It was only a one-week guest appearance. Although He Xin had done some homework in advance, it was impossible for him to devote himself to the character as he did before when filming, writing a biography of the character, and immersing himself in the character's emotions.
Gu Changwei told him that to play the role of a paratrooper officer, all he had to do was grasp a "smile".
He Xin's understanding is that the smile of a paratrooper officer in the early stage should be sunny, confident, and wise, while the smile when he meets his sister again a few years later should be a bitter smile, a confused smile after being tempered by life.
The town started to come alive early in the morning. A curved intersection was filled with all kinds of old-fashioned bicycles and various stalls selling vegetables and groceries on the roadside.
The small town residents who acted as extras all put on the costumes of that era. Perhaps because of the characteristics of the era and the overall tone of the film, which is gray, the colors of the costumes are very monotonous, mostly gray, white, blue and black, and there is nothing eye-catching.
Bright colors.
He Xin wore a messy and greasy hair cover specially made by a makeup artist, a gray long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up randomly, and a pair of blue Air Force pants.
These trousers were requested by him. Originally, the crew arranged a pair of gray trousers of the same style as the shirt. Perhaps after working with the art master Zhang Shuping several times, his aesthetics also improved. On the one hand, he felt the same color, even if it was
The tone of the film is gray, but the overall color is too monotonous.
On the other hand, materials in this era are relatively scarce. Soldiers like him who have transferred from the army will always have several sets of military uniforms brought back from the army. Moreover, most people who have served as soldiers in this era have a special affinity for the army.
complex.
It was as if he had a neighbor in his previous life who served as a ground serviceman in the Air Force for several years. He was discharged from the army during the 1988 disarmament and returned home. For decades after that, he always wore a pair of blue Air Force uniforms, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter.
Military trousers. Even if the military trousers he brought back from the army were worn out later, he would buy the air force blue cloth himself and ask the tailor to make them according to the original military trousers.
Some people would ask him if they didn't understand, and he would always reply with a smile: "I'm used to it."
So He Xin felt that as a retired paratrooper officer, he should wear such a pair of blue Air Force pants.
And just like when he was filming "Conquer", a cotton pad was tied around his waist, creating the image of a downtrodden middle-aged man with a slightly protruding belly.
Senior Sister Zhang is wearing a gray collarless short-sleeved gown that is a bit too big for middle-aged and elderly women today, and a pair of loose cropped trousers that are slightly darker than the gown. She must have something tied around her waist. She was originally thin and thin.
She looked a little bloated at this time. She was holding the script and standing on the opposite side of the street with Lu Yulai, who played her younger brother, and whispered the lyrics to each other.
After He Xin exchanged ideas with director Gu Changwei, who was ready to take the photo himself today, about his position and shooting angle when the shooting started, he walked back to a bicycle parked at the door of the grocery store.
He Xin found out that he has a lot of affinity with the 51-type heavy bicycle recently. He used this type of bicycle as a means of transportation in three movies in a row.
There is a child seat on the bicycle's tripod, and a three- or four-year-old boy is sitting on it. Wang Tong, who has long hair tied up and is wearing a sky blue short-sleeved shirt and a light gray skirt, is standing on the bicycle.
I am teasing the little boy on the side.
"How old are you this year?"
"Four years old!" the little boy said while playing with the toys in his hands.
"Can you count?"
The little boy nodded and started counting with his fingers: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5..."
When he counted to five, the fingers of one hand were not enough, and the other hand was holding a toy and it was difficult to use. The little boy looked troubled, which made Wang Tong giggle and put the toy in his hand.
He took it from one hand to the other and said with a smile: "Do you think you can continue counting like this?"
The little boy's eyes widened, he nodded quickly, and counted down quickly with his fingers excitedly: "6, 7, 8, 9, 10!"
"Wow, you're so smart!" Wang Tong clapped his watch and exclaimed, while also kissing the little boy hard on the face.
Seeing this, He Xin hurriedly said: "Sister Tong, don't do this to the child, come at me!"
"OK!"
Wang Tong straightened her waist with a smile, showing her cute little tiger teeth, raised her chin towards him, and said, "Come here!"
"Hey, it's not good to be in public, forget it!" the guy said with a smile.
"cut!"
Wang Tong rolled his eyes with contempt.
Although they have only known each other for a few days, they have already become quite familiar with each other. The main reason is that Wang Tong has a very lovable personality, cheerful, lively, and unpretentious. She is a typical big girl from the capital. Unlike Senior Sister Zhang, she seems to
Always immersed in the role, a person often tilts his head and looks indifferent.
Today's scene is their last guest appearance on the set. The two of them plus the cute little boy form a family of three.
Wang Tong, like him, also became a monk on the way. She was a dancer in her early years, and later went to Nortel to take a one-year acting training class. After that, she starred in her first TV series "Beijing Summer", and then starred in Wang Xiaoshuai's independent film "Beijing Summer".
She plays the lead female role in the movie "The Girl with a Pole". It is precisely because of Wang Xiaoshuai's presence that the two of them quickly became familiar with each other and even joked without any scruples.
"Are you leaving early tomorrow morning?" Wang Tong asked.
"Yes, the crew over there has been released from quarantine..."
He Xin nodded. It is no secret that he is collaborating with Kwan Jin Peng and Hu Jun again this time, and filming the TV series "Painted Soul" with the most beautiful Hong Kong lady Li Jiaxin. Including the news that the crew was quarantined due to infectious diseases this time.
Newspaper.
As he spoke, he walked over, but when he put his hand on the seat of the bicycle, his eyes suddenly froze, he raised his head, found a prop that was busy, and shouted: "Who is that, come here."
"Brother Xin, what's the matter?" The prop boy ran over and nodded politely.
He Xin pointed to the bicycle lane: "Is this the same bicycle that was used when filming at the Air Force landing site two days ago?"
"Well……"
The prop boy looked confused.
"It must be this car. I recognize the seat cushion. I even gave it a close-up when I took the photo!"
Yo!
The prop boy subconsciously glanced in the direction of the director. Fortunately, the director was sweeping the street with a machine and didn't notice it.
However, this bicycle is equipped with a stroller and a little boy is sitting on it. It is a bit troublesome to change to another one. Moreover, the prop man thinks that He Xin is making a fuss. Who in the audience would pay attention to the seat cushion of a bicycle?
, not to mention that the director has shot so many shots, who knows which scene will be cut into the final film.
"Brother Xin, the filming is about to start, this..." the prop boy said a little embarrassed.
But He Xin raised his hand and pointed across the street and said, "Why don't you get a cushion cover and that's it?"
The prop boy looked in the direction he was pointing and saw several bicycles used as props parked there. One of them had a dark brown corduroy cushion cover on its seat. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said hurriedly:
"I'll put it on right now."
Although the prop man felt that He Xin was making a fuss out of a molehill, he naturally tried his best not to make any mistakes when it was convenient. He hurriedly ran over to take off the seat cushion cover and put it in the car.
After he finished, he nodded and apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Xin!"
He Xin patted the corduroy cushion and said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter!"
The implication is that I will not tell the director about this matter.
The prop boy returned the favor with a grateful smile and went to do other things.
Wang Tong watched this scene quietly, and after it was over, he looked at it carefully and He Xinda said: "I didn't expect you to be quite attentive!"
He Xin laughed and said, "It's not that I'm careful, but that the audience is. If the audience picks out a lot of scandalous scenes, the director won't be able to bear it!"
"Ha, who could be so boring?" Wang Tong said with a smile.
He Xin did not explain that with the popularization of electronic products in the future, there will really be such boring audiences, as if they are specifically looking for trouble, looking for those cheating scenes in movies and TV series, and then compiled them into highlights.
When he was browsing on his mobile phone in his previous life, he liked to read this kind of posts the most, and as long as you read it twice, the operator will push posts specifically for you. There are all kinds of posts, and sometimes it's really good to pass the time.
interesting.
"Hey, Sister Tong, why are you going after filming?" He Xin asked, continuing the previous topic.
"No direction."
Wang Tong shook his head and said with a distressed look: "There is nothing interesting here."
Another purpose of her cameo appearance this time was to avoid the increasingly severe infectious disease in the capital, and she treated this outing as a trip.
"Why don't you go south to find your brother-in-law, why don't you take me with you?"
She got married very young, and her husband is a director. This is her first time directing, and she is currently filming in Bengbu.
By the way, this seemingly delicate woman in front of me is actually very tough. This time she actually drove her Sail SRV all the way from Beijing to Anyang, and she also brought screenwriter Li Qiang with her.
Wang Tong curled his lips and said: "What you think is too good, don't go!"
He Xin then suggested: "How about you go all the way east to Mount Tai, then go to Qingdao, go around the seaside and then return to the capital."
Although Anyang is a small city, everyone will feel familiar when hearing the name, because it is an ancient city with a history of thousands of years. It is located at the junction of the four provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan, with Hebei to the north and Hebei to the south.
The vast Central Plains plain, which leads to the Taihang Mountains to the west and Shandong to the east, has always been a battleground for military strategists.
Wang Tong's eyes lit up this time and he said enthusiastically: "This is a good suggestion. I have never been to Mount Tai or Qingdao!"
"But your Beijing license plate is a problem. Be careful of being caught and taken to quarantine!"
Wang Tong waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "That's no problem. I'll just find someone to get a fake license plate then."
The traffic laws these days are really not strictly enforced. Not to mention that no one is checking for drunk driving. Some brave people even dare to hang fake military plates in order to save some tolls, let alone ordinary fake license plates. And even if they are caught
If you are found out, you will only be fined a little money at most.
However, He Xin still raised his thumb and said with sincere admiration: "Sister, you are so fierce!"
