Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 105 You still want to steal a man from me!

A lot of dark clouds gradually accumulated in the dark night sky, and none of the stars disappeared.

In the room with the lights on, Tao Huimin looked at Chen Shiping who was immersed in writing and couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you mean to tell the drama alone? What is my role tomorrow?"

Chen Shiping did not answer Tao Huimin immediately. After writing the last sentence in his notebook, he raised his head and looked at her and said, "Are you nervous?"

"Of course I'm nervous. The camera will be turned on tomorrow, and I still don't know what I'm going to shoot?"

"Don't be nervous. I'll only shoot you walking tomorrow, no lines."

After Chen Shiping finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued writing storyboards. Tao Huimin couldn't help but pull him and said, "Tell me, what's your mood? How should you go, faster or slower?"

"This scene is not important. You can do whatever you want. It's not your first time filming." Chen Shiping replied perfunctorily, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

Seeing Chen Shiping's frown, Tao Huimin didn't dare to ask, but she felt even more uneasy.

Alas. Tao Huimin sighed silently, looked at Chen Shiping's back, turned around and went to bed.

I just tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Finally, I finally fell asleep and it was almost dawn.

When she woke up early the next morning, the pillows around her were untouched, and Chen Shiping didn't know where he was.

After washing up, I saw Chen Shiping cursing someone downstairs in the guest house.

"Why are you moving so slowly! If it rains later, I'll slap you!"

Seeing Chen Shiping like this, Tao Huimin became even more nervous. She could see that Chen Shiping attached great importance to the movie and was worried that she had messed up.

But I couldn't figure out why Chen Shiping didn't tell him a play. Was he convinced that he could perform well?

At this time, Zhu Lin also came out after breakfast. Seeing Tao Huimin's haggard appearance, he couldn't help but expressed concern: "Didn't you sleep well? There are dark circles under his eyes."

Tao Huimin hummed, feeling irritated and depressed.

Soon the crew set off for the Qiao family compound, but stopped halfway to set up the camera.

The tall poplar trees are lush and green, their branches swaying in the strong wind, and the messy weeds on the winding dirt roadside are already as high as someone's calf.

Dark clouds continued to accumulate in the sky, and it looked like it would rain at any time.

Chen Shiping stood in the middle of the road, holding the viewfinder and changing filters for a while. When the color purity at the edge of the viewfinder became higher and brighter, he turned to Zhao Fei and said, "Just shoot as you said."

Zhao Fei nodded with a smile and adjusted the parameters of the lens.

At this time, Tao Huimin also walked over, wearing a light blue student uniform on the upper body and a black skirt on the lower body, which was blown up by the wind.

Tao Huimin said nervously: "Is it okay to just walk away?"

Chen Shiping nodded, pointed to the fork in the road ahead and said, "You can just walk over there later. You can go however you want."

"I" Before Tao Huimin could say anything, Chen Shiping turned around to say hello and was about to turn on the phone.

Seeing Chen Shiping like this, Tao Huimin also felt angry. He just left as he pleased!

Tao Huimin, who was angry, turned around and walked toward the fork in the road while carrying his suitcase.

When Tao Huimin turned around, Chen Shiping looked back at her, with a smile on his lips. This was the right emotion.

However, if this method is not done well, it will affect the relationship. After the filming, you will have to explain and coax.

Tao Huimin's psychological baggage is too heavy and she is too obsessed with whether she can perform well. Instead, she becomes deliberate. This natural state is the best.

After Tao Huimin arrived at the predetermined location, Chen Shiping took a look at the viewfinder and shouted with a loudspeaker: "Everyone, get ready!"

The recorder immediately ran to the camera, shouted on the board quickly: "First shot of the first scene of Wives and Concubines, start!"

Tao Huimin, who heard the power-on reminder, first glanced at Chen Shiping, then bit his lip, carried the box, and walked towards the camera step by step.

In the camera, Tao Huimin has a hint of stubbornness in his eyes and moves quickly. His skirt is blown up by the wind, and the green grass on the roadside is also blown up.

The black skirt on her body was like dark clouds in the sky, giving people a hazy and depressing feeling.

It's just that Tao Huimin became more and more nervous as he walked. The anger towards Chen Shiping just disappeared, leaving only uneasiness. He kept asking himself in his heart, am I going well and will I pass? Is this really okay?

The pace that became slow also lost its rhythm, and the stubbornness in his eyes turned into nervousness. He lowered his head slightly and looked at his blown up skirt.

The person watching this scene behind the camera was completely different from what Tao Huimin thought.

The oldest teacher Yu Ping couldn't help but said: "Xiao Tao's performance is really good, her body language is awesome."

"Why do you say that?" Jiang Shan asked curiously without understanding what was wrong.

"You can see that she walked very quickly at first and her eyes were very stubborn, but the closer she got, the more nervous she became."

Yu Ping said seriously: "Songlian is a stubborn and arrogant character, but she is just a student. This kind of courage will gradually disappear with distance. Until now, she is holding on. Xiaotao's grasp of the character is very accurate!"

After hearing Yu Ping's words, Jiang Shan looked at Tao Huimin who was getting closer and closer. She could clearly see the tension and anxiety in her eyes, and then she understood.

He Saifei watched from the side and said nothing. He was also surprised at Tao Huimin's acting skills. He had no lines and just his walking steps and eyes made the person come alive.

I didn’t have this kind of acting when I was filming The Red Chamber before! Progress so quickly? !

He Saifei couldn't help turning his head to look at Chen Shiping, who was holding the viewfinder in one hand. He felt that it was Chen Shiping who gave Tao Huimin a small start, which caused his acting skills to soar!

She originally thought that her performance would be better than Tao Huimin's, but now she no longer has this confidence. At least she couldn't make the emotional change in the few steps Tao Huimin came over.

It seems that we still need to start a small stove. He Saifei stared at Chen Shiping's back, thinking that he must take the initiative when he turns around!

He Saifei is not the only one who has this idea, Zhu Lin also thinks the same. She has watched Tao Huimin's "Red Mansion" and "Little Baicai", and her previous acting skills are completely different from her current ones.

This scene is so natural and the emotional changes are so smooth.

It's great to have a boyfriend who is a great director, and Zhu Lin feels a little envious.

Tao Huimin in front of the camera no longer knew what he was doing, and his mind was full of messy thoughts. He didn't come back to his senses until he looked over the camera and saw Chen Shiping standing in front of him.

"Crack!"

Chen Shiping shouted with a trumpet, nodded at Tao Huimin, walked up to Zhao Fei and asked, "How did you feel just now?"

After hearing this, Tao Huimin immediately looked at Zhao Fei, wondering if he had done a good job.

Zhao Fei smiled and gave them a thumbs up and said, "Excellent!"

Hearing Zhao Fei's words, Tao Huimin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Shiping to hear his opinion.

But Chen Shiping just nodded indifferently and said, "That's fine, let's pack up and go to the compound."

Tao Huimin looked at Chen Shiping doubtfully, is it gone now? No comments at all? Is it good or bad?

Tao Huimin, who was anxious, grabbed Chen Shiping and asked, "How was my performance?"

"Isn't it passed? I told you to just go wherever you want." Chen Shiping said with a smile.

Tao Huimin: "."

She suspected that Chen Shiping deliberately relaxed his requirements for her. Is this how a girlfriend should be treated? But she doesn’t want this treatment!

On the bus to the compound, Tao Huimin sat there expressionless, still wondering whether his performance was good or not. Zhu Lin, who was sitting next to her, smiled and said, "You performed very well just now, and you also said that your family didn't give you a small stove."

"Ah?" Tao Huimin looked at Zhu Lin doubtfully and asked subconsciously: "Did you perform well?"

"Okay, Song Lian's childish stubbornness and anxiety are all shown."

Hearing Zhu Lin's words, Tao Huimin fell into self-doubt. Did I just act so well? Isn't it just a casual walk?

At this time, Jiang Shan and He Saifei also praised her for her good performance, and Tao Huimin was completely confused.

who I am? where am I? What did I just do?

After a while, Tao Huimin couldn't help but said: "You didn't mean to praise me, did you?"

"Of course not, you did a really good job." Teacher Yu Ping confirmed with a smile.

Tao Huimin's big eyes were full of doubts, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, am I really good at acting?

Chen Shiping, who was sitting in front, couldn't help but chuckle when he heard their conversation. Xiao Baicai was feeling dizzy now.

Damn it, if I explain it to her later, I probably won’t be able to sleep in three days.

It’s so hard to be a director

Soon the car arrived at the Qiao family compound. Because the crew wanted to shoot here, the compound was no longer open to the public.

Not many people came to visit originally, so there would be no loss if it was closed, not to mention that Chen Shiping still paid rent.

At the entrance of Qiao's courtyard, Chen Shiping looked at Tao Huimin who was still confused and said, "I did well just now. I'll walk later and cross the arches. When walking, slow down and take a closer look at the brick carvings here."

Hearing Chen Shiping's words, Tao Huimin asked in surprise: "Really?"

"Of course, why did I lie to you?" Chen Shiping said with a smile and went to do other things.

Tao Huimin also breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart gradually became firmer. I just acted well! People always praise me!

When it was time to shoot again, her steps became brisk again, walking around casually!

I also remember what Chen Shiping just said, look at the brick carvings!

Tao Huimin looked at those beautiful brick carvings and felt that Qiao's courtyard was really luxurious. Rich people were indeed different.

"Xiao Tao is really good!" Yu Ping couldn't help but say: "Songlian chose to be a concubine for a rich man. The previous worries disappeared after seeing the wealth of the Chen family. That kind of curiosity and The ignorant expectations are especially right!”

Zhu Lin and the others also nodded, feeling that Tao Huimin's performance was particularly good.

When Chen Shiping heard the conversation between them, he couldn't hide the smile on his lips. What he said was so right!

Xiaobaicai is such a good actor!

The original version of Song Lian was filmed as someone who was forced to be a concubine, and Gong Li played her with a sense of stubbornness and arrogance.

But that's not what Chen Shiping wanted. He chose his own path. If Songlian was as untainted as her name, how could she end up like that?

Zhang Yimo magnified the rules and the persecution of the feudal system, but ignored the human nature behind these things. It is inaccurate to attribute everything to the feudal system.

Or maybe Chen Shiping thinks this is inaccurate.

Everyone has seven emotions and six desires. The temptation of the outside world and one's own greed will destroy a person from the inside out.

Those martyrs in the past faced more attractive conditions, but why were they not destroyed.

While Chen Shiping was stunned, Tao Huimin had already walked in front of the camera. He came to his senses and shouted "Ka".

Tao Huimin immediately ran over and looked at Chen Shiping expectantly and asked, "How was my performance just now?"

"Not bad, very relaxing." Chen Shiping said with a smile.

Tao Huimin smiled happily and said, "You can go as you please."

After chatting with Tao Huimin for a few words, Chen Shiping asked her to rest. He still had to cook for others!

"Jiang Shan! Come here!"

When Jiang Shan heard Chen Shiping calling her, she ran over immediately and looked at Chen Shiping eagerly, wondering how she would act later.

Chen Shiping looked up at the weather and said to Jiang Shan, "It seems like it's going to rain. Let's go inside and talk."

Jiang Shan followed Chen Shiping to the house, and then she noticed that the house was full of tattered red lanterns.

"Is this Yan'er's room?" Jiang Shan asked curiously.

Chen Shiping hummed and closed the door, making the room immediately private.

There were red lanterns everywhere in the small room. Jiang Shan looked at Chen Shiping so close and suddenly felt a little nervous. It had been a long time since she had been alone with Chen Shiping.

"Do you have a boyfriend now?"

While Jiang Shan was stunned, Chen Shiping suddenly asked a seemingly insignificant question.

"No." Jiang Shan's tone was a little low. She raised her head and looked at Chen Shiping and asked, "Isn't it a drama? Where are my lines?"

Chen Shiping took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to her and said, "It's just a couple of sentences, just take a look at it."

Jiang Shan had not read the script clearly when she heard Chen Shiping's voice again.

"Why don't you find a boyfriend?"

Jiang Shan was stunned, looked at Chen Shiping and said angrily: "I need you to lock me up!"

Chen Shiping ignored her anger and said to himself: "Your dad didn't let me get close to you at that time. You also knew that I was in a bad condition at the time, so..."

"Why are you talking about this now!" Jiang Shan quickly interrupted Chen Shiping, stared at him and said, "Then you ended up with Tao Huimin too!"

Chen Shiping looked at her and said hesitantly: "Actually, I forget it now. You can memorize the lyrics first. I'll go out and see if they are ready."

After saying that, Chen Shiping left, and Jiang Shan was the only one left in the room, clenching the piece of paper in her hand.

Chen Shiping, who came out of the room, saw Tao Huimin approaching before she even walked out of the courtyard. She stretched her head and looked in and asked, "Where's Jiang Shan? Why do you come so far to tell a play?"

"Take her to see Yan'er's house to find out what's going on." Chen Shiping said with a smile.

Tao Huimin looked at him suspiciously, and then asked: "I have finished memorizing my lyrics, how will I perform it later?"

"It's the first time I'm talking to Yan'er. I don't have a few words. I can act however I want."

Chen Shiping said casually and went to arrange the shooting.

Tao Huimin looked at Chen Shiping's back and felt something was wrong. When he turned around and saw Jiang Shan coming out of the room with an unconvinced look on his face, he felt even more wrong.

She knew that Chen Shiping had had an affair with Jiang Shan before, but now that she saw Jiang Shan's expression, she couldn't help but feel a fire rising in her heart.

What's going on? You still want to rob me!

You're just a little maid and you still want to be a wife? Zicuckoo can't do it, and you can't do it even more!

It doesn’t work in the movie, and it doesn’t work in reality either!

Chen Shiping, who ran away early on the other side, patted his chest and was frightened for a while, but the two of them were definitely in the right mood now!
