Chapter 302: No Contrast, No Harm

"I wish "The Subway to Spring" a good start!"

In front of the No. 4 studio of Beijing Film Studio, there is an offering table covered with red velvet, on which is placed a portrait of Guan Erye, as well as fruit plates, snacks and other tributes, and the camera next to it is covered with red cloth.

Everyone took turns to offer incense, and finally Zhang Baibai uncovered the red cloth on the camera.

Li Tang didn't believe in this for two lifetimes, but now it has become a fixed process for the boot ceremony. Out of the need for a sense of ritual, he followed the crowd.

Society is like this, as long as most people accept something, you just don't like it and have to accept it, so that you can be accepted by the majority of people, and not be maverick and seem out of place.

Originally, today's start-up ceremony should have been presided over by him, an investor and male number one, but he still gave it to Zhang Baibai, which can be regarded as helping him establish the authority of the director.

After the start-up ceremony, the staff began to make preparations before shooting, and Xu Jinglei, who had already put on makeup and was wrapped in a down jacket, was exchanging some shooting ideas with Zhang Baibai. A talented girl, she is always very thoughtful, and I heard that she plans to develop in the direction of a director.

Li Tang is also chatting with Liu Zhan about some scripts, mainly for the part of the female No. 2 Wang Li. This girl really can't help herself, so she can only cut some of the difficult scenes, so as not to spoil a pot of porridge with mouse feces.

After chatting, as soon as Liu Zhanfen left with his front foot, Gao Yuanyuan came up with his back foot, looked at Li Tang and said, "Brother Li, why did you go last night?" ”

Li Tang suddenly chuckled in his heart, but fortunately, with the help of a strong actor's self-cultivation, his face was not obvious, but on the contrary, he showed a surprised expression and said: "What are you doing, you are at home, you don't know." ”

Gao Yuanyuan was suspicious: "Then why didn't you change your clothes?" ”

Only then did Li Tang understand what the problem was, maybe this was also a bad habit of his, that is, he usually had to change his clothes every day when he went out.

Because in the United States in my previous life, when I went to work every day, my shirt and tie must be changed, and if you didn't change it, it means that you didn't come home last night. So he also developed this habit, and he may not necessarily wear a tie, but his shirt will definitely change every day. Even after crossing here, he still maintains the habits of his previous life, and because of his many clothes, he basically changes his clothes every day.

In fact, in China, especially in winter, it is normal not to change clothes for two or three days or even a week. may be because Li Tang changed his clothes frequently, which attracted Gao Yuanyuan's attention.

At least it shows that Li Tang is a person who loves cleanliness. A tall, handsome, rich, talented, and clean-minded boy will naturally attract the attention of girls.

"Oh, I was in too much of a hurry to go out in the morning, and I didn't bother to change it." Li Tang said with a look of sudden realization.

Last night, he slept at the Jianguo Hotel at the front door, of course, he was still wearing yesterday's clothes, but he didn't expect Gao Yuanyuan to observe so carefully.

Gao Yuanyuan was relieved and said: "I said, I saw you wearing this yesterday, why are you still wearing it today!" ”

Li Tang didn't want to entangle this topic with her, so as not to show his feet, so he diverted the topic and said, "Why did you come here today?" ”

Her role was arranged relatively late, and she didn't have to come to today's opening ceremony, just like Lao Fan, Ke Lan, and Wang Li didn't come, but she just came.

"Idle is idle, come and learn to learn."

As she spoke, she looked at Li Tang with a smile and said, "Didn't you keep saying that my acting skills were not good?" ”

Of course, Li Tang understands that she is not a drunkard, and a very beautiful girl is entangled with her hair? But it's annoying, he is still a little proud in his heart, which means that his buddies are charming, and this will be loved by everyone and flowers will bloom.

It is precisely with this intention that he is always sticky in the face of Gao Yuanyuan's attack, and he is reluctant to refuse at the same time. In layman's terms, it means that there is a thief's heart but not a thief's courage.

However, Jiang Qinqin's tenderness last night made him feel a lot more confident, and in the face of Gao Yuanyuan's excuse, he immediately said without pretending: "Since you are here to study, why are you still stunned, don't go in yet!" ”

"Huh?"

Gao Yuanyuan was obviously stunned, but she immediately flattered her again: "Brother Li, I want to eat something today, I'll go grocery shopping in a while." ”

The trick of cooking is very effective, and she plans to make the relationship between the two go further through cooking.

It's a pity that she miscalculated today, Jiang Qinqin came, even if she didn't mention it, Li Tang was still planning to tell her about it.

"No need, I have something to do during this time, and I don't eat at home, so you don't have to bother anymore. Oh, you've worked hard these days, thank you! ”

Gao Yuanyuan didn't expect this to be the result, and was stunned on the spot for a moment, the big eyes that could talk fluttered, and the eye sockets slowly turned red.

"Brother Li, are you annoying me? If you bother me, just say it straight and don't beat around the bush. ”

"Uh......"

Maybe Li Tang's tone was indeed a bit stiff just now, he originally wanted to cut through the mess quickly, but he didn't expect Gao Yuanyuan to come to himself with such a play.

There were already people coming and going at the door of the studio, and this scene suddenly attracted a lot of gossip attention, but fortunately, everyone understood, and while glancing at the gossip in their hearts, they looked away from each other, tacitly acknowledging each other, or looking at each other, secretly having fun in their hearts.

Li Tang couldn't take care of it, so he quickly pulled her aside, and said helplessly: "I'm really busy during this time, and I didn't mean to make excuses." ”

To be honest, he hates stickiness and unhappiness, but when facing Gao Yuanyuan, he has always been hard-hearted. Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan kept his head down and kept silent, he had to sigh secretly and said, "In this way, will I invite you to dinner after I am busy for this time?" ”

Does this count as dating?

Judging by how to understand it, in Gao Yuanyuan's opinion, this may be, after all, this is the first time Li Tang has taken the initiative to invite himself to dinner.

She finally raised her head, looked at Li Tang with sparkling eyes, as if she wanted to see through her heart, and finally the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing that fresh and sweet smile and said, "Then I'll wait." ”

……

In the studio, creating a dark night scene, the background is cold, the orange light comes from the side, Xu Jinglei is wearing a small suspender, sitting on a brown sofa facing the camera, her eyes are deep, and her face is a little sad, in fact, it is not called sad, that is, her face is a little bitter when she is serious.

There was silence for more than ten seconds before he spoke: "They all call me Xiaohui...... In fact, I am already very content, and I have been able to live with Jianbin for seven years......"

This is a monologue scene, and it has been filmed seven or eight times over and over again.

The rhythm of speaking, the change of lighting, there are adjustments every time, not that Xu Jinglei acted badly, but the first scene of the start-up, not only needs to be run-in, but at the same time, Zhang Baibai is also pursuing various possibilities.

“Cut!”

Finally, after this shot, Zhang Baibai watched the replay carefully again before standing up and raising his thick and short arms and said, "Okay, it's over!" ”

Xu Jinglei, who was sitting in front of the camera, finally breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped the down jacket that the assistant helped her put on, took a sip of hot coffee, and shouted at Zhang Baibai: "Director, can you rest for a while?" ”

"Good!"

The first shot was shot quite smoothly, and as the first film shot in his directorial career was completed, Zhang Baibai was a little more excited. He looked up at the arena and asked, "Is Mr. Li ready?" ”

"Teacher Li is still putting on makeup." An assistant director nicknamed "Mouse" hurriedly responded.

Although Zhang Baibai has filmed several TV series, this time he has entered a new field for filmmaking, and he specially found a few experienced assistant directors.

Mouse is one of them, although he is still only a student of Nortel's photography department, but he studied directing in the art department of Beijing Normal University, and the graduation work "Thursday, Wednesday" made when he graduated from the art department of Beijing Normal University won the best director award at last year's Beijing University Student Film Festival.

Li Tang put on makeup, took care of his hairstyle, changed his clothes, wrapped himself in his coat, held the script in one hand, and hurriedly walked to the studio with a thermos cup in the other.

Zeng Jia has always said that he wants to help him find an assistant, but he can't find a suitable one for a while. As his coffee position gets higher and higher, it always feels a little unusual not to have an assistant around him, and at the same time, it will more or less cause trouble to other actors with assistants in the same crew. Also, I didn't think it was when I played a supporting role before, but now I play the leading role, and there are more and more scenes, and it's really inconvenient to not have an assistant around.

As soon as I walked to the door of the studio, I saw Xu Jinglei walking out of it wrapped in a down sweater.

"Finished shooting?"

"Well, it's finally over. Got one? ”

Xu Jinglei held a cigarette in her mouth and handed over the cigarette case.

People in the capital like to smoke the kind of white filter in the middle of the sea, Li Tang couldn't get used to this, so he waved his hand and declined. Because it was a bed scene between the two of them for a while, he felt that it was necessary to communicate.

It's not the most intense kind, it's just a conversation between the two, but the scene that happens is in bed. There are only lines in the script, but the performance is not just like two people talking face to face, first of all, they must design their respective positions, such as whether they are lying, sitting, or standing, and there are also some small actions in the process of dialogue, etc., which belong to the category of performance creation.

Li Tang told her what he imagined, Xu Jinglei filtered his words in her mind while smoking, and finally threw the cigarette butt on the ground, raised her foot and stepped on it to grind it, and then said, "Okay, no problem." ”

Because it was the first time to work together, although there had been exchanges during the reading of the script before, there would definitely be a variety of unimaginable problems in the real shooting. Therefore, it is necessary to communicate and make sure that everyone knows what they know.

Of course, if you meet a great actor, the situation may be different, for example, someone will tell you very confidently that I can play whatever you want, and I can take it no matter how you play.

Xu Jinglei then said: "Then let me tell me what I think." ”

Her addiction to smoking is a bit big, she is not allowed to smoke in the studio, and she is estimated to be suffocated after taking seven or eight consecutive shots, and she is going to get cigarettes again. Seeing this, Li Tang hurriedly took out the three or five in his pocket and handed it over: "Pump mine." ”

"Yo, so you're smoking this! I'm not a picky eater. ”

Xu Jinglei took it with a smile, and out of the gentlemanly demeanor of a man, Li Tang hurriedly helped her order it.

It was a little windy outside, and she held the flame on the lighter with both hands, and after lighting it, she tapped it twice with her fingers on the back of Li Tang's hand holding the lighter.

There is inevitably a conflict between her ideas and the ideas Li Tang just said, not necessarily to steal the scene, but their understandings are different. This needs to collide, and whoever has reason to listen to whom. Otherwise, they will perform according to their own ideas and give the final judgment to the director.

Fortunately, the first cooperation and the first rivalry were relatively polite, and a consensus was quickly reached.

When the two of them entered, the lights were still being set up in the shed. Filming during the day and at night can only achieve the best effect when shooting in the studio, whether it is the arrangement of lighting or the choice of camera position.

In order to highlight the visual effect, the background is mainly red, such as the wall of the bathroom painted red, red pillowcases, red three-person sofa and so on.

At the scene, it was the assistant director rat who was directing the lighting and camera position, and the director Zhang Baibai was sitting firmly behind the monitor. This can also be understood, Zhang Baibai, who graduated from the Department of Chinese Opera and Literature, is responsible for the overall control, and can only rely on professional assistant directors to assist in terms of professional things.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Zhang Baibai said, "Do you want to go through it first?" ”

"No need, just shoot it." Xu Jinglei grabbed ahead of Li Tang and said confidently, and after speaking, she turned around and showed a smile to Li Tang.

Gao Yuanyuan, who was sitting next to him studying, happened to see this scene, and muttered a few times silently with an angry face, looking at the mouth as if she was saying "fox spirit" or something.

Just then the mouse shouted, "Director, OK." ”

Zhang Baibai picked up the megaphone: "Okay, everyone prepare." ”

Bed scene, you must take off your clothes. Xu Jinglei took off the down jacket wrapped around her body, revealing the small purple suspenders inside, and then in front of more than a dozen people at the scene, she boldly took off her jeans, revealing two slender black legs.

As soon as Li Tang took off his coat, revealing the white hurdle vest inside, Gao Yuanyuan ran over and acted as a little assistant and said, "Brother Li, give it to me." ”

Seeing this scene, several staff members who were outside the studio subconsciously glanced at each other, revealing subtle expressions.

In mid-March, although the temperature during the day is basically above ten degrees, after all, it is still warm and cold, and it still feels cold and swishing bare-chested.

However, when Li Tang took off his coat and exposed his strong triceps and deltoid muscles on the outside of the hurdle vest, the staff at the scene all showed unexpected expressions, this is a typical thin and undressed person, even Gao Yuanyuan, who was helping to take the clothes on the side, couldn't take her eyes off for a while, and didn't react until Li Tang took off his pants and handed them to her.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, compared to Xu Jinglei's black meat, Li Tang's figure in boxers and tight hurdle vests is more pleasing to the eye, especially the pair of long legs, click, strong and dynamic at a glance!
