As the saying goes: If you have money, be willful!

For example, when filming a scene on a train, the crew usually rents a car or takes a car in the shed, but Sunzhou requires that the train must be driven.

In this way, the actors, crew members, and more than 20 extras set off from Kunming Station and then returned to Kunming at night. Tai team was very excited, and the cost of the day was not a small amount, including the train rent.

For example, there was a scene where Zhou Yu walked in the carriage. He asked Gong Li to walk whatever he wanted. The camera didn't stop and just drove it, asking Gong Li to walk again and again.

Finally, even Gong Li exclaimed: "Why don't you turn off the phone? How much is it waste of film!"

But Sun Zhou shrugged, looking like he was very worthy of beating, and said, "I just want to capture your most beautiful side."

Perhaps any director who has some money likes to shoot long shots one by one, because they are rich and don’t be afraid of wasting film. As for Zhu Wen, who filmed "Seafood", this guy has no experience in getting into a sedan chair, so when the funds are so tight, the actors need to rehearse over and over again in advance, and then they can start the official real shots when they reach the best state.

It doesn’t matter to Sunzhou. Even if there are many extras participating in the chaotic carriage, it is easy to make mistakes. He is still very willful. With a wave of his hand, he says “Photo!”

"I just imitate Qing, and the fine brushwork is to make you look so delicate."

Zhou Yu went to Chongyang to see Chen Qing, and this time he brought an exquisite porcelain vase. Taking advantage of her chance to go to the bathroom, Zhang Qiang brought the vase over and asked an old man in the same car to take a look.

The old man who played the old man was the retired university professor in the extra. The old man really knew porcelain and so he got a role with lines. The old man with reading glasses carefully studied the vase in his hand and came to this conclusion.

"Oh, that's really a good thing." Wang Dalun sat opposite the old man and said.

Then he asked curiously: "Hey, sir, do you understand this. Do you think this was painted by that woman?"

The train conductor who had been watching them couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran over and took the vase in his hand.

Wang Dalun still didn't give up and asked the train conductor: "Old man, is this painted by that woman?"

"Don't move other people's things, don't you know this?" Li Zhixiong, the actor who played the conductor, said with a straight face.

At this time, the old professor cooperated very well. Although he turned his back to the camera, he still made a move that looked at Li Zhixiong in surprise.

"Tsk!" Wang Dalun waved his head, looked misunderstood, stood up and followed Li Zhixiong, and explained: "You are wronged. I have been watching here for a long time, just because I am afraid that others will fall for him!"

At this time, Gong Li came into the mirror from the door of the carriage. She wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and then looked down to see if her clothes were sorted out. Wang Dalun was still chasing Li Zhixiong and asked relentlessly: "Hey, old man, did she draw it?"

Li Zhixiong ignored him, put Zhou Yu's vase, and shouted at Gong Li who was walking over: "Zhou Yu!"

"Why!"

I often come and go, and Zhou Yu and the conductor have already met each other.

"Old acquaintance, Veterinary Zhang!"

Li Zhixiong introduced to the two.

"Hello!" Gong Li smiled and said hello, then returned to her seat to sit down.

"Hey, hey!" Wang Dalun also smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Li Zhixiong pointed to the vase on the table with a smile and said, "They all said your bottle is well drawn!" He answered Wang Dalun's question just now.

Wang Dalun quickly took the opportunity to point to the old professor sitting diagonally opposite him and complimented: "Yes, the old man was very knowledgeable just now and said you were very good at painting!"

"Now I'm OK!" Li Zhixiong interrupted, "Last time, Zhou Yu fell ill in the carriage and asked you to go over and take a look. What did you say?"

Wang Dalun looked at Zhou Yu and then Li Zhixiong, and immediately seemed to remember something.

Li Zhixiong followed his words at that time and said in a singular manner: "Well, I'm a veterinarian!"

This old guy looked completely gloating.

Wang Dalun remembered, looked at Li Zhixiong, then looked at Gong Li sitting in the seat, and said carefully: "Is it you?"

Gong Li, who had only exposed the back of her head, nodded with her back to the camera.

"Bang!"

Wang Dalun patted the booth with extreme regret, turned around and quickly explained: "But what I told the truth at that time! I really saw something wrong with people. What should I do? If I had known this, I would not change my career as a veterinarian. How good would I be my doctor!"

As he said that, he sat down opposite Gong Li.

"Click!"

When one shot ended, Sun Zhou shouted, and he watched the camera again, then stood up and said, "Hey, that, the two extras on the left just turned around and looked at the camera. No, do it again."

The deputy director quickly ran over and took care of the extras in the car. In fact, the director would stop immediately and start over when making mistakes in such a group. Sun Zhou would not do so. He would have to finish all the shots and do it again. He was not afraid of wasting film. For him, watching Gong Li acted like a pleasure.

Gong Li has long been used to Sunzhou's style, so it doesn't matter to Wang Dalun. He will act twice more, and he is acting opposite Gong Li, so he is really a little excited!

I took this shot twice, but there was no way. Once there were too many group actors, it would be easy to have problems. Moreover, the extras here are very different from those in Dahengdian, and they have no experience.

However, no matter how Sun Zhou did, the shooting was generally smooth. Most of the trains were matched by him and Gong Li. He wrenched his fingers, but except for the last guest appearance, this was his first time working with an international actress. Sometimes he had to sigh that a female star could stand at the height of Gong Li, which was definitely not just a beautiful face. It was definitely a matter of beauty and talent.

For example, in the next scene of this scene just now, after Zhang Qiang and Zhou Yu were introduced to the train conductor, Zhang Qiang started chatting with Zhou Yu and asking about her by taking advantage of the topic of vase.

The conversation between the two people is alert from relaxation to Zhou Yu, then disgusted, and finally smashed the vase without mercy. She will not sit there and talk to you very hard. When she is relaxed, she will wipe the table in front of her and tidy up her skirt. When she is alert, she will light a cigarette and look at the person sitting opposite her in the smoke emitted; when she is disgusted, she will hold the vase to change to another seat; when Zhang Qiang is still chatting, she will throw the vase without mercy, which means she would rather break the jade than be completely broken.

You won’t feel the stiffness of the turning point. Everything is very natural and real. You can say that you are full of drama in every move!

Chen Qing is a poet, Zhang Qiang is a veterinarian; Chen Qing is gentle and Zhang Qiang is rude; Chen Qing is passive and Zhang Qiang is active; Chen Qing is cowardly and Zhang Qiang is brave. When the two men face Zhou Yu, they show great contrast at all times.

Zhou Yu fainted in the car last time. Sun Zhou chose not to explain in the camera, but Zhou Yu had a miscarriage in the script. When she met Zhang Qiang, it was the time when there was a problem with her relationship with Chen Qing.

In the script, Sun Zhou felt that Zhou Yu felt that he had accepted Zhang Qiang had a little less preparation, and he added another scene. After Zhou Yu smashed the vase, he cried alone in the aisle of the carriage. Zhang Qiang came over to apologize and comfort her, and then the two went together to find the Xianhu in Zhou Yu's dream.

There are no lines or plots, Sun Zhou just asked the two of them to discuss. Sometimes, after entering their respective roles, the actors are more creative than the director, and the director is responsible for checking.

The original setting in the script is that in order to avoid Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang followed him. It happened that the nearest station of the train was a small station called Xianhu. Zhou Yu wanted to find the real Xianhu, so Zhang Qiang followed him together.

The train returned to the station. In order to film the scene, the station cooperated to bring in a few more cars and cooperated with the crew to be busy. Wang Dalun, Gong Li and Sun Zhou were standing by the train and exchanging opinions.

It turned out that Zhou Yu leaned against the window of the carriage aisle and cried silently. Zhang Qiang came over to pay her vase money. Zhou Yu forgave him. Then he followed the script and asked the conductor where the nearest stop was when Zhang Qiang made up the ticket. The conductor said Xianhu! Zhou Yu suddenly realized.

"Just here, Zhang Qiang gave her the money and said: I don't know if the money is enough to compensate you for the vase? Zhou Yu wiped his tears and did not accept the money: I threw the vase myself, it has nothing to do with you."

"I think it's still a bit thin. This turn is too fast and too hard..."

Wang Dalun talked about his opinion and paused. Seeing that Gong Li and the director were signaling to continue, he continued: "Can you do this? Zhou Yu ignored him at first, and then looked through the bag to find cigarettes. She forgot the cigarettes in the car in front. Zhang Qiang helped her take it over, gave her the cigarettes, and then helped her light the cigarettes. Then Zhou Yu said: I threw the vase myself, it has nothing to do with you."

“…”

Sun Zhou hugged his arms and listened carefully. Gong Li was the same. He even gestured a few times from the air based on what he said, then looked at Sun Zhou who was still thinking about it, and took the initiative to say, "I think it's OK, I felt a little abrupt before."

"Okay, then that's it." Sun Zhou nodded and said to Gong Li: "If you want to take the specific actions later, you can do whatever you want." He always gives Gong Li the greatest freedom.

"Yeah, OK!"

Then, about twenty minutes later, everything was ready and filming started immediately.

This is a sleeper carriage, the aisle is very narrow. Photographer Wang Yu carried the machine and huddled inside. Gong Li leaned against the window and looked outside, wiping her tears silently. Wang Dalun put his hands in his pockets and appeared at the entrance of the aisle.

Gong Li accidentally glanced at the door, hurriedly wiped her tears, turned around and leaned against the other side of the aisle with her hands in her chest.

From a psychological perspective, her hands crossed and her chest was a resistance, indicating that she did not want to contact him.

Wang Dalun looked embarrassed, regretful, and a little helpless. He twisted his neck and said with a stiff voice: "I'm sorry!"

Gong Li leaned there, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her face, sniffed, and ignored him.

He walked over and tried his best to make his face natural. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything when he spoke. He turned around and grabbed the handrail by the car window with both hands, bent his body, looked out of the car, and looked at the side, but he didn't dare to look in Gong Li. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't hide his face. Finally, he took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it over and said, "I don't know if this money is enough to accompany you in the vase?"

Gong Li glanced slightly in the direction of him, lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and still ignored him.

He put down his arm in a discouragement and put the money in his pocket again. At this time, Gong Li began to rummage through his bag at the right time, trying to find the cigarette in the bag, but he couldn't find it.

"Are you looking for cigarettes? Here is me." He walked over, took out a box of ladies' cigarettes from his shirt pocket, and handed them to her.

"You just landed on the table, I'll take it for you."

Gong Li silently took the cigarette, took out one and held it in her mouth, trying to light the cigarette with her own lighter, but found that the person next to her had handed the fire to her.

She looked at the lighter in her hand, hesitated for a moment, but she still came to the side of the lighter he handed over and lit the cigarette.

This is a signal of reconciliation.

Gong Li vomited a mouthful of smoke, maybe she was a little anxious, so she couldn't help but cough twice, and said, "I fell the vase myself, it has nothing to do with you."

At this time, the camera was pushed very close, all of which were close-ups.

Wang Dalun looked at her side face in surprise, nodded constantly as if he was ridiculous, then let out a long breath, walked back and forth for two steps, and finally grabbed the handrail by the window, smiled and said, "You are so kind. You scared me just now."

He turned to look at her again, and then asked, "Where are you trying to go?"

Gong Li leaned against the wall of the private room, looked out the car window, and said coldly: "Let's hide from you!"

Wang Dalun lowered his head a little embarrassedly, and couldn't help laughing when he remembered what had happened just now.

Gong Li looked back at him, wiped the tears from her face, burst into tears and laughed...

As the rain passed, the sky cleared, and the two men and women who met on the train finally started their journey below.

"Okay, go!" Sun Zhou shouted very readily this time.

This scene cannot be said to be the highlight, but it is indeed a turning point in the whole film.

"Prepare the next shot, and strive to get one more shot. After shooting, we will finish work today."

There was a burst of cheers coming from below. After filming all day, the director's words were the ones that everyone hoped to hear the most.

Wang Yu came out of the inside with the machine. The aisle was very narrow. He was sweating profusely. The photography assistant next to him quickly helped to set up a tripod at the door and fix the machine on it.

"Girl, don't be nervous later, just stand here, yes, just a little bit next to the camera, just here, the lines are read as above. It's natural, just like you usually make up for tickets on the train." Sun Zhou pulled the conductor who was temporarily guest appearance and pointed at her and helped her talk.
