Chapter 25: The strange situation witnessed on the set
Zhang Yuanjun misjudged the severity of his injuries.
Three to five days?
The bruises on his body have never gone away.
Even in an explosion scene, due to a miscalculation, an explosion point exploded under Zhang Yuanjun's feet, leaving a gash in Zhang Yuanjun's right leg.
The injury was not serious. There was a cut on the right leg as long as half a finger, and blood started to flow down immediately.
The crew immediately became nervous.
"Send to the hospital quickly."
Zhang Yuanjun sat down and asked the medical staff of the crew to do some simple treatment: "Why should I go to the hospital for this kind of injury? When I was a kid, I fell much harder than this while riding a bicycle. Both knees were rotten, but I still got up and rode like flying."
”
The doctor at the scene confirmed: "The wound is not deep."
Zhang Yuanjun said: "For disinfection, just apply some purple liquid."
"You're welcome." The doctor didn't say he was wrong.
"It's not that expensive." Zhang Yuanjun crossed his legs and said with a smile, "It took me time to go to the hospital, and the wounds healed on their own."
These words made the director and the doctor laugh.
The doctor took care of it for him, but he didn't forget to tell him: "It's a small injury, but you still have to be careful not to get wet in the past few days."
"Yes, I understand." Zhang Yuanjun stood up and moved. It hurt a little, but it was not a big problem and it would not affect normal walking.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuanjun did not have any violent action scenes in the next few days, they were all literary scenes, so this injury did not affect the filming progress.
Zhang Yuanjun rejected the director's offer to take a half-day off, and only rested for half an hour before restarting work.
But one day after filming, Zhang Yuanjun went back to his room after the show, cleaned the wound and applied medicine again, but there was still blood coming out.
But the next day, he acted like a normal person and went to the set on time to put on makeup and start work.
A crew can range from dozens to hundreds of people, so it would be abnormal if nothing unexpected happened.
Zhang Yuanjun worked day and night on the Wuxi crew, unaware of his age.
During this time on the set, what struck Zhang Yuanjun most deeply was the invisible barrier between the mainland actors and the Hong Kong and Taiwan crew.
Although the main cast is dominated by mainlanders, the attitude of a few Hong Kong and Taiwan actors towards mainland creators is still visible to the naked eye - it cannot be said to be unfriendly, but at least it will make people feel that you and them are not in the same pot.
They rarely communicate with the mainland actors on set. They will at most nod to you after the scene, and then go back to their chairs to rest and wait for the next scene.
And they have a very bad habit. They are in a crew with mostly mainlanders, and they still like to communicate in Cantonese. Even if their opponents are mainland actors, they don't speak Mandarin.
Language has become the biggest obstacle for the creatives to communicate. Zhang Yuanjun initially thought that they could not speak Mandarin or could not speak Mandarin well, but later he found that this was not the case.
They simply don’t want to speak Mandarin. They subconsciously use language to form a communication wall and differentiate between you and me.
Cantonese is spoken very fast and contains a few English words. Many people cannot understand Cantonese. As a result, most mainland actors, including Zhang Yuanjun, not only have to memorize their own lines but also memorize them when playing opposite Hong Kong actors.
Rival actor's words.
Otherwise, if someone is not paying attention, the other party will slide over, unable to pick up the words, and the shooting will be delayed.
Similarly, some bad habits of the Hong Kong crew were also brought to Wuxi.
For example, the flying paper boy phenomenon.
The first time Zhang Yuanjun met the director and screenwriter to rewrite the lyrics on the spot, he took a small piece of paper and handed it to the actors to read it on the spot.
It's not just a sentence or two, it's a large-scale change of words, not only my own, but also those of my opponent's actors.
At least four of Zhang Yuanjun's ten days of scripts were different from the ones he got before.
This kind of shooting method puts great pressure on actors like Zhang Yuanjun, who came from an orthodox academy, and he can only memorize lyrics at full capacity.
However, Feizhi really trains actors' abilities, and Zhang Yuanjun also benefited a lot from it.
But Zhang Yuanjun still finds it difficult to accept this shooting method.
Another thing Zhang Yuanjun cannot accept is the performance of the leading actor Guo Jinan.
Cheng Shifei is a comedy character, but Guo Jinan's performance is too Hong Kong-style nonsensical.
If I say it ten thousand times, even if Wang Jing himself comes, Zhang Yuanjun will also say that except for Zhou Xingxing, he hates the nonsensical performances of everyone else.
If others perform in this way, the character's actions and lines will appear illogical, and he will look like an annoying fool.
In fact, according to Zhang Yuanjun's understanding, the performance of the character Cheng Shifei should be based on the approach of Chen Xiaochun and Wei Xiaobao.
It would be better if the nonsensical style is restrained.
He now truly understands why so many "professional" people don't recognize Zhou Xingxing.
Fortunately, the scenes opposite Cheng Shifei and Gui Hai Yida are not many, and they are not concentrated. The two actors do not need to communicate too much, they can each perform their own roles.
After May Day, after a month of hard work, the crew's operation became smoother and smoother, and the shooting progress suddenly accelerated. Shooting ten pages a day was normal operation.
But the more intense the work, the more people need to adjust their emotions in a timely manner.
Zhang Yuanjun’s choice is running and writing. The weather in Wuxi is very good in May. Zhang Yuanjun goes out for a run every day when he has time, and after coming back, he takes a shower and writes for an hour.
I don’t know who told Liu Yifei that he wrote a copy of "Orchid in the Empty Valley" for his assistant, so he pestered Zhang Yuanjun to give him a copy too.
Zhang Yuanjun said on the phone: "You don't have the artistic ability, and you can't tell whether it's good or bad after writing it. Don't waste my words."
But Liu Yifei refused, saying that she had never received Zhang Yuanjun's calligraphy after being a classmate for two years: "Luo Jin and the others have it, even your temporary assistant has one, why don't I want one?"
Zhang Yuanjun couldn't resist her, so he agreed to write it for her, and when he returned to school after filming, he said to her: "Write it for you, what do you want?"
Liu Yifei is so weird that she opens her mouth and says: "I want to lose weight and write a thousand-character essay."
Zhang Yuanjun almost wanted to curse: "A Thousand-Character Essay? What do you think I am! Do you know how long it will take me to write a Thousand-Character Essay? You are really good at making demands."
"I don't care, you promised to write to me."
"Why don't you tell me that I will write Sikuquanshu for you."
"That's too much. You won't be able to finish it in your lifetime." Anyway, Liu Yifei wants a thousand-character essay.
Zhang Yuanjun explained to her again: "I'm a beginner in official script. I can also do regular script and cursive script. I haven't studied it seriously in Shojin, so my writing is not good."
"I see those slim gold bodies on the Internet that look very good."
"If you laymen like you can't read, Slim Gold is... forget it, you don't understand it even if you tell me." Zhang Yuanjun originally planned to educate Liu Yifei on the characteristics of Slim Gold, but gave up after a second thought, "Slim Gold"
Jin, my writing is really not good-looking. How about I give you a copy of "Lanting Preface", which is the best cursive script in the world."
Zhang Yuanjun worked hard on the seriousness of the two kings, and his writing was somewhat good.
"What is "Lanting Preface"?" Zhang Yuanjun would never have thought that Liu Yifei would ask such a question.
"High school Chinese is a compulsory text, and history classes are also taught. I forgot that you are not in high school in China." Zhang Yuanjun stabbed Liu Yifei directly in the lungs.
"Ah!" Liu Yifei was almost furious. Zhang Yuanjun was used to making fun of her for being "uneducated", "You are the only one who has read a book! I don't care, you write "Lanting Preface" for me. You have to write it better than that Wang Xizhi
."
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "Then come to Wuxi now and stab me to death."
