"Are you going to go into battle in person and take Jinlai to the top?"

When Li Chengru came back from washing, he saw Gu Bei sitting on the bed, scratching his ears for a while, scratching his cheeks for a while, and said with a smile.

Since the crew came to Yangzhou, they have lived in a guest house near Geyuan, the conditions are very average, and there is not even an electric fan in the room.

Gu Bei and Li Chengru lived in a room, with two beds on one side, and the other half of the room was full of various props.

"I don't have that big heart."

As he spoke, he wrote a few more lines in his notebook.

"Are there more people in the water room?"

In a humble guest house like this, you can't expect to have a separate bathroom, a public bath for bathing, and a water room at the end of the corridor where you usually wash your face and brush your teeth.

"Please, let's go later."

Li Chengru said, lying down on the bed, his eyes looking at the notebook that Gu Bei put on the bedside.

"I've been watching you write and draw for the past two days, what do you remember?"

Gu Bei didn't speak, he threw the notebook directly, in addition to the text record, there are many paintings, all of which are portraits of Sun Wukong, various expressions, and various actions.

Li Chengru was curious for several days, and today he was finally able to see what was going on, so he hurriedly opened it, and after only looking at it for a while, his face was full of surprise.

"You...... It's been studied in detail! Are you really going to replace Zhang Jinlai? ”

Isn't it meticulous!

Gu Bei can only say that he knows little about the performance, and if he wants to help the crew, the only way is to restore every look, movement, and eyes of Sun Wukong in his memory and in the "Journey to the West" he has watched.

As for whether he can understand it, that is Zhang Jinlai, and the teacher who tutored him in acting.

"Are you going to give it to Director Yang now?"

Gu Bei took the notebook back and put it away carefully.

"It's definitely not right now, I haven't finished sorting it out yet, besides, it's too late now!"

The filming of the episode "Demon Black Chicken Country" is nearing the end, and the time is also in early August, according to the requirements of the station leaders, on October 1, the National Day, this episode will be broadcast.

After the filming is done, there are editing, soundtrack, and a lot of things to do.

Even if Gu Bei showed these things to Yang Jie now, could he still shoot the scene again?

"It's too late."

These days, the leaders of the station have been urging, and Ruan Ruolin also came here once to inspect the filming progress, and the crew has been stepping up to catch up.

Like today, I was busy until more than eleven o'clock before I came back.

"I look at it and think ...... It's a little bit meaningless, but I always feel that the acting is ...... It's not what I imagined. ”

Gu Bei laughed when he heard this.

How bad is that?

If you sit on pins and needles, like a thorn in your back, like a fish in your throat?

You are only Li Chengru now, and you have not yet evolved into the complete body of the poisonous tongue Li.

"Xiao Gu, do you think we can get a good deal when we go back with this work? Can the leaders of Taiwan be satisfied? ”

Li Chengru still remembers that at the Zhuang Xing meeting at that time, Director Wang Feng proposed that as long as it could be a little better than the version of Xiaori, Yang Jie had to take it big, and said that the requirements of the director were too low.

Now what?

The big words are said, and the military order is made.

But is it really working now?

Li Chengru expressed serious doubts.

What worries him even more is that he has been busy for so long and has suffered so much, if he can't pass the trial episode, will the crew have to disperse?

If it weren't for the rebirth, Gu Bei would definitely have this kind of worry, but he knew that Yang Jie and the main creators of the crew had finally completed "Journey to the West".

Even if there are still many regrets, it does not affect "Journey to the West" to become an eternal classic.

Even compared with "Dream of Red Mansions" filmed at the same time, Gu Bei always felt that "Journey to the West" was better.

"Dream of Red Mansions" is regarded as a classic masterpiece, more because of feelings, among which the unexpected death of Sister Lin has deepened many people's impression of this play.

And "Journey to the West" is a real one, relying on quality to win the audience's reputation.

"No matter how you say it, it's a test set, the conditions are here, it can be filmed like this, what is there to be dissatisfied with the Taiwan leaders, besides, there is room for improvement in the future, if it is really perfect all of a sudden, when the time comes, the expectations of the Taiwan leaders will rise, what should we do?"

Li Chengru pouted when he listened: "Anyway, you always say, okay!" I hope everything goes well! ”

Not only Li Chengru thinks so, but all the staff in front of and behind the scenes of the crew also have the same idea.

I hope everything goes well, and in front of the leader, even if you don't get too good scores, you have to pass at the very least!

August 4th.

According to the plan, the final scenes will end today.

At the preparatory meeting, Gu Bei proposed to make each story into an episode, and the literary script was also written like this, but in the end, Yang Jie changed her mind and left a suspense at the end of this episode.

The demon Dao really turned into the appearance of Tang Seng, confusing Sun Wukong, and this is the end.

It's also helpless, Yang Jie doesn't want to finish filming this story, but it's too late in terms of time, and in the end, to subdue the demon Dao, you still need Guanyin to take action, but the actors of Guanyin can't catch up because they have performance tasks.

In addition, the crew has no money.

At the beginning, Hong Minsheng promised to give the crew of "Journey to the West" 3 million, but no one said that the money would be in place at one time.

Now it's a trial episode, so only 150,000 yuan was given, which Yang Jie has repeatedly fought for.

In a month's time, the money has been almost spent, and if it is not completed, I am afraid that there will not even be a trip back to the capital.

"Director Yang!"

Yang Jie looked up at Gu Bei.

"Let's get started!"

It doesn't look unusual, but only Yang Jie herself knows that her Zen heart is unstable at this time.

When she first came to Yangzhou, she was full of confidence, and all she thought about was that she could finally show her strength, but as the shooting deepened, her heart became more and more bottomless.

I thought I was very well prepared, but as a result, the more I photographed, the more problems I found.

Now when I go back every day to look at the footage I filmed, there is no one that can satisfy Yang Jie.

Everywhere is the problem, but what is the problem?

""Journey to the West" is the first article of the Xth scene of the Demon Black Chicken Country."

Smack!

Shooting begins.

Yang Jie stared at the picture in the monitor, hating every frame and frame by frame.

Only when you find a problem can you solve it.

Obviously, the content filmed now is not the "Journey to the West" she wants, at least there is still a big distance from what she expected.

But time waits for no one, the train ticket back to the city has been booked, and the whole group will board the train back to Beijing tonight.

If the test set can pass the examination, everything will naturally be fine, and the regrets left now can be made up for later.

But if it's ......

Everything is over.

Gu Bei watched from the side, he could feel the unrest in the old lady's heart, and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

I can't tell the other party directly: Director Yang, I'm coming back from forty years, don't worry, the trial episode is no problem, the leader is very satisfied, you are still the chief director of "Journey to the West", and you can take us to complete this classic work together in the future.

Hehe!

Demon, let the monkey give a stick to the head first.

"Good! It's over, it's done. ”

Towards noon, the last scene ended, and there was no cheering or celebration, and everyone's reaction was a long sigh of relief.

It's not easy.

If you are satisfied or dissatisfied, put it aside for the time being, during this time, everyone's hard work is obvious to all.

The living conditions are poor and the work intensity is high, except for southerners like Zhang Jinlai, most northern actors are not adapted to the local environment.

After a month, even Bajie lost weight.

It's not easy to grit your teeth and persevere.

Leave the rest to the leader.

Next, most of the people will return to the capital, and the rest will go home separately, and there will be a day when they are not reunited, let it be fate!

Anyway, if you pay it, you won't regret it.

"Teacher Zhang!"

Gu Bei took the prepared things and stopped Zhang Jinlai, who was about to remove his makeup.

"Xiao Gu, you...... What's wrong? ”

Although they have been together for a while, Zhang Jinlai himself is introverted and not very good at communicating with people, so he is still the same as before, blushing before speaking.

However, he was still wearing a mask at this time, and he couldn't see the change in his expression.

"I've prepared a little bit of stuff during this time, and I don't dare to say whether it's right or not, but I hope it can help your performance."

As he spoke, he handed over a file bag, which contained a notebook and hundreds of portraits of Sun Wukong.

Zhang Jinlai hesitated a little, but still reached out to take it.

"Xiao Gu, what is this?"

"You'll know if you've seen it, I won't delay you in removing your makeup, and it's uncomfortable enough to wear that mask."

Sun Wukong's fake face, when it was made, Gu Bei was the first to try it, after pasting it, it was hard to panting, and it was full of the unpleasant smell of latex, and it was very itchy after a long time.

But Zhang Jinlai was stunned to wear it for more than a month, and after finishing his makeup every morning, he always had to wait until the evening to finish work before he could take it off, and this perseverance alone was enough to make Gu Bei admire.

"I'll see you when the crew reconsolidates."

After Gu Bei finished speaking, he left, Zhang Jinlai was stunned, looking at the document bag in his hand, what was inside, he didn't care very much, but what Gu Bei said just now.

The crew is refocused?

Can there really be such a day?

Zhang Jinlai was also a little skeptical, like Yang Jie's mood, at the beginning, he was also full of confidence, but when he patted it, he felt vague.

He has been the most favored child in the family since he was a child, he learned monkey opera, and he also listened to praise all the way, but in the crew, what he heard the most was denial.

For a while, he has to live, and for a while, he has to have monkey spirit, and all kinds of requirements make him at a loss, and he gradually doubts himself from the self-confidence at the beginning.

Filming today, he even just wants to hurry up and go home.

"Jinlai, what are you doing? The comrades of the makeup team are waiting to remove the makeup! ”

Hearing Ma Dehua's shout, Zhang Jinlai also came back to his senses.

"Oh! Here it is, here it is! ”
