Huo Ling's new film "The Seat" is scheduled to start shooting at the end of August, and all the actors and actresses have to rush to a scorching northern city one month in advance to familiarize themselves with the filming location and the crew.

The subject of the film is school violence, which is rarely involved in today's film and television. The role of Yi Chang is a high school student who at the beginning stood by and watched the violence suffered by his classmates, and then was killed by rampant perpetrators.In order to better show the authenticity of the story, the casting this time is all young actors around 20 years old.Huo Ling was very satisfied with Yi Chang after the male number three audition, and soon decided to let him join the crew.

In order to create a depressing atmosphere, the crew only turned on the film in the early hours of the morning, and the actors basically got up immediately after falling asleep.Because of his lack of confidence in his acting skills, Yi Chang had to check the script with Huo Ling or the assistant director before shooting a scene.Huo Ling is naturally much busier than him, but seeing him working so hard, he is happy to help him in his spare time.

Even so, he was still powerless during the filming process.The first part of the scene was relatively peaceful and simple. Although it was repeated many times, it also reached a high degree of completion. However, in the later scenes with fierce conflicts, he almost lost control.

His final scene sees his tormentors punching and kicking him before torturing him to death with his latest murder toy.In order to pursue authenticity, the director requires the actors to perform all the scenes including violence in person, but the intensity can be reduced out of consideration for actors who accept violence, and the visual effect can be increased by post-editing splicing.

His mind started to go haywire as the opposing actor's foot stepped on him.

Those fragmented memories began to flood in again, and he was surrounded by a strong sense of suffocation.Although those messy hallucinations are not enough to completely control his behavior, they are enough to affect his rational thinking.

……

In fits of real spasm, he forgot all of his next lines.

After shouting ten times, the director finally lost his patience.He asked him to adjust, and told him to rest for a while if he was too tired.Because this scene is crucial to revealing the core of the movie, Huo Lingcai, contrary to the usual devil training, treated his extreme abnormality gently.

Thinking of this, he felt even more guilty.

He thought that those dark experiences had been buried in the very distant past, and at that time he had no idea how it would affect the future.Later, after living with Shen Yusheng and Xu Xiang, he felt that he had completely thrown away the shadows and could live a completely normal life.

It's just that he didn't expect it to appear without warning and become an obstacle that he needs to overcome in his career.

He returned to the room early and fell down on the bed, unconsciously took out his mobile phone, found his favorite name in the address book and dialed it.The other side quickly picked it up, making him sit up in a jerk.

The other side of the phone seemed to be on the street, and the voice was a bit noisy.When the familiar voice sounded, his heart also jumped violently.

"Xiao Chang, why haven't you come back recently?"

"I'm very busy at school, I have an exam recently..." He found that his ability to lie was getting stronger and stronger, "Brother, have you been busy recently?"

"I'm fine, I'm preparing for a game recently."

The two chatted a few more words casually, and gradually became speechless.He found sadly that he and his brother had very little in common.In the gap of silence, he almost blurted out "I miss you", but he felt that it was too direct.

After a while, he said: "Brother, my birthday is coming soon, can you accompany me? It will be the fifth day of next month."

"Okay. You come back early. I'll ask mom to make some delicious food. She already said that she misses you." In the quiet environment like a corridor, Shen Yusheng's voice was very clear and gentle.

After hanging up the phone, he felt as if he had come alive again, and began to look forward to that day.

Before the filming of the last scene resumed, he mustered up the courage to go to Huo Ling again and asked him how to resolve his psychological barriers when acting.

Probably because after being in the entertainment industry for a long time, Huo Ling is not surprised. He told him to learn to withdraw properly when he is in trouble, and to observe and express the characters from the perspective of a bystander. In this way, you can have a lot more control over your performance.

He looked like he didn't understand, and felt that these words were a bit difficult for a newcomer, so he could only ask him to do his best, at least remember the lines and the main emotional expressions, and other details can be dealt with later.

Yi Chang was still out of state for the first few lines of the day, either because his lines lacked emotion or his facial expressions were too strong, the director team frowned.After Huo Ling called the card for the fourth time, he even had the urge to quit acting.

During the break, the opponent actor came over and apologized to him, saying that he knew his scene was difficult, and that he suffered so many punches for his hard work.But in fact, he didn't mind at all, he just blamed himself for dragging down the whole crew.

Before the fifth round started, the assistant director couldn't help but said to Huo Ling: "Or just use the last one, the last part about dying is too much for a newcomer, this child's experience can't handle this."

The original script of this film described the plot here very bloody and dark, but Huo Ling insisted on keeping it and only modified it in details.In fact, even if it is filmed, such a picture may suffer the fate of being cropped out of practical considerations later, and the actors' efforts in every possible way will be in vain in the end.

Huo Ling pondered for a while and said, "Let him try again."

The assistant director looked at his stubborn face, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the young actor.

Yi Chang leaned in front of the props and watched the director team whispering, thinking that there was still hope for the previous one to pass, but it turned out that he was still too naive.Huo Ling is famous for his pursuit of perfection, he can only try to adjust himself.

He tried his best to keep himself awake like a bystander, but every time the gain outweighed the loss, it seemed that Huo Ling's method didn't work for him.He can't copy it, so he can only ask for blessings.

Since rationality is useless, use your subconscious to break the boat.

All personnel are ready, and another reincarnation begins.Under great pressure, he completely immersed himself in the role in his familiar experiential way.

He imagined that he was the cowardly, selfish, villain who just wanted to see other people's jokes.

He was already so ugly, yet he was terribly afraid of this magnanimous and vicious person in front of him.Every look, every violent movement of the other party made him tremble with fear, for fear that he would die in his hands, even if everything was a battle between trapped beasts.

Perhaps, the other party's bitter sarcasm about what he did was once an indisputable bloody fact.Perhaps, he was already doomed.

Maybe, he is him...

In a nightmarish situation, he held on to the violent dialogue and the convulsions under the electric shock at the end.After it was over, he lay motionless on the cold concrete floor, as if he had been drained dry.

The director team was silent for a long time, and the other actors and the big brothers in the photography team also wiped off their sweat. The scene just now had a big impact on them.

After a while, Yi Chang got up from the ground, his body was still shaking.He pulled up his wet bangs wearily, and found that he was afraid to watch the playback anymore.

When he was in a daze, Huo Ling came over and asked him how he was feeling with concern.

"The effect was very good just now," the usually serious director smiled at this time, "Although some lines are chaotic, the mood is very good."

"Thank you Director Huo. I'm fine, just take it easy." He was glad that there would be no next time.

The other party helped him, and patted him on the shoulder after he stood up: "Is there anything difficult... Take your time, kid."
