Chapter 524 Showing Love
"Emma, ​​why can't you listen to me?" Ning Cheng shouted loudly, looking at Emma in the front room, he couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

Emma over there is sitting on the sofa with a wine bottle and a vest and pajama pants.Listening to Ning Cheng's words, she shrugged with "I disagree".

It has been more than a month since the shooting of "Rage Rescue", and the crew is still staying in the indoor shooting part of Mexico. During this period of time, the work is basically carried out in various indoor environments, and the "restaurant", "bar" ", "living room" and other indoor scenes, these scenes are all emotional scenes in slow motion, or conversation plots, the most important thing is the emotions and acting skills of the actors.

Director Ning Sheng successfully completed the warm-up, and tried the filming part of Emma, ​​the most challenging part of acting.However, the shooting work of this part was not 100% smooth. When the design meets reality, the shots in the mind become the performances in front of the eyes. Had many arguments with Emma.

It's not that Emma's acting is a big problem. Every actor who can join this crew can play his role, especially Emma is the one who is most familiar with the script and knows her role the most besides Ning Sheng. , and her acting skills have really improved a lot over the years, and this movie is not going to hit the Oscars, so there are not many problems in acting.

It is because of some problems in shaping the character of the heroine Winnie, what kind of emotions she feels in what scene, and the two have some disagreements. There is actually no right or wrong in this, just a different understanding of the role.For example, like now, this scene is about Winnie recalling the past three years of suffering in prison alone at night, and the shocking news of being betrayed by her boyfriend after she came out. She felt extremely painful, which made her restless and sleepless.

"Director, trust me! I can fully understand Winnie's pain now." Emma stood up as she spoke, pointing to herself and said calmly: "Because I have experienced inexplicable irritability and being unable to sleep all night, In a trance, etc.—" She was talking about the period after she was pregnant, and Ning Cheng knew it very well.

"That's where the problem lies." Ning Cheng frowned, said to everyone, "take a break first," then walked over and pulled Emma aside, saying, "Emma, ​​you often mess with yourself and Winnie." Mixed up. Some parts of the emotion are shared." That's why he chose this movie for Emma.Emma's character is actually a love-hate kind-hearted person, and she is very sensitive to feelings.

As he spoke, he pointed to the wine bottle in Emma's hand, shook his head and said, "But you are not exactly the same, your irritability is due to changes in your body, your child, and the completely inexplicable menstrual period Reaction, this is a phased reaction that many pregnant women have. But Winnie is not. The reason why Winnie is irritable and unable to fall asleep is because I put all my emotions into it at the beginning, even because of my three years in prison. In her heart, she became the most sacred and pure emotional sustenance that kept him hopeful. Therefore, when this emotional sustenance was suddenly young, Winnie's feelings at this time were broken, unnecessary, and like a walking dead. , is completely different from your feelings when you were pregnant, understand?"

Emma interrupted him with curled lips, and said, "The reason why I was irritable when I was pregnant was also because of the chaos of the whole life order, which made everything in me a mess. I also felt very broken at the time."

Ning Cheng sighed, thought for a while, and continued to explain: "I think the difference between the two is that the things that collapse are different. You collapsed because of the sudden chaos of daily life, while Winnie collapsed because of the only emotional sustenance. Disappearing, losing direction and hope for the future, these two kinds of breakdowns are completely different, your life breakdown will not make you cry, it will just make you angry and throw a tantrum at me, but you are safe in your heart because you know I still have family with you, you just vent your emotions, but Winnie is desperate, a collapse from the inside, like the soul is gone, only a shell is left, that kind of emptiness and confusion The feeling of irritability is the feeling that makes people go crazy and makes people want to die, do you understand?"

Emma seemed to be chewing gum and moved her mouth, "Let me think about it—"

Ning Cheng stood aside, waiting for Emma to sort things out by herself. It stands to reason that Emma had read the script a long time ago, and had discussed with Ning Cheng countless times about the understanding of the characters. During the specific performance of a scene, there was still such a disagreement. I don't know whether to say that Emma is too serious about this scene, or that Ning Sheng didn't explain it clearly to others.

Ning Cheng sighed helplessly in his heart, patted Emma on the shoulder, and said his request again, "Let Winnie be less angry, although she is very angry and angry about her ex-boyfriend, but now Wen Ni Ni is more about the reluctance and pain of her unforgettable feelings, as well as the despair and confusion about the future——you have to make her look pitiful and crazy! She is struggling, and her reason wants to regain Cheer up, but feelings make her extremely vulnerable, she is not a lovelorn who can only cry with a blank face, she is also a wounded beast trying to get back to normal and find a new and beautiful future."

"Well—" Emma also frowned, thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "Xiao Sheng, I didn't say she didn't struggle in her heart, but her first reaction was definitely not!When you put all your hopes and affections on your ex-boyfriend, thinking that the whole world will abandon you, he will not, and thinking that you are willing to do it for him for three years, and the other party will definitely love her so much, but in fact, he has long been Betrayed you! "

She sighed for a long time, tried to put into Winnie's vision, experienced the time of being abandoned and said: "Winnie recalled the past again, she shouldn't be as angry or crazy as when she was just released from prison, she should have She gave up on her ex-boyfriend, instead of being entangled in a sad love. Now she should have no reaction at all. She is depressed and desperate, and she just thinks, uh, this is a very serious blow. She is just very sad. Just a little confused."

Ning Cheng looked at her in silence, thinking about how to solve it.Disagreement between the director and the leading actor is a normal thing on the set. However, no actor had disputes with him before, whether it was filming the two parts of "Swordsman" in China, or filming "Face Changing" and "Taken" abroad, even "Hurricane" During the "Rescue", when I worked with a big guy like Fa Ge, it was easy to discuss and resolve the occasional disagreement, and basically it was based on the opinion of the director Ning Sheng, but now I am facing Emma who is laughing and joking. Tough and not easily persuaded.Especially because of their husband-wife relationship, although Emma treated Ning Sheng as a director on the surface and gave him face, she really didn't fear him at all.

Ning Cheng thought about it for a while, then he had an idea in his mind, and said with a smile, "My dear, what's there to argue about, let's shoot both proposals." Emma chuckled and said, "I see through you." " expression, and said: "I guess when editing, you will definitely use the one you want, right?" Ning Cheng rolled his eyes noncommittally, Emma skillfully rolled her eyes back, spread her hands and said: "Darling Director Ning, it's not that I don't want to act as you said, it's that I can't act! I can't get into the play with that plan, how do you want me to act?"

"Emma, ​​are you going to act?" Ning Cheng took a deep breath, and an inexplicable anger burst out.

Emma also became serious immediately, and said: "No, I won't act what I don't agree with." Ning Cheng looked at her with a frown and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything more severe. Can't help laughing.

Ning Cheng raised his head and took a deep breath, constantly calming himself down, and then saw the other staff around him avoiding his sight, suddenly he came to his senses, it seemed that he had been "too involved in the drama" recently, and his temper had become a lot stronger.Well, thinking of this, the inexplicable anger disappeared immediately, and he gradually calmed down, thinking to himself: "Am I a bit selfish, what Emma said also has her reason, Winnie is a Westerner, and her own thoughts seem to be a little bit different." Substitute the idea of ​​an oriental woman—"

He thought for a while, and then said to Emma, ​​"Well, let's shoot two strips. When editing, we decide which one to use based on the overall plot feeling. Don't worry, even if you give up the other one, you can put it in." In the back DVD tidbits, anyway, it is to highlight the helplessness and bad state of the main character, and make the little girl in the back more important, so the two kinds of emotional expressions are actually fine, let’s try what you said first, how about it?” Emma Blinking his eyes, he secretly made a victory gesture to Ning Cheng in his heart, but smiled on his face and said, "Yes, let's try it!"

Ning Cheng smiled, waved for the makeup artist to touch up Emma's makeup, then walked back to the camera crew, saying, "Everyone take your place——"

Soon, the performances of the two emotions were filmed once, and a satisfied "CUT! Passed, next shot!" sounded on the set.

When the clear blue sky in Mexico was replaced by the beauty of dusk, the crew also ended their day's work, but Ning Sheng's work was not over yet. After returning to the hotel and having dinner, he began to inspect today's shooting results. Bad shots, it took so long to make up for it in later shots.

Afterwards, he discussed with Wang Qiang, Emma and others about tomorrow's scene, and it was already late and tired when he returned to the room.As for Emma, ​​it's another room. Although they are husband and wife, in order not to let people gossip, well, Emma is actually in order to devote all her energy to her work, and also to allow director Ning Sheng to devote herself to her work. So I slept in separate rooms.

After taking a hot bath, Ning Cheng came to the desk in his nightgown, turned on the computer and typed to update a short diary, and uploaded a working photo of the studio. The type revealed is just a group photo with the crew.

Today's Internet is more and more developed. Weibo not only allows everyone to post their own dynamics to each other at any time, but also provides a better and more convenient way for artists to publicize and share with friends, fans, media, and strangers. Information - this feature makes it the most popular channel for collecting news in the current entertainment industry. Many reporters and fans are always paying attention to the Weibo of their favorite idols in order to find news and know the idol's dynamics at any time.

And although "Rage Rescue" was filmed abroad, there is very little news in China, but Ning Sheng's Weibo fans have already exceeded [-] million. Any news will be seen by fans and media people all over the world. He uploads it from time to time. Publishing some photos of the crew is the cheapest and most labor-saving way to promote the movie and maintain attention.

From the beginning to the end, this movie is a movie that focuses on the Western market, but Ning Sheng never thought of giving up the Chinese market. Instead, he wanted to take this opportunity to push Emma to the Asian film market from the very beginning. .

Emma and Ning Sheng are well-known by global fans and media because of their marriage, but as film fans, Asian audiences are actually not very familiar with Emma.

Because Emma's works are almost all in North America, except for a super-killer character who is somewhat famous in Asia, the popularity of playing Xiao Zhao in Ning Sheng's TV series has long been exhausted.

Therefore, if Emma wants to become a movie star with global influence, it is obvious that she cannot give up on the Asian market. This time, Ning Sheng used this husband and wife file to team up The action movie created by Emma officially pushes Emma, ​​the former Hollywood starlet, to fans all over the world, and tells all those fans who once liked Emma or disliked Emma whether Emma Roberts is the little girl she used to be. She is already a big star who can support a commercial blockbuster by herself, good actress!
Therefore, this time, Ning Sheng used Weibo to continuously promote "Rage Rescue", which is rare, just to let everyone not forget and prepare for the future release of the movie.

After updating Weibo, Ning Cheng looked through the fans' comments below.

Under the photo updated yesterday, there are already millions of likes and tens of thousands of comments.But most of them are blessings and envy for Ning Sheng and Emma's loving couple, and of course some funny complaints are indispensable.Because yesterday's photo was a photo of Ning Sheng and Emma sitting together feeding each other box lunches.

"I don't want to know what kind of movie this is. I just want to know that Emma and Ning Sheng are on the set every day. Have the staff around them vomited?"

"In such a beautiful love atmosphere, are there any idiots who complain about women?"

"Come and see, little princess Xinxin, your daddy left you on a date!"

"Isn't Mexico quite chaotic? Director Ning is showing affection like this, isn't he afraid of being black-handed?"

"Ning Cheng should make another romance movie. With you and Emma as the leading roles, it will definitely sell well at the box office!"

"Does Emma have an intimate scene in this movie? What does Director Ning think about this?"
