When the first heavy rain fell in the city in late autumn, "Song of White Snow" was launched on the wilderness in the northwest.

Su Jinjiang's first scene was to ride a horse across a plain.The background is bright and mottled towns, and the front is the distant and continuous snow-capped mountains.

Director Cheng said that he hasn't figured out where to put this shot, it doesn't have to be at the beginning, but Su Jinjiang can act according to the initial state of the protagonist.

Su Jinjiang was not used to it. The crew and director he spoke to before gave detailed lectures, telling him how to use the light, how to set the expression, the speed of the lines and the tone of the lines.He himself is very talented and can understand what the director wants to feel.

But Cheng Dao doesn't like to talk about dramas, he relies on the fit between the actors themselves and the roles, and likes to let the actors play freely.

This is not only a test of acting skills, but also a test of the actor's personal sensibility and emotional level.

Su Jinjiang memorized the script very well, but he still couldn't quite understand what kind of state the "protagonist's initial state" should be as Dao Cheng said.

The long-range shot was not bad, but the close-up effect was not satisfactory to Cheng Dao.The movie screen will magnify the actor's face to the point that it is completely visible, and any subtle unnaturalness will not escape the audience's eyes.Similarly, if the actor's expression is very layered, the audience will also keenly capture it and be emotionally infected.

"What I want is the 'empty' state at the beginning of the character, not to let your expression go blank." Cheng Dao became bad-tempered as soon as he entered work, and he spoke in a hurry. He is not a little baby, has he no life experience before? Don’t you have your own understanding and supplement for the biography of the characters that are not written in the script? The character is a book, and you act like a stack of A4 papers that have just been opened Yes, there is no meaning at all."

Director Cheng's words were quite blunt, but Su Jinjiang didn't mind at all.Cheng Dao's style of work is well known in the circle, and many big-name actors who have become famous have been scolded by him. Su Jinjiang has long been mentally prepared.The other staff members of the crew were obviously used to it, and they calmly pulled back and started over.

Bai Pu and his assistant Jiao Xin also stood on the sidelines.Bai Pu accepted his agent Liu Yu's opinion, and swallowed his anger to play a supporting role with not many roles.Liu Yu comforted him and said, in fact, this is also a good thing, just treat it as a wayfinding, and he will know it when he cooperates with Cheng Dao in the future.

Jiao Xin stood beside him, holding the coat for Bai Pu.Hearing that Su Jinjiang was being scolded, no one else reacted, only Jiao Xin laughed.

When Su Jinjiang was touching up his makeup, Yao Jing quietly came over and said to him: "You don't have to think about what effect Director Cheng wants, just follow your own ideas. You have to trust Director Cheng's eye for selecting actors, he said If you have a high degree of fit with this role, it is really high."

"I feel more at ease when you say that." Su Jinjiang said.During the month of working out, he thought about the script when he had nothing to do, and even wrote a character biography for the protagonist Bai Cheng, and asked Yao Jing about it.Yao Jing said that it felt right, the Baicheng he conceived was such a person.

Stripped of the cloak of martial arts movies, the story of "Song of White Snow" is actually about self-realization and father-son relationship, and the latter is almost every man's lifelong topic.Under the identity of the leader of the martial arts, Baicheng is just a young man trying to find his way. He has already stepped out of the world of his parents, but he still doesn't know where his own world is.

Just like Su Jinjiang who left home many years ago.That morning, he stood downstairs in his house wearing earphones, locked the iron gate of the yard, and then threw the key back into the yard.The bunch of keys hit the pillars of the porch with a clang, and at that moment he seemed to see his father looking behind the curtains on the second floor.He turned and walked away without looking back.There is a song playing in the earphones. The lyrics and melody of "In the Name of the Father" have separated him from the world of his father's generation on both sides of the gully.

He didn't know what expression he looked like at that time, maybe it was a kind of initial "emptiness".The past has passed, and the future has not yet come.Not a blank sheet of paper, but empty indeed, waiting to be filled by some unknown emotion.

During the second filming, Su Jinjiang made some fine adjustments to his expression.After watching the replay, Director Cheng didn't say anything, and told him to prepare for the next game.

Yao Jing secretly made a "V" to Su Jinjiang and blinked.Director Cheng almost never praised actors. If he said nothing, it meant that he was very satisfied and had nothing to say.

When taking a break after lunch, Su Jinjiang saw that the mineral water on the set was gone, and the staff were too busy to move, so he took Xiaoning to the car to move.

When I came back, I heard a few people chatting in the shed in the rest area.At first, we were talking about the scene that Su Jinjiang filmed just now, and then someone asked casually: "You guys knew each other when you were filming "Hongmeng", right?"

It sounded like he was asking Bai Pu.

Bai Pu didn't answer, and it was his slender-eyed and high-cheekbone female assistant Jiao Xin who answered the conversation: "Where do you know each other? We're not in the same group, and we can't even meet each other. He has few roles, so he joined the crew." Just left in two days."

The person who asked the question said "oh".

Jiao Xin continued: "However, I heard that that person's character is not very good, and he liked to put on airs when he was a newcomer. It is obviously because of him that he NG, and he wants to spread his anger on others."

"No way." Another actor said, "I think he's pretty good."

"Why not." Jiao Xin's voice was full of displeasure at being questioned, "Many people know that he has a bad reputation, poor acting skills and low emotional intelligence. It all depends on relationships. Originally, we talked about this role first. I don’t know why it suddenly fell into his hands. You think, he is not well-known, and he can snatch our role, it’s not because there are people behind him.”

The other actor fell silent.

Su Jinjiang thought for a while, then turned around and asked Xiao Ning softly, "Do you still have the chewing gum you bought earlier? Give me a bottle."

"Oh." Xiao Ning took out a bottle from her bag, opened the lid and handed it over, "Here, Brother Su."

"Is there any one without the lid open?" Su Jinjiang gestured towards the inside of the shed.

"Yes, yes." Xiao Ning understood, and quickly took out a new bottle.

Su Jinjiang took Xiao Ning in and put a bottle of mineral water in front of everyone.

Everyone else thanked Su Jinjiang, only Jiao Xin pretended to talk to Bai Pu without even looking at Su Jinjiang.When Su Jinjiang passed by, Jiao Xin wanted to get her bottle of water, but suddenly found that the expressions of the people around her were a bit subtle, and then saw that there was no mineral water in front of her, only a bottle of chewing gum.

Jiao Xin walked sideways with Bai Pu on weekdays, and had never been teased so blatantly by anyone. He was taken aback for a moment, and his anger rose to his forehead, he grabbed the bottle and stretched forward, wishing to stick his fingers to Su Jinjiang Face, "Hey what do you mean?!"

Director Cheng heard the commotion here, and came over to look, "What are you shouting about! What's the matter?"

"He, he," Jiao Xin was a little annoyed, pointing at Su Jinjiang with one hand, and holding up the chewing gum bottle with the other as if holding criminal evidence, "He gave me this!"

Director Cheng glanced at it, frowned, feeling puzzled, "What's wrong? Isn't it just chewing gum, you can't eat it?"

"No," Jiao Xin came to his senses, thinking about how to say it for a while, "I'm just..."

Director Cheng had been in contact with Jiao Xin during the film and television festival, and he didn't have a good impression of her, so he didn't have the patience to listen to her talking nonsense, so he interrupted directly: "Okay, if there's nothing else, I'm going to shoot the next scene. The weather is good today, try to take more shots.”

Bai Pu took off his coat and followed Director Cheng to go outside.His face was not very good-looking.Jiao Xin was his assistant, and Su Jinjiang was clearly pointing fingers at Huai. On the surface, he hated Jiao Xin, but in fact he was embarrassing him.If there is another time, it is estimated that he will have to attack him directly.

He suddenly remembered what Liu Yu once said: "...he will become a climate in the future, and it will be difficult for you to be a man in front of him."

In the next scene, Bai Pu is the protagonist, the action is not difficult, and there is only a relatively long line.

Bai Pu's mind still hasn't recovered from the matter just now, everyone has stood in front of the camera and hasn't entered the scene yet, and has eaten screws twice in a row.The more nervous he was, the worse his performance was. After finishing his lines carefully for the third time, even he himself felt that this was not acting, but a primary school student memorizing texts.After the fourth round of filming, when he called "Cut", he waited in fear for Director Cheng to speak.

Cheng Dao's violent temper is well-deserved, he didn't even watch the playback, and kicked the chair over with a bang.

The atmosphere at the scene froze instantly, and everyone stood anxiously, waiting for the expected storm to come.

"Are you good at acting, huh?" Cheng Dao pointed to Bai Pu's nose, "I can't even say such a sentence well, why are you here? Do you think this is a tour with a group?"

Bai Pu is irrefutable, but he is not reconciled to being scolded like this, especially in front of Su Jinjiang.In order to save face, he said in a low voice: "That time just now was okay, I used to shoot like that."

Before he finished speaking, the eyes of the people around him changed to "You are going to finish".At the shooting scene, no one can challenge Director Cheng's authority as a director.Even Yao Jing, the only screenwriter in the entire crew who dared to confront Director Cheng, would only offer opinions on the plot and dialogue, and would never make irresponsible remarks during the filming process.

In fact, Bai Pu also knew about this situation. Liu Yu had reminded him a long time ago that he must remember what Cheng Dao said on the set.

However, Bai Pu reckoned that with Liu Yu's friendship with Cheng Dao and Xie Zixin, Cheng Dao couldn't embarrass him too much.What's more, it's just started, the director and the actors are still in the running-in period, and it's normal to have some disagreements. Director Cheng will give him a similar step and it's over.In this way, he will have more face in the crew in the future, which is equivalent to publicly declaring "I am the person under the shadow of Director Cheng".

"Do you think your performance is okay?" Director Cheng's voice dropped.When he yells, blows his beard and stares at people, the content is generally exaggerated, not aimed at the person being scolded himself.However, when he lowered his volume, it meant that he was about to say something very offensive but true.

"Bai Pu, let me tell you, when you come to my place, you will put away all your little cleverness. Don't think that you are so famous or powerful. In my place, there are no celebrities, only actors." Director Cheng looked at Bai Pu .He didn't point with his fingers anymore, but Bai Pu felt a little out of breath, as if a huge slap in the air was about to fall.

Sure enough, Director Cheng's next words were like a thunderous slap across the face, "You also know that if your agent hadn't come to the studio to make connections, you wouldn't have been able to join my crew at all. If you want to act, just give it to me." When it comes to acting, put your efforts to the right place and don’t be distracted all day long. If you don’t want to act, get out early, and don’t delay those capable and hard-working actors.”

These words were heavy enough in themselves, Cheng Dao didn't know that Jiao Xin had slapped him before, and this slap had the effect of a critical blow.Even Bai Pu took Jiao Xin, his face was swollen eight times, and he couldn't find a place to put it.
