The place where we filmed is not in Beicheng.

If you drive here from Beicheng, it will take about two hours.

Mr. Wei came here alone, it was already a bit late when he came, he looked a little tired, it should be after a busy work, he rushed here without a break.

I raised my hand and touched his tired brow lightly.

Mr. Wei grabbed my hand and said, "Go to where you live."

I nodded: "OK."

At this time, Xiaodai ran over and handed over my coat and backpack: "Brother Zhizhi, here it is!"

"Well, thanks." I took the jacket and backpack, "Let's get off work early today."

Xiao Dai nodded excitedly, and walked out while holding the phone while typing.

Mr. Wei took my bag, and we walked side by side to the garage.

On the way, I asked him: "Is the work done?"

Mr. Wei has been very busy these days, because he has to deal with the Wei family who are against him and set him up everywhere, that is, his father and second uncle.

I don't know much about the situation of Sheng Shi and Wei's family, but I also understand that it is not easy to deal with these people.Over the years, although Mr. Wei's right to speak and control over Shengshi has been unshakable, the relationship network of the older generation has long been intertwined and deeply entangled, and one hair can affect the whole body.

"Well, it's basically resolved." Mr. Wei explained, "Second Uncle has no chance of turning over. As for my dad... the old man has come forward and asked me to save him some face."

I asked: "Have you given it?"

Mr. Wei: "Of course not."

Same as I guessed.

In the past, Mr. Wei must have tolerated those people's small actions more than once, but tolerating again and again will only inflate people's ambitions.

It's time to fix it.

"Those elders say that I'm too capable to accept control." Mr. Wei stated with a cold expression, "But the members of the Wei family, whether it's my uncle or my father, have never cared about me."

I took his hand.

I took Mr. Wei to the hotel where he lived.

The crew lived in a hotel near the film and television city, just ordinary rooms, enough to live in.Director Zhang is generous and doesn't care about the cost when making movies, and he just needs enough at other times, so that the quality of the movie can be well guaranteed.

But Mr. Wei didn't seem satisfied.

This is an ordinary hotel with only one room. He walked back and forth three times, serious and worried: "In such an environment, are you used to living? You are so tired from filming, can you sleep well when you come back?"

I chuckled: "The environment is pretty good."

In fact, the hotel conditions are better than many rented houses. If there is a place where you are not used to living, it is mostly because you are in an unfamiliar environment.I often travel on business, enter and leave the group, and I don’t have the habit of relying on my bed, so the quality of sleep is still okay.

Mr. Wei said: "Zhang Ming still hasn't learned to be generous."

I took out the script from the bag and put it on the table, and replied, "Director Zhang just tends to spend the money where it should be spent."

Hearing this, Mr. Wei suddenly stopped talking.

I tilt my head suspiciously.

He was wronged: "We haven't seen each other for a week, but you turned to Zhang Ming."

I:"……"

Mr. Wei came over and picked me up.Under the action of gravity, we embraced and collapsed on the double bed in the hotel.

He pressed me down, skillfully pressed my hands on both sides of his body, and deliberately said in a very serious tone: "He Zhi, you have been controlled by me."

"Hmm." I frowned, "It seems so."

"Please remain serious throughout the whole process, be lenient when confessing and be strict when resisting." Mr. Wei obviously entered the drama, "Answer every question I have seriously."

I asked, "What if it's not serious?"

I used to see my "position" very clearly, so I always pay attention to my words and deeds, abide by professional ethics, and will not refute Mr. Wei's views.

It's quite proficient now.

When Mr. Wei heard this, his expression gradually became serious: "Then——you won't be allowed to get up."

"This won't work." I shook my head, "There is still shooting tomorrow."

Mr. Wei: "So, you have to answer my question carefully."

I said, "You ask."

Mr. Wei: "To me, or to Zhang Ming."

I couldn't help laughing: "Director Zhang's plays have always been arranged like this, there is no distinction between big and small wrists, I just explained casually."

"The answer is wrong." Mr. Wei leaned over, stared at me, and said in a low voice, "So, don't get up."

After speaking, he lowered his head and sealed my lips tightly.

This kiss was suffocating and strong, containing deep longing and longing, which made me unable to escape or break free. I could only obediently accept every inch of his intrusion and exchange hot and humid temperatures with each other.

Then I realized that Mr. Wei didn't want any answers, or that the answers were not important to him.

He just wanted to hug me on the bed.

----

The next day.

Although Mr. Wei spoke loudly, his actions were actually very measured. In order not to make me feel uncomfortable, he seemed to be holding back a lot.So when I woke up the next day, I didn't feel any discomfort.

My scene today is quite complicated, and I will shoot some scenes from my high school days in the morning.Then you need to change your mood immediately and start filming scenes after the actor has worked for a few years.

The two scenes spanned more than ten years.

The change of mentality in this process is very important. From vigorous to numb, what needs to be performed is not only a change in appearance, but also depends more on eyes, demeanor, movements and temperament.It's not because you have fine lines around your eyes and your hair is starting to thin out, so that others can see the traces of time, but when the audience watches the movie, he should be able to touch the heavy, hopeless, and inactive years.

It took me a long time to figure out this role. During this period, I often discussed the script with Director Zhang and other actors, and I have enough confidence to play it well.

I communicated with Mr. Wei about today's work content.

He told me: "I plan to go back to Beicheng at night."

"That's good." I said, "It's clean here, you can relax for a day."

Mr. Wei nodded.

Before I went to the set, Mr. Wei gave Xiao Dai a day off as his boss.Then, wearing my cap and carrying my backpack, he became my "assistant for a day."

In short, when he sat upright on the small bench behind the camera, the actors and crew on the set were shocked.There were even a few staff members whispering together, and gossip started on the spot.

When Director Zhang saw them, he glanced at them lightly, and they immediately settled down.

I stood in front of him and asked, "Have you been sitting here all day today? Tired and boring."

In the past two years, it’s not that Mr. Wei never visited the set, but he almost never watched me act. He always appeared on the set or in the hotel after a day’s work, sometimes accompanied by flattering directors and producers.

Therefore, when he sits here, it is not only the staff who feel disobedient, but I also feel the same way.

Although it will not affect the filming of the movie, this scene is indeed fresh.

Mr. Wei: "It's okay, I don't feel tired."

Director Zhang at the side crossed his hips, took off his sunglasses, stared at Mr. Wei with burning eyes, and asked, "Mr. Wei, why don't you go to another place to enjoy the cool?"

Mr. Wei's expression remained unchanged: "I refuse."

Director Zhang asked again: "Then Mr. Wei, what are you sitting here for?"

"Won't the investor send someone to come when Director Zhang was making a movie?" Mr. Wei said, "Generally, the staff should be more serious in this situation, so I won't bother you."

Well said Mr. Wei.

Although there are many investors who don't care about the follow-up shooting of the movie after investing money, there are also cases where people are sent to watch.

So he was on the sidelines, observing and monitoring the filming process, and there was nothing wrong with Yu Gong.

"One size is one size. Your situation is different from that of ordinary investors." Director Zhang and Mr. Wei are indeed familiar with each other, and they are not like other people when they get along.He has a respectful attitude, but he doesn't have too much fear, and joked, "Although as a distinguished investor, you come here to inspect our work, and our other employees will be more serious in their work, but I am afraid that He Zhi will be affected. , After all, you are a young couple. Why don't you advocate office romance? It's not because you are afraid of affecting your work. "

Hearing this, Mr. Wei instantly turned cold.

Director Zhang said it as a joke, and he didn't mean to be serious. Mr. Wei should be able to hear it, but he looked angry.I thought he was in a bad mood because he was rejected for being a spectator, and was about to say something, when Mr. Wei said in a low voice——

"Zhang Ming, He Zhi has always been serious and responsible in his work, and never delays filming for personal reasons. Is what you said appropriate?"

I heard the sound of my own heart beating.

Strong and steady.

Director Zhang was silent for a moment, then wiped his face, and said with a smile: "I just wanted to tease you little lovers, but I didn't expect to dig a hole and bury myself. I chose He Zhi. We have been working together for a week or two. I Of course I know his character. To be honest, if you are angry because of yourself, I will definitely laugh at your narrow-mindedness, and then tell your aunt about it, but you are because of He Zhi, so I have nothing to say. I admit my mistake , is inappropriate."

Director Zhang's magnanimity is admirable.

Mr. Wei nodded: "Yes, the attitude is quite honest."

"Mr. Wei, I'm in the same generation as your aunt anyway, shouldn't I show some face?" At this point, Director Zhang looked at me, "He Zhi, what do you think?"

"Director Zhang is serious." I said, "You are a highly respected director in the industry, who can not give you face."

Director Zhang shook his head and laughed, "I'm just an outsider in front of you two young lovers. That's enough, it's almost time, we can start filming."

"Okay, Director Zhang."

I responded and walked to the center of the set.

Director Zhang picked up the slate and shouted——

"First shot, first time, A!"

The sound of hitting the board echoed, and I quickly entered the state.

The filming of the high school scene was finished very quickly. After that, the makeup artist put on haggard makeup for me, adding a little fine lines and dark circles under the eyes, and then I started filming the scene of the male lead's trough period.

This scene happened after the actor worked for four years.

This generation of young people caught up with the most serious introversion, and the male protagonist has already fallen into confusion and anxiety. He is busy with work during the day and has no time to catch his breath. Insomnia, eyes open thinking about life.Originally, the pressure from his life and work was about to overwhelm his body and spirit, but at this time, he learned the news of his ex-girlfriend's marriage, and his mentality gradually became unbalanced.

After get off work, he sent money to his family, received a call from Party A when he was packing the takeaway box, and then suddenly collapsed.

Weeping in a daze.

Director Zhang wants to see the big from the small, and resonate with the audience by portraying the half life of an ordinary person. He also wants to guide everyone to find the value of life through this true story.And this kind of resonance is reflected in the authenticity and meticulousness of the plot and the detailed performance of the actors.

Every actor has his or her own defenses - I'm partial to immersive acting, but never completely losing my mind.

I always conjure another self in my mind after fully entering the character and breathing with the character. The "other me" is extremely calm and even indifferent, watching every scene of joys and sorrows, and by the way, coordinates with the positioning and close-ups of the camera.

According to the script, I finished the scene.

"Card--"

Zhang Daoyang shouted to stop.

"It's pretty good." Director Zhang said, "But it's a little less broken."

"Crash?" I asked.

"Silent collapse, you have to let yourself despair, this part is really difficult to act." Director Zhang was extraordinarily serious when he narrated the play, with an air of not being crazy and not surviving, "Your acting is very substituting, but this kind of near-collapse The feeling is always a little bit worse, do you know why?"

I shook my head: "Did Zhang see anything?"

Director Zhang: "Because you are always restraining yourself, you are always awake. He Zhi, you can try to blend into this role, or try to infinitely magnify the saddest moment in your past life and present it in front of the camera."

"Restraint?"

"Actually, I don't agree with completely immersive acting, as it is easy for actors to get out of it. The best way to perform is to complement each other with skill and emotion. But this scene is very important. The breakdown of ordinary people is primitive and unpolished. I want you to let go of yourself completely."

Hearing this, I probably understood what Director Zhang meant.

—To completely abandon calmness.

I adjusted my mentality for a while, and said to Director Zhang, "I'm ready."

"Very good." Director Zhang put on his sunglasses and picked up the slate, "Get ready! The first shot and the second, A!"

For the first time, I tried to let my emotions go.

Whether it's on-screen or off-screen.

When a person collapses, most of the time I don’t get any positive feedback. I look at the clean takeaway box on the table and confuse the life in front of me with reality.Efforts may not be useful, the people you like may not be together, and the work you yearn for may not be rushed.

Not everyone has it so well.

Most people are mediocre and accomplish nothing.

I think of Director Zhang's words: infinitely magnify the saddest moment in the past life.

Saddest moment?

I look back on the past 20+ years.

There were many sad moments during that time, but none of them seemed to be worth mentioning, because I got used to it and passed it on.But if you change it to the most confused time in the past, you can easily get the answer.

— That's when I realized I liked Mr. Wei.

There is nothing more regrettable than that.

I indulged my emotions and kept accumulating. When the overwhelming sadness swept over me, I didn't have any resistance, and I finished the silent scene with tears in my eyes.

"Card--"

The sound of Director Zhang hitting the board sounded again.

"Very good, it's over!"

I stood where I was and didn't move.

Director Zhang greeted the staff: "The morning scene ends, you all get off work, let He Zhi get out of his emotions."

The people around receded like a tide, and in a blink of an eye, there were only me, Director Zhang and Mr. Wei left on the set.

As early as the sound of "Click——", Mr. Wei came over and hugged me tightly.

Director Zhang said: "It's just right that Mr. Wei is here, so he can help He Zhi to get out of his emotions, and don't get out of it."

Mr. Wei glanced sideways at him.

The atmosphere in the room freezes into ice.

Director Zhang choked up: "...Mr. Wei, put away your murderous eyes, this level of emotional retraction is what every professional actor needs to master. Since He Zhi has taken this path, he will definitely return to it in the future." There will be similar emotional dramas. He is a good seed, even if he puts all his emotions away, he can find himself again, we have to believe in him."

"So?" Mr. Wei said coldly, "I just can't see him being sad, even if it's fake."

I adjusted my mood, stretched out my hand and hugged him back: "I'm fine, I just entered the show for a while."

Mr. Wei hugged me even tighter, not shying away from Director Zhang at all.

"It turns out that you were really unhappy when you were filming." His voice was dull, "He Zhi, we are not filming anymore. I will pay the liquidated damages. We will quit the film now."

"...under my nose, abduct me as a good seedling?" Director Zhang asked, "What are you going to do if you quit the circle?"

Mr. Wei: "Go get married."

Director Zhang: "..."
