love story

"Crack~~~!"

In a small room, the director's deep voice sounded.

Then, all the actors in the small room collapsed on the chairs.This is already the No. 15 "click" of this scene, and I don't know when it will be filmed.

With a sullen face, Zhou Lianying said to the actors: "Start again!"

The cameraman and the lighting engineer prepared the props, took their positions again, and reshot this scene. Their faces and backs were soaked in sweat. The room was steaming, only a small fan on the wall was spinning, emitting buzzing sound.

The small fan does not seem to bring cool wind to everyone in the hot weather, but increases the heat due to the emission of carbon dioxide.

"Start!" Zhou Lianying said.

The camera is on a group of actors.

"I said this is wrong!" An actor in the room stood up angrily and shouted at another actor who was sitting.

"Crack~~~~~~~!"

There was another "click", this is No. 16 times, because the actor said a wrong line, so the scene was stopped again.

The eyes of all the actors in the room showed despair, and some even let out a long sigh, and then two or three actors began to complain.

Zhou Lianying took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the sweat on his forehead, took the prepared water bottle and poured it down, and then said: "If you put in all your efforts to get in, we don't have to stay here For so long, it will also make our work easier. Now that this is the case, we will have to continue to consume."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the small room, and the staff in the crew also relaxed, and walked outside the room to get some air.

At this time, Li Guangyi, the assistant director next to Zhou Lianying, stood up from the chair next to him and said to the twelve male actors in the room: "Actually, Director Zhou has always been strict with his work, and he prepared this film. It’s been a long time, so I want to shoot it well, everyone rest for a while, let’s start again later.”

"Director Li, Director Zhou is too unkind. He shut us up in this small room to act, and there is no air conditioner in it. It's no wonder it doesn't heat to death." Actor Chen Kuang said.

"That's right, and I've been here for four hours in a row, everyone is tired, how could it be possible to shoot well?" another actor Qian Hao said.

Li Guangyi turned his head to look at a box of mineral water beside the table, walked over and tore open the carton, and distributed water for everyone.

After everyone drank a few sips of Li Guangyi's share of water, their spirits were much better than before.The constant NG just now made everyone die of thirst, and the high temperature in the room made people exhausted physically and mentally.

The movie that started shooting this time is a lawsuit movie called "The Jury", but this movie is a little different from what you usually see, because the movie is not a lawsuit duel between lawyers for the defendant or the victim, Rather, it is a decision-making film that revolves around a jury of 12 after a heated debate.

In the movie, a murderer kills someone, so a jury of twelve decides whether he is guilty or not.According to the arguments from the lawyer and the evidence they saw, they had to engage in a vigorous debate to come to an agreement.As long as one of the jurors has a different opinion from the other 11, the debate will continue until the 12 people reach a unanimous decision, which is the end of the whole movie.

The entire scene of this movie is in a small room, and twelve actors have to sit in the room to debate the whole time, so the movie seems simple, but it is actually very difficult.After all, movies rely on verbal disputes without much action, so there are even more lines to memorize.As long as there is a slight mistake, the meaning may be different. That's why Zhou Lianying is so strict that there can be no mistake.

In fact, the twelve male actors are all actors with superb acting skills. Although they may not all be first-line actors, their acting skills can be said to have reached a certain level.If there is no acting skills, it will be extremely difficult to perform this movie, which is maintained by words and facial expressions throughout the whole process.

It's not that everyone knows the difficulty of filming, it's just that being locked up in a small room for so long on a hot day, no matter how good the acting skills are, there may be mistakes.

As an assistant director, Li Guangyi understood the key point very well, so he gave water to everyone when Director Zhou went out.

"Director Li is better, he is more humane. Director Zhou is too harsh." Actor Guo Yifan said.

"Don't talk nonsense, we are lucky to receive Director Zhou's film. If you don't want it, there are many people waiting in line outside."

"That's right, Zeng Weijian is right. It is as difficult as heaven to get a role in Director Zhou's movie. Now that you have got it, why are you complaining?"

Zeng Weijian is a male star whose acting skills have reached the pinnacle in today's movie industry. He made a love movie called "Our Love" a while ago.For such an actor with acting skills, this love movie is a piece of cake, without any major difficulties.

This time, he was chosen by Zhou Lianying to be one of the leading actors in this movie, which is a push to another peak for his acting career.

In this movie, he played the only juror in it who thinks the killer should not be found guilty.When the other eleven jurors all believed that the murderer was guilty, he was the only one who believed that a person must go through a debate to decide whether he was guilty, instead of making a hasty decision and sending the person to the death penalty all at once.

The focus of the whole movie is concentrated on Zeng Weijian, to see how he alone expresses his favorable views and reasons under the questioning of 11 people, and slowly guides the rest of the jurors to stand on his side step by step. Look at things from a standpoint, and then slowly persuade the remaining jurors to reach a consensus.

After everyone rested for about 15 minutes, Zhou Lianying walked into the small room again and started filming with an order.

This time everyone cheered up and started the scene that hadn't happened just now.Since everyone wanted to complete the shooting as soon as possible, they worked more seriously than before, so this scene finally passed after No. 17 shots.

At this time, the actors all breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone showed a gratified smile on their faces. As long as the scene is filmed, they can go back to the hotel arranged by the crew to rest.

Zhou Lianying sat at his original position and re-watched the effect of the filming just now. He watched twelve actors sweating and arguing constantly. The hot weather made sweat drip from everyone's tense faces. This is exactly the effect he wanted for the film , but some places are still not to his liking.

"Guangyi, come and take a look." Zhou Lianying said suddenly.

Hearing the sound, Li Guangyi walked over and sat next to Zhou Lianying.

"Look at this scene, what do you think?" Zhou Lianying said while staring at the screen.

Li Guangyi showed seriousness on his face. He concentrated on observing everyone's expressions and acting skills in the movie, and he didn't see anything wrong for a while.

"Director Zhou, they all acted very well, what's wrong?" Li Guangyi asked curiously.

"You ran many different crews, and you have followed me to about three crews, don't you see it?" Zhou Lianying turned to stare at him and said.

After Li Guangyi heard his words, a look of shame appeared on his face, and then he watched the scene intently again.

"They all seem to be in high spirits?" Li Guangyi said suddenly.

Zhou Lianying's face immediately showed satisfaction, and said: "Exactly, they are too energetic. Did you give each of them a bottle of water just now?"

Li Guangyi nodded and said, "Well, I just see that they are a little tired..."

Zhou Lianying smiled and said: "Actually, filming is an actor's job, and it's not easy like other industries. If it's that simple, how can there be such a high salary."

He paused, and continued: "Just now I was unwilling to stop after they NGed so many times in a row just to bring about this effect. The controversy of this movie is ongoing, although there will be some pauses occasionally , but I want to create a visual effect that makes the audience feel tired. The jury debate is not easy, and it is still a hard job. If the fatigue is not revealed after arguing for so long, the whole movie will look too fake gone."

"Besides, the scene just now was a scene where they couldn't reach a consensus after arguing for several hours. In this situation, and in a hot and stuffy small room, who would be so energetic? "

Sitting beside him, Li Guangyi humbly accepted Zhou Lianying's teaching, and his heart suddenly became clear.Sure enough, as others said, I really learned a lot from being with Zhou Lianying, a great director.This instruction gave Li Guangyi a deeper understanding of acting.

evening.

It was already ten o'clock when Zhou Lianying returned to the hotel.After he finished filming the scene in the afternoon, he kept instructing other crew members on some after-hours work, and then came back with a tired body after having dinner outside.

"I came back so late, are you tired?"

Just after Zhou Lianying opened the hotel door, a seductive woman inside stepped forward and took off his coat for him.

Zhou Lianying left a kiss on the woman's face and said with a smile, "I won't be tired after seeing you."

"Really? Maybe you were fooling around just now, so you're more energetic now?"

This woman's name is Qin Shuang, and she is Zhou Lianying's wife. They have been married for 20 years, and their love is as good as ever. The entertainment media will report gossip about their lives.

For this shoot, Qin Shuang followed her husband to the crew.

Zhou Lianying hugged Qin Shuang to the bed with a smile, and said with a smile, "If there is any fooling around, we will find out after we come here."

Afterwards, Qin Shuang went to the bathroom to wash herself, and then put water for Zhou Lianying to take a bath.

"How is the filming going today?"

Zhou Lianying climbed to the right side of the bed after taking a bath, while Qin Shuang lay on the left side of the bed and asked.

"It's not bad, but it didn't achieve the effect I really wanted, but it's already very good." Zhou Lianying said.

"There is no heroine in this show, Director Zhou, don't you find it boring?" Qin Shuang kissed him, her eyes full of charm.

"Is it all right if you are here? Such a beautiful wife is by my side, how can I have time to see other people?" Zhou Lianying threw Qin Shuang down as she said.

"So old, is that still so strong?" Qin Shuang asked with an ambiguous smile.

"Seeing you, I am stronger than anything."

After speaking, she kissed Qin Shuang.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the hotel room, Zhou Lianying got up quickly, and whispered in Qin Shuang's ear, "I'll clean you up later." Then she straightened her nightgown and walked to the door.

He opened the door and said to the person outside: "It's you, it's so late, what can I do for you?"

Saying that, Zhou Lianying glanced at Qin Shuang on the bed, and seeing that she was fully dressed, she opened the door to let the man enter the room.

The man came in, took off his hat and windbreaker, and asked, "Director Zhou, I want to discuss something with you. Is it convenient for you now?"

Zhou Lianying closed the door, turned around and before she could speak, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and then fell to the ground.

Before Qin Shuang could cry out, she was quickly pushed down on the bed, and her chest was bleeding profusely.

At this time, it was still quiet inside and outside the room, there was no sound, only the very shallow breathing of the man, standing there, staring at the two men and women with joy in his eyes.

The author has something to say:

I'm back! !Does anyone miss me?

PS: The theme of the movie directed by Zhou is taken from the American movie "[-] Angry Men".
