Chapter 76 You performed very well (please subscribe)
He Wuming finished a set of actions and then turned his head. He had heard footsteps just now and knew that someone had come in. It was just because he was teaching. So there was no looking back.
Seeing Zhou Yan, a smile appeared on He Wuming's originally serious face, "Good morning, Director Zhou."
As soon as He Wuming called him that, Zhou Yan knew that he should I knew I was here in advance, so I wasn't surprised at all.
"How did you know that I am also in this crew?" Zhou Yan asked.
"What do I do with my long mouth? Don't you know how to ask?"
He Wuming first knew that the soundtrack director of this film was Zhao Jiping. He wondered if Zhou Yan was there, so he asked Chen Kaige, only to find out that Zhou Yan had already Transformed from a soundtrack assistant to a field director.
Leslie Cheung, who was standing at the back, looked surprised. It turned out that Teacher He was not born with a bad face, but only had a bad face towards him.
As for Zhou Yan, Leslie Cheung only met him on the day of the meeting. They didn't exchange a few words at that time, so the impression was not particularly deep. He only knew that Zhou Yan was the on-site soundtrack director.
The key is that Leslie Cheung has never heard of the position of live soundtrack director before, so he doesn’t understand what Zhou Yan does in the crew.
Zhou Yan said hello to Leslie Cheung again, "Teacher Zhang, good morning."
"Director Zhou, good morning." Leslie Cheung replied very politely.
When Leslie Cheung speaks, a shy smile will appear on his face, which is very different from the feeling in movies and on stage.
And Zhou Yan always feels that after only a few days, Leslie Cheung's body movements have become a little more feminine compared to the last time they met. It may be because of the shape of Xudanjiao's hands. When he speaks, Will squeeze his hands unconsciously.
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Teacher Zhang has worked hard during this time, and Teacher He is very strict."
He Wuming also laughed, "You don't have to beat around the bush and say I'm picky. Since I took this job, I naturally have to be responsible for them."
Zhou Yan said with an innocent face, "It's really unfair. I am right Only Taotao admires Teacher He, and everything he says comes from the bottom of his heart."
He Wuming has long been used to Zhou Yan talking like this. He pointed to the chair next to him, "Please sit down for a while, we are here this morning. The class is not over yet."
Zhou Yan waved his hand, "It's okay, you guys continue, I'll go somewhere else first."
After that, Zhou Yan turned around.
When Zhou Yan walked out of the door, He Wuming turned to Leslie Cheung again and said, "Let's continue. We did a good job with the slow palm gesture just now, but the eyes are still a little bit..."
Zhou Yan went there specially to play The clothing room, but now the room is relatively empty, there are not many things, and there is not even a human figure.
He came over to find Dong Wenmiao. Ever since Dong Wenmiao helped him speak in Xu Fengche last time, his liking for Dong Wenmiao has greatly increased. This girl can handle it. It’s true that something is wrong. help.
Not finding Dong Wenmiao, Zhou Yan wandered around the outer courtyard, but there were no people elsewhere. He walked around and returned to the place where Leslie Cheung and the others were practicing. He dragged a bench and sat next to it to watch. .
He has been studying Peking Opera-related things recently, so it wouldn’t hurt to take a look at He Wuming’s teaching.
However, what He Wuming was teaching now were only the most basic steps and hand movements, which seemed rather boring.
He looked boring, but Leslie Cheung was even more boring to learn.
An action has to be repeated many times when He Wuming teaches it, and even more times when Leslie Cheung learns it. He Wuming’s teaching method is very traditional, with the teacher teaching it over and over again and the students teaching it over and over again. Practice it once and find problems during the practice.
In fact, there are no tricks in this traditional drama learning.
It is said that the master leads the door, and cultivation depends on the individual. This is true at all. No matter how good the teacher is, the key still depends on the student's understanding.
Leslie Cheung was obviously very savvy. Although He Wuming acted very seriously and had no smile on his face, based on Zhou Yan's understanding of this guy, he must be satisfied with Leslie Cheung as a student.
However, Leslie Cheung didn’t know He Wuming very well. He saw that Teacher He had a straight face all the time and thought that he was not doing well, which made him a little frustrated.
Although Leslie Cheung has acted in many movies and TV series, and there are many popular works, such as "A Better Tomorrow", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Rouge", "Days of Wild" and so on Several of them can be said to be classics.
But in terms of performance, he is still not as confident as singing.
Leslie Cheung is a bit paranoid. In order to truly become a professional actor, he has stopped singing, and he often emphasizes this matter to others.
"I'm a professional actor now and I don't sing anymore."
When receiving the script of "Farewell My Concubine", Leslie Cheung knew it would be a challenge. The script was originally about abnormal love, and the protagonist had to learn how to do it. Peking Opera, but he still took it resolutely.
For this play, he came here six months in advance to study Peking Opera. Although Chen Kaige prepared two stuntmen for him, he was determined to make sure that these two stuntmen were not used.
Before learning opera, he was full of ambitions, but the past few days of studying have somewhat sapped his spirits. Learning this stuff is really tiring and boring.
Half an hour later, when it was time to take a break, He Wuming went to the toilet. Zhou Yan walked over and gave Leslie Cheung a cigarette: "Teacher Zhang, take a rest for a while."
"Thank you."
Leslie Cheung smiled and took the cigarette, took a comfortable puff, and then looked at Zhou Yan, "Director Zhou, don't you smoke?"
Zhou Yan waved his hand and smiled. He said, "I don't smoke." "Then you don't mind if I smoke?"
Zhou Yan shrugged, "I don't mind, otherwise I wouldn't be carrying a cigarette."
"That's good." Leslie Cheung took another sip and asked Zhou Yan, "Did anything happen to Director Zhou when he came over this morning?"
"Nothing." Zhou Yan smiled, "I just heard about the crew these two days. Someone is here, stop by and have a look. Do you usually practice here? "
"No, I have been with Teacher He and his troupe in the past few days. If Teacher He has time these two days, just Take me here to see, after all, I will be filming here in the future, so I can familiarize myself with the environment in advance."
After that, Leslie Cheung sighed again, "Learning Peking Opera is much more difficult than I thought, maybe it's me. "I overestimated my learning ability."
Seeing that he was a little frustrated, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Teacher Zhang, you are too self-effacing. Your performance is already very good. I think Teacher He is right." You are satisfied too.”
"Teacher He is very satisfied with me?" Leslie Cheung looked unconvinced, "Teacher He's expression doesn't look like he is satisfied with me."
Zhou Yan waved his hand, "That's because you don't understand Teacher He. , I used to be roommates with him, and I know him quite well. In fact, if he was really dissatisfied with you, he wouldn't have been able to teach you for so many days."
"Well, yes, the first day and a half. , I was taught by others." Leslie Cheung nodded.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Isn't that right? If he is not satisfied with you, he will just throw you to someone else. Just relax and study hard. Teacher He is very good."
He is not bragging. He Wuming’s level is indeed high. When the two rehearsed together before, he felt it very deeply. Zhou Yan even believed that He Wuming would be able to play the role of Cheng Dieyi if He Wuming played it. , after all, He Wuming has obvious advantages in professional skills.
After hearing Zhou Yan's words, Leslie Cheung was relieved.
Although even if Zhou Yan hadn't said these words, he would not have given up. He would definitely adjust his mentality, but just because of these few words, he could adjust his mentality faster.
Before he finished smoking a cigarette, Leslie Cheung put it out and then started practicing the movements that He Wuming taught him just now.
Seeing Leslie Cheung practicing so hard, Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh, today's actors are really good.
Zhou Yan has not come into contact with many actors, but from "Raise the Red Lantern" to the current "Farewell My Concubine", every one of them is amazing.
When filming "Raise the Red Lantern", Kong Ling, who plays Yan'er, went out of her way to talk to a lot of women who were similar to Yan'er in order to play the role well. In the play, she made a spitting gesture. She has to design three for director Zhang Yimou to choose from.
Supporting actors can do this, and the protagonists are even more incredible. When filming nowadays, no actor can act right away. They will definitely prepare for a long time in advance.
When He Wuming came back, he saw that Leslie Cheung was already practicing on his own, and there was a trace of certainty in his eyes.
Since the students worked so hard and didn’t need any rest time, he, the teacher, couldn’t hold him back, so he walked over and said, “The steps here must also be coordinated.”
Zhou Yan watched from the side. After a while, he stood up and left.
When he walked to the door, he found that several of his younger brothers and sisters were already chatting, laughing and mingling with Qu Yang and the others.
It must be said that the nine brothers and sisters of the Zhou family, except Zhou Yan, are all very good at getting along with others, regardless of their age.
Take Zhou Qing for example, this girl is very cute, with a round face and a pair of big clear eyes. This girl often uses her cuteness to make innocent expressions, and she doesn’t even want it. Whatever you say will make everyone like you.
Even their middle child, the stupid-faced Zhou Hong, can use his special methods to maintain good relations with others.
……
In the next two days, Zhou Yan took them to the mall, bought some things, and checked into some well-known restaurants in Yanjing, but he no longer had the energy to take them out to play.
And he has not finished writing the script of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", and he doesn't have much time to spend with them.
But they were also very considerate of Zhou Yan and didn't bother to go out at all.
This is the time when the benefits of the Zhou family's strong rules come into play. In the Zhou family, the younger ones must obey the older ones. If the younger ones disobey, the older ones can be beaten directly. The elders will not protect the younger ones at all.
Although they have never been beaten by Zhou Yan, as long as Zhou Yan seriously explains something to them, they will never dare to violate it.
In the next few days, Zhou Yan was revising the script in the dormitory. Each of them held a book and read it silently by themselves. When they got bored, the older one took the younger ones out for a walk, but they never left Yangyin campus.
After five days like this, on the afternoon of the fifth day, Zhou Yan's pager rang.
He picked up the pager and looked at it. There was a series of numbers and a line of Chinese on it.
[It’s convenient to call Xu Feng back]
Zhou Yan was a little surprised when he saw that it was Xu Feng calling him. He didn’t know why Xu Feng was looking for him. Normally, Chen Kaige and the others would definitely contact the crew if something happened. How could any investor come forward directly?
Moreover, it only sent a phone number for Zhou Yan to contact him, and it didn't say where he was going.
"You guys read in the dormitory while I go out."
Zhou Yan told his brothers and sisters, and then ran out to find the phone.
