This is a medium shot. Li Tang is seen sitting at the table with his arms and legs crossed. He holds the chopsticks in his right hand and takes a big bite of noodles. Without raising his head, he starts eating.
A pot of cold white water noodles gave him the feeling of eating delicacies from mountains and seas.
While eating, I flipped through the newspapers on the table.
After a while, he put down his chopsticks to peel the garlic on the table. Looking at the raw garlic, he took a bite without hesitation.
Oops, that's called a rush, that's called a spicy one.
He didn't show any expression, but he quickly took another big mouthful of noodles and stuffed it into his mouth and pressed it.
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside.
He had a big mouthful of noodles in his mouth, half of which was still in the pot. He stood up from the stool, stuck out his butt, hunched over, looked around the table, found a pair of small scissors, and cut the noodles. He shouted vaguely: "Here we come!" and hurriedly ran out of the camera.
"Okay, passed!"
Li Tang's performance has always been stable, especially the detail he designed of cutting noodles with small scissors, which is both comedic and life-like. For cutscenes like this, Senior Lu usually does it in one shot.
"Young man, you have a good figure!"
Ma Xiaoqin walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
Li Tang glanced at her. He didn't even bother to complain about this sister now.
Today she was wearing a red sleeveless hoodie and a pair of washed blue low-waisted jeans. At first glance, she looked quite plain, but what about the big ESPRIT trademark on the clothes?
Of course, you can say that ESPRIT is just a mass brand, but these days it is not something that ordinary workers can afford.
Also, if the thin gold necklace with a cross pendant on her neck is acceptable, then what about the pair of blinding diamond earrings on her earlobes?
Of course, you can also say that these are all fakes and were bought from automatic batches. But sister, you work as a waiter in the club, not as a lady. Do you need to be so exaggerated?
But since the director didn't say anything, Li Tang naturally wouldn't say anything either. Maybe the director wanted to use this to depict the beauty and fashion of this girl who came to the capital to work, thereby enhancing the sense of deja vu that the girl encountered rape and misfortune.
Seeing that Li Tang remained silent, Ma Xiaoqin pushed him and said, "Hey, I'm talking to you!"
"Sister, I'm miming."
Li Tang turned to look at her and begged: "Senior sister, let's follow the instructions in a moment."
What he is most afraid of now is that this sister will not play her cards according to common sense and will always act on her own initiative, which makes him highly nervous every time.
"What, are you scared?" Ma Xiaoqin said cheerfully.
As he spoke, he bent down on the table in front of Li Tang without any scruples, holding his chin in his hands and looking at him with a smile.
From Li Tang's point of view, through the collar, he could see everything inside. It was so white!
Moreover, this sister’s skin is really good. She is already over 30 years old. There are no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and she is as delicate and smooth as a girl.
He didn't dare to think anything wrong about this person, so he quickly looked away and said helplessly: "Afraid, of course I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch it!"
When Ma Xiaoqin saw Li Tang looking aside deliberately, she may have realized that her behavior was a little inappropriate. She was not embarrassed. Instead, she felt that her junior brother was quite cute. She straightened up with a smile and said, "Okay, then senior sister will do it today." Give you a break."
The second scene was about to start shooting. Li Tang quickly took another mouthful of noodles and took half a clove of garlic in his hand. He walked to the door and opened the door with his slippers on.
Wang Yu followed him all the way carrying the camera.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ma Xiaoqin standing at the door with a big bag and a pair of round sunglasses on her nose. Her eyes were looking at him from above the sunglasses. She looked a bit like Qiu Shuzhen in Zhou Xingxing's version of "The Deer and the Cauldron", with a weird look. .
Seeing Ma Xiaoqin's smiling face, Li Tang was stunned. He quickly chewed the noodles in his mouth and swallowed them. He raised his hand to wipe his mouth.
"It's really hard to find here!"
Li Tang said stupidly: "I really didn't expect it!"
Ma Xiaoqin saw the noodles on his lips and the half clove of garlic in his hand, and suddenly said, "Is this what you usually eat?"
Fortunately, Li Tang was already prepared. He grinned and said stupidly: "Just make peace!"
As he said that, he stepped aside and said, "Come on, come in!"
Ma Xiaoqin couldn't wait to walk into the house. Li Tang closed the door and looked back at her back with inexplicable joy.
"I've been looking for you for several days..."
Ma Xiaoqin placed the huge Adidas luggage bag she was carrying on the table heavily, picked up the cup that Li Tang had just filled with water, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Why are you so thirsty?"
Li Tang walked over, half pulled his body into the mirror, and asked.
This sentence is also not in the script, and it is disrespectful to come back but not reciprocate.
Ma Xiaoqin did not respond immediately, but sat down on the stool, took off her sunglasses, and breathed a long sigh of relief. While taking out the glasses case from the small bag and putting the sunglasses away, she said: "We have been gone for a day. ”
Li Tang followed her words and asked, "Where have these big and small bags gone?"
Ma Xiaoqin did not raise her head, her eyelids were lowered, and she packed the things in her small bag and said, "I haven't gone anywhere. I'm just wandering around the city. I really have nowhere to go..."
At this time, he raised his head and glanced at Li Tang and said, "As an acquaintance like you, I came to your place to rest for a while."
The biggest feature of Ma Xiaoqin's performance is her naturalness. When the two of them talk in front of the camera, it is difficult to find traces of her performance. No wonder Li Jiaxuan couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to withdraw, the gap was so big!
"What happened to you at the club?" Li Tang asked again.
He had gone to the club to look for the other party before, but he couldn't find him, so he knew something was wrong.
Ma Xiaoqin lowered her head, pursed her lips, and remained silent for two seconds before raising her head and saying, "I scratched someone's face."
"why?"
Ma Xiaoqin took off the burgundy wig on her head, straightened her neat short hair, and said with confused eyes: "I don't know what happened to me. My mind was in a mess at the time. I'm really scared when I think about it now."
"Are you afraid they will retaliate against you?"
"Well, there are indeed people following me lately, maybe those two people."
"It can't be that big guy, right?" Li Tang thought for a while and asked.
When Ma Xiaoqin was raped, there were two gangsters, one tall and one short. With the help of Lei Haiyang, the police had already caught the short guy, leaving only the big guy missing.
Ma Xiaoqin tilted her head, moved her lips, and said after a while: "The big man is dead."
"died?"
"Drown."
"Okay, stop!"
After Senior Lu shouted to stop, he then said: "Guarantee one!"
He couldn't find anything obviously wrong. He just wanted to see if there were other possibilities for the two actors.
Of course, this is a prerequisite for meeting good actors.
If you encounter poor performance, as long as you make no mistakes or can barely pass the level, Bodhisattva will bless you. Therefore, a good movie must have a good script, a good director and a good actor, all of which are indispensable.
…
At the end of August, in the middle of July on the lunar calendar, the weather is still very hot.
Taking advantage of the rare clear skies in the past few days, the crew stepped up their efforts to shoot the outdoor scenes. After four days of drilling in the ravines along the 110 National Highway, they finally completed the planned outdoor scenes.
After finishing work, Li Tang slumped in his seat and was exhausted from running in the mountains for a day. The arm that had just been disinfected with iodine was burning with pain.
These past few days have been the hardest for him. Sometimes he is running and chasing scenes, sometimes he is hiding in the bushes, and sometimes he lies down in the bright sun for an hour or two. It is really tiring.
Today when we were filming a chase scene, someone inadvertently missed his footing and rolled down the hillside. It scared Mr. Lu and the on-site staff to death. Fortunately, the hillside was not high, so no hands or feet were broken. A large piece of skin was scratched on his arm.
The conditions in the field are limited, so we can only disinfect with iodine and then simply bandage it.
National Highway 110 is the main road from Beijing to Zhangjiakou, Inner Mongolia and Ningxia. After Changping, there is the continuous Yanshan Mountains. As soon as the crew's van left the mountainous area, Li Tang's cell phone rang in his trouser pocket.
In the past two months, China Mobile has just launched a caller ID service, which costs an extra ten yuan per month. Li Tang took out his new Motorola CD928+ flip phone, the latest model, and took a look at the screen that displayed all Chinese characters. Nai'an's name was clearly on it.
"Hello……"
As soon as he connected the phone, he heard Nai'an's anxious voice: "I've been calling all day and finally got through. Where are you?"
"We're filming. There's no signal in the mountains. Sister An, what's the matter?"
Speaking of the relationship between him and Nai'an, the actor and manager, it's really strange. They basically don't contact each other when nothing happens. Li Tang remembered that the last time he contacted her was a month ago. He told Nai'an that he was going to join the group. At that time, she was filming a TV series that reflected the theme of township enterprises in the countryside of Hebei, and she played the leading female role.
Nai'an asked anxiously on the phone: "Then when will you finish work?"
"We've finished the work. The car has just driven out of the mountains and I just received your call."
"That's good."
Nai'an breathed a long sigh of relief and added: "I have just returned to the capital. Today I made an appointment with Xinman and her husband to have dinner together. You'd better join them."
Xinman is Nai'an's best friend and a director at CCTV News Channel, while her husband is Zhang Jizhong, a recently famous TV series director and producer.
At the last Huabiao Awards ceremony, Nai An told Li Tang that Zhang Jizhong was preparing to film a martial arts drama by Mr. Jin Yong. Unfortunately, Zhang Jizhong went to Hong Kong to discuss copyright matters with Mr. Jin Yong and was unable to meet him.
