"Azhen, open your mouth!"
"ah!"
"Open wider!"
"ah!"
"Too big!"
On the location set, a car rolled over, a dummy (a British nun) fell in a pool of blood, and Tsui Hark was filming some trivial scenes.
Not far away from them, Qiu Shuzhen was holding a hammer stained with plasma in her hand, with blood stains on her clothes and face. She was sitting obediently opposite Chen Qi, accepting the guidance of her master.
"You lower your head slightly, look from bottom to top, grin, don't move, don't move!"
Chen Qi stretched out his hand and pinched her face, pulling it to both sides. The corners of her mouth opened unconsciously until it reached a satisfactory arc, and said: "OK! Look a little evil, imagine that it's Yuan Jieying in front of you, and you're going to do it right away."
Kill her...yes, that's it, keep it up!"
He quickly took the camera and took a photo.
Then he kneaded her little face like plasticine. Qiu Shuzhen dared not say anything in anger, so she had no choice but to let him ravage her. Finally, he made a very sweet smile for her and took another photo.
"When I develop the photos, you can practice and make sure they are accurate and form muscle memory."
"What is muscle memory?"
"That is, whenever you want to laugh, you can smile like this."
"Oh~"
Qiu Shuzhen nodded and didn't ask what she was doing, because the other party would definitely answer: With your education and IQ, you don't even understand.
During these days, she had been hit countless times and she was used to it.
Chen Qi designed two smiles for her, one evil and one sweet. Then there was a scene in the film: she was walking sweetly. Under the alternating light and dark lights, the expression on her face changed, from a little angel to a little angel.
demon……
This kind of lens can enhance the quality of the movie and directly leave a deep impression on the audience.
For example, Zhang Zifeng's smile in "Detective Chinatown".
It was impossible for Qiu Shuzhen to act. He could only squeeze plasticine, artificially create expressions, and then let her practice. She was obedient, willing to work hard, and did whatever she was told. Chen Qi wanted to cultivate her more and more.
"Azhen, it's your turn!"
Tsui Hark is calling over there.
Chen Qi pushed her and encouraged: "Go ahead, you are great now. Recall the day you cried when you were bullied. Think of her as Yuan Jieying and beat her hard!"
Yuan Jieying is not on the crew, but she still made a great contribution...
"Action!"
Tsui Hark shouted, Qiu Shuzhen squatted down, stared at the dummy on the ground, then picked up the bloody hammer and started smashing it, harder and harder every time, as if she really imagined Yuan Jieying, the corners of her mouth turned up.
He started to look happy.
He actually laughed.
"Alas!"
Tsui Hark and Chen Qi both trembled. How could they become experientialists even though they were acting?
…………
"Master, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!"
At night, Qiu Shuzhen waved goodbye and watched Gundam fly away to fight Ultraman before entering the door.
She is the last one to come home now. Her parents have finished work, and it is the same today, leaving food for her. Qiu Shuzhen washed her hands, sat down and ate voraciously, and found that her parents were surrounding her one by one.
"What are you doing, kidnapping?"
"Azhen, tell me honestly, what happened between you and Mr. Chen? He sent you home for several days in a row."
"He is my master!"
"Nothing else?"
"Otherwise..."
Qiu Shuzhen was stunned. She was in middle school and understood some things. She reacted and said loudly: "You are too outrageous. I am only 13 years old. My master is a very good person. Do you think he is a bad person?"
"Oh, we are doing it for your own good. There are all kinds of beasts nowadays, and they only pick out little girls like you!"
"But it's okay. Since he has accepted you as his apprentice, has he given you any preferential treatment?"
"Yes, teach me acting every day."
"Nothing else?"
"Otherwise! You guys are so weird today, don't disturb me while I'm eating."
My parents froze in anger. In fact, they just wanted to ask Chen Qi if he could give him some extra subsidies for filming, or if he could eat some small dishes for his meals.
After eating, he washed himself up and lay down on his cramped little bed to sleep, when the pair of siblings suddenly ran over and climbed onto the bed.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" she whispered.
"Fifth sister..."
The younger sister whispered even more, patting her ears and said, "We still want to eat beef steak and rice. When will you bring it back?"
"Yes, the steak rice that day was delicious." My younger brother also said.
"That's what someone invited me to eat. How can I have the money to buy it myself?"
Qiu Shuzhen was embarrassed, but suddenly thought that she had been sold for fifteen thousand yuan, and said: "Mom should be rich, let her buy it."
"We talked about it, but my mother refused and said she wanted to save money for my brother's wedding." The younger siblings said disappointedly.
"..."
She was silent for a while and comforted: "It doesn't matter. When I make money, I will buy you delicious food every day. Steak rice is nothing. I will take you to eat Western food and live in a bungalow..."
The younger siblings became happy again, and the younger sister asked: "Fifth sister, what kind of scene are you filming?"
"I don't really understand. Anyway, I'm trying to scare people."
"Ah? How do you scare people?"
"That's right, that's right..."
Qiu Shuzhen messed up her hair and covered the sides of her cheeks. She couldn't make that kind of expression yet, so she rubbed her face, made a vaguely scary smile, and hugged her younger siblings:
"It's just like this!"
"Wow!"
The cry of the child was very loud in the middle of the night.
…………
at the same time.
The lights are bright in the Great Wall Company dormitory, and Chen Qi is reading Gong Xue's letter.
The letter said that the filming of "Mom Love Me Again" was about to start, and the scumbag male lead was chosen by a guy named Wang Yongge, a student from Nortel grade 78, who was three years younger than Gong Xue, and was classmates with Zhou Lijing and Zhang Tielin.
Actors in this era generally don't like to play characters with moral flaws, because the audience can easily connect the character with the actor.
This is different from a villain, who is purely bad and is the opposite at first glance.
If there is a stain on his character, for example, if a man has a successful career, is friendly to his colleagues, filial to his elders, and good to his children, but he cheats on him, do you think he is a villain? No, he has moral problems.
Most actors nowadays don't like to play such a role.
Unlike later generations.
So Wang Haowei went through a lot of searching and chose a little-known Wang Yongge, who had filmed a few movies in the 1980s and then immigrated to Canada.
The background of "Mom Love Me Again" is set in Guangdong, because the male protagonist abandoned his wife and children and married a rich girl. The rich girl had property in Hong Kong, and later the male protagonist also went to Hong Kong.
Moreover, the culture of worshiping gods in Guangdong is relatively strong, which is consistent with the plot of the heroine kowtowing to God step by step in order to save her child.
After Chen Qi read the letter, he wrote a reply, along with a set of autumn and winter clothes bought in Hong Kong, a pair of shoes, and some gifts for Wang Yang, intending to send them back together.
Afterwards, he spread out the manuscript paper and worked on his desk as usual to sort out the work plan for this year and next year.
Chapter completed!
