Chapter 342: Acting Skills Triggered by a Can of Beer
The scene to be filmed now is the state of the male protagonist dawdling in the capsule before meeting the female protagonist.
The living space of this capsule is very small, Lu Zhiyao is relatively tall, when sitting on the bed, the top of his head is only a dozen centimeters from the ceiling.
The interior decoration of the entire capsule is in a very simple and technological style without extra decoration.
Where there should be a TV screen, there is a large green screen, and the TV programs are all composited in post.
There are also some props for shooting, such as fast food relief meals, potato chips and beer, etc.
Of course, these props are also customized. Take beer as an example, some special stickers are pasted on the outside of ready-made long cans of beer. On the one hand, it is to cover the original trademark, and on the other hand, it is to highlight the The setting of the background of this worldview.
In addition to the imaginary beer logo printed on the beer cans, there are also some colorful advertisements. This is because according to the setting of the script, advertisements in this future world have penetrated everywhere, even the beer cans are not immune.
Then, Lu Zhiyao lay down in the capsule and started shooting.
It starts with a few shots of doing nothing in the capsule and watching TV commercials.
These shots are relatively easy to shoot, and I don’t have much acting skills to show, so after a few shots, it will pass quickly.
Next, is the shot of eating a relief meal.
There is a special dining area in the living capsule, just opposite the bed, there is a small table for one person, there is a small screen on the wall next to the table, and there is a dining outlet.
The small screen is also a green screen, and the menu for ordering food will be made with post-production special effects. When no food is ordered, this small screen will play various food advertisements in a loop.
The content of this scene is also very simple, that is, it is time to eat, and the male protagonist receives today’s relief meal here. A miserable word.
Lu Zhiyao sat down beside the small dining table, staring blankly at the dining outlet.
Because every day, whether watching advertisements or receiving relief meals, is already a routine at a fixed time, and there is no expectation at all. Lu Zhiyao has to act out this feeling of no expectation.
With a "click", the food outlet opened, and a tray-shaped object that seemed to be in good packaging and appearance fell out of the food outlet and fell on the dining table.
Lu Zhiyao expressionlessly tore off the seal made of tinfoil, revealing the black and white powder inside.
Pei Qian asked in a low voice, "What's in here?"
Zhu Xiaoce replied in a low voice: "Milk powder and chocolate powder."
Pei Qian nodded: "It's okay."
At least this thing can be eaten, it seems that there is no need to add money to Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao took the tray, stretched it to the water outlet next to it to take warm water, and then stirred it evenly with the small spoon attached to the tray.
Of course, the whole process is still muddled and without expectations.
Then, he picked up the spoon and started feeding it into his mouth spoon by spoon.
While eating, Lu Zhiyao was still staring at the small screen next to him.
Although it is a green screen now, the special effects in the later stage will be a variety of cool food advertisements.
When Lu Zhiyao looked at the green screen, his eyes had to change, showing his yearning and expectation for these delicacies, and he also had to make some subconscious small movements, such as swallowing saliva, licking his lips and so on.
"Card!"
"The expression just now was a bit too forceful. According to the plot, you should watch these advertisements every day, so there is no need for such a big reaction, just show some instinctive reactions to food."
"Overall it's great, OK, another one!"
Director Zhu Xiaoce would point it out in time when he saw something inappropriate, and Lu Zhiyao also tried his best to cooperate.
After taking a few shots, this scene is over.
Pei Qian sighed silently, this Lu Zhiyao, his acting skills are not bad?
It feels like he is holding his breath for participating in "A Better Tomorrow" this time.
Lu Zhiyao has been called "box office poison" before. Although his acting skills are not bad, he will inevitably be criticized by the audience.
The most criticisms are that he is too handsome, ungrounded, acting too hard, making people play and so on.
But this time, Lu Zhiyao is really serious about playing a decadent person.
Although he is handsome and his decadent state is not that miserable, this feeling of decadence is indeed shown.
The scene management began to get busy, and continued to prepare for the next scene.
Zhu Xiaoce said to Pei Qian: "Mr. Pei, the next thing is the highlight."
Pei Qian: "Huh?"
Zhu Xiaoce pointed to a few cans of beer over there: "Next is a close-up of drinking beer."
"The plot is that the hero won a lot of quiz coins by participating in the quiz on the TV show, so he rewarded himself with a can of beer."
"In order to play this plot well, Lu Zhiyao has never drank beer since the day in Jingzhou."
"Usually I don't even drink much water, I just drink some bad drinks, such as black pine sand, red snake grass water, western tree roots..."
"Just to be able to dedicate that impressive acting skill while drinking this beer."
Pei Qian: "...you don't have to fight like this, do you? Are these drinks for people to drink? It's just for filming, there's no need to risk your life..."
Director Zhu Xiaoce smiled: "How can I say this is the self-cultivation of a qualified actor. Even Mr. Zhang Zuting is full of praise for Lu Zhiyao's acting attitude."
Pei Qian: "..."
Really don't have to work so hard!
At that time, if a classic lens that can be searched for is created, it will be a big deal!
However, Pei Qian doesn't know how Lu Zhiyao is going to act now, so he can only watch silently from the sidelines and maintain a high state of alert.
At the beginning of this scene, Lu Zhiyao first performed the whole process of winning the lottery to the green screen.
The anxiety of waiting for the results of the TV show, to the revelry alone in the capsule after learning of a small profit, to the anticipation of coming to the dining outlet to buy a can of beer.
After two or three scenes, it was time to shoot the beer scene.
Lu Zhiyao came to the small screen next to the dining outlet, and pretended to operate in front of the green screen, not forgetting to add drama to his face: the joyful smile of guessing money still remained on his face, and then There is also a hint of anticipation about drinking beer, plus some small movements of licking lips subconsciously...
Pei Qian, who was next to Zhu Xiaoce, clearly saw a series of micro-expressions of Lu Zhiyao. At this time, if he misses Xiao Xianrou making a movie, he will only call 1234567.
With a "click", a can of beer fell out of the dining outlet.
Lu Zhiyao immediately grabbed it excitedly, and he could still see a few drops of water hanging on the cool cold beer. He opened the can with a bang, then raised his head, tons, tons, tons...
After drinking more than half of the can, Lu Zhiyao stopped, and let out a very happy and satisfied breath, looking at the can of beer in his hand, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Wiping the froth from the corner of his mouth, Lu Zhiyao raised his head again with some unsatisfied feelings, and drank the remaining half of the can of beer in one gulp, until the can was empty and kept pouring it into his mouth, as if he didn't want to let it go any drop.
In the end, Lu Zhiyao reluctantly threw the empty beer can into the garbage bin, wiped his mouth, burped contentedly, and then returned to the bed and began to lie down.
This wine hiccup was very natural, it should not have been planned, it was entirely because Lu Zhiyao drank too much and hit it just right.
"stop!"
Theoretically, it should be called "cut", but this "stop" was called by Mr. Pei, so director Zhu Xiaoce hurriedly added another sentence of "cut", and then looked at Pei Qian very seriously.
"Mr. Pei, is there any problem with acting?"
Zhu Xiaoce knew very well that Mr. Pei was not only the sponsor of this movie, but also the original author of the script.
If Mr. Pei has opinions on some of the plots in this movie, it must mean that the plot deviates from the original intention of Mr. Pei's work, and the opinions of the original work must be respected and revised.
Pei Qian was a little helpless.
Brother, you are too hard!
It's just drinking a can of beer, your expression is more exaggerated than that of the little master of China!
It’s just short of a piece of “The Great Wall of Thousands of Miles” BGM, and then put on the special effects of golden light, and then add some sea and sky backgrounds...
Pei Qian even foresaw the trending #路知远吃酒酒# on Weibo on the day the movie was released.
Pei Qian coughed twice: "It's really not necessary, just act a little more normally..."
"The male lead is a salty fish, it's best if you act like a salty fish."
Lu Zhiyao looked blank: "Huh?"
He is very confident in his acting skills. He originally thought that the scene just now should be recorded in film history, but it didn't impress the original author of the script.
this……
He had no choice but to look to Director Zhu Xiaoce.
Director Zhu Xiaoce pondered for a moment: "I didn't think so at first, but Mr. Pei said that... I also feel like I'm using too much force. Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"
Zhang Zuting nodded: "Mr. Pei really deserves to be the original author, and he has a good control over this story and this character."
"Maybe Mr. Pei's words are very common, but I can understand the general meaning he wants to express."
Pei Qian: "?"
It seems that the development of the situation is somewhat unexpected...
Zhang Zuting looked at Lu Zhiyao, and said earnestly: "Suppose, let's change the background of this scene."
"You are going to play the role of a hard worker who has to work eighteen hours a day. You can only drink a can of beer after a month of hard work, and you can't see any other entertainment activities around. Beer is the highest enjoyment..."
"Then your performance is qualified and the appeal will be very strong."
"However, the character you are playing now is an ordinary person in the future world."
"Does he drink a can of beer a month? Obviously not."
"Isn't there a higher enjoyment around him? Not at all."
"The small screen next to it will constantly show advertisements for other food and wine. Compared with those advertisements, the enjoyment brought by this can of beer is insignificant."
"The hero made money playing TV quizzes, so he rewarded himself with a can of beer. That is to say, as long as he wants to buy it, he can buy it anytime, just spend the deposit."
"So, this can of beer is not precious."
