Chapter 17 He is a ruthless person
After the first day of crew life, the leading actors, including Chen Kun and Dong Jie, all discovered a problem.
They all know that although the director of this film is Li Dawei, the real final interpretation power lies in the hands of his mother Liu Guoquan.
Everyone naturally thinks that Liu Guoquan is Li Dawei's backbone.
But after reading the script yesterday, everyone vaguely felt that the young actor named Zhang Yuan was the backbone of Li Dawei.
From the script, to the characters, to the makeup, whatever he said, Li Dawei didn't say a word and almost accepted it all.
That night, Zhang Yuan was dragged to dinner by Li Dawei and Liu Guoquan, while the other young actors gathered together.
Chen Kun, Dong Jie, Xu Lu, and even Qiao Zhenyu, who has a small role, are also there.
Liu Qianqian hit it off with Shu Chang, who was similar in age, and the two hid in the room and whispered.
"Tell me, who is Zhang Yuan?" Dong Jie looked at the others curiously.
"I think the director listens to him. Could it be that he is the son of some investor?" Xu Lu whispered.
And Chen Kun shook his head: "I asked a friend to find out, it's not from China National Theater or Beijing Film Academy."
"It's not from the theater either." Xu Lu graduated from the theater Yes, get it quickly.
"I heard that they were an extra two months ago." Chen Kun looked strange.
“What!” Qiao Zhenyu and Chen Kun were both students of Beijing Film Academy and had a good relationship, but they were shocked by his words.
Most of the actors in the drama "The Family" are from Beijing Film Academy, including Chen Kun, Qiao Zhenyu, Kou Zhenhai, and Liu Qianqian has just joined Beijing Film Academy.
The rest of them also came from professional disciplines such as Shanghai Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio, and Bayi Film Studio. Even Dong Jie, who is not a stickler, is a professional in the dance class of the National Defense University of the People's Liberation Army.
A "wild kid" suddenly appeared in the starring team, making them feel like a husky emerging from the pack of wolves.
“I don’t know what route he took to get to the crew.” Chen Kun couldn’t figure it out.
“Whatever, if it’s a mule or a horse, we’ll know.” Qiao Zhenyu was a little disdainful.
"It just so happens that there will be a scene between me and him tomorrow, and I will be able to find out his background then." Xu Lu also had a lot of thoughts in her heart.
The next afternoon, the crew went to a nearby temple for filming.
Director Li Dawei is quite puzzled. Although Chen Kun and the others were not included in the few scenes, those others came with them. Are all young actors nowadays so eager to learn?
Shu Chang did not join yesterday's conversation, but he also came with Liu Qianqian, obviously also wanting to see Zhang Yuan's performance.
Unlike a play, the filming of a TV series will not follow a timeline.
For example, in today's scene, although I have just joined the team, the content to be filmed is the finale of the two characters of Xu Lu and Zhang Yuan.
According to the plot, although Liu Chunjiang played by Zhang Yuan and Xiao Lian played by Xu Lu are in love with each other, they are unable to break the class gap caused by their status and are obstructed by the Liu family.
In order to deceive their son, the parents came up with a bridal sedan trick. On the day of the wedding, they tricked the little girl in the sedan chair into the eldest daughter of the Lin family, in an attempt to force their son to succumb to reality.
In the end, Xiao Lian became a monk and became a nun. When Liu Chunjiang learned about this, he rushed to the nunnery and vomited blood and died on the spot after seeing the back of his lover who had lost his hair.
In fact, this paragraph draws on the trick of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang in the sequel to Gao E's "A Dream of Red Mansions", using Xue Baochai to replace Lin Daiyu to marry Baoyu. In the end, Daiyu died suddenly on the night of Baoyu's wedding.
When Liu Guoquan saw this adaptation, he exclaimed that it was exquisite and said that Zhang Yuan had seen through "Golden Dust" and "Red Mansions".
"The third scene of "The Golden Family", the first shot, the first time, ACTION!" The scene recorder said, and filming officially started.
Zhang Yuan ran like crazy from the bottom of the mountain along the steps carved out of the stone to the top of the mountain, trying to get even one minute earlier, one second to see his lover and hold him in his arms.
Once, twice, three times...
The camera team needs to adjust the shooting angle, and there are too many force majeures in the location, making it difficult to do it once.
This section of stone steps is only about 50 meters, not too long, but quite steep. It also needs to show the character's anxiety, so Zhang Yuan can only run as fast as he can.
After several trips, my bangs were covered with beads of sweat, and the front of my shirt was soaked with sweat.
He was panting heavily, but the crew’s time was money, and they didn’t wait for anyone.
“The Golden Family, third scene, first shot, ninth shot, ACTION!”
After giving the order, Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and rushed up the steps again without taking a rest. But this time he was not careful and ran halfway...
He only heard a "plop" sound, and he tripped over the stone steps. He threw himself forward and his knees caught the edge of the stone steps.
"Stuck! Go and help!" Li Dawei quickly shouted to stop.
“Are you sure you’re fine?”
"I can persist." Zhang Yuan bared his teeth and rubbed his knees, shaking his head.
“Okay, this scene will use the materials from the previous ones. Let’s go and shoot the scene in the temple to give you a rest.”
The whole group moved to the top of the mountain. The temple has set up the machine.
The following scene does not have any lines, and relies entirely on expressions and body movements to express the characters.
Putting on a bald hair condom, Xu Lu knelt in front of the Buddha statue and got ready.
"ACTION!"
Liu Chunjiang, played by Zhang Yuan, was out of breath and dragged his tired steps to the temple gate.
He held the door panel tremblingly. At this time, his face was pale and his eye circles were slightly red. He was like a bull fighting a trapped beast, as if he would fall to the ground in the next second. , relying on his thoughts to support his last breath.
After seeing Xiao Lian, who had become a nun, Zhang Yuan's eyes were startled at first, and then became confused, as if he didn't believe what was happening in front of him at all.
After a few seconds, his cheeks began to tremble slightly, and his eyes changed from confusion to despair again.
"The eyes changed three times in a few seconds..." Chen Kun, who was peeking not far away, was slightly surprised, and Qiao Zhenyu on the side also narrowed his eyes extremely seriously.
However, despair was just the beginning. The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water. Along with his throat, it seemed that something was about to burst out from Zhang Yuan's chest.
Poof!
A mouthful of blood spilled into the air, and a few touches of bright red slipped from the corners of Zhang Yuan's mouth.
At this time, his originally pale face lost all color again, as white as the white walls of a hospital operating room.
The whole person seemed to have had his spine ripped out, and slowly fell backwards.
Bang!
The body fell, splashing with dust. Zhang Yuan seemed to have turned into dust at this moment, saying goodbye to the world.
“Stuck!” Li Dawei choked and shouted, then wiped the tears from his eyes with his arm.
The same goes for many on-site staff. They were all affected by Zhang Yuan's performance. Their eyes turned red and they felt the sadness of the characters in the play.
"Great!" Li Dawei adjusted his mood and took the lead in applauding.
To be honest, he was a little worried before the filming started. Although Gao Qunshu told him that Zhang Yuan's performance was absolutely fine, he had also seen auditions without physical objects, but he didn't know how the on-site effect would be.
Looking at it now, there is nothing else to say except thumbs up. The mood is better than he imagined.
Chen Kun, who was peeping from the side, was wiping away tears. The actor's emotions were richer than ordinary people.
"Kun, this guy is really capable!" Qiao Zhenyu wiped his tears on Chen Kun's clothes, but was pushed away in disgust.
"He is indeed capable. His eyes, expressions, and body parts are all in place, but I can't figure it out."
"What's wrong?"
"How did he make his face look paler and paler? Yes, this cannot be controlled by humans.”
Chen Kun, who considers himself a professional, is confused and even wants to learn.
Coincidentally, during the intermission, Zhang Yuan came to rest on a stone bench nearby, less than five meters away from the "peeping" group.
They saw Zhang Yuan roll up the legs of his trousers little by little, all the way to his knees.
A large bruise ranging from purple to black appeared on Zhang Yuan’s right knee. Not to mention the blow, it was so oozing!
"Damn it, you were so seriously injured just now. Medical care, come here, a medical kit!" Li Dawei was startled and hurriedly called for help.
Chen Kun opened his mouth, and then his face showed bitterness.
“I finally know why his face turns pale and why his painful expression when vomiting blood is so realistic.”
"I know it too." Qiao Zhenyu's hands were shaking, expressing fear.
This is not staged, it really hurts!
Chen Kunxin said, how can I learn this?
“Kun, we have met a ruthless person!”
Thanks to Chaotang Mirror for the reward, and I wish book friends a smooth sailing in 2024.
