Chapter 230: Filming of "District 9".
"Adjust your mentality and seize the time to shoot your scene." Neil patted Shen Lian's shoulder and encouraged. Anyone whose motherland has such a big event will feel uncomfortable, not to mention that Shen Lian can't be with his compatriots at this time. If the situation allows, Neil really wants to let Shen Lian go back to China for a few days. But the reality is that Shen Lian will be crushed to death there once he goes back, so at this time, even if he acts as a villain, he will definitely not let go, and can only speed up the progress of filming.
"I'm a professional and I won't let love affect my performance." Shen Lian said firmly.
"Let's shoot!" After adjusting the angle of the camera again, Neil waved his hand and commanded directly.
Vikus, played by Shen Lian, follows a colleague and a soldier to a black kid in a special effects suit. A black kid plays a diminutive "prawn".
After a few days of visiting, Vikus has adapted to the impact of "Prawn" on himself, so there is no need to be so hideous in his facial expression, "Prawn" is like seeing a Rippy dog to him, normal but uncomfortable to look at.
"Do you want me to shoot this little bastard?" The soldier asked, raising his gun.
"Wow~~." The black kid dropped his chain at this time, showing a frightened expression.
“CUT。” Neil is a little depressed, the other actors in this scene are in place, but it's a pity that it's on the little actors.
The person in charge of the group performance scolded and scolded, and wanted to go in to teach the young actors a lesson, but was stopped by the staff.
Fortunately, after NG a few times, the little actor gradually understood what was going to happen next. After Shen Lian threw the candy at him and shouted at him, "Hello, little one, I brought you candy." Eat it. After that, he boldly smashed Shen Lian with candy.
"Hey! Feed! Feed!. The bullet was loaded, and the soldier viciously pointed the gun at the little actor at close range.
"You almost poked me in the eye with a lollipop." Vikus, played by Shen Lian, was also anxious at this time. On the one hand, he needed to pretend to be very good at dealing with aliens, but he was slapped in the face very simply: "Dead child, I tried to be as polite as possible to you!" ”
“CUT。 Pass. Neil shouted. After filming this scene, it was time for the crew to lunch.
Shen Lian didn't speak, walked straight to Chen Hang, took the phone and dialed Yang Ying's phone.
It's almost twelve o'clock in South Africa time, and it's about 6 o'clock in Beijing time, according to the previous understanding, Yang Ying should have just finished her filming work.
After a few rings, the phone was disconnected: "Hey, Gilbert." ”
"baby, how's the situation in China?" Shen Lian asked. Although I have always read some news through the Internet, the information I get is not as effective as Yang Ying in China.
"The survivors were rescued one by one, but the atmosphere was obviously not too good. The internet is completely blocked, and you can only get information through some TV screens. Yang Ying said.
"Uh-huh." At this point in time, there are obviously some things that I am not in the mood to say.
"You're okay in South Africa." Shen Lian went abroad to film for the first time, and Yang Ying was also very worried. Especially in Africa, it is not as good as the United States, and the shape is very chaotic.
"Well, the scenes in South Africa will last for about a month, and then I will go back to the United States to make up some scenes. If the progress is fast, it should be finished by mid-July. Neil deliberately accelerated the filming schedule, and Shen Lian's good performance was an important factor in supporting his decision: "What about you, how have you been doing lately? Does the director still scold you? ”
"The scolding is definitely scolding, but it's much less than before." Yang Ying didn't brag about it, and after a month in the group, she finally honed a little acting skills. Compared with the infinite NG at the beginning, it has dragged down the progress of the crew, but at least it is no longer a hindrance now. However, Yang Ying's appearance obviously did not satisfy Zhao Baogang. The situation of the supporting role Bai Baihe made him unbearable.
"There are a lot of seniors in that TV series. Learn more from others. Bai Baihe I mentioned to you before, learn more from her. Shen Lian reminded: "I'm going to eat here, and I have to rush to start filming in the afternoon, don't talk about it." ”
Walking to the place where the lunch boxes were distributed, several supporting characters immediately covered their mouths when they saw Shen Lian coming over, and Shen Lian knew what topic they were discussing. In order to avoid embarrassment, Shen Lian didn't stop long, picked up two lunch boxes and went to his place.
""New Love" may have to be postponed." Chen Hang just got the news from Zhang Ting.
"It's normal, now the focus is not on the TV series, and the big production zuò will definitely skip the gear." Er Dongsheng chose to escape at this time, and there was no way. Even Shen Lian didn't want to appear in front of the audience at this time, with the image of an idol drama male lead.
After hastily eating lunch, Shen Lian began to read the script, and the afternoon was the last stage of the film's documentary shooting, and then he was going to put on a special effects costume and transform into a "half-shrimp man". The crew had made a picture of Shen Lian's right forearm transforming into a "shrimp claw" to show him, which really disgusted Shen Lian.
With his right hand bandaged and secured with a large protective gear, Vikus followed his colleagues and soldiers to the fast food restaurant.
Munching on the fried chicken, Shen Lian felt very satisfied. Of course, this is deliberate. No one can stand eating fried chicken on a regular basis.
"Are you sure you're going to eat these? After you've been throwing up for so long. The colleague asked with concern.
"I feel better." Shen Lian naturally waved his hand to show that he was very good. At this time, the eyes of the two colleagues seemed to see ghosts: "I think I need to replenish my energy." ”
"Forehead, head." The soldier shouted.
"Hmm." Another big mouthful of sandwiches. And black ink began to flow from Shen Lian's nose to his lips. Well, very disgusting indeed.
"Head, you." The soldier didn't have time to say anything.
"Vikus, there's a black liquid coming out of your nose." A colleague reminded.
The ink dripped onto the sandwich, Shen Lian stopped talking, and the heavy wheezing sound clearly indicated her state at the moment.
picked up the paper and began to cover his nose, Shen Lian's eyes were very frightened. His face instantly turned very pale.
“CUT。”
This scene was filmed five times, and it was finally completed smoothly. Shen Lian looked at Neil anxiously, hoping that he could get through this time. You must know that after completing this scene, Shen Lian finally returned to the normal mode of shooting movies. The character that Shen Lian wants to play will also change from a protagonist who doesn't look like a male protagonist at all to an admirable and responsible hero.
"Yes." A few minutes later, Neil gave a positive review.
"Yay." Shen Lian violently picked up Toby from the ground, this kind of documentary shooting mode is very difficult for both of them, but fortunately Shun Lì completed it. However, it is only in South Africa, and there are still some shots in the United States that need to be reshot.
