Chapter 449: Not everyone becomes Lu Xiao or Wang Baoqiang
Because we are located in the west, the sun rises very late here.
Being unfamiliar with the place and located on a plateau, He Xin did not dare to go out for a run as usual, but just worked out for a while in the hotel gym.
As long as he is filming, he pays more attention to exercise than usual, because the dopamine secreted by exercise will make people more focused.
There is a big temperature difference between day and night here. For example, when he arrived yesterday afternoon, the temperature was around 17 or 18 degrees Celsius, so a light jacket was just right. But as soon as the sun went down, the temperature plummeted to about zero degrees, so he needed to wear a down jacket.
And he also heard that the Yangbajing side is colder because of its higher altitude.
It wasn't until half past seven in the morning that the sky started to get dark. By now, He Xin had already finished masturbating and had taken a shower. When he went out, he specially wrapped himself in a thick down jacket and wore a black woolen hat. Here.
The sun is too dazzling and the intensity of ultraviolet radiation is high, so sunglasses and sunscreen cream are absolutely indispensable. This is what my girlfriend has repeatedly warned me on the phone.
"Teacher He!"
In the hotel lobby, the director's assistant Li Yang stopped him. Standing next to him was a girl who was dressed fashionably and obviously had a Tibetan style. She looked familiar at first glance.
"Mr. He, let me introduce you. This is Zoya, the actor who plays Dolma."
The girl named Suoya was very excited when she saw He Xin's expression, and hurriedly said: "Hello, Teacher He, please take good care of me."
The girl speaks fluent Chinese. The Dolma she plays is another character played by He Xin, the Tibetan wife of Chen Qiushui's son Chen Kunlun. The two have several scenes opposite each other.
Since he was an actor in the group, He Xin immediately showed enthusiasm, shook hands with the girl and said with a smile: "Hello, Zoya!"
The little girl is not very old, she is just in her early twenties this year. Maybe it is because of the climate or nationality, she looks a bit old, but she is just right to play the wife of the middle-aged Chen Kunlun.
Since everyone wanted to cooperate, it was necessary to get to know each other in advance. He Xin invited her to have breakfast together and chat while eating.
During the chat, he learned that Suoya had studied in Chongqing. He had just come from Chongqing and chatted with her in his newly learned bad Chongqing dialect. The atmosphere was very relaxed and made the little girl nervous.
My mood became much more relaxed.
The scenes between him and Zoya were arranged relatively late, because it was the first time for the other to act in a movie, so they entered the set in advance to feel the atmosphere of the set.
Filming is like this. Young actors are generally more serious and hardworking, while big-name stars always arrive late. In addition to schedule factors, there are inevitably other factors. For example, Liang Ruoshi, who also plays a very important role here,
So far no one has been seen.
Halfway through breakfast, director Yin Li also came over with a plate and sat at the same table with them. Although Yin Li seemed quite serious at first glance, after getting to know him, he found that he was quite down-to-earth.
He will put on the airs of being a director.
He pointed at Suo Ya, who was sitting opposite, and said with a smile to He Xin: "Xiao He, look who she looks like?"
Not to mention, he felt that this Tibetan girl looked familiar to him when they met just now, but he didn't think of it for a moment. Now he looked at her carefully for a long time, then patted his head and said, "Sister Xiang Bingbing!"
Of course, I can't say they are very similar, but in some specific details such as eyebrows, nose, and mouth shape, I still have a bit of a resemblance to Li Bingbing. The only thing he can't tell is that his skin is a little darker.
"That's right!"
Yin Li said with a smile on his face: "I picked her out of more than a hundred photos of Tibetan girls. Later, when I saw the real person, I was very sure that she was Dolma."
In fact, He Xin disagreed with Yin Li's point of view. Because Chen Kunlun is the son of Chen Qiushui and Li Bingbing, what does it mean for Chen Kunlun to find a wife who looks like his own mother?
Of course, he would not refute the director's "alternative" point of view. He just said to Zoya, who was always smiling: "You see, the director is very optimistic about you. You must seize the opportunity to perform well!"
At nine o'clock, the crew gathered on time and set off. As the male lead, the crew arranged for him an 80% new Land Cruiser, which is commonly known as Toyota Land Cruiser. Off-road vehicles are probably the most suitable for the ups and downs of the plateau.
the way.
In fact, accommodation and car treatment like this, including the shooting schedule, are all clearly stipulated in the contract. But He Xin has long been accustomed to not caring about these, because his manager Chang Jihong helps with everything. And in the past
His current status in the industry has already reached this point.
At first, Chen Peng, the Zhalang reporter who was with the group, wanted to squeeze into a car with him and conduct an exclusive interview on the road, but He Xin politely declined.
To be honest, it's not uncommon for reporters to appear on the set before, but they always keep a certain distance from the actors and the filming, and even if they want to interview, they have to go through the set's publicity department and make an appointment. He is really willing to get involved like this.
Some are not used to it.
The weather was still sunny, with blue sky and white clouds along the way, the road winding on the vast prairie, dotted with sheep and yaks, and the towering snow-capped mountains in the distance.
There was nothing to say about the scenery, but He Xin, who was sitting in the car, had no intention of enjoying it. He closed his eyes and mime. Although the preparations this time were very inadequate, he had already mastered the most basic tasks of memorizing lines and familiarizing himself with the script.
It’s done, what’s missing now is an in-depth understanding and experience of the characters.
For him, preparing for a role is often a long and painful process that requires constant speculation, constant experience, and even constant denial.
He didn't feel much about it before, but as he got more and more into the work of acting, looking back, he suddenly found that the recitation of lines by a certain actor that often appeared on the Internet became something worthy of praise. Now in his eyes,
Coming here is simply an incredible thing.
It’s no wonder that the threshold for actors in later generations is getting lower and lower, film and television productions are getting worse and worse, and the performances of those so-called fresh meat and flowers are extremely eye-catching.
After driving for an hour and a half, we finally arrived at our destination, Yangbajing.
Since the filming started on October 8, the crew has been setting up scenes here, sweeping the streets, and filming some behind-the-scenes scenes, cutscenes, and scenes with extras.
Today's shooting location has been moved from the street along the street to a temporary hospital. This was originally a geothermal hotel, which took on nearly half of the shooting tasks here.
When they arrived, the crew who had been stationed here in the early stage were still busy setting up the scene. Two old-fashioned Dongfeng trucks with square heads and square heads were parked next to them.
He had never seen such an ancient truck in his previous life, so he couldn't help but feel curious, so he went over and asked a field worker who was leaning beside the truck.
"Hey, there is such a car here?"
The little brother recognized him at a glance. When he saw the big star taking the initiative to talk to him, he said with excitement and embarrassment: "No, these are prop cars. They were specially transported from the capital. There are only two of them in total."
"Can it be opened?"
"This one is okay, but the other one is really bad. It has been repaired several times, but it just can't start normally and has to be pushed."
The younger brother said, still looking very shy: "Mr. He, actually we have met. I worked on the crew of "The Promise" last year, and I even helped you move the props."
"Oh, no wonder you look so familiar to me!" He Xin pretended to suddenly realize.
After hanging out with his girlfriend for a long time, his originally touching emotional intelligence has also increased a lot. Such performances often appear in life. In fact, there were more than a thousand people on the crew of "The Promise". Who would pay attention to what he said every day?
A passerby running around busy.
Since there was a connection, he deliberately took out a cigarette, handed one to the younger brother, and asked casually: "So you should know Lu Xiao?"
At first, the boy saw that what he took out was a cheap Double Happiness, and his expression was a little subtle. But when he saw that he had one in his mouth, he was instantly relieved. On the contrary, he felt friendly, and he quickly took out a lighter to help light the cigarette.
, and then nodded sharply and said: "Of course I know you."
As he spoke, he said with an envious look: "I heard that he really became your assistant later. Oh, by the way, Teacher He, did Lu Xiao come with you this time?"
"Oh, he is not only my assistant now, but also has other duties. He didn't come this time."
He Xin didn't mind bragging for his assistant in front of his former co-workers, and then asked curiously: "Do you still have contact with Lu Xiao?"
"No."
The younger brother shook his head and said with a smile: "We haven't known each other for a long time, and he has reached another level with you now, and we can't climb up to it!"
The younger brother was very calm, and there was no sour or regretful tone. He was more just envious. Of course, one cannot say that the younger brother was snobbish. After gaining power, he forgot about his former poor brother.
Especially after He Xin had just finished filming "Curiosity Killed the Cat", he felt that this was the reality. For example, after he became rich, he had long regarded the poor guys at the construction site or the express delivery company as people who were in a hurry on the journey of life.
Just a passerby passing by.
The younger brother looked at him puffing away the cigarette happily and hesitated, but in the end he hesitated and reminded: "Teacher He, you don't have altitude sickness, do you? If so, I suggest you smoke less.
smoke."
"Really? Thank you, but I'm fine!" He Xin nodded and smiled, while having a good impression of this little brother.
Then he asked: "Are you okay too?"
The younger brother smiled shyly and said, "I'm fine now. I was in trouble when I first came here. My reaction was so severe that I had to lie down for two days before I recovered."
While He Xin was chatting with this guy, he also asked about some previous preparations and shooting situations of the crew.
The scene here requires a lot of extras, including many Tibetans from pastoral areas gathered today. They are wearing their own traditional costumes. One of their biggest features is that they love to laugh and are full of energy. This is similar to He Xin
The lifeless group of extras seen in the mainland in the past is very different. Even their enthusiasm and smiles will be infected by the actors themselves.
The crew also has an assistant director named Qiongda who was hired from Lhasa. He is not only the assistant director who is responsible for the extras, but also a translator. At this moment, he may be the busiest person in the entire crew, and he has many responsibilities at the same time.
Helping the extras rehearse, and also acting as a temporary translator for director Yin Li.
Although it was almost eleven o'clock at this time, due to the lack of sunlight, the director informed that we had to wait for the light. In Yin Li's words, since the plateau is so beautiful and the sun is so bright, we should try to use natural light to make it more authentic.
It's just that He Xin and the enthusiastic prop boy hadn't chatted for long, and they hadn't even finished a cigarette when they saw the director's assistant Li Yang yelling over there: "Teacher He, come and try on the costume."
He Xin finally took another hard puff on the cigarette butt before throwing it on the ground and crushing it with his feet. Speaking of which, this guy doesn't care about the original ecological environment of the roof of the world at all. There is no way, no one has this awareness these days. Otherwise, Chen
The director won't ruin Shangri-La's Bigu Tianchi like that, but it hasn't exploded yet.
"See you later!"
He Xin waved to the younger brother and walked over there.
The little brother looked at He Xin's back and felt a little regretful. As a worker at the bottom of the crew, although it is a huge honor for a big star to come and talk to you and hand you cigarettes, but in the case of Lu Xiao, it is
Just like Wang Baoqiang in the group performance back then, everyone wants to be the next Wang Baoqiang or Lu Xiao, but unfortunately there is no such opportunity!
