Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Black Swan

The first time they cooperated, Yang Zhengming kept a certain distance from her, except for the crew, he rarely chatted with Gu Wu in private, and most of the time he was reading scripts or playing with his mobile phone.

And this time he seems to be very relaxed, as long as he is not filming, he often talks and laughs with the staff around him, and treats Gu Wu much more enthusiastically than the first time.

After the two became very good friends, Gu Wu once curiously asked him why he changed so much when they cooperated for the second time, Yang Zhengming smiled and said, "Don't be angry if I'm honest?" ”

Gu Wu nodded

"In fact, it is very simple, it is an instinctive defensiveness against strangers that I am not familiar with. You know in our industry, the first day I see a stranger, we have to start acting, and when we get acquainted with it, the crew is almost finished. When you first cooperated, you were not very famous, and I had only encountered that kind of thing, but it was not easy to do too much in front of everyone, so I could only try to maintain a simple colleague relationship with you, so no one could do anything. After the filming, I saw that you didn't even send a press release, let alone go on the show to take the opportunity to promote, and then I knew that you just wanted to be a good actor. β€œ

Gu Wu asked: "Aren't you afraid that I just didn't know how to be famous at that time?" ”

Yang Zhengming shook his head: "You don't understand and I believe it, but your agent is not a newcomer, and I know that you are a rare person in the circle without any action." β€œ

"So, after the second cooperation, you really treat me as a friend?"

He thought for a while and said, "Friends are meant for both of them to get along well, and I am relieved to be friends with you, and I don't think so much because I believe in you, but I don't know what you think." So ............"

Gu Wu continued: "So you don't care about it?" β€œ

Yang Zhengming nodded calmly, and then he asked a little uncertainly: "You won't be angry with me, right?" ”

Gu Yu glared at him angrily: "I'm also mixed in this circle, even if I don't take the popular route, I know that I have to take a bend in it, if you have to be unwary of strangers and don't know how to protect yourself, then your IQ can directly say goodbye to the entertainment industry." ”

Yang Zhengming: ".............................."

*********************

Shen Yucheng's directing style is completely different from the directors Gu Yu has worked with, he is not angry on the set, he will not scold others when they make mistakes, and he will not be anxious when the actor sometimes can't find the feeling, but is very patient to pull the actor aside and comfort him softly.

But if you think that Shen Yucheng is a good director, then you are very wrong, he is really not angry on the set, but as long as it is too much, he doesn't have to report to the residence the next day.

For actors, although he is more patient than ordinary staff, he does have the highest requirements for the details of the actors themselves.

If Xu Jia shoots this kind of film, he will strive for perfection in props, lighting, venues, and even shooting techniques.

But when it comes to Shen Yucheng, he has to shoot in a very simple style, and he doesn't use too many shots to set off the atmosphere, and he mainly relies on the sexiness brought out by the actors' own performances to render the atmosphere of the whole movie.

This is a very big challenge for the actors' performances.

Just a week after filming, Gu Wu encountered her biggest challenge since filming.

A filming of the heroine's inner scene when she was alone in the bathroom after losing the dance competition, this one-man scene that is no more than a minute in the movie, Gu Wu filmed for two whole days!

"Gu Yuan, you have to try to understand her! She has an extraordinary talent for dancing, and was sent to dance school by her strict parents at the age of four, and since then she has never left dance every day of her life. But after this time, for the first time, she found out that she hated dancing. Because of dancing, she lost the joy of her childhood. Because of dancing, she lost her ordinary school experience, and because of dancing, she didn't even have the opportunity to go out and see the world a few more times. So she hated her talent, and she was thinking that if she hadn't been selected for her poor performance, would she have been able to live the life of an ordinary twenty-year-old girl? A failure made her discover the truest thoughts in her heart, and what you want to express now is the inner struggle when you perceive it, it is not easy to overturn what a person has firmly believed in for twenty years, but as long as the foundation is loosened, it is terrifying to collapse. So in this monologue, you don't have a single line, but you have to let the audience see your inner struggle, confusion, fear, and subsequent surprise and awakening! β€œ

She has to keep recalling Shen Yucheng's description of herself when filming this scene, in fact, the heroine of "Black Swan" is such an excellent person on the surface and dark inside. Her personality can be said to be the opposite of the male lead.

It is not easy to bring out the darkness and negativity in a genius-level outstanding person on weekdays.

Gu Wu wanted to cry without tears here, and Yang Zhengming was not happy with that.

The actor Gao Xiang is a gangster, because his parents divorced and no one cared about him since he was a child, in order to eat without being bullied, he grew up in the violence on the street since he was a child.

But such a seemingly ruthless character is very soft in his heart, he will pay off his mother's gambling debts, although his mother has never taken care of him since he was a child, and it is common to leave him at home and starve for a day. But every time I think about the scene when she wins money and is in a good mood, she holds herself in her arms and frolicks, Gao Xiang can't leave her alone.

And after his father remarried, he gave birth to a son, and after leaving his gambling wife, he had a few years of peaceful life, but he didn't have a long time of business failure and owed a lot of debts, and ran away directly. And his wife, who had remarried, waited for half a year and saw that no one came except the creditor, so she also left her four-year-old son and ran away.

So sad that Gao Xiang could only live with his younger brother by himself. Because he doesn't care, his younger brother will grow up savagely in this dark street like him, as for what he will look like thinking about his parents, Gao Xiang thinks that it is the best arrangement to keep his younger brother by his side.

A half-sized child, with a four-year-old doll, can imagine what kind of life he is living.

In order to make a living, Gao Xiang can only follow his group of "good buddies", constantly wandering the streets and sniffing at various targets that can be started.

And the appearance of the heroine Bai Jie is a catastrophe in Gao Xiang's life, he loves her and hates her, if she hadn't been for her perjury in court in order to escape the punishment of her family, she would not have gone to prison. He doesn't go to jail, and his brother won't always be.

But it was also Bai Jie who gave him the first taste of love, and he caused Bai Jie to lose the opportunity to dance, and Bai Jie not only didn't blame him, but also hid it for him.

Looking at the pale-faced girl in the ward, when she sat tightly on the hospital bed and looked at herself quietly, Gao Xiang's heart beat violently.

"Why? Why don't you sue the police that I deliberately pushed you onto the road so that the car would crush you? I'm going to kill you, don't you know? Gao Xiang's expression was hideous, as if this was the only way to maintain his advantage under her calm and unwavering eyes.

Bai Jie had just undergone surgery a few days ago, and her face was very pale. She leaned back on the hospital bed and quietly looked at the young man opposite and said, "I did it wrong. I'll pay you back this time. ”

Gao Xiang wanted to laugh and ask loudly, but when he looked at the eyes of the girl opposite, his courage disappeared, and when he left, he felt like a deserter, and he was defeated in a battle.

*****************

There are no big scenes in the whole movie, and Shen Yucheng's scene selection is done in the city.

But even so, the progress of the whole movie is still very slow, whether it is Yang Zhengming or Gu Wu, they have lost a lot of weight during that time.

In the second half of the filming, Shen Yucheng asked the screenwriter to add a bed scene.

Gu Wu held the script a little embarrassed, and glanced at Yang Zhengming, who was sitting silently on the side.

At this time, the two were already very familiar, and Yang Zhengming looked at her strangely: "What are you looking at me for?" ”

Gu Wu pointed to the script: "The director has added a few scenes, you have received the script." ”

Yang Zhengming nodded

Gu Wu lowered her head and asked softly, "You didn't object?" ”

Yang Zhengming looked at her inexplicably: "Why should I object?" After speaking, he suddenly realized: "Are you embarrassed? ”

Gu Wu shook her head again and again: "It's not me, it's you!" The actor will definitely meet this kind of scene, and Director Shen also said that at this time, the relationship between Bai Jie and Gao Xiang has reached a kind of Cheng dΓΉ, and this intimate scene can actually express the love between the two of them. But you're going to promise you not to worry about your fans? ”

Yang Zhengming smiled: "Although I am very popular now, I really want to be a good actor." How can a good actor be afraid of bed scenes? Besides, Yang Zhengming has already said that he will not show points, and he only needs to shoot some intense movements and backs. After speaking, he was afraid that Gu Wu would not believe it, and then explained: "Popularity is like floating clouds, only the work is my real achievement." Some fans may not be able to accept it, but I have my own career plan, and I can't meet everyone's requirements, and I can only apologize if they can't accept it. ”

Gu Wu thought about the huge number of endorsements on his body at this time, nodded in admiration, picked up the script again and began to prepare.

***********

A regular crew will have some formal processes when filming this kind of intimate scene that requires nudity, and the same is true for "Black Swan", after testing the lighting and preparing it on the morning of filming, only Shen Yucheng and the photographer were left on the scene.

Gu Wu stood in front of the mirror in the lounge wearing a bathrobe, took a deep breath to calm down her nervousness, and pushed open the door with Xiaoyu after hearing the director shout.

After arriving at the scene, Gu Wu heard a noise next to her while reading the script and wondering what state to use for a while, and when she turned around, she saw Yang Zhengming walking in.

Not long after he sat down, Gu Wu's attention was taken away from the script, because she found that Yang Zhengming was more nervous than herself!
