Entertaining Children

Xiao Yao himself asked for a dark and separate space, so naturally he had no objection to being locked in a small black room. It was just that he asked the costume and makeup part to help him change into the clothes he wore during the shooting, and put on the makeup needed for the shooting before entering a small room that the assistant director helped him find.

Half an hour later, the shooting scene was ready, and the assistant director went to release Xiao Yao.

The scene of the collapse when the earthquake occurred was produced with post-processing special effects. The set in this studio is the scene that has collapsed after the earthquake stopped. Today is the first time to shoot in this studio. The first scene shot is the first reaction of Zhan Youcheng, played by Xiao Yao, after discovering the environment after the brief chaos during the earthquake.

Xiao Yao lay down on the shooting position in the studio. The staff lifted up the completed props and stones, pressed Xiao Yao's left calf, and then exited the shooting area. Because the legs were pressed by the rocks, the character couldn't move, which saved the early positioning process. The lighting and photography part adjusted the lighting and camera angles according to Xiao Yao's position and Ye Jiaying's shooting requirements. It's time to start shooting.

"Every part is ready~start!" Seeing that everyone was ready, Ye Jiaying, who was sitting behind the monitor, raised the walkie-talkie and shouted.

After the record was played, Xiao Yao did not act immediately, but continued to lie motionless on the ground for a few seconds. Just when everyone was a little puzzled, Xiao Yao slowly opened his eyes, then put his hands on the ground and sat up. This action of his also caused some dust from his hair to scatter down.

The basement was not completely dark at this time. When entering the basement, it is natural to turn on the lights. Although the earthquake interrupted the circuit and the energy-saving lamps on the roof fell off due to the earthquake, there are still two emergency lights on the wall of the basement that will automatically start after a power failure. The emergency light on one of the walls fell off due to the earthquake and was broken, but there was another emergency light that hung crookedly on the wall and did not fall off. Only one of the two light bulbs was smashed, and the other light bulb was on. of. With the help of this emergency light, Xiao Yao could barely see the environment in the basement clearly.

From Xiao Yao's shocked expression, it can be seen that Xiao Yao already understood what happened, but Xiao Yao did not yell in a hurry, but immediately groped his head, face and upper body to check if he was injured .

After checking the head and upper body, Xiao Yao just showed a relaxed and grateful smile, and then a painful expression appeared on his face. Xiao Yao looked at his lower body, and then found that his left calf was pressed by a stone, and he couldn't move. At this moment, the smile on Xiao Yao's face immediately disappeared, replaced by a panicked expression.

If you are just buried in the ruins, as long as you don't suffer any major injuries, there is still a relatively high hope of being rescued, and you can find a way to crawl out by yourself. But once the foot is pinned down and unable to move, the situation is very dangerous. Xiao Yao immediately stretched out both hands to grab his left leg and pulled it out, stretched out his right foot against the stone that was pressing down on his left leg, and kicked vigorously, then leaned over his upper body and put his palms on the rock that was pressing down on his left leg. Forcefully push out on the rock. But no matter how hard he tried, the stones pressing down on his left leg remained motionless, and his left leg was still pressed down and could not be pulled out.

"Help~ help! Is there anyone? Help!" Xiao Yao finally lost his composure, and turned his head towards the door of the basement and shouted loudly. There was trembling in this shout, and there was a faint cry, and the fear, tension and helplessness could be heard clearly.

At this time, Xiao Yao, who has fully entered the role, gives people a very different feeling.

The filming of this movie has been going on for more than half a month, and the crew has been in contact with Xiao Yao for some time. When shooting outdoor sports scenes before, Xiao Yao gave everyone the impression that his skills are very good, and he is a good seed for an action actor. Later, when filming the quarrel scene with Han Siying, everyone further felt that Xiao Yao's acting skills were not bad.

When seeing Xiao Yao's performance now, everyone already feels that Xiao Yao is a real actor.

"Cut!" Just as everyone was applauding Xiao Yao's performance in their hearts, Ye Jiaying stopped shouting, and then shouted dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter with the emergency light? Where's the electric spark?"

According to the plot, at the end of Xiao Yao's call for help, the half-hanging emergency light on the wall should flash a few sparks, and then the light bulb flashed a few times, showing an unstable situation. With this sudden change in sound and light, Xiao Yao, who was calling for help, woke up from the panic and confusion, and forced himself to calm down and consider the situation in front of him. But after Xiao Yao finished shouting this section, the emergency light that had been processed did not respond at all, leaving Xiao Yao's next performance blank.

"I'm sorry Director Ye!" A prop master immediately waved his hand to apologize to Ye Jiaying. He was so absorbed in watching Xiao Yao's performance from the sidelines just now that he lost his mind when he was supposed to operate the props and didn't keep up.

"Concentrate!" As a female director who is directing for the first time, Ye Jiaying's temper is obviously much better than those "set tyrants". She just said a word to the prop master, then pinched the walkie-talkie and directed, "Everyone Department attention! This one comes again!"

"Xiao Yao, how is your condition now?" Ye Jiaying asked Xiao Yao again.

"Give me three minutes to recover." Xiao Yao said with a helpless smile. The call for help just now was a small emotional outburst, his eyes were already red, and he needed time to readjust to start over.

"Okay, let me know when you feel better." Ye Jiaying nodded.

"Okay!" Three minutes later, Xiao Yao shouted and lay down on the ground again.

"Every part is ready~ Everyone pay attention this time! Let's start!" Ye Jiaying directed again.

When the second shot was taken again, the prop master did not make any more mistakes. Hearing the sound of electric sparks, Xiao Yao stopped shouting and turned to look at the half-fallen emergency light on the wall. Looking at the flickering lights, Xiao Yao was startled, as if he remembered something, he immediately turned his clothes pockets. Xiao Yao didn't find what he wanted in his pocket, so Xiao Yao started searching in the basement.

Following Xiao Yao's gaze, a mobile phone crushed under a rock appeared in the camera. Judging from the exposed part of the stone, the main body of the mobile phone has been smashed, and it is obviously useless. Despair flashed in Xiao Yao's eyes, and then he shook his head, as if shaking off some of the depression in his heart, and continued to search around on the ground.

Xiao Yao's eyes lit up when he saw the backpack on the ground. Before the earthquake, he came in looking for trekking poles with a backpack on his back. When the earthquake happened, he was looking for trekking poles. Although he took off the backpack he was carrying, he put it at his feet. At this time, the backpack was not far from where he was lying.

Trying his best to lean sideways, Xiao Yao stretched his arms, and finally reached a strap of the backpack. After pulling the backpack to his side, Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Afterwards, Xiao Yao opened the backpack, took out all the things inside, and placed it on the ground within his reach together with a sports watch with luminous function on his hand. Looking up at the emergency light hanging obliquely on the wall, and then turning his head to look at the direction of the basement door, Xiao Yao turned his head to the pile of things on the ground, thinking quietly.

"Cut! This one is good!" Ye Jiaying stopped this time with satisfaction, "Get ready for the next shot."

In the movie plot, after "Zhan Youcheng" who has completely calmed down puts out all the available things, the first step is to use a flashlight to observe the environment of the basement more carefully. Through observation, he found that there seemed to be gaps in the ruins, and he didn't need to worry too much about the air problem. But even so, he only had a bag of food and a bottle of water around him. For him who was underground and unable to move, the situation was still very serious.

Being underground, lacking food and water, and being unable to move, in these relatively harsh situations, the first thing that needs to be solved is the problem of being unable to move. So after opening the water bottle and taking a sip of water, he picked up the small hand ax that was lying on the ground from his backpack, bent over to chop the concrete stone that was pressing on his left leg, and tried to free his left leg. leg.

Their trip this time is to climb mountains in the wild, and there is no rock climbing project, so there is no stone cone and hammer in the bag, only a small hand ax for opening the road. This small hand ax that opens the way is used to clear weeds and branches, and its effect on stones is limited. In addition, the calf of the left leg is pressed upwards, and the knee cannot be bent. This movement is also greatly restricted. This effect is naturally even more discounted.

The action of chopping stones lasted for several hours, until the edge of the hand ax was blunted, and there were still places where the edge was missing, and "Zhan Youcheng" had to give up.

Just when "Zhan Youcheng" fell into despair, he suddenly heard the sound of the search and rescue team from the ground. "Zhan Youcheng" who was ignited with hope immediately shouted for help at the top of his voice. As a result, he yelled intermittently for nearly half an hour, but did not hear the slightest response. When the movement on the ground disappeared, "Zhan Youcheng" fell into the bottom of his mood again.

After the search and rescue team on the ground left, "Zhan Youcheng" was disappointed, but not completely desperate. He ate half of the only package of food, drank some water, and prepared to rest for a few hours before trying to find a solution. Although it is summer, the underground is already cool, and the temperature at night is relatively low, so it is still quite cold to sleep like this. In order to reduce the consumption of body heat, "Zhan Youcheng" tied the hand ax and the rope together, hooked up a sleeping bag scattered on the ground in the basement, wrapped the sleeping bag around his body, and fell asleep.

In a trance, "Zhan Youcheng" recalled in his dream the scene where he used to climb mountains with like-minded friends. At that time, they all went to the mountains to feel the sunshine closer to the sun. Thinking of that feeling, "Zhan Youcheng" sat up all of a sudden. It seems that he was reluctant to give up the feeling of breathing freely and seeing all the mountains at a glance, "Zhan Youcheng" once again summoned up the courage to survive.

The small hand ax was useless, the ropes used for mountain climbing appeared in the dream just now, and "Zhan Youcheng" turned his mind to the bundle of ropes beside him. It was already the second day at this time, "Zhan Youcheng" ate something, drank some water, regained a little strength, and started tossing the bundle of ropes, trying to use the rope to pull the stone that was pressing down on his leg. piece.

This work took most of a day. Through continuous efforts, "Zhan Youcheng" finally put the rope on the stone pressing his left leg in the best way he thought. "Zhan Youcheng" pulled the rope with both hands, but the stone remained motionless. After another failure, "Zhan Youcheng" ate all the leftover food in a rather self-defeating manner, and collapsed on the ground again.

This time, the appearance of his girlfriend suddenly appeared in the mind of "Zhan Youcheng". From acquaintance, love, quarrel, and breakup, the experience of the two of them appeared in his mind like a movie.

"It's a good thing she's gone, otherwise she might be the one lying here now." "Zhan Youcheng" murmured, with less despair in his tone, but more joy.

The sudden sound of rain woke up "Zhan Youcheng" from his trance. After waking up, "Zhan Youcheng" found a stream of water flowing in through the cracks in the ruins. "Zhan Youcheng" was taken aback. Immediately moved the items around him to avoid being washed away by the water, and at the same time tried his best to lift his upper body to minimize contact with the water.

At this time, "Zhan Youcheng" heard the sound of someone moving on the ground again, and he was overjoyed and immediately opened his mouth to call for help again. Last time, "Zhan Youcheng" was in better condition, and the sound was louder, which did not attract the attention of the search and rescue team above. Now the sound was smaller, and it was mixed with the sound of rain, so it was naturally harder for people to hear. Thinking of this, "Zhan Youcheng" also thought of the rain and darkness, so he used a lighter to ignite some fabrics around him to keep his body warm, hoping that the fire light would spread to the ground and attract the attention of search and rescue personnel on the ground.

This time, "Zhan Youcheng" is still in vain. After a while, the rain stopped, and the noise above disappeared.

Looking at the luminous sports watch, more than fifty hours have passed. At this time, the food was finished, the water was also drunk, and even the emergency light half-hanging on the wall had already run out of power and went out, so it could only be illuminated by a flashlight. "Zhan Youcheng" really felt hopeless.

In the darkness, "Zhan Youcheng" remembered his childhood, his parents at home, and struggled to sit up again. After licking his chapped lips, "Zhan Youcheng" took the water bottle at hand. Water is much more important than food, and consumes a lot. From the second day on, "Zhan Youcheng" just urinated in the water bottle and did not waste his urine.

For the next three days, "Zhan Youcheng" basically spent in darkness. Only when I really can't bear it, will I turn on the flashlight and drink my own urine from the water bottle.

On the afternoon of the sixth day, the search and rescue personnel came from the ground again. "Zhan Youcheng" sat up reflexively, and looked up hopefully. "Zhan Youcheng" opened his mouth to call out, but found that his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly hear it. In desperation, I could only turn on the flashlight and keep shaking it at various gaps in the ruins.

In the past few days, "Zhan Youcheng" can only watch the time through the watch, and has never seen the sun, which means that the light of the flashlight must not be directly irradiated. "Zhan Youcheng" doing this is better than nothing. But just as it was shaking like this, "Zhan Youcheng" seemed to have caught sight of a gecko that was disturbed by the light of the flashlight and passed through the gaps in the ruins.

Seeing the gecko, "Zhan Youcheng" immediately remembered the ability of the gecko to escape by cutting off its tail. His heart was lifted, and his eyes unconsciously turned to his pinned leg. After hesitating for a while, knowing that this was the last chance, "Zhan Youcheng" tightly tied his left leg below the knee with the rope, then raised the small hand axe, and chopped along the edge of the stone. down...

Such a long plot is almost Xiao Yao's one-man show alone, which is difficult to act in the first place, and more importantly, it has experienced several mood ups and downs and changes. For the memory part, Ye Jiaying has already finished filming, and I can show it to Xiao Yao to help him change his emotions. As for the part of the search and rescue team outside, there was only a scene of a search and rescue team discovering and rescuing "Zhan Youcheng" when they came out at the end. The previous two times did not appear in the movie, but were only presented through sound. Xiao Yao can only change his emotions through imagination.

This is undoubtedly very difficult for a 20-year-old rookie actor. But after the whole shooting, Xiao Yao did quite well. Not only Ye Jiaying expressed satisfaction, but after shouting "Cut", the crew couldn't help applauding Xiao Yao's performance several times.

In fact, this filming was not only difficult and hard for Xiao Yao, but also for the crew.

It is July now, it is already summer, the temperature is not low, and the studio is a relatively closed environment, hot and stuffy, it is very hard to shoot in it for a long time.

But in terms of hard work, Ye Jiaying as the director and Xiao Yao as the leading actor should be the two hardest people in the crew. One of these two is a movie queen, and the other is a "little king of the music world". Work is silent, and the rest of the crew are too embarrassed to complain.

After one and a half months, thanks to the concerted efforts and hard work of all the crew, the filming of the entire film was finally successfully completed.

Although there will be a series of work such as editing, soundtrack, special effects production and other post-production parties, as well as a series of work such as submission for review and scheduling for release, these tasks have nothing to do with Xiao Yao. After the film was finished, Xiao Yao could finally relax and leave the film crew for vacation.
