"stop!"
After calling stop, Director He Qun deliberately took off his headphones, ran over and gestured: "Yuanyuan, your scene is a little too much, please hold back a little. Pay attention to your eyes, the camera will cut to a close-up in a while, let's not be too enthusiastic. ,understand?"
"I understand, director." Gao Yuanyuan responded quickly, feeling a little hot on her face.
It is said that love comes from the heart. When she and Li Tang looked at each other in the scene just now, she naturally brought out her emotions.
Director He Qun then nodded to Li Tang to express his approval of his performance, and then said: "Xiao Li, please bring Yuanyuan a little bit."
"I know, director!" Li Tang responded.
"Okay, you guys adjust it and start again later."
While the staff was preparing, Li Tang said to Gao Yuanyuan: "Hey, don't be too naive, we have to take it step by step!"
Of course Li Tang could feel the fiery look in the other person's eyes when they were filming just now. In fact, the close relationship between actors is very helpful in shaping a couple, but things always have two sides. If you put your own true emotions into it from the beginning, it will go too far.
But what Li Tang said was too straightforward, and Gao Yuanyuan, who was usually gentle and pleasant, couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and hummed: "I know."
Li Tang continued to nag: "Hey, don't just know it verbally. You have to understand the character's state. In the scene just now, you just recognized me as the young man who once helped you, just like a man who once helped you." You are a very close elementary school classmate. You haven't seen each other for more than ten years. The other person didn't recognize you, but you recognized him. Imagine how you would feel?"
"Of course I'm happy!"
"Yes, you are happy, but you don't want him to know that you recognize him. How should you react?"
"Well...I'm happy in my heart, but I still pretend not to know him on the face. Besides, I have to pay attention to his reaction from time to time, just pay more attention to him." Gao Yuanyuan thought for a while.
"Hey, that's right! Just like when I looked directly at you, your eyes should dodge, because you have secrets in your heart, and you don't dare to look at me. And you have to be careful not to make too many small moves. Don't be mean. You know, remember what I just told you, and express whatever you think in your heart."
After Li Tang's peeled and crushed analysis, Gao Yuanyuan suddenly felt enlightened and nodded quickly: "Well, Brother Li, I understand."
After all, Gao Yuanyuan is still very immature in terms of acting, and does not understand the characters well. She usually acts for the sake of acting, and is also easily affected by her own true emotions.
Li Tang has also filmed several martial arts dramas in recent years. He has a different understanding of each character he plays, such as Linghu Clash, a handsome and playful character. As for Zhang Danfeng, who is currently playing, he is more understood as an ideal character, a knight who is talented, unrestrained, and unrepentant. A magnanimous hero. It is roughly equivalent to a combination of Linghu Chong, Yang Guo and Guo Jing.
Martial arts dramas, especially martial arts dramas adapted from best-selling martial arts, always have a refreshing quality. The heroes they portray are basically floating, upright and without any flaws.
In contrast, the Yang Kang he played before was a very real character. For example, his love with Mu Nianci was sincere, and he chose to stand with his adoptive father Wanyan Honglie. People always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Moreover, if a person has lived in the same environment since childhood, it is difficult for him to change.
And the Zhang Danfeng he plays now is exactly the opposite of the character Yang Kang. Zhang Danfeng betrayed his own class in pursuit of the so-called righteousness.
Because it is a floating character, Li Tang strives to be more realistic in terms of details when interpreting this character, rather than a tall and comprehensive character who talks about benevolence, justice and morality.
For example, his original intention at the beginning was very simple, just to help save his brothers and their wives. Later, his feelings for Yun Lei were nothing more than seeing the good-looking and lustful Princess Yun Lei pretending to be the Daming Princess. Later, when he encountered an ambush from Tantai Mieming, he learned that his father was dissatisfied with Daming and Walaxiu and wanted to assassinate the princess.
But his idea was still very simple. Because of his love and sympathy, he took the risk of sending Yun Lei back to the border.
What is being filmed now is the scene of the two people escaping.
After Li Tang's training, Gao Yuanyuan finally got into the mood and took two more shots. Finally, she heard Director He Qun shout: "Okay, this one is good, passed!"
…
In the past two weeks in Yinchuan, the crew traveled to multiple filming locations, mainly focusing on filming Li Tang's scenes. On May 12, Li Tang took a break from the crew and flew back to the capital, and then set off for Cannes the next day.
This time, in addition to directors Li Tang, Diao Yinan, and Ning Hao, the Shengtang company also included Zeng Jia, Zhao Luoyao, and Zeng Jia's former assistant, Mr. Jiang's agent and head of the studio, Du Hua.
Last time Xiao Zhao went, but Xiao Du didn't, and the two of them were quite unhappy about it. Xiao Du is now on his own. Letting her go with him this time will not only help Zeng Jia fight, but it will also be more of a benefit for him to go out and see the world.
Different from the past few international flights where she squeezed into economy class, Zeng Jia was generous this time and booked six business class tickets early so that the flight of more than ten hours could be more comfortable. Of course, these air tickets, including all expenses for this trip to Cannes to participate in the exhibition, can eventually be included in the cost of production.
After buying a business class ticket, you can use the VIP channel at the airport. The biggest advantage is that it is quiet and there will not be people constantly coming to ask for autographs or take photos.
It is said that movie fans are the bread and butter of actors, but once this kind of thing becomes the norm, it is quite annoying, but as a public figure, you have to smile, and in the end the only way is to spend money to buy peace and quiet. Sometimes you really can't blame the stars for not being down-to-earth, it's really the fans who are too enthusiastic.
Zeng Jia and Xiao Zhao followed Li Tang into the VIP lounge of the airport for the first time, and both seemed very calm. In order not to embarrass herself in front of Xiao Zhao, Xiao Du kept pretending to be calm, but her eyes looking around from time to time betrayed her true mood at this time. Xiao Zhao saw this and snickered secretly. She would definitely not ridicule her colleagues in front of her boss and Boss Zeng. She just secretly made a note in her mind. If Xiao Du doesn't know the truth one day in the future, then she will take it. Come out and give her a good stab.
Li Tang, Diao Yinan and Ning Hao sat together and drank coffee and chatted. Mainly Ning Hao was asking him about the grand events of last year's Cannes Film Festival, such as the red carpet, the lively Hong Kong night, etc.
But this year's situation is very different. First of all, it is because of the epidemic. For example, Gong Li, who lives in Lijiapo, where the epidemic is severe, originally planned to promote the movie "Love God" with Wang Jiawei, but she has already announced her absence from this year's Cannes Film Festival. The Hong Kong Trade Development Council also announced that the "Hong Kong Night" hosted by them will be suspended for one session this year.
Another reason is that due to the outbreak of the Iraq War in March, the shadow of terrorist attacks has always hung over Europe. It is said that the security measures of this film festival are better than before, so some of the original activities will inevitably be affected.
Since World War II, Europe has been kidnapped by the United States. The United States has done evil and Europe has suffered. There is nothing you can do about it. Even if you want to be tough, you can't be tough.
After a while, I heard a commotion at the door of the VIP lounge, and then I saw a thin woman wearing a black jacket, jeans, long hair, and a black face mask walking in surrounded by staff.
Although the woman is thin, she has a strong aura, and there are many fans behind her who are shouting: "Ziyi".
If there weren't security guards guarding the door, I'm afraid they would have rushed in long ago.
"Ziyi!"
Li Tang raised his hand and waved to her.
Zhang Ziyi was also full of surprise when she saw him, and trotted over: "Hey, Teacher Li, what a coincidence!"
As she spoke, she opened her arms and hugged Li Tang politely.
"Why are you here too? I thought you would set off with the building director and others in Shanghai."
"The director will leave on the 9th. I have to film a movie over there, so I can't leave. I happened to come back yesterday to do some errands, so I set off directly from here." Zhang Ziyi said with a smile.
As he spoke, he politely extended his hand to Diao Yinan next to him: "Teacher Diao, long time no see!"
They were all from the China National Opera, and Diao Yinan, Meng Jinhui and the others worked together in the China National Opera's small theater to create avant-garde dramas. They were considered a small star group, and they were once very popular in the China National Opera.
"Ziyi, long time no see!" Diao Yinan smiled slightly and shook hands with the junior sister.
"This is Ning Hao, the director of "Incense"." Li Tang introduced Ning Hao, who looked embarrassed.
"Hello, Director Ning!" Zhang Ziyi shook hands with him equally politely.
Ning Hao may have been a little transparent before, but now his work has been shortlisted for the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival. In this sense, he has become famous. If he says at this time that I want to make a movie, someone will definitely invest in him.
Therefore, Xiao Zhang, who is well versed in the rules of the industry, will naturally not underestimate this young new director.
"Hello Hello!"
Ning Hao nodded quickly and bent down to hold Zhang Ziyi's hand, completely showing the mentality of a fan.
After sitting down again, Li Tang asked: "How is the filming going? Is it time to wrap up?"
As a result, Zhang Ziyi said with a face full of resentment: "It's still early, the scene between me and Liu Ye has just been filmed and less than half of it has been filmed."
Li Tang couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Is it so slow?"
It only took him half a month to finish filming his part, and it has been more than a month and a half since he finished filming. According to the normal progress, he should have almost finished filming.
"Isn't it because of Jiang Wen? It took me a long time to shoot the part with him for a full month. In the end, if he was not a judge at the Cannes Film Festival, he would have to rush to Cannes at the beginning of the month, and there would probably be more It may take longer." Zhang Ziyi complained.
