Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 356 Jiang Wenli: It's going well. Jiang Wen: What a surprise!
The eaves reflect the morning glow, and the edges of the leaves are golden.

When the aroma of jujubes in the alleys of "Autumn in Peking" described by Lao She began to brew, Zhen Jiecheng held a steamed bun in his left hand and soy milk in his right hand, and blurted out the authentic traditional Chinese quintessence:
"Damn, what great weather!"

"Good weather is a good sign. I'd be sorry to God if I don't take more pictures today!"

"Hurry up, let's eat and drink and leave for the set."

Hearing this, Jiang Wenli no longer cared about enjoying her breakfast. She picked up her plate and sat next to Lao Zhao.

"Brother, let's play a little show while we eat."

"Otherwise I'd be unsure."

"No problem." Old Zhao nodded. "In fact, you are not the only one who is unsure. I feel guilty too."

"Brother, you are too modest. When we acted together before, your performance was textbook-level and impeccable!"

Jiang Wenli spoke with great sincerity, her eyes full of admiration.

The rhythm of the lines, the switching of facial expressions; the matching body language design that may be overlooked at first glance, but becomes more and more sophisticated upon closer inspection.

It's as if he really has Alzheimer's disease, and the stubbornness, harshness, childish self-esteem, stubbornness and unreasonableness are all brought to life.

"Hey, how can I reach the textbook!" Lao Zhao waved his hands, "I am not a professional, I can only rely on the method of benzene to get by. Since I received the offer from Jiecheng, I have been living with Alzheimer's disease almost every day for the past few months."

"What's the saying? Oh, right, a red bird will be redder if it's close to him, and a black bird will be blacker if it's close to him."

"After spending a long time with different patients, pigs can imitate them pretty much."

The blind man played by Lao Zhao is still the ceiling in the domestic film and television industry.

The reason is very simple. The second uncle who taught Lao Zhao to learn skills was blind.

A reporter once asked Lao Zhao: Why can you play the role of a blind person so vividly?
Old Zhao replied: "He raised me, how could I not be able to act like him?"

Art comes from life.

Faced with Lao Zhao, a big man who is both a methodist and an experientialist, Jiang Wenli, who is full of professional theories, felt a huge and almost impossible to cross gap.

One is a good actor, the other doesn’t look like an actor at all!

"Brother, please don't mention the peasant issue anymore. You won the Best Actor award at both the Hundred Flowers Awards and the Huabiao Awards in 99."

"You talk as if you've never won one before." Old Zhao laughed. "Come on, let's act again. Let's try to show the director today what we can do as the best actor and actress!"

"Okay~"

The set is a busy scene.

The props team and the lighting team never stop working.

Li Pingbin switched to a T1.5 large aperture to maintain natural lighting effects in low-light scenes and avoid fill light destroying shadow levels.

Then check the set and lighting through the lens.

"Old Ji, how is the establishment of the decay exponential model going?"

Zhen Jiecheng's loud speaker voice rang in his ears, and Ji Jianming responded quickly.

"It has been designed. The light intensity attenuation curve will be adapted to the emotional transition of the plot." Ji Jianming answered while working. LED light strips are embedded in the bookshelf and ceiling to achieve precise control of the shadowless light source without delay.

"OK!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded and moved the loud speaker towards Cao Jiuping. "Old Cao, set up a mirror misdirection here!"

Following the direction of Zhen Jiecheng's finger, Cao Jiuping led the props team to start immediately.

Mirror misdirection is to use mirror reflection to create a virtual image and overlap the real scene. This shows a combination of virtual and real in the lens language, corresponding to the memory confusion of Alzheimer's disease.

But how to arrange it, how to hide the mirror, and how to cleverly complement the layout of the room.

The technical content here is too high!
Cao Jiuping wiped the sweat from his forehead, but it was not caused by stress, it was purely due to the heat.

As an old gang, they have experienced the art design of "No Return", so what can "The Father Trapped in Time" count as?
"He~tui! Damn it, just wait till we die!"

Seeing Zhen Jiecheng walking towards the surveillance camera with a loud speaker, Cao Jiuping spat fiercely.

When he received the script, Cao Jiuping had already made sufficient mental preparations.

But I never expected that such a simple plot and only a few houses would require such an outrageous amount of work.

"Just hold on, hold on! Just hold on!"

"I've worked so hard that the Taiwanese have lost their hair and their heads have become bald, and I've worked so hard that the Hong Kong bald have become bald and have to use crutches. I can only take my medical insurance and social security and lie down with my old buddies."

"Then let's see who you can outlast!"

"Lao Cao, stop dreaming. Jiecheng can be replaced." Hou Yong suddenly leaned forward and pointed at himself, "Isn't that me?"

"Old Bao and Old Li haven't even started yet, but he's already preparing for a rainy day!"

Cao Jiuping: (Д)ノ

No matter how much I complain, it’s really cool!
These days, it's a matter of luck to find a crew to put all your knowledge to use, not to mention racking your brains to overcome difficulties.

This is the only place in China or even in the world that offers such high-frequency, continuous, and high-difficulty challenges!
Therefore, old things are cherished even more, especially when their artistic life is running out.

"Change the chair, a light yellow one!"

Zhen Jiecheng's orders continued.

Fresh ideas pop up in my mind from time to time, and then I practice, compare and verify them.

"Lao Ji, try to preserve the balance between the highlight details outside the window and the dark textures inside the room."

"Move the photo frame a little to the left, Lao Li, check the composition with the camera to see if there is any problem."

The original idea is good, using the frame-like composition to divide the picture, deconstructing the chaos of time and space and the fragmented presentation of memory. Through color invasion, such as the sudden appearance of bright red chairs or blue curtains, visual landmarks are formed in the composition, guiding the audience to repeatedly experience the character's cognition.

But the director is a novice after all, and his work is too rough.

The invasion of color must be abrupt, but it does not have to be discordant.

As long as you have deep skills, it is completely possible to not destroy the overall color tone, and then it will be conspicuous by contrast, thus achieving the effect of "invasion".

Similarly, the pictures divided by the frame must use details to guide the "messy" lens language based on the composition. That is, mixed but not chaotic, chaotic but orderly!
Zhen Jiecheng closed his eyes: [●--●]
Unfortunately, the sunglasses block his image of a serious man in deep thought and prevent everyone from appreciating his appearance.

But even so, it still forcefully breaks into everyone's heart.

"Brother, Jie Jiecheng has stopped talking!" Jiang Wenli's voice trembled slightly.

"What Jiecheng! We are on the set now, it's working time!" Lao Zhao swallowed and lowered his voice, "You have to call him by his title, director!"

"Also, can you please relax a little?"

"The next scene we're going to shoot, firstly, is not very difficult, and secondly, we've practiced it so many times, so there's no problem!"

"If I don't say it's passed in one take, I can only shoot three or five times at most. Emmm, seven or eight times!"

"Don't show your weakness first, or you'll do it again seventy or eighty times!"

"Don't worry, brother. I just had some conditioned reflex." Jiang Wenli took a deep breath, "I will be able to adjust quickly!"

The difficulty of the rivalry mainly focuses on Brother Zhao, and I will just be a co-star next.

Just apply the emotions you accumulated during yesterday’s filming!
Jiang Wenli secretly encouraged herself.

Whether from the perspective of comfort or from a practical analysis.

The conclusions are extremely clear: it’s not difficult at all!
Why are you panicking? It's just a pair of sunglasses.

Can you eat people?

"Every unit prepares!"

As the studio finally completed its meticulous arrangement, the executive director picked up the megaphone.

"action!"

Jiang Wenli had already prepared her emotions and was fully focused when facing the camera.

When reciting the lines, he knew where to pause and where to stretch out the lines, and he controlled the rhythm very skillfully.

Use micro-expressions and move around.

Adjust your posture subtly to match the camera's movements.

How to coordinate medium and close-up shots, how to coordinate close-ups. As a professional, it is the most basic skill, just like the lines.

"Dad, what happened?" "Something happened? Nothing!" Old Zhao was full of confusion.

The "doubt" is a bit too much, but it is just right. There is a sense of questioning that is justified and justified.

"We've found the right actor!" Zhen Jiecheng straightened up slightly and stared at the monitor through his sunglasses.

"Are you really okay?"

“It’s okay!” The change from being self-confident to revealing a hint of guilt was not only reflected in the fleeting evasive eyes, but also integrated into the tone of the lines.

The King of Sketches, worthy of his reputation!

"Dad, I just called her!"

"So what?" As if dissatisfied with his guilty conscience, Lao Zhao's tone calmed down again and his expression became hard.

It's like a child who tries to make amends after being embarrassed.

He is just like the “old child” described for old people, and he is a stubborn child who is always doing things wrong!

"Dad, you can't do this to her anymore!"

"What did I do to her? This is my home! You're so funny, you start to criticize me right away. I don't even know who that woman is, and I didn't ask her to come."

Being exposed by a single word, he responded with endless words and a strong statement.

"I hired her to take care of you!"

"What can she do to take care of me? I don't need her." Old Zhao struggled to get up, as if he wanted to prove his words by "taking action". He stumbled at first, and then his steps suddenly became steady and powerful.

The feeling of "forcing oneself to hold on" was particularly obvious, but the action of waving hands seemed calm and nonchalant.

"I don't need anybody."

As Lao Zhao walked out of the screen, the camera focused on the tired and helpless Jiang Wenli.

Everyone looked behind the monitor.

"Pass."

The man in sunglasses did not move, but he spoke sparingly, which surprised everyone.

Jiang Wenli's eyes widened. The old woman in her forties acted like a little girl, clenching her fists and baring her teeth.

"Ready for the next one."

Hearing Zhen Jiecheng speaking again, the people standing there immediately got busy.

An atmosphere of joy began to spread, and everyone seemed to be like a spring wound up with full energy.

Zhen Jiecheng almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw it.

Is it really that important? It's like Chinese New Year.

Although I wore sunglasses, staying up all night is not just for the sake of staying up all night!
Looking back at the footage just now, Lao Zhao's performance was not only vivid and natural, but also very layered. Jiang Wenli also took over the role, so why didn't she pass it?
Damn Wang Jiawei, what he burned was the film of the investors, what about me? That was all Zhen’s money!

The filming continued, Lao Zhao was still online, Jiang Wenli seemed to have gained confidence because she passed the first take in one take, and her state became more and more enthusiastic.

"Dad, she said you scolded her!"

"Did he curse? I don't remember." Old Zhao continued without pausing, "Maybe he did."

Transition to the watch.

The old man claimed that he deliberately left the watch in a conspicuous place and it was stolen.

But when his daughter pointed out where the old man hid his things and found the watch, the old man's first reaction was not the shame of wrongly accusing someone, but the dissatisfaction with his daughter for prying into his privacy.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he told his daughter that he should apologize to the nurse, and then he continued:

"Luckily I hid it in time and she couldn't find it, so she didn't have a chance to do it."

The characters are well-developed and impeccable!

Zhen Jiecheng resisted the urge to raise his thumb and raised the loudspeaker again.

"Pass."

"It would be better if we can keep one."

"Pass."

Continuous success!
Even if it clicks, it will only happen two or three times at most.

The atmosphere in the crew became more cheerful, and Jiang Wenli's mood became brighter.

It was a great shot! It was a great shot!
Compared to yesterday when we only managed to catch one, today’s results are simply off the charts.

So when faced with Zhen Jiecheng's gentle question:

"Sister, are you tired? Can you continue?"

"Yes! Of course!" Jiang Wenli said without hesitation, "As long as you want, it's no problem for me!"

"Phew~ I'm so tired!"

After a busy day of filming, Jiang Wenli returned to her hotel room, took a shower, and started to take care of herself again.

The numbness and soreness when I lifted my legs to wipe off the lotion was the same as yesterday, but my mood was completely different.

She hummed a tune while rubbing her legs, which occasionally rubbed against the trench. The numbing feeling spread out, combining with the soreness of her muscles, making Jiang Wenli hum a few times in comfort.

The next second, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, stood up and took the phone from the bedside table.

"dududu~"

"Hey, Lao Gu."

"Jie Cheng has tortured me so much today. I'm so tired!"

"But today's torment has given me some new insights. Do you want to know?"

Without waiting for a response from the other end of the phone, he asked himself,
"This person has no real ability, but he just likes to ask others if they are happy or not."

"Those who are capable will only ask others if they are tired or if they can continue."

"Okay, Lao Gu, I won't chat with you anymore. I should go to bed. I still have to serve your junior brother tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wenli smiled with great satisfaction, feeling a sense of revenge.

He stood up and opened a corner of the window.

The arrival of the heat wave forms convection with the cold air from the air conditioner, and the troubles caused by "sunglasses" are gone with the wind!
Jiang Wenli opened her arms, causing the two Lei to tremble.

"Great, things are going well!"

"dududu~"

"Hey, Jiecheng, I'm going to hang out with your crew tomorrow."

As Jiang Wen spoke, he picked up his sunglasses and put them on.

He waved to Zhou Yun,

"Wife, bring me my hat."

"What are you doing so much trouble so late at night?" Zhou Yun rolled his eyes, but still went to the cloakroom to find the hat and threw it to Jiang Wen.

"Hey, thank you, wife."

While looking in the mirror,
Well, so damn handsome!

While continuing on the phone,
"Don't worry, Jiecheng, I won't be talking on this visit, I'll just be wearing sunglasses!"

"I'm not here to steal your megaphone. I'm here to meditate and gain enlightenment!"

The next second, there was a sudden shock.

"What the hell? Wang Jiawei is coming over in a few days?"

“This is such a surprise!!!”

Jiang Wen rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Then I won't go tomorrow. I'll wait for Wang Jiawei to come with me!"
