344. Chapter 344 Scene 344 Confidant Wine Show
This method is very simple, that is, repeated attempts.
In the same scene, they constantly try different emotions, different tones, and different expressions, and then use their experience to refine their feelings, select the best effect from it, and use this seemingly "stupid" method to achieve the ultimate "perfect play".
When other actors were lucky to accidentally hit the "serious drama" realm with one in ten thousand chances, actors of Jiang Wen, Zhou Runfa, and Ge You could use thousands of attempts to climb to such a realm. This was achieved by being so superb that they could not add to their acting skills.
As a director, all Li Xiaole can do is watch the performances of the three greatest Chinese male actors of this era and silently do logistics to support it. Because of such actors, he loves movies so much and devotes himself to this field. A "serious show" is the highest honor medal of every actor, and the director is the hand that awards medals. The only thing he needs to do now is to stabilize his "hand" and polish this highest medal.
For a week, the camera kept shooting, with the same scene, the same actors, and the same plot, let alone the actors who were acting, even all the actors who were excited to watch were tired of watching it, from morning to night, from white to night, just filming a scene like this... torment, depression, distress, struggle, and then... burst.
Finally, at 1 a.m. on the seventh day of the shooting, after Jiang Wen and Ge You loudly said the words "The County Magistrate is tall and hard!", Zhou Runfa, Jiang Wen, and Ge You were stunned at the same time, looking at each other, with a satisfied smile on their faces. Li Xiaole, who was sitting behind the camera, was silent for a long time, then stood up and shouted tremblingly, "Stop! It's past!"
Listening to the sound of "It's over!", the fifteen staff operating the camera sat on the ground almost as if they had agreed, shaking their hands one by one. Xiao Zhang's hand, who was receiving the radio, dropped the microphone to the ground with a soft "click". More than a hundred staff members showed no excitement or cheering, but a kind of exhaustion... It was like the kind of exhaustion that was running with all their strength, surpassing their limits one after another and finally crossing the finish line.
"Hurry up Teacher Jiang, Brother Fa, Mr. Ge~" Huang Jianxing first reacted and shouted worriedly. A group of people were busy trying to go up and help these three people up, but the three of them all waved their hands together and said, "Don't move... Let me do it myself." Their legs were not only numb, but also stiff.
"Don't move them, don't move them, let them move by themselves. It's better to spread some soft things and let them lie on the ground for a while, so that the blood on their legs can slowly relax~ You can't worry~" Lao Xu, a Chinese medicine doctor in the medical team, shouted at the top of his throat. Everyone was busy looking for something. The newspaper was too thin, so they could only go to find a mattress.
"Stop looking for it. First, clear the props on site, then take the scrap films taken these days and put them on. All of them are useless." Li Xiaole stood up from the director's chair and said, and several assistants from the photography team were stunned. After a while, someone reacted and said blankly: "I don't want them all?"
"Go and get it." Li Xiaole smiled and patted their shoulders. Then several people hurriedly carried out eight large boxes, took out the film from it, rolled it apart, and spread it on the ground. After a while, the table in the center was filled with thick film, like a foam park in a children's park. When people stepped on it, they were like stepping on elastic foam mats.
This is much more comfortable than any bed sheet. Zhou Runfa, Ge You and Jiang Wen all fell down from the bench and sat on the thick carpet covered with film. Ge You lay on it with a smile and lying directly on it, enjoying it: "Oh oh ~ This is really comfortable, we are also extravagant today."
"This is much more comfortable than the bed in a fucking five-star hotel." Jiang Wen moved his butt with a smile and said proudly: "In the future, we will just need film to make a bed, it's luxurious! What do you think, brother?"
"Order one for me too." Zhou Runfa's eyes were filled with excitement, and he replied with a laugh.
Li Xiaole stepped on the elastic film and carefully brought a small table with a bottle of Lafite red wine on it. He cleared a seat to put the table firmly, looked at the three people with a smile and said:
"Teacher Jiang, Brother Fa, Mr. Ge, should we have a drink to celebrate the filming of this scene?"
"Of course, absolutely." Zhou Runfa sat over with a laugh, took the goblet glass and asked curiously: "How many scenes have we taken in total? Why are there so many waste films?"
"Not much, it's just 180,000 feet." Li Xiaole smiled while pouring wine for Zhou Runfa.
"Oh my god, is it so extravagant?" Ge You bulged his eyes and stood exaggeratedly, turning his head to look at Jiang Wen: "This foot is about ten yuan for film and printing. So we put this bed on the floor with a total of one million and eight hundred thousand yuan!"
"Eighteen thousand feet, how good it is, I think we are going to send it." Jiang Wen took the wine glass with a smile, asked Li Xiaole to fill him with wine, and swayed it in his hand with the wine glass, and frowned and said, "Why is it iced? This wine needs to be 18 degrees before it tastes good. It's been 82 years... What a pity~"
This wine was given by the advertiser. I originally wanted to add the advertisement to the middle of the scene. The advertising sponsorship figure was 8 digits. In the end, because Li Xiaole thought it would affect the fluency of the scene, he refused. For this reason, Lei Ting and Huang Jianxing were so angry that they didn't talk to him for three days.
"What's the difficulty of getting hot wine? Use boiling water to warm it up, ice will hurt your stomach." Ge You usually doesn't drink red wine, so he doesn't care so much.
"I'm afraid this won't work." Zhou Runfa pointed to the red wine in the wine glass, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Brother Ge You, you don't understand. This wine can only be used as a special wine warmer, which heats up from the bottom of the bottle at a temperature of 40 degrees. It cannot be high or low, otherwise it will destroy the taste of the wine."
"Where can I find a wine warmer in this wilderness? Let's just do it." Ge You stared at his eyes and felt helpless.
"Wait, I have a way." Li Xiaole suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he waved to the photographer Zhao Fei next to him: "Take that Ali Flex 535 over, and get me a screwdriver by the way."
Zhao Fei immediately asked someone to lift the bulky film machine from the room next to him. Under Zhou Runfa and the other three, Li Xiaole took a screwdriver to disassemble the film machine, revealing the reflective leaf plate, pressing the control button, and the camera began to start gently "clog".
Just watch Li Xiaole put the bottle of 1982-year-old Lafite on the reflective leaf plate, stared at the control panel and adjusted it a few times, and then smiled and said, "Okay~ I'll wait a few minutes."
Ge You and Zhou Runfa were both confused. Jiang Wen looked at it for a while but suddenly realized it. He patted his thigh and pointed at Li Xiaole and said, "Director Li is so clever. He can use the camera to control the leaf board with a 40-degree constant temperature wine. A genius who plays with the camera~! Awesome~!"
"Hahaha~ Director Li Gao~!" Zhou Runfa laughed and turned to Jiang Wen and raised his glass, "Teacher Jiang is awesome!"
The other three laughed in unison and raised their glasses, "Brother Fa is tall and awesome~~!"
The night was silent, and the faint fragrance of grapes in the wine glass was savoring, listening to the rustling of the camera, feeling the soft and comfortable film under the butt, and allowing the alcohol to slowly warm up his tired body, the four men felt a rare tranquility. Seven days were like a blink of an eye, as if they had a beautiful dream, but this dream was clearly recorded by the film, which made the four people feel extremely satisfied and at ease.
"After filming, this film has been completed." Zhou Runfa sighed gently, shaking his wine glass, his tone was satisfied and a little disappointed.
"It's still Teacher Jiang and Director Li who have a good control, which makes us feel so satisfying. After today, I'm afraid there will be no chance to have this again." Ge You nodded after looking at Tian Hao for a while and enjoyed something.
"Hey~ I don't like to listen to these words, it's all about my business. It's all Director Li's credit, but I didn't do anything." Jiang Wen waved his hands unhappily.
Looking at Ge You's cunning smile, Zhou Runfa held back his laughter. Jiang Wen then realized that Ge You was joking with him. He couldn't help but point his finger at Ge You in anger: "Master Tang, you are from me, how can you help outsiders tease me?"
"I dare not make fun of you, lest you ask me to change the lyrics again, and I have to ask for help from my benefactor again." Ge You looked at Li Xiaole seriously and said, "Benefactor, do you think so?" His earnest look made Zhou Runfa tease, and Li Xiaole couldn't help laughing.
"Smile, laugh." Jiang Wen shook his head, turned to look at Li Xiaole, and pointed his thumb in his chest with a domineering thumb: "Director Li, brother, I once thought that there is no better director than me in China. This time I have seen it. What is a good director? I, Lao Jiang, rarely impressed anyone. You are one of them. I will toast you this glass of wine."
"Teacher Jiang is kind." Li Xiaole raised his head and finished drinking a glass of wine. Ge You loved wine and tasted it. He frowned and hugged the bottle of red wine in his arms and said, "It's not OK to drink red wine like this. If you don't drink it like this, you'll be slandered with something ~ do you understand it slandered with something ~!"
"There is still 1 bottle in the refrigerator." Li Xiaole smiled and stretched out his glass.
"Tell me earlier~!" Ge You stared at the eyes, held the wine bottle and raised his head and poured it into his stomach. Then he put a handful of wine bottles on the table and asked with a glaring look: "Where is one more bottle?"
Seeing Li Xiaolekong holding up a wine glass to ask for wine, Zhou Runfa and Jiang Wen both laughed loudly, and tears burst out... Men's pursuit is sometimes very simple, confidant, good wine, good show, not asking for more points, and not much, the beauty of life is just like this...
This method is very simple, that is, repeated attempts.
In the same scene, they constantly try different emotions, different tones, and different expressions, and then use their experience to refine their feelings, select the best effect from it, and use this seemingly "stupid" method to achieve the ultimate "perfect play".
