"Happy Birthday!"

"Yo, thank you for remembering my birthday, I thought you wouldn't be in touch with me again."

One bite at a time, talking with a gun and a stick, Li Tang held the mobile phone with a puzzled expression.

"What do you mean?"

February 27 is the ex-girlfriend's twenty-fifth birthday, which is her first birthday after the breakup, and the relationship between the two is somewhat disconnected, so it is reasonable to make a phone call to say hello.

I didn't expect to be choked, I didn't contact each other for half a year after the breakup dinner last year, and this time I was only separated for a few days.

"You ask me, I want to ask you, what do you mean?"

"I kindly wish you a happy birthday, you are yin and yang, where did I offend you?"

"Blame me? Also, you are about to become a big star, and big stars have a circle of big stars, so you don't hesitate to take care of ......"

"Wait, wait, wait, what a big star...... Oh, you've heard of it all? ”

Li Tang couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and after a long time of sour words, it turned out that it was because of this.

"You're still laughing, you didn't even notify me of such a big news."

"What's the notice, do you want to show you?"

"Sharing, is sharing understand? Am I still not going to see you? "The ex-girlfriend raised her voice on the phone.

You just can't see that I'm better than you!

Li Tang secretly complained in his heart, but he couldn't help laughing out loud.

He knows each other too well, his ex-girlfriend has always been strong, if he hears that he has become the leading actor of the Shanghai Film Studio's gift film, he will definitely go crazy, and he is really jealous and unrecognizable.

"Laugh, laugh fart!"

Li Tang originally wanted to tease her, but someone on the set called and said busily: "Okay, I won't talk to you, I'm filming." ”

Then he added: "Oh yes, I'll give you a suggestion, don't keep learning from other people's Beijing films, it sounds awkward, I always feel like a big ballast!" ”

After speaking, he closed the phone cover with a "snap".

Sample, don't give her any chance to fight back.

The filming location of "Shanghai Chronicle" is in the suburban film and television park. It is mainly composed of Nanjing Road, Shikumen Lane Group, Waibaidu Bridge, Mahler Villa, wharf, church, square and so on. It fully restores the architectural style of old Shanghai in the twenties and thirties, but it is not a 1:1 restoration, but it is reduced in an appropriate proportion, and the overall look is a little cramped and not atmospheric enough.

It has been 11 days since the movie started on the 16th, and the early stage was mainly to shoot some street scenes and group scenes, such as student parades, looting supplies, and scenes such as the People's Liberation Army entering the city.

The filming of this kind of scene often requires the mobilization of various departments of the crew to work together, so that the entire crew can be fully run-in, commonly known as "grinding shots".

In these years, there was no concept of professional group performances, and most of the extras were from the surrounding villages, and there were also some important big scenes, such as the People's Liberation Army entering the city, using real troops.

There are a lot of scenes of Li Tang in these group scenes, and these days he has been mixed in the group performances, and he has also found a lot of interesting things. In the group performance, there are one or two lines, or there are frontal shots, they are actually some familiar faces, which have often appeared in classic movies produced by Shanghai studios in the past few decades. None of them are the protagonists, and they often appear as supporting characters or villains in movies.

They are all from the actor troupe of Shanghai Film Studio, which can be regarded as professional green leaves, and some of them have even retired. For them, acting is work, regardless of the size of the role, and they are conscientious. And there is a subsidy every day for filming, and everyone is happy to do it.

Today's filming is the first rivalry between Li Tang and Yuan Quan. The location is in a bar; The plot is that Yuan Quan plays Li Huirong and rescues Guo Shaobai played by Li Tang from prison, and for the rest of his life, Li Huirong comforts Guo Shaobai.

The set for the bar has been completed, the cinematographers and lighting are busy focusing and adjusting the lighting, and the assistant director is busy lecturing the waiters standing at the counter.

On the counter is an antique gramophone, which is a large speaker with a box, which does not need to be plugged in, and can work by shaking it, and it is purely manual and mechanical, and it is said that it can really play vinyl records.

This gramophone, including the antique furniture, decorations and other props in the bar, is the family foundation accumulated by Shanghai Film Studio since its establishment in the 20s.

In the end, it is profound, for example, the clothing department in the factory is about to catch up with a small clothing factory, and this time the costumes of the main characters are tailored according to the characteristics of the era.

"Xiao Li, no problem, right?"

Director Peng Xiaolian came to the scene.

"Director, no problem."

After these days of filming, Li Tang has seen how this kind-looking female director is resolute on the set. Come to think of it, if you don't have this kind of courage, it is impossible to control such a huge crew.

Peng Xiaolian nodded, after reading the script and filming the previous group scenes, she was basically relieved of Li Tang.

"What about Yuan Quan, okay?"

"Alright, Director, I'm here."

Yuan Quan, who had just finished painting makeup and changed his clothes, hurriedly ran in.

Peng Xiaolian looked at Yuan Quan's costume and makeup, and made sure that there was no problem before nodding and saying, "Okay, you guys prepare first, and start filming in a while." ”

Yuan Quan walked up to Li Tang tremblingly, glanced at Director Peng, who was discussing the lens with the photographer, and whispered, "Brother Li, let's match the words again." ”

"I've got it right several times in the morning, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

Li Tang turned his head to look at her and said, "Why are you so nervous?" You can't do it in this state, you will die when you start shooting for a while, you have to relax, relax. ”

Yuan Quan cried and said, "I know, but I just can't control it." ”

Li Tang knew that this was a common problem for newcomers, and when he faced the camera for the first time, he always couldn't restrain his nervousness. That's how he came back then.

comforted: "No problem, you were in a very good state when you spoke to me in the morning, and I felt that you had no problem at all." ”

Yuan Quan didn't say anything, just lowered her head, and peeked at the director and the camera from time to time.

"Hey, you drink some of this." Li Tang pointed to the wine glass on the table.

"What, wine?"

"Coke, the steam is running out."

The props were served, and the out-of-gas Coke was passed off as foreign wine.

"Can you drink it, it's a prop."

"Of course you can drink it."

Li Tang picked up the cup and dried it in one gulp, licked his lips, and said with a smile: "It's very sweet, sweetness can make people feel happy, so that people can relax, you try." ”

Yuan Quan wasn't sure if Li Tang was talking nonsense, her nervous mood made her a little overwhelmed, and she picked up the cup and took a sip. The sparkling Coke tasted sweet, but it did feel a little better after drinking it, and she couldn't help but take another sip, and another sip, and actually drank it all.

"Brother Wang, pour a little more." Li Tang turned around and shouted to the waiter standing at the counter.

That's right, the waiter who acts as a backdrop is a temporary cameo by the crew's prop assistant.

Brother Wang took out a large bottle of Coke from under the counter, walked over and poured half a cup, and muttered, "Drink less, this is a prop." ”

"Pour full, pour full, don't be so stingy."

Li Tang tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "You find a clean wine bottle, pour half a bottle and bring it over." ”

"What's the matter, this is the bottle of Coke that has been spared."

"Tsk, don't worry about it, you can use it when you shoot it later."

"Uh...... Okay. ”

Li Tang picked up a full glass of Coke and gestured to Yuan Quan, and said, "How is it, do you feel better?" ”

"I've got to drink some more."

Yuan Quan didn't shy away from it now, picked up the cup and took another big sip, drinking a little urgently, and quickly patted his chest.

Li Tang's gaze followed her movements, staying at the part where she was shooting.

It's in good shape, and it looks quite material.

In order to hide his impolite eyes, the thing pretended to be concerned: "Aren't you cold?" ”

Yuan Quan was wearing a costume - a small black suit with a light-colored shirt and a silk scarf around his neck.

The spring cold is steep, Li Tang is wearing a suit shirt inside, and a down sweater is wrapped outside.

Yuan Quan didn't notice it, looked down at his clothes, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm wearing a sweater inside." ”

"yes, I don't see it at all."

Li Tang then looked at her boldly, and suddenly said, "Hey, if you are so beautiful, you must be the school flower of your Chinese opera, right?" ”

"What's the matter, it's not even a class flower." Yuan Quan's expression froze, and he shook his head.

"I don't believe it."

"Really, I didn't lie to you. Our class is much prettier than me. ”

The object's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "You can help me introduce you when you have a chance to go back." ”

When Yuan Quan heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, "No problem, but you may be disappointed, they all have boyfriends." ”

"Do you have a boyfriend then?" The creature asked narrowly.

"Huh? Belch...... Not really. ”

Being asked by him so coldly, Yuan Quan didn't react for a while, and a figure of a person subconsciously appeared in his mind.

"If there is, there will be none, if there is none, what does it mean that there is none?"

Faced with Li Tangjie's questioning, Yuan Quan was full of shyness, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No...... No. ”

Although the figure in his mind chased very closely, he didn't seem to have any feelings for that person, and he cared more about the aura of the actor on the other party.

"Bang Bang!"

At this time, the director's clapping interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Ready to shoot!"

Yuan Quan hurriedly sat up straight and took a deep breath. That's when she suddenly realized that she wasn't nervous at all.
