Chapter 317 Soldiers, the Summer Vacation Begins
An anti-aircraft artillery brigade in the suburbs of Kunming.
Lu Pingan completed the registration and entered the familiar gate.
"Yesterday Baoqiang knew you were coming, and his condition was not stable. The scenes that could have been finished yesterday had to be put on today, and he just caught up."
Kang Honglei talked about recent events.
It turned out that the crew's scenes here could have been finished yesterday, and Baoqiang happened to assist, so Lu Pingan could see the final scenes of "Steel Seventh Company" in a while.
"My little brother's performance is okay?"
Lu Pingan asked with a smile.
"Good, very good, no one in the entire crew could keep up with his rhythm from the beginning."
Kang Honglei began to praise Baoqiang, with a laughable complaint.
Good attitude, willing to endure hardships, weird acting skills, but very absolute, blah blah, very happy.
"You observe yourself later, I dare say that by then even you will have to get to know him again."
"Then I have to take a good look."
Soon, Lu Pingan came to the set without disturbing the actors.
Because the actors have already started rehearsing.
This scene is the scene of Shi Jin's retirement.
The veterans of the 7th Steel Company lined up and watched Shi Jin wipe the tank carefully for the last time in the tank warehouse.
As a result, Xu Sanduo, who was originally scheduled to return to the team tomorrow, borrowed the regiment commander's car by mistake and returned from the division headquarters one day in advance. When he found out that Shi Jin was going to be demobilized, he ran to the warehouse like crazy and burst into tears.
This scene should be said to be the most tear-jerking episode in the entire "Soldier Assault".
Shi Jin retired, Xu Sanduo lost his "mother" and began to grow up.
According to Kang Honglei, after this scene, Xu Sanduo held Shi Jin's luggage tightly in the dormitory and everyone cried.
At this point, the scenes in Kunming were completely over, and everyone would move to Beijing to shoot the remaining scenes.
The opening scene in Beijing was the scene where Shi Jin, played by Zhang Yi, contributed the biggest tear-jerker in the whole play in front of Tiananmen Square in Beijing.
Without saying too much, the crew members continued to rehearse without changing their expressions when they saw Kang Honglei and Lu Da Lao coming.
The filming started soon.
"Today, the 4,711th soldier of the 7th Steel Company is leaving us."
The 7th Princess played by Zhang Guoqiang shouted the lines.
The camera swept over, and Lu Ping'an saw the familiar scene from the monitor's perspective.
The simple and solemn farewell ceremony for demobilization did not seem to be a big deal.
But when put into the whole drama, the explosive power contained in this scene is extremely strong.
Shi Jin's demobilization represents a life-long separation and a sudden growth alone for Xu Sanduo.
For the veterans at the scene, it is also a painful growth that they have to face.
For the 7th Steel Company, it is a rebirth to welcome the future in the wheel of history.
For the entire army, it is also an unforgettable reform pain.
It can be said that Shi Jin's demobilization is not just his demobilization alone, it represents more and higher meanings.
The whole play of "Soldier Assault" is also about "separation in life".
The corresponding one is "My Captain, My Regiment", which is about "parting in death".
As a future general, Gao Cheng, the captain of the 7th Steel Company, one of the big players in the play, played this role. He prepared a farewell speech, paused for a word, and finally held on, choked, and his momentum became weaker and weaker, so that he had to stop in the middle, and then changed it to let Wu Liuyi, a soldier who was familiar with Shi Jin, give him an evaluation.
Wu Liuyi was not good at speaking, but he used only one word to shock and perfectly summarize the military career of the third squad leader Shi Jin:
"Good!!!"
The sound was deafening.
The people of the 7th Company followed closely and shouted "Good!" three times in a row.
This scene is not in the novel. It is said that Kang Honglei and all the creators came up with it themselves.
Now it seems that the effect is really great and tear-jerking.
But it's even more tear-jerking.
"Not good!"
Xu Sanduo, who had left the patrol far behind, finally arrived at the scene, crying, "You said you wouldn't leave, why did you lie to me!"
Xu Sanduo, who was naive, believed Shi Jin's white lie, thinking that as long as he was good enough, he could be promoted to a squad leader.
So his achievements during this period shocked everyone, and he even got the opportunity to teach at the division headquarters.
But only Xu Sanduo could believe such nonsense.
Shi Jin's departure had his own reasons.
But Xu Sanduo, who was still a "child" at the time, didn't understand.
The scene ended with Baoqiang crying bitterly.
Everyone heard the director's click, except Baoqiang.
Everyone went up to help him out of the play tacitly.
During this period, Baoqiang's performance was seen by everyone.
It was worthy of the word Wu Liuyi said just now: good.
But such emotional scenes were indeed not easy to get out of the play.
Baoqiang had long been Xu Sanduo.
Everyone was a little helpless about this.
Zhang Guoqiang said disdainfully, "He's a soldier king, but his face is covered with cat urine."
Everyone laughed, and Zhang Yi patted Baoqiang on the shoulder: "Save your strength, you'll cry again soon."
He was talking about the dormitory scene, which was very torturous.
But Baoqiang was unmoved, or it was really difficult for him to get out of it.
As a result, a voice rang out from outside: "Lao Kang, come on, give him a close-up, as a behind-the-scenes clip, it will definitely be fun later!"
After hearing this, everyone was wondering who was so bold as to direct the director.
But Baoqiang stood up in an instant, and his face covered with cat urine turned into a big white tooth: "Brother!"
When everyone saw Bao Qiang running out, they followed his gaze and immediately realized that Director Lu was here!
. . . . . .
"Come on, everyone, please introduce me. Director Lu Da is rare to see, so seize the opportunity!"
In the evening, after the scene in Kunming ended successfully, everyone gathered for dinner in a restaurant. Before the meal, Kang Honglei greeted them.
Lu Ping'an followed and said: "Wait a moment. I'll talk about the people I know first. There's no need to talk about the few people I know. Let's talk about the people we don't know later."
In one sentence, Xing Jiadong, Li Bo, Duan Yihong and others shouted unfair.
The other actors who saw Lu Pingan for the first time strongly agreed.
The atmosphere was very lively.
Then Lu Ping'an talked about it one by one: "Xing Jiadong, Lao Xing, I remember we met in 2001. At that time, he and Chen Kun came to watch my short film screening "Old Duan". Needless to say, he played me The protagonist, Li Bo, played a role in my film and accounted for one-fifth of the scene."
Everyone laughed, everyone present knew that there were only five people in the film.
Then came the unknown.
"Hello, Director Lu, my name is Zhang Guoqiang, and I play the seventh company commander in the play."
"Hello, Director Lu, my name is Zhang Yi, and I play the role of Shi Jin, the third squad leader in the play."
"Director Lu, let me toast you. I am Chen Sicheng. You are my idol. I especially like your "The Tuner"."
"Road guide."
All the actors toasted one by one.
Some did not come, such as Luo Jingmin and Wang Dazhi. Their roles are not here and they will continue to act after returning to the capital.
But it doesn’t matter, that’s enough for the scene.
After all, the main purpose of Lu Ping'an's visit to the class was to check in and see his favorite characters.
So when it comes to toasting, no matter what the actors are, Lu Ping'an accepts the toasts correctly and without any pretense. Of course, this also lets everyone know in a very short time that Director Lu's drinking capacity is indeed as rumored, and he can do it!
The atmosphere at the scene continued to be lively, and there were all grown men. In addition, today was also the closing banquet, the end of the Kunming scene, so everyone was drunk quickly.
When the alcohol got high, Hu Tian Haihai started talking about all kinds of things.
Zhu Shimao's younger brother Zhu Shichun, who plays the instructor of the Seventh Company, is very eloquent, and he can also keep the atmosphere in check without drinking, and everyone is happy with it.
But in the end, he drank and said that he wanted to make a good deal with Director Lu and take a ride to Hollywood in the future. He took good care of his face.
In such an occasion, Lu Ping An will not overwhelm the guest. The main thing is to give everyone a chance to perform. Everyone does seize this opportunity intentionally or unintentionally and want to show off. After all, great directors are indeed rare. This may be the only time in this life. .
In fact, Lu Ping An has indeed targeted many people.
He likes Zhang Guoqiang very much.
He must be included in "My Brother's Name is Shunliu", so we will definitely collaborate in the future.
Moreover, it is said that this actor's life is very difficult now. He is counting on the salary from this drama to buy milk powder for his children. In the future, it will be almost easy to invite him.
Needless to say, Zhang Yi, this young man is indeed very talented as an actor. I will definitely cooperate with him if we have the opportunity in the future.
Forget what Chen Sicheng said. Although he was the most attentive tonight and talked to Lu Ping'an the most through his relationship with Bao Qiang, and the topics were the most professional, it is estimated that the possibility of actor cooperation in the future will not be very high. Of course, cooperation on projects is still Okay, make money~
I won’t say much about the other actors, but they can all work together.
By the end of the banquet, the young men were so emotional that they started crying.
This also made the karaoke in the second half more bold.
Everyone lets it go, and that’s how it should be when it’s finished.
Lu Pingping didn't bother him and just rested on his own.
At noon the next day, everyone returned to Beijing together.
That night, Lu Pingan once again personally performed the most tear-jerking scene in the film.
Monitor Shi Jin burst into tears on the jeep.
When Yuan Shikong was filming this scene, Zhang Yi received a discharge notice, so the acting came very naturally.
This time, due to some changes in the timeline, the project started filming a little late, so Zhang Yi received the notice a month ago, but this did not affect his performance.
"Isn't this actor good?"
Kang Honglei said to Lu Pingan.
"Yes, no wonder you chose him."
"Haha, I didn't want to choose him at first, but he wrote the letter of challenge."
Kang Honglei talked about Zhang Yi's campaign role.
At first, he was not picked up because he had never acted in a play. Later, he wrote a letter of challenge with the goal of playing Xu Sanduo, and eventually became Shi Jin.
Lu Ping'an has heard this story, and now hearing it with his own ears, he once again laments that sometimes the birth of a divine drama is actually full of drama and fatalism from the beginning.
After it was over, Lu Ping'an gave him a big thumbs up, followed by: "Keep in touch in the future."
Zhang Yi was stunned on the spot, and it wasn't until Bao Qiang happily hooked his neck that he came back to his senses, and then said excitedly and incoherently: "Okay, Director Lu!"
He is a good actor, and the company will also have matching projects in the future. For example, "The Leader" will definitely not be left behind. He can indeed pay more attention to him.
Compared to Zhang Yi, Chen Sicheng is obviously better at getting things done.
Through Baoqiang, he handed over a well-made resume to Lu Pingan, as well as a handwritten letter.
The letter probably explained his plans and thoughts about his acting career.
It feels very accomplished.
It's a good attitude, but obviously this method is inappropriate.
How can Baoqiang look so easy to talk to?
So Baoqiang turned around and said directly to Lu Pingan: "Chen Sicheng is doing PR for me."
After hearing the story, Lu Pingan laughed and replied directly: "This guy is okay, and the possibility of cooperation is not ruled out, but forget about signing a contract, you know the company's situation."
It's still not easy to separate Baoqiang and Chen Sicheng, and Lu Pingan didn't want to steal Chen Sicheng's works, so just maintain the status quo.
Baoqiang understood immediately, and he would handle the rest of the matter. How to refuse tactfully and protect all aspects of face, so that the "quasi-seed" that Lu Pingan is optimistic about can be in sight and will not slip away, this kind of thing, he and his agent are already very skilled.
"Oh, by the way, Baoqiang, the summer vacation is here, let him go to see my movie, and he must buy tickets to watch it, and it would be best if you all watch it."
"Any explanation?"
"No, he can understand it as he pleases."
"I understand, I'll tell him."
"I'm leaving, you act well."
"Brother, I'll see you off."
The next day, Lu Ping'an returned to the company. At this time, there were still two and a half weeks before the release of "Back to 20". In the next few months, the company's biggest task was only one: to dominate the summer vacation.
"How is the ticketing system?"
"The test has been completed, and the cooperation units have been coordinated, and it can be opened on schedule."
"Publicity?"
"Ready!"
"The theater?"
"Ready!"
"."
All the work is ready.
Lu Ping'an waved his hand:
"Let's get started!"
