Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 81【Ge Da Ye with Hair】Please read
There are not many scenes in Farewell My Concubine that can be called big scenes, only five in total.
There are all kinds of juggling performances on Tianqiao Street, soldiers cause trouble, causing Juxian to have a miscarriage, Cheng Dieyi is tried in court, a mass trial is held for Yuan Siye, and finally he is paraded through the streets.

Li Yishu has already had people shoot the flyover stunts, and now only these four scenes are left.

Except for the last parade which required a street to be blocked for filming, the rest could be shot indoors.

at dusk.

In the small theater, Li Yishu was discussing with Zhao Fei and the lighting technician what kind of lighting effects should be used at night.

At this time, Gong Li came over in a crimson cheongsam. She touched her big belly which was supported by a round pillow and came to Li Yishu. "It feels weird to wear a cheongsam with a big belly."

Looking at Gong Li's look at this time, Li Yishu looked around and said: "It's okay, the image is not bad, but Sister Gong Li, your belly looks a little fake, only the belly is round and bulging, and the waist is still so thin on both sides. It doesn't look like you are about to give birth."

"It seems to be true."

Gong Li touched her slender waist. From her own perspective, when she looked down at her belly, she saw that it was round in the middle and flat on both sides.

"Just change it."

Li Yishu turned around and shouted to the back: "Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang!"

"Here comes Director Li!"

Sister Zhang from Yanjing Studio, who was in charge of the costumes, ran over and asked breathlessly, "Director Li, what's wrong?"

Li Yishu pointed at Gong Li's belly and said, "You should add some stuff on both sides of Gong Li's belly and waist. It makes her look bloated. How can a big belly only have a big belly? Add some stuffing on both sides."

Sister Zhang glanced at Gong Li's belly and suddenly realized: "I was wondering why I felt something was missing just now. It turns out that there is a little less fat on both sides!"

Hearing this, Gong Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Sister Zhang, I don't want to have any extra fat on my waist."

Sister Zhang laughed and said, "Yes, it's not that it's longer, it's just that I added a little less filler to make it fat."

We are all women. Unless it is absolutely necessary, who would like to have circles of fat around their waist?
"Hurry up and get it done, the shooting will start soon."

Li Yishu waved his hand and told the two to go to the dressing room and get ready before coming back. After that, he saw that the time was almost up, and said to Huo Wenxi behind him: "Go ask Zhang Guorong and the others if they have finished their makeup. When they are done, come over. I will explain this scene to them."

They are going to film a scene today wearing Peking Opera makeup, and both Zhang Guorong and Zhang Fengyi are putting on makeup in the dressing room.

"Okay, Director Li." Huo Wenxi turned around and ran to the dressing room to find someone.

Half an hour later.

After explaining the scenes to the three people, Li Yishu arranged for the stage manager to find extras.

After briefly explaining the content of the next scenes to the extras, Zhao Fei and the others prepared to start filming.

After a while, Zhao Fei stood in the corner of the stage with the camera hanging in the air. He climbed up the ladder and stood firmly. After making sure that the camera could cover the stage and most of the theater, he shouted to Li Yishu, "Director Li, I have adjusted the angle here."

"Then get ready to shoot."

Li Yishu, who was not far from the stage, saw that the photography department was ready, so she asked the stagehands to go over and prepare to start the filming.

"Three, two, one, power on!"

In an instant, the stagehands ran off the stage, and Zhang Guorong was left alone on the stage, beginning to sing Peking Opera in slow motion.

At this time, another photographer pointed the camera at Zhang Guorong's face and took a close-up shot, recording his helplessness and fear when being forced by the soldiers.

A leader of the soldiers shouted, "Hey, why don't you sing?"

Instantly, the soldiers around started quarreling.

Zhang Guorong's face changed slightly. He threw the cloak behind him and turned to leave.

But at this moment, the soldiers in the corner who had received the hint immediately rushed onto the stage, pointing flashlights at "Cheng Dieyi" and started playing tricks on him.

"..."

The filming is still going on, and Li Yishu didn't call for a stop and just kept acting.

Soon it was Zhang Fengyi's turn to play Duan Xiaolou, who came out from the backstage. "Cut!"

Li Yishu suddenly shouted with a loud speaker.

The scene suddenly became quiet. He quickly stepped onto the stage and frowned as he said to Zhang Fengyi, "You can't be so hasty to come here. Stop at the curtain. These are soldiers who have been to the battlefield and killed people without blinking an eye. You have to show your anxiety in your heart and move slowly."

"I understand, Director Li." Zhang Fengyi nodded, a little embarrassed, "Just now I just wanted to rush out to save people."

"One more shot, and then Zhang Fengyi will rush out and start shooting."

After Li Yishu finished making the arrangements, she turned to look at Zhao Fei on the stairs and said, "Director Zhao, how was the previous scene?"

Zhao Fei nodded: "Very good, the camera captured it very clearly."

"Yes, inside there." Li Yishu looked at the opened backstage curtain. There was a photographer inside who specialized in taking pictures of the backstage scenes.

The photographer said, "Director Li, there is no problem with the scenes backstage."

"It's fine as long as there's nothing wrong with it. If there's any problem, we'll go back and reshoot it."

Li Yishu talked about the two people's performance next, and especially reminded Zhang Fengyi to show an image that was both brave and fearful.

The reason for his bravery is that Zhang Fengyi has played the role of Overlord for more than ten years. Drama is like life and has cultivated his character into that of an Overlord. His fear still comes from his truest thoughts. After all, he is just playing the role of Overlord and not the real Overlord.

As Li Yishu was about to go down, she reminded him, "By the way, remember to try to hide when things are thrown later. I'll have the extras throw them for real to make it look more realistic."

"Don't worry, Director Li." Zhang Fengyi smiled.

"Ah."

Li Yishu stepped down from the stage and the filming continued.

After a while, the scene began where the soldiers caused trouble and rushed onto the stage to smash things.

This scene was very important. If something went wrong, it would take a lot of time to re-set the scene. So before the soldiers rushed forward to smash and destroy things, Li Yishu emphasized it again.

Soon, the scene was over, and Li Yishu immediately moved to the backstage to film the scene of Juxian's miscarriage.

Gong Li, who was surrounded by the crowd, had a pale face, beads of sweat on her forehead, and the hair at her temples was wet and stuck to her face. She played the image of someone who was in pain and weak very well.

"Xiao...Xiao Lou, I'm so sorry...just go and do your thing."

At this moment, the camera was aimed at Zhang Fengyi.

Li Yishu also came to the front as soon as possible and observed his expression carefully.

Zhang Fengyi performed well in this scene, portraying the helplessness and anger of a grown man facing his wife's miscarriage, his best friend being arrested, and the theater being smashed very well.

"Cut, this one passed!"

Li Yishu asked, "Coach Zhao, how do you feel over there?"

Zhao Fei nodded: "Very good Director Li, Gong Li's acting is amazing!"

"Okay, let's stop here for today and let the groundskeeper clean up."

Li Yishu walked up to Gong Li and looked at her current appearance. Her face was covered with water droplets and her body was covered with blood. Huo Wenxi happened to bring a white towel at this time. He took it and handed it to Gong Li, "Sister Gong Li, go and deal with it quickly, don't catch a cold."

"Okay." Gong Li nodded.

"Director Li, are you done shooting now?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind. Li Yishu turned around and saw that it was Mr. Ge with the hair.
