Chapter 487 Maybe he is the best candidate for Xu Wenqiang
"How about it?"
Cheng Hao, who had already done her hair and was wearing a long-sleeved printed cheongsam, turned around in front of her boyfriend and asked.
My girlfriend’s current weight has historically exceeded 100 pounds, but not to mention that a woman wearing a cheongsam needs to be a little plumper and look curvy to have the aura of a Shanghainese social butterfly.
"Not bad, really good!" He Xin couldn't help but nodded.
This was the first time he saw his girlfriend standing in front of him wearing a cheongsam, with a retro hairstyle and two round pearl earrings. Apart from the fact that the calves wrapped in thick stockings looked a little thicker, it felt really good.
.
Cheng Hao looked at the mirror with a look on his face, touched the silk fabrics on his body, and said with some regret: "It's such a pity, these clothes can only be worn in the play."
The costume designer on the side quickly flattered him and said: "It's okay. It will be no problem at all if I ask the master to change it when the time comes."
Cheng Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "Can it be changed?"
"Of course, it's that time-honored cheongsam shop on Huaihai Road. Our cheongsams are all custom-made there. I'm familiar with the old masters in the shop. I'll take you there to have a look next time?"
"That's great, thank you!"
"It's okay, look what you said, it's a trivial matter..."
The two women chatted lively.
The clothing room was air-conditioned and the warm breeze was blowing. He Xinlai didn't want to leave here, but looking at the time, it was almost dinner time.
It will take a while for the girlfriend to try on the costumes and make-up. Outside at the Shikumen shooting site, the crew is still doing preparations before shooting, and the assistant director is directing a few extras to rehearse.
In fact, Chedun Film and Television City is far less complete and rich in supporting facilities than Hengdian. Especially during the Chinese New Year, even extras are hard to find.
It seems that the filming will be postponed until at least the afternoon. He Xin is wondering what to do for lunch. Should he use the crew's lunch box? He seems a little reluctant to celebrate the New Year.
At this time, the phone rang, and the number on the caller ID turned out to be Shayi's.
"Hey, Axin, where are you?"
"I'm still in the movie studio."
"It just so happens that Brother Haibo and I are at a farm restaurant outside the film and television city. Let's go out for a drink together?"
"You haven't left yet?"
As soon as the power-on ceremony was over, He Xin saw no sign of these two guys and thought they had left long ago.
"No, it's okay to go back to the hotel anyway. I'll go out with Brother Haibo to investigate. There are many restaurants on the film and television road outside that are closed, but only one is still open. It's not far from the intersection. Come here quickly."
Sha Yi yelled on the phone.
"Okay, then I'll be right over."
After hanging up the phone, He Xin walked over to his girlfriend. Before he could speak, his girlfriend glanced at the dressmaker who was arranging clothes and said in a low voice: "What, is your good sister going to treat you to dinner?"
"How could that be possible? Didn't I tell you just now? He has gone back a long time ago. It's Sha Yi. He and Huang Haibo found a farmhouse restaurant outside and asked me to come over for dinner." He Xin said hurriedly, and then tried to please him.
Said: "Hey, what do you want to eat? I will bring you some back later."
When Cheng Hao heard that it was not Sun Li, his face brightened a little, and he shook his head and said, "No need to bring it, I can't eat it. Xiaoqing still has a lot of food there, just go back and put it down."
"Okay, when we finish work, I'll make you something delicious when you get home."
He Xin bundled up in his down jacket and walked out. Chedun Film and Television City is not scattered like Hengdian. It is an independent area and the area is not large. When he walked out of the gate and turned a corner, he saw a restaurant called Cai Genxiang at the intersection.
The farmhouse restaurant is open.
During the Chinese New Year, there were no customers in the store. The boss obviously recognized him and enthusiastically took him to a private room by the window along the street.
The air conditioner inside was warm, and Sha Yi and Huang Haibo were already sitting inside.
"Axin, come on, come on!"
As soon as he saw He Xin come in, Sha Yi quickly greeted him.
Huang Haibo quickly stood up and politely shouted: "Teacher He!"
"Don't worry, Brother Haibo, just call me by my name."
"Yes, yes, we meet each other once, and we become friends once we know each other. Brother Haibo, don't be restrained. Ah Xin doesn't have the airs of a big star, he is a very nice person!"
Sha Yi, who was naturally familiar with it, was obviously very familiar with Huang Haibo and quickly followed the lively atmosphere.
This local restaurant is very unique, including white-chopped chicken, braised fish, brine shrimp, shredded eel, and braised wild rice, especially the large intestine pot, which is fat but not greasy, fragrant and delicious, and paired with the home-brewed warm rice wine.
The three of us had a great time eating this meal, and our relationship quickly became closer.
When they came out after the meal, Huang Haibo, who was still very restrained before, said "Ah Xin" to He Xin who was carrying a packing box.
The two male leads, the second male lead and the fourth male lead, did not have their scenes today. In their words, it would be fine to go back to the hotel. It would be better to stay on the set to learn and observe, and at the same time leave a good impression on the director.
Especially Huang Haibo, although he previously played the role of the eldest son Shi Lin in the hit drama "The Burning Years of Passion", and also succeeded Xu Guangtou in "The Lucky Star Shines on Zhu Bajie". Zhu Bajie has already begun to rise to prominence, but he was able to accept the role of Ding Li.
The character, in his words, was like a piece of pie in the sky, it hit him on the head, and he was completely blinded.
He also vowed: "Since Director Gao thinks so highly of me, I can't let him down. I must play the role of Ding Li well!"
When He Xin heard this sentence, He Xin even gave him a toast. Of course it is a good thing for an actor to have this kind of attitude, and he has never doubted Huang Haibo's acting skills. If you think about it carefully, those who graduated from the Nortel Acting Department
Among the stars, Huang Haibo's acting skills can be considered outstanding.
But it’s one thing to have a high spirit. Remember to use too much force. Just like Duan’s performance in Wang Xiaoshuai’s movie “Second Brother”, he obviously used too much force. Also, in his memory, Zhang Yi’s performance in “Soldier Assault”
The squad leader Shi played also had the same problem.
It is said that after Zhang Yi finished filming "Stone", he rushed to the southwest non-stop to film "Soldier Assault" directed by Kang Honglei.
Director Kang Honglei can be regarded as his benefactor, and he has greeted him a long time ago. When He Xin heard about it, he wanted to invest in it. After all, this is another phenomenal TV series. Unfortunately, the producer is famous
The Huayi Brothers are not short of money at all.
Back at the film and television city, Cheng Hao and Huang Xiaoming were already at the scene pre-shooting.
My girlfriend was okay, she wore a black fur coat with a waisted waist over her cheongsam. Brother Xiao Ming was miserable, he just stood there shivering in a wrinkled stand-up collared student uniform.
However, with his messy short hair, shading powder, and unshaven look, he does look a lot like Takeda-san in "The Wind".
It might have been a test shoot just now, but when Gao Xixi shouted to stop, two assistants, a man and a woman, rushed forward. One held a down coat and hurriedly helped Xiao Ming put it on, while the other offered one and unscrewed the cover, steaming.
The thermos cup is probably for hot coffee or something.
I have to say that our Xiao Ming brother’s pomp these days is very eye-catching. But compared to the young freshmen of later generations, it is still pale in comparison. At least at the scene, except for Xiao Ming’s two assistants and personal stylist, there is no one
See all kinds of "substitutes".
"How much did you drink at noon? It stinks!"
Cheng Hao walked up to her boyfriend and smelled a strong smell of alcohol. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose and said with a look of disgust.
"I didn't drink much, just the rice wine brewed by the farmer, which has a very low alcohol content." He Xin said with a smile, shaking the packing box he was carrying as if he was offering a treasure, and said: "The sausages from that place are particularly delicious.
I specially packed some semi-finished products and will cook them for you to eat tonight!"
Cheng Hao liked this one mouthful and couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and hummed: "You have a conscience!"
"Hey, is the queue almost done?"
"Well, I just did a trial shot, and it was... okay." Cheng Hao frowned slightly as he thought of the scene he had just played with Brother Xiao Ming.
It was her first time working with Brother Xiao Ming. She originally thought that the other party was from Nortel, had performed well in "The Emperor", and had also joined the drama "The Banquet" directed by Feng Xiaogang. As a new A-list actor, at least he would not be good at acting.
It's too outrageous. But when they just joined hands, she felt very awkward. She felt that the two of them were not on the same channel at all. Because it was just a test shoot, and even the director didn't say anything, she naturally couldn't say much. Maybe the other person didn't know what to say at all.
I didn't show my true level, but I felt a little uneasy.
He Xin didn't notice anything strange about his girlfriend, and kept nagging: "Hey, what else do you want to eat at night? I've asked about it. The vegetable market here is very close. I'll go buy some food soon. It will save money.
…”
"Ah, it's whatever. Don't bother me, I'm still working on my emotions!" Cheng Hao said irritably.
Well, He Xin mainly drank some wine and got a little excited. Actors are always very emotional when filming. He expressed his understanding, immediately shut his mouth, and left dejectedly, following Sha Yi and Huang Hai.
Bo leaned against the wall together, preparing to study and observe carefully for a while.
"Okay, all departments are ready to take real shots."
Soon I saw the assistant director shouting loudly with a loudspeaker.
A stylish retro car with brown and light yellow splicing drove over the scene. Cheng Hao took a deep breath and got into the car when everything was ready. This was the special car of Fang Yanyun, the number one socialite in Shanghai played by her.
Brother Xiao Ming was carrying a worn-out suitcase and sat at the door of a Shikumen house opposite. The sun was good at the moment, and he was sitting lazily across the door, much like a tramp lazily basking in the sun.
“Photography in place!”
"The reception is fine!"
"The extras are ready!"
"A!"
The extras began to walk through the street, basically walking from one end to the other, and then quickly took off their outer clothes, revealing another costume they had already worn underneath, or put on another style of clothes and wore it.
Put on a hat and walk back along the same path.
There is no way, there is a shortage of extras, so we have to do this.
Fortunately, in this shot, the people walking on the street are just the background, and it is not easy to distinguish. The camera first focuses on Brother Xiao Ming, who is sitting in front of someone's house like a homeless man.
He was seen sitting there with his eyes closed, dozing off, and his frowning face made him look worried.
With a "crunch", the car stopped at the intersection. Cheng Hao opened the door and got out of the car.
The sound of the car alarmed Brother Xiao Ming, who was sitting not far away and taking a nap. The weather was too cold. Even though it was under the sun, he was shivering from the cold as he sat there. He opened his eyes in a daze, and when he turned his head, he saw
It was a good time walking out of the car.
At the same time, Cheng Hao, who had just closed the car door, also saw the haggard and desolate Xiao Ming, and subconsciously stopped.
The difference between the new version of "Shanghai Beach" and the old version is that Fang Yanyun, played by Cheng Hao, is Xu Wenqiang's childhood sweetheart, which can increase the conflicts in the plot.
The graceful Cheng Hao was surprised when she saw Brother Xiao Ming. She even tilted her head and looked at him carefully, for fear of admitting her mistake.
The two eyes met and finally recognized each other.
Brother Xiao Ming stood up tremblingly, maybe because he had been sitting for too long, one of his legs was a little numb. He staggered, then limped slowly towards Cheng Hao.
When He Xin saw this scene while leaning against the wall, He Xin was quite surprised and secretly gave Brother Xiao Ming a thumbs up. The design of this action was undoubtedly very vivid.
The performance of his girlfriend also surprised him. Cheng Hao stood there, watching Brother Xiao Ming walking towards her step by step. She trembled her lips and couldn't restrain the excitement in her heart. She grinned and wanted to smile.
But the eyes became moist and the tears were glistening.
The key is that when tears overflow her eyes, she can still control them from falling. This kind of scene is just right for tears to fall, but if tears fall, it would be a bit too much.
At the same time, Gao Xixi, who was sitting in front of the monitor screen, couldn't help but give a slight "tsk" when he saw this affectionate picture of tears and laughter, and praised Cheng Hao.
But then he frowned, because the other half of the picture was calm and calm. Facing the affectionate gaze of his former lover, he had a demeanor that was overwhelming but his expression remained unchanged. It was seen that he was always slightly smiling.
He frowned, looking cool, but his eyes were blank.
Gao Xixi originally didn't want to interrupt Cheng Hao's wonderful performance, because he knew that an actor's performance is sometimes like a soldier fighting in a war. It needs to be vigorous and vigorous. If it is interrupted, it will often fail again and again, and it will be exhausted every time.
However, the picture on the left is full of emotions and very full; while the picture on the right is dull and dry, without any excitement, and the whole picture becomes extremely unbalanced and asymmetrical.
"stop!"
Gao Xixi sighed secretly, but shouted to stop, and then shouted to Huang Xiaoming: "Xiao Ming, be more emotional."
Brother Xiao Ming had a very good attitude and quickly raised his hand and said: "I'm sorry, director!"
Then he nodded towards Cheng Hao and said naughtily in his hometown dialect: "We can't catch them all!"
Cheng Hao, who was in a depressed mood, had no interest in his hometown dialect, so he just forced a smile and said: "It doesn't matter!"
"Okay, everyone, pay attention, let's try again!"
"A!"
There are no lines in this scene, and all the actors' silent performances are used to express the excitement of the former lovers reunited after a long separation.
Cheng Hao's second performance was still full of emotion. She looked at the other party with rapture, but couldn't get any feedback from the other party. She even felt like she was performing in front of a piece of wood.
"Stop! Xiao Ming, it's still the same problem."
"I'm sorry, director."
"Start again."
"A!"
"stop!"
Three consecutive words failed to satisfy Gao Xixi, so he had to wave his hand and said: "Take a break for ten minutes and adjust."
At this time, Xiao Ming's face also became solemn. He knew that it was his problem and he knew exactly where the problem was, but what should I say? Maybe it was because he was not fully prepared or the emotions were not in place, so he just couldn't perform it.
The three guys who were leaning against the wall with a learning attitude were looking at me and you, with their eyes filled with confusion. Everyone was from a major and they all knew that, strictly speaking, this shot was not difficult.
Ah! Why is the famous Xiao Ming so miserable?
The only explanation may be that this is the first shot when the camera is turned on, and Xiao Ming may not be in the mood yet.
He Xin's impression of Brother Xiao Ming is actually quite good. In the memory of later generations, apart from being 1.8 meters tall, being too cunning, greasy, and Mingxue, in fact, Brother Xiao Ming's performance in "The Wind" and "Chinese Partners"
The performance is still remarkable. At least it is much better than those sissy and faceless little fresh meat.
Maybe I didn't perform well today, but it's a pity that my girlfriend's performance was full of tension.
He sighed secretly and gave a thumbs up to his girlfriend, who was walking back with a depressed look, as a sign of encouragement.
Gao Xixi was also depressed. He watched the replay carefully. The contrast between the two people's performances was too great. If one could score eighty points, the other might not even score fifty points.
He chose the actor. He originally chose Huang Xiaoming because of his popularity and his good performance in "The Young Emperor", just like when he selected Deng Chao to star in "Happiness is Like a Flower", both of them became famous for playing the role of the Young Emperor.
handsome young boy.
Deng Chao gave him a great surprise. He also hoped that Huang Xiaoming and Sun Li could have a spark. However, the scene he had shot three times just now made his hope greatly diminished in an instant.
He took off his headphones and lit a cigarette with some annoyance. When he looked up, he saw the three guys leaning against the wall. He Xin was the tallest and the most conspicuous. He was holding a plastic bag in one hand.
The other hand was pointing at the packing box, talking to Huang Haibo and Sha Yi.
At this time, he didn't look like a big star like Xiao Ming. On the contrary, he was very down-to-earth. He always had a faint smile on his face, and his whole person looked particularly relaxed.
Gao Xixi even had the illusion that the tall and thin young man looked particularly like Fa Ge. Maybe it was because he had watched the old version of "Shanghai Bund" too many times. In that TV series known as the classic, Fa Ge
The performance makes people feel very relaxed, very natural, and effortless.
Maybe he is the best candidate for Xu Wenqiang!
Gao Xixi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head mockingly to dispel the unrealistic idea that suddenly popped up in his mind.
