Chapter 339 Life
The relationship between film technology and actors has always been changing, and each director has different opinions on individuals, which has resulted in different styles of works.
What Xu Rong has not revealed is that in the film industry, the return rate of actors' business ability is much higher than that in the TV series and drama industries.
Because of its short length and highly concentrated plot, if an actor can contribute several exciting moments, even if the movie itself has a fair influence, in today's highly developed Internet, actors will easily stand out.
If the film itself is a big hit, even if an actor only performs for a few minutes or even seconds, as long as it is exciting enough, it will give the market and audience the impression of an "important success puzzle". Then after the movie is released, the actor's own commercial value will likely immediately soar.
In contrast, the return rate for longer TV series and stage plays that do not allow mistakes in every detail is relatively low.
After waiting for about an hour and a half, when he saw Du Qifeng and Sun Honglei spend time again, Xu Rong took a break and asked, "Director, will you have a night show tonight?"
Du Qifeng looked at Xu Rong sitting next to him, and realized that Xu Rong had been waiting on the set for a day, and smiled and said, "Well, why don't you go back and rest first, even if you go to the night show, you can't film you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Rong patted her butt, nodded to photography director Zheng Zhaoqiang and You Naihai, and got up and left the set.
When he got into the car, he saw Li Geng biting his pen cap and writing and drawing on a small notebook. He asked, "Li Geng, what are you writing?"
"hey-hey."
Li Geng subconsciously closed the notebook and said, "Oh, it's what I saw today."
Xu Rong was interested. Now Li Geng is a master's student in the Department of Directors of Beijing Television. He has no lack of professional ability and only experience. He stretched out his hand and said, "Take it and take a look."
"Brother, I really didn't write anything, I just have some experience."
"Let me see, otherwise I don't know what level of it is. Do you still expect me to invest money for you?"
In desperation, Li Geng could only hand over the notebook, and sat in the passenger seat like an ostrich, hunched his shoulders and sat on the passenger seat.
When the director is majestic, it's all, especially if there is no actress in the crew who has beautiful legs and big breasts, the director's job will be an extremely boring thing.
——On November 6, 2011, the internationally renowned director Li Geng was recorded in Tianjin.
"Smack it."
Xu Rong gently patted the cover of the notebook, looked slanted against the back of the chair, and said, "Li Geng, what would the teacher have if he saw the experience you wrote?"
Li Geng couldn't be an ostrich now, so he quickly turned around, and a little smile was squeezed out on his dry face, and he said, "Brother, are you kidding?"
Xu Rong gave him the notebook and said, "This time it's a joke, but it may not be the next time."
Li Geng laughed and said, "I will remember it carefully tomorrow, study hard, and remember it carefully."
Xu Rong looked at Li Geng with great confusion and said, "Hey, you usually have a lot of people. Do you not envy others at all when they see them spending a lot of money?"
Li Geng put his laptop into his backpack and said carelessly: "Of course I'm envious, why don't I envy it? But I don't think there is anything wrong with my life now."
As he said, he leaned over and placed his bag on the seat next to Xu Rong, pulled the back of the chair, revealing a thin face with a half-pull and chuckled, and said, "Brother, there is something, you don't mind, my dad, you, you both live, I'm so tired for you, yes, yes, you really make more money than me, and there are people holding it and respecting it everywhere, but I don't live as freely as I do?"
Xu Rong smiled and asked back, "Is that true?"
Looking at the inexplicable smile on Xu Rong's face, Li Geng became a little uncertain: "Isn't it?"
Xu Rong lay back in the chair and said to Wang Yaqin in front: "Yaqin, park the car in front."
After Wang Yaqin stopped the car, Xu Rong threw his backpack to him again and said, "Go down."
"What's wrong?"
"You'll know if you go down."
Li Geng got out of the car and saw that the car door was closed quickly. The car started slowly and was about to come forward to stop it. At this moment, Xu Rong opened the window, held his arm and leaned on his head, and asked, "What about now?"
Li Geng looked at him in confusion: "Brother, you don't want to leave me here, right? I was wrong. Am I not as casual as you?"
Xu Rong closed the car window and said with a smile: "I am free and easy, I know whether you are free and easy, and you are free and easy to feel it slowly on the way back to the hotel."
When the word "feeling" fell, the car windows were just closed tightly.
Xu Rong buried in the chair again. It was about two kilometers away from the hotel. Li Geng should do it as exercise.
When he was in junior high school in the town, he walked over with his legs on his dirt road about eight kilometers away from the school.
I don’t think it’s anything, but when it’s snowy days, it’s a little hard to walk in cotton shoes with a sole. The soil and snow water cover the rugged path, and there are softer and wet wheat fields on both sides of the road. Every time I walk for a while, I have to stop and remove the large pieces of mud on the shoes. If I’m not careful, there is still a risk of slipping.
Therefore, he had a particularly deep memory of the text "Preface to Sending Horses to Dongyang", and the sentence "When I was a teacher, I carried my box and walked in the deep mountains and valleys, with strong winds in the winter, heavy snow several feet deep, and my feet were cracked but I didn't know it." It often came to my mind.
But thinking about it again at this time was an interesting experience.
Wang Yaqin in front glanced at the rearview mirror, hesitated for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "Teacher Xu, do you really leave him alone?"
Xu Rong listened to Wang Yaqin's tentative tone and said, "I'm for his own good. Of course, he may not think so, but now, he has no other choice but to accept it."
He created many opportunities for Li Geng. In addition to greeting the instructor of Beijing Film Academy, he hoped to take care of this brother more. Recently, he also gave Li Geng to Kong Datou to participate in the preparations for "Peking".
In fact, it is just to let Li Geng study for free.
As soon as the filming of "Drug War" started, he pulled him over and learned Du Qifeng's shooting techniques and crew management.
Li Geng's starting point in the director's career surpassed 90% of the country's professional directors, because most people are cautious and cautious in starting from various assistants and even offices, and are called out like grandsons all day long.
But the opportunity has only been three to five years. If Li Geng still lived a careless life day and had no progress, for the sake of the teacher, he would not have lost a bowl of rice to Li Geng, but that's all.
Li Geng stood by the roadside with his backpack in his arms, watching the car gradually fade away. It took him a while to come to his senses. Why is he so mean?
He thought Xu Rong wouldn't be joking with him, but after a while, the car disappeared completely, he realized that the other party was not joking with him.
At this time, his mood gradually turned from not caring about it.
Li Geng walked for nearly an hour after a kilometer journey.
Along the way, he thought a lot.
Is it natural for Xu Rong to help him?
He asked his father that his father had never helped Xu Rong ask for any role, and had contacted any crew. Xu Rong's resources were all snatched by him.
As for the teacher-student relationship between his father and Xu Rong, in his opinion, it is just a false reputation.
He thought of Xu Rong's help to him again. He said he wanted to take the Beijing Film Academy exam. He helped him find a mentor. He wanted to learn filming. He introduced himself to famous directors and paid himself a living expense every month. Of course, in name, it was a salary.
All these consume human favors.
Now that his father is alive, Xu Rong can still take care of his affection, but if his father is gone one day, how long can the love last?
When Li Geng arrived at the hotel with his bag on his back and panting, upstairs, Xu Rong, who was not very lively, was already wearing a bathrobe and sitting at the computer desk with a plate of fruit.
Connecting the hard drive, he opened a folder called "Study Materials".
Various photos are displayed on the screen. The common point of these photos is that portraits occupy a considerable proportion of the photos. The people in them are dressed in different ways, some are dressed in bright and beautiful, some are sloppy and dirty, some are full-body photos, some are half-body photos and even only facial expressions.
The people in the photo also have various emotions and states. Some laugh happily, some burst into tears, some have their faces and expressions, and their eyes are numb.
These photos are not expensive, and they collected nearly a hundred photos after spending only tens of thousands.
It’s not that he has a collection habit, but that he imitates the experience of Mr. Lan Tianye, collects photos of various professions, ages, and groups, and carefully observes their expressions, eyes and temperament when they are idle.
Compared to the old man, he is much more convenient. After all, there are so many materials that can be selected by the RMB under the guidance of the road.
"Didi."
When Xu Rongben heard the message prompt of the automatic login QQ, he didn't care. There were not many people among his QQ friends, only some of his former college classmates, but those classmates, especially female classmates, were very clear about his QQ login status, 99.9999% of the time, Xiao Zhang was fishing.
However, after he noticed that Xiao Zhang's avatar was flashing, he quickly clicked on the message.
Xiao Zhang: Teacher Xu, you’ve finished work. Yes, the frozen green garlic made by grandpa is delicious. You said you like it very much, do you want to eat it?
Xu Rong stuffed the winter dates into his mouth and said, "Let's eat it when you go back." However, before pressing the send button, he deleted all the words, and something I had encountered in the community before appeared in his mind.
A two or three-year-old girl was playing by the flower bed in the community. At some point, she found a very beautiful blue flower like a butterfly. She happily wielded the pigtails behind her head and jumped towards her mother not far away, shouting loudly: "Mom, mom, I found a blue flower, it looks so beautiful, come and see, come and see."
My mother is a fashionable woman in her twenties. She was playing with her cell phone. When she called her daughter, she didn't look up at all. She just responded casually and then focused on her cell phone again.
The child stood in front of the woman for a few seconds, repeated the words several times, but still did not get a response from the woman. He raised his little hand gently beside him, turned around silently, walked to the blue bud, and admired it quietly alone, but then, even though she met other beautiful buds of beautiful buds, she was so happy that she did not run to "report" to her mother again.
This scene fell into Xu Rong's eyes without any fault. When the little girl was excited to find someone to share, she smiled at him with a kind smile.
But the girl's figure that lowered her arms and turned silently was deeply imprinted into his mind, so she deleted all the words she had typed and re-entered: But what should I do if I can't eat it now?
"Didi."
Xiao Zhang: Oh, Teacher Xu, you are so stupid. Send me the address and I can send it to the hotel where you stay.
Xiao Zhang: If the weight of the jar is included, the express delivery fee will be more expensive than the things you send. Don’t let it go back, otherwise grandpa will say that I’m spending money indiscriminately.
Xu Rong knocked it quickly: I know, but remember not to use glass bottles, as they will be broken by express delivery.
If Xiao Zhang wants to know where he is, he can tell the exact address by sending a message to Wang Yaqin, but she still came to ask specifically, not to ask him if he wants to eat, because she already knew from her grandfather that she liked to eat.
The purpose of her questioning was to tell him that she was ready and that if she wanted to eat, she could send it to her immediately.
Of course he could refuse on the grounds that he was in another place.
But no matter how you refuse, you will refuse in the end. If you have too many times, even if there are frozen green garlic, frozen red garlic, and frozen purple garlic, Xiao Zhang may not not leave it for him, but when he thinks of his enthusiasm, it will probably slowly dissipate.
Not letting the concerns of those who care about fail and giving positive feedback is something that is easily accustomed to and ignored by most people.
But it is also one of the reasons why he and Xiao Zhang have been together for seven or eight years and still remained the same when they were together.
When Xu Rong was chatting with Xiao Zhang all the time, You Naihai, who was still squatting on the set, regretted it to death.
Thanks to Du Qifeng's new requirements for Sun Honglei, the crew fell into a state of "grinding".
If you grind a line of scripts in an hour, you will probably be able to grind four lines until you finish the work.
I'm afraid he won't have time to perfect the subsequent plot.
You Naihai likes to chat with Xu Rong very much because he found that although the other party was not a screenwriter, he could provide many novel ideas. For example, the young man's thoughts were quite crazy, even more crazy than his idea of the role of Cai Tianming.
The purpose of his writing script was to advance the plot step by step to the final "decisive battle", but Xu Rong was always thinking about how to suddenly kill Zhang Lei and his group and let Cai Tianming escape alone.
But when Xu Rong learned that he had nothing to do today and turned around and got in the car and returned to the hotel, You Naihai realized that the set was really boring, but even if it was boring, he still had to wait.
Haven't had a meal yet.
In fact, he wanted to go back in the middle of the afternoon. The reason why he has survived until now is not Du Qifeng's face, but the reason why he is curious about Du Qifeng's high evaluation of Xu Rong.
As a result, after waiting for an afternoon, there was no chance for Xu Rong to play.
This also means that tomorrow, he has to get up early.
