I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 155: Release and Recover, Chen Kexin ([-]-word chapter)

On the second night of filming, the shooting plan was to have three overly intense scenes between Wan Qingshan and Gong Li.

Seeing the uneasy expression on Wan Qingshan's face, Gong Li really didn't expect that Wan Qingshan, who had been famous for several years, would be nervous while filming such a scene.

She couldn't help laughing and asked, "Is this your first time filming this kind of scene?"

"Well, I haven't done much filming before, and I have never done this kind of scene." Wan Qingshan replied with some embarrassment.

At this time, Zhang Yimou shouted through a loudspeaker, "The actors are in place!" '

Wan Qingshan and Gong Li immediately stopped talking, got up and walked towards the palace corridor, the filming location.

Wait until the sounds of each group’s preparations, curtain calls, and dressing up begin!

Gong Li instantly enters the scene, her eyes are sharp and her aura is majestic, making people feel fearful when they see her.

As Gong Li led several palace ladies from the corridor into the camera, Wan Qingshan took a deep breath, and then with gloomy eyes, he led the palace ladies and slowly walked into the camera from this side.

When Gong Li and Wan Qingshan appeared at both ends of the camera, Gong Li looked at Wan Qingshan, and her sharp eyes immediately softened, and a smile leaked from her stern cheeks.

Wan Qingshan's eyes also changed, the gloom was gone, his eyes were full of joy, and his slow pace became much faster.

Behind the monitor, Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he quickly used the intercom to whisper to Zhao Xiaoding, "Xiao Zhao, close-up, the eyes of the two of them!"

As the camera slowly advanced, Wan Qingshan took two brisk steps, a trace of confusion flashed across his face, and then he returned to his previous calmness.

When the two of them walked to the center of the camera, Wan Qingshan raised his hands and saluted, "Queen Mother!"

Gong Li showed a sweet smile and asked softly, "Yuanxiang, where are you going!"

"After returning to my mother, I am about to go to the Neijiaofang to discuss with the people from the Ministry of Etiquette,"

There was a trace of guilt in Wan Qingshan's eyes, and he continued, "We will discuss preparations for our father's return to Beijing in three days."

Suddenly, the smile on Gong Li's face disappeared, she turned her head slightly and said coldly, "You all get out!"

After the palace ladies beside Gong Li bowed and exited the camera, Gong Li looked coldly at the motionless palace ladies behind Wan Qingshan.

Suddenly, she became very excited and yelled,
"What do you want to do? Didn't you hear my order?"

When the maids next to Wanqing Mountain were so frightened that they knelt down and saluted in panic - "Come here! Pull them down and chop them down!"

Wan Qingshan looked at the somewhat crazy Gong Li with an expression of pity on his face.

Then, as the palace maid kowtowed and begged for mercy, he opened his mouth slightly, but in the end, he lowered his eyes and closed his mouth!

"Stuck, OK! Take a 5-minute break and prepare for the next one."

At this time, Zhang Yimou behind the monitor held a loudspeaker and shouted excitedly.

He didn't expect Wan Qingshan to be able to pull the drama over!
Due to the needs of the plot of this scene, Gong Li needed to be extravagant when acting, while Wan Qingshan needed to restrain himself.

Logically speaking, the whole scene in this scene is on Gong Li, and Wan Qingshan will be overwhelmed.

But unexpectedly, Wan Qingshan used his eyes and small expressions to balance the scene that should have been biased towards Gong Li.

The scene is brought to a balanced level, making the scenes between the two more vivid and layered, and complementing each other's characters.

This scene was so good that Zhang Yimou thought there was no need to keep another line.

At this time, Gong Li, who had already left the show, looked at Wanqing Mountain in surprise.

Then, she joked, "Your performance just now can be used as a textbook for stealing the show."

Gong Li had watched Wan Qingshan's "Selection" and "Heart" in the United States and knew that Wan Qingshan's acting skills were good, especially Wan Qingshan's acting in "Heart", and she felt ashamed.

But I didn't expect that Wan Qingshan, acting opposite her, could actually pull the scene away when the scene was focused on her.

Pulling the show or stealing the show seems simple.

But if you want to pull the drama away without affecting the plot or the opponent's performance, that's not the case. Just good acting skills will do.

This requires your understanding of the opponent's role and overall control of the scene.

You must be clear about that degree. If it is exceeded, it will affect the entire plot. If it is missing, the drama will not be drawn out.

"Don't say that. I didn't steal the show. I was just acting normally. As soon as your words spread, I became a show-stealer again."

Wan Qingshan's defensive words made Gong Li feel very boring, and the joking thoughts in her heart were gone.

"Wan Dao, you are just worried too much.

I heard that when you first debuted, you dared to offside Zhao Feite and Jiang Wen on the red carpet.

At that time, you were not afraid of the reputation of disrespecting your predecessors.Why, now that he has become a great director, he is still worried. "

Looking at Gong Li's back as she turned away, Wan Qingshan froze on the spot, lost in thought.

After a while, Wan Qingshan came back to his senses, with a self-deprecating smile on his face, and sighed in a low voice, "I used to be barefoot, so of course I wasn't afraid of anything, but now I'm wearing shoes!"

After a 5-minute break, the crew continued filming.

Following the extra actors playing the soldiers, after dragging the palace maid off, the filming of the main scene began.

With a crazy look on her face, Gong Li pulled Wan Qingshan and started to make out.

Wan Qingshan struggled for a moment with a guilty look in his eyes. Then, a trace of madness flashed in his eyes and he began to take the initiative.

Well,,, fortunately, Zhang Yimou is not crazy yet.

The head of Wanqingshan was on Gong Li's chest. After twisting a few times, Zhang Yimou's voice was heard: "stuck!" ——Guarantee one! '

After making a guarantee, Wan Qingshan apologized to Gong Li, and then Gong Li went to the dressing room, while Wan Qingshan walked to the rest area.

"Director Wan, you performed this intimate scene very well! It's not like it's your first time to do an intimate scene!

It was my first time to perform an intimate scene, but I got stuck countless times before I could pass it. You made a mistake! "

As soon as he sat down, Wan Qingshan listened to the joking voices on the side and turned around and asked, "You have no scenes today and are not resting in the hotel. What are you doing at the filming site?"

"Of course I came here to study, just like King Zhou Tianwang. The scene between you and Gong Li is considered to be the highest acting scene among mainland actors. Of course I don't want to miss it!" Fan brushed her hair beside her ears. , said with a smile.

Wan Qingshan rolled his eyes, stopped answering, picked up the script and started reading.

When Gong Li came out of the dressing room with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes.

The makeup artist over there came over, took off the hairpin from Wanqingshan's wig, and then casually arranged Wanqingshan's clothes to be more messy, and then took the photo again.

Wan Qingshan and Gong Li, as Fan said, are basically the two top acting actors and actresses in Mainland China.

Previously, Wan Qingshan had pulled the drama away. While Gong Li was impressed, she also began to secretly compete with her, her aura was fully activated, and her acting skills were at a high level.

Gong Libiao's acting skills are outstanding, and Wan Qingshan is worthy of her reputation!
It's just that Yuan Xiang's character was submissive in the early stages of the plot, and he was very restrained when acting.

The Queen's role is completely opposite, her emotions are all expressed outwardly. In terms of drama, Yuan Xiang's role is at a disadvantage.

Wan Qingshan could only use his eyes, and some small details and movements he added to try desperately to bring the scene to a balance line.

The two played off and on, and the seemingly evenly matched rivalry kept the smile on Zhang Yimou's face.

It also shocked Fan who was watching. Her previous joke of "Come and learn" has become true. Gong Li, who is looking closely at her acting skills and showing off her aura, and every look and every movement. Yes, play Wanqingshan.

Zhou Jielun looked a little confused. He felt that his eyes had been opened, but he didn't know what to do.

But looking at the expressions of Zhang Yimou and Fan, he knew that the two acted very well, so he was at a loss and stared closely.

When the sky turned pale, the last intense scene between Wan Qingshan and Gong Li was filmed.

Gong Li sat up from the bed, took a long breath, pushed back the messy hair on her face, looked at Wan Qingshan who was lying on the bed adjusting her clothes, and said with a smile,
"I haven't felt so comfortable acting in a long time. If you make a movie in the future, if you star in it yourself, remember to find me if there is a role that suits me."

Gong Li really feels comfortable playing with Wan Qingshan. No matter how unbridled she acts or how she puts it, Wan Qingshan can keep the scene balanced.

This feeling of being tolerated in her acting skills, except for the first two years when she debuted, she never felt this way again.

"I'm not Director Zhang. How can I afford you?" Wan Qingshan replied with a smile.

"Look what you said, I'm willing to work with you even if my pay is reduced."

After Gong Li finished speaking, she got up and walked towards the dressing room.

Wan Qingshan and Gong Li changed their clothes and went back to the hotel with Fan and others.

While having breakfast in the morning, Zhou Runfa said in a funny way, "Wow, wow, Wan Sheng, I heard from the crew that you and Gong Libiao had a scene last night!
Alas, it is such a pity that I missed this scene. "

"Brother Fa, it will be worth watching when you and Ms. Gong Li have sex."

Just as Wan Qingshan finished speaking, his cell phone rang suddenly. When he saw that it was Chen Yumo's call, Wan Qingshan and Zhou Runfa apologized and walked aside to answer the call.

After saying a few words and hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan approached Zhang Yimou, who was eating and discussing matters with Zhang Weiping.

"Director Zhang, Producer Zhang, I'm sorry, I want to take a leave of absence. I have to go back to the capital for two days because of something urgent."

Zhang Yimou nodded without thinking, "Is two days enough? How about I give you a few more days off?"

"Director Zhang, thank you for taking care of me, but two days are enough. Besides, even if you give me a few more days off, I will have to rush back and I will have to study with you."

Zhang Yimou was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "I forgot for a moment that you got this in exchange for the script. You must be reluctant to part with it."

Wan Qingshan smiled and said, "Director Zhang, I'll leave first."

Immediately, Wan Qingshan hurried back to his room to pack his things, and immediately rushed to the airport.

After sleeping on the plane, he was still trapped after landing. Chen Yumo, who had been staying in the capital to handle theater procedures during this period, came to pick him up and saw that Wan Qingshan's mental state was not very good.

"Did you not sleep well? Or were you filming a night scene last night?" Chen Yumo asked with concern while driving home.

"The night scenes were filmed. Previously, tourists and reporters made it impossible for the crew to film during the day, so they had to shoot all the scenes at night."

"By the way, you said on the phone that all the procedures have been completed, so I only need to sign a few signatures!"

Chen Yumo threw a dirty look, "Just change the subject with me, shoot night scenes every day, be careful of your kidneys!"

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment, looking a little embarrassed.

Then Chen Yumo got down to business, "The formalities have been completed, I'm just waiting for you to sign."

After returning home, Wan Qingshan signed several documents handed over by Chen Yumo, then ran to the General Administration and handed the documents over.

Then, Wan Qingshan called Ye Suan, and then ran to the bank to transfer 2000 million to Qingshan Cinema's account.

The next day, after waiting for the approval to establish the theater chain, Wan Qingshan walked around with Chen Yumo. In the evening, he put Chen Yumo on the plane, and then he turned around and flew to Hengdian.

He went to the crew hotel and had a good night's sleep. The next morning, when Zhou Runfa and the others came back from filming for breakfast, Wan Qingshan noticed that the atmosphere on the crew seemed a little off.

In the past, when we had breakfast, even if we were not at the same table, we would still chat across the table.

But now, only the people at the same table were chatting quietly, and the people at the next table were silent.

Wan Qingshan, Zhang Weiping, and Zhang Yimou said hello, then walked to Fan who was sitting alone at a small table, sat down, and asked in a low voice,
"Why do I feel like the atmosphere on the set is not quite right! Did something happen in the past two days?"

Fan glanced at Zhou Runfa, then nodded and moved towards Wanqing Mountain.

"Of course something is wrong. Director Wan asked for leave and left the group, so Director Zhang brought up Zhou Runfa's role.

However, it seems that Zhou Runfa had additional conditions when he signed the contract. He had to have a separate RV when filming.

So when filming Zhou Runfa's scene, producer Zhang got a RV.

Then yesterday, I don’t know who it was in the crew who spread the news that Zhou Runfa was acting like a big name, but Gong Li didn’t mention it, and Director Wan didn’t mention it either, but he was the only one who asked for a RV! "

Wan Qingshan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately looked over at Zhang Weiping, who had a dull expression.

He remembered that Zhang Weiping in his previous life had told the public that Zhou Runfa was difficult to deal with, playing big names and changing the script.

However, Wan Qingshan immediately dismissed the idea, saying that this was Zhang Weiping's secret idea.

The filming has not yet been completed, and there is no way Zhang Weiping could disturb the crew and delay filming at this time.

Then Wan Qingshan thought about it, and it seemed that there was only one thing the crew couldn't stand, so he said this casually.

After all, if it wasn't Zhang Weiping who was causing trouble, then Gong Li would be the only one.

But if she wanted a RV, Zhang Yimou would definitely prepare it for her, so she wouldn't mock Zhou Runfa.

"Well, I heard that when Gong Li signed the contract, she seemed to have mentioned some additional conditions, and now Zhou Runfa has also mentioned additional conditions.

Director Wan, you are one of the three leading actors. Did you mention any additional conditions? Fan asked with a curious look on his face.

Wan Qingshan looked sideways and smiled, "Of course there are additional conditions for me to appear! Think about yourself, how did you appear here!"

Fan was stunned for a moment, then laughed awkwardly and said, "I have completely forgotten the reasons why I can appear in Director Zhang's film."

As soon as Fan finished speaking, Wan Qingshan heard Zhang Weiping's surprised voice, "What did you say!"

Wan Qingshan looked back and saw Zhang Weiping holding his mobile phone and looking at him in surprise.

"Okay, I see, hang up first."

Zhang Weiping hung up the phone, and then looked at Wan Qingshan carefully as if he didn't know Wan Qingshan.

"Director Wan, you are so brave! You actually opened a theater!"

Zhang Weiping's words made everyone look at Wanqing Mountain in surprise.

Cinema chains are not profitable now, and it is still an asset-heavy industry.

If you don’t make money, the investment is huge!They couldn't figure it out. Even if Wan Qingshan wanted to develop a company, it would be fine to develop a distribution company, but he actually opened a theater chain!

"Mr. Zhang, you are well-informed. The theater chain was only established yesterday, and you received the news today."

"Director Wan, I have been in the film and television industry for many years, so I still have some connections."

As Zhang Weiping spoke, he picked up his rice bowl and sat down opposite Wanqing Mountain.

"Director Wan, do you want to open up the film industry chain in the future?"

Zhang Weiping's whispered words surprised Wan Qingshan.

Then, he nodded and asked curiously,
"Mr. Zhang, you should also understand the importance of theater chains to the film industry. Have you never thought about opening theater chains?"

Wan Qingshan has always been curious. From Zhang Weiping's perspective, it is impossible for him not to know that the film industry is developing at a rapid pace.

But after so many years, until he broke up with Zhang Yimou in the future, the new picture was still the same. At most, it could develop artist business, but it was only signing artists discovered by Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Weiping froze and was silent for a moment before saying, "Director Wan, I have put in a lot of effort to maintain the new pictures now. If I open theaters again, I'm afraid all my new pictures will be swallowed up by others."

Looking at Zhang Weiping who looked a little lonely, Wan Qingshan didn't know what to say. He could only sigh in his heart, 'What a pity! '

No matter what Zhang Weiping's reputation is, he definitely has the ability and courage.It's a pity that there is no chance to develop the company.

After Zhang Weiping sighed, he suppressed his frustrated emotions and said with a smile, "Director Wan, now that you have a theater network, you will be more helpful in arranging films in the future!"

"Mr. Zhang, you are just joking. The Qingshan Cinema Chain only has fifteen theaters, and they are all in second-tier cities. Even if I want to help, I am powerless!"

Zhang Weiping looked at Wan Qingshan and said with great certainty, "Director Wan, you won't enter the theater industry just for a small theater chain.

I think that within a few years, your small theater chain will become a large theater chain. When the time comes, you must help! "

"Haha, I'd like to lend you some good advice. If it's like what you said, Mr. Zhang, the Qingshan Cinema Chain will be developed in a few years. Then I will definitely help in arranging the films produced by New Screen."

Wan Qingshan sounded very sure about the last sentence. Anyway, he was thinking that Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou would break up a few years later, and New Picture would go bankrupt not long after that, so there would be no other movies produced.

Wan Qingshan's tone made Zhang Weiping smile with joy, "Director Wan, thank you for your support. I am very grateful to you."

Qingshan Cinema Line was established, Zhang Weiping received the news, Wang Zhongjun and others naturally received the news, and then they called Wan Qingshan one after another, hoping that Wan Qingshan would take more care of him in the future.

Although theater chains are currently a money-losing industry, they still occupy a dominant position in the film industry chain.

No matter how good the movie is, if there are only a few theaters scheduled and you have to adjust the show time early in the morning, it will definitely not have any box office.

Although Qingshan Cinema Chain is just a small cinema chain now, Wang Zhongjun and Zhang Weiping believe that since Wan Qingshan has entered the cinema chain industry, it will naturally not just build a small cinema chain, but will definitely spend money on development in the future.

When it comes to handling the relationship now, we will have a lot to say later!
After waiting for Zhang Weiping to finish his meal and leave to deal with the crew, Fan asked in a low voice, "Director Wan, are you planning to develop a distribution company next?"

"Did you just hear what Zhang Weiping said, I want to open up the film industry chain.

If we open up the industrial chain, I will definitely develop a banking company.What, what do you think? "

Fan smiled charmingly and said, "I'm kind of wondering if, Director Wan, you can let me take a stake in the company when you develop it. I don't need more, just 1%."

Wan Qingshan looked sideways in surprise and looked at Xia Fan's charming face, "Why do you use 1%? You can't get much money every year."

Fan rolled his eyes and said, "I also want to order more, but you definitely won't give it. I want 1%. I just want to strengthen our cooperation, and at the same time, I want to get more names for myself."

Fan's reason was very strange, but Wan Qingshan didn't bother to think about it. Anyway, she only wanted 1%, and it was still early to develop a bank company.

"Issuing company, I won't open it so early. If you still only want to invest 1% at that time, then go for it."

Fan Li immediately smiled like a little girl who got [-]% in the exam, and nodded happily,

"Director Wan, it's settled. When you develop a publishing company, you have to think of me."

"Uh-huh!"

Wan Qingshan responded perfunctorily.

In the evening, Wan Qingshan, Zhou Runfa and others came to the Ming and Qing Palace Gardens!

As soon as he got off the car, surprise appeared on Wan Qingshan's face!

There were female college students playing the roles of palace maids, an extra cast of eunuchs, and a group of actors wearing golden armor. The number almost filled up the empty square of Qingyuan of the Ming Palace!

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly ran to Zhang Yimou, listening to Zhang Yimou's command to mobilize the maids and extras!

The scenes to be filmed in the first half of the night didn't involve Wanqingshan, so he didn't have to prepare anything.

So when the crew was preparing, he followed Zhang Yimou every step of the way.

It may be that Wan Qingshan is a chance to trade the script, or it may be that Zhang Yimou has a mentality of being a good teacher.

Zhang Yimou not only did not hide anything from Wan Qingshan, but also taught him everything he could.

Every time the director directs the group performers, he will tell Wan Qingshan what lens he will use to shoot these extra performers and what effect they will produce when they stand here.

After Zhang Yimou had mobilized all the extras, and after waiting for a while, Zhou Runfa, who was wearing golden armor, and Zhou Jielun, who was also wearing golden armor, walked out of the dressing room with the support of the staff.

After these two people came out, they started filming soon!

As Zhou Runfa walked to the outermost end of the Qingyuan Square of the Ming Palace, Zhou Jielun stood at the front of the group performance in the same golden armor. Each group's "ready" sound, the sound of announcing the curtain, and the sound of dressing up sounded one by one.

Wanqingshan, who was sitting next to Zhang Yimou with a small bench, saw in the monitor, in the shot shot from a crane, in the splendid palace, a neat group of golden armor troupes, led by Zhou Runfalongxianghubu. , move forward.

Amidst the sound of neat footsteps, the camera slowly moved downwards, and the appearance of Chow Yun-fat in golden armor began to become clear on the monitor.

Under the surrounding candlelight, the troupes of actors in shining armor were marching in neat and majestic steps, coupled with the surrounding maids in semi-ferocious costumes, the whole scene was like an oil painting!
Then under the command of Zhang Yimou using the walkie-talkie, the camera shot from an oblique angle, and the entire picture changed accordingly.

Half of it is the dazzling armor illuminated by candlelight, and the other half is just the golden armor that flickers slightly, making people feel full of chilling atmosphere.

When Wan Qingshan was marveling at this magnificent shot, suddenly - "Stuck! Guarantee!"

When Zhou Runfa and the extras walked to their previous location, Wan Qingshan couldn't help but ask, "Director Zhang, were you particular about shooting from an oblique angle just now?"

Just now, after Zhang Yimou asked Zhao Xiaoding to adjust the camera angle, the picture changed drastically. The majestic and majestic feeling came out immediately, so Wan Qingshan couldn't help but ask about the source of the change in the picture - the camera angle.

Zhang Yimou, who was drinking from a water cup, raised the cup higher.

After drinking the water, Zhang Yimou looked sideways at Wan Qingshan, who was looking for knowledge. He couldn't help but think of when he was a photographer.

So, he couldn't help but sigh, "I know that you used the script in exchange for learning from me because you want to learn about big scenes that you have no experience in shooting.

Today’s directors, it’s not just you who don’t know how to shoot big scenes, absolutely most directors don’t know how to shoot big scenes.

I know how to shoot big scenes, which I learned from shooting "The Grand Parade" when I was a photographer.

Those group performances at that time were all soldiers in the army. They were disciplined and obeyed our instructions completely. No matter how many times a scene was shot, they would still execute it meticulously. "

Seeing Zhang Yiyang reminiscing about the past, Wan Qingshan felt a little anxious.

Just when he was about to ask further questions, Zhang Yimou picked up the speaker at his feet.

"You see, you can only see one side when you look at it from the front. When you look at it from an oblique angle, you can see both sides, and you will find that it is a three-dimensional thing.

The same reason I used oblique lenses just now. For big scenes, the most important thing is the three-dimensional effect.

If the three-dimensional effect is not sufficient, the picture will look like a bunch of people huddled together.

When I was directing the positions of the extras before, didn't I tell you what effect I wanted, so I asked some of the extras to stand here and some to stand there.

These are just single effects. It also has another big effect, which is to support the three-dimensional sense of the picture.

Big scenes rely on the director's control of the camera space. "

Then, a proud smile appeared on Zhang Yimou's face, "Of course, don't think that just by teaching you a few words, you will learn how to take good shots of big scenes.

Once you know the theory, you still have to practice more.And this training is the most difficult. Now it is not like when I was able to train the soldiers in the army, shot by shot.

You will definitely not be able to follow my path. Officials will not ask you to be a director when making a movie. You are too young.

Then you have only one option left, which is to spend money to hire thousands of group performers to practice. It depends on whether you are willing to part with it or not.

Shooting big scenes cannot be done in a day or two. Thousands of extras, let alone a month, even half a month, will definitely cost tens of millions. "

Wan Qingshan frowned and said nothing!
He understood what Zhang Yimou said about the sense of three-dimensional space. This is mathematical geometry!
But later when Zhang Yimou said that he would spend a lot of money to hire a bunch of extras to practice more, Wan Qingshan had an idea in his mind. Isn't Han Sanping the most willing to invest in blockbusters?Then if he is,,,,
At this time, Zhou Runfa also walked back to their original positions, and the crew started filming again.

So Wan Qingshan temporarily put aside the idea of ​​writing a war drama and concentrated on studying with Zhang Yimou.

Although Zhang Yimou gave a general theory on how to shoot a big scene, he did not say how to stand in order to create a sufficient sense of space. He had to observe how Zhang Yimou did it.

Also, even if there is no need to learn the big scenes, Zhang Yimou’s mirror structure and picture color are still worth learning.If you don’t learn more now, you won’t have such a good opportunity in the future.

After a smooth pass, the next filming got stuck. When Zhou Runfa approached the palace, the college student who played the role of the palace maid always had problems when he saluted.

The palace maid's salute was not neat enough at first, but later it became neater. Zhang Yimou found that there was something wrong with the posture of the salute.

Directors of the older generation also like to dig into details, and Zhang Yimou would have to do it all over again for every little gesture issue.

After several attempts, it still didn't work, so Zhang Yimou could only ask a teacher invited by the crew who specializes in etiquette from historical dynasties to demonstrate and teach.

There are so many palace maids, and it takes a lot of time to teach them, which makes it impossible to film the movie for the time being.

So Zhou Runfa asked the crew to remove the expensive and heavy golden armor he was wearing, and then he went back to the RV to rest.

It took nearly an hour for the palace maid to finish her instruction, and then Zhang Yimou's face suddenly became a little ugly.

As Zhang Yimou asked the crew to go to the RV and informed Zhou Runfa to start filming, Wan Qingshan, who had noticed the sudden change in Zhang Yimou's face, understood why.

At first glance, there seems to be no difference between Zhou Runfa's golden armor and the golden armor worn by the extras, but if you look a little more carefully, you will find that there is a big difference.

Zhou Runfa's armor was custom-made and was very troublesome to put on.Zhang Yimou had mobilized all the crew before, and after waiting for a while, Zhou Runfa got dressed with the help of the staff.

Because the crew teaches etiquette, Zhou Runfa took off his armor, so now the crew can only wait for him to put on the armor before filming.

Taking advantage of Zhou Runfa's break to put on his armor, Wan Qingshan came to the rest area and picked up his water cup to drink.

As soon as Wan Qingshan put down the water glass, he heard Fan on the side discussing right and wrong behind his back like an aunt.

"Director Wan, the previous rumors from the crew are indeed true. Chow Run-fa is really a bit of a celebrity! Now the whole crew is waiting for him alone."

Wan Qingshan couldn't help but roll his eyes and whispered, "Do you know how much Zhou Runfa's armor weighs?"

Fan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "How much does it weigh?"

"Nearly a hundred pounds!"

Wan Qingshan had just stopped filming because he was teaching court ladies etiquette. Wan Qingshan had nothing to do. He walked over to Zhou Jieluna, chatted with him, and asked him what it felt like to wear armor.

After Zhou Jielun complained a few times about being tired, he told Wan Qingshan that his armor of several dozen kilograms was nothing, while Zhou Runfa's armor weighed nearly a hundred kilograms.

Fan was stunned with a look of surprise!
It weighs nearly a hundred pounds!
When Runfa took off his armor that week, it wasn't considered a big deal. At most, it can only be said that he had no dedication and was unwilling to endure more hardships, which delayed the filming of the crew.

"You, don't talk about other people's rights and wrongs in the future."

Wan Qingshan's words brought Fan back to her senses, and she replied with a bright smile, "I'm not stupid, so of course I won't talk about this kind of thing to other people.

But Wan Dao, you are not an outsider, and you will not spread the news, so I have nothing to worry about. "

Wan Qingshan smiled softly, and suddenly - his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Fan in surprise.

Seeing this, Fan touched his cheek and asked curiously, "Director Wan, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"No, it's nothing! By the way, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to find Director Zhang to ask a question."

After Wan Qingshan finished speaking, he immediately stood up and walked towards Zhang Yimou.

Because of the etiquette lessons and Zhou Runfa taking off his armor, tonight's filming plan was not completed and only the scene where the king returned to the palace was filmed.

The next night, because we had been taught about saluting yesterday, and there was no close-up shot of the palace maids saluting today, today's scene was shot very quickly, making up for the progress that was left behind yesterday.

For the next period of time, whether there is a movie or not, Wan Qingshan will go to the set every night. If there is a movie, he will film, and if there is no movie, he will study with Zhang Yimou.

This wholehearted focus on the crew caused Wan Qingshan to lose track of time until one day, Chen Chen called and said that the staff of the Beijing College Student Film Festival had called Qingshan Film and Television Company, hoping that "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" could participate. select.

After hearing this, Wan Qingshan asked Chen Chen to send "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" to register, and at the same time asked Chen Chen to inform Zeng Li and the others to remember to participate in the Beijing College Student Film Festival.

Then, some time later, the day before the Beijing College Student Film Festival, Wan Qingshan asked Zhang Yimou for leave and flew back to the capital.

The next day, the star-studded Beijing Film Festival Awards Night was held at the Zhaoyang Gymnasium.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wan Qingshan, who was wearing a straight black suit, led Zeng Li, who was still wearing heavy makeup and a red butt-covering dress, and Zhang Jin, who had gained a lot of weight recently, to the entrance preparation area!
Then——the weekly news in the preparation area, Xia Yu and others were dumbfounded.

Although the news that "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave" was shortlisted had spread before, they all thought that only Zeng Li and Zhang Jin would come, and Wan Qingshan would not be able to come.

Two years ago!Not to mention that Wan Qingshan caused a red carpet offside at the Beijing College Student Film Festival.

Let's just say that Wan Qingshan just won the first Chinese Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival, but he only won the Best Debut Award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival. The Beijing University Student Film Festival did not give him any face.

When Wan Qingshan came up to accept the award, his speech was very brief, almost a scornful acceptance speech, and it did not give the Beijing College Student Film Festival any face.

Both sides don't give each other face!Previously, "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" appeared on the shortlist of the Beijing College Student Film Festival, which was enough to surprise Zhou Xun and others, but now Wan Qingshan actually came in person!
Is this a reconciliation between the two parties?

Some people, after being surprised, immediately thought that "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" was shortlisted for seven awards.And Wan Qingshan unexpectedly came in person, then,,,,,,,
After Zhou Xun came back to his senses, he stood up and walked over and called, "Director Wan, Miss Zeng, Mr. Zhang!"

"Miss Zhou!" Zeng Li called her with a smile, then let go of Wan Qingshan's arm and walked towards Xia Yu and Yuan Quan.

"Miss Zhou!" Zhang Jin responded with a smile, then turned to Wan Qingshan and said, "Director Wan, I'm going over there first."

Zhang Jin is not so discerning. He knows that Zhou Xun must have come here because of Wan Qingshan.

After Zhang Jin left, Wan Qingshan smiled at Zhou Xun, and then asked curiously, "Why are you the only one and they haven't come?"

When Wan Qingshan came in, he glanced around and found that only Zhou Xun, Jin Chengwu, and Zhang Xueyou from the "If Love" crew were not there.

"Jin Chengwu and the others were not shortlisted, and they were all very busy, so they didn't come. But Director Chen is here. He just went to communicate with the staff because of a small matter."

Wan Qingshan nodded and sat down aside.

Zhou Xun sat down next to Wan Qingshan, blinked his watery eyes, and asked curiously, "Director Wan, what was it like to be in Director Zhang's movie?"

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "You have won so many awards and worked with so many famous directors.

Why, are you still like them and still have a complex about Director Zhang’s movies? "

Because Zhang Yimou made two international female stars Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi popular, even if the movies Zhang Yimou made later did not do well in terms of awards and box office, the big stars of later generations still participated in Zhang Yimou movie complex.

This complex is not only shared by big flowers in later generations, but also by female stars in the current industry, but it is not as serious as those big flowers.

On the way here just now, Zeng Li asked Wan Qingshan what it was like to participate in Zhang Yimou's movie, and she was full of envy for Fan's starring in Zhang Yimou's movie.

Wan Qingshan wanted to say at that time, you are envious of the opportunity to miss something!
"Which actress in the industry wouldn't want to star in Director Zhang's movie? After all, it's easiest to go abroad if you star in Director Zhang's movie.

I have won many awards now, but what's the use?When I go abroad, not many people know about me.

It's like you, Director Wan, who only acted in two literary films, but won the Berlin Best Actor and the Venice Golden Lion Award, and was also a judge at the Berlin Film Festival. "

After Zhou Xun sighed, she talked about the business in her heart. She asked Wan Qingshan about starring in Zhang Yimou's movie to facilitate the introduction of the business.

She blinked and smiled, "I probably won't be able to act in Director Zhang's movie. Director Zhang's female leads are basically either newbies or actresses that Director Zhang has discovered before.

However, I found that Director Wan, you don’t seem to have any special requirements for actresses, so I do have a chance.

Director Wan, if you need an actress for your new film, you can consider me. I don’t have to pay for it. "

A trace of surprise flashed across Wan Qingshan's face, Zhou Xun was wondering what was going on. She would never have expressed her intention to star in his movie so openly before without asking for pay.

Wan Qingshan thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "Are you competing with Li Bailian for the first sister of Huayi?"

Zhou Xun's face froze, then she leaned back in surprise, and then she looked at Wanqingshan like a monster.

After looking at Wan Qingshan for a few seconds, she said in surprise, "Director Wan, you are so smart!"

She is now competing with Li Bailian for the first sister of Huayi, but it has just begun. They have just begun to compete secretly. No one in the company noticed it. Wan Qingshan actually guessed it just because she took the initiative to ask about the role.

"Haha, we met at the celebration party of "The True Meaning of Love" the year before last, so it's been more than a year.

In the meantime, we have met several times, but you have never been so straightforward about asking for a role and not asking for a salary.I'm thinking that you have signed with Huayi now. As long as I'm not stupid, I can guess it. "

Zhou Xun thought for a moment, then laughed dryly, leaned forward, and then said very sincerely,
"Director Wan, although it's because Li Bailian and I are competing for the first sister of Huayi, I'm a little anxious.

But I also really want to star in your movies, especially your art films.

Director Wan, if you make a literary film, not only will I not take the salary, but I will also give you some money. "

"No, I don't dare to ask the actor to repay the money. I'm not that ugly when I eat."

After Wan Qingshan finished speaking, seeing Zhou Xun still looking at him closely, he sighed helplessly, "I probably won't make literary films in the next few years.

You must have heard that I opened a theater chain. In the past few years, I have to make commercial films to make money to develop the theater chain. "

Suddenly, a very obvious expression of disappointment appeared on Zhou Xun's little face.

She also really wants to act in Wan Qingshan's commercial film.

But from the selection of actresses in the two movies "The True Meaning of Love" and "Loyalty and Loyalty", she could tell that there was no hope for Wanqingshan to use beautiful actresses for the sake of box office when making commercial films.

Only literary and artistic films, relying on acting skills, would give her a chance, but she never expected that Wan Qingshan would not make any literary films in the next few years.

Soon, the disappointment on Zhou Xun's face disappeared, because "If Love" Chen Kexin walked in.

Zhou Xun stood up and shouted with a smile, "Director Chen!"

Chen Kexin nodded, and then he walked to Wanqingshan.

"Hello, Director Wan!"

Wan Qingshan stood up and gently shook the hand handed over by Chen Kexin, "Hello, Director Chen!"

Chen Kexin immediately sat down next to Wan Qingshan and enthusiastically praised Wan Qingshan for his two consecutive movies that were hits in Hong Kong.

Wan Qingshan could only smile and praise, "This is nothing compared to Director Chen's previous achievements."

For Chen Kexin, Wan Qingshan felt both admiration and disgust.

The original Chen Kexin is the best developed director in Hong Kong!

This is because he has the foresight and took the initiative to join the mainland very early, unlike those Hong Kong directors who still put on airs even when cooperating with mainland film and television companies.

He is also very capable. He has filmed classic movies such as "Sweet Honey", and has been a filming supervisor and producer, as well as "The Signature", "October Siege" and "Partners", etc., all of which are pretty good.

And the most important thing is that his costume films and biographical films do not have the petty atmosphere of Hong Kong directors.Many Hong Kong directors make costume films, and they become like "Young and Dangerous" over and over again.

Wan Qingshan admires him for his vision and strength.

What makes Wan Qingshan disgusting is that he eats investments very badly.

The props in "Martial Arts", a hat, actually cost [-] US dollars. After the filming of the movie was completed, he also got his luxurious villa!

That is to say, the mainland film market was developing at that time, but there were not enough commercial directors in the mainland.

As a result, mainland film and television companies know that Hong Kong directors are seeking investment, but they still treat these people as guests.

Because Chen Kexin defected to the mainland relatively early, and he also has a certain influence on Hong Kong Island.Later, in order to set an example for those Hong Kong directors who were wandering abroad, the official made him the first Hong Kong director to win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director.

He was set up as a role model by the authorities. He went smoothly in the mainland, won many awards at mainland film festivals, and was finally able to direct a film about the women's volleyball team - "Win the Championship". If he had been a director from Hong Kong, the authorities would definitely not have agreed.

Wan Qingshan and Chen Kexin praised each other for a while, and then Chen Kexin got up and left.

Then Zhang Jin and Zeng Li sat over. As soon as they sat down, someone else came in at the door.

One of the people who came in saw Wan Qingshan there, and she was stunned for a moment. Then she spoke to the people around her and walked towards Wan Qingshan!
