[R18] I only like your personality [Entertainment Circle] – “I Only Like Your Character [Entertainment Circle]” Chapter 69 [English]
byChapter 69 The Beauty of Creation
With a click of the board, Zhou Ziheng, who was facing the two machines, immediately entered into a state. This was something Xia Xiqing had never seen before.
He slammed the iron security door with his hand, and without saying a word, he slapped hard. He clenched his back teeth and lowered his eyes. The banging of the iron door made Xia Xiqing, who was standing in the corridor and watching, suddenly enter the mood.
“Who is it? Is he, mother, sick…” The door inside the security door opened, and through the iron fence, Aaron could be seen rubbing his eyes. His withered hair looked like a ball of grass in late autumn. When he saw Zhou Ziheng, he frowned, with an expression of disgust on his face, “You, mother, must be mentally ill. Come here and make trouble with me, do you still want to make money? Huh?”
Gao Kun clenched his hands into fists, pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes were still half lowered.
“What are you talking about? Your mommy is mute after taking blood!” Aaron scratched his head and put his hand on the door to close the door. “I paid all the money for you. Young mommy is here to make trouble…”
There was a loud bang.Gao Kun’s fist hit the iron door hard. He was like a beast in a zoo for everyone to watch. He was furious through the railing and his eyes were red.
“Your mother… you…” Anger made his voice hoarse, “It’s all because of your syringes…”
Aaron was startled by he. He felt a little weak but still pretended to be strong. After all, this Gao Kun was just a blood bag of he. There was nothing to be afraid of when he was so poor that he could only sell his blood.
“What are you guys? I think you’re crazy poor.”
“I have AIDS.” Gao Kun suddenly said, “AIDS! Do you know? AIDS!”
In the first sentence, he spoke extremely calmly, as if he was not the one who was sick. However, this calmness did not last for a few seconds. He kept hitting the iron door with his fist, as if he could be rescued by breaking it open, and his whole body trembled.
Aaron suddenly froze on the spot.No words were spoken for a long time.
Xia Xiqing, who was standing by, was fascinated, but Aaron remained silent, then took two steps back and swallowed. Gao Kun slammed the door twice more, grabbed the railing viciously and said like an evil ghost, “It’s all you, it’s all you who made me become like this! I’m going to kill you! Open the door!”
Xia Xiqing’s eyes fell on Aaron, something was wrong.
Acting wrong.Gao Kun was obviously coming to the rescue just now.
“Cut! Aaron forgot his words, what’s going on?” Director Kun called out with the walkie-talkie, “Aaron, adjust it, just in time for us to take a close-up of Gao Kun’s side. It’s okay, go through it twice first. Don’t be stressed, Aaron.”
Yang Bo had an apologetic and remorseful expression on his face. He bent down and apologized to the staff again and again, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was really scared by Zi Heng just now.”
Xia Xiqing couldn’t help but laugh. Zhou Ziheng’s ability to enter the scene in one second was so deep that he was worthy of being a child who grew up on the set. Anyone would be frightened by this aura.
The makeup artist quickly stepped forward to wipe Zhou Ziheng’s sweat. Zhou Ziheng asked Yang Bo to open the door and talk to him about the scene. The two of them exchanged views on each other’s characters’ moods in this scene.
“It’s okay.” Zhou Ziheng patted he on the shoulder, “It’s really not easy to act in a conflict scene when you first come on. I did the same at the beginning. I’ll get better slowly.”
Yang Bo was very grateful. Due to his appearance and personality, Zhou Ziheng has always been a strong and somewhat indifferent type in the eyes of unfamiliar people. However, after meeting him this time, he discovered that this is not the case at all. Not only is he not indifferent, he is also very gentle and patient.
“Are you ready? Here’s another one. This time, take a close-up of Gao Kun. Gao Kun pays attention to the machine.” Director Kun looked at Yang Bo. “Aaron first stands behind the photographer and takes a look. He won’t be scared after watching a few more times.”
“Am I that scary?” Zhou Ziheng joked. Everyone on the set laughed, and Yang Bo’s nervousness also improved a lot.
It’s scary when you’re angry.Xia Xiqing stood not far behind he, thinking of the night he was drugged.
“The first scene of “Stalking”, the second shot, the first time, action!”
Starting over, Yang Bo stood behind the close-up photographer, carefully observing Zhou Ziheng’s performance this time, and at the same time using his voice to play against he. The close-up shot showed a complete Aaron’s perspective. Zhou Ziheng’s handling of Gao Kun’s emotions was more full than the last time. From being a little dazed at the beginning, to getting more and more angry, to pain and unwillingness to admit helplessness, every emotional point was taken over very smoothly.He’s red eyes seemed to be filled with tears, but they didn’t seem to be.
“Get out! I’m going to kill you!” Gao Kun hit and kicked him, and even picked up an old mop that had been discarded in the corner and slammed it on the door. “Come out! Get out! My mother must let you be buried with me!” The long pole in his hand swung at the iron door again and again. As time went by, the intensity of he smashing the door gradually decreased, and finally he paused in mid-air.
He lowered his head and clenched his teeth, causing the muscles on the side of his cheek to tremble. The fingers holding the mop were trembling, but he tried hard to restrain them from trembling.
“I am nineteen years old this year…”
Xia Xiqing’s heart tightened.This line is so uncomfortable.
Aaron’s voice appeared: “This…this…are you kidding me, I, I don’t know anything, don’t rely on me! Don’t rely on me, I gave you your money, you go find someone else to go crazy!”
“Who am I looking for!?” Gao Kun threw himself at the iron door again, “Who am I looking for!”
Aaron’s voice was shaking like chaff, “I, I, I don’t know! Whoever passed it on to you, who do you go to… Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner. I don’t have AIDS, so don’t go to me!”
Gao Kun was shaking with anger. His hands just wanted to claw through the gauze on the iron railing, go through and pull this man out. He now wanted to peel off his skin and drink his blood, “Come out… come out! I want your life! I want your life!”
“Cut!” Director Kun shouted and stopped, “Very good, Gao Kunte has written it. The next scene is for Aaron. Aaron’s lines just now feel right. There must be that feeling of panic, fear and wanting to shirk responsibility.”
Yang Bo nodded twice.Zhou Ziheng was patted on the shoulder by the makeup artist, and he turned around and lowered himself to let her wipe off her sweat and put on makeup. In order to fit the character better, he specially asked the makeup artist to use dark foundation for makeup. There were also traces of sunburn and wear on his shoulders. However, the summer in Wuhan is so hot that people start to sweat even if they move a little. Needless to say, Zhou Ziheng performed so hard.
He, who was waiting for his makeup to be touched up, looked away and met Xia Xiqing, who was observing and studying not far away. He, who had never known Xia Xiqing was there, could hardly hide the surprise on his face, and the corners of his mouth raised in an instant.
Xia Xiqing also smiled at he.This person’s emotions change so quickly when he is acting. He has the most natural skills of concealing and covering his emotions, but in private he is so sincere that all his emotions are so obvious.
Time was very tight, so Zhou Ziheng started the third part immediately after finishing his make-up. During the first time, Aaron’s emotional transition was still a bit stiff, especially the moment after he learned that Gao Kun was infected.
“Your panic and fear are two separate emotions. This is wrong. Your current state is that I can’t believe that he is really infected with AIDS, but on the other hand, I am scared. I am not only scared by him, but also by the disease.” Director Kun patiently explained the drama to Yang Bo, and started again after he fully understood the erotic emotions of the character.Director Kun, who was a little picky about the film, took six takes before it was approved.
“Sorry, sorry.” Yang Bo came out of the house and glanced outside the corridor. Fortunately, the sun had not set yet. “I wasted everyone’s time.”
“It’s okay.” Zhou Ziheng smiled at him, “As a newcomer, you are already very good.”
“Ziheng, you know this is my first movie?” Yang Bo was a little surprised. He originally thought that he would never attract the attention of a popular male star like Zhou Ziheng because of his small celebrity status. This even made him a little flattered.
“When I first got the cast list, I checked everyone’s information, because not every time I act, I will be paired with someone I know, so it’s better to get to know each other beforehand.” There was a drop of sweat on the forehead, which was noticed by Zhou Ziheng. He looked up and laughed again, “I think you are very good. It is my first time to act in a movie and I can’t do a conflict scene in the first scene.”
Yang Bo now almost regards Zhou Ziheng as his idol, even though this person is only twenty years old and younger than him.
he finally understands why so many people like Zhou Ziheng.
Xia Xiqing came over, took one look at the expression on Zhou Ziheng’s face and immediately understood, and praised he sincerely and sincerely, “What a great performance.” Zhou Ziheng was very happy when he heard this, but couldn’t find a decent way to express it, so he had to purse his lips and smile, and said to Xia Xiqing, “Can you buy me a popsicle?”
“Go to Xiao Luo, I’m not your assistant.” Xia Xiqing glanced at him and said, “Why are you eating ice cream? You are a three-year-old child.”
Every time these two people get together, Yang Bo feels that there is a natural barrier separating him and them, automatically turning into a background where he can only see and not talk, and he can’t wait to blow pink bubbles on their heads.
Oh my god, is he taking CP?Yang Bo woke up with a start.
No wonder he and I have so many CP fans…
Quickly and slowly, we changed scenes before the sunset. The scene of this scene was a small alley at the back door of a hotel. After laying the slide rails, Director Kun briefly talked about the scene, because Xia Xiqing is a newcomer after all, and the role of Jiang Tong is an inward-looking character.
It is more difficult to act with inward emotions than outward ones. If you are not careful, it will cause facial paralysis, which will break away from the character itself and make people jump out of the scene.
“Are you ready?”
Xia Xiqing, who was standing at the back door of the hotel, nodded. After the sound of the slap, he naturally carried two large bags full of garbage and walked out of the door to the back alley. He opened the lid of the dark green trash can, picked up the garbage bags and stuffed them in. His hands were dirty. He looked at them, but there was nowhere to wipe them. He walked slowly to a small faucet in the back alley, and after twisting it for a long time, some water came out.
He put his hands under the thin stream of water and carefully washed the dirt on his hands.
Suddenly he felt like his head was hit hard by something. Jiang Tong turned around with a confused expression on his face. The setting sun was shining brightly on his face. Against the light, he saw a few cursing gangsters walking over. The first one had a bottle of beer in his hand. When he saw him, he started to curse, “Mute, you have been avoiding us these days?” After saying that, heThrowing the can in his hand, Jiang Tong was so frightened that he raised his hand to cover his head. The can hit his wrist, and the unfinished beer inside flowed onto his clothes.
He had just finished working in the hotel. He was still wearing the hotel’s white apron and white overalls. They were wide, old and ill-fitting, and now they were stained.
Jiang Tong’s mouth moved but he said nothing.
Several people came up and surrounded him, “Where’s the money? Hand it over consciously and I won’t beat you today.”
Jiang Tong made signs in panic, and the leader kicked him in the stomach, “Sign to your mother! Speak!”
“No, no money…” Jiang Tong clutched his stomach and threw himself against the wall. He put his hand into his pocket and pulled it clean. He frowned and looked at them, “No, no…”
“No? I think you just deserve a spanking!”
“Cut!” Director Kun shouted, “Jiang Tong’s expression is wrong. It’s too hard. You should be scared at this time.”
Xia Xiqing stood up from the corner. The kick he just kicked in the stomach was just a borrowed position. He had always been worried that he would be NGed because of his unnatural acting in this place, but he didn’t expect it to be because of his expression.
“Jiang Tong has been bullied by these gangsters for collecting protection money for a long time. He should be used to being afraid when he sees them. You acted too calmly just now.” Director Kun is a rare good-tempered director. “It’s okay. Let’s do another one. Xi Qing, relax a little and assume the role of Jiang Tong.”
Everyone was preparing the next item, but Xia Xiqing said, “Director Kun, I feel something is wrong.”
Even the man next to him who was playing the role of the gangster winked. In China, most movies are director-centered. The director is more important than anything else on the set. Many actors have had their scenes cut because they offended the director, or even ruined their entire careers. Therefore, they will hardly argue with the director’s suggestions on the set.
But Xia Xiqing doesn’t plan to act in many dramas, and he doesn’t worry about offending anyone.
“Jiang Tong’s character is not weak and timid. If he were, he would have died a long time ago. His father gambled and beat him and his mother to death when they were young. His mother was also a prostitute. She picked up customers at home to make a living, and was even beaten to death in the end. He has been working alone to support himself until now. If such an experience were placed on anyone, he would have committed suicide long ago.”
Xia Xiqing’s tone was calm, but Zhou Ziheng’s heart hurt inexplicably.
“He is not afraid, but he has no ability to resist, so he can only bear it. As you said, Jiang Tong has been bullied by these gangsters for a long time and has become accustomed to this kind of life. If he is accustomed to accepting harm, it may be more realistic to act as if he is devastated.”
No one from the staff on the set, including lighting, photography, stage management, and waiting actors, expressed an opinion. Everyone knew that Kuncheng was a director with a good personality, and they knew even more that he was a stubborn director.
“I agree too.” Zhou Ziheng’s voice broke the silence, “In fact, Jiang Tong is braver than Gao Kun. It is Gao Kun who is really afraid, not Jiang Tong, who looks weaker.”
Director Kun stared at the ground solemnly, frowning tightly. After a while, he stood up, looked at the sky, and then looked at the determined expression on Xia Xiqing’s face. At this moment, he really felt that the person standing in front of him was not Xia Xiqing, but the real Jiang Tong.
“I give up.” Kuncheng shrugged his shoulders and grabbed a handful of hair on the back of his head with a smile. “The Jiang Tong you mentioned is closer to this character. Very good, very good.”
A fire suddenly lit up in his heart. How he hoped that this drama could fully present its essence under his direction and let the audience see it.
“Yes, that’s how it was shot.” Kuncheng repeated excitedly, “That’s how it was shot!”
Xia Xiqing also raised the corners of his mouth, and the expression on Kuncheng’s face was all too familiar to him.
That is the supreme desire for artistic creation.
