Chapter 172: While Filming is in Progress

'Fox River' Prison, 2nd floor cell.

The small cell was full of people, the staff of the gaffer, the recording studio, the cameraman, etc., plus Link, the director, seven or eight people gathered around the camera, and the obese Karl leaned against the wall of the double bed with difficulty, the camera in his hand was very steady.

Although there was air conditioning, everyone was still hot and sweating.

This scene is the second episode in which the prisoners riot and T-Bag's 'girlfriend' is killed. Schofield sat on the ground grinding screws.

Link wiped the sweat from his face, almost soaking wet.

Miller, who plays the main character, sits on the ground, waiting for Link's instructions. His prison clothes were covered with 'bloodstains', and two makeup artists surrounded him, sprayed a few drops of water on his forehead, and touched up his makeup a little, and then withdrew.

Seeing the makeup artist leave, Link said to him, "Miller, this scene may be difficult for you, but it's okay, I'm sure you can." ”

As he spoke, Link smiled encouragingly, "I said, Michael. The role of Schofield doesn't require much acting skills, but this scene is different. I need you to act out that panic because you just saw a man die in front of you, and he wants you to save him before he dies, but you're powerless, you know? ”

Miller nodded slightly, his brow furrowed slightly, as if trying to understand Link's words.

"Cry!" Link suddenly burst into a sentence: "It's very simple, you try to make the understanding cry, imagining the most painful thing you've ever encountered before. ”

"I'll try." Miller doesn't seem to have much confidence.

"Hmm." Link nodded. He said a few words to Carl, and then waved his hand, and the whole cell fell silent.

β€œaction!”

With a thud from Link fell. Miller began to perform. He hunched over against the wall, his eyes flickering slightly, his mouth slightly open, and the mist that the makeup artist had just sprayed on his forehead made Link nod.

Then Miller began to try to make himself cry, but he couldn't. The whole face of the suffocation turned red.

β€œcut!”

Link frowned and stopped, he touched his chin and thought about it, as if he was thinking about something.

Miller looked a little nervous. Because he's been ng several times. Especially seeing the crew members constantly wiping their sweat one by one, he couldn't help but feel even more uncomfortable.

Link suddenly stopped, crouched in front of Miller, and smiled at him, "You kid seems to be a little nervous, huh?" ”

Miller smiled wryly and nodded, "Seeing that everyone is suffering because of me alone." I don't feel good either. ”

"It's fine." Link patted him on the shoulder. comforted: "Do you know how many times the male protagonist of "The Walking Dead" has been ng in a scene? ”

Miller shook his head.

"47 times!"

"So much?"

Miller grew his mouth in disbelief, and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, but immediately stopped doing so, and his expression became weird.

"I'm telling you this because I don't want to see you too nervous." Link said slowly, "Also, you seem to have misunderstood what I meant. I just made you cry, not to make you cry really, but to use the state and mentality of 'crying hard'. to express the protagonist's current state of mind. ”

Seeing that Miller obviously didn't understand what he meant, Link shook his head slightly: "You don't need to understand what I mean. Just do what I say. ”

"Okay, then I'll try again."

Miller even lowered his tone when he said the word 'try,' which he had said many times.

"Hmm." Link stood up and said, "Try to create your own mood, try to think about the most tragic thing that has happened to you, just remember these two points." Nothing else matters. ”

Seeing Miller nodding, Link also stepped out of the camera again and gestured at Carl.

Miller sat on the ground and kept telling himself, "Cry, cry hard, try hard." ”

In the end, Miller really cried, tears flowed out of his eyes, and then he was about to continue performing, but immediately heard Link's laughter come over again: "Very good, very good, now wipe away your tears." ”

Miller was just saddened by the tragic memories in his mind, but hearing Link laughing hehe, he suddenly fell into a state of 'wanting to refuse and welcome'.

"What the hell are you doing?" Miller wiped away tears and yelled at Link, "I'm performing, why are you interrupting me?" ”

Link was still smiling happily, "Did I just shout action?" ”

Miller was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Link really hadn't shouted just now.

saw Link suddenly shout urgently: "Stop, don't move, that's it." Link glared at Miller and shouted, "Good, now your expression is what I want, now keep performing, action!" ”

Link's series of rapid vocalizations made Miller not even know what was going on, but when he heard the 'action' in his mouth, he began to continue to perform.

His eyes were still full of tears, and there were undried tears on his face, and he took a towel and wiped the blood on his clothes.

Then he picked up the screw and slowly sharpened it......

β€œcut! Good, don't move. ”

After Link finished speaking, he didn't care about saying anything else, and hurriedly asked Carl to get off the bed, pointed to the bottom of the bed and said, "Climb in, the next camera will be shot from here." ”

Karl wiped the sweat from his face while rubbing his aching shoulders, and smiled bitterly on his face: "Little boss, do you think my body can climb in?" ”

Link was a little anxious, because Miller's current state was very precious, and he didn't know if Miller would be able to show this 'perfect expression' next time, so he had to snatch the camera from Carl's hand and shoot it himself from the bed.

When the others saw that Link had actually gone on in person, they hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Director, let's come, you're the director, how can you do this kind of thing."

"Yes, little boss, let's do it, I feel like I can do it, just try to squeeze in."

……

The crew members gathered around and kept persuading him, but when he saw his legs, he shouted from under the bed: "Don't make noise, give me peace." ”

Link shouted loudly, and suddenly everyone didn't dare to speak.

Miller was also surprised by Link's lifeless posture, and he actually lay under the bed himself, which made Miller have to admire his professionalism.

"I have to play well, or I'm so sorry for Link's trust."

Miller swore secretly, but heard Link's voice under the bed: "Miller, start grinding that screw now, action." ”

The entire cell was silent, and it seemed that not even a breath could be heard. Only the sound of Miller rubbing the ground with a screw in his hand echoed......

When this scene was filmed, Link was also dirty, and his whole face was mixed with sweat and stains, which looked a little funny.

But everyone in the crew couldn't laugh, especially when they saw that Link was still laughing, and a strange feeling rose in everyone's hearts.

"Haha, Miller, your performance just now was very good, very, very satisfying." Link said as he rubbed his face indiscriminately and patted Miller on the shoulder.

Miller looked at Link's increasingly funny face, but nodded fiercely, and he said with a solemn expression: "I suddenly understood." ”

"Understood? Got what? ”

Link asked casually as he took the towel Carl handed over.

"I suddenly understood why you had to let me get a tattoo instead of a tattoo."

Link froze as he wiped his face with a towel, stared into Miller's eyes for a long time, and slowly smiled at the corners of his mouth.

"Well, I'm going to tell you when "Prison Break" starts. However, now that you understand, let's talk about it, why do I have to get a tattoo instead of a sticker? ”

Miller said with some seriousness: "Responsibility! He also stared into Link's eyes: "It's responsibility, you want me to understand these two words, right?" ”

Link curled the corners of his mouth and looked at him with satisfaction: "That's right, I didn't misread you." I thought you wouldn't understand it anytime soon, but I was clearly wrong. ”

He raised his hand and grabbed Miller's shoulder, with a look of determination in his eyes: "What you are carrying is not a tattoo, but a professional faith, a deep understanding of the role, and a responsibility that carries the entire "Prison Break". ”

"You've done it." Link smiled happily and said loudly, "You did it, congratulations." ”

Miller pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly gave Link a big hug.

"Thank you Link, thank you for giving me this role. You're not just teaching me how to act, you're teaching me how to be successful, thank you. ”

Link couldn't help but punch him in the back, laughing and pushing him away: "Look at what you look like, how can I be as noble as you say, others call me to hype up Master Zu, my success is all based on hype, not as powerful as you say." ”

Miller also laughed, and reached out and punched Link in the chest, "Good boy, you're really different." Hype Grandpa? It's a fantastic name. ”

The two of them burst out laughing.

And in the subsequent shooting, Link suddenly found that Miller was getting more and more different. That kind of mysterious temperament and elegant style are more and more in line with his requirements.

In the same way, there were many moments that moved and shocked him throughout the shooting.

Robert as 'T-Bag'. Knepp is definitely a first-class 'villain', this guy who has been engaged in acting since the eighties of the last century, his acting skills can definitely be called master. (To be continued......)
