951.This is northern Shaanxi, where I grew up(2/5)
Xu Xin didn't really care about this kind of thing.
I happily agreed.
Hearing this, Jiang Kui nodded and walked directly to the monitor.
The order of the play was messed up. He found the first act first, then the second act, then the third act...
Several scenes were filmed on the monitor with a mobile phone in sequence.
All were sent to Jiang Wen.
Xu Xin had already come back at this time.
The next scene is a few shots of children herding sheep.
Today he will finish filming and finalize all the child's scenes, and then send the child home with a set of "Three Years of Simulation of Five Years of High School Entrance Examination" as a gift.
Jiang Kui didn't bother him, just sat in the tent and watched Xu Xin working there.
And after a while...
"Buzz."
Jiang Wen replied.
"When is this play set?"
"beginning."
"Do you have any lines?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Not a word."
"..."
Jiang Kui was happy when he saw this row of dots.
asked:
"How's it going?"
"You can't tell much from just one shot. Let's watch the whole movie after the filming is finished. I'm busy."
Jiang Kui became even happier.
…
Before 3:30 pm, the crew started to change scenes.
At the request of the child's parents, Xu Xin stood together with the family of three.
His parents stood on both sides of him, while he stood behind the child, placing his hands on the shoulders of the child who was holding a pile of exercise papers tied with red ropes and ribbons and a bitter look on his face.
After taking a photo with a click, he touched the child's head with a smile:
"Study hard, you know? Uncle is optimistic about you~"
The child was so hung up that he couldn't hold it back and burst into tears.
And the child's parents...especially the child's father wanted to take a photo with Yang Mi.
It's a pity that Yang Mi is not here at all.
I can only give up with regret.
After finding a car to send the family of three away, the crew continued to operate as usual.
Walk all the way towards Dabaodang.
When we arrived in town, in front of a large car shop we selected, the crew began to prepare for the scene that night.
In the small kitchen of the big car shop, the dozen or so chefs were really busy, so they all started to put the pots in the backyard.
There were racks of mutton hanging on the iron shelves, a lot of offal and intestines, and sheep blood everywhere... It looked like a murder scene.
As soon as Xu Xin arrived, the master invited from Shenmu came over with two apprentices carrying a large iron basin:
"Director Xu, is this pot of sheep and scorpions okay? According to the requirements, sheep and scorpions, sheep's hooves, club bones..."
"Oh, okay, remember, don't stew it too badly. Make it chewy~"
"Okay, what's the problem?"
The fresh mutton was still radiating heat, obviously it had just been slaughtered.
Although the blood was sparkling... Xu Xin started to swallow after taking one look.
Looks like we'll have a nice dinner tonight.
And the rest of the crew also knew that there was going to be a big dinner tonight.
Everyone's spirits also improved.
Director Xu did not lie.
It’s hard to say whether the sheep in northern Shaanxi are better than those in Ganning. But compared to the sheep in Xi’an, they are much more delicious.
Xu Xin glanced at the RV parked quietly next to it and walked directly into the car shop without disturbing it.
Not to mention...he really missed this kind of environment.
The big car shop in Xujiawan was one of his fondest childhood memories.
I often go to the kitchen to steal some food.
Now that he saw the familiar environment, he really felt particularly friendly.
…
Time soon came to night.
There are more and more people at the big car shop.
This time, in addition to the village chief, Xianhan, and Zhaodi who appeared today, there were also several tables of people from the village sitting in the big car shop.
For these villagers, Xu Xin found some extras, but most of them were selected from several nearby villages.
Sometimes we have to admit that the very special temperament of farmers cannot be expressed in a performance.
Of course, the words are not so absolute, but Xu Xin has a basic concept of farmers' cognition.
First of all, their hand joints are very large and the skin on the back of their hands is very rough.
There are still traces of time and wind and frost on the face.
There are also the most common clothes, smoking habits, etc. for them.
Putting these things on a qualified actor will still take time to polish and put on makeup... but group acting is definitely not worth investing so many human resources.
So he used part group actors and part amateurs.
Amateurs come here, there are no acting requirements, as long as you don't look at the camera lens for a while.
The group performers have to take the lead for a while, saying lines, shouting, etc.
These villagers were all "given an order" by Xu Xin, and Dabao acted as a friend of the old man here and mobilized some of his relatives to come over.
Give money, treat guests to dinner, and make movies.
Just treat it as a new thing.
So, in the big car shop at night, with the smell of mutton, the whole room was full of people.
Xu Xin would also appear in the house from time to time.
Among the people who came today, there were many friends of the old man who came to act as extras wearing tattered clothes and trousers that they found out from nowhere.
Either call me uncle, call me brother, or call me brother. Anyway, I have to take care of them all.
"Smoking as you please, what's the matter?"
"You can eat when you need to eat, and drink when you need to drink. I'll let you know when the filming starts soon, and everyone just needs to cooperate."
"Come on, come on, don't look at the bottle of this wine. It's full of Moutai. Everyone, eat and drink!"
It was obviously filming, but when these words came out of Xu Xin's mouth, it was like going out to eat.
Especially for those who are grandfathers and seniors, as long as they stand up, Xu Xin has to greet them.
Shake hands, catch cigarettes...
After several trips, Su Meng had a large "bundle" of cigarettes in her hand.
If Xu Xin really finished smoking, his face would probably turn green.
At around 6 o'clock, everyone started to eat.
But there was an empty table in the middle, which was prepared for the actors.
Around 7:30, everyone had finished eating.
According to Director Xu's instructions, these sheep bones were placed on the table, including toilet paper and so on. Added to the smoke that filled the room... Lin Li was so smoked that he wished he could change the N95 on his mouth into a gas mask.
But he had to admit that as the concentration of smoke spread, his camera seemed to be covered with a layer of...smoking oil.
To be continued...
