Rebirth Turn - Chapter 36

After the props and sets are ready, and the lighting and photography are all in place, in the executive director’s “Action”, the camera starts to slowly turn.

The first thing that entered the shot was a lamp, which glowed a warm yellow light in the darkened room due to the heavy curtains, making people feel relaxed and at ease.

The camera gradually zoomed out, and there was only a desk and a reclining chair in the small room. On the recliner sat a young man, wearing a plaid shirt, his hair dyed a dazzling color, his hands folded on his chest, his eyes closed, his pupils twitching uneasily under his lids.

The doctor in a white coat stood beside him, leaned down slightly to comfort him in a low voice full of magnetism, and soon, the young man relaxed, still closed his eyes, and started a slow statement.

The camera zoomed out again, then slowly moved closer, this time directly into the frame of the doctor’s front. He was wearing a strict shirt and trousers in a white coat, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his handsome face. With the young man’s narration, the expression on the doctor’s face gradually changed, anger, sadness, hatred, ruthlessness… Finally, it gradually returned to silence.

The young man’s voice stopped, and the doctor leaned over again and whispered in his ear, “I count to three, and you can wake up after hearing the click.”

As expected, the young man opened his eyes after snapping his fingers. The expression on the doctor’s face had returned to gentleness and calmness, and all the emotions he had just revealed were an illusion.

The doctor asked gently, “How are you feeling now?”

“Much better,” said the young man. “Thanks doctor.”

“It seems that this kind of treatment is very effective,” the doctor smiled more cordially. He flipped through the notepad in his hand and said, “Then, in three days, you can come back for another consultation.”

“Okay.” The young man thanked and walked out.

After the door was closed, the smile on the doctor’s face immediately turned cold. He stared at the closed door for a while, then slowly lowered his head and opened the drawer. There was a flipped picture frame in it. The doctor gently stroked the picture frame. As if he was recalling something, a tender and nostalgic expression appeared on his face. Gradually, the expression slowly solidified, and finally turned into a sharp chill on the thin lips.

With a “card” sound, the shooting of this group of shots was completed, and it still went through smoothly.

Lu Yan also relaxed, restrained his determination, got up and straightened his white coat, and walked out of the shooting set room with only three walls.

Gao Xizhe gave him a thumbs up and laughed loudly, “Lu Yan, it’s great, the last extra scene is amazing.”

Lu Yan smiled and said jokingly, “Suddenly I have an idea, I hope I don’t waste too much high-quality film.”

“Haha,” Gao Xizhe laughed even louder, “it’s a good thing to have more sudden thoughts like this, I can afford to waste this film. But if you add more scenes without saying hello, I’m not afraid that I will end the shooting without paying attention. , that would be a waste of money.”

Lu Yan said with a smile, “It’s so exciting, I can’t stop for a while, but fortunately Gao Dao didn’t really pinch it off.”

“Okay, okay,” Gao Xizhe waved his hand, “Let’s not be poor to each other. Come, come and see the scene to be shot next, do you have any ideas?”

Lu Yan pursed his lips slightly, “I really have some thoughts on this part.”

Then the two discussed it together.

After Gao Xizhe formally contacted Lu Yan, he found that Lu Yan was also a fan of reasoning, and he also had some unique insights into suspense dramas. The foreshadowings and highlights found, it can be seen that they have also worked hard to study, and it is a bit late to meet.

This time we just happened to work together. On the first night, I pulled Lu Yan to discuss the script again, and made better adjustments in the handling of some details. In the process of filming, Lu Yan also surprised him from time to time. Just like what Li Ran told him, Lu Yan’s sense of play is very good, and he enters the play very quickly. The impact is better than usual. The most intuitive result is that as long as there is Lu Yan’s lens, the number of NGs will be much less, and the effect will be more perfect. As for the sudden addition of drama like just now, it is not the first time, and every burst of inspiration can better interpret what Gao Xizhe wants to express.

Gao Xizhe knew that such a result was not accidental, because he found that Lu Yan’s familiarity and understanding of the script was no less than that of the original creator. He could imagine how much time and energy the other party spent behind the scenes to study and understand it thoroughly. In Gao Xizhe’s impression, it seems that only the group of people who can be called artists of the older generation can be so serious. In those days, the shooting cycle of a TV series and a movie was often a few years, unlike today’s fast food era, where a few A movie and a TV series are released every month. Therefore, there are too few young actors like Lu Yan who are willing to work hard. If you don’t really love it, it’s hard to give like this.

Gao Xizhe himself is also a person who loves movies very much, so he appreciates and recognizes Lu Yan even more.

Soon, the shooting of the next scene is also ready.

Facing the opposite actor in this scene, Lu Yan’s mood was a bit complicated. When he saw each other on the set for the first time, he was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect to meet him in this play by such a coincidence.

The actor who made Lu Yan feel a little complicated was Song Lian.

At this time, Song Lian was still a second- and third-tier actor, and being able to play the second male lead in Gao Xizhe’s films was already a considerable achievement.

However, Lu Yan is very clear that without his own intervention, the actor of “Sniper” should be him, and he will also win the honor of Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival next year, and then create a new world of acting. But all this changed because of Lu Yan’s existence.

Lu Yan didn’t think his actions were wrong. He was not a saint, so he had no reason to give up the opportunity when he knew it was an opportunity. Besides, this opportunity was given to him by himself. .

However, all this of course could not prevent Lu Yan from having such an inexplicable apology when facing this person.

So Lu Yanhui couldn’t help but pay more attention to him.

Song Lian’s own acting skills are also good, otherwise even if there is the best film “Sniper”, he may not be awarded the best actor. His appearance belongs to the sunny and vigorous type, which is also in line with the identity of the hot-blooded police detective in this film.

Song Lian debuted a few years earlier than Lu Yan, but this place in the entertainment industry not only pays attention to qualifications, but also pays attention to fame. The current situation is that Lu Yan is more famous than Song Lian, not to mention that he is also the hero of the show, so when they meet, Song Lian always calls Lu Yan “Brother Lu” politely.

Today’s scene is their first rivalry since filming began.

There is still an “Action”, and the camera is in place.

The doctor in a white lab coat sat on the sofa in the reception room with a professional smile, “The police officer suddenly visited, how can I help you?”

The plainclothes detective sat across from him and asked directly, “Do you know a man named Xu Yuan?”

“This name is a bit familiar, let me think about it,” said the doctor with a thoughtful expression. “If I remember correctly, I have a patient named this name. It’s just that he hasn’t come back to me for three months. , what happened to him?”

“He’s dead,” the detective said directly, staring at the doctor’s expression.

“Dead?!” The doctor was surprised and frowned, “How did you die?”

The detective was a little disappointed to find that he couldn’t see anything other than surprise on the doctor’s face. If this was acting, then the doctor’s acting skills could almost be the best actor. “There were five other young people who died with him. The way to die is a bit weird.”

The doctor’s frown did not loosen. “I’m sorry. So, why did the police officer come to see me?”

The detective said, “I want to see Xu Yuan’s treatment records.”

“I’m sorry,” the doctor refused. “Protecting the privacy of patients is our basic professional ethics. Of course, if you have a search warrant, it’s another matter.”

“Okay, I’ll apply for a search warrant,” the detective said, standing up and reaching out to the doctor, “Thank you for your cooperation.”

The doctor smiled and held the detective’s hand, “That’s what it should be.”

The detective walked to the door, turned around suddenly, and asked, “Do you remember Fang Yuchen?”

“Who?” The doctor showed an appropriately surprised and puzzled expression, “Who is Fang Yuchen?”

The detective said disappointedly, “It’s nothing, I’ll just ask.”

The door opened and closed, and the expression on the doctor’s face was silent again, but his eyes were particularly intriguing.

“Card”. Gao Xizhe raised his hand, and the camera stopped turning.

The two walked over, and Gao Xizhe said happily, “Not bad, Song Lian’s performance today is quite calm.”

Song Lian showed shyness that didn’t match his appearance, “I also think that today’s state is very good. I don’t know if it’s because of the drama with Brother Lu, but I feel that the whole person is motivated.”

“Don’t say that,” Lu Yan said with a smile, “It’s because of your own acting skills that you are very good.”

“Okay, you two,” Gao Xizhe slapped each other on the shoulders, “don’t tout each other. Everyone is in good shape today, and the tasks have been completed. Yeah, no more time, stop work early, and invite you in the evening. drink wine.”

“There’s still filming tomorrow,” Lu Yan said with a smile, “Is it okay to drink too much?”

“I’m the director, I said no problem, no problem. Let’s go, I won’t go home tonight if I don’t get drunk.” Gao Xizhe waved his hand, very heroic.

In the days that followed, Lu Yan lived like a duck to water. Acting is what he loves in the first place, and it feels great to be able to add his own insights in the process and make his own ideas part of the film. Especially when this film is a suspense film, every scene, every prop, even every sentence and every look, may be a foreshadowing, a problem, a problem waiting for the audience to discover and challenge. puzzle.

In addition to acting, Lu Yan and Gao Xizhe studied the script the most, how to make the plot more reasonable, how to make the puzzles more difficult to solve, and how to set the death trick to be more attractive and reasonable at the same time.

The time soon came to October, and the filming of the film also began to count down. In between, Lu Yan stayed on the crew except for the necessary announcements that could not be pushed back. Lu Yan himself was very happy with the hard life of the crew, but Song Hui often had to run on both sides to arrange delicious clothes for Lu Yan.

In October, there is another event that Lu Yan can’t miss, that is, the award ceremony of the Golden Bull Baicao Film Festival.
