Donggou Village is indeed very simple, with basically no decent houses. Although what is shown in the movie is not a complete picture of the entire Donggou Village, it is actually almost the same.
The crew rented two courtyards, which are considered to be the two best courtyards in Donggou Village. One is the home of the village chief, the other is the home of the richest man in the village, and the other is the home of a small restaurant owner in Fengning. Both of these homes are
It's a big tile-roofed house, which is quite modern, and the boss's house has a TV to watch, which is considered a luxury in the village. In the past, many people would go to the boss' house to watch TV every day, but Zhang Yimou rented it.
After that, few people came to watch TV.
It's not that Zhang Yimou refused, but that everyone was busy watching and filming movies. What's more, Zhang Yimou also brought a color TV and connected a satellite receiver at the village committee. Who would watch the black and white one?
It would be impossible to film in Donggou without establishing good relations with the local villagers. Even if Zhang Yimou is a famous international director, the same thing applies. Television is a benefit to the villagers.
Moreover, the extras in the movie were also from Donggou Village, and they cost ten yuan per person per day. Ten yuan is a huge sum of money for the villagers. No wonder the people in Xishan Village are jealous.
If you want to perform in a group, if you are not from Donggou Village, can you perform in a group? At this time, Zhang Yimou came back with Ye Ming, and the crew finally knew why the boss’s family left one room for the upper room. This boss’s family
There are two upper rooms, one in the east and one in the west. The one on the east is where Zhang Yimou usually lives, and the one on the west has always been empty. Everyone was wondering if it was reserved for Ye Ming. Sure enough, when Ye Ming arrived,
Zhang Yimou pointed to the best house in the village without politeness and said: "Ye Ming, the one to the west is yours."
The other crew and actors of the crew are crowded into other people's homes. Even the heroine Zhang Ziyi actually lives with Aunt Li who plays the grandmother. If you want to have good conditions like the boss's home, then basically
It is impossible to go up. And because the conditions of the boss's house are good, Zhang Yimou also lives here, holds meetings, discusses plots and other things. It all starts in the lobby here. This is something that everyone has become accustomed to for many days.
Ye Ming came in boldly. Sun Honglei, who was sitting aside and reading the script, immediately stood up and said with some restraint: "Mr. Ye, you are here. We are just waiting for you to come. You will give us more guidance in the future."
Sun Honglei is older than Ye Ming, but he is the Golden Horse Best Actor. This title is enough for Ye Ming to guide any actor in the crew to act. Don’t be dissatisfied. He is the first Golden Horse Best Actor in Mainland China and his brand is quite good.
Hard.
Aunt Li also stood up and said: "It's a good thing that Xiaoye is here. It seems that we will have a good celebration tonight." On the contrary, in such a situation, Zhang Ziyi said a little jealously: "Li
Auntie, if we from poor and remote areas want to celebrate, we must have the conditions to celebrate. We can’t celebrate by drinking polenta.”
Aunt Li is also an experienced actor. Naturally, she can understand the sour taste in Zhang Ziyi's words, and it's not just because of the remuneration. This matter is actually not news to the crew, but it was just from the beginning. Zhang Ziyi
The salary for Ye Ming's film is 10,000 yuan, and that for Ye Ming is 20,000 yuan. Ziyi has nothing to say about this. Ye Ming's "Huanzhugege" became a hit, and she became a star in the Spring Festival Gala, so 20,000 yuan is not too much.
However, after the remuneration was changed this time, Zhang Ziyi's salary was still 10,000, but Ye Ming's was 180,000. How can Zhang Ziyi easily accept such a gap? Therefore, these days, Zhang Ziyi
In fact, she had always been depressed, especially when she said that Zhang Yimou did not arrange a room on the west side for her, which made her feel angry. Therefore, after seeing Ye Ming coming, she had no intention of standing up.
In fact, according to the rules in the circle, Ye Ming is the biggest bowler in the movie. Therefore, when he comes over, everyone stands up to say hello. In fact, this is also a rule. Although it is said to be an unspoken rule, no matter what it is.
Actually, basically no one would disobey it. Even the veteran Aunt Li stood up to say hello.
However, Zhang Ziyi sat there as if she was still there, as if she didn't see Ye Ming come in at all. In such a situation, Ye Ming said he was a little unhappy. Rules are rules,
Relying on his good relationship with the director, he not only refused to stand up to say hello, but also said such sour words in a sarcastic manner. This was a challenge to Ye Ming's status.
However, at this time, Zhang Yimou seemed to have heard something in the east room and came out to tell everyone: "We will gather together later to arrange how to film in the afternoon."
This is a relief for Zhang Ziyi. This is actually the case in the crew. The director is the boss. Of course, sometimes, producers or big names can also suppress the director, but when it comes to an international director like Zhang Yimou, then
That is to say, no one dares to suppress him. If anything happens to Zhang Weiping, he has to discuss it with Zhang Yimou. He absolutely dare not say that he will suppress Zhang Yimou to death.
Therefore, Ye Ming also saw that Zhang Yimou wanted to protect Zhang Ziyi, so he didn't say anything more.
Zhang Yimou glanced at the big guy and said: "Let's break up now, Ye Ming, you have just arrived, let's get familiar with your script first. In fact, if everything goes smoothly, your role will basically last for half a month.
"
The father's lines are very few, and may not even be more than those of Sun Honglei. The real protagonist of the movie is the mother played by Zhang Ziyi, who recruits her younger brother, while the father is a green leaf-like existence. In fact, if you look at the script of the father, one
Basically, it’s over if you can’t even use a piece of paper.
On the other hand, some scenes of my father are difficult to grasp. For example, when my father returned to Sanhetun for the first time, he looked back at his mother in the crowd. This can be said to be the first close-up shot of his father in the movie.
, the emotion of this shot is not very well grasped.
As for looking at the script, the first line is actually a voiceover, the voice of his father teaching, but the camera is still given to Zhang Ziyi, which shows that Zhang Yimou's drama is actually praising Zhang Ziyi.
However, Ye Ming has known about this for a long time, so he has no complaints at all about the few lines he has. In fact, the limited scenes have to be truly used, which is a test of people.
At this time, Zhang Ziyi had already said she was leaving, and Sun Honglei came over with the script and said: "Mr. Ye, I have a question here that I would like to ask. I wonder if you have time."
Ye Ming said with a smile: "Brother Sun, you are so polite. This is not the first time we have met. Just call me Ye Ming." Sun Honglei then relaxed his restrained expression and said, "Then I will
That’s a big deal. Brother Ye Ming, I have a shot here. Director Zhang shot it for a long time and took more than ten shots, but Director Zhang didn’t take notice of any of them. Tell me, what is the problem?
"
I pointed out what I didn’t understand to Ye Ming. Ye Ming read the script, and it was actually the same expression I had when I read the news about my father’s death.
Ye Ming thought about it and said, "How did you perform it? Sad expression, crying or something like that?"
Sun Honglei thought for a while and said: "The relationship between father and son, if a son knows that his father has passed away, he will not cry at all. Basically speaking, it is impossible for such a thing to happen. I think everyone is
I’m going to cry.”
Ye Ming immediately asked, "But you were sad, you cried, and the director didn't approve of it. Do you know why?"
Sun Honglei was stunned for a moment, he really didn't think about why.
Ye Ming said without hesitation: "Emotions are the most complex thing. Just like the sky under the autumn moon, they are vast and unfathomable. Everyone's understanding of sadness is different, so the effect of expressing it is also different.
. Let me give you an example of autumn. [The cold moon shines on the clear autumn, the evening breeze carries the red building, a few acacia leaves, the past flows like water, people are like the bright moon, the moon is like sorrow, and sorrow is like frost all over the autumn.]
This poem does not mean the infinite loneliness of autumn at all. However, when you hear this poem, the first thing you think of is the scene of loneliness in autumn. It is sad for spring, Shang and Autumn. In fact, it is nothing more than that. Every word of this poem
, the artistic conception expressed is the artistic conception of autumn. In fact, the same is true for feelings, the way of expression is different, as long as it means expressing one's inner sadness.
You don't have to be sad immediately when you hear the news. It's enough to express your sadness when you see your mother. The visual impact produced in this way is the most powerful.
Shocking. Remember, film is an art, derived from life, but also higher than life. You have to express this in this film."
In fact, crying is not what Zhang Yimou wants. In his previous life, Sun Honglei did not cry when he heard the news. Therefore, Ye Ming concluded that the artistic conception Zhang Yimou wanted to express in such a shot was not actually to let Sun Honglei
Sad, but what I want is a visual impact.
After Ye Ming's reminder, Sun Honglei suddenly realized: "No wonder, no matter how much I cried, I didn't meet the director's requirements. Brother Ye, thank you. I will treat you to dinner when I get back." Although Sun Honglei also knew,
If you invite Ye Ming to dinner, it's hard to say whether he will go and show your respect, but you have to say this.
