Entertainment 1998

Chapter 215 Chapter 214, The Art of Coaxing People
Gao Yuanyuan ran away.

Jiang Feng, who received the reminder from the stage manager, knew that it was time for him to go on stage.

After placing the bicycle at the entrance of the store and setting it up, Jiang Feng took a pen, squatted against the wall, and began writing and drawing on a notebook, making it look like he was keeping accounts.

"Da da da…"

The sound of high heels hitting the ground came crisply from far away.

Not long after, a pair of red high-heeled shoes flashed past Jiang Feng's eyes, passed by him, and walked into the convenience store behind him.

"Dangdangdang..."

The short-haired beauty wearing red high heels and a red dress tapped the counter of the convenience store with her fingers, and then pointed at the soy sauce on the shelf.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Feng quickly turned to look at her.

But who knew that the short-haired beauty was looking down at him.

"OK, passed, very good!"

When the scene reached this point, director Wang Xiaoshuai was a little excited.

Zhou Xun hadn't been able to finish shooting the long shot all morning, but unexpectedly, as soon as she went on stage in the afternoon, she gave herself a surprise.

Especially the rhythm of her performance, it's just amazing.

When Zhou Xun walked into the alley from outside, she was a little timid and her steps were a little hurried; when she met pedestrians in the alley, she immediately straightened her body, and her feet in red high heels stomped on the ground intentionally or unintentionally, as if to attract other people's attention; and when Zhou Xun walked to the door of the convenience store, she deliberately paused for two seconds, as if to say to Jiang Feng who was squatting at the door, come and see me, am I beautiful?
Well, awesome!

Sitting in the director's chair, Wang Xiaoshuai became more and more excited the more he thought about it.

"Zhou Xun..."

"Ok?"

"It's a great shot. I like it very much, especially the rhythm of your performance in this part. It's amazing!"

Shaking his head and sighing, director Wang Xiaoshuai picked up the walkie-talkie and wanted to communicate with several heavyweight staff members in the crew to see how to shoot the next scene.

But before he could finish his words, the elf-like Zhou Xun ran over with a smile and said, "Director, do you also think that the part I just performed was very good?"

"good, very good!"

"Hehe... Jiang Feng taught me."

Zhou Xun smiled lightly and pointed his finger at Jiang Feng.

"Really?"

"Of course.

During lunch, Jiang Feng told me that the reason you didn’t let me pass in the morning was not because I didn’t act well, but because my performance lacked layers and rhythm.

Because they still had to film, after saying this, Zhou Xun smiled, took out a box of Marlboro from his pocket and threw it to Wang Xiaoshuai, then went to the filming site, jumping up and down as he walked, looking like he was in a very happy mood.

Wang Xiaoshuai took the cigarette but did not smoke it. Instead, he looked at Jiang Feng thoughtfully.

...

"Action!"

Two bricks were removed from the two-meter-high courtyard wall, forming a hole. Through the hole in the wall, one can clearly see the mansion inside the courtyard wall.

Holding a bowl full of noodles in his hand, Jiang Feng originally wanted to find a place to squat down by the wall to finish the noodles in the bowl, but at this moment, he saw his fellow villager Li Mengnan eating noodles with a bowl in his hand while standing on tiptoe to look into the cave.

Jiang Feng was curious, so he moved closer.

"Brother Qiu Sheng, what are you looking at?"

According to the storyboard script I saw this morning, director Wang Xiaoshuai should have called a stop at this point in the filming of this scene.

But for some reason, the old man didn't shout.

Hence, Jiang Feng had no choice but to continue acting.

Because this is the rule in the film and television industry. No matter whether it is a movie or a TV series, there is no precedent for the actors to stop unless the director calls for stop.

Of course, unless you are a big star, or you are the investor in this film or TV series.

"Brother Qiu Sheng, so you were looking at a woman?" Jiang Feng leaned over and glanced at the mansion opposite through the hole in the wall. He immediately saw a woman in a red dress and red high heels, sitting by the window with a melancholy look on her face.

Li Mengnan is basically a veteran actor.

Seeing that Jiang Feng not only continued but also made up his own lines, Li Mengnan had no choice but to continue acting.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I was just settling accounts just now and my eyes were tired and a little blurry, so I looked across to relieve the eye fatigue.

But, Jiang Feng, after what you said, it seems that the girl sitting in the big house opposite is really pretty."

At this point, Li Mengnan paused and lowered his voice and said, "Agui, this is what city people do. They are not satisfied with living in such a big house and never smile all day long. If it were me, I would drink sugar water, brown sugar water every day.

I eat this pork chop noodles three times a day, I eat one bowl and pour another bowl. "

After hearing Li Mengnan's lines, Jiang Feng secretly admired him. He was indeed the most experienced actor in the crew. He had just made up a line, and he not only followed it up, but was also able to connect it with the lines in the script.

However, at this time, Jiang Feng did not speak, but looked curiously at the opposite side. In an instant, his eyes were filled with longing.

"OK, passed."

Just when Li Mengnan and Jiang Feng wanted to continue acting, director Wang Xiaoshuai raised the walkie-talkie in his hand.

"Li Mengnan, take a rest."

"Jiang Feng, give us two more close-ups. One is your first reaction when you saw Zhou Xun in the mansion, and the other is a close-up of you eating noodles."

"Ok!"

After agreeing and adjusting his mood, Jiang Feng turned around and looked at the camera lens that was coming towards him.

.........

Regardless of whether it is a crew from the mainland or from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the customary rule is that there are relatively few shooting announcements arranged on the first day of filming.

This allows the actors to have room to adjust from resting to filming state.

Of course, there are fewer filming schedules, so the actors also have time to have a meal with their colleagues and bond with each other, thus laying the foundation for the normal filming of the crew.

The same was true for the crew of "17 Years Old Bicycle". Although it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon and the crew had not completed the shooting plan, the director Wang Xiaoshuai still loudly announced that today's shooting would end here.

"Clap clap clap..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause at the filming site.

When the applause died down, Wang Xiaoshuai, holding a handheld megaphone, continued:

"Everyone, pack up and gather at the Guiwei BBQ Restaurant at No. 6 Heizhima Hutong at 20 o'clock in the evening.

Although the crew doesn’t have much money, I have discussed with the producer and we are still going to hold the opening party today…”

Just now, Wang Xiaoshuai announced that the crew would finish work early, and everyone was just happy; now that they heard that there would be barbecue in the evening, everyone's applause and cheers immediately lifted the roof off.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Long live the director."

"Director, I love you."

"Director, look here, look here, I'm giving you a crazy heart."

Amid cheers and applause, Jiang Feng sat back at the place where he had put on makeup this morning, under a big tree at the entrance of No. 17 Yuer Hutong, waiting for the makeup artist from the crew to come and remove his makeup.

But just as he sat down, the tall Xu Jinglei came over.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"While having lunch today, I squatted with Director Wang Xiaoshuai to smoke and chatted with him for a while. He said that a friend of his had taken a fancy to my novel "33 Days of Broken Love" and wanted to turn it into a script for a movie?"

"Who is it?" Jiang Feng asked.

"My surname is Teng, and my name is Hua Tao."

"Not for sale!" Jiang Feng refused bluntly.

"Why?" Xu Jinglei asked.

"It seems that the guy named Teng paid a pretty high price."

I hate this person.

When Jiang Feng was about to blurt out this reason, he held it back.

"Why? Tell me quickly. You know, Director Teng promised to let me be the screenwriter myself." Seeing Jiang Feng's strange expression, Xu Jinglei continued to ask.

"Because whether it's Love Is Not Blind or Du Lala's Promotion, I wrote them for you. Even if you want to make them into TV series, I hope you can be the director yourself."
