Chapter 229: Strength is not enough

The time came in May, and with the arrival of the special effects team, the filming work of the "Ninth District" crew also began to make great strides. The part filmed before is more of the plot before the protagonist's mutation, and it won't be long before the protagonist faces a major transformation in his life.

The special effects actors all wore special silver and white special effects costumes made by the special effects team. There are more than 30 sensors all over the costume, which are used for the application of stereoscopic capture technology, and they will be turned into "prawns" on the movie screen with the production of computer special effects in the later stage. Vikus, played by Shen Lian, will also put an arm guard on his right forearm after the mutation, which is also made of the same material and equipped with the same sensor.

"We're going to go door-to-door and ask them to sign the form. The first is the EX37. Sitting in the military car, Shen Lian was subconsciously a little nervous, fortunately, the camera at the beginning was aimed at the other actors, and after saying the lines, Shen Lian subconsciously closed the list, took a deep breath, and expressed his nervousness at the moment. Shen Lian's understanding of Vicus should be a little apprehensive at this time, after all, it was the first time he had negotiated with "Prawn" face-to-face.

“CUT。” Neil shouted, and the military car stopped at random. It is impossible to shoot a movie with long shots all the time, and this is especially true for this "District 9". Especially in the first half of the movie, it is filmed in the form of a documentary, which means that there are a lot of shots, and the actors' emotions must be very in place. Otherwise, there will be a lot of flaws when the lenses are connected to play together.

"William, your expression just now is not in place, you are as nervous as Vikus. You two are MNU staff, not soldiers. "Shen Lian's performance is no problem, it doesn't mean that others don't have problems. The actor who played Shen Lian's colleague did not perform well, so he could only restart filming after apologizing to others.

"Arrived at our destination. Ready, Thomas? After the car stopped, Shen Lian took a deep breath and asked the cool officer on the side. At the moment, he needs some fear in his heart, and Thomas, as a soldier, just needs to be cool.

"Yes."

"Very good, here, let's go." There is no doubt that these soldiers are the backbone of Vikus. Their self-confidence also gave Vikus confidence.

This scene is relatively simple compared to the previous paragraph, because there are only two lines, and the camera will only explain two people, and the others only need to get out of the car after Shen Lian speaks, so it is very smooth to pass guò at one time.

The next scene of facing the "prawn" is a big challenge for Shen Lian and the other group performers, after all, it is to imagine a slightly funny person in his mind as a prawn. And all aspects of the expression should be serious and accustomed to it. It's a bit like filming a Xianxia drama in China, but obviously, it doesn't matter if the Xianxia drama is exaggerated or anything, and the movie has a very good control of any micro-expression.

Unfortunately, before lunch, the scene failed to get through three times, and Neil could only shake his head helplessly. However, the filming progress has always been completed ahead of schedule, and he also gave Shen Lian enough time to adjust.

"We'll divide this into sections, we'll shoot slowly, your performance is important, it doesn't matter how many times you do it again, the key is to improve, okay?" Neil looked at Shen Lian, who was touching up his makeup, and said. In the past half a month, Shen Lian has given him all surprises, in addition to completing the performance according to his own requirements, some of Shen Lian's small actions and micro-expressions have increased the interpretation of the character, making the image of Vikus more three-dimensional, Neil is very proud of his choice. However, the necessary reminders are still necessary.

Shen Lian took a deep breath, he opened the script again, and began to familiarize himself with the lines. In addition to his own acting skills, the careful study of the script during the previous half-year preparation period and his love for this movie in his previous life were the main reasons, and his real acting skills were not good enough to that extent. In imagining the prawns out of thin air, in fact, he has already reflected his immaturity.

Nodding to Toby, the cameraman next to him, and then smiling, Shen Lian made an OK gesture to them and began to adjust his state.

Walking to the door of a house, Shen Lian knocked on the door with a text clip with a little disgust: "Please open the door, open the door, MNU agent." Several soldiers around him also hammered the gate a few times as instructed.

"Remember to take the badge. Oh. Shen Lian was turning around to talk to his colleague, when the door suddenly opened, and the special effects actor exposed his body to facilitate filming, and Shen Lian, who had not been in place several times before, showed a frightened expression this time: "Hello, hello, hello." His voice softened a little.

"I'm Vikus Van der Mohl from MNU. We're here to issue eviction notices. Patting his chest, Shen Lian calmed down and said to the special effects actor.

“CUT。” Neil shouted, although he hadn't seen the replay yet, judging from Shen Lian's tone just now, it should be a very good performance.

Neil's judgment was very accurate, and after NG three times before, Shen Lian finally forced himself to imagine the special effects actor as a prawn this time.

"Good. Keep it up. Neil did not hesitate to praise Shen Lian.

The next filming was also smooth, and by six o'clock in the afternoon, all the scenes that had been slightly dragged down in the morning had been completed.

The time came in May, Africa also officially entered the winter, not very cold, but the temperature difference is very large, after five o'clock the sky is dark very quickly, the temperature also drops very quickly. After Shen Lian finished his role, he would always be the first to take a shower before eating, and then change into a comfortable outfit. Appearing in front of everyone again will always give people a refreshing look.

On the second day of mid-May, all attention was now focused on the mysterious ancient country in the east of the world.

The results of the major earthquake have been temporarily determined to be 7.8 magnitude, and the number of people affected has reached a rare number due to the wide range of affected areas.

"There is no need for sympathy, what is needed is understanding, there is no need for charity, what is needed is support"

This is the strongest voice shouted by China after the earthquake, and the strength of a strong country in the face of disasters has moved the world.

In addition to donating money, there is not much that Shen Lian can do. There is too little that can be changed by the power of one person. Orange Sky donated a certain amount of money in his name, and Shen Lian's fans also donated in the form of a collective like the disaster-stricken area. Even in Johannesburg, South Africa, there are people who have spontaneously donated their hearts to charitable organizations.

Shen Lian, who appeared in the crew, looked calm on the surface. Maybe it's because I knew about this incident and had a certain amount of psychological preparation. Perhaps it is the reluctance to show a soft side in front of a group of foreigners, even if they have no malicious intent.

Quietly complete his role, and pay attention to the news at any time in his spare time. It was the only thing he could do.
