perfect character

Filming in the entertainment industry always likes to pay attention to superstition. In addition to the opening ceremony for the pig's head to burn incense, the seasons have to be reversed. Winter shoots summer, summer shoots winter. The play is on fire.

Tour guides are no exception.

The warmest costumes prepared by the costume team are thin sweaters. The two leading actors can only wrap up in small blankets to talk lines every day.

"Come, come, all departments are paying attention! Prepare——Action!"

The two who had been chatting and complaining in a leisurely manner changed their faces instantly when they heard the order.

In the park, on a bench, it was working hours, a man and a woman were sitting across a large space, holding a glass of cold drink in a plastic cup.

Bai Liu, a young woman in washed white jeans and a shirt, burst into tears.She tried to hold back her crying, but the tears fell more and more fiercely, she couldn't hold the cup with trembling hands, and her eyes were full of despair.

The young man sitting next to her was thin and pale, and looked even more haggard than a woman who had suffered from the pain of losing a loved one. He frowned, took out a small package of tissues on his body, and said dryly: "My condolences."

After finishing speaking, Cha Mu immediately withdrew his hand as if he was not used to showing such straightforward concern.

"...Thank you, thank you."

"you are welcome."

Bai Liu wiped away her tears, took several deep breaths, and then began to speak slowly.

Her family was poor, and her parents had six daughters in order to give birth to her younger brother. She was the eldest, and Bai Lin, who jumped off a building at school last year because of school violence, was the youngest sister.

Bai Lin had good grades since he was a child, but unfortunately he was not lucky enough to be reborn in their family. Because the family was poor, he often couldn't afford the fees for books and materials, and was bullied by his classmates since elementary school.She is also stubborn, and she doesn't say anything about being bullied at school.

In fact, it’s useless to say it. She was bullied when she was in elementary school, but her parents only told her not to provoke others, or got impatient, and beat her face: "Why do people bully you and not others? It must be yourself There are also problems."

Bai Liu was stunned and wept: "It's not my little sister's problem. She is so obedient, obedient and motivated. The teachers like her very much. It's them, they are the ones who forced my little sister to death."

Swallowing your breath can only escalate the violence.From elementary school to junior high school, the same group of classmates, still the same methods.It was either scolding or beating, blocked in the corner of the campus where the surveillance could not see, a few people slapped her face, pulled her hair, the teacher would ask her when she saw her face was swollen, and it was useless to interfere many times after asking, so I told the teacher. Only hit harder each time.

Gradually, she didn't dare to talk to the teacher anymore.After those people learned how to be smart, they hit places they couldn't see on their bodies, either kicking their stomachs or twisting their thighs. The teacher didn't see anything on his face, so naturally he didn't ask too much.

Later, someone spread rumors outside, saying that she had that kind of relationship with many people, and even caused several boys to fight for her.The boys who had a crush on Bai Lin and were polite also started to play tricks.

Until one day, a few boys of the same grade blocked them on the way home from school after evening self-study.

Bai Lin didn't cry when he got home, and his parents didn't know, or Bai Liu came back at night and found that something was wrong with his younger sister. After asking, Bai Lin refused to say anything, only that he was beaten by his classmates again.

Distressed, there is no way.

It's not that I didn't find the school to make a fuss. After the parent of the other party came, the guardian scolded him even more fiercely, and the murderer didn't restrain himself at all.There is only one public school, the tuition is cheap, and the family has neither money nor connections, so it is impossible to spend money to transfer.

Later, when those people beat her, they kicked her in the stomach and bled a lot. Only then did they realize that they were afraid and ran away pretending to be okay.The teacher who came to find her was so frightened that she was half dead and sent her to the hospital. The doctor said it was a sign of miscarriage.

The parents present were so angry that they kicked and scolded him before he woke up, forcefully beating him up.Bai Lin didn't cry or make a fuss, and let his parents yell at each other for losing money, and even asked who the boy was, and asked him to take responsibility.

If it wasn't for the teacher and a few older sisters to stop him, he might really have been beaten to death.

Chen Yan sat there dumbfounded and wept. The camera was filming her face, surrounded by sound receivers. People around her dared not say a word, for fear that the filming would be ruined.

"So, what happened to her then?"

Bai Liu's eyes were always downcast, her shoulders shrunk, haggard and timid.Hearing Chamu's question, he raised his head and looked at the camera blankly, his lips trembled twice and he continued to speak with a hoarse voice.

"later……"

"Later, my parents went to school to make trouble, and I had to find out who did it."

"No one admitted it, they were all watching a joke, so she jumped off the building."

"Her class is on the third floor. She couldn't fall to her death. She jumped headfirst on purpose. She has always been very smart. She jumped out when we weren't paying attention, and didn't hold her back."

Bai Liu raised her eyes that were red from crying, as if she was asking Chamu, but also herself, her voice was terribly hoarse.

"Is this also her fault?" Chamu showed an unbearable face, and said firmly: "No."

He looked at Bai Liu and said solemnly, "It's not her fault."

"Then why is she the one who was punished?"

"Why only her?"

Tears fell down my cheeks, Bai Liu asked over and over again: "Why..."

No one can answer her, not even Cha-mu.

"Card!"

Hearing the director's voice, Chen Yanhui quickly shed tears, Jiang Qiushi's expression relaxed, and the atmosphere of grief surrounding the two of them disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The makeup artist stepped forward to touch up Chen Yanhui's makeup, and carefully wiped away the tears on the other party's face with a cotton pad. Chen Yanhui closed his eyes and raised his head to allow the other party to move, silently reciting his lines.

Jiang Qiushi came to the director's side and asked, "How is it?"

The tour guide was busy looking at the camera, without raising his head, he said, "Yes, a few more."

The first confrontation scene between the male and female protagonists is a difficult one-shot single-camera performance. Only one camera is used to focus on two people sitting on the same bench, which is an extreme test of the actors' facial micro-expressions . In the 5-minute-long scene, large sections of lines are concentrated on Bai Liu. Jiang Qiushi can't just listen indifferently. He needs to have pity and anger, but also subdivide this pity and anger into layers, turning it into the quietness of adults. A silent crash.

You Yuan watched the replay.

In the viewfinder frame, there are two people on the left and one on the right, and the two faces are symmetrically presented under the lens.At the first glance, ordinary people would be attracted by Bai Liu who is crying and remembering in pain, but Chamu on the right is also eye-catching.

Chamu's lines are only a few sentences, which is more difficult to compare.

Bai Liu's sadness can be progressive in layers, regret and pain when recalling the sad things, the crying scene is not hysterical, but it makes people feel sour after watching it.

[Absurd defense] In the early stage, focus on filming the male and female protagonists, and then film some trivial details in the later stage.Cha Mu's lines are not too much in the early stage, especially when facing Bai Liu, he is always taciturn and silent.The script does not directly describe the secret love between the two, but through Chamu's slightly different behavior towards Bailiu and other people, the audience can vaguely perceive Chamu's love and cherishment for Bailiu.

I shot about six or seven pieces, repeatedly. The director didn’t say what was good or what was not good. He just got stuck and waited until the last line of the scene was finished, and then called a stop and asked the makeup artist to touch up the makeup. to continue.Jiang Qiushi and Chen Yanhui didn't say a word, they re-shot when they asked, and they didn't perfunctory. They tried their best to control the outburst of emotions every time they took a shot.

The other artists who were wearing makeup and other scenes on the set didn't leave. Sitting on the set and watching these two actors who took the acting style to act, they couldn't help admiring them.

After the eighth shot, the tour guide yelled again. He put down the horn and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that the tired looks of the two people who had changed from makeup and performance were mixed with real tiredness.

"Wait a while for the last one, you guys will play against each other, and try to figure out the psychology of the characters."

The two sat on the bench to discuss the script.

The crying scene just now was too exhausting, Chen Yanhui's eyes were flushed, Jiang Qiushi was not much better, the emotions of the two were tightly suppressed and could not explode, but they could feel the accumulation under the layers of limestone. magma.

Jiang Qiushi opened the script, re-read the lines, and asked softly: "Do you think our performance just now is not enough?"

Chen Yan thought about it and shook his head: "It's not that we're not emotional enough, it's because the tour guide wants us to feel more real and tired."

She circled the script with her fingers: "Do you think Bai Liu really likes Chamu? Should I show affection here?"

Jiang Qiushi said: "Maybe there is, maybe not, Bai Liu himself may not know, just like Cha Mu, he doesn't know whether his thoughts on Bai Liu are out of guilt for justice in his heart, or the natural affection between the sexes. "

Chen Yan replied thoughtfully: "So...you still have to have some confused and hazy affection, right?"

Jiang Qiushi closed the script and nodded: "It can be understood in this way."

"I always feel that I'm just crying here, as if something is missing."

"Then tell me your thoughts, and I'll add."

The two have been familiar with each other for a long time, and after trying it out, they noticed some details in the performance that could be improved, and then communicated and supplemented.The filming of Article [-] was successfully completed, and the director was finally satisfied.

Compared with other directors who explain everything clearly, You Yuan prefers to give a general direction and let the actors develop themselves. As long as they don't deviate from the script and the characters, it's fine if they can impress him.

Jiang Qiushi had inquired about his habits, and Chen Yanhui had worked with him before, so he didn't feel uncomfortable with the tour guide's way of shooting.These days, five or six leading actors have to sit together and spend a lot of time discussing the script, and the relationship heats up quickly. Even though the filming is extremely exhausting, the atmosphere of the crew is quite harmonious.

"Supper is here!"

After another night scene was filmed, the scene manager shouted loudly.

One stone caused a thousand waves, and the staff, extras, and leading actors cheered.

"Thank you for our generosity and generosity, Mr. Jiang! Come and applaud!" The field manager laughed while distributing, and the others naturally clapped and applauded, and began to blow rainbow farts.

"Mr. Jiang, you are really kind!"

"Teacher Jiang is so generous!"

"Brother Ten is looking for a role in filming in the future, and wants to hang out with you."

……

Jiang Qiushi sat on the chair and raised his head to remove the makeup. He waved his hands and said, "It's all right. Everyone has worked hard. Go back to rest early after eating."

Almost everyone on the set likes Jiang Qiushi, he is handsome and gentle, has good acting skills, and is generous and easy to talk. Seeing him speak, everyone responded in a hurry:

"Brother Ten also rest early."

"Mr. Jiang has worked hard, go to bed early."

……

Chen Yanhui has been physically exhausted recently filming, and in recent days he used his comforting psychology of not being fat-prone to eat supper together. Unexpectedly, he gained two catties, and was ruthlessly ordered by the director to lose it back.Now listening to the rustling sound of them unpacking the bags, my saliva is about to flow out.

When the aroma of sweet red date soup mixed with spicy braised pork wafted over the crew, her saliva became more drooling.

"Eat something if you want, and exercise again when you go back." Jiang Qiushi coaxed her when she saw her greedy behavior.

Chen Yan rolled his eyes when he heard the words.The middle-aged actor Yu Gaojun, who played Chamu's mentor, laughed and patted his beer belly: "You young people have to keep fit, unlike me, you can eat whatever you want."

This time, he enjoyed the treatment of the male and female protagonists rolling their eyes together.

Being photogenic and gaining ten catties is not just for fun. Obesity is always the natural enemy of artists.For example, Chen Yanhui, she has a small frame and is already a thin type, but she has a well-proportioned figure as soon as she is photographed.If you still want to play a thin and weak character like Bai Liu, you have to cut it down again and again. The arms are so thin that you can wrap them in a palm, and you almost look like a paper man from the side.With such a reduction, the director will count her as a pass.

Yu Gaojun took a sip of his beer, shook his head and continued to grab a duck neck and gnawed on it. He even held up the duck neck and shook it at Jiang Qiushi: "Have some?"

Jiang Qiushi pretended to give him a sharp eye: "I didn't see anything."

Yu Gaojun laughed haha.

Jiang Qiushi covered his mouth with his fists and yawned lightly. He was very thin for this role, and even wrapped in a coat, he looked slender and slender.

Yu Gaojun couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder with another big palm that didn't wear gloves: "You are too thin, you don't have any meat! You have to mend it after the shooting is over."

Jiang Qiushi smiled when he heard the words: "Yes."

Brother Bin ran over with the packed bag, Jiang Qiushi greeted everyone, then turned and left the set.

On the way to the hotel, Brother Bin drove the car and said, "Boss, Christmas is coming soon, and your fans said they want to come and visit."

"Visiting class? When?"

"Just on Christmas Day, there are not many people in support."

Jiang Qiushi thought for a while, then shook his head: "I still don't want it, I'm very thin now, and they will definitely feel distressed when they see it."

Seeing that Jiang Qiushi's face was sunken, Brother Bin agreed, "Okay, I'll ask Xiao Xu to reply."

Jiang Qiushi opened his sleepy eyes, and looked at him from the rearview mirror: "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

He suddenly remembered something and smiled: "By the way, I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance."
