12. Inexplicable talent
At six o'clock in the morning, Chen Li'an got up from the bed, yawned, and pulled his long hair back to his head.
Chen Li'an's room is very small, less than ten square meters, with a single bed and a desk, and there are not many books on it, only a few new high school textbooks.
The people in the courtyard were almost up, and Chen Li'an also heard the sound of Uncle Qi boxing in the courtyard.
This old man practiced kung fu to the crack of his bones, and Chen Li'an supported him under his hand for three minutes at most, and then he would be slapped to the ground with a palm and lying on his stomach.
In order not to let Uncle Qi find out that he was coming back, and then pulled himself to ask questions, Chen Li'an brushed his teeth and washed his face at home, and waited until the old man went out for breakfast after punching before sneaking out of the house.
This large miscellaneous courtyard is a three-entry courtyard, a total of six households, when Chen Li'an came out, there were a few hairy boys squatting at the door of the house sleepily brushing their teeth.
When they saw Chen Li'an, they all immediately put down the toothbrush in their hands and muttered, "Brother An." ”
Chen Li'an didn't pay attention to his little brothers, and left the compound with a depressed expression.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old child with an inch of hair looked at Chen Li'an's departing back and muttered: "Brother An's expression is a little scary, who is not long-eyed to provoke him, I hope he will not be killed." ”
If Chen Li'an knew that this kid was talking about himself behind his back like this, he would definitely blow up his dog head first after the movie was finished, as if he was a violent maniac.
Coming out of the courtyard, Chen Li'an didn't go to the previous steamed bun shop, worried that he would meet Uncle Qi, so he simply spared the stall that went to the fried fritters at the other end of the alley and bought two fried dough sticks.
Chen Li'an chewed on the fritters and reached out to stop a yellow taxi that had just come out of the car, and the chubby noodles looked very cute, which was specially approved last year in order to lower the entry threshold for taxis.
Although there are many taxis, the experience of taking a car is by no means good, the weather in April is okay, and it will suffocate people in summer.
In the taxi, Chen Li'an looked at the constantly jumping fare, and felt that his salary for filming extremely cold films might not be enough for the daily taxi fare.
Chen Li'an is reluctant to take the bus, he is a person who is greedy for enjoyment, and he will not wronged himself as long as he has the conditions.
Chen Li'an also has the character of hard-working and hard-working, but only in things that he is interested in, such as filming and boxing.
In other aspects of life, Chen Li'an is reluctant to carry forward the spirit of hard work, which is very unsocial and at the same time very social, and it sounds quite contradictory.
"It seems that we have to find a way to shoot faster, or find a place to live close to the set." Chen Li'an muttered and finished the fritters in his hand in one gulp.
The car arrived soon, Chen Li'an took out twelve yuan from his wallet and handed it to the taxi master, the starting price of ten yuan for ten kilometers, and one yuan for one kilometer behind, it is also very profitable to open a taxi in these years.
Chen Li'an got out of the car and felt a little dizzy, the smell of gasoline in the car was too strong, and he was a little motion sick.
When Chen Li'an came to the place agreed by the crew, no one had come, and he was the first to arrive.
Today's scenes will be filmed at Wang Xiaoshuai's friend's house, and if he has no money to rent the scene, he can only choose to start with his friends around him.
Most of the funds for the extreme cold are also like this, and a group of friends around Wang Xiaoshuai pooled money to support them.
It's really shabby, Chen Li'an leaned on the tree on the side of the road and looked boredly at the pedestrians who were hurrying to work in the early morning.
Chen Li'an waited there for more than ten minutes, and Wang Xiaoshuai came and came with Shu Qi.
Because Shu Qi had a car, his rich friends in the capital lent it to Shu Qi.
Shu Qi is very friendly to mainland filmmakers, has helped many films export to overseas film festivals, and is a good film promoter.
The great eunuch Li Lianying, the big red lantern hangs high, the overlord farewell concubine, the second concubine, the red powder and other movies, he has helped with overseas market planning.
And he also has a distribution company, which has distributed many literary films.
People like Shu Qi are very well-connected, although he may not be very successful as a director, but he is very good as a filmmaker.
This is also one of the reasons why Chen Li'an chose extreme cold, hoping to meet a filmmaker like Shu Qi.
Well, Chen Li'an admitted that his purpose at the beginning was not simple, but this did not delay him from showing perfect acting skills.
Shu Qi wore a pair of glasses, looked very gentle, walked up to Chen Li'an and said with a smile: "Come so early? I thought you'd sleep in. ”
Chen Li'an stood up straight, stretched his waist and said, "I went to bed early last night. ”
"You were really tired yesterday, but today's scene is much easier." Wang Xiaoshuai leaned over and scattered two cigarettes, and Zhongnanhai, which was white-roded, had a faint smell when he smoked it.
However, the white pole looks very beautiful, and it is the choice of many pseudo-literary and artistic youths, cheap and good-looking, and extremely cost-effective.
Chen Li'an took out a silver zippo lighter from his pocket, with several beautiful five-pointed stars engraved on it, which were the trophies of his previous street fights.
The fingers sliding, the crisp metal buckle sounded, and the yellow flame of the grinding wheel of Chen Li'an's sliding machine suddenly came out, lighting the cigarette.
Wang Xiaoshuai looked at the disposable pink plastic lighter in his hand, and then looked at Chen Li'an's steel wheel metal lighter, and said a little depressedly: "Why are your lighters so handsome." ”
Shu Qi couldn't help laughing and said, "You change the lighter, you will find that it is also very handsome, and it has nothing to do with the lighter." ”
This doesn't sound funny, although Wang Xiaoshuai doesn't want to admit it, but looking at Chen Li'an's face, he still recognizes this fact in his heart.
Chen Li'an is not proud of his appearance, and what his parents gave him was not earned by working hard to make money and using knives, so what is there to be proud of.
Those who use knives can still say that they have worked hard to get it, what does it have to do with what your parents give, you should be proud of your parents.
Chen Li'an took a hard puff of his cigarette, squinted his eyes and said, "When will it start?" I want to shoot faster. ”
Wang Xiaoshuai paused, and then lit a cigarette and asked, "Have you taken on other scenes?" ”
"No, I'm just hoping to save some money." Chen Li'an explained, but he didn't explicitly say that he felt that the taxi fare was too expensive, and the crew was so poor that he wouldn't reimburse himself.
Shu Qi took a puff of cigarette, looked at the road where cars came and went, and said: "The crew really has no money, you can save a little money by filming faster, you can think about the crew, you are a good actor." ”
This is the poorest crew Shu Qi has ever produced, and he now doubts whether there will be money for post-production after the film is finished.
Wang Xiaoshuai also thought that Chen Li'an was thinking about saving money for the crew, and he was a little embarrassed, the crew's difficulties were already well known.
The three men stood on the side of the road, each smoking, and did not speak for a while.
It wasn't until the rest of the crew arrived that the dullness was broken.
As soon as Ma Xiaoqing arrived here, she ran to Chen Li'an's side, and took out a photo from her overalls vest pocket as if offering a treasure.
"This is the picture you took last night, it's really beautiful, did you learn photography?" Ma Xiaoqing asked with some admiration and some curiosity.
The angles and composition of last night's photo shoot were great, and it was not at all something that a novice could take.
If Chen Li'an is a novice, he is also a genius novice!
Chen Li'an took the photo and looked at it carefully, then put it in his pocket and said: "I've played a few times, it's not professional, and I have time to learn from it." ”
Chen Li'an said that he had played it a few times, and he had played it on a whim in his previous life, but he was quickly persuaded to quit by the cumbersome numerical adjustment.
That's why he didn't know how to wash photos, and he was curious about this technology, which was later eliminated by the public.
It turned out to be a novice, Ma Xiaoqing was a little surprised by Chen Li'an's talent, taking pictures is not only about technology, but also about his own keen perspective and feeling.
"Okay, after today's filming, how about I teach you? You have a special perspective and a lot of talent. ”
Chen Li'an didn't care much about Ma Xiaoqing's praise, he had heard Bai Qing say this kind of thing too many times in the previous month.
I seem to be very talented in art, but I don't know if it's the golden finger brought by rebirth.
