Chapter 17 A long day! The crew starts filming!
“What a terrible and long day.”
In the evening, Jia Lin dragged her heavy body back home, opened the door and came in. She collapsed on the bed like a puddle of mud.
The so-called home is actually a ridiculously small private house she rented.
It is less than ten square meters in total and is located in a suburb within a suburb, next to a vegetable market and a smelly ditch.
There is no toilet in the room, and if there is a bed and a small table for eating, there is no place to stand.
The mottled skin on the wall looks like an old piece of fluffed rice paper under the refraction of the dim light of the light bulb.
Jia Lin’s eyes were empty and her brain gradually stopped functioning.
It seems that if too many bad things happen, the flow of time will slow down in perception, and Jia Lin feels that today has been extremely long.
What's even worse is that she's hungry again.
Alas, why do fat people always get hungry so easily?
She put her fleshy hands on the protruding swimming ring and rubbed it.
Can you burn the fat on your belly automatically?
Why is life always so difficult?
Suddenly feeling tired, Jia Lin wanted to cry, but she had no strength.
I remember when I first received the audition notice, it felt like spring had arrived all of a sudden.
Opportunity is here!
At that time, Jia Lin was so happy that she almost jumped up.
She remembered the audition requirements very clearly.
The heroine’s best friend, Lingling, is between 20 and 35 years old. She is required to have a slightly plump figure, a lively and cheerful personality, and her actions should look happy.
The supporting actress is called Lingling, and she is also called Jia Lin.
She truly feels that this role was created for her.
Jia Lin thought that every feature was perfect for this role. When she received the audition notice, she was more or less secretly happy.
Privately, I have been preparing for this audition for a long time, including the personality, habits and behavior patterns of this inconspicuous character.
How to perform to get approval from the audition teacher, and how to make the audience feel more entertained.
Then, in order to prevent accidents during the audition, I deliberately didn't eat much today and only ate a potato to cushion my stomach.
Who would have thought that the audition failed due to a ridiculous loud fart. At that time, she really wanted to dig a crack in the ground, get in immediately, and disappear from the world.
Recalling the expression on that handsome guy’s face when he wanted to laugh but couldn’t hold back, Jia Lin felt even more depressed.
Handsome guy, it’s useless to believe in yourself. I’ve been waiting for so many years and no miracle has happened?
I hope you can pass the audition.
Depressed as she was, she still had to eat. She was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore. She got up and took out the remaining noodles and the cabbage that she had picked up from the vegetable market last night on the small dining table covered by the table cover.
Boil the water, put the noodles and cabbage directly into the pot, and then add some seasonings to the pot after they are cooked.
Oh, there’s some Lao Gan Ma on the table, that’s great. Let’s have a delicious ramen dinner to fill our stomachs first!
“I am looking up, above the moon~
How many dreams are flying freely!”
After finally finishing the work and getting ready to start, the phone rang.
“Hello, hello, I’m Jia Lin, who are you?”
To save trouble, she simply ate the noodles with the pot in hand. It was a little hot at first. Jia Ling originally wanted to eat the noodles while eating them. Then I ate while talking on the phone. It was hard to eat when I touched my lips several times. I had no choice but to put it down and refused to give in. I took a few puffs with my chopsticks, hoping to cool it down quickly.
At this moment, I heard a voice coming from the mobile phone:
"Jia Lin, right? You passed the audition for the "Want to Meet You" crew today, and the package price is 10,000, specifically We will notify you when the shooting time comes..."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I seem to be hallucinating from hunger. Could you please say it again?"
Jia Lin was stunned, her chopsticks stopped in front of her mouth, and she fell into a daze.
The person on the other end of the phone patiently said again:
“That’s the right number. Are you Jia Lin? Teacher Zhou said you are the one he wants.
The crew of "Want to Meet You", you passed the audition, the package price is 10,000, the specific shooting time will be notified later... Do you have any other questions? "
"No problem, no problem, I..."
Jia Linling seemed to want to ask more questions, but her mind went blank and she didn't know what to say.
Dudududu!
The phone over there was hung up.
Crack!
The chopsticks in Jia Lin's hand also fell on the table along with the noodles.
Sitting in front of the table blankly, the steam from the hot noodle soup blurred her big face.
After all, she didn't eat the noodles, but Jia Lin had forgotten her hunger and pinched her fleshy arm hard.
Hiss!
It hurts!
That really hurts!
When Jia Lin came back to her senses, she woke up from the pain.
Then my mind stopped functioning due to the surprise, and I was so happy that I almost fainted.
At this time, Jia Lin has been severely beaten by society. Her situation cannot be said to be satisfactory, but it can also be said that she is about to be unable to survive.
I came to the capital from a small place. After graduating from university, I gloriously became a member of the Beipiao clan. I moved from the university dormitory to this private house.
In addition to the scattered money earned from working, daily living expenses mainly depend on my sister's meager salary.
My sister who works in a small city earns 800 yuan a month, and she sends 500 yuan to herself. She refuses to let her suffer hardships in the capital at all costs, and only keeps 300 yuan for living expenses and family expenses.
Coming from a small place, she may have thought that the money was a lot, but in fact it was barely enough to pay the rent.
It is difficult for girls to take the path of cross talk.
Living in the capital is even more difficult. Jia Lin will go to the crew to take roles in order to make a living. However, she has been unlucky recently and has not received any jobs. She keeps getting rejected in auditions.
On the contrary, it cost a lot of money to print resume photos.
This made her already poor life even worse.
Funds ran out a few days ago. In order to survive, Jia Lin even had to sell her treasured Walkman.
This Walkman is a brand-name product, but it was a college gift from her sister. She holds it and listens to music every night.
I exchanged money to buy noodles, potatoes and rotten cabbage to fill my stomach.
That package of noodles on the table was her last supper.
Jia Lin dropped her chopsticks and stood up. She stood for a long time like a clay sculpture and then jumped on the spot several times. She was as happy as a child weighing more than 200 kilograms, and the ground made a rumbling sound under her feet. .
After a while, her excitement eased slightly. She patted her broad and thick chest and took a few deep breaths. What she wanted to do most at this time was not eat noodles.
She picked up the phone and wanted to share the good news with those closest to her.
It’s a pity that my mother can no longer hear the good news.
Thinking of her mother, Jia Lin's nose felt inexplicably sore.
My mother will be very happy in heaven when she knows that I succeeded in the audition and made such a huge amount of money, right?
When the call was connected, she heard her sister’s familiar voice. Jia Lin could no longer suppress her trembling voice and cried:
“Sister, I’ve made money, you still have to Okay?”
……………………In late October, the filming of “Want to See You” was in progress.
The first scene shot today is Zeng Li in the future timeline in a cafe.
"Wait a minute, Sister Li."
Just as the filming was about to start, Zhou Yutang, who was sitting behind the monitor with Teacher Xue as the assistant director, frowned and felt something was wrong.
“What’s wrong?”
Zeng Li looked over with puzzled eyes.
Zhou Yutang touched her earlobe and explained: "Sister Li, do you wear earrings? Try wearing earrings?"
"Because of this scene, the feeling I want is Try to highlight the mature and intellectual state of 27-year-old Huang Yuxuan, so as to be in sharp contrast with Chen Yunru in the past."
"Huh? I didn't wear any earrings."
Zeng Li glanced at Zhou Yutang. A little embarrassed.
She has no assistant and is naturally beautiful. She doesn’t even like makeup when filming, so she never thought she would use it for filming.
“Wait a moment.”
Zhou Yutang ran out directly and picked out several irregular-shaped but quite designed earrings from the nearest jewelry store. He used them in different scenes. After letting the makeup artist put it on Zeng Li, she became more intellectual.
Even Zeng Li herself was a little surprised. She looked in the mirror and said, "Yu Tang, you have good taste and the styles you chose are pretty good-looking."
"Sister Li likes it, so I'll give it to you. Well, it’s not much money anyway,” Zhou Yutang said generously.
"Yu Tang, you're good. You have the talent to be a director."
Teacher Xue's eyes lit up and he patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder to express his approval.
Many times, when the audience watches a classic drama, they will only intuitively think it is good-looking. In fact, those directors create a whole story by stacking countless inconspicuous details.
In the drama "Want to See You", the performance of the heroine is particularly important, especially Chen Yunru, who has low self-esteem and is sensitive, and Huang Yuxuan, who is cheerful and generous. The two obviously look the same but have completely opposite temperaments, creating a strong impact.
“A Tang, you are very knowledgeable about aesthetics.”
Feng Boyuan also praised Zhou Yutang.
Zhou Yutang said modestly: "I only know a little bit, and I still need to learn more from Teacher Xue and Brother Bo."
To be honest, he always felt that the costumes and styles of modern dramas of this period were Somewhat rustic.
So after communicating with the costume artist and makeup artist, I made some changes.
First of all, the school uniforms for boys during their student days are mainly white shirts and suit pants, and in some cases, ties. Then for girls, they wear white shirts and knee-length skirts. Outside of school, they have different configurations, mainly filled with a youthful atmosphere.
In addition, the costumes used in several scenes in the future timeline are also directly customized by the clothing factory at Zhou Yutang's suggestion.
The male protagonist wears a long dark windbreaker + black-framed flat glasses + nine-point pants. With Zhou Yutang's appearance and figure, he is like a walking clothes rack.
Even the female crew member’s eyes gleamed when she saw it, and she was wondering if she should go back and dress her man in one.
Zeng Li mainly wears light-colored trench coats with a waist-cinching effect. Chiffon shirts, knitted sweaters and denim skirts, etc., perfectly fashionable working girl style.
The quality of clothing must be excellent. After all, millions have been invested, so there is no need to save this little money.
After this small episode, filming continued.
Huang Yuxuan in 2019 is an intellectual working girl. However, under her usual cheerfulness and generosity, there is a sadness that cannot be described in words.
She often misses her boyfriend Wang Chuansheng who died in a plane crash, and she always feels that he has not left her because she still feels the presence of him.
Until she received an old Walkman and a box of Wu Bai tapes.
Scene switching.
On the bus.
Huang Yuxuan looked out the window and saw a familiar shadow walking by the roadside, and her eyes widened instantly.
That was the man she loved so much. He had obviously passed away, but he reappeared in her world!
Even if time flies by, I only love one person deeply and deeply.
No matter the future or the past, I just want to see you.
Li Ziwei, played by Zhou Yutang, looked back, his eyes full of tenderness and nostalgia.
Keep that infatuation and affection just right.
From being a high-spirited young man to having slightly white temples, he is still silently guarding Huang Yuxuan.
The previous shot went smoothly.
Zeng Li has read the script thoroughly, as if she is the real workplace girl Huang Yuxuan who exudes a touch of sadness, clearly missing her but forcing herself to live a strong life alone.
The emotion she performed was very touching.
The next scene was shot when Li Ziwei, who traveled to the future, was delivering a cake to Huang Yuxuan. The two caught a glimpse when the elevator door closed, but missed it.
Teacher Zhang Songwen, who plays the uncle in this play and is the performance director, stopped filming after communicating with Director Xue.
"Stop, Yu Tang, there is something wrong with your expression here."
As soon as Teacher Zhang Songwen shouted, Zhou Yutang ran over and listened humbly: "You have to pay attention, there is no Change the future timeline of the past, so Li Ziwei in the future wakes up with an injured leg. Have you ever seen a lame walking? "
"Teacher Songwen, how should I act?"
Wearing a windbreaker, Zhou Yutang also realized his problem.
I just dressed up to look cool and cool, and forgot to put some details in place
“Before I came to the crew, I studied this character because of the sequelae of a car accident, so I went to observe this character specially. The way a certain kind of people walk, I find that they often walk with the uninjured foot as the main supporting foot, and then the other foot is very weak. Let me demonstrate it to you."
Teacher Zhang Songwen then It happened on the spot according to the way he understood it.
Absolutely.
Teacher Zhang Songwen’s acting skills are amazing.
If Zhou Yutang is trying hard to play a person with an injured right leg, then Zhang Songwen is not acting.
He is naturally lame.
Both the actors and crew, including the leading actors Zhou Yutang and Zeng Li, were all amazed and admired.
"Teacher Song Wen's performance was wonderful. The mainland is really like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Even Feng Boyuan, a native of Xiangjiang, couldn't help but admire.
"Song Wen is a famous drama addict in our film school."
Teacher Xue was also very satisfied and nodded.
He simply brought this situation to life, as if he really had 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, and tried it a few more times. The effect was much better, and he was even more impressed.
For this drama, he wrote a character biography of tens of thousands of words, including some specific behaviors of the leading actor Li Ziwei.
However, it is difficult to understand some things without the accumulation of foundation and careful observation of life.
In other words, even if Zhou Yutang knew Li Ziwei's walking habits, without teacher Zhang Songwen's guidance, it would be difficult for him to accurately present them in the right way.
This is the role of a performance coach.
Help directors and actors adjust the desired shooting effects to the best.
