Chapter 137: Start the Strategy
After Ding Shuo returned to the crew, he filmed for another two or three days. This night, in Aunt Liu's room.
Liu Yiqian directly swiped the room card and entered the door, and saw Aunt Liu writing something on the table.
"What is Mommy writing about?" As he spoke, he laughed and gestured to snatch Aunt Liu's notebook.
Aunt Liu reluctantly handed the notebook to Tianxian, and while brushing the restless hair on her forehead sideburns behind her ears with her hand, she said: "It's going to be my role soon, I'm worried that I won't be able to act well, so I'll try to write a biography of the character." ”
Sometimes the script of the role given by the director and screenwriter to the actor will be very simple, and the background of the character is just one sentence. At this time, the actors who get the script need to improve the character traits and background stories according to their understanding.
For example, in "Twenty Years Old Again", Aunt Liu got the script, and the background introduction of the characters is a simple paragraph: When she was young, she liked singing, dancing, and the stage, but she got married early and had children. wants to grow old with her beloved, her husband also died for some reason, and she has only one son to let her try to live.
When she cultivated her son into a talent, she also wrinkled her forehead, and her gray hair grew on her temples, and the dream of her youth had already become that sigh...... This is the profile of Aunt Liu's character.
When she got the script, Aunt Liu chuckled in her heart, and she had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the character she was going to play.
Replacing the son in the script with a daughter, and replacing the husband who died for some reason with a divorce, this is simply the life I am experiencing! Will I grow old slowly, inevitably? It's just like the characters in the play......
So when Aunt Liu was writing a character biography, she unconsciously brought the story of her youth, and almost wrote the character biography as her autobiography.
Liu Yiqian unfolded and finished reading the biography written by Aunt Liu, and found that many of the stories could match her mother.
In addition, the further she writes, the more sad the mental activities of Aunt Liu's characters become, so is this her mother lamenting her past and future?
Tianxian didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to hold Aunt Liu in his arms and said with relief: "Mom is always young, and others will say that they are like sisters, not like mother and daughter~"
"You will make my mother happy~" Aunt Liu quickly withdrew from her compassion and said helplessly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are all predestined, I just have some emotions that substitute for the role, and I am not so fragile." ”
After that, she stretched her waist to herself, showing her proud body curves, and after moving her joints, she said lazily: "Okay, I'll go take a bath and sleep." Are you going to sleep with me tonight? ”
"Yes, yes." Liu Yiqian jumped up directly and landed on the big bed.
Seeing her daughter's lively appearance, Aunt Liu's inexplicable sadness just now was diluted.
……
Just when Liu Yiqian's mother and daughter were sleeping in one bed, in another city, Nini and Yang Ying were also lying on the same bed and whispering between their girlfriends.
Between the two, Yang Ying was mostly talking alone, and Nini was listening with a red head and a swollen face, so she covered her head and covered her face for a second and didn't listen.
It turned out to be since the last time Ding Shuo and Yang Ying were broken.
In the past two or three days, Yang Ying has pulled Nini from time to time and said some shameless words, what Ding Shuo brought him an unimaginable sense of fulfillment, the explosion of fireworks that lasted for half a minute in his mind, and the impact of being knocked apart......
The more he talked, the more he went too far, and tonight he even started talking and moving. If it weren't for the previous friendship and Yang Ying's skinless and faceless entanglement, Nini really wanted to cut off contact with her.
Yang Ying looked at Nini with a smile again: "It's been a long time since your Xiao Feng came to look for you, and after filming the running man together, it's been four or five days." ”
Hearing what she said, Nini hurriedly interrupted her and said with a straight face: "Don't go too far, I have feelings for him." ”
Yang Ying sneered when he heard this: "Feelings? Feelings are the least valuable thing in the world! Only the USD-CNY is real. What's the use of you keeping his innocence for him? He's playing outside, and after a few years he's kicked you, what do you get besides getting a few years older? ”
"You! Swear black is white.! ”
Nini looked excited, and her face turned red. Although she is tired of what Yang Ying said these days, it is undeniable that what she said is indeed applicable to the entertainment industry. There are not even many couples in the entertainment industry who are in true love, and they still expect to have real couples?
As for the "foul language" she said, it disturbed Nini's mind even more. To be honest, Nini and Feng Shaofeng are together, he finishes things in a few minutes every time, and he really hasn't experienced the feeling of having fireworks in his head as she said!
Feng Shaofeng called this morning and said that he had thought about it, and his first reaction was Yang Ying's description of Ding Shuo's five big and three coarse.
Yang Ying saw that Nini was out of her mind, and she was even closer to her buttocks, and her hands were not restless, and she laughed: "Don't say it, since the last time I finished with Ding Shuo, I still think I'm a year or two younger!" No wonder Chinese medicine says that yin and yang are combined, and this woman just has a little more yang. ”
Nini was afraid that she would be bewitched by her in the next second, so she feigned anger and said, "If you say that, I'll kick you out!" ”
Yang Ying saw that she was angry, whether it was true or not, she couldn't say it again tonight.
In the future, he will hook out her curiosity sooner or later, and then let her have a little misunderstanding between her and Feng Shaofeng, which will always allow Ding Shuo to take advantage of the situation and solve his worries, maybe he can also get some benefits from Ding Shuo!
As for Nini herself, she can only be sorry! Who made her curiosity too heavy to follow herself and saw what she shouldn't see!
Not to mention what Yang Ying planned. Ding Shuo has been cultivating himself these days, and he is so busy that he can't touch the ground, so he only cares about making movies.
On this day, in an old community with a sense of age.
Ding Shuo discussed with the community neighborhood committee, and the crew of "Twenty Years Old Again" rented this community for filming, and then it was time to film Aunt Liu's scene.
And the group performance grandmother who played opposite Aunt Liu was particularly easy to solve.
On weekdays, the grandmother who needs others to give up her seat hears that she can earn 80 a day when she is a group performer, and she also gives eggs! One by one, they rushed to the registration office with a scream.
There are a few old sisters who have a deep friendship on weekdays, and in order to snatch a role with a few lines, they almost staged a "martial arts"!
Without him! There can be three hundred and six supporting roles with lines a day!
The crew rented the entire building, and the first and second floors were temporarily converted into conference rooms, actors' lounges, dressing rooms, etc.
At this time, the stylist was applying makeup to Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu pays attention to maintenance and exercise on weekdays, and her hair is also dyed, black and smooth, not at all like the image of a grandmother in the play.
Several stylists drew wrinkles for Aunt Liu, put on white hair covers, and the image of a kind grandmother jumped into the mirror.
Aunt Liu stared at her aging self in the mirror, subconsciously touching the lines at the corners of her eyes, stunned......
In the next second, Ding Shuo and Liu Yiqian pushed the door and walked in together, and Liu Yiqian took the lead in walking to Aunt Liu. Ding Shuo looked at the stylist and asked, "Is the makeup ready?" ”
"Alright." A few stylists didn't bother to clean up their things, and pushed them out of the room. There were only three of them left in the dressing room.
Liu Yiqian turned her head to Ding Shuo and said, "My mother rarely acts, you can be more patient with her in a while." ”
What kind of tiger and wolf word is this?
The idea that the director trains the actors usually sounds normal, but now it feels weird.
Ding Shuo put away the dirty thoughts in his heart, and said politely to Aunt Liu: "Auntie doesn't act often, and she won't shoot more difficult scenes today, and she doesn't have many lines!" There are only three plays today, the first one is when you go out to buy vegetables and are praised for your son and grandson's successful career. ”
"Another scene is when you are cooking and choosing vegetables, watching the girl group dancing on TV look lonely.
Then there's another scene where you go back to your bedroom after dinner and see a picture of yourself when you were young. ”
"Two of these three scenes will give you close-ups. In the last two sets of scenes, you should have that feeling of loneliness, regret, and a little reminiscence. Although there are no lines, facial expressions are important, especially the eyes! ”
That's what you say it's not difficult? Why does Aunt Liu think that you are embarrassing yourself?
"Got it, Director."
Ding Shuo looked at Aunt Liu, who seemed a little flustered, and said in his heart that there was no need to bother with words, let's practice to know the truth.
"Let's go, let's go filming."
……
In an old and dilapidated living room, the TV is still the same old "big ass" monitor, playing several young women's singing and dancing programs, and Aunt Liu is holding a vegetable pot.
At this moment, Ding Shuo looked at the monitor and shouted with a loudspeaker: "Attention departments, prepare to shoot!" ”
Liu Yiqian, who was behind Ding Shuo, was also nervous, after all, this was her mother's first scene after several years.
"Eightieth first, start!"
As the scene notes played, the camera slowly turned half a circle, from the TV program being played to Aunt Liu, who was choosing vegetables.
Ding Shuo and Liu Yiqian both stared at the monitor closely.
As the camera moved forward, Aunt Liu's eyes looking at the TV changed from empty to as if there was something more, and the movement of choosing vegetables in her hands also slowed down.
Under the quiet eyes, the corners of his mouth are also slightly curled, as if he thought of himself who also loved the stage when he was young.
In front of the monitor, Ding Shuo sat on the chair with half of his buttocks, sat up straight, and suddenly shouted: "Click! Very good, very good, this state is very good, this kind of eye emotion is what you want! ”
"Mom, you're awesome!" Liu Yiqian excitedly wrapped her arms around Aunt Liu's neck, "I knew you could!" ”
"Well," Aunt Liu was very pleased that her acting skills had been recognized by everyone, and secretly said in her heart that acting was what it felt.
In fact, she has also liked dance performances since she was a child and graduated from the Wuhan Song and Dance Theater. When writing the biography of the character and the performance just now, she found that she had a high degree of overlap with the character, so she acted directly according to her inner thoughts.
unconsciously took the path of experientialism, which naturally made people think that she acted well.
……
The camera changed, and as the sound of the scene notes fell, everyone watched Aunt Liu's performance.
I saw Aunt Liu rubbing the black and white photos of her youth, her expression was in a trance, her beautiful eyes were confused, and she seemed to be reminded of her memories of her youth.
"The camera pushes to the photo, giving the photo a close-up." Ding Shuo directed the photographer in front of the monitor, "I'm giving a close-up of the current expression!" ”
"That's good." Ding Shuo secretly praised.
Although Aunt Liu's lines are her weakness, if she is filmed in the eye drama, it can only be said to be wonderful!
The eye drama is the most difficult for many people, but for those who are delicate and sensitive in their hearts, it is very simple. For example, actor Liang Chaowei.
It seems that Aunt Liu is also an introverted person!
"Click! Aunt Liu's performance was good, I thought it would take some effort for you to film for the first time, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth! ”
"The director has won an award."
……
After filming in the evening, Aunt Liu was removing her makeup in the dressing room, and she was accompanied by her daughter Sissi. is different from the immortal who was chattering on the sidelines and excitedly touting Aunt Liu's acting skills just now, Aunt Liu's own emotions were very lost.
Knowledgeable people can see Aunt Liu's problem at a glance, simply put, "into the play". brought out the mood of the character itself out of the camera.
But Liu Yiqian thought that her mother was tired from acting today, so she didn't comfort her much.
In her opinion, acting is acting. Even if he was acting in a passion play, he was fully engaged, but there was still someone in his head who was controlling his brain to tell him how to act next, and he didn't pay much attention.
……
A few days have passed in a hurry, and the filming of the crew is getting smoother and smoother, but Aunt Liu's mood when she is alone in private is getting lower and lower.
The more scenes she filmed, the more she substituted herself. On the one hand, he felt that acting was even happier than on stage, and he found his original intention when he was young; On the one hand, he lamented that he was no longer young.
But she was used to pretending to be dignified in front of outsiders, and no one noticed her abnormality.
is going to shoot her last scene today: when she enjoys the passion of becoming young in the play, she even has feelings for Ding Shuo. Of course, these are all played by Liu Yiqian.
But the bubble will burst one day, and when the rejuvenation pill is gone, she quickly returns to her old state.
So she asked people every time, turned over the trash can, and even hallucinated, and was sent to a psychiatric hospital by her family for treatment.
Tonight's scene is the closing scene where Aunt Liu is sent back to the confinement room with white walls after receiving brain shock therapy, and then curls up on the bed after struggling hysterically.
"Director, can you clear the scene, I'm a little embarrassed."
For ordinary people, it's okay to play an ordinary role in front of the camera, but if you play ugly and play the kind of hysterical and crying role, people will instinctively feel a little ashamed and repulsed.
So acting schools will teach you to play all kinds of animals in the class at the beginning of your freshman year, liberate your nature, and rip off your shame in front of the camera.
Aunt Liu is a sensitive and delicate person, and she has not received a similar education, so she hopes that there will be fewer people watching her.
"No problem. Except for the camera and radio, everyone else should go out first. ”
After everyone left, Aunt Liu took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and slowly brought herself into the role.
Ding Shuo looked at Aunt Liu in the monitor with a hideous expression and roared, and then like a baby in the mother's womb, the whole person curled up on the hospital bed, tears flowing sideways on the pillow......
"Click!"
Ding Shuo shouted a click, and Aunt Liu was still curled up on the hospital bed, lying on her side and hugging her knees, maintaining her previous appearance.
The few people left in the room were quiet, and they were all shocked by this incomparably real acting, and they even felt a little hairy and panicked.
At this time, Aunt Liu was obviously too deep into the play and couldn't get out until Ding Shuo appeared in front of her with a tissue.
"It's over, Auntie, it's all over." Ding Shuo gently helped Aunt Liu up, and in the next second, Aunt Liu threw herself directly into Ding Shuo's arms and kept sobbing.
"This ......" Ding Shuo had a grass and mud horse running by in his heart, and his hands were stunned in the air, not knowing what to do.
After hesitating for a while, he still hugged Aunt Liu and patted her on the back gently.
"Mom? Director? What are you doing here? ”
Hearing her daughter's voice, Aunt Liu's sobbing stopped abruptly. It was only then that she was surprised to find that she was in Ding Shuo's arms, and the two of them were almost to the point of breathing each other.
She pushed Ding Shuo away violently, pushing Ding Shuo back three steps, her face full of embarrassment and uneasiness. Ding Shuo still asked without changing his face, "Why did you come in?" ”
Liu Yiqian didn't suspect that there was any taboo between her mother and Ding Shuo, but the age difference between the two was too big, and Aunt Liu was a few years older than Ding Shuo's mother!
"I saw the photographer go out, and he said my mother was crying inside, so I hurried in. Mom, are you alright? ”
"I'm fine, it's just that I was too deep in the drama just now."
Aunt Liu, at least superficially, has regained her image as a dignified mother.
"Uh... Sissi, please comfort your mother, I'll go out. ”
"Okay."
……
Ding Shuo walked into the crowd, and as Aunt Liu's last scene was filmed, Ding Shuo shouted the slogan of "finishing", and everyone in the crew cheered, except for a few group actors and the landlord himself.
It's a pity that the role of the group performance aunt is gone, and the landlord is used to living in the luxury hotel that the crew has booked for them these days, and then returning to live in his old and dilapidated house, he can't help but feel a little bit of a gap in his heart.
With the cheers of everyone, Ding Shuo's mind suddenly sounded a long-lost system prompt.
"Detected the host's strong unwillingness to Aunt Liu," Before the system could finish speaking, Ding Shuo almost jumped up as if he had been stepped on by the cat's tail.
shouted in his mind and the system: "What do you mean by my strong unwillingness to Aunt Liu!! Beware of me accusing you of slander!!! ”
The next moment, the system's prompt continued to sound: "Reward Host: Rejuvenation Pill." ”
Ding Shuo wilted in an instant: You see people are really accurate.
"Cut~" I don't know if it's an illusion, Ding Shuo even heard the system's disdainful contempt in a trance.
I dug into my pocket, and there was an inexplicable black pill inside. Whoever looks at it is a counterfeit product, who would have thought that it would have such an effect?
Pulling out the pill, the head has more of its effect: after taking it, the body and skin can slowly return to the state of thirty-five years old within a month, after which it will age normally.
Understood, so this pill can only make people young again, and it will not rejuvenate the face, and the old will get older.
Ding Shuo also thought of giving the pill to his mother, but he was afraid that his father would not be able to grasp it.
So let's just let yourself grasp it.
As for when to let Aunt Liu eat and how to eat, Ding Shuo still has to think carefully.
This must be done first, and then fed to her to prevent chickens from flying eggs.
It's better to act than to be excited, and when everyone gets together, Ding Shuo raised his arms: "Everyone, "Back to Twenty" will be officially completed today. Xiao Li, you go and book a few tables of banquets, we have to have the finale banquet, thank you for your hard work! ”
