172. Return to the studio
ps: Thanks to the Mango classmate for their rewards, Tiaotiao and Chun1974 monthly tickets.
Kyoto is still sultry and unstoppable in September. The autumn wind blows, which brings not a hint of coolness, but a heat.
Although it was stuffy, Zhang Xueyou still came to the set as usual. Even though the set did not start work at this time, he still maintained this habit in order to find the feelings of the characters in the plot through the set arrangement.
However, today he is not obsessed with trying to figure out the role, because now he is sitting in a corner, holding a pink notebook in his hand, staring at the contents inside without blinking.
He read it very carefully, almost one word at a time, which also caused him to read it very slowly. Even though he was in a cool place, he was still sweating profusely after reading the script for three hours in this stuffy weather. From time to time, a few drops of sweat slid from his temples and fell to the ground. However, Zhang Xueyou suddenly realized that he did not realize it. He subconsciously wiped it with his hand and continued to focus on the notebook in his hand.
"How is it?" The person who spoke was a female voice with a hoarse voice. It was Zhou Xun who sent the script. Zhang Xueyou read the script for more than three hours. She also waited by the side for more than three hours, just to ask him for his final opinion.
Zhang Xueyou did not answer, but just closed the notebook gently and took a deep breath, but the excited look in his eyes did not escape Zhou Xun's eyes. As an actor, she knew very well what this kind of eyes meant.
It is obvious that this script has been deeply loved by Zhang Xueyou.
"Ye Zi said, if you are satisfied with the script, you will follow this to shoot it, and...
"What else?" Zhang Xueyou also recovered from his senses at this time. However, there was still a hint of fanatical excitement in his eyes. He couldn't help but ask when he heard Zhou Xun's words.
"He asked you to figure out the role well and don't ruin his hard work." Zhou Xun looked at Zhang Xueyou's curious look and said this slowly with a smile.
"This guy!" Zhang Xueyou couldn't help but smile, but subconsciously he still only grabbed the notebook in his hand. Just as Zhou Xun said, this role must be carefully studied. If it is really not played well, it will be useless for Ye Sumang to do his best.
Thinking of this, a hint of gratitude couldn't help but appear in Zhang Xueyou's eyes, thanking Ye Sumang for the opportunity he gave him, and thanking Ye Sumang for all this he did for him.
In the hospital that day, Ye Sumang received a doctor's examination because Ye Sumang had a history of frequent coma when he was a child, and he had no health problems. So the hospital quickly accepted Ye Sumang's discharge procedures.
In fact, the hospital also wished Ye Sumang left the hospital. Because Ye Sumang was hospitalized, there were a lot of reporters around the hospital every day, which seriously hindered the operation of the hospital itself.
After returning home, Ye Sumang was naturally complained by his friends who visited him. Even his grandfather, who had always loved him, could not help but nag him. Only Miss Liu Yifei kept silent. She stayed quietly beside Ye Sumang. When Ye Sumang needed anything, she could always send it to him as soon as possible, allowing Ye Sumang to see her magical skills again, and felt that this little girl seemed to be "Doraemon". She had a universal pocket that could be transformed into anything.
Early the next morning, after Ye Sumang had eaten the nutritious breakfast specially prepared for him by his grandfather, he set out on the way to the set. Yesterday, he had notified Joey to start work today when he was discharged from the hospital. I think at this time, the staff on the set should have been almost here.
It is still the dilapidated building in the suburbs of Beijing. The dilapidated building that is usually empty is now full of people. At a glance, there are no less than a hundred people, all of whom are staff members of the crew of "If? Love".
"Oh, uncle, do you think Director Ye can really come today?" Under a shade of a tree, a young son walked to a middle-aged man with two bottles of mineral water and asked whispered.
"That's more." The middle-aged man took a sip of the mineral water handed over by his son, and continued, "The notification sent by Director Ye himself is absolutely correct. Just wait, Director Ye will arrive on time at exactly nine o'clock!"
"I just asked this, who doesn't know that our director Ye will tell you the whole story." The son laughed embarrassedly, sat next to the man, took a sip of mineral water, and then said with emotion: "It's really uncomfortable without Director Ye these days. Even if he can't play during holidays, hell..."
"It's normal." The middle-aged man glanced at the young man for granted and said, "Director Ye is our backbone, just like a human spine. If the spine collapses, will the human being be finished?"
"It's reasonable. Fortunately, Director Ye was in danger this time. I pray that the Buddha Bodhisattva will bless Director Ye with good health..."
The conversation between the two actually represents most of the people present. As an employee of Tianxia Film and Television, the news that Ye Sumang suddenly fainted was actually not too much for them to use the word "the sky collapses". The impact is not even inferior to Ye Sumang's friends and relatives at all.
Because they know very well who gave them the job, and who is controlling and guiding the development of Tianxia Film and Television to the present level, they naturally understand who the central character of Tianxia Film and Television is and who is their "Heaven". Naturally, there is only one answer, that is Ye Sumang.
Just as the middle-aged man and the young adulterer were chatting together, a white BMW Z4 drove into their eyes. The familiar model almost instantly made the two people recognize the driving person.
"Director Ye is here!!!"
He was young and couldn't help but feel angry. He shouted excitedly when he saw the car. Almost instantly, the whole noisy set suddenly became quiet. Three seconds later, a louder sound than before suddenly rang out again, scaring that he was trembling when he first shouted.
"Director Ye, we miss you so much!"
"Director Ye, you are here. Without you, we have no backbone, and we feel bored in working."
"Director Ye, my wife specially made chicken soup for you. You want to give Lao Zhang a face and drink it!"
At this moment, everyone who was busy put down their work at the same time. They rushed to the door of the set and watched the slender figure walk down from the dazzling white sports car.
"Hello everyone." A very ordinary greeting was like a spark gradually entering the oil pan, which instantly caused an explosion at the scene. Almost everyone was greeting Ye Sumang loudly, and some were excited and even shed tears. It seemed that seeing a healthy Ye Sumang made their spirits extremely excited.
"Lao Zhang. I dare not understand your wife's skills. I don't know who drank chicken soup and ended up having diarrhea for three days."
"Old Wu, why are you still 'cat peeing' in your fifties? I've held it in my arms. I'll have to control the lights later. If I take my actors into a big face, I'll look good as you."
"And you. Bai Ge, you boy, look like a bear. I have nothing to do with it. Don't show that dead face..."
Along the way, Ye Sumang greeted everyone kindly, taking care of almost everyone. Looking at everyone's eyes full of concern, Ye Sumang's heart was also full of emotion.
It took Ye Sumang a short distance of less than a hundred meters. It took him ten minutes to arrive at the set.
"Okay, if you care, then you will end up here. Entering the set will enter the battlefield. Now that work begins, all staff will be in place. The photography team and I will arrange the cameras and the lighting team will adjust the lights. Today I want to color blue and gray. In addition, the theater will notify the costumes and props. The 36th scene 61st mirror will be filmed, so that they can quickly prepare the costumes and props for me..."
As Ye Sumang's face changed, everyone present became serious. No one blamed Ye Sumang for being ruthless. Instead, he felt that this was their "head". Listening to Ye Sumang's familiar and rigorous planning, everyone felt that they were full of motivation and wanted to do something big immediately.
After a few words, nearly a hundred staff members on the scene were assigned to various places in an orderly manner by Ye Sumang and started their own work. Zhou Xun and Zhang Xueyou, who had been waiting aside for a long time, also came over immediately.
"Su Mang." Zhang Xueyou couldn't help but feel excited when he saw Ye Su Mang. He even brought a tremolo when he shouted this name.
"Brother Xueyou, how are you trying to figure out the character?" Ye Sumang smiled and took the two of them to the bench beside him and asked with a smile.
"It's okay to force it, but I'll give you more guidance during the filming." Zhang Xueyou said happily with a big smile on his face. The actors hoped that they could receive a wonderful role. Now Zhang Xueyou is like this. Ye Sumang's modified role gave him so much surprise that after a day passed, he was still excited.
"Hahaha, I can't help you much. I think Brother Xueyou, please beg Zhou Xun more. After all, she is the one who has the most rivalry with you." Ye Sumang laughed happily, and after saying that, he also aimed at Zhou Xun beside him.
At this time, Zhou Xun also had an excited smile on her face. Her role was not very adapted. However, because the two male protagonists were not outstanding before, she also felt like she was acting in a one-man show. At this time, it was different. The two male protagonists after the modification were sublimated to a certain extent, so the opponent scenes between the three of them became more and more exciting. Zhou Xun now wants to stand in the camera and perform immediately to express the excitement that she had been holding in her heart for a long time.
The three leading actors gathered together to chat, so naturally no one was disturbing him without open eyes. During this period, Ye Sumang helped the two analyze the revised plot direction and the inner changes of the character "Nie Wen". An hour passed without realizing it, and soon a staff member came to inform Ye Sumang.
"Okay, what should be analyzed is almost done. The rest depends on your performance. Come on." Ye Sumang smiled and patted the two people on the shoulders. Although one was ten years older than him and the other was over 20 years older than him, Ye Sumang made this move very naturally, and the two people on the opposite side naturally accepted it.
All of this is naturally because of Ye Sumang's own talent, which is worth ignoring the boundaries brought by age.
The next scene was a rivalry between Zhou Xun and Ye Sumang. The content was very simple. Sun Na (Zhou Xun), who followed Lin Jiandong (Ye Sumang) back to the dormitory, fell asleep tiredly after taking a shower. Lin Jiandong carefully pulled the curtain for Sun Na, cooked instant noodles and was about to go to bed. But he found that Sun Na who was asleep was making waves of teeth grinding sounds... Until the next day, Lin Jiandong found that Sun Na was missing. At the same time, he disappeared. At the same time, he also disappeared a box of instant noodles, which was also the beginning of the relationship between the two.
Because this is a night-to-morning drama, although the time is wrong now, Ye Sumang naturally has his own way. With the efforts of the staff, Lin Jiandong's dormitory window was quickly covered with a large quilt, and a trace of light could not be seen, and the whole house instantly became pitch black. Apart from the disadvantage of being extremely stuffy, there was no difference from night.
"Director Ye, do you have to do this? It would be great to keep this scene for the night and film it again." An associate director suggested to Ye Sumang while wiping his sweat.
It’s not that he talks too much. The environment is really too harsh. He can’t stand it even when he stands aside, let alone the actors who have to be in the spotlight in a while. You should know that the temperature under the light will be at least four or five degrees higher than now. I think that’s definitely no different from a sauna.
"Acting is about coherence, and it is best to be able to shoot without interruption. This will also help the actors understand the development of the character's inner emotional world." Ye Sumang explained a little.
At this time, Zhou Xun, who was watching the script, nodded in agreement. Next to her, her assistant kept holding a small fan to blow the air to ensure that she would not faint in such an environment.
The crew was soon ready. This set of shots also officially started shooting.
Zhou Xun had already changed into an old pajama in her style and lay on the bed with her eyes closed, as if she was insecure. She was curled up together, like a lost little beast. It looked so pitiful.
At this time, Ye Sumang was walking into the house with a bowl of hot ramen and seeing the girl's appearance. Ye Sumang smiled and put down the ramen, carefully covered the noodle bowl, and placed the chopsticks. Then he walked to Zhou Xun's window and gently pulled her up the bed curtain.
After doing everything, Ye Sumang also lay on his bed. Just as he was about to turn off the desk lamp at the head of the bed, he suddenly noticed a strange sound. Looking along the sound, he saw Zhou Xun lying on the bed, biting something in his mouth. It turned out that the strange sound was the grinding sound of Zhou Xun...
"Ok!!!" Bai Ge's shout also represented the end of this set of shots, and Ye Sumang immediately withdrew his curious look.
The assistant who had prepared aside had immediately ran over, holding a small fan, iced mineral water and ice packs. After getting closer, he immediately cooled down the two actors without saying a word.
"You go and take a fan to help Zhou Xun blow, I have nothing to do here." Ye Sumang ordered his assistant. Zhou Xun was filmed with a quilt in the scene just now, which was much more uncomfortable than him.
Zhou Xun also heard Ye Sumang's words, and her irritability was gone because of the stuffiness and heat. Her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. She just sat on the small bed and smiled foolishly, allowing two assistants to take turns to cool her down.
Ye Sumang was holding half a bottle of iced mineral water to the director's position and began to see how the camera was shot just now.
"I think... I think it's okay." Bai Ge said after watching it, and Ye Sumang nodded in agreement. This scene is not difficult. With his and Zhou Xun's acting skills, it doesn't seem to be very difficult to pass it over again.
"After a close-up shot of Zhou Xun's 'thighs' look." After looking at the content just now, Ye Sumang immediately ordered.
"Close-up?" Bai Ge was stunned, and then began to recall the scene just now. He also learned to be a director. Soon his eyes went from being confused to suddenly realizing. When he looked at Ye Sumang, his eyes were full of admiration.
A close-up may not seem important, but adding such a shot into this short plot will be enough to sublimate the entire picture.
"Remember to tell the lights that the next close-up should not be exposed too much, and give Zhou Xun a shadow on one cheek." When Bai Ge went to execute Ye Sumang's order, Ye Sumang did not forget to instruct him again. He had simulated this scene in the illusion for more than a hundred times, so naturally what kind of atmosphere is the best.
Soon, Zhou Xun's personal close-up began. As the camera approached, Zhou Xun's lips moved gently, and a happy smile hanged on the corner of her mouth, as if she had eaten something very delicious in her dream, full of satisfaction...
"cut!" Ye Sumang shouted happily. Zhou Xun's acting skills were indeed not overwhelming. Such a three-second shot made her act so well. It was once again, which also made Ye Sumang's mood feel particularly comfortable.
"The quilts that opened the window for me are almost suffocated." After taking pictures of this set of shots, Ye Sumang immediately asked the venue to pull the quilts that were blocking the window. You must know that it has been covered for less than an hour, and the whole room is like a sauna in the bath center, which is so stuffy that it is unbearable.
The people on the scene did not need Ye Sumang's instructions, and they had already started to do things, especially the lighting team, which was the first time they were so enthusiastic about helping the venue. It wasn't that they were learning from Lei Feng, but the popularity of their lighting team was too amazing. In just a few minutes of shooting the camera, they had already had symptoms of heatstroke.
Then Ye Sumang finished filming the camera when he woke up in the morning alone, and the crew began to escape from the small and dilapidated house. Although it was sultry outside, it was better than the room like a sauna.
Zhang Xueyou had been waiting outside the house at this time, because the next scene was his rivalry with Zhou Xun. At this time, he couldn't help but be happy as everyone in the crew escaped from the hut in a mess. He thought that waiting outside would be enough to suffer, but he didn't expect that the people in the house would suffer even more.
"Damn it, you must prepare a carry-on air conditioner next time you film!!!" Ye Sumang swears after leaving the house. He was really fed up with this shooting environment, so he decided to immediately ask the venue to go to the home appliance market to buy carry-on air conditioner equipment. Otherwise, the scene would probably not be filmed, and everyone would have fallen to the ground due to heatstroke.
"Haha, Su Mang, you should have made this decision long ago." Zhang Xueyou, who was standing beside Ye Su Mang, had already come to Ye Su Mang's side and laughed and spoke.
Ye Sumang looked at Zhang Xueyou who was walking over, then looked at the script in his hand again. A smile suddenly appeared on his irritable face and asked, "Are you ready?"
Chapter completed!
