Since 1983

"Hutong Family" is different from "I Love My Family".

"I Love My Family" is a drama version of a TV series, even the filming method is similar to that of a drama, with several scenes set up on one stage, some audiences invited, filmed live, watched live, and entertained live.

Episode after episode, the plot is coherent.

"Hutong People" has elements of a sitcom, but it also fits into a traditional TV series, with smooth shots and skipped shots, which is not very coherent. It can only be said that as much as possible, the single-episode plots will be shot together.

Bai Fendou, Tao Bei, Tao Maosen, Dai Honghua, Zucchini, Zhao Zhiyuan, Zhang Qiumei, Zhao Yanni, Shi Yuejin, and Yu Langu lived in the courtyard.

Appearing in two episodes, the line drawing technique allows the audience to have a preliminary understanding of the characters.

Today is the first episode, and the scenes are all about Bai Fendou, Tao Bei, Tao Maosen and Dai Honghua, and the rest are supporting.

The crew set up the machine at the entrance of the alley, and the first set of shots is the part of the script that will be read during the script reading. Xu Fei used to be the assistant director of casting, and now he is the assistant director of the scene. He came over and asked, "Director You, everything is ready, do you want to try a few first?"

"I have to try a few, let's start."

You Xiaogang gestured to the director, who opened his hands, "The first shot of the first set of "The Hutong Family"... Crack!"

I saw Ge You squatting on the side of the street, and Bi Jianhua squatting opposite with the camera on his shoulders, facing each other.

"Do you believe in love? I believe, especially love at first sight..."

As he read, You Xiaogang slowly frowned. The speed and rhythm of the speech are similar to those of the reading session, and you can pass the test, but the expression is too hard, or it is not accurate.

"stop!"

"Youzi, your expression is wrong, please be more gentle."

"well!"

"Come again!"

"Do you believe in love? I believe in..."

"Stop! It's still close."

"stop!"

"stop!"

I tried it several times, but I was not satisfied.

You Xiaogang was a little impatient, and if Bai Fendou couldn't stand up as the protagonist, the whole show failed.

"Come on, let me tell you about the play."

He waved his hands, paused suddenly, then turned his head and said, "Xu Fei, you lead someone to blast the bird, so as not to interfere with the recording for a while."

"good!"

Xu Fei called Zhao Baogang and Feng Trousers, took a few bamboo poles, and started chasing the birds.

"Chirp!"

"Shhhhh!"

The alleys are full of thick and big trees with dense shade and lush branches and leaves. There was a chaotic sound on the tree, and hundreds of birds flew up, hovered in the air for a while, and then fell down again.

Xu Fei hit and fell again and again, and so on several times, and finally flew elsewhere temporarily.

And here, Ge You is listening to the director's play seriously.

"White struggle is not a specific person. You can regard him as a symbol. For example, glib, clever, love literature and art, long for love, want to make a lot of money, but don't want to find a serious job, feel restricted... He concentrates It embodies the characteristics of a large part of people, the feeling of being confused and impulsive in the face of this social change."

"Uh-huh."

Ge You nodded again and again, waited for a while, and then heard the other party ask: "Do you understand?"

Um?

He blinked, slightly confused.

Didn't you talk about these things in the previous meeting? At that time, the communication was good, and I already understood... What I need now is not this!

"Uh, director, what do you think is the best way to make this look of mine?" He couldn't help asking.

"It's just a little ruffian, a little ridicule, but a little serious."

"Oh, let me try."

Ge You scratched his head and crouched by the side of the road.

Xu Fei also finished shooting birds, and continued to watch, only to see his facial muscles trembling, and a smile that seemed to be forced out, funny and greasy, not as good as the previous few times.

"Do you believe in love?"

Tsk!

You Xiaogang frowned even more, insisted on finishing listening, and simply said: "Let's make some adjustments. Let's shoot the next group first. Zhao Baogang and Xu Fei are ready."

Immediately following, into the next set of shots.

Zhao Baogang played a guest role as a passer-by who buys books, and Xu Fei played a guest role as a policeman. They are big players who often show their faces.

Da Gangzi's acting skills are very good, but there are few opportunities, like the guy who was buried alive in "The History of Romantic Demise", he played quite well.

And the lines are also good, Zhou Zhiming's voice in "Plainclothes Police" is him.

The roles of the two are simple, and the setting is single. It is OK for Da Gangzi to grasp the wretchedness, and Xu Fei to grasp the seriousness, but Ge You still can't do it.

He has just debuted, far from the lightness of later generations.

I tried again and again, and I was anxious, and the state of anxiety was even worse, and I couldn't even play the level of reading.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the progress was seriously delayed, and the faces of the staff gradually turned ugly. I didn't expect it to be so unsatisfactory at the beginning.

Just as Xu Fei was about to open his mouth, Zhao Baogang leaned forward, "Director, why don't you rest for a while, dinner is here."

"Food, I still want to eat..."

You Xiaogang was depressed, and just about to get angry, he waved his hands and said, "Okay, rest, rest!"

"Hey, everyone is here to pick up the meal."

Zhao Baogang guarded several large buckets, banging spoons, and everyone lined up to eat.

Liu Bei was also depressed, dressed up nicely, but waiting all morning was useless. She took two steamed buns and a pickle, and just sat down when she heard the director shout:

"Ge You, Liu Bei, Teacher Han, Teacher Mo, come and let's play against each other again."

You Xiaogang summoned four people, and called Liang Zuo, the screenwriter of this episode, over to start thinking again.

"..."

Xu Fei took a look, figured out something, and went to Teacher Li with six steamed buns. Pu Cunxin, Niu Zhenhua, and Liang Guanhua were all there.

Jiang Lili and Li Jianqun were close to each other, and they all had a lot of food left. The pile of steamed buns looked like a mountain, and even Cao Ying took three.

Niu Zhenhua and Liang Guanhua were both fat, and the weather was still hot. The lesbians were embarrassed to be shirtless, wearing white vests and sweating profusely, and they were fat and streaky.

"Filming TV series is also very hard..."

Liang Guanhua bit the steamed bun and wiped his sweat again, "Mr. Ge You, I think it's pretty good, didn't you show it today?"

"I still haven't mastered the method, I have little experience, and it's easy to get confused on the battlefield." Jiang Lili said.

"His character is complicated, and his personality is too difficult to grasp. If I play it, I will be afraid." Pu Cunxin shook his head.

"I hope it can be resolved quickly. I can't shoot one shot a day. Hey, Teacher Xu, why didn't I call you over..."

Niu Zhenhua froze suddenly, blinked his small eyes, and stopped talking with a smile.

Everyone was very subtle at once, Director You didn't seem to call him! It seems to let him catch the birds.

…………

From project selection, screenwriter selection, script writing, actor selection, costume setting, and almost all preparatory procedures for "Hutong Family", Xu Fei is the core figure.

As a result, colleagues in the center and in the station, when they mentioned Xiao Xu, they all forgot that the director was You Xiaogang.

In fact, it's normal, and no one is happy to change it.

Now that the filming is officially underway, if You Xiaogang continues to be so magnanimous, he might as well abdicate. So from his point of view, there is nothing wrong with it.

When shooting in the afternoon, Ge You's condition was slightly better, but still not satisfactory. Looking at his performance, the character of Fou Bai is separated and lacks soul.

"Let me tell you, if you are a model, don't recognize me as a grandfather!"

"Oh, Tao Maosen, what are you talking about? Xiaobei is such a girl, if you don't want me, I will."

"You are too feudal. Letting you say that, the swimming pool doesn't need to be opened, and the white flowers are all showing thighs!"

"We have to deal with the problem calmly. Even Reagan and Gorbachev have paid New Year's greetings to each other. What can't be solved by the parents?"

"..."

Seeing Uncle Ge's stiff performance, Xu Fei reflected on himself.

He did a lot of things, and it was really intentional, because he wanted to highlight the value as much as possible. But sometimes, it's really not intentional, but it's uncomfortable to watch.

I am used to seeing all kinds of overwhelming things in the later generations, and looking back at the film and television industry in the 1980s, don't let him say that he is troubled and wants to inject something new.

Another reason is that he feels that you cannot solve this matter well, so I will come.

Xu Fei understood You Xiaogang's actions, and he didn't want to disturb the entire production crew, so he said that he had to say it, and it would be better to use another method.

(I have something to do these two days, and I will resume two updates tomorrow.)
