Chapter 1034: The Ghost of the Midnight Bell (2)

In the blink of an eye, the filming of "Midnight Bells: The Ghost Shadow" is about to come to an end, and the last day of filming is almost all the footage of Charlize Theron, although it is only a short three days, but for Charlize Theron, it seems that three months have passed.

In the dark room, the sound of dripping water in the bathroom could be heard quietly, and then there was the click of a paw scratching the door, Charlize Theron woke up, and shook Chris Evans, who was sleeping on the side to play the male lead, but he couldn't believe a person who pretended to be asleep......

The only sound left for the dark room was the sound of the door tickling, and a panicked Charlize Theron tried to turn on the bedside lamp.......

Cheng Xiaoyu frowned and shouted: "cut!"

This is the 6th NG, Charlize Theron's expression is a little cramped, and Cheng Xiaoyu's requirements for her are not ordinarily high, which makes her more stressed.

Cheng Xiaoyu said to the film crew members around him: "Let's rest for a while." Then he said to Charlize Theron, "Miss Charlize, come here." Although Charlize kept telling Cheng Xiaoyu that it was okay to call her Charlize, Cheng Xiaoyu never changed it.

The two walked to the corner of the suite, and Cheng Xiaoyu said with some seriousness: "Miss Charlize, it's still an old problem, your performance traces are too heavy, you must know that this is not only a movie, but also a pseudo-documentary that is infinitely close to the truth...... So essentially, I don't need you to perform. Maybe you went to see Catherine Blanchett and it became a parody, but now please forget about her!"

Charlize Theron nodded a little aggrieved, thinking to herself, didn't you praise Catherine Blanchett for her good performance, so I just went to see it?

Charlize Theron is about the same height as Cheng Xiaoyu, in Cheng Xiaoyu's opinion, God is actually unfair to that, giving her a Venus-like appearance and a perfect body, Charlize Theron in pajamas makes people unable to concentrate at all.

Even Cheng Xiaoyu was no exception, he could only take his eyes off Charlize Theron and look at her blue eyes.

Cheng Xiaoyu saw that Charlize Theron could not fully understand what he meant, so he could only say: "For example, if you are asked to play a thief now, what should you do? To imitate him? No! You have to rely on your own understanding of thieves and put yourself in the shoes of serious thinking -- if I am a thief who steals for a living, what should I do? What kind of 'me' am I? The real 'performance' comes from empathy, not superficial imitation. .....”

Cheng Xiaoyu explained this, Charlize Theron felt that she finally understood something, she said in her heart: He is much better than the teacher in the study class I once attended, but what Cheng Xiaoyu said seems to be different from what the teacher taught her, she asked: "But my teacher told me ......"

Cheng Xiaoyu seemed to see through what Charlize Theron was thinking, and he said: "Forget that you are in the study class, the non-physical acting, gender inversion, animal imitation, and so on, for film acting, it is meaningless, it does not exist - because movies are seen." Not only can you see it, but you can also zoom in exponentially, close-up, and fill it into a huge screen. So, it doesn't make sense for you to practice speaking into the air and trying to play a sexually inverted monkey. Unless you're playing a neurotic in a movie. Practice correctly, experience the character's mind, understand her emotions, and make yourself who she is, not imitate her. ”

Charlize Theron asked, "How do you get into a role?"

Cheng Xiaoyu grabbed Charlize Theron's arm, stared into her eyes and said, "Look at me! You are Rachel Keller now, you are a girl with a psychic physique, who has been plagued by ghosts since she was a child! Therefore, your fear of ghosts is not a sudden fear, but a heartfelt chill that pretends that they don't exist...... Now think about it!"

Under the tutelage of Cheng Xiaoyu, Charlize Theron finally got the hang of it, and he was not in NG.

........

Finally came to the last shot, and it was time for Charlize Theron's final test, which made Charlize Theron anxious, she began to practice her expression in front of the mirror, but she couldn't find a feeling, so she had to find Cheng Xiaoyu again and ask: "Director, why is it weird to laugh?"

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the monitor and said casually: "The smile of the neurotic is very weird, just force yourself to be fine!"

Charlize Theron was a little speechless.....

Cheng Xiaoyu took his eyes off the monitor and looked at Charlize Theron, and said tirelessly: "If you don't go crazy, you can't live! To be a good actor, you have to learn to split! Acting is a kind of sober self-hypnosis, sober personality splitting. You have to be a sober psychopath, because you have to obey the director's commands, specific instructions. You also have to be divided, because you're going to be this character. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu's words once again subverted Charlize Theron's cognition, she felt that it was okay to finish filming soon, otherwise she would really be fine, Charlize Theron recalled in her mind how a mentally ill person should laugh, and then said helplessly: "Then I'll think about it, how to laugh when neurotic!"

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded and said: "The two styles of stupidity and weirdness must be distinguished, weird is to make people scared when they see it, not the kind of threat, but evil, gloomy ......"

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

Finally, after countless rounds of speculation, Charlize Theron, the actress who painted special effects makeup, smiled gloomily at the DV machine that fell to the ground with a gloomy expression, and then reached out to snuff out the DV machine.

Cheng Xiaoyu, who was standing on the side, shouted with a satisfied look: "cut!" Then he announced: "The filming of "Ghost Record" is over!"

There was a burst of crackling applause all around, although because of the scarcity of people, there was no momentum, but the joy in everyone's heart was real, although the whole shot took less than four days, but for all the people who could participate, the harvest was huge, but there were also some regrets, the common feeling is that the shooting time is too short, everyone is a little unsatisfied.

Especially Charlize Theron, the three-day starring time is like a dream for her, although it is only a DV movie, Cheng Xiaoyu's requirements for acting skills feel as strict as taking this movie to participate in the Oscars.

In the whole movie, basically most of the NG is hers, although Charlize Theron is embarrassed, but the improvement that Cheng Xiaoyu has brought to her acting skills is also very obvious, at this time, Charlize Theron really has the urge to ask Cheng Xiaoyu to reshoot, she feels that now she can be much better than three days ago.

However, in three days, Cheng Xiaoyu completed the shooting of all the shots, for Cheng Xiaoyu today, shooting a DV movie is a bit pediatric, but the post-editing will be more brain-consuming.

In fact, what is more brain-consuming is the promotion of this movie, whether a pseudo-documentary can succeed or not, to a large extent, is not whether the movie is good enough, there is an upper limit to the excellence of pseudo-documentaries, so in the end, it will return to normal film shooting, so whether pseudo-documentaries can sell high box office depends on publicity.

However, Cheng Xiaoyu is also very well prepared for publicity, these days his "whisper" account has been in the top few hot searches for a long time because of the forwarding of a large number of supernatural videos and supernatural stories, and some very weird videos have even exceeded one million retweets.

Therefore, these days, Cheng Xiaoyu's "whispering" fan attention has soared, jumping into the 60 million mark, which is the effect Cheng Xiaoyu wants.

He plans to release the news after the editing is completed, "I received a strange videotape, which is a video tape that decrypts why the Cecil Hotel has frequent murders", I believe that such a publicity stunt will definitely make countless people curious.

Cheng Xiaoyu had already seen success beckoning to him.

The staff began to pack up their things, and Cheng Xiaoyu said happily: "I'll invite everyone to dinner!"

As soon as I heard the word "eat", the set boiled.

Chris Evans was the first to jump up and said loudly: "I strongly recommend that the boss invite me to eat at home! Miss Xia's dishes are so good....." These days of contact have made him understand that his boss is actually very easy to deal with, although he is a little too perfect for work, but it is definitely synonymous with a humble gentleman, of course, the key is that the boss's girlfriend Xia Shamo's dishes are too delicious.

As soon as Chris Evans took the lead, everyone coaxed, the meals on the set these days were all made by Xia Shamo, and she didn't dislike the trouble of carrying several large food boxes to help Cheng Xiaoyu deliver food every day.

After trying the Chinese food made by Xia Shamo, Xia Shamo immediately became the most popular and expected person in the crew, and even the glamorous Charlize Theron could not take away the light of this slender girl.

Every time Xia Shamo appeared, the whole set was full of cheers, and no one could refuse Chinese food! Moreover, Xia Shamo is still a beauty who studied under a three-star Michelin master, and now Xia Shamo cooks and has her own characteristics, combining the characteristics of Japanese cuisine and Chinese cuisine to create summer cuisine.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the group of people who were eager to try, shook his head helplessly and said, "Why are you people embarrassed? You are still not satisfied after eating for so many days? This weekend, let Summer have a good rest!"

Cheng Xiaoyu's words made everyone a little disappointed, but no one dared to really disobey the boss's meaning, so they could only continue to pack up their things honestly.

Hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's words, Charlize Theron was slightly depressed, but after three days of contact, she had a good impression of Cheng Xiaoyu, but the Chinese girl next to her made Charlize Theron, who had always been confident in her appearance, lose confidence, not that she couldn't compare, but that she couldn't compare, especially when she watched the young director in front of her eat, the gentle light emitted made Charlize Theron feel dazzling.

Charlize Theron once worked hard in this world, but for the first time she had a feeling that no matter how hard she tried and how close she was, she couldn't get the director's heart, which made her extremely disappointed.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't have time to pay attention to Charlize Theron's thoughts, and after inviting everyone to a big dinner, he returned home and began to edit the film.....
