Chapter 38

Liang Wenmo changed his writing style. His exquisite and unique writing and romantic and touching love stories were delivered to the editorial office. He knew it was him without looking at the name. Therefore, he began to study historical martial arts novels and published the first five under the new pseudonym. Zhang passed, and sure enough, it was published in the newspaper. He was suddenly refreshed, and buried himself in writing in the house, not even looking for Huai Yan-he wanted to make some achievements to impress him.

Huai Yan admires Liang Wenmo's talent. These days, he has received new dramas. No matter how busy he is, he will take some time to read Liang Wenmo's updated chapters. The angle is also more comprehensive, and it feels like a higher level...

Perhaps because of this period of sparring, he has also grown. Huai Yan thought to himself that the same is true of writing, and the same is true of performance.

Huai Yan's new play this time is called "Spring Peach". It is about a village girl's growth process that changed after she studied. The performance is not difficult, and the production team is unknown. On the day of the premiere, the director took courage to invite him Handing it to Huai Yan, he didn't expect that he would be the first to choose his own film, and he was willing to lower his salary to act, because he felt that the script was intentional and the subject matter had some meaning. The director was very grateful, but Xu Zhengyang was not satisfied. After Jinghua no longer cooperated with Liang Wenmo, although there was no film that Huai Yan could star in, he thought that Huai Yan was made by himself and should be with Jinghua. After signing the contract, Huai Yan, taking into account Liang Wenmo's feelings and future development, did not agree. He only said that if Jinghua had an invitation in the future, he would do his best. However, some rumors of "ingratitude" and "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge" still spread.

At the end of the spring, the Laurel Award ceremony held in Xijing finally started. Due to the development of combat weapons and other reasons, the ceremony was postponed for a while. Just after the completion of "Spring Peach", Huai Yan sat down with Xu Zhengyang, Bai Feng and others. Train to Xijing.

During the two-day journey, everyone rested in the first-class cabin, but no one spoke to Huai Yan again. It was very different from the previous enthusiasm. Huai Yan looked at the familiar faces, and then remembered the time when he was in the military camp with Lu Jingyun. The few times I got along with each other, I felt sour and bitter at first, and then I just relaxed and ignored it, and started to study the next script, and the small light by the bedside was still on late at night.

Xu Zhengyang observed Huai Yan from time to time, and he was moved by seeing how diligent he was. He planned that if Huai Yan could win the prize this time, he would double the contract fee in the contract and have a good chat on the way back. Thinking about it, Huai Yan didn't reject Jinghua because of the contract money, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

The weather in Xijing in May is already hot, the train enters the city, the thick and majestic ancient city wall comes into view, the lush green trees surround the battlements, the moat is as bright as a mirror, and Huai Yan suddenly feels familiar with this scene. But when he got a headache, he couldn't think of anything else. He thought to himself, he didn't rush into the group for the next film, and it would be better to spend a few days in the city after the awards.

It was already afternoon, and a few people came to the hotel arranged by the organizer together. After eating the mutton steamed buns, they began to prepare for the evening ceremony. At this time, everyone communicated with Huai Yan, and the makeup artist took out the preparations in advance. The good dress made him sit in front of the mirror, and Xu Zhengyang also took out the procedure sheet to tell him what to pay attention to.

Seeing that the price of the dress was terrifyingly high, Huai Yan couldn't help but feel embarrassed. In his suitcase, it was still the first-class white linen suit with a collar that Xu Zhengyang brought him to buy. He blushed and said to Xu Zhengyang, "Xu Zhengyang. Director, I can wear this."

"It's just for you to wear, not for you. For a national award, I can't tell you to embarrass Jinghua." Xu Zhengyang glanced at him coldly, but at Shang Huaiyan's wet and clear eyes, his heart softened for a moment. , "I have inquired about it, and you have a great chance of winning."

Huai Yan was swept away by the makeup artist, and when he saw Mr. Zhao Yi's "Bang Ziqiang" in the film list, he couldn't help being taken aback. Although he had not seen this movie, Mr. Zhao's "Red Sun" ", "Boy Lover" are all models of performing arts, "Director Xu, I feel that I am impossible."

"Elder Zhao has won the Laurel Award twice, and the organizing committee will also consider encouraging the cultivation of newcomers." Xu Zhengyang asked, "Are you ready for the performance?"

Huai Yan took out the paper from the bag and handed it to Xu Zhengyang, Xu Zhengyang glanced at it, it was very different from the elaboration template that previous actors liked to use, and he had a lot of valuable experience, so he nodded, "Don't be nervous after you take the stage, be confident. "

At the end of the screening competition in the evening, the selection of the Best Actor Award was left to the two films "Browning Love" and "Bang Ziqiang". Some young judges thought that although "Browning Love" mainly showed love The power of redemption for life, but Huai Yan's performance is very layered. He expresses a kind of perseverance in the face of life and adversity, which is very inspiring. His appearance and temperament also contribute to the unique and stunning beauty of the film. However, there are also many judges who believe that the material of the folk art of "Bangziqiang" itself is more heavy, and Zhao Yi's performance is more mature and sophisticated, and it is indeed impeccable...

The judges insisted on their own words and argued endlessly. Xu Zhengyang was so nervous that his palms were sweating, but Huai Yan calmed down after finishing the performance. , Although the subject matter and performance method are completely different, I still do not have a good grasp of the handling of some details. If I really win the award, I will feel uneasy...

In the audience voting session, Huai Yan's number of votes was slightly higher than Zhao Yi's, but in the judges' score, he was dropped by a few points. After adding the weight, he finally returned.

Although the film screening received a good response, directors and actors from all over the country came to express their appreciation during the break of the ceremony, but the people from Jinghua could not hide their disappointment. Xu Zhengyang frowned and went outside to smoke. Huai Yan felt no regrets. Bang Ziqiang was the last film of Mr. Zhao, so he quietly walked to Zhao Yi's seat and congratulated him. When Zhao Yi saw this beautiful young man who was just emerging, he smiled and stood up to shake hands with him. The actor who has won the most laurel awards is still very humble, "I heard that this is your second movie, you are much better than me at that time, I have been playing Qin Opera for many years, and I slowly realized it. When you get something, since you have this talent, don't waste it."

"Elder Zhao is overrated!" Huai Yan hurriedly bowed to thank him, and summoned up the courage to ask him why he handled the details of the performance so naturally.

"You also know that there are often a lot of changes in emotions, props, environment, and partners on the set, so you have to think about these details in advance, and show them with your own feelings in front of the camera, which requires a long-term As for kung fu, my suggestion is to read more and practice more, Zhao Mou is born stupid, and there is only a stupid way."

"You are telling the truth." Huai Yan hurriedly nodded his thanks.

Zhao Yi sees his sincerity and humility, and also feels fond of him, "Actually, every practice is enough to devote a lifetime of energy, and there is no distinction between high and low, but our industry faces the most temptations and pressures. Maintaining the origin, I think this is something that should be paid more attention to than artistic achievement.”

Thinking of the current situation of Yanyun's literary and art circle, Huai Yan also sighed softly, but heard Zhao Yi say: "We have an advertisement in Yongxi Films looking for a male lead, and it is only twenty minutes long. Although it is not difficult, it needs Learning sign language-because it is the role of a deaf student teacher, it is a public welfare. If you are interested, I will let Director Ouyang know when the show is over. "

Huai Yan had already seen that he wanted to offer some help, so he hurriedly responded, wrote down Mr. Zhao's address, and when he returned to his seat, the people in Jinghua ignored him again. , and the second is that he doesn't like to see him go to Zhao Yi.

Why doesn't Huaiyan understand? He felt that participating in such a film festival should be more open-hearted to communicate, and it would be boring to fight tit for tat, but he couldn't say it, he knew how much Xu Zhengyang valued awards, so he had to silently watch the best Movies selected by the heroine.

The competition for this award is not very fierce this year. Several successful actors in the film industry have all retired, and the screen is full of new faces. Xu Zhengyang had little expectations for Bai Feng, but he felt that there was drama when he watched it. When the results were announced, everyone heard the name "Browning Love".

Bai Feng cried with joy, and when everyone was excited, they hugged Huai Yan together. Huai Yan took the opportunity to propose to find a high-end restaurant in Xijing after the end. Everyone celebrated, he paid the bill-he also wanted to thank his colleagues in the crew for a long time, but By the time everyone returned to the hotel after dinner, it was already late at night. Xu Zhengyang often persuaded Huaiyan to return to Jinghua at the dinner, and Huaiyan once again frankly admitted his thoughts - he is still willing to try more different types of works, which can improve faster. Besides, if Jinghua has a suitable film, he will definitely appear in it. . Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, and everyone expressed their understanding that the meal was quite enjoyable.

When he woke up the next morning, Xu Zhengyang planned to buy some new equipment with several good directors. Huai Yan, thinking about the agreement with Zhao Yi, said goodbye to his colleagues in Jinghua, and came to the old alley where Zhao Yi lived according to the address. In the middle of the book, couldn't help but be moved when saw that his home was extremely simple, but in the study there were all kinds of costumes and musical instruments used in Qin Opera, as well as a few boxes of handwriting experience accumulated since he was a child.

Because Zhao Yi studied opera, he mainly emphasized the meaning of stylized performance to him. He had already seen that the climax of Browning's scene was played by Huai Yan by himself, "Although you handled that part well, But from the perspective of the whole movie, some of your performances are still not 'accurate', which is too risky and may not be applicable to other studios. This is the handling of the details you asked. In fact, there is nothing natural, only enough Precise grasp. Some people think that performance is emotional and should not be restrained, but it is not the case, the regularity and rhythm are also the basis to some extent... Of course, everything is subject to the specific plot. For example, in that scene, you were asking questions Is the tone of voice a little slow and relaxed at the time, and the difference between the coldness of turning around and killing the opponent after that is too big, there is a little transition and foreshadowing..."

Huai Yan deeply thought it was true. He digested and understood what Zhao Lao said repeatedly, and some questions left in his mind were answered. They talked until noon. Zhao Lao's wife brought two bowls of oil-splashed noodles. After eating, Zhao Lao took him to see the director. The director was naturally satisfied with Huai Yan. After telling him about the shooting requirements, he called a sign language teacher to teach him, because Huai Yan’s role is a teacher who teaches deaf children in Xijing. .

It took Huaiyan five days to master sign language, and by the end his hands were sore and numb. Most of the commercials were shot in an old academy. When seeing those children, Huai Yan missed the children in Yanyun Orphanage, and since he was busy, he rarely went to church.

The plot of the commercial is simple, and the filming has been smooth these days. The last shot of the film is on the gate tower of Xijing. Huai Yan has not been to the gate tower since he came here. The old city here is taller and heavier than the Yanyun tower, and the view is wider. The spring breeze gently caresses the faces of tourists. The string of light lanterns swayed like the slow motion in the film. Outside the city, the water was still and deep. Huai Yan held a red dragonfly kite and led the children to run across the uneven ground in the direction of the river. Sign language tells them to slow down.

At this time, they had run to the corner of the battlements, where a barricade was erected, and there were some forts on the opposite side, the photographer panted and laughed: "Mr. Jiang, the front is the military control area, let's turn back, I have just photographed it, Let's have a good meal tonight!"

"Mr. Jiang, please come back! It's done!" the director shouted with a loudspeaker a few hundred meters away.

"Okay." Huai Yan also smiled lightly and stroked the head of the doll beside him. He put down the kite and raised his eyes to look at the opposite side, but seeing the red sun set in the west, he drew a silhouette of a simple and magnificent arrow tower, even with a fort. In the afterglow, Xijing is not like the mountains in the western suburbs of Yanyun, but the outline of the Yanta pagoda can be seen in the distance. There are a few soldiers standing there remembering something. I couldn't help but take a few more glances, and this time I caught a familiar tall and straight figure, even though they were all dressed in military uniforms, but that person was different, and his heart was beating violently when he saw it.

Bright clouds covered the sky, Chunyan wandered around the urn city, behind Huaiyan was the rising moon, and he was facing the scorching sun, with the sensitivity of that person, at this moment, he felt that someone was looking at him, raising his eyes In the past, he couldn't help but look surprised. Huai Yan watched Lu Jingyun walk towards him step by step, the city behind him was vast and the sky was high, and Yue Zhiyuan was even more handsome and calm, and his cheeks flushed with panic.

Lu Jingyun stood still before refusing the horse. He was waiting for Huai Yan to speak first, and Huai Yan was full of sign language recently, so he asked hello in sign language in a panic.

Lu Jingyun couldn't help showing a smile, and replied in sign language: Haven't you gone back yet?

It was only then that Huai Yan remembered that he had received various special trainings. Of course, these sign languages ​​were not a problem. The two of them just gestured across the roadblock. Huai Yan couldn't help but think of some romantic movie scenes. He wanted to answer in sign language, but he didn't know. How should the advertisement be expressed, I had to say: "I received a public service advertisement temporarily."

Lu Jingyun looked down at him, the doll was still looking up at them curiously, his expression suddenly softened, "When are you going to leave?"

"It's just finished today, and I might spend a day or two in Xijing... When did Chief Lu come here?" Huai Yan had not seen him for a long time, and suddenly met him in another city. The last few sentences...

Lu Jingyun brushed off the gunpowder ashes from his sleeves, "It's been three months since I've been here, and I'm cooperating with the school to do some projects."

Huai Yan looked at the black Guo'an Military Academy uniform on his body and thought, no wonder Chief Lu changed out of Chen'an Army's clothes, he wanted to say something, but heard Lu Jingyun ask: "Are you free at night, let me show you the authentic taste? Northwestern cuisine."

Huai Yan couldn't hide his surprise. He never thought that Lu Jingyun would take the initiative to invite him. A sudden and secret joy filled his chest instantly. He turned around and glanced at the director who had just come to argue with the photographer about where to invite Mr. Jiang to dinner at night. , turned his head and said, "...Sir Lu, I'm free."

Hahaha, this puts the director pigeon, Xiaojiang, you can
