Chapter 81 A stroke of genius
Before the performance, Shen Lang first opened the script to familiarize himself with the plot again.
When it comes to auditioning, you can’t just focus on the plot of this scene.
Because you have to put yourself into the context of the script and the character's personality traits, so that you can bring the character to life, rather than having your acting be disconnected scene by scene.
The plot of "Black Gold" is actually not complicated.
Fang Guohui, the head of the Investigation Bureau's mobile team, is a capable man who hates evil. When he and his men were filming the video game arcade run by Zhou Chaoxian, they got evidence that he was running an underground casino and brought him to court.
Unexpectedly, the judge was bribed and Zhou Chaoxian was acquitted and released in court.
Minister Hou, who was connected with the black money, secretly put pressure on the Investigation Bureau, and ordered Fang Guohui to take a leave and stop investigating Zhou Chaoxian.
In order to further control Taiwan's politics, Zhou Chaoxian publicly announced at a press conference that he would quit the party and run for legislator, intending to oppose the gangster boss Ding Zongshu who was running on behalf of the party.
When Fang Guohui was depressed, he was encouraged by the TV reporter Ling Fei and Minister Feng of the Ministry of Justice to return to work, but he was targeted by Ding Zongshu, who wanted to kill him and then frame Zhou Chaoxian, killing two birds with one stone...
The scene that Mai Xiongxiong asked Shen Lang to audition today was the scene where Zhou Chaoxian was sued in court and bribed the judge.
There was no money transaction in this scene. Zhou Chao first called the black judge to his manor and invited two blind foot massage masters to help them do foot massage...
Mai Xiongxiong had already made plans in his mind. When Shen Lang notified him that he could audition, he was already prepared to play the supporting role and was waiting for him to officially begin.
Before the audition, when Shen Lang was getting familiar with the props, the crew members saw him carefully checking each prop and they all started whispering.
A staff member saw this scene and sighed: "I didn't expect this teacher Shen to be so professional at work! Many celebrities nowadays are not so careful. They even check and familiarize themselves with the props one by one!"
Another said disdainfully: "What's that? Don't think he's pretending. I actually think he's stalling for time!"
"Delaying time!" Everyone was puzzled. "He's a veteran actor. He's not as bad as you say, right?"
The man jokingly said, "What do you know? The roles he played before were completely different from Zhou Chaoxian."
"Who is Zhou Chaoxian? A gangster boss, he is domineering and arrogant! Look at Shen Lang's previous roles, either he was a domestic violence man or a swindler. Recently, "Crazy Stone" was released, and the black guy was a gangster!"
"You've all read the script. It's not that easy to play Zhou Chaoxian well!"
One of them asked in confusion: "Then why do you say he is stalling for time?"
"I'm being pushed into doing something I'm not sure about, so I'm just procrastinating to get the hang of it. I've met so many stars like this before. They either take a long time to put on makeup, or they want to drink milk tea and eat barbecued pork before acting. In short, they have all kinds of excuses and reasons!"
"Is that so? Brother Ma is a senior lighting engineer who has worked for 30 years. Listening to your words is better than a speech!"
"roll……"
When Shen Lang was checking the props, Mai Xiongxiong asked in confusion: "Teacher Shen, is there something wrong with these props?"
Shen Lang touched his chin and said, "Director Mai, can you ask the colleagues in the props group to help buy some walnuts?"
"Walnut?" Mai Xiongxiong looked at Shen Lang in confusion.
"The kind of walnuts we eat!" Shen Lang didn't explain much.
Mai Xiongxiong glanced at him and thought that Shen Lang had some weird habit of eating walnuts while filming.
So he shouted towards the crowd, "Props, go out and buy five pounds of walnuts!"
The props man whispered to the lighting engineer, "Damn, Ma Ge was right. This guy is so nosy. Why is he buying walnuts at this stall?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lang shouted at him: "Brother, bring a nutcracker with you!"
Dao Ji waved his hand and said with a warm smile: "No problem, Mr. Shen, leave it to me!" Shen Lang turned his gaze back and said to Brother Ma: "Fuck, there are so many requirements. It's annoying! Let's go!"
Half an hour later, just when the people in the crew were getting impatient, the props finally came back with walnuts!
"Director, these are the walnuts you requested!"
"Teacher Shen, hey, this is a stainless steel nutcracker that I picked especially for you!"
Shen Lang took out two hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and put them in the prop's hand: "Thank you for your hard work. I won't pay you for the clips. Consider these as tea money for my brother!"
The prop was stunned when he heard that, then said happily: "Teacher Shen, look, how polite you are!"
When he returned to the crowd, Brother Ma complained again: "Damn, we must work overtime today to wait for Mr. Shen!"
He thought that this would resonate with the props, but who knew that the props looked at Ma Ge with disdain: "What's wrong with working overtime? Wait, what's wrong with Teacher Shen? You just complain too much!"
Ma Ge was stunned: "You...I...fuck..."
"Three, two, one, Action!"
The black judge's hands wandered dishonestly on the woman's body, making her scream "ah ah": "hate, hate"
The camera is pointed at the black judge: "It hurts, ah, ah, be gentler, be gentler..."
The black judge was twisting and turning on the sofa in pain as the masseur pressed his acupoints. Even so, he did not forget to take advantage of the woman next to him.
For a moment, the studio was filled with the moans of men and women!
At this time, the camera moved slowly, and the next second, Zhou Chaoxian, played by Shen Lang, sat on the sofa with a grim face and did not move.
In front of him, a blind man was massaging his feet, using his hands that were as powerful as an electric drill to attack the kidney points on the soles of his feet.
Shen Lang had Liuwei Dihuang Pills protecting his body, so no matter how fierce the electric drill was, he actually didn't feel anything at all. But at this moment, his lips trembled slightly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he forced himself to turn the walnut in his hand.
Outside the screen, the judge and the woman's moans continued, but Zhou Chaoxian in the screen had his eyebrows drooped, his eyes slightly closed as he was pressed in the painful area.
Seeing that the person he was serving did not respond, the blind masseur seemed somewhat unconvinced, so he increased the strength of his knuckles again and pressed hard on the soles of Zhou Chaoxian's feet.
Mai Xiongxiong said: "Give Zhou Chaoxian a close-up of his face."
As soon as he finished speaking, the camera moved forward and Zhou Chaoxian's eyes slowly opened on his "calm" face. He looked at the blind masseur in front of him. His left eye was slightly closed, and a fierce light shot out from his left eye.
"Click!" A crisp sound was heard, and Mai Xiongxiong's eyes lit up. He said to the photographer, "Quickly give Teacher Shen a close-up of his hands!"
At this time, Shen Lang loosened his hands slightly, and a pair of hard walnuts had already broken into pieces in his hands.
Everyone was shocked. It turned out that Shen Lang checked the props not to delay time, and bought the walnuts not to eat them.
He...was meant to portray the character Zhou Chaoxian.
“Those who achieve great things can endure!”
"Amazing! Using a pair of small walnuts, he brought the line in the script, 'Zhou Chaoxian felt great pain, but endured it,' to life!"
"Actors like Shen Lang have gone beyond the realm of acting. Every move he makes feels incredibly real!"
Mai Xiongxiong excitedly said to the people around him: "I found it, I found it. Teacher Shen's eyes, that calm look with a storm hidden beneath it, that's Zhou Chaoxian! And, and, that pair of walnuts! A stroke of genius, a stroke of genius!"
I'll try to add one more chapter!
But it should be very late, so don’t refresh and wait!
I ask my family members to follow the updates every day. Whether I can be recommended for the fourth round depends on your follow-up!
Dear brothers and sisters, please send me monthly tickets!
Come, the foot masseur has arranged for everyone to attack your S reflex zone!
