Chapter 12 Part I: The dangerous "No. 1 Case in Guangzhou" took great pains for a scene

Therefore, Wu Wenhua followed Deputy Director Liu Xin and his team, and went to the Xiangzhou Fishery Brigade in Zhuhai County to experience life, learn to row, swim, weave nets, go fishing, and investigate.Filming continued in the summer of that year. "He Gui Debt" is the main scene in the film. It is a long shot. The story is that A Cai, played by Wu Wenhua, refuses to go to Yuba's house to be a maid after death. And tears flowed out.Cai Chusheng told the story on the scene, while patiently inspiring the actors. Wu Wenhua followed Cai Chusheng's words, followed the camera's push and pull and panned the rehearsal repeatedly, and sad tears came out of his eyes.However, when Wu Wenhua needed a close-up shot of Wu Wenhua's face when the filming started, Wu Wenhua couldn't even shed a single tear.In order to speed up the shooting of the film, someone whispered to Cai Chusheng at this time: "Give her eye drops?" Cai Chusheng said to himself: "Wu Wenhua is very passionate, she can shoot well without eye drops." Then, Cai Chusheng leaned close to Wu Wenhua's ear and whispered: "You must learn to control your emotions. If you eat now, you will be able to shoot this scene well in the afternoon." , I was very sad all the time, Wang, who played her father, took the initiative to say to Wu Wenhua: "I can't eat, there is no one now, let's arrange it by ourselves!" In this way, Wu Wenhua and Wang "father and daughter" tossed and turned in the studio After more than an hour of tossing, Wu Wenhua was thinking about the director's guidance while rehearsing.When the shooting started in the afternoon, everything went smoothly at the beginning, and the shot was about to be finished. Suddenly, there was a popping sound, and the lights in the studio went out. It turned out that two lighting bulbs had burned out. After changing it, I started shooting again.At this time, the camera made a "rustling" sound after starting to rotate a few times, and then there was no more sound. The photographer Li Shengwei shouted angrily: "Who turned off the power?" It turned out that it was when the light bulb was changed just now. , I don’t know who kicked off the power plug of the machine on the ground in a panic. At that time, Wu Wenhua’s mind suddenly went blank. What more tears to shed?Cai Chusheng was also pale with anger at that time, sitting beside the camera and couldn't say a word.At this time, Wang Weiyi asked everyone to take a rest, while gently wiping the sweat off Wu Wenhua's face with a towel, and said with concern: "You worked too hard today, don't think about anything now, just lean on the chair and sit quietly. Rest quietly for a while, Mr. Cai is also tired and sick, he has a high fever of 39 degrees, and he was given an injection at noon, I want him to rest in the afternoon, but he refuses, so he must come to help you film this scene in person." Wu Wenhua heard Cai Lao was ill, and immediately woke up in his mind, his nose was sore, and tears rolled in his eyes involuntarily. Seeing this opportunity, Cai Chusheng hurriedly called for shooting, and this "difficult" scene was finally completed.At this time, Cai Chusheng was so happy that he even forgot to call the stop, and hurried to Wu Wenhua, stroking her head lovingly and whispering: "The acting is really good! Remember today's emotions, there are still many passionate scenes below. , You can use this kind of emotion." Later, when filming many important scenes such as "Wreck at Sea" and "Rafting on a Broken Wood", Wu Wenhua used this kind of emotion to successfully complete the shooting of each scene.

After the first episode of "The Tide of the South China Sea" was released nationwide, Wu Wenhua felt that he didn't play Ah Cai well and wasted a lot of film.Cai Chusheng once again said affectionately to Wu Wenhua: "The country also needs to spend a lot of money to train a college student. Can you not pay tuition fees if you start from the beginning? The road to art is very difficult. In the future, you must study professional knowledge hard and have the opportunity to enter the film industry." It would be better if you systematically learn some professional knowledge.” Finally, Cai Chusheng reminded Wu Wenhua: “Always remember that you are still an ordinary worker, listen less to compliments, and don’t be afraid of criticism. Do something here.”

After starring in "South China Sea Tide", Wu Wenhua was loaned to Shanghai Film Studio to participate in the screenplay co-written by Zhao Dan, Ai Mingzhi, Xu Tao and Qian Qianli, co-directed by Zhao Dan, Xu Tao and Qian Qianli, starring Zhao Dan "Love in the Castle Peak", starring in the film No. 2 Xu Ying.
