Chapter 387 How to Get Compensation?

A journey on a mountain road is full of twists and turns.

Huang Kairen sat in a van, bumping along the undulating mountain road.

When he arrived at the shooting site, the sunset had already sunk halfway, leaving only half a circle above the horizon.

Originally, Huang Kairen was not going here, but because of the temporary adjustment of the shooting, in order to catch up with the daylight and shoot the night scene, he changed to here.

When the car stopped, Huang Kairen felt that his internal organs were about to be shaken out.

He resisted the discomfort and nausea, got out of the car, and saw that he was in a forest.

"Where are the people?" Huang Kairen was stunned, because there was no one around.

He looked back at the driver and the person who came to pick him up in surprise.

"Teacher Huang, wait a moment, we haven't arrived yet, but the road behind is not easy to drive, so we have to walk in." The other party said.

Huang Kairen was surprised.

Then, after walking for about ten minutes, he saw a group of people in the distance and saw the familiar scene of the set.

The lighting had been set up.

The dusk was thick, and there was a sense of oppression that everything was swallowed up.

The staff who came to pick him up said, "Teacher Huang, we are here."

Between heaven and earth, the dusk had only the last layer of lingering afterglow.

The mottled shadows of trees and the voices of people coming and going intertwined, like a mirage that was about to wake up.

I don't know if it was because of the bumpy ride that made his head dizzy and a little dazed, or if the scene in front of him at this moment was too detached from the usual reality.

Huang Kairen's heart seemed to be gently hit by a hammer.

It knocked out the long Buddhist sound in the ancient temple in the deep mountains.

"Teacher Huang?" The staff called again.

He woke up from a dream, and for a moment, a bitter smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Actor, why do you want to be an actor?

Huang Kairen's mind floated again.

Before coming, he roughly thought that his heart would waver in not wanting to play "Rouge Button", but he didn't expect his heart to waver so quickly.

It was not a divine revelation, but this atmosphere.

In addition to fame and fortune, what else do actors pursue?

Others may not know, but Huang Kairen enjoys the process of playing a character.

Why do many actors say they want to act in movies instead of TV series? Especially those top actors. Is it purely because of the contempt chain that movies are higher than TV series? People who hold this idea actually ignore the simplest yearning of people for good and beauty. Actors like Huang Kairen like acting, and they are actors with more acute sensitivity than ordinary people, especially so. He also yearns to act in movies and yearns for that more extreme performance environment.

In the current film and television production environment, there will definitely not be any TV crew that will come to such a deserted place like the wilderness that takes so long to shoot a scene.

So, why was Huang Kairen touched at that moment just now?

Because this group of people in front of them, in order to get the most extreme and closest to the real shooting environment, they can ignore the time, location, and don’t care how far away from human society the environment of this place is and how close to the original ecology it is.

Huang Kairen is not the kind of actor who seeks comfort, otherwise he would not try every possible means to transform. He is not the kind of actor who will not accept a certain role or a certain play because the shooting environment is not good or he suffers a lot. On the contrary, he actually enjoys the state of being challenged and hard in order to act in a play. He likes the load, and when he overcomes this load, he will get a kind of pleasure.

However, in his past shooting experience, there are very few such times.

Lian Xun also knows.

But Lian Xun said: "It doesn't mean that ascetic actors are good actors. You have walked ahead of many peers. No one says that your acting skills are bad. Why do you have to make yourself suffer again?"

Huang Kairen thought to himself that Lian Xun actually never understood him from beginning to end.

-

"He thinks I don't understand him, and thinks I am just a profit-seeking agent."

Lian Xun drank with friends and complained. He got emotional when he talked about it, feeling annoyed, dissatisfied and disappointed.

A friend said, "Why don't you let him shoot a movie he wants to shoot?"

"Because his acting skills are not that good. He can show excellent acting skills in the movies I picked for him, but that doesn't mean he can play anything!" Lian Xun said dissatisfiedly, "Look at Lu Yanhe. He can act. Even a fool can see that he can play anything. Of course, he is not afraid of playing anything. Even if he plays a villain, he can play it very charmingly. But does Huang Kairen have this ability?"

"He hasn't acted before. How do you know he doesn't have it?"

"I'm his agent. If I I don't even know if he has the ability to do this, so I'm working for nothing? Don't think I really treat him as a job to make money. I tell you, I really treat him as a brother. Do you think I am just profiteering and greedy for money? I also hope that his career will develop well and reach a high level in the future. However, everyone has their own limitations. You also have to look at what kind of material he is. If you insist that someone who is clearly on the road to stardom should be an acting school, why force him to do this? "

My friend laughed and said, "What you said, who doesn't want to reach a higher level?"

"Who said that the height of an actor must be higher than that of a star?" Lian Xun said very dissatisfied, "This is all blown up by you people. This is the entertainment industry, the show business circle, not the drama stage, nor the What is the performing arts circle? This is a stage for making stars. Even if you are an actor, it is to create an acting star. In the past few years, has every famous legend and big star been an actor? Yes, but if you really choose to be an actor, then you should go to the drama stage. Movies and TV dramas are all about the times, not acting."

"You say that, but others don't admit it."

"But why couldn't Huang Kairen understand this? When he saw Lu Yanhe suddenly appear, he felt that he could do it too." Lian Xun was so annoyed, "I don't know who is there. I encouraged him behind the scenes and thought he was also at that level.”

-

Huang Kairen sat in a corner, completely acting as an audience, quietly watching everything in front of him.

The makeup artist is applying make-up to Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige.

Both of them should look a little embarrassed at this time, because they ran out overnight.

Huang Kairen heard Lu Yanhe say: "Actually, shouldn't my mouth be a little drier at this time?"

The makeup artist turned to look at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong stood in front of them.

He said: "It won't look good if it's too dry. I don't want the scene between you and her to be unattractive at this time. The scene at night is when the whole story has the most sense of storytelling. It's too realistic and it doesn't look good."

Lu Yanhe smiled and did not refute.

This story is set in the context of the Republic of China. A young man secretly fell in love with the lady next door. Her man died in the war and she became a widow.

But her man's boss, a murderous warlord, forced her to marry into his house as a concubine.

Impulsively, the young man eloped with her one night. The woman followed him all night and stayed in an ancient temple. She listened to him tell stories about silently falling in love with her until he leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

Before dawn, the woman got up, covered the boy with her cloak, went back alone, and married the warlord.

There isn’t much storytelling, it’s all about mood and atmosphere.

For actors, it is very difficult to act.

But for capable actors, there is a lot of room for performance.

"You ran away with the wife you always liked. This is just the shell of the story, but I don't want to shoot a realistic picture. This night, it was like a sudden fireworks, it happened very suddenly, but even so, Your embarrassment and nervousness are also intertwined with a rapidly rising enthusiasm that breaks through the conventional constraints and restrictions. You should understand what I mean, right? It's like a butterfly trapped in a spider web. , finally broke free this night and flew towards the bonfire, such a scene. "

Lu Yanhe thought carefully and nodded.

"Impulsive and enthusiastic, with a juvenile, idealistic passion."

Chen Bige said: "I already have an idea. In fact, in this short film, I never actively did anything from the beginning to the end. The perspective of the short film is that of a teenager. From the perspective of a teenager, I am dignified and generous. It is gentle and steady. Director, you want to have a dreamlike enthusiasm. In fact, in this kind of enthusiasm, I am still quiet and taciturn. I want to perform a breathless performance, like a portrait accompanying a young man. All around me, it felt like it was all a dream for him. It was only at the last dawn that the perspective of this short film changed, and I took the initiative for the first time, leaving him and going back again."

"I have a tolerance for him that is definitely not just love. In my understanding, I actually have no love for this boy." Chen Bige said, "I just see in him the person who was by my side." Man, in his body took the place of my dead husband.”

Wang Zhong sighed heavily.

"I was worried that you would design it like this."

"Huh?" Chen Bige was stunned.

"But I like that you are attracted to this young man." Wang Zhong said, "You take the place of your dead husband, see the shadow of your husband in the young man, and have a kind of tolerance for him. All of these are okay, I don't want to Objection, you can use it yourself, but one thing is that she must be attracted to the boy. Without this layer, I think the story will be tacky. You can make the acting complicated, but you can't act too logically. sex, to reduce the discomfort of the audience - you yourself still feel that you are much older than him, and if you really like him, others will be more or less uncomfortable with it, so you designed this for yourself. With a line of logic, you can convince yourself and the audience.”

Wang Zhong pointed out Chen Bige's character logic line to the point.

"But we are not making a film to please the audience, even if it is a little offensive. I hope this short film has something a little unconventional."

Chen Bige fell into silence.

When Lu Yanhe saw this, he also closed his mouth and kept quiet, giving Chen Bige space to think.

-

"Pursuing art, pursuing richness and literature of characters, and telling the truth, do you think this is still the era?" Lian Xun asked his friend.

"A good character design can make an artist suffer for a lifetime, but a bad character design will cause actors to be scolded. There are too many examples of this." Lian Xun said, "If you don't play a role that the audience likes well, you have to play it." Playing a person who betrays his lover and is selfish and unlucky is a very different role. I have never played it before, but why doesn't he think about it? Why hasn't he played it before? Choose such a role?"

My friend said: "Lian Xun, you are right, but you also have to think about it. Even if Huang Kairen is a star, an entertainer, not an artist in your eyes, it cannot stop others from pursuing art." My heart, you keep blocking him, how do you think he will feel? "

Lian Xun wanted to continue talking.

His friend interrupted him and did not let him speak.

"Don't you know that your mother is doing you a favor by asking you to stay up less late? Have you done it?"

"Don't you know it's good for you to think differently about this? Do you accept it?"

Xun was scolded so much that he didn't even say a word.

"He is not a puppet in your hands. He is going to hit the wall. You have to let him hit it. On the one hand, he may exceed your expectations and break the wall. On the other hand, he may not break the wall. OK, Then he himself knows that you are right." My friend said, "If you never let him hit the wall, in his eyes, you are the biggest wall for him to surpass himself, then be prepared to part ways with him in the future. "

Xun couldn't even say a word.

My heart felt like a draft.

-

got windy.

Chen Bige raised his hand and gathered his cloak.

A gentle smile flashed across her eyes.

As soon as she smiled, the boy's heartbeat seemed to have stopped. He was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately looked back and said, "Husband, Madam, there is an ancient temple in front of you. Let's go and take a rest."

The boy's voice was filled with embarrassment.

Chen Bige nodded lightly, "Okay."

She has very few lines, and her expressions change very little, but her face and eyes are full of stories.

Every time she looked at the young man, her eyes contained deep and complex emotions, and they were concentrated in them. Through a layer of fog, only some shadows could be seen.

Even from a distance, Huang Kairen did not look at the close-up on the monitor, but just looked at it with his own eyes, and he could still feel the atmosphere between the two actors.

At night, in the forest, the cold light of the moon shines through the shadows of the tree branches.

The water mist curls up and the birds chirp like jade.

At this moment, the natural environment and artificial effects merge into one.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige stood less than five meters away from Huang Kairen, but they seemed to be separated by time and space.

This clear sense of fragmentation, as if you can truly see the past scene in the light and shadow of the mirage, is a shooting scene that Huang Kairen has never seen before.

The shooting scene itself seems to have become a work of art.

Huang Kairen pursed his lips in silence.

He didn't notice that Xin Zixing was standing behind him, studying his devoted expression, looking at him quietly and intently, as if staring.

Xin Zixing never thought that Huang Kairen's acting talent was enough to make him a great acting master.

But she knew his devotion and love for acting.

Therefore, even if he may not be able to perform well, in the process of performing, isn't it a kind of wish-fulfillment?

Xin Zixing doesn't care whether Huang Kairen can win the award, but she hopes he can get what he wants.

She had never said these words to him.

Huang Kairen always felt that she didn't understand his feelings about acting as an actor.

Xin Zixing really doesn't understand the charm of acting. If she did, she might become an actress herself.

But she doesn't need to understand. As long as she knows what he cares about, what he cares about, and what he really wants, as his lover, she will use all her strength to help him realize it. (End of chapter)
