1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 25 Help, the director is going crazy!

The next morning.

Zuo Xiaoqing, who had just joined the cast of "Sunny Days" for just one day, had her first scene in her life.

In the movie, Zhang Xiaomei, played by Zuo Xiaoqing, is a girl who studies dance and is a classmate of Yu Beibei, played by Tao Hong.

The first shot of this scene is Zuo Xiaoqing and Tao Hong walking down the steps together.

However, this originally very simple shot failed several times because Zuo Xiaoqing's "external character" was difficult to change and could not catch Jiang Wen's eye.

In fact, Zuo Xiaoqing's "outward-shaped" walk is not natural, because when she was a child, she studied dancing with an art teacher for 5 years. During the years of practice, Zuo Xiaoqing not only suffered many injuries, but also suffered many injuries.

Gradually, I developed the habit of walking with "outer toe".

Just such a simple shot of going down the stairs took two days to shoot because of Zuo Xiaoqing's "splayed feet". No matter how Jiang Wen corrected it, Zuo Xiaoqing walked with a straight-legged foot.

Fortunately, her co-star Tao Hong had a good temper and did not argue with Zuo Xiaoqing. She was also very patient and walked with Zuo Xiaoqing for two days without any complaints from the beginning to the end.

On the third day of filming, the look was still the same. Director Jiang Wen was really anxious and shouted to Zuo Xiaoqing: "Can you walk? Why do you always look like a little duck, with your feet splayed..."

The aggrieved Zuo Xiaoqing finished the scene in tears, but in the end, he still did not change his habit of having "outcast characters".

Jiang Wen almost went crazy and had no choice but to compromise. He said without tears, "Okay! I surrender, let's just shoot like this. Your character is a girl who learns to dance. Maybe people who learn to dance just walk."

Splayed feet!"

Although Zuo Xiaoqing's splayed feet once caused director Jiang Wen to collapse, he still believed that Zuo Xiaoqing's appearance, temperament, including figure, and all other conditions were particularly outstanding, and he was particularly suitable for being an actor.

After all of Zuo Xiaoqing's scenes were completed, Jiang Wen recommended Zuo Xiaoqing to apply for the Yenching Film Academy.

At this time, Zuo Xiaoqing had just retired from the rhythmic gymnastics team and was feeling confused about his future life.

Jiang Wen's advice helped Zuo Xiaoqing find his life direction again.

Because in the process of playing the role of Zhang Xiaomei, Zuo Xiaoqing tasted the joy of making movies and really fell in love with acting out of hand.

Zuo Xiaoqing also secretly made a decision in her heart that she must work hard to get admitted to Yanjing Film Academy.

Before leaving the crew of "Sunny Days", Zuo Xiaoqing not only said goodbye to Jiang Wen, Xia Yu, and Tao Hong, but also came to Jiang Xiaofeng to say goodbye.

Since Jiang Xiaofeng is two years older than her, Jiang Xiaofeng has taken great care of her these days, not only encouraging her, but also sharing a lot of acting experience with her.

In Zuo Xiaoqing's eyes, Jiang Xiaofeng was like a big brother who took good care of her little sister, so she affectionately called him "Brother Xiaofeng".

Jiang Xiaofeng was quite happy to suddenly have a pure and beautiful sister of the opposite sex, because he had no brothers or sisters.

After learning that Zuo Xiaoqing's role had been completed and he was about to leave the crew, Jiang Xiaofeng asked Zuo Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, what are your plans for the future?"

Zuo Xiaoqing asked: "Brother Xiaofeng, do you know Yanjing Film Academy?"

Jiang Xiaofeng nodded: "I know, what's wrong?"

Zuo Xiaoqing then asked: "Is it difficult to get into this school?"

Jiang Xiaofeng told the truth: "It depends on the individual, some people have difficulty, some people have not."

Zuo Xiaoqing asked curiously: "Do you think it will be difficult for me to take the exam?"

Jiang Xiaofeng looked Zuo Xiaoqing up and down, pondered for a moment, and said, "You have such a good image and you are an athlete. As long as your academic performance is not too bad, it shouldn't be difficult."

"What? Are you planning to apply for Yanjing Film Academy?"

Zuo Xiao chuckled and nodded: "Yes, the director recommended me to apply for the exam."

Jiang Xiaofeng also thought it was suitable and said, "It's very good. You can go if you want. Your conditions are very competitive."

Zuo Xiaoqing was also very happy to receive continuous encouragement from Jiang Wen and Jiang Xiaofeng. He felt much more confident. He smiled gratefully and said, "Brother Xiaofeng, thank you for your encouragement. I will definitely work hard."

Without waiting for Jiang Xiaofeng to answer, Zuo Xiaoqing looked at Jiang Xiaofeng in front of him, with a look of reluctance in his eyes, and said slightly sadly: "But, I am leaving the capital soon, will we see each other again in the future?"

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "Don't worry, we are so destined, we will definitely meet again."

Zuo Xiaoqing then asked: "Can I call you after I go back?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said helplessly: "I don't have a phone..."

Zuo Xiaoqing asked expectantly: "Then can I write to you?"

Jiang Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "This is okay."

"Then give me your home address."

Jiang Xiaofeng borrowed paper and pen from the staff, wrote his detailed address on a piece of paper, and then gave it to Zuo Xiaoqing.

Zuo Xiaoqing folded the paper and put it away carefully, then said to Jiang Xiaofeng: "Brother Xiaofeng, I really have to leave, goodbye!" After saying that, he waved to him.

"Well, goodbye, see you later." Jiang Xiaofeng waved and watched Zuo Xiaoqing leave.

In Jiang Xiaofeng's opinion, Zuo Xiaoqing at this time has not really opened up yet, and is still a little immature and baby fat. After all, he is a 16-year-old girl, and he cannot be expected to behave like a big girl.

After Zuo Xiaoqing left, Jiang Xiaofeng told his girlfriend Tao Hong about Zuo Xiaoqing's intention to apply for Yanjing Film School.

To some extent, Zuo Xiaoqing and Tao Hong also have many similarities.

For example, Zuo Xiaoqing, like Taohong, was an athlete and had won honors for his country.

For example, Zuo Xiaoqing and Tao Hong participated in the movie "Sunny Days".

…

In the movie, Zuo Xiaoqing and Tao Hong are still classmates.

The difference is that Zuo Xiaoqing only showed her face a few times and had only a few lines in a soy sauce role, while Tao Hong played the serious second female lead.

Like Zuo Xiaoqing, Taohong also faced new choices after retiring.

Jiang Xiaofeng believes that his girlfriend Tao Hong can completely imitate Zuo Xiaoqing and apply for the Yenching Film Academy or the Central Academy of Drama.

In fact, Taohong has not thought too much about the future for the time being. With her achievements and qualifications in the national team, she can not only be a coach, but also be recommended to a sports academy for further study.

However, participating in the movie "Sunny Days" this time is a new and interesting experience for Jiang Xiaofeng, and the same is true for Tao Hong.

And Jiang Wen, the director of the movie "Sunny Days", also subtly influenced or changed the young actors on the crew both inside and outside the movie.

For example, Jiang Wen is very particular about whether the thread on the brim of a military cap is turned from the inside or the outside. Because different turning methods lead to different curvatures of the brim, Jiang Xiaofeng and Tao Hong both understand this.

The most profound impression on Jiang Xiaofeng was the scene where he blew smoke rings after shooting a gun. He took many shots of that scene, which always left Jiang Wen dissatisfied.

The final shot that satisfied Jiang Wen was when Jiang Xiaofeng appeared on camera after blowing out a smoke ring, and the smoke ring slowly dissipated in the shot.

Who would be so stupid as to care about such a shot, but Jiang Wen is such a person who demands very meticulous attention in all aspects.

On the set, Jiang Wen was not as strict as the legend says. He would often take the initiative to talk to the actors and ask them questions. In fact, he already knew the answers and was just teasing you.
