Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 303 No Contrast No Harm

"I wish "Subway to Spring" a good start!"

In front of Studio No. [-] of the Beijing Film Studio, there was an altar table covered with red velvet cloth, with a portrait of Guan Erye on it, as well as fruit plates, snacks and other tributes. The camera next to it was covered with a red cloth.

Everyone took turns offering incense, and finally Zhang Baibai lifted the red cloth on the camera.

Li Tang didn't believe this in his two lifetimes, but now it has become a fixed procedure of the opening ceremony.Out of the need for a sense of ritual, he followed the crowd.

Society is like this, as long as most people accept something, you have to accept it even if you don’t like it, so that you can be accepted by most people, instead of being a maverick and appearing out of place.

Originally, today's opening ceremony should have been hosted by him, the investor and male lead, but he still gave it to Zhang Baibai, which can be regarded as helping him establish his authority as a director.

After the opening ceremony, the staff began to prepare for the shooting. They had put on their makeup and were wrapped in a down jacket. Xu Jinglei was exchanging some shooting ideas with Zhang Baibai.As a talented girl, she always has a lot of ideas, and I heard that she plans to develop in the direction of a director.

Li Tang was also chatting with Liu Fou about the script, mainly for the part of the second female lead Wang Li.The girl really couldn't help her up, so she could only cut some of the difficult scenes, so as not to spoil the whole pot of porridge with a mouse dropping.

After the chat, as soon as Liu Fendou left, Gao Yuanyuan approached Li Tang, looked at Li Tang and said, "Brother Li, why did you go last night?"

Li Tang's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, relying on his self-cultivation as a powerful actor, he didn't show it on his face. On the contrary, he showed a surprised expression and said, "Why didn't you do it? You're at home. It's not like you don't know."

Gao Yuanyuan asked suspiciously, "Then why didn't you change your clothes?"

Only then did Li Tang understand what the problem was. Maybe it was also a bad habit of his, that is, he had to change clothes every day when he went out.

Because in the previous life in the United States, you must change your shirt and tie every day when you go to work. If you don’t change it, it means you didn’t go home last night.So he has also developed this habit. He may not necessarily wear a tie, but his shirt must be changed every day.Even after traveling here, he still maintains the habits of his previous life, and because he has a lot of clothes, he basically changes every day.

In fact, in China, especially in winter, it is normal not to change clothes for two or three days or even a week.Maybe it was because Li Tang changed his clothes frequently that Gao Yuanyuan's attention was attracted.

At least it shows that Li Tang is a clean person.A tall, handsome, rich, talented, and clean boy will naturally attract girls' attention.

"Oh, I was in a hurry to go out this morning, so I didn't bother to change." Li Tang said with a look of sudden realization.

He slept in the Jianguo Hotel at the front door last night, and of course he was still wearing yesterday's clothes. He didn't expect Gao Yuanyuan to observe so carefully.

Only then did Gao Yuanyuan feel relieved: "I said, I saw you wearing this outfit yesterday, why are you still wearing it today!"

Li Tang didn't want to entangle her with this topic, so as not to show his flaws, he changed the topic and said, "Why are you here today?"

Her role was relatively late, and she didn't have to attend today's opening ceremony, just like Lao Fan, Ke Lan, and Wang Li didn't come, but she just came.

"Idle is idle, come and study."

As she said that, she still looked at Li Tang with a smile and said, "Didn't you always say that my acting skills are not good?"

Of course Li Tang understood that her ulterior motives were not in drinking, why would a pretty girl pester him because of Mao?But if it's annoying, he is still a little bit proud, which shows that his buddy is attractive, and that's why everyone loves him, and flowers bloom when they see flowers.

It is precisely because of this thought that when faced with Gao Yuanyuan's attack, he is always sticky, afraid to pick but also reluctant to refuse.In layman's terms, it means that there is evil heart but no courage.

But last night, Jiang Qinqin's tenderness gave him a lot of confidence. Facing Gao Yuanyuan's excuse, he immediately said without pretending: "Since you are here to study, why are you still standing there, why don't you go in!"

"what?"

Gao Yuanyuan was obviously taken aback, but she immediately flattered her and said, "Brother Li, what do you want to eat today, I'll go shopping later."

The trick of cooking is very effective, and she plans to make the relationship between the two of them a step further through cooking.

It's a pity that she made a wrong calculation today, Jiang Qinqin came, even if she didn't mention it, Li Tang was planning to tell her about it.

"No, I have something to do during this time, so I don't eat at home, so you don't have to bother anymore. Oh, you have worked hard these days, thank you!"

Gao Yuanyuan didn't expect this to be the result, she froze on the spot, her big talking eyes flickered, and the eye sockets turned red slowly.

"Brother Li, are you bothering me? If you're bothering me, just say it straight and don't beat around the bush."

"Uh……"

Perhaps Li Tang's tone just now was indeed a bit blunt. He originally wanted to cut the mess quickly, but he didn't expect Gao Yuanyuan to do such a thing to himself.

There were people coming and going at the entrance of the studio, and this scene immediately attracted a lot of gossiping eyes. Fortunately, everyone knew it. While taking a glance at the secret gossip in their hearts, they all looked away, tacitly knowing each other, or looking at each other. , secretly happy in my heart.

Li Tang couldn't care less, he quickly pulled her aside, and said helplessly, "I'm really busy during this time, I didn't mean to make excuses."

To be honest, he hates being sticky and upset, but when facing Gao Yuanyuan, he still can't harden his heart.Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan kept her head down and said nothing, he could only sigh secretly, and said, "Well, can I treat you to dinner after I'm done working this time?"

Is this a date?
Depending on how you understand it, from Gao Yuanyuan's point of view, this may be the case. After all, this is the first time Li Tang invited herself to dinner.

She finally raised her head and looked at Li Tang with sparkling eyes, as if she wanted to see through her heart. Finally, the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing that fresh and sweet smile, and said, "Then I'll wait."

……

In the studio, a dark night scene is created, the background is cold, and the orange light is coming from the side. Xu Jinglei is wearing a small suspender, sitting on a tea-red sofa facing the camera, her eyes are deep, and her face is full of smiles. It's very miserable, but it's not called miserable, it's just that when her face is serious, it already has a bit of bitterness.

After a silence of more than ten seconds, he opened his mouth and said, "They all call me Xiaohui... In fact, I am already very content. I have been able to live with Jianbin for seven years..."

This is a monologue scene, which has been filmed seven or eight times.

The rhythm of speaking and the changes in lighting were adjusted every time. It’s not that Xu Jinglei’s performance was not good, but that the first scene required not only getting used to it, but Zhang Baibai was also pursuing various possibilities.

"Cut!"

Finally, after the shot, Zhang Baibai watched the playback carefully again, then stood up and raised his short and thick arms and said, "Okay, it's over!"

Xu Jinglei, who was sitting in front of the camera, finally breathed a sigh of relief, tightly wrapped the down jacket her assistant put on, took a sip of hot coffee, and shouted to Zhang Baibai, "Director, can you take a break?"

"it is good!"

The first shot was shot fairly smoothly. As the first film shot of his directing career, Zhang Baibai was a little more excited.He looked up at the venue and asked again, "Is Teacher Li ready?"

"Ms. Li is still putting on makeup." An assistant director nicknamed "Mouse" quickly responded.

Although Zhang Baibai has filmed several TV series, this filming is a new field for him, and he specially found a few experienced assistant directors.

Mouse is one of them. Although he is only a student of the Photography Department of Beitel, he studied directing in the Art Department of Beijing Normal University before, and the graduation work "Thursday , Wednesday" won the Best Director Award at last year's Beijing College Student Film Festival.

Li Tang put on his makeup, adjusted his hair, changed his clothes, wrapped himself in his coat, and hurried to the studio with the script in one hand and a thermos in the other.

Zeng Jia had always said before that she would find an assistant for him, but she couldn't find one right now.As his celebrity status is getting higher and higher, it always feels a little strange not to have an assistant by his side, and at the same time, it will more or less cause trouble for other actors in the same crew who have assistants.What's more, I didn't feel it when I was playing a supporting role before, but now that I'm playing the leading role, I have more and more roles, and it's really inconvenient not to have an assistant by my side.

As soon as she walked to the door of the studio, she saw Xu Jinglei walking out wrapped in a down jacket.

"Finished?"

"Well, it's finally over. One?"

Xu Jinglei held a cigarette in her mouth, and handed over the cigarette case.

People in the capital like to smoke the Zhongnanhai with white filter tips, but Li Tang was not used to smoking this, so he waved his hand and declined.Because it will be a sex scene between the two of them for a while, he thinks it is necessary to communicate.

It's not a particularly intense one, it's just a conversation between two people, but the scene that happens is on the bed.There are only lines in the script, but the performance is not just like two people talking face to face. First, they need to design their respective positions, such as lying, sitting, or standing, and there are also some small movements that need to be coordinated during the dialogue. Wait, these all belong to the category of performance creation.

Li Tang told her about his idea, and Xu Jinglei filtered his words in her mind while smoking a cigarette, and finally threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it to grind it, and said: "Okay, no problem."

Because it is the first time to cooperate, although there have been exchanges during the script reading before, the real shooting will definitely encounter various unimaginable problems.So it is necessary to communicate, so that everyone knows what is in their hearts.

Of course, if you meet a powerful actor, the situation may be different. For example, someone will confidently tell you that I can take on any role.

Xu Jinglei continued, "Then let me tell you what I think."

She is a bit addicted to cigarettes, and smoking is not allowed in the studio. After taking seven or eight consecutive shots, she probably got exhausted, and she wanted to get a cigarette again.Seeing this, Li Tang quickly took out the Sanwu from his pocket and handed one over: "Pick mine."

"Yo, so you smoke this! I'm not picky eaters."

Xu Jinglei took it with a smile, and out of the gentlemanly demeanor of a man, Li Tang quickly ordered it for her.

It was a bit windy outside, she held the flame of the lighter with both hands, and after lighting it, she tapped twice on the back of Li Tang's hand holding the lighter with her fingers very skillfully.

There are inevitably conflicts between her thoughts and those Li Tang said just now, not necessarily for the sake of stealing the show, but because of their different understandings.This needs to be collided, and whoever is reasonable listens to whom.Otherwise, it is to act out according to their own ideas, and leave the final judgment to the director.

Fortunately, for the first cooperation and the first rivalry, everyone was more polite and quickly reached a consensus.

When the two entered, the lights were still being arranged in the shed.When shooting scenes at night during the day, the best effect can only be achieved by shooting in the studio. There is more room for lighting arrangement and camera position selection.

The scene in the studio is the rental house where Jianbin and Xiaohui live together. The layout of the tube building structure looks a little shabby. In order to highlight the visual effect, the background is mainly red. For example, the walls of the bathroom are painted red, and the pillowcases are red. , the red three-seater sofa, the three-seater sofa and so on.

Mouse is the assistant director who is directing the arrangement of lighting and camera positions, while director Zhang Baibai sits firmly on the Diaoyutai behind the monitor.It is also understandable that Zhang Baibai, who graduated from the Department of Chinese Opera and Literature, is in charge of the overall control, and can only rely on professional assistant directors to assist in professional matters.

Seeing the two people coming in, Zhang Baibai said, "Do you want to go through it first?"

"No need, let's just take a picture." Xu Jinglei said in front of Li Tang, and then she turned her head and smiled at Li Tang.

Gao Yuanyuan, who was sitting next to her and studying, happened to see this scene, and muttered silently a few times with an expression of displeasure, as if she was saying "vixen" or something like that.

Just then the mouse shouted: "Director, it's OK."

Zhang Baibai picked up the loudspeaker: "Okay, everyone get ready."

For bed scenes, you must take off your clothes.Xu Jinglei took off the down jacket wrapped around her body, revealing the little purple suspenders inside, and then boldly took off her jeans in front of a dozen or so people at the scene, revealing two rather slender black legs, which are good to wear What he wore was a pair of gray boxers, not the hotter briefs, but they were still tightly wrapped, giving off a little sex appeal.

Just as Li Tang took off his coat, revealing the white hurdling vest inside, Gao Yuanyuan ran over and acted as a little assistant and said, "Brother Li, give it to me."

Seeing this scene, several staff members outside the studio subconsciously glanced at each other, showing subtle expressions.

In mid-March, although the daytime temperature is basically above ten degrees, it is still cold after all, and it still feels cool to be shirtless.

However, when Li Tang took off his coat and exposed his strong triceps and back deltoids outside his hurdling vest, the staff on the scene showed unexpected expressions. Gao Yuanyuan, who was helping with the clothes, couldn't look away for a while, and didn't react until Li Tang took off his pants and handed them to her.

There is no harm without comparison. Compared with Xu Jinglei's black body, Li Tang's figure in boxer pants and tight hurdling vest is more pleasing to the eye, especially those long legs, which are strong and powerful at first glance. Full of action!
