In late April, the weather has gradually warmed up. After more than a month of concentrated scenes, Li Hyuk also ushered in his last scene in "In the Name of the People".
In fact, Li He had some doubts about this scene. For a character like Qi Tongwei who is on the road of no return, Hou Liangping's chicken soup is useless to him. Director Li Lu and screenwriter Zhou Meisen also know this problem.
Therefore, the final arrangement was for Qi Tongwei to commit suicide instead of accepting legal sanctions after being persuaded by Hou Liangping.
In this scene, Li He has a lot of room to play, while Lu Yi's role is somewhat fixed. This is something that can't be helped. Hou Liangping can only do this because of his natural role setting.
Although it is a scene at the end of the script, due to Li Hyuk's schedule, everything was filmed intensively, and this scene was also shot. Li Hyuk was putting on makeup while facing Lu Yi. Lu Yi was a good master of lines and could speak out of script at any time.
In terms of lines, Li Hyuk still admires him very much.
"Here in a minute, I'll emphasize this sentence, and you have to give me emotional feedback." Lu Yi pointed at the script book and said.
Li He looked at this line, nodded and said, "OK, let's practice it again later."
After a simple rehearsal, the filming of the scene was about to begin. Li Hyuk was about to leave the crew, so today the main actors of the crew came to say goodbye. Before the filming started, Li Hyuk's assistants Yuanyuan and Dali brought several drinks to the staff present.
and extras.
"Teacher Li He is going to kill Qinglu today, so I specially invited everyone to drink. They will all come to my place to get some." said the leader of the group.
The listless faces of the extras finally had some radiance. The weather is starting to get hot, so it would be nice to have a cold drink. The group leader continued: "But, you must cooperate well in today's scene and cheer up, okay?"
"Okay..." the extras replied sparsely, feebly, making the group shake their heads and say nothing. All extras are like this. Except for a few who really have dreams, they will take every extra performance seriously and do their best.
Apart from expressing themselves, the other extras are just there to mess around.
There is a popular saying in Hengdian that when extra performers come to Hengdian, women will become bad and men will become lazy. Although there are some absolutes, most extra performers are not hardworking people.
Not everyone can complete the gorgeous transformation from group actor to star like Bao Qiang and Li Hyuk. Only a very few people can achieve the level like Brother Qiang, which is already quite remarkable. By the way, Brother Qiang is now
He is also a prime supporting actor. He won the Best Supporting Actor. Because he played the eunuch so well, he was praised as a professional father-in-law.
Compared with Li Hyuk, Bao Qiang is still far behind. Although he became famous early, his narrow acting career limited his room for improvement. "Detective Chinatown", which was released last year and achieved good box office, can be regarded as his good masterpiece. Director Chen Sicheng is famous for his work with Wanda
Due to differences between the film industry, they have decided to introduce investment from Da Mi Mi Studio on the condition that they support him.
After research, Da Mi Mi and Li He thought this series had great potential, so they agreed to invest. As for grabbing the cake from Wanda Pictures, it was inevitable. After all, everyone wants interests, and competition and cooperation are the norm in this industry.
"OK, the set is set up and can start at any time." The assistant director said with the intercom.
"Okay, let the actors come in." Li Lu looked at the monitor, fully prepared for this scene and waiting for today's filming to start.
Li He and Lu Yi got ready, the assistant director arranged the positions of the extras, and the scene officially began.
"Hou Liangping, don't you think the person I want to kill the most in this world is you?" Qi Tongwei, played by Li He, held a sniper rifle against Hou Liangping, played by Lu Yi, in the room.
"This is the place where your dreams and glory began. Your return to this place today shows that your humanity has not been completely wiped out, and that you still have right and wrong in your heart, so I am also willing to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."
Unit 1 gave Qi Tongwei, played by Li Hyuk, a close-up of his face. The eyes on his face, including his facial muscles, were all drama, to put it bluntly.
Lu Yi has been in the group for more than a month and has been tortured by veteran actors. He has already made great progress. This scene was performed smoothly without any problems.
"Old senior, how can you bear to attack Chen Hai? He is Chen Yang's younger brother! Even you yourself said that it is because of Chen Yang that you don't resent the unfairness of fate. Think about the Chen family
How did I treat you? When you did this, did you really not feel guilty?"
Director Li Lu secretly exclaimed that it was wonderful, Lu Yi did a great job, and Li He was still very good. In fact, Li Lu is the kind of director who gives actors a lot of room to perform. Basically, before acting, he will tell the actors what they want.
He doesn't care about how it feels, how the actor performs it, or his movements and demeanor.
Therefore, there are many scenes in "In the Name of the People" where the actors improvised, and the results were quite good.
Hou Liangping sighed and said: "I was on the phone with Chen Hai at the time. You murdered Chen Hai in front of me. Think about it from another position. Can you allow a man who murdered your brother to escape justice?
"
Qi Tongwei's sudden emotional outburst shocked the crew: "I can't help it. I regard Chen Hai as a brother. I don't want to kill anyone. I can't help it."
"That's right, you are not such a person. You don't want to lose your huge wealth. You become crazy. When you do this, are you afraid in your heart? Have you ever thought about how to face Chen Hai in the future?" Hou Liangping
scolded.
The veteran actors and actresses on the sidelines whispered to each other. Zhang Zhijian said: "Lu Yi has tried his best, but Li He is really too weird."
"Yes," Wu Gang nodded with approval and said, "Who would have thought that this is an actor in his twenties or fives, and his acting skills are so good that God is giving him a gift."
"No, it's just like chasing after food, my God..."
Many veteran actors were amazed, and the filming was still going on. Although Lu Yi had performed well enough in this scene, he still seemed to be overshadowed by Li Hyuk's divine acting.
"What the hell is fear? Isn't it just death? Isn't it just death?"
"I'm not here today to take your life. I'm here to take you home. You should also know that some people want your life, because if you die, they will be at peace."
This scene can be described as high-energy throughout, and the extras next to it were all transfixed. It was really amazing. He was also a group performer, how could Li Hyuk be so awesome...
At the same time, this also inspired the extra actors who have dreams. If Li Hyuk can do it, so can they. They all carry one head on their shoulders, and no one is worse than the other.
Of course, they would not have thought that Li Hyuk, the only one on earth, and no one else, could have the talent, but not everyone could have the kind of acting skills honed in political struggles.
If I were to find someone who looks very similar to Lee Hyuk, it would probably be President Shimogi from the American TV series "House of Cards".
Because of the outstanding performance of the two actors, the filming of this scene went smoothly. It was not a dream for Li Hyuk to finish filming today.
