I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 86: One Fainted (14)

The fourth time still didn't work, Shen Liang's shouting was too dry...

No tears came out!
Not to mention the director behind the monitor, Shen Liang himself felt embarrassed...

It's okay to just shout it out, but the expression after that is the key...

This is a close-up!

Under such circumstances, Liu Qi had actually made up his mind to die.

Many years ago, when Liu Qi couldn't make a decision, Liu Peiqiang sacrificed his mother. Along the way, Han Ziang sacrificed himself, and Liu Peiqiang sacrificed himself in front of him...

Therefore, in this situation, Liu Qi actually has no will to survive...

Shen Liang can't act that way at all...

"Director...let me adjust it!"

The staff helped Shen Liang to the rest area. Shen Liang quickly took off his mask and vomited, then gasped for air...

Li Guangjie came over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It smells so bad... I can't get into the mood at all when I smell this!"

“…Does it smell that bad?”

"Uncle, we've been filming for over a month now. I've never been a pretentious person, but I really can't help it!"

Li Guangjie nodded: "You have two sets of clothes... Change into one!"

"That costume was broken... We were filming the scene where Han Ziang died that day, and the costume was ruined..."

"That won't work. You can't put your emotions into it. You'll never get through this scene..." Li Guangjie stood up and shouted, "Props!"

The props team came over quickly; "Teacher Li?"

"Give him a new set of clothes. It's all stinky in here. How can he breathe?"

The props staff looked embarrassed: "...There are no costumes...How about I spray you some air freshener?"

Li Guangjie angrily said: "Stop criticizing me earlier!"

"You use it almost all the time, we don't have time to maintain it..."

Shen Liang waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay... Haven't you heard that if you go to an abalone shop for a long time, you won't smell the stench anymore! Just wait for me to get used to it... Uncle, go over there and sleep for a while, I'll take a rest..."

……

It’s not that easy to get used to…

This scene was shot thirteen times, and it was almost dawn when Guo Fan shouted "Cut!"

He shouted, and Shen Liang simply lay on the ground...

Exhausted...

When actors have to do too many NGs, they become a bit mechanical and numb...

Guo Fan had said everything he should have said, but Shen Liang really couldn't do it!

The moment when a person is experiencing a huge emotional impact is often the most demanding part of acting skills. In just a few seconds, he or she can change several expressions in succession...

It's normal that Shen Liang can't hold up, after all, he is not a professional actor.

Guo Fan even suggested not taking close-ups but just taking pictures from the back...

Shen Liang refused - only when actors appear in close-ups more often can they leave a deep enough impression on the audience.

By reducing the close-up to his back and adjusting the camera to shoot from the side, his acting flaws would indeed be covered up, but the audience would also have no impression of him...

Generally speaking, the director wouldn't do this on purpose!

——Few directors would give a side shot of a main actor when a close-up from the front is needed.

Unless the actors really can’t meet the requirements!
Or maybe the director has a grudge against the actor - "The Rush" is...

It's impossible to let the entire crew waste time with you...

Fortunately, Shen Liang had a breakthrough during the last repetition. Thinking back, it was probably because his physical strength had just reached that state...

Guo Fan looked at Shen Liang, who was slumped on the ground and gasping for breath, and asked, "Can we continue?"

"Of course," Shen Liang was a little excited and nodded decisively: "My current state is very close to Liu Qi!"

"Come on, let's continue!" Guo Fan drank a cup of black coffee and signaled the staff on the scene to continue filming!
……

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Wu Jing arrived at the crew and was surprised to find a group of people filming...

"So early... Oh my god, you guys didn't sleep all night?"

Wu Jing casually pulled a staff member on the scene and was about to ask about the situation, but then he saw that his face was greasy and full of fatigue. He immediately guessed that he had been up all night!
"Well, the director and Shen Liang are in surprisingly good shape..."

“When did you start filming?”

"Yesterday around 7pm..."

"We've been working for 13 hours," Wu Jing said speechlessly, "Aren't you tired?"

"…They will come over to replace me later…"

"What about the director?"

"The director...if he can't handle it anymore, he'll call for a stop!"

Wu Jing sat down with interest, watching the filming and said, "Then I'll wait a while... Is there anything to eat?"

"It's there. Milk, buns and bread..."

"The food is good. Go get me a glass of milk, two loaves of bread and four buns!"

"Ok!"

Wu Jing was eating while waiting. After a while, Gong Geer came and saw Wu Jing sitting in the staff seat. He hurried over and said, "Brother Jing..."

"Well, I looked at the production schedule. I have three scenes today..."

"I'll go call Guo Fan!"

Wu Jing waved his hand: "It's okay, wait until they finish filming first... Is Guo Fan always this crazy?"

Gong Geer shook his head: "...No, he rarely stays up late to shoot. He usually shoots for 16 or 7 hours a day, sleeps for three or four hours, and drinks five large cups of iced coffee! But he rarely shoots all night, after all, actors also need rest!"

Wu Jing was shocked again: "Is it like this every day?"

"Well, it's always like this after the official shooting!"

"How can this be called filming? This is playing with your life!"

Gong Geer gave a bitter smile: "There is no other way. We have invested a lot of money in setting up the scenery, props, costumes, etc. What is more difficult is that there is no precedent for such a subject matter and such an approach in domestic films. We have no one to learn from or refer to, and no one can help us. We can only grope forward little by little on our own. Time is very tight, so we can only risk our lives!"

"What about the actors?"

"The actors, especially Shen Liang, worked even harder. He often accompanied Guo Fan to review the day's filming before returning to his room to rest... He also served as the atmosphere adjuster for the crew..."

Wu Jing glanced at Shen Liang, who was immersed in his emotions in front of the green screen, and said, "No wonder you like him so much!"

"...It's hard not to like someone like him...Everyone in our crew likes him, and he also helped us find professional costume and prop designers..."

"How did you find it?"

"I heard that he was shouting during the live broadcast..." Gong Geer was speaking when he saw Shen Liang fainted. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Xiao Shen!"

Not only him, but the crew members had already gathered around him, helped him unbutton his helmet, and tentatively felt his breath... Then the medical staff rushed over and checked him...

Wu Jing also walked over: "Are you okay?"

The doctor who was examining put down the stethoscope in his hand and said casually: "It's nothing, probably too tired..."

"Then send him back to rest!"

"Um…"

"I'll take him there!" Chen Jiadong trotted over and breathed a sigh of relief... and took Shen Liang.

"Xiao Shen can't be that fragile, right?"

"I heard he didn't rest during the day..."

"Of course I am. I was busy all day yesterday and filmed for more than ten hours at night... Even a strong body can't stand it!"

"What about the director?"

"director…"

Guo Fan saw Shen Liang getting into the car, and then said: "I don't have to wear 60 kilograms of clothes..."
