The filming of the crew is going on in full swing. Director Chen has strict requirements. They don't shoot in groups. He will personally check every scene. The scene being filmed today is a highlight. It is the scene where Gao Yuan, the captain of the special forces played by Shen Yifeng, comes back to see Chen Jin holding the urn of team member Xia Minglang. It is very difficult. Director Chen himself can't say how to act this scene. Let's see how Su Ran will perform first.
Actors who were not filming were also watching the scene, and they were very curious about how the two best actor and actress would perform in this major scene with only two lines.
Photography, lighting, and recording, each group was in their positions, waiting for Su Ran to get the mood right before starting work.
Gu Yunchen spent a few days sorting out the company's affairs before coming to visit the set, under the pretext of understanding the filming situation. As soon as he arrived at his residence and looked at the filming schedule, he saw that today was Su Ran's scene. Gu Yunchen put down his bag and rushed to the filming location without stopping, just in time for the filming to begin.
Su Ran sat quietly on the chair in the reception room, her eyes empty, like a petrified statue.
With a click, the door opened and a beam of light shone on Su Ran. Su Ran turned her head mechanically and slowly stood up, staring at the urn in Shen Yifeng's hand. Shen Yifeng walked towards Su Ran step by step with a heavy expression, and when he stood in front of Su Ran.
Su Ran's lips trembled, tears in her eyes, and she looked at Shen Yifeng with a pleading and desperate look: "Tell me, this is not him."
Shen Yifeng's eyes suddenly became moist. Unable to bear the tears in her eyes, he whispered hoarsely, "I'm sorry!"
After she said the three words "I'm sorry", the camera turned to Su Ran. Su Ran's tears instantly burst out, and big tears fell in strings.
She slowly stretched out her trembling hand, and paused when she was about to touch the urn. The contradiction of not wanting to face this cruel reality but having to face it was revealed through such a small detail.
Her hand finally touched the urn, and her trembling fingertips gently touched it. Then she carefully picked up the urn and kept stroking it, as if she was stroking the familiar face of her lover. Her tears flowed even more violently. She opened her mouth to cry, but no sound came out. Her whole body was shaking, and she was extremely sad...
The people watching at the scene were infected by her grief and couldn't help but shed tears. Following her rhythm, they felt a tightness in their chests and couldn't breathe.
Su Ran was sobbing silently that she couldn't even straighten her back. She held the urn tightly in her arms, as if she was holding her only treasure. Her fingers changed from stroking to digging into the urn tightly. She bent down little by little, and finally knelt on the ground. She was hunched up, her body trembling more violently, sobs rolling in her throat, and finally she let out a muffled wail...
This wailing sound was like a knife stabbing into the hearts of everyone present.
Director Chen shouted excitedly... Click!
"That's great, that's perfect." Director Chen was very excited. Su Ran's acting skills were simply amazing. She portrayed the emotion of sadness in distinct and progressive layers. She grasped every point just right, and handled the details in a way that was delicate, implicit, and full of tension, which touched people's hearts. This was exactly the feeling he wanted.
I didn’t expect that after Su Ran retired for three years, her acting skills not only did not deteriorate, but became even more sophisticated.
After the director gave a “cut”, everyone got rid of their sad mood. Even Ye Dansha, who had a strong opinion of Su Ran, admired her from the bottom of her heart. No wonder everyone said that Su Ran was the queen of tragedy. Her crying scenes were so touching.
Gu Yunchen didn’t know how to act, so he couldn’t see the essence of the scene. He only knew that he felt very uncomfortable after watching it. He truly felt the grief of Su Ran for losing her lover, and even wanted to rush up to comfort her.
Su Ran was too immersed in the role and was still trapped in sadness. She thought of the day when she hugged Instructor Han covered in blood, and thought that Instructor Han was dead. The pain as if her heart was dug out made her extremely scared and desperate. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether this was a play or reality.
Ning Xi went over to help her up, but after several attempts she failed to lift her up.
Shen Yifeng hurried to lend a hand. He understood Su Ran's current state. Because she was too involved, the emotions she released could not be taken back for a while. Acting in this kind of scene is not easier than fighting. That kind of scene is physically tiring, but this one is physically and mentally exhausted.
"Su Ran, it's okay, it's over." Shen Yifeng wanted to take the prop urn from her, but she held it tightly and he couldn't take it away.
Director Chen came over and said, "Ning Xi, quickly get her some hot water, slowly."
"I'll go." Someone said enthusiastically.
Director Chen looked back and was surprised: Why is it Mr. Gu? When did he come
"Where is the hot water? Get some hot water quickly." Gu Yunchen grabbed a staff member and asked.
Su Ran was helped to the dressing room and drank some hot water. She finally came to her senses, but she was still in a daze. After having devoted her whole heart and soul to it, it was not so easy to withdraw. She could not control herself freely yet.
Gu Yunchen was a little worried and asked Ning Xi in a low voice: "Is she okay like this?"
Ning Xi curled her lips: "It's okay, she will adjust."
"It turns out that acting is not easy." Gu Yunchen sighed.
"Of course, truly good actors are all crazy. They can't live without being crazy." Ning Xi said.
This situation is still mild. Su Ran had previously taken on a role with a split personality. For more than half a year, Su Ran was nervous and often talked to herself, which made her scared.
"Hey, why are you here?" Ning Xi just remembered to ask him.
Gu Yunchen said confidently: "I came to learn about the filming situation. Our Wanli Pictures is also planning to make a movie next, and will cooperate with foreign countries to make a blockbuster movie."
"Really? What movie? Is there a role suitable for our Su Ran?" Ning Xi's eyes lit up.
"It's a science fiction movie. There's a role for a female captain. The foreign director hopes to have a Yan Country actress play the role. If you're interested, you can give it a try."
"Really?" Ning Xi was very excited.
If she could take on this role, Su Ran would be entering the international market, and Fox has produced many classic science fiction films.
"It's just a minor role. I guess he won't have more than three lines." Su Ran said dimly.
"It's just to let Yan country actors show up in the film as a gimmick to gain more market share in Yan country. What's the significance of it? Is this considered entering the international market?"
"This certainly counts as entering the international arena. It's pretty impressive for Yan country actors to appear in international blockbusters," said Ning Xi.
Su Ran shook her head: "We only think we are awesome, who in the world would recognize you?"
"This is just the beginning!" Ning Xi felt that this was a good opportunity.
Su Ran said calmly, "It's not that our Yan Country has not produced good works. I think it's amazing that only Yan Country's directors, Yan Country's actors, and authentic Yan Country stories can go international and be recognized by everyone."
