The heroine has finally arrived. This is a familiar face. She has played the role of the Scorpion Spirit in "Journey to the West" and the Lady Zhu Rong in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". She also appeared in the late 1980s and early 1990s. There are many so-called commercial films with mainland characteristics.
Li Yunjuan has big eyes, plump lips, straight nose bridge, and clear facial contours. Coupled with her slightly wheat-colored complexion, she is very exotic. But he is an out-and-out Beijing native, coming from a Peking Opera family.
In the play, she plays the female owner of a hotel, a single mother with a child. Her hotel is the most important stop for the three of them during the escort process. Because of his relationship with fellow villagers, Li Gongan took special care of the female boss, often helping with work and educating the children. For this reason, the female boss fell in love with the simple and capable Li Gongan.
Movies always have to have some love elements. Publican Li is a civil servant. Although he is older, he is secure, considerate and willing to work. The female boss takes care of her children alone. It is not stable to open a small hotel. She especially needs a man to cover her. Keep out the wind and rain. This kind of love is particularly realistic and simple.
In fact, the biggest feature of this movie is its realism. For example, in a scene on a long-distance bus that was filmed before, the grumpy driver often cursed at the conductor. Although the conductor was not convinced, he did not dare to reply, so he could only roll his eyes secretly. And he said bad things about the female boss who was flirting with the driver.
These days, the driver is a skilled person, and he is the boss with the steering wheel in his hands, while the conductor can do the job for anyone. In order to purchase large and small bags, the female boss needs to please the driver, all for survival. The conductor was angry and needed a target to vent to, so the female boss who was flirting with the driver became the best target.
However, the car broke down and the driver was helpless. Yu Tai, played by Brother Biao, used to repair the car. He only took a quick look and found that the engine oil was leaking. He needed to add a piece of gasket, but this did not make sense. Yes, where can I find a piece?
Yu Taicheng, who knows how to repair cars, has become a celebrity. In order not to delay everyone on their way, the driver calls him "brother" and carries water, but Li Gong'an and Zhang Gong'an let the driver shout around and move rocks, which makes the two people I felt extremely unhappy.
But there was no other way. Li Gongan asked Yu Tai to find a way quickly. In fact, the thief Yu Tai had long been dissatisfied with Zhang Gongan who often scolded him, so he said there was only one way, to cut a piece of leather from Zhang Gongan's new leather shoes and insert it. Just stay. This made Mr. Zhang, who was still showing off his new pair of leather shoes in the morning, extremely depressed. But there was nothing he could do. He only had the leather shoes he was wearing, so he had no choice but to part with them.
The car was repaired and could continue to move forward, but Mr. Zhang's new leather shoes turned into sandals.
Yu Tai, who was the biggest contributor to the repair of the car, was sitting in front and flirting with the beautiful female boss. It was as if only the strongest in a group had the right to mate. The driver was not angry at all. Only the depressed Officer Zhang felt extremely unbalanced when he saw this scene. He called Yu Tai over and took out the handcuffs and cuffed Yu Tai.
There was a sudden silence in the carriage.
Yu Tai, who had been so prosperous just now, suddenly withered, while Zhang Gongan, who had been depressed all the way, held his chest and head high, and suddenly regained his confidence.
This scene reflects the life of the common people at the bottom, and every little character is particularly vivid. The relationship between the characters is progressive layer by layer, a bit like the big fish eating the small fish and the small fish eating the shrimp. The driver is a big fish, the conductor is a small fish, and the passengers in the car are naturally shrimps. And because Yu Tai repaired the car, he successfully promoted from Xiami to a bigger fish.
But at the end, when Public Security Zhang, played by Li Tang, showed his handcuffs, the audience was immediately shocked. In fact, Mr. Zhang is also a small person, but he is a small person with public power.
Speaking of this, Li Tang especially admired Brother Biao and the new heroine. One was born in Hebei and grew up in the capital, and the other was a native of the capital, but they could handle Shaanpu easily.
Brother Biao told him that dialect is a basic skill for actors in their art troupe. For example, their railway art troupe has to perform at grassroots condolences from time to time. If you don't speak dialect, you will be down-to-earth, and it will be easier to win the welcome of the grassroots workers. Of course, they are better at northern dialects, but they are much worse at southern dialects. But Brother Biao can speak Shanghainese because his mother is from Ningbo.
In fact, it is not difficult to learn Shaanxi Pu. As long as you master the tones of Shaanxi dialect and bring in a few specific words, such as "hungry", "咹马", "嘹咹lie", "guacoin", etc., it will be interesting. What's more, there is also Mr. Ge, a native of Xi'an, in the group. He occasionally pronounces incorrectly and can correct his mistakes in time.
…
"Cut!"
Although director Qi Xin has been a small cadre of the General Administration before, becoming a director is quite new, and speaking of cuts and actions is a slippery slope.
Today was a night scene, but Li Tang, who had always been stable, had a problem and failed to take five or six shots in a row.
Just halfway through filming this one, Qi Xin shouted to stop.
"Xiao Li, your mood is wrong. You should relax a little more. You must have a mental advantage when facing Teacher Ge."
Li Tang nodded, he understood the logic, but that was not the case in the performance. He was also helpless. The key was that he had no experience in this aspect of life and had no way to learn from it. He could only rely on imagination to act.
"Director, give me some time to think about it again."
Then he apologized to Mr. Ge Zhijun, who played the opposite role, and Brother Biao, who was acting as a backdrop, and said, "Teacher Ge, Brother Biao, I'm sorry!"
"It's okay, it's okay." Mr. Ge is just like Mr. Li in the play, a good old man.
But Brother Biao got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and came over and said, "I think you're a little over the top, why don't you go out and have a cigarette to relax, and come and help you calm down when you're hungry?"
"Uh, thank you, Brother Biao."
"Thank you no matter what, they are all my brothers." Brother Biao laughed, patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the room together.
Because the budget for the script was limited, there was no way to set up a scene for indoor shooting, so I found a house in the old town of Yulin, and the artists and props were sorted out and turned into a small hotel.
In the movie, Li Tang and Mr. Ge are both heavy smokers. This is in line with the special nature of public security work. The props are all locally made cheap cigarettes. Li Tang is not used to smoking, so there is nothing he can do about it during the filming, but he often carries it in his pocket to smoke. of smoke.
He has always smoked Sanwu, which used to be smuggled cigarettes from his father. Nowadays, tobacco companies sell them, and there are many kinds of Sanwu, including old Sanwu, some with special alcohol, and Li Tang now smokes It's the wide version of the international three-five, one hundred and eighty-one.
In mid-November, the night temperature in the northwest had dropped to about zero degrees. A cold wind blew by, and Li Tang couldn't help but shiver, but his chaotic mind suddenly became clearer. He took out his wide Sanwu, handed one to Brother Biao, and then took one himself. Brother Biao took out a lighter and lit it on fire to help him light it, then lit it himself, took a deep breath, and puffed out a cloud of smoke. Then he looked at Li Tang, who had a sad look on his face, and said, "You, that's it." Too pretentious. Maybe you haven’t experienced this kind of thing before, right?”
Li Tang was stunned, are you holding it?
This scene is mainly about three people returning from bathing in a bathhouse. Yu Tai, played by Brother Biao, went to bed early, while he and Mr. Ge were chatting in the room. During the process, Mr. Ge said that when he retired, he would work in the karaoke bar owned by his family, looking after the door. Li Tang concealed it by saying that it was run by his second aunt. Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone would understand that it was actually run by his family, the kind that sits on the stage, using his status as a policeman to act as a protective umbrella.
Because there was a sentence at the end of the script, he was moved by Mr. Ge and told his second aunt to close the karaoke bar when he returned. If it wasn't from his family, he definitely couldn't be the master.
Then he also laughed at Mr. Ge's inability to do the job of looking after the door, because the people who look after the door in the karaoke hall are called door maids. They are all beautiful girls, and they have water in their eyes, and they can tell who is the boss at a glance. It implies that Mr. Ge has no expression.
The premise of this conversation is that while the two were taking a bath in the bathhouse, they talked about how Zhang Gong'an's uncle, played by Li Tang, is the county's financial director, and Zhang Gong'an's uncle and Li Gong'an, played by Mr. Ge, are comrades in arms. A group of demobilized soldiers Back. Now Mr. Zhang's uncle is already the chief financial officer, while Mr. Li is still a small policeman, which illustrates the difference.
In addition, Gongan Li also asked Gongan Zhang's uncle to find a job for his daughter, but Gongan Zhang pointed it out to his face, which made Gongan Li very embarrassed.
It is not difficult to interpret here. Mr. Li must have been a tough policeman who did not show favoritism. The result of not following the crowd was to stand still. Maybe now that he is old and has figured it out, it is too late. For the sake of my unemployed daughter, and for my own life after retirement, I have to lower my head and bend down to ask for help. Only I know how it feels.
From Li Tang's perspective, because of this incident and the escort process, Public Security Li always acted like a good guy and looked down on him, so his attitude was condescending and full of superiority.
But at this time, Fu Biao was speaking too seriously, and Li Tang was a little dissatisfied.
His family runs a restaurant, and he once witnessed Lao Li begging for help, and what the other person showed was the same behavior he had just acted.
He himself thought his performance was correct, but the director was dissatisfied and thought he was not emotional enough. But he couldn't refute it, because the environment was different and the characters were different. He just moved the emotions he thought were closest to them. To put it bluntly, I am still acting based on my imagination, which is not convincing enough.
"Then how to act?" Li Tang reluctantly asked Brother Biao for advice.
Brother Biao took a puff of cigarette, looked at Li Tang and said, "Do you think Mr. Li told you that he wanted to work in your karaoke bar after retirement? Is this his true intention?"
"Is not it?"
Li Tang was stunned, how could he understand it from beginning to end, not to mention the director didn't say anything.
Brother Biao shook his head and said, "No, he is just reminding you tactfully in this way."
