The start-up of "Invasion of Darkness" was quiet, without inviting any media, and without holding a start-up ceremony, it was directly launched.

It's not that Cheng Peng doesn't want to have a start-up ceremony, but the schedule of several actors in the crew is very tight, Li Binbin still has a "No Thieves in the World" in his hand, and he must join the crew of "No Thieves in the World" in late June; Zhang Ziyi's "Jasmine Blossom" will also be launched in July; Xu Jinglei has a movie to make herself; Fan Binbin has a TV series; Only Wang Luodan and Liu Shishi are relatively free.

After the staff of each group were in place, Cheng Peng, who was sitting behind the monitor, began to shout the password: "Now we are ready to shoot the first scene, please keep quiet at the scene!" Start recording! ”

"Recording has begun."

"Power on!"

"It's on!"

"Hit the board!"

"Let's go!"

The camera rack is on the bank of the river, filming Chen Ran, Zhu Zhu, Li Weiran and their kayaks floating down from the river, this is a large panorama, the strange rocks by the river, the blue waves in the river rolling, giving people a sense of precipitous.

The three girls on the kayak were all fully armed, with helmets, life jackets, and oars, and even then, they did not let out a cry of joy as they rose and fell with the waves.

Cheng Peng, who was behind the monitor, saw them getting closer and closer, and finally shouted: "Stop!" ”

After checking with the photographer and sound recorder, he exclaimed, "The first shot is over, the next shot is ready!" ”

There is no difficulty in the water play, that is, with the ups and downs of the water, rushing through the dangerous shoals, and driving the kayak to a place where the current is calm, this part of the play is completed in only one day.

The next morning, the crew was transporting the equipment, and Lian Kai hurriedly ran to Cheng Peng: "Director, something happened, something happened!" ”

"Don't worry, what's going on?"

"Our studio was stolen, and three monster masks were stolen from the studio!"

"What?" Cheng Peng's face changed, this is too nonsense, who the would steal the mask, can this thing be sold for money, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Just now, Robert, after they entered the studio, the sculptures of several monsters were shattered, and the masks were missing three, we have called the police, but it is difficult to say whether they can be recovered!"

"Is there anything else that is broken?"

"No, it's just that the sculpture is destroyed, and the mask is missing three!"

Cheng Peng's face was gloomy, destroying the sculpture and stealing the mask, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, but now is not the time to think about this, so he immediately said decisively: "Lian Kai, you go back immediately and remake the mask, can it be completed in twenty days?" ”

"You are also involved in the process of making the mask, you should know this step, if the sculpture is still there, it can be made soon, but the sculpture is ruined, you can only make it from scratch, it will take at least a month, and if it is fast, the quality cannot be guaranteed!"

Cheng Peng gritted his teeth and said: "You rush back to remake the mask, make it as fast as possible, and the quality must not be flawed in the slightest." To be honest, this prop is the most important part of the movie, and it is related to the success or failure of the whole movie. You can only give up your play, I'll find someone to play again, please! ”

"It's okay, makeup and special effects are my job, I'll go back immediately, this time I guard the makeup room every day, I don't believe anyone dares to steal!"

Lian Kai plays the role of Zhang Ziyi's husband, and at the same time has a personal relationship with Xu Jinglei, but there are very few scenes, just two scenes, Zhang Ziyi and their daughter waited on the shore when they were playing rafting, and when the three of them went ashore, they helped Xu Jinglei take off their helmets, and then were hit and killed by a car on the way home with Zhang Ziyi.

The scene that was originally waiting by the river has been filmed, but now that Lian Kai is gone, the later scenes cannot be filmed, and the previous scenes can only be reshot.

This role has very few scenes, and it is not difficult, and it does not require much acting skills, Cheng Peng immediately shouted: "Zhang Meng, you can play Lian Kai's play!" ”

Zhang Meng shook his head: "Me? In my image, when Zhang Ziyi's husband is still with Xu Jinglei again, the audience doesn't believe it when the performance comes! ”

Cheng Peng was right when he thought about it, Zhang Meng's image was indeed a little obscene, so he picked up the electric horn and said, "Have you ever studied acting, want to be Zhang Ziyi's husband, and want to have a leg with Xu Jinglei?" Hurry up! ”

Zhang Meng smiled: "I don't need others, I think you are quite suitable, your image is quite compatible with Zhang Ziyi, and you have a ** face, this role is simply tailor-made for you!" ”

Cheng Peng almost didn't vomit blood, Lao Tzu's such a glorious and righteous image was actually said to be the face of **, and he shook his head resolutely and said: "No, no, am I that old?" I don't look like a child's father when I'm so pink! ”

Zhang Ziyi was unhappy, glared at Cheng Peng and said: "Director, I'm one year older than you, am I very old, I can play the child's mother, why can't you play the child's father?" ”

Xu Jinglei didn't speak, but her face was a little unsightly, although Cheng Peng's words were self-mocking, but they sounded a little harsh to her, after all, she was thirty years old.

Makeup artist Zhou Zhou smiled: "You can act as the director, it's okay, I'll give you a little more maturity!" ”

As a director, Cheng Peng has repeatedly figured out each character in the script, what their motives are, what their purpose is, these are all imprinted in his mind, only in this way can you analyze when communicating with the actors, and when the actors encounter problems in their performances, they can give guidance, and there is no difficulty for him to play this role.

Cheng Peng's original plan was to play the monster of the cave and show his face in the movie as a monster, but now it seems that he can only change his plan: "Zhang Meng, when I shoot, you will control it, and I will leave it to you!" ”

"No problem!" It was not the first time Zhang Meng had done this job, so he nodded with a smile.

Cheng Peng changed into a costume, then asked Zhou Zhou to put on makeup for himself, and told him to be more mature, after all, he was the father of a five-year-old child, and it would definitely not work if he was too tender.

Zhou Zhou's movements were very fast, and it didn't take long for her to melt, which was not only due to her good craftsmanship, but also to Cheng Peng's good foundation.

"Power on!"

"Let's go!"

The scene depicts three women fighting on a kayak, with Zhu Zhu being pushed into the water by Li Weiran, and Chen Ran's husband pulling her to shore and helping her take off her helmet.

There are no lines in the whole scene, mainly through actions and eyes to show the ** relationship between Zhu Zhu and Chen Ran's husband, indicating that there is a private relationship between the two, which lays the groundwork for the conflict between the two in the cave.

As Zhang Meng's password sounded, Cheng Peng adjusted his emotions to the best and quickly integrated himself into the role of Chen Ran's husband.

Xu Jinglei is a professional actor, she didn't complain because she soaked in the water twice, she swam to the shore, and when she looked up, she saw Cheng Peng on the shore stretching out his hand to her.

Cheng Peng has a faint smile on his face, which looks very gentle, but the upturned corners of his mouth have an uninhibited taste, a bit of Brad Pitt in "Burning Years".

Xu Jinglei felt that her heart was a little rippling, not only Zhu Zhu's heart, but even her own heart was a little rippling, and she stretched out the oar towards Cheng Peng.

Cheng Peng took the oars and pulled Xu Jinglei up from the water, and he helped her in front of a big rock and asked her to sit down.

Xu Jinglei sat on the stone, bowed her head slightly, looked a little shy, and a little nervous, and when he untied the chin strap on her hat, she felt his hand touch her face, his hand was very warm, he was very close, and he could smell his breath.

Xu Jinglei raised her head and glanced at it, and saw Cheng Peng smiling at herself, but at this time he heard Zhang Ziyi calling her daughter, and her heart suddenly churned, and her eyes were soaked with tears.

He has a wife, and his wife is a good friend of mine!

Cheng Peng saw the tears in her eyes, knew what she was thinking, shook her hand gently, looked up and shouted to Zhang Ziyi and her daughter not far away: "Sasha, go back to the car with your mother, let's go!" Then he let go of his hand, returned to Zhang Ziyi's side, and walked towards the car together.

Xu Jinglei looked at his back, her heart was very sour, she opened her mouth, she wanted to talk to him, she really had a lot of things to say to him, but now she could only look at him faintly and walk away.

"Stop! Lao Xu, you acted so well in this scene! Zhang Meng behind the monitor clapped his hands excitedly, Xu Jinglei's acting skills are very average, but how can this scene be so good? That look, that look, absolutely amazing!

Hearing Zhang Meng shout to stop, Cheng Peng relaxed his expression, let go of Zhang Ziyi's hand, walked to the monitor and called up the footage of the performance just now to check it carefully.

Xu Jinglei sat there in a daze, this scene was completely controlled by Cheng Peng, and she was completely taken away by Cheng Peng in the whole scene, including her emotions, which were brought out by Cheng Peng.

If you want to talk about acting skills, she is a complete failure!

Cheng Peng was facing away from the camera, and others couldn't see his performance, but Xu Jinglei knew what was going on in her heart, she looked at Cheng Peng sitting behind the monitor and was stunned, this guy is so powerful, he is good at acting!

After Cheng Peng watched the surveillance footage twice, he nodded, he was also quite satisfied with this shot, but whether he could pass it still had to confirm the situation of the photography and recording, and asked, "Is there a problem with the recording and photography?" ”

"No problem!"

"Very well, this one is over! Everyone moves, we're ready to change venues! ”

Xu Jinglei came back to her senses, she felt a sense of frustration in her heart, but also a little excited, she took a breath and made a decision in her heart.

Everyone started to get busy, ready to change the scene, Xu Jinglei changed her costume and found Cheng Peng: "Director, can I talk to you?" ”

Cheng Peng was very satisfied with Xu Jinglei's performance in this scene, nodded and said, "Old Xu, don't be polite to me, what do you have to say?" ”

Xu Jinglei smiled: "Every few days, I will make a movie "Letter from a Strange Woman", I want you to act." ”

Cheng Peng nodded and said: "Friendship cameo, I won't forget it, just call me when your movie starts!" ”

Xu Jinglei looked a little proud, she felt that her idea was great: "I think it's a pity to let you make a cameo, I want you to play the second male lead!" ”
