I have to say that the audience the program team found really have a professional spirit.

I spent a whole morning recording without any complaints.

The program team gave out a bottle of water and a box of lunch at noon, and they were very happy with it.

Really worthy of being a "professional audience".

There was no rest time after dinner, and before 1 o'clock, the program continued recording.

The third group featured three members from Yu Hewei's team: Liu Huan, Zhang Junning, and Song Yi.

"The clip we are going to bring today is Golden Rooster, Best Picture at both Golden and Horse Awards, Palme d'Or at Cannes, the first mainland film to win an Oscar, "Old Father" directed by Cheng Yu'an."

This movie was specially prepared for Cheng Yu'an. The program team wanted to change the movie last year, but they kept saying that they would wait until he arrived at the scene before putting the play on the stage.

If he hadn't read the program schedule in advance, Cheng Yu'an would have been really surprised.

When this film was originally licensed to the Shanghai Theater Company and People's Art Theater, the stage adaptation ran into great trouble.

How to express the fragmented and psychedelic world from the perspective of a male protagonist suffering from Alzheimer's disease in a limited stage space?

Unfortunately, there are not many characters in the whole play. There are only five or six named people in total. This is a great test for the stage management.

But doing a variety show is not rehearsing a stage play after all. The program team was lazy and cut out three clips from the movie and combined them, and finally ended with Zhang Zhiqiang being sent to a nursing home.

To be precise, "Old Father" is the male protagonist's one-man show. All the highlights of the whole movie are on him, but his daughter Zhang Ailian and the caregiver child also have many roles, and they are equally eye-catching when done well.

The three clips obtained were relatively fair, namely the first meeting of the three, the scene between Zhang Zhiqiang and the child nurse, and the scene between Zhang Zhiqiang and his daughter Zhang Ailian.

Everyone's role is taken care of.

"The actors are in place and the performance begins."

Cheng Yuan watched the 20-minute performance very seriously and gave the actors warm applause and encouragement at the end.

Zhang Ziyi first commented: "There is a little problem with this performance. From the audience's point of view, I think this play is not good to watch. I don't know what is going on. I don't see the characters clearly, and I don't see the characters clearly."

communication, so I can’t make too many judgments.

"This is my intuitive feeling. I'm sorry. I tell you very directly, thank you, I'm sorry."

Xu Shanzheng followed: "I'm lucky enough to have filmed this drama with Director Cheng." Xu Shanzheng plays Zhang Ai'an's boyfriend, "And our theater is also the first batch to get the authorization to adapt the drama, so..." Xu Shanzheng

I'm a little short of words, "So, to be honest, I don't know these three people at this time on the stage. There seems to be no connection between the characters. The three of them are not having a conversation, but each reciting their own words.

Just call it a day after memorizing it. It feels like I haven’t fully understood the relationship between the characters yet. I’m sorry for saying these things.”

Xu Shanzheng said no more words.

The guest comments this time started with the original author Cheng Yu'an. As the director of the original work, he certainly couldn't speak too directly, but he couldn't praise with his eyes closed: "What Shan Zheng and Zi Yi said just now can actually be summed up in one sentence. You didn't describe the characters.

The relationship and the context of the story are clearly understood.

"Zhang Zhiqiang's illness has become very serious. He almost remembers what his daughter looks like. In fact, he can't even remember his most beloved house. Has he moved in with his daughter..."

Cheng Yu'an spoke for five or six minutes, explaining the problems of the three actors one by one, and telling them how to capture characters and stories.

"Thank you. This is my suggestion. The three actors are all very good. Thank you."

As soon as Cheng Yu'an finished speaking, the host suggested: "How about the director come up and re-arrange it for them and let us see how it works?"

"Okay!!" This suggestion was agreed and cheered by everyone.

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "This is not enough time."

"It's okay, let's just arrange a one or two minute clip." Yin Yin said.

"Okay," Cheng Yuan fastened his buttons and stood up to go on stage.

Cheng Yu'an and the three actors entered the scene on the stage again, and Cheng Yu'an carefully arranged this short sequence for them.

"Zhang Zhiqiang, if you think your daughter and her boyfriend are plotting against your house, then you have to show off your old man's cleverness and cunning, as well as your domineering attitude towards your daughter. 'I will not leave this house, I will

"I will live longer than you and your little boyfriend." You have to have a wait-and-see kind of banter. Zhang Ailian has to give a reaction at this time. You have no lines, but your reaction is very important. You played Zhang Ailian before and you can hear it.

She was shocked when she said this. How could she be shocked? She had taken care of her father for so many years. Zhang Ailian would not be surprised by what he said. The emotion here should be aggrieved. She knew that what her father said was Hutu dialect, but she

I still can’t accept what my father said about me...

"Little boy, you too..."

Therefore, Cheng Yuan likes to use mature actors, and it is too tiring to recruit actors.

Everyone in the industry knows that Cheng Yu'an doesn't like to train actors, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how.

Five minutes passed quickly.

"Okay, just act like this, no problem." Cheng Yu'an encouraged the three of them before leaving the stage.

Cheng Yuan shouted: "Start."

The three began to perform.

From Cheng Yu'an's perspective, although the three people's two-minute performance was slightly improved, it was really not as good as Yin Yin praised.

Of course it is to praise him and highlight his guidance effect.

At this point, the reporting performances of the three teams have ended.

Cheng Yu'an's recording task was almost completed. He would not be given footage during the voting and selection sessions later, so Cheng Yu'an wanted to leave.

"Teacher Cheng, don't leave in a hurry. You sit on the chair, make a few expressions, and exchange a few words with the teacher next to you. We'll add a few shots," the director said.

"no problem."

After recording these, Cheng Yu'an withdrew from the scene and recorded some more material and promotion for "The Wandering Earth" backstage, and Cheng Yu'an was finally released.

After Cheng Yuan came out, he immediately headed back home.

He was tired from recording this day's program, so he had to let the nanny, no, he had to let his wife do it herself, stew an old hen to replenish his energy.

But when he called Liu Yifei, he was told: "I am outside. I have several activities in the past few days. I will be back in two days."

】

Cheng Yu'an has long stopped asking about Liu Yifei's announced schedule.

It's the end of the year, and Liu Yifei is naturally busy.

In addition, "The Wandering Earth" is about to be released, and married couple Liu Yifei will also take the initiative to seek exposure and promote the movie.

"Mulan" will be released globally next spring. This winter, Liu Yifei's schedule is very full.

Disney has begun advertising around the world.

On the way home, Cheng Yu'an looked at the time and saw that the kindergarten was about to end, so he called his mother-in-law and said that the program was finished and he would go pick up the children.

After receiving her daughter, Cheng Yu'an held a colorful little schoolbag in one hand and held her daughter's little hand in the other. The father and daughter walked back slowly.

The little girl vividly told her father the fable the teacher told them today.
Chapter completed!
