The Salted Fish Invading the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 121 Open Mirror

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

A scene from a self-built village in Bashu,
After a simple power-on ceremony, everyone is ready to start the camera;

Including all the staff and actors, I was a little nervous, and I kept praying for the blessings of various gods in my heart: This is a big production of 5 million yuan, I hope the first scene of the shooting will go well, and it will give the show a good sign.

Yang Zhu saw that even the little white rabbit was nagging, he couldn't help being angry and funny, and knocked her on the head with the script: "What are you doing? Buddha, what god do you worship?"

Little White Rabbit put down his clasped hands, touched his head, and felt a little aggrieved: "BOSS, aren't you nervous? This is a rare super-large production in China, and the first scene is very important."

Yang Zhu ordered the staff of Longteng Moying and the special effects make-up artist to do a final check on more than 30 group performers, and said to the little white rabbit: "Don't worry, with Mr. Liu here, the first scene will definitely be fine."

Not far away, Chen Daomin snorted a little sourly. He originally thought that Yang Zhu would let himself, the film king, act in such a symbolic first scene. Unexpectedly, he didn't even think about it, so he called Brother Liu by name;
Is this looking down on him, or as he said, Liu Xun's acting skills are really better than his own?

I looked at this old man whom I hadn't seen in half a year,

Well, he is a little thinner than half a year ago, but his spirit is better. There is not much makeup on his thin face, but he has added two long white eyebrows and a beard. These things are different from his slightly bitter appearance. When the faces of the two are put together, they unexpectedly look different;

"Director Yang, the props and extras have been checked, there is no problem, we can start." An assistant director walked by.

Yang Zhu nodded: "OK, check each camera position for the last time; turn on the ignition, remember to control the wind direction of the fan, and don't let the smoke block the lens."

The last sentence was addressed to the prop staff.

Suddenly, dozens of old thatched huts burned, and thick smoke billowed up;

In less than 20 minutes, all that remained were the earthen walls and wooden beams deliberately left in a few thatched huts;
With a wave of Yang Zhu's hand, a group of group performers who had been rehearsed more than ten times earlier, wearing special effects makeup and not afraid of the heat, lay skillfully in their respective positions, posing in the poses that had been designed,

Some dug their five fingers into the soil, and their bodies were like bow shrimps lying on their sides;
Some fold their bodies diagonally and lie on thick bamboo poles;
Some of them looked up to the sky, with "death wailing" on their faces;
Immediately, the "mummy" all over the floor perfectly presented the murder scene. Although there was no trace of blood, the strange postures and painful faces made people panic.

Seeing that it was almost done, Yang Zhu shouted to Liu Xun: "Mr. Liu, please!"

Liu Xun took a slight breath and nodded to the director.

Yang Zhu sat back in the director's chair: "OK, the first scene of "Zhu Xian", the first scene, ACTION!"

As the large swinging arm moved, Liu Xun walked to the mirror with a quick and unhurried pace;
I saw him walking three meters in front of several "mummy corpses", his steps suddenly slowed down, his pupils shrank slightly, and his body made a slight defensive posture.
After he glanced at it and found that there was no danger, his pupils returned to normal and his body relaxed;

I saw him looking around at the "mummy" around him. On his slightly bitter face, his eyebrows drooped, and his facial features were slightly wrinkled. Coupled with those peaceful eyes, suddenly, a kind of "compassionate and sympathetic" temperament broke through the painting. out;

He shook his head slowly, lowered his head with the ring scar slightly lowered, and said with a deep sigh: "Amitabha..."

In the close-up shot, the combination of the jagged teeth and the slightly trembling lips made the photographer think: the eminent monk, this is the eminent monk who has attained the Tao...

With a wave of Yang Zhu's hand, the little child star who had been seated early in the corner let out low-pitched weeping and sobbing full of deliberate suppression,
Liu Xun focused his ears, his face and body showed alertness again, but it was fleeting,
Then, he walked forward with vigorous steps that did not match his age at all,

However, the corner of his eyes still glanced at the "mummy" around him from time to time, as if he was ready for an attack at any time...

"CUT!"

"OK, very good, this one is over; Mr. Liu, thank you for your hard work!" Yang Zhu looked at the picture replayed in the camera with satisfaction, and gave Liu Xun a thumbs up;

Liu Xun panted slightly, took the water handed over by the staff, and took a sip;
The short 20-second shot just now looked very simple, but every movement must mobilize all the muscles to cooperate, and the deliberate display of vigor brought a lot of load to him who is too old.

But fortunately, I finally didn't feel embarrassed and deserved the director's attention.

The little white rabbit watching from the sidelines stared at the thin old man with admiration in her eyes. After acting for so long, she certainly knows how difficult this kind of "detailed" performance is. Although the difficulty of the scene just now was not very high, But seeing Weizhi's works, these few strokes are enough to see Liu Xun's actual performance level.

Chen Daomin on the other side looked a little serious. He compared himself with Liu Xun, and found that if he wanted to play this role, the range of movements he would show would be far greater than that of this old brother, but the same effect would require more big shots. Body language is used to assist, some of them fall behind the lower level, the key is that the essence of the character "quiet" of this character can no longer be interpreted;

No wonder that kid values ​​Brother Liu so much, his acting skills are not bad;
Thinking back to the acting skills that boy Yang Zhu showed in front of him back then, it seemed that his acting skills were not at all superior among the rivals of the three sect leaders;

Thinking of this, Chen Daomin suddenly felt a toothache...

………………

After a short break of 5 minutes, the shooting continued. We had to finish shooting this 5-minute shot while the fire in these houses was not completely extinguished. Otherwise, we would have to re-build and burn it again, which would waste a lot of time and budget. went.

"The first scene of "Zhu Xian", the second scene, ACTION!"

Following Yang Zhu's order, the group of performers who took a break immediately lay back down in their original posture.

Liu Xun walked up to the child star Xiaolei in civilian clothes,

I saw Xiao Lei, who was kneeling next to the two "mummy" sobbing hoarsely, as if sensing someone in front of him, he suddenly raised his head, and stopped crying, his eyes that were originally tearful were immediately guarded, staring at Liu in front of him. Hoon;
"CUT!"

Yang Zhu touched his chin, hesitant;

It stands to reason that this nine-year-old kid did a good job, and his expression was in place, acting out the sadness and helplessness of a child who lost his parents;
But...the so-called no harm without comparison, Liu Xun performed so well before, he could score 90 points, but here he went straight down, coupled with Xiao Lei's performance of 70 points, the gap in the middle made Yang Zhu feel very uncomfortable is uncomfortable;
So he didn't care whether he was a child or not. He walked up to Xiao Lei and said to him:
"Xiao Lei, there are a few areas that need to be strengthened in the performance just now;"

"First, when you cried just now, it wasn't very vivid. You can try sitting on the ground, hugging your knees with your arms, burying your head and crying."

"Remember, at this time you must bite your lips tightly and sniff more often;"

"Second, when you cry, control the muscles of your body and make it tremble slightly;"

"Third, when you feel someone is in front of you, don't raise your head all at once, but quickly raise your head to the position where your eyes are exposed, there is a pause of 0.2 seconds in the middle, and then let go of your body and make a defensive expression ;"

"Fourth, when you show a defensive expression, add an action to increase the memory of your character, that is, quickly roll your body sideways and touch the stone on the ground with your hand, but let's save it and not send it out. The feeling is that whenever the other party shows a move that is unfavorable to you, you can take a stone and smash it hard;”

"Remember, the eyes at this time must be fierce and sharp!"

After finishing the play, Xiaolei was seriously thinking about how to act,
Liu Xun on the side frowned a little, the other party was just a child, the director asked so much, can he do well?
Somewhat unexpectedly, Xiaolei was born as a child star after all, so he only went through the CUT twice, and passed the third cut easily.

However, the other actors watching the show looked a little sad. Although the crew had long heard that Director Yang had very high requirements for the actors' acting skills, at this moment, it was still a bit beyond their expectations, even for a child. So harsh, when it is our turn, we must not be tortured to death?
………………

Perhaps it is really talented, Xiaolei's performance has become more and more interesting after the first scene;
In the camera, he bit his lip hard and raised his eyes slightly, as if he had made a huge decision.
With a plop, he knelt down heavily, with a sonorous voice: "Master, please accept me as a disciple, learn supernatural powers, and avenge my parents and the whole village of Caomiao Village!"

Then he kowtowed three times,

The little white rabbit on the side couldn't bear it, it hurts so much, this kid, doesn't he care about his body at all?

After kowtowing, when Xiao Lei raised his head again, his face was full of determination, but his brows and eyes were full of hatred;

Liu Xun looked at this little face full of hatred, his pupils shrank, but a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it was fleeting;
He raised his head and looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, with a hint of helplessness on his face full of compassion, he sighed and said, "This is the world's number one immortal sect - Qingyunmen, but it is inconvenient for me to intervene."

Suddenly, Liu Xun seemed to be aware of something, his eyes glanced towards a certain direction in the sky, his brows were slightly frowned on the sideways face, as if hesitating for something,
Turning his head to look at Zhang Xiaofan who looked downcast and silent, Liu Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, his pupils were like needles, his apple muscles were raised, and there was a hint of evil on his originally benevolent face.

After half a second, the evil intention disappeared, and he turned back into the merciful monk again.

There was a hint of hesitation in his peaceful voice: "However... since I met you in this place full of corpses, I have formed a karma with you."

Slightly closing his eyes, he sighed softly: "My Buddhist school is the most concerned about cause and effect. Although I cannot accept you as a disciple for some reasons, I cannot let you go."

Then he gritted his teeth, and untied a small copper-colored Lin Long ball from his neck, which was densely engraved with Sanskrit words:

……

The performance continued for nearly 5 minutes, and the two people, one old and one young, did not stop at all, and the whole picture was extremely smooth.
Liu Xun's evil spirits and calculations occasionally leaked between his brows, and Xiaolei's honest and honest face from time to time, the hatred, fortitude and small tricks full of small calculations all opened the eyes of the onlookers.

"CUT!"

"Very good, this long shot is over!" Yang Zhu nodded with great satisfaction.

Let Sun Jian and another supporting actor enter, and after shooting another set of shots, announce: "Today's shooting task is completed, call it a day!"

………………

In the evening, the little white rabbit who was pulled out to eat barbecue with him was a little absent-minded;
Yang Zhu asked curiously: "What's the matter? You look like you're out of your mind?"

The little white rabbit sighed a little dejectedly: "I was hit hard today."

Yang Zhu looked at her with a funny face: "I said before, Mr. Liu is someone I admire very much. His acting skills are better than most movie kings. You can't compare with him. His decades of drama You have only come to this point after accumulating with acting, where have you been?"

The little white rabbit was still a little bit unmotivated: "For Mr. Liu, I am completely convinced. When I am at his age in this life, I will be very satisfied if I can catch up with his level."

"But...that Xiaolei, how old is he, and his acting is so good, what will happen in the future?"

"Hey... It's quite shocking to think about it. Unfortunately, I used to think that my acting skills were pretty good. Now it seems that a child is almost catching up with me."

Yang Zhu smiled: "Xiao Lei... In fact, child stars are an advantage, but they also have a huge crisis. It depends on whether they can not lose themselves, but I think this child is more determined. If he persists, it will be another tomorrow." Star."

"You have to hurry up, don't really be compared to others, then you will really lose face and lose your face!"

When it comes to this topic, Yang Zhu thinks of the small actors in another world who shocked people's attention, and expresses his feelings: "But to be honest, there are more and more future generations in our country who are talented in acting. If you want to be like in the past, the days when you can act in a movie just by having a look are gone forever.”

"This can be regarded as a reminder to you; as an actor, especially a movie actor, you must have a strong sense of crisis. Once your acting skills stagnate, or the routine is finalized, you will be overtaken. It's not far away."

The little white rabbit nodded with lingering fear, pressed his arm hard, and looked like a young girl in an island country manga: "Boss-san, I will work hard. One day, I will use my acting skills to conquer the entire sea of ​​stars!"

Listening to such a ridiculous line, Yang Zhu felt a black line on his forehead and gave her a hard shock: "This kind of line is so shameful. I have told you to read less comics!"

Little White Rabbit covered his head, rubbed it hard, and said aggrievedly: "It was you who asked me to read it in the first place. You said some of the expressions in the comics were very tense!"

Yang Zhu was speechless, and coughed: "But I didn't let you learn the second-year lines in the comics!"

The little white rabbit shrugged and bit the roasted mushroom in front of him;

Yang Zhu looked at her fierce expression, and suddenly felt a little moved. He leaned close to her ear and said a few words.

The little white rabbit blushed, glared at him fiercely, and whispered, "What if someone finds out?"

Yang Zhu said indifferently: "If you find out, you will find out. Anyway, the relationship between us can be exposed at any time."

The little white rabbit hesitated: "But this way, it always feels a little weird, people will think I'm holding your thigh to get on the seat."

Yang Zhu sneered: "What kind of thigh am I, I'm just a rookie director."

Little White Rabbit sneered and rolled his eyes at him: "You dare to make a movie with an investment of 5 million, and you are still called a rookie director. You are simply firing a map cannon!"

Then he said timidly: "Boss, I want to wait for the day when my acting skills are truly recognized by the audience, and I will disclose our relationship again, okay? This way everyone won't have so many gossips."

Yang Zhu rubbed his chin: "Well... Ms. Wan Jing, are you planning to announce our relationship after the Oscar for Best Actress?
The little white rabbit patted his thigh lightly angrily: "Give back the Oscar, thank God if I can get a Golden Horse Award someday!"

Then there was a hint of pleading in his tone: "Well, boss, I don't need any awards, as long as the audience thinks that my performance is not bad, we will officially announce our relationship."

Yang Zhu shrugged indifferently: "It doesn't matter, anyway, you are the one who suffers because of no name or distinction."

The little white rabbit wrinkled his nose: "Anyway, I have already eaten the biggest loss, and I don't care about eating more."

Yang Zhu looked at the empty plate on Table Mountain, and stared at her with an evil smile: "It's past ten o'clock in the evening, it's time to go back and rest..."

After finishing speaking, he stood up to pay the bill, and then slowly got into the car;

Xiaobai sat in the passenger seat, his face flushed and he said nonchalantly, "First... Let's talk about it first, you can't push too hard, you have to film a movie tomorrow."

Yang Zhu smiled evilly: "Well...it depends on your performance."

The little white rabbit's face turned even redder, and she didn't dare to look at him, she grabbed the seat belt tightly with both hands, and snorted inaudibly;
It seems to be disdainful, and it seems to be coquettish...

PS: I had my tooth extracted yesterday, and I deeply realized what life is like. Even with anesthesia, the pain that goes deep into the bone marrow is still unforgettable for my life (maybe it is because the lower gum was extracted. ? I saw the tooth root, it was 5cm long)
From yesterday to now, this pain has been with me, even the back of my head is twitching; in short, the state has been extremely bad for the past two days, and even the update is not stable, everyone forgive me.

Hmm... Actually, the most painful thing is that within a week, the doctor threatened not to eat spicy food, otherwise infection might be life-threatening. Although I knew that this possibility was very small, I still shamefully compromised,
Woooo~~~ How can I live without chili peppers! ?
