He Xin's hair had been shaved off at this time, and he was wearing a half-moon-shaped hood and a white gown. Since the first day he came back from the mountain meadow, he had taken the initiative to let the makeup artist of the crew shave his head.
Change into the costume in the play to find the feeling of the character.
There is nothing to say about the scenery here. The only thing is that the weather is not up to par. It is gloomy every morning, and it rains without any warning. The shooting is stopped and the progress is very slow.
In the alpine meadows, there is no mobile phone signal at all. Teacher Yu’s assistant holds a satellite phone and keeps in touch with the local meteorological department, which can roughly predict weather changes.
It is said that today will be a rare good weather. The crew set out from the hotel before 7 o'clock in the morning. They are now nervously arranging the preparations for shooting, and then waiting for the sun to show up to start shooting.
In addition to the unfavorable weather, the crew seemed to have suffered many disasters. On He Xin's first day on the set, when they were filming the scene where a bear chases the boy Ajiu and his brother Ajiu in the forest, the two young actors had to run in the forest.
, and then climbed up the tree, followed by a bear chasing him.
That black bear was rented from the circus. It was supposed to be clawing at tree roots and roaring. Perhaps because there were so many people at the scene, coupled with lights, cameras, etc., it suddenly became ferocious, and it roared and turned around.
Turn around and rush towards the camera.
Li Yaohui was so frightened that he threw the machine and ran away, but even fell down. Fortunately, the animal trainer took control in time, so there were no casualties. After a lot of effort, the scene was filmed.
Because He Xin was enjoying riding horses in the meadow, he did not go to the scene to observe and missed the accident. Later, he heard from Li Yaohui that it was very thrilling, and everyone ran away in fear. But surprisingly, Teacher Yu was very calm and did not run away.
, and also commanded the animal trainer to quickly control the black bear, which made these big men ashamed.
"Teacher Yao, are you okay?"
He came to the meadow early in the morning and ran the horse twice as usual to warm up. When he returned to the temporary stable, he saw Yao Lu brushing his chestnut horse.
Yao Lu just joined the group two days ago. He was fine in the county town, but not as soon as he went up the mountain. In order to adapt to the situation as soon as possible, he insisted on staying on the mountain while taking oxygen, and even set up a camp bed in the wooden house.
, I couldn’t hold on any longer, so I lay down on the camp bed for a while.
"I feel much better today. I guess I have adapted to it. Oh, Teacher He, if you are free later, let's rehearse first?" Yao Lu said politely.
Speaking of which, it is difficult for everyone to call He Xin. He is younger than everyone else in terms of age, but his achievements are there, and he is the boss of a film and television company. It is really inappropriate to call him Xiao He or A Xin.
, then it can only be Teacher He who calls it this way.
"No problem, we will join hands in a while." He Xin said with a smile.
He has started filming in the past two days. There are no lines or scenes with rivals, just some horse riding scenes. Maybe he was observing Teacher Yu at the same time, and Teacher Yu was also observing him.
Because it was rare for the sun to show up today, the shooting schedule was very tight, and the scenes were very fragmented. For example, He Xin and Yao Lu had just finished filming a horse racing scene, and then they had the brothers competing in marksmanship.
"Is this thing reliable?"
He Xin made some gestures with what was called a gun. It looked very simple, just a wooden handle with a barrel on top.
"Just listen to it. Teacher He, don't worry, it's absolutely safe." The pyrotechnics master said with a smile.
He Xin and Yao Lu had both changed into short coats, and each had been waiting for a long time with a gun. Although the sun was out, it was still cold on the mountain, and the goosebumps on the skin were visible to the naked eye.
, but Teacher Yu is busy working on it, but the filming has not started yet.
I have to say that Teacher Yu really has little experience, or he has a natural distrust of the team he works with. Whether it is the scenery, props, lighting, etc., he has to see it himself before he feels at ease.
It was the same now. She was seen wearing a khaki jacket, a peaked cap of the same style, and a scarf. She was gesticulating among a group of old men. Her movements were very gentle, as if she was doing Tai Chi.
After finishing it, I exchanged a few words with photographer Li Yaohui, then sat down in front of the monitor, picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Everyone, please take your positions, prepare for real shooting!"
He paused for a moment, glanced around, and then took a deep breath: "A!"
He Xin and Yao Lu, who were already ready, loaded gunpowder together, compacted it with gunpowder, and took aim with their guns...
Ten meters ahead, there were five wooden stakes with large pumpkins on top.
Just two popping sounds were heard, and the explosion in the pumpkin was triggered, causing a loud crash in an instant.
"Ha ha!"
Yao Lu looked up to the sky and laughed.
At first glance, his appearance, especially his big round nose, is a bit exotic. Coupled with his deliberately long beard, he looks unruly and full of green forest heroes.
Li Yaohui was sitting on the rail car, and the camera was focused on the two of them, slowly spinning in a circle.
At this time, He Xin looked at Yao Lu with admiration in his eyes. He was brought up by his elder brother, and in his mind his elder brother was a great hero. Yao Lu's eyes were full of kindness and love.
"Card, okay, passed!"
Teacher Yu was obviously very satisfied and shouted loudly with a loudspeaker.
It is said that an expert can tell if someone is there as soon as he reaches out. Just such a look, He Xin knew in his heart that the reason why Yao Lu, an unknown actor, was chosen by Teacher Yu to play the role of the brother, it seems that it is not just a connection, but indeed
There are two blows under my hand.
As soon as the director called to stop, the two of them saw a look of admiration in each other's eyes. One might be surprised, but the other thought that the other's reputation was not in vain.
Although Yao Lu is not famous, he was graduated from the acting department of Nortel. In fact, the saying "Chinese opera produces actors, Nortel produces stars" originated in the mid-to-late 1990s. To be precise, it was Zhao Yanzi and Zhang Ziyi
After that, the competition between China Theater and Nortel became more intense. If China Theater still adheres to tradition, Nortel seems to be more and more on the road of cultivating stars in order to follow the trend.
Before that, I really want to say that the gap in acting skills between the actors trained by Nortel and China Theater Company was not that big. Nortel also produced many good actors.
After taking this scene, Yao Lu quickly wrapped himself in a coat and said hello to He Xin, clocked out of get off work, had free time, and then went down the mountain with the troops after finishing work.
The next scene to be shot is the first scene between the male and female protagonists He Xin and Teacher Yu, which also happens to be the first encounter between A Ming and A Jiu.
Teacher Yu put down the guide tube and took the time to put on makeup, while He Xin put on a down jacket and hid in the wooden house alone.
A Ming and A Jiu met for the first time, and A Ming was immediately attracted to A Jiu. This scene must first create a stunning feeling. During this time, he spent time with Teacher Yu day and night, and was used to seeing her turbulent behavior.
, to create a surprise, to be honest, it’s really difficult.
Either he imagined her as another person, such as the Charlize Theron he met in Venice not long ago, who was really beautiful; or he tried to recall those so-called age-free photos of his teacher online in later generations.
Then we have to combine the characteristics of the character Amin.
A Ming grew up in the village. His elder brother kept him away from fighting and killing, and asked his husband to teach him how to read and write, and even play music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He was doted on by everyone, and lived a leisurely, willful, and very boring life.
In order to avoid being chased by their enemies, the two brothers rarely go down the mountain. Every year on the third day of March, the elder brother goes down the mountain disguised as a peddler and goes down the mountain to spend a day in a small town. He goes to the market, tastes delicious food, and goes to see a brothel woman he has been missing for a year.
.
As for A Ming, he has become accustomed to life in the mountains. He is not interested in the outside world, the colorful and luxurious world. He spends his days in the mountains hunting, reading, and painting...
But why study? I can't take the imperial examination, and no one will want a student with a background of horse thieves. Even for life-long events, I can't choose the daughter of a good family.
A Ming thought that it would be better to die of old age like this, until he met Ah Jiu.
He Xin explored everything about this character. He was knowledgeable, yet ruthless, sensible, yet disobedient to etiquette. A relatively simple character, he tore it apart and crushed it into pieces, integrating himself perfectly.
"Teacher He, the director is ready." Yu Feihong's assistant ran over to inform.
"I know, I'll go over first." He Xin nodded in agreement.
When he walked out of the wooden house, looking from a distance, he saw a bright red figure dancing and talking to the on-site executive director and photographer Li Yaohui.
He deliberately avoids close and face-to-face contact with Teacher Yu. Speaking of which, he has never seen Teacher Yu's appearance in the play. If he wants to find that amazing feeling, he must have a strong visual impact and sense of mystery.
He learned this trick from his girlfriend. When filming the scene in "A Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" in which Li Baoli follows and catches an adulterer, she hid in the car to do some psychological construction, and didn't get out of the car until the filming started.
Going up and down, I deliberately avoided He Xin and Wan Qian. Then when the shooting officially started, I maximized the impact at once, and it felt natural.
He Xin followed suit at this time. He simply put on his musket, mounted his horse and wandered around the shooting scene until the scene was ready and Teacher Yu was in place. Then he rode his horse to the camera.
"Okay, everyone, get ready!"
“The lighting is okay!”
“Photography OK!”
"A!"
He Xin is chasing a deer on horseback. Of course, there is no deer at the scene, so this requires post-editing.
Unknowingly, I ran to the other side of the mountain, where there were large expanses of green meadows, just when the warblers were flying and the grass was growing, and the wind was warm and fragrant.
Then, when he looked up, he saw her.
Teacher Yu has his back to the camera, dressed in bright red, with a big black braid hanging down, sitting on a stone and playing the flute. His beautiful curves are hidden in the red dress, so quiet, so natural, just like the flowers passing through in the spring.
The tree was covered with fallen flowers.
The sound of the flute is very beautiful, it is really the sound coming from her flute.
He Xin was surprised and surprised. Unless it was a deliberate design, Teacher Yu was also very well prepared. This feeling of surprise and surprise was exactly what he needed, and it was an excellent emotional foreshadowing.
"Hush!"
He tightened the reins lightly, and the little black hooves under his crotch were messily and finely stepping on the grass, just like his pounding heartbeat at this time.
He tilted his head, not daring to make a sound, feeling both curious and unspeakably excited.
When I was young, the whining sound of the flute lingered, and the teacher seemed to feel something, and turned to look back.
It is said that appearance is 30%, grooming is 70%. Perhaps because during this time, he was used to seeing his teacher without makeup and slovenly appearance. At this moment, he was really surprised. Just like what was written in the script, his eyes could freeze time.
Live: At a loss, obsessed, offended, yes, she was so beautiful that it offended him.
Teacher Yu really belongs to that kind of classical beauty, her eyes are full of aura, her mouth is gentle, and her classical oval face is just right.
At this moment, He Xin seemed to once again see Fairy Jinghong in "Little Li's Flying Knife"; Murong Qiudi in "The Sword of the Third Young Master".
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
He Xin let go of the reins and spurred the horse forward. Teacher Yu's whole body was occupied by that gaze. Like a frightened rabbit, he jumped off the boulder in panic and ran a few steps staggeringly.
"drive!"
He rode up to follow her and walked carefully around her.
Is it a cat and mouse game? Or is it like a child who is confused when he sees the treasure he dreams of?
He Xin didn't know, and he believed A Ming didn't know either. He had lived in a village since he was a child, and had few opportunities to interact with outsiders. He had a naive and simple side to his character, and because he was well-read in poetry and books, he was well-educated and well-spoken.
He has a logical side, but at the same time, he has a more ruthless side.
Then I figured it out.
Since you like it, grab it back, it's a very simple matter.
At this time, Li Yaohui, who was sitting on a high-raised track and controlling the camera, took a large panoramic view at the right time, and suddenly pulled the camera away, showing a man and a woman, one chasing and the other escaping. The red woman was on the green carpet-like meadow.
Running stumblingly up and down, the black horse and the man in flowing white clothes behind formed an extremely wonderful picture.
"ah!"
The woman in red finally fell down on the grass.
The camera zooms in quickly, showing weakness, helplessness, and touching beauty.
He Xin reined in the reins and stared at the woman on the ground with all his heart and soul.
Finally he flicked the reins and rushed towards her.
"Card!"
The executive director calls timely to stop.
Although He Xin's riding skills are good, he still doesn't have the ability to show off his ability to ride on a horse and then pick someone up from the ground. He still needs a stunt double to complete the following scenes.
Before He Xin could rein in the horse, Teacher Yu got up from the ground on his hands and knees, shouting hurriedly: "How is it? How is it?"
I ran over and looked at the monitor.
The executive director hurriedly took off his headphones, raised his thumbs, and openly flattered: "Perfect!"
"Tch, how can there be a perfect play? Stop talking nonsense!"
She scolded, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. She asked herself that she was very satisfied with her performance just now, just because she wanted to see how He Xin's performance was.
She did not forget to turn around and greet the man who was still riding the horse: "Teacher He, do you want to take a look?"
"I won't watch anymore." He waved his hand.
At this moment, he had to be prepared for another one, and he still had to maintain his previous mood, simply turn the horse's head, relax the reins, and let Xiao Hei run freely.
He rarely watched the playback on the monitor when filming. At first, he couldn't see what was going on. Later, when he came up with his own ideas, he was worried about having a disagreement with the director, so he simply turned a blind eye.
It was at this level that he understood what Director Chen once said: "I never watch the replays, because I will definitely not be satisfied after watching them, and I will definitely want another one, which will only waste everyone's time."
Teacher Chen’s words are not pretentious, they are definitely spoken from the bottom of his heart.
Teacher Yu looked over it several times and made sure there were no flaws. Then he stood up with a satisfied look on his face, raised his hand and greeted everyone: "This one has been passed, prepare to take pictures of the next one."
