Chapter Ninety-Eight
Shen Lian and Liu Yifei walked side by side on the road in Shanghai in the thirties specially set up by the crew, because there were no reporters entering, so neither of them shy away. "Do you often shoot kiss scenes with others?" As when we met in Beijing, it was always Liu Yifei who asked first. "It's inevitable that I'll shoot a few times, and I can't control it." Shen Lian is also very helpless, and the kiss scene and passion scene are indeed his weaknesses. "Take advantage of many female stars." Liu Yifei snorted lightly. "I feel like I'm always the one who gets taken advantage of the kiss scene." Shen Lian said with a bitter face. "Phew." Liu Yifei took a sip: "You really are." "Do you have any work schedules for the future?" Shen Lian asked casually. "Ah, do you care about me?" Liu Yifei asked with big eyes fluttering. "Oh, I'll just ask." Shen Lian was speechless. "Go home and recuperate for a while." Liu Yifei said. "Pay more attention to your body, you scared me last time." Shen Lian admonished. "Actually, director Ang Lee invited me to play this role." Liu Yifei said suddenly. "No, this role is really not for you. The scale is too big. Shen Lian hurriedly said. Well! Hearing Shen Lian persuade herself not to play this kind of role, Liu Yifei's eyes fluttered. I'm in a good mood. Suddenly stood on tiptoe. The red lips pecked at Shen Lian's face as fast as lightning. Rourou smiled shyly: "Shen Lian." I'm glad you said that. With that, he let him go. He bowed his head with a flushed face. Shen Lian was inexplicably kissed by the fairy sister, and his heart was surging, but his face did not change much. gently patted Liu Yifei's head, turned around and walked towards the shooting venue. Liu Yifei's coquettish voice came from behind: "Pig's head!" Incomprehensible pig's head! "Back at the filming site, a group of staff members looked at Shen Lian with strange expressions, and Shen Lian was cautious and panicked." Why do you all look at me, don't you have to do things? Shen Lian shouted at the staff. My girlfriend came over and saw such a fierce scene, so I had to kneel on the washboard when I went back, right? Tang Wei sat next to Li An and asked coldly. If it's really a girlfriend, I'll let her come to see this scene? Shen Lian asked with a smile. I thought you wanted me to explain it to her, but it didn't seem necessary. Tang Wei glanced at Shen Lian. Thank you Sister Tang Wei for your kindness, there is no need for this. Shen Lian said in a deep voice. It's a pity that Liu Yifei likes you with such a dead conscience. Tang Wei's tone was pantothenic. You can eat things indiscriminately, but it's better not to talk nonsense. Seeing that Shen Lian didn't speak, Liang Chaowei cleared the siege on the side. After the vignette, the crew continued filming, and Shen Lian was only left with the last shot scene, so the task at the scene was to learn from Liang Chaowei and make the theme song of the movie. In the previous life, the two theme songs of "Lust and Caution" were also plagiarized with Shen Lian's efforts, one "Drowning" and one "Leaves Fall Back to the Roots" were handed over to Ang Lee. "Give", Shen Lian handed the lyrics and music score to Li An, who was sitting in front, and then said: "You see if it's appropriate, if you drown, I'll find Zhang Xueyou to sing it, I'm not sure I can sing it completely, I can come to "Leaves Fall to the Roots" myself." Liang Chaowei looked at the mysterious two, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it?" Li An said without looking back: "It's nothing, it's just that I asked Shen Lian to write the theme song for our movie, it seems to be written well, but I don't know how it sounds." He scanned the lyrics line by line, and then couldn't help but nod his head, this song is indeed very well written, and he deserves to be recognized as the king of newcomers in the music industry. Liang Chaowei put his hand on his forehead and said unhurriedly: "Why don't you sing a cappella first and see if there is anything that needs to be modified." ”
"Huh? Don't. Shen Lian said. What are you going to do? No? Liang Chaowei said. I sang it a little bit when I wrote it before, and I'm not sure, so if you have to listen to it, I'll give it a try. "Shen Lian is not hypocritical, he knows that he can't hide." And I am like a fallen leaf falling back to your heart, a little melancholy and a little lonely are willing, my love is like a fallen leaf returning to the roots, only by your side......" snap pop, applause rang out. "Hehe, it's well written, and it's sung very well. The next time I sing, I must sing what you wrote. "Liang Chaowei rarely praised Shen Lian in person, and invited him to sing by the way." Okay, when I have a concert, you can be a guest? "Liang Chaowei has retired from the music scene for N years, if he can be pulled to sing with him, the response ...... "You write, I will sing when I write it." Liang Chaowei agreed to it. Ang Lee said categorically: "Okay, it's settled, and the theme song is "Drowning". The episode is "Leaves Fall Back to the Roots". Time flies, Shen Lian, who is learning acting skills in the crew, will soon shoot his last scene, considering other work arrangements, Shen Lian will definitely not be able to continue learning in the crew, after filming the last scene, he needs to go to Beijing to shoot some commercials and meet with the director team of the Spring Festival Gala. In the last scene, the black pool of the abandoned mine in the southern suburbs, the camera pulls away, and several of them kneel in front of the dark abyss, which is a black bottomless pool. Shen Lian and the others were forced to kneel on the ground, his clothes were torn, and it was obvious that there were still blood stains on them.
Although it was death, Shen Lian also straightened his waist, the dirt on his face was in stark contrast to his pale complexion, his hair was messy, his lips were chapped, and he looked quite wolf-like, but he exuded a calm and unhurried temperament, and he felt like he was at home.
Tang Wei was wrapped in a thick windbreaker, and stood beside the execution ground without any expression on his face, not knowing what was going on in his heart. And Liang Chaowei looked at the person who was about to assassinate him on the execution ground with a gloomy face, and he sat quietly in his chair, his whole body shrouded in a dark atmosphere.
When Ang Lee saw that all the actors were ready, he shouted "action!" ”。 This scene is the soul of the whole play, representing the cold film style of the whole play.
That black pool may be a foreshadowing of the dark, irrational, and unfathomable abyss in nature, and the dirty, gloomy, and bleak style of "Lust and Caution" is fully sublimated here. This is a rather complicated group drama, involving quite a lot of people, but the main ones are only Shen Lian, Tang Wei and Liang Chaowei.
A total of eight cameras and two tracks were dispatched, and Ang Lee strives to make this the soul of the whole play.
At the execution ground, Tang Wei's eyes did not panic, there was no regret, no self-blame, and some were just calm. She looked at the camera, controlling her face and eyes very well, and Li Ang couldn't help nodding in front of the monitor.
And Tang Wei looked to the left again, and happened to meet Shen Lian's eyes. Looking at each other, Shen Lian looked at her with complicated eyes, as if he was complaining about her betrayal, and as if he was laughing at his powerlessness. A look that reflects quite complex feelings, this is the expression of an excellent actor.
Ang Lee slapped his thigh hard in front of the monitor, after studying for so long, Shen Lian improved not only his acting skills but also his eye skills, and he began to know how to interpret the character's heart with his eyes. It was this look that Shen Lian played Kuang Yumin alive.
The gunshot rang out, and Shen Lian finally smiled at the end, as if affirming that her approach was a relief for them. This smile is forgiving, without the slightest hint of resentment.
As the gunshots rang out, many of the people present showed different expressions. Shen Lian fell down with a smile, and in the close-up of the camera, his pupils gradually dilated, his eyes gradually lost their luster, and plasma flowed out of his chest.
Even Tang Wei, who had good acting skills, couldn't help but show a pale face at this time, the person she had a crush on died in front of her eyes like this, her body trembled slightly, she didn't dare to turn around to look at Liang Chaowei's expression, for fear that he would see something.
The corners of Liang Chaowei's mouth outlined a cruel smile, he looked around, and then left with his bodyguard head without looking back.
Li An shouted with a pleasant face: "Stop!" Everybody get up. "This scene is indeed perfect, everyone's table xiàn interweaves a perfect match, especially Shen Lian's smile before he died, it is definitely the finishing touch, presumably different people will have different understandings.
Shen Lian struggled to stand up on his legs, and he stood motionless, waiting for the crew to untie the rope that bound him.
Shen Lian didn't care about his dirty body, hugged Ang Lee, and then said: "Director, thank you for your guidance and lessons in the past month, I hope I can have the opportunity to cooperate next time." ”
Ang Lee patted him on the back and said, "You are a very potential actor, so I am very strict with you." And your progress in this drama is the biggest in the group, congratulations. There will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future. Li An is also very satisfied with Shen Lian's efforts. In addition to taking a leave of absence because of Liu Yifei, Shen Lian put aside all performing arts activities and commercial performances, and concentrated on observing the performance of every scene in the crew. After hugging Li An, Shen Lian then hugged Liang Chaowei, who helped him a lot. "Brother Chaowei, thank you." "Haha, nothing, you have a lot of potential." Liang Chaowei said. "Don't forget to sing with you." Shen Lian reminded. "It's not a good song, don't look for me, I can't afford to lose that person." Liang Chaowei quipped.
