Chapter 589: The actor's performance cannot be separated from life
"Hey, hey, hey, I can do it!" Cheng Hao's eyes widened.
Cai Hongnu was also unambiguous. She smashed her pole, which had been patinated on the surface after being used for several years, on the ground and said loudly, "Stop talking nonsense. Come on, I'll lend you the pole to try for a long time!"
"
"Card, okay, passed!"
Wang Xiaoshuai shouted refreshed.
He was very satisfied with the completion of this shot. Originally, he had arranged such a shot in the morning as planned, but the shooting went smoothly and it was still early. He simply discussed with Cheng Hao and said: "Xiao Cheng, please work hard. Let's try to get the next shot in the morning."
The camera was also taken.”
"Okay, no problem." Cheng Hao also felt that he performed well and said with confidence.
The next shot was in an alley next to it, and the staff were busy carrying machines to move to the scene. Cai Hongnu also hurried over to help. She was used to making a carrying pole and was very strong, so she could be a strong laborer on the scene.
Although Cai Hongnu felt that the money was too hard to get, she volunteered to help with the work. But Cheng Hao couldn't stand it. After all, Sister Cai was considered hers, and she seemed to be losing face just by being ordered by others.
It happened that Niu Le, the executive director at the scene, asked Cai Hongnv to move the two large boxes containing equipment on the ground. Cheng Hao couldn't help but said: "Brother Niu, if you don't bring such a bully, you have so many great young men!"
Most of the staff at the scene are old members of Wang Xiaoshuai and Niu Le, and some have become veterans. Since there are people who are actively helping, they have long since sneaked away to take some time off.
Niu Le has been following Wang Xiaoshuai and Guan Jinpeng for some years, and originally thought that he could almost stand alone. In the past two years, he found the opportunity to direct two films on his own.
As a result, in addition to cheating investors, I gained almost nothing. I signed up to participate in foreign film festivals, but no one accepted it. It was not even screened in China, and in the end I had to sell it to a movie channel through connections.
What do you say about his movies?
According to He Xin's experience after watching it, there are no technical problems at all, and the storyline is smooth, but it makes people feel too bland and easy to get sleepy. To put it bluntly, his movies are more like products on an assembly line, without any
Soul, lack of resonance with the audience.
When he failed to start his own business, he not only robbed investors of their money, but also invested his own savings. After going round and round, he finally had to return to Wang Xiaoshuai as an executive director.
He has good skills but not enough creativity. This guy is very competent as an executive director. Moreover, he has worked with Wang Xiaoshuai for so many years, and the two of them work together very well. As long as director Xiaoshuai controls the overall situation, he doesn't have to worry about the technical details at all.
Before Niu Le could say anything, Cai Hongnv smiled and said, "Nothing will happen! Nothing will happen!"
As he spoke, the hemp rope with quick hands and feet tied up the boxes. The shoulder pole, which was ground into pulp, was inserted into the knotted rope. The two boxes weighing fifty or sixty kilograms were easily picked up and headed towards the two sides.
The man smiled, walked steadily, and walked toward the alley more than 200 meters away while carrying the pole.
Looking at her back carrying the pole, Niu Le couldn't help but raise his thumb and praise: "What a capable person! One person can carry the weight of four people."
He was indeed right. Normally, two workers would carry one big box, and four people would carry two boxes. Now Sister Cai can handle it all by herself.
But when this guy saw Cheng Hao's black face, he quickly pretended to be helpless and said, "You heard it just now. I really didn't mean to instigate her, but she asked for it. I'll make up for her later."
Do you think a factory worker’s salary is okay?”
"Didn't you just say that Sister Cai can support four people by herself? Is one factory worker's salary enough?" Cheng Hao snorted.
"If one portion doesn't work, just have two portions. You are the boss lady anyway, so you have the final say." Niu Le said with a smile.
"Okay, stop making noise. Are the actors in place?"
At this time, Wang Xiaoshuai walked out of the small house next to him.
"We're here." Niu Le said hurriedly.
Like many literary films, "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" has a very simple cast structure. In addition to the main actors, many supporting characters are based on local materials.
For example, I played the role of the proprietress who took care of Cheng Hao's business. She was a clothing proprietress I found in the wholesale market. It is said that this proprietress was once a member of the art team of a local state-owned factory in Wuhan. The wave of layoffs was huge and no one could do anything about it.
Fortunately, he found his own way and became an entrepreneur.
The proprietress was very excited and cherished the opportunity to perform this time. The performance was originally scheduled for the afternoon, but she rushed over from the store next door as soon as she received the call.
"Xiao Cheng, you will check the lyrics with the actor later." Before leaving, Wang Xiaoshuai said a word of caution to Cheng Hao, who was applying make-up at the moment.
"I understand, director."
Others should pay attention to good-looking makeup, but Cheng Hao's makeup at this time is to be ugly. Because of the needs of the role, Li Baoli needs to be a little richer in the early stage, and Cheng Hao has to gain some weight. If he takes off the makeup now, his face will definitely be red and glowing.
Very good. But Li Baoli’s condition requires her to have a dull complexion on her rosy, flawless face. She also specially ordered a few things like chloasma, just to make her look as dark as possible on a yellow-faced woman.
in the direction of .
She now has her own makeup artist, who is very quick with her makeup application. After that, she took a mirror to take a picture of her. If there was no problem, she was ready to leave for the shooting location more than 200 meters away.
At this time, Cai Hongnv ran back panting again, rushing to help Chu Qing and the makeup artist get things.
Not to mention, Cheng Hao still lacks an assistant. She usually has a lot of things, and even she has to do it herself. Once Cai Hongnu took action, the rest of the people were much more relaxed.
Cheng Hao didn't talk to her. He couldn't stop her even if he tried several times. Many times the people at the bottom are so simple. Cheng Hao really felt that his experience of life this time was like receiving an education, or getting to know the society again.
. She was even a little scared. She was afraid that if she had not had this experience, she might be out of touch with society. Once an actor has no life and only relies on imagination to act, then it is really a terrible thing.
"Hey, Sister Cai, I just won two wages for you as a factory worker." She took Cai Hongnu's arm and couldn't wait to tell her the good news.
"Two wages as a field worker?"
When Cai Hongnv heard this, she immediately stopped and shook her head at Cheng Haozhi and said, "Sister, it's really not necessary! I felt so embarrassed just holding the 30,000 yuan salary. Sister, I know you are helping me.
But it’s really not necessary. I’m free as long as I’m free, and there’s no heavy work here, it’s just helping others.”
After working on the set for so long, she knew that the wages of the workers here were quite high, and she even secretly envied her. This kind of work was simply too easy for someone like her who carried a pole. But now she heard that Cheng
Hao actually helped her get two wages as a field worker, and she immediately became uneasy. Even if she worked for just one month, the two wages would be enough for her to carry a shoulder pole for several months. But she just felt that she deserved it, and even
There was a feeling of being pitied and given alms, and she didn't like this feeling.
Cheng Hao put his arms around her neck and said in her ear: "You are stupid, you deserve that 30,000 yuan salary. And you are acting so well now, 30,000 yuan is still a small amount! Do you know
You know, if you hire a professional actor to play your role, the salary may be more than two or three times higher, and the performance may not be better than yours!"
"real?"
"of course!"
As he spoke, Cheng Hao imitated Sister Cai's expression in the play just now, looked around, and lowered his voice and said, "Do you know how much I was paid for acting in this play?"
"Well, you are a big star, it's different!" Although Cai Hongnu was very curious, she quickly changed her words when the words came to her lips.
Cheng Hao stretched out a finger and gestured towards her.
"Ten...one million?" Cai Hongnu's eyes suddenly widened.
"Let me tell you, this is my price for lowering the salary. This is a literary and artistic film. If it is a commercial film, at least it has to be turned over. So, as long as you act well, you can feel at ease with the 30,000 yuan salary.
Don’t be embarrassed and panic. Besides, you’ve helped out with so much work on the crew, and you can’t let it go to waste. We can’t let them bully honest people!”
Cai Hongnv was stunned for a while, and then said for a long time: "But I heard that you... the man in your house is the big boss. You are like this... uh, that's not good!"
She didn't have the nerve to say that Cheng Hao was a prodigal woman, but that was probably what she meant in her hesitant words.
Cheng Hao felt a little hot on her face, but fortunately the makeup on her face helped to cover it up a little. She shook Cai Hongnv's arm and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Oh, Sister Cai, don't keep talking like this."
It sounds awful to someone who is a man in your house. Besides, we are not married yet."
"But I heard a lot of people calling you boss lady behind your back!"
"..."
Cheng Hao walked in front with Cai Hongnv in his arms. Chu Qing and the makeup artist who followed behind heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but look at each other and couldn't help but snicker.
When they turned into an alley, a commercial vehicle turned from Longyang Avenue into Zhiyin Road and stopped at the entrance of the market where they had just finished shooting.
He Xin got out of the car. There were still many staff working here, including Wang Xiaoshuai's monitors, which had not been moved yet.
The staff first saw Lu Xiao getting out of the car. For many workers, this was the boss of the crew, so they quickly shouted: "Brother Lu!"
Then I saw clearly that Brother Lu, who was usually very serious, was smiling all over his face, nodding and bending down to accompany him carefully. He was stunned and shouted quickly: "Boss!"
There were also some elderly people who had worked with He Xin several times, and they might have figured out this person's temper. They came up to him with a smile and shouted: "Teacher He!"
Seeing these familiar faces, He Xin smiled, nodded to them, and asked, "Where's the director?"
"Oh, the filming here has just been completed, and the director and his crew are filming in the alley over there."
An old man from the crew pointed to the east and said hurriedly and attentively: "Teacher He, how about I take you there?"
