"Ah Hu" is a very delicate film, Ah Hu and Pim, and the nun, and his daughter Ploy The three emotional lines are always intertwined in the film, making Ah Hu a character who is at the center of multiple contradictions and has multiple identities. 【Reading.com】

This also made Wang Xiaohu, whose acting skills are not special, suffer a lot, and when facing Zhao Yazhi or Miao Kexiu, Wang Xiaohu's performance was relatively natural, because everyone is the same age, and their identities in the film are couples.

"I'm her mother's friend", this is the first time Ah Hu introduced himself to the nun when he learned that he had a daughter and went to look for it, at this time, Ah Hu was still just an abstract concept of Ploy's daughter, and he was only "her mother's friend" for his identity, and did not turn to the role of a father. Ah Hu, who has just come out of prison, is a stranger to this daughter, and he has not fulfilled the responsibilities of a father by Ploy's side for so many years, which makes him not have the courage to say his identity as a father, and can only establish contact with Ploy through Ploy.

"Like me, I'm his father", he indifferently said that he was Ploy's father when he saw Ploy's photo, and only smiled when he learned that Ploy's father was written on the birth paper, and at this time Ah Hu's heart established a vague concept of himself as a father.

There is a scene about Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi driving in the complex and extravagant Pattaya downtown No. 1 block looking for ploy, the shooting plan was originally very well arranged, and the local prostitutes were also very cooperative with the starring, but when the film was turned on, many Wang Xiaohu's fans came one after another, Zhao Yazhi's driving skills were not very good, and he had to drive while talking to Wang Xiaohu about ploy, and the car was full of Wang Xiaohu's fans, so Zhao Yazhi, who was multitasking, was in a hurry, not observing the situation outside the car to avoid hitting passers-by, It's forgetting to say the lines.

So, this driving scene that appeared in "Ah Hu" for less than 1 minute took a whole night to get it, and these scenes are all easy to say, whether it is Wang Xiaohu or Zhao Yazhi's performance, after all, at this time, Wang Xiaohu has not yet had a face-to-face talk with his "daughter" Weng Meiling, and when filming the first meeting between father and daughter, the father played by Wang Xiaohu was very absent, causing many NGs.

"This place is not for you, you should be studying at your age, why don't you go back with the nun?" , Wang Xiaohu tried his best to make his eyes very complicated, and sat outside the cold drink shop and said to Weng Meiling.

A hint of loss flashed in Weng Meiling's eyes: "What else?" Didn't you take me back to Hong Kong", this was Ah Hu's first conversation with his daughter.

Wang Xiaohu opened his mouth, and when he heard Weng Meiling's resentful rhetorical question, he was suffocated, and he forgot his lines for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, and the expression on his face was so helpless and helpless, he had to wave his hand, Yuan Heping had to shout "cut!" "No need to ask, Wang Xiaohu's performance at this time has problems again.

"Brother Xiaohu, this is your sixth time tonight!!" Weng Meiling pouted and complained.

"Hey, after a few years of filming, it's the first time I feel that my acting skills are very good." Wang Xiaohu supported his forehead with his hand, greatly distressed, acting is very abstract, but in a sense, it may not be so. Some actors can interpret this scene to a classic with a small movement, a facial expression, or even a walking posture, etc., and this is the so-called basic skill of an actor. For example, people are now very popular in TVB, isn't it because they have established their status through their acting skills.

Don't look at Wang Xiaohu has filmed a lot of scenes, but those are martial arts kung fu films, and martial arts kung fu films do not have very high requirements for acting skills, as long as the action is wonderful and reasonable, it will win the applause of the audience, but this kind of literary film is an abnormal test of acting skills, Wang Xiaohu is an action actor and director, how can he have any talent for acting, and he lacks a lot of basic skills in acting.

In fact, Wang Xiaohu can't be blamed, those actors who are at the top of Hong Kong movies have either obtained a lot of bad movies and accumulated rich acting experience, or graduated from the wireless artist training class, which is difficult to compare. And a lot of performance experience is a very valuable opportunity to hone the experience, thinking of these, Wang Xiaohu's heart moved slightly, and for the first time he had the idea of going to the TVB wireless artist training class as a student.

"Ah Hu, let's finish the red bean soup first." Zhao Yazhi saw that her husband was not in a state tonight, sat opposite him with a bowl of red bean soup, smiled and comforted: "Don't be depressed, in fact, you performed very well tonight, but you lacked a kind of charm." ”

"Shen Yun?" Wang Xiaohu drank the red bean soup in one gulp, wiped the soup on the corner of his mouth and asked, "Which one is missing?" ”

Zhao Yazhi chuckled: "Well, how to say it, this scene is the first time you and Ah Weng have met, and what you performed just now is a little wooden, to be precise, it lacks a feeling that you should have as a father." You think, if you see your daughter who has been separated for 14 years at this time, you will definitely be very angry, but you have overlooked one thing, you have no right to blame your daughter for what she has done. ”

Wang Xiaohu silently digested these words in his mind, and finally sighed and said: "I understand the key to the matter, because I am not a father in reality, so I can't understand the real feelings of a father like Ah Hu, and it is the real feeling that a father like Ah Hu should have on this occasion, so that I performed very empty." ”

"That's right." Zhao Yazhi tilted her head and praised: "You take your time to find the feeling, and it should be no problem to bring this emotion in." ”

"Ah Zhi, it's actually all your fault!" Wang Xiaohu suddenly said so thoughtlessly, Zhao Yazhi blinked her big eyes and asked confusedly: "Why do you blame me!" ”

"If you had had given me a son or daughter earlier, and let me experience what it's like to be a father, I wouldn't have made a fool of myself in front of so many people today."

"Cut!" Zhao Yazhi slapped him with a smile, but her heart was like an overturned five-flavor bottle, which was very unpleasant: Maybe, maybe I should also consider giving birth to a baby for Ah Hu.

Sometimes, Wang Xiaohu has to admit that Zhao Yazhi's study of acting skills is much deeper than his own, and the reason for this is actually easy to explain, because Wang Xiaohu has a lot of monstrous ambitions buried in his heart, and if he wants to fully realize these ambitions, he must worry about a lot of things, he is more concerned about what time period to shoot box office hits, which used to be developed in Hong Kong, but now it is facing the world, the greater the so-called success, the greater the pressure on him to surpass himself, This pressure has left him with no time to delve into acting.

Wang Xiaohu looked at Weng Meiling, who was resting on a recliner not far away, and asked his wife: "Ah Zhi, why do you say Ah Weng can portray the role of Ploy into three points?" ”

Zhao Yazhi thought about it and said: "You may not know yet, in fact, Ah Weng has been looking forward to the arrival of this scene after the start-up, she couldn't sleep with excitement last night, she studied the script for a long time, and let me watch the rehearsal she prepared, I also asked her such words, do you know how he answered?" ”

Wang Xiaohu was not a roundworm in Weng Meiling's stomach, so he naturally didn't know what she thought, so he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I don't know." ”

"Oh, you're stupid!" Zhao Yazhi wrinkled her cute nose, held her chin and said: "This is going to start with Ah Weng's life experience, she liked it so much after seeing the script of "Ah Hu", saying that the ploy experience in it is very similar to her, she has not received her father's love since she was a child, and her impression of her father is very vague, which is a complex psychology that is both eager and afraid."

As Zhao Yazhi said this, Wang Xiaohu finally suddenly realized, no wonder Ah Weng was very involved when he said these words just now, wasn't that just saying what he wanted to say to his father through Ploy's mouth?

In Ploy's heart, Ah Hu's arrival gave her a feeling that she had never had, that is, the feeling of home, Ploy, who grew up in an orphanage, is now just a 14-year-old girl, and it is the age when she should enjoy the warmth of the family, which is so similar to Weng Meiling's life experience, she is her father's illegitimate daughter, she has been forced to live a sneaky life since she was a child, and rarely enjoys fatherly love, so to speak, Weng Meiling added a lot of her own understanding and knowledge of Ploy after reading the script of "Ah Hu", So as to make the role of Ploy's daughter more vivid and rich in real surnames.

"His grandmother's, I have to talk to Uncle Sixth when I go back, if I don't graduate from his artist training class, I won't act again!" Wang Xiaohu gritted his teeth and said fiercely in his heart, the expression on his face made everyone in the crew look at it and scratch their heads.

Before filming again, Wang Xiaohu called Weng Meiling to his side, "Ah Weng, tell me what you think of me as a father in this scene, I need to understand your thoughts, and then I can guarantee that it will not ng." ”

Weng Meiling frowned, bit her lip and thought for a long time before saying, "It's complicated, Ah Hu's arrival has given Ploy hope, a sense of belonging to home." Hong Kong is synonymous with home in Ploy's heart, and the subtext of 'take me back to Hong Kong' is 'take me home', but at this time, Ah Hu still can't enter the role of a father, Ah Hu's attitude makes Ploy feel that he is just a passerby, and Ah Hu is another passerby, anyone can say this to himself. In this way, Ploy suddenly fell from the peak of joy to the bottom, and his dream of having a home was shattered, and he was also disappointed in Ah Hu's father. ”

Wang Xiaohu listened very carefully, and at the same time began to brew that emotion in his heart, until he felt that there was no problem, so he let Yuan Heping shout attion, after this time, Wang Xiaohu was really in a state, and he showed the accusation and helplessness in the face of his daughter to the fullest.

“cut！ Well, that's great! Yuan Heping stared at the camera, suddenly became a little excited, and hurriedly ran over and said: "Ah Hu, your performance just now is very good, there is a taste of sudden enlightenment, which is more natural than the previous NG scenes." ”

After this rivalry with Weng Meiling, Wang Xiaohu finally found the feeling of "middle-aged Ah Hu", and in between filming, he and Weng Meiling would have an in-depth discussion on the complex family relationship between Ah Hu's father and daughter, which made him more sure of the role of Ah Hu's father.

In the noisy bar, the lights were dim and the air was muddy, Weng Meiling was held hostage by debt collectors, and Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi arrived in time.

"You owe him money?"

"Tell Him to Let You Go"

"Don't be afraid, you say."

Although Ah Hu's expression was still a little uncomfortable at this time. But the three sentences show the care and love that a father should have for his daughter, especially the subtext of the sentence "Don't be afraid, you say" is not to worry, with me, your father is with you.

"Tell him I'm your dad."

Wang Xiaohu is fully engaged in the role of Ah Hu, the kind of fatherly love he showed at this time is rich and touching, so that Weng Meiling on the opposite side did not speak according to the script at this time, tears flowed out unconsciously, she also completely entered the play, different from Wang Xiaohu's entry into the play, at this moment, she regarded Wang Xiaohu as the father with a vague face in her childhood memory, if her father stood up like this when he was bullied!

At this time, Ah Hu really took on the responsibility of his father and gave the warmth and care of the Ploy family. "He's my father", after Ah Hu adapted to the identity of his father, Ploy, who lacked family warmth, finally accepted this "depressed, like a lost dog" father, of course, at this moment, Ah Hu's image has also changed in Ploy's heart.

Yuan Heping had already shouted "cut", but Weng Meiling still didn't come out of the scene, she suddenly threw herself into Wang Xiaohu's arms and cried loudly, her voice was very sad, "Dad! ”

Wang Xiaohu was there with both hands, his eyes looked at Zhao Yazhi behind him, a little overwhelmed, Zhao Yazhi smiled like him, and then made a comforting expression with both hands, and then left with the rest of the people on the set.

I don't know how long it took, Weng Meiling's crying finally stopped, I don't know if the pent-up emotions for many years were finally vented, or if this scene reminded her of the sad past, in short, after crying, she felt a lot better.

"Wipe your tears." Wang Xiaohu picked up the tissue and handed it over: "Look at you, you've cried like a little flower cat, and you'll have to touch up your makeup later, and your eyes are red, and they're not beautiful anymore." ”

Weng Meiling wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Brother Xiaohu, I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions just now." ”

"Do you remember your dad?"

Weng Meiling nodded and shook her head, "I just feel that crying at this time is happy in my heart, not just thinking of him." ”

"Hey!" Wang Xiaohu sighed, he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to wait for Weng Meiling's mood to stabilize before pulling his costume and saying, "You're so happy, you got my clothes wet, how will you film?" ”

Weng Meiling, who was provoked at this time, suddenly blushed, and she said angrily: "You still don't admit that you are stingy, wouldn't it be OK to let Brother Zhang Yuan prepare a few more costumes?" After speaking, without waiting for Wang Xiaohu to answer, she ran away, she is now happy in her heart, in fact, she is embarrassed and doesn't know how to face it.

Another month has passed since the filming of the Pattaya scene, and in this month, everyone in the crew has worked hard, getting up early and returning late every day to shoot busily, plus the weather in Thailand is very hot during this time, Miao Kexiu's body is finally exhausted and has to go to the local hospital for recuperation.

For this reason, Wang Xiaohu felt deeply guilty, and arranged for a few people to take care of Sister Xiu in the hospital, and then returned to the crew to continue filming, at this time "Ah Hu" only completed half of the filming work, Wang Xiaohu is also the first time to spend so much time shooting a film, the increase in the shooting cycle also means a large increase in funds, in the two months since the start-up, Wang Xiaohu has invested nearly 2 million Hong Kong dollars, creating a record of more than one million Hong Kong dollars in the entire Southeast Asian film industry. (Local investment does not count as a co-production with Hollywood.) "Azhi, what's wrong with you? On the way back to the crew, Wang Xiaohu noticed that Zhao Yazhi had been biting her lip, as if she was enduring some pain, and asked anxiously: "You won't be sick too, will you?" ”

Zhao Yazhi's face was a little pale, and she shook her head at Wang Xiaohu and said, "It's nothing, I'm fine." ”

"Driver, turn around and go back to the hospital." Wang Xiaohu was willing to believe it, and directly asked the driver to turn around and go back to the hospital, Zhao Yazhi leaned her head on his arms and said, "Ah Hu, I'm really fine, I'll be fine later." ”

"You still say it's okay, you see you have cold sweat on your head!" Wang Xiaohu sighed and said with some guilt: "You have suffered with me for the past two months." ”

"Ah Hu, don't say that, I'm a normal reaction for a woman, and I'll be fine in a few days."

"What's so normal?"

"Oh, Brother Little Tiger, you really don't understand or pretend not to understand!" Weng Meiling in the front row couldn't stand it when she heard this, turned her head and said, "Women always have a few days of discomfort every month, Sister Zhi may be the one who hurts!" ”

"What's that?" Wang Xiaohu still didn't understand, and the anxious Weng Meiling gestured with her hand for a long time, and finally said angrily: "Hey! Don't talk about it, I'll forget it if you die in a hurry! ”

Wang Xiaohu scratched his head vigorously and said innocently: "I really don't know, Ah Weng, tell me quickly!" ”

"Hehe, don't force others." Seeing this, Zhao Yazhi smiled bitterly and shook her head, pulled her husband to her mouth with a red face and whispered a few words, and then said, "That's it, I said it's okay, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Wang Xiaohu finally understood why his wife was like this, wasn't that a relative that a woman had to come every month? Knocked on his head vigorously and said: "That's not good, your body is the most important, I've been nervous for two months, I'm afraid everyone has straightened their nerves, I think our crew doesn't need to film these days, starting tomorrow, let's play in Thailand for a few days, just think of the company taking out money to travel at public expense, relax your mood." ”

"Yay!" Weng Meiling clapped her hands and shouted, "I've been looking forward to this day for a long time, and I can buy new clothes to wear." ”――

There's only one chapter tonight, and I've been tired lately.
