Chapter 948 Seizing the Gun and Drinking the Bullet (Asking for Monthly Votes)

Chapter 949 Seizing the Gun and Drinking the Bullet (asking for monthly votes)

There are many difficult scenes in "Manchester by the Sea", and two of them are the most difficult.

One is the dialogue between Li and his ex-wife. Hao Yun pondered for a long time, playing Li and his ex-wife, acting with himself, and pondering again and again, and finally he studied it thoroughly.

The other is the scene in the police station.

After the child was engulfed by the fire, the male protagonist Li was asked to return to the police station for questioning.

It was a terrible mistake, but it did not constitute a crime, so the police officer immediately released him.

However, at this time, Li may need imprisonment more, using this physical punishment in exchange for psychological liberation.

He is a hostage kidnapped by self-blame and sadness, and the legal declaration of innocence also declares his "life sentence".

So, Li attempted to seize the gun and commit suicide, just to free himself.

When he shot without hesitation in the police station, whether the bullet was fired or not, he was already dead.

Feng Yuanzheng didn't receive any notice during the script reading, so he didn't come. Now that he was about to shoot the scenes related to him, he also arrived in Manchester by the sea in time.

"Please come..." Hao Yun was polite to him.

"Don't say that, you are giving me a chance, and I can be considered to have entered Hollywood." Feng Yuanzheng really valued this opportunity.

But he didn't mean to develop in Hollywood.

His path is different from that of ordinary people in the entertainment industry. He is now the vice president of the People's Art Theater and it is impossible for him to enter Hollywood.

Now friends help each other.

He can come here by just writing a report.

Because it snowed yesterday and the snow shoveling here was not timely enough, he was delayed until today, otherwise he should have arrived at the hotel yesterday.

"Then let's talk later, I'll shoot first." Hao Yun didn't say much.

In order to shoot today's scene, he had been brewing for several hours in advance.

Talking too much can easily ruin the work.

Feng Yuanzheng looked at Hao Yun in front of him with some doubts, and he admired Hao Yun's dedication to acting in his heart.

Many people in the industry have similar confusions.

For Hao Yun, who has already achieved success and will become a film master in the future, what kind of power makes him want to work so hard in the field of acting?

Hao Yun first filmed the scene where he was interrogated by two policemen.

His eyes were a little red, and he looked very decadent. However, after suffering such a blow, he did not cry or beat his chest.

It was still a very restrained performance.

His performance was almost defining adjectives such as loneliness, decadence, depression and mourning. The performance without tears was more touching than crying loudly.

Hao Yun sat there and calmly told the whole story of the fire. There was no expression on his face, and it seemed that he could not even blame himself. He just had a breath of air, which was neither up nor down.

It made the people around him very uncomfortable.

After explaining everything clearly, the police told him: "Li, you made a big mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. Forgetting the protective net on the stove is not a big crime. You will not be severely punished for making a mistake."

The police hesitated to speak about such a situation, and were cautious, fearing that they would touch the critical point of pain.

But they didn't know that this kind of forgiveness could not comfort the protagonist.

What he needed was punishment.

Not a light "You can go."

The whole set was very quiet. Maybe someone was crying and secretly wiped it away before others noticed.

This is too contagious. Knowing that this is a filming, there are a lot of people and a lot of equipment on the scene, the emotions will still be carried away.

"CUT!" Hao Yun made a gesture, and the assistant director announced a pause.

"Do it again? Okay! Five minutes to prepare!" The assistant director is Han Yan.

Wu Jing and Guo Fan are still in the crew of "Inception". Since they have been appointed to the crew, they must finish their work before leaving.

Doing it again is another torture.

Hao Yun didn't seem to care about this torture at all. His eyes were red. Although there were no tears, anyone could see the hidden sadness and pain on his face.

The first time, he needed the help of a makeup artist to render the emotions.

Later, it was completely unnecessary.

A scene was shot six times before it was passed. Hao Yun finally chose the version shot in the fifth time.

He originally thought that the fifth version was not enough. Later, after shooting the sixth version, he found that it was not just right. If the sixth version was really used, it would be a bit too much.

The previous scene has always been a restrained performance.

The protagonist Li played by Hao Yun seemed to be dead.

But just as he turned around and was about to leave, the distraught Hao Yun suddenly snatched the police's gun and prepared to commit suicide.

The actions before and after formed a sharp contrast, and the inner struggle and the battle between heaven and man were all revealed here.

When he witnessed that his fault led to an irreparable tragedy, his heart was broken.

When he could not relieve the burden of guilt through trial, his spirit collapsed.

Home no longer exists.

Where can he go if he leaves?

Desperate, he made a decision to judge himself, snatched the policeman's gun, and pulled the trigger at his temple without even the slightest hesitation.

The first shot failed, so he pulled the bolt decisively...

A group of people rushed over and took his gun.

During the script reading, someone asked Hao Yun a very provocative question.

He didn't succeed in committing suicide at the police station, so why didn't he go back and continue to commit suicide.

Hao Yun's answer was as shocking as the scene in front of him at this moment. Hao Yun looked at the man strangely at the time and asked, who said he didn't succeed in committing suicide?

He killed himself silently!

From then on, only a walking corpse-like empty shell remained alive in the world.

His soul will always stay on the night of the fire, and he will always live in the freezing winter.

This movie should perhaps be called "Manchester in Winter".

Two days ago, when Hao Yun reported to An Xiaoxi that he was safe, he sent a message saying that Manchester by the sea is really a beautiful seaside town, with blue sea and blue sky, white walls and red tiles, small boats sailing in the waves, seagulls flying freely, and the white snow reflecting the bright sunshine.

It's a pity that it's still too cold, so you should continue to stay in China and help pay attention to the box office of "Sword Rain".

But in fact, An Xiaoxi knew that Hao Yun was not in a good state.

Otherwise, he would not have just sent a message!

"Or... you can cry for a while, find a place where no one is, go back to the hotel, or go to the car... It seems not good to suppress it like this."

The Taoist's English level is not enough for him to understand the lines on the spot, but from Hao Yun's performance, he can feel that Hao Yun is immersed in a very heart-wrenching grief.

All he can do is make a cup of tea for Hao Yun to calm his nerves.

"Don't make trouble, I'm fine..." Hao Yun sat on the chair and drank tea calmly. After a while, he added: "Don't tell Mr. An about filming recently."

"I understand..." The fake Taoist couldn't understand, but respected Hao Yun's choice.

Taoism emphasizes inaction and open-mindedness.

"When a person is alive, his qi gathers; when a person dies, his qi disperses."

When Zhuangzi lost his wife, from the beginning of "How can I not feel sad" to the later "beating the basin and singing", it just reflects the Taoist's emphasis on life and the open-mindedness of facing death calmly.

The movie shot by Hao Yun is obviously contrary to their Taoist philosophy.

However, the fake Taoist priest is only an amateur Taoist priest after all, and he can only be open-minded in theory. Looking at the scene just shot by Hao Yun, the determination of grabbing the gun and drinking the bullet is also very shocking in his heart.

It took more than half a day to finish the scene of the police station, which is the result of Hao Yun's stable performance.

This means that the film will be finished in about forty days.

If the scene with the ex-wife goes well, this time can be compressed a little more.

Since Feng Yuanzheng is here, the focus will be on shooting his related scenes next.

The death of his brother and the fire are two important things that really affected the protagonist Li, and they are also the main reasons for giving the custody of the eldest nephew to Li.

Feng Yuanzheng's acting skills are very good. From some perspectives, he is not worse than Leonardo at all.

Leonardo is indeed very good, but there is really no trick in the Oscars not giving him an award.

For example, the scene where he lies on the hospital bed and listens to the doctor's description of his condition.

Hao Yun doesn't need to say anything at all.

Feng Yuanzheng can accurately grasp what should be done, and there are many small details that are also interpreted very well.

All his shots are passed at once, and if they are not passed, it is basically the problem of others.

He really doesn't lose the face of Chinese actors.

Hao Yun is in good shape, Feng Yuanzheng's acting skills are excellent, and the only one who can drag him down is Freddie Highmore.

Freddie Highmore was born in 1992 and is currently less than 18 years old.

In addition, he is 174cm tall, and he plays the 16-year-old nephew in the film, so there is no problem with his image.

Because Patrick, played by him, has his own band and is the main player of the basketball and ice hockey teams, Hao Yun asked him to look stronger, and he also trained a lot of muscles.

At least it was enough to film in winter.

He didn't have much problem in expressing emotions, but he was a little shy, so he was too shy in dealing with two girlfriends and being intimate with them.

Hao Yun had to postpone all such scenes.

First, he focused on filming the scenes of Hao Yun, Feng Yuanzheng, and Freddie Highmore.

As for Freddie Highmore's shyness in getting along with girls, he asked Freddie Highmore to find a way to solve it himself.

Whether he found a kind sister or the two girls who played his girlfriends in the crew to communicate with him and "honed" his skills, Hao Yun only asked Freddie Highmore not to affect his filming progress in any way.

He obviously has acting skills, and his acting skills are not bad, but he has too little experience.

As for whether he would force out a perverted scumbag, this was not within Hao Yun's consideration.

Anyway, Hao Yun had no energy to care about this.

Feng Yuanzheng's last scene was him lying on the hospital bed, and Hao Yun went over to say goodbye to him.

At this moment, the protagonist Li still had no expression.

Even the doctor who took him to the morgue to see his brother had a much richer expression than him.

Even George, who took his brother to the hospital, cried more sadly than him.

Hao Yun walked over and stood beside his brother's cold body. He may have recalled many past events, or he may have thought of nothing.

He leaned down and lay on his brother's shoulder.

He blinked his eyes, and blinked again...

But he didn't cry.

In this performance, Hao Yun was extremely restrained and introverted. In fact, it can be used as an Oscar moment, which can be projected on the big screen at the moment of winning the award.

Many Oscar winners often only win a simple Oscar moment, and they can be famous in Oscar history.

However, "Manchester by the Sea" has many Oscar moments.

These "many moments" are all extremely depressing.

Therefore, some people in the crew have resigned, saying that they are too depressed and the depression that has been cured for many years is about to relapse.

Hao Yun kissed his brother's cheek as a farewell.

Then he stood up and looked at his cold brother again. He seemed a little helpless in his calmness, but he said nothing and turned to leave the morgue.
