Chapter 54 The Young Hugo

"Stop, stop!"

Before Cheng Er called to stop, Li Tang couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted at Hu Ge: "Hu Ge, how many times have I told you, don't pout at every turn, don't you understand? Does pouting look good? , it’s cute for a child to pout, but you look one size bigger and one size bigger, and you keep pouting all the time, that’s stupid, you know it!”

Hu Ge was so scolded that his face was flushed, and he stood there with his head down, not daring to make a sound.

No wonder Li Tang got angry, this kid has a problem, maybe it is a habit, he always likes to pout his lips, once or twice is fine, but when he is performing, he can often see various shapes of his pouting lips—no Pout your lips when you are happy, pout your lips when you are happy, pout your lips when you are tangled in thinking, and even pout your lips to express your excitement when watching a small movie.

Li Tang has reminded him countless times, but he can't change it.

This scene is about Hu Tian helping the newspaper vendors to fight against injustices. The little hooligan holds a grudge and seeks revenge from Hu Tian's younger brother Hu Di.

The two little hooligans cast two first-year students in the show as cameos, and their performances are very good, but Hu Ge's performance is really hard to describe.Maybe it's because he never had such an experience when he was growing up. Li Tang couldn't bear to watch his exaggerated performances and pouting at every turn.

No wonder directors have bad tempers. If you meet this kind of actors, you have to teach them over and over again, and you can’t teach them well. Anyone will get angry.

"You can tell at a glance that you haven't been beaten by a little hooligan when you were studying, but you can't take it for granted. Painting a tiger is not a kind of anti-dog. Do you know how to cut it? Keep your head up and look good!"

Li Tang didn't care whether Hu Ge was wronged or not, he walked over to show him a demonstration.

If you don't act well, let's learn from the head office.

Hu Ge's attitude was quite upright. Although he felt aggrieved with his mouth pursed, he still raised his head to watch Li Tang's demonstration performance.

This scene is actually not difficult to perform. Being bullied, as long as it is a boy, who hasn't been bullied when they were young?
Even if you haven't been bullied, you will always see it.In the 90s, there were often social miscellaneous people wandering around the school gates, extorting points (extortion), fighting, and molesting female students were all commonplace.

Hu Ge, his father is a tennis coach, his mother is a middle school teacher, and his family conditions are relatively good. He was selected into the famous "Little Yingxing Art Troupe" in Shanghai when he was very young.Because of this, he has been regarded as a group favorite in his school since he was a child. The teacher prefers him, and the female classmates like him, which is a bit like a flower in a greenhouse.

In contrast, Huang Yi, who grew up with his grandparents and lived a difficult life, is completely different from him.

It is precisely because of this that he lacks Huang Yi's life experience at the bottom of society, and lacks the courage and perseverance to fight against fate, so that he lacks a sense of faith in a role like Hu Di.

"Did you see clearly?"

Li Tang walked over to look at Hu Ge, only to see that the young man's eyes were slightly red, his mouth was tight, and his face was still showing a trace of disbelief. After two full seconds of staring at Li Tang, he nodded stubbornly.

"It's good to see clearly, what you want is your current state, keep your emotions!"

Li Tang patted him on the shoulder, and then said to Cheng Er: "Director, what do you think?"

To be honest, the moment Li Tang called to stop, Cheng Er's expression was somewhat ugly.For a new director like him, who is in charge of directing for the first time, what he is most afraid of is that others will do it for him and not take the director seriously.But seeing Li Tang personally demonstrate and arouse Hu Ge's emotions, his expression became a little complicated.

He knew very well in his heart that what Li Tang did was exactly what he lacked.I can't give demonstrations to actors, because of their personalities, and they are not good at arousing the emotions of actors like Li Tang, so they can only let the actors find their own feelings over and over again.It may work when you meet a good actor, but if you meet an actor who doesn't know how to act, it's useless.

At this moment, he could only nod his head and said, "Very good, let's do it all over again!"

……

Li Tang rode a motorcycle to Arong's photo studio in Laoximen early in the morning. This was an important scene for shooting——Hu Tiankai's photo studio.

The production crew had already been busy at the scene, and Cheng Er was standing at the door of the store, building a pergola, watching the rising sun.

Seeing Li Tang approaching, he took the initiative to say: "I think the sun is good today, it is best to use natural light."

"Don't ask me about technical matters. You can shoot as you say." Li Tang said with a smile.

In this regard, he is very self-aware, and he will never pretend to understand.

He had seen the storyboard sketches of this scene. Hu Tian said goodbye to Xiao Zhang before leaving, and specially made the light and shadow effects of the blinds.

The light passed through the blinds and hit Hu Tian's face, indicating that Hu Tian was in the dominant position in the relationship between the two, and he explained to Xiao Zhang what happened after he left.Xiao Zhang turned her back to the light, and her face was always in a state of backlight, indicating that she was passively accepting Hu Tian's arrangement.

The light and shadow effect of the thin horizontal blinds, together with the overall warm yellow tone, creates a warm and beautiful situation.Of course, if vertical blinds are added with cold light, the effect created will become voyeuristic, claustrophobic or suspenseful.

"Crench!"

A taxi stopped on the side of the road, and Huang, who was wearing a black coat and a green sweater, got out of the car.

When Li Tang turned his head, he couldn't help being surprised and said, "Huang Yi, did you steal the chicken last night?"

Huang Yi, who usually always has delicate makeup, looks haggard today, with swollen eyes and dark circles.

"That's right, it's just that you can't lose money by stealing chickens." Huang Yi replied with a smile.

Then he was a little embarrassed and said: "In today's scene, I think that since Xiao Zhang has seen the news and knew that Hu Tian had an accident, she must have not slept well the night before. I was afraid that the performance would not be good, so I stayed up all night."

"Didn't sleep all night?"

"Well, it's not too bad."

Huang Yi said it easily, but couldn't help but yawned.

Surprised, Li Tang gave her a thumbs up: "You are a stick (excellent)!"

Cheng Er on the side couldn't help but show a moved expression at this time.

I have to say that Huang Yi's method is very stupid, but you have to admit that this stupid method is really effective.Huang Yi's current state doesn't even need makeup. What's more important is that the fatigue on her face is real, not a show.

Huang Yi stayed up all night, apparently exhausted, and said to Cheng Er: "Director, when will we shoot?"

"Wait a little longer." Cheng Er said.

Li Tang looked at the rising sun, waved to Huang Yi and said, "The director still has to wait for the right sunlight, let's rehearse first."

Huang Yi's hard work was not in vain, the scene that was originally planned to be filmed in one day was completed in one morning.

In the afternoon, Hu Ge, who was notified temporarily, rushed to Arong's photo studio. When he entered the door, he saw Huang Yi sitting on the sofa and dozing off. The noisy sound of the art design and props being arranged next to him didn't seem to affect her at all.

Li Tang pointed to Huang Yi and said to Hu Ge: "Look at him, he would rather stay up all night for a play and learn from him! You are also a semi-professional, don't be confused all day long, you are worse than amateurs." Not as good."

"..."

Hu Ge was dumbfounded, and then resentment welled up.

Today, I received a temporary call from the film crew to come to work overtime, so it's fine if I didn't get any praise, but why did I get a scolding again when I entered the door.

But he didn't dare to talk back, because Li Tang was right in one thing, he came from the "Little Yingxing Art Troupe", the person in charge of the Xuhui Student Drama Troupe, and the small host of the Educational TV Station. He is a professional, but his performance is not as good as Huang Yi, a young model who was born in a hotel lobby.

He habitually pouted his lips to express his dissatisfaction, but just moved his lips, and when he saw Li Tang's hateful face, he immediately pursed his lips.

In fact, after being scolded by Li Tang last time, although this face-saving guy can't be called shameless and courageous, he has worked very hard, and his performance is much better than the beginning, but Li Tang seems to be targeting him forever.

After admonishing Hu Ge, he said: "Be prepared!" Li Tang left refreshed with his hands behind his back.

Cursing and scolding people are also a way to vent emotions, especially seeing Hu Ge's handsome face distorted by grievances and dissatisfaction, it is even more pleasant: how can my handsome light be covered by this little guy!
