apples more than anything

Chapter 15 Apple Skins and Characters

As dusk approached, Song Pingguo put all the vegetables into the pot, put all the pots on the fire, and then fell down on the sofa exhausted, looking for any TV programs to pass the time.

Then she felt that it would be better to return to the most primitive social activity of human beings - chatting, rather than pulling out a watchable one from the current TV shows.

And there just so happens to be a good conversation partner in the house.

"Don't get me wrong, not all of us are as crazy as Leiqiu." Xu Ran clarified for herself before the conversation began, "Generally speaking, it is difficult for us to keep up with her thoughts."

"I understand, I understand." Song Pingguo's face was full of concern, "Has Leiqiu always been like this?"

"more or less?"

Sometimes, time can bring unimaginable changes to people.

Growing up sounds like a very long process, but sometimes it only takes a short night to completely change a person's thoughts and concepts, and then everything that used to be changed unconsciously.

There are inevitably exceptions to this.

Exceptions like Raichu.

According to Xu Ran, Lei Qiu was a unique flower when she was in the opera school. She had a good relationship with everyone, but no one knew what was going on in her head—including Neither does their beloved Teacher Pichu.

The usual Leiqiu is enthusiastic, helpful, and polite. She never speaks secretly, and is very popular among male and female students—but no one really knows what is going on in her head. .

She seems to have no troubles to confide, no unwillingness to complain, no adolescent worries to talk about, her life seems to exist only on the stage, and after she walks off the stage, she doesn't need to have more complicated thoughts, just eat and drink, maintain the lowest power consumption.

Carefree, no worries, as long as the box lunch is delicious, I will do my best, and as long as I have a full stomach, I can happily wait for the next role.

Over the years, she has never changed.

"A person lives for [-] days, every day is happy!" is Leiqiu's motto.

Therefore, Leiqiu thinks that the most important thing in filming is the sense of security, because for her, the sense of security is something that she does not have to fight for. She can forget everything outside the stage anytime, anywhere.

As long as he doesn't worry about being hungry, Raichu doesn't worry about anything.

Indeed, the communication with Xu Ran made Song Pingguo regain the feeling of communicating with ordinary people. They chatted casually for a while, and when it was completely dark, Lei Qiu came back.

"I'm exhausted!" Lei Qiu went in and out of Song Pingguo's house now as if he went in and out of his own house, "That Gong Xiao really wanted to stay in the same place, I almost gave her a concussion."

As she spoke, she fell onto the sofa and looked up at Song Pingguo, "Little Apple, what are you having for dinner?"

"You don't have dinner."

"Song Pingguo, what's for dinner?"

"There's fish soup, and stewed rice with mushrooms."

Before Leiqiu cheered, there was a knock on the door. Song Pingguo ran to open the door, and saw a thin courier boy standing at the door.The courier brother asked with a face full of tears, "Do you know when the person across from your house will come back?"

"I'm here!" Lei Qiu yelled on the sofa, "Is there a courier?"

"Yes..." The courier brother wiped the sweat off his face, "See if you can get someone to help move it..."

Lei Qiu and Song Pingguo arrived downstairs, only then did they realize why the courier brother was in such a difficult situation.

On the ground at the door of the unit, there were three huge crates.Without even smelling the fruity aroma, Raichu knew that the three crates must be full of apples sent from his hometown.

"Oh... I told them not to send so much, and spend so much courier fees..." Leiqiu said, he lifted a box from the ground and carried it on his shoulders as if nothing had happened, "Apple, help me carry one too. , I'll take you to a box."

Song Pingguo sighed, and reluctantly accepted the title Apple.Although she is not as strong as Leiqiu, she is also the one in the kitchen who can shake the pot with one hand and carry the whole box of lunch on the stairs. After taking a breath, she also moved the box up. Before going up the stairs, she turned her head and greeted The courier brother who was stunned: "Can you move the remaining one?"

The courier boy was dumbfounded.

Song Pingguo piled three crates together with her ingredients in the corner, took a few apples out of them and put them on the table: "Peel some to eat first?"

Raichu nodded vigorously, his eyes sparkling.

Leiqiu had just graduated from elementary school when she was taken by her master Piqiu to learn opera. The only thing she knew about Peking opera was the Chinese opera "Sheng Dan Jing Mo Chou" and the Chinese opera "Mei Lanfang for Exercise your eyes and read the text of pigeons every day.

She didn't know that she had such a pair of eyes, as if chasing an invisible bird in the air, with agility and cunning gifted by God, clearly reflecting every emotion.

When not acting, Raichu likes to stare at the same spot.She was either busy eating, trying to figure out a role, or just staring blankly.

Now she is staring at Song Pingguo's hand peeling an apple.

Song Pingguo's knives are exquisite, everyone knows this, after all, she can be regarded as a semi-professional chef, and she will go home to inherit the restaurant if she can't sell her lunch boxes in the future. Go home and grow apples, but she doesn't know how to grow apples.

When she was in the kitchen, Song Pingguo had her usual knife, and the silver tool box looked like an insider to an outsider.That insider vibe that bunny aprons and apple bandanas just can't.

When peeling apples, she used ordinary fruit knives that cost nine yuan each in the supermarket.

Song Pingguo's thumb slightly pressed the position to be cut next, controlling the direction in which the apple rotated in his hand, the fruit knife walked around the apple without any pause, and cut out a long Long apple skin, and an apple with a very smooth surface.

Before going to film "The Old Man Still Singing", Leiqiu came to Hengdian for the sole purpose of acting as a reasonable supporting role and fulfilling his parents' wish to see himself on TV. However, while filming, Leiqiu felt that I began to appreciate the charm of acting in TV dramas.

When she stands on the stage, she must let the audience see her movements clearly and feel her emotions, and no matter how forbearing the performance is, it must be a little exaggerated.But now, the camera faithfully records every detail, from eyes to movements, from movements to demeanor, and the audience will have a panoramic view.

This is invisibly a kind of pressure, but for Raichu, it is a good thing that makes her more excited and eager to try.

Shan Siyan is a person with a flamboyant and sharp personality. In the early days, she protected her gentle and weak brother in every way, but as her brother grew into a qualified emperor step by step, her personality also changed.At the end of the whole play, Shan Siyan is the image of a silent and forbearing counselor.

Lei Qiu felt that from the very beginning, "Old People Still Singing" regards the growth of characters as a very important element, and almost no characters remain unchanged from the beginning to the end. The delicate description of psychological changes is one of the most attractive parts of this book , but when it comes to filming, it's a bit difficult for an actor.

It is impossible to follow the sequence of the script when filming a TV series. Maybe in the last scene, Shan Siyan was still encouraging his younger brother to send troops to quell the chaos. Shan Jinxiu's prejudice, sometimes he has to point out the country with full force, and then lowers his body to beg... It is very difficult to show the gradual growth of the character under such conditions.

Raichu can't be bothered.

Every character is like an apple that has not been peeled. She is the blade, and she cannot peel off too much flesh because of her clumsiness. As Song Pingguo said, the blade should be smooth and flexible, and the The shape is cut decisively.

This is a world that is similar to the drama but completely different. Leiqiu still can't see the whole picture of this world. She only knows that she will like it here.

"Originally, I wanted to go back to the repertory theater troupe after the filming of old friends. The director always called me and complained that there was a lack of people in the troupe, and told me to go back when I was free." Lei Qiu took a bite Apple, "Now that I think about it, it's really fun. After the filming is over, I'll have to ask Gong Xiaoye what other novels she wants to remake, and I'll shoot for her."

The crew of "Old People Are Still Singing" was originally dubbed by Lei Qiu as the "Grass Team", but the performance of this grass team was unexpectedly good. In Xia Yiming's words, "This TV series has nothing but you, Mr. There are basically no faults in the few paragraphs dangling next to it."

Later, Lei Qiu thought about it carefully, and Gong Xiao also looked unreliable on the surface, but she had a bit of talent for knowing people.

Moreover, the director she chose Xia Yiming's aesthetics is relatively up to standard, so she won't make a superficial ancient novel into a popular Taobao mix and match fantasy style, and she has told a story in a down-to-earth manner with limited conditions. She also came to the scene to have a look, pulled Sang Zhi to take a group photo, said that Sang Zhi was the Fang Che that appeared in her mind when she was writing, and she wanted to be a fan of Sang Zhi from now on.

However, after she saw Lei Qiu, she only praised Lei Qiu's acting skills, and didn't ask for a group photo or shake hands.

Lei Qiu comforted himself a little, thinking that maybe Bailiming just prefers the role of Fang Che.

Afterwards, she couldn't help finding a place where no one was around and shouted, "I'm really desperate for this face-seeking world!"
