72. I really can't do it
This kind of filming is really too difficult for Feng Ranran.
She had never found it difficult to do something like this, but she didn't know what to do right.
A walking shot was filmed for three days.
Feng Ranran has a feeling that he has completely hollowed himself out, but even so, it is likely that he will not get a nod.
Next is the night drama - the scorching Gobi Desert during the day cools down rapidly at night, and Feng Ranran even feels the slightest coolness in his thin clothes. She licked her lips subconsciously.
The light shone into the distance. Feng Ranran lowered her head and squatted there, the lighter was still adjusting the position of the lighter, and there were busy staff all around, she was squatting there one by one, and there was a feeling of isolation.
In fact, before the start of filming, the agent asked her, saying that the company wanted to assign an assistant to Feng Ranran to take care of her daily life, but Feng Ranran refused. But now she regretted it a little - not because she felt that she was now at a point where she needed to be taken care of.
But when everyone was so busy waiting for her to start filming, she was squatting here alone, and she felt that she really wanted to find someone familiar to talk to.
Don't do anything for her.
Just talk to her.
There are people around her, and the crew has a very kind aunt, she helped Feng Ranran to stand up, and then handed her a glass of mineral water.
Feng Ranran took small sips of water, she gritted her teeth, and then she stood up.
She couldn't run away from it.
……
The thirteenth day of filming.
The crew moved from the Gobi Desert to a small oasis for filming.
After a day of rest, she finally returned to the city to take a good bath. She had a feeling of prostration, and she was full of exhaustion from beginning to end. The sister of the crew prepared a lot of food for her, Feng Ranran ate it in a big gulp, and she told herself that there was nothing remarkable.
Eat well and get some sleep!
She'll be resurrected for a new shoot.
But the imagination is beautiful - the reality is not the same. Because the new round of filming is even harder......
Feng Ranran looked at the director silently, and the director looked at her silently.
This scene has been played a full seventeen times, and the director is shaking his head, shaking his head, shaking his head the whole time.
In fact, Feng Ranran has been suffering for so many days in front of her, she has almost captured the inspiration, and she already has her own ideas about how to play this play.
But it's one thing to think about it, and it's another thing to be able to do it.
This scene requires Feng Ranran to jump into the muddy water - Feng Ranran jumps, but the director is not satisfied.
She had actually thought about why she couldn't pass this in her heart...... But she really couldn't do it. She couldn't break through to that point.
The director didn't say anything, the whole crew quieted down and surrounded Feng Ranran, who jumped down desperately with his eyes closed...... The moment her body touched the muddy water, she thought she was about to sink deep into the sea. The feeling of being wrapped in viscous liquid all around-Feng Ranran stood up from the puddle, she was so dirty that she couldn't see a human being.
The director didn't speak.
The old foreign man spoke.
The translator looked at Feng Ranran hesitantly, Feng Ranran wiped a handful of mud from her face, and she smiled. She was covered in mud, but her eyes were still bright when she laughed.
"Say it."
"Mr. Smith said that you always had a sense of fear when you shot this, and he said you weren't natural enough."
He hesitated, looking at the little girl in front of him who raised her head and listened carefully, he felt very cruel.
"He said, don't treat yourself as a person when filming, treat yourself as an animal, treat yourself as a beast."
Feng Ranran bit her lip, and this action made the sand enter her mouth. The bitter taste spread across the tip of her tongue, and she lowered her head and nodded quietly.
……
On the fifteenth day of filming, Feng Ranran completely collapsed. After forty-seven shots in a row.
She squatted alone in the wasteland a few hundred meters away from the crew's station, hiding next to a dead poplar tree and crying and choking.
She pulled out her phone, and the cell phone had a very poor signal - she looked at it, she looked down, and found the number.
She bit her chapped lip so hard that she struck it.
The phone waited for a long time to be connected-when the voice of the person on the other side rang, Feng Ranran had already begun to tremble when she heard his voice, her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't hold the phone steadily, and she bit her lip desperately.
The man on the other side fed.
"Ranran? Speak. ”
Feng Ranran didn't dare to speak, she was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, she would cry. She gritted her teeth, and it was about ten full seconds before she whispered into the other end of the phone.
"I really can't do it...... I don't want to shoot anymore. ”
After saying this, her tears couldn't stop, and she covered her mouth to prevent her choking voice from being heard by the person opposite.
Pei Yifei's voice was very gentle. He said.
"Feng Ranran, you must be able to do it."
Feng Ranran shook her head desperately while holding the phone, and when she heard him say this, the sadness in her heart was overwhelming. She really didn't want to admit her own vulnerability, but she just felt - why bother.
She didn't think about being an actress at the beginning. Is it really necessary to be so painful to make a good movie now?
If she doesn't film - she can still live a very happy life. You can have time to watch the flag-raising, you can watch TV at home, you can have nothing to do cooking, and in the future, you can be the boss of the restaurant you open at home, and you can launch new dishes every month......
This is the trajectory of her original life.
Instead of going to such a remote and lonely place, filming with a group of strangers; Instead of opening your eyes every day, the first thing you do is to think about how to play today's play; Instead of jumping into muddy water without bathing for many days; Instead of shooting dozens of times, I feel exhausted, but I still can't do that unattainable requirement......
Feng Ranran was trembling from crying, she was really about to be unable to survive.
The person on the other end of the phone sighed softly, the signal was intermittent, Feng Ranran held the phone and refused to let go, and then she heard the person on the other end of the phone ask her in a voice that seemed to be able to soothe her heart.
"Ran Ran, do you really want to give up, if you want to, I'll find a way to get liquidated damages."
Feng Ranran clenched her mobile phone, and her palms were densely covered with beads of sweat.
She......
She didn't know if she really wanted to give up.
She silently looked up at the dead poplar tree beside her, which still stood straight. Feng Ranran held her phone silently, and the crying in her voice could not be concealed.
"I don't want to give up, I don't want to give up at all."
"But I really can't do it."
"I can't live up to the director's requirements. I can't play this drama well. I don't think I'm really fit to be an actor......"
The person on the other end of the line seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then he said:
"Ran Ran, do you know, you are the most talented person I have ever met in acting, if you can't do it, then no one in this world can do it."
Feng Ranran choked and shook her head, no, she is not as good as Pei Yifei said, she knows it herself, if she is really so good, she will not be able to shoot dozens of times in one shot.
"You need to take a break, you're putting too much pressure on yourself."
……
Feng Ranran was still tired and weak in the next two days. But after calling Pei Yifei and crying and releasing herself, she seemed to have found a little strength to continue to support her.
She actually just needs a way to vent herself, she can't be strong like a fighter forever.
But then her filming progress accelerated-at least dozens of times in a row like before, and there were a lot fewer cases.
The director has not talked as little as before in the past two days, and he sometimes exchanges his views with Feng Ranran. This little girl is much stronger than he imagined, to be honest, he feels that his vision is still very vicious, and he was able to choose Feng Ranran to be the starring role - although he always vetoed her performance, but it was not because she did not perform well.
On the contrary, she looks very good.
But every time you deny her, her next performance will really be better. She is an actor who can constantly break through herself - you never know where her limits are, so you can only push her to the limit, and the scenes that come out like that are the most perfect state.
But he may have ignored the age of this little girl, and he pushed her a little too hard, so he would talk to her a little more now. Mr. Smith, a foreigner, had the same opinion as he had - they had talked to Feng Ranran in private.
This foreign old man, who has always been extremely strict with Feng Ranran on the set, praised Feng Ranran without hesitation in facing him. His affection for Feng Ranran, Cheng Dù, is hard to put into words—he describes her as a gift from God to the film industry. He felt that this little girl had a strong ability to express herself on camera, and her talent was extraordinary...... Because of this, he was doubly harsh on her, and he didn't want to see this little girl waste her talent.
Feng Ranran didn't know about this, her whole body was overwhelmed by a tragic feeling-she even kept wondering if she was really acting too badly, which is why she NG so many times. But after she called Pei Yifei-
She told herself that she had to work harder and try again.
If it's not good enough, she tries to make herself better.
She had a feeling of completely letting go of herself.
Two days later, Feng Ranran was still taking a new shot - she heard the sound of an off-road vehicle driving in the distance.
Occasionally, someone will come to deliver supplies on the set, and there are cases where helicopters come directly, and Feng Ranran is actually almost used to it. After the shot, she wiped her sweat, and the makeup artist came over to touch up her look.
Then she saw the car outside the set stop and the door open.
Feng Ranran didn't pay much attention to her, she just felt that someone got out of the car, and the makeup artist asked her to close her eyes, and she was about to close her eyes - but her eyes widened all of a sudden.
The man who walked over.
She was familiar.
Feng Ranran felt that she must have been too tired and hard to film, so she hallucinated, she looked at the person in front of her in a daze, she blinked her eyes many times, and then pinched herself again.
Really—it really hurts......
She looked at the man in front of her stupidly, and then she suddenly stood up and ran towards him.
He smiled so well in the sun.
That's Pei Yifei.
