Chapter 53 Some Questions I Want to Ask You
Gu Zhongyu immediately found a pair of plain glasses and put them on. Sure enough, Meng Lang's original temperament has been somewhat controlled, and he looks gentle, and he finally has the temperament of an intellectual.

"Okay, Mr. Gu is ready, the camera team and the lighting team re-arrange the machine, re-adjust the light ratio, the neighbor slowly walks into the camera, let's start!"

An aunt who played the role of the protagonist's neighbor walked up to Gu Zhongyu and asked in surprise, "So it's Chen Guang! I saw that the light was on, so I knew you were back. Is the university on vacation?"

"Not yet, I just came back to take a look. By the way, aunt, the environment here seems to be much cleaner than when I left. Did you clean it for me?"

"You child, I don't have the key to your house, can I still sneak in and sweep the floor for you?" The aunt replied with a strange face, but she couldn't help but glanced at the back room from the corner of her eyes, only to find that the floor and table seemed to be quite clean.

Gu Zhongyu didn't say anything more, after sending the neighbors away, he checked all the windows, and they were all closed tightly, without any signs of damage.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Zhongyu began to organize the things at home. The first thing to clean up were those watercolor paintings of his father. When he was sorting out the last painting on the bookshelf, he suddenly discovered the strangeness of this painting!

This is a landscape painting, which is the scenery seen at the door of his house. As a third-rate amateur painter, his father was very lazy when he was alive. He seldom went out to sketch.

Like many similar paintings in the box, there was nothing special about it, but Chen Guang noticed something in the painting, which was a water tower, an ordinary water tower standing in front of the window!
However, this water tower was only built after Chen Guang was admitted to university, and his father had never seen this water tower before his death!
But now, this water tower suddenly appeared in his father's posthumous work!
Who drew this water tower?
Gu Zhongyu trembled all over, and the painting in his hand fell to the ground.I just feel that on this midsummer night, some chills seem to fill the home.

In the video of the camera, the expression on Gu Zhongyu's face was puzzled and puzzled at first, and then gradually turned into panic!Several streams of sweat flowed down the side of his face, and he began to swallow unconsciously.

……

"Yes, Gu boy has not lost his basic skills in the past two years." Chen Baoguo was very satisfied watching Gu Zhongyu's performance.

"Mr. Chen, but I think this kind of performance will be a little too much force?" Guo Fan, as a director, has a different opinion. He thinks that the expression on Gu Zhongyu's face is a bit too exaggerated, and he can be scared like this when he sees a ghost.

After all, "Ball Lightning" is just a science fiction film. Even if there are elements of suspense and horror in the original novel, it is still open to discussion whether to retain this flavor when the film is completed.

"Then you can ask Xiao Gu if you want to do it again." Chen Baoguo doesn't understand science fiction, but he understands acting. He thinks that there is nothing wrong with Gu Zhongyu's performance just now, so let him decide for himself.

During the filming process, it is always difficult for actors and directors to keep in line with each other. Many times, even if the actors themselves can perform perfectly, but the director feels that it does not fit the characters or the overall style of the scene, he will NG and ask the actors to do it all over again.

If there are too many times of this NG, conflicts will easily arise between them, especially when encountering some tempered masters.

When filming the movie "The Barber", once the male protagonist Jiang Wen had a big conflict with the director on the set because of differences in performance.What kind of temper did Jiang Wen have? He embarrassed the director directly in public, and later spoke ill of the director behind his back in front of the crew.

After this incident happened, Jiang Wen withdrew from the film crew, and the investors also chose to withdraw after seeing this. Finally, after many efforts and negotiations, Jiang Wen was replaced by Chen Kun, and the filming continued.

Although Guo Fan is the director, Gu Zhongyu has the most say in the production team. He doesn't want to have a disagreement with his boss right after the start of the film, but because of his dedication to the film business, he thinks it is necessary to remind him.

"Ka... Teacher Gu, come and take a look... Everyone else should take a break first!"

"What's the matter? Do I have any questions?" Gu Zhongyu actually planned to finish this scene in one shot. After all, it's not too long. It's more natural to do it all at once.

Then Guo Fan pointed out that Gu Zhongyu used too much force in his performance just now, and played back the clip just shot to let him see if he thinks he can pass it.

"It seems that the acting just now was a bit exaggerated!"

Gu Zhongyu watched it once, and it is indeed a bit exaggerated. If it is a distant view, it may not be obvious, but this scene will have many close-up shots of the male lead's face. If you watch it carefully, it really feels like the male lead meets Sadako in a horror movie.

"No! I think Teacher Gu's acting is pretty good." At this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Gu Zhongyu looked back, and at some point, the little girl Bai Lu stood behind him, wearing a baseball jacket and a sports cap, carrying a box of cold drinks in her hand, her eyes were fixed on the screen on the monitor in front of her.

Growing up so big, this is the first time Bai Lu has seen a filming scene. She is dazzled by all kinds of novel props and equipment. She has been looking around since she first entered the set, and she feels that everything is new.

"Why did you come here? Aren't you still receiving newcomer training at the company?"

"Hee hee! I'm Teacher Gu, your assistant! Of course I'm coming. Secretary Jiang said that my rookie period is over and I can officially start working."

After speaking, Bai Lu triumphantly showed off her work permit hanging around her neck.The words "Assistant to the President" were written on it.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Mr. Gu, you are really good at finding such a young assistant, let's use child labor!" Wang Jingjinchun looked at Bai Lu's tiny appearance, he was clearly not yet an adult!
"No! I'm over 16 years old this year, and I'm a worker legally!" Bai Lu quickly explained.

"Okay, pass out the drink in your hand to everyone, and then go to the back to stay honestly, and you are not allowed to express your opinions casually."

Seeing that Jiang Shuying had released her, Gu Zhongyu thought that during this period of time, she should be able to teach well enough to be barely qualified for the job of an assistant.

Seeing that the boss gave the order, Bai Lu immediately distributed the soda and popsicles to the crew members, and then stood obediently in the corner, looking cute and helpless.

Wang Jinchun had nothing to do after filming the cameo role, so he stood in the corner and chatted with Bai Lu, the old and the young. Seeing the two happily chatting, Gu Zhongyu remembered a TV series with a good reputation in later generations.

Aren't the two leading actors in "Police Honor" the same as Wang Jinchun and Bai Lu in front of you!
"Okay! I also think it's okay to do it again. I haven't acted for too long. I really need to slowly get back to the previous feeling. Director Guo, you discovered it in time."

So Gu Zhongyu shot it again, this time he controlled his expression and emotions, and completed the performance of the scene very well

"Okay! The second act of "Ball Lightning" has been filmed, everyone can rest, and continue working tomorrow!"

After filming this scene, when Gu Zhongyu changed his clothes and was about to go home, Ni Hongjie came over and said softly, "Mr. Gu, do you want to have a meal together? I still have some questions to ask you!"

　I highly recommend everyone to read the original work of "Ball Lightning" by Liu Cixin.
