Since 1983

At night, the brick factory is brightly lit.

They had been filming from the afternoon until after eight o'clock, and now they had time to take a break. They gathered together in twos and threes, waiting for a certain assistant director to come and deliver the meal in person.

In the built office, Xu Fei was scraping the mud off his shoes. It was so dry, he scraped it with a knife, and a large piece fell off.

When the two shoes were cleaned up, there was a beeping of the horn outside, and the assistant director started to shout: Dinner is ready! Dinner is ready!

Xu Fei went out with the rice bowl, and saw that there were already a lot of people lined up, and Zhao Baogang was with another theater manager, guarding the three big buckets. A bucket of rice, a bucket of stewed cabbage in lard, and a bucket of stewed potatoes in sauce.

He didn't bother to subdivide it, so he directly topped two potatoes with rice, stirred them with a spoon, and went back to the office to eat.

Not long after, several staff members came in, and Zhao Baogang and Feng Trousers also entered the room with rice bowls in their hands, cursing, Damn it, don't go to that dilapidated restaurant again, and bring a temporary price increase!

Where did you order it?

Shunyi County, there are only two companies doing this business, and I picked the bastard's.

The taste is not very good, hey, is this sweet noodle sauce?

Isn't it sweet noodle sauce?

I'm not used to it, so give it to you.

Xu Fei pulled the potato steak into Zhao Baogang's bowl, Next time I go home, I'll get you some Northeast miso.

Don't mind me, I still can't get used to your taste. Zhao Baogang shook his head.

Feng's trousers were smashed by the side, It's really not very good, why don't you get some scallions, soak some soy sauce and mix it, it's delicious and you can eat it.

Hey, why are you so particular about it? Is it easy for me to transport it all the way, and why don't I go alone, just the two of us!

In the later generations, those who order boxed lunches are quite lucrative. A boxed lunch is five yuan, and they will give you twenty, and you can earn hundreds of thousands after filming a film.

Of course it can't work now, Zhao Baogang has the name of an assistant director, and he still does the production work. Originally, there were three production staff, and one of them was temporarily selected.

Where did that person go, why didn't he do it?

It is said that I am asking for some connections, and I am going to go abroad.

Well, let's see who can't find it now, Zhunbao is going abroad. I'm surprised, what's wrong with our country, why do you have to desperately wash dishes for capitalists? Feng trousers knocked on the rice bowl, Outraged.

He really didn't wash the dishes, but said he wanted to study abroad.

Everyone was chatting, when the door suddenly opened, Lin Ruwei also came in with a rice bowl.

The old lady was short, but she stood in the middle, and she was naturally stylish, Let's use this time to have a small meeting. After more than half a day of rehearsal, the progress is quite slow, mainly because the leading role is not proficient in business and cannot reach Require.

You have all seen it, Xiao Hu's face is as hard as wax, and his emotions are not in place. So I was thinking of a way just now, isn't he not emotional enough, let's help him cultivate.

Let me tell you, no one is allowed to talk to him after dinner, just isolate him, let him be lonely and uncomfortable, and experience Zhou Zhiming's feelings well.

puff!

Xu Fei almost laughed out loud, but seeing the seriousness of the old lady, he knew it was not a joke.

In the film and television industry these days, directors are not very professional, actors are not very dexterous, and they are all stiff and dull. Theoretical knowledge is weak, let alone training actors.

The old lady graduated from Nortel in the 1950s, so she still knew a little bit, so she came up with this kind of weird experiential technique.

Feng Trousers found it interesting and asked, You mean, we don't have to talk to him anymore?

I have to talk about things at work, but I usually talk nonsense, and no one is allowed to talk to him.

Then when will it end?

When will the filming be over, and when will it be over?

That, old lady...

Xu Fei thought about it, and said: Your method is long-term, and there must be a process of training, isn't it still not working during this period? I have a spot-on technique that can bring out his emotions.

How to bring it?

It's hard to talk about it. If you trust me, I'll try it tomorrow.

...

Lin Ruwei looked at him, Okay, then you can try it. And remember, this is a secret, no one is allowed to tell Xiao Hu.

She wiped her body and walked out, scratching her hands again, Gangzi, where did you order the rice? I'm not used to sweet swish, next time I'll make miso!

Hey, miso, miso. Zhao Baogang pouted.

………………

Xiagezhuang is not far from Shunyi, and this county town became the foothold of the crew.

If I finish work early, I will go back to the city, and when I finish work late, I will spend the night in the only hotel in the county. The equipment was not moved back and forth, but put in the brick factory. The old man stared at him like he was hunting down class enemies.

The hotel is very small, basically a Datong shop, and a shop costs 50 cents a piece. There is no place to take a shower, tired and sweaty, and lay down there with clothes on, the front, back, left, and right are men, and the whole person is sublimated.

For some reason, when Xu Fei fell asleep for the first time, he suddenly remembered a certain episode in The Ordinary World.

I can't remember clearly, it seems that Sun Shaoping went to the construction site to move bricks and slept in Datong shop at night. The workers don’t wear any clothes, they have dark bodies, they get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, one on the left, one on the right...

It's amazing, anyway, I dealt with it all night in a daze, and continued to work the next day.

In the scene in the morning, it was filming the meals of reform-through-labour prisoners. Zhou Zhiming was bullied again, robbed of his new coat, and sent to empty the slop.

The scene is the cell being built, with two rows of wooden beds, supported by bricks underneath, covered with broken straw mats and thin quilts. Before the filming started, Xu Fei and Feng Pants made a special inspection.

There's always something missing.

What's missing? I think it looks good. I have everything I need. Feng Pants was puzzled.

It's just that everything that should be there is there, so it seems that the artificial traces are heavy...

He looked back and forth, and slapped his hands suddenly, I don't live, yes, I just don't live! Guan Jingqing? Guan Jingqing?

Brother Fei, what's the matter?

The kid ran in.

Tie a rope on both sides, and get some towels and jackets to tie them on, and bring some water.

Just hang the clothes?

That's right.

Then I understand.

Guan Jingqing ran away and came back not long after. He strung a hemp rope in the house, put on some towels and a vest, and it was still damp.

...

Feng Pants watched the whole process, and had to admit that it was indeed more natural than before.

Learned another trick.

After the preparations here, a dozen extra performers came over, wearing black gown coats, some were shirtless inside, and some white gowns were added.

Zhao Baogang brought two more buckets, one was steamed corn bread and the other was wild vegetable soup.

In the 1970s, food was improved every week, so no one would have enough to eat. The serious Zamian steamed buns are rough, and it takes a lot of throat just to look at them.

Two steamed corn buns per person, one bowl of wild vegetable soup, divide them up first.

Lin Xuezhu checked again, Ready, ready!

start!

As soon as the voice fell, everyone started to eat with rice bowls.

A buddy picked up Zhou Zhiming's newly issued white coat, threw it to the boss, and then gave him the boss's old coat.

Shen Junyi swayed over, just like the kind of thing that happens in every group. There are too many things to talk about. Look left, look right, and approach one person, You haven't worked all day, Can you eat it?

I don't have enough to eat! said the group.

Hey!

Shen Junyi wiped her body and turned to Hu Yajie, reached out and grabbed a cornbread, and threw it to the group of performers, Eat it!

The group acted proudly and took a bite.

stop!

Lin Ruwei couldn't bear it any longer, so he started lecturing with a loudspeaker: You are reform-through-labour prisoners in the brick factory, heavy manual laborers, and you have to eat twice a day. If you encounter food, you will be like hungry wolves. Why are you all like adults? Like a girl? That young man, can't you just bite?

No, it's not delicious! The group of actors felt wronged.

You have to eat even if it doesn't taste good, this is filming!

The old lady's working condition was extremely scary, and she got angry. Then I took a few more pictures. I ate it, but it didn’t feel right, as if I was being forced to eat it.

The reason why the 1987 version of Dream of Red Mansions is a classic is that it is willing to spend time on the actors. Half a year of intensive training, and they kept learning while filming. The teacher taught them hand in hand, and the children worked even harder on their own.

A lot of hard work added up, and finally achieved a classic.

But Plainclothes Police is different. It has 12 episodes, less funds, and realistic themes. No matter how you train, it will be thrown into the police station to experience life at most.

More depends on the quality of the actors themselves. And the group of performers at the moment are all non-professionals, so it's not easy for them to perform accurately.

Lin Ruwei yelled to stop again, his head hurting.

Lin Xuezhu had nothing to do, Zhao Baogang and Feng Xuezhu were still squatting nearby to observe, so Xu Fei came over, Old lady, how about I tell them?

(besides……)
