After arriving abroad, Sun Honglei also adjusted his mentality. In fact, there is not much to adjust. In China, few people dare to show off their seniority in front of Chen Hao, which is definitely self-humiliating. When he came here, he was very happy to see Haozi still maintain his attitude towards him.
It is really not so easy to get along abroad. He has only been here for a few days and he deeply feels that it is not easy to get along here.
Needless to say, the language barrier is big enough. Sun Honglei has worked hard enough to learn. Fortunately, he has never given up learning in these years. His skills in lines are also enough. Now he not only works out at a high intensity every day, but also takes up more time for English learning.
Everyone knows the influence of American dramas in China in recent years, and everyone knows their influence in the world. In recent years, various powerful American dramas have subverted everyone's expectations for TV dramas. Don't say that "Game of Thrones" is a super special effects blockbuster. What about those American dramas that are popular all over the world with literary dramas?
After Sun Honglei got the script of Prison Break, he read it many times. As an actor with high aspirations for acting, he wanted to break through the fixed image of the year, so he participated in variety shows to be cute. Although this play still has some shadows of the previous roles, you have to know that this will be a drama broadcast worldwide. The layering of the character of Lincoln must also exceed some inherent evil images.
I overestimated all the difficulties that might be encountered. After coming to the crew, I still underestimated the difficulties that I would encounter here. The xenophobia of the cast and crew was clear. In the past few days, Sun Honglei’s communication with other actors was almost zero. He could only read the things about some characteristics of prisons in the United States collected by his assistants and company professionals when he was lying at night to grasp the role. If you want to play a prisoner well, how can you not understand the culture and system here.
In short, everything starts from scratch, which is very difficult.
Seeing Chen Hao today really feels like seeing a relative. When hugging, the strength of slapping each other’s backs with both hands is really a bit greater.
Then, Chen Hao met with director Sanford. At this time, he did not deliberately put on an overbearing look. It was because an actor of a certain level must have a similar aura. You see, in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" facing Doug Liman, it was an attitude that we had to communicate and discuss deeply to play the role well. Here, after Chen Hao got the script, he knew that American dramas want actors to be the absolute core of the crew to control the rhythm of the performance. "Prison Break" requires Michael Scofield to lead, the intelligent brain core. He has to lead the rhythm of the whole play, just like the content in the script. Although there will be accidents, everything must be within his control. Everyone will eventually be in his plan or temporary plan. In the entire first part, there is only one person who is completely beyond his plan, but he also made adjustments accordingly, which is equivalent to a tie. That is the mentally ill prisoner, the one who first saw through Michael because his brain circuit is different from others.
The strength shown by Chen Hao is also equivalent to his complete control over this role in his heart. Compared with "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", which requires more acting skills to erase some unreasonable and illogical plots, the high-IQ Michael in "Prison Break" does not have much conflict in character changes. In other words, if you can play him well, you can always maintain a level, and you don't need to improve your acting skills to make this role better. Michael is already a god-like character in the play. If the layering is strong, it will erase the color of this character that makes people feel strong when he appears.
This strength is not the combat power of frontal fists and feet, but the strength at the top of the world's food chain.
Greeting all the actors, there is a difference between confident strength and arrogance. Some old actors in the play can see it clearly, and they are used to seeing similar scenes in some crews on weekdays. Seeing these people, Chen Hao had to admit that American male actors have a very long career life. You can't tell the age of male actors from around 30 to 50 years old as long as they dress properly, especially when old people play young people, there is almost no pressure. Chen Hao learned about several actors in the play and found that they were all in their 50s. In the play, you can't put them together with the word old.
Under the guidance of the crew, we first visited a main scene in the prison, the internal cell, which was cleaned and repaired by the crew in advance. It was really clean inside. The toilets in all the main rooms were newly replaced. Several high-power air conditioners were placed in the corners of the entire cell to ensure the temperature and air circulation inside to maintain a comfortable state.
In the entire prison, the shooting areas that will be used have been carefully taken care of. There are still some differences between film and television works and the situation in reality. Most of the scenes of this play are in this prison. Not to mention the actors, the staff don't want to smell the pungent smell mixed with various odors all day long.
"Director, I can start performing anytime and anywhere. Tonight, I will finish the tattoo on my body."
The strong self-confidence, rigorous and serious work attitude, and the state of a typical professional actor also made the director feel relieved. He has learned about the actor system in China and felt that those actors were not professional enough. Fortunately, this MOUSE looks very professional.
There is a special dormitory for employees in the prison, which was organized by the crew to provide temporary rest for the actors. It must be said that there is a strong labor union system here, which ensures all the rights and interests of everyone. Even if they work eight hours a day, If your actor wants to work overtime and says he is in good condition, we will shoot it, and the staff will not do it. Only if you have negotiated in advance that you are willing to work overtime and I am willing to pay overtime fees can you work overtime. However, based on the living conditions of Americans, basically Nothing like this will happen.
Working for eight hours, driving to the city for a drink, going back to a hotel or motel to sleep at night, and going to work on time the next day, this is the American way of life.
Fortunately for Chen Hao, after his experience here, he is very adaptable to this state. Sun Honglei is very uncomfortable. When the time comes, no matter where he is photographed, he directly announces that he is off work. This feeling makes him very surprised and feels very It was incredible. At first, he felt that the filming here was irresponsible. After a few days, he noticed something different, that is, during working hours, the professionalism of these actors and all the extras made him feel a little bit. Shocking, I can’t believe it’s true, especially the extras. In the past few days, I only took high-altitude shots of prisoners coming out to have fun. I couldn’t capture everyone’s faces at all. But look, no matter who plays the prison guard or None of the prisoners who played the roles were simplified in their appearance, and their expressions were very serious, as if they were completely immersed in the performance. There was no suggestion that the scene was just a quickie, and that people came out to fill the background. alright.
Chen Hao came, everyone met, and the actors continued to adapt to the environment. The day's work was over. Chen Hao and Sun Honglei returned to the hotel in a nearby city. Even before Sun Honglei arrived, Chen Hao asked the company's team here to do the entire process. He arranged all the reception work, hotel cars, etc., fully fulfilling the friendship of the landlord.
The tattoo artist who was appointed was also waiting early. What he needs to do is not a tattoo, but a good painting. It also needs to be the kind of pigment that can only be washed away with special potions and does not cause harm to the skin. Make sure that you are not sweating and getting wet during the shooting. Water will not affect Michael's tattoos.
While Chen Hao was painting, Sun Honglei was beside him. The two were drinking tea and chatting, and he told Chen Hao about the differences he had seen in the past few days.
"I've heard before that the extras here are all real actors. This time I've seen it. Their scripts only have one page, and some don't even have lines. Over here, we just hire some extras. For more than 100 yuan a day, one person can use it from morning to night. It is a completely equivalent employment relationship. It is different here. Over there, we see people with dreams gradually being crushed by life. Most of the extras here have dreams, even if they are fifty or sixty years old, tut tut, it’s really hard to refuse." Sun Honglei felt a little emotional, and gestured to Chen Hao for a cigarette, and received a nonchalant response, so he lit one.
Chen Hao was sitting upside down on a chair, and the tattoo artist drew pictures on his body. His figure was not only envied by Sun Honglei, but the tattoo artist sighed more than once. This is completely a masterpiece of God, otherwise there would be no such thing. Such perfect body lines.
Chen Hao smiled at this and did not explain it, nor could he explain it.
He was very interested in Sun Honglei's emotion: "Brother Honglei, we still have to take into account the culture, system, society and other environments. People here in their thirties or even forties are not as good as people in Hollywood." There are many people who study in group acting and wait for opportunities, and earn a living by washing dishes, being waiters or driving taxis. In the eyes of others, they are pursuing their dreams. Even if their families cannot understand, they will support them. In our country , this kind of thing is not realistic.”
Sun Honglei nodded. He knew this. If a person who has studied acting and gone to college in his thirties still pursues his dream and can barely earn a living, in the eyes of his family and friends, most people will give him If you are not doing your job properly, how many people will respect your dreams? The value of dreams, you have to admit that the respect and concrete realization they receive in Western countries far exceeds that of many countries in Eastern Asia. The capital that supports their respect for their dreams is not only the country's guarantee of future life for the people, but also enables them to dare to spend tomorrow's money today, earn 10,000, and enjoy a life of 10,000.
