Two days later, Lu Fei received a call from Wang Xiaoshuai and came to Xiaojinsi Hutong in Yindian Bridge as promised.
In a spacious courtyard, there are gathered the director team, photography team, screenwriter team, art team...
This formation is naturally a script reading meeting.
As the name suggests, it is a training exercise before starting the operation.
Looking around, he, Cui Lin, and Zhao Yiwei, who played his father, were present. There was a flower bone flower standing tall and graceful.
The woman has short ear-length hair and a delicate appearance. At first glance, she looks like a beauty. But when she takes a closer look, she turns out to be Gao Yuanyuan, who has no hair.
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, she is my little girlfriend in the play?
Gao Yuanyuan also noticed him, and their eyes met. The two of them raised their hands inadvertently, and froze in embarrassment. She didn't know whether she should extend her hand first.
"Hello." Lu Fei introduced himself proactively.
"Hello." Gao Yuanyuan blinked and touched lightly with her fingertips.
The screenwriter Tang Danian on the side saw him and said, "Hey, Director Wang, this is the child with spiritual energy you mentioned. He is very courageous, but I don't know if he is afraid of the camera when filming?"
"You won't know until you take the photo."
After Wang Xiaoshuai arranged the shooting plan, "The meeting ended, let's start shooting!"
In the first game, transitional cutscenes are often chosen to get off to a good start, implying smooth progress.
The photography team was already in place, and the machine was set up at the door. The paint on the door panel was peeling off and debris was piled up.
After simply walking through the play twice, Wang Xiaoshuai warned: "Don't be pressured. The other leading actors are like you and have no acting experience. Just follow what you just rehearsed and don't look at the camera."
Lu Fei was not worried at all. The camera was completely turned away from him. There was no need to say any lines in this scene, just a few lines.
"The photography team is in place."
"The recording team is in place."
"3,2,1,action!"
With a snap, the recorder laid down the board, immediately stepped aside, looked at Lu Fei pushing the mountain bike, walked into the camera, entered the door step by step, and suddenly stopped.
How can a car bought with stolen money be seen at home?
He immediately hid the bicycle in an inconspicuous corner, searched left and right, and found two tattered quilts to cover it. Then, as if moving, he added scrap newspapers and cardboard boxes, layer by layer, to cover up his crime.
"Um?"
In front of the monitor, Wang Xiaoshuai squinted his eyes.
The assistant director asked in a low voice: "It's not in the rehearsal. This guy is adding to the scene. Do you want to stop?"
"Don't worry, let this kid play."
Wang Xiaoshuai didn't even think about it, he just wanted to give Lu Jijian a sense of drama.
In the panoramic scene, Lu Fei was walking back and forth, staring intently at the location of the hidden car, making sure he couldn't find it, and stepping back step by step, fearing that he would see any clues outside the door.
That's it?
Putting aside professional actors, Wang Xiaoshuai would not hesitate to say "Ka" and start over again, because the acting was all useless routines and a pure waste of film.
At this moment, Lu Fei's heel hit the threshold, he stumbled, and almost fell down.
Cui Lin, who was watching, opened her mouth due to the sudden comedy, and caught a glimpse of Tang Danian smiling: "This kid is a bit interesting."
He scratched his head and couldn't understand.
I saw Lu Fei wandering outside the door, making sure that there was no blind spot in the 180-degree view and that the hidden car could not be seen. He walked in the door again, took three steps and looked back until his figure disappeared around the corner of the wall.
That's it?
Wang Xiaoshuai shook his head. Although "tripping over the threshold" was amazing, it was not enough for him to keep the camera.
Just when he was about to shout stop, Lu Fei suddenly turned back and was hiding the car. He forgot his schoolbag and his coat was still in the car.
No matter how hard I tried to move it up with my front feet, and how hard I tried to move it down with my back feet, my face was as tired as a bitter gourd, and my face was dripping with sweat.
Lu Fei wiped off the sweat with his arm, looked at the corner affectionately, and showed a relaxed and contented smile. That is the vitality that a young man should have, and it was all captured by the camera.
"Director Wang, this kid is spiritual!" the director of photography praised.
"Click!"
Wang Xiaoshuai did not expect that Lu Fei would give him a surprise when he came up. A transitional scene turned into a childlike mime. He went through the levels of the house design three times, controlled the rhythm just right, and was very good at catching the camera.
"How's it going, Director Wang?"
When Lu Fei was called, he was not worried about being scolded like Yin Tienchou in "The King of Comedy" for stealing the scene. The main character added the scene on the spot, only whether it was suitable or not.
Wang Xiaoshuai said in surprise: "I have practiced at home, how did you think of acting like this?"
Lu Fei's biggest reliance is that as a photographer, he shoots a lot of scenes and watches a lot of movies.
When I think of living life, Li Xuejian from "Hey! Old Man" naturally comes to mind. An old man with Alzheimer's disease, his hands shake when drinking, and the wine glass hurts his teeth. It's funny and sad at the same time.
"Thinking about how I would hide the car if I stole the money to buy it."
Wang Xiaoshuai, Tang Danian and others looked at each other in confusion and gave a thumbs up, "The idea is good, the camera is also very good, the only flaw is that the expression is not natural enough."
So, Lu Fei followed his instructions and made two more steps, making progress visible to the naked eye.
Wang Xiaoshuai nodded with satisfaction: "This one passed!"
………
Cost must be considered when filming.
The shots at the same location are all shot together, and they basically don't follow the script, unless they are like the great poet Chen Kaige. After all, it is not his money that is being burned.
Since it is in Xiaojian's home, Lu Fei's role is naturally the most important.
"Pass!"
"Hey, it's another one, it's been 6 games already, this kid has a lot of energy!"
"Don't jump to conclusions so early. The scene just now is not difficult. We still have to watch the father-son scene."
The crew members were talking a lot, and even made bets on Lu Fei. Cui Lin, Gao Yuanyuan, and Alexander were trembling on the side. It was their first time acting. How could there be such a big gap between people?
Wang Xiaoshuai observed the scene between Lu Fei and Zhao Yiwei and asked in front of the crew: "What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly Lu Fei's voice sounded in their ears: "Director Wang, I have an idea, can I not say my lines?"
"Don't say your lines?"
Tang Danian frowned in displeasure and added drama on the spot. As a screenwriter, he had no control over it, but he had to stand up and make changes to the script.
The famous director cuts lines, he tolerates it because he is the biggest, the producer cuts lines, he tolerates it, because he invested money, why the hell do you, a newcomer, dare to delete my lines?
He said unhappily: "Director Wang, where did you find such a bold kid?"
Lu Fei raised his lips, "Not only am I full of courage, but I am also the best at white horses and silver spears. I can go in and out seven times."
"He is just a child." Wang Xiaoshuai hurriedly comforted him, "A Fei, please give me a reason."
"I think it would be better if Xiaojian doesn't talk."
Lu Fei suggested giving it a try, but Tang Danian was obviously not convinced, so just give it a try!
After driving the horse, Zhao Yiwei looked at the energetic young man, sighed, adjusted his attitude and said the lines: "I know you are unhappy. The good things you originally promised have now been blown away, but I can't help it."
Lu Fei was silent, picked up the screwdriver in his hand, and skillfully repaired the VCD machine.
"It's not easy for my sister to light lamps and boil oil. You can't even tell her that she's admitted to a key middle school."
Zhao Yiwei said: "Hey, you have to pay the tuition. I've discussed it with your mother. It's my sister's biggest problem."
After breaking the appointment again, Lu Fei fell into silence.
Don't make promises to children easily if you can't make them as adults!
He changed to a bigger screwdriver and continued tinkering with an expressionless expression. There were no lines, no outbursts, it was just a boring gourd.
Three years and three years later, he has gotten used to it.
Making a fuss lazily, being so disappointed that there is nothing to say, just like the cold violence between husband and wife, the ultimate anger is silence.
Wang Xiaoshuai's eyes lit up, and Tang Danian's eyes were filled with disbelief: "Director Wang, has he really never studied acting?"
Wang Xiaoshuai found out that he had picked up the treasure and said happily: "He is only a high school student."
Tang Danian felt his scalp numb at the sight. Is he a high school student?
Silent performance is definitely very difficult. Without a sound stage, half of the martial arts is wasted. It relies purely on body, eyes, and expressions to not only make the audience understand, but also to understand the emotions in the play.
He reluctantly said: "Okay, I agree not to have any lines."
Gao Yuanyuan was confused for a moment, why did she agree again?
In her opinion, Lu Fei was just tightening the screws without saying a word. Although she couldn't understand it, she was greatly shocked.
After the father-son drama ended and lunch was served, Cui Lin walked up to Lu Fei, and Gao Yuanyuan was not reserved and came here to learn from her. She looked like a scumbag and a school belle pestering the top student.
She asked: "You, how did you do it?"
"It's easy to say, just act yourself."
Lu Fei didn't hide anything, he just shook it all off.
The newcomer has a lot of acting experience. He laughs as he should and cries as he should. Every move he makes depends on his feeling. Instead of getting close to Xiaojian himself, it would be better for Xiaojian to get closer to him.
Chen Daoming looks like himself no matter who he plays!
The rogue emperor Liu Bang performed in a Kangxi style, as did Qin Shihuang, and so did Nie Mingyu. It is not that thousands of people have different faces, but that thousands of people have one face.
"How should I act when I play myself?"
"You must never act. What you do in life is what you do in filming."
Gao Yuanyuan nodded as if she understood, then saw Lu Fei was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, he opened the foam box, one meat and one vegetable, spicy pepper sausage, scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
She frowned and hesitated to move her chopsticks.
"What's wrong, no appetite?" He opened his chopsticks and scraped each other with the two sticks.
"I don't like eating fat sausage, I don't even want to smell it."
Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan was picky about food, Lu Fei thought for a while, put all his fat intestines on the rice, and said generously: "Let's trade, I'll scramble eggs with tomatoes, and I'll trade them with you."
"Thank you, Lu Fei."
Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips and watched Lu Fei grilling the sausage rice. His mouth was full, and Xiafei's cheeks suddenly filled up.
Cui Lin opened her mouth, sandwiched between the two of them, looking superfluous.
Not far away, Tang Danian couldn't help but sigh, Damn, not only are you brave, but you are also so bold that you dare to openly pick up girls, even in front of them!
