Chapter 11

Not only does the head have to be shaved, but it has to be shaved twice.

In Huaxuan's play, there is a little memory scene, which needs to look younger, so it can be longer.

After he graduates from the police academy, he will have to be shaved to size.

The director didn't dare to neglect his orders, and he had to use his hands to take advantage of the lunch time.

Bai Xiaoyi was a little distressed. He felt that Xi Wen's hair was very distinctive. It was soft and a little curly. It just covered his neck. No matter how it was turned upside down, it looked great. Now that it was cut, he wondered if it would affect his photogenic appearance.

It didn't matter to Xi Wen, in order to catch up with the afternoon show and get a good seat to watch, he shaved his head while holding his lunch box.

The young lady wet his hair, made a gesture, and then clipped it.

Tomorrow's memory scene, Xi Wen played tenderly, so the hair cut now is very student-like, with thin bangs covering the eyebrows, the sideburns are trimmed cleanly, the top of the hair is fluffy, and it looks a little childish when I look up.

After he finished cutting, Bai Xiaoyi looked around for a long time, grinned very satisfied, and praised, "Brother Xi's bone statue can be controlled no matter what, I think it will not be a problem to shave an inch tomorrow."

Sister Yu was also very satisfied, and applied some essential oils on him, "What skin care products did you use? My face is tender and watery. I'm almost thirty, and I still look like a teenager."

Xi Wen stroked the freshly trimmed sideburns, and looked at himself in the mirror, feeling awkward like an old cucumber with green paint.

All of a sudden, it seems to be back to the time when I first went to college, impulsive and reckless.At that time, some roommates asked him if he knew how to play the guitar, just to save the day. Without saying a word, he picked up the guitar and followed them, without even asking him what song to sing.Fortunately, the underground band performed, with 30 tickets per ticket. The scene was chaotic and noisy, and no one noticed that he played all the wrong bars.In the middle of the performance, someone sang hi, jumped down from a two-meter-high platform, and suffered a broken heel fracture. The audience applauded wildly and said, "It's really like it." The flashes kept flashing, and the performance was forced to stop .

At that time, he was fascinated by this free and crazy atmosphere. Most performances were improvised. Everyone had strong emotions waiting to be released. Everyday life was full of drama, which was completely different from the world he knew before. different.

After the show, he joined the band without even thinking about it.

He used to do things impulsively and casually without considering the consequences, and he did whatever he wanted.After going around for more than ten years, it seems that I haven't gotten there any better, and I'm still just as reckless and brainless.

He just sat there reading the script, thinking that he would be under the camera tomorrow, he couldn't help sweating from nervousness.He has shot two MVs at most before, and has never acted in a serious way.Obviously, I have already memorized the words once, but when I just practiced with my eyes closed, I still stumbled and couldn't speak completely.

It's easy to say, but simple to listen to. When it's your turn, it's completely different from what you imagined.

Director Wei is also very demanding. I heard that the two filmings in the morning took more than a dozen times, and Director Wei was not satisfied.I barely made it through one scene, and I have to shoot another one in the afternoon.

He was smart this time. After eating, he squeezed behind the director's monitor ahead of time and catted, so he wouldn't be unable to see anything.

Shen Qingye, Ruan Feng and his group had already arrived ahead of time, surrounded by makeup artists who were touching up their makeup.

Among the group of people, Shen Qingye was the most eye-catching, Xi Wen squatted there holding his thermos cup and looked up, it was rare to meet Shen Qingye's gaze.Shen Qingye seemed surprised when he saw his new look, Xi Wen stroked his hair, mouthed to him a little embarrassedly, and asked him if he looked good.

Shen Qingye pursed his lips, and before he could turn back, he was instructed by the makeup artist to turn his head sideways.

After a while, the director also came.

Seeing him squatting beside him, Wei Chengge suddenly said, "Have you cut your hair? Do you have any objections?"

Xi Wen was taken aback, then shook his head violently, "What does it matter?"

Wei Chengge grinned, and pointed to the small folding stool next to him, "Come on, sit here and have a look together, it will be your turn tomorrow."

After speaking, he pulled the big microphone and called the actors to prepare, and then "Action!", the scene was played, and the play began.

This scene is the beginning of the movie. Hua Yang received the news that one of his younger brothers died. The body was found in the back alley of the bar. The leg bones were broken, and the fatal injury was a knife that cut his throat.He came to check, then hurried away before the police arrived.

A very simple scene, not many lines, mainly the creation of the atmosphere and the metaphor of the picture.

Sewage flows in the dark alley, next to two large trash cans.Half of the corpse's face was soaked in the sewage, the face was swollen, the greasy black hair was wet and stuck to the face, and the flies were buzzing around.They are like bedbugs in the gutter, hiding in hiding while alive, and hiding in death when they are dead.

Hua Yang stepped on the stagnant water, his vision was dim, and the high walls on both sides blocked the sunlight.

The scene was silent, only the buzzing of flies and approaching footsteps, and the polished leather shoes stopped in front of the corpse.

Hua Yang's younger brother came forward and said that the dead man owed 30 usury to Sanggou, and he was called to collect the debt two days ago, and threatened to break his leg if he didn't come out within three days.

Another younger brother said indignantly, "What debt collection? Knowing that it was my brother who did it so ruthlessly, it was clearly a demonstration to the boss."

"Fuck, I didn't know that I thought we were afraid of him."

The voices of echo grew louder, and the crowd looked at the corpse of the unjustly killed brother, as if they could see their own fate. Fear and anger spread among people, and complaints and calls for revenge were everywhere.

Chixiao's asset structure consists of three industries, one is a serious white business, mainly urban construction and real estate, including the operation of bars and entertainment clubs, which is in the hands of Hua Yang; the other is the original underworld forces, including underground casinos, usury And smuggling, in the hands of Lin Hui, nicknamed Sanggou; another one is mainly responsible for money laundering, opened a financial company, managed by Gao Yang, nicknamed Doctor, returned from the United States, always well-dressed.

These three people have been fighting among themselves since the death of the original leader, Long Hai, and no one will accept the other. The situation is increasingly stalemate, and the conflict between Hua Yang and Sanggou is the most intense.

Hua Yang looked at the corpse with deep eyes, raised his hand, and stopped the noise of the people behind him, and everyone fell silent.

From far away, sirens whistled, from far to near.

You Ling, who had been standing behind Hua Yang, took a step forward and leaned into his ear, "Nearby residents called the police. The police are here. We have to leave first."

Hua Yang nodded, "Give them a sum of money and take good care of his family."

You Ling agreed.

Another person led the way for Hua Yang and left through the back door of the bar.

Before everyone left, You Ling took a step back and turned to look at the corpse.

The camera zooms in, freezes on the close-up of You Ling's face, alternates with the tragic death of the corpse, and then zooms out to shoot the back view of You Ling leaving with the crowd.

This is the last scene, NG many times.

"No, Ruan Feng, your feeling is still wrong. If you think about it, you killed someone. As a policeman, it's the first time you killed someone to protect yourself. You can't be so indifferent. You don't feel touched at all, but you are afraid of being killed by Hua. Yang doubts, you have to restrain yourself. In the end, when you stare at the dead body, you know that no one is paying attention to you, and your emotions must be shown in order to lay the groundwork for the audience."

"The last look, you want to reflect the struggle and sorrow in You Ling's heart. He was forced to become a murderer, and he killed people to hide his identity as an undercover agent. His sin is quite different. It is not only the dead man that he mourns, but his own downfall."

The director narrated the play to Ruan Feng, and after the narration, he took another shot alone.

Then everyone gathers to watch the playback on the monitor.

In this scene, Hua Yang has always been the protagonist of the camera.

Xi Wen found it strange, when the camera was aimed at Shen Qingye, he seemed to be another person.In an instant, he was reborn, his eyes and demeanor changed, he became Hua Yang, who grew up in the bloodbath since childhood, climbed up from the bottom step by step, his hands were bloody, cruel and suspicious, never Trust anyone, with cold eyes and gloomy personality, like a lone wolf.

In the small box on the monitor, Hua Yang looked down at the corpse on the ground, his chin was still raised slightly proudly, he looked at the half of the face of the deceased who was soaked white and swollen, and then slowly moved towards the corpse. There was a momentary flicker in the eyes of the broken legs, and then quickly covered it up quietly.

This scene, as the opening scene, is actually very meaningful. Only when you understand the whole plot, and then go back to watch this scene, can you experience the undercurrent.

For example, Hua Yang knew that the deceased would not be killed by a mourning dog, because the deceased had begged him the night before, and he had paid off all the debts for the deceased, but he still died, and his legs were broken. The harsh words he uttered were exactly the same.When he looked at the corpse, he was suspicious. He knew that someone was framing the dead dog, but he didn't know who it was. He only knew that it must be a terrible opponent.

So Director Wei said that Shen Qingye performed very well here, reflecting Hua Yang's suspicion and anxiety.

Another example is You Ling. It is not until the end of the film that it is revealed how much You Ling sacrificed in order to complete this mission. This sacrifice is not only a physical injury, but also a collapse of You Ling's moral concepts.

As the deceased accidentally discovered his connection to the police, he was forced to kill a man he called a brother.This is the first time he killed someone purely for his own benefit. His hands were stained with the blood of innocent people. Evil has crushed good. Although wandering has always been a symbol of justice in the film, he actually committed a crime from the very beginning. .You Ling is a collection of contradictions, representing the blurred boundaries between black and white, which cannot be judged by pure good or evil.

Xi Wen felt that Ruan Feng had acted very well, if it was him, he would definitely not be able to have this effect.The indifference pretended when looking at the corpse in the early stage, and then the sadness that can't be hidden but restrained later.

But Director Wei still seems to feel that this kind of emotion is not expressed enough with a sense of hierarchy.He needs something with depth and texture.

It's too abstract, Xi Wen thought, this really depends on inner comprehension and needs to be polished repeatedly.

After reading it several times, Director Wei finally waved his hand, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, packed up their equipment and moved their positions.

Xi Wen also went out, and in the temporary shed, Bai Xiaoyi was very kind, and ordered afternoon tea for the whole crew during the break in the name of Xi Wen.The whole group huddled together to get coffee and small cakes, and when they saw Xi Wen coming, they greeted Xi Wen kindly and thanked him.

"How did you feel on the first day?" Bai Xiaoyi handed Xi Wen a cup of coffee.

Xi Wen held it in his hand and took a sip, a warm current slowly poured into his stomach, he exhaled comfortably, and uttered a word heavily, "Difficult."

Bai Xiaoyi smiled, "I see that you are already sitting next to the director, shouldn't you have a special feeling?"

Xi Wen rubbed his eyes, "I don't feel anything else, it's just that the monitor screen is too small, it makes my eyes dazzled."

"Is acting fun?"

Xi Wen touched the paper cup and said thoughtfully, "Watching other people's acting is very contagious. Everyone is very serious and focused, which makes you want to work hard to do this well. If you don't do well, you will I'm sorry for those who have paid." He paused, and then added, "The main reason is that the psychological pressure is high, and it is necessary to be thick-skinned to pretend to be aggressive in front of so many people."

Bai Xiaoyi giggled, "Brother, why are you so funny, are you talking about Brother Qingye's pretense?"

Xi Wen took another sip of coffee, "I never said that, you said it."

Two actors beside him were asking, "Hey, have you seen Shen Qingye? I want to take this opportunity to ask him to sign an autograph. My sister really likes him."

"Maybe he still hasn't come out in the alley?"

Bai Xiaoyi rolled his eyes, took coffee and a small cake and stuffed them to Xi Wen, "Hurry up, send some food to Brother Qing Ye, and we will chat with each other naturally, this is a good opportunity to get closer."

Xi Wen walked back with coffee and cakes in his arms, and there were only two staff members in the alley sorting out the equipment.

He walked over and found that Shen Qingye was chatting with the actor who played the dead body before.The actor had special effects makeup on his face, lying on the ground for so long, soaked in the sewage, it was not easy, Shen Qingye handed him a pack of tissue to wipe it off, the two laughed from time to time, it seemed that they were chatting speculatively.
