infinite gravity

This time I went to the villa to shoot a promotional video for Ruiyi's new series. Ruiyi also spent a lot of energy on its new series for new markets, and actually asked Xie Daoshan to direct the film himself.

Director Xie was also a famous figure in the film and television industry in his early years. He directed many phenomenal TV series and made blockbuster movies. Although he has faded out of the film and television industry for many years, his prestige is still there.

It is said that this director Xie is also a strict master. He strives for excellence in creation, is meticulous in his films, and has very strict requirements on actors and crew members. There is a rumor that Director Xie once made a handsome man Actors cursed and cried, and some said that Director Xie dared to yell at the producer who meddled in directing, and people in the circle sneaked the nickname "Huo/Yao Xie".

Zhang Yan swallowed hard, feeling a little guilty.

Although he has studied acting, he is a singer after all. Learning acting is just a routine basic course for artists. He has only shot occasional personal image promotional videos and ordinary advertisements that only need to be handsome and show off. I have never made any serious films, and I can say that I have zero acting experience. It is estimated that Wen Da's agent, who can change his face faster than flipping a book, has better acting skills than him.

"Look at your worthless appearance!" Seeing Zhang Yan's pale face, as if a catastrophe was imminent, Ah Wen gave him a slap with hatred, "Don't worry, thank you, senior, how can you act like a professional actor?" To ask you, a little singer, to show some enthusiasm! We have already said hello, and Director Xie will not make things difficult for you."

Zhang Yan sneered at Ah Wen's disapproval: "It's not you who went to act, of course you don't feel back pain when you stand and talk."

Anticipating that Zhang Yan would refute with fallacies, Ah Wen glanced at him and resorted to his trump card: "Manager Mu is watching from the sidelines, do you want your old friend to see your worthless appearance?"

After helping a few staff members move the equipment, Mu Zheng, who was invited out to rest tremblingly, was sitting under a sun umbrella drinking coffee with nothing to do. Today, he rarely changed into casual clothes, and even put on a black frame Glasses, thin bangs drooping obediently in front of the forehead, out of tune with the busy crowd around, looking extraordinarily relaxed and comfortable, in other words, he looks even more uncle than the difficult Mr. Xie.

Aware of the two gazes from the opposite side, Mu Zheng smiled slightly, and raised his coffee cup to salute Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan instantly revived with full blood.

"Leave it to me! I'll let you see the potential of your artist!"

Zhang Yan exercised his muscles and bones, and rushed to the battlefield with arrogance and arrogance.

"Tsk tsk, as expected, the mention of Mu Zheng will result in IQ arrears." A Wen concluded with disgust behind him.

The story of the film is the same as the promotional theme of the new series, with the core of "youth" and "courage".

The protagonist played by Zhang Yan, a basketball player, is composed of three stages. When he was a teenager, he was full of energy and his basketball talent first appeared; when he was young, he entered the professional basketball league as he wished and became a basketball star in the sky, but retired due to injury; The middle-aged is decadent and self-defeating. After experiencing an adventure, he regains his original intention and cheers up.

In the first two stages, Zhang Yan acted in his true colors. Although Zhang Yan has always said that he is a "stupid big guy", in fact he is also a good player in basketball.When he picked up the basketball and galloped across the court, moved flexibly, jumped and shot, he really appeared in front of people like the genius boy in the story.

He was bold and fearless when he was a teenager, and he showed his sharpness when he was young, and became the most dazzling new star on the court.

However, luck and misfortune are changing, the arena is impermanent, and if one is not careful, there will be hidden dangers. The intensive and high-pressure competition finally completely crushes the young man's strong body and leaves the beloved arena sadly.

More than ten years later, in his middle age, he passed by the basketball court where he used to go when he was young, looking at the tall basket, his eyes were devastated.

Da da da.

A basketball rolled to his feet, and a little boy ran and shouted, "Uncle, can you pick it up for me?"

He didn't move, letting the basketball roll past his feet.

"oops!"

Seeing that the basketball was about to roll off the court, the little boy had no choice but to quicken his pace, and finally picked it up before it ran far away. He picked up the ball and ran back. Push the ball in front of the man:

"Uncle, do you want to play together?"

"Crack!"

An earth-shattering shout broke the harmonious scene. Director Xie rolled the script into a tube and waved it up and down, as if the idiot on the neck of the target of his anger was right in front of his eyes.

"Zhang Yan! What's wrong! Pay attention to your expression! Watch your eyes! You are a frustrated old man now! Show the feeling of a frustrated person!"

"Yes, director, I will pay attention." Zhang Yan bowed his head apologetically, he never avoided his mistakes.

"Be sure to catch your eyes properly." Director Xie instructed again, and turned around to greet the staff, "Do it again, everyone takes their positions, and get ready—action!"

The little actor playing the little boy ran into the camera with the ball in his arms, passed by the down-and-out man, hesitated for a while and handed the ball to the man: "Uncle, do you want to play together?"

"I do not······"

"Crack - click! click! click!"

Director Xie's hoarse roar echoed in the crew, and the script in his hand was almost dried up by him into crumpled pickles.

"Zhang Yan! Perform, perform, perform! Eyes, eyes! I want you to have the vicissitudes of middle-aged poverty! I don't want you to pretend to be a dead face for me! You look in the mirror! Take a camera, show him what he looks like!"

The director's firepower was raging, and the cameraman didn't dare to neglect, so he trot to Zhang Yan's side to show him his performance just now.In the small shot, the boy’s expression is sincere and anticipating, and the desolate man in front of the boy seems to be described only by dead fish eyes…

Zhang Yan knew where he was short at a glance, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry director, I will try my best to adjust."

"It's actually not difficult to try to figure out the character's heart." Dao Xie asked again, and ordered to do it again.

The little boy handed the ball in front of his eyes, and asked with fear and anticipation: "Uncle, let's go together..."

"Crack-"

This time, before the little actor finished speaking, Director Xie yelled and cut it off: "Zhang Yan! Change your mood more! Imagine the protagonist's conflicted mood at this moment! Come again!"

After repeating this several times, Zhang Yan's performance was not satisfactory. Director Xie's voice was hoarse, the script in his hand was almost cut into two pieces, even the young actors showed displeasure, and the crew members showed their faces one after another. Tired and even more impolite, he turned his blameful eyes on Zhang Yan.

"Crack!"

I don't know how many times I called to stop, Director Xie finally couldn't bear it, threw the script to the ground, pointed at Zhang Yan and yelled:

"For the sake of you not being a professional actor, I have been enduring it, but how many times have you told me to pay attention to your eyes and try to figure out the role? Did you ignore it! So many times a sow can climb a tree! How do you You are so stupid!"

Dao Xie was so angry that he had no scruples in speaking, Ah Wen's face changed, and he was about to speak out to persuade him, but after a second thought, he held back.

It is a fact that Zhang Yan's poor condition has dragged down the entire crew, and some staff members have already expressed dissatisfaction.Moreover, although Director Xie scolded badly, he was right. This role is not very difficult to perform. Although Zhang Yan is acting for the first time, at least he has attended classes and is a person who has a foundation in acting. Director Xie even called goodbye before. Even if the actor is a model for him, he still can't act well, and as a manager, it's not good for her to favor too much at this time.

As for Zhang Yan, he kept his head down and kept silent, with his hands hanging obediently by his side, even if he was scolded like this, he would not refute.

His family background is actually very good, and he is also the kind of master who was used to growing up since he was a child. Since his debut, he has been smooth and popular in the circle, and it is the first time someone has scolded him so unceremoniously. , but he can't refute it, after all, he really didn't do a good job.

Mu Zheng was like a spectator from the beginning to the end, sitting on the side drinking his coffee, he frowned slightly when he saw Zhang Yan obediently bowing his head and allowing Director Xie to scold non-stop.

He put down the coffee, and pulled the sleeve of Liu Mingxue standing beside him:

"Sister Xue, I think that young actor is very tired, please give Director Xie a rest, otherwise it is not good for people to misunderstand that our company treats young people harshly."

Liu Mingxue knew the elegance after hearing the string song, and knew that the crown prince wanted her as the producer to rescue Zhang Yan. Of course, she was also very happy to be a favor.

Under Liu Mingxue's manipulation, the crew quickly got a few minutes of respite.

Ah Wen had already prepared the mineral water and waited aside. Seeing Zhang Yan walking down listlessly, he quickly handed him the water, and patted him on the shoulder encouragingly: "Don't be discouraged, go to rest and you will adjust yourself."

Zhang Yan took the water and didn't unscrew it to drink. He walked back to the villa alone with the water, sat down on the sofa, raised his head against the back of the sofa, covered his face with a towel, and didn't know what he was thinking.

A cold object was suddenly pressed against the clinker's cheek, Zhang Yan shivered from the cold, and the towel slipped off his face.

"When Young Master Zhang is depressed, he needs a glass of iced Coke to stimulate him, doesn't he?" Mu Zheng shook the Coke in his hand and smiled.

"Thank you." Zhang Yan took the Coke, opened it, raised his head and poured it into his mouth in big gulps, making a loud swallowing sound in his throat.

Mu Zheng sat on the sofa opposite Zhang Yan, saw him like this, thought about his words, and asked carefully, "It's hard to accept being scolded so badly for the first time, isn't it?"

Zhang Yan, who was gulping down Coke, was almost stunned by his sudden statement: "How can I be depressed because of this, I'm not a child anymore, I can't bear to be scolded. I just... a little... Um, frustrated."

"Ok?"

"Since I was young, I have always felt that I am quite capable, and I can do whatever I want, such as becoming a good buddy with you smoothly, such as getting into a key high school with you smoothly, such as me and you..." to the mouth The words were swallowed suddenly, and Zhang Yan changed the topic, "The entertainment industry is doing well, and I haven't encountered any major problems so far. I didn't expect...but I was stuck in acting. Director Xie said that he would perform 30 I really can't understand the feeling of a multi-year-old man losing his goal."

"Have you lost your goal..." Mu Zheng chewed on this sentence and asked, "The hero of the film lost his goal in life because of injury, that is his most precious thing, maybe... you Can it be regarded as the feeling of being robbed of your favorite toy when you were a child?"

Zhang Yan laughed: "Are you sure that I won't act like a brat making trouble for no reason?"

Mu Zheng recalled Zhang Yan's appearance as a domineering young master when he was a child, and he thought so, and made himself laugh.

"Who wants you to really act as a child, I mean that feeling, a beloved toy when I was a child is the treasure of the whole world, the saddest thing is to lose something you love and never get it back, I think the heroine of the film Emotion is the suppressed version of this emotion..."

"The most precious thing?"

Zhang Yan muttered these words, and his eyes fell on Mu Zheng. The eyes were too naked and contained a kind of direct and strong emotion, which made Mu Zheng feel a little nervous.

"I know how to act!" Zhang Yan stood up suddenly, and put the empty Coke bottle on the table, "This time I will definitely be able to do it once! Nothing can stop me, Zhang Yan!"

Leaving behind the rhetoric, Zhang Yan once again set off with great vigor.

"Director Xie!" Back at the shooting location, Zhang Yan walked straight up to Director Xie, as if he didn't see Director Xie's face as black as coal, and said loudly: "I have adjusted, please give me another chance, I'm sure I can do well this time!"

Director Xie looked at the young man in front of him. He was no longer depressed like before. At this moment, his back was straight, his smile was full of confidence and sincerity, as if nothing could destroy the pride in his heart. Infected.

"Okay! I hope your performance can be as you said! Basuke, call someone to start work!"

The director roared, and the crew members from all departments arrived quickly. Only Mu Zheng, who had nothing to do, walked out of the villa slowly. Zhang Yan turned back and waved at him:

"Ah Zheng, you are still sitting on the side for a while, don't leave! Be sure to let me see!"

Mu Zheng: "???"
