Chapter 303 No comparison, no harm

"I wish "Metro to Spring" a good start!"

In front of Studio No. 4 of the Beijing Film Studio, a red velvet cloth-covered altar table was placed, with a portrait of Mr. Guan on it, as well as fruit plates, snacks and other tributes. The camera next to it was covered with a red cloth.

Everyone took turns to offer incense, and finally Zhang Baibai unveiled the red cloth on the camera.

Li Tang didn't believe this in his whole life, but now it has become a fixed process for the startup ceremony. Out of the need for a sense of ritual, he just followed the crowd.

Society is like this. As long as most people accept something, you have to accept it no matter how much you don't like it. Only in this way can you be accepted by most people instead of being unique and looking out of place.

Originally, today's opening ceremony should be hosted by him, the investor and male lead, but he still gave it to Zhang Bai, which can be regarded as helping him establish his authority as a director.

After the opening ceremony, the staff began to prepare for the shooting. They had already put on makeup and were wrapped in a down jacket. Xu Jinglei was exchanging some shooting ideas with Zhang Baibai. Talented women always have great ideas, and they listen to

She said she also plans to develop into a director.

Li Tang was also discussing some scripts with Liu Fendou, mainly focusing on the part of the second female lead Wang Li. The girl really couldn't help her, so she had to delete some difficult scenes to avoid being ruined by a piece of mouse excrement.

A pot of porridge.

After the chat, as soon as Liu Fendou left, Gao Yuanyuan came up to him, looked at Li Tang and said, "Brother Li, what did you do last night?"

"No, I have something to do during this time and I won't be eating at home, so you don't need to bother me anymore. Oh, you have worked hard these days, thank you!"

"It's okay to be idle, come here and study."

Only then did Li Tang understand what the problem was. Maybe it was also a bad habit of his, that is, he had to change clothes every day when he went out.

Zhang Baibai picked up the loudspeaker: "Okay, everyone, get ready."

The first shot went smoothly. As the first movie shot in his director career, Zhang Baibai was a little more excited. He looked up at the venue and asked: "Mr. Li, are you ready?"

?”

"Finished filming?"

She finally raised her head and looked at Li Tang with her sparkling eyes, as if she wanted to see through his heart. Finally, the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing that fresh and sweet smile and said, "Then I'll wait."

Xu Jinglei took it with a smile, and out of a man's gentlemanly demeanor, Li Tang quickly ordered it for her.

"No need, just shoot." Xu Jinglei said confidently before Li Tang. After speaking, she turned back and showed a smiling face to Li Tang.

The scenery arranged in the studio is the rental house where Jianbin and Xiaohui live together. The layout of the tube building structure looks a bit shabby. In order to highlight the visual effect, the background is mainly red, such as the bathroom walls are painted red and the pillowcases are red.

, red three-seat sofa, three-seat sofa, etc.

Maybe Li Tang's tone just now was indeed a bit harsh. He originally wanted to cut through the mess quickly, but he didn't expect Gao Yuanyuan to do this to him.

It's a pity that she made the wrong calculation today. Jiang Qinqin came. Even if she didn't mention it, Li Tang was still planning to tell her about it.

Gao Yuanyuan asked suspiciously: "Then why didn't you change your clothes?"

…

She was a bit addicted to smoking. Smoking was not allowed in the studio. After taking seven or eight pictures in a row, she must have been exhausted. She said that she was going to get a cigarette. When Li Tang saw this, he quickly took out the Sanwu in his pocket and handed one to her.

Past: "Smoke me."

Li Tang told her his idea, and Xu Jinglei filtered his words in her mind while smoking. Finally, she threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it and crushed it before saying, "Okay, no problem."

"Oh, I was in such a hurry to go out this morning that I didn't bother to change." Li Tang said with a look of sudden realization.

The person on the scene who was directing the lighting and camera placement was the deputy director Mo Zi, while director Zhang Baibai was sitting firmly behind the monitor. It is understandable that Zhang Baibai, who graduated from the Department of Literature of Chinese Theater Arts, was responsible for overall control, as well as specific professional control.

In other aspects, we can only rely on professional assistant directors to assist.

It is precisely with this thought that when faced with Gao Yuanyuan's attack, he is always sticky, afraid to pick and reluctant to refuse. In layman's terms, he has a thief's heart but not a thief's courage.

Just then, Mouse shouted: "Director, it's OK."

This is a monologue scene that has been filmed seven or eight times.

There were already people coming and going at the entrance of the studio, and this scene immediately attracted a lot of gossipy eyes. Fortunately, everyone understood it. While taking a glance and secretly gossiping in their minds, they all looked away, tacitly understanding each other, or looking at each other.

, secretly happy in my heart.

Seeing the two people coming in, Zhang Baibai said: "Do you want to walk through it first?"

Gao Yuanyuan then said with relief: "Say, you were wearing just this outfit yesterday, why are you still wearing it today?"

At least it shows that Li Tang is a clean person. A tall, handsome, rich and talented boy who loves cleanliness will naturally attract the attention of girls.

For sex scenes, you must take off your clothes. Xu Jinglei took off the down jacket she was wrapped in, revealing the small purple suspender underneath. Then in front of more than a dozen people at the scene, she boldly took off her jeans, revealing two reasonably

Fortunately, she is wearing a pair of gray boxer briefs for her slender black legs. They are not the more powerful briefs, but they are still tight and a little sexy.

It's not a particularly intense one, it's just a conversation between two people, but the scene takes place on the bed. There are only lines in the script, but the performance is not just like two people talking face to face. They have to design their respective positions first, such as lying down.

, sitting, or standing, and also need to cooperate with some small movements during the conversation, etc. These all belong to the category of performance creation.

Is this a date?

It depends on how you interpret it. In Gao Yuanyuan's opinion, this may be the case. After all, this is the first time that Li Tang has invited her to dinner.

"Oh, so you smoke this! I'm not picky about food."

Li Tang put on makeup, styled his hair, changed clothes, wrapped himself in his coat, held the script in one hand and a thermos cup in the other and hurried to the studio.

Although Zhang Baibai has filmed several TV series, this time filming is a new field for him, so he specially found several experienced assistant directors.

The trick of cooking is very effective, and she plans to use her cooking skills to further develop the relationship between the two.

"Cut!"

Fortunately, this was the first time we collaborated and it was also the first time we played against each other. Everyone was relatively polite and we quickly reached a consensus.

Gao Yuanyuan did not expect this result. She was stunned on the spot, her big talking eyes fluttered, and her eye sockets slowly turned red.

Xu Jinglei held a cigarette in her mouth and handed over the cigarette case.

Because in his previous life in the United States, he had to change his shirt and tie every day when he went to work. If he didn't change it, it meant that he didn't go home last night. So he also developed this habit. He may not necessarily wear a tie, but his shirt must be worn every day.

Changed. Even after traveling here, he still maintains the habits of his previous life, and because he has so many clothes, he basically changes them every day.

When the two of them entered, lights were still being set up in the studio. When shooting night scenes during the day, the best results can only be achieved when shooting in a studio. There is more room for both lighting arrangement and camera position selection.

Xu Jinglei, who was sitting in front of the camera, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She hugged the down jacket that her assistant put on her tightly, took a sip of hot coffee, and shouted to Zhang Baibai: "Director, can you take a break?"

"Well……"

"Teacher Li is still putting on makeup." An assistant director nicknamed "Mouse" quickly responded.

In fact, in China, especially in winter, it is normal not to change clothes for two or three days or even a week. Maybe it was because Li Tang changed clothes frequently that he attracted Gao Yuanyuan's attention.

Because this is the first time we are working together, even though we have communicated during script reading before, we will definitely encounter all kinds of unimaginable problems during the actual shooting. Therefore, we must communicate and make sure everyone is aware of it.

"Brother Li, are you bothering me? If you are, just say it directly and don't beat around the bush."

Xu Jinglei then added: "Then let me tell you what I think."

After being silent for more than ten seconds, he said: "They all call me Xiaohui... Actually, I am already very content. I have been able to live with Jianbin for seven years..."

"good!"

Finally, after this shot, Zhang Baibai watched the playback carefully again, then stood up and raised his thick and short arms and said: "Okay, passed!"

He slept in the Jianguo Hotel at the front door last night, and of course he was still wearing yesterday's clothes. He didn't expect Gao Yuanyuan to observe him so carefully.

Her role was arranged relatively late, and she didn't have to attend today's opening ceremony. Just like Lao Fan, Ke Lan, and Wang Li, they didn't come, but she came anyway.

However, Jiang Qinqin's tenderness last night gave him a lot of confidence. Faced with Gao Yuanyuan's excuse, he immediately said without falseness: "Since you are here to study, why are you still standing there? Why don't you go in!"

To be honest, he hated being sticky and unhappy, but he could never harden his heart when facing Gao Yuanyuan. Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan kept her head down and remained silent, he could only sigh secretly and said: "In this way, wait for me for a while

Can I treat you to dinner after you’re done?”

Gao Yuanyuan, who was studying next to her, happened to see this scene and muttered a few words silently with a look of annoyance on her face, as if she was saying "vixen" or something like that.

As soon as I walked to the door of the studio, I saw Xu Jinglei walking out of it wrapped in a down sweater.

Mouse is one of them. Although he is currently only a student in the Department of Photography at Nortel, he previously studied directing in the Art Department of Beijing Normal University, and he shot the graduation film "Thursday" when he graduated from the Art Department of Beijing Normal University.

, Wednesday" won the Best Director Award at last year's Beijing University Student Film Festival.

People in the capital like to smoke Zhongnanhai with a white filter tip. Li Tang couldn't get used to it, so he waved his hand and declined. Because it was a sex scene between two people, he felt it was necessary to communicate.

Li Tang didn't want to get entangled with her on this topic, so as not to reveal his flaws, he changed the subject and said, "Why are you here today?"

"Well, it's finally over. Want one?"

As she said that, she looked at Li Tang with a smile and said, "Don't you always say that my acting skills are not good?"

Zeng Jia had always said before that he wanted to find an assistant for him, but he couldn't find a suitable one for a while. As his status became higher and higher, it always felt a bit strange not to have an assistant by his side. At the same time, he would give more or less help.

This caused trouble for other actors in the same crew who had assistants. Also, when I was playing supporting roles before, I didn’t feel that now that I was playing the leading role and the roles were increasing, it was really inconvenient not to have an assistant around me.

In the studio, a dark night scene was created, with cold light in the background and orange lights coming from the side. Xu Jinglei was wearing a small sling, sitting on a tea-red sofa and facing the camera, with deep eyes and a hint of something on her face.

It's quite miserable, but it's not actually miserable. It's just that her face has a bit of a bitter look when it's serious.
