Chapter 337 Preparations
The preparations for "Spring in a Small Town" are not complicated.
There are only five actors in the whole film, and everyone gathered together to talk about their views on the role.
Tian Zhuoxing used to like to use non-professional actors when filming movies. He felt that it was real, but there was no way to use non-professional actors in this drama. Not only did they use actors, but also excellent actors.
Because there are a lot of inner dramas in it.
The characters in "Spring in Small Town" are tight inside and loose outside. Where is the relationship between the three people? Everyone has to be tight in their hearts. There must be no mistakes and be discovered by others.
I feel so nervous, but I still have to relax on the surface, pretending to be nothing.
This relaxation includes the relaxation of the body and the relaxation of the expression. It expresses inner tension through external relaxation, and also allows the audience to feel that tension. This state is not something that ordinary actors can grasp.
Take a plot in the play as an example.
Zhou Yuwen and Zhang Zhichen went out for a date and chatting. When they came back, they were afraid that Dai Liyan would find out. Zhang Zhichen went to Dai Liyan's room to borrow sleeping pills, which was to show their innocence and I did not go out.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuwen also came to Dai Liyan's room and borrowed sleeping pills on the grounds that she could not sleep, with the same purpose as Zhang Zhichen.
At this time, the three of them were very nervous inside, and they were still talking casually on the surface.
This is the tension of the plot. It seems calm, but in fact it is undercurrent.
Actors need to reach this high-level performance state, and each expresses their inner emotions through a tremolo in a sentence or a swinging movement.
Another point is that women in that era had to wear cheongsams in their lives. Unlike now, wearing cheongsams is for the sake of a show. They only wear them on specific occasions, and they will not be said to wear them every day.
Actors should be used to wearing cheongsams. What is the gait for wearing cheongsams in life? You can't be like walking on a catwalk.
At that time, people had a slow pace of life, so they could not walk fast, their moods were different, and their walking postures were also different. Yu Feihong and Xu Jinglei had to conduct this training.
Especially Yu Feihong, he is the real protagonist of this drama.
Tian Jingshi found many old movies from the 1934s from the Beijing Film Studio, allowing her to think about the lifestyle of women in the movies and understand the words and behaviors of women in that era.
Make yourself feel like you are living in that era, rather than a modern person wearing a cheongsam.
Daoming Chen and Wang Zhiwen don’t need to worry too much. It’s mainly a matter of the sense of the times. The audience cannot get out of the play when they see them, and directly think of other characters.
This requires the actor's own adjustment and the cooperation of the makeup artist.
In a sense, this situation will not happen if you use non-professional actors. If the audience does not recognize them, it will be easy to substitute them.
Although the supporting roles Zhang Guoli and Xu Jinglei don’t have many roles, they also play their own roles.
Everyone was quite surprised that Tian Jingshi was directing this drama. Even the Beijing Film Studio would not allow him to direct it himself. After all, it is a state-owned enterprise, so it is not good to spread.
Private film and television companies are more free and do not have so many rules and regulations.
The crew’s argument to the outside world is that the director is Zheng Dongtian, Tian Jingzhang is the producer, and Lin Xiaoling is the deputy director.
In fact, Zheng Dongtian only gave his own opinions and was not responsible for specific work. The main creators of the crew had differences in some aspects, such as whether to shoot with black and white film or color film.
Up to now, mainstream movies are almost always shot with color film, and black and white glue has long since left the market.
Only certain films with unique or nostalgic subjects will use black and white film.
Black and white film has a unique charm. In the film "Spring in a Small Town", black and white film is more contemporary and can also highlight the gloomy mood of the characters in the play.
It is easier to be accepted by the audience by using colored films, and the light and shadows produced are more effective.
Finally, Tianshi decided to use color film to show the character's heart with changes in light. He was not sure about using black and white film to shoot, and had never tried it before.
After the symposium, the field went to the south to see the outdoor scene.
Before this, Lin Zixuan asked someone to inquire about the old city wall near Sucheng in the south. It was easy to find a dilapidated house, but the furniture in the house was difficult to find, so old items were needed.
Lin Zixuan found Ma Weidu and wanted to make a movie with a set of furniture and supplies from a large family in the south before the liberation of the liberation.
Although Ma Weidu was involved in the antique circle in the capital, he also knew some collectors from the south, and the furniture styles in the north and south were different.
In the video, the Dai family used to be a scholarly family and was once rich. The things at home should be decent and not do anything.
Art films need to pay attention to details. The audience may not care much when watching them, but people can't help but think that even a comb for a woman's hair must be in the style of that era.
What Lin Zixuan needs to do is to restore the style of the time as much as possible.
After Ma Weidu became famous for hosting programs on Beijing TV, he planned to build a folk museum.
This is a matter of the cultural department. Lin Zixuan helped him to help him talk and then approved his museum, which was called Guanfu Classical Art Museum.
At this time, the craze for folk museums had just begun, and the superior departments were cautious about this.
Who knows if the collection you made is the original, and the cultural department cannot send experts to identify it one by one. What if you cheat money under the guise of a museum or even resell cultural relics?
Inadequate supervision is the main problem.
In this regard, Ma Weidu is still honest. He mainly wanted to become famous and gain recognition in the circle. He never thought of reselling cultural relics. Unlike some places, he found some fake antique exhibitions to collect tickets.
With the rise of the collection boom, this industry is becoming more and more chaotic, and methods of counterfeiting are emerging one after another.
"Mr. Lin, don't worry, within three months, I will collect a whole set of old items for you and find someone to place them for you. It will definitely not be a mistake." Ma Weitu promised.
In the past, there were some special attentions to the placement of furniture in the room, but it would not work if the location was wrong.
"Then I'm sorry, Brother Ma." Lin Zixuan thanked.
"What's the problem with this? It's just a matter of convenience." Ma Weidu said indifferently, "My museum will open in January next year, and Mr. Lin must come to enjoy the scenery at that time."
Ma Weidu's Guanfu Museum will officially open an exhibition in January next year. It is his private collection over the years, mainly ceramics, ancient furniture, and jade artifacts.
Lin Zixuan has seen it and there are thousands of pieces. The value is hard to say now, and it will definitely skyrocket in the future.
Everyone makes a living by their ability and cannot be envious.
Lin Zixuan was wondering whether to talk to Ma Weidu, and started a treasure appraisal program and ran around major cities across the country. He not only saw antiques and cultural relics from all over the country, but also led to a collection boom.
The most important thing is to increase fame, which is what Ma Weidu is most willing to do.
However, this program is relatively large in scale, so you need to plan it carefully so that Mu Shanshan's company can plan and operate it. (To be continued.)
