.

In this regard, Zhang Yimou is definitely a grandmaster-level figure, whether it is Gong Li in "Red Sorghum" or Zhang Ziyi in "My Father and Mother", or Lin Miaoke at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Ni Ni in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", and even Wei Minzhi in "No One is Missing", Zhang Yimou can always discover what he wants in these actresses, and no more, no less, appropriate.

is like the cat-like charm on Ni Ni, except for Zhang Yimou, other directors not only can't control it, but they can't even reproduce it.

This is also the reason why Ni Ni never had any outstanding works later.

And now Zhang Yimou takes a fancy to the simplicity of Jing Tian.

As we all know, Zhang Yimou is the most fond of finding new actors, and even a big director who is an outsider to be the heroine, and he became popular as soon as he shot it, so the word "Mou Girl" was born.

The reason why this is so is because the newcomer has not been polished, or has not yet had time to mix in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, and a blank sheet of paper is the best to paint.

As for Jing Tian, it is because she is well protected, and this girl has a big heart, she has always eaten and drunk, and she doesn't take anything to heart.

So Zhang Yimou actually made a decision when he saw her for the first time, otherwise he wouldn't have let her try on makeup.

To put it bluntly, what is there to try? It's not a cosmetic show.

One look at it feels right, that's her.

Jing Tian almost jumped up, this is Zhang Yimou!

"Thank you, Director!" Jing Tian instantly smiled, happy like a child, she subconsciously grabbed her kitten's arm, and then remembered that the auditioner and her own Li kitten, and hurriedly asked, "Director, what do you think of him?" ”

Zhang Yimou finally smiled, and he didn't know if he was infected by Jing Tian's smile or because he had finally found an actor, he nodded and said with a smile: "Well, let's settle it together." ”

Li Qing didn't know that he was just a partner, and he thanked the director when he heard the words.

Zhang Yimou is very busy, and at his point, he can't squeeze in when he rushes to find him in terms of funds and scripts.

So don't look at "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" and say that it took a few months to cast, but that's all about the team, he just needs to flip through the photos and watch the video.

And of course, as soon as he made a decision on his side, the progress of the preparation was full and he quickly forwarded.

It has a mature team, it's that simple.

Whether it is the scenery, scenery, props, and logistics, under the premise of Zhang Yimou's requirements in the early stage, the team has been preparing since the end of October last year, and they have all been completed so far.

So the actors here have just been down, and the schedule has been coordinated before half a month's work, and Li Qing and Jing Tian have directly entered the group.

Of course, this is also the common will of both sides.

I talked about this when I signed the contract.

Li Qing and Jing Tian are because "Sword Rain" is still waiting in June, and Zhang Yimou is also in a hurry.

In fact, the movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" belongs to the project of cutting the queue.

"Blood Labyrinth", that is, "Three Shots of Eucalyptus Surprise" and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", the two films actually began to be prepared in 08, but because of the Olympics, Zhang Yimou, as the chief director, could only push these two plays back.

"The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is actually a latecomer, but considering the difficulty of preparation and shooting, as well as some other factors, "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was brought to the front to start filming.

Therefore, compared with those little directors who are looking for funds everywhere and have no way to invest, they can only be said to have died of drought and waterlogged.

After joining the group, Li Qing and Jing Tian knew what a profession was, or why Zhang Yimou was Zhang Yimou.

To put it simply, before the start of filming, the shooting plan can be detailed to a scene, even a prop, everything can be formed on paper, and after arriving on the set, there is no need for a command at all, everyone knows what they should do.

The whole crew is like a sophisticated machine, full of beauty.

Compared with the crew that Li Qing stayed in before, Zhang Yimou's crew is more like a company.

Let's talk about the department of the director's office, it is clearly the president's office!

Li Qing was almost dumbfounded.

After joining the group, Li Qing called the company directly, communicated with the crew, and sent a small team to learn from the experience.

To be honest, Li Qing wanted to dig into the wall.

Especially Zhang Yimou's office director Pang Liwei, assistant directors Pu Lun, and Zang Qiwu are all generals who can take charge on their own.

"Tian Xiaobao, do you know what is most important in the 21st century?"

Jing Tianzheng was eating a small snack while reading the script, and said casually: "What? Talent? ”

"That's right! It's talent. Li Qingyi slapped his face and sat up from the recliner, "Look at these people under Director Zhang, Sister Xiaowei, Sister Pulun, they are all talents who can hold up half the sky!" ”

"Hey, I've heard you praise me from afar!" Pu Lun walked over with a fruit plate, pointed at the people from Starlight Film and Television Company, and said with a smile, "Qingzi, are you here to make a movie, or are you here to steal teachers?" ”

"Don't delay." Li Qing got up and gave up his position, and said courteously, "Sister Lun, I'm causing you trouble." ”

"It's not a problem." Pu Lun didn't sit down according to Li Qing's wishes, pressed his shoulder, let him sit back, and said with a smile, "But the director asked me to ask, the crew will officially start shooting in two days, how are you preparing?" ”

Li Qingdao said: "I have no problem here. I almost memorized the lines. ”

"Hmm." Pu Lun nodded, took a strawberry and handed it to Jing Tian, and asked, "What about you?" ”

Jing Tian nodded hurriedly: "I'm almost the same." ”

"That'll do." Pu Lun raised his hand to look at the time, and said, "Later, the director will organize a meeting for everyone, and all the main creators are here, tell you to make preparations in advance." ”

Li Qing was puzzled: "Meeting? Discuss the script or? ”

"Almost, the main thing is to let you recognize people first, Teacher Li Xuejian and Teacher Xi Meijuan They also joined the group today, and some other actors also arrived, the director means that the big guys get together and chat."

"Okay, then we get it. Thank you, Sister Lun. ”

"It's okay, then you can continue to read the script, and I'll let you know later."

“ok！”

……

When Li Qing and Jing Tian arrived, there were not many people in the conference room.

Except for Zhang Yimou, most of them are crew members, and the actors have not yet arrived.

In fact, in Zhang Yimou's crew, no matter how big the name is, there is no big name for Zhang Yimou himself, which is not only about the status in the circle, but also about the influence in the minds of ordinary audiences.

When I first joined the group two days ago, the villagers here in Yuan'an, Yichang lined up one by one to take a photo with Zhang Yimou.

And Li Qing and Jing Tian also saw the other side of Zhang Yimou, who treated people gently and smiled.

"Tiantian, Qingzi is here, come and sit!" Zhang Yimou put down the notebook in his hand and beckoned to the two of them.

"Good director." Li Qing and Jing Tian greeted each other and leaned over and sat down on the chair next to Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "It looks like the state is not bad, the conditions here are a little poor, can you adapt to it?" ”

Li Qing smiled: "We feel very good, the air here is much better than Yanjing." ”

"Haha, that's right." Zhang Yimou smiled and nodded, "After reading the script, what do you think?" ”

Jing Tian nodded obediently and said, "It's good." I've memorized all my lines. ”

"Haha, I didn't say that. Tiantian, don't be too restrained, filming, just have fun and fun. Zhang Yimou nodded at Li Qing with a smile, "Learn from Qingzi, I heard that you still want to dig me?" ”

Li Qing's face turned red all of a sudden, and he waved his hand awkwardly: "I don't have it, director, Sister Lun usually takes care of us, so I'll express my concern." ”

Pu Lun handed a bottle of water to each of them, and quipped: "Then I thank you, but my sister's treatment is very good, but I didn't think about changing jobs." ”

The matter of Li Qing digging the foot of the wall has always been just an idea, but Jing Tian, a stupid girl, really went to ask Pulun, and it turned out to be a joke in the crew within two days.

Li Qing closed his eyes in pain: "Director, Sister Lun, I was wrong." ”

"Hahahaha......" Everyone in the conference room cheered.

Even Jing Tian, the culprit, didn't hold back his laughter.

"You're still laughing!" Li Qing pinched her face helplessly.

After a few days of getting along, Li Qing felt that Zhang Yimou was very good, generous and tolerant.

I don't know if the company's people have communicated with Zhang Yimou or why, Li Qing always has a feeling that Zhang Yimou is treating himself and Jing Tian as juniors, and even children.

Li Qing saw that everyone was laughing, and quickly changed the topic: "Director, I watched the original work of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" in the past two days, and I feel that the script seems to have changed a lot?" ”

"You?" Zhang Yimou frowned, looked at Jing Tian, and asked, "Tian Tian also saw it?" ”

Jing Tian said: "I didn't finish reading it, but I followed it a little when Li Xiaoqing watched it." ”

"Oh, don't read it if you haven't finished reading it."

Jing Tian was stunned when he heard this: "Huh? Why? ”

"Just listen to me." Zhang Yimou didn't answer her question, looked at Li Qing, and said with a smile: "Qingzi, I heard that you have also published a book?" ”

Li Qing almost didn't keep up with his thinking, and scratched his head a little embarrassed when he heard this: "My nonsense can't be elegant." ”

"No, no, no, from your point of view, how do you think the original work compares to our current script?"

"Forehead......" Li Qing looked at Zhang Yimou, then at Jing Tian, thought about it and said, "How can I say this, my personal feeling is that the script is better." ”

Zhang Yimou smiled: "Let's talk about it specifically." ”

Pu Lun also laughed: "Don't make a fool of yourself, the screenwriter is not here." ”

Li Qing said helplessly: "I don't make a fool of myself, I really like the story in the script more, because it is more subtle than the original." And more importantly, Jingqiu in the original work didn't make me feel cute. ”

Pu Lun said: "Remind me, the original work is very popular." ”

"......" Li Qing shrugged speechlessly, "I just want to express my personal opinion, radish and cabbage, each has its own love!"

I'll be blunt, the most important reason why I don't like the original work is that the author's words always make me feel a little hormonal smell, which I don't like.

I still prefer the script in comparison. The relationship between the male and female protagonists is warm and forbearing, and it is very clean. I especially like it. ”

Pu Lun smiled: "Haha, then you coincide with the director." ”

Zhang Yimou also nodded: "Regarding the script, in fact, we have discussed it with many people before, and the current script has been changed many times. ”

"I also like the current script." Jing Tian also raised his little hand to express his opinion, looking stupid and cute.

The crowd burst out laughing.

Pu Lun teased her: "Tiantian, why do you like the current script?" ”

"As far as I feel, I can see Li Xiaoqing and my shadow in them. Especially this [third child], it is very similar to Li Xiaoqing when he chased me, his inner feelings are very warm, and he is timid when he shows it, which is quite cute. ”

Li Qing was blushed by Jing Xiaotian with a serious face: "Jing Xiaotian, why do you say everything?" Isn't it stupid? ”

Jing Tian was a little unreasonable, and whispered and twisted him: "You are stupid!" ”

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed again, and the room was filled with cheerful air for a while.

It didn't take long for others to arrive.

Li Xuejian, Xi Meijuan, Wang Jinsong, Sun Haiying and others are all seniors and veterans with deep qualifications.

As soon as these people arrived, the two juniors, Li Qing and Jing Tian, became restrained.

Fortunately, Wang Jinsong is the deputy dean of the Acting School of Yenching Film Academy, and Li Qing and Jing Tian have also dealt with this photo before, and they can be regarded as finding their parents for a while.

And the circle is already small, and you can always find acquaintances and topics when you climb around, especially after the actors who play Jingqiu's younger brothers and sisters and the third brother also arrive, Li Qing and Jing Tian have become seniors again, chatting and joking, but they quickly became acquainted.

After all the actors joined the group, the crew officially started filming.

"Love in the Hawthorn Tree" itself is about a love story in the 70s.

At that time, young couples did not even dare to hold hands, but dared to sit side by side on the hillside or on a park bench, reading books, exchanging ideas, sharing excerpts, or sending each other poems written by themselves.

That kind of love is passionate and forbearing.

And the reason why Zhang Yimou wants to express it like this is because he feels that this kind of pure thing is precisely what the current society and times lack.

This is also his artistic pursuit.

Just like he once said: The older the children are, the uglier they are, because the beautiful girls no longer fall in love with the handsome guys and have children, they all go to those coal bosses, rich people, and old men, what is this, this is a bad atmosphere!

So Zhang Yimou actually likes Li Qing and Jing Tian, a young couple.

The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is eye-catching when you look at it, who doesn't like it?

And what he didn't expect was that these two people were also like fish in water when filming.
