Chapter 290: Special Services
June 19th.
The day before the start of filming.
The houses on both sides of the quiet road are close to each other, and the thick and tall old trees are like giants guarding the sides, and only the fragments of sunlight can escape the green leaves and sprinkle on the road.
"Old man, Sister Zhang has come to see you again...... Yo, this young master is your grandson? ”
The middle-aged man passing by greeted You Benchan, and judging from the tone, he was very familiar with You Benchan.
"Hey, haha, yes, come and see me, haha."
You Benzan looked at Qin Muchu, the "grandson" on the side, and couldn't help laughing twice.
Gong Li also looked at his extra "son" with a smile.
The middle-aged man glanced back and forth at Qin Muchu, feeling very familiar, but he couldn't remember it, and in the end it was only due to the fact that he was too handsome and pleasing to the eye.
As soon as his eyes rolled, he thought:
"This kid is so handsome, how old is he? Have you talked about a girlfriend? ”
You Benzan and Gong Li were stunned for a moment, and then Gong Li was the first to react, covering his mouth and holding back a smile:
"My son is still young, he just graduated from college a few days ago, and he didn't have time to find a girlfriend."
Hearing this, the man's mind lightened slightly, and his daughters had graduated for two years.
But thinking about "female freshman, hug the golden rooster; Female sophomore, holding gold nuggets; Female junior, hugging gold bricks; Female senior, hold Ruyi", the most important thing is that this young man is a talent, and he can't miss it.
Then he smiled and said:
"Oh, I just graduated, what are you studying, have you found a job? I know somebody, maybe I can help. ”
Gong Li smiled even more happily, silently Qin Muchu's head:
"I found it, and I became a teacher at a university."
University Teacher!?
The middle-aged man's eyes were about to shine, and he was excited under strong pressure:
"Sister Zhang, it's time for dinner, why don't you come to my house to eat some together, I just bought some food."
"Haha, no need, next time, we also cooked today."
Gong Li was still taking advantage of Qin Muchu, and after the two pulled again, the middle-aged man made an appointment to "go to his house for dinner next time", and then he left step by step.
"I've seen his daughter, she's very beautiful."
Gong Li teased Qin Muchu.
Qin Muchu shook his head speechlessly:
"I have a girlfriend."
And it's three.
Three against one, you have no chance of winning.
Not to mention that Yang Mi alone can dismantle a set of grappling techniques for you.
However, the scene just now made Qin Muchu feel a little.
Gong Li and Mr. You Ben lived in this old community a month ago to play father and daughter and experience life, and now they seem to be successful and fully integrated here.
Especially Gong Li, Qin Muchu almost didn't recognize her when he saw her for the first time.
When it comes to Gong Li's image, whether it is "soil" or "empress", there is a characteristic, that is, long hair.
And now Gong Li's long hair has become short ear-length hair.
This was not requested by Qin Muchu, but by Gong Li himself.
She feels that taking care of such an old man must not have much time to take care of her hair, and it is inconvenient to do things with long hair, and the most important thing is that short hair is also conducive to creating a capable and neat image of the character.
After communicating with Qin Muchu, he cut his hair.
There is not a hint of pretentiousness.
Such a subversive image from the past, coupled with her generous and undisguised speech and demeanor, even if others think that she and Gong Li look alike, after being denied, they will not suspect anything.
She has become a character.
Seeing the state of the two, Qin Muchu was relieved.
The most important part of this drama is there.
……
"Director Qin, according to your request, we will paint the room yellow, and then these furniture are all from the second-hand market, it will definitely be long enough."
Ma Debiao took Qin Muchu to visit the "You Ben Advocate House".
The film has a total of three scenes, namely "Father You Ben's House", "Daughter Gongli's House", and "Nursing Home".
Qin Muchu gave detailed drawings for the three houses, and asked Ma Debiao to find them as required.
Of course, it's not to find the exact same house in the drawings, but the house type is roughly the same, and the remaining details are redecorated according to the drawings.
And finding the "father's house" is equivalent to finding the "daughter's house", the two are basically the same, the biggest difference is the color of the wall and floor and some furniture.
So the "daughter's house" is downstairs.
"Call the gaffer."
Qin Muchu stood in the corridor connecting the living room of the room to the room, looked at the innermost master bedroom, and said suddenly.
"Okay."
Ma Debiao answered, and soon the gaffer was called to the side.
"Director Qin, you look for me."
"Well, look ahead."
Qin Muchu pointed to the master bedroom at the end of the corridor:
"When the light is on, the further you go inside, the darker it gets, but not all black, it should be hazy and you can see clearly, it gives me a very deep feeling, like a tunnel with no end in sight, you know?"
"Okay."
The gaffer nodded without hesitation.
Qin Muchu's conditions were very specific, and he didn't ask for any colorful black.
"There's the living room, this sofa."
Qin Muchu pointed to the sofa facing the window,
"This sofa should be able to shine in the sun, but it is not very dazzling, the sunset, the sofa next to it can be appropriately darker, there is a contrast ......"
After some arrangements, Qin Muchu adjusted the details, and then went downstairs to check the "daughter's house".
The house is relatively much more modern, the wall color has changed to light blue, and the whole decoration style is also cold.
Old Man You and Gong Li are visiting their filming set tomorrow in the house, Gong Li is very familiar with the room, she came here half a month ago to get acquainted with it.
But Old Man You didn't.
Qin Muchu deliberately let him experience life in another place, instead of the old house where he lived for more than forty years in the movie, in order to keep him feeling both familiar and unfamiliar with the house.
"Doll, why can't this door be opened?"
Old Man You pulled a doorknob, twisted it and pulled it back without any response, looking at Qin Muchu suspiciously.
"Old man, this door is fake, except for a few bedrooms, many other doors are fake." Qin Muchu said with a smile.
The house has a lot of doors and a variety of half-opened closets that look like a labyrinth.
It's also to create a sense of loss, and the people who live inside feel like they're trapped.
Qin Muchu explained to the old man, and the old man nodded suddenly and praised:
"It's not easy, it's not easy."
"That is, the layout color in this room, as soon as I came in, I felt a kind of suppressed calmness, and there are other feelings I haven't seen for the time being, your color ability is no worse than Yimou." Gong Li shook his head in admiration.
has cooperated with Zhang Yimou for many years, because of Zhang Yimou's dedication to color in movies, she is also very sensitive to color.
The colors in the film are not used randomly, and often imply the feelings or other hints that the director wants to express.
Looking at Qin Muchu, he sighed with some emotion, how could anyone be so young to reach such a point.
"I also learned from Director Zhang, and I was far worse than Director Zhang." Qin Muchu said modestly.
I learned part of it from Zhang Yimou when I was in "Inception", and later I also read books and movies to study, and when I met someone I didn't understand, I called Lao Mouzi to ask.
This kind of extravagant learning mode of "national teachers" as personal tutors for themselves is difficult to make progress without.
"Don't be modest, this thing still depends on personal understanding, his understanding is there, it's already over, you are better than blue."
Gong Li unceremoniously commented on Lao Mouzi with a "derogatory" meaning.
Russia's tone changed, with some anger, and with a bit of sarcasm:
"If he can come up with it in the future, I guess he has taught you, and I think an Olympics has exhausted his talent."
Qin Muchu immediately squinted and looked away.
Regarding Gong Li's attitude similar to "hating iron does not make steel", he knows the reason and can fully understand it, but he can't agree with it.
These days, he found that Gong Li is a person who is biased towards artistry.
She treats film as a work of art with respect.
It's not that Gong Li only likes art films, she also accepts commercial films, but there has to be something in it.
Like "Inception", she is full of praise.
For its plot arrangement, picture impact, as well as the editing of the movie, and the use of lenses, he gave a high evaluation.
This kind of movie is sincere, and the audience can feel it from every detail.
Gong Li is disgusted by the kind of insincere, pure popcorn movies, such as ...... "Three Guns".
Under the "coincidence", she learned the script of "Three Guns" and the arrangement of some plots in it.
Surprised and incredulous.
I asked Lao Mouzi to read the script, and then I started to be weird with Lao Mouzi.
"He's making money with your reputation, do you know? Your Olympic reputation is gone this time! ”
This is a sentence from Gong Li's phone call to Lao Mouzi, in front of Qin Muchu, he didn't avoid it at all.
Then Qin Muchu slipped away.
It's obvious who Gong Li is referring to by "he".
He didn't want to get involved in the grievances and hatreds of "two Zhang and one Gong".
As for the grievances between him and Zhang Weiping, it will definitely not be settled like this.
But I have to find a good time to be ruthless, the kind that will make Zhang Weiping remember it for a lifetime at one time!
……
In the evening, Qin Muchu returned to the hotel with the crew.
The hotel is not far away, just across the street from the community.
In fact, this film was filmed in Yanjing, and it is not a remote place, so it stands to reason that the actors can go home and live.
But there's a question of state.
The actors finally got into the role, and if there was only a two-point line between the set and the hotel, it would not be easy to play.
And going home is more disturbing, relatives, children...... From "role" to "self" again.
Staying in a hotel is nothing more than spending a little more.
It's really just a little.
Because there are very few actors in the crew, there are only twelve actors who have only one shot, and only six of them really have a certain role.
And if you are more serious, only three of these six people have more roles - father, daughter, and ex-son-in-law.
As soon as Qin Muchu arrived at the hotel, his ex-son-in-law arrived.
"Teacher Chen, it's been a long time."
Qin Muchu looked at the man in front of him and smiled.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm delayed, otherwise it would have been yesterday."
Chen Daomin apologized repeatedly.
"Look at what you said, your willingness to play this role has helped me a lot." Qin Muchu said sincerely.
The role of the son-in-law in the movie has a lot of roles, but compared with the two roles of father and daughter, it is much worse.
And this role is not very likable, and it doesn't reflect the acting skills, it belongs to the existence of chicken ribs.
There is no need for Chen Daomin's coffee position to wade into this troubled water, and Qin Muchu didn't think about finding a big coffee to act, but Chen Daomin took the initiative to find him, because he heard that he could play against Gong Li and Old Man You.
Then Qin Muchu naturally wouldn't let it go.
His movie is quite famous in the circle, not because of the large investment in "Inception", but because of too many powerful factions.
Old Man You's male and Gong Li's female are small-cost, which is almost an art film.
Many powerful actors are interested in this, in addition to Chen Daomin, there is also a big name who also took the initiative to contact Qin Muchu, and he is willing to act regardless of salary.
It's just that her role is very late, and she hasn't joined the group yet.
Chen Daomin chatted with Qin Muchu for a while, and then he said that he was going to "visit Old Man You to make amends" and walked away.
Qin Muchu went back to his room and didn't go with him.
He also had to sort out his ideas for tomorrow's shoot, and there were a lot of things that needed to be refined to make sure he didn't go wrong.
Time passed unconsciously, Qin Muchu stopped his pen, rubbed his eyes and prepared to rest.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
He got up and walked to the door, habitually looking through the cat's eye first.
No way, his reputation is too big now, and this hotel is not very high-end, and the security measures may not be very tight.
In case it's the paparazzi, it's troublesome.
But the cat's eyes were dark, as if they had been blocked.
Qin Muchu frowned and became vigilant.
"Who?"
"Sir, do you need special services?"
The voice was strange, as if he was deliberately pinching his throat to become thrivel.
But Qin Muchu smiled and deliberately made a puzzled voice:
"Ah, didn't you say half an hour later?"
