"Oh, I can finally take a break."
As soon as the director left, Fan Xiaopang slumped lazily on the chair, and the others did the same, taking advantage of the gap to sit down and rest, drink water, or move around a little.
The filming schedule for "Little Li's Flying Knife" is very tight. The crew is currently divided into a literary and martial arts group, and they work continuously every day.
For example, today, from early in the morning to now, even during lunch time, including eating and resting, it only took a total of one hour.
There is a row of chairs placed next to the set for the actors to rest. For example, actor Jiao Enjun occupies the best position to avoid wind and light, and there is a heater next to it. He has an assistant who brought a folding canvas chair, which is very comfortable to sit on. And as soon as someone sits down, the assistant quickly hands him a cup of steaming coffee.
Although Yu Feihong did not bring an assistant with him, he was seated next to Jiao Enjun, and the crew would also serve hot tea as soon as possible. This is the treatment of the second female lead.
When it was Fan Xiaopang's turn, she could only sit on the seat next to the door. The chair was a cheap plastic chair often used in food stalls outside. She was holding a pink thermos cup with a Holle Kitty pattern on it and was taking a sip. Sip hot water.
Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed through the corner of her eyes. Although it was just a flash, her heart jumped suddenly at this moment, and then she showed a look of joy - he was here!
"This is director Lu Xiaowei!"
Nai'an introduced to Li Tang the middle-aged man in front of him who wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a mustache and looked very villainous.
"Hello, Director Lu, I'm Li Tang. Please take care of me!" Li Tang quickly stretched out his hands.
Although I had seen photos of Li Tang before, when I met Lu Xiaowei for the first time, I still took a closer look at the young man in front of me. He looked similar to the photo, with handsome appearance and grand features. But at the same time, this young man seems to have an aura of both good and evil that cannot be seen in the photo.
Lu Xiaowei was very satisfied, at least in terms of external conditions, he fit the character of Shangguan Fei very well.
He smiled and shook Li Tang's hand: "Hello!"
At the same time, he also noticed that although the other party was wearing a baseball cap, he probably had a bald head underneath, so he asked, "Just finished filming?"
Directors generally hate when actors interfere with their scenes, especially an old-school director like him, who would consider it disrespectful of the character, no matter how big or small the role is.
Therefore, he asked this question.
Li Tang nodded and said: "Yes, I think it's a help. I just finished filming a graduation film for the 1999 Nortel class."
"Oh, Nortel's graduation project!"
Lu Xiaowei's eyes lit up. Although he was not a serious Nortel graduate, he had attended a further training class in Nortel's directing department as early as the 1980s, and he could be considered a Nortel alumnus.
A smile appeared on his face again, and he specifically asked: "How was the shooting?"
"It's very good. The director, including the other students in the creative team behind the scenes, all have great ideas," Li Tang said.
"It's a great idea. It means you must be very strong in arguments. It's exactly the same as when we were there!" Lu Xiaowei laughed.
Li Tang was very knowledgeable and pretended to be surprised: "Director Lu, are you also from Nortel?"
Before Lu Xiaowei could answer, Nai'an on the side explained jokingly: "Director Lu is from Nortel 83's entrance class."
83-level director training class.
However, the training classes at that time were very different from the training classes today that only charge money without asking the source. At that time, they were all outstanding young directors recommended by various studios and television stations. Lu Xiaowei attended the training class as the director of the Beijing Television Art Center.
Lu Xiaowei was obviously very proud and wanted to brag about himself, but he was also concerned about his current job - after all, he was working for Tai Bazi.
Hey, forget it, a hero doesn’t mention his bravery in the past!
After chatting for a while, Lu Xiaowei said: "Yuan Yidu went on location. Several of the leading actors are here today. Let's get to know each other first."
Although Yuan Baye holds the title of chief director, he is mainly responsible for filming martial arts dramas, while Lu Xiaowei is responsible for all literary dramas.
Li Tang and Nai'an followed Director Lu to the studio next door. He saw Fan Xiaopang among the crowd at a glance, but he was not surprised because he already knew about it when the two talked on the phone before. As a dragster, Pang followed Chiao Enjun in "Little Li's Flying Knife" and played a girl in it.
When the little girl saw Li Tang, she pretended not to recognize him and just winked at him secretly.
"Let's get to know each other. This is actor Li Tang from Shanghai Drama Center, who plays Shangguan Fei." Lu Xiaowei introduced Li Tang to everyone.
"This is our leading actor Jiao Enjun, who plays Xiao Li Feidao Li Xunhuan."
"Hello, Mr. Jiao!" Li Tang hurriedly extended his hand.
After all, he is the top young boy in Aunt Qiong Yao’s company, a handsome guy! It's just that the shape is a bit weird, with an instant noodle head on top.
"Hello!" Jiao Enjun shook hands with him politely.
Then the second one is an actress with relatively high cheekbones, who looks a bit mature, but has a very unique temperament.
"This is Yu Feihong, a teacher from the Beidian Acting Department, who plays the role of Yang Yan, the Jinghong Fairy."
"Hello, Teacher Yu!"
"Hello!"
Teacher Yu’s smile is very generous and calm.
"This Wu Jing plays Ah Fei."
Oh, the person in front of me is dressed like a red envelope, wearing a bright red costume, a high ponytail, and what's even more exaggerated is a golden tie on his forehead.
"Wu..."
Li Tang didn't know what to call him for the moment. He had a baby face and was too young.
"Call me Wu Jing, hello Li Tang!"
This guy spoke well of Beijing movies, took the initiative to shake his hand, and spoke crisply.
"Wu Jing, hello!"
When Li Tang shook hands, he found that his hands were rough and very strong.
Well, it turned out to be Lian Jiazi, Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang!
"This is Fan Binbin, who plays Yang Yan's maid Xing'er... Hey, you two should know each other, right?"
When Fan Xiaopang was introduced at the end, Lu Xiaowei belatedly remembered that Li Tang had also acted in "Return of the Pearl II".
Li Tang smiled and said, "We just worked together."
"Hehe, hello, Teacher Li!"
The sound of "Teacher Li" made everyone look at him.
Li Tang looked at her helplessly: "Xiao...er, Xiao Fan, why do you always play the role of a maid?"
The proud smile on Fan Xiaopang's face suddenly froze. Before he could reply, he heard Lu Xiaowei clapping his hands and shouting: "Okay, everyone knows each other, let's continue filming."
Fan Xiaopang looked resentful and made a grinning face towards Li Tang.
Li Tang gave her a curled expression in return.
"Hey, you have a good relationship with this little girl?" Nai An couldn't help but ask after seeing this scene.
"Well, the relationship is okay. She works hard."
Nai'an didn't mean to gossip. He couldn't take his eyes away from Fan Xiaopang and said with emotion: "This little girl is so beautiful. She was born to eat this bowl of rice."
Li Tang joked: "She is currently signed by Aunt Qiong Yao's company, how about you poach her over?"
Nai'an really thought about it, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'd better not delay others."
As Lu Xiaowei said "start", the live performance began.
This is a group play between the four fairies Yang Yan, Myolie, Li Xunhuan and A Fei.
First, it started with Myolie threatening to kill someone domineeringly, which led to a long speech by Li Xunhuan. Yang Yan agreed. A Fei further interpreted Li Xunhuan's words and expressed his admiration at the same time. Only Xing'er was unconvinced and quarreled with Ah Fei. In the end, of course, Li Xunhuan made the final decision and settled the quarrel between the two.
This scene was not in the original work, it was created out of thin air by the screenwriter. Regardless of whether the lines were too mother-in-law or not, just by looking at the actors' performances, Li Tang had a general idea.
The male lead Jiao Enjun can only be said to be quite satisfactory. He has the most lines, but his line skills are very average.
Fan Xiaopang tends to steal the spotlight, but she can't change her unnecessary little movements like shaking her head, frowning and shaking her head.
Of course, she is not the worst. The one who is worse than her is Wu Jing, who has a baby face and pretends to be mature. He speaks lines as if he is memorizing text, which is very funny.
It seems that he still has a long way to go before reaching Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.
At this level, Lu Xiaowei actually shouted. It seems that Director Lu has completely failed.
The only highlight of this scene is probably Yu Feihong. Her performance is very restrained, and every change of expression is just right, not abrupt, and very smooth.
