After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn

The scene where Shen Yu and Yan Sheng meet for the first time in the play will not exceed 2 minutes in the finished movie.If it is placed on the old drama bone, it is estimated that it will be a one-time plot.At best, NG two or three times, and then find a shot.Taking Shen Yu's acting skills into consideration, Director Xu specially set aside a whole morning.Make sure that Shen Yu's acting skills will not be too tragic in the comparison of all the big names.Even so, Xu Musen found that he still overestimated Shen Yu's ability——

This scene was filmed for most of the day, and it was not until after four o'clock in the afternoon that it barely met Director Xu's requirements.By the time the props team and the lighting camera set up the set for the next scene, it was already dark.

Fortunately, Tao Mu and Yan Sheng's rivalry scene was in a bar, and it didn't affect the shooting outside in the dark or in the daytime.

Tao Mu, who had been sitting behind Director Xu watching the monitor and watching Yan Sheng's acting skills, got up and walked into the set.The makeup artist stepped forward to touch up the makeup of Tao Mu and Yan Sheng.Yan Sheng didn't dare to make too much movement, so he could only squint at Tao Mu with his eyes, and said without moving his lips, "I heard from them that your acting skills are good."

Tao Mu also replied blankly: "Yan Yingdi's acting skills are also very good."

Yan Sheng laughed: "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, for the next scene, Mr. Tao, please let me see how good your acting skills are."

"It's easy to say." After the makeup artist finished the makeup, the assistant came over with a mineral water bottle with a straw inserted in it.Tao Mu lowered his head and took a sip of water, stood up straight, and looked at Yan Sheng at the same level: "You will see it soon."

Yan Sheng smiled slightly, his gentle and calm aura suddenly became serious and a little aggressive.

The whole set fell silent.The actors who were still on the set secretly gathered in a corner that the camera could not scan, and the staff also took their positions.The atmosphere suddenly became tense, as if an arrow was on the string, ready to explode.

Even Director Xu, who was sitting in the director's chair, couldn't help straightening his back, leaning forward, and staring straight at the monitor.

The scene recorder shouted "a" in front of the camera with a clipboard.

The explosive DI dance music suddenly sounded, the extras stood on the dance floor shaking their heads and dancing, and the waitress dressed as a bunny girl walked around holding a tray.Yan Cheng, the male protagonist played by Yan Sheng, lay down in front of the bar, buying drunk cup after cup, until he was drunk like mud.

I have to admit that Yan Sheng's acting skills are really superb.He sat unsteadily on the bar chair, propped his elbows on the bar, and dragged his body to slide down from time to time.Whether it's the slightly dull and careless eyes, or the details of shaking the glass and pouring it into the mouth, people can clearly realize from the body language that this person is drinking to relieve their sorrow.It is even possible to observe the bitterness and unwillingness in this person's heart from the slight trembling of the corner of his mouth, the complex emotions of restraint and tyranny that want to vent.

Sitting in front of the monitor, Director Xu's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand to signal the No. [-] camera to follow up for a close-up of the face and hands.Yan Sheng's personality has always been gentle and approachable.So when he usually acts, he is also very good at taking care of his partner's emotions.Unless you meet Zhou Yanqing, who has superb acting skills and rich experience, he will deliberately restrain himself when facing newcomers.It is rare to see such an aggressive performance with full power as soon as the lens is opened.

It is like the tranquility before the eruption of the volcano. Although it is stable and there is no wave, it is very explosive when it relaxes.He quietly attracted everyone's attention.Even if Yan Sheng doesn't say a word, there is still no one more attractive than him in the whole shot.

Shot #[-] turns to the door of the bar.Contrary to what everyone imagined, the camera did not directly focus on Tao Mu's face, but fixed on the pair of feet wearing white sneakers.

It seems that he wants to reflect the character's personality through the clothing. After joining the gang, Zhou Yuanting, played by Tao Mu, usually wears white and black.Either a white T-shirt, black jeans, or black jeans and white sneakers.

When Tao Mu wrote the biography of the characters, he analyzed or set up Zhou Yuanting's characters to be a bit stinky.He is handsome and knows how attractive he is to girls.So even after joining the gang, Tao Mu's dress is still meticulous, trying his best to be handsome.

But in this scene, Zhou Yuanting, who has always been exquisite, didn't even notice that the shoelaces were loose.Just walking into the bar step by step, the messy shoelaces seem to reflect the mood of the owner.

But even so, if Tao Mu can only show this level.I'm afraid he will be suppressed by Yan Sheng.

Zhou Yuanting walked into the bar, went straight to the counter, and sat next to Yan Chi.His slender fingers tapped on the countertop and ordered a glass of whiskey.But he didn't drink. He was playing with the crystal glass, and the ice cubes in the glass jingled as it was shaken.Zhou Yuanting put one hand on Yan Chi's shoulder, still maintaining the good condition of the two brothers, and asked Yan Chi: "You and Yan Yu are actually brothers, why have you never heard of it?"

Even though he was so miserable that he drank his sorrows away, Yan Chi was still a trained Xiangcheng policeman.The long-term undercover career keeps him on the highest level of vigilance, not to mention that Yan Yu is the family member he cares about most.

Hearing this sentence, Yan Chi's eyes immediately changed.Under the close-up of the camera, Yan Sheng's pupils suddenly dilated, and his eyes were dazzlingly bright.Even the muscles around the eye sockets were affected at that moment, showing an extremely shocked micro-expression.But only for a moment, Yan Chi woke up.He glanced calmly at the bartender at the bar.Turning to look at Zhou Yuanting, still drunk: "What are you talking about!"

Zhou Yuanting leaned forward and leaned in front of Yan Chi.The camera freezes from the sides of the two, Yan Chi is lying on the bar counter, completely drunk.The body is relaxed and the posture is lazy.However, under the bar, Yan Chi stepped on the bar chair, his right hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, but the upper half of his arm was still loose.It vividly expresses an emotion that is vigilant but wants to cover up the past.

Zhou Yuanting, who was sitting next to him, maintained the intimate gesture of putting his arm on Yan Chi's shoulder.However, Zhou Yuanting's lower body, who was supposed to lean over with this movement, always kept a fist's distance away.Under the performance of the camera, it looks like two brothers with their upper bodies hooked shoulder to shoulder, but their lower bodies keep a distance unconsciously.The small details of slowly moving the two from trusting partners to seemingly incompatible opponents have a particularly visual effect.

Xu Dao, who was sitting in front of the monitor, was moved and motioned for the camera to take a close-up of Zhou Yuanting's face.

The second shot moves up along Zhou Yuanting's arm, from the forearm to the shoulder, to the Adam's apple and then to the chin, finally revealing Zhou Yuanting's eyes.

The corners of Zhou Yuanting's mouth still had a customary arc.Zhou Yuanting likes to laugh very much, he has that bad tone when he smiles, the corners of his mouth are raised fiercely, the orbicularis oculi muscle is contracted, and the zygomaticus major and levator oris muscles contract synergistically, so that the smile will look particularly full.Coupled with the rich collagen apple muscle of young people, it looks particularly youthful and handsome, with the unique spirit of a big boy.

But now, Zhou Yuanting's smile only remains on the lower half of his face, the zygomaticus major muscle is lifted up symbolically, but the orbicularis oculi muscle does not change at all, and the dark eyes are also deep and without any emotion.Looking at it suddenly from the camera, it turned out to be a little hideous.

From the perspective of the whole script, this scene is the turning point of Zhou Yuanting's blackening.It was in this scene that Zhou Yuanting learned that the first undercover candidate selected by the police was Yan Yu, but because of Yan Chi's strong opposition, he finally became him.

The person who was supposed to graduate from the police academy and become a glorious police officer has now become a street gangster who is reviled by everyone.Family and friends all stayed away overnight, and Zhou Yuanting's father was so angry that he had a heart attack and refused to let him enter the house.During the school period, his training performance was far inferior to that of his fellow student police officers who could wear police uniforms on duty.He can only roam the streets and alleys with a bunch of gangsters every day.From time to time, he was detained by these fellow student police officers, handcuffed and squatting in the police station, listening to them reprimand him like a prisoner.

All of this was brought to him by the man in front of him.It's ridiculous that Zhou Yuanting really regards Yan Chi as a partner, and fantasizes about cooperating with him to complete the task and return to the police station to refresh the files.

In the script, in order to pave the way for Zhou Yuanting's dark transformation.In fact, there is another game ahead.It means that Zhou Yuanting accidentally met a policeman who used to be an undercover agent.That man had been undercover in the gang for eight years, and finally successfully completed his mission and returned to the police station.However, what greeted him was not flowers, applause, and high salary, but the bad habits left on him by years of gangster life-making him out of tune with other colleagues in the police station.

"They always say that officials are officials, and thieves are thieves. It is only natural for officers and soldiers to catch thieves. But what is an official and what is a thief?"

"You work in the police station and wear a police uniform to work every day. You are an official. If you live in a den of thieves, you are a thief."

"I have been undercover for eight years, in order to cheat the boss's trust. I have done all kinds of bad things. Killing people, selling drugs, whoring, they all do it, don't you? But can the police do these things?"

"I returned to the police station after being an undercover agent for eight years. During the same period, all the police officers were promoted to senior inspectors. My connections are all over Xiangcheng. Only I don't know anyone except my online. When I go out to deal with people, they still doubt whether I will Inform the gangsters. The brothers who helped me block the knife before are also comrades-in-arms on the battlefield. But I want to send them to prison with my own hands..."

"Being an undercover agent has no human rights. One day a thief will remain a thief forever. The officials won't believe you, and the thief won't kill you for revenge. Two people are not human. It's not so easy for you to get rid of the shadows of these years."

The undercover officer was later hacked to death by his brother after he got out of prison.

Before that scene, Zhou Yuanting, Du Ze and the others fought with other gangs with their brothers, and were caught by Yan Yu and the police at the last moment.Handcuffed in the police station and squatting to record a statement, it is disappointing to be accused by Yan Yuyi of being self-depraved.

It was under such circumstances that Zhou Yuanting learned of the brotherly relationship between Yan Chi and Yan Yu, and that Yan Chi made others go undercover in order to protect his younger brother.

All the previous foreshadowing and emotional accumulation broke out together in this scene.However, Tao Mu did not film the previous scenes.If there is no accumulation of emotion, it needs to explode immediately.Director Xu was still worried that Tao Mu's performance would be slightly inferior.After all, Yan Sheng performed really well in this scene.

But he didn't expect that Tao Mu's acting skills would be even more astonishing when Yan Sheng performed wonderfully.

"I said I didn't know that you and Yan Yu were brothers." Zhou Yuanting lay beside Yan Chi's ear, his arms changed from hooking his shoulders to holding the back of his neck: "We are partners. Sir Zhou asked me to Cooperate well with your work. Let us trust each other. As a result, Brother Yan, you refused to tell me even such an important thing. "

Zhou Yuanting chuckled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Brother Yan, did you never trust me from the beginning to the end?"
