A different director [entertainment circle]

Next is the shot of Xi Qianqian alone, because the frozen purple color of Xi Qianqian's skin has faded, Xi Qianqian had to "touch up her makeup" before shooting this shot.This time the pain was more intense than before.

Qin Yan, the photographer, and the lighting engineer took the time to come to the massage shop to make arrangements.

The small space, the dilapidated massage bed, and the red one-corner stool are all Sun Yunxiu's accumulated possessions in "Pengcheng".

Xi Qianqian, who returned to the massage shop, closed the door with her backhand, leaned against the door, and slowly slumped down to the ground as if she was discouraged.

Xi Qianqian hugged her arms, her eyes turned red, and tears gushed like springs.Xi Qianqian's crying was not intense, and she didn't make any sound.

She just wept quietly, and whenever Xi Qianqian couldn't help making a sound, she would cover her mouth, as if she didn't want anyone to find out.

However, Xi Qianqian's red-painted nails had dug into the skin of her arm, forming a strong sense of impact with the purple-blue skin.

This crying lasted for several minutes before Qin Yan yelled "ka".

However, Xi Qianqian did not stop crying because of Qin Yan's "card". The assistant at the side rushed up to comfort Xi Qianqian, saying:

"It's over, don't feel bad anymore."

During this period of time, Xi Qianqian experienced life and really became emotionally involved, and she suffered from the experience of "Sun Xiuyun".

The "Sun Yunxiu" she plays is a prostitute, a special worker who can't find a decent job in the city and is forced to degenerate.

Some time ago, Xi Qianqian watched many documentaries and documentaries about special workers in China, and even communicated and talked with girls through some special channels.

Different from Xie Beiyang's method school, Xi Qianqian is more inclined to the experience school. She really experiences the life and emotions of "Sun Yunxiu".

This is too painful for Xi Qianqian. If he was also born in the family of "Sun Yunxiu", how can he resist this rolling world?

When seeing Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang coming, Xi Qianqian was not complaining, but looking for comfort.

Everyone went up to comfort Xi Qianqian. Xi Qianqian, who is usually bold and cheerful, would cry like this. This was something that most of the crew members did not expect.

Originally, today's filming went relatively smoothly, and it was not yet the planned closing time. Seeing Xi Qianqian's pain, Qin Yan chose to close the shift immediately.

Then Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang chatted with Xi Qianqian for a long time.Help Xi Qianqian get out of the role.

Tonight's drama is already very difficult. "Liu Dali" and "Sun Yunxiu" have their own stories, and they all have their own emotional changes, which are extremely suppressed.

But there are more difficult scenes ahead.

For several days in a row, it was a "physical strength" scene, mainly filming "Liu Dali"'s work in Pengcheng.

As a minor who has not graduated from junior high school, the jobs that Liu Dali can be responsible for are all physical labor.

These shots are all real shots. For example, the shot of "moving bricks" sounds simple, but it is not a simple matter to make the shots real and touching enough.

On the construction site, workers wear long sleeves in accordance with safety regulations.It was already summer, and clothes would soon be soaked with sweat.

There is also the dust on the clothes and the small wounds caused by the friction of the bricks. These things are not problems that makeup can solve.

In the end, Xie Beiyang went to carry the bricks himself, and it wasn't until he really integrated into the construction site that these shots met Qin Yan's requirements.

There are too many similar shots, and sometimes the crew members are very suspicious, how long can Xie Beiyang last?Will Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang have a gap because of filming?

However, Xie Beiyang never complained about the hard work.

Has "Liu Dali" settled down in the city by working part-time?

The answer is obviously no. Not only did he fail to make money, but he suffered various setbacks, and his whole person was as insignificantly depraved as dust.

Liu Dali met many friends on the construction site, some took him to smoke, and some taught him to drink.

He also wanted to refuse, but if he didn't learn these skills, the workers would exclude him, and Liu Dali had to follow the crowd.

At first it was just a disguise, but later Liu Dali also liked smoking and drinking.

Life is like mud, making Liu Dali sink deeper and deeper.

The young men who are closest to Liu Dali on the construction site are all adults, some of them still have the idea of ​​fighting, and some of them have gradually adapted to the "life" of the big city.

"Dali, are you still a baby? Let's go, my brothers will take you there to open your eyes."

It was also a massage shop, but it was wider than Sun Yunxiu's. Several workers of different ages came out to negotiate prices with them.

This "eye-opening" frightened Liu Dali to rush out of the door immediately. The other end of the door was a colorful temptation, but his intuition told Liu Dali that once he took this step, it would be difficult for him to turn back.

It was only now that Liu Dali knew what Sun Yunxiu was doing.

Liu Dali couldn't tell what he was thinking, perhaps Sun Yunxiu was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, or maybe because she was a fellow villager, Liu Dali returned to the massage shop again and gradually got in touch with Sun Yunxiu.

The following two people are the story of the relationship between the two people. The relationship between Liu Dali and Sun Yunxiu is very special, and it is not directly stated in the script. It can only be figured out by the actors and directors.

But who can know that this is already the brightest part of the plot?

Because of Qin Yan's strictness towards Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian recently, everyone already knows how high Qin Yan's standards are.

They have all foreseen the filming of the film, and it is absolutely impossible to be smooth sailing.

But no one thought that it was not any actor who had problems first, but Qin Yan himself.

As the plot continued to progress, everyone could clearly feel that Qin Yan's state was becoming more and more abnormal, irritable and unpredictable.

In the beginning, the whole movie was completely controlled by Qin Yan. No matter what he filmed, he had his own ideas. The actors only needed to complete his tasks.

Similarly, if the actors have any questions, they can get answers from Qin Yan.

But recently, Qin Yan's views on movies have been repeated. Even Xie Beiyang and the others have never seen Qin Yan like this.

"Okay, Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian, come over here, and I'll talk to you about the play again."

Just finished filming the scene where "Sun Yunxiu" confesses to "Liu Dali" what he has experienced in these years, and both of them express the emotions of collapse, pain, and self-analysis very well.

They were also very satisfied with their own performance, but Qin Yan was frowning in front of the camera, he was not satisfied with the plot at all.

At the same time, Qin Yan also called the screenwriter Wang Changyong together, the core creators of the movie, and they discussed the plot just now.

"Although Liu Dali knows that Sun Yunxiu is actually a special industrialist, he doesn't dislike Sun Yunxiu, he is a good boy"

This is Wang Changyong's idea. In his conception, "Liu Dali" should be kinder.

But Qin Yan has a different opinion, he said:

"There is no such simple thing in the world. Teacher Wang, in your book, Liu Dali accepted Sun Yunxiu's identity, and the relationship between the two of them is getting better and better. I don't think it is realistic."

"Unless Liu Dali covets Sun Yunxiu's beauty."

"Liu Dali is not this kind of person!" Wang Changyong retorted immediately.

"I think this should reflect Liu Dali's dislike of Sun Yunxiu, and also the mutual dislike of people at the bottom of society, in order to show the evil of human nature." Qin Yan continued without retreating an inch.

"You have to know that the more miserable and the people who live at the bottom, the more likely they are to intrigue with each other for a little bit of benefit. There has never been any empathy."

Qin Yan's starting point is completely different. He always feels that since "Born in the Silt" has already shown the complex human nature, this part of the content should be expressed more profoundly.

In Qin Yan's view, Wang Changyong's setting of the role was still too idealistic.

Of course, Qin Yan also bears part of the responsibility.

Because when he was reviewing the script, he was reviewing it completely according to the set of commercial standards.

How to set the ups and downs of the script, how to grasp the audience's emotions, when the audience is uncomfortable because of the plot, what kind of positive feedback should be given to the audience, so that the audience can continue to watch...

Obviously a kind, pure protagonist is more likely to be liked by the audience.

Including Qin Yan's adjustments to the script some time ago, all in order to make the plot more impactful.

But now he is hesitating, whether to make "Born in Silt" more profound.

The movies Qin Yan has made in recent years have formed an extremely obvious contrast with his preference for movies in his previous life.

Although Qin Yan can achieve good box office results every time he makes a movie, but these movies are not Qin Yan's own aesthetic expression.

For example, in "Laughing Jianghu", Qin Yan never thinks that all problems can be solved with money. He appreciates the foolish adventurous spirit of the hero, but at the end of the movie, he still arranges a problem with money. Hilarious ending to resolve the battle.

In "The Gatekeeper", Qin Yan is not actually an adherent of absolute procedural justice.

He may have some other legal concepts, but he knows that if the "Gatekeeper" filmed according to his own ideas cannot cater to the Western market, there is no way to help him go out of the world.

Before commercial success and artistic expression, Qin Yan chose the former.

But "Born in Mud" is different. Qin Yan really likes this story and the theme behind the script.

This script made Qin Yan rethink, besides himself, is there any child in the orphanage who can get rid of the "silt" of life?

And the reality he knows is more cruel than the plot description.

This Qin Yan was confused, whether he should stick to his understanding of the script, make the plot more realistic and reflect the theme more complicated, or should he continue to abandon his personal aesthetics and cater to the market.

Of course, more importantly, Qin Yan recalled the movies he had made.

I haven't made a literary film for a long time, am I denying myself in my previous life?

Or is it that I am afraid of failing again and dare not make a pure literary film?

Wang Changyong said directly: "Director Qin, I also know what you are thinking. In fact, when I was writing this script, I also thought about this issue."

"Things back then were far more complicated than the script."

"Actually, after he arrived in Pengcheng, he no longer wanted to change his destiny with his own efforts."

"He has begun to resent the society. Why was he born in a rural area? Why can't he grow up without worrying about food and clothing and attend classes in spacious and bright classrooms like children in the city."

"If 'Liu Dali' is portrayed so complicatedly, it will be difficult for the audience to like the character of Liu Dali. I want to use a pure person to set off the ending."

Qin Yan was just struggling with his own path, not really not understanding why the script was written like this.Even he couldn't convince himself, let alone Wang Changyong.

The more sober his understanding, the more painful it was for him.

The discussion this time did not result in any results, so Qin Yan could only continue working.

The next scene was the first time Liu Dali lost confidence in society.

After working part-time for a month, Liu Dali finally got his salary.

However, the contractor who claimed to be Liu Dali's hometown directly deducted 200 yuan from Liu Dali on the grounds that Liu Dali was young and weak, and did not complete the standard workload at all.

This is Liu Dali's ten-day salary, of course he refuses to accept it.

In the previous filming, Liu Dali was definitely the hardest worker on the construction site. He believed that he could make money and change his destiny by working hard.

So Liu Dali had a physical conflict with the foreman.

In order to photograph the changes in Liu Dali's expression, Qin Yan has already photographed it 5 times in a row.

"No, you should be more vicious here. You have to know that money is your only hope. Nothing in your heart can compare to money."

Xie Beiyang managed to present "Liu Dali" as a money-hungry person, and when he saw the money, there was a violent mood swing in his eyes.

Qin Yan felt that something was wrong again, because such a performance would not be able to show the original kindness and innocence of the character "Liu Dali".

Qin Yan asked Xie Beiyang to perform again:

"At this time, your eyes should look a little bit confused. You trust the contractor wholeheartedly, but he deceived you. You have doubts about human nature."

After repeated shooting, Xie Beiyang successfully performed different emotions according to Qin Yan's request.

Every actor present expressed affirmation of Xie Beiyang's acting skills, but Qin Yan was still dissatisfied, and his face became more and more ugly.

The whole set fell silent, no one dared to resist Qin Yan at this moment.

Qin Yan himself was at a loss as to whether he should pursue "true humanity" or "intense conflict".

"Liu Dali" If he is really so innocent, how can he survive in this society, and how will the subsequent plot conflict.

Moreover, he is already 16 years old and has been working in the city for a month. Is Liu Dali really that innocent?

Each explanation makes sense, but each explanation is less than perfect.

Qin Yan became more and more irritable, and he even had doubts about all the clips he had taken before.

Should I start from scratch?

He was about to say something, when he raised his head, he found Xie Beiyang looking at him quietly.There is no impatience in the eyes due to repeated shooting, only trust in him.

Qin Yan's heartbeat stopped suddenly, and he said in a low voice:

"Let's pass this scene for now."

For the next whole day, Qin Yan was not in the mood.

Fortunately, today is Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian's scenes, they both know Qin Yan's request very well.

Even though Qin Yan remained silent, they were able to catch Qin Yan's thoughts in time and perform them perfectly.

From the perspective of the rest of the crew, Qin Yan seemed to be just a bit perfectionist in his pursuit of excellence in the film.

Qin Yan didn't let the anxiety in his heart show the slightest bit, he knew the backbone of his crew.

If the director of the crew has doubts about the plot being filmed, it will definitely be a catastrophic blow to the entire crew.

So Qin Yan couldn't let himself linger in this kind of entanglement. After work was over, Qin Yan returned to the room with the script and began to read the script again.

It is not uncommon for scripts to be changed during filming.

After all, everyone's thoughts will change with time. When Qin Yan made a movie before, he also had some wild and brilliant ideas.

Just as Qin Yan became more and more irritable and started scratching his head, the door suddenly rang.

Qin Yan walked to the door and did not open it directly, but said:

"I've already rested, if there is anything else, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Qin Yan is really proficient in this set of rhetoric.

In his crew, there is an unwritten rule: no one can open the door of his room after 8 o'clock.

Qin Yan has retained this habit since the beginning of "Laughing Jianghu". On the one hand, there are too many people who want to recommend themselves, and on the other hand, Qin Yan does not want any misunderstandings, especially not good for him and Xie Beiyang. Emotional misunderstanding.

"it's me."

With just two words, Qin Yan immediately recognized Xie Beiyang's voice, but Qin Yan really didn't expect it to be Xie Beiyang.

Because the two of them had agreed a long time ago that they could not enter each other's room under any circumstances during the filming period. They are both simple-minded men, and neither of them knew what would happen.

If there is any urgent matter, Xie Beiyang will usually contact him by mobile phone, who knows that Xie Beiyang will suddenly come to him in person today.

Is there another group of people standing at the door?

In fact, Qin Yan already had some vague guesses in his heart. After all, the person who knows him best in this world must be Xie Beiyang.

Qin Yan opened the door directly, and he watched Xie Beiyang show him a bright smile, and he was holding beer and side dishes in his hand.

"I'm here to deliver supper."

After making sure that there was no one around, Qin Yan turned sideways, put his right hand behind his back, bowed ninety degrees, and pretended to welcome Xie Beiyang:

"The presence of the leaders is truly magnificent."

Qin Yan is not exaggerating, as long as Xie Beiyang appears in his world, his mood will stabilize instantly.

No matter how anxious he was just now, Qin Yan's heart is full of joy now.Just like when we were filming this morning, as long as Xie Beiyang looked at him, he escaped from the maze of emotions.

Although both of them knew why Xie Beiyang came to Qin Yan's room tonight.

But the two of them didn't get straight to the point. Xie Beiyang opened the beer directly, handed one to Qin Yan, and said:

"The summer in the south is too hot, it's better to drink some beer to cool off."

The two raised their beers and took a swig.Xie Beiyang sighed:

"Time flies so fast. I was the happiest in the past when I was eating skewers and drinking beer in front of the school."

After three glasses of beer and two glasses of beer, together with the appetizers brought by Xie Beiyang, the rationality and reserve of both of them were driven away by the alcohol.

Qin Yan said with a smile: "That's right. We haven't gone back to school to eat skewers for a long time. Remember the first time we met."

Xie Beiyang nodded, and suddenly leaned into Qin Yan's ear and said:

"Let me tell you a secret that you don't know. In fact, when you told the waiter to change the beer to Coke, I was thinking, this person is really awkward. He obviously likes to drink beer. In order to maintain his image, he had to Drinking Coke, isn't this embarrassing yourself?"

Thinking of the interesting events back then, even Qin Yan, who was as cheeky as a city wall, said with some embarrassment:

"It's all in the past, let's forget about it, okay?"

Although Qin Yan is a successful person and a great director, he still has many bad habits in his life. There is no perfect person in the world.

He and Xie Beiyang were also very nervous when they first started living together, whether they would gradually alienate each other because they lived too closely and saw some flaws in each other.

But later, Qin Yan discovered that those small shortcomings would only make the other party more vivid and three-dimensional in his eyes.

Xie Beiyang picked up the can again and took a sip:

"Actually, there is something I've always wanted to tell you."

"No matter what the real you is, I like it very much."

Qin Yan's heart trembled, it was not the first time that Xie Beiyang expressed his feelings so straightforwardly.

Both of them are very frank about their relationship, especially after the relationship is established, they will say a few sweet words from time to time.

Maybe it's because it's been too hard to make a movie recently, or maybe it's because of the booze of alcohol, Qin Yan thinks this sentence is particularly beautiful, and it makes his heart surge.

"Also no matter how you make "Born in Silt" in the end, I will feel very good."

Xie Beiyang had already seen what Qin Yan was struggling with.

Although Qin Yan has been making commercial films, he is constantly making money in the eyes of outsiders, and he is a director who only caters to the market.

But Xie Beiyang has always been able to feel Qin Yan's preference for art films, knowing that Qin Yan has always wanted to create his own film.

Not catering to the market, bold innovations, themes he cares about the most, attempts at various photography techniques... Qin Yan is a particularly avant-garde person in art.

The reality is that Qin Yan has been thinking about how to make the market like his movies more and how to make the Chinese film industry take shape step by step.

He doesn't have time to stop and shoot what he likes.

Xie Beiyang could tell that Qin Yan liked "Born in Silt" from the bottom of his heart.

Now that there is such an opportunity for Qin Yan to make his favorite movie, Xie Beiyang will definitely support Qin Yan without hesitation.

"But if it is shot according to the style I like, the market may not like the final "Born in Silt" very much."

This is what Qin Yan has been struggling with, and it deviates from their original intention of filming "Born in Silt".

"I still hope you can be happier and more selfish."

This is Xie Beiyang's answer. Compared with Qin Yan's heavy sense of responsibility, Xie Beiyang's thoughts are more direct.

Listening to Xie Beiyang's support, Qin Yan's heart disappeared instantly.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I have you by my side, I'm already very happy. I won't hesitate any more."
