Chapter 699: Crazy Performance
The first order.
All the shots of Chen Hao were close-ups from the side, mostly with his face at a 45-degree angle.
Shoot.
His eyes twitched, his expression was serious, and his eyes were firm. If you want to do it, don't hesitate. What the eldest brother said is right. These people must be killed. Only by killing them can you have no worries. He made up his mind, but when the arrow shot into the body of the surrendered soldier who had no ability to resist, Jiang Wuyang's heart was still clenched, and he could see the veins on both sides of his temple throbbing.
The second order.
Still from a close-up angle, Chen Kexin saw the level changes in Chen Hao's performance. He sat upright behind the monitor and leaned his head over, fearing that he would miss some details.
Shoot again.
When these two words were shouted, what was heard was the sound of unwavering command, but what was seen was the blood vessels in Jiang Wuyang's neck throbbing and the veins bulging.
At this time, Jiang Wuyang's eyes were filled with tears, and there was compassion that he tried hard to conceal. These were living lives, and they died like this? Just a few minutes ago, the second brother said that they should live, but now, life is between the bowstring and the release, and blood has become the only color in front of them. Is it right or wrong?
The third time to issue the order.
The angle remains unchanged, and the distance of the close-up remains unchanged, giving people a feeling that this is a repeated use of the picture. In fact, anyone with a slightly longer eye can see the changes in Chen Hao in these three times.
Shoot again!
There is no one standing below, and the corpses are covered with blood. The tears in Jiang Wuyang's eyes are overflowing, and they are just a little bit away from bursting out, but they didn't flow out. In addition to the tears in his eyes, he is already full of grief for life. His orders are death warrants, taking away their lives. No matter what position, life is not wrong. Is it his fault? Isn't the eldest brother right? The eldest brother is right. I should listen to the eldest brother. It's my own position that is not firm.
The fourth time to issue the order.
There are no living people anymore. This last round of arrow rain is just to check for omissions and make up for the gaps. Most of them were shot on the corpses.
Shoot! !
Chen Hao shouted this word, and a tear fell down along with the muscles of his face.
At this moment, Jiang Wuyang no longer hesitated, nor did he have any pity for the surrendered soldiers. He was determined. Big brother is right. I want to follow big brother to do real big things. This is just the starting point.
After shouting this order and watching the rain of arrows falling down, Jiang Wuyang turned around without any hesitation. He turned around and left with an unwavering attitude to report to big brother. Here, I have dealt with it.
Pah! Pah!
Chen Kexin did not call a stop, but stood up and applauded first. Everyone who saw Chen Hao's performance at the scene applauded with Chen Kexin. It was really wonderful. The most difficult part was that this was a long shot. Whether it was the archery or the surrendered soldiers being shot, they were all shot in advance. At that time, Chen Hao stood by and watched. The exaggerated performances of the extras were still in front of him. After he came up, a camera was pushed in front of him for a close-up.
There is nothing to do, just put the machine here, and then just watch Chen Hao perform alone.
Four commands, four different levels of performance, perfectly interpret the state of Pang Qingyun and Zhao Erhu, and also perfectly show his state after being influenced by the two. In the end, it was Pang Qingyun's influence that took the upper hand, successfully making Jiang Wuyang the most loyal follower of Pang Qingyun.
In Chen Kexin's view, the change from the third to the fourth state is too wonderful. This performance made him see the peak of the movie emperor. According to Andy Lau, his performance in "Infernal Affairs" can be compared with this.
This scene gave Chen Kexin full confidence. He wanted to move the last scene out. Only by moving it out can the story be complete, even if it changes from a two-hero meeting to a three-legged tripod. As long as that scene is added, Chen Hao's role in the play will be no less important than Jet Li and Andy Lau.
No need to worry about it. In the past, I was worried about not filming well. Now I am full of hope, hoping that Chen Hao can have an explosive performance and give me some surprises in that scene. No, I can't wait any longer. Maybe I can start now.
Chen Kexin couldn't hold back the excitement of that scene. He also knew that even if he filmed that scene, it was not certain whether it could pass the review in the end. However, with the color of this film, the bloody feeling would be covered to a certain extent. Maybe, maybe it could pass the review.
"No matter whether it passes or not, if it is not filmed, it will be the biggest regret of this film."
Chen Kexin immediately called his friend in the United States to ask about the current status of the technical special effects he had consulted. After getting a positive answer, he immediately invited the other party to come to China. He wanted the finished product.
At lunch, the weather was particularly warm today. Chen Kexin sat with several leading actors. When they were almost done eating, he spoke: "I want to shoot the scene where Jiang Wuyang was tortured to death first. What do you think? According to Haozi's condition today, is there any problem?"
As soon as he said this, Jet Li and Andy Lau looked at Chen Hao with a little envy, while Xu Jinglei was full of surprise. This morning, she was reshooting some scenes with Group B. She just heard that Chen Hao had a very wonderful performance, but she hadn't seen it yet. Unexpectedly, this wonderful performance made Director Chen decide to shoot the almost crazy four-minute ending scene directly. What kind of acting skills does Chen Hao have to be so recognized by Director Chen?
How old is he this year?
How long has he been in the industry?
Didn't it just come out that he just became a freshman at the Film Academy?
As an old senior, Xu Jinglei is a rare playboy in the circle. She fishes for three days and dries the net for two days. When she has time, she doesn't want to be a star, and when she has time, she wants to sew bags by hand. But even she, who doesn't care about the entertainment industry, has paid special attention to Chen Hao and read his information. He didn't take the emerging model seriously. The key is that he is so popular that you will see many magical places that make you have to be interested in him.
As the heroine who was selected several times in the play, Xu Jinglei also saw the final version of the script. Anyone who saw Jiang Wuyang's role at the end knew that it was very risky and difficult to shoot, but once it was shot, it would definitely be a sensation.
Xu Jinglei still remembered that when she first joined the crew, Director Chen resisted the large-scale war scenes. Several small-scale fighting scenes took a long time to shoot and were difficult to form. How could he have the confidence to shoot that scene so quickly now?
The reason for this is that Xu Jinglei looked at Chen Hao. It could only be him. It was a pure personal performance. It was a script for an actor of the movie emperor level, or a script for a veteran actor with at least 30 years of experience. Chen Hao, can he do it?
"Director, after dinner, let's go and try it first?"
As soon as Chen Hao proposed, everyone was interested. They quickly ate a few bites of food and went into the big tent built by the crew. Even Wang Kuirong and other veteran actors came over after hearing the news.
Simple makeup, messed up the hair, but the face was not deliberately dirty. It was a very natural state. There was no preparation for this today. The scene was shot in the morning and the beard was specially shaved. If it was really to shoot that scene, it would take at least a few days without trimming the stubble.
Chen Kexin asked someone to prepare a wooden stake. He was waiting for Chen Hao to make this request himself, tie it up and experience it in person before performing again.
Chen Hao didn't. He just signaled Chen Gang to give him a cigarette. He ignored the crowd watching him and sat there, smoking silently until the cigarette burned out. He closed his eyes and stayed for a few minutes, then signaled the machine in front of him to start up. He stood up, faced the camera, and began his performance.
He didn't know what state Chen Kexin wanted Jiang Wuyang to be in. Was it Jiang Wuyang who had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, or Jiang Wuyang who had just been punished, or Jiang Wuyang in several states?
He wanted to challenge his limits, and it was also a midterm assessment for himself. The ability given by the system alone was one aspect. In a movie, he also had to reflect his own understanding of the play and the characters, so that he could better use the ability given by the system and integrate what he had learned into it.
He wanted to show the whole process, and according to his understanding of the punishment, it was also divided into several stages.
Before the execution, what you think in your mind and heart may be more of a sense of confusion. The eldest brother is dead, the second brother is dead, the light and dawn are gone, the direction of life is gone, and perhaps death will be the best ending. I killed the eldest brother and avenged the second brother, so I should follow the two brothers.
The execution began. Jiang Wuyang had his own pride. He was in pain, but he didn't want people to see his weakness...
Chen Hao lowered his head slightly, making his state suitable for being tied to the execution rack at that time. There was wind around, and it seemed that there was nothing but the wind. There might be a person standing in front of him, holding a knife and cutting flesh from his body.
Blank and indifferent eyes, what you want to see in me, Jiang Wuyang, is destined not to be seen. I am leaving, sworn brothers, the two brothers are gone, and I am leaving too.
The sun has risen, but it has not reached the top of the head. Isn't it the noon execution? He is coming, so come on. There is no place worth lingering on this day, and there is no land for me to stand on. Perhaps on the road to the underworld, the three of us brothers can return to the beginning, without the second sister-in-law and power.
His brows suddenly frowned. This frowning action was the first reaction of a tough guy to pain. After years of fighting, injuries were commonplace for him. At most, there were some special movements of the body under conditioned reflex, such as frowning, such as biting his lips.
His brows were relaxed, but he tilted his head slightly, his eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at the camera, staring at the executioner in front of him. He didn't want to say anything. He had killed so many people like this before. Now he was determined to die, and he was too lazy to talk to irrelevant people...
