Chapter 420: Waves

In the quiet repair shop, Xu Zhen quickly removed the front wheel of the motorcycle, glanced at Chen Zhenghao squatting in the corner from time to time, pouted, and had a bit of banter in his eyes.

Chen Zhenghao was doing "needlework" at this time.

He spread the poster on his lap, lowered his head, and sewed the torn cut in the poster stitch by stitch.

After sewing, he tied a knot, bit the thread off with his teeth, and carefully tucked the needle into a palm-sized sewing kit.

The appearance of the rough man with this set of skillful movements looks funny and inexplicably sad.

"Whew!"

After a while, Chen Zhenghao stood up and shook off the poster in his hand, wanting to see the effect of the sewing.

Xu Zhen, who was not far away, subconsciously followed the prestige, but when he saw the content on the poster, his expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

- This poster has a picture of a little boy printed on it.

The boy was about two or three years old, with dark, sparkling eyes, and two blush on his cheeks, a little rustic.

And under the photo, there are two dazzling big red letters: Xunzi.

Xu Zhen squatted next to the motorcycle, staring at this photo, and subconsciously stopped repairing the motorcycle in his hand.

"This is your son?" He raised his chin and asked Chen Zhenghao.

Chen Zhenghao raised his head a little sluggishly, and let out a "hmm" with a wooden expression.

Xu Zhen asked, "When did you lose it?" ”

Chen Zhenghao's expression darkened, slowly rolled up the poster in his hand, and said in a low voice: "It's been 15 years." ”

"It's been 15 years, and you're still looking for it?" Xu Zhen asked in amazement.

Chen Zhenghao pursed his lips and did not squeak.

After a brief conversation, silence returned to the repair shop.

Xu Zhen continued to repair his motorcycle, while Chen Zhenghao put his hand into his bag, opened a small bag, and counted the money one by one.

One hundred, fifty, ten, five......

He clumsily flattened the banknotes one by one, counted and counted, and finally raised his head hesitantly, and said in a hoarse voice: "That, master, it's not enough for 300 yuan...... Worse than 28, okay? ”

Hearing this, Xu Zhen stopped his movements again.

He looked at the scattered banknotes in Chen Zhenghao's hand and asked, "Do you have this money with you?" ”

As he spoke, he raised his head, looked into Chen Zhenghao's eyes, and said, "Give it all to me, so what have you eaten and slept in the past two days?" ”

Chen Zhenghao hung his head, licked his chapped lips, and was speechless.

Xu Zhen looked at his expression, his heart was sour, and he said softly: "Sensei." ”

"It's a good deed of mine every day."

Hearing this, Chen Zhenghao's eyes flickered slightly.

He bent his back, folded his hands, bowed to Xu Zhen in thanks, and smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you, master, thank you......"

"A good man has a safe life!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The dialogue in the repair shop is simple and rustic, and there is nothing special about the two actors.

But on the sidelines, everyone, including Peng Siyuan, the original author of "Lost Orphans", couldn't help but be amazed.

- Chen Zhenghao's performance is really surprising.

In front of the camera, he is humble, wooden, and embarrassed, really like the migrant worker "Lei Zekuan" who lost his child and traveled all over the mountains and rivers.

If it weren't for someone who was particularly familiar with him, he would be a little unrecognizable at first glance, this dark, thin, cowering middle-aged man would be the same person as the radiant and free-spirited Zhuge Liang.

And Xu Zhen's performance in this scene also did not disappoint.

Compared with Chen Zhenghao, the "Zeng Shuai" he played is not so subversive compared to himself, but after the whole scene, Xu Zhen's emotional points are almost the same.

When Chen Zhenghao first entered the store, Xu Zhen's attitude was lazy, philistine, and even a little disdainful.

He obviously looked down on this shabby uncle on a broken motorcycle, and his attitude was extremely impatient to hear him bargain with him.

When Chen Zhenghao squatted in the corner to mend the seams, this sense of disdain reached its peak.

This disdain of 50 steps and 100 steps of laughter easily depicts the arrogance of the cheeks of a poor "small-town youth".

However, Xu Zhen's attitude changed the moment Chen Zhenghao unfurled the flag.

When he saw the uncle take out a stack of money, he didn't care about his own income, but about what the other party gave him money, what to eat and what to live.

He didn't have the money to repair his motorcycle, and he laughed and said that he "did a good deed every day".

- This is not a good man, he was just touched by this father who is thousands of miles away.

This kind of good deeds of ordinary people can move people's hearts more than noble morality.

And the real breaking point of this scene came after the motorcycle was repaired.

Xu Zhen watched Chen Zhenghao push the motorcycle and leave the shop, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but chase out.

"Uncle!"

He shouted at Chen Zhenghao's back: "Wait a minute! ”

Chen Zhenghao stopped, and turned his head a little slowly, with some doubts in his eyes.

Xu Zhen stared into his eyes and asked, "After so many years, why are you still looking for it?" Why can't you look ahead? ”

Chen Zhenghao shook his head and said, "Adults can look forward, children can't, children can only wait in place." ”

"So I'm still looking."

Xu Zhen was slightly stunned, and after a while, he finally smiled and said, "Uncle, I wish you good luck." ”

A rare smile also appeared in Chen Zhenghao's eyes, and he said, "Thank you, I wish you a prosperous business." ”

……

This shot in the repair shop went very well.

This is the first scene of the two meeting in the movie, and the state of the two actors is very accurate, which perfectly meets the requirements of the producer.

By eight o'clock in the evening, the filming of the whole scene had been completed.

After the play, Chen Zhenghao patted Xu Zhen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's a great act." ”

Xu Zhen grinned, not presumptuous, but calculated how to shoot the next scene.

In the performance just now, he was shocked by Brother Hao's performance.

Every great actor has his own strengths, and Chen Zhenghao's best thing is to grasp the characteristics of the character.

His performance is relatively calm and restrained, and the subtleties are extremely skillful, and he can often bring a character to life from the bones.

It is difficult to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, it is easy to look like it, but it is difficult to look like it.

Xu Zhen had seen all the high-ranking characters like Chu Liuxiang and Zhuge Liang before, and he didn't feel anything yet; At this time, seeing Lei Zekuan performing by him, he was really convinced.

β€”β€”Being able to portray a character with a huge contrast to his own image is indeed beyond his ability today.

However, Xu Zhen was not frustrated by this.

If you can't do it, you can learn!

Being able to "steal the teacher" for more than two months and study this high-end acting technique up close made him full of expectations for the filming of this movie.

Moreover, the ruler is short and the inch is long, Xu Zhen feels that as the second male lead in this movie, he can play a certain positive role in Brother Hao.

To tell the truth, Brother Hao's performance lacks tension, he can't handle the ups and downs of emotions well, and he often lacks a sense of strength when he explodes at critical moments.

This has something to do with his personality, and this may be a big reason why he has rarely won awards over the years.

Doesn't "go crazy", does it?

If the opportunity is right, you can try to "drive him crazy"......

In between filming, Xu Zhen carefully recalled the next plot, and a weird smile gradually appeared on his face.

……

There are not many scenes to be filmed by the crew in Quanzhou, except for this one, the most important thing is the scene where Lei Zekuan goes to the dock to find his son.

Some netizens provided clues to Lei Zekuan, saying that there is a boy named "Shi Anyi" in Quanzhou, who meets all the characteristics of his lost son: seventeen years old, not born by his parents, and has scars on his feet.

The reason why Lei Zekuan came to Minzhou this time was to meet this child.

During this period, Xu Zhen's shooting task was extremely simple: he was a little concerned about whether this "uncle" had found the child, so he secretly followed him to the dock.

- Yes, Zeng Shuai is a spectator in this scene.

watched the drama with public funds, and completed his own filming task while watching Brother Hao's filming, and there is no one else who is treated for this treatment.

However, this scene is not as simple as the previous scene when the two were in the motorcycle repair shop.

This is the most intense emotional point in the first half of the movie, which was filmed for more than a week.

Xu Zhen stood on the sidelines every day, originally watching the play with a learning mentality, but the more he watched it, the more uncomfortable it became.

He saw that Lei Zekuan, played by Brother Hao, finally saw the boy, his cloudy eyes lit up little by little, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak;

He saw the child take off his right boot without saying a word, showing the scar on the sole of his foot, but the light in Chen Zhenghao's eyes seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water on his headβ€”the child's scar was on his right foot, and his son's was on his left foot.

This is not his son.

He didn't give up and wanted to take the child for a paternity test, but he was beaten by the child's adoptive mother who rushed to hear the news, and the motorcycle was thrown into the sea.

At sunset, Chen Zhenghao stood in the sea and dragged his motorcycle to the shore in embarrassment.

Dusk hues, rickety lean bodies, worn-out motorcycles that have entered the water.

His eyes were numb and glazed, and he didn't have the slightest look.

"Click!"

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, the director stopped Chen Zhenghao's performance and announced that the scene just now had passed.

And after this scene was filmed, the scene of searching for a child on the pier finally came to the last scene: Lei Zekuan suddenly had a soft thought in order to chase the flag floating into the sea, and was called back by Zeng Shuai on the shore.

Xu Zhen, who has watched the play for a week, is finally going to officially end the show.

He stood on the sidelines of the set, watching the replays of Chen Zhenghao's performances from the director's monitor, and adjusted his breathing slightly.

The performances in these sections are handled very delicately, very finely, and very "Chen Zhenghao".

Whether it was the moment he saw the child, or when he was beaten by his adoptive mother, there was nothing particularly violent.

The emotions that have been stuck in his chest for days depend on whether he can detonate them by himself.

"Smack!"

At half past six in the evening of the same day, the filming of this scene officially began.

At this moment, the sky by the sea has gradually darkened, and it is no longer the dusk.

Chen Zhenghao dragged his broken motorcycle and walked towards the shore step by step.

However, before he could completely go ashore, he suddenly found that the flag he had planted on the motorcycle to "find his son" was missing.

Chen Zhenghao raised his head blankly, looked left and right, and finally found that the flag had been washed into the sea.

The photo of his son rises and falls in the waves, as if the hope of finding his son is gradually moving away towards him.

He subconsciously threw down the motorcycle in his hand and chased after the flag with a deep and shallow foot.

However, fate played a bad joke on him, and the flag drifted farther and farther away in the waves, and he couldn't catch up with it at all.

Chen Zhenghao stood in the sea water that did not reach his chest, weak, and was beaten by one wave after another.

Suddenly, a ferocious wave crashed over and knocked him off balance.

Chen Zhenghao struggled in the sea for a long time, and finally stood up again, but when he turned his head to look around again, it was already pitch black.

He never saw the poster with his son's picture again.

- The collapse of adults is often in a flash.

In the shot, Chen Zhenghao stood in the icy water, his expression gradually dazed.

His eyes drifted and he began to lose focus.

At this time, another wave hit, and he was slapped into the sea again.

However, at this time, he did not struggle to stand up.

He didn't want to stand up anymore, he didn't want to face wave after wave again.

It doesn't seem wrong to let yourself drift away with the sea and float to your son's side......

At this time, under another camera, Zeng Shuai, played by Xu Zhen, saw that he did not stand up, but hurriedly ran to the shore and looked anxiously into the sea.

"Uncle!"

He shouted as he waded through the water and ran in the direction where Chen Zhenghao had just fallen.

"Uncle! Eldest brother! Ay!! ”

He didn't know the other person's name, so he could only run and shout at the same time, but he never got any response.

After a while, Xu Zhen ran to Chen Zhenghao's broken motorcycle, but the sea water here was only up to people's knees, and it was still far from the place where Chen Zhenghao had just fallen.

Time passed minute by minute, and Xu Zhen's eyes were red with anxiety.

In all his anxiety, he suddenly put his hands to his mouth and shouted hoarsely, "Dad!! ”

This shout seemed to penetrate the air and seawater, penetrated more than ten years, and resounded throughout the whole world.

A few seconds later, the wave had receded, and a thin figure stood up from a position more than ten meters away from him.

Chen Zhenghao turned his head to look around, and saw the young man who was looking anxiously at him.

It's not the son, it's the kind man who repairs the motorcycle.

"Boom la la ......"

Wave after wave of water rushed in, but he stood still and never fell.

"Smack!"

Xu Zhen tinkered for a long time, and finally succeeded in turning on the headlights of the broken motorcycle and shining it on Chen Zhenghao not far away.

He waved desperately and shouted, "Uncle! This way! ”

"Your son is not in the sea!"

In the dark waters, blinding lights illuminate a path ahead.

Chen Zhenghao greeted the bright light, and the tears in his eyes suddenly flowed uncontrollably.

After a few moments, he staggered in the direction of the light, crying as he went, and gradually wept silently.
