Chapter 195: Acting Bai Yueguang
Shen Jianian finished practicing a tune, and in the next second, the door of the rehearsal room was knocked twice, she stood up and put the cello away, and the door was just pushed open from the outside.
Yan Hong walked in, followed by a middle-aged man with a small beard, wearing a black polo shirt and brown casual pants, and his face gave people a literary feeling.
"Manager Yan." Shen Jianian smiled and said hello, not knowing what to call the man, so he nodded at him.
Yan Hong rubbed her hands, she didn't know how to start talking for a while, she understood Shen Jiannian's temperament, and she was very stubborn in some aspects, and she couldn't be moved by a few words or a promise of benefits.
"Jia Nian, I have something to tell you." Yan Hong looked at the man beside her, "Let me introduce you first, this is Director Wu Heng and my friend." ”
"I'll tell you." Wu Heng took over the conversation.
Shen Jianian was confused, and then heard the director named Wu Heng say that he was making a movie, and there was a female character who was a cellist, in her early twenties, and there were not many scenes, but they were very important. I was going to invite well-known actors to make cameos, and then find a professional cellist to be a stand-in for the cello part.
He tried to take a few shots, but the results weren't too good.
After discussing with the screenwriter, Wu Heng decided to find a real cellist in the orchestra to play.
It happened that a friend was the manager of the orchestra, so he took the time to come over, and just waiting for Yan Hong, he heard the cello sound coming from this rehearsal room, and came over to take a look out of curiosity, and felt that Shen Jianian's temperament was very in line with the feeling he wanted, and his external image was also very suitable for the role, so he decided to invite her to shoot this part.
Shen Jianian understood, pointed to himself and confirmed to Director Wu: "You mean to let me make a movie?" ”
Director Wu Heng touched the mustache on his lips and smiled kindly: "You understand correctly. ”
Shen Jianian was surprised, stunned for a few seconds, and said frankly: "However, I have no acting skills, I can't act, I can only play the cello." ”
Yan Hong was amused by her serious appearance, patted her hand on her back, couldn't hide her affection for her, turned her head and said to Wu Heng: "This kid is direct, it took a lot of effort to persuade her to join the orchestra." ”
Yan Hong is 46 years old this year, as a manager, usually responsible for performance arrangements, financial management, publicity and promotion, etc., people in the orchestra often jokingly call her "Yan Ma", which means that like the old mother, she has to worry about everything.
Since Shen Jianian joined the orchestra, Yan Hong has always taken special care of her, whether it is a solo performance or a concert with other members.
Therefore, everyone calls her "Yan's mother's daughter".
Shen Jianian is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, and she can't help but give Yan Hong's face, but she is really not good at acting.
Wu Heng saw her concerns and patiently explained: "This character doesn't have many lines, and the only important scene is playing the cello on stage, and her boyfriend is watching from the audience." ”
Boyfriend, boyfriend?
Shen Jianian was shocked, how could there be an emotional drama here?
"When you get to the filming site, I will guide you on how to act, so you don't have to worry too much about not being able to act." Wu Heng was very satisfied with her, and had already substituted her face in his mind to restore the scene in the script, "Unpolished jade sometimes bursts out with unexpected effects. ”
Shen Jianian pursed his lips tightly, his face hesitant.
Yan Hong gave Wu Heng a look, I said that she is not so easy to move.
Wu Heng had a bitter face, so he sent Shen Jiannian to make a gesture: "It's called Shen Jianian, right?" Help. ”
Shen Jianian couldn't say too tough words to a man who was nearly fifty years old and could be his father, so he had to look at Yan Hong.
"Wu Heng told me that the scenes related to this role can be filmed in a few days, why don't you try it?" Yan Hong's voice was soft, and she tried to persuade, "The filming location is in Jiangcheng, and it won't delay things." ”
Shen Jianian thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed to it.
*
The next morning, Shen Jianian went to report to the crew.
She didn't have an agent or assistant, so she went over alone and signed the contract first, because she was a "Yan Hong's person", and the director gave her a lot of money.
After only a few days of filming, Shen Jianian saw that the contract was written with 200,000 yuan before tax, which was enough to see the director's sincerity.
The first time he was on the set, Shen Jianian was curious about everything, the place he was currently in was a university, and there were no students on campus during the summer vacation.
The open space is full of crew equipment, silver tracks, cameras, monitors, lighting boards, prop boxes, thick black wires criss-crossed, slightly cluttered.
Shen Jianian took the skirt given to her by the costume designer and went to the bathroom in the teaching building next to her to change it.
The skirt was not so ornate and exquisite, a simple white shirt dress with a thin brown belt tied around the waist and off-white Roman sandals.
Under the parasol, an actress sits in a folding chair and a stylist puts her on makeup, holding a small pink fan to her neck in one hand and a script in the other. Next to him stood a little assistant, holding a cup of iced coffee with a straw in his hand.
A figure walked in front of her, and the actress raised her eyes and stayed on the other party for a while: "This is Wen Shuling found by the director?" ”
Wen Shuling is the role played by Shen Jiannian.
Hearing this, Shen Jianian paused and threw a look at the actress. She usually doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, she just feels that the other party is familiar, and she can't name her name for a while, so she says: "Hello." ”
The actress didn't have much of a show, and showed her a friendly smile: "Hello. ”
After Shen Jianian left, the actress's little assistant bent down and said in her ear: "She is the one who plays Wen Shuling." Yesterday afternoon, the director gave everyone a holiday, just to go to the orchestra to find people in person. ”
The actress commented: "The temperament is quite in line with Bai Yueguang's character,"
Wu Heng assigned a stylist to put makeup and hair on Shen Jianian, and took advantage of this time to tell her: "Familiarize yourself with the script first, the first scene is mainly to find feelings, don't be too nervous." After a while, I carried a cello on my back and walked down the boulevard. Wu Heng pointed to the road next to her, lined with tall and lush camphor trees, "The actor will block your way, you behave coldly......"
Speaking of this, Wu Heng didn't know what to think, and couldn't help laughing: "I think it's enough for you to act in this scene." ”
When this girl doesn't speak, she is cold enough in itself, and she doesn't need to act.
Shen Jianian was embarrassed, and his face was a little hot.
"In short, just listen to my guidance, it's not as difficult as you think." Wu Heng repeatedly advised, "Don't be nervous, as long as you don't be nervous, everything is easy to say." ”
As soon as a person is nervous, his face and limbs will subconsciously tense, and the filmed scenes will not be watchable.
After Wu Heng left, Shen Jianian picked up the script and read it intently, the plush brush gently swept over her face, and from time to time she listened to the stylist's instructions to "raise your chin a little", "look down your eyes" and "deviate your face slightly".
The script in her hand is not as thick as that of the female lead, there are only a few scenes, she has read it once, and the plot is very romantic and beautiful.
Shen Jianian wondered in his heart, the relationship between the male protagonist and "Wen Shuling" is so good, how to develop with the heroine?
Later, she learned from the female lead actress that Wen Shuling she played was the dead white moonlight of the male protagonist, which only existed in the male protagonist's mind.
She performed several scenes in a row, and the post-editing would be interspersed with the memories of the male protagonist.
After the preparations, Shen Jiannian finally met the male protagonist who played against her, before he stayed in the RV to do the styling.
The man looks like he is twenty-five or sixteen years old, with fresh short hair, and the broken hair on his forehead seems to be random, but in fact, every strand is carefully cared for, and the makeup on his face is very light, but there are no flaws, showing his handsome facial features to the greatest extent.
He was wearing a white T-shirt with a white shirt on the outside, all the buttons were scattered, and under it were light blue jeans and white sneakers.
Shen Jianian looked at him and remembered Pei Che in his youth.
The man put his left hand into his trouser pocket, walked straight to Shen Jiannian, snapped his fingers in her ear, bent down slightly, and said with a shallow smile: "This is the white moonlight that I can't forget?" ”
Shen Jianian took half a step back, not used to being so close to strangers.
"Hey, are you serious about taking half a step back?" The man straightened up, took out the hand in his trouser pocket, stretched it out in front of her, coughed lightly, and introduced himself in a slightly more serious tone, "Hello, my name is Gu Chongli, Gu of the three visits to the thatched house, worship of Chong, and politeness." If you want to play for a while, you must first be familiar with it. ”
Shen Jiannian gently shook the tips of his fingers and let go, and said lightly: "Hello." ”
"You're already in character?" Gu Chongli's seriousness only lasted for a second, and he started joking in the blink of an eye.
Shen Jianian didn't speak.
Gu Chongli asked her, "I don't know what your name is, how do I call you?" ”
As soon as he got out of the RV, the assistant pointed out the girl to him and said that this was the "Bai Yueguang" found by the director, who played the cello professionally.
Shen Jianian replied lukewarmly: "Shen Jianian." ”
"Shen, Jia, Nian?" Gu Chongli repeated her name word by word, the tail note rose slightly, squinted her eyes, and suddenly "hissed", "Is it a commendation, a missed one?" ”
Shen Jianian bowed her head, her attitude was still not very enthusiastic, she was not a familiar character, and she couldn't talk to strangers easily.
Gu Chongli took out his mobile phone from the pocket behind his butt and flicked a WeChat message to his friend.
"I remember hearing you say before, your brother's dead Bai Yueguang is called Shen Jianian, you say it's a coincidence, my dead Bai Yueguang is also called Shen Jianian."
After filming the work of a great director who has been silent for five years, his friend has won a few trophies, and he is no longer at the same level as an actor of the same age.
After a while, my friend replied, "Can you speak human language?" ”
It's too troublesome to type and explain, Gu Chongli saw Shen Jiannian walking away, held down the voice button, and said to the phone: "There is a new actress in the crew named Shen Jianian, who also plays the cello, and plays the dead white moonlight of the male protagonist in the play, isn't it a coincidence?" ”
