The movie "Taking a Bath" is a contemporary urban life ethics film with strong Beijing characteristics and full of warmth. Taking an ordinary old bathhouse in the imperial capital as the background, it revolves around the attitudes of two generations of Lao Liu's family towards bathhouses and bathing, reflecting the neighborhood, the relationship between father and son, brothers, and the conflicts, contradictions and integration of old and new ideas, and old and new culture.
The role of Xiuer in the film appears in the form of memories, and she is the sister of the protagonist Lao Liu. During his childhood, after his sister married away, the brother and sister never saw each other again.
The reason why Xiuer married far away was because she lived in a place with severe water shortage and water was more valuable than oil. People who lived there might only take a bath once in their lifetime while they were alive. Most women chose to take a bath. The day before the wedding.
For the sake of water, Xiuer chose to marry far away, to a man who knew nothing about his appearance, character, family situation, etc., and who was more than ten years older than her. Just because the matchmaker said that every house where this man lived had a well and the water there was freely available, she agreed to marry him without hesitation.
Director Zhang Yang's requirements for the actor who plays Xiu'er are first to look at the appearance, which makes people feel distressed and regretful, and then he also puts forward high requirements for acting skills, so he watched several actors in a row and was not satisfied.
During the PK with Wang Yuwen, Yuan Qiaoqiao left a very deep impression on Diao Yinan and Huo Xin. When the director couldn't find a suitable candidate for a long time, the two screenwriters of the film listened to his request and unanimously recommended her to him.
Xiu'er doesn't have many scenes, but her experience has a profound impact on his younger brother, Lao Liu. It reveals why Lao Liu opened a bathhouse when he grew up, and why he refused to separate from the bathhouse in the face of urban development and demolition.
Yuan Qiaoqiao's performance, who was recommended by Diao Yinan and Huo Xin to join the cast, went smoothly at first, but when it came to Xiu'er's highlight scene in the film, a scene where she took a shower the night before her wedding, something went wrong.
Since it¡¯s a bathing scene, it¡¯s inevitable to have nudity. Although this scene was filmed in a flesh-colored bodysuit, even if it was exposed, it was only the back. After the person got into the barrel, the front was shot, and the shoulders were exposed. Protective measures were taken throughout the process; and when filming, The place was cleared and only the necessary staff were left on site; but she was still extremely nervous.
She had never taken off her clothes in front of outsiders, and there were more than a dozen pairs of unfamiliar eyes staring at her, so when the shooting started, she was sitting on the kang, wearing an old-style red floral jacket, and her whole body was stiff, staring at the kang. Next, the steaming tub was placed in the middle of the floor, his eyes glazed over.
"Click!" Director Zhang saw Yuan Qiaoqiao's performance through the camera, helplessly shouted to stop, and walked to her, "Yuan Qiaoqiao, Xiu'er's emotions are very complicated right now.
The basin of bath water in front of her was obtained by her father and brother walking more than half of the mountain range, exchanging a bowl of rice for a bowl of water. It was extremely precious; and she was getting married tomorrow, to a stranger thousands of miles away from home. In this place, there are very few chances to see her relatives again; apart from knowing that the person she is going to marry is a man who is more than ten years older than her, she knows nothing about the rest, so at this time, she still has some worries about her future life. panic;¡
These emotions require you to express them. Based on your previous performance, I originally thought you could perform this scene well, but your emotions, body language, and facial expressions just now were all off-line. "
In fact, he didn¡¯t need to say anything. Yuan Qiaoqiao also knew that she had failed in her performance just now. She lowered her head and listened to Director Zhang¡¯s criticism without saying a word. After he finished speaking, she apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, director."
"Get ready to start." Director Zhang returned to the back of the machine, and the photography, lighting, recording, etc. started moving under his orders.
After taking several shots in a row, Yuan Qiaoqiao's performance was just not right. She finally got the mood right at the beginning, but once it was time to take off her clothes and unbutton her clothes, problems started to arise. Her limbs were stiff and her face looked like a heroic martyr. It's like rushing to the execution ground.
After a lot of sex, Director Zhang looked at Yuan Qiaoqiao, who was apologizing to him and the staff repeatedly. Looking at her apologetic face, tears rolled in her eyes, and she looked like she was about to cry. She looked so pitiful, and her words of reproach When it reached my throat, I couldn't spit it out, so I sighed and said, "Take a rest and wait a while before shooting again."
Walking aside, Zhang Yang and Qiao Fengwei, who played Xiuer's mother, said, "You are an old actor with rich acting experience, and you are a woman. You should go over and tutor her." He scratched his scalp anxiously and complained, "For the sake of art It¡¯s not uncommon for actors to show their bodies completely naked. There are protection measures, and the front is not exposed, just the back. Why is it so difficult!¡±
Qiao Fengwei, who didn¡¯t know Yuan Qiaoqiao¡¯s identity as a child star, helped her explain a few words. "Please be considerate of this little girl. She has just come into contact with movies. Even if she knows what art is and asks her to devote herself to art, not everyone can immediately??Things that can be done. Although protective measures have been taken and the front is not exposed, the shot of the exposed back is still very large, and there are so many people watching, so the little girl has to go through a psychological transformation and adaptation process. "
Zhang Yang wiped his face, smacked his lips and said, "I know, so I didn't shoot when she first joined the group, but left it until the end, but I didn't expect it wouldn't work.
The character Xiu'er didn't appear for a long time, and it was this important scene that supported her character and made her image fuller, so this scene is very important. This Yuan Qiaoqiao acted very well before, but why did she fall off her game at the critical moment? "
As a veteran actor who has been filming for many years, Qiao Fengwei certainly knows that directors hope that all their actors will do the same thing and not make any mistakes, but is it possible? Actors are people, not machines.
Faced with Zhang Yang's complaint, she smiled and said: "I'll try to talk to the little girl, but there's no guarantee it will work. If it doesn't work, just use a substitute. I'm a little girl who's not yet an adult. Let me go." It¡¯s normal not to open it, so director, don¡¯t hold her to too high a standard.¡±
Use a substitute? Zhang Yang opened his eyes wide and shook his head vigorously, "I had no intention of using a stand-in from the beginning to the end of this scene." He stretched out his hand and said, "Besides, if a stand-in is used, you can find one from the crew to be a stand-in. Is it a suitable candidate?"
If he had planned to use a stand-in, Zhang Yang would not have been so demanding when selecting actors. Moreover, the crew and some actors came all the way to northern Shaanxi to film Xiu'er's scene. Therefore, apart from Qiao Fengwei and Gu Qiaoqiao, the crew Apart from the two actresses, there are no other women. This stand-in can't just drag a guy on stage naked, right? There is no need for a man, there is only one woman, Qiao Fengwei. But the bare back of a middle-aged woman in her forties was obviously different from that of a young girl, so she couldn't use it!
Qiao Fengwei, who has been with the crew for many years, proposed another feasible plan. "If you don't need a stand-in, wouldn't it be possible to switch and cut through the lens?"
"Let's talk about it." Zhang Yang said vaguely, not commenting on her suggestion.
Anyone who is a director hopes to make the shot as perfect as possible. Although Qiao Fengwei said not to hold Yuan Qiaoqiao to high standards, her previous wonderful performances had whetted Zhang Yang's appetite, so he didn't want to lower his standards.
Qiao Fengwei came to the frowning Yuan Qiaoqiao and asked, knowingly: "What, is there something wrong with the performance?"
Yuan Qiaoqiao called her the same name in the play, "Mom, it's not that I don't know how to act, but somehow, when I think about taking off my clothes in front of so many people in front of the camera, it's different from what I thought. Well, in the end it wasn¡¯t the same thing in the performance.¡±
Although she is not famous, Qiao Fengwei, as a professional actor who has been acting for decades, naturally understands the crux of her problem and pointed out: "The main reason is that you can't let go.
Performance is actually a process of releasing one¡¯s inner self. Being a human being requires restraint, but performing does not require it. Therefore, when you performed just now, you had to overcome emotions such as nervousness, shyness, fear, hesitation, etc. This is a psychological barrier that an actor must overcome. If you can't do it for the time being and can't ignore the staff around you, then try your best to hypnotize yourself and treat these people as air or vegetables and radishes. "
Yuan Qiaoqiao seemed to understand what Qiao Fengwei said before, but she understood the last sentence. She lowered her head and thought about it for a long time. Slowly, her expression became relaxed.
She took a deep breath, let it out, stood up and walked towards the director. "Director, I'm ready."
When the filming started again, Yuan Qiaoqiao's whole person seemed to be completely reborn, with a smile on her lips, but her eyes were full of sadness, confusion, pain, and hope Her eyes were obscure and unspeakable, and her expression was forbearing. She raised her hands and slowly unbuttoned her clothes, then slowly stood up, got off the kang and walked towards the bathtub placed on the ground.
The camera slowly moved down from Yuan Qiaoqiao's face. Although her face was not captured in the subsequent shots, she showed her moment through the rhythm of changing from slow to fast, from fast to faster, and then slowing down again. emotional changes.
The camera that shot her back showed a slender and graceful back shape, with a waist, slender calves, well-proportioned bones and flesh, well-proportioned, very smooth body lines, and her delicate white bare feet stepped on the ground, forming a strong contrast with the black ground. Although the entire back is exposed, it is not very clear due to the large lighting. It seems to be covered with a layer of gauze, adding a hazy beauty and a bit of mystery, which makes people daydream after looking at it.
Xiuer in the bathtub slowly poured the water onto her body, and her hands slowly slipped from her shoulders. Her eyes trembled, her lips trembled, and her shoulders trembled The action of taking a bath was mechanical and forced.
Throughout the entire scene, Yuan Qiaoqiao didn¡¯t have a single line, but she conveyed a thousand words with her eyes and movements.
Zhang Yang behind the camera had surprise flashing in his eyes, and he couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction on his face - good, very good! Wonderful, very wonderful! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Spirits and movements convey a thousand words.
