self-awareness

Two days later, the filming of Ye Tang's last scene in "Wu Huang" was about to be completed.

It was rare for lunch to be served, and Ye Tang had time to go back to the hotel to rest, but there were guests outside the door.

Ye Tang opened the door, but Li Mingchuan walked in swaggeringly.

With a "snap", Li Mingchuan threw a copy of printing paper on the bed, and said with a happy face, "It's for you."

Ye Tang opened the book, not without surprise, he found that it was a script. Looking carefully, there were quite a few lines from "Killer One", and they were all highlighted with a highlighter.

Ye Tang was puzzled, this is not the script he got in his hand, the script in his hand is only a few pages, "What is this?"

"The play that the screenwriter added to you."

Ye Tang: "?"

Li Mingchuan: "I've already told Mr. Gu to send you an assistant. You have to stay on the set for a while."

Li Mingchuan couldn't stop the smile from the corners of his eyes, feeling a little complacent.

Ye Tang's first reaction was that Li Mingchuan did something wrong, right?Just blurted out: "What did you do?"

Li Mingchuan picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and said, "I didn't do anything. The director and the screenwriter agreed to give you more roles. Your current role has a name, and it's called 'One'."

From Killer [-] to Killer [-], the seemingly subtle changes made this role fundamentally different from before, and the order of the cast would also undergo considerable adjustments as a result.

Ye Tang was always full of question marks, "Why did you think of adding a play to me?"

Li Mingchuan: "Feng Lun personally went to the scene and rewritten it on the spot after watching your performance. Do you know how much recognition this is for you?"

Ye Tang thought to Feng Lun, who is Feng Lun?This screenwriter who sees the beginning and the end of the dragon is well known in the circle, but he himself is extremely mysterious and rarely appears in front of the public eye.

Ye Tang quickly flipped through the script, and found that many of his scenes were against Li Mingchuan. After reading a few paragraphs carefully, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Why does the killer have feelings for Liu Che...?" Ye Tang asked uncertainly, suspecting that he was wrong.

The script seems to have added a lot of emotional scenes for Killer One, and there is a section where Killer One recalls that he was chosen to be Liu Che's personal bodyguard when he was young.Accompanied by the killer, Liu Che's admiration and love for Liu Che gradually deteriorated and warmed up over time. When he realized that his unspeakable feelings for Liu Che were actually admiration, he deeply understood that this was against the norm.He thought about leaving, but finally chose to stay. His repression, forbearance, and unrequited love gave this character a very conflicting color.

Such a role may be extremely controversial, but if grasped well, it can also be extremely brilliant.

Of course, Li Mingchuan would not tell Ye Tang that he also participated in the discussion of the plot setting. After the director talked about the spark between the two of them, he just guided him a bit, and the director and screenwriter made the decision, almost It was tailor-made to write such a role for Ye Tang.

Li Mingchuan: "Why not? Killer One is a fictitious character, no matter how you write it, you can't exaggerate it."

What Li Mingchuan hasn't said yet is that the screenwriter Feng Lun is a comrade himself. In writing such a small fictional character in this grand movie story, it is actually a little selfish and a little bit of his own sustenance.

The producer also happily did not express any objection to this change. In fact, many teams are now trying to catch the attention of male stars who sell corruption. Although it is risky to add such elements to "A Generation of Martial Emperor", But it is not a bad thing in terms of publicity. As long as they grasp the scale accurately and pass the test of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, there will be no major problems in other matters.

Ye Tang was dubious, and under Li Mingchuan's righteous propaganda, he did not raise any objections.

But soon, Ye Tang realized that his trust in Li Mingchuan was a little too optimistic.

"Wuhuang" No.80, the second scene of the nine scenes.

Li Mingchuan took off only a pair of skin-colored underwear, and sat comfortably in the huge ancient hot spring bath, leaning against the pool as if enjoying himself.The water in the pool was cold, but because it was midsummer and the climate was hot, Li Mingchuan didn't feel cold, but rather cool.

Ye Tang was wearing a black nocturnal suit, kneeling by the pool with a complicated expression, holding a bath towel as a prop in his hand, he didn't understand how to make a movie with a good texture, and now it has become a meat scene.

Before the filming started, Li Mingchuan bare his proud chest without any shame, and turned his head to look at Ye Tang.

Li Mingchuan: "You look really good in ancient costumes, don't take fashion dramas from now on."

He was very satisfied with the appearance of Ye Tang, a forbearing and stern killer. Ye Tang's skin was delicate and smooth, and his facial features always seemed to be spotless. Under the sculpting of light makeup, he looked very beautiful. His well-shaped eyebrows flew into his temples, and his eyes His eyes are filled with a different kind of style, as if he has been tainted with secular love by a person who does not eat fireworks, and has a secret sense of taboo, but that person is completely unaware of his brilliance and allure.

Ye Tang: "Actors don't choose books because they are good-looking..."

Li Mingchuan said nonchalantly: "That's how I picked the books, otherwise why do you think I took this role?"

Ye Tang: "..."

Indeed, it would be impossible for Young Master Li to act ugly. Almost every work of Li Mingchuan was a hit and well-received, and there was not a single character that was not handsome enough to drive female fans crazy.

Li Mingchuan watched the staff not far away doing the final adjustments before shooting, and said in a low voice: "How about I ask the screenwriter to think about it and add a sex scene for you and me?"

Ye Tang was startled, and immediately refused: "No need."

Li Mingchuan looked dissatisfied with desire, and said: "I only see pigs running all day long, but I can't eat pork. You are too cruel."

After being in the group for so long, he has never had the opportunity to be intimate with Ye Tang. Firstly, it is difficult to match the timing. Secondly, the pressure of filming is really heavy. Sometimes he can only sleep for two hours at a time, which is very tiring.But now seeing Ye Tang, he couldn't help but want to tease him. Ye Tang's ears were red and he tried to be calm. He really couldn't get enough of it.

Ye Tang: "..."

Ye Tang knew that Li Mingchuan was just talking about it. In fact, the two of them hardly had any extra time to interact with each other in the crew except for the rivalry. On the contrary, Liao Zhan and Li Mingchuan were in pairs from time to time. I heard that there was no rest time for the show. Liao Zhan will also come to the set to "watch" Li Mingchuan's filming. Many people think that this rapidly rising young actor has no airs and knows how to make progress, and they have very good evaluations of him.

But looking at Li Mingchuan's bright eyes made him feel hairy on his back, as if he was being targeted by a predator. He warned himself not to think too much, Li Mingchuan's rank is too high, this kind of falsehood, truth , is not what he can handle.

Fortunately, the password to start the machine sounded quickly, and all the jobs were immediately in place. Li Mingchuan and Ye Tang also entered their roles as quickly as possible.

This scene is about the moment when the killer waits for Liu Che to take a bath, and Li Mingchuan shows up naked, which is considered a benefit for the audience. Although the important parts are protected, the screen will still arouse fans' imaginations.

In the whole scene, the two don't have many lines, and the screen will focus on close-ups of the facial expressions of the two. One is deeply in love, and the other is ignorant. The inner struggle of the characters is conveyed by subtle eyes and expressions.

The killer held a bath towel in one hand, and carefully wiped his master's back. Liu Che's eyes were slightly closed, and he rested his eyes on the edge of the pool.

The usually stern killer lost his calm in the shadow of swords and swords, his eyes seemed to be struggling, and his breathing was a little disturbed, which was soon noticed by Liu Che.

Liu Che still closed his eyes, and said, "You are restless, what is bothering you?"

As soon as the killer lowered his head and knelt down, even if Liu Che couldn't see him, his kneeling posture was always meticulous.

"Subordinates should die."

"Whether you should die or not is up to me. Since I haven't wanted you to die yet, I'll leave your life to me."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Liu Che didn't pursue it any further, the killer waited for a while before he dared to resume his actions, his expression concentrated.

"Card!"

The director took this shot several times, and finally called Ye Tang aside to talk about the scene.

The chief director, Mao Qi, has long gray hair like a golden lion king, and two deep blue and black tear grooves under his eyes.

He folded his arms and said: "Your eyes are not enough, I need more, and a little more intense, can you do it?"

Ye Tang looked at the playback screen, trying to figure out how strong the director's words should be.

Movies are not like stage plays. They often don’t need exaggerated emotional expressions, and they pay more attention to a precise scale. Otherwise, after a close-up shot is zoomed in on the giant screen of the movie, it will appear too hard, and on the contrary, it’s too much. It's good to play up to seven points of emotions, but this theory doesn't count here in Maoqi.

"Look here, there is struggle in your eyes, but you are too restrained and calm." Mao Qi asked, "Do you have a lover?"

Ye Tang froze for a moment, and saw Li Mingchuan not far behind the director.

Mao Qi asked himself and answered: "Don't tell me there is no, there is no now, and there was before. I want you to recall the time when you loved the deepest and most intensely, and think about what it was like to see the person who made you obsessed so much that you couldn't extricate yourself. feeling."

Mao Qi continued to drive Ye Tang's emotions, and said: "The relationship between the killer and Liu Che is like this. He is obsessed with Liu Che, madly infatuated, but Liu Che is a high-ranking emperor. He is just a slave. As a man, he This kind of feeling is not recognized, even thinking about it is a blasphemy to the emperor, he will never get the person standing on the cloud, he is inferior, he hates himself for his dirty feelings, he suffers, He was wandering, all the emotions piled up, and he was about to be tortured and crazy."

Mao Qi: "I want to see that emotion in your eyes, I want to see that you are about to lose control of your nerves, the way you are on the verge of bursting, the way you are about to collapse but not collapse, understand what I mean? "

Ye Tang nodded, thinking of a person's shadow all the time in his heart, after understanding the image that Mao Qi was pursuing in his heart, he raised his eyes again, and his eyes changed.

Seeing that his guidance had worked, Maoqi quickly got all the jobs in place and started filming again.

Ye Tang knelt down behind Li Mingchuan again, watching him silently from a place that Li Mingchuan couldn't see.

All the images brought into his mind were about Li Mingchuan.

He was 12 years old that year, and he had just arrived at Li Yang's house. He was at a loss for the strange adults. Ye Shuhai led him to Li Yang, asked him to identify him, and told him that this would be his residence from now on.He pretended to be sensible on the surface, but in his heart he was terrified to death. His mother, who always protected him, was gone, and now his father was leaving his life. He was afraid that his father would just leave him, and he would lose his only one. rely on.

Then Li Mingchuan appeared.In fact, the boy who was only 12 years old at the time did not do anything special. He just played with his peers and quickly became acquainted, which dispelled his anxiety when he first arrived at Li's house.Later, they went to and from school together, and naturally became good friends. From the classroom at school to the backyard with a huge lawn at home, they played and laughed, and every day passed quickly, and it seemed to be full of meaning.

When introducing himself to others, Li Mingchuan would put his arms around his arm and say, "This is my good buddy", which made him feel warm in his heart, as if the death of his mother and the departure of Ye Shuhai were no longer something that he dared not touch. pain.

Then there is the scene of Ye Shuhai's remarriage day.

He was sitting under the stage, watching his father hugging another woman, with a happy expression on his face, looking so strange.

His eyes were sore, he wanted to scream, he wanted to question Ye Shuhai, why did he marry another woman in a blink of an eye?Where is his mother?Will it never be remembered again?

Li Yang also came, bringing Li Mingchuan with him. Li Mingchuan sat beside him and quietly held his hand.

He said, "You still have me, don't be sad."

At the age of 14, it was discovered that he secretly took photos of Li Mingchuan. Li Mingchuan regarded himself as a pervert, avoided him in school, and never looked at him again.

At the age of 16, they entered the same high school. Li Mingchuan was wearing a white school uniform shirt with his sleeves rolled up playing on the playground. He was so handsome that he could only hide behind the crowd and watch from a distance.

At the age of 20, he went to university in another city, and it took him a long time to return to Li's house. When he saw Li Mingchuan again, the two of them had become young people who knew how to be polite to each other. was hidden in the bottom of my heart.

Memories are like a flood that has opened the floodgates, without flooding into Ye Tang's mind, countless images of Li Mingchuan, as if they have been processed by montage, are presented in front of his eyes like a movie.

This is a memory that he dare not touch casually in his daily life, and it has been sealed in his heart all the time, fearing that the control and insensitivity he has cultivated for a long time will lose control.

At this moment, it seems that they have found a reasonable excuse, and they all come out with the help of the story of "Killer One".

The chief director Mao Qi stared at the monitor screen, and all the staff around him held their breaths. The two male actors on the scene seemed to be performing a mime. His feelings are conveyed through Killer One's eyes, and everyone is moved by it.

It wasn't until Maoqi yelled "Cut", that everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then, whoever led it, there was a burst of warm applause on the set.

Li Mingchuan got up, and Chai Bing, who had been waiting on the sidelines, quickly stepped forward and put a bathrobe on the big star.

Li Mingchuan saw that Ye Tang was still in the original posture and did not get up, so he reached out to help him up.

"Ye Tang..." Li Mingchuan called softly.

He knew that sometimes actors get too involved in the play, and they can't get back their emotions for a while, so he didn't want to disturb Ye Tang.

Ye Tang trembled slightly, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Li Mingchuan.

"..."

Li Mingchuan suddenly saw the emotion in Ye Tang's eyes that was too late to hide, and was startled.

He had never seen such a sad look in Ye Tang's eyes, as if he had experienced a heart-breaking incident, so desperate and heart-wrenching.

However, Ye Tang quickly withdrew from his memories, lowered his eyes, and got up with Li Mingchuan's support. After kneeling for so long, his legs went numb.

"Thank you." Ye Tang said.

In just a moment, the fleeting fragility disappeared.

Li Mingchuan could no longer see the shocking look in Ye Tang's eyes, and felt a little pity.He suddenly wanted to know, what did Ye Tang think of to show such a look, did he think of the story of the character "Killer One"?or something else?

But Ye Tang didn't think about anything, rubbed his numb legs, limped away, and called it a day.
