As soon as Gu Dong got off the car, she saw many people standing at the entrance of the film and television base waiting for her.
"Hello, long time no see." As soon as she got off the car, she greeted them like old friends.
"Dongdong, long time no see. Are you here to film The Great Yong Dynasty?"
Her fans have probably all seen "Popular Movies".
Gu Dong took the flowers they gave him and said, "Yeah, you all know about this?"
“Thank you for the flowers.”
"You're welcome, Dongdong, just focus on filming."
Today's movie fans are very rational. They will be very happy just to meet her, give her a bouquet of flowers and chat with her for a few minutes.
They cannot enter the film and television base, but they can take a photo with Gu Dong when the base is open for visits.
Gu Dong walked over with the flowers in his arms. The director was bending over and adjusting the equipment.
She patted his shoulder: "Director Jiang, I'm here."
Jiang Ren turned around, a smile on his handsome, angular face: "You're here."
Gu Dong chatted with him for a few words, then put the flowers on the table and went into the dressing room to change clothes and put on makeup.
When she came out, she was already in costume.
Jiang Ren placed the bouquet of flowers in a vase, with water droplets on them, blooming in the sunlight.
“It looks very nice.”
"Do you like flowers?"
Gu Dong smiled and said, "Yes, I like everything beautiful."
Jiang Ren shook his head, seeming somewhat helpless.
Then he asked, "Have you read the script? We're going to shoot the early stages of the story today."
"Everything is ready. When will Li Yizhou come?"
Jiang Ren lowered his head to look at the script and said, "He doesn't have a role today."
Li Yizhou is the second male lead, and his role is mainly in the later part of the plot, so he doesn't need to come to shoot now.
Gu Dong nodded.
I'll take another look at the script while I have time.
The script in her hand was sent to her by Jiang Ren. At that time, she was filming her previous drama when she received a call from him asking if she wanted to film his first TV series.
When Gu Dong met Jiang Ren, one of them was a new actor and the other was a director's assistant, both of them were unknown.
At that time, they agreed that if there was an opportunity in the future, they would direct and act in a drama together.
I didn't expect this day to come so soon.
After receiving the script, Gu Dong spent a day and a night reading it and immediately decided to act in the role.
The agency thought that the director of this drama was not famous enough and the historical subject matter was too difficult to stand out, so they were not very optimistic about it.
Moreover, the price Gu Dong would have to pay was too high, and after evaluation, they felt it was not worth it.
But Gu Dong did not waver, she must act!
She has acted in many plays, but she has never encountered a script that she likes so much.
Furthermore, it was directed by Jiang Ren, so she really wanted to fulfill the original agreement.
The agency was unable to influence Gu Dong and finally had to agree.
In order to act in this drama, Gu Dong first needed to lose weight. She actually has a very good figure and meets the standards for being photogenic.
But in the early part of the script, the heroine is a young country woman. The weather is dry and the fields have no harvest. She also encounters tyranny and her whole family almost starves to death.
So her figure should be very thin, preferably just a bag of bones.
With the help of his brother Gu Xia, Gu Dong successfully lost more than ten pounds and looked much thinner.
The sleeves of the clothes I wore before looked empty.
After changing into that gray costume and putting on makeup, she looked even thinner.
Agent He Mingdu said: "With this costume, he looks exactly like a refugee."
The Yong Dynasty, Scene 1
During the Dagan Dynasty, one year after the heroine Jiang Qingqing got married, her little daughter was born and is now two months old.
The land had been dry for a long time, and the court had not allocated any relief grain, and the government also ordered farmers to pay taxes.
In Jiang Qingqing's home, her parents-in-law starved themselves to death in order to leave the remaining food for her and her husband.
As the last of the food was about to run out, the villagers decided to flee together.
The husband protected the mother and daughter all the way, but was intercepted by soldiers halfway. In order to let the mother and daughter leave, the husband blocked the knife with his own body.
Jiang Qingqing fled alone with her child in her arms, finally getting rid of the officers and soldiers.
In this scene, Jiang Qingqing, played by Gu Dong, witnessed the death of her husband and had to escape with her children without even having time to grieve.
Only when I ran to a safe place did I dare to cover my mouth and cry.
"Qingqing, run."
Jiang Qingqing could not forget the way her husband looked before he died. She ran into the woods, holding her child and crying bitterly.
This crying scene had to show Jiang Qingqing's pain, but she had to remain silent because she was afraid of being discovered.
Gu Dong's acting skills are superb, and this crying scene is not difficult for her.
It's just that the child in my arms is hard to control.
When running with the child in my arms, I was afraid of dropping him or her, or of him or her crying.
"Cut." After the scene was finally finished, the agent pulled Gu Dong up and gave her a tissue to wipe her tears.
Gu Dong took a moment to calm down before taking out her cosmetics to touch up her makeup.
Then he ran to the director and asked, "How is it?"
Jiang Ren nodded: "Not bad, your eyesight is very good."
Afterwards, they filmed the supporting role's scenes. Gu Dong watched from the side and found that Jiang Ren's shots were very harmonious.
The scenery and characters seem to have a harmonious artistic beauty.
After hearing her words, Jiang Ren smiled and said, "Every director has a different aesthetic for shots. I prefer to make people resonate with their surroundings."
The pictures he took were like paintings, and Gu Dong felt that he looked much better in his lens.
The following shots are all about Jiang Qingqing's life in the village, her interactions with her husband, and scenes of her taking care of her children.
This part of the play was easy for Gu Dong.
