Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 14

"Happy birthday!"

"Yo, thank you for remembering my birthday, I thought you would never contact me again."

One mouthful of yours, talking with a gun and a stick, Li Tang held the phone with a puzzled expression on his face.

"what do you mean?"

February 27th is the 25th birthday of my ex-girlfriend, and this is her first birthday after the breakup. In addition, the relationship between the two is somewhat disconnected, so it is reasonable to call to greet her.

I didn't expect to be choked. I didn't contact me for half a year after the breakup dinner last year. This time I only separated for a few days.

"You ask me, I want to ask you, what do you mean?"

"I wish you a happy birthday with good intentions. You are so eccentric. How did I offend you?"

"Blame me? That's right. You are almost becoming a big star. A big star has a circle of big stars. You don't hesitate to talk to me..."

"Wait a minute, what big star... Oh, have you heard about it?"

Li Tang couldn't help laughing, the sour words that went around for a long time were because of this.

"You're still laughing, you didn't even notify me of such a big news."

"What's the notice, showing off to you?"

"Sharing is sharing, do you understand? Can I still not see you?" The ex-girlfriend raised the volume on the phone.

You just can't see me better than you!

Li Tang complained secretly in his heart, but couldn't help laughing out loud.

He knows each other too well, and his ex-girlfriend has always been very strong. If he hears that he has become the leading actor in a gift film from the Shanghai Film Studio, he will definitely go crazy. The jealousy is beyond recognition.

"Laugh, laugh fart!"

Li Tang originally wanted to tease her, but someone called on the set, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I won't chat with you anymore, I'm filming now."

At the end, he added another sentence: "Oh, by the way, I have a suggestion for you. It's okay, don't just follow other people's Beijing movies. It sounds awkward, and it always feels like a scumbag!"

After finishing speaking, he snapped the phone cover shut.

Xiao Mian, don't give her any chance to fight back.

The filming location of "Shanghai Chronicle" is in the film and television paradise in the suburbs.It is mainly composed of Nanjing Road, Shikumen Lane Group, Waibaidu Bridge, Mahler Villa, wharf, church, square and so on.It fully restores the architectural style of old Shanghai in the 30s and 1s, but it is not a 1:[-] restoration, but is reduced in an appropriate proportion. The overall look is a bit cramped and not atmospheric enough.

It has been 16 days since the movie started on NO.[-]. In the early stage, it was mainly shooting some street scenes and group scenes, such as student parades, looting supplies, and the liberation army entering the city.

The shooting of this kind of scene often requires the mobilization of various departments of the crew to cooperate together, so that the entire crew can be fully adjusted, commonly known as "grinding the lens".

These days there is no concept of professional extras, and most of the extras are villagers from the surrounding areas. There are also some important scenes, such as the liberation of the army entering the city, where real troops are used.

There are quite a few shots of Li Tang in these ensemble plays. These days, he has been in the ensemble performances and discovered a lot of interesting things.There are one or two lines in the group performances, or there are some frontal scenes, but they are all familiar faces, and they have often appeared in classic movies produced by Shanghai Film Studio in the past few decades.None of them are protagonists, and they often appear as supporting roles or villains in movies.

They are all actors and troupes from Shanghai Film Studio. They can be regarded as professional green leaves, and some of them have even retired.For them, acting is work, regardless of the size of the role, they work hard.Moreover, there are daily subsidies for filming, and everyone enjoys it.

Today is the first scene between Li Tang and Yuan Quan.The location is in a bar; the plot is that Li Huirong played by Yuan Quan rescued Guo Shaobai played by Li Tang from prison, and Li Huirong comforted Guo Shaobai for the rest of his life.

The set of the bar has been completed, photography and lighting are busy focusing and adjusting lighting, and the assistant director is busy giving lectures to the waiters standing at the counter.

There is an antique gramophone on the counter. It is a big speaker with a box. It does not need to be plugged in. It can work by shaking it. It is purely manual and mechanical. It is said that it can really play vinyl records.

This phonograph, including the antique furniture, decorations and other props in the bar, are the property accumulated by Shanghai Film Studio since its establishment in the 20s.

After all, it has a profound background, for example, the clothing department in the factory is almost catching up with a small clothing factory. This time, the clothing of the main characters is tailor-made according to the characteristics of the age.

"Little Li, are you okay?"

Director Peng Xiaolian came to the scene.

"Director, no problem."

After these days of filming, Li Tang has already seen how this kind-hearted female director can act resolutely on the set.Think about it too, if you don't have this kind of courage, it is impossible to manage such a huge crew.

Peng Xiaolian nodded. After reading the script and filming the previous group scenes, she was basically at ease with Li Tang.

"Where's Yuan Quan, are you alright?"

"Alright, director, here I come."

Yuan Quan, who had just finished her makeup and changed her clothes, ran in in a hurry.

Peng Xiaolian looked at Yuan Quan's clothing and makeup, and then nodded after confirming that there was no problem: "Okay, you guys get ready first, and the shooting will start later."

Yuan Quan walked up to Li Tang tremblingly, glanced at Director Peng who was discussing the lens with the photographer, and whispered, "Brother Li, let's match the words again."

"I got it right several times in the morning, and I think there is nothing wrong with it."

Li Tang turned his head to look at her, and said, "Why are you so nervous? You are not in this state, and you will be deadly accurate when you start shooting. You have to relax and relax."

Yuan Quan said with a mournful face, "I know, but I just can't control it."

Li Tang knows that this is a common problem for newcomers. When facing the camera for the first time, he can't restrain his nervousness.That's how he came here back then.

He comforted: "It's okay, you were in a very good condition when you spoke to me in the morning, and I think you have no problems at all."

Yuan Quan didn't say a word, just lowered his head, sneaking glances at the director and the camera from time to time.

"Hey, drink some of this." Li Tang pointed to the wine glass on the table.

"What, wine?"

"Coke, the gas is gone."

The props brought it up, the deflated Coke pretending to be foreign wine.

"Can you drink it? This is a prop."

"Of course I can drink."

Li Tang picked up the cup and drank it. He licked his lips and said with a smile, "It's very sweet. The sweet taste can make people feel happy and relax. Try it."

Yuan Quan wasn't sure if Li Tang was talking nonsense, and she was a little overwhelmed by the nervousness, so she picked up the cup and took a sip.The sparkling cola tasted sweet, but it did feel a little better after drinking it. She couldn't help but take another sip, and after another sip, she actually drank it all.

"Brother Wang, pour some more." Li Tang turned around and shouted to the waiter standing at the counter.

That's right, the waiter who served as the background board was a temporary cameo by the crew's prop assistant.

Brother Wang took out a large bottle of Coke from under the counter, walked over to pour half a glass, and muttered, "Drink less, this is a prop."

"Refill, refill, don't be so stingy."

Li Tang tapped the table with his fingers, and said again: "Find a clean wine bottle, pour half of it and bring it here."

"Why, this is the only bottle of Coke that has let off steam."

"Tsk, don't worry about it, it will come in handy when you shoot later."

"Uh... okay."

Li Tang held up a full glass of Coke and signaled to Yuan Quan, "How is it? Do you feel better?"

"I need to drink more."

Yuan Quan didn't shy away from it now, picked up the cup and took another big sip. He drank in a hurry, and quickly patted his chest.

Li Tang's eyes followed her movements and stayed on the part where she was shooting.

Good figure, looks quite predictable.

In order to hide his impolite eyes, this guy pretended to be concerned: "Aren't you cold?"

Yuan Quan was wearing a costume - a small black suit with a light-colored shirt and a silk scarf around his neck.

The cold spring was steep, and Li Tang was wearing a suit shirt and a down sweater.

Yuan Quan didn't notice, looked down at his clothes, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I'm wearing a sweater inside."

"Yeah, I can't see it at all."

Li Tang looked her up boldly again, and suddenly said, "Hey, someone as beautiful as you must be your school belle, right?"

"No way, not even class flowers." Yuan Quan's expression froze, shaking his head.

"I do not believe."

"Really, I didn't lie to you. Our class is much prettier than mine."

The guy's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "When you have a chance, you can introduce me later."

When Yuan Quan heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable, "It's okay, but you may be disappointed, they all have boyfriends."

"Then do you have a boyfriend?" the guy asked narrowly.

"Huh? Uh... no."

Being asked so abruptly by him, Yuan Quan didn't react for a moment, and a figure subconsciously appeared in his mind.

"If there is, there will be, if there is no, there will be no, what is there to be?"

Faced with Li Tang's questioning, Yuan Quan shyly shook his head and said, "No...no."

Although the figure in my mind was chasing closely, I didn't seem to have any feelings for that person, and was more concerned about the aura of the best actor on him.

"Clap clap clap!"

At this time, the director's clapping interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Ready to start shooting!"

Yuan Quan quickly sat up straight and took a deep breath.At this moment, she suddenly realized that she was not nervous at all.
