Ever since Gao Yuanyuan and Li Tang came back from a trip to the ancient city of Dinghai, those who are familiar with Gao Yuanyuan in the crew clearly felt that she seemed to be a different person, with a very full mood, especially a very sincere and heartfelt smile.
Everyone knows that Gao Yuanyuan loves to laugh, but her smile is often...well, I can't say fake smile, it is just a polite smile that is very well-educated. Real laughter is rare.
But now her smile reveals a joy that comes from the bottom of her heart, making people feel like spring breeze when they see her. Everyone speculated about what happened between her and Li Tang.
In the eyes of most people, Yuanyuan is a good girl with a good family background and a good tutor. Although she is in the entertainment industry, she never behaves in a pretty way. She has no gossipy news, and she has been very successful in previous cooperation. Everyone gets along harmoniously.
In a word, don't be a monster, don't fool around, have a good personality, just like a flawless white lotus.
In fact, when most men see a beautiful girl they are familiar with, knowing that they can't get her, they hope that the man who gets her is far better than themselves, and at the same time, they cherish her and love her.
But Teacher Li, what should I say?
He is handsome, rich, and the top four in the circle. It stands to reason that he is worthy of Yuanyuan in all aspects. It's just that this person has been with another beauty in the industry, Fan Binbin, for a long time. He has also been photographed by reporters with his ex-girlfriend Li Binbin many times. There are also rumors that he has a close relationship with Jiang Qinqin.
Now that they see Yuanyuan actually stepping into this pit, although everyone doesn't say it openly, they feel quite uncomfortable in their hearts.
As for Li Tang, after experiencing a brief psychological fluctuation, he immediately returned to normal. It's just a kiss on the mouth, it's nothing like that. In addition to a few good friends, he has kissed many people while filming. He has kissed Yuan Quan, Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, and Xu Jing. Lei, he even kissed Ma Xiaoqin, and he had kissed three of them.
He admitted that he did have feelings for Gao Yuanyuan, but he was still hesitant about taking the final step. Such a beautiful flower, if I don't pick it and someone else picks it, I always feel unwilling to do so. But whether it will prick your hands if you pick it off, or what to do in the future, is a troublesome matter.
But after thinking about it, he was still wavering, and in the end he could only let it go and let nature take its course. The most important thing right now is to film the scene well first.
In fact, he welcomed Gao Yuanyuan's arrival. Whenever he saw her bright smile, his own mood would also change.
The second brother he plays is a miserable man with no way out. In order to express the characteristics of the character, he has been holding back and suffocating in the play. His back is almost never straight. No matter he is standing, sitting or squatting, he is always twisted. The body or head is lowered. Coupled with the cloudy and humid weather, it slowly simmers out a sad taste.
If you suppress this emotion for a long time, you may even become depressed. But the arrival of Gao Yuanyuan and her flowery smile swept away the accumulated negative emotions in Li Tang's heart, and he became excited.
As long as people are excited, their thinking will be active, they will have more ideas, and they will become more confident in controlling the role.
Just like today's scene, the second brother saw his son for the first time in so many years after returning to China. In summary, the content he had previously filmed was to prepare the scene for the scene in which he wanted to meet his son.
Because everyone knows that he has a son in the United States, and everyone also knows that he cannot see his son. It happened that the son and his grandfather came back. When he and his eldest brother and sister-in-law visited their parents' graves, the eldest brother had promised the parents of Jiuquanxia that he would bring the second brother's son to them in two days and ask the eldest grandson to call them grandparents.
So, even though he knew he couldn't do it, he still brought gifts to see his son.
This scene was filmed in a beautiful house near a small town. This house is newly built and full of local characteristics. The exterior stone carvings are very exquisite, while the interior is an all-wood structure. It is said that the materials are used. Good wood.
The owner of this house smuggled himself to the United States more than ten years ago. After working hard for many years, he finally owned his own supermarket on the west coast of the United States and obtained his identity. But for them, their roots are always in China. Last year I always had the opportunity to return to my hometown and build this beautiful mansion. Today, the owner of the mansion is still abroad, and only the owner's elderly parents live here.
This scene has been filmed for two days. The previous filming was of him and his best friend Xiao Liang coming to see the child. As a result, the child's mother acted as the nanny and blocked the door to prevent him from seeing the child. A small conflict broke out over this. Finally, the child's grandfather, who was still sleeping with jet lag, was alerted. The grandfather refused the second brother's gift, but agreed to let the second brother take a look at the child. Because the child was sleeping, he could only stand at the door and watch.
"Li Tang, are you ready?"
When everything was ready, Wang Xiaoshuai asked Li Tang, who was sitting outside the door and was feeling emotional.
Li Tang raised his head and felt his emotions at this time. He seemed to be not quite there yet. He shook his head and said, "Director, give me another five minutes."
"good!"
Wang Xiaoshuai followed the good deeds. Because this shot has been shot three times, but the effect is not very good.
Of course, Li Tang's performance was very good, but it was limited to the word "acting". Neither Wang Xiaoshuai nor Li Tang himself was satisfied, and they always felt that something was missing.
In fact, Li Tang was quite worried about filming scenes with children, because he had no life or experience in this area and lacked empathy, so that he could never find the precise point in his emotions.
For this reason, he specially called his father last night to ask for advice. Lao Li first complained on the phone. It was nothing more than that this year's Chinese New Year was his first Chinese New Year after his marriage, but his son could not go home to celebrate the New Year, and he could not worship his ancestors as a family.
But there was nothing he could do about it for work, and apart from making money this year, Li Tang didn't have any honors to appease his ancestors. He couldn't provide a few real estate certificates.
As for the issues raised by his son, Lao Li went on to talk a lot. He could sum it up in one sentence: his son is the continuation of his life, or something more important in the world than his own life.
Li Tang understood what his father meant, but he still couldn't empathize with him, because for him now, his own life is of course the first priority. After all, he finally came back from the dead, and his life now is so colorful, and he doesn't want to go back to it. Repeat the same mistakes.
Li Tang sat there and lit a cigarette again, imagining that he was transformed into Lao Li, and that he was taken to the United States by his mother when he was a child. He finally came back, lying on the bed sleeping, while Lao Li was standing on tiptoes at the door looking at My sleeping self...
Gao Yuanyuan was watching at the scene, and she didn't dare to disturb him rashly. She is not from a major. Although she has taken acting classes for a period of time, she is still unable to skillfully use some acting skills when acting. She still competes with herself more.
She could see that Li Tang was also competing with herself at this time. It was very difficult and painful to tell the truth. Sometimes you find that you used the wrong emotion after working hard for a long time, which would cause embarrassment and drama. But you won't be able to get out for a while, so you can only grind slowly.
The cigarette was finished quickly, and almost five minutes passed, still without a clue. Li Tang scratched his scalp and stood up, forget it, stop thinking about it. If you continue to think about it, you may get into trouble.
If this is a two-person scene, and if your partner is reliable, even if you can't find your emotions for a while, you can find your own emotions through the emotional expressions given to you by the other person and develop empathy.
But the difficulty now is that this shot is of him alone, expressing his emotions by seeing his sleeping son.
But we can't let everyone wait endlessly like this. Li Tang is inevitably a little embarrassed. This may be the first time since his debut that he has no confidence in his performance.
When she raised her head, she saw Gao Yuanyuan looking at her worriedly. When their eyes met, she immediately showed her signature smile and at the same time made a cheering gesture towards herself.
At this moment, Li Tang's mood suddenly improved a lot. At least there were so many people present who cared about him and were silently cheering him on.
He then cheered up, it was no big deal, he would just keep shooting if it didn't work, he would always be able to find the right expression.
Perhaps seeing that Li Tang's mood was a little unstable, Wang Xiaoshuai asked the child to crawl back onto the bed and pretend to sleep. A five-year-old child was quite obedient, lying on the bed like a good baby, with his little black eyes rolling around.
"Xiaobao, close your eyes and cooperate with uncle in filming."
Hearing these words from his child's mother, Li Tang felt quite embarrassed. He, a dignified young actor in Venice and a co-star of Golden Rooster, actually asked a child to help with the scene because he couldn't find the correct emotional expression. He would definitely be laughed at if he told it. Losing big teeth.
He could only step forward with a shy face, stroke the child's head and said with a smile: "Xiaobao, be good, after the filming is over, uncle will take you to eat meat swallows, okay?"
Xiaobao loves eating meat swallows the most. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Okay!"
After saying that, he quickly closed his eyes and lay motionless on the bed.
Li Tang retreated to the door, and the local actor who guest-starred as his father-in-law was also in place.
"Okay, everyone is ready..."
"start!"
With a "pop" sound, the scorer hit the board.
The father-in-law, who spoke with a local accent and had ordinary hair, pointed to the door of the room that was opened a crack: "Just stand at the door and watch, don't go in."
As he spoke, he still blocked half of the doorway.
Li Tang stretched his neck and looked inside. He saw Xiaobao sleeping on the small bed with his head turned away. He could only see the thick black hair on the back of the child's small head, but could not see his face. He didn't know what his son, whom he hadn't seen for more than three years, looked like, so he asked again Standing on tiptoes, he tried to put his head through the crack in the door to get a clear look.
It should be said that his body language has been performed very well. At this time, the camera is looking straight at him, first in the medium shot, then slowly in the close shot, and finally in the close-up, capturing the subtle expression he expressed at the moment he saw his son. The expression and the excited and eager eyes.
Xiaobao was originally sleeping on his side under the quilt, with only his little head exposed. Maybe it was because he had been lying on his side for a long time, and it was uncomfortable. At this time, he turned over and lay on his back, with a small hand following. He pulled it out from the quilt and put it on his chest.
Just such a small movement made Li Tang's eyes suddenly light up as he was facing the camera. In his mind, he imagined Lao Li standing at the door of the room looking eagerly and greedily at his little self sleeping on the bed. Although the child's face is still not visible, the little hand must be very soft.
At this moment, he only felt a sore nose, and the emotion of empathy suddenly surged into his heart. His eyes were red, and his originally empty eyes were now sparkling.
"Okay, just take a look, you can go." The father-in-law at the side urged impatiently.
He was very reluctant to let go, pulling at the doorframe and remaining motionless until his father-in-law reached out to close it, completely blocking his sight.
"good, very good!"
Wang Xiaoshuai shouted excitedly. After shooting for almost a whole morning, he finally saw a shot that satisfied him.
"Hey, Li Tang, do you want to take a look for yourself?"
Li Tang took the napkin that Xiao Zhao handed over in time, wiped the tears that were about to overflow from his eyes, hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't read it."
Gao Yuanyuan, on the other hand, rushed to the director's side eagerly and watched the playback carefully. Her eyes became moist, and she looked at Li Tang with admiration. Her voice choked with sobs and she said, "What a great performance!"
Li Tang, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "Why are you excited too?"
"No, I just think that look in your eyes is very... well, I can't tell you specifically, it's just that it's very distressing."
Li Tang enters the play quickly and exits the play quickly.
In fact, he knew very well that it was just a fluke, but he still wanted to thank Xiaobao in particular. The moment he took his little hand out of the quilt and put it on his chest, he suddenly found a feeling. He imagined that that little hand must be very... Soft and emotional suddenly came up.
It is not uncommon for such accidental factors to make an actor's emotions suddenly hit the mark, but this is purely a coincidence. If Wang Xiaoshuai asked him to do another one at this time, he might not be able to achieve the effect just now. To put it bluntly, it is terrible. You can ask for it when you encounter it.
"Haha, don't take it seriously. It's all acting."
He could only laugh twice, and then said to Wang Xiaoshuai: "Director, is it okay?"
Wang Xiaoshuai, who was sitting behind the monitor, raised his hand and gave a thumbs up and replied: "No problem!"
"Okay, then I'll take Xiaobao to eat meatballs."
A man must mean what he says, not to mention that Xiaobao just helped him a lot.
On the other hand, Wang Xiaoshuai's former colleague, Xiaobao's mother, quickly said politely: "Teacher Li, no, no, no. Children, how can you take this seriously!"
Li Tang looked back at Xiaobao, who was standing pitifully on the bed. For the first time, he felt that this child was really cute and very sensible. He obviously wanted to go, but his mother wouldn't let him go. She didn't make any noise or make a fuss. Looking at the person who just made a promise so aggrievedly, that little look in his eyes made people feel heartbroken.
Sorry, I haven't recovered from my cold yet. I'm always feeling sluggish after taking cold medicine. I know that the writing of the last few chapters has been a bit tedious, and indeed there are some glitches. I have not thought about whether Yuanyuan will sleep or not, whether she will sleep immediately or after a while, and how the plot will be arranged after sleeping... I will think about it tonight. Think about it and try to settle down tomorrow.
