Chapter 318 Everyone Is Unfortunate, Except the Egoists
After filming the fourth and third acts, the scenes in the mental hospital were also finished. They were put in the main film for about 4 minutes and took two and a half hours to shoot because the transition took more time.
There were not many lines, and the actors' acting skills were beyond words, so everything went smoothly.
At lunch, Yang Lingyue sat next to Liu Peiqi and exchanged some of his inner thoughts about Huang Dahai.
"This is how I understand it. Huang Dahai, who has no education and no skills, couldn't stand his wife's nagging, so he abandoned his wife and son and ran away from home. Apart from sending all the money he earned every month, he never fulfilled any family responsibilities.
Now there is no choice but to be the guardian. He doesn't understand what his son has been through, let alone what bipolar disorder is.
So the way they get along at the beginning must be very cautious, for fear of irritating his son who had just been discharged from the hospital and causing a disaster of killing.
But he still has a conscience. After all, he gave all the money he earned from working to his family, and he didn't leave his hometown again after his son was discharged from the hospital.
It's a mixture of fatherly love, prevention, family responsibility, etc."
Yang Ling nodded repeatedly as he listened.
"Squad leader, relatively speaking, your performance requirements are higher. Except for that explosive scene, it is right to have a dull expression most of the time. It is to be reflected by the eyes and micro-expressions. Come on.
The performance in the morning was very good, much better than the script reading."
Zhang Yi pulled the corner of his mouth when he heard Yang Lingyue's praise. During the script reading, I also have to have lines, isn't it better?
The shooting location in the afternoon is an old community near Dama. Before, Yang Wenchang said that it would be fine to shoot in the old house, but Yang Lingyue was obviously not happy that the people in the community basically knew each other, and it would be too difficult to have too many people watching.
The afternoon scenes are memories.
It is the rivalry between Alia, who plays the mother who is paralyzed by a stroke, and Zhang Yi. It is a very tense scene.
After Zhang Yi and Alia finished the lines, he said: "Sister Ai, please don't be polite, say hello hard, otherwise I don't know how many times I will be hit."
Alia complained with a smile. "The director is too cruel. Such a filial child, who massaged my legs and took care of my daily life, I beat and scolded him."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Yang Lingyue picked up the loudspeaker and said, "Sister Ai, if you perform normally in these scenes, you will win the Best Supporting Actress Award."
"Oh, then I thank the director. We can start at any time."
"Okay, all departments are ready."
"Act 6, first shot, first time, start."
Alia was lying on the sofa, with short hair and pale lips.
One foot was soaked in the basin, and one leg was placed on Zhang Yi's leg for massage.
Ailia's eyes were empty, and she said with a smile: "My family is rich, and I have studied in high school. Every day when I walk to the balcony, there are many boys waiting for me, begging me to marry him.
My father loves me the most. He often says that sons should go out to make a living, and the most important thing is that daughters must marry well."
When she said this, the corners of Ailia's mouth gradually turned downward, and her eyes were still empty, but they became visibly dull. She came back from the beautiful memories or fantasies and looked at her son who was massaging him.
After just one glance, he turned his head away again, and his eyes became unfamiliar.
With a sneer, he continued lightly: "Who knows, he was sold to this hellhole of yours by human traffickers."
Obviously, Zhang Yi had heard these words since he was a child, and he had long been accustomed to listening to them in one ear and out the other.
At this time, he was pressing on the knee.
Alia suddenly twitched "ah ah", and it looked very painful.
Zhang Yi did not look dull and looked ahead, and continued to massage.
Then Alia cursed "you bastard" and hit Zhang Yi's head hard, and Zhang Yi dodged.
Then he panted and cursed: "Are you going to kill me?"
Zhang Yi came back to his senses, but didn't say anything. He felt wronged, shocked and angry... He turned his head and continued to rub Alia's feet, but he gritted his teeth, and his masseter muscles jumped.
"Great."
Yang Lingyue couldn't help but applaud.
"Sorry, sorry." Alia apologized repeatedly.
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Yi waved his hands repeatedly.
"One more."
So Zhang Yi was beaten again.
"Change clothes and prepare for the next scene."
The next scene is still the mother and son's rivalry.
Alia sat on the sofa, watching TV, humming a Cantonese song in extremely unstandard Cantonese.
"Beauty fades easily, spring goes and flowers wither, forget the love and talk about the endless road ahead, the origin of love is like sweet and bitter, it's terrible."
As she sang, she shed tears.
At this time, Zhang Yi, wearing a suit and tie and carrying a bag, opened the door and entered the painting.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Alia wiped her tears with both hands, restored her expressionless posture, and did not look back at her son behind her.
After Zhang Yi put down his bag, he silently picked up the fallen stool and the fallen photo frame.
Alia reached out and swept the water cup on the coffee table in a deflated manner, making a "clang" sound.
Zhang Yi did not react, still with a accustomed look on his face, continued to put the stool back in place, squatted down to pick up the water cup.
He whispered: "The doctor said that the nanny had a second-degree burn on her forearm, but she said that she accidentally burned it. I have already negotiated the compensation. It's okay."
Alia struggled to stand up, staggered to the cabinet opposite, where various medicines were placed, and spread her hands on the ground.
Zhang Yi hurried over to hug Alia and said: "Don't do this, don't do this. Come, sit down, sit down, I'll find it."
But Alia struggled hard and then fell to the ground.
"Ka, not enough, Alia, your emotions are not enough, Zhang Yi, change your lines to soothing low voice, not like escaping. Get ready, then do it again."
Until the end of this performance, Yang Lingyue called Ka and put forward her new requirements.
"Yes, it's better to be soothing." Chen Lin on the side echoed.
Wang Zizhao and Liu Dapeng looked at each other and understood each other's eyes: Lao Chen is always a master of flattery!
After taking two more shots, Yang Lingyue was satisfied.
"Take a break for half an hour and prepare for the next one."
Yang Lingyue closed his eyes and took a nap after saying that.
Seeing this, everyone subconsciously whispered.
All the scenes in this shooting location are memories. Through dialogues, lines and plots, the characteristics and origins of the role of the mother are shown, and the most important thing is to show how Huang Shidong's bipolar disorder came about.
The mother regarded Huang Shidong as the source of suffering. This was the concept of people at that time. No matter how it came about, since she had given birth to a son, she should just live in confusion.
But her own character flaws, tragic experiences, her husband's cowardice and evasion, her favorite youngest son who went to another country and no longer had any contact with her family, she was depressed and paralyzed by a stroke.
Everyone was unfortunate, except for the egoists.
