The crew got off the bus and immediately began to move the equipment, set up the scene, and prepare for the shooting.

After Xu Wangqiu got out of the car, he called the drama manager to his side, took out a banknote from his pocket, and asked him to help him buy a few newspapers. Although he is now in Xiangjiang, Xu Wangqiu has been paying attention to current affairs in the mainland and reading newspapers every day.

More than ten minutes later, the drama manager put a stack of new newspapers with the scent of ink in front of Xu Wangqiu. Xu Wangqiu picked up Ta Kung Pao and saw that the front page had a large headline that read, "China Announces 12 Basic Principles for Xiangjiang." He hurriedly read it, and it turned out that in the second round of negotiations between China and Britain, both sides said their own things and did not make any progress. In this context, China published 12 principles for post-1997 Heung Kong, intended to remind British negotiators that if no agreement was reached by September 1984, China would unilaterally prepare its own proposal.

After finishing the report, Xu Wangqiu exhaled lightly, turned to Xia Meng and said, "This thing is not easy." ”

Xia Meng has been in Xiangjiang for more than 30 years, has seen all kinds of British methods, and has a deep understanding of the word "imperialism": "Britain has been operating in Xiangjiang for many years, and it is certainly not willing to return Xiangjiang to China. It's 1983, not 1883, and it's no longer the China that was bullied and insulted a hundred years ago. We will definitely be able to take back Xiangjiang, and no one can stop it. ”

At this moment, Xu Wangqiu saw Liang Chaowei coming, so he beckoned to him and called him over. The actors of the "Cold" crew all live in the actors' dormitory in Yindu, and everyone lives together to facilitate communication, enhance understanding, and facilitate management. But yesterday Xu Wangqiu gave Liang Chaowei a day off and asked him to go home. Xu Wangqiu asked Liang Chaowei to go home not to let him go home to meet his parents and reunite him with his family, but to prepare for today's shooting.

What I want to shoot today is a scene where Liang Chaowei was attacked by a mob and was stabbed in the heart and died. It is very simple for an actor to play death, as soon as he closes his eyes and falls to the ground, the character is dead, but it is actually very difficult to really play well, especially to perfectly present the state before death, which is very difficult. Because actors not only have to perform the psychological state of the character, but also the physical state, it is difficult to perform well without sufficient ability and skills.

The performances about the death of the characters can be said to be full of sweat, but there are not many really good performances, and there are even fewer performances that can perfectly present the physical and psychological states of the characters, among which Deng Chao's performance in "Scorching Sun" is a relatively good performance. Deng Chao's performance shows the character's physiological state in the face of death, shortness of breath, and involuntary convulsions of the body, and at the same time performs the character's psychological state, from the panic at the beginning because of fear, to the gradual numbness, and the final dying, the whole psychological process is very clear.

Although the character played by Liang Chaowei is not the protagonist, it is very important, and his death has a great impact on the later transformation of the male protagonist. Regarding the death of this character, Xu Wangqiu will give enough shots to film the process of his death. In this way, the actor will kill later, and the audience will understand and take it for granted.

If it were Liang Chaowei, who was forty years old, would definitely be able to act in this scene, but now Liang Chaowei is only 21 years old, lacks enough life experience, and his acting skills are also very immature, so it is very difficult to act in this scene well. Xu Wangqiu asked Liang Chaowei to go home, that is, to let him go home and buy two chickens to kill, and observe the state of the chickens before the temporary.

After Liang Chaowei came over, Xu Wangqiu didn't rush to arrange for him to move, and asked, "Wei Zai, did you go back to observe yesterday?"

Liang Chaowei nodded and said, "Observed." ”

Xu Wangqiu asked: "Then tell me, what is the state of the chicken dying?" ”

Liang Chaowei thought for a while and said: "I haven't observed it before, but after observing it yesterday, I found that it was a little different from what I imagined." The chicken's body will twitch when it is temporary, and its pupils will dilate after death. ”

Xu Wangqiu said with satisfaction: "Very good." In fact, it is the same with people, when death comes, many people's bodies will twitch out of fear. However, people and chickens are different after all, and people's psychological state is very complicated when facing death. When you act, you not only have to be physical, but also the psychological state of the character. ”

Liang Chaowei scratched his head and said with a sad face: "I have no experience at all, I haven't experienced that feeling of being on the verge of death, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to perform that kind of psychological state." I'm afraid I won't be able to act well. ”

Xu Wangqiu also knows that the performance of this scene is very difficult, especially for the current Liang Chaowei, Liang Chaowei is a natural experiential actor, and he must have the corresponding experience in order for him to perform perfectly. He had never experienced a dying state, and it was very difficult for him to perfectly present this state of mind. However, Xu Wangqiu dared to let Liang Chaowei act in this scene, then there must be a way to solve this problem: "I have experience in this matter, and I have a way to make you experience the feeling of being on the verge of death." ”

Liang Chaowei's eyes widened when he heard this: "Just kidding, how can you have this kind of experience?"

Xu Wangqiu said lightly: "When I was six years old, I went to see a martial arts, but I was hit by a stray bullet, and I lay on the hospital bed for more than half a year before recovering, and I almost died. Before that, I was a particularly naughty child. Since then, I've changed a lot and become who I am now. That state before death, I really experienced it, I really had it. ”

Liang Chaowei looked at Xu Wangqiu dumbfounded, thinking that Xu Wangqiu almost died when he was a child, no wonder he was a little different from others.

Xu Wangqiu saw Liang Chaowei's face full of surprise, and said with a smile: "Do you want to experience it? That kind of taste is not pleasant." ”

Liang Chaowei knew that if he didn't experience it, it would be difficult for him to perform this scene well, so he said: "I want to experience it." ”

Xu Wangqiu didn't talk nonsense, opened the newspapers one by one, and then spread them on the ground. The crew has been working with Xu Wangqiu for more than half a month, and they know that Xu Wangqiu will use all kinds of strange means to help the actors enter the play. At this time, when they heard that he wanted to help Liang Chaowei experience the feeling of dying frequently, they all gathered around and looked at Xu Wangqiu curiously, wondering how he could make Liang Chaowei experience the feeling of dying.

Xu Wangqiu pointed to the newspaper on the ground and said to Liang Chaowei: "You lie on the ground." ”

Liang Chaowei didn't ask why, and lay on the ground obediently.

Xu Wangqiu picked up a newspaper and put it on Liang Chaowei's chest, picked up his chair, and put it on Liang Chaowei's chest. He squatted beside Liang Chaowei and asked, "How do you feel, is it heavy?"

Liang Chaowei shook his head and said, "It's not very heavy." ”

Xu Wangqiu smiled and said, "You have done the seven forces and four senses training in the acting class, you should know that imagination and a sense of belief are the most important. Now bring out your imagination and sense of conviction, and imagine that it is not a chair that weighs on your chest, but a boulder. The boulder is so heavy that it not only presses on your chest, but also on your throat, making it difficult for you to breathe, and you have to use a lot of force to breathe oxygen. Now into this prescribed situation, you can do it. ”

After listening to Xu Wangqiu's words, Liang Chaowei began to use his imagination to imagine that it was not a chair that pressed on his chest, but a large stone, and he began to imagine that he had difficulty breathing, making his breathing become rapid.

The onlookers felt that Liang Chaowei's performance was vivid, and they couldn't stop nodding, and they all felt that Liang Chaowei was powerful.

Xu Wangqiu shook his head slightly, although Liang Chaowei's face was full of pain, his breathing was short, and he looked decent, but he knew that Liang Chaowei did not really enter the prescribed situation, but acted out. When the chest is really pressed and the breathing is not smooth, the physiological reaction of the person is not like this. Under normal circumstances, people who have trouble breathing want to sit up, because sitting up, lying on their backs will be conducive to breathing. Of course, Liang Chaowei is now playing with a big stone on his chest and can't sit up. But his body will still instinctively go up, for example, his head will definitely go up.

After waiting for almost two minutes, Xu Wangqiu saw that Liang Chaowei still couldn't really enter the prescribed situation, so he stretched out his right hand and pressed it the chair.

Liang Chaowei felt that the pressure in his chest instantly increased, he couldn't breathe, and his head involuntarily lifted up.

Seeing this, Xu Wangqiu said loudly: "Breathe hard! Force! You want to live! You don't want to die! Breathe hard!"

Liang Chaowei opened his mouth and gasped heavily, as if he wanted to suck back the air that he had accidentally exhaled just now.

Xu Wangqiu stared at Liang Chaowei for a minute, feeling that Liang Chaowei had found the physiological state when he was on the verge of death. Next, it's time for Liang Chaowei to experience the psychological state of dying.

Xu Wangqiu looked at Liang Chaowei and said slowly: "When people are facing death, different people's psychological states must be different. The character you're going to play is being stabbed by a mob, and when you have to face death because of an accident, basically everyone will be afraid. At the same time, almost all people think that I don't want to die, I want to live. At this time, people often find a reason to feel that they have to live. ”

Xu Wangqiu paused and said, "You are 21 years old now, what is the biggest regret in your 21-year-old life? You don't need to tell what this regret is, it may involve your privacy." Now all you have to do is to use your imagination to fulfill your desires and cover your inner regrets in a perfect way. Suppose your biggest regret is not having a girlfriend, then you ......"

Liang Chaowei defended himself when he heard this: "I will regret this kind of thing." ”

Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "If you don't regret this, how can you react so much." You said that you are 21 years old and don't have a girlfriend yet, so those of us who are elders are very anxious about you. He touched his chin and said, "Isn't there a lot of good girls on the Great Wall, such as Liu Jialing." Why don't I match you up?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Xia Meng couldn't help it. You are obviously about the same age as Liang Chaowei, what kind of old man are you pretending!

Unexpectedly, Liang Chaowei shook his head directly when he heard this: "Liu Jialing is very good, but she is not the type I like." ”

Xu Wangqiu was a little surprised when he heard this, and thought to himself Liu Jialing is your future wife, she is not the type you like, who is the type you like? But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered that it seemed that Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing did not call at the beginning, and the personalities of the two people were very different, but after getting along more, he found that the other party was particularly suitable for him.

However, Xu Wangqiu doesn't care what type Liang Chaowei likes, nor does he care what his regrets are, what he wants is to let Liang Chaowei enter the prescribed situation to experience the state before death. He laughed: "Liu Jialing is not the type you like, forget it, I can't be a matchmaker." Since you don't regret not having a girlfriend, don't mention it. Each of us has regrets, and it is impossible not to do without. I don't ask you what your regrets are, now you are trying to make up for them in the most perfect way in your heart. ”
