Chapter six hundred and ninety-eight of the original restoration
Tianjin, a private restaurant in the old town.
The scenes in Tianjin this time were mainly for shooting some outdoor scenes. The main actors' filming tasks were not heavy, so it was rare for them to be together.
Wang Zhiwen was the oldest and took the first place, followed by Hu Jun, Duan Yihong who came from afar, the Li sisters, Liu Weiwei and others. He Xin and Cheng Hao served as the hosts.
"Lao Duan, you've worked hard!" He Xin toasted Lao Duan.
Duan Yihong clinked glasses with him with a smile: "Xiao He, you're a heretic, aren't you? It's an honor for you to think of me this time!"
Once upon a time, the shy old man whom we had a drink with in a small restaurant now seems to be a decent person, and his words are very cool in the scene.
With the popularity of "Soldier Assault", this guy became an instant hit. He just finished filming "Leader" with Zhang Yi and others this year under the banner of the original cast of "Soldier Assault". It is said that this drama
Before the post-production was completed, the four major TV stations in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Yunnan had bought out the first-broadcast rights, with one million episodes, four-star simulcast, and it could be said that it became popular before it was broadcast.
"Teacher Wang, I salute you!" Lao Duan then held the glass in both hands and stood up to toast Wang Zhiwen.
"You're welcome, Duan Long, sit down, sit down!" Wang Zhiwen said with a spring breeze on his face.
Everyone here counts, as long as they are in the Chinese Opera, they are all students of Lao Wang. Even Hu Jun is only two years younger than Lao Wang, but he is in the 87th class of the Chinese Opera, and Lao Wang was assigned to the class in 88th
Arrived at the Chinese Opera.
"Old Wang, let's have a drink too." Hu Jun also laughed and joined in the fun.
"Hey, what do you mean? Are you planning to get me drunk by fighting with each other?" Wang Zhiwen dodged while holding a cup.
"Old Wang, they may not be aware of your drinking capacity, but am I not aware of it? Okay, stop acting like a teacher. If we can sit together and drink, we are all brothers! Stop talking nonsense, come on, let's do it.
"Hu Jun clinked glasses with him.
"Those who can drink together are brothers, what about us?" Li Bailian raised her hand to show her presence.
"Of course you are sisters."
"They should be brothers and sisters. Brother Jun said the wrong thing. I'm going to drink as a penalty! Come on, each of us sisters will have a drink with you." Li Bailian stood up and drank a glass with Hu Jun very generously.
Li Xue and Cheng Hao followed one after another. The three of them were definitely women and their drinking capacity was at least eighty taels.
Hu Jun is a drunkard and drinks a lot. He is happy to have someone drink with him. He even laughed at Wang Zhiwen and said: "Old Wang, look at it? This is called a wheel war!"
He Xin, the worst drinker, could only huddle in the corner and dare not say a word. He was still thinking that the box of Maotai he brought might not be enough, so he should ask Shen Ming to send two more bottles.
Over there, Hu Jun, who had drunk less than half a kilogram of wine, joked with Wang Zhiwen about the old news from that year: "I was just in my sophomore year at that time, and suddenly I saw a guy as skinny as a bamboo pole coming from the security office.
When I asked about it, it was very strange? How come the people from the Nortel Performance Department were assigned to the Security Office of the Chinese Theater..."
"You guy? Don't talk nonsense. What's the Security Office? It's called the Human Security Office? The Personnel Security Office, I'm in charge of personnel work." Wang Zhiwen said with a smile.
Li Bailian, who didn't know the inside story, looked strange and said: "Teacher Wang, don't you work at the Drama Research Institute?"
"Right? Later, I was seconded to the Drama Research Institute? My current staff is still in the People's Insurance Department. Xiao Cheng is the official staff of the Drama Research Institute." Wang Zhiwen explained.
By the way, after Cheng Hao graduated with a master's degree, he stayed at the China Theater Company and was assigned to the Drama Research Institute under the China Theater Company.
"Teacher Wang, you are not from Shanghai. Why didn't you return to Shanghai after graduation?"
Li Bailian studied opera and was very familiar with the city of Shanghai. Moreover, at that time, between Beijing and Shanghai, Shanghai seemed to be more popular.
"Those meetings are all assigned by the school. I have to obey the assignment." Wang Zhiwen spread his hands and said.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Hu Jun exposed him and said: "Come on, do you dare to say that you have no other purpose?"
"Well, what's the purpose? I wanted to be assigned to the arts, but it's a pity that I didn't have that way at the time!" Wang Zhiwen laughed, and at the same time gave Hu Jun a faint warning with his eyes, telling him not to talk nonsense.
In fact, most of the people here are well aware of Teacher Wang's romantic affairs when he was young. Even though Teacher Wang was as thin as a bamboo pole back then, she was quite popular among actresses, including the hit "Yang Guifei"
"Lin Fangbing, as well as Xu Fan, Jiang Shan, Xu Fei and many other beauties have had a relationship with him.
Li Bailian was very clever and quickly changed the topic: "Hey, it seems that a lot of you were assigned to the Drama Research Institute after graduating from the Chinese Theater Academy. Teacher Gong Li is also in the Drama Research Institute, right?"
Cheng Hao said: "Yes, there are also Jiang Wen, Teacher Li Baotian, and Chen Jianbing who are all at the Institute of Drama."
"Isn't Chen Jianbing in our Guohua now? Oh, he was transferred in later." Li Bailian said immediately.
Cheng Hao said with a smile: "He felt too embarrassed to be away from teaching all the time at school, so he was transferred to Mandarin. Teacher Jiang Wen was just the opposite. When he was at Qingyi, he felt too embarrassed not to be in dramas, so he was transferred to our Drama Research Institute.
.However, Teacher Gong Li later voluntarily resigned from our unit because she became a foreign national."
"Hey, how much contract fees do you pay per year?" Li Bailian asked again.
She is also someone who has an employer. After graduating from theater, she was assigned to the Experimental Theater, which is now Guohua. Actors like them who have an employer need to pay a contract fee to the employer when they come to film. It ranges from tens of thousands to
It ranges from hundreds of thousands, and Li Bingbing now has to pay Guohua a contract fee of more than 100,000 a year.
"I'll earn a few thousand yuan a month, I guess. Teacher Wang is still taking dialogue classes at school, so there should be no contract fee, okay?" Cheng Hao glanced at Wang Zhiwen and said.
"Nonsense, you have to pay whenever you go out to film. This time I paid a contract fee of 10,000 yuan." Wang Zhiwen had a drink with Lao Duan who was sitting next to him and corrected him casually.
"Hey, that's not right, Teacher Wang. It seems that your contract fee of 10,000 yuan was paid by our crew on your behalf."
The only self-employed actor without a formal employer, He Xin, finally came out to refresh his presence.
…
Tianjin shoots all big scenes, and drones finally come into play at this time, especially the grand "Double Ten" celebration shot on the night of December 31st, combined with the local fireworks show.
Through the lens of a drone, the scene is even more grand and unprecedented.
He Xin had seen a lot of drone videos in his previous life, but Xu Ke and others were different. They were particularly excited. In their eyes, this completely opened up a new perspective on film shooting.
After completing half a month of filming in Tianjin, we moved to the Qiuzhuang location in Dalian, which included the terrace scene. After another week of filming, we finally returned to the Zhuozhou Film and Television City studio for the final stage of filming.
"Okay, everyone, get ready!"
"A!"
In a sparsely furnished but clean small room, Li Bingbing, plainly dressed and looking haggard, pulled out a former cheongsam from a box.
"The words Xiao Meng left for you are all in this cheongsam."
Hu Jun, with his slicked-back hair and a well-dressed suit, dug out from inside the cheongsam the dense stitches that Gu Xiaomeng had sewn with thin yellow thread.
The Anti-Japanese War was victorious, and among the five, only Hu Jun and Li Bingbing survived. Li Bingbing, who once worked for the puppet government, is now an ordinary female textile worker, while Hu Jun is dressed up like a winner.
In this scene, Hu Jun found Li Bingbing and told him the truth about that year in a cafe. According to the plot setting, he also used his mouth to reveal the mystery to the audience. Then the two returned to Li Bingbing's house in a large courtyard.
She went to the hut and found the cheongsam that Cheng Hao helped her mend that night in Qiuzhuang.
"You know this better than me, it's all Morse code."
"..."
Li Bingbing pulled her clothes and shed tears while watching. She smoked a cigarette, slowly lowered her head amid the smoke, and buried herself in the clothes.
There was only one camera focused on her calmly.
At this moment, Li Bingbing seemed to be wrapped in an invisible, overwhelming sadness. He tried his best but could not make a sound, and could only squeeze out a trace of sob...
"Stuck! Okay, passed!" Uncle Gao Qun shouted.
Li Bingbing didn't seem to hear it, still burying his head in his clothes and crying.
"Bingbing, okay, it's over." Seeing this, Hu Jun was a little at a loss. He walked to her and patted her thin shoulder to comfort her.
Unfortunately there was no response.
At this time, Cheng Hao walked out of the crowd quickly, bent his arms around Li Bailian's shoulders, and whispered in her ear: "Okay, honey, everything is over!"
When Li Bailian heard her voice, she unexpectedly raised her face smeared with tears and snot. When she saw clearly that it was Cheng Hao, she threw herself into her arms and cried loudly.
Because Li Bailian needed to show a strong emotion in this scene, Cheng Hao, who played Gu Xiaomeng, had to avoid it. However, she still came over secretly, but she hid behind the crowd and was not discovered by Li Bailian.
"Okay, okay, my dear, just cry, just cry..."
Cheng Hao patted her back and whispered comfort, but she couldn't help but tears overflowed from her eyes and flowed down her cheeks.
Then Old Monster Xu also came over to comfort him. After struggling for a while, Li Bailian finally stopped feeling sad and looked at the staff who had gathered around him. Then he realized, wiped his eyes, clasped his hands, bowed to everyone and apologized: "I'm sorry.
ah!"
"It's okay, it's okay, Sister Bingbing, your performance just now was so touching, I couldn't help but want to cry."
"Teacher Bingbing, please don't be polite..."
"Bingbing, congratulations on creating an outstanding character." At this time, Old Monster Xu also smiled and opened his arms to her.
"Thank you, director."
Li Bailian hugged him, but she couldn't help but her eyes were wet, but at least she could control herself.
At this moment, Xu Ke turned around and looked at Uncle Gao Qun, and the old man quickly made a "please" gesture.
Only then did Mr. Xu pick up the microphone with a smile, looked around, and said loudly: "I announce that "The Wind" has been completed!"
"oh--"
Everyone cheered. For many behind-the-scenes workers, completion means that the intense work day after day has finally come to an end. It also means that they are about to receive a generous reward, which deserves everyone's happy cheers.
He Xin took the microphone from Xu Ke's hand and announced loudly again: "Tomorrow night is the closing banquet in the 798 Xiaowan Canteen. Please be sure not to be absent. The red envelope for absence will be gone!"
"oh--"
The cheers became louder.
…
January 23rd is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
This year, due to the filming of "The Wind", the company had a very late holiday. After the closing party the night before yesterday, I was busy finishing work for the past two days, and officially had a holiday in the afternoon.
After lunch, most people had left, leaving only a few department heads still busy. After all, the boss upstairs had not left yet.
"Well, I got it. You pack your luggage first. I'll ask Shen Ming to pick you up later. I won't be back. We'll go directly to the airport in a while... Yes, Shen Ming may come over in an hour. After I finish talking to Xu Guangtou
, let’s set off... Hey, don’t forget to bring my accordion, I have to practice it when I have time..."
While He Xin was sorting out the documents on his desk, he was talking to his girlfriend on the phone. On the plane this evening, the couple went back to Qingdao to celebrate the New Year.
The movie has just been completed, and not counting post-production, almost 50 million has been spent on various financial statements and documents that require his signature and confirmation. These two days have been very busy and dizzying.
Originally, he planned to go home in the afternoon, help his girlfriend pack her luggage, and then take Chuanchuan to Hao Rong's house, but Baldy Xu called him and hurriedly heard that he was still at the company.
He hurriedly said that he would come over. He could only wait and process some documents.
"What I put on the table in the morning were two bottles of red wine in wooden boxes, and the skin care products you endorsed. Don't forget to bring them to Brother Hao... Well, it's okay... I can't miss it, don't worry.
,Bye-Bye!"
As soon as he hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door, and then he saw a "braised egg" peeking in.
"Come on, Lao Xu, I'm just waiting for you, otherwise I would have left long ago." He Xin waved to him hurriedly.
"That means I came by chance."
Bald Xu walked in with a smile. He didn't come alone. There was actually a tall girl following him.
He Xin knew that this guy was very dishonest and that he was sick. He would usually drink tea and find some technicians, but at this moment, Xiao Taohong had just given birth, and it seemed a bit excessive for this guy to openly bring a girl in and out.
.
Although this guy took advantage of the Spring Festival to experience life some time ago, he can't even have a mistress to experience life, right?
And although this girl seems to have a good figure, her appearance is average and her skin is quite white. Could it be that this girl has changed her taste again?
But this guy is quite sensitive. He noticed that He Xin was looking at the girl behind him wrongly, so he immediately gave him an angry look and hurriedly introduced: "This is my assistant, Su Lun, from the Chinese Theater Director Department."
"Hello, Teacher He!" The girl named Su Lun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him in a somewhat restrained manner.
"Oh, hello, what class are you in Chinese Drama? Didn't you graduate?" He Xin asked suspiciously.
"I am from the class of 2004, and I am a senior this year. I saw you several times in school when I was a freshman."
"Oh, that's right. Sorry, I didn't even recognize him." He Xin said slightly embarrassed.
Bald Xu said from the sidelines: "Xiao Su is very good. She helped me perfect the script this time."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of computer-printed manuscripts from his bag.
"This is the first draft, take a look at it first."
He Xin flipped through it and found dozens of pieces of paper, at least hundreds of thousands of words.
"I can't finish it in a while now."
"It's okay. We can just contact you on the phone later. In addition to writing the manuscript, I came here mainly to discuss it with you. I think the role of migrant worker, Lao Huang, is not suitable. I still want to find Wang Baobao."
really!
When we first talked about this idea, Huang Bo was very interested and volunteered. As for He Xin, although he was very impressed by the character Wang Baobao in the original version, he thought about it and Huang Bo was not bad either. Maybe he would be replaced.
One person may be more outstanding.
He looked at Xu Guangtou with questioning eyes.
"The main reason is that Lao Huang is a bit old. The role of a migrant worker requires someone who has never traveled far and is ignorant and understanding. Just like Sha Gen in "A World Without Thieves". So after thinking about it, I still feel that I should find the right one.
Wang Baobao is suitable for this role." Bald Xu explained hurriedly.
"Sure, you are the director, you have the final say." He Xin followed suit.
Then he reminded with a smile: "But Baobao Wang is very popular now. It is much more expensive to find him than Lao Huang."
"That's why I'm anxious to find you. I want to confirm it as soon as possible to avoid being unable to adjust my schedule."
