1979 Golden Age

The hot water in the bathhouse of Beijing Film Studio is not supplied every day, so you have to choose a day to take a bath.

There is hot water today.

That night, Gong Xue came back from taking a shower, shivering in her military coat and ran into the room, holding the heater to warm herself up for a while. She has been in the capital for several years, but she still can't adapt to winter, which is dry and cold.

After her body recovered, she combed her hair and stood in front of the mirror, staring at it with a smile on her lips.

After a while, my eyes started to feel sore, and after a while, I shed tears unconsciously, but the corner of my mouth was always smiling, and Chen Qi's voice kept echoing in my mind:

"If you keep your eyes open for a long time without blinking, you will shed tears. This is called external strength. At the same time, you are brewing in your heart, recalling the emotions of that night and letting yourself cry slowly. This is called internal strength.

To be an actor, you must have your own characteristics. You can start with crying scenes and become the actress who cries best in China. It’s not that you cry with snot and tears, but the particles are clear and fall like pearls, but don’t look sad, smile, laugh and shed tears...

There are still two days left, enough for you to practice. "

If Gong Xue has watched Qiong Yao's drama, she will know that this kind of crying method is standard for every heroine. Qiong Yao's heroines may have bad views and roaring acting skills, but they must cry beautifully!

Chen Qi has been teaching her star acting, not actor acting.

The acting skills of celebrities are quite good, they are good-looking, quick, the audience likes them, and they can win awards...

"Well!"

Gong Xue practiced for a long time, and her facial muscles twitched. She rubbed her face and rested for a while, then continued practicing.

She was very motivated, and she always had the feeling that the guy looked down on her acting skills and was a little unconvinced.

…………

In late December, "Love in Lushan" will finally be completed.

Fine snow is falling in the capital, falling one after another, and the whole city is covered in white. Chen Qi arrived at the studio early in the morning, greeting this and that. Finally, he came next to Gong Xue and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure?"

"No, but I want to try."

Gong Xue bit her lip and was a little worried: "Will Director Wang scold me?"

"At most, she thinks you didn't act well and you don't know what we are doing. If you don't show it, just act as usual. It doesn't matter. We can try again later."

"Um!"

She nodded vigorously.

"Let me say a few words first! We have one big show and two small ones left. We will try to complete the task today and don't delay. Don't let everyone lose their minds. If I find someone who is slacking off, don't blame me for being rude!"

Leaders/managers these days, no matter what industry they are in, are all capable of doing ideological work.

Wang Haowei got vaccinated and with a wave of his hand, it started today.

We filmed two small scenes first, and they were completed smoothly. Then we filmed the scene that Chen Qi talked about. Tang Guoqiang, Zhang Jinling, and the veteran actors who played their parents were all present.

"Get ready, try it first!"

"3, 2, 1, start!"

Tang Guoqiang and others stood nearby, Zhang Jinling looked unhappy, because according to the plot sequence, she had not accepted the heroine yet, and she would not accept it until after the scene of loving the country and the country.

Gong Xue was wearing an exquisite white suit with her back on her back and did not dare to face it.

The veteran actor who played her father stood behind her and consoled her: "I've heard Geng Hua say that you are a good girl. Your father lives overseas and never forgets his motherland!"

"Forgive me, kid. Some things are easy for you young people to solve, but for us old men who have been fighting for half our lives, it is not as easy as reading newspapers or singing songs.

We have to think about it and fight in our hearts.

Write a letter to your father, saying that the realization of the four modernizations of the motherland requires the unification of the country, the unity and stability of the nation, and I welcome him to come back and take a look at the motherland in the new era! "

"Uncle Geng..."

Gong Xue slowly turned around, and the old actor smiled and said, "You shouldn't call me uncle now."

"Then what should I call you?"

"You should call me daddy."

"..."

Gong Xue was startled, searching for muscle memory based on the two days of practice. He was surprised at first, then joyful, but the tears did not fall, secretly thinking it was bad.

"stop!"

Wang Haowei called out and said strangely: "Xiao Gong, what's your expression? Do you want to cry or laugh?"

"I'm sorry, director, I wasn't sure!"

"It doesn't matter, do it again!"

"stop!"

"stop!"

"stop!"

"Xiao Gong, come here!"

Wang Haowei was not angry, but was confused and asked: "What happened to you today? Did something happen?"

"No."

"Why do I feel that you are absent-minded and your expression is very strange? If you have anything, you must tell me."

"Director, I'm just not in good mood. Can you give me some time?"

"Then take a rest first!"

Anyway, it was about to be finished, so Wang Haowei was not in a hurry. Gong Xue wrapped her military coat tightly and huddled on the stool in aggrieved manner. She glanced at Chen Qi secretly, and the guy actually made a helpless gesture.

"It's really difficult!"

She lowered her head, covered her ears, and closed herself in for the time being, trying to recall the feeling of that night.

What happened that night?

It seems like a long time ago... Oh, by the way, it was on the day of the National Day party. I went for a walk and met him. We talked about the performance and then we walked together. The path was very quiet. I remember there was clouds on the horizon...

I don't know why, but I told him a lot.

Shanghai, parents. When I was a teenager, I went to work in the countryside and worked very hard in farming. Later, I became an art soldier. I walked dozens of miles a day. My feet were worn out and I didn’t dare to say a word, for fear that everyone would have opinions about me.

But, I was really in pain at the time...

"Well!"

Emotions were like a rushing tide, washing through her mind one after another, stimulating her five senses. She suddenly had a feeling. Although she couldn't describe it, she knew it was the feeling Chen Qi mentioned.

"Director, I can do it!"

"Is it really okay?"

"Um!"

"Okay, let's do it again!"

The old actor continued to feed her, saying: "You shouldn't call me uncle now."

"Then what should I call you?"

"You should call me daddy."

"..."

Gong Xue raised her eyes, hesitating like a frightened little rabbit, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but in her eyes, pearl-like tears fell.

"this!"

Wang Haowei couldn't help but lean back because she wanted to raise her eyes and see more clearly.

From her perspective, Gong Xue's face seemed to have become some kind of treasure, very, very beautiful and shining. She believed that no one in the audience would not like this scene, and she even regretted it, hey! How nice that this is a real shot!

"dad!"

With the final burst of emotion, this scene was instantly pushed to the highest level.

"good!"

Wang Haowei shouted loudly and clapped his hands first.

While everyone was surprised, they couldn't help but whisper. They didn't know what the heroine of a romance movie should look like before, but now everyone thinks she should be like this, so beautiful, so soft, and so good-looking even when she cries!

"..."

Gong Xue's cheeks were flushed, her emotions still lingering. It was the first time that she felt like she was performing so happily, and she glanced at someone.

For the first time, someone truly praised her and gave her a thumbs up.

(No more...)
