perfect character

When I entered the filming group, the time passed quickly, and the weather gradually cooled down a lot.

Ning Ziping didn't like the south at first, but after living for a while, he had to admit that the winter climate here is more convenient for filming.

As long as it doesn't rain.

Like now, it is still a cool windy day of ten degrees, the leading actors are wearing thin costumes, and the activities are not too cold.

If this is the north, they should be buried in snow.

"Ahem, all the departments are in place, let's make a final check!" In the yard, Director Ning yelled with a trumpet against the wind, while picking off a few dead leaves blown by him.

He is in charge of Group A, and another assistant director is in charge of Group B.The two groups were not far apart, and the shed was pulled to separate them, and the same roar of the assistant director of the group next door could be vaguely heard.

A few actors who had finished modeling quickly reconfirmed their positions, and then stood up carefully, waiting for the sound of the slate falling.

"Scene 12, Scene [-], Action!"

The cameraman followed Jiang Qiushi to shoot all the way, and the latter walked slowly through the door.The camera captured his profile, frowning slightly, but with a smile on his face, as if he was very happy now.

Looking again, his shoulders are slightly raised, his hands and feet seem to be bound, there is nowhere to rest them, and even walking is a bit cramped.

Just like the man in the trap described by Chekhov.

A short distance, three camera positions, zero lines.

It's all about eye play.

Even though he has left his parents, left his family, and moved away from his hometown to work in other places, Li Shuihong is still used to a restrained life.

He was like a bird used to a cage, like an elephant in a circus troupe tamed as a child by a stick.Even if he already had enough courage and ability to break free from the shackles, he was unwilling to try.

"Crack! It's over, the next scene, hurry up and get ready!"

A group of people hurriedly set up the scene, preparing for the next scene to start shooting.

The crew found a small town on the edge of the city, a group of houses next to the mental hospital on the inner edge of the town, close to the woods, not far from the town by motorcycle, and the climate is pleasant.

The only bad thing is that there are many insects and ants here, and the cockroaches are huge.When I go to sleep at night, I can always find one or two spiders the size of half a palm crawling around on the walls, or when I open the door, cockroaches rush towards me.

Others are fine, there are not many people in the crew, most of them are southerners, and they have been used to it since childhood.Only Ning Ziping, a pure northerner, has never been in contact with Xiaoqiang, the size of a fingernail and is harmless to humans and animals since he was a child. He can't get used to the ultimate evolution of these things in the south no matter how many times he sees them.

Everyone in the crew was fortunate enough to hear the director's pig-killing screams, and they were extremely disgusted.

I'm afraid there is no way, the conditions are limited, I can only spray insecticide before going out during the day, and smoke with wormwood.Director Ning's biggest improvement is that after entering the door at night and finding that there are still survivors, he finally learned to suppress the screaming in his throat, and knocked on other people's doors to ask for help.

"Xiao Jiang, can you help me?" Ning Ziping knocked on the door in a red pajamas, "Xiao Jiang? President Jiang? Brother Ten?"

After a while, Jiang Qiushi opened the door with a helpless face.

"Director, you really need to practice your courage." He complained.

Ning Ziping's chubby face glowed with hope: "I can't help it, I've worked very hard, and besides, only you don't despise me."

Jiang Qiushi waved his hands, went back to the house and took a thick plastic bag, waved it twice in the air to make sure it was airtight: "Let's go."

The leading actors live in one building with the director and assistant director, and other small employees live in another building, which is far away.The other people in the same building were either pretending to take a bath or pretending to be sleeping. Anyway, they pretended not to hear, and they didn't give him any face as a director.

"Xiao Jiang, you are really a good person." Director Le Diandian followed behind him, guarding the door and not going in, "Come on!"

Jiang Qiushi: "..."

After a while, he came out with a plastic bag of unknown objects, and when he looked closely, he saw six-legged and eight-legged insects crawling together, mixed with black rice dumplings, densely entangled with tentacles and thin legs.

Director Jiang Qiu shook the bag of insects ten times, bathed in the latter's grateful eyes, walked back slowly, passed the stairs, threw the knotted plastic bag into the trash can, turned and went into his room, and washed his hands desperately.

Living in the woods, it’s okay during the day, but it’s extremely cold at night. The place is next to the mountain, and the wind blows at night, blowing all the salty and damp moisture from the sea water on the other side of the mountain, and the walls are covered with mold spots. , Even the quilt seems to be damp.

Sniffing the air, it seemed to be soaked in moisture.

Everyone has no choice, don't want to live?The nearest hotel in the town is half an hour away, and the rooms are not much different from here.

Fortunately, no one in the group played big names, the one with the biggest name was quite talkative, able to bear hardships, took as many shots as he should every day, had good acting skills, was not a big deal, and got along very well with everyone.

Sometimes, people in the circle can give the best evaluation by saying "not much".

"Hello, Teacher Jiang."

"Teacher Jiang is so early today."

But at five or six o'clock, the sky was bright, and the small building had already woken up. The early-rising staff yawned and went to work, and when they turned their heads, they saw the male lead coming downstairs in loose sportswear.

Jiang Qiushi greeted with a smile: "Well, get up and run." In the only shallow feelings, he prefers the high-altitude night scene, likes the dense forest in the early morning before dawn, circled the small building twice, walked along the Malu, ran towards the mental hospital where a shadow could be seen not far away.

The crew had applied to shoot several scenes in the hospital, and today happened to be this scene.Taking advantage of early morning exercise, he happened to go over to have a look.

The outer wall of the hospital is extremely high, quietly lying in the dense forest, and some bright slogans such as socialist core values ​​are hung outside the wall.Many creepers that have lost their leaves, and thin vines are still holding on to the wall.

He didn't care at first.

It was just to have a look.

Until slowly approaching, he saw the name of the hospital.

He didn't look at the place name in front of it carefully, but the big characters "Mental Health Center" on the back suddenly caught his eyes, his pupils shrank suddenly, and something seemed to hit his head hard.

A hum made him almost unsteady.

He propped himself up on the nearest tree, gasped for a while, and slowly stood up straight.

……

When Jiang Qiushi returned to the set, the sun rose a little.Everyone got up, and the yard was tinkling and busy.

Ning Ziping squatted at the gate of the yard to wash his face with the faucet on, wiped the water off his face, and looked up amusedly: "Xiao Jiang, you woke up really early, you are sweating profusely, did you go to exercise again early in the morning?"

Jiang Qiushi smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"Tsk, I want to run, look at you, a big man is so white, he needs to bask in the sun more, like me..." Before he finished speaking, Ning Ziping was laughed at by the assistant director: "Like you Still got it? Brother Ten is so good, handsome! Perfect!"

The assistant director is a woman, and she has worked with Ning Ziping many times, so she is not afraid of him at all.

Jiang Qiushi watched them bicker with a smile.

Ning Ziping washed his face again, wiped his bald head with a towel, and used it as a shampoo. He said, "Xiao Jiang, see if there is anything to collect. We will go to the hospital to take some photos later."

"Okay." Jiang Qiushi said without moving, sitting in the yard basking in the sun.

He has nothing left to clean up.

Director Ning moved out all his things, and the two simply sat and chatted together.

"Hey? Have you ever been to a mental hospital?"

Jiang Qiushi shook his head.

"It's okay, it's not as scary as described in horror movies. There are patients, doctors and nurses inside, and you, I will remember to use your charm later~" Director Ning smiled with a meaning that men can understand, "Do you know? "

Jiang Qiushi: "..."

Jiang Qiushi asked lightly, "Are there any cockroaches inside?"

Ning Ziping, who was stabbed to death, immediately shut up.

A group of people packed up their things and got in the car to set off. After a while, they arrived outside the hospital.

It was very quiet in the hospital.

This kind of silence is not a silence with zero volume, and some howls can be heard if you listen carefully.But the entire hospital felt oppressed that the air was almost stagnant. They entered and broke the stagnant water in the pond out of place.

I'm a little curious, but I still focus on work.After greeting the doctors, the crew found a suitable venue and started setting the scene.The actors went down to change their costumes.

Jiang Qiushi changed into formal attire, and after a brief styling by the makeup artist, he looked like a college student who had just graduated and was looking for a job.

The actors who played against him took the script in their hands to figure it out, and the director talked to them about the play, talking about the position and lighting after waiting.

For some reason, he just felt that Jiang Qiushi, who was always serious, was a little absent-minded at the moment, so he cleared his throat, "Xiao Jiang?"

Jiang Qiushi looked up at him suspiciously.

Ning Ziping couldn't express his guess, so he asked, "What do you think about this passage?"

The script in Jiang Qiushi's hand is just a decoration, just look at it casually.He glanced at the page number in the director's hand, opened it, looked at the marks he had made, closed it, and began to recite: "Li Shuihong's emotions have been accumulated at this time. He has been suppressed since he was a child and is firmly controlled by his family." The feeling of suffocation, after escaping from the family, got some release, he is trying to live independently..."

The director couldn't find anything wrong, so he waved his hand to let him go. He ignored the slight sense of disobedience, and turned his head to continue talking about the play.

When he saw Jiang Qiushi, who was even more amazing under the camera than before, he no longer thought that the other party was not serious. He leaned in front of the monitor without blinking his eyes.

"Dean, I'm here to report. Here are my certificates and certificates." The young man, who seemed to be restrained by the formal attire, stood in the office in an orderly manner and handed in the documents.

The middle-aged actress who played the dean looked down at his report, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Li Shuihong was so keen, the hand hanging by his side shrank subconsciously, grabbed the suit pants, and then suddenly reacted, and immediately let go.

The smile on his face was like a wax figure carved out of a mold, unchanged at all.

"Dean, is there a question?" he asked gently.

The next moment, the headmistress looked up, her eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.Li Shuihong stiffly stood there without moving, still maintaining a gentle smile.

After a while, the dean relaxed.

"You can go to a better hospital, why do you come here?" The dean pointed out the window, "Almost all the patients who come here are critically ill patients, and our wards are basically closed wards. Young man, I think you are young Light, at most a few years of internship, lack of experience, I still hope you think more about it."

Li Shuihong breathed a sigh of relief as if he found that the questions in the exam were all of his body type, "Principal, since I choose to come here, I must be mentally prepared. I have confidence in my professional knowledge reserve and my ability." .”

He and the dean looked at each other silently.

Li Shuihong's eyes are in close-up, pleading, helpless, longing, and confused.

If this hospital doesn't want him, he really doesn't know where to go for a while.

He was already penniless.

Fortunately, the dean agreed.

"You should be a trainee for a few months first. I'll give you a trainee report. After six months, you'll pass the assessment and then consider becoming a regular."

The tense shoulders loosened unknowingly, and Li Shuihong immediately bowed: "Thank you, Dean, I will work hard."

He was obviously very happy, but his smile remained unchanged, as if that was the only way he could smile.

Facing the camera, he smiled again.

……

"Crack, it's over."

The actress who played the dean breathed a sigh of relief and asked the assistant to bring her water.Jiang Qiushi stood where he was, closed his eyes, changed his posture, and moved closer to the director to watch the replay.

The scenes in the past few days will be filmed in this hospital.

The stern-faced and kind-hearted dean, other doctors and nurses with very different personalities, and many strange patients in the closed ward.

There is a patient who likes to stand by the window and try to jump down, but is stopped by the anti-theft net every time. He thinks he is locked in a high tower, and often tells Li Shuihong mysteriously that he has grown wings and was discovered will be closed.

There was a patient with knife marks on her wrists. She looked like an ordinary girl. She was lively and loved to laugh, and she just scratched herself with things while smiling.

There was a little boy who could keep silent for three months, unless he had to.He only talks to himself...

……

Only then did Ning Ziping realize that the friends who had strongly recommended Jiang Qiushi to him were not lying.

He just has this savvy, he can easily understand the character of the character, and he can understand it after just walking around.It's not his problem if he can pass it once, and it's not his problem. The first interpretation under the camera is an intoxicating and stunning effect.

He was born to act!

Time flies, half a month has passed.

During this period, apart from asking for leave to shoot two commercials and one or two magazines, Jiang Qiushi stayed on the set honestly the rest of the time.

Sister Ya has already discussed with him about the next drama, which is a modern criminal investigation drama.Sister Ya easily snatched the big cake in the circle, and now the book is still being revised, and when the project is officially approved to start shooting, it is estimated that it will not be until March or April next year.

Christmas is approaching, the people filming in the deep mountains and old forests are ignorant, and there is no big splash on the Internet.

Jiang Qiushi thought of Mengmeng who gave him an apple on Christmas Eve last year.

Recently, there has been a trend of "no foreign festivals". Last year, the streets were filled with Christmas trees and Christmas hats, which are basically invisible.Jiang Qiu couldn't pass this festival, so he still called Xuanxuan.

Children may still have a sense of ritual.

Xuanxuan was very happy on the other end of the phone. He said, "Today, I got 24 dimes from my classmates, and I bought an apple for you. When are you free?"

Jiang Qiushi:? ?

While saying thank you, he searched the Internet for the meaning, couldn't help but laugh, and promised, "I'll come over as soon as possible."

He is not lying. Although the country does not advocate celebrating foreign festivals, businessmen will never give up this business opportunity.On Christmas Day, [Invisible Friends] will hold its first roadshow.

He must be present.

In order to praise the newcomers, the ending song of [Invisible Friend] is sung by Bai Wu. Currently there is an MV on the Internet, and the praise is very high.

Jiang Qiushi will participate in the road show with Bai Wu.After that, it's not a bad idea to try on the jacket Du Mei bought, and then look at Xuanxuan.
