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

There are many difficult scenes to shoot in "Manchester by the Sea", two of which are the most difficult.

One section is a conversation between Li and his ex-wife. Hao Yun studied it for a long time, sometimes playing the role of Li, sometimes playing the role of his ex-wife, acting with himself, and studying it again and again before he could be considered to have studied it thoroughly.

The other part 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 not a crime, so the officer released him immediately.

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

He was a hostage held hostage by self-blame and sadness, and the legal declaration of innocence also declared him "life imprisonment".

So, Li tried to grab the gun and commit suicide, also wanting to free himself.

When he opened fire without hesitation at the police station, he was already dead, whether the bullet was fired or not.

Feng Yuanzheng did not receive any notice during the script reading, so he did not come. At this time, when the scenes related to him were being filmed, he also arrived in Manchester by the sea in time.

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

"Stop saying that. You're giving me a chance. I can be considered to have made it into Hollywood." Feng Yuanzheng really took this opportunity very seriously.

But he has no intention of developing 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 Theatre and it is impossible for him to enter Hollywood.

Now friends help each other.

He can just come over by writing a report.

Because it snowed yesterday and the snow was not shoveled promptly, he was delayed until today. Otherwise, he should have arrived at the hotel yesterday.

"Then let's talk about it later. I'll go to film first." Hao Yun didn't say much.

He had been planning for several hours in advance for today's scene.

Talking too much can easily lead to failure.

Feng Yuanzheng looked at Hao Yun in front of him with some doubt, but in his heart he admired Hao Yun's dedication to the performance.

Many people in the circle have similar confusions.

For Hao Yun, who has already achieved success and will surely become a film master in the future, what kind of force makes him 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 depressed. However, after suffering such a blow, he did not cry or beat his chest.

It’s still a very restrained performance style.

His performance almost defines adjectives such as loneliness, decadence, depression and grief. A performance without tears is more touching than crying loudly.

Hao Yun sat there, calmly narrating the entire story of the fire. There was no expression on his face, and he didn't even seem to blame himself. It was just that he was holding on with a breath, neither going up nor down.

It makes people around you feel very uncomfortable.

After he explained everything, 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 were hesitant to speak about such situations, and were very cautious, fearing that they would touch the critical point of pain.

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

What he needs is punishment.

Instead of a light-hearted "You can go now".

The entire set was very quiet. Maybe someone was crying and was secretly wiping away tears before anyone else noticed.

This is so damn contagious. Even though we know this is a movie shoot and there are a lot of people and equipment on the scene, the emotions are still 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 was Han Yan.

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

To do it again is just another torture.

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

The first time, I needed a makeup artist to help me create some emotions with makeup.

It is completely unnecessary later.

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

He originally thought that the fifth version was not good enough, but after shooting the sixth version, he realized that it was not just right and that if he really used the sixth version, it would be a bit too much.

The previous scene has always been a restrained performance.

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

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

The actions before and after form a sharp contrast, and the inner struggle and the battle between conscience and man are all revealed here.

His heart was broken when he saw his mistakes lead to irreparable tragedy.

When he was unable to relieve the burden of his guilt through trial, his spirit collapsed.

Home no longer exists.

Where can you go if you walk?
Heartbroken, he made the decision to judge himself, snatched the policeman's gun, and without even the slightest hesitation, pulled the trigger at his own temple.

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

A group of people rushed over and took away his gun.

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

Since he failed to commit suicide at the police station, why didn't he go back and try to commit suicide again?

Hao Yun's answer was as shocking as the scene before him. Hao Yun looked at the man strangely and asked, who said he didn't commit suicide successfully?

He killed himself silently! From then on, only a walking corpse-like empty shell remained alive in the world.

His soul will forever remain in the night of the fire, and he will forever live in the bitterly cold 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 indeed 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.

Unfortunately it’s still too cold, so you should continue to stay in the country and help keep an eye on the box office of "Sword Rain".

But in fact, An Xiaoxi knew that Hao Yun’s condition was not good.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t just send messages!
"How about... you cry for a while, find a place where no one is, go back to the hotel, or go to the car... It doesn't seem good to suppress it like this."

Dao Ye's English level was not good enough for him to understand the lines on the spot, but from Hao Yun's performance, he could feel that Hao Yun was immersed in an extremely heart-wrenching grief.

All he could do was make a cup of tea for Hao Yun to calm him down.

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

"I understand..." The fake Taoist priest 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 his initial words "How can I not feel sad" to his later "singing while beating the basin", it just reflects the Taoist's carefree attitude towards life and the ability to face death calmly.

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

But the fake Taoist priest was only an amateur Taoist priest after all, and he could only be open-minded in theory. Looking at the scene that Hao Yun had just filmed, the determination to snatch the gun and drink the bullet, he was also shocked in his heart.

The police station scene was filmed in just over half a day, which was the result of Hao Yun's stable performance.

This means that the film can be completed in about forty days.

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

Now that Feng Yuanzheng is here, we will focus on filming scenes related to him.

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

Feng Yuanzheng's acting skills are great. From some perspectives, he is no worse than Leonardo DiCaprio.

Leonardo is indeed very good, but there is really no trick involved in the fact that the Oscars did not give him an award.

For example, the scene where he lies on the hospital bed listening to the doctor explain his condition.

There is no need for Hao Yun to say anything.

Feng Yuanzheng is able to accurately grasp what should be done, and many small details are also interpreted very well.

All of his shots passed in one go, and if they didn’t, it was basically someone else’s fault.

It really does not bring shame to Chinese actors.

Hao Yun is in great shape, Feng Yuanzheng's acting is excellent, and the only one who can hold him back is Freddie Highmore.

Freddie Highmore was born in 1992 and is currently under years old.

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

Since the character he plays, Patrick, has his own band and is the main player of the basketball and ice hockey teams, Hao Yun asked him to appear stronger, and he also built up quite a bit of muscle.

At least it’s enough for filming in winter.

He didn't have any major problems expressing his emotions, but he was a little shy, so he seemed too shy when dealing with two girlfriends and getting intimate with them.

Hao Yun had to postpone all such scenes.

The main scenes of Hao Yun, Feng Yuanzheng and Freddie Highmore were filmed first.

As for Freddie Highmore's shyness around girls, he let Freddie Highmore figure it out himself.

Whether he was looking for some enthusiastic older sister, or looking for the two girls in the crew who played his girlfriends to communicate with him emotionally and "hone" his skills, Hao Yun only asked Freddie Highmore not to affect his filming progress in any way.

He obviously has acting skills, and they're pretty good, but he just has too little experience.

As for whether it would force out a sex maniac or a scumbag, that was not within Hao Yun's consideration.

Anyway, Hao Yun doesn’t have the energy to take care of this.

Feng Yuanzheng’s last scene was him lying on a hospital bed and Hao Yun went 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 his.

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 laid on his brother's shoulder.

Blinked, and blinked again...

But he didn't cry.

In this performance, Hao Yun showed extreme precision in his restraint and restraint. In fact, it could completely serve as an Oscar moment, a clip that can be projected on the big screen at the moment of winning the award.

Many Oscar winners for Best Actor and Best Actress often only need a simple Oscar moment to go down in Oscar history.

Yet Manchester by the Sea has many.

These “many” people are all lost to the extreme.

Therefore, some members of the crew have already offered to resign, saying that they are too depressed and the depression that they have been cured for many years is about to come back.

Hao Yun kissed his brother on the 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.
