Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 154 The Grieving Director

In Chiwan, Shenzhen, in the building of a glass factory.

The workers of the mermaid crew are pushing the mobile scaffolding, and they are transforming this factory building into a shelter for the mermaids in the movie.

The director Xingye also stood in front of the monitor all the time, his eyes fixed on the picture presented by the camera.

The entire crew is making final preparations for the start of filming.

Unlike Hengdian, Zhejiang, Shenzhen does not currently have a listed film and television shooting base. If the mermaid crew wants to shoot here, they have to arrange the filming environment in advance.

This is also one of the reasons why Master Xing gave Lin Yuan three days to prepare.

In three days, after the layout of several scenes is completed, the filming can basically start officially.

At the same time, Lin Yuan also arrived at Shenzhen Airport by plane at noon.

After calling to ask where Master Xing was, he took a taxi directly to Chigang.

Wearing a mask and peaked cap, no passerby recognized him along the way.

It wasn't until Lin Yuan took off his mask when he was stopped outside the set that he entered the set smoothly.

Looking at the surrounding environment that was almost completed, he suddenly thought that there seemed to be a scene of being kidnapped by a mermaid in his script to be filmed here.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a few more glances, and then among the busy crew, he saw Zhou Xingchi standing in front of the monitor wearing a fishing hat.

"Hello, Star."

When he was about to walk behind Master Xing, Lin Yuan took the initiative to say hello.

Master Xing nodded, his attention was still on the monitor screen, he seemed to regard Lin Yuan as an ordinary crew member, and it took a while to realize that the voice sounded familiar.

Turning his head to look, he realized that Lin Yuan had stood next to him at some point.

Master Xing was obviously surprised by Lin Yuan's sudden arrival: "Lin Yuan? Why did you come here early!"

When Lin Yuan called to inquire about his location at first, he didn't think too much about it, so he told Lin Yuan directly.

Now it seems that Lin Yuan may have arrived in Shenzhen when he made the call.

Lin Yuan couldn't explain Master Xing's question for a while.

After all, there are some private matters in Shanghai, so I had to find a reason and said: "I don't have anything to do there right now, so I wanted to come here early and ask Master Xing about the script by the way."

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, a smile appeared on Master Xing's serious face.

When he was an actor in the past, one of his favorite things was to think about the script. At that time, he often proposed his own ideas to the screenwriters and directors, but at the beginning, few directors were willing to adopt his ideas. Until After he became famous, the situation gradually improved.

Now that he has transformed into a director, he has not been able to correct this habit. When he is free, he will polish the script by himself, and even because of his original experience, he sometimes likes to discuss with the leading actor.

It can be said that for Master Xing, even if the script has already been finalized, as long as there is a flash of inspiration in the middle, he will find a way to add it to the script.

Therefore, in this situation, when he heard Lin Yuan take the initiative to talk about the script with him, he immediately became interested. If it were other actors, Master Xing would not be like this, but Lin Yuan is different. When we met for the first time last time , the other party just read the script, and he has his own understanding of the role of "Liu Xuan". In this case, he also wants to talk to the other party about the script.

"Xiao Chen, keep an eye on the set for me, and make sure the shooting scene looks like an abandoned shipwreck."

After instructing his assistant Chen Bingqiang to keep an eye on the setup of the framing stage, Master Xing directly dragged Lin Yuan to the side, took two stools for the crew to rest and sat down.

After finishing all this, Master Xing looked at Lin Yuan with great interest: "Tell me, what good idea do you have this time?"

Regarding the script, Lin Yuan didn't mention it casually, he was well prepared.

Before filming, he read the script at home every day. Sometimes he would add a good idea when he thought of it, or add something when he saw something wrong, with the purpose of perfecting the script.

And there are two reasons why he did this. First, as the leading actor, he also hopes that the movie will become popular.

Second, he had inquired about Master Xing's preferences a long time ago, knowing that the other party especially likes to chat with people about scripts.
With this in mind, Lin Yuan spoke.

"There is a point of thought. As for whether it is good or not, I still have to make suggestions from Master Xing."

After being polite, Lin Yuan also took out the script from his bag, pointed to the scene where the sonar effect was tested on the script and said, "Master Xing, I think we can add a little more drama here."

In the script, this scene is to create the villain images of Liu Xuan and Li Ruolan.

In order to make money from reclamation, Liu Xuan put the sonar device into Qingluo Bay to drive away the surrounding dolphins. An image of an image of money regardless of the ecological environment was directly created through this scene.

On the other hand, Li Ruolan should be a femme fatale and a cold-blooded beauty in the script, a villain who is "too bad to turn back", but in this scene, she behaves more like a fringe character. Apart from mocking Liu Xuan in the end to promote the plot, it seems Not a terrific performance at all.

A qualified movie script is perfected through continuous polishing, and no editor dares to say that he does not need to modify the script after it is written, unless the movie script is originally for making money.

This is why Master Xing is willing to discuss the script of the movie with the leading actor, because he wants to constantly improve the script in this kind of communication and collision.

Master Xing listened to Lin Yuan's opinion, and immediately fell into thinking.

After about a minute, Master Xing seemed to have thought of an idea, and his frowning brows suddenly eased: "How about adding such a plot, I am Li Ruolan now, and the sonar effect has just shown, I It was cruel, and I couldn’t bear to look at it, so I asked someone to take a photo for me.”

While explaining to Lin Yuan, Master Xing substituted into the role of "Li Ruolan", and acted exaggeratedly according to the plot he said.

"how?"

"not bad!"

Lin Yuan watched Master Xing's performance, not only shocked but also envious in his eyes.

It's really worthy of God's rewarding food. He picked up countless [script understanding] attributes on the set, and barely reached the actor level. It's no problem for him to find out the shortcomings in the script.

But if he was allowed to think of a solution in such a short time, it would be a bit embarrassing for him.

As a result, Master Xing took less than a minute, and immediately thought of adding a small plot to the movie to solve the problem of Li Ruolan's character image not being clear enough.

Just when Lin Yuan was shocked by Master Xing's talent.

Master Xing also smacked his lips, and looked at Lin Yuan approvingly: "Not bad, Lin Yuan, do you think there are any places in the script that need to be changed?"

Perhaps in the eyes of others, isn't Lin Yuan's behavior just a pick?
What kind of image does a supporting actress need to create, as long as the audience knows that she is a villain, that's enough. Picking faults in these irrelevant places is simply a trivial matter.

But for a director like Master Xing, if he wants to make his characters vivid, he has to take care of these details.

Lin Yuan was not polite either, and immediately turned the script to the back.

"Also here, I feel that Li Ruolan's emotions in this scene are not strong enough."

Seeing that Lin Yuan picked another question about Li Ruolan's role, Master Xing suddenly looked at Lin Yuan meaningfully: "I said, why did you suddenly come to talk to me about the script in advance? It turned out that you had already made up your mind in advance."

After being guessed, Lin Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, without denying it.

In the movie, there are two villains, one is Liu Xuan played by him, and the other is this Li Ruolan.

It's just that at the end of the movie, under the influence of Mermaid Shanshan, the villain image of Liu Xuan he played began to be washed out.

In this case, if he wants to plump up his character image, he has to make another villain more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Only in this way, the audience will feel that Liu Xuan's whitewashing is justified of.

That's why Lin Yuan deliberately thought about the role of Li Ruolan.

To put it bluntly, I just want to use the role of Li Ruolan to set off Liu Xuan's change process.

Not only did Master Xing not object to Lin Yuan's small calculation, but he also supported it in his heart.

Because according to his plot design, the role of Liu Xuan is just a "bad guy" wearing a mask. Strictly speaking, Lin Yuan's thinking coincides with his.

It's just that Lin Yuan considered it from his own point of view, while he viewed it from the point of view of the whole movie.

Master Xing smiled, and threw the question to Lin Yuan again: "Then how do you think this place should be designed?"

"I think it should show that Li Ruolan can't love her, so she wants to get revenge on Liu Xuan and Shanshan."

After Lin Yuan said what was in his heart, Master Xing still had some concerns in his heart: "It is true, but the effect of this shooting is not clear, why don't we try one?"

"That's fine."

"I'll play Liu Xuan, you can play Li Ruolan, I'd like to see how you show that you can't get enough of love."

With that said, the two stood up from their seats.

Only then did I realize that many crew members had already focused their attention on the two of them.

But also understandable.

One is the popular first-line star Lin Yuan, and the other is the star master who has been praised as "the best actor in ten years, and Zhou Xingchi in a hundred years". The two of them are here to chat about the script, and the others naturally want to join in the fun.

Being surrounded by so many people, Master Xing didn't feel embarrassed. He glanced at the script in his hand and quickly entered the state of filming.

It was the second time to act with Master Xing, but this time Lin Yuan was more familiar with the road and calmed down a lot.

"Money, make money, do you want money?"

Fortunately, Lin Yuan had thought about the role of Li Ruolan before, so it wasn't too difficult to play it.

After saying this line angrily, the crew members around all turned their attention to Master Xing.

Although Master Xing has not acted in front of the camera for a long time.

But on the set, sometimes the shooting didn't achieve the desired effect, Master Xing would still perform it for the actors himself, or even teach the actors how to act, in order to achieve the effect he wanted.

And this time it was Lin Yuan who played the role, the crew couldn't help but look forward to what kind of state Master Xing would perform in.

It's a pity that Master Xing didn't show his own strength, but just played the role of Liu Xuan in a satisfactory manner.

"I want money, but you have to have a bottom line, you can't hide your conscience."

"Conscience, hahahaha."

"It's up to you to protect the earth and maintain world peace, Brother Conscience."

In order to fit into the female role of Li Ruolan, Lin Yuan squeezed his throat deliberately when laughing.

Regarding Lin Yuan's professional acting, the crew present really wanted to say that it was unnecessary.

The acting is pretty good.

It's just that it hurts the ears when schoolgirls hold their throats and laugh.

Master Xing was not disturbed at all, and he still spoke his lines steadily: "I tried that sonar"

When he said this, the smile on Lin Yuan's face stopped abruptly, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Sonar?"

"You are for that woman!"

"I have money and a figure, and there are many people chasing me. I use the money to play with you. You treat me like air, and you actually go to soak a fish!"

Although Lin Yuan didn't imitate the girl's angry appearance, but the momentum and that feeling were really expressed.

Even the line added later directly caught Master Xing's eyes.

Adding lines is not uncommon in filmmaking.

Because when writing the script, there is no guarantee that it will be substituted into the character. I can only write what the character should say in that scene based on my feeling.

However, if the actor is deeply involved in the role, what he said naturally at that time will be far more real than the lines in the script.

Lin Yuan is obviously completely substituting into the role now.

In order not to affect Lin Yuan's current state, Master Xing also continued to guide Lin Yuan's emotions: "I really"

Before Master Xing finished his lines.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap sounded.

"I'll catch her back now and make fish head soup!"

After Lin Yuan finished speaking this line angrily, he quickly rubbed his hot right cheek.

Following that emotion just now, he has already thought about how to shoot the next scene.

He slapped the other party directly, and then left gracefully after saying a harsh word.

This happens to be in line with the character image of Li Ruolan, a domineering rich woman.

In the end, just when he was about to slap him, he realized that it was Master Xing who was acting with him.

But his emotions were all in place, and the slap didn't come down, he really didn't know what harsh words to say next.

Master Xing must not fan.

There was no other way, this slap could only fall on his own face.

"Lin Yuan, are you okay?" Master Xing hurried forward to check Lin Yuan's condition.

When Lin Yuan raised his hand just now, he had already thought of the slap on his face.

It's not like he hasn't encountered such a thing before.

When filming "Kung Fu" before, he always felt that the scene where Yuan Qiu, who played the charter woman, slapped him with slippers was not enough, so he repeated the filming several times, and finally Yuan Qiu couldn't hold back his emotions. The slippers slapped on his face, but it was the most realistic touch that achieved the effect he wanted.

It's just that Master Xing didn't expect that Lin Yuan's slap fell on his own face.

If I want to switch to another actor, I will stop slapping the slap at worst, and say what comes to mind for the next line.

Fortunately for Lin Yuan, he slapped himself directly in order to put his emotions in place.

There are not many actors who are so serious.

Thinking of this, Master Xing couldn't help but take another look at Lin Yuan.

"It's okay Xingye, what do you think of this change?" Lin Yuan didn't care about the slap, but asked Xingye whether the emotional design was reasonable.

Master Xing nodded, took a pen directly from the field manager, and began to revise the script.

After revising the script, Master Xing also continued to discuss with Lin Yuan.

It's just that Lin Yuan didn't know much about the roles of other characters, and couldn't find any problems for a while, so he had to hastily end the discussion of the script.

After the scenery in the glass factory was completed, Lin Yuan followed the crew to the hotel where he was staying.

In the next two days, other actors of the crew also arrived in Shenzhen one after another.

When Master Xing is free at night, he will still come over to discuss the plot with Lin Yuan.

After all the actors arrived and the entire crew had a meal under the hotel that night, the filming of "The Mermaid" officially started.

Lin Yuan originally thought that filming in the movie directed by Master Xing would be much easier this time, but he soon realized how wrong his thinking was.

Take the heroine Lin Yun as an example. It was her first filming, and she took more than a dozen scenes just for the first scene in the "museum".

Master Xing can be said to be teaching Lin Yun how to act hand in hand. He will show Lin Yun what he wants Lin Yun to act first.

But even in this situation, Lin Yun still made slow progress.

After a day of filming, only one scene was filmed in total, which made Lin Yuan feel emotional.

After today's filming ended, he also realized that he seemed to be the one with the best acting skills among the actors in this movie. Thinking of this, he felt even more uncomfortable.

It can be said that the plan to pick up attributes in the "Mermaid" crew has completely failed.

After dragging his tired body back to the hotel, before he could lie down, there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw that the one standing at the door was not Master Xing who came to him to discuss the plot, but the little pig Luo Zhixiang.

The two of them have known each other since filming Extreme Challenge.

The two of them were also sitting together at dinner yesterday, but there was no Luo Zhixiang play today, and Lin Yuan didn't see him in the theater either.

"Little pig, what's the matter?" Lin Yuan said wearily.

He was tired not because of filming, but because of waiting for a day in the crew.

Seeing Lin Yuan's listlessness, Luo Zhixiang patted Lin Yuan's shoulder and said excitedly, "Have you lost your energy so early? The nightlife has just begun. I found several good places here today. Do you want to go play?"

Lin Yuan waved his hand: "I still have a show tomorrow morning, so let's just go out and play."

"Don't worry, it's eight o'clock now, let's play until three o'clock, and have an hour of free activities, and then come back and sleep for four hours, and it won't be too late to go to the set." Luo Zhixiang put a hand on Lin Yuan's shoulder Bewitched.

He has already calculated his time, even if there is a play tomorrow, there is definitely enough time, but it is a bit boring for him to have fun alone.

And once he is photographed by the paparazzi, he will not be able to explain it alone.

"Let's shoot the movie first, and it's never too late to relax when there's nothing else to do later."

Lin Yuan did not agree to it. According to Lin Yun's current shooting state, the next scene will not be sure for ten or twenty times, and he has the most scenes with her opponent. If Lin Yun does not find the state as soon as possible, the next filming process will be difficult. , that would really be a crime.

"Okay, I have an appointment today, so I'll leave first, and I'll come to you to gain some experience later when I'm filming." Luo Zhixiang glanced at the time, said something to Lin Yuan, and then left up.

After the two said goodbye, Lin Yuan chose to sleep, and Xiaozhu chose to play.

The night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Lin Yuan also came to the crew early, but the progress of the next filming was still as slow as the first day.

Six days passed in a flash, and they only filmed the No.11 scene.

Based on this progress, whether or not the movie can be finished in three months is still a problem. Lin Yuan didn't expect to delay the filming of "Looking for the Dragon".

So in the scenes shot by Lin Yuan, he has always maintained the state of going through it all by himself.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, you come here, and then stop when you reach the crossroad. Then the camera will give you a close-up, just pay attention to your expression." The camera assistant briefly told Lin Yuan the position of the camera Finally, he returned to the camera with great confidence.

The person the crew most want to see now is Lin Yuan.

As long as Lin Yuan appears in the crew, it means that at least one scene of Lin Yuan can pass smoothly today.

Shooting one scene a day is a guarantee, if you can shoot two scenes, or even three scenes, it will be a high profile.

"Crack, No. 12 is over!"

With the sound of the scene, the staff of the crew breathed a sigh of relief and continued to get busy.

If the scene props are arranged faster, perhaps one or two scenes can be rushed out today.

Lin Yuan did not leave after filming, but sat next to Master Xing.

After these days of filming, Master Xing was very relieved of Lin Yuan's acting skills. The only thing that gave him a headache was that Lin Yun who had no filming experience.

However, Master Xing did not lose his temper as rumored outside. Instead, he called people over every time Lin Yun was NG, and asked Lin Yuan to demonstrate to Lin Yun in front of Lin Yun.

In this way, Lin Yuan became a coolie captured by Master Xing.

But Lin Yuan didn't get nothing.

After he demonstrated it to Lin Yun, if Lin Yun still made the same mistakes in the next acting, Master Xing would perform in person.

In the process, Lin Yuan also picked up a golden light ball from Master Xing.

[Special attribute - character atmosphere +10]

This is the first time Lin Yuan picked up this special attribute.

But it's not difficult to understand, only such top actors will have their own sense of character atmosphere.

Wang Baoqiang, Xingye, Sun Honglei and so on.

The characters performed by Master Xing have very strong performance traces in it. Everyone knows that the characters presented by Master Xing are acting out, but they don’t feel uncomfortable at all, because the audience knows that the characters performed by Master Xing are real. , only expressed in an exaggerated form.

With the attributes of the character's atmosphere, Lin Yuan realized why some actors have their own style.

Reaping this unexpected joy, Lin Yuan also smiled happily.

With the passage of time, under the guidance of the two actors Lin Yuan and Master Xing, Lin Yun's acting skills finally took a crucial step.

Compared with when they first took pictures, the opponent has made great progress, but compared with Lin Yuan, there is still a world of difference.

17 days after Lin Yuan came to the No. [-] mermaid crew, the film "Scorching Sun" also came to the end of its release.

As soon as he woke up in the morning, Lin Yuan saw a red envelope issued by the scorching sun crew. The moment he saw the red envelope, he realized that the box office of the scorching sun movie might have made a big breakthrough.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to send out such a big red envelope.

I recalled the time two days ago, when the box office of the movie just exceeded [-] million.

Compared with "Charlotte Annoyance", the box office of [-] million is not even half of others.

But in domestic suspense films, this box office has reached an insurmountable height.

We must know that the last suspense film "Witness of the People", which was filmed by Guo Fucheng, Sun Honglei, and Yu Nan, failed to break through [-] million box office in one month of release.

In this case, the contrast between the two is self-evident.

The reason why the box office of domestic suspense films is not very high is entirely because this type of film has always been a relatively niche subject matter.

It's just that no one could have imagined that this kind of movie with a relatively small audience would get such a high box office because of Lin Yuan, which was beyond everyone's expectation.

Besides, in the WeChat group, just as Lin Yuan thought, after opening the group chat on the mobile phone, the first thing that caught his eye was the message from Director Cao.

"Congratulations to Scorching Sun for breaking the box office record for Chinese-language crime suspense movies!!!"

Immediately afterwards, a series of red envelopes and congratulatory words from other leading actors.

After receiving the red envelope and sending a word of congratulations, Lin Yuan was ready to get up and take a shower.

Before he got up from the bed, Director Cao called.

He also saw Lin Yuan receiving a red envelope, so he called to congratulate him. He knew very well that the box office breaking the box office record of Chinese-language crime suspense films was inseparable from the performance of several leading actors.

As far as the script is concerned, the script of "National Witness" is not bad, and the cast is even much more luxurious than them.

But why can their box office be so much ahead of other movies?
The reason is simple. The performances of Lin Yuan, Duan Yihong, and Guo Tuo really brought the characters to life.

Until now, "Scorching Sun" has scored as high as 8.5 points on a certain valve.

Of course, the most important reason is because of Lin Yuan, without his box office appeal, this movie would not have such a high box office.

Knowing this, Director Cao has already made up his mind after feeling Lin Yuan's box office appeal. If there is a chance to cooperate in the future, he must first consider Lin Yuan, so he deliberately called. Just to get closer to the relationship between the two.

Lin Yuan also knew the meaning of the other party's call, so he hung up the phone after chatting briefly, but just after hanging up, the phone rang again.

This time it was Sister Xia who called. After answering the phone, I found out that the company wanted to take advantage of the popularity of "Scorching Sun" breaking the box office record of Chinese-language crime suspense films and help him do a wave of publicity.

For such a good thing, Lin Yuan naturally agreed directly.

After agreeing, the two of them didn't talk much.

After hanging up the phone again, Lin Yuan got up and rushed to the set.

It's just that while he was going to the crew.

Director Er, who was far away in Hong Kong, happened to see a hot search on Weibo about "Scorching Sun" breaking the box office record of Chinese suspense.

Seeing the hot search moment, he suddenly thought about it.

He now has a movie "The Sword of the Three Young Masters", which he became famous in 1977, and now he is planning to remake a wave, and then hit the box office of the movie.

The preparations started, but the male number one has not been able to find a suitable candidate.

After seeing Lin Yuan's "Scorching Sun" broke the record of Chinese-language crime suspense films, he suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He and Lin Yuan also had an intersection. They had collaborated in the filming of "Passerby" before, but after the filming of this movie, they gradually lost contact.

However, he still has Lin Yuan's mobile phone number. After asking his assistant to send a red envelope to the other party last time, he asked his assistant to leave the other party's contact information, but he didn't expect it to be useful now.

Thinking of this, Director Er didn't hesitate, and directly dialed Lin Yuan's phone number.

Lin Yuan was rushing to the set. When he saw the word "Er Dao" on the caller ID, he also became curious, but subconsciously connected the call.

"Lin Yuan, long time no see. Congratulations on the box office hit of the movie you starred in."

As soon as the phone was connected, Director Er warmly congratulated him.

Although he is now the chairman of the board of directors of the Hong Kong Film Awards Association, and he can be regarded as Lin Yuan's senior in terms of seniority, but after all, he wants Lin Yuan to appear in his movie, so naturally he is much more enthusiastic.

Lin Yuan also thanked politely: "You are being polite, what can you do?"

As for Director Er's call, he immediately guessed what was going on.

He didn't believe that a person who hadn't contacted him for almost a whole year would come over to congratulate him for no reason.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Director Er went straight to the point and told Lin Yuan that he was going to shoot "The Sword of the Third Young Master".

After hearing the name of the movie, Lin Yuan immediately lost interest.

The market for martial arts movies has already disappeared, not to mention this kind of nonsense behavior. He is not stupid now. It can be said that making this kind of movie is not good for him.

But no matter how I worked with Director Er before, Lin Yuan refused very tactfully: "Director Er, I'm really sorry, I still have a movie waiting to start shooting, and I really can't get away."

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Erdao's spirit naturally understood it all at once.

It's just that when I heard Lin Yuan tactfully refused, I still felt somewhat regretful.

If I had known that Lin Yuan had achieved what he is today, I should have contacted Lin Yuan after filming "Passerby".

If Lin Yuan participated in the role, the name of Lin Yuan alone could help the film attract a lot of investment, and Lin Yuan's current box office appeal is also terrifying to the naked eye.

As for the schedule mentioned by Lin Yuan, it was completely due to lack of friendship.

If the friendship is good, he doesn't believe that Lin Yuan can't spare time, it's really not possible, he will wait for a while, and then make this movie when Lin Yuan has a schedule.

But people have already said so, and I can't lick my face and ask Lin Yuan to star in this movie.

It can only be said that some people missed the time to send charcoal in the snow, and adding icing on the cake later will have no effect.

With a long sigh, Er Dao's eyes also changed a few times, but most of the expressions were uncomfortable and regretful.

　Ma De, the title was typed too fast, it was Lin Yuan who slapped himself, I think the time is almost past 12 o'clock, so I typed it too fast!
