Qingming three-day holiday, blockbusters can't watch this schedule, in fact, it is very suitable for some small-budget movies to be small, but this year a "Captain America 2" will be put in.

On the first day, he won 60 million yuan.

Some people will complain that the General Administration will put such a blockbuster into a small schedule and squeeze the schedule of other films.

But the film market has never been a zero-sum game, not that "Captain America 2" will not be released, and its hundreds of millions of box office will be divided by other movies.

Without "Captain America 2", many people would not go to the cinema during the long vacation!

The domestic market is still thinking about increments, whether it is an American film or a domestic film, as long as it can pull the audience into the theater and cultivate the audience's viewing habits, it can get a certain amount of support.

As soon as the long vacation passed, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei went to the magic capital.

The scenery in the studio of "Pieces of a Woman" has been set up, and the two need to enter the group in advance to rehearse the 25-minute long shot.

Joining the group with the two of them is also the actor of the midwife doctor in the movie, Teacher He Saifei.

He Saifei is very talkative in private, if you want to say that she is talkative, as soon as the three of them met in the shed, He Saifei took Liu Yifei's hand and chatted all the time.

It can be seen that she is very surprised to receive Zhang Yimou's play again.

"I really didn't expect to be able to cooperate with Director Yimou again, the last time we worked together was when we filmed "The Red Lantern Hangs High" in 91," He Saifei's joy was overflowing, "I didn't believe it when the casting director called me, I said you say it again, whose play, he said Zhang Yimou three times, I believe that Director Yimou really wants to film with me." But I can't be too eager on the phone, I have to take some gestures, I said, a director's play, I want to talk to my agent about the schedule. I pretended to be very calm and said, who is the hero and heroine of your play, and I have to think about it if the opponent actor is not good. ”

It's so fun to listen to He Saifei tell this kind of story.

He Saifei said: "He also said that the male protagonist is Zhang Yuanjun, the female protagonist is Liu Yifei, you play an obstetrician and gynecologist, the second female lead." I just said, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu's drama is quite good, you send me the script and startup time, and I will look at the schedule with my agent. ”

Speaking of which, He Saifei couldn't laugh anymore.

Liu Yifei said with a smile: "Xiao Liu's play is indeed okay. ”

It can be seen that He Saifei likes Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu very much.

"You're getting married early enough."

"It's not early, it's 25 years old." Liu Yifei said.

"Ah, then we are the same, I also got married at the age of 25." He Saifei felt closer to Liu Yifei.

The three of them chatted like this, but they quickly became familiar with each other, which was conducive to cultivating a tacit understanding between the rival actors.

Zhang Yimou should have been deliberately late, just to let the actors meet in advance and get acquainted with each other.

"It's all here." Zhang Yimou looked at the set, and motioned for everyone to sit down, "Let's read the script first." ”

The script is read, familiar and unfamiliar words, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei haven't read the script for a long time.

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei sat on one side of the table, and He Saifei sat opposite, and the three of them read the script sentence by sentence.

"Give her to me, she's blue." He Saifei read that in the film, she had to administer first aid to the newborn at this time, "Come, come on, don't sleep, don't sleep." Baby, look at me, look at mommy, ah, cry. ”

Liu Yifei cooperated with her, panting rapidly, showing nervousness and uneasiness.

"Don't sleep, kid, don't sleep."

Reading this, the two actresses couldn't cry anymore and couldn't read it anymore.

There was no other sound on the whole set except for the cries of He Saifei and Liu Yifei.

Zhang Yimou took the lead in applauding the three actors: "Great, really good." ”

It was easy to substitute the script reading, Liu Yifei took the tissue and wiped her tears, and burst into laughter: "I didn't cry when we were at home about this paragraph." ”

Zhang Yimou said: "So let's talk about the classic scene, sitting on the set, the scene is there, and the feelings are there." ”

He Saifei twitched and said, "Who wrote this script?" ”

The staff pointed at Zhang Yuanjun: "He." ”

Zhang Yuanjun pointed to Li Qiang on the side again: "I'll come up with an idea, which he wrote specifically." ”

Li Qiang quit: "Skimming yourself off at this time?" ”

The crowd laughed.

The first day of reading was clearly a success.

Both actors cried, and Zhang Yimou gave them time to recover: "We'll rehearse in half an hour." After that, I went to the side to set up the set.

Liu Yifei sat on the prop box and drank water: "It's a bit embarrassing, it's not a real acting, you can cry when you read the script." ”

"This shows that you are devoted, as the father of the child, I didn't cry, I was looking for my own reasons."

"That's you heartless, hehe." Liu Yifei said, "Do you want to wear a fake belly later?" ”

"Just put a pillow on it, and then put your stomach on the official start of filming."

The whole long shot starts from Zhou Ning's big pregnancy reaction and feels like she is about to give birth, until she gives birth to a child, and the script specifically states that this scene is "about 27 minutes long." ”

Liu Yifei thought that her rich drama experience would help her rehearsal, but she still thought that the difficulty of this long shot was simple.

The space is so big, and the positioning should be very particular.

The script doesn't give the actors how to move, so Zhang Yimou's first job on the set was to guide the three actors on how to move with the cameraman.

"You started to react from the side of the stove," Zhang Yimou taught Liu Yifei first, "from here to the table and sit down." ”

Liu Yifei walked from the stove to the table and sat down according to the director's instructions, and Zhang Yimou watched the picture in the palm monitor: "That's not right." The director bit his lower lip.

"Director, what's wrong." Liu Yifei asked.

Zhang Yimou shook his head: "You have no problem, but the whole picture does not have a focal point," Zhang Yimou looked at the frame just now, and then discussed with the photographer, "Put a bottle on the table." ”

"How tall?" The photographer said.

"Seventeen or eighteen centimeters, long-necked." Zhang Yimou gestured.

"Okay, just ask the props to get a wine bottle."

The props went to get the bottles, and the set continued to practice positioning.

On the first day of entering the group, the three of them only practiced moving, and after basically practicing positioning, it was already more than 10 o'clock at night.

The actors can go back to the hotel to rest, but Zhang Yimou still has to drag the camera and props team to a meeting.

"Ah————" Liu Yifei stretched, "You wash it, I'll change my clothes and go for a run." ”

"Stop running to hot pot restaurants and food stalls." Zhang Yuanjun said.

"I'm a professional actor, and body management is my job." Liu Yifei took out her athleisure outfit.

"It's just here, it's not like I haven't seen it." But Liu Yifei still went into the bathroom.

Liu Yifei changed her clothes and went down for a run, leaving Zhang Yuanjun alone in the room.
