Chapter 357 You Are Not Worthy to Raise His Child!
Tuesday, December 14.
Early this morning, Pei Qian came to the shooting location of "A Better Tomorrow".
It's been a while since I've been here, and I'm really worried.
The last time I came here was two weeks ago, Pei Qian casually asked Lu Zhiyao to play the salted fish, but unexpectedly, Lu Zhiyao had a big explosion of acting skills, which made this scene unanimously praised by the crew.
Therefore, during this period of time, Pei Qian suppressed his worries and did not go to the set again.
He was afraid of his unintentional words, so he let Lu Zhiyao have some new epiphanies, and then the situation got out of hand...
However, it won’t work if you don’t go all the time.
Pei Qian felt that he could not always hold the mentality of an ostrich, otherwise it would be too late if something happened.
It needs to be detected and treated early.
Even if the situation is irreversible, if you know about it earlier, you can at least be prepared to spend money in advance to reduce some losses for yourself.
So today, Pei Qian had nothing to do, and came to the filming scene again.
The set here is quite busy, and the staff shuttles back and forth.
Pei Qian didn't want to disturb everyone's work, so he just stood aside casually, watching the performance in the arena.
The surrounding scenery is no longer the narrow capsule, but has become the exterior of the future urban space.
Of course, it is said to be an exterior scene, but it was still shot in a studio, but there were a lot of green screens hung up.
Those cool future city scenes will be synthesized with special effects.
The close-up scenes are still set with physical objects. For example, in this scene, the hero and heroine want to eat together in a small roadside shop. The entire small shop is built, and the tables, chairs, tableware, decorations, etc. inside are all real objects.
In addition, the shop's signboard, the trash cans on the side of the road, the hero and heroine, and all the costumes of the actors in the mirror are also custom-made.
These are all props carefully crafted by the props group, which has a sense of real ones.
From these settings, it can probably be seen that this is a slum residential area similar to cyberpunk.
According to director Zhu Xiaoce's plan, the buildings in this movie will be roughly divided into four different styles:
The capsule space where the protagonist lives looks very technological, but it is cramped, narrow, and homogeneous in style. This is a unified welfare facility;
The slums of the outside world, where the hero and heroine meet and date. There are many small shops here, which look a bit like cyberpunk style, feasting and feasting, it looks very lively, but it is full of chaos and disorder;
The glamorous outside world, including scenes from talent shows. It looks very technological, spacious and atmospheric, and it is a sci-fi architectural style in a general sense;
The residences of the upper class are mainly in the style of classical mansions, with beautiful fireplaces, large oil paintings and wooden furniture that look expensive. They are only decorated with some high-tech elements to distinguish them from real mansions.
Because in the setting of the script, only the upper class can afford the "classical art" of oil painting and piano. In their circle, the "retro" architectural style is a trend, used to communicate with ordinary wealthy people. People make distinctions in taste.
The current scene was filmed in a "future urban slum" scene with some "cyberpunk" meaning.
This is the first time Pei Qian has seen the heroine of this show.
The actress is called Lin Ruyi, with a round face, big eyes, two beautiful dimples when she smiles, and a standard first love face.
Pei Qian tried to search for her information before, but he couldn't find any famous works. After asking, he found out that this is a newcomer who has just been scouted from the film school and has not graduated this year.
As far as appearance is concerned, Lin Ruyi is not particularly good-looking, because her face is round, so she is not very photogenic.
However, this also happens to be in line with the setting of the script.
Because in the script, the heroine is not a very stunning and overwhelming character, otherwise she would have been favored by the upper class, and the following stories would not have happened.
Pei Qian doesn't have any requirements for actresses, the only requirement is that she doesn't look too good-looking.
After all, now is an era where everything depends on appearance.
If the heroine is too good-looking, it may become a hot topic. If her acting skills are even better, the consequences will be even more disastrous.
If the heroine is too good-looking, even though she plays a green tea whore, the audience doesn't hate it at all, but likes it crazily, isn't that a bad thing?
Of course, Pei Qian also knew that it was not realistic to find an ugly actor as the heroine.
Therefore, this newcomer actor who doesn't look particularly good-looking is already a good choice for Pei Qian.
Soon, Pei Qian saw the plot of this scene.
The heroine has been on the talent show, but was not selected.
Now, the male protagonist played by Lu Zhiyao is resting and drinking drinks with the female protagonist in a small shop by the road.
Lu Zhiyao would try his best to make Lin Ruyi happy, while Lin Ruyi would carelessly agree with him.
And when Lu Zhiyao had a showdown and said that he had saved enough money to buy a two-person capsule, Lin Ruyi would suddenly explode, break out a few emotionally charged conversations, and then leave.
This scene can be regarded as a breaking point in the early and mid-term plot. In short, it can be summed up in four words: the hero is green.
Hey, this is really a timeless and classic poison point.
Pei Qian couldn't help feeling silently.
...
at this time.
Lu Zhiyao was thinking about the future, looking like he was licking a dog, quite humble.
It's just that, because he is handsome, even though he is licking a dog, it doesn't make people feel very uncomfortable, on the contrary, he feels a little pity for him.
Lin Ruyi, on the other hand, stared blankly at the drink cups on the table, nodded from time to time, or echoed a few words perfunctorily, obviously thinking about other things.
"I heard that there is another good restaurant nearby that will sell delicious imitation meat, standard purified water and red wine."
"The simulated meat we ate last time could only simulate about 60% of the taste of real meat, which is already very delicious. This restaurant is said to be able to simulate about 80% of the taste of real meat, and there are many flavors such as beef and chicken."
"There is also standard purified water. The standard purified water I drank before all had a smell of rust. It is said that the standard purified water in this store has almost no peculiar smell, and it also has a light fragrance, which is better than the water in the living capsule. hundred times."
"There is also red wine. Bottled red wine sold in capsules is very expensive. The price of red wine there is only about 70% of the price of vending machines in capsules, and it is said that there is almost no difference in taste."
"How about we try it together tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"
Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Ruyi opposite.
A polite smile appeared on Lin Ruyi's face: "Well, okay."
When she smiled, two shallow dimples appeared on her face, which looked very charming.
It's just that the smile disappeared quickly, and she continued to stare at the cup on the table absently, and took a sip indifferently, as if saying that the drink in the cup was tasteless.
Lu Zhiyao said a lot, and only got three words in exchange, so he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
However, he quickly adjusted his emotions.
Because today he has prepared a big surprise.
The two fell into a brief silence.
Lin Ruyi still didn't know what she was thinking, while Lu Zhiyao made up his mind to speak while drinking a drink.
"I know that the loss in the last talent show hit you hard."
"It's okay, everything will pass."
"Don't worry, I've already planned the future for the two of us."
Lin Ruyi raised her head and looked at Lu Zhiyao blankly, as if she didn't understand the meaning of his words: "Huh?"
Lu Zhiyao couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth: "I've saved enough money to buy a capsule for two people again!"
"We'll pick a suitable place tomorrow, and then you can move in!"
"Although the two-person capsule is not too big, we can gradually change to a bigger one in the future!"
"Maybe one day, we can also afford a 60-square-meter luxury apartment with a kitchen, so that our children can go out at 6 o'clock in the evening. If we are lucky, we can watch the sunset..."
Lu Zhiyao excitedly described the bright future in his imagination.
However, Lin Ruyi's face did not show any expression of joy, but became more and more impatient.
"You can keep the money, I don't want to live in a double capsule, and I don't want to marry you and have children."
"let's break up."
Lu Zhiyao's smile froze on his face.
"why?"
"What happened to you?"
"Since the draft, your state has been weird..."
"It's just a draft, it doesn't matter..."
Lin Ruyi said with a straight face: "You don't understand my feelings at all, so of course you don't care!"
Lu Zhiyao was speechless: "Honey, I know how you feel! I spent a lot of effort to save up the registration fee. This matter is a huge loss for both of us!"
Lin Ruyi seemed to be even more angry: "It is also a huge loss for you?"
"You just lost some bad money, and what I lost was my dream!"
Lu Zhiyao was speechless for a moment.
He suddenly realized that there was something strange about this matter, and asked, "My dear, what's the matter with you?"
"I don't seem to have made any mistakes. I just plan to buy you a two-person capsule. Why are you so angry?"
"Why am I angry?" Lin Ruyi's mood seemed to get worse, "everything!"
Both of them speak English, so saying everything is quite powerful.
"I'm angry at the watered-down, low-quality syrupy drinks from roadside shops, at the disgustingly greasy snacks, at being only able to get out for three hours a day to walk in the dark slums, with rats..."
Lu Zhiyao was dumbfounded: "But, aren't we living so happily in the first place? Why do you say... you..."
Seeing Lin Ruyi wearing more and more accessories and her slightly raised belly, a terrible guess appeared in his mind.
Lin Ruyi's emotions seemed to have collapsed. She covered her face with her hands and raised her head again after a long time. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she was extremely determined.
"Sorry, I don't want to hide from you anymore."
"I became the judge's lover and became pregnant with his child."
"So break up, we're done."
Lu Zhiyao's expression changed from suspicion to shock, then to despair, and finally to despair.
His body that was leaning slightly forward suddenly seemed to lose its support, and he collapsed on the chair.
Lin Ruyi stood up, ready to leave.
However, Lu Zhiyao grabbed her wrist violently.
"He didn't marry you, and he didn't give you a lot of money, did he?"
"He doesn't care about this kid at all, otherwise you wouldn't be broken and confused now, would you?"
"Even... He abandoned you the first time he found out that you were pregnant, right?"
Lin Ruyi's body trembled slightly.
Lu Zhiyao knew that he had guessed right, and that he still had a chance, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay..."
"It's going to be tough on your own, and no other man would want to take someone who's pregnant."
"You need me, and I will help you take good care of this child."
"Trust me, I won't mind this matter, I will definitely..."
There was pleading in his voice.
Lin Ruyi was silent for a few seconds, then flung Lu Zhiyao's hand away.
"The boy is of high blood."
"I don't want him to become a useless poor ghost like you."
Lin Ruyi strode away resolutely.
Lu Zhiyao, on the other hand, watched her leave, opened his mouth to shout something, but never said anything.
It was as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and his whole body "collapsed".
...
"Card!"
"Good, very good!"
"After taking seven or eight photos, I finally found one that I was quite satisfied with. Everyone has worked hard!"
Director Zhu Xiaoce took the lead in applauding and encouraging.
At this time, Lin Ruyi, who played the heroine, hurriedly bowed to director Zhu Xiaoce and the crew, and then bowed to Lu Zhiyao.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. If it weren't for your senior's acting skills, I wouldn't be able to put so much effort into the show."
Lu Zhiyao smiled: "Your acting skills are already good, I dare not take credit for that."
"Besides, I'm just a 'box office poison'. When it comes to acting skills, I really don't know who is guiding whom."
Pei Qian, who was silently watching from the sidelines, gave a thumbs up in his heart.
Awesome!
Seeing this scene just now gave him goosebumps, and he almost wanted to hit someone.
Lu Zhiyao played a dog licking to life, especially the last few sentences, which vividly explained what it means to "lick a dog without a house".
And Lin Ruyi played a green tea whore to the fullest.
The little emotions in the front are very well expressed, and the last two sentences are completely the finishing touch.
Pei Qian watched on set and felt severe discomfort.
Too poisonous!
Men will be silent when they see it, and women will cry when they see it.
Pei Qian felt that if he saw this movie in a movie theater, he would probably faint on the spot.
Moreover, Pei Qian also realized a major good news.
Maybe Lu Zhiyao's acting skills have improved, but it is a good thing for me?
If Lu Zhiyao's acting is not good, everyone may not have a sense of substitution, but will be secretly happy because Lu Zhiyao is so miserable in the movie.
After all, this product has no audience.
But now, Lu Zhiyao is acting well, and many people will naturally feel the dog-licking breath emanating from him, and they will feel an instinctive discomfort.
Those fans of Lu Zhiyao must also be furious, right?
In this way, there must be more people scolding this movie!
Pei Qian suddenly felt better.
It seems that it is not a big problem to accidentally improve Lu Zhiyao's acting skills a little bit.
As long as the book is poisonous enough, no matter how good the actors are, they won't be able to save them!
Pei Qian couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and stepped forward to chat with Director Zhu Xiaoce.
Let's start with a chapter of 4,000 words. I just went home at night, now I'm going to wash up a little bit, and write another chapter. The next chapter may be late, so please wake up tomorrow morning and read it again. Then continue to code words and make up changes after getting up tomorrow.
