Dinner is arranged in a restaurant of a local three-star hotel. These days, most four- and five-star hotels are concentrated in urban areas, and the best ones in the suburbs are generally three-star.
In fact, only locals like Li Tang know whether the food in a hotel restaurant is good-looking or not. To really taste good food, you have to find a restaurant with a large flow of people on the street.
Fortunately, the hotel restaurant is quiet and there are no other people to disturb us.
Today, Zhou Ping and Jiang Xuerou invited the five leading actors Jiang Qinqin, Zhao Wenzuo, Liu Ximing, Yu Li, and Li Tang, as well as the director, photographer and other behind-the-scenes creatives. A large round table with fourteen people was full.
Only Wang Yan didn't come. Kuotai never liked socializing, and she took good care of herself. If there was no night show, she usually went to bed early at night. Of course, when she reaches this level, she doesn't have to force herself to deal with others, and she really lives a life of freedom.
What is freedom? Freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but not doing anything you don't want to do.
The dinner menu is very rich, mostly local specialties. The crew has been busy filming since the filming started. It is a rare opportunity to relax, and everyone has to exchange cups and cups.
Li Tang is a new member of the group, and it is his first time to have dinner with everyone. After serving the table, I looked around and found that except for a few ladies who were more reserved, the few Taiwanese guys who were shouting and drinking didn't actually drink much, and none of them could drink. So they let go and basically accepted everyone who came. Against five, you can do it with ease.
Zhao Wenzhuo is a very funny guy. He always has a cool expression on the set. Moreover, this guy is a tall man from the Northeast who is 1.76 meters tall. Like Wu Jing, he comes from a martial arts family, is a national martial arts champion, and is a martial arts athlete. At first glance, he must have a heavy drinking capacity. But as a result, after two glasses of beer, his face turned red, and he continued to be courteous to Jiang Qinqin, who was sitting next to him.
Li Tang was sitting with a group of Taiwanese, and he and Jiang Qinqin were facing each other across the table, as if they were having a drink under the lamp and watching the beauty.
Sometimes I have to admire Aunt Qiong Yao's vision. The second generation Qiong girls from the mainland, Chen Hong and Jiang Qinqin, look alike but not alike. For example, their faces are very similar. They are not oval faces according to modern aesthetics, but the angular hexagonal faces that are standard for classical Chinese beauties.
The difference is that their exquisite facial features represent two types of beauties. Jiang Qinqin's facial features tend to be bright. The most beautiful thing is her eyebrows. Her eyebrows are high and there is a slight turning between the eyebrows on her forehead. Her eyes are large and energetic, with parallel double eyelids and moderate width. , the inner corners of the eyes are pointed slightly downward, and the outer corners of the eyes are raised, which is a standard fox eye.
Paired with the round lips, at first glance, it gives people a feeling of innocence and ignorance. From her body, you can see the natural and pitiful movements.
Moreover, her skin is so white and delicate that the small mole on her neck looks even more eye-catching, and at the same time she has a different kind of sex appeal.
Seeing that it was almost done, the attentive Brother Zhao was a little sleepy. Only then did Li Tang have the opportunity to raise a drink with Jiang Qinqin who was sitting opposite: "Shui Ling, happy cooperation!"
"Brother Li Tang, happy cooperation!"
Jiang Qinqin was a little tipsy at this time, and her white and rosy face was really cute. After taking a sip, he added: "Brother Li Tang, please call me Qinqin."
It can be heard that she doesn't seem to be interested in the stage name Shuiling. And when she calls herself, she is different from others. Generally, the person who is called Brother Li the most by peers, but she calls him by both her first name and surname, which seems to be a bit repulsive to the title of Brother Li.
Oh, Li Tang suddenly remembered that it was probably because her second-generation director boyfriend, no, she should call her ex-boyfriend now, also had the surname Li.
Think about how blind her ex-boyfriend named Li was. He would actually break up with such a beautiful girlfriend! Oh, that's right, after four years of being together, no matter how beautiful your girlfriend is, she will lose her freshness.
Or perhaps seeing his girlfriend's career flourishing has shattered the proud second-generation director's fragile self-esteem. Coupled with the fact that they get together less and stay apart more often, breakup becomes inevitable.
In fact, these second-generation directors, including Director Xiao Teng whom Li Tang knew, are all awesome and coaxing. They all look like they are artists. They boast more and more exaggeratedly than the others. Even director Zhang Yimou’s I dare to criticize the works. It’s always about what would happen if I took the photo.
…
The first half of "New Cut Plum Blossoms" has almost been shot, and Li Tang specifically asked director Ding Yangguo to see some of the filming materials. He originally thought that the script was bloody enough, but he didn't expect that the film would be even more bloody.
For example, the affectionate scumbag attributes of Zhao Shijun played by Zhao Wenzuo and the dedication type of Shen Xinci played by Jiang Qinqin are vividly displayed.
For example, the villain Liang Yongchang, played by Liu Ximing, was deeply in love with Shen Xinci, but at the same time caused her family to be destroyed; he failed to taint Shen Xinci, and then turned around to taint the mayor's daughter, but the mayor's daughter took his overbearing hardon. The way to go up the bow is full of various tricks. It is simply the ancestor of PUA.
Compared with the filming of "Returning the Pearl II", Aunt Qiong Yao's text could not be changed, but "Xinyijianmei" can be freely used.
As long as the changes are reasonable and fit the character, any change is fine.
Two days later, Li Tang finally went on stage to film.
This scene is about Zhengyang and Xiuyun making a private decision in Bao Gong Temple. Then Zhao Shijun was worried that the kind-hearted Xiuyun would be like her mother with a dedicated personality, always hoping that her lifelong affairs would help others, so he urged her and Zhengyang to marry each other. Yang wants to get married as soon as possible and cook the rice as soon as possible.
The weather was very cold during this time, and the crew also thoughtfully prepared him with a brown and white vertical striped turtleneck sweater, a suede short coat on top, khaki casual pants and Martin boots underneath.
Jiang Qinqin wore a pure white turtleneck sweater with a white horse skirt and a pink cashmere coat.
As for whether there were such fashionable and mixed-match clothing during the Republic of China, it doesn't matter.
"Cut!"
"Shui Ling, don't be too tight, and let go a little. Xiuyun is a seventeen-year-old girl who has just begun to have a love interest. She should be unrestrained and don't hold back too much."
After the first shot was taken, director Ding Yangguo was not satisfied.
Jiang Qinqin plays two roles. This is her first time playing Xiuyun. Maybe it was because she had been filming a scene where she played Shen Xinci, and she was always immersed in sad emotions, and she felt a little unable to get out of it for a while.
"I understand, director."
"Okay, come again."
"Action!"
…
"Cut! Shui Ling, I'm still not emotional enough!" Ding Yangguo said helplessly.
Making a TV series is no different than making a movie. Making a movie requires striving for excellence and pursuing various possibilities. You can often shoot more than ten or twenty shots for one shot, or even shoot for one day.
But TV dramas are all about efficiency. One episode lasts two days. This is a task that must be completed. There is no time for you to find your feelings over and over again.
Unexpectedly, this scene is Xiuyun's first scene as an adult, and it is a life-long private arrangement with her childhood sweetheart Zhengyang. It is considered an important scene and cannot be compromised.
"Director, give me a few minutes to adjust my mood."
Jiang Qinqin was also very anxious. She knew what her problem was, but she just couldn't adjust. She easily fell into Shen Xinci's mood while acting.
Ding Yangguo was helpless and could only say: "Okay, let's take a ten-minute break."
Jiang Qinqin's assistant Xiao Tang quickly ran over and put a long down jacket on her, then unscrewed the thermos pot, used the lid as a cup, and poured a cup of steaming coffee. The whole set of movements was so smooth that Li Tang was stunned for a moment, feeling that the little Tang in front of him was much more capable than Wang Yan's little assistant. Moreover, the aroma of the coffee stimulated his sense of smell, and a lot of saliva suddenly secreted from his mouth.
When Jiang Qinqin turned her head, she saw Li Tang looking straight at the coffee in her hand. She immediately smiled and told her assistant: "Xiao Tang, pour a cup for Brother Li Tang too."
Xiao Tang pursed her lips, reluctantly opened her big treasure chest-like bag, searched for it for a long time, and said helplessly: "I forgot to bring the disposable cup."
Li Tang felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Forget it, forget it."
Jiang Qinqin took the lid of the cup, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it over and said, "Brother Li Tang, if you don't mind it, just use this."
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it." Li Tang said hurriedly.
He really didn't have any other thoughts at this time. The weather was so cold, and there was nothing more comfortable and happy than drinking a cup of hot coffee.
He hurriedly took it, not even pouring out the remaining juice left by Jiang Qinqin. He leaned in front of Xiao Tang and said with a smile: "Xiao Tang, pour some."
Xiao Tang, who looked reluctant, had no choice but to pour him half a cup, but the guy actually said: "Pour it full, don't be stingy!"
The actors were acting, and the assistants often communicated in private when they had nothing to do. Li Tang's reputation for often eating and drinking at Wang Yan's place had long been spread, and Xiao Tang felt that this person was really thick-skinned.
Li Tang drank his coffee happily. The scene just now was not difficult for him at all. After the baptism of "Returning the Pearl II", he has long been well versed in the performance routines of this kind of bloody drama, which is nothing more than exaggeration and exaggeration, so that the audience can feel the intense emotional fluctuations in your heart through the screen.
The problem with Jiang Qinqin just now was that she was too restrained, which not only deviated from the theme but was incompatible with Li Tang's performance.
At this time, Jiang Qinqin was anxious. She first took a deep breath to calm her emotions, and then muttered words back and forth. It seemed that the break time was coming, but she still had no idea.
"Qinqin, thank you!"
It happened that Li Tang finished drinking the coffee, returned the cup lid to Xiao Tang, and said thank you to Jiang Qinqin at the same time.
Jiang Qinqin turned to look at him and suddenly remembered, yes, the person in front of her was the winner of the Huabiao Film Newcomer Award and had been nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor. Moreover, his performance just now was obviously very capable.
So he asked for help as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Brother Li Tang, what do you think I should do?"
"Laugh! Happy!"
Li Tang only has two words.
Jiang Qinqin frowned and said, "I know, but I always feel that it's too fake and I can't help it."
She is used to acting in Qiong ballad operas, and her inner drama has always been rich. She is used to putting herself into the characters, and all her performances are driven by emotions. Now she couldn't help but laugh and be happy, which made her very uncomfortable.
Li Tang understood and understood that this person was still an experientialist.
He pondered for a moment and said, "How about I take you?"
This is a drama with a major female protagonist, and all the focus of the main scene is on her. Zheng Yang, played by Li Tang, is just a foil. But if he is allowed to take it with him, then the primary and secondary relationship will change.
Jiang Qinqin didn't care at all. She had many scenes anyway, so she didn't care about this one or two. She hurriedly said: "Okay, then how do we act?"
"Well……"
Li Tang looked at her pink lips and said seriously: "I think we can add a kiss scene..."
