On this day, it has been 6 days since Peng Yichen returned to Pittsburgh, and it has been 5 days since Lian Mu came to the crew.

Peng Yichen is finally ready to start filming, and he and Liam are in the rival scene.

The last remaining scene is very simple, it is the scene of the male protagonist played by Peng Yichen and Damon played by Liam talking in the restaurant.

Damon tells the actor that a city like Pittsburgh can close the city center in 15 minutes, and the interstate toll booth will be completely closed by the police in 35 minutes.

Subsequently, Damon takes all of the actor's money before leaving, and the actor asks him how he ended up getting caught.

Damon's deep answer was that he himself gave up and surrendered.

is such a simple shot, but Peng Yichen NG Liam 17 times before and after.

Today, before filming, Peng Yichen did not choose to start filming immediately, he called everyone around him and let everyone look at his monitor.

"Start playback!"

Peng Yichen nodded to Zhao Liansheng and ordered.

Zhao Liansheng immediately opened the picture of the last time Liam and Peng Yichen filmed this scene a few days ago.

Everyone watched in silence, carefully watching this incomparably short shot.

From beginning to end, it was only about 70 seconds, and the replay was over in the blink of an eye.

The scene fell into silence, and everyone didn't understand what Peng Yichen meant by letting them watch the replay.

Peng Yichen ignored the others for a while and turned his head to look at Liam.

Liam sensed his gaze and turned his head to look at Peng Yichen.

Peng Yichen didn't talk to him, and turned to look at Zhao Liansheng, "Brother Zhao, the light in filming this scene that day was still a little stronger, I need the character of Damon, after standing up, the whole face is hidden in the shadows, the face of the actor John is half-bright and half-dark, and the moment Damon walks out of the restaurant, the light on his face becomes stronger." It means that one person is going to hell and the other is already liberated. ”

In this scene, Zhao Liansheng's last shooting effect was very good.

He used the natural light outside the restaurant, so that Damon, who was facing the window, when he sat and talked about the crossing experience, his face looked very dim because of the backlight, and after standing up, although the light on his face dimmed, he could see very clearly.

And John played by Peng Yichen, the light change on his face at that time has always been a mixture of light and dark.

Therefore, in the last shot, Peng Yichen was very satisfied with the light and composition.

But he put forward too high requirements for performance, so that Lian Mu, an old drama bone, was NG by him more than a dozen times.

Lian Mu couldn't help frowning as he listened to the conversation between Peng Yichen and Zhao Liansheng.

He finally understood why Peng Yichen called him over to watch the replay.

Three shots, each of which is a full display of the psychological strength and weakness changes between the two actors in this scene.

In the first scene, Liam acted twice, because at that time, Damon in the plot, as a prison escape expert, had a far stronger psychological advantage than John, a university teacher played by Peng Yichen.

In the second scene, Damon begins to understand that John wants to help others escape from prison, and he is very hard and serious, he remembers his previous bad memories, and slowly his psychological advantage declines, and the two begin to slowly become evenly matched at this time.

In this shot, Peng Yichen NG Liam 6 or 7 times, and barely passed.

But the problem is in the third shot.

At this point, John was a staunch prison breaker, insisting that his wife was innocent, so he had no moral baggage about the prison break. It's more about a strong belief in love and responsibility.

But Damon, a prison escape expert, really entered prison because he broke the law. After he escaped from prison, he went into hiding, completely lacking moral self-confidence, let alone a reason to persevere. Therefore, he finally gave up and surrendered.

In the face of John's firmness, Damon became weak and unconfident.

At this time, Damon's performance should be strong on the outside and strong in the middle, supporting his "expert" shelf.

But Liam's performance still maintains his usual "tough guy" thinking in recent years, and in the last shot, the momentum on his body and the turn of his performance are still very strong.

This is completely inconsistent with the needs and requirements of the director and the plot.

The problem of performance, Liam finally saw in the details.

However, at this time, he still didn't have a clear idea, after all, he had been playing a tough guy for too long, and he was completely unsure of how to behave as a coward.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at Peng Yichen. I hope this director can tell himself, what should I do?

Peng Yichen saw that Liam had discovered his problem, and it was not in vain that he had been watching his performance for the past few days.

So, he turned his head to look at Zhao Liansheng and ordered: "Play it back again, I will stop when I shout stop." ”

Zhao Liansheng nodded, and then Peng Yichen motioned for Lian Mu to concentrate, "Look, you said to me, should you say something, at this time, you want to get the money and leave quickly." Here, Damon should have an anxious and impatient attitude, and he began to sense that John was going to help someone escape from prison, and he was very determined. So he didn't want to get into trouble and wanted to leave quickly. However, you are acting domineering and arrogant here, like a big brother on the road who threatens the store to give protection money. Damon is an expert in jailbreaking, but not a very strong one. ”

Peng Yichen looked back at Liam, and the other party nodded to show that he understood.

Then, he motioned for Zhao Liansheng to continue playing, and then stopped on a screen.

"Did you notice this? Damon told John to think twice about killing others. Here, Damon seems to be admonishing John, but he is actually starting to get scared. He knew that John was going to rob the prison, and that it might involve him. ”

Then, Peng Yichen asked Zhao Liansheng to stop on the next screen, he pointed to Lian Mu's face inside and said:

"And one last question, John asks Damon how he got caught. Damon thought for a moment and replied that he had given up on his own. At this time, Damon recalls his difficult years on the run, and he is equally afraid of prison and escape. This is his weakest and most cowardly moment, so his gaze should be wandering and flustered at this time, rather than the remembrance and determination you show. ”

Subsequently, Peng Yichen pointed out three or four problems with the details of Damon's performance.

If it weren't for the fact that he had entered the world of the plot and chatted with Damon face-to-face in person, he would never have found so many trivial expressions and action problems.

Therefore, when Liam heard that Peng Yichen had analyzed almost every detail of his performance so well, he was immediately stunned.

He has never seen a director who directs actors to perform and can be so meticulous.
