Hualiu Director

Chapter 88 Chen Ru or Li Hongwei?

Although Babaoshan has a special role, many film and television drama crews have filmed here over the years.

This scene does not mean that it is necessary to come here to shoot the scene, but because Chen Ru called Lin Hong on the day he finished reading the script. He expressed his thanks to Lin Hong many times on the phone, and said that he would take the initiative to Help the crew coordinate with Babaoshan.

At first, Lin Hong was a little puzzled, but after Huang Li inquired about it, he found out that Chen Ru's dead wife was sleeping peacefully in Babaoshan, and just like his wife in the script, she also died of cancer.In addition, the lines written by Lin Hong shattered Chen Ru's defenses.Chen Ru thought that Lin Hong's lines were tailor-made for him, so he was very grateful to Lin Hong.

Lin Hong also did not explain that the lines were a coincidence. He felt that sometimes it is cruel to break other people's illusions.

In Lin Hong's version of "Life Kiss Me Painfully", in the original script, every time Li Hongwei went to the cemetery to see his wife, he brought platycodon flowers and lavender. Shang Shangya guards her husband Li Hongwei.

However, Chen Ru found Lin Hong later, hoping to change bellflower and lavender into gardenia, because back then his wife liked the whiteness and indifference of gardenia the most.

Filming in a cemetery always makes people subconsciously solemn. The atmosphere of the crew today is like this. Even Zeng Shuming and Xing Wei, who always like to play tricks, stopped bickering, and Liao Xingmin didn't even greet the beauties of the crew.

Chen Ru came to the scene early, holding four bouquets of gardenias in his hands. This is because Li Hongwei visited his wife four times in the script. And play.This time the gardenias were bought by Chen Ru himself.

""Life Kiss Me Painfully" No.14, the first shot, the first line, action!"

"It's obviously a bunch of flowers, but I have to divide them into two bunches and sell them. I'm crazy to make money."

Li Hongwei first put aside the less severely withered flowers, obviously he had visited his wife not long ago.Then he wiped the tombstone clean with the flower wrapping paper, and then placed the flowers in front of the tombstone.In the camera, Li Hongwei moves skillfully, but there is not much sadness on his face, as if he is complaining to his wife about the random price increase in the supermarket next door.

(Chen Ru's life-like performance seems to have no dramatic features, but his grasp of the plot matching and the emotions of the characters is very contagious. Lin Hong is very satisfied with this.)

"However, thinking that it's for you, there's nothing wrong with combining the two bundles into one. Let's just buy one for our dad."

Speaking of this, Li Hongwei's face seemed to be immersed in memories, and finally he let out a long sigh.

"I miss you so much!"

After Li Hongwei said this affectionately, he stared at the photo on the tombstone for a long time, then turned and left.

"Cut! Passed."

Today's first shot and the first item are over, Lin Hong sees that Chen Ru is still immersed in the role, or immersed in reality, there is nothing wrong with it.

Although the shot just now took less than 2 minutes, the pre-production took more than an hour, which is why a 90-minute movie often needs to be shot for several months, the kind of big production of two or three hours It is a shooting cycle of several years at every turn.That's why Lin Hong's works when he participated in "Ask the Director to Advise" can be hailed as miracles.

Because we strive to achieve better details, so even if we shoot the same scene on the same day, we have to do it to make the audience feel obviously different.For example, the change of shadow under the sun can only wait for time.Of course, the details of the small flowers and grass growing or withering around the tombstone cannot let the audience see that it was shot on the same day.

And these are designed by the art team, and then arranged by the props team.

At 11:00, Lin Hong saw that the changes in natural light and shadow were obvious enough, and the details of the scenery at the tombstone had been completed, so Lin Hong announced to continue.

"I can't even buy a decent rope these days, and the new movers in the next room know how to mess around all the time, all the time..."

"cut..."

Lin Hong didn't shout, and shook his head slightly. Although Chen Ru felt that his state was fine just now, after getting in touch with him during this period of time, he was convinced of the young director's script analysis ability and guidance ability.

"Teacher Chen Ru, try to adjust the rhythm and mood of the lines just now."

Chen Ru heard Lin Hong's meaning should be "You just acted wrong, it was all wrong." He said that the adjustment was actually to save face for him.

"Well, tell me, director."

"Mr. Chen Ru, look at this section. Li Hongwei didn't die because of the poor quality of the rope. He went to the small commodity department store and was slapped by the salesperson. According to your understanding, he should be a little angry, but he couldn't bear the truth. I'm disturbing my wife who is sleeping here, that's why I speak under my breath. Is that so?

Chen Ru nodded in agreement, that's how he understood the script, the director's eyes were very accurate, he actually admired it.

"But I don't think it should be like this." As a director, Lin Hong must persuade Chen Ru to act according to his own requirements. "Although Li Hongwei encountered a lot of bad things in the community, he has reason to be angry because of the rope problem. But if you look at the other plots filmed earlier, Li Hongwei is not a person who will get angry in front of Shang Ya, and with his character, he One day, he won’t encounter bad things. So here he comes here to sue Shang Ya on the surface, but in fact he is afraid of loneliness, and wants to express his loneliness and longing through the excitement of the new neighbor’s family.”

What Lin Hong said was very clear, and Chen Ru's eyes became brighter and brighter. There is no doubt that Lin Hong, who is the screenwriter, understood it more thoroughly.The more Lin Hong said, the more Chen Ru caught the right emotion. "So my lines can't be fast, let alone be filled with resentment, but should be lonely."

Lin Hong nodded with a smile and gave Chen Ru a thumbs up, while Chen Ru felt ashamed and thought, "I'm ashamed, director, you are awesome!"

Re-set the tone for this shot, made a few tweaks and then turned it on again.

Li Hongwei didn't say anything when he approached the tombstone. Instead, he changed gardenias first, and then stared at the tombstone silently for five seconds.

(The close-up moment when his eyes moved away was captured by the second camera, and Lin Hong could read the loneliness in his eyes even through the monitor screen. By the way, this is the feeling, this is the emotion.)

"You can't even buy a decent rope these days." Li Hongwei's voice was soft and sighing, not angry, and he never brought anger to his beloved Shang Ya.

"The grandson of the family next door moved back. He didn't make any money in business, but he married a Guizhou daughter-in-law. He knew it was noisy all day long, and the house was sour when it was time for dinner. Eating hot pot is like It’s like a banquet at the state guesthouse, and it’s like celebrating the New Year every three days.”

When Li Hongwei said these trivial things, it seemed like a child was complaining to his parents. Why is their family so lively, but you left me and went away alone.

Seeing that no one answered him, Li Hongwei threw the newspaper he had brought beside the tombstone, and then lay down like that.He turned his head to look at the tombstone, and then stretched out his hand to caress the edge of the tombstone, just like holding her hand in those years.

"This time, you wait patiently for me for a few days."

Li Hongwei's voice was choked with sobs, but he never shed tears in front of his wife because he was strong all his life. He didn't before, and he won't now, so at the last moment, he turned his head and looked to the other side, but the hand touching the tombstone never separated.

"Cut! Perfect!"

As soon as Lin Hong finished speaking, everyone on the scene applauded. The women in the make-up group and the art group all had tears in their eyes. They were all moved by Li Hongwei's affection and loneliness at that moment.

However, when everyone was applauding, Chen Ru didn't get up, his body was curled up and his eyes were blindfolded, and tears flowed from between his fingers.For so many years, he has also pretended to be strong like Li Hongwei, unwilling to change and compromise on many things, even with his son.

Li Hongwei is so pitiful and lonely, why not Chen Ru!

Through this scene, Chen Ru really walked into Li Hongwei's heart. Just at that moment, he became Li Hongwei. Even though the director has called cut, Chen Ru still can't get out of Li Hongwei, he has entered the play.

As for the person lying on the ground now, is it Chen Ru or Li Hongwei?Who knows.

Lin Hong drove everyone away. The old artist curled up on the ground and missed his dead wife. It was not good for others to see. Lin Hong waved to Chen Ru's assistant in the distance, and then handed him a sun umbrella. It was too hot to lie on the grass in this weather.

Lin Hong deliberately took two bottles of Xiaoerliang during lunch, which is usually prohibited by Lin Hong's crew, but today Chen Ru's mood has collapsed, and it is not certain whether he can shoot in the afternoon.Besides, Lin Hong knew Chen Ru's drinking capacity, and he didn't like drinking. If he really adjusted, it would not delay the shooting.

Of course, even if we can't shoot in the afternoon, Lin Hong can fully accept it. With the scene in the morning, Lin Hong feels that it is worth the delay of two days.

There were only two small bottles of wine, only for Lin Hong and Chen Ru, and the rest of the people couldn't help it even if they were greedy. They didn't dare to buy more unless Lin Hong asked. This was also to establish Lin Hong's absolute authority on the set.

Chen Ru is worthy of being a professional old drama player. He cried for a while in the morning, and had a drink with Lin Hong at noon. After a lot, Chen Ru's emotions finally returned to normal.

Before the filming started in the afternoon, the producer Huang Li came, and the producer Xiao Di also came. The other actors and crew who participated in this movie came as long as they were in the capital, even if they didn't have a part in the movie today.

Lin Hong pulled the main creators to the monitor to watch the replays of the two shots in the morning. He especially let everyone appreciate the scene where Li Hongwei and Tombstone hold hands and talk.Sensitive Weng Zhenlong and Chen Ru resembled the relationship between father and daughter in the play, so Weng Zhenlong went to hug Chen Ru to show comfort.

At around 16:00 in the afternoon, when the vision was no longer so harsh and the natural light was sufficient, the third shot started shooting again.

"It's really not easy for people to want to die. Now even this little thing has moved in. I have to find a way to arrange it first, and then I will come to accompany you, I promise."

Li Hongwei brought the stray cat he had just adopted, like a child who made a mistake and made excuses, at this moment he was a little childlike.

"Hey, you can see clearly, it was like this when it came, and I didn't bully it."

"Goodbye!"

Li Hongwei bid farewell as if he had visited an old friend.

"Cut, it's over."

……

"I'm really short-sighted. Now that I think about it, I seem to have been like this all my life. It's hard work for you to endure my stupidity for so many years. Don't be angry with me, Shang Ya. It takes a lot of courage to admit that you made a mistake, especially Over the years of mistakes, you know how stubborn I am. But I'm going to fix it now, I know you don't like to see me angry, but I think you'll be on my side this time!"

At this time, Li Hongwei has more understanding of life. He has become soft and strong. At the same time, he has given up the idea of ​​suicide. He wants to live bravely, for himself, for others, and for his beloved wife Shang Ya .

"cut, finish!"

There was warm applause at the scene, and the joy on everyone's faces could be seen even in the cemetery.
