Chapter 10 The Crew
Chapter 10 The Crew
After tidying up my mood, I went to report to the crew alone when I was happy.
Originally, Liu Dong was going to accompany him, but the company temporarily added an artist to him, so he had no choice but to travel alone.He was not very familiar with the geography of Beijing, and he was dizzy. Finally, he found the location, which was a temporarily rented basement.
When he arrived, most of the crew was present, the assistant director dispatched troops in the middle of the room, and a group of old men wearing sun visors guarded their department's props and moved them around.In addition, there are a bunch of misfits, gathered around the director Han Bing, discussing the script, as if a circle was drawn around them, and they called themselves a faction.
I am happy to only know the director Han Bing, and I met once during the audition, and he defected as if he had found an organization.When we got closer, an elegant middle-aged man was talking, and there were many echoes beside him, and even Han Bing nodded expressionlessly.
Happy to know that person, the teacher in the company has already popularized the basic knowledge of Le him, and after learning that Happy took the role, Liu Dong found a list of all the actors and helped Happy to familiarize himself with their characters Personality, so as not to offend the seniors.
The name of this elegant man is Cui Tao, and his status in the entertainment industry is very important. He was also a film star, and he was also a unique figure at that time.But since Qin Yu came out, his position was gradually replaced by him, and he faded out of people's sight.But this is only in the eyes of outsiders. In the eyes of insiders, he is still the big brother Cui who can give guidance in any situation.
This time Han Bing filmed the movie "The Last War", and specially invited Cui Tao to play a guest role. By the way, he was invited to talk about the play and guide the performance.So what I saw when I was happy to come was all the actors gathered around Cui Tao and Han Bing to discuss the script.
"Director Han, I'm here to report." While Cui Tao was talking, he happily greeted Han Bing.
Han Bing raised his head and looked at him, and pulled him to his side happily: "Hey, I would like to introduce to you, this is a junior I am very optimistic about. I am very happy. Come and get to know everyone, this time This is Ge Yun, this is Liu Mengning, this is Zhao Fei..."
After introducing him around, everyone greeted him politely, and their happy and uneasy hearts gradually calmed down.It's not as xenophobic as Liu Dong said. Obviously everyone is very good, and no one shows me off like Brother Chu said. They are talking nonsense!
Actually happy is not clear, he was appreciated by Han Bing.Han Bing is actually a geek in this circle, and he is a geek who shoots movies with the main theme.In his hands, movies that reflect the main theme are always unique and unique, and the artistry and ideological quality of the movies are very high, and he has been supported by the government for this reason.Therefore, Han Bing is one of the people who cannot be offended in the contemporary film industry. Seeing him so respected and happy, everyone dared not play big names anymore.
Speaking of being happy to be appreciated by Han Bing is actually a coincidence.
At that time Chu Sheng hadn’t come back yet, Gao Xing had been practicing at home with the script for two days, and Liu Dong was obviously a little confused when he dragged him to the audition.But as soon as I arrived at the audition site, seeing the familiar military uniforms and prop guns, I was so happy that I immediately became energetic.After changing his military uniform, he ran around the arena as if he had taken a stimulant, fiddling with this and fiddling with that, pretending to shoot with a gun for a while, and crawling forward on the ground for a while, having a great time playing.
When Han Bing came, what he saw was this child jumping up and down like a mud ball, with that look and movements in the war years.He fell in love with this kid right away, thinking that he was the best candidate to play his own movie, and passed the audition immediately after barely watching it, and he was so happy that he had a very shallow impression of the director, because there was no How did you get in touch.
Happy and respectful salute to Cui Tao, he has heard many people mention this person more than once, even the always arrogant Chu Sheng warned that you must be respectful when you see Senior Cui Tao, otherwise you will not be able to get along here After saying this, Chu Sheng expressed his envy for being able to cooperate with Cui Tao for the first time in filming, but before the feeling of being envied took root in his heart, he proudly said that he would also Can go to that state, completely narcissistic.
Cui Tao didn't notice that the happy thoughts were already in his memory. He was also very interested in this polite junior. It had been a long time since Han Bing praised anyone. Look at it differently?
"Well, there is no need to be so polite. We are all members of the same crew, so don't be so polite." Cui Tao smiled and looked at the boy peacefully.
He was so happy that he blushed when he saw this faint smile. He didn't know why he suddenly felt that this old man who was almost 40 years old was so beautiful. This all-inclusive smile seemed to make his mind go blank, and he could only stare blankly. Looking at Cui Tao, he couldn't speak anymore.
Patting Happy's shoulder with one hand, Han Bing pulled him out of the shock, "Look, look, another person who is fascinated by you, I said Brother Cui, can you not be so charming! Get it It made us children blush."
"Hehe, what are you talking about, I'm already at the age of Uncle Weird, how can there be so many people like it." Cui Tao said as if mocking himself, but his eyes were fixed on happiness, and he was full of interest.
His happy face turned even redder, and he felt very embarrassed.The other actors in the crew also laughed when they heard this, and the little discord that occurred when they were happy to arrive was resolved under the influence of Han Bing and Cui Tao.
Seeing that everyone was here, Han Bing stood up, clapped his hands to focus everyone's attention, "Today is the first day of our crew's establishment, and there will be a start-up in the evening, and it will be in the restaurant upstairs. Everyone has booked a hotel for tonight, and we will only stay for one day. We will catch a plane to Shaanxi for filming tomorrow morning, so we have to finish our personal affairs today. Don’t drink too much at night. Alright, everyone, let’s go to the hotel to clean up. Put it here for unified storage."
It was the first time for Xing Xing standing next to Han Bing to look at the crew seriously. He saw pairs of eyes looking towards him. Although he knew he was not looking at him, he couldn't help being a little nervous.He had no choice but to put his eyes on people's heads and try to let go.This vacancy was incredible, and he discovered a detail that he had never noticed before. It turned out that all the staff members in the crew were wearing a sun visor, and all the actors were wearing sunglasses.Yep, that's a great sign.Happy to secretly remember.
As Han Bing's voice fell, everyone scattered away, happy to follow behind him closely, and from time to time look at Cui Tao next to him, he really didn't do this intentionally, but sometimes people's bodies are not affected by it. Brain control.Gao Xing feels that he is in such a situation now, this person is very good-looking, so he always wants to take aim at him.Seeing that even Han Bing, who was walking in front of them, found out at the end, he turned his head and looked at the two people with a half-smile, "Brother Cui, I didn't expect your market to be so good. Seeing that children make you Fascinated!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Cui Tao frowned seeing Gao Xing's expression that he wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.
That night, Gao Xing sent a message to Chu Sheng by using the text message function of his mobile phone, in which he described Senior Cui Tao in an admiring tone. reply.Opening it happily, there were only two words inside: "Idiot."
Xing Xing is already very familiar with filming. He has been an extra actor in the set for a period of time, and even happened to play a named role. He thinks these are still very easy.So when I really followed Han Bing by plane and car to the remote area of Shaanxi, and set up the machine to start filming, I was happy to understand that this movie is really different from the past.
First of all, he has never been in contact with war films of this era, and he has no idea how to shoot modern war films.Secondly, director Han Bing's shooting methods are very different. He often tells everyone his intentions after the whole crew goes around, which is very puzzling.
I'm glad that this little rookie hasn't played in three days. He moved a small bench and sat next to Han Bing to watch the surveillance screen together.The whole production team likes this kid very much, and even taught him a few tricks, so I am glad that I have really benefited a lot these few days.
Today is Gao Xing's first real filming, and the opponent is the former actor Cui Tao.He has been very excited since the morning.I got up at five o'clock and ran around the hotel where I was staying. When I returned to the room, the little actor in the same room had already woken up.He hurriedly changed his clothes and then ran down to eat breakfast.
The crew’s meals are generally very simple, sometimes steamed stuffed buns in the morning and steamed stuffed buns at noon or steamed stuffed buns in the evening.Gao Xing gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun while thinking about today's lines, feeling a bit distracted.Cui Tao saw Gao Xing's strange expression by looking up, and he couldn't help but smile a little, but he saw that except for Han Bing and other old people, all the young actors, including Gao Xing, stood tightly Staring at himself, his smile froze.He lowered his head and ate the steamed stuffed bun as if nothing had happened.
When he arrived at the shooting scene, Han Bing sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, and the two assistant directors and director assistants arranged the placement of the machines underneath. He was happy to sit in the car and change his clothes while being tossed by the makeup artist.
In fact, for Gao Xing, he felt a strange sense of disobedience when he put on this dress.It was the first time he had this feeling, like a dream, which made him unable to tell what the current time and space were, as if he was still the actor who had just been admitted to Bayi Factory, and had just participated in the filming of this devil-fighting movie.
But this feeling didn't last long.Because when he really got out of the car and set foot on the land of the 21st century, the melancholy just disappeared immediately.He watched Han Bing explaining something to the photographer, watching the assistant director yelling at the side, and watching Cui Tao, who had already put on makeup not far away, talking to the lead actor Ge Yun.Everything is in order, and it looks particularly stylish because it is well funded, even the rocker arm has two spares in the back.
Happily smiled, this is totally out of my era, and I don't belong there at all.But, I'm still doing the same thing!
Everyone took their places, looked happily at Cui Tao who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but glanced again, thinking of the smile in the morning, he was a little bit embarrassed.Cui Tao didn't seem to notice that anyone was peeping, but just lowered his head as if thinking about something, looking isolated from the world.
"action." Han Bing spoke.
"Comrade, please show your ID." Little Revolutionary happily stopped veteran Cui Tao.
After taking a long time out of his pocket, he escaped with a small red book and handed it to Little Revolution. The veteran looked up at the sun.
"Come with me." Little Revolution said to the old soldier very rudely, straightened the gun on his back, and led him to the back of the mountain.
The veteran followed him quietly, with a limp footstep, but no expression on his face.
The camera followed them closely. It was a long shot. The mountain road was very long. Halfway through, Little Revolution looked back at the veteran who was left behind by him, and stopped and said, "Oh, you have a problem with your feet. Ah, let's go slowly then."
"cut." Han Bing felt that the shooting of this scene was in place, and he couldn't help but look at it happily, thinking that he had seen the child right, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth to arrange for the next scene.
Immediately afterwards, there were a few scenes of exchanges between the two of them. I met Cui Tao with a southern accent with a little Northeast accent. The originally discordant effect became harmonious because of Cui Tao's natural tolerance.The result of acting with the actor is that he was completely brought into that situation. I am happy to go back to the war years. What I am facing is a veteran who has fought on the battlefield for 6 years. I learned how to kill the enemy while surviving, and taught myself what is true dignity and what is called a flag.
The process of acting with Cui Tao is very hearty, which is the common expression of all the actors who have worked with him.This person can always make you fall into the role and drive others to act.That is to say, performing with him will be smoother than when performing alone, and it can even be said to be supernormal.So I am glad that I am not at all the nervous NG problem that actors who have just acted may have. It can be said that he is very lucky.
In fact, objectively speaking, Gao Xing seems to be born to be a fighter.In subsequent shoots, he often recalls his own era, the era that had just settled down.All they saw were war movies, and fighting devils was the dream of all juniors.Gao Xing once copied dozens of films, including Chinese ones and Soviet ones, in order to be admitted to a film studio.Until now, when filming, his complete ease has surprised everyone.
Han Bing became more and more excited, he felt that he had really found a treasure.Xing Xing, who has just started acting in movies, actually knows how to walk, speak, draw a gun, and even follow a specific posture when avoiding landmines.A smile bloomed on his face, and when he finished work today, he patted his happy head and said, "Happy, you have to grow up quickly." Met a strange uncle.Little did he know that what Han Bing was thinking in his heart was that only when he grows up can he ask you to be the leading actor in my movie.
That night, Gao Xing continued to send a text message to Chu Sheng, talking about his feelings about acting, and expressing his admiration for Senior Cui Tao.This time Chu Sheng replied to the message very quickly, but he didn't comment on the matter, he just said that he would be happy to celebrate his birthday when he comes back.
These days, they are already very familiar with each other, and they have been in contact for a day. Gao Xing always feels that Chu Sheng's concern makes him very happy, and Chu Sheng also feels that it is a bit intentional not to help this little brother who has just entered the industry. .Two people who come and go already know each other very well, and it has become a must-do event to communicate with each other every day.
Hearing the news from Chu Sheng, I was happy to feel a special warmth in my heart, and fell asleep with a satisfied smile.
