Chapter 343: Inner Drama

"Brother, "Subway to Spring" has been completed, there will be a viewing party next week, see if you have time to ......"

"If I can't leave here, I won't participate, so let's follow the plan, and if there is no problem with the review, I will send it out as soon as possible. Although people have given a deadline, let's not really delay it to the end, it is convenient for everyone. ”

"Got it, brother!"

"Well, it's hard work, I'll hang up if it's okay."

Li Tang was afraid that Zeng Jia on the other end of the phone would mention to him about the bodyguard he invited for Jiang Qinqin, so he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Xiaopang, who had been eavesdropping with his ear sideways, asked curiously, "Did you say you could be shortlisted this time?" ”

"Where do I know, it's up to luck...... Even if you can't be shortlisted, it's good to show your face and do publicity. Li Tang said.

Although there is the operation of MK2, it is estimated that there is no big problem in the shortlisted screening unit, but he doesn't want to talk too much.

"Then you have to walk the red carpet with Xu Jinglei this time." Chubby pressed his face against his chest and sourly said.

Li Tang said with a smile: "It also depends on whether people are free or not, if they are not free, then I can only go with Zhang Baibai." ”

"Cut, she can't look forward to this kind of opportunity, how can she not be available?" Chubby snorted.

The red carpets of the three major European film festivals have a fatal attraction to actresses all over the world, not to mention domestic actresses in the Muyang era. If you really have this calmness, why do you still work as an actor.

Remember this, everything an actor does is to be famous.

At this time, it was mid-July, and the crew of "Purple Butterfly" was now filming intensively in Chedun Cinema, but Lou Ye, who paid attention to realism, still moved some of the scenes to the urban area for real-life shooting.

Overall, the filming went well, and the ex-girlfriend's scene was just finished yesterday. After the finale, he hurried back to the capital on the same day, reportedly to participate in an audition for a Hong Kong comedy film.

Li Tang also learned about this Hong Kong comedy movie from his ex-girlfriend, and it turned out that last year's "My Sassy Girlfriend" in Bang Ziguo became popular in Asia. The Hong Kong film industry, which has always been at the forefront of following the trend and is very good at learning from and paying tribute, of course, could not give up such a good opportunity, so it launched this Chinese costume version of "My Savage Girlfriend" - "Hedong Lion Roar" in time.

As if as promised, as soon as the ex-girlfriend left, Chubby came. She just finished filming "Li Wei as an Official 2", she hasn't seen her for more than half a month, and she misses it very much, she was entangled in the daytime, and she has to study the script. But now she doesn't need Mr. Li's guidance, and she can even draw inferences from one another.

"By the way, when are you going to report to the crew?" Li Tang diverted the topic and asked.

"Twenty." Xiaopang looked regretful, pouted and said, "I won't be able to stay for a few days this time." ”

"Shooting the Condor" has not yet been broadcast, but "Dragon Babu" has already been very lively. Not long ago, a large-scale public audition was held, and Beijing TV also carried out a follow-up report.

Some up-and-coming flowers, such as Xiaoyanzi's classmate Yan Danchen, and Su Chang, who was born as a child star, all participated in this public audition to compete for the role of the female number one Wang Yuyan.

Of course, the role has long been decided, and the so-called public audition is destined to be a failure. However, this is also very likely to be a hype by Zhang Dabeard and several brokerage companies, after all, for those Xiaohua who are eager to become famous, it is also a good opportunity to increase their popularity by associating with Jin Yong's drama female number one.

Li Tang has a good relationship with Zhang Dabeard's right-hand man, Zhao Jian, the director and martial arts instructor of "Smiling Proud", "Shooting the Condor", and the upcoming filming of "Tianlong", and they often contact each other privately.

According to Zhao Jian, the overall quality of "Shooting the Condor" is not optimistic, on the one hand, it may come from the constant turmoil during the filming, first changing the director, and then making a scene of Zhou Xun and Qu Ying's two daughters fighting for a husband, making a mess of chicken feathers. In fact, the deep-seated reason is that the preparation work is not sufficient.

So this time, Lao Zhang learned from the pain, and no longer set up any chief director, and decided early to use his old team Zhou Xiaowen and Yu Min as literary directors, Ju Jueliang and Zhao Jian as martial arts directors, and invited Yuan Bing to serve as martial arts instructors again. And the actors are required to join the group in advance for half a month of martial arts training.

This time, Lao Zhang really monopolized power, and also copied the training mode before the filming of "Smiling Pride".

Hearing that Xiaopang couldn't stay for a few days, Li Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time didn't forget to take care of it: "Take it easy when training, be careful not to get hurt." Yuan Bing and Zhao Jian are good, I'll say hello to you when you turn around. ”

Hearing that Mr. Li cared about him, Xiaopang was still quite sweet in his heart, and said with a smile: "Of course it's best if you can help me say hello, but don't worry, it's not the first time I've filmed a scene, and I know it." ”

When an actor enters the group, unless you are a big star and you have to carry the drama, then you are the boss and don't say anything. Otherwise, it is necessary to have a good relationship with the directors, cameramen, martial arts instructors and other behind-the-scenes bosses of the crew. Appropriate additions to the important parts, how to shoot better and more brilliant, these are all particular.

Then Xiaopang couldn't hide his sourness and said: "The one named Liu Yifei, I saw it in the TV series two days ago, and it was a chubby little girl......"

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered and said to Li Tang: "You used to always say that I was fat, you go to see people, you are much fatter than I was back then, and you are not allowed to call me chubby in the future." ”

Li Tang thought of the heroic Mulan in his memory of his previous life, and couldn't help laughing: "After all, people are still young, and that's called baby fat." Wait for someone to draw a strip and you will take a look! ”

"I think it's average, isn't it just tall!" Chubby muttered unconvinced.

She has always been very confident in her appearance, but since she saw that Liu Yifei on TV, she has become less confident. Although the little girl looks a little fat, she is really beautiful, especially with the kind of innocence that she doesn't have, and men are especially willing to take care of it.

"Okay, get along well with others when you get to the crew, don't forget that people have a backstage." Li Tang touched her brain and said.

Chubby shook his head irritably, pouted, and said, "I still need you to talk about this, I know!" ”

"Hey, learn to talk to me again!"

After studying the script once, Mr. Li, who had recovered at this time, was very unhappy with Xiaopang's attitude and decided to teach her how to be a person.

When I was with my ex-girlfriend before, it was like chewy, strong and long-lasting.

And being with Chubby is more passionate, juicy and seductive, and difficult to control. If this kind of woman was born in ancient times, she must be a Daji and a favorite, and the king will not be early from now on.

Probably only when I am with Jiang Qinqin, I will feel very warm, the years are quiet, and the water flows for a long time.

……

"Teacher Li, morning!"

"Morning!"

"Morning!"

After a week, Li Tang came to Chedun Cinema again.

Because the crew and Zhang Ziyi signed a total of two months, because they were worried that it would be too late, they had been rushing to work day and night to shoot Xiao Zhang's role. It's just that for two nights in a row, during the fierce boat play between Xiao Zhang and Japan, Xiao Zhang finally got tired and collapsed, and his high fever reached 39 degrees 8.

So the director made another phone call and called him to the scene.

I didn't see Lou Ye and the executive director at the scene, so it is estimated that they are still resting at this time.

He walked into the dressing room, said hello to the makeup and costume teacher, and sat down to put on makeup.

Most of the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew are from Shanghai Film Studio, which is no stranger to Li Tang, and many of them have worked together during the filming of "Shanghai Chronicle" and "The Third Man".

According to the usual practice, when applying makeup, Li Tang began to close his eyes and start silent play, and at the same time brewed emotions.

For the character of Situ, the emotional changes in the two paragraphs before and after are obvious, before Yiling was killed, this character was full of sunshine; But when Yiling was killed, and she was involved in the struggle between the Japanese intelligence agency and the anti-Japanese resistance organization, the whole person began to become gloomy.

In fact, he has very few lines in the play, maybe twenty or thirty lines from beginning to end, more to show his inner drama. To be honest, this is more demanding for an actor's acting skills, especially Lou Ye's close-up shots at every turn, which is the kind of frozen close-up of the camera on his face. If you're not careful, you won't be able to shoot this kind of shot at all.

Only Li Tang and Zhang Ziyi can enjoy this kind of treatment. Xie Ming, the leader of the anti-Japanese resistance organization played by Mr. Feng Yuanzheng, is more of a profile shot. And the small book Nakamura Heng, who also plays a heavy role, should also enjoy this kind of close-up and large close-ups, maybe his acting skills are not enough, or for other considerations, anyway, when he gets there, there are more medium and long shots.

Today's scene is a continuation of the scene that was filmed a week ago. After escaping from the train station, Situ was chased and killed by Japanese spies and anti-Japanese resistance organizations at the same time, one side believed that he was a member of the anti-Japanese resistance group, and the other side thought that he was a traitor because of the mutation at the train station, and in the end he was captured by the Japanese intelligence agencies first.

Although he was confused, the information in the briefcase that had been shoehorned into him by the connector proved his identity. So under the severe torture and death threats of the Japanese intelligence agencies, he had to admit it, and then the Japanese intelligence agencies rebelled and agreed to provide them with information, and became a shameful traitor.

It was at this time that he figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing. But as an innocent person, he had no way to defend himself but to accept it.

In the pouring rain, he returned home like a walking corpse and looked at the two purple butterflies in bottles on the windowsill. With the blow of Yiling's death, and the humiliation of being a traitor, he finally decided to end his life with the pistol that the Japanese spy stuffed into him.

Today's filming is the scene where he changed out of the bloody clothes he was tortured into, put on clean and neat clothes, and sat on the toilet in the bathroom ready to commit suicide.

Of course, the suicide was not successful, otherwise the following storyline would not have been able to unfold.

Suicide is something that takes courage, and when you put a gun to your heart, there's a struggle inside, and that struggle needs to be expressed through extremely subtle expressions in a minute-long frozen close-up.

“Cut!”

Sixth, Lou Ye had to stop again through the walkie-talkie.

Li Tang also felt embarrassed, pulled up his pants and got up from the toilet, stretched out his hand and asked the executive director to take the walkie-talkie and talk to Lou Ye hiding in the small dark room: "Director, give me ten minutes to adjust." ”

"Good!"

Lou Ye agreed very simply.

Only six shots, maybe Li Tang will feel embarrassed, but for Lou Ye, this is just commonplace.

In the boat scene last night, Zhang Ziyi had a fever at the beginning, a little more than 37 degrees, but she still filmed more than a dozen repeatedly, and finally her body temperature was as high as 39 degrees 8, and Xiao Zhang was a little confused. Even though Zhang Ziyi's staff protested, he still didn't let him go, because he felt that the actor was in just right shape at this time.

Sure enough, the last one is perfect, and the actor is the most feeling when he plays the boat scene in a state of confusion.

Li Tang returned the walkie-talkie to the executive director, and nodded apologetically to the surrounding staff. habitually touched his pockets and felt empty, only then did he realize that his cigarettes and lighters, including his mobile phone, were with his assistant Xiao Zhao. When filming indoor scenes, due to space constraints, the assistant can only wait outside.

Just as he was about to go out, photographer Wang Yu handed over a red wan and helped him light it with a lighter.

"Thank you!"

Li Tang took a deep sip, Hongwan was stronger than the broad-format international three-five he usually smoked, and the mixed tobacco flavor also stimulated his nerves.

"It's okay, take your time." Wang Yu comforted at the right time.

As Lou Ye's royal photographer, he is used to seeing this kind of scene, even the actor who was particularly good at acting in inner dramas back then was also tortured by Lou Ye to death.

In fact, their relationship was very good back then, but later this person became addicted, although he also made a comeback last year to make a seemingly inspirational documentary, but how can such a thing as addiction be said to be quit, not to mention that it has been addicted for a long time and can only continue to sink.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu felt a little sad.

Li Tang didn't know that the photographer opposite had so many inner dramas, and he was sitting on the toilet and smoking, while reflecting. In fact, he was in just good shape a week ago, and the next shooting must have worked well, but unfortunately in order to accommodate Xiao Zhang's schedule, he could only give way.

At the same time, Xiaopang happened to come over during the period of rest, and the days were so comfortable that the negative emotions that had accumulated were gone.

This kind of inner drama with a slap on the face cannot be performed by technical processing alone, only the real emotion drive in the heart, even if you have no expression, the audience can still feel it. So it's really a bit metaphysical to say that acting is a bit metaphysical sometimes, and it's no wonder that actors are sometimes superstitious.

"Ready!"

A beam of white cold light came from behind, illuminating most of Li Tang's face, and then hit straight on the wall with the mosaic behind it.

Wang Yu held the camera very steadily, and stood opposite in the way of hand-held shooting.

With a "pop", the field notes hit the board.

The executive director shouted softly: "Action! ”

Li Tang dragged his trousers and sat on the toilet, looked down at the pistol in his hand blankly, raised his head and looked dull, like a creature with no feelings.

Suddenly there was a "bang", and the pistol bullet was loaded.

After loading, he still sat in a daze, which lasted for about seven or eight seconds, before slowly lowering his head, grabbing the position of aiming the muzzle of the gun at the left heart, and after making two strokes, after confirming that it was correct, he slowly raised his head until the pair of dim, emotionless eyes looked at the camera.

At this time, Wang Yu also slowly zoomed in on the camera. At the beginning, this is a close-up half-length of the central composition, and the camera zooms in extremely slowly.

Li Tang kept looking at the camera like this, staying still, not deliberately, but exuding an aura of silence all over his body, which made people can't help but get goosebumps.

Suddenly the eye blinked, it was instinct. But Li Tang closed his eyes.

Lou Ye, who was staring at the monitor in the small black room, finally eased his expression for the first time today, and his eyes showed a look of approval. It can be seen that Li Tang has already found his sense at this time.

Wang Yu's camera is still slowly closing in at a speed that is imperceptible to the naked eye, until the face fills the entire picture, freezes and freezes.

A beam of clear cold light hit the unwavering face, and the eyelashes were very long, very long, making people feel that if they opened their eyes, they must be a pair of big eyes that are particularly smart and can talk. At this time, the long eyelashes were trembling slightly, and the eyelids on the lid were also shaking slightly from time to time.

Suicide requires courage, even if it is a good psychological construction, Li Tang, who is determined to die, still has the scene of Yiling being shot in his mind at the moment when he is about to pull the trigger.

I haven't avenged Yiling yet!

At the same time, he hated the Japanese spy who forced him to become a traitor, he now has a gun in his hand, maybe he can use this gun to kill the Japanese spy, even if he is killed, it is a well-deserved death.

It is this mental activity that accompanies the fluttering of the eyelids and the fluttering of the eyelashes. But on second thought, what's the point? At this time, as long as he pulls the trigger, he will be a hundred, no matter what anti-Japanese resistance organization he is, no matter what kind of Japanese spy he is, Lao Tzu would rather die than be a traitor......

It was precisely because of this thought that his eyelids no longer trembled, his eyelashes no longer fluttered, and suddenly became strangely calm, and the whole picture was dead silent.

Suddenly, there were two "pops" sounds.

Instinctively, his eyelids twitched, and he opened his eyes, as if listening.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

There were a few more knocks on the door, louder and more hurried.

Li Tang's eyes slowly rolled at this time, looking in the direction where the voice came from.

“Cut! Good, very good! ”
