Chapter 2 The bloody case caused by a box of lunch
Yu Ming held the script in his left hand and the thick notes he made in his right hand. The script was only a few thin pages, but the notes had about 30 pages. This was the habit that Yu Ming left in his previous life. He would do a lot of homework before acting, reading the original work, personality analysis, character relationship analysis, and language logic analysis. These are the things Yu Ming had to prepare before acting every time.
Reading the original work can make one's understanding of the story background and lay the foundation for the subsequent analysis of the characters' personalities and interpersonal relationships. Character analysis and character relationship analysis can make one's fuller of the characters they want to create. The final language logic analysis is because the language logic of some scripts is poor, making it difficult for the audience to have a connection between the front and back, which leads to poor viewing effects. At this time, one needs to make a little modification, and sometimes the small changes have completely different effects.
After doing the whole set of work, Yu Ming needs at least one month to work hard from receiving the script to starting acting. In contrast, the roles played by Yu Ming are all excellent.
In Yu Ming's opinion, the ending of "Meeting Love on the Corner" seems to be a tragedy, but the author wants to express that people need a courage to go out or take one more step. The three protagonists in the movie do not bravely take a step when they encounter the turning point of their life, so they do not meet love. What the author wants to express is that perhaps only with this courage can one gain love, rather than an apparent tragic ending. Therefore, the core of the three protagonists here need to express must be cowardice, but they cannot be expressed directly, and they cannot even mention a word. They can only be expressed through a high-level performance form.
Therefore, Yu Ming felt that not everyone could act in this drama, because even a qualified actor might not be able to express his original character while leaving a trace. Only those strong acting people can do it.
But in the crew that has been filming for almost a week, the other two protagonists except Yu Ming did not realize this at all, which made Yu Ming very worried about the final result of the entire movie.
If in his previous life, Yu Ming's status in the martial arts world at that time, he could have raised it with the director and other actors. But now, as a newcomer who is not academic and has no backing connections behind him, some things cannot be said. Li Yun, played by Lu Wei, needs to show cowardice in the script. Although it cannot be compared with Yu Ming's high-level performance, at least it is considered a passing grade. However, Gao Zichen, played by Zheng Haoming, cannot. Gao Zichen in the movie is already tall, rich and handsome, so it is difficult for him to show that cowardice. Zheng Haoming obviously has no acting skills except a face.
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Ming silently lit a wax for Zheng Haoming in his heart. Sorry, buddy, I can only suppress your show.
The previous week was a match between Yu Ming and Lu Wei. The 29-year-old Zhang Runhe, played by Yu Ming, is a world-famous painter and artist. He returned from the United States to settle in Haicheng, Huaxia. At a painting exhibition, he met the socialite Li Yun of the upper class. Zhang Runhe and Li Yun had a great chat at the exhibition, and gradually became confidants and secretly developed feelings for each other. However, Li Yun concealed his identity and felt that his dirty self was not worthy of Zhang Runhe, a romantic talent with innocence and persistence in beauty in his eyes, but Zhang Runhe was attracted to him like a star. Zhang Runhe was like the real happiness brought to Li Yun's life by a light of redemption. But during the shooting last week, Lu Wei was called off countless times.
Yu Ming thinks Lu Wei still has certain acting skills, but if you want to control this role, it is still a bit weak. The role of Li Yun is actually very outstanding. First of all, as a soccer, Li Yun is versatile and graceful, but in fact, Li Yun is constantly disgusted with himself. Because of family reasons, Li Yun has to degenerate from a person with his own ideals and pursuits into a soccer; so when he meets the clean, beautiful, and talented Zhang Runhe, he is unconsciously attracted. In the process of communicating with Zhang Runhe, Li Yun is cautious and a little cowardly. Therefore, what Lu Wei needs to show is also very straightforward and simple, not that Yu Ming wants to show very obscure cowardice.
If Lu Wei wants to show cowardice and self-loathing can be made clear to the audience through body forms and language; then what Yu Ming wants to show is cowardice and cringe that cannot be said or done deeply and obscurely.
Even with such a direct performance, Lu Wei still NG countless times. If Yu Ming was the same, then Lu Wei would be balanced. But Yu Ming always went there once, occasionally filming a few shots because Yu Ming took the initiative to ask for it. What's even more annoying is that Wang Xuecheng always smiled at Yu Ming every time, but he always looked at other actors with a cold face.
Therefore, the more Lu Wei looked at Yu Ming, the more she disliked him. She had to stab Yu Ming two sentences every day. Yu Ming just pretended not to hear it, so she just kept peace.
The entire crew is a newcomer in the movie. Lu Wei is from Huanyu Entertainment. She has previously focused on TV series. She has previously starred in several popular popular dramas and is also a young actress. Zheng Haoming is from Stellar Media and has also focused on TV series before, but she has starred in idol dramas that watch faces. Therefore, from the perspective of popularity, she may be comparable to Lu Wei, or even a little higher; let alone Ji Meng in the end, she only participated in a filming an online drama, but she has a deep background. She heard that her family is a red family, and it is rumored to be dating with the president of Huanyu Entertainment.
It was difficult for TV actors to make movies, and some people could not get into movie roles even if they were in the Best Actress Award. The entertainment industry is so cruel. Every level of leap is difficult. The film industry is more advanced than the TV industry, so it is more difficult to enter. Unless there are two possibilities, one is that the director of the film likes you, the second is that the company promotes you, and the connection capital effect; and Lu Wei and the other two are the second type of "Transferring Love" crew. The two companies invested 10 million yuan in the crew respectively, and the crew is really short of money, so sometimes the director has to compromise for the work.
But Wang Xuecheng also made the decision that the male protagonist who needs acting skills the most must choose himself. The two companies thought about it and took the female protagonist, the second male and third female, and that was enough. Originally, Wang Xuecheng planned to find an acting player in the circle, and this person was supported by himself. He thought he would play in a friendly role, but the one who stepped on the horse actually spoke out loudly, asking for a 10 million extra point, so Wang Xuecheng naturally couldn't agree. Finally, he found a few filmmakers, but the lowest price was 8 million. He had no choice but to be auditioned, but he really found the treasure and the audition was Yu Ming. So Yu Ming was hit by this huge luck, not only because of his good acting skills, but the biggest reason was that he was cheap!
After a while after the afternoon script and preparation for analysis, Yu Ming looked at the time and it was almost time to start dinner, so he got up and put the script and analysis experience in his bag, preparing to go and see today's food.
Old Li, who is in charge of the food truck, is busy directing the apprentice to put the lunch boxes into several piles. If you ask why the lunch boxes should be separated. The entertainment industry is a circle with distinct hierarchies, and the crew's hierarchies are even more distinct. Take the lunch boxes. The lunch boxes of directors and starring the lunch boxes are usually more than 30 yuan, the lunch boxes of supporting roles are more than 20 yuan, and the lunch boxes of general extras and special actors are more than 10 yuan. Therefore, everyone in the entertainment industry wants to climb up, not only a matter of face, but more a matter of treatment.
When Lao Li saw Yu Ming, he enthusiastically said: "Mingming is here, and you are the pot of pork you like to eat today. Come on." Lao Li looked at 19-year-old Yu Ming as if he was looking at his grandson. Lao Li stayed in this crew for eight years. As the saying goes, a flowing actor and a strong crew. After seeing so many actors, he also appreciated it. Most of the actors are in front of others and in the back of others. There are too few actors who are consistent in appearance. And Yu Ming is indeed the few who are consistent in appearance, at least in Lao Li's eyes, without airs and harmless like the older child next door.
So Old Li likes Yu Ming very much and keeps the best lunch box for him every time he starts a meal. This is what Old Li can do.
When Yu Ming heard that there was a pot of pork dumplings, his eyes lit up, and the foodie's attributes were fully exposed. Yu Ming smiled and said, "It's so good, there is actually a pot dumplings?"
Old Li handed Yu Ming the lunch box to Yu Ming, and it happened that Zheng Haoming and Lu Wei's assistant also came to get the lunch box. Zheng Haoming's assistant was a strong middle-aged man named Huang Gou. He followed Zheng Haoming as flattered as his grandson, and was arrogant to other actors without background. Yu Ming hated such people very much, so he never paid much attention to him. This time, Huang Gouyi reached out and "accidentally" knocked over the lunch box that Yu Ming had not had time to put away. The bright pot of meat and other foods were knocked over to the ground.
Lu Wei's assistant Su Cheng likes Yu Ming very much, but his ancestors don't like it, so after thinking about it, Su Cheng still didn't speak for Yu Ming.
Huang Gou said carelessly, "I'm sorry, I didn't see it."
Yu Ming raised his beautiful eyebrows, and his smile became deeper, but there was no warmth in his clear and dark eyes: "It's okay, just a box of lunch boxes." He turned to look at Old Li and said, "Uncle Li, you can do it first." After that, he picked up a tissue and wiped his hands, then turned around and left neatly.
Su Cheng looked at Yu Ming's back as he left, feeling a little pitiful and distressed Yu Ming's situation, but he had no choice. This is what the entertainment industry is like.
Yu Ming returned to his seat, opened the two-piece set that he had just put into his backpack and looked at it, gradually suppressing the anger in his heart to the minimum until he forgot it for the time being.
Wang Xuecheng, Wang Le and the deputy director were just about to eat the lunch box when they saw Yu Ming watching the script. Wang Xuecheng smiled and asked, "That guy Yu Ming eats so quickly, is he finished?"
Wang Le broke open the chopsticks and replied expressionlessly: "No, I got the lunch box at the first time. Even if I eat it in big mouthfuls, I can't finish it, right? But I heard from Mr. Li that Yu Ming's meal seemed to be knocked over by Zheng Haoming's assistant." After that, he started eating.
