Chapter 6 Jiang Wen and Mr. Ge
When Chen An arrived the next day, he still wanted to meet Uncle Ge.
Who knew that most of the crew members had already gone there early and he was the last group to go there.
Teacher Mu had given notice in advance, so Chen An also joined the group.
We took the train to the northwest together.
I met the producer when I arrived and signed a contract for three thousand yuan.
The person who was signed was a photographer, but Chen An estimated that he would only do odd jobs and it would be impossible for him to take part in the action.
Then I went to the filming location, near the Yellow River, with a group of people.
The Great Wall at the beginning has been filmed, and now we are filming the Yellow River section, and finally the Qin Palace.
The crew set up their location not far from Hukou Waterfall. The producer was powerful, so the crew rented a place for them.
As soon as Chen An entered the crew, he saw several leading actors sitting together and chatting. Jiang Wen, who was wearing a black crown, Ge Da Ye, who was wearing plain clothes with words engraved on his face, and director Zhou Xiaowen were talking, while Xu Qian, who was next to them, was silently reading the script.
Seeing that most people had arrived, the director stopped chatting and prepared to start filming.
Chen An also took the initiative to help lay the camera track and debug and check the camera.
Several main actors are in place, and many extras are wearing armor and standing in their respective positions.
First, there is a long-range shot, covering the entire scenery.
Then take a picture of everyone present. Except for the burning bonfire and Mr. Ge playing the piano, all the contrast objects are still.
The camera then continued to rise, overlooking the crowd, and Chen An was learning beside them.
The filming continued, and Chen An felt really good watching the two movie kings acting together.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart: "It's so fucking satisfying. If my short film had this kind of big shot, it would mean Venice has no credibility if it doesn't win the Golden Lion Award for Short Film!"
The Qin Shi Huang played by Jiang Wen is also quite fitting in terms of facial features.
However, Chen An always felt that it was different from his previous "Red Sorghum" and "Furong Town". It was a bit like the Qin Shihuang version of Jiang Wen. Although Jiang Wen was in the back, his proportion was larger than that in the front, but it did not affect the viewing experience.
"Click~"
Suddenly the director interrupted the performance.
"Ge You, I feel like you're still a little awkward, relax a little."
"Okay director, this is my first time acting in a costume drama, I'm not used to it yet, I'll adjust first."
"No problem, just adjust yourself before you start."
The filming stopped temporarily, and the director asked Ge Da Ge to adjust his condition first.
Jiang Wen was too lazy to get up, so he just sat on the ground and started chatting with Xu Qian next to him.
"You said that Ge You has won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival, but he is stumped by this ancient costume."
"This is not a problem at all. At most, it's just a stumbling block. This is just the beginning."
"."
Chen An, who was standing next to the camera, just listened to their conversation silently.
I found that the scene looked different from what I saw in the movie in my previous life.
In the movie, Xu Qian's face has a hint of baby fat, but she doesn't look like that on the scene. It's just right, so smooth and tight!
"The kid is about to drool."
Hearing Jiang Wen's voice, Chen An immediately wiped his mouth with his hand and found that he had been fooled.
"Hahahaha, I didn't say anything to you, it just jumped out on its own."
"Why, I'm so beautiful, can't I let people look at me, little brother?"
Xu Qianxiu rolled her eyes at Jiang Wen and said to Chen An.
Chen An was a little embarrassed and said sheepishly: "It's my first time seeing a live star. I'm a little excited."
"Why, have you ever seen someone die?"
"I would like to see him, but I can't."
"You're a good chatterbox, pretty interesting. Do you have a cigarette? Lend me one. I'm too lazy to get one."
Seeing that they were getting along well, Jiang Wen didn't hesitate to ask Chen An to borrow a cigarette.
Chen An took out a cigarette and lit it for him.
"Huh~ You don't look that old, how did you get into the group?"
"It was my freshman year break, and my teacher recommended me here."
Chen An also lit one and started chatting with him.
"Smoke less, each of you has one cigarette, one blows here, one blows there, and all the cigarettes are coming to me." The two of them smoked together, not far from each other, and Xu Qian was unlucky because she was caught in the middle.
"Okay, okay, I'll finish the lottery soon. Are you a freshman majoring in photography at Beijing Film Academy?"
"Yes, Teacher Mu recommended me here." Chen An put out his cigarette, nodded and said.
Jiang Wen put out his cigarette and didn't ask any more questions, but Xu Qian suddenly asked curiously, "Are you the freshman in the photography department who took over the director's job and sent a short film to Venice?"
"Yes, has this matter spread so widely?"
"Of course. After all, I'm your senior, so it's not surprising that I don't know this."
Jiang Wen, who heard the conversation between the two, suddenly became interested and asked with a rough face, "What's the matter? Let me hear it?"
Chen An has nothing to hide, and this is not shameful.
So I told them both about it, and Xu Qian, who was curious, listened with great interest. This contained many more details than what she had heard from other places.
Jiang Wen also gave a thumbs up with admiration: "Awesome! You are so brave, and you even asked the school to send you to Venice. It seems that the film you took is pretty good. I will go to see the film you took when I go back. What is it called?"
"Carrying the Burden, I just sent it over, I don't know if it will be selected."
"Okay, I'll go take a look then."
After chatting for a while, Uncle Ge came back after he had adjusted himself.
Sit back in front of the guqin and start the performance.
This scene is not long and mainly focuses on the three main actors. After Ge Da Ge adjusted himself, he got through it quickly.
After the filming was finished, it was almost dusk, just in time for the next scene.
Chen An stood behind the camera, with yellow sand flying all over the sky in front of the lens.
Qin Shihuang pulled Gao Jianli to the side of the carriage and asked him to get in.
"My king, I dare not."
"I have granted your permission, so why should I not dare?"
'You'll drop me off halfway.'
"That wasn't thrown by me."
The two of them were acting to each other, while Zhao Gao and Li Si beside them looked envious.
Chen An really felt like he was dreaming of returning to Goose City.
Zhang Mazi, Master Tang is indeed your true love!
Chen An behind the camera tried hard to hold back his laughter, feeling that these lines must have been written by Jiang Wen.
After we finished filming the assassination, it started to get dark.
The crew started to wrap up their work and move to another location to shoot the night scene.
Chen An was also helping to pack up.
Then follow the main force to the next location.
There happens to be a night scene, so I guess I’ll have to work overtime tonight.
After having a meal with the crew, Chen An came to an ancient city wall.
There is a simple house built next to it.
After Chen An and his group finished setting up the equipment, they started filming.
This scene is not long.
But this time the camera moves from high to low.
First, we shot a portion of the large scene, including the scenes of the people being captured and executed and the houses on fire.
Finally, it moved down and stopped at a gambling game between Zhao Gao, Hu Hai and a dwarf.
Instantly contrast the villagers’ misery with the trio’s lighthearted entertainment!
The cannibalistic feudal society is vividly displayed in an instant!
Since he couldn't use the shooting skills, Chen An just watched and learned from the side.
Although the goal is to be a director, photography is also very important.
Although the original owner's dream was to be a photographer for Zhang Yimou, Chen An wanted Zhang Yimou to be his photographer. Of course, he only dared to think about it, as it was not illegal anyway.
After finishing this segment, we can say that we have called it a day.
Chen An was very tired after carrying the equipment up and down all day, so he returned to the hotel managed by the crew.
After taking a shower, I planned to go straight to bed to relieve the fatigue of the day.
Jiang Wen came over, with a cigarette in his mouth and some food and wine in his hands. What’s more important is that there was a bald man following him!
"Uncle Ge! Ugh! You're wrong, Mr. Ge."
Before, when they were acting, it was not easy for a little Kara-mi like himself to run over and talk, but now when he saw Uncle Ge who had just got off work, Chen An was a little excited and called out his nickname for the future.
Because no matter in the previous life or this life, Chen An is considered a fan of Ge You.
Uncle Ge touched his bald head helplessly and said, "Do I really look that old?"
