The scene we are going to shoot now shows the male protagonist living in a confused state in the capsule before meeting the heroine.
The living space of this capsule is very small. Lu Zhiyao is relatively tall. When sitting on the bed, the distance between his head and the ceiling is only a dozen centimeters.
The interior decoration of the entire capsule is in a very simple and technological style, with no unnecessary decoration.
Where there should be a TV screen, there is a large green screen, and the TV programs are all synthesized in post-production.
There are also some props for filming nearby, such as instant relief meals, potato chips, beer, etc.
Of course, these props are also customized. Take beer as an example. They use ready-made long-tube cans of beer and put some special stickers on the outside. On the one hand, it is to cover the original trademark, and on the other hand, it is to highlight it.
The setting of this worldview background.
In addition to the fictional beer trademark printed on the beer cans, there are also some colorful advertisements. This is because according to the setting of the script, advertising in this future world has become pervasive, and even beer cans are not immune.
Then, Lu Zhiyao lay down in the capsule and started shooting.
First, there are a few shots of him doing nothing in the capsule and watching TV commercials.
These scenes were relatively easy to shoot, and I didn’t have much to show for my acting skills, so I quickly passed them after taking a few shots.
Next, there is a scene of eating a relief meal.
There is a special dining area in the living capsule. Just opposite the bed, there is a small table for one person. There is a small screen on the wall next to the table and a dining outlet.
The small screen is also a green screen, and post-production special effects will be used to create a menu for ordering food. When there is no order, this small screen will play advertisements for various foods in a loop.
The content of this scene is also very simple. It's time to eat. The male protagonist receives today's relief meal here and eats the relief meal while watching the advertisements of various delicacies that are played in a loop on the small screen for ordering.
A miserable word.
Lu Zhiyao sat down at the small dining table and looked at the food outlet blankly.
Because whether it is watching commercials or receiving relief meals, it is already a routine at a fixed time every day, and there are no expectations at all. Lu Zhiyao has to perform this feeling of no expectations.
With a "click", the food outlet opened, and a tray-like object that seemed to be well packaged and well-presented fell out of the food outlet and fell on the dining table.
Lu Zhiyao expressionlessly tore off the seal made of something similar to tinfoil, revealing the black and white powder inside.
Pei Qian asked in a low voice: "What's in here?"
Zhu Xiaoce replied in a low voice: "Milk powder and chocolate powder."
Pei Qian nodded: "Not bad."
At least this thing can be eaten, and it seems that there is no need to pay more for Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao took the tray, reached to the water outlet next to it, took the warm water, and then mixed it evenly with the small spoon provided on the tray.
Of course, the whole process was still confusing and without any expectations.
Then, he picked up the spoon and started feeding it into his mouth one spoonful at a time.
While eating, Lu Zhiyao continued to stare at the small screen next to him.
Although it is a green screen now, the special effects in the later stage will be used to create all kinds of cool food advertisements.
Lu Zhiyao looked at the green screen, his eyes had to change to show his yearning and expectation for these delicacies, and he also had to make some subconscious little movements, such as swallowing saliva, licking his lips and so on.
"Card!"
"The expression just now was a bit too strong. According to the plot, you should watch these advertisements every day, so there is no need for such a big reaction, just show some instinctive reactions to food."
“Overall, it’s great, ok, here’s another one!”
Director Zhu Xiaoce will point out anything inappropriate when he sees it, and Lu Zhiyao also tries his best to cooperate.
After taking a few shots, this scene passed.
Pei Qian sighed silently on the side, "Is Lu Zhiyao's acting skills okay?"
It feels like he was holding his breath when he participated in "Better Tomorrow" this time.
Lu Zhiyao has always been called "box office poison" before. Although his acting skills are not bad, he is inevitably criticized by the audience.
The most common criticism is that he is too handsome, not down to earth, uses too much force in his acting, and makes people look bad, etc.
But this time, Lu Zhiyao was indeed playing the role of a decadent person very seriously.
Although he is very handsome and his decadent state is not that miserable, this feeling of decadence is indeed shown.
Things started to get busy and we continued to prepare for the next scene.
Zhu Xiaoce said to Pei Qian: "Mr. Pei, what comes next is the highlight."
Pei Qian: "Huh?"
Zhu Xiaoce pointed to the cans of beer over there: "There is a close-up of drinking beer next."
"The plot is that the male protagonist won a lot of betting coins by participating in a quiz on a TV show, so he rewarded himself with a can of beer."
"In order to perform this plot well, Lu Zhiyao has not drank beer since the day he came to Jingzhou."
"I usually drink very little water, and I drink some very unpleasant drinks, such as black pine root beer, red snake grass water, and western tree roots..."
"Just to be able to perform that impressive acting while drinking this beer."
Pei Qian: "...There's no need to work so hard, right? These drinks are for people to drink? It's just a filming, there is no need to risk your life..."
Director Zhu Xiaoce smiled: "In other words, this is the self-cultivation of a qualified actor. Even Mr. Zhang Zuting was full of praise for Lu Zhiyao's acting attitude."
Pei Qian: "..."
You really don’t have to work so hard!
By then, if we create a classic lens that can be trending, wouldn’t it be a big deal?
However, Pei Qian now doesn't know how Lu Zhiyao is going to act, so he can only watch silently from the side, maintaining a high alert state.
At the beginning of this scene, Lu Zhiyao first performed the whole process of winning the prize in front of the green screen.
From the anxiety when waiting for the results of the TV show, to the carnival alone in the capsule after learning about a small profit, to the anticipation of coming to the dining area to buy a can of beer.
After shooting two or three scenes, it was the turn to shoot the beer drinking scene.
Lu Zhiyao came to the small screen next to the food outlet and pretended to operate in front of the green screen. He did not forget to add to the drama on his face: the joyful smile of making money through betting was still on his face, and then in this smile
There is also a hint of anticipation of drinking beer, coupled with some small movements of subconsciously licking the lips...
Pei Qian, who was next to Zhu Xiaoce, clearly saw a series of micro-expressions on Lu Zhiyao. At this time, he felt a little nostalgic for Xiao Xianrou, who would only shout 1234567 when filming a movie.
With a "pop" sound, a can of beer fell out of the dining outlet.
Lu Zhiyao immediately grabbed it excitedly, and he could still see a few water drops hanging on the slightly cold beer. He opened the can with a "bang", and then raised his head, tons, tons, tons, tons...
After drinking more than half of the can, Lu Zhiyao stopped. He was very happy and let out a sigh of satisfaction. He looked at the can of beer in his hand with a satisfied look on his face.
Wiping the foam from the corner of his mouth, Lu Zhiyao raised his head again with some unfinished thoughts and drank the remaining half of the can of beer in one gulp. He kept pouring it into his mouth until the can was empty, as if he didn't want to let it go.
Any drop.
Finally, Lu Zhiyao reluctantly threw the empty beer can into the garbage, wiped his mouth, burped with contentment, then returned to the bed and began to lie down.
This wine burp happened very naturally. It was probably not planned. It was entirely because Lu Zhiyao drank too hard and it came out just right.
"stop!"
Theoretically, you should shout "stop", but this "stop" was shouted by Mr. Pei, so Director Zhu Xiaoce quickly added "stop", and then looked at Pei Qian very seriously.
"Mr. Pei, is there anything wrong with your performance?"
Zhu Xiaoce knew very well that Mr. Pei was not only the financier of the film, but also the original author of the script.
If Mr. Pei has opinions on some plots in this movie, it must mean that the plot deviates from the original intention of Mr. Pei's work, and the opinions of the original work must be respected and modifications must be made.
Pei Qian was a little helpless.
Brother, you work too hard!
You just drank a can of beer, and your expression is even more exaggerated than that of a Chinese young master!
All that's needed is a "Great Wall of China" BGM, then the special effects of golden light filling the sky, and some sea and sky backgrounds...
Pei Qian had even foreseen that the trending topic #LuZhiyaoDrinkBeer would appear on Weibo on the day the movie was released.
Pei Qian coughed twice: "It's really not necessary, just act more normally..."
"The male lead is just a salty fish. It's best if you act like a salty fish."
Lu Zhiyao looked confused: "Ah?"
He was very confident in his acting skills. He originally thought that the scene just now would be enough to be recorded in film history, but it did not impress the original author of the script.
this……
He had no choice but to look at Director Zhu Xiaoce.
Director Zhu Xiaoce pondered for a moment: "I didn't think so at first, but after Mr. Pei said this... I also feel like I used too much force. What do you think, Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Zuting nodded: "Mr. Pei is indeed the original author, and he has very good control over this story and this character."
"Maybe what Mr. Pei said is very popular, but I can understand the general meaning of what he wants to express."
Pei Qian: "?"
It seems that the development of the situation is somewhat unexpected...
Zhang Zuting looked at Lu Zhiyao and said earnestly: "Suppose we change the background of this scene."
"You are playing the role of a hard worker who has to work eighteen hours a day. You can only drink one can of beer after working hard for a month. There are no other entertainment activities around. Beer is the highest enjoyment..."
"Then your performance is up to standard and will be very contagious."
"But the character you are playing now is a confused ordinary person in the future world."
"Is he only allowed one beer a month? Obviously not."
"Is there no higher enjoyment around him? No."
"The small screen next to it will constantly play advertisements for other food and wine. Compared with those advertisements, the enjoyment brought by this can of beer is insignificant."
"The male protagonist made money playing TV quizzes, so he rewarded himself with a can of beer. In other words, as long as he wants to buy it, he can buy it at any time and just spend his deposit."
