Chapter 194 His Skills

There was a shot that was to be shot of Lu Yanhe being stepped on by someone. The effect Luo Yuzhong wanted to achieve was a close-up shot of Lu Yanhe being pressed to the ground, with someone else's feet directly stepping on Lu Yanhe's face and crushing him hard.

It was just that it was not known whether Lu Yanhe would be willing to shoot such a shot.

This kind of humiliating shot could not overcome all psychological barriers with just one sentence "actors must be dedicated".

In many crews, such shots would be processed, such as having someone put their hands into their shoes and use their hands as feet to "step on" the actor's face, or using a stand-in or other processing methods.

Luo Yuzhong came to communicate with Lu Yanhe about how to shoot this shot.

Of course, he hoped to shoot it for real.

But he also knew that Lu Yanhe still relied on his face to make a living at this stage. This kind of shot that stepped on his face and crushed it, not to mention whether it was ugly or not, could easily cause scratches on his face.

Luo Yuzhong was not a tyrant-like director. Although he was strict at ordinary times, he was not the type who forced an actor to do something that the actor did not accept.

Therefore, Luo Yuzhong was going to persuade Lu Yanhe seriously to accept this shot.

However, Luo Yuzhong did not expect that Lu Yanhe nodded and said yes as soon as he opened his mouth.

Luo Yuzhong was stunned.

He did not react.

He could not help but remind him: "This shot will make you look ugly."

"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded, not caring at all.

Luo Yuzhong understood that Lu Yanhe had never shot this kind of shot before, and he did not know that it was easy to get facial scratches, nor did he know how ugly it would be when shot.

He had no such concept.

Luo Yuzhong hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should explain it to Lu Yanhe. But seeing that Lu Yanhe had no resistance to shooting this shot, Luo Yuzhong hoped to strike while the iron was hot and let Lu Yanhe shoot this shot smoothly.

In the end, in order to ensure this shot, Luo Yuzhong chose to remain silent.

Xiao Lu, you are very naive, which is also a good thing, just sacrifice for art.

Lu Yanhe always felt that Luo Yuzhong's last look at him revealed a little bit of reluctance.

-

In fact, Lu Yanhe really had no resistance to this scene.

He didn't think that every scene he had to shoot had to be beautiful.

At this time, we have to talk about the acting teacher that Chen Ziyan invited for Lu Yanhe, Zhang Ming, who taught him acting theory every day.

Zhang Ming instilled in him a concept from the beginning, that acting is the beauty extracted from reality.

Reality includes both the objective beautiful side and the objective ugly side, but acting is the reality placed in the camera, which is an abstract beauty that transcends reality.

A person can be beautiful and empty without soul in the camera, or he can be ugly and shocking in the camera, which makes people tremble in their hearts.

The latter is the beauty of acting.

-

Wang Yunfan sat in his chair, waiting to watch Lu Yanhe perform the next scene.

Suddenly, Li Qian also came over.

She moved her chair and sat down next to him, looked at the people in front who were setting up the scene, and asked, "What are you sitting here watching?"

Wang Yunfan: "Director Luo just said that Lu Yanhe has a high level of understanding. I want to see how high his understanding is."

Li Qian immediately heard the jealousy in Wang Yunfan's heart.

Emotions such as jealousy are more difficult to hide than other emotions.

If she had not seen Lu Yanhe act with her own eyes, Li Qian would have echoed Wang Yunfan at this time, because Wang Yunfan was her old classmate, and she had to stand on his side emotionally and rationally.

However, she had seen what Lu Yanhe looked like when acting with her own eyes, and she really couldn't agree with him against her will.

"Don't care what he does, just act well in your own play." Li Qian could only say this in the end.

She didn't look at Wang Yunfan, but looked ahead, as if she was looking at something.

Wang Yunfan looked at her in surprise.

"Have you seen Lu Yanhe act?" Wang Yunfan immediately keenly noticed the evasion in Li Qian's words.

This is not in line with Li Qian's usual speaking style.

This is how it is between old friends. It is too easy to reveal one's true thoughts and emotions in front of each other.

Because they know each other's usual style too well, it is too easy to detect any abnormality.

Li Qian nodded and said, "I have seen it."

"Do you also think what Director Luo said is right?"

"If you want to hear the truth, you might as well wait and see for yourself." Li Qian said, "Seeing is believing."

-

Everything is ready.

Lu Yanhe has already lied down at the point according to the director's instructions.

The ground has not been treated in any way, and dust and debris still appear on the ground.

Ordinary people would not want to touch such a ground with their hands, but Lu Yanhe lied down as soon as he said, with one side of his cheek directly on the ground.

This posture of shooting as soon as he said it surprised the filming team headed by Luo Yuzhong.

Luo Yuzhong was the most surprised.

He has seen too many actors, all kinds of them, but there are very few actors like Lu Yanhe who don't care about tossing themselves.

There are many people who boast about their professionalism, many who flatter each other in business, and some who are put on the spot and forced to be "dedicated" under the watchful eyes of the public. But there are very few who can just calmly and naturally lie down on the ground like dust.

"This guy, doesn't he care about his face?" Even the director of photography Liu Zeliang couldn't help but sigh.

-

Later, Li Qian saw Lu Yanhe ready, turned around and asked Wang Yunfan: "Let me ask you, if you were asked to shoot this scene, would you bury your face in the ground so readily?"

Wang Yunfan wanted to say that of course he had no problem.

He never thought that there was anything wrong with his professionalism.

But when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again. It was of course no problem for him to shoot such a scene, but he would require that the dust and debris on the ground were specially handled and clean, and he would also hope that as little as possible would not be stepped on.

Li Qian was familiar with his personality and knew what he would do.

It didn't matter what he said, he already had the answer in his heart.

Li Qian said: "This Lu Yanhe really impressed me. I used to discriminate against idol artists like them. They have no acting skills, no experience, and nothing except being polite. This time, Lu Yanhe is different. After all, he is a top student. This spirit is different."

"How long have we known him? Do you think he is different from others?" Wang Yunfan still refused to admit that Lu Yanhe was better than they expected.

Li Qian: "This kind of thing can be seen from the small details."

-

When the opponent actor stepped on his face, Lu Yanhe finally felt a little humiliated.

This feeling came from being stepped on by someone, which was completely different from the imaginary feeling that he had imagined ten thousand times.

A feeling of humiliation and anger came out directly without any need to be mobilized, and surged into his heart.

Yao Yu'an's anger, humiliation, and embarrassment at this moment were all focused on Lu Yanhe.

A camera was capturing a close-up of Lu Yanhe.

At this moment, Lu Yanhe's eyes were filled with reluctance and anger.

Luo Yuzhong and Liu Zeliang, who were sitting behind the monitor, nodded involuntarily.

This feeling was right, and it was right no matter how he acted.

Lu Yanhe roared, grabbed his opponent's ankle, and moved it away from his face.

The strength of his two hands was so great that the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

"No. 3, take a close-up of Lu Yanhe's back of his hand." Liu Zeliang suddenly picked up the intercom and said softly.

They used three cameras to shoot this scene, just to get it through in one take, so that the actors would not have to toss it twice.

Luo Yuzhong didn't say anything, and Liu Zeliang had already instructed him on his idea.

This was a tacit understanding between the two old friends, and also a consensus on the quality standards of the play.

The scene was quiet.

The staff were all looking at the scene in the studio in front of them.

Lu Yanhe got up from the ground unwillingly.

He hunched over slightly, enduring the pain in his body, with a fire in his eyes, staring at the people in front of him, with an attitude of not giving up.

Suddenly, with a sudden "bang", a baseball bat hit Lu Yanhe from behind.

"Okay, click!" Luo Yuzhong called a stop in time, "Stop, change props."

A staff member came forward with a specially made baseball bat and exchanged the props in his hand with the actor holding the baseball bat.

Luo Yuzhong: "Get ready to continue, come on, start!"

The actor held a baseball bat and hit Lu Yanhe's back of the head hard.

Lu Yanhe seemed to be dizzy, his body suddenly startled, and then shook.

"Stop!" Luo Yuzhong called a stop again.

At this time, blood was dripping on Lu Yanhe's head.

The makeup artist in charge of special effects makeup held the blood bag in his hand high above Lu Yanhe's head.

"Ready!" Luo Yuzhong shouted.

At this moment, the camera was also cooperating.

The camera focused on Lu Yanhe's neck.

"Begin!"

As Luo Yuzhong shouted, the makeup artist immediately broke the blood bag in his hand, and a small splash of artificial blood fell on the back of Lu Yanhe's head.

The makeup artist immediately left the camera.

From the camera, a stream of blood flowed down from the head, flowing through Lu Yanhe's neck and sliding under his neck.

The camera slowly moved up, and while moving up, it also moved backwards, slowly pulling from a close-up to a panoramic view.

Lu Yanhe raised his hand and touched the back of his head, and felt a hand full of blood.

He blinked in shock.

"Senior!" Jiang Yuqian went to call someone back, and she looked at Lu Yanhe with panic on her face. There were four or five meters between the two.

Lu Yanhe heard Jiang Yuqian's voice and turned his head in a daze.

He saw Jiang Yuqian's anxious look and the classmates behind her.

He wanted to say hello to them, but his eyes suddenly went black.

He fell directly.

Without any buffer, he fell to the ground.

"Yao Yu'an——" This was the last sound he heard, a shrill scream.

-

Lu Yanhe felt that his eyes had really gone dark just now, not because of the camera effect, but because of the feeling at that moment.

When he fell to the ground, he felt that his soul was also thrown out in an instant.

He was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, but he seemed to be able to see himself falling to the ground from mid-air.

The blood flowed out and slowly overflowed.

Jiang Yuqian rushed over, threw herself behind him, pushed him, and called his name.

He seemed to be able to see her tears and fear, as if he could feel the silence of being isolated from the whole world.

Until a distant "click" came.

All souls return.

Lu Yanhe opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yuqian, who was still kneeling in front of him, with tears on his face.

"Sister Yuqian." He shouted helplessly.

Her assistant Luo Xiaoyu came over and handed her tissues.

Jiang Yuqian took the tissue and wiped the tears from her face.

Lu Yanhe suddenly felt a little pain in his shoulder. It seemed that when he fell down just now, he didn't pay attention to relieve the force and hit the ground hard.

I didn't feel it when I hit it, but now the pain is coming slowly.

"Very good." Luo Yuzhong came over and gave Jiang Yuqian and Lu Yanhe a big hug.

"This scene was performed very well." Luo Yuzhong said.

The key is that this scene was completed in one go, with only a few stops in the middle.

Jiang Yuqian said with a smile: "I only showed up for the last time, mainly Xiao Lu. I was watching his performance from the side. I was shocked. He really got into it as soon as he said he was in the state. He handled it a lot better than we did in this kind of performance." The actors in the New Year drama also need to have a sense of hierarchy.”

Luo Yuzhong said to Lu Yanhe: "The scene after you were finally beaten, tsk, from the look in the eyes to the look back, every detail is good, there are no words to say it is good."

He looked at Lu Yanhe as if he had discovered a unique treasure.

Lu Yanhe touched his greasy "blood", dumbfounded and said, "Thank you, director, do I need to take another shot?"

Luo Yuzhong: "Just add a few more shots. There is no need to reshoot. I brought three cameras here today just to let you do it only once. Don't bother you. This scene consumes a lot of money, I know."

"Thank you, director." Lu Yanhe said gratefully.

Luo Yuzhong patted Lu Yanhe firmly on the shoulder, full of encouragement.

As a result, Lu Yanhe screamed, which shocked Luo Yuzhong. He thought he had struck too hard and looked at his palm with suspicion.

Although he used force just now, he didn't make Lu Yanhe scream so fiercely, right?

"Are you injured on your shoulder?" Jiang Yuqian was careful and asked immediately.

When Luo Yuzhong heard this, he remembered the moment when Lu Yanhe fell down, but there was no buffer at all.

He immediately shouted: "Call the doctor to come and take a look!"

During the filming of this scene, the crew had already hired a doctor to prevent this situation.

Upon inspection, it was found that fortunately, there was no injury to the muscles or bones. It was just a bruise due to a severe impact and bruises.

Lu Yanhe tried to move his arm, but found that he couldn't move his arm very well and seemed to be numb.

Luo Yuzhong looked at his shoulder nervously.

"Then take a rest first," he said.

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "Director, what scenes are you going to reshoot? Let's shoot them in one go. I'm afraid I won't be able to muster up the energy to shoot as soon as I take a break. It's just the last few shots. I want to shoot them in one go."

When Luo Yuzhong heard this, he nodded and said yes.

So, Lu Yanhe gritted his teeth and finished shooting a few more scenes.

At this point, Lu Yanhe's first drama in his life has been completed.

When Luo Yuzhong said the word "passed", Lu Yanhe felt relieved, but also a little reluctant.

Mo Zhi held a bouquet of flowers and gave it to Luo Yuzhong, who gave it to Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe accepted it in surprise, hugged it with his right hand, and looked at Luo Yuzhong in surprise.

"I am very happy to be the director of your first play in life. I hope you will start with this play and let the world see your talent." Luo Yuzhong said enthusiastically, "You have a very touching talent, grasp it well. Don’t let God feed you this bowl of rice.”

Lu Yanhe nodded, thinking about leaving, feeling sad and reluctant, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Thank you, director."

Luo Yuzhong smiled and hugged him gently.

"Okay, let's not say those pretentious words between us men. We have a long way to go. See you later." Luo Yuzhong said, "When the time comes to announce the drama, I also ask for your help. Although it is only a small supporting role, it is definitely worth your time. A character of pride and remembrance.”

"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded seriously, "I will, director."

When it was Jiang Yuqian's turn, Jiang Yuqian had completely returned to her usual appearance.

She looked at him with a smile and emotion.

"It's great. I'm glad we have such a cooperation. I hope we can work together in more scenes next time."

"Well, thank you Sister Yuqian!" Lu Yanhe nodded with a smile, and some emotions that only he knew were spreading in his heart, "I'm glad I dated you. You are my first girlfriend."

Jiang Yuqian burst into laughter.

"You are the first one who dares to take advantage of me in person." She raised her lips, "But since you are my unique boyfriend, I will forgive you this time."

Lu Yanhe bowed slightly to her gratefully.

"Thank you, Sister Yuqian, for recommending me to act in this drama."
