Chapter 376 Can't control
"Ka, yes."
The scene ended with Zhang Yimou's shout. While the props and photographers were busy, Zhang Yimou looked back at the scene just taken on the monitor and smiled.
This smells right!
"Director Zhang."
A voice sounded from the side.
Zhang Yimou seemed to be used to this. He raised his butt slightly and used both arms to make room for the director's chair.
Zhou Dongyu immediately bent forward and looked at his performance on the monitor.
This is the tacit understanding the two have developed over the past few days.
Every time Zhou Dongyu finished her performance, whether she passed or failed, she would go to the monitor to watch her performance. After watching it, Zhang Yimou would tell her which part of her performance was good or bad.
The two of them were watching the monitor. On the other side, Qin Muchu walked out of the house arranged by the crew with his suitcase, followed by Zhang Mo.
"Don't you stay for a few more days?"
Zhang Mo still wanted to stay, but Qin Muchu had already decided to leave and said with a smile:
"I've been here for more than a week. If I don't leave, I'd be embarrassed to keep eating and drinking."
Although he knew it was a joke, Zhang Mo still said:
"Who dares to say that you are just eating and drinking without saying that you are a screenwriter..."
After a pause, his tone became teasing:
"Only for your skill in tapping stubborn rocks, who on the crew would not be grateful to you."
Qin Muchu smiled and shook his head.
The so-called "skillful way to point out stubborn rocks" means that he made Zhou Dongyu's acting "reborn" within this week, turning him from an "acting scumbag" to a "little drama queen".
Facts have proved that his method of getting Zhou Dongyu and Dou Xiao to "fall in love" was very effective.
Inseparable for a week, the two played Jing Qiu and Lao San again. It is a bit exaggerated to say that the people in the book came to life, but after several corrections and adjustments by Zhang Yimou, the one that finally passed was definitely worthy of such praise.
This is not a boast, but was personally verified by Amy, the original author of "The Hawthorn Tree" who came to the set yesterday.
To be able to make the original author who originally felt that Zhou Dongyu was not suitable for his Jingqiu say something like this shows how good Zhou Dongyu's acting skills are...
No, it should be said that Lao Mouzi has a vicious vision.
Except for her bad figure, Zhou Dongyu's performance as Jingqiu in other aspects is really her true character.
This is the consensus of everyone on the crew now, but no one felt this way before.
Even Qin Muchu felt that this girl just seemed simple and "plain", a bit similar to Jingqiu, but he never thought that she would be "acting in her true colors".
"Director Zhang should be sure of the actors."
Qin Muchu sighed, feeling ashamed.
However, his words were misunderstood by Zhang Mo as "credit for humility", because in the eyes of everyone on the crew, Zhou Dongyu has changed so much not because Zhang Yimou chose the right person, but because Qin Muchu is so good at training actors!
Otherwise, how can we explain that before Qin Muchu came, Zhou Dongyu's performance made the photographer want to scold him, but after he came, everything changed drastically?
"Don't try to save my father's respect. He is just too stubborn and insists on using newcomers who have never acted.
Xiaoyu's acting is pretty good now, but if it were Sissi, how could there be so much trouble? "
Zhang Mo curled his lips.
When choosing the female lead in "Hawthorn Tree", she recommended Liu Xiqian.
The cooperation in "Love Letter" established a friendship between the two. She truly felt that Liu Xiqian was very suitable to play Jingqiu.
If you want that youthful feeling of never having been in love, wouldn’t Sissi have been solo since she was born?
And he has several more years of experience than Zhou Dongyu!
Let’s talk about her figure. Although Xixi doesn’t meet Jing’s “front and back” requirements in the original work, she is still much better than Zhou Dongyu, right?
Qin Muchu smiled and said nothing. Zhang Yimou did not choose Liu Xiqian and insisted on using a newcomer. He could probably guess the reason.
Liu Xiqian's appearance is more suitable for Jingqiu, but she may not be able to play the role better than Zhou Dongyu.
She has a disadvantage - she has acted in too many dramas.
This seems to be an advantage. Acting too much is not a good thing. If you use it to call for qualifications, it is also experience.
But sometimes it's not said that way.
Most people who act too much will develop a "acting routine". Simply put, they know how to cry when they cry and how to laugh when they laugh.
For those who have never acted, they rely solely on their inner feelings, and their emotions are more natural and more sincere.
Of course, this is not absolute.
There are also elderly actors who can break through themselves every time and give performances that are directly touching people's hearts, and there are also new actors who are very crotch-stretching.
Whether to modify the original painting or paint on white paper depends entirely on the director's preference.
Lao Mouzi himself is a director who likes to use new actors. Otherwise, "Mou Girl" would come from one generation to another, while Qin Muchu's "Qin Girl" or "Chu Girl" would have been discontinued long ago.
Zhang Mo must also know these reasons. The reason why he is still talking about them now is probably out of sisterly love or... because he is afraid that he will have a knot in his heart.
Liu Xiqian is Qin Muchu's person, and Lao Mouzi was determined not to choose her at first. As a result, the newcomer he chose performed very poorly and had to be trained by others before she performed well.
Most people will indeed feel a little unhappy.
Qin Muchu's eyes flickered, wondering if Zhang Mo really had this consideration.
But regardless of whether it was true or not, he really didn't think so.
So he said:
"It's a good thing that Director Zhang is exploring new actors. With more new actors joining, we can have more actors available."
Zhang Mo glanced at Qin Muchu, as if observing his expression, and then sighed:
"I still think Xiaoyu is not as good as Sissi. I don't understand why Dad favors her so much... Look,"
Qin Muchu looked in the direction of Zhang Mo's finger.
It turned out that the two of them were talking while walking and had arrived at the set unknowingly. From a distance, they could see an old man and a young man huddled in front of the monitor.
This scene was common since Zhou Dongyu's "love" ended the day before yesterday, and he didn't find it strange:
"It's always a good thing to review more after the performance and communicate more with the director."
Zhang Mo glanced at Qin Muchu again.
But this time there was a tendency to roll one's eyes.
Good things, good things, and co-authoring are all good things for you, right?
Is it a good thing to let Mimi punch you later?
Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, she pointed her finger in the same direction:
"Then why can't the male protagonist enjoy this good thing?"
Qin Muchu squinted his eyes slightly and saw the tall boy standing behind Lao Mouzi, it was Dou Xiao.
Analyzing from the distance and stance, he is indeed not as close to Lao Mouzi as Zhou Dongyu.
I noticed that Zhang Mo had a somewhat resentful expression and was stunned for a moment. Is that the case?
Are you so aggrieved by Dou Xiao?
I didn't see how close the two were on the set.
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered that Zhang Mo had never said anything good about Zhou Dongyu, and his expression became playful:
"Sister Mo, aren't you jealous?"
"Jealous?"
"Director Zhang was so kind to Xiaoyu that he took away your father's love."
Zhang Mo couldn't bear it anymore, he rolled his eyes and slapped Qin Muchu:
"Am I crazy to be jealous of this? I'm almost three years old... and already in my 20s!"
Qin Muchu thought that you would say "27", but he still didn't take the girl's age seriously and asked:
"Then why do you feel that you are hostile to Zhou Dongyu?"
"hostility?"
Zhang Mo was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, his expression returned to normal, and he frowned and said:
"It's not hostility, it's just that I don't like her very much. This girl isn't really as innocent as Jingqiu, and she's a bit unkind to others.
Didn't the filming of her scenes stop before, so we started shooting scenes with other supporting roles. There was an actress and a nurse who played a good role, and my dad praised her a few times. I saw her secretly rolling her eyes at that time. "
Qin Muchu frowned slightly, which was somewhat different from Zhou Dongyu's behavior in the past week or so, but he still said:
"Although this behavior is not good, it doesn't necessarily mean that you don't want to see others, right? I have a child's temper and a lot of psychological pressure at the time. It's understandable to have such a reaction."
Zhang Mo shook his head:
"I haven't finished talking yet. Later, when the nurse was finalizing and leaving, Dou Xiao went over to give it to her and called her senior. I then found out that the girl was also Yan Ying's, two levels older than him. Hey..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Qin Muchu:
"So it's your junior sister, her name is Gao Ye, do you know her?"
Gao Ye?
The image of a girl immediately appeared in Qin Muchu's mind. Speaking of which, "Love Letter" was inspired by her.
"She's not a school girl, she's my classmate."
"Classmate? She just graduated this year. Aren't you a teacher this year?"
Zhang Mo was surprised.
"I graduated a year early." Qin Muchu explained.
This is indeed easy to cause misunderstanding. He has been a teacher for a year, while his classmates are still in school.
Zhang Mo nodded:
"Is that so? I thought you were in the same class as Mimi."
After thinking about it, he said again:
"Then you're hooking up with your senior. You're a good boy. That's quite acceptable."
"It was my senior sister who picked up on me... No, Sister Mo, where did you get this?"
Qin Muchu was speechless.
No post bar is so crooked.
Zhang Mo also came to his senses:
"Oh, yes, say...where did I just say?"
"Two levels higher than Dou Xiao."
"Oh, yes, two levels older."
After being reminded by Qin Muchu, Zhang Mo thought about it, turned to Qin Muchu and asked:
"Do you know what Zhou Dongyu muttered when he heard this?"
"what?"
"I'm about to graduate and I'm still doing a side job, so I'm going to college in vain."
"..."
Qin Muchu frowned this time.
To say that I secretly rolled my eyes before was due to my child's bad temper and bad mood, or at best, it could be because I was angry at myself for not living up to expectations.
But there is no excuse for saying this.
"Have you told Director Zhang about this?" he asked.
"I told you, but my dad didn't say anything and told me to leave it alone. I really don't know what he thought."
Zhang Mo looked puzzled and then said:
"Actually, this mentality is nothing. Jealousy, intrigues, flattery and contempt are normal in the industry. As long as this drama is performed well, we will not cooperate in the future. But look at my dad like this..."
Her voice suddenly became softer:
"I suspect that my father and Zhang Weiping will take her away in the future. I don't know about others. Can you accept someone with this kind of personality?"
Qin Muchu was silent for a long time and then said:
"It's really possible."
"You really accept it?"
Zhang Mo's voice suddenly rose again,
"Aren't you afraid of destroying the harmonious family atmosphere of your company's common development of 'morality, intelligence, body, art, and labor'?"
"It's all about what."
Qin Muchu waved his hand and said:
"It's not that it's impossible to take her away, it's really possible that Director Zhang will take her away."
He remembered that night Zhang Yimou said he was not sure whether bringing Zhou Dongyu into the circle was a good thing.
This kind of care has exceeded the relationship between Bole and Chollima.
If the two Zhangs separate in the future, given Lao Mouzi's character, he will definitely want to find a good place for Qianlima, at least not in the hands of a "slave" like Zhang Weiping.
After he told Zhang Mo what he said that night, Zhang Mo felt a little baffled:
"That's too much control, isn't it? If you are brought into the circle and you are not thanked, you have to be a nanny for the rest of your life? Why didn't Zhang Ziyi care?"
"I don't care, I don't care."
Lao Mouzi told him that he had advised Zhang Ziyi not to be so utilitarian.
Zhang Mo's breath froze and he said again:
"Then this can be controlled?"
Qin Muchu pursed his lips and looked at Lao Mouzi who was telling Zhou Dongyu a play in the distance:
"Maybe it's because the previous one failed to control it, so I'm trying to control it this time?
And Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Dongyu are somewhat different after all.
Zhang Ziyi was already a Chinese opera student at that time, and she would become an actor in the future with or without Director Zhang.
Zhou Dongyu... I heard Assistant Director Wang said that he discovered her during the art exam of the Dance Department of Nanyang University of Arts, right?If it weren’t for Director Zhang, I might never be able to enter this industry..."
……
"The look in your eyes when you look at Dou Xiao should be more joyful, but the body movements when getting along should be more twitchy. Only in this way can you show the feeling of liking but being embarrassed to speak..."
Zhang Yimou was telling Zhou Dongyu a play when he suddenly saw his daughter and Qin Muchu carrying a box coming over, and stopped.
Zhou Dongyu also turned around, saw the two of them, and said hello with a smile:
"Teacher Qin, Sister Momo."
Seeing the suitcase in Qin Muchu's hand, he immediately asked:
"Teacher Qin, are you... leaving?"
Qin Muchu nodded, not cold-faced or anything else because of Zhang Mo's words, he still had a smile on his face:
"Yes, I've been here for quite a few days. I still have something to do over there."
Qin Muchu told Zhang Yimou last night that he was leaving. He also knew that Qin Muchu was very busy, and it was extraordinary that he could stay on the set for so many days. He didn't try to persuade him to stay, but just stood up:
"I'll take you to the airport."
"Don't."
Qin Muchu knew that Lao Mouzi wanted to show his gratitude to him, but he still waved his hand and refused:
"Didn't you watch the news? Many people are coming to Yichang for your crew. When you show up at the airport, will I still be able to leave?"
Zhang Yimou agreed when he heard this. He still had a headache when talking about it.
Yesterday was the first day of the May Day holiday. Some college students in the village went home for the holiday. By the way, they leaked the news that the crew of "The Hawthorn Tree" was filming here.
He also sent photos of the crew filming.
The Internet exploded in an instant.
Although the village chief found out and gave the only Miaomiao in the village who was admitted to college a hard kick in front of Lao Mouzi and asked him to delete the photos, it was too late.
This kid praised his hometown for its beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery, and even the great director Zhang Yimou came to make movies.
It's already in the news.
Many netizens said that it was just right, and they wanted to visit famous directors and celebrities during their May Day trip.
Shaking his head to stop thinking about these troublesome things, Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Mo and asked:
"Is the car ready?"
"Already waiting at the entrance of the village."
Zhang Yimou nodded and patted Qin Muchu's arm:
"Then let's go, I'll take you to the car."
Qin Muchu didn't refuse this time, and the village entrance wasn't far from here.
"Xiao Yu, Dou Xiao, you two will confront each other about the next scene."
Zhang Yimou gave instructions before leaving.
This made Zhou Dongyu, who originally wanted to see Qin Muchu off together, stopped. Just as he was hesitating whether to say anything, he heard Dou Xiao already say, "Goodbye, Director Qin."
I was a little angry, but I had no choice but to say goodbye too.
But something came to mind while waving, and he asked again:
"Teacher Qin, how are Nazha and Reba doing their review?"
Speaking of this, Qin Muchu remembered their exaggerated bonus points and said:
"They are special, so they should be fine."
Special, what special?
Is it because she is pretty, or is it because she is from your company that she has been hired?
Thinking of his difficult review journey, Zhou Dongyu felt a little unhappy.
Qin Muchu didn't care about Zhou Dongyu who suddenly wilted, and just thought it was because her review was not going well.
In this situation, for him, he just brushed up on the questions and frantically brushed up on the questions, but he probably didn't want to hear that, so he didn't say it.
Zhang Mo frowned when he looked at Zhou Dongyu, but at this time Zhang Yimou said a word and looked away from Zhou Dongyu.
"Momo, go to Cannes with Xiao Qin."
"Ah? I, dad, I went to the drama group..."
Before she could finish her words, Zhang Yimou shook his hand:
"Don't worry about the crew. Everything is going smoothly now. You can go to Cannes to experience it. This time, follow Xiao Qin. I will try to bring my own works there in the future."
