Fang Jing did not tell the whole plan, but just gave a rough outline. The two chatted for a short time before leaving. He had to record a program tomorrow and had to go to bed early today.
Early the next morning, Fang Jing, Yan Yalun, Mingdao, and Li Xin were sitting in the rest area. After a while, Brother Chen Kai came over with a notebook and placed it in front of them, with a smile on his face.
"We're lucky. Our second appearance this time is against Guo Jingming's team."
It was luck to get second place in the lottery, and it was also luck to meet Guo Jingming. He was still bitter about losing a game last time, and he had been looking for a chance to avenge his shame, but he didn't expect to meet him again.
"Four blind men, I carefully selected the script, one for each of the four of you."
Brother Chen Kai had been thinking about this script as early as the last issue, and he has been writing scripts since then. The original script was not suitable for a few people to act.
"Blind people?" Yan Yalun was surprised, "There are still four. This is very difficult."
"Yes, it is indeed very difficult. This requires your cooperation." Brother Chen Kai said with a solemn expression, "If one of the four blind people acts in a scene that doesn't look like a blind person, and the audience sees it as fake, the whole scene will collapse."
Ming Dao smiled and said, "It's good to have difficulty. Only with difficulty can we reflect the strength of our group and defeat them overwhelmingly."
Seeing that Fang Jing was silent, Brother Chen Kai narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you confident?"
"Yes, but I think..."
"That's good." Before Fang Jing could finish speaking, Brother Chen Kai slapped the table, "Then I'll give you the role of Xiao Ma. You read the script first."
Four scripts, each with several pages, were all tucked into a book. Chen Kaige took them out and gave them to them.
"Pony is played by Fang Jing, Taihe is played by Yan Ya, Mingdao plays Sha Fuming, and the only female character, Duhong, can only be played by Li Xin."
Without reading the script, Fang Jing saw the dense pen writing on Brother Chen Kai's thick notebook and said with a smile: "Chen Dao, can you lend me this notebook?"
"You have very bad eyesight, take it. If you three are interested, you can take a look at it, although it's useless."
What was written in the notebook was nothing else but the design of the script for the four blind men. There were characters, emotions to be expressed, the characters' inner thoughts, the story's main structure, space setting, lines and other messy things.
There are a few sentences here and there that most people really can’t understand.
This is the first draft that Chen Kai wrote himself. He would write down some ideas and it would be over a dozen pages long. Everything in it had been absorbed into his mind. During the filming, he followed along and directed the actors.
That's why it's useless to say that Fang Jing and the others looked at him.
With the Living Buddha right in front of you, why are you pondering the sutras on your own?
"This is a good thing, how could it be useless?" Famous Dao felt like he had found a treasure, and he couldn't put it down while looking at the book.
Having this thing can save them a lot of time and make them more aware of the director's desire to express the thoughts and inner emotions of the characters.
Seeing the four of them looking at the book intently, Brother Chen Kai tapped the back of his finger on the table and said speechlessly: "Let's read it when we go back. Now let's get down to business. I'll tell you the script."
"The story is set in a massage center for the blind. The boss is Sha Fuming and the three employees are Hong, Taihe and Xiaoma."
"Both Sha Fuming and Xiao Ma like Du Hong, but Du Hong only likes Xiao Ma. Tai He is a chatterbox and is responsible for making jokes."
"Director Chen, are you starting to try this kind of plot?" Fang Jing chuckled and said, "He loves her, but she doesn't love him. She only loves her, but he has low self-esteem and doesn't love her a bit."
"In a different context, this is a campus youth idol drama. Director Guo next door is the best at this plot!"
"Shit!" Brother Chen Kai said with a dark face, "You compare me with that kind of subject matter? This is a plot carefully designed by me. Four blind people start with hatred and end with love."
Hearing Fang Jing comparing himself to Guo Jingming, Chen Kai was a little angry. What he was doing was art, how could he be the same as a movie with a rating of 3.0 or 4.0?
"Xiao Ma and Du Hong are blind after birth, Tai He and Sha Fuming are blind from birth. Blind people who have seen the light hate people more than those who have never seen the light."
"Hate is the foundation of pony's emotions, Fang Jing, when you act, please act it for me."
"Now let's rush to the set. Fang Jing and Li Xin, your scenes are in front. I'll give you an hour to memorize your lines. Yan Yalun and Ming Dao's scenes will be after four o'clock in the afternoon. You don't need to come now."
The Four Blind Men had the most scenes with Fang Jing and the least with Ming Dao. They were not filmed in order. Ming Dao could have gone back to sleep and come back again.
"It's okay, I'll follow you." Mingdao stood up with the script in hand.
Yan Yalun echoed, "Me too."
What can I do when I go back at this time? I can have a camera with Brother Chen Kai and learn something.
…
The five people left in a car and headed to the shooting location. The location was too big, so this time it was not at the sports center, but in an urban village.
All the furniture in the four-bedroom house was moved overnight and transformed into a massage center for the blind.
There is a bar in the living room with a telephone and a microphone. On the background wall are a few large green characters: Massage Center for the Blind.
There are several one-meter-wide single beds in the bedroom, covered with white towels.
Everyone put on a white coat and the shooting began.
Behind the monitor, Mingdao said to Yan Yalun: "I feel that our roles are a bit advantageous. We are both congenitally blind. It is easier to act as a blind person with our eyes closed."
"Fang Jing and Li Xin lost their sight the day after tomorrow. It's a bit difficult for them to open their eyes and pretend they can't see."
"Young people should practice more." Brother Chen Kai said with a smile: "Fang Jing is an explosive actor, capable of both softness and strength."
He had only watched Fang Jing's previous dramas, Operation Red Sea, and not the others. Later, after joining the team, he joined the cast of Swordsman, Lao Jiumen, Lost on the Road, and Operation Icebreaker.
Not to mention, Fang Jing's acting skills are really good, he can act as an evil eunuch, he can act as a stupid young man, he can act as a handsome guy, he can act as a tough guy.
Perhaps because of his high reputation and good scripts, he never sticks to one image when acting. He can play whatever he wants and challenge any character.
"Director, can we start?"
At the scene, at the corner passage, Fang Jing shouted to the camera.
"Okay, let's try to do this over and over again."
The content of this article is that Xiao Ma was wrongly accused of stealing money by a customer, and finally slapped himself hysterically.
"The actors are in place, let's begin!"
"I don't see five thousand yuan in my wallet. Did you take it?" The guest grabbed Xiao Ma and refused to let go.
"I didn't, what else do you want?" He threw it away and walked towards the back room, the guest followed closely.
"If you say it's not true, then it's not true. How can you prove it?"
"Crack!"
Shaking away the guest's hand again, Xiao Ma gave himself a slap and roared: "Is this okay?"
"Stop! Come and take a look." Brother Chen Kai said.
A slap on the face will leave a mark that won't go away for a while, making it difficult to take pictures later. That's why he said he had to go through it in one step.
"Fang Jing, since you shouted out those words, don't hesitate and just give yourself a slap."
"There is no one around, madness, the pain caused by blindness, and hatred, these are the reasons for the pony's outbreak."
