The Mining Lamp Factory is located in a place called Jinzhu Town, about ten kilometers away from the city.
Night had fallen when they arrived here, and the car was parked on a basketball court just outside the factory gate. The street lights were on, and several cars from the production crew were parked next to it.
When He Xin and Gao Yuanyuan arrived, the crew had already started filming. It is said that the original starting ceremony was held in this small cement field.
There are several dark factory buildings behind the basketball court. The shooting scene tonight is in the factory cafeteria next to the basketball court. At this time, the lights are bright and there is a lot of people.
The production's location team has been busy here for a few days. This afternoon, executive director Niu Le has started shooting some scenes of the extras used by the production crew and the extras hired from the technical school here.
The arrival of the three leading actors immediately caused a commotion. Fortunately, they had already taken care of them before. No one gathered around to ask for autographs or anything. They all chased He Xin and Gao Yuanyuan with curious and enthusiastic eyes. As for the unfamiliar Wang Yangyang, they naturally
was ignored.
Wang Xiaoshuai did not prepare to shoot as soon as he came up. Instead, he turned on the four-speaker old-fashioned tape recorder, and nostalgic dance music suddenly sounded in the simply decorated canteen.
According to the rehearsal in the afternoon, let the extras on the scene liven up the atmosphere first, with special emphasis on relaxation and involvement.
The scene was very strange, the girls were all watching, and the dance floor was full of boys and girls swaying to the slow dance music. Most of their dance moves were clumsy and looked very awkward.
But in the words of the director, this kind of music was a debauched sound at that time, and dancing was not allowed. Most of the girls were still shy, but they couldn't resist the temptation of such trendy things. They were always half-committed and eager to give it a try.
, but very shy in action.
At this time, Gao Yuanyuan and Wang Yangyang were like a pair of good sisters, mingling hand in hand among the girls. They took advantage of the gap before the official start of filming to compare lines and practice their moves.
It took more than half an hour to warm up, and when the heat was almost ready, the actual shooting started.
"A!"
The camera first showed a large panorama. The boys were smoking cigarettes and puffing away. The girls gathered together and looked at the two or three pairs of boys on the dance floor hugging each other and dancing to the music.
As the camera slowly swept across the crowd, it finally settled on Gao Yuanyuan and Wang Yangyang standing among the girls. Compared to Wang Yangyang, who stretched his neck with a look of joy, Gao Yuanyuan, who had been under the high-pressure education of her strict father for a long time,
Clearly feeling uncomfortable.
Then she leaned close to Wang Yangyang's ear and said, "Xiaozhen, should we go?"
"No, let's play a little longer!"
Standing on tiptoes and looking at Wang Yangyang who was working hard, he couldn't look away from her.
Wang Xiaoshuai, who saw this scene on the monitor screen, couldn't help but secretly nodded. Even though Wang Yangyang is a newcomer, this girl has a good understanding.
But he was also slightly worried at this time. Today's scene was Gao Yuanyuan's first rivalry scene with her, and he was afraid that Yuanyuan could not keep up with the opponent's rhythm, or that the two of them just didn't get along.
But the scene that appeared immediately made me say "Huh" uncontrollably.
I saw Gao Yuanyuan pouting. The Qinghong she played had a soft personality. When Xiaozhen refused to leave, she could only accompany her, but the look on her face was full of reluctance.
What this shot wants to express is that Xiaozhen is playful, while Qinghong is reserved. According to Wang Xiaoshuai's original intention, this shot stays on the two of them for a while, and then calls it quits.
But at this moment, Gao Yuanyuan pouted reluctantly, lowered her head and casually scratched the back of her hand, and then raised her hand to wipe her mouth.
The movements are very natural, but they suddenly amplify her unwillingness and impatience, making the picture more full and three-dimensional.
Wang Xiaoshuai was a little stunned when he saw it.
To be honest, during this period of time, he had become accustomed to Gao Yuanyuan's rigid acting style, but he inadvertently gave himself a surprise here. He even forgot to say stop until the assistant director next to him reminded him, and then he replied Come to God.
"stop!"
When called to stop, director Xiaoshuai specifically took off his headphones, walked out from behind the partition screen, gave Gao Yuanyuan a thumbs up and praised: "Yuanyuan, this one is good! Yangyang is also good."
After filming for more than ten days, what Gao Yuanyuan heard the most was:
"Yuanyuan is wrong with this..."
"Yuanyuan, don't be too rigid, there should be some changes..."
"Yuanyuan, it's still not right..."
Today's scene is not only the first time I've done it, but it's also the first time I've heard praise from the director.
"Thank you, director!"
Da Meiyuan smiled happily, which made all the extras on the scene shine. You must know that because of the characters in the play, it was the first time for them to see the smiling face of this beautiful female star.
Both men and women subconsciously feel amazing.
It's just that the beauty's smiling face is not for them. After saying hello to the director, their eyes began to eagerly look for the guy who was still wearing toad glasses without taking off the tags at night to show off.
Unfortunately, I searched around but couldn't find it. While the beauty suppressed her smile, she looked slightly regretful.
"Okay, prepare one."
Gao Yuanyuan's unexpected and wonderful performance today cheered up Wang Xiaoshuai. But the protagonist of the scene tonight has not yet appeared. Although he is relieved, Wang Xiaoshuai also has a vague expectation at this time, hoping to bring him another one. What a surprise.
Change the camera position and the dance music starts again.
"A!"
"Hey, Li Jun! Li Jun is here."
As Wang Yangyang exclaimed, Gao Yuanyuan looked over there and saw the "Elvis"-looking guy wearing toad glasses with his hands in his pockets and a group of followers wearing fixed accompaniments, following the music. The head walked in through the door little by little.
After entering the door, he glanced around and walked unsteadily. When passing by the crowd, he may have spotted two unfamiliar faces. He stopped and stared at each other for a while, until the other person gave up his position and left. Give up.
He looked like a little ruffian from the late 1980s. And it was this kind of person that especially attracted the attention of girls in that era.
Looking at that guy's appearance, Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but want to laugh besides praising what the other person was acting like. But when she saw the camera turning towards her, she quickly held back her smile and returned to her original expression. Look.
At this time, she still kept in mind what He Xin taught her before. She did not look at the arrogant guy opposite like Wang Yangyang next to her. She just turned her head and looked at him, and then looked away with some confusion. Look at this excited bestie next to me.
What she likes is Xiaogen, a kind of honest person, who is destined to have a different aesthetic from her best friend.
It's just that He Xin didn't stay long with this group of followers. A regular actor came in and whispered a few words to him. He looked a little solemn. He took a few puffs of the cigarette in his hand, and after pondering for a while, he took the first step.
He walked towards the door with his followers cheering and crowding behind him.
Looking at his background, Wang Yangyang, who was still bright-eyed, obviously looked disappointed.
"OK! Passed!"
Wang Xiaoshuai shouted excitedly.
Today went surprisingly smoothly.
…
Dances, in that era, had a strong appeal to young people who had very little spare time. If a factory held a dance party at night, young workers from surrounding factories would often flock to it. However, the space was limited, and there was a lack of fertilizer and water.
When people move out of the country, various disputes are bound to occur.
At this time, the executive director Niu Le also dressed up, wearing a pair of toad glasses with lighter lenses and no tags on them, gray youth clothes, and a white large lapel shirt with dots, but this guy is pretty cool.
Thief, he even had a sweater underneath.
Unlike He Xin's jacket, which only contained a yellow large lapel shirt of the same style, it was a typical look that required grace but not warmth. As soon as the director called to stop, Xiao Luzi quickly took the down jacket from Xiao Luzi's hand and wrapped it up.
A screen was used to separate a porch from the entrance of the cafeteria. The two wooden framed glass doors were tightly closed with curtains, and the incandescent lamp overhead was bright.
He Xin was discussing with the bulging Niu Le, "Brother Niu, I don't think you need to be brave and fierce, and don't talk too much. This is my territory, and of course I am the boss. Just retreat when you are in trouble and just say a few words."
.what do you think?"
There was only one sentence in the script for this shot, and the dialogue had to be negotiated.
Niu Le thought for a while, frowned and said, "Isn't it a little simpler?"
The crew's funds are tight, and some guest roles can only be digested by the crew. As the executive director, he has to take on the role himself.
"Simple is just right. What gangsters pay attention to is that people are cruel and don't talk too much. If you talk too much, it will be false."
As someone who has played the role of Brother Qiang, and Yuan Hexin was also a fierce and aggressive guy in his hometown in Northeast China, this kind of scene is very familiar to him.
Niu Leze has been a good boy since he was a child. He has never seen the character of a gangster before. Seeing He Xin's words were conclusive, he could only nod his head and said: "Sure!"
"Cameras in place!"
"The reception is fine!"
"A!"
The camera was focused on the door. The glass door was half opened, and Niu Le was seen leaning half of his body in from the outside. Followed by a large group of young people, all of them stretched their necks to look inside. Two people were guarding the door and refused to let him in.
They enter.
While they were arguing, He Xin came out with someone else. His hands were still in his jacket pockets, and he looked at the door without saying a word at the noisy group of people who wanted to come in.
Just seeing them appear, the scene suddenly became quiet. The few assistants who were originally guarding the gate turned around and saw that the boss of their factory finally appeared, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Niu Le, the leader outside the door, saw He Xin and slowly stood up straight. He looked like a king meeting a king. He pushed up the toad mirror on the bridge of his nose and raised his head high, as if looking at people through his nostrils.
I just wanted to speak my lines...
"stop!"
Wang Xiaoshuai suppressed his laughter and shouted: "Aniu, your expression is too exaggerated, you can't do this!"
"Uh... Director, how do we do this?" Niu Le said helplessly.
Although there are acting classes in the directing department of Nortel, this is really not his strong point, it is just trying to catch up.
"Just be normal, don't go too far...Xiao He, you guide our Director Niu."
Wang Xiaoshuai is also not good at training actors, but fortunately, the person next to him is a ready-made performance coach.
"That's right, Brother Niu, don't make it complicated. It's just that we both hate each other. You just need to show off the intensity without even using lines."
"Both are disgusted by it?"
Niu Le muttered and made two expressions, but at first glance they were either exaggerated or fake.
Helpless, He Xin had no choice but to say: "Brother Niu, actually you don't have to look at anything, just show off the dislike you had for me when we first met."
Niu Le was startled for a moment, then said with an unhappy face: "Hey, it's been so many years, you kid still remembers this?"
"Hey, when I debuted, I was bullied. Of course I took a notebook and wrote it down! Okay, don't talk nonsense, I don't believe you forgot. Hurry up and show off the energy you had at that time. The director is waiting
Here we are, the task is difficult tonight, so hurry up!"
"..."
"A!"
Re-shooting, this time Director Niu finally showed his true colors, slowly stood up straight, raised his hand to take a puff of cigarette, and looked at He Xin coldly, like I am standing here, you are not allowed in or not
Look.
When the camera returned to He Xinsheng, the assistant beside him whispered: "He is from Chiguang Factory."
"What happened to Chiguang Factory?" He Xin snorted coldly.
I saw his head tilted to the side strangely, without even looking at him, he said coldly: "The last time the Chiguang Factory held a dance, no one was allowed in?"
Yes, one word will kill you instantly!
Director Niu was obviously into the drama. He held the cigarette butt, took a long drag, and nodded to him: "Okay!"
As he said that, he threw the cigarette butt hard on the ground and turned his head: "Let's go!"
Wang Xiaoshuai did not return to the monitor, but stood beside the camera and watched. When Niu Le turned around, he clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, passed!"
…
He Xin led people back to the dance hall, which was still very lively.
Just as he lowered his head to light his cigarette, he felt as if someone was always staring at him. He froze for a moment, turned his head and looked in the direction of the gaze he felt, and saw Wang Yangyang in the crowd at a glance.
Speaking of which, this girl's acting skills are really good. When their eyes met, her eyes widened subconsciously, and then she looked away in panic, not daring to look at him.
However, he would take a peek from time to time.
interesting!
A smile appeared on the corner of He Xin's mouth. He calmly continued to lean over and light his eyes on the flame of the lighter in the follower's hand. He straightened up and blew out a puff of smoke. He looked at the shy little girl who kept avoiding his gaze.
I whispered a few words to the extra guy next to me.
The actor turned around and left.
After a while, the music suddenly stopped, but then the disco music of "Hodong" played.
The scene suddenly burst into cheers, and everyone began to twist to the music.
You must know that these days, apart from Slow 3, Fast 4, Rumba and Cha Cha, disco is the most popular.
He Xin threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and walked to the center of the venue. When the people around him saw him coming on stage, they consciously gave up the venue.
He picked up his pants, put on a posture, and suddenly began to twist violently, his movements were funny and full of arrogance.
