Chapter 16 "Rooting" (4)

Xinye had a dream that night.

In the dream, I was kissing Xie Lansheng's slender and fair neck. They entangled and rolled, like two jungle beasts. Xie Lansheng's fingers and toes were digging at the bed sheet under his body, and his voice was high-pitched and transparent.

Xinye woke up suddenly, lying on his back on the Datong bunk, only feeling a little dazed.

He had a feeling that he hadn't felt for many years.

Sentimental, restless, steaming, with a fishy and salty smell of hormones in a certain period.That taste rushes across the layers of the past, hasty and pure, reckless and single, direct and passionate.

Xie Lansheng, who asked the crew to get up and start work, found that Xinye hadn't moved this morning, so he pulled over to call for someone, and made a face: "Xinye?"

Seeing the face in the dream suddenly, Xin Ye tried hard to gather his mind and got up from the bed: "I was haunted."

"Oh..." Xie Lansheng still felt that something was wrong with Xinye today.

…………

Today is filming the 93rd scene.

Wang Fusheng, played by Xin Ye, likes to drink and beat people the most. Caifeng and her two daughters are often beaten to the point of scarring.

Xin Ye drank a little white wine, but not much, about two taels.He had to stay awake, because he had to read words and "beat people".

His aura was too frightening, and when he first started smashing things, he scared my daughter to tears.Xinye paused, calmed down, and asked Xie Lansheng: "Hey, are you sure you want to 'unreserved'? Ouyang's daughter was frightened and cried." Ouyang saw that she was not acting. If she had this acting skill, she could go shopping Visited the three major European countries.

Xie Lansheng also hesitated.Xin Ye's acting skills are too strong, he enters and exits the play in a second, he is whoever he plays, and as long as the director calls "cut", he will immediately return to his unique temperament.At this moment, Ouyang Nannan, the husband who played Caifeng, was shocked.

Before Lan Sheng could answer, Ouyang Nannan said first, "Thank you, director, continue! I'm fine, I'll be fine after the filming is over."

Xie Lansheng was a little worried, but seeing that her daughter was very strong, she agreed to try again.

So the parties continued to work.Xie Lansheng didn't let anyone really slap her. First, he took a side shot of "a man pinching a woman's neck", and then took a few shots of "a man slaps a woman" from the back. Xiaohong and Xiaolu put gauze on her face in advance, Ouyang Nannan's long hair can be shaken with the movements.Just add the sound later.

And in the last shot of this scene, the woman raised her bloody face, and the man grabbed the woman's hair and knocked the back of her head against the wall, cursing "Don't pretend to be dead".

The five or six people present were all shocked by Xinye.Ouyang Nannan cried until she hiccupped, and the picture effect was very real.

Until the filming was over, Ouyang Nannan was still in shock.She has always been very lively, bold, and sassy, ​​otherwise, as a country girl, she would not want to make a movie, this time she was really frightened.

Several main creators squatted in the courtyard, taking turns comforting one by one, but everyone was a man, so it was hard to comfort them to the point.

Qi Da Photography first came up with an idea: "Ninny, why don't you smoke to divert your attention?" He is a typical old man who loves smoking, drinking, money and women.

"Go, go, go," Xie Lansheng couldn't take it anymore, "What kind of bad idea is this!"

"Uh," the sound engineer suggested again, "Ninny, why don't you fight back to balance the balance? Establish a dominant position?"

Xie Lansheng: "..." He was at a loss for words.

Three or four people coaxed Ouyang Nannan for a long time before she got better. She tried her best to smile and said, "It's okay... I really don't need to be so exaggerated. It's the actor who played the leading role very well." shocked.

"That's true." Xie Lansheng also nodded in approval.He felt that this was a good opportunity to change the subject, so he turned his head and asked Xin Ye, "Xin Ye, have you thought about the state you were in when you were drunk before? Then put it into the role? You talked about the way you acted in the show just now." The method is completely a drunkard." Before, Xin Ye couldn't stand still, and he couldn't stand still when he was fighting, and he even had a "big tongue".

Xinye turned his eyes and chuckled lightly: "I've never been drunk."

"Huh?" Have you ever been drunk?

"Well, but I've seen people get drunk."

"You can remember it just by seeing it and restore it to this level?" Xie Lansheng was a little surprised, "Xinye, you are really... born to be a movie king." Xie Lansheng knew that if he only needed to observe others, he could perfectly reproduce it. If you come out, then you need to understand the role, assume the role, use logic to explain the behavior, and use the inside to explain the outside. Of course, others can only hold a candle to it.If he doesn't take the Best Actor, who can take it?

Xie Lansheng suddenly remembered that Xin Ye said that although he had never seen a "Chinese laborer" when he was filming "Wandering", he was quite envious when he auditioned with the director just thinking about the illegal laborers in Chinatown.

He has always thought that he himself is talented all these years, however, after he started filming "Rooting", he realized that he was still far behind.Some shots are very beautiful and perfect in my mind, but the impact of the shot is completely different from what I thought.He still has to learn other people's shooting techniques uninterruptedly, watch more films, study more films, thoroughly understand the details, experience how the masters express a certain plot, and take notes.In addition, Xie Lansheng found that he still has many shortcomings when explaining the plot to guide the performance with his actors.Sometimes, he only felt that Ouyang Nannan's feelings were wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong and what needed to be changed, and he couldn't tell why it was wrong and why it needed to be changed.

Hey, keep learning.

This is a long road that requires him to learn all his life.

Xie Lansheng came back to his senses amidst a lot of noise, but found that Qi Yong and Cen Chen's focus was completely wrong—they were 100% unbelievable to Xin Ye's "never drunk" , Shouting: "Haven't been drunk? How is it possible!"

Xinye didn't show annoyance, and threw out his favorite rhetorical question: "Is there any good in being drunk?"

Meaning, there is no benefit in getting drunk.Hurt the stomach, hurt the body, lose control and make ugly appearances, and it is easy to say and do wrong things, and let people know what they shouldn't know.

"Of course!" Unexpectedly, Qi Yong and the others all praised, "Drunkenness is the most wonderful thing in the world!"

"Oh?" Xin Ye picked out a tone, "Tell me?"

Qi Yong really hates it: "When drunk, people will reveal their true colors and feel very relaxed... You don't have to control it anymore, you don't have to pretend anything. You can know some of the most real thoughts in your heart, the most simple Instead of just analyzing the pros and cons and calculating the pros and cons. It would be nice if people could keep doing this.”

"Yes," Cen Chen said with a little red face, "and, just because it will reveal its true colors, people can break through the previous boundaries with the strength of alcohol. For example, if you love a girl very much, but you have to carry it, don't It's easy to confess, then you two are likely to be together after drinking together! You seduce her, she seduces you, all in a daze. Even if the other party really doesn't call and wakes up, it's okay, no one remembers anyway. "

If it was a normal conversation, Xinye would definitely be sneering at these remarks, but he didn't today.Xinye squatted on the ground, his strong thigh muscles flattened the folds of his trousers, he seemed thoughtful, lowered his eyes, and repeated Qi Yong's words: "I can know some of the most real thoughts in my heart... …?"

"That's absolutely!" Qi Yong spoke Chinglish, "Absolutely!"

Xin Ye can speak authentic American voice, so naturally she dislikes it very much: "That's enough."

Feeling that the chat was a bit long today, Xie Lansheng looked at his watch, forced his way in and said, "Hey, big brothers, it's past ten o'clock. I think my daughter has recovered, shall we shoot the next scene?"

"Okay." Qi Yong felt reluctance, and took two more mouthfuls of the cigarette butt between his fingers, and then suddenly thought of a topic that could delay time, "Oh, yes, Director Xie, the gimbal we use It’s broken, I have to go to the city to repair it tomorrow.” I have to tell Director Xie about this, and at the same time I can finish my cigarettes, the best of both worlds.

Sure enough, Xie Lansheng asked, "Huh? The gimbal is broken?"

This is a big deal.The gimbal is equivalent to a stabilizer, fixedly supporting the photography equipment, so that the moving camera can capture stable and clear images, its role is beyond doubt.

Qi Yong nodded: "Today's viewing angle is fixed, so it's okay, but the gimbal will have to be repaired sooner or later."

Xie Lansheng thought for a while: "Okay, let's go to the city to repair it tomorrow. I will go too, and buy some daily necessities by the way."

"OK."

Everything went smoothly after that.

…………

Because the gimbal had to be repaired, the shooting on the second day was suspended.

Xie Lansheng left Ouyang Nannan on the set to have a good rest, and planned to take Qi Yong to Baoding City to repair the cloud platform.Xinye naturally wants to follow, after all, "seeing pandas" is his primary purpose of coming here.

The three of them traveled all the way to the city in a donkey cart and a passenger car.

They found the maintenance point and took out the gimbal to show each other.The manufacturer said it could be repaired and asked three people to pick it up overnight.

When he learned that he was going to spend the night in the city, Qi Yong immediately perked up!

He walked all over the streets and alleys, "feeling the speed of China's development", and then, after dinner, he went into a dance hall called "Golden Maple Leaf".Qi Yong said that he hadn't had fun for a long time.

One yuan per person in the dance hall.Qi Yong went straight to the corner, ordered wine and dried fruit, and narrowed his eyes to see men and women.

The disco ball is rolling wildly and colorful lights are projected down.On the stage, a few girls wore short skirts and sang while twisting, and the MTV of this song was played on the big screen behind them. On the dance floor, hundreds of men and women danced and danced, enjoying the time to the fullest.

Qi Yong took one cup after another, and soon went to dance, dancing with a beautiful woman on the dance floor while circling.Xie Lansheng was quite surprised, because Qi Yong didn't seem like a person who could dance disco at all. It seemed that he could become good at singing and dancing after staying in the United States for a few years.

On the contrary, Xinye was a little silent.

He leaned forward slightly, fingers crossed in his lap.Squinting his eyes slightly, he looked at the crowd, sniffed the hormones of men and women, and drank whiskey one by one.His fingers are slender and strong, pinching the cup, every time he takes the last sip, his neck is raised, his throat rolls, very sexy.

Xie Lansheng always felt that there was something wrong with Xinye these two days, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he leaned over and asked, "Xinye?" Xie Lansheng felt that as a director, he had the obligation to explain the director's dissatisfaction.

Xinye picked out a nasal voice: "Huh?"

"Are you all right? Don't get drunk."

Xinye looked at him when he heard the words, didn't speak, just smiled, turned around but raised his neck, and drank the wine in his hand.Red wine flowed down the throat, and the internal organs were ironed.His whole body was on fire, and the blood was boiling, flowing from the heart to all the limbs.

Obviously just bad whiskey. He also drank the 1926-year-old Macallan with a single Valerio Adami label in 60, but he never felt like this.

"Xin Ye," Xie Lansheng persuaded again, "Don't drink, take care of yourself."

"Indulge in indulgence, it's okay."

"Oh..." Since the other party said that, Xie Lansheng couldn't persuade him anymore, so he sat on the big sofa and thought about the dance floor, and his thoughts drifted to Java.

I don't know how long Qi Yong finally came back, he saw the whiskey bottle on the table at a glance, and was startled: "No way! You two drank three bottles?!"

"No," Xie Lansheng smiled wryly, "Xin Ye drank it all by himself."

"..." Even more terrifying.

Xin Ye seemed to be drunk or not, leaning on the back of the sofa, crossing his fingers, crossing his long legs, and looked at Qi Yong with a half-smile.

Qi Yong had a headache, and felt that Xinye was like a goblin who seduced Tang Seng, and said, "It's alright, alright, I'll pay the bill."

Xie Lansheng agreed, but after thinking about it, he said uneasy: "By the way, let's pay for ourselves, and don't take the account of the crew." Rope up.

Qi Yong said impatiently: "I know, I know."

Patting Qi Yong on the generous back and sending him to the front desk to check out, Xie Lansheng came back again, thinking that there was obviously something wrong with Xinye's appearance, but he could only sigh softly: "Xinye, I told you that you would be drunk... ...Let's go, go back to the guest house to rest, you have to continue working tomorrow."

While speaking, Xie Lansheng squatted down on the edge of the round table, put his hands on his knees: "Come on, come up, I will carry you back to the guest house."

After a few seconds, Xin Ye got up and pushed Xie Lansheng's back: "Come on... what can you move on your back?"

Xie Lansheng: "..."

No, although he was born in 1970 and lacks nutrition, he is a Beijinger after all, and he has grown to 1 meters. It can't compare with Xinye's 76, but it is more than enough for ordinary people. He is considered tall. Yes, he can move a lot.

Xie Lansheng had just straightened up, and before he had time to refute, he found that his waist was being hugged from behind, and at this moment the other's chest muscles were firmly against his back.

Xinye clasped his hands together, pulled Xie Lansheng into his arms, and chuckled lightly like self-deprecating: "Qi Yong and the others are right, alcohol is indeed a good thing."

Xie Lansheng was stunned: "Ah???" What are you talking about?Confused?

Xinye was half-drunk, half-awake, only felt that he was in the clouds, sniffing the man's hair, thinking, he really knew some of the most real thoughts in his heart.

When paralyzed by alcohol.

It is also very simple to say.

He wants him.

There are no such people.

He wanted to hug him, kiss him, penetrate him.

Let him sing softly, shout loudly, reach the peak in his arms, and almost go crazy with him.

The author has something to say:

The actor will also have a career line, but basically in the second half, not acting...
