Chapter 79 79 Sugar
The following week, when Xu Luoyang was filming, Qi Changan followed him to the set.
Meng Huazhang sat behind the monitor and was playing back the previous shot. After watching it several times, he asked Qi Changan, "what do you think?"
"it's better than before," Qi Changan said, sitting on a white plastic portable stool, looking at the previous pictures. "it's obvious that Luoyang has a stronger sense of size."
"you are quite right, the previous lens, because Luoyang is too much into the role, put on the big screen, on the contrary, it will appear to be a little too hard, and now it is becoming more and more restrained." Meng Huazhang laughed and said, "sure enough, it was the right choice for me to invite you to this Poseidon needle."
Qi Changan did not answer, but said, "this week, the pressure in Luoyang is very great."
"I can see that he is very demanding of himself in filming, which is why he has made such rapid progress." Seeing that his eyes were always on the screen, Meng Huazhang joked, "are you distressed?"
"my heart hurts." Qi Changan nodded calmly, and his tone was a little helpless. "he talks in his sleep at night and memorizes his lines." Sometimes when you eat and start to be in a daze, you are also thinking about filming. "
Seeing his expression clearly, Meng Huazhang's speech slowed down a lot. "if I had been long enough to see you now, I would have been very happy." He and Qi Shiyan are good friends, and looking at Qi Changan is like looking at his younger generation.
Hearing what he said, Qi Changan looked back with a smile in his eyes and said, "my brother invited you to test it."
It was not embarrassing to be exposed to Meng Huazhang. He smiled and nodded, "Yes, Changyin knows that you have been with me recently, so he wants me to ask you politely how long it will take for him to meet Xu Luoyang."
Without answering immediately, Qi Changan lowered his eyelashes and said after a while, "after a while, let's do it for a while."
At this time, Xu Luoyang came out of the dressing room. Meng Huazhang stood up and immediately switched to his working state, and his expression became serious. "all departments are ready to start shooting in three minutes!" Attention, according to the previous plan a, try it first and see the effect. "
The last scene, played by Xu Luoyang, goes back to his college days, while the scene that starts filming immediately spans directly to the time of the second backtracking, which is set when he is 33 years old.
This is also a difficult point in the shooting. Xu Luoyang must grasp the emotional changes of the characters at different ages. At the same time, the interior layout of the house has made a lot of changes compared with the last scene.
"are you ready?"
Hearing Meng Huazhang's voice, Xu Luoyang replied, "I'm ready." He speaks at a noticeably slower pace-it slows down as humans get older, because their vocal cords begin to relax, and their voices become cloudy and angry.
Keenly capturing Xu Luoyang's handling of his voice, Meng Huazhang nodded, "start in ten seconds."
He walked into the room with wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, and his hair was a little messy, which made people know at a glance that he was neglected to take care of him every day. There was a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose and a half-old suit. There was obvious wear and tear on the cuffs of the coat, and the corner of the coat was covered with several folds.
The light in the room is dim, which makes people feel depressed subconsciously. He hurried to the children's room, and because he was so flustered that he did not notice the arrangement around him, he bumped his knee directly into a low table.
With a bang, he hit so hard that his steps staggered. But not so much about the trail, he continued to stumble into the children's room and stopped a few steps from the crib.
The wind chimes hanging from the crib are the only sound in the whole picture.
"camera two, give him a close-up of his face and his left hand." Meng Huazhang stared intently at Xu Luoyang standing under the camera, lowered his voice and said to himself, "restraint, you must exercise restraint, take your time.". "
After a long silence, he finally took a small step, but soon his whole body froze again, as if there was a huge black hole a few steps away, so frightened that he dared not approach. At the same time, his left hand trembled more and more, his pupils contracted, and his eyelashes trembled with fear.
He knew what he was going to face, and on his second retrospective, he chose to go back to the age of 33, before his eldest son died. But even if he goes back to the past, he is still unable to change the established course of his fate.
Without tears or hysteria, he walked slowly to the crib and knelt on his knees. He stretched out his hand, touched the child's cheek carefully, and jerked back his hand as if he had been frightened.
After that, he clung to the guardrail of the crib, and if it were not for the obvious veins on the back of his hands and the burst of blood vessels on the side of his neck, he looked more like a sculpture from a distance.
Just looking at the dead child, he moved his lips and wanted to say something, but the Adam's apple moved up and down a few times, but no sound was made. He never shed tears, but he seemed to be filled with dark clouds of sadness around him, and even the mood of the staff outside the camera was affected, and the makeup artist waiting by could not help turning his back and sobbed quietly.
Outside the camera, Meng Huazhang's eyes are getting brighter and brighter. In this scene, he did not discuss with Xu Luoyang how to deal with it. He gave all the right to set up the performance to Xu Luoyang.
And he didn't let him down.
"keep it up. Yeah, that's it. " Meng Huazhang was more nervous than the people next to him. He looked at the "backtracking" look in his eyes under the camera, watched him slowly show an even uglier smile than crying, watched him want to cry, but could not shed tears at all, and finally the sadness was suppressed. There was a blank expression for a moment, and his eyes were all at a loss, like silent questioning.
What on earth am I going back in time for? What I want to change has not been changed, and what I want to stop is still happening.
"Card!" Meng Huazhang made a sound, and he stopped Qi Changan, who was about to get up, and only after an interval of more than ten seconds did he shout "Xu Luoyang."
The reaction was a little slow, but after a few seconds, Xu Luoyang turned his head and answered, "what's the matter?"
His voice was choked and hoarse as if he had just cried.
After receiving this response, Meng Huazhang smiled and said, "very good, very good!" Let's shoot this scene again! "
Xu Luoyang made a gesture of "wait a minute" and asked Meng Huazhang. He explained, "can you give me two minutes?"
Meng Huazhang nodded. "of course."
As soon as his voice fell, he saw Xu Luoyang holding the guardrail of the crib with both hands and his head on the back of his hand. Soon, a choking cry came over.
After shooting this scene again and again for three times, Xu Luoyang's play today is over. He took the water cup handed by Qi Changan and held it for a long time without drinking it.
Already very accustomed to Xu Luoyang's mind-wandering state recently, Qi Changan waited patiently without urging him. After almost a minute, Xu Luoyang suddenly looked up, "that scene just now seems to feel different from what it used to be."
Over the past week, he has been used to discussing his feeling of filming with Qi Changan. Every time the show ends, he will think carefully about what his state is like under the camera.
"what's the difference?" Qi Changan saw that he was not in the mood to drink water, so he reached for the thermos cup and screwed it back on.
"it just feels different," Xu Luoyang thought for a moment and carefully organized the words. "it's like my body has been divided into two parts. The part of me is sad, sad and at a loss, but the feeling that comes out of my heart is sympathy, just like a bystander."
Meng Huazhang listened all the time. After listening to him, he threw a packet of cookies to Xu Luoyang and said, "take it as a reward for your progress!"
Xu Luoyang took his hands, bent his eyes and said happily, "Thank you, Director Meng!"
Walking all the way back to the place where I lived, after closing the door, Xu Luoyang happily jumped on Qi Changan and said, "Changan, have I really made a lot of progress?"
"well, really." He reached out to protect Xu Luoyang, and Qi Changan took him inside. "it's very noisy."
After grabbing his own hair that had grown a little longer, Xu Luoyang was a little embarrassed. "it took me so long to make a little progress," Xu Luoyang said. " As he said that, his ears were a little hot and the volume dropped a lot, "but your method is really useful."
Since this week, every time he is in love, Qi Changan will ask him whether he is Xu Luoyang or wandering. Several times later, Xu Luoyang found that when filming, he had changed a lot than before. Perhaps subconsciously, he felt that it was Xu Luoyang who was in love with Qi Changan, not wandering or anyone else.
"because you are a little vinegar bag, that's why it works." Qi Changan lowered his head and bit the tip of his red ear and said with a smile, "what do you want to eat at night?"
"I'll cook dinner tonight!" Xu Luoyang was in a good mood. After that, he went into the kitchen. After a while, his humming voice was heard inside.
But in less than five minutes, Xu Luoyang poked his head out of the kitchen. "Changan, do you know where the salt is?"
"on the shelf, I saw it before I left." When Qi Changan walked in, he found that the shelf was empty. he looked at Xu Luoyang, directly reached out to open the cupboard, and saw a jar of salt in it.
"did you hide it on purpose?"
Xu Luoyang blinked, "that's right." The answer was not guilty at all, but he went over a few steps and closed the kitchen door.
"then why hide it?"
"because there's a reason to ask you to come in," he went up to Qi Changan and kissed each other on the lips. "Mr. Qi, please stay where you are, so that I can see you later while I'm cooking. I will be very happy to see you, and the delicious index of the dishes will increase by 20%! "
"there are many wrong reasons." That's what Qi Changan said, but he really stood quietly for 20 minutes until Xu Luoyang finished a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and then he went out of the kitchen with the dishes.
Xu's noisy little mood:
Thank you, Mr. Qi, for your cooperation. There is a reward.
