Chapter 154
Another week has passed in a hurry.
At this time, the filming of the movie has come to an end.
What we filmed today is the ending of the movie.
It is after Cheng Yong, played by Xu Zheng, was arrested and sentenced.
Thousands of leukemia patients took the initiative to see Cheng Yong off.
There is no line, no crying, and no extra movements in this scene.
But all emotions need to be conveyed through eyes.
This is a piece of cake for veteran actors or professional actors.
But for many extras, it is very difficult.
At this time…
Su Mo held a loud speaker and stood in front of the extras, talking about the script:
“When you take off your mask, you should neither be too fast nor too slow!”
“Your eyes should show admiration, reluctance, and gratitude!”
“If you perform well, each of you will get a 200 yuan red envelope!”
“Let’s try to pass it in one take, okay!”
When the extras heard that Su Mo was going to give 200 yuan in red envelopes, they immediately became excited: “Okay! We will listen to Director Su!”
After arranging the extras, Su Mo came to Xu Zheng:
“This scene is a test of your acting skills.”
“When you are sitting in the police car and see your fellow patients through the window, they take the initiative to see you off.”
“Your psychological activities at this time must be conveyed through your expressions and eyes.”
“You should go from shock to sadness, pain, and finally to relief. Do you understand?”
Listening to Su Mo talking about the script, Xu Zheng nodded continuously.
During this period, after seeing Su Mo’s understanding of the role and his ability to control the scene.
Xu Zheng was completely impressed by the talent of this new director.
If “Dying to Survive” is indeed original.
Xu Zheng even suspected that Su Mo had seen it somewhere before, or even filmed it.
Otherwise, how did Su Mo do it so skillfully?
For this…
Xu Zheng could only attribute it to talent.
“Director Su, seeing so many patients take the initiative to see me off, should I show some happiness?”
“No!” Su Mo shook his head and refused.
“Your mentality at this time is to save people and think about the patients.”
“You have been arrested and imprisoned, and these patients have no cheap medicine to eat. How can you show happiness?”
After hearing Su Mo’s explanation, Xu Zheng suddenly realized and slapped his forehead.
…
“All departments get ready!”
“Extras stop chatting!”
“3-2-1 start!”
In front of the camera, a police car drove up.
Cheng Yong, wearing handcuffs and a prisoner vest.
Sitting in the police car with his head down.
“Drive slower.”
The two policemen who were driving seemed to have seen something that surprised them.
The sudden deceleration of the car made Cheng Yong a little unsteady.
After reacting, he looked out the window in confusion.
The next second!
Cheng Yong opened his mouth slightly, and his eyes showed a look of shock.
The camera turned.
I saw that the road outside the car window was full of people.
These people were old and young, all wearing masks.
At this time, the eyes of the people were silently watching Cheng Yong in the car.
Slowly, these leukemia patients took off their masks…
Cheng Yong in the car gradually had red eyes.
At this time!
Cheng Yong saw Sihui, Pastor Liu, and many acquaintances.
He even saw Lv Shouyi, who had died of illness, and Huangmao, who had a car accident.
He also stood in the crowd to see him off.
These are all people who have been saved by Cheng Yong.
Seeing this…
Cheng Yong turned his back and hid in the car.
The tears that had been held back for a long time slowly slid down…
“Cut!”
“The last look of relief was not conveyed!”
“Do it again!”
Su Mo, who was sitting in front of the monitor, shouted at the intercom.
Five minutes later…
“The look is too empty!”
“Do it again!”
Five minutes later…
“Fuck!”
Su Mo, who was sitting in front of the monitor, slammed the table angrily:
“The extra in the hat, who told you to answer the phone!”
“Go to the finance department to get your salary, and get out of here immediately!”
Seeing that this flawless shot was about to be completed, it was exposed at the last minute.
Not only was Su Mo furious, but the assistant director was also so angry that he cursed!
It was because that guy answered the phone that all the hard work of everyone in this shot would be wasted.
This kind of low-level mistake that should not be made often occurs in the crew.
.
And this is also the case for even the best-tempered directors.
In the end, they will be tortured into tyrants on the set.
In the end, the tempers are more and more irritable, and the insults are more and more unpleasant.
The main reason is that you don’t get angry.
You have no temper.
You respect people.
Then, a group of experienced actors think you are easy to bully.
In order to get an extra day’s salary, they deliberately do bad things to you.
For such black sheep, Su Mo has always been merciless to let them go.
“Everyone get ready!”
“Do it again!”
“Finish this shot as soon as possible!”
After Su Mo adjusted his mentality, he sat in front of the monitor and shouted at the intercom.
After reshooting three times, Su Mo achieved the effect that he was satisfied with.
This shot was finally passed.
The last scene was much simpler.
It was three years later, when Cheng Yong was released from prison.
On the way back, Cheng Yong passed by his brother-in-law Cao Bin.
After learning that the genuine version would be included in the medical insurance, he smiled with relief…
After shooting this scene, the movie was completely finished!
…
Standing in front of the table with flowers and cakes.
Under the gaze of everyone, Su Mo laughed and said loudly:
“I declare!”
“The movie “Dying to Survive” is finished!”
“Good luck with the completion!”
“I wish Director Su a big box office success and a long way to go!”
The staff and actors on the scene cheered happily!
In the past month, everyone was exhausted from working overtime day and night.
As a new director, Su Mo maintained a meticulous style from beginning to end.
He was very strict with every actor and every shot.
If there was any mistake, it had to be reshot.
It was this rigorous approach that won the respect of these veteran actors.
“Director Su, thank you!”
Tan Zhuo stepped forward with a charming manner and gave Su Mo a big hug.
The six guards’ eyelids twitched, but they did not stop him.
The fragrance filled the air, and Tan Zhuo’s full and soft body entered his arms.
Su Mo, who had been holding it in for more than half a month, felt a heat rising in his lower abdomen.
Seeing Xu Zheng open his arms, Su Mo smiled and stretched out his hand and teased:
“You men, don’t hug me, just shake hands!”
“Haha! Director Su is so kind!”
Zhang Yu, who played Huang Mao, had red eyes and said with gratitude:
“Director Su, thank you!”
“Thank you for your appreciation, thank you for giving us young actors a chance!”
Huang Mao’s heartfelt words made many actors choke up in their throats.
Everyone knows that when casting for “Dying to Survive”.
Not only top stars like Lu Han were eliminated.
Even many movie emperors and actresses did not have the opportunity to participate.
Just like Tan Zhuo, she never dreamed that.
She, an unknown little actor, actually got the leading role.
He competed with Liu Yifei, Zhao Liying, Li Bingbing, Liu Shishi… these first-line actresses.
Even Reba, who has a close relationship with him, was not allowed to play.
Therefore, Su Mo really did not look at the actor’s status, but only looked at whether the actor was suitable for the role.
For such a pure director, these actors are all grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
And the next, the most important thing.
It is to see how much the box office of “Dying to Survive” can sell!
The market is the only criterion for testing the truth!
Although the actors all think that the movie “Dying to Survive” is really great!
But whether it is good or not in the end, it will be left to the audience to test!
After the wrap-up banquet, Su Mo called Yang Mi:
“Sister Mi, prepare to help me arrange the release of the movie.”
“Remember, it should be scheduled in the same schedule as “Fortress of the Magic City”!”
