I Really Can’t Act

Views:

Mei Zihan cheered herself up and bravely stood opposite Rick.

Because the rental time negotiated with the Tourism Bureau is about to expire, the finale of the movie will be filmed ahead of schedule in these two days. In the second half of the movie, the female advocate Xuemei is thrown into the war, which is completely different from before, and most of the rest is the rivalry between the doctor and Li Xingye.

"You two, get ready. Let's do this part for the first time to find out how it feels." The director knew that it was impossible to go through this part once, so he set aside an afternoon to shoot this quite Important scene.

"Director, wait a minute, I'll drink some water first." Mei Zihan drank a bottle of mineral water from his assistant.

"Okay, director, I'm ready." Mei Zihan took a deep breath, nodded slightly to Rick, "Please give me your advice."

Rick smiled at Mei Zihan, "Please advise me too."

————————

This scene is a bit special, because Li Xingye has almost no lines in this three-minute scene, and can only use simple expressions and movements to complete this part of the performance.

When the doctor was going out, he accidentally heard the news that Li Xingye was talking to the Japanese, but because they were all in Japanese, the doctor couldn't hear them clearly, and just remembered some key words.

Because the doctor eavesdropped, he didn't see the person's true face, but judging from his figure and clothing, he was very similar to Li Xingye.

The same Li Xingye has also received news that the doctor may have heard their conversation, but it is impossible for Li Xingye to ask someone to kill the doctor. Although the doctor did not leave with the people from the embassy, his foreigner status still made them Very jealous.

In order not to arouse the doctor's suspicion, Li Xingye had no choice but to eat and drink all night, so that his throat became inflamed when he caught a cold, and he pretended to be unable to speak, so that the doctor could not use his voice to judge who he was.

"Doctor, my boss is sick, and he is still in bed, unable to say a word. I heard that your medical skills are superb. If possible, I hope you can help my boss." The clerk in the pharmacy is very enthusiastic and considerate to the doctor. He showed the doctor the way and brought him to Li Xingye's bed.

Li Xingye fell ill, the doctor couldn't believe it, how could it be such a coincidence? It doesn't matter, is the other party really sick? He had only to examine it to see.

The doctor carried his own medicine box and came to Li Xingye's bed. Li Xingye was paralyzed on the bed, his face looked very pale, and he had completely lost his previous vitality.

Seeing the doctor arrived, Li Xingye waved and pointed to his throat with a guilty expression on his face.

"Please open your mouth, let me take a look." The doctor skillfully took out diagnostic tools from the box and said simply.

Li Xingye opened his mouth obediently and let the doctor look at his throat.

Sure enough, it was inflamed, and it was quite swollen.

While examining, the doctor carefully paid attention to the expression on Li Xingye's face. When he cast doubtful eyes on Li Xingye's face, Li Xingye looked a little innocent.

"Your throat is very swollen, it's best not to talk these days." The doctor warned, and then took out a needle from the box, "There are a lot of people who have caught a cold recently, just to be on the safe side, I'll give you a needle first." Get a shot."

As he said that, the doctor paused again, "But this medicine is a bit powerful. After the injection, you may have a headache and vomiting, but it's all normal."

Li Xingye showed a weak smile, signaling the doctor to give him an injection quickly.

"Mr. Li, do you have any brothers and sisters? I heard that people in your country value many children and many blessings." The doctor asked casually.

Li Xingye shook his head.

"That's a pity."

Li Xingye was taken aback for a moment. Then there was a wry smile on his face, he pointed to the sky, then to the door, and finally waved at the doctor.

What is so pity about this? Born in this troubled world, even if you have brothers and sisters, you may not be able to live to adulthood.

He didn't want any more brothers and sisters to suffer like him.

The doctor understood what Li Xingye wanted to say.

"I am a doctor. Whether I treat you or the Japanese, I find that your body data are largely consistent. For us, you are all oriental. However, for For you, different countries probably have different types of people.”

The doctor ordered as soon as he could, but he didn't really care whether Li Xingye had anything to do with the Japanese. He only needs to be his doctor, treat his patients, and give some help to those in the army who he admires.

But for people in two countries that are at war, being connected with people from the enemy country is no different from traitors and traitors.

Not to mention, Japan is an aggressor. No matter what slogan a country uses to interfere in the affairs of another country, no matter how nice the words are, it cannot conceal the fact that it wants to control the power of other countries.

Li Xingye still kept a smile on his face, as if he was not very interested in what the doctor said.

"I know that businessmen value profit, but I still hope that you can think about yourself and your body." The doctor sighed, prescribed some medicine for Li Xingye, and went back to the clinic.

When he and Li Xingye were talking just now, the stethoscope was still on the other person's chest, and he could accurately feel the other person's heart beating faster than ordinary people, and the sound of breathing was heavier. His daughter had acted like this when she lied before.

The doctor walked out of the room and paused for a while.

He hoped that the other party could keep him and explain to him, but the other party obviously didn't mean that.

The doctor turned his head and saw that Li Xingye's room was pitch black and extremely depressing. Great uneasiness surged in his heart. This room felt a bit like a coffin to him, as if the people inside were just living in it and waiting to die.

What is he thinking so much about? There are people like Zhang Xuemei in this country, so naturally there are people like Li Xingye.

The doctor looked at the sky for a long time, then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

After waiting for the doctor to leave completely, Li Xingye slowly got up from the bed and lit an oil lamp.

The light was so weak that it could barely illuminate Li Xingye's face clearly.

The director pointed the camera at Mei Zihan, which was originally one of the few scenes where the director thought weeping could be placed.

But Mei Zihan in the camera did not do this.

He just stretched out his hand, roasted his fingers on the lamp for a while, and slowly retracted them when he felt the pain.

Li Xingye slowly smiled at the camera, his smile was uglier than crying, as if he would cry in the next moment, but he still didn't cry after all.

"... Passed." The director was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the scene between Li Xingye and Rick would go so smoothly this time.

The doctor should have been smiling when he walked out of Li Xingye's room, but he was crying, and Li Xingye, who had successfully concealed his identity, smiled uglier than crying.

Such a comparison can easily produce a sense of irony.

"Mei Zihan, come here." Director Zhou Guojian waved to Mei Zihan.

Mei Zihan wiped his face and immediately ran to the director's side.

"What's the matter? What did the director ask me to do?"

"You should be able to cry in this part just now." Zhou Guojian looked at Mei Zihan curiously, "This is one of the most suitable parts to insert into your crying scene. Can you tell me why you didn't make this choice?"

"Because I don't think Li Xingye would be able to cry at that time." Mei Zihan blinked and said as a matter of course.

Although Li Xingye is of mixed race and has a cowardly personality, a cowardly personality does not mean he loves to cry.

Whether it is the education of the father or the mother, there is nothing in it that boys can cry.

The most important thing is that the doctor has cried.

"Then when do you think it's appropriate to add a crying scene?"

"I don't know." Mei Zihan replied honestly, "But I don't think the most suitable time has come yet, but I don't know when the most suitable time is."

After finishing speaking, Mei Zihan looked at Rick in the camera and couldn't help admiring, "The doctor's handling of this tear shed here is really great."

He seemed to have seen the various views of the film critics on this tear after the film was broadcast. It could be the doctor's longing for his daughter, or the doctor's incomprehension and pity for Li Xingye, or it could be the anger at the ignorant people in this country. There are too many points that can be interpreted.

Until the night, Mei Zihan still couldn't forget the tear that the doctor shed.

"I thought about it, if it was me who acted, at most I would laugh at myself rather than silently shed a single tear." Mei Zihan said this, obviously admitting that he had lost. , "Jiang Ying, if it were you, how would you deal with it?"

"Maybe I will make the same choice as him." Jiang Ying lowered her head and thought for a while, "But when filming, to a large extent, it depends on the inspiration at that moment."

"Actually, I'm very glad that Rick and I were not under the same camera at that time. If I was standing beside Rick at that time, I probably wouldn't know how to react."

Jiang Ying thought about the appearance of Mei Zihan who didn't know how to react, and secretly smiled. But you have to hide it a bit, don't let Mei Zihan find out, otherwise the other party will definitely sulk again.

After all, they hadn't seen each other for four months.

Another four months to go!

"Doesn't this mean that you still have a lot of room for growth?" Jiang Ying comforted a little, "There is still time, think about you a few years ago, and you will grow up in a few years, compared to now Better."

"I hope so." Mei Zihan was rarely so confident. But Liu Tianyi secretly told Jiang Ying that director Zhou Guojian admired Mei Zihan's acting skills in private, but the other two actors in this crew had even better acting skills, and Mei Zihan must be put under a little pressure, so I appreciate it The words were not spoken in front of Mei Zihan.

In the next few months, although Mei Zihan did not have a particularly outstanding performance, he definitely did not hold back the crew.

The overall strength of the actors in this show is too strong, and you can pick out any "teacher" that other crews are vying for. Originally, there were still a few old actors who didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry who had some criticisms about Mei Zihan's joining, but after these few months of filming, they all changed their views on Mei Zihan.

Even if it's a star who is popular and popular, occasionally there will still be such an actor with excellent acting skills.

With the passage of time, director Zhou Guojian discovered that the few clips he had hoped could be used for Mei Zihan's crying scene had all been filmed, but Mei Zihan still showed no sign of wanting to use this privilege.

Could it be that the other party gave up this opportunity

Zhou Guojian couldn't help but think so.

It's strange to say that in the past so many actors cried and hoped that Zhou Guojian could add scenes to them, Zhou Guojian didn't respond to any of them, but now that Mei Zihan is given the right to raise interest rates, Mei Zihan is useless, and the director feels opinion.

Doesn't this silly boy know? How important is a ten-second close-up for a supporting character

It seems that I need to have a good talk with his agent, even if I don't have many gains and losses, I still have to think about myself.

The director was very worried. In the past, what he was worried about was that the actors would add scenes to him at every turn. He never expected that Feng Shui would turn around. Now it was his turn. He was worried that the actors would not add scenes to him

Before Zhou Guojian actually went to find Liu Tianyi, Mei Zihan had already taken advantage of the agreed-upon right to play.

On this day, we filmed a scene with three people.

Four years have passed since the three of them first met.

Zhang Xuemei, who has become a party member and cadre, returned to this city again. It has been recovered, and there are almost no shadows of Japanese military officers.

"I'm here this time to find out a spy here. Yes doctor, you're right, the person I suspect is Li Xingye."

Zhang Xuemei had a few scars on her face, and her skin was no longer as fair as before, but the youthful temperament that belonged to students had disappeared, replaced by the perseverance and courage that belonged to soldiers.

"He shouldn't be reduced to being a spy." The doctor's tone was a little uncertain.

He knew that his words were not convincing, because he was so skeptical.

"If it's possible, I don't want it to be him. But I found out that there have been people in China who have provided medicine to the Japanese military, and the place where I found out is the city where we are now."

And in this city, Li Xingye is the only person who has the largest drug business.

"Let's find out if it's true or not." Zhang Xuemei touched the scar on her face, "The thing I can't stand the most is the killing of my compatriots. If he really does such a thing, even if we know each other, we will We will never let him go, he will be punished by the laws of our new rabbit country."

Now Zhang Xuemei, even if she goes to the meeting alone, no one dares to touch her a finger.

The doctor could not have gone, but after thinking about it, he still went with Zhang Xuemei.

In fact, he also wanted to know the reason.

Now that the war has developed, the situation of both the world and the country has become clear, and fascism has fallen short and is irreparable.

This also means that doctors will be able to return to their own countries in the near future.

"Doctor, when our country is formally established, I hope you can come to attend. Our party welcomes any foreign friends who have helped us. We will always remember your kindness to us and pass on this gratitude to Future generations." Zhang Xuemei deliberately said some lighthearted words on the road, "Our country will one day become as powerful as your country, and no one can stop it."

"I will definitely." The doctor also laughed, "Everyone says that this war cannot be won, but I have seen a miracle."

Li Xingye still lived in the original house, even though his accumulated wealth was already among the top three in the city.

In fact, during the years of war, Li Xingye's reputation in this city was not bad at all. Many factories have been opened, and many people injured by the war have been rescued. Even the medicines sold to clinics have always maintained the original price.

But this in itself is actually a very suspicious thing.

If Li Xingye didn't have any power behind him, it would be impossible for him to continue to expand his footsteps in such a city in such an era.

When they came to Li Xingye's room, the other party seemed to know that they were coming, and had already prepared food and drinks. Just enough for three people.

The doctor was the first to go up and sit down at the table.

Zhang Xuemei sat down unwillingly.

"Can you not say anything, let me pray with God first?" The doctor looked at the two and said.

He seldom prayed while eating, because most of the time he was too busy to eat. But now, the doctor persuaded him to spend time and pray with God, and he hoped that what he worried about would not come true.

After the doctor finished praying, he silently opened his eyes.

He turned his head to look at Li Xingye, his eyes seemed to contain a thousand words.

Li Xingye didn't dare to look at him, let alone Zhang Xuemei.

In the past few years, Li Xingye had sent his assistants to deliver the medicines, and he never went to the clinic. Because he was afraid that he would be seen by the doctor.

"I heard that your mother is sick, do you need me to take a look at her?" The doctor started the topic first.

"No need, there is no cure for heart disease." Li Xingye shook his head. ,"thanks for your concern."

"Who is your mother?" Zhang Xuemei asked aloud, "I have never been able to find out about your life experience."

"Japanese/human." Li Xingye smiled slightly.

Here comes the worst answer.

The doctor took a sip of his wine sullenly, choking.

He is still not used to the strong alcohol in the Rabbit Country, and his throat hurts from burning!

"Actually, this doesn't explain anything." The doctor turned to look at Zhang Xuemei, "Mixed race is very common."

"Not often." Zhang Xuemei said coldly, "Hoshino, is that your Japanese surname?"

"yes."

"But your father is from the Rabbit Country." The doctor interrupted the conversation between the two of them, "Zhang, people make mistakes, can't we give him a chance? Now that the war is coming to an end, and he really saved Been a lot of people…”

The doctor looked very sad. He had seen too many lives and deaths in the past few years, but on the eve of victory, he found that two good friends he knew were going to fight to the death.

Looking at such a doctor, Zhang Xuemei couldn't be cruel, "If he turns himself in..."

There is an intoxicating charm about Rick.

When he looked at the camera with such a focused expression, no matter how hard-hearted a person is, it would be difficult to refuse his request.

What's more, the doctor is originally a gentle person who loves the lives of all people.

It is obviously a shot of three people, but people can't help but focus on the doctor.

Zhou Guojian saw that some of the two actors were taken away by the doctor, and some wanted to stop.

At this time, Mei Zihan suddenly brought the two wine glasses on the table in front of her.

"I have always provided medicine to my grandfather. My mother and I can survive in this city because of my grandfather's help behind the scenes." Li Xingye lifted the jug and filled the empty glass with wine.

"Every time I provide medicine to grandpa, I will make a credit for myself." Li Xingye pushed a glass of wine in front of the doctor, "After finishing my work on grandpa, I will divide the money I earned into two parts. One was used to help the people whose families were destroyed by the war in this city, and the other was donated to the national army by me in the name of others." Li Xingye pushed another glass of wine to Zhang Xuemei.

The doctor also gave Zhang Xuemei his own wine, "In this case, can he..."

"No." Zhang Xuemei spit out the word softly. Human life is not calculated in this way, and war and hatred are not such simple addition and subtraction.

"I've been thinking that it would be fine if I were a simple Japanese or a native of the Rabbit Country, but unfortunately my life is not good." Li Xingye seemed to have no idea what kind of expression he should make, "I have had many opportunities to cut off my grandfather. There are also many opportunities to leave this city due to the connection there. But I think there will be another opportunity, so I have not been able to make a decision.”

Both the doctor and Zhang Xuemei were silent.

"My mother probably has less than half a year to live. I will give you an explanation after I take care of her in retirement. Now even if you want to find evidence, you won't be able to find it."

"You're just trying to escape!" Zhang Xuemei said angrily, "The war is not over yet, what do you want to do next? Do you want to continue to provide medicine?"

"The last batch of medicine has been delivered, and it is no longer needed. Even I can see that the overall situation of the war has been decided."

"You can go to my country with me." The doctor interjected, "You didn't directly kill anyone. Isn't there a saying in your country that you put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha right away? Our place..."

"Thank you, doctor. Don't give me another choice. I will really be moved. My mother should wake up. Let's go."

Zhang Xuemei pulled out the gun from her waist and pointed it at Li Xingye's forehead.

The doctor stood in front of Li Zhang Xuemei decisively.

"Zhang, don't be impulsive."

Hearing a groan, Li Xingye decisively left the doctor and Zhang Xuemei behind, and ran to the door of his mother's room.

The doctor and Zhang Xuemei were arguing fiercely outside.

This should have ended Mei Zihan's role.

"Wait, move the camera over too." Zhou Guojian saw Mei Zihan in the room turn around, with his back to his mother.

Then he reached out and covered his eyes with his hands.

Tears flowed silently from between the fingers.

tick.

Outside the door was the quarrel between Zhang Xuemei and the doctor, and the camera mainly focused on these two people, while Li Xingye shed tears for the first time in a small corner where neither of them could see.

He didn't dare let Zhang Xuemei see it, he didn't dare let the doctor see it, he didn't dare let his mother see it, he even covered his eyes, not wanting to see it himself.

"Director, do you want to zoom in on the camera?" The assistant director asked suddenly. This was about ten seconds of close-up time for Mei Zihan, but the camera was a bit far away, so it wasn't very conspicuous.

"No need." Zhou Guojian was still looking at the camera, "This is Mei Zihan's own choice."

He only allows his crying to occupy such a small corner in the camera.

This was probably Li Xingye's last stubbornness.

So far, this character is truly alive.

Zhou Guojian let out a long sigh of relief.

It was the right decision to let Mei Zihan play this role.
