Old Binhai Airport, Dongli District, Tianjing City.
China's first civil flight is known as the cradle of China's civil aviation.
This one of the largest airports in the country has just been expanded this year, and the old terminal building has withdrawn from the stage of history.
The crew of "Chinese Partners" is here today to film the scene where Su Mei, Lucy, Meng Xiaojun, and Liang Qin go abroad.
This terminal has become history and will not affect the operation of the airport. It was built in 1939 and has a long history, which is suitable for the background of the time.
"Hurry up, wipe the surrounding walls and glass clean, polish the glass, use hot water to get washing powder..."
This terminal has not been used for a long time, and the cleaning is not that diligent. The surrounding areas and the ground are too dirty.
Moreover, there was a layer of hazy gray on the glass, which made it difficult for people on the opposite side to see clearly during filming.
These things have their own executive directors who direct people to do them, and the group actors also have assistant directors who tell the scenes and arrange the moves.
Tang An, on the other hand, led the three male protagonists to tell the story.
"Deng Chao, they are going to cry later. Don't cry until you turn around and follow Wan Qian inside."
"You just put a hand on Wan Qian's shoulder, like you are hugging a good friend, and take two steps to take off your glasses. At this time, tears flow out, and you want to look back, but you are
Got it under control..."
"Wan Qian, you don't have any lines. When you watch Deng Chao cry, your face is a little sad, confused, and it also makes you think."
"Wang Xiaoming, Lu Yi, you two..."
"Do you have any questions? If not, get ready and we'll start shooting in 10 minutes."
Tang An sat down on a chair and took a sip of hot tea. It was still a little cold in the northern winter.
"Director Tang, why do you need to have thinking eyes?" Wan Qian asked puzzledly.
Tang An put down his cup, looked at them, and motioned to Wang Xiaoming.
Wang Xiaoming immediately said, "Meng Xiaojun is an elite young man. He is confident, arrogant, and arrogant. He has a very strong character. He never shows his weak side in front of others and has never cried in front of others. Liangqin is his wife.
I have never seen him cry, so I think about the depth of our friendship with him..."
"It's almost the same as ten. I guess I got the idea. Do you understand now?"
"I understand Director Tang." Wan Qian suddenly said.
"You understand, why don't you prepare?"
Ten minutes later, everything was ready and shooting began.
"Every department is ready, the actors are in place!"
"Scene 21, one shot, one shot!"
"start!"
Three top students from YSU wearing glasses said goodbye at the airport.
There are obvious differences in the movements and demeanor of the three people on the monitor. Wang Xiaoming and Deng Chao looked at each other. Wang Xiaoming was a little at a loss, and Deng Chao had his head slightly raised throughout.
Lu Yi stood to the side, his head tilted toward Wang Xiaoming, and did not speak.
"I'm not coming back!"
Deng Chao's voice was not loud, but he was very determined. At this time, Lu Yi turned his head and moved his mouth.
"Meng Xiaojun, you are awesome, you are awesome, don't come back, never come back."
Lu Yi pushed Deng Chao three times, and his voice choked up when he said the last part.
Wang Xiaoming hugged Lu Yi and walked to Deng Chao with a cry in his arms, and hugged him with his other hand.
The next shot turned to the inside. The three of them looked at each other through the glass. Deng Chao pulled the corner of his mouth and made a pulling motion with his fingers on both sides of his face, showing a forced smile.
"Click!"
"Do it again!"
The difference between Lu Yi and Wang Xiaoming can be clearly seen from the crying sounds of the two people.
Wang Xiaoming's facial muscles moved significantly larger, and his eyes and mouth were too much when he cried.
Too deliberate.
In comparison, Lu Yi is slightly better.
It took four takes to shoot this scene before Wang Xiaoming finally found the feeling. It wasn't until the ninth time that he successfully completed it.
Then in the next scene, Wang Yang and Meng Xiaojun bid farewell to Lucy and Su Mei.
"Scene 29, one shot, one shot!"
"start!"
Still at this airport, still through the glass, Wang Xiaoming looked at Du Juan nervously outside.
Perhaps feeling something in his heart, Du Juan turned back when he walked around the corner.
The two looked at each other.
"Into holly."
Du Juan's clear voice shouted out his fame.
Wang Xiaoming looked at him nervously and expectantly, leaned in front of the glass and put his ears to it.
"I told the visa officer, when I follow my study, I will return to my country."
When I finish my studies, I will return to my country.
Completely opposite to Meng Xiaojun, the one who said he would never come back came back, and the one who said he would come back never came back.
In the movie, the words "return to my country" will be silenced to leave some room for the audience's imagination.
"Hey, Wang Xiaoming, when you wait for Du Juan to say the second half of the sentence, the eagerness and anticipation on your face should be a little deeper, and you should press your whole face against the glass."
Tang An shouted with a loudspeaker.
Then I took a close-up shot of Wang Xiaoming.
The filming continued in the afternoon. Meng Xiaojun returned to China. Compared with when he left in high spirits, he is now a little downcast, and his head that was held high has also lowered.
And Wang Yang and Cheng Dongqing have now become successful people and social elites, as energetic and confident as he was back then.
Paired with the song "The Outside World" by Qi Tan, this scene is even more touching.
a long time ago
you leave me
Go fly in the sky
The outside world is wonderful
The outside world is helpless
When you think the outside world is wonderful
I will sincerely wish you here
...
"Click!"
Drama movies are easy to shoot, but it can take a whole day to shoot just one scene.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, this scene had been shot 16 times.
It was just a scene about an ordinary old friend returning to China, which was filmed 16 times.
Whether this type of movie goes smoothly or not depends entirely on the actors' performances. If the performances are in place, it will go smoothly.
If the actors don't perform well, it will be in trouble.
"Deng is coming towards you."
I read the dozen or so articles just now twice carefully without blinking, and my eyes felt a little sore.
He rubbed his eyes and beckoned Deng Chao over.
"Director Tang."
Deng Chao, who had been thinking about how to perform, trotted over quickly, his face full of apologies.
"Stop apologizing and treat everyone to a midnight snack tonight."
Tang An waved his hand to stop what he wanted to say.
"Sit over here."
Someone brought another chair over and placed it in front of the monitor. Tang An moved half of the chair to him.
Deng Chao quickly waved his hand and said, "Director Tang, I can just stand."
"Sit down and rest if you can."
Tang An pulled up the previous movie and started playing it.
"I know that your performances in the morning and afternoon are in two completely different states, but you have to learn to switch back and forth between different states."
Deng Chao nodded, it was mainly for this reason, but he couldn't let the crew make a special trip tomorrow just for this scene.
Tang An began to explain the play to him carefully.
"You come back as a loser, a loser in your own eyes. As you walk down the hall, away from home and closer to your friends, you will think in your heart and think about how to face them, truthfully.
It’s better to accuse someone of being fat and pretend to be fat..."
"Then you left the airport and went outside. In just a few years, the country has changed rapidly. This is something you didn't expect. Looking at the modern buildings outside and the fashionable Beijing people, you are not used to it and are a little confused. This is not you.
The impression of Beijing."
"The United States is better than China. This is the deep-rooted thought in your mind. When you see the high-rise buildings around you, they are not much worse than what you see in the United States..."
"When you see the two of them carrying a mobile phone and driving a brand-new Audi car, your confusion and self-doubt deepen a little more."
"From the moment you leave the airport lobby, the four or five micro-expression changes must be well-made..."
Tang An took the trouble to explain every detail. In less than 15 seconds, he talked for more than 40 minutes.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, on item 20, Tang An's request was finally met.
Then came the night scene, an indoor scene, and the shooting started after dinner.
It was the scene between Meng Xiaojun and Liangqin in a rental house in New York.
A temporary worker in a restaurant who is not eligible for consumption is not even considered a waiter. He only works for the waiter.
He lied about being a teaching assistant at the university.
One guy works in a laundry and is almost useless, but he claims to be teaching piano.
Meng Xiaojun wrote in a letter to Wang Yang that he was living a good life. The old-fashioned black and white TV opposite the bed was playing the classic movie "A Better Tomorrow." Brother Hao found Xiao Ma, and the former Xiao Ma became a down-and-out uncle.
Eating a box lunch that was hard to swallow.
Brother Hao said this to Xiao Ma in it.
"But that's not what you said in your letter!"
There are many such plots in movies, like in Columbia University. After Meng Xiaojun got off work, the narrator read out the letter he sent to Cheng Dongqing, saying that the position of teaching assistant requires high professional requirements.
After learning that his position had been replaced by a master of biology, he excitedly asked, "Does a job like dissecting a mouse require a master's degree?"
It's irony but also reality.
After finishing work in the evening, Tang An did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he called various producers, team leaders of each team and producer Zhao Jun to explain some things.
Tomorrow he has to rush to Shenzhen. The Shenzhen Stock Exchange's Growth Enterprise Market passed the "Interim Regulations on the Suitability Management of Investors in the Growth Enterprise Market" two months ago.
One month ago, the China Securities Regulatory Commission held the first GEM issuance review meeting. Tomorrow, the GEM launch ceremony will be held. All the first 28 companies listed on the GEM will participate and be officially listed.
As a senior executive of Huayi and one of the shareholders, Tang An naturally wanted to participate.
The first listed film and television company in China!
Huayi is finally listed on the GEM, although it is only a secondary market.
This means that the domestic film industry has officially begun to rise, just like Meng Xiaojun said in the movie.
The moment we stand on the New York Stock Exchange and swing the hammer, Wall Street investors will see them, and people around the world will see them.
From now on, they are no longer teachers, but representatives of the world's largest education industry stocks.
How similar, there is no listed company in this industry.
Only when it is listed can more people see it. Not every company is Huawei.
