Chapter 38 Real Actor
Chapter 38 Real Actor
"Each group should prepare, props should be rearranged, and costumes should be put on to help Teacher Huang with her makeup!"
In the studio, before the young interns could react, some old employees of Qingying Studio had already followed Wang Hao's instructions and took action immediately without any delay or slackness.
They have seen Huang Lei getting so immersed in the role countless times in their more than ten years of working career, and they know very well that at this time, they have to start shooting immediately while the feeling of being the leading actor has not yet subsided.
Although they knew it, they still couldn't help but look at Huang Lei with admiration while working.
After all, as the entertainment industry is becoming more and more star-oriented and younger, few people are able to devote themselves to "experiencing life" anymore. They have only seen qualities like Huang Lei in old artists.
The on-site layout was restored to its original state as the staff worked busy. Huang Lei lay back in the coffin with a tired look on his face. The students gathered around were driven away, and the assistant director walked in front of the camera with a clapperboard.
"Buried Alive, Scene 29, Shot 3, Stroke 10, Begin!"
buzzing~
The film on the camera slowly rotated, and the lens slowly rotated around Zhang Wei's head from an overhead perspective. The flashlight shone from the soles of his feet, sprinkled on his face, and also fell into the lens.
However, such a bright scene could not dispel the chill in everyone's hearts, because the voice coming from Zhang Wei's mobile phone was colder than the Siberian wind.
"Mr. Zhang, I regret to inform you that since your contract was terminated this morning, the employee accident insurance..."
Zhang Wei's lips trembled, "You can't do this!"
The voice on the phone continued as usual, "Mr. Zhang, do you understand?"
"Do not……"
Zhang Wei's voice was weak. He was too tired. Locked in this coffin without seeing the sun, he himself didn't know how much time had passed.
He only knew that hunger and fatigue were like hateful demons, hiding in dark corners, waiting for the best opportunity to devour his life.
So he remained silent and just let it go. He was tired.
However, the bastard on the other end of the phone didn't seem to be going to let him go. "Do you understand what I'm saying to you, Mr. Zhang Wei?"
"Mr. Zhang Wei?"
Zhang Wei could imagine that on the other end of the phone, there was a man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and making a sticky sound.
Like a serpent, like a vulture.
"You're a fucking asshole!"
Zhang Wei squeezed out the last bit of his strength and stiffened his neck to make his accusation.
However, there was only a cold word coming from the other end of the phone.
"The conversation with Mr. Zhang Wei has ended. Turn off the recorder now."
At this moment, Huang Lei's handling and the script are different from Ryan Reynolds' performance in the original version.
He just put down his phone dejectedly, without cursing or hysteria. All that was shown to everyone was his slightly trembling lips and twitching body.
Yes, a person is buried deep underground, thirsty, hungry, tired, lacking oxygen, and under tremendous psychological pressure.
In this situation, how could he still have the energy to yell and curse?
This is just like what Zhang Guoli said to the screenwriter when he played the old boss Fan Dianyuan in "1942". After he became a disaster victim, he didn't want to talk. Why didn't he want to talk? Because people don't want to talk when they are hungry.
It was then that the screenwriter realized that he had written the lines when he was full, so how could it possibly fit the character's state?
So when he saw Huang Lei change the lines and the form of the performance, Wang Hao not only did not shout "cut", but instead stood up excitedly and waved his fist vigorously.
This is what it feels like!
At this time, the dialogue teacher who acted with Huang Lei was also infected by his emotions, and said his final goodbye with a slightly apologetic tone:
"I'm sorry, good luck, Mr. Zhang."
Tears rolled down Zhang Wei's eyes the moment the phone was hung up. Li Kui, who was controlling the camera, immediately zoomed in without being reminded and gave a close-up of the other person's face.
So on the monitor in front of Wang Hao, that crystal teardrop slid across the dirty cheek, leaving a thin wet mark, and finally hit the wooden board with a bang.
"Ka~Perfect!"
Wang Hao was the first to stand up and applauded loudly, followed by the staff on the scene and the acting students who were deeply shocked.
There was thunderous applause at the scene, but Huang Lei still lay in the coffin, his shoulders shaking and he sobbed silently.
I don't know whether he was excited about his own wonderful performance or sad about Zhang Wei's tragic experience.
No one went up to disturb him easily. As colleagues in the entertainment industry, they all knew that the best solution at this time was to let Huang Lei vent all the negativity accumulated in his heart.
After crying for a while, Huang Lei finally calmed down.
At this time, after Wang Hao confirmed that there was no problem with the sound and picture he had just shot, he walked in front of him and bowed deeply in front of everyone.
This action immediately surprised everyone present.
They could also understand what Wang Hao meant, which was nothing more than apologizing to Huang Lei for what had just happened.
Just know that although Wang Hao is young, he is a director after all.
It is unheard of for a director to apologize to an actor.
What is a director?
The director is the sky of a crew, the crew's greatest authority, and is responsible for managing all matters of the crew.
If this kind of person apologizes to an actor, then in the future on the crew, will he listen to the director or the actor?
So this kind of thing will never happen.
Even if the director is wrong, you can only hold on or leave passively. This is the unspoken rule in the crew.
What's more, Wang Hao didn't do anything wrong just now. It was just that his methods were a bit extreme, but that was for the sake of filming. He was targeting the matter, not the person.
And now he was doing this in front of everyone, which was equivalent to roasting Huang Lei on the fire.
Thinking of this, some staff members and students found it funny again. You know, Huang Lei is well-known for his talent in the Film Academy.
Unexpectedly, when he was filming a movie, he was scolded by his own students and tortured to death.
Now the director has performed this drama of apologizing by carrying a thorn in his back, shutting up Teacher Huang in advance and giving him enough face. Now Teacher Huang has no place to vent his anger.
