【There is a small shop at the edge of the cloud】The crew preparation team

May 20, 2020

After the opening ceremony announcement, the crew sent out two more afternoon shooting announcements.

Qi Jia looked around and found that they were all related to him.

The first paragraph is about Liu Shisan seeing off his first love, Mudan, at the entrance of the village.

The second paragraph is that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Shisan, his grandmother Wang Yingying, Cheng Shuang and Wang Qiuqiu were having dinner in the yard.

After reading the notice and putting on his shoes, the assistant sent a message asking when he would come down.

Qi Jia replied that he would be there soon, then opened the door and walked out of the room.

Zhou Ye just came out from the opposite door. She also changed into the crew’s T-shirt for the start of the filming and wore a white skirt. She was as pure as a plum blossom that blooms proudly in the snow.

“Early Brother Qi”

“Good morning, let’s go together.” Qi Jia said with a smile.

As soon as the two finished talking, the door next to them opened, and Zhang Yifan walked out of the room. When he saw the two of them, his eyes lit up immediately, and he rushed over with open arms.

“Yezi, Brother Qi, I missed you guys so much. It’s been so long since we last met. I never thought that the three of us would be able to work together again one day.”

Qi Jia quickly pushed her into Zhou Ye’s arms and said jokingly,

“You’re still asleep. Did you feed the dog the hotpot I ordered yesterday?”

Zhang Yifan hugged Zhou Ye and said coquettishly, “One day without seeing you feels like three years have passed. We haven’t seen each other for one night, so it must be at least one and a half years.”

When the two of them hugged each other, Qi Jia suddenly realized that Zhang Yifan was quite tall, actually a head taller than Zhou Ye.

I didn’t notice it when filming “Better Days” before. Could it be that she has grown taller in the past two years?

The three of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the filming location of “Yingying’s Store”. There were already staff members busy at the scene.

At 9:35, the ceremony officially began. All the leading actors stood in the front row. From left to right, they were:

Zhang Yifan (as Qin Xiaozhen), Lin Jiachuan (as Wang Yong), Kong Lianshun (as Niu Datian), Wang Luodan (as Mao Tingting), Wang Dalu (as Mao Zhijie), Chen Yanxi (as Mr. Luo),

And standing in front of a row of leading actors is,

Qi Jia (playing Liu Shisan), Zhou Ye (playing Cheng Shuang), Arya (playing Wang Yingying), and Wang Shengdi (playing Wang Qiuqiu), these four leading actors, as well as the director Zhang Jiajia.

Under the curious eyes of the villagers, the crew solemnly completed the opening ceremony.

After lunch and a brief rest, at two o’clock in the afternoon, the crew immediately began to prepare for the shooting of the first scene.

“Qi Jia, come here for a moment.”

Zhang Jiajia wore a straw hat and fanned himself with a script while waving to Qi Jia, who was hiding in the shade enjoying the service of three girls, to come over.

Qi Jia was resting his chin on his hand, thinking about the script that would be played later. When he heard Zhang Jiajia shouting, he subconsciously stood up and ran over.

As a result, after running a few meters, I heard three girls behind me yelling, “Hey, brother, shoes, you are not wearing shoes.”

Qi Jia stopped and looked down, oh shit, he was really barefoot. Then he remembered that he had taken off his slippers to cool down and used them as a cushion under his buttocks when sitting.

“Hey~ catch the ball!” Zhou Ye stood up, raised his slender legs, and kicked Qi Jia’s shoe out like a ball.

“Damn, you’re not good at this. Go back and practice more.”

Qi Jia couldn’t help but complain, went down to the field to fish out his slippers, put them on, and ran to Zhang Jia’s house to listen to him talk about the play.

Ten minutes later, everything was ready and the actors were in place.

Qi Jia and Tian Yitong, the actress who guest-starred as Mudan, stood face to face, with Cheng Shuang, played by Zhou Ye, and Wang Qiuqiu, played by Xiaojuzi, standing behind them.

A mountain breeze blew, blowing the emerald green bamboo in the distance and the lush green rice nearby.

Seeing that everything was almost ready, Zhang Jiajia picked up the intercom and finally said,

“Attention, close-up cameras. After the countdown of three, two, and one, focus on the character’s face. Don’t let it go out of focus. Do you understand?”

After he finished speaking, a few responses came from the headphones.

“Okay, the stage manager hits the board, let’s get started.”

After saying this, the script supervisor walked to the camera, held up the clapperboard, and read aloud,

“There’s a small shop at the edge of the cloud. 69 shots, 1 game, 1 time. Let’s start!”

The staff controlled the jib and slowly moved it backwards.

The camera moves with the action, gradually zooming out, blurring the back of the peony as the foreground.

In front of the camera, Qi Jia opened his eyes slightly and looked at the camera softly. Through the screen, there seemed to be a gentle mist in his eyes.

Beneath the mist is Liu Shisan’s deep love and reluctance to part with Peony, making the audience seem to feel his inner attachment.

In front of the monitor, Zhang Jiajia touched his chin and nodded. He found that this boy’s acting skills have improved after “Actors Please Take Place 2”.

The eye acting was so powerful that even the original author couldn’t help but tremble in his heart.

But when the camera switched to Tian Yitong, his brows furrowed again.

Compared with Qi Jia, Tian Yitong was obviously not in good shape. I was about to shout “cut”, but then I thought that this was the first scene after all, so I decided to observe for a while.

So, he swallowed the words back and continued to stare at the monitor.

In front of the camera,

It was her first time to act with Qi Jia, and Tian Yitong was really nervous at first. She also felt that she was not in the right state at all this time.

Just when she was panicking, when she met Qi Jia’s eyes, she suddenly lost her mind.

The man opposite her had a look of reluctance, attachment, pain, and helplessness in his eyes, which seemed to pull her from reality into the play.

It was as if the soul was taken away by Peony. The real Tian Yitong disappeared, and the one standing in front of the camera now was Peony who walked out of the book.

She pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly, somewhat afraid to face Liu Shisan, the man who had been the best to her in the world.

But I have never liked him. I was with him only for his care and companionship.

But when a better dependence appears, I will push it away without hesitation.

“We shouldn’t have to apologize to each other, right?”

Hearing this line, Zhang Jiajia’s heart was moved, and Tian Yitong was completely immersed in the role within a few seconds.

Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway.

Zhang Jiajia heard a pretentious and carefree tone from this line.

Considering the background of this scene, from Mudan’s perspective, she hopes to use these seemingly lighthearted words to cover up the guilt and uneasiness that may exist in her heart.

At the same time, he was looking for excuses for having taken advantage of Liu Shisan’s feelings but not wanting to admit his mistakes.

There is no need to apologize to each other. It means everyone is wrong and it is not just my problem. Mudan said this to ease her own psychological burden.

“Not bad, not bad.” Zhang Jiajia nodded with satisfaction, but he was also very curious and didn’t understand why Tian Yitong suddenly seemed like a different person.

In front of the camera,

After saying the last line, Tian Yitong turned around and left without any reluctance.

Qi Jia’s eyes were slightly moist, and his gaze followed the camera without blinking, as if he wanted to imprint the appearance of Peony firmly in his mind.

“Cheng Shuang, please come in.” Zhang Jiajia shouted,

The crew used professional sound recording equipment, and the sound pickup range was limited to the area around the actors, so as long as he didn’t speak loudly, he didn’t have to worry about being recorded.

Hearing the director’s call, Zhou Ye, who had already immersed himself in the role for a long time, put his hands behind his back and playfully turned to look in Qi Jia’s direction.

“Turn up the fan a little bit, and blow up Cheng Shuang’s hair and skirt for me.”

Hearing the director’s call, the staff quickly followed his instructions.

The wind blew Zhou Ye’s long hair and her skirt fluttered. She took a few steps playfully, then trotted in front of Qi Jia. Xiaojuzi also hurriedly followed with the buns in her hand.

“Oh, I didn’t cry.”

As soon as Zhou Ye came on stage, everyone in the crew was dazzled. This girl was simply the chosen one, Cheng Shuang.

She didn’t even have to act deliberately, she just had to stand there and be Cheng Shuang herself.

The confusion, helplessness and bewilderment in Liu Shisan’s eyes due to Mudan’s departure disappeared at once when Cheng Shuang appeared. Only relief and Cheng Shuang were left in his eyes.

“There’s nothing to cry about.”

Qi Jia smiled, stretched out his hand and pinched Xiaojuzi’s face, and said in a relaxed tone,

“Besides, I will never cry again.”

In front of the monitor, Zhang Jiajia was so engrossed in watching that he almost stuck his head into the screen.

Qi Jia and Zhou Ye’s performances showed no signs of acting at all. They were just like the real Liu Shisan and Cheng Shuang. Their lines and expressions were natural and comfortable in the eyes of the audience.

In the lens,

“I said, you should go to work~”

After Zhou Ye finished his last line and jumped out of the camera, Zhang Jiajia stood up excitedly, clapped his hands vigorously, and shouted,

“Okay! Click!”
