"Hey, how is this mosquito coil going?"

"Director, there are many mosquitoes in this old house," a staff member replied weakly.

"Smoke floats up this thing, take it away, take it away!"

"Hey, props, this is a birthday party. Just put two plates of cucumbers, you won't feel so cold!"

"It's hot, and everything I prepared before is odorful."

"You let the kitchen cook it now! Well, just stir-fry some green pepper shredded pork or green vegetables shredded pork. It must be colored and will look greasy when you just put it on."

"I understand the director, right now!"

"light,"

The filming is about to start. Dai Xiu celebrates her birthday, and all five characters in the play are concentrated in one shot. This scene is a turning point in the whole play.

Compared to Fei Mu's version of Dai Liyan in the spring of the small town, Dai Liyan requested by Tianzhuangzhuang was alert. It was at the younger sister's birthday party that he realized the personal relationship between Zhang Zhichen and Yuwen, and then he learned the reason why Yuwen was unhappy with him.

Because this scene was a long ten-minute shot, the five actors rehearsed for the whole afternoon, including lyrics, various movements, etc. After dinner, they arranged twice. After Tianzhuangzhuang was satisfied, they were ready to start filming.

Wang Dalun was wearing a sweatshirt and beach pants leaning against the pillars in the corridor outside to smoke. There was no way, the weather was too hot, and the long shirt could not be worn at all. He only put it on temporarily when he was about to stand in front of the camera. He was always sweaty every time he finished the shot.

He was watching Acheng fiddling with two oil lamps. The two lamps were similar in style, both of which were high-legged copper pillars, with a glass cover on them, but the belly of the lamp with oil in the middle was a little different, one was cloisonné enamel and the other was dark red ceramic. These two items were purchased by Acheng at a high price, and they were all antiques.

Wang Dalun didn't understand this very well and asked, "Hey, Uncle Cheng, why are these two pieces not matching?"

Acheng glanced at him and said disdainfully: "It's better to not match it, it's worth it if it's not matched, do you understand it? Antiques are things that are precious because they are rare. Of course, one thing is more valuable than two identical things. Also, do you know why I have to use two different oil lamps?"

There will be power outages in the small town every night, so you can only light an oil lamp to light up at my sister’s birthday party. One is definitely not enough, so you need to use two.

Before Ah Cheng could answer, he proudly revealed the answer: "There are few matching oil lamps for this kind of oil lamp. In the past, the wealthy families usually customized it themselves. After the popularization of electric lamps, fewer oil lamps were used. The Dai Family Courtyard temporarily took out the oil lamps because of power outages. It seems more realistic if they don't match them."

As he said that, he took special care of him: "When you take a photo later, please let them all be careful and be careful not to touch them. These are all antiques!"

"Why!"

The work efficiency of props is very high. Four dishes and soup were placed on the table, a plate of peanuts, a plate of braised fish, and a plate of green pepper shredded pork fried in the kitchen according to the director's requirements. Considering the color, I knew it was very raw, and there was also a plate of peeled and sliced ​​raw cucumbers. The soup in the soup bowl in the middle was soaked with seaweed and water. But it doesn't matter. This kind of dish is a prop and no one will take it seriously.

After Acheng's two treasure oil lamps were lit, they were placed on both sides of the table. In order to create an atmosphere of power outage, there was no light next to them. Only a spotlight was directly hit on the table from above. The light was very concentrated. Once you left the table, you couldn't see clearly.

Li Pingbin, who had just returned from the United States for a few days, put the machine in the corner of the main hall, and pointed the camera at the table. He looked through the view frame, frowned slightly, and said, "Is this light a little too dark? Is the expression on the person's face so hard that he can't see clearly."

Tianzhuangzhuang hurried over and looked carefully, shook his head and said, "This is just right, I want this kind of flashy situation."

The actors started to take their seats. Wang Dalun was wearing a long gown and a big golden knife sitting in the main seat with his back facing the camera. On the left is Xin Baiqing wearing a shirt and vest, and on the right is today's birthday star Sisi. The seat opposite is empty. The jade pattern played by Hu Jingfan will only come to the camera later.

"Si Si, you performed well in the afternoon, so you regard acting as your birthday." As soon as Tian Zhuangzhuang gave another instructor.

"I got it, director."

The little girl is not old, but she is precocious than her peers. But then again, how many girls who can eat this industry are not precocious? Especially the girl Kobayashi who lip-synced at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games a few years later, she has become very familiar with the world at a young age.

However, Lu Sisi has made great progress recently. Although her performances these days are still very naive, they are generally much better than when she was rehearsing in Beijing.

"Okay, all units are ready!"

“Photography OK!”

“No problem with radio reception!”

The crew is ready, and the record is played:

“action!”

Xin Baiqing carried a handful of ancient tin wine pot and poured wine for Lu Sisi sitting opposite him, and smiled and said, "Little sister, today is your sixteenth birthday. Come on, drink!"

Although Dai Liyan intended to betroth his younger sister to him, his smile at the younger sister was still the same kind of smile as the older brother smiled at the younger sister, rather than the obscene smile of "Little sister, today is your sixteenth birthday. Come on, uncle will take you to see the goldfish."

"Brother Zhang, then you have to respect me." Lu Sisi stood up with a smile. Because she had been rehearsing many times before, she naturally turned to look at Wang Dalun sitting in the main seat.

Etiquette is something in the bones of wealthy families.

"Okay, I'll to you!" Xin Baiqing stood up and touched her a glass, raised her head to drink.

"I won't drink!" The little girl saw Xin Boqing drinking and her little plot succeeded, holding the wine glass and said proudly.

At this time, Ye Xiaokeng walked in from outside the door with a brass wine pot, and the old man had a festive smile on his face, filling the wine pot on the table.

"If you want to drink, you must drink it! Li Yan, look, there is no one who doesn't drink on his birthday!" Xin Baiqing complained intentionally.

Ye Xiaokeng poured Xin Boqing's cup into wine again and said with an apology: "The electricity has been shut down for an afternoon and has not arrived yet."

Wang Dalun, who only showed half of his side face, smiled slightly, and said in the slow tone that Dai Liyan was used to, and said femininely: "It's good, it's quite romantic."

"Hey, where is the jade pattern?" Xin Baiqing sat down and looked around, but did not notice Hu Jingfan.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Sisi stood up and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law is here, sister-in-law, you are so beautiful today!"

Xin Baiqing turned around and Hu Jingfan came from the door. Today she was wearing a lotus-colored cheongsam, and she specially closed her waist, a sapphire necklace, and a red scarf tied to the buttons under her armpits.

A bright light suddenly burst into Xin Boqing's eyes.

Hu Jingfan glanced at him meaningfully, walked to the table and sat down.

"Yuwen, come on, I'll toast you!" Xin Baiqing hurriedly stood up with a glass of wine.

Lu Sisi interrupted, "Brother Zhang, today is my birthday, you have to respect me!"

"I just wish you, you won't drink!" Xin Baiqing teased her in anger, and immediately smiled docilely, "Okay, respect you!"

Lusi giggled.

Xin Baiqing pretended to drink, but when he saw Lu Sisi pretending again, he deliberately looked stern, and said dissatisfiedly: "Look!"

"Hehe, you drink, I eat food! My sister-in-law has prepared so many dishes for me today!" The little girl said with confidence.

"Okay, I'll drink!"

The house is so lively, Wang Dalun looked happy, changed his usual image of Brother Yan, turned to Lu Sisi and smiled, "Little sister, do you remember what I taught you?"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and gave her a thumbs up and said to her: "Full blessings and longevity! One by one."

"Oh, you know how to beat the fists! Come on, I'll come with you!" Xin Baiqing was very interested today and took the initiative to participate.

"I haven't learned it all yet!" Lu Sisi said coquettishly.

Wang Dalun looked at her with a smile and said, "You can try it."

"Full blessings and longevity, one by one"

"Five leaders!"

"Eight Horses"

"Not count or not!"

The little girl lost.

"If you lose, you have to drink!" Xin Baiqing was not polite.

"Brother--" Lu Sisi looked at Wang Dalun for help.

Wang Dalun shook his head as if he was self-deprecating, "I'll drink it if I'm not strict with my teacher!"

"Li Yan, you can't drink it." Xin Boqing, as a doctor, hurriedly stopped him.

"I'll drink." Yuwen unexpectedly took the cup, "I'll drink it for Liyan, little sister." After that, he raised his head and drank it.

A trace of complexity flashed when Xin Baiqing looked at her.

"Brother Zhang, let's guess (a southern method of rock-scissors)!"

Dai Xiu, played by Lu Sisi, is her birthday, and with Brother Zhang, whom she secretly likes, she is still a little crazy when she is happy. She is not convinced just now and is clamoring to use her own specialty rock-scissors method.

"No problem! Come on!"

"Guess Dongli"

"Guess Dongli! Ha, Brother Zhang, you lost!"

Lu Sisi and Xin Baiqing fisted, Hu Jingfan looked at it with a smile, and from time to time helped his sister-in-law pick up a few chopsticks.

Looking at the lively atmosphere on the table, Wang Dalun stood up with a smile and slowly walked around Hu Jingfan.

As his wife, Hu Jingfan quickly stood up and helped her husband sit down in her seat.

"Guess Dongli Guess! Oh - Brother Zhang, you lost again!" The little girl clapped her hands happily.

"I lost, I'll drink it." Xin Baiqing was very generous, poured wine, and toast!

Wang Dalun looked at them softly, and while Xin Baiqing was drinking, he patted his wife's back of his hand and told him: "Don't drink too much!"

"Yes!" Hu Jingfan, who had a smile on his face and his eyes were still on Xin Baiqing, lowered his eyelids and nodded softly.

"Brother Zhang, come again, come again!"

"I won't come, I can't drink it anymore." Xin Baiqing waved his hand. He played two dishes just now and was just to make the little girl happy.

He then turned to Wang Dalun and said, "Li Yan, you have been to Sichuan, let's play Sichuan boxing."

Wang Dalun thought, stretched out his hand to gesture, and said in a Sichuan voice: "One crab comes, eight feet."

"By the way!" Xin Baiqing patted his shoulder happily, and the two of them slashed their Sichuan fists.
