He Xin met Li Jiaxin in person for the first time in the dressing room of the small red round foreign-style building. He and Guan Jinpeng walked into the dressing room while talking, and when he looked up, he saw Li Jiaxin standing there.
The makeup on the beauty's face is very delicate, but it still can't hide the faint feeling of weariness in her eyes. Thinking about it, this is originally a TV series with a female protagonist. Now it is necessary to speed up the progress. It is indeed very hard.
.
She was wearing a light gray spotted cheongsam, with a bun dotted with exquisite carved headdresses. She casually stood against the wall, and her impeccable and graceful figure immediately appeared, with thousands of manners and all kinds of charm.
Coupled with the elegant demeanor of her gestures and her eyes, she is a replica of the talented female painters of the 1930s.
When she saw the two people coming in, she stood up straight and politely, opened her red lips and shouted: "Director!"
"Michelle, how are you preparing?" Guan Jinpeng nodded and asked.
"Well, it's almost done." Li Jiaxin nodded confidently.
Then she turned her eyes to He Xin, and without waiting for Guan Jinpeng's introduction, she took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Mr. He!"
He Xin was a little surprised, not only because it was the first time he heard her own voice, but it felt very strange. It was very different from the silver bell-like dubbing in the movie. Her voice was slightly deep, but quite heroic.
And when she switched the conversation with Guan Jinpeng from Cantonese to Mandarin, it didn't sound so stiff.
"Hello, Sister Jiaxin!" He Xin nodded hurriedly to her. He wanted to reach out his hand out of habit, but he hesitated and retracted it.
There was no way he could help it. He lived forty years in his previous life, but he still felt like there was a little boy living in his heart. He didn't talk to girls since he was a child. When he met a beautiful and outstanding woman, he felt nervous and restrained.
This was completely different from the mood he had when he first met Zhou Xun and Jiang Shan. He was excited, but now he was shy and reserved, just like when he first saw Cheng Haoshi when he signed up for the China Theater Company.
Li Jiaxin may have been used to this kind of boy who suddenly became restrained in front of her, so she reached out to him generously and said with a smile: "Hello!"
"Oh, Hello!"
He didn't dare to be rude to the beautiful woman, and he let go of her hand after a brief touch.
Guan Jinpeng originally wanted to say a few words to Li Jiaxin, but when he saw the two starting to interact, he swallowed the words on his lips and blinked at them behind the lenses. Especially He Xin, this scene
It suddenly reminded him of Lan Yu. When Lan Yu met Chen Handong again, he seemed to be the same, with a nervous and reserved expression, but his eyes were full of heat.
Guan Jinpeng became excited, and the filming progress was very tense. On the one hand, he was worried about the cooperation between Li Jiaxin and He Xin, and on the other hand, he was also worried about whether He Xin could get into the mood as soon as possible.
At this time, the delicate things that He Xin showed when facing Li Jiaxin fit perfectly with the character of Tian Shouxin in the play. When he faced Pan Yuliang, he was exactly the same kind of hot, shy and reserved.
At this time, Guan Jinpeng suddenly felt that if he still wanted to take care of Li Jiaxin, it was unnecessary. He should let them try it first. Maybe one party's emotions would be aroused by the other party.
"Axin, you change your clothes first, and you two will synchronize your words later, and we'll try shooting a segment tonight, okay?" Lao Guan said with concern before leaving.
"OK!"
"You get busy first, I'll go upstairs to familiarize myself with the lines."
There is only one temporary dressing room. If one person wants to change clothes, the other must avoid it. Li Jiaxin pointed to the upstairs and said hello with a smile.
"I've finished it here, and I'll come up to you." He Xin walked her to the door in a gentlemanly manner.
His hair has grown much longer, and the makeup artist on the set took the time to help him trim it a little in the afternoon. It is roughly similar to the hairstyle he had when filming "Purple Butterfly", except that there is no hair oil, and it is naturally parted in the middle, giving him a student look.
Zhang Shuping helped him match a blue and white thick-striped and thin-checked shirt, overalls and a beige hunting suit. He Xin and Zhang Shuping have worked together many times, and there is no need to measure the size. The custom-made costume fits perfectly on the body.
He looked at himself in the mirror and adjusted himself. The Chinese tunic suit didn't look like a Chinese tunic suit, and the jacket didn't look like a hunting suit. He also asked doubtfully: "It's so trendy. Were there any clothes like this in those days?"
Zhang Shuping, who was questioned about her professionalism, immediately said in a bad voice: "This is a model from the early 20th century! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
"Really!"
This guy didn't care about Zhang Shuping's unhappy tone. He looked around again, nodded to himself in the mirror and said, "Well, he looks good. Uncle Zhang, I want this dress later!"
He Xin has a habit of always leaving a souvenir after filming, such as the silver mountain bike from "Bicycle", which he still rides today.
There are also several sets of Japanese casual clothes from "Lanyu"; the violin from "The Little Tailor"; the little Buddha statue that defrauded people of 3,000 yuan from "Incense"; including "Landscape of Love" which was just finished filming,
He snatched back the comic "The Little Blind Girl" drawn by Zhang Shuping himself.
Zhang Shuping had long known this bad habit of his, so he curled his lips and snorted.
Maybe when we were working together on "Lan Yu", I saw him carrying a lot of clothes back and thought he was taking advantage. But now, he has long gone beyond taking advantage, and in the eyes of others, these are just souvenirs.
Of course, he would not hand over anything that was too expensive. For example, a later actress from Bay Area gave away millions of jewelry to the crew after filming a movie, but was chased to her home by the producer and beaten up.
He packed up and ran upstairs, where he saw Li Jiaxin holding a script and learning Mandarin pronunciation word for word from a young woman wearing glasses that He Xin had met downstairs in the afternoon.
Only then did He Xin understand why Li Jiaxin's Mandarin was not as blunt as most Hong Kong stars. It turned out that although Kwan Jinpeng was filming a TV series this time, he still continued his bad habits when filming movies and insisted on using simultaneous sound for live recordings.
This is indeed very difficult for Li Meiren. Although she had hired a Mandarin teacher to practice Mandarin as early as the early preparations. However, the accent is difficult to change, and time is tight, so she can only bring the teacher with her.
Follow the lines in the script and learn them word for word.
Then, when He Xin was dubbing words with her, he found that although Li Meiren occasionally sounded a bit Hong Kong in the pronunciation of certain words, she was generally pretty good.
"Ready?"
"A!"
He Xin was standing outside the door carrying a black leather bag and knocking on the door. The camera was set inside the house. After a while, he heard the sound of high heels coming downstairs.
"Squeak!"
The door opened, and He Xin's smiling face appeared on the screen.
"Keep your word!"
Just as Li Meiren shouted, she heard Guan Jinpeng shout: "Stop! Michelle, your voice is a little more cheerful."
"Good director." Li Meiren responded quickly.
Then he tried to use a cheerful tone and shouted twice: "Keep your word! Keep your word!"
"Director, do you think this is okay?"
"Well, that's it. Start again!"
"Keep your word!"
Li Meiren's voice was filled with excitement. She took a step to the side, and her three-dimensional, almost perfect profile appeared on the screen.
He Xin walked in, stood in the hall, looked at her with a smile, and shouted: "Yu Liang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Jinpeng shouted: "Cut! Passed!"
This is what's called a cutscene, and it's very simple.
The next scene is a scene of two people talking and laughing as they go upstairs. Compared with the previous cutscene, it is slightly more difficult.
The camera position needs to be readjusted and then the lighting set up.
It has to be said that Li Meiren worked very hard. She took advantage of this free time to quickly familiarize herself with her Mandarin teacher a few times about the lines she was going to say in the next scene.
He Xin went outside to smoke a cigarette.
When he came in, he found that there was a young man outside who was carrying a camera and holding a notebook in his hand. He looked like a reporter and was whispering to the on-site producer. When he saw He Xin come in, the reporter's eyes visibly lit up.
, quickly shouted: "Teacher He!"
Maybe Teacher He is his nickname in school, but outside, reporters or staff often call him that. Once you hear it often, you get used to it, and he won't put on a pretentious look or say hypocritically.
He said something like "I don't deserve the title of teacher." He nodded politely to the reporter.
Just when the reporter was about to open his mouth, he heard Li Jiaxin shouting in the dressing room: "Mr. He!"
"Here we come." He Xin responded hurriedly, walked in quickly, and said: "Sister Jiaxin, didn't I tell you just now, just call me A Xin..."
The on-site producer was very understanding. When he saw He Xin walking into the dressing room, he quickly closed the door.
After a while, the camera was in place and the lighting adjustments were completed. The on-site producer came over and knocked on the door to inform them that they were ready to start filming.
"Michelle, for a moment, put your right hand in this position, so that the camera will show your hand and arm first. When you go upstairs, don't walk too fast, and don't be too deliberate, as if you were a visitor at home.
You go upstairs and chat with the guests, be more relaxed and casual."
Guan Jinpeng personally demonstrated to Li Jiaxin, and even made a mark on the handrail of the stairs, asking Li Jiaxin to put her hands to this position for a while, so that the camera set at the corner of the stairs on the second floor could just capture her hands and exposed sleeves.
half of an arm.
"Ready!"
"A!"
Li Jiaxin and He Xin went upstairs one after another. At the corner, Li Jiaxin went to the mark on the handrail of the stairs. Her hand with a shining ring and half of her slender white arm appeared in the picture. Look.
Guan Jinpeng, who was sitting in front of the monitor when he saw this scene, couldn't help but let out a "tsk" sound, and was secretly proud of the cleverness of the shot he had arranged.
Then I saw Li Jiaxin walking around the corner, turning around and smiling at He Xin: "The words I told you last time didn't scare away this good friend of yours."
He Xinxin held the bag, looked up at the back of Miao Man in front of him, and said, "I think you may not be able to pack so many things by yourself."
As he spoke, he smiled slightly and said, "Isn't it still a mess now?"
At this time, the two of them just walked to the corner of the second floor and faced the camera. Li Jiaxin turned around and once again showed her perfect profile like a white marble carving in the picture, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "You guessed it right!"
After saying that, she walked directly past the camera, revealing He Xin's bright dog-licking smile behind her.
Guan Jinpeng was very satisfied with this shot. Just when he was about to open his mouth to shout, He Xin shouted first: "Stop!"
"what happened?"
He Xin was seen shaking the bag he was carrying just now and said: "Wrong! Wrong bag!"
When the shooting started just now, he took the bag from the Prop King and slung it over his shoulder without paying attention. Until the shot was about to end, he accidentally glanced down and suddenly realized that he had been carrying it when he entered the door just now.
It was obviously a black leather bag, but now it turned into a blue canvas bag in the blink of an eye. What's even more weird is that even if the props were taken by mistake, I didn't notice it, and even the recorders and director Guan Jinpeng didn't notice it.
The receptionist holding the microphone, as well as the photographer, lighting, field staff and other on-site staff burst into laughter. Only the prop boy and the recorder who heard the sound ran out and apologized hurriedly: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
The prop boy's face was even redder. He ran up with the black leather bag he had just found and quickly replaced the blue canvas bag in He Xin's hand. At the same time, he kept saying: "Director, Xin
Brother, I'm sorry, I got it wrong."
"Why are you running up there? I have to go down and retake the photo anyway." He Xin didn't care and joked with him with a smile.
Although Guan Jinpeng looked depressed, on the one hand, he had a good temper and usually did not curse easily on the set. Besides, he didn't even notice it just now, so he could only wave his hands and said: "Be careful in the future and don't make this mistake again."
"I got it, director!" The prop king nodded and bowed in response, and then went downstairs dejectedly.
He Xin also followed him downstairs, but as soon as he got downstairs, he saw the young reporter holding a camera and making random gestures up the stairs. He couldn't help but frowned.
It stands to reason that the filming period should be kept confidential. Except for the crew's own photographer, no one else is allowed to take photos casually, let alone a reporter. But he is not sure about the situation. Since this reporter can appear on the set, no one will say anything.
Someone should have said hello beforehand.
A very good shot, but because of a bag error, it had to be retaken. Li Jiaxin, who was upstairs, also smiled and went downstairs to retake the shot, but when she just walked to the corner of the stairs, she looked up and saw the scene upstairs.
After looking at the lens of the camera in the young reporter's hand, his expression suddenly changed, he turned and went upstairs, and at the same time spoke to Guan Jinpeng in Cantonese.
Although He Xin did not see her face, the anxiety and impatience in her words were clearly evident.
He Xin downstairs was inevitably a little puzzled. Although he had only known Li Jiaxin for a few hours, the impression left on him by Li Meiren was that she was a very polite and unassuming person. How could she suddenly
Such a big reaction?
It seems that filming is stressful, but it doesn't seem like it. I was still smiling when I went downstairs, but I fell out when I saw the reporter.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Guan Jinpeng calling the on-site producer to come upstairs. After a while, the on-site producer came down from upstairs with a slumped head. He whispered a few words to the embarrassed little reporter, and then asked him to come out of the small building.
.
If Li Meiren didn't come down, the scene wouldn't be filmed. He couldn't go up to urge her, so he could only ask the on-site producer in a low voice: "What's going on?"
The on-site producer was an old member of Guan Jinpeng's team and he was also a Hong Konger. He glanced upstairs and said with a somewhat dissatisfied look: "She was once snaked, but ten years she was afraid of well ropes."
Oh, this guy is quite cultured!
He Xin would definitely not care about other people's gossip, but he would like to inquire about Li Meiren's.
The on-site producer was an old acquaintance with him, so he had nothing to avoid, so he pulled him into a corner and chatted about the gossip about Li Meiren.
It turns out that just before the filming of "Painted Soul", Li Meiren was photographed by Hong Kong paparazzi performing a "drunk imperial concubine" on the streets of Hong Kong. It is said that Li Meiren always behaves dignifiedly and drinks a lot, but she was not too short after entering the bar.
She got drunk in just two hours, and in the end it was her sister who drove the drunk Li Meiren home.
Although I don’t know why Miss Li got drunk late at night, Hong Kong’s entertainment newspapers and gossip magazines have always inherited the glorious tradition of their original father, Fleet Street, and are particularly good at all kinds of speculation, concocting fake news and self-pleasure.
So some said it was because Li Meiren's old lover Li Min had recently separated from Shu Qi, and some said it was because Li Meiren's other old lover Liu Ruanxiong had recently become a father, and Li Meiren could only stay alone in the empty boudoir.
It's so lonely that it's unbearable. Anyway, it's making a fuss.
This time I came to the Mainland to film a movie. I originally wanted to avoid being chased by the annoying paparazzi in Hong Kong and avoid the limelight. But today I suddenly saw a reporter on the set and pointed the camera at her, so Li Meiren instantly went crazy.
