Chapter 78 Nightmare

Chapter 78 Nightmare

Shang Nan inexplicably felt the harshness of fault-finding in Fu Wusheng's aura.

Well, actors of this level should be very strict, and their attitude towards work must be different from those of his kind. They should be called teachers or artists.

Fu Wusheng said very few words, and he began to enter the camera again.

His sense of camera is natural. Whether it is pure action scenes or speaking lines, there is no trace of deliberately looking for the camera. But what the camera captures must be Meng Dong who best suits the situation and has the best angle. This is an actor who has eaten well and eaten well.Fan's ability, especially in a big-name crew like Zhang Xinghuo who doesn't revolve around actors.

Even Fu Wusheng has to find the camera by himself. Zhang Xinghuo doesn't like actors. He needs everyone to revolve around the story and the camera.

Most of the scenes in the afternoon were basically Meng Dong's. When filming Meng Dong's scenes, Shang Nan and a group of photographers crowded behind the small monitor and sat together. He was not as professional as them and was just enjoying it.

Zhou Li brought water for Shonan to drink. Shonan touched his belly and said, "I'm so hungry." He only ate half a piece of bread and a few mouthfuls of porridge in the morning. He was not full at all, so Zhou Li refused to let him eat any more..

"Drink more water. Director Zhang's assistant came to me and reminded me specifically that you need to lose another ten pounds to better fit Li Yan's image." Zhou Li's heart is as hard as iron.

Shang Nan could only drink water to satisfy his hunger.

He didn't expect that in this world, he would not only have to worry about how to attack monsters, but he would also be hungry!

The intern photographer closest to Shang Nan moved the bench closer to Shang Nan, "If you lose weight, you will look better on camera. Teacher Shang Nan, don't be discouraged."

Shang Nan looked at Fu Wusheng on the monitor. At sunset, the gold-leaf-like sunset fell on Fu Wusheng's sharp profile, so superior that he seemed to be born for the camera.

Seeing the envy in Shang Nan's eyes, the intern said with relief: "Teacher Shang Nan, don't compete with Mr. Fu. How many people can beat Mr. Fu on camera, especially Mr. Fu has gotten older in recent years and started filming.It’s getting more and more stable, so Teacher Shannan would be better off setting a lower goal for yourself.”

Shang Nan: "..." As expected of the people in Zhang Xinghuo's crew, they all can't speak.

Meng Dong lived and ate at the car repair shop. The car repair shop was a large abandoned warehouse. Before, there were containers and stacks of cardboard boxes piled outside the warehouse. After Meng Dong rented it, he sold all those items to a scrapyard.Now there are abandoned cars and piles of scrap metal that are treasures in Meng Dong's eyes but trash in others' eyes.

The work is mainly in the warehouse. The warehouse area is very large, which is more than enough for work. It can even park a few large trucks.

The living area is just behind the warehouse. It is a simple house made of aluminum panels, which makes an alarming crackling sound when it rains.

Meng Dong was cooking in the kitchen. After the water in the soup pot boiled, the man threw in a handful of noodles. The rising heat mist made Fu Wusheng's face blurred behind the camera. He stirred up the noodles with chopsticks and waited.A few minutes after the noodles were cooked, he skillfully fried eggs and chopped green onions.

Zhang Xinghuo even wanted to film the scene of eating noodles, while Shang Nan watched quietly. Just by watching, he felt an unobstructed sense of loneliness from Meng Dong - the rolling boiling water, the sound of natural gas being transported from the pipeline, the gradually darkening sky, all depict the loneliness of men in a detailed and positive way.

At the same time, Shang Nan also felt that there was a huge gap in business between him and Fu Wusheng. There were several gaps in between that he could not cross.

There is no trace of performance in Fu Wusheng's acting. As soon as he enters the filming state, he becomes Meng Dong.

An actor of Fu Wusheng's level should keep his fingers clean, but when he plays Meng Dong, he washes and chops vegetables, cooks noodles and mops the floor... without any sense of violation. He does it all very naturally, as ifHe usually lives in this kind of environment.

Meng Dong's noodles were cooked. He picked the noodles into a bowl, poured a few ladles of hot noodle soup on it, sprinkled with chopped green onions, put eggs on it, and sat down on the sofa covered with whitewashed cloth while holding the noodles.

He picked up the noodles from the chopsticks and put them down again several times to make the noodles cool faster.

Just looking at the screen on the monitor, Shang Nan felt like it was burning his mouth.

Meng Dong gulped the noodles into his mouth. He was sweating profusely from eating. The only sound in the room was the sound of him eating noodles. The last dim yellow light outside the window left a spot of light on the side of Meng Dong's face, from his cheek to his chin, slowlyHe slowly moved to his sweaty neck. After finishing the noodles, the light spots disappeared and the sky became completely dark.

Zhang Xinghuo called the card.

Shang Nan watched Fu Wusheng's assistant running over to hand him towels and water. He couldn't recover for a long time. This was amazing. The time was stuck just right. The time to eat the noodles had to match the time when the light finally disappeared., and had to match the timing of this shot, but Fu Wusheng was stunned to grasp not a second more, nor a second less.

When looking at Meng Dong, even though the other person didn't have a single line, he felt the subtle loneliness, which even directly affected Shang Nan's emotions towards Fu Wusheng himself.But when the camera turned away, Fu Wusheng returned to his cold and inhumane role as a senior, making the pity that had finally emerged in Shang Nan's heart suddenly disappear without a trace.

Zhang Xinghuo and several assistant directors were looking back at the footage they had just taken, and the set manager was preparing for the next scene to be used.The next scene is about Li Yan's family of three - Li Yan's alcoholic father somehow knew that Zhang Meiyuan was going to send Li Yan away, so he beat and kicked her when he got home. Li Yan came out to protect her, and the alcoholic fatherAll of Dad's fists were transferred to Li Yan, and Li Yan was beaten half to death again.

In order to control costs, the internal structure of Li Yan's house looks like the first floor of a residential building in a community. It is completely different from the aluminum shed where Meng Dong lives. In fact, it is closely adjacent, but you can't tell from the inside.

Fu Wusheng was still sitting on his broken sofa. His assistant handed him something. Soon, Fu Wusheng lit a cigarette between his fingers and he sunk deeply into the sofa.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Shang Nan walking around the stove with his hands behind his back.

When he met Fu Wusheng's deep gaze, Shang Nan's back trembled. He cleared his throat, slowly walked to the small bench at Fu Wusheng's feet and sat down, "Didn't Teacher Fu say he quit smoking before?"

"It's time to quit." Fu Wusheng removed the cigarette and put it out directly on the concrete floor.

He opened his eyes and told lies, and Shannan, who was not familiar with him, was too embarrassed to ask questions.

"Food will be served soon." Fu Wusheng looked behind Shangnan. A group of people moved several foam boxes and placed them on the ground.

Shang Nan: "..." Fu Wusheng could see that he was hungry while walking around the stove.

Shang Nan was assigned a customized meal, and the staff carefully checked the name to make sure it was correct, because there was only one person in the entire crew who wanted to eat the customized meal for weight loss, that is Shang Nan.

After seeing the label above, Shang Nan's interest in eating dropped sharply. He opened the lid of the box and found only a small ball of whole grain rice, two okra sticks, a few pieces of boiled chicken breast and a small handful of cherry tomatoes..

Everyone else ate normal meals, but Shannan felt that if he ate like this, let alone losing ten pounds, he would lose so much weight that he would only have ten pounds left even with the box.

Zhou Li brought a small bottle of yogurt and handed it to Shannan, "I specifically asked Director Zhang to apply for it for you. I'm afraid you'll faint from hunger."

Before Shannan moved his chopsticks, Zhou Li rushed to take a photo of the weight loss meal and archive it, "Lest netizens see you lose weight and say you smoke a lot."

"……."

Shang Nan was so hungry that stars appeared in his eyes, "Can you lose weight by smoking?"

Zhou Li didn't know. He had a question mark on his face when he was asked. Fu Wusheng on the side threw the extinguished cigarette butt into the ashtray with a cold expression, "You will get lung cancer."

"I'm going to the bathroom. I can't hold it in anymore." After Zhou Li finished speaking, he hurriedly ran away holding his stomach. He actually didn't really want to stay with Teacher Fu. Teacher Fu looked too serious and unsmiling, just following the circle.The old artists here are just as fierce.

"Then why is Teacher Fu still smoking?" Shang Nan looked away from Zhou Li's back and asked Fu Wusheng.

Shannan respects Fu Wusheng deep down in his heart. He doesn't know whether he admires Fu Wusheng in person, but he himself admires and even worships people like Fu Wusheng, especially after getting into the actor's profession. After all, he wants to be a profitable actor.It's not difficult, but it's very difficult to be an artist actor.

Fu Wusheng looked at the young man's bright eyes. He had often heard that this little guy had very fierce fans, and most of them were fans of his mother and sister.He was not surprised that Zhang Xinghuo would bow his head now that the traffic was in the ascendant. However, Zhang Xinghuo's vision still maintained his usual vicious level, and he was surprised to find a good idea among the people who couldn't understand their lines clearly.

But no matter what Fu Wusheng was thinking, he didn't show it on his face at all. In the night, his eyes were dark, "I'm not afraid of death, and neither are you?"

Shan Nan shook his head, "Not afraid."

As soon as Shannan finished speaking, Fu Wusheng reached out and smoked another cigarette from the cigarette case. He held the cigarette between his fingers, lit it with a lighter and took a puff. The white smoke slowly exhaled from Fu Wusheng's mouth, making him look even more...Looks indifferent.

When the cigarette burned to the point where it would not go out on its own, he stood up, changed the direction of the cigarette in his hand, and stuffed it directly into Shan Nan's mouth. The faint smell of tobacco immediately entered his mouth along the seam of his lips, Shan NanHe looked up at Fu Wusheng in shock.

"I didn't realize you weren't afraid." After Fu Wusheng finished speaking, he picked up the cigarette case and lighter on the coffee table and left.

After Fu Wusheng left, Shang Nan took out the cigarette from his mouth with an uncomfortable look on his face. Looking at the extinguishing fire, he didn't know what to do for a moment. He could only imitate Fu Wusheng's action of putting out the cigarette just now——Crush the cigarette on the ground.

After crushing it, Shang Nan felt that the cigarette was almost intact, so he didn't want to throw it away and put it on the coffee table.

The smell of tobacco in his mouth didn't fade away until Shannan ate several cherry tomatoes in a row. He didn't hate the light tobacco smell. It might be because Fu Wusheng's cigarettes were weak, or he simply didn't have the taste.Take a puff.

After dinner, it’s time to shoot Li Yan’s scene. Memorizing lines is not difficult for Shannan, but he is a novice in acting. He has to pick up lines, watch the camera, and figure out the character’s emotional changes.Shang Nan feels that it is quite difficult to do all these things well.

After the assistant director called to start, Li Yan was writing homework in the living room, with his schoolbag hanging on the back of the chair. Zhang Meiyuan placed several vegetable baskets beside her. While choosing vegetables, she said that Li Yan didn't know what to do. Li Yan just had to listen with an expressionless face., but there must be some small actions, from being deaf to being impatient, and from being impatient to feeling lost.

Zhang Meiyuan pinched the cowpeas and said, "I finally got in touch with such a person. Don't look at Meng Dong's shabby car repair shop, but he earns hundreds of thousands every year. If he can help those rich second generations modify a few cars, he can make a lot of money in a year."It’s not difficult to get one or two million. What’s wrong with following him to enjoy the hot and spicy food?”

Li Yan was writing his Chinese homework and frowned, "Why do you make it sound like a blind date?"

Zhang Meiyuan blinked, "What are you going to do on a blind date? What are you thinking about all day long? If you don't live with others, just wait for Li Qiangzhu to beat you to death."

Li Yan raised his eyes and looked at the green color around Zhang Meiyuan's eyes that had not faded, and sneered, "You are about to be beaten to death, why don't you want to find a home for yourself?"

Zhang Meiyuan slapped Li Yan on the back of the head, causing the vegetable basket to overturn.

In this scene, Zhang Xinghuo called out. Shannan breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the chair, thinking that he didn't know how much money he had made, so he might as well change his career after finishing this film.

Shannan was so excited with his thoughts that he looked up and found Fu Wusheng in the rest area opposite him, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. You couldn't tell that he was an actor unless you looked carefully. He looked more like an investor coming to inspect.

In the next scene, Li Yan had to be beaten. The actor who played the alcoholic father was in the same class as Zhang Meiyuan. He had acted in many family ethics dramas, so his acting skills were definitely good, but he himself said that this was also the first time for him.Playing a domestic violence man.

Zhang Xinghuo stood up, walked to Shang Nan, suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Shang Nan's collar, and with a strong force, he dragged the person directly from the chair to the ground. Shang Nan was unprepared. At that moment, his eyes were as panicked as a bird's.Chicken Little.

Fu Wusheng appeared at the previous position again. He lowered his head and looked around the coffee table, then bent down and took away most of the cigarettes that Shan Nan had placed on it.

Zhang Xinghuo didn't let go. He turned to look at the actor who played Li Yan's father, "Teacher Song, be a little more rough when he picks up Li Yan. You are drunk. Although you are not drunk, you are actually borrowing alcohol."Crazy, you learn that your son actually wants to run away, you feel that your own authority has been challenged, and you vaguely feel that your life is a failure..."

"Teacher Song should be able to control his condition well, but don't really fight, that's more than enough. This little guy has many fans. If he really fights, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect him later in the season."

Almost all the actors in "Love in the Scarlet City" are over thirty years old. The 23-year-old Shang Nan is really just a little guy in their eyes, especially in the eyes of Zhang Xinghuo, who is in his fifties.

"Makeup artist touching up makeup."

Shang Nan's makeup was even duller, and she looked like a child from a family that lacked food, clothing, and love.

Zhang Meiyuan heard the knock on the door, and both her and Li Yan's bodies trembled, "I'll open the door." She rolled up her apron with both hands and wiped them hurriedly, then trotted to open the door, and turned the door handle.Li Qiangzhu, smelling of alcohol, walked in and slapped her, "You bitch, where do you want to take my son?"

Li Yan's fingers rolled up and unrolled the corner of the homework book, rolled it up and unrolled it again, and when he unrolled it for the third time, his collar was grabbed by Li Qiangzhu, and his whole body was pulled away from the chair, and the chair wasThe belt fell to the ground.

There was a sponge mat on the floor. When Shannan was thrown on the sponge mat, he still felt dizzy. He had to admire the old actor's acting skills. Looking into Teacher Song's eyes, he really felt scared, as if the other party was really scared.Transformed into a domestic violence father.

"Makeup artist." The assistant director shouted at the top of his lungs.

Shang Nan's face changed from the handsome young man at the beginning to a bruised nose and swollen face after being beaten. He also had a fake nosebleed. The prop team stuffed a small blood bag in his mouth. It should be filled with ketchup, but some was added.In addition, the color looks more natural, and Shangnan smells the sweet and sour taste of tomato sauce.

"Clear the place, Teacher Song starts the fight."

Shang Nan suspected that Teacher Song was practicing martial arts. He couldn't handle himself too easily, but he had agreed in advance that he couldn't fight for real, so it was all fake moves, but Shang Nan had to match Teacher Song's fake moves.Make a beaten face.

He has a good memory and clearly remembers the requirements for each shot in the script. After being grabbed by Teacher Song's hair and slapped twice, Shang Nan lay on the ground, biting the blood bag, and spat out the props in his mouth.Blocking his eyes with his bangs, he said coldly: "Old immortals, let's see who dies first."

The camera zoomed in on Shang Nan's expression. Zhang Xinghuo looked quite satisfied at first, but after looking at it for a long time, he still raised the speaker next to him and said, "Hey, keep this one for now. Li Yan's expression is almost meaningless. Take another one.".”

Shang Nan was thrown to the ground again and chewed through the props for the second time. This one was not even as satisfactory as the last one to Zhang Xinghuo. "Reshoot." said the assistant director.

Shang Nanren almost fainted. For the last time, he was shaking all over. This was all because he didn't eat enough and his physical strength couldn't keep up. In addition, all the equipment and crew were waiting to take the next shot, which delayed the progress of the crew.

"The immortals, let's see who dies first."

This time, Zhang Xinghuo's eyebrows relaxed completely.

"Let's rest for ten minutes."

Because one shot was shot seven or eight times, even if the director said to take a break, no one was laughing and they quietly started to tidy up the venue and prepare the venue and props for the next shot.

The makeup artist wiped off less than half of the unbearable makeup on Shang Nan's face, leaving a few bruises.

Zhou Li came over with water and asked him to rinse his mouth, and complained in a low voice: "I think it's almost the same, taking so many photos..."

Shang Nan was holding the mineral water and was about to pour it into his mouth when Zhang Xinghuo shouted loudly, "Who gave him the water? Drink it after filming the next scene."

Shang Nankong swallowed and put the cap back on the bottle. He looked at the sponge pad being dragged out of the house and slowly figured out why Zhang Xinghuo didn't let him drink water immediately - the movie lens would magnify the details ten times and a hundred times., he rinsed the "blood" from his mouth. The plot will be coherent later, but if the picture is not coherent, it is a conspiracy and unprofessional.Unless Zhang Xinghuo dances and shoots.

Zhou Li looked at Shang Nan's wilting look, and his heart almost broke. He knew that Zhang Xinghuo's movie was difficult to make, but he didn't know that Zhang Xinghuo's movie was so difficult to make.

"It's true. After filming Love in the Feicheng City, I will never say that you are just lying around to make money again."

Shang Nan: "..."

"What's more, the cost of this movie is not high, and the remuneration given to you is actually average. It is far inferior to those saliva dramas we made before. Don't watch those dramas. They are terrible, but the remuneration is high. You can make money by filming each one."

Shang Nan felt that his mouth was sticky. He kept swiping the tip of his tongue in his mouth. Hearing Zhou Li's thoughts beside him, he whispered: "Then I prefer to make Director Zhang's movies."

"Where's Fu Wusheng?" Shannan raised his head.

"We're back to the hotel. He won't have any scenes today. You still have to have a rest tonight."

The crew's small night is from 11pm to 2am, and the big night is from 2pm to 6am. Director Zhang's small night is different from what is known in the industry. Director Zhang's small night is from 9pm to 1am.The night is from 1 am to 6 am, and many of Director Zhang's rules are made or changed by himself.

In "Love in the Scarlet City", although the male lead is Fu Wusheng, the soul and focus of the entire movie is actually Shang Nan's character, Li Yan.Meng Dong's changes are very subtle and are not even obvious in the script. After reading the script, Shang Nan felt that Meng Dong was too difficult to portray.

For example, it's the same as smoking. Meng Dong's smoking before falling in love with Li Yan is different from his smoking after falling in love with Li Yan. The screenwriter wrote a long analysis for Meng Dong.

When filming lasted until the early hours of the morning, Shannan was sleepy, tired, hungry, and hot. He was dripping with sweat. The last scene he shot was of him hitting Li Qiangzhu's head with an ashtray.

Shannan held the real ashtray and simulated it with Teacher Song several times before he dared to take action. Teacher Song was a capable person, even though his skin was not even broken. He covered his forehead, but it seemed that he was being attacked.A fatal blow.

When Zhang Xinghuo yelled for a card, Shang Nan took two steps back as hard as he could. Zhou Li quickly ran up to catch him and stuffed a candy in his mouth.

Shang Nan raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhou Li. To be honest, even his biological father probably wouldn't feel as distressed as Zhou Li.

[14: I came to this world with all my might.]

Shang Nan: "Shut up."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work today. Let's see you tomorrow. All teachers are also asked to come to the rehearsal one hour before their scenes start tomorrow."

Shang Nan drank a whole bottle of mineral water in one breath. When he was about to leave, he was pulled by Zhang Xinghuo to review what he had taken today. He held his fingers and told him which shots were good and which shots were lacking in warmth..

It was already three o'clock in the morning when he returned to the hotel. After washing up in a daze, he took a cold shower, turned on the air conditioner, and climbed into bed.

Zhou Liyong swiped his room card and opened his door, but he was too lazy to move.

"Lily's call, I want you to answer it." Zhou Li lay on the edge of the bed and put his cell phone next to Shang Nan's ear.

Lili is Shangnan's manager. Her full name is Quan Lili. Quan Lili only has three artists under her. Each artist has a different development direction. She is very responsible for the artists under her.

Shang Nan noticed it and kept calling at three in the morning to inquire about the work situation.

"Shang Nan?" Quan Lili said calmly, "How are you getting along with Teacher Fu?"

"Very good." He didn't say much.

Quan Lili: "If you don't understand anything during work, you can ask others for advice, but in private it's best to keep some distance from Teacher Fu. Although Teacher Fu's fans are Buddhist, they can't bear to take advantage of Fu Wusheng's popularity and resources.A traffic star. But there is nothing scary about this. The main thing is that Fu Wusheng’s sexual orientation has always been a mystery in the industry. He has had no scandals since his debut. He has never had a girlfriend, but he has not publicly stated that he likes men., Teacher Fu is very scheming, don’t bother others."

"I didn't." Shang Nan half-opened his eyes and thought to himself, this monster is quite mysterious.

"The movie you are shooting now has a sensitive subject matter, so there will be many eyes staring at you and Mr. Fu. Before the movie is released, you and Mr. Fu should not have any interaction on the public platform. Director Zhang must also be with you.Said."

"I heard from Zhou Li that Director Zhang asked you to lose another ten pounds?"

"Yeah." Shannan felt sleepy.

"It's not good to be too thin, but there's nothing you can do about it. It's just a few months, so keep at it."

Quan Lili didn't keep talking. After only a few minutes, the call was hung up. Zhou Li took the phone and quietly exited the room.

But not long after, Zhou Li pushed the door open again and came in without turning on the lights. His face was hidden in the darkness, "Shang Nan, don't you want to tie up with Fu Wusheng for a relationship?"

Shannan didn't know why, "I never thought about it." He could hardly open his eyes, and he couldn't move his brain.

"Actually, you can think about it." Zhou Li's voice was not high, and after he finished speaking, he closed the door and left. In the gradually narrowing crack of the door, Shang Nan was sleepy-eyed. He always felt that Zhou Li seemed to be taller than during the day.One piece.
