Although Xia Yu has analyzed and interpreted these characters before, and more or less wrote biographies of them; but after all, she only has so much energy, and most of it is devoted to the role of "Bai Xiaofei". She will inevitably focus on other characters.
will be ignored...
This two-day review of the script was almost an enlightening help in developing the world of her script.
On the first day of script reading, the world structure of the script "Cure" was improved and the degree of compatibility was increased by 7%.
The next day, during the improvement process, the second stage, the experience stage, was started directly——
This time, in addition to "deeply digging" into the characters of other characters, Bai Xiaofei's living environment was completely improved - for example, she lived in the basement at first, and later moved to the basement where Chen Zimo lived in a single room.
This was also perfected during the reading period and after Xia Yu's on-the-spot investigation.
Director Song Da said that he asked all the creative staff to move to the hotel rented by the crew after the audition.
But in fact, on the first day after the round-up, Song Ang asked his work assistant to send the rented hotel location and personal room number to each creative staff, and marked: everyone will meet at this hotel the next day, and the location for round-up
I also switched to this hotel.
The meaning is very clear, "Don't wait for the reading round to be over, move in quickly!"
Song Ang is wealthy, but not too outrageous. He booked the entire five-star hotel for a few months and rented two floors in total. The first floor is the business standard double room floor for the staff, and the first floor is for the director.
The suites on the executive floor where screenwriters, actors and other creative staff live.
Everyone is "understanding people". Anyway, it's not a few days away. All the money has been paid, and basically everyone moved into the hotel the next day——
The only exception is probably Teacher Zhao Jinhong, who wrote everything in black and white when signing the contract.
No matter how the filming goes, I have to go back and rest for two days on the weekend.
There is no way, compared with working, at this age, people care more about spending more time with their precious granddaughter;
Of course Xia Yu and Meng Dong also moved in.
And the first day of reading is over.
In addition to reporting Xia Yu's itinerary for the past few months, Meng Dong also reported the "actress's bizarre requests".
For example: Xia Yu wants to bring her pet to live on the set;
For this reason, Meng Dongdu helped Xia Yu think of words, "Without this cat, Xia Yu can't sleep well!"
Unexpectedly, the work assistant, also known as the "stage manager", called the hotel manager to make arrangements without saying a word.
Generally, pets are not allowed in hotels.
It was also after negotiation that Xia Yu brought a series of Yuanbao's "health certificates" and successfully checked in the next day.
Meng Dong naturally followed, and Xue Tong was directly transferred to Tao Tang to work as Tao Tang's driver.
…
[The second phase of the "Cure" script world course ends, b·Excellent]
A familiar voice came to her ears, and Xia Yuyouyou opened her eyes——
It's six o'clock in the morning, Imperial City time.
I stood up and opened the curtains, glanced at the slightly foggy Imperial Capital, numbly went to the bathroom to change out of the few towels I had, washed my face with cold water, and woke up a little, then I washed up.
When it comes to washing up, it means washing your face with cold water and wiping it clean with a towel——
In order to get closer to Bai Xiaofei's state, Xia Yu has been managing skin laxity for more than half a month.
Not to mention facial cleanser, the usual six or seven-piece set now only contains one bottle of Dabao.
Even my hair was washed three days ago and has not been carefully maintained for more than half a month.
If the "Republic of China Photo Album" hadn't been filmed in early September, the "ruin" plan might have been implemented long ago.
And every time he watched Xia Yu give up "tossing", and watched the originally delicate skin become roughened little by little, and the black and smooth hair became rough, Meng Dong's heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife and was bleeding.
!
However, compared to the huge sacrifices Yu Junhao made, Xia Yu simply made her skin less delicate and didn't think it was a big deal. She would just wait until the filming of this movie is completed and then take extra care.
First, he went for a run in the gym upstairs and exercised for forty-five minutes. When he left, Dai Chengbi, who had just gotten up early in the morning to swim, also ended his exercise. He called Meng Dong and asked Meng Dong to get an extra breakfast.
Returned to Xia Yu's suite.
Lao Dai has been panicking for the past two days. Indeed, as he said, he is just a decoration——
Lao Dai originally wanted to complain to Xia Yu, but early in the morning he saw that Xia Yu looked wrong.
It's a bit like the early stage of filming "Drawing Ground", but one is despair and the other is struggle——
However, compared to that time, Xia Yu was much more able to control the "drama". When he returned to the room, he completely restrained himself.
At this moment, Dai Chengbi looked at Xia Yu's back as he entered the room. She was obviously still the same girl two years ago, but suddenly he felt like he was in a trance - it had been two years, and Xia Yu had no idea how far he had gone, but he... seemed to be still there.
In place!
"No wonder Old Man Zhuang kept scolding me last month that I was a rotten tree that cannot be carved... I really am a rotten tree!"
Dai Chengbi never expected that after being stuck for a month, he would be slapped in the face by Xia Yu.
Suddenly he was pulled out of his "sleepwalking state".
'Why is your understanding so poor?'
In the past two months, Mr. Zhuang has been making insinuations. Shouldn't he just remind himself? How could he not understand it at all!?
He couldn't even help but slap himself with a "pop-", which made Meng Dong, who was busy packing his things, stunned.
"Director Dai, what's wrong?" she asked.
Dai Chengbi suddenly laughed, and some shackles all over his body seemed to be broken suddenly and without warning.
"Ah? It's okay. My brain was caught in the door just now. It's fine now!"
"Oh?" Meng Dong seemed to understand, but actually didn't understand at all!
When Xia Yu came out, he found that Lao Dai's irritability was gone.
Xia Yu was also confused. Dai Chengbi, who had been struggling for nearly a month, suddenly adjusted during the time he was changing clothes.
Still surprised, "What? Didn't you just have something to say to me?"
Lao Dai crossed his legs, ate breakfast, looked at the imperial capital outside the window, glanced at her, "I suddenly figured it out."
As for what he had figured out, Lao Dai did not continue to talk, nor did Xia Yu continue to ask, but Xia Yu already understood what Lao Dai said.
Now what does Lao Dai mean when he says "I've figured it out."
"How is the character thinking going?" he asked.
This is the first time that Dai Chengbi has paid attention to Xia Yu in such a long time since he joined the crew in September.
Dai Chengbi used to like to get into trouble with others - Xia Yu knew this to a certain extent.
But this time it was different from the last time he was on the set of "Drawing Ground", which required Dai Chengbi to make a quick decision.
Therefore, she had to call Cheng Zhiqing at that time and chose to cut the knot quickly for Lao Dai.
But this time, Xia Yu felt that he had enough time. Maybe he thought about it after being patted and pressed by Song Ang.
But he didn't expect that he would figure it out just by changing his clothes.
It was quite sudden, and he immediately joked: "Director Dai, you finally remembered me?"
I feel very embarrassed to have to give Lao Dai a plastic surgery.
After all, he is a grown man, and after months of pretentiousness, he is really a bitch.
Seeing Lao Dai's face turned red, his ears almost bleeding, his mouth buzzing and unable to say a word to refute——
Xia Yu was not willing to embarrass him. How could she be willing to do so? There was only such a big Buddha (living treasure) in her studio!
"Now that I have figured it out, I will seize this opportunity and steal a lesson from Director Song - he does have many excellent things that we can learn from. This is not what I am telling you as Xia Yu, but as your boss.
Your advice!"
"After we finish filming this one, our studio's first film will enter the preparation stage!"
Even when Xia Yu was serious, he was quite capable of bluffing people. Dai Chengbi was stunned for a moment when he said this.
In the end, all he had to do was stand up, salute Xia Yu, and say, "yes, madam——".
Lao Dai got out of the corner, and it was rare for him to chat with Xia Yu about the script.
Regarding "Cure", Dai Chengbi also has his own way of understanding. Unlike Song Ang's rough way of confusing everyone's understanding and recasting it, he is more willing to "dig deep" in the role that the actor understands.
The actor’s sense of resonance with the character——
If you use painting to describe the different teaching methods of two people——
Song Ang, you draw a picture first, and after you finish it, I don’t care whether you like it or not, you tear it up first. I will dig into it with you, and I will give you the core of what I want. Your role is mine.
Movie fusion, you can draw a new picture based on this!
Dai Chengbi is just a painting. I am not afraid that you will make a mistake in the painting. You can be wrong, but you must have your own special understanding of the character. You paint first, and after the painting is finished, we will mend it, but you must
It's "you", it's this character, it's the soul of this painting. This character cannot be completely bound by the "movie". You'd better be able to understand, sublimate and find the core of the character through these mistakes!
This may be the biggest difference between a feature film director and an art film director!
One is that the character makes the movie, the other is the movie makes the character, and the story makes the story——
You can't say which one is higher and which one is lower. Each one has its own reason;
This is why Dai Chengbi's appreciation of Song Ang from the beginning to his disdain now.
Because of the movie "Prisoner", Dai Chengbi saw the sublimation of the "character". Maybe the whole movie was not exciting enough, but the role of Li Xu was brought to life. And in "The Guards of the Ming Dynasty", it is exciting, but
The taste has changed!
Although Lao Dai is still on the set and is still groveling, Xia Yu thinks that it won't be long before he can't hold it in any longer.
When the time comes, the crew will inevitably have a big battle - Xia Yu won't say, she will even "fan the flames" if Song Ang plans to direct this film in the direction of a "commercial film". When the time comes, it depends on Dai Chengbi
Who can handle it better, or Director Song?
Xia Yu would not admit it. This was revenge because he felt a little unhappy after being plotted against by Director Song and Cheng Yun——
Is there any? Not at all, she Xia Yu is not that kind of person - she is just for the good of the movie!
Don’t ask too many questions, it was Sister Tang’s idea to ask, and Sister Tang silently took the blame——
Because the creative team has moved to the hotel, the original reading time has been changed from nine to eight in the morning——
What Song Ang meant was that there was originally a traffic jam in the imperial capital and everyone got up at six or seven o'clock. Staying in a hotel would give everyone more time to rest. So even if you stay in bed until 7:50, how can you get up in ten minutes?
Already?
When the time entered 7:45, Xia Yu and the other three walked slowly towards the conference room.
The conference room is very large and divided into two parts, one is the "Wen" conference room and the other is the "Martial" conference room.
To put it simply, one part is used for reading around, and the other part is used for rough rehearsal of the performance——
When Xia Yu and the others arrived, Yu Junhao and Teacher Ning Lifen had already arrived first.
The two of them had scripts on the table and each brought a water glass. Xia Yu didn't want to pay much attention to it at first. Yu Junhao brought a gift from Camus.
She felt "friendly".
That shouldn't be considered a "real" water cup. It was just an empty glass-reinforced plastic can made from raw food. It also had some ingenious "soaked" medicinal materials in it that Teacher Ning Lifen would need to supplement at her age.
I have long heard that Teacher Ning Lifen is someone who likes to arrive early, and she also expected this situation.
So when it came time to get some small supplements, Xia Yu brought two small portions and placed them in front of the two of them.
Say hello, "Teachers, good morning -"
The one who anticipated this scene earlier than Xia Yu was Mrs. Zhuang. She had prepared a small tonic early in the morning, packed it in a small jar, and installed a small refrigerator. She also left Xue Tong’s phone number so that she could have it every week in the future.
Bring them to the manor!
Xia Yu didn't say anything, but Meng Dong secretly said that he felt a little embarrassed, because not only Xia Yu also got a copy for her, Xia Yu asked her to keep it, and just said, "A person's age
When you are older, you are not afraid of being busy, but you are afraid of being idle——"
What's more, Mrs. Zhuang also said, "This thing is not just for you. My old sister Ning Lifen is also here. You can think of it as running an errand for me and giving this old lady a piece."
of!"
Meng Dong probably thought of his grandmother, and after adjusting his mood, he accepted it.
Teacher Ning Lifen, who plays "Grandma Cao", is also in her sixties. Although she has no connection with Xia Yu, she does have friendship with Zhuang He and his wife. They used to come from the same drama troupe as Mrs. Zhuang.
Seeing the familiar little jar, she smiled kindly and said, "Yong Xia still loves tinkering with these little things!"
She didn't refuse, but couldn't help but miss her, saying: "When we were in the theater, Yong Xia gave us sisters a lot of trouble. Later, she retired and we didn't have to drink anymore. It seems that these few months have changed again.
What a blessing!"
Mrs. Zhuang’s surname is Yang, and her full name is Yang Yongxia. Unlike Teacher Ning Lifen, she quit the industry when she was quite young.
Teacher Ning Lifen especially loves acting and the profession of actor.
That’s why we say this circle is small, and the “Imperial Capital Circle” is even smaller. They are either friends or enemies——
Several people greeted each other and then sat down. As the time approached eight o'clock, one after another the creative team came to the conference room, sat down according to their seats, and greeted each other politely.
Just say hello and go about your own business.
At 7:59, Director Song arrived "on time" with his assistant and deputy director.
