Chapter 194: Illness
The lead actor and the director reached a consensus, and the shooting went extremely smoothly.
Gan Jing is a young man, the male protagonist is a middle-aged man who is the father of two children, and everyone knew that this would be a big challenge before filming started, but unexpectedly, Gan Jing's state during the filming shocked everyone in the crew.
Director Iñárritu is the one in control, because this factor is more and more confident in the final cut.
The overall atmosphere of "Beauty Mistake" is dark and gloomy, and the protagonist is lonely and depressed, and in this background, Ukbauer's responsibility and kindness to children and others are more and more like a candle in the dark.
Although faint, it is clearly visible.
However, such visibility can only continue for two months, and it has to be said that it is really cruel.
As the performance became better and better, Gan Jing gradually became a little silent after filming, and the first person to find out that his condition was not right was not the people around him, but Hao Rong, who communicated with him almost every day.
The curriculum of Chinese opera is not too tight, but Hao Rong has a lot to do as the head of the department.
In order to communicate with a group of students on the set of internships, Hao Rong interrupted contact with Gan Jing for a few days, and when he re-videod, it was the evening in Barcelona.
"Gan Jing?"
Hao Rong's video request took a long time to get a response, the video on the screen turned on, the room opposite was already a little familiar with the lights on, and the scene of Gan Jing sitting on the edge of the bed was a little blurry.
"Hmm. After the attenuation of the Internet, Gan Jing's voice was a little fluctuating.
Frowning, Hao Rong felt that something was wrong, but still asked as usual: "Has the filming gone well in the last few days? Looking at the script, your filming progress is quite fast." ”
Originally, a young man was used, and Iñárritu was ready to polish it carefully, but Gan Jing's unexpected hot state caught everyone off guard, and sometimes some remakes turned out to be because others were not prepared enough.
Among them, Luo Jin's performance in particular is not too standard.
"yes, this week will probably be over. Gan Jing's voice was a little low, and he turned his face sideways, and his expression was a little indescribably painful.
Hao Rong paused, first congratulated Gan Jing on his progress, and then said as if unintentionally: "I enlightened a student yesterday" - this is made up by him, "He is more involved in acting, and sometimes he can't tell the difference between inside and outside the play, I am quite optimistic about him." Such students are often able to perform. But I also told him. ”
Staring at the image on the screen seriously, Hao Rong put his voice soft, and said like an elder: "Drama is like life, drama is like life, this is right." The reverse is not good, life is not a drama. ”
"We actors must have an anchor point, and we must be able to stop and return to reality after a play. Every actor has to find his own point. ”
Gan Jing finally had some expression, smiled, and did not break Hao Rong's kindness, but he was very grateful: "Teacher Hao, I'm fine." ”
"That's good. When you return home after filming, my friend here sent me a few bottles of good wine. Wait for you to taste it, if you don't come, I won't open it. Hao Rong did not directly persuade and guided from the side.
Gan Jing nodded and hung up the video.
In the study, Hao Rong frowned at the computer screen, got up and walked to the door and shouted to his wife: "Wife, wife, you find someone to buy me a few bottles of Moutai, I will use it after a while." ”
"Good. Know, drink, drink, know. ”
Hao Rong smiled slightly, returned to the study, and pondered how to explain Gan Jing in person in a few days.
He felt that Gan Jing probably encountered the problems that many actors would encounter, he was too deep in the play, and he was a little depressed - the script of "Beautiful Mistake" was on the desk, and Hao Rong knew how depressing this book was.
Life and death, suffering, tragedy, responsibility, these are entangled, but Ukbauer's heart is a little delicate and sensitive, and it is really a difficult role.
However, it shouldn't be much of a problem just to make such a film, Hao Rong made a judgment like this, thought for a while and began to deal with other things.
However, things are not as Hao Rong thinks.
Gan Jing's condition is much more serious.
What he endured was not only the emotions of the characters in the script of "Beautiful Mistake", but also the ups and downs of "Farewell My Concubine".
In order to act in this drama well, Gan Jing has been substituted into Leslie Cheung's pinnacle work in addition to filming, compared with realistic shooting, this kind of original investment is more troublesome.
Hao Rong warned Gan Jing before that drama is like life, but life is not a play.
However, in "Farewell My Concubine", Cheng Dieyi is a character who can't distinguish between drama and life, and finally dies and kills himself.
Cheng Dieyi's sadness, slenderness, and sensitivity are better than Ukbauer's, and it is difficult for anyone to escape under the transformation of the great era.
If you don't go crazy, you won't survive, Cheng Dieyi is crazy and has become a generation of artists.
Gan Jing is also crazy, and the performance of "Beautiful Mistake" is very smooth.
All the people in the crew who have seen his performance are convinced, the powerful and precise control, the pathos and rich and difficult to pour out emotions, and the respectful performance makes people have nothing to say.
In particular, the two actors from China, Cheng Taishen and Luo Jin, felt more deeply.
Cheng Taishen is better, as an actor who often mixes in the art circle, he watched Gan Jing's "Mei Lanfang" at the beginning, but he was surprised that Gan Jing's progress was so great, and it was faintly a feeling of bringing people to life.
By analogy, he has hardly seen such a role performance in recent years.
However, because it is a foreign film after all, although he participated, Cheng Taishen still watched it with an appreciative eye.
Luo Jin is not.
The initial disbelief and little jealousy have long disappeared without a trace, and in this play he is not complicated, playing the role of a homosexual, and by the way, showing off his figure in a shot - this is something he should be proud of and proud of.
But this originally proud advantage was shattered in front of Gan Jing's acting skills, and he couldn't even find the scum.
In the rivalry with Gan Jing, Luo Jin sometimes felt that the person standing in front of him was not the young Gan Jing of China at all, but the Ukbauer who was oppressed by life, life and death, and the environment.
It's a more and more frustrating perception, but it also really motivates young people.
Luo Jin really thinks of himself as a young man at the moment, and does not treat the other party as a young man - perhaps this is due to the comfort brought by makeup technology.
In any case, Luo Jin, who was born in Beiying, made up his mind to take the acting route after returning to China, not the vase beauty route.
In his thoughts, "American Mistake" was quietly completed in a state of speed.
December 31 happens to be the day of the Gregorian calendar year.
