After more than two weeks of rain, the shooting community was flooded, which directly disrupted the crew's shooting plan. Jiang Yin also flew to Wuhan for a meeting. Fortunately, the previous shooting schedule was very tight. The content originally scheduled for two months was compressed to one and a half months, leaving a lot of space for subsequent changes.
"So first film the latter story?" Xia Xiqing couldn't help being a little worried, "But with Zhou Ziheng's body shape..."
"Yes." Zhou Ziheng took the words directly, "I will try to lose weight these days, plus makeup, I don't think there is a big problem."
"There is nothing we can do, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the Berlin Film Festival." Kuncheng touched his chin and sighed.
Jiang Yin held a signature pen in his hand and lightly clicked on the table, "Don't talk about the film festival, this is all a second story. We originally planned to set the date for World AIDS Day on December 1st, the meaning is consistent, and the timing is right. It’s also not bad. After Double Eleven and before Double Day, avoid strong files. But at least two months are reserved for post-editing production, plus the time for submission. You count it."
Zhou Ziheng condensed his eyebrows, "It will be finished in August at the latest."
But now it is only a week away from July, time is too tight.
"If you don't make up the shots, you can finish it smoothly." Director Kun looked at the schedule, "There are not many shots left, there are not a few games left."
These days when it rains, the group has finished filming all the rain-needing scenes, and even the deputy director joked, "This is the most economical group I have ever been in. The rain scenes are all real rain."
They just moved to the convenience store where Jiang Tong worked in the show. The staff and props staff were setting up. Xia Xiqing and the assistant director stood aside and waited. Hearing the assistant director joking, Xia Xiqing also said, "This is the case in Wuhan. It's better."
It just so happened that Zhou Ziheng, who had just finished putting on makeup, came over and stood beside Xia Xiqing. He continued to say, "When I was in high school, I was flooded at every turn. The stadium was low, and the whole was flooded into a lake. I drove on the road. It's all like sailing a boat, and I even touched a fish on the road."
Talking about Zhou Ziheng, he laughed first, "Where are you flooded?"
"At that time, I was a little shorter than I am now, maybe one meter and eighth, and I flooded my knees at the worst." Xia Xiqing leaned against the door and recalled, "At that time, many boys in the class went out with girls on their backs and let them go. Going to the bus stop or something." As he said, he suddenly laughed, "At that time Chenchen was almost carried back. He was embarrassed and refused to agree, and the two almost didn't quarrel."
The deputy director laughed, "Xi Qing, you didn't take the opportunity to back the female classmates in the class?"
Zhou Ziheng imagined the scene for a moment, turned his face to look at Xia Xiqing, and smiled like a lively look, "Right, what about you?"
"Me?" Xia Xiqing smiled stubbornly, "I can't take care of myself, who is all right to carry them? I want someone to carry me. Every time it rains, I will be damaged. sneakers."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhou Ziheng smirk constantly, even the deputy director was a little baffled.
Is it so funny.
When the deputy director went to work on other things and left, Zhou Ziheng hit Xia Xiqing with his shoulder, "I'm carrying you."
Xia Xiqing glanced at Zhou Ziheng, and the scene called his name. He responded and stuffed half of the coffee in his hand into Zhou Ziheng's hand, ready to go to the director.
"Don't let you carry it, don't you also carry it?"
Flutteringly left this sentence, smiled holding the umbrella and took Xia Xiqing away, leaving Zhou Ziheng alone with a smirk on the spot.
Next to Director Kun is another new actor Guo Yang, a handsome actor in his forties, who is easily impressed with the suit and straight look in the play. Xia Xiqing had already met him on the night of the meeting, and the two had already met him beforehand.
"Fortunately, I am also a tall man," Guo Yang, who was 1.9 meters tall, laughed. "Otherwise, Jiang Tong, a tall man, would really not be able to act weakly in front of ordinary people."
Kuncheng laughed too, "This is the scene with the tallest actor's average height I have ever filmed. I feel like falling into the pit every day."
Guo Yang has been in the entertainment industry for many years. He had no ambitions in his early years and has not been popular. However, after entering middle age, he has won the love of many young female fans because of his elegant temperament and superb acting skills.
In this play, he played a business executive Cheng Qiming who noticed Jiang Tong when he bought cigarettes in a convenience store. He saw Jiang Tong thinking of his brother. He was very kind to him and often used to buy things. I came to see him in the name of, and brought gifts when I was on business trips.
Jiang Tong resisted at first, but gradually he was willing to accept his kindness. Later, when I accompanied Gao Kun to the test, he learned from the doctor that the virus in his body had developed drug resistance, and it was very likely that the person who infected him had already taken the drug and developed a drug-resistant reaction. He took the drug. It was too late, and the immunity was almost gone. If they want to continue treatment, it is far from enough to rely on the first-line drugs distributed free of charge by the state, but they do not have the money to buy the drugs at their own expense.
Seeing Gao Kun was admitted to the hospital with a high fever due to complications, Jiang Tong worked desperately, but still couldn't help him, so he could only borrow money from Cheng Qiming for help. It just so happens that when Gao Kun and Lingling mingled together, they read an interview with Cheng Qiming while reading a magazine.
At that time Lingling even raised a gossip, "I heard a little sister of mine who works in a high-level club said that this man doesn't like little girls, and only finds ducklings in the club to accompany him."
Gao Kun therefore misunderstood Jiang Tong, and the two had a big fight.
This is the scene they need to finish today, and it is also the last rain scene of the film.
"Jiang Tong is here, just right, let's talk about it together. This is two literary dramas and a conflict drama." A little assistant held an umbrella for Kun. He walked outside the glass door, "We will use a few more in a minute. One of the shots from different angles is outside this door. So you should pay attention when you move, and try to make this camera clear."
After roughly explaining it several times, Kuncheng returned to the monitor.
"Ready to shoot the first one."
"The first time in the 74th scene of "Tracking" A lens, Action!"
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Jiang Tong, who had been on duty for two hours, had moved more than a dozen boxes of goods in a row, filling the vacancies on the shelves one by one. He is afraid of strangers, and it is inconvenient to hear that he can't be a cashier, so he can only do some harder and more tiring work.
The cashier colleague Archie suddenly came over with his belly, patted him on the shoulder, and said loudly to him, "Jiang Tong, I went to the toilet and my stomach hurts to death. Please help me stand on the counter, thank you ."
Jiang Tong lowered his head halfway, took off his gloves and put them in his pockets and walked to the counter. Fortunately, there was always no one in the early morning, so he didn't have to worry too much.
Unexpectedly, just thinking about this, the automatic welcome voice of the convenience store at the door rang, Jiang Tong dullly raised his head, and then quickly lowered, only a pair of legs in expensive suits could be seen in his field of vision.
The guest took a cup of coffee, stood in front of the counter, and said kindly, "Hello, can you give me the bag of Yellow Crane Tower full of stars."
The other party's voice was really gentle, Jiang Tong only heard the three words Yellow Crane Tower, hurriedly squatted down to find him a bag, and pushed his head down.
"No, I want the sky full of stars, blue soft bag."
blue.
Knowing that he was looking for it wrong, Jiang Tong squatted down to find the blue Yellow Crane Tower, held it in both hands and handed it to the guest, stammering in his mouth, saying sorry, very quietly.
The hands that received the cigarette were very clean, and the nails were neatly trimmed.
"Thank you, how much is it?"
Jiang Tong scanned it, glanced up cautiously, saw the numbers on the screen, and reported it to the guests standing in front of him with difficulty.
He took out a one-hundred-yuan note from his wallet and handed it to Jiang Tong, waiting patiently for him to find the change, and finally said thank you, opened the door and left.
When the automatic voice at the door ended, Jiang Tong breathed a sigh of relief. When he raised his head, he could only see half of the figure under a black umbrella, and pulled the door to get in.
"Cut!"
Although Kuncheng has a good personality, he is very striving for perfection in filming. This scene of buying cigarettes has been filmed 21 times. In fact, he also felt puzzled that Xia Xiqing and Zhou Ziheng were full of tension in a pair of scenes, but they always owed a little bit of meaning to other people, and it took a long time to find that feeling.
"Wait for those scenes, which are the scenes that Jiang Tong and Cheng Qiming are gradually familiar with. You have to show a sense of attachment to your father, but the scale should not be too large, you have to grasp it."
Hearing Kuncheng saying this, Xia Xiqing felt even more difficult.
Children who have lacked the love of their father since childhood often have two personality tendencies when they grow up. One is the extreme desire for the love knot of the father and always expects to find similar alternative emotions from others, and the other is for the father. Dislikes of love and similar emotions.
Xia Xiqing is obviously the latter, and to let him play the former is a complete leap of the chasm.
Bite the scalp to act a few times, Director Kun still feels dissatisfied, "There is only softness in your eyes, and there is no such kind of dependence on him that he has opened up."
After talking about the play for a long time, Zhou Ziheng, who was standing by, also participated in the discussion, "Director, do you really think Jiang Tong is open to Cheng Qiming? Although I look at it from Gao Kun’s perspective, I think Jiang Tong In fact, the only person who really depends on is Gao Kun. If he is not forced to do so, he will not ask Cheng Qiming for help."
The two people almost quarreled because of their roles, but this is already a common occurrence in the crew. Everyone is doing their own things and no one intervenes. The two people talked about not having a relationship. Xia Xiqing finally expressed his opinion.
"If he really depends on Cheng Qiming, he must have told him that Gao Kun is sick early in the morning. He has been hiding it and it is actually a kind of distrust." He said, he paused, "What's more, In a living environment like Jiang Tong, when he was a child, he watched his mother bring a variety of adult men home. It is unrealistic for men to feel dependent."
Zhou Ziheng glanced at him worriedly, then reiterated his ideas to Kuncheng. Even Guo Yang, who was watching from the sidelines, stood in the team, "Actually, I think their analysis is more reasonable. If I were to play Jiang Tong, I would be more afraid of cowering." He started to joke again, "but I He can only play middle-aged Jiang Tong hahaha."
Kuncheng only compromised and felt that his thinking was a bit biased, but he has always been a director who is willing to accept the suggestions of actors. Filming is originally a team creation, and sometimes the director may not feel more deeply about a certain role than the actor.
"Then let's do it again according to this train of thought."
After taking three or four more shots, Zhou Ziheng stared at the monitor, looking at the emotions in Xia Xiqing’s eyes in the camera. For Xia Xiqing, it is not difficult to pretend to be weak. With his face, there is no sense of disobedience at all. But it was so terrible that in addition to timidity and shrinking in his eyes, Cheng Qiming's eyes also had a complex emotion, the uncomfortable feeling of accepting the kindness of others, and the stubbornness hidden in his bones.
Those emotions belonged to Xia Xiqing.
"Okay." Director Kun glanced at his watch. It was already three o'clock in the morning. "Let's hurry up, we won't be able to take pictures at dawn."
The last scene is the conflict scene in which Gao Kun participated. The stylist took Guo Yang to change clothes, and the makeup artist came up to touch up Xia Xiqing's makeup, and Zhou Ziheng was there to help him with the scene.
While speaking, Xia Xiqing glanced at Zhou Ziheng, his face was very ugly, and the corner of his right mouth was herpes, some of which were broken. His eye sockets were sunken, his face was unhealthy yellow, and the lymph in his neck was swollen. Although he knew that this was the credit of the makeup artist, he couldn't say why. Just looking at Xia Xiqing felt distressed.
"Don't look at me." Zhou Ziheng covered his face with the script.
"Don't look at him," the lady makeup artist held Xia Xiqing's chin with her hand, "I can't put on his makeup even after watching him."
"Who is watching him?" Xia Xiqing turned his head and heard Zhou Ziheng smiling beside him.
He suddenly remembered that at the very beginning, he had come to audition because he had to disrupt the scene to prevent other little fresh meat from filming with Zhou Ziheng. Thinking about it this way, I was really stupid at the beginning.
But if he doesn't come, they may still be the kind of relationship that can't be pierced.
"The first time in the 76th scene A of "Tracking", Action!"
A heavy rain kept falling. After moving the goods, Jiang Tong quietly entered the staff lounge, took off his jacket and soaked up some water with a towel before putting it on again.
When closing the lattice cabinet, he saw the bento box inside and a small box of chocolates.
After this night, I bought a hot three-fresh bean curd early tomorrow morning and took it to the hospital to find Gao Kun. Jiang Tong closed the door of the cabinet, took out the phone and looked at the time. Just as he was about to put it back, a text message came. He hurriedly stuffed the phone into his pants pocket, walked out of the lounge, and looked around.
Outside the convenience store stood a man in a neat suit, still holding the dark umbrella. He leaned back against the umbrella, showing his face and smiling at Jiang Tong.
Jiang Tong glanced at the checkout counter. It was a girl who was on the night shift with him tonight, who was following the show with her head down and intently. He went out under the pretext and saw Cheng Qiming stooping down.
Cheng Qiming walked under the eaves of the convenience store, took the umbrella, and smiled kindly, "Others have shifts, why do you work all night night shifts every day?"
The rain was loud, but fortunately his voice was loud, Jiang Tong barely heard it, he half lowered his head, trying to explain but unable to explain, "I... I..."
"I'll just ask, don't be nervous." He naturally stretched out his hand and patted Jiang Tong's thin shoulder, but Jiang Tong hid sensitively without raising his head.
"Oh right," Cheng Qiming immediately changed the subject, "You said you have something to tell me, what's the matter?" Jiang Tong smelled of disinfectant water on his body. Obviously, he asked again, "It was because of your illness. Friends of yours?"
Jiang Tong heard this sentence very clearly. He immediately nodded, subconsciously trying to compare sign language, but just raised his hand and put it down, explaining to him very hard, "Illness, sickness... very serious... needs, a lot... a lot... money... You, you..." He was too anxious and accidentally choked and coughed several times. Cheng Qiming stepped forward and patted him on the back, "You slow down, slow down." He raised his eyes and looked inside the convenience store. "It's not convenient to talk here, why don't you go to the car and talk with me?"
Jiang Tong glanced at the car and shook his head, "I... I think, I want to... borrow a little... money..." He said lightly the last word. The humble nature and the embarrassment of his childhood made him really unable to make a big difference. Withdraw money squarely. But he was afraid that Cheng Qiming thought he was a liar and wanted to explain clearly to him. He took out the notebook and pen from the pocket of his work uniform, "You...you...wait...I..."
After he finished speaking, he squatted down quickly, desperately trying to write everything he wanted to say. What disease did Gao Kun get, why he got the disease, and why he had to be treated at his own expense. Anxious, shaking all over.
"Don't worry, come on, let's get up and say." Cheng Qiming pulled up Jiang Tong, "Let's go to the car, you can sit, it's not convenient to stand here."
Jiang Tong shook his head first, but then shook his head and nodded. Ren Cheng Qiming opened his umbrella, half-wrapped his shoulders and walked to the expensive car, and opened the door gentlemanly for him.
"Go in."
Just as Jiang Tong was about to bend in, a person suddenly came out and pulled him out with unexplained strength. Jiang Tong was taken aback, and he looked up and saw Gao Kun!
"High... High..."
"Bring me here." Gao Kun's original umbrella was now overturned on the ground, the rain crackled on his face, his eyebrows were twisted, and he reached out and pushed Cheng Qiming away, "Fuck you. What are you doing?" After speaking, he pushed again, "Where do you want to take him?"
Cheng Qiming wanted to explain. Gao Kun was about to hit someone before it was clear. Jiang Tong immediately stood in between them and was too anxious to speak. He could only scream and grab Gao Kun's hand. All the notebooks I held fell to the ground.
Gao Kun suddenly thought that he had only finished the injection on his hand, and that he still had the eye of the needle. He immediately retracted his hand, but the fire in his heart couldn't come down, "You let me go, let go!"
Jiang Tong was taken aback by him, and he let go of the hand holding his arm in a daze, and looked into his eyes.
"Go home." Seeing him standing still, Gao Kun yelled again, "I told you to go back, don't you understand human words?"
"Don't do this, he is to help you..."
Gao Kun directly interrupted Cheng Qiming's explanation, "Did I let you talk? Please stay away from him, if you want to harm others, don't look for him! Don't think that you have two money and you can just spoil others. !"
Jiang Tong suddenly understood Gao Kun's meaning.
He bends down in silence, picks up the little book that he has been drenched in, and hands it to Gao Kun without saying a word, but Gao Kun is angry, and he hasn't finished pulling with Cheng Qiming, so he can care about Jiang Tong.
"I'm telling you! I can't care about you like men or women, but you are not allowed to move Jiang Tong! He is not your kind, please stay away from him!" Gao Kun said as he said, remembering what he was doing before. The boy seen by the epidemic prevention center is also white and pure, younger than Jiang Tong, but after spending a night in a bar, he was drunk, raped and infected with AIDS, and he became just like him. , Frightened every day.
Gao Kun pushed Jiang Tong with his elbow, "Go home, go home."
Jiang Tong's notebook was pushed away by him again, and he picked it up in a hurry, stood up and wanted to give it to him, when he found Gao Kun fell at his feet.
He was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground, hugged Gao Kun’s head in the torrential rain, and turned around to face Cheng Qiming. He wanted to pass the little book in his arms to him, but he had no choice but to continue to him. Knocking his head, the incoherent voice was cut to pieces by the heavy rain.
"Help... he... please, please... you..."
After several knocks, Cheng Qiming couldn't bear it, so he could only squat down and the two of them lifted Gao Kun into the car and closed the door.
"You go to the co-pilot, we have to send your friend to the emergency department now."
Jiang Tong got on the co-pilot, but he almost turned around, staring tremblingly at Gao Kun lying unconscious in the back seat.
Cheng Qiming glanced at him, sighed, and started the car and drove to the hospital.
"pass."
This scene was taken fourteen times before it was taken. The three actors dragged in the rain for an hour and a half. When the director called to stop, several assistants immediately held up their umbrellas and wrapped bath towels around them. The car that Jiang Yin arranged for Xia Xiqing had a problem on the road, and Xiaoxiao could only temporarily connect him to Zhou Ziheng's RV. Anyway, it was raining heavily at this time, and there were almost no paparazzi.
"Finally, the filming was finished before dawn. If you consume it like this, you will get sick." Xiaoxiao took clean clothes and hot black tea that he had prepared earlier, and removed the makeup on Zhou Ziheng's face. "Xi Qing is sick. It's been half a month."
Xi Qing smiled and said thank you, smiled and then followed Ronaldinho to the driver's seat in front, and also helped them to close the curtain very intimately, "You can sleep for a while. When you go back to the hotel, it will be dawn."
Zhou Ziheng had already changed his clothes when Xia Xiqing got in the car, and now he is the only one left.
"Turn it over."
Zhou Ziheng's face seemed to be smiling, his voice lowered a little, "I haven't seen it anywhere from the inside out."
Xia Xiqing was too lazy to pull with him, "Love can't turn." He quickly took off his shirt. Zhou Ziheng obediently took a towel to dry his upper body, and put his short sleeves on his head.
The makeup on her face had long been washed away by the heavy rain, and she was replaced with white short sleeves. Xia Xiqing is now alive like a student, pure and refreshing.
"Let me help you with the pants?" Zhou Ziheng picked up the pants on the table and shook it. Xia Xiqing snatched it the next second and gave him a fierce look.
Even though he was joking, he was scrupulous about the assistant in the driver's seat, Zhou Ziheng still turned his face away, his mind was full of the scenes from the scene just now, his emotions were not completely removed yet.
Xia Xiqing changed his clothes and lay down on the sofa bed in the RV, feeling that he was hollowed out.
Zhou Ziheng also lay down on his side, kissed Xia Xiqing's eyes, and whispered, "I'm crying and swollen."
After hearing this, Xia Xiqing blocked her eyes with the back of her hand, thinking about filming, "If it gets so swollen, I won't even be able to play tomorrow."
"Don't cover it." Zhou Ziheng kissed his palm, "You look good when you cry, I like to watch it."
Xia Xiqing took his hand away and patted his forehead, "Why do I think you have a sadistic tendency? Are you a sick man in your bones?"
"Bing Jiao? What is Bing Jiao?" Zhou Ziheng grabbed Xia Xiqing's hand and kissed again.
"That's..." How to explain, Xia Xiqing thought for a while, and felt that the explanation was unclear, "Forget it, you can check it yourself." He looked at Zhou Ziheng, who had lost a lot of weight, and seemed to lose a bit of his previous total offensive aura. , It is really like a twenty-year-old child, red hair can not stop the juvenile spirit.
Xia Xiqing first touched his face, then went down and squeezed Zhou Ziheng's waist. "You have lost a lot of weight. You have lost 15 pounds during this time."
"It's almost twenty catties." Zhou Ziheng sighed, "Director Kun said that I have to be thinner. My abdominal muscles are gone."
These days, Zhou Heng’s box lunches are all specially arranged by Jiang Yin. Sometimes he eats a bowl of boiled lettuce and eats some apples cut into small pieces in the middle of the movie. In this way, his figure has become a thin bamboo pole.
The actor's figure itself needs to be adjusted according to the role. This is a job that Zhou Ziheng has not experienced before in filming. He is also very willing to dedicate himself to art, but now he is filming with people he likes, and I still don't want him to see himself ugly. Look like.
Xia Xiqing poked his sunken cheek and sighed, "Hurry up."
No matter how thin you are, your body will be overwhelmed.
"Are you looking down?" Zhou Ziheng smiled.
"Why do you say that?"
Zhou Ziheng lowered his head and hugged Xia Xiqing, his voice was much quieter, "You didn't say before, you just like this face and figure..."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Xiqing laughed. Zhou Ziheng looked up at him, "What are you laughing at?"
"Laugh at how I was fooled by a fool like you."
"you… "
"Although I don't dislike white chicken, you'd better get me back in shape quickly after finishing, otherwise..." Xia Xiqing leaned to Zhou Ziheng's ear, holding the small silver stud earrings on his earlobe. , The tip of the tongue is hot and humid, the cold metal is rubbed and the skin is gradually hot.
The same as his voice, soft.
"Many poses can't be unlocked."
