Because of the importance of the night play, the crew specially advanced the dinner time to five o'clock. As soon as the dinner was over, everyone was trapped in a tense and busy preparation process.

Ji Li sat in the lounge, staring at the content of the script with a serious look.

On the first day of shooting, it was a remake of the character. It was false to say that he had no pressure.

The plot of this big play is very heavy——

Xiang Suian actually lives in a remarried family. In that year, Xiang's mother married her current husband with him who was only ten years old.

The stepfather is a gentle man on the outside, wearing a pair of square glasses. He always smiles when he meets people outside.

At first, Xiang's mother agreed to marry him because she liked his easygoing.

As a result, his stepfather lost his job after marriage. Frustrated in his career, he didn't want to make progress and became a thorough alcoholic.

He not only liked to drink, but also drank very fiercely. He ignored his mother's several painstaking exhortations. Once after drinking, he got out of control and beat his mother and Xiang Suian.

And this is the beginning of their bad luck.

Over the past eight years, the stepfather has intensified, and the tendency of domestic violence has become more and more serious. He resisted and struggled with his mother from the beginning, to escape and beg for mercy in the middle, and then to paralysis and despair in the end.

The neighbors know this, but as outsiders, they can persuade once or twice, but they can't persuade a hundred times or a thousand times.

On the evening of the third year of high school, Xiang Suian had just returned home when he saw a familiar and numb scene - his stepfather tied Xiang's mother with a string like a bundle of livestock, and whipped her fiercely with a belt in his hand.

In this play, it is natural to shoot the reaction of his mother and son, and the most difficult point is that Ji Li has to perform the same character on two timelines.

The first timeline is Xiang Suian, who has not experienced reincarnation.

The second timeline is Xiang Suian, who has experienced countless samsara.

It is difficult to not only conform to the character of the role, but also deduce a completely different state of mind.

There was a knock at the door.

Steamed stuffed bun came in from the outside and said carefully, "brother Ji, director Wang called you to audition."

He knew that Ji Li was alone in the lounge to brew his emotions. At the moment, he was afraid that it would affect his immersion in the silent play.

Ji Li put down the script full of notes and walked out calmly.

The play has already been put in mind. There is no need to take the script at one stroke.

In the houses along the river, the crew has arranged the scene of "domestic violence".

The actor who played Xiang's mother was song Xingshen, the queen of the hundred Image Award. This time, she came to play a special role after receiving the invitation of Qin Li.

Qin Li's idea is very clear.

Now that you have seen this project, you have to do it as an important film. Invite more guest stars from old dramas, and the later publicity will produce a gimmick.

Under the leadership of Yu Fuya, Ji Li said hello to her on the sofa, "Hello, teacher song, I'm Ji Li, the actor of sui'an."

"Ann, have you had dinner?" Song Xingshen smiled and directly shouted the title in the play.

The highlight of the old actors is here. As long as they take over the script, they will be in and out of the play.

Ji Li was surprised for a moment, and then burst into an introverted and clever smile belonging to Xiang Suian, "I've eaten it."

Song Xing smiled deeply and superficially. Obviously, he was very fond of this calm and good-looking young generation.

Qin Li looked at the interaction between the two, and the corners of his mouth raised briefly.

In fact, he invited song Xingshen for selfish reasons.

The other side is recognized as a powerful actress. Her acting works since her debut have been highly praised, especially in the middle-aged and young generation.

There was a survey that 90% of the audience said they would go to the cinema as long as song Xingshen starred in the film.

This time, Ji Li and song Xingshen play together. As long as he plays stably as before, he wants to gain a wave of affirmation along with the latter's reputation after the film is released.

Qin Li is secretly paving the way for the youth in his own way. Whether it can work depends on the latter's own play.

In order to match the plot, song Xingshen's exposed skin was painted with many bruises and red marks, and there was a long blood hole on his forehead, which was very realistic.

The stepfather is played by Wei Guofu, an old drama bone. As soon as he appeared on the set, steamed stuffed bun subconsciously shivered.

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Ji, Mr. Wei acted in an urban drama. His violent man is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." Steamed stuffed bun said in a low voice, "I think of that role as soon as I see him."

Some actors can make the audience remember for a long time just by one role.

Wei Guofu himself was actually very easy to get along with. As soon as he came in, he greeted everyone with a smile.

Wang Zhang saw that the preparations for the scene had been completed, "well, you can almost go."

The "family of three" in the play quickly enters the role state.

There is no doubt that the focus of the play is Xiang sui'an played by Ji Li.

After the research of Wang Zhang and the shooting team, they plan to adopt the shooting mode of one mirror to the end, and there is no fixed point to change seats, that is to say, the actors can't make mistakes in the whole process, otherwise they will overthrow them all and start over again.

The interpretation of the play was originally difficult, but it adopted this even more difficult shooting mode, which further tested Ji Li.

They walked several times before they confirmed the details of each seat.

Before shooting, Ji Li took the initiative to go to Wei Guofu's side and asked with some embarrassment, "Mr. Wei, wait a moment for the official shooting. You can put a little more strength on the part where you take a belt and pull me. The lens should be more realistic."

Wei Guofu was surprised to hear this and asked, "are you sure? The belt must be tightened, or it will really hurt. "

Ji Li nodded and insisted, "don't worry, I'm young and can stand it. Actors should sacrifice a little for the sake of film effect. "

Wei Guofu pushed his glasses and replied with a low smile.

When Ji Li got his reply, he nodded politely to him. Then he hurried to the door and was ready to go.

Wei Guofu stared at his back and a trace of praise flashed from the bottom of his heart——

It's rare that a young man is not afraid of hardship these days. just don't know if he can perform this energy after the official shooting in a while?

Ji Li stands in the alley, and the mobile host is right in front. He closed his eyes, threw away all the thoughts in his mind and waited silently for the sound of power on.

About thirty seconds later, the sound of beating the board sounded.

Ji Li opened her eyes and walked quietly towards home.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he heard repressed sobs in the house, men's angry scolding mixed with bursts of beating, and people's hearts jumped.

Ji Li's slightly raised lips immediately stretched into a straight line. He grabbed the backpack strap with great force, and the white marks on his knuckles were clearly visible.

——Didn't it just happen last weekend? Why did it start again?

Ji Li's chest fluctuated slightly for a moment and walked in quickly, "Mom, Uncle Li, I'm back."

The sound of pushing the door came hard, but the words at the exit were low into the dust.

Ji Li's eyes drooped slightly, and he saw the mess on the ground. The table had been overturned, and all the soup and vegetables were scattered on the ground.

The woman's hands and feet were rudely tied up with string, and there were traces of belt injuries all over her body. The most serious thing was her forehead, which was torn and bloody.

Ji Li stood quietly in place. As long as he looked closely at the camera, he could detect his quietly tight jaw lines, which were obviously repressed and endured to the extreme.

With his arrival, the cruel air in the house finally loosened.

As soon as the picture turned, the red faced stepfather threw his belt on Xiang's mother and sat down drunk on the sofa panting.

Song Xingchen plays Xiang's mother, who looks up difficultly, revealing her bloody and painful face.

She trembled and raised a smile more ugly than crying, "... ANN, mom is fine. You, you go into the house."

Lock the door, close the window and don't come out when you hear anything.

Xiang Suian heard the familiar opening speech and breathed.

"An an..." Xiang's mother's voice was very weak, implying an unspeakable hurry, "you are good and obedient."

They all know that a new round of men's violent beating will begin soon.

It's better for one person to be beaten than for two people to be injured together.

A mother who can't even protect herself is guarding her children in her most humble way.

The fog in Suian's pleading eyes to his mother flashed past, and the toes just carried out were taken back without trace.

He leaned mechanically and walked stiffly back to his room.

Close the door, lock the door, close the window.

A series of actions, as the mother hoped, were like walking corpses.

Outside, another round of beating and swearing sounded.

The whimper to her mother was intermittent and very slight. It was the sound she made when she bit the towel to death, just to prevent her neighbors from hearing anything and running to persuade her to quarrel.

Because after the neighbors' good intentions but short-term persuasion, their mother and son will face a more painful night.

Xiang Suian sat in his seat, took out his test paper without expression, and pressed the warped page with the palm of his hand.

The action of palm pressing and wiping is more and more hard until the fragile paper is suddenly torn.

——Patter.

On the neat test paper, a big tear suddenly burst out and fainted the rough printed font.

The camera slowly shakes up and stops at the red eyes.

Tears were stored in Ji Li's eyes. There was deep despair in his dark eyes. His teeth were against his fist joints, and his whole body trembled violently——

Can anyone help them?!

Can anyone see their despair?!

Neither the neighbors nor the police can save them.

They resisted and got a more painful beating. They ran away, but the man appeared like a ghost and pulled them back to hell every minute.

Until now, it seems that even death has become an extravagant hope.

In front of the camera, the young man's silent cry of pain resonated with everyone present through the screen of the monitor, making everyone ignore the surrounding environment and worry with him.

Feng Cheng and Wei Lai looked at each other and were completely shocked by the young people's acting skills.

Strong!

It's too strong!

Obviously, there is no line, but Ji Li can portray the characters' hearts incisively and vividly in her own way.

The shooting continues——

Song Xingchen and Wei Guofu play together, creating a full tension.

The cruel images of detestable men and women begging for mercy, strong and weak, have directly impacted the onlookers' moral bottom line.

If they didn't all know they were acting, I'm afraid someone would rush up and beat the scum man.

Just thinking, the door of the room crashed and was knocked open.

Ji Li's Xiang Suian rushed back to the living room. He tried his best to push the man away and shouted, "get out! Don't touch my mother! "

The stepfather fell on the ground full of soup and vegetable dregs. He was stunned for a few seconds before he got up and kicked the boy who was struggling to untie the rope.

"Shit, little rabbit! How dare you push me? "

"Your mother is a bitch, and you are also a bitch! Die for me! "

Xiang Suian's back was severely kicked by the man. The green tendons in his forehead suddenly appeared because of severe pain. He gritted his teeth and got up and quickly protected Xiang's mother with his thin body.

He looked up at his hateful stepfather, his body tight to tremble, like a cub dying to protect his precious things, "... I won't let you hit her! No! "

"Don't hit her?"

The man put the belt head round and round in the palm of his hand, folded it up, stared at the boy's line of sight, and said, "good! Then I'll kill you first! "

The image of "domestic violence scum man" created by Wei Guofu is so strong that even if it is just acting, people are afraid and hate.

The staff at the scene trembled at his behavior, and the whole heart hung on Ji Li.

The waving belt fell down again and again. It was frightening to hear.

Ji Li gritted her teeth and held on, not giving out a faint cry of pain, protecting her mother's arm and tightening it bit by bit.

may not!

Don't hurt her!

I won't let you hurt her again!

Song Xingshen felt the strong feelings from the youth, and the pain from the heart was on the tip of his nose.

He finally broke down to his mother for a long time and couldn't reach out and beg, "don't hit the child, Old Li, I beg you not to hit the child..."

"I'm wrong. I'm wrong. Please don't fight..."

"Help, ANN, who can come... Help my Ann!"

The cry for mercy drowned in the night.

Suddenly, a small inch photo fell out of the pocket of the school uniform coat.

Ji Li's eyes wandered for a moment before falling back to the ground——

It was a group photo of a family of three taken when Xiang's father was alive. When he was young, he happily nestled in his father's arms, snuggled up to his mother next to his husband, and stroked the child's tender face with one hand.

At that time, my father's arms were very warm and my mother's touch was very gentle.

He will not fear or suffer.

The camera slowly moved closer, and the tears the boy had saved for a long time finally fell. Trembling, he reached out and hooked a corner of the picture with his fingertips.

The light of the eyes faded a little, and the corners of the bleeding mouth evoked a radian——

Dad, if I die, you'll pick me up, won't you?

The boy's tight body suddenly lost its strength and completely fainted on the ground.

……

The play should be over here.

The whole set was quiet and everyone's heart was hanging together.

Song Xingchen looked at the fallen young man. In a moment of trance, he couldn't tell whether it was in or out of the play.

Her mood was still outside, and her tears could not stop breaking the bank.

"Ann?"

Song Xingshen stretched out his hand and explored the young man's breath. After confirming that the residual temperature still existed, his body collapsed.

Wang Zhang got the scene he wanted and shouted "card", which completely took the people away from the plot.

Yu Fuya couldn't help but run up at once, "Ji Li?"

At this moment, she finally knows what the mentality of being a mother is.

Clearly knew that the other party was acting, but when she saw Wei Guofu 'pumping people' with a belt, she almost couldn't help but go up and kick the man's lifeblood!

She should say that Xiang's mother is too cowardly, which will lead to this unfortunate life and suffer with Xiang Suian!

Ji Li quickly got up from the ground with the help of Yu Fuya.

"Brother Ji, drink some hot water quickly." Steamed stuffed bun came up and handed him the hot water poured in advance.

It's cold in early winter. You can't buy ice cream for brother Ji to avoid hurting your stomach.

Ji Li's costume was still a thin coat. It was freezing when he fell on the ground for so long. He quickly sipped two mouthfuls of hot water, and then looked at Song Xingshen surrounded by his assistant.

"Miss Song, did I pull too hard in the play just now? Are you all right? "

Song Xingchen, who has not yet fully appeared in the play, heard this concern, and his heart was warm and astringent. She came forward, patted Ji Li's red face and said gently, "I'm fine, but it's you..."

She looked at Wei Guofu aside and tried to dilute the heaviness in the play with a joking tone. "Did old Wei just hurt you?"

Ji Li didn't care about the little pain at all. "No, Mr. Wei tried to control it very well."

Wei Guofu patted him on the shoulder and said, "you young man, you have good toughness."

Song Xingshen smiled and nodded. He made no secret of his praise for his son. "The play is also good."

In front of the crowd, the two old opera bones boasted about Ji Li. Obviously, they all liked him, the younger generation of the new actor.

When the staff present saw this scene, they all felt it was reasonable——

Now they are all watching young people with a "role filter". Who doesn't like people with excellent acting skills and modest attitude?

Wang Zhang outside picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, "come and watch the playback again?"

All three actors were strict with the play. When they heard this, they immediately set out.

Feng Cheng, who has been watching on the set, sighed with conviction, "I'm suddenly very stressed, but I'm also very motivated. How about you?"

Wei Lai nodded with empathy. "Go back and study the script well. After a while, we can't be much worse than him."

They looked at each other and smiled.

Qin Li, who passed by, heard this, and his eyes shook in agreement.

A good crew environment should be like this.

Even if there is a competition between peers, it must be benign and upward.

Young people focus on their own part of the play and virtually become the driving force for others to move forward. This is the charm of good actors.

When Qi an found Qin, the other party stood on the Bank of the river with a burning cigarette in his hand.

The man's face was submerged in the dark night, only the ethereal smoke with a bit of lonely intelligence.

Qi an approached and asked, "how did you smoke?"

"It's from Wang Zhang. Take it to relieve your fatigue." Qin Li's fingertip movement of flicking away the ash was very good-looking. He looked at the shaking River and spoke slowly.

"Qi an, when I was filming the world, in fact, I had the idea of leaving the circle after shooting."

Qi an smiled and took out the cigarette he was carrying with him. He lit one through his friend's spark, "I know, I have worked with you for so many years and I am your nominal agent. Can't I see it?"

Qin spent ten years and became an unshakable figure in the entertainment industry.

Everyone vowed that no one could break Qin Li's record of divination, even they thought so.

But no matter how powerful a person is, he will be tired one day.

Qin Li's family background is far more powerful than others think. Even if he is not in the entertainment circle, he can make some proud achievements in other circles.

Originally, he wanted to start in another field, but now, the idea has been completely abandoned.

Qi an took a sip of smoke and asked with a smile, "if there is a Ji Li in the entertainment circle, is it quite interesting?"

Qin Li inadvertently hooked his lip, "he is the only person who can bring me into the play so far."

This situation does not only exist when two people play.

Just now, from the perspective of a bystander, Qin Li's emotions will fluctuate with the interpretation of the youth.

This feeling is very novel, and even makes him taste.

Qin Li didn't want to leave the circle.

He wanted to occupy the top of the circle and watch Keeley, a star destined to be dazzling, climb to a position side by side with him.

Qi an smiled but didn't speak. He didn't remind him until the smoke in their hands burned out.

"It's half past seven. It's time for us to catch the plane?"

"Change your sign. I want to see him finish the last play tonight."

Qi an got the expected answer and hummed, "OK."

……

The time moved to eight o'clock, but the busy set was not over. Everyone was waiting for the last play tonight——

As like as two peas, the scene of "domestic violence" is just the same.

Wang Zhang's directing style is outward. He will not ask actors to perform according to his standards, but will give them a circle of "free interpretation" and play freely according to the characteristics of the role.

In Wang Zhang's view, the core of creating roles is actors, not their directors or others.

Therefore, in the next scene, in addition to several necessary lens points and other shooting contents, he gave Ji Li the greatest freedom.

In the lounge, Ji Li and screenwriter Mu Wang are talking about something.

Ten minutes later, they walked back one after another.

Wang Zhang saw Ji Li's figure and asked directly, "Xiao Ji, are you ready?"

Ji Li nodded without saying a word and went to the initial shooting position.

It also adopts the method of one mirror to the end, but this time, the crew pays more attention to Ji Li's on-the-spot play and the cooperation of experienced photographers.

Everything is all set.

In the expectation of all the staff on the set, the last scene of tonight finally began.
