Chapter 251
Chapter 251
At the beginning of October, the moon gradually showed the outline of the disk, and the bright light sprinkled on the calm dark blue sea. The luxurious giant ship on the sea was beautiful under the moonlight.
However, the tranquility was only an illusion, and then the cruise ship heard gunshots from soldiers, shouts of men, screams of women, cries of children, all kinds of sounds intertwined, creating chaos.
If there are other ships passing nearby, seeing this scene may raise the alarm and send an SOS signal, but this cruise ship is not on any navigation line.
However, in fact, this is not a cruise ship that encountered terrorists, but a movie set. The so-called gunshots are just the sound created by props. There is a set of professional cameras on the deck of the cruise ship. Behind the camera, he yelled at several actors in front of the camera.
With a loudspeaker in his hand, Robert Johnson shouted to the two big white men who were fighting with Bai Liang on the deck: "You two should look a little bit more painful, with a bit of reconciliation in the pain, will you grit your teeth? Oh shit! Another one!" "
Then Robert said to Bai Liang who was cutting the hands of the two big white men backwards: "Liang, you don't have to be polite to them, you can use a little more force when twisting their wrists, otherwise they won't experience the effect I want."
Bai Liang let go of the hands that were twisting the wrists of one person, moved the wrists that were overstretched, and said to Robert with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry, director, I didn't meet your requirements and wasted everyone's time."
Robert waved his hand boldly: "It's okay, it has nothing to do with you, you have performed very well, I know you deliberately released the water because you were afraid of hurting them, but you see, they are as strong as cows, even if you try harder, They won't hurt a single hair."
The two white actors exaggerated after hearing the words: "Oh no, my dear Mr. Johnson, you don't even know how strong Liang is. Don't look at his small size. If we really fight, we will probably suffer a lot."
Bai Liang quickly explained: "It's not that I have great strength, but that the martial arts I learned pay attention to skills. In fighting, I often use softness to overcome rigidity, and grasp the opponent's weakness to defeat the enemy with one move."
Robert looked at Bai Liang appreciatively, and sighed: "This is probably the essence of kung fu. Okay, you guys take a break and start over soon. We need to work harder this time. We can go back tonight after filming tonight." Eat a feast made of fresh ingredients on the shore."
The ending of the movie happened on a cruise ship. In order to restore the scene, the crew rented a luxury cruise ship and filmed at sea for three days and three nights.
The crew has attracted many investors and sponsors, so there is no shortage of expenses for chartering the boat. Even if it is always NG, it is enough to shoot on the boat for ten days and half a month. The problem that limits the shooting time is diet.
Although the cruise ship is only a few nautical miles away from the pier, it is not a problem to use a small boat to deliver fresh ingredients to the cruise ship every day, and there are several large refrigerators in the kitchen of the cruise ship. Each refrigerator is filled with vegetables and meat, which is enough to maintain the crew for two days. food.
Although this will not make the crew hungry and thirsty, the quality of drinking water and food is still not up to standard. Americans pursue enjoyment. Even if they eat burgers, the tomatoes and lettuce inside must be fresh, preferably fresh from the farm. shipped out.
At dinner tonight, director Robert Johnson faced the dry steak and complained while eating: "This beef is not fresh and tender, it tastes old and dry, and the teeth are hard to chew. It's really embarrassing for me, an old man."
Charlie De stirred the salad in his bowl with a fork, and said in a regretful tone: "The refrigerated vegetables and fruits have lost their original texture and taste, and I even suspect that the vitamins in them have been lost."
And Bai Liang held a beef hamburger in one hand and a glass of juice in the other, eating and drinking in big mouthfuls, not minding the fresh taste at all.After staying in the United States for more than two months, he has changed from not eating raw vegetables and having to eat rice once a day to eating hamburgers three times a day and eating a big bowl of salad calmly.After eating too much, he actually felt that the bread was very delicious, and all kinds of fried food gave him the illusion of happiness like eating McDonald's every day.
I don't know if it's because he is too good at making fun of hardships, but after he reacts, he realizes that habit is really a terrible thing.
He will still miss the sumptuous meals at home, but just thinking about it won't help. Only by finishing the movie well can he go home earlier.
Bai Liang finished a hamburger in two or three bites, stood up on the table full of energy, and quickly said to Robert and Charlie at the same table that I'm full, I'm going to study tonight's play first, see you tonight.
Looking at Bai Liang's figure bouncing away, Robert sighed enviously: "Ah, it's nice to be young, to be able to maintain the best state at all times, youthful and energetic."
Charlie answered with a smile: "Among so many of us, the child who should be the most picky eater has never been picky about food."
The people next to him also echoed: "Yeah, we've been filming on the boat for the past few days. Those of us who are elderly can't stand the loneliness, but Liang seems to be full of energy at all times. Just looking at him makes me feel so tired." I feel a few years younger, haha."
Bai Liang's nimble figure flashed on the cruise ship, vigorous and elegant like a young leopard, with a serious expression and ease, like a confident hunter who could accurately locate his prey even in the darkness of night.
Several tall and burly white actors chased after him panting, while Bai Liang calmly and quietly walked along the fence of the cruise ship, bypassing obstacles from time to time, and easily climbed to a higher place along the rope ladder , to avoid being tracked by others.
His movements were so smooth that the cameraman's camera could barely keep up with him. The director couldn't bear to stop, so he yelled at the camera crew from the outside: "Hurry up, hurry up, keep up with his rhythm, split the shot, split the shot first!" Keep up, get ready for the next close-up scene!"
One shot to the end can be encountered in many cases but cannot be sought. It is a difficult test for actors, directors and cameramen. In many cases, due to subjective and objective conditions that do not allow, the director has to give up the idea of one shot to the end and change it to Post-editing, but the edited pictures will inevitably have flaws, which will more or less affect the senses of the audience and judges.And the few films in the history of film that have one shot to the end have become classic legends. It is obvious that Robert also wants to draw such a strong stroke in his director career.
Bai Liang had already climbed the decorative rope ladder to the fifth floor of the cruise ship. He held a prop gun in his hand, and walked vigilantly towards the corner against the wall.
Afterwards, Charlie De appeared behind him in a panic, and Bai Liang, who heard the movement, quickly turned his head and aimed his gun at Charlie De.
The effect of this scene was astonishing, just when the light from the lighthouse in the distance swept over Bai Liang's face, it made Bai Liang's deserted face like moonlight even paler, like a water ghost climbing up from the deep sea to seek his life, without any emotion and temperature.Bai Liang's eyes are even more like an ice cave, as if looking at an inanimate object, which is completely different from his gentle and well-behaved image in reality and before the movie.
Charlie De was also frightened by Bai Liang's eyes, and suddenly froze for a moment, not knowing what to do next, but fortunately, the scene ended here, and Robert called a cut from below.
Hearing the cut, Bai Liang relaxed, his originally cold expression softened for a moment, and he changed back to the little boy who was laughing and joking all day long.
Charlie patted his chest and said to him: "Liang, you almost scared me to death just now, I thought you were really going to shoot me."
Bai Liang scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Because I was too involved in the drama, I was also a little scared. Your sudden appearance made me realize the highest level of survival awareness, so I couldn't control it."
Charlie patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, you acted very well just now, I was shocked, you are really a good actor, Liang."
Seeing that the two leading actors were still standing on a high place, Robert waved to them and asked, "Charlie, Liang, are you two okay? Do you want to come down and take a rest?"
Charlie shrugged and said it was all right: "I didn't do much acting just now, I just climbed up the ladder on the other side to show a scene. It was Liang who had a harder time. I think you need to go down and drink a glass of milk to calm your shock."
Bai Liang licked his lips that were dried out by the sea breeze, thinking that he could hold on for a while, so he asked the director to continue.
Seeing that he insisted on finishing the filming, Robert asked the crew to prepare the props and start shooting the next scene.
In the next scene, at the end of the corridor on the fifth floor, Charlie approached step by step, questioning why his most trusted partner in the past colluded with criminal organizations to kill important politicians, Bai Liang's gun was still aimed at Charlie, and he backed away expressionlessly , retreated until there was no way to retreat, and then stopped against the fence and confronted Charlie.
The sea breeze messed up Bai Liang's smooth black hair, one of his eyes was covered by bangs, standing at the most dangerous corner of the high place, like a one-eyed lone wolf driven to a desperate situation, fierce and desperate.
"Why? At the beginning, my father, for the sake of justice, left me and my mother desperately, came to your country, and joined your organization. He wanted to maintain world peace with all his blood, but because he accidentally broke the organization's high-level and evil forces In a siege operation, he was mistaken as an undercover agent and died, and his body sank into the sea! My mother and I have been waiting for his glorious return, but only his relics came! I have been searching for the truth, and I have spent five years Time, careful preparation, step by step into the organization, gain your trust, just for this day!"
Charlie stopped his words and retorted loudly: "This is not the reason why you killed so many people! Even if they did something wrong and they are guilty, they should be handed over to the law for punishment, not for you to sentence. You are so careless about human life. How is it different from them! Is this the justice you are after! This is not justice! This is selfishness!"
Bai Liang sneered: "Justice? What is justice? Is it justice to wear the skin of a good person and do bad things? I never wanted to be a righteous person. The justice I once respected has been murdered by you! Now I, I just want to avenge my father!"
Robert looked at the paranoid and ruthless Bai Liang in the camera, touched his chin and nodded non-stop. The actor Bai Liang really has a talent for acting. Whether it is an action scene or a drama, he can make people's eyes shine. Believe him It will definitely bring the most brilliant stroke to your director career.
After the next few fighting scenes were filmed, the most exciting scene in the film came. It was also Bai Liang's finale scene. After filming this scene, Bai Liang could leave the group.
Robert has been waiting for this moment for more than two months. He should be excited and excited, but when it really comes, he only feels very calm.
Bai Liang was observing the shooting scene with the assistant director for a while. The assistant director stood on the deck near the fence and loudly instructed the staff in the sea to take protective measures. Bai Liang also leaned out most of his body and looked down. One side of the sea where the bright light shines, the rest is pitch black.
Seeing him staring at the sea in a daze, the assistant director thought he was afraid of going into the water, so he comforted him and said, "It's okay Liang, there are ten divers in the sea to pick you up, and the boat is just two meters away from where you fell into the sea. Weiya, our clothing will also give you an extra life jacket inside later."
Hearing the long-winded words of the assistant director, Bai Liang couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm just curious, don't worry."
Robert came over and heard the conversation between the two of them, and said to Bai Liang appreciatively: "Very well, our art industry needs talents like you, Liang, we believe in you!"
The main scene tonight was filmed on the deck. The character played by Charlie De wanted to bring Bai Liang to justice, while the character played by Bai Liang didn't want to be judged by the so-called justice. The two had a fight on the deck, which attracted the companions of the organization.Bai Liang saw that he had nowhere to escape, and Charlie was holding on to him. If this continued, he might be arrested and imprisoned by these so-called righteous people.He frowned fiercely, took out a spare pocket gun from his sleeve, aimed it silently at the bottom of Charlie's heart, and pulled the wrench without hesitation.
Charlie looked at him with a face full of shock, and let go of Bai Liang's hand because of the pain. Bai Liang pushed his body away with difficulty, facing the group of people who pointed their guns at him, and turned over gracefully like a mermaid Jump over the fence and jump into the sea.
Hearing a plop, Charlie ran over frantically and shouted the name of Bai Liang's character into the invisible sea, but the only response to him was the sound of sea water beating the hull.
The moment Bai Liang fell into the water, he remembered the night when he met Shen Heng. Although he was also afraid at that time, but because he had no worries, his mind was blank when he fell into the water, and he actually didn't think of anything.He was afraid of water for a while, but Shen Heng accompanied him and patiently corrected his fear, so he had the courage to take this movie and act in this thrilling scene himself.
The divers and lifeguards in the sea quickly pulled Bai Liang out of the sea, put him on the small boat leaning on the cruise ship, wiped his face and hair with all his might, and asked him if he felt any discomfort.After returning to the cruise ship, several medical staff who had been waiting for him surrounded him and checked him from head to toe.
Su Lisha, who came with her, didn't dare to watch the scene of Bai Liang jumping into the sea at all. She was afraid that she might have a heart attack, but the boss asked her to take a picture and show it to him. It's reassuring to see that nothing went wrong.
Bai Liang was wrapped in a bath towel, and the medical staff took his temperature and pulse. Su Lisha gave him warm water mixed with glucose, and kept asking him if he felt any discomfort.
Bai Liang didn't feel any discomfort at first, but a group of people surrounded him, it was noisy and stuffy, and he almost felt dizzy.
The director came over to condolence Bai Liang after filming the remaining part of Charlie's monologue. Seeing that Bai Liang was holding a milk cup and drinking milk as if nothing had happened, he couldn't worry immediately, and gave Bai Liang a thumbs up and said in admiration: "Niuuuuuuuuu !"
Robert didn't know who he learned from this authentic "cow" sound, and almost made Bai Liang spray milk. Robert smiled and patted him on the back, and said: "You are really the bravest little boy I have ever seen, Liang, you are too Great, you are the pride of our crew! Congratulations on your successful completion!"
Everyone in the crew applauded Bai Liang.
