Because of the importance of the night show, the crew deliberately moved the dinner time to five o'clock. As soon as the dinner was over, everyone was caught in a tense and busy preparation process.
Ji Li sat in the lounge, staring at the contents of the script with a serious expression.
On the first day of filming, it was the main character scene, and it would be a lie to say that I have no pressure.
The plot of this drama is heavy—
Xiang Suian actually lives in a remarried family. Back then, Xiang's mother brought him to marry his current husband when he was only ten years old.
On the outside, the stepfather is a gentle and gentle man, wearing a pair of square-frame glasses, and always smiling when he meets people outside.
At the beginning, Xiang's mother agreed to marry him because she liked his easy-going.
As a result, the good times didn't last long. His stepfather lost his job after marriage. His career was frustrated and he didn't think about making progress, and became a downright alcoholic.
He not only loves to drink, but also drinks very fiercely. He ignored Xiang's mother's earnest persuasion. Once after drinking, he lost control and beat Xiang's mother and Xiang Suian.
And this is the beginning of the bad luck for the mother and son.
In the past eight years, the stepfather has intensified, and the tendency of domestic violence has become more and more serious. Xiang's mother resisted and struggled at the beginning, then escaped and begged for mercy in the middle, and finally became paralyzed and desperate.
The neighbors all know about this, but as outsiders, they can persuade them once or twice, but they can't persuade them a hundred times and a thousand times.
On the evening of the beginning of the third year of high school, Xiang Suian had just returned home when he saw a familiar and numb scene—the stepfather bound Xiang’s mother with a string like an animal, and lashed her violently with a belt in his hand.
…
In this scene, it is natural to film Xiang's mother and son's reaction, and the most difficult part of it is that Ji Li has to play the same character on two timelines.
The first timeline is Xiang Suian who has not experienced reincarnation.
The second timeline is Xiang Suian who has gone through countless similar reincarnations.
One can imagine the difficulty of conforming to the character's personality and interpreting a completely different state of mind.
There was a knock on the door.
Baozi walked in from the outside, and said cautiously, "Brother Ji, Director Wang called you over to audition."
He knew that Ji Li was brewing his emotions alone in the lounge, and he was afraid that it would affect his state of immersion during the silent play.
Ji Li put down the script full of notes and walked out calmly.
The play is already in my heart, so there is no need to take the script too much.
In the private houses along the river, the crew has arranged the 'domestic violence' scene properly.
The actor who played Xiang's mother used to be Song Xingchen, the best actress of the Baixiang Awards. This time she came to play a special role because of Qin Li's invitation.
Qin Li's thoughts were very clear.
Now that this project has been spotted, it should be regarded as an important movie, and more old drama actors will be invited to make guest appearances, so that the later promotional campaign will be able to create an extra gimmick.
Under the leadership of Yu Fuya, Ji Li politely greeted her on the sofa, "Mr. Song, hello, I'm Xiang Suian's actor, Ji Li."
"An'an, have you eaten yet?" Song Xing smiled, and directly called out the name in the play.
This is where the veteran actors shine. As long as they accept the script, the outside is the inside.
Ji Li was surprised for a moment, and then burst into a restrained and well-behaved smile belonging to 'Xiang Suian', "I have eaten."
Song Xing smiled lightly, obviously he had a good impression of this calm and good-looking young junior.
Qin Li looked at the interaction between the two, and the corner of his mouth twitched briefly.
In fact, he had selfish intentions in inviting Song Xingchen.
The other party is recognized as a powerful actress, and her acting works since her debut have been well received, especially among the young and middle-aged generation, who have a high degree of recognition for her.
There was a survey at the beginning, as long as it was a movie starring Song Xingchen, 90% of the audience said that they would go to the theater to watch it.
This time Ji Li and Song Xingchen are acting together, as long as he plays stably like before, he will be able to reap a wave of affirmation along with the latter's reputation after the movie is released.
Qin Li is secretly paving the way for the youth in his own way, as to whether it will work or not, it still depends on the latter's own performance.
In order to match the plot, Song Xingshen's exposed skin was painted with many bruises and red marks, and there was a long bloody hole on his forehead, which was very realistic.
The stepfather was played by Wei Guofu, an old drama player. As soon as he appeared on the set, Baozi shuddered subconsciously.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Ji, Mr. Wei acted in an urban drama back then, and his domestic violence man was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." Baozi said in a low voice, "When I saw him, I remembered that character."
Some actors can make the audience remember for a long time with just one role.
Wei Guofu's temperament is actually very easy to get along with, as soon as he came in, he greeted everyone with a smile.
Seeing that the preparations for the scene have been completed, Wang Zhang said, "Okay, it's almost time for the show."
The "family of three" in the play quickly entered the role state.
Undoubtedly, the focus of this scene is Xiang Suian played by Ji Li.
After researching by Wang Zhang and the filming team, they planned to adopt a one-shot shooting mode, and there is no fixed point of changing camera positions, which means that the actors cannot make mistakes throughout the process, otherwise they will have to overthrow everything and start over.
The interpretation of the scenes was originally difficult, and this even more difficult shooting mode was adopted, which further tested Ji Li.
Everyone walked through the scene several times before confirming the detailed status of each camera position.
Before the shooting started, Ji Li took the initiative to walk to Wei Guofu's side, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Mr. Wei, wait a while for the official shooting. You can use a little more strength for the part where you whipped me with the belt. The camera should appear More realistic."
After hearing this in surprise, Wei Guofu asked back, "Are you sure? The belt must be tightened, otherwise it will really hurt when you pull it on."
Ji Li nodded and insisted on his own thoughts, "Don't worry, I'm young and can bear it. As an actor, for the sake of the movie effect, it's right to sacrifice a little bit."
Wei Guofu pushed his glasses and responded with a low smile.
Ji Li received his reply, nodded to him politely, and then walked quickly to the door to prepare to go.
Wei Guofu stared at his back, a flash of praise flashed in his heart—
It's rare these days that there are still young people who are not afraid of hardships, but they just don't know if they can still perform this kind of energy in the official filming later
Ji Li stood still in the alley, directly in front of him was the moving host. He closed his eyes, put away all distracting thoughts in his mind, and waited silently for the sound of starting up.
After about thirty seconds, the sound of hitting the board sounded.
Ji Li opened his eyes and walked towards the house calmly.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he heard suppressed sobs from inside the house, the man's yelling mixed with the sound of whipping, which made his heart beat.
Ji Li's slightly raised lips were stretched into a straight line in an instant, and he grabbed the strap of the schoolbag forcefully, the knuckles were clearly visible with white marks.
—Didn’t there just be a commotion last weekend? Why did it start again
Ji Li's chest rose and fell for a moment, and he walked in quickly, "Mom, Uncle Li, I'm back."
The sound of pushing the door came hard, but the words that came out fell into the dust.
Ji Li's eyes drooped slightly, and he saw the mess on the floor. The dining table had been overturned, and all the soup and vegetables were scattered all over the floor.
The woman's hands and feet were roughly tied up with string, and there were marks of belt bruises all over her body. The most serious thing was her forehead, which was torn and bloody.
Ji Li stood quietly on the spot, and as long as he looked closely at the camera, he could notice the line of his jaw quietly tightening, obviously suppressed and forbearing to the extreme.
With his arrival, the cruel air in the room finally loosened a bit.
The scene changed, and the red-faced stepfather threw the belt on Xiang's mother, and sat drunkenly on the sofa, panting heavily.
Xiang Mu, played by Song Xingshen, raised her head with difficulty, revealing her painful face soaked in blood.
She tremblingly raised a smile that was uglier than crying, "...An'an, mom is fine, you, you go in first."
Lock the door, close the windows, and don't come out if you hear anything.
Hearing the familiar opening words, Xiang Sui'an took a deep breath.
"An'an..." Xiangmu's voice was extremely weak, implying unspeakable haste, "Be good, be obedient."
They all knew that a new round of beatings by men would soon begin.
Better to be beaten alone than to be injured together.
A mother who can't even protect herself is guarding her child in the most humble way.
Xiang Suian met Xiangmu's pleading eyes, the mist in his eyes flashed away, and the tiptoes that had just been lifted out were retracted without a trace.
He turned sideways mechanically and walked stiffly back to his room.
Close the door, lock it, close the windows.
A series of actions, according to what Xiangmu hoped, was standard like a walking dead.
Outside the house, another round of beating and scolding sounded from the man.
Mother Xiang's sobs were intermittent and very slight. It was the sound she made when she bit the towel desperately, just to prevent the neighbors from hearing the noise and came to persuade the fight.
Because after the neighbor's "well-intentioned but short-lived" persuasion, their mother and son will face a more painful night.
Xiang Suian sat on the seat, took out his test paper with no expression on his face, and pressed the warped page with his palm again and again.
The palms pressed and rubbed harder and harder until the fragile paper surface was torn apart suddenly.
— patter.
On the neat test paper, a big tear burst suddenly, blurring the rough printing.
The camera pans up slowly, and freezes on those eyes that are flushed with patience.
Tears accumulated in Ji Li's eye sockets, and there was bottomless despair in the dark eyes, his teeth pressed against his fist joints, and his whole body was trembling violently—
Is there anyone who can help them? !
Can anyone see their desperation? !
No matter the neighbors or the police, no one has ever been able to save them.
They resisted, got even worse beatings, and they escaped, but the man appeared like a ghost, dragging them back to hell every minute.
Until now, it seems that even death has become a luxury.
…
In front of the camera, the young man's heart-wrenching silent cry resonated through the monitor screen to everyone present, making everyone ignore the surrounding environment and worry with him.
Feng Cheng and Wei Lai looked at each other, completely shocked by the young man's acting skills.
powerful!
It is too strong!
Obviously there is not a single line, but Ji Li is able to portray the character's heart vividly in his own way.
Filming continues—
Song Xingshen and Wei Guofu, two veteran actors, play together, creating a lot of tension.
The cruel picture of a man with a hideous face and a woman begging for mercy, one strong and one weak, directly hit the moral bottom line of the onlookers.
If they didn't know they were acting, someone would rush up and beat up the scumbag right now.
Just as he was thinking, the door of the room was knocked open.
Xiang Suian, played by Ji Li, couldn't bear it anymore and rushed back to the living room. He tried his best to push the man away and shouted, "Get out! Don't touch my mother!"
The stepfather fell on the ground covered with soup and vegetable dregs. He was stunned for a few seconds before he got up and kicked furiously at the boy who was struggling to untie the rope.
"Damn it, little brat! How dare you push me?"
"Your mother is a slut, and you are a slut too! Give it to me!"
Xiang Suian's back was kicked violently by the man, and the veins on his forehead suddenly appeared due to the severe pain. He gritted his teeth and got up, quickly covering Xiang's mother with his thin body.
He looked up at his hateful stepfather, his body tensed to the point of trembling, like a dying cub protecting his precious thing, "...I don't allow you to hit her! No!"
"You are not allowed to hit her?"
The man put the belt head on his palm and closed it, and stared at the young man with murderous intent, "Okay! Then I will kill you first!"
The image of the "domestic violence scumbag" created by Wei Guofu is too strong, so strong that even if it is just acting, it makes people fear and hate.
The staff at the scene were shuddered by his behavior, and their whole hearts were on Ji Li.
The waving belt fell down again and again, which made people tremble with fear.
Ji Li gritted his teeth and held on tightly, without making the slightest subdued cry of pain, and tightened the arm protecting his mother bit by bit.
Can't!
Don't hurt her!
I will never let you hurt her again!
Song Xingchen felt the strong emotion conveyed by the young man, and the tip of his nose felt sore from his heart.
After holding back for a long time, Xiang's mother finally broke down, unable to stretch out her hand and begged, "Don't hit the child, Lao Li, I beg you not to hit the child..."
"I was wrong, I was wrong, please don't hit me..."
"Help, An'an, who can come... help my An'an!"
Painful begging for mercy was drowned out in the night.
Suddenly, a small photo fell out of the pocket of the school uniform jacket.
Ji Li's eyes drifted away for a moment before falling back to the ground—
It was a group photo of a family of three taken by Xiang's father when he was alive. When he was young, he was happily nestled in his father's arms, and Xiang's mother snuggled up to her husband, caressing the child's tender face with one hand.
At that time, my father's embrace was very warm, and my mother's touch was very gentle.
He has no fear, no pain.
The camera slowly zoomed in, and the tears that the young man had accumulated for a long time finally fell. He reached out tremblingly and hooked the corner of the photo with his fingertips.
The light in the eyes faded away a little bit, and the corner of the bleeding mouth curled up——
Dad, if I die, you will come to pick me up, right
The boy's tense body suddenly lost strength, and he completely fainted on the ground.
…
This game should end here.
The entire set was quiet, and everyone's hearts were hanging in one piece.
Song Xingchen looked at the young man who fell to the ground, and in a daze for a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was inside or outside the play.
Her emotions were still out, and the tears couldn't stop bursting.
"An'an?"
Song Xingchen stretched out his hand and probed the young man's breath. After confirming that the remaining warmth was still there, his body collapsed.
Wang Zhang got the scene he wanted, raised his voice and shouted 'ka', and completely took everyone away from the plot.
Yu Fuya couldn't bear it anymore, and ran up immediately, "Ji Li?"
At this moment, she finally knew what it was like to be a mother.
She clearly knew that the other party was acting, but when she saw Wei Guofu 'slapping' him with a belt, she almost couldn't hold back and went up and kicked the man's lifeblood!
If you want her to say, Xiang's mother is too cowardly to lead to this unfortunate life, and she also suffers with Xiang Suian!
With Yu Fuya's support, Ji Li quickly got up from the ground.
"Brother Ji, hurry up and drink some hot water." Baozi came up and handed him the hot water that had been poured in advance.
It's cold in early winter, so I can't buy ice cream for Brother Ji, lest I hurt my stomach.
Ji Li's costume was still a thin jacket, and he was freezing after lying on the ground for so long. He quickly took two sips of hot water, and then looked at Song Xingchen who was surrounded by assistants.
"Ms. Song, did I pull too hard in the play just now? Are you okay?"
Song Xingchen, who hadn't fully played yet, felt warm and astringent when he heard the concern. She stepped forward, patted Ji Li's red face, and said softly, "I'm fine, but you..."
She looked at Wei Guofu at the side, trying to play down the heaviness of the play with a joking tone, "Did old Wei hurt you just now?"
Ji Li didn't care about the little pain at all, "No, Teacher Wei has controlled his strength very well."
Wei Guofu patted him on the shoulder and said, "You young man, you have good tenacity."
Song Xingshen nodded with a smile, and made no secret of his praise for his 'son', "The play is not bad, either."
In front of everyone, the two veteran actors kept praising Ji Li, obviously they liked him as a new junior actor.
Seeing this scene, all the staff present felt that it was reasonable—
They are all watching youth with a 'role filter' now, who doesn't like such a person with excellent acting skills and a humble attitude
Wang Zhang outside the venue picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, "Come over and watch the replay?"
The three are all actors who are strict with the play. After hearing this, they immediately set off.
Feng Cheng, who had been watching on the set, sighed sincerely, "I'm suddenly very stressed, but also very motivated, how about you?"
Wei Lai nodded empathetically, "Go back and study the script carefully. After a while, our role in the main scene can't be much worse than him."
The two looked at each other and smiled in unison.
When Qin Li, who was passing by, heard this, his eyes flickered in agreement.
A good crew environment should be like this now.
Even if there is comparison among fellow actors, it must be benign and upward.
Young people focus on their roles, and invisibly become the driving force for others to move forward. This is the charm of a good actor.
…
When Qi An found Qin Li, he was standing on the bank of the river with a burning cigarette in his hand.
The man's face was submerged in the pitch-black night, only the agility that was burning with misty smoke brought a bit of loneliness.
Qi An approached and asked, "Why are you smoking?"
"Wang Zhang gave it to me, and I took it with me to relieve my fatigue." Qin Li's fingertips flicked away the cigarette ash beautifully. He looked at the swaying river and spoke slowly.
"Qi An, when I was filming "Tianxia Bangguo", I actually had the idea of retiring after filming."
Qi An chuckled and took out the cigarette he carried with him, and lit one with the help of his friend's spark, "I know, I have worked with you for so many years, and it is your manager in name, I can't tell ?"
It took Qin Li ten years to become an unshakable figure in the entertainment industry.
Everyone is swearing that no one can break Qin Li's record of becoming a god, even they themselves think so.
But no matter how powerful a character is, there will be a day when he gets tired of it.
The family background behind Qin Li is far stronger than others imagined. Even if he is not in the entertainment industry, he can still make some impressive achievements in other circles.
Originally, he thought about starting in another field, but now, this idea has been completely dismissed.
Qi An took a drag on his cigarette, and asked with a smile, "If there is a Ji Li in this entertainment circle, wouldn't it be interesting?"
Qin Li hooked his lips inadvertently, "He is the only person who can bring me into the play so far."
This situation does not only exist when two people play together.
Just now, from the perspective of a bystander, Qin Li's emotions would fluctuate with the young man's performance.
This feeling is very novel, and it even makes him taste the marrow.
Qin Li didn't want to quit the circle and left.
He wanted to occupy the top position in this circle, and wanted to watch Ji Li, a star who was destined to be dazzling, climb to the position beside him.
Qi An smiled and said nothing, and only reminded after the cigarettes in both hands were burned out.
"It's past 7:30, should we catch the plane?"
"Change the sign, I want to see him finish the last play tonight."
Qi An got the expected answer and hummed, "Okay."
…
The time moved to eight o'clock, but the busyness of the set did not end, everyone was waiting for the last scene of tonight—
The scene of "domestic violence" is exactly the same, and Ji Li will play Xiang Suian who has been reincarnated many times.
Wang Zhang's directing style is external, he will not ask the actors to perform according to his standards, but will set a circle of "free interpretation" for them, and play freely according to the characteristics of the characters.
In Wang Zhang's view, the core of creating characters is the actors, not their directors or other people.
Therefore, in the following scene, except for a few necessary camera positions, he gave Ji Li the greatest degree of freedom for other shooting content.
In the lounge, Ji Li and screenwriter Mu Wang are talking about something.
Ten minutes later, the two came back one after the other.
Seeing Ji Li's figure, Wang Zhang asked straight to the point, "Xiao Ji, are you ready?"
Ji Li nodded without saying a word, and walked to the initial shooting position.
The technique of taking one shot to the end is also adopted, but this time, the crew pays more attention to Ji Li's on-the-spot performance and the cooperation of experienced cameramen.
everything's ready.
In the anticipation of all the staff on the set, the last scene tonight finally started.
