Lin Zixuan returned home, where he was filming.

The city of Beijing has been snowing heavily these two days. Lin Xiaoling and we were filming. We were wearing cameras in the yard to take pictures of the snow scene.

This is a very slow-paced movie, with fragmented plots and not very continuous. Each season has to be filmed for more than half a month. In winter, you can't miss the snow scene.

The snow in the capital is usually very thick, and it is spread on the ground like a carpet. You can hear the sound when you walk up.

The creaking sound is the sound of winter in Beijing. You must not miss this detail when shooting winter scenes.

Under the eaves, Zheng Xiulian was chatting with an old lady named Jin Yaqin, who was a drama actor.

Jin Yaqin is in her seventies and has long retired from the Beijing Theater. She occasionally plays roles in film and television dramas. Although these old actors are not the protagonists, they often add a lot of highlights to a drama.

The old actors are like the Dinghai Sword in the crew.

They have rich performance experience and can lead and guide young actors into performance. At their age, acting is more of a love, rather than a lot of fame and fortune.

This is true for Jin Yaqin. She was moved after reading the scripts of both of us and thought it was a good book.

In fact, the characters in the play are different from her personality.

Jin Yaqin has a very good personality. She is the kind of warm-hearted old lady who loves fun and socializes. She can tell anyone. However, the old lady among us is a stubborn temper, introverted, and unwilling to communicate with others.

Even so, Jin Yaqin still wanted to play this role, mainly because she liked the script to move people with emotions and be close to life.

Jin Yaqin thought about this character. She has been acting in dramas for so many years and has also acted in TV series. She is very familiar with her performance, but this kind of character with a large contrast is not easy to grasp.

For this reason, Jin Yaqin contacted Lin Xiaoling and needed more information about the old lady in the play.

Lin Xiaoling gave Jin Yaqin the biography she wrote for the characters in the play. She could roughly understand what this old lady should look like and could find similar prototypes in her daily life.

The two of them communicated for more than half a month, and Jin Yaqin figured out the role before she agreed. If she felt that the role was not good, she would not agree. This was a serious and responsible attitude.

This is how old actors are. If they are OK, they are OK. If they are not OK, they will not be fooled.

Their original agreement was 30,000 yuan, which is considered low in the current film and television industry. Generally, slightly famous actors need more than 50,000 yuan to play the protagonist of a movie.

Jin Yaqin heard that no one in the crew received salary, and Xu Jinglei was the same, so she took the initiative to lower her salary and only received half of it.

Jung Soo-ryn was not willing to let a group of people make a fuss at home, but since they met Kim Yaqin, they got along well and chatted together when they were not filming.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan went to work. She was taking care of the children at home and had no one to chat. Now the house became lively.

Lin Xiaoling is a film director for the first time. She is very serious and takes great care and follows the shooting plan.

After taking pictures of the snow scene, the filming officially started.

Xu Jinglei pushed the bicycle into the door, put the bicycle under the eaves, and wanted to use a kettle to boil water, but found that due to heavy snow, the tap in the yard was frozen.

She began to argue with the old lady, but there was no result, so she had to use hot water to burn the faucet.

This is just a small thing. It is often encountered in life, and it can reflect the personalities of the old lady and the girl. Both of them are a bit stubborn, and when they meet, they are pointed at the tip of the head.

The key point is the quarrel between the two. The old lady usually looks unenergized and her voice becomes louder when she quarrels. For her, quarrel is also a way of communication.

After filming this part, everyone will finish work.

It is not easy to film in a cold weather, but these students from the film academy are very enthusiastic and are not afraid of hardships.

Zheng Xiulian prepared the meal and invited Jin Yaqin and Xu Jinglei to have dinner at home. The students were young and could eat boxed lunches. They could do whatever they wanted, but the old lady couldn't do it.

Xu Jinglei also enjoys this kind of treatment because she is an actor.

In Zheng Xiu Lian's concept, actors are more important than those behind the scenes. They are stars and cannot treat other girls badly.

While having dinner, Lin Zixuan learned about the shooting progress of the Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon. During this period, he was busy with the release of the show and did not pay attention to the news about Zhang Jizhong.

This is not to say that he ignores the truth. The crew of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has a producer from Good Dream Company, responsible for handling related matters.

Zhang Jizhong is quite capable. There are famous actors like Director Chen and Zhang Guoli in the crew. He still doesn't care. He can shoot whatever he wants. This is the benefit of over-production. He won't be timid just because he meets big stars.

If it is a normal director, you may have some concerns and then look back.

The director is the core of the crew, and everyone has to listen to him.

Xu Jinglei is cheerful than before, and is not as thin as before. She has glorious eyes and has become much more confident.

She plays this foreign girl who learns to draw and looks pretty good. She is not showing any weakness when she quarrels. She is somewhat similar to Yu Jiaolong in the Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon.

Compared to the role of the old lady, this girl from another place has a much simpler background. Being able to learn painting shows that her family is in good condition. She has a boyfriend and a younger brother, and her relationship with her boyfriend is not very good.

For actors, such roles do not have much room to play.

If the performance is not good, it can only be a foil for the old lady. How to perform the girl’s inner feelings is the key to success.

"It's time to eat, it's not work. Why do you ask so much? Don't scare Xiao Xu." Zheng Xiulian said unhappily.

Lin Zixuan stopped talking at once, and he still had to listen to Zheng Xiulian's words.

Xu Jinglei looked at Lin Zixuan's appearance and couldn't help but laugh. In her mind, Lin Zixuan was originally a great writer, but at this time she was like an ordinary person.

Meanwhile, Jia Zhangke is filming his first short film.

Their conditions were not that good. In the cold capital, several people were carrying shooting equipment and walking on the streets.

What he wants to photograph is the life of the protagonist Wang Xiaoshan in the capital. The down-and-out Wang Xiaoshan walked through the streets and alleys of the capital. While walking, the camera recorded the capital at this moment.

The crowded crowds on the streets, the white air coming out of the snack stalls, the popular songs coming out of the shops, the girls standing in front of the hair salon, and the brief greetings and jokes between migrant workers.

This is also a kind of life.

Jia Zhangke is obsessed with the attention to this kind of ordinary life. He stares at life through the camera lens. He has a feeling that when you stare at life, life is also staring at you. To be continued.
