Chapter 235 Why did I lie to you?
The other three actors, carrying their autographs and luggage, were sent directly to a small hotel near the mine.
Only Wang Baoqiang looked confused and bewildered.
"How is it?" Shen Lang looked at Shen Nan and Wang Shuangbao.
Wang Shuangbao was the first to express his opinion: "Hey, it looks silly, not bad!"
Shen Nan also nodded: "The image fits, and the shy personality is also suitable. He really fits the image of Yuan Fengming's character in my mind, even more suitable than the previous one!"
Shen Lang smiled and said, "So, a blessing in disguise. Director Shen, tomorrow is up to you!"
"Just follow it!" Well, he has just arrived in Shanxi Province and it has only been two days, but he has already learned the local dialect. Director Shen is pretty good!
...I went down the well the next day, and this time nothing unexpected happened.
In the dim mine, Mine Manager Liu personally told everyone where the filming location was and that they were not allowed to go anywhere else.
When you hear the bell, everyone must gather and return to the ground.
Everyone listened very carefully and did not dare to be careless at all.
Although there aren't too many scenes set in the mine, there are still quite a few. If something goes wrong during filming, no one can take the responsibility.
When they returned to the ground, Shen Lang and the others had inadvertently turned as black as coal balls. Sweat dripped from their scalps, making their faces look clown-like.
The next morning, the first scene officially began filming.
As soon as he arrived at the crew early in the morning, Shen Lang greeted the actors and staff in the crew enthusiastically.
Compared with his colleague Wang Shuangbao, Shen Lang still relies on his appearance to become the target of everyone's response.
After all...the lesser of two evils, right?
Although Shen Lang has played many villains, he is a kind person in real life. Those who have gotten to know him well enough these days have gradually begun to like bragging and joking with Shen Lang.
But Wang Shuangbao can't do it.
He stood in front of the crowd with his slanted eyes, and everyone avoided him before he said anything.
Shen Nan smiled and said, "San'er, with Teacher Wang here, you finally don't have to be the number one villain in the crew."
Wang Shuangbao seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of treatment, and said self-deprecatingly: "It's good this way, at least I won't be bullied when I go out!"
Speaking of Wang Shuangbao, he is also an exiled weirdo.
He worked as a martial artist in a drama troupe since he was a child, and later made his debut with the movie "12.1 Shooting Case".
After playing the role of Dong Lei in the film, every time he walked on the street, he could always hear people pointing and talking behind his back: "Isn't this coward a murderer? Why is he still wandering around the street?"
When Wang Shuangbao walked through the playground in his neighborhood, the parents around him would unconsciously pull their children behind them, as if his eyes could threaten the weak children.
After much difficulty, he got a few advertising endorsements, but once the ads were aired, they were immediately met with strong doubts from the audience, and he didn't even get the endorsement fees.
After learning about his experience, Shen Lang felt much more balanced.
No matter what, he still has a lot of C-product manufacturers crying and begging him to endorse them. This guy...
Bah, it seems like there’s nothing for me to be proud of?
……
"Act One, Begin!"
As Shen Nan's excited voice rang out, the doors of the abandoned adobe houses rented in the mine in the first act opened one after another, and men with greasy hair sticking to their scalps and who had not taken a shower for a long time walked out of the low rooms wearing a variety of cotton-padded jackets.
Shen Nan turned around and gave Li Qiu a thumbs up, saying, "Teacher Li, my brother said that Quan Huaguo, you wear this kind of makeup, and it turned out to be true. Look at them, each one is so real!"
Li Qiu said embarrassedly: "I really want to thank Teacher Shen and Director Shen, I have received a big job!"
Shen Nan smiled and turned to look at the cameras: "Pay attention, capture close-ups of Tang and Song's faces!"
"Very good, Group Two, follow up, back view!"
"Very good, a set of shots, cut to the long shot, shooting the scene of miners coming from all directions to the foreman's cabin."
After the first scene, Shen Nan said to Shen Lang who was watching the monitor, "Very good, the video of the three people smoking, you and Teacher Wang performed very well, the actor who played Master Yuan also performed very well, especially the greedy puffs of cigarettes, very good!"
The first pass was a good sign. Shen Nan struck while the iron was hot and said, "Act 2, go down the well!"
This scene tells the story of Tang and Song taking a man named Yuan underground and killing him.
The first part of the play "Blind Well" tells the whole process of Tang and Song committing the crime.
How they tricked people into working in the mine, how they killed people underground, how they negotiated with the mine owner, and finally how they were carefree after getting the money. In other words, the first part can be divided into four sections: tricking - killing people underground - asking for money - being carefree!
The script simply skipped the coaxing stage and jumped directly to the dialogue before the murder.
Downhole.
Under the dim light overhead, Wang Shuangbao, Shen Lang and the extra sat down to rest.
Wang Shuangbao picked up the old military water bottle, unscrewed the lid and took a sip of water.
Shen Lang and the extra wiped the sweat from their faces.
"Well, have a drink of water too!" Wang Shuangbao handed the kettle to the extras.
After taking a sip, the extras lowered their heads.
Shen Lang looked at him and asked under Wang Shuangbao's mining lamp, who was facing the camera: "What's wrong? Are you missing home?"
"I miss my baby!" said the extras.
At this moment, Shen Lang's advanced villain acting skills flashed in his mind, and his whole aura was fully open.
In the mine, everyone who originally felt extremely stuffy suddenly felt that the temperature around them dropped by several degrees.
Shen Lang smiled and pushed the extras' heads: "Go play ball, you miss your baby's mother!"
On the monitor, Wang Shuangbao looked at the two of them with a smile but did not speak.
"What does your wife look like?" Shen Lang continued.
The extras smiled shyly: "It's not good-looking, it has a big mouth!"
"Hey~ People say that women with big mouths are more likely to do something bad in bed! Now that you're out here, aren't you afraid that your wife will sleep with someone else?"
Seeing this, all the staff laughed.
This is Shen Lang’s acting skills. He can play the high-ranking Wu Jingzhong, and also the lower-class people who speak dirty jokes.
"Teacher Shen is really amazing. What he said is just like what the uncles and uncles used to say when I was a kid in the countryside while enjoying the cool breeze and bragging!"
The safety officer in charge of the crew going down to the mine also sighed repeatedly: "Teacher Shen's appearance, accent, and words are exactly the same as our miners! If he weren't an actor, I would have thought he was a miner when I turned off the lights!"
"By the way, what's up with Mr. Shen's accent?"
"He just pulled a fellow from the mine to learn it a few days ago! It's only been a few days, who wouldn't believe that he came from Henan Province?"
"Look, after hearing what Teacher Shen said, Teacher Wang Shuangbao smiled so kindly!"
"Fuck, if you hadn't told me I wouldn't have noticed that although Teacher Wang still looks fierce, he actually looks kind when he smiles!"
While everyone was talking, Wang Shuangbao moved.
He stood up, picked up a pickaxe, and sat back next to the two of them.
Song Jinming, played by Shen Lang, then said with a smile: "Hey, do you want to go home?"
"Why don't you want to go home..."
Tang Chaoyang: "I'll send you home today? What do you think?"
"What day is it today? I haven't paid you yet!"
"Really!"
"You lied to me!"
Hearing this, everyone who had read the script began to tremble nervously.
Shen Lang picked up another pickaxe and said with a smile: "Why would I lie to you? Look..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the honest extras looked at Shen Lang in a daze and then fell down.
The mine was silent, and everyone's breathing seemed to have stopped at this moment.
He was making dirty jokes to his wife and children just now, and the next second, he hit someone to death with a hammer.
There wasn't even any sign of this, and Shen Lang even had a smile on his face.
In the originally stuffy mine, everyone suddenly felt a little cold.
The kind of coldness that comes from the heart.
