Su Ran was originally following her own emotions, but when she heard the singing, she recalled the days when she taught in that small mountain village. The villagers were grateful to her for bringing knowledge, joy and hope to the children, but they didn’t know that these innocent and lovely children were the hands that pulled her out of the quagmire, and the light that enabled her to maintain her original intention even in the darkness.
Recalling the day when she left the small mountain village, she saw the children crying, singing and chasing after the car.
My emotions instantly broke down and tears welled up in my eyes.
Director Jiang was watching from the monitor and quickly picked up the intercom: "Camera No. 2, capture a close-up of Bai Mei's hands, and camera No. 3, capture Bai Mei's facial expressions."
Su Ran's hands tightly grasped the cane, so tightly that the joints turned white and the veins bulged. Tears fell like beads that had broken off the string. She sniffed and looked up. There was a firm determination in her tearful eyes, a determination to fight against this unfair world.
"Ka!" Director Jiang stood up excitedly and clenched his fist: "Great, great, this scene is completely beyond my imagination."
All the staff members applauded and praised the actors for their wonderful performance.
Ning Xi hurried forward and wanted to support Su Ran, but Su Ran was hugged by Xiao Huan and the others who rushed over, and both adults and children were crying together.
Director Jiang was extremely moved: "This scene is really touching."
He felt that he called "cut" too early and should have filmed the scene as a behind-the-scenes footage.
Liu Mengting murmured, "Sister Su Ran is really amazing. She has aroused the emotions of the young actors."
Ye Dansha said: "Yes, she is very powerful."
In the past, she always refused to admit how good Su Ran was. She felt that an actor's performance depended on too many factors, such as the director's direction, the opponent's cooperation, etc. Now she had to admit that there were some people who were born for the screen.
After Su Ran and the children had released their emotions, Director Jiang stepped forward and said, "Su Ran, you've worked hard. Go and take a rest."
Su Ran wiped away her tears and nodded, then said to Xiao Huan: "You guys performed very well just now. Aunt Ning Xi will buy you some ice cream later."
"What Aunt Ning Xi, Sister Ning Xi?" Ning Xi corrected.
Calling her auntie makes her look old.
Su Ran smiled and said, "Teacher Su has another scene to shoot, so she has to go put on makeup first."
After Su Ran left, Director Jiang called Xiao Huan and the others over and asked, "Kids, whose idea was it to sing this song?"
Children, you look at me and I look at you.
Xiao Huan thought of what Teacher Su said about their great performance, so she boldly said, "It was everyone's idea."
It was a decision that everyone discussed together. The last time Teacher Su left, he was not able to finish listening to them singing the song, so they wanted to sing it again.
Director Jiang asked: "Then how did you come up with the idea of singing this song?"
"Because this song was taught to us by our teacher. She passed away last year, so we sang this song to send her off." Xiao Huan remembered Teacher Su's instructions to keep the secret.
It turned out to be the children’s personal experiences, no wonder they acted so naturally and movingly.
The filming of the crew went more and more smoothly. Under the leadership of Su Ran, every actor was very serious, and even Lin Ying's progress was visible to the naked eye. Lin Ying could be called one of the two big flowers of the Mesozoic era, not just because of packaging and hype. She still had her own strength, but she was used to being praised and became impatient. When she really calmed down, the effect came out. Of course, there was still a certain gap compared with Su Ran.
The crew waited for a few days and finally saw the heavy rain. It's not that the crew didn't have the money to make artificial rain, but the effect of artificial rain is still different from the real heavy rain.
The scene to be filmed today is also a major one. In fact, for the big screen, every scene is very important, but this scene is the most important one!
This scene is about Bai Mei going to the Education Bureau to find Lin Lin. She wants to return to the podium, but Lin Lin refuses to see her. Bai Mei waits for Lin Lin at the door of the Education Bureau. Today, she finally waits for Lin Lin who has just returned from a meeting in the city. Bai Mei stops Lin Lin's car. Lin Lin sits in the car and impatiently asks the security guard to drag the person out.
"Three games, two times, action."
Two security guards dragged Bai Mei out. Bai Mei desperately shouted: "Lin Lin, anyone can deprive me of the right to stand on the podium, but you can't. You can't do this to me..."
Bai Mei was thrown to the ground. A security guard threw a crutch next to her broken leg and said fiercely, "If you make trouble again, I will send you to the police station to eat jail food."
The security guard left, and Bai Mei lay on the wet ground, with the heavy rain pouring down on her head and face. Bai Mei dug her fingers into the ground and turned her head to look at the gate of the Education Bureau in the rain. Her eyes were full of red bloodshot, and her eyes were filled with grief and despair...
She sat up slowly and with difficulty, touched the crutch beside her, and tried to stand up, but the crutch slipped and she couldn't stand up and fell. She was stunned for a few seconds, suddenly threw the crutch away, hit her broken leg hard, and let out a hoarse roar.
Inside the awning, everyone watching the surveillance camera felt that the sorrowful roar was like a knife stabbing into their hearts.
For a moment, Director Jiang even forgot to say "cut".
"Director Jiang, Director Jiang." Ning Xi reminded.
"Ah?" Director Jiang came back to his senses.
"It's over, Director Jiang."
"Oh, click..." After Director Jiang shouted "click", Ning Xi rushed out holding an umbrella and a towel.
Director Jiang then realized that his face was wet.
This drama is really the most depressing and uncomfortable one he has ever filmed. Coupled with Su Ran's performance, the helplessness and grief of crying out to the sky and the earth for help but getting no response is so uncomfortable.
This scene is the only time in the entire play that Bai Mei, who has always been patient, releases her emotions hysterically, which is very impactful.
"Director Jiang, do you need one more take?" Su Ran came over and asked.
Director Jiang was still in the mood of the previous scene, and he looked a little depressed: "You don't need to shoot your scenes, let's reshoot Lin Lin's scenes."
"Director Jiang, if you're not satisfied, you can come again. It's okay." Su Ran saw that Director Jiang was unhappy and thought that maybe her acting was not good enough.
"Su Ran, it's done, just right, very good." Director Jiang said. When shooting Su Ran's scenes, he usually uses several cameras, close-ups, long shots, and moving shots, and tries to get it right in one take. It's not that he's afraid of Su Ran's hard work, but the smoothness of doing it in one go and in one shot is far beyond what the segmented shooting method can achieve.
Lin Ying wanted to reshoot, which made her very unconvinced. Her performance just now was also very good, why did she need to reshoot again.
Wang Wei said, "Just make up for it. It's hard work now. When the movie is released in the future, it's most important to get recognition. Don't forget, this movie is your comeback."
Lin Ying's mouth was raised high.
"By the way, I heard that Wanli has invited several media to visit the set. They will be here tomorrow. Please be careful about your words and actions."
"Tomorrow? Aren't we filming the mudslide scene tomorrow? Gu Yunchen really knows how to pick the time. He's inviting the media to build momentum for Su Ran!" Lin Ying said angrily.
