Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 327 Benzi’s troubles

"good, very good!"

Lou Ye's voice came from the walkie-talkie, but no one at the scene took it seriously. After two days of shooting, the same sentence was used every time he was called to stop. There was no creativity at all.And everyone knows what the next line will say.

Sure enough, the next thing I heard was: "All departments hurry up and prepare, there's another one!"

In fact, when shooting on-site, one more thing is not easy to come up with. Photography, lighting, props, including the scheduling of on-site extras and the positioning of the main actors must be prepared from scratch before the shooting can be restarted.

The on-site executive director repeated the director's intention with a loudspeaker, and the staff on site immediately became busy, and the extras returned to their original positions one by one under the command of the assistant director.

Fortunately, after two days of shooting, everyone was used to it and everything seemed in order. Zeng Jian, who was responsible for shooting the synchronized documentary, carried the camera and meticulously recorded the situation at the scene.

This is a steel factory that has long ceased production. Before the start of filming, the crew had arranged it here a month in advance. The main purpose was to eliminate modern traces and restore the original appearance as much as possible.

It is said that this steel factory was built during the puppet Manchukuo period and was a Japanese-funded enterprise. Most of the steel produced here was used in the War of Aggression against China and the Pacific battlefield.

Later, after it was taken over by Lao Maozi, most of the equipment was dismantled and shipped back to China.After our party took over, we demolished the east wall to repair the west wall, gathered the old equipment left by the Japanese at that time, and restored it bit by bit to resume production.Not only did it support battlefields across the country, but it also played an indelible role in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, not to mention greatly supporting socialist construction after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Now this factory has completed its historical mission and has come to an end.At this time, we have returned to the beginning of the establishment of this factory, recording the vicissitudes of the past in the movie lens, and continuing to exert its remaining heat.

"Photography in place!"

"Lighting done!"

"The extras are ready!"

"The recording is all fine!"

"..."

The intercom kept ringing with the sounds of each group getting ready. Everything was ready. As the scorer hit the board, the executive director took the loudspeaker and shouted: "Start!"

The scene suddenly became lively, and the dust was raised along with the steam.Flames spurted from the pipes, and the furnace was once again ablaze.

However, the so-called fire in the furnace is just an atmosphere created on the spot. In fact, the fire light is only replaced by orange lights.

This is a long shot. From the upward shot, you can see Nakamura Hyung, who is wearing a blue one-piece overalls, carrying a canvas bag, and hanging around his neck is a white towel that has been wiped with sweat and has obvious stains from the steaming bag. Walking down the iron escalator of the blast furnace.

On the way, I met two workers. The workers took off their hats and saluted, and Nakamura Heng bowed back.When I walked to the door of the workshop, I met a group of extras dressed as workers.

"goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

Before September [-]th, although the Japanese occupied the Liaodong Peninsula and the South Manchuria Railway, they were ceded during the Qing government.The Japanese-owned factories in the Northeast are somewhat similar to restructured wholly foreign-owned enterprises. They have Japanese management, Japanese engineers, and a large number of Chinese workers. Although there is exploitation, on the whole they get along relatively harmoniously. After all, Everyone is here to eat.

The camera followed Hiroshi Nakamura. When he walked through a dusty steelmaking workshop, he covered his mouth and nose with a white towel around his neck. When he came out, the white towel turned into a gray towel.He didn't care, he just pulled down the towel, walked towards the camera step by step, from far to near, and finally stopped in front of the camera, looking left and right, as if he was looking for something...

"Cut!"

"good, very good……"

Lou Ye's voice came from the intercom.

It's just that this time Lou Ye paused after making the usual agreement.Just when everyone was holding their breath hoping to hear "passed", what came was his hesitant voice: "Uh... take a break for 10 minutes!"

"call--"

Almost unanimously, everyone became discouraged. A 10-minute break showed that the director was not satisfied and wanted to start over.

When the translator conveyed the director's meaning to Nakamura Hiroshi, who was still standing in front of the camera with his head held high, the guy's head immediately dropped and he walked towards the rest area without saying a word.

Li Tang and Zhang Ziyi were also sitting in the rest area. Li Tang was observing and Zhang Ziyi was wearing makeup.Classmate Xiao Zhang has a bald forehead. His not-too-thick hair is parted tightly in the middle, and the hair on both sides is followed by two braids.The key is her face. There is no eyebrow line, false eyelashes, or lipstick. She even paints her face more yellow with that dull paint. At first glance, she looks like a sallow-looking girl with yellow hair.

She was wearing a white shirt that looked gray and unwashed. The shirt was soft and paired with a soy sauce-colored vest. The lower body was a blue skirt that covered her knees to her calves. However, the skirt was a little washed. Turned white.

This kind of dress was called foreign students at that time, especially if the women were still in school, which showed that the family conditions were good, at least middle-class or above.As for the skirt being washed and turned white, it only shows that the printing and dyeing technology at that time was not up to par. Coupled with her sallow face and slightly unkempt hair, it fully illustrates the conditions and people's hardships in that era. Even if the middle-class and above lived a life The income is not generous.

In this regard, the crew's art designer Liu Weixing did a very meticulous job.

Zhong Cunheng walked in and saw Zhang Ziyi who was waiting with a look of shame. He bowed deeply and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Zhang, for causing you trouble!"

The two people who were sitting and chatting quickly stood up when they saw this. Zhang Ziyi was still a little confused. Before the translator following Zhong Cunheng had time to translate, Li Tang finished his work.

After listening to Li Tang's translation, Zhang Ziyi suddenly smiled, bent slightly and said, "It's okay, this is normal."

As he spoke, he made a cheering gesture commonly used by Japanese people and encouraged: "Nakamura-kun, come on!"

"Hi!"

Nakamura Hiroshi could understand this sentence without a translator, and he quickly bowed again with a learned look on his face.

Little Japan is like this. On the surface, he is always very polite, sincere, and polite, but no one knows what his true thoughts are on the inside.

However, Zhang Ziyi is really not being polite. The reason why she sat firmly without any complaints is because this girl has been filming "2046" directed by Wong Kar-Wai. The filming lasted for more than half a year and the filming was completed this time. After "Purple Butterfly", I have to continue filming, and my mental quality has been strengthened.So compared to the King of Sunglasses, Lou Ye is nothing like him, he is very stable.

After some polite greetings, everyone sat down again. Li Tang looked at him specifically, and saw that guy had a bitter look on his face after he sat down. He had been filming this scene over and over again for two days.

Although he always had a very good attitude during filming and worked diligently without any complaints, but as he started over again and again, the director never gave him a clear signal, and he became numb.

For example, in the scene he just shot, he felt very good about himself. He had avoided all the problems that had occurred during the previous shooting after reflection, and it was almost flawless, but the director was still dissatisfied.He doesn't even know what to do next now, so he can't repeat it again, can he?

As a second-tier Japanese actor with an idol background, it was actually not easy for him to get this role.Japan has always admired the West. The top celebrities are trying every possible means to break into Hollywood, while the second-tier celebrities are thinking about how to win awards at international film festivals.Although Japan has produced many directors who have won awards at the three major European film festivals, after all, it is a small country with limited scope.

At present, China seems to be still very backward, but it has developed extremely rapidly in recent years, and the country has a large number of talents. The new generation of so-called sixth-generation directors headed by Zhang Yuan, Lou Ye, and Chief Jia have risen at an alarming rate and have received good reports overseas. Passed frequently.

It's just that because these are all underground movies, they go against mainstream consciousness.Just like this time at the Cannes Film Festival, "Women Don't Cry" directed by Liu Bingjian received very high reviews, but when it came to the domestic mainstream media, it was completely silent. At most, it only reported a few words online.

Therefore, their popularity and awareness among the domestic audience is very limited, but it has caused quite a stir among Bangzi and Benzi. After all, they are both Asian films, and they have won awards and received praise at international film festivals dominated by white men. With honor.

This time, I was invited by Lou Ye to star in "Purple Butterfly". Although I only played the second male villain role, if I can go to the three major European film festivals, for an actor with an idol background, then Definitely an improvement in my status.Not to mention, Teruyuki Kagawa, who starred in Jiang Wen's movie "The Devil Is Coming" two years ago, is a good example.

So he has been working hard since receiving the script and really wanted to play this role well.It's a pity that he was given a slap in the face right after filming started, and one scene was shot for two days.

Just when he was confused and distressed, he accidentally looked up and caught Li Tang's gaze.He quickly put away the scowl on his face and nodded politely.

But at this moment, he felt something in his heart. Since he had no choice and there was no specific guidance from the director, maybe he could ask others for advice.

It's just that Japanese people always have a slimy personality and are extremely reluctant to trouble others.But when there is nothing you can do, you can still be shameless and remain humble.

So, after some ideological struggle, he stood up resolutely and walked towards Li Tang.

Originally, Li Tang was listening to classmate Xiao Zhang talk about interesting things about filming "2046". For classmate Xiao Zhang, being able to be the leading female lead in a film directed by Wong Kar-Wai and cooperating with Cannes best actor Tony Leung is something worth showing off in itself.

While the conversation was getting heated, Li Tang looked up and saw Zhong Cunheng walking towards him.Out of etiquette, he quickly stood up. Before he could say anything, he saw this little book bowing heavily to him and saying sincerely: "Li Sang, I want your help, please!"

Li Tang could naturally understand without the need for an interpreter, but he didn't know what he wanted to help him. He bowed hurriedly and said a little confused: "Mr. Zhongcun, please tell me if you have anything to say."

　Second more!
