Ninghang, a KFC in the old city, has been restored to the appearance of the 90s, although it does not look so modern, but the seats are brand new.

Chen Kun, who looks much younger, is eating hamburgers and fries in the restaurant, although he is 37 years old, he is almost the same as a young man in his twenties after putting on makeup, but there is not much innocence in his deep eyes.

There are other customers in the store, young couples and parents with children.

At this time, a small flat head wearing a somewhat wrinkled white shirt walked in at the door of the store, Ma Qingyang, who had finished wearing makeup, looked a little younger, held a resume in his hand, looked around, straightened his body and walked to the front desk.

Looking at the little girl with a delicate face in front of her, a very smooth white shirt ironed inside the red vest, and a tie, Ma Qingyang asked calmly, "Hello, I'm here to apply, is the manager there?"

The guest waitress was a young actress from the company, and the only scene was to play with Ma Qingyang, obviously a little flustered, and her originally straight body couldn't help but relax, and lowered her head slightly to look at Ma Qingyang.

Li Qian in front of the monitor shook his head, and Qi Yukun next to him whispered, "Ma Qingyang is too calm. ”

"Hmm. Li Qian uttered a syllable, but did not stop.

Immediately after that, Wang Yaoqing, who played the manager of KFC, appeared, and his aura was enough, even if he wore a suit that seems a little old-fashioned now, he was a successful person.

Wang Yaoqing glanced down at Ma Qingyang, and unlike the waiter girl, he looked at Ma Qingyang condescendingly, instead of lowering his posture.

glanced at Ma Qingyang's whole body, took his resume casually, flipped it up casually, and returned it to him.

Speaking Mandarin with a strong flavor of Baodao, he directly refused, "I'm sorry, you don't meet our requirements." ”

Ma Qingyang was slightly stunned, "Manager, I have read the recruitment requirements, and I fully meet the above conditions, and I can also speak English." ”

"We are a big international company, and we don't just need to speak a few words of English. ”

Wang Yaoqing pointed to the surroundings of the store nonchalantly, the fashionably dressed guests, the waiters who were also dressed in high class, good appearance and figure, continued to speak awkward Baodao Mandarin, and said with a high Yang look, "Look, you are not suitable here." ”

"Okay, click!"

Li Qian patiently watched a complete scene before shouting, and at the same time, Ma Qingyang and Wang Yaoqing called over.

took out the shot that was not taken just now and put it to them, mainly for Ma Qingyang to see.

"Ma Dong, you see that from the moment you entered the door, the whole person's posture was wrong, this is the first KFC in Nanjing and Hangzhou, a high-end place, and you are here for an interview, so calm. ”

The first time, there were a lot of questions, and Li Qian patiently said little by little, those who have never acted, don't think about how smooth it is.

Ma Qingyang had a different opinion, "That's true, KFC was rarer than five-star hotels back then, but at that time, I brought students to interview, and it was this mentality, I remember it very clearly." ”

"But now you're not taking students for interviews, in the plot, you're just an ordinary job seeker, it's different. ”

It is a fact that Ma Qingyang was rejected when he applied for KFC, but as a university teacher, he brought his 23 students to the interview, and all the students were successfully interviewed, and he was rejected alone.

The plot only takes the core, that is, the application for KFC was rejected, and the specific Li Qian made changes.

"In other words, I'm playing a poor boy looking for a job?" asked Ma Qingyang.

"You don't have to be too low, as long as you don't take it a little bit quietly, and the rest can be shown in the comparison of the whole scene. ”

Li Qian pointed to what Ma Qingyang was wearing and explained, "The shirt on your body has obvious folds, but the waiters are straight and flat, with a red vest and a white shirt and a tie, as well as the clothes of these guests, most of the adults with children are wearing neat suits, and the young couples are all more avant-garde clothes of this era, and this contrast comes out." ”

KFC was really tall back then, and going to KFC was no less than a modern blind date, dressed up beautifully, and it was normal for adults to wear suits when they went to eat.

In this play, you are relatively on the weak side, including Wang Yaoqing saying that you are not suitable for this environment, which is disguised contempt. Li Qian continued.

"As soon as I said this, I understood that there are really many ways to make movies. Ma Qingyang was clear, and he didn't watch the movie less, so he probably understood what was going on.

However, he was still a little curious, "But why highlight my weakness?"

Li Qian said with a smile, "Ma Dong, think about it, if the audience in front of the big screen saw a character like you when the time came, and there was also this kind of job search experience back then, would it feel a little better." ”

Ma Qingyang suddenly pointed at Li Qian, and smiled evilly, "It's worthy of Director Li." ”

Lao Ma is a shrewd person, and he is especially good at chicken soup, can he still understand the meaning of Li Qian's setting of this scene.

is also chicken soup, comfort the audience, see that Ma Qingyang couldn't find a job as a waiter back then, and he hasn't become an Internet bigwig, don't be depressed when you young people encounter some setbacks.

What the hell is this smile, Li Qian explained, "I am just giving contemporary young people some confidence in the workplace through Director Ma's deeds, and then it is convenient to play with Chen Kun, after all, as a person who has lived for more than fifty years, he should take the initiative in the process of getting along." ”

In fact, it is necessary for Ma Qingyang to rein in his edge, and when he should be high-spirited in the future, he still has to be public.

After telling Ma Qingyang, Li Qian corrected Wang Yaoqing's performance again, asking him not to play contempt into contempt, and to act like a villain.

Wang Yaoqing is a native of Baodao, and the KFC executive who rejected Ma Qingyang back then was also a native of Baodao, and there were indeed many people in Baodao and Xiangjiang who served as managers in mainland companies at that time.

In fact, even now, the management of many enterprises has a large number of people from Xiangjiang and Baodao, and it is common for them to despise the mainland.

Carefully explain every detail of that shot, and then continue filming.

Wang Yaoqing's role in this kind of role is simply a true performance, and after mentioning a few sentences, he grasped it very well.

Although Ma Qingyang is not a professional actor, he is a businessman and a politician, which is more powerful than an actor, and after explaining to him how to act, it is getting smoother and smoother.

After only shooting five times, Li Qian felt that it was almost the same.

"Okay, pass!"

However, Ma Qingyang seemed to enjoy the filming process, but he took the initiative to get in front of the monitor, looked at his performance just now and said, "I think this expression here just now is still a bit out of place, you can do it again." ”

Come on, people have a lot of opportunities, and the bigwigs who get millions of dollars in minutes don't care about delaying time, and Li Qian will accompany him to continue filming, anyway, there are not many scenes.

Ma Qingyang was very enjoyable, and he filmed it twice.

He was still not satisfied, kept improving, Li Qian quickly analyzed him a lot, said a bunch of professional terms, and said that it was perfect, so he was bluffed and stopped insisting on reshooting.

More than two hours have passed, followed by the scene where Ma Qingyang was about to leave KFC, but was stopped by the actor Chen Kun.

"Scene 124, two shots once, start!" 7 asked

"Rejuvenation" will be very long, the script is more than 150 minutes, and the scenes are naturally half more than Li Qian's previous films.

After shooting a scene almost ten times in a row, Ma Qingyang has almost figured out the process of filming.

Of course, it was limited to his own performance, and when he heard the executive director shouting to start, he silently recited in his heart for three seconds to start performing.

Compared with the confidence when he came in, Ma Qingyang's mood was a little low when he left, and when he passed by Chen Kun, he stopped him, and he heard the conversation between Ma Qingyang and Wang Yaoqing just now.

"Hello, are you an English teacher?"

"Yes, I am. Ma Qingyang stopped.

"I just heard you want to get a job. Chen Kun pointed to the other side, his young face had a maturity that was very different from his appearance, and there was a very indifferent smile in his eyes, "I want to learn English, and I just need a teacher." ”

"Learn English?" Ma Qingyang looked at Chen Kun, who was in his twenties, a little strange, looking at his temperament, he shouldn't be a college student.

However, whether it is tutoring or learning from scratch, it is a job, and Ma Qingyang also sat down to talk to Chen Kun.

After chatting for a while, Chen Kun talked about the reason why he wanted to learn English.

He looked into the distance, fell into the meeting, and said leisurely, "When we were on the Beibang battlefield, we surrounded a platoon of rice grain jian devils, and just when we were about to encircle and annihilate this force, suddenly a yellow-skinned person on the other side ran out and shouted at us, "Don't shoot, I'm Chinese"

The company commander believed his words and ordered to stop shooting, but the Mi Lijian behind the two devils seized the opportunity to counterattack, causing us heavy losses and running out of the encirclement. ”

"???" Ma Qingyang was stunned.

looked at Chen Kun fixedly, and found that he was not crazy, and there was nothing wrong with his ears.

Suddenly, Ma Qingyang was in awe, "It turns out that there are elders in your family who participated in the Anti-Mi Aid Dynasty, that second devil is called Lu Chaoran, I have heard about this matter, every time he met the volunteers on the Beibang battlefield, he would always shout in Chinese "Don't shoot, I am a Chinese", and then in exchange for trust to kill the volunteers, and because of this, he became famous. ”

Ma Qingyang directly ignored Chen Kun's first person, and took it for granted that this was Chen Kun telling the story of the elders in his family.

Chen Kun shook his head, and didn't explain, but said, "Since then, the company commander has regretted it, he also thought about infiltrating behind enemy lines to seduce Mi Lijianren, but we don't look like each other, and we can't speak English."

There is only one person in the company who can speak stick words, so he has no choice but to pretend to be a Nanbang army to deceive Mi Lijian and fight an ambush ......."

Listening to Chen Kun talk about the bloody war past, although there is no picture, Ma Qingyang still feels full of blood.

Gradually, the waiter passing by stopped beside him, and the guest next to him also turned his head and looked at Chen Kun, who was "telling a story".

After the story was told, Chen Kun said to Ma Qingyang with a serious face, "I was also recognized by the enemy once, it would be nice if I could speak English at that time, and it would be perfect to install the southern stick army, I haven't had a chance for so many years, and this time I happened to meet it, so I want to ask you to teach me English." ”

"No... No problem!"

Ma Qingyang responded in one bite, and he had already made up a story about the grandson of a combat hero who wanted to complete his regrets for his grandfather and learn English.

......

There was a scene in the KFC store, Ma Qingyang went to apply for a job and was rejected, and then met Chen Kun, Chen Kun wanted to ask him to be his English teacher, and by the way, he told a reason, and when he told the story, the whole KFC people were watching.

In the nineties, there was never a shortage of listeners for this kind of story.

In fact, Ma Qingyang doesn't have many scenes, just four scenes.

first got acquainted, as the actor's English teacher, the second scene is the two surfing the Internet in an Internet café, the male protagonist chatting with Ma Huaqian, who is dressed as a girl in the chat room, and Ma Qingyang, the three of them talk about the current Internet.

The Internet cafes in the 90s were full of big-headed computers, and it is definitely not possible to find the current Internet café, not to mention the machine, even the chairs, mice, keyboards and other things are all worn out, not to mention the internal environment of the Internet café.

The indoor scenery was set up, and a nineties Internet café full of big-headed computers came out.

The whole studio is divided into two rooms, one is an Internet café, and the other is Ma Huaqian's room.

Although Ma Huaqian did not participate in the performance in person like Ma Qingyang, after hearing that Ma Qingyang was a real actor, he became more and more interested and proposed to observe it on the spot.

So, the two scenes were filmed at the same time, Li Qian and Ma Huaqian were connected to the video, and Ma Huaqian was watching the picture in the monitor at the other end of Shenzhen.

"Ma Dong, wait a minute, let's prepare. ”

Li Qian said hello to Ma Huaqian, who was on the other side of the computer video call, and began to talk to Ma Qingyang.

"Ma Dong, this scene is a scene where you talk about the Internet, so when you are typing and chatting, your emotions must come out, because this is your future career, the excitement of meeting a confidant, the crackling movements, expressions, and eyes of the keyboard must be in place, of course, don't knock too skillfully, be unfamiliar. ”

After talking to Ma Qingyang, it was Chen Kun's turn again.

"It's still the same as before, remember that you are a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and has been back and forth several times in the ghost gate, and you are in your fifties at heart, indifferent, and wise, these are the two most important characteristics, and you have to show them. ”

"I understand, Director Li!" Chen Kun nodded in response, after acting for more than ten years, if you can't even understand the characters, you can simply go back to the film academy and rebuild it.

"OK, departments get ready. ”

Five minutes later, filming officially began.

Li Qian looked at the six monitors in front of him, two of them were in the next room, playing the young actor of Ma Huaqian, and the other group of people were filming there, which meant that the chat between the three of them was real-time.

Half of the monitors are the expressions of three people, half are three big-headed computer screens, and the interface is a chat room for several people.

At that time, on the big screen, the main use is the computer screen.

has already started chatting, the actor who plays Ma Huaqian is pretending to be a girl and chatting with Chen Kun and Ma Qingyang, and the avatars are all girls.

"Ma Dong, what do you think?"

This is probably the first generation of women's clothing bosses, but it's a pity that they just pretend to be women to chat, there were no cameras in that era, otherwise you have to wear women's clothes and makeup to deceive people.

Li Qian turned his head to look at Ma Huaqian in the video chat, and asked with a smile, "Were you like this back then?"

A trace of memory flashed in Ma Huaqian's eyes on the computer screen, looking at the actor who played himself and chatted with people in a female tone, he looked embarrassed, smiled unconsciously, and narrowed his small eyes behind his rimless glasses.

"It's a little different, I remember the first time I dressed as a woman, in addition to being embarrassed, I was also very anxious, because I was anxious to keep users, but after all, I was not a woman, and I didn't know how to use girls to chat.

I often get it back in a hurry, I want to continue talking, but I am not so used to chatting and typing in a girl's tone, I don't know the way girls speak, I am afraid of goofs, and I am even more embarrassed, you know that feeling, sometimes it is the feeling of being anxious and unable to talk. ”
