Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 304
Seeing Li Tang's robust figure, Xu Jinglei also showed appreciation, but she immediately curled her lips, a big man is actually so white, cut it!

Glancing at her black body, although she was quite envious in her heart, she was quite open to it.What's the matter with the long black, the black is pretty, anyway, there are many men with my mouth.

Being surrounded by people like this, no matter how thick-skinned Li Tang was, he was still a little embarrassed. He quickly jumped on the bed and lay down against the head of the bed. He picked up the blanket on the bed and covered it a little to avoid being exposed.

In fact, the so-called bed is a Simmons placed on the ground, and a long low cabinet is placed against the wall as the head of the bed, and two desk lamps are placed on each side of the low cabinet.There are few things on the side where Li Tang is lying, just a few books.On the low cabinet where Xu Jinglei slept, there were a lot of odds and ends such as picture frames, alarm clocks, perfume bottles, cordless phones with charging stands, etc.

The artist designed it with great care. For example, although the two table lamps have the same style, the lampshades are different in size. The lower opening of the lampshade on Li Tang's side is wider, and the lampshade on Xu Jinglei's side is more closed.In addition, the colors of the lights are also different. Li Tang's side has a cooler white light, while Xu Jinglei's side has a warm orange color.

The size of the lampshade reflects each other's personalities. The man is carefree; the woman is more careful and considerate of others.The color of the light reflects the different moods of the two at this time.

Jianbin, played by Li Tang, has been unemployed for three months, but he dare not tell Xiaohui.Several times I tried to muster up the courage to be honest with Xiaohui, but I couldn't get the words out of my mouth, and I still had to pretend to be quiet.It can only be said that this damn man's self-esteem.

As a designer of an advertising company, Xiaohui works hard and runs her own small family, hoping to gain a firm foothold in the capital.This is probably the dream of all Beidiao people.

The whole house is actually one, and the house is divided into two with a glass sliding door. The inside is used as a bedroom and the outside is a living room.

At this time, the sliding door was completely opened, and a camera with a tripod was set up in the living room, facing the picture of Simmons in the bedroom. The lens was condescending, and it was a panoramic lens.

There are two camera positions in total. Zhao Xiaoding controls the fixed-position tripod camera, while his apprentice Gao Fei squats beside the bed with another camera to capture close-ups.

"Okay, everyone is ready..."

"Action!"

Li Tang lay leisurely on Simmons, with one leg stretched out and the other knee bent, flipping through a magazine.Xu Jinglei, who had her little butt wrapped in a pair of gray boxers, took out a stack of Grandpa Mao from her bag and put it on the bedside table.

Gao Fei quickly gave a close-up shot of the money, not too much or too little, probably about two thousand.

Because it was a skipping filming, before this scene, Jianbin played by Li Tang was unemployed for three months and had no money to pay the rent. The landlord knocked on the door to press for the rent. Jinglei knew that he could only make up an excuse to cover it up, but Xu Jinglei still took out the money and asked him to pay the rent quickly.

"Let's pay half of the rent first, didn't we agree to go to Xinmatai in the second half of the year!" Xu Jinglei patted the pillow after putting down the money.

Li Tang pretended to read the magazine seriously, and now he dared not talk at all as long as money was mentioned.

Xu Jinglei looked at him and said, "What did you want to tell me just now?"

Looking at the screen on the monitor, Zhang Baibai suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

Then command props: "Throw some magazines on the bed."

The scene of Li Tang lying on Simmons and the other half covered with a beige blanket seemed a bit monotonous. At the same time, Xu Jinglei just standing like this and asking Li Tang seemed a bit deliberate.

So he said to Xu Jinglei again: "Jinglei, talk to Li Tang while cleaning up later."

They are all experienced actors, Xu Jinglei understood instantly, and replied, "Got it."

Although there is no explanation in the script, Zhang Baibai and Li Tang talked with Li Tang during the script reading. Jianbin and Xiaohui are a young couple who came to the capital from the northeast to work hard.Northeast men are more or less machismo in formality, to put it bluntly, they want to save face and pretend to be aggressive.

He is obviously unemployed, and his pockets are cleaner than his face, so why not tell his wife about this?It's nothing more than a man's self-esteem at work, and he can't let go of his face.

Besides, if you are unemployed, then go find a job.Even if I can't find a suitable job for a while, I still refuse to work hard at a low-level job. I wander around the subway station all day, looking very confused. It looks quite artistic, but in the end I am still pretending.It's obvious that he is going to have a soft meal, but he still wants to maintain his cheap self-esteem and refuses to lower his stature.

If it wasn't for Li Tang traveling all over the past few years and seeing too many people of all kinds, to be honest, he really couldn't understand.

Randomly throwing magazines on the bed, in addition to enhancing the saturation of the color of the picture, throwing them away one by one, also reflects the personalities and daily life status of the two characters from the side.

I have to say that Zhang Baibai still has ideas, not the kind of director who just sits in the director's chair and calls "Cut", and then the assistant director does all the work.

"Okay, come again."

"Action!"

"Let's share half the rent first, didn't we agree to go to Xinmatai in the second half of the year!" Xu Jinglei said while cleaning up the magazines thrown on the bed.

Li Tang looked at the magazine in his hand and pretended not to hear it.

Xu Jinglei put the magazine on the cabinet, turned around and said, "What did you want to tell me just now?"

"Oh, no, it's nothing." Li Tang responded vaguely, and deliberately turned the page to cover up.

"Always half-talking."

Xu Jinglei muttered, tidying up the bed, she accidentally knocked over the bag that had just been put on the bed, spilling all the contents on the bed.

Xu Jinglei made the bed, sat down and stuffed everything into her bag, including hand cream, lipstick, small mirror and so on.

At this moment, Li Tang explained with an embarrassed smile: "I forgot what I wanted to say just now."

"You, hurry up and give the money to the landlord tomorrow, or you won't even dare to speak loudly when you go home." Xu Jinglei continued nagging.

At this time, Li Tang stared at the magazine in his hand again, seemingly calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was in turmoil. A man who wanted to save face was unemployed, had no money, and had to use his wife's money to pay the rent. This kind of mood was contradictory. It's painful, I can't express it, I'm so depressed.

Sometimes performances don’t need to be deliberately expressed. If you have emotions, even if you are expressionless, emotions can still be conveyed through your eyes and subtle movements.

He didn't want to talk about this topic, so he looked at the magazine and said, "Look here is a sentence..."

As he spoke, he began to read aloud: "Some people deliberately deceive all people for a period of time, while some people deceive one person all their lives..."

Of course, this passage is not in the magazine, but the lines of the script, and it is also a portrayal of his mood at this time.People are like this. When they are not going well, they will always look for something to find excuses for their not going well.

Jianbin is like this.

Gao Fei held the camera steadily, first gave Li Tang a close-up shot, and then naturally lowered his hands as he read aloud.The camera moves following Li Tang's lowered arm.

When his hand touched the red Zip lighter on the bed sheet, freeze frame, close-up.

The moment his hand touched the lighter, there was a slight pause, and then he slowly picked it up.At this time, the camera is always staring at the red lighter in Li Tang's hand, which looks particularly bright against the background of gray sheets.

At this time, Li Tang's facial expression was deliberately blurred in the camera, but Li Tang still didn't show much on his face when he was performing. If you smoke, then the appearance of this lighter is worth pondering.

A man who cares about face will definitely think too much, but at this moment he is eating soft food and can't be hard, so he can only remind him in his own way, or let him vent.

He saw him opening the lighter with one hand, and with a "ding" sound, Xu Jinglei, who had just lowered her head and packed her things with a smile, looked up and her expression suddenly froze.

According to the plan in advance, first the lid was opened with a "ding", and then the lighter was lit. A close-up of a flame appeared in the camera, and then a close-up of Xu Jinglei's frozen expression was captured.

But at this time, he didn't hit once, and still didn't hit twice.

"Stop, stop, stop! Props, what's going on?"

It should be said that the two acted very well in this section. Zhang Baibai was staring at the monitor and immersed in it, and the appearance of this scene inevitably made him a little angry.

"Oh, sorry director!"

Props hurried over to check, and at the same time apologized to Li Tang and Xu Jinglei in a hurry: "Mr. Li, Mr. Xu, I'm sorry!"

Li Tang was still lighting the fire, seven or eight times in a row, but it didn't catch.I was a little bit annoyed in my heart, the acting went well originally, all the emotions were in place, but because of the mistakes of the props, I was interrupted all the time, no one would be happy.

This prop was very clever. He took the lighter from Li Tang's hand. He didn't light it up to see if it would fail, but quickly asked his assistant to bring kerosene and flint, and quickly changed the flint and kerosene.

With the sound of "ding", a ball of flames burst out. To be on the safe side, after trying several times in a row, it caught fire with just one blow.Props then handed the lighter to Li Tang, and apologized again: "Mr. Li, Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I didn't do my job well."

After filming so many scenes, everyone knows that if you take the props just now, try them out. If you hit them, whose fault is it?Is it because Li Tang can't use it, or is this lighter magical?

So as long as they are on the shooting scene, the director and actors are always the biggest, and the behind-the-scenes workers need to take the blame in addition to supporting.But anyway, now the lighter works.

Li Tang and Xu Jinglei glanced at each other, just watched the props operate a bit, even if they were upset, their anger disappeared at this moment.

"Teacher Liu, I'm sorry."

Li Tang took the lighter and was polite.

"It's all right, Mr. Li, please be polite!" Dou Liu waved his hands repeatedly.

A small mistake caused by work quickly passed. We are all smart people, so it won't affect our mood.

Sometimes it’s really no wonder that some actors play big names on the shooting scene.Because actors are very fragile, especially those who are experiential, who are immersed in the emotions of the characters. If they are interrupted rashly, it is really a terrible thing, and it is easy to cause emotional loss.

Li Tang took the lighter in his hand and tried a few times. After confirming that there was no problem, he raised his hand to Zhang Baibai: "Director, we can start filming."

"Okay, start over!"

"Action!"

"Ding!"

The cover was opened, and then the gears rubbed against the flint, and with the sound of "Crack!", a ball of flame burst out.

Li Tang's face was still blurred in the camera, but he still stared blankly at the flames for about two or three seconds, and the lighter shook in his hand.

Xu Jinglei's expression was frozen at first, but then she became calm, especially after the lighter shook a bit, she looked at the flame on the lighter, and her whole body completely relaxed from the tense state.

This is the result of Li Tang's discussion with her just now at the door.

The lighter belongs to Tiger, the owner of the coffee shop. Tiger wants to pursue her and leaves the lighter on her on purpose.But she has a clear conscience and needs no explanation.

Li Tang shook his hand again, this time the lid of the lighter fell down, the flame went out, and then Li Tang returned the lighter to Xu Jinglei.

This shot is very interesting, it is a close-up shot, and only Li Tang's hand appears in the shot, holding a lighter and passing it over.

Xu Jinglei took the lighter and looked at it in her hand. Although she didn't need to take the initiative to explain at this moment, she really hoped that Li Tang could ask, what's the matter with this lighter?

But Li Tang didn't ask anything, just continued to look at the magazine in his hand, continued the topic just now and asked: "What do you think of this sentence?"

"what does it mean?"

Xu Jinglei was very disappointed, she pretended not to understand, she simply put the lighter into the bag quickly, stood up and put the bag away, turned off the overhead light, and said: "Go to sleep."

He lifted the blanket and got in, then raised his hand to turn off the desk lamp on his side.

Li Tang's expression was a little subtle, a little disappointed, a little tangled, and he seemed to be relieved. He glanced at Xu Jinglei who was sleeping beside him with her eyes closed. After a little hesitation, he closed the magazine and put it on the short bedside table. On the cabinet, turn off the lamp.

The only light source was turned off and the camera was completely dark. It lasted for two seconds before Zhang Baibai shouted: "Stop!"

These two seconds of dark shots are probably the so-called blank space.

Zhang Baibai watched the replay carefully again, a little bit tangled, but finally shouted: "Pass!"

Just kidding, with a total of 300 million cash investment, the film is very expensive, so you can't let your own temper do it.

Li Tang finished her task today, Xu Jinglei still had two shots to shoot, she put on her clothes and went to the next door with her assistant to change and put on makeup.Li Tang also went to take off his makeup and changed into his own clothes.

Back at the studio, I saw Gao Yuanyuan standing behind Zhang Baibai with her butt pouted, watching the footage played back on the monitor.

Li Tang didn't bother, and walked over to take a look. It was the scene he and Xu Jinglei were filming just now.He basically doesn't watch the replays when shooting, because he can definitely find out what he is not satisfied with, so what should he do?I can't let the staff on the scene and the actors of the opposite show accompany me to do another one.

And acting is a very subjective thing, and you can always find something you are not satisfied with.So, don't watch it at all, and leave the judging criteria to the director.

At this time, he didn't watch his own performance, but paid more attention to Xu Jinglei's performance.Her acting skills can't be said to be very good, but she is very relaxed during the performance.It is already rare for an actor to relax when performing, at least there will be no signs of deliberation.And in the lighter scene, the subtle changes in her expression are also well acted, so that the audience can accurately detect her mental activities at this time through the subtle changes in her expression.

"How about it, did you gain anything?"

He took this opportunity to guide Gao Yuanyuan, a girl outside the door.

Zhang Baibai also listened very seriously. He is also a layman when it comes to acting. He only knows how to act well, but he can't tell what is so good about it.So after listening to Li Tang's analysis, he suddenly became enlightened.

"Brother Li, I understand."

Gao Yuanyuan feels that she has also gained a lot.To be honest, she was not convinced by Xu Jinglei from the very beginning, thinking that Xu Jinglei pretended, her private life was chaotic, and she did not hesitate to be a mistress with an old man for the sake of resources. One of the so-called "four little female roles" was just luck.

But through Li Tang's analysis, she found out that she was born in a major, and she didn't study for nothing in four years of college, and she was still far behind!
