Chapter 34: Is He Really a Genius?

After the filming of Zhou Yan's first scene, there was a long gap between the filming of the second scene.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhou Yan still follows Zhang Yimou and them every day to observe the shooting, but the difference is that as long as the shooting is free, Zhou Yan will run to ask Zhang Yimou and them for advice.

Zhou Yan has a lot of questions, from actor positioning to camera design, to lighting arrangement, as long as he doesn't understand, he will ask.

Fortunately, the targets he asked were scattered, so as not to make them feel bored, in addition to Zhang Yimou and Hou Xiaoxian, assistant director Gao Jinwen, chief photographer Zhao Fei and others were his targets.

The most outrageous thing is that he didn't even let go of Hu Zhong, the carpenter of the scenery making group.

At the beginning, everyone thought that Zhou Yan was a novelty, but as time went by, they found that Zhou Yan really had a tenacity, and they gradually got used to Zhou Yan wearing around the scene.

Sometimes Zhao Fei explained some technical issues in photography to his photography assistant, and after finishing speaking, when he saw Zhou Yan beside him, he would ask, "Does Zhou Yan understand?" ”

Later, Zhang Yimou saw that Zhou Yan was familiar with the entire process of the crew, and occasionally asked Zhou Yan to help do something.

When Zhang Yimou found out that Zhou Yan could complete the things he asked him to do well, he "got an inch" and began to give Zhou Yan some more difficult work.

There was even a scene where Zhang Yimou asked Zhou Yan to take the storyboard he wrote to communicate with the scenery, photography and makeup teams about the specific shooting details, which was already the work of the assistant director.

The weirdest thing is that when Zhou Yan went to communicate, there was no group of people who felt strange, and they all took it for granted that Zhou Yan came to communicate.

Zhang Yimou even feels that Zhou Yan is better than Li Jiehan in some aspects, because compared with Li Jiehan, Zhou Yan's popularity in the crew is much higher, and most people are willing to cooperate with Zhou Yan.

Especially on the side of the scenery group, as long as it is Zhou Yan's matter, they are very active.

Sometimes the crew is not just filming, some people have rivers and lakes, and it is also a skill to be able to coordinate all parties well.

More than a month has passed, and the weather has been much colder, and some groups have even burned the braziers.

At this time, it was finally Zhou Yan's turn to shoot the second scene, which was the scene where Zhou Yan practiced Song Lian drinking for two months.

This scene may be more demanding in terms of acting skills, but the difficulty in shooting is actually a little lower, because the scenes and angles are far less complicated than the previous scene.

Two fixed cameras were set up at the scene, and then a mobile camera was added, according to the director's requirements, Zhou Yan and Gong Li walked through from beginning to end first, without breaking in the middle.

When all the preparations were done, Zhou Yan stood outside and waited for the director to say "start".

All the staff at the scene held their breath, everyone knew that this scene was difficult to perform, so they were worried that Zhou Yan would make a mistake, and many people were ready to fight a tough battle.

Zhang Yimou's expression was also very serious, he attached great importance to this scene, and at the same time he also knew how difficult this scene was for a newcomer.

"Let's go."

After a start, Zhou Yan raised his feet and walked into the house.

At this time, Gong Li had already entered the state, she looked at Zhou Yan, and said with a drunken smile, "Young Master, you are back." ”

Zhou Yan leaned forward slightly, and said with a concerned expression, "Why did you drink wine?" ”

When he got here, Zhang Yimou leaned back slightly, Zhou Yan's performance was not bad, but the main event was still to come.

"Heh, sit down."

Zhou Yan first looked inside the room, and then walked to sit down opposite Gong Li.

Gong Li picked up her glass: "I am celebrating my birthday by myself...... Would you like to have a drink and congratulate me on my birthday? ”

As she spoke, Gong Li began to pour wine.

Hou Xiaoxian looked at the two of them nervously, the next scene is the first small peak in this scene, it depends on whether Zhou Yan can follow.

Gong Li poured the wine and stretched the cup in front of Zhou Yan, but spilled Zhou Yan's body.

Zhou Yan's body bowed slightly, and then he glanced at his clothes and desktop.

Zhao Fei, who was in charge of the camera, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and Zhou Yan firmly grasped Chen Feipu's conditioned reflexes and psychological state.

Normal people must be startled when they encounter this situation, but it can't be too exaggerated, Zhou Yan owes a little bit of his body is really just right, and then he didn't go to wipe his clothes first, but took Gong Li's wine, showing a trace of hesitation in the middle.

It doesn't matter whether this hesitation is because the clothes were spilled with wine or because she used the same cup as Song Lian, anyway, as long as there is this hesitation, this scene is fine.

"Okay, I'll have a drink, and I wish you to live to ninety-nine." Zhou Yan took a sip.

"." Gong Li snatched the cup back again: "I don't want to live so long, this nice thing to say to your father." ”

"I've heard everything......"

In the middle section, there were very few tests for Zhou Yan, mainly because of the performance of the heroine Gong Li, and both of them completed it smoothly.

Later, Zhou Yan took out a gift from his waist and gave it to Song Lian, and the rivalry between the two entered a climax.

When the performance came here, everyone on the scene didn't dare to breathe, it was not easy for this scene to go here smoothly, and everyone was afraid of interrupting the rhythm of the two because of their own carelessness.

Until now, Zhou Yan's performance has no problem at all, and he has long exceeded Zhang Yimou's expectations.

At this time, Zhang Yimou had been waiting for Zhou Yan's penultimate line.

When Gong Li said fiercely, "I took it, didn't you dirty my hands?" After that, Zhou Yan showed a trace of embarrassment and an expression trying to hide it on his face, "I didn't plan to send you and lie to you." ”

In a short period of time, an extremely rich expression flashed on Zhou Yan's face.

Whether Chen Feipu deceived Song Lian or not, and what kind of feelings he has for Song Lian, these are not explained in the play, so Zhou Yan's last expression is very important.

In the future, when the movie is released, the audience will also interpret Chen Feipu's psychology from Zhou Yan's expression, and Zhou Yan's performance is just right.

It's done!

Zhang Yimou clenched his fists fiercely, he knew that by this point, this scene had already been completed.

But now is not the time to celebrate, the play is not over yet.

"Lie to me? I'm used to being deceived, everyone lied to me, and you lied to me. ”

"You get out."

"Get out!"

"Feipu!"

In the last scene, the two stood looking at each other, and finally Chen Feipu bowed his head and said goodbye.

"I take my leave."

After Zhou Yan finished the last line, he began to walk out.

When he walked outside the door, it stands to reason that the scene was over, but Zhou Yan had been waiting for the director to stop, and if the director didn't stop, he didn't dare to stop.

After Zhou Yan walked out of a big section, Zhang Yimou hurriedly shouted, "Stop, stop, okay, it's over." ”

When Zhang Yimou announced the end, there was a burst of cheers at the scene, and everyone didn't expect it to be so smooth this time.

Zhou Yan is a newcomer, how can he perform so well, is he really a genius?

But Zhou Yan knew that he was not a genius, he was just well prepared, and he had been preparing for this scene for more than two months.

He also has this condition, if others prepare for this scene for more than two months, that drama will not be filmed in a few years.

Zhang Yimou was very happy to complete most of the scenes in two scenes in one go, and the rest of the time they only needed to shoot a few more sets of relatively simple shots, and the scene would be over.

During the break, Zhou Yan was surrounded by the staff on the scene, enjoying everyone's praise.

"Zhou Yan, you must have learned acting before."

"Hey, don't be like our Director Zhang in the future, and get an actor across majors."

"You're too godly."

"You're definitely not from CCTV, you're from Chinese opera."

In the face of everyone's praise, Zhou Yan said modestly, "I'm just diligent and can make up for it, I've been practicing during this time, you don't know, the key is that Sister Li is good, this scene just now mainly depends on Sister Li's expressiveness." ”

Gong Li listened to Zhou Yan say this next to her, and said with a smile, "I really want to thank you, if you hadn't pulled me to rehearse before, I wouldn't be so familiar with this scene, and you performed very well today, and I was also brought up by you." ”

This is not a lie, she is indeed because of Zhou Yanqi's state, if it was usual, this scene would not be so smooth.

After resting, Gong Li took some close-ups in the room, while Zhou Yan took shots of Chen Feipu talking to Song's mother outside.

……

This scene made Zhou Yan feel very happy, but there were sequelae when he acted well.

Zhou Yan's fan Liu Qing has new material now, and when he meets people, he says that although Zhou Yan is a newcomer, his acting skills are good, and he has played with Teacher Gong Li's rivalry over and over again.

In Liu Qing's mouth, Zhou Yan seems to have become a genius born for movies.

Zhou Yan was a little worried that he would be killed at first, but then he gradually got used to it, and everyone seemed to like to hear this.

Especially the little girls in the crew, they even treat Zhou Yan a little bit like a fan circle now, when it comes to Zhou Yan, it's good anywhere.
