24 Lies

Every day before filming and entering the state, Mingzheng would hypnotize himself as taught by Yan Mao: Your acting is all fake, but you have to trust your hallucinations, your experience, and give yourself completely to the feelings in your heart.

Mingzheng hypnotized himself, convincing himself that he was gay, once convinced.Li Zhiyuan came over and asked, do you want me to tell you about the play?Mingzheng smiled and said, you can say it or not, it doesn't matter to me.

Li Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Then let me remind you. This scene is not that intimate, and the lines are simple and casual, but I want you two to act as if you have been in love for a lifetime, understand what I mean?"

He said this while looking at Mingzheng, and he probably told it to Mingzheng, he never lectured to Zheng Guanyu.

Ming Zheng was stunned.

He was very confused, why the director wanted this feeling.

He was very strange, so he asked: "Why is this feeling, have they fallen in love with each other at this time?"

Zheng Guanyu on the side didn't say a word.

Li Zhiyuan said: "Ming Zheng, I don't want to explain too much, but I hope you will act with the belief that you like Gao Xiaoyu very much. You should try it first."

Ming Zheng didn't say a word, he was thinking about the director's intention.

At this time, Zheng Guanyu said, "Okay. Director, let us be alone for a while, please?"

Li Zhiyuan nodded and went out, leaving them alone in the room.

That belief still remained, at this moment, Mingzheng felt that he was Chen Zhou.Li Zhiyuan left, he and Zheng Guanyu sat facing each other.

Zheng Guanyu asked him: "Shall we go through the play alone?"

Ming Zheng thought for a while, then shook his head: "Let me think about it first."

"Thinking about what?"

"Why do you want to love for a lifetime? It doesn't feel reasonable."

Zheng Guanyu smiled: "I vaguely remember that you told me before that the director has his own reasons for how he wants to act."

That's right, this is a slap in the face, and it's my turn not to believe it.

There was a moment of silence.

Ming Zheng was still in a daze when he heard Zheng Guanyu ask, "Why do you speak Cantonese?"

"Taught by Yan Mao, his hometown is in Guangdong."

Zheng Guanyu said with a smile, "I see."

The smile is fake, and I should be unhappy in my heart.

Very upset, he actually asked: "Have you been with him for many years?"

So sour.Ming Zheng smiled: "After learning to act, he has been taking me with him."

"Oh." Zheng Guanyu nodded, "You two have a good relationship?"

Mingzheng thought about it, and replied, "That's it."

It's not good or bad, it's just an ordinary father-son relationship.

"Yan Mao taught you acting?"

"It is."

"No wonder, you know the camera very well."

"well enough."

Zheng Guanyu stopped talking.

After being silent for a while, Mingzheng stared at the somewhat old white shirt on Zheng Guanyu's body. After looking at it for a while, his eyes moved to his face again.

The silence gave Mingzheng a lot of time to think wildly. Looking at Zheng Guanyu and the old room behind him, for some reason, he also recalled some old memories in his mind.

When he was a child, Ming Zheng didn't want to make a movie. Even though his father was the director, the Ming family hated Yan Mao very much and didn't want him to come into contact with that circle.Besides, Ming's family is not very prosperous, he should have taken over his aunt's burden, going back and forth to help the family sell those expensive jade and wood, he shouldn't be an actor.

What made him decide to make a movie was probably because of the film he saw for the first time when he was a teenager.

That year, he was taken by Yan Mao to the basement projection room of his house, watching Yan Mao turn the crank on the old-fashioned projector, and the machine started to move, turning into pictures one by one.

That was the first time he saw a film on film.

The screening room is very small, it is a basement, and it is also the place where Yan Mao and his mother Ming Wenlan made love.Mingzheng feels that that place is very suitable for dating, maybe Yanmao coaxed his mother to sleep there, and then he got himself.

At that time, Yan Mao pointed to the image on the screen and said, "This is my good friend's film. This director is a film fan just like your mother."Ah Zheng, look at the leading actor, he is a newcomer, only a little older than you.

Ming Zheng looked at the boy in white running on the screen, and felt as if he could smell the forest in the movie, the clean and distant fragrance.The shadow running barefoot ran faster and faster, and seemed to have grown wings behind him.

At that time, Mingzheng only thought that this person was pretty good-looking, so he asked a little absent-mindedly, what's his name?

Yan Mao said it was Zheng Guanyu.

At the age when I didn't know what I should do, I felt a kind of tender admiration for Zheng Guanyu. It was a somewhat ethereal illusion, perfect in my memory.

If admiration and respect are also a kind of liking, then Ming Zheng feels that he also likes Zheng Guanyu.

When he really stood next to him and laughed, and sat on the bed with him, the Zheng Guanyu he liked disappeared, and the light on him also disappeared. He was so moving only when he was connected with the movie.

Zheng Guanyu in front of him suddenly sighed, and Mingzheng suddenly came back to his senses.

Zheng Guanyu: "Basically, we've known each other for a long time. But today I realized that we don't know each other at all. Two people who don't know each other at all will actually act in front of the camera and love each other for a lifetime."

Mingzheng thought for a while, and replied: "Perhaps it's better not to understand. If you really understand, then it's boring. Gao Xiaoyu and Chen Zhou don't need to know so much about each other."

Zheng Guanyu: "I'll talk to you about us, and you talk to me about the role."

Mingzheng raised his head and said, "Why should I talk to you about us, we should only talk about characters."

He always speaks with a bit of sarcasm on purpose, waiting for Zheng Guanyu to get annoyed.But this person seemed to have some mental preparations, but he was not angry. After he finished speaking, he would look up at him and send a soft smile.

I really know how to act.Mingzheng sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat lost for some reason.

"Last time you said that I paid too much attention to Gao Xiaoyu and didn't like me like that." Zheng Guanyu said, "Why are you unhappy?"

Why not happy?

"I'm not upset."

Zheng Guanyu looked at him with his chin propped up, with a half-smile: "Do you care about me?"

Ming Zheng glanced at him, and found that Zheng Guanyu was staring at him inquisitively.

Before he could answer, Zheng Guanyu smiled, and said again: "I actually want to pretend to be too involved in the drama, so that you care about me so much every day, what should I do?"

Mingzheng had no choice but to kick back: "Then guess what I want to care about is Zheng Guanyu or Gao Xiaoyu?"

Zheng Guanyu seemed quite indifferent, and said generously: "Any one is fine, after all, I have participated."

This round, Ming Zheng felt that he hadn't said anything about him.

When he was still upset, Li Zhiyuan knocked on the door and said that he was going to start and go down to the show.

They looked at each other and walked out together.

When passing by the film camera, Mingzheng's eyes stayed on it for a few seconds.

In a certain past era, the shooting rate was 16-24 frames. Later, the International Film Association began to recommend that cinemas use 24 frames per second as the standard. Now that the times have progressed, there are already 48 frames per second, 60 frames per second...

The days of film are long gone.

After all, filming is too troublesome.Not to mention the heavy machine, the film needs to be changed within a few hours of shooting, and the finished film needs to be refrigerated, and there is no light to be seen when changing the film, otherwise everyone's hard work will be in vain.

But Mingzheng has always had an inexplicable fascination with film, because he can't forget the feeling when he watched Yan Mao show him a film film that year.

That feeling is incomparable, the light and shadows within reach seem to have warmth, and the sound of the film machine turning... In Ming Zheng's heart, that is the most expensive sound in the world.

There are fewer and fewer film films now, and Li Zhiyuan also said that this film will be his last film film.

Looking at the camera from a distance, Mingzheng was in a daze, asking himself what it would be like to be in love for a lifetime.

Does Chen Zhou love Gao Xiaoyu?

When he was thinking, Li Zhiyuan had already shouted that sentence——

"Action."
