Chapter 69
Chapter 69
Wen Lai is not a superstar, he was even very downcast at the beginning, and this downturn has been throughout his life in a sense.
Ming Chen's face is a bit too delicate, even if he draws it to be more ordinary, it still lacks a sense of vicissitudes.
Everyone knew this before choosing him as the protagonist, and he also knew that he was inexperienced in acting. The director was mentally prepared. Rather, he was quite satisfied with Ming Chen's performance as he is now.
The performance teacher's requirements are really harsh.
However, high standards and strict requirements are also required. If it can make Ming Chen go further, he will be very happy, so he usually doesn't intervene when the acting teacher scolds people.
Ming Chen walked again, carrying a black guitar bag and wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt, walking from the left side of the screen to the right side with a heavy heart.
This time, a sparrow flew over his head, Ming Chen glanced subconsciously, and a sliced blue sky appeared in his sight.
There was a flash of amazement in his eyes, which was quickly captured by the photographer.
"Take a break!" The director greeted him: "Is it cold, put on your clothes!"
Mingchen laughed, waved his hands, and went to find Lin Tiaotiao.
The director then sat back in his seat, suppressing his excitement, and kept going back to watch the scene just now.What a coincidence, when he just turned his head, a light happened to shine into his eyes, and that was an absolutely real reaction, an effect that would never come out if he deliberately turned his head back.
And Ming Chen looks good!How beautiful this scene is!The director didn't regret finding a beautiful one to play Wen Lai, just like what the acting teacher liked, and getting a passer-by to act, it seemed like it, who wants to watch it.
The director glanced at the acting teacher provocatively.
The performance teacher said coldly: "Tsk, Hope Primary School poster?"
"Go, go, go—" the director jumped up: "Don't watch it!"
The acting teacher drifted away indifferently.
However, this scene did happen by accident. The director calmed down after being excited, and asked people to come back and continue filming.
Half an hour later, the acting teacher came back again, this time with someone.
"Teacher Ke Xiaoran! Here we come!" The director immediately got up and called Ming Chen over: "Ming Chen, this is the music director of our crew, Ke Xiao Ran, and I will guide you in vocal music from now on!"
Ming Chen quickly bowed: "Hello, Mr. Ke."
Guest Xiao Ran smiled: "Don't be so grand, we've seen it before."
"Yes, three years ago, right? When I went to Kyushu to record." Ming Chen said, "Teacher helped me a lot."
It's enough to just say a few words. It's cold, and everyone wants to make the most of the time no matter how busy they are.Especially Mingchen, who was only wearing a single shirt, Lin Tiaotiao felt distressed when he saw it beside him.
After walking to point AB, another place was changed. Ming Chen sat on a broken wall, picked up the guitar, and played "Summer Wind".
This time, even the performance teacher didn't have much to say, Ming Chen could play the guitar, his posture was beautiful, the wind was blowing from behind, he smiled slightly with his eyes downcast, much happier than just now.
That's what the director wants.
Because Wen Lai's songs are very gentle, and he is also very gentle when he sings, Ming Chen understands it very well.
The guest, Xiao Ran, didn't speak for a while, it was good to ask, the director made a decision, and the group came to a dilapidated building on the roof.
Wen Lai committed suicide by jumping off a building, but now the director doesn't need him to brew this kind of emotion. The camera position is far away, and Ming Chen only needs to contribute a small, back view under the sky.
The performance teacher adjusted his posture by hand, and it was not difficult to shoot. After it was done, there was only the last location for today.
Everyone packed their things, got in the car, and drove to another shooting location that the crew had decided on—a high-end leisure club.
It is not difficult to summarize Wen Lai's life.
He received a good education in his early years and was extremely talented in music.However, due to an accident, his parents died young, and he had no other relatives, so his life was very desolate.
When he was 21 years old, he even went to the street to sing in despair.
However, the song "Summer Wind" attracted everyone to stop and blocked half of the street. A nearby bar owner saw it and thought it was a business opportunity, so he took him back to the bar and asked him to sing there.
It's been such an ordinary year, and Wen Lai has almost gotten used to this kind of life. It's good to have music and free time to create.
Until a best-selling author who wrote prose poems came to the store, his fate took a turning point.
That was a very influential and beautiful girl. She discovered Wen Lai, praised Wen Lai, and called him "a star that fell into the world".Because of her book, the bar became popular, and Wen Lai was discovered along the way, successfully signed a contract to debut, and walked into another life.
The sudden fame and money made the 25-year-old inflated.
He got acquainted with ghosts and ghosts from all walks of life in Vanity Fair, and spent the whole day in carnival after carnival.But his talents are really overflowing, wrapping him like a thick layer of armor, turning all different voices into jealousy.
He became arrogant.
The one that Mingchen will shoot in a while is Wen Lai from this period.
From the acting teacher to the director, everyone is very worried.
It's really that Mingchen and "arrogant" don't get along well. No matter how you look at it, he is cute and well-behaved. It's okay to let him be expressionless and melancholy for a while, but it's really embarrassing to let him be poetic and shout that I am the number one in the world.
Although this section is not long in the whole film, it is still an important stage in Wen Lai's life, so he can't skip it!
When he arrived at the club, the group performers went in for rehearsal, the makeup artist helped him change the makeup, the director quietly touched over, dragged a chair and sat next to him.
"Ming Chen."
"Hey." Ming Chen responded.
"For a while, laugh more happily, be more wild, and be more arrogant." The director said.
"Okay." Ming Chen had heard this several times, but he nodded without pointing it out.
The director clenched his fist: "Confidence! You are the best!"
Ming Chen: "I'm the best!"
The director left with a still uneasy heart.
After a while, the acting teacher came over and said seriously, "Mingchen, do you remember what I told you earlier?"
"Remember," Ming Chen said, "don't exaggerate."
"Yeah, get that confidence back down. It's not a stage show, it's not a comedy."
"Understood." Ming Chen also nodded.
The filming officially started, Ming Chen sat on the sofa, leaned back, and crossed his legs.
With a cigarette in one hand, he looked at the TV screen in front of him with a half-smile.
A group of demons danced around him, and the music was deafening. He listened to a friend whose name he couldn't remember told a dirty joke, and laughed along with him.
"Cut!" the director shouted, beckoning Ming Chen to come over.
"Not relaxed enough! Too nervous! Don't be afraid of those extras!" The director shouted: "Not confident enough, Ming Chen!"
The acting teacher retorted: "It's not a matter of self-confidence. He is not hot enough on the outside and cool enough on the inside. Wen Lai is in a period of emotional frustration, but Mu Xue rejected him? No matter how arrogant he is on the outside, he will have a little self-doubt in his heart!" "
"He is not even powerful enough, how can he ask for self-doubt? Don't listen to Mr. Qiong, just show off!" the director said.
"You can't lower your requirements just because you can't do it! The inner part must be closed, and the audience's eyes are sharp, especially when it's officially filming!" said the acting teacher.
After the two of them finally finished their quarrel, Ming Chen went back to shoot it twice, but the director and acting teacher still had disagreements.
He listened for a while, then interjected sheepishly: "Can I take a break?"
The director patted his head: "Go, go."
The performance teacher was not happy: "I feel like I can't catch it, but resting is quite positive."
The director was anxious: "You hit him so often, how can he be confident!"
Acting teacher: "You can't even tell the truth?"
……
Ming Chen found a corner and sat down.
Lin Tiaotiao fumbled over and handed over the phone, but Ming Chen didn't look at it, just stared at the front in a daze.
stressed.
Ming Chen silently sighed.
Regarding the performance, he really tried his best. Several seniors in the group said he was good, and he himself thought it was okay. On some basic issues, such as how to face the camera and look at the camera position, he even asked the staff in the company The teacher made up for it.
But these questions raised by the acting teacher, as a layman, he really felt at a loss.
confidence?He has never experienced this kind of thing since he was a child, how can he find the feeling?
Ming Chen picked up his phone, clicked on WeChat, and looked at Si Yan'an's name for a while.
The epiphyllum is still in the circle of friends, and his long-winded words are all in the dialog box.Ming Chen was silent, and asked, "What do you think of my singing?"
Si Yan'an still didn't reply, but Ming Chen turned off the phone, wanting to understand one thing.
If Si Yan'an felt bad, he wouldn't help him fight for the movie.
Therefore, Si Yan'an recognized him.
He could no longer doubt.
After handing over the phone to Lin Tiaotiao, Ming Chen stood up and hopped on the spot.
"Brother?" Lin Tiaotiao followed suit and stood up: "Do you want some water?"
Ming Chen said, "Let's drink after filming."
He ran to the director, bent down and said a few words.
"Singing? Yes." The director was so talkative that he asked someone to hold the microphone.
The acting teacher was still angry: "What are you doing? There is no sense of drama, but there are many things to do."
The director was angry: "Qiong Bing!"
Ming Chen didn't hear this sentence, he had already returned to the sofa where he had filmed before.
The screen on the wall lit up, Ming Chen crossed his legs, listened to the prelude slowly, and began to sing the song "Warm and Cool".
This is a song written by Wen Lai after he became famous. Although the rhythm is slow, it shows its sharpness.
Ming Chen sang very calmly, but his voice was full of heat, like a sharpshooter on the battlefield, who draws his bow and knows that the arrow will hit before it is released.
His eyes are firm, and he looks down on all beings. Others around him seem to be gradually reduced to the background. In this camera that can only record images, Ming Chen shows his own existence.
The acting teacher was tongue-tied: "This...why do you feel it all of a sudden?"
No one answered her words, everyone looked at the singer intently, listened to his voice, and fell silent.
He is not a professional actor, but when he picks up the microphone, he has the confidence to be Wen Lai more than anyone else.
"You sang very well." After the chorus passed, a faint voice suddenly sounded behind the director and acting teacher.
"Hey horse!" The director was startled, almost fell off the stool, and shouted under his voice: "Mr. Ke, what are you doing!?"
Guest Xiao Ran laughed: "Look at Qiong Bing's joke."
The performance teacher on the side had a stinky face.
Mingchen played very well, everyone can see it.The director has already filmed this section, and thinks it can even be used directly.
Guest Xiao Ran said: "Everyone has a different way of acting, Qiong Bing, he is not a student of your acting department, he is an ordinary person, and he is also a singer. Ordinary people can't quickly empathize with such a situation. Normal. But he has the medium to adjust himself quickly and... sings really well."
Guest Xiao Ran showed appreciation: "I'm starting to like him."
The acting teacher didn't speak for a long time. She and Ke Xiaoran are of the same generation and have a very good relationship. Even she came to this production team to be a guide, it was Ke Xiaoran who asked her to.
"When it can't be officially filmed, he can act and sing wherever he goes. It's not a musical? And the current state is not completely right. He has less emotional hesitation..." The acting teacher frowned.
"That's your job." Ke Xiaoran smiled: "Tell him more, be patient, you have to admit that he has this possibility, isn't it?"
***
"God, I was praised on the set today! There is also a very powerful senior who said he would recommend me to be on the singer's show, happy: D"
"The acting teacher also praised me later, and told me a lot of the main points of the emotional drama. She asked me if I had a crush on someone, and I subconsciously said yes, and was heard by many sisters who were acting, chasing after me to gossip... "
"Fortunately, I wisely said it was when I was in elementary school. :P"
"Is it safe now? If you have time, please report that you are safe, and I will not pester you."
"Good night, brother."
It was already the third day since Si Yanan received these news.
He and the expedition team had just passed through a deserted no-man's land, and encountered a sandstorm in the middle, and their car was almost completely buried.
There was a girl in the team who believed in religion. When the others frantically tried the emergency signal, she was chanting scriptures there, and Si Yanan could memorize them.
Fortunately, things were not so bad. Although the signal was so poor that no rescue was called in the end, the sandstorm passed, the car was dug out, and it drove slowly. Today we arrived at the nearest supply point.
The conditions in the camp were poor, and the time for bathing was not enough to scrub. Si Yanan felt like a savage.When he finally connected to the Internet, Ming Chen's news was already 99+.
He finished flipping in silence, and his fingers stayed on the phrase "I won't pester you" for a long time, only to feel that his eyes were stinging.
Fortunately, this was news from three days ago. After reading it for a while, he silently closed the dialog box, poked open Fu Yongchuan's window, and asked him, "How is the crew?"
Then I found the guest Xiao Ran: "Mr. Xiao Ran, how is Ming Chen?"
After posting, wait, wait, wait...a bright red exclamation mark popped out.
Failed to send.
Si Yanan slammed the phone on the sleeping bag.
After a while, he struggled to pick up his phone, clicked on Weibo, and waited for another long time.
The refresh is successful, and the picture is completely cracked.
But the text still came out. He found Ming Chen's Weibo, and it was very silent. There was an update three days ago, a small emoji, a pink rabbit.
In the comments, the fans were extremely enthusiastic, saying hello to Chenmei and asking him what's wrong.
Si Yan'an's mobile phone number is a messy code, and it is difficult to leave a message.
"Come on! You are the best! You sing so beautifully! [Cute Bunny]"
