Chapter seven hundred and ninety-ninth the border between good and evil
Where are the details of the props?
For example, in the one-of-a-kind transaction more than ten years ago, the one-hundred-dollar bill with the image of the Four Great Men commonly known as "green skin" was used; more than ten years later, the red Mao Zedong note used in the transaction was the one used today.
For another example, more than ten years ago, the dentist wore an old-fashioned white gauze mask when he saw Da Du Xiao’s teeth. It was the same style of mask that Big Pig Zhang wore when he played the thief; and when he saw Zhang Yi’s teeth at this time,
What I am wearing is a disposable medical surgical mask.
"alright."
Ni Dahong pulled down his mask, raised his hand to turn off the light above the dental chair, and then easily pushed the light aside to prevent the patient from hitting his head when he sat up.
These are details that reflect the professionalism of a dentist.
"Rinse your mouth."
Zhang Yi sat up and went to get the cup for mouthwash. He paused, turned around and said: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome."
Ni Dahong responded, stood up, and walked to the sink to wash his hands.
This shot was shot with two cameras. He Xin and Cheng Er hid behind the monitor and stared at the picture. On the screen, they saw Ni Dahong dragging his rickety body and his slow back, which made people secretly marvel.
Zhang Yi, who was sitting in the dental chair, rinsed and wiped his mouth, looked back at his back and said, "Do you stay open so late every day?"
This is a close-up shot from above. Zhang Yi is raising his brows, with a few clear wrinkles on his forehead, and his eyes have the kind of scrutiny that is unique to police officers.
While washing his hands, Ni Dahong turned back and said with a smile: "It depends on the patient's condition."
Zhang Yi pondered for a moment, then asked: "What time will the door open in the morning?"
At this time, Ni Dahong finished washing his hands, shook the water on his hands naturally, and said with a smile: "I went to work at eight o'clock in the morning."
Different from his previous smile, his smile now was full of kindness and affinity, just like the smile Su Daqiang had when he saw Cai Genhua.
It should be said that he has a thorough understanding of the characters. The dentist lost his dental clinic due to being sentenced more than ten years ago. Now he can only work in private clinics, and his income generally depends on performance. Everyone who has seen a dentist knows that
, dental visits are definitely not something that can be judged just once or twice. What matters is repeat customers. For Zhang Yi, a patient who comes to see a dentist for the first time, he naturally has to show a very enthusiastic attitude.
The two different laughs before and after usually mean that the performance is very layered.
Zhang Yi is always in a state of inspection and thinking. There is no expression on his face, and he only expresses the character's psychological state through changes in his eyes.
This is Zhang Yi's specialty. The scientist he played in "My Motherland and Me" relied on his eyes to perform, giving him the most outstanding performance in this ensemble drama.
What is even more valuable is that he has a very accurate grasp of the professional characteristics of the policeman.
He Xin has also played a police officer. He played a criminal police captain in the TV series "I'm Not a Hero" directed by "Fu Di Mo". In order to play this role well, he went to the criminal police team to experience life. Looking back now
Come to think of it, he was not satisfied with the role of the policeman he played back then. It was similar in appearance but not in spirit. To be more specific, he did not grasp the professional characteristics of a policeman very accurately.
It is said that the highest level of acting is to have thousands of faces, and some people act like themselves. For example, take Shen Teng, you may not remember the plots he acted in the movie, but you will find it funny when you see him.
This is probably the highest realm of comedians.
As for the role of a police officer, He Xin liked to watch suspense-themed police and gangster movies in his previous life. Some actors did show superb acting skills, but it does not mean that the acting was accurate. For example, Nai Pan in "White Night", he was divided into three parts by himself.
He plays the four corners, the elder brother and the younger brother. The younger brother plays the elder brother, and the elder brother plays the younger brother. Each has its own characteristics, but as for the role of a policeman, his performance is not as accurate as that of Xiao Wang, who plays Zhou Xun.
Of course, Zhang Yi's performance at this time was obviously better than Xiao Wang's shoes.
This time he did not change his gaze, looked at Ni Dahong and asked: "When will your daughter come to you tomorrow?"
The smile on Ni Dahong's face suddenly froze. At this time, the camera showed a close-up of his face, and his expression instantly became tense. His eyes hesitated for a moment, and then he looked timidly towards Zhang Yi.
"I'm a police officer!"
The dentist had been in prison for ten years. When he heard Zhang Yi revealed his identity, Ni Dahong stood at attention, lowered his head, and looked at his feet like a conditioned reflex. He did not dare to say anything or move anything.
"Card!"
Cheng Er picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted.
Then he and He Xin looked at each other, and both of them saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes. This shot was undoubtedly very beautiful.
"Well, very good, let's keep one."
They say it's a guarantee, but actually the two of them want to enjoy their wonderful performances again, and at the same time, they also want to see if there are other possibilities.
Zhang Yi stayed here for a week. In addition to the scenes opposite Ni Dahong, there were also some scenes interacting with the local police. After filming these, he hurried back to the capital.
He hasn't finished his movie here yet, and he still has a lot of work in the capital, and he has to wait for Bald Xu's schedule. That's how filming is. When an actor is very popular, the schedule will be very tight, so he can only
Coming and going, making arrangements where every opportunity is available.
Bald Xu is currently filming a TV series, telling the story of an older leftover man who keeps falling in love with different girls. It will take half a month before he can report to the set.
There is no way, in his words, these scenes are all human kidnappings.
Even though Baldy Xu is a very shrewd person, in fact he is very stubborn about saving face, including the movie "Hee Travels" he co-produced with Fulantai's so-called "Happy Family". What the hell is this? Just for the sake of being funny.
, the plot has no logic and is simply a farce.
His performance in this movie was also a favor, and as a result, there were countless negative reviews. The bad reputation even affected the release of "Journey to the Road".
Speaking of "Journey", it was originally planned to be released in the Lunar New Year slot this year, but the competition in this year's Lunar New Year slot is particularly fierce, with Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly", Director Chen's "The Orphan of Zhao", and Feng Peng's "If You Are the One 2"
” are released together.
A low-cost comedy like "Jonky Road" is simply cannon fodder and has to be postponed until next year's Spring Festival. In fact, there is no such thing as a Spring Festival slot these days. Ever since Feng's Comedy created the Lunar New Year slot, the Lunar New Year slot has always been
The most important period of the year. And in order to protect domestic films, the General Administration has issued a new policy this year - imported blockbusters are not allowed to be released during the Lunar New Year period.
So, don’t always scold the General Administration. Although the General Administration’s censorship is indeed a bit unreasonable, the General Administration has still done a lot of work in protecting domestic films, which has effectively prevented the domestic film market from being overtaken by Hollywood films.
occupied.
Since the country has created such good conditions for domestic films, of course, as a filmmaker, you must live up to your expectations. It would not be good if you were always force-feeding shit.
…
Cheng Er's "Border" actually has two meanings. One is the literal meaning, which is a story that takes place on the border of China and Myanmar; the other meaning is the border in people's hearts, the border between good and evil.
Du Xiao kidnapped the little girl. After she escaped, the little girl lost the value of her use. And as the only witness who witnessed Du Xiao hiding Du Xiao, Du Xiao originally wanted to kill her, but he couldn't. At this moment, the kindness in his heart
Thoughts overcame evil.
Then the little girl grew up and fell in love with Du Xiao.
Today's scene is about Xiao An's mother passing away. Du Xiao accompanied Xiao An back to attend the funeral. This is also the first time Xiao An met his dentist father since he was kidnapped.
The weather in Ruili happened to be not very good these two days, it was always gloomy, which was perfect for filming such a depressing and heavy plot.
The makeup artist in the team is the makeup artist of the previous "I Do". Different from the heavy makeup in "I Do", in this drama Cheng Er requires that the actors return to their original nature as much as possible. In other words, in addition to applying some powder on the face to avoid shine, the actors are required to
Try not to wear bare makeup, that is, so-called bare makeup.
However, He Xin's role as Du Xiao has an age span of more than ten years, so there must be some changes. The makeup artist felt that in "I Do", He Xin specially left a circle of stubble to play the middle-aged down-and-out man Yang Nianhua, which looked particularly attractive.
For this reason, Fan specially put a light shadow on his chin and lips. It was not as slovenly as Yang Nianhua's, and it added a bit of literary style.
Because he had to accompany Xiao An to attend the funeral, he wore a black shirt and black suit.
After changing clothes and coming out, Tong Yali who was in the next room happened to come out too.
He Xin took a look and his eyes lit up involuntarily.
Today she wore a shoulder-length wig, a white sunhat with black rims, a close-fitting black skirt, and a white high-waisted jacket.
The hem of the skirt is not long, revealing a pair of slender thighs. She is not wearing socks, and is wearing a pair of very simple sandals with white soles and a black strap on top.
Her feet are very beautiful, very thin, with exposed veins, and her toenails are neatly trimmed.
Her skin is not white. Except for her face, which has been taken care of and is slightly fair, her slightly dark complexion is still exposed on her thighs and feet. However, her makeup is still very effective, simple and clean.
Even if the eyebrows are not painted, some people really look as pale as chrysanthemums.
Tong Yali was just about to say hello when she saw He Xin's eyes falling on her with a look of amazement, and she couldn't move away. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, took a catwalk, walked a few steps in front of him, and deliberately put on a
Enchanting poss.
"Brother, how's it going?"
No, when He Xin saw her like this, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Xiao An won't show such an expression. She has something on her mind, do you understand?"
When Tong Yali, who was full of coquettishness, heard this, her face suddenly fell, and she responded: "Oh, I understand."
In today's scene, He Xin is just cooperating. The main scene is the rivalry scene between her and Ni Dahong's father and daughter after they reunite. From a plot point of view, it is very important. Ni Dahong's acting skills are obvious to all. His rickety figure and facial expression are really suitable.
Uncle Gao Qun's evaluation of him - the actor with facial paralysis.
He can definitely hold the role of father, but it's not certain whether Tong Yali can handle his role.
This is a dilapidated small street in the old city. There are low pavements on both sides. One of them is relatively large. After several days of decoration, the art team transformed it into a funeral parlor. In front of it is a simple farewell hall.
At the back is the cremation room.
Before the shooting started, the staff were still nervously doing preparations. He Xin once again warned Tong Yali: "In a moment, please pay attention, you have communication with Teacher Dahong, but you can't let him disrupt your own rhythm. On the one hand, you have to pay attention."
You and he haven't seen each other for ten years. You feel excited about seeing him again after a long separation, but more of a feeling of strangeness. In contrast, you still have a deep relationship with your mother who passed away and does not exist in the play, so you are almost
All kinds of emotions are mixed together, and you have to express them."
"Uh, let me try." Tong Yali obviously lacked confidence.
He Xin looked at her like this and sighed secretly. Today's scene should be said to be the most difficult scene for the role of Xiao An. It is precisely because the emotions in this scene are very complicated and cannot be expressed with expressions and eyes.
, is also the scene with the most lines.
To be honest, Tong Yali is a resource person nowadays. If she were not one of his own, he would definitely not choose her to play Xiao An. For example, Wang Ruodan really wanted to be in this drama before, and during the audition, there was a girl who just came from Beijing this year.
An actress named Gao Daye, who graduated from the Department of Electrical Performance, is particularly explosive and is also a very suitable candidate.
When I met Cheng Er, who was introverted and not good at inspiring actors, he consciously took on this task as a producer, especially for Tong Yali.
He could only comfort him patiently: "You don't have to be too nervous. Just grasp the feeling of the character in this situation and it will be OK."
"good!"
After what he said, Tong Yali was no longer in the mood to show off her coquettishness. She walked to the side and sat on a chair alone and began to mime in search of feelings.
"Teacher Dahong, I have to ask you to be patient for a while." He specifically said hello to Ni Dahong, and at the same time nuzzled in the direction of Tong Yali.
"I understand, I understand." Lao Ni responded with a smile.
Seeing the old man winking, He Xin was also helpless. Normally on the set, Tong Yali would come to him whenever she had nothing to do. We are all smart people, especially in the colorful vat of right and wrong in the entertainment industry, this kind of thing
If there are too many, even if you are fine, others will think that something is wrong. And the more you explain, the more you try to cover it up.
Not long after, the crew was ready.
"Teacher He, Teacher Dahong, Yaya, can you start?"
He Xin and Ni Dahong unanimously turned their attention to Tong Yali who was sitting in the corner.
"Ah? Oh, that's it." The girl who was still immersed in the plot quickly stood up and responded.
The prop car is a Mercedes-Benz 600 limousine lent to the crew by Mr. Meng, and it is also a specially customized bulletproof car.
He Xin and Tong Yali got into the car and put on their seat belts as usual. However, He Xin hesitated for a moment and then loosened the seat belt on the driver's seat where he was sitting. As a lonely person, you must first have momentum.
How can you be restrained by a seat belt?
Seeing this, Tong Yali touched the seat belt tied to her chest, and it was still tied up obediently.
This is her own experience. The character Xiao An teaches children to read in Myanmar. In addition to finding something to do for herself, from the bottom of her heart, it also means atonement for Du Xiao. As He Xin just told her, Xiao An is worried, even more so.
Follow the rules.
The machine is set up in front of the car, and the camera looks through the windshield at the two people sitting in the car. This is a medium-long shot.
