"Sit down and be more casual." Zhang Qiurui smiled and pointed to the stool.
"Director Zhang, the crew has almost finished preparations, and the villa for filming has been decorated according to Director Zhang's requirements. When will the filming start now?" Zou Wenhuai was looking forward to the start of filming of this movie, and even expected it to win an award at the Berlin Film Festival, so he seemed a little anxious.
"Filming will start in three days. During these three days, I will read the script with teachers Hu, Luo, and Hong Jie, and try to sort out the emotions between the characters and the direction of the plot to ensure that everyone's understanding and interpretation of the role can reach the best state." Zhang Qiurui set the start time for the filming.
"Okay, let's start filming in three days. I will invite reporters to interview us at the opening ceremony. Director Zhang, do you mind?" Zou Wenhuai asked.
"No problem, just follow Mr. Zou's arrangements. Three bosses, do you want to listen to us reading the script together?" Zhang Qiurui asked in confusion when she saw that the time for filming had been set and that Zou Wenhuai and the other two had no intention of leaving.
"We want to see Director Zhang read the script, how he does it, how he talks about the play with the actors, and learn from him at the same time." He Guanchang said with a smile when he heard this.
"Since the three CEOs are interested, just watch, but don't make any noise.
Have you read the script? Did you bring everything with you? " Zhang Qiurui nodded, then looked at Hu Feng and Luo Lan and asked.
"I've read it and brought it with me." Hu Feng and Luo Lan hurriedly took out the script.
"Teacher Hu and Teacher Luo asked you to speak Mandarin lines during filming. Do you have any problem with that?" Zhang Qiurui asked tentatively.
"This..." Hu Feng hesitated for a moment and did not answer.
"If it's the director's request, we have no objection. It's just that we have always spoken Cantonese, and our Mandarin is not very standard. It takes some time to adapt and learn." Luo Lan took over the conversation and said sincerely.
"It's okay, I'm just saying. When filming, you can just speak Cantonese. You can learn and practice Mandarin when you have time. It will be useful in the future." The question Zhang Qiurui asked this time was just to let the world know that he would need to speak Mandarin when filming his own dramas in the future.
In her later life, she had already learned Cantonese, and with the intensive study during this period, she could speak Cantonese quite fluently, but her voice was still a little stiff compared to that of authentic native Cantonese speakers.
However, it was enough for her to understand the actors' dialogues during filming.
However, for Li Shaohong, Hu Mei, Zhang Yimou, Xie Xiaojin, Gu Changwei and others, they had never been exposed to Cantonese before. Although they had learned Cantonese in a rush in the past few months, they still seemed to stumble when talking to people or listening to people talking, especially when the speed of speech was fast, and they could only catch a few scattered words.
If you are an assistant in the crew, this is nothing. But if one day you become a director and cannot even understand the actors' dialogues, how can you shoot a wonderful work?
"Have you read the script? Do you have any questions or thoughts about the roles you are going to play, or if you think there are any unreasonable points, you can raise them. As long as it is beneficial to the filming, I will adopt it.
"In the script of 'Love,' any scenes you're unsure of or have questions about, please let us know and we can discuss and resolve them together," Zhang Qiurui asked, his eyes sweeping over Hu Feng and Luo Lan.
"Director Zhang, the male lead I play has several fierce arguments with the female lead in the script, and it seems that with each argument, there is a layer of despair that is gradually increasing.
This kind of progressive despair seems difficult to grasp." After Hu Feng talked about the script, he became very serious.
When the heroine was first paralyzed in bed, during their arguments, the hero still held out hope that she would recover, and there was still a glimmer in his eyes. But after repeated arguments, the glimmer in his eyes gradually dimmed, until it was finally completely consumed by despair. It is this delicate and profound emotional shift that you must grasp.
At the beginning, you can try to retain a hint of tenderness and leniency during the argument, which shows that you still have hope for the woman to get better. After each argument, you can subtly adjust your tone, eyes, and body language, making them gradually become cold and distant.
Remember, every moment of despair isn't sudden, but the cumulative result of all the preceding emotions." Zhang Qiurui nodded, a hint of approval in her tone, clearly pleased with Hu Feng's ability to delve into the character's inner world.
At this time, Luo Lan also spoke up: "Director Zhang, the heroine I play in the script went through a transformation from being confident and independent to being paralyzed due to illness, and finally almost giving up on life.
I think eye expression is the most important thing. In the early days, when I was paralyzed, my eyes still had hope. However, with the treatment and the long-term failure to recover, as well as the trivialities of life, and the fact that I was originally a decent person, after paralysis, I could not take care of myself and had to rely on my lover for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, this gap made my eyes gradually lose their luster and become empty and confused.
I wanted her eyes to convey her inner struggle and helplessness, so that the audience could feel how proud and confident she used to be, but now she can only lie in bed and rely on others for life. This transformation is not only physical, but also a huge blow to the soul.
During the initial filming, I would try my best to keep that glimmer of hope in my eyes. Even when we were arguing, I would try to reveal my dependence on and reluctance to let go of the male lead amidst my anger and despair.
But as the plot develops, my eyes will gradually become dim, and every dispute will be like a knife, cutting off my love for life bit by bit.
