Chapter 1107: Cold "Departure Master"

This is a small street. According to the story background, it is located in the suburbs of the city. There are no high-rise buildings or prosperous business. Buses that enter the city from the end of the ring road bring people here into the commercial prosperity of high-rise buildings.

The area composed of small streets does not need these.

The commercial street of the Lost City is enclosed in an area. According to the business atmosphere here, this area should also be a shop selling tourist goods.

I guessed half right. There will be a small street with shops here, but behind the small street, there will be a tourist inn and rental courtyard that looks like a residential house. Hot spring water will be brought into the house. You can sit on the rooftop area and look at the Lost City in the distance or the big business district on the other side. In a place far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, drink a cup of tea, hold a leisure book in your hand, and enjoy your vacation here while waiting for your ticket to be lined up.

The main film area that is not open to the public has been built long ago. The small streets inside are already bustling. You can see that every shop is open. For the filming, the shops are not opened for tourism for the time being, but a small street in a normal gathering area. There are small supermarkets, hardware stores, grocery stores, delicatessens, and vegetable and fruit stores. Just like the main streets of towns under various cities, they are all shops that exist for the daily necessities of the surrounding people, such as mobile phones, banks, clothing stores, and restaurants. Basically, there will not be too many duplications here. The market is not that big, and the fierce competition will end the existence of too many people with a quick victory or defeat. Those future inns and rental courtyards are now built to cooperate with the filming.

This is one of the main scenes of "The Undertaker", a small street in the suburbs where the undertaker Chen Bin and his family live.

In the distance, a funeral home was specially built. This funeral home is not a complete physical construction. The exterior can be used for filming, and some scenes inside can be used for filming. When the filming of the film is completed, this scene will be completely demolished.

In a "house" near the street, Chen Hao and Xu Jinglei are "decorating" their home. Although there are other people in the house, most of the real scenes happen between the two of them.

Chen Bin's character is in four completely different states when he works alone, socializes outside, faces his family at home, and faces his wife in the room. He doesn't want to use very strong visual conflicts and emotional outbursts to show the four different states, which is split personality. What he wants to express is a man's game state for his life.

Xu Jinglei read the latest script. She has more requirements for the home she lives in because she feels the power of the script. She hopes to arrange every point of this home by herself to match the feeling that the script should present, which is also in line with some of her shooting habits. The haze feeling released is no wonder that Chen Hao said that this film is not suitable for release in the mainland. It does not rely on the tearing and exposure in the picture to attract attention. There is a scene that is interspersed in the plot with a very ordinary family atmosphere. When Xu Jinglei saw the new script of this scene, she felt a cold sense of horror.

"Add two luxury clothes here, and I will put two bags in the room."

"There should be two sets of cosmetics on the dressing table, one set of ordinary brand cosmetics to be placed at home, and some cosmetics suitable for temporary makeup touch-ups when going out, such as Chanel or Dior."

"We are shooting a set of wedding photos. I hope that there will be a set of shots that can directly capture the wedding photos hanging on the wall and most of the bed scenes during the shooting."

"The kitchen and the entire living room, I want to be particularly clean, all the furnishings in the house must be orderly and orderly, especially from the entrance to the reception area in the living room, which must reflect the family's quality of life. The elderly room and the children's room should be swapped so that people in the living room cannot see the elderly opening the door. Everything in the room."

"I still like the floor, pure solid wood, the feeling of stepping on it is different from that of tiles."

"In the yard, there are flowers and plants, which are beautiful but not practical. There are no small vegetables for home that the elderly like to grow."

Xu Jinglei has stayed here for a day, constantly making requests to the crew. No matter who will execute the effect in the later stage, she only looks at the effect. She has become accustomed to the feeling that Chen Hao's crew is so well prepared. She will not feel that her requirements are excessive or too much. Details have always been the most important. When shooting family scenes, if it is not necessary to be messy, there will be some dust on the table or TV, and the staff will be deducted from the corresponding bonus.

Xu Jinglei, who is also a successful director and one of the most successful female directors in the mainland, controls the details and the overall situation not only from the perspective of actors, but also has a strong aura on the scene. When Chen Hao does not speak in this house, it also corresponds to the positioning of the relationship between the two in the script, so Xu Jinglei is also the best choice.

She was the most authentic rock star among all the old-timers in Yanjing. At this age, she has already become a proper person. If she wants to go crazy and shoot a movie, she will definitely throw herself into it crazily, regardless of cause and effect or profit. From her love for "Departures" to the increasingly bland and dark script, she was completely attracted. She is no longer at the age of showing her acting skills through intense scenes. Her scenes in this movie are basically about family matters, but it is in these scenes that she can almost satisfy all the pursuits of an actress for acting.

You can show off all kinds of scenes and you can show off your talent.

"Here, a clothes hanger should be placed at the entrance. This clothes hanger is exclusive to the male owner. When he enters the room from the yard with slippers, his clothes and hats must be hung here. They cannot wear them into the house. Use Liu Miao (Xu Jinglei's character) thinking mode, she doesn't like the smell of her husband." Old Xu stood at the door with his arms folded, and after a long time, he spoke again.

The filming of "The Embalmer" was about to start, and many people were paying close attention to it. As a good friend, Xiaogangpao appeared on the scene. Chen Hao knew that he was the most suitable person to come. As for whether he came for himself or to watch for someone Watching Lao Xu's play, the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

At Chen Hao's age, those stories and legends belong to the previous generation. He can find out the truth, but he is too lazy to scan and listen. He doesn't like to do that kind of prying into other people's privacy.

Sometimes he inquires about other people's affairs so that he knows what he knows, but he doesn't need to. He has been around until now, and he has enough capital to be able to stand proudly in the face of anyone. Those messy things in the circle, don't come to me. Damn, I’m really in a hurry, I’ve offended you old guys, and you’ll be the ones looking for embarrassment all over the place.

"drink wine?"

"drink wine."

We are all old friends. We say hello and go to the hotel again. After drinking too much, we can sleep directly in the hotel without going to any restaurant. We find a guest room and have someone bring a table. Everyone pulls up the chairs. It doesn’t matter what you eat or drink. It doesn’t need to be good, just a waiter, what is needed is a conversational atmosphere.

"Will this film compete in the Best Foreign Language Film category at the Oscars?" Lao Xu's boldness has always been recognized. He raised his glass and made a toast, facing Chen Hao, and directly said what he was thinking.

Chen Hao nodded.

"Here, let's drink to the increasingly cold script." Lao Xu raised his glass.

Xiaogangpao, who was looking at the script at the side, raised his head at this time and picked up the wine glass in front of him: "It's worth a drink, Haozi, your script is too cruel. There is no way it will be released in China." , are you really willing?"

After he finished speaking, he immediately thought of something and shook his head with a bitter smile. He raised his glass and drank all the wine in it: "I guess I said something wrong."

He dares to make this film, which has completely subverted his own image and even made some female fans fear him. Will he not give up some box office profits? Moreover, with his influence, this film was deliberately shot at a low cost, and it will not encounter any big obstacles when it is released in the United States. With the support of overseas box office, with his investment amount, even if it is only released in Hong Kong, There is no pressure to recover costs.

After drinking a glass of wine, Xiaogangpao lit a cigarette: "Oh, you guys really dare to write. My "1942" is cruel enough, but it has the background of history. You are just You can play so hard in a small family circle. I can't wait to watch it. Don't forget to call me during the internal screening. "

Xu Jinglei felt the same way. She had just talked about a plot with Xiaogang Pao. As a professional actor, she didn't have any psychological pressure to act, nor would she feel that it would damage her image. Besides, the scene seemed insulting in the end - The humiliation scene is not the focus of that scene.

An ordinary family, an extraordinary job, a suburb of the city.

Chen Bin is the backbone of the family, with seniors and juniors. The whole family relies on his income as an undertaker. His fame and strength allow him to always get some big jobs, such as handling car accidents or accidents. It is the body of an accidental death that is put to final rest. He is always alone when working, in a dark and cold room. After work, his only hobby is reading. There are no people or anything in the working place. The social circle is two o'clock and one line every day, home and work.

He is such a person, engaged in such a job that makes people feel scared just looking at him, and he is so taciturn and does not interact with others. He should be a lonely existence in everyone's eyes.

Not at all. From colleagues at work to neighbors around my home, even though I don’t have in-depth contact with him, every time I meet him, I will get a very warm smile from him and he will take the initiative to say hello to you, which makes your understanding of him even though it is very superficial. , but the impression is very good.

In addition, he has a wife who is a good socializer and has a reputation as a virtuous person in the neighborhood...
