I want to make headlines

Chapter 194 Sickness

The lead actor and the director reached a consensus, and the shooting went extremely smoothly.

Gan Jing is a young man, and the male protagonist is a middle-aged man who is the father of two children. Before the filming started, everyone knew that this would be a big challenge, but unexpectedly, Gan Jing was shocked by the state he showed during the filming. Everyone in the crew.

Director Iñárrido is the one in charge, and because of this factor has added confidence in the final cut.

The overall atmosphere of "Beautiful Mistakes" is dark and gloomy, and the protagonist is lonely and decadent. Against this background, Ukbauer's responsibility and kindness towards children and others become more and more like a dark light. The candlelight in the middle is average.

Although faint, it is clearly visible.

However, this kind of visibility can only last for two months. I have to say, it is really cruel.

As the performance became more and more excellent, Gan Jing gradually became a little silent after filming. It was not the people around him who first discovered that his condition was wrong, but Hao Rong, who communicated with him almost every day by video.

The curriculum of Chinese opera is not too tight, but Hao Rong has a lot to do as the head of the department.

In order to communicate with a group of students about their on-set practice, Hao Rong cut off contact with Gan Jing for a few days, and it was night in Barcelona when he made another video call.

"Gan Jing?"

It took Hao Rong a long time to get a response to his video request. The video on the screen was turned on, and the lights in the familiar room across the street were not turned on. The scene of Gan Jing sitting by the bed was a bit blurry.

"En." After the attenuation of the network, Gan Jing's voice was a little erratic.

Frowning, Hao Rong felt that something was wrong, but he still asked as usual: "Has the shooting gone well in the past few days? Looking at the script, your shooting progress is quite fast."

Originally, a young man was used, and Inarrito was prepared to polish it carefully, but Gan Jing’s unexpected hot state caught everyone by surprise. As a result, sometimes some reshoots were due to the lack of preparation by others. .

Among them, Luo Jin's performance is not quite up to standard.

"Yes, this week will probably be over." Gan Jing's voice was a little low, and he turned his face to the side, with an expression of unspeakable pain.

Hao Rong paused, firstly congratulated Gan Jing on his progress, and then said seemingly unintentionally: "I enlightened a student yesterday" - this was made up by him, "He is more involved in acting, and sometimes even a little distracted." I don't know what's going on in and out of the play, but I'm quite optimistic about him. Such students can often perform. But, I also told him."

Staring at the image on the screen seriously, Hao Rong softened his voice and said in an elder-like way: "It's right that drama is like life, and drama is like life. The reverse is not so good, life is not drama."

"We actors must have an anchor point, and we must be able to stop and return to reality after a play. Every actor must find his own point."

Gan Jing finally showed some expression and smiled. He didn't point out Hao Rong's kindness, but he was very grateful in his heart: "Teacher Hao, I'm fine."

"That's good. When you finish filming and go back to China, my friend here will give you a few more bottles of good wine. When you come to taste, if you don't come, I won't open it." Hao Rong did not directly comfort him, but guided him from the side .

Gan Jing nodded and hung up the video.

In the study, Hao Rong frowned at the computer screen for a while, got up and went to the door and shouted to his wife: "Honey, wife, find someone to buy me a few bottles of Moutai, I will use it later."

"Okay. Got it, drink it, drink it, you know how to drink it."

Hao Rong smiled slightly, and returned to the study, thinking about how to relieve Gan Jing face to face in a few days.

He felt that Gan Jing probably encountered the same problems that many actors would encounter. He was too involved in the play and was a little depressed—the script of "Beautiful Mistakes" was on the desk, and Hao Rong knew how depressing this book was.

Life and death, suffering, tragedy, and responsibility are all intertwined, but Ukbauer has a delicate and sensitive mind, which is really a difficult role.

However, it shouldn't be a big problem to just shoot such a movie. Hao Rong made a judgment like this, and after thinking for a while, he began to deal with other things.

However, things are not as Hao Rong imagined.

Gan Jing's situation is much more serious.

What he endured was not only the emotions of the characters substituted in the script of "Beautiful Mistakes", but also the ups and downs of "Farewell My Concubine".

In order to perform this movie well, Gan Jing has been substituting into Leslie Cheung's pinnacle work in addition to filming. Compared with real-life shooting, this kind of original investment is more troublesome.

Before Hao Rong warned Gan Jing that drama is like life, but life is not drama.

However, in "Farewell My Concubine", Cheng Dieyi is a character who can't distinguish between drama and life, and finally falls into a smoldering jade, committing suicide.

Cheng Dieyi's sadness, slenderness, and sensitivity are better than Ukebauer's, and it is difficult for anyone to escape under the transformation of the great era.

If you are not crazy, you will not survive. Cheng Dieyi is crazy and has become a generation of art masters.

Gan Jing was also crazy, and the performance of "Beautiful Mistake" went smoothly.

All the people in the crew who have watched his performance were convinced. With his strong and precise control, and his sorrowful and hard-to-express emotions, Gan Jing's performance left people speechless.

In particular, the two actors from China, Cheng Taishen and Luo Jin, felt more deeply.

Cheng Taishen is better. As an actor who often hangs in the art circle, he watched Gan Jing's "Mei Lanfang" at the very beginning, but he was amazed at Gan Jing's progress so much. .

In contrast, he has hardly seen such a role performance in recent years.

But also because it is a foreign film after all, although he participated in it, Cheng Taishen still watched it with an appreciation.

Not so Luo Jin.

The initial dissatisfaction and little jealousy have disappeared without a trace. In this drama, he is not complicated. He plays the role of a homosexual and shows off his figure in a scene by the way-this is what he should be proud of. and something to be proud of.

But this kind of advantage that was originally proud of was shattered in front of Gan Jing's acting skills, and even the scum could not be found.

In the rivalry with Gan Jing, Luo Jin sometimes felt that the one standing in front of him was not the young Gan Jing from Huaxia at all, but Ukebauer who was oppressed by life, life and death, and the environment.

This realization is increasingly frustrating, but it is also really motivating for young people.

Luo Jin really regards himself as a young man at this moment, and not the other party as a young man-maybe this is due to the comfort brought by makeup technology.

In any case, Luo Jin, who was born in Beijing Film Academy, made up his mind to take the line of acting after returning to China, rather than the line of beautiful boys in a vase.

In his mind, "Beautiful Mistakes" was quietly completed in a state of rapidity.

December 31st happened to be the day that the Gregorian calendar year was about to pass.
