"The first scene, first shot of "A Chinese Ghost Story", God Ike." With the crisp "click" of the clapperboard, the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" officially kicked off.
The first shot of the first scene was the scene where Nie Xiaoqian changed into red clothes.
There are no lines in this scene. Zhang Qiurui, dressed in elegant plain clothes, slowly walks into the camera. There is a hint of resentment in her eyes. Her hands are slightly open, with her index fingers slightly raised and her thumbs and middle fingers slightly pinched. A maid behind her puts a red dress on Zhang Qiurui.
As she put on her clothes, Zhang Qiurui tilted her head slightly, and the camera slowly moved in, focusing on Zhang Qiurui's delicate and picturesque face.
Under the dim light, the red dress seemed like a bright glow that penetrated the darkness, adding a bit of charm and sadness to her. The entire set was instantly immersed in a mysterious and beautiful atmosphere.
The blower blew, gently brushing Zhang Qiurui's hair and clothes, making her look otherworldly and ghostly.
"Pass! Next game." Zhang Yimou sat behind the scenes and watched the replay. He nodded with satisfaction.
This scene is not only a visual feast, but also sets the emotional tone for the entire story, perfectly capturing Nie Xiaoqian's complex and subtle inner world - her reluctance to leave the world and her helplessness towards fate.
"A Chinese Ghost Story, second scene, first shot, Ike God."
The second scene is where Ning Caichen mistakenly thinks Yan Chixia is a murderer and worries about Nie Xiaoqian's safety, so he comes to inform Nie Xiaoqian.
"Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian." Zhang Guorong came outside the house and saw the figure inside. His anxious expression was mixed with joy.
When Nie Xiaoqian heard Ning Caichen's call, she felt happy but also a little anxious.
She pushed open the wooden door and saw Ning Caichen sweating profusely, his eyes full of anxiety and concern.
In the moonlight, his figure looked particularly slender, but he could not hide his worry for his beloved.
"Caichen, why are you here? Go away." Nie Xiaoqian's tone was filled with both surprise and reproach. Her hair fluttered gently in the night breeze, and her eyes, like water, reflected Ning Caichen's nervous face.
Ning Caichen took a breath and said anxiously, "Xiao Qian, I can't leave you alone. I heard that Yan Chixia, he... he might be a murderer. I'm worried that you will be in danger."
"Passed, next round." Zhang Yimou confirmed the shot again. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt very pleased with the performance of Zhang Qiurui and Zhang Guorong.
Both scenes were simple and could be shot in one take, which gave Zhang Yimou full confidence for the subsequent filming.
"A Chinese Ghost Story, scene one, third shot, scene one, Ike God."
"Oh no, Xiaoqing is here. Come in quickly and hide in the bathtub. Don't show up." Nie Xiaoqian noticed Xiaoqing's arrival and quickly pulled Ning Caichen into the bathtub and pushed his head in.
Ning Caichen struggled a few times in the water, but due to Nie Xiaoqian's eagerness and persistence, he could only hold his breath and curl up in the narrow space of the bathtub.
"Xiaoqing, why are you here?"
"I..., that's not right, why is there a human smell?" Xiaoqing came in, sniffed, and noticed a strange smell in the air that didn't belong here.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes began to search around the room, finally settling on the bathtub.
"Ka! Xiaojie, be suspicious but also ruthless. The ghost girl Xiaoqing you play is jealous of Nie Xiaoqian's favor from the grandmother. She is eager to find something to hold against Nie Xiaoqian and make her disappear.
Start over." At this time, Zhang Yimou called out "Cut" and came over to give Lan Jieying instructions.
"Director Mou, I get it. Let's do it again." This was Lan Jieying's first time acting. She was a little nervous and her palms were slightly sweaty. She knew where she went wrong, and with the director's guidance, she quickly understood.
........。
In the following days, I was either on the way to filming or on the way to filming.
Zhang Yimou knew that Zhang Qiurui would attend several award ceremonies later, so he filmed Zhang Qiurui's personal scenes and the scenes of Zhang Qiurui and Zhang Guorong first.
The scenes with Zhang Guorong and others will be filmed later.
Until October 30th, Zhang Qiurui went to Taiwan to attend the Golden Horse Awards.
Luo Lan, Cheng Huimin, Zou Wenhuai and Zhang Qiurui flew to Wanwan in the afternoon. When they arrived in Wanwan, it was already five o'clock. After dinner and meeting with the judges, they arranged their performance time. Zhang Qiurui put on his suit and waited.
The Wanwan Golden Horse Awards ceremony was star-studded, with filmmakers from all walks of life gathering together to witness this annual film event.
As the guests walked across the red carpet one by one, Zhang Qiurui, dressed in a small suit, looked sassy and cool. The moment he stepped onto the red carpet, he immediately attracted the attention of countless spotlights.
Walking on the red carpet, Zhang Qiurui smiled confidently and calmly, stopping from time to time to wave to the media.
"Director Zhang, I'm Lin Qingxia. I really like The Fault in Our Stars and The Piano Tuner directed by Director Zhang. If there are suitable roles, please recommend me to your department." When Zhang Qiurui arrived at the venue, Zou Wenhuai took Zhang Qiurui to introduce the CEOs of Wanwan's film and television companies. Just after she sat down, a gentle and enthusiastic voice came from the side.
Zhang Qiurui turned her head and saw a lady in a gorgeous long dress with outstanding temperament smiling at her. It was Lin Qingxia, who was known as the "Oriental Beauty".
At this time, Lin Qingxia was only 26 years old, in the prime of her youth, beautiful and heroic. She was also very versatile and could play both gentle and virtuous women as well as heroic characters. She was a rare all-round actor in the Chinese film industry.
