Chapter 381
She is not only watching her own performance, but also watching Tang Bing's camera language
Inside the training hall.
Jing Xinyi, who had just finished training, was leaning against the wall and gasping for breath.
She wanted to sit down, but her mind told her not to sit because it would lead to insufficient blood circulation and the body would secrete more lactic acid.
She gritted her teeth and walked slowly with the help of her assistant. After a few minutes, her breathing became normal again.
Seeing that her back was wet, the agent quickly urged her to go to the shower, wash her hair, and change into fresh and clean clothes.
Although sweating profusely is proof of hard work, if you are photographed with your hair sticking to your face, that will be an ugly picture that will be used by haters forever.
Seeing that her face was still pale, the agent couldn't help but mutter, "Look at you, you are usually so smart, why are you so stupid here? There are no cameras in the training hall, why are you going through so much trouble?"
"You better take it easy. Don't become a Barbie doll. It won't look good if you are covered in muscles!"
Jing Xinyi was too lazy to waste words with him. She was still tired at the moment, so she just nodded perfunctorily to indicate that she heard it.
There were indeed no cameras during the training process, but were there no cameras during the filming? She had finally gotten in touch with Ling Suisui, and she would never let this collaboration be the last.
After returning to the hotel, Jing Xinyi did not rest, but took another two hours of Cantonese class.
She knew she had no talent for languages, so she could only practice more, listen more and speak more. As a northerner who could not understand Cantonese at all before, she no longer needs subtitles when watching Hong Kong dramas.
Only before going to bed does Jing Xinyi have time to check her phone.
Today's hot search list belongs to "Easy As Pie". In fact, Ou San is not well-known in China. From Cannes Berlin to this Venice, it was only after Ling Suisui was shortlisted with his work that it attracted a lot of attention in China.
It seems that there is only one Chinese-speaking actor who has been nominated for the three major European competitions and won an Oscar. If "Easy As Pie" can win an award this time, the value of this resume will be even more explosive.
No wonder the Venice Film Festival cleared the red carpet for her.
What others dream of is just Ling Sui’s standard equipment every time he attends an event.
Jing Xinyi's eyes were almost fixed on the phone screen. After she finished scrolling through Ling Sui's red carpet photos, she saw a screen full of praises. Even though there were a few discordant voices, she couldn't hide her anger, and she could smell the sourness even through the Internet cable.
This is the international superstar Ling Suisui… Until she closed her eyes and fell asleep, the image of her walking on the red carpet was still in Jing Xinyi’s mind.
No one wanted to invite her to attend the festival as a guest star, and she wasn't sure if her scenes would be cut.
Jing Xinyi tossed and turned, destined to suffer from insomnia tonight.
The main creators of "Easy As Pie" whom she deeply envied were not feeling relaxed at the moment.
In this screening room, Tang Bing and Ling Suisui knew the entire script very well, while many viewers had not even seen the trailer and were waiting for the surprise of the premiere.
And Chen Yuening, who is sandwiched between them - as the leading actor, he knows part of the plot, but cannot sort out the context of the entire movie. To be honest, he was also very curious about the story of Shen Hui and Qian Lan.
The film opens with a scene of an urban village.
What she heard was the noisy dialect, which woke up Qian Lan who was wrapped in a quilt. In the dim room, she fumbled to turn on the light, and the stimulating white light made her squint her eyes. She went to wash with a gloomy face and a frown on her face. The camera was focused on the mirror hanging on the wall. The obvious cracks reflected two of her.
Chen Yuening looked very carefully. Both this urban village and Qian Lan in this scene were things he had never seen when he was filming. At this moment he is an audience, but he also seems to be exploring Qian Lan's past life as a character.
Of course he would be curious about what kind of environment created the shape of her in his memory.
Ling Suisui was also watching the movie seriously. She was not only watching her own performance, but also watching Tang Bing's camera language.
Movies have such magical power that even though she is the absolute protagonist and she is familiar with the script, when all of this is presented in a visual and audio-visual way, it can still bring her a fresh experience.
The single room Qian Lan rented was a self-built building in an urban village. The environment there was very poor, but she did not have much choice as she was working hard in a big city.
She hurried downstairs, and the chickens that the landlord raised downstairs suddenly flew up. Qian Lan dodged in panic, and the camera followed the chicken flapping its wings. From this angle, its flying height was level with the top of the building in the distance.
But it was a domesticated chicken after all. When Qian Lan pushed open the door and ran to the bus stop, it folded its wings and landed on the ground.
Qian Lan had already run far away. The landlord's words scolding the chicken, "You are not a bird" and "No matter how high you fly, you still have to come down", could only be mixed in the messy background noise and could not float into Qian Lan's ears, who was in a hurry.
Is there a foreshadowing here? Ling Suisui, who had very sensitive ears, thought.
At this time, the camera has switched to a bird's-eye view, and Qian Lan, who is moving through the urban village, is not running fast.
She was carrying a bag and had to pay attention to the water and dirt that might appear on the road at any time, and whether an electric bike would appear from behind. She had to pass by several garbage can areas and had to cover her mouth and nose every time.
As the camera moves away, Qian Lan becomes smaller and smaller, and the overhead shot expands from the urban village to a larger area. The camera switched perspectives, and the drone hovering in the sky left the area and flew towards the city center.
Qian Lan caught the bus during the morning rush hour and she struggled to move forward in the crowded space. The young man next to her was browsing the drone ban regulations on his mobile phone. Qian Lan took out her headphones and played her favorite music.
Halfway through her song, the scene switched during the interlude, and the sound source also obviously changed.
Although the same song is playing, the sound effects are completely different. It does not require a very professional level of appreciation, and the audience with good hearing can distinguish between good and bad sound quality.
Looking at this scene, Ling Suisui knew that it was Chen Hui who appeared.
The camera first showed a very expensive speaker - Ling Suisui couldn't remember the specific brand, but she had a video call with Chi Jia during filming and inadvertently let the speaker enter the camera.
At that time, Chi Jia exclaimed "Wow!" and kept asking her to move the camera closer and take some close-ups. However, he did not ask her to play a song. After all, the sound quality transmitted would be greatly reduced, so there was no need for that.
Ling Suisui had heard it live, and was even more astonished at the time. It is still good now, but it is still a little bit different.
By the way, these are not props arranged by the crew, but props from the mansion that Ai Tianming lent to them.
The drone flew into the mansion, and the camera rotated to reveal Shen Hui facing the computer screen.
She sat in a comfortable chair, and her right hand, which was adorned with a jeweled ring, pushed her hair behind her ear. Her study has excellent lighting, and the sun casts a beautiful golden glow on her, making her look gentle and beautiful, as if the Creator was not stingy in piling all kinds of praise on her.
A uniformed butler came into the study and asked her if she wanted to put the drone away.
"Throw it away, it's not fun." Chen Hui said nonchalantly, "I don't keep useless things here."
The author has something to say:
*"As Easy as Pie" is set in a modern fictional setting.
