Chapter 872 Expectation is getting stronger and stronger
The scene to be filmed today is about Brother Teng receiving a phone call after exchanging identities. The client on the other end of the phone told him that the task was completed well, how can I pay you the bill? The reward is as high as 100,000!
Brother Teng had a brain twitch for a moment and actually asked the other party to put the money in the mailbox downstairs of his original house. When He Xin came back from the play, he happened to meet Brother Teng who came to withdraw the money. The two had met in the hospital before.
, Brother Teng helped him pay for his medical expenses and hospitalization fees. In his eyes, Brother Teng was his benefactor, and he warmly invited him to go home and sit. He met Jiang Qinqin at the door, so the three protagonists sat together.
As for why Jiang Qinqin came here, there was some foreshadowing. Her father's illness became more and more serious, and she was eager to get married. As a result, the so-called elite men she met were more unreliable than the last. She accidentally thought of He Xin, and wanted to test it.
Try your luck by getting in touch, especially the identity of the other actor. If necessary, you might be able to act out a fake marriage scene.
Of course, what we were filming today was the indoor scene. After He Xin introduced the two benefactors to each other, he started complaining about his terrible life and wanted to commit suicide if he didn't work hard. But neither he nor Jiang Qinqin knew that this was actually Brother Teng's useless life.
Brother Teng felt so embarrassed that he felt like opening a wound and then spreading salt on it. And through his description, Jiang Qinqin got to know him better.
"Do you know the lines by heart?"
Before filming started, He Xin asked Brother Teng.
"Uh, almost."
"What do you mean it's almost the same? If you have a poor memory, just memorize it a few more times."
"I understand, I understand, Teacher He. But I'm still used to speaking smoothly, you see..."
Now this guy is too oily and looks like a deadbeat.
He Xin had no choice but to remind him: "Anyway, you'll perform better in a while. If something goes wrong and the director scolds you, I won't speak for you anymore."
At this time, Jiang Qinqin came over after putting on her makeup. She had changed into gray professional clothes today. Although the style was good, she looked a bit old-fashioned.
"Teacher Jiang, is it okay?"
Sister Qinqin, this is a normal title; you or hey, which is a bit more intimate; as for teacher Jiang, it is completely teasing.
Jiang Qinqin rolled her eyes at him, but still made an OK gesture towards him.
The atmosphere was quite relaxed, which at least meant that everyone was in good condition, plus they had rehearsed several times before.
The staff are still busy making preparations. The messy cabin has now been cleaned and things are neatly placed.
Ning Hao's idea was to first use a handheld lens to walk through the entire scene, and then add some specific close-ups.
The preparation work mainly involves adjusting the lighting. For example, when you enter the door, you will shoot with backlight to create a scene of sunlight pouring in from the window, which also has a meaning of hope and light.
The kitchen and bathroom are in warm orange light, which brings a little warmth to the bright and sunny environment.
In no time, we will be ready together.
"Okay, get ready-"
"A!"
Photography director Zhao Fei personally carried the machine and walked in slowly at the door. First, he took a subjective shot, giving a large panoramic view. The house was very old, but it was extremely clean and everything was neat and tidy.
Then Shen Teng took the lead and walked in from behind the camera. The camera followed him and stood in the center of the house and glanced around. Also surprised was Jiang Qinqin who had seen this dirty, smelly house. It was incredible.
.
The camera followed the two people's gaze and focused on He Xin, who was standing at the intersection between the kitchen and the door. He said sincerely: "I'm sorry, it's a bit messy!"
Then he hurriedly greeted the two benefactors to sit down and poured water.
Jiang Qinqin sat on the small sofa facing the camera, Shen Teng's seat was a small swivel chair next to the desk, and He Xin himself sat on the simple bed made of boxes, forming a triangular layout.
Shen Teng saw such a big change in his former kennel and found it difficult to adapt. He quickly took out the Huazi and handed one to He Xin.
He Xin knew from the cigarette butts all over the floor in the house that he was supposed to be a smoker and that he was quite addicted to smoking. However, at this time, he was holding the cigarette in a very awkward posture, looking like a complete beginner.
But after the two benefactors sat down, their eyes were invariably attracted to the hanging rope hanging in the center of the roof.
He Xin followed their gazes and looked at the noose, and spoke slowly: "I'm over thirty, I don't have a fixed job, I can't pay the rent; I'm an actor, I can't even perform well as an extra; I have an old face, and my name is Called Xiaomeng..."
At the end of the sentence, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's okay to want to die."
The control of the camera is very interesting. First it is the panorama. When He Xin says, "I am over thirty and I don't have a fixed job," the panorama camera switches to the medium shot and shows Brother Teng, who looks very uncomfortable.
Speaking of "cannot pay the rent," the camera moved to show Jiang Qinqin looking thoughtfully at the noose, implying that she paid the rent.
When "As an actor, you can't even perform well as an extra", the camera shifted to Brother Teng again. Following He Xin's self-deprecating tone, this guy looked like he was constipated.
Finally, the scene of "It's okay to want to die" finally fell on He Xin.
I saw him holding the lit cigarette awkwardly, pointing to the noose and continuing: "So I hung it back to remind myself."
As he spoke, he took a puff of the cigarette, but was choked by the cigarette. He coughed violently. He looked at the cigarette in his hand, shook his head and sighed: "I even forgot to smoke."
Brother Teng, who was feeling uncomfortable, had to smoke to cover up, and his skillful movements formed a sharp contrast with He Xin's clumsy posture. Moreover, this guy even blew the smoke towards Jiang Qinqin who was sitting next to him as if no one was watching, fully exposing him. of his uneducated nature.
"Well--"
According to the design, Jiang Qinqin should instinctively cover her mouth and nose and look at her with disgust. But at this time, she made a sound of retching. Before Ning Hao could tell him to stop, she had already covered her mouth and ran outside with her legs. .
"Kaka...Kaka! What's going on?"
Several people at the scene looked at each other in confusion. Shen Teng could see it clearly. He pointed at the cigarette in his hand and wondered, "Isn't Teacher Jiang allergic to the smell of cigarettes?"
"Impossible, she used to smoke."
He Xin shook his head. When they first met, Jiang Qinqin was a smoker and would smoke one from time to time on the set. However, it seems that she has rarely been seen smoking in the past two years.
Seeing Jiang Qinqin's appearance, he was not at ease, so he quickly followed her out.
Jiang Qinqin didn't even run out of the studio. Xiao Tang held her in the corner not far from the door and retched.
To be honest, He Xin was a little nervous at first. After all, the scene in front of him looked very familiar to him. This situation also happened to his wife when she was pregnant.
But thinking about it, it seemed impossible, because he had not noticed any trouble in that regard before.
"Sister Qinqin, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?" He ran over and asked with concern.
Jiang Qinqin waved to him with her back on her back, but she couldn't help but her stomach was churning and she was still retching.
"Hey, who is it? Hurry up and get that bottle of water."
A staff member immediately handed over water, and Ning Hao also ran out. After all, the director couldn't sit still when an actor was in this kind of situation.
"how is it going?"
"Director, I'm sorry!"
Jiang Qinqin calmed down a little. She was retching and didn't spit out anything, but her face was still pale with tears. She forced a smile and apologized: "I just can't smell the smell of smoke. I couldn't hold it back for a while... uh,
Let me take a moment first."
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that she could finally speak normally, Ning Hao felt a little relieved. He was considering the progress of the filming. If one of the actors had a headache or fever, the scene would not be able to be filmed.
He Xin stood aside and said uncertainly: "You must have eaten something bad, right?"
"No, I just ate some watermelon." Xiao Tang said.
She hesitated for a moment and then added: "But my sister has indeed been feeling unwell during this time."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier if you weren't feeling well? Have you been to the hospital?" He Xin became anxious upon hearing this.
"It's okay, I know my own body." Jiang Qinqin said with an annoyed look.
She's always been like this lately, she can't control her temper at all times, especially when facing He Xin.
"Uh... how are you doing now? Get in the car and rest for a while."
"It's okay, I'll just take a walk and take it easy."
Seeing Xiao Tang supporting her and walking slowly towards the door, He Xin was stunned for a while and could only shake his head.
"Okay, it's okay." Ning Hao patted his shoulder and winked.
These guys, who had witnessed the close interaction between him and Jiang Qinqin in Chongqing, always felt that the relationship between the two was unusual.
He Xin didn't bother to argue with him, so he thought for a while and said, "How about changing it and stop smoking."
"Huh?"
Ning Hao was surprised. He spread his hands and said, "That's how it was originally designed. How do you think it should be changed?"
"Well……"
It is said that caring leads to chaos. Smoking, drinking, and laziness are the labels of Chen Xiaomeng. This scene will show the strong contrast between him and Zhou Quan, and his smoking behavior itself also conceals his true psychology.
The function of the activity cannot be changed.
Fortunately, Jiang Qinqin touched up her makeup and came back soon.
"Put a little of this on the palm of your hand. The smell of cigarette smoke will be really unpleasant later, so it will relieve your pain." He Xin gave her a box of cooling oil.
When going out to film, especially when the weather is hot, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, cooling oil, Fengyoujing, etc. are all must-haves. Especially for those who love to play, Fengyoujing has other benefits besides refreshing the mind and preventing mosquito bites.
The wonderful use of.
"Well, thank you!"
My nose was not a nose just now, but now I am smiling again. It seems that I am indeed a little mentally disturbed.
He Xin could not help but murmur in his heart.
Fortunately, the lens was taken off relatively smoothly.
After Teng Ge was so angry that he couldn't sit still and ran away in embarrassment, the next scene was the rivalry between the two.
He Xin wanted to leave Brother Teng's contact information, thinking that he would have to repay her medical expenses in the future. When he failed, he quickly wrote down the name of his benefactor Zhou Quan and the owed medical expenses in his notebook.
Jiang Qinqin saw his meticulous memorization, and saw that the originally messy house was tidy, and she felt more and more that he was honest and reliable. She felt that it was necessary to get to know him more deeply, so she took the initiative to invite him to go out for dinner together.
"Stuck! Okay, passed."
After taking a few shots over and over again and adding a few close-ups, today's shooting task was finally completed.
"Sister Qinqin, I... uh, let me find someone to accompany you to the hospital."
He Xin was still very worried. During the filming, he could tell that Jiang Qinqin was indeed a little out of shape. He originally wanted to say that he would accompany her to see her, but when he thought about the identities of the two celebrities, if they appeared in the hospital at the same time, what if?
Being photographed would inevitably lead to trouble, so I had to change my story temporarily.
Jiang Qinqin's expression was also very strange. At first, the corners of her mouth turned up, obviously very happy, but at the end, her face suddenly dropped, and she said in a muffled voice: "Well, no need, I have Xiao Tang here."
"Oh, if anything happens, remember to call me."
He also noticed the other party's dissatisfaction, but some things were always helpless, so he had to watch the two of them leave.
"Sister, are you going to the hospital?" Assistant Xiao Tang said after getting in the car.
"I'm not going. I'm a little sleepy. Let's go home directly." Jiang Qinqin lazily leaned on the back of the chair and yawned.
Xiao Tang looked worried and wanted to persuade her: "You today..."
But as soon as he opened his mouth, his boss interrupted impatiently: "Okay, okay, I know it myself."
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Xiao Tang had no choice but to tell the driver to go home directly.
In fact, Jiang Qinqin is in a very conflicted mood now. Today is the first time that she feels nauseated by the smell of cigarettes. She used to smoke. When she was filming the scene of Aunt Qiong Yao, her work was very intense, day and night. Not only was she physically tired, she was also mentally exhausted.
I was under a lot of pressure and got addicted to smoking at that time.
Maybe other actresses would be very squeamish and couldn't smell the smell of cigarettes, but she never cared. I remember when filming "Qiao's Courtyard", she and Commander Ma often asked He Xin for cigarettes.
That is to say, in the past two years, especially when I saw He Xin starting to quit smoking, I actually quit smoking as if possessed by an evil spirit. This is probably because if you like someone, your behavior will unknowingly resemble that of that person.
Probably because the other party is on the same page.
It was today's accident and Xiao Tang's previous reminder that her aunt had not been here for a long time. These two factors made her realize that there might really be something wrong with her body.
But what's the problem?
Although she was aware of the serious condition in her body, there was a kind of expectation in her heart that was getting stronger and stronger. The reason why she was very reluctant to go to the hospital was because she was worried about what if it was the result she said she expected and the news was leaked.
Chedun Film and Television City is very convenient to her villa community. As she watched the RV drive onto the highway, she finally made up her mind and waved to her assistant: "Xiao Tang."
"Sister, do you want to go to the hospital?" the assistant looked happy.
"Which hospital are you going to? Come here." Jiang Qinqin glanced at the driver who was driving in front of her.
The driver was arranged by the production crew, and he seemed to be quite honest and responsible, but after all, he was not one of our own.
The assistant noticed her look in her eyes, walked over quickly, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, what's going on?"
"..."
To be honest, it's really hard to talk about this matter.
She hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and finally mustered up the courage to whisper something in the assistant's ear.
"ah?"
When Xiao Tang heard the words "pregnancy test stick", his mouth suddenly opened wide and his whole body was shocked.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and immediately covered her mouth and looked at her boss in disbelief. You know that the two of them have been almost inseparable in the past few years, so she was kept in the dark about this kind of thing. In fact, she should have done it a long time ago
It occurred to me that it was because of my boss’s physical condition that even if I had such a thought, it would just pass by and I would not think about it deliberately.
She was still not sure, so she said in a very low voice: "Sister, is it true or false? Are you feeling better?"
Jiang Qinqin frowned, shook her head, and whispered: "I'm just not sure, so I asked you to buy that thing and test it first. If...well, if it's normal, then go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. Just in case...
…, after all, the goal of this kind of thing is too big.”
After thinking about it, she realized that she couldn't hide this kind of thing from her assistant. After all, there were many things that were inconvenient for her to do on her own, so she needed the help of her assistant.
Although her relationship with Xiao Tang is very close, and they have become like biological sisters over the years. But in the final analysis, she does not believe in the maintenance of this kind of relationship. What's more important is that the interests of the two of them are consistent in the showdown with Xiao Tang.
Last time He Xin proposed to her to set up a studio, she discussed it with Xiao Tang. Because Xiao Tang is not only her assistant, but also her executive agent. If a studio is established, the future person in charge must be Xiao Tang.
Tang.
It was precisely this level of interest that made her reveal this secret to Xiao Tang.
While Xiao Tang nodded solemnly, he suppressed the curiosity that was raging in his heart and closed his mouth tightly, but the tall and thin figure in his mind became more and more clear...
