Chapter 362 Breakthrough in Acting Skills

"A Hu" is a film with very delicate emotions. The three emotional lines between A Hu and pim, the nun, and his daughter Ploy are always intertwined and intertwined in the film, making A Hu a character at the center of multiple contradictions and with multiple identities. .

This also caused Wang Xiaohu, who is not specialized in acting, to suffer a lot. When facing Zhao Yazhi or Miao Kexiu, Wang Xiaohu behaved quite naturally, because everyone is of the same age, and their identities in the film are couples.

"I am her mother's friend", this is the first self-introduction Ahu made to the nun when he learned that he had a daughter and went to look for it. At this time, Ahu had only an abstract concept of Ploy, And he is only "her mother's friend" to his identity, and has not turned to a father role.Ah Hu, who just came out of prison, is unfamiliar with this daughter, and he has not fulfilled the responsibility of a father by Ploy's side for so many years. All these make him not have the courage to reveal his identity as a father, so he can only establish a relationship through Pim and Ploy. connect.

"Like me, I'm his father." Seeing Ploy's photo, he said indifferently that he was Ploy's father. He only smiled when he learned that Ploy's father was himself on the birth certificate. At this time, Ahu's Only then did I establish a vague concept of myself as a father in my heart.

There is a scene about Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi driving in search of ploy in the complex and extravagant No. One after another, Zhao Yazhi's driving skills were not very good, and she had to talk to Wang Xiaohu about ploy while driving. When you bump into a passerby, you just forget to say your lines.

Ever since, the driving scene that appeared in "A Hu" for less than 1 minute took a whole night to get it done. These scenes are easy to talk about. Both Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi's performances are remarkable. After all, this At that time, Wang Xiaohu hadn't talked face-to-face with his "daughter" Weng Meiling. When the father and daughter met for the first time, the father played by Wang Xiaohu was very out of state, causing many NG scenes.

"This place is not suitable for you. You should be studying at your age. Why don't you go back with the nun?" Wang Xiaohu tried to make his eyes look very complicated, and said to Weng Meiling who was sitting outside the cold drink shop.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Weng Meiling's eyes: "What else? Didn't you bring me back to Hong Kong?" This was the first conversation between Ah Hu and his daughter.

Wang Xiaohu opened his mouth, he was suffocated when he heard Weng Meiling's resentful question, he even forgot his lines for a while, he didn't know how to answer, the expression on his face was so helpless, so he had to wave his hand, Yuan Heping had no choice but to Shouting "CUT!" Needless to say, there was another problem with Wang Xiaohu's performance at this time.

"Brother Xiaohu, this is the sixth time you've been NG tonight!!" Weng Meiling grumbled, pouting.

"Hey, after several years of filming, this is the first time I feel that my acting skills are very good." Wang Xiaohu put his hands on his forehead, feeling very distressed. Acting skills are very abstract, but in a sense , but not necessarily so.Some actors can use a small movement, a facial expression, or even a walking posture to interpret the scene to a classic level, and this is the so-called basic skill of an actor.For example, Fazi is very active in TVB now, isn't it because of his acting skills that he has established his status.

Don't look at Wang Xiaohu's many films, but those are martial arts kung fu movies, and martial arts kung fu movies don't have very high requirements for acting skills. As long as the movements are wonderful and reasonable, they will win the applause of the audience. However, his acting skills are extremely tested. Wang Xiaohu is an action actor and director, so he has no talent for acting, and he lacks a lot of basic acting skills.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Wang Xiaohu. Those actors who are at the top of Hong Kong movies have either acquired a lot of bad movies and accumulated rich performance experience, or graduated from the TVB artist training class, which is difficult to compare.And a lot of performance experience is a very valuable training opportunity. Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohu's heart moved slightly, and for the first time he had the idea of ​​going to TVB wireless artist training class as a student.

"Ah Hu, let's finish the red bean soup first." Seeing that her husband was out tonight, Zhao Yazhi was sitting opposite him with a bowl of red bean soup, and comforted her with a smile, "Don't be depressed anymore, in fact, what you did tonight Very good, just lacks a certain charm.”

"Shen Yun?" Wang Xiaohu drank the red bean soup in one gulp, wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth and asked, "Which one is missing?"

Zhao Yazhi chuckled lightly and said: "Well, how should I put it, this scene is the first time you and Ah Weng met, your performance just now was a bit dull, to be precise, it lacked the feeling that a father should have. Think about it, if you Seeing your daughter who has been separated for 14 years is being a girl at this time, you will definitely be very angry, but you have overlooked one thing, you have no right to accuse your daughter of what she has done now."

Wang Xiaohu silently digested these words in his mind, and finally sighed and said: "I understand the key point of the matter, because I am not a father in reality, so I can't realize that being a father, and a father like Ahu The real feeling of what it should be in this occasion, so that I played it very hollow."

"That's right." Zhao Yazhi tilted her head and praised: "You take your time to find the feeling, and it should be fine if you bring this emotion into it."

"Azhi, it's all your fault!" Wang Xiaohu suddenly said in such a thoughtless manner, Zhao Yazhi blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion, "Why are you all blaming me!"

"If you had given me a son or a daughter earlier and let me experience what it's like to be a father, I wouldn't have made a fool of myself in front of so many people today."

"Cut!" Zhao Yazhi smiled and beat him, but felt like an overturned five-flavored bottle in her heart, very uncomfortable: Maybe, maybe I should also consider giving birth to a baby for Ah Hu.

Sometimes, Wang Xiaohu has to admit that Zhao Yazhi's research on acting skills is much deeper than his own. The reason for this is actually very easy to explain, because Wang Xiaohu has many monstrous ambitions buried in his heart. To fully realize these ambitions, he must He worries about many, many things. What he cares more about is the time period when he will shoot a box office hit. He used to develop in Hong Kong, but now he has to face the world. The so-called success is greater, and he wants to surpass the pressure he faces. It's even bigger, this kind of pressure has left him no time to delve into acting skills.

Wang Xiaohu looked at Weng Meiling who was resting on a recliner not far away, and asked his wife, "Azhi, why do you think Weng can portray the role of Ploy so thoroughly?"

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yazhi said: "You may not know it yet. In fact, Ah Weng has been looking forward to the arrival of this scene after turning on the phone. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep last night. She held the script and studied it for a long time, and let me Look at the rehearsal she prepared, I also asked her this question, do you know how he answered?"

Wang Xiaohu was not a roundworm in Weng Meiling's stomach, so he naturally didn't know what she was thinking, so he shook his head and smiled wryly, "I don't know."

"Oh, you're so stupid!" Zhao Yazhi wrinkled her cute nose and said while holding her chin, "This starts with Ah Weng's life experience. After she saw the script of "A Hu", she liked it so much that she said The experience of Ploy in it is very similar to hers, they have not received the love of their father since they were young, and their impression of their father is very vague, it is a complex psychology of longing and fear.”

Following Zhao Yazhi's words, Wang Xiaohu finally realized, no wonder Ah Weng was very involved when he said these words just now, isn't that just using Ploy's mouth to say what he wanted to say to his father?
In Ploy's heart, Ahu's arrival gave her a feeling that she had never experienced before, that is, the feeling of home. Ploy, who grew up in an orphanage, is now only a 14-year-old girl, just the age that should enjoy the warmth of a family. This is so similar to Weng Meiling's life experience. She is her father's illegitimate daughter. She was forced to live a sneaky life and rarely enjoyed her father's love. It can be said that after reading the script of "A Hu", Weng Meiling joined A lot of my own understanding and knowledge of ploy, so that the role of ploy, the daughter, is more vivid and authentic.

"It's his grandma, I have to talk to Uncle Six later, if I don't graduate from his artist training class, I will never act again!" Wang Xiaohu gritted his teeth and said in his heart, the expression on his face made all the crew Everyone looked and scratched their heads.

Before filming again, Wang Xiaohu called Weng Meiling to his side, "Ah Weng, tell me what you think of my father in this scene. I need to understand your thoughts, and then I can guarantee that it will not be NG."

Weng Meiling frowned, bit her lip and thought for a long time before saying: "It's very complicated. Ahu's arrival gave Ploy hope, a sense of belonging to home. Hong Kong is synonymous with home in Ploy's heart, 'Take me The subtext of "Back to Hong Kong" is "Take me home", but at this time, Ahu still can't enter the role of a father. Ahu's attitude makes Ploy feel that he is just a passerby, and Ahu is another passerby. You can say this to yourself. Just like that, Ploy fell from the peak of joy to the bottom of the valley, his dream of owning a family was shattered, and he was completely disappointed in Ah Hu, his father."

Wang Xiaohu listened very carefully, and at the same time, he began to brew that kind of emotion in his heart. He didn't let Yuan Heping call attention until he felt that there was no problem. And helpless performance incisively and vividly.

"CUT! Okay, that's really great!" Yuan Heping stared at the camera, suddenly became a little excited, and hurried over and said, "Ahu, your performance just now was amazing, it seemed like you were suddenly enlightened, better than the NG ones before. A few more games will be natural."

After this rivalry scene with Weng Meiling, Wang Xiaohu finally found the feeling of "middle-aged Ahu". During the filming interval, he would have in-depth discussions with Weng Meiling on the complicated relationship between Ahu's father and daughter. Tiger's father role is more assured.

In the noisy bar, the lights were dim and the air was cloudy. Weng Meiling was held hostage by debt collectors. Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi arrived in time.

"You owe him money?"

"Tell him to let you go"

"Don't be afraid, just tell me."

Although Ah Hu's expression was still a little uncomfortable at this time.But the three sentences show the care and love a father should have for his daughter, especially the subtext of the sentence "don't be afraid, just say it" is don't worry, with me, your father will stand by you.

"Tell him I am your father."

Wang Xiaohu was completely immersed in the role of Ahu. The fatherly love he showed at this time was so strong and touching that Weng Meiling on the opposite side didn't speak the dialogue according to the script at this time, and tears flowed unconsciously. She is also fully involved in the play, unlike Wang Xiaohu who entered the play, at this moment, she regards Wang Xiaohu as the father with a blurred face in her childhood memory, if her father stood up like this when she was bullied back then, it would be great what!

At this time, Ah Hu really took on the responsibility of being a father and gave the Ploy family the warmth and care. "He is my father." After Ahu adapted to his father's identity, Ploy, who lacked family warmth, finally accepted this father who was "depressed and like a bereaved dog". Of course, at this moment, Ahu's image is in Ploy's There is also a change in my heart.

Yuan Heping had already yelled "CUT", but Weng Meiling still hadn't come out of the scene, she suddenly threw herself into Wang Xiaohu's arms and cried loudly, her voice was very sad, "Dad!"

Wang Xiaohu stood there with both hands, looking at Zhao Yazhi behind him, feeling a little at a loss, Zhao Yazhi smiled as if he pouted, then made a comforting expression with both hands, and then left with other people on the set.

I don't know how long it took before Weng Meiling's crying finally stopped. I don't know if the emotions that have been accumulated for many years have finally been vented, or this scene reminded her of the sad past. In short, after crying, she felt much better.

"Wipe your tears." Wang Xiaohu picked up a tissue and handed it over, "Look at you, you're crying like a tabby cat, you'll have to touch up your makeup later, your eyes are red, you're not pretty anymore."

Weng Meiling wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice was a little hoarse: "Brother Xiaohu, I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions just now."

"Do you remember your father?"

Weng Meiling nodded and shook her head again, "I just feel happy crying at this time, not simply thinking of him."

"Hey!" Wang Xiaohu sighed. He didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to wait for Weng Meiling to calm down before grabbing his costume and saying, "You're so happy, you made my clothes wet. Wait a while." How are you filming?"

Weng Meiling blushed immediately when she was provoked by this, and she said angrily, "You say you are stingy and you still don't admit it, so it's OK to ask Brother Zhang Yuan to prepare a few more costumes?" After finishing speaking, she ran away without waiting for Wang Xiaohu's answer. Yes, she feels happy in her heart now, but she is actually embarrassed and doesn't know how to face it.

It’s been another month since I finished shooting the scenes in Pattaya. During this month, everyone in the crew worked very hard. They got up early and returned home every day to be busy shooting. In addition, the weather in Thailand was very hot during this period. Miao Kexiu was finally exhausted and had to go to the local hospital for recuperation.

For this, Wang Xiaohu felt deeply guilty. After arranging a few people to take care of Sister Xiu in the hospital, he returned to the crew to continue filming. At this time, "A Hu" had only completed half of the filming work, and it was the first time that Wang Xiaohu had spent so much money. Time to shoot the film, and the increase in the shooting cycle also means a large increase in funds. In the two months since the film was launched, Wang Xiaohu has invested nearly 200 million Hong Kong dollars, creating a record of more than one million Hong Kong dollars in investment in the entire Southeast Asian film industry. (Local investment does not count co-productions with Hollywood.)
"Azhi, what's wrong with you?" On the way back to the set, Wang Xiaohu noticed that Zhao Yazhi had been biting her lip, as if she was enduring some pain, and asked anxiously, "Aren't you sick too?"

Zhao Yazhi's face was a little pale, she shook her head to Wang Xiaohu and said, "It's nothing, I'm fine."

"Driver, turn around and go back to the hospital." Wang Xiaohu didn't believe it, and asked the driver to turn around and go back to the hospital. Zhao Yazhi leaned her head in his arms and said, "Ah Hu, I'm really fine. I'll be fine in a while."

"You said you were fine, but you see that your head is covered in cold sweat!" Wang Xiaohu sighed, and said with some guilt, "I have made you suffer along with me for the past two months."

"Ah Hu, don't say that, I'm a woman's normal reaction, and I'll be fine in a few days."

"What's the normal reaction?"

"Oh, Brother Xiaohu, do you really don't understand or are you pretending not to understand!" Weng Meiling in the front row couldn't stand it when she heard this, she turned her head and said, "Women always feel uncomfortable for a few days every month. Sister Zhi may be Pain. That!"

"What is that?" Wang Xiaohu still didn't understand, and the anxious Weng Meiling gestured with her hand for a long time, and finally said angrily: "Hey! Don't talk about it, I'll forget it if you die of anxiety!"

Wang Xiaohu scratched his head vigorously and said innocently: "I really don't know, Ah Weng, tell me quickly!"

"Hehe, don't force me, Ah Weng." Seeing this, Zhao Yazhi smiled wryly and shook her head, blushed and pulled her husband to her lips and whispered a few words, and then said: "That's it, I said it's all right, You don't have to worry too much."

Wang Xiaohu finally understood why his wife was like this. Isn't that the relative that women must visit every month?He knocked his head hard and said: "That's not okay, your body is the most important thing. After two months of tension, everyone's nerves are probably stretched. I don't think our crew will be filming these days. From tomorrow At the beginning, when we spent a few days in Thailand, we treated it as a company-funded trip, so we could relax."

"Okay!" Weng Meiling clapped her hands and shouted, "I've been looking forward to this day for a long time, and I can buy new clothes again."
