Click! Jin Feng, no, it was Pei Yong standing in the subway waiting lane, holding up his mobile phone in the bustling crowd, and taking a photo of the crowd with an expressionless face.

"Cards!" Liu Sanqing still shouted to stop, this is the third time he has shouted to stop.

Jin Feng looked back at him a little blankly: "Director......"

"This is the seventh time you've taken a photo of the overcrowding in the subway, but your expression is the same as the last time." Liu Sanqing waved the script in his hand dissatisfied, and shouted at Jin Feng, "In the whole film, you took pictures every day on weekdays, and it took 15 days!" We won't record all of them, but you should at least show a certain difference in each of our shoots. ”

Pei Yong, played by Jin Feng, finally found out after taking the subway many times that it was the local subway company that reduced the number of operating shifts in order to maximize profits, so that all passengers were squeezed into sardine-like carriages, and incidents such as abuse and beatings occurred every day, and they lived without dignity.

Pei Yong was furious. He decided to take a photo of this for three weeks and publish it on his blog, without saying anything or commenting, just silently expressing the pain of every rush hour office worker.

"This same scene has to be framed so many times, and each time it has to have a different expression. Director, don't you think there's an insurmountable chasm in between? Jin Feng smiled bitterly and said his troubles. When he got the script, he knew the problem was coming. Before the official start of filming, he simulated countless different expressions, but he just couldn't think of so many ways to express them, because they all have a common premise - numbness.

He can perform 10 or even 20 different expressions, but under the same premise, it is really difficult for him to derive 10 expressions like decomposition factors! The first few times he had exhausted his brains, this time he really felt that his donkey skills were exhausted.

Fu Yuan, who had also read the script, couldn't help but plead for Jin Feng: "Director, can you reduce the number of shootings?" I think 5 times is about the same. ”

"I also think this section is super difficult, and inviting old drama bones to play it may not be able to play so many numb looks." When Mu Yong saw this script, he could only describe it as "jaw-dropping", and then he was glad that he was not the hero.

"Is the script something you can change if you say you can change it? Every scene is the result of repeated discussions between me and the screenwriter, and if you can't perform a sentence, you can be confused? Liu Sanqing didn't breathe when he spoke, and he knocked the two pleading backs one after another, looking like "Lao Tzu is the biggest", "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if these expressions filmed will not be used, it is also a matter of post-editing, and it must be filmed in the early stage!" ”

"I see, director. You let me brew for another two days, this is the 8th time, and I won't throw in the towel easily. Jin Feng was very grateful to the two for speaking for him, and after nodding to them with a smile, he turned his head and expressed his determination to Liu Sanqing.

"Two days...... Are you sure you'll be able to perform all the numbness of the next few times in two days? I don't give you a two-day gestation period every time. Liu Sanqing looked at Jin Feng suspiciously, he also knew that he couldn't push the actors too hard, but sometimes pressure can also become motivation.

"Well, I'll do my best." Jin Feng has asked Lou Shiyu to push off all the personal notices for him for this scene, just to meditate on the hero's words and deeds every day, and feel more and more desperate from his every word and every little action.

"Okay, I promise you." Although Liu Sanqing has obtained the filming permission of the subway company, it is actually a very difficult task to block the crowd every day and try his best to film. At this time, he also has to think about how to shoot the later scenes first.

Taking advantage of the gap between Mu Yong and another supporting actor filming, Jin Feng sat alone in the corner of the subway station, still thinking about how to show more different numbness.

He tried many clever ways to express his numbness through the shaking of his eyebrows, the opening and closing of his mouth, the twitching of his nose, or the dull tones of his clothes. However, that technique can only be used several times, and the real difficulty is to rely on micro-expressions.

He has mobilized his eyes, nose, and ears to express his acting skills as best he can. However, the so-called numbness is that there can't be a little bit of something that makes people feel intense, and after a little while, it will be stopped by Liu Sanqing. When the director is in a bad mood, he will also be scolded.

Jin Feng believes that what he lacks now is the ability to integrate into the movie situation. He is convinced that the subway, the place where he meets the heroine, must have a lot to dig up waiting for him to discover.

The next day, Jin Feng entered the nearest subway station to his house at half past five in the morning, and stood there stunned, experiencing the empty waiting area that was completely different from when filming. It wasn't until the East turned white that the passengers entered the subway one after another.

Jin Feng stood in the corner that would not hinder the passengers getting on and off the bus, wearing sunglasses, observing everyone who looked numb. Now he is not as popular as in the past, he is a popular star who will be asked to take a photo or shake hands when he walks casually on the side of the road.

To Jin Feng's surprise, many of the passengers were expressionless, and there was no need to bother looking for them at all, and their expressions were already close to numbness and rigidity. Occasionally, I see one or two smiling at the corners of their mouths, and it's really cute like an angel.

Jin Feng was a little puzzled. The plan of the day lies in the morning, why do passengers who walk in a hurry and look down at their mobile phones show a frightened numb expression? What are their souls crying for? Look at those who are dressed in straight suits, there should be many salespeople or planning directors with lotus tongues, but when they are alone, they are still unsmiling, as if they have lost all their smiles at work and can no longer smile in life.

Isn't it also a kind of numbness to walk without squinting and not caring about anyone? Jin Feng suddenly opened his mind, the so-called numbness is really not only the way he has performed!

If you let the mood naturally manifest on your face, you can actually have many different numb expressions, including indifferent and inorganic rolling of your eyes, staring at the equally dull crowd outside the car window, and showing disdain at the colorful advertising boards......

Jin Feng stayed in the subway for two whole days, feeling all kinds of numb crowds, seeing the men and women who were laughing numbly and sitting numbly, and he finally understood how to deal with the future performances.

At 22:30 in the evening, after the crowd of the last train, Jin Feng slowly followed the flow of people, and the look on his face was the numbness after the excitement.

"Brother, your shoelaces are scattered." A little girl refused her mother's hand-holding, walked up to Jin Feng alone, and reminded him with a sweet smile.

"Oh, thank you." Jin Feng smiled, squatted down and began to tie his shoes.

"Baby, stay away from him when you see people wearing sunglasses in the future." The mother whispered to her baby, her voice was very soft, but it was still heard by Jin Feng.

He stood up with a wry smile, not intending to explain anything. In such a brightly lit subway station, he is indeed the only one wearing sunglasses, which looks particularly abrupt and weird.

"Is my brother a bad guy?" The little girl staggered up to him, looked up, and asked innocently.

The mother rushed over in a panic and tried to drag her daughter away with an apologetic face.

"My brother is not a bad person, but you have to listen to your mother." Jin Feng smiled and beckoned to the little girl who was going away.

"Brother who likes to laugh." The little girl said something unclear, and waved her little hand at Jin Feng in her mother's arms, "Goodbye, brother." ”

Jin Feng touched his face, people really prefer smiling faces to numb looks. But why can't adults do what children understand?
