Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"What a terrible, long day."

At night, Jia Lin dragged her heavy body back home, opened the door and came in. She collapsed on the bed like a puddle of mud.

The so-called home is actually a ridiculously small private house she rented.

It is less than ten square meters in total and is located in a suburb within a suburb, next to a vegetable market and a smelly ditch.

There is no toilet in the room, and if there is a bed and a small table for eating, there is no place to stand.

The mottled skin on the wall looked like an old piece of fluffed rice paper under the dim light of the light bulb.

Jia Lin's eyes were empty, and her brain gradually stopped functioning.

It seems that if too many bad things happen, the flow of time will slow down in perception, and Jia Lin feels that today has been extremely long.

What was even worse was that she was hungry again.

Alas, why do fat people always get hungry so easily?

She put her fleshy hands on the swimming ring that protruded from her belly and rubbed it.

Can you burn the fat on your belly automatically?

Why is life always so difficult?

Suddenly feeling tired, Jia Lin wanted to cry, but she had no energy.

I remember when I first received the audition notice, it felt like spring had arrived all of a sudden.

Opportunity has come!

At that time, Jia Lin was so happy that she almost jumped up.

She remembers the audition requirements clearly.

The heroine's best friend, Lingling, is between the ages of 20 and 35. She is required to have a slightly plump figure, a lively and cheerful personality, and her actions should look happy.

The supporting actress is called Lingling, and she is also called Jia Lin.

She truly feels that this role was created just for her.

Jia Lin thought that every feature was perfect for this role. When she received the audition notice, she felt a little happy.

Privately, I have been preparing for this audition for a long time, including the personality, habits and behavior patterns of this inconspicuous character.

How to perform to get approval from the audition teacher, and how to make the audience feel more joyful.

Then, in order to prevent accidents during the audition, I deliberately didn't eat much today and only ate a potato to cushion my stomach.

Who would have thought that the audition failed due to a ridiculous loud fart. At that time, she really wanted to dig a crack in the ground and get in immediately, disappearing from the world.

Thinking of the handsome guy's expression of wanting to laugh but holding back, Jia Lin felt even more depressed.

Handsome guy, it’s useless to believe in yourself. I’ve been waiting for so many years and I haven’t seen a miracle happen?

I hope you can pass the audition.

Depressed as she was, she still needed to eat. She was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore. She got up and took out the remaining noodles and the cabbage that she had picked up from the vegetable market last night on the small dining table covered by the table cover.

Boil water, put the noodles and cabbage directly into the pot, and then add some seasonings to the pot after they are cooked.

Oh, there’s some Lao Gan Ma on the table, that’s great. Let’s have a delicious ramen dinner to fill our stomachs first!

"I'm looking up, above the moon~

How many dreams are flying freely! "

After finally finishing the work and getting ready to start, the phone rang.

"Hello, hello, I'm Jia Lin, who are you?"

In order to save trouble, she simply ate the noodles with the pot in hand. It was a bit hot at first. Jia Ling originally wanted to eat while answering the phone, but it was difficult to eat when she touched her lips several times. She had no choice but to put it down and refused to give in. She took a few blows with her chopsticks. Mouth, hoping to cool down quickly.

At this moment, I heard a voice coming from the mobile phone:

"Jia Lin, right? You passed the audition for the "Want to Meet You" crew today. The package price is 10,000. The specific shooting time will be notified to you when the time comes..."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I seem to be hallucinating from hunger, could you please say it again?"

Jia Lin was stunned, her chopsticks stopped in front of her mouth, and she fell into a daze.

The person on the other end of the phone patiently said again:

"That's the right number. Are you Jia Lin? You are the one Teacher Zhou said he wanted.

The crew of "Want to Meet You", you passed the audition, the package price is 10,000, the specific shooting time will be notified when the time comes... Do you have any other questions? "

"No problem, no problem, I..."

Jia Linling seemed to want to ask more questions, but her mind went blank and she didn't know what to say.

Toot toot!

The phone was hung up over there.

Snap!

The chopsticks in Jia Lin's hand also fell on the table along with the noodles.

Sitting blankly in front of the table, the steam from the hot noodle soup blurred her big face.

After all, she didn't eat the noodles, but Jia Lin had forgotten her hunger and pinched her fleshy arm hard.

hiss!

pain!

That really hurts!

When Jia Lin came back to her senses, she woke up from the pain.

Then his mind stopped functioning as he was struck by the surprise, and he was so happy that he almost fainted.

At this time, Jia Lin had already endured severe beatings from society. Her situation could not be said to be satisfactory, but it could also be said that she was about to be unable to survive.

I came to the capital from a small place, and after graduating from university, I gloriously became a member of the Beipiao clan. I moved from the university dormitory to this private house.

In addition to the scattered money earned from working, daily living expenses mainly depend on my sister's meager salary.

My sister who works in a small city earns 800 yuan a month, and she sends 500 yuan to me. She refuses to let my sister endure hardships in the capital at all costs, and I only keep 300 yuan for living expenses.

Coming from a small place, she may have thought that the money was a lot, but in fact it was barely enough to pay the rent.

It is difficult for girls to take the path of cross talk.

Living in the capital is even more difficult. Jia Lin will go to the crew to take roles in order to make a living, but she has been unlucky recently and has not received any jobs. She keeps getting rejected in auditions.

On the contrary, it cost a lot of money to print resume photos.

This made her already poor life even worse.

The funds ran out a few days ago. In order to survive, Jia Lin even had to sell her treasured Walkman.

This Walkman was a brand-name product, but it was a college gift from her sister, and she listened to it every night.

I exchanged money to buy noodles, potatoes and rotten cabbage to fill my stomach.

That packet of noodles on the table was her last supper.

Jia Lin dropped her chopsticks and stood up. She stood for a long time like a clay sculpture and then jumped on the spot several times. She was as happy as a child weighing more than 200 kilograms, and the ground made a pounding sound under her feet.

After a while, her excitement eased slightly. She patted her broad and generous chest and took a few deep breaths. What she wanted to do most at this time was not eat noodles.

She picked up her phone and wanted to share the good news with those closest to her.

It's a pity that my mother can no longer hear the good news.

Thinking of her mother, Jia Lin's nose felt inexplicably sore.

Mom will be very happy in heaven when she knows that I succeeded in the audition and made such a huge amount of money, right?

When the call was connected, she heard her sister's familiar voice. Jia Lin could no longer suppress her trembling voice and cried:

"Sister, I made money, are you okay?"

……………………

In late October, the filming of "Want to Meet You" is in progress.

The first scene shot today is Zeng Li in the future timeline in a cafe.

"Wait a minute, Sister Li."

Just as the filming was about to start, Zhou Yutang, who was sitting behind the monitor with Teacher Xue as the assistant director, frowned and felt something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

Zeng Li looked over with puzzled eyes.

Zhou Yutang touched her earlobe and explained: "Sister Li, do you wear earrings? Try wearing earrings?"

"Because of this scene, the feeling I want is to highlight the mature and intellectual state of 27-year-old Huang Yuxuan as much as possible, so that it can be in sharp contrast with Chen Yunru in the past."

"Huh? I didn't wear any earrings."

Zeng Li glanced at Zhou Yutang, slightly embarrassed.

She has no assistant and is naturally beautiful. She doesn’t even like makeup when filming, so she never thought she would use it for filming.

"Hold on."

Zhou Yutang ran out directly and picked out several irregular-shaped but quite design earrings in the nearest jewelry store. He used them interchangeably in several different scenes and asked the makeup artist to put them on Zeng Li. As expected, she became more intellectual. .

Even Zeng Li himself was a little surprised. He looked in the mirror and said, "Yu Tang, you have good taste and the styles you chose are pretty good-looking."

"Sister Li likes it, so I'll give it to you. It doesn't cost much anyway." Zhou Yutang said generously.

"Yu Tang, that's good. He has the talent to be a director."

Teacher Xue's eyes lit up and he patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder to express his approval.

Many times, when the audience watches a classic drama, they will only intuitively think it is good-looking. In fact, those directors create a whole story by stacking countless inconspicuous details.

In the drama "Want to See You", the performance of the heroine is particularly important, especially Chen Yunru, who has low self-esteem and is sensitive, and Huang Yuxuan, who is cheerful and generous. The two obviously look the same but have completely opposite temperaments, creating a strong impact.

"Ah Tang, you know a lot about aesthetics."

Feng Boyuan also praised Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang said modestly: "I only know a little bit, and I still need to learn more from Teacher Xue and Brother Bo."

To be honest, he always felt that the costumes and styles of modern dramas from this period were a bit tacky.

So after communicating with the costume designer and makeup artist, I made some changes.

First of all, the school uniforms for boys when they were students were mainly white shirts with suit pants, and in some cases with ties. Then for girls, they were white shirts with knee-length skirts. Outside of school, they had different configurations, mainly filled with a youthful atmosphere.

In addition, the costumes used in several scenes in the future timeline are also directly customized by the clothing factory at Zhou Yutang's suggestion.

The male protagonist wears a long dark windbreaker + black-framed flat glasses + nine-point pants. With Yu Tang's appearance and figure last week, he is like a walking clothes rack.

Even the female crew members' eyes were shining brightly when they saw it, and they were thinking about whether they should go back and do something to their men.

Zeng Li mainly wears light-colored windbreakers, waisted chiffon shirts, knitted sweaters and denim skirts, etc., which gives her a fashionable working girl style.

The quality of clothing must be excellent. After all, millions have been invested, so there is no need to save this little money.

After this small episode, filming continued.

Huang Yuxuan in 2019 is an intellectual working girl. However, under her usual cheerful and generous attitude, there is a sadness that cannot be described in words.

She often misses her boyfriend Wang Chuansheng who died in a plane crash, and she always feels that he has not left her because she still feels the presence of him.

Until she received an old Walkman and a box of Five Hundred tapes.

Scene change.

On the bus.

Huang Yuxuan looked out the window and saw a familiar shadow walking by the roadside, and her eyes widened instantly.

That was the man she loved deeply. He had obviously passed away, but he reappeared in her world!

Even if time flies by, I only love one person with all my heart and soul.

Regardless of the future or the past, I just want to see you.

Li Ziwei, played by Zhou Yutang, looked back, his eyes full of tenderness and nostalgia.

Get that infatuated feeling just right.

From being a high-spirited young man to having slightly white temples, he is still silently guarding Huang Yuxuan.

The previous shot went smoothly.

Zeng Li understood the script thoroughly, as if she were the real workplace girl Huang Yuxuan who exudes a touch of sadness, clearly missing her but forcing herself to live a strong life alone.

The emotion she performed was very moving.

The next scene was shot in which Li Ziwei, who traveled to the future, was delivering a cake to Huang Yuxuan. The two caught a glimpse when the elevator door closed, but missed it.

Teacher Zhang Songwen, who plays the uncle in this play and is the performance director, stopped filming after communicating with Director Xue.

"Stop, Yu Tang, there's something wrong with your expression here."

As soon as Teacher Zhang Songwen shouted, Zhou Yutang ran over and listened humbly: "You have to pay attention, this is a future timeline that has not changed the past, so in the future Li Ziwei woke up with an injured leg after being injured in a car accident. Do you have Have you ever seen a lame walking? It’s not as simple as one deep and one shallow.”

"Teacher Songwen, how should I act?"

Zhou Yutang, who was wearing a windbreaker, also realized his problem.

I just came here to dress cool and cool, but I forgot to put some details in place.

"Before I came to the crew, I studied this character. Because of the sequelae of a car accident, I specially observed the way this type of people walk. I found that they often walk with the uninjured foot as the main supporting foot, and then the other foot. My feet are very weak, let me show you again."

Then Teacher Zhang Songwen went through it on the spot according to the way he understood.

Absolutely.

Teacher Zhang Songwen's acting skills are amazing.

If Zhou Yutang is trying hard to play a person with an injured right leg, then Zhang Songwen is not acting.

It was natural for him to become lame.

Both the actors and crew, including the leading actors Zhou Yutang and Zeng Li, were all amazed and admired.

"Teacher Song Wen's performance was wonderful. The mainland is really like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Even Feng Boyuan, a native of Xiangjiang, couldn't help but admire.

"Song Wen is a famous drama geek in our film school."

Teacher Xue was also very satisfied and nodded.

He simply brought this state to life, as if he really had an injury to his right leg that made it difficult to walk.

Zhou Yutang communicated with him for a while, thought about it a little, and tried it a few more times. The effect was much better, and he was even more impressed.

For this drama, he wrote a character biography of tens of thousands of words, including some specific behaviors of the leading actor Li Ziwei.

However, there are some things that are difficult to understand without the accumulation of foundation and careful observation of life.

In other words, even if Zhou Yutang knew Li Ziwei's walking habits, without teacher Zhang Songwen's guidance, it would be difficult for him to accurately present them in the right way.

That’s the role of a performance coach.

Help directors and actors adjust the desired shooting effect to the best.
