1982 Started from Hong Kong

Chapter 61: The Holy Body of the Undead Shadow Queen

When Deng Leling went into the room to change clothes, Pang Jiayan finally adjusted the light to a level that satisfied her.

The video equipment in the early 1980s was not equipped with high-tech products such as monitors (video assist).

Therefore, you won’t see the director sitting behind the camera and observing the shooting conditions on site through a small screen.

All the scene arrangements and actor movements on the set are entirely dependent on the director's eyes, and there is not even any playback. If you don't watch carefully and make a mistake, you can only discover the problem when watching the rough film in the editing room. Not only does it waste film, but you also have to reschedule with the actors for additional shooting.

Therefore, filming at this time is extremely challenging for the director's ability to coordinate the entire scene.

At least Zhai Yuan doesn't have this ability.

Although he had been a director before, he was a TV series director, which is very different from a movie director.

And he doesn't have to operate the camera. Most of the time, there is free labor from graduates of film universities in the southeast, northwest, and northeast China, so he just has to watch the playback on the monitor.

After all, it's a drama about young actors, and it's enough if the two male leads are good-looking. Why do you have so many requirements?

In comparison, Peng Jiayan appears particularly professional.

While setting up the scene, she began to conceive the scenes for the shooting in her mind.

"Let's start shooting from scene 22."

She put the camera on her shoulder and tested the weight, then said to Zhai Yuan.

When a movie starts shooting, it is not shot in sequence according to the script, one, two, three, four, five scenes.

Basically, we shoot all the scenes in the script in the same scene, and then switch to the second scene.

This is also the reason why the screenwriter will mark a certain place at the beginning of each scene in the script, to facilitate the director's coordination later.

Otherwise, if we shoot according to the sequence of the script, Hong Kong today, Taiwan tomorrow, and back to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow, over and over again, the cost would undoubtedly double.

Therefore, few directors would do such a thankless task, except Chen Kaige. However, if he was not a big star, he would not even be able to find an investor.

Zhai Yuan opened the photocopied script and turned to the scene she mentioned.

This scene takes place during the day. The plot is about the blind Ah Ling who has discovered the pervert Ah Yuan hiding at home. Ah Yuan threatens her to sit at the dining table and eat a plate of steak made from her pet dog.

"Okay."

Zhai Yuan glanced at the sunlight outside the window, recalled Huang Qiu Sheng's performance style in his mind, and said with confidence.

At this moment, Deng Leling also changed her clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

A white translucent tulle lace nightgown covered her graceful figure, revealing her flesh. The indescribable part below the neck was exposed, with a deep scar in the middle.

The upper body was stretched too high so that the flat belly could not touch the cloth. It rose and fell with the breathing through the gauze, and the erect belly button appeared and disappeared like a crack in the sky.

High EQ: Why do most beautiful women have vertical belly buttons?

Low EQ: Show me your belly.

Deng Leling leaned against the door frame, her exaggerated waist-to-hip ratio made her nightgown look rounder. The tulle reached her knees, covering a pair of plump, straight long legs. Under her smooth and tight calves, she wore a pair of blue sandals. Because of nervousness, her round and small toes were slightly clasped inward.

"Well, is it possible?"

She bit her moist red lips and asked softly.

As a woman, Peng Jiayan's eyes were a little wide open. She stared at Deng Leling's chest for a few seconds, then looked down at herself and sighed dejectedly.

"Zhai Yuan, what do you think?"

Peng Jiayan's voice was muffled as she looked towards Mr. Zhai who was sitting on the sofa.

"Well……"

Zhai Yuan frowned, looking like he was thinking hard after being called by the teacher.

He calmly pulled over a sofa cushion and held it between his legs.

"I think it's great, but from an artistic and practical point of view, if a woman wears a nightgown at home, does she need to wear a bra?"

Peng Jiayan looked at him with disdain, but she could not deny that there was some truth in what he said.

Although Deng Leling's bra under her nightgown was also pure white, it was so tight that the marks were still quite obvious.

Not silky enough.

"Would it be better to change into a darker nightgown?" asked Peng Jiayan.

"No!" Zhai Yuan refused righteously. You are an A+ detective who doesn't understand aesthetics, so don't give me any suggestions. If you want to look good in mourning clothes, do you understand the value of a widow?
At Zhai Yuan's insistence, Deng Leling returned to the bedroom silently.

After a while he came out again.

"Didn't I tell you to remove your bra?" Zhai Yuan saw that there was no change and asked curiously.

"It's been eliminated!" Deng Leling glared at him and puffed out her chest.

Damn! The marks are really gone, so why is it still so straight?

Where is Newton? Help! Physics is almost dead.

Zhai Yuan was shocked by the diversity of human body structure.

However, if you look closely, you can still find that Deng Leling's body is different from before.

Especially when she walks, she trembles slightly, which makes her look much softer.

He thought to himself: This is the strongest body in the human race!
……

"'The Blind Girl', Scene 22, First Take, Sixth Take, Action!"

It’s still the scene where the restaurant tricked Deng Leling into eating pet dog steak.

But the first shot alone was reshot six times.

Peng Jiayan was carrying a camera and her face looked a little ugly.

Zhai Yuan pursed his lips, seeming a little nervous.

Only Deng Leling seemed particularly calm. She was not at all stage fright when facing the camera. Her eyes were so distracted that it seemed as if she really could not see anything. She groped her way towards the dining table with her hands.

"Cut!"

Deng Leling had just taken a few steps when Peng Jiayan shouted in annoyance.

Then he glared at Zhai Yuan across the table: "Are you dead? Sister Ling is blind at this time. You were going to help her sit down when she came over! Your script also says so. Why are you like a piece of wood when facing the camera?"

After Director Peng took over the camera, he seemed like a different person with a hot temper.

Zhai Yuan was sweating profusely.

This was the sixth time that he was scolded by Peng Jiayan because he made six mistakes in a row.

The first five times my expressions were too bad, but this time I kept reminding myself in my heart and even forgot the scene of going up to help Deng Leling.

That shouldn’t be the case. I feel like I’m a good actor.

As Zhai Yuan was thinking this, Peng Jiayan put down the camera, walked up to him and started slapping the table.

"Can you do it? I've never seen an actor as dumb as you. I taught you five times but you still can't make a single expression. The sixth time you even forgot the movements. If we were using film now, you would have been kicked out of the crew long ago!"

"Director, please give me another chance, hehe."

Zhai Yuan knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to argue. He spoke to Peng Jiayan in a very obedient manner.

Deng Leling saw this scene across the dining table, and thought to herself, you have come to this day, so the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

"How can I give you a chance? Can you look outside?"

Peng Jiayan pointed out the window impatiently.

The sun has set and it's time to turn on the lights in the room.

"You filmed the matinee scene until the night, and you didn't pass any of them. We're both newcomers, so could you please learn from Sister Ling?"

Zhai Yuan trembled with fear after being scolded, lowered his head and dared not speak.

What Pang Ka Yin said was right. As a newcomer as well, Tang Lok Ling was like a completely different person when facing the camera. Her every move was extremely consistent with her character.

The holy body of the widow!
After discovering her talent, Zhai Yuan even felt that it was a waste of talent to let her shoot third-level films.

Since you have taken away Zhou Haimei from the Hong Kong entertainment industry, why not give back Deng Leling?
Zhai Yuan looked up at Deng Leling and found that she was actually covering her mouth and laughing when Peng Jiayan scolded him.

Their eyes met, and Deng Leling sighed, with an expression that asked, "Can you do this?", full of sarcasm about his poor acting skills.

Damn it! It's bullshit!

Should I deal with her in bed in the next night scene?

Shoot! Shoot now!
