Seeing Lao Cheng get out of the police car, Cheng Er rushed up and hugged him with a choked voice and said, "It's good to come back! It's good to come back!"
Old Cheng was so confused that he was at a loss.
This made He Xin know Cheng Er, who looked introverted and cold, a guy who looked like a man, and he didn't expect that this guy was quite emotional.
Works created by a emotional director must be passionate, but at the same time, they may also be accompanied by many uncontrollable factors.
When people come back, the truth will naturally be revealed.
Poor Lao Cheng is also stupid enough. It turned out that he received a call from the other party and made an appointment to answer the phone in front of the National Hospital. But then the other party called again and asked him to turn off his phone and wait in place.
So he turned off the machine obediently, and the other party used his turn off the machine to simulate his number, call the brothers from the prop group, and blackmailed money. He waited for more than an hour and found that no one came to contact him.
He also guessed that this matter was unreliable, so he went out to drink with someone he had made an appointment with.
Then I ate and sang K again. It was not until after eleven o'clock. I remembered that my phone was still turned off, so I turned on the phone to contact me.
It was such a case that suspected of kidnapping was actually a fraud that caused the crew to go through with the local police for most of the night.
After this incident, Lao Cheng became a celebrity in the police station, from the director, instructor, and from the doorman to the reception. "Border" is a police and gangster film. He used to borrow handcuffs, police uniforms, etc., but he usually had to
Lao Guan, a local external producer, contacted the institute. Later, he didn't need it anymore, so he could lend anything to the institute.
Of course these are all later stories.
In fact, Ruili, the legendary unique corridor, is very good as Lu Xiao introduced. There are many cases in the capital that smashes car windows and steals property in the car every year, but local people in Ruili say that this case has not been there for more than ten years.
It happened.
However, this time, such a thing happened in front of foreign guests, and the local public security leaders still felt that they could not bear the pressure, so the next day, they sent someone to clear up all the advertisements on the street.
...
"Teacher He, this is the little actor who plays Xiao Xiaoan."
The next morning, He Xin and everyone were having breakfast in the restaurant, and when Cheng Er came over with a little girl, there was a young man dressed in a local in his early twenties next to him.
He Xin was stunned when he saw this little girl, and then his eyes lit up. He looked like he was seven or eight years old, with a small braid, and was not afraid of being angry at all. When he saw He Xin looking over, she also looked up and used the black pair of black ones.
Big eyes looked straight at you, and her face was full of innocence and naughtiness.
He couldn't help but say surprise: "Where did you find it?"
Xiao Xiaoan is the childhood of Xiaoan played by Tong Yali. It turned out that in order to choose this role, Cheng Erhe, the deputy director in charge of casting, met no less than a hundred little girls through various child actor training classes in Beijing.
The result is not that kind of eye-catching.
The only child who everyone recognized before the crew set off, the parents asked the crew for a high price under the inspiration of the training class teacher. Originally, as long as the role was suitable, it was not a big deal to have high prices but not high prices, and they didn't even have to report to He Xin.
, Lu Xiao can make the decision.
As a result, Cheng Er's temper was wrong. It was also possible that the child had just barely met the standards in his eyes, and it was not that she was necessary. Cheng Er was determined not to be used to this problem and abandoned it directly.
Then after the crew arrived here, they asked the casting assistant director to search in Kunming. They did find a little girl who had received performance training and played roles in TV series. The only disadvantage is that she was too tall and looked more than her actual age.
It's big, but the computer is about to start up, so I can only make a reservation first and send the photos to He Xin.
Cheng Er smiled and said, "Her name is Xiaoqin, she is a local, and she is a Dai child. It's a coincidence that when Zhong Chen went to the remnant scenery of Wanding two days ago, he saw Xiaoqin running over the roadside. He was stunned at that time.
I live, isn't this Xiao Xiaoan? Unfortunately, the little girl ran too fast and disappeared in a blink of an eye. When I came back, I described it to me. The next day, we went out to find the child. Fortunately, the Wanding Town is not big.
With the help of the local police station, this Dai girl was found."
Cheng Er rarely gestured with his hands and feet, and described it in detail, and it could be seen that the little girl in front of him was indeed very satisfied with him.
At this time, Tong Yali also came to join in the fun. Seeing this little girl who was about to play her childhood, she immediately exclaimed: "Wow, what a cute little girl! Come on, tell my sister, what's your name?"
"Auntie, my name is Xiaoqin!"
"puff!"
The little girl's Chinese is not very good. She pronounced a bit strange, but she could still understand it. The little Luzi next to her couldn't help laughing, but everyone started laughing.
Tong Yali looked embarrassed and glared at Lu Xiao, then quickly corrected the girl: "It's not aunt, call me sister, sister-sister!"
The little girl didn't say anything, but just looked at her with a puzzled look on her face.
Everyone laughed even harder.
Xiao Luzi smiled and twitched: "Yaya, don't be embarrassed by others, you may be older than her mother."
Local ethnic minorities get married early. Girls may have gotten married and had children at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Tong Yali is already twenty-seven years old. It is really possible that she is older than the little girl's mother.
Seeing that Tong Yali was about to leave on the spot, He Xin quickly smoothed out and said, "Okay, okay, don't scare the child."
As he said that, he squatted down, looked straight at Xiaoqin and greeted, "Hello Xiaoqin! You will be filming with your uncle in the future. Are you nervous?"
The little girl pounced on her big eyes and said naively: "Uncle, is it fun to film?"
"It's fun, it's very fun! Come on, is it good to have breakfast with your uncle? Look at it, there are a lot of delicious food here."
"My uncle and I have had breakfast." The little girl said shyly.
That being said, the cake couldn't help swallowing when he saw all kinds of snacks on the table.
Haha, this little girl is so cute.
"We can eat something more after eating."
As he said that, He Xin picked up the girl and sat beside him, and then greeted the young man who was her uncle. When the young man saw He Xin just now, he looked very excited and sat aside with him and was very restrained.
He Xin has many rivalries with Xiao Qin in the play. The little girl has no acting experience, just like a piece of blank paper. What He Xin has to do now is to contact the little girl and get familiar with it as soon as possible.
After breakfast, Xiao Luzi reported to him about Xiao Qin's situation. Xiao Qin had not yet gone to school and her family was not rich. Because her mother had to work, she asked her uncle to accompany her to the group.
Finally, Xiao Luzi sighed quite emotionally: "The people here are really simple. When I discussed the remuneration with their family yesterday, the salary plus the loss of work of the parents was the amount."
As he said that, he stretched out five fingers.
"Well, 50,000, it's not much." He Xin nodded and said.
The little girl I liked in Beijing before, their parents quoted a price of 500,000 yuan, but now it is only one tenth.
As a result, Xiao Luzi widened his eyes and was about to speak, he looked around and lowered his voice, "What, brother, I only cost five thousand yuan!"
“…”
He Xin did not expect it, but he also knew the reason why he fought with Mien. He was surprised and pondered: "In this way, after Xiaoqin's play was completed, you can give someone a red envelope, which is considered to be the tuition fee for the little girl.
”
"Hehe, brother, I think so too."
...
In the afternoon, the crew officially started filming in an abandoned mall in Wanding.
The name Wanding is very familiar to He Xin because National Highway 320 is not far from his hometown in his previous life. Whenever he passes by the toll station, he will always see a large street sign "Wanding-Shanghai, Vegetable Green Channel".
The small border town of Wanding is the end of National Highway 320. This soon-to-be-destroyed shopping mall is said to have been developed by a businessman from Zhejiang more than ten years ago. He originally wanted to be a distribution center for border trade, but because of years of war in Myanmar, business is in progress.
It was bleak, closed down five or six years ago, and now only the ground floor is still used as a warehouse.
Cheng Er chose this place mainly because he could shoot without interference. Moreover, the whole building is well connected, which is a bit like the Kowloon City in the old Hong Kong film. It is very suitable for exclusive trading and evading police pursuit.
The entire building is a tic-tac-shaped pattern. In the middle is a staircase and an escalator that has been deactivated, and is surrounded by shops. The dentist clinic run by Ni Dahong is on the fourth floor, and opposite the staircase is a small restaurant.
"Card!"
Cheng Er hid in a shop, stared at the monitor, picked up the intercom and said, "It's not ideal, let the actors be more natural, and have another one."
His words were passed to the executive director on site, who began to shout and sat down to demonstrate to the extras on site.
On the first day of the filming, Cheng Er did not arrange scenes of the main actors and filmed some extras in small restaurants just to grind the shots first. He Xin, Ni Dahong, and Tong Yali were also familiar with the environment and the atmosphere of the crew on the spot.
Although Xiaoqin said "Auntie" at once, Tong Yali was very upset, she still held the girl's hand and pointed at the scene and said, "Xiaoqin, look, this is filming, is it fun?"
"Yeah, it's fun."
"Did you see that the big machine in the hand of the bearded uncle, would you be nervous if he aimed it at you?"
“…”
This was the first time the little girl saw the camera, and her eyes were filled with curiosity and confusion, and she couldn't answer for a moment.
"Xiaoqin, my sister is just a filming movie. She won't be nervous at all when she stands in front of that big machine. Do you want to learn?"
"think."
"Sister can teach you, but my sister has a small condition. You are not allowed to call me aunt again in the future, call me sister, do you understand?"
The little girl hesitated for a while before she reluctantly shouted: "Sister...Sister!"
He Xin was having a fight with Ni Dahong, but when he heard the conversation between two girls, one big and one little girl next to him, he almost laughed out loud.
"Hey, Teacher Dahong, do you fiddle with that dentist's thing?"
"Xiao He, aren't you kidding? Since I got the script, I have been to the dental clinic to experience life, so there must be no problem."
Ni Dahong looked arrogant and then pointed at the scene and said, "Hey, Xiao He, did you realize just now? Our Director Cheng seems to like fixed lenses and rarely use horizontal and push-pull lenses."
As the saying goes: A layman watches the excitement, while an expert watches the tricks.
For veteran actors like them, the performance in front of the camera is not static. On the scene, you often have to make a series of fine-tuning according to the camera position setting and the specific shots to achieve the best performance effect.
The shooting on the spot continues, mainly showing group pictures of the guys, bosses and customers in the small restaurant. But Cheng Er still seems to be unsatisfied and wants to start over again.
At this time, there was a commotion under the stairs of the shop next to him, and then I heard the excited shout of the external producer Lao Guan: "Director, Mr. Meng is here!"
"Oh, the boss is here!" Ni Dahong next to him muttered with a smile, and the person subconsciously stood up to greet him.
Cheng Er, who was sitting behind the monitor, heard Lao Guan’s shouting, and quickly picked up the intercom and shouted: “Everyone have a rest.”
Then he hurried over and said to He Xin: "Teacher He, Mr. Meng is here, just introduce you to me."
"OK!"
He Xin has long heard of this famous name for Mr. Meng.
When Cheng Er was surveying the scenery here, he had never found a suitable courtyard for Du Xiao’s old nest. The courtyard must be large and luxurious enough, but also reflect the Burmese characteristics. For this, he almost traveled all over the suburbs of Ruili.
One day, Cheng Er went to Mengxiu Mountain to explore the scenery with a local border armed police instructor. This was because he accidentally ran out of the country last time and was detained by the Myanmar Immigration Bureau. In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, the local area made special arrangements.
of.
On the way, they met an old man who was raising ducks. The instructor of the armed police greeted the old man very politely. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered and suggested that Cheng Er go to his house to take a look.
Cheng Er was wondering at first what was good at the old man who was raising ducks. As a result, they followed the old man who was raising ducks and jogging along the narrow mountain road until they saw the yard and took Cheng Er.
He was shocked.
A courtyard covering an area of 10 acres, full of tropical plants, free-range peacocks, monkey mountain, a swimming pool built with hot spring water from 300 meters deep, building pavilion
The siege is simply a park!
What's even more exaggerated is that when Cheng Erzhan asked the old man who was trespassing the ducks: "Is this yard yours?"
As a result, the old man pointed at the front and back in an understatement and said, "Oh, the mountain behind and the canyon we can see opposite us, too."
At that time, Cheng Er and the crew members were all petrified.
Later I learned that this old man is said to be the second-ranked rich man in Ruili, mainly engaged in the mahogany business. A considerable part of the raw materials in the famous mahogany palace in the capital were supplied by him for a long time.
This old man's surname is Meng. Everyone calls him Mr. Meng. He is from the capital. He was a educated youth in the Great Northern Wilderness in his early years. Later, he joined the army and later started doing business. He moved his business center to Ruili more than ten years ago. He also went to the same year.
I only returned to the capital during the Chinese New Year.
I heard that the crew is from the capital, Mr. Meng fully demonstrated the enthusiasm and generousness of northerners when they met fellow villagers. Not only did they have delicious food and drinks, but they also agreed to Cheng Er's proposal to borrow the yard shooting.
As a result, during the communication, Cheng Er had a sudden idea: "Can you help us play a role? I think there is a Du Xiao character in our movie, and you are the most suitable!"
Mr. Meng was stunned for a moment: "Can I do it?"
Cheng Er doesn’t think that three sticks can’t beat a single thing, he is very terrified at the critical moment: “You and He Xin are in the opposite scene, you play the boss, and he plays your maid!”
He Xin, big star!
The hype was very popular a while ago. The first Chinese Berlin actor is winning glory for the country!
When Mr. Meng heard this, he was moved and felt that he was very satisfied with playing the role of He Xin's boss.
The big boss promised to borrow the yard for free and also helped act. He Xin originally planned to visit him in person when he had time these two days to express his gratitude, but he didn't expect that on the first day of the start-up, he took the initiative to come to the door.
