Two sprinkler trucks fired water cannons into the sky at both ends of the old street, creating a scene of heavy rain.
He Xin and Zhang Zhiheng stood facing each other in the rain holding umbrellas.
I have to mention here the rigor of the art, styling, costume and props departments of the creative team behind the play "Yun Shui Yao".
For example, both He Xin and Zhang Zhiheng are dressed in black student uniforms with a student hat on their head, which is the Japanese-style student look of Chen Zhen played by Li Lianjie in "Fist of Heroes".
At that time, two years after the end of World War II, Wanwan had just been recovered from the Japanese. The style of Japanese student clothing was very consistent with the characteristics of that era.
Moreover, the umbrellas held by the two of them were Zhang Zhiheng, who came from a privileged family, and was holding an "foreign umbrella" with a black umbrella surface and a metal structure; He Xin was from the countryside of Yunlin, and was holding a yellow oilcloth, bamboo-structured "oilcloth umbrella."
”.
In this way, although everyone is wearing student uniforms, the different family backgrounds of the two can be distinguished from the umbrellas held in each hand.
At this time, the camera pretends to be confronting the two of them at the entrance of the alley. Zhang Zhiheng, who has a crush on Wang Biyun and often hangs around the door of Wang's house like an idiot. He has no courage to confess his love in person and is satisfied with just one look at his sweetheart. When he sees He Xin coming from Wang's house
When he came out, he had a look of envy and jealousy on his face, especially when he saw He Xin passing him by without even acknowledging him. He couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Have your father-in-law and mother-in-law invited you to dinner?"
Because the Queen Mother noticed the love affair between him and Wang Biyun, He Xin, who had just been politely dismissed by the Wang family, was already in a state of despair. When he heard this, he stood still and replied in frustration (for the third time): "
Have you ever heard of the Last Supper?"
“What was for the last supper?”
He Xinyan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't even bother to talk to this sentimental guy. He just sneered coldly: "You will never know."
Then he buried his head and continued to move forward.
"ah--"
Zhang Zhiheng, who always presented himself as a wretched man with a secret love, was filled with jealousy and was finally angered by his sarcasm. He threw away his umbrella and rushed towards him.
"What? What do you want to do?"
He Xin was caught off guard and was pushed and staggered, and the oil-paper umbrella in his hand also dropped. He was originally feeling extremely frustrated and depressed, but he also needed to vent at this moment. So, the two of them struggled in the rain.
"If you were going to give her the letter, how could things be like this!"
"Let me go... I'm telling you, the letter has been thrown into the trash can. Stop dreaming, you foolish fool!"
"You lied to me and cursed me!"
At the same time, the two of them were still blaming each other.
Both of them are students with excellent academic performance. In fact, neither of them knows how to fight. They only use ugly tortoise boxing postures, and then they hug each other and wrestle together.
"She's out."
Suddenly He Xin stared at the side and shouted suddenly.
At this time in the plot, Wang Biyun ran out with Chen Qiushui, played by He Xin, and unexpectedly saw this scene. During the actual filming, there was nothing nearby. After all, the Wang family compound was still far away on Gulangyu Island.
The two stopped moving at the same time and turned around subconsciously. He Xin quickly hugged Zhang Zhiheng's neck and left in a hurry. The two men who deeply loved Wang Biyun did not want to make a fool of themselves in front of their goddess and make her sad.
"Card!"
This is a complete shot, and director Yin Li did not stop until all the actors had finished performing.
But he was still dissatisfied with Zhang Zhiheng's performance. He frowned and said, "Zhiheng, you still can't let go. You have to be bolder."
"I'm sorry, director." Zhang Zhiheng quickly raised his hands in fear and apologized.
He Xin also felt that during the filming just now, Zhang Zhiheng was probably afraid of hurting himself and was always holding back. So he walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Zhiheng, it's okay, come on boldly."
As he said that, he deliberately shook off the wet clothes on his body and said with a smile: "I have to fight for the next one. I don't want to be drenched like a drowned rat again."
Zhang Zhiheng knew that He Xin was encouraging him, and he immediately expressed gratitude and said, "Hey, I understand, Brother Xin."
The crew rented several rooms next to the old street for makeup, costumes, rest and storage. After saying a few words, the two people, surrounded by staff, quickly went inside to dry off, change clothes, and reapply their makeup.
Although the winter here in Zhangzhou is very warm, the temperature of around ten degrees at night, coupled with being showered with cold water for a long time, still makes people shiver.
Fortunately, the crew's logistics work was in place. Not only was there a heater in the room, but there was also tea and ginger tea to ward off the cold. I changed my clothes, touched up my makeup, and made some adjustments before continuing to the second step.
…
"Hiss——"
After He Xin took a shower, he looked in the mirror and carefully applied a layer of green ointment on the injured and swollen area on his chin. This was given to him by director assistant Li Yangsai. It is said that this guy brought it with him when he traveled to Thailand in the first half of the year.
The herbs returned have miraculous effects on mosquito bites and muscle redness and swelling.
He Xin was a little unsure, but after applying it, he felt a cooling sensation and the pain was relieved a lot.
Compared with Hong Kong and Taiwan stars such as Xu Ruoxuan, Zhang Zhiheng and Yang Guimei, who still live in five-star hotels in Xiamen, he didn't think it was troublesome to run around, so he just squeezed in with the crew in a non-star hotel near Zhangzhou Old Street.
inside.
In fact, he is not too particular about his accommodation, as long as it is clean.
Today's fight scene in the rain ended up with four takes. Look at Yin Li's intentions. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have any costumes to change, he would definitely have to do two more takes.
Tomorrow, there will be a scene opposite Zhang Zhiheng in Zhangzhou Old Street. The two had a fight and explained, and it was a bit like they were in the same boat.
It is said that there is no acquaintance without fighting, and then two love rivals turn enemies into friends. These plots are common routines in movies and TV dramas.
Maybe it was because he was still very excited after filming the fight scene, so he couldn't sleep for a while. He lay on the bed, picked up the printed manuscript of the novel "A Tale of Two Donkeys" on the bedside table, and opened it.
Preconceived impressions are very important. For example, there is an online novel "I am an Actor". It is actually very exciting and the author is very careful. Maybe the character design is not very likable at first, and the protagonist is not suitable for Shuangwen.
Such a routine that some trainee readers made various negative comments, causing many readers to be led astray after reading the comments. They did not read the novel, and their first impressions were skewed, making the book's performance not very good.
The same was true for He Xin. He didn't pay attention to this novella "Two Donkeys" that he had never heard of from the beginning. But this time when he came out, his girlfriend helped pack his luggage.
She put the typescript of "The Story of Two Donkeys" together with the scripts of "Latent" and "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters".
Because the adaptation of "Insidious" is very difficult, he hasn't had time to sort out the character structure and plot framework of the original "Insidious" for a while, so he will put it aside for now.
At the same time, with the idea of hypnosis, he flipped through "A Tale of Two Donkeys", and actually got into it as soon as he read it. Just like "I Am an Actor", it is recommended that new readers not read the comments, as the first impression is often very
It's deceptive, but you should read the genuine novel. You will definitely find surprises just like He Xin did at this time.
He has read "Two Donkeys" three times. He remembers that the first time he read it in one breath, it made his hair stand on end. He couldn't sleep at all that night, and as a result, he rarely felt energetic when filming the next day.
Depression and frequent NG.
This is a story about an educated youth and two donkeys, the story of the protagonist Ma Jie and the two donkeys Hei Liu and Hei Qi.
To describe it in a more literate way, it is a novel with a realistic fantasy theme. It uses the nature of a donkey to describe human nature, and through a legendary struggle process between man and donkey, it cleverly unearths the story of a specific era.
The distortion and distortion of the human world have created an image of an educated youth with human depth and the characteristics of a donkey full of humanity.
The reason why it is said to be creepy is because the two donkeys in the book are elves and devils. Not only can they understand people's words, but they can also judge the situation and weigh the pros and cons, and even take revenge.
Because Ma Jie whipped Hei Liu, Hei Liu could no longer mate, and subsequently lost its special rights as a breeding donkey. When this donkey named Hei Liu was being ridden by people on its back, it actually
Thinking it was a great shame and humiliation, he broke one of the village director's legs in revenge.
When he first saw this, He Xin's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Hei Liu knew he was doomed and actually chose to commit suicide.
Is this a donkey?
Hei Liu attempted suicide and could not escape the fate of being slaughtered. But when Ma Jie raised the knife to it, it actually smiled, its face wrinkled, and some fine crow's feet appeared at the corners of its eyes. When the donkey's head fell to the ground, it still smiled.
This looks like a provocation and a sneer...
The story should have ended here, but I never expected that the donkey named Hei Qi saw all this. What was even more terrifying was that it happened like this.
Hei Qi chose revenge for his brother's death. He first deliberately chewed off the pillars of the stable and started a fire, which almost burned Ma Jie to death. Later, he deliberately dumped the ash cart into the well and blamed Ma Jie. At this time,
Ma Jie then saw that this donkey could also laugh, the same smile as Hei Liu.
In retaliation for Ma Jie's whipping and burning of Hei Qi's mouth, Hei Qi killed him several times. He almost killed Ma Jie after his car rolled over several times. Just before he was about to be slaughtered, the donkey named Hei Qi...
He was actually covered in oil, jumped over the fire, lit it, and wanted to die with Ma Jie...
In the end, he was burned to ashes and still stood in the snow...
The reason for all this is because Ma Jie killed his brother in front of Hei Qi.
Is this still a donkey?
When someone is said to be stupid, they often say: You stupid donkey! The donkey has always been synonymous with stupidity, but in the book, it has become an elf and a devil, showing the evil side of human nature.
To be honest, He Xin fell in love with this novel after reading it for the first time.
He is no stranger to the group of educated youth. In addition to Yuan Hexin's father being an educated youth, the films he has acted in "The Little Tailor" and "Beauty Grass" are also about educated youth, and the screenwriters of these two movies
Without exception, both the director and the director are from educated youth backgrounds. This makes him very comfortable in playing the role of an educated youth.
But more importantly, this kind of realistic fantasy-style subject matter is really rare. To describe it in a word that enhances the quality, it is as pirated copies are all over the street now. The winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature is known as world literature.
The works of the master Marquez are all of the same style.
No wonder Xiao Douding was so enthusiastic and even immediately obtained the film and television copyright of this novel. Here He Xin had to give a thumbs up to Xiao Douding.
Later, he had a phone call with Xiao Douding to learn more about the adaptation of "A Tale of Two Donkeys".
But the news she received was quite disappointing. It turned out that she originally wanted to hire Sister Na as the screenwriter. Although Sister Na also liked the novel, the objective situation was that she was pregnant with Liujia, and the due date was less than a month, and even if she gave birth,
Now, I still have to be in confinement and breastfeeding, and I don’t know how long it will take for me to have some free time in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
Later, she wanted to find Yue Xiaojun, but Xiaojun was still filming "Stone" at the moment, and He Xin did not believe that Yue Xiaojun could handle this kind of subject as a screenwriter.
Just like "The Little Tailor" and "Beauty Grass", the screenwriter must have the life of an educated youth.
At the beginning, he wanted to invite the original author of the novel to be the screenwriter. After all, the original author was once an educated youth, and the author had personal experience of the era and geographical background described in the novel.
But he didn't expect that this little-known professional writer from the Tianjin Writers Association had quite a personality and actually declined politely. He replied for two reasons: First, novels and movies are like two women to him.
If he truly falls deeply in love with one person, he will naturally reject the other. He is not a pan-love person.
Secondly, when he hit the last full stop at the end of this novel, all he had to say about this work was finished. He thought that in terms of his own skills and abilities, it was already perfect. If he were allowed to use other
After telling the story again, he admitted that there was nothing he could do.
Hearing this reply, He Xin could not help but be in awe of the writer named Wang Song, because his refusal was tantamount to voluntarily giving up a large part of his financial interests.
This just shows that he has true love for this work. At the same time, He Xin also understood that Wang Song was telling them tactfully that he hoped to adapt this work well.
