Chapter 52 There is a child named Changhe
"Prepare!"
The entire movie is set in just one house and the yard outside.
The scene changes throughout the entire movie are just the movers moving away beds, sofas and other things.
This creates an open space.
In the original version, everything revolves around the fireplace.
In Han Zhou's version, the story revolves around the fire pit.
It took Zhang Jiuquan a lot of effort to find a house with a fire pit.
This is the south, and no one has a fire pit at home.
What's more, it's a beautiful little house with a fire pit in the living room.
This is very difficult to find.
But in the end, Zhang Jiuquan still found it.
Zheng Jianjun, the owner of Hengdian Changquan Martial Arts School, lives in an old house with a big pit in the middle.
This big hole was caused by practicing boxing in the living room for many years.
Just dig it up and build it with bricks and you will have a fire pit.
Although he moved into the city, Zheng Jianjun still attended the event today and brought his son to watch the fun.
Because he grew up in Hengdian, Zheng Jianjun's son Zheng Changhe had a dream of becoming an actor.
I heard that a film crew was coming to my old house to shoot a movie, so I had to come and see it.
At this moment, a scene from the opening stage is being played out.
At this time, the protagonist Gu Lang has revealed that he is a member of the ancient tribe of Shangshan Ruins who has lived for 11,000 years and has survived to the modern era.
The anthropologists, historians, national scholars, and biologists present were unable to find any loopholes.
Anthropologists believe that Gu Lang has provided a very good idea for a novel, and perhaps after he finishes writing it, they can point out the mistakes in his book regarding humans and sociology.
But Gu Lang said that he would not be wrong, because these were his memories, which were more real than real history.
So, the second wave of confrontation began under this circumstance.
The following is an original point created by Han Zhou based on geographical location factors.
Historian: "Why do you have a fire pit in your house? I have rarely seen fire pits in the south, but in my hometown, there are fire pits everywhere."
Gu Lang, played by Han Zhou, is really like a professor who cannot see the truth behind the fog. While doing his own thing, he explained: "From 18,000 to 10,000 years ago, the earth experienced a small ice age, and I was born in what is now Zhejiang Province 11,000 years ago."
"When I was growing up, and even for the past thousand years, my memories were all spent around the campfire."
"When the weather got warmer, I followed the cold north and arrived at what later generations called the Central Plains. It was here that I saw the fire pit, so I like fire pits very much. Every time I move, I will build a fire pit in the living room."
Gu Lang said casually.
The historian was surprised: "Great! You actually linked the unique fire pit in your house to the Little Ice Age."
"But the more truthful your words are, the less I believe you are an immortal. I will definitely find loopholes in your words and refute you!"
Everyone present, whether they had lines or not, didn't seem to be acting.
Instead, it seemed like a real debate taking place in this house.
The camera is just to record these things.
Next to the assistant director and stage manager Zhang Jiuquan, the young Zheng Changhe was extremely shocked.
Because Zheng Changhe has watched many TV drama shooting scenes.
Whenever I have time, I go to the film and television city to watch it.
But I haven't seen many movie shoots yet.
Why is this set different from other sets?
It shouldn’t be the case that a director sits there with a megaphone and says, “Cut! What the hell are you acting in!”
"Cut! You, the one in yellow, you're blocking the light, you know that? You graduated from a film school, but you can't even move with your back to the camera?"
"Hey, hey, why are you shaking your close-up camera? Your face is shaking out of the viewfinder!!!"
How come this crew, shot after shot, looks like they are having a real conversation, it doesn't feel like acting at all.
Zheng Changhe once saw that a simple dialogue scene was shot in six shots.
There were twelve lines in total, and with the acting quality of a TV series, it took three hours to shoot.
I've also seen a movie crew where the director was still not satisfied after taking a shot for one sentence 17 or 18 times.
But I have never seen the effect of watching one shot after another, all in one go, and watching the shooting for a while, as if you have watched a ten-minute movie.
"Bravo!"
While he was in a daze, Han Zhou walked over to Chen Xiaoyong, took a look, and then instructed: "For the next shot, put the camera in this position first, push a detail of his leather jacket from behind, and then focus on the stone knife in his hand."
"Hurry up, this shot is shot, and the next shot has another dialogue."
Chen Xiaoyong immediately understood what Han Zhou meant: "Keep the window light source in the upper left corner, right?"
"Yes." Han Zhou didn't explain in detail.
If the photographer's skills are not high enough, he will not be able to understand what Han Zhou means by the lens.
But Chen Xiaoyong immediately understood what Han Zhou meant and began to adjust the focus.
After seven consecutive shots, the veteran actor who played the role of the Chinese scholar seemed a little exhausted.
After all, she is a lady. Although it is a literary drama, the energy consumption of filming a movie is much higher than that of filming a TV series.
Han Zhou noticed that she was in an unstable state: "Take a break, Jiu, serve hot drinks to the teachers."
Zhang Jiuquan came forward with a teapot and poured hot water for everyone.
"Suburbs, understand, understand..."
"Teacher, have some tea."
"Teacher Zhou, have some tea."
"Ye...Ye..." Zhang Jiuquan stuttered when he saw Ye Manyi.
Ye Manyi showed a charming smile: "Just call me Sister Manman, you should be younger than me, right?"
Zhang Jiuquan smiled and poured water: "Sister Manman, have some tea."
Han Zhou turned around and took out a cigarette, ready to light it, but he turned around and saw Zheng Changhe. So he didn't light the cigarette, but looked at Zheng Jianjun, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Are you the landlord, Mr. Zheng? Thank you very much!"
Zheng Jianjun grinned and shook hands with Han Zhou: "You're welcome, I paid you."
"My son wanted to see you guys filming, so I brought him over to watch."
Han Zhou looked at Zheng Changhe, who was only slightly taller than his waist, and said, "Boy, do you want to make a movie?"
"As an actor?"
Zheng Changhe nodded: "Yes! I want to be an actor!"
Han Zhou looked left and right. Zheng Changhe was quite likable, with a youthful air of heroism and nice facial features.
"Have you practiced your lines?" Han Zhou said, pointing to the teachers blowing teacups. "These are all top supporting actors or top-tier, quasi-top-tier actors of the older generation."
“Did you see their lines?”
Zheng Changhe, however, put on a martial arts posture and said, "I want to act in martial arts films, not this kind. This kind of drama is boring."
Han Zhou raised his eyebrows: "The literary drama is boring? If you can't perform the literary drama, how can you perform the martial arts drama?"
"Do you know Wu Li?"
Zheng Changhe nodded seriously and said, "I know! I've seen all the movies he made a few years ago!"
Han Zhou smiled and said, "In my last movie, Wu Li played only literary roles, no fighting scenes."
"If you don't know the lines, your expressions aren't in place, and your body movements aren't in place, what's the point of just being able to fight?"
"There are so many boxing and martial arts gyms across the country, doesn't that mean everyone can be a fighting star?"
Zheng Changhe looked up at his father and felt that what Han Zhou said made a lot of sense.
If you can become a big star just by being able to fight, then your dad should be a big star!
Zheng Changhe looked at Han Zhou and said, "Then how do we practice literary drama?"
"Look, think, and practice."
Han Zhou himself didn't know how to act, but Han Zhou had been taught how to act by that liar director Luo Linyou, and had also read the book he gave him.
"At first glance, it means observing how others act, or observing what the character you are going to play is like in real life."
“The second thing is to think about it. Think about the differences between similar characters and the differences between each character in different scenarios.”
"The third is practice. If you read and think about it but don't practice, it's all in vain."
"There are many kinds of actors. Some can't even make an expression and look like a dead pig on the set. Some are better and know how to make expressions."
"When you tell him to laugh, he slaps his knees and laughs, and leans forward and backward. When you tell him to cry, he opens his mouth and screams."
"Actors at the third level have mastered the subtle differences of the role. A little movement or a little change in the eyes can make people feel that they are divine."
Of course, there are also higher-level actors who are so good at playing whatever role they play that you will forget their names while watching the drama.
But there is no need to tell this to newcomers like Zheng Changhe.
Zheng Jianjun scratched his head : "There are so many film studios in Hengdian, but no one has ever given Changhe an acting lesson."
"How about Director Han, can you let Chang He learn in your crew?"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment: "Study? I'm not a teacher..."
Zheng Jianjun: "The rent is waived!"
Han Zhou's eyes lit up immediately: "You can teach, but teaching on the set is equivalent to hiring child labor, isn't it?"
Zheng Jianjun: "During the time on the set, I took care of all the meals every day. I know there is a leisure base nearby with great food!"
Han Zhou laughed: "That's interesting. I like making friends like you, Brother Zheng."
"Then I will take Changhe."
"But I have to make it clear in advance that not everyone is suitable for this job. Some people have studied acting for more than ten years and still can't learn it."
Zheng Jianjun patted his chest and said, "It's okay, as long as Director Han accepts him."
"If he has learned it, it means he has the talent, so I will send him to continue learning."
"If he can't learn anything, it means he's not cut out for it. Forget it now!"
"You can't have a tall guy practicing with a dagger while a short guy is playing with a broadsword!"
Han Zhou thought Zheng Jianjun was quite interesting: "Okay then."
As he spoke, Han Zhou picked up his phone and said, "Let me teach you one more thing. To do this job, just like practicing martial arts, you need to keep your eyes and ears open."
"Is it okay?"
Zheng Changhe responded quickly: "We all need to be vigilant!"
Han Zhou: “I always check Weibo.”
Han Zhou opened Weibo and was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
Today's "Hello Mr. Tree" is here.
And it’s a double portion.
First, Chen Feng released the MV of "The Train is Leaving", which was recorded in the snowy wilderness.
This picture alone is very rock and roll.
The second is that "Hello Mr. Tree" was selected for the White Snow Film Festival in the Bear Country and was shortlisted for three awards.
Best Director, Best Actor, Best Picture Awards.
Now that the new year has come, we have entered the award season, so the film festival will be holding its awards ceremony soon.
The White Snow Film Festival in the Bear Country is not the largest film festival in the Bear Country, but it is the second largest film festival in the Bear Country.
Just talking about film art, the film art of the Bear Country can share the world with Europe and the United States in terms of pure art and technology. After all, one of the three major systems originated in the Bear Country.
Film editing techniques such as montage were also first invented and used by the Bear Country.
Compared with the three gold awards at domestic film festivals, the value of this award is only weaker than the top-ranked Golden Magnolia Award, but stronger than the Golden Lily and Golden Image Awards.
In the field of non-commercial films, this award has a very high status.
This news is indeed worthy of hype.
"Did he spend a lot of money? Or was he favored by the judges? Or... both?!"
Han Zhou made a three-year plan to become the best actor, but he didn't expect that good news would come before his first movie was officially released.
It seems that Wang Xiya was not joking when she had "Hello Mr. Tree" selected for seven film festivals. Tianle has made an effort.
If you are shortlisted, you have a chance to win a prize.
It does make sense to hype this news on the hot searches now.
Since Han Zhou's performance was recognized by the White Snow Film Festival in the bear country and was nominated for the Best Actor award, even if we don't expect him to be extremely talented, he must have some skills, right?
This may not necessarily attract casual moviegoers, but it is very attractive to moviegoers who have the habit of watching movies.
