Chapter 167 Four Lines
Zhang Yuan got his own script.
But after opening it, he was dumbfounded and the corners of his mouth twitched.
There are four lines in total.
“Hey.”
"Yes."
"Ah."
"Okay."
It's all modal particles!
“This is not the same as Brother Qian’s words on stage.” Zhang Yuan scratched his head and complained.
"Brother Qian has more words than me."
Zhang Yuan originally thought that the so-called cameo could be at least a character of the level of Teacher Fan Wei.
In "Cell Phone", Fan Wei played the role of the male protagonist Yan Shouyi's hometown cousin, and his total screen time was less than five minutes.
But he thinks too much. How can he compare with Teacher Fan?
There are several pages of lines.
"It's convenient for me. It's not hard to memorize lines." He said with a wry smile.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his frown, Fan Bingbing, who had just arrived on the set, leaned her head and looked at the script in his hand.
"Hahaha..." Mr. Fan covered his mouth and laughed: "You don't have as many lines as the male protagonists in pornographic movies."
Zhang Yuan:...
I One day I have to shut your mouth!
"Don't worry, it's good to show your face." Seeing his livid face, Fan Bingbing comforted him.
“At least you don’t have to rely on drinking and being taken advantage of to get a role.”
Her expression suddenly darkened.
“That’s not because I keep my integrity, it’s mainly because there are too few female directors.” Zhang Yuan replied with a sideways glance.
"Hahaha... You're so funny. By the way, leave me your mobile phone number and we can contact you again later." Fan Bingbing has the temperament to do great things after all, and she immediately recovered from her low mood. Pulled himself out.
The two left each other's numbers, and then Zhang Yuan found a quiet place, took out the notebook he carried with him, and began to write and draw.
Not long after, the crew was ready and filming was about to begin.
The background of this scene is an internal meeting of the program team. In addition to Ge You who plays Yan Shouyi and Zhang Guoli who play Fei Mo, there are also three TV station staff including Zhang Yuan in the scene.
The shooting location was chosen in the large living room of a villa in the suburbs. It was decorated in a bookish style with books everywhere.
He is full of benevolence, justice and morality, but full of male thieves and female prostitutes. This is the contrast between this scene and the characters in it.
The plot of this scene is very consistent with the principle of three turns and four shakes in the concept of cross talk.
Fei Mo's speech was interrupted repeatedly, and in the end he even forgot what he wanted to say.
He slammed the table angrily, lit a cigarette and began to teach his subordinates a lesson.
The purpose of this scene is to point out the theme of the film through Fei Lao's words: Everyone's mobile phone has hidden secrets.
There are five people in one scene, no big actions, just lines.
This scene actually feels like a stage play.
According to the plot, when Zhang Yuan answered the phone, it was probably the third time that Mr. Fei was interrupted, and then he lit a cigarette and cursed in the street.
All the actors are in place. Zhang Guoli and Ge You sit opposite each other, as does another actor. Only Zhang Yuan is independent, standing between the two parties like a dividing line.
The good thing is that the camera is facing him, so he can really show his face, but it’s still a straight face.
Zhang Yuan estimated that Xu Fan should have fought for this seat for himself.
So don't worry about what other reasons people have for coming to you, but they are really doing things, and there is no ambiguity at all.
Now he is wearing a black leather jacket, a pair of dark blue jeans on his lower body, and a pair of black leather shoes.
This outfit makes him look like a mature old working man, who looks at least ten years older than his actual age.
"All departments are preparing."
"The actors are in the state."
"ACTION!"
With the assistant director's shout, Zhang Yuan's pitiful scene officially started filming.
"Hey, there's a phone, there's a phone..."
In the quiet scene, I remembered a colorful ringtone with a baby sound.
Don’t think it’s cheap now, but it was very popular back then, and you had to pay an extra 6 yuan a month to be eligible to use it.
Zhang Yuan, who was sitting on a plastic chair, immediately turned sideways and raised one thigh after hearing the ringtone, making it easier for him to take out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket.
When he picked up the phone, he frowned slightly. After all, Mr. Fei had been interrupted twice before.
After seeing the caller ID on his mobile phone, he nodded gently towards Zhang Guoli with an apologetic look, then leaned back, picked up the phone, and started his four "lines" .
“Hello.”
In the first sentence, he looked relaxed and his tone was very friendly.
"Yes."
In the second sentence, his expression became slightly more solemn, but he quickly relaxed again.
"Huh?"
In the third sentence, there was a hint of joy between his brows, as if he had heard some good news.
At the same time, he put his right leg on his left leg and crossed his legs.
"Okay."
In the last sentence, his tone was firm, as if he had made some promise.
After finishing the four sentences, he glanced at Zhang Guoli, who was waiting for him with a sullen expression. He quickly took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and lit it for the other person to express his apology.
“Stuck!”
Director Feng waved his hand, and the assistant director next to him shouted stop.
"Zhang Yuan, come here." Feng Xiaogang waved to him and called him to his side.
The other actors also gathered around and watched the replay together.
“Did I say the wrong words?” Zhang Yuan joked.
Fan Bingbing on the side almost lost her composure. She could still say the wrong words with only four modal words. Then she might as well go make a pornographic film.
Director Feng glanced at him and knew that this was a secret expression of dissatisfaction.
It's normal to have few words.
"It's not a big problem, but can you tell me that when you say these words, you seem to have designed a lot of movements?"
Director Feng thought, well, this is, you After saying that, I will finish the filming, and then we can leave and break up.
I still lack a "competitor".
The so-called competitors refer to those who compete with Fan Bingbing.
"Director Feng, this is it." Zhang Yuan took out his notebook and flipped through it.
“According to my costume and the relationship between the characters, my character should be around thirty years old, a subordinate of Fei Mo and Yan Shouyi.”
“Absolutely.”
< br>"According to the plot, Mr. Fei has been interrupted by phone calls twice. This is the third time he came to me, right."
"Yes.
"Here comes the problem. As a mature subordinate, after two situations occurred, he answered the phone for the third time, which made the leader unhappy. This kind of behavior without workplace philosophy does not seem to be what should happen here. On the characters." Zhang Yuan said word by word.
Feng Xiaogang opened his mouth, but he had never thought about it at all.
“Keep talking.” Uncle Guoli was one of his own, so he immediately answered.
“According to the plot, this call must be very important, so I would take the risk to answer it.”
“However, in the script, after I put down the phone, I was not in a hurry to leave. , or look worried and continue the meeting. "That means the content of the phone call is not that important. In this case, the only important thing is the person who called."
Including Zhang Guoli, Ge You, Xu Fan, and Fan Bingbing all leaned close to listen to his analysis with interest.
“If it were me, there are only three kinds of people who can make me feel so important.”
“Parents, lovers, and children.”
“But according to my understanding , parents and loved ones, I may ignore the calls and call them back after the meeting is over.”
"Only children's phone calls must be answered on the spot, even if it's against the world."
Just as Director Feng was about to refute his statement, he heard Xu Fan speak angrily.
"Yes, our Xiaogang is like this. He doesn't answer my calls for a long time, but his daughter still has to answer her calls no matter how busy she is."
Feng Xiaogang coughed slightly, with a frown on his face. Suppressed the words.
Xu Fan's tone was sour, because this daughter was born to Director Feng and his ex-wife, and she was a stepmother.
Zhang Yuan's words just touched the thorn in her heart.
The daughter is her father's caring little cotton-padded jacket, but Director Feng loves his daughter very much, but it's not just because of this.
His daughter Feng Siyu, like Wang Fei and Li Yapeng's daughter Li Yanran, suffered from congenital cleft lip and palate, and needed many surgeries to return to normal appearance.
A father who was born sick feels sorry for his child, so he naturally takes special care of him.
Zhang Yuan ignored the couple's quarrel and continued.
"So my design is that the character received a call from the child."
"And those four sentences are also responses to the child."
"Dad, dad."
"Yeah."
"Are you in a meeting?"
"Yes."
"I ranked first in the class this time."
"Huh?"
"You promised to help me buy toys if you ranked first in the exam." ."
"OK."
Zhang Yuan explained the subtext of his design completely, and everyone around him showed surprise.
Director Feng’s eyes suddenly turned red and he nodded.
"He designed a scene for four modal particles?"
What surprised him was not only that Zhang Yuan had thought deeply about the entire character for four insignificant lines.
I was even more moved by the subtext of the design.
Her daughter had cleft lip and palate surgery when she was less than two years old.
After the operation, the doctor warned that the child should not be allowed to cry, otherwise it will affect the recovery and easily cause the wound to collapse.
For this reason, Director Feng bought new toys home every day during that period, just to make his girl happy and prevent her from crying.
When Zhang Yuan mentioned children and toys in his subtext, he thought of himself.
There is no conflict or opposition between the greedy and lustful father and the father who loves his daughter. Instead, they can coexist together and even appear in the same person.
"Zhang Yuan, you are very good. We have never thought about it so carefully, but you have straightened out the logic of this character." Xu Fan looked happy.
After all, she was the one who introduced Zhang Yuan to the crew.
Now the other party's performance is not only excellent, but also far beyond her expectations.
She also has face.
"I find that you seem to have made progress again." Zhang Guoli also said: "You are much deeper than before on the crew of "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon"."
Zhang Guoli also didn't expect that this kid squatted beside him for a long time, finishing the whole job without saying a word.
No wonder he felt strange during the performance just now.
Zhang Yuan's actions and lines seem to be a system of their own, with a set of underlying logic.
When I heard it now, it was indeed true.
“Yesterday when we were shooting the long shot, we didn’t even show our faces. Zhang Yuan also designed the characters.” Fan Bingbing was still very interesting and found the right time to remind the director and help him speak.
Director Feng was silent for a while, then nodded.
“Okay, in this way, the logic is consistent.”
“The details of the characters are also richer.”
“The richer the details, the more real the characters are. "
"Our film is based on realism. The more realistic the better, you did a good job." He patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder.
Director Feng also found it incredible.
Originally, he thought that a young man like Zhang Yuan would probably be good at finishing his words honestly, and that the expressions and movements of the characters would not be dramatic.
Unexpectedly, he also wrote a biography of the character himself and was able to justify himself.
He thought that when Zhang Yuan came yesterday, he helped them solve the line they had been struggling with for a long time.
“Be kind!”
It seems his abilities don't stop there.
"Xiaogang." Just as he was thinking, his wife Xu Fan said: "I think he has designed the characters like this."
"It's a pity to only have four modal particles. Well, why not add more drama?"
Xu Fan said, giving an angry look.
I told you to give me more drama, but you didn’t listen.
It's okay now.
You obviously only gave me four sentences, but they still played tricks.
You look down on me too much. You should have listened to me earlier.
"Yes, you have to give him more opportunities to show off." Uncle Guoli also chimed in.
"Oh, okay, let me think about it." Director Feng was not perfunctory, but really thinking about it.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan raised his hand.
"Director Feng, if you may, I have two small opinions on the scene just now."
If he had spoken like this before, Feng Xiaogang would have never paid attention to him.
Who are you? How old are you? What qualifications do you have to give opinions?
But after the character analysis just now, Director Feng also felt that there was something in his stomach, so he slowly turned around and looked at him.
"What should I say?"
"First of all, I think there was something wrong with Uncle Guoli's performance just now."
Zhang Guoli's eyes widened.
You kid...
I have been speaking for you, but you are taking advantage of me!
That is to say, he is familiar with him and has a friendship with him in the cross talk circle. Otherwise, according to Zhang Guoli's temper, he would have fallen out with him long ago.
He was smiling but not smiling at the moment, tilting his head to look at Zhang Yuan.
"Then tell me, what did I do wrong in my acting?"
