In Laboratory No. 1 eight hundred years ago, Li Yue had the highest say in the entire experimental base. Just like in the crew of "Heard the Wind", Chu Xiaoqing's words are the most important instructions, even above the producers, and everyone must implement them.
The rivalry scene between Chu Yan and Lei Meng just now was clearly shot very well, both of them performed very well, there was a fierce conflict, and the character of the characters was also revealed. The other staff members in the crew didn't understand why Chu Xiaoqing made such a decision, even Chu Yan was stunned, the movement of drinking water froze in mid-air, and he looked at Director Chu in a daze.
Among all kinds of complicated equipment, the female director had already stood up from the director's chair and was seriously watching the video shot just now. Sixteen square virtual screens about 20 centimeters in length and width were suspended in front of her. Because each scene was shot by more than a hundred miniature cameras, the sixteen shots were shot non-stop according to Chu Xiaoqing's instructions. Changes and changes, and she makes judgments in a very short time.
As for her judgment
— That's the remake.
"You guys have to think about your emotions in this part. The role of the laboratory assistant is almost enough. Pay attention to Chu Yan and Lei Meng." He said calmly, "Raymond, read the script again and control your acting skills."
After these words fell, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Chu Yan's mind, but it disappeared before he caught it.
And Lei Meng was completely stunned. If there was a thunderbolt, he looked at the female director who was communicating with the assistant director with incredulous eyes. After a long time, he looked at the woman standing opposite him with a complicated expression. Chu Yan was also surprised.
Raymond's agent, Richard, sighed and said, "Director Chu saw it."
After a while, Lei Meng said in a low voice: "Actually, this is a bit different from how I felt when I faced An Shaoyang. An Shaoyang took me along from the beginning to the end. It was the first time I met her. I really can't stop the play at all, I can only react subconsciously. But Richard, when I played with Chu just now, I managed to control my acting skills."
Richard shook his head lightly: "Raymond, you still underestimate the enemy, how do you know, if you haven't acted in "Darkness Invasion" with An Shaoyang before, then you can not be carried away by Chu Yan's feeling now How about going?"
Raymond paused in his heart and didn't speak again.
Richard's words were correct, An Shaoyang gave Lei Meng some shock, and he understood how big the gap between his sixth place and the first place was. But in the same way, An Shaoyang also sharpened Raymond and improved his acting skills. Even in the late filming of "Darkness Invasion", Raymond didn't have an NG for a month in a row, which won the praise of director Alando.
But in the first scene of the crew of "Heard the Wind", Raymond was NG.
Thinking of this, the American actor frowned even more, feeling a sense of challenge in his heart.
Chu Xiaoqing is very powerful and has very high requirements for movies, but he, Lei Meng, is not an ordinary actor. Even if he didn't face up to Chu Yan just now and let the other party bring him into the play and follow his emotions, then he will definitely not make this mistake again next time.
The burning confidence made Raymond full of energy, and he walked to the set again without a few minutes of rest to continue the shooting of the next scene.
However... as much hope, so much disappointment!
This time Lei Meng was not brought into the play by Chu Yan again, he maintained his own rhythm and perfectly performed the meeting scene between Li Yue and Hill. But after looking at the camera, Chu Xiaoqing still shook her head, raised her eyes, and said, "Retake."
Raymond: "..."
Chu Yan: "..."
Then the third time, the fourth time...
Chu Yan's first scene after joining the group only NGed twice, but Lei Meng's first scene NGed a full three times!
After the fourth NG, Raymond was already at a loss. He can see Chu Yan's performance. This young man is extremely talented and his acting skills are superb. Even he can barely control his emotions so as not to be brought into the play by the other party and follow the other party's rhythm. But Director Chu kept asking for a reshoot.
Could it be because of Chu Yan's problem? Or... is this his own problem
After the NG this time, Lei Meng took the water glass handed over by his assistant and drank it in big gulps. Today he has re-read his AI script for the eighteenth time, and with the text script, he feels that there is absolutely no problem with his interpretation, and he performed it strictly according to the requirements of the script.
Looking at the virtual image projected by the AI script, Raymond's expression got worse and worse. He was holding the water glass tightly, his fingers turned white. Since he became the sixth top artist in the world, this is the first time he NGed three times in a row, and his most NG record was the first time he played against An Shaoyang, at that time he NGed four times.
Assuming that he NGs for the fifth time this time, it will break another record hidden in his heart.
This kind of thing shouldn't happen, and it's not allowed to happen, it's a step backwards in acting, it's...
"Raymond, are you reading the AI script?" Qing Yue's pleasant voice suddenly sounded.
Lei Meng subconsciously turned his head to take a look, and when he saw Chu Yan, he was slightly stunned for a while, and then said with a relaxed tone: "Yeah, it's been NG four times, Chu, I have to take a good look, what is it? What's the problem. If you agree, we can rehearse a few times first, I don't want to NG anymore."
The crew of "Heard the Wind" is rich and powerful, but Chu Xiaoqing will use all 121 micro-cameras in the shooting of each scene to ensure that there are no dead spots. No matter how rich he is, he can't afford such expenses. It is naturally best to reduce the number of NGs, and this is also related to Raymond's self-esteem.
There were noisy and troublesome voices in his ears, and the handsome and relaxed American film star in front of him, Chu Yan smiled slightly, walked to Lei Meng's side, first casually glanced at his virtual screen, and then said: "Raymond, Your complexion is a bit ugly, is there something wrong? May I know?"
Hearing this, Raymond's face changed, and he couldn't keep his smile any longer.
Although he had known Chu Yan not long ago, Lei Meng knew that this young man had a good personality and a good character, and he would never harm himself. He also really wanted to be friends with Chu Yan.
So under such circumstances, Raymond said: "Okay, Chu, to be honest, I don't want to be NG anymore. I have strict requirements on myself. I came to participate in this drama to improve myself. As for what Fame, awards and remuneration, these are all secondary. But now I have fallen into a strange circle. I am very disappointed by the negation given by Director Chu. I want to know what I did wrong, but there is no clue .”
"Do you think there's something wrong with what you're doing?"
Raymond thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "No, I think my acting is very good. Chu, don't you think my acting is not good?"
A smile appeared on the handsome and beautiful face of the young man, Chu Yan shook his head lightly, and said seriously: "You performed very well. Especially for the first time, I think the feeling like that is very good, very good."
Chu Yan also said the same thing, and Lei Meng was even more confused, feeling very wronged. In the end, he decided to talk to Director Chu about the play, and asked him what kind of feeling he wanted, and Chu Yan followed.
In a movie, it is only natural for the director to tell the actors. If you don't tell me, how will others know what shot you want to shoot? What effect do you want to get
But in the crew of "Heard the Wind", Director Chu said very little, and only briefly mentioned a few words. Unless it is some supporting roles, she may carefully tell the play to each other. Once she meets the main actors like Chu Yan and Lei Meng, she basically let go, and let these leading actors think about how they should perform.
Of course, this is also a matter of course for Raymond. This seems to have become a default rule in the entertainment circle. The top super-line artists all have their own acting styles, and the director can only play a role in raising points, but can't teach them how to act.
—Because they are top super first-line artists, their strength is obvious to all.
However, now, Lei Meng gave up. He took the initiative to find Director Chu and explained his confusion in detail. The content of the speech was roughly "I don't know what I did wrong, please remind me more", but there was a hint of grievance and unwillingness in the tone: Raymond didn't feel that his film needed to be re-shot.
For this, Chu Xiaoqing was not angry, but said bluntly: "You have controlled too much, Lei Meng, the best scene you shot was the first scene, although your own acting skills improved within ten seconds." A little miss, a little drama, but the rest of the time you were good."
Lei Meng was very surprised by this answer, and Chu Yan was also surprised: "Director Chu, what do you mean?"
Chu Xiaoqing suddenly laughed, and she looked at Lei Meng: "Do you care about exposing your shortcomings?"
Lei Meng froze, as if he understood something, he shook his head first, then nodded, and finally turned his face away with embarrassment, so as not to let the two "Chu family members" see his appearance.
While Chu Yan was stunned, he already understood something, and then, Director Chu analyzed it for Lei Meng in detail.
During the first filming, Lei Meng was unpreparedly brought into the play by Chu Yan. He felt that his acting skills were out of control, so he broke free from the shackles of Chu Yan's acting skills, and continued his acting "sensibly" again. role.
There is nothing wrong with such a choice. No one said that shooting must be in a good state. For example, this time, Chu Yan brought Lei Meng into the state, but who said that the state created by Chu Yan is good? Maybe this is a wrong sense of drama? Maybe according to Raymond's own acting skills, his performance will be even better
Director Chu did not deny Lei Meng's choice, but she said: "During the first filming, the scene where you played was very obvious, and I am not satisfied."
Others couldn't see it, but Chu Xiaoqing could, and she didn't allow actors to "wander" while filming.
So in the following, in order not to be taken away by Chu Yan, Lei Meng has been filming in a tense state. He no longer regarded Chu Yan as his partner, but regarded him as an "enemy". He could not be defeated by the opponent, so he had to be on guard, and even wanted to attack.
"The two of you have just filmed the first scene together. It's normal that you can't get along with each other. When you cooperate more in the future, the situation will be much better. This is normal, so don't worry too much." After a pause, Director Chu Looking at the ashamed Lei Meng, he said, "And now if you don't want to NG anymore, then Lei Meng, I hope you put down your defenses and perform for me again with your real acting skills."
Who said that Chu Xiaoqing was indifferent by nature, valued art more than everything else, and had extremely low EQ
That's just prejudice!
Having said these words, Lei Meng, who was originally depressed and even unwilling, was so confident that he took the initiative to pull Chu Yan to rehearse, and he must not be NG for the fifth time.
Seeing this, Chu Yan smiled and said, "Lei Meng, you are not enough friends."
Lei Meng laughed dryly and said, "Chu, you have to give me some time to prepare, don't you?"
The two said a few more words, and then began to formally rehearse.
This time, there was no friction or abruptness, and everything came naturally. Raymond no longer suppressed his emotions, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the soul of the character, even in rehearsal, his acting skills were dazzling and gorgeous.
Under An Shaoyang, Lei Meng is the highest-ranked actor that Chu Yan has worked with.
In the first rivalry scene, Lei Meng was not prepared; and in the next two, three, four, five times, Lei Meng deliberately suppressed himself, preventing Chu Yan from feeling his true strength.
After this time, Chu Yan finally understood why director Chu said, "Use your real acting skills to perform for me again".
This American film star really deserves every trophy he has won!
For the next shoot, one shot was over, and the staff in the audience cheered a little, celebrating the end of such a "difficult" scene. However, only Chu Yan, Lei Meng and Director Chu knew that this scene was never difficult for them, but it was the first cooperation between Chu Yan and Lei Meng.
After being suppressed by An Shaoyang's acting skills for three full days, Lei Meng found out how to show his own characteristics under the opponent's strength. But now, after only using NG four times, he found the feeling of running in with Chu Yan.
With the running-in in advance, the next shooting gradually went smoothly.
When Richard decided to leave the A-2 film and television planet that night, before leaving, he smiled and said to his artist: "It seems that you already know how to get along with that excellent 'Super First Line' I've collaborated alone, Raymond, I'm so proud of you. Show him your acting skills, I believe you will have a pleasant cooperation!"
Hearing this, Lei Meng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Richard, why do you think there are so many freaks in China?"
Richard was taken aback: "Freak?"
Lei Meng thoughtfully said: "Yes, there is An Shaoyang, there is Gu Chenze, and now there is Chu Yan."
From knowing Chu Yan to now, this is the first time Raymond called him by his full name. For Lei Meng, who has English habits, he doesn't like to call these Chinese friends' names backwards, because he personally finds it strange, but this is a Chinese habit, and he is not easy to object, so he usually calls each other's last name , called as such.
In China's entertainment industry, Lei Meng only called three names.
—An Shaoyang, Gu Chenze and Chu Yan.
This means that he fully recognizes and even admires the other party.
Richard's eyes widened, and he said, "You have such a high opinion of Chu Yan? Raymond, are you overestimating..."
"Richard, do you know why Director Chu was so satisfied when I cooperated with Chu Yan later? Because I gave up. I decided to follow my own style and no longer deliberately avoid each other, so several times I I'm still emotionally moved by Chu Yan's acting skills, but I don't feel annoyed or sad."
Richard frowned puzzled.
However, Lei Meng laughed: "Because, Richard, I found that Chu Yan is different from all the actors I have met. That strange quality is very powerful, not like that of An Shaoyang. I have never worked with Gu Chenze before, so I don’t know what he looks like. But when I worked with Oliver, I didn’t have such a wonderful feeling.”
Oliver, the top actor in the United States, is currently ranked second in the galaxy, second only to An Shaoyang.
Richard asked curiously, "What the hell is that?"
Lei Meng slowly restrained his smile, and he said solemnly: "It's the understanding of the role. When I was playing with him, Richard, you can't believe it. I really think he is Li Yue, not Chu Yan." , he is that crazy and indifferent horrible scientist. He is as arrogant as that scientist, and he is as lonely as that scientist."
In the end, Richard didn't understand what Raymond meant, but Raymond didn't mean to explain it. He just smiled and said that he seemed to be able to make a breakthrough in this play, so that Richard De waited for his good news.
As for the conversation between Raymond and his manager, Chu Yan didn't know.
Back then, he and An Shaoyang played against each other, and it took a long time for the two of them to be able to accommodate each other and perform well. However, because Chu Yan had too few roles, he did not have the opportunity to cooperate with An Shaoyang a few times, but now he has the opportunity to cooperate with Lei Meng for a long time.
After cooperating with Lei Meng in the opposite scene, Chu Yan also felt something wonderful. Raymond had something that Chu Yan didn't feel about Hill's performance. His performance had a magical sense of imagery, which made Chu Yan think carefully for a long time, and finally suddenly opened his own AI script and watched it seriously.
Just as Zhou Hehui passed by, he suddenly spotted his artist reading an AI script, which made him stunned, and asked, "Wait a minute, Xiaoyan, why did you suddenly want to watch an AI script? Didn't you just Will you read the AI script every time you turn it on, and never open it again?"
Hearing this, Chu Yan raised his head helplessly, looked at Zhou Hehui with a smile, and said, "Brother Zhou, can I not read the AI script?"
Zhou Hehui immediately shook his head: "Of course, you can see! Hurry up and watch!"
This script was produced by Zhou Hehui with a lot of effort. Every time Chu Yan only read it once and never touched it again. Great, it can't help but be a little sad.
Now that Chu Yan actually read the AI script again, how can Zhou Hehui be unhappy? The fruits of his labor have been valued again, and he is in tears!
After a slight smile, the young man's long and narrow eyes slightly curved, and Chu Yan said with a relaxed expression but a very serious voice: "Brother Zhou, I used to ignore the AI script too much, and you really worked hard to make it for me. It's gone."
Zhou Hehui shook his head immediately, expressing no need again and again.
But Chu Yan shook his head meaningfully and didn't say much.
History will always progress, and the emergence of AI scripts must have its reasons. It is absolutely impossible for this reason to be simply to lower the barriers to entry in the entertainment industry. It must have its essence, which has existed for hundreds of years and has not been abandoned.
The bright and clear moonlight slowly cast down from the night sky, covering the entire A-2 film and television planet with cool and bright light. It was getting dark early, and the first day of filming was over. Everyone in the crew of "Heard the Wind" fell into a deep sleep to recharge their batteries for the next day's filming.
And on Skynet, "Darkness Invasion", which has been finished for many days, reappeared in the eyes of fans, climbing to the second place in the hot search list of the day with an irresistible trend. When it was twelve o'clock in the evening, #黑色攻相报片# officially reached the top, becoming the number one most searched on Weibo, and the third place on the entire network!
