Chapter 335 335. Filming Completed
The theater door opened, and Shu Chang, wearing a black dress with flowers, walked in in a panic.
She whimpered a few times, her eyes trembled, and she was full of fear. She raised her hands slightly, as if she was looking for something, trying to grab something, but the paleness in front of her made her unable to stretch out her hands.
She ran aimlessly, and there were many people around. They looked at Shu Chang strangely, but Shu Chang seemed to not feel it at all, because she only had one thought in her mind, which was to find her child, but the little figure never appeared in her sight. When the last close-up shot of this scene was on Shu Chang's face, a look of despair gradually flowed out of her eyes.
"CUT, it's over." Nie Wei shouted, "The actors will take a half-hour break, and the staff will immediately change the scene."
Nie Wei loudly ordered that the next scene would not be shot in the corridor, but in the large theater next to it. The camera lighting and props all needed to be re-assumed. It would be a good time to let the actors take a break, especially Shu Chang. Although there were dozens of people in the performance just now, it was a one-man show for her artist, and it was all full of inner drama, which was very exhausting.
After instructing the staff to change the scene, Nie Wei called over a stage manager and asked him to tell the group leader to take the group actors not far away to take their seats inside. The next scene was the final scene of "Speeding Scandal", which was also the scene with the largest number of people, with more than a hundred people, and there was no room for carelessness.
After everything was ordered, Nie Wei walked to the place where the actors rested, greeted several old actors, and then rarely went to find Shu Chang, but walked to the little girl Song Zuer next to him.
"Brother, hello." The little girl saw Nie Wei coming over and greeted him politely.
"Hello, too." Nie Wei smiled and touched Song Zuer's mushroom head, and asked with a smile: "Today is the end of the filming. Do you think acting is interesting?" This is the first time Nie Wei asked the little girl this question.
Song Zuer's parents were beside them. When they heard Nie Wei's question, they couldn't help but look at their daughter curiously.
Song Zuer nodded immediately without any hesitation: "Interesting."
"Is it because you don't have to go to class?" Nie Wei said jokingly, and Song Zuer blushed slightly. It is undeniable that this is a major reason, but it is not all.
"No." Song Zuer retorted, but after thinking about it, she may feel that lying is not good, and added: "Not all."
"Okay, brother is joking with you. You like acting. Next time brother makes a movie and there is a role suitable for you, I will find you, okay?" Nie Wei looked at the girl's embarrassed look and immediately changed the subject. Sure enough, the girl smiled happily when she heard that there was still a chance to act.
After finding an excuse to let an actress in the crew look after Song Zuer temporarily, Nie Wei walked aside and chatted with her parents.
"Nie Wei, is my child really suitable for acting?" Joey's mother asked, looking at her daughter who was playing with the actress not far away.
"Very suitable." Nie Wei answered more seriously this time, and gave a detailed analysis: "In terms of her own hardware quality, Song Zuer's conditions are definitely top-notch in the circle. I have never seen a little girl with such a delicate and heroic appearance. If I find a template in the circle, I think Lin Yifei seems to be more suitable for her compared to her little cousin Shu Chang. As for the software aspect of acting, her performance in this play is also very good. Although there are not many shots, she can basically do what I say. For such an understanding at such an age, it can be seen that her acting talent is very good."
"Lin Yifei?" With Nie Wei's praise, Joey's mother was surprised, especially when she compared her child's future to Lin Yifei today, she couldn't help but ask back happily.
After all, Lin Yifei is a big star. Although she doesn't want to admit it, calling her name is even bigger than her own Shu Chang. Thinking that her child will have the opportunity to become a big star like Lin Yifei in the future, Song Zuer's mother couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Nie Wei nodded, followed the mother's words, and affirmed again.
Nie Wei really thought so in his heart. Song Zuer, this little girl, looks cold and beautiful. When she doesn't smile, she really looks like Lin Yifei, and even more heroic. Of course, the extraordinary temperament of Lin Yifei is something that this girl can't learn for the time being. Overall, the two of them are really compatible.
No wonder Nie Wei always jokes that Song Zuer is actually Lin Yifei's cousin, and Shu Chang is jealous of this.
"This... I really didn't expect this child to have this talent." Song Zuer's father also seemed a little excited. Nowadays, if a family has a star, it is definitely something that others envy, especially since they have seen Shu Chang's glory. It would be a lie to say that they don't yearn for her.
"Then I'll have to ask Nie Wei to take care of us Juan Juan in the future."
"It should be."
After talking with Song Zuer's parents, Nie Wei returned directly to the set. When he saw that the arrangement was almost done, he asked the staff to notify the actors to get ready. The final scene was finally about to start shooting.
Sitting in his director's chair, looking at the feedback from the monitor, Nie Wei shouted loudly: "Start shooting."
The crisp sound of the board sounded, and Shu Chang appeared in the camera again with a tear-stained makeup.
"What should I do...what should I do, Dongdong is missing." Shu Chang cried so hard that she choked up as if she couldn't breathe. She held Xu Zheng's suit so tightly that her fingers were pale.
The crowd at the scene made a low discussion at the right time. Among these voices, Shu Chang, who looked flustered, finally said the key word: "Dad."
When Shu Chang called out "Dad" to Xu Zheng, her emotions completely collapsed. She shouted at the top of her lungs that Dongdong was missing, and Xu Zheng in front of her was obviously the last straw she could grab.
Facing such Shu Chang, Xu Zheng wanted to cover up at first, but his expression gradually became silent as Shu Chang called him "Dad".
Nie Wei's attention was also very focused. He kept issuing commands for various shots and directed each camera to pull, push and swing. Whether it was the reaction of the audience below, Shu Chang's emotional outburst or Xu Zheng's silent emotional transformation, he had to shoot it to perfection.
Because as an actor, he knows best that such scenes are the most hurtful to actors, and in this scene, Shu Chang is undoubtedly the one who is hurt the most.
When the camera finally finished shooting the scene where two security guards pulled Shu Chang away, Nie Wei finally shouted "CUT."
At this moment, except for the few actors in the camera of the shooting scene, the staff nearby all looked at Nie Wei, waiting for his next words.
"Finish." Nie Wei said lightly, but it was more powerful than any shouting.
All the staff breathed a sigh of relief with Nie Wei's words, and many people even started to clap their hands to celebrate, but after saying this, Nie Wei rushed directly into the shooting scene and came to Shu Chang's side as soon as possible, one step faster than the assistant who was closer to Shu Chang.
At this time, Shu Chang was still crying non-stop, and Nie Wei had no time to comfort her. He took off his coat and put it on Shu Chang as soon as possible, and then hugged the girl tightly in his arms.
Shu Chang, who was immersed in the role, suddenly felt a warm feeling. Although it came very suddenly and she was not prepared at all, this warmth was very familiar and made her feel very safe.
In an instant, the sadness in her heart disappeared a lot, and was then occupied by an emotion called love.
"Great, you are great, you have worked hard, and I am proud of you." Feeling a big hand patting her back gently from behind, listening to the encouragement of the magnetic voice in her ear, Shu Chang's tight string finally relaxed, followed by full of fatigue. In the warm embrace, she put down all her vigilance and slowly closed her eyes.
The assistant next to her was shocked to see Shu Chang close her eyes like this. She thought Shu Chang had fainted and was about to call for help, but was stopped by Nie Wei.
"It's okay, it's just that the emotional ups and downs are too stressful. Let her sleep for a while." Nie Wei picked up Shu Chang in a princess hug, and then sent Shu Chang directly to the recliner beside her without paying attention to the strange looks around.
After a while, the other actors in the crew came over to express their condolences. Nie Wei gave a brief explanation, which made everyone feel relieved.
"She is a good actor. As a senior, I feel pressured when I act with her." Looking at Shu Chang who was resting on a recliner, Xu Zheng praised.
Nie Wei also came over at this time and hugged several actors present in turn. Nie Wei also thanked the crew members one by one, until he picked up Wu Lei and Song Zuer in one hand, and then called the photographer to take a group photo of the crew members present.
This is Nie Wei's first movie. Although it is a debut, it was filmed very smoothly. There were some twists and turns in the middle, but they were quickly resolved. In the end, everything passed smoothly. Nie Wei couldn't help but feel lucky.
The reason why he said he was lucky was because Nie Wei knew very well that there would be many uncertainties in filming, just like the incident with Cheng Kun when he was filming "The Golden Age", and the incident of him catching a cold and fever and then encountering SARS in "Turn Left, Turn Right", and of course the incident of Xie Tingfeng beating someone in "New Police Story", these were all uncontrollable. Compared with his own "Speeding Scandal", the filming was really smooth.
"Come to the wrap-up banquet later." Nie Wei greeted after taking a group photo.
"Of course I'm going, the director is treating us, and we can have a good meal." A lighting technician responded with a smile.
"You can go, but don't drink, I have to catch a plane tonight." Xu Zheng also agreed with a smile, but he gave a shot of precaution. What he feared most was being urged to drink at the dinner table.
"It's okay, I'll help you block it later." A male actor stood up. He was of a high generation, and few people dared to get him drunk.
The hundreds of extras watching were jealous, not because of the meal, but who they were eating with. As the lowest-level workers in the entertainment industry, they were in the circle, but they seemed to be outside the circle, and they even yearned for big stars more than ordinary people.
Just when the group received the dozens of yuan of wages that had been deducted from the group leader, and everyone was thinking about where to have a meal in the evening, the group leader spoke.
"Director Nie is so kind that he also ordered food for us extras. Come with me later."
This sentence was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. All the extras were dumbfounded at first, and then they were extremely excited. They never thought that Nie Wei had not forgotten them and invited them to the wrap-up banquet.
The group of extras, who were originally in low spirits, suddenly became much more excited, and many of them were even excited and flushed. All they thought about was how to show off to their colleagues who missed this opportunity after eating this meal.
Nie Wei did not feel sorry for the extras, but invited them sincerely. You know, it is early December now, and the temperature in Kyoto is already below zero. However, in order to match the weather in the previous plot, this indoor scene was filmed to reflect the appearance of early autumn, so the extras wore long-sleeved single clothes on the scene.
Moreover, they stood outside for more than an hour. Even after entering the house and turning on the air conditioner in the theater, they were still freezing. The most important thing is that the performance of the extras today made Nie Wei very satisfied. They did not fail in the two key scenes, so it is better to say that it is a reward rather than charity.
There were about 200 people including the extras, crew members and actors. Fortunately, there was a barbecue restaurant large enough nearby. Nie Wei booked all of their evening business hours and filled the restaurant with more than 200 people.
"I wish our "Speeding Scandal" a big hit at the box office. Cheers!!!" Xu Zheng raised his glass and shouted. Soon, there was a response and the sound of clinking glasses rang out. This sentence was very pleasing. Nie Wei also raised his glass and clinked it with him, then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, causing cheers.
"Drink less." Shu Chang secretly put the grilled meat on Nie Wei's plate and whispered.
"It doesn't matter. I'm happy today." Nie Wei smiled and filled himself another glass of wine, but he didn't drink it. Instead, he picked up a piece of grilled meat and put it in his mouth.
"By the way, Director Nie, the Golden Horse Awards will be here soon. Are you ready to win the award?" After eating two bites of the food, a male actor soon asked Nie Wei jokingly.
"Participation is the most important thing." Nie Wei answered flawlessly, but his mind could not help but drift to the distant Taiwan because of this sentence. It was the second Golden Horse Awards. It would be a lie to say that he was not eager to win an award. Nie Wei was not only eager to win an award, but also very confident of winning an award.
Shu Chang, who was standing by, gently held Nie Wei's hand under the table.
Two days later, the Taiwan Airport welcomed hundreds of fans, who gathered on both sides of the aisle, holding a variety of cheering signs in their hands. Security guards were standing by as if they were facing a great enemy, fearing that this group of fans would lose control.
With the landing of the latest flight, the fans' emotions obviously fluctuated. The security guards hurried to maintain order, but they still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of this group of fans. Under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, when a man in a black Armani windbreaker walked out of the exit, the emotions of this group of fans seemed to have reached the peak, accompanied by screams, attracting the attention of countless people at the airport.
