Chapter 579: "Dalian by the Sea" is finished
"Dalian by the Sea" is already being filmed, and it can still get several advertising placements, which is a very rare thing.
There are no big scenes in this movie, and there are no big stars.
Lu Han joined with zero salary, and the three of them were all brought into the group with capital.
In this case, the cost has already been recovered before the movie is released.
Lee Shengyao didn't hype up this matter, he has been concentrating on film shooting recently, the on-set shooting of this movie has come to the late stage of production, and he strives to finish it in about 80 days, so that the crew can complete the set work before the year, and the actors and factory workers can have a happy New Year.
On this day, Dalian was already very cold, and the cold wind blew as hard as money.
Since it was the end of the semester, there were many fewer Luhan fans who came to support.
There used to be three or four hundred, but now there are only about two hundred.
In the cold wind, a small car came, and then a young man got out of the car and quickly walked into the set.
The man was about 30 years old, with short hair, hairspray, all combed back.
He looks quite thoughtful, but he is not a handsome guy like Huang Xiaoming.
At this time, he was wearing a long down jacket and a pair of plush jeans, and he walked very steadily.
This person is Zhang Songwen's good friend, college classmate Zhou Yiwei.
He came to visit the class, and he and Zhang Songwen are close friends, and they can wear the same pair of pants.
Zhou Yiwei had already contacted Zhang Songwen, and when he entered the set, he saw Zhang Songwen, Li Shengyao, and Yan Bingyan.
Yan Bingyan came over to play a cameo role, which is the mother of the second girlfriend of the man.
In the movie, this character has been divorced for many years, and when he sees the male protagonist, he wants to eat chicken, but the male protagonist is like ashes, and he is very indifferent to outsiders.
Li Shengyao took into account Zhang Songwen's age, so he found Yan Bingyan.
"Director Li is good."
Zhou Yiwei naturally knew Li Shengyao, he didn't have any extra words, and said hello from a distance.
Li Shengyao nodded, "Teacher Zhou sits casually." ”
Zhou Yiwei then pulled a chair, sat next to him, and watched quietly, he was really casual, without any stage fright, without any discomfort.
Many people don't know Zhou Yiwei's family history.
Their family can be regarded as a literary family, his mother is a national first-class choreographer, one of the choreographers of the 08 Olympic Games, and the former deputy head of the Second Artillery Art Troupe.
His father is one of the top cellists in the country.
His family's ancestral home is a historic building, and ordinary people have to buy tickets to go in and play.
Under such conditions, Zhou Yiwei has seen the world since he was a child, and he will not bow his head for money and power.
After he entered the entertainment industry, he became the male number one, and it was smooth sailing.
However, the audience is limited, and although his acting skills are good, he has been tepid.
Whether it can be popular or not really depends on fortune.
At this time, Zhou Yiwei sat down, and then squinted his eyes and looked at the set.
It can be seen that the crew of "Dalian by the Sea" is very orderly, there are many people, but it is very quiet, as if everyone knows what they have to do.
This is very rare in China.
Zhou Yiwei was slightly surprised in his heart, and then winked at Zhang Songwen.
Under the excellent family background, Zhou Yiwei doesn't look down on everyone else in the entertainment industry, he has a feeling that everyone sitting is garbage, and everyone is drunk and I am sober.
Li Shengyao's several movies selected the leading actor, and the other actors were very moved and actively prepared, Zhou Yiwei didn't pay much attention to it, and at the urging of his agent, he asked the agent to submit a document.
Later, Li Shengyao didn't choose him, and he didn't take it to heart.
He now has a master's lonely mentality.
The orderly crew of "Dalian by the Sea" surprised him a little, but that's all.
Li Shengyao, Zhang Songwen, Yan Bingyan, and Lu Han didn't know Zhou Yiwei's mentality, they were seriously playing and discussing lines.
Yan Bingyan felt that the lines of this divorced woman were too explicit, and if they wanted to correct them, several people were discussing them.
After the discussion, Li Shengyao took a few actors to take the position.
Then the actors rehearsed, and Lee walked around the room with the photographer and the gaffer, trying to find the most suitable camera position.
Since Zhou Yiwei entered the set, Li Shengyao has been busy and has not stopped at all.
Zhou Yiwei saw it in his eyes, and his heart was even more surprised, he realized that Li Shengyao won two golden palms, and there was indeed something.
The control of this field, as well as the hands-on attitude, are rare in the mainland.
Yan Bingyan and Zhang Songwen are both acting schools, and Lu Han's performance in this scene is relatively simple, they only rehearsed for two hours, and then started filming.
Zhou Yiwei subconsciously looked at Zhang Songwen, only to see Zhang Songwen sitting on the chair next to Yan Bingyan, his eyes were empty, without the slightest ambiguous joy with a woman, his eyes were indifferent and lifeless, as if there was nothing interested in him in the world.
On Yan Bingyan's side, her eyes were expectant, a little shy, and she pursed her mouth to speak.
This......
Although I don't know the plot, the two acting schools sit there, and they have a story, and you can understand at a glance what they are probably playing.
Zhou Yiwei's eyes couldn't help but widen.
He looked at Zhang Songwen in a daze, his eyes full of surprise.
Zhou Yiwei graduated from Yenching Film Academy, he had very good professional grades when he was in school, and later he also worked as a teacher in the line class at school.
Among their classmates at that time, there were not many classmates he looked up to.
Zhang Songwen is one of them, and he feels that Zhang Songwen is the same as him, a person with real acting skills.
But in the end, he is young, Zhou Yiwei is only thirty-one years old this year, and he lacks life experience, so it will be difficult to play some roles.
Zhang Songwen, who is a few years older than him, also has this problem.
is more important because Zhang Songwen has never been very confident, and he is not very open to acting.
At this time, he found that Zhang Songwen was like an old drama bone, sitting naturally, his eyes were full of stories, but he was indifferent, as if he was the depressed hero.
Even in the face of the Golden Rooster Award actress Yan Bingyan, Zhang Songwen caught the same scene.
His character has no lines at this time, mainly relying on facial expressions and eyes to convey emotions, even so, Zhang Songwen's performance is also very good, very eye-catching, and he attracts everyone's attention just sitting there.
Zhou Yiwei has a feeling that Zhang Songwen, who was originally on par with his acting skills, is now even better than him.
How so?
It's only been two months, how can this progress be so fast?
Lee shouted the card, and then asked the actors to take a break.
Zhou Yiwei immediately found Zhang Songwen, "Lao Zhang, are you ...... You seem to be different now, your performance is more natural and confident, are you taking the Enlightenment Pill?"
Zhang Songwen smiled, "No, it was Director Li who guided me, which made me make great progress." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yiwei returned to his seat with a smile.
His eyes were on Lee Shengyao again, and this time he was much more respectful.
The international director who can win two Palme d'Or is indeed awesome, Zhang Songwen's problem has existed for several years and has not been solved, but I didn't expect it to be improved this time.
Such a director deserves his attention and respect.
An hour later, the crew of "Dalian by the Sea" arrived at lunch time, and the field workers went to get a boxed lunch.
Li Shengyao, Zhang Songwen, Lu Han, Yan Bingyan and Zhou Yiweize went to a restaurant next to the set to eat.
Zhou Yiwei was much more cheerful at this time, he poured himself a glass of wine, "Director Li, I'll give you a drink." ”
The two touched a glass, Zhou Yiwei drank wine, and Li Shengyao drank water.
Zhou Yiwei drank it all, showing his politeness.
He then winked at Zhang Songwen and asked Zhang Songwen to help him speak.
Zhang Songwen smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that his good friend had always been arrogant and not very good at talking, so he continued: "Director, Lao Zhou is a powerful actor, and he worked as a line teacher at Yenching Film Academy.
Wang Ludan and Bao Bell are his students.
And he is a very demanding person to take on the role, and he is a real actor.
Everyone else takes on the drama and earns money when they have money, Lao Zhou is different, he likes to challenge some special roles. ”
Zhou Yiwei was very satisfied with Zhang Songwen's introduction, and planned to go back to Yanjing next time to invite guests for dinner, so he stood up and poured himself another glass of wine.
"Director Li, I really like acting, if you have a suitable role, you can find me at any time, I have time."
"Okay."
Zhou Yiwei heard Li Shengyao's words and breathed a sigh of relief, he was not sure if he could play Li Shengyao's play, and he had more thoughts in his heart, hoping to be like Zhang Songwen, and get the direction of Director Li to improve his acting skills.
……
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the snow in Dalian has not stopped, and sometimes the wind is very strong, and the ground is frozen, and it is dangerous to walk on it.
The time came to February 6, 2013, on the set of "Dalian by the Sea", and the actors were still acting.
This scene is the last scene of the movie, and after the filming of this scene is completed, the crew's on-set work can be completed.
The plot is that the male protagonist met his ex-wife after a few years, and his ex-wife persuaded him to forget his sadness and start again.
The actor has mixed feelings, he laments that his ex-wife has forgotten the children and can live again.
I am sad that I am still stuck in the past, unable to come out.
At the same time, there was a resentful mentality, and he found that people all over the world didn't seem to care about that incident anymore, only he persisted, and only he was sad.
He knew that he couldn't blame his ex-wife, he wasn't sure how he should deal with it, he was very irritable, he wanted to find something, so he provoked two strong men and beat them up.
This scene can be regarded as the only action scene in this movie.
In order to make the effect realistic, Li Shengyao specially invited a martial artist from the family class to come over for guidance.
Although Zhang Songwen is not a martial arts actor, he has good acting skills, and he has been on the set for many years, so his acting is natural.
The two group actors have no experience in playing, so they hesitate and look awkward.
At this time, the assistant director and the action director went over to give a speech to the group, and Zhang Songwen stood by to listen, learning and sharing his experience.
Although he is a male lead, he doesn't have any shelves.
"Although it's not a real fight, but your shot speed must be fast, you must have strength, you can collect it, if you can't collect it, forget it, it's okay to hit me, I'm wearing thick."
"Wait a minute, when we rehearse, you remember this, don't ink, and make sure to shoot cleanly."
"We can rehearse a few more times, don't worry about time, we can't finish this scene until we finish filming, and I'll be with you."
Zhang Songwen's attitude made the two group performers relax a lot.
Li Shengyao clapped his hands and encouraged behind: "Take your time, if you don't work today, you will be tomorrow, and if you can't do it tomorrow, you will be the day after tomorrow." ”
The two ensembles nodded embarrassedly.
Soon after, the actors rehearsed, and this time the two group performers had much more natural expressions.
Li Shengyao smiled and applauded, which made the two group performers very excited.
I rehearsed for two hours, and in another hour and a half I will be off work, and if I don't finish it today, I will have to put it off until tomorrow.
The workers all looked at the two group performers, and there was urging in their eyes.
However, Li Shengyao stared at the set, they didn't dare to show it, but instead heard Li Shengyao's words, and showed an expression of approval one by one.
This time, the two group performers played well and successfully completed the filming with Zhang Songwen.
At this time, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was about to leave work, and it was already dark outside.
Li Shengyao held a loudspeaker, and then announced, "Dalian by the Sea" is finished. ”
Excluding the crew's vacation time, the filming of "Dalian by the Sea" took a total of 75 days to shoot, which is relatively normal for such a movie without any difficulty.
Li Shengyao had prepared for 80 days, but now he has advanced it by 5 days.
He is very happy, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, he wants to go back for the New Year, and after the New Year, he has no distractions and earnestly does the post-production for "Dalian by the Sea".
At this time, Li Shengyao's voice fell, and the workers immediately set off firecrackers.
Li Shengyao then took his assistant to distribute red envelopes to the actors and field workers.
When it was Zhang Songwen's turn, Li Shengyao patted Zhang Songwen on the shoulder, "Dinner at night, have a good meal, and then rest well." ”
Zhang Songwen was very tired, and he still had some small colds.
The last scene was the male protagonist, the second male and his girlfriend went to sea to play, at this time driving a yacht in the sea, blowing a cold wind, it is really easy to get sick.
Whether it is Lu Han or Zhang Songwen, they all catch a cold.
Considering that the condition was not serious, and everyone hoped to finish the work before the year, Zhang Songwen took some medicine to treat colds and hurriedly went into battle.
Fortunately, there is no fever and the cold does not worsen, but it is too cold here, so you should pay more attention to your body.
Zhang Songwen heard Li Shengyao's words and was very moved.
He is just a middle-aged actor who is not famous, and there are really many actors like him in the mainland.
The big guy's acting skills are okay.
If it weren't for Li Shengyao choosing him, he wouldn't know what the experience of being on the hot search was.
During the filming, Lee Shengyao played with him almost every night and held script workshops.
He encountered a bottleneck in his performance, but he also received encouragement from Lee Shengyao.
He is really grateful to Director Li, and he has a hunch that after acting in "Dalian by the Sea", his acting career will undergo qualitative changes, and all of this comes from Li Shengyao's appreciation and recognition.
"Director, I'll toast you a few glasses in the evening."
"You don't have to drink alcohol, drink more soup."
Li Shengyao then stuffed the red envelope to Lu Han, "This time the performance is good, keep up the good work." ”
When Lu Han heard this, he hurriedly bent down and saluted, "Thank you, Director Li." ”
Lu Han is very polite, and during the filming, Li Shengyao talked to him, asking him not to play a hero, a big man, a genius, and to play an ordinary Diaosi, with Lu Han's acting skills, he can control it.
Li Shengyao patted Lu Han on the shoulder, and then gave red envelopes to others, and at the same time told the actors and field workers.
"Tonight's celebration banquet, you must come."
