"Extraordinary! Extraordinary! The Japanese invaded Northeast China!"
Wang Yu moved the camera out of the window, deliberately retaining half of He Xin's body. On the street outside the window, newsboys waved newspapers in their hands, and the agile crowds shuttled among the hawkers.
The people on the street were walking in a hurry, no one stopped when they heard the sound, and the half of the body in the camera did not move at all.
The camera slowly moves up, close-up, close-up.
He Xin was still leaning on the window sill, raising his hand to take a puff of cigarette, exhaling a burst of thick smoke, and the smoke spread in the air. His eyes were always focused on one point.
Suddenly he turned his head, faced the camera, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and after holding on for seven or eight minutes, he finally couldn't continue acting.
"Stab it!"
At the same time, the intercom in the executive director's hand rang with a burst of electricity, followed by Lou Ye's slightly excited voice: "Very good! Very good..."
Only this time his voice paused for a moment, and after a "rustling" sound, he said: "Xiao He, can you do it again?"
His words seemed to make everyone present breathe a sigh of relief, and everyone's eyes seemed to be saying: "Well, it's normal to do it again."
The executive director turned his eyes and saw that He Xin had taken off his woolen suit, put it on the back of the chair again, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and was already ready for another one.
The executive director didn't even need to ask. He took the walkie-talkie and said directly: "Okay, director, no problem."
"Well, let's get started."
At this time, Lou Ye, who was hiding in the pavilion at the corner of the stairs, put down the walkie-talkie in his hand, took off the black peaked cap on his head, scratched his scalp, and his face was full of relief.
Just now, he watched from the surveillance camera as He Xin showed off his agility and talent in front of the camera. At that moment, he was really shocked. Only then did he feel for the first time that he was right in choosing He Xin.
, the other party is indeed a genius, the performance is perfect, just what I want.
When he focused his eyes on the monitor screen again, He Xin's performance in front of the camera began. He couldn't wait to see if the other party would surprise him again.
…
The structure of "Purple Butterfly" is very similar to "Suzhou River" in a sense. It is almost a two-line structure, with the heroine playing two roles.
Zhou Xun plays Meimei and Peony in "Suzhou River", and Zhang Ziyi plays Xin Xia and Ding Hui in "Purple Butterfly". The only difference is probably that Xin Xia is actually Ding Hui, while Meimei is not Peony.
Probably because of the success of Zhou Xun's performance in "Suzhou River", Lou Ye was obsessed with letting Zhou Xun play the heroine of this drama from the beginning. Unfortunately, no matter how talented and stubborn the director is, he has to invest in capital
Lower your head in front of you.
Of course, it cannot be said that inviting Zhang Ziyi to star was a wrong decision. At least through the preliminary shooting in the suburbs of Shenyang, Lou Ye's resentment has dissipated a lot.
Compared with the simple love in "Suzhou River", the pattern of "Purple Butterfly" is much larger. It has risen to a large historical background, with the entanglement between the country, the organization and the individual. When the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed,
Under the historical background, individuals make their own choices for the country, their beliefs in the organization, and their love choices.
It’s no wonder that the French were so attracted to this movie. In addition to Lou Ye’s personal influence in Europe, it was largely because the French particularly liked this tone.
Their country also has a humiliating history of being occupied by the Germans during World War II, and the script of "Purple Butterfly" resonates with them. The film "Purple Butterfly" won the Palme d'Or at the just-concluded 55th Cannes International Film Festival.
"The Pianist" is a movie with similar themes.
"Hello, Teacher Feng!"
As soon as He Xing finished the show, he saw Feng Yuanzheng appearing in the crew, and he quickly ran over to say hello.
"Xiao He, long time no see! I didn't expect that I would become the best actor in a blink of an eye." Feng Yuanzheng smiled and shook hands with him.
Feng Yuanzheng is a senior actor at Renyi, and he got to know Cheng Hao when he was still working at Renyi.
Compared to the ferocious An Jiahe in "Don't Talk to Strangers", Feng Yuanzheng is relatively amiable in real life. He always speaks softly and treats others without any airs.
Teacher Feng Yuanzheng is a hit this time. He was not well known to the audience before. He was more active on the drama stage. For example, the drama with the longest history and the most important weight in human art, "Teahouse" by Mr. Lao She, was released in 1999
When the new version was scheduled for release last year, he played the third role in it - Mr. Song.
You must know that in Renyi, the actors who can perform in the drama "Teahouse" are definitely the best in the industry. The acting skills of teacher Feng Yuanzheng are evident.
However, Teacher Feng Yuanzheng also paid a heavy price for his popularity this time. Some time ago, He Xin saw an interview with him in the newspaper, saying that it was because his role as An Jiahe was so hateful. Not only were bicycle tires often used
Zha, even once went to buy groceries, and was slapped in the face by an audience member who was too involved in the drama, and he was warned not to hit his wife again in the future.
It really made him dumbfounded! Of course, speaking of the scene, he naturally regarded this accident as the greatest compliment for his performance.
He Xin now often recalls the film and television dramas he watched in his previous life. Among the many actors in China, there are only a handful of actors who can play positive roles, villains, and most importantly, comedies. Probably except for Chen
Besides Daoming, Wang Zhiwen, and Ge You, there is only Feng Yuanzheng.
For example, Jianguo in "If You Are the One" and the stupid thief B who partners with Fan Wei in "A World Without Thieves" are both very impressive.
"Is Xiao Cheng okay now?" Feng Yuanzheng then asked Cheng Hao with a smile.
"It's good. I just came over to visit Ban two days ago. She is also filming here now, in the Shengqiang Film and Television City here." He Xin said with a smile.
Just seeing Feng Yuanzheng's unfamiliar expression when he heard the name Shengqiang Film and Television City, he hurriedly added: "Shengqiang Film and Television City is just to the west. It only takes half an hour to drive there."
But when he saw Feng Yuanzheng standing here alone, he asked again: "Teacher Feng, have you met the director?"
Feng Yuanzheng shook his head with a wry smile, pointed to the small director's private room where the monitor was placed, and said, "No, I heard that the director is working inside, so I shouldn't disturb him rashly."
Seeing his wry smile, He Xin also nodded with deep understanding.
He Xin once heard that many directors have quirks, especially excellent directors.
It's just that the directors he has met, whether it is Wang Xiaoshuai, Guan Jinpeng, or Dai Sijie from France, although their directing styles are different, they are generally quite normal.
The only one who can be said to be a bit out of the ordinary is Uncle Gao Qun, who was born in Yeluzi.
But this was the first time I met Lou Ye like this. When we first met him, he didn't like to talk, so forget it. But when he actually arrived on the set, he didn't interact with the actors or talk to them about the scenes. It really opened his eyes, and even more
Not to mention that there was no way to go to his place to watch the playback on the monitor.
It is often a normal thing to shoot for more than ten hours a day without even seeing the director in person. He just hides in the small house and won't come out. There is nothing you can do.
For example, yesterday, He Xin was walked around the streets of the film and television city for a whole day without a single line. It was still a one-man show. The director asked him to move through the crowd at a fast or slow pace, but how he acted was up to him.
So he kept acting, sometimes trotting along as if in a hurry; sometimes strolling with nothing to do, buying a newspaper from the newsboy; otherwise, he was thinking as he walked; or he hesitated and was confused.
But what puzzled him was that this scene didn't exist in the script at all. He couldn't figure out why the director asked him to act like this? Moreover, the person giving the orders on the walkie-talkie was not him, but the director's assistant Xu Lele.
After being walked around for a long time, He Xin finally couldn't help it, grabbed the walkie-talkie from the executive director's hand and shouted inside: "Director, there is a question that I can't figure out. We need to meet and talk."
Then, Lou Ye's voice quickly appeared on the intercom: "Xiao He, tell me."
Still through the walkie-talkie, he could picture Lou Ye's dull and silent face at that time. He was speechless for a moment. He paused for a while while holding the walkie-talkie before saying dejectedly: "Oh, it's okay."
As a result, Lou Ye actually made a phone call on the walkie-talkie and replied: "Goodbye!"
What he felt at that time was probably the same as when Mr. Feng Yuanzheng was slapped in the market and warned not to hit his wife in the future. He really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Then he was walked again and again.
But compared with Li Bingbing, his experience was still the worst.
It is said that Li Bingbing's first scene was locked in a room that was decorated as a telephone switchboard, and he was filmed for two whole days with a group of young female extras.
He kept plugging in and out of the old-fashioned telephone line connector on the machine, and his only line was: "Hello, where can I get you?"
At most, they are adding drama to themselves, deliberately pretending not to hear clearly, and saying something like "Hey, please speak louder" into the microphone, or "Your line is connected, wait a moment!" or other lines.
To put it bluntly, this is just a shot, and it may only appear in the final film for a few seconds. As for the shooting, it took two days! Li Bingbing was also puzzled.
At this time, Li Bingbing changed her clothes and came out. In the scene just now, she was wearing a soft white shirt. She was soaked by the pouring rain created by the fire hydrant, and the white shirt was almost transparent.
, still clinging tightly to her body. He Xin, who was playing her opponent, glanced at it accidentally, and the airport was unbearable to look at.
But at this time, she had already put on a short-sleeved plaid cheongsam that was needed for the next scene, and her chest must have been padded with a lot of sponge, and now she looked a little bulging.
When she saw Feng Yuanzheng standing with He Xin, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she ran over in three steps and two steps at a time, shouting in surprise: "Brother!"
"Hey!" Feng Yuanzheng agreed readily, with a smile on his face.
"Hey, are you relatives?" He Xin on the side couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"We are not relatives, my brother and I are brothers and sisters." Li Bingbing said with a proud look on his face.
"That's right, Bingbing is still the biological sister who took over my class!" Feng Yuanzheng also said cheerfully.
Then he explained to He Xin: "I made a movie with Bingbing back then. I played a policeman who died heroically, and Bingbing played my sister. After I died, she took over my job and became a police officer.
A glorious people's policeman."
As he said that, Feng Yuanzheng looked at Li Bingbing and said with emotion: "It's been almost seven or eight years, and Bingbing hasn't changed at all."
"It has been almost nine years. I remember that I was just a freshman. Time flies so fast!" Li Bingbing also said with emotion.
"oops!"
At this time, He Xin said with a surprised look: "Sister Bingbing, were you born in 1973, 1976, or 1979? If calculated according to 1979, wouldn't you have gone to college at the age of fourteen?
, it actually hasn’t changed at all until now, it’s really amazing!”
"Congratulations!!!"
Li Bingbing, who had been looking happy just now, instantly transformed into a stricken cat, glaring at him angrily.
