Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 265 That's So Beautiful (200 monthly tickets plus more!)
After hugging Chen Nuo and crying for more than a minute, Liu Yifei's wrong perception in her brain finally reconnected with the reality.

But this reconnection is still a gradual process.

During this process, she hugged Chen Nuo's waist with her hands, put her face on his shoulder, hiccuping and sobbing intermittently.

Chen Nuo was not shy. He gently put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her, "Okay, okay, you acted very well. Calm down a bit. It's time for the next scene. You will cry again then."

Liu Yifei hiccuped while savoring the man's body temperature. She felt her heart slowly calm down. However, she was still a little frightened and couldn't help but say, "Hiccup... I... I, just now, hiccup... I really thought you were going to die, hiccup."

Chen Nuo laughed and said, "That's right, it's just acting, this is the normal situation. What you did before is not called acting, it's called puppet show."

Liu Yifei snorted, lightly punched him on the back, and said, "You are the one who performed...hiccups...a puppet show."

In the next shot, the two actors who play the third child’s parents, as well as some minor characters in the exploration team at his workplace, will appear.

At this time, the actors, young and old, tiptoed into the set room.

Chen Nuo smiled at them and signaled with his eyes, and then no one in the whole room spoke.

Even the staff members walked slowly and lightly.

In fact, everyone is used to this.

After all, the human body is not a machine, and it is not so easy to control it. Liu Yifei's crying scene just now can be said to be a long one. She cried for nearly a minute, and she was always in the most abundant emotional state.

This inevitably requires true feelings to serve as the driving force.

Therefore, she definitely needs some time to calm down afterwards, which is why Zhang Yimou said he wanted her to take a rest.

After a while, Liu Yifei finally calmed down.

She pushed Chen Nuo away, her whole face flushed, the thoughts in her mind were like a tangled mess that could not be untangled.

Chen Nuo rubbed his shoulders and said, "What are you doing? Use less strength."

Liu Yifei ignored him, hesitating for a while before saying, "What I just said, you... Chen Nuo, don't take it as true. I was just joking with you, I was filming a movie."

This is not nonsense?
Didn't you change those weird lines and improvise a little bit?
What can I take seriously?

Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on. Just as he was about to ask what was going on,
At this time, Zhang Yimou came over.

Wow.

Liu Yifei felt embarrassed about what happened afterwards.

It can be said that in her entire life, from the world of gold and powder to the whispers of the wind, she had never been praised like this before.

Especially when Zhang Yimou took her and Chen Nuo to the monitor to watch the replay.

After watching it, director Zhang Yimou said with emotion: "Yifei, Chen Nuo called me at that time and said that you have no problem and can perform well, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems that he was right and I was wrong. You acted really well in this scene."

Liu Yifei saw Chen Nuo smile and started saying some polite words to Director Zhang that only adults would say.

However, she didn't hear a single word of what was said.

The next step in filming is to finish shooting the final scene of the film.

This scene is not long, with only five shots in total.

Moreover, the most important crying scene has been filmed, and the rest of the shots are of Liu Yifei following a minor role in the exploration team to the hospital to visit the third brother.

She would run into the room from the corridor, and then, at the request of the third child's father, walk to the third child's bedside.

It's a very short scene, and the difficulty lies in how to walk this path so that the audience can feel Jingqiu's mood.

Ready to hit the board.

At this time, Liu Yifei felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart, a feeling she had just experienced half an hour ago.

It was also an experience she had never had in her 21 years of life.

She felt that what she experienced was different from what was written in books and what was shown in movies and TV.

She has acted in so many TV dramas, played lovers with so many boys, and even pretended to be in love with them.

If you count them, there are also Chen Kun from The Story of a Noble Family, Lin Zhiying from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Hu Ge from The Chinese Paladin, and Jun Matsumoto and Shun Oguri from Boys Over Flowers in Japan...

It was the same when I was acting opposite him at the beginning of filming The Return of the Condor Heroes.

At that time, she thought she pretended well and acted well.

But she didn't know until now.

She was like an emperor in new clothes, who lost herself in the compliments of others.
Little did she know that perhaps everyone was laughing at her in their hearts.

How can love be such a superficial thing, and how can it so easily float on the surface?

Liu Yifei followed Lao San's comrade and started running in the hospital corridor, going to the ward where Lao San was, as the comrade said, waiting to see her for the last time.

She was panting, and even though she hadn't seen anyone yet, tears were already falling.

How could I not cry?

From the moment entering the hospital, who coming to see their loved one for the last time would run with a grin and a dazed look on his face like Zhou Dongyu?

The film camera followed Liu Yifei all the way, filming from front to back, recording each teardrop that kept sliding down her cheeks clearly on the high-quality videotape.

Although the camera was very close to her, Liu Yifei felt that she was not acting at all. Or perhaps, this was the real acting that she had never experienced before.

As long as she briefly recalled the image of Chen Nuo lying on the sickbed, tears would naturally fall from the corners of her eyes without any need for pretense.

Running while crying was as natural to her as breathing.

When they arrived at the door of the ward, the comrade-in-arms of the third brother who brought her there pushed the door open.

There were many people gathered inside the door. When they heard the noise, they all turned around and looked at the young girl at the door with tears streaming down her face, who was extremely moving.

Chen Nuo was next to Zhang Yimou, watching the monitor with him, because these shots did not require his actual presence.

When he saw Liu Yifei's appearance in the camera, even though he had never seen the original version of The Hawthorn Tree, he was 100% sure that Liu Yifei in this camera was definitely much better than Zhou Dongyu.

Otherwise, even if this movie, or this person, was buried at that time, in the future traffic era, it will definitely be dug out and spread by tens of thousands of people on TikTok, Weibo, and Toutiao.

Liu Yifei was wearing a white shirt, a maroon jacket, and blue pants.

She had two pigtails and her face was like a camellia, a simple and innocent beauty.

In the camera, tears accumulated in her eyes, just a little at first.

She bit her lower lip hard, trying to suppress the emotions that were about to overflow, not wanting to lose her composure in front of so many people.

However, her eyes told the audience that the pain in her heart was like a flood that broke through the dam and was difficult to stop.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and finally, a teardrop quietly slid down.

It trickled down the curve of her face, slid across her cheek, landed on her chin, lingered briefly, and then dripped to the ground.

With this beginning, tears began to flow uncontrollably, one drop after another, like pearls that had broken off the string.

Her breathing became rapid and her shoulders shook slightly, which was the sound of her trying to suppress her crying.

Her hands were clenched tightly together, her knuckles turning white from the effort.

Mr. Lu Shuming, who played the third child's father, was speaking his lines. After confirming Liu Yifei's identity, he sadly asked the other party to see his son for the last time.

However, no one really cares about the way he speaks.

Because everyone's eyes are only fixed on the face of the girl who is silent and crying silently.

Her expression of sorrow was like that of a widowed heron, and her helpless eyes were as flustered as those of a frightened bird.

No one knew how to soothe her anxious and frightened heart.

In the end, I could only let her walk through the crowd and towards the bed step by step.

Okay, maybe everyone wanted to continue watching this scene, but the intercom still mercilessly issued a "cut" sound.

Director Zhang Yimou, who has seen countless big-name actors perform, only nodded slightly even in previous crying scenes. However, this time, after calling the sound card, he sincerely praised: "It's great, it's great."

Director Zhang said so, so of course Chen Nuo would also praise the actresses of his own company without hesitation in order to deepen the impression.

There is no other director in China who can match Zhang Yimou's artistic life.

Whether you love him or hate him, even more than ten years later, you have to admit that Zhang Yimou's position in the Chinese film industry is irreplaceable.

If Liu Yifei could really work with him a few more times like Gong Li, her value would definitely double.

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Director Zhang, to be honest, when I was filming The Return of the Condor Heroes with her, I could tell that she is really... Let me think about how to describe her. Well, I should say that she has great potential."

"She not only has potential, but she is also very ambitious. At that time, she was ridiculed and called a vase. She also told me, 'Don't look down on a poor girl. Things may change over time.' These words really speak volumes. That's why I signed her to my company later."

"Including this month, to be honest, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, Director Zhang, it's not me who teaches her, but she who teaches me. I have benefited a lot from her. I really learn a lot from her every day."

"Just look at that tear just now. Director Zhang, have you ever seen someone shed just one tear and have it look so beautiful? I haven't seen it anyway. Haha."

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "I think that should be a coincidence, right?"

Chen Nuo said firmly: "Director Zhang, that's really not the case. She taught me. I'll show you later."

So, Zhang Yimou sat next to the monitor and actually saw Chen Nuo's performance.

This is a close-up.

His face was on the screen.

Chen Nuo was slowly stopping breathing.

His eyes closed naturally, and his whole face looked pale and skinny under the makeup applied by the black makeup artist he brought with him.

There are two camera positions, one for Chen Nuo and one for Liu Yifei.

This is the last scene of "Under the Hawthorn Tree". Under Jingqiu's gaze, the third brother finally died.

Zhang Yimou’s handling of the shots is different from the original version.

When the male lead was Dou Xiao, he took a side shot at a 45-degree angle.

But this time, when the male lead was filming Chen Nuo, Zhang Yimou chose to shoot from top to bottom.

That is, when Chen Nuo was lying flat on the bed, he chose to let Chen Nuo's face fill the big screen of the cinema, spreading out completely.

This angle is an absolute death angle.

For those who can withstand close-up at this angle, it can be said that there are basically no blind spots when taking photos.

The reason why Zhang Yimou adopted this method was the same as the reason why Jiang Wen asked Peng Yuyan to take off his shirt and expose his upper body when filming "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" ten years later.

"Don't hide such a beautiful thing, show it to others openly."

At this death angle, Chen Nuo really looked like a dying man, with his eyes tightly closed.

Although Dou Xiao played him like a zombie and it was unbearable to watch, there was an indescribable beauty on Chen Nuo's face, which not only made Liu Yifei cry sadly, but also made Zhang Yimou smile like a thief who had stolen a chicken.

He really wanted to say something at this moment.
A pay of 1500 million is really not expensive.

Even because of this pay, he can hardly afford to use a film camera.

But, just based on this shot, every audience in the cinema will feel that the ticket is worth it.

Especially when a tear suddenly appeared at the corner of this person's right eye and then rolled down quickly.

That's so beautiful.
