1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 298 I could easily be mistaken for a thief when I walk on the street!
"Plainclothes Police" tells a story from earlier years.

Xia Tian, ​​the protagonist, is an uncle in a hat. He was wrongly imprisoned because of the capture of an "enemy spy" and various reasons of that era. In prison, he "got along" with the other prisoners, and only his girlfriend kept trusting him... In the end, he was cleared of all charges.

Although this plot may seem a bit old-fashioned in later generations.

But watching it at this time is just perfect!
It fits the thoughts of the people during this period very well!

In order to maintain my condition and focus on the performance in the summer, I don’t read books or newspapers these days, and try not to let external information affect my sense of immersion.

Even before the official filming began, I went to the nearby police station for three days and asked someone to arrange for me to stay there for two days and one night.
How can I put it...it was so cool!

We fought seven or eight games in two days and one night. All of us in the same cell, as well as the twenty or thirty people in the two adjacent cells, all got beaten!
After so many years, the victims have finally been expanded to include them~
When he left, his fellow inmates were so moved that they cried and cheered, but they all fell silent after he gave them a sidelong glance.

It can be seen that the beating was not light!

……

Because the preliminary work proposed by Xia Tian was done in detail, such as costumes, props, photography, and shooting plans...

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife will not waste time chopping firewood.

Once it is officially turned on, the speed is amazing!
Director Lin: They say Xia Tian is good at planning, and it’s true! I feel like I’ve learned a lot from it!

Although I have heard Director Wang Fulin and Director Yang Jie say before that filming in the summer is more enjoyable, the acting is better and more precise, and it is often done in one take, and filming is particularly smooth and fast!

But at that time she thought it was the elders praising and supporting the younger generation!

I didn't expect it, it's not an exaggeration at all!

Isn’t this too dramatic?!

Xia Tian originally had the habit of immersing herself in a play to relieve the mental depression and excessive thoughts in the "real world".

This situation has been very mild in the past two years, so I haven’t been too focused on acting roles.

But this ability has not decreased at all.

Not to mention, I had put a lot of effort into this book! When it comes to being familiar with it and getting into the story, I have a huge advantage!
Every time she puts on makeup, Xia Tian's demeanor and temperament become a completely different person, like a steady, reserved, meticulous policeman with a bit of suppressed anger and a hatred of evil!
Because the shooting went so smoothly and I always got it right in one take, I got nervous in the summer!
Xia Tian: Director Lin, could it be that he didn’t have enough money and was reluctant to shoot more?!
Xia Tian: "Director Lin, let's keep one, shall we? I'm scared if you do this!"

But when I saw the video, I found that the effect was really good!

Even Mr. Lan Tianye praised Xia Tian for his acting more than once. He also said that he could participate in the People's Art Theater...

Xia Tian had no interest in joining the People's Art Theatre, but was very interested in Grandpa Lan's story.

After trying to please her several times, her favorability level was quite high, so I started to tentatively guide her in that direction.

The old man usually doesn't like to talk about the past, but Xia Tian is really likable and he leads the topic very naturally.

Even though he knew that Xia Tian wanted to get a story out of him, he naturally told it since they were in the mood to talk.

This is first-hand information from the person involved!

Every time Xia Tian finished listening to a story, he would write it down in a notebook.

He said to Lan Tianye: "Grandpa, I want to write a story about a worker lurking inside the enemy, and I want to use some of your deeds as a prototype..."

The old man smiled broadly, his face wrinkled, and said, "Then you must write well, don't let down those comrades who sacrificed their lives on the secret front!"

"do not worry!"

Afterwards, the old man began to talk about some secret things, and often became immersed in memories while talking and couldn't extricate himself.

This is also the reason why he doesn't like to talk about the past anymore, it's all blood and tears!
……

"Hey, comrade, who are you?" Xia Tian arrived at the crew and saw a somewhat familiar face coming out before he even went in, so he couldn't help but call him.

"Me? Are you calling me?" The man looked up, "Hey! Are you, are you Xia Tian?!"

"I'm Summer."

"Hey! Hello, hello! Oh, I didn't expect to see you here! I'm so lucky!"

He grabbed Xia Tian's hand and shook it.

Xia Tian was a little amused and asked, "Comrade, what are you doing here?"

The man felt a little embarrassed, so he let go of her hand and lowered his head, looking dejected.

"I heard that a TV series is being filmed here, so I came to ask if they need any actors..."

You can tell from the looks of it that it was rejected.

This guy is skinny, has small eyes, and a somewhat dull look... He doesn't have a very good image.

Xia Tian asked, "Failed?"

"Yes." "Comrade, if you don't mind a minor supporting role, I think there is a role suitable for you."

"Really?! I don't mind! I'm fine with anything!"

"Can I play a thief?" Xia Tian asked.

"Thief? Sure! Look at me, I could easily be mistaken for a thief if I walked down the street! I'm so good!"

Xia Tian was also amused by him and said, "Well, come with me to meet the director. By the way, comrade, what's your name?"

"Ge You! My name is Ge You! I'm from the All-China Federation of Trade Unions Art Troupe!"

Xia Tian stopped and looked at Ge You. "Ah, I was wondering why you looked familiar. In 85, you starred in the movie "Sheng Xia and Her Fiancé" produced by Yanying Studio, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I play the supporting role Wei Xuejin in it!"

Ge You didn't expect that Xia Tian had actually seen the movie he starred in and remembered him!
He also wants a minor supporting role for himself? !

This, this is a bit too dreamy!

Ge You originally went to a commune near the outskirts of Beijing. After returning to the city, he immediately took the art exam, hoping to become an actor.

His father, Ge Chunzhuang, is one of the “five major villains” and a veteran artist!
But his artistic career was not smooth.

He took the Yanying test first - he was rejected on the first interview, for no reason, and you could tell the reason by looking at his face.

He took the Youth Art Examination again - the question was about missing the beloved Prime Minister. He burst into tears and the director said he cried out of control, so he was eliminated.

He took another test at the Experimental Theatre - the examiner asked him to cover the girl's eyes from behind, he covered them for a long time without knowing what to say, and in the end the girl could only act out the meeting of lovers as catching a gangster.

Finally, he took the exam for the All-China Federation of Trade Unions Art Troupe. He performed a skit, "Raising Pigs," without any props, and finally passed.

The director said that he was quite lively!
Yeah, that was his life.

He was in charge of raising pigs in the countryside. He was very observant and had a keen sense of life.

Although it is a non-property performance, it feels as if the pig is right in front of you!
According to the original experience, he played minor roles in the art troupe for ten years. Later, he became famous in 89 because of the movie "The Troublemakers"!
I didn't have much hair then, not like now~
Originally, the thief in the original time and space TV series was played by Pants as a guest star.

But since we have met Ge Yu, let him sacrifice himself. I will compensate him somewhere else!

Just two days ago, there was a scene in the play where the male lead and his girlfriend were on a boat. I suddenly got inspired by pants and wanted to try them out~
He also realized that Mrs. Lin was easy to talk to. If it were Director Yang, he would definitely not dare to offend him.

He first talked to Xia Tian and asked Xia Tian to speak for him.

After Xia Tian agreed, he couldn't wait to find director Lin Ruwei and asked him to let him give it a try.

He said, "Old lady, can I also do a scene about this boat tomorrow?"

When Director Lin heard this, he thought: You are an artist, isn't this beyond the department's jurisdiction?

But Pants didn't give up and continued to pester Lin Ruwei.

Xia Tian also "appeared at the right time", talking about Pants' ambition and ability, and also talked about some deeds of supporting the younger generation~
Director Lin knew that the two guys were playing a double act, so he asked, "So what do you want to shoot?"

When Pants heard there was a role, he was so excited that he almost jumped up, and immediately replied: "I will shoot Tan Xiaoyan (Milan), her loneliness, and her thinking about Zhou Zhiming (Xia Tian) on the boat."

Director Lin heard this and agreed because he didn't want to discourage the young people's enthusiasm.

Director Lin: "Xia Tian, ​​please watch out. If the filming is not good, I will hold you accountable!"

Xia Tian: Come on, recall the past. I’ve pledged my reputation for you. Don’t embarrass yourself!
……

The filming of the TV series went so smoothly!

Xia Tian’s performance impressed everyone, and he praised his pants every day, and people kept talking about Brother Tianer!
Not only did the acting go smoothly, the filming also went smoothly, with almost no accidents!
Not only did we follow the plan step by step and complete the shooting schedule which was already a bit fast, but we even found out later that it was faster than planned!
Thanks to Xia Tian's forethought, every aspect of the filming went smoothly. Moreover, under Xia Tian's leadership, the actors were all very dedicated in their performances and there was nothing wrong with them!
It would be fine if Xia Tian acted smoothly alone, but it's really ridiculous if all the actors acted like they were copying each other!

Milan, in particular, competes with the female lead who has a "secret crush on the protagonist" every day, and always asks Xia Tian to give her extra lessons and talk about acting when she goes home at night.

As for the other people in the crew, they are either veteran actors who have been acting for many years, or they are future veteran actors like Ge You!
We often shoot seven or eight scenes a day! How long is the script?

This is so cool!
By mid-July, just one month into filming, the TV series was about to be completed.

And looking at the many shots Director Lin left behind, let alone 12 episodes, it would have to be 18 episodes, right?!
Fortunately, Xia Tian, ​​the screenwriter, is here, otherwise it would be difficult to handle!

During the filming, Wang Ruohai, who was listed as the screenwriter, naturally had to come.

But after coming here a few times, I found that Milan always followed Xia Tian closely and was guarding against me like a thief!

He won't come...

Now this guy has retired from his position as a frontline police officer. Last year, he became the director and deputy general manager of the Sino-Hong Kong joint venture five-star Kunlun Hotel.

This year, the Kunlun Hotel was taken over by the Shanghai state-owned enterprise Jinjiang Group, and he also chose to leave the public unit and stay in the state-owned enterprise.
