Chapter 208 The performance needs to be in the play
After Huang Jue's role was completed, he left the crew the next day. Before leaving, he sent He Xin a text message, just two words: "Thank you!"
This is in line with his usual style.
During the more than half a month that he had been on the set, He Xin got along pretty well with him. On the one hand, it was of course because of Zhou Xun's face, but on the other hand, he also felt that he was a good person. Although he usually spoke well, at least he was not pretending.
At the same time, He Xin also took good care of him. No one in the crew deliberately tried to embarrass him. He lived in the five-star Huiquan Dynasty, ate and enjoyed the round-table treatment of the main creators.
So he definitely deserved the "thank you" from Huang Jue before leaving.
After that, most of the scenes were between him and Lin Jiaxin. Su Jin's scenes were relatively sporadic. They often filmed two scenes in two days and three scenes in four days. They had to follow the crew throughout the whole process. However, she was also free and easy, and often shot when there was no scene.
I’ll make an appointment with Cheng Hao to go shopping together, or go to the surrounding attractions.
During this period, E-Jian Cheng came over to work on the show for two days. Since the "Young and Dangerous" series, he has really become popular for a while, and then successively took over the filming of "The Heroes of the Storm", "Heroes of China", and "Tokyo Strategy"
, as well as popular films such as "The Battle at the Forbidden City".
But at this time, he has gradually begun to decline, and his lack of acting skills is a flaw!
Li Miaoxue is not a director who is good at training actors. She usually explains the script to the actors in detail before shooting, and then describes the artistic conception she wants. During filming, it is all up to the actors themselves.
Fortunately, the two leading actors she chose are one who is a Golden Horse Best Actor, and the other is a Golden Horse and Golden Horse Best Supporting Actress, both of whom are quite reliable in terms of acting understanding and acting skills.
On this day, the crew moved to a primary school at the foot of Laoshan Mountain for filming. Because in the play, Xiao Man's dead boyfriend Desen, played by Lin Jiaxin, once studied in this primary school and even buried a time capsule under the tree.
It was a rare sunny day. The sun was bright and the sky was clear. It was the same color as the blue sea in the distance.
He Xin took a shovel and helped Lin Jiaxin dig out a rusty biscuit barrel that Desen had buried under a pine tree twenty years ago. The lid was rusty, so he took a small shovel and opened the lid with great difficulty.
Lin Jiaxin took out the things from the bucket one by one with a look of joy on her face, including cars, postcards, black crosses...
"Hey, what kind of sports medal is this?" When she took out a medal and looked at it, she felt a little confused and asked.
But the moment she raised her head, she saw a pair of eyes full of pity, and she subconsciously froze!
"Cut!"
Li Miaoxue shouted with regret, but before she could speak, Li Jiaxin raised her hand to apologize and said, "I'm sorry, director, it's my problem."
In fact, when Lin Jiaxin was getting something just now, when the camera showed a close-up of He Xin's face, his expression was very subtle at that moment. He was obviously jealous at first, but then it was replaced by pity. He moved his lips slightly, but
He wanted to speak but stopped.
Li Miaoxue, who was staring at the monitor screen, was about to cheer secretly, but Lin Jiaxin dropped the ball at the critical moment, which made her feel very regretful. However, this shot was a five-minute long shot and had to be shot in one go.
"Jiaxin, do you want to make some adjustments?"
"Uh... okay, give me two minutes."
Lin Jiaxin replied, then looked at He Xin who was squatting opposite and his expression had already returned to normal, and complained with some complaint: "Why did you look at me like that just now? I was not prepared at all!"
"Do you still have to prepare for this? Sister, I liked you in the play. How do you think I would react when I see you obsessed with a dead man's relics?"
To be honest, He Xin felt a little unhappy at this time. Performance requires interaction between two people. Lin Jiaxin's performance just now was obviously on the surface, but the key point is that this is not her true level, but the result of her not being involved in the play. To put it harshly,
, just not serious and perfunctory.
If He Xin had talked to her like this in normal times, Lin Jiaxin would have choked back, but now she pondered for a moment and said sincerely: "I understand, I'm sorry!"
He Xin also slowed down and smiled at her: "It's okay!"
Shooting resumes.
"Car, postcard, black cross... Hey, what kind of sports medal is this?" Lin Jiaxin took out a medal and looked at it over and over again, then looked up with a smile and asked He Xindao.
"Uh, almighty, right?"
"Oh, the Almighty!"
Seeing her obsessed look, He Xin tried to divert her attention and said, "Actually, I also have my own time capsule."
Unfortunately, Lin Jiaxin seemed not to hear it, or pretended not to hear it, and was still immersed in her own world. She also took out a piece of paper from which was a diary written by Dessen.
She unfolded it and looked at it, with the corners of her mouth curved upwards in an exaggerated way, and her lips opened slightly, silently reading the childish words on it.
He Xin couldn't stand it anymore. His mood at this time was jealousy, pity, but more importantly, irritability. He didn't want to see a girl he liked so deeply stuck in the past, but he couldn't do anything about it.
He stood up and walked around anxiously, trying to attract the other person's attention, but it was still in vain.
The description of this scene in the script is very simple. Xiaolie suddenly felt sad when he saw Maner smiling and reading the first diary entry that Dessen had hidden in the time capsule.
And what Li Miaoxue asked of him was to act out this sadness.
How to act sad?
Some people may frown, pout, stare and use various emoticons to express their mental activities; others may yell and use exaggerated body language to show it.
He Xin's sadness was caused by weakness and anxiety, followed by the patience of being unable to speak.
But people are like this. When their patience reaches a certain limit, they will naturally do some unexpected things.
He put his hands in his pockets and walked to Lin Jiaxin. He saw her take out something like a certificate with a red cover from the biscuit barrel, and opened it with interest.
"Okay, that's almost it!"
At this moment, he couldn't bear it any longer. He stepped forward and snatched the things in Lin Jiaxin's hands, including the cars, crosses and the like that he had taken out before, and stuffed them all back into the biscuit barrel.
Lin Jiaxin was kneeling on the ground, obviously at a loss for his sudden rough movements.
"Hey, be careful!"
He Xin put the biscuit barrel back into the newly dug pit and said impatiently: "It has to be buried anyway, why be careful?"
He wanted to bury all Desen's belongings and pull this poor girl out of the mire of the past.
But Lin Jiaxin obviously didn't appreciate it. She raised her head and asked, "What do you mean?"
One more thing, their lines at this time were all improvised, and this scene was completely a self-expression performance.
He Xin ignored it, stood up and picked up the shovel. As the girl looked at the biscuit barrel that was gradually being submerged in soil, he quickly backfilled the soil and patted it down.
Then he put down his shovel, patted the dirt on his hands, and shouted, "Let's go!"
Lin Jiaxin, however, knelt and sat there without moving. She raised her head and said in confusion and anger: "Why are you getting up in such a weird way?"
"I think you're weird!"
He Xin turned around and looked at her with a fierce tone for the first time and said: "I like to find someone's past so much..."
He just stood up slowly facing the girl and kept looking at him, but he didn't dare to look at her, and his eyes began to avoid and drift subconsciously.
"I can think about my own affairs."
Seeing that the girl was still stubborn, he couldn't help but become irritated, and mustered up the courage to say: "I really can't imagine that you are boyfriend and girlfriend? You don't seem to know anything about him!"
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Jiaxin's reaction, she turned around angrily and walked towards the other end of the playground.
The camera looks like a girl's eyes staring at his back until he slowly walks away.
Lin Jiaxin, who was always in the picture, knelt down again, picked up a small shovel, and started digging into the pit that had just been backfilled.
The camera slowly pulled back, following her digging movements, zooming in, freezing, and taking a close-up.
In the picture, there was only the action of a hand holding a small shovel and digging away the soil. It was not until the rusty biscuit barrel reappeared in the camera that Li Miaoxue's excited voice was heard:
"Cut! Great! Passed!"
But Lin Jiaxin didn't seem to hear it and kept digging the soil. Huang Yuetai, who had been holding a camera to take pictures, saw this and quickly put down the machine, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, saying: "Karena, come on.
Okay, this scene is OK!"
"ah?"
Lin Jiaxin raised her head blankly, tears welling up in her eyes, and looked at Huang Yuetai intently.
It wasn't until Lao Huang nodded vigorously that she suddenly said "Wow" and threw herself into Lao Huang's arms and burst into tears.
With an embarrassed look on his face, Lao Huang could only pat his back gently and comfort him: "Okay, okay, it's all over."
