Chapter 42
Music is a language, just as mathematics is a language, the language of mathematics takes a person into the mysterious world of reason, and the language of music gives you a glimpse of all the fantasy hearts that cannot be appealed to the surface. Xiao Yi listened to Lu Zhou's stammering for a long time, looking dazed, but oh, it's so good, he didn't listen to it at all.
"That's the second layer." Lu Zhou said, "The second layer of a character, his heart, you use music to explain this character, do you know the Tao?!!! β
Xiao Yi looked dazed: "Made." β
Lu Zhou: "This is your own song??!! β
Xiao Yi: "The original song is by Stroud...... I just, played a little bit more. β
Lu Zhou: "Is it a theme song for Zheng Changrong?" β
Xiao Yi: "No, no, no, I'll be scolded, it's not my song." Actually, I'm not very familiar with Western music, uh, I think I'm a little bit better at folk music. β
Lu Zhou said: "You play the tune again, remember?" β
Xiao Yi nodded and played again, this time Lu Zhou turned his back to Xiao Yi, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, closed his eyes, and listened to the whole song in silence.
"The second time it wasn't so shocking." Lu Zhou said, "The first time was very shocking, so shocked that I almost peed." β
Xiao Yi: "......"
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "I don't know how you can be so emotional, repeat a line so many times with so much emotion, it is my words that I have feelings for the first time, and if I want to repeat it for the second time, it will be weak." β
Lu Zhou nodded and said: "Therefore, the best stage of all plays is the beginning of the moment, if you want to perform the play well, intuition accounts for at least seventy percent, and if you feel right, it is the best play." This time I can memorize the lines, as long as there is music...... Come on! β
Xiao Yi said: "I'll play it for you again?" Am I going to put in a little bit more this time? β
Lu Zhou said, "Let's do it again." β
Xiao Yi put his emotions into Zheng Changrong again, this time he was almost exhausted, Lu Zhou looked at the script and roared angrily in the music: "I'm not reconciledββ! β
Xiao Yi thought to himself that if this scene was seen, he would definitely think that it was two snake spirits in a meeting......
The next morning, Xiao Yi drove with two bear meow eyes, while Lu Zhou was refreshed and relaxed.
"I don't think the screenwriter thought of so much when he wrote this character." Xiao Yi said, "If you tell her about the surface and the inside, she should think, 'What's this, are you thinking too much?' β
"The screenwriter didn't think so." Lu Zhou said, "It's very normal, she writes plays by intuition, and externally emphasizes her creative skills and experience, no matter how well she writes a character, it is also a two-dimensional character, and the actor is the root that gives the character a soul, derives it and expands it." The role has not passed, except for what was explained in the script, there is a blank left, but the actor has, and the actor's life has filled all the gaps in the role. β
Xiao Yi said: "Can you memorize the lines? β
"The lines are trivial." Lu Zhou said, "Let's see how the actor behaves." β
Xiao Yi laughed, parked, pulled out the car keys, and followed Lu Zhou into the set.
Today, I didn't shoot the scene of "I have worked hard for the boss for many years", but I just warmed up in advance, everyone arrived, Lu Zhou finished putting on makeup, this is the scene where Zheng Changrong sneaks into the building and steals confidential archives, usually this kind of scene gives the entire building a shot from the outside, and then cuts it into an interior scene.
The police department building is not about Lu Zhou, he is only responsible for killing security guards and stealing documents.
All around are densely blocked with light shields, and in the communication room scene, the lights shine in from all directions, and a flickering fluorescent lamp hangs on Lu Zhou's head.
In the communication room, another veteran actor sits.
The air conditioner has been turned on to the maximum, and it feels like nothing, Xiao Yi was so hot that he squatted on the side of the crew, sticking out his tongue and panting, today Beijing is close to forty degrees, and Lu Zhou still has to wear a black windbreaker, police pants, and police boots...... Damn, I'm going to die if I act like this.
Director Huang was wearing a vest and shorts, and he was shaking with a folding fan in his hand.
Lu Zhou has a shot that wants to make a drop of sweat on his side face, which is still a close-up.
Before going to the camera, Lu Zhou drank a large bottle of water, and when he went up, he was standing in the corridor, turning sideways, facing the camera.
The director watched it, no.
So Lu Zhou was smothered and sweated over and over again, acting in that scene.
It's not real with water, it's only natural sweating, expressions and skin that feels.
Xiao Yi thought to himself that this scene was really not filmed by anyone, but fortunately he didn't take the scene adapted from "Huainanzi", there was a hero vomiting blood in it, and he would rather Lu Zhou sweat and toss here than vomiting blood.
Xiao Yi casually swiped Lu Zhou's WeChat while watching, and peeked at what he said, in the WeChat group.
Lu Zhou: Brothers! I'll lend my wife to you to write songs! A song of 400,000!
Zheng Xiaocong: Get out!
Xiao Yi: "......"
For a full day, half of the filming, at night, all the visors were removed and re-dimmed, Xiao Yi was shooting mosquitoes on the side, Lu Zhou was already a little faint, and said to the director: "Take a break, Director Huang, it's too hot." β
Director Huang was not satisfied with the sweating effect, so he opened the door instead, closed the door after opening the door, and before closing the door, it was Lu Zhou's gloomy eyes, he was about to return to the place where he had worked for many years, and kill his former boss and colleagues, that look was very complicated, Director Huang said so.
"You just imagine that Zheng Changrong is a dog." Director Huang said, "That kind of fierce, dog-eyed, he has made up his mind that he can't turn back." Have you ever seen the look on a dog's face before it bites a person? β
Xiao Yi really lost to this director, Lu Zhou thought about it and said, "I understand." β
Director Huang said: "Come, let's see the situation first." β
Xiao Yi thinks about it now, and suddenly feels that the director is right, but to act as a dog, this is no longer a matter of acting skills, it is necessary to communicate across species, right?
What shocked Xiao Yi even more was that when Lu Zhou turned around, he actually came to the show!!
Xiao Yi was messy in the wind, what is this, ahhhhhh
"Click." Director Huang said, "It's still a little close." β
I think it's goodββ! Xiao Yi just wants to use the clapperboard to trap the director to death, this can't work! What else do you want people to do?
The director began to talk about the drama again, Lu Zhou listened carefully, and went up after a moment of communication, this time it passed.
Xiao Yi: "......"
There was no difference between the two at all, and Xiao Yi couldn't understand the thought circuits of these people breaking through the sky. Lu Zhou acted very seriously, Xiao Yi was no longer surprised, but the crew was very surprised, and when they spoke in a low voice, they all felt that Lu Zhou acted very well, and many people had an expression of admiration.
It must be good, Xiao Yi was expressionless while eating ice cream, and he thought with joy in his heart, he is also very big underneath, and his waist strength is also very good, and his kung fu in bed is better, but unfortunately you didn't have the opportunity to experience it......
Lu Zhou finished the day's play, and was about to collapse, after going back, Xiao Yi immediately poured him mung bean soup to cool off the heat, and he was afraid that he would not dare to be too cold, so he cooked porridge and ate it at home, Lu Zhou couldn't eat anything, drank some porridge, ate some side dishes and went up to lie down.
Sure enough, I will lose weight twice during filming, which is too hard.
The next day, Xiao Yi drove Lu Zhou again, waited for him to film, and bought some cooling stickers and put them on his body.
This time it was an interrogation scene, the protagonist interrogated Lu Zhou, in the dim room, Lu Zhou raised his head and didn't say a long line, most of them relied on his eyes and expressions, movements, and sneers, as well as short sentences. No matter how much the protagonist asks, he can't ask anything useful.
Xiao Yi has to admire this screenwriter and loves her very much, because she writes few lines, so that Lu Zhou doesn't have to get stuck.
"I'm really going to love Lu Zhou to death." The screenwriter also came and whispered, "He acted so well." β
"Say!" A supporting character roared, and then gave Lu Zhou a slap.
Lu Zhou turned his head sideways suddenly, Xiao Yi felt a twitch in his heart, thinking that he was really fighting!
"Click." The director said, "No, come again." β
Lu Zhou was handcuffed, sitting on a chair, sweaty, already soaked, the makeup artist came to touch up the makeup, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he was covered in blood, and his shirt was attached to his body, showing a perfect muscle outline.
Xin Hongkai got up to drink water, fanned the wind with his hat, Xiao Yi took the water and gave Lu Zhou a few sips before starting.
The director grinds such a shot by shot, Lu Zhouyi and Xin Hongkai play against each other, and make a judgment from top to bottom, Xin Hongkai is not popular in half of the world, and he has also been popular in Taiwan and Hong Kong before, with the decline of the Hong Kong film market, Xin Hongkai has also switched positions, and all investors are aiming at the mainland market.
The kind of ruthless, forbearant and perverted manly charm exuded by Lu Zhou is simply irresistible, but fortunately, the supporting characters are not ruthless, and they are just about there every time.
Lu Zhou said to the supporting role: "Come on, let's go through it once this time." β
Here we go.
"Say!" The supporting character roared.
Lu Zhou was slapped too much, the blood blisters in his teeth were bitten, and the blood flew out.
βOKοΌβ The director shouted, "Click! β
When Lu Zhou came down, Xiao Yi immediately went to look at his face, and Lu Zhou replied, "It's okay, is there room temperature water......
"Stomach ache?" Xiao Yi said.
"It's a little ......," Lu Zhou replied.
Xiao Yi said, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?" β
Lu Zhou waved his hand, drank water, and went up to perform again, this time the performance was better, Xiao Yi completely automatically filtered out Xin Hongkai and looked at Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou's expression was distorted and spasmodic, the scene of Hu Ying interrogating Zheng Changrong simply played the depression, pain and danger in the cell to the extreme, Lu Zhou's face was pale, with a scar, the corners of his mouth were bleeding downward, but there was a dangerous look in his eyes.
"Tell you something." Lu Zhou's lips moved slightly.
Xin Hongkai: "Say." β
Xin Hongkai looked at Lu Zhou vigilantly, and the director shouted "Click".
"Hu Ying's eyes are wrong." Said the director.
Xiao Yideng's heart was overjoyed, he could see that Xin Hongkai didn't control himself, and he was brought into the play by Lu Zhou! He was afraid of Lu Zhou, at this time, Hu Ying's feeling should be sympathetic, but Xin Hongkai felt scared and wanted to kill Zheng Changrong.
"That's a confrontation."
At the end of the evening, Lu Zhou leaned on the back seat tiredly and said: "Every movie, what you see on the big screen is a confrontation. β
"I didn't feel it at all before." Xiao Yi said, "It's amazing, it's like you and Xin Hongkai are making a move!" β
"Rivalry." Lu Zhou said, "Otherwise, what is the opponent's play?" What do you think? What you see, all the rival scenes, money laundering bad movies are not counted, it is indeed the enemy's tricks, you have to catch my play, hand back the feelings, outside the play, it is the male protagonist and the male supporting role, not in the play, they are the two people written in the script, this is life. β
"Got it." Xiao Yi was convinced and nodded.
This month is the hardest day since he followed Lu Zhou, much harder than filming TV series, he used to think that Lu Zhou could do anything, but now he is always worried, for fear that Lu Zhou will not be competent, but he gradually found that Lu Zhou seems to be more like a fish in water in the movie.
TV series rely on lines to show the characters' personalities, and movies rely on lens language, Xiao Yi gradually understands this kind of actor, sometimes he will ask the director why he is filming like this, and the director will explain to Xiao Yi most of the time.
"There's a lot of knowledge in filming." Xiao Yi said to Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou explained: "I also think that your composition is magical, the three chords walk together, and you can compose music together, how can you do it." β
Xiao Yi said: "My senior brother can, press three tones, and the three voices can be carried out together, but I can't." β
Lu Zhou asked: "Does the symphony orchestra also write like this?" β
Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "Most of them write one voice first, and then write another voice. β
Lu Zhou: "You never talk about your profession. β
"It's boring to talk about majors." Xiao Yi watched Lu Zhou take the gun while retreating.
According to the regulations, all films screened in China must not appear in contemporary Chinese mainland with guns, arms and other content, otherwise they will be banned from performance, and anti-war dramas and so on are allowed.
But "Dawn of War" is made in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong films can be taken in mainland scenes as long as they have been approved, but when taking mainland scenes, it cannot be said that this is the mainland, and the default is still in Hong Kong or abroad.
So the producer played a side game, Xiao Yi had to admire the strong wisdom of the people and the radio and television department, and was able to witness the props and guns borrowed from Bayi Factory in his lifetime.
He always thought that gunfight movies were just a few strokes of everyone with an empty gun, and then relied on the post-special effects P to go up, but he didn't expect the crew to use a modified real gun, and there were still empty cartridges, mainland actors don't like to take on gunfight movies, and there are very few gunfight movies, except for anti-Japanese dramas and Republic of China dramas, most mainland movie stars are not familiar with shooting gunfight movies.
But Lu Zhou is very familiar with it, he used to learn to act in gunfight movies when he was a miscellaneous worker in the crew and a supporting role, and he looked like he picked up a gun, and after explaining the firearms instructor for a while, he didn't need anyone to follow him, he practiced by himself.
"Give me some fun too." Xiao Yi said wagging his tail beside him.
"Play with your sister!" Lu Zhou held the gun and roared, "This can be used to play?!" Do you know how easy it is to go off! β
Xiao Yi screamed: "Don't point a gun at the supporting role if you're afraid of going off!" What to do if you go off! β
Lu Zhou immediately said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I......'m sorry."
Xiao Yi had no choice but to watch dryly from the side, and the gun instructor said, "The assistant walks away a little, don't get too close." β
It takes a week to watch Lu Zhou test the gun, deploy the firearms, and become proficient in using them, followed by the martial arts instructor and action director to design the movements.
Xiao Yi reminded again: "Will your shoulders be uncomfortable?" β
Lu Zhou waved his hand, the gun guide walked away, and Lu Zhou beckoned to Xiao Yi again and said, "Come." β
Xiao Yi: "......"
Lu Zhou asked him to stand in front of him, facing the target, booed, held Xiao Yi's hand with his big hand, and the two hugged each other intimately, Lu Zhou said, "You try it, you can aim." β
Lu Zhou looked back at the director again, like a child who was afraid of being caught unruly, Xiao Yi only felt that it was both exciting and fresh, pulled the trigger, and banged loudly.
"Alright."
"Play ...... again"
"Later, you will cause me to be fired and squid, and I can't play!"
"Bang!"
"That's it!"
"One more shot......"
"You...... Stop it! β
"I shouted."
Lu Zhou: "......"
"No bullets!" Lu Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know how much a bullet costs in the Dao Dao!" β
Xiao Yi was carried to the corner by Lu Zhou to stand, hehe laughed.
The author has something to say: come on! Run with me, boys!
