Chapter 124
Because of the suspension of “The Wife Returns”, Zuo Xian doesn’t have any work tasks in the future, but for “The State Banquet”, the interval between them is relatively long.
In order to maintain Zuo Xian’s popularity, Universal contacted and arranged for Zuo Xian to appear on a few more relaxing entertainment variety shows.
The more popular ones nowadays are several reality shows, which are funny and at the same time give play to the spirit they want to convey to everyone.
Patriotism, dedication, persistence, unity, friendliness, etc., through each of the mini-games, the character of the guests can be seen. Zuo Xian only agreed after a little thought.
— After all, programs like variety shows are short in time, fast in money, and can be played freely at will.
In addition to these, Zuo Xian usually takes classes at home. In order to keep up with the progress, when she was at home, she specially signed up for an online class through the Internet. After class, Lu Xingxian personally tutored her. Not to mention not busy.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the day when Zuo Xian was about to join the group.
She knocked on the door and went in to see that there was no one inside.
At this time, there was a slight sound of music coming from downstairs, Zuo Xian blinked, smiled, and went downstairs briskly, and found Lu Xingxian who was adjusting the instrument in the music room.
“A Xian!” Zuo Xian yelled, and immediately rushed up from behind, saying, “I’m going to join the group tomorrow, so I’m a little nervous.”
“Don’t be nervous.” Lu Xingxian smiled, “There is no difference between filming and TV shooting. There are not many extra-large scenes in “State Banquet”. More are emotional scenes that you are good at.”
Zuo Xian understands the truth, she is not really nervous… oh, that’s not right, she is a little nervous, but she just wants to hang out with Lu Xing for a while longer.
“I know.” Zuo Xian wrinkled his nose.
“I told Sister Shuang about the suspension of work after the fourth quarter.” Without leaving Lu Xingxian’s shoulder, she walked around half a circle and said, “Sister Shuang’s obstruction was suppressed by me! But now She has two rookies in her hands, and the momentum is good, but her qualifications are mediocre, and it depends on her subsequent development. By the way, Nie Shuru has also transferred to Universal now, and she happens to be assigned to the twin sisters.”
These chattering little things that surround Zuo Xian and Lu Xingxian every day are things they discuss every day.
Lu Xingxian also listened carefully, fiddling with a guitar in his hand, gently strumming the single string, listening to Zuo Xian’s chattering voice in her ear, his eyes suddenly glanced at the door.
Tiao Tiao and Nao Nao were stepping on catwalks one after the other to come in. Seeing her turn her head, the two cats stopped synchronously, their little heads tilted, and they curled up their legs and sat by the door.
Suddenly, Lu Xingxian laughed, and responded softly, “Well, that’s pretty good.”
“That’s right.” Zuo Xian smiled, “I think it’s pretty good too.”
While the crew was busy preparing, Zuo Xian was also non-stop preparing for the homework he had to do.
The Mi Lan she will play is a female doctor from a family of medical scholars who has been practicing medicine with her elders all her life.
There are not many lines in the script of the movie, but she wants to dig out everything about Mi Lan, and even deeper things, from these relatively thin pages.
The production process on the set, even in the post-production process, is very rigorous. Zuo Xian can always see the art production with the computer in his hand, and the props on his shoulders. Even if he fell down, he would get up and run immediately without complaint. The back of the staff.
Such a working environment, for an actor, will feel at ease from the bottom of his heart, and besides that, Zuo Xian admires director Chen Chengcheng even more.
Whether it’s the employment of people, the control of all these, or the selection of actors, I have to say that he is really a good player.
—Well, of course this is not boasting.
The movie has not yet started shooting, and it took nearly half a year to complete it just in the early stage.
Zuo Xian really didn’t know where Director Chen got the courage to choose to make a big scene without confirming the actors. She had asked Lu Xingxian about this matter at the time.
As a result, Lu Xingxian said that even if he didn’t shoot this scene, and put it here after it was built, many people who needed to shoot would come to rent the scene. In short, there would be no loss of money.
Zuo Xian can understand it when he said it this way, and suddenly thought that he had seen some directors who were still recycling discarded items that were not used by their peers—probably this is the reason, turning waste into treasure, directors are also diligent and thrifty. of.
In the play, because the time has come to the Republic of China, the world is full of disputes and the current situation is turbulent. As a result, the country has extremely serious bipolar surprises and warlord struggles.
The place where Mi Lan lives is a small and remote county town, away from the turmoil, so it stands to reason that she should live very comfortably.
The people here want to make money, feed and educate the next generation. There are young people who have gone to the big cities to work hard, and there are also peasant women who live in a peaceful corner. However, after a few generations, there are gradually some old people left in the village. up.
Mi Lan’s grandfather, Mi Guangyu, used to be an imperial physician. He returned home when he was old because of his health, but he also escaped the last fight in the palace. , became a doctor.
The entire play revolves around the pharmacy, which is why the director has spent a lot of effort on the setting of the pharmacy.
It is illegal to buy and sell cultural relics, but he compared the pictures one by one, found similar ones from craftsmen in the industry, and then made them into imitation objects one by one, or rented some ready-made props.
Under the influence of such a big environment, it is relatively easy for actors to enter the play, and the overall aura and atmosphere are more in line with it, without appearing abrupt.
At the beginning of the shot, it is a busy scene in the busy but noisy medicine hall.
Because of the doctor’s reputation, not only the people in this village will go to see a doctor to get medicine, but even people from neighboring villages will come here for consultation and treatment.
There are many apprentices who come to learn the art from all over the place, and there are two who are busy grabbing medicine, drying medicine, removing roots, and even pouring water in the hall.
There are folks sitting and chatting in twos and threes everywhere, asking what is wrong with this, and boasting that the owner of the pharmacy is a good doctor, boasting that he is a “doctor in the hall” and there is no charge for consultations.
It was in this hustle and bustle that Mi Lan and her apprentices, who had gone into the mountains to collect and debate medicines, returned from the outside with a ragged, disheveled man with a face that could not be seen clearly.
A group of simple people startled all around, stood up from their chairs in a panic, and asked all over the place, “Oh, what’s the matter!”
“Don’t be some kind of infectious disease?”
In the chaos, the girl in the pink skirt orderly asked the apprentices behind to put them down, and then directed the people around to disperse, and said crisply, “Get out of the way, uncles and aunts, what are you arguing about?” Woolen cloth?”
Hearing the girl’s words, the neighbors waiting around couldn’t help showing a slightly disgusted expression—
The old doctor is good at medicine and does not charge money for seeing a doctor, but this young doctor is not so good.
