"Cut!"
Dai Sijie stood up from behind the portable monitor and said helplessly: "Chen Kun, you are not in the right mood!"
"I'm sorry, director, I'll try again." Chen Kun said hurriedly.
His attitude is good, but he has taken more than a dozen shots of this simple shot, and it feels like one shot is not as good as the other.
Li Tang, who was also sitting next to him shirtless, was speechless at this time. In fact, as soon as the filming started today, Li Tang found that his mood was not right and he was absent-minded. Before the filming started, he originally wanted to ask him to have a dialogue with him, but when he saw him like this The status can only be forgotten. As expected, the film was in great condition when the shooting officially started.
Li Tang felt that filming like this was not an option, so he took the initiative and suggested: "How about taking a rest?"
Chen Kun turned his head, with obvious stubbornness in his eyes. Li Tang didn't get used to him, and said calmly: "You are not in good condition now, so you should adjust first."
After saying that, he ignored him, patted his butt, stood up, and said to Dai Sijie: "Director, take a rest."
Li Tang estimated that he must have something on his mind, otherwise he wouldn't have changed his face after answering a phone call yesterday, and then chatted with Zhou Xun for a long time. But if your emotions are disturbed by personal matters and brought to work, it only shows that you are not professional at all.
Dai Sijie had already meant this, but Chen Kun kept asking to continue and couldn't say anything. At this time, of course, he nodded and said: "Okay, let's rest for ten minutes."
Ten minutes is enough time for a professional actor to adjust his mood.
At this time, Zhou Xun, who had been watching, took the initiative to walk to Chen Kun's side, and the two of them started talking in whispers.
"Lee, have one."
French photographer Michel handed over a cigarette.
The poor condition of the actors is also a kind of torture for the behind-the-scenes staff such as photography and lighting.
Almost all the French people on the crew smoke, and they are quite addicted to it. In addition, Dai Sijie is also a long-time smoker. After staying on the crew for a long time, Li Tang has also become addicted to smoking, and he comes here whenever he has nothing to do. One stick.
Originally, the French people smoked their own cigarettes at first, but they followed the local customs, and now they pass cigarettes to each other very smoothly.
This guy Michelle is quite funny. When Li Tang first joined the group, this guy probably heard from Zhou Xun that he knew Chinese Kung Fu, so he wanted to learn from him. He also said that he had learned boxing and Chinese Kung Fu.
Not to mention, this guy's posture is really impressive.
Li Tang knew his own level. If he really encountered a tough fight, he would be the only one who would suffer the loss, so he didn't want to compete with him. Later, I was really troubled by this guy and had no choice but to agree, and I had a word in advance: until the point is made.
As a result, this guy only had an empty frame, and the silver gun and wax tip were useless. Li Tang knocked him down as soon as he faced him. The so-called Chinese Kung Fu he learned is just like the Cai Li Fuquan that Li Tang learned in his previous life. It is only good but useless.
In fact, most foreigners have relatively simple minds. They may seem to be full of superiority at first, but as long as you convince them, they will talk to you well, and even want to make friends with you.
What should I say about Li Tang because of his past life experience and his ability to speak French? After all, they have more in common with these Westerners than the average Chinese, or they have more in common with these Westerners, either in terms of speech, behavior, or temperament, and are more easily accepted by these foreigners.
This is especially true for Michelle. The two of them chatted very congenially when they had nothing to do. He asked Li Tang for Chinese Kung Fu lessons, and Li Tang learned some photography skills from him.
Having said that, Michelle's photography skills are quite impressive.
"Hey, Li, what's going on with Chen today?"
"Maybe he's not in good condition."
"He was probably too nervous and needed to go to the bar to relax."
Zhangjiajie is a tourist city. There are quite a few bars, KTVs, etc. in the city. These French people are restless and want to go out to have fun every now and then, and they inevitably bring girls back. Although the Chinese people feel uncomfortable seeing this kind of thing, after all, it is consensual, and it is hard for others to say anything.
The ten-minute rest time passed by in a flash, and I don't know what Zhou Xun said to Chen Kun. When Li Tang walked back, his mood improved a lot, and he said sincerely: "Brother Li, I'm sorry, it's my question."
Li Tang, who was always concerned about the situation and not the person, softened his tone and said: "It's okay, just adjust your mood."
This scene is about Luo Ming, played by Chen Kun, whose father is sick. After learning the news, he asked the captain for two months' leave to go back to visit relatives. The little tailor played by Zhou Xun learns about the situation and insists on catching a turtle from Phoenix Mountain for Luo Ming to take back to replenish his father's health.
While the little tailor was catching turtles, Luo Ming asked Ma Jianling to help watch over the little tailor while he was away to prevent others from taking advantage of him.
What was taken at this time was the scene where Luo Ming asked Ma Jianling for help.
Li Tang saw that Chen Kun seemed a little nervous at this time, and said: "Don't be too nervous. Find something to do for a while. Don't make eye contact. It's just not easy to speak at first, but as long as you start, you will be able to do it later." The more you talk, the smoother it becomes, do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Kun, who had received four years of acting training, could certainly understand it, but he did not blindly believe what Li Tang said. Instead, he went through it carefully based on what Li Tang said. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "Well, I Give it a try, thank you Brother Li."
"It's okay, as long as I can survive, I'm still thinking about eating turtle tonight." Li Tang smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
In order to shoot today's scene, the script specifically asked a local fellow to buy a turtle. Li Tang originally grew up in a land of plenty, and his family owns a restaurant, specializing in river fresh food. He can tell at a glance whether a soft-shelled turtle is wild.
The turtle bought by the crew had sharp claws, obvious spots on its back, and a snow-white bottom. It looked wild at first glance, and it was fat and big.
Li Tang has now finished losing weight. As long as he maintains his current weight, it is not a big problem to indulge once in a while. So he had already agreed with the props in advance that the turtle would be his after the filming was over, and he would have the restaurant prepare a steamed turtle dish and have a drink with the brothers.
Chen Kun became angry now, nodded and said: "Brother Li, I will not delay you from eating turtle tonight."
"Okay, all units are ready..."
"Action!"
As the recorder hit the board, Chen Kun was still playing with the two roasted corns, while Li Tang took a wooden stick and pounded it into the big corn cob, and then took the wooden stick to roast it.
"I want to ask you a favor."
Chen Kun said casually while playing with the corn.
"What's going on?"
Li Tang responded without raising his head.
Although Li Tang has lost a lot of weight in the camera, and his bulging chest muscles and well-defined abdominal muscles now look very smooth, the muscles in his arms are still bulging when he exerts force.
After all, the muscles in the arms of educated youths can still handle the high-intensity physical labor they perform for a long time.
"I want you to visit her every day."
"Why?"
Li Tang stopped what he was doing and turned to look at him in confusion.
Chen Kun looked into the distance and said, "She is the most beautiful girl here. I am afraid that people outside will snatch her away..."
Li Tang first looked at Chen Kun in surprise, then followed his gaze and looked into the distance.
At this time, Chen Kun hurriedly said: "Become a policeman for me."
Then he continued to roast the corn in his hand.
Li Tang's eyes did not move, still looking into the distance.
In the distance here is a pool, and the plot of the story is that the little tailor is swimming in the pool to catch the Phoenix Mountain.
When the two of them were talking about the little tailor, they both looked at the little tailor in the pool.
At this time, Li Tang imagined Zhou Xun like a mermaid in the pool, with a silly look on his face. After a while, he looked back at Chen Kun and said, "That's called surveillance!"
"What is surveillance?"
Chen Kun raised his head and glared at him with a frown, then explained: "She likes reading the most, so just read to her..."
While Chen Kun was speaking, Li Tang's expression became unnatural and his eyes flickered.
The solution here is very simple. He has always been secretly in love with the little tailor, but because of the relationship between Luo Ming and the little tailor, he has been silently afraid to express it. Every time he sees the two of them being intimate, there is always an uncontrollable pain.
This time Luo Ming was leaving, and he was asked to read to the little tailor every day. Subconsciously, he felt a secret joy in his heart. Being able to be with the goddess in his heart every day was a rare happiness for him.
But when he thought about the relationship between Luo Ming and the little tailor, he felt ashamed of his secret joy, and his friend's wife couldn't play with it.
Just when he nodded and was about to agree, Zhou Xun shouted outside the camera: "The snake bit me!"
At this time, Li Tang jumped out as if there was a spring under his butt. Chen Kun also quickly dropped the roasted corn in his hand and ran forward.
"Cut!"
After Dai Sijie called to stop, he watched the replay carefully again, and then shouted with satisfaction: "Passed!"
When everyone heard the shouting, they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Xiao Zhou, get ready."
Zhou Xun, who had been eager to try for a long time, made an OK gesture, stood by the pool, and plunged into the cool water with a sudden movement.
In order to film "Suzhou River", she learned to swim, and now she can swim quite well.
Keep shooting.
Zhou Xun raised a finger and splashed in the water. Li Tang and Chen Kun rushed over and pulled her up from the water.
Zhou Xun, who was only wearing a sleeveless red coat, clung tightly to his body, and his usually flat body actually had some ups and downs at this time.
Sister Xiaoxun raised a finger, her face full of pain and tension.
The two of them pulled Zhou Xun to the big rock. Chen Kun hugged her and took a belt to tie her thin arms tightly.
Li Tang pulled up her snake-bitten finger and said without hesitation: "Pinch it tightly and I'll suck out the poison."
He took a strong sip, spat out the blood, and then took a second sip.
The description of this scene in the script, apart from Li Tang's line just now, is just one sentence: Ma Jianling gave the little tailor drugs, but later I learned that it was a water snake and not poisonous.
Li Tang's response at this time was that the first puff was completely subconscious. When he took the second puff, he was nervous on the one hand, fearing that something might happen to Zhou Xun. On the other hand, he was sucking Zhou Xun's fingers. This was the first time he had close contact with the goddess in his heart, and it was inevitable that there would be some waves in his heart.
The two emotions were superimposed, and Li Tang's body couldn't help but tremble while inhaling the poison vigorously.
Zhou Xun is obviously very clever, and when the two were filming "Suzhou River", they were often asked to express themselves freely on the spot. This tacit understanding will not fade over time.
At this time, Zhou Xun noticed Li Tang's trembling and subconsciously said: "The snake didn't bite you, why are you shaking?"
"Cut!"
It was this improvised sentence that made Dai Sijie's eyes light up. He stood up involuntarily, clapped his hands and praised: "Good, very good, passed!"
Second update!
