Chapter 17: A Long Day! The crew starts filming!

"What a terrible and long day."

At night, Jalene dragged her heavy body back home, opened the door and came in, and collapsed on the bed like a puddle of mud.

The so-called home is actually a ridiculously small house she rents.

It is less than 10 square meters in total, located on the outskirts of the suburbs, next to the vegetable market and stinky ditch.

There is no toilet in the room, and there is no place to put your feet on a small table with a bed and a small table for eating.

The mottled skin of the walls resembles a fluffy piece of old rice paper under the dim light of the light bulbs.

Jalene's eyes were hollow, and her brain was stagnating.

It seems that if too many bad things happen, then the flow of time will slow down in perception, and Jia Lin feels that today has been extraordinarily long.

To make matters worse, her stomach was hungry again.

Alas, why do fat people always get hungry so easily?

She put a pair of fleshy hands on the swimming ring that protruded from her belly and rubbed it.

Belly fat, can you burn it automatically?

Why is life always so difficult?

Suddenly feeling tired, Jia Lin wanted to cry a little, but she didn't have the strength.

When I remember when I first received the audition notice, it was as if spring had suddenly arrived.

Here's your chance!

At that time, Jalene was so happy that she almost jumped up.

The audition required her to remember it well.

The heroine's best friend Lingling, between 20 and 35 years old, requires a slightly plump figure, a lively and cheerful personality, and a little joyful in her behavior.

The supporting actress is called Lingling, and she is also called Jia Lin.

She genuinely felt that the character was simply born for her.

Jia Lin thought that every feature was a perfect fit for the role, and when she received the audition notice, she was more or less happy in her heart.

Privately, I have been preparing for this audition for a long time, including the personality, habits and behavior patterns of this inconspicuous character.

How can the performance be recognized by the audition teacher, and how can the audience feel more happy.

Then, in order to prevent accidents at the audition, I deliberately didn't eat much today, and only ate a potato pad to pad my stomach.

Who would have thought that the audition would fail on a ridiculous fart, when she really wanted to cut a crack in the ground and immediately get into it and disappear directly from the world.

Thinking of the handsome guy's expression that he wanted to laugh but held back, Jia Lin was even more depressed.

Handsome guy, it's useless to believe in yourself, I've waited for so many years, and I haven't seen a miracle happen?

Hopefully you'll pass the audition.

Depressed and depressed, the food still has to be eaten, the hunger is really unbearable, she got up on the small dining table covered by the table cover and took out the remaining noodles and the wilted cabbage that she had only gone to the vegetable market last night to pick up.

Boil the water and put the noodles and cabbage directly into the pot, and then put some seasonings in the pot after cooking.

Oh, there's still a little old godmother on the table, that's great, have a proper and delicious ramen in the evening, fill your stomach first!

"I'm looking up, above the moon~

How many dreams are flying freely! ”

Finally, when I was ready to start, my mobile phone rang.

"Hey, hello, I'm Jia Lin, who are you?"

In order to save trouble, she even ate noodles with a pot, and her mouth was still a little hot at first, Jia Ling originally wanted to eat while answering the phone, but it was difficult to eat when she touched her lips several times, so she had no choice but to put it down and was unwilling, so she took chopsticks and blew a few bites, hoping to cool down quickly.

At this moment, I heard a voice from the phone:

"Jia Lin, right, you passed the audition for the crew of "I Want to See You" today, the package price is 10,000, and you will be notified of the specific shooting time when the time comes......"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I seem to be hallucinating from hunger, can you please say it again?"

Jia Lin was stunned, her chopsticks stopped in front of her mouth, and she fell into a stupor.

The person on the other end of the phone patiently said again:

"That's the number, yes. You're Jalene, right? Teacher Zhou said that it is you who wants it.

The crew of "I Want to See You", you passed the audition, the package price is 10,000 yuan, and the specific shooting time will be notified separately...... Are there any other questions? ”

"No problem, no problem, I ......"

Jia Linling seemed to want to ask some more questions, but her brain was blank and she didn't know what to say.

Toot toot!

The phone hung up over there.

Smack!

The chopsticks in Jia Lin's hand also fell on the table along with the noodles.

Sitting at the table in a daze, the hot noodle soup bubbling with water vapor confused her big face.

After all, she didn't eat that mouthful, but Jia Lin had forgotten about her hunger and pinched her fleshy arm fiercely.

Hiss!

Pain!

That's a real pain!

Jia Lin, who came back to her senses, woke up in pain.

Then the mind that was shocked by the surprise stopped working, and I was so happy that I almost fainted.

At this time, Jia Lin has been beaten by society, and her situation cannot be said to be wishful, or it can be said that she is about to be unable to get along.

Came to the capital from a small place, and after graduating from university, he became a family of Beipiao, and moved from the university dormitory to the current private house.

In addition to the odd money earned by my part-time job, my daily living expenses are mainly supported by my sister's meager salary.

The sister who works in a small city has a salary of 800 a month, and sends 500 yuan to herself, saying that she refuses to let her sister suffer in the capital, and only keeps 300 living expenses for her family.

Coming from a small place, she probably thought that this money was already a lot, but in fact, she could barely pay the rent.

It is very difficult for girls to take the road of cross talk.

Living in the capital is even more difficult, Jia Lin will go to the crew to take over the drama for the sake of life, but she has been unlucky recently, she has not received a job, and she has constantly auditioned and hit a wall.

On the contrary, it costs a lot of money to print resume photos.

This made her already poor life even worse.

A few days ago, she ran out of money, and in order to survive, Jia Lin even had to sell her treasured Walkman.

The Walkman was a ragtag, but it was a gift from her sister to her college and she hugged it every night to listen to music.

I changed the money to buy somen potatoes and rotten cabbage to fill my stomach.

It was the bag of noodles on the table, which was her last supper.

Jia Lin dropped her chopsticks and stood up, standing for a long time as if she was carved from clay and wood, and then jumped on the spot several times, happily like a child of more than 200 pounds, and the ground was rattling under her feet.

After a while, the excitement was slightly relieved, and she patted her broad chest and took a few deep breaths, what she wanted to do most at this time was not to eat noodles.

She picked up her phone and wanted to share the good news with those closest to her.

It's a pity that my mother can't hear the good news anymore.

Thinking of her mother, Jia Lin's nose was inexplicably a little sour.

Mom should be happy in heaven when she knows that I auditioned successfully and made such a lot of money, right?

When the phone was connected, she heard her sister's familiar voice, and Jia Lin couldn't suppress her trembling voice anymore with a crying voice:

"Sister, I've made money, are you okay?"

…………………………

In late October, the filming of the crew of "I Want to See You" was underway.

The first scene filmed today is Zeng Li in a café in the future timeline.

"Wait a minute, Sister Pear."

Just as filming was about to start, Zhou Yutang, who was sitting behind the monitor and followed Mr. Xue as the assistant director, frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

Zeng Li looked at it with puzzled eyes.

Zhou Yutang made a gesture of touching his earlobes and explained: "Sister Li, do you have any earrings?" Try it with earrings? ”

"Because of this scene, I want to feel that the 27-year-old Huang Yuxuan's mature and intellectual state can be highlighted as much as possible, so that it can be in stark contrast with Chen Yunru in the past."

"Huh? I didn't have earrings with me. ”

Zeng Li glanced at Zhou Yutang, a little embarrassed.

She doesn't have an assistant, and she is naturally beautiful, she doesn't even like makeup when she's not filming, but she didn't expect to use it for filming.

"Wait a minute."

Zhou Yutang went out directly and selected a few irregularly shaped but quite designed earrings in the nearest jewelry store, and used them in several different scenes, and asked the makeup artist to put Zeng Li on, and he really became a little more intellectual.

Even Zeng Li himself was a little surprised, and looked in the mirror: "Yu Tang, you have a good eye, and the style you choose is quite good-looking." ”

"Sister Pear likes it, so I'll give it to you, anyway, I don't have much money." Zhou Yutang said generously.

"Yu Tang, yes, he has the talent to be a director."

Teacher Xue's eyes lit up and patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder to express his appreciation.

Many times, when the audience watches a classic drama, they will only intuitively feel that it looks good, but in fact, those directors only create a story as a whole through the accumulation of countless inconspicuous details.

In the drama "I Want to See You", the heroine's performance is particularly important, especially the inferiority complex and sensitive Chen Yunru and the cheerful and generous Huang Yuxuan, the two obviously look the same but have diametrically opposite temperaments, forming a strong impact.

"Ah Tang, I have a lot of research on aesthetics."

Feng Boyuan also praised Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang said modestly: "I just understand a little, and I have to learn more from Teacher Xue and Brother." ”

To be honest, he always felt that the costumes and shapes of modern dramas in this period were a bit rustic.

So after communicating with the costume artist and makeup artist, some changes were made.

First of all, the school uniforms of boys in the school period are mainly white shirts with suit pants, and ties in individual scenes, and then girls are white shirts with over-the-knee skirts.

In addition, the costumes used in several scenes in the future timeline are also directly customized by the clothing factory under Zhou Yutang's suggestion.

The actor is a long dark windbreaker + black-framed flat glasses + cropped pants, with Yu Tang's appearance and figure last week, it is simply a walking hanger.

Even the female staff of the crew looked at the eyes of the crew, and wondered if they would go back to give their men a set......

Zeng Li is mainly a light-colored windbreaker with a waist-cinching chiffon shirt, knitted sweater and denim skirt, etc., a proper fashionable working girl style.

The quality of the clothing must be excellent, anyway, millions of dollars have been invested, and there is no need to save this little money.

After this little episode, the shooting continued.

Huang Yuxuan in 2019 is an intellectual working girl, but under the usual cheerfulness and generosity, there is a sadness that cannot be described in words.

She often misses her boyfriend Wang Quansheng, who died in a plane crash, and always feels that he has not left her, because she seems to be able to feel the breath of his existence.

That is until she received an old Walkman and a box of Wu Bai's tapes.

Scene switching.

on the bus.

Huang Yuxuan's eyes looked out the window, and a familiar shadow walked by the side of the road, and her eyes widened instantly.

That's the man she loved, obviously dead, but reappeared in her world!

Even if time flies, I only love one person affectionately.

Whether in the future or in the past, I just want to see you.

Li Ziwei, played by Zhou Yutang, glanced back, his eyes were full of tenderness and affection.

The infatuation and affection are just right.

From the young man's high spirits to the slightly white sideburns, he is still silently guarding Huang Yuxuan.

The front shot went well.

Zeng Li ate the script very thoroughly, as if Huang Yuxuan, a working girl who exudes a touch of sadness, lives alone with a clear miss but is strong.

That emotion was interpreted by her very moving.

The next scene filmed is Li Ziwei, who has traveled to the future, is giving Huang Yuxuan a cake, and the two of them take a glimpse when the elevator door closes, and they miss it.

The uncle actor and performance director of this play, Mr. Zhang Songwen, stopped filming after communicating with Director Xue.

"Stop, Yu Tang, you have a problem expressing yourself here."

As soon as Teacher Zhang Songwen shouted, Zhou Yutang ran over and listened humbly: "You have to pay attention, this is a future timeline that has not changed the past, so the future Li Ziwei woke up with an injured leg after being injured in a car accident, have you ever seen a lame walk?" It's not that simple, one deep and one shallow. ”

"Teacher Songwen, how should I act?"

Zhou Yutang, who was wearing a windbreaker, also realized his problem.

I just dressed cool and handsome, and forgot to put some details in place......

"Before I came to the crew, I studied this character, because of the sequelae left by a car accident, and then I deliberately observed the way this type of people walked, and found that they often walk with the uninjured foot as the main support foot, and then the other foot is very weak, I will show you again......"

Then Mr. Zhang Songwen came to the scene in the way he understood.

Absolutely.

Teacher Zhang Songwen's acting skills are amazing.

If Zhou Yutang is trying to play a person with an injured right leg, then Zhang Songwen is not acting.

It's just natural for him to be lame.

Whether it is the actors or the crew, including Zhou Yutang and Zeng Li, they are all amazed and admired.

"Teacher Songwen's performance is very exciting, and the mainland is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Even Feng Boyuan, a native of Xiangjiang, couldn't help but admire.

"Song Wen is a well-known drama addict in our film school."

Teacher Xue was also very satisfied and nodded.

He simply brought this state to life, as if he was really a person with an injury to his right leg that made it difficult to walk.

Zhou Yutang communicated with him for a while, thought about it a little, tried a few more times, and the effect was much better, and he admired it even more.

For this drama, he made a character biography of tens of thousands of words, including some specific behaviors of the actor Li Ziwei.

However, there are some things that are not accumulated without accumulation, and it is difficult to comprehend without careful observation of life.

In other words, even if Zhou Yutang knows Li Ziwei's walking habits, but without Zhang Songwen to guide him on the side, it is difficult for him to accurately present it in just the right way of acting.

That's where the performance director comes in.

Help the director and actors adjust the desired shooting effect to the best.
