"What Stone is best at is not acting." Director Shi said, "but training actors."
There was no one else around, he looked at this talented young man who was trapped by his own talent, and planned to take this opportunity to wake him up.
"You're not as good as him at this point." Director Shi said, "You're always chasing a perfect actress, and there's no perfect person in this world, so you can't spend some time doing what a director should do, such as yourself. Would you like to train an actor?"
Chen Guanchao crooked his mouth, a little dissatisfied: "I have been trained..."
"'It's too bad,' 'do it again' 'change the actor', this is your training, haha?" Shi Dao smiled and patted his stomach, making a drumming sound.
Chen Guanchao blushed slowly.
"We are directors, not decorations. It is also part of our job to train actors." Shi Dao smiled and looked at him seriously, "Take You Ling as an example, if it were you, how would you make her Acting in today's play?"
Chen Guanchao lowered his head and thought for a while before he raised his head and said, "I will tell her about the show first, and tell her how to play this place, and what kind of feelings and emotions to show."
There are drama idiots and director idiots in the world. He quickly forgets everything around him and falls into his own self. He takes out the script that is always with him, and writes and draws on it with a pen while watching.
He first wrote a disgusting word next to the line "This wall is too dirty, don't hang me on it".
"I'm tired of the show first." Chen Guanchao murmured while writing, "It's not that she really hates the place to live, but the male protagonist. She wants to break up with him."
After that, he again underlined the inner monologue of "it's fine if he dies, and I'll be free when he dies".
"Then we have to show hate." Chen Guanchao murmured while slashing, "The male protagonist is just a face of loneliness and loneliness to her. This kind of thing dares to force her, order her, and even threaten her. She had never been insulted like this before, and she wished he died."
Looking down, the pen followed, focusing on Princess Lingshan's phrase "get up".
"Worry or love here?" He frowned, scribbled and corrected for a long time, and hesitated for a long time to conclude, "It should be worry, she can't be sure of her own mind now."
Until the end of the play, Princess Lingshan looked at the injured male protagonist with complicated eyes, Chen Guanchao breathed a sigh of relief, wrote a word of love next to him, and then showed the fully written script to Director Shi, smiling: "That's all, play it according to what's written above, that's right."
Director Shi chuckled and said, "You are right in theory, but not all actors eat this set."
Chen Guanchao's confident smile froze.
"Every actor is different. You can talk about some actors in advance, some actors are better to talk about it temporarily, some actors can talk more, and some you need to talk less, let them experience it for themselves." Director Shi said with a smile. Said, "For example, You Ling, she is the type who is best to say less and say it temporarily."
After finishing speaking, Director Shi took the script in Chen Guanchao's hand, added a line at the end of the script, and then returned it to him: "Look at it now, and see how the stone is made."
Chen Guanchao took it and found that what he added were two lines temporarily added by Shi Zhongtang.
"Isn't it better to let me die? When I die, you are free."
Chen Guanchao looked at the first sentence and was silent for a long time, until Shi Dao pointed it out: "This sentence is what Princess Lingshan said."
These words seemed to be enlightening, which made Chen Guanchao stunned, and then quickly looked at the next line.
"You don't want me to die."
"This sentence..." Chen Guanchao murmured, "It is the answer from Princess Lingshan's heart."
It's no wonder that at the end of this play, it feels completely different from yesterday, because yesterday or the day before yesterday, the male and female protagonists are all in love, but now, Shi Zhongtang only used two words to knock on the door of Princess Lingshan's heart. , to dig out her thoughts that she has always refused to admit, let her see it by herself, and let the audience see it.
This can be regarded as the first time Princess Lingshan has shown her true feelings since the filming began. Of course, it is completely different from before. Not only she surprised the audience, but also surprised the audience, because Shi Zhongtang's performance showed them a kind of "truth revealed" effect.
"Study hard." Director Shi patted Chen Guanchao's shoulder, "You still have a lot to learn, don't hold on to your "Phantom of the Theater" anymore."
After he finished speaking, he stuck out his tongue like an old urchin, and said to Chen Guanchao, "The male protagonist of "The Man in the Painting" is better than you. What kind of crazy is a bunch of square characters?"
Trapped in the past, trapped in the people in the paintings, except Chen Guanchao, how many people in this world are like this
When the two of them were away, the crew stopped, and everyone just took this opportunity to take a break.
"The performance just now was really good." Shi Zhongtang wiped the plasma on his neck with a towel, and handed over another clean towel, "Here."
Ning Ning's face was also stained with plasma, she reached out to take it, and slowly wiped the blood on her face.
"What?" Shi Zhongtang's eyes fell on her lap, smiling, "Researching the next scene?"
Ning Ning was sitting on a chair with a pen behind his ear, a script spread out on his lap, densely packed with notes no less than Chen Guanchao's.
Not only the director has to figure out the character's mind and think about how to play it, but the actor himself has to do his homework, so if you find that the script in an actor's hand is blank... I'm sorry, you may have seen a fake script, or to a fake actor.
"You disrupted my overall plan." Ning Ning said angrily, but her cheeks bulged for a long time, and finally she was discouraged, "...You are right, it looks better this way."
Shi Zhongtang smiled.
"I'm also selfish." He laughed. "This scene is over soon, and we can start the next one, my favorite one."
Ning Ning's mouth twitched.
Next: The kiss scene.
Halfway through the filming of The Man in the Picture, the conflict will become more and more intense in the second half of the film. Princess Lingshan finally opened her heart and fell in love with this man who kept chasing her.
But he died.
The moment she was finally resurrected, he died of serious injuries, and the moment she finally fell in love with him, he died.
This is a first love that just started and ended.
Shi Zhongtang suddenly leaned on Ning Ning, and the movement was a bit loud. The other person glanced over here, saw the two of them, and smiled knowingly, because they all knew that Shi Zhongtang was chasing Ning Ning, so he thought it was another little trick he made. tricks.
But that's not the case.
"...Are you alright?" Ning Ning looked up at his cold sweaty face, got up and gave him the seat, "You sit, I'll call the doctor."
Shi Zhongtang pressed her left hand on Ning Ning's shoulder and pressed her back again.
"I'm fine." He gritted his teeth and covered his face with a towel. A muffled voice came from behind the towel, "Don't disturb others."
Because of the same experience, Ningning sympathized with him. She really didn't disturb others, and even... She looked down at the back of her hand that was covered by him, and didn't pull out her hand.
Her hands were hot, his hands were cold, like the hands of a dead man.
"Don't run to that cinema again." She reminded him again, "That's it once, and again I don't know if I can get out of bed and walk."
Shi Zhongtang put his left hand on the back of hers and asked in a low voice, "...Why did you go to the cinema?"
"..." This question made Ningning silent for a long time before slowly opening her mouth, "I'm an actor, but unlike you, I'm a genius in acting like something. There was a time when I acted like something like a clown. People laugh. I can't think of any other way to hone my acting skills other than throwing myself into a movie theater, and turning myself into someone else again and again."
Shi Zhongtang put down the towel, and two peach eyes looked at her in surprise.
"...Why are you looking at me like this?" Ning Ning felt a little itchy, and couldn't help rubbing the chair with her back.
"This is the first time you tell me about yourself." Shi Zhongtang's eyes became gentle, "By the way, what's your name."
Ning Ning became vigilant: "Why are you asking this?"
Shi Zhongtang said in a coquettish tone, "Tell me."
Ning Ning was even more vigilant: "What's the point of knowing?"
"It's meaningful to you." Shi Zhongtang smiled even sweeter, leaning against her like two swans in the water, with their heads close to each other, and said warmly, "In a foreign country, no, in another Time and space, there is someone calling your name, your real name... don't you like it?"
"I don't like it." Ning Ning said firmly.
She made up her mind not to reveal her name to anyone, because the screening method of Life Cinema is to put a poster at the door first, and the name of the famous person in the play is written on the poster. A terrible thing, you don't know if the other party will be at the door, waiting for your name to appear for days, months and decades.
"...Are you afraid?" Shi Zhongtang tilted her head and looked at her with bright eyes, just as she pierced through Princess Lingshan's mind, "Are you afraid that I will find you?"
Ning Ning looked up and stared at him, just like Princess Lingshan was pierced through her mind, and then looked at him speechlessly.
This man has a magical power. He disturbed Ning Ning's heart with just a few words. He even confused Ning Ning's senses, making her more and more unable to distinguish between herself and Princess Lingshan. difference.
She looks more and more like Princess Lingshan.
On the one hand, I wished him to die, and on the other hand, I was reluctant to let him die.
While terrified of his pursuit, he also hoped that he would really persevere.
"Alright, alright! Everyone, get ready!" Director Shi's applause interrupted their gaze, and he led back Chen Guanchao, who couldn't let go, "Let's take the next shot!"
Next time, the kiss scene.
Several swords came, as dense as fishing nets.
Shi Zhongtang greeted him with a sword. People walked through the net of swords. Wherever they passed, the hilt of the long sword fell, and the assassins fell one by one. In the end, he was the only one standing in the bamboo forest, and the others were already lying on the ground. in a pool of blood.
The cyan bamboo leaves, the blood dripping from the tip of the sword, and the swordsman in white create a bright and magnificent image in front of the camera.
Shi Zhongtang closed his eyes, the sword fell from his hand, and the man fell to the ground.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark, and there was a fire burning beside him. Next to the fire sat a woman in white, as bright as a full moon, illuminating the whole night.
The bonfire crackled, and the jumping flame swayed on Shi Zhongtang's face. He smiled weakly at Ningning: "I'm so tired."
Ning Ning looked at him blankly.
"Give me a reward." He looked at her tenderly and pitifully, "I'm so stupid, chasing you without asking for anything in return... Give me a little reward so I can continue... "
Ning Ning was slightly taken aback.
The moment he looked at her like this, the moment he said this, her senses were completely confused with Princess Lingshan.
Everything around her began to blur, green bamboos broke out one by one and stretched out from behind her to all directions. Wherever she passed, Shi Dao disappeared, Chen Guanchao disappeared, her mother disappeared, the camera disappeared, and everything disappeared. .
Only the corpses were left, and the two of them.
Just like the moon rising from the water in the water, like the flowers in the mirror blooming in front of the eyes, the boundary between the false and the real has lost, everything is like a dream.
Ning Ning sat down beside Shi Zhongtang and slowly embraced him.
He looked at her, obviously both of them had spent countless spring nights in the Furong tent, but he looked at her with surprise and nervousness, as if he never thought that he would really be rewarded.
Ning Ning couldn't help but feel a little funny.
With this smile, she gently kissed his lips, like kissing the moon in the water, like kissing the flower in the mirror.
"Your chase..." She opened her eyes and looked down at him, "to make me no longer alone."
After confusing each other and losing boundaries, the filming went more smoothly.
Soon, this day will come.
On October 10, "The Man in the Painting" was completed.
