Chapter Seventy-Nine: Make-up Lessons

Two days later, the film finally started shooting.

In the camera, Ling Xiaoshu glanced at Wan Jing with some disgust, then lowered his head, touched Xiao Dan's hair, and squatted down, "Mom will take you to play today, okay?"

Wan Jing's mouth showed a sneer.

Xiao Dan's black pearl-like eyes stared at Ling Xiaoshu, "Where's Dad, won't Dad go play with me?"

Ling Xiaoshu showed a formulaic smile, "Dad is very busy, he has to go to the company to work overtime to earn money......

“cut!”

Yang Zhu frowned, first asked his mother on the side to lead Xiao Dan aside, and then called Ling Xiaoshu and Wan Jing forward.

"First of all, Wan Jing, haven't you done enough social observation?"

The little white rabbit hung his head and did not dare to say anything.

"How many young mothers have you seen who have broken up their relationship look aggressively in front of their children?"

"Remember, your character's position is that the world is big, and your daughter is the biggest, so you won't let her see the slightest bit of the world's beauty. ”

"Do you know how to act now?"

Wan Jing thought for a while, then knew what the boss meant, and replied, "Got it, I'll pretend not to see his eyes for a while, and look at Xiao Dan with expectant eyes." ”

Yang Zhu nodded, "That's basically right, remember to add a retracted look, showing that you saw Xiaoshu's disgusted eyes, and then give you 02 seconds, showing an expression of controlling your emotions." ”

Turning his head, Yang Zhu looked at Ling, "Do you know what your problem is?"

Ling Xiaoshu looked respectful, but his eyes were a little absent-minded, thinking, what could be the problem with such a simple shot, is it a killing stick?

Yang Zhu seemed to see his thoughts, and sneered, "Do you think I'm picking a bone in an egg to kill your sharpness?"

Ling didn't dare, but the look in his eyes that unintentionally leaked was clearly saying, wasn't it?

Yang Zhu sneered, "Let me ask you, what is the key word of your role?"

Ling Xiaoshu replied respectfully, "Humble, numb, somewhat indifferent, moderately selfish, and with a trace of bottom line. ”

Yang Zhu snorted, "The actor is a low-level insurance salesman who is called around during the day, and he has to go to the restaurant to work and wash dishes at night, such a person, you actually look like the president who is in a hurry to hold a shareholders' meeting, what do you think the audience will think after watching it?"

"So what about the cynicism that comes from humility in Wan Jing's eyes?"

"You are a father now, what about the numbing exhaustion that still oozes out when you tried to hide when you first interacted with your daughter Xiao Dan?"

"When you hear your daughter ask why you don't go with her, what about the layering of impatient expressions that arise to hide your inferiority complex and anxiety?"

Ling Xiaoshu was dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't expect that a short shot of more than 10 seconds would transform so many emotional performances, and he immediately made his head a few laps.

Yang Zhu looked at him, his face expressionless, "I told you a long time ago, acting in movies and acting in TV are two different things, I guess you didn't do any preparation at all, right?"

Ling Xiaoshu's face turned red, indeed, he didn't feel very comfortable about this movie, and he didn't do any homework.

Yang Zhu sighed silently, "Rest for 5 minutes and think about how to act." ”

Five minutes later......

“cut!”

"Ling Xiaoshu, it's the cynicism that comes from being humble, it's not to make you angry!"

"Can you make a subtle dodge movement with your eyes when you glance at Wan Jing?"

Ten minutes later......

“cut!”

"Ling Xiaoshu, after all, it's your daughter, what about the intimacy you felt when you first interacted with her?"

"Can you gently rub Xiao Dan's hair when you touch her head, and add a nose scraping or something like that?

Thirty minutes later......

“cut!”

"When Ling Chu has to work overtime, can the tone of those words be a little weaker? Also, the anxiety shown in the details of your expression?"

"Isn't it that if I don't say it, you won't design a small action of squinting the watch yourself?"

One child......

Yang Zhu watched the video several times, his brows were still furrowed, and he sighed, "Forget it, this is over." ”

Ling Xiaoshu had already lost his eyes and slumped on the chair.

The little white rabbit walked over and comforted, "Boss, don't worry, Ling Xiaoshu used to act in TV series after all, and he was not used to making movies all of a sudden." ”

Yang Zhu shook his head, "There is one reason why he is not used to movies, but more importantly, he is now the same as Liu Feifei at the beginning, lacking empathy for this role, and if he continues like this, no matter how he shoots, he will not be able to act that taste." ”

The little white rabbit was a little anxious, "What should I do then?"

Yang Zhu thought for a while, "This is not difficult, let's shoot other shots first, and let him experience the real life of the male protagonist in the script for a few days." ”

The little white rabbit's forehead darkened, remembering his past unbearable experience, and he was a little worried, "I'm afraid that Ling Xiaoshu can't accept your special training." ”

Yang Zhu sneered, "A movie actor can't even endure this bit of suffering and sin, what kind of actor can he be? ”

The little white rabbit rolled his eyes, can your old man also be called "reasonable"?

beckoned Ling Xiaoshu over, and carefully explained his question and his thoughts,

In the end, Yang Daguan patted him on the shoulder earnestly, "Xiaoshu, this is not just to let you enter the role faster;"

"More importantly, through this role, let the audience in front of the screen, especially those who are in front of the screen, take a good look at what the real experience of Chinese people in the United States is like!"

"The province barked all day long and said that America is a paradise, and the moon there is rounder than China. ”

The hat must be buttoned down, Ling Xiaoshu nodded reluctantly and agreed.

He also called the assistant director in charge of external relations, "What kind of occupation is the most difficult and vulnerable to discrimination in the local area?"

The assistant director leaned into Yang Zhu's ear and said, "Although there is no obvious occupational discrimination in the United States, Chinese people will be more or less discriminated against in any profession except for catering." ”

Yang Zhu's face was a little unpleasant, "Then you can arrange it, let Ling Xiaoshu be the most basic insurance salesman for 7 days, and let him distribute leaflets, sweep the floor, wash dishes or something at night." ”

"Remember, tell those units and arrange the hardest, most tiring and most difficult work for them!"

The assistant director took the order and left......

........................

Without the male lead, Yang Zhu had to shoot the female lead's literary and drama part first.

Three middle-aged women, one black and two white, muttered at the dining table

A white woman said, "My husband said that there were a few more cases of mad cow disease in Gregor town, and now he's going to have to work overtime to burn the damn cow carcasses, and every time I smell the scorching stench on him, I want to vomit." ”

Another white man said, "What year in Utah doesn't burn dozens of cows? ”

"But this place is getting more and more chaotic, a friend of mine who is a policeman said that more than a dozen people disappeared two days ago, and this batch is connected, and this year's missing person has exceeded 1 person, and his bonus this year is going to be wasted again!"

The black woman said, "Yes, the business of the gun shop has been very good recently, and now I don't have a gun with me, and I don't dare to go out at night, my husband just bought a Glock yesterday, and I plan to practice shooting well, and when I meet those pigs who dare to discriminate against our black people, I will shoot him!"

At this time, Wan Jing, who was wearing a waiter's apron, looked tired, but still came to the three middle-aged American women with a tray with the most standard professional smile, and gently put the pizza and drinks on the plate on the table.

"Xie ......" A white woman raised her head, saw Wan Jing's yellow skin, frowned, swallowed the second half of the unfinished part, and then turned her head expressionlessly.

Wan Jing's slightly sideways face seemed to see the discrimination of white women against her, a trace of anger flashed on her face, and her brows furrowed tightly.

The black woman looked up at her expressionless companion, measured her body and saw Wan Jing's frowning, and immediately became angry, "You yellow pig, are you discriminating against us blacks?"

Without waiting for Wan Jing to speak, the black man picked up the pizza on the table and slammed it into Wan Jing's face......

“cut!”

Yang Zhu looked at it, pointed at the black woman and said, "The voice you scolded the heroine just now was not loud enough, and the voice was sharper, it was better to break the sound!"

Then he motioned to Wan Jing, who was still cleaning up the pizza scraps in her hair, to translate to her word for word.

Then he said to a white woman, "After you see the yellow skin of the heroine, don't be expressionless on your face, but show your disgust and rejection." ”

After listening to Wan Jing's translation, the white woman was a little angry and chattered.

Wan Jing translated, "She said that you are exaggerating like this, and the St. George people she came into contact with would not blatantly discriminate against her just because the other party was yellow, which would damage the image of St. George's people, so she refused to act as you said." ”

Yang Zhu sneered, "Americans' racial discrimination is world-famous, what bullshit image is there." ”

After Wan Jing's translation, the white woman's face turned slightly red, and she was chattering again.

"Not every American is going to have racism, she said, and as far as she knows, it's not that bad in St. George," Wan said. ”

Yang Zhu said coldly, "It's enough that there is so much racial discrimination in many places in the United States, don't forget, Utah, St. George belongs to the United States, and you represent the United States in this movie." ”

Seeing that the white woman was still blushing and wanted to argue about something, Yang Zhu was a little impatient, waved her BB, and said to Wan Jing, "Tell her, I am the director, I ask her to act how she wants, don't forget what the contract I signed with them says, if she is willing to pay $2 in liquidated damages, she can quit and not act." ”

Wan Jing muttered a translation, and the white woman nodded reluctantly in agreement.

After the remake, Yang Zhu really felt a lot better.

The little white rabbit came to Yang Zhu's side and asked with some concern, "Boss, I have read your script, there are such plots in many places, will those actors strike at that time, I heard that the United States likes strikes very much." ”

Yang Zhu sneered, "Do they dare? The contract is clearly written, if they really want to strike, I will sue them in court with a pleading, and this kind of lawsuit will be fought one by one!"

After a pause, comfort, don't you know what virtues Americans have? As long as you give money, their parents can scold you, don't you recognize it?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I would pay them 30 percent more than the market price?

The little white rabbit breathed a sigh of relief, but he also generally understood one of the intentions of his boss to make this movie.

But boss, you're really cautious, it's just that the people of the electric light magic worker have offended you, but you scolded the whole American, how big is the enmity between you?

Immediately thought about it calmly, whether he had offended his boss recently, don't know how he died by then......

..................

The night light is on.

Ling Xiaoshu, who was dressed in a cheap suit, carried a briefcase, once again mustered up his courage, grabbed a passer-by on the street, and asked in bumpy English, "Sir, hello, I am a salesperson of XX Insurance Company, are you interested in learning about our company's special launch?"

The white man looked at him like an idiot "Neurotic!"

Then with a strain of his right hand, he broke free and strode away......

Ling Xiaoshu remembered that he was a duck egg today and the unfinished visit record of 30 people, and he wanted to cry without tears.

Then he took out half of the burger from his bag, took a bite of it fiercely, and kept scolding in his heart

What kind of "hand special accident insurance" is TD, let me push this thing, do you think these people are all stars?

Also, damn Yang Zhu, took away my phone and cash on me, and gave me $3 a day, which is not enough to buy two hamburgers.

I am tired like a dog just running business every day, and I still don't let myself be full, and I have to ask about the smell of rancid water to wash the dishes for two hours at night.

You nnd,Where is this empathy for me to find a male protagonist for special training.,It's clearly deliberately torturing me!

Ling Xiaoshu, who had never suffered much since he was a child, remembered what had happened in the past three days, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and smashed the remaining hamburger in his hand to the ground......

A minute later, in this unaccompanied, foreign land, he couldn't bear the hunger in his belly, and finally picked up the handful of hamburgers scattered on the ground.

"Smack. A steel hammer was thrown in front of his eyes.

A brown-haired woman looked at him with pity, then turned away.

A huge sense of humiliation rose from Ling Xiaoshu's heart, and he gritted his teeth and picked up the steel hammer,

And then without looking back, he turned his head towards ...... Roadside burger stands run to ......
