Actors have no vacation

Chapter 116 Dazed

Guan Chen still remembered when he just woke up from the hospital.

The last scene in his memory was a pitch black. He was lying on the execution bed with his eyes closed, smelling the despair in the air of the death-row prisoners who were nostalgic for the world, and died peacefully in a coma.

Like a sleep.Guan Chen woke up in the hospital, regretting that he did not die.

He didn't think it was because of his strange body that he was immune to drugs, so he was used for research.

The first reaction was that Tiaozi played a trick just to force him to confess and bite out the boss.

People who have almost died once will be more attached to life.Guan Chen also used a similar method, first giving a near-death experience to break through the defenses, then providing false human warmth to arouse the survival instinct, and finally renegotiating.

It's just that when the same trick was used on Guan Chen, there was no luck in his heart, only dissatisfaction - he was clearly ready to die, but he wanted to trick you first.If Tiao Zi thinks that letting him die once will make him greedy for life and resent the boss, then he is underestimating him.

Guan Chen decided not to say anything for a while, wishing that the negotiations would break down and he would really die.

He closed his eyes again, gasped for breath, only felt that his whole body was extremely weak, and he didn't know what had been shot into his body.Resent this powerlessness.Guan Chen clenched his fist, trying to judge how much strength he still had.I moved my hand a little, but I didn't feel the restraint of the expected cold handcuffs.Moving his limbs, he was surprised to find that his hands, ankles and wrists were not locked.What does it mean?Aren't you afraid that he will run away?Guan Chen suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head and looked around the ward, there was no note from the guard, and no obvious monitoring.The door of the ward was wide open, and the corridor was noisy, with people coming and going, men, women and children in ordinary clothes.

Suddenly, a possibility came to mind... Perhaps, the boss had fulfilled his promise and made a move to get him out?
Guan Chen's spirit was shaken, and the breath of heart that he let go of saying goodbye to the world and the past before he died was instantly brought back by him.

No no... this may be a trap too.Guan Chen was on guard, and began to think about how to escape from this place.

The ward was a single ward, and he was the only one. There were white clouds floating in the sky outside the window, and he couldn't see other people, so he couldn't tell the floor.The sheet material of the hospital bed feels like high-density cotton cloth, and it is torn to make an escape rope, which can easily bear the weight of an adult.Even if the length is not enough, he escapes to the bottom floor and descends to other floors, and escape is relatively easy.It's just that there are some fruit baskets and flowers piled up on the sofa by the window and on the ground, which may contain tiny surveillance cameras, so be careful.

The nurse walked in and leaned over unsuspecting, ready to give Guan Chen an injection.

Guan Chen, who was dozing off, was worried that the ingredients in the medicine would make him drowsy, so he waited for the nurse to turn around and planned to pull out the needle quietly.

However, when he lowered his head, he saw a frail, thin, clean hand with no calluses or fine scars growing from the sleeve of his hospital gown.

It's not about remembering your own hands.

Guan Chen was at a loss.

……

"stop."

Director Tian stood up from behind the screen, scratched his neck, and stopped talking.

"I'm at a loss." Guan Chen sat cross-legged on the hospital bed, propped one elbow on his knee, and rested his chin on the back of his hand, looking very righteous.

Everyone in the crew was in an uproar, exchanging glances with each other and whispering:
"The progress is too great!"

"Today, I didn't blame other departments...it's not easy!"

"It's just that Brother Chen's tone is a bit off-putting. It sounds like he's blaming Director Tian."

"..."

Guan Chen observed Director Tian's expression.

His sentence [I am at a loss] is not a complaint similar to [I am speechless].Yesterday he could hear clearly through the earphones. Director Tian wanted to see the dazed look of the killer Ding Wu, so he was infinitely NG.

Although this solved Guan Chen's misunderstanding of Tian Dao's professional ability, it also made Guan Chen feel that Tian Dao is naive, with the peculiar twists and turns of middle-aged literary and intellectuals, who likes to waste everyone's time, and his mouth is as rigid as in an audition He couldn't finish the homework assigned to him, so he secretly prepared a strange script of "Red Boy vs. Black Cat Detective" that was not on the topic.

Guan Chen thought to himself, what do you want him to do, just say no?

Ding Wu, who had never thought about playing the killer before, was at a loss because Guan Chen believed that after Ding Wu lost his memory, only his instincts remained, and his body lost the restraint of consciousness, like a wild beast whose actions preceded reactions, like restarting a machine. The machine, the brain unconsciously began to record all the information in front of it, and the influx of a large amount of information may not have time to produce the feeling of being at a loss.

But Tian Dao didn't hesitate to spend the whole day in order to see the killer Ding Wu's bewilderment, and even seemed to continue to toss.So Guan Chen had to prescribe the right medicine and adjust his strategy.

During those half a month, Guan Chen only learned three lessons from Huo Li.

In the first class, actors are taboo to directly express emotions.Emotion is present in acting, but it arises when a character's actions create conflict, a by-product of action.

Therefore, Guan Chen will not directly act out the emotion of "confused".Dazed, out-of-focus eyes, sluggish behavior... these are actions that clearly make the audience think you are dazed.This is a stage one technique, and for Guan Chen who pursues stage three "returning to the basics", it is a low-level and lazy way of acting.

The second lesson: The process of actors performing is actually a process of making a series of [choices].

Like happiness, sadness, and anger, daze has a thousand forms of daze.Performing one of them is tantamount to making a choice.

These choices should be centered on the character, analyze the specified situation, combine the actor's own understanding of human nature, the understanding of the role and the overall artistic style of the film, and then find out the action chain that fits the character among the thousands of choices.

After Guan Chen's eavesdropping ended last night, after handing over the video to the side cameraman, he went back to the room and began to think about what the killer's daze was like.

Killer is a profession that deals with plans and accidents all year round.Like everyone else, a killer has only one life, and unless it is absolutely necessary, no killer will forcefully carry out a mission without adequate preparation.

Even if you encounter an accident, you must calm down and don't show your weaknesses to the enemy.

Being at a loss is tantamount to declaring that you are helpless and waiting to die.

Therefore, the killer's dazedness is a weakness, a hedgehog's belly, and a beast's wound, which must be protected layer by layer and cannot be easily shown to others.

The scene shot today has the same content as yesterday.Ding Wu, the killer played by Guan Chen, is lying on a hospital bed with his eyes closed.And the waste material played by Xiang Jun, after stealing the identity of the killer and spending all the money in the wallet heartlessly, sneaked into the ward, wanting to return the clothes and wallet.As a result, Ding Wu, who was dozing off, grabbed his wrist and almost peed in fear. He was about to kneel down and beg for mercy.Dan Ding Wu looked at the ceiling and asked Waste Wood: 【Who am I? 】The waste material is unknown.Ding Wu began to mechanically relay what the doctor had told him, saying that his name was Fang Liren, he fell on the back of his head in the bathhouse, and temporarily lost his memory. 【Do you know me? ] Ding Wu asked about waste material.

Ding Wu played by Guan Chen yesterday was like a blank sheet of paper, with no tendency in his tone.

Today's Ding Wu, when he asked the waste material, his tone was hopeful, as if he was asking for an answer from a good-hearted person, but his eyes scratched the waste material fiercely, and his limbs were even more guarded than yesterday .Like a poisonous snake that is about to pounce, but also like a beast that has been charged for a long time.If something goes wrong, they will fight back violently.

But after the performance, Director Tian still seemed not very satisfied.

"I'm at a loss and anxious." Guan Chen emphasized to Director Tian.

"It's not just you who are at a loss and anxious, I'm also at a loss..." Director Tian thought Guan Chen was acting like a baby and complaining, but he muttered "at a loss" and "anxiety", feeling that these two words were so familiar.Director Tian suddenly realized something, and covered his forehead with a headache.After a few seconds, announce to everyone: "Take a break for 10 minutes!"

Everyone on the set dispersed to rest, even though today's shooting had just started for a while.

Director Tian called the assistant director, cameraman, and screenwriter together, frowning and asking them what to do.And those people shook their heads.Dao Tian touched his forehead feebly, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly walked towards Guan Chen who was resting on the hospital bed.

The crew tacitly gave up space to the director and leading actors.
