Chapter 895: A Connection with Vampires
Really?
What a fight.
Chen Hao's super physical fitness gives him the ability to withstand blows without pretending to be a professional. He does not exert all his strength when playing against actors. His posture is not fake and understated, and the shooting effect is sufficient.
Michael himself knows very well that when he comes here, he will inevitably suffer some things that are unique to this place, such as humiliation, such as violence. If he wants to escape from prison, he needs to deal with the most dangerous people, and he is ready to bear any price. , it didn’t matter that he faced John and his people and fought back with his fists, including being beaten, which was actually part of his plan.
The role of Michael Scofidel is a role that does not span too much space. It is an indisputable fact that you need good acting skills to control it. You do not need to constantly break out to increase the difficulty of playing the role. In other words, this role It's not a development type. It's actually the big BOSS when it appears.
Coming up, Michael must reach a sufficient standard. A look or an action must arouse enough interest from the audience. This is not a process in which a weak person gradually becomes stronger. He is a wise man who is cruel but has a soft place in his heart. If Michael is not The protagonist, if this character can throw away unnecessary tenderness, will be a very cool character, and may even become a classic.
In today's society, this is not the time when everyone watches family-friendly movies and TV series. The tall and positive image that everyone liked in the past is now outdated. As a good person, it is difficult to be recognized no matter how good your acting is. Everyone will think that you are It’s so fake. Once this idea comes up, you can’t make up for the shortcomings that make a classic character no matter what.
Chen Hao's expectations for this role are limited, but he has expectations for the whole drama. This is a typical complementary film and television drama. He is confident that he can achieve the ultimate in the role. Now let's see whether the entire drama can achieve the ultimate. Only in this way can we truly achieve a win-win situation.
At the end of the day's shooting, everyone went aside to drink cold beer. Chen Haoze and the actor who played the role of the warden went to the room to shoot the two scenes that appeared in the first episode. First, the warden invited Michael to build a model for him. 'Taj Mahal', Michael was worried that it would affect his plans, and he had to be in this room several days a week, which would cause a lot of delays, so he refused, which led to a classic line from the warden: "Young man, you have to believe in me here. It’s definitely better to owe you a favor than to owe me a favor.”
The second time was a scene where Michael and John confronted each other, were beaten, and were handed over to the office.
There is no N-camera. The director, the cameraman, including the on-site staff, can't find anything that can be N-camera in Chen Hao. Every scene he performs is so wonderful. Watching him act, everyone has a pleasant feeling. .
While waiting for Chen Hao to finish shooting for the day, Sun Honglei continued to learn English and practice English pronunciation lines in the car according to the requirements of the English teacher. The eight-hour working time in the United States gave him room for sudden learning. Every day, He requires himself to make some progress, and is more motivated to learn English than to keep fit. The latter is just for this movie, while the former is a necessary survival ability for a person.
In the evening, at Sun Honglei's request, Chen Hao had a few scenes with him after working out in the gym. Although Sun Honglei asked to pay for it himself, Chen Hao did not agree to him and asked Qiu Yu to invite a small filming team to have the two scenes with each other. , filmed it, and then Sun Honglei went to watch the filmed material and adjust the status of his character.
After several days of shooting, the entire crew passed the running-in period at a speed that the director could not believe. Chen Hao perfectly controlled the situation with each of the main supporting actors, and guided the show with his extraordinary personal charm and acting skills. The opposite actors also performed very well.
During the filming of the crew, Chen Hao made no secret of his praise for the actor who plays the role of TBAG. He is a deadbeat, a character who will be resisted by people everywhere, a real madman, and a person with considerable wisdom and forbearance. In the scripts of the first two seasons, Mahone, the prison guard Barrick, and TBAG appeared in the second season. These are three strong men in different states. The remaining one is the opponent who kills all the way. Paul the Killer is not even considered a strong one. Chen Hao is totally hooked on acting with Robert Knapp, who plays TBAG. As the biggest star of the entire crew and the undisputed core male lead, he sometimes doesn’t need to worry about everyone’s feelings. , to praise a person in public, what is needed is the catfish effect. His status among all actors is more than one level higher, so no one will compare themselves with him because of jealousy of him.
Sun Honglei is also getting better. He is born with the bonus attributes of playing such a role, and his power gradually explodes. Lincoln Bruce has also been recognized by everyone. With the improvement of his speaking ability, he has also begun to have a private relationship with the actor. Communication, no professional actor will waste a good opportunity. It is a rare opportunity to play a major role in a large-scale American drama. Everyone is extremely serious. You can't see every scene. Anyone who is lazy, even those who are just supporting roles as thugs, you can see in their eyes that there is something interesting.
A week later, the female lead joined the group.
Nina Dobrev.
The leading female lead in "Diary of a Vampire". A few years ago, with the success of this American TV series, Chen Hao found that she was really destined to this subject. The leading female lead in the new movie and the pinnacle masterpiece of this type of movie Cooperation, the new TV series cooperates with the female lead who is the pinnacle of this type of TV series.
This beautiful Nina who meets the aesthetic standards of China is not as lucky or capable as Kristen. She has followed the old path of a very conventional American TV actor. Her image has been fixed. After leaving the American TV series that made her popular, her fame will extend for one or two years, and she will slowly become a passerby. In the American market where the updates are so fast, if you have no news for three or four years, your fame and value will plummet.
This once popular female star now joins "Prison Break" with a salary that is the salary of a third- or fourth-tier American TV series. After paying Chen Hao a sky-high salary, her salary is nothing at all.
Arriving late at the crew is not a big shot. She really doesn't have any big names to show off now. The crew arranged a schedule for her like this. From the moment she joined the crew, she filmed the scenes in prison, and then interspersed her with shots of her in life.
After several years of ups and downs, she is no longer the rising star who became famous all over the world after filming "Vampire Diary". She also lost the arrogance she had when she quit the sixth season. Without this drama to support her, she has been walking on thin ice in the past few years. She still has a role, but it is difficult to create glory again. In the end, she compromised and participated in the finale of the last season, which was considered to be an opportunity to ease her arrogance.
When the "Prison Break" crew found her and learned that her opponent was MOUSE, she was actually very excited. Even the dumbest person knows that now she can cooperate with the most popular and news-making popular artists, and her news will not only hide in the United States, but also increase worldwide.
Seeing the pay and treatment, she almost threw the script. Fortunately, the ups and downs in the past few years made her understand what is reality and what is cruel. She held back and finally considered it again and again and signed the contract. Not only did the long contract increase the market pay and she had to participate in all subsequent sequels, but the pay she got in the first season was really pitifully low.
Although she was ranked second in treatment after joining the crew, she was still far behind Chen Hao, who ranked first, and was only slightly higher than many of the main actors. Fortunately, she had the qualities that an actor should have. She put on a white coat and a relatively simple makeup and entered the filming. She thought she would have a few scenes to find her feeling. She thought it was nothing to have two shots for one scene, so she asked the director for time to adjust.
Nina found that the people around her looked at her strangely. After asking around, she found out what the rhythm of this crew was efficient. The director directly paused the filming of her scenes, giving her enough time to adjust, and continued to shoot other scenes.
One scene after another, step by step, Nina finally knew what those strange looks meant, which was a questioning of herself.
In this crew, everyone is here to shoot a scene, and other staff members are preparing the scene for the next scene. After shooting, everyone walks to the next shooting location with a relaxed look to continue shooting. It is not uncommon to have multiple shots. Every time there are multiple shots, everyone will immediately get together to see the mistakes and omissions of the multiple shots, and quickly correct them after finding the reasons; sometimes the actors themselves ask the multiple shots to be repeated. The most common thing they say to the director is that I have a better state.
Nina did not sleep well all night. She was reading the script and thinking about the role before three o'clock in the morning. Seeing those people's performances, she found that her previous understanding of the script was far from enough.
Before coming, someone told her that if you can have a scandal with Chen Hao, it will be a great thing for you and the entire "Prison Break". Besides, don't you want to get to know such a charming man in depth? She also had similar thoughts in her mind. After coming here, she saw Chen Hao in real life, and the kind of masculine charm she felt from him really made her forget her boyfriend a little. Maybe it would be wonderful if something happened with him.
At the end of the day, this thought did not disappear, but there was no soil for it to emerge. The high efficiency of the entire crew made her feel confused and unable to keep up with the pace. After a night of poor sleep, she had no time to think about anything else. All her thoughts were on how to play her role well.
When she gritted her teeth and tried hard to play this role well, she suddenly found that the state of MOUSE in front of her was also different. It was no longer a sense of distance in a businesslike manner, but it used some small details of the performance to actively lead herself, making a seemingly ordinary transition scene have a different flavor.
