My artist wants to quit the entertainment industry every day

Chapter 124 The Filming Starts, The Stubborn Chen Wuji
It was a face that captivated all sentient beings.

Coupled with the magnification many times, even Chi Yu raised his head to look at himself on the fixed makeup, feeling a little dazed.

So beautiful.

The sinking fish and the geese can't reach it, and the closed moon and shameful flowers can't reach it.

And the media below, after a moment of panic, realized again that it was a man up there, and couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded.

Lan Yu blurted out, "How can you be so beautiful?"

Everyone was also asking in their hearts: "How can it be so beautiful?"

Chi Yu said: "This is the charm of drama. Because of this outfit, because of the light and shadow, the sense of story, and because of the digging of the director and photographer, what you see is the angle of beauty."

Everyone was speechless.

Is it interesting to be humble at this time?

You let those people who are 360-degree blind spots, what excuses do you have?

"It's too late."

A reporter raised his hand and asked, "How many psychological obstacles do you need to overcome to play a character with a biased gender orientation?"

Chi Yu smiled and said, "It's probably the same as those actors who are pure in nature but play villains, and they have to overcome as many psychological barriers."

The topic of today's press conference is actually Tai Chi.

Before the movie comes out, what the media, audience, netizens, and fans can know is the name of the character, as well as the general character and relationship of the character in the original novel.

As for what the final adaptation will look like, and what the director will look like, that is unknown.

Don't say far.

As far as Jin Yong's novels, The Condor Shooting Trilogy, have been remade so many times, the differences between different remakes are not small.

After the press conference for the opening, it was the official shooting.

At the same time, the media that received the red envelopes also carried out vigorous pre-publicity and advocacy for the film.

"A gift for the 123rd anniversary of world cinema! Chen Wuji's new movie "Farewell My Concubine" will start filming soon."

"The three major movie stars are playing on the same stage, and "Farewell My Concubine" has a strong lineup!"

"Farewell My Concubine is adapted from Li Bihua's novel of the same name. Chen Wuji said that the focus is on the fate of the characters in the changing times, so as to show the thinking and understanding of traditional culture, human living conditions and human nature."

"Adaptation or joking? How does Chen Wuji embody his grand narrative in the small format of the original novel?"

"Chen Wuji's new play starts, but the original novels are running out of stock!"

"Ge You: After I read the script, I was shocked."

"Wan Qian: The director chose me because I am the most suitable character for the script."

"Fu Dalong: I will try my best to play the role entrusted to me by the director."

"Chi Yu: The role of Cheng Dieyi is very challenging."

However, most people's attention, from the movie itself, slowly and simply turned to Wan Qian's cheongsam makeup and Chi Yu's Yu Ji costume.

These two words first became hot words, and then became screensavers or wallpapers for netizens.

And some teams, or fans, also began to slowly exert their strength.

"Wan Qian is so beautiful! She just stood there, wearing a cheongsam, which is a proper style of the Republic of China."

"In the novel, the chrysanthemum fairy is the leading character, right? As far as Wan Qian's looks are concerned, after all, we played Liu Rushi, a chrysanthemum fairy, so it's no problem."

"Although the other three are all great film stars, Wan Qian is not bad, right? How can we say that we have also won the Best Supporting Actress of the Golden Colt and the Best Actress at the Beijing College Student Film Festival, so we are also the best actress?"

"That's right, she has also been nominated for the Directors Guild's Actress of the Year! Why do you only mention the three major movie stars playing on the same stage?"

"From "Buried Alive" to "The Mountain", and then to "Farewell My Concubine", ignoring "The Wandering Earth" in the middle, they are all the number one male! Chiyu's resources are really enviable."

"Don't be envious. Just think about it, why are Chi Yu's resources so good?"

"This is a good question! Four films, including "The Wandering Earth" that you have ignored, the first two, can they be called resources? "Buried Alive", there is only one actor in the whole process. "The Mountain", there are actually two actors. "The Wandering Earth", it is said that Wu Jing was forced to join the crew after the Golden Pheasant Award..."

"Yes, really don't be envious. These resources are here for you, do you dare to accept them?"

"You are envious of Chen Wuji's movies, but "Buried Alive", "The Mountain" and "The Wandering Earth", I am afraid that those little fresh meats will not be able to avoid them if they come to the door, right?"

"It's too real! I gave you a chance, but you are useless!"

……

When the outside voice was ups and downs, "Farewell My Concubine" had already entered the regular shooting cycle.

The filming location of "Farewell My Concubine" was Chen Wuji's Huairou film and television base.

Huairou film and television base has a complete Ming and Qing architectural complex, such as some classic film and television dramas, "The Gate of the Mansion", "Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan", and "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "Returning the Pearl".

Oh, by the way, "The Promise" was also filmed here.

As the only boss of the crew, as a gift to the world cinema, in the filming of "Farewell My Concubine", except for some leftover shots, Chen Wuji personally directed all of them.

In the beginning, there were no plays by Chi Yu and others, but all children's plays.

After two days of filming, Chi Yu finally realized why Chen Wuji is so awesome.

He talks to actors too much.

Unlike Lao Zhao, who only used compliments to make actors feel ashamed.

Chen Wuji is completely in that way, bit by bit, breaks up the tricks, crushes them, and feeds them into the actor's mouth.

"The character itself is a prostitute, and now she is a mother, trying to find a way for her son to never see her son's mother again."

Chen Wuji gave a lecture to Yang Rong, who played the role of Xiaodouzi (ie Cheng Dieyi)'s mother Yanhong: "You have to experience the emotional twists and turns in it. I need a few minutes of the scene. From the beginning, it is amazing."

No scenes of Chi Yu and others were filmed, and they were all watching from the sidelines.

After all, it's a big director talking about a play, and that's all the essence.

Yang Rong is here, there are only four or five scenes in total.

At the beginning, she went shopping with Xiaodouzi in her arms, met regular customers, and went to the theater. Her performance went smoothly.

However, the few scenes of giving Xiaodouzi to Master Guan, especially the first scene, made her a little bit broken.

This one has been photographed for most of the afternoon.

But Chen Wuji still failed to pass the test and felt that he had not met his requirements.

In terms of filming, Chen Wuji can definitely be said to be the one with the most persistent demands on actors.

Of course, he can achieve such a high achievement in film work, which is also inseparable from his hard-working and paranoid temperament.

He does not learn from those "three provinces" shooting methods, which save time, budget, art, and even free art.

"If an artist does not perform well, the first person responsible is the director."

Chen Wuji patiently said to Yang Rong: "Yang Rong, you don't need to be under pressure. Your previous performance was very good, but it's not as good as I want, understand?"

"Sense of layers. Yang Rong, you have to act out all the layers here."

"In ancient times, actors and prostitutes were all low-class, and no one looked down on the other. So you are a bit like cheating in front of Master Guan."

"Okay, Director."

At this moment, Yang Rong has no other ideas, but only wants to learn this role well.

After Chen Wuji finished talking to Yang Rong, he went to Zhang Hanyu and said, "Old Zhang, your Master Guan is still a bit too imposing. After all, Master Guan is also a low-level man. He is old-fashioned. In front of these playboys."

"Okay, I'll try again." Zhang Hanyu responded.

It is Zhang Hanyu who plays the role of Master Guan.

Zhang Hanyu is also an actor, if the media find out, they will explode again.

He came to play the role of Master Guan, who didn't have many shots, which can almost be regarded as a friendly cameo.But even though it's a friendship cameo, it can't be perfunctory with the acting skills of friendship.

He listened to Chen Wuji's words with a smile, and then went to think about it.

"It's scary."

Wan Qian shivered a little: "Is this the great director? It's so terrifying!"

Fu Dalong was full of fighting spirit: "Director Chen's play is very exciting, and the requirements are extremely high. I have a hunch that if Yang Rong's play is performed, it will definitely become a classic!"

Chi Yu nodded: "Yes."

None of the staff on the scene, including the group performers, felt that because Chen Wuji had never given it up, Yang Rong's performance before was just hip-pull.

On the contrary, many people feel that at least a few of the lenses are completely sufficient.

They even feel sorry for the actor Yang Rong.

But fortunately, although Chen Wuji has never shot the shots he wanted, after repeated NGs, he has always been cheerful and patiently talking to the actors.

He didn't quarrel, didn't get angry, and from beginning to end, he was neither hasty nor impatient.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the crew has never been suppressed, everyone just performed their duties and strictly implemented Chen Wuji's requirements.

What kind of vase do you want, what do you want for the nave painting, how to play the light, how to arrange the things on the table, you have to pay attention to it. Looking at some old photos, it can’t be said to be a restoration, but it basically feels right.

You can't make people feel that it's a play when they see it.

"How's it going? When we're ready, let's do it again?" Chen Wuji sat in the director's chair and asked with a loudspeaker.

"Hello, director." Yang Rong asked the makeup artist to adjust the costume and makeup, and said.

"I'm fine." Zhang Hanyu's Master Guan is relatively simple.

"It's ready, then let's do it again. Work harder, or our classmate Xiaodouzi will almost fall asleep."

Chen Wuji also said a joke.

The actor who played the role of Xiaodouzi as a child was only 10 years old, and because of filming over and over again, he just dozed off.

When Chen Wuji said this, many people in the crew showed smiles on their faces.

"Farewell My Concubine, scene XX, mirror No. 20 of XX three times, start!"

As the scene notes hit the board, the same scene unfolded in the camera again.

In the camera, Zhang Hanyu touches Xiaodouzi's bones.

And Yang Rong stood aside with a strong posture.

The painting in the middle hall is a painting of Emperor Guan, with writing on both sides:

The ambition is in the Spring and Autumn Period, the merit is in the Han Dynasty, the loyalty is the same as the sun, the moon and the righteousness are in the same sky.

The light came in from the door, except for the light, the rest of the place was in darkness. Yang Rong stood sideways, with light on one side and darkness on the other side.

"You child, you have no life to eat, you can take it back."

After Zhang Hanyu touched the bones, he saw Xiaodouzi's six fingers hidden in the hand warmer, and said regretfully:

"Think about it, with his appearance, the people listening to the opera under the stage were all scared away."

While he was talking, he sat in a chair and drank tea from the porcelain pot.

The porcelain pot was covered with a towel.

The shot continues.

"It's not that I can't afford it, it's that the boy can't keep it when he grows up, that's why I came to join you."

Yang Rong sat in the chair, tears were streaming down her face, she wiped her mouth and begged, "You have to accept him anyway."

At this point, everyone held their breath.

Before, basically in the following scenes, Yang Rong did not meet Chen Wuji's requirements.

In the lens.

A smile suddenly appeared on Yang Rong's face, but in the smile, there was a softness in his eyes: "As long as you accept him, you can do whatever you want! Don't despise us."

As he spoke, he stood up and almost knelt down along the chair.

"Hey, don't mind!"

Zhang Hanyu lifted him up, but he didn't move: "They're all dirty, whoever hates whoever."

After finishing speaking, he got up and said: "His patriarch refused to give him a meal, and no one else did."

At this point, the camera is on Xiaodouzi's face.

Everyone dared not breathe, waiting for Chen Wuji's reaction.

"Okay! This one is over!"

It took Chen Wuji a long time before he held the trumpet and said this sentence.

Then, he took the lead in applauding, and said into the loudspeaker, "It's done! Yang Rong, remember this feeling! Let's continue shooting later and see if we can shoot the next shot in one go."

Chi Yu and the others also applauded, standing behind the camera and watching.

Naturally, after seeing the whole performance, one can see the subtle differences in it.And just this slight difference has improved the overall effect by more than one or two grades.

"Perhaps this is the so-called film master."

"At least in one specific picture, the sense of the picture, the sense of the lens, and the inexplicable sense of art designed by Chen Wuji are too powerful."

"Great!"

Chi Yu and Fu Dalong looked at each other, only shocked.

Inside the room, Yang Rong let out a long breath.

It's finally over.

She felt that if she continued to shoot, she would really collapse.

Although she only spoke a few words throughout this scene, it was much more difficult to act than those lively Gongdou scenes.

Zhang Hanyu smiled, and said: "It's really good. The look just now, that is, in the movie, is Master Guan. Now, who can resist it."

"Mr. Zhang, you are joking."

Yang Rong felt a little embarrassed.

If it wasn't for her failing to meet the director's requirements, Zhang Hanyu wouldn't have to act with her over and over again.

At this moment, she doesn't have the strength of the brothel girl in the camera just now.

Next, move on to the rest of the shots.

Chen Wuji's idea was good, it would be best to finish the filming in one go while the actor felt right.

But it won't be exactly what he wants.

One is that it was getting late, and it took too long to finish filming the part just now, and it is already past five o'clock. If we shoot again, we may have to film Yang Rong's scene in the middle of the night.

And it must be under the condition that the actor's status is online all the time.

So then only a transition scene was shot, and it was already dark, so the crew had to call it a day.

After eating and returning to the hotel, Chi Yu began to summarize what he had seen and gained that day.

It is mainly based on Chen Wuji's guidance of the actors, as well as the details of the actors' performances, lighting, etc., and record everything they see, and then make some experiences.

This is his long-standing habit, learning in the process of filming.

This is also part of the diary.

While Chi Yu was writing his diary, the crew of "The Wandering Earth" encountered a little trouble in Qindao, the Oriental Movie Metropolis.

　Renovation downstairs, oh my god, my mind is buzzing with drilling rigs. . .
