What needed to be shot the next day was the scene of Lu Yiyi in the hospital bed.
Originally, people from the Medical Insurance Bureau approached the director of the city hospital, selected a ward, prepared to set up the set, and planned to rush all the patients to other rooms and find some extras to play the role.
At this time, Wu Bai quickly stopped him.
"I think for the sake of authenticity, we should shoot directly with real patients!"
"Only when real patients can't tell that you are acting, will it be shocking and realistic enough on the screen," Wu Bai explained.
Wang Chuanjun was a little surprised, it was the first time he heard such an acting method.
Before, everyone was afraid of contact with real patients.
Before the audition, I went to live and eat with some patients in the intensive care unit, but my manager had been opposed to it for a long time.
At this moment, the real patients should not be able to tell that it was staged!
high!
It’s really high!
Zhang Yimou also gave a thumbs up to express his admiration.
The makeup artist quickly painted Wang Chuanjun with the patient's pale makeup.
Wang Chuanjun, who had lost so much weight, also looked rickety and pitiful under the large hospital clothes.
"Yes, after this makeup, I do look more like a patient!" Zhang Yimou nodded.
"There's still too much hair." Wu Bai paused.
Wu Bai immediately asked someone from the Medical Insurance Bureau to call in several experts in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia to give some opinions on Wang Chuanjun's appearance.
In the past, everyone would only look up relevant information, but did not ask the corresponding experts to point out the inadequacies.
All the actors present and Zhang Yimou admired Wu Bai again.
really!
"Patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia will have thinning hair." At this time, an expert put forward the same opinion as Wu Bai.
"I could cut my hair less and make it thinner!"
Wang Chuanjun is very determined, this drama must be filmed well!
As long as it is a meaningful work, I want to perform it well!
······
After the patients in the ward went out for a walk, they came back and found that there were several more cameras and a new patient in the entire ward.
An elderly patient saw it at a glance.
He walked slowly and sat next to Wang Chuanjun.
"You're not really sick, are you? You just wanted to come here to act, right?" the old man asked.
"Although you have put on makeup and cut your hair a lot, it doesn't really look like you. I can still tell it at a glance!" the old man began to explain.
Wang Chuanjun was a little dissatisfied and rushed the old man to another hospital bed.
Lying on the hospital bed, Wang Chuanjun signaled that the camera could start filming.
Wang Chuanjun curled up on the hospital bed, trembling slightly.
"You can't act out the feeling of being terminally ill like us, so you should just go home and stay!" the old man said again.
Due to the interruption of the old man, the filming was forced to be terminated.
In fact, Wu Bai himself was not very satisfied.
Although Wang Chuanjun is his senior, Wu Bai strives for excellence in this film.
Wu Bai hurriedly walked to the ward and patted Wang Chuanjun: "This uncle is right, I still haven't performed the last feeling of life." Wu Bai lay on the hospital bed: "It seems that we have reached the end, and the future is very bleak.
There is no light in the eyes and no hope for the future.”
"That kind of gloomy feeling." Wu Bai looked sideways out of the window.
In fact, Wu Bai was afraid of seeing bad results during his annual physical examination before.
Because I often stay up late, I am afraid that I really have cancer every time I get the physical examination report.
Wu Bai imagined his family's helplessness when he got cancer. He still had many things to do, but he was about to leave this world at a young age.
Watching Wu Bai's performance, Wang Chuanjun himself felt heartbroken.
The uncle next to him was shocked: he seemed to have seen someone who was about to die.
Does this guy really have cancer?
Zhang Yimou and other staff members outside the camera were also in admiration.
Unexpectedly, Wu Bai at such a young age could actually interpret the feeling of an experienced actor who sees through life and death.
Then Wu Bai stood up and patted Wang Chuanjun: "Experience it for yourself."
Wang Chuanjun lowered his head in shame, indeed he did not perform as well as Wu Bai.
Wu Bai was worried that it would affect Wang Chuanjun's mood: "Actually, I have been thinking about it for a long time before I have such feelings. You are just a little bit close."
How could Wang Chuanjun not know that Wu Bai was trying to comfort himself? Everyone had witnessed the performance just now.
Understanding Wu Bai's expectations for him, Wang Chuanjun nodded: "I'll go back and imagine it again. Thank you, Wu Bai."
"It's a small thing, but you've actually done a good job!" Wu Bai admired Wang Chuanjun very much.
When filming started on the third day, everyone discovered that Wang Chuanjun didn't even come to the set.
Although there is no drama without him today, he was a model worker before.
I have to come to the set every day to discuss the plot with everyone.
Wu Bai asked around the staff, but everyone said they didn't know.
Wu Bai wondered, could it be that what he said yesterday was too harsh?
Is Wang Chuanjun angry?
I can’t think too much about it at this time, because what I’m filming today is Cao Bin’s scene.
For this reason, Wu Bai sent Zhou Yiwei to experience the working conditions of the police a few days ago.
Watch the police work process in the police station and observe their expressions and demeanor.
I have to say that Wu Bai's acting method has benefited these actors a lot.
By living and eating together, they can better reflect the daily life of these professions.
I can also better understand some of the things they say.
At the same time, everyone also discovered that Wu Bai's scripts are quite good!
The expressions and tones that different professions should have are all vividly reflected in the script.
Is this an experience that a young man can have?
Wu Bai always refreshes Zhang Yimou's understanding, which is truly formidable.
Wu Bai's script was written very realistically at that time, and the examples were very novel.
In addition, Liu Sihui only performed pole dancing for 20 seconds, and Wu Bai also attached great importance to it.
Wu Bai's serious attitude made Tan Zhuo dare not slack off and practiced pole dancing for a whole week!
His legs were covered with bruises, and his manager even told Wu Bai that Tan Zhuo practiced pole dancing until the soft tissue of his knees was damaged.
All the actors responded to Wu Bai's requests.
Everyone cares about this drama as if it were their own child.
Every minute and every second of the shot has a huge amount of effort behind it.
Yang Xinming, who knew no English at all, even recited a large number of English lines verbatim.
Zhang Yimou was very pleased. This was a condition he had not seen on set for many years.
Wu Bai used his hard work to completely turn the entire studio into a place for careful shooting.
Zhang Yimou said this more than once: "Wu Bai, I believe this movie will be a hit! You are a very qualified director, and I am very happy to work with you on this movie."
Wu Bai always smiles: "It's all the result of everyone's hard work. I'm also learning from you!"
