A group of actors left the hotel, followed by commercial vehicles and nanny vans forming a convoy on the avenue.
The power-on ceremony has been completed, and it is still early.
According to the plan, Chen Musheng is planning to finish the opening scene and a scene in the same scene today.
As for the two scenes this afternoon, one of them features Chu Xuan.
In other words, as one of the main actors, Chu Xuan has to take the lead in a scene today.
In one of the nanny cars in the motorcade, the five main actors and the director were sitting on both sides.
Chen Musheng said to Chu Xuan: "Chu Xuan, take down today's scene, and start the dinner tonight with extra dishes, roast suckling pig."
Hearing this, the actors laughed.
Xie Tingfeng patted Chu Xuan's shoulder and said, "Chu Tingfeng, it's up to you. I want to eat roast suckling pig."
Yang Caini was stunned for a moment and said: "Why is Chu Xuan called Chu Tingfeng?"
Chenglong pointed at Xie Tingfeng and said, "His name is Xie Xuan."
Yang Caini was stunned and said: "You two are so weird."
Liu Yifei covered her mouth and smiled.
Chu Xuan, Xie Tingfeng, and Chenglong also smiled.
Half an hour later, the motorcade stopped in front of a villa. The crew had already set up the set.
Everyone got out of the car and walked to the set.
"Are you all ready?" Chen Musheng asked the assistant director as he walked.
"Everything is ready and can start at any time." the assistant director responded.
Chen Musheng nodded and took the lead into the studio inside the villa.
Inside the scene, there were three actors waiting to be filmed, two big and one small.
Seeing Chen Musheng coming, Sun Cun and Lu Hui stood up from the sofa and smiled: "Director."
Sun Cun, a mainland actor, plays the role of Guan's father in the movie. He has previously played Sun Fang in "The Grand Parade" and Yuan Shikai in "Toward a Republic".
Lu Hui, a Xiangjiang actor, plays the role of Guan's mother in the movie. She previously played the Empress Dowager in "The Deer and the Cauldron" and also played Li Mochou in the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
There is also a young actor, about six or seven years old, who played Guan when he was a child.
Chu Xuan had met these three actors in the hotel. He smiled and said, "Teacher Sun, Teacher Lu, please forgive me if I make any mistakes in my acting later."
Sun Cun smiled and said: "You are too humble. You are definitely capable."
Lu Hui smiled and nodded: "That's right."
Chu Xuan kept smiling, touched the little actor's head again, and said, "Come on."
The young actor raised his head and looked at Chu Xuan and said, "You have to work hard too."
At this time, Chen Musheng said: "Then let's get started."
Sun Cun nodded.
Chen Musheng pointed at the young actor again and said with a gentle smile: "Play well, I will buy you some candies later."
"I want [the whole box]!" The young actor looked eager.
"Okay." Chen Musheng responded.
"Yeah!" the little actor jumped happily.
Everyone laughed.
Immediately, Sun Cun and the young actor stayed behind, and the others came to the viewfinder on the grass outside the villa.
Chen Musheng used Sun Cun's appearance as the opening scene. This scene can be regarded as the simplest scene.
"Click."
"Pass."
Hearing this, everyone on the set applauded.
Immediately afterwards, the main show began.
In the camera, the young actor was only wearing a pair of underpants, and his whole body was transformed by a makeup artist into a scarred appearance.
The young actor was forced to stand in front of the wall, facing the camera.
Sun Cun, who plays the father, is sitting on a chair in the back with an expressionless face. He is not at all worried about his son being severely beaten by him. This reflects his father's cruel methods in disciplining his son and his indifference to his son.
attitude of indifference.
This scene in the movie is [Guan]'s memory scene, and the purpose of this memory scene is to tell the audience that [Guan] grew up being abused and beaten as a child.
After "clicking" six times, the scene passed.
"This kid is very clever. His fearful and frightened eyes have the right expression." Chen Musheng said with a smile.
"The little actor they specially hired must have two skills." Chenglong crossed his arms.
Chen Musheng nodded, then raised his head to look at Chu Xuan and said: "Chu Xuan, the connection between the above and the below. The young actor did a good job in the 'connection'. The 'connection' scene is up to you."
"Brother Xuan, come on." Liu Yifei winked at Chu Xuan, and Liu Xiaoli looked at Chu Xuan with encouragement.
Xie Tingfeng and Yang Caini nodded slightly to Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan raised his hands and waved to everyone, and then walked into the set in the villa with Lu Hui.
As the assistant director explained the scene, Chu Xuan lay on his side on the bed, while Sun Cun and Lu Hui stood still in the living room.
The three of them took their places.
——The shooting begins.
[Guan Xuan], played by Chu Xuan, is sleeping on his side with his eyes closed in a bedroom with the door open.
In the living room, the sound of parents quarreling suddenly came from the living room.
Father: "Tell me! Where did you go last night? I'm looking for you everywhere!"
Mother: "I went to discuss business, what does it have to do with you?"
Father: "Hey! You are my wife and I can't even control you, so how can I control the police forces in Xiangjiang?"
Mother: "Ha! Who do you think you are? A waste!"
At this moment, Chu Xuan on the bed opened his eyes, just like waking up normally.
The sound of his parents' quarrels reached his ears. Chu Xuan's expression did not change and remained calm, as if he was accustomed to his parents' quarrels and was numb.
My father is the [Chief Superintendent of Hong Kong JB District], a very high official in the police system.
However, a person with such a status can't please his wife at all, and is often called a waste by his mother.
Because my father's position as Chief Superintendent was obtained by my mother's father and Guan's grandfather, who helped my father get this position.
Therefore, the mother looked down upon the father and did not take him seriously at all.
However, when a person is promoted from a police officer to a chief superintendent, his self-esteem will definitely become very strong.
When you are outside, everyone fawns over you, but when you are inside, your wife and family look down on you.
This strong sense of disparity made my father feel very unbalanced and he needed to vent.
However, he is the chief superintendent and has to maintain his image outside.
In this case, the only person to vent to is his son.
At this time, the quarrel in the living room suddenly stopped, and they probably broke up on bad terms.
Sun Cun walked into the bedroom with an angry look on his face, glanced at Chu Xuan lying on the bed, he couldn't help but pick up a pillow and threw it at Chu Xuan.
"stand up!"
"waste!"
Sun Cun's hands grabbed the collar of Chu Xuan's back and pulled Chu Xuan up.
During this process, Chu Xuan's expression did not change at all, it was calm and without struggle.
Chu Xuan's empty eyes expressed that he was used to everything he was experiencing now.
"Look what time it is now?"
“I know how to surf the Internet, spend money, and play games every day!”
The more Sun Cun talked, the angrier he became, and then he slapped Chu Xuan on the head with a "snap" sound. The corners of Chu Xuan's eyes wrinkled, and a look of physical pain flashed across his eyes.
"I am the Chief Superintendent, where do you want to put my face?"
After saying that, Sun Cun suddenly slapped Chu Xuan on the head.
"waste!"
Sun Cun slapped Chu Xuan on the head for the third time.
——In front of the viewfinder.
When everyone saw this scene, Chen Musheng chuckled and said: "These three blows are really hard, it hurts just looking at it."
Chenglong smiled and said: "Look at Chu Xuan's expression, he has been holding back, he is probably in pain to death."
Different from the normal communication between the two, when Liu Yifei saw this scene on the screen, she bit her lower lip, frowned, and her eyes were filled with distress.
Liu Xiaoli frowned slightly, watching Chu Xuan being beaten, and it was a real beating, without any excuses. She was considered Chu Xuan's elder, and she felt a little uncomfortable when she saw this scene.
As filming continued, the scene ended for the first time.
"Click!"
"Guarantee one."
"One more thing to protect..." Liu Yifei felt a little uncomfortable.
Yang Caini whispered beside her: "You have to get used to filming with big brother. Getting beaten is normal."
Liu Yifei shut up. When she saw Chu Xuan coming from the set, her face was full of concern.
Chu Xuan smiled at her, saying it was okay and reassured her.
However, what Chu Xuan said next surprised her.
"Brother, Director Chen, I think it's not enough."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Chenglong looked at Chu Xuan and said, "What's not enough? Is the fight not strong enough?"
Chu Xuan shook his head and said: "It's not the intensity, it's the method."
Chenglong became interested and said, "What do you have in mind?"
Chu Xuan thought for a moment and rubbed his head again. It did hurt a little.
Seeing this, Chenglong and Chen Musheng smiled.
"I think we can ask Teacher Sun Cun to slap me hard on the head three times, then add a fourth blow, push the side of my face with his hand, and smash my head against the wooden board at the head of the bed, so that my head hits the bed board.
"
Everyone was shocked when they heard Chu Xuan's words, and Liu Yifei stopped talking.
Even Chenglong's face was startled and he said, "Are you sure?"
Chen Musheng frowned and said: "Chu Xuan, what do you think? I want to know what you think."
Chu Xuan thought for a moment: "This memory scene is to let the audience see [Guan Xuan]'s childhood and the dark growth of the character. So, the harder I am beaten, the more sympathetic the audience will be?"
Chenglong and Chen Musheng nodded.
"I was beaten by my father. When my father left home, my father's interview would appear on the TV. At this time, I would get up from the bed and stare at my father with hatred, thus creating a feeling in the audience that I hate
Dad hates the emotion of the police, and this scene is like this according to the script."
Chu Xuan glanced at Chenglong and then at Chen Musheng.
"If you have any ideas, just tell me." Chenglong patted Chu Xuan on the arm.
Chu Xuan nodded and said: "I was wondering if I could change it. After I showed my hatred for my father, I smashed the TV with my father's picture on it with an axe, giving the audience a feeling that I want to kill my father.
Is it more intuitive to act like this? Will the emotions given to the audience be more direct? And the audience will also be afraid of me."
Chenglong and Chen Musheng looked at each other.
Chenglong thought for a moment and said: "I understand what you mean. The harder you are beaten, the more reasonable your behavior of smashing the TV will be, and the more it will be understood by the audience. At the same time, your behavior will
To make the audience feel scared because a son wants to kill his father is inherently rebellious and unacceptable. However, the harder you are beaten at the beginning, the more the audience will sympathize with you. So, from the initial sympathy for you to
Fear of you, the change of these two emotions and their natural occurrence one after another will make you look very sick."
"Yes." Chu Xuan nodded and said: "Guan Xuan is a sick person, and only sick people will kill policemen for fun. And this scene that recalls Guan Xuan's childhood scene is the only scene in the script, since
Only this scene serves as a foreshadowing for the morbid character of Guan Xuan, so I think the emotion should be given to the fullest, to the maximum. Within one minute, the audience must believe that I, Guan Xuan, have a reason to kill the policeman, even if this
The reason is morbid, but there is strong logic in it."
Hearing this, Chenglong lowered his eyebrows and considered it for a moment, then said to Chen Musheng: "What Chu Xuan said makes sense. According to his acting, the emotions given in it are indeed enough. Give it a try?"
Chen Musheng thought for a while, looked at Chu Xuan and said, "Chu Xuan, you can try it, but I only prepared one TV. If it can't be done in one go, then follow the script."
Chu Xuan stood up from the stool and said: "Thank you, Director Chen, for giving me the opportunity. I will try my best to make it happen."
Chen Musheng smiled and said: "You're welcome, like Chenglong, I like actors like you who dare to think and act, so go ahead."
Chu Xuan and Chenglong walked toward the set, and Chu Xuan gave Liu Yifei a vague smile.
Liu Yifei pursed her lips and looked at Chu Xuan with anger, understanding, worry, and helplessness in her eyes.
"Hey, Chu Tingfeng."
Xie Tingfeng called Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan turned to look at him.
Xie Tingfeng crossed his arms, smiled at Chu Xuan, and said, "The bed board is very hard, so be careful."
Saying that, Xie Tingfeng released one hand, gave a thumbs up and said: "You are a cruel person."
Hearing this, the people on the directing team raised their faces with smiles.
